The hour moves like a storm front—fast, low, lightning everywhere. You can feel it in the bones of the world. The prophets called them birth pangs (Isaiah 26:17-18); Jesus named them with calm severity: wars and rumors of war, pestilence, famine, la...

We live in a world where a single data center in Virginia can cause millions of people to stare helplessly at silent screens. On 20 October 2025, a fault in Amazon Web Services (AWS) briefly knocked banking apps, social media platforms and even gove...

In an earlier watchman’s note we surveyed older religious movements—among them the Seventh-day Adventists, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints —whose founders were variously linked, by history or allegation, to s...

Beloved, hear this without varnish: spirits ride the rails of what we watch. YouTube, TikTok, reels, livestreams—these are not neutral rivers. They are liturgies shaping hunger, bending attention, and training desire. Long hours on phones and laptop...

Scripture offers abundant evidence of God's pattern of preserving His faithful during times of judgment. To those skeptical about the rapture in the Bible, consider the consistent typologies throughout Scripture that demonstrate how God protect...

The book of Ruth is a short narrative tucked between Judges and Samuel. Its simplicity hides a profound pattern. Read carefully, Ruth discloses the gospel through the logic of covenant, sketches the church’s calling through typology, and gestures to...

Pilgrims of the Kingdom, the heavens are aflame. On the nights of September 7th and 8th, 2025, the moon turned blood-red, fading from silver to burning crimson. For 82 minutes, the sky became a cosmic pulpit. Billions gazed upward, yet how few disce...

Few sayings of Jesus are quoted more—and misunderstood more—than “no one knows the day or the hour” (Matthew 24:36). Some take it as permission to stop watching. Others wield it to dismiss any discussion of the Lord’s return as speculation. Yet Jesu...

I write this as a watchman who has also been complicit: thumb scrolling when I should be praying, chasing notifications when I should be listening. The problem before us is not merely technology, but worship. In our age the altar has become a glossy...

A sober word after May 2025 You know the backdrop. Many of you walked with me through Bailey’s 2025 timeline (see overview), the idea of a centennial assembly (see explainer), and the biblical warnings that make such claims spiritually consequential...

Something unusual is unfolding in Rome. During the 2025 Catholic Jubilee, a coalition of groups associated with LGBTQ advocacy has organized a pilgrimage that appears on the Vatican’s official Jubilee calendar, culminating in prayer events, a Mass a...

Summary: The week grew heavier. Gaza wept. The north shifted. Persia returned to the docket. Yemen’s horizon burned. These are not the end, and they are not nothing. We read with the Bible open, the heart soft, and the news held at arm’s length. Thi...
