CHRIS WICKLAND DECLARES NIGEL FARAGE AS “A NEW CYRUS”

Nigel Farage?

Here is another a prophetic word from Chris Wickland in which he declares that Nigel Farage will be our next Prime Minister and will usher in a new era for Britain.

Wickland’s record already identifies him as a proven false prophet. His repeated first‑person declarations allegedly from the Lord are deeply concerning, particularly for those who accept them uncritically. A claim of this kind cannot be meaningfully tested, as it lacks any time‑specific criteria. What we can assess is his prior track record, which is unreliable. Wickland’s latest diatribe on 26 September 2026, titled 'It’s now too late', makes no reference at all to his earlier prediction that Nigel Farage would become Prime Minister—a conspicuous omission that directly undermines the coherence of his prior claim.1  

The Old Testament gives some valuable pointers about true and false prophecy.

But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.’ And if you say in your heart, ‘How may we know the word that the Lord has not spoken?’— when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word that the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him. (Deuteronomy 18:20-22).

A true prophecy must occur exactly as spoken; one failure is decisive. Deuteronomy 13:1-5 adds that even accurate predictions are invalidated if the prophet promotes syncretism or any departure from exclusive loyalty to Yahweh. Wickland’s ecumenical stance directly contradicts biblical fidelity, and ecumenism is incompatible with genuine prophetic authority. A true prophet of God cannot be ecumenical. In addition, authentic prophecy never contradicts scripture. The Old Testament consistently marks corruption, manipulation, self‑promotion, and reckless speech as indicators of false prophecy (Jeremiah 23; Ezekiel 13). Genuine prophecy is concrete and falsifiable; vague, open‑ended predictions do not meet the biblical standard. Wickland’s pronouncements therefore align with the classic profile of presumptuous speech rather than authentic prophetic authority. 

Wickland: "This prophetic word is called 'Nigel Farage?'. It came to me on the 12th of February 2025. Psalm 8:6 is the base text or the meditation text: 'Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet'. And this is what I believe uh the Lord gave to me today. 'There are times and there are epochs and there are eras. The new era for Britain is coming. One that will change everything for this nation. In the days of great darkness the burning lamps of churches will again shine throughout this land indeed My church will be needed required and instrumental in the years ahead for this nation and indeed the nations. I am raising up a man for this time for this coming season to usher in the new era for this nation. Before I raise him up chaos, chaos everywhere will ensue. Your current leader is going to wreck and destroy this nation, but in part I've allowed this as a sign of my chastisement to this wicked nation. I will show all firsthand what foolish evil half-thought through ideologies will do to this nation and the common man. It will become so stark and abhorrent that many will turn their backs on the new communism of the hour. Many will wake up in the days ahead and come to their senses finally. In that moment of chaos I'll be raising up a whole plethora of persons to help shape this nation into something both formidable and stable I will be raising political leaders, economic leaders, spiritual leaders, to have a strong voice to bring order to the ensuing chaos that is about to be unleashed upon your land over the next several years. I am raising one man. A man for the hour. One who is a strong voice at this time, but a voice I'll make so loud in the days ahead. I'm going to break your politics and your political machine. I'm going to smash it with my right hand. Your two party politics is over for a time. For I have a man that I am raising up and his party will come to power despite all the odds. But he will not come to power just yet. First there will be chaos and ruin within the parliamentary system. It will fall topple and collapse. Then this man will bring his reform to this nation and he will finally achieve his dream of being prime minister in that hour. But there is still a way to go before that hour comes. Much trouble is coming first, and then the fall of parliament. I'm going to give this man great favor, especially within my church. For in the hour of devastation to come, he will be seen as a man of common sense, whereas now the reformer is still seen as divisive and contentious. I will put around the leader of the reform many mighty and wonderful people. Yes there will be the usual suspects, but I will surround him with my choice of leaders. Some of those will be political; some from the street, that is not from the political class; and others from the best of their fields. When he comes to power it will be to rebuild everything from scratch. I'll give him tremendous wisdom through the people I surround him with for that day and that hour. Although his reign will not be a long one, nevertheless he will be my instrument, a Cyrus even, for that hour to help get this nation off her knees and back to a place of strength and dignity. Lo watch and see for here comes the reformer and watch his trail blaze across the heavens."

A true prophecy is correct in every detail. Wickland specifically declared, in the first person of God: "Your current leader is going to wreck and destroy this nation". This is demonstrably false. He was referring to Keir Starmer, who was Prime Minister at the time of the prophecy on 12 February 2025. Starmer did not “wreck and destroy” the nation, and he did not even remain in office; Andy Burnham succeeded him on 20 July 2026. The statement is therefore both inaccurate and contradicted by subsequent events.

Casting Farage in a Cyrus role simply repeats the Trump‑as‑Cyrus narrative promoted by NAR prophets in the United States. The parallels are obvious: the same political messianism, the same selective proof‑texting, and the same attempt to sacralise a political figure through an Old Testament template.

False parallels with Old Testament passages. The context of Psalm 8:6.

O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.
Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established strength because of your foes,
to still the enemy and the avenger.
When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him?
Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
and crowned him with glory and honor.
You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under his feet,*
all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

*Cited in 1 Corinthians 15:27 and Hebrews 2:6-8 

Wickland’s use of Psalm 8:6 is a false parallel. The psalm speaks of humanity in general, not a specific political figure, and its purpose is to praise the majesty of the Lord and His creation. To repurpose this text as a prophetic template for a contemporary political individual is a distortion of its context. The presumption involved in redirecting a doxological psalm toward a partisan application is inappropriate; treating it as a cipher for a modern leader is effectively sacrilegious.

