March was a month of violence and idolatry. Easter and Purim were celebrated around the world. These ancient pagan practices, that God has warned against, have been rebranded as a way to praise God. This hypocrisy has permeated the world.
There will be a time when the world will learn war no more, but that time is yet to come. Wars raged on in the Middle East, Ukraine and Sudan with violence rising in Haiti. Protests against the wars as well as from farmers looking for a fair means of living brought people to the streets. Disasters, both man-made and weather related impacted lives across the globe.
The following map is a summary of current events related to prophecy. Below the map you will find the event details and relevant Scriptural references. Many people have been taught God’s Word in the past tense. This is incorrect. The teachings and scenarios in the Bible and God’s Word are all prophetic, pointing to a future time, and that time is now.
Hypocrisy
Un-Holy Days – Easter
The World celebrated Easter, also known as Ishtar, on the last day of March. This ancient pagan holiday originates from Babylon yet has been rebranded as the ‘celebration’ of the death and supposed resurrection of Jesus. Many even woke up early to attend a ‘sunrise service’ just like Ezekiel describes!
“He said also unto me, Turn you yet again, and you shalt see greater abominations that they do. Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord’s house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz. Then said he unto me, Have you seen this, O son of man? turn you yet again, and you shall see greater abominations than these. And he brought me into the inner court of the Lord’s house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east; and they worshiped the sun toward the east (towards the rising sun!). Then he said unto me, Have you seen this, O son of man? … they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.”
Ezekiel 8:13-17
This deception is exactly what God and His messengers have been warning against for thousands of years. The same warning has been sounded on this website as well as in our most recent podcasts.
Feasts into Mourning
God said he would turn the feast days of men (not God) into days of mourning, and this Easter was no exception. Forty-five people were killed in Africa when a bus carrying pilgrims to an Easter service plunged into a ravine. An event with significantly lesser consequences was the toppling of a idol on the stage where Pope Francis was participating in the Easter service. In Spain, processions were cancelled due to rain.
“And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.”
Amos 8:10
While expounding on the ‘Easter story’, Pope Francis compared the stone blocking the tomb to the ‘tombstones on our journey through life in all the experiences and situations that rob us of enthusiasm and of the strength to persevere.’ He applied the ‘Easter story’ as if it was a lesson for you and your own day to day tribulations that you may experience in life. This is NOT how you should approach scripture. Scripture is not meant for personal application of your day to day life. There is a much bigger lesson to be learned, and that is, What is the Way and Will of God? You should not apply scripture to support your ways or your will, which is exactly what Francis is teaching. Many treat the Bible as a ‘self-help’ book as opposed to the instructions from God on His Will and His Ways.
Easter is March 31 this year. Here’s why many Christians will wake up before sunrise to celebrate

“Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation (personal application!). For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but God spoke through/by way of men moved by the Holy Spirit (Pure Breath). But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
2 Peter 1:20-2:2
“He that comes from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaks of the earth…”
John 3:31
Idol worship
Easter is full of idolatrous worship practices. This collection of photos from Spain should make that very clear.
“The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands. They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not; They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths. They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusts in them.”
Psalm 135:15-18
“For no artful device of men has led us astray, nor the fruitless labor of scene-painters, a figure smeared with varied colors, The appearance of which leads to desire in fools, and they long for the form of a dead image, that has no breath. Lovers of evil and deserving of such hopes are those who make them and those who feel desire for them and those who worship them… For he has not recognized the One who formed him, and inspired him with an active soul, and breathed into him the breath of life. But they consider our existence play, and life a lucrative fair, for they say, ‘One must make money any way one can, even by evil.’”
Wisdom of Solomon 15:4-12
Un-Holy Days – Purim
Purim is another Holiday celebrated in March. It is a ‘holiday’ tied to the Book of Esther, which has been questioned by Hebrew and Christian scholars for centuries. This podcast does a deep-dive into the Book of Esther and the connections to Purim. Amazingly, today many recognize the Book of Esther as being out of place with the rest of scripture, yet they still cling to it so they can celebrate Purim!

