A World on Edge: Global Turmoil and Biblical Prophecy

As geopolitical tensions intensify, natural disasters capture international attention, and concerns grow over the vulnerability of global infrastructure, Pastor Paul Begley and his guest, Mike From Around the World, examined a series of troubling developments during a broadcast titled “Global Events Gone Crazy.”

The discussion brought together reports of escalating Middle East tensions, possible threats to international communications networks, earthquake activity, and political unrest. Throughout the program, Begley and Mike encouraged viewers to consider how these developments might relate to biblical warnings about the last days, while emphasizing the importance of spiritual preparedness.

Middle East Tensions Raise Concerns About Regional Stability

During the broadcast, Pastor Paul Begley reported alarming developments involving Iran and neighboring Gulf states, including Kuwait and Bahrain. According to Begley, an attack at Kuwait’s airport reportedly left one person dead and 63 injured, while additional military activity involving Bahrain raised concerns about a widening regional confrontation. He also discussed reports of American military retaliation, describing the situation as increasingly dangerous.

Begley warned that the escalating conflict could have consequences extending far beyond the countries directly involved. His discussion emphasized the strategic importance of the Persian Gulf, where military confrontations could disrupt international shipping, energy supplies, and regional security. He presented these developments as part of a broader pattern of instability unfolding across the Middle East.

Joining the discussion, Mike From Around the World examined Iran’s strategic position and the potential consequences of continued military pressure. He suggested that Iran’s ability to withstand confrontation, combined with the involvement of other regional and international powers, could make the situation more complicated than many observers anticipate. Their conversation highlighted concerns that further escalation could produce unpredictable developments throughout the region.

Could Global Communications Infrastructure Become a Target?

One of the broadcast’s most striking discussions concerned alleged threats to underwater communications cables near the Strait of Hormuz. Begley raised concerns about reports suggesting that critical fiber-optic infrastructure could become a target during a regional confrontation.

Submarine cables carry a substantial share of international data traffic, connecting financial institutions, businesses, governments, and communications networks across continents. Damage to important cable routes can disrupt connectivity, although the severity depends on the location, available alternative routes, and the ability of network operators to reroute traffic.

The program’s claims about specific Iranian threats and the number of cables potentially affected have not been independently established in this report. Nevertheless, the discussion underscores a genuine strategic vulnerability: modern societies depend on interconnected infrastructure that can be disrupted by conflict, accidents, or natural disasters.

Earthquakes and European Unrest Add to Global Anxiety

Begley also discussed reports of a powerful earthquake in the China–Tibet region, citing preliminary accounts of casualties and injuries. The broadcast connected the reported seismic activity to broader concerns about natural disasters and the possibility of additional geological disturbances.

Earthquakes are an established hazard in tectonically active regions, and initial reports following major seismic events frequently change as authorities assess damage and casualties. While such disasters deserve serious attention and humanitarian concern, scientists cannot reliably predict the precise timing, location, and magnitude of future earthquakes. Any suggestion that a particular seismic event signals an imminent global catastrophe should therefore be treated cautiously.

The broadcast additionally addressed demonstrations and political unrest in parts of Europe. Begley described growing social tensions and questioned whether political instability might become more widespread. Although individual claims about the organization or financing of protests require supporting evidence, public demonstrations and political polarization remain important subjects for responsible reporting.

What Does the Bible Say About a World in Turmoil?

For Christians who study biblical prophecy, these developments naturally raise questions about Jesus’ teachings concerning the period preceding His return. In Matthew 24, Christ warned His disciples that they would hear of wars, rumors of wars, famines, earthquakes, and other disturbances.

Matthew 24:6–8 (KJV):

“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

All these are the beginning of sorrows.”

These passages have encouraged generations of believers to remain spiritually watchful during periods of uncertainty. Yet Jesus also cautioned His followers against fear and premature conclusions, reminding them that the appearance of troubling events does not, by itself, establish the timing of the end.

The Revelation Watchers team believes that biblical prophecy should be approached with prayer, discernment, and careful attention to Scripture. Examining contemporary events through a biblical lens can encourage spiritual reflection, but responsible interpretation also requires distinguishing confirmed developments from speculation and prophetic opinion.

A Call to Spiritual Readiness, Not Fear

As the broadcast concluded, the central message was one of vigilance and preparedness. Begley and Mike encouraged viewers to remain attentive to international developments while placing their ultimate confidence in God rather than in political leaders, economic systems, or predictions about the future.

For believers, the most important response to an uncertain world is not panic but renewed faith, prayer, compassion, and a commitment to sharing the Gospel. Jesus’ words in Luke 21:28 offer an enduring reminder that Christians are called to look toward God’s promises even during difficult times.

Luke 21:28 (KJV):

“And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”

Whatever developments may unfold in the days ahead, the Christian calling remains unchanged: to remain faithful, exercise discernment, care for others, and proclaim the hope found in Jesus Christ.

A Prophetic Warning—and a Promise of Hope

What if the greatest shaking of our generation becomes the catalyst for one of the greatest spiritual awakenings in modern history?

That is the extraordinary possibility raised by prophetic minister and bestselling author Joseph Z in his October 26 broadcast, “PROPHECY: STORM INCOMING, THE GREAT HALT—BUT HEAVEN HAS A SURPRISE!!” During the message, Joseph Z warned of what he believes could become an unprecedented period of global instability, involving power grid disruptions, economic turmoil, and geopolitical flare-ups.

Yet his message was ultimately one of hope: that God could intervene in unexpected ways, raising up a generation of believers whose faith and courage would challenge the darkness.

His warning carries particular significance for readers of Trump vs. the Beast: The Ten Kings Prophecy and the Bible’s Revelation of Coming Final Days (Humanix Books/Newsmax Media), the newly released #1 bestseller by Pastor Paul Begley and I (Troy Anderson), featuring forewords by actor Kevin Sorbo and Joseph Z. The book explores many of the same prophetic questions Joseph Z raised during his broadcast, including the rise of the Antichrist system and the possibility of what Pastor Begley calls the “Great Harvest Revival.”

The Great Halt: A Warning of Global Shaking

One of the most striking elements of Joseph Z’s message was his repeated reference to what he calls the “Great Halt,” a possible disruption that he believes could affect electrical grids, communications networks, technology, economic systems, and international security. He described a prophetic impression of an event that could become a defining moment in history, suggesting that the period extending into 2027 may be particularly significant, although he acknowledged uncertainty about the timing and sequence of events.

Joseph Z also discussed reports concerning U.S. military infrastructure preparedness, escalating tensions involving Israel and Iran, and the possibility of technological or economic disruptions. He interpreted these developments as potential indicators of the instability he believes is approaching. However, his prediction of a global halt remains a prophetic interpretation, and military contingency planning does not establish that a widespread shutdown is imminent.

The Pentagon recently instruct military bases to prepare to run for 90 days without outside help if a war cuts off power and supply chains.

For Christians examining these developments through the lens of biblical prophecy, Jesus’ words offer an important reminder.

Matthew 24:6 (KJV)

“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.”

Christ’s instruction calls believers to remain spiritually watchful without surrendering to fear, recognizing that their ultimate hope rests in God’s sovereignty rather than the stability of earthly institutions.

Heaven’s Surprise: An Unconventional Spiritual Awakening

Perhaps the most encouraging part of Joseph Z’s broadcast came when he described what he believes could be an unexpected intervention from heaven. Rather than portraying the future as an uninterrupted advance of darkness, he expressed his conviction that God could raise up an extraordinary revival amid the very circumstances that appear to threaten society.

Joseph Z envisioned a grassroots revival extending beyond traditional churches, reaching young people, families, and communities searching for truth. He emphasized that this awakening would combine biblical education with the power of the Holy Spirit, equipping believers to explain their faith, proclaim the gospel, and demonstrate God’s love through transformed lives.

His message echoes the words of the prophet Zechariah:

Zechariah 4:6 (KJV)

“Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.”

For Joseph Z, the Church’s greatest strength does not come from political influence, economic resources, or human institutions, but from the transforming power of God’s Spirit.

Joseph Z’s Foreword to Trump vs. the Beast: A Message of Prophetic Warning and Hope

Joseph Z’s latest broadcast closely parallels the message he contributed to Trump vs. the Beast, in which Pastor Paul Begley and Troy Anderson examine the biblical prophecies of the Ten Kings, the Antichrist system, the restrainer described in 2 Thessalonians, and the possible prophetic implications of artificial intelligence, digital currencies, and emerging global power systems.

In his foreword, Joseph Z emphasizes that the book is not simply about recognizing potential dangers, but about preparing believers to stand courageously in faith. He writes:

“A point I find refreshing is that this book does not close with fear, but rather in victorious faith.”

That statement captures the central connection between his foreword and his October 26 broadcast. While warning of increasing instability and spiritual deception, Joseph Z also emphasizes the possibility of a Great Harvest Revival—an awakening that could inspire younger generations to rediscover biblical truth, embrace the power of the Holy Spirit, and boldly proclaim Jesus Christ.

His foreword reinforces one of the book’s central messages: The Church must recognize the times, remain grounded in the Bible, and prepare for the future with faith rather than fear.

Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, acknowledging that You alone are sovereign over the nations and the course of history. In a world filled with uncertainty, conflict, and spiritual challenges, grant us wisdom to distinguish truth from deception, courage from fear, and Your eternal Word from human speculation.

Lord, we pray for a mighty spiritual awakening across America and throughout the nations.

Protect our families, guide our leaders, strengthen our churches, and help us become instruments of Your peace, truth, and compassion.

A Prayer of Salvation

Lord Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner in need of Your grace. I believe You died for my sins and rose again. Forgive me, cleanse my heart, and become the Lord and Savior of my life. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and guide me in Your truth. From this day forward, help me follow You faithfully and share Your love with others.

In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

A New Journey Through the Bible’s Most Mysterious Book

What does the Book of Revelation really reveal about the future of humanity? What do its visions of the seven churches, the Four Horsemen, the Antichrist, the mark of the Beast, Armageddon, and the return of Jesus Christ mean? And how can Christians understand these extraordinary prophecies without becoming overwhelmed by fear, confusion, or speculation?

Revelation Watchers is pleased to introduce The Book of Revelation Explained, a new 30-part biblical study series by Troy and Irene Anderson, exploring all twenty-two chapters of the Bible’s final book. Presented through the Revelation Watchers Prophecy Library, this series will combine careful examination of the Bible, historical research, theological perspectives, and practical Christian teaching to help readers understand one of the most profound and frequently misunderstood books in the Bible.

Our goal is to make Revelation understandable to both first-time Bible readers and longtime students of prophecy, while developing a comprehensive manuscript for a future book, The Book of Revelation Explained: Understanding Biblical Prophecy, the End Times, and the Ultimate Victory of Jesus Christ.

Each study will be published as it is completed, carefully researched, and prepared for our readers. Rather than rushing through Scripture to meet a rigid schedule, we are committed to developing a thoughtful, enduring biblical resource that encourages deeper understanding, spiritual growth, and renewed hope in Jesus Christ.

Today, we invite you to begin that journey.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ

Few books in the Bible have inspired as much fascination, anticipation, debate, and misunderstanding as the Book of Revelation. For nearly two thousand years, its extraordinary visions of heavenly worship, mysterious beasts, seven seals, divine judgments, and the glorious return of Jesus Christ have captivated believers and challenged biblical scholars. Its imagery has influenced literature, art, theology, and popular culture, while its prophecies have prompted generations of Christians to wrestle with some of humanity’s most profound questions. Where is history leading? Why does God allow suffering and evil? What will happen before Jesus Christ returns? And what does Scripture reveal about the ultimate destiny of humanity?

Yet amid Revelation’s mysteries and dramatic imagery, its central message can easily be overlooked. The final book of the Bible is not primarily about the Antichrist, catastrophic judgments, or the destruction of the world. It is, first and foremost, the revelation of Jesus Christ. Its opening words direct our attention to the risen Savior, and its concluding chapters reveal the fulfillment of God’s redemptive purposes, the defeat of evil, and the promise of a new heaven and a new earth. Revelation contains solemn warnings about judgment and rebellion, but it is also a magnificent declaration of divine sovereignty, perseverance, redemption, and extraordinary hope.

The opening verse establishes the foundation for everything that follows.

Revelation 1:1 (KJV)

“The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:”

The word revelation comes from the Greek apokalypsis, meaning an unveiling, disclosure, or revelation of something previously hidden. The book’s title therefore points toward the unveiling of divine truth, not the concealment of knowledge in an impossible puzzle. Although Revelation contains visions and symbols that require careful interpretation, its message was intended to be communicated, understood, and faithfully received. It reveals Jesus Christ in His glory, addresses the spiritual condition of His Church, and directs believers toward the fulfillment of God’s purposes.

Understanding this central theme changes how we approach the entire book. Instead of beginning with speculation about the identity of the Beast, the timing of the Tribulation, or the meaning of the number 666, we begin with Jesus Christ Himself. He is the risen Lord who walks among the seven golden lampstands, the Lamb who is worthy to open the sealed scroll, the King of kings who triumphs over evil, and the One who promises to make all things new. Every vision must ultimately be considered within the larger biblical testimony concerning His authority, His redemptive work, and His everlasting kingdom.

Why Revelation Matters Today

We live in an age of extraordinary transformation. Technological innovation, artificial intelligence, shifting geopolitical alliances, economic uncertainty, international conflict, and cultural upheaval have renewed public interest in questions about the future. For many Christians, these developments have also intensified interest in biblical prophecy. Some wonder whether contemporary events correspond to the visions recorded by John. Others approach Revelation with hesitation, uncertain how to understand its symbols or reconcile the different interpretations offered by pastors, theologians, and prophecy teachers.

These concerns are understandable, but they are hardly unique to our generation. Throughout Christian history, believers have examined the circumstances of their own times through the lens of biblical prophecy. Wars, political revolutions, persecution, economic crises, and the rise and fall of empires have repeatedly led Christians to reconsider the prophetic Scriptures. Some have interpreted Revelation primarily in relation to the ancient Roman Empire and the experiences of the early Church. Others have viewed its visions as unfolding throughout history, pointing toward future events, or depicting enduring spiritual realities that characterize the conflict between the kingdom of God and the powers of evil.

The existence of these different perspectives should not discourage serious study. Instead, it reminds us that Revelation deserves more than superficial interpretation or sensational predictions. Its language is rich with Old Testament imagery, its visions communicate profound theological truths, and its historical setting provides essential clues to understanding its message. Responsible interpretation requires humility, patience, and a willingness to distinguish what the Bible explicitly declares from conclusions that depend upon a particular theological framework.

Whatever questions remain about prophetic timelines, Revelation communicates truths that are foundational to Christian faith. God is sovereign over creation and history. Jesus Christ has conquered death. His Church is called to remain faithful amid suffering, deception, and temptation. Evil and injustice will not prevail forever. And the promises of God will ultimately be fulfilled.

For this reason, Revelation should not lead Christians into constant anxiety about what might happen tomorrow. It calls us instead to spiritual vigilance, steadfast faith, discernment, and confidence in the Lord who holds the future in His hands.

Is France Showing America Its Possible Future?

Could the political unrest shaking France offer a warning about America’s future?

As I examine the demonstrations and rioting in France involving hundreds of thousands of people, I see troubling parallels with challenges facing the United States—from immigration to public safety to economic pressures and declining trust in government.

In our recent Revelation Watchers investigations, Europe in Turmoil: France Burns, Italy Erupts, and Trump’s Warnings Raise Questions About America’s Future and The Two Faces of France: Christian Revival, Revolutionary Unrest, and the Battle for Europe’s Spiritual Future, we examined the growing contrast between political upheaval and renewed expressions of Christian faith across Europe.

But beneath the demonstrations lies a deeper question: Are organized political movements exploiting legitimate public frustration to advance broader ideological agendas? Could similar forces intensify America’s divisions?

President Trump just told the crowd at one of his rallies that when they see “burning steeples and raging fires in France,” they should remember that “is what the radical Democrats want to do to America.”

In light of this, what can history and Bible prophecy reveal about the warning signs America should not ignore at this time?

Who Is Behind France’s Protests? Following the Political Networks

An October 9 Fox News Digital investigation by Asra Q. Nomani identified 50 organizations connected to France’s student protest movement and its broader network of supporters, including labor unions, political parties, socialist and communist groups, and advocacy organizations. An October 19 follow-up expanded the count to 54 organizations, including 16 student or youth groups.

The reporting also examined international activist-media networks, including BreakThrough News and its reported financial connections to businessman Neville Roy Singham. Reuters separately reported widespread demonstrations across France on October 17, with many participating peacefully while violence erupted in some locations.

These reports raise important questions about political coordination, funding, and whether organized movements may be seeking to capitalize on legitimate public frustration. Who finances these networks, and who benefits when instability escalates?

Following the money requires following the evidence—and distinguishing legitimate protest from unlawful violence.

Some contemporary prophetic voices have described this as a season when hidden corruption and deception may be exposed. Such interpretations require discernment, but Luke 8:17 (KJV) reminds us:

“For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.”

As a Christian journalist, I pray that truth will prevail, wrongdoing will be exposed, and justice will be served. Our responsibility is to follow the evidence while trusting God to bring truth into the light.

Marco Rubio’s Warning: The Future of Western Civilization

Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s October 7 address in Athens offered a historical perspective on the West’s future. Speaking at the Pnyx near the Acropolis, Rubio reflected on the inheritance of ancient Greece, Rome, Christianity, and America’s founding traditions:

“The thumos, as the ancient Greeks called it – the fire of passion, strength, courage, pride – is the heart of great civilization. And without it? Without it, nations lose their will to fight, the will to strive, the will to survive.

Today, too much of the West has forgotten this quality. Over time, we in the West came to feel ashamed of the very things that made us exceptional. We felt embarrassed that our achievements set us apart from the rest of the world. Our prosperity somehow became a source of guilt. We no longer believed we deserved and had earned our greatness.

The word “nationalism” became a dirty word. And so we tore down our monuments; we condemned our own history. And in too many places, we taught our children to be ashamed of the countries they would inherit. In the process, we opened our borders and outsourced our industry, and allowed our militaries to wither and to decay.

And with every passing year, we seemed to outsource more of our sovereignty, transferring our decisions to global bureaucracies far beyond the reach of our control.

But others were all too happy to fill the vacuum that we left – the vacuum left behind by our weakness. And as the West’s confidence faltered, its adversaries and its rivals only grew more assertive, building up their own wealth and their own power in our stead.

And now, today, we find ourselves at a crossroads. Because the next decade and the decisions we make will write the story of the next century. The course we take will determine whether the West maintains its place at the head of the world or resigns itself to a future of atrophy and servitude and decline. We will either choose to act now or lose the choice to act at all.”

His remarks raise a profound question: Can Western civilization preserve its liberties while losing confidence in the principles that sustain them?

Political institutions and economic strength matter, but freedom also depends on moral responsibility, civic virtue, and respect for human dignity. For Christians, lasting renewal begins with transformed hearts, as Romans 12:2 teaches through its call to the renewing of the mind.

Romans 12:2 says: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”

Two Revolutions, Two Legacies: Schiller, Faith, and the Price of Freedom

For me, the struggle between liberty and tyranny carries a deeply personal connection. My grandmother, Trella Schiller, encouraged me as a young boy to follow in the footsteps of our family’s celebrated literary forebear, the German poet, playwright, and philosopher Friedrich von Schiller.

His revolutionary drama The Robbers, first performed in 1782, challenged abuses of authority and established his reputation as a powerful voice for freedom and human dignity. In 1792, France’s revolutionary government honored Schiller with French citizenship. Yet Schiller later recoiled from the revolution’s violence as France descended into the Reign of Terror, when thousands were executed by guillotine or killed amid political persecution.

The contrast with America’s founding offers a powerful lesson.

The American Revolution drew upon Enlightenment ideals, natural rights, and religious traditions that helped shape the new republic. George Washington advocated humane treatment for captured British and Hessian soldiers, and the British surrender at Yorktown in 1781 was governed by negotiated terms rather than mass executions.

America’s record was imperfect, however, and its founding ideals coexisted with slavery and other injustices. France also possessed deep Christian roots, but revolutionaries influenced by secret societies attacked the Catholic Church, confiscated church property, and persecuted clergy during the revolution’s radical phase.

Neither revolution can be reduced to a simple contest between faith and unbelief. Yet their histories demonstrate how the pursuit of liberty can lose its moral purpose when vengeance, ideological extremism, and the dehumanization of opponents replace justice and restraint.

Schiller’s legacy reminds me that freedom must be accompanied by moral responsibility. Proverbs 14:34 (KJV) declares, “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.”

Could America Face a Similar Crisis?

America is not France, and Europe’s unrest does not make similar upheaval inevitable here. Nevertheless, immigration disputes, economic insecurity, political polarization, and weakened public trust present serious challenges on both sides of the Atlantic.

President Donald Trump has made border security, immigration enforcement, deportations, and investigations of government fraud central priorities of his administration. His administration’s immigration policies have coincided with a sharp decline in illegal border crossings and an expansion of enforcement operations.

Supporters regard these measures as necessary to restore national sovereignty, protect taxpayers, and uphold the rule of law. Critics question aspects of enforcement, including due process and the treatment of families and communities. The challenge is whether America can address security, immigration, and fraud effectively while preserving constitutional protections and public confidence.

Jesus warned in Matthew 12:25 (KJV), “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.”

Secure borders, accountable government, and effective institutions matter. But national strength also requires truth, justice, responsibility, and a willingness to resist the hatred that can tear a society apart.

Prophetic Insight: Could Greater Shaking Be Ahead?

Beyond the protests, could Europe face overlapping challenges involving political instability, public health, sovereign debt, banking vulnerabilities, and growing pressure on European unity?

History shows that crises can compound one another. Yet there is no established evidence that France’s unrest will produce another pandemic, trigger widespread bank failures, or cause the European Union to collapse. These are risks to evaluate responsibly, not outcomes to declare inevitable.

In the last days Jesus spoke of earthquakes, famines, and pestilences in Luke 21:11. Revelation 6 describes conflict, scarcity, and suffering, while Daniel 2 portrays the world’s great kingdoms, including the final Antichrist kingdom.

These passages invite serious reflection. Jesus instructed His followers in Mark 13:37 (KJV), “And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.”

Ezekiel 33 likewise describes a watchman who recognizes danger and sounds a warning. For Christians today, that calling should inspire discernment, preparedness, and prayer.

The message is not to panic, but to watch, pray, and remain faithful.

Trump vs. the Beast: The Spiritual Questions Behind Global Change

These concerns connect with themes Pastor Paul Begley and I explore in our new book, Trump vs. the Beast: The Ten Kings Prophecy and the Bible’s Revelation of Coming Final Days (Humanix Books/Newsmax Media, October 6, 2026).

Drawing on biblical prophecy, history, and contemporary developments, we examine artificial intelligence, the Ten Kings who help bring the Antichrist to power, the alien deception, what the elite call “The Event” between now and 2030, and questions surrounding the future of freedom.

The books of Daniel and Revelation warn about deception, earthly authority, and spiritual allegiance. One question remains central: Where should we place our ultimate trust when governments, economies, and societies face uncertainty?

Psalm 146:3 (KJV) reminds us, “Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.”

Billy Graham’s Message: The Hope of Spiritual Revival

During my 2013 interview with evangelist Billy Graham, he spoke about Jonah and Nineveh—a city that responded to God’s warning of judgment through repentance.

That account has stayed with me because it reminds us that warnings can become opportunities for transformation rather than declarations of inevitable destruction.

America needs sound policies and responsible leadership. But we also need humility, moral courage, compassion, and a renewed commitment to God.

That conviction is central to our “Trump vs. the Beast Save America Rescue Operation,” running September 24 through November 3, 2026, alongside the release of Trump vs. the Beast. Through prayer, fasting, and repentance, we encourage Christians to seek God on behalf of their families, churches, communities, and nation.

As 2 Chronicles 7:14 reminds believers, spiritual renewal begins with humility, prayer, and turning from wrongdoing.

Could America Be Next?

France’s unrest does not determine America’s destiny. But history reminds us that no nation is immune to political division, economic instability, or the erosion of public trust.

The question is not whether America is destined to repeat France’s experience, but whether we will recognize the warning signs, learn from history, and respond with wisdom before divisions deepen.

For Christians, Bible prophecy offers a call to vigilance, discernment, and faith—not a reason to surrender to fear.

Ultimately, our greatest hope is not found in political hostility or despair, but in truth, justice, repentance, and the transforming power of Jesus Christ.

A Prayer for America, Europe, and Spiritual Revival

Heavenly Father, we lift up America, France, and the nations of Europe. Bring peace where violence has wounded communities, justice where people suffer, and wisdom to those entrusted with leadership. Protect our nations from disease, financial turmoil, and deepening division. Expose corruption and deception wherever they exist, and raise up faithful watchmen who speak truth with courage and compassion. During these 40 days of prayer and repentance, awaken our hearts, strengthen Your Church, and draw us closer to You. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

An Invitation to Receive Jesus Christ

The greatest hope I can offer is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Romans 10:9 teaches that salvation comes through confessing Jesus as Lord and believing that God raised Him from the dead.

If you are ready to place your faith in Him, you can pray:

Lord Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God, that You died for my sins and rose again. Forgive me, cleanse my heart, and become my Lord and Savior. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and guide me in Your truth. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Europe’s unrest does not determine America’s destiny. But it offers a timely opportunity to examine the strength of our institutions, the health of our communities, and the condition of our hearts.

Our greatest hope is not fear, political hostility, or despair—but truth, justice, repentance, and the transforming power of Jesus Christ.

A Crisis at the Crossroads: Iran, Cyberwarfare, and America’s Future

Could an international cyber crisis strike at one of the most politically consequential moments in American history?

With the November 3, 2026, midterm elections approaching, tensions involving Iran have raised new concerns about the vulnerability of global communications infrastructure. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has reportedly identified seven major undersea internet cables passing through the Strait of Hormuz as potential targets in an escalating confrontation with the United States. Such infrastructure supports international communications, banking, commerce, and essential digital services, making it an increasingly sensitive dimension of modern geopolitical conflict.