This pattern recurs with Wickland. His alleged “prophetic vision” for the UK delivered four years ago on the 31st of July 2022 titled 'The Seasons are Shifting' was again built on an improvised use of an Old Testament passage—Joshua 1 in that instance—showing the same tendency to force contemporary political narratives into borrowed biblical frameworks.

Wickland 2022: "What I felt God is saying is 'The clock is about to change and it (the church) is now on the threshold of a the next hour..'  We are about to come into a new hour, a new season.. 'Moses my servant is dead..'  the old ways of doing stuff is about to become utterly obsolete in ways that are shocking.. In the first day of the autumn of this year, the clock will change into the next hour..2 

I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive. (Romans 16:17-18).

But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. (2 Peter 2:1)

Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you, filling you with vain hopes. They speak visions of their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord. (Jeremiah 23:16).

2. WOLVES IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING: FALSE PROPHETS AND BIBLE TEACHERS IN THE LAST DAYS: CHRIS WICKLAND: 2022 FAILED "PROPHETIC VISION"

WHY TOVIA SINGER'S SOURCES FAIL TO CORROBORATE HIS CLAIMS

SOURCES TO PROVE WHY JESUS CANT BE THE SON OF G-D (CHRISTIANS GOT IT ALL WRONG)

Tovia Singer’s Claims Fail Under Examination

1. "We do not need a mediator between us and God."

False. The Old Testament never presents unmediated access to יְהוָה. Divine holiness (קֹדֶשׁ) creates an ontological barrier requiring mediation. Direct encounter is lethal (Exodus 20:19; Deuteronomy 18:16). Moses functions as covenant mediator (בֵּין יְהוָה וּבֵינֵיכֶם, Deuteronomy 5:5), receiving revelation פֶּה אֶל־פֶּה (Numbers 12:6–8) and interceding (הִתְחַנֵּן) to avert judgment (Exodus 32–34). Priestly mediation is structurally embedded: only the high priest enters the קֹדֶשׁ הַקֳּדָשִׁים on Yom Kippur, performing כִּפֶּר to purge impurity (Leviticus 16). Prophetic mediation is instituted because Israel cannot endure direct revelation (פֶּן אָמוּת, Deuteronomy 18:16–17). Royal mediation extends divine rule (2 Samuel 7; Psalm 72). No OT text denies the necessity of mediation; the covenantal architecture is uniformly triadic: יְהוָה → Mediator → Israel.

2. "The innocent cannot die for the sins of the wicked.. the idea is opposed by the Hebrew Bible."

False. The Hebrew Bible rejects judicial injustice (executing an innocent person instead of the guilty in civil law; Deuteronomy 24:16; 2 Kings 14:6). But it does not reject the broader theological principle of the innocent bearing consequences for the guilty. In fact, the Hebrew Bible affirms cultic substitution (Leviticus 4–5; Leviticus 16; Leviticus 7:11), vicarious bearing of iniquity (Leviticus 16:21–22; Isaiah 53:4, 11), and representative death (2 Samuel 21:1–14; Numbers 35:25, 28). Sacrificial victims must be תָּמִים (innocent, unblemished), and their death is explicitly said to purge the sins of the guilty. The Hebrew Bible prohibits punishing the innocent in court, but it affirms innocent substitution in atonement, purification, and representative suffering.

3. Singer's proof text:

The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself. (Ezekiel 18:20).

False.  Ezekiel 18:20 addresses civil justice, prohibiting courts from punishing an innocent person in place of a guilty one; it does not address cultic atonement or theological substitution. The Hebrew Bible consistently affirms innocent cultic substitution (Leviticus 4–5; Leviticus 16; Leviticus 17:11), vicarious bearing of iniquity (Leviticus 16:22; Isaiah 53:4, 11), and representative death (2 Samuel 21; Numbers 35:25, 28). Singer’s use of Ezekiel 18:20 is therefore a category error, applying a civil‑law prohibition to domains—atonement, purification, representation—that the text does not regulate.

4. "The Bible does not say that all men are evil."

Singer: "God called Abraham 'my friend' Genesis 26:5. God called Daniel "beloved"..  where in the Bible does it say that all men are evil? When Abraham, as an example, was a righteous person. Hezekiah, we're told in 2 Kings 18:4, was the greatest king that ever lived and ever would live. Daniel was loyal to God. Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah went into a fiery furnace for the Lord.. Daniel was loyal to God. Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah went into a fiery furnace for the Lord.."

False. Scripture’s universal anthropology identifies all humans as fallen. Terms such as righteous and beloved applied to figures like Abraham, Daniel, and Hezekiah do not negate the universal condition of human fallenness. In biblical usage, "righteous" is a covenantal and evidential designation: it marks those whose lives exhibit sustained alignment with God’s revealed will. It is relational rather than intrinsic, descriptive rather than absolute. Their righteousness reflects covenant fidelity under divine initiative, not exemption from human corruption. Each of these figures is explicitly shown to sin: Abraham—despite his reputation for faith—shows clear episodes of moral failure and compromised trust. He twice misrepresented Sarah as his sister, first in Egypt (Genesis 12:10–20) and later in Gerar (Genesis 20:1–18), actions that exposed others to harm and revealed a willingness to protect himself at their expense. He also responded to God’s promise of a son with laughter, signalling internal doubt about God’s capacity to fulfil what He had declared. Daniel—confessed corporate and personal sin (Daniel 9:20); Hezekiah—pride, failure in the Babylonian envoy episode (2 Kings 20:12-19; Isaiah 39:1-8). Moses—described as "faithful in all God’s house as a servant" (Hebrews 3:5) and "a very humble man" (Numbers 12:3), his decisive sin was the Meribah breach (Numbers 20:1–13): he acted in anger, struck the rock instead of speaking as commanded, misrepresented divine agency, and failed to sanctify God before the people—resulting in exclusion from the land., humanity is universally fallen. This is an ontological statement about the human condition. 

