Prophecy Watch: May 18, 2026, and Beyond

 

Back in July of 2025, I had what I believe to be an out of the ordinary experience with the number 109, which I think may be pointing to an event(s) on or after a day in the near future—May 18, 2026. Here is some of what I wrote about the 109 experience in the past.

 

Based on a triple 109 prophetic sign at odds over 36 billion to 1 a watch was issued for 10/9/2025. The watch date was fulfilled by the major prophetic event that occurred on 10/9/2025—the signing of the peace treaty.

 

In the post, The Great Tribulation at 36.5 Billion to One I detailed an experience that I had where I had three 109s appear on my car display. Here is part of what I wrote.

 

BTW, my 109-experience happened on 7/15/2025. And from 4/19/2025 to 7/15/2025 (incl) is 88 days. And 7/15/2025 is the midpoint date between 4/19/2025 and 10/9/2025 (109).

 

Was God sending us a message?

 

Is it pointing to an event on 10/9/2025?

 

And what happened on 10/9/2025? One of the most prophetically important events in the last several years occurred—the signing of the peace treaty. This event and its ramifications were discussed in this post; Shocking Prophecy Alert: Has the Daniel 9:27 Peace Treaty Prophecy Been Fulfilled? 

 

I wonder if it could point to anything else.

 

So, 10/9/2025 proved to be an important date especially in light of the fact that on 10/13/2025 the peace treaty was expanded and signed by many nations. I believe this signing with “the many” partially fulfilled the Dan 9:27 prophecy. 

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Dan 9:27 

Now let’s see if the 109 and the 10/9/2025 date could point to anything else in the future? How about 222 days from 10/9/2025 which is 5/18/2026? Check out this video (HT Olli).

 

Let me refresh your memory about something; 222 is encoded on the dollar bill and was the time on the old hundred-dollar bill that looks like this when folded in the esoteric way.

 

So, is the 109-experience pointing to a major event on 5/18/2026? As always time will tell. And if it is, what could it be pointing to? The movie “Leave the World Behind” which was mentioned in the video above, features NYC being bombed and a knockout of communications, internet, and microwave attacks. Donnie Darko alludes to “the end of the world.” 

And we have this left in the comments of a previous post: 

December 5, 2022

Israel's president and UAE president meet to talk about the Abraham accords.

 

490 days before Dec 5, 2022, was August 2, 2021.

August 2, 2021, was 1335 days after Trump declared Jerusalem Israel's capital on December 5/6, 2017.

 

1335 days before December 5/6, 2017, was April 10/11, 2014. 5 days before the first blood moon.

 

1335 days before December 5, 2022, was April 10/11, 2019.

 

April 10/11, 2019, they had early elections in Israel for Netanyahu and on the 11Th and Israeli space craft crashed on the moon.

 

The announcement to change the election came on December 25, 2018.

 

December 25, 2018, was 490 days after the first great American eclipse.

 

490 days after December 5, 2022, was April 8, 2024, the last great American eclipse.

 

1260 days after December 5, 2022, will be May 18, 2026, a watch day.

 

Conclusion: 

Is 5/18/2026 the date that has been signaled in several pieces of predictive programming? And will 5/18/2026, which is 222 days past 10/9/2025, be the day of a major event(s) or a time marker after which major events will occur? As always time will tell. 

And since 10/9/2025 also pointed to 10/13/2025, which was 4 days later, I believe we should also watch 5/22/2026, which would be 222 days from 10/13/2025. (Note: all days are +- a day for time zones) 

However regardless of what happens on or after May 18, 2026, the big takeaway is that if the 10/13/2025 peace treaty was the peace treaty of the Dan 9:27 prophecy, which I believe it was, then we are in the last 7 years now and between now and the midpoint in the spring of 2029 we will see the 4 horses of the apocalypse run their course, the antichrist come onto the scene, and the issuing of the mark of the beast.

Is the Rapture Imminent? NO!!!!

 

Is the rapture imminent, can Jesus come back today?

 

NO, JESUS CANNOT COME BACK TODAY!!!

 

God tells us that certain things must occur before Jesus can come back at the rapture. Those things have not happened yet; therefore, Jesus cannot come back today or any other day until those things occur.

God clearly tells us this in His Word; the Thessalonians incorrectly thought they missed the rapture, or that it was about to occur—that it was imminent. Here is what God through the apostle Paul told them.

1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 2 Thes 2.

