On May 15, 2025, Harbingers Daily posted an article by Dean Dwyer, long-time Pastor and President of Eiser Street Baptist Church in Queensland, Australia.

Here is part of what Dwyer wrote:

>It seems that nearly everywhere you turn, people are talking about peace.

>On every continent and in nearly every country, leaders are holding out hope that somebody will be able to advance the cause of peace throughout the world.  Many are desperate for a resolution to the problems plaguing the world, and we know that desperate and spiritually blind people often lack sufficient discernment to make good decisions.  There is already a Prince of Peace, but since most of the world has rejected Him, a counterfeit will soon arrive.  The world’s longing for peace and safety will play into the hands of the Antichrist, who will convince the world that only he can provide the lasting peace and security that has long been desired.

>Peace is on the lips of many at present, and what is interesting to note is that the UN has scheduled a high-level conference on the Two-State solution to take place from June 2-4, 2025, in New York.  So that nobody is left with any doubts as to the intention of the summit, it is being referred to as the “Peaceful settlement of the question of Palestine and implementation of the Two-State solution.” As this date approaches, expect to hear more and more about “peace.” Whether or not anything tangible will come out of the summit remains to be seen.  But it reminds us that as the world desperately searches for peace, it will soon welcome a person who will ultimately bring it anything but.

Dwyer definitely has a good knowledge of the Scriptures and an understanding of the current political situation.

In the days of the prophet Joel, God warned that He would deal with the nations because they had scattered His people and divided His land (Joel 3:2).

And in the days of the prophet Daniel, God warned that a coming leader (the Antichrist) would confirm (strengthen) a worthless covenant with many for peace in the Middle East (Dan. 9:27).

Starting on May 13, 2025, Pres. Trump:

• Visited the Middle East and discussed peace (normalization agreements) between several Arab nations and Israel.
• Met with the new president of Syria and discussed peace with Israel.
• Met with an official of Iran and discussed an agreement to peacefully settle the controversy over Iran’s quest for nuclear weapons.

Pres. Trump has been clear that he prefers to be a Pres. of peace instead of a Pres. of war.

When asked about the signs of His Second Coming, Jesus said there will be wars and rumors of wars.

There are so many wars and rumors of wars today, the world seems to be desperately searching for peace.

Here is a link to Dwyer’s article:

https://harbingersdaily.com/the-worlds-longing-for-peace-and-safety-will-play-right-into-the-hands-of-the-antichrist/

Here are some articles that seem to indicate that the end of the age is near.

One, concerning peace and Iran: on May 15, 2025, U.S. Sec. of State Marco Rubio said:

>Our problem is not with the Iranian people. The Iranian people are a peaceful people, an ancient civilization and culture we admire greatly.

>Our problem is with a clerical regime that is behind every problem in the region: Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, the militias that have conducted attacks out of Iraq and Syria.”

>All of those terror groups track back to the Iranian regime.

>All the instability in Syria tracks back to the Iranian regime.

>It’s a regime that every day and every Friday chants, ‘death to Israel, death to America.’

>We have to believe them when they say that.

>The Iranian regime must never get nuclear weapons.

>The end decision lies in the hands of one person, and that’s the supreme leader in Iran, and I hope he chooses the path of peace and prosperity, not a destructive path.

>We’ll see how that plays out.

Two, concerning peace and Iran: on May 18, 2025:

Trump’s Special Envoy Steve Witkoff said

• We have one very, very clear red line, and that is enrichment. We cannot allow even 1% of an enrichment capability. Everything begins… with a deal that does not include enrichment… because enrichment enables weaponization. And we will not allow a bomb to get here.
• Iran’s foreign minister responded on X: Enrichment in Iran… will continue with or without a deal. If the US is interested in ensuring that Iran will not have nuclear weapons, a deal is within reach.

Three, concerning peace and Hamas: on May 15, 2025, Pres. Trump said Hamas is going to have to be dealt with (in order to bring peace in Gaza).

Here are some daily updates on the war.

• On May 16, 2025, Israel escalated its airstrikes in the Gaza Strip by attacking more than 150 targets in 24 hours. Netanyahu’s promised ground invasion appeared to be imminent. The U.S. and Qatar were searching for a way to bring about a ceasefire.
• During the late hours of May 16, 2025, Israel said it is working to seize strategic areas of the Gaza Strip in preparation for expanding its military campaign there.
• On May 17, 2025, Hamas said it would return to ceasefire negotiations.
• On May 18, 2025, Israeli Prime Min. Netanyahu confirmed that ceasefire negotiations are underway, and he repeated that Israel is open to ending the fighting if Hamas is disarmed and all the remaining hostages are released.
• On May 19, 2025, it was reported that Israel had struck more than 160 targets in the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours.

(Update: On May 19, 2025, Israel ordered the total evacuation of Khan Younis, a major city in Gaza.)

Four, concerning the Houthis in Yemen: on May 16, 2025, 15 Israeli jets dropped 35 bombs on two Houthi ports, so the Houthis now have no place for large ships to dock.

