Iran, Trump, Europe’s Cowards, Antichrist :: By Ron Ferguson

Andy C

Well-known
The title I have put for this message is the one underneath, but it will not fit on Rapture Ready’s space.

When Men Become Cowards – Great Britain and United States and Europe Today – Middle East Peace? – Coming Antichrist – Prophecy – Who Solves the Iran War?

That certainly is a long title for a message, but we cover a lot of ground. Men become cowards when they are afraid to be bold. Nations become cowards when they are not prepared to do the right thing.

The old Chinese saying heard sometimes is, “We live in interesting times.” But the times we live in are more than that. They are on the verge of becoming prophetic times.

As I write this in March 2026, the world watches Iran and wonders. So much has happened there that some men think prophecy is being fulfilled, but it is not. I said, “They are on the verge of becoming prophetic times,” and that is exactly what I mean.

Do not believe these videos and podcasts on YouTube and Facebook and other places that try to say biblical prophecy is being fulfilled right now. It is not. A war is going on, but it is not prophecy. It is not the Gog/Magog war, nor is it ushering in the Second Coming. Just because it DOES INVOLVE biblical nations, it does not mean prophecy is being fulfilled.

What is happening, as is happening in the whole world, is that the preparations are being put into place. I absolutely do not have time to explore all this, such as the importance of AI, but think of it as the sheep being rounded up to be placed into the pen. Things are falling into place, ready for the first move into final prophetic times.

[A]. THE FIRST THING TO HAPPEN

What is the first move? I know as soon as I mention the Rapture, some dismiss what I say because their churches do not teach the blessed hope, and some are so firmly entrenched in Reformed dogma that they don’t even consider the possibility.

Don’t you think it is really, really amazing that so many denominations base nearly all their teaching on the Apostles’ Creed and think this is the be-all and end-all of biblical teaching? The Nicene/Apostles’ Creed is no more than the tiniest snippet of Christian doctrine and belief.

Those who know their creeds know the Apostles’ Creed ends this way – “From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.”

Let me ask you, “How can you sum up the whole PROPHETIC teaching of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and 13 Minor Prophets and Revelation and many parts of the New Testament in just 12 English words?” Really! Yet millions nail their belief on those 12 words, and steadfastly reject everything else, especially the prophetic books of scripture.

I want to move on. The Rapture is the belief found among Brethren, Baptists, a number of Pentecostal churches, and among some of the Independent churches.

100% agree!
 
From the article:



* When the Rapture happens, THEN the whole prophetic timetable of the last days begins. * What we see in the world right now is the foundation for the Rapture and what follows. Israel has been, and always is, the centerpiece for biblical prophecy, and it is no coincidence that Israel has been in the news almost more than any other nation for many years. God is nudging you to wake up because the time is short.

Do you think this world is deluded? What about Climate Change, the WOKE philosophy, that homosexuality is true love, that children are not born in the right gender, that evolution explains our existence, and that the Big Bang is the origin of everything (dismissing God)?

We are right at the end of our current Church age, which will end any moment with the Rapture. Why can I say that? It is because all is set and ready to feature in the last 7 years until the Second Coming.
 
I agree with his overall premise regarding these days, but I disagree with one of his stats. He says roughly half of Iranians support the ayatollahs. This is not correct according to an Iranian expatriate group that releases surveys under the title Analyzing and Measuring Attitudes in Iran (GAMAAN). It is often cited as a reliable source for inside-Iran polling. But it is also often criticized because it's two founders --Pooyan Tamimi Arab, an assistant professor of religious studies at Utrecht University in the Netherlands, and Ammar Maleki, an assistant professor of comparative politics at Tilburg University in the Netherlands-- are outspoken critics of the Iranian government and therefore, according to the critics, anything they do is biased against the ayatollahs. Weigh that as you will; but here is what GAMAAN's polling shows:
  • Support for the Regime: Studies conducted in 2024 and 2025 indicated that only around 11% to 20% of Iranians support the Islamic Republic and Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
  • Opposition to the Regime: The same surveys found that more than 80% of Iranians want to see an end to the current Islamic Republic, with a majority favoring a transition to a democratic system.
  • Dissatisfaction Levels: Recent reports have shown that public dissatisfaction with the regime's handling of the country is exceptionally high, with some internal surveys cited as finding 92% dissatisfaction.
