Shalom Partner and Friend of Israel,

The number one point in these Last Days regarding Biblical Prophecy of FUTURE events is the TIME sequence of when they WILL happen. Today's Church is often at odds with one another …seeing through a glass darkly, arguing over the Scriptural “timeline” of End-time Events. However, if we spend some considerable “time” delving in the Word, can clearly see that we are smack in the middle of a Prophetic convergence with TIME. The depictions of the END days are “aligning” perfectly with what is happening in today's society. God says clearly; “When the time is right, I, the Lord, WILL make it happen!” – Isaiah 60:22. God is in control of TIME and HISTORY!

Through Gaza and the Abraham Peace Accords US President Trump is trying to bring SHALOM - “peace” between the sons of Abraham; Isaac and Ishmael …BUT this can only temporarily delay what Biblical Prophets have already foretold. However, this has “set the wheel in motion” …as the stage is being set for Last Day Biblical Prophecies that are now rapidly being fulfilled! Are current-Events in our day Prophecies for our “timeline?” YES!

Everything began to change in 1948 when Israel became a Nation again after thousands of years. Before that “time nobody alive could even imagine how this could take place! They tried to make the puzzle “pieces” fit according to the generations they lived in! In our generation the “pieces of the puzzle” are simply connecting as “TIME” has now collided with Ancient End-time Prophecies to be fulfilled!

You see, every generation has asked the same question “Are we in the end times?” But today, the signs are NO longer subtle …from wars to global surveillance, from apostasy to increased knowledge, the evidence is becoming clearer each day as Bible prophecy is unfolding before our eyes. The Bible speaks extensively about the End-times through the books of; Daniel, Matthew 24, 1 and 2 Thessalonians, Revelation and many other Prophetic texts. Some of the KEY signs which include wars and rumours of wars; GLOBAL deception and false teachings; earthquakes and natural disasters; technology increasing ushering in the rise of the Antichrist; the Gospel reaching all Nations; a falling away from the faith; Increase in wickedness and the restoration of Israel as a Nation after almost 2,000 years. The infrastructure for the mark of the beast is already being built. While the actual mark has NOT yet arrived, the systems to support it are already in place. The rise of a One-World Government; “These have one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast.” - Revelation 17:13.

Today as Nations are fracturing and fear deepens the world is increasingly demanding a New World Order at any cost… thereby signalling conditions for the FINAL Prophetic alignment described in Scripture. At the very beginning of 2026 almost immediately within days after the MIDNIGHT clock changed from 2025 to 2026 …on the Gregorian Calendar across the world …things began to escalate in a way NEVER seen before across the Globe and it was as if Prophecy was now escalating - colliding with TIME! Did you know that 2026 is also the Chinese Year of the “Firey Red Horse!” This occurs only every 60 years and just so happens to be for 2026!

Isn’t it interesting that China is a member of BRICS and aligned together with countries that are anti-Israel and anti-America …including the government of South Africa! Also, when we read in Revelation 6:1-8, we can almost feel the 4-Horsemen of the Apocalypse standing ready in these Last Days at the world’s end and WILL be riding soon …fulfilling Prophecy that people have discussed for hundreds of years around the world.

It’s amazing that the 4 horses are GREEN, WHITE, RED and BLACK exactly the colours of the flags of Islamic Nations? Coincidence …but interestingly the South Africa’s flag since 1994 has the same structure as Palestinian Flag and other Islamic Nations …and also has each of these four colours represented too (only adding yellow and blue).  South African government stands with Israel’s greatest enemies; Iran and Palestine Gaza and has taken Israel to the ICJ Courts for genocide yet is SILENT about the genocide of Iranian people by the brutal regime of Islamic Mullahs taking place …and its own people.

The WHITE Horse = deceit; RED Horse = war; BLACK horse = famine/death and the GREEN horse = disease!

There is something at work that common sense and logic cannot defeat… It's a spirit of Anti-Christ, anti-Jew, anti-Jesus and anti-Judeo-Christian beliefs. Antisemitism, immorality and humanism that has penetrated modern culture. This "spirit" has already surrounded the globe and infiltrated EVERY level of Government, Education, Industry, Sports and Religion. What does this mean for us personally? What does it mean for the Nations? When does God finally say, "Enough is enough?"

