THE BIBLE BELIEVERS SUNDAY SERVICE: The Last Man Standing
Will You Be The Last Man Standing When The Lord Jesus Comes For His Church And The Good Fight Of Faith Finally Reaches The Finish Line?
The Bible never presents the Christian life as a casual walk through friendly territory; it presents it as a fight, a race, a warfare and a watch. The tragedy is that many men begin with fire in their bones, a Bible in their hand, and a burden in their heart, only to quit somewhere along the way when the wounds, disappointments, temptations and weariness begin to pile up. Some are taken out by sin, some by bitterness, some by pride, some by the love of this present world, and some simply grow tired of standing alone. But Paul’s testimony at the end of his life was not that he had enjoyed an easy road, but that he had stayed in the battle: “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:” That is the cry of the faithful soldier, it is yours today, Christian?
“Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.” 2 Timothy 2:3,4 (KJB)
The question “Who will be the last man standing?” is a searching question for every saved believer here in the closing hours of the Church Age. Will you still be faithful when others walk away? Will you still preach the Book when compromise is easier? Will you still get back up when you fall? Will you still be watching, working and waiting when the Lord Jesus Christ comes for His church? The last man standing will not be the strongest man, the loudest man, or the most gifted man; he will be the faithful man, held up by the Lord, anchored in the Book, washed in the blood, and looking for that blessed hope. The Bible says, “Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.” In a day when so many are quitting by inches, cooling off by degrees, and trading conviction for comfort, may God help us to stay in the fight, rise when we fall, and be found standing at our post when the trumpet sounds!! On this Sunday Service, we ask who will be the last man standing? TO THE FIGHT!!!
The Bible Believers Sunday Service: The Last Man Standing
The Last Man Standing
The Christian life is not merely about starting well, but finishing well. Many men begin the fight, but the Bible places great emphasis on remaining faithful, standing fast, getting back up after failure, and being ready when the Lord Jesus Christ comes for His church. Today we are going to see how ready you are.
We Are In A Fight
Main Text
“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.” 1 Timothy 6:12 (KJB)
Truth
The Christian life is called a fight because there is real opposition. The believer fights the world, the flesh, and the Devil. This is not a playground; it is a battlefield. A man who expects the Christian life to be easy will become discouraged when the pressure comes. And the pressure will come, guaranteed.
Paul does not tell Timothy to admire the fight, study the fight, discuss the fight, or explain the fight. He tells him to fight.
Application
Every saved believer must decide whether they are going to be a spectator or a soldier. The last man standing will not be the man who avoided conflict, but the man who stayed faithful in the conflict. The question is not, “Will I be attacked?” The question is, “Will I still be standing when the attack is over?”
Supporting Verses
“Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.” 2 Timothy 2:3,4 (KJB)
The Enemy Wants You Out Of The Fight
Main Text
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” 1 Peter 5:8 (KJB)
Truth
The Devil does not have to destroy a man physically if he can destroy him spiritually. He works through discouragement, bitterness, pride, lust, fear, compromise, weariness, and offense. Many good men do not quit in one dramatic moment. They drift, cool off, get wounded, become isolated, and slowly lay down their sword.
The enemy knows that a faithful man is dangerous. A man who keeps preaching, keeps praying, keeps witnessing, keeps giving, keeps studying, and keeps standing is a threat to the Devil’s work.
Application
Do not underestimate the attacks that come after years of service. Sometimes the hardest battles are not at the beginning, but after you have been wounded, disappointed, and tired. That is when the Devil whispers, “You have done enough. Let someone else fight now.”
Supporting Verses
“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” 2 Corinthians 2:11 (KJB)
“Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?” Galatians 5:7 (KJB)
III. Good Men Can Fall In The Fight
Main Text
“For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.” Proverbs 24:16 (KJB)
“Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.” Galatians 6:1 (KJB)
Truth
The Bible does not hide the failures of good men. David fell. Peter fell. John Mark faltered. Elijah became discouraged. Moses lost his temper. The difference between a just man and a wicked man is not that the just man never falls. The difference is that the just man gets back up.
Falling is serious, but staying down is deadly. A fall should not become a final testimony.
