Current Events

As we navigate through increasingly turbulent times, I feel compelled to share an urgent message with you: a storm is coming, and most people aren’t ready. But here’s the good news – with proper preparation, you can not only survive but thrive through whatever challenges lie ahead. This isn’t just another warning; it’s a divine invitation to strengthen your spiritual foundations before the winds begin to blow.

Understanding the Concept of “Battening Down the Hatches”

Let me paint a picture for you. In sailing terminology, “battening down the hatches” was a crucial practice used by sailors when they spotted an approaching storm. They would secure their ship by closing all openings with wooden strips to prevent water from entering and potentially sinking the vessel.

Here’s the key insight: if you wait until you’re in the middle of the storm to secure your hatches, it’s already too late. The same principle applies to our spiritual lives. We need to prepare before the challenges hit, not during them. Think about Noah – he didn’t wait until the first raindrops fell to start building the ark. He prepared in advance, likely facing ridicule and skepticism, but his preparation made all the difference.

The Seven Spiritual Hatches We Must Secure

1. The Hatch of God’s Word

The first and most fundamental hatch we need to secure is our relationship with God’s Word. I’ve noticed that many Christians have become biblically illiterate, preferring to hear from various voices on social media rather than directly from Scripture. This vulnerability makes us susceptible to false teaching.

Remember what Jesus said in Matthew 7:24: “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” Notice the emphasis on both hearing AND doing. Satan himself can quote Scripture – the difference lies in obedience.

Let me be practical here: start with a daily reading plan. In my own family, we’ve committed to reading Scripture together, even if it means gathering at 11:30 PM to make it happen. Yes, we sometimes cut it close, but we make it a priority. The key isn’t perfection; it’s persistence. When you read, don’t just skim – ask yourself, “What is God saying to me, and what am I going to do about it today?”

2. The Hatch of Prayer

The second hatch represents our prayer life. As I often say, seven days without prayer makes one weak. Many of us never skip a meal but regularly skip prayer. We need to shift from emergency-only prayer to consistent, intentional communion with God.

Think about it: if you only pray in emergencies, you’re praying too late. The key is to pray before the emergency, preparing your spirit for whatever may come. Prayer isn’t just about asking for things; it’s about allowing God to realign your desires with His purposes.

I’ve seen this transformation in my own life. Recently, while taking communion with my family, we experienced God’s presence in such a tangible way. My daughter and I both sensed Jesus’s presence in the same spot in our kitchen. These moments don’t happen by accident, they come through cultivating a lifestyle of prayer and awareness of God’s presence.

3. The Hatch of Worship

Looking at Acts 16:25, we see Paul and Silas praying and singing hymns in prison. This teaches us something profound: your captivity always has an audience. Sometimes God puts you in situations not just for your benefit, but so others can witness how a true believer handles adversity.

I’ve seen too many believers who pray regularly but don’t worship consistently. We need both. Worship isn’t just about singing in tune, it’s about releasing your voice in praise regardless of your circumstances. Some of you have fathers who have yelled in your house but never sang in your house. It’s time to change that dynamic.

Let me challenge you: start singing in your home. Yes, even if you’re off-key. Your children need to hear your voice lifted in praise more than they need to hear your complaints. When you worship at work, take a praise break instead of just a coffee break. Let your coworkers see what it looks like when someone prioritizes God’s presence over temporary comfort.

4. The Hatch of Faith

Drawing from Mark 4:38-40, we see the disciples in a storm with Jesus sleeping in their boat. When they wake Him in panic, He asks, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?” Notice He doesn’t say they have no faith, He’s asking why they still lack faith after everything they’ve witnessed.

Mature faith doesn’t mean absence of storms; it means maintaining trust through them. When tragedy strikes, your first response should be, “God, you must know something I don’t know, and you must see something I don’t see.”

I’ve witnessed this in our church’s journey. When God led us to expand to Long Island, it wasn’t initially in my vision. I was focused on Brooklyn. But through faith and obedience, we’ve seen God’s larger plan unfold, including providing a beautiful building and the resources to fix its roof. Sometimes what looks like a detour is actually divine direction.

5. The Hatch of Relationships

Galatians 6:2 instructs us to “bear one another’s burdens.” In our current culture of cancellation, we need to foster a culture of restoration and reconciliation. True spiritual community means being for others what Jesus wants to be through you.

This isn’t about superficial fellowship. It’s about being true companions, people who stand with you in the fight, not just in the feast. When someone fails, our first response shouldn’t be to expose them on social media, but to restore them with gentleness. Remember, a true friend will use a scalpel, not a knife, they’ll help heal, not harm.

