End Times Deception, ‘Doctrines of Demons’ and the Truth About Israel
Pastor Jack Hibbs believes there’s a rampant deception afoot confusing and confounding Christians and others when it comes to the topic of Israel.
The preacher, reflecting on last month’s terror attack against Jewish people at Bondi Beach in Australia, said he immediately recognized in the wake of the horror the same evil pattern observed during the assault waged by Hamas on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.
“It feels like the beginning of something that history has recorded over the centuries, and that is the rise of Islamic Jihad,” he said.
Hibbs said there’s a theological reason the Jewish people are so often the targets of hatred and chaos.
“What has history shown? Well, let’s go back to Egypt. Let’s go back to Babylon. Let’s go back to the Medo-Persian Empire. Let’s go back to the Assyrian Empire. Let’s go back to the Grecian Empire, the Roman Empire,” he said. “You can just go back to every empire that’s ever been, and the target has been the Jewish people.”
He continued, “Now, either … they got really, really bad luck, or there is something that has a spiritual connection to it that maybe the God of the Bible wrote all this stuff out telling us why it’s happening and that Israel does have a day of reckoning coming for its sake.”
Hibbs said that this day of reckoning is a deliverance during which Israel will be relieved from the nations that have persecuted, murdered, and taken their land. Ultimately, the pastor believes the physical events being observed right now are a manifestation of what’s happening spiritually.
“I believe what we’re seeing in the world today, physically, is a manifestation of what’s happening in the world of the invisible spiritual realm,” he said.
One of the issues he lamented has been a perceived antisemitism or anti-Israel sentiment that is increasingly permeating the conservative movement.
While right-leaning critics have long criticized people on the political left for such dynamics, Hibbs said there have been shifts among conservatives — including prominent individuals — as well. He believes these shifts and changes are spiritual.
He noted it’s likely the result of the fact that “Jesus actually knew what he was saying when he said in the last days there’s going to be doctrines of demons and deceiving spirits that are going to be deceiving people.”
“I don’t think anybody … is deceived if somebody jumps out of a bush with red underwear on and a pitchfork and a black goatee,” Hibbs continued. “You’re not going to be deceived by that, but you will be deceived by what Jesus warned us about. Jesus said, be careful what you hear. “So, today, there are very famous people with very big followings because they’re saying things, and it’s more of a personality cult that people are following these influencers.”
But rather than merely material, he believes some of what’s being said is being fed by the demonic.
“Behind it all, there are doctrines of demons and deceiving spirits that are manipulating people just like [we] might sit down and play chess,” Hibbs said. “We are thinking it all out, we’re playing it out on the board, and from time to time, we will actually move our piece. There’s a lot of spirit stuff going on in the invisible realm, and from time to time, you’ll see the piece move in the physical realm on the table.”
At the moment, Hibbs said a lot of the pieces are rapidly moving around the globe. He encouraged Christians to be watchful and to observe what’s going on, encouraging them to defend Israel.
“When we mention Israel or the Jew or the land, this is something that everybody needs to take a deep breath and study on,” he said. “There’s no other country in the history of man where God has clumped something together from Father Abraham — and that is the Jew. This person called the Jew. What is the Jew? The origin of the Jew, the Israeli, the Hebrew people, the land … God promised the land to Abraham and his believing descendants.”
Hibbs said Israel is “altogether unique” and that people shouldn’t approach Israel the same way they do other countries. Israel must be seen through a biblical lens, he argued.
“When Jesus Christ returns in the Second Coming and sets up His throne, the Bible tells you where it’s going to be,” he said. “It says he returns to Israel, not Palestine. It says in the Bible, He’s going to return to Israel and He’s going to set up his throne in Jerusalem, more specifically in the city of David, which is called Zion.”
He said this word “Zion” can be triggering, but he believes there’s an important significance.
“I think we are so close to epic biblical times that names and words like ‘Israel,’ the ‘Jew,’ ‘Zion’ just blows people up,” Hibbs said. “Because why? I think it’s a spiritual indicator. It’s like a barometer or a weather vane pointing. It’s amazing.”

After November 3, 2026, at 11:59 pm Eastern Standard Time, all people boarding an international flight to the United States must attest (sign a statement) that they have not been present in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in the 21 days before boarding a flight to the United States. An attestation is a statement that confirms that the information provided is true. Willfully providing false or misleading information may lead to criminal fines and imprisonment (18 U.S.C. § 1001).
Attestation Order
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued an Order on October 22, 2026, requiring that all air travelers boarding an international flight into or connecting through the United States sign a statement (attestation) that they have not been present in DRC in the 21 days prior to boarding the flight to the United States.
On October 28, 2026, CDC issued an Amended Order to clarify that the requirement for the attestation applies to all people traveling on any aircraft, including crew on passenger- and cargo-carrying aircraft involved in operation of aircraft or the positioning of crew not operating the aircraft (e.g., on “deadhead” status). The overall risk to the American public and travelers remains low.
