Will Catholics Build the Third Temple? - Ep. 7422

Endtime

Streamed live on Oct 1, 2026  

Will Catholics help make the Third Temple possible? A new development in Jerusalem raises a fascinating question about the future of the Temple Mount and Bible prophecy.

Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, has launched a permanent interfaith initiative called “Within Your Gates: The Forum for the Universal Vocation of Jerusalem.” Developed with the University of Notre Dame's academic center in Jerusalem, the forum brings together voices from different religious traditions to discuss Jerusalem, reconciliation, peace and its future.

In this episode of The Endtime Show, Vince Stegall and Doug Norvell examine what this surprising development could mean through the lens of Bible prophecy.

Vatican reporting describes an effort to develop an “alternative narrative” shared among different religious traditions concerning Jerusalem's universal mission. Pizzaballa has described earthly Jerusalem as becoming an image of heavenly Jerusalem and a sign of universal reconciliation and peace.

So what could Catholic-led interfaith dialogue possibly have to do with the Third Temple?

Revelation 11 describes a future Temple of God, an altar and worshippers—but also says the outer court is “given unto the Gentiles.” Endtime has long taught that this could point toward some type of future sharing arrangement on the Temple Mount.

We're not saying Catholics are currently planning to build the Third Temple. They aren't. We're asking whether growing interfaith cooperation surrounding Jerusalem could eventually help create the conditions in which Jewish Temple worship and Muslim access to the Temple Mount coexist.

At the same time, Jewish interest in the Temple Mount is increasing. Jewish visits recently reached a reported annual record, while the Temple Institute continues preparing vessels, garments and procedures associated with future Temple worship. Four potential red heifers also remain under observation, although their final halachic qualification has not been determined.

Then there are Revelation 13, 17 and 18, which Endtime has historically connected with a powerful end-time religious system possessing enormous international influence.

Could these developments eventually converge?

Join Vince Stegall and Doug Norvell as we connect Catholics, the Vatican, Jerusalem, the Temple Mount and the Third Temple—and examine what Bible prophecy says we should be watching next.

Clergy abuse survivor confronts bishop over homosexual’s parish role

A parishioner in the Diocese of Las Cruces is concerned that his church’s promotion of an active homosexual sends a message to the congregation and to the man himself that homosexuality is morally acceptable.

HOBBS, New Mexico (LifeSiteNews) — A devout Catholic is voicing his concern that an active homosexual is continuing to serve in his church’s music ministry and has been promoted to an administrative church position despite the bishop and pastor’s knowledge that his lifestyle defies Church teaching.

Leo Martinez, a clerical abuse survivor, told LifeSiteNews he requested a meeting with his local bishop, Peter Baldacchino of the Diocese of Las Cruces, to discuss three matters, one of which was the public ministry of this openly homosexual man. Martinez requested a private meeting, but the bishop insisted that Martinez’s pastor, Father Joseph Pacquing, also attend. Martinez brought his brother as well.

Martinez said he told Baldacchino during the April 22 meeting that his parish is aware of the music minister’s homosexual relationship and that his position as a music minister has been held “for a long time,” at least 20 years. The pastor, Fr. Pacquing, reportedly told Martinez that the minister does not receive Holy Communion, confirming his awareness of the man’s homosexual lifestyle.

Bishop Baldacchino’s response was to say we must “be merciful,” that they would “investigate and look into it,” and that “we’re all sinners here,” Martinez recalled.

Martinez is concerned that the man holds a position as a music minister because it sends a message to both the congregation and to the minister himself that homosexuality is morally acceptable. While one is not culpable for same-sex attraction, active homosexual behavior is a grave sin according to Catholic Church teaching.

 

Faith Leaders React to Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission Targeting Separation of Church and State

Pastor Hal Mayer

Speaker / Director

Wednesday September16th,  2026


WTTW, by Blake Thor: A report from the Presidential Religious Liberty Commission calls for a clawback of the separation of church and state, a fundamental American legal principle for more than two centuries.

Speaking at the White House Friday, Texas Lt. Gov. and Commission Chair Dan Patrick said the separation of church and state is not in the U.S. Constitution.

“The separation of church and state is not in the Constitution,” Patrick said. “And from this day forward, if anyone says that to you and they’re in public office or serve in any agency, in any official capacity, they have to point out exactly where you have violated the Constitution, because you have not. And from this day forward, that phrase should have no power over people of all faiths ever again in America.”

President Donald Trump created the commission via executive order last May. Composed almost entirely of White Christians, the commission made a series of policy recommendations based on the underlying assertion that religious Americans have suffered discrimination for expressing their beliefs in public settings.

