I know that you can sense it in the spirit because many Christians all around the world are discerning an [music] intensification of spiritual activity. You see, right now the world is reacting to the events unfolding in the Middle East. As you probably know by now, on February 28th, 2026, the US and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury.

In this attack, key locations of Iran were targeted with air strikes and among those killed in the attacks was the Ayatollah. There of course were retaliatory attacks. Things are becoming chaotic, uncertain, and many are speculating on what this means for the future of the nations involved and some fear that this could bring about World War II or even the end of the world.

But what are the spiritual implications of what we’re witnessing? More importantly, what does the Bible reveal about these prophetic times? What does this mean for the future of this church? What does this mean for you and for your family? Firstly, I think we need to [music] be praying. Whatever the political implications, we need to pray that these events ultimately open more doors for the gospel. Secondly, remember this.

God has not given you a spirit of fear, but one of power, of love, and of a sound mind. Now, interestingly, in all of this, there’s one truth I’m just not hearing much about. There’s one sign of the end that many are missing and that the modern church seems to have forgotten altogether. To see this sign, we look to the words of Jesus.

As Jesus was leaving the temple grounds, his disciples pointed out to him the various temple buildings. But he responded, “Do you see all these buildings? I tell you the truth, they will be completely demolished. Not one stone will be left on top of another. Later, Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives.

His disciples came to him privately and said, “Tell us, when will all this happen? What sign will signal your return and the end of the world?” Jesus told them, “Don’t let anyone mislead you, for many will come in my name claiming I am the Messiah.” That right there is one of the signs of the end that many will come claiming the name of Jesus.

They’ll say, “I’m of Christ.” Or they’ll say, “God sent me.” Jesus tells us plainly, “They will deceive many.” And you will hear of wars and threats of wars or wars and rumors of wars. But don’t panic. This is key, especially for these days. You’re going to hear often about wars and rumors of wars. This isn’t a reason to fear.
