Merry Christmas–Ready for 2026?
I hope you all had a Very Merry Christmas and best wishes for a Happy New Year to all of my subscribers! As we celebrate God coming to earth in humility as a baby in a lowly manger to redeem us from our sin, let us remember the King of Kings who will once again step into the time and space of our world in power and glory to establish his kingdom and “the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea” (Isaiah 11:9).
Thank you for your prayers and help in spreading the word and warning the Bride to get ready for Christ’s return. My apologies for the long delay in posting. When I don’t feel something specific that I need to share, I don’t. I know that can be interpreted in different ways, but it just means I’m busy or I don’t have anything pressing to say that is new. Believe me, when I feel compelled by the Lord to write something, I can’t ignore it for long. 😉
In this update I’m going to share with you what I’ve been up to, how my next book Finding Solomon is going, how things went in Israel, how to sign up for a new Telegram channel I started, and what I’m expecting heading into 2026…
Looking Forward to 2026

Israel is Still the Epicenter
End Times Berean Watchman Report
October 17, 2025 – No. 50
Analysis and commentary on today’s prophetic events from author and biblical researcher – Dr. Christian Widener
Thank you for reading another edition of the End Times Berean Watchman Report!
First of all, praise the Lord that 20 hostages were released this week in Israel! In this issue, we’ll talk about what that could mean in this new push for eternal peace in the Middle East.
And if you haven’t seen my latest timeline video, check out how things are unfolding in a way that is sure to surprise everyone. 🙂
You’ll probably also want to hear two of my recent interviews with Caleb Colson of the Bearded Bible Brothers of Zola Levitt Ministries, you can find them on my News and Media page.
[ I am also headed back to Israel from October 22 to November 4 to do some filming with Joshua and Caleb Colson in Israel. We’ll be talking about the Temple location, the Decree Everyone Missed, and Finding the lost works of Solomon. I can’t wait! 🙂 ]
And while you’re on my News and Media page, if you have 8 hours to spare 😊, you might want to listen to the four episodes (2-hours each) that I spent discussing my last days timeline with Christopher Brock on YouTube back in September.
But what in the world is going on with Israel?

Witnessing the End — What’s Next?
End Times Berean Watchman Report
May 5, 2025 – No. 49
Analysis and commentary on today’s prophetic events from author and biblical researcher – Dr. Christian Widener
Thank you for checking in on another edition of the End Times Berean Watchman Report!
If you have been wondering how a 2020-2027 timeline could still be viable, based on the fact that it is now 2025 and the world isn’t totally on fire yet, then this update is for you! 🙂
Also, I hope you are staying up-to-date with my latest videos on my End Times Berean YouTube channel. Soon I will be releasing a new two-part series called 7 Churches — 7 Warnings. The idea is that the letters to the seven churches, among other things, were written to warn the church about specific heresies that would plague it in the Last Days. If these are the last days, then they were written to us, and I think they contain some dire warnings that the Church can’t afford to miss. If you’ve already subscribed to my channel, then you should get notified when I get them posted.
Where are we on the Last Days Timeline?

Temple Talk & New Post on YouTube
The Jewish Temple and the possibility of it being rebuilt in the near future has been getting some additional attention lately. With the new Trump administration and on-going peace efforts through the Abraham Accords, as well as the return to war in Gaza with the goal of reshaping and rebuilding the whole Gaza Strip, prophecy looks to be coming alive before our eyes. There’s never been a more likely time where something like the rebuilding of the 3rd temple could happen.
Join me for a discussion of the location of the former Jewish Temple with Jim and Rosemary Garlow of WellVersedWorld.org on Wednesday night, March 19th, at 5pm PT | 6pm MT | 7pm CT | 8pm ET
You can tune in and watch directly on their Website, or also on Facebook and Rumble.
And don’t worry if you can’t tune in exactly at that time, it will also be available at those links after the broadcast.
Find out why the true location of the former temple could only have been at the Dome of the Spirits, and in particular, not at the Dome of the Rock, the most widely accepted location.
This is also explained in my book, The Temple Revealed: The True Location of the Jewish Temple Hidden in Plain Sight, which you can Download for FREE as a pdf on my website.
I also hope you will check out my latest post on YouTube, Looking for Jesus Part 2
Blessings in Jesus name,
Christian

Thank you for checking in on another edition of the End Times Berean Watchman Report!
Wow! What an amazing few weeks since President Donald Trump has returned to the White House! So much has happened that it’s hard to believe, but whatever else it may represent, it is presenting an open door to the church in America to share the Gospel in these Last Days.
I’m still concentrating on making videos, but I will also soon be at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Dallas, TX. If you’ll be there or in the area, you’ll be able to find me in the Exhibit Hall in Booth #1233 from February 25-27. Please pray that the Lord will open some doors there for people to learn about the things that He has helped me discover.

