“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
The following map is a summary of current events related to prophecy. Below the map you will find the event details and relevant Scriptural references. Many people have been taught God’s Word in the past tense. This is incorrect. The teachings and scenarios in the Bible and God’s Word are all prophetic, pointing to a future time, and that time is now.
Hypocrisy
Board of Peace
“…they have seduced My people, saying, Peace; and there is no peace…”
Ezekiel 13:10
Before we get into the extensive ongoing wars and one new big war, let’s consider Trump’s inaugural Board of Peace meeting. It was held at the Institute of Peace, recently renamed the “Trump” Institute of Peace in Washington DC. Fifty countries gathered to discuss stabilization and prosperity for Gaza. The Board intends to extend their activities into other countries, again raising questions in regards to how they relate to the UN. In February, Trump implied his new Board would ‘look over’ the UN and even help with UN funding.
The Board has $15 billion in funding commitments of which $10 billion is from US taxpayers. Trump appointed himself the chair-for-life and bragged about his contribution to achieving ‘Peace in the Middle East’ during his speech at the meeting. This was eight days before the US and Israel started a new war with Iran that appears to be expanding into a full regional war. There is no peace in the Middle East.
“A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”
James 1:8
“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
No Peace in the Middle East
“But in his estate/place shall he honor the god of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honor with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.”
Daniel 11:38-39
“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
Iran
Iran, a country with the world’s 3rd largest oil reserves, is now under attack. Israel and the US started a war that has quickly impacted most countries in the Middle East. The US is calling the war ‘Operation Epic Fury’ while Israel is calling it ‘Roar of the Lion’ or ‘Lion’s War.’ Iran is calling their response ‘Operation True Promise 4‘ because it is the fourth time in the last two years they have responded to a military attack.
Targets have been hit throughout Iran and killed many of their top leaders. In response, Iran has fired missiles and drones into Israel, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman and Cyprus as well as the waterways in the region. Is this the beginning of World War III? Here in the US, Congress was not called on to authorize this act of war, leading many to denounce the presidents actions.
The US has military bases in multiple countries in the Middle East making those countries a retaliatory target. The UK is flying jets to defend some of the bases from incoming drones and missiles.
Syria
The US carried out airstrikes targeting Islamic State members, infrastructure and weapons storage locations in Syria. The 10 airstrikes hitting 30 targets were a continuation of Operation Hawkeye Strike which started last year following an attack that killed two US military personnel and a translator.
Pakistan and Afghanistan
An ‘Open War’ has been declared by Pakistan on Afghanistan. Pakistani jets have bombed Kabul and Kandahar in response to border skirmishes that have destroyed army posts and two bases. Pakistan accuses Afghanistan of harboring terrorists and ‘exporting terrorism.’ The fighting along the Durand Line, the 1,640 mile long border between the two countries has escalated in the last three years. Earlier in the month a suicide bomber, suspected to be with either the Islamic State or Pakistani Taliban, killed 31 in a Shiite mosque.
“And it shall come to pass in the last days… many people shall come and say, ‘Come, and let us go up to the Mountain of the LORD, to the House of the God of Jacob and He will teach us of His ways, … and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.”
Isaiah 2:2-4
Ukraine – Russia War
As of February 24th, the Ukraine-Russian War has been going on for four years. Total deaths from the war vary with some reporting an estimated 2 million lives have been lost! The battle-line has hardly moved from the initial Russian advance that took place in the first nine months of the war. What has changed in four year is war technology. Ukraine has welcomed and recruited arms companies to test drones, artificial intelligence software and weapons in live battlefield conditions.
While corporations profit from improved weaponry, citizens suffer not just with the loss of loved ones but with difficult living conditions. The winter continues in Ukraine and many are getting by without heat or electricity. Peace talks continue off and on, but still there is no ceasefire agreement. In February, Zelensky said the US set a June deadline for a peace deal and implied the deadline we based on the lead up to US midterm elections. This wouldn’t be the first time a US politician has prolonged a tragedy for political purposes.
“The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.”
