• 7) Beasts, Portals, And Prophecy

  Send us a textFire from heaven, a beast that speaks, and a mark that moves markets—Revelation reads like science fiction until it doesn’t. We connect the ancient text to startling modern claims: a hovering orange orb unearthed in Arizona, alleged portal tech in a Salt Lake City lab, and a Cheyenne Mountain meeting where disclosure and deception collide. Whether you treat these reports as credible, questionable, or somewhere in between, they sharpen a timeless challenge: when spectacle surges, how do we keep our faith steady?We walk through the scriptural backbone first. Revelation 13 outlines a second beast that dazzles the world, while Revelation 11 shows two witnesses holding Jerusalem for 1,260 days before a terrifying opponent finally overcomes them. Then Revelation 19 flips the script as the Rider on the white horse ends the charade. Alongside that arc, we share Joseph Smith’s striking commentary that John saw real beings—not mere symbols—capable of impacting the earth. For listeners new to Latter‑day Saint thought, we unpack why the LDS canon—Moses, Abraham, and the Doctrine and Covenants—assumes “worlds without number,” providing a framework for non‑human intelligences without discarding the core confession that Jesus Christ is Lord of all creation.From there, we test modern noise: testimonies about non‑human entities, Skinwalker Ranch oddities, and rumors of weaponized “end‑time theater.” The point is not to baptize every story, but to cultivate discernment. Spectacle is a poor proxy for truth. Fidelity to Christ, the witness of the Holy Ghost, and the fruits of charity remain the gold standard. As darkness flexes, grace scales; scripture promises not only pressure, but deliverance and restoration on a scale that silences kings.If this conversation stretched your thinking, follow and share the show to keep it moving.

• 6) Antichrist Rising

  Send us a textA financial reset won’t be the strangest shock of our time. We trace how cascading debt, a potential BRICS metal settlement system, and the fragility of paper precious metals could set the stage for something far more disruptive: a persuasive figure who arrives with power, spectacle, and answers the world has been begging for. Matthew 24, Daniel, Revelation, and 2 Thessalonians sketch a profile that’s uncomfortably relevant—someone who speaks “great things,” changes “times and laws,” and wins over nearly everyone by offering visible proof when trust is exhausted.We connect the dots across key passages: Daniel’s king of fierce countenance who prospers by power (not his own), Revelation’s forty-two months of global sway, and Paul’s foretold “strong delusion” that sifts hearts and minds. Along the way, we explore the enigmatic “ships of Chittim”—a surprising counterforce that interrupts the counterfeit’s advance—and Isaiah’s promise that the yoke breaks because of the anointing. The thread throughout is practical and urgent: if spectacle is the bait, intimacy with truth is the defense. Discernment won’t be won by louder voices but by practiced attention to the still small voice.We also examine the iron-and-clay fragility of modern alliances, why a crisis of confidence makes miracle claims feel credible, and how a community grounded by covenants can endure when little else can. Expect a clear, candid walk through prophecy, geopolitics, and spiritual resilience—without hype, but with a deep respect for what the texts actually say and how today’s headlines might prime the world to listen to the wrong shepherd.If this resonates, share it with someone who loves both scripture and current events.

• 5) The Fall Of the Whore of Babylon and the rise of the Beast

  Send us a textA midnight in Portugal, a blinding outline of the Lady of Guadalupe, and a single chilling sentence: leave my message alone. That shock becomes our launch point into Scripture, symbolism, and the headlines most of us skim past—linking Revelation’s beasts and Babylon to the modern architecture of money, sanctions, and the fragile plumbing of precious metals.We start with the “Queen of Heaven” theme in Revelation 17, unpacking how the Whore of Babylon operates in mystery and influence. From there, we connect Revelation 13 and Daniel 7: a composite empire, a head that survives a mortal wound, and a blaspheming mouth that rules for forty-two months. We revisit the early church power struggle—Nicolaitans, Nicaea, and the fusion of creed with crown—to show how institutions die and revive under new forms. With that pattern in mind, we test a live hypothesis: a once-wounded power reemerges through alliance. Could Russia’s post‑Soviet collapse fit the deadly head wound, and could BRICS+ function as ten horns lending power at a critical hour?The conversation turns practical where prophecy meets markets. We examine how Western bullion banks stack enormous paper claims on limited physical metal, why BRICS nations are building metal‑backed exchanges, and how a delivery squeeze in silver could trigger cascading failures. Revelation 18 lists gold and silver first among Babylon’s lost merchandise and describes a collapse “in one hour” that leaves merchants wailing—not for lives lost, but for wealth erased. Whether you accept this mapping or not, the pattern forces sober questions about opaque power, moral compromise, and how fast a system can fail when confidence breaks.This is a watchman’s episode—story‑driven, text‑anchored, and uncomfortably timely. We’re not predicting dates; we are weighing evidence, testing patterns, and urging spiritual readiness. If you value thoughtful, scripture‑literate analysis of geopolitics, finance, and faith, you’ll find plenty to agree with, argue with, and share. Subscribe, send this to a friend who follows prophecy and markets, and leave a review with your take: are we seeing the ten horns take shape, or is this another false signal?They that seek shall find

