There’s been a report that recently came out that massive amounts of women are being raped within the United Kingdom by immigrants from Islamic lands! France and Germany were also named as nations in which organized rape gangs prey on young women (See:
National Review -
The UK.’s horrific rape gangs).
Terrorism Has Been Prophesied
The ultimate rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), has brought an unprecedented surge of TERRORISM!
Why is there terrorism?
Will having personal weapons in your home solve this unprecedented surge? What about banning Moslems from entering your nation, country, or province? Are there prophecies from the LORD God that tell us that ever-greater violence and terror is coming to the lands of the U.S., the U.K., and also to Europe?
What does God’s living word teach us concerning this? WE NEED TO KNOW!
Well, God’s living word does indeed prophesy concerning TERRORISM. Let us notice some of these prophecies ──
“’ They [the children of Israel] have corrupted themselves; They are not His children, Because of their blemish: A perverse and crooked generation. … 25) The sword shall destroy outside; There shall be terror within For the young man and virgin, The nursing child with the man of gray hairs.’” – Deuteronomy 32:5, 25, NKJV throughout, unless otherwise indicated.
“’ Cry and wail, son of man; For it will be against My people, Against all the princes of Israel. TERRORS including the sword will be against My people; Therefore strike your thigh.’” – Ezekiel 21:12.
“’ Because you disdained all my counsel, And would have none of my rebuke, 26) I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your TERROR comes, 27) When your TERROR comes like a storm, And your destruction comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you.’” – Proverbs 1:25-27.
“’ You have FORSAKEN ME,’ says the LORD, ‘You have gone backward. Therefore I will stretch out My hand against you and destroy you; I am weary of relenting! 7) And I will winnow them with a winnowing fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children; I will destroy My people, Since they do not return from their ways.
8) Their widows will be increased to Me more than the sand of the seas; I will bring against them, Against the mother of the young men, A PLUNDERER AT NOONDAY; I will cause anguish and TERROR to fall on them suddenly.’” – Jeremiah 15:6-8.
Sadly, a great many political, media, and world leaders refuse to believe the LORD God within the living word ── the Holy Bible ── yet we who know and believe what God’s word says understand that even greater TERRORISM is prophesied to occur. Greater terrorism will strike the United States of America and our Anglo-Saxon-descended allies.
We should expect greater division and more violent protests. Within these 21st-century sin-filled overpopulated cities of the world, there is growing a “wickedness of man!” There is growing within the heart of man an evil that will eventually become ‘continual.’ – cf. 2 Timothy 3:1-7.
“’ Make a chain, For the land is filled with crimes of blood, And the city is full of violence. 24) Therefore I will bring the worst of the Gentiles, And they will possess their houses; I will cause the pomp of the strong to cease, And their holy places [their places of worship] shall be defiled.’” – Ezekiel 7:23-24.
Around the world, support for protests has increased, even when the protestors are clearly causing chaos, division, and destruction.
Back in 2017, presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, in one of her first public speeches since losing the election, said to an applauding crowd, “It’s the kinds of things you think about when you take long walks in the woods,” she said. “Resist, insist, persist, enlist.” And now, with the spread of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), we are witness to an increase in organized and paid protestors who are resisting right authority!
And certainly, there can be a time for proper protesting (cf. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8); the protesting that more and more people are participating in is not the proper kind. I protest at times myself ── the way that I protest is that I just don’t have anything to do with a person, a business, or an entity if I disagree with what they stand for or are promoting, or how they have treated me. Certain businesses like Walmart, Target, Taco Bell, and 7-Eleven don’t get my business.
“ … ‘Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.’” – Matthew 12:25.
The United States of America has never been so divided in my lifetime as it is now. And yes, I was 1 year old when the “whole world was watching” the violent protests at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago against the police and their brutality and the Vietnam War.
It’s not only political people that mock, cause division, complain, are corrupted, and defile themselves ── it’s also a growing population that not only engages in these abominations unto the LORD God, but also those who “approve of those who practice them”! – Romans 1:24-32.
The leftist-mainstream media appears to support this division and the systematic breakdown of America and our well-established American values.
Why Is More Terrorism Prophesied?
