In a time of rising global tension and spiritual fervor, Bible teacher and author Anne Graham Lotz believes humanity may be nearing the final chapter foretold in Scripture.

Lotz points to modern evangelism’s worldwide reach, historic shifts in Israel, and the recent assassination of conservative figure Charlie Kirk as indicators that the biblical end times could be approaching, as CBN reports.

Lotz, the daughter of the late evangelist Billy Graham and author of “The Vision of His Glory, Revised and Updated: Finding Hope Through the Revelation of Jesus Christ,” has long dedicated her platform to interpreting biblical prophecy. In recent conversations, she expressed that key global events align with what she believes are signs of the approaching end of days.

While she acknowledges that no one can determine the exact moment of such events, Lotz referenced Scripture stating that followers should observe warning signs and prepare themselves accordingly. “You cannot know the day or the hour,” she told CBN News, “but … we’re not supposed to be caught by surprise when all these things take place.”

One of the most significant signs, according to Lotz, is the unprecedented spread of the Christian gospel made possible through technology. She described the current era as the first in history where global evangelism is truly feasible, stating that the Gospel is “blanketing the globe” in a way that has never happened before.

Israel's 1948 Birth Linked to Prophecy

Another key sign she highlights is the founding of the state of Israel in 1948. Lotz connects this modern political event to Jesus’ parable of the fig tree, which she interprets as a metaphor for Israel’s restoration after nearly 2,000 years of dormancy following Rome's destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70.

“The fig tree in Scriptures represented Israel,” she explained, noting that its budding is a sign that “the generation that sees that will be the last generation.” For Lotz, the re-establishment of Israel marked the beginning of what she calls “the end of that timeline.”

Lotz also notes an uptick in moral and spiritual confusion across the globe. She points to events such as societal unrest and the fracturing of communities as part of a broader spiritual upheaval that, in her view, signifies prophetic fulfillment.

Charlie Kirk's Death Spurs Reflection

Among the most profound moments she cites is the assassination of conservative political commentator Charlie Kirk. Though the details surrounding the incident remain under investigation, Lotz said she was shaken by the news and experienced a period of stunned silence and grief.

In the days that followed, she said she found solace in a verse from the Gospel of John about how death can give rise to new life. Drawing from John 12:24, she recalled the image of a grain of wheat falling to the ground and dying, only to produce an abundance of fruit.

“I look at Charlie Kirk’s death … as the grain of wheat,” Lotz said. She believes that although his death was tragic and untimely, it has galvanized a generation of young believers who are now embracing and spreading their faith more actively than before.

Impact of Legacy Outpaces Lifetime Influence

Lotz remarked that Kirk's legacy has grown since his passing. “He lived to declare his faith and values and point people towards the Lord,” she said, observing that his message appears to resonate more deeply now than ever.

She noted a surge of interest from young people who, inspired by Kirk’s message and the circumstances of his death, are turning to Christianity in large numbers. To Lotz, this spiritual reawakening is yet another sign of the times.

Her recently updated book, first published to help readers understand the often-complex imagery of Revelation, now serves as a guide for those trying to interpret modern-day events through a biblical lens. Lotz hopes it can offer encouragement and clarity amid increasing turmoil.

A Message Rooted in Hope

Despite her focus on prophetic signs and the seriousness of recent events, Lotz remains optimistic. She emphasizes that the prophecies point not only to a time of great trial but ultimately to a future where righteousness prevails.

“At the end of everything,” she said, “Jesus reigns.” For Lotz, this underscores a major theme: that love overcomes hate, good triumphs over evil, and divine justice will be fulfilled.

As she continues to speak, write, and guide others in faith, Lotz’s reflections on prophecy and events like Charlie Kirk’s assassination highlight a view of contemporary history deeply intertwined with Scripture. Whether or not one agrees with her conclusions, her message is clear: be watchful, stay grounded, and find hope in what lies ahead.