Genesis 6:11-13
Wars and Tribulation in Africa
Nigeria
Nigeria continues to be a hot bed of violence. In February 32 people were killed in one day when houses and shops were raided in three villages by ‘bandits.’ Another attack left 160 dead between two villages. Though no group took responsibility for the attack, it has been reported the gunman where Islamic State jihadists. Meanwhile, the ruling class gathered for a lavish wedding between six couples. The gathering was seen as tone deaf to the violence happening in the country.
Sudan
The war in Sudan rages on. One drone attack by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) killed at least 24 people in one day. Drone attacks have been targeting emergency aid and food leading the Sudan Doctors network to call such attacks a ‘flagrant violation of international humanitarian law [which] amounts to a full-fledged war crime.’ 40,000 people have died in the war and over 14 million have fled their homes.
Libya
A boat of migrants that left the coast of Libya capsized in the Mediterranean Sea. Fifty-three people died while only two people were rescued. Migrants continue to risk crossing the Mediterranean to escape violence in several countries on the African continent. In 2025 1,837 people went missing or died while attempting to cross the Mediterranean.
Violence and Wars in Mexico, the Caribbean and South America
Mexico
A shoot out in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico between the Mexican authorities and a drug cartel left 62 people dead. The region, a popular tourist destination, saw vehicles burning and open shoot outs on the streets. Many governments, such as the United States, warned their citizens to shelter in place until the violence subsided. The airport was closed for several days (?).
Mexico has a massive drug cartel problem that often turns violent. The extreme violence has been tied to weapons smuggled into the country from the United States. In 2021, a lawsuit was filed against eight US gun manufacturers by the Mexican government regarding the estimated 135,000-730,000 firearms brought into Mexico each year. The lawsuit, which was rejected by the US supreme court, sought to show the gun companies carried out ‘negligent marketing, distribution and sales’ of weapons.
Cuba & the Caribbean
Last month the US implemented an oil embargo on Cuba. In February, talks are said to have started between the US and Cuba with Trump saying there could be a ‘friendly takeover’ of Cuba. Currently Cuba has shut down its airports due to lack of fuel. Power outages and suspended shipments of medical supplies are hampering medical services.
Meanwhile, at least three more boats alleged to be associated with narco-terrorists were blown up by the US. Eleven people were killed in the process, without any due process for their suspected crimes.
Nuclear Weapons
For the first time in over 50 years, a treaty between Russia and the US regarding limits on nuclear warheads each country can deploy has expired. Trump said he wanted a better agreement, Russia says it regrets the expiration of the treaty. Nuclear weapons are said to be a deterrent for countries that have them. But times are changing quickly and a new nuclear arms race appears to be taking off. Just this past month, the US accused China of ‘massively’ increasing its stockpile of nuclear warheads, although the estimated number is still well below the amount on hand in both the US and Russia.
A primary talking point for the war against Iran is their potential ability to make nuclear weapons. Eight countries around the world are confirmed to have nuclear weapons including the US, Russia, the UK, France, China, India, Pakistan and North Korea. Israel is believed to posses nuclear warheads, but has never confirmed this to be true.
Peace Through Strength
The US is not the only country that justifies armament as a means towards peace. In February the UK defense chiefs said regarding increased spending on weapons, ‘There is a moral dimension to this endeavor. Rearmament is not warmongering; it is the responsible action of nations determined to protect their people and preserve peace.’ The increase in military spending is specifically addressing ‘the threat of war with Russia’ and to support ‘Europe’s defense and security.’
“There is no king (ruler/government) saved by the multitude of an host (army/military): a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. An horse (armored for war) is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. …Our soul waits for the LORD: He is our help and our shield.”
Psalm 33:16-20
Pagan Practices in the Modern Day
“And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord God… I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.”
Amos 8:9-10
Valentine’s Day – Lupercalia
Valentines Day, the modern day name for the ancient roman feast of Lupercalia, was celebrated around the world in February. This ancient fertility celebration is recognized by cupid, a naked boy with an arrow. The Roman Catholic priesthood is currently embroiled in a world-wide child sex-abuse scandal which many seem to forget as they celebrate a Roman holiday with a pagan god of pedophilia, Cupid, as a primary decoration. It is not a coincidence that there is a connection between Lupercalia, Saint Valentine and the organization that continues celebrating this very unholy day.
