Witches and the occult are celebrated, the Church is falling away, and the signs of the end times surround us in this present evil world
Across the world today, we are witnessing unmistakable signs that the end times foretold in Scripture are rapidly approaching. The open celebration of witchcraft and occultism—especially around Halloween—is one of the clearest outward symptoms of a world turning away from God and toward “seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils”. We are living in the falling away. This Sunday Service was preached live this morning at the Bible Believers Church at the Bookstore in Palatka, Florida.
“Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;) And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia: Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.” Galatians 1:1-7 (KJB)
SUNDAY SERVICE STUDY NOTES: This Present Evil World
This Present Evil World
1. Open Revival of the Occult and Paganism
As I have noted, witches, covens, and pagan rituals have gone mainstream. What used to be hidden is now celebrated — tarot readings on TikTok, witchcraft stores in malls, and even “Christian witches.”
“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.” 1 Timothy 4:1 (KJV)
This verse perfectly describes our generation. People are trading sound doctrine for spiritual deception, preparing the world to receive the coming strong delusion (2 Thessalonians 2:11).
2. Globalism and the Rise of a One-World System
The Bible prophesies that during the Tribulation, a single global government and religion will dominate under the Antichrist and False Prophet (Revelation 13). Today we see global elites openly pushing digital currency, climate mandates, and “world governance” structures that mirror this system in formation.
“And power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.” — Revelation 13:7
The groundwork is being laid right now through the UN, the World Economic Forum, and the global digital ID movement — all preparing for the Beast system to rise once the Church is taken out of the way.
3. Technology and the Mark of the Beast System
The convergence of biometric tracking, AI surveillance, and cashless economies is exactly what Revelation 13 describes.
“And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark.” — Revelation 13:17
The push for digital currency and implanted chips is conditioning the world to accept a mark-based system of control. It’s not the Mark yet — but the infrastructure is already here.
4. Spiritual Deception and the False Church
Apostasy is rampant. Mega-churches preach self-help instead of repentance, and “progressive Christianity” denies sin, hell, and the blood of Christ.
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine… but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears.” — 2 Timothy 4:3
This is the Laodicean Church age — lukewarm, wealthy, and spiritually blind — the final stage of church history before the Rapture (Revelation 3:14–22).
5. Moral Collapse and Days of Noah
Our world is mirroring the Days of Noah and Days of Lot — violent, lawless, and perverse (Genesis 6; Luke 17:26–30).
Gender confusion, open homosexuality, and child corruption are not social issues — they’re spiritual symptoms of a world rejecting its Creator.
“Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.” — Romans 1:22
6. Wars, Rumors, and Global Upheaval
Jesus told us the last days would be marked by wars, pestilences, and earthquakes (Matthew 24). The constant global instability — Israel under threat, the Middle East in turmoil, nations arming for war — are all birth pains pointing toward the coming Time of Jacob’s Trouble (Jeremiah 30:7).
7. Israel: God’s Prophetic Timepiece
The very existence and restoration of Israel in 1948, and the current movements toward rebuilding the Third Temple, are the clearest prophetic signs of all.
Every event in prophecy centers around that little nation — proving that we are nearing the final chapters of God’s plan.
“When ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.” — Matthew 24:33
Steve Jobs On Death
“When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like, “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me. Since then, for the past 33 years, I’ve looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, if today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today? Whenever the answer has been no for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something. Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything, all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure, these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked.” source
“Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.” Hebrews 4:13 (KJB)
“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.” 2 Peter 3:10-13 (KJB)
