Jesus Tells Autistic Boy on Sept 13th That He's Coming in 10 Days

On September 13th, 2025, Jesus told autistic boy that He's coming in 10 days.

A Youtube video viewer commented, "On the 13th of this month [Sept. 2025], I woke up, and was just told by my six-year-old son, ‘Jesus is coming back soon.’ And when I asked him how many days, he answered, ‘10 days.’ My jaw dropped and I was speechless. I then asked, ‘Who told you?’, he said, ‘Jesus.’ I asked, ‘Did you see Him?’ and he said, ‘Yes,’ and he had a big smile on his face. My son is autistic and he [normally] either says, ‘I don't know,’ to a question or speaks of his big numbers. That was my confirmation recently.”

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus. Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15). He preached that we must repent and believe.

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"

Must the Man of Sin Be Revealed Before the Rapture?

Does the man of sin have to be revealed before the Rapture? Many people argue that he must be revealed beforehand, and that the rapture cannot occur until he is revealed, because the apostle Paul wrote: "Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction." (2Th 2:3).

The word revealed is the Greek verb apokalupto, related to the Greek noun apokalupsis found in the book of Revelation 1:1, which is an unveiling. What kind of unveiling or uncovering of a hidden mystery was the book of Revelation? It is a supernatural one of the Spirit that the Father gave to Jesus to show His servants, and which Jesus sent His angel to tell John, in order to pass that along to the Lord's servants. It was not a news story broadcast to the world, but a supernatural apokalupsis.

Therefore, we must understand what Paul meant when he said the man of lawlessness must first be revealed (v. apokalupto) before we are gathered to the Lord. Some try to make this passage be about the Second Coming of the Lord at the end of the Great Tribulation, interpreting it that way so as to mean that by that point in time, obviously the antichrist has been revealed. But I don't see it that way. I see it like this. What is the criteria that must be met in order for the man of sin to be "revealed"? Does it have to be broadcast on the news that this is the antichrist? Does he have to come out on CNN wearing a name tag that says, "So-and-so the antichrist"? Or is it something else less obvious to the whole world, but known and recognized by the saints with ears to hear and eyes to see? I think it is the latter, something totally supernatural like the way the book of Revelation was given (eg.., through a vision or even dreams).

Has the antichrist been revealed already? I believe he definitely has through many visions and dreams. For example, many have received revelations from God that Barack Obama is the antichrist, which I've written about here. Moreover, others have received a revelation that it is a man from the Middle East from a Muslim country, and brother Joshua Mhlakela of South Africa got the revelation in a vision from God that it is Mohammad Bin Salman (MBS), the crown prince of Saudi Arabia (see here).

Furthermore, the other question is when does this revelation have to occur to fulfill what Paul stated in 2 Thessalonians 2:3? Does it have to occur weeks or months beforehand? I believe it has already been revealed, but in terms of a more public way that more people will recognize, what if that were to happen the day of the rapture or the day before? What if the man of lawlessness were to be in the news immediately before or on the day of the rapture, having signed a 7-year peace treaty for Israel and Palestine?

The advantage of this timing and method demonstrates the wisdom of God. The naysaying, apostate Christians with a mere form of godliness, who deny the power of God (2 Timothy 3:5), who say that the rapture cannot happen yet, since the man of sin has not been revealed, are not aware that God has already revealed it to His servants according to Amos 3:7, as I have already stated. And secondly they have not stopped to consider that the antichrist could be revealed immediately before the rapture, while they are going about their routine business, before they have a chance to receive news of it, until it is too late for them, because they have already missed the rapture. That is exactly what I believe will happen.

As I have already written about, Macron announced earlier this month that he and Crown Prince Bin Salman will co-chair the Two-State Solution conference at the upcoming UN Summit in NYC the week of September 23rd, right during the period when the rapture is supposed to occur, according to Many Revelations Concerning the September 2025 Rapture, and they will sign a 7-year peace treaty. If Bin Salman is the antichrist, as brother Joshua says the Lord showed him in a vision, then that would fulfill 2 Thessalonians 2:3 in a more public way, which may be so late that the naysayers will not realize it in time, and they will be stuck having to endure the Great Tribulation.