Surely there is no righteous man on earth who does good and never sins. (Ecclesiastes 7:20).

This is an evil in everything that is done under the sun: There is one fate for everyone. Furthermore, the hearts of men are full of evil and madness while they are alive, and afterward they join the dead. (Ecclesiastes 9:3).

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? (Jeremiah 17:9).

We all like sheep have gone astray, each one has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all. (Isaiah 7:20). 

..as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.” “Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive.” “The venom of asps is under their lips.” “Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.” “Their feet are swift to shed blood; in their paths are ruin and misery, and the way of peace they have not known.” “There is no fear of God before their eyes.” (Romans 3:10–12 cf. Psalm 14:1–7; Psalm 53:1–6; Isaiah 59:1–17).

For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. (John:5:46).

Jesus’ statement in John 5:46 identifies the underlying source of opposition to His claims: a refusal to grasp what Moses actually testified. The Pentateuch contains explicit prophecy—the promised Prophet like Moses to whom the people must listen (Deuteronomy 18:15–19; Acts 3:22–23)—and sustained typological anticipation of Christ in the seed who would crush the serpent (Genesis 3:15), the substitutionary pattern in Isaac (Genesis 22:8–14), the Passover lamb whose blood secures deliverance (Exodus 12:5–13; 1 Corinthians 5:7), and the bronze serpent lifted up for healing (Numbers 21:8–9; John 3:14–15). Typology and prophecy converge to identify Jesus as the Messiah anticipated from the beginning (Hebrews 3:1–6; 10:1), and a deeper, accurate reading of Moses necessarily leads to recognition of Jesus as the promised Redeemer—the true fulfillment of the woman’s seed.

Lange: [For of me he wrote, περὶγὰρἐμοῦ—emphatically placed first—ἐκεῖνοςἔγραψεν.—Moses wrote of Christ, as the seed of the woman that shall bruise the serpent’s head (Gen. 3), as the seed of Abraham by which all the nations of the earth shall be blessed (Gen. 12. ff.), as the Shiloh unto whom shall be the gathering of the people (Gen. 49), as the Star out of Jacob, and the Sceptre that shall rise out of Israel (Numb. 24:17), as the great Prophet whom God will raise up, and unto whom the Jews should hearken (Deut. 18). Moreover, the moral law of Moses, by revealing the holy will of God and setting up a standard of human righteousness in conformity with that will, awakens a knowledge of sin and guilt (Rom. 3:20; 7:7), and thus serves as a school-master to bring us to Christ (Gal. 3:24). Finally, the ritual law and all the ceremonies of Mosaic worship were typical of the Christian dispensation (Col. 2:17), as the healing serpent in the wilderness pointed to Christ on the cross (Numb. 21:9; John 3:14). This is a most important testimony, from the unerring mouth of Christ, to the Messianic character and aim of the whole Mosaic dispensation, and to the Mosaic origin of the Pentateuch. Comp. Luke 24:44; Rom. 10:5.—P. S.]1 

1. John 5 Lange Commentary on the Holy Scriptures

TOVIA SINGER'S CLAIM THAT DANIEL 12:12 IS HAPPENING NOW

It’s Happening Now! 5787—Daniel 12:12 | Islam, Christianity, Gog War & Messiah

Video description: "Rabbi Tovia Singer joins Rabbi Yitzchak Botton for a sweeping conversation about Daniel 12, Jerusalem, the Temple Mount, Christianity, Islam, Israel, the Messiah—and the prophetic journey from conflict to world peace. At the center of the discussion is one of Daniel’s most mysterious numbers: 1,335. Why does Rabbi Singer connect the year 691 with Daniel’s 1,335 and arrive at 2026? What is the significance of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount in biblical prophecy? And what ultimately happens to the competing religious claims of Christianity, Islam, and Israel when the Messianic era arrives?"

And from the time the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation set up, there will be 1,290 days. Blessed is he who waits and reaches the end of the 1,335 days. (Daniel 12:11-12 cf. Daniel 7:25).

Tovia Singer mistakenly identifies the Dome of the Rock as "the abomination of desolation" because it stands directly over the Jewish holy place—the site of the Holy of Holies—and he asserts that “heaven and earth were literally created from that spot.” His calculation assumes that the Dome of the Rock—was completed in 691 AD. Thus he arrives at the year 2026.. 691 + 1335 = 2026. He provides some additional information "The Dome of the Rock is dated by its inscription to 72 AH. Because the Hijri calendar is lunar and does not correspond exactly to a single solar CE year, 72AH spans portions of 691-692 CE. Moreover no precise month or day of completion is known. Accordingly a 1,335-year calculation from this date points to 2026-2027 CE". 

