August 17, 2026 Joel‘s prophecy concerning visions in the last days has come true, a host of end time signs

I want to take this time to thank our Lord Jesus Christ for allowing me to meet some wonderful people at the airport yesterday and on the plane to the destination that I was flying to. It’s a blessing to know that there are other Christians holding onto their faith in these trying times.

The prophecy : Joel 2:28:

“Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.”

Two kids speak with Jesus one of the kids gives specific details of the last days, including what appears to be the rapture of the church, and names what appears to be the Book of Life and, if your name isn’t in this book, you refused Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and heaven will not be your home for eternity.

Second child’s comment concerning seeing Jesus.

Chinese Orbiter Smashes Starlink With a Tiny 2-Watt Laser Fired From 36,000 KM Above Earth
A 2-watt laser pulled off a satellite downlink from 36,000 km up, using a new signal trick that pushed performance far beyond earlier results. The result was a 1 gigabit-per-second downlink from a satellite in stationary orbit using a laser transmitter rated at just 2 watts. The South China Morning Post reported the experiment on June 17, 2025, describing the recorded data rate as five times faster than Starlink in its comparison.

People want to know why the United States being the superpower that it is is not shown in Bible prophecy, except the possibility as the young lions who do nothing to help Israel during the Ezekiel 38 war. it is very possible to decline of America will help speed up the last days prophecies and, bring on the one world government and religion that Jesus weren’t about in the book of revelation.

Current trends show socialist and radical Muslim leaders will end up destroying America as we know. it. This could be one of the reasons why we see no mention of America as a superpower in the last days, except as the young lions in the Ezekiel prophecy where we believe America is one of the young lions who do nothing to help Israel when they’re attacked by the Muslims.

Matthew 24:

30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.

31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.

32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.

For months, the U.S. has been getting pummeled by one major disaster after another, and the past few days have been absolutely insane. Hurricane Lala just dumped more than two feet of rain in some parts of Hawaii, we are witnessing the worst flooding in the entire modern history of Indiana, the endless drought in the Southwest has caused Lake Powell to drop to the lowest level ever recorded, and an absolutely massive heat dome is going to make it feel like it is over 110 degrees in many cities in the Southeast on Monday. If it was just one disastrous week, we could write this off as bad luck. But it hasn’t just been one disastrous week. In fact, we have been experiencing a nightmarish string of natural disasters that stretches all the way back to 2024. So why is this happening to us?
Hurricane Lala was not supposed to be this powerful.

According to CNN, more than 30 inches of rain have already fallen on Hawaii’s Big Island…

Videos obtained by CNN show streets flooded by torrential rainfall on the Big Island, which got over 30 inches of rain. More than 190 flights in and out of Hawaii have been postponed, Green said.

Emergency responders are expected to be busy dealing with urgent matters for 36 hours as the storm passes Hawaii, with damage assessment expected to begin on Monday, the governor said.

Have you ever lived somewhere that suddenly got 30 inches of rain?

The National Hurricane Center has issued a warning for those that live in Hawaii to be alert for life-threatening flooding and mudslides.

Those that live in areas with steep terrain will be particularly in danger.

By the time it is all said and done, it is being projected that Lala will dump up to 35 inches of rain in some areas…

By the time Lala’s completely gone, some higher-altitude places on the Big Island, dominated by the towering Mauna Kea volcano, will have been hit with as much as 35 inches (89 centimeters) of rain, forecasters said, enough to loosen steep slopes where some of the 210,000 islanders live off the grid in improvised housing.

I can’t even imagine that much rain, because I have never experienced anything like it.

Officials instituted a search and rescue mission after a number of homes were reportedly “swept off their foundations”

The island of Oahu, including the state’s capital Honolulu, is under a flash flood warning Sunday morning. Parts of Hawaii’s Big Island are also under a flash flood warning, and National Weather Service had previously called that warning a “Particularly Dangerous Situation.”

“Several occupied homes may have been swept off their foundations, and based on that, civil defense has initiated a search and rescue mission,” Hawaii County Mayor Kimo Alameda said overnight.

One minute you are sleeping, and the next minute your house is literally being swept along by floodwaters.

That is how fast it can happen.

In fact, Accuweather is telling us that there were “wind gusts as high as 140 mph” on Mauna Kea…

Lala also brought extremely high winds to the island chain.