Application
When a man falls, the Devil says, “You are finished.” The world says, “You’re a hypocrite.” The flesh says, “Might as well quit, no use trying anymore.” But God says, “Get up.”
The last man standing is not necessarily the man who never got knocked down. He is the man who refused to quit after being knocked down.
Supporting Verses
“Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.” Micah 7:8 (KJB)
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.” Psalm 37:23 (KJB)
“Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.” Psalm 37:24 (KJB)
IV. The Danger Is Quitting By Inches
Main Text
“Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.” 2 Timothy 4:10 (KJB)
Truth
Demas is one of the saddest examples in Paul’s ministry. He was once named among Paul’s fellow labourers, but later he forsook Paul because he loved this present world. Many men do not quit because they suddenly hate God. They quit because they begin loving something else more. The world becomes more attractive. The burden becomes too heavy. The cost becomes too high. The reward seems too far away.
Application
A man must guard his affections. What you love will eventually pull you. If you love this present world, sooner or later you will leave the fight. The battle is often lost in the heart before it is seen in the life.
Supporting Verses
“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.” 1 John 2:15-17 (KJB)
V. Faithfulness Is Required
Main Text
“Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.” 1 Corinthians 4:2 (KJB)
Truth
God does not require a man to be famous, popular, impressive, rich, applauded, or accepted by the crowd. He requires him to be faithful. Faithfulness is continuing to do right when nobody claps, nobody notices, and nobody seems to care. The last man standing will be the faithful man. He may not be the most talented. He may not have the largest platform. He may not be the most praised. But he will still be at his post.
Application
Ask yourself: Am I faithful when I am encouraged? Am I faithful when I am discouraged? Am I faithful when people appreciate me? Am I faithful when people misunderstand me? Am I faithful when I am wounded? The true test of a servant is not what he does when the wind is at his back, but what he does when the storm is in his face.
Supporting Verses
“His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.” Matthew 25:21 (KJB)
“Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.” 1 Corinthians 4:1 (KJB)
The Faithful Man Keeps His Eyes On The Finish Line
Main Text
“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:” 2 Timothy 4:7 (KJB)
Truth
Paul did not merely start. He finished. He did not merely fight for a season. He fought a good fight. He did not trade the faith for comfort, popularity, or safety. He kept the faith. The Christian life is a course. Every man has a race to run, a ministry to fulfill, a testimony to keep, and a judgment seat to face.
Application
Do not measure your life by who quits around you. Measure your life by whether you are still following the Lord Jesus Christ. Others may leave. Others may compromise. Others may grow cold. But you must determine, by the grace of God, to finish your course.
Supporting Verses
“For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” 2 Timothy 4:6-8 (KJB)
“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,” Philippians 3:13 (KJB)
“I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:14 (KJB)
VII. The Last Man Standing Is Watching For The Lord
Main Text
“Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.” 1 Corinthians 16:13 (KJB)
Truth
The faithful believer is not merely standing for a cause; he is waiting for a Person. The blessed hope of the born again believer is the appearing of the Lord Jesus Christ at the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church. The entirety of the Christian life is your preparation to meet Him face to face, either by death or through the Rapture, and to stand before Him with your course completed.
That is why the question matters: “Will I remain faithful, ready and standing when the Lord comes for me?” This is not about proving ourselves stronger than other men. It is about being found faithful when our Saviour calls us home.
Application
The Rapture should purify us, steady us, strengthen us, and keep us in the fight. The Lord could come today. He could come before the next sermon, the next podcast, the next article, the next sunrise. Will He find us watching? Will He find us working? Will He find us standing?
Supporting Verses
“Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;” Titus 2:13 (KJB)
“And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.” 1 John 3:2 (KJB)
“And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.” 1 John 2:28 (KJB)
“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17 (KJB)
Closin g Challenge: Will You Be Found Standing?
The question is not merely, “Who started?” Many started. Many preached. Many served. Many gave. Many once stood boldly. But the question that weighs heavy on the heart of a Bible believer is this: Who will still be standing at the end?
- Will I be faithful when others quit?
- Will I get back up when I fall?