Paul goes on to say in that passage (2 Thes 2:3) that the one who holds back or restrains must continue to restrain the secret power of lawlessness that has actively been working diabolically in the world since the first century, so that he is revealed only at the proper time of GOD's choosing, not the choosing of the antichrist. The restrainer is the Holy Spirit in the Bride of Christ, and when He is removed, then the antichrist will be fully revealed to everyone, but I think he has already been revealed through the Lord's servants to the saints who are watching and listening, and that he will be more publicly revealed at the very last moments before the rapture, such as the day before the rapture (or the same day), as we are seeing play out in the news right now. and about which I have written in my article, Seven-year Peace Deal at September UN Summit.

Closing Words

In closing, I think this completely demolishes the argument that many are making that the rapture cannot occur this month or at any point until the man of sin is revealed, and it puts the naysayers on notice, who are using that argument to deny the imminence of the Lord's soon return.

I recommend that you please take this to the Lord in prayer, and ask Him to confirm to you for yourself whether what I am saying is from Him or not. The Holy Spirit will be faithful to reveal it to you, if you humble yourself and ask the Lord, according to Jeremiah 29:13 and 33:3. Let's not be like the Sadducees and Pharisees, whom Jesus criticized as hypocrites, because they could not interpret the signs of the times, even though they could discern weather patterns in the sky (Mt 16:3; Luke 12:56).

We should always be ready for Jesus' return at any time, watching, praying, and keeping our lamps burning (see video); but I think these many confirmations should put us all on high alert high alert for the rapture this month of September. I am not saying the rapture will definitely occur on September 23rd or 24th, although I think the probability is extremely high that it will happen. In fact, I think the chances of the rapture not occurring at this time are approaching zero. I sense in my spirit, as most of us do, that the time of the rapture is very near, and certainly hope it happens this month.

Whether you believe it or not, one thing is for sure -- Jesus is coming back soon! You need to get your life right with Jesus right now. Give your life to Jesus before the rapture happens and before the Great Tribulation begins. Repent and return to the Lord with fasting and prayer, seeking His face with all your heart, proving your repentance by your deeds.

Seven-year Peace Deal at September UN Summit

Those of us who have studied eschatology over the years know that there is a popular interpretation of biblical prophecy, which maintains that there will be a seven-year peace treaty during the Great Tribulation, a seven-year period known also as Daniel's 70th week (Dan 9:27). Interestingly, plans are in place for a seven-year peace treaty to be signed at the UN summit the week of September 23rd, which happens to coincide with the Many Revelations Concerning September 2025 Rapture on the 23rd or 24th.

A simple Google search online yielded the following results from generative AI:

Based on reports from early to mid-2025, mediators proposed a seven-year ceasefire deal to end the war in Gaza, which Hamas accepted, but Israel rejected.

Mediator-proposed seven-year truce (April 2025)

The proposal: Mediators from Egypt and Qatar presented a plan that included a seven-year truce, a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, the release of all hostages held by Hamas, and a restructuring of Gaza's governance.

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will formally recognize the State of Palestine at the UN General Assembly in September 2025. In early September 2025, Macron announced that he would co-chair a "two-state solution conference" in New York with Mohammad Bin Salman (Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia) on September 22. The goal is to rally the broadest international support possible for the two-state solution.

The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) overwhelmingly voted on a resolution supporting a two-state solution on Friday, September 12, 2025. The resolution endorsed the "New York Declaration," which charts a path toward a Palestinian state alongside Israel. The non-binding resolution passed with 142 votes in favor, 10 against, and 12 abstentions. The resolution was sponsored by France and Saudi Arabia. The US and Israel were among the 10 nations that voted against it.

The above information was mostly gleaned from generative AI and is a direct quote. I think it is a very interesting coincidence that this conference regarding the seven-year treaty is set to happen the week of September 23rd, when thousands of saints around the world, who are eagerly awaiting the Lord's return, are hoping to be caught up to heaven in the rapture, after which the seven-year Great Tribulation would begin.