As of Sunday morning, wind gusts as high as 140 mph have been observed at the summit of Mauna Kea on the Big Island, where heavy snow and blizzard conditions were observed. Intermediate elevation gusts to 91 mph have been observed at Waimea on the Big Island and near 80 mph on Molokai.

Meanwhile, Indiana is dealing with a flooding disaster that is absolutely unprecedented.

Entire communities are underwater, and officials are calling this a “once-in-a-lifetime” event…

Six people are dead and many more are missing as torrential rain spawned destructive high water across Indiana in what authorities are calling “once-in-a-lifetime floods.”

Entire towns were inundated with murky water as rising rivers exceeded their banks, with some residents taking to kayaks and small boats to save fellow residents or to escape, according to news outlets.

There are actually portions of several states that have been severely flooded, but Indiana was hit the worst.

At one point, the White River actually set a brand new all-time record by reaching a level of 24.93 feet

The day after a destructive derecho tore across northern Indiana and parts of Illinois, rivers in eastern Indiana swelled, engulfing homes and reaching historic levels.

The White River at Anderson, Indiana, reached 24.93 feet early Friday morning. This surpassed the previous record of 23.60 feet set in 1913, more than a century ago. The river had not been above 20 feet at this location since 1958.

At Raible Avenue in Anderson, the river crested Friday morning at 21.60 feet, just shy of its record of 23.00 feet, also set in 1913.

What a nightmare.

Some of the images that are coming out of Indiana are absolutely heartbreaking

While the center of the country keeps getting hammered by one storm after another, the western third of the nation continues to endure a multi-year drought of epic proportions.

I wrote about the horrific wildfires in the Northwest at the end of last week.

In the Southwest, the big story today is the fact that Lake Powell has now hit the lowest level ever recorded

Lake Powell, the giant reservoir on the Utah-Arizona border that helps power millions of homes, has fallen to its lowest level ever amidst a worsening western drought exacerbated by climate change.

The lake’s surface dropped to 3,519.91 feet above sea level on Aug. 15, according to the Bureau of Reclamation’s automated gauge system. The previous lowest level was 3,519.92 feet, reached in April 2023. Dropping below 3,490 feet could imperil the lake’s ability to generate electricity, and federal officials have been pulling water out of smaller reservoirs upstream to help delay reaching that level.

Federal officials are going to do what they can, but if it simply doesn’t rain this crisis is only going to intensify.

If you live in that area of the country, this is a story that you will want to watch very closely.

In the Southeast, a gigantic heat dome continues to absolutely bake tens of millions of Americans

An extensive heat dome will continue to build across the Gulf Coast early this week, bringing several days of dangerous heat and high humidity with little overnight relief and increasing the risk of heat-related illnesses.

On Monday, it is going to feel like it is 113 degrees in Jacksonville, Florida.

That is hot!

Of course it isn’t just the United States that has been experiencing more frequent natural disasters.

Since the beginning of June, our planet just hasn’t stopped shaking.

I wrote about the magnitude 7 or greater earthquakes that have been occurring in recent months last week, and now we have another one to add to the list

Rescuers started arriving today for thousands of evacuees on Indonesia’s Flores Island after a powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake killed 51 people, injured dozens and damaged hundreds of houses and buildings.

Some 5,000 people fled their homes as the quake hit the island on Saturday at 5.58am local time – around 11pm in the UK.

It was followed by at least 341 aftershocks, a spokesman for the BNPB national disaster agency, Berton Suar Pelita Panjaitan, said.

Magnitude 7 or greater earthquakes are supposed to be rare.

In some years, we have less than 10.

But now they are happening with alarming regularity.

We live at a time of tremendous chaos.

Catastrophic events are occurring all around us, and I fully expect the months ahead to be even crazier.

Hawaii Braces For Direct Tropical Storm Hit On Big Island 
Hawaii’s Big Island is under a hurricane warning as Tropical Storm Lala is expected to make landfall on Saturday local time, according to the National Hurricane Center. “This is a very serious storm,” Hawaii Gov. Josh Green told reporters late Friday night. “We have not had a hurricane make landfall in quite some time. So none of us really have experienced this really in, you know, the last couple of decades.”

