Isaiah 8:23 You shall not say conspiracy to everything that this people calls a conspiracy...
JD'S BIBLE PROPHECY Updates:
"Say not conspiracy to everything" and taking a fresh look at Bible prophecy
This is an opportune time to share why I value Pastor JD Farag’s Prophecy Updates and his website. While his style may not be for everyone, God has truly blessed me through this ministry. Whether you have listened to his updates, read the transcripts, or just considered the topics I have shared in the past, you know Pastor JD doesn’t shy away from difficult subjects and aligns them through a biblical perspective.
One significant issue he addressed was QAnon and the Great Awakening during our global shared “COVID” experience. I have no doubt God led me to his YouTube message back then, and ultimately to his website. Little did I know how close I was to being mandated to take the “COVID” solution to keep my job, either. However, preparing just in case, I applied and received an exemption letter offered through JD Farag’s ministry. I also had no idea how many of those I worked with would come to me to get my thoughts on QAnon, which I really wasn’t familiar with. It was a big topic of discussion back then.
I started investigating QAnon and listening to the “Q” Drops. I immediately felt something was off. While researching, I came across Pastor JD’s Prophecy Update on the topic, and I listened. I realized why I was hesitant and agreed with his insights on this movement. I have tuned in to his prophecy updates ever since.
JD was born in Beirut, Lebanon, to an Egyptian father and Arab mother and later immigrated to America in 1963. His passionate delivery offers a unique perspective, both biblically and linguistically, that I find insightful. He boldly continues to address topics and relevant information that, sadly, many pastors will not. The truth is, we will continue to face waves of greater deceptions through propaganda, and increased emotionally driven spiritual awakenings and movements.
I’ve included links to this earlier message, along with a more recent message regarding our need to take a “fresh” look at Bible prophecy, as we rapidly move towards the Day of the LORD. While I am still watching, learning, and seeking God on these matters, I admittedly don’t have it all figured out. But I believe it prepares me to discern things that are happening in our world today more clearly.
Although it may appear that QAnon has disappeared, the terms and ideas brought forth during this movement are alive and well. We see them much in the geopolitical arena through catchphrases such as “the storm,” “trust the plan,” “golden age,” and more. These conspiracies, heralded as “theories,” have much truth behind them, which is why I am not a “conspiracy theorist” but a “conspiracy realist.” Caution is always needed, however, when researching and going down the “rabbit hole,” as I call it, to seek the truth behind the movement, the propaganda, the “conspiracy,” and the real intent of them. Most of which are to cause division, and ultimately are in line with the “father of lies,” who conspires not only against God Almighty, but against God’s people.
Scripture warns us not to call everything a conspiracy in Isaiah 8:12-13, “You shall not say conspiracy [an unlawful alliance] to everything that this people calls a conspiracy, nor fear what they fear, nor tremble at it. (13) The LORD of Hosts is the One you shall regard as holy. Only He should be feared; only He should you dread.” In other words, we in Christ do not live in fear nor panic over these things happening as the world does. We fear God and not man and their ungodly plans. We do this by keeping our focus on Christ Jesus, cleaving to Him - the Way, the Truth, the Life. I say this because most assuredly, more deceptions and wars both in the physical and spiritual realm will continue to increase until God removes the restrainer and allows the man of lawlessness his short moment of unholy reign. Never forget that God is sovereign over all, and we can “Trust His Plan”, not any other plan.
JD Prophecy Update 2020-07-19, The Great Awakening: Pastor JD explains why the QAnon Great Awakening may very well become the great deception.
Transcript Excerpts: “As for ‘The Great Awakening’, it's a term coined by QAnon to suggest that the general human population is waking up during this time period to the fact that the power structures have been intentionally keeping them domesticated and controlled like sheep. To those who are wondering why it is that this rises to the level of devoting an entire update to QAnon, I have three reasons for doing so at this time.
#1. I'm doing this out of obedience to what I believe the Lord would have me to do.
#2. The QAnon movement has become a source of division and confusion within the body of Christ, and sadly it's even dividing families and splitting marriages.
#3. The third reason, and perhaps more importantly, is a sense of conviction from the Holy Spirit concerning my integrity before the Lord. Such that I could no longer avoid the proverbial "elephant in the room," as it were.

JD Prophecy Update – 2026-04-26, Rethinking What’s Thought And Taught About Bible Prophecy: Pastor JD talks about our need to rethink what’s thought and taught about Bible prophecy as we’re all prone to just settle for and be satisfied with the majority and not check our prophecy bias at the door of God’s Word so the Lord can give us new eyes to freshly see with more Biblical clarity.
Transcript excerpts: “I need to talk with you openly and candidly about what the Lord has been and still is teaching me. You know, the teacher needs to be the most teachable. And I'd like to think that I posture myself before the Lord, humble myself before the Lord as a teacher of His word, which is my profound privilege to be. And I do so as a teacher who is teach-able.”

Disclaimer: While I support, value, and recommend Pastor JD Farag, I may not fully agree with all his views expressed. However, based on my personal studies, seeking the Word through His Spirit, and growth, my views closely align with this ministry. Each of us needs to be like a Berean, seeking understanding personally, while remaining open to growth and discussion. May we continue to seek God’s wisdom and validate all things through His Word. May our continued studying and watching regarding these topics to encourage discussion rather than division. May we grow and learn together while remaining open to being teachable, as iron sharpens iron, as it is written in Proverbs 27:17.