Five, concerning the Two-State Solution: on May 16, 2025, a reader sent the following to me and said it was from Bubba News Telegram:

• The June 2-4, 2025, UN meeting on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is no longer scheduled.
• It has been rescheduled/replaced by the France and Saudi Arabia-backed conference on a 2-state solution, now set for June 17-20, 2025, at UN headquarters in NYC.
• No evidence currently suggests that a separate meeting is still planned for June 2-4.
• The “High-level International Conference for the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution” is the primary event, co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia, aimed at advancing UN resolutions on the two-state solution.
• It was mandated by a September 2024 General Assembly resolution and is now scheduled for June 17-20, 2025.

(Update: On May 19, 2025, it was reported that Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu called it “a huge prize for terror.”)

(My opinion: The desperate search of unbelieving world leaders for peace and safety is on the verge of a giant step toward the Tribulation Period.)

Five, concerning the Two-State Solution (the division of Israel) and God’s threat to drag the nations into the Battle of Armageddon for that (Joel 3:2): on May 19, 2025, France, Canada, and the UK released a communique that said in part:

• The level of human suffering in Gaza is intolerable. We call on the Israeli government to stop its military operations in Gaza and immediately allow humanitarian aid to enter.
• If Israel does not cease the renewed military offensive and lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take further concrete actions in response.
• pointing to an upcoming international conference co-chaired by Saudi Arabia and France, scheduled to take place next month (June 17-20) in New York.
• We must all work toward the implementation of a two-state solution, which is the only way to bring long-lasting peace and security that both Israelis and Palestinians deserve and ensure long-term stability in the region.

(My opinion: The Two-State Solution will not bring peace and security – peace and safety. It will not stabilize the Middle East. As I said above, it will be a major step toward the beginning of the Tribulation Period, and that is where all of this is heading. The core problem is not Israel defending itself against Hamas. It is radical Muslims trying to conquer the world for Allah.)

Six, concerning peace between Russia and Ukraine: on May 19, 2025, Pres. Trump said he had a two-hour conversation with Russian Pres. Putin.

Trump added that Russia and Ukraine will immediately start negotiations toward a ceasefire and, more importantly, an end to the war.

According to Trump, the Vatican is interested in hosting the negotiations.

(My comment: Be aware that God said He would put hooks in Gog’s jaw, turn him back and drag him and his allies – Iran, etc. – onto the mountains of Israel in the latter days and latter years; Ezek. 38:4. We don’t know that this is it, but it bears watching).

Seven, concerning natural disasters increasing in frequency and intensity at the end of the age: on May 17, 2025, it was reported that a massive dust storm struck Chicago’s 2.6 million people that was so big and bad, it could be seen from space.

The National Weather Service issued a dust storm warning for only the second time in history, and a Chicago meteorologist said this was the first dust storm to ever hit Chicago.

Visibility was near zero, wind gusts were up to 60 mph, and after many accidents, people were told not to travel unless it was absolutely necessary.

Eight, concerning the moral decline of America at the end of the age, here is a link to an excellent three-minute video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTB4aTGaG_M&t=15s

Nine, concerning the long-awaited battle of Gog and Magog, on May 21, 2025, Iran’s parliament ratified a new agreement with Russia.

It reportedly stops short of a mutual defense clause, but it commits both nations to respond to common military threats, advance military-technical collaboration, and engage in joint military exercises.

FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).

Finally, are you Rapture Ready?

If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.

Soon I will be writing about The Muslim Brotherhood and their ties to many Arabic countries, but especially to Qatar.  President Trump promised to ‘outlaw’ the Muslim Brotherhood at the beginning of his first term. He said that the MB would not even be allowed to step foot in our country. That never happened……….

___________________________________________

From 2015

The world is watching in horror as millions of Muslims are being systematically transported to any country which will open their borders. There are unspeakable atrocities happening every day in these countries. We read of people warning the world: “Do NOT let these people into your country!” There are rapes and killings happening all over Europe.

These people are being called  “refugees” from Syria. Isn’t it odd to note that all photos taken of them consist of only young able bodied men. If they are truly refugees, where are the women and children?  

America – we are not immune to the horrors we are witnessing happening in Europe! Soon, thousands, perhaps millions of these people will be coming to our country.  It will be a tragedy for America. Our president is 100% on board with this “forced migration.”  It is part of the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN.

See this article which I wrote recently about the UN initiatives:

THE AGENDA OF ANTICHRIST SYSTEM WILL BE REVEALED AT THE U.N. IN SEPTEMBER – The Sustainable Development Goals with Commentary

FORCED MIGRATION IS ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION ON STEROIDS

What is happening  today, because of the United Nations agenda, is nothing more than countries being held hostage and exposed to the rest of the world as not compassionate, if they close their borders to these so-called refugees.

Here is an article which MUST be read about George Soros and his newest group called ” Evangelical Immigration Table.”

An Evangelical View of Immigration

We hear so much about all of those moderate Muslims out there. Why aren’t they speaking against the jihadists? Certainly they don’t agree with the mass beheadings and terror, right?