AND IN THAT DAY WILL | MAKE JERUSALEM A BURDENSOME STONE FOR ALL PEOPLE: ALL THAT BURDEN THEMSELVES WITH IT SHALL BE CUT IN PIECES, THOUGH ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE EARTH
BE GATHERED TOGETHER AGAINST IT.

2 powerful earthquakes hit Indonesia in one day; one killing at least 47
A 7.7 earthquake that struck eastern Indonesia on Saturday killed at least 47 people. A second, 6.4 quake struck the country’s western Sumatra island later. Authorities said dozens more residents were injured and warned that the death toll would almost certainly rise.

Nearly 1,000 aftershocks followed Indonesia earthquake that killed at least 53
Rescuers raced to find survivors after the powerful earthquake shook the Flores region on Saturday, and it was quickly followed by a 6.4 quake that struck the country’s western Sumatra island. Authorities said more than 130 residents were injured and warned that the death toll would almost certainly rise.

In the next report environmentalism says they need to kill off 4 billion people. Well they’re going to get their wish but, they won’t like it because the wrath that’s poured out to kill over 2 billion will come from God, not the environmentalists . Read what Jesus shows us below.

The four angels are released, and an enormous army kills “a third of mankind.” Revelation 9:18 says:18 A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths.

If the world’s population is roughly 8+ billion, one-third would be well over 2 billion people if the event occurred with a population of that size.

“By these three plagues was the third part of men killed…”

The fourth horseman is given authority:

2. Revelation 6:8 — a fourth of the earth

“over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, and with the beasts of the earth.”

That is another staggering number, although the verse does not necessarily mean exactly one-quarter of the world’s population is killed. in any case what the environmentalist have wished God had already shown us. It was going to happen in the future in the future is now.

An Inversion of God’s Design: New Study Says Human Population Needs to Be Cut in Half
Today’s environmentalism says humans are a blight, a disease, on this planet and we need to start removing ourselves for the betterment of everything else. Consider this quote from a new study that claims we need to halve the world population, taking it from 8 billion to less than 4 billion, by 2200.

Ten years ago I tried to warn as many people as I could about what was coming to the United States. At that time, Islam’s growing influence throughout the European Economic Community (EEC) was already well underway. What many people dismissed then as impossible or exaggerated has continued to unfold before our eyes. What has taken place across parts of Europe is now moving into cities throughout the United States. The question is no longer whether this influence is coming—it is how far it will be allowed to go. This is not a warning against ordinary Muslims or against anyone because of their faith. It is a warning about radical Islamic ideology and the political movement that seeks to use American institutions to advance it. America is at a crossroads. The people—not political parties, religious organizations, or special-interest groups—will ultimately decide the direction of this nation through their votes. The Bible warns that deception and apostasy will increase as we approach the last days. Jesus told His followers to watch, discern the times, and not be deceived. We cannot afford to close our eyes to what is happening around us. The warning I gave in 2016 still stands: what begins as a political movement can eventually become a transformation of an entire society. America must wake up before it is too late. If you believe radical Islamic ideology poses a threat to America’s biblical heritage, constitutional freedoms, and national identity, then do not remain silent. Study the candidates. Examine their records. Once you hear that Islamic radical agenda and you see it at the polls at the voting boxes. Your vote had better been made not with the left because they joined with those of the radical Islamic movement.

If you have just discovered my prophecy site, I want you to know what sets it apart from most prophecy websites.

I don’t simply report the news—I show you how current events connect to the Bible and the prophecies Jesus gave us, helping you understand the signs of the times in which we are living.

Many prophecy sites report the latest events but stop there. They may tell you what is happening without explaining why it matters from a biblical perspective. If you don’t have a strong understanding of the Bible and Bible prophecy, it can be difficult to see the connection.

My goal is to bridge that gap. I want to help you understand not only what is happening in the world, but how those events may relate to the prophetic Scriptures and the times Jesus warned us about.

Its president put the total of missing at 195, but civilian-run databases put the number at over 4,000 Wednesday.