The seven-year peace treaty is the event that initiates the seven-year Tribulation and signals the emergence of the man of lawlessness (antichrist). For this will not bring true peace, but a false peace, as it says in Scripture, "When they say, 'Peace and security,' then destruction will come upon them suddenly as labor pains upon a woman, and they will not escape." Here are the comments being made by various world leaders right now in that context:

Netanyahu (Israel): "Our goal is PEACE AND SECURITY."

Macron (UN): “Together, let us make this Conference on the Two-State Solution a decisive turning point for PEACE AND SECURITY for all in the region.”

Guterres (UN General Sec): "The only realistic, just, and sustainable solution is Two States -- Israel and Palestine -- living side-by-side in PEACE AND SECURITY, with Jerusalem as the capital of both."

Meanwhile, President Trump -- the "last Trump" -- who believes he deserves a Nobel Peace prize for bringing peace to so many countries during his second term, will address the UN General Assembly on September 23rd. He recently told reporters at the Oval Office, “I think within the next two to three weeks, you're going to have a pretty good, conclusive ending” to the Gaza war. He has forcefully told Prime Minister Netanyahu to end it. In fact, Netanyahu quoted Trump as saying to him, “Go in with full force and finish it [the war].” Perhaps Trump knows something we don't know. Perhaps he knows that a peace treaty is going to be signed at the UN summit to create a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine to coexist in the land, and perhaps he wants Israel to do whatever they have to do before the summit to finish up their war against the Palestinians.

It seems that Trump is going to build upon the Abraham Accord that was signed during his first term, which normalized relations between Israel and four Arab nations. Is he planning on adding Palestine to that Accord? Could the upcoming, seven-year peace treaty to be signed at the UN summit this month give Israel freedom to build their third temple without interference in exchange for the two-state solution? We shall see (see Epilogue below).

Scriptures

The rapture is taught in Scripture. Here are just a few of the verses that speak about this time when God will send His angels to "catch away" or "snatch up" (Greek, harpazo) the saints:

"For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever." (1Th 4:16-17)

"Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality." (1Co 15:51-53)

After the rapture comes an hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth (Rev 3:10). This hour of trial is known as the Great Tribulation, which is a seven year period.

Jesus said, "For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened." (Mat 24:21-22; cf. Dan 12:1)

"He [antichrist] will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him." (Dan 9:27)

"While people are saying, 'Peace and safety,' destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape." (1Th 5:3).

Closing Words

I recommend that you please take all of this to the Lord in prayer, and ask Him to confirm to you whether or not it means the rapture will occur in September 2025. Let's not be like the Sadducees and Pharisees, whom Jesus criticized as hypocrites, because they could not interpret the signs of the times, even though they could discern weather patterns in the sky (Mt 16:3; Luke 12:56).

We should always be ready for Jesus' return at any time, watching, praying, and keeping our lamps burning (see video); but I think these are certainly significant events converging together that should put us all on high alert for the rapture this month of September. I am not saying the rapture will definitely occur on September 23rd or 24th, although I think the probability is extremely high that it will happen. In fact, I think the chances of the rapture not occurring at this time are approaching zero. I sense in my spirit, as most of us do, that the time of the rapture is very near, and certainly hope it happens this month.

Epilogue

In Pres. Macron's opening remarks at the UN conference on September 22, 2025, he repeatedly said, "The time has come" from the beginning of his speech to the conclusion. He also said things like, "The universal commitment to peace is the only path toward salvation." And he publicly recognized the State of Palestine, which was followed by overwhelming applause. He also said the two-state solution is the only way for Israel to have "peace and security".

As I wrote in my article, Trump's Israel Peace Deal Fulfilling Prophecy, after I posted this one, he said, "it's just a part of the bigger picture which is peace in the Middle East and let's call it eternal peace in the Middle East." He also said, "This is eternity. This is for forever. To ensure the success of this effort, my plan calls for the creation of a new international oversight body, 'the Board of Peace.'"

