Prophecy Update #836 – Elam’s Comin’

contact@calvaryhanford.com (Calvary Hanford) — Sun, 15 Mar 2026 18:04:04 +0000

Let’s talk about Iran. It’s ancient biblical name was Persia. Its southwestern region is Elam.

If you’re even a little familiar with Bible prophecy, you know Scripture predicts that in the last days a coalition of nations will invade Israel. Iran is specifically listed among them. A less discussed prophecy can be found in the Book of Jeremiah.

Prophecy Update #836 | Elam’s Comin’ | Bible Prophecy and Iran

In this Prophecy Update, we turn our attention to the Middle East and the nation of Iran, known anciently as Persia and Elam. As students of the Word of God, we recognize that the Bible provides a framework for understanding global shifts, particularly those involving Israel and her neighbors. While many are familiar with the Ezekiel 38 coalition, the Book of Jeremiah contains a specific, often overlooked prophecy regarding the fate of Elam. This video explores the geopolitical movements currently unfolding and how they might align with the scriptures found in Jeremiah 49.

The prophet Jeremiah spoke of a day when the bow of Elam would be broken, leading to a military collapse, a global dispersion of its people, and a significant political overthrow. We look at current events, including the reported state of Iran’s military capabilities and the vast diaspora of the Iranian people, to see if the stage is being set for these biblical events. Our goal is not to declare that these specific headlines are the definitive fulfillment of Jeremiah 49, but rather to observe how current trends in the Middle East are readying the world for the return of Jesus Christ.

What the Bible Says About the Future of Iran

Jeremiah 49:34-39 outlines a sequence of judgment and eventual restoration. We examine the four key predictions made by the prophet:

The collapse of military might.

The scattering of the population to the four winds.

The removal of the king and princes.

The promise of a future restoration in the latter days.

As we witness an exponential increase in knowledge, the push for global government, and the rapid development of a global economy, the signs of the times suggest we are approaching the Great Tribulation. For the believer in Jesus Christ, these developments should serve as an encouragement to stay ready. We hold to the blessed hope of the Rapture, believing that the Lord will call His church home before the period of judgment begins.

Whether you are part of a Calvary Chapel church or simply someone searching for the truth about Israel and Bible prophecy, we invite you to study the Word with us. The movements we see in Iran and across the globe are reminders that the Bible is reliable and that the coming of the Lord is near.

Prophecy Update #835 – The Big 10

I’m going to introduce us to a map of North America. It is an old map, but it is contemporary as well. It’s the Technate Map of America.

In this Prophecy Update #835, titled “The Big 10,” we explore the striking alignment between historical geopolitical movements and the biblical roadmap for the end times. By examining the “Technate Map of America”—a blueprint first published in 1940 by Howard Scott—we see a vision for a unified North America that predates modern globalist initiatives but mirrors them with unsettling accuracy.

From a conservative, evangelical perspective, we know that nothing in history happens outside of God’s sovereign timeline. This update dives into the origins of Technocracy, an “America First” movement from the 1930s that sought to merge the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean into a single, self-sustaining entity. We even look at the strategic roles assigned to places like Venezuela and Greenland within this historical map and how those same regions remain at the center of contemporary geopolitical conversations today.

The connection to Bible prophecy becomes clear when we look at the work of the Club of Rome. In the 1970s, this influential think tank proposed dividing the world into ten distinct regions. For students of the Word, this immediately brings to mind the prophecies found in the books of Daniel and Revelation. Specifically, Revelation 17 predicts a period during the Great Tribulation where ten kings will rule over ten kingdoms, eventually giving their power over to the Antichrist.

While these secular organizations and historical figures may not realize they are laying the groundwork for a biblical reality, the “underpinnings” of a ten-region global system are becoming increasingly visible. We also briefly touch on the interesting historical links between current technological leaders and these technocratic ideals, noting how the push for a cashless society and centralized efficiency fits into the prophetic puzzle.

As Calvary Chapel believers, our focus remains on the “blessed hope.” We believe the Church will be raptured before the Antichrist ascends to power and the Tribulation begins. The trends we see in the news today are not a cause for fear, but a reminder to be ready. The stage is being set, and the return of Jesus Christ is drawing near. If you are interested in Bible prophecy, Israel, and how current events line up with Scripture, this update will provide a grounded, biblical look at the world around us.

Prophecy Update #834 – Thinking Inside The Big-Box At Costco

In this week’s prophecy update, we take a look at how everyday experiences—even a trip to a big-box retailer like Costco—can illustrate the rapid shift toward the world described in the Book of Revelation. As we continue our verse-by-verse study of the Bible and keep a watchful eye on global trends, it becomes increasingly clear that the infrastructure for a centralized, digital commerce system is being built right before our eyes.

From a Calvary Chapel perspective, we approach these developments not with a spirit of fear, but with biblical discernment. When we see membership scanners, digital QR codes for entry, and the rollout of scan-and-pay systems, we recognize a familiar pattern. Revelation 13 describes a future period during the Great Tribulation where access to buy and sell is strictly controlled by a unified, digital authorization. While technology itself is neutral, these modern conveniences are lowering the resistance of the general public to systems of total oversight.

We also consider the rise of Artificial Intelligence and digital avatars in light of the “image of the beast” mentioned by the Apostle John. For centuries, the idea of a speaking image that exercises authority seemed symbolic or impossible. Today, with the advancement of AI and machines that simulate human personality, we can see exactly how such a prophecy could be realized.

This update emphasizes that while we aren’t suggesting a specific retailer is fulfilling prophecy, we are certainly seeing the “birth pains” of a coming system. As believers in Jesus Christ, our focus remains on the blessed hope of the Rapture. Jesus told His followers to watch and be ready. The goal of studying Bible prophecy is to encourage the church to stay awake and to reach those who do not yet know the Savior.

If you are interested in Christianity, the future of Israel, or how current events align with the Word of God, we invite you to join us for this study. We look at the reality of the coming Kingdom and the necessity of being in a right relationship with the Lord. The world is changing quickly, but the promises of God remain certain. It is time to get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up, because Jesus is coming soon.

Prophecy Update #833 – Are You Talking To Me?

