Matthew 24 is widely regarded as the most famous prophetic chapter in the Bible.
In this chapter, Jesus delivers a prophecy on the Mount of Olives, foretelling an event known as the Abomination of Desolation.
He warns that when this happens, Jews living in Judea will have to flee for their lives. The urgency will be so great that if you are on your roof, you should not even go back inside to gather your belongings. You must run immediately, for then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world … nor ever will be again.
This is Jesus speaking in Matthew 24, part of the New Testament. Yet most Jewish people are unaware of this prophecy as they don’t study this text. They will be caught off guard when it comes to pass.
Endtime Ministries’ Mission — Someone must Warn the Jews!
At Endtime, we believe God directed us to take on this responsibility in the mid-1990s.
To be honest, when the Lord first spoke this to us, we started coming up with reasons why it seemed impossible.
We do not speak Hebrew. How are we going to get this message into Israel? The Jewish people don’t typically want Christian literature. They probably wouldn’t let us ship it in and it seemed unlikely we would find anyone inside Israel to print it. It would cost a lot of money — maybe $100,000 — and we did not have the funds to make it happen. I don’t know if you have ever tried to argue with God but it is like banging your head against a brick wall.
Deep down we knew we had been given a mission from God. Our late founder, Irvin Baxter, shared this burden in Endtime magazine, asking if anyone would be willing to help us fulfill this calling. At the time, we did not have a radio show or a studio to produce video content.
But soon people started sending donations to help fund the mailing of magazines to the Judea-Samaria region to warn the Jewish people. In just over a year, we received nearly $23,000. Not enough for the entire project but God provided.
In 1998, Irvin received a strong impression that we were meant to send the special mailing to the people of Judea-Samaria with our September-October edition of
Endtime magazine. We could not explain it, but we knew without a doubt that we had to warn the Jewish people about the coming Holocaust and the prophecy of Jesus Christ.
That spring, we took our annual tour to Israel with about 50 people joining us.
We told Yehuda, our Jewish guide of six years, that we needed to visit printers during the tour to get quotes for the magazine shipment. Since the tours were packed with sightseeing and travel, Yehuda immediately said, “There’s no way that’s possible — we don’t have time in our schedule.” We replied, “Yehuda, we have to do this.” He responded, “Let me handle it for you. I used to work in printing before I became a guide. I’ll get the quotes, do the match prints — I’ll take care of everything.”
Little did we know, Yehuda was exactly the person God had assigned to this project.
He had all the right connections in Israel’s printing industry to gather the information we needed quickly. It truly was a miracle.
Within days, we received a quote from one of the largest printers in Jerusalem. In addition, Yehuda had already met with the Postmaster General of Jerusalem and made all the necessary arrangements for distributing the magazines. The obstacles we had once told God made this task impossible seemed to vanish as if they were nothing.
We sent an international wire transfer to Israel to cover the printing and distribution costs. But a week later, we got a call saying the payment had not gone through. The money had been sent, and it was no longer in our account but despite our efforts we could not track it down.
We soon learned that strict policies were in place when wiring money to the Middle East. Fortunately, several weeks later — after verifying we were not funding terrorism —the funds were successfully deposited into the correct account, and the project was back on track.
At this point, as you can imagine, we were feeling quite frustrated. God had given us this mission, yet here we were, more than a month past our deadline. Nothing seemed to be going as planned — every step we took was met with resistance.
Eventually, we decided to hold on to faith, trusting that we were doing our best. Since this was God’s project, we realized things might be unfolding according to His timing just as we had seen in the past.
Finally, on October 20, 1998, we received an email saying, “The magazines are finished and will be delivered to the mailboxes of all the people in Judea-Samaria on October 23.” We were both excited and relieved — after two years of hard work, the project was about to come to fruition!
On the morning of October 23, breaking news hit major outlets. Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, was in the United States trying to negotiate a peace deal with the Palestinians.
On the very same day that our magazines were arriving in the mailboxes of the people living in the West Bank, the headlines read: “Netanyahu to give 27% of West Bank to the Arabs.” Our magazine was sending a warning: “Your leaders are going to sell you out and trade your land for peace.” The settlers were shocked. They could not believe their leaders would make such a decision. They believed this was their Promised Land, and they would never be forced to leave. But our magazine was telling them, according to Bible prophecy, things weren’t going to unfold as they expected.
We were both amazed and deeply assured that God was clearly orchestrating this project! At that time, there were about 150,000 Jews living in the West Bank.
As of January 2024, that number has increased substantially. According to the Jewish Virtual Library, more than 850,000 Jews now reside in the West Bank, including the Old City and eastern neighborhoods of Jerusalem.[i]
God has called us to warn the Jewish people and guide them on how to prepare for what lies ahead. In that issue, we boldly stated an Israeli-Palestinian peace treaty was on the horizon. According to the Bible, a peace agreement would lead to the establishment of a Palestinian state in the area of Judea-Samaria, which is currently known as the West Bank or the occupied territories. This is the land Israel captured during the 1967 War.