Ten years ago I tried to warn as many people as I could about what was coming to the United States. At that time, Islam’s growing influence throughout the European Economic Community (EEC) was already well underway. What many people dismissed then as impossible or exaggerated has continued to unfold before our eyes. What has taken place across parts of Europe is now moving into cities throughout the United States. The question is no longer whether this influence is coming—it is how far it will be allowed to go. This is not a warning against ordinary Muslims or against anyone because of their faith. It is a warning about radical Islamic ideology and the political movement that seeks to use American institutions to advance it. America is at a crossroads. The people—not political parties, religious organizations, or special-interest groups—will ultimately decide the direction of this nation through their votes. The Bible warns that deception and apostasy will increase as we approach the last days. Jesus told His followers to watch, discern the times, and not be deceived. We cannot afford to close our eyes to what is happening around us. The warning I gave in 2016 still stands: what begins as a political movement can eventually become a transformation of an entire society. America must wake up before it is too late. If you believe radical Islamic ideology poses a threat to America’s biblical heritage, constitutional freedoms, and national identity, then do not remain silent. Study the candidates. Examine their records. Once you hear that Islamic radical agenda and you see it at the polls at the voting boxes. Your vote had better been made not with the left because they joined with those of the radical Islamic movement.

Islamic Republic in Iran hangs 24-Year-old woman who defended herself from sexual assault

Yesterday the regime executed Marziyeh Neyri yesterday, a young woman who was forced into marriage at age 17 and hanged for fighting back against her attacker. Marziyeh was 18 years old when her husband’s associate attempted to sexually assault her in her own home, in front of her husband. She grabbed a kitchen knife to defend herself. Her husband died in the struggle. She told the court she had been repeatedly assaulted by her husband’s associates before that day. Iran’s courts didn’t care. The regime rejected her self-defense claim. Her attacker, who survived, took the stand and called her a murderer. The court believed him over her.She was sentenced to death. No clemency. No mercy. The sentence was carried out at Chubindar Prison in Qazvin. Marziyeh Neyri never had a chance. Forced into marriage as a child under Iran’s Islamic laws, she spent the few years of her adult life in a courtroom, fighting for her life after defending it. She lost. This is the Sharia Laws in Islamic Republic of Iran where a woman can be hanged for surviving.

Florida’s Department of Health confirmed a second death from Vibrio vulnificus this year in data posted August 6, alongside 14 additional confirmed cases. Louisiana has recorded five deaths and nine total cases in 2026, every one of them a hospitalized patient who contracted the infection through a wound exposed to seawater and who had an underlying health condition.

Devastating ad exposes transgender mutilation of children
A new ad is taking aim at far-left Texas Democrat Senate nominee James Talarico’s record on LGBT issues, using artificial intelligence (AI) to depict the candidate as a gender “transition” surgeon looming over a little girl. The 30-second spot, created by American Principles Project (APP), evokes the famous 1964 “Daisy” ad from President Lyndon B. Johnson’s campaign that depicted a little girl picking flower petals before implicitly being caught in a nuclear explosion. The APP version replaces the looming threat of the Cold War arms race with the transgender industry. “She dreams of growing up, falling in love, becoming a mother,” a similarly voiced narrator says. “The trans industry preys on confused children.

A Warning America Must Not Ignore

If you have a family, you should be paying close attention. The growing political influence of organizations and leaders who promote radical Islamic ideology should concern every American who values their freedoms and constitutional principles upon which this nation was founded. Radical Islamic political leaders have formed alliances with Muslim organizations and activists in ways that, in my view, are helping advance an agenda that deserves careful scrutiny.

Ten years ago I tried to warn as many people as I could about what was coming to the United States. At that time, Islam’s growing influence throughout the European Economic Community (EEC) was already well underway. What many people dismissed then as impossible or exaggerated has continued to unfold before our eyes.

What has taken place across parts of Europe is now moving into cities throughout the United States. The question is no longer whether this influence is coming—it is how far it will be allowed to go.

This is not a warning against ordinary Muslims or against anyone because of their faith. It is a warning about radical Islamic ideology and the political movement that seeks to use American institutions to advance it.

America is at a crossroads. The people—not political parties, religious organizations, or special-interest groups—will ultimately decide the direction of this nation through their votes.

The Bible warns that deception and apostasy will increase as we approach the last days. Jesus told His followers to watch, discern the times, and not be deceived. We cannot afford to close our eyes to what is happening around us.

