Welcome to Prophecy Updates #822, where we delve into fascinating current trends through the lens of Bible prophecy. In this installment, “River Walk,” we explore remarkable geographical changes unfolding in Israel that align with unfulfilled prophetic scriptures. If you’re seeking a deeper understanding of Bible prophecy, end times, and how today’s world reflects biblical predictions, you’ve come to the right place.

Join us as we examine a significant prophecy from the book of Ezekiel, chapter 47, verses 6 through 11. This passage speaks of a river flowing eastward, healing the waters of the Dead Sea and bringing life where there was once barrenness. We unpack the details of this prophecy and connect it to tangible events happening in Israel right now.

In this video, we highlight compelling evidence of this prophecy’s near fulfillment. Discover how water is currently flowing into the Dead Sea, undergoing a natural purification process. Learn about the formation of thousands of natural craters, known as bolaines, which are capturing salt deposits. Witness the surprising presence of small fish in areas where the healing waters are reaching. It’s truly amazing to see these developments occurring naturally and exclusively on the Israeli side of the Dead Sea, pointing towards the prophetic future described by Ezekiel.

We emphasize the concept of near and far fulfillments in Bible prophecy, suggesting that these current events are significant indicators of what is yet to come. This is not man-made; it is a natural unfolding that resonates powerfully with biblical predictions.

Beyond this incredible development in Israel, we also touch upon a peculiar news item from the UK regarding planned open-air experiments in solar geo-engineering. While we don’t believe this to be prophetic, it serves as a thought-provoking example of global efforts to address climate change, a topic often discussed in the context of end times discussions.

For our viewers interested in Christian theology and Bible study, we also reaffirm the comforting promise given by Jesus to His Church in Revelation 3:10: protection from the coming hour of trial. We discuss the imminence of the resurrection and rapture of the church, underscoring that this pivotal event could occur at any moment, with no preceding prophecies needing fulfillment.

This video is a must-watch for anyone engaged in Bible study, seeking to understand Christian perspectives on current events, and specifically those interested in Bible prophecy and the end times. If you regularly watch sermons and teachings from Calvary Chapel or are looking for insightful analysis of biblical prophecies, this update is for you.

This video dives deep into current world trends aligning with Bible prophecies, offering a biblical perspective on the End Times. Join us for an in-depth Bible study exploring the Olivet Discourse, the Days of Noah, and their relevance to today’s world events.

In this episode, we examine biometrics, artificial intelligence, cashless commerce, human DNA manipulation, global government, instantaneous global communication, and the movement to rebuild the Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. These trends, predicted in the Bible, are unfolding before our eyes. We discuss Jesus’ teachings on the 7-year period following the rapture of the Church, drawing parallels to the Days of Noah described in Genesis 6. Learn about the Nephilim, fallen angels, and their role in corrupting human DNA, as verified by the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Book of the Giants.

We also explore modern genetic manipulation—gene editing, cloning, transhumanism, and the revival of the dire wolf through de-extinction efforts by Colossal Bioscience. Hear insights from Ben Lamm’s appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, where he revealed China’s advancements in genetically modified children. These developments echo the Days of Noah, signaling the End Times as foretold by Jesus.

This Bible study is perfect for Christians, Bible prophecy enthusiasts, and those seeking sermons on the rapture, Second Coming, and End Times events. We unpack Revelation 3:10, where Jesus promises to keep His Church from the hour of trial. Are you ready for the imminent rapture? Discover how to prepare spiritually and stay ready for Christ’s return.

Prophecy Update #820 – Keep Scrolling

April 6, 2025

When discussing the Dead Sea Scrolls, the term “fragments” comes-up often. It refers to the small, often broken, pieces of parchment or papyrus that make up much of the collection. Keep that in mind.

Welcome to Prophecy Updates #820, part of our ongoing Bible prophecy series from a Calvary Chapel perspective. In this episode, we explore current world trends aligning with biblical predictions about the end times. Topics include biometrics, artificial intelligence, cashless commerce, human DNA manipulation, global government, instantaneous global communication, and the push to rebuild the Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. These signs, foretold in Scripture, are accelerating like never before, offering insight into God’s prophetic timeline.

We dive into Daniel 12:4, where the prophet is told to “seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” This verse could point to a growing understanding of Bible prophecy, especially Israel’s dispensational role in the last days. Alternatively, it may predict the explosion of technology, science, and global travel in the modern era—clear end times indicators. Yet, a third interpretation ties this prophecy to the Dead Sea Scrolls, ancient manuscripts discovered between 1947 and 2021 near Qumran. These fragments, including Zechariah and Nahum translations, reveal biblical truths preserved for the end times.