In his recent book, Randy Kay writes, “For centuries, Revelation 13 sounded impossible. Today, it reads more like a headline.”

Prophecy Update #833 – Are You Talking To Me?
Welcome back to our ongoing Bible study series where we examine current global events and geopolitical trends through the lens of Bible prophecy. This is Prophecy Update #833, and as a Calvary Chapel ministry, we believe in teaching the Word of God with a literal interpretation, seeing God’s truth unfold in our headlines.

The Surge of Technology and Globalism
The technological infrastructure necessary for the end times prophecies is rapidly converging. We discuss the stunning initiative by the Department of Energy, aptly named the “Genesis Mission,” which combines supercomputers, vast scientific data, and breakthrough AI systems into a single powerful platform. Concurrently, the rise of “real-time translation” technology threatens to dismantle language barriers, shrinking the world into one global village.

We examine the disturbing arrogance reflected in naming these projects—claiming to “rewrite the ending” of the Tower of Babel—and how such developments directly promote globalism and pave the way for a powerful leader to emerge, confirming the prophetic warnings in the book of Revelation.

Prophetic Signposts and The Time of Noah
We discuss how renowned author Randy Kay analyzed biblical prophecy frameworks alongside modern events, including Daniel’s 70 weeks, the fig tree generation in Matthew 24, and the miraculous 1948 rebirth of Israel. His analysis points to the most plausible window for the Tribulation Period occurring between 2028 and 2032. The looming reality of Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) and the ethical crisis of genetically engineered babies further indicate humanity’s desire to attain godhood, a theme we expect from Scripture.

Perhaps most remarkably, we look at the potential discovery of Noah’s Ark in Turkey’s Durupinar Formation. Jesus Christ Himself said the End Times would be “as it was in the days of Noah.” What stronger prophetic sign could there be than the literal confirmation of the Ark?

Keep Looking Up: Hope in Jesus Christ
We realize the sheer speed of global surveillance networks, digital currencies, and the framework for the Mark of the Beast in Revelation 13 can be unsettling. However, we are not called to be anxious. God has given us the outline and the ending! The Church will be raptured, the Time of Jacob’s Trouble will prepare Israel to accept Jesus as Messiah, and the Lord returns in His Second Coming to establish His Millennial Kingdom on Earth.

If you are new to Bible study, seeking to grow your faith, or looking for Christianity videos that focus on Jesus and spirituality, we encourage you to stay ready, keep looking up, and prepare for the return of the Lord. Ready or not, Jesus is coming!

Prophecy Unsealed: Early Church Fathers and the End Times
Prophecy Update #832 – Best Telling Authors

Are we truly living in the End Times? How should current news and world trends relate to our study of Bible prophecy? Join us in this week’s Calvary Chapel message as we open the Word of God to find answers that have been sealed for centuries. This teaching explores a crucial prophetic passage—Daniel 12:4—and uncovers a remarkable witness from the early church.

Daniel’s End Time Prophecy: Knowledge Will Increase We focus on Daniel 12:4, which speaks of the “time of the end” when the book of prophecy will be unsealed and “many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” While some understand this as modern travel, the original Hebrew idiom strongly suggests a diligent, widespread search, investigation, and inquiry into biblical and spiritual knowledge. We believe this verse is being fulfilled today, especially with discoveries like the Dead Sea Scrolls and the renewed scholarly attention on historical Christian texts concerning the last days.

The Harp of the Holy Spirit: Ephraim the Syriac In this prophecy update, we examine the teachings of a powerful figure from the early church: Ephraim the Syriac (also known as Ephraim of Nisibis), a 4th-century deacon, teacher, and hymn-writer. Revered by the church as the “Harp of the Holy Spirit,” his theological works, preserved in the ancient Syriac Aramaic dialect, are providing vital insight. Specifically, we review a sermon, On the Last Times, the Antichrist, and the End of the World, recently made accessible through modern translations.

Evidence for the Pre-Tribulation Rapture in Early Christianity Drawing on research from Dr. Lee Brainard, we highlight a significant prophetic statement from Ephraim’s sermon: “For all the saints and Elect of God are gathered, prior to the tribulation that is to come, and are taken to the Lord.” This ancient text presents compelling evidence that the pre-tribulation rapture view—that Jesus will resurrect and rapture His Church before the Great Tribulation—was held by some believers centuries ago. It reaffirms our belief in the imminency of Christ’s return—it could happen right now!

If you are interested in Christianity, seeking to study the Bible, or looking for reliable teaching on End Times events, we invite you to search the Scriptures with us.

Are you ready for the rapture? The Lord is coming! Get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up.

When Jesus said the End Times would be as the Days of Noah, one thing He was getting at is genetic tampering with the human race

Prophecy Update #831: Skin In The Game – Are We in the Days of Noah?

Welcome to another Prophecy Update in our ongoing series, examining how current global news and world events align with Bible prophecy and the return of Jesus Christ. In this installment, Prophecy Update #831: Skin In The Game, we look at one of the most sobering warnings Jesus gave about the End Times: “As the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be” (Matthew 24:37).

What exactly was so unique about the Days of Noah? Delving into Genesis 6, we discover a time of extreme wickedness marked by the unauthorized cohabitation between fallen angels (“sons of God”) and human women, resulting in the genetically tainted, powerful offspring known as the Nephilim (giants). According to ancient rabbinic teaching and the early Church Fathers, this was a period of catastrophic genetic tampering with the human race.

Fast-forward to today: are we seeing evidence of unprecedented genetic manipulation? We explore a stunning recent headline (BBC, Sept 30, 2025) detailing how scientists have created early-stage human embryos using DNA from human skin cells and sperm. This groundbreaking, never-before-achieved technique could revolutionize infertility treatment and, critically, allow same-sex couples to have a genetically related child, completely redefining the long-established natural process of reproduction.

Jesus predicted the very conditions we see unfolding now—a world increasingly marked by a departure from God’s created order. The reality of this technological advancement raises profound questions about the sanctity of life and the boundaries God established.

This is a critical signpost for those who study eschatology and Biblical prophecy. Our faithful study of God’s Word tells us that the convergence of these signs points to the soon coming of our Lord. Jesus promised the resurrection and rapture of the Church for all Christian believers—an event that is imminent and could happen at any moment, before the Great Tribulation begins.

