The Epstein files have generated headlines, speculation, and intense public interest. But beyond the controversy lies a larger question: What does this story reveal about power, influence, and the hidden dynamics shaping our world?

In this episode of What’s the World Coming To?, Pastor Ken Ortize takes a step back from the political noise to examine the broader implications. Why do elite networks seem to operate beyond accountability? What patterns do we see emerging in global culture? And how might these developments connect to the biblical warnings about deception, corruption, and the last days?

This conversation isn’t about sensationalism or conspiracy. It’s about discernment. Scripture reminds us to stay watchful, to understand the times, and to keep our focus on Christ as the world grows increasingly complex and uncertain.

As always, the goal is not fear — but clarity, faith, and readiness for what lies ahead.
