 America Has Become An ‘Antichrist Nation’ And Christians Seem Unable Or Unwilling To Come To Terms With That Reality

Host And Founder Of ‘Now The End Begins’ Geoffrey Grider:
Jesus Warned That Deception Would Define The Last Days, And Today The Antichrists Of Government, Media, Technology And Religion Are Operating At Full Power

We are living in an age when the antichrists no longer hide in dark corners but they stand beneath spotlights, speak from television screens, wear expensive suits, carry government credentials and even walk into the pulpit holding a King James Bible. Jesus Christ warned that the defining characteristic of the last days would not merely be war, disease or political turmoil, but deception. The modern world is drowning in information while starving for truth, and the louder the machinery of propaganda becomes, the more difficult it is for the undiscerning person to separate fact from carefully manufactured perception. But what about the Christian, the Bible believer who should be looking for these things, even anticipating these things? All is not quiet on the western front, and the skies are rapidly darkening.

“Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.” 1 John 2:18 (KJV)

The COVID era demonstrated how quickly fear could be converted into power. Emergency declarations became lockdowns, dissent was suppressed, institutional narratives repeatedly changed, and millions were pressured to accept medical decisions under threat of losing employment, education or access to ordinary life. Then there is the expanding alliance between government, media, military power, surveillance technology and private capital. Figures such as Peter Thiel represent a technological world capable of collecting, organizing and analyzing information on a scale previous generations could scarcely imagine, while Pete Hegseth represents the polished fusion of television personality, political messaging and military authority. Most disturbing of all is deception inside the professing Church. Political deception can corrupt a nation, but spiritual deception can destroy souls.

Charisma, preaching ability, celebrity friendships and institutional reputation must never be permitted to shield abuse, silence victims or prevent serious allegations from receiving an honest investigation. Kenny Baldwin didn’t fall, Jack Schaap didn’t fall, they are literal antichrists targeting the Church, with hundreds more just like them waiting in the wings. This is THE AGE OF DECEPTION – an age in which governments manipulate fear, politicians manufacture loyalty, corporations monetize personal information, media personalities sell carefully constructed narratives and religious institutions protect reputations at the expense of truth. Christian, we are surrounded by antichrists who are with one voice preparing this world to receive the Antichrist. Today we lift all the end times rocks to show you what’s crawling beneath them. Consider this your ‘golden age’ antidote!

 Literal, Eternal, And Unconditional: Bible Prophecy Begins And Ends With Israel

By Dr. Robert Jeffress: Imagine you open to the middle of John Grisham’s latest best-seller. Immediately you face unfamiliar names and locations. To make sense of the story, you flip to the end. But the ending seems more confusing than the middle. You slam the book shut in disgust. Grisham has really lost his touch, you conclude.

This analogy is about as subtle as a sledgehammer. But it illustrates why so many people have trouble with Bible prophecy. To understand prophecy, we should not start in the middle of the Book—with Ezekiel and Daniel—or at the end—with Revelation. No, we should begin at the beginning—with Genesis.

It’s there, in Genesis 12:1-3, that God makes a startling promise to a man named Abraham. All prophecy hangs on this promise, or “covenant.” To better understand this covenant, and how it relates to prophecy, let’s look at the contents of the covenant, the character of the covenant, and the consequences of the covenant.

Content Of The Covenant

The first thing God promised Abraham was Land. Abraham was born in the idolatrous city of Ur, around 2166 BC. In His sovereign grace, God called Abraham out of this lifestyle.

In Genesis 12:1, God says, “Go forth from your country, and from your relatives and from your father’s house, to the land which I will show you.” At the age of 75, Abraham uprooted his family and possessions and moved to a distant country he had never seen. It was only later, after Abraham had acted, that God provided the details of that land in Genesis 15:18- 21.

God also promised Abraham a lineage to fill the land. Genesis 12:2 states, “And I will make you a great nation.” Genesis 22:17 adds, “I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the seashore.” Remember, God made this promise to Abraham when he was 75 years old. Not only this, but his wife, Sarah, was barren. Yet God fulfilled this promise, giving them physical, and spiritual descendants beyond number.



Prophecy News Watch
By PNW Staff: Donald Trump may command the world's most powerful military, but today he faces an enemy that understands something equally powerful: time.

Iran no longer needs to defeat America on the battlefield. It only needs to make every available option so politically, economically and militarily painful that Washington hesitates. If that is Tehran's strategy, it may already be working.

