UTTERMOST NORTH is an English translation of the Hebrew phrase yarkete tsaphon, which actually refers to cosmic north—the location of the palace of Baal.
Mount Zaphon is today called Jebel al-Aqra, a mountain in southern Türkiye near the city of Antakya (ancient Antioch). But given that it was believed to be the home of the king of the pantheon worshiped by the pagans of Canaan, references to tsaphon (“north”) in the Old Testament carry a supernatural meaning.
This is where the army of Gog of Magog will assemble (Eze. 38:6, 15; 39:2), and it’s where the rebel in Eden wanted to build his “mount of assembly” (Isa. 14:13), which is the Hebrew phrase (har moʿed) from which John transliterated the name Armageddon.
So, the idea that Christ’s return may echo the Exodus, coming from the south, may convey a deeper meaning of reversing the evil that came from “cosmic north” in ancient Israel.

A lot of biblical history took place east of the Jordan River. What role does the modern nation of Jordan play in end times prophecy?
This week, we discuss an interesting sequence of events that may unfold during the time of the Antichrist: If Israeli Jews take notice of the references to the “abomination of desolation” in the Book of Daniel (8:13, 9:26–27, 11:31, and 12:11) and they flee to the mountains as Jesus warned his followers to do in Matthew 24:15–21 (and as apparently prophesied in Revelation 12:6), they must return at some point because the House of Judah and House of David are in Jerusalem on the Day of the Lord (Zech. 12:1–11, 14:1–15), when God Himself goes into battle for Israel.
We also discuss whether Habakkuk 3:3–5 is an “already but not yet” prophecy, fulfilled already when the Israelites followed God from Teman and Mount Paran, which are alternate names for Sinai. If the wilderness to which the woman—Israel—flees in Rev. 12:6 is Petra, as some prophecy teachers believe, then yes, Habakkuk 3 may have a “not yet” fulfillment in the future.
We believe Sinai was either near or at Petra, not in Arabia, for reasons we’ll explain in detail another time. So, Habakkuk may have foreseen a future return from the wilderness to Jerusalem by the people of Israel prior to the final battle of the age, Armageddon.

THE PRECISION of prophecy is stunning. For example, David saw the crucifixion a thousand years before it happened.
This week, we discuss the startling connections between Psalm 22, the “crucifixion prophecy” of Isaiah 52:10 (and how it is embedded in the name “Yeshua”), and Zechariah’s prophecy of the Day of Yahweh, when our Lord returns and it welcomed by the House of David in Jerusalem.

ONE OF THE MOST MYSTERIOUS places in Israel is the recently identified Serpent Mound of Bashan. It’s three-quarters of a mile long, 20 to 25 feet high, covered with more than 140 megalithic tombs probably more than 5,000 years old, and it’s a quarter of a mile from Gilgal Refaim on the Golan Heights.
With the release of our book ‘The Gates of Hell’ this week, we revisit our discussion of the significance of this and other monuments to the cult of the dead in the ancient kingdom ruled by Og, Bashan—the “Place of the Serpent.”
We also visited Tel Dan at the foot of Mount Hermon, where we showed how a misunderstood verse in the Book of Hosea reveals that the golden calves of Jeroboam marked a return to the worship of the entity who was believed to live on the mountain, the Canaanite creator-god El—who, as Derek shows in his book The Second Coming of Saturn, was known to the Hebrews as Molech.
And we visit the place where Jesus declared his divinity—literally at the base of Mount Hermon, the Canaanite Olympus, standing in front of the gates of hell.

BESIDES THE WARS, rumors of war, famines, earthquakes, and nation rising against nation, there are other indicators that the year 2025 may be biblically significant.
First, the prophecies of the Essenes of the Second Temple period, who identified 2025 as the beginning of the final 50-year jubilee. In addition, central banks will begin trials of digital assets—virtual money—next year, the beginning of a shift to Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), a big step toward creating the mark of the Beast.
Then there are New Agers looking for what occultist Alice Bailey called the externalization of the Hierarchy, a vaguely defined concept that appears to mean the manifestation of… something. (Please understand we give this belief no credence whatsoever. We bring this up only to show that the Fallen have their agents on alert and ready to act as we approach the end of the age.)
Finally, although we do not set dates, we note that the Feast of Tabernacles next year, which concludes on Monday, October 13, 2025 is 3-1/2 years before the arrival of asteroid Apophis, named for the Egyptian chaos-serpent, which Tom Horn suggested might be the third trumpet judgment (Rev. 8:10–11) in his jaw-dropping book The Wormwood Prophecy. If, as Tom suggested, Wormwood marks the middle of the seven-year Great Tribulation, then the beginning coincides with the end of Tabernacles, the most important feast in the annual Jewish calendar.
Add to that wars in Ukraine and between Israel and its neighbors that threaten to escalate, not to mention the potential for unrest in the United States after our presidential election next month, and 2025 could be a very interesting and consequential year.