The warning I gave in 2016 still stands: what begins as a political movement can eventually become a transformation of an entire society. America must wake up before it is too late.

Examine their records. Once you hear that Islamic radical agenda and you see it at the polls at the voting boxes. Your vote had better been made not with the left because they joined with those of the radical Islamic movement.

Israel rejects Trump’s 15-point plan for Gaza, Netanyahu says

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected US President Donald Trump’s 15-point plan for Gaza, stating that no military pull-out will happen until Hamas is “genuinely” disarmed.

Trump’s Board of Peace said last month it had reached an agreement for the “complete disarmament” of Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza.

But Hamas said handing over its heavy weapons was contingent on Israel ending “all forms of aggression” and withdrawing its forces from Gaza.

Israel has continued to carry out strikes on Gaza since agreeing to an initial ceasefire in the territory last October.

“Israel rejects the 15-point document,” Netanyahu said at a cabinet meeting on Sunday.

If you have a family, you should be paying close attention. The growing political influence of organizations and leaders who promote radical Islamic ideology should concern every American who values the freedoms and constitutional principles upon which this nation was founded. Some political leaders have formed alliances with Muslim organizations and activists in ways that, in my view, are helping advance an agenda that deserves careful scrutiny.

Ten years ago I tried to warn as many people as I could about what I believed was coming to the United States. At that time, Islam’s growing influence throughout the European Economic Community (EEC) was already well underway. What many people dismissed then as impossible or exaggerated has continued to unfold before our eyes.

What has taken place across parts of Europe is now moving into cities throughout the United States. The question is no longer whether this influence is coming—it is how far it will be allowed to go.

This is not a warning against ordinary Muslims or against anyone because of their faith. It is a warning about radical Islamic ideology and the political movement that seeks to use American institutions to advance it.

America is at a crossroads. The people—not political parties, religious organizations, or special-interest groups—will ultimately decide the direction of this nation through their votes.

The Bible warns that deception and apostasy will increase as we approach the last days. Jesus told His followers to watch, discern the times, and not be deceived. We cannot afford to close our eyes to what is happening around us.

The warning I gave in 2016 still stands: what begins as a political movement can eventually become a transformation of an entire society. America must wake up before it is too late.

If you believe radical Islamic ideology poses a threat to America’s biblical heritage, constitutional freedoms, and national identity, then do not remain silent. Study the candidates. Examine their records. Once you hear that Islamic radical agenda and you see it at the polls at the voting boxes. Your vote had better been made not with the left because they joined with those of the radical Islamic movement.

On August 12th, there’s a parade of 6 planets in the sky, total solar eclipse, and peak of the Perseid meteor shower the same day. The probability of all three taking place the same day is “roughly 1 in several hundred million.” Could it be God is using the heavens to try to get our attention? If so, could it be that significant events are about to happen?

August 9, 2026 Americans beware of the Islamic agenda. It’s being played out before your eyes, and you will have to deal with it

In 2016, I produced a video you see below that showed what to expect from Islam in the future. Well, the future is here and without question the world is now seeing just how violent Islam is and, it is still spreading. Please watch my video to fully understand the reports below my video. I have a list of reports from 2025, and 2026. Hardly a week goes by now where we don’t see news concerning Islam and what it is doing to our society. The major problem is this, where Islam goes Muslims do not assimilate to the culture they move to. Their goal is to take it over and spread their radical Eastern religion. They have one goal which is to stamp out all other religions and make everyone submit or else! In Revelation 20:4 we see that anyone who does not take the mark of the Antichrist will be beheaded. I ask you, who have we seen in the news that beheads people? Those who hold to radical Islam. Pray for those in Islam that they meet Jesus Christ and be set free of the hate they carry. No real Christian wants them to be barred from heaven.

You can watch my warning from 2016 to show you what was gonna happen between Islam and Christians as Islam is now beginning to make a huge move in America.

August 8 – 2026 The Rape Gang Inquiry Report: Islamic collectivism and the Islamification of Britain
One way to view the lack of British state officials addressing the rape gang scandal is submissiveness to Islam. This prioritizes deference to Islam & Muslims while dismissing or assigning fault to non-believers. From this perspective, failure of authorities to act decisively against the grooming gang issue is the gradual Islamization of Britain.