- Will I keep fighting when I am tired?
- Will I keep preaching when I am mocked?
- Will I keep serving when I am wounded?
- Will I still be watching when the Lord comes?
The last man standing will not be standing because he was strong in himself. He will be standing because the Lord held him up.
Final Verses
“I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?” Luke 18:8 (KJB)
“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,” Jude 1:24 (KJB)
“Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;” Ephesians 6:14 (KJB)
Final Charge:
Stay in the Book. Stay under the blood. Stay in the fight. If you fall, get back up. If you are wounded, keep going. If others quit, keep standing. The trumpet is closer than it has ever been, and the Lord is looking for faithful men who will still be at their post when He comes. Remember that there are people watching you in the fighting who are struggling, who are thinking of quitting, and what you do will absolutely affect them.
“Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.” John 21:3 (KJB)
The Fellowship Of The Unashamed.
Dr. Robert Morehead Overlake Christian Church in Kirkland, Washington tells the story a young man from Rwanda who was forced by his tribe in 1980 to renounce Christ or face death. He refused to renounce Christ, and he was murdered on the spot. The night before, he had written the following commitment which was found in his room. This is what this unnamed saint wrote:
I am part of the fellowship of the unashamed.
I have Holy Spirit power.
The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I am a disciple of His. I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still.
My past is redeemed. My present makes sense. My future is secure. I’m finished with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, worldly talking, cheap giving, and dwarfed goals.
I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don’t have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, am uplifted by prayer and labor by power.
My pace is set. My gait is fast. My goal is heaven. My road is narrow. My way rough. My companions few. My guide is reliable and my mission is clear.
I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed.
I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, pander at the pool of popularity or meander in the maze of mediocrity.
I won’t give up, shut up, let up, until I’ve stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and preached up for the cause of Christ.
I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go till He comes, give ’til I drop, preach till all know, and work till He stops me. And when He comes for His own, He’ll have no problem recognizing me. My colors will be clear!

The Three Musketeers Of Islam: Saudi Arabia, Turkey And Pakistan Are Building A Military Alliance That Will Soon Find Itself Standing Against Israel And Jerusalem
The Three Musketeers Of Islam: Saudi Arabia, Turkey And Pakistan Are Building A Military Alliance That Will Soon Find Itself Standing Against Israel And Jerusalem
The Telegraph has dubbed the emerging partnership between Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan “The Three Musketeers”, invoking the famous slogan “all for one, one for all,” and there is something almost darkly humorous about the comparison. On the surface, this is being presented as another strategic defense arrangement designed to strengthen regional security in an increasingly unstable world. But when you look at the three nations involved, the military power they represent, their relationship to the Islamic world, and their individual attitudes toward the Jewish state, it becomes increasingly difficult to imagine that Israel will not eventually become one of the primary objects of this alliance.
“For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.” Psalm 83:2 (KJB)
Saudi Arabia brings staggering financial power, enormous influence over the global energy markets and, perhaps most significantly, its position as guardian of Mecca and Medina, the two holiest cities in Islam. Turkey brings one of the largest and most capable military forces in the Muslim world, a rapidly expanding defense industry, advanced drones and missile technology, and a government under Recep Tayyip Erdoğan that has become increasingly hostile toward Israel. Pakistan brings a massive standing army and something that neither Saudi Arabia nor Turkey presently possesses: nuclear weapons. When you combine Saudi money, Turkish military capability and Pakistani nuclear power inside a developing Islamic security structure, you are no longer talking about a meaningless diplomatic photo opportunity. You are looking at the beginnings of a military bloc that has the potential to become enormously consequential, and prophetically deadly.
The leaders involved may insist today that their partnership is defensive, that it is not directed against any particular country and that its purpose is merely to protect their mutual interests. That is precisely the sort of language governments use when military alliances are being assembled. Alliances are rarely formed by announcing on the first day who the eventual enemy will be. Instead, nations construct the framework, establish military cooperation, conduct joint exercises, coordinate intelligence, share weapons technology and build the political relationships necessary for collective action. Then a crisis comes along and reveals what the structure was really capable of becoming. In the Middle East, the crisis that eventually forces everyone to choose a side has a remarkable way of coming back to the same place over and over again: Israel and Jerusalem.
