4 Signs The End Times Are Here

All four were written down in advance, in apocalyptic books that were cut out of the Western Bible and kept, uncensored, in Ethiopia. The people reading them now are the ones who will not be caught off guard.

Sign #1: Wars And Rumors Of Wars

The wars burning as you read this.
"You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom."Matthew 24:6-7

Think about the last few years.

USA vs Iran. Russia vs Ukraine. Israel vs Palestine.

Every night there's something new on the news. Another heinous attack. Another country striking another.

Whichever side you're on doesn't matter. However heartbreaking it is, it's happening.

And it isn't just political. It's spiritual. It's biblical.

And Jesus wasn't the first to see it coming. Look at how many people, across thousands of years, saw the exact same thing.

  1. Before the FloodEnochAnd brothers one with another shall fall in death till the streams flow with their blood.Enoch 100:1-2Not in your Bible
  2. On Mount SinaiMosesThey shall not return until much blood has been shed on the earth, one by another.Jubilees 23:20Not in your Bible
  3. About 700 B.C.IsaiahBrother will fight against brother, neighbor against neighbor, city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.Isaiah 19:2
  4. About 550 B.C.DanielUntil the end there will be war; desolations have been decreed.Daniel 9:26
  5. After the exileEzraOne people against another, and one realm against another.2 Esdras 13:31Taken out in 1826
  6. About A.D. 30JesusNation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.Matthew 24:7
  7. About A.D. 95JohnIts rider was granted permission to take away peace from the earth and to make men slay one another.Revelation 6:4

Seven voices. Thousands of years apart. All of them saw the same thing.

And not one of them gave a date.

That's the part that should keep you up at night.

"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."Matthew 24:36

Not the pastors on TV. Not the angels. No one.

Which means it could be any night. Jesus said so Himself.

"For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect."Matthew 24:44

At an hour you do not expect.

And notice something about that timeline. Three of those seven warnings aren't in the Bible most Christians were handed.

It isn't just the Book of Revelation that tells us what the end times will look like. There are 22 more books that describe these days in startling detail. Books that were left out, or quietly taken out, of the Bible most of us were handed.

Whatever the reason, the result is the same. You, your family, your children, maybe even your grandchildren, left unprepared for the very days those books describe.

I'm going to show you what they say. And then I'm going to show you how to fight back.

Sign #2: Famines, Plagues, And Earthquakes

SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind the 2020 pandemic

"There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains."Matthew 24:7-8

Remember March of 2020?

COVID-19 shut down the entire world.

Within weeks, more than half the people on earth were ordered to stay inside their homes. Churches locked their doors on Easter Sunday. Hospitals parked refrigerated trucks outside to hold the dead.

More than seven million deaths were officially reported worldwide. The World Health Organization estimates the real toll was far higher. In America alone, more than a million people died.

A pestilence. Exactly as He said.

Then, on February 6th, 2023, the ground opened up in Turkey and Syria.

A magnitude 7.8 earthquake hit in the middle of the night, while families were asleep. Nine hours later, a second one, magnitude 7.5, struck again. Whole cities came down. More than fifty thousand people were killed.

It was the deadliest earthquake in Turkey's modern history.

Then the food.

Bird flu wiped out tens of millions of egg-laying hens. By March of 2025, a dozen eggs cost a record $6.23 on average, and stores were limiting how many cartons you could buy. Container ships sat stacked off the coast waiting to unload. Tariffs and trade wars sent grocery bills higher every month.

For the first time in most of our lives, Americans walked into a grocery store and found empty shelves.

Plague. Earthquake. Famine. In various places, one right after another.

Now read what Ezra wrote down more than two thousand years ago.

"The beginning of sorrows and great mournings; the beginning of famine and great death; the beginning of wars, and the powers shall stand in fear... Behold, famine and plague, tribulation and anguish, are sent as scourges for amendment."2 Esdras 16:18-19

Famine. Plague. Great death.

And look at the very first words. "The beginning of sorrows." Open a King James Bible to Matthew 24:8 and you will find those same four words coming out of the mouth of Jesus, word for word.

Esdras even tells you what it means when you see it: "When there shall be seen earthquakes and uproars of the people in the world: Then shalt thou well understand, that the most High spake of those things" (2 Esdras 9:3-4).

This book was in the first King James Bible. And in 1826, it was taken out.

Sign #3: Deception And False Messiahs

The Adoration of the Golden Calf
Nicolas Poussin, The Adoration of the Golden Calf (1633–34).
"For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible."Matthew 24:24

Read that verse again. He didn't say they would deceive the world.

He said the elect. Church people. Bible readers. You and me.

He said this to His own apostles, privately, on the Mount of Olives, after they asked Him what the sign of the end would be (Matthew 24:3). The twelve men who had watched Him raise the dead. The hardest men on earth to fool.

John was sitting there that day, and years later he wrote it plainly: "Even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time" (1 John 2:18).

They have already come. You lived through three of them.

  1. 1978JonestownThis is where the phrase "drinking the Kool-Aid" comes from. Nine hundred Americans died in one afternoon because Jim Jones told them he was Jesus returned.
  2. 1993WacoYou watched this one end on live television. David Koresh had told the seventy-six people inside that he was the Lamb of Revelation.