God’s living word tells us that terror-ism can certainly occur as a result of disobedience to the LORD God ──
“’ But IF you do not obey Me, and do not observe all these commandments, 15) and if you despise My statutes, or if your soul abhors My judgments, so that you do not perform all My commandments, but break My covenant, 16) I also will do this to you: I will even appoint TERROR over you, wasting disease and fever which shall consume the eyes and cause sorrow of heart. And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. 17) I will set My face against you, and you shall be defeated by your enemies. Those who hate you shall reign over you, and you shall flee when no one pursues you.’” – Leviticus 26:14-17.
“’ IN THAT DAY it shall come to pass That the glory of Jacob will wane, … 10) Because you have forgotten the God of your salvation, And have not been mindful of the Rock of your stronghold, Therefore you will plant pleasant plants And set out foreign seedlings; 11) In the day you will make your plant to grow, And in the morning you will make your seed to flourish; But the harvest will be a heap of ruins In the day of grief and desperate sorrow.’” – Isaiah 17:4, 10-11.
This world’s Christianity within the U.S. has declined significantly over the past two decades. The share of U.S. adults that identify as “Christian” has fallen from approximately 78% to around 62-63%, while those who consider themselves “nones” have grown significantly, from 6% to almost 30% of the population. 1 A greater increase of our peoples in the U.S. and our Anglo-Saxon-descended allies (such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand) DO NOT observe or keep the LORD God’s commandments, statutes, ordinances, or judgments. Certainly, the LGBTQ+ community immediately comes to mind.
Friends – we as true Christians are not to be involved (in any way) with this LGBTQ+ agenda or “lifestyle.” Nor are we to condone such activities according to God’s living Word – turn in your Bible if you would to the Book of Romans, chapter 1 –
Verse 18 – “Indeed, the wrath of God is revealed from heaven upon all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness.”
Verse 24 – “While professing themselves to be the wise ones, they became fools.” – and in respect to this passage as well as verse 32 – “Who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who commit such things are worthy of death, not only practice these things themselves, but also approve of those who commit them.” – such ignorant remarks as “Well, I guess I don't deserve to live. 😂” When I had mentioned that many people around the world are condemning Romans 1:22-32.
The overall majority of our peoples within the United States and our allies abroad are involved in practices that God’s living word outright condemns or considers abominable. And we shouldn’t look to our political leaders to reverse any of this. Instead, most politicians (including the far-Left-leaning Democratic Party ── the ‘Democratic Socialists’ are not like your fathers’ Democrats!) either desire to continue the “gains” that the LGBTQ+ community has reached and to continue their ‘Woke’ and DEI agenda or want to continue the “push” to deny a Creator God and His commandments.
And although national repentance is highly unlikely, personal repentance is. The LORD God does have a Plan of protection from a soon-coming ‘great tribulation’ that will come upon the world the likes of which has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be!
Indeed, the brutal murders and torture techniques used by terrorists can certainly be a result of a complex interplay of political, socio-economic, religious extremism, and psychological factors that drive individuals or radical groups to use violence against their fellow man. Also, it’s caused by the ‘evil one ’, Satan the Devil.
“But know this, that IN THE LAST DAYS perilous times will come:
2) For men [mankind] will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3) unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good; 4) traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5) having a form of godliness but denying its power.
And from such people turn away!” – 2 Timothy 3:1-5.
Most terrorists claim to have a form of godliness. They often attempt to justify their evil and vile actions by citing their “holy” texts or “receiving a command from God” or “receiving a blessing from a religious leader.” Acts of religious terrorism are often carried out by those who have a desire to die in a way that makes them appear to be a martyr for their faith ── often claiming that they will be rewarded with 72 virgins.
NUCLEAR TERRORISM
We can’t speak about terror or terrorism without bringing nuclear terrorism into it, because there is frightening, sobering, and yet reassuring news; and it’s important to know the facts, and we NEED to wake up and heed and not be asleep. The Apostle Paul ── under divine inspiration ── wrote that the 11:59 Hour is upon us; we should awake out of sleep; for now is our salvation. And it’s nearer now than when we first believed (Romans 13:11-14). We need to know the facts concerning nuclear terrorism and how it will escalate ── it’s above the heads of every man, woman, and child on planet Earth today.
God’s living word tells us in prophecy what is going to occur. And God’s word is truly the only AUTHORITY that will accurately tell us what lies ahead for our future──what actually is going to occur.