Against this backdrop, I (Pulitzer Prize–nominated investigative journalist and bestselling author Troy Anderson) and internationally known evangelist Pastor Paul Begley joined broadcaster David Nino Rodriguez on Nino’s Corner for a wide-ranging discussion about cyberwarfare, political upheaval, the possibility of a November “Black Swan” event, and the prophetic themes explored in our newly released book, Trump vs. the Beast: The Ten Kings Prophecy and the Bible’s Revelation of Coming Final Days, the #1 “Best Seller” and #1 “Hot New Release” in “Prophecies” on Amazon.

Our conversation examined a question extending far beyond any single election: Could a major international emergency expose the fragility of modern civilization while accelerating changes in political, financial, and technological power?

Although an attack on undersea cables could cause serious regional disruption, no evidence establishes that a coordinated global internet shutdown is imminent. Nevertheless, the reported warning underscores a legitimate concern: as nations become increasingly dependent on interconnected digital networks, critical infrastructure may become a strategic target in future conflicts.

A November Black Swan? Pastor Paul Begley’s Warning

During the interview, Pastor Begley warned that the period surrounding the November midterm elections could become especially volatile. He raised concerns about political unrest, cyberattacks, and the possibility that an unexpected international emergency could dramatically alter America’s political environment.

Begley specifically identified November 15 as a date he believes deserves attention.

“Be careful about November 15th. Black swan.”

— Pastor Paul Begley, Nino’s Corner, approximately 38:23

The warning came amid a broader discussion about whether a serious disruption affecting financial networks, electronic payments, telecommunications, or essential services could generate widespread public anxiety. Begley suggested that repeated technological crises might increase pressure for more centralized digital systems, raising questions about financial independence, privacy, and the concentration of authority.

Rodriguez also questioned whether an unexpected emergency could overshadow the midterm elections or become a catalyst for extraordinary political decisions. I connected these concerns to the larger struggle over national sovereignty, emerging technology, and individual freedom examined in Trump vs. the Beast.

Trump vs. the Beast: The Prophetic Battle Behind the Headlines

What happens when biblical prophecy intersects with artificial intelligence, global political upheaval, digital surveillance, and the struggle for the future of civilization?

In our new book, Trump vs. the Beast (Humanix Books/Newsmax Media, October 6, 2026) we investigate the forces reshaping the modern world through the lens of Scripture, examining the rise of technological power, the mystery of the Ten Kings, and biblical warnings concerning the Antichrist, and the final struggle between good and evil.

One of the central passages discussed during our interview is Revelation 17, where the Apostle John describes ten kings who unite their authority with the Beast.

Revelation 17:12–13 (KJV)

“And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.”

For generations, Bible prophecy scholars have debated whether these kings represent political rulers, nations, regional alliances, or other concentrations of authority. Begley raised the possibility that modern technological and financial power could offer another perspective on this passage, while I examined how artificial intelligence and interconnected digital systems are transforming the balance of influence between governments, corporations, and individuals.

The discussion also addressed Revelation 13:16–17, which describes an end-times economic system connected to the authority of the Beast, as well as the mysterious Restrainer in 2 Thessalonians 2. We considered whether emerging technologies, international instability, and growing demands for centralized systems could resemble conditions associated with biblical warnings about deception and the last days.

Through investigative research, biblical analysis, and contemporary events, Trump vs. the Beast invites readers to explore these questions while emphasizing spiritual discernment, prayer, repentance, and faith in Jesus Christ.

The Restrainer, the Days of Noah, and the Warning Against Deception

Another important theme of the interview concerned the biblical mystery of the Restrainer, described in 2 Thessalonians 2. I discussed prophetic claims by Brandon Biggs involving a possible future pandemic and the removal of a spiritual restraining influence before the revelation of the Antichrist.

The conversation also explored unidentified aerial phenomena, alleged supernatural deception, and the possibility that extraordinary future events could challenge people’s understanding of reality. I noted that Trump vs. the Beast examines the idea of an “alien deception.”

Jesus warned that the days preceding His return would resemble the days of Noah, when people continued their ordinary lives without recognizing the seriousness of their spiritual condition.

Matthew 24:37 (KJV)

“But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”

A Call to Prayer, Repentance, and Revival: Troy Anderson and Pastor Paul Begley

Despite their warnings about possible geopolitical upheaval, we emphasized that the Christian response should ultimately be one of faith rather than fear. As co-founders of Revelation Watchers and coauthors of Trump vs. the Beast, we encourage you to remain spiritually vigilant, grounded in the Bible, and committed to prayer during times of national and global uncertainty.

During the interview, I highlighted the “Trump vs. the Beast Save America Rescue Operation,” a campaign of prayer, fasting, and repentance running from September 24 through November 3, 2026. Connected to the release of Trump vs. the Beast, the initiative calls Christians to seek God, pray for America’s leaders, strengthen their families, and pursue spiritual renewal. Begley likewise emphasized the importance of recognizing the times through biblical prophecy while remaining steadfast in faith and spiritual preparedness.

I also recalled my 2013 interview with legendary evangelist Billy Graham, who spoke about the biblical account of Jonah and Nineveh. When the people of Nineveh responded to a warning with repentance, God showed mercy. I connected Graham’s message to the possibility of spiritual revival in America, reflecting on the September 2020 gathering known as The Return: National and Global Day of Prayer and Repentance, and pointed to renewed interest in Christianity among younger generations.

2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

Our central message extends beyond political uncertainty, technological disruption, or predictions about the future. Whatever happens in Washington, Tehran, or the global financial system, the greatest preparation is spiritual preparation—turning to God through prayer, repentance, and unwavering faith in Jesus Christ.

Final Thoughts: The Countdown Is Not to Fear, but to Faith

The conversation on Nino’s Corner brought together some of today’s most pressing concerns: cyberwarfare, America’s political future, the concentration of technological power, and the prophetic questions surrounding the last days. Iran’s reported threats against undersea communications infrastructure deserve attention, but predictions of a November Black Swan or the imminent fulfillment of specific biblical prophecies remain uncertain.

The deeper message of Trump vs. the Beast is not simply that the world faces extraordinary challenges. It is that Christians must remain spiritually prepared, grounded in Scripture, and committed to sharing the hope of the Gospel.

Psalm 46:1 (KJV)

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”

Whatever November brings, faith in God remains a source of strength and hope.

The question is not simply whether a Black Swan event is coming. The greater question is whether we are spiritually prepared for whatever comes next.

A Prayer for America in a Time of Uncertainty

Heavenly Father,

We lift up America, our leaders, our families, and the nations facing conflict and uncertainty. Grant wisdom to those entrusted with protecting innocent lives, preserving peace, and safeguarding our communities. Restrain violence, expose deception, and guide our nation toward truth and righteousness.

Lord, awaken hearts to Your presence. Strengthen Your Church, restore families, and raise up a generation that seeks You above worldly power. Help us remain discerning without becoming fearful, courageous without becoming divided, and faithful through every challenge.

May our ultimate hope rest not in political leaders or human institutions, but in Jesus Christ, our Savior and King.

In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

From the shattered biblical kings of Notre-Dame to today’s struggles over faith, national identity, and political power, France’s turbulent history raises a profound question: Can a civilization rediscover its spiritual foundations before they are lost?

On September 26, 2026, an extraordinary scene unfolded in the heart of one of Europe’s most secular nations. An estimated 800,000 people gathered along the Champs-Élysées and around Place de la Concorde as Pope Leo XIV celebrated an outdoor Mass, filling the historic streets of Paris with prayers, hymns, and a remarkable public expression of Christian faith.

For a nation whose revolutionary history includes the dismantling of religious institutions and the destruction of sacred symbols, the gathering offered a striking reminder that Christianity remains deeply woven into France’s cultural and spiritual identity. The Pope’s message emphasized humanity’s longing for God, spiritual renewal, and the enduring importance of faith in a fractured world.

Yet within days, another dramatically different scene was unfolding across the country.

Students marched through Paris, Marseille, Lyon, and other cities, protesting deteriorating schools, teacher shortages, overcrowded classrooms, and mounting uncertainty about their future. Although many demonstrations remained peaceful, some were marked by vandalism, attacks on educators, burning barricades, and confrontations between protesters and police. Reports of injuries and controversial police tactics further intensified public anger.

The contrast attracted the attention of American broadcaster Glenn Beck, who suggested that France’s contemporary tensions reflect a struggle extending back more than two centuries—a conflict between the nation’s Christian inheritance and revolutionary traditions that challenged established political and religious authority.

But beneath the headlines lies a deeper historical story, one that reaches back to the French Revolution, the destruction of the biblical kings adorning Notre-Dame Cathedral, and the extraordinary survival of a religious heritage that has endured revolution, war, secularization, and profound social transformation.

For Christians examining world events through the lens of the Bible, these developments also raise questions about spiritual renewal, earthly power, and the importance of discernment in an increasingly uncertain world.

Two Faces of France: Faith and Unrest

The September 26 Mass represented one of the most visible expressions of Christian faith in recent French public life. According to the Vatican, approximately 800,000 people attended the celebration, with crowds stretching from Place de la Concorde along the Champs-Élysées toward the Arc de Triomphe. The gathering included practicing Catholics, younger worshippers, political figures, and visitors drawn by the historic occasion.

In his homily, Pope Leo XIV spoke of humanity’s spiritual thirst and described Christ as the source of living water capable of satisfying the deepest longings of the human heart. He encouraged French Catholics to share their faith through lives of service, compassion, and witness, while acknowledging the country’s long Christian history.

The gathering was especially significant in a nation where the principle of laïcité, or secularism, has shaped public institutions and the relationship between religion and government for generations. France’s secular constitutional tradition protects freedom of conscience while maintaining the separation of religious institutions from the state. Yet secular government does not necessarily mean the disappearance of religious belief, and the Paris gathering demonstrated that Christianity continues to command a substantial public presence.

Indeed, Pope Leo subsequently pointed to growing interest in baptism among young people and adults as an encouraging development within the French Church. Such signs do not establish a nationwide religious revival, but they complicate the familiar narrative that Christianity’s influence in Western Europe is destined only to decline.

At nearly the same moment, however, another national movement was gaining momentum.

Beginning in September, students and education workers organized demonstrations against deteriorating educational conditions, inadequate staffing, and concerns about the future facing younger generations. By early October, the protests had spread across France, transforming local grievances into a national debate over public investment, institutional accountability, and the government’s economic priorities.

On October 8, Reuters reported that 71,500 people participated in demonstrations nationwide, including 24,500 in Paris, according to the Interior Ministry. While the principal Paris demonstration was largely peaceful, authorities reported incidents elsewhere involving vandalized school facilities, attacks on teachers, and violence against public property. Police responses also generated controversy, particularly following serious injuries to young demonstrators.

The movement continued into the following week. On October 13, the Interior Ministry estimated that approximately 161,500 people had joined another wave of demonstrations, while student organizers reported substantially higher participation.

Behind the unrest lies a difficult national dilemma. France faces substantial public debt, budgetary constraints, and competing demands for government spending, even as citizens call for improvements in education and other essential services. The demonstrations have exposed a widening gap between younger generations’ expectations and their confidence in the institutions responsible for preparing them for the future.

These protests cannot fairly be reduced to a rejection of Christianity or French civilization. Many participants are motivated by legitimate concerns about education, opportunity, and public services, and their demands must be distinguished from violence committed by individual demonstrators.

Nevertheless, the juxtaposition of enormous religious gatherings and nationwide political unrest presents two striking expressions of a society searching for answers—one drawing upon spiritual tradition, the other demanding institutional change. Together, they illuminate a country confronting difficult questions about its identity, values, and future.

Glenn Beck’s Warning: A Nation Divided Against Itself

In a recent commentary, Glenn Beck drew a dramatic parallel between contemporary France and the revolutionary upheavals that transformed the country during the late eighteenth century. His central argument was that France’s current tensions reflect more than temporary political dissatisfaction; they reveal a longstanding struggle between competing interpretations of the nation’s historical and cultural identity.

One vision emphasizes France’s Christian inheritance, its magnificent cathedrals, centuries-old religious traditions, and the faith that influenced much of European civilization. The other, in Beck’s interpretation, draws from revolutionary movements that challenged inherited structures of authority and sought to redefine the relationship between the individual, religion, and the state.

For Beck, the contrast between public Christian worship and scenes of unrest symbolizes a deeper conflict over France’s future. He traces that struggle to the French Revolution, when revolutionary factions sought not only to overthrow the monarchy but also to transform the nation’s religious and political foundations.

The comparison is provocative, but it requires historical care. Modern student demonstrations are not direct equivalents of the French Revolution, nor is contemporary France simply divided between Christianity and revolutionary ideology. The Revolution itself involved complex disputes over political representation, taxation, inequality, religious authority, and the meaning of liberty. Its legacy includes both the expansion of modern ideas about citizenship and episodes of severe political repression and religious persecution.

Nevertheless, Beck’s commentary highlights a genuine historical paradox. France is simultaneously the homeland of medieval cathedrals, Christian saints, theological scholarship, and centuries of Catholic influence—and a nation whose revolutionary traditions profoundly reshaped the relationship between religion, government, and civic identity.

Nowhere is that tension more vividly preserved than in the stones of Notre-Dame Cathedral, where one of the French Revolution’s most remarkable acts of destruction left a legacy that would remain hidden beneath Paris for nearly two centuries.

The Beheaded Kings of Notre-Dame: A Warning from History

In 1793, at the height of the French Revolution, an extraordinary act of destruction unfolded at Notre-Dame Cathedral. High above its western entrance stood a gallery of 28 crowned figures, carved in stone and overlooking the streets of medieval Paris. To revolutionary crowds, the statues appeared to represent the kings of France, whose monarchy had been overthrown and whose symbols of authority they were determined to dismantle.

But the revolutionaries had made a profound mistake.

The figures did not depict the kings of France. They represented the biblical kings of Judah, associated with the ancestral lineage of Jesus Christ. Mistaking them for symbols of the fallen monarchy, revolutionary authorities ordered the sculptures removed from the cathedral’s façade. Their heads were severed and their bodies broken apart in an episode of iconoclasm that reflected the determination to dismantle visible symbols of the old political and religious order.

The campaign extended beyond the statues themselves. During the revolutionary movement to reduce Christianity’s influence on French public life, Notre-Dame was stripped of much of its traditional religious function. In November 1793, the cathedral became the setting for celebrations associated with the Cult of Reason, which sought to elevate revolutionary civic and philosophical ideals in place of established religious authority.

For a time, one of Europe’s most celebrated Christian sanctuaries became a symbol of the effort to transform not only France’s government, but also its relationship with faith, history, and sacred tradition.

Yet the story of Notre-Dame’s biblical kings did not end with their destruction.

Nearly two centuries later, in 1977, workers excavating the courtyard of the Hôtel Moreau in Paris made a remarkable discovery. Beneath the ground lay medieval stone fragments, including 21 heads from the cathedral’s long-lost Gallery of Kings. The sculptures had survived underground for approximately 184 years, preserved through political upheavals, wars, and profound social transformations.

Today, these extraordinary remnants are housed at the Musée de Cluny, France’s National Museum of the Middle Ages, where visitors can encounter the faces of figures once condemned to destruction.

Their rediscovery offers a powerful historical image of endurance. The revolutionaries could tear down the statues, shatter their crowns, and transform the cathedral into a monument to a new political order, but they could not entirely erase the religious and cultural history those figures represented. What one generation sought to destroy, another would eventually recover.

For Christians reflecting on the endurance of faith through centuries of upheaval, the story also carries spiritual symbolism. Religious institutions may be challenged, sacred buildings damaged, and political movements determined to redefine a nation’s identity, yet the beliefs and historical memories associated with those institutions can endure beyond the governments and ideologies that seek to replace them.

The history of France itself reinforces that distinction. The Revolution profoundly disrupted Catholic life, but it did not permanently eliminate Christianity from the nation. In 1801, Napoleon Bonaparte reached an agreement with Pope Pius VII known as the Concordat, which helped restore formal relations between the French government and the Catholic Church and provided a framework for renewed public worship.

The arrangement recognized Catholicism as the religion of the great majority of French citizens while preserving important changes introduced during the Revolution. It did not restore the old monarchy or return France to its prerevolutionary religious order. Instead, it reflected a political acknowledgment that religious belief remained deeply embedded in French society.

The historical lesson extends beyond Napoleon’s political calculations. Even sweeping revolutions do not necessarily extinguish spiritual traditions that have shaped a civilization over centuries. Yet the survival of churches, religious institutions, and sacred architecture does not guarantee that faith will remain vibrant across successive generations. That depends, in part, on families, congregations, educators, and communities willing to transmit their convictions.

The buried kings of Notre-Dame do not establish that France is entering a new Christian revival. Their survival nevertheless reminds us that a civilization’s spiritual inheritance may remain part of its collective memory even after generations of political and cultural transformation.

  In the #1 bestseller Revelation 911, Pastor Paul Begley and Troy Anderson explore how the ancient prophecies of Revelation intersect with today’s wars, global upheaval, emerging technologies and rapidly changing world events—calling believers to watch, pray and remain spiritually prepared.

Friedrich von Schiller: The Power of Ideas—and the Different Paths of Revolution

For myself (investigative journalist and bestselling author Troy Anderson), the French Revolution carries a personal literary connection. As I recount on my official website, my grandmother, Trella Hope Schiller, encouraged me to follow in the footsteps of my great-grandfather-plus Friedrich von Schiller (1759–1805), the celebrated German poet and playwright whom Ranker.com lists as the 134th greatest writer of all time. His writings championed liberty, human dignity, and resistance to tyranny—ideals that helped shape my own literary journey.

Schiller’s groundbreaking drama The Robbers challenged arbitrary authority, while Don Carlos explored freedom of conscience. In 1792, revolutionary France honored him with honorary citizenship. Yet as the Revolution descended into the Reign of Terror, Schiller grew troubled by the violence carried out in liberty’s name. His later writings emphasized that genuine freedom requires moral character, education, and respect for human dignity.

The American and French Revolutions emerged from overlapping Enlightenment ideals but followed different historical paths. Schiller’s experience offers an enduring lesson: Ideas can inspire revolutions, but the moral choices of those who embrace them help determine whether the pursuit of freedom leads toward renewal—or destruction.

Discover how Schiller’s remarkable literary legacy inspired Troy Anderson’s journey as an investigative journalist and bestselling author.

The Battle Over France’s Political Future

France’s present unrest is unfolding against the backdrop of another consequential turning point: the presidential election scheduled for 2027. With President Emmanuel Macron’s second term approaching its conclusion, the country faces contentious debates over economic priorities, national sovereignty, public services, immigration, and the institutions that have long defined the French republic.

Among the prominent figures shaping these debates is Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the veteran left-wing leader associated with La France insoumise, or France Unbowed. Mélenchon has praised the student protest movement and criticized police responses, aligning himself with demonstrators demanding improvements to France’s educational system. Government officials, meanwhile, have accused some political leaders of exploiting or inflaming public anger. Such allegations remain politically contested, and support for peaceful demonstrations does not establish responsibility for violence committed by individual participants.

On the nationalist right, Marine Le Pen and her political allies have emphasized public order, immigration controls, national sovereignty, and concerns about France’s cultural direction. Their political arguments reflect a different interpretation of the country’s challenges, placing greater emphasis on security, integration, and the authority of the state.

Immigration and the role of Islam in French society remain particularly sensitive subjects within this broader national debate. France is home to a substantial and diverse Muslim population, and disagreements over religious expression, integration, and secularism have influenced public discourse for decades. Yet these questions cannot responsibly be reduced to the assumption that an entire religious community shares a single political agenda. France’s tradition of laïcité also protects freedom of conscience, even as citizens disagree over how secular principles should apply in schools, public institutions, and daily life.

The approaching election has intensified discussion about what it means to belong to the French republic and which institutions should unite its citizens. Economic uncertainty, dissatisfaction with public services, and political polarization have complicated efforts to build consensus across ideological and cultural divisions.

Ultimately, the challenge extends beyond any single politician, political party, religion, or election. It concerns the capacity of a diverse democratic society to maintain public trust, preserve religious freedom, uphold the rule of law, and sustain a shared civic identity amid profound disagreements about its future.

France’s historical experience offers a reminder that political transformation can reshape institutions, but the deeper questions of identity, belonging, and moral responsibility cannot be settled by electoral competition alone.

A Spiritual Awakening—or a Deeper Struggle?

For Christians observing the contrasting developments in France, the images of public worship, political demonstrations, and growing social divisions invite reflection on a broader question: What happens when a society’s inherited religious traditions no longer provide the same common framework for understanding identity, morality, and public life?

Across Europe, declining church attendance, changing patterns of religious affiliation, and the growing influence of secular institutions have prompted debate about Christianity’s future. Some observers regard these developments as part of the evolution of modern pluralistic democracies, where religious belief becomes increasingly a matter of personal conviction rather than inherited cultural identity. Others worry that the weakening of longstanding traditions may diminish a sense of shared purpose, leaving communities searching for new sources of meaning and belonging.

The emerging picture, however, is not uniform. Some Christian communities report renewed interest among younger adults, including growing participation in religious instruction, baptismal preparation, and spiritual exploration. Other congregations continue to experience declining attendance, aging memberships, and diminishing institutional influence. Europe’s religious future cannot be adequately described by a single narrative of either inevitable secular decline or an emerging continent-wide revival.

The relationship between secularization and social instability is also more complex than any single theological or historical explanation can capture. Economic inequality, political polarization, demographic change, institutional distrust, and the pressures facing younger generations all contribute to contemporary unrest. The student demonstrations in France, for example, have identifiable educational and economic grievances that should not be obscured by attempts to interpret them exclusively as a spiritual conflict.

For Christian believers, these distinctions raise an important question about the meaning of authentic revival. Large gatherings, historic ceremonies, and renewed public interest in Christianity may be encouraging, but they do not necessarily demonstrate lasting transformation. Genuine spiritual renewal would be reflected in sustained personal commitment, strengthened families and communities, acts of compassion and service, and a willingness to live according to the teachings of Christ.

The Apostle Paul expressed the importance of inward transformation in Romans 12:2:

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.” — Romans 12:2 (KJV)

For believers reflecting on France’s turbulent history, the passage offers a reminder that authentic Christian renewal begins not with political dominance, national prestige, or the preservation of magnificent religious monuments, but with the transformation of individual hearts and minds. Europe’s cathedrals testify to centuries of Christian artistic achievement and religious devotion, yet their continued existence cannot substitute for the living faith they were built to express.

Meanwhile, Europe’s political and cultural future is being shaped by transformations extending far beyond religion. Debates over migration, national sovereignty, artificial intelligence, digital surveillance, economic uncertainty, and democratic governance are challenging longstanding assumptions about the relationship between citizens and the state. These developments do not necessarily point toward a single predetermined political or prophetic outcome, but they suggest that questions of identity, meaning, moral responsibility, and spiritual belonging will remain important.

For Christians, the appropriate response is neither indifference nor the assumption that every international crisis signals the immediate fulfillment of biblical prophecy. Faithful watchfulness requires careful examination of events, humility in interpreting Scripture, prayer for wisdom, and constructive participation in society.

Jesus’ warning in Matthew 24:4 remains especially relevant:

“Take heed that no man deceive you.” — Matthew 24:4 (KJV)

In an era of rapidly circulating information and competing claims about the future, discernment requires both spiritual seriousness and a commitment to truth. It means examining Scripture in context, testing extraordinary claims against reliable evidence, and distinguishing genuine developments from speculation.

If Europe is entering a new spiritual chapter, its significance will ultimately be reflected not simply in political upheaval or extraordinary public gatherings, but in the enduring choices of individuals and communities seeking faith, purpose, and truth in a changing world.

• Unlock the mystery of biblical prophecy.
  The Babylon Code, a #1 bestseller from FaithWords/Hachette Book Group by Paul McGuire and Troy Anderson, uncovers startling connections between ancient prophecy, global events, and the forces shaping our future. Is the ancient mystery of Babylon unfolding before our eyes?

From the Kings of Judah to the Ten Kings Prophecy

The remarkable history of Notre-Dame’s beheaded biblical kings invites reflection on a question that has occupied theologians, historians, and students of biblical prophecy for centuries: What does Scripture reveal about the rise and fall of earthly kingdoms, the nature of political authority, and the relationship between human power and divine sovereignty?

The 28 kings represented on Notre-Dame’s medieval façade belonged to the biblical tradition of ancient Judah and the genealogy of Jesus Christ. They should not be confused with the mysterious Ten Kings described in the prophetic visions of Daniel and Revelation, which arise from a different biblical context and have generated centuries of theological debate.

Nevertheless, both subjects draw attention to a recurring biblical theme: earthly rulers and political systems may exercise extraordinary influence, but their authority remains limited within the broader scriptural understanding of history.

In Revelation 17:12, the Apostle John describes a vision of ten kings who receive authority for a limited period in association with the beast:

“And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.” — Revelation 17:12 (KJV)

The meaning of this passage has been interpreted differently throughout Christian history. Some scholars understand its symbolism primarily in relation to the Roman Empire and the political circumstances confronting the early Christian church. Others interpret the ten kings as representing future rulers, political alliances, or governing structures that will emerge in connection with events preceding Christ’s return. Still others emphasize the passage’s symbolic portrayal of political powers opposed to divine authority.

These enduring questions lie at the heart of Trump vs. the Beast: The Ten Kings Prophecy and the Bible’s Revelation of Coming Final Days (Humanix Books/Newsmax Media, October 6, 2026, the new book by Pastor Paul Begley and I. Examining prophetic passages from Daniel and Revelation alongside contemporary geopolitical developments, the book, the #1 “Best Seller” in “Prophecies” on Amazon, explores how artificial intelligence, digital financial systems, emerging technologies, shifting international alliances, and the concentration of political and economic power may influence the world in the years ahead.

The broader discussion invites readers to consider how ancient biblical warnings might inform Christian reflection on the extraordinary transformations taking place in modern society. The rapid development of artificial intelligence, expanding digital infrastructure, evolving financial technologies, and debates over national sovereignty raise questions about how authority is acquired, exercised, and constrained in an increasingly interconnected world.

These technologies also present opportunities and risks that deserve careful evaluation on their own merits. Artificial intelligence can support scientific discovery, education, and economic productivity while also creating challenges involving surveillance, accountability, misinformation, and concentrated power. Digital financial systems may improve efficiency and access while raising concerns about privacy, financial exclusion, and institutional oversight.

