In a timely end times discussion, Pastor Tom Hughes of Hope for Our Times hosted military analyst and former defense insider “Monkey Werx” on his podcast just days before Israel launched a large-scale attack on Iran early Friday morning in the Middle East.
In the interview, Monkey Werx and Pastor Hughes warned that America is edging closer to large-scale civil unrest, fueled by unchecked immigration, political division and coordinated street violence. The situation in Los Angeles, where federal officers were attacked during enforcement operations, was highlighted as a flashpoint that could ignite wider conflict across major cities like Dallas, Austin and Washington, D.C.

The hosts cautioned that these developments appear orchestrated, with signs of external funding and strategic organization reminiscent of past disturbances like Antifa and BLM. With tensions rising and federal responses escalating, the risk of internal conflict resembling a modern civil war is no longer unthinkable.
The podcast covered a broad range of geopolitical and prophetic topics, offering insight into current events through both military intelligence and biblical prophecy:
- Civil unrest and federal involvement in Los Angeles, raising concerns over constitutional overreach
- The growing presence and organization of illegal operatives within the U.S., potentially funded by global actors
- The lack of federal response to recent domestic terror incidents, raising questions about accountability
- Escalating tensions in the Middle East, especially between Israel and Iran, and their alignment with end-times prophecies in Ezekiel, Isaiah and Jeremiah
- AI and drone warfare as rapidly advancing military threats with global and domestic implications
- U.S. economic fragility tied to Chinese manufacturing and global dependency on American currency
- The potential use of centralized surveillance systems like Palantir as a precursor to prophetic global control
- Growing anti-Semitism in political movements and its prophetic resonance with Scripture
- Scientific reflections on the Shroud of Turin and its connection to resurrection and rapture theology