Singer: "So it says there that it'll be 1,290 years which marks the time 1980. I'm using secular years so everyone's familiar. That's when the Knesset in August 30th passed a law that Jerusalem is united as the capital of Israel. And then it says 'happy is the one that waits 1,335 years for the redemption'. And it's happening now."

Singer’s assertion that 1,335 represents years rather than days fails both linguistically and structurally. While יוֹם (yom) can denote extended periods in certain contexts, its primary sense is a literal day, and Daniel 12:11 uses the plural יָמִים—the standard term for actual, countable days. Daniel’s time‑schema is structured around the 1,260‑day duration associated with “a time, times, and half a time” (Daniel 7:25; 12:7). In apocalyptic interpretation this is typically modeled as 3½ years using a 360‑day schematic year, though the text itself presents the period as a fixed day‑count rather than defining the length of a “year”. This duration marks the tribulation, a defined period of intensified persecution. Daniel 12:11–12 then extends this framework with 1,290 and 1,335 days. The numerical sequence (1,260 → 1,290 → 1,335) only functions as literal day‑counts; the +30 and +45 increments become incoherent if treated as years. Daniel never employs “days” as symbolic eras, and the countdown is tied to concrete events—the removal of sacrifice and the abomination’s installation—which require real‑time chronology. The blessing in v.12 presupposes literal waiting, not centuries. The vocabulary, arithmetic, and contextual logic all require literal days.  

The New Testament provides further information.

So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. (Matthew 24:15-16).

But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, you will know that her desolation is near. (Mark 13:14).

But the woman (Israel) was given the two wings of the great eagle so that she might fly from the serpent into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time. (Revelation 12:14 cf. Revelation 11:2,13:5).

Paul identifies the end‑time defilement as the moment when the Antichrist takes his seat in the temple of God, an act of usurpation that constitutes the abomination of desolation. His reference is explicitly to “the temple of God”, not to the Dome of the Rock, and the passage presupposes an intrusion into a sacred space defined by its covenantal identity rather than an Islamic structure.

Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 cf. Daniel 11:36-37).

Replacement theology remains widely present across Christian traditions. It has been historically dominant in Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and many mainline Protestant frameworks, and contemporary surveys show that a measurable minority of evangelicals still affirm it, with higher acceptance among younger evangelicals. Scripture repeatedly affirms God’s ongoing plan for ethnic Israel. Romans 11 states directly that God has not rejected His people and that a remnant remains chosen by grace. Prophetic texts such as Ezekiel 36–37, Jeremiah 31:35–37, Zechariah 12–14, Hosea 3:4–5, and Amos 9:14–15 describe Israel’s future restoration, national repentance, and covenantal continuity. Jesus Himself ties His return to Israel’s future confession in Matthew 23:39. These passages collectively affirm that ethnic Israel retains a defined role in God’s redemptive plan.

Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written,

“The Deliverer will come from Zion,
he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”;
“and this will be my covenant with them
when I take away their sins.”

As regards the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. For just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may now receive mercy. For God has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all. (Romans 11:25-32).

And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn. On that day the mourning in Jerusalem will be as great as the mourning for Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo. The land shall mourn, each family by itself: the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the Shimeites by itself, and their wives by themselves; and all the families that are left, each by itself, and their wives by themselves. (Zechariah 12:10-14 cf. Zechariah 13:7-9).

Singer: "Christianity, how does it metastasize? Again, please Christians, don't be offended. It metastasizes by saying the real you is really a failure. The real you is really a sinner. You are really broken. You are infected with the original sin. There's nothing you can do to save yourself. In their words, you can't work your way into heaven. So what the what Christianity really is is man's failed attempt to create God in his image. That's why Jesus looks fantastic.. What Judaism really is is God's successful endeavor in creating man in his image. What Christianity seeks to do to undermine that say no, you're damaged. You're filthy. You're garbage. There's nothing you can do." Judaism rejects the biblical claim that the imago Dei has been fatally damaged by the fall and that all people are desperately in need of the new birth in Jesus Christ by grace through faith. The idea of becoming “the best version of yourself” or simply becoming a better person is not a biblical category; salvation is explicitly “not by works”. (Ephesians 2:9).

For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).

The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead. (Acts 17:30-31).

But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. (Romans 3:21-26).

Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked, declares the Lord GOD, and not rather that he should turn from his way and live? (Ezekiel 18:23 cf. 2 Peter 3:9; 1 Timothy 2:4).

CHRIS WICKLAND: 2022 FAILED "PROPHETIC VISION"

THE SEASONS ARE SHIFTING

Below is a refutation of Chris Wickland's failed prophetic vision for the UK given on 31st of July 2022 based on Joshua 1.

After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, “Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the people of Israel. Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, just as I promised to Moses. From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun shall be your territory. No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you. Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go. This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:1-9).

Anyone issuing sweeping prophetic declarations claimed to be from the Lord should be treated with extreme caution. This pattern is a standard tactic of false prophets: dramatic announcements that collapse into nothing. Scripture instructs us to test the spirits, yet many within the church neglect this basic discernment (1 John 4:1).

Wickland: "What I felt God is saying is 'The clock is about to change and it (the church) is now on the threshold of a the next hour..'  We are about to come into a new hour, a new season.. 'Moses my servant is dead..'  the old ways of doing stuff is about to become utterly obsolete in ways that are shocking."  

Wickland begins his dubious prophecy by inserting an improvised scenario in which the Israelites supposedly questioned Joshua’s legitimacy because he had not performed “signs and wonders”. This is drivel. The biblical narrative makes Joshua’s appointment explicit and public; Israel was fully informed that he was God’s designated successor. 