I’m convinced that the biggest threat to Christianity isn’t external forces, it’s Christians who don’t act like Christ. We need to move away from judgment and criticism toward genuine support and burden-bearing.

6. The Hatch of Seed

This represents the principle of giving and generosity. Luke 6:38 reminds us that giving isn’t just about money, it’s about a lifestyle of generosity that positions us for God’s provision. Fear tells us to withhold; faith tells us to give.

When you give before the storm, you position yourself to reap during the storm. This isn’t about religious obligation, it’s about spiritual positioning that secures us against fear and scarcity mentality. Just in the past two weeks, I’ve heard four testimonies of people who increased their giving and received unexpected raises at work the very next day.

Remember, Moses had to step toward the Red Sea before it parted. Sometimes your act of giving is that first step of faith that releases God’s provision in your life.

7. The Hatch of Spiritual Vision

The final hatch involves maintaining an eternal perspective, as described in Hebrews 12:2. While the world sees terminal illness, we see a future face-to-face encounter with Jesus. While others see economic turmoil, we see God’s provision manifesting in unexpected ways.

This eternal perspective should influence everything – how you spend your time, how you handle your finances, and how you interact with others. It’s about living in light of eternity rather than just responding to temporal circumstances.

In New York City, where violence and negativity often dominate the headlines, we’re called to see something different. We see a holy remnant rising, moving in gentleness and kindness, showing the world what true revival looks like.

Preparing for the Future

I believe if you can secure these seven hatches in your life, you’ll experience significant breakthrough and transition. This isn’t about avoiding storms altogether – it’s about being prepared to navigate through them successfully.

Taking Action: Practical Steps Forward

1. Commit to daily Bible reading and immediate application of what you read
2. Establish regular prayer times – don’t wait for emergencies
3. Incorporate worship into your daily routine, especially at home
4. Exercise your faith through active trust and obedience
5. Invest in meaningful spiritual relationships and community
6. Practice generous giving, even when it seems counterintuitive
7. Cultivate an eternal perspective through regular meditation on God’s promises

Consider creating a personal audit of these areas in your life. Where are the gaps? Which hatches need immediate attention? Don’t try to fix everything at once – start with one area and build from there.

The Time to Prepare is Now

Remember, the boat is made for water, but it only stays afloat when the hatches are secure. This message isn’t about fear; it’s about preparation and positioning. We can’t control when storms come, but we can control how prepared we are when they arrive.

As a pastor and prophetic voice, I’m calling you to take these spiritual disciplines seriously. Don’t wait until you’re in the middle of a crisis to build your spiritual foundation. The time to batten down the hatches is now, before the storm hits. When we do this together, not only will we survive what’s coming, but we’ll be positioned to help others navigate through their storms as well.

This is a season of preparation, but it’s also a season of promise. God is positioning His people for something significant. The storms may come, but they don’t have to sink us. When we secure these spiritual hatches, we create a foundation that not only withstands the storm but allows us to thrive through it.

The choice is yours: will you take action now to secure these spiritual hatches in your life? Your future self will thank you for the preparation you make today.

In what might be one of the most shocking foreign policy announcements in recent memory, Donald Trump has declared his intention for the United States to take permanent ownership of Gaza. During a press conference alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump stated plainly: “The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it too. We’ll own it.”

Having spent considerable time on the ground in Israel and Gaza, investigating the complex realities firsthand, I can tell you – this announcement’s significance cannot be overstated. I’ve walked through the underground tunnels, met with Palestinian journalists who risked their lives to share the truth, and witnessed the multifaceted nature of this conflict up close. What Trump is proposing would fundamentally reshape not just Gaza, but potentially the entire Middle Eastern landscape.

The Reality of Gaza

For those unfamiliar with Gaza, we’re talking about a small but incredibly significant piece of territory. Picture a coastal strip just 25 miles long and 6 miles wide along the Mediterranean Sea. Despite its tiny size, it’s one of the most densely populated areas on Earth, home to over 2 million Palestinians, many living in extreme poverty.

Since Israel’s withdrawal in 2005, Hamas has controlled the territory. But the situation is far more complex than most media outlets portray. There aren’t just two sides – Hamas and Israel. The reality is that numerous rival factions operate within Gaza, creating a web of competing interests and ongoing internal conflicts.

What makes this situation particularly heartbreaking is the humanitarian crisis. Every day, approximately 150 trucks of aid enter Gaza from America, Israel, and other countries. However, much of this aid never reaches its intended recipients. Instead, it’s often intercepted and resold at inflated prices, forcing already struggling civilians to pay three or four times the normal value for basic necessities.

