Better to lose everything temporary and gain everything eternal than to keep everything temporary and lose my soul forever.

The Bible has become my constant companion.

It sits on my small table, pages worn from constant reading, passages underlined and marked.

Some verses I have memorized.

They have become so precious to me.

2 Corinthians 5:1 17.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.

The old has passed away.

Behold, the new has come.

That verse describes my life perfectly.

I am not who I used to be.

Shik Karim, the Muslim scholar, is dead.

Karim, beloved of Christ, is alive.

I have also learned that God’s timing is perfect even when we do not understand it.

Why did he wait until I was 39 to reveal the truth to me?

Why not earlier when I could have had more years to serve him?

I do not know, but I trust that he knew what he was doing.

Perhaps I needed to be a Muslim scholar first to understand Islam from the inside so that my testimony would carry weight.

Perhaps he knew that only a dramatic encounter would break through my certainty and pride.

Perhaps there were people I needed to meet and lessons I needed to learn before I was ready for the mission he had for me.

What I do know is this.

God is sovereign.

He works all things together for good for those who love him and are called according to his purpose.

Even the suffering, even the loss, even the years I spent in ignorance, all of it is being used for his glory and for the salvation of souls.

Now, in 2025, as I sit here in my small study in Cairo, I feel the urgency more than ever.

The world is getting darker.

Evil is becoming more open, more bold.

But at the same time, God is moving powerfully.

Muslims all over the world are having dreams and visions of Jesus.

People are coming to faith in unprecedented numbers, often at great cost.

We are living in a time of harvest, a time when God is calling people out of darkness into his marvelous light.

My role in this great work is small.

I am just one man with one testimony, but I am faithful to what God has called me to do.

I tell my story to whoever will listen.

I disciple new believers.

I pray without ceasing.

I study the word.

I worship with my church family.

I serve refugees and outcasts.

I do what I can with what I have been given, trusting that God will multiply my small efforts for his kingdom purposes, and I wait with expectation.

Jesus said he is coming back soon.

When he spoke those words to me 10 years ago, I felt the weight of them, the urgency.

Time is short.

The opportunity to share the gospel will not last forever.

One day, perhaps soon, Jesus will return.

The door will close.

Salvation will no longer be available.

Those who have rejected him will face the judgment I saw in hell.

Those who have accepted him will enter the glory I glimpsed in heaven.

I do not know when that day will come.

Jesus said, “No one knows the day or hour, but I feel in my spirit that it is closer than many people think.

The signs are there for those who are watching.

The birth pangs are increasing.

The time of grace is drawing to an end.

And that reality drives me forward, compels me to keep speaking, keep witnessing, keep calling people to repentance and faith while there is still time.

So here I am 10 years later.

A man who has lost everything and gained everything.

A man who died and lived again.

a man who met Jesus face to face and can never be the same.

My life is not easy.

It is not comfortable.

It is not what anyone would choose if they were thinking only of earthly happiness and security.

But it is exactly where I am supposed to be, doing exactly what I am supposed to do.

And I would not trade it for anything.

Not for all the wealth in the world.

Not for restoration of my reputation, not even for my family back as much as I love them and long for them.

Because I have Jesus and he is enough, more than enough.

He is everything.

This is my testimony.

This is my life.

This is the truth I was sent back to tell.

And now looking directly at you through this camera, I want to speak to your heart.

My dear Muslim brothers and sisters, I do not tell you this story to attack you or your faith.

I tell you because I love you.

I was you.

I believed what you believe.

I prayed as you pray.

I fasted as you fast.

I was sincere, devout, committed.

But sincerity is not enough if we are sincerely wrong.

The road to hell is paved with religious devotion that is directed toward the wrong object.

Jesus is not who we were taught he is.

He is not merely a prophet, one among many.

He is the son of God, God in flesh, the word made manifest.

He did die on the cross.

I saw the wounds in his hands and feet.

He did rise from the dead.

And he is the only way to the father.

Not one of many ways.

Not a way.

The way the only way.

This is not my opinion.

This is what he himself declared and what I witnessed to be absolutely true.

I saw hell.

It is real.

It is terrible beyond description.

And it is full of religious people who thought they were doing the right things, following the right path, earning their way to paradise.

But without Christ, without his sacrifice, without his blood covering our sins, there is no other way.

Good works cannot save us.

Religious rituals cannot save us.

Sincerity cannot save us.

Only Jesus saves.

I also saw heaven.

It is more beautiful, more wonderful than anything we could imagine.

It is where God wants you to be.

He loves you so much that he sent his son to die for you, to pay the price for your sins, to open the way for you to come home.

You do not have to earn it.

You cannot earn it.

You can only receive it as a gift by faith, by accepting what Christ has done for you.

Please, I beg you, seek Jesus.

Not religion, not tradition, not what your family taught you or what you have always believed.

Seek Jesus himself.

Ask him to reveal himself to you.

He did it for me.

He is doing it for Muslims all over the world.

He will do it for you if you truly seek him with an open heart.

Read the Bible.

Start with the Gospel of John.

Let God speak to you through his word.

Do not read it to criticize or find fault.

