Friday, April 5, 2013, Dave Hunt drew his final breath and entered into the presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. His beloved wife Ruth was at his side.

Born in 1926, David Charles Haddon Hunt enjoyed the advantages of a godly upbringing and placed his trust in Jesus Christ as his personal Savior and Lord in his early teens.

As a young man, he served in the military toward the end of World War II. Afterward, he attended UCLA and received a degree in mathematics. It was during that time that he met the love of his life, Ruth Klassen. In 1950, they were married, and since both loved the outdoors, they enjoyed a beautiful honeymoon hiking in the High Sierras—perfect for two young people madly in love and with very little money to their name. Marriage was soon followed by the birth of two sons and two daughters. Ruth was a busy mother and also a gifted writer herself. She had a tremendous interest in and knowledge of history, a gift that would help Dave further down the road. Dave’s own career path led him into a position as a CPA/management consultant and later as the manager of several corporations.

Along with church-related activities, Dave initiated and became involved in numerous campus ministries and meetings in their home, with a special outreach to Jewish young people and foreign students. Many of these have stayed in touch with Dave and Ruth through the years, fondly recalling their times spent in Bible studies at the Hunts’ house.

Dave and Ruth also traveled abroad, spending time in various locations throughout Europe, meeting with believers there and ministering in many ways while raising their own family. Dave also brought Bibles and other materials into the Soviet Union during a time when it was very difficult to do so. Throughout his later years, he and Ruth traveled extensively as he was invited to speak in churches and fellowships, large and small, all over the world. Often they stayed in people’s homes, dining with them, learning their customs, and sharing God’s Word and God’s love.

The desire of Dave’s heart was ultimately to be involved in fulltime ministry, especially since he saw firsthand everywhere he went the breaking down of the true church as the world began to work its way into her midst. He began to write in 1973, warning believers about the incursion into Western culture and into the church itself of Eastern religion, psychological and selfist philosophies, ecumenism, and other unbiblical teachings.

The ministry of The Berean Call was founded by Dave in 1992. It grew out of a previous organization, of which Dave was also a founding member since 1986. With T.A. McMahon working alongside him at The Berean Call, Dave was able to share his love for and defense of Christ in the subsequent newsletters, books, videos, and speaking engagements that resulted from this ministry. Dave and T.A. wrote three books together, including the best-known The Seduction of Christianity , which was groundbreaking in its boldness, exposing false teachings in the church and daring to identify the names of the ones behind the deception.

By the early 2000s, Dave’s love for Christ and his desire to defend the name of the Lord had grown even stronger, and his concern over Islamic politics and religion are reflected in many of his articles, lectures, books, and interviews.

Then Richard Dawkins and the “new atheists” came onto the scene with a vengeance, seeking to destroy the very concept of God in the minds of everyone. Dave began to write and teach and speak more passionately than ever about the absolute truth that is in the Word of God and our need to immerse ourselves in it daily in order to prevent being taken up in the evolutionist delusion that is sweeping the world.

One of Dave’s favorite activities was to see whom God would seat next to him on airplanes as he traveled and spoke. He often said that he “could prove the existence of God” just by these providential occurrences. While writing about Islam, he would end up seated next to a Muslim who didn’t really understand what Islam was about but was eager to hear the difference between the Bible and the Qur’an. When writing about creation vs. evolution, the Lord would bring him, as a seat companion, an atheistic scientist who thought he had all the answers and was very surprised that there was another verifiable explanation to this universe.

Dave’s bold yet loving approach to any situation allowed him entrance into these conversations where many others would have been shut out. His love for Jesus, for Israel, and for people in general was obvious to all. His enthusiasm for the truth, along with his anger over the sin and wickedness that he knew was robbing people of what God wanted for them, flamed his desire to share the Lord with anyone with whom he had contact.

At least 4 million copies of his books have been sold, many of them translated into more than 50 languages. They include: The Cult Explosion; The God Makers (with Ed Decker); The Seduction of Christianity (with T.A. McMahon); Global Peace and the Rise of Antichrist; Peace, Prosperity, and the Coming Holocaust; The New Spirituality (with T.A. McMahon); Whatever Happened to Heaven?; Occult Invasion; A Woman Rides the Beast; A Cup of Trembling; In Defense of the Faith; An Urgent Call to a Serious Faith ; To Russia with Love (with Hans Kristian); What Love Is This?; Countdown to the Second Coming; Seeking and Finding God; Honest Doubts; Judgment Day!: Islam, Israel, and the Nations; Yoga and the Body of Christ; and his final book, Cosmos, Creator, and Human Destiny.

He also wrote two novels, The Mind Invaders (formerly The Archon Conspiracy ) and Sanctuary of the Chosen, along with a children’s book called The Money Tree , illustrated by his daughter Karen.

This is by no means a complete listing of all of Dave’s works. One of his videos, Israel, Islam & Armageddon, has become a tremendous tool for churches and for anyone interested in helping to spread the truth about events prior to and since the attack on the World Trade Center. His video A Woman Rides the Beast is a favorite among those who are witnessing to Catholics, a group for whom Dave had a deep love and sorrow, desiring to see them come to the knowledge of the truth.