Trump’s Vision

Trump’s proposal is remarkably ambitious. He’s not talking about temporary intervention or peacekeeping – he’s proposing complete American ownership and administration of the territory. His plan includes:

• Leveling existing infrastructure and rebuilding from scratch
• Creating economic development zones
• Generating job opportunities for local residents
• Removing unexploded ordnance and weapons
• Establishing long-term American presence and control

The Biblical Dimension

For those who study biblical prophecy, this announcement takes on additional significance. In Ezekiel 38:8, we read about a time when “the land whose people were gathered from many peoples upon the mountains of Israel.” This prophecy speaks of Jews returning to Israel from nations across the world – a gathering that’s been ongoing since Israel’s establishment in 1948.

Could U.S. control of Gaza accelerate this prophesied return? Consider the implications: American military presence would provide unprecedented security, potentially encouraging more Jewish people to make aliyah (return to Israel). This security guarantee might be particularly appealing given recent events and ongoing regional tensions.

The Temple Connection

During my visits to Israel, I’ve had the privilege of touring the Temple Institute in Jerusalem. What I saw there was remarkable – not museum pieces or replicas, but actual implements prepared for use in the Third Temple, protected behind bulletproof glass. The Institute’s officials made it clear: these items aren’t for display; they’re waiting to be used in actual Temple worship.

This preparation for the Third Temple, combined with reports of red heifers being located (necessary for biblical purification rites), adds another layer of prophetic significance to current events. The pieces seem to be falling into place with remarkable precision.

Netanyahu’s Response

Netanyahu’s reaction to Trump’s announcement was particularly telling. While he later praised Trump as “the greatest friend Israel has ever had,” his initial shocked expression revealed this wasn’t a coordinated announcement. This was Trump being Trump – making massive, world-changing proposals that catch everyone off guard.

The timing of this announcement is crucial. Israel is still processing the trauma of October 7th, an event that has been called Israel’s 9/11. The country remains unified in its response to that attack, but questions about Gaza’s future loom large. Trump’s proposal offers a dramatic potential solution, though one that raises as many questions as it answers.

Prophetic Implications

For those who study biblical prophecy, current events seem to align with ancient predictions with startling accuracy. Jesus spoke of wars and rumors of wars, of nation rising against nation, describing these as birth pains that would increase in frequency and intensity before the end times.

The convergence of events is remarkable:

• Preparation for the Third Temple
• The ongoing return of Jewish people to Israel
• Increasing regional tensions
• Trump’s unprecedented Gaza proposal
• The alignment of various nations for and against Israel

These developments feel like more than coincidence to those watching prophetic signs. They suggest we might be entering a crucial period in both political and prophetic history.

Looking Ahead

Whether viewed through a prophetic lens or purely as a geopolitical development, Trump’s Gaza announcement could mark a major turning point in Middle Eastern history. U.S. ownership of Gaza would represent an unprecedented American foothold in the region, potentially reshaping alliances and altering the balance of power.

Critics might dismiss this as just another political announcement, but the implications run deeper. The convergence of Trump’s proposal with other prophetic indicators suggests we might be witnessing the unfolding of events foretold thousands of years ago.

This isn’t about fear or sensationalism – it’s about recognizing the potential significance of current events in light of both geopolitical realities and biblical prophecy. As Jesus advised in Matthew 24, when we see these things, we shouldn’t be alarmed. Instead, we should watch with understanding, recognizing these events as part of a larger pattern.

The Path Forward

As we monitor these developments, it’s crucial to remember the human element. Gaza’s civilians have suffered tremendously under Hamas rule, caught between terrorist control and international conflict. Any solution must address not just geopolitical concerns but humanitarian needs as well.

Trump’s proposal, while shocking, might offer a path toward stability and development in a region that desperately needs both. However, implementation would face enormous challenges, from international opposition to practical security concerns.

Only time will tell how this proposal will play out, but one thing is certain: Trump’s Gaza announcement has added another fascinating chapter to the ongoing story of Middle Eastern politics and potential prophetic fulfillment.

In a recent announcement that has sent shockwaves through both the tech and political spheres, President Trump unveiled “Project Stargate” – a massive $500 billion private sector initiative aimed at building artificial intelligence infrastructure across the United States. While this announcement has been celebrated by many as a step toward technological advancement and medical breakthroughs, there are deeper implications that deserve careful consideration.

