Tom Hughes of "Hope for Our Times" takes on a common accusation, that Israel is no longer God's chosen people, countering it with Scripture and current examples of anti-Israel bias in politics and media. He highlights archaeological finds, including a priest's bell dated to 70 AD, and closes with the song "Daughters of Zion" by Aaron Shust, a reflection on God's promise to restore His people.
Carl Teichrib (author of "Game of Gods") traces the story of Babel from Genesis 11 into its modern echoes at Burning Man, where he runs an outreach ministry each year.

Bestselling author Carl Gallups unveils the research behind his book "Golgotha's Groaning," a claimed pattern of the cross encoded throughout Hebrew Scripture from Genesis to Revelation.

Greg Reid, drawing on decades as a private investigator and youth pastor confronting ritual abuse and trafficking, calls the church to spiritual discernment.

Olivier Melnick, French born son of Holocaust survivors and founder of Shalom in Messiah Ministry, traces how anti-Israel rhetoric has progressed through colonization, occupation, apartheid, and genocide rhetoric.

J.B. Hixson unpacks the biblical blueprint for the coming Antichrist and global tyranny system, tracing the Beast in Daniel and Revelation and the Luciferian conspiracy researched in his "Spirit of the Antichrist" trilogy. He closes with a gospel invitation for anyone uncertain of their salvation, along with resources (books, Rapture Kits, the NBW Ministries app) for believers and those who come to faith after the Rapture.
Opening the conference, Mark Hitchcock walks through Isaiah 50 against the historical crisis of Israel and Judah under Assyrian threat, tracing God's promise of a future through the Messianic Servant prophecies (linking Isaiah 50 to 52-53).