Are we the Church the Body of Christ - true Judea-Christian believers in "a moment of pause, or delay" before the Rapture (Harpazo) occurs …and then the Lord's ULTIMATE judgment on the Nations of the world for what they have done to Israel? This is the warning. And from the Word of the Lord and a shadow of what is coming here and now! The convergence of current events and Biblical Prophecy is happening at breakneck speed! Let's be clear - God’s judgment is swift and true and is barrelling towards our fallen world. Now is the time to reignite for Christ and make us ready for God's "escape plan" that is "literally out of this world!"

2026 in its very early days revealed a world that is accelerating toward "systemic instability" and paints a picture of a world that is "unravelling" simultaneously at multiple pressure points… Governments are weakening or dividing or splintering. Trust in Government Institutions are collapsing, and Economic Systems are increasingly used as "weapons," …and emerging Technologies are consolidating unprecedented power in the hands of a few! Add to this intensifying wars, cyber conflict, energy insecurity, and looming natural resource shortages such as water, oil and gas …and we then have a GLOBAL environment primed NOT for stability …but for desperation!

Desperation is where dangerous solutions are born… Scripture has long warned us that GLOBAL chaos would precede the rise of the Antichrist - a deceptive World Leader who promises "peace, order, and security/safety" …but instead delivers bondage and destruction.

The book of Revelation does NOT describe the Antichrist emerging in a world of "calm and contentment" …BUT that he rises in a world exhausted by conflict, fractured by fear …and desperate for someone …anyone - who can make the pain stop! Are we seeing this forming before our eyes? YES! Instability is accelerating "on nearly every front" echoing the words of Yeshua (Jesus) Himself. In Matthew 24:6-8, Christ warned His Disciples that before the END would come …the world would experience; wars and rumours of wars, nation rising against nation, famines, and upheaval …what He called; "the beginning of birth pains." Birth pains are NOT random; they intensify, converge, and signal that something inevitable is approaching – something new is being born!

While the Globalists and World Leaders will SAY, "peace and safety" – then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with child, and they shall NOT escape!" – 1 Thessalonians 5:3. This implies that believers CAN escape …but NOT the unbelievers. You see, if it weren’t for pre-Tribulation then only a small amount of people would be Raptured. (The Greek word translated "caught up" in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 is harpazo which in the Latin Vulgate was translated as rapiemer, from which the term rapture is derived.  It is a Biblical term for the event …when God takes ALL believers, living and dead, out of this world to meet the Lord in the air (clouds). From that time on, the Church will be with Christ in heaven where ALL believers will abide with Him in the place He has prepared (see; John 14:1-3).

With post-Tribulation they would first have to face God’s wrath! Think on this further as we could then ask the question… "where would we be Raptured to?" This doesn’t make sense! Yeshua (Jesus Christ) made it very clear that AFTER the Tribulation at His Second Coming is when "…He comes to us on earth!" In the Rapture "we go to meet Him in the air!" (Matthew 24:30-31). If He is coming down earth to us, why would we leave Him? So truly, we do believe in a pre-Tribulation Rapture …that will happen maybe very soon at any time very soon we will meet our King in the air!

What makes this moment in TIME of our generation unique is NOT just the presence of CHAOS but the infrastructure now forming to manage it… Political instability is conditioning the world to accept a centralized authority! As Nation States struggle to govern fractured populations, the appeal of a unifying GLOBAL figure WILL grow stronger as sovereignty becomes an obstacle rather than a safeguard. In times of FEAR, people trade "freedom" for …promises of security (safety) and often do so willingly!

Let’s look back in TIME for a moment and remember that it was only just 5 years ago, in 2020, when the Covid-19 plan-demic lockdowns filled hearts with FEAR around the entire Globe? It was so very easy for the Globalists to convince most people to remain at home under "lock-down" (prison term), take the jab, wear a mask, isolate, stay 6-Feet apart, stay away from beloved family members and friends, etc? Many were willing to do so for many reasons, and some were forced to do so or lose their jobs YES, everything changed in 2020 …and remained so until 2022 when the world began to realize it was ALL part of the WEF - Globalist Plan for 2030 Agenda! Everything was and still is pointing towards 2030 and beyond being the "critical point" of convergence where the world as we know it …and the Church Age is coming to an END. After "Covid" came the "Climate Change" Agenda followed by G5 and Smart Cities and oh yes…remember WEF - Klaus Schaub saying, "You will own nothing and be happy" …AND "You shall eat bugs!"