Turkey has already traveled a considerable distance down that road. Erdoğan has spent years positioning himself as one of the loudest defenders of the Palestinian cause while his government’s relationship with Israel has deteriorated dramatically. Pakistan has never recognized the State of Israel at all, and opposition to Israel remains deeply embedded in its political and religious establishment. Saudi Arabia is the most fascinating member of this emerging trio because the kingdom has spent years appearing to move closer to possible normalization with Israel while simultaneously attempting to preserve its leadership position in the Islamic world. The Abraham Accords opened the possibility of an entirely new Middle Eastern security architecture centered around normalization with the Jewish state, and for years Saudi Arabia has been viewed as the ultimate prize of that process. Now Riyadh is simultaneously drawing closer militarily to Turkey and nuclear-armed Pakistan.
That tension cannot continue indefinitely, and Saudi Arabia cannot permanently occupy two geopolitical worlds if those worlds eventually collide. It can pursue commercial cooperation and diplomatic engagement with Israel while regional conditions remain relatively stable, but when the next major confrontation erupts over Gaza, Jerusalem, the Temple Mount, Iran, Lebanon, Syria or some crisis that has not yet appeared on the horizon, Riyadh may find itself forced to decide where its deepest loyalties actually reside. Saudi Arabia is not simply another Arab nation. It occupies a unique position within Islam itself, and the pressure upon the kingdom to stand with the Muslim world against Israel during a sufficiently explosive regional crisis would be tremendous.
That is why I believe the eventual direction of these “Three Musketeers” isn’t overly difficult to see. Turkey is already openly antagonistic toward Israel, Pakistan refuses even to recognize Israel’s existence, and Saudi Arabia is binding itself more closely to both countries militarily. Whatever cordial diplomatic language accompanies the arrangement today, this is a coalition being constructed from nations whose long-term interests and religious identity place them on a collision course with the Jewish state.
This is also where we have to rightly divide the prophetic scriptures and avoid one of the most common errors in modern prophecy teaching. This is not Ezekiel 38. Ezekiel 38 does not describe some Russian, Turkish, Iranian or Muslim coalition attacking modern-day Israel before the Tribulation or during the Church Age. The battle in Ezekiel 38 takes place after the thousand-year reign of Jesus Christ, when Satan is loosed from his prison and goes out to deceive the nations once again, exactly as Revelation 20:7–9 describes. Israel at that time is completely regathered and dwelling safely in unwalled villages without bars or gates because the Prince of Peace Himself has been ruling the earth from Jerusalem for a thousand years. Trying to squeeze today’s Middle Eastern alliances into Ezekiel 38 completely destroys the biblical timeline.
Ezekiel 39 is another matter entirely. Ezekiel 39 describes the great slaughter connected with the Battle of Armageddon at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, corresponding with the scene presented in Revelation 19. The fowls and beasts being summoned to feast upon the slain, the enormous burial operation lasting seven months, the cleansing of the land and the seven years of burning the weapons all belong on the front side of the Millennium, not at the end of it. Ezekiel 39 and Revelation 19 belong together; Ezekiel 38 and Revelation 20 belong together. Those are two entirely different wars separated by at least one thousand years, and confusing them creates an enormous amount of unnecessary prophetic confusion. Understanding that distinction actually makes the present Saudi-Turkish-Pakistani alliance more interesting, not less. The Bible clearly shows that before Jesus Christ returns at the Second Advent, the nations of this world will be increasingly consumed with the controversy surrounding Israel and Jerusalem. The present-day rearrangement of military alliances throughout the Middle East is part of the world being prepared for the events that will ultimately culminate in the Time of Jacob’s Trouble and the Battle of Armageddon described in Revelation 19 and Ezekiel 39.
“And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” Zechariah 12:3 (KJB)
There is the destination toward which the nations are moving. Jerusalem becomes the burdensome stone, and the nations eventually gather themselves against it. Bible prophecy has already shown us the ultimate disposition of the Gentile nations toward Jerusalem, and therefore we should pay very close attention when powerful Islamic countries begin organizing themselves into new military structures capable of acting collectively.
Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan are three very different nations with different political systems, strategic interests and regional priorities, yet Islam provides them with a powerful common identity and Israel provides them with an increasingly obvious common point of tension. Saudi Arabia possesses the money and religious prestige, Turkey possesses tremendous conventional military capability, and Pakistan possesses the Islamic world’s nuclear arsenal. Put those things together and you have the makings of a bloc that could exert tremendous pressure upon Israel when circumstances demand it.
For Saudi Arabia, that moment may ultimately involve choosing between continued rapprochement with Israel through the Abraham Accords and solidarity with an Islamic military bloc built around Ankara and Islamabad. I do not believe Saudi Arabia will ultimately choose Israel when that decision becomes unavoidable. Whatever temporary normalization arrangements may emerge along the way, the prophetic trajectory of the Middle East is not toward the nations embracing Jerusalem and the Jewish people. It is toward increasing pressure, increasing isolation and eventually the gathering of the nations against the land God gave to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
The Telegraph can call them the Three Musketeers and make the story sound almost whimsical, but there is nothing whimsical about an alliance connecting Saudi Arabia, Turkey and nuclear-armed Pakistan. These are three heavyweight Islamic powers creating a framework for collective military action at a moment when the Middle East is being rapidly rearranged and Israel is becoming increasingly isolated. I believe that sooner rather than later, the same leaders who today insist that this new arrangement is aimed at no particular country will find themselves confronted with the Israel question, and when that happens, there should be very little doubt which direction this alliance will move. The military architecture is being constructed now, the crisis that activates it will come later. When it does, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan will not be standing shoulder to shoulder in defense of the Jewish state. They will be standing on the other side as the Bible so clearly declares.

Donald Trump
The Trump Superstore Is Closing Because The People Have Stopped Coming, And It’s The Perfect Metaphor For His Rapidly Collapsing MAGA Presidency
As Trump’s Poll Numbers Collapse And MAGA Voters Walk Away, The Shuttering Trump Superstore Becomes The Perfect Metaphor For A Presidency Built On Broken Promises
Sometimes a single photograph tells the entire story. Standing beside Interstate 40 in Tennessee is a giant red banner announcing that the Trump Superstore is “GOING OUT OF BUSINESS,” with everything marked down 50 percent. It is more than the closing of another roadside novelty shop, far from it. It’s the Trump presidency in one brutally honest picture. Our 16th president Abraham Lincoln is credited with saying “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time”. Trump’s ‘moment in the sun’ appears to be darkening into night, and that’s bad news for the American people as our national ship becomes rudderless.
“Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.” Psalm 146:3 (KJB)
For two years, the Trump Superstore operated as a roadside shrine to the MAGA movement, overflowing with Trump hats, Trump flags, Trump shirts, Trump statues and seemingly every imaginable product capable of carrying the Trump name. During the movement’s high-water mark, people were reportedly lined up outside the door. Today, the merchandise is sitting unwanted on the shelves while the owner desperately attempts to liquidate it.
Owner Bill Hays finally admitted that the store is closing because of a “lack of business.” His employee was even more direct: “We’re not busy anymore.” He described Trump’s popularity as “dwindling, dwindling, dwindling.” That isn’t some fake news Democratic propaganda or liberal media speculation. That assessment came from inside the Trump Superstore itself. The Trump brand is now on clearance, and that makes this store the perfect metaphor for the rapidly collapsing Trump presidency.
You can safely put this on the list of Trump statements that will never happen, like when he said he was going to arrest Obama, expose the truth about the 2020 stolen election, the Epstein List, the drones over NJ, taking control of Greenland, and winning the war with Iran.… pic.twitter.com/SxsMn3fTeL
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) August 18, 2026
The latest Reuters/Ipsos polling places Trump’s approval rating at just 33 percent, with 64 percent disapproving. That is the lowest rating of his current presidency and ties the lowest Ipsos rating of his first term. He returned to Washington with nearly half the country approving of him; now only one-third remains. Even Republican support is cracking: recent Economist/YouGov polling placed his approval among Republicans at 79 percent, down 12 points from January 2025, while those who “strongly approve” have fallen from 68 percent to 48 percent. Those numbers are not collapsing because Americans suddenly developed an aversion to red hats. They are collapsing because millions of people who voted for Trump are discovering that slogans do not pay electric bills, campaign rallies do not fill grocery carts, and promises of prosperity do not lower the price displayed on the gasoline pump.
