Now The End Begins
Host And Founder Of ‘Now The End Begins’ Geoffrey Grider:
From The Mysterious Drone Sightings Over New Jersey In 2024 To Today’s California Warnings, The Iranian ‘Mothership’ Story Has Returned but with a twist.
In December of 2024, a strange story began circulating about mysterious drones flying over New Jersey. Soon after, a claim surfaced that Iran had positioned a “mothership” off the East Coast launching drones toward the United States. The story spread quickly, the headlines ran with it, and social media exploded. But within days the Pentagon flatly denied it, satellite imagery showed Iranian drone ships still sitting near Iran, and the entire narrative quietly faded away. Fast forward to today and suddenly the same storyline is back — except now it is being discussed in connection with a potential Iranian drone attack on California from a vessel offshore which is quite real.
At first glance it sounds like the same rumor recycled again. But the reality is more complicated than that. The difference today is that the concept of a drone mothership is no longer theoretical. Iran actually built them. Over the past two years, Iran has begun converting large commercial container ships into floating drone bases capable of launching unmanned aircraft far from its own shores. One of the most notable examples is the Iranian naval vessel IRIS Shahid Bagheri, a converted container ship outfitted with a drone runway, helicopter facilities, missiles, and electronic warfare systems. In essence, Iran cannot build a traditional aircraft carrier, so it built something cheaper and far more unconventional — a drone carrier.
The United States monitors the world’s oceans with satellites, radar systems, and naval patrols. A large vessel approaching the American coastline would not go unnoticed, and drones entering U.S. airspace would trigger multiple detection systems. In other words, launching a drone attack on the U.S. mainland from offshore would be extremely risky and difficult to pull off without detection. That is why the 2024 New Jersey story collapsed so quickly, there was simply no evidence to support it. But that was then, and this is now.

In military terms, this is called power projection, and it allows a nation with limited conventional naval power to extend its reach across entire oceans. So when intelligence analysts talk about the possibility of drones being launched from a vessel offshore, they are not inventing science fiction. The technology exists, but that does not mean the rumors are automatically true.

Harbinger’s Daily
By Greg Laurie: Is the Rapture real? There’s always debate around this topic.
Let’s start with the obvious: the Rapture sounds crazy. Jesus descends from Heaven, dead people rise from their graves, and living believers are suddenly caught up into the sky—like the world’s strangest episode of “Stranger Things.” Sounds like the stuff your uncle mutters about after three cups of church coffee. Except—the Rapture is right there in Scripture. Paul says it. John says it. Jesus says it.
Opposing Views
Now, critics like to pounce: “But the word Rapture isn’t even in the Bible!” Neither are the words Trinity or even Bible. And yet, here we are, still believing in all three. The word comes from the Latin rapturus, which translates the Greek word harpazo—meaning “to snatch up, grab by force.” Imagine a parent reaching out and pulling their child away from danger just in time. That’s the picture Scripture gives us of the Rapture.
Some say, “Oh, the Rapture is just a modern invention, some 19th-century gimmick.” Nonsense. Yes, J.N. Darby helped popularize it in more recent times, but long before him, the early Church Fathers like Irenaeus and Cyprian wrote about believers being “snatched up” before judgment.
It’s not new—it’s biblical.
The Rapture In Scripture
We also hear about the Rapture straight from Paul, Peter, James, and most importantly, Jesus Himself: “‘And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also’” (John 14:3 NKJV).
The most familiar passage on the Rapture is 1 Thessalonians 4:16–18: “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.”
And if that sounds far-fetched, remember Enoch—who literally walked off the face of the earth into God’s presence—and Elijah, who rode to Heaven in a fiery chariot. The prototypes are already in the Old Testament.

Prophecy News Watch
By David Bowen/Harbing's Daily: Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming the modern world. From business and education to finance and communication, AI systems are becoming deeply embedded in everyday life. What once seemed like science fiction is now reality. Governments, corporations, and technology leaders are investing billions of dollars into AI development, believing it will shape the future of civilization.
But this rapid transformation raises an important spiritual question for believers: Is the world beginning to follow artificial intelligence more than the Word of God?
For Christians who take biblical prophecy seriously, the rise of technologies capable of influencing human thought, communication, and decision-making deserves careful examination.
"Everything Made Of Words"
One of the more striking warnings came from Yuval Noah Harari, of the World Economic Forum. Harari stated that AI may soon dominate language itself, declaring that "everything made of words will be taken over."
If such a statement were to come to pass, it would include books, news, legal documents, educational materials, digital communication, and even religious writings.
While Scripture itself cannot be replaced or altered in its divine authority, the interpretation, distribution, and presentation of words increasingly pass through digital systems powered by AI. In a world where algorithms curate information, believers must remain vigilant about the sources that shape their understanding.
The Bible reminds us that truth does not originate from human invention or machine intelligence. It comes from God. "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God" (2 Timothy 3:16 KJV).