The Promise of Project Stargate

The initiative, announced on January 21st, 2025, represents an unprecedented collaboration between major tech companies including OpenAI, Oracle, SoftBank, and MGX. Key figures such as Sam Altman, Larry Ellison, and other industry leaders are spearheading this venture that promises to transform the American technological landscape. The project aims to invest a minimum of $500 billion in AI infrastructure, creating an initial 100,000 jobs while establishing AI data centers starting in Texas. Beyond the economic implications, proponents claim this initiative will lead to groundbreaking developments in medical treatment, particularly in the realm of cancer research and other deadly diseases.

The Convergence of Tech Giants

One of the most striking aspects of Project Stargate is the unprecedented collaboration between traditionally competing tech companies. In a capitalist society where competition drives innovation, this sudden unity raises questions. Companies that were once fierce rivals are now working together toward a common goal. This includes figures like Elon Musk, who just two years ago advocated for pausing AI development due to its potential dangers. This dramatic shift in position from key industry leaders deserves careful scrutiny.

The Medical Promise and the Digital Exchange

During the announcement, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison outlined a vision for revolutionizing cancer treatment through AI technology. The proposed system would utilize AI-analyzed blood tests for early detection, followed by rapid development of personalized cancer vaccines. While the promise of 48-hour turnaround times for personalized mRNA treatments sounds revolutionary, it comes with significant privacy implications. Each treatment would require access to an individual’s complete genetic and medical information, raising serious questions about data security and personal privacy in an increasingly connected world.

The Neuralink Factor

The integration of AI into human consciousness takes an even more concerning step forward with Neuralink’s brain-computer interface technology. While currently promoted for medical applications, the implications of direct neural interfaces extend far beyond therapeutic use. The technology raises profound questions about cognitive privacy and autonomy, as well as the fundamental nature of human consciousness when merged with artificial intelligence. As Revelation 13:16-17 warns: “Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark.” While this isn’t a direct correlation, the parallel of technological integration controlling access to society bears serious consideration.

Historical Context: The CIA’s Project Stargate

The choice of the name “Stargate” carries historical significance that shouldn’t be overlooked. The original Project Stargate was a CIA initiative in the 1970s that explored psychic abilities and consciousness. This historical connection raises questions about the spiritual implications of opening technological “gates” and the pattern of using benevolent names for potentially concerning projects. The convergence of spiritual and technological experimentation has historical precedent that we would do well to remember.

Global Implications and Social Credit

The implementation of Project Stargate alongside global technological systems suggests a move toward unprecedented social control. The shift from physical to digital currency, coupled with blockchain technology, enables complete transaction tracking and monitoring. This infrastructure could easily support social credit systems similar to those already implemented in other nations. The normalization of surveillance and the erosion of privacy rights occur gradually, often under the guise of convenience and security.

End Times Implications

The convergence of global technology systems raises important eschatological considerations. Scripture provides several relevant passages that seem to speak to our current technological moment. In Daniel 12:4, we read, “But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” This prophecy speaks of a time of unprecedented knowledge expansion and global movement – a fitting description of our current AI revolution.

The potential for technology to explain away the rapture presents another concerning possibility. In a world where AI systems can provide seemingly miraculous solutions, the sudden disappearance of believers could be attributed to technological or extraterrestrial causes rather than spiritual truth. “For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be” (Matthew 24:21).

Practical Steps for Spiritual Discernment

In light of these developments, believers must prioritize spiritual discernment and biblical literacy. This means developing a deep understanding of scripture while maintaining healthy skepticism of technological solutions that promise to solve humanity’s deepest problems. Building strong communities of believers who can support one another and share resources becomes increasingly important as technological integration deepens.

Conclusion

Project Stargate represents more than just technological advancement – it symbolizes a crucial moment in human history where we must choose between convenience and freedom, between technological solutions and spiritual truth. As we move forward, maintaining spiritual discernment and biblical wisdom will be crucial in navigating this new landscape.

The promise of technological salvation through Project Stargate may be appealing, but we must remain vigilant and discerning, understanding that true salvation comes not through technological advancement but through spiritual truth. As 1 Peter 5:8 reminds us, “Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” As we witness these developments, let us remember to test everything against scripture and maintain our spiritual discernment in an increasingly digital world.

Recently, I had the privilege of sitting down with renowned biblical scholar Rick Renner to discuss his groundbreaking new book, “Fallen Angels, Giants, Monsters, and the World Before the Flood.” This extensively researched work, complete with 44 pages of detailed footnotes, provides one of the most comprehensive examinations of pre-flood Earth I’ve encountered. What struck me most about our conversation was how relevant these ancient biblical accounts are to understanding the unprecedented changes we’re witnessing in society today.