August 7, 2026 – The Left’s False Prophet James Talarico is the ‘Smiling Face of the Red-Green Alliance that Spits on Christians and Jews to Elevate Islam’

 Terresa Monroe-Hamilton

A new poll shows that Islam-serving Democratic Rep. James Talarico is leading Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton in the race for the Senate there. Talarico is the face of the Red-Green Alliance and he makes it a habit to hate on both Christians and Jews while elevating Islam. Time to take a stand Texas.

Christians believe we are living in the “last days” because they see a combination of biblical prophecies and current world conditions that they believe resemble what Scripture says will happen before Christ’s return.

Here are the main reasons:

1. Jesus said there would be recognizable signs

In Matthew 24, Jesus described events preceding His return, including:

  • Wars and rumors of wars
  • Nation rising against nation
  • Famines
  • Earthquakes
  • Persecution of Christians
  • False prophets and deception
  • Increasing lawlessness
  • The gospel being preached throughout the world

Jesus also warned that these things would be like “the beginning of sorrows” (Matthew 24:8).

2. The return of Israel is considered especially significant

For many prophecy teachers, the establishment of Israel as a nation in 1948 is one of the most important developments.

They connect this with passages such as Ezekiel 36–37, which describe Israel being gathered back to its land. Jesus also used the fig tree in Matthew 24:32–34 as an illustration that many interpreters associate with Israel.

However, Christians disagree about whether the fig tree specifically represents Israel.

3. Jerusalem and the Middle East remain central

Biblical prophecy repeatedly focuses on Jerusalem, Israel, and surrounding nations.

Passages in Zechariah, Daniel, Ezekiel, Matthew 24, and Revelation describe major events involving Israel and Jerusalem. Because the Middle East continues to experience conflict and geopolitical realignment, many Christians see this region as particularly significant.

4. The world is experiencing enormous technological change

Some Christians believe modern technology makes certain prophetic events conceivable in ways that weren’t possible historically.

For example, Revelation 13 describes the ability to control buying and selling. Modern worldwide financial systems, digital identification, artificial intelligence, surveillance technology, and instantaneous communication cause some people to wonder whether the technological infrastructure necessary for such a system is developing.

The Bible, however, does not explicitly say that modern technology is the fulfillment of these things.

5. Global communication makes worldwide evangelism possible

Jesus said:

“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”

—Matthew 24:14

Today, television, radio, the internet, smartphones, and translation technology allow the gospel to reach people virtually everywhere.

Many Christians therefore see this as an important development.

6. Increasing lawlessness and moral decline

Jesus said:

“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.”

—Matthew 24:12

Paul similarly warned about difficult conditions in the “last days” in 2 Timothy 3:1–5, describing people as lovers of themselves, lovers of money, disobedient, unthankful, and lacking self-control.

Many Christians look at contemporary society and believe these descriptions are becoming increasingly evident.

7. The Bible describes a final global system

Daniel, 2 Thessalonians, and Revelation describe a future period involving:

  • A powerful final ruler commonly called the Antichrist
  • A worldwide system of political and economic control
  • Major wars and judgments
  • Severe persecution
  • A final confrontation involving the nations
  • The return of Jesus Christ

This is why developments involving international alliances, Middle Eastern peace agreements, global economics, and conflicts can attract considerable attention among students of prophecy.

But there is an important biblical qualification

The Bible gives signs, but Jesus specifically warned against assuming that people can calculate the exact date.

Jesus said:

“But of that day and hour knoweth no man.”

—Matthew 24:36

And there is another important point: “the last days” technically began with the coming of Christ, according to the New Testament. Peter, for example, described his own generation as being in the last days (Acts 2:16–17), and Hebrews 1:2 says God has spoken to us “in these last days” through His Son.

So there are really two ways Christians use the expression:

  • Theological sense: the last days began with Jesus’ first coming.
  • Prophetic/end-times sense: Christians use “last days” to describe the period immediately preceding Christ’s Second Coming.

Why people believe now may be especially significant

The argument isn’t normally based on one event. It is the perceived convergence of several things: Israel’s restoration, Middle Eastern developments, global conflict, technological capabilities, worldwide communication, increasing secularism/lawlessness, and the possibility of global political and economic systems described in prophetic passages.