What did God tell them about the imminence of the rapture? “…be not soon shaken in mind…as that the day of Christ is at hand.” In other words, the Day of Christ, which is the rapture event, is NOT at hand—NOT IMMINENT! God told them the rapture cannot happen yet because certain things have to occur first.

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 2 Thes 2.

What does God say must happen before the rapture takes place at the Day of Christ? The “falling away” must occur first, the man of sin—the antichrist—be revealed and the abomination of desolation occur—proclaims himself to be god in the Temple.

1.   Falling away. 

2.   antichrist revealed. 

3.   Abomination of desolation.

 

All of that must occur before the day of Christ—the rapture—is at hand or imminent! Those things have not occurred, therefore there is no imminence, and Christ cannot come back today.

So, when you hear someone say or infer that Jesus can come back today, try to help them understand that He cannot. BTW, the belief in Imminence is a major pillar to the pre-tribulation rapture theory, when that pillar is removed the theory falls apart.

I hope you realize that Jesus CANNOT come back today; after we see the falling away, the abomination of desolation, and the antichrist take over the world, then we can say the rapture is imminent. And when you see Seal 6 opened—the sun darkened, the moon turned to blood, and the stars fall—then go outside and look up, because Jesus will appear in the sky and bring you home.

"Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man." — Luke 21:36

Don’t Take the Mark!

One day in the near future all the people of the world will be faced with a choice of receiving a biometric I.D. implant in their right hand or forehead. The Bible calls this implant "the Mark" and tells us that no one will be able to buy or sell without the mark. 

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

 

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Rev 13:16,17 

The Bible also tells us that all who take the mark will be doomed to hell. 

9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

 

10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

 

11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Rev 14:9-11 

If the last 7 years began on 10/13/2025, which I believe it did, then the choice of whether or not to take the mark will come about in 2029. 

Don't take the mark! 

Here is a song by Peace Light that would be great to share with others, which will enlighten and warn them of the dangers of taking the mark—it will land someone in hell. 

"Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man." — Luke 21:36

When Does God’s Wrath Begin?

 

 

Over the years I have heard many prophecy sermons and read prophecy articles that have put forth the idea that the rapture occurs before God’s wrath is poured out. I agree with this premise, for it is clearly stated in scripture that Christians will not be subject to God’s wrath and thus, the rapture must occur before God’s wrath.

 

For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 1 Thes 5:9.

 

Where I differ with most other preachers is the timing of when God’s wrath begins. Most preachers believe that the wrath of God begins with the opening of Seal 1.

 

That is impossible.

 

Here is why; If God’s wrath begins at Seal 1, as they believe, then Seal 5 would be part of God’s wrath too. But Seal 5 is the persecution of Jews and Christians. God’s wrath does not include the persecution of Jews and Christians.

 

And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

 

And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

 

And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. Rev 6:9-11

 

Therefore, God’s wrath cannot begin until after Seal 5, because God’s wrath cannot be poured out upon His children. And that is exactly what scripture tells us, that God’s wrath begins after Seal 5 at the opening of Seal 6.

 

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal…For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? Rev 6:12,17

 

So, I pretty much believe exactly the same as the pretribulation preachers, I just differ on when God’s wrath begins and thus when the rapture occurs. 

They say God’s wrath begins at Seal 1, which I showed was a scriptural impossibility. I say that since Seal 5 includes the persecution of Jews and Christians, God’s wrath cannot start until after Seal 5 because God’s children cannot be subject to His wrath. 

Therefore, the rapture which occurs before God’s wrath must occur after the opening of Seal 6. And that is exactly what God’s Word tells us—that the rapture occurs after the opening of Seal 6, that is why the people of the earth hide in the dens and caves, because they see Jesus in the sky at the rapture event.

 

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

 

And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

 

And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

 

And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

 

And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

 

For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? Rev 6:12-17

 

Here is a summary:

 

Pretribulation: God’s wrath begins at Seal 1 and continues to Armageddon.

 

Prewrath: God’s wrath begins at Seal 6 and continues to Armageddon.

 

Since Seal 5 is the persecution of Jews and Christians, it cannot be part of God’s wrath. Thus, God’s wrath cannot begin until after Seal 5.

 

Thus, the pretribulation rapture theory creates a contradiction and is not correct.

 

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal…For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? Rev 6:12,17

 

Scripture clearly tells us when God’s wrath begins and the rapture occurs—after Seal 6 is opened—why do so few believe it?