Such developments are significant subjects for public debate, but their existence does not establish the fulfillment of a particular biblical prophecy.

France’s contemporary political and cultural tensions likewise do not prove that the Ten Kings prophecy is being fulfilled, nor do they justify identifying particular political leaders, religious communities, or social movements with the figures described in Revelation. Such interpretations require careful attention to Scripture, historical context, and the distinction between documented events and theological speculation.

Nevertheless, the questions raised by Europe’s changing political and spiritual landscape resonate with the broader themes examined in Trump vs. the Beast: the nature of earthly power, the vulnerability of societies undergoing rapid transformation, and the importance of remaining spiritually discerning amid uncertainty.

For believers, biblical prophecy is not merely an invitation to speculate about future political arrangements. It also encourages reflection on the limits of human authority, the responsibilities of faithfulness, and the enduring conviction that ultimate sovereignty belongs to God.

From the fallen kings of ancient Judah to the symbolic kingdoms of Revelation, Scripture repeatedly confronts readers with the limitations of earthly power—and the deeper question of where lasting hope and authority reside.

The Kings Beneath the Streets

Nearly two centuries after revolutionaries tore down the biblical kings of Notre-Dame, their damaged faces emerged from beneath the streets of Paris, bearing silent witness to a chapter of French history that had nearly disappeared from public view. Preserved beneath the changing city, the medieval sculptures had survived revolutions, wars, shifting governments, and generations of cultural transformation. Their rediscovery offered an extraordinary reminder that the physical remnants of a civilization can endure long after the political movements that sought to destroy them have passed into history.

Today, Notre-Dame stands once again as one of Europe’s most recognizable symbols of Christian heritage, its restored architecture reflecting centuries of faith, artistic achievement, and national memory. Against that historical backdrop, the gathering of hundreds of thousands for Christian worship in September 2026 offered a striking image of religious continuity. Yet the demonstrations that followed revealed another dimension of contemporary France: younger generations frustrated with public institutions, political leaders confronting difficult economic choices, and a nation struggling to reconcile its inherited traditions with the demands of a changing world.

These contrasting scenes should not be mistaken for a simple confrontation between believers and unbelievers, Christianity and secularism, or one religious community and another. France’s reality is far more complex, shaped by centuries of religious influence, revolutionary transformation, democratic development, and evolving ideas about freedom and national identity. The deeper challenge is whether a society can preserve the wisdom of its historical inheritance while responding constructively to legitimate demands for justice, opportunity, and reform.

For Christians, the answer begins not with political conquest or the assumption that every crisis fulfills a particular prophecy, but with faithfulness, truth, humility, compassion, and hope. The preservation of Christian monuments, however magnificent, is not the same as the renewal of Christian life. That renewal must ultimately be expressed through the convictions and actions of individuals and communities willing to embody the teachings of Christ.

The stones of Notre-Dame have witnessed revolution, war, restoration, and renewal, while the recovered kings remind us that even profound upheaval cannot necessarily erase every connection to a civilization’s spiritual past. Their survival offers neither a prediction about France’s future nor a guarantee of religious revival, but a reminder that history is never simply a story of what has been destroyed. It is also a story of what can be remembered, recovered, and passed forward.

History may bury a nation’s spiritual inheritance, but each new generation must decide whether—and how—to bring it back into the light.

A Prayer for Spiritual Awakening, Discernment, and Salvation

Heavenly Father,

We lift up France, Europe, America, and the nations of the world before You. In this time of uncertainty and division, we pray for a renewed hunger for Your truth, a revival of faith, and a spiritual awakening that transforms hearts, families, communities, and nations.

Lord, where there is confusion, bring wisdom. Where there is darkness, shine Your light. Where there is hatred, restore love. Guide our leaders toward justice and integrity, strengthen Your Church, and give us the courage to stand for truth with humility, compassion, and unwavering faith.

As history reminds us of the consequences of pride, violence, and the misuse of power, teach us that true freedom begins with hearts transformed by Your grace.

Above all, draw those who do not yet know You into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, or if you desire to renew your commitment to Him, we invite you to pray:

Lord Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God, that You died for my sins, and that You rose again. I confess my sins and ask for Your forgiveness. I turn away from my old ways and surrender my life to You.

Come into my heart, renew my spirit, and lead me in Your truth. I receive You as my Lord and Savior. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and help me walk in faith, love, and obedience all the days of my life.

In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” — Romans 10:13 (KJV)

If you prayed this prayer sincerely, we encourage you to begin reading the Bible, spend time in prayer, and connect with a Bible-believing church where you can grow in your relationship with Jesus Christ.

What if the next major global crisis arrives not as a gradual economic downturn, but as an unexpected event that sends shock waves through financial markets, international alliances and governments?

As President Donald Trump warns that a Democratic victory in the November 3 midterm elections could trigger an economic depression resembling 1929, Christian prophetic commentators are describing what they believe could be extraordinary disruptions ahead.

Among them is Ryan Cunningham, co-host of the Christian finance and prophecy program Money on the Move, who recently shared a mysterious warning about an event he believes could profoundly shake the world.

“There’s an event that’s going to transpire that’s going to rock this world,” Cunningham said during his October 13, 2026 broadcast.

He urged viewers not to respond with fear, while acknowledging that he was withholding details of what he believed he had seen.

His remarks come amid concerns about economic instability, emerging technologies and the biblical prophecies found in Daniel and Revelation.

They also follow the October 6 release of Trump vs. the Beast: The Ten Kings Prophecy and the Bible’s Revelation of Coming Final Days, by Pastor Paul Begley and investigative journalist Troy Anderson, published by Humanix Books/Newsmax Media.

The book, the #1 “Best Seller” in “Prophecies” on Amazon, explores whether accelerating geopolitical, technological and financial transformations could become the Antichrist global totalitarian system described in biblical prophecy.

Are these developments connected in ways not yet understood—or are separate events being interpreted through a shared expectation of approaching chaos?

For Christians seeking to understand the times, the question calls for careful investigation, biblical discernment and faith rather than fear.

Trump’s Warning: Could America Face Another 1929?

In an October 3 video, President Trump warned that a Democratic victory in the upcoming congressional elections could have devastating economic consequences.

“If the Democrats win, you will have an economic depression much like 1929,” Trump declared.

The comparison invokes one of the darkest chapters in American economic history. The Wall Street crash of October 1929 helped usher in the Great Depression, marked by widespread unemployment, bank failures, collapsing businesses and severe hardship.

Yet today’s financial system differs significantly from that of nearly a century ago.

Federal deposit insurance, modern central banking mechanisms and expanded financial regulation provide protections that did not exist in 1929. Those safeguards cannot eliminate economic risk, but they complicate direct comparisons.

Trump’s statement is a political prediction rather than an established economic forecast. Any future downturn would depend on numerous factors, including monetary policy, credit conditions, consumer spending and geopolitical developments.

Nevertheless, his warning comes amid questions about government debt, household borrowing, housing affordability and the resilience of an interconnected global economy.

A major geopolitical shock could amplify existing vulnerabilities, particularly if it disrupted energy supplies, international trade or investor confidence.

That possibility provides a real-world backdrop to the prophetic warnings now circulating among Christian audiences.

Ryan Cunningham: The Mysterious Event That Could “Rock This World”

During an October 2026 episode of Money on the Move, Cunningham described what he believed was a spiritual impression concerning an approaching event of extraordinary magnitude.

At approximately 14 minutes and 22 seconds in the video, he indicated that he had seen something significant but was not prepared to disclose the details.

Cunningham suggested that the event, should it occur, might provoke retaliatory actions of exceptional proportions and potentially become a catalyst for financial-market disruption.

But his language remained conditional.

He did not identify the event, establish a date or provide independently verifiable evidence that it would happen. His remarks represented a personal prophetic impression, not a confirmed geopolitical development or documented financial forecast.

The broader broadcast addressed Russia, Ukraine, energy markets, inflation, cryptocurrencies and the approaching U.S. midterm elections—subjects that raise legitimate economic questions independent of Cunningham’s spiritual interpretation.

Could an unexpected international confrontation disrupt energy markets? Might retaliatory actions intensify inflation or trigger sudden volatility in financial assets?

The October 8 “Catalyst” Warning: What Ryan and Phil Actually Said

The wider Money on the Move discussion provides essential context.

Ryan and co-host Phil revisited prophetic messages they said had been received in 2025 and 2026, involving Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, potential retaliatory actions and financial-market turbulence.

At approximately 18 minutes, Phil read from a message Cunningham said he received on October 8, 2026. It referred to an undisclosed catalyst and used imagery of extraordinary disruption, including “shock and awe” and a “tsunami of sorts.”

Cunningham suggested that some details had not yet been revealed.

The hosts also discussed Bitcoin, XRP, XLM, the U.S. dollar and inflation, considering how geopolitical developments might affect financial markets.

Yet an important qualification emerged later in the conversation.

Phil cautioned against impulsively liquidating investments or making major financial decisions out of fear. The hosts expressed longer-term optimism about markets despite their concerns about possible turbulence.

They did not claim that an economic depression was inevitable or that they knew precisely when a disruptive event might occur.

A sudden market correction, an inflationary shock and a prolonged economic depression are fundamentally different outcomes. Nor do prophetic references to particular financial assets establish that those assets will appreciate or that a currency will collapse.

Brandon Biggs, Jim Bakker and the Timing of Trump vs. the Beast

Another development attracting attention among Christian prophecy audiences involves Pastor Paul Begley’s account of a conversation with prophetic commentator Brandon Biggs.

According to Begley, Biggs contacted him in July 2026 and shared predictions involving Christian broadcaster Jim Bakker, a devastating future pandemic and the emergence of the Antichrist.

Begley discussed the reported conversation during an October 8 broadcast featuring myself (Troy Anderson, co-founder of Revelation Watchers).

The account drew interest following Bakkers death on Monday, October 5, 2026, at age 86—one day before the release of Trump vs. the Beast.

Bakker, a televangelist who became embroiled in a world-famous scandal in the 1980s and was later imprisoned, became known over the last two decades for his remorse and repentance and The Jim Bakker Show in which he interviewed countless prophetic voices about the intersection of biblical prophecy and current events.

For some believers, the timing appears remarkable.

Biggs reportedly warned of a future pandemic originating in Russia that could claim approximately 350 million lives worldwide. That remains an unverified spiritual claim, not a scientific projection or established public-health threat.

The reported conversation also touched on the biblical “restrainer” described in 2 Thessalonians 2 and the emergence of the Antichrist.

Christian theologians have long debated the restrainer’s identity, with interpretations ranging from the Holy Spirit and the Church to governing authority or another divinely appointed restraint upon evil.

These questions intersect with Trump vs. the Beast, which investigates biblical prophecy, emerging technologies and the possibility of future concentrations of global power.

The book’s release amid these discussions offers an opportunity to examine contemporary events through the lens of the Bible—while recognizing that coincidence, interpretation and documented evidence are not interchangeable.

  In the #1 bestseller Revelation 911, Pastor Paul Begley and Troy Anderson explore how the ancient prophecies of Revelation intersect with today’s wars, global upheaval, emerging technologies and rapidly changing world events—calling believers to watch, pray and remain spiritually prepared.

JD Vance, the Antichrist and the Spiritual Questions Surrounding AI

Biblical prophecy has also entered the national political conversation.

During an August 31 interview with Christian podcaster Bryce Crawford, Vice President JD Vance discussed the End Times and the possibility that the Antichrist could already be alive.

Vance said he would not be shocked if the Antichrist were “walking among us,” while acknowledging uncertainty about prophetic timing and cautioning against excessive speculation.

The conversation also explored artificial intelligence and its implications for human relationships.

Vance expressed concern about uses of AI that could diminish authentic human connection or substitute technological interaction for meaningful relationships.

His remarks illustrate how biblical questions about the last days increasingly intersect with debates over technology, identity and society.

They also echo themes examined in Trump vs. the Beast, particularly the implications of emerging technologies for individual freedom and political power.

Vance did not identify anyone as the Antichrist or present a prophetic timetable.

His comments instead raise a broader question: How should Christians interpret biblical warnings without treating every political controversy or technological development as evidence of imminent fulfillment?

That question leads to one of Scripture’s most debated prophetic mysteries.

The Ten Kings: Daniel, Revelation and the Future of Global Power

At the center of Trump vs. the Beast is the prophecy of the Ten Kings.

Revelation 17 describes ten kings who receive authority for a limited period and give their power to the beast.

Daniel 7 presents a related vision involving ten horns emerging from a fourth beast, while Revelation 13 describes a system of authority connected with restrictions on economic participation, including the ability to buy and sell - the infamous “mark of the beast” or “666” economic system.

Together, these passages have inspired centuries of theological debate.

Some scholars interpret them primarily through the historical setting of the Roman Empire. Others understand them as symbolic descriptions of recurring political and religious oppression.

Futurist interpreters anticipate a still-future concentration of power, potentially involving a confederation of rulers who ultimately submit their authority to the Antichrist and the False Prophet.

Begley and Anderson explore how emerging technologies, geopolitical alliances and interconnected financial systems might relate to such a possibility.

Artificial intelligence, digital identification, financial surveillance and electronic payment infrastructure are especially relevant to contemporary debates about privacy, freedom and centralized authority.

These technologies can provide legitimate benefits. Their existence alone does not establish that a biblical beast system is emerging.

The more consequential questions concern their governance.

Who controls access? What safeguards protect individual rights? And what happens when extraordinary powers introduced during an emergency become permanent?

A severe economic disruption could intensify these debates, particularly if governments or financial institutions introduced new restrictions in response.

For Christians studying prophecy, the challenge is to examine such developments carefully without automatically identifying a particular government, corporation, currency or technology as the fulfillment of Revelation.

As 1 Thessalonians 5:21 instructs, believers are called to test everything and hold fast to what is good.

• HOPE BEYOND THIS LIFE | I’ve Been to Heaven, an ECPA Bestseller and AWSA Memoir of the Year, tells the extraordinary true story of Steve Boyls’ near-death experience, his wife Kathy’s prayer that brought him back, and the powerful message of hope they believe God gave them to share with the world. Masterfully written with Troy Anderson, this inspiring testimony offers hope beyond this life—and a reminder of the power of faith, prayer and God’s love.

Russia, Ukraine and the Geopolitical Risks Behind Market Anxiety

The Money on the Move broadcast also explored Russia, Ukraine and potential disruptions involving energy infrastructure.

Ryan and Phil suggested that some developments resembled themes from earlier prophetic messages. However, certain assertions about energy transactions, military motives and retaliatory actions were not independently substantiated in the supplied transcript.

Geopolitical conflicts can affect markets through well-understood mechanisms.

Disruptions to energy production and transportation influence oil and natural-gas prices. Sanctions and trade restrictions alter supply chains, while military escalation can undermine investor confidence.

Such effects can spread rapidly when financial markets are already sensitive to inflation, interest rates and government debt.

But establishing that a particular military decision was intended to influence an American election—or fulfills a specific prophetic warning—requires evidence beyond perceived parallels.

For Revelation Watchers readers, responsible investigation means distinguishing observable developments from interpretations about their hidden meaning.

A perceived pattern may warrant examination. It does not, by itself, prove a coordinated plan.

Financial Shaking Is Not Necessarily Economic Collapse

One useful distinction in the Money on the Move conversation concerns the difference between market turbulence and sustained economic depression.

Financial markets can experience sharp corrections without triggering widespread unemployment or prolonged economic contraction.

Likewise, rising stock prices do not necessarily mean households are becoming more prosperous.

Inflation can increase nominal asset values even as purchasing power declines. Markets may appear strong in dollar terms while families struggle with food prices, housing costs and borrowing expenses.

Whether an initial shock becomes something more serious depends on employment, credit availability, monetary policy, business investment and consumer confidence.

These distinctions matter when evaluating dramatic economic warnings.

Trump’s comparison with 1929, Cunningham’s undisclosed catalyst and historical market patterns are different forms of commentary. None establishes that a depression is approaching.

Preparedness should therefore rest on reliable information and sound financial principles rather than an assumed prophetic timetable.

What Does the Bible Say About a Great Shaking?

The imagery of shaking has deep roots in Scripture.

In Haggai 2, God speaks of shaking the heavens, the earth and the nations.

Hebrews 12:26–28 draws on that imagery, contrasting what can be shaken with the enduring kingdom of God.

Jesus also warned His disciples about wars, famines, earthquakes, persecution and deception. Yet in Matthew 24, He cautioned against alarm and emphasized endurance, watchfulness and faithfulness.

These passages have been interpreted differently across Christian traditions. They do not provide a simple formula for assigning modern events to a predetermined prophetic timetable.

Paul’s instruction in 1 Thessalonians 5:20–21 offers a relevant principle: believers should neither dismiss prophetic claims automatically nor accept them without examination.

Testing requires attention to Scripture, factual accuracy, accountability and the consequences of a message.

A warning that inspires prayer, compassion and responsible preparedness differs significantly from one that encourages panic or reckless decisions.

The biblical emphasis is not merely on anticipating disruption, but on remaining faithful when circumstances are uncertain.

From Fear to Faith: Preparing for an Uncertain Future

Perhaps the most constructive element of Cunningham and Phil’s broadcast was their repeated encouragement not to fear.

Whatever one makes of their prophetic impressions, the call for prayer, patience and restraint offers a more grounded response than panic.

For Christian families, spiritual preparedness begins with faith, repentance, prayer, discernment and a commitment to truth.

Practical resilience matters as well.

Households can review emergency plans, manage debt prudently, maintain savings where possible and seek trustworthy information about economic developments.

Churches and community organizations can strengthen their ability to assist vulnerable neighbors during periods of financial hardship.

Believers can also resist the temptation to abandon ordinary responsibilities whenever an alarming prediction circulates online.

Preparation should strengthen families and communities rather than isolate them. Spiritual watchfulness should deepen compassion, not diminish it.

These principles reflect the larger themes explored in Trump vs. the Beast: understanding the times, examining prophetic claims and maintaining hope amid uncertainty.

A Moment for Discernment—and Hope

What should readers make of Trump’s depression warning, Cunningham’s mysterious catalyst, Biggs’ reported predictions and the release of Trump vs. the Beast?

They are different kinds of statements and events.

Trump’s remarks are a political warning about possible economic consequences. Cunningham’s and Biggs’ statements are personal prophetic claims. Trump vs. the Beast presents an investigative and theological examination of contemporary developments through the lens of biblical prophecy.

The coming weeks could bring financial volatility, geopolitical surprises or developments few observers anticipated. They could also unfold without the dramatic events some commentators expect.

The future remains uncertain.

What we can control is how we respond.

We can seek reliable information, read the Bible, pray for our eaders and neighbors, prepare responsibly and remain compassionate toward those experiencing hardship.

Above all, we can approach extraordinary claims with openness and discernment—neither dismissing every warning nor embracing every prediction as certainty.

In a world filled with speculation about what may happen next, perhaps the most important question is not whether we can identify every future crisis.

It is whether they are prepared to remain faithful, discerning and hopeful—whatever tomorrow brings.

In light of this, we invite you to join us in our, “Trump vs. the Beast Save America Rescue Operation-40 Days of Prayer, Fasting and Repentance” before the November 3 midterm elections.

Watch the signs. Test everything. Hold fast to the truth.

Could a prophetic warning reportedly delivered months before Jim Bakker’s death point to something far more consequential unfolding in the spiritual realm? And could the mysterious restrainer described by the apostle Paul nearly two thousand years ago hold important clues to the political, technological and spiritual transformations reshaping our world?

Those questions took on renewed significance this week following a remarkable sequence of events involving Christian prophetic commentator Brandon Biggs, internationally known pastor and broadcaster Paul Begley, and myself (investigative journalist and bestselling author Troy Anderson), the cofounders of Revelation Watchers.

In a recent broadcast, Biggs declared that the beast system will no longer be held back, adding that “the restraining force is being lifted.” His warning referred to one of the New Testament’s most debated prophetic mysteries: the unidentified force described in 2 Thessalonians 2 as restraining the revelation of the man of lawlessness, whom many Bible scholars associate with the Antichrist.

But another aspect of Biggs’ account has attracted considerable attention. According to Biggs, he contacted Pastor Begley in July 2026 to share three warnings he believed he had received from God, including a prediction concerning Jim Bakker’s death, a possible major pandemic outbreak in Russia, and the emergence of what Biggs described as the biblical beast system, the rise of the Antichrist.

On October 5, Bakker died at age 86. The following day, October 6, our new book, Trump vs. the Beast: The Ten Kings Prophecy and the Bible’s Revelation of Coming Final Days, was released by Humanix Books/Newsmax Media.

Then, during his October 8 broadcast, Pastor Begley welcomed me to discuss Biggs’ reported July warning, Bakker’s death and the larger biblical questions surrounding the restrainer, the Antichrist and the Ten Kings prophecy.

The timing was especially noteworthy because these topics are central to the investigation presented in our newly released book, which examines ancient biblical prophecy alongside artificial intelligence, transhumanism, digital financial systems and the changing geopolitical order.

Yet the convergence of events raises questions that require careful examination. Can Biggs’ reported advance prediction be documented? What did he actually tell Begley in July? And does the Bible provide a basis for concluding that the mysterious restrainer is being lifted?

For Revelation Watchers, these questions are central to our mission of examining biblical prophecy, current events and emerging technologies through Scripture, investigative journalism and faith. We believe extraordinary claims deserve serious attention, but they must also be evaluated against the available evidence and the biblical text.

The July Phone Call: What Did Brandon Biggs Tell Pastor Begley?

Nearly three months before Jim Bakker’s death, prophetic commentator Brandon Biggs says he contacted Pastor Paul Begley to share several warnings he believed he had received from God. According to Biggs, he wanted someone outside his immediate ministry circle to document what he was saying before the events occurred. Among the warnings was a statement concerning Bakker, the longtime Christian television broadcaster whose ministry had become closely associated with biblical prophecy and preparations for the last days.

During a subsequent broadcast, Biggs recalled telling Begley, “Jim Baker is going to go home,” using a familiar Christian expression referring to death and the hope of entering eternity with Christ. Biggs said he asked Begley to write down the warning, but the pastor reportedly responded, “I’ll do better. I’ll record it.” According to Biggs, Begley also placed the call on speakerphone so his wife could hear the conversation.

The reported exchange gained renewed attention following Bakker’s death on October 5, 2026. During his October 8 broadcast, Begley welcomed me on his show to discuss the July conversation, Bakker’s passing and the larger prophetic questions surrounding these events.

Bakker’s death marked the passing of a consequential and controversial figure in American evangelical broadcasting. Alongside his former wife, Tammy Faye Bakker, he helped build the PTL ministry into a major Christian television enterprise before his career became engulfed in scandal, including a federal conviction and imprisonment. Following his release, Bakker returned to broadcasting, increasingly emphasizing biblical prophecy, national emergencies and the importance of spiritual and practical preparation for future crises. His longstanding interest in end-times events added another dimension to the attention surrounding Biggs’ reported warning.

Yet the significance of Biggs’ account extends beyond Bakker’s death. According to his subsequent remarks, the July conversation also involved warnings about a potentially devastating disease outbreak and the emergence of what he described as the biblical beast system. Biggs later elaborated on prophetic impressions involving laboratory activity, biological manipulation and a possible public-health emergency that he believes could accelerate a transition away from physical currency toward increasingly comprehensive digital financial systems.

Biggs has also acknowledged uncertainty concerning the timing of his predictions. Discussing an earlier expectation involving 2027, he conceded, “It looks like I missed the timing of the year.”

Nevertheless, Biggs maintains that a profound spiritual shift is underway. His most consequential assertion is not merely that he anticipated Bakker’s death, but that the mysterious restraining force described by the apostle Paul is being lifted, potentially allowing the emergence of the Antichrist and the system of authority associated with him in biblical prophecy.

That claim brings us to the central theological question underlying the controversy: Who—or what—is the restrainer described in 2 Thessalonians 2, and what does the Bible actually reveal about its removal?

The Biblical Restrainer: What Does 2 Thessalonians 2 Reveal?

The apostle Paul’s second letter to the Thessalonians contains one of the New Testament’s most mysterious teachings concerning the events preceding the return of Jesus Christ. Writing to believers who were troubled by claims that the day of the Lord had already arrived, Paul warned them against deception and explained that certain developments would occur before the events he was describing.

In 2 Thessalonians 2:1–12, Paul refers to a rebellion, or falling away, and the revelation of the man of lawlessness, a figure characterized by extraordinary arrogance, opposition to God and claims to spiritual authority. Many evangelical prophecy scholars identify this figure with the Antichrist, although Christian traditions differ in how they interpret the passage and its relationship to other prophetic texts.

What I find especially intriguing about Paul’s teaching is his reference to a mysterious restraining influence already operating during his lifetime. Although the “mystery of lawlessness” was active, something—or someone—was preventing its fuller manifestation. Paul explained that the lawless one would be revealed only after this restraint was removed, and that his appearance would occur at the appointed time.

The passage does not, however, culminate in the triumph of evil. In verse 8, Paul declares that Jesus Christ will ultimately destroy the lawless one at His appearing. Whatever the identity of the restrainer, Paul’s larger message is that lawlessness remains subject to divine limits and that its apparent victory will be temporary.

The difficulty for modern readers is that Paul never explicitly identifies the restrainer in the surviving letter. He indicates that the Thessalonian believers already understood what he meant, apparently because he had previously instructed them on the subject. Without a complete record of those earlier conversations, interpreters have proposed several explanations.

• Biblical prophecy meets today’s headlines.
  In the #1 bestseller Revelation 911, Pastor Paul Begley and Troy Anderson explore how the ancient prophecies of Revelation intersect with today’s wars, global upheaval, emerging technologies and rapidly changing world events—calling believers to watch, pray and remain spiritually prepared.

Who—or What—is the Restrainer?

One of the most influential interpretations within contemporary evangelical prophecy teaching identifies the restrainer with the Holy Spirit working through the church. According to this understanding, the presence of Spirit-filled believers exercises a restraining influence against evil, and the removal of that particular ministry may be associated with the rapture, when Christians are gathered to Christ. Advocates of this view generally distinguish the removal of a restraining function from the idea that the Holy Spirit would cease to be present or active on earth.

