God Is Revealing Himself :: By Daymond Duck
When the disciples asked Jesus about the signs of His coming, He said, “Behold the Fig Tree [Israel] and all the trees [all the nations]” (Luke 11:29).
Watch the nation of Israel and all the nations (watch Israel, the UN, the EU, Russia, Iran, Turkey, etc.).
Compare what is happening to what the Bible says.
The Apostle Paul asked a question, “Hath God cast away his people?”
His answer, “God has not cast away his people which he foreknew” (Rom. 11:1-2).
The Bible clearly teaches:
- That God would scatter the Jews all over the world.
- That God would cause the Jews to return at the end of the age.
- That God would reestablish Israel step-by-step as a great nation in one generation (the villages would be rebuilt, the forests would be re-established, the wildlife would return, etc.).
- That Jerusalem would be rebuilt and become a problem for all nations.
- That Israel will be surrounded by enemies.
- That Israel would become a great army that could not be destroyed.
- That Israel would not have peace until it has gone through the Tribulation Period.
- That all Israel would not get saved until the end of the Tribulation Period.
Jesus told everyone to watch for these things, and they are happening.
This is evidence of His existence and the truth of His Word.
He is revealing himself to the world and confirming the accuracy of the Bible.
I believe it also means that the bride (Church) will meet the Bridegroom (Jesus) soon.
Here are more reasons to believe this.
One, concerning Iran: earlier this month (on Mar. 19, 2025), it was reported that Pres. Trump sent a letter to Ayatollah Khamenei urging him to resume negotiations over Iran’s effort to build nuclear weapons, and Trump gave Iran two months to reach an agreement.
On Mar. 26, 2025, it was reported that the U.S. is strengthening its forces in the Middle East.
According to the report:
- Trump ordered an aircraft carrier to join one that is already there.
- Trump had four B-2 stealth bombers deployed at Diego Garcia air base where they can reach Iran.
- Trump dispatched at least five B-2 bombers to join the first four, and there is speculation that he has more on the way.
- Trump deployed three C-17 cargo planes and 11 KC-135 refueling tankers to Diego Garcia.
Trump’s preparations are a message to Iran: Come to the negotiating table before your two months are up, or we will attack.
(More: On Mar. 28, 2025, Iran’s parliament speaker said, “If the Americans attack the sanctity of Iran, the entire region will blow up like a spark in an ammunition dump. Their bases – in the Middle East – and those of their allies will not be safe.”)
(My opinion: I don’t know what Trump will do if Iran doesn’t negotiate, and I don’t think Iran will negotiate, but Trump usually follows through on his threats.)
(More: On Mar. 30, 2025, on NBC News, Trump said if they – the Iranians – don’t make a deal, there will be bombing.)
FYI: On Mar. 31, 2025, Worthy News Correspondent, Emmitt Barry, gave this excellent explanation of what is behind Iran’s effort to conquer the world:
- While the West often views Iran’s nuclear program through a secular lens, the spiritual aspect, which plays a central role in driving Iran’s nuclear ambitions, should not be overlooked. Iran is the only country where Twelver Shi’ism is the state religion.
- Twelver Shīʿism, the largest branch of Shīʿa Islam, makes up about 85% of Shīʿas. “Twelver” signifies belief in twelve divinely appointed leaders, the Twelve Imams, with the last, Imam al-Mahdi, expected to return as the Mahdi. Twelvers see the Imams as Muhammad’s spiritual and political successors, guiding with justice and interpreting Islamic law and the Qur’an’s inner meanings. They are viewed as infallible (Ismah) and divinely chosen (nass).
- The Twelvers believe that the Mahdi is expected to appear in times of extreme chaos, returning alongside Jesus as a messiah to bring peace and establish Islam globally.

(My comment: Most Arabs reject Iran’s beliefs – they are Sunni Muslims, not Shiite Muslims – and Iran’s view of Jesus is not Biblical. Sunni Muslims believe Shiite Muslims are pagan, and Shiite Muslims believe Sunni Muslims are pagan. They believe the one that is right will prevail at the end of the age. This is a big reason why the Arabs do not want Iran to get nuclear weapons.)
(My comment: Some prophecy teachers, including myself, believe a U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities could lead to Iran and perhaps others responding by attacking Israel. This could lead to the latter years and latter days Battle of Gog of Magog.)
Two, concerning Turkey joining Russia, Iran, and others in the Gog of Magog attack on Israel in the latter days and latter years: on Mar. 30, 2025, Turkey’s Prime Min. Erdogan called for the destruction of Israel at a Ramadan service.
In an interview following the service, Erdogan said, “May Allah destroy and devastate Zionist Israel.”
Three, concerning Turkey joining Russia, Iran, and others in the Gog of Magog attack on Israel in the latter days and latter years: Gog’s forces will approach Israel from the north like a cloud (perhaps with lots of airpower; Syria; Ezek. 38:9).
On Apr. 1, 2025, Turkey and Syria signed an agreement for Turkey to take over an airbase in Syria and provide air cover and military protection for Syria’s new government.
Four, concerning Turkey joining Russia, Iran, and others in the Gog of Magog attack on Israel in the latter days and latter years: on Apr. 1, 2025, Israel assassinated a terrorist with ties to Iran and Hezbollah that helped Hamas in Lebanon fire rockets at Israel four days earlier.