The Reality of the Supernatural

One of the most fascinating aspects of our discussion centered on how modern society tends to dismiss the supernatural. Yet, as Rick pointed out, we’re seeing an increasing mainstream interest in phenomena that the Bible discussed thousands of years ago. Major news outlets and even government bodies are now openly discussing topics like UFOs and unexplained aerial phenomena. Tucker Carlson and other prominent media figures are bringing discussions about the Nephilim into mainstream conversation. This shift in public discourse seems to align with biblical prophecies about the end times, particularly Jesus’s words about signs and wonders in the last days.

Noah’s Ark: More Than Just a Story

Rick shared his personal journey from skepticism to belief regarding Noah’s Ark. What began as casual interest led him to conduct extensive research, eventually taking his film crew from Moscow to eastern Turkey to investigate what’s known as the Dupur site. He spent two months examining the massive ship-shaped object with archeologists, geologists, and local historians. The timing of this discovery is particularly significant – the remains were first identified in May 1948, the same month Israel was reestablished as a nation. This convergence of events adds another layer to the prophetic implications of our times.

The World Before the Flood

Through his meticulous research, Rick has uncovered striking parallels between our current era and the world before the flood. He explained how the Book of Genesis describes beings called “Watchers” who abandoned their heavenly positions and mated with human women, producing hybrid creatures known as the Nephilim. This account isn’t isolated to the Bible – it appears in various ancient texts, including the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Book of Enoch, which were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. These hybrid beings, often referred to as giants in the Old Testament, filled the earth with violence and corruption, ultimately leading to God’s decision to send the flood as a cleanup operation.

Signs of the End Times

During our conversation, Rick highlighted Jesus’s prophecy in Matthew 24:37, which states that the conditions before His return would mirror those of Noah’s time. We discussed how current developments in artificial intelligence, genetic modification, and the increasing confusion over human identity echo the boundary-crossing that occurred in ancient times. The Greek word for transgression, as Rick explained, literally means “to intentionally cross a boundary or barrier” – a concept we see manifesting in various ways today.

Rick particularly emphasized Jesus’s words in Luke 21:11, where He speaks of “great signs from heaven” and “fearful sights.” The Greek word used for “from” (apo) specifically describes things descending from the heavens, while the word for “fearful sights” (phobetron) was the ancient Greek word for monsters. This prophecy seems particularly relevant given our current cultural obsession with both extraterrestrial phenomena and the emergence of what could be considered modern “monsters” through technological and biological manipulation.

The Challenge and Hope for Modern Christians

Despite the sobering nature of these topics, our discussion wasn’t doom and gloom. Rick emphasized that just as Noah preached for 120 years while building the ark, we’re living in a period of grace. He drew an interesting parallel between the pre-flood world’s embrace of “diversity, equality, and inclusion” with modern DEI initiatives, noting how both periods were marked by a radical breaking down of established boundaries. However, this time is also an opportunity for the church to reach out to those who are lost and confused in our rapidly changing world. We discussed numerous examples of people finding freedom and identity in Christ, even after being deeply entrenched in contrary ideologies.

Historical Context of Current Issues

One of the most enlightening parts of our conversation was learning about historical precedents for current social issues. Rick shared fascinating information about the ancient city of Smyrna, where the cult of Sibyl included priests who underwent gender transformation procedures – proving that many of today’s challenges aren’t new to the church. These priests, who began life as men, underwent surgical procedures to alter their anatomy and were said to be among the most beautiful women in Smyrna. This historical perspective offers valuable insights for how we can approach similar issues today with both truth and compassion.

The Power of the Holy Spirit in Modern Times

Rick’s personal testimony about the transformative power of the Holy Spirit was particularly moving. Having been saved at age five and later experiencing the baptism of the Holy Spirit in 1974, he emphasized how crucial this spiritual empowerment is for Christians today. His journey from a small town outside Tulsa to becoming an influential voice in Moscow, running satellite networks and reaching millions, demonstrates what’s possible when biblical foundation meets spiritual power. He now owns two satellite networks, including one national channel covering all of Russia, reaching influential leaders throughout the region.

Learning from Spiritual Giants

Our conversation took an inspiring turn as Rick shared about his mentors and influences, including Kenneth Hagin, Oral Roberts, Derek Prince, and Kathryn Kuhlman. He described how he would attend as many Katherine Kuhlman meetings as possible to “saturate in the anointing of God.” Their impact on his ministry underscores the importance of learning from those who’ve gone before us. Rick’s approach to ministry – combining deep scholarly study with spiritual power – offers a model for balanced, effective Christian leadership in our complex times. He particularly credited Derek Prince’s example of teaching from the Greek New Testament as influential in his own ministry, though he jokes that he “took it to another level.”