Another longstanding interpretation associates the restrainer with civil government and lawful political authority. Some early Christian writers, including Tertullian, understood the Roman Empire as a force preserving order and restraining the emergence of a final period of lawlessness. Modern variations of this view emphasize the role of institutions, laws and legitimate governmental authority in preventing the complete breakdown of society.

Other interpreters believe the restrainer may be an angelic being acting under God’s direction. Some have suggested Michael the archangel, who appears in Daniel 10 and 12 as a heavenly figure associated with God’s people. Although that connection is possible within a broader prophetic framework, Paul does not explicitly identify Michael in 2 Thessalonians 2.

A fourth approach places primary emphasis on God’s sovereignty over the timing of the man of lawlessness. From this perspective, the restrainer may represent God’s providential control exercised through means that the text does not fully explain.

These interpretations reveal why the identity of the restrainer has remained debated for centuries. Biggs identifies the restrainer with the church, making his warning particularly significant within the futurist framework he embraces. Yet his statement raises several questions that I believe deserve closer examination.

Does he believe the church is approaching the rapture? Is he suggesting that its spiritual influence is weakening? Or does he mean that God is permitting a greater manifestation of lawlessness while Christians remain on earth?

Those possibilities carry different theological implications. More importantly, 2 Thessalonians does not identify Bakker’s death, a contemporary political event or any modern prophetic declaration as proof that the restrainer has been removed.

I believe Paul’s warning deserves serious study, particularly in a world experiencing profound changes in political authority, technology and culture. But studying the passage carefully also requires acknowledging what Scripture does not explicitly reveal.

• What if Heaven is more real than we imagine?
  I’ve Been to Heaven, an ECPA Bestseller and AWSA Memoir of the Year, tells the extraordinary true story of Steve Boyls’ near-death experience, his wife Kathy’s prayer that brought him back, and the powerful message of hope they believe God gave them to share with the world. Written with Troy Anderson, this inspiring testimony offers hope beyond this life—and a reminder of the power of faith, prayer and God’s love.

The Antichrist, the Ten Kings and the Rise of the Beast

One of the central reasons Pastor Begley and I wrote Trump vs. the Beast, the #1 “Hot New Release” in “Prophecies” on Amazon, was to investigate the relationship between ancient biblical prophecies and the extraordinary political, economic and technological transformations occurring in the modern world. Among the most intriguing passages are the visions of Daniel and Revelation concerning powerful kingdoms, a ruler who opposes God and a mysterious coalition of ten kings.

In Daniel 7, the prophet describes four beasts representing kingdoms, culminating in a fourth beast possessing ten horns. From among these horns emerges another, associated with arrogance, persecution and opposition to the people of God. Daniel 7:24 identifies the ten horns as ten kings arising from a kingdom, introducing imagery that has fascinated interpreters for centuries.

The Book of Revelation presents a striking parallel. In Revelation 17:12–13, the apostle John describes ten kings who receive authority for a limited period and share a common purpose in giving their power to the beast. Many futurist evangelical scholars understand these passages as describing a future coalition of rulers whose authority eventually becomes concentrated under a dominant figure associated with the Antichrist.

Other Christian traditions interpret substantial portions of these visions in relation to ancient empires, Roman imperial authority or recurring patterns of political oppression. The biblical texts themselves do not identify ten contemporary nations, corporations, international institutions or political leaders as the fulfillment of the prophecy.

Nevertheless, as I examine the modern geopolitical landscape, I find the imagery raises a question that has become increasingly relevant in an interconnected world: Could a future international crisis lead governments and powerful institutions to consolidate authority in ways that previous generations could scarcely have imagined?

Today’s political and economic landscape is characterized by networks of financial institutions, multinational corporations, military alliances and technological systems whose decisions can influence societies across national boundaries. A financial crisis in one region can rapidly affect markets around the world, while decisions involving monetary policy, international security or critical digital infrastructure can produce consequences for millions of people far removed from the institutions making them.

Artificial intelligence is adding another dimension to these developments by transforming how information is collected, analyzed and used to support decisions. The ability to coordinate vast amounts of data across financial, commercial and governmental systems creates opportunities for efficiency and innovation, but also raises concerns about concentrated power, accountability and individual freedom.

I do not believe these developments, by themselves, prove that the Ten Kings have emerged or that a present international organization represents the biblical beast. They do, however, provide a contemporary setting in which the questions raised by Daniel and Revelation deserve thoughtful consideration.

And perhaps nowhere is the intersection of prophecy and modern technology more striking than in Revelation 13, where political and religious allegiance becomes connected to the ability to participate in economic life.

• What if history is hiding a code?
  In the #1 bestseller The Trump Code, investigative journalist and six-time #1 Amazon and ECPA Bestsellers author Troy Anderson explores the extraordinary connections surrounding Nikola Tesla, time travel, the Trump family lineage and America’s future—following a trail of historical mysteries and remarkable coincidences that raises provocative questions about the past, present and what may lie ahead.

Revelation 13: Artificial Intelligence, Digital Money and Economic Control

Among the most unsettling passages in biblical prophecy is Revelation 13:16–17, where John describes a mark associated with the right hand or forehead and a system in which those without the mark are unable to buy or sell.

For centuries, Christians have debated whether this imagery anticipates a literal future mechanism of economic control, symbolizes allegiance to powers opposed to God or reflects the pressures experienced by early believers under Roman imperial rule. Within many futurist interpretations, the passage points toward a coming system in which political and religious loyalty becomes a condition for participating in ordinary commerce.

What makes this discussion especially compelling to me today is the remarkable speed at which emerging technologies are transforming identification, financial transactions, surveillance and institutional decision-making.

Artificial intelligence can analyze enormous quantities of information and support automated decisions affecting individuals and organizations. Biometric systems can authenticate identity through facial recognition, fingerprints and other physical characteristics. Digital payment networks can move money across borders almost instantaneously, while sophisticated surveillance technologies can collect and connect information at a scale that earlier generations could scarcely have imagined.

These developments offer significant benefits, including improved security, fraud prevention, medical innovation and greater efficiency. But their growing integration also creates vulnerabilities, particularly when powerful institutions exercise control without sufficient transparency, accountability or legal safeguards.

Consider a hypothetical system in which digital identification, financial accounts, personal information and automated enforcement mechanisms become closely interconnected. Under accountable institutions, such infrastructure might provide convenience and security. Under authoritarian control, similar capabilities could potentially be used to monitor dissent, restrict transactions or exclude individuals from essential services.

From my perspective, the question is not whether technology itself is inherently evil. It is whether societies can preserve human dignity, freedom of conscience and meaningful protections against abuses of power as technological systems become increasingly sophisticated.

Brandon Biggs’ Warning About a Cashless Future

In his recent broadcast, Biggs described a possible sequence of events in which a major public-health emergency could discourage the use of physical currency and accelerate the adoption of electronic payments. He suggested that this transition might eventually extend from smartphones to wearable devices and potentially implanted identification or payment technologies.

Biggs connects that scenario with the mark of the beast described in Revelation 13. His interpretation reflects a concern shared by some contemporary prophecy commentators that the technological foundations for a future system of economic control could be developing long before its ultimate purpose becomes apparent.

Yet I believe important distinctions must be maintained. Electronic payment platforms, cryptocurrencies, commercial bank deposits and central bank digital currencies operate through different technological and institutional arrangements. The growth of digital finance does not necessarily require implanted devices, universal surveillance or the elimination of physical currency.

More importantly, Revelation associates the mark with the beast’s identity and a larger system of worship and allegiance. The passage does not explicitly identify smartphones, biometric identification, artificial intelligence or any existing digital currency as the mark of the beast.

I believe Christians should be particularly careful not to confuse technological possibility with demonstrated prophetic fulfillment. The fact that a technology could potentially be used to restrict financial transactions does not establish that it was created for the purpose described in Revelation.

At the same time, the growing dependence of modern societies on digital infrastructure raises legitimate concerns. Who controls access to essential financial services? What protections exist against arbitrary exclusion? Can individuals challenge automated decisions that affect their livelihoods? And how can governments and private institutions be held accountable when the technologies they administer become increasingly complex?

These are questions with profound implications regardless of one’s interpretation of biblical prophecy. They are also among the issues Pastor Begley and I explore in Trump vs. the Beast, particularly as artificial intelligence, digital identity and emerging financial technologies reshape the relationship between individuals and institutions.

America at a Crossroads: The 2026 Midterm Elections

These questions have taken on added significance as the United States approaches the November 3, 2026, midterm elections, which will determine the composition of the next Congress and influence the remainder of President Donald Trump’s current term.

Debates over national sovereignty, religious liberty, financial regulation, surveillance and the role of artificial intelligence in government are becoming increasingly important as policymakers confront the opportunities and risks associated with rapidly advancing technologies.

Within some Christian prophecy circles, speculation has emerged about whether changes in political leadership could accelerate trends associated with centralized international authority. But as I examine these developments, I believe political forecasts must be distinguished from biblical predictions. Neither Daniel nor Revelation identifies the Democratic Party, the Republican Party or the outcome of the 2026 midterm elections as the event that brings the Antichrist to power.

A change in congressional control could have significant consequences for legislation, federal oversight and public policy. It would not, by itself, establish the fulfillment of an end-times prophecy. Likewise, international cooperation is not inherently equivalent to authoritarian global government.

For me, the more consequential questions concern the policies and institutions that will shape America’s future. How will emerging technologies affect constitutional freedoms, financial privacy and religious liberty? What safeguards will prevent abuses of surveillance and automated decision-making? And how can citizens evaluate these developments without allowing political loyalties to substitute for careful analysis?

Yet beyond the political questions lies an issue I believe is even more important: the spiritual condition of America and the possibility of renewed faith during a period of extraordinary uncertainty.

Billy Graham, Nineveh and the Hope of Spiritual Awakening

For myself, the biblical account of Nineveh holds particular significance. In 2013, I interviewed legendary evangelist Billy Graham about America’s spiritual condition and the lessons of Jonah’s warning to the ancient Assyrian city. That conversation helped shape my continuing investigation into biblical prophecy, national repentance and the possibility of spiritual awakening, themes that would later contribute to my involvement in The Return, the national gathering for prayer and repentance held on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., in September 2020.

The story of Nineveh, recorded in Jonah 3, offers a powerful reminder that prophetic warnings need not lead to despair. According to the Bible, God sent Jonah to warn the ancient city that judgment was approaching. Rather than dismissing the message, the people believed God, proclaimed a fast and turned toward repentance. Even the king humbled himself, calling upon the population to abandon evil and violence. When God saw their response, the biblical account tells us, He withheld the announced destruction, demonstrating the profound relationship between prophetic warning, human repentance and divine mercy.

For myself, the account has remained especially meaningful because it reveals a dimension of biblical prophecy that can easily be overshadowed by predictions of catastrophe. A warning about the future is not necessarily an announcement that hope has ended. It can also serve as an invitation to examine one’s life, turn away from wrongdoing and seek God. That understanding helped inform my involvement in The Return, which brought together Christian leaders and believers during a period of political division, the COVID-19 pandemic and widespread uncertainty about America’s future.

Six years later, Pastor Begley and I are returning to these themes through our “Trump vs. the Beast Save America Rescue Operation — 40 Days of Prayer, Fasting and Repentance.” The initiative reflects a conviction shared by us that Christians should respond to extraordinary events not merely by analyzing headlines or attempting to identify the fulfillment of prophecy, but by seeking God through prayer, humility, repentance and renewed commitment to biblical faith.

Even Brandon Biggs’ recent broadcast, despite its dramatic warnings, included an appeal for spiritual renewal. Biggs suggested that difficult circumstances could encourage people to return to church, take their faith more seriously and seek a deeper relationship with God. Whether his specific predictions will unfold remains uncertain, but the spiritual questions they raise extend far beyond any individual prophetic claim. They concern how believers should respond to fear, political division, technological disruption and the challenges of an increasingly uncertain world.

For Revelation Watchers, the lesson of Nineveh remains as relevant today as it was in the ancient world. Prophetic warnings should not merely provoke anxiety about what may happen tomorrow; they should encourage reflection on how we live today, how we treat others and whether our priorities reflect the faith we profess. Whatever uncertainties lie ahead, the biblical call to repentance, spiritual discernment and renewed faith offers a message of hope that transcends political circumstances and prophetic speculation.

Why Trump vs. the Beast Matters Now

When we began researching and writing Trump vs. the Beast: The Ten Kings Prophecy and the Bible’s Revelation of Coming Final Days, our purpose was to investigate the extraordinary intersection of ancient biblical prophecy and the political, economic and technological changes transforming modern civilization. The mysterious Ten Kings, the Antichrist, artificial intelligence, transhumanism, digital financial systems and the future of America may appear to be separate subjects, but they raise interconnected questions about the nature of power, the preservation of freedom, the meaning of human identity and the responsibilities of faith in an increasingly complex world.

Our investigation draws upon Pastor Paul Begley’s decades of experience as a Christian pastor, broadcaster and commentator on biblical prophecy, together with my background in investigative journalism and bestselling nonfiction. Through our work as cofounders of Revelation Watchers, we have sought to bring these perspectives together, examining the relationship between Scripture, history, geopolitics and emerging technologies while encouraging readers to consider how ancient prophetic texts might inform their understanding of the modern world.

Featuring forewords by actor and filmmaker Kevin Sorbo and prophetic commentator Joseph Z, our newly released book invites readers to examine the biblical passages, consider the available evidence and reflect on the challenges facing Christians in an era of rapid technological advancement and geopolitical uncertainty. Its October 6 publication, coming just one day after Jim Bakker’s death and shortly before our October 8 discussion of Brandon Biggs’ reported warning, has brought renewed attention to many of the subjects explored in its pages. Yet the importance of this investigation does not depend on establishing that a particular prophetic timetable has begun or that any contemporary prediction has been conclusively fulfilled.

When we established Revelation Watchers, our vision was to create a platform dedicated to investigating biblical prophecy, breaking news, geopolitics, emerging technologies and extraordinary events shaping our world through Scripture, investigative journalism and faith. We recognize that Christians hold differing interpretations of the prophetic passages discussed in this article, and we believe those differences deserve thoughtful consideration. Not every political development, technological innovation or contemporary prophetic claim should automatically be regarded as a fulfillment of Scripture. At the same time, the remarkable changes taking place around us provide compelling reasons to examine the Bible’s prophetic teachings with renewed seriousness and discernment.

The apostle Paul’s instruction in 1 Thessalonians 5:20–21 offers an enduring foundation for this work, urging believers not to despise prophecies, but to test everything and hold fast to what is good. In an age when dramatic predictions and alarming headlines can spread around the world within minutes, that counsel is particularly relevant. We believe Christians can take biblical prophecy seriously while carefully evaluating extraordinary claims, distinguishing documented events from speculation and considering the implications of emerging technologies without assuming that every new development represents the fulfillment of Revelation.

Above all, we believe the Bible’s prophetic message is ultimately one of hope rather than fear. Daniel’s visions point toward God’s everlasting kingdom, Revelation portrays the Lamb overcoming the powers opposed to Him, and Paul’s account of the man of lawlessness culminates in the victory of Jesus Christ. Whatever uncertainties may lie ahead, our confidence does not rest in political leaders, technological systems or the predictions of any individual prophetic voice, but in the promises of Scripture and the sovereignty of God.

As we reflect on Brandon Biggs’ warning, Jim Bakker’s death, the extraordinary timing of our book’s release and the profound transformations reshaping our world, we believe the most important question is not simply whether we can recognize the signs of the times. It is whether we will respond to these developments with wisdom, courage, humility and faith. Through Trump vs. the Beast and our continuing work at Revelation Watchers, we invite readers to join us in examining the evidence, studying the Scriptures and seeking a deeper understanding of the times in which we live.

Watch the signs. Test everything. Hold fast to the truth.

Why Trump vs. the Beast—and Why Now?

Our world is undergoing extraordinary spiritual, technological and geopolitical change.

Artificial intelligence is advancing at breathtaking speed. Global power structures are shifting. Emerging technologies are challenging long-held ideas about what it means to be human. Nations are confronting war, economic uncertainty and deep political division.

Against this backdrop, Trump vs. the Beast (Humanix Books/Newsmax Media) asks a provocative question:

Are the prophetic pieces described in the Book of Revelation beginning to move into place?

In the book, we investigate the mysterious Ten Kings prophecy of Revelation, the rise of artificial intelligence and transhumanism, emerging systems of global power and control, whether the Antichrist is already “walking among us,” as Vice President JD Vance recently asked, spiritual warfare, and the biblical signs Christians have watched for generations.

Featuring forewords by Kevin Sorbo and Joseph Z, the book examines ancient biblical prophecy alongside modern geopolitics and emerging technology—and challenges believers to consider how the Bible calls us to respond.

Our purpose isn’t to create fear.

It is to encourage discernment, spiritual preparedness, prayer—and hope.

The nuclear shadow hanging over Europe grew darker this week as Russian President Vladimir Putin issued another stark warning to the West, raising fears that the confrontation between Russia and NATO could enter an even more dangerous phase. During their latest Thursday broadcast, Revelation Watchers co-founder Pastor Paul Begley and geopolitical commentator Mike From Around the World examined the warning against the backdrop of the continuing war in Ukraine, accelerating military technology and the growing role of artificial intelligence on the modern battlefield.

Begley repeatedly returned to Putin’s declaration that the world is passing through a “dangerous moment,” focusing particular attention on Kaliningrad, Russia’s strategically important Baltic exclave situated between NATO members Poland and Lithuania. With tensions already elevated along NATO’s eastern flank, Begley raised the possibility that a confrontation involving Kaliningrad could become a flashpoint for a much wider conflict—and asked whether the mounting pressure surrounding Russia could one day intersect with the larger geopolitical events described by the biblical prophets.

“This is a dangerous time,” Begley told his audience before bringing Mike From Around the World into the conversation. His concern was rooted not merely in speculation circulating online, but in Putin’s own increasingly forceful warnings about what Russia considers a direct threat to its territory.

Speaking at the Valdai Forum on October 1, Putin warned Western nations against further escalation and specifically addressed the possibility of an attack on Russian territory, including Kaliningrad. Moscow has also warned NATO that an attempt to isolate the territory could provoke a response involving Russia’s full military arsenal, including nuclear weapons. NATO, for its part, has rejected claims that it poses a threat to Kaliningrad, described its activities in the region as defensive and condemned Russia’s nuclear rhetoric.

For students of Bible prophecy, however, the significance of this moment extends beyond a single statement from the Kremlin or even the immediate confrontation between Russia and NATO. The larger question is whether several developments once considered separately—wars and rumors of wars, nuclear confrontation, artificial intelligence, autonomous weapons, expanding digital surveillance and increasingly sophisticated systems of economic and technological control—are beginning to converge in ways that deserve closer attention.

That does not mean every geopolitical crisis should be declared a fulfillment of prophecy. It does mean that Christians have reason to watch these developments carefully, examine them in light of Scripture and ask how believers should respond to a world changing with extraordinary speed.

Putin Draws a Nuclear Red Line Around Kaliningrad

Kaliningrad may be relatively small, but its strategic importance far exceeds its size. Situated on the Baltic Sea between NATO members Poland and Lithuania, the Russian exclave is geographically separated from mainland Russia and heavily militarized, hosting significant Russian military assets, including nuclear-capable Iskander missile systems. Moscow has claimed that NATO could attempt to isolate or blockade the territory, while NATO has rejected those allegations, insisting that its activities in the region are defensive and pose no threat to Russian territory.

Against that already tense backdrop, Putin sharpened his warning on Thursday. Although he said Russia had no intention of attacking European countries and wanted peaceful coexistence, he made clear that Moscow considers Kaliningrad Russian territory that it is prepared to defend with the full range of weapons at its disposal. If Russia were subjected to a direct attack—including an attack on Kaliningrad—the question of employing “all the weapons” available to Moscow would, he said, immediately arise.

The danger in such a confrontation lies not simply in what Moscow or NATO says it intends to do, but in how each side interprets the actions of the other. Military exercises intended as deterrence can be perceived as preparations for attack; defensive deployments can provoke counter-deployments; increasingly forceful rhetoric can narrow the space for diplomacy. As forces operate in closer proximity and decision-making time shrinks, the risk grows that a misunderstanding, miscalculation or unintended escalation could set events in motion that neither side originally sought.

Putin himself acknowledged that danger at the Valdai Forum, warning that an escalating cycle of increasingly severe retaliatory measures could eventually reach what he described as a “fatal point of no return.” NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, meanwhile, said the alliance sees no imminent threat to NATO territory and responded to Moscow’s warning by reiterating NATO’s defensive posture and rejecting nuclear threats.

It was this combination of nuclear rhetoric, strategic vulnerability and the possibility of miscalculation that caught Begley’s attention. Throughout Thursday’s broadcast, he returned to Putin’s warning that the world is passing through a dangerous moment and questioned why Kaliningrad had suddenly become the focus of such explicit language from Moscow.

To explore what might lie behind the warning—and where the confrontation could lead—Begley turned to his longtime Thursday-night guest, Mike From Around the World.

• Ancient prophecy. Global power. A world in transformation.
  In Trump vs. the Beast, the #1 “Hot New Release” in “Prophecies,” Pastor Paul Begley and Troy Anderson investigate the Ten Kings prophecy, artificial intelligence, the rise of technocratic systems, and the biblical warnings surrounding the coming final days. Releases October 6, 2026 from Humanix Books/Newsmax Media.

Mike From Around the World: “Putin Is Quite Serious”

When Mike From Around the World joined the broadcast, Begley went directly to the growing confrontation over Kaliningrad. After recounting Putin’s warning, he asked Mike how seriously the Russian president’s words should be taken and what might be driving Moscow to draw such a sharp line around the strategically important territory.

Mike’s answer was unequivocal: “Putin is quite serious.”

In Mike’s assessment, the Russian leader recognizes not only the conventional military pressure surrounding his country, but also a technological transformation that is rapidly changing the nature of warfare. From there, the conversation moved beyond traditional calculations of troops, missiles and territorial defenses to a force that Mike believes will increasingly shape the outcome of future conflicts: artificial intelligence.

“We’re talking about government AI,” Mike told Begley. “We’re talking about AI tied to weaponry.”

Mike argued that AI is becoming deeply integrated into military command-and-control systems and described the war in Ukraine as an important testing ground for increasingly sophisticated weapons, drones and automated battlefield technologies. In his view, the significance of this transformation goes far beyond individual weapons systems; it points toward a future in which vast networks of sensors, aircraft, missiles, drones and other military assets could increasingly be coordinated with the assistance of artificial intelligence.

Some of Mike’s more specific assertions during the broadcast represent his own geopolitical and technological analysis and should be understood in that context. Yet the broader transformation he described is already visible. Militaries around the world are investing heavily in artificial intelligence, autonomous systems and unmanned warfare as they seek to process battlefield information more quickly, identify threats more accurately and shorten the time between detection and response.

The U.S. military’s January 2026 artificial-intelligence strategy calls for accelerating AI integration across warfighting, intelligence and other military missions, including AI-enabled battle management, decision support and what the strategy describes as “kill chain execution.” At the same time, the war in Ukraine has become an extraordinary proving ground for drone warfare and other unmanned technologies, with American military planners studying lessons from Ukrainian forces and incorporating them into U.S. training and battlefield doctrine.

What makes this transformation so consequential is not simply the arrival of smarter drones or more sophisticated weapons. As artificial intelligence becomes more deeply embedded in military decision-making, the time available for human beings to interpret threats and decide how to respond may continue to shrink. In a confrontation involving NATO and a nuclear-armed Russia, that raises a sobering question that reaches far beyond the war in Ukraine: What happens when the speed of warfare begins to exceed the speed of human judgment?

• Biblical prophecy meets today’s headlines.
  In the #1 bestseller Revelation 911, Pastor Paul Begley and Troy Anderson explore how the ancient prophecies of Revelation intersect with today’s wars, global upheaval, emerging technologies and rapidly changing world events—calling believers to watch, pray and remain spiritually prepared.

When Machines Enter the Kill Chain

For generations, one of the safeguards against the nightmare of nuclear war has been the presence of human beings at critical points in the decision-making process. Presidents, military commanders and officers must evaluate intelligence, communicate with one another, assess whether a perceived threat is genuine and ultimately decide how—or whether—to respond. Artificial intelligence has the potential to alter that equation by dramatically accelerating the speed at which information is gathered, interpreted and acted upon.

AI systems can process enormous quantities of data far faster than human analysts, drawing information from satellites, radar, battlefield sensors and other sources to identify potential targets, recognize patterns and help commanders make decisions. Used responsibly, such capabilities could improve situational awareness, strengthen defenses and even save lives. Yet the same speed that makes artificial intelligence so valuable in warfare could also compress the amount of time available for human deliberation during a rapidly developing crisis.

Consider what could happen in a future confrontation in which autonomous drones, AI-assisted targeting systems, missile defenses, cyberwarfare platforms and conventional or nuclear forces are operating simultaneously. A computer system might identify what appears to be an incoming threat while another analyzes possible responses and still another detects military movements that its algorithms interpret as hostile. The central concern is not necessarily the science-fiction scenario of a machine independently “deciding” to start World War III, but something more plausible: governments becoming increasingly dependent upon automated systems that operate so rapidly that human decision-makers have less time to determine whether the information before them is accurate, incomplete—or dangerously wrong.

That possibility becomes especially consequential when nuclear-armed powers are involved. A false warning, misidentified target, cyberattack, corrupted data stream or incorrect algorithmic assessment could place extraordinary pressure on leaders who may have only minutes to determine whether an attack is actually underway. The faster warfare becomes, the more important the question of meaningful human judgment becomes, particularly when a mistaken decision could produce consequences that cannot be reversed.

For students of Bible prophecy, these developments also raise questions that extend beyond military strategy. Scripture describes a future world in which extraordinary political power, economic control and a mysterious “image” capable of speaking become intertwined in Revelation 13. Begley turned directly to that chapter during Thursday’s broadcast, asking his audience to consider what ancient prophecy might look like in an age when machines can already see, speak, analyze human behavior and increasingly participate in decisions once reserved exclusively for people.