Then on 7 October 2023 the brutal - planned attack on innocent Israeli civilians by Hamas terrorists happened assisted by Palestinians from Gaza …and once again the world began to change in a different way! Hamas is a branch of the terrorist’s organization - Muslim Brotherhood, a Militant Islamic movement founded in Egypt in 1928. Hamas's long-term strategic goal remains, as always, Israel’s destruction and Its core ideology remain permeated with Anti-Semitism. Hamas is allied with the most Anti-Semitic regime of IRAN today …who have "proxy" Nations doing its bidding from mostly corrupt governments leaders as well as radical Islamic Nations. With Gaza now just as the Bible warned in Zephaniah 2:4 that it would be forsaken and become a ruinous heap! This has and still is happening and 2026 will be another year where we see fulfillment of this Prophecy! Despite the turmoil in the Middle East and since the gruesome attack on Israel the pain, suffering and destruction of land and hope …the Abraham Accords are still alive and in fact revived for NOW because of Gaza. They have laid a foundation far beyond 2023 any one conflict for greater peace in the Middle East and US President Trump together with PM Bibi Netanyahu are God’s instruments for change! We need to watch and pray!

The WAR nobody saw coming 03 January 2026… War usually announces itself loudly with Sirens. Explosions. Gunfire, etc., and that’s how Venezuelan security forces expected it to begin! Instead, the raid to capture brutal dictator - Nicolás Maduro and his wife was a war that arrived in SILENCE …and then in sound so violent it crushed the body from the inside. One moment, radar screens were alive and the next, they went dark with NO warning- NO incoming aircraft and NO alarms. Then the sky filled with drones and what followed, if the account is even partially accurate, reads less like modern combat and more like a preview of "something unsettlingly new" …a form of WARFARE where the enemy doesn’t overwhelm you with numbers …BUT with technology you don’t yet understand and cannot fight! It was not a game – "Call of Duty" but the reality of the times that we are living in!

With Modern WAREFARE there was NO prolonged firefight - NO drawn-out siege - NO heroic last stand. Instead, a small group… perhaps only just 20 US Soldiers descended from a handful of helicopters and obliterated hundreds with chilling ease. These soldiers didn't behave like ordinary troops, and their movements were too fast, their fire too precise …and their coordination too perfect. But still it wasn't just their weapons as soon after came the sound. Not an explosion. Not a blast. Something else entirely …BUT a pressure - a vibration - a force that seemed to crawl inside the skull and tear the body apart from within. Venezuelan troops dropped instantly as Noses bled and some vomited blood. Others collapsed, unable to stand, unable to think, unable even to fight back.

This was new technology and this was the new WARFARE being used and it ended quickly and most terrifying! If this account reflects reality -- even in part …it suggests something deeply unsettling: future wars may not look like wars at all. Before a single soldier fired a shot, Venezuela's eyes and ears were reportedly taken away as RADAR went dark and Communications failed. Confusion spread …and by the time anyone realized what was happening, it was already over. This is the new battlefield: NOT one of trenches and tanks, but one of invisible dominance. You don't defeat the enemy by killing them outright …you defeat them by making them helpless!

Beginning 28 December 2025, demonstrations erupted across multiple Cities in IRAN… amid nationwide unrest against the Islamic Republic government a brutal regime of dictatorship due to a deepening ECONOMIC crisis and the abrupt collapse of Iran’s national currency. The events have been described as the largest uprising since the 2022 and potentially the largest since the 1979 Islamic Revolution! On 01 January 2026 began the first uprising as shopkeepers shut business and continued to escalate there onwards 10 January 2026 protests were held in 96 cities across 27 provinces. Shortly before midnight Tehran time on 11 January, the group tracked protests in 186 cities across all of the nation's 31 provinces calling for the overthrow of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the return of the exiled son of Iran's last king, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi. Iran's last shah, as he is known, was overthrown by Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution. 

Why is it that crowds gathered outside synagogues, in streets and on University Campuses to protest Israel's war with Hamas terrorists in Gaza crying "free Palestine" …yet the streets fall eerily quiet when Iran's own regime is accused of slaughtering its people? Where are the student mass marches, the candlelight vigils in major cities around the world …and including the South African government when Iranians risk everything to overthrow a brutal dictatorship? Why does outrage ignite only in one direction? This is not a trick question. It is a moral question as we must ask ourselves with honesty and courage… Why do they only protest when Jews are involved but remain SILENT when Muslims, Persians, Women, and Africans are being killed by the brutal Islamic regime? And we ask again where are the Media? Or is it just because no Jews – no news! And, yet SILENCE has a voice too – it says that what is happening is accepted!

