Prophecy Update: How Charlie Kirk’s Martyrdom Exposes the Church

Prophecy Update: How Charlie Kirk’s Martyrdom Exposes the Church

Pastor Brandon Holthaus

Jesus never portrayed the Church as flawless. In fact, He taught that wheat and tares would grow together until the final harvest (Matthew 13:24–30, 36–43). Scripture consistently acknowledges the presence of carnal and worldly believers (1 Corinthians 3:1–3; 1 John 2:15–17), and Revelation 2–3 outlines seven churches—representing both a timeline of church history and types of churches present in every era.

This Prophecy Update explores how key cultural and theological flashpoints—ranging from the church growth movement and postmodernism to debates on sexuality, ideology, Israel, and public witness—have revealed deep spiritual divides within the Church. These moments expose not just differences in opinion, but fundamentally different responses to truth, authority, and discipleship.

The current controversy surrounding Charlie Kirk has become a flashpoint—highlighting which churches stand boldly for biblical truth and which have drifted toward cultural accommodation. This moment reflects the broader struggle between a faithful remnant and a lukewarm majority.

The urgent call is clear: in an age of spiritual confusion, believers must align with the faithful church of Philadelphia—not the compromised church of Laodicea (Revelation 3:7–13; 3:14–22).

All the signs of the last days are converging at the same time. Bible Prophecy is happening right before our eyes and like birth pains, the predicted events are happening more frequently and more intently. Never, in the history throughout the world have so many forces, including economic, scientific, techno-logic, ecologic, cultural, geopolitical, moral, spiritual and religion, converged together to bring this world that's already teetering over the edge into the abyss, to a point of no return. Jesus said when you see all these signs happening, know that I am near, even at the door.