• What if Heaven is more real than we imagine?
  I’ve Been to Heaven, an ECPA Bestseller and AWSA Memoir of the Year, tells the extraordinary true story of Steve Boyls’ near-death experience, his wife Kathy’s prayer that brought him back, and the powerful message of hope they believe God gave them to share with the world. Written with Troy Anderson, this inspiring testimony offers hope beyond this life—and a reminder of the power of faith, prayer and God’s love.

Begley Turns to Revelation 13

Before Mike joined the broadcast, Begley opened his Bible to one of Scripture’s most mysterious and sobering prophetic chapters: Revelation 13. The passage describes the rise of the Beast, followed by a second beast commonly associated in Christian eschatology with the False Prophet, who exercises extraordinary authority, causes an image of the Beast to speak and ultimately enforces a system in which the ability to participate in commerce becomes conditional upon receiving the mark of the Beast.

Begley read from the passage describing the moment when “no man might buy or sell” without the mark, then focused on another remarkable detail: the image of the Beast is given the ability to speak. Looking at that prophecy through the technological landscape emerging today, Begley suggested that artificial intelligence offers a striking modern parallel to something that would have been almost impossible for previous generations to envision—a created image capable of communicating, interacting and exercising influence.

His interpretation raises an intriguing question, but also one that requires biblical caution. Revelation does not identify artificial intelligence as the Mark of the Beast, nor does Scripture specifically name facial recognition, digital currencies, biometric identification, algorithms, smartphones or computer networks as prophetic fulfillments. Christians have debated the meaning and eventual fulfillment of Revelation 13 for nearly two thousand years, and technological developments should not be forced into biblical passages simply because they appear new or unsettling.

What has changed, however, is the technological environment in which these ancient prophecies are being read. Humanity is now developing interconnected systems capable of identifying people on a vast scale, authenticating identity, analyzing behavior, monitoring financial transactions and potentially determining who may gain access to particular services or economic networks. Artificial intelligence adds another dimension by allowing machines to recognize images, generate speech, communicate with people and make increasingly sophisticated assessments based on enormous quantities of data.

None of this proves that today’s technologies constitute the system described in Revelation 13. It does, however, make aspects of the prophecy technologically conceivable in a way that would have been difficult for earlier generations to imagine. A future system capable of linking identity, commerce, surveillance and centralized authority no longer belongs solely to the realm of speculation; many of its underlying technological components already exist, even though how—or whether—they might ultimately relate to biblical prophecy remains an open question.

For that reason, prophecy should produce discernment rather than sensationalism. The task of the watchman is not to force every technological breakthrough into a prophetic timetable, but neither is it to ignore developments that could reshape the relationship between governments, technology, money and individual freedom. Revelation calls believers to remain spiritually alert, and the extraordinary transformation now taking place around us gives new urgency to that ancient command.

Trump vs. the Beast: Investigating the Convergence

The convergence of prophecy, technology and geopolitical upheaval explored during Thursday’s broadcast lies at the heart of the investigation Pastor Begley and I undertook in our new book, Trump vs. the Beast: The Ten Kings Prophecy and the Bible’s Revelation of Coming Final Days. Throughout our research, we returned to a fundamental question: What happens when ancient biblical prophecies about global power and control begin to intersect with artificial intelligence, digital surveillance, geopolitical realignment and technologies capable of influencing human activity on a scale previous generations could scarcely have imagined?

In Trump vs. the Beast, we investigate the mysterious Ten Kings prophecy, biblical descriptions of the rise of the Antichrist, the prophetic significance of Israel and Jerusalem, the extraordinary expansion of artificial intelligence and the emergence of increasingly sophisticated technocratic systems. We also examine the struggle over national sovereignty and the possibility that technologies originally developed for convenience, security, commerce or defense could eventually become components of much larger systems of political and economic control.

The point is not that Christians should fear technology or regard every technological advance as evidence of prophetic fulfillment. Technology itself is a tool, capable of extraordinary good as well as profound misuse. The more consequential question is who controls these systems, how they are used and what happens when immense technological power becomes concentrated in institutions capable of influencing identity, information, commerce, surveillance and human freedom.

Seen from that perspective, Thursday’s discussion about Putin and artificial intelligence is not disconnected from the broader questions we examine in the book. Russia’s nuclear confrontation with the West, the transformation of warfare in Ukraine, the military application of artificial intelligence, the expansion of digital surveillance and the continuing evolution of money and financial systems each have their own political, economic and technological explanations. Yet taken together, they illustrate how rapidly systems of military, governmental, technological and economic power are changing—and how increasingly interconnected they are becoming.

Bible prophecy invites believers to look beyond any single headline and consider the larger trajectory of history. The question is not whether every development unfolding today fulfills a particular verse of Scripture, but whether technologies and institutions now emerging separately could eventually converge into systems possessing capabilities that earlier generations would have found almost impossible to imagine. That possibility is one of the central questions at the heart of Trump vs. the Beast—and one reason the events unfolding around us deserve careful, prayerful attention.

• What if history is hiding a code?
  In the #1 bestseller The Trump Code, investigative journalist Troy Anderson explores the extraordinary connections surrounding Nikola Tesla, time travel, the Trump family lineage and America’s future—following a trail of historical mysteries and remarkable coincidences that raises provocative questions about the past, present and what may lie ahead.

Could This Be the “Hook in the Jaw”?

As Begley considered the mounting pressure surrounding Russia and the possibility of a wider confrontation with NATO, he raised one of the broadcast’s most provocative prophetic questions: Could circumstances such as these eventually relate to the mysterious “hook” described in Ezekiel 38?

“Is this the hook in the jaw?” Begley asked, not as a declaration that Ezekiel’s prophecy was being fulfilled, but as a question about where the growing confrontation could ultimately lead.

Ezekiel 38 describes Gog being drawn into a massive future conflict involving Israel and a coalition of nations. The passage has generated centuries of debate among biblical scholars and prophecy teachers, particularly over the identity of Gog and Magog, the nations involved and the timing of the battle. Many modern prophecy interpreters have associated elements of Ezekiel’s coalition with Russia and surrounding nations, while other scholars dispute that identification or understand the passage differently.

For that reason, it would be premature to declare the present confrontation over Kaliningrad—or the broader war involving Russia and Ukraine—to be the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38. Begley did not make that claim during the broadcast. Instead, he raised the possibility that growing geopolitical pressure on Russia could be worth watching in light of Ezekiel’s striking description of Gog being drawn into a future conflict.

That distinction is essential to responsible prophecy analysis. Biblical prophecy calls believers to remain watchful, but watchfulness does not require forcing every international crisis into a predetermined prophetic timeline. Current events should be examined alongside Scripture with humility, recognizing both the remarkable parallels that may emerge and the limits of what can responsibly be concluded from them.

Even apart from questions about Ezekiel 38, the geopolitical developments themselves warrant serious attention. Russia remains one of the world’s major nuclear powers; the war in Ukraine continues to shape European security; NATO and Russian military forces operate within an increasingly tense strategic environment; and Moscow has publicly warned that a direct attack on Russian territory, including Kaliningrad, could raise the possibility of employing the full range of weapons available to it.

Whether or not today’s events ultimately prove connected to Ezekiel’s prophecy, they underscore the reality that relationships among Russia, Europe, the Middle East and Israel can shift with extraordinary speed. For students of Bible prophecy, the appropriate response is neither to declare fulfillment prematurely nor to ignore developments that resemble themes Scripture tells believers to watch. It is to remain attentive, prayerful and anchored in the biblical text as history continues to unfold.

“Wars and Rumours of Wars”

Against the backdrop of nuclear threats, continuing warfare and geopolitical uncertainty, the words of Jesus in Matthew 24 carry particular weight. Speaking to His disciples about events surrounding the end of the age, Christ warned that they would hear of “wars and rumours of wars,” but He immediately followed that warning with an instruction Christians should remember just as clearly: “see that ye be not troubled” (Matthew 24:6).

That second part of Christ’s warning is especially important in an age when images of war can circle the globe within seconds and every new crisis can arrive instantly on our phones. Jesus did not tell His followers to ignore world events, but neither did He instruct them to live in fear of them. His words call believers to remain spiritually awake while refusing to allow turmoil, speculation or uncertainty to overwhelm their faith.

That perspective should shape how Christians approach the developments discussed during Thursday’s broadcast. Putin’s nuclear warnings deserve serious attention, but they should not produce panic. The rapid advance of artificial intelligence deserves careful examination, but Christians need not regard every new technology as inherently evil. Revelation 13 deserves rigorous study, but every new financial or identification system should not automatically be declared the Mark of the Beast. In the same way, wars, alliances and geopolitical realignments can be examined for their possible prophetic significance without attempting to set dates or claim certainty where Scripture does not provide it.

Biblical prophecy was never intended merely to satisfy curiosity about the future. It calls believers to faithfulness in the present—to discern the times, remain spiritually prepared, proclaim the Gospel and place their confidence in God even when the world appears increasingly unstable. The prophetic passages of Scripture remind us that history is not moving randomly or beyond God’s knowledge; they point toward the ultimate fulfillment of His purposes and the return of Jesus Christ.

For that reason, watching and trusting are not opposites. Christians can pay close attention to what is happening in Russia, Ukraine, Israel, the Middle East and throughout the world while remaining anchored in the words Christ gave His disciples nearly two thousand years ago. “See that ye be not troubled” is not a call to indifference. It is a call to discernment without fear, vigilance without panic and spiritual readiness grounded in faith.

A Dangerous Prophetic Hour

What made Thursday’s conversation particularly striking was not any single prediction or headline, but the convergence of developments that only a generation ago might have seemed largely unrelated. Nuclear confrontation, the war in Ukraine, rising tensions between Russia and NATO, artificial intelligence and autonomous warfare are unfolding alongside profound technological and geopolitical changes that are reshaping how nations exercise power and how future conflicts may be fought.

None of this proves that the final events described in Revelation are imminent, nor does it provide a timetable for Christ’s return. Jesus warned His followers about deception and repeatedly emphasized watchfulness and readiness rather than date-setting. Yet caution should not become complacency. The extraordinary pace of change surrounding warfare, technology, global power and economic systems gives believers reason to remain attentive to developments that previous generations could scarcely have imagined.

That is ultimately what made Begley and Mike From Around the World’s Thursday discussion so consequential. The question is not whether every headline fulfills a particular prophecy, but whether the world is developing in directions that make the warnings of Scripture increasingly important to understand. Whatever may come next, the biblical response remains the same: watch carefully, test what we see against Scripture and remain spiritually prepared.

Watch, Pray and Be Ready

If these developments are indeed signs of a world entering a more dangerous and consequential period, the question for believers is not simply what will happen next, but how we should live in the midst of it. Scripture repeatedly gives us the answer: watch, pray, exercise discernment and remain spiritually ready.

That calling leaves little room for either fear or obsession. Christians are not called to spend their lives attempting to identify the Antichrist, interpreting every political development as prophetic fulfillment or allowing partisan anger and political division to eclipse the Gospel. Neither should our fascination with prophecy become so consuming that we lose sight of why God revealed these things in the first place. Biblical prophecy is ultimately intended to awaken us—to remind us of the urgency of the hour, the certainty of Christ’s promises and the mission He has entrusted to His Church.

That mission remains before us regardless of what happens in Moscow, Washington, Jerusalem or Brussels. There are people who need to hear the Gospel, prodigals who need to come home, families that need prayer, hurting people who need hope and a generation searching for truth in a world increasingly filled with confusion. If the prophetic clock is indeed advancing, the appropriate response of the Church is not retreat, but greater faithfulness.

The geopolitical landscape may continue to grow more dangerous. Russia and NATO may remain locked in confrontation, nuclear rhetoric may intensify, artificial intelligence may transform warfare faster than governments can fully understand or regulate it, and digital systems may become increasingly interconnected and powerful. Yet none of these developments alters the central message or ultimate hope of Scripture: Jesus Christ is Lord, and history does not end with the triumph of war, technology, political power or the Antichrist. It ends with the triumph and return of Jesus Christ.

That is why we watch without surrendering to fear, pray without ceasing and remain ready without attempting to predict the day or hour. Our confidence does not rest in governments, military alliances, technological systems or human leaders, but in the One who declared Himself the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.

Until that day, Revelation Watchers will continue to watch the signs, examine the evidence and test what we see against the Word of God—not simply so that we may understand prophecy, but so that people may come to know the One to whom all prophecy ultimately points: Jesus Christ.

A Prayer for Peace, Discernment and Revival

Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, placing our trust in You at a time when nations are shaking, wars continue, nuclear threats are being spoken and powerful new technologies are advancing at a pace the world is still struggling to understand.

Lord, we ask You to restrain the forces of war and bring wisdom to the leaders of Russia, Ukraine, the United States, NATO nations, Israel and nations throughout the world. Guard them against pride, deception and catastrophic miscalculation. Frustrate plans that would lead to unnecessary bloodshed, open doors for peace where peace is possible, and protect the innocent men, women and children whose lives are caught in the midst of conflict.

Father, give Your Church wisdom and discernment in this prophetic hour. Keep us from becoming spiritually asleep to the signs of the times, but also protect us from fear, confusion and deception. Teach us to watch with wisdom, pray with faith and courageously stand upon the truth of Your Word, remembering that our hope is found not in the circumstances around us, but in Jesus Christ.

As artificial intelligence, autonomous weapons, surveillance systems and other powerful technologies continue to advance, give those who develop and govern them wisdom and restraint. Protect humanity from their misuse, and help us preserve the dignity, freedom and value of every human life created in Your image.

Above all, Lord, we ask You to send revival. Pour out Your Spirit upon America, Israel and the nations of the world. Awaken Your Church, restore families, bring prodigals home and draw those who do not yet know Jesus Christ into a saving relationship with You. Raise up pastors, evangelists, intercessors, watchmen and faithful believers who will proclaim the Gospel with courage, compassion and love in a generation desperately searching for truth and hope.

When the world seems overwhelmed by darkness, remind us that darkness cannot overcome the light of Christ. Help us keep our eyes fixed upon Jesus, remain faithful to the mission You have given us and live each day with the expectation that Your purposes will ultimately prevail.

We place our trust not in governments or military power, not in technology or human wisdom, but in You—the King of kings and Lord of lords. Give us peace in the midst of uncertainty, courage in the face of fear and faithfulness as we watch and pray for the return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Revelation Watchers, are we watching subjects once largely confined to Bible studies, prophecy conferences and church pulpits move into the highest levels of America’s public conversation?

Within the span of several weeks, Vice President JD Vance has openly discussed the Antichrist, the End Times, and the implications of artificial intelligence, asking on Bryce Crawford’s podcast whether the Antichrist may already be “walking among us.” Then, on September 22, President Donald Trump stood before the 81st United Nations General Assembly and declared:

“There is no global government. And while I’m president, there will be no global taxes.”

Trump also said the United States rejects attempts to construct what he called a “globalist scheme” of control for artificial intelligence, while emphasizing national sovereignty.

For students of Bible prophecy, these developments raise significant questions—not because a political speech proves that a particular biblical prophecy is being fulfilled, but because concepts such as global governance, artificial intelligence, the Antichrist and the End Times are increasingly being discussed in mainstream political settings.

These are also among the questions at the heart of our (Pastor Paul Begley and Troy Anderson) new book, Trump vs. the Beast: The Ten Kings Prophecy and Bible’s Revelation of Coming Final Days, the #1 “Hot New Release” in “Prophecies on Amazon, releasing October 6 from Humanix Books/Newsmax Media.

JD Vance: Could the Antichrist Already Be “Walking Among Us”?

Vice President JD Vance recently entered territory rarely explored so openly by a sitting vice president. During a conversation with Christian podcaster Bryce Crawford, Vance was asked about the End Times and whether events in today’s world caused him to think about biblical prophecy. His response was notably cautious: Vance said he does not know whether humanity is presently living in the End Times and warned against becoming overly consumed with such speculation. But he also said there are things happening in the world that would leave him “not shocked if the Antichrist was walking among us.”

That distinction is important. Vance did not claim to know that the Antichrist is alive today, nor did he claim that current events prove the biblical End Times have arrived. What is remarkable is that the vice president of the United States is publicly discussing these questions at all. Vance, who became interested in Bible prophecy at an early age, also spoke about occasions when he believed he had sensed spiritual darkness during meetings with world leaders, saying certain conversations had set off “every spiritual alarm bell” in his body.

The conversation also turned toward artificial intelligence. Vance expressed concern about AI replacing deeply human relationships and described an acquaintance using AI as a marriage counselor. His comments focused on what he sees as the danger of separating human beings from the social relationships for which he believes God created them.

Whatever one thinks of Vance’s theological interpretation, his remarks illustrate something significant: the conversation about AI is no longer merely technological or economic. For some prominent public figures, it has become spiritual as well.

Trump at the UN: “There Is No Global Government”

President Trump brought another dimension to the conversation during his September 22 address before the United Nations. Speaking before world leaders in New York, Trump strongly emphasized national sovereignty and criticized international institutions and global governance initiatives. One statement was particularly striking:

“There is no global government. And while I’m president, there will be no global taxes.”

Trump also addressed artificial intelligence, saying:

“The United States totally rejects any attempt to construct a globalist scheme of control” for AI.

These were political and policy statements—not declarations about biblical prophecy. Yet for Christians who study the books of Daniel and Revelation, the language intersects with questions Scripture has raised for centuries about the concentration of political and economic power in the final chapters of human history. That does not mean every international institution represents the prophetic system described in Revelation, nor does technological globalization itself prove that prophecy has reached its final fulfillment.

What has changed dramatically, however, is the technological landscape. The capacity for unprecedented coordination, surveillance, digital identification and financial control has developed in ways earlier generations could scarcely have imagined. For prophecy watchers seeking to understand the potential implications of these developments through the lens of Scripture, that deserves careful watching and discernment.

The Ancient Mystery of the Ten Kings

Revelation 17 contains one of Scripture’s most mysterious prophetic passages, describing ten kings who receive authority for a brief period and ultimately surrender their authority to the Beast:

“And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.”

— Revelation 17:12 (KJV)

For centuries, Bible scholars have debated what these kings represent, when they will appear and how their authority relates to the final world system described in Revelation. In Trump vs. the Beast, we explore this ancient prophecy alongside today’s geopolitical systems, rapidly advancing artificial intelligence, digital financial technologies, the surveillance state, and the increasing concentration of technological power.

We are not claiming that every modern development automatically fulfills Revelation. Rather, these developments raise a question that every generation of prophecy watchers must confront: Are events converging in our world that could make the kind of global totalitarian system described by the Apostle John in the book of Revelation possible?

Revelation 13 and the Technology That Didn’t Exist Before

Revelation 13 describes a future system in which economic participation becomes connected to allegiance to the Beast:

“And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark of the beast.”

— Revelation 13:17 (KJV)

For most of Christian history, believers could read these words but could only speculate about how such widespread economic control might actually function. Today, however, digital identity systems, artificial intelligence, biometric authentication, sophisticated surveillance, programmable financial technologies and interconnected databases have dramatically changed the technological landscape.

That does not mean these technologies are themselves the “mark of the beast.” A digital currency is not automatically the system described in Revelation 13, nor is artificial intelligence automatically an Antichrist technology. Christians should be careful not to label every technological innovation as the fulfillment of biblical prophecy.

At the same time, technologies now exist that can enable increasingly sophisticated forms of identification, surveillance and economic control. For students of Bible prophecy, that makes discernment more important than ever: not reacting to every development with fear, but carefully watching, testing what we see against Scripture and keeping our focus on Jesus Christ.

In my #1 bestseller The Trump Code, I (Troy Anderson) explore the extraordinary events surrounding Donald Trump through the lens of biblical prophecy, the curious 19th century “Baron Trump” novels of Ingersoll Lockwood, American history and spiritual awakening, inviting readers to consider the deeper spiritual questions shaping our time.

Discover the investigation and prophetic themes behind The Trump Code: Exploring Time Travel, Nikola Tesla, the Trump Lineage, and America’s Future (Charisma House/FrontLine).

What Trump vs. the Beast Investigates

Our new book, Trump vs. the Beast, goes much further into these questions, examining the convergence of biblical prophecy, geopolitics, artificial intelligence, technological power, global institutions, digital financial systems and the mysterious Ten Kings of Revelation 17.

We investigate reports concerning elite preparations for catastrophic scenarios between now and 2030 and what some survivalists and commentators have called “The Event.” We also examine competing theories about how a future global crisis could reshape political and economic systems, asking whether today’s rapidly advancing technologies could provide mechanisms for forms of centralized control that earlier generations simply did not possess.

The book also explores our thesis concerning Trump’s role as a “divine disruptor”—our prophetic interpretation of his political role in relation to the global systems examined in the book.

Ultimately, however, the central message is much larger than any president, political movement or government. The Bible points believers toward Jesus Christ—not political leaders, institutions or technology—as the source of salvation and our ultimate hope.

Are We Watching the Prophetic Conversation Change?

Something unusual is happening in American public life. A sitting vice president is openly discussing the possibility of the Antichrist and the End Times, while a president has stood before the United Nations declaring that there will be no global government under his administration and rejecting international control over artificial intelligence. At the same time, prominent technology investor Peter Thiel has devoted public lectures to questions involving the Antichrist, technology, global power and the future of civilization.

None of these developments establishes a prophetic timetable or proves that a particular biblical prophecy is being fulfilled. But taken together, they illustrate how subjects once largely confined to churches, Bible studies and prophecy conferences are becoming increasingly visible in mainstream political, technological and cultural conversations.

For Revelation Watchers, the appropriate response is not panic, fear or speculation, but discernment, prayer, watchfulness and, above all, faithfulness to Jesus Christ. Our responsibility is not to predict dates or force every headline into a prophetic framework, but to remain spiritually alert, test what we see against Scripture and keep our eyes fixed on Christ. As Jesus told His disciples:

“Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.”

— Matthew 24:42 (KJV)

Watch. Pray. Prepare.

As we approach the October 6 release of Trump vs. the Beast (the audio book was released August 24), we believe this is an important time for Christians to return to the Bible, seek God earnestly in prayer and carefully examine the extraordinary changes unfolding around us. Not every headline is prophecy, and not every technological development represents the fulfillment of Revelation. Scripture calls believers to guard against both deception and complacency, testing what we hear and see against the truth of God’s Word.

Our responsibility is to remain spiritually alert, walk faithfully with Christ and be prepared for whatever the future may bring. Ultimately, the most important question is not simply whether the world is changing or where we may stand on the prophetic timeline. The question for each of us is: Are we spiritually prepared—and are we helping others discover the hope and salvation found in Jesus Christ?

This is a time to watch, pray, seek God, share the Gospel and keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. Whatever tomorrow may bring, our hope remains secure in Him.

A Prayer for Discernment, Revival and Spiritual Readiness

Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, humbled by the times in which we live and grateful that, no matter what happens in this world, You remain sovereign over the nations, over history and over our lives.

Lord, give us wisdom and spiritual discernment. In a world filled with competing voices, rapidly changing technology, political turmoil and uncertainty, help us distinguish truth from deception, wisdom from speculation, and genuine biblical warning from fear and sensationalism. Teach us to test everything against Your Word and to seek the guidance of Your Holy Spirit.

Father, awaken Your Church and bring us back to our first love. Where we have grown complacent, awaken us. Where we have compromised, convict us. Where we have become fearful, strengthen us. Where we have wandered from Your truth, lead us back to You.

We cry out for repentance, revival and a great spiritual awakening in America and throughout the nations. Pour out Your Spirit upon families, churches and communities. Heal broken lives, restore families, rescue the lost and bring prodigals home. Raise up pastors, evangelists, intercessors and believers who will proclaim the Gospel with courage, compassion and truth.

We pray for our leaders and for leaders throughout the world. Give them wisdom, humility and discernment. Restrain evil, expose deception, protect the innocent and bring justice where there is injustice. May those entrusted with authority seek what is true and right, and may Your people faithfully pray for all who govern.

As artificial intelligence, digital technologies and global systems advance at extraordinary speed, protect us from deception and from placing our trust in human power. Give us wisdom to use technology for good without allowing it to master us, and help us remain alert to anything that would diminish human dignity, freedom of conscience or faithfulness to You.

Above all, Lord, keep our eyes fixed on Jesus Christ. Remind us that our ultimate hope is not in presidents, governments, political movements, financial systems or technology. Our hope is in You alone.

Prepare our hearts for whatever lies ahead. Give us courage without fear, urgency without panic, discernment without speculation and faith that cannot be shaken. Help us live each day as faithful witnesses of Jesus Christ—loving others, sharing the Gospel and shining Your light in a world that desperately needs hope.

May we be found watching. May we be found praying. May we be found faithful. And may everything we do bring glory to Jesus Christ.

In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

Do You Know Jesus? A Prayer of Salvation

Bible prophecy ultimately points us beyond world events to the most important question any of us will ever face: Do you know Jesus Christ? Knowing what may happen tomorrow cannot save us, and understanding every prophecy cannot save us. No political leader, government, technology or human institution can save the human soul. Our salvation and eternal hope are found in Jesus Christ.

The Bible tells us that we have all sinned and fallen short of God’s glory, but God loved us so deeply that He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for our sins and rose again. Through repentance and faith in Christ, we can receive God’s forgiveness, reconciliation and the gift of eternal life.

If you have never surrendered your life to Jesus—or if you have wandered away from Him and desire to return—you can call upon Him today. The words themselves are not a formula; what matters is sincere repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. If this expresses the desire of your heart, you can pray:

Lord Jesus,

I come to You knowing that I need You. I confess that I am a sinner, and I ask You to forgive me. I believe that You are the Son of God, that You died on the cross for my sins and that You rose from the dead. I repent of my sins and turn to You. Jesus, I receive You as my Lord and Savior. Wash me clean, make me new and change my heart.

Fill me with Your Holy Spirit, guide me in Your truth and give me the strength to follow You all the days of my life. I place my past, my present and my future into Your hands. Thank You for Your mercy, Your grace and Your love, and thank You for the gift of eternal life. From this day forward, I belong to You.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

If you prayed this prayer sincerely, this is the beginning of your walk with Christ, not the end. Begin reading the Bible and talking with God in prayer each day, and find a Bible-believing church where you can worship, learn God’s Word and grow alongside other believers. Whatever happens in the world around us, Jesus Christ remains our hope.