WITH THE WAR between Israel and Hamas approaching the one-year mark, things have escalated along Israel’s northern border with Hezbollah in Lebanon.
This week, we look at prophecies by Amos, Ezekiel, and Isaiah against Tyre, the preeminent city of the Phoenicians in Lebanon, and Gaza, the home city of Hamas today. Both of those cities suffered under the Assyrian invasions of the 8th and 7th centuries BC, but it’s worth asking whether any or all of them might be “already but not yet” prophecies that are about to be fulfilled today.

JESUS WARNED US to beware of false prophets and false christs in the last days. We think that a false Gog-Magog war is part of that deception.
Why? Prophetically minded Jews are looking for the Messiah at the end of the war described in Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39. There are few scenarios we can imagine that are more evil and insidious than deceiving Jews into welcoming the wrong man as the savior of Israel in a future war as a false Messiah, which is the literal meaning of the Greek word antichristos—the Antichrist.
-
THE END of the war of Gog and Magog is the battle of Armageddon.
This week, we discuss the parallels between Ezekiel 38–39 and Revelation 19. Jews believe that the Gog-Magog war is the conflict that brings the Messiah to Earth. They’re right, but Satan and his minions may use the current Arab-Israeli conflict, or a future war like it, to deceive religious Jews into welcoming a false Messiah.

GOD REVEALED to the Hebrew prophets that Israel would be scattered to the nations and then regathered. The second half of those prophecies was fulfilled in 1948.
Pastor Carl Gallups, author of Eyes to See and Gods of Ground Zero, discusses the prophecies fulfilled by the return of Israel to the land, especially Isaiah 49, in which the prophet foresaw a day when the Jews would say, “The place is too narrow for me; make room for me to dwell in” (Isa. 49:20)—which has been fulfilled by Israel’s refusal to return to the pre-1967 border with Jordan, which squeezed Israel to just nine miles wide at its narrowest point.
We also discuss the violent opposition to Israel’s very existence, which seems unlikely if the state of Israel was, as some contend, a Luciferian state under the control of Satan.

WE LIVE in prophetically significant times—the most prophetic era since the first coming of Jesus.
Pastor Carl Gallups, author of Eyes to See, joins us to explain why the Bible is unlike any other religious text, why Revelation 3’s “synagogue of Satan” does not refer to modern Israel, and how Israel’s return to the land in 1948 fulfills prophecy—in some cases, precisely.

NEWS HEADLINES are shadows of events in the spirit realm. It’s why Paul wrote, “We wrestle not against flesh and blood.”
As the world faces the possibility of World War 3, which we believe could be a false fulfillment of the Gog-Magog war of Ezekiel 38 and 39, we take time to look at what’s happening in the Middle East, and speculate on the identities of the principalities and powers behind the scenes.
We know that Satan leads the end times rebellion, based on Revelation 12, and note that Jesus identified Satan as Baal (Matt. 12:22–26), who was known in Greece and Rome as Zeus and Jupiter. We also believe he’s the most likely candidate for the prince of Greece mentioned in Daniel 10.
That begs the question: Who is the prince of Persia? Is it Ahura Mazda? Marduk? Are those different names for the same entity? Are they working together, or do they struggle with one another for power while they try to knock God off His throne?
Then there is Shemihazah, leader of the Genesis 6 rebellion, who we believe was the entity known to the neighbors of ancient Israel as El, Enlil, and Dagon—and who the Hebrew prophets called Molech. He’s the angel of the bottomless pit, which means he gets out for five months (Rev. 9:11). Does he think Satan will hand over his kingdom when he emerges from the abyss?
What about Inanna, the woman who rides the Beast? She thinks she controls the Antichrist and his kingdom, but Revelation tells us that the Beast and his ten sub-kings will turn on her and destroy her.
And then there is Chaos, or Leviathan. We believe this is the spirit that indwells the human we call Antichrist. He first emerges in Genesis 1:2 (the Hebrew word translated “deep”, tehom, is a cognate for Sumerian Tiamat, their version of Leviathan). Will he be satisfied playing the role of commander-in-chief of Satan’s army?

