Focus On The Prophecies

A Personal Message from Kevin Swift

Read this with an open Bible and an open heart. The hour is late—but God is faithful, and there is real hope in Yeshua our Messiah.

Dear Friend of Almighty God,

Now is the time to laugh, to hug, to love deeply, to forgive freely, to seek restitution where needed, and to cherish the moments we are given with those we love. Without warning, life-altering events will erupt across this planet—events that will turn daily life upside down and shake every familiar foundation.

Millions will face death without knowing the Savior. Yet during these final days, many will turn to Jesus—Yeshua, our Messiah—seeking hope amid uncertainty, fear, and collapse. Tragically, many professed Christians will be unprepared, having been taught to expect a rapture escape from the trials described in the books of Daniel and Revelation.

The doctrine of a secret rapture is a modern teaching, introduced only within the last two centuries of church history. Prior to that, no such belief existed. Jesus Himself taught—and church history confirms—that persecution is an expected part of discipleship. Even today, Christians around the world already endure tribulation, suffering, and death for their faith, while America has largely remained a safe harbor.

That season of safety is drawing to a close. The wise will not panic—but they will wake up, get ready, and help others do the same.

Terror, confusion, and instability will soon spread across society—affecting governments, institutions, churches, and communities alike. In the end, God’s chosen will indeed escape the Great Tribulation—but only just before God’s wrath is poured out upon the world.

The Last Days Preceding the Eternal Kingdom of God Are Upon Us

Sin is rampant—but Christ offers personal victory. As earth-shattering events unfold, fear, turmoil, rebellion, and lawlessness will increase. The Apostle Paul warned of this very generation:

“Mark this: there will be terrible times in the last days…” — 2 Timothy 3:1–7

He described a world consumed by self-love, greed, pride, abuse, deception, and a hollow form of godliness devoid of transforming power. May God help each of us live with conviction and steadfast faith—faith that overcomes sin and submits fully to Christ as Lord. The victorious life begins with repentance, surrender, and the new birth, empowered by the Holy Spirit. Yes, we all struggle. We often find ourselves doing what we do not wish to do. Yet now is the time to surrender our whole hearts to God as living sacrifices, as His Kingdom draws near.

The world will unite to survive—but we must unite with Jesus Christ. The political and economic landscape is racing toward global unity. From the United Nations to digital globalization, the world is moving toward a one-system order. The financial collapse of 2008 was only a preview of a far greater collapse to come.

A full-scale global crisis lies ahead—one that will align precisely with the prophetic warnings of Revelation 13. Governments, financial systems, banks, insurance companies, educational institutions, nonprofits, and even large church structures will fail. Cities will falter. Economies will crumble.

When all supports collapse, only God will remain. Trust in Messiah—moment by moment—will be our only true security.

Prophecy Moves from Theory to Reality

Scripture reveals a defining sequence of events. A major crisis will strike Jerusalem. A catastrophic earthquake or conflict will devastate the Temple Mount, its Islamic structures, and the Western Wall—igniting fury throughout the Muslim world, particularly Iran. Daily worship will cease. Tensions between Judaism, Islam, and Christianity will erupt.

These events will cascade rapidly into global financial collapse and world war, drawing in Russia, Europe, the United States, and many other nations. Pandemics, natural disasters, and sudden destruction will multiply. Fear and chaos will dominate as the illusion of world peace collapses into unprecedented conflict.

A Global Deception

Satan will intervene with powerful signs, wonders, and supernatural phenomena. In response, the world will rally behind a single religious-political leader.

“All the world will marvel and follow the beast.” — Revelation 13:3

This leader will rise from the ashes of global catastrophe, ruling for forty-two months (three and one-half years), deceiving the nations through miraculous signs and lying wonders:

“Because they did not receive the love of the truth… God sends them a strong delusion.” — 2 Thessalonians 2:9–11

This deception is permitted so that Satan’s character may be fully exposed—and God’s final work accomplished—ending in Satan’s defeat and the establishment of Messiah’s eternal Kingdom.

Demonic Activity Will Increase—but the Wise Will Discern

Apparitions and supernatural manifestations from demonic sources have increased worldwide for decades:

“In later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits.” — 1 Timothy 4:1

Even believers will face overwhelming deception. Only unwavering faith in Jesus Christ—grounded firmly in Scripture—will sustain us. Our survival depends on holding fast to Messiah and His revealed Word, especially His testimony in the book of Revelation (Revelation 1:1–3).

Understanding the Prophetic Blueprint

In recent decades, sincere students of prophecy have increasingly recognized the deep connection between Daniel and Revelation:

“Seal the book until the time of the end… knowledge shall increase.” — Daniel 12:4

These books now emerge as a unified prophetic revelation. Their timelines align with God’s Biblical Festivals—long-hidden mysteries now revealed in what is known as The Kingdom Calendar—a template of fulfillment ordained before time began (Daniel 10:21).

Our Personal Response to What Is Coming

1) Prepare spiritually

This is a time for personal awakening—renewed repentance, surrender, holiness, and devotion to Jesus. We must examine our own hearts, not others: (1 John 3:3).

2) Pursue wisdom through God’s Word

Each believer must understand Scripture personally—especially prophecy. Do not rely solely on teachers or institutions (2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Peter 1:19–21; 1 Corinthians 14:1).

3) Prepare physically

Wisdom calls for practical preparation—food, seeds, tools, safety planning, and community cooperation. Consider rural living and plan for instability. This is prudent for believers everywhere.

4) Prepare others

We are called to share the hope of Messiah with family, friends, and neighbors. The gospel of the Kingdom must be proclaimed before the end comes (Matthew 24:12–14; John 14:1–3).

The Journey Ahead—and the Promise Beyond

Before reaching the New Jerusalem, a wilderness journey lies ahead—just as Israel faced the wilderness before Canaan. These trials will either refine or harden the heart (Daniel 12:10).

Betrayal, persecution, loss, and fear will test us. Most of us are unaccustomed to such hardship. Yet Scripture reveals a defined period—three and one-half years, further divided by The Kingdom Calendar into counting periods—through which God’s faithful must endure. These trials unfold according to God’s appointed times and will end exactly on schedule.

The answer to the final trials is found in a living relationship with our Savior and a clear understanding of His prophetic Word. God has promised—by His own Name—to complete His redemptive work and usher in His Kingdom. Even amid sickness, sorrow, poverty, and death, we can live with hope. Satan’s days are numbered:

“There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain.” — Revelation 21:1–4

Keep looking up,