“Your new moons and your appointed feasts My soul hates: they are a trouble unto Me; I am weary to bear them. And when you spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when you make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;”
Isaiah 1:14-16
Spiritual Wickedness in High Places
Donald Trump has taken to selling ‘God Bless the USA’ Bible’s. He says it is his favorite book. For a mere $59.99 you can have your own copy. Now, this is nothing but a politician blatantly using God’s Word to make merchandise out of you. God is not blessing America, and in fact He is against the violence and idolatrous ways that permeate this country.

Thieves Found in the Temple
“…Jesus went up to Jerusalem, And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.”
John 2:13-16
“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil/wrongly spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingers not, and their damnation slumbers not.”
2 Peter 2:1-3
Found to Be Liars
In Jerusalem, the ‘miracle’ of Holy Fire supposedly occurs when ‘flames emerge on Great Saturday, the day before Easter at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, where Jesus is said to have been resurrected.’ The fire supposedly ignites on its own according to ‘tradition among Greek laity.’ From there, the fire is ‘blessed’ by the Patriarch of Jerusalem and then taken by the Greek air force to Greece.
A Greek journalist, after five years of litigation, has finally cleared his name for publishing a book stating that the priests light the fire, in other words, there is no ‘miracle’ of Holy Fire. Back in 2019, when the book exposing the fire fraud was published, the Greek Orthodox church got fired up themselves. They opened a civil and criminal case against the author and publisher ‘charging them with defamation, confidentiality violations and personal data violations.’ Among damages sighted was the concern that the ‘Orthodox faithful would be led to doubt their priests’ and rightfully so! Five years later the church has had to admit that there wasn’t a fire miracle at all. Now, the next step should be to question everything else taught by those false prophets!
Five years after challenging miracle of Holy Fire, Greek journalist is acquitted
“I know your works, and your labor, and your patience, and how you can not bear them which are evil: and you have tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and have found them liars:“
Revelation 2:2
“[Most things] in the world, as long as their [inner parts] are hidden, stand upright and live. [If they are revealed] they die, as is illustrated by the visible man: [as long as] the intestines of the man are hidden, the man is alive; when his intestines are exposed and come out of him, the man will die. So also with the tree: while its root is hidden it sprouts and grows. If its root is exposed, the tree dries up. … For so long as the root of wickedness is hidden, it is strong. But when it is recognized it is dissolved. When it is revealed it perishes. That is why the word says, “Already the ax is laid at the root of the trees” (Matthew 3:10). It will not merely cut– what is cut sprouts again–but the ax penetrates deeply until it brings up the root. Jesus pulled out the root of the whole place, while others did it only partially…”
The Gospel of Philip :97 (Found in the Nag Hammadi Library)
Scandals
Sex Abuse Scandals
The Supreme Court for the State of Louisiana voted 4-3 against a law that would have allowed sexual abuse victims to file cases past the standard statute of limitations. The law had already been supported by over 200 elected officials. Supporters of the law may take the case to the US Supreme Court. Twenty-four other states have already passed such laws.
The sexual abuse scandal in the Roman Catholic Church is not limited to abuse by priests. Often overlooked are the victims of abuse by nuns. This part of the scandal is just gaining awareness.
In France, a report on the ongoing reparations program for victims of child abuse by the Roman Catholic Church documented 1350 victims have reported being abused. This is a small number of those estimated to have been abused in France, a staggering 330,000 children.

