Prophecy Monthly – January 2026

You may have thought 2026 would start off nice and quiet. A new year full of peaceful possibilities. You would be mistaken. Instead, there has been a constant churning from one breaking news story to the next. Often the story flips from talks of peace, then war and back to peace. Meanwhile, some prophetic events passed on by without notice. Here is a just a sample of the news events covered in more detail below.

January Prophetic News Highlights

What do people do when the world is in a constant state of flux and tribulation? As you will see below, in January they either turned to their idols to pray for peace or took to the streets in protest. The world’s tribulation is a fulfillment of God’s prophecy. Neither of these actions, praying to idols or protesting, is how one looks to God for His Will. Neither will bring peace or stability.

“For then (at the end of the age) shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.”

Matthew 24:21-22

Prophecy Monthly – December 2025

Wars, rumors of wars, violence and tribulation dominated the headlines in December. During a month when many sing about ‘joy on earth,’ there was anything but joy. This month we look at escalations in South America, Africa and the Middle East. At the same time the drums-of-war beat louder, superficial name changes scream hypocrisy. Meanwhile, several ‘holidays’ ended in tragedy turning feast days into mourning. As 2025 came to an end, many spoke about peace, but actions indicate 2026 will be a year of expanding wars.

“And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you are not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.”

Matthew 24:6-8

Blessed are the Peacemakers

There has been A LOT of talk about peace lately. The year 2025 opened with President Trump stating ‘My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker‘ during his inauguration speech. The newly elected Pope themed his first international trip ‘Blessed are the peacemakers‘ while in Turkey and Lebanon.

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.”

Matthew 5:9

In the Bible, there are the peacemakers spoken of by Jesus. But, there are also those who do not know the way of peace.

“Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths. The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goes therein shall not know peace.”

Isaiah 59:7-8

Let’s discern if these leaders are peacemakers serving God or going in ways that will never bring peace.

“Then shall you return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serves God and him that serves him not.”

Malachi 3:18

Is Christmas mentioned in Scripture?

Historians will often say some group or other banished Christmas “because it’s not in the Bible.”  While it’s true that the word Christmas is not in the Bible, the reason these groups banned Christmas is much deeper than a simple word search. In fact, that answer makes lite of those who have risked and even lost their lives standing up for their beliefs. What made these religious groups risk all to ban Christmas?

In this article, since we know the word Christmas is not in scripture, we are going to look at whether or not Christmas is mentioned in less obvious ways. What we are going to find, may surprise you.

A Brief History of Christmas

As we live through the chaos of the last month of the year with most everyone preparing for the celebration of Christmas, it seems like a good time to review a Brief History of Christmas. You may be thinking that Christmas is a fundamental part of Christianity and you do this to praise God and his Son. It is, after all, one of the two most important holidays of the “Christian” calendar. There are, however, many facets of Christmas which are not part of mainstream Christian understanding. What we are about to cover may be something you have never considered, it may even seem offensive to some. But, before you turn the page, consider that Solomon in Proverbs said:

Proverbs 18:13 “He that answers a matter before he hears it, it is folly and shame unto him.”

Solomon is simply pointing out what we all know is true. If you haven’t heard and considered both sides of the story you cannot make an informed decision. In fact, quite often, the harder an opposing opinion is to hear, the more important it is to hear it. Along with that, the Book of Deuteronomy, points out that it takes two or three witnesses to establish a matter. 

Deuteronomy 19:15 “One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sins: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.”

So, to complete the Christmas story we are going to look at several examples from both Scripture and History that will allow you to decide what is the truth and what is the lie.