Over the past several weeks, President Trump has repeatedly signaled that military action remained on the table, only to pause again as negotiations resumed. On the surface, the decision appears understandable. Iran has already demonstrated its willingness to disrupt maritime traffic and threaten one of the world's most important energy corridors. But military planners fear something far worse than the current standoff.

The real nightmare scenario is not simply more interference with shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. It is a coordinated Iranian campaign against the oil fields, refineries, export terminals, pipelines and energy infrastructure of America's Gulf allies.

 How Twitter Turned Spain’s Border Crisis Into A Global Jewish Conspiracy In 72 Hours

By Tamar Stein: An analysis released by the Combat Antisemitism Movement’s (CAM) Antisemitism Research Center (ARC) documented how a humanitarian emergency on Spain’s border with Morocco was transformed into a worldwide accusation against the Jewish state within three days. The ARC identified 173 posts from 119 influencer accounts on X that recast the migrant surge into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta as a Jewish plot, reaching an estimated 103.1 million people.

“A humanitarian emergency at Europe’s border was turned into a global antisemitic campaign in under 72 hours, and X did nothing to slow it down,” said Sacha Roytman Dratwa, CEO of the Combat Antisemitism Movement. “This is not a story about a few bad actors. It is a story about a platform whose design rewards the fastest and most inflammatory explanation available, and on X that explanation is increasingly a Jewish conspiracy.”

Between 50,000 and 60,000 migrants crossed into Ceuta on July 30, prompting Spain to declare a state of emergency. The documented causes were a Spanish domestic legal ruling barring the summary return of migrants intercepted at sea, the deteriorating state of Spanish-Moroccan relations, and years of strain on Europe’s asylum system. Spanish Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska blamed people-smuggling networks for exploiting migrants and spreading misleading interpretations of the court ruling. Morocco’s Interior Ministry likewise pointed to social media misinformation and human trafficking networks. Spanish officials said the death toll from the crossing had reached at least 72 by Sunday.

That was not the story that spread on X. ARC’s 173 posts generated 57.5 million views, 1.9 million likes, and 368,400 shares within 48 hours. The average post reached an audience the size of a national newspaper’s circulation.



Geller Report
 45,000 Islamic “Soldiers” Attend Massive Ashura Procession Through Dearborn Streets, Attack Citizen Journalist

By Pamela Geller: Amy Mek: Tens of thousands flooded Michigan this weekend in a massive Islamic procession – black flags, Arabic chants, Hezbollah-linked imagery – a scene ripped straight out of the Middle East.

This isn’t a cultural festival.

It’s a victory parade.

A living reminder that Dearborn has already been conquered without a single shot fired.

While the streets belong to the new majority, Christians and Jews are reduced to second-class citizens in their own city – told they’re “not welcome,” ignored when they complain about discrimination, and left unprotected.

And our federal government? Turning a blind eye.

This is what demographic conquest looks like when no one stops it.

 In Mamdani’s New York,
It’s 1933 All Over Again

By Robert Spencer: New York City’s Marxist Muslim Mayor Zohran Mamdani acted quickly, once he moved into Gracie Mansion, to demonstrate that his venomous anti-Israel campaign rhetoric was not just an appeal to the Democrat Party’s growing and aggressive hard-left faction. On his very first day in office, he revoked the city’s International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance framework for combating antisemitism.

It’s easy to see why Mamdani would not have wanted to be committed to combating antisemitism: he was busy stirring it up. On July 21, Mamdani falsely accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of being a war criminal and carrying out a genocide of “Palestinians.” Two days later, a Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” stabbed an identifiably Jewish man who was leaving Jewish services.

Nor was that an isolated incident. The Jerusalem Post reported Thursday that “Mamdani’s own police commissioner reported hate crimes up nearly 12% citywide, with 55% targeting Jews, who represent about 10% of the city’s population.”



The Economic Collapse
 Spokane Is On Fire! Hundreds Of Homes Have Burned Down As Massive Wildfires Rage All Over The Western U.S.

By Michael Snyder: The map above is so crazy that I don’t even have the words to adequately describe it. It is a real map that comes from WatchDuty.org, and it shows wildfires that are actively burning in this country right now. As you can see, enormous wildfires are raging throughout the western third of the nation. A combination of intense heat, severe drought, high winds and neglected forests have created conditions that are unlike anything the region has ever seen before. Every day more homes are being lost, and the economic damage that we are witnessing is incalculable.

As I write this article, three large wildfires that have just erupted are causing immense damage in the Spokane area.

According to the latest update, approximately 7,500 acres have burned, more than 600 structures have been destroyed, and all three fires are 0% contained.