Immediate Literary Context (Numbers 27:15–23)

Facing his impending death outside the land (Numbers 27:12–14), Moses pleads: “May the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation” (v 16). Yahweh answers: “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him” (v 18). Moses obeys publicly: “He laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as the LORD had instructed through Moses” (v 23). The passage therefore grounds Joshua’s selection in divine decree, Spirit-endowment, and the symbolic transfer of authority.

The biblical narrative presents Joshua—Moses’ assistant—as the clear and publicly recognized successor who would lead Israel into the land in fulfilment of God's promises. After Moses’ death, the Lord explicitly confirms Joshua’s appointment. His role is established by divine command, Spirit‑endowment, and formal transfer of authority. The narrative consistently highlights Joshua’s proven character, fidelity, and integrity, marking him as the legitimate heir to Moses’ leadership and mission. This passage affirms that God’s promises to Israel did not end with Moses. The entry into Canaan marked a new phase, but it remained a direct continuation of the same covenantal trajectory already established.   

Wickland: "In the first day of the autumn of this year, the clock will change into the next hour... There's something coming that's going to make the church real and stagger with shock and what's coming is you're going to see a lot of church in the next two years a lot of the established churches or great denominations are going to vanish they're just simply going to vanish. Why is this? Because as Moses said to Pharaoh let my people go.. 

with it will cut much change and much consternation and you're going to see some things that are going to happen to this nation economically that are just going to leave most Christians reeling and staggering in shock "

A false prophecy would not be complete without a declaration: "I declare to 'stonewall' in the name of Jesus that you are coming down..  and I prophesy to you right now and I declare to you in the name of Jesus that you 'stonewall' are coming down and you will be ground to powder and you will never rise again..  The agenda of the highly liberal left will collapse and fall in these days, the economical systems of our land are going to fall in these days  the government of our land is going to fall in these days.. "  

A false prophecy would not be complete without prophesied national revival and revival of false churches.

Wickland asserts a coming unity between Roman Catholics, Protestants, and Orthodox Christians—a unity that will allegedly “surpass theology". This is a textbook marker of apostasy. Scripture commands doctrinal fidelity (2 Timothy 1:13), and there can be no ecumenical “unity” with denominations that reject apostolic teaching.

The notion of a church “Golden Age” is a delusion. The modern postmillennial claim—that the church will transform the world and usher in a global era of righteousness before Christ returns—is neither recognizable in the present world nor defensible from scripture. It exists only in the imaginative projections of those who promote it.

It has now been four years since these claims were made. Wickland’s prophetic “shift" has evaporated. None of the asserted outcomes — the disappearance of major denominations, the collapse of the liberal left, the breakdown of economic systems, or the fall of the government — has materialised in any concrete form.

This places Wickland squarely in the category of a demonstrated false prophet. Constructing unwarranted parallels and inventing unbiblical Old Testament scenarios—rather than adhering to the prophetic texts themselves — is a hallmark of false prophecy. Scripture provides a defined framework for eschatological events, and Wickland's claims fall outside it.

According to the scriptures apostasy will increase in the last days.

Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demon, (1 Timothy 4:1).

But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. (2 Timothy 3:1-5).

And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. (Matthew 24:12).

Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction.. (2 Thessalonians 2:3).

Mark and avoid false prophets

I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive. (Romans 16:17-18).

But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. (2 Peter 2:1)

Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you, filling you with vain hopes. They speak visions of their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord. (Jeremiah 23:16).

THE TWO-STATE SOLUTION: "THEY DIVIDED UP MY LAND" (JOEL 2:1-3)

Sanctions against Israel 

Ed Miliband, born in 1969 to Polish Jewish immigrants and a Holocaust survivor on his mother's side, describes himself as a “Jewish atheist”.1  Despite this background, he appears not to register the gravity of the implications attached to his political choices. In moving to impose sanctions on Israel, Miliband has surpassed his previous misjudgments. His public standing has been weakened by controversies and decisions that have produced sustained criticism and a continuing disconnection from voters. 

The UK, along with 11 other countries, intends to impose a ban on goods originating from Judea and Samaria (the West Bank). Miliband has faced significant pushback and has publicly rejected Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis’ warning that the policy could embolden individuals who weaponize hostility toward Jews.2 The warning coincides with Rosh Hashanah, during which police increased security around Jewish communities amid already heightened concerns about antisemitism. Israel has responded by closing the British consulate in East Jerusalem and restricting access for British politicians.

Area E1 is a 12‑square‑kilometre corridor between East Jerusalem and Ma’ale Adumim, designated by Israel for settlement expansion and administrative integration. Its development is widely regarded by international legal bodies as part of the broader settlement enterprise considered unlawful under the laws governing occupied territory. However, Israel rejects the premise that the West Bank is “occupied” and therefore disputes the applicability of the Fourth Geneva Convention. Under Israeli law, E1 lies within Area C—territory under full Israeli military and civilian control according to the Oslo Accords—and construction there is treated as legally permissible. 

