Have you ever felt like the world is spinning off its axis? Maybe you’ve looked around at global chaos—wars, division, disasters—and thought, What is happening? Dr. David Jeremiah believes the Bible already laid it all out. In this video message, he explores the times we’re living in and how they connect to biblical prophecy. It’s not guesswork. It’s not wild theory. He says it’s all in Scripture—if we’re willing to look.

Europe and the Rise of Global Power

Then he shifts to Europe. Biblical prophecy talks about a revived version of the old Roman Empire rising in the last days. Dr. Jeremiah connects this with the current political and economic developments in Europe. They’re becoming stronger and more unified. And according to prophecy, a world ruler—known as the Antichrist—will rise from this region.

He emphasizes that we won’t know who the Antichrist is unless we’re here after the rapture. The Bible says he won’t be revealed until after that event.

The Rapture: What Christians Are Waiting For

So what is the rapture, exactly? Dr. Jeremiah explains it using 1 Thessalonians 4. It’s a future moment when Jesus comes—not all the way to Earth—but in the sky, and calls believers home. First, the dead in Christ will rise. Then, those who are alive will be caught up to meet Him.

He stresses this is a real event, not a spiritual idea. There will be a shout, a trumpet blast, and suddenly millions of people will vanish. Their bodies will be transformed. Those left behind will face judgment and chaos.

Dr. Jeremiah says plainly: this could happen at any moment. “I’m not looking for the undertaker,” he jokes. “I’m looking for the upper-taker.”

How Should We Live Knowing This?

If all of this biblical prophecy is true—and he believes it is—then how should we live? He offers several points of guidance:

• Stay centered on Christ. Don’t get distracted by the world. Keep your heart focused on Jesus and eternal things.
• Stay committed to Scripture. The Bible is your guide, especially in dark or confusing times.
• Stay compassionate. These are difficult days, yes. But that means it’s a time for Christians to show love and help others. We should be known for how we care—not how we hide from trouble.
• Stay connected to church. Gathering with other believers is more important now than ever. The Bible tells us to meet together “more and more as you see the day approaching.”
• Stay calm. Jesus told His disciples, “Let not your hearts be troubled.” God is still in control. None of this is a surprise to Him.

A Personal Challenge

Dr. Jeremiah ends with a direct question: if you died tonight, would you be ready to stand before God? He urges listeners not to delay. The only sure way to be ready for the end—or even just tomorrow—is to know Jesus Christ as Savior.

“God is preparing a place for you,” he says. “But are you ready to go?”

For Dr. Jeremiah, these aren’t scare tactics. They’re an invitation. The end isn’t the end for those who trust Christ. It’s the beginning of forever.
