Prophecy Update News Digest - 5/12/25
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.

Jesus said when you see all these signs happening, know that I am near, even at the door.