Wow! What an amazing result in the U.S. Elections on Tuesday, November 5th. We must not forget that the results were no less under God’s sovereign control than in 2020, but the outcome was so much better. Hallelujah!
I’ve been concentrating on making my own videos lately, so I hope you have been able to check out most of them. The latest one is about looking for the Rapture.

There has been an awful lot going on these past few months, but I don’t think we’ve seen anything yet. By the time we are settling into 2025, I expect things will start to look pretty wild and eerily prophetic. One of those things that is worth watching are the prophetic looking convergences around President Trump.

The Rise of the Beasts for 42 Months
End Times Berean Watchman Report
June 21, 2024 – No. 46
Analysis and commentary on today’s prophetic events from author and biblical researcher – Dr. Christian Widener
Thank you for checking in on another edition of the End Times Berean Watchman Report!
It’s been a while since my last report, so I’d like to give you an update on what I’ve been up to. Since April, I’ve been getting a lot more podcast interview requests, and along with those come lots of comments to respond to on the videos as well as a flood of emails through my website.
[You can always find the latest ones on my News and Media page on my website.]
That generally keeps me pretty busy, but I need to balance responding to questions and comments with time spent in new content creation. I’m trying to follow the Holy Spirit’s lead in that process, because I think both are important.
I have also started making my own videos again. The first one was on the Abomination of Desolation, and it has had about 87K views to-date on YouTube.
I think this video has given me a format that I can duplicate successfully to help me share more of the ideas from the book and also new major updates that reveal themselves as we go along, like the AoD. So, I’ll probably do more of that and less old fashioned postings going forward. [If you subscribe to you my YouTube channel, End Times Berean, though, you will also get alerted when I release new videos.] However, never fear, writing my thoughts down is part of how I think through things, so I expect I’ll keep making posts for major new ideas as well. And I’ve got some thoughts on the rise of the beast from the sea for 42 months to share with you in this newsletter. 🙂

Rethinking the Abomination of Desolation
End Times Berean Watchman Report
April 20, 2024 – No. 45
Analysis and commentary on today’s prophetic events from author and biblical researcher – Dr. Christian Widener
Welcome to another edition of the End Times Berean Watchman Report!
I’ve got a lot to talk to you about in this issue and it has to do with rethinking our expectations about what the abomination of desolation could be, and in particular, answering many people’s questions about whether or not we could still be in a final seven year countdown.
I would just like to start by saying that I don’t think I have everything all figured out. But I do still believe that the decree of Sultan Suleiman in 1537 is significant. Rather than discard that notion because what I expected hasn’t happened yet, I did some rethinking of events and what Scripture does and doesn’t say, and I think I have a solution that is worth talking about.
First, There May Be a Level of Complexity That Has Been Missed…

Analysis and commentary on today’s prophetic events from author and biblical researcher – Dr. Christian Widener
Well, I’m back from Israel, and wanted to give you a quick update on the trip and to talk about the potential and significance of a Red Heifer sacrifice in this ETB Watchman Report, before we head off to watch the upcoming April 8 eclipse!
I want to take this chance to focus on the red heifer sacrifice and the many convergences that suggest it could be the trigger that sets everything in motion.

I would like to welcome all of you, and especially all of you who are new subscribers this month, to the ETB Watchman Report!
In this newsletter, I’d like to primarily deal with the question of the identity of the Two Witnesses. Who are they? When will they appear? What will their ministry look like? And I also have a few updates for you at the end…
FREE BOOK DOWNLOAD Update. — I had a 2022 Version Online for the FREE PDF of Witnessing the End, BUT it is now UPDATED to the 2023 Version as of 3/7/24 (see title page of the book for the date). Go to my website if you have an old version, or if you just want to see the book pictures in color.

This is a long post, by the way, but I hope you will take some time to really think about what I have to share.
Okay, let’s get started looking into the mystery of the two witnesses!

