Book Review: The Last Witness by César Castro   The Last Witness is a gripping and prophetic Christian thriller that blends end-time revelation with human struggle and faith under fire. César Castro paints a vivid picture of a world descending into spiritual chaos, where one faithful believer becomes the final voice of truth amid persecution and deception. The story captures both the urgency of the hour and the deep hope found in God’s promises.   Castro’s writing is intense yet compassionate, filled with biblical insight and emotional depth. Each chapter challenges readers to examine their faith and commitment to Christ in a world that increasingly rejects Him. The Last Witness is more than a story—it’s a call to spiritual readiness and courage. A must-read for those who love prophetic fiction with a powerful message of endurance and redemption.Book is also available on Amazon.

From the beginning, God has revealed His plans through time and prophecy. One of the greatest revelations in all of Scripture is found in the book of Daniel, chapter nine — the prophecy of the seventy weeks. This prophetic timetable unveils God’s redemptive plan for Israel and the entire world. Daniel, in prayer and fasting, sought understanding for his people’s captivity, and God responded by revealing the exact timeline that would lead to the coming of the Messiah, His death, and the ultimate restoration of all things.

The world trembles under the weight of prophecy unfolding before our eyes. Jesus said in Matthew 24 that we would hear of wars and rumors of wars, famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in diverse places. These are the beginning of sorrows. Yet, as believers, we must not fear. The Lord told us these things so that our hearts remain steadfast in faith. What we are witnessing is not chaos, but prophecy in motion—God’s timeline unfolding exactly as He declared from the beginning.

The Apostle Paul wrote, “For the mystery of iniquity doth already work.” (2 Thessalonians 2:7) These words reveal that long before the final Antichrist appears, a spirit of rebellion has been shaping the hearts of men. It is the hidden lawlessness that wages war against the authority of God. This mystery began in heaven, when Lucifer—once perfect in beauty—allowed pride to corrupt wisdom. Since that fall, humanity has wrestled with this same darkness. The world does not just rebel—it resists divine truth. And that rebellion, now clothed in culture and ideology, prepares the way for the man of sin who will rise before Christ returns.

Love is not just an emotion—it’s a command. Ephesians 5:2 says, “Walk in love, as Christ also has loved us.” To walk in love means to let it shape every step, every word, every decision. Jesus didn’t just preach love; He lived it through compassion and sacrifice. In a world growing colder, love is our greatest testimony. Every act of kindness, every word of grace, reflects the heart of Christ. When we walk in love, we bring light to darkness, hope to despair, and peace to chaos.