Legal Director of the advocacy group, UK Lawyers for Israel Natasha Hausdorff has accused Miliband of spreading falsehoods about Israel and misrepresenting international law to justify sanctions on goods from Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territories. She presents the sanctions as an excuse rather than a substantive legal rationale, portraying Miliband's interpretation as a deliberate misreading of the facts aimed at securing Muslim electoral support in the UK.3 

Burnham publicly anchors the policy in defence of a two‑state solution he describes as structurally endangered. His government characterises sanctions on illegal settlements as an emergency measure to preserve the territorial continuity required for any viable Palestinian state. This is described as a boundary‑protection exercise rather than hostility toward Israel.

The Two-State Solution is the proposal to establish a separate Palestinian state in Israel. This proposal is seen as a possible resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and is supported by various countries and the Palestinian Authority. However, it has faced significant opposition from Israel and its biggest ally the US. A recent UN resolution endorsing the declaration received 142 votes in favor and 10 against, while 12 countries abstained.4 The Two-State solution is often contrasted with a one-state solution, which advocates for a single state in the region.

My response is one of profound concern and disappointment: Burnham and his ministers have aligned themselves with an agenda I regard as counterproductive, incoherent, and ultimately at odds with God’s purposes according to the scriptures.

The prophetic implications of supporting a two-state solution

God specifically bequeathed the land of Israel as an inheritance to His people Israel via His covenant with Abraham and his descendants as an "everlasting possession". (Genesis 12:7,15:18,17:7-8,28:13; Exodus 6:8). The boundaries of the land are detailed in Numbers 34:1-12. Bible prophecy speaks of Israel's full restoration. (Jeremiah 30:1-3; Ezekiel 36:24–28).  Jeremiah refers to the literal regathering of Israel following the Babylonian captivity. (Ezra 1:1-4). This event foreshadows a final, complete restoration still anticipated. (Romans 11:26-29). Scripture repeatedly warns against unjust division of God’s land. Joel 3:1–3 foretells judgment on nations that divide His land and mistreat His people, while Ezekiel 36:5 condemns nations with jealous zeal against the nations who claim possession of Israel’s land. Furthermore, Numbers 35:33–34 warns against polluting the land through bloodshed – a consequence that any forced political solution risks incurring. Ultimately, God makes clear that the land belongs to Him. (Leviticus 25:23).

Thus says the LORD, Who gives the sun for light by day, And the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar; The LORD of hosts is His name: “if this fixed order departs From before Me,” declares the LORD, “Then the offspring of Israel also shall cease From being a nation before Me forever.” Thus says the LORD, “If the heavens above can be measured, And the foundations of the earth searched out below, Then I will also cast off all the offspring of Israel For all that they have done,” declares the LORD.” (Jeremiah 31:35-37).

The phrase "in those days" is often used in the Old Testament to denote a significant future event (e.g., Jeremiah 33:15, Ezekiel 38:18). Biblically, Israel stands isolated at the end of the age; its deliverance comes from God alone rather than international alliances.

God has appointed a specific point in time when He will openly intervene in defense of Jerusalem and in judgment of the nations. That day belongs to the Lord and will unfold according to His purpose. Jerusalem will become the focal point of global hostility. Zechariah depicts the Lord’s direct intervention when the city is surrounded (Zechariah 14:2–4), and Revelation portrays the nations assembling for the final conflict under Satan’s deception. (Revelation 16:14–16). This verse refers to a united attack by the nations upon Jerusalem and Judah, which will result in their injury and destruction. Jerusalem’s significance rests not merely in its history but in God’s covenant purposes, His future reign, and His promised restoration of Israel.

On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. All who lift it will surely hurt themselves. And all the nations of the earth will gather against it. (Zechariah 12:3-4).

Yes, in those days and at that time, when I restore Judah and Jerusalem from captivity, I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will enter into judgment against them concerning My people, My inheritance, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations as they divided up My land. (Joel 2:1-3; Leviticus 25:23; Ezekiel 36:5).

Hasten and come, all you surrounding nations, and gather yourselves there. Bring down your warriors, O Lord. Let the nations stir themselves up and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; for there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations. Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Go in, tread, for the winepress is full. The vats overflow, for their evil is great. Multitudes, multitudes, in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining. The Lord roars from Zion, and utters his voice from Jerusalem, and the heavens and the earth quake. But the Lord is a refuge to his people, a stronghold to the people of Israel. (Joel 3:11-16; cf. Zephaniah 1:14-18; Ezekiel 30:3; Obadiah 1:15-16; Malachi 4:1; Revelation 16:14-16).

The Bible speaks of Iran (Elam/Persia) in terms of judgment, scattering, end‑time military alignment, and eventual restoration — not annihilation. But in the latter days I will restore the fortunes of Elam, declares the LORD.” (Jeremiah 49:34-39). Biblically, salvation is never assigned to modern religious blocks; it is always individual, never automatic by nation or creed. Prophetic texts anticipate that peoples from regions now largely Muslim will ultimately turn to the God of Israel, but as individuals responding to Him — not as collective “Muslim nations” receiving a guaranteed end‑state.

Prophetic scripture has demonstrated complete historical accuracy, and its warnings are not incidental. Given the severe biblical warnings against those who take part in dividing the land of Israel, Burnham, Miliband, and others have placed themselves on the wrong side of scripture. In my assessment, they have made a fatal miscalculation that will ultimately rebound on them.

The present development appears to be an ominous prophetic marker. As such it is critical for all people everywhere to repent of their sins and accept Jesus Christ as their Messiah by grace through faith. (Ephesians 2:8).

For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).

The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead. (Acts 17:30-31).

But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. (Romans 3:21-26).

Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked, declares the Lord GOD, and not rather that he should turn from his way and live? (Ezekiel 18:23 cf. 2 Peter 3:9; 1 Timothy 2:4).

MONDO GONZALES' MUDDLED ARGUMENTS: 2 THESSALONIANS 2:3

Apostasy - The Prophecy Watchers

Mondo Gonzales: "Is the apostasy of 2 Thessalonians 2:3 referring to a spiritual rebellion of the Church? Is it a rebellion of the Jewish people? Or is it in reference to the physical departure of the rapture?"

Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction.. (2 Thessalonians 2:1-3).

Paul’s argument is straightforward: the church is not appointed to the eschatological wrath associated with the day of the Lord. (1 Thessalonians 1:10; 5:9). The term orgē refers specifically to the day of the Lord's wrath, which is not to be confused with the tribulation. (Matthew 24:21). In the previous letter to the Thessalonians Paul instructed believers: to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus who delivers us from the wrath (ὀργῆς) to come. (1 Thessalonians 1:10). This deliverance is explicitly from divine wrath, not from the Antichrist’s persecution.

Gonzales’ critical error is that he collapses two distinct eschatological categories—the great tribulation and the day of the Lord—into a single event encompassing the entire seven year period. Once these are conflated, he arrives at the erroneous conclusion that “we are saved from the future 7‑year tribulation day of the Lord.” The New Testament does not support this interpretation. Tribulation (thlipsis) is consistently portrayed as satanic and directed against the saints, while wrath (orgé) is consistently divine and directed against the earth‑dwellers. Paul’s teaching is precise: believers are delivered from the coming wrath i.e. the day of the Lord, but not from the great tribulation.

The Thessalonian church had been misled by some false information that the day of the Lord had already arrived. Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.

Below is an example of the exegetically implausible and logically unsound claims of pretribulation teachers:

Robert Thomas: "Let me belabor this point a little further. Some people interpret that the apostasy and man of sin must come before the arrival of the DOTL (day of the Lord). This is unfortunate because the word “before” or “precede” does not appear anywhere in these verses. This erroneous interpretation leads some people to embrace a pre-wrath rapture view. For them, the rapture cannot happen until the apostasy and man of sin are revealed before the arrival of the DOTL. They have made a serious mistake. Paul never says that these two events happen before the arrival of the DOTL. He says that they are the first events which kick off the DOTL."

The text does not state “before" or "precede" but it does explicitly state that the rebellion comes first (πρῶτον proton). 

Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion (apostasia) comes first (πρῶτον), and the man of lawlessness is revealed.. (2 Thessalonians 2:3).

Gonzales refers to Andy Woods' untenable claim that apostasia as "spiritual departure" rather than apostasy/rebellion. The claim that apostasia denotes a physical departure has no lexical support; the evidence consistently points to a spiritual or religious defection, not a spatial removal. For me, this line of argument is simply an exercise in manufactured mischief.

Gonzales misidentifies the day of the Lord as “the time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jeremiah 30:7; Daniel 9:24–27). Yet again he repeats the same category error by treating the entire seven‑year period as the day of the Lord and collapsing the tribulation into it. In scripture, the time of Jacob’s trouble refers to the Antichrist’s persecution—i.e., the great tribulation—which begins at the midpoint of Daniel’s seventieth week. When Satan fails to annihilate Israel, he redirects his hostility toward believers, “those who keep the commandments of God and hold the testimony of Jesus.” This persecution precedes the rapture, which occurs between the sixth and seventh seal of Revelation.

And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown to the earth, he pursued the woman (Israel) who had given birth to the male child. But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle to fly from the presence of the serpent to her place in the wilderness, where she was nourished for a time, and times, and half a time. Then from his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river to overtake the woman and sweep her away in the torrent. But the earth helped the woman and opened its mouth to swallow up the river that the dragon had poured from his mouth. And the dragon was enraged at the woman and went to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. (Revelation 12:13-17).

Immediately after the tribulation (thlipsis) of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. (Matthew 24:29-31 cf. 2 Peter 3:10).

And I watched as the Lamb opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black like sackcloth of goat hair, and the whole moon turned blood red, 13and the stars of the sky fell to the earth like unripe figs dropping from a tree shaken by a great wind. The sky receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place. Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the commanders, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and free man hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains. And they said to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the One seated on the throne, and from the wrath (ὀργῆς) of the Lamb. For the great day of Their wrath (ὀργῆς) has come, and who is able to withstand it?” (Revelation 6:12-17).

I will not pursue Gonzales’ tangled reasoning any further. His exegesis is so poor that it is remarkable anyone still defends a view rooted in the mid‑19th century and unknown to the early church. Pretribulationism is rejected by a large portion of global Christianity; its acceptance is largely limited to certain Western circles that have embraced this serious doctrinal error.

WOLVES IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING: FALSE PROPHETS AND BIBLE TEACHERS IN THE LAST DAYS: THE SEVEN YEAR TRIBULATION FALLACY

STEVE KOZAR AND DANIEL LONG'S DERANGED RESPONSE TO RUSLAN CRITICISM

When "Discernment" is Dishonest: Is Ruslan KD Really "Evil?"

A question for Steve Kozar: What is an ad hominem attack?

Ad hominem: A criticism directed against a person rather than against what that person says.