This world passed into the Atomic Age with the Trinity test on July 16th, 1945, in New Mexico, when the very first nuclear device, known as “The Gadget,” was detonated during World War II. 2 This world for the first time was witness to power unheard of before ── the power of the tiny atom, and of the terrific and inconceivable unbelievable power within a single atom. Then, November 1st, 1952, the hydrogen bomb, code-named Ivy Mike, was tested by the United States at Enewetak Atoll in the Marshall Islands. 3
This world entered into this most dangerous of times nearly eighty-one years ago. In fact ── officially the morning of 6 August 1945, at 08:15, the Enola Gay dropped an estimated 141-pound atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan! And in a split second ── and estimates vary greatly ── 66,000 were instantly killed, 69,000 injured, respectively. The Japanese-led reconsiderations estimate the death toll at 140,000 by the end of the year. 4
Now the United States
of America has a B83 variable-yield thermonuclear gravity bomb with a maximum yield of 1.2 megatons of TNT! At least officially. According to some sources, such as the Federation
of American Scientists, the B83 was “retired.” Then, the W88 nuclear warhead on Trident D5LE missile will become the most powerful nuclear weapon in the U.S. arsenal ── at a yield of 475 kilotons. Well, can we say… “semantics”? And I say this because ── according to
NUKEMAP created by Alex Wellerstein, a 475-kiloton nuclear bomb exploding at a height of 200 ft. above the surface of the planet over a major metropolitan city (such as – Washington, D.C), the estimated fatalities would be over 417,000 or more, with injuries totaling upwards of 687,000!
And of course, we have come to know that along with the U.S. ── Russia, the U.K., France, China, India, Pakistan, Israel, and North Korea, all have nuclear weapons! And in the recent meeting with President Donald Trump, Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stated that their nuclear ambition is to finalize by the end of 2027 a plan allowing the use of nuclear “power” again after it was banned almost 40 years ago. Remember ── they were on the wrong side of World War II.
An Age of Terror
Growing terrorist activities have become a common feature on the international scene throughout these years ── and modern terrorism, which involves systematic violence by non-state actors, emerged in the late 19th century. Anarchist movements, which are often motivated by anti-monarchism and revolutionary dreams and ideas, often carried out assassinations of world leaders, including the Russian Tsar, Alexander II (2 March 1855 – 13 March 1881), and U.S. President William McKinley (March 4, 1897 – September 14, 1901). 5
Dr. Yonah Alexander, the Director of the Inter-University Center for Terrorism Studies and Senior Fellow at the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies, said, “The future will depend on society recognizing what are the major threats impacting international stability. We must emphasize active participation across different segments of society, not only in one country, but throughout the world. You cannot have security in a particular state when there’s insecurity in other countries.” 6 Also, to help bring some clarity, Dr Donald Holbrook, an Associate Fellow at International Centre for Counter-Terrorism (ICCT), his findings, unequivocal and significant ── Terrorists do not merely dabble with extremist ideology – they immerse themselves in it. They actively seek out, consume, debate, and even produce ideological content that guides and justifies their actions. 7
Terrorists ── domestic or international ── moreover, and I’m also speaking about protestors that cause civil unrest, chaos, and violence, have become increasingly convinced, and they argue, that violence is necessary against a government that, for the most part, ignores peaceful protests ── are convinced that violence and terrorism pay. According to a 2024 report involving empirical studies showing that terrorists’ policy goals are rarely achieved, leading some to conclude that terrorism doesn’t work. However, they theorize that terrorism can work for its supporters. Supporters are willing to contribute resources to a terrorist organization, thereby increasing the organization’s ability to launch attacks; this can coerce the targeted government to revise its policies in accordance with the supporters’ preferences. 8
Global Terrorism
Truly, a growing number of terrorist acts around the world within the past few years has thrust this evil to the forefront of official and public concern. Here are but a small portion of Islamic terrorist acts ──
- France. December 1985 – September 1986. 1985–86 Paris attacks.
- Israel. July 7, 1989. Tel Aviv–Jerusalem bus 405 suicide attack.
- United States. February 26, 1993. World Trade Center bombing in New York City.
- United States. September 11, 2001. A series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by al-Qaeda.
- Indonesia. October 12, 2002. Bali bombings in the tourist district of Kuta.
- Saudi Arabia. May 12, 2003. Riyadh compound bombings; Al-Qaeda attackers drove three car bombs into residential compounds.
- United Kingdom. July 7, 2005. London bombings – Four suicide bombers attacked London Underground trains.