Read it to hear God’s voice, to learn about his love, to understand his plan of salvation.

The truth will set you free.

But first, you must be willing to encounter it, even if it contradicts everything you have been taught.

And to my Christian brothers and sisters watching this, I say, do not take your salvation for granted.

Do not be lukewarm.

Do not waste your time on earth pursuing comfort and entertainment while people around you are heading toward hell.

You have been given the truth.

You have been given the gospel.

You have been given the privilege and responsibility of sharing it with others.

Love Muslims.

Pray for them.

Reach out to them with gentleness and respect.

Share the gospel not with arrogance or superiority, but with humility and compassion.

Remember that you are saved by grace, not by anything you have done.

And that same grace is available to everyone who will receive it.

Be faithful.

Be bold.

Be willing to suffer for the sake of the gospel.

The world needs witnesses who will speak the truth regardless of the cost.

I am not special.

I am not a hero.

I am simply a man who is shown the truth and cannot stay silent.

You can be the same.

You can be a light in your community, your workplace, your family.

God will give you the strength and courage if you are willing to obey.

Time is short.

Jesus is coming back soon.

I do not say this as a cliche or a religious platitude.

I say it as someone who has stood in his presence, who has heard his voice, who knows with absolute certainty that he is real and his return is imminent.

What will you do with the time you have left?

How will you invest your life?

What will matter when you stand before him and give an account?

I lost my family.

I lost my career.

I lost my community.

I lost my reputation.

I lost everything the world says matters.

But I gained Christ and he is worth it all a thousand times over.

He is worth it.

I would make the same choice again without hesitation because there is nothing nothing more valuable than knowing Jesus, following Jesus, belonging to Jesus.

Heaven is real.

Hell is real.

Jesus is real and he is the only way.

This is not my opinion.

This is not my interpretation.

This is the truth I was shown.

The truth I died to discover.

The truth I was sent back to proclaim.

You can accept it or reject it.

But you cannot say you were not warned.

You cannot say you did not have the opportunity to hear.

I am Shik Karim Elmansour.

I died on March 13th, 2015 and Jesus Christ brought me back.

This is my testimony.

This is the truth.

This is the message I was sent to deliver.

May God bless you and reveal himself to you.

May he open your eyes to see, your ears to hear, your heart to receive.

May he save you before it is too late.

Seek Jesus.

Find him.

Follow him.

Whatever it costs, he is worth it.

I promise you.

From the depths of my soul, from the certainty of my experience, he is worth everything.

This is my story.

This is my life.

This is the truth that set me free.

And I pray with everything in me that it will set you free, too.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we come before you on bended knee with hearts that tremble, with souls that yearn for the light of your truth.

We invoke the intercession of the blessed virgin Mary, our lady of Fatima, queen of heaven and earth, who appeared on that hillside in Portugal more than 100 years ago and who spoke words, words that the world is only now beginning to understand.

Holy Spirit, breathe upon us.

Open our ears, open our hearts, and if there is any fear in this room tonight, cast it out.

For perfect love, the love of the father casts out all fear.

Let us pray.

Let us listen and let us not be afraid of the truth.

Amen.

I need you to stop right now.

Whatever you are doing, stop.

Because what I am about to tell you, what heaven itself spoke into history over a hundred years ago on a hillside in Fatima, Portugal, is unfolding before our very eyes.

Tonight, this week, on the news screens of every nation, on the face of this earth, a war has begun.

A war in the ancient lands of Persia and the Holy Land, Iran, Israel, the United States.

The missiles are flying.

The fire is real.

And I am standing before you tonight not as a man of politics, not as a commentator on military affairs, but uh as a servant of the gospel, as a shepherd who has read the signs of the times, as a man who has spent his life in the documents of Fatima and who tells you with every fiber of his being, our lady warned us about this moment.

She w and most of the world was not listening but you are here you are watching and that that is not an accident.

Stay with me because before this message is finished you will understand something that the mainstream world does not want you to understand.

Something that the corridors of power have tried to bury.

Something that heaven itself placed in the hands of three shepherd children.

Francisco, Jasinta, and Lucia on that sacred hillside in the Kova Dai area.

And I promise you, by the time we reach the end of this message together, you will never look at the news the same way again, stay with me.

This matters more than anything else you will hear today.

Let us go back.

Let us go all the way back to May 1319.

constituent.

The world was already on fire.

The first world war was consuming the flower of European youth.

Millions were dying in the trenches of France and Belgium.

And in the small village of Aljestro near Fatima in Portugal, three children, three simple, uneducated, barefoot shepherd children went out to tend their flock in the field called the Kova Da area.

And there, in the blinding light of noon, a woman clothed in white, more brilliant than the sun itself, appeared above, a small home oak tree.

And she said, she said to those trembling, I was struck children, she said, I am from heaven.

I have come to ask you to come here on the 13th of each month for 6 months, and then I will tell you who I am and what I want.

She came back six times.

She came back and each time she revealed more.

She revealed her identity.

She revealed her requests.

She revealed the state of the human soul.

And she revealed three great secrets.

Three secrets.

