In a recent conversation with Sheila Walsh, esteemed Bible teacher Dr. David Jeremiah offered a compelling walk through biblical prophecy, urging Christians to take seriously the signs pointing to the end times.
“There is coming a series of events so apocalyptic it will put a period behind the world as we know it and not one museum will be left standing to memorialize its destruction,” Dr. Jeremiah said, setting the tone for a sobering yet hope-filled conversation.
The Rapture vs. the Second Coming
Central to his teaching is the distinction between the Rapture and the Second Coming—two events that are often confused. “The rapture is when he comes for us and the second advent is when we come back with him to settle the events on this earth,” he explained. “If we understand that, then we can keep those two things straight.”

The Tribulation
Jeremiah outlined the timeline of the Tribulation, calling it a seven-year period “divided into two sections.” He explained, “At the beginning of the tribulation, the antichrist makes a covenant with Israel… and at the end of three and a half years he breaks that covenant. When that happens, all hell breaks loose on this earth.”
The Antichrist
Of the Antichrist, he said, “He is the incarnation of Satan. He is a man who has the oratorical ability of Adolf Hitler… He mimics everything that Jesus does. Anti doesn’t mean just against, but it means instead of.”
The Mark of the Beast
On the Mark of the Beast, Dr. Jeremiah was clear: “During the tribulation period, you have to take the mark of the beast in order to be able to survive. This is the economic control program of the antichrist… People who don’t take the mark will literally be starved out of existence.”

Globalism and Biblical Prophecy
He also addressed the growing trend of globalism, stating, “God is not a globalist. He’s a nationalist. The Bible says he’s made nations. The globalism issue goes all the way back to the Tower of Babel.”
The Battle of Armageddon
Looking to the future, Jeremiah described the final clash between good and evil: “The forces of evil and the forces of good will have one final encounter and the Lord Jesus Christ will be victorious. We come back with the Lord Jesus. We watch his victory… and I think we cheer.”
The Millennium Reign of Christ
After Christ’s return, believers will enter the Millennial Kingdom. “The millennium is a thousand-year reign of peace, and the Lord Jesus Christ will be king,” he said. “David will be his vice president, so to speak… and they will rule the world in righteousness and in godliness.”
The Restoration of Israel
One of the clearest indicators that the end is drawing near is already unfolding. “The greatest sign of the fact that we’re moving into this period of history is the return of Israel, because none of the prophecies of the book of Revelation… could happen if Israel’s not in the land.”
Prophecy and the Present Age
Dr. Jeremiah emphasized the ongoing relevance of prophecy: “The news is catching up with prophecy. And that’s what happens when you study that.”
As we witness the rising uncertainty, war and spiritual confusion, Dr. Jeremiah’s words serve as a reminder that Scripture has already mapped out the course ahead.

From the reemergence of Israel to the global push for centralized control, the signs are unfolding just as the Bible said they would. For believers, prophecy isn’t a subject to fear, but a call to readiness. As Dr. Jeremiah put it, “Now is your redemption nearer than when you believed.”

Revelation:
Don’t confuse man fallen sin (inability to discern God)
If psalms 24 is relevant then “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof” sounds globally to me.
Thanks for serving God for so many years. I’ve learned more in the last 2 yrs in a small women’s Bible Study in a tiny area of North Fla than ever before. We have been reading some of your books on the end times.
I was born in 1941, in Ohio. In the last couple days, I realized that was alive when In 1948, Israel became their own nation and so I was around when one of Gods prophecies came true. Hallelujah. I hope to be part of the rapture. In the meantime I keep being ready.
Blessings to you and your ministry team for educating and encouraging people to put their faith in Jesus🙏🙏
