Welcome to the Endtime Weekly Briefing

By Bryan Smith, Editor

If you’ve been part of the Endtime family for any length of time, you know that our mission has never been simply to report the news. Since Irvin Baxter founded Endtime Ministries, our calling has been to help people understand current events through the lens of Bible prophecy. Every broadcast, magazine, article, lesson, and conference has been built on that conviction.

Today, we’re excited to introduce a new chapter in that mission.

Welcome to the Endtime Weekly Briefing.

The world doesn’t slow down. Every week brings another headline about war, artificial intelligence, global governance, Israel, religious movements, economic uncertainty, or rapidly changing technology. The pace of information can be overwhelming, and not every story deserves your attention. More importantly, not every story deserves equal prophetic significance.

That’s where we hope this briefing serves you.

Each week, our team will carefully evaluate the week’s biggest developments and provide thoughtful, biblically grounded analysis to help you separate the truly significant from the merely sensational. Our goal isn’t to generate fear or speculation. It’s to provide clarity, context, and confidence through the unchanging truth of God’s Word.

Each edition of the Endtime Weekly Briefing will include several recurring sections you’ve already begun to see.

Our Top Story will examine the week’s most important prophetic development with a deeper biblical perspective.

Urgent Question will explore one of the most common questions people ask about Bible prophecy, theology, or current events, pointing readers back to Scripture rather than speculation.

Prophecy Watch will provide six carefully selected headlines that every student of Bible prophecy should have on their radar.

You’ll also find the latest episodes of The Endtime Show, featured study resources, updates from across Endtime Ministries, and opportunities to continue growing through Only Source, Jerusalem Prophecy College, and other ministry initiatives.

Our prayer is that this becomes more than another email in your inbox.

We want it to become part of your weekly routine.

A trusted briefing.

A dependable source.

A place where you can step back from the noise, understand what’s happening in the world, and remember that God remains firmly in control.

I’m honored to serve as the editor of this new publication.

I’ve been part of the Endtime family for more than twenty-five years and have spent much of my life studying Scripture, teaching Bible prophecy, and helping believers understand God’s prophetic plan. Along the way, I’ve served in pastoral ministry, theological education, and academic leadership, while continuing to write, teach, and host The Bible Prophecy Show. Those experiences have only deepened my conviction that Bible prophecy isn’t meant to produce fear, it is meant to produce faith, hope, urgency, and confidence in God’s sovereign plan.

As editor of the Endtime Weekly Briefing, my commitment is simple: every issue will strive to be biblically faithful, theologically responsible, intellectually honest, and practically helpful. We won’t chase every headline. We won’t manufacture sensationalism. We will seek to help you think biblically about the world you’re living in.

None of this replaces what has made Endtime Ministries unique for more than three decades. Rather, it builds upon that foundation while presenting it in a way that helps today’s readers quickly understand the week’s most important prophetic developments.

Whether you’ve been with Endtime since the earliest radio broadcasts or this is your very first introduction to our ministry, we’re grateful you’re here.

Thank you for inviting us into your inbox each week.

We look forward to studying God’s Word with you, watching world events together, and encouraging one another as we continue to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ, and the soon-coming kingdom of God.