My Fellow Americans ── It’s the Calm Before the Storm
Islamist terror incidents targeting the United States of America have increased since 2024, with federal and state authorities arresting individuals in seven different incidents on charges related to five unsuccessful plots and two actual attacks. 9
Mahmut Cengiz, PhD, Associate Professor and Research Faculty with the Terrorism Center, warns ── there is a grave risk in 2026 for lone-actors and small-cell attacks that are fueled by overlapping ideological, religious, political, and personal grievance motivations. Patterns observed in 2025 demonstrate that individuals increasingly draw selectively from Salafi-jihadist propaganda, domestic extremist narratives, and contemporary geopolitical grievances. 10
According to the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), as reported in December 2025 testimony before the House Homeland Security Committee, there are about 18,000 known or suspected individuals with ties to jihadist groups — primarily ISIS and Al-Qaeda — who entered the United States during the Biden administration. 11
We should prepare for the worst.
According to the UN Security Council, there are roughly 55 organizations designated as terrorist. Here are five ──
- Jaish-e-Mohammed. A Deobandi-jihadist Pakistani militant group active in Kashmir. Ideology: Deobandi jihadism. Sunni Islamism. Islamic fundamentalism.
- al-Qaeda. Ideology is long listed: Antisemitism. Sunni–Shia alliance.
- Boko Haram. Officially known as Jama'at Ahl al-Sunna li al-Da'wa wa al-Jihad. Ideology: Boko Haramism.
- Islamic State – Sahel Province. Formerly known as the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara (IS-GS). A transnational Islamist militant group adhering to the ideology of Salafi Jihadism.
- The Islamic State. Also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). A transnational Salafi jihadist militant organization and internationally unrecognized quasi-state. Ideology: Daeshism.
Also, notice these terrorist groups that operate in America ──
- The 18th Street gang. A multi-ethnic (largely Mexican and Central American), street gang from Los Angeles, California, with an estimated 30,000–50,000 members between the United States, Mexico, and Central America.
- Al-Andalus Media. The Jihadist propaganda unit for the militant organization Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb that creates video and audio messages for their followers.
- Council on American–Islamic Relations. A Muslim civil rights and advocacy group. In November 2014, CAIR was designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates, which claims that the organization has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
- Gran Grif. In 2022, Gran Grif was found responsible for 80% of reported civilian deaths in the Artibonite department of Haiti. On 27 February 2025, the Dominican Republic designated Gran Grif as a terrorist organization, followed by the United States on 2 May. 12
A Global Islamic Brotherhood
Intelligence sources are saying that many of these diverse terrorist groups have now begun coordinating and combining their operations ── such as sharing weapons, money, training facilities and manpower ── to increase their effectiveness. The “glue” holding together the many unending and diverse terrorist groups is their utter hatred and ideological struggle against the “EVIL THREE” ── Imperialism, Zionism, and Capitalism.
Sadly, as we have increasingly witnessed, many terrorist groups now have the active support of a large swath of the population of the United States. As an example, in 2025 ── 21% of American voters backed Hamas over Israel. According to this 2025 poll, one-quarter of US Democrats supported Hamas. Republicans, 19%, backed the terror group. Among independent voters, the number was 20%. Support for the terrorists was highest among 25- to 34-year-olds, at 32%. In October 2023, shortly after the Hamas invasion of Israel that started a war, 16% of voters sided more with Hamas than Israel. If that doesn’t blow your mind and make you angry ── not much will. 13
The Seattle Times reported in 2001, quoting Dr. Yonah Alexander, whom I spoke of earlier, had stated a clear message: Terrorism will be with us for a long time; the only antidote is “education, education, education.” “There is no end to the imagination of a terrorist,” he said, predicting the next wave of terrorism would be cyberterrorism. “The only way to deal with terrorists is to take the war to them,” he said. 14
We now know that the terrorist “underground” has been discussing attacks on nuclear power stations; poisoning the water supply of major cities; stealing nuclear, chemical and biological warfare material; hijacking oil tankers or large passenger commercial jets; sabotaging strategic communication centers or destroying our national electrical grid.
The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) has released the unclassified version of its 2025 Worldwide Threat Assessment. The report begins:
“The United States is confronting an increasingly complex national security threat environment. In addition to traditional military modernization, developments in artificial intelligence (AI), biotechnology, quantum sciences, microelectronics, space, cyber, and unmanned systems are rapidly transforming the nature of conflict and the global threat landscape. Our adversaries are deepening cooperation, often lending military, diplomatic, and economic support to each other’s conflicts and operations, to circumvent U.S. instruments of power. Transnational criminal organizations and terrorist groups are exploiting geostrategic conditions to evade authorities. Advanced technology also is enabling foreign intelligence services to target our personnel and activities in new ways. The rapid pace of innovation will only accelerate in the coming years, continually generating means for our adversaries to threaten U.S. interests.”
