What a pleasant surprise it was to hear that the Living Church of God and Tomorrow’s World were mentioned on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast this past weekend. It might seem an odd combination, to be sure. Mr. Rogan’s popular podcast features its share of four-letter words and discussions about topics that, simply put, you won’t hear much about from Tomorrow’s World.
Yet there, in the very last 60 seconds of a three-hour podcast about any number of topics that Tomorrow’s World would normally have very little to do with, Mr. Rogan’s guest, Sam Tripoli, said he had insight into what is ahead for the Gaza conflict. And when pressed for his sources, Mr. Tripoli told him he had seen it in material from the Living Church of God on the Tomorrow’s World YouTube channel.
Well, we’re happy to have caught his attention! As the end of the age approaches and world conditions line up more and more with what we have long taught out of God’s word, we hope many more begin to pay attention, as well!
For those who heard Mr. Tripoli’s comments and want to understand more, we’ll elaborate in this commentary on each individual topic Mr. Tripoli raised.
It might be a bit premature to say that the current conflict in Gaza will directly result in European control. But, yes, beyond any doubt, Bible prophecy does reveal that Europe will take control of the region with a powerfully strong hand.
That will include control of Jerusalem, itself, and Europe will not merely “lead negotiations” or exert “political influence.” Prophecy is plain that Europe will have an immense military presence there, utterly controlling Jerusalem for the last three-and-a-half years before Jesus Christ returns (Revelation 11:2).
Will the conflict we now see in Gaza lead directly to such a state of affairs? That remains to be seen. But many factors now at play are moving us in that direction.
Yes, the lost ten tribes of ancient Israel are a crucial part of understanding biblical prophecy. The modern nation of Israel represents two of the original twelve tribes that descended from Jacob: primarily Judah and Benjamin, along with those Levites who had lived among them. The name of the Jewish people comes from the Kingdom of Judah, which was formed when ancient Israel split into two kingdoms: Israel to the north, composed of ten tribes, and Judah to the south, composed of two tribes.
The northern ten tribes became lost to history when they were conquered and scattered by the Assyrians. But for biblical prophecy to be fulfilled, they must still exist as real nations today—and they do. God promised that “not the smallest grain” would “fall to the ground” as He sifted the tribes of Israel through their migrations (Amos 9:9), and we can trust Him!
When one examines the prophecies that apply to these ten tribes, where to find them in the world today becomes clear. The United States and the United Kingdom, as well as the other British-descended nations, represent the leading two tribes of those ten: Manasseh and Ephraim.
To prove the truth for yourself, you can read our free study guide The United States and Great Britain in Prophecy, and our program “Ezekiel’s Message Unlocked” makes for a great crash course.
Yes, the nation of Germany is the modern manifestation of the ancient peoples of Assyria—and it will rise to the very highest levels of world leadership once again as the nation behind the long-foretold Beast of Revelation.
We have been proclaiming this prophetic truth for generations, even when Germany was in rubble after World War II. While our detractors continued to laugh, pointing to Germany’s pacifist commitments and lack of a military, we stuck to what the Bible foretold—and, lo and behold, Russia invades Ukraine, President Donald Trump implies that Europe might not be able to count on U.S. military support, and Germany begins pouring money into remilitarization.
Never bet against God—the news always catches up to His proclamations eventually. If you want to learn more, you would be hard pressed to find a better summary than our telecast “The Beast Is Rising.” Also, the latest issue of our free magazine has an article discussing recent prophetic developments in this regard, titled “Europe’s Time Has Come.”
Almost, but not quite right. Mr. Tripoli seems to misstate a bit what the Bible says here, but he comes close. The narrow application of “pagans” was off, because, other than Jesus’ “little flock” (Luke 12:32), the entire world is compromised by paganism and religious corruption. The American and British peoples are no exception—and neither is this world’s “Christianity.”
But, yes, there is a coming conflict in which the German-led “beast” will crush the United States, the United Kingdom, and other British-descended nations. That devastating event is fundamental to the prophesied “great tribulation”—the most harrowing period of time humanity has ever known (Matthew 24:21–22).
If the mention on Joe Rogan’s podcast piqued your interest, you owe it to yourself to dig deeper. Whether you do or don’t, we’ll still be here—preaching the Gospel of Christ’s coming Kingdom and explaining what the Almighty God of the Bible says awaits us in the days ahead. And as always, everything we have, both in print and online, will be completely free, just as Jesus commanded (Matthew 10:8).