• 4) Unmasking The “Queen Of Heaven” And The Coming Deception

  Send us a textA radiant figure with many names—Ishtar, Asherah, Sophia, “Lady Wisdom”—keeps reappearing across civilizations, texts, and timeline-shaking events. We follow that thread with open sources in hand and ask a hard question: when history celebrates the “Queen of Heaven,” does truth rise or collapse under her altar?We start where few sermons dare to linger: Enoch 42’s portrait of Wisdom who finds no place among humans and returns to a different heavenly realm. From there, Revelation 12 reframes exile and access, and Proverbs 8 lends a voice that sounds wise yet clashes with Enoch’s warning of “unrighteousness” from her chambers. The plot thickens as we revisit Sumer’s Ianna, Babylon’s Ishtar, and Canaan’s Asherah—traditions that sanctified sexual rites and inverted gender as religious devotion. Kings planted poles on every hill; Jeremiah named the Queen directly; judgment fell on temple and city alike. The pattern is sobering and eerily familiar.The story doesn’t end in antiquity. We examine Gnostic reverence for Sophia, the explosion of Marian apparitions, and the unsettling way a shining Lady directs prayer to herself, requests shrines, and offers talismans. Fatima’s “dancing sun,” witnessed by tens of thousands, echoes other historical aerial prodigies and raises the stakes: if signs can be staged, only doctrine and fruit can anchor discernment. We also look at a controversial occult thread that tied Ishtar to nationalist mythmaking, and then turn to the Ascension of Isaiah’s warning about a lawless ruler who mimics the Beloved and moves the lights in the sky to win hearts. Add recent claims of a coming “divine feminine” era in 2026 and the need for clarity becomes urgent.Our stance is simple and practical: test the spirits by their fruits, measure practices against Scripture, and resist spectacle that redirects worship away from the Father.  Learn to discern truth through the Spirit of God. Recognize the civilizational markers that accompanied deception before; and keep your bearings, for black swans are coming of epic proportions!   If this conversation challenged you, share it with someone thoughtful, and leave a review with your biggest question—we’ll bring it into a future episode.They that seek shall find

• 3) Decoding Crop Circles, Congress, and the Galactic Federation

  Send us a textA warning in binary, a sky battle carved into a 16th‑century woodcut, and congressional witnesses describing craft over restricted airspace shouldn’t fit in the same story—yet the threads keep crossing. We pull on those threads with care, mapping how the Arecibo message may have echoed back in intricate crop circles, why the 1561 Nuremberg “celestial phenomenon” still unsettles skeptics, and how modern missing‑time accounts produce testable artifacts like ASCII‑2 messages and precise coordinates. The aim isn’t to hype the weird; it’s to ask whether a pattern is emerging that curious, grounded people can evaluate without surrendering reason or faith.Along the way, we weigh striking claims about a “Galactic Federation” that allegedly affirms Jesus Christ across hundreds of worlds, and we stress-test that idea against scripture, history, and motive. We also introduce the controversial case of Chris Bledsoe—orb encounters, a radiant “Lady” who names herself with ancient goddess titles, reported healings witnessed by high‑profile observers, and a bold prediction of a 2026 shift toward a so‑called “divine feminine.” If true, these accounts demand a robust theological response; if false, they still teach us how deception might dress itself in light, wonder, and just enough truth to pass the sniff test.What emerges is a practical framework for discernment: test messages, not just manifestations; separate experience from interpretation; look for independent verification and falsifiable claims; and hold fast to the core of the gospel when spectacle invites syncretism. If a cultural black swan is approaching—mass sightings, data releases, or a unifying narrative—we’ll be better prepared by asking harder questions now. Listen, think deeply, and share your take.