Three key Global Highlights ──
- China is flagged as the long-term pacing challenge, with its military modernization, expanding defense budget, advancements in space and cyber capabilities, and assertive foreign policy all contributing to elevated risk for the U.S. …
- Iran remains a destabilizing force in the Middle East, particularly through its support for proxy groups and direct military activity in the region.
- North Korea is gaining ground in its missile and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs. The assessment describes Pyongyang as being in its strongest strategic position in decades. 15
Many experts fear that there is coming a day when a terrorist group or individual will either steal, buy, or manufacture a nuclear bomb and either use it, or threaten to use it as part of a blackmail scheme, or to maintain hegemony of power. Al Qaeda, Chechnya-based separatists, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Aum Shinrikyo have demonstrated interest in acquiring a nuclear weapon.
“Acquiring these weapons for the defense of Muslims is a religious duty.” – Osama bin Laden (1998).
“We have the right to kill 4 million Americans—2 million of them children and to exile twice as many and wound and cripple hundreds of thousands.” — Al Qaeda spokesman Suleiman Abu Gheith (2002).
“Al Qaeda has tried to acquire or make nuclear weapons for at least ten years…and continues to pursue its strategic goal of obtaining a nuclear capability.” — 9/11 Commission (2004).
A sophisticated terrorist group could make a crude nuclear explosive — capable of destroying the heart of a major city—if it secured enough highly enriched uranium or plutonium. 16
Terrorism, Entertainment for the Masses?
Just like the police chasing a stolen car up the I-710 freeway in downtown East L.A., millions of people get to watch it live on their televisions! Terrorism, too, has become entertainment for the masses. It’s not uncommon to see upwards of half an evening newscast being devoted to the latest terrorist act. I have noticed that YouTube is flooded with videos of commercial plane crashes ── is this the norm? No. A famous and great American broadcast journalist who served as anchorman for the CBS Evening News, Walter Cronkite, once quipped, “News is the aberration, not the norm. It is not the number of aircraft that land safely every day, but it is the one that crashes that makes the news.” Reflecting the belief that the media’s role is to highlight the rare, significant, or the unusual rather than the everyday.
Sadly, with terrorism growing worldwide, there is, without a doubt, plenty of “aberrant” acts for this world’s news mills.
IN THE LAST DAYS perilous times will come
Thank Almighty God Most High ── the majority of our peoples have not been victims of terrorism. Yet, if this world’s experts are correct, more and more of our peoples, on an ever-increasing wider scale, will be touched by terrorism and its effects in the coming years.
This plague of terror, like worldwide epidemics of crime, was prophesied by our LORD God ── through the holy prophets ── centuries ago within the pages of God’s living word. Our Master, Elder Brother, High Priest, and Savior, Jesus Christ, told us that conditions around the world would deteriorate as we near the end of this present evil age ── in the “latter days” mirroring the chaotic and sinful time of Noah ── an abhorrent and violent-filled world (Luke 17:26; Genesis 6:5, 11).
God’s word shows us an 11:59-hour that’s filled with utter lawlessness and hate; a world divided by factions and international disputes and wars; of rampant crime on a scale we have never witnessed since; of outright indiscriminate violence and murder ── all inspired by its author, Satan the Devil, because he knows his time is getting short (Revelation 12:12).
Kingdom of God ── the Only Answer
For as long as Satan the Devil rules from his kingdom on planet Earth, terrorism and violent crime will remain and will increase. WHEN, AND THAT DAY WILL COME, Satan the Devil and all his minions are finally bound for a thousand years (Revelation 20:1-3), and our Lord Jesus’ kingdom is established worldwide, terrorism and violent crime will be a thing of the past, and then lasting peace and harmony among nations will be implemented. In that day, and at that very moment, Satan the Devil’s way ── a way of adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery and witchcraft, hatred, contentions, jealousies, uncontrolled wrath, selfishness, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, will all begin to be replaced with love, peace, joy, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control for our fellowman.
Only the glorious Kingdom of God can truly rescue this world from violence and terror which has plagued us from the beginning of mankind’s history, and which now hangs over every man, woman, and child’s head ── the utter and complete destruction of all civilizations. His implementation of His kingdom is the only real answer. □