Keep watching. Keep praying. Keep looking up.

“WARN THE PEOPLE”: Pastor Paul Begley’s Chilling Revelation 911 Vision and the Prophetic Storm Ahead

It began quietly in July 2021, as Pastor Paul Begley sat studying the Bible with his concordance open before him. Then, without warning, Begley says the atmosphere seemed to change. In what he describes as an open vision, the words “Revelation 911” suddenly appeared before him in red, suspended in the air like a prophetic banner. Moments later, the scene shifted dramatically. Begley saw what appeared to be a massive pit, heard the rattling of chains, and watched smoke rise as a terrifying spiritual presence emerged from the abyss. As strange objects moved rapidly through the smoke, Begley says he immediately sensed that what he was seeing was connected to Revelation 9 and the terrifying imagery surrounding the bottomless pit and Apollyon.

****Support our mission—become a paid subscriber today and help us deliver prophetic insights, hope and economic revelations for these end-times.******

“Lord, what am I seeing?” Begley recalled asking. The answer he says came to his spirit was chilling in its urgency: “It’s about to happen. It’s upon mankind. Warn the people.” When Begley pressed further, asking what exactly was about to happen, he says the Lord simply told him, “Go read it.” Begley returned to Revelation 9 and began studying the passage in depth, convinced that the vision carried a warning not simply about one event, but about a much larger prophetic scenario that could someday confront the world.
That extraordinary experience eventually became a catalyst for Revelation 911, the book Pastor Begley and I wrote together examining the convergence of biblical prophecy, geopolitical upheaval, rapidly advancing technology and the spiritual battle we believe is intensifying across the world. Now, in a compelling new interview with Bob DuVall on In Times Like These, Begley has revisited the vision and expanded upon what he believes it could mean as humanity moves deeper into an era marked by artificial intelligence, global economic restructuring, wars and rumors of wars, growing centralized power and unprecedented technological capabilities.

For Begley, the term “Revelation 911” carried an immediate double meaning. The number naturally evoked the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, one of the most traumatic events in modern American history, but he came to believe that the vision pointed far beyond the destruction of the World Trade Center. In his view, 9/11 may have served as a warning sign or precursor to a much larger period of global upheaval described throughout Revelation. In the interview, Begley connects his vision with passages in Revelation 9, 13, 17 and 18, as well as Daniel, Matthew 24 and 2 Thessalonians, raising profound questions about whether the political, economic, spiritual and technological infrastructure necessary for the end-times system foretold in Scripture is beginning to emerge before our eyes.

One of the most striking moments in the interview comes as Begley discusses the Feast of Trumpets. He is careful not to set a date for the return of Jesus Christ, repeatedly acknowledging Christ’s warning that no one knows the day or the hour. Yet he believes the convergence of the 25th anniversary of 9/11 with the biblical season of trumpets carries symbolic significance and should prompt believers to pay attention. “There’s going to be a warning,” Begley told DuVall, describing it as a spiritual trumpet blast calling America to awaken. His message, he said, is that the nation should be on high alert and that the Lord may be speaking to His people about the times into which we are entering

The Rise of the Beast System?

The deeper question running through the interview is whether the world is witnessing the gradual construction of what the Bible calls the beast system. For centuries, Christians have studied Revelation’s mysterious references to ten kings who receive authority with the Beast. Traditionally, many interpreters have viewed these figures as political rulers or leaders of nations. Begley does not dismiss that possibility, but after years of studying the passages, he began considering another interpretation: What if these “kings” also represent vast centers of power whose influence extends far beyond individual presidents, prime ministers or governments?

In Trump vs. the Beast, the #1 “Hot New Release” in “Prophecies” on Amazon, our new book from Humanix Books/Newsmax Media, Begley and I explore ten powerful spheres that could potentially become components of such a future system: global health and pharmaceutical power; media, Big Tech, entertainment and artificial intelligence; education and human thought engineering; food and agriculture; transportation and global logistics; the military-industrial complex; government; energy; banking and finance; and religion. Begley’s concern is not that every large institution or technological advancement is inherently sinister, but that the consolidation of extraordinary power within these spheres could eventually make possible a level of global coordination and control previous generations could scarcely have imagined.

Nowhere is that possibility more apparent than in the explosive development of artificial intelligence. In our research for Trump vs. the Beast, we explore whether AI could eventually become something akin to the nervous system of a future global order, connecting financial systems, biometric identity, communications, surveillance networks, transportation, healthcare, commerce and government databases with astonishing speed and precision. What once belonged to the realm of science fiction is increasingly becoming technologically possible.

Yet Begley emphasizes an important distinction: technology itself is not the Beast. AI, like virtually every other human invention, can be used for good or evil. The same technology capable of monitoring populations could help translate the Bible into languages and dialects around the world, spread the Gospel into previously inaccessible regions and provide extraordinary tools for evangelism. The crucial question is not simply what the technology can do, but who ultimately controls it, what values govern it, and how it might someday be used.

That question becomes especially significant when viewed alongside Revelation 13, which describes a future system in which no one can buy or sell without the mark associated with the Beast. For nearly two thousand years, believers could read those words only through the lens of faith because no technological system existed that could realistically regulate commerce on a worldwide scale. Today, however, digital currencies, biometric identification, artificial intelligence, programmable payment systems and global financial networks make the mechanics of such control increasingly conceivable.

Begley tells DuVall that the beast system should not be understood simply as one evil leader suddenly appearing on the world stage. In his interpretation, it is an entire structure of political, financial, technological and spiritual control that ultimately serves the Antichrist. The biblical Beast is both a ruler and a kingdom, while the false prophet provides the spiritual dimension that helps persuade humanity to submit to that system. Begley believes many of the technological “building blocks” that could someday enable such control are already being developed, while cautioning that this does not mean any particular technology now in existence should automatically be identified as the Mark of the Beast.

The Other Side of Prophecy: A Great Harvest

The implications are sobering, but this is where Begley’s message takes an important turn. Bible prophecy, he argues, is not merely a story about darkness overtaking the world. Scripture also points toward an extraordinary end-times harvest in which multitudes come to faith in Jesus Christ. When DuVall asks how he can remain optimistic amid such troubling developments, Begley points to the biblical promises of spiritual outpouring, revival and a great harvest of souls. He envisions a move of God of historic proportions, a time when sons and daughters prophesy, young men see visions and people throughout the world respond to the Gospel with unprecedented urgency.

“No matter what else is going on,” Begley says, he remains deeply optimistic about people coming to Christ and experiencing salvation through Jesus Christ.

How Should Christians Prepare?

That is also why the original command Begley says he received—“Warn the people”—should not be interpreted as a call to panic. Biblical warning is meant to produce repentance, wisdom, preparation and faithfulness. When DuVall asks how Christians should prepare for what may be coming, Begley acknowledges the wisdom of practical preparation for natural disasters, power outages and emergencies. But he quickly makes clear that no stockpile of food, water or supplies can substitute for spiritual preparation.

Believers, he says, must strengthen themselves in the Lord, return to Scripture, cultivate a daily devotional life, pray faithfully and refuse to allow fear to overpower faith. “Don’t walk in fear, but walk in faith,” Begley tells viewers. He compares prophetic warning to a road sign alerting motorists that a bridge has collapsed ahead. The person holding the warning sign is not trying to terrify drivers; he is trying to keep them from plunging over the edge. In the same way, Begley says his purpose is not fearmongering but helping the Body of Christ recognize the dangers ahead so believers can remain strong in the Lord.

Perhaps the most powerful moment comes at the end of the interview. After nearly an hour discussing the Antichrist, Revelation’s ten kings, the Beast, AI, economic control and the prophetic future of the world, DuVall asks Begley to pray. Begley immediately turns the conversation back to the central message of Christianity—the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He asks the Lord to speak to viewers’ hearts, show them what they need to do and help them grow in the grace and knowledge of Christ. Then he speaks directly to those who have never accepted Jesus as Savior.

“Today is the day of salvation,” Begley says, explaining that those who believe in their hearts that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, believe that God raised Him from the dead and confess Him as Savior can call upon the name of the Lord and be saved.

“Warn the People”—But Do Not Walk in Fear

In the end, that may be the most important meaning of the Revelation 911 vision. Prophecy is not given merely so believers can construct timelines, identify geopolitical players or speculate about future events. Biblical prophecy is ultimately a call to readiness. It reminds us that human kingdoms rise and fall, technologies advance, economies change and nations shake, but the Word of God stands forever.

The Book of Revelation does indeed describe an Antichrist, a Beast system, economic control, deception, persecution and judgment. But that is not where the story ends. Revelation ultimately unveils Jesus Christ returning in power and glory as King of kings and Lord of lords, defeating evil and establishing His kingdom.

That is why Begley’s warning should be heard not simply as a message of impending danger, but as a call to spiritual awakening. If the prophetic clock is moving forward, this is not the hour for the Church to retreat in fear. It is the hour to pray more fervently, study the Scriptures more deeply, discern the times more carefully, proclaim the Gospel more boldly and stand firmly upon the promises of God.

The command Begley says he heard in that extraordinary vision more than five years ago remains as urgent today as when he first received it:

“Warn the people.”

Revelation Watchers Report

As solar flares erupt, global powers collide, mysterious nuclear shipments surface, and environmental instability accelerates, Pastor Paul Begley and Mike from Around the World delivered one of the most urgent prophetic broadcasts of the year — warning that the world may be approaching a historic turning point unlike anything seen in modern history.

****Support our mission—become a paid subscriber today and help us deliver prophetic insights, hope and economic revelations for these end-times.******

The Coming Apocalypse: Pastor Paul Begley and Mike from Around the World warn of escalating global instability, environmental upheaval, and prophetic signs converging at a historic moment.

In a powerful and wide-ranging Thursday night broadcast, Pastor Paul Begley welcomed renowned analyst Mike from Around the World for what many viewers described as one of the most intense prophetic discussions of the year.

From escalating tensions involving China, Taiwan, Iran, and Russia to warnings of a possible “Super El Niño” event, mysterious nuclear shipments, released UFO files, solar flares, and dramatic environmental instability, the broadcast painted a sobering picture of a world standing at the edge of unprecedented upheaval.

Trump vs. The Beast exposes the accelerating rise of the Antichrist system foretold in Scripture—revealing how global power, deception, and prophecy are converging in a battle that will decide the fate of nations and the Church. Pre-order Trump vs. The Beast (Humanix Books/Newsmax Media, August 18, 2026), the #1 “Hot New Release” in “Prophecies” on Amazon, by Pastor Paul Begley and Troy Anderson.

“You Can’t Stop Prophecy”

Pastor Paul Begley opened the broadcast with a familiar warning:

“Nobody wants to meet the apocalypse head on… but that’s exactly where we’re all going. You can’t stop prophecy.”

The show immediately launched into discussions surrounding global instability, catastrophic weather patterns, and what Pastor Begley described as mounting “birth pains” in the earth. He referenced floods, droughts, solar flares, shifting ocean currents, heat waves, and changing jet streams — all tied to what experts are now calling a potentially historic “Super El Niño.”

Trump, China, Taiwan, and the Strait of Hormuz

One of the major geopolitical themes of the evening centered around President Donald Trump’s high-level meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Pastor Begley described growing tensions surrounding Taiwan and the Strait of Hormuz, suggesting that China is attempting to leverage cooperation with Iran in exchange for American restraint regarding Taiwan.

When Mike from Around the World joined the broadcast, he warned that Taiwan represents a major “red line” for China.

“They are quite aggressive toward Taiwan… they’re not going to give that up.”

Mike also cautioned that the world may now be entering an era dominated by three final superpowers:

“It seems like we’re in the time of almost the last three kingdoms — China, Russia, and the USA.”

He warned that China’s technological growth, particularly in artificial intelligence, could rapidly shift the global balance of power if the United States fails to maintain leverage.

The #1 bestseller Revelation 911 (Salem Books/Regnery Publishing) by Pastor Paul Begley and six-time #1 bestselling journalist Troy Anderson connects end-times prophecy with breaking global events. This urgent book calls believers to discern the times, anchor their hope in Christ, and be ready for His soon return.

Russia’s Mysterious Nuclear Reactor Shipment

Another explosive topic discussed during the broadcast involved reports that a Russian cargo vessel carrying two nuclear reactors intended for North Korea mysteriously exploded and sank off the coast of Spain. Pastor Begley described the incident as evidence of an expanding “axis” between Russia, North Korea, China, and Iran.

Mike from Around the World added that the real question may not be about the ship that sank — but how many shipments successfully reached North Korea beforehand.

“That was sunk for a reason… but how many did they miss?”

He suggested the incident exposed a broader clandestine supply chain helping North Korea upgrade its nuclear submarine capabilities.

UFO Files, Fallen Angels, and Genesis 6

Pastor Begley also revisited recently released presidential UFO files, discussing decades-old astronaut encounters and reports involving unidentified aerial phenomena.

However, rather than treating the phenomenon as extraterrestrial, Pastor Begley framed the discussion through a biblical lens — connecting UFO reports, “interdimensional beings,” and demonic activity to the fallen angels described in Genesis 6.

The discussion referenced teachings popularized by researchers such as L. A. Marzulli and Steve Quayle regarding the Nephilim, ancient giants, and spiritual warfare. Pastor Begley argued that modern society is beginning to revisit subjects that much of the church avoided discussing for generations.

Written for obedience. Released for awakening. Join the Holy Spirit in the Great End Times Revival! Order now.

Super El Niño and Global Climate Instability

Perhaps the most alarming segment of the broadcast focused on warnings about a potentially catastrophic Super El Niño event. Mike from Around the World explained that today’s environmental conditions differ dramatically from past climate cycles because of accelerated ice loss in both the Arctic and Antarctic regions.

According to Mike, rising ocean temperatures combined with shrinking ice coverage could produce unprecedented atmospheric instability:

“This time we don’t have the ice to act as a cooling effect.”

He warned of possible jet stream reversals, intensified droughts, destructive fires, violent storms, agricultural collapse, infrastructure instability, and major changes to migration patterns among both insects and animals.

One particularly startling claim involved the possibility of dramatic geological instability along portions of the West Coast, including California, due to changing ocean pressures and increased saturation along fault and volcanic regions.

Black Mold, Lantern Flies, and Emerging Health Concerns

The broadcast also examined the growing spread of invasive lantern flies across multiple U.S. states. Pastor Begley explained that the insects produce a sticky “honeydew” substance that can contribute to dangerous black mold growth.

Mike from Around the World warned that shifting climate conditions, excessive moisture, and changing insect migration patterns could worsen respiratory illnesses and mold-related health issues nationwide.

The conversation expanded into discussions about Lyme disease, engineered insects, invasive species, and broader concerns surrounding biological vulnerabilities in an increasingly unstable world.

A Spiritual Call to Prepare

Throughout the entire broadcast, Pastor Begley repeatedly emphasized that believers should not respond in fear, but in faith, prayer, repentance, and spiritual readiness.

Referencing Genesis 3, Genesis 6, Matthew 24, and the broader prophetic themes of Scripture, he urged viewers to recognize what he believes are converging signs of the times while placing their trust in Jesus Christ.

The show also featured worship music and moments of encouragement centered around God’s protection during uncertain days ahead.

Final Thoughts

As wars intensify, weather patterns grow increasingly unstable, and technological and geopolitical rivalries deepen, Pastor Paul Begley and Mike from Around the World presented a sobering message: the world may be entering a period unlike anything seen in modern history.

Whether discussing China and Taiwan, Russia and North Korea, climate instability, UFO disclosures, or spiritual warfare, the underlying theme remained clear — humanity is approaching a critical crossroads spiritually, politically, and globally.

For the Revelation Watchers community, the broadcast served as both a warning and a call to remain spiritually awake, prayerful, and anchored in biblical truth during turbulent times ahead.

Revelation Watchers: A Prayer for Protection, Wisdom, and Revival

Heavenly Father,

In these turbulent and uncertain times, we come before You humbly, seeking Your mercy, wisdom, protection, and peace. As wars and rumors of wars increase, as the earth groans through floods, fires, earthquakes, and shaking in the heavens, we ask You to strengthen Your people and awaken hearts around the world.

Lord, give us discernment in an age of deception. Help us walk in truth, courage, and unwavering faith in Jesus Christ. Protect our families, our children, our communities, and all those who call upon Your name.

We pray for America, Israel, and the nations of the world. We ask for divine intervention against evil, violence, corruption, and the rising spirit of chaos. Raise up courageous leaders, watchmen, and believers who will stand boldly for righteousness and truth.

Father, let revival spread across this nation and throughout the earth. Pour out Your Holy Spirit in these final days. Bring salvation, healing, repentance, and restoration to millions.

Even as the world shakes, let us remain anchored in Your promises.

As Psalm 91 declares:

“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”

Lord, shelter us beneath Your wings.

In the mighty name of Jesus Christ we pray,

Amen.

When Global Shaking Meets a Rising Spiritual Hunger

As global tensions rise, a deeper question has emerged: Is God using this moment to call hearts back to Him?

As Christians around the world prepare to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ this Easter, a different kind of story is unfolding on the global stage—one marked by conflict, revival, and unexpected political realignments.

From the White House to the Middle East, from Latin America to the Caribbean, events are accelerating at a pace that is difficult to ignore.

The United States, under the leadership of Donald Trump, finds itself at the center of multiple global flashpoints—from the conflict with Iran, to shifting political dynamics in Venezuela, renewed pressure on Cuba, and strengthened alliances across the Western Hemisphere. At the same time, America’s enduring relationship with Israel remains a focal point—not only geopolitically, but spiritually—for millions of believers.

In recent months, even the question of eternity has entered the public conversation at the highest levels, as President Trump openly reflected on his own spiritual standing, at one point admitting, “I just don’t think I qualify” for heaven.

Yet beneath the headlines, another story is quietly emerging—one not measured in military strategy or political negotiation, but in something far more profound: a growing spiritual hunger.

A new Barna Group survey found nearly 3 in 10 American adults (29 percent) believe a spiritual revival is likely to happen in the next 12 months—rising to 38 percent among Generation Z.

The findings point to a renewed openness to faith—particularly among younger Americans navigating anxiety, instability, and identity confusion.

“Across repeated studies, the directional finding holds: tens of millions of Americans—especially younger adults—believe a spiritual revival may be near,” according to Barna. “Even when revival is difficult to define or predict, the belief that spiritual change is possible signals a meaningful shift in cultural posture—from indifference and resistance toward openness and curiosity.”And this Easter, the convergence of these forces is raising a deeper question:

Are we witnessing the early signs of a national—and even global—spiritual reckoning?

Nations in Transition — A World in Motion

Across the globe, nations are shifting.

Recent developments in Venezuela and Cuba have drawn international attention, with analysts noting significant political and economic shifts across the region.

In Venezuela, signs of political and economic recalibration are emerging after years of instability, including leadership changes and renewed international engagement. In Cuba, mounting pressure, fuel shortages, and ongoing diplomatic maneuvering reflect a complex and evolving situation tied in part to energy constraints and external policy pressure.

Meanwhile, tensions with Iran continue to command global attention, as escalating conflict and internal unrest carry consequences far beyond the region—reshaping alliances, energy markets, and global stability.

For many observers, these developments represent geopolitics as usual. But for others—particularly within the faith community—they point to something more.

Across churches, prayer movements, and faith leaders, a growing number of voices are interpreting these events through a spiritual lens—seeing not only political realignment, but the possibility of divine movement. Some believe these disruptions may be creating conditions where long-standing strongholds are shaken, opening doors for transformation, freedom, and, ultimately, revival.

Throughout history, moments of global disruption have often preceded periods of spiritual awakening. Empires rise and fall. Alliances shift. Systems are shaken. And in those moments, people begin to ask deeper questions.

Is it possible that what we are witnessing is not only geopolitical change—but the early stages of a spiritual awakening unfolding?

• Revelation 911 reveals the prophetic signs converging before our eyes—are you ready? The #1 bestseller Revelation 911 (Salem Books/Regnery Publishing) by Pastor Paul Begley and bestselling journalist Troy Anderson connects end-times prophecy with breaking global events. This urgent book calls believers to discern the times, anchor their hope in Christ, and be ready for His soon return

From Power to Prayer — A Shift in the Conversation

In recent months, conversations about faith have reached an unexpected place—the highest levels of leadership. Evangelist Franklin Graham made headlines after revealing that he had personally reassured President Donald Trump regarding his standing with God, following Trump’s own candid reflections on eternity and salvation. In a letter shared publicly during Holy Week, Graham wrote, “It is an important issue to know… that your soul is secure,” adding, “The only One who can save us… is Jesus Christ.”

What was once considered deeply personal—questions of faith, eternity, and salvation—is now unfolding in the public square. To some, this signals vulnerability. To others, it signals something deeper.

Because throughout history, when leaders begin to wrestle openly with spiritual questions, it often reflects a broader stirring taking place beneath the surface of a nation. The shift is not confined to the halls of power—it echoes in homes, in churches, and in hearts searching for meaning in uncertain times.

For many within the faith community, this moment carries significance far beyond headlines. It reflects a deeper cultural shift—one where the conversation itself is beginning to change. And when the conversation changes, history suggests that hearts may soon follow.

Israel, America, and A Biblical Connection

For millions of Christians, America’s support for Israel is rooted in more than foreign policy—it is grounded in Scripture, shaped by conviction, and anchored in a sense of covenant. “I will bless those who bless you,” declares Genesis 12:3, a promise that has influenced generations of believers and continues to shape how many view the enduring relationship between the United States and Israel. In times of global uncertainty, attention naturally turns to the Middle East, but for the faith community, this focus extends far beyond geopolitics—it reflects a deeper awareness of biblical purpose and spiritual significance.

As tensions rise and headlines dominate the global stage, believers are not only watching events unfold; they are responding in prayer. Prayers for peace in Jerusalem. Prayers for protection across the region. And prayers for something even greater—an awakening that reaches beyond borders and into the hearts of people. In this sense, the conversation shifts from strategy to spirituality, from alliances to eternity.

Because ultimately, the story is not only about nations or political alignments—it is about souls. It is about the enduring hope that, even in times of conflict and uncertainty, hearts in Israel, America, and around the world will turn back to God, and that through that turning, a deeper peace—one not dependent on circumstances—can begin to take root.

• Designated Disrupter: Trump and Other Unlikely Agents of Revival
  (Charisma House/FrontLine, January 6, 2026) | From Pulitzer Prize–nominated journalist and six-time #1 bestselling author Troy Anderson, Designated Disrupter, the #2 “Hot New Release in “Church & State Religious Studies” on Amazon, reveals how God is using “designated disrupters” to confront darkness, disrupt corruption, and awaken a generation now breaking out in revival. Written for obedience. Released for awakening. Order now.

A Watchman’s Perspective — From the Frontlines of Faith and History

As I have documented throughout my work as an investigative journalist and author, these moments of convergence—where global events intersect with spiritual awakening—are not without precedent. In books such as Revelation 911 and Trump vs. the Beast, which I co-wrote with Pastor Paul Begley, as well as I’ve Been to Heaven, co-authored with Steve and Kathy Boyle, and my own works The Trump Code and Designated Disrupter, I have explored the deeper currents shaping our world—examining how faith, prophecy, and geopolitics often move together in ways that are only fully understood in hindsight.

In Revelation 911, we investigated how prophetic warnings and real-world events can intersect in ways that call for spiritual discernment—revealing how divine alerts may be hidden within global crises. In Trump vs. the Beast, we examined rising global tensions and the spiritual battle behind the headlines—uncovering the unseen war shaping the future of nations. In I’ve Been to Heaven, we documented powerful testimonies pointing to eternity—offering a glimpse beyond this life and a reminder that heaven is real.

And in my books The Trump Code—a journey into destiny, time, and the mysteries surrounding America’s future—and Designated Disrupter—the story of how disruptive leadership can emerge in pivotal moments to challenge and reshape history—I explored the forces shaping this critical hour.

What we are witnessing today echoes many of these themes. The rising tensions among nations, the shifting political landscape, and the increasing openness to spiritual conversations are not isolated developments—they are part of a broader narrative, one that points to both urgency and hope. If there is one consistent message that has emerged through these investigations, it is this: God moves in the midst of shaking. And often, when the world appears most uncertain, He is preparing the way for something greater.

This Easter, that message feels more relevant than ever. The same God who brought resurrection out of the cross is still at work today—moving through nations, stirring hearts, and calling this generation to awaken. The question is not whether He is moving, but whether we are willing to see it—and respond.

  In The Trump Code, Pulitzer Prize–nominated investigative journalist Troy Anderson takes readers on a spellbinding journey through history, prophecy, and current events—revealing astonishing connections between biblical patterns, America’s destiny, and the Trump phenomenon. From time travel theories and Nikola Tesla to hidden lineages and prophetic turning points, this explosive bestseller challenges conventional narratives and calls readers to discern the times we are living in.

The message of Easter — the turning point

Easter is not simply a remembrance of an event that took place 2,000 years ago—it is a revelation of how God works. At the center of the Christian faith is the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the moment that transformed apparent defeat into ultimate victory . The cross, in its time, looked like the end of the story. But what followed redefined history itself.

This pattern—darkness giving way to breakthrough—continues to echo across generations. Today, as nations wrestle with uncertainty, conflict, and instability, the parallels are difficult to ignore. What appears to be chaos may, in time, reveal itself as a turning point. What feels like shaking may be setting the stage for something greater. And so, a question begins to rise—quietly at first, then with increasing urgency: could this moment, right now, be another turning point?

Scripture calls believers not only to observe the times, but to understand them. “When you see all these things, you know that it is near” (Matthew 24). This is not a call to fear, but to discernment. Not to retreat, but to respond. It is a call to prayer, to clarity, and to a renewed boldness of faith in a time when the world is searching for answers.

And that brings us to the heart of this Easter.

The question is not simply what is happening in Washington… or Tehran… or Caracas… or Havana.

The deeper question is this: Will hearts turn back to God? Because history—and Scripture—both remind us of a profound truth: when hearts begin to turn, everything changes.