To my knowledge, none of Ruslan KD’s critics have engaged in ad hominem attacks. The concerns have been directed at his relentless pursuit of money—identified in scripture as greed and love of money—which Ruslan himself has articulated in the most disgusting terms. (Hebrews 13:5; 1 Timothy 6:10; Luke 12:15). Chris LaSala notes: "Ruslan KD has always planned to make merchandise of his followers. He has tried to monetize everything from prayer journals, Christian concerts, t shirts, therapy sessions, upper tier Patreon subscriptions, and more. This man is not a Christian, he is a lover of money and he is a friend of the world. He also promotes cigar smoking, tattoos, carnal hip hop artists, and he green lights women wearing yoga pants. He is also a free gracer disguised as a repentance preacher."1 

Kozar and Long have responded by attacking Michael Grant, Sean Christie (Revealing Truth), Jordan Riley, and others, asserting that Ruslan’s critics are "lying and taking him out of context". That is an exceptionally strong allegation and is demonstrably false. 

Ruslan's damage control: "When I came onto YouTube the objective was not to be a public Christian."2 

Anyone who chooses to operate on YouTube is functioning in a public arena. Ruslan’s claim that he was a full‑time musician who was “a rapper who was Christian, not a Christian rapper” is a distinction without substance. 

The monetisation‑focused statements now circulating online originate from Ruslan’s own recorded material, largely between 2018 and 2021, during the period in which he was advising aspiring Christian creatives on building financially viable platforms. In a recent interview he accused his critics of participating in “cancel culture” and claimed that his intent was merely to motivate Christian artists, not to address ordinary believers. The difficulty with that defence is obvious: at what point does a Christian supposedly remove the “Christian” hat and replace it with an “artist” hat? What framework of values is he communicating to Christians who identify as artists? Scripture does not permit compartmentalising the Christian life. Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.. (Colossians 3:23).

Kozar and Long's claim that Ruslan has "repented" is absurd. Ruslan has recently reaffirmed his own monetisation‑focused statements: "But we went back and particularly looked at 'how do I monetize people' and 'stop pussy footing around, you want to build a business around your art  and not a ministry'. And I stand by those 100%."

Ruslan > I want.. I want.. I want .. 

"I want to be free so I got zero overhead.. I don't want no bill.. I don't got to pay mortgage.. I want to be part of a church plant and be able to give and help.. I want to live in southern California, I have to.. I am going to live in Southern California. I have to figure out how to get into a million dollar home and pay it off.. I need seven figures.. I would love to be in a position someday where I just have F.U. money." His manner of speaking aside, the substance is clear: he wants to participate in ministry while exempting himself from the ordinary responsibilities and obligations that other people must carry. He has expressed a desire for income levels far beyond what most people will ever attain. 

But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one.(1 Corinthians 5:11 cf. 2 Thessalonians 3:6; Romans 16:16-17).

Only blatant deceivers and narcissists would consider charging people for “meet and greet” access to so‑called "celebrity preachers". The pricing for Ruslan’s March 2026 Bless God Summit — including a $75 meet‑and‑greet ticket — speaks for itself. The broader pattern is even more egregious offering an additional $450 for a celebrity meet‑and‑greet, and children being charged $422 to meet a “celebrity preacher.” This commercialisation of alleged religious figures is indefensible.  All Christians are obligated to uphold consistent Christian values and to serve as public witnesses to Christ. No believer should even mention or be speaking about "F.U. money"  and "monetizing people" in any context. 

Ruslan's financial compromises alone warrants rejecting this ministry outright. But the wider problem is structural: the entire Bless God Summit genre is theologically unsound, commercially driven, and ecumenical in substance. It is not Christian ministry in any meaningful doctrinal sense.

Although Ruslan disputes Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox structures and practices, he still treats both traditions as doctrinally aligned with the gospel and draws no substantive line between their teaching and what he considers biblical truth. He refers to "Our respective streams of Christianity.. I love my Eastern Orthodox and Catholic brothers and sisters.. We (Protestants) believe that you have a valid church and a valid communion."4

The heart of the ecumenical heresy is soteriological. Bible believers who trust that we are saved by grace through faith alone are at complete odds with Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. The Roman Catholic/Eastern Orthodox premise is that we are saved by faith plus works. Although they share our vocabulary, they load those terms with different theological content. Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy diverge from one another in various aspects, yet they stand together in treating the sacraments as efficacious channels of grace and as necessary components of salvation. This is another gospel and is anathema biblically. (Galatians 1:8-9).

Ruslan's questionable list of speakers at his ecumenical summit included Mike Winger, Gavin Ortlund, Sean McDowell, Wes Huff, Michael Knowles, Lila Rose (Roman Catholic) and other dubious characters. He consistently elevates some of the most destructive influencers operating in the church today—Carl Lentz, TD Jakes, Gabe Poirot, and the self‑styled “demon slayer” contingent: Mike Signorelli, Isaiah Saldivar, "Apostle" Alexander Pagani, and Vlad Savchuk.

I can only describe Steve Kozar and Daniel Long's response to Ruslan's critics as deranged. They fail to articulate even the most basic definitions, and the claim that Ruslan has “repented” is demonstrably false. Ruslan’s own recorded statements are sufficient to indict him without further analysis. Their reaction warrants serious scrutiny: at minimum, their discernment should be questioned, and the motives behind issuing blatantly false claims of this nature should be examined. These two self-appointed "discerners"  are already in serious error due to their Lutheran commitment to baptismal regeneration—a significant deviation from sound biblical soteriology—the pattern is predictable. (Isaiah 5:20).

Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us. For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself. (Philippians 3:17-21).