Wars and Rumors of Wars
President Biden started and ended his 2024 State of the Union speech by addressing ongoing US-funded oversees wars. Regarding Ukraine, he forcefully proclaimed there was ‘no other path’ to peace other than to continue to arm Ukraine. When two bullies are fighting in a playground do you hand them both weapons to continue the battle or break them apart before someone gets hurt? America has chosen to arm the world.
Israel-Hamas War
The US continued to arm the State of Israel with promises of more bombs and jets worth ‘billions’ of tax-payer dollars. This was after a UN rights expert called for an Israel arms embargo. It was also brought to light that the Biden administration has made more than 100 sales of weapons to Israel without getting congressional oversight because each individual sale was below the values that require approval. Israel continues it’s bombings and airstrikes of Gaza, Syria and Lebanon. The UN security council demanded an immediate ceasefire which was immediately ignored.
Meanwhile, UN International Court of Justice ordered Israel to unblock Gaza food aid citing that ‘Famine is setting in.’ Food aid air-drops were started in March. Unfortunately, at least 12 Gazan’s drowned trying to reach the aid dropped near a beach.
In Israel, the Supreme Court ‘ordered an end to government subsidies… for many ultra-Orthodox men who do not serve in the army.’ One of Netanyahu’s political rivals, Gantz, said the court’s decision recognized ‘the need for soldiers during a difficult war, and the need for everyone in our society to take part in the right to serve the country.’ So far 500 Israeli solders have been killed in the conflict. Israel has a mandatory conscription policy for its citizens, but from the founding of the State of Israel, yeshiva students have avoided military service and been granted government stipends for religious studies. The war is changing the citizen’s opinion of this arrangement.
Holocaust Museum
Lastly, A Holocaust museum was opened in Amsterdam this past March. Over 100,000 Jews were killed by the Nazi’s in world War II. The Israeli President, Isaac Herzog, attended the opening and was met with protestors shouting ‘ceasefire now.’ Herzog said the museum sent ‘a clear and powerful statement: remember the horrors born of hatred, antisemitism and racism and never again allow them to flourish.’ He continued, ‘Unfortunately never again is now, right now. Because right now, hatred and antisemitism are flourishing worldwide and we must fight it together.’ Amsterdam is less than an hour away from the Hague where the International Court of Justice has brought a case accusing Israel of committing genocide. At the end of March, they issued a new order requiring Israel to allow aid into Gaza.

“And the Lord was provoked at this and at all the works of the cities of Sodom, for they had abundance of food and had tranquility among them, and still would not sustain the poor and the needy, and in those days their evil doings and sins became great before the Lord.”
Jasher 19:44
“Therefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear/listen, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man is not the righteousness of God.”
James 1:19-20
“The beginning of sorrows and great mourning, the beginning of famine and great death; the beginning of wars, and the powers shall stand in fear; the beginning of evils! what shall I do when these evils shall come? Behold, famine and plague, tribulation, and anguish, are sent as scourges for amendment… For many of them that dwell upon earth shall perish of famine, and the other, that escape the hunger, shall the sword destroy.”
2 Esdras 16:18-22
“And it shall come to pass in the last days… many people shall come and say, ‘Come ye, and let us go up to the Mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, … and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.”
Isaiah 2:2-4
“And the king (leader) shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself… But in his estate (place) shall he honor the god of forces (weapons): and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honor with gold and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.”
Daniel 11:36-38
“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understands, there is none that seeks after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that does good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulcher; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
Romans 3:10-18
Ukraine-Russian War
There is a ‘drone coalition’ or a group of countries sending drones to Ukraine so Ukraine can ‘resolve this conflict on its terms’ as the Australian Defense Minister put it. But where are these drones going? Directly into Russian territory, further prodding Russia into a larger-scale war. As the NATO countries ‘poke the bear’ the majority of the victims of this conflict will continue to be the citizens-turned soldiers of all countries involved.
A Moscow concert hall was attacked by terrorists leading to the deaths of over 130 citizens. Putin has put the blame on Ukraine for the attack, while ISIS has claimed responsibility. Zelensky denies any involvement. Tension between Ukraine and Russia has only risen higher with this event.
In Ukraine, over 1 million citizens were without power after 88 missiles and 63 drones attacked the energy system.