Dave Hunt’s own drive to find and then deliver the truth is evident in everything he did. His impeccable research and recognized scholarship were based on in-depth studies of original documents and publications, interviews with key experts from around the world, and extensive travel—including to South America, Australia, Europe, India, and throughout the Middle East.

Dave has left us a legacy of inestimable value. We are blessed to be able to see and hear and read what he has taught about the evidence for God in a breathtaking number of materials. From explaining about the history of Christianity, to exposing the deception that has crept into the church, to teaching about the prophecies that are being fulfilled even today, this humble, brilliant man will go on teaching us for a very long time. We look forward to the day when we will see him again. source – Berean Call

Biblical Archaeologists In Turkey Make Astounding Discovery Regarding Noah’s Ark As The World Grows Ever Closer To The ‘Days Of Noe’ Jesus Warned About

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Jesus Warned The Last Days Would Mirror The Days Of Noe, And Now Fresh Claims About Noah’s Ark In Turkey Arrive As Another Witness To A World Ripe For Judgment

For a generation racing at full speed toward the judgment of God, it is more than a little remarkable that new claims about Noah’s Ark are surfacing right now, in the very hour when Jesus Christ told us to look back to “the days of Noe” as the prophetic template for the end. The lost world hears these reports and shrugs, the scoffers mock, the scientists argue, and life rolls on uninterrupted, exactly as it did before the flood came and swept them all away. Whether this latest discovery in Turkey turns out to be the final word on Noah’s Ark or just another breadcrumb on the trail, the larger truth remains fixed and unmovable: the world of Noah laughed at the warning until judgment fell, and this Laodicean generation is doing the very same thing here at the end of the Church Age.

“But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” Matthew 24:37 (KJB)

Jesus did not say the last days would merely contain interesting archaeological discussions, He said they would be “as the days of Noe were,” a time marked by normalcy, indifference, and total spiritual blindness. Men would eat, drink, marry, build, buy, sell, and carry on as if tomorrow is guaranteed, all while ignoring the clear warnings of coming wrath. So when headlines begin circling again around Noah, the Ark, and the flood, the Bible believer doesn’t have to force the connection, it is already there in plain sight. The issue is not whether the world can locate every timber of the Ark, the issue is whether this lost world will heed the warning the Ark represents before the door is shut once more. And Christian, mark this down, things are about to get biblical. Tick, tock, goes the end times clock.

Noah’s Ark mystery deepens as researcher blows lid on strange rock formations in Turkey

FROM THE NY POST: A researcher’s bombshell new findings about a strange rock formation in Turkey could prove that Noah’s Ark was real, according to reports. Andrew Jones, a researcher with Noah’s Ark Scans, told GB News that “exciting new findings” about the rock formation first discovered in 1959 on Turkey’s Mount Ararat could prove the boat from the Book of Genesis once existed. Ground penetrating radar scans and soil samples from the tunnel site — which reportedly match the 515-foot dimensions of Noah’s Ark — uncovered a series of “corridors” below the earth, the outlet reported.

Tunnels were discovered running down the middle of the “boat” and alongside the inside edge of the possible ship, leading to a central cavity Jones called the atrium. “God told Noah to bring the animals in. And so these animals would have stayed there, plus Noah and his family. What’s interesting is that these voids are lining up below the ground – and they’re not just random,” Jones told the outlet.

“These tunnels are also following a pattern. GPR is just a way to look below the soil using radar. There’s also been studies done with IRT, which is another geophysical technique – and they’re showing a ship-shaped hull still preserved deep in the soil,” the researcher said.

Scientists also uncovered additional evidence from soil samples that could prove that humans constructed the rock formation.

“In 2024, we took 88 random soil samples inside and outside of that ship shape,” Jones recalled. “And what they showed was that the soil inside the ship shape had three times more organic matter than right outside, and 38 per cent more potassium.”

“What that shows is that the soil is unique. And the grass, in the fall, it has a yellower color just inside. It’s exactly the link given to the Bible. It’s 300 Egyptian cubits. For us, these are all positive lines that we’re pursuing, and it’s showing that there’s more to be found,” he said.

Fossil remains found deposited around the boat-shaped site, which sits roughly 6,500 feet above sea level, could also show evidence of the Great Flood, Jones argued. Ancient coral and seashells uncovered by researchers could prove that “one time this area was underwater,” he added. Jones and his team are now considering exploring the mysterious tunnels with a robotic device. “We have a team that is designing a robotic, remote-controlled device that could go down inside the holes and explore the tunnels,” he told the outlet.

Politicians In Washington Have Spent Many Years Stealing 2 Chronicles 7:14, Pretending America Can Claim A Promise God Gave To The Jews And Israel

America Is Not Israel, The Capitol Is Not The Temple, And Washington Needs To Stop Hijacking 2 Chronicles 7:14 To Sell A False Hope Of National Healing

For years, politicians in Washington have been quoting 2 Chronicles 7:14 like God was speaking to the United States of America, but He was not. That promise was given to Solomon concerning Israel, the Temple, and the land God gave to the Jewish people. America is not Israel, the Capitol is not the Temple, and wrapping a Jewish covenant promise in the American flag does not make it true. It only makes the biblical confusion worse. When professing Christian steal a promise God gave to the Jews and Israel alone and apply it to the Church, that’s called Replacement Theology, and it’s deadly and demonic.

