THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: An Eerie Calm Settles In Over The End Times Timeline
NTEB BIBLE RADIO: Rightly DividingShow Notes
There is something almost surreal taking place in the world this morning. After months of relentless warfare in the Middle East, economic upheaval, political chaos and increasingly frightening international headlines, we appear to have entered what can best be described as the eye of the hurricane. The end times hurricane. We have reached that strange, deceptive moment when the winds temporarily subside, the skies seem to clear, and everything becomes eerily quiet. But anyone who has ever lived through a major hurricane, and here in Florida we’ve lived through a bunch of them, knows that the eye is not the end of the storm. It is the brief interval between the devastation you have already experienced and the devastation that’s still coming. The most dangerous thing you can do while standing in the eye of a hurricane is convince yourself that the storm is over. I’m here to tell you it’s not, not by a long shot.
“Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.” Jeremiah 25:32 (KJB)
Meanwhile, the political storm gathering over Washington is becoming impossible to ignore. This morning, the Drudge Report is leading with an extraordinary headline, “SOS MAGA — FINAL DAYS OF TRUMP PARTY,” accompanied by a photograph of a slumbering President Donald Trump sitting with his eyes closed while Vice President JD Vance stands askance behind him. The headline perfectly captures the political anxiety surrounding the November 3 midterm elections. Recent national polling shows Trump’s approval ratings dropping like a rock, with the cost of living, inflation and the economy remaining major concerns for American voters. At the same time, the war with Iran has become inseparable from the political calendar. American and Israeli military planners have reportedly developed options for renewed strikes after the elections, while the White House insists there will be no American attacks before voters go to the polls. What an extraordinary situation! The timing of a potential new military offensive is being discussed in the same breath as an American election, while the American people struggle with the economic consequences of a war that remains dangerously unresolved.
And while the politicians count votes, the world continues counting the cost. Oil prices are climbing toward their Iran-war highs, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains dangerous, and Tehran is openly threatening retaliation against Gulf energy facilities, airports, undersea communications cables and artificial intelligence infrastructure if another American-Israeli attack takes place. Israel is preparing expanded military operations in the West Bank, even as its own election approaches. Wall Street is wrestling with market volatility and growing concerns over the enormous amounts of money pouring into artificial intelligence. Cybersecurity researchers are warning about serious vulnerabilities threatening websites and computer systems around the world. These are not isolated headlines. They are interconnected fault lines running through a global system that has become increasingly dependent on uninterrupted energy supplies, digital infrastructure, international commerce and political stability. One major disruption in the wrong place could send shock waves across several of these systems at once.
But here is what I find most fascinating about this particular moment in time: everything seems to be waiting for something else. Washington is waiting for November 3. Israel is preparing for their October 27th elections and whatever comes next with Iran. Tehran is calculating how much economic pressure it can exert before the American elections. Financial markets are watching energy prices, interest rates and the rapidly expanding artificial intelligence industry. And millions of ordinary people like me and you are simply trying to make ends meet while wondering what fresh crisis

Something very strange is happening on the campaign trail as President Donald Trump crisscrosses America desperately trying to rescue Republican control of Congress in the upcoming midterm elections. With his approval ratings collapsing, the Iran war dragging on, and the American people increasingly frustrated by an economy that looks nothing like the promised Golden Age, the president has suddenly become fascinated with describing other men’s bodies, particularly Senator Jon Husted’s muscular backside, shoulders, legs and feet. Then there’s his continuing celebration of the Village People’s “Y.M.C.A.,” which he calls the “gay national anthem,” while telling audiences how much Melania hates watching him dance to it. But what if these increasingly bizarre performances are not simply Trump losing control of the narrative? What if they are helping him deliberately change it? Former Trump strategist Steve Bannon famously described a political technique called “flood the zone,” overwhelming the news media with a nonstop barrage of distractions and controversies until the important stories get buried beneath the spectacle. Pay no attention to that man behind the golden curtain.
The world is becoming accustomed to things that should be shaking it wide awake. Israel has raised its military readiness as violence continues in Gaza and the West Bank, while the confrontation with Hezbollah remains unresolved beneath Lebanon’s fragile ceasefire. Saudi Arabia is struggling to defend its airports and infrastructure against Houthi missiles and drones. Today, a Houthi missile attack reportedly killed at least 20 government troops in Yemen. Meanwhile, the confrontation in the Strait of Hormuz continues threatening the movement of oil through one of the world’s most important shipping routes. These conflicts reach far beyond the people directly under fire: disrupted supplies and higher prices carry their consequences into households thousands of miles away.

Watching Tesla’s new Roadster climb a ramp upside down, rotate in midair and land on its wheels feels like watching science fiction step off the movie screen. The demonstration is astonishing, and when you place it alongside AI’s growing ability to interpret information, plan tasks and operate machinery, the implications reach far beyond a new sports car. We are watching technologies converge that could reshape how people work, travel, communicate and make decisions. This is a vivid illustration of a world experiencing an extraordinary increase in knowledge. “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” Yet increased knowledge brings an ancient question roaring back into view: what happens when mankind’s growing abilities only serve its pride, and not the God that gave those talents? At Babel, human ingenuity became an instrument of collective self-exaltation to the point where the LORD stepped in to stop it. In the time that’s coming, He’s gonna just let it go and play out for 7 glorious, terrible years.
So much for the obliteration of Iran! For months, President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have been assuring the American people that Iran’s nuclear program was obliterated, its missile manufacturing capabilities destroyed, and its military machine crushed beneath the overwhelming firepower of the United States and Israel. Victory was declared, the speeches were made, and the White House celebrated what it portrayed as one of the greatest military achievements in modern history. But now comes a bombshell report from the Jerusalem Post revealing that Iran is not only rebuilding its ballistic missile and drone arsenals, it is actively fortifying its nuclear installations and preparing for the next war with America and Israel!