On Thursday, October 9, 2025, Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas signed an agreement to cease fire and free Israeli hostages.

Woman Has Vision of Only Few Being Raptured

One of our Doulos Training School (DTS) graduates in Uganda, brother Grace Okurut (pictured left), is traveling across Uganda with a team of around ten gospel ministers (article here), preaching the gospel, warning people that the rapture is about to take place. The reception has been excellent. If you have not yet seen my article about the Many Revelations Concerning September 2025 Rapture, then please check it out today at this link. This is an urgent, time-sensitive message.

I'd like to share with you the following amazing testimony, regarding an experience that brother Grace had at a church in Uganda recently, where he was a guest preacher. He had come to spread the news about the rapture this month and warn people to get ready, but had not yet shared his message. The Spirit of God was falling so mightily in that place. He put his hand on one lady, whom he had never met, who was a brand new believer. Suddenly the Holy Spirit came upon her with mighty power. Here is what he wrote:

"Dear brother Len,

This one especially has astounded me; I'm totally surprised at what the Lord is doing!!!! This is our third day here discipling and reaching out to the communities for the Lord.

As we started sharing today and at the time of prayer, welcoming the Holy Spirit, He really came upon the Church of over 60 in attendance, including women and men.

As we were laying hands on people, the Lord led me to lay a hand on a lady called Sarah (pictured left). Sarah didn't know the warning message of the Lord's coming back I came with; she is new and newly filled by the Holy Spirit! Immediately she burst into tongues, cried with a loud voice and tears rolling. After that intense prayer, Sarah testified, 'During the prayer she received too much power come to her, and she saw men who were wearing very white clothes. She then found herself with 10 others and the men in white caught up to heaven. This vision burdened her, so she asked the Lord, "Why is it we were many in the Church but only 11 were taken to heaven with the men in white!!!!?'

Then the Lord showed her this vision, 'The people who were left behind appeared to her each with strings attached to their fingers, and some of the strings on the men's fingers were connected to women, while some of the women's strings were connected to men; others were busy with money doing their businesses, others were swimming in the water, and all people were busy in the things of the world!'

The voice told her, 'Jesus is coming back very soon and the Church is not ready!!!'

I'm emailing this to you with Sarah's photo. I wanted to have taken a video of her testimony but she is shaking, not able to speak well because of the things she saw! This is exactly what you have communicated (see article on September Rapture). I'm busy traveling to different places with my team, and will get back to you again,

Be blessed my brother,

Bro Grace."

Follow Up Conversation

In a follow-up phone conversation that I had on September 26, 2025 with brother Grace about this experience, he shared more amazing details about it with me that I would like to tell you about.

Initially this sister had the experience in the main meeting of the church, and she shared the message in tongues, as well as the interpretation of it. But since she was shaking and weeping so much, the pastors brought her into a side room to try and calm her down. They actually had to pray for her for the Lord to restore her peace, and it took hours for her to calm down. She kept crying and shaking, and she kept seeing the vision before her of the angels taking the eleven people up in the rapture, leaving most of the Church behind. She kept hearing the voice saying over and over, "My people are not ready. My people are not ready." Brother Grace said that he and the other pastors in the room with her were all crying, too, and they could feel the presence of the Holy Spirit in the room tangibly like electricity. Praise the Lord!

Scriptures

Jesus said, "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." (Mat 7:13-14)

Someone asked him, "Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?" He said to them, "Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to." (Luk 13:23-24)

And, "If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?" (1Pe 4:18)

Closing Words

This testimony illustrates the fact that very few Christians are going to make it in the rapture. In fact, God says that most of the Body of Christ is not ready for the rapture. That is why we must prepare ourselves, and that is why the Lord told us to "be ready" (Mt 24:44). Being ready is a condition of our life, and we have the free will to choose to be ready or not.

As I have written in my article, Very Few Will Hear the Trumpet Sound, only about 2% of all Christians are rapture ready. Will you be?

