When God Lifts the Curtain: The Middle East and the Coming Rapture

Marking the End Times (02.19.26)

What we’re witnessing right now in the Middle East is monumental. The next few days or weeks will determine the future of the region for years to come—and it’s key to the fulfillment of Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39. President Trump is giving negotiations with Iran every chance, but meaningful concessions seem unlikely. The Iranians are masters of deliberate delay. Since returning from his seventh meeting with President Trump over the past 13 months, Prime Minister Netanyahu has taken bold steps that I believe are flashing red lights—delivering a 60-day ultimatum to Hamas and escalating strikes against Hezbollah. Both Israel and the US are setting the stage before they act. But here’s the infinite difference: God is the ultimate stage setter. He’s sovereign over time and tyrants, and when He gets everything in place, He’ll lift the curtain at the Rapture and everything will swing into action for the End of Days.

In the second half of this week’s program, I answer questions about what’s actually “outside” the New Jerusalem in Revelation chapter 22—and it’s not what many people think—as well as when Tribulation saints will be judged before they reign with Christ in the Millennial Kingdom. I also explain how Daniel chapter 7’s wild beasts parallel the metallic image of Daniel chapter 2, and why these visions picture ancient empires like Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome rather than modern nations like England or Russia.


Bringing Them Home: A Prophetic Partnership

Between now and the end of February, Tipping Point Ministries is partnering with The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews with a goal: bring 25 people home—that’s 5 families of 5. With your help, we can make it happen.

When you give through Tipping Point, you support this partnership and the ongoing work of this ministry. One act of generosity. Two missions moving forward together.

As our thank you, we’ll send you a digital copy of Jimmy Evans’ book, I Am David: 10 Lessons in Greatness from Israel’s Most Famous King. King David’s heart for God and for Israel still echoes today—and so does ours.

The End Times Timeline: God’s Eternal Plan Revealed

This small comprehensive book, The End Times Timeline provides believers with an accessible framework for understanding biblical prophecy. It traces God’s prophetic program from the Old Testament through the eternal state. What’s particularly noteworthy is how current events align with ancient predictions—Israel’s restoration, technological advances enabling global surveillance, and the geopolitical alignment of nations mentioned in Ezekiel 38–39.

The timeline identifies key prophetic milestones: the Rapture preceding the Tribulation, the rise of Antichrist, the rebuilt Temple, and Christ’s Second Coming. While some debate the timing of particular events like the Gog-Magog War, the

overall framework reflects solid Bible research. This resource serves as an excellent tool for both new believers seeking prophetic clarity and mature Christians desiring to understand their place in God’s unfolding plan.