For many, this article will be eye-opening to say the least. We have all heard of Christians in name only. Moderate Muslims are Muslims in name only, and they are hated by those who are true to the Qur’an and to their prophet, Muhammad.

Islam is a totalitarian political system, cloaked in robes of religion to present itself as honorable to an unsuspecting world. We have heard imans (Muslim clerics) who describe Islam as: “The Religion of Peace.” Islam is in truth a demonically influenced regime of warlords, whose goal is world dominance.

The word Islam means submission. In this article I will take passages straight from the Qur’an which clearly show that Islam has nothing to do with peace. It has everything to do with beheading, raping, pillaging, and dominating the entire world. To those who practice Islam and are jihadists (the Qur’an commands this) their god Allah promises great rewards awaiting those who give their lives while fighting infidels.

Who are the infidels? This term means anyone who does not believe the words of their prophet, Muhammad. In fact, the Muslims in name only are hated by the Muslims who are obedient to the words in the Qur’an. Are you beginning to understand why the so-called moderate Muslims do not speak out against the terror? They are fearful for their own lives!

Here is an example of a command from their false god:

Quran (2:191-193) – “And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief] is worse than killing…but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah [disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah] and worship is for Allah alone. But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun [the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.].”

Muslim jihadists must obey the words of their book. They fear for their own lives if they do not live as terrorists, because Allah has told them in their book that they should be killed for not obeying. In fact, doubting Allah in the mind of a Muslim is terrible thing. We wonder how they can be so brutal and merciless. It’s because they must show their god that they believe him, and that they will bring terror against all infidels and slay them if they do not convert to Islam.

Quran (2:216) – “Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not.” (Here we see Allah proclaiming to his subjects that violence is virtuous. It even states that some may find it repulsive, but they must know that their god knows what is good for them.)

I believe that Allah is actually Satan. He fights primarily against Jews and Christians. He commands submission from his followers. Jesus is spoken of in the Qur’an, but it’s not the Jesus we know from the Word of God. Jesus – called Isa, is merely a prophet. It is emphasized that He is not the Son of God. On the roof of the mosque on the Temple Mount are inscribed these Arabic words: “God has No son.” That sounds demonic to me.

Quran (3:56) – “As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help.”

Quran (3:151) – “Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority”. (This speaks of Christians, who say that “God has a Son” is joining companions with Allah).

Quran (4:74) – “Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward.” (Unlike early Christian who were led meekly to their slaughter, Muslims are killed in battle for the cause of Allah. This is the basis for today’s suicide bombers.)

Quran (4:95) – “Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith) Hath Allah promised good: But those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward.” (Here we see Allah stressing that the jihadists will be rewarded, but not those who do not fight for the cause.)

Quran (8:12) – “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them” These words are clear, and commentary here would be redundant. “

Quran (8:57) – “If thou comest on them in the war, deal with them so as to strike fear in those who are behind them, that haply they may remember.” I am reminded of the videos with beheadings that are posted for all to see. They love to put fear in the hearts of all infidels. “

Quran (9:5) – “So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them.” (Clearly, these words show that the only way to escape death is to convert to Islam.)

Quran (9:29) – “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” (People of the Book refers to Christians and Jews.)

Now you have seen a sampling from the Qur’an of the terror that is commanded by its words. Religion of Peace? Hardly – more like the Third Reich, meeting in mosques worldwide, and planning the demise of all who will not convert.

So why do we not hear what the Qur’an really says on the news? Why do politicians avoid what is stated in black and white on the pages of this terrifying book? I can only guess that some refuse to believe that a religion could actually be so violent as the jihadists are. They have their heads in the sand, believing that the ones beheading and raping must be a radical faction of the religion of peace. Perhaps others are just plain scared.

Here is a paragraph of President George W. Bush’s commencement address to the Air Force Academy, on 3 June 2004, illustrating the problem:

History is once again witnessing a great clash. This is not a clash of civilizations. The civilization of Islam, with its humane traditions of learning and tolerance, has no place for this violent sect of killers and aspiring tyrants. This is not a clash of religions. The faith of Islam teaches moral responsibility that ennobles men and women, and forbids the shedding of innocent blood. Instead, this is a clash of political visions.

This is another reason that I believe that Allah and Satan are one and the same. The deception is so blatant and so complete—only the enemy of God could pull this off. Some believe that Islam is in fact demonically influenced, but that Allah is not Satan. Be assured –  I am not saying that the Antichrist will be Islam. I believe that Satan manifests himself in many ways.

Now when you are watching the news and you hear someone speaking about the “radical jihadist” faction of Islam, you will know the truth.

I doubt that you will ever hear the phrase “Religion of Peace” ascribed to Islam, and not think back on the passages you’ve read here from the Qur’an.

As Christians, we know that God is in control. The horrific things happening in this world are obviously part of His plan. We MUST trust Him.

Cling to Him, brethren. I pray, along with you, that our Lord Jesus will soon come to take us away from this wicked place!

HOW CAN I BE SAVED?

MARANATHA!
