Mike Bickle emphasizes the significance of understanding military invasions in God's end-time plan, particularly through the lens of the Babylonian invasion as a foreshadowing of future events. He explains that the terrifying imagery of the Babylonian army serves as a model for the ultimate invasion led by the Antichrist, highlighting the need for spiritual preparedness and a call to repentance among God's people. Bickle stresses the importance of prophetic preaching that creates urgency and awareness of the coming judgment, urging believers to respond with prayer and fasting. He underscores that God is sovereign over all events, using even evil forces to fulfill His divine purposes, and calls for a clear and courageous proclamation of the truth to awaken the church and the nations.

A.W. Tozer emphasizes the urgent need for a new type of preacher in Christianity, one who embodies the qualities of the old prophet rather than the conventional roles of the ruler, priest, or smooth-talking pastor. This new preacher must have a profound vision of God and be willing to stand against societal norms, even at the cost of facing opposition from within the Church. Tozer argues that such leaders will be passionate, blunt, and fearless, driven by a deep love for Christ and a commitment to the salvation of souls. He calls for a restoration of the gifts of the Spirit, particularly the gift of prophecy, to rejuvenate the Church and guide it through its challenges.