ARMAGEDDON IS commonly thought to be a battle between the forces of Antichrist and a loyal to God at Megiddo, an ancient city in Israel located at a strategic pass through the Carmel range of mountains. We disagree.
While it makes sense from a human perspective, as Megiddo was the site of key battles in history as far back as Pharaoh Thutmose III—probably the pharaoh with whom Moses was raised.
But the prize of the war led by Antichrist is the mount of assembly, mentioned in Isaiah 14:12 as the place from which the divine rebel plans to rule over God’s creation. In the context of the final war of the age, that refers to Zion—the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
It is the Hebrew phrase translated as “mount of assembly” or “mount of the congregation,” har mo`ed, that John transliterated into Greek as har magedon, which in turn was rendered in English as Armageddon.
-
ARMAGEDDON IS preceded by the destruction of Babylon, an event that brings the world economic system to its knees.
It may also be linked to a gruesome event described back in Revelation 14, where an angel first declares, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great,” and a few verses later the “harvest of the earth” results in blood “as high as a horse’s bridle, for 1,600 stadia (about 184 miles).”
Is the destruction of Babylon part of the trampling of grapes in the winepress of the wrath of God? Possibly. The main takeaway this week is that the seals, trumpets, and bowls don’t necessarily follow sequentially, as we return to the destruction of Babylon in Revelation 18, the prelude to Armageddon.

DO GIANTS still exist? Did they ever? Why are we even talking about them in a program about Bible prophecy?
Just after New Year’s Day, a grainy, long-distance video appeared to show an entity some 7 to 10 feet tall which some believe was responsible for dozens of Miami police units being called to the scene.
It wasn’t a giant in Miami, but the spirits of the Nephilim are prophesied to take part in the battle of Armageddon.

PAUL WROTE that “we wrestle not against flesh and blood.” So, which principalities, powers, and cosmic rulers over this present darkness are responsible for what’s happening on Earth today?
We discuss the Israel-Hamas conflict and the long war for control of the holy ground called Israel, connecting the god of Islam to an ancient entity called Molech and the Destroyer who emerges from the Abyss in the end times—Abaddon.

THE ANTICHRIST’S KINGDOM will not be established by conquest but by law—one suffocating regulation at a time.
This week, we discuss a meeting in May that sounded mundane and boring, the World Health Assembly. At this meeting, however, some 300 proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations were voted upon by the 194 member states of the WHO. Some of these amendments, which become law in May of 2025, essentially give the World Health Organization the power to rule the world.
Does that sound too sensational to be true? We thought so, too, at first. But legal scholars who have looked at this are sounding the alarm. Using public health as justification, the WHO wants the power to dictate health policies, control our ability to travel, and even regulate what they consider mis-, dis-, or malinformation on social media.
It doesn’t take a believer in end times Bible prophecy to see how next May’s seemingly boring meeting of health professionals and bureaucrats could lay the groundwork for a global government. If you have a prophetic worldview, you see exactly where this leads.

THE MODERN STATE OF ISRAEL is not the product of a conspiracy to deceive Christians into supporting the dark side.
If Satan had wanted to create a “fake Israel,” he certainly went about it in a strange way. This week, we summarize the political intrigues of the first half of the 20th century both for and against the creation of an independent Jewish state.
In a nutshell, Israel’s Declaration of Independence on May 14, 1948 happened despite intense resistance from American, British, German, Russian, and Arab interests, both government and private, as well as pressure from the Vatican to give it control of the holy sites in Palestine. The fact that Jews in Palestine were able to overcome these obstacles and secure the United Nations vote in November of 1947 to grant them a homeland was nearly miraculous.
It seems to us that a “fake Israel” would have faced far fewer stumbling blocks on the way to becoming a reality.

19th CENTURY ANTISEMITISM fueled a desire in Jews from America to the Middle East to find a homeland where they would be safe.
This week, we summarize events from 1800 through the infamous Dreyfus affair that divided France from 1894 until 1906. One of the journalists who covered the trial was Theodor Herzl—who was impacted by the injustice of it that he became the father of modern political Zionism, which led to an independent Israel in 1948.
-
THE EMERGENCE of an independent Jewish state in 1948 is a subject that provokes controversy, especially now with Israel engaged in a war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
What led to the creation of modern Israel? We’ll discuss this over the next few programs as we look at the prophetic fulfillment of God’s promise to Hebrew prophets more than 2,400 years ago. This week, we look at the historical backdrop of the 19th century, a time when Jews in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East began to realize that they weren’t as safe and secure as they’d come to believe.

Aliens in the Bible? Yes, but not in the way many think.
Pastor Mike Hoggard of Bethel Church in Festus, Missouri (PastorMikeHoggard.com, UFOpastor.com) explains that Nordics, reptilians, and grays have a biblical explanation, and that, even though they’re not extraterrestrisl, they are rightly called “aliens” because they’re not from here—and they’re not supposed to be here.