As of August 18, the national average for regular gasoline is approximately $4.07 per gallon—nearly 93 cents higher than one year ago.
Grocery prices remain painfully elevated as well. The latest Bureau of Labor Statistics report shows food-at-home prices rising another 2.7 percent over the previous year, with fruits and vegetables up 5.1 percent and nonalcoholic beverages up 4.1 percent. Overall consumer prices are 3.4 percent higher. AP-NORC found that 41 percent of American adults are extremely or very concerned about affording groceries, while most households report changing how they shop—buying generic products, abandoning certain items and cutting restaurant spending simply to cover basic necessities. That is the political reality behind the empty Trump Superstore.
MAGA voters were promised lower prices, cheap energy, restored prosperity and an end to endless foreign wars. Instead, they received four-dollar gasoline, stubbornly expensive groceries, another widening Middle Eastern conflict and a president who increasingly seems unable—or unwilling—to understand why his own supporters are angry. People did not buy Trump merchandise merely because they needed another polyester shirt. They bought it because it represented something. It was a declaration of faith in the political promise that Trump would restore the country, drain the swamp, break the globalist system and put the forgotten American worker first. But when belief in the promise disappears, the merchandise becomes clutter.
A $30 Trump hat looks considerably less attractive when gasoline costs more than $4 per gallon. A Trump flag becomes difficult to justify when the grocery bill keeps climbing. A gold-painted Trump statue becomes an absurd luxury when working families are deciding whether to purchase food or place the electric bill on a credit card. The Trump Superstore did not run out of Trump merchandise. It ran out of people willing to believe that owning it still meant something.
There is also a spiritual lesson here for Bible believers. Far too many Christians transformed Donald Trump from a political candidate into some sort of messianic personality. MAGA rallies began resembling religious revivals, political slogans displaced biblical discernment, and any criticism of Trump was treated as an act of apostasy. But Donald Trump is not Jesus Christ. MAGA is not the Church. America is not Israel, and no occupant of the White House can save a nation that has rejected the Book, the blood and the blessed hope.
“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Proverbs 19:2 (KJB)
The Bible warns us plainly, but millions preferred the red hat to the old Book. Now the political merchandise is gathering dust and the movement built around it is discovering that personality cults cannot indefinitely survive broken promises and economic pain. This is not an endorsement of the Democrats, whose godless agenda remains every bit as wicked and destructive as it has always been. It is a warning against turning any politician into a saviour and then refusing to acknowledge reality when his promises collapse. The giant “GOING OUT OF BUSINESS” banner outside the Trump Superstore could just as easily be hanging over the Trump presidency. The excitement is disappearing, the crowds are shrinking, even Republican loyalty is weakening. The polling is collapsing, and the merchandise that once symbolized a political revolution is being dumped at half price.
Trump successfully sold MAGA America a golden age, but it turned out to be a golden age bill of goods. . What his supporters received were higher bills, expensive gasoline, costly groceries and another war. Now they are walking away from the merchandise because they are walking away from the illusion. The Trump Superstore is closing because the customers have disappeared. Unless something changes dramatically, history may record that its massive liquidation banner became the perfect political obituary for the rapidly failing Trump presidency:
GOING OUT OF BUSINESS—EVERYTHING MUST GO. BYE, BYE, MISS AMERICAN PIE.