Conclusion: Hope in Challenging Times

As we concluded our time together, Rick offered an encouraging perspective on current events. While we may be seeing increasingly bizarre and challenging situations in our world, we’re also witnessing unprecedented opportunities for the gospel. The church isn’t entering these end times weak and defeated, but equipped with the power of God and the unchanging truth of His Word.

This conversation with Rick Renner left me more convinced than ever that understanding biblical prophecy and history isn’t just academic exercise – it’s crucial for effectively ministering in our current cultural moment. His new book, “Fallen Angels, Giants, Monsters, and the World Before the Flood,” provides essential context for understanding both ancient history and current events through a biblical lens. As we see ancient patterns repeating and prophecies potentially unfolding, we can take comfort in knowing that God has equipped His church for such a time as this.

The parallels between Noah’s time and ours serve as both a warning and an encouragement. While they alert us to the seriousness of our times, they also remind us that God always provides a way forward for those who seek Him. As Rick emphasized, this could be the greatest moment in church history – not despite the challenges we face, but because of them. The prophets of old saw our day and longed to be part of it. We’re not just surviving these challenging times; we’re called to thrive in them.

I recently had the incredible privilege of sitting down with Jonathan Cahn, the New York Times bestselling author and prophetic voice, for an eye-opening conversation about the times we are living in. Jonathan’s latest book, The Dragon’s Prophecy, became the #1 bestselling book in all of America, and after speaking with him, I understand why his message is resonating so powerfully right now.

A Window of Opportunity

We began by discussing the significance of Donald Trump’s election and presidency. While Jonathan emphasized that God can use anyone, he drew intriguing parallels between Trump and the biblical King Jehu, who, although unpredictable, was used by God as a disruptive force against evil in a time of apostasy.

However, Jonathan made it clear that political change alone will not save America – only revival and turning back to God can do that. He believes we have a window of opportunity right now to pray, repent, and usher in revival. The danger, he said, is becoming passive or complacent after an election. Now is the time to press in even more.

Crossing Prophetic Red Lines

One of the most riveting parts of our discussion centered around how current events are linking up with biblical end times prophecies, especially those in Ezekiel related to Israel and the Middle East. Jonathan shared how we have crossed prophetic “red lines” in just the past year, with events like the Hamas attack on Israel last October bearing uncanny resemblance to prophecies he had shared just the prior evening.

He believes we are living in the most prophetic times since the first coming of Jesus Christ, and that biblical prophecies are accelerating towards their ultimate fulfillment. This relates not only to Israel, but also the persecution that believers will face worldwide from the same spirit opposing God’s purposes.

The Dragon’s Agenda Unmasked

Perhaps the most chilling part of our talk exposed the dark spiritual forces behind antisemitism and attacks on Israel throughout history. Jonathan explained how the Arabic word “Hamas” is also a Hebrew word meaning violence and destruction, and how this group’s agenda can be traced from Hitler to current day Islamists.

While sobering to confront, Jonathan emphasized that this ancient demonic hatred of the Jewish people is really rooted in Satan’s hatred of God’s plan of redemption through the Messiah. The scriptures bear witness to this cosmic struggle, with the “dragon” relentlessly pursuing the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people.

Our Call to Battle

So what are believers to do in light of these urgent realities? Jonathan offered a powerful charge to become like the Israelites when they returned to their homeland — learning to fight because their survival depended on it. He said we must become spiritual Israelites in this hour, the greatest fighters in the Spirit and supernatural that the world has ever seen.

This means not merely accepting the Enemy’s attacks in our lives and culture, but learning to wield the blood of Jesus, the word of our testimony, and the laying down of our lives as weapons of warfare. If we rise to the fight, we are guaranteed to overcome and see victory. Now is not the time to shrink back, but to run towards the battle!

Hope and Encouragement for the Future

While the revelations in The Dragon’s Prophecy admittedly paint a dire picture, Jonathan left me ultimately filled with hope and anticipation for the future. He framed these chaotic end times as the Church’s finest hour. Just as everything is coming full circle and returning to its Genesis roots, we too have the opportunity to return to the passion and power of the Book of Acts.

If the first century Church could transform their pagan world with the Gospel, how much more can we shine in the growing darkness of today? Jonathan reminded me that if we stand courageous now, God will anoint us for signs, wonders and spiritual exploits in a way the world has never seen. The Lamb has already triumphed over the Dragon, and if we lock arms with Him, we cannot lose.