Reports emerged from Iran painting a grim and horrifying picture… Under a near-total communications blackout, the world received only fragments just enough to suggest a tragedy of massacre proportions. Eyewitnesses describe hospitals overwhelmed and patients involved in protests shot dead in their hospital beds by the IRGC (Iranian Revolutionary Guards), blood supplies critically low, bodies piling up, while snipers positioned on rooftops to kill protestors. Human rights groups report that casualties rose by the hour including the "public executions by hanging" for anyone who dared to voice against the regime! Where are the celebrities, the social media campaigns, the carefully worded condemnations? The contrast is impossible to ignore. Protesters who claim to stand for "human rights" seem energized only when Israel is the villain. 

As tensions rise, a massive military buildup in the Middle East suggests that U.S. and Israel strike on Iran... in support of the Iranian people and against the regime brutalizing them. If and when that happens, the pattern is predictable because the same activists SILENT today will flood the streets tomorrow to protest NOT only Israel BUT America and across the Western World too. It continues on and only God knows the final outcome, but we must PRAY for the Iranian people who have been brutally abused for 47 years!

Isn’t it just so amazing… Nothing is just coincidence! During his first term President Trump the 45^th President of the United States made the decision to move the US Embassy from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem was simply by Divine Hand of God upon Trump! Israel saw this as a connection to Isaiah 45 and Trump the Modern-day Cyrus for Israel …and even minted coins in honour and expression of gratitude of US President Trump! During Trump’s first term Israeli PM Bibi Netanyahu was also in Office!

Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s Eternal Capital was the MOST pro-Israel decision of any President since Harry S. Truman's support of Israel's rebirth in 1948 and coincided with Israel’s 70^th birthday in 2018. We believe that one of the most important events in American history since US President Harry Truman’s recognition of the State of Israel on May 14, 1948. Truman felt great satisfaction in what he had been able to do for the Jewish people, and was deeply moved by their expressions of gratitude, then and for years to come. When the Chief Rabbi of Israel, Isaac Halevi Herzog, called at the White House, he told Truman; ‘God put you in your mother’s womb so you would be the instrument to bring the rebirth of Israel after two thousand years!" America’s friendship toward Israel has NOT always been perfectly consistent by any means BUT, the fact remains that America has been Israel’s greatest friend in modern history, and that is significant!

Now let’s look at 20 January 2025… amazingly Donald J. Trump is unanimoisly re-elcted  but this time as  47^th President of United States of America while Bibi Netanyahu and are both once more back as Leaders for their Nations! Isn’t it just amazing how God works? No matter what they are back and accomplishing the impossible. In 2023 when Israel needed a friend as the brutal attacks came NOT only from Hamas terrorists in Gaza planned and sponsored by Iran …BUT also escalated in the North from Hezbollah in Lebanon and ISIS/ Al-Qaeda in Syria as well as the Houthis in Yemen! Trump also was instrumental in the release of ALL the hostages still alive after 734 days held in tunnels and starved (most hostages had been brutally killed and abused) as well as bodies of the dead Israeli hostages.

Here's where it gets more interesting… Isn’t it just once again amazing – Trump is currently the 47^th President and IRAN have a grim history of being under a crushing brutal dictatorship for 47 years in power, evidence trickling out of Iran suggests thousands killed or brutally attacked by the regime. Can you see the connection? In 1979 then Persia was renamed Iran by the Ayatollahs! On the streets, protesters are NOW openly demanding the ousting of the country’s oppressive rulers, chanting "Death to the dictator" (Ayatollah Khomeini) …and, in some quarters, even calling for the return of the king Pahlavi royal dynasty, which was kicked out in the 1979 revolution that birthed the evillest regime! We need to watch and see the outcome as we also know that someday PERSIA will be involved in Ezekiel 38/39 war against Israel.

There may be "peace" plans, once enemies now also seem to be friends of Israel …BUT we all know Prophetically things have to change again! The Bible Prophecies MUST come to pass, Damascus will fall - Isaiah 17 …just as we see today Gaza has become a ruinous heap (Zephaniah 2:4). And if we think about the war in Gaza - Hamas has caused this to happen when they entered God’s Land (Israel) and brutally attacked His people (the Jews).  