Ash Wednesday – Lent
Ash Wednesday is the day after Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday when the Bacchus celebrations turn to a time of fasting. This unholy day, like Mardi Gras and Carnival (or Saturnalia), is again an ancient practice that is not in-line with God. Read this article and this article to learn more!
Worshiping the Dead
The supposed bones of Saint Francis of Assisi, who died 800 years ago in 1226, are now drawing hundreds of thousands of people to the Italian town of Assisi. Francis of Assisi is the patron saint of Italy. A skeleton of bones claimed to be the ancient priest are now on display for one month in a bulletproof Plexiglas case. The bones are a dead giveaway that Francis is dead, so it is unclear why the case had to be bulletproof.
Catholics venerate the physical remains of the dead ‘to experience the spirit that lived in them‘ according to the spokesman for the Franciscans of Assisi. A public holiday will be held in Italy on October 4th to mark the day of his death. This is nothing more than the ancient pagan practice of worshiping the dead.
“For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living…”
Luke 20:38
“Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands. They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. They that make them are like unto them (dead); so is every one that trusts in them.”
Psalms 115:4-8
Catholic Church Sexual Abuse Scandal
Rarely making the news these days is the ongoing child sex abuse scandal that permeates the Roman Catholic Church. In February a ‘landmark’ ruling in Australia found the Catholic Church had failed to protect a child from a pedophile priest back in 1969.
Ongoing legal cases are still addressing abuse cases from over 50 years ago for many reasons. First off, children are very unlikely to speak up about abuse that is carried out by a ‘respected’ religious leader. Secondly, the Roman Catholic Church has been a staunch lobbyist for statute-of-limitation laws around the world. When abused children grow up and reach a point where they can speak up about the abuse they experienced, the laws work against their ability to identify and convict their abusers. This landmark case in Australia ‘represents a major shift in the liability of the church for abuse by its clergy’ and ‘opens up an avenue for more survivors to successfully sue the church.’
Long History of Child Sexual Abuse
The Roman Catholic church has a long history of sexual abuse of minors. This document from 1962 is a written instruction ‘on the manner of proceeding in cases of solicitation’ which is when a priest tempts a penitent toward ‘impure and obscene matters.’ In other words, the sexual abuse of children. This is just a document showing the need to handle such cases and is in no wise an indication when the crimes started. Levi wrote about a future when a pedophile priesthood would still exist.
“In the seventh week there will come priests; idolaters, adulterers, money lovers, arrogant, lawless, voluptuaries, pederasts, those who practice bestiality.”
Testament of Levi 17:11
Sexual abuse of children by clergy in the Roman Catholic Church has not stopped. The Bishop Accountability organization tracks news articles from around the world related to both old and new abuse accusations and convictions. A few examples from February include; two former Jesuit priests who abused women in Chile, bishops in Italy who knowingly covered up sexual abuse of minors and a Spanish bishop accused of sexual abuse of minors. In the US 43 Catholic Dioceses have sought bankruptcy protection as a result of the sexual abuse carried out by their clergy.
“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are like unto whited sepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so you also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.”
Matthew 23:27-28
Corruption in High Places
More Epstein files were released to the public in February with one UN expert concluding some acts ‘amount to crimes against humanity,’ The 3 million emails and photos which the US government has possessed for some time are now leading to consequences for many wealthy folks in high positions. Trump continues to deflect questions regarding the documents and deny any relevancy even though Trump, Melania and Mar-a-logo are mentioned 38,000 times in the documents. Meanwhile, in the UK, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formally known as Prince Andrew was arrested and then released for the crime of misconduct in public office. Peter Mandelson, a UK politician has been arrested and charged with the same offense. Morgan McSweeney, chief of staff to the UK’s prime minister Keir Starmer, stepped down from his position due to connections with Epstein.
