Is the Epstein Scandal a Biblical End Times Warning?

Something is rotten in the state of America - and it stinks all the way to the top. The Jeffrey Epstein scandal has exposed a twisted web of elitist depravity, with the mainstream media desperately trying to protect the rich and powerful from accountability.

But as Christian journalists, we must ask: is this more than just the latest lurid news cycle? Could the Epstein affair be a prophetic sign of the end times?

The Veil is Lifted

The Epstein files are a horrifying read. Thousands of pages documenting a global sex trafficking operation, implicating the highest levels of politics, business, and even royalty. And the broader public is finally getting a glimpse behind the curtain of elite corruption.

"This is not incompetence. This is not bias. This is coordinated institutional capture at a level that would have seemed impossible to articulate in polite company until very recently," writes investigative journalist Caitlin Johnstone.

Indeed, the scope of the coverup is staggering. President Trump's name appears over 1 million times in the Epstein documents - and yet the mainstream media narrative remains remarkably consistent: "there's nothing to see here."

A Warning from Scripture

As Bible-believing Christians, we cannot ignore the prophetic implications of such brazen wickedness at the highest levels of society. The book of 2 Timothy warns that "in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive..." (2 Tim 3:1-2)

The Epstein scandal lays bare the fulfillment of these end times prophecies, with the global elite indulging in every manner of greed, perversion, and oppression.

"They will be...without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God," the Scripture continues (2 Tim 3:3-4).

A Call to Discernment

In these last days, the church must not be deceived by the theater of mainstream media. We are called to be "wise as serpents and innocent as doves," discerning the true nature of the times (Matt 10:16).

The Epstein affair is not just another salacious scandal. It is a prophetic warning, a glimpse into the depths of depravity that will characterize the end of the age. As followers of Christ, we must remain vigilant, grounded in biblical truth, and ready for His return.