In the magazine, we also warned when this peace deal was finalized and Judea became a Palestinian state, the Jewish residents there would face two options: either they would be bought out and relocated to Israel proper or if they chose to stay, they would remain in their homes as a Jewish minority within the new Palestinian state.
In fact, Salam Fayyad, the former Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority, stated, “It’s simple. The Jewish people can stay where they are. We’ll respect their property rights. They can continue their businesses. They can live as a Jewish minority in the newly established Palestinian state.”
After all, there are 1.6 million Arabs living in Israel as a minority within the Israeli state. The argument was, why couldn’t a few hundred thousand Jews live as a minority in the newly formed Palestinian state? The Bible says this is exactly what will happen.
As part of this agreement, according to the Bible, the Temple Mount will be placed under a shared arrangement between Muslims and Jews. Under this plan, the Jewish people will be allowed to worship at the Temple Mount, while Muslims will continue to worship at their sacred sites, the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
This arrangement will be overseen by the International Community. The prophecy also states that during the first 3 ½ years of this agreement, Israel will be permitted to build their Third Temple on the Temple Mount without interfering with the Dome of the Rock or the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Once the Temple is completed, the Jews will begin animal sacrifices. When this happens, there will be strong opposition to the sacrifices.
By then, a recognized global leader will emerge. The Bible refers to this leader as the Antichrist. He will be under immense pressure to resolve this conflict.
The Jews will firmly insist, “We are commanded to offer these sacrifices.” Meanwhile, animal rights’ activists will be vocally protesting, saying, “Animals have rights too.”
Eventually, the Antichrist will declare something like, “I am putting an end to these sacrifices and here’s why: There are rumors circulating that I am your Messiah.
I’ve never admitted it before but it’s true. I am the Messiah. You no longer need these sacrifices.”
The Bible says, “The Antichrist will cause the sacrifices to cease.” Then, he will stand on the Temple Mount, proclaiming himself to be the Messiah. This event is known as the Abomination of Desolation.
When we included this in our magazine, the next logical question was, “What should those in Judea do?” We made it clear from the start we were Christians and the purpose of the magazine was not to proselytize but to warn them of the real danger foretold by Bible prophecy for the people of Judea-Samaria.
We acknowledged that they might not share our faith but we encouraged them to hold on to the magazine and see for themselves whether these things come to pass. The sign they should watch for is the construction of the Third Temple on part of the Temple Mount, at which point they will know that Jesus’ prophecy is true.
Two thousand years ago, Jesus warned the Jews living in Judea: When you see the Abomination of Desolation — an event where the Antichrist stands on the Temple Mount claiming to be the Messiah — then you must flee immediately. There will be Great Tribulation unlike anything the world has ever seen or will ever see again.
If you are on your roof, do not even go inside to grab your clothes. If you are in the field, do not go back to your house to collect your belongings. You must run without hesitation because the Great Tribulation will begin — another Jewish holocaust is coming!
In the magazine we also told the Jews of Judea, “When you reach Jerusalem, look for the signs that say ‘Endtime Prophecy Conference.’ We will meet you there.” We organized this conference with the intention of being there to guide them on what to do next.
The Jews who heed our warning and flee will witness the tragic fate of those who stayed behind, seeing their own brothers, sisters and neighbors slaughtered. They will realize that Jesus saved their physical lives. And in that moment, they may be ready to hear about the eternal life He offers through Jesus Christ.
The following spring, in 1999, we returned to Jerusalem for our annual prophecy tour. A man who had received the magazine reached out to meet with us. He said, “Your magazine has sparked a lot of discussion among us here in the West Bank. Our rabbis are telling us that we need to leave Jerusalem and move to the West Bank — that’s where we’ll be safe. But you’re telling us the opposite of what our rabbis are saying … and most of us believe you’re right and they’re wrong.”
This conversation reassured us once again that our efforts to warn the Jewish people are making a difference. We have a vital mission to help them escape the coming holocaust that Jesus prophesied is on the horizon!
What is Endtime’s Plan?
We have launched the Israel Project which you can learn more about at warnthejews.com. We have already sent a magazine to Judea, but we are far from finished.
Our television show aired in Israel for over a decade before we were canceled by some of the major networks. However, we are soon launching videos aimed specifically at Israel through social media and search engines every day. These videos will warn the people of Israel, teaching them the prophecies of the Bible so they will know what to do when the time comes.
Thanks to insights from digital marketing experts and extensive data, we have estimated that for every $1,000 invested, we can achieve one video view per person in Israel. This means that with just $1,000, we can reach the entire population of Israel.
Of course, we all know that one view is not enough. In fact, advertising companies have spent billions of dollars discovering people need to see an ad seven times before they respond. This typically applies to products like shoes, restaurants or other necessities.
But how many views would it take to reach a Jew with a prophecy from Jesus?