Closing Thoughts

My time with Jonathan Cahn left me feeling spiritually sober yet joyfully encouraged. While discerning readers should always align any prophetic words against the whole counsel of scripture, I believe Jonathan’s insights offer a timely wake up call for believers everywhere.

The Dragon’s Prophecy is not ultimately a message of doom and gloom, but a trumpet call to seize our destiny at this hinge of history. If we say yes to God’s invitation, our darkest hour can become our finest. May we be found faithful and on fire in the days ahead!

I encourage you to get a copy of The Dragon’s Prophecy for yourself and those in your life who need a sobering yet inspiring message in this hour. Let’s take up the charge to become the spiritual warriors God is calling us to be. The best is yet to come!

In an unprecedented development, Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio—one of America’s most critical military installations—temporarily closed its airfield following reports of unauthorized drone activity in restricted airspace. This isn’t just any ordinary base; it houses both the Air Force’s National Air Intelligence Center and the Space Force’s National Air and Space Intelligence Center, making it a crucial hub for analyzing air and space threats for the US intelligence community.

Robert Putterman, a spokesperson for the base, confirmed the sightings of small drones (referred to as unmanned aerial systems) near the military installation. While he assured that no facilities, assets, or residents were impacted, the decision to shut down the airfield marks an unprecedented response to unauthorized aerial activity.

The Controller Audio Evidence

Air traffic control recordings reveal the gravity of the situation. Controllers can be heard warning pilots about “heavy unknown UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) activity” and repeatedly emphasizing the need for “extreme caution.” At one point, they declared Wright Patterson military base closed—an extraordinary measure that highlights the seriousness of these events.

The actual controller transmissions included urgent warnings such as: “Patterson class Delta is sterilized as of 0330 Zulu for heavy unknown UAS activity” and “All aircraft use extreme caution. Patterson Class Delta is now closed for heavy UAS activity.” The urgency in the controllers’ voices and the repeated emphasis on “heavy” activity contradicts initial official statements that characterized the incident as minor.

Historical Context

These events echo other significant incidents of unauthorized aerial activity over sensitive military installations, though with notable differences. The most comparable historical incidents include:

• The 2019 mysterious drone swarms over US nuclear facilities in Colorado and Nebraska
• The 2004 USS Nimitz encounters with unidentified aerial phenomena
• Multiple incidents in 2014-2015 involving drone activity near nuclear power plants in France
• The 2023 series of unauthorized drone activities over sensitive military sites in Sweden

However, what sets the current situation apart is the scale of the response—the complete closure of a major military installation—and the concurrent observations of unusual orb-like phenomena interacting with the drones.

The Nuclear Connection

Adding another layer of complexity to this situation, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) recently issued event report #57455 regarding the loss of a radioactive source during transit in Newfield, New Jersey on December 2nd. The source, licensed to a cancer center, was being shipped for disposal when the container arrived damaged and empty—with the radioactive material missing.

This timing coincides with increased drone activity in the New Jersey area, leading some experts to speculate about potential connections. John Ferguson, CEO of Saxon Aerospace, has noted connections to reports of missing nuclear warheads, though these claims require further verification.

Witness Accounts and Footage Analysis

Multiple witnesses have documented these events, with footage showing various types of aerial phenomena:

New Jersey Sightings

One witness captured footage of what they described as an “SUV-sized” drone interacting with an orb-like object in Lyden, New Jersey. The witness noted that their phone camera experienced unusual interference during filming, with the footage repeatedly blurring when attempting to focus on the objects.

Ohio Footage

Multiple witnesses near Wright Patterson Air Force Base captured footage of what appeared to be dozens of unauthorized drones operating in formation. The footage shows objects performing maneuvers that, according to aviation experts, exceed the capabilities of commercial drone technology.

Orb Interactions

Perhaps most compelling is footage showing what appears to be a luminous orb intercepting and potentially disabling a drone. Aviation experts who’ve analyzed the footage note that the orb’s movements demonstrate acceleration and directional changes that surpass known aircraft capabilities.