Are you prepared to meet the Lord? We encourage you to seek the Lord, stay ready, and keep looking up. Join us as we anchor our faith in the truth of Scripture, finding hope in Christ’s promise. Share this video with anyone interested in Calvary Chapel teaching, Bible study, spiritual truth, or Israel prophecy. Jesus is coming—ready or not!

Prophecy Update #830 – All The News That’s Fit To Predict. This video is part of our ongoing series where we thoughtfully examine current world news and show how the trends align with Bible prophecy concerning the end times.

In this edition, the headlines truly sound like they are straight from the pages of Scripture, reminding us to keep looking up.

Digital ID and the Mark of the Beast System

The first major news item focuses on the UK’s new digital ID scheme, which will be mandatory for Right to Work checks. This type of technology, a digital identity tied to essential services, raises important questions for believers concerning the coming global economic system described in the Book of Revelation. We discuss the advancements in biometric ID and how the necessary infrastructure for what is often called the Mark of the Beast could be in place before the Antichrist is revealed. This is a crucial topic for anyone interested in end times prophecy and the practical implications of a rapidly progressing cashless society.

AI Claiming to Be God

Our second story is equally striking: Artificial Intelligence is now powering religious apps, with some AI chatbots claiming to be channeling or even speaking as God Himself. The Bible clearly warns that the Antichrist will exalt himself above all that is called God. We consider how this modern development in spirituality in the digital age and the rise of seemingly sentient AI could parallel the image of the Beast and the great deception to come. This is a wake-up call for those who want to study the Bible and understand spiritual warfare in a tech-driven world.

Are You Ready for the Rapture?

As we see these prophetic signs accelerate, we are reminded of our blessed hope: the Rapture of the Church. We believe that Christians will be caught up to be with the Lord before the terrible period of the Great Tribulation. This is a central teaching of the Calvary Chapel movement. We urge all our viewers, whether you are interested in Christianity, Jesus, or simply searching for hope, to examine your life. Ready or not, Jesus is coming!

Join us for this Bible study focused on current events, Israel (in the broader prophetic context), and the urgency of the Gospel in these last days.

The signs of the times are all around us, and for those who are watching, it seems like God is setting the stage for future Bible prophecies to be fulfilled. This video, part of our Prophecy Update series, explores how a surprising recent news headline connects to the biblical end times. Join us as we look at how current events, from technology to global systems, are aligning with what the Bible foretold centuries ago.

In this teaching, we will consider the over 500 unfulfilled Bible prophecies that point to the last days. We believe these prophecies will be fulfilled literally, and we can already see some of the groundwork being laid for a future global government, a global religion, and a global economic system, all of which the Bible predicts will be taken over by a charismatic leader known as the Antichrist.

This week’s prophecy update examines the headlines surrounding Peter Thiel, the co-founder of PayPal and Palantir. This influential entrepreneur and venture capitalist is holding a four-part lecture series for tech elites on the very subject of the Antichrist. The fact that a major figure on the world stage is speaking about the rise of the biblical Antichrist to an audience of powerful people is a significant indication of the times we are in.

We will also consider Peter Thiel’s views on technology and AI, and his theory that these advanced systems could enable the rise of an Antichrist system. He suggests this system could co-opt fears of existential threats like AI or nuclear catastrophe to promote centralized, authoritarian control, using the slogan “peace and safety.”

We also want to remind you that even as these events unfold, the Bible offers a message of hope. We believe the resurrection and rapture of the church is an imminent event that could happen at any time. The Great Tribulation is a future time of trouble, not for the church, but for Israel, as indicated in Revelation 3:10. This is why it is so important to be ready for the rapture and to be looking up for Jesus’ return.

If you are interested in Bible prophecy, Christian living, or a deeper study of the Bible, we invite you to subscribe for more videos like this. We believe in studying God’s Word verse by verse, chapter by chapter, in the style of Calvary Chapel. Thank you for joining us as we continue to watch for the signs of Jesus’ return.

In this prophecy update, we dive deep into one of the most talked-about topics in eschatology and world events: the red heifers. The update, titled “Prophecy Update #828 – Have A Cow,” explores the fascinating and, at times, controversial story of the five red heifers from Texas and their journey to Israel. We examine their biblical significance, their role in ancient Jewish ritual, and what their arrival in the Holy Land might signal for biblical prophecy.

Our study of the Bible’s prophetic writings reveals how these events may be lining up with what the Scriptures foretell. We explore the meaning of the red heifer in the Bible, a unique animal used for ceremonial purification and its connection to the rebuilding of a future Jewish Temple. The video unpacks the recent news and controversy surrounding these red heifers, including the surprising announcement from the Temple Institute in Israel that the five heifers were disqualified. We also share new information from Byron Stinson of Boneh Israel, who transported the heifers, and his claim about a “burning from July 1,” raising questions about what truly transpired.

This is more than just current events – it is also a look at how they are intersecting with ancient prophecies. We see a stunning report from The Times of Israel and a statement from Hamas spokesperson Abu Ubaida, who cited the red heifers as a motive for the October 7th attack. This development shifts the red heifer narrative from a niche religious topic to a central component of geopolitical conflict, highlighting how events dismissed by skeptics as “far-out conspiracy theories” are now at the forefront of global news.

As we consider these prophetic signs, we turn to the Bible’s promises for believers. We discuss the imminence of the Rapture and how it is a separate event from the Great Tribulation. Our study shows that the Great Tribulation is a coming time of trouble for Israel, not the Church, and we will be kept out of it. This message is not about fear but about hope and preparedness. Are you ready for the Rapture? We encourage you to get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up, because Jesus is coming. Join us as we study what the Bible says about the end times, news from Israel, and how we should live in light of these truths. This is a must-watch for anyone interested in biblical prophecy, end-times events, and how current global trends align with the Scriptures.

Welcome to Prophecy Updates #826, our ongoing series where we prayerfully examine current world events through the lens of Bible prophecy. In this session, “Home (Almost) Alone,” we delve into a critical sign of the Last Days: the alarming global rise of antisemitism. As Bible students and those interested in Christianity and the end times, we seek to understand these trends in light of God’s Word.