I hope you will take this seriously. If you would like to know how to be ready for the rapture, please see my article on that here at this link. And if you have not yet read my article about the Many Revelations Concerning September 2025 Rapture, then please check it out today at this link.

Jacob's Trouble About to Be Fulfilled

In my last post, I wrote about the Many Revelations Concerning September 2025 Rapture. Today I'd like to corroborate that further by noting some signs indicating that the time of Jacob's Trouble is about to begin.

The prophet Jeremiah predicted the time of Jacob's trouble in Jeremiah 30:7, in which he described a period of intense tribulation and distress for the nation of Israel. It is often associated with the Great Tribulation, which the Lord Jesus prophesied about in Matthew 24:21, a coming period of hardship and persecution for both the Jewish people and all mankind before His return. This time is going to be one of intense suffering, persecution, and warfare, as God's judgments and wrath are poured out, but also a time of divine intervention and ultimate salvation for Israel.

You don't want to be here for the Great Tribulation, as this is going to be a time of hell on earth, a dystopian world, in which the antichrist will reign globally as an incarnation of satan. He will seek to control the thoughts and activities of everyone who lives upon the earth, and part of his plan to do so includes the mark of the beast that he will require everyone to take.

According to Scripture, the Great Tribulation begins immediately after the rapture of the Body of Christ, in which the saints will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air when He comes for us in the clouds (1 Thes 4:14-18). The rapture will occur at the last trumpet (1 Cor 15:51-53), which is why so many believe it will coincide with the Feast of Trumpets, as the Lord has revealed to numerous believers around the world independently. Therefore, if these revelations are truly from the Lord, then the great Tribulation would begin this fall, after the Feast of Trumpets.

It has also been pointed out by some that 2025 is the 77th anniversary since Israel regained their statehood in 1948. The nation of Israel is named after Jacob, whom God renamed Israel. He was 77 years old when he married Leah and Rachel (see here), who gave birth to the twelve sons of Israel, which became twelve tribes. He had to work another seven years for his father-in-law Laban after he married the two sisters, so he was 84 years old at the end of that seven years.

Coincidentally Israel will celebrate their 84th anniversary in seven years. Could the next seven years be the time of Jacob's Trouble, which would parallel the period when Jacob encountered those troubles with his father-in-law Laban? We know that during the seven years Jacob worked for his uncle, Laban changed his wages ten times (Gen 31:7), and at the end of that period, Jacob took his wives, children, and all his property, and escaped from Laban without telling him he was leaving. Certainly that was a seven-year time of trouble for Jacob, so it seems reasonable to draw the parallel between his ages at the beginning and end of it, and the anniversary dates of Israel at the beginning and end of the next seven years. If this parallel is valid, and if the time of Jacob's Trouble begins this fall, then Israel would coincidentally be 77 at the beginning of it and 84 at the end of it. This parallel will never again occur at any future point, so it is worth giving it careful consideration.

Moreover, in my related recent article called Many Revelations Concerning September 2025 Rapture, I stated that seven years ago in 2018, the Lord told a man from South Africa named Joshua Mhlakela that when Israel is celebrating their 77th anniversary from the time they were reestablished as a nation in 1948, the "exodus" (i.e., rapture) would occur. It's important to note that Israel is currently celebrating their 77th anniversary this year in 2025.

Divine Coincidences

The day before I wrote this article, I wrote an article called Jacob Was 77 Years Old When He Married, which I referenced and linked to above in this present article. A few minutes after I wrote that article, I happened to watch the first part of a video on Youtube about the Feast of Trumpets in 2025, after which I was quite amazed to find the following statement in the video comments, which the channel owner left in reply to one of his viewers:

"Jacob (Israel) was 77 when he took his first bride..." That seemed to me like a divine confirmation of the article I had just written. So that occurred last evening.

