Today I’m talking about something absolutely stunning - the asteroid Apophis and its potential connection to the Bible prophecy about Wormwood (Revelation 8:10–11). NASA confirms this massive asteroid (1,200 feet wide, 20 million metric tons, traveling 28,000 mph) will arrive April 13th, 2029, coming within 20,000 miles of Earth. My dear friend Tom Horn had a prophetic dream years ago hearing “Apophis”—later discovering it’s an ancient Egyptian demon of chaos. Why would NASA choose that name?
Here’s the incredible math: if Apophis represents Revelation chapter 8’s mid-Tribulation asteroid, counting back three and a half years on the Jewish calendar brings us to October 13th, 2025—when the Tribulation could begin. That means the Rapture would happen between now and then, possibly during this year’s Feast of Trumpets (September 22–24). If the seven-year Tribulation runs 2025-2032, Jesus returns exactly 2,000 years after His crucifixion in 32 AD. I’m not setting dates, but this generation must be watching and ready!
In today’s Q&A segment, I address questions from my End Times Answers book and viewer submissions. Questions included: How can someone know they’re truly saved after asking Jesus into their heart hundreds of times? Are the mansions Jesus is preparing in Heaven literal or metaphorical since our resurrection bodies won’t need sleep? Is water baptism required before the Rapture for someone who was only baptized as a baby? Are current digital technologies like iris scanners and AI the Mark of the Beast, and can someone be left behind for not witnessing enough or not hearing the Holy Spirit clearly? These represent the real concerns believers have about salvation assurance, end-times preparation, and spiritual readiness as we watch for Christ’s return.
Three Critical Needs, One Urgent Response
This month, three urgent needs have captured our hearts, and God is calling us to respond with unprecedented generosity. Rather than supporting one organization this month, we’re partnering with three vital organizations that are addressing some of the most pressing needs across Israel. The Israel Air Force Association, Soroka Medical Center, and Brothers in Arms (Hamal).
With your gift of any amount—perhaps $18, $36, $180 or $1800 to honor the Hebrew tradition of “chai” (life)—you’ll receive a complete digital version of Jimmy Evans’ book, Talking to Kids About the End Times: A Brief Guide to an Eternal Conversation.