Jesus himself warned that His followers would be “hated by all nations” for His name’s sake, and Zechariah 12:3 speaks of Jerusalem becoming a “heavy stone for all peoples.” These Bible prophecies paint a clear picture of escalating hatred towards the Jewish people. In this Bible study, we humbly present recent statistical conclusions that underscore this reality. Reports from May 2025 reveal a staggering 340% to 450% increase in anti-Semitic incidents worldwide in 2024, with significant surges in the UK, France, Australia, Canada, and Germany. The ADL also highlights the normalization of antisemitism through anti-Israel rhetoric and Holocaust denial. In the U.S., ADL data shows a 360-477% increase in incidents post-October 2023, particularly impacting college campuses, leading to a decline in personal safety for many Jews. These statistics, while sobering, affirm the accuracy of Bible prophecy.

We also consider the miraculous re-gathering of the Jewish people to the Holy Land in 1948, a clear fulfillment of numerous specific prophecies. This event sets the stage for future end times events, including the Great Tribulation, also known as the “Time of Jacob’s Trouble,” which will focus on Israel’s ultimate salvation at Jesus’ Second Coming.

A key aspect of our Bible study focuses on the resurrection and rapture of the church. We hold to the belief that this is an imminent event, meaning no further prophecies need to be fulfilled before it can occur. While the Great Tribulation is a future event designed for Israel’s salvation, Revelation 3:10 provides comfort that the church will be kept out of this intense period.

As we consider these prophecy updates and end times signs, a vital question emerges for all Christians and those exploring Bible prophecy: “Are you ready for the Rapture?” We encourage you to seek readiness, remain watchful, and keep looking up. Whether you are a long-time student of Calvary Chapel teachings or new to Bible prophecy, we pray this video is a blessing as you seek to understand God’s plan. Ready or not, Jesus is coming!

Welcome to Prophecy Updates #826 – Beast Blackmail.

In this installment of our ongoing Bible prophecy series, we humbly explore current events and global trends through the lens of biblical prophecy. Our goal is to connect the dots between what’s happening in the world today and what the Bible foretells about the end times.

This Bible study delves into one of the most talked-about Bible prophecies: the Mark of the Beast. We’ll examine what the Bible says about this significant end-times event, including the global requirement for a mark to conduct business and the chilling demand for worship of the Antichrist. The Scriptures describe an image of the beast that speaks and even thinks, and we consider how recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) might align with these ancient prophecies.

We discuss disturbing new traits reported in advanced AI models, including deception, scheming, and even threats, as highlighted by expert warnings. Could AI’s capacity for “hallucination”—generating false information as fact—also play a role in fulfilling these prophecies? This Christian sermon explores these fascinating intersections.

We also touch upon the imminent resurrection and rapture of the church. We believe the rapture could happen at any moment, with no prerequisite events needing to occur before it. Consider how major end-times prophecies, such as the regathering of Israel, the rise of global government, a global cashless economy, and the preparations for rebuilding a Jewish Temple, are all clearly unfolding in our modern culture.

The Great Tribulation is a coming event, specifically designed for Israel’s salvation at Jesus’ Second Coming, not for the church. This Bible prophecy update explains why our understanding of Scripture leads us to believe Jesus will remove the church before this period.

Are you ready for the Rapture? This sermon encourages preparation, steadfastness, and looking up. Jesus is coming soon! Join us for this important Bible study as we seek to understand God’s Word in these critical times.

In Prophecy Update #824, titled “If You Say Sow,” we delve into critical Bible prophecies unfolding before our eyes. Join us in this Bible study as we connect current global trends with end-times predictions from the Bible. This video is a must-watch for anyone interested in Christianity, Bible prophecy, and Calvary Chapel teachings on the Last Days.

Discover how advancements in biometrics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are setting the stage for future prophecy fulfillment, including the biblical descriptions of a global system of commerce and a “mark.” While dramatic events unfold, we also explore less obvious, yet equally significant, prophecies.

We examine Jeremiah 31:27, where the LORD speaks of “sowing the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and with the seed of beast.” This Bible verse signifies a time of population growth, blessing, and restoration for Israel, a Millennial scene that we see being prepared even now.

A recent article highlights Israel’s announcement of 22 new communities in Judea and Samaria, a move that directly aligns with this prophecy of “sowing Judea and Israel with the seed of men.” Hear powerful statements from Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich emphasizing Israel’s sovereignty and settlement efforts.

In response to a global surge in anti-Semitism, there’s a clear message for Jews worldwide to return to the land of Israel. Following the events of October 7, 2023, over 31,000 new immigrants moved to Israel, fulfilling Jeremiah’s ancient prediction of the Jewish return to their Promised Land in the Last Days. We clarify that this prophecy specifically refers to ethnic descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, not a spiritualized interpretation for the Church.

Finally, we turn our attention to Revelation 3:10, a foundational scripture for understanding the Church in the Last Days. Jesus promises to “keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world.” We explain why “the hour of trial,” or the Tribulation, is a global event that believers will not endure. This discussion covers the Rapture, the resurrection of the dead in Christ, and the transformation of believers into glorified bodies before this critical period.

Are you ready for the Rapture? This video will challenge you to get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up for the imminent return of Jesus Christ. Don’t miss these crucial prophecy updates that will help you understand the times we live in and strengthen your faith. Tune in for deep Bible insights and sermon content relevant to today’s world.

Prophecy Update #823 – Dust Men Tell Their Tales

Welcome to Prophecy Updates #823: Dust Men Tell Their Tales — a compelling episode exploring current global trends in light of Bible prophecy, with special focus on the Dead Sea Scrolls, end times events, and the soon return of Jesus Christ.

In this weekly series from Calvary Hanford, a local fellowship associated with Calvary Chapel, we take a few minutes to analyze how today’s headlines echo the ancient predictions found in Bible prophecy. As part of our ongoing effort to study the Bible systematically, we examine real-world developments that align with prophetic Scripture, including Old Testament prophecies, the Book of Daniel, and the Book of Revelation.