 

So, when does God’s wrath begin? God’s Word clearly states it begins after the opening of seal 6—For the great day of His wrath is come. The fact that Seal 5 is the persecution of Jews and Christians supports that fact.

 

Why do so few believe what God’s Word clearly states and continue to adhere to their false pretribulation theory?

"Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man." — Luke 21:36

Behold a White Horse: And He Went Forth Conquering, and to Conquer! Is he the Rider?

 

1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. 

2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. Rev 6:1,2

Is the rider on the white horse going forth conquering? Is he the rider on the white horse? Consider these pieces of data. 

Since October 13, 2025, Donald Trump has directed or overseen military operations and strikes in several countries:

• Syria: Beginning in December 2025, the U.S. launched "Operation Hawkeye Strike" against ISIS targets in central Syria. This was a retaliatory campaign following an attack on U.S. forces in Palmyra.

• Venezuela: On January 3, 2026, the U.S. executed "Operation Absolute Resolve," a major military operation in Caracas that resulted in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.

• Nigeria: On December 25, 2025, the U.S. conducted missile strikes in northwestern Nigeria against Islamic State (ISSP) militants, which the administration stated was coordinated with the Nigerian government.

• Somalia: The U.S. has conducted multiple airstrikes against both ISIS-Somalia and al-Shabaab militants. U.S. Africa Command reported a significant escalation in strikes during the first half of 2026.

• Iran: On February 28, 2026, the U.S. and Israel launched "Operation Epic Fury," a massive joint military campaign against Iran that killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and targeted the country's military and nuclear infrastructure. This sparked the 2026 Iran War, which is currently paused under a fragile ceasefire negotiated in early April 2026.

From a strict foreign policy and geopolitical perspective, the stated intent of these military operations is entirely disconnected from creating or integrating nations into a "one world government." In fact, the current administration's foreign policy is largely rooted in "America First" principles and national sovereignty, which generally opposes yielding power to a centralized global authority.

The operations in places like Iran, Syria, and Venezuela are designed to neutralize immediate security threats, dismantle terrorist networks, or remove hostile leadership rather than merge these nations into a globalist system.

However, when viewing these events through the lens of eschatology or theories regarding global centralization, the outcomes of these conflicts are often viewed differently than their intent:

• Creating a Geopolitical Vacuum: Major military operations, especially those that dismantle state governments (like in Iran or Venezuela), create massive regional instability. In theories regarding global governance, the collapse of sovereign power structures and the resulting chaos are often seen as necessary precursors that create a vacuum.

• The Demand for Global Order: Historically and theoretically, periods of intense, widespread war and economic disruption lead populations and nations to demand a centralized, overarching authority to step in and enforce peace, security, and economic stability.

• Economic Realignment: Operations that disrupt major oil-producing nations or shift global trade routes often force a restructuring of the global economy, which is a key component of theories regarding a unified global system.

In short, while the U.S. military is not conducting these strikes to build a one world government, the resulting destabilization, shifting borders, and the dismantling of old power structures are often interpreted as creating the exact conditions of global crisis that a unified, centralized system would eventually claim to solve.

When you analyze these geopolitical shifts, are you tracking them primarily as a move toward a centralized political and economic authority, or are you looking at them through the framework of a specific prophetic timeline? Source: Gemini

So, are we watching the white horse ride, is he the rider? In pondering that question, we should also keep in mind this piece of data; that America’s “destiny” is to bring about the New World Order and then to have her sovereignty and world power dominance destroyed as explained in Bible prophecy book The Coming Epiphany. 

Why will the NWO turn against America, the very country that was so instrumental in bringing the NWO about? Here is what white magic occultist David Icke said about that. 

The United States may be the world superpower today and that’s precisely what the Illuminati planned for it to be in the agenda for the centralization of global control….

 

But while America is being used now as the vehicle to impose this current stage of the fascist agenda it is not meant to continue as the superpower. In fact, destroying that status and breaking the spirit of America is fundamental in the installation of the Illuminati global dictatorship.

 

The reason is this: a world government (dictatorship) and a superpower do not go together. The Illuminati dictatorship is meant to be the only superpower and for that to happen the United States must be brought into line.^[1] 

This is typical of how satan works. He will come to someone and promise them many things, give them what they want, use them to do his will, and then destroy them. 

And why the date of 10/13/2025? Because that is the date that the many nations gathered to sign the peace deal, and it occurred 2520 days before the feast of Rosh Hashanah in 2032, partially fulfilling the Dan 9:27 prophecy and thus indicating that the last 7 years began. See this post for the data.
