The Storm of the Century: Are We Approaching a Historic Turning Point?
As America emerges from the consequential 2026 midterm elections and the world approaches 2027, several Christian prophetic voices are warning of a potentially extraordinary period of political upheaval, economic instability, technological disruption, and spiritual confrontation. Among them, Pastor Paul Begley, Joseph Z, and Brandon Biggs have raised concerns about global developments they believe warrant urgent attention from the church.
Joseph Z has described what he calls the “Storm of the Century,” warning of a possible worldwide disruption affecting power grids, financial systems, and governments. Brandon Biggs has urged believers to prepare spiritually and practically, while Begley has examined escalating geopolitical tensions through the lens of biblical prophecy.
Their warnings come amid political realignments in Washington, continuing international conflict, heightened concerns about military preparedness, and growing questions about the resilience of critical infrastructure. As America enters a new political chapter and the international order faces mounting pressures, could these developments foreshadow a profound transformation of the world order—or are they separate challenges unfolding during an unusually turbulent period?

Joseph Z Warns of a Coming Global Halt
During his October and early November 2026 prophetic broadcasts, Joseph Z described what he calls a “Great Halt”—a possible disruption affecting nations, infrastructure, and economic activity. He suggested that cyberattacks, electrical grid failures, geopolitical conflict, and financial instability could contribute to an extraordinary period of global shaking extending into 2027.
Although Joseph Z acknowledged uncertainty about the timing and sequence of these events, he encouraged Christians to remain spiritually alert without surrendering to fear. His message emphasized both the importance of preparedness and the possibility that God could bring spiritual awakening through difficult circumstances.
Pastor Paul Begley: Global Instability and the Signs of the Times
Pastor Paul Begley, a longtime biblical prophecy commentator and my coauthor of our #1 bestsellers Revelation 911 and Trump vs. the Beast, has also expressed concern about escalating geopolitical tensions and growing instability worldwide. During his October 27 broadcast, “Global Events Gone Crazy,” Begley and commentator Mike From Around the World examined developments involving the Middle East, potential communications disruptions, earthquake activity, and political unrest.
Their discussion considered how these developments might relate to Jesus’ warnings in Matthew 24 concerning wars, rumors of wars, earthquakes, and the beginning of sorrows. Unlike Joseph Z’s specific prediction of a possible “Great Halt,” Begley’s comments focused on the broader convergence of global events and biblical prophecy, encouraging believers to remain vigilant, exercise discernment, and trust Jesus Christ rather than fear.
Breaking Developments: Are Global Events Echoing the Prophetic Warnings?
The days following America’s November 3 midterm elections have brought significant political changes, even as international tensions and concerns about critical infrastructure continue to command attention. Democrats have secured control of both chambers of Congress for the next legislative term, setting the stage for a new period of divided government when the incoming Congress convenes in January 2027.
Meanwhile, the continuing conflict involving the United States and Iran has underscored the fragility of international security and energy markets. On November 12, President Donald Trump signaled that Washington may not need a negotiated agreement with Tehran, raising fresh questions about the prospects for diplomacy, regional stability, and the future of the conflict.
Beyond these geopolitical developments, October reporting concerning the Pentagon’s FORTRESS America initiative described efforts to strengthen military installations against prolonged disruptions involving electricity, communications, water, fuel, and essential supplies. The reported 90-day resilience objective reflects military contingency planning, not evidence that a nationwide blackout is imminent.
Continuing cybersecurity threats and concerns about infrastructure vulnerabilities further illustrate why governments and security experts are examining emergency preparedness. While these developments provide a contemporary backdrop for the warnings voiced by Joseph Z, Pastor Paul Begley, and Brandon Biggs, they do not establish that a predicted global halt is approaching or that any particular biblical prophecy is being fulfilled.
Agenda 2030 and the Great Reset: A Global Transformation?
One of Joseph Z’s most striking assertions concerns what he believes could be an effort to accelerate a global transformation agenda during periods of crisis. During his November 2 broadcast, he suggested that a coming storm might advance what he described as the United Nations’ “Agenda 2030” and the World Economic Forum’s “Great Reset,” while offering an encouraging prophetic declaration: “God’s going to upset the reset.”
Brandon Biggs has likewise expressed concerns about Agenda 2030 and the possibility of major disruptions accompanying changes in global governance. The United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted in 2015, establishes 17 goals addressing poverty, health, education, environmental protection, and international cooperation.
Nevertheless, questions surrounding the concentration of technological, financial, and political power deserve serious examination. As artificial intelligence, digital financial infrastructure, and surveillance capabilities expand, debates over privacy, economic freedom, and government accountability are becoming increasingly important. For students of biblical prophecy, these developments raise another question: Could emerging technologies eventually enable systems resembling the economic controls described in Revelation 13?