In this episode, we highlight fascinating connections between the Dead Sea Scrolls and the end times, focusing on how Isaiah 29 may have foretold their discovery. These scrolls, hidden by the Essenes during the Roman destruction of Jerusalem, have begun to “speak from the dust” — a direct fulfillment of prophetic imagery. We discuss how these ancient texts, including the Great Isaiah Scroll, the Temple Scroll, and the Damascus Document, were uncovered during key moments in Israel’s modern history — the rebirth of the nation in 1948 and the Six-Day War in 1967 — both significant markers in prophetic timelines.

Could these discoveries be part of what Daniel and John wrote about — sealed messages meant to be revealed in the last days? Are we seeing the unlocking of ancient truths for a final generation?

We also take a fresh look at Revelation 3:10, discussing the pre-tribulation rapture and God’s promise to keep His Church from “the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world.” This verse is a cornerstone for believers awaiting the return of Jesus Christ — not to endure wrath, but to be rescued before the Great Tribulation begins.

If you’re interested in Bible study, Christian eschatology, or discovering how current events align with the Bible’s end times prophecies, this video is for you. Whether you’re a student of the Scriptures, a follower of Christ, or simply curious about how ancient texts like the Dead Sea Scrolls fit into the prophetic puzzle, this video will encourage and equip you.

Prophecy Update #822 – River Walk

contact@calvaryhanford.com (Calvary Hanford) — Mon, 28 Apr 2025 01:36:56 +0000

We don’t hear about it very often, but there are geographical changes happening right now in Israel that are in accordance with unfulfilled prophecies.

Welcome to Prophecy Updates #822, where we delve into fascinating current trends through the lens of Bible prophecy. In this installment, “River Walk,” we explore remarkable geographical changes unfolding in Israel that align with unfulfilled prophetic scriptures. If you’re seeking a deeper understanding of Bible prophecy, end times, and how today’s world reflects biblical predictions, you’ve come to the right place.

Join us as we examine a significant prophecy from the book of Ezekiel, chapter 47, verses 6 through 11. This passage speaks of a river flowing eastward, healing the waters of the Dead Sea and bringing life where there was once barrenness. We unpack the details of this prophecy and connect it to tangible events happening in Israel right now.

In this video, we highlight compelling evidence of this prophecy’s near fulfillment. Discover how water is currently flowing into the Dead Sea, undergoing a natural purification process. Learn about the formation of thousands of natural craters, known as bolaines, which are capturing salt deposits. Witness the surprising presence of small fish in areas where the healing waters are reaching. It’s truly amazing to see these developments occurring naturally and exclusively on the Israeli side of the Dead Sea, pointing towards the prophetic future described by Ezekiel.

We emphasize the concept of near and far fulfillments in Bible prophecy, suggesting that these current events are significant indicators of what is yet to come. This is not man-made; it is a natural unfolding that resonates powerfully with biblical predictions.

Beyond this incredible development in Israel, we also touch upon a peculiar news item from the UK regarding planned open-air experiments in solar geo-engineering. While we don’t believe this to be prophetic, it serves as a thought-provoking example of global efforts to address climate change, a topic often discussed in the context of end times discussions.

For our viewers interested in Christian theology and Bible study, we also reaffirm the comforting promise given by Jesus to His Church in Revelation 3:10: protection from the coming hour of trial. We discuss the imminence of the resurrection and rapture of the church, underscoring that this pivotal event could occur at any moment, with no preceding prophecies needing fulfillment.

This video is a must-watch for anyone engaged in Bible study, seeking to understand Christian perspectives on current events, and specifically those interested in Bible prophecy and the end times. If you regularly watch sermons and teachings from Calvary Chapel or are looking for insightful analysis of biblical prophecies, this update is for you.

Welcome to Prophecy Updates #821 – A Dire Situation, part of our ongoing Bible prophecy series from Calvary Chapel! This video dives deep into current world trends aligning with Bible prophecies, offering a biblical perspective on the End Times. Join us for an in-depth Bible study exploring the Olivet Discourse, the Days of Noah, and their relevance to today’s world events.

In this episode, we examine biometrics, artificial intelligence, cashless commerce, human DNA manipulation, global government, instantaneous global communication, and the movement to rebuild the Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. These trends, predicted in the Bible, are unfolding before our eyes. We discuss Jesus’ teachings on the 7-year period following the rapture of the Church, drawing parallels to the Days of Noah described in Genesis 6. Learn about the Nephilim, fallen angels, and their role in corrupting human DNA, as verified by the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Book of the Giants.

We also explore modern genetic manipulation—gene editing, cloning, transhumanism, and the revival of the dire wolf through de-extinction efforts by Colossal Bioscience. Hear insights from Ben Lamm’s appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, where he revealed China’s advancements in genetically modified children. These developments echo the Days of Noah, signaling the End Times as foretold by Jesus.

This Bible study is perfect for Christians, Bible prophecy enthusiasts, and those seeking sermons on the rapture, Second Coming, and End Times events. We unpack Revelation 3:10, where Jesus promises to keep His Church from the hour of trial. Are you ready for the imminent rapture? Discover how to prepare spiritually and stay ready for Christ’s return.

Prophecy Update #820 – Keep Scrolling

contact@calvaryhanford.com (Calvary Hanford) — Sun, 06 Apr 2025 17:39:03 +0000

When discussing the Dead Sea Scrolls, the term “fragments” comes-up often. It refers to the small, often broken, pieces of parchment or papyrus that make up much of the collection. Keep that in mind.

Welcome to Prophecy Updates #820, part of our ongoing Bible prophecy series from a Calvary Chapel perspective. In this episode, we explore current world trends aligning with biblical predictions about the end times. Topics include biometrics, artificial intelligence, cashless commerce, human DNA manipulation, global government, instantaneous global communication, and the push to rebuild the Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. These signs, foretold in Scripture, are accelerating like never before, offering insight into God’s prophetic timeline.

We dive into Daniel 12:4, where the prophet is told to “seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” This verse could point to a growing understanding of Bible prophecy, especially Israel’s dispensational role in the last days. Alternatively, it may predict the explosion of technology, science, and global travel in the modern era—clear end times indicators. Yet, a third interpretation ties this prophecy to the Dead Sea Scrolls, ancient manuscripts discovered between 1947 and 2021 near Qumran. These fragments, including Zechariah and Nahum translations, reveal biblical truths preserved for the end times.