Then this afternoon, after I wrote this present article about Jacob's Trouble About to Be Fulfilled, while I was praying and seeking the Lord, I glanced over at the thermometer on my desk in front of me in my office, and was amazed to see that the indoor and outdoor temperatures displayed side-by-side were 77 and 84 respectively (photo below)! I knew that was definitely a divine confirmation of this article that I had just written, in which I referenced the numbers 77 and 84 regarding Jacob's age, as well as the age of the nation of Israel.

[Note: Up until October 7, 2025, 55 days later, I still hadn't seen that 77/84 number combination again on my thermometer.]

Closing Words

We should always be ready for Jesus' return at any time, watching, praying, and keeping our lamps burning (see video); but I think these are certainly significant warnings that should put us all on high alert for the rapture this September. I am not saying the rapture will occur in September, although I think the probability is extremely high that He will do so. In fact, I think the chances of the rapture not occurring this year are approaching zero. I sense in my spirit, as most of us do, that the time of the rapture is very near, and certainly hope it happens this fall.

Did the Pope Open Demonic Portals?

As I have written in the past, the Roman Catholic Church is an occult religion, which I was once a devout member of. The pope is not the Holy Father, although he is called by that title. This is a man who openly promotes sin and evil, and participates in vile things.

Therefore, when I saw the pope on video conducting a ritual on Christmas Eve 2024 to open the first of five portals, I did not take that lightly. While it was a physical door he was opening, it was connected to a portal in the spirit realm, since this was a spiritual ritual. It was not just the usual, everyday type of opening a door that we all do, but one that was done in a spiritual ceremony, where the door was intended to symbolize something spiritual. Things in the physical realm are connected to things in the spiritual realm, and physical objects are used in spiritual rituals (both Christian and pagan) to represent things in the spiritual realm (see The Link Between Two Realms). Any portals that he was opening are certainly not portals to Heaven or the Kingdom of God. They are portals to the kingdom of darkness! So what could possibly go wrong, right?

I would also like to mention that one of the portals that he opened in this ritual that spanned several days had previously been dedicated by a prior pope to "the Mother of God", and was named as such. It's important to understand that this is connected with devotion to Mary, which is completely unbiblical, idolatrous, and demonic. While many Catholics participate in such devotion unwittingly, sincerely believing it is sacred, as I once did, they don't realize that this is completely contrary to Scripture and is evil in the sight of God. Satan and his demons are directly involved in this practice, as with all sinful practices, and receive such worship that people think they are giving to Mary. In essence, the enemy steals the worship that should have only ever been given to the one, true, Lord God Almighty and His Son Jesus Christ.

Since the pope is recognized by people globally as their spiritual authority, they are lending credence to his actions and words. As of 2024, there are between 1.28 and 1.39 billion baptized Catholics worldwide. So over a billion people across the planet are putting their trust in Him as their leader, and that means a lot of people were standing in agreement with him during this pagan ritual, when he opened those portals, even though they naively thought he was doing something beneficial or sacred.

Only time will tell what the direct and indirect consequences are from his actions on Christmas Eve. It's not that I don't believe in portals. There are most definitely portals in the spirit realm. But there are portals to glory as well as portals to darkness. And with all the witchcraft in the church today -- both Protestant and Catholic, it's not unlikely at all that what were opened by the pope were the bad kind of portals.

This is one of those signs of the end times, and I want to point out a pattern of evil that I have seen taking place since the day after he opened those portals. The devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy. He has demons that cause accidents of all kinds, including car accidents and airplane crashes, as well as train wrecks, industrial accidents, and "natural" disasters.

Here is one particular pattern I have seen taking place since the portals were opened on Christmas Eve (notice the dates):

That's a total of 179 crashes in 34 weeks at a rate of 5 crashes per week. And 961 people have died in these crashes. That's the pattern I have seen since the pope opened the portals. Whatever you believe about the cause for this spate of crashes, hopefully you can see that this is not normal. Something has changed.

These accidents, including five major crashes of commercial airliners, have all occurred in a nearly continuous string since Christmas Day, which was the biggest air crash of 2024. And by way of comparison, in 2023, there were no commercial jet crashes that ended with fatalities (see statistics below). Let that sink in for a moment.