Jesus listed this one first. Before the wars, before the famines, before the earthquakes, the first words out of His mouth in Matthew 24 were "See to it that no one deceives you."

Those three are only the ones that made the news. There have been hundreds of others, and there are men doing it right now with bigger audiences than any of them ever had.

Because deception just got a weapon no century before ours had. AI.

AI writes the sermon. AI builds the preacher: a face that has never existed, a voice that sounds like a man you have trusted for twenty years. AI can put your own pastor on video saying something he never said, and you will not be able to tell.

There are already "Bibles" for sale online that no human being ever translated. AI-generated text scraped off the internet, chapters missing, verses reworded, printed and bound and shipped to Christians who will never know the difference.

That is what deceiving the very elect looks like in our lifetime. Not a man in a robe. A book in your hands that is almost right.

Ezra described exactly what it would feel like to live in a world like that.

"Then shall wit hide itself, and understanding withdraw itself into his secret chamber, and shall be sought of many, and yet not be found."2 Esdras 5:9-10

Everyone searching for the truth. Almost nobody able to find it.

Which is exactly why it matters what your Bible is missing.

Sign #4: Persecution, And The Love Of Many Growing Cold

The Christian Martyrs Last Prayer
Jean-Léon Gérôme, The Christian Martyrs' Last Prayer (1883).
"Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another... Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold."Matthew 24:9-12

Right now, somewhere in the world, a church is being burned.

In Nigeria, in China, in North Korea, hundreds of millions of Christians live where believing can cost them their home, their job, or their life.

And here at home, it's quieter. But you can feel it.

Faith mocked on television. Neighbors who don't know each other's names. Families that stopped speaking and never started again.

The love of many, growing cold.

Esdras saw both.

"At that time shall friends fight one against another like enemies."2 Esdras 6:24
"For there shall be in every place, and in the next cities, a great insurrection upon those that fear the Lord. They shall be like mad men, sparing none, but still spoiling and destroying those that fear the Lord."2 Esdras 16:70-71

The Part That Stops People Cold

The books called Apocrypha, the fourteen books bound in the 1611 King James Bible
The fourteen books that sat under that heading in every King James Bible from 1611 until 1826.

Every one of those four signs is in Matthew 24.

And every one of them is also written, in more detail, in a book that was taken out of your Bible.

Second Esdras was in the first King James Bible. It wasn't alone. The 1611 King James had 80 books, not 66. Fourteen of them sat between the Old and New Testaments, under the heading "Apocrypha," and Christians had been reading them for more than fifteen hundred years before that.

Then, in 1826, the British and Foreign Bible Society voted that not one penny of its money would ever again print them. The American Bible Society followed in 1828. Two reasons were given: that these books should not be used to settle doctrine, and that a Bible without them was cheaper to print. Fewer pages, less ink, millions more copies for the same money.

Fourteen books, cut out of the Bible to save paper.

Don't take our word for it. Search "Apocrypha Controversy 1826" and read it yourself. It opens in a new tab, so this page stays right here.

And here is what Esdras had warned, word for word:

"The way of truth shall be hidden, and the land shall be barren of faith."2 Esdras 5:1

The book that warned the way of truth would be hidden... was hidden.

Nobody asked your grandmother. A few men in a room decided which books the rest of us would be handed.

The Book of Enoch, which Jude quotes word for word (Jude 14), says in its very first chapter who it was written for: "Not for this generation, but for a remote one which is for to come" (Enoch 1:2). It was left out of the Western Bible for more than a thousand years.

One church never took any of them out. The Ethiopian Bible still has Esdras, Enoch and Jubilees today.

They Didn't Disappear

In 1947, in the caves at Qumran above the Dead Sea, pieces of eleven different copies of Enoch and more than a dozen copies of Jubilees were found, the oldest of them copied by hand before Jesus was born.

And the Ethiopian church, which traces its faith to the official Philip baptized in Acts chapter 8, never took any of them out. It has kept 88 books for more than fifteen hundred years.

Men decided which books you'd be handed. God decided which ones would survive.

What The Days Of Noah Actually Were

Gustave Dore, The Deluge
Gustave Doré, The Deluge (1866).

Jesus pointed us to the days of Noah as if we'd know exactly what He meant. Genesis gives those days a handful of verses. Enoch gives them chapters.

And it records that God warned Noah before the rain, not after: "Go to Noah and tell him in my name 'Hide thyself!' and reveal to him the end that is approaching" (Enoch 10:2).

Everybody else "were oblivious until the flood came and swept them all away" (Matthew 24:39). They weren't monsters. They were busy.

How To Fight Back

Most people spend their time worrying about what might happen.

Very few spend any time getting ready for it.

They'll watch every headline. They'll argue about prophecy online. But they've never read a single word of what Esdras and Enoch wrote about these exact days.

Because nobody ever handed them those books.

Not Afraid. Awake.

In Matthew 25, ten virgins wait for the bridegroom. "When the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep." All ten. The wise ones slept too.

The only difference was what they had with them when the cry came at midnight. Five had oil. Five had to go and buy it, and while they were gone, the door was shut.

No one is asking you to know the hour. Just to have oil in your lamp.