One of the strongest evidences for the proof of Israel and the Church (Body of Christ) is the fulfilment of Prophecy… One 1/4 of the Bible is Prophecy, and these prophecies are specific and detailed! There are NOT one or two but hundreds of them. Many are written Centuries before they took place. Judea-Christianity is unique among other world’s religions. The Bible is like NO other book in the world. There are so many other things taking place in our World today that we also need to be aware of Prophetically confirming that we are living in the times of the End!  Revelation 13 describes a future system in which "buying and selling" are controlled and where Economic participation itself becomes a tool of obedience leading to a cashless, digitized, Global integrated Society …BUT this is NO longer futuristic. It is nearly complete!

As the Bible keeps telling us over and over "to WATCH!" That could NOT be after the Tribulation because think about this …what would there be to "watch" for? This is obvious because the Bible gave us the length of the Tribulation = 7-Years …and so we know how long it would be …and so we would NOT need to watch as we would know. Also, very few would survive the Tribulation and so would be "left behind" to be able to even watch? Think about this! The more we think about the post Tribulation less sense it makes as there is no logic behind it as nobody will be safe. If Noah did NOT listen to God and build the Ark as Yahweh God told him to do (Genesis 6:13-22) …then he and his family would have drowned! He would NOT have survived that wrath – that Tribulation and would NOT have been protected if God did NOT personally SEAL Noah and his family in the Ark. "As it was in the days of Noah so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man." – Matthew 24:37 / Luke 17:26.

You see the FLOOD of Genesis was God’s first “wrath” on a sinful world just as Rapture – Harpazo is God’s sealing us in Heaven – before the coming “wrath.” Not even hiding in caves would protect us if we were “left behind.” Nobody will be safe as right now we are under the “Age of Grace” (Acts 2; Titus 2:11; Matthew 24:30-31) BUT once the Rapture happens it will not be so. There will come a day when salvation through Christ will NO longer be available (Isaiah 55:6; Acts 17:29-31; Romans 13:11; Ephesians 1:9-10; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12). That’s why it says that “those who endure to the end will be saved!” However, this message is for the Tribulation saints as the Rapture would have been. It will be a difficult time for believers who are in the Tribulation as they will be fighting NOT only for survival BUT for their “FAITH!” Right now, we the Body of Christ – true believers are under God’s Grace and NOT His wrath. Yeshua (Jesus) said; “pray that you are worthy to escape the wrath that is coming!” – Luke 21:6.

As we clearly see Biblical Prophecy will happen in God’s timing and confirms that End-time events will NOT just occur in isolation BUT will converge timeously and simultaneously, creating an unmistakable pattern for us to connect the dots together. Yeshua (Jesus) Himself warned in Matthew 24 that the Generation witnessing multiple SIGNS at the same time would see His return! Today's World presents an unprecedented convergence of Prophetic indicators that has captured the attention of Biblical scholars and believers worldwide …and even unbelievers can sense there is a change and something different is happening!

In a season when Israel is too often seen through the lens of war, grief, and isolation, a quieter and far more hopeful story is unfolding …one rooted not in politics, but in soil… Across Israel, and especially along the battered Gaza border, red, yellow, orange, and white TULIPS are beginning to bloom. They are not accidental. They are intentional and they are a gift of love from Dutch Christians to the Jewish people. (The planting of tulips throughout Israel was part of a project for more than 25 years)

This year 2026, saw 150,000 tulip bulbs donated by Christians from the Netherlands quietly growing and blooming… More than 50,000 of those tulips are now emerging in communities along the Gaza border--areas that suffered immense trauma following the 7 October 2023 of the brutal Hamas invasion into Southern Israel. The planting of tulips deliberately in the places that endured the deepest wounds sends a message that suffering does NOT get the final word!

We most sincerely believe that God WILL bless you for your faithfulness and love for His land and chosen people. God’s Word is true! He IS watching to see how the Nations are treating His people. God will have mercy on Israel through Gentile believers acting as mediators towards them. This is one of the most amazing revelations ever given to the Church – an opportunity to do something that carries the highest priority in the heart of God. Yet, sadly, so few have seen the potential and the rewards of serving God in this manner - as agents of mercy to Israel and the Jewish people! Israel was and still is despised today and a despised Nation continually turning away from God …BUT nothing ever altered the purpose of God for that Nation. The "despised element" is always a noticeable element in the purpose of God. When the Saviour of the world came, He came of that "despised Nation" (and just like Israel) He Himself was "…despised and rejected by men." And there is that despised element; "…things that are despised God has chosen," - 1 Corinthians 1:28.

We hope that you enjoy and become more informed by our work. We serve an awesome God and we are humbled by this opportunity to bring you this information.

With Shalom to you and your family always,
