The Miracle of Endtime: 40 Years of God’s Hand at Work

In 2026, Endtime Ministries is marking 40 years of ministry, and one truth stands above every milestone, every open door and every expansion: God did it.

This ministry was never built on human strategy alone. It was not the result of perfect planning, abundant resources or exceptional ability. It has been the story of a God who speaks, confirms, provides and opens doors at precisely the right moment.

From the earliest days of Irvin Baxter’s calling to the global outreach of Endtime today, the testimony has remained the same: when God says it is time, nothing can stop His purpose.

It Started Because It Was Time

Many have asked why God revealed so many prophetic understandings to Irvin Baxter when He did. The answer is not that Irvin was more intelligent than others or somehow uniquely qualified in himself. The answer is far simpler and far more sobering:

It was time.

The Bible tells us in Daniel that some things would be sealed until the time of the end. What had long remained hidden would be made clear for the generation living in the final hours before the return of Jesus Christ. Endtime Ministries believes it was for this reason that God began to unfold prophecy to Irvin Baxter in such a powerful and unmistakable way.

That calling would become the foundation for a ministry that has now reached around the world.

From a Book to a Global Platform

The ministry’s public journey began with the book A Message for the President, which helped put Endtime on the map. Then came the magazine in 1991, the prophecy chart in 1995, and video teaching resources that carried the message farther.

But God was not finished.

In 1997, Irvin felt the Lord dealing with him about launching a radio program. He understood the weight of that decision. Committing to a daily broadcast meant embracing a lifelong responsibility. He counted the cost carefully.

Then God opened the door in a way only He could.

While in Houston for a conference, Irvin appeared on a local Daystar station and taught from his chart on the modern nations in Bible prophecy. That day, station owner Eldred Thomas happened to be present. Moved by what he heard, Thomas told Irvin he believed the message was true and offered him a major opportunity: when Irvin was ready, he could have drive-time airtime on KVTT, one of the largest FM stations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, at no cost.

Before that opportunity came to fruition, Thomas died. But even then, the door did not close. His son Stanley honored his father’s word.

On April 21, 1998, Endtime aired its first radio broadcast.

The team had little experience and no certainty about what to expect. Yet response came quickly. Dallas became the flagship market, and the ministry stepped into a new season of influence.

Later that same year, a prophecy conference in the Dallas area confirmed just how far the broadcast had already reached. What was expected to be a manageable gathering turned into an overwhelming turnout. Hundreds packed the auditorium, overflowed into surrounding areas and filled stairways until the fire marshal shut the event down. Hundreds of cars were reportedly turned away.

It was clear something bigger was happening.

The Move to Dallas

As the ministry grew, another major transition came into view.

In 2003, Brother D.G. Hargrove approached Irvin with a message he felt the Lord had given him: move Endtime Ministries from Richmond, Indiana, to Dallas, Texas, and partner together to reach the world.

Irvin’s response was measured. If God had spoken, he believed the Lord would confirm it personally.

Over the next year and a half, he prayed, fasted and sought direction. Then came the confirmation: “Don’t be afraid to step out of the boat.”

That was the word he needed.

On November 11, 2005, seven families relocated to Dallas. The ministry began again in a modest annex space before eventually moving into its current facility in 2007. In 2014, after years of leasing, Endtime purchased the building.

Again, God had made a way.

The Door to Television

The move to Dallas was not just about geography. It was about expansion.

After investing heavily in studio development, the ministry felt called to take the message to television. But there was one problem: there was no money left for airtime.

Then partners stepped in and offered to cover the first year of broadcasts on Daystar and TBN.

Daystar was a natural fit because of existing relationships. TBN was another matter. Repeated attempts to make contact went nowhere. Calls were ignored. No door opened.

So the Endtime leadership team gathered in the office and prayed a simple, direct prayer: God, open the door to TBN.

Within days, that exact prayer was answered.

Irvin appeared on a program with Marcus and Joni Lamb. Paul Crouch saw the interview, took notice and requested Irvin as a guest. The meeting was immediate and decisive. Crouch asked whether Irvin had a television program. When Irvin said yes, Crouch responded: “I want you on my network.”

Endtime was first placed on Church Channel. The expectation was that the ministry would remain there for at least two years before being considered for TBN. Instead, after only six months, the call came: they wanted Endtime on TBN.