The Dead Sea Scrolls connect to Elijah’s prophetic school and the Tanna Eliyihu, referenced in 3rd-century commentaries. Elijah’s words, “Truth will be found in fragments,” may foreshadow these discoveries, unveiling hidden insights from Daniel and John’s sealed writings for the last days. For deeper study, check out Dr. Ken Johnson at biblefacts.org.

This Bible study unpacks how these trends and discoveries signal the nearness of the rapture, as promised in Revelation 3:10. Jesus assures His Church protection from the coming global trial. The resurrection and rapture are imminent—nothing stands in its way. Are you ready? Get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up, because Jesus is coming soon!

Welcome to Prophecy Updates #819 – Shut-up, Daniel, part of our ongoing series exploring current world trends aligning with Bible prophecy. In this episode, we dive deep into the Book of Daniel, specifically Daniel 12:4, where it says, “shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” Join us as we unpack how today’s advancements in biometrics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), cashless commerce, human DNA manipulation, global government, instantaneous communication, and the push to rebuild the Temple on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount reflect biblical predictions for the end times.

This Bible study and sermon from a Calvary Chapel perspective examines how these prophetic signs are trending like never before. We explore two interpretations of “knowledge shall increase”: a growing understanding of God’s plan for Israel and the Church, as emphasized in dispensationalist teaching, and the explosion of technology, science, and global travel in the modern era. Artificial Intelligence stands out as a key focus, with experts like Elon Musk warning of its potential to surpass human intelligence and pose serious risks—could AI be setting the stage for end-times events?

For those seeking in-depth Bible prophecy insights, this video connects scripture to today’s headlines, highlighting the rapture, the Great Tribulation, and the distinct destinies of the Church and Israel. Jesus’ promise in Revelation 3:10 assures the Church escape from the coming hour of trial, while Israel’s salvation follows the Tribulation. The resurrection and rapture remain imminent—ready or not, Jesus is coming!

Perfect for Christians, Bible students, and prophecy enthusiasts, this episode offers a thought-provoking look at how technology and world events align with God’s Word. Are you ready for the end times? Get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up as we approach the fulfillment of these ancient prophecies.

Welcome to Prophecy Update #818 – His Number Is 6GG, part of our ongoing series exploring current world trends aligning with Bible prophecy about the end times. This video dives deep into biblical futurism, where we interpret unfulfilled prophetic passages as literal, physical, apocalyptic, and global future events. Join us for an in-depth Bible study examining how today’s technological advancements—biometrics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), cashless commerce, human DNA manipulation, global government, instant global communication, exponential knowledge growth, and the push to rebuild the Temple on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount—match predictions in the Book of Revelation.

In this sermon, we focus on 6G technology, the next generation of wireless innovation succeeding 5G. Expected by 2030, 6G promises faster speeds, lower latency, and efficient connectivity, enabling AI-driven networks, immersive augmented and virtual reality, Internet of Things (IoT) applications, smart cities, autonomous systems, and even brain-computer interfaces. These advancements aren’t just about better phones—they signal a tyrannical surveillance society foretold in Scripture. Revelation predicts a global government enforcing a cashless economy, accessible only through a personal biometric identifier on the forehead or hand. Once unimaginable, this system could launch today, perfectly describing the antichrist’s rule during the Great Tribulation.

We explore insights from experts like David Bowen, who warns of 6G’s role in a 40-year march toward total surveillance, control, and loss of autonomy. Samsung claims 6G will transform entertainment, medicine, education, and manufacturing, integrating AI and automation into every aspect of life. This aligns with end-times prophecy, where every action, conversation, and movement could be tracked and controlled—hallmarks of the future tribulation government.

For Christians, Bible students, and those curious about prophecy, this video connects today’s headlines to Revelation 3:10, where Jesus promises to keep believers from the hour of trial. The rapture and resurrection of the church are imminent—could happen any moment. Are you ready? This Calvary Chapel-style teaching urges you to get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up, because Jesus is coming soon.

Prophecy Update #817 – We Do Digital Right | Bible Prophecy, End Times, and the Coming Cashless System

Are we witnessing the rapid rise of a global, cashless economy that will play a role in end-times prophecy? In this week’s Prophecy Update #817, we examine how biometrics, artificial intelligence, and digital commerce are shaping a world that aligns with Bible prophecy. As technology advances, we see clear indications of a future system described in the Book of Revelation, where a one-world government will control global trade through a personal biometric identifier.

The Bible foretells a time when no one will be able to buy or sell without a mark on their hand or forehead (Revelation 13:16-17). What was once considered impossible is now becoming reality. From cashless transactions to AI-driven commerce, companies like Yum Brands (KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut) are moving toward 100% digital sales, reflecting the technological infrastructure necessary for the prophesied global economic system.

What You’ll Learn in This Prophecy Update:

– How biometrics, AI, and digital payments point to the coming cashless society
– Why global corporations are pushing for 100% digital sales and what it means for Bible prophecy
– How the mark of the beast system could be implemented today
– What the Bible says about the seven-year Great Tribulation and the Antichrist’s economic control
– The promise of the rapture of the Church—why believers in Jesus Christ won’t be here for the tribulation

Signs of the Last Days – Are You Ready?

The resurrection and rapture of the Church is imminent. Jesus promised:
“I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the Earth.” (Revelation 3:10)

The world is being conditioned for a global system that will dominate during the Great Tribulation. But Christians have hope—we are not appointed to God’s wrath! Are you ready for the return of Jesus Christ?

Watch this prophecy update to stay informed, encouraged, and prepared for the Lord’s return!

Prophecy Update #816 – Trump & Temple

contact@calvaryhanford.com (Calvary Hanford) — Sun, 23 Feb 2025 20:05:08 +0000

Prime Minister of Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, recently called President Trump the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House. In his first term, President Trump did something amazing for Israel. He moved their embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

There is a great deal of speculation that Jews in Jerusalem will take advantage of the Trump presidency in order to get the Temple built.

Those around Trump would like to see the Temple built. Speaking at an event in Jerusalem in 2018, now Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said there was “no reason why the miracle of re-establishing the Temple on the Temple Mount isn’t possible,” using the Israeli name for the raised plateau in occupied East Jerusalem where Al-Aqsa Mosque stands.

