History is accelerating, and while we are living in the end time, key biblical prophecies show that the final events leading to Jesus Christ’s return have not yet fully aligned, giving us time—but not an excuse—to grow spiritually and stay alert. Like the sons of Issachar, we must understand the times and choose now to seek God, live by His truth, and prepare for the coming Kingdom rather than fall into spiritual sleep.

As a new year unfolds, many are asking where today’s world events fit within Bible prophecy—and what God expects of us now. History appears to be accelerating, yet Scripture shows that while we are living in the end time, the final sequence of events leading directly to the return of Jesus Christ has not fully come together. This means we are not to panic or speculate recklessly, but neither are we to drift into spiritual sleep.
In this Beyond Today episode, host Darris McNeely examines what the Bible says about understanding the times and responding wisely, drawing on the example of the sons of Issachar who “had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do” (1 Chronicles 12:32). We look at major prophetic signs that have not yet occurred, including the rise of a final European-centered power, the future decline of American dominance and key events foretold in the books of Daniel and Revelation. Current global developments—especially in Europe, the Middle East, and the United States—help us see where we are not yet in prophecy, while confirming that God’s plan is steadily moving forward.
Most importantly, this program focuses on the personal choices before each of us. Now is the time to stay spiritually awake, seek God’s righteousness, and prepare for the coming Kingdom of God.