All of these airplane accidents followed a nearly continuous string of UFO sightings around the world for the three preceding months in October, November, and December 2024. As I have written about in my article, Worldwide "Drone" Incursions, these unexplained aerial phenomena (UAP) were observed in 43 states, 19 foreign countries, one US district, and one US commonwealth. These things terrorized people for an extended period of three months.

Trump's Alibi for the "Drones"

While Trump was President-elect, he said the government surely must know what these "drones" are, and he vowed to find out and tell the public after taking office. Later as President, after his inauguration, he stated that most of the New Jersey sightings were authorized by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to be flying for research and other purposes. I don't believe that.

First of all, it was shown that the FAA was not even able to see most of these drones on radar. If they were approved, they would be visible on radar, and the FAA would have told the military and police what was going on. But the military and police didn't know what was going on, and even the FBI and Homeland Security said they didn't know who was behind the drones. In fact, they even sent fighter jets and helicopters up to chase after them.

Secondly, while the FAA acknowledged these mysterious sightings, they claimed that the cause was unknown. I even listened to a recording of Air Traffic Control (ATC) transmissions with airline pilots over Oregon, regarding such sightings by pilots, in which the controller called them UFOs (U stands for "unidentified"). And ATC works for the FAA, so it would make no sense for them to speak like that if they knew what these were.

Thirdly, the only ones Trump referred to were those over New Jersey, but he never mentioned the other 42 states, 19 other countries, plus one US district and one commonwealth. I think there was a more nefarious purpose behind these UAPs. I believe they are the evil Nephilim.

Fourthly, if the FAA lied to the military, the police, the airline pilots, and the public during these sightings, and is now saying the sightings were authorized flights for research and other purposes, then they should be investigated and prosecuted for fraud and terrorizing the public and creating mayhem. Trump is normally one to hate corruption and fraud, and to go after it to root it out, so why did he give them a free pass?

The FAA is under the Department of Transportation (DOT), which at the time of these sightings was headed up by the Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg. If the FAA authorized most of these drones, then surely Buttigieg should have known about it. Why isn't he under investigation for possible involvement in this?

Lastly, there should be ATC employees coming out to either confirm or deny Trump's claim that the FAA authorized most of these aerial vehicles. They would certainly know if the FAA had authorized them or not, and should be able to tell us whether that was true or not.

Closing Words

I say these are all signs of the times pointing to the soon return of our Lord Jesus Christ. He said that leading up to his return, there would be fearful events and great signs from heaven (Luke 21:11). It's time to repent, and get ready. Jesus is coming back right away, so you need to get your life right with Jesus right now. I hope this article has helped you to see that more clearly now, so that you will take action to ensure you don't get left behind in the seven year Great Tribulation, which will be like hell on earth.

Epilogue

The so-called AI fact checkers are now (after the fact) denying that the pope actually opened any spiritual portals on Christmas Eve, calling that a false, conspiracy theory that was spread widely on social media. However, it was not only reported on social media but in mainstream media, as well as Vatican News itself, saying that he was opening five "sacred portals". Any time you see "fact checkers", you can usually count on one fact, and that is that whatever they are saying is probably the opposite of the truth.

There are also many sources saying that the aircraft accident rate is down in 2025, and that flying is safer than ever. It should be noted, however, that they typically show statistics on rates of accidents per 100,000 flight hours per year, or some other rate, rather than showing raw data in terms of the number of accidents per year. However, here is some raw data reported by the National Transportation and Safety Board (NTSB), regarding the total number of fatal aircraft accidents (of all kinds, not just commercial) globally per year:

2022 - 329 (average of 6 per week)

2023 - 293 (average of 6 per week)

2024 - 281 (average of 5 per week)

2025 - 173 through July (average of 5 per week year-to-date)

Furthermore, here is a chart taken from the Aviation Safety Network (ASN), a service of the Flight Safety Foundation with data as of July 2025, showing a very high spike in commercial/cargo aircraft fatalities year to date in 2025 (blue line) compared to the five-year average (red line).