The Dead Sea Scrolls connect to Elijah’s prophetic school and the Tanna Eliyihu, referenced in 3rd-century commentaries. Elijah’s words, “Truth will be found in fragments,” may foreshadow these discoveries, unveiling hidden insights from Daniel and John’s sealed writings for the last days. For deeper study, check out Dr. Ken Johnson at biblefacts.org.

This Bible study unpacks how these trends and discoveries signal the nearness of the rapture, as promised in Revelation 3:10. Jesus assures His Church protection from the coming global trial. The resurrection and rapture are imminent—nothing stands in its way. Are you ready? Get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up, because Jesus is coming soon!

Join us for this sermon and prophecy update as we connect Scripture to today’s headlines. Perfect for Christians, Bible students, and those exploring end times prophecy from a dispensational Calvary Chapel viewpoint.

Welcome to Prophecy Updates #819 – Shut-up, Daniel, part of our ongoing series exploring current world trends aligning with Bible prophecy. In this episode, we dive deep into the Book of Daniel, specifically Daniel 12:4, where it says, “shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” Join us as we unpack how today’s advancements in biometrics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), cashless commerce, human DNA manipulation, global government, instantaneous communication, and the push to rebuild the Temple on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount reflect biblical predictions for the end times.

This Bible study and sermon from a Calvary Chapel perspective examines how these prophetic signs are trending like never before. We explore two interpretations of “knowledge shall increase”: a growing understanding of God’s plan for Israel and the Church, as emphasized in dispensationalist teaching, and the explosion of technology, science, and global travel in the modern era. Artificial Intelligence stands out as a key focus, with experts like Elon Musk warning of its potential to surpass human intelligence and pose serious risks—could AI be setting the stage for end-times events?

For those seeking in-depth Bible prophecy insights, this video connects scripture to today’s headlines, highlighting the rapture, the Great Tribulation, and the distinct destinies of the Church and Israel. Jesus’ promise in Revelation 3:10 assures the Church escape from the coming hour of trial, while Israel’s salvation follows the Tribulation. The resurrection and rapture remain imminent—ready or not, Jesus is coming!

Perfect for Christians, Bible students, and prophecy enthusiasts, this episode offers a thought-provoking look at how technology and world events align with God’s Word. Are you ready for the end times? Get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up as we approach the fulfillment of these ancient prophecies.

Prophecy Update #818 – His Number Is 6GG

March 16, 2025

Technological advances like the coming 6G networks interest us because the Book of the Revelation predicts a global government whose cashless economy and services will be accessed by a personal biometric identifier.

Welcome to Prophecy Update #818 – His Number Is 6GG, part of our ongoing series exploring current world trends aligning with Bible prophecy about the end times. This video dives deep into biblical futurism, where we interpret unfulfilled prophetic passages as literal, physical, apocalyptic, and global future events. Join us for an in-depth Bible study examining how today’s technological advancements—biometrics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), cashless commerce, human DNA manipulation, global government, instant global communication, exponential knowledge growth, and the push to rebuild the Temple on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount—match predictions in the Book of Revelation.

In this sermon, we focus on 6G technology, the next generation of wireless innovation succeeding 5G. Expected by 2030, 6G promises faster speeds, lower latency, and efficient connectivity, enabling AI-driven networks, immersive augmented and virtual reality, Internet of Things (IoT) applications, smart cities, autonomous systems, and even brain-computer interfaces. These advancements aren’t just about better phones—they signal a tyrannical surveillance society foretold in Scripture. Revelation predicts a global government enforcing a cashless economy, accessible only through a personal biometric identifier on the forehead or hand. Once unimaginable, this system could launch today, perfectly describing the antichrist’s rule during the Great Tribulation.

We explore insights from experts like David Bowen, who warns of 6G’s role in a 40-year march toward total surveillance, control, and loss of autonomy. Samsung claims 6G will transform entertainment, medicine, education, and manufacturing, integrating AI and automation into every aspect of life. This aligns with end-times prophecy, where every action, conversation, and movement could be tracked and controlled—hallmarks of the future tribulation government.

For Christians, Bible students, and those curious about prophecy, this video connects today’s headlines to Revelation 3:10, where Jesus promises to keep believers from the hour of trial. The rapture and resurrection of the church are imminent—could happen any moment. Are you ready? This Calvary Chapel-style teaching urges you to get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up, because Jesus is coming soon.

