Beast Watch

This is where we track events potentially pointing to the Antichrist.

Status Update 5:
Today is March 18, 2026
It’s been over a year since the last update. Life has been busy, and I took a hiatus on updating this website. It’s going to be quite the task to revamp it, but a total overhaul of this website is in the works.

Here’s where we’re at so far.
We’re at Day 18 of the Iran-Israel-United States war.
You can keep up to date with the conflict here: https://www.iranmonitor.org/
Iran’s military and leadership have been all but completely wiped out– it would seem. Regardless, this is a significant conflict that will continue to have a huge toll. Leading up to it, there was mass civil unrest, uprisings, protests and revolutions in the streets of Iran. Rumors were swirling online of Iran’s leadership killing 60,000+ Iranian civilians in response to the anti-government protests. Further details are beyond the scope of what we will cover here. However, we will continue to keep an eye on it, as it does seem to have prophetic significance. [1][2]

Another thing to keep an eye on, is the very real concern that this current conflict may result in the destruction of the Islamic holy sites on the Temple Mount. [1][2]

Status Update 4:
Today, January 20, 2025 marks the inauguration of President Donald Trump’s 2nd (not consecutive) term. More details to come, but I’m inclined to believe that Trump might fill a “Cyrus” role. In other words, play a significant role in paving the road to the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem. No, I don’t think he’s a “man of God”, and no, I don’t believe he’s the Antichrist.

Status Update 3:
A lot has happened since the first status update.
As of August 5, 2024, it appears as though the players are moving into position.

To quickly summarize what I think is about to take place, is this:
The conflict that is going to begin (probably this week) is the one that will begin adding significantly increased pressure on the nations to form that 10-nation coalition of the Beast and the Antichrist. That coalition will begin to officially take shape through this conflict.

To be clear, Final Watch is not making any “prophetic” predictions. I am speculating based on what we have been observing through the limited information I find, and trying to look for any signs of alignment with Biblical prophecy.

There are far too many details to go into right now to explain this most recent escalation. What I will say, is that Israel and Iran are about to face off in a greater conflict than we’ve seen as of late. Their respective allies are also moving into position. The Islamic nations, groups, coalitions and their supporters (including Russia) appear to be stockpiling weapons and moving into strategic locations. The United States has sent multiple naval vessels and military groups (for lack of a better technical term), into the surrounding areas around Israel.

As I mentioned before, follow us on X for real time updates.
For the time being, Final Watch’s capacity is limited to sharing articles and posts from accounts that actually have the time and resources to track all the moving parts.

Status Update 2:
As of 10/7/2023, with the surprise attack of Hamas against Israel, the world has drastically changed. Antisemitism has exploded, and (in our opinion) it appears as though the “beginning of birth pains” has begun. We will be tracking this situation closely on X (formerly known as Twitter). Things will be developing at such a blistering pace, that it is best to follow us there.

Status Update 1:
What final.watch believes:

  • the Antichrist is a literal man
  • The Antichrist is Gog of Magog and will come from north of Israel (Turkey, maybe?)
  • the Antichrist’s kingdom will be a coalition of nations & rulers primarily comprised of Islamic nations that surround Israel.
  • one of the Antichrist’s primary goals is the extermination & enslavement of the Jewish people to take control of Jerusalem.
  • it appears likely that we will see some very visible and significant political power shifts toward the rise of this Antichrist/Beast kingdom in or near the year 2023, the 100 year anniversary of the dissolving of the Ottoman Empire
    • The ending of the Treaty of Lausanne will likely embolden Turkey and its efforts to revitalize the Ottoman empire.
    • The October 7, 2023 attacks on Israel have acted as a sort of tipping point where the world is taking sides either for/against Israel. See status updates 2 and 3.

Social Accounts to Track:

  • Our very own X account!
  • YouTube | The Temple Institute
  • FAI Wire – this account provides moment by moment status updates on what’s going on in the world as pertains to Israel and the Middle East. It’s not unreasonable to think they will expand their scope as prophetic events unfold around the world.
  • Frontier Alliance International AND Joel Richardson
    • Description: FAI and Joel Richardson provide a theologically sound, culturally informed and thoroughly informed both in study and personal experience in the topics of what’s going on in the Middle East and its Biblical/Prophetic repercussions. (I hope that made sense!)