This requirement goes into effect November 3, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. EST. The requirement will apply to flights departing from a foreign country to the United States at or after 11:59 p.m. EST on November 3, 2026.

A fillable PDF version of the attestation (Attachment A) is available in English, Spanish, and French for use by airlines.
Technical Instructions
These Technical Instructions provide guidance to domestic and foreign airlines and aircraft operators on the implementation of the CDC Order. The Technical Instructions are applicable to airlines and aircraft operators intending to board any people subject to the Order on any flight from a foreign country to the United States. Airlines and aircraft operators intending to board people subject to the Order are required to take the measures described in the Order, as described below.
CDC’s Order is complemented by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Enforcement Notice.
Applicability
The attestation requirement applies to all people who intend to board a flight destined for the United States unless they have an exemptionA issued by the U.S. Government.
Airlines and Aircraft Operators Must
Confirm, at or shortly before the time of boarding, that all people onboard the aircraft, or a representative authorized to act on their behalf, have completed an attestation (i.e., by physical or authenticated digital signature or through electronic attestation checkbox) confirming that they have not been present in the DRC during the 21 days before boarding a flight to the United States, including transit through a DRC airport whether or not they disembarked.
Prohibit the boarding of any person who has failed to complete and present such an attestationB unless they have an exemption issued by the U.S. Government.
Retain a copy of the completed version of the attestation for each person for at least 42 days after the person’s flight arrives in the United States from a foreign country and be able to provide the attestation to the U.S. Government upon request.
Attestation Implementation
Airlines or aircraft operators must implement a process by which they will collect and retain this attestation in digital or paper form. CDC has posted a fillable PDF version of the attestation for use by airlines.

2 in 3 Churchgoers Fail Bible Literacy Quiz
If churches gave pop quizzes on the Bible this Sunday, most people in the pews would fail.
Lifeway Research asked more than 2,000 American Christian churchgoers dozens of questions about general Bible knowledge. The average respondent scored 51. Around 2 in 3 (65%) earn an F, below 60. Almost 1 in 10 (9%) receive a D, between 60 and 69. Another 9% receive a C, between 70 and 79. Just 8% score a B, 80 to 89, and 9% reach A status, 90 and higher.
“Church leaders often theorize that churchgoers don’t know their Bibles but have typically lacked objective proof,” said Scott McConnell, executive director of Lifeway Research. “This study confirms most Christian churchgoers haven’t learned or don’t remember many things in the Bible and how it is organized.”
Bible quiz categories
The study asked dozens of questions across eight categories of Bible literacy: people of the Bible, which books of the Bible contain certain narratives, ordering specific Biblical events, filling in the blanks of Bible verses, which major division suits the book of the Bible, identifying whether a book belongs in the Old or New Testament or is not part of the Bible, knowing whether a phrase is included in the Bible and general Bible knowledge.
“This study measures Bible literacy using eight approaches, with a handful of questions in each. Significant examples were selected from the Bible for the questions rather than obscure characters or events. The goal was not to trick anyone but to understand their recall of what they have read and been taught,” said McConnell.
How well would you score? Take the Lifeway Research Bible literacy quiz now
In the people of the Bible section, respondents were most likely to correctly identify Moses as the person who received the Ten Commandments from God (94% correct v. 5% incorrect). Churchgoers were most confused over who the first king of Israel was (45% correct v. 46% incorrect). Out of the five options, Saul, the correct answer, was the top answer (45%), but 32% say David, 11% Herod, 2% Ahab, 1% Aaron and 9% not sure.
Christian churchgoers are most likely to know the great flood is in the book of Genesis (64%). Only around a third (35%) know the anointing of the first king of Israel happens in 1 Samuel. Around 3 in 10 (29%) guess 1 Kings, and a quarter (24%) aren’t sure.
Only 11% correctly order the events of Deborah judging Israel, David killing Goliath, Jonah being swallowed by a big fish and Esther delivering Israel. Churchgoers are most likely (27%) to correctly order the New Testament events of Mary’s song of thanksgiving, Nicodemus’ conversation about rebirth, Peter’s denial of Jesus and Paul’s arrest in Jerusalem.
Four in 5 (80%) Christian churchgoers can correctly fill in the blank when “believes” is left out of John 3:16. Just 28%, however, know Micah 6:8 says the Lord requires mankind to “act justly, and to love faithfulness, and to walk humbly with your God.”
Most (56%) know Mark fits in the Gospels, while 34% guess another major section of the Bible and 9% aren’t sure. On the other hand, 29% correctly place 1 Samuel in history. Most (54%) put it in a different section, including major prophets (16%), minor prophets (9%) or Gospels (6%). Around 1 in 6 (17%) aren’t sure.