He also told attendees that Israel should take advantage of Trump being in office to do what they needed to do in the region, because there were “true believers” in Washington who would back them.

Right now it remains speculation. We are simply pointing-out that this is exactly what you would expect to read about in the news if you are familiar with the Bible and its prophecies.

Prophecy Update #815 – Hard To Swallow

Jesus compares His future death, burial, and resurrection to the experience of Jonah (Matthew 12:39-40). Jonah spent three days and three nights in the belly of a great fish, and similarly, Jesus would be in the tomb for three days and three nights before rising again.

PROPHECY UPDATE #815 – HARD TO SWALLOW | Bible Prophecy & Viral News

What does a viral video of a kayaker getting swallowed by a whale have to do with Bible prophecy? In Matthew 12:39-40, Jesus compares His death, burial, and resurrection to the experience of Jonah, who spent three days and three nights in the belly of a great fish. This remarkable event foreshadowed Christ’s time in the tomb before His glorious resurrection.

While this recent whale encounter isn’t a direct prophetic sign, it does remind us of something undeniable: Jesus is alive, and He is coming back. Could God have a sense of humor and a flair for the dramatic? This Bible study and prophecy update explores the sign of Jonah, what Jesus meant by it, and why it still matters today.

In the wake of the fires in Los Angeles, some governmental leaders are suggesting we rebuild towns like Pacific Palisades and Eaton as ‘Smart Cities,’ with what they call a modern Marshall Plan. It sounds utopian, but history and prophecy suggest it would more likely be dystopian.

Control over the total population is predicted for the Last Days. There has never been a time in human history in which the government has had so many tools and the technology to significantly control everything about you.

In Prophecy Update #814 – L.A. 2.0, we explore the aftermath of the devastating fires in Los Angeles and the controversial proposal to rebuild towns like Pacific Palisades and Eaton as “Smart Cities.” While the idea of a modern Marshall Plan might sound promising, what does it mean for personal freedom? These Smart Cities could bring sweeping changes: no single-family zoning, mandatory public transit, and unprecedented government control over daily life. Could this be a utopian dream or a dystopian reality?

Bible prophecy foretells a time of total population control in the Last Days. Today’s technology gives governments tools to monitor and regulate society like never before. Could these Smart Cities be the stepping stones toward fulfilling end-times prophecy? Join us for an in-depth study of what the Bible says about the future and how current events align with Scripture.

Hermeneutics is the study of how to interpret the Bible. What principles & methods do we follow? Why do we follow them?

Our ‘hermeneutic’ emphasizes a literal, grammatical-historical approach to interpreting the Bible. Here is what we mean.

Join us for Prophecy Update #812, where we explore the foundational Biblical hermeneutic used at Calvary Hanford—a literal, grammatical-historical approach to interpreting Scripture. In this video, we discuss why it’s essential to read the Bible as we would any other literature, paying attention to the plain, normal meaning of words, while recognizing literary devices like metaphors and symbols within their proper context.

This method leads us to two key conclusions:

The Bible should be understood in its straightforward, literal sense.
Ethnic Israel and the Church are distinct entities in God’s overarching plan for humanity.

By interpreting the Bible this way, we embrace a “normal” reading that honors its genre, historical setting, and the intent of its authors. This perspective not only enriches our understanding of Bible prophecy but also strengthens our faith as we see God’s plan unfolding with clarity and purpose.

None of the major news outlets understand the true cause of the fighting in Israel that began with the October 7 attack by Hamas.

In May of 2021 Hamas launched rockets in retaliation for Israeli security forces entering the Al Aqsa Mosque after Palestinians threw stones and other objects at them. Hamas opposes any changes to the status quo at Jerusalem’s Temple Mount.

The current war was started by Hamas in response to the arrival of the red heifers. These exceedingly rare animals are needed to establish worship on the Temple Mount. In January, 2024, a Hamas spokesman specifically identified the red heifers as proof Israel would soon try to destroy the Mosque & other Islamic buildings.

One day the Holy Land was under British control. The next day, Israel was a sovereign nation.

Over 2,800 years ago, the prophet Ezekiel spoke these words about Israel:

“I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land” (36:24).

The first part of that was fulfilled on May 14, 1948. Isaiah made this wild claim: “Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion was in labor, She gave birth to her children” (66:8).

AI is everywhere these days – on your computer, at sports games, even in corporate board rooms. How might this line up with Bible prophecy?

It makes sense that the world would be moving in the direction that the prophecies predict. Biometrics, Artificial Intelligence, cashless commerce, the manipulation of human DNA, global government, the exponential growth of human knowledge, and the rebirth of national Israel are potential End Times phenomena the Bible predicts.

Prophecy Update #756 – The G

contact@calvaryhanford.com (Calvary Hanford) — Sun, 17 Sep 2023 16:07:36 +0000

We are rushing headlong into the tyrannical one-world predicted in the Bible. If polls are correct, most of the people in the world favor it.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has determined that we have fewer than 10 years to reduce global emissions by half to avoid the worst impacts of catastrophic climate change. To tackle this urgent need, they say we must align food policy with climate policy and drastically reduce the amount of meat and dairy produced. This is especially true for countries with high consumption, like the United States. Cutting 90% of beef consumption and replacing 50% of other animal-based foods with plant-based foods in the United States would save more than 2 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions from being released into our atmosphere by 2030.

Prophecy Update #755 – Let’s Get Digital, Digital

contact@calvaryhanford.com (Calvary Hanford) — Sun, 10 Sep 2023 19:21:55 +0000

In the Revelation, one thing John was shown about the future was a cashless, global system of commerce. Have you heard about FedNow, the Federal Reserve’s new instant payment service?

We are on the verge of a global, completely cashless economy that will be accessed by a personal biometric identifier.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. calls trend “the slippery slope to financial slavery and political tyranny.” That’s an extreme statement, but you can see how it is true. Once you must rely upon an all digital economy, the government will most assuredly gain access to your account to punish you, or to force behaviors they deem necessary.

We discovered a new group with a global agenda. New to us, that is – they’ve been around since 2005. It is called C40 Cities.

US cities listed as members are Austin, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Seattle.