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJB)

Every election cycle, every national prayer breakfast, every staged moment of patriotic religion eventually seems to come back to 2 Chronicles 7:14. Politicians love that verse because it sounds holy, hopeful, and nationalistic all at the same time. It gives them the language of humility, prayer, repentance, and healing without requiring them to rightly divide the word of truth. But no matter how often they quote it, 2 Chronicles 7:14 is not a promise to America. That verse was spoken by the LORD to Solomon after the dedication of the Temple. The context is Israel. The house is the Temple in Jerusalem. The people are the Jewish people. The land is the land God gave to Israel. The surrounding verses make it impossible to miss unless someone is determined not to see it. God warns that if they forsake Him, He will pluck them up by the roots out of “my land, which I have given them.” That is not America, and it never was.

Donald Trump given 2 Chronicles 7:14 to read

US President Donald Trump is expected to contribute a recorded reading from 2 Chronicles 7:11–22 as part of the event. Organizers said the passage was specifically reserved for him due to its longstanding use as a call to prayer in the United States. His reading will be delivered from the Oval Office. source

And yet for decades Washington has treated this verse like a standing covenant promise to the United States. Why? Because it feeds the myth that America is somehow a modern Israel, a specially favored nation that can claim Old Testament promises made to the Jews. That is not Bible belief, that is theological fraud wrapped in civil religion. It is politicians using scripture they do not understand to create a false sense of national destiny. Or maybe they do understand, and the deception is intentional. Take your pick, it works either way.

America does not have a covenant with God like Israel did. America was never promised a holy land. America was never given a Temple. America was never placed under the blessings and cursings of the Mosaic covenant. So when a senator, president, governor, or public preacher stands up and applies 2 Chronicles 7:14 directly to this nation, he is not preaching revival, he is misusing scripture. That confusion has done enormous damage. It has taught generations of Christians to chase patriotic restoration instead of biblical truth. It has made them think that national healing comes by claiming Israel’s promises instead of preaching the gospel of the grace of God. It has replaced right division with emotional nationalism, or to be more specific, Christian Nationalism. This lie has convinced many sincere believers that if enough Americans pray, then God is somehow bound to heal this country under a promise He never made to it.

The Church is not Israel. The Body of Christ is not an earthly nation with land promises, a Temple, and kingdom covenants. The Church is a heavenly people, and our doctrine for this present age comes through Paul’s epistles. Yes, there are spiritual truths we can learn from 2 Chronicles 7:14 about the seriousness of sin and the importance of repentance. But the passage itself belongs to Israel, doctrinally and prophetically, and ought never to be hijacked for America. What this country needs is not another politician waving 2 Chronicles 7:14 from behind a podium. America does not need a misapplied covenant promise. America needs the gospel. America needs men in pulpits who will stop flattering the nation with stolen verses and start telling the truth. The answer is not pretending the United States has taken Israel’s place. The answer is preaching salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ to lost sinners while there is still time.

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: America Has Grown Weary Of The Endless Flip-Flopping On The Iran War Coming From The Trump White House

Trump Pushes America Closer To The Brink As Iran Tensions Rise, Nuclear Fears Grow, And A Region Already On Fire Braces For The Next Deadly Misstep

Americans are not crying out for some cinematic march to military glory in Iran. They want this thing brought to an end, and they want it ended before it turns into another endless Middle East war with no clear objective, no clean finish, and no honest accounting of the cost. Polling has consistently shown more opposition than support for the war, broad disapproval of Trump’s handling of it, and very little appetite for deeper escalation like sending ground troops. What is making that frustration worse is all the confusion that’s coming from Trump himself.

“The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in.” Isaiah 24:10 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, one day Trump talks like total victory is the only acceptable outcome, the next day he is touting talks, ceasefires, delegations, deadlines, and “deals,” only to pivot back again to threats, seizures, ultimatums, and fresh warnings. Even recent coverage has described his own statements on Iran as conflicting, with diplomacy announced alongside coercive moves that seem to undercut the very negotiations he says he wants. That kind of back-and-forth does not project strength to a weary public; it projects drift, improvisation, and a White House making it up one hour at a time. That is the real political problem. The country as a whole wants the war over, but Trump keeps making contradictory moves that leave everyone guessing what “over” is supposed to mean. Is it regime collapse, a nuclear surrender, a temporary ceasefire, a face-saving treaty, or just another social media post declaring victory before the dust has settled? The broader public may tolerate a negotiated exit if it actually ends the danger, but many of Trump’s own supporters are far less likely to accept an outcome that looks like retreat wrapped in dramatic soundbytes. So Trump is now trapped by his own mixed messaging: he has talked too hard to sell a soft landing easily, but he has moved far too erratically to make decisive victory look believable. Today we give you all the updates on the end times events coming out of the Middle East, and the ecumenical revival coming out of the White House.