Are seven views enough? I don’t think so. What about 70? Maybe even 70 times seven? We aim to start by reaching this goal at least 1,000 times.
This goal does not intimidate us in the slightest. God has called us to warn the
Jewish people. And God does not face financial challenges. Whether the need is $1,000 or a million dollars, He will provide.
We ask that you prayerfully consider contributing to this mission of warning the Jews. Every amount you can give will go directly toward this effort. For $1,000, you could be responsible for putting a video in front of every Jew in Israel.
Visit warnthejews.com to learn more about giving options, exclusive merchandise, and private events.
We have also established a physical presence in Israel with our Jerusalem Prophecy College where we connect weekly via video conferencing from our studio in Plano to discuss Bible prophecy with a number of Jews.
By God’s provision, we were granted a charter from the Israeli government to open the college on the 12th floor of the CLAL Building in downtown Jerusalem. The building features a 600-seat auditorium where we host conferences and events. From the windows of our college, you can see both the Mount of Olives and the Dome of the Rock.
We are using the Jerusalem Prophecy College as our Israeli headquarters to spread the message of Bible prophecy — because more prophecy will be fulfilled in Jerusalem and Israel than anywhere else on Earth. Most Jewish people do not fully understand the prophecies in the Bible. But we have been called to teach these prophecies and to warn them.
We also plan to send a special edition of Endtime magazine to every home in Israel once the prophesied peace agreement is signed. The cover will boldly declare: “Warning! Final 7 Years to Armageddon Just Began!” and below it, “What to do? See inside.”
The first article will explain the prophecy of the Final Seven Years and what will unfold during this critical period. The next article in the magazine will be directed to the Jews of Judea. It will explain the prophecy of Jesus, warning them of the coming danger and outlining the steps they should take to protect themselves.
In 1998, we sent a magazine to the homes of Judea. However, since the events of the Final Seven Years will impact the entire nation, this time we plan to send the magazine to every home in Israel. The cost for this effort will be around 3 million dollars and we have already raised 2 million dollars toward that goal.
Where are We Now?
- We have launched the Jerusalem Prophecy College to instruct the people of Israel and build in-person community.
- We are rolling out daily videos targeting Israel on social media and search engines.
- We have made arrangements to send a magazine to every home in Israel to warn them of the coming events.
- We are organizing a team to travel to Judea and go door-to-door, personally warning the people of what is ahead. This team already consists of hundreds of people.
- We have helped thousands of Jews make Aliyah, returning from all over the world to Israel and we fully intend to continue this effort.
What is the Next Step?
I am convinced that when we warn the Jews, thousands will flee from Judea. But once they reach Jerusalem, what will they do? They will have lost their jobs, businesses, homes, and most of their possessions. Who will help them?
Imagine that 100,000 Jews are forced to flee Judea when Jesus’ prophecy comes to pass. Who will pay their first month’s rent? Who will feed them? The only people prepared to assist them will be those of us who understand what is coming.
Let’s do the math: If 100,000 Jews escape Judea (a conservative estimate), and we help each of them with just $1,000, that comes to $100 million. When we calculated the total, we thought, “That’s a lot of money!” But it was as though God responded, “If it’s needed, then don’t be afraid to ask me for it.”
To be prepared to help the Jews, we will need to provide not just spiritual guidance but also physical support. That is why we’ve partnered with a well-established organization in Israel that has been helping Jews relocate for decades.
We are also partnering with a reputable humanitarian organization that has established procedures and policies for providing aid in times of crisis. Together, we have assisted thousands of Jews in relocating and establishing themselves in Israel.
For instance, we helped hundreds of Jews fleeing from Muslim-controlled countries to safely move to Israel. When the Russia-Ukraine conflict broke out, we chartered a plane to help Jews leave everything behind and settle in their Promised Land.
Currently, nearly 1.3 million Jews live in Europe where the Antichrist will establish his power base. Every one of them will need to escape before the Great Tribulation begins. Once the Antichrist takes full control, it will be too late for Jews to flee his grasp.
Anti-Semitism around the world, especially in Europe, has risen dramatically. One Jewish rabbi stated that it is like 1938 all over again, referencing the persecution of Jews during the rise of Adolf Hitler. At one anti-Jewish rally, demonstrators chanted, “All Jews must die” and “Hamas, Hamas, Jews to the gas.”
As you can see, we have an urgent and massive task ahead of us to warn and rescue the Jews before it is too late! We are trusting God to provide the resources to help the Jewish people when they need it most.
Help us warn the Jews and support the Judean Jews in their greatest time of need at warnthejews.com.
When we connect with them in Jerusalem, we will say, “Jesus just saved your physical life. Now let us tell you about eternal life through Jesus.” The Bible prophesies that all of Israel will come to salvation through Jesus Christ during the Final Seven Years. Interestingly, the Scriptures specify that the Jews of Judea will be saved first (Zechariah 12:7).
I understand that $100 million is a substantial amount but the need is real and urgent.
