❖ What if 2026 isn’t “just another year”… but another turn of the prophetic clock?
In Scripture, God doesn’t treat history like noise. He treats it like a story moving toward an appointed end. Kingdoms rise, nations rage, Israel returns, deception spreads, and the Lord tells His people to watch, not because we fear the future, but because He already wrote it.
“I am God… declaring the end from the beginning.”
Isaiah 46:9–10
“He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others.... more❖ What if 2026 isn’t “just another year”… but another turn of the prophetic clock?

❖ Convergence
Jesus said there would be recognizable “birth pains” before the climax.
“You will hear of wars and rumors of wars… Nation will rise against nation… These are the beginning of birth pains.”
Matthew 24:6–8
Paul said the last days would be marked by a cultural collapse of conscience.
“There will be terrible times in the last days… lovers of self… lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form of godliness but denying its power.”
2 Timothy 3:1–5
Peter said scoffers would multiply, mocking the idea of judgment and promise.
“In the last days scoffers will come… They will say, ‘Where is this “coming” he promised?’”
2 Peter 3:3
These are not random trends. They are prophetic patterns.
❖ Rising Antisemitism, Israel at the Center
The Bible places Jerusalem at the center of end-time contention.
“On that day I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations.”
Zechariah 12:3
And Revelation pulls back the curtain on the spiritual war beneath the headlines.
“When the dragon saw that he had been hurled to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.”
Revelation 12:13
This is why antisemitism never stays “logical.” It is not merely hatred of a people. It is rage against the God who chose them and the promises He will fulfill.
❖ Apostasy and Lawlessness: The Runway Is Being Built
Scripture is blunt: the end-times atmosphere includes falling away and deception.
“The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits.”
1 Timothy 4:1
And this rebellion is connected to the revealing of the coming man of lawlessness.
“That day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed.”
2 Thessalonians 2:3
Jesus added the societal temperature check:
“Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.”
Matthew 24:12
Apostasy is not the destination.
It is the runway.
❖ Moral Inversion: Isaiah Called It
What we watch daily, Isaiah spoke long ago.
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness.”
Isaiah 5:20
And when truth collapses, God’s people are commanded to respond with clarity, not compromise.
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
Romans 12:2
❖ What Do We Do With This? Watch, Stand, Endure
Jesus did not give prophecy to entertain the curious. He gave it to strengthen the faithful.
“So when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door.”
Matthew 24:33
“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.”
Matthew 24:42
“The one who stands firm to the end will be saved.”
Matthew 24:13
This is not a season for silence.
It is a season for watchmen. ❖
“I have posted watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night.”
Isaiah 62:6
❖ Blessed Hope
Yes, the days are darker.
Yes, deception is louder.
Yes, hatred is bolder.
But God has not lost control of the calendar.
And the Church has not lost its hope.
“Now is the time to wake from sleep, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.”
Romans 13:11
So lift your eyes, steady your heart, open your Bible, and live ready. Not in panic, but in confidence. Not in gloom, but in expectation.
“While we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.”
Titus 2:13 ❖