Thank you for taking the time to examine another edition of the ETB Watchman Report!
I felt it was time for another update and some analysis of what’s been going on in Israel and the world. I apologize that it’s been so long since my last one. I only like to make updates when I have something new to say or that really needs to be commented on. Here are the topics I have to discuss with you this time:
1. The ongoing Israel-Gaza War
2. A Link to Watch my presentation on Daniel 9 and TWO seventy sevens
3. The upcoming elections in the U.S. (November 2024)
4. An update on my progress towards my next book
5. A word about the expected red heifer sacrifice
666. The likelihood of seeing the abomination of desolation as soon as the end of March, 2024…

The Final Decree
August 4, 2023 – No. 40
Analysis and commentary on today’s prophetic events from author and biblical researcher – Dr. Christian Widener
Welcome to another End Times Berean Watchman Report!
I can’t fully express what a joy it was to spend an entire month in Israel. In fact, I’m still processing everything that we saw and did while we were there. We returned to the Black Hills with summer in full swing, so it’s been a bit of a blur since we returned home. But I wanted to get this update out to you and most importantly, to share a short video of the stone decree on the Temple Mount that I really believe must be more than just an interesting historic marker. Rather, I think it presents us with a compelling case for a double fulfillment of Daniel 9:24.

Returning to Israel
May 20, 2023 – No. 39
Analysis and commentary on today’s prophetic events from author and biblical researcher – Dr. Christian Widener
Welcome to another End Times Berean Watchman Report!
Well, there has been no further progress towards restoring some form of sacrifices in Israel, as there was another missed opportunity for a Passover sacrifice this year. There were some attempts to do so, but with all of the protests, the terrorist violence, and the fact that Ramadan was being celebrated at the Temple Mount at the same time that the Jews wanted to celebrate Passover, it just didn’t happen. [Next year is a different story, though, because Ramadan will end on April 8th but the Passover won’t start until April 22nd.] Nevertheless, I am also still expecting that we could see a red heifer sacrifice later this year, or early next year.

Welcome to the new format for the End Times Berean Watchman Report!
In this issue we will explore the startling changes that have begun to go into effect in Israel with the arrival of a new right wing government and what this may mean for the return of some of the sacrifices to Israel in the near-term, i.e. maybe this coming Passover!

CASE CLOSED: The Date of Christ’s Crucifixion
I have personally wrestled with the question of both the year and specifically the day of the crucifixion for many years. When I initially published my new book, Witnessing the End, I held the view that it must have been a Thursday, rather than Friday when Jesus was crucified. People like the late Chuck Missler have even made strong cases for a Wednesday crucifixion. However, thanks to the thoughtful criticism of a pastor who recently reviewed my book I was forced to rethink that position. And while the day of the crucifixion was not a central point in my book (it is only dependent on the year), it still bore re-examination. I am now happy to say that with his help and some additional research of my own on the topic, I can finally say that I feel there is a completely satisfactory answer in every regard that preserves the Friday tradition, and I have now revised the book manuscript to reflect this change of view.

The Age of the Earth and the End of Days
There are many Christians who question the purpose of the 1000-year reign of Christ on the Earth that is mentioned in Revelation chapter 20. Therefore, it is sometimes understood to be a metaphorical and hyperbolic reference to an indefinite reign of Christ through his body the Church, prior to his return to bring final judgment and “a new heaven and a new Earth” (Revelation 21:1). Also, some Christians question the true scientific age of the Earth and attempt to reconcile the records of the genealogies listed in scripture with the findings of scientists who believe that the Earth is several billion years old. However, the early church father, Hippolytus (circa AD 170-236), had some insights to share on both of those questions that are worth considering…

Don’t Worry—Even in the Midst of Tribulation
In these increasingly tumultuous times, we need to remember a lesson that Jesus taught in Luke 12:22-40 about not worrying. I think his words apply to every time and situation, but especially to the Last Days. If you’ve found yourself spending a lot of time and effort trying to prepare for any of the troubles that look like they are hanging out there on the horizon, then I hope you will find some wisdom and comfort here for these days to help steady you.

The Division of Jerusalem and Zechariah 14
There is a modern fulfillment of Bible prophecy that I think is often overlooked, as described in Zechariah 14:2. I believe it was seen in Jordan’s invasion of Israel in 1948, along with the other surrounding Arab nations. Many Bible prophecy teachers probably still view this as a yet-future event, but the events described in verse 2 actually occurred in 1948–49. Furthermore, verse 3 describes very well the military victories that Israel has experienced since that time. Let’s take a look…