Christians have long been accused of being conspiracy theorists for saying such things. Recently, I might say even suddenly, powerful groups of wealthy influencers, government officials, and tech giants, have come out of the closet with their radical global agendas.

Biometrics, Artificial Intelligence, cashless commerce, the manipulation of human DNA, global government, the exponential growth of human knowledge, and the rebirth of national Israel are End Times phenomena the Bible predicts.

In the Days Of Noah, the angels mating with human females were able to affect and alter human DNA to produce this weird race called the Nephilim. It was an attempt to destroy humanity at a genetic level. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

contact@calvaryhanford.com (Calvary Hanford) — Sun, 27 Mar 2022 19:38:57 +0000

The last book of the Bible, the Revelation of Jesus Christ, very definitely predicts global government during the Great Tribulation. It is sometimes described as a One World government or the New World Order. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #693 – Push Reset

contact@calvaryhanford.com (Calvary Hanford) — Sun, 20 Mar 2022 15:35:32 +0000

The End Times we read about in the Revelation is a global, one-world, totalitarian government. The currency of its citizens will be controlled by a global economic system involving some sort of personal identifier. It sounds exactly like the world the Great Reset is openly promoting. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #692 – We Are Lions

The prophecies we most discuss are those that predict a cashless, global economy, that is accessed by a personal identifier. During the future 7-year Great Tribulation, the world leader we call the antichrist will control commerce and travel, indeed every aspect of the lives of his citizens. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #687 – Enhanced Meta Transhumans

contact@calvaryhanford.com (Calvary Hanford) — Sun, 23 Jan 2022 15:55:14 +0000

Satan’s Nephilim were the first attempt at what today is called Transhumanism. It is “the improvement of human capacities through advanced technology.” Examples are cryogenics, virtual reality, gene therapy/RNA interference, space colonization, cybernetics, autonomous self-replicating robots, molecular manufacturing, mind uploading, and artificial intelligence.

The believers in the current Church Age will be resurrected and raptured. A strong world leader will rise to power sometime afterward and exercise totalitarian control of his citizens. He will require they swear allegiance to him. Anyone who refuses will be executed. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #684 – Long COVID

contact@calvaryhanford.com (Calvary Hanford) — Sun, 19 Dec 2021 19:10:39 +0000

After the church has been resurrected and raptured, a strong world leader will gain totalitarian control of his citizens. He will require they swear allegiance to him. Anyone who refuses will be executed. The pandemic COVID19 is not an End Times plague. It has accelerated an acceptance of totalitarian control by governments around the globe. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Could the Mark of the Beast be some manner of biometric technology? Biometrics are unique individual traits, such as fingerprints, that can be used to verify identity and to transact commerce. It ‘fits’ the Bible’s prediction. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

contact@calvaryhanford.com (Calvary Hanford) — Sun, 21 Nov 2021 17:28:38 +0000

Control over buying and selling involves control over pretty much everything. If the government wants to restrict your movements, they will. If they want to track you, they will. You get the idea. We are experiencing on a small scale what this kind of control will be full scale in the future. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #680 – Somebody’s Watchin’ You

contact@calvaryhanford.com (Calvary Hanford) — Sun, 14 Nov 2021 18:25:46 +0000

The future is an intrusive surveillance state. Facial recognition, retinal scans, palm scans, and implanted chips are the tip of the technology iceberg that exist and are currently in use. Any of them could be used by government to restrict buying and selling, restrict travel, or pretty much anything else. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

contact@calvaryhanford.com (Calvary Hanford) — Sun, 07 Nov 2021 17:59:39 +0000

contact@calvaryhanford.com (Calvary Hanford) — Sun, 17 Oct 2021 12:00:04 +0000

We read about a Last Days global religious movement in the seventeenth chapter of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. It is referred to as “Babylon” because it is the final form of the religious rebellion at the Tower of Babel. We therefore expect movement towards a global religion, or at least an “ecumenical” movement, meaning all-inclusive, all-embracing, and universal. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

contact@calvaryhanford.com (Calvary Hanford) — Sun, 03 Oct 2021 18:55:08 +0000

The Book of the Revelation describes the antichrist having authoritarian control over his citizens.

COVID19 is not prophetic. However, the methods and mandates that are being utilized globally to combat it are predictive of the type of the socio-economic system that will play a significant role in the future government of the antichrist. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Citizens in the future Great Tribulation will be mandated to participate in a system by which they must produce proof of compliance in order to be allowed to work or shop or dine or attend entertainment. Without proof, their livelihood and lifestyles will be restricted. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #667 – Prove It

contact@calvaryhanford.com (Calvary Hanford) — Sun, 15 Aug 2021 17:39:52 +0000

A universal vaccine passport is not the Mark of the Beast. However, the way the leaders of the world are talking, they will establish a system like what the Revelation predicts will be in place in the Great Tribulation. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Biometrics, Artificial Intelligence, cashless commerce, the manipulation of human DNA, global government, the exponential growth of human knowledge, and the rebirth of Israel as a nation are all areas we see corroborating the End Times prophecies of the Bible. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

The trend this week has been mandating COVID19 vaccination and the requirement to show proof in order to function in society. Is this paving the way for the type of system the Antichrist will use in the Great Tribulation? (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Mandatory vaccination that requires proof for a person to travel, for employment, dining, entertainment, and anything else that a government deems necessary, sounds too much like the Last Days prediction that at some point everyone on Earth will be subjected to a contactless, cashless system of commerce involving a mark on your hand or forehead. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

The Mark of the Beast is presented in the Revelation as a means by which the governments of the future will control every aspect of a person’s life.

The Mark of the Beast. Believers and nonbelievers alike have some familiarity with it.

The final book of the Bible, the Revelation, predicts what the world will look like in the End Times – especially during the seven year Great Tribulation.

Indirectly, the global response to COVID-19 does potentially have a prophetic impact.

Does COVID-19 have anything to do with Bible prophecy? Not directly; and by that I mean, it isn’t a pestilence from the Book of the Revelation.

COVID19 is not one of the end times pestilences. Those occur during the seven year Great Tribulation. We are not in the Great Tribulation, nor will the church ever be in it. God has promised to keep us from that day.
