War, Chaos and Prophecy: Are You Ready?

[Steve Myers] Eyes are locked on the Middle East—again. The headlines are explosive: “Trump Demands Iran’s Total Surrender.” “Threatens ‘great and overwhelming force’.” “U.S. Knows Location of Iran’s Supreme Leader.” “Trump says ‘We’  have ‘Total Control’ of Skies over Iran”

At the same time: U.S. military assets are being repositioned. Israel’ not backing down. Tensions? Sky-high. Stakes? Even higher.

So... is this it?

Are we watching the end of the world unfold in real time?

Is this the countdown to the Apocalypse?

Here’s the thing: This isn’t just political. If you look through a biblical lens, these events may be signs of a much bigger prophetic picture.

Jesus said this would happen. In Matthew 24:6,  “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet” 

Don’t miss that: “See that you are not troubled.” Jesus is emphasizing— you don’t have to be anxious or overwhelmed. You can stay grounded in faith.

Then in verse 8, He adds: “All these are the beginning of sorrows.” Translation? We’re not there yet.

But the chaos we’re seeing—war, division, fake religion, a world in disorder— It’s not random. It’s not just the news cycle. It’s spiritual.

The Middle East has always mattered in Bible prophecy. But why does it matter to you?

Because Jesus wasn’t just giving a prediction. He was giving a warning—and a choice.

Right now, you have one too: Tune it out, distract yourself, keep scrolling. Or... dig deeper. Ask the big questions. Wake up spiritually.

Because this isn’t about panic. It’s about being ready. Really ready…Spiritually

No hype. No clickbait. Just the truth—worth checking out for yourself.

Jesus said it best: “Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” (Matthew 24:44)

So here’s the real question: Not just – “Is this the countdown to the Apocalypse?’

But: Are you ready—not just for what’s coming, but for who is coming?

Because the signs are real…And the clock is ticking…

So now’s the time to stop watching from the sidelines— And start getting serious about what matters most.