A Prayer for Revival and the Last Harvest

Heavenly Father,

we come before You with humble hearts in this hour of global shaking, recognizing that You are the Author of history and the One who holds every nation in Your hands. As uncertainty rises across the world, we ask that You would turn this moment of disruption into a great awakening. Let every crisis become an invitation for hearts to return to You. Pour out Your Spirit across America and the nations—revive Your Church, awaken Your people, and restore a deep hunger for Your presence. Let repentance rise where there has been complacency, truth shine where there has been confusion, and Your glory fill the places that have grown spiritually dry.

Lord, we lift up the nations before You—America, Israel, Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, and beyond. Move in power across the Americas and the Middle East, breaking strongholds, opening doors for the Gospel, and drawing people to Yourself. Stir the hearts of leaders and those in positions of influence, that conversations about eternity would increase and many would turn to You. And Father, we cry out for the last harvest—send forth laborers into Your fields, raise up bold witnesses, and bring a great ingathering of souls. Let prodigals return, let the lost be found, and prepare Your Bride, ready and full of faith. As we remember the resurrection of Jesus Christ this Easter, remind us that You are the God who brings life out of death and victory out of what once seemed like defeat. Do it again, Lord—send revival, bring awakening, and gather the harvest.

In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Nick Shirley’s Viral Investigation Ignites National Firestorm as Questions Mount Over California’s System

A Viral Investigation That Shook the Nation

A shocking investigation led by independent journalist Nick Shirley has ignited a political and cultural firestorm across America, exposing what many are now calling one of the most alarming breakdowns of oversight in modern state governance.

What began as on-the-ground reporting in Los Angeles has erupted into a national conversation—one that reaches far beyond California and into the very foundation of trust between citizens and institutions.

Captured on camera were troubling scenes: questionable enrollment practices, inconsistencies in publicly funded programs, and a system that, according to critics, appears vulnerable to exploitation on a massive scale.

The implications are staggering.

****Support our mission—become a paid subscriber today and help us deliver prophetic insights, hope and economic revelations for these end-times.******

The Numbers That Raise Questions

At the center of the controversy are explosive claims tied to California’s rapidly expanding public spending—particularly within healthcare and social service systems.

• California’s Medicaid program (Medi-Cal) has surged dramatically in recent years

• Reports indicate a sharp rise in hospice-related billing activity

• Investigators allege discrepancies between reported beneficiaries and visible on-site activity

In Los Angeles County alone, the scale of spending has drawn national scrutiny, with some estimates suggesting that a significant portion of federal and state funds flow through systems that lack sufficient verification safeguards.

Whether these findings represent isolated abuses or systemic vulnerabilities remains under investigation—but the scale has captured national attention.

• Revelation 911 reveals the prophetic signs converging before our eyes—are you ready? The #1 bestseller Revelation 911 (Salem Books/Regnery Publishing) by Pastor Paul Begley and bestselling journalist Troy Anderson connects end-times prophecy with breaking global events. This urgent book calls believers to discern the times, anchor their hope in Christ, and be ready for His soon return

On-the-Ground Footage Sparks Outrage

What makes this moment different is not just the claims—it’s the footage.

Journalists documented locations where reported activity appeared inconsistent with official records. Facilities listed as fully operational showed minimal presence. Publicly funded programs appeared disconnected from observable reality.

In one instance, a daycare facility reportedly enrolled dozens of children—yet only a handful were visible during visits.

In another, connections were drawn to previously prosecuted fraud cases involving “ghost enrollments.”

These visuals have fueled public concern and intensified calls for accountability.

A Political Firestorm Erupts

The investigation quickly escalated into a broader political conflict, drawing attention to California leadership.

Critics argue that the response from leadership has raised as many questions as the investigation itself. Some officials have called for investigations. Others have pushed back against the narrative, emphasizing the complexity of large-scale public systems.

But one thing is clear: the story has struck a nerve. With millions of views and widespread sharing across platforms, the issue has moved beyond politics into the national consciousness.

Beyond California: A National Concern

What happens in California rarely remains confined within its borders—and this unfolding situation is no exception. Because much of the funding tied to these programs originates at the federal level, the implications extend far beyond the state itself, reaching taxpayers across the entire nation.

As billions of dollars flow through complex systems designed to serve vulnerable populations, serious questions are now rising to the surface: How effectively are these federal funds being tracked and verified? Are current oversight mechanisms truly equipped to prevent abuse at scale, or have they been outpaced by the sheer size and speed of modern bureaucratic systems? And perhaps most importantly, do the safeguards in place function as intended—or are critical gaps being overlooked?

For a growing number of Americans, this is no longer viewed as a localized issue confined to California, but as a national concern that strikes at the heart of accountability, stewardship, and trust in the systems designed to serve the public good.

• Designated Disrupter: Trump and Other Unlikely Agents of Revival
  (Charisma House/FrontLine, January 6, 2026) | From Pulitzer Prize–nominated journalist and six-time #1 bestselling author Troy Anderson, Designated Disrupter, the #2 “Hot New Release in “Church & State Religious Studies” on Amazon, reveals how God is using “designated disrupters” to confront darkness, disrupt corruption, and awaken a generation now breaking out in revival. Written for obedience. Released for awakening. Order now.

A Deeper Battle: Systems, Power, and Accountability

At its core, this story reaches far beyond allegations of fraud—it reveals a deeper tension embedded within the systems that govern modern society. It is a story about accountability, and ultimately about power: who holds it, how it is exercised, and whether it remains anchored to truth and responsibility. As systems grow larger and more complex, transparency often diminishes, and with that loss of clarity comes an increased risk of mismanagement or abuse.

When oversight weakens, vulnerabilities begin to emerge, and if left unaddressed—whether through neglect, inefficiency, or intentional exploitation—those vulnerabilities can ripple outward with far-reaching consequences. What unfolds, then, is not merely a political controversy shaped by headlines, but a structural challenge that calls into question the integrity of the very systems designed to serve and protect the public.

Federal Crackdown: Trump’s Anti-Fraud Initiative Expands Nationwide

As this story continues to unfold, it is becoming increasingly clear that the implications reach far beyond California. Under the leadership of Donald Trump, the federal government has begun mobilizing a nationwide response to what officials describe as a growing and deeply concerning fraud crisis impacting taxpayer-funded programs.

In early 2026, the administration announced the creation of a new Department of Justice division dedicated specifically to national fraud enforcement—an initiative designed to investigate, expose, and prosecute large-scale abuse across federal systems. This is not a theoretical framework or a future proposal. It is already in motion. Federal agencies have issued thousands of subpoenas, multi-agency investigations are actively underway, and organized fraud networks tied to public programs are now being directly targeted.

According to official statements, the mission is both urgent and precise: to identify, disrupt, and dismantle complex fraud schemes operating across state lines. At the same time, Vice President JD Vance has emerged as a key voice in this effort, highlighting significant fraud discoveries and signaling that investigations may expand further into states such as California.

What makes this moment particularly striking is the convergence now taking place. Independent investigative voices like Nick Shirley, amplified by commentators such as Benny Johnson, are bringing public attention to issues that federal authorities are simultaneously moving to address. Whether one agrees with every claim or not, the alignment is undeniable: independent journalism, public awareness, and federal enforcement are now intersecting in real time—potentially marking the beginning of a much larger national reckoning.

A Watchman Moment

In moments like this, we are reminded of the biblical role of the watchman—not as a voice of accusation without evidence, nor as a source of fear, but as one called to stand alert and shine light where questions remain unanswered. The watchman does not create the storm; he simply warns that it is approaching.

Scripture calls us to discernment—to test what we hear, to seek truth with humility, and to remain anchored in wisdom even as narratives collide around us. We are living in a time when information moves at unprecedented speed, where competing voices shape perception, and where clarity can feel just out of reach. Yet one principle remains unshaken: truth does not fear investigation, and light, when allowed to shine, will always expose what has been hidden.

What Comes Next

As investigations continue and more information comes to light, one thing is certain—this story is far from over. Momentum is building, and with it, increasing calls for comprehensive audits, structural reforms, and potential legal accountability at multiple levels.

At the same time, the role of independent journalism has taken center stage. Operating outside traditional institutional frameworks, these voices are helping to drive national awareness and shape public discourse in real time. Whether one agrees with every conclusion or not, the impact is undeniable: the conversation has begun, the spotlight is widening, and the nation is watching closely as events continue to unfold.

A Watchman’s Call: Discernment and Prayer in a Critical Hour

This is not a moment for panic—it is a moment for discernment. A moment to step back from the noise and ask deeper questions, to pursue truth over narrative, clarity over confusion, and conviction over complacency. In a time when urgency surrounds us on every side, we are reminded that it is not fear that should define our response, but faith—steady, grounded, and anchored in truth.

At the same time, we must remember those who stand on the front lines of exposure and accountability. Whether in government, media, or independent investigation, they often carry a heavy burden—facing scrutiny, opposition, and, at times, personal risk. As watchmen, we are called not only to discern what is unfolding before us, but to lift up these individuals in prayer, covering them with strength, wisdom, and protection as truth continues to come into the light.

Closing Prayer: Covering the Watchmen and the Nation

Heavenly Father,

In this hour of exposure, shaking, and awakening, we come before You seeking truth, clarity, and righteousness.

Lord, we lift up those on the front lines—Nick Shirley and all independent journalists pursuing truth, Benny Johnson and voices bringing hidden matters into the light, and every individual working to uncover what has been concealed. We ask for Your protection over them—physically, spiritually, and mentally.

Father, we lift up President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and all appointed leaders as they carry the weighty responsibility of confronting fraud and restoring accountability. Grant them wisdom beyond human understanding, clarity in every decision, and courage to stand firm in truth. Surround them with integrity, righteous counsel, and unwavering discernment. Shield them from deception, corruption, and every form of undue pressure, and guide their steps according to Your will.

Lord, we pray for America. Where there is corruption, bring exposure; where there is injustice, bring correction; where there is confusion, bring divine clarity. Raise up a generation of watchmen who will not remain silent, and leaders who honor You above all else. Awaken this nation to truth, repentance, and revival, and restore a foundation of righteousness that cannot be shaken. Let justice roll like a river, and righteousness like a never-failing stream.

In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

When truth begins to surface, resistance always follows—but history has shown this time and again: what is exposed cannot be hidden again, and what is brought into the light will ultimately be judged by it.

THE BIBLICAL DESTINY OF IRAN: Persia in Prophecy: The Nation Written into Scripture from Genesis to the Last Days

A Nation the Bible Saw Coming

Iran is dominating the headlines once again. Missile attacks. Nuclear ambitions. Military alliances tightening across the Middle East against Iran. The world watches nervously as tensions escalate and analysts debate what may come next. But for those who study the Bible, Iran is not simply another geopolitical flashpoint.

It is a nation whose story was written into Scripture thousands of years ago. In fact, what we now call Iran appears in the Bible under its ancient name—Persia—and it is mentioned nearly thirty times throughout Scripture. While many modern superpowers are never directly named in the Bible, Persia appears again and again in moments of prophecy, deliverance, judgment, and divine intervention.

That should stop us in our tracks. The God of the Bible was speaking about this nation long before the rise of modern governments, long before the birth of Islam, and long before today’s global tensions. Persia appears in the pages of Scripture not as a historical footnote, but as a key player in the unfolding drama of redemption and the last days.

As the Lord declares in Isaiah 46:10:

“I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come.”

When we examine Iran through the lens of Scripture, we discover something astonishing: the events unfolding in our generation may be part of a prophetic storyline written thousands of years ago.

Persia’s Origins: The Nation Born from the Table of Nations

To understand the prophetic significance of Iran, we must go all the way back to the beginning.

After the Flood, Genesis 10 records the genealogy of the nations. These names are not random historical details. They form what many scholars call the Table of Nations—a prophetic map of how the world would be populated. Among the sons of Japheth appears the name Madai:

“The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan…” (Genesis 10:2)

Madai is widely understood to be the ancestor of the Medes, one of the ancient peoples who settled in the region that would later become Iran. Over time, the Medes joined forces with another Indo-Iranian group known as the Persians, forming the powerful Medo-Persian Empire.

This empire would eventually dominate the ancient world. But Scripture reminds us that the rise of nations is never random. Acts 17:26 tells us:

“From one man he made all the nations… and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.”

Persia did not emerge by accident. Its place in history was already known to God.

• Revelation 911 reveals the prophetic signs converging before our eyes—are you ready? The #1 bestseller Revelation 911 (Salem Books/Regnery Publishing) by Pastor Paul Begley and bestselling journalist Troy Anderson connects end-times prophecy with breaking global events. This urgent book calls believers to discern the times, anchor their hope in Christ, and be ready for His soon return.

Cyrus the Great: The King Named Before He Was Born

One of the most astonishing prophecies in the entire Bible involves a Persian king named Cyrus. More than 150 years before Cyrus was born, the prophet Isaiah recorded these words:

“Who says of Cyrus, ‘He is my shepherd and will accomplish all that I please.’” (Isaiah 44:28)

Even more remarkable, Isaiah calls this future Persian ruler God’s “anointed.” This prophecy was written when Babylon was still dominant and long before Cyrus ever appeared on the world stage.

Yet history unfolded exactly as Scripture predicted. In 539 BC, Cyrus conquered Babylon. Shortly afterward, he issued a decree allowing the Jewish people to return to Jerusalem and rebuild their temple. The book of Ezra records this historic moment:

“The Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia.” (Ezra 1:1)

In other words, God moved the heart of a pagan king to fulfill His covenant promises. Babylon had brought judgment. But Persia became the instrument of restoration.

Persia in the Palace: Esther and the Preservation of Israel

Roughly sixty years after Cyrus issued his decree, another dramatic event unfolded within the Persian Empire. It is the story recorded in the book of Esther.

At the time, the Persian kingdom stretched from India to Ethiopia, ruling over 127 provinces. A high-ranking official named Haman plotted to annihilate the Jewish people throughout the empire. The entire messianic line—the lineage that would eventually lead to Jesus—was under threat.

But God had already positioned someone inside the palace. A young Jewish woman named Esther had become queen. When the moment came, her cousin Mordecai reminded her:

“Who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” (Esther 4:14)

  (Charisma House/FrontLine, January 6, 2026) | From Pulitzer Prize–nominated journalist and six-time #1 bestselling author Troy Anderson, Designated Disrupter, the #2 “Hot New Release in “Church & State Religious Studies” on Amazon, reveals how God is using “designated disrupters” to confront darkness, disrupt corruption, and awaken a generation now breaking out in revival. Written for obedience. Released for awakening. Order now.

Daniel’s Visions: The Rise and Fall of Empires

During Israel’s exile, the prophet Daniel received extraordinary visions revealing the rise and fall of world empires.

In Daniel 2, Nebuchadnezzar dreams of a statue made of multiple metals. Daniel interprets the statue as a sequence of global kingdoms. The chest and arms of silver represent the Medo-Persian Empire. Later, in Daniel 8, the prophecy becomes even clearer. Daniel sees a ram with two horns, and the angel explains:

“The ram which you saw with the two horns—these are the kings of Media and Persia.” (Daniel 8:20)

This prophecy was written two centuries before Persia reached its peak. Even more astonishing, Daniel also predicted the empire’s fall to Alexander the Great. Once again, Persia appears not only in history—but in prophecy.

Persia at the Birth of Christ

One of the most fascinating connections to Persia appears in the story of Jesus’ birth. When Christ was born, wise men from the East came seeking Him.

These men—known as the Magi—were part of a scholarly priestly class often associated with the Medo-Persian world. Many historians believe they came from regions connected to ancient Persia. They followed a star and arrived bearing gifts: Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh.

The first Gentiles recorded in Scripture to worship the newborn Messiah may have come from the very land we now call Iran.

Persia in the Last Days: Ezekiel’s Prophetic Warning

While Persia appears as an instrument of mercy in earlier biblical history, it also appears in one of the most dramatic end-times prophecies. In Ezekiel 38, Persia is listed as part of a coalition of nations that will one day march against Israel.

“Persia, Cush and Put will be with them.” (Ezekiel 38:5)

This coalition—often referred to as the Gog and Magog alliance—is described as invading a restored Israel in the latter days. For centuries that prophecy seemed impossible.

But in 1948, Israel was reborn as a nation. For the first time in nearly two thousand years, the conditions described by Ezekiel exist again. This is why the modern nation of Iran draws so much attention among students of biblical prophecy.

How Persia Became Iran

The name Persia dominated Western history for centuries. But inside the country, the people often referred to their homeland as Iran, derived from an ancient term meaning “land of the Aryans” or “land of the noble people.”

In 1935, the ruling monarch Reza Shah formally requested that foreign governments use the name Iran in diplomatic communication. The ancient land of Persia had not disappeared. It had simply adopted a different name.

The Underground Revival Inside Iran

While Iran’s government is often hostile toward Israel and Christianity, something extraordinary is happening beneath the surface. Reports from missionaries and researchers indicate that Iran may have one of the fastest-growing underground Christian movements in the world. Many converts report encountering Jesus through dreams and visions. Others discover the gospel through secret house churches.

Despite persecution, imprisonment, and surveillance, the church continues to grow. Jesus declared:

“I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” (Matthew 16:18)

Even in nations where governments oppose the gospel, God continues to call people to Himself.

• TWO BOOKS. ONE PROPHETIC WAKE-UP CALL. How Bible prophecy is unfolding in today’s headlines. Revelation 911 and Trump vs. The Beast by Pastor Paul Begley & Troy Anderson

Troy Anderson’s Insight: The Prophetic Middle East

For years, I have studied the prophetic implications of the Middle East and its role in the unfolding biblical timeline. The tensions we see today involving Iran, Israel, and the surrounding nations echo themes explored throughout several of my books.

In Revelation 911, written with Pastor Paul Begley, we examined how biblical prophecy intersects with modern global events and the rising tensions across the Middle East. The book explores how ancient prophetic warnings are increasingly mirrored in today’s geopolitical developments.

In Trump vs. the Beast, we explore the growing spiritual battle surrounding Israel and the geopolitical forces aligning against it—forces that many believe foreshadow the prophetic alliances described in Scripture.

In The Trump Code, I investigate how ancient prophecy, history, and modern political developments may intersect in ways few people realize, suggesting that world events may be moving along patterns foretold long ago.

And in my newest book, Designated Disrupter, I explore how God often raises unlikely leaders and cultural figures during moments of global upheaval—individuals who disrupt entrenched systems and ignite movements that shape both political and spiritual landscapes.

These books are not written to sensationalize headlines. They are written to encourage believers to examine world events through the lens of Scripture, to remain spiritually alert, and to recognize that history is ultimately unfolding according to God’s sovereign plan.

In a world filled with uncertainty, the Bible remains our most reliable guide. When we open Scripture and compare it with the headlines, we are reminded that God saw these moments long before we did—and that He is still in control.

A Watchman’s Call for Our Generation

The story of Persia reminds us of something crucial. God raises nations. God uses nations. And God judges nations. Persia once helped restore Israel under Cyrus. It preserved the Jewish people through Esther. It appeared in Daniel’s visions. And it appears again in Ezekiel’s end-times prophecy.

This is not coincidence. It is divine authorship. Jesus warned in Matthew 24:6:

“You will hear of wars and rumors of wars… but see to it that you are not alarmed.”

The role of Persia in prophecy is not meant to frighten us. It is meant to awaken us. A call to watch. A call to pray. A call to preach the gospel while there is still time. Because when the final chapter of history is written, every nation—including Persia—will bow before the King of Kings.

A Watchman’s Prayer for Iran and the Nations

Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your Word that reveals the past, the present, and the future. You are the God who rules over nations and kings, and nothing happens outside Your sovereign plan. Lord, we lift up the nation of Iran before You. We pray that You would restrain evil, bring peace where there is conflict, and frustrate every plan that stands against Your purposes.

We pray especially for the people of Iran. Pour out Your Spirit upon them. Strengthen the underground church, protect believers who gather in secret, and reveal Jesus Christ to many through dreams, visions, and the truth of the gospel. Raise up a generation in Iran who will follow You boldly and proclaim Your name.

Pastor Paul Begley Reports from India as Conflict Escalates Near the Strait of Hormuz

Part 1 | The Coming Apocalypse Broadcast

As geopolitical tensions surge across the Middle East amid the conflict with Iran and global markets tremble under the weight of rising oil prices and expanding military engagements, Pastor Paul Begley delivered a sobering update from India during a special broadcast of The Coming Apocalypse.

Speaking from the mission field in Odisha following the first night of a powerful evangelistic crusade, Pastor Begley described the current global climate in stark terms:

“It’s apocalyptic. It’s Middle East madness. And the world is watching prophecy unfold before our eyes.”

The broadcast, fittingly titled “Middle East Madness,” painted a sweeping picture of escalating war, prophetic interpretation, and emerging developments that could profoundly reshape global stability.

Revival in India Amid Global Turmoil

While the headlines are dominated by war and uncertainty, Pastor Begley began by sharing encouraging reports from India, where thousands gathered for revival services.

The first crusade meeting drew massive crowds under a large tent as Pastor Paul and Heidi Begley ministered to the people with prayer, worship, and the Word. According to reports from the team on the ground, nearly 1,000 people received prayer, the atmosphere was filled with singing, dancing, and celebration, and many experienced the presence of God in a powerful and unforgettable way.

A special evening concert led by musician Israel Hall added to the spiritual momentum. His saxophone performance blended seamlessly with local worship teams, creating what Pastor Begley described as an atmosphere where “the Spirit of God filled the entire congregation.”

Heidi Begley also delivered a moving message centered on the biblical story of Hagar, reminding those in attendance that God sees and cares for those who feel forgotten, overlooked, or abandoned.

“Sometimes we feel like we are alone in the wilderness,” she shared. “But God says, ‘I see you.’”

Despite the exhaustion of travel and nonstop ministry, Pastor Begley emphasized that the mission continues as the team travels to additional cities across India for further crusade meetings.

A New Iranian Leader Raises Global Alarm

Turning to world events, Pastor Begley addressed the emergence of a new figure in Iran’s leadership: Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the late Ayatollah. In his first reported statement since assuming authority, the new Iranian leader declared that the Strait of Hormuz should remain closed as leverage against the United States, while also warning that attacks on regional adversaries would continue.

This narrow waterway—only about 21 miles wide at its tightest point—is one of the most critical oil corridors in the world. Nearly one-third of global oil shipments move through the strait, making it one of the most strategic choke points in international commerce. The implications of a prolonged closure could be catastrophic.

More than 150 oil tankers are reportedly stranded in the Gulf of Oman, unable to safely pass through the region as tensions intensify. Oil prices have already surged above $100 per barrel, with warnings that they could climb as high as $145 per barrel if the crisis persists. Meanwhile, maritime risk has risen so sharply that shipping insurance in the region is reportedly beginning to collapse.

A War of Proxies and Economic Pressure

According to Pastor Begley, Iran’s military strategy differs dramatically from conventional warfare. While the United States and its allies have reportedly launched thousands of strikes against Iranian military infrastructure—including naval assets, weapons stockpiles, and missile systems—the Iranian regime has invested heavily in other forms of confrontation. Rather than competing directly with Western military power, Iran has focused its resources on:

• Proxy militias across the Middle East

• Drone warfare, both aerial and underwater

• Missile attacks targeting neighboring nations

• Maritime sabotage operations in the Strait of Hormuz

Recent incidents underscore the growing danger:

• A U.S. oil tanker was struck, killing one crew member and injuring others

• A Thai tanker caught fire, leaving several crew members missing

• A Japanese vessel was hit and sustained damage

• Multiple ships have reportedly encountered mine and drone attacks

These assaults appear designed not only to destabilize the region, but also to disrupt global trade and energy markets, increasing economic pressure on Western nations. Pastor Begley noted that Iran understands the political dynamics of the West all too well.

“They know people may not care about war overseas—but they will care when gasoline prices rise.”

• Designated Disrupter: Trump and Other Unlikely Agents of Revival
  (Charisma House/FrontLine, January 6, 2026) | From Pulitzer Prize–nominated journalist and six-time #1 bestselling author Troy Anderson, Designated Disrupter, the #2 “Hot New Release in “Church & State Religious Studies” on Amazon, reveals how God is using “designated disrupters” to confront darkness, disrupt corruption, and awaken a generation now breaking out in revival. Written for obedience. Released for awakening. Order now.

Dubai Targeted as Economic Warfare Expands

Another alarming development involves missile strikes targeting Dubai, the economic hub of the Middle East. The United Arab Emirates hosts a vast international population, with nearly 9 million expatriates living among roughly 10 million residents. Dubai has become a global center for finance, commodities trading, shipping, and international business.

Strikes near the airport and major hotels have heightened fears that Iran’s strategy may now include targeting the region’s economic infrastructure in addition to its military and maritime networks. If the Strait of Hormuz is the energy artery of the world, Dubai may well be considered the financial heartbeat of the Middle East.

Prophecy Watch: Ancient Warnings Revisited

During the broadcast, Pastor Begley also referenced ancient Jewish writings that some believe contain prophetic insight into Middle Eastern conflict.

One such text describes a scenario in which Persia—understood by many as modern-day Iran—provokes surrounding nations, triggering global panic and widespread war. The prophecy also references a final maritime conflict occurring in the same region now dominating the headlines: the Strait of Hormuz.

Pastor Begley carefully noted that these writings are not biblical scripture, but he pointed to the striking parallels between their descriptions and the current geopolitical moment. At the same time, students of biblical prophecy have long pointed to passages such as:

• Revelation 9, describing destructive forces associated with the Euphrates region

• Ezekiel 38, detailing a future conflict involving Middle Eastern powers

• Matthew 24, warning of wars and rumors of wars in the last days

Begley believes many of these prophetic themes are beginning to converge in a dramatic way.

“For years we could see prophecy lining up,” he said. “Now we’re watching it happen in real time.”

A Mysterious Disappearance Raises Questions

Adding another layer of intrigue to the broadcast, Pastor Begley also highlighted the mysterious disappearance of Retired U.S. Air Force Major General William Neil McCaslin, who has reportedly been missing for nearly two weeks.

According to Begley, the former general had previously commanded installations associated with classified UFO and UAP research programs, including assignments connected to Area 51 and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

His disappearance reportedly came shortly after President Donald Trump directed federal agencies to release previously classified information related to extraterrestrial phenomena. The timing has led some analysts and researchers to question whether the incident is merely coincidental—or connected in some way to the growing conversation surrounding so-called “alien disclosure.”