Recommendations include creating a Presidential Medal of Religious Liberty, establishing a hotline for individuals experiencing religious discrimination and confirming “federal judges with the courage to decide religious liberty cases on the merits.”

Peter Thiel's Antichrist Obsession Explained

 

Why is JD Vance talking about the Antichrist?

In a podcast episode, the vice president implied that the ‘End Times’ might be near

JD Vance said he might be bringing about the End Times, adding that he would not be “shocked if the Antichrist was walking among us.”

Vance was speaking on the Christian YouTube show The Bryce Crawford Podcast about his memoir, Communion, which covers his conversion to Catholicism from Protestantism.

Numerous Catholics online reacted to his statements with confusion and frustration, saying that the ideas about the apocalypse Vance voiced are not central parts of Catholicism. While Catholicism does discuss the idea of the Second Coming, a time in which Christians believe Jesus will return to Earth, the Catholic Church Catechism — the Vatican’s official statements and teachings about the fundamentals of the religion — says that “we are already at ‘the last hour’” ever since Jesus died; the Antichrist is mentioned only briefly as a “a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God,” not as a specific person who will come to the world.

The Antichrist and Armageddon, however, take center stage in many Evangelical churches, where these concepts often drive other extremist ideas, such as labeling politicians the Antichrist — at one point during the Obama administration, a poll found that one in four Americans thought the president might be the Antichrist — as well as Christian Zionism, an attempt to get all Jews to return to Jerusalem to hasten the apocalypse, when many believe Jews will be sent to Hell.

As one snarky Catholic commenter put it, Vance’s apocalypse-heavy discussion of his Catholicism sounded like “three evangelicals in a trench coat.”

It also sounded a lot like Peter Thiel, the billionaire Palantir founder and Vance’s mentor, donor and former employer. Thiel has a famed obsession with the Antichrist; earlier this year, several Catholic institutions distanced themselves from a series of lectures Thiel gave in Rome on the topic. Vance cited Thiel as an influence on his conversion in an essay about why he chose Catholicism, despite the fact that Thiel is not Catholic.

Taxpayer-funded trans dolls with removable genitalia to hit classrooms this fall for kids as young as 4 to ‘learn about different options’

By Gabrielle Fahmy
Published July 25, 2026, 7:23 a.m. ET


They’re dolling up the trans agenda — and taxpayers are footing the bill.

“First-of-their-kind” transgender dolls — complete with removable genitalia — will debut in some Minnesota classrooms this fall to kids as young as 4 years old.

The paper dolls, with gender-neutral names like “Sam,” “Rory,” “Avery” and “Parker,” have removable internal and external genitals, along with more than 100 interchangeable pieces of clothing, accessories and hairstyles — like a trans Mr./Mrs. Potato Head.

The dolls will be made available to kids between 4 and 10 years old in Minnesota this fall.University of Minnesota

The goal is for kids to “learn about the different options that exist for who they can be,” according to a therapist at the University of Minnesota Medical School, which spent over half a decade developing the controversial project funded by lefty Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz


The Medical School’s Institute for Sexual and Gender Health research over those six years included paying $20 to $60 for “trans and gender diverse” children and their parents to play with the dolls and “talk about gender and bodies” in groups.

Prototypes of the dolls were shown in a 2024 conference where one named “Sam” can be seen in what appears to be some phase of a gender transition, with a detachable penis off to the side, and a dress and girls’ underwear within reach.

The trans dolls — which promise to “make gender fun” — will be made available to teachers, school counselors, pediatricians and mental health providers, according to a website of the “MyGender Dolls” company. It features an image of a boy doll wearing a dress and others in various states of sexual identity confusion.

It’s not known whether parents — or children themselves — will be able to order a doll, or if they will only be marketed to professionals and schools. It is not known if parents will be able to opt out of such “therapeutic play” for their kids.

The dolls began as a University of Minnesota research project, which was later spun into a commercial venture — “MyGender Dolls” — by two licensed psychologists who are professors at the medical school.

The website does not reveal the cost of the paper dolls.

The University of Minnesota’s Medical School has been receiving $15 million annual funding from the state via Walz — cash earmarked to “increase the medical school’s research capacity” and “ensure its national prominence.”

Mamdani forgot he’s just a mayor. The State Department had to remind him

Story by Anthony Maranise, Washington Examiner

Mamdani forgot he’s just a mayor. The State Department had to remind him

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration recently scheduled a meeting between his commissioner of international affairs and Iran’s U.N. ambassador. The meeting was only stopped after the State Department intervened and ordered it canceled.