Three in 4 Christian churchgoers correctly place 1 Corinthians in the New Testament (74%) and Psalms (73%) in the Old Testament. Most (55%) miss Philemon’s New Testament location, with 29% guessing it’s in the Old Testament and 26% saying it’s not a book in the Bible. Two in 3 (67%) wrongly identify Hezekiah as a Biblical book. Half (51%) do the same for Haggar, and 44% wrongly believe the Gospel of Thomas is in the Bible.
In general Bible knowledge, 74% know Passover is the feast that celebrates God saving the firstborn of Israel from death. When given a list of six potential miracles and asked which one the Gospels do not record Jesus performing, half (52%) miss that Jesus did not turn stones to bread, including 21% who instead say healing an ear that had been cut off and 20% who say feeding the 4,000 are not miracles of Jesus.
Three in 4 churchgoers (74%) know “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord” is in the Bible. Only half (51%) rightly say “God shall help those who help themselves” is not in Scripture.
“Christian churchgoers are more adept at recognizing whether statements are or are not from the Bible and which people fit specific biblical events. Churchgoers struggle the most with memorizing Bible verses, understanding the major divisions of the Bible and putting Biblical events in the order they occurred,” said McConnell.
Biblical habits
Around 1 in 5 (21%) say they read the Bible personally every day, and another quarter (24%) do so a few times a week. Around 1 in 10 (9%) read Scripture weekly, 14% say they read it a few times a month and 8% read once a month. Another 22% of Christian churchgoers say they rarely or never read the Bible.
In a typical week, 56% of Christian churchgoers say their pastor’s sermon is an approach they use to learn the Bible. Almost 2 in 5 (38%) include reading devotional material. Three in 10 point to reading Bible passages or chapters without stopping (30%) or studying verses on a topic, theme or question (30%).
More than a quarter say in a typical week they learn Scripture by slowly studying verse by verse through Bible passages (28%) or listening to sermons from other churches (27%). Fewer say they listen to podcasts about the Bible (23%) or read articles about the Bible (19%). One in 10 (9%) say they don’t do any of these in a typical week.
Churchgoers give a variety of reasons for engaging with the Bible. Most say they do so to help them know and relate to God (62%), to understand more of the Bible (58%), to encourage them (58%), to understand more of God’s revelation (54%), to show them how to lead a life pleasing to God (53%) and to give them advice for life (51%). Fewer say they engage with Scripture to prepare for a group Bible study (18%) or another reason (2%). Just 3% aren’t sure.
The average Christian churchgoer says 56% of their interactions with the Bible are by themselves and the remaining 44% is in a group or church setting.
“The Bible is God’s revelation of Himself to mankind and most churchgoers embrace that as a reason to engage with the Bible,” said McConnell. “This study points church leaders to the need for continuing to cast a vision for why Bible reading and Bible study matter. It also shows the importance of both helping people understand individual Bible passages and explaining the overall narrative that these episodes fit within.”
Demographic differences
Men and women had statistically similar scores on the Bible knowledge quiz. They each answer roughly half of the questions correctly on average (52% men, 51% women). There are also no statistical differences by ethnicity.
By age, 30- to 49-year-olds score higher on average than those 50-64 (54% v. 48%). Christian churchgoers 30-49 (16%) and 18-29 (11%) are most likely to score an A, while those 50-64 are most likely to fail (71%).
Christian churchgoers without evangelical beliefs are more likely than those who accept such doctrines to fail the quiz (73% v. 58%). The average churchgoer with evangelical beliefs answers 55% correctly, while those without such beliefs average 47% correct.
On average, those attending evangelical congregations answer 53% correctly, Black Protestants 51%, Catholics 49% and mainline Protestants answer 48% correctly.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, those who attend church the most and read the Bible the most score the highest on a Bible literacy quiz.
Those who attend four times a month or more have the highest average score (55%) compared with those attending three times a month (48%), twice a month (46%) and once a month (44%).
Christian churchgoers who read their Bible every day (66%) score higher on average than those who say they rarely or never read Scripture (36%). Daily Bible readers are the most likely to score an A (19%) or a B (17%) and among the most likely to earn a C (14%). Those who read their Bible once a month (84%) and those who rarely or never read it (91%) are the most likely to fail the quiz.
Score predictors
Several factors influence how much higher or lower a Christian churchgoer will score on the Bible quiz. Those likely to increase a score the most are reading the Bible every day (+13.8 points) and having a graduate degree (+10.7). Other positive factors include reading the Bible a few times a week (+7.7), saying they engage with the Bible to help them know and relate to God (+5.4) and reading devotional material (+4.8).
Other factors are likely to lead to a decreased score, including rarely or never reading the Bible (-6.2 points) and having a high school diploma or less formal education (-4.5).
“Bible literacy comes with both reading and studying the Bible — digging to understand each passage but also moving throughout the Bible regularly to aid in remembering it,” said McConnell. “Knowing the Bible involves the heart, mind and emotions. Bible literacy is impacted by a motivation to be in relationship with God, a desire to be encouraged by the Word and thoughtful exploration of its meaning.”
