Heralds Of Jesus’ Coming: Why Christians Shouldn’t Tremble At World Headlines: Today I came up with ten issues that tell me the hour is later than we thought. So, here’s my latest summary. Don’t be discouraged. Look up! 1) Europe is looking for an Antichrist figure. Prophecy News Watch reports a disturbing willingness among citizens to embrace strong, decisive leadership that could bypass democratic processes if it promises stability and results. One in five Europeans say they would prefer a dictatorship in certain circumstances, and a quarter admit they would not mind if a capable leader limited democratic rights and acted without accountability—provided he was effective. Europe is imploding. It has unchecked immigration from Muslim nations, and many European nations are in serious decline, lacking sound leadership. There is this longing for a man with a plan. 2) Intensifying Lawlessness is everywhere. In Minnesota, not one elected official who participated in the Somali fraud of billions of dollars has been removed from office or arrested... In Minnesota alone, nearly 500 illegal aliens have been released back into the community because state and local officials refuse to cooperate with federal law enforcement. 3) Canada is poised to criminalize Christianity with a ban on citing biblical truths, reports The Federalist. Let that sink in. 4) The ultimate in calling evil good just transpired when the United Nations handed Iran a seat at the Women’s Rights Table. 5) Prophecy News Watch asks if we are building a prototype of “the image that speaks” from Revelation... The company is building a photorealistic, interactive digital version of Zuckerberg, capable of engaging employees in real time, trained on his voice, mannerisms, and strategic thinking. What might sound like corporate innovation to some is, to others, a striking echo of imagery found in the Book of Revelation. 6) A Pew survey says 60% of Americans have an unfavorable view of Israel...This is Tribulation-esque. Zechariah 12:3 says Israel will become the world’s burdensome stone. 7) A prophetic storm is brewing due to the war with Iran, and we’re all pondering Gog-Magog, the war outlined in Ezekiel 38...Forbes says Russian forces are now attacking Ukraine on horseback. Is this a foreshadowing? 8) The American-born Pope is stirring the pot wherever he goes as he paves the way for a global religion. 9) Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) has teased about alien life among us that has made contact with humans. UFOs and UAPs are making headlines...He claimed America would come unglued if citizens learned what government agencies have discovered. 10) In the spring of 2026, we were again reminded of serious economic instability that will eventually require a “Mr. Fix-It” to remedy. Oil prices have surged. Supply chains have been disrupted...A one-world system with a leader who can conquer such problems is being longed for. These are just ten reasons I [Jan Markell] believe we are experiencing Earth’s final hours before a trumpet and a shout removes believers forever. Don’t tremble at headlines. Know they are a herald of His coming. Pope Leo XIV’s aggressive push for ecumenical and interfaith unity is increasingly viewed by prophecy watchers as more than a diplomatic mission—it may be a significant stage-setting development in the last-days timeline. Through highly publicized visits to Muslim nations, symbolic gestures of shared worship spaces, and repeated appeals for religions to unite around peace, dignity, and justice, the Pope is helping shape a global climate where doctrinal divisions matter less than collective harmony. What many celebrate as reconciliation, others recognize as the steady construction of a spiritual framework Scripture warned would emerge in the end times. ...This is precisely how the world becomes conditioned to accept a universal religious system. One built not on doctrine, but on tolerance, coexistence, and centralized moral authority. The current Pope’s leadership has placed him at the center of that accelerating shift. https://www.prophecyrecon.com/article/pope-leo-s-last-days-agenda