Airtime that once seemed impossible became a reality. What appeared closed was opened by prayer and divine timing.

A Calling to Jerusalem

As Endtime’s media reach expanded, God began directing the ministry toward another burden: a physical presence in Jerusalem.

In 2011, Irvin began raising funds for what would become the Jerusalem Prophecy College. At first, the effort was slow. After two years, about $236,000 had been raised, far short of what was needed to secure property in Jerusalem.

Then came a turning point.

During a 2013 trip to Jerusalem, the cost became painfully clear. A suitable property on Jaffa Street carried an enormous price tag, and the ministry did not have the resources to proceed.

Back in Dallas, Irvin prayed plainly: if God truly wanted this, He would have to supply the need.

Then came the strategy.

A new lesson, Another Jewish Holocaust Just Ahead, was created as part of a fundraising effort. Supporters were invited to partner at a specific level and receive teaching resources. The program launched over Labor Day weekend in 2013.

By September 19, the ministry had raised $1.5 million.

The property was secured, renovated and opened for the first class in May 2014.

What began as a vision for a physical college in Jerusalem quickly expanded beyond the walls of one building. Interest from students around the world led to the development of the Jerusalem Prophecy College online. Thousands have since enrolled or participated, equipping believers to understand prophecy and instruct others in the closing days of this age.

Preparing the Endtime 1,000

The Jerusalem Prophecy College was never intended to be merely academic. It was part of a larger prophetic assignment.

For years, Irvin taught that Jesus’ warning in Matthew 24 about those in Judea fleeing would one day require real people, real preparation and real action. The Endtime 1,000 emerged from that conviction: a call to prepare believers who understand prophecy and can help warn others when the time comes.

The mission is rooted in Scripture and urgency. Prophecy is not given as filler. It is given to be understood, believed and acted upon.

At Endtime Ministries, that conviction remains central.

Responding to Censorship With Expansion

As Endtime’s message reached more people, new challenges arose.

By 2018, digital suppression, shifting algorithms and growing resistance on major online platforms had begun limiting the ministry’s reach. The message of Bible prophecy, world government, world religion and the soon coming return of Jesus Christ increasingly ran against the grain of dominant narratives online.

Rather than retreat, Endtime built.

What began as a response to censorship became the foundation for its own independent media platform. After years of effort and key leadership from within the ministry team, that vision became reality. The platform launched in the early part of 2020 as Endtime Plus and was later rebranded as Only Source Network.

Today, it stands as a growing reservoir of uncensored teaching and media, giving Endtime a way to continue proclaiming truth regardless of outside pressure.

The Work Continues After Irvin Baxter

When Irvin Baxter passed away in 2020, many wondered what would happen next.

But God had not brought the ministry this far to abandon its purpose. In the years since, Endtime has continued to grow, expand and adapt while remaining rooted in the same calling that launched it.

That calling includes one of the most sobering assignments Irvin ever spoke about: warning the Jews in Judea to flee at the moment prophesied by Jesus.

Following the events of October 7, 2023, the urgency surrounding Israel intensified. The region changed dramatically. Conditions became more volatile, more dangerous and more prophetically significant.

Yet even there, Endtime believes God has continued to prepare the way.

The ministry points to a developing network of relationships, personnel and opportunities in Israel as further evidence that the Lord is positioning Endtime for the fulfillment of its prophetic mission. What once seemed impossible now appears increasingly plausible. Once again, what matters most is not human strength, but divine orchestration.

Miracle After Miracle

Looking back over four decades, the pattern is impossible to miss.

A book opened the door.
A radio station was given.
A city responded.
A move was confirmed.
A television ministry launched.
A building in Jerusalem was purchased.
A college was established.
A network was built.
A mission continued.

At every stage, the story has been the same: God opened the door.

Endtime Ministries is celebrating 40 years in 2026 not as a monument to human achievement, but as a testimony to God’s faithfulness. The miracles are not isolated moments from the past. They are part of an ongoing work.

And the reason for it all is as urgent now as ever.

Because the end time is not a distant theory.
It is not an abstract concept.
It is now.

That is why this message matters. That is why this ministry exists. And that is why, after 40 years, Endtime Ministries is still proclaiming the same truth with clarity and conviction:

It was time then. And it is time now.