Brandon Biggs: Warnings of Shaking and Spiritual Preparation
In a recent prayer broadcast, Brandon Biggs warned that the world could experience increasingly severe challenges through 2027, including conflict, shortages, disease, and social instability. He described these warnings as prophetic impressions he believes he has received over several years, emphasizing prayer, repentance, spiritual preparedness, and trust in God’s protection.
Although his predictions remain unverified, his spiritual appeal echoes Jesus’ teachings in Matthew 24:6–8, where Christ warned of wars, famines, earthquakes, and turmoil, describing such events as the beginning of sorrows. Importantly, Jesus also instructed His followers not to become alarmed or assume that every crisis meant the end had immediately arrived.
A Sign in the Storm: Joseph Z Foresees Hope and Revival
Despite his warnings, Joseph Z’s message contains an equally important theme: hope and spiritual awakening. In his October 28 broadcast, he described what he believes could be an extraordinary sign of divine encouragement during a season of upheaval, suggesting that God might intervene in unexpected ways to strengthen the church and inspire revival.
His message echoes Hebrews 12:26–28, which speaks of a shaking that reveals what cannot be shaken—the eternal Kingdom of God. Whether or not these specific prophetic expectations unfold, Scripture consistently calls Christians to remain steadfast, compassionate, and faithful during uncertain times.
Troy’s Insight: The Storm, the Global Reset, and the Ten Kings Prophecy
As I have investigated biblical prophecy, emerging technologies, geopolitical developments, and the accelerating transformation of our world, one question has increasingly captured my attention: Are we witnessing the emergence of conditions that could eventually enable the global system described in the Book of Revelation?
In my latest book, Trump vs. the Beast: The Ten Kings Prophecy and the Bible’s Revelation of Coming Final Days, I explore the extraordinary intersection of political power, spiritual deception, technological innovation, and ancient biblical warnings.
Revelation 17:12–13 describes ten kings who receive authority and ultimately surrender their power to the Beast. Revelation 13:16–17 portrays a system in which buying and selling become subject to extraordinary control. These passages raise profound questions about the future of economic freedom, political sovereignty, and centralized authority.
Today’s technologies—including artificial intelligence, digital identification, advanced surveillance, and programmable financial systems—could potentially enable unprecedented monitoring and control. This does not mean these technologies automatically fulfill biblical prophecy, nor does it establish that Agenda 2030 represents the Beast system. Nevertheless, I believe Christians should carefully examine how these developments might shape the future.
Throughout history, major crises have sometimes accelerated political and economic transformations that otherwise would have taken decades. Could future emergencies similarly reshape the relationship between citizens, governments, and global institutions?
Yet the ultimate message of biblical prophecy is not despair. The Book of Revelation reveals not merely the rise of earthly kingdoms, but the final victory of Jesus Christ. Whatever storms lie ahead, our calling remains unchanged: discern the times, proclaim the Gospel, defend truth, and prepare spiritually for the return of our Lord.
How Should Christians Prepare for the Storm?
The Bible encourages both spiritual readiness and practical wisdom. Proverbs 22:3 teaches that prudent people recognize danger and take appropriate precautions. Families can prepare responsibly by maintaining emergency supplies, protecting important documents, developing communication plans, and helping vulnerable neighbors during times of crisis.
Above all, Christians should deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ through prayer, Scripture, repentance, fellowship, and service. Preparation is not about living in fear. It is about living faithfully, wisely, and courageously—whatever tomorrow brings.
Coming Soon: A Prophecy Investigators Special Report on Emergency Preparedness
Why is the Pentagon strengthening military installations to withstand prolonged disruptions, and why are European governments urging citizens to prepare for emergencies? In an upcoming investigative report, Troy Anderson and the Prophecy Investigators team will examine the Pentagon’s FORTRESS America initiative, Europe’s emergency preparedness recommendations, and practical steps families can take to prepare for potential crises.
A Prayer for Protection, Revival, and Salvation
Heavenly Father, we come before You during these uncertain times, acknowledging that You alone know the future. We ask for Your protection over our families, communities, and nations. Grant wisdom to our leaders, expose deception, restrain evil, and guide us in righteousness.
Lord, strengthen Your church to stand courageously in truth and love. Bring repentance where there is rebellion, peace where there is conflict, and hope where there is despair. Let a mighty spiritual awakening sweep across America and the nations, drawing countless souls into Your Kingdom.
If you have not yet received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we invite you to pray:
Lord Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God. I believe You died on the cross for my sins and rose again on the third day. I confess that I am a sinner, and I ask You to forgive me. I repent of my sins and surrender my life to You. Come into my heart, become my Lord and Savior, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. Help me follow You faithfully all the days of my life. Thank You for Your grace, mercy, and the gift of eternal life. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
