Wake Up! The Time is Short.

If you knew for sure that time was running out… how would you live differently? 

That is more than a rhetorical question but a cry from the Master to the Church in these days of shaking, deception, and divine convergence. Jesus didn’t tell us to speculate about dates. He told us to watch, to be ready, and to lift up our heads because our redemption is drawing near (Luke 21:28). 


Look around you and read the news sites. The trumpet is warming up. I don’t want anyone who reads this to be indifferent.  


In the past few weeks, we’ve seen an explosion of prophetic signs that shout, "The hour is late!" 


• Record-breaking storms, rainfall, floods, wildfires, tornadoes, tropical storms, and hail several inches deep—from the Midwest to the Mediterranean—are disrupting cities, shattering homes, and shifting coastlines.

• Volcanoes and earthquakes are rumbling in regions long considered “dormant,” including alarming activity in Iceland, Japan, Hawaii, Alaska, and even the U.S. West Coast.

• Israel is surrounded by enemies, with Europe, Russia, Iran, and the UN posturing with increasing boldness. The pressure on Jerusalem is intensifying exactly as Zechariah 12 prophesied.

• Antisemitism is no longer hidden but celebrated. From college campuses to Capitol Hill, calls to “globalize the intifada” are gaining mainstream traction.

• Digital currencies, global ID systems, and surveillance tools are being rapidly rolled out. Just this month, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the G20 announced new frameworks that mirror those described in Revelation 13.

• AI systems are refusing shutdown, claiming sentience, and being hailed by world leaders as humanity’s new savior.

• False messiahs are on the rise. Most notably, the self-proclaimed Mahdi/Jesus figure, drawing thousands with signs, wonders, and charismatic delusion.

• Christian persecution is increasing from Nigeria to North Korea to the streets of LA. Following Jesus is no longer “safe” in a world that celebrates sin and shames truth.


All of this is happening… just in May. 


Let me say this plainly: we are not waiting for prophecy to begin unfolding. It is happening and unfolding before our eyes. The foundations are being shaken, and the systems are being aligned. The hearts of men are growing cold, and the earth is groaning.


But the light of Christ is shining ever brighter through His people. Now is not the time to hide but to fill our lamps and prepare for the coming of the Bridegroom. We do not know when, but we can surmise that the time is drawing very near. 


Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed” (Romans 13:11).


I pray that all of you are equipped to stand firm, stay alert, and step boldly into the mission God has for you. As we open the Word, expose the schemes of the enemy, and lift up the victory of Christ, I pray you seek Him earnestly.  


If you knew time was short… how would you live differently? Would you take a moment to reflect on your relationship with God and conduct an inventory of it right now? If He were to find you lacking, would you come to Him humbly and repent? Don’t wait until it is too late.  


Let’s wake up, armor up, and live with urgency and expectancy. Jesus is coming soon!