The first secret, a vision of hell so terrifying, so viscerally horrifying that little Justinta, who was only 7 years old, said she could never forget it.

Our Lady showed these children’s souls falling into hell like snowflakes.

Like snowflakes, my friends, falling endlessly, endlessly, unceasingly into the eternal fires.

And she told them that she had shown them this vision because she did not want souls to go there.

She wanted prayer.

She wanted sacrifice.

She wanted the rosary.

Now, are you still with me?

Because I need you to understand what the second secret said and this is where we begin to feel the temperature rise.

This is where the world should have paid attention.

The second secret our lady said and I am giving you the substance of what the church has revealed.

She said that the war then raging the first world war would end.

But she also said that if men did not cease offending God, a worse war would break out under the pontificate of pious.

She requested the consecration of Russia to her immaculate heart.

And she warned she warned that if her requests were not heeded, Russia would spread her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and the persecution of the church, the good would be martyed.

The Holy Father would have much to suffer.

Various nations would be annihilated.

Various nations would be annihilated.

Think about that.

A woman clothed with a son in 1917 speaking to illiterate children in a Portuguese village says various nations would be annihilated.

Does that sound like the language of fiction to you?

Because it does not sound like fiction to me.

It sounds like a warning from heaven.

Sounds like a mother crying out to her children before the storm.

But then then there is the third secret.

Oh, the third secret.

And I want you to hold that thought for just a moment.

I want you to feel the weight of what is coming.

Because the third secret is the reason we are here tonight.

The third secret is the reason that popes lock documents away in vaults.

The third secret is the reason that Sister Lucia, the surviving visionary, was not permitted to speak freely for decades.

And the third secret, the third secret may be the reason why when you look at the headlines tonight, something deep inside your soul whispers, “This is not ordinary.

This is not politics as usual.

This is something else.

Stay with me.

We are going to walk through this together.

Every word matters.

Now the Catholic Church in the year 2000 under the leadership of Pope John Paul 2 released what was declared to be the text of the third secret and Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger who would later become Pope Benedict 16 provided a theological commentary on it.

What did the third secret show?

It showed in the words of Sister Lucia herself, a bishop dressed in white who falls to the ground as if dead struck down amid a great city in ruins.

There are other bishops, priests, religious men and women climbing a steep mountain toward a large cross of ruff timber.

And at the foot of that cross, they are killed one by one by soldiers with guns and arrows.

And beneath the two angels of the vision, letters of blood fall upon the earth, a bishop dressed in white, a city half in ruins, the martyrdom of the faithful.

Now, the Vatican’s official interpretation tied this vision to the attempted assassination of Pope John Paul 2 on May 13, 1981.

And that date, that date was the anniversary of the first apparition, May 30.

And Pope John Paul to himself holding the bullet that had been removed from his body said a maternal hand guided the bullet.

He attributed his survival to our lady of Fatima.

He went to Fatima.

He placed that bullet in the crown of her statue and he consecrated the world to her immaculate heart and there was great joy, great relief.

The church said, “The secret has been fulfilled.

The secret is over.

We can breathe.

But and here my friends, I ask you to lean in very close.

But many serious faithful learned Catholics, many who have devoted their lives to the study of Fatima.

Wait, has everything been revealed?

Has all been fulfilled?

Are we truly seeing the full picture?

And I say to you tonight with great humility, with great reverence for Holy Mother Church, with absolute fidelity to the magisterium, I say to you, the story of Fatima is not finished.

The mercy of God is not finished.

And the warnings from heaven are not finished.

Because now look at what is happening.

Look at the world tonight.

Iran and Israel are at war.

The United States of America has entered the conflict.

Missiles have struck Iranian nuclear facilities.

Thrron has retaliated.

The ancient Persian Empire, the ancient land through which the people of God once walked as captives.

That land is once again afflict.

and Israel.

Israel, the land that the Lord promised to Abraham in the book of Genesis chapter 15 verse when he said to your descendants I give this land from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates.

That land is under existential threat.

And you sit there and you say, “Cardinal Burke, what does this have to do with Fatima?

” And I say to you, everything.

It has everything to do with Fatima because our lady did not come to Fatima to give us a nice devotion.

She did not come to give us beautiful prayers for our personal spiritual comfort alone.

She came with urgency.

She came with tears.

She came as a mother watching her children walk toward a cliff in the darkness, reaching out her hands, crying out, “Stop.

Pray.

Repent.

Convert.

or the consequences will be catastrophic.

And the Bible, the Bible itself tells us in the book of Daniel 8, that visions of the end of days involve the region of Persia.

That the angel Gabriel explained to Daniel that the ram with two horns represented the kings of Media and Persia.

And Daniel saw a great conflict arising from that region.

And he fell on his face in terror.

He fell on his face.

When was the last time you fell on your face before God?

When was the last time the reality of eternity gripped you so powerful that your knees buckled and your heart cried out for mercy?

Cuz that, my friends, is where we need to be right now.

Not in panic, not in despair, but on our knees, in prayer.

Because prayer is not weakness.

Prayer is the most powerful weapon in the entire arsenal of human history.