A World on Fire

For Pastor Begley, the current moment represents the convergence of multiple crises at once:

• Expanding Middle East conflict

• Global economic instability

• Rising oil prices

• Increasing geopolitical tension

• Emerging disclosure narratives

• Intensifying prophetic speculation

“I have never seen so many prophecies in motion at the same time,” Begley said during the broadcast.

He pointed to the rapid pace of world events as evidence that humanity may be entering a pivotal and deeply consequential period in history.

Watching the Signs

For believers and watchmen alike, the events unfolding across the Middle East serve as a sobering reminder of Scripture’s call to remain alert. The Bible warns that the last days will be marked by wars, rumors of wars, and global upheaval. Yet even in such times, the message of hope remains unchanged. Jesus said:

“When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
— Luke 21:28

Part 2: Pastor Paul Begley and Mike from Around the World

Strategic Warnings in a World on Fire: As Middle East conflict deepens, economic tremors spread, and disclosure narratives intensify, Pastor Paul turns to Mike from Around the World for insight

As Pastor Paul Begley’s The Coming Apocalypse broadcast moved deeper into the rapidly escalating crisis across the Middle East, the conversation shifted from breaking headlines to deeper analysis.

That’s when Pastor Begley brought in a familiar voice for longtime viewers—Mike from Around the World, a figure many followers associate with discussions about global security developments, emerging technologies, and long-range geopolitical trends.

With oil prices surging, tankers under attack, and tensions rising around the Strait of Hormuz, Pastor Begley made it clear that the situation unfolding across the region may be far more complex—and far more dangerous—than the nightly news suggests.

“Mike,” Begley said, “people are watching missiles fly and ships burn. But what kind of war are we really looking at right now?”

According to Mike, the conflict now taking shape cannot be understood as a traditional battlefield confrontation. It is something far more layered.

A War That Was Years in the Making

Mike explained that Iran has spent years preparing for a form of warfare designed not to defeat Western military power directly, but to destabilize the global systems that support it.

Rather than matching the United States ship for ship or aircraft for aircraft, Iran has invested heavily in what analysts often call asymmetrical warfare—a strategy built around disruption, proxy forces, and economic pressure.

This strategy includes:

• Proxy militias operating throughout the Middle East

• Coordinated missile campaigns through allied groups such as Hezbollah

• Maritime sabotage targeting commercial shipping

• Drone warfare conducted both in the air and underwater

• Attacks aimed at destabilizing global energy supply routes

Mike explained that the objective is not necessarily to win a conventional military victory. The objective is to make the cost of conflict so painful that global pressure forces political retreat.

Pastor Begley agreed, noting that such tactics target far more than soldiers or military installations. They target the everyday lives of millions of people.

When shipping routes are disrupted, oil prices surge. When oil prices surge, inflation rises. And when inflation rises, political pressure spreads across nations. In other words, the battlefield expands far beyond the Middle East.

• TWO BOOKS. ONE PROPHETIC WAKE-UP CALL. How Bible prophecy is unfolding in today’s headlines. Revelation 911 and Trump vs. The Beast by Pastor Paul Begley & Troy Anderson

The Strait of Hormuz: The World’s Energy Trigger

At the center of the discussion was the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow maritime corridor that serves as one of the most critical oil passages on the planet. Nearly one-third of the world’s seaborne oil shipments pass through this narrow stretch of water each day.

Mike described the strait as one of the most fragile pressure points in the global economic system. If shipping becomes unsafe—or if insurance markets refuse to cover vessels traveling through the region—the consequences could ripple across international markets almost immediately. Already, more than a hundred oil tankers are reportedly stalled or rerouting their journeys as maritime risk continues to climb.

Oil prices have already surged past $100 per barrel, and some analysts warn they could climb significantly higher if instability continues. Mike emphasized that disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz rarely remain regional.

“When something breaks in that corridor,” he explained, “the shock moves through the global economy very quickly.”

Energy markets, shipping lanes, insurance systems, and supply chains are all interconnected. What begins as a regional conflict can rapidly evolve into a global economic shock.

The Expanding Conflict Zone

Pastor Begley also pointed to signs that the conflict may already be expanding beyond a single front. Israel remains under pressure not only from Iran itself but also from regional proxies such as Hezbollah in Lebanonand militant networks operating throughout the region.

Meanwhile, new concerns are emerging around Dubai and the United Arab Emirates, which function as major financial and commercial hubs for the Middle East. Dubai in particular sits at the intersection of global finance, shipping, and energy markets. If attacks begin targeting infrastructure or economic centers there, the consequences could reverberate far beyond the region.

Pastor Begley warned that such strikes could represent a new phase of the conflict—one aimed not simply at military targets, but at confidence in the global economic system itself. Mike agreed that economic confidence is one of the pillars holding global markets together. Once that confidence begins to erode, instability can spread quickly.

The Prophetic Dimension

Throughout the discussion, Pastor Begley repeatedly returned to what he believes is the deeper spiritual dimension behind the unfolding crisis. For decades, students of biblical prophecy have pointed to passages such as:

• Ezekiel 38, describing a massive future conflict involving Middle Eastern powers

• Matthew 24, where Jesus warned of wars and rumors of wars in the last days

• Revelation 9, which speaks of destructive forces emerging near the Euphrates region

Begley suggested that the rising tensions surrounding Persia—modern-day Iran—and the broader Middle East have long been viewed through a prophetic lens.

“For years we could see the pieces beginning to line up,” he said.
“Now those pieces appear to be moving faster than ever.”

Mike acknowledged that the speed of global change has accelerated dramatically. Military tensions, economic uncertainty, technological disruption, and political instability are now intersecting in ways that few analysts predicted even a decade ago.

A Convergence of Global Pressures

As the segment drew toward its conclusion, Pastor Begley reflected on the extraordinary convergence of events now unfolding across the world. In his view, humanity may be entering a period where multiple global pressures collide simultaneously:

• Expanding regional wars

• Energy market instability

• Rising geopolitical tension

• Rapid technological change

• Growing public interest in extraterrestrial disclosure

• Increasing prophetic speculation

Mike noted that when multiple global systems come under strain at the same time, instability can spread rapidly. Events that appear unrelated often turn out to be interconnected pieces of a larger picture.

A Watchman’s Moment

For Pastor Begley, this moment represents more than another geopolitical crisis. It represents a watchman’s moment—a time when believers must remain spiritually alert and grounded in Scripture.

“Too many things are happening at once,” Begley said.
“Too many signals are flashing.”

For those who study prophecy and watch the signs of the times, this is not a season for complacency. It is a season for discernment, prayer, and unwavering faith. Because even as nations rage and the earth trembles, Scripture reminds believers that history remains firmly in the hands of God. As Jesus said:

“And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.”
— Mark 13:37

Troy’s Insight: Connecting the Headlines to the Prophetic Warnings

The rapidly unfolding crisis in the Middle East brings to mind many of the themes Pastor Paul Begley and I explored together in our book Revelation 911.

When we wrote that book, our goal was never to predict specific dates or sensationalize world events. Instead, we examined how rising global instability—wars, economic shocks, technological disruption, and spiritual deception—could one day converge in ways that resemble the prophetic warnings found in the Book of Revelation.

Today, many of those same forces appear to be accelerating.

We are witnessing expanding conflicts across the Middle East, growing tension between global powers, economic uncertainty affecting energy markets and trade systems, and an increasing public conversation about subjects that were once considered fringe—including government discussions surrounding unidentified aerial phenomena and extraterrestrial disclosure.

In our sequel, Trump vs. the Beast, Pastor Paul and I continued exploring these themes, examining how political upheaval, global power struggles, and spiritual warfare could intersect with the prophetic timeline described in Scripture.

Our intention has never been to claim that we know exactly how these events will unfold. Biblical prophecy must always be approached with humility, discernment, and a careful study of God’s Word. Yet Scripture also encourages believers to remain watchful—to understand the times and to seek wisdom as world events unfold.

As global tensions intensify and headlines grow more dramatic, I am reminded that the Bible consistently teaches that history is not random or chaotic. God sees the end from the beginning.

For believers, that truth brings hope.

No matter how uncertain the world may appear, the ultimate story of history has already been written—and it ends with the victory of Christ.

That is why our response in times like these must not be fear. Our response must be faith, prayer, and a renewed commitment to sharing the hope of the Gospel.

“And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.”
— Mark 13:37.

A Prayer for Peace, Wisdom and Discernment in Dangerous Times

Heavenly Father,

We come before You in a time of conflict, confusion, and rising uncertainty across the world. We lift up the nations before You and ask for Your mercy, Your wisdom, and Your divine protection over innocent lives caught in the middle of war, instability, and fear.

Lord, calm the storms of violence and guide the hearts of leaders toward peace, justice, and restraint. Protect those in danger, strengthen those who are suffering, and bring comfort to those who are afraid. We ask You to expose every work of darkness and to frustrate every plan that seeks to spread terror, destruction, and deception.

Father, give Your people discernment in these prophetic days. Help us to see clearly, hear Your voice above the noise, and remain steady in faith as world events intensify. Guard our hearts from fear and our minds from confusion. Teach us to watch, to pray, and to stay grounded in Your Word.

Strengthen Your Church to stand boldly for truth. Raise up faithful watchmen who will remain alert, courageous, and full of hope. Help us to continue sharing the light of the Gospel in every corner of the earth, even as darkness seems to increase.

And Lord, remind us that our hope is not in the systems of this world, but in You alone. You are our refuge, our strength, and our peace in every storm.

May Your light shine through the darkness, and may Your kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.

The Iran War, Nephilim, and UFO Disclosure: Are We Entering the Final Deception?

Breaking: War in Iran, Global Shockwaves, and the Mystery of “Alien Disclosure” | Pastor Paul Begley with Mike From Around the World

In one of the most dramatic geopolitical developments of the year, Pastor Paul Begley opened his broadcast with an astonishing claim: a war that had been predicted just days earlier has now erupted in the Middle East.

What makes this moment even more startling is not only the speed of events—but the unusual theory being discussed behind the scenes.

During the last broadcast, analyst Mike from Around the World warned that a conflict involving Iran could begin within days. According to Pastor Begley, Mike predicted the war would begin on Saturday.

That prediction, Begley said, appears to have come true.

Now, six days into the conflict, the geopolitical landscape across the Middle East has shifted dramatically—and a new and controversial discussion has emerged: a possible connection between the Iran war and what some are calling “alien disclosure.”

While the topic may sound extraordinary, Begley told viewers that it was a subject Mike himself raised prior to the war starting.

And now, with the conflict unfolding rapidly, Begley says it’s time to revisit the question.

****Support our mission—become a paid subscriber today and help us deliver prophetic insights, hope and economic revelations for these end-times.******

PART 1—Pastor Begley: The War Has Begun

Opening the broadcast with urgency, Pastor Begley addressed viewers directly.

“Mike from around the world brought this up last week… the war had not started yet in Iran. Mike was predicting the war was going to start on Saturday.”

According to Begley, the prediction was made during the previous Thursday broadcast—before any military conflict had officially begun.

He said he initially chose not to pursue the topic further at the time.

“I did not push it. It was late in the broadcast… and the war hadn’t started yet.”

But now, events have changed dramatically.

Begley explained that within just a week, the region has experienced an unprecedented escalation.

He described massive military operations involving the United States and Israel targeting Iran’s military infrastructure.

According to the broadcast, the reported developments include:

• Iranian nuclear facilities being struck

• Military airfields and missile infrastructure destroyed

• Iranian naval forces reportedly sunk

• Control of Iranian airspace shifting to U.S. and Israeli forces

• Multiple waves of bombing campaigns

Begley said the speed of events has been staggering.

“It’s absolutely unthinkable how much has happened on a global scale everywhere.”

He emphasized that the campaign is aimed not at the Iranian people, but at dismantling the radical leadership structure controlling the regime.

Meanwhile, Iran has responded by launching missiles and drone attacks across multiple nations throughout the region.

Begley said that more than a dozen countries have been targeted in some form during the escalating conflict, including Israel and several Gulf states.

The situation has created one of the most complex geopolitical crises in recent years.

Yet Begley believes something even more mysterious may be unfolding behind the scenes.

The Strange Question: Why Did Mike Link the War to “Alien Disclosure”?

Perhaps the most surprising moment of the broadcast came when Begley revisited the unusual claim made the week prior.

According to Begley, Mike from Around the World suggested there may be a connection between the Iran conflict and the ongoing conversation about UFOs and extraterrestrial encounters.

Begley admitted that when the comment was first made, he did not pursue it.

But now that the war has erupted, he says the timing is raising new questions.

“Mike said the alien disclosure is tied to the Iranian war.”

Begley told viewers he intended to ask Mike directly what he meant by that statement.

The conversation included several topics that have circulated for years among researchers and military observers, including:

• The famous 1976 UFO encounter over Tehran, when Iranian fighter jets reportedly attempted to intercept an unidentified object.

• Reports of strange encounters and unexplained phenomena during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

• Allegations that ancient artifacts or underground structures may exist in the region.

• Claims of possible “portals,” “stargates,” or dimensional anomalies discussed in fringe military research circles.

Begley acknowledged that many of these claims remain controversial and unverified.

But he also noted that government conversations about UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomena have dramatically increased in recent years, including congressional hearings and military disclosures.

That timing—combined with the sudden outbreak of war—has led some observers to wonder whether deeper forces are at work.

Begley summarized the mystery this way:

“Why bring that up before the war even started?”

Part 2 — Pastor Begley Interviews Mike From Around The World

Last week’s discussion left thousands of viewers asking the same question:

How could the war with Iran possibly be connected to UFO disclosure and biblical prophecy?

During Part 2 of the broadcast, Pastor Paul Begley welcomed Mike from Around the World to expand on the explosive statements he made previously — including his prediction that the war could begin on Saturday.

And it did.

Now the conversation moved deeper.

Not just into geopolitics…
But into the spiritual dimension behind the conflict.

The War With Iran Is Expanding

Mike began by explaining that the military objective right now is focused on one key goal:

Destroy Iran’s missile launch infrastructure.

According to Mike, Iran possesses far more launch systems than the public realizes, which is why the campaign could take weeks.

“You wouldn’t believe how many launchers they actually had,” he said.
“Our forces are actively hunting them right now.”

At the same time, new geopolitical developments are unfolding rapidly.

• Communications between Russia, China, and North Korea are increasing.

• Ukrainian forces may redeploy toward the Middle East if the Russian front cools.

• Kurdish forces are assisting in countering Iranian drone operations.

Iran has also used a dangerous strategy:

Launching cheap drones and low-cost missiles to drain U.S. air defense systems.

This tactic forces opposing forces to expend expensive interception missiles.

While new defenses like laser and microwave systems are being used, Mike warned that:

“There are no promises when it comes to casualties.
It is war.”

Why Iran Is Different

One surprising point Mike emphasized was that Iran’s military operations have often been precise and calculated.

He noted that Iran sometimes announces targets ahead of time—and then strikes them successfully.

This suggests the regime may possess unexpected technological capabilities.

But according to Mike, the true story goes much deeper than military technology.

To understand it, he said we must go all the way back to the Bible.

Genesis 6 and the Nephilim

Mike explained that the spiritual roots of the conflict trace back to Genesis 6, where the Bible describes the appearance of the Nephilim.

These were the offspring produced when fallen angels interacted with human women.

The resulting beings were described as:

• giants

• warriors

• “men of renown”

When they died, their spirits were not allowed to leave the earth.

According to this interpretation, those spirits became what the Bible refers to as unclean spirits or demons.

Mike explained:

“Because they were both angel and man, their spirits were bound to the earth.”

These entities, he said, have influenced human history for thousands of years.

Many ancient empires and warlords were believed to have operated under their influence.

Pre-order Trump vs. The Beast (Humanix Books/Newsmax Media, May 5, 2026) by Pastor Paul Begley and Troy Anderson.

Why the Middle East Matters

According to Mike, the Middle East contains the highest concentration of these spiritual forces.

He described the region as their historic “home turf.”

This belief connects to biblical accounts where Israel encountered giant tribes when entering Canaan.

Mike suggested that as conflicts intensify in the region, spiritual forces tied to that history may become more active.

He warned that warfare in these areas can trigger unusual experiences among soldiers.

Some troops have reported encounters they cannot explain — including strange lights, unexplained creatures, or other paranormal events.

UFO Sightings and Spiritual Manifestations

Mike then addressed the controversial link between UFO sightings and spiritual activity.

According to him, some phenomena that people interpret as alien spacecraft could actually be manifestations of spiritual entities.

He explained that these entities can influence human perception and create appearances designed to draw attention or curiosity.

If people begin seeking further interaction, they may unknowingly open spiritual doors.

“Once someone desires to see it again,” Mike said,
“they can begin opening dialogue with something they don’t understand.”

This, he warned, can lead to serious spiritual consequences.

Why UFO Activity May Increase

Mike believes the war with Iran could cause a global increase in unexplained phenomena.

His reasoning is based on the idea that if powerful spiritual forces tied to the region are disrupted, their influence could spread elsewhere.

If that happens, the world may begin seeing:

• more unexplained lights in the sky

• more encounters reported globally

• increasing paranormal activity

He described it this way:

“It will spread like a virus.
High strangeness will appear everywhere.”

Over time, people may become desensitized to these events, accepting them as normal.

  In The Trump Code, Pulitzer Prize–nominated investigative journalist Troy Anderson takes readers on a gripping journey through history, prophecy, and current events—revealing astonishing connections between biblical patterns, America’s destiny, and the Trump phenomenon. From time travel theories and Nikola Tesla to hidden lineages and prophetic turning points, this explosive bestseller challenges conventional narratives and calls readers to discern the times we are living in.

Preparing the World for Deception

This desensitization, Mike believes, could prepare humanity for a massive deception.

If people become accustomed to supernatural phenomena, they may eventually accept a false explanation for them.

This is where Mike believes the biblical concept of the Antichrist deception could enter.

He warned that the greatest spiritual battle may not be physical warfare — but a battle for belief itself.

The ultimate goal, he said, would be to convince people to abandon faith in Christ.

The Real Battle Is Spiritual

Pastor Begley agreed that the struggle facing humanity is deeper than politics or military conflict.

He pointed to the Book of Revelation, which describes numerous supernatural creatures appearing during the end-time events, as we explored in greater depth in our book Revelation 911: How the Book of Revelation Intersects with Today’s Headlines (Salem Books/Regnery Publishing/Skyhorse Publishing).

These include:

• beings from the abyss

• strange locust-like entities

• dragons and beasts

The Bible clearly depicts a time when the spiritual realm becomes visible on earth.

Mike believes humanity may be moving toward that moment.

The Importance of Faith

Despite the alarming topics discussed, both men emphasized one critical message: Faith in Christ is the protection against deception.

Mike explained that deception works by appealing to human desires and curiosity. But those who remain grounded in truth will not be misled. He reminded listeners of an important biblical principle:

Satan cannot deceive someone who refuses to accept deception.

Ultimately, every person must choose which path to follow.

Two Roads Before Humanity

Pastor Begley closed the discussion by reminding viewers of Jesus’ words: There are two roads before humanity.

One is wide and leads to destruction. The other is narrow and leads to life. Every person must decide which road they will follow. And in a time of growing confusion, spiritual deception, and global conflict…

That decision may soon become the most important choice anyone can make.

Troy’s Perspective

Why This Story Matters Now

As I listened to Pastor Paul Begley and Mike from Around the World discuss the war with Iran, the rise in so-called alien disclosure, and the possibility of a deeper spiritual dimension behind these events, I found myself reflecting on themes Pastor Paul and I have been warning about for years.

In our book Revelation 911, we explored the sobering possibility that the world is moving toward a convergence of prophetic signs unlike anything we have seen in modern history — wars and rumors of wars, growing global chaos, technological control systems, spiritual deception, and a rising atmosphere of fear that prepares humanity to accept false answers in desperate times. What once sounded extreme to some readers now feels uncomfortably close.

What struck me most in this discussion is how quickly the conversation moved beyond geopolitics and into the supernatural. That matters, because one of the central messages Pastor Paul and I have tried to communicate is this: the greatest battle of our time is not merely political, military, or economic — it is spiritual.

That same burden also runs through our new book Trump vs. the Beast: The Ten King Prophecy & Bible’s Revelation of Coming Final Days (Humanix Books/Newsmax Media, May 4, 2026). In that book, I examine how the world is being conditioned for a system of deception that goes far beyond headlines and election cycles. The “Beast” system described in Scripture is not simply one future politician or one isolated event. It is a global architecture of control, propaganda, compromise, seduction, and counterfeit power — a system that seeks to draw humanity away from truth and ultimately away from Jesus Christ.

That is why this conversation about Iran, Nephilim, and UFO disclosure is so significant.

Whether every claim made by various commentators proves accurate is not the main issue. The larger issue is that millions of people around the world are increasingly open to explanations that remove God from the center and replace biblical truth with counterfeit narratives. If society can be persuaded to interpret spiritual manifestations as merely extraterrestrial phenomena, advanced technology, or evolutionary destiny, then the door is opened wider for the kind of end-times deception Jesus warned about.

Scripture tells us plainly that deception will intensify in the last days. The apostle Paul warned of “strong delusion.” Jesus warned that false signs and wonders would be so persuasive that, if it were possible, even the elect would be deceived. The book of Revelation reveals a world intoxicated by false worship, false power, and false peace.

That is why discernment matters now more than ever.

As an investigative journalist, I believe in asking hard questions. As a Christian, I also believe we must test everything against the Word of God. We cannot afford to be naive. We cannot afford to be spiritually asleep. And we certainly cannot afford to let fascination with the mysterious pull us away from the truth of the gospel.

Pastor Paul and I wrote Revelation 911 to sound the alarm. I wrote Trump vs. the Beast because I believe the shadows of that system are already gathering around us. What we are seeing now — war in the Middle East, increasing instability, strange narratives going mainstream, and the growing normalization of the supernatural apart from God — should not drive us into fear. It should drive us to our knees.

This is not the hour for panic.
This is the hour for prayer.
This is the hour for clarity.
This is the hour to fix our eyes on Jesus Christ.

Because in the end, the answer to deception is not more speculation.
The answer is truth.
And truth is a Person.

His name is Jesus.

A Powerful Prayer

Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, humbling ourselves before Your throne and asking for Your mercy, Your wisdom, and Your divine protection in this critical hour.

Lord, the nations are shaking. Wars are rising. Fear is spreading. Strange and troubling voices are multiplying across the earth. But You are not shaken. You are still on the throne. You are still the King of kings and the Lord of lords. You are still the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.

Father, we ask first for discernment. In an age of confusion, deception, and counterfeit signs, help us to recognize truth from error. Guard our hearts and minds from every lie of the enemy. Keep us from fascination with darkness. Keep us anchored in Your Word, filled with Your Spirit, and led by Your peace.

Lord, we pray for President Trump, his family, his team, and all leaders in positions of authority. Surround them with godly counsel. Expose every hidden plot, every betrayal, every wicked scheme formed against them. Strengthen them where they are weary. Protect them where they are vulnerable. Let no weapon formed against them prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned.

We pray for Israel, for the people of Iran, for the innocent across the Middle East, and for all those caught in the fires of war. Lord, restrain evil. Protect the innocent. Bring justice against the wicked. And let Your purposes prevail in the earth.

Father, we pray against every spirit of deception, fear, confusion, lawlessness, and antichrist influence seeking to sweep across the nations. In the name of Jesus, we bind every assignment of darkness that seeks to blind people to the truth of the gospel. We ask You to tear down strongholds, expose hidden works of darkness, and awaken the church with fresh fire, holiness, boldness, and power.

Lord, revive Your people.

Let the fear of the Lord return to the church.
Let purity return to the pulpit.
Let power return to prayer.
Let hunger return to worship.
Let truth return to the center of our lives.

Raise up watchmen who will not be silent. Raise up intercessors who will travail in prayer. Raise up bold believers who will stand for truth without compromise. And let a great harvest of souls come into the kingdom in this hour.

We pray for every reader of this report. Cover them and their families with the blood of Jesus. Strengthen their faith. Calm their fears. Sharpen their discernment. Fill their homes with peace, protection, and the presence of the Holy Spirit.

And Lord, if anyone reading this does not yet know You, draw them now by Your Spirit. Open their eyes. Soften their heart. Reveal Jesus to them in power, mercy, and love.

We declare that Jesus Christ is Lord.
We declare that truth will triumph over deception.
We declare that light will overcome darkness.
We declare that no matter how intense the battle becomes, the Lamb will have the final victory.

In the mighty name of Jesus,
Amen.

Dear Revelation Watchers Family,

In a time when the world feels shaken by uncertainty, God is reminding us of an eternal truth: Heaven is real.

We are honored to share that I’ve Been to Heaven has officially landed at #23 on the ECPA Christian Bestsellers List in “Christian New Releases.”

At a time in history when wars, rumors of wars, and division fill the headlines, the Lord has elevated an inspirational testimony that pulls back the veil between Heaven and Earth and points our eyes to Jesus Christ.

A Journey Beyond the Veil

When Steve Boyls was placed on a ventilator for forty-five days and fought for his life in the ICU during COVID-19, the battle was not only medical — it was spiritual.

While his wife, Dr. Kathy Boyls, waged prayer warfare on earth, Steve was ushered into Heaven.

He witnessed:

• Unspeakable beauty
• Overwhelming joy
• A reunion with the son lost through miscarriage
• Encounters with friends, loved ones — and even beloved pets
• And a powerful, unforgettable meeting with Jesus

One of the most moving elements of his testimony is his encounter with Christ and the breathtaking vision of His warhorses — a scene that echoes Revelation’s promise of the returning King.

“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes…” — Revelation 21:4

This message could not be more timely.

Why This Matters Now

The rise of this book onto the ECPA Bestseller list is not merely about sales numbers.

It signals something deeper.

God is stirring hearts to remember:

• Eternity is real
• Jesus is alive
• Miracles still happen
• And the King is coming back

As Revelation Watchers, we discern the times. We see the shaking. But we also see the glory.

In seasons of global tension and prophetic acceleration, Heaven’s testimony breaks through with hope.