Haiti
Haiti is past the brink of violence and collapse of society. Gangs are reportedly running the capital. Nearly 1,600 US citizens will be evacuated as fighting ‘erupts in wealthy areas.’ The healthcare system is barely hanging on amid the violence. Where are the guns coming from? According to this article, they have been trafficked from the US.

“Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths. The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goes therein shall not know peace.”
Isaiah 59:7-8
Rumors of War
Countries around the world continue to ‘show-off’ their military might. North Korea broadcast Kin Jong-Un overseeing ‘super-large’ rocket launcher drills. The Polish Prime Minister said Europe was entering a ‘prewar’ era and urged countries to increase defense spending. Likewise, Denmark is planing on conscripting women for military service. The proposal is necessary according to the prime minister because ‘We do not rearm because we want war. We are rearming because we want to avoid it.’
Japan announced it will begin selling fighter jets and double its military spending by 2027. Japan has historically been a ‘pacifist nation’ and according to Japan’s Defense Minister ‘Japan will still remain committed to the ‘basic philosophy of a pacifist nation.’

“Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever: That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord: Which say to the seers, ‘See not’; and to the prophets, ‘Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy lies:..’ Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, ‘Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon: Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly at an instant.”
Isaiah 30:8-13
Protests
Thousands took to the streets in cities across the State of Israel to protest against their government. They also called for the removal of Netanyahu. Protests against the Israel-Hamas war interrupted the Australian parliament this month. In the US, the Oscars were delayed when protestors blocked the entrance to the theater.
In Cuba, protests erupted due to electricity cuts and food shortages. In Belgium, farmers continue to protest unfair trading practices, this time by spraying manure, throwing beets and setting hay on fire. Farmers in the UK also protested against the lack of support for food production by holding a ‘go-slow’ tractor rally driving throughout London and past the House of Parliament.
Medical Professors joined doctors on strike in South Korea impacting the health services of the country. Those on strike object to a boost in medical school admissions because it will ‘ruin medical school education’ and ’cause our country’s healthcare system to collapse’ said the president of the Medical Professor’s Association of Korea. Instead, the doctors and professors say authorities should ‘focus on improving pay and working conditions’, a complaint common around the world from workers in many professions. This is yet another example of profits over quality of services, no matter what the service is.

‘The Mark of the Beast’
Digital Currency
SWIFT or The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication is the go-between for over 200 countries central banks and financial institutions. In March, it was announced that SWIFT will launch a digital currency platform within the next year or two. This is a significant step towards a universal digital currency that will undoubtedly be linked to a digital ID. This has all the makings of ‘The Mark of the Beast’.
SWIFT planning launch of new central bank digital currency platform in 12-24 months
Digital Services
Internet outages are becoming more impactful on the day-to-day activities in the digital age. Fourteen countries in Africa were impacted by an Internet outage caused by a failed underwater telecommunication cable. As the world becomes more dependent on the Internet, ‘essential services’ are at risk when the Internet goes down.
In March, a ‘technology outage’ impacted McDonald’s restaurants in the UK, Australia, Japan and China. Consider that the restaurants had food, and customers had money, but the exchange was put to a halt because the technology that tracks ordering transactions was off-line. This is just one example of how the tracking of transactions governs your ability to function in a digital world.
Another weakness in the digital era is vulnerability to ‘cybersecurity attacks’ as experienced in March by many US water systems. Governors across the country were warned to improve their cyber security after that latest cyberattack that had minimal consequences but warned of the potential for larger issues.

Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six (666).”