Mamdani says he didn’t know about it. That is not a defense. It is an admission that either his office is freelancing foreign policy or he sees nothing wrong with it.

He is a city mayor. Nothing more. The fact that he leads the largest city in the country does not grant him authority to conduct diplomacy with a regime that actively works against U.S. interests. Foreign policy belongs to the federal government. Period.

Local officials exist to handle local problems: crime, transit, housing, and basic services. They do not get to insert themselves into matters of national security and international relations. When a mayor’s team attempts back-channel contact with Iran’s representative at the United Nations, it is not bold leadership. It is arrogant overreach.

This episode fits a pattern. Mamdani ran on a platform that treated the mayoralty as a platform for progressive ideology rather than competent local governance. Now, his administration has demonstrated the same confusion of roles in practice. While City Hall dabbles in foreign affairs that it has no business touching, New Yorkers continue to deal with failing infrastructure, strained public safety resources, and a city government that too often prioritizes symbolism over results.

Dr. Ben Carson SAID that, the US Constitution Says Nothing About Church and State separation!!!??

Hantavirus sparks fear, questions for some students in post-COVID world

By Kate Perez and Allison Kiehl Chicago Tribune (TNS)
May 21, 2026

A passenger of the hantavirus-stricken cruise ship MV Hondius is pictured while leaving by military bus after disembarking in the port of Granadilla de Abona on the island of Tenerife in Spain’s Canary Islands on May 11. Adverse weather conditions forced the cruise ship MV Hondius hit by a deadly hantavirus outbreak and anchored off Spain’s Canary Islands to dock before evacuations can be completed, the health ministry said.Jorge Guerrero / AFP


CHICAGO — Brooke Loughman knows that when she opens a social media app, she’ll be flooded with posts, whether she wants to see them or not. Lately, the first-year DePaul University student has found herself scrolling quickly through her feed, trying to avoid information about hantavirus and the wave of anxiety she experiences thinking about the possibility of another pandemic like COVID-19.

“If it is going to be a really big deal, I would rather not prematurely freak out, because if it is going to be like a COVID-19 scale thing again, I’d rather have some sense of normalcy for as long as I can,” said Loughman, who is 19.

Loughman’s thoughts are echoed by students scarred by living through the coronavirus pandemic.

The fresh mix of news and misinformation about hantavirus on social media is stirring up negative emotions for some young people, carried over from living on lockdown. COVID-era anxiety can linger and resurface, even more than half a decade after the pandemic, mental health experts say. The unknowns of a new virus outbreak, coupled with an influx of sometimes unreliable information, can generate fear, dread and anxiety.

In other words, the aftereffects of COVID-19 are still present, according to Tara Leytham Powell, an associate professor of social work at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. “All the impacts of that, the loss of income, the social isolation, the fear of the illness, all those things still exist in people’s minds,” Powell, who is currently researching COVID’s lasting impacts on mental health.

A Closer Look at John Lomacang's MAGA Sermon

March 16, 2025

Gerry Wagoner

John Lomacang recently gave a sermon titled Make Adventism Great Again. While the title is praiseworthy, the latter part of his sermon drifted into politics, highlighting his own political preferences. Some of the high points of his message are:

59:32 – He states, without offering evidence, that some in our church are leaning towards evangelicalism, and buying into their agenda. Exactly what that agenda is, he doesn’t say, but it is presumed to be bad.

59:56 – He says conservatism is not biblical, and we should not get the two mixed up. In this he appears to be taking a shot at those who oppose unbiblical liberalism in the church. He quotes selectively from 5T:

“The work which the church has failed to do in a time of peace and prosperity she will have to do in a terrible crisis under most discouraging, forbidding circumstances. The warnings that worldly conformity has silenced or withheld must be given under the fiercest opposition from enemies of the faith. And at that time the superficial, conservative class, whose influence has steadily retarded the progress of the work, will renounce the faith”--5T 463 (1885).

I believe Lomacang uses this particular passage in 5T because of the word conservatism, which provides a springboard to his political concerns which follow.

He fails to point out that Ellen White is not referring to theological conservatism, but rather those who put “worldly conformity” first and God’s cause second. We agree with him that superficial believers will renounce the faith, the Bible is clear on that, calling it the ‘Falling away’ in 2 Thessalonians 2:3. The term ‘falling away’ comes from the Greek word apostasia which refers to defection from the one true God—‘repenting’ from good unto evil. Christ declared, “As it was in the days of Lot, … even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed” (Luke 17:28-30). This is home central for apostate Protestantism and apostate Adventism, which are ideologically aligned and will become more so in these last days.