Israel National News
By INN Staff: The Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation International (LBCI) reported on Thursday that the terrorist who carried out the attack at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan, is a Lebanese man named Ayman Ghazali, originally from the town of Machghara in the Beqaa Valley.
According to the report, the attacker allegedly wanted to avenge the deaths of his two brothers, Qassem and Ibrahim Ghazali, who were killed in an IDF strike on the town last week.
So far, US authorities have not released the terrorist's identity or any details about him, so this information has not been confirmed by an official source.
The attack occurred at about 1:00 p.m. local time on Thursday, when the attacker crashed his car into the synagogue.
Witnesses reported hearing gunshots soon after the vehicle crashed into the building. The vehicle also caught fire.
Police forces were called to the scene and were able to eliminate the shooter.

He posted:
Earlier today, an armed individual opened fire at Old Dominion University, leaving one person dead and two others wounded. The shooter is now deceased thanks to a group of brave students who stepped in and subdued him – actions that undoubtedly saved lives along with the quick response of law enforcement. The FBI is now investigating the shooting as an act of terrorism. Our Joint Terrorism Task Force is fully engaged, embedded with local authorities, and providing all resources necessary in the investigation.
Jihad Watch
By Robert Spencer: Britain’s civilizational suicide is taking place, as you might expect, under the politest of veneers. These affairs don’t have to be messy and loud, now, do they? Every act of cultural surrender and self-abnegation is taking place with the most rational of explanations. And so as that once green and pleasant land goes gentle into that good night, it is comforted by the thought that as its demise approached, it never once lapsed into anything so tasteless as “racism,” “Islamophobia,” or a desire to preserve (heaven forfend!) its own history, heritage, and national character.
The Economic Collapse
By Michael Snyder: History doesn’t always repeat itself, but it often rhymes. When fighting erupted in Europe in 1914, it wasn’t initially considered to be that big of a deal. Many dismissed the conflict as yet another minor European war, and at first most of the rest of the world stayed out of it. It was only later that it came to be known as World War I. Today, there is lots of speculation that World War III “could be coming”, but of course the truth is that we are already in the middle of it. Just like during the early days of World War I, most people won’t fully understand the significance of what they are currently experiencing until later. Interestingly, it turns out that the 2026 calendar is precisely identical to the 1914 calendar…
Every now and then, the calendar quietly repeats itself. Basically, it is a mathematical coincidence that rarely captures any attention – until history gives it a chilling context and this time, it is a super chilly one! The 2026 calendar is exactly the same as that of 1914 – the year that witnessed the first world war. And as tensions escalate between Iran and Israel – with US also being involved, the similarity has also sparked online theories, speculations and uneasy conversations about how history could somehow repeat itself.Isn’t that wild?
Hope For Our Times
Today in Prophecy 03-12-26
The Truth Daily News: Pastor Tom Hughes, he examines how today’s moral collapse, growing lawlessness, economic control, and hostility toward Israel are helping set the stage for the rise of Antichrist, while also pointing to the increasing spread of Islam and anti-Jewish violence in places like New York, Texas, and California. Drawing from Scripture and history, he connects current events to the warnings of Jesus, the judgments involving Assyria and Babylon, and the spiritual condition of America, urging believers to stay alert, pray for Israel, and recognize that the battle unfolding around us is ultimately spiritual.
Pastor Tom also shares updates on upcoming teachings, asks for prayer for ministry friends in Israel and Iran, and reminds viewers that God still watches over Israel and calls His people to stand firm in truth.

Synopsis: Following the recent escalation of events between Iran, Israel, and the United States, many are wondering how these developments may fit into biblical prophecy and how to discern which narrative to follow. In our March 2026 Prophecy Update, we seek to filter through the noise by examining historical facts, breaking down current viewpoints, and seeing how these tensions might figure into the “wars and rumors of wars” Jesus speaks of in Matthew 24:6.