Now The End Begins is your front line defense against the rising tide of darkness in the last Days before the Rapture of the Church

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: How Moderna Was Created As A DARPA Secret Project To Weaponize COVID And Its Vaccine For Global Subjugation
Follow The Money: DARPA Under Obama Funded Moderna, Fauci’s Agency Helped Develop Its Vaccine, Trump Accelerated It And Biden Used Government Power To Mandate It Across America
Take whatever you’ve been told, whatever you think you know, about the true origins of COVID-19 and the subsequent bioweapon known as the COVID vaccine, and throw it out the window because the truth is the real conspiracy theory. This is a story about a 2009 secret project called ‘LS18’ imagined by shadowy private venture capital firm Flagship Pioneering, and turned over to DARPA who then created the most visible secret government project in American history. By the time it was over, it would involve the governments of presidents Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Donald Trump and NIAID director Anthony Fauci as the star players responsible for bringing it all to pass. What is LS18? Moderna and the COVID vaccine.
“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32 (KJB)
On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, long before COVID-19, the United States government was pouring money into Moderna’s experimental mRNA platform. DARPA awarded Moderna as much as $25 million in 2013 to develop mRNA medicines capable of responding rapidly to natural and engineered biological threats. BARDA later committed money to Moderna’s Zika program before providing a maximum award of $1.4 billion to advance its COVID vaccine through clinical development and FDA licensure. Moderna’s own federal filings acknowledge that its COVID vaccine was developed in collaboration with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases—the agency directed by Anthony Fauci from 1984 through 2022. The government was not standing outside Moderna’s laboratory waiting to evaluate a privately developed product. Government scientists participated in its development. Government agencies funded the trials. The government financed manufacturing. The government purchased the doses. Government officials promoted the injections, and government policies created demand. Federal liability protections shielded the manufacturers. This was not a normal relationship between a government regulator and a private pharmaceutical company. This was an integrated government/corporate MAFIA-style operation.
This was never simply the story of one vaccine or one pharmaceutical company. It’s the all-too true story of what happens when government, medicine, secret military research, corporate profit, media propaganda and emergency authority merge into a single apparatus. It is literally the greatest scandal in American history, and the most deadly coordinated global attack ever conceived and carried out.
- Trump’s Operation Warp Speed supplied the money, military organization and unprecedented acceleration.
- Fauci and NIAID supplied the scientific partnership, institutional authority and public-health messaging.
- Moderna supplied the commercial product and collected billions in revenue.
- Biden supplied the mandates, employment pressure and federal enforcement.
- The media portrayed questioning as dangerous misinformation.
- The pharmaceutical companies received sky-high profits and liability protection.
What did the American people get? Plenty. We received endlessly-shifting bogus guidance, arbitrary restrictions, economic devastation, coerced medical decisions and endless demands to trust officials who repeatedly resisted scrutiny. People who dared to oppose the Moderna machine were blocked, censored, ridiculed and deplatformed. When it was all over and the dust settled, not a single person in government took responsibility for their actions. Delay, Deny, Defend. Today we follow the money trail, you won’t like where it leads, but it will lead you to the truth whether you can receive it or not.

All because of our blessed brother’s work Geoffrey Grider who as the bravery of standing fast forward without fear of claiming the truth of God by the power of his love in Jesus Christ. May God bless you abundantly to the end my dear brother… ROMANS: 8: 36,37,38” Mireille Anderson
- “I met you at the car dealership earlier this year. We spoke briefly, then you handed me a card and told me to check out the website. You left. A few minutes later, you returned to tell me not to forget to look up the website. I told you…” I already did. I already subscribed.” In that short time we spoke, I experienced from you…a total stranger…peace, joy, kindness, gentleness, compassion, and love. I am convinced that God sent you to share the Good News that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. For that, and for the work you are doing for the Kingdom of God, I say…Thank you and God Bless You.” Sonia Merced

- I just want to thank you for the teachings you give every Sunday night on radio. You are such a blessing to me. I absolutely love your way of teaching the scriptures. I don’t have a church where I can have fellowship and teaching, so you have been my teacher for many months now. Thanks God you are there for all of us who have no church to go to. I pray that the Lord will bless you abundantly in your ministry, and your loved ones too. You are such a blessing to me, and many others, in these last days before the rapture. Thank you so much Geoffrey, from the bottom of my heart. May the Lord keep you, until He comes back for us. You are in my prayers.” Donald Godin