Exposed by Documents
In Norway, two senior diplomats, a husband and wife, are under investigation by the Financial Crimes squad, after the Epstein documents revealed their two children ‘were bequeathed $10 million by Epstein’ and that the husband was appointed ‘executor of Epstein’s will’ for a short period of time. The Crown Princess of Norway was also shown to have had ties with Epstein as well as a former Labor prime minister.
In the US, several people have voluntarily stepped down from their positions, but no new arrests have been made. Thomas Pritzker, the executive chair of the Hyatt hotel chain, stepped down from the position after his friendly ties to Epstein were revealed.
The documents continue to reveal collusion between CEO’s, politicians, royalty and spy agencies in addition to the horrific sex trafficking of predominately underage girls. The combination of facilitating sexual favors with those operating in the upper echelons is how highly influential people were and are bribed and manipulated. For an in-depth look at Epstein before the recent document release reference ‘One Nation Under Bribery’ by Whitney Webb.
Tribulation
“Behold, the day of the LORD comes, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and He shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it… And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible… Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of His fierce anger.”
Isaiah 13:9-13
Shootings
A mass shooting in a small town in Canada has shocked the nation. Eight people died including the shooters mother, step brother and young children from a secondary school. Over 20 additional people were injured. Articles refer to the shooter as ‘they’ even though the massacre was carried out by one individual, an 18-year old transgender woman who reportedly started transitioning genders at the age of 12.
“For then (at the end) 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
Protests
Iran Protests
Iranian protests picked up again in February prior to the US and Israel attacks. Most were students protesting those who had been killed in earlier protests. Once the new war started, protests against the war in Iran took place in the US, but also at US embassies around the world. A protest in Pakistan at the US embassy that turned violent resulted in 22 deaths.
Olympics
Various activist groups came together to protest the Winter Olympics in Italy. One organizer said, ‘Wages never grow, young people are fleeing abroad for work and there is more and more poverty. We are fed up with an Olympics that causes mayhem in the city, only brings temporary jobs and will leave lasting ecological damage.’ The prime minister of Italy called the protestors ‘enemies of Italy and Italians’ while continuing to push laws that deter protesting. A law passed one day before the Olympics allows police ‘to detain for up to 12 hours those suspected of being potential agitators prior to a protest.’ This is entering the world of arrests made before the perceived crime is committed! What was considered dystopian fiction is becoming reality.
“And there shall be… upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring (protests).”
Luke 21:25
Extreme Weather
Snow, Ice and Extreme Cold
Record-breaking snowfall continues in Japan. In some places the height of the snow has reached 6.5 feet. Thirty-five people have died and 126 people have been seriously injured.
Snow has also brought avalanches around the world. At least 88 people died in avalanches across Europe and nine died in California. Along with the snow, many areas in the East have had extreme cold. In New York 18 people died from the extreme weather.
Rain and Wind
Extreme rainfall and wind have devastated the western Mediterranean. Spain had been hit particularly hard with a years worth of rain falling on one city in one week this February. Power, internet and telephone outages have impacted, Spain, Portugal and Morocco as an unprecedented 16 ‘rapid-fire’ storms hit the region.
In Brazil, 70 people died when heavy rainfall led to floods and mudslides. The city of Juiz de Fora had over 30 inches of rain in February which is three times the monthly average.
Sinkholes!
One consequence of changing groundwater levels, a consequence of extreme heat, drought and increased water extraction, is sinkholes! The agricultural areas of Turkey are experiencing sinkholes on a frequency never seen before. In one region, an estimated 700 sinkholes have opened.
Look Up!
Solar weather in February started off strong with six X-class solar flares in the first four days. This quickly changed when the sun’s activity died down for the rest of the month. For the first time in four years there was a spotless day on the sun. In fact, the sun went blank for three days in a row.
Caught in Unawares
“And take heed to yourself, lest at any time your hearts are overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness1“The serpents are the leaders of the peoples and their wine is their ways.” DD 3:19, and cares of this life, and so that day comes upon you in unawareness. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. You watch therefore, and pray always, that you may be able to escape all these things that shall come to pass and to stand before the Son of Adam.”
Luke 21:34-36