Five, concerning an increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters at the end of the age: on Mar. 28, 2025, a 7.7 earthquake (and a 6.4 aftershock) struck Myanmar (also called Burma) and Thailand.
The full extent of death, injury, and damage was not immediately known, but it will be great.
(Update: On Mar. 29, 2025, it was reported that the confirmed death toll has reached more than 150, more than 750 are wounded, about 100 are missing in Myanmar, and experts say the death toll in the region could top 1,000.)
(Update: On Mar. 30, 2025, more than 1,600 confirmed dead in Myanmar and 18 in Thailand.)
Six, concerning Israel expanding its borders at the end of the age: on Mar. 26, 2025, Israel’s Cabinet Secretary said the security zones in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria are permanent zones.
Concerning Gaza, Israel’s Defense Min. said because Hamas is refusing to release the hostages, more and more of Gaza will be integrated into Israel’s defense formation, and this has already been approved by the Israeli government.
Concerning Lebanon, he said the Israeli military will remain at five outposts in Lebanon to protect Israeli citizens in northern Israel regardless of any disputed negotiations over the Israeli-Lebanon border.
Concerning Syria, he said Israeli forces are on Mt. Hermon to protect the citizens on the Golan Heights, to protect Israel’s border with Syria, and to keep an eye on the new Syrian government.
(My Opinion: Muslims believe that once they have occupied territory and lose control of it, they must retake it or they are an insult to Allah. Israel’s decision to keep the security zones – expanded borders – will not sit well with Islam.)
Seven, concerning the Israel-Hamas war: on Mar. 31, 2025, Israel ordered the evacuation of most of Rafah in advance of a large-scale attack on Hamas forces in the city.
Eight, concerning Israel being a great army at the end of the age: on Mar. 31, 2025, it was reported that recent U.S. attacks on Houthi terrorist forces in Yemen have caused a significant reduction in their missile-launch capabilities.
(More: Following a series of U.S. attacks on Houthi terrorist forces in Yemen, on Mar. 31, 2025, Trump said the U.S. will not stop attacking the Houthis until the Houthis stop attacking U.S. naval vessels.)
Nine, concerning corruption, deceit, wickedness, and a borderless world at the end of the age: on Mar. 30, 2025, Elon Musk said:
- We (DOGE) found 20 million dead people marked as alive in the Social Security system.
- The Biden administration wasn’t asleep at the switch.
- It was a large-scale effort to import as many illegals as possible, ultimately to reshape the U.S. voting system and establish a permanent one-party state.
(More: On Apr. 1, 2025, it was reported that a DOGE team member said Social Security numbers were given to more than 3.9 million non-citizens in 2021-2024, and at least 1.3 million non-citizens were enrolled in Medicaid.)
(More: Trump has moved to stop non-citizens from voting in federal elections, but on Apr. 2, 2025, it was reported that the Democrat Party’s Senate Minority Leader, Chuck Schumer, and House Minority Leader, Hakeem Jeffries, filed a lawsuit to allow illegal aliens to vote in US elections. Giving millions of illegal aliens Social Security numbers, putting them on Medicaid, and allowing them to vote would impact the election in battleground states and, in essence, allow non-citizens to decide who would be president of the U.S. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court in Washington, DC, which seems to lean toward Democrats.)
Ten, concerning Jerusalem being a cup of trembling for the whole world at the end of the age: despite illegal arrest warrants issued by a seemingly corrupt International Criminal Court (ICC) for the arrest of Prime Min. Netanyahu, he will be in Hungary on Apr. 3, 2025, where Hungary is expected to announce that it is moving its embassy to Jerusalem and withdrawing from the ICC.
Hungary will be the first country in the EU and the seventh country in the world to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Eleven, concerning the expansion of Israel’s borders at the end of the age: on Apr. 2, 2025, Israeli Prime Min. Netanyahu announced that Israel has seized the Morag Corridor in Gaza because Hamas is refusing to release more hostages.
This will divide the Gaza Strip and cut off Rafah from Gaza City, two large cities in Gaza.
Netanyahu said Israel will continue to seize more territory if Hamas continues to refuse to release hostages.
Twelve, concerning corruption in the FBI and deceit by 51 former government intel officials and Pres. Biden: recently released documents verify that the FBI knew that the Hunter Biden Laptop story was true (not Russian disinformation), but the FBI warned people not to report the story and covered it up to protect the Biden administration.
Pres. Biden lied about the story and ultimately pardoned Hunter and others.
Trump canceled the security clearances of the 51 former government officials.
Thirteen, concerning an increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters at the end of the age: the U.S. is currently going through several days of powerful storms, unusually heavy rain, and possibly historic flooding.
Fourteen, concerning hatred for Israel and corruption in the UN (wannabe world government), on Apr. 2, 2025, it was reported that the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) has scheduled a vote for this week to begin an open-ended investigation of Israel (but no investigations of any other nation on earth).
Two U.S. Senators have sent a letter to UN Sec. Gen. Guterres with a warning that the UN should stop its one-sided targeting of Israel.
(My opinion: As far as I know, Israel is the only nation that the Bible says will be hated at the end of the age. God is revealing himself to the world and confirming the accuracy of the Bible.)
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.