Tribulation
A Changing Earth
A fishing village in Indonesia was inundated, not with fish, but with trash from strong tides. The village has one of the countries dirtiest beaches as seen in the picture linked here.
Solar panels, often touted as a key to ‘green’ energy are a large contributor to waste when they fail or are replaced. Australia is nearing a ‘tipping point’ from the ‘unprecedented levels of waste’ for panels that have reached their end-of-life. One Australian state, Victoria, has mandated the panels are recycled, but the ‘technology needed to extract valuable materials is not available’. Solar panels are depleting the silver reserves around the world.
In Australia, a ‘wildly toxic’ chemical used to curtail fire ants is now poisoning waterways and native fauna. The chemical, Fipronil, is a nerve agent that has already been banned in the EU, China, Vietnam and California. It is known to be deadly to bees, a species susceptible to many pesticides, which is critical for the food system of the planet.

Man’s Work Destroys Men
Study’s and reports from around the world continue to identify the hazardous impacts on the ‘developments’ by humans. Women living near cobalt mines are now found to have reproductive issues. Cobalt is a component of batteries, including the ones required for electric vehicles. Women’s lives are being negatively impacted in the name of ‘green’ energy.

Migration
Immigration is a global issue as people flee countries in war, famine or violence. A mass grave of 65 or more people was found in Libya. It is believed the deceased were migrants being smuggled across the desert. Libya has seen ‘a decade of violent instability since the 2011 overthrow and killing of the dictator Muammar Qaddafi in a NATO backed uprising…’

Kidnappings
In Nigeria, kidnappings at schools are not a new occurrence. This form of terror often ends when ransom payments are made to the abductors. Between June 2022 and July 2023 3,620 people were abducted in Nigeria. Some of those are still being held.
Nigeria sends troops to rescue more than 250 kidnapped schoolchildren
Cost-Of-Living
The term ‘cost-of-living’ should give one pause. Should there be such a thing? When God created the planet and the humans on it, did He also establish a ‘cost-of-living’ for the world? No! The whole thing is absurd and points to the complete ignorance of God’s Will. He created the planet to support all of its inhabitants. Not as a place to become ‘wage-slaves’ through exploitation and destruction of the planet.
In the world as we now know it, there is a cost-of-living and it is on the rise. As that cost increases so does the separation between the rich and poor which is an inequity that is completely against God’s Will. Crime in the Australian state of Victoria has risen 39% due to the ‘cost-of-living’ crisis. This trend is true world-wide. Many now have two or more jobs to make ends meet, leaving only rare opportunities to rest and enjoy the planet we live on.

Extreme Weather
Solar Weather
The sun continued to blast solar flares out into space. In March there were 2 X-class solar flares and 48 M-Class flares, one of which was a 9.4 magnitude, almost and X-class flare.

Wildfires, Volcanoes, Heatwaves & Drought
West Africa reached a heat index of 122F (50C) in February, an ongoing trend around the world when a new global record temperature for the month of February was set. In March, South Sudan closed schools, when a two-week heat wave hit temperatures of 113F (45C), so children could stay indoors. In the US, record-breaking temperatures contributed to the ‘hottest ever winter.’ It was 5.4F hotter than the long-term average.

Storms
Throughout the world storms impacted many lives. In Brazil at least 27 perished from flooding. More than 7,000 had to flee their homes. Sumatra Island in Indonesia was inundated with flash floods and a landslide that claimed the lives of at least 19 with more missing. In the US, tornadoes killed nine in the central US.

2 Esdras 15:27
“And he answered and said to me: ‘You also will be preserved until that time, namely until that sign which the Most High will bring about before the inhabitants of the earth at the end of days. When horror seizes the inhabitants of earth, and they fall into many tribulations and further, they fall into great torments. And it will happen that they will say in their thoughts because of their great tribulations, ‘The Mighty One does not anymore remember the earth’; It will happen when they lose hope, that the time will awake.”
2 Baruch 25:1-4
Caught in Unawares
“And take heed to yourself, lest at any time your hearts are overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness1“The serpents are the leaders of the peoples and their wine is their ways.” DD 3:19, and cares of this life, and so that day comes upon you in unawareness. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. You watch therefore, and pray always, that you may be able to escape all these things that shall come to pass and to stand before the Son of Adam.”
Luke 21:34-36