Expert Analysis

Several prominent figures have offered their analysis of these events:

John Ferguson, CEO of Saxon Aerospace and a manufacturer of military drones, provided a detailed assessment highlighting several key points:

• The drones observed demonstrate capabilities beyond current commercial technology
• Their behavior suggests coordinated operation rather than individual control
• The maneuvers observed would require sophisticated navigation systems

Military analysts speaking on condition of anonymity have noted that the response to these incursions—particularly the base closure—indicates a level of concern beyond typical unauthorized drone activity. They point to several factors:

• The duration of the activity
• The number of objects involved
• The apparent technological sophistication of the craft
• The proximity to sensitive military installations

The Orb Phenomenon

These mysterious orbs, which some experts classify as “plasmids,” have been observed:

• Maneuvering in ways that exceed known military craft capabilities
• Appearing to disable or interfere with drones
• Demonstrating apparently intelligent behavior
• Emitting unusual light patterns

Scientific definition: A plasmid is described as a coherent structure of plasma and magnetic fields that behaves like a self-contained entity, often appearing as a compact blob-like or spherical formation in a plasma environment. These phenomena can occur:

• In space as solar flares
• During magnetic reconnection events
• In Earth’s atmosphere
• In laboratory plasma experiments

Potential Explanations

Several theories have emerged to explain these events:

1. Military Testing: These could be US military drills testing new countermeasures against potential foreign drone threats.
2. Foreign Surveillance: The activity could represent sophisticated foreign surveillance operations.
3. Nuclear Detection: Some speculate the drones are searching for missing nuclear materials.
4. Advanced Technology: The orbs could represent previously unknown military technology being tested in real-world conditions.

Timing and Legislation

The timing of these events is particularly noteworthy, as they coincide with pending legislation that needs to be renewed by December 20th regarding federal authority over airspace restrictions. This has led some observers to question whether these incidents might be used to justify increased regulation of civilian airspace access.

Implications for National Security

The recent surge in unauthorized aerial activity over military installations has exposed significant vulnerabilities in our national defense infrastructure. Military analysts are particularly concerned about the apparent ease with which unknown craft can penetrate restricted airspace, suggesting our current detection and deterrence systems may be inadequate against emerging aerial technologies. This weakness becomes especially concerning when considering the proximity of these incursions to facilities handling sensitive intelligence and military operations.

The current state of our airspace monitoring capabilities has also come under scrutiny. With military officials admitting to spending only $500,000 annually on airspace monitoring, questions arise about whether this level of investment is sufficient given the sophisticated nature of modern aerial threats. The incidents have highlighted a critical gap between our defensive capabilities and the rapidly evolving landscape of drone and autonomous aircraft technology.

Perhaps most alarming is the emergence of new types of aerial threats that don’t conform to conventional understanding of aircraft capabilities. The reported orbs and their apparent ability to disable other aircraft represent a technological leap that current security measures may not be equipped to handle. This raises serious concerns about the protection of critical infrastructure, including nuclear facilities, military bases, and other sensitive installations.

The adequacy of existing regulations and security measures has also been called into question. Current frameworks were largely designed to address traditional aircraft and early-generation drone technology. The appearance of more advanced craft, potentially operated by foreign actors or even non-state entities, suggests a urgent need to reassess and update these protocols. Additionally, the coordination between military and civilian air traffic control systems may need significant enhancement to address these new challenges effectively.

Looking Forward

The trajectory of these events points toward several critical developments that will likely shape the future of aerial security and civilian aviation. The relationship between the observed drones and orbs represents a technological mystery that could fundamentally change our understanding of aerial capabilities. If these phenomena represent previously unknown technology, whether domestic or foreign, their revelation could trigger a significant shift in military doctrine and defensive strategies.

The influence of these incidents on upcoming airspace legislation cannot be overstated. With critical regulations pending renewal, these events may serve as a catalyst for more stringent controls over civilian airspace access. This could lead to a fundamental restructuring of how we manage our skies, potentially limiting private and commercial drone operations in ways that significantly impact emerging industries and technologies.

The military response to these incursions will likely result in substantial changes to installation security protocols. We may see the implementation of new detection systems, enhanced electromagnetic defense capabilities, and more sophisticated anti-drone measures. These changes could extend beyond military facilities to other critical infrastructure, creating a new standard for aerial security in sensitive areas.

The impact on civilian access to airspace may be the most far-reaching consequence of these events. As government agencies grapple with these new threats, we could see the implementation of more restrictive regulations on civilian drone operations, enhanced licensing requirements, and expanded no-fly zones. This could significantly affect industries ranging from commercial delivery services to aerial photography, while also influencing the development of urban air mobility initiatives.

Conclusion

While many questions remain unanswered, one thing is clear: we are witnessing an unprecedented series of events that challenge our understanding of current aerospace capabilities and raise important questions about national security. As more information becomes available, it will be crucial to maintain a balanced approach between security concerns and public access to airspace.

The situation continues to develop, with new reports emerging regularly. This story represents a complex intersection of military security, technological advancement, and public safety that will likely have far-reaching implications for how we manage and monitor our airspace in the future.
