Prophecy Update News Digest - 4/17/25
News & Information for the End Times - Stay Informed - Don't Be Left Behind!
Just as the Bible predicted 1,000’s of years in advance, that as the end nears, all eyes would be on Israel and the Middle East! All the signs of the last days are converging at the same time. Bible Prophecy is happening right before our eyes and like birth pains, the predicted events are happening more frequently and more intensely. Never, in the history throughout the world have so many forces, including economic, scientific, techno-logic, ecologic, cultural, geopolitical, moral, spiritual and religion, converged together to bring this world that's already teetering over the edge into the abyss, to a point of no return. Jesus said when you see all these signs happening, know that I am near, even at the door.