Prophecy Update #817 – We Do Digital Right | Bible Prophecy, End Times, and the Coming Cashless System

Are we witnessing the rapid rise of a global, cashless economy that will play a role in end-times prophecy? In this week’s Prophecy Update #817, we examine how biometrics, artificial intelligence, and digital commerce are shaping a world that aligns with Bible prophecy. As technology advances, we see clear indications of a future system described in the Book of Revelation, where a one-world government will control global trade through a personal biometric identifier.

The Bible foretells a time when no one will be able to buy or sell without a mark on their hand or forehead (Revelation 13:16-17). What was once considered impossible is now becoming reality. From cashless transactions to AI-driven commerce, companies like Yum Brands (KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut) are moving toward 100% digital sales, reflecting the technological infrastructure necessary for the prophesied global economic system.

What You’ll Learn in This Prophecy Update:

– How biometrics, AI, and digital payments point to the coming cashless society
– Why global corporations are pushing for 100% digital sales and what it means for Bible prophecy
– How the mark of the beast system could be implemented today
– What the Bible says about the seven-year Great Tribulation and the Antichrist’s economic control
– The promise of the rapture of the Church—why believers in Jesus Christ won’t be here for the tribulation

Signs of the Last Days – Are You Ready?

The resurrection and rapture of the Church is imminent. Jesus promised:
“I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the Earth.” (Revelation 3:10)

The world is being conditioned for a global system that will dominate during the Great Tribulation. But Christians have hope—we are not appointed to God’s wrath! Are you ready for the return of Jesus Christ?

Prophecy Update #816 – Trump & Temple

February 23, 2025

Prime Minister of Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, recently called President Trump the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House. In his first term, President Trump did something amazing for Israel. He moved their embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

There is a great deal of speculation that Jews in Jerusalem will take advantage of the Trump presidency in order to get the Temple built.

Those around Trump would like to see the Temple built. Speaking at an event in Jerusalem in 2018, now Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said there was “no reason why the miracle of re-establishing the Temple on the Temple Mount isn’t possible,” using the Israeli name for the raised plateau in occupied East Jerusalem where Al-Aqsa Mosque stands.

He also told attendees that Israel should take advantage of Trump being in office to do what they needed to do in the region, because there were “true believers” in Washington who would back them.

Right now it remains speculation. We are simply pointing-out that this is exactly what you would expect to read about in the news if you are familiar with the Bible and its prophecies.

Prophecy Update #815 – Hard To Swallow

February 16, 2025

Jesus compares His future death, burial, and resurrection to the experience of Jonah (Matthew 12:39-40). Jonah spent three days and three nights in the belly of a great fish, and similarly, Jesus would be in the tomb for three days and three nights before rising again.

I hope you saw the video this week of a kayaker being momentarily swallowed by a whale!

PROPHECY UPDATE #815 – HARD TO SWALLOW | Bible Prophecy & Viral News

What does a viral video of a kayaker getting swallowed by a whale have to do with Bible prophecy? In Matthew 12:39-40, Jesus compares His death, burial, and resurrection to the experience of Jonah, who spent three days and three nights in the belly of a great fish. This remarkable event foreshadowed Christ’s time in the tomb before His glorious resurrection.

While this recent whale encounter isn’t a direct prophetic sign, it does remind us of something undeniable: Jesus is alive, and He is coming back. Could God have a sense of humor and a flair for the dramatic? This Bible study and prophecy update explores the sign of Jonah, what Jesus meant by it, and why it still matters today.

Prophecy Update #814 – L.A. 2.0

January 26, 2025

In the wake of the fires in Los Angeles, some governmental leaders are suggesting we rebuild towns like Pacific Palisades and Eaton as ‘Smart Cities,’ with what they call a modern Marshall Plan. It sounds utopian, but history and prophecy suggest it would more likely be dystopian.

Control over the total population is predicted for the Last Days. There has never been a time in human history in which the government has had so many tools and the technology to significantly control everything about you.

In Prophecy Update #814 – L.A. 2.0, we explore the aftermath of the devastating fires in Los Angeles and the controversial proposal to rebuild towns like Pacific Palisades and Eaton as “Smart Cities.” While the idea of a modern Marshall Plan might sound promising, what does it mean for personal freedom? These Smart Cities could bring sweeping changes: no single-family zoning, mandatory public transit, and unprecedented government control over daily life. Could this be a utopian dream or a dystopian reality?

