It begins and ends with…

Prophecy begins and ends not with news reports, crazy videos, turn with me to Luke 17. Luke records in v11, that Jesus while travelling through Samaria, met 10 men with leprosy approached at a distance, begged Him for Mercy. He told them go show themselves to the priests, and as they obeyed, they were healed! Only one came back to thank Him. Only the Samaritan glorified God. Your faith made you well (faith brings us to who?)
Some teachers who are really good regarding end-times (eschatology study of end things) some just try to increase paranoia even stirring up fear in believers to encourage action. Sometimes even spouting conspiracy theories instead of know facts and confirming by the texts, things that are going on.
Luke 17:20–21  “ Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; 21 nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.””
Within you doesn't mean in you (internally) but in the midst of by the presence of Jesus. Not an esoteric indwelling.
They were looking for a ruler a king a jewish caesar. Not a suffering messiah. Had the leaders confessed Jesus, it would’ve truly become. But they didn’t.
Luke 17:22–24  “ Then He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 And they will say to you, ‘Look here!’ or ‘Look there!’ Do not go after them or follow them. 24 For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day.
We know His return is still not yet, praise the Lord for our sake eh? he assured the disciples, wasn’t gonna happen their lifetime.
Lightning strikes stand out and are obvious, when the second coming happens, no denying.
Luke 17:25  “ But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.” for you and I
Luke 17:26–30  “ And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
We’ll see here in a moment, the lasting affects of this and what it means. But here he gives two examples of incredible immorality.
28 Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; 29 but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.”
The Lgbtq ideology prevalent not just in our culture but worldwide, shows a flood and perversion of what God requires and calls for. When you identify your existence by who you sleep with, you’re in trouble. The scope of it calls for destruction.
In Light of this text and the mirror of it in Matthew, lets see whats happening on the

World Stage

I was blown away by the latest Olive Tree article, can I read some headlines to you? (Read from Email if Can) now, I’m absolutely stealing from them, even using their punchlist. Because its great.
1) Europe is looking for an Antichrist figureProphecy News Watch reports a disturbing willingness among citizens to embrace strong, decisive leadership that could bypass democratic processes if it promises stability and results. One in five Europeans say they would prefer a dictatorship in certain circumstances, and a quarter admit they would not mind if a capable leader limited democratic rights and acted without accountability—provided he was effective.
Europe is imploding. It has unchecked immigration from Muslim nations and many European nations are in serious decline, lacking sound leadership. There is this longing for a man with a plan.
2) Intensifying Lawlessness is everywhere. In Minnesota, not one elected official who participated in the Somali fraud of billions of dollars has been removed from office or arrested. The Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, in part responsible for the mayhem, just made Time Magazine’s top 100 influential people. Thanks for rewarding incompetence!
ICE has been demonized repeatedly and particularly in Minneapolis. They have been arresting illegal aliens convicted of murder, domestic abuse, sexual assault, and more. In Minnesota alone, nearly 500 illegal aliens have been released back into the community because state and local officials refuse to cooperate with federal law enforcement.
3) Canada is poised to criminalize Christianity with a ban on citing biblical truths, reports The Federalist. Let that sink in. Crazed zealots in the leftist elite have turned Canadian Christians into scapegoats. They are considered deplorable’s. 
As The Federalist states, “Once this brand of leftism comes to rule a country, as it has in Canada and Western Europe, civilizational ruin is sure to follow.” Added to this outrage, Canada is offering to euthanize seniors even teens who just cant take it any more. Some have mentioned grade school kids. Canada’s free healthcare offers the  director of Dying to Meet You to the elderly who may be struggling. Surely love has grown cold (Matt. 24:12).
4)  The ultimate in calling evil good just transpired when the United Nations handed Iran a seat at the Women’s Rights Table. Iran—the regime whose morality police beat a 22-year-old woman named Mahsa Amini to death for a loose headscarf—has just been elevated to a role within a key United Nations body shaping global policy on women's rights, disarmament, and terrorism prevention. This is last days’ lunacy and strong delusion (II Thess. 2:11) and it abounds everywhere.
5) Prophecy News Watch asks if we are building a prototype of “the image that speaks” from Revelation. They report that Meta's reported development of an AI version of its founder, Mark Zuckerberg, has reignited an unusual but increasingly persistent conversation at the intersection of technology, identity, and ancient prophecy.
The company is building a photorealistic, interactive digital version of Zuckerberg, capable of engaging employees in real time, trained on his voice, mannerisms, and strategic thinking. What might sound like corporate innovation to some is, to others, a striking echo of imagery found in the Book of Revelation.
6) A Pew survey says 60% of Americans have an unfavorable view of Israel. Antipathy toward Israel was more pronounced among younger people. Broken down by age groups, 70% of those aged 18-49, including 57% of Republicans in that age bracket, have an unfavorable view. The Democrat Party is down to one supporter: Sen. John Fetterman. Since the slaughter of Jews October 7, 2023, the world has cheered for Hamas and found Israel deplorable.This is Tribulation-esque. Zechariah 12:3 says Israel will become the world’s burdensome stone.
7) A prophetic storm is brewing due to the war with Iran, and we’re all pondering Gog-Magog, the war outlined in Ezekiel 38. One of those participants—Turkey—is making noises, threatening to invade Israel now. Can you imagine a member of NATO making such threats. The passage says Russian invaders will be on horseback. Forbes’ saysRussian forces are now attacking Ukraine on horseback. Is this a foreshadowing? 
8) The American-born Pope is stirring the pot wherever he goes as he paves the way for a global religion. While lambasting America over the Iran war during the Easter weekend, the Pope said nothing about the Islamist bloodbath in Nigeria at precisely that time, when dozens of Christians were gunned down. 
He said that people should be "a little less fearful" of Islam, and that "Islam is a religion of peace we can learn from." Like the King of England who celebrated Ramadan and ignored Easter, the Pope is equally confused when it comes to Islam.
9) Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) has teased about alien life among us that has made contact with humans. UFOs and UAPs are making headlines. They will do so even more once the church is gone in the rapture and UFOs/aliens are blamed as the reason for our disappearance! Burchett warned that releasing secret alien information would devastate public confidence.
He claimed America would come unglued if citizens learned what government agencies have discovered. The House Task Force member said he was briefed two weeks ago on extraterrestrial matters that would have been catastrophic if released. Discussions around UFOs, UAPs, and extraterrestrial life are no longer confined to fringe communities. They have entered the mainstream conversation at the highest levels. 
More and more people are acknowledging their origins are demonic. Even the demons know the hour is late. So lets look at these days of Noah for just a moment. One of the most fascinating things about these supposed aliens coming to earth is the amount of physical and sexual abuse they commit.
The days of Noah remind me of the Sons of God taking human wives.
Genesis 6:1–8 “ Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. 3 And the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” 4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. 5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. 7 So the Lord said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.”

10) In the spring of 2026, we were again reminded of serious economic instability that will eventually require a “Mr. Fix-It” to remedy. Oil prices have surged. Supply chains have been disrupted. Markets have reacted with volatility. The war with Iran has already been described as causing the largest energy supply disruption since the 1970s crisis. When a single region can destabilize the global economy, it exposes just how fragile the system truly is. A one-world system with a leader who can conquer such problems is being longed for.
Here is the promise: Luke 17:31–33  “ “In that day, he who is on the housetop, and his goods are in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is in the field, let him not turn back. 32 Remember Lot’s wife. 33 Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.”