Bible prophecy foretells a time of total population control in the Last Days. Today’s technology gives governments tools to monitor and regulate society like never before. Could these Smart Cities be the stepping stones toward fulfilling end-times prophecy? Join us for an in-depth study of what the Bible says about the future and how current events align with Scripture.

Prophecy Update #812 – Normies

January 12, 2025

Hermeneutics is the study of how to interpret the Bible. What principles & methods do we follow? Why do we follow them?

Follow us on YouTube at https://youtube.com/calvaryhanford

Join us for Prophecy Update #812, where we explore the foundational Biblical hermeneutic used at Calvary Hanford—a literal, grammatical-historical approach to interpreting Scripture. In this video, we discuss why it’s essential to read the Bible as we would any other literature, paying attention to the plain, normal meaning of words, while recognizing literary devices like metaphors and symbols within their proper context.

This method leads us to two key conclusions:

The Bible should be understood in its straightforward, literal sense.
Ethnic Israel and the Church are distinct entities in God’s overarching plan for humanity.

By interpreting the Bible this way, we embrace a “normal” reading that honors its genre, historical setting, and the intent of its authors. This perspective not only enriches our understanding of Bible prophecy but also strengthens our faith as we see God’s plan unfolding with clarity and purpose.

Prophecy Update #794 – This Mount Is My Mount

July 28, 2024

None of the major news outlets understand the true cause of the fighting in Israel that began with the October 7 attack by Hamas.

In May of 2021 Hamas launched rockets in retaliation for Israeli security forces entering the Al Aqsa Mosque after Palestinians threw stones and other objects at them. Hamas opposes any changes to the status quo at Jerusalem’s Temple Mount.

The current war was started by Hamas in response to the arrival of the red heifers. These exceedingly rare animals are needed to establish worship on the Temple Mount. In January, 2024, a Hamas spokesman specifically identified the red heifers as proof Israel would soon try to destroy the Mosque & other Islamic buildings.

Prophecy Update #792 – Before Your Very Eyes

July 14, 2024

One day the Holy Land was under British control. The next day, Israel was a sovereign nation.

Over 2,800 years ago, the prophet Ezekiel spoke these words about Israel:

“I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land” (36:24).

The first part of that was fulfilled on May 14, 1948. Isaiah made this wild claim: “Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion was in labor, She gave birth to her children” (66:8).

Prophecy Update #756 – The G

September 17, 2023

We are rushing headlong into the tyrannical one-world predicted in the Bible. If polls are correct, most of the people in the world favor it.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has determined that we have fewer than 10 years to reduce global emissions by half to avoid the worst impacts of catastrophic climate change. To tackle this urgent need, they say we must align food policy with climate policy and drastically reduce the amount of meat and dairy produced. This is especially true for countries with high consumption, like the United States. Cutting 90% of beef consumption and replacing 50% of other animal-based foods with plant-based foods in the United States would save more than 2 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions from being released into our atmosphere by 2030.

We are on the verge of a global, completely cashless economy that will be accessed by a personal biometric identifier.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. calls trend “the slippery slope to financial slavery and political tyranny.” That’s an extreme statement, but you can see how it is true. Once you must rely upon an all digital economy, the government will most assuredly gain access to your account to punish you, or to force behaviors they deem necessary.

Prophecy Update #725 – I Fought The L.A.W.S.

December 4, 2022

The Beast in the Revelation will ultimately have the power and ability to kill anyone who does not swear allegiance to him. We expect government to be moving in the direction of more control over its citizens, and to be developing remote means to use lethal force. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy Update #724 – Digital Dictators

November 20, 2022

We live at the time in the only time in human history in which it is possible for a universal ‘mark’ to identify every person on Earth. That by itself should stun you. The Mark of the Beast, whatever it will be, will render a person a global citizen under totalitarian control. We would therefore expect world leaders to be moving in the direction of global government that strips citizens of their rights. That is precisely the path world leaders are on.

Prophecy Update #721 – Putin The Exorcist

October 30, 2022

When was the last time a conflict was described as a holy war, with Satanic influences, involving the antichrist and the end of the world? I’m not suggesting that Putin is the antichrist, or that the head of the Russian Orthodox Church is the false prophet. I am saying that the rhetoric coming out of Russia is not at all unusual in the prophetic light of the Book of the Revelation. We expect religion and politics to be in tandem during that awful time.

The totalitarian, global government of the antichrist will enforce its mandates by restricting what a person can buy or sell. This will affect every aspect of life.

Two-thousand plus years ago, the apostle John wrote about the future.
