Observations On the End of the World

 This a great article that points out some very real truths.  The Bible tells us that “this world is not our home.”  It reminds us that this life is just a mist.  Revelation clearly tells us that a new heaven and a new earth are coming.  Isaiah tells us that “the former things will not be remembered.”  Paul tells us that “only the unseen things are real.”  So how many churches are talking about the significance of Israel being at the center of the news every day?  How many are preparing their congregations for the end of the world?

As long as what you are afraid of is something evil, you may still hope that the good may come to your rescue. But suppose you struggle through to the good and find that it also is dreadful? How, if food itself turns out to be the very thing you can’t eat, and home the very place you can’t live, and your very comforter the person who makes you uncomfortable? Then, indeed, there is no rescue possible: the last card has been played. -C. S. LEWIS, Perelandra

The end of the world is at hand—and the world couldn’t care less.

Watching a bevy of local churches online this Sunday to see how many were talking about the prophetic significance of the war now ongoing between Israel and Iran, it was a sobering reminder of just how asleep so much of the Western church is. Nary a mention did Israel v. Iran get from the pulpits, but a whole laundry list of well-intentioned but tone-deaf sermons on how to be a better you. Is this accidental, or is this intentional? How could so much of the Western leg of Christendom not be keyed into what is happening with the birthplace of our faith?

Well, the spiritual suppression, as it were, is no surprise. The world we live in now—in its present form, is a world governed by unseen spiritual forces that manipulate it from the shadows, and has masterfully deceived the masses into believing that life will simply continue as is, indefinitely. This illusion is sustained by the deeply irrational grip of normalcy bias, reinforced by the triple engines of distraction, hedonism, and gradualism—all cloaked in materialism. Together, they keep man’s eyes fixed firmly on the now, blinding him to the judgment that looms just ahead.

To be fair, Satan’s use of distraction has proven astonishingly effective. It’s truly remarkable—and deeply troubling—that millions of highly educated individuals genuinely believe, and even teach, that this impossibly complex universe is somehow a product of random, meaningless chance. This, despite what we know from the Laws of Thermodynamics and other observable principles of the created order. Such belief is not merely ignorance—it is high-order deception. And these are the people leading the most powerful institutions on Earth!

The Fragility of Time and the Silence of Saints

“…whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away” (James 4:14).

Given that mortal lifespans rarely exceed 70 to 80 years—with perhaps 40 of those spent in peak effectiveness, it’s hard not to turn our attentions increasingly inward. When viewed against the vast arc of human history, and especially in light of eternity, our lives are, as Scripture so eloquently states, but a vapor. In fact, our lives are no more concrete than is a fleeting breeze, a petal on the wind, or a blink of an eye. It often feels like our lives are barely enough to begin the work we believe we were supposed to do—much less fulfill the greater, more divine purposes our Creator may have had in store for our lives.

I’ve known many good and honorable people—quietly faithful and deeply principled—who lived moral, upright lives but rarely spoke openly of their faith in God. Whether they were truly born again or merely moral by upbringing was often difficult to discern. These were the hard-working, Depression-forged men and women of the “Greatest Generation,” shaped by the WASP ethos (White Anglo-Saxon Protestantism), an inheritance of Reformation discipline, Enlightenment restraint, and Frontier perseverance. Their lives were marked by duty and stoic service—yet public expressions of faith or morality were often deemed impolite or unnecessary in civic life.

As the postwar boom brought about a population explosion and with it, seismic cultural change, this once-cohesive Judeo-Christian consensus began to fragment into thousands of doctrinal islands. What was once a relational and communal walk with Christ became increasingly specialized and privatized. Evangelism gave way to polished church-growth movements. The church retreated behind stained-glass walls, and the public square—once governed by a biblical conscience—fell tragically silent.

This admirable but cautious stoicism produced unintended consequences. Over time, loyalty to denomination and institution began to outweigh the personal leading of the Holy Spirit. Revival was stifled. Truth-telling went underground. Even so, God raised up voices—like Billy Graham, Reinhard Bonnke, Leonard Ravenhill, Hal Lindsey, Chuck Smith, and Luis Palau—to call the nations back to repentance. But the pulpits of America and the West, by and large, began choosing either cultural neutrality or outright silence in light of an increasingly decaying society. And into that silence, the vacuum appeared.

The Vacuum and the Invasion

“When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation” (Matthew 12:43-45).

History teaches that vacuums never remain empty for long. Into the void rushed a new pantheon of ideologies: materialism cloaked in consumer prosperity; Eastern mysticism rebranded as inner healing and enlightenment; secular humanism dressed up as rationalism and equity; and scientism masquerading as absolute truth. From Berkeley to Harvard, from Hollywood to the halls of Congress, systematic deception quickened its pace through the institutions.

From the 1940s through the 1980s—an era dubbed Pax Americana—the United States reached its zenith in global influence, military power, and technological achievement. And yet, embedded within that rise were the very seeds of its spiritual and moral unraveling. The “strong, silent hero” archetype—John Wayne on screen, Eisenhower in office—shaped a nation’s posture: stoic, reserved, serious, and unspoken. But while every effort was thrown at containing communism abroad, it had begun quietly flourishing at home, because affluence produces weak men who love pleasure rather than righteousness. The spiritual rot was flowing out of the vacuum the churches left unattended.

The very institutions built to preserve law and order, by way of virtue and permanence, began instead to perpetuate policies and agendas that served only to maintain their power and authority in perpetuity. Bureaucracy and nationalism began to supersede spirituality and morality, contributing greatly to the inevitable cultural decay by the normalization and legalization of licentiousness. Our governmental moral underpinnings, once anchored in Scripture, began to give way to multiculturalism. Between our affluence and enlightenment, we became proud. And pride, as they say, always precedes the fall.

By the time we reached the postmodern era, America had become a civilization publicly unsure whether objective truth even exists any longer. Our cultural slide into the debased mind moved quickly from the 1990s to the present day, going so far as to have political and cultural leaders attempting to normalize pedophilia and luciferianism. Even more troubling was the rise of a mainstream cultural zeitgeist that took pride in its inability or outright refusal—to define fundamental biological realities such as gender, marriage, and the sanctity of life. When a nation reaches that point, it is morally, spiritually, economically, and culturally bankrupt, tottering on the edge of civilizational collapse.

And so, as Western civilization reached its technological summit—splitting atoms, sequencing genomes, exploring other planets—it also descended into one of the most morally, spiritually, and ethically bankrupt conditions since the days of Noah and Lot. We know how those days ended. The greater tragedy lies not just in the inevitable faithlessness of this final generation, but in the abdication of moral leadership by the generations before it.

The Rebirth of Israel — A Cosmic Disruption

“Before she was in labor, she gave birth;
Before her pain came,
She delivered a male child.
Who has heard such a thing?
Who has seen such things?
Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day?
Or shall a nation be born at once?
For as soon as Zion was in labor,
She gave birth to her children.
‘Shall I bring to the time of birth, and not cause delivery?’ says the Lord.
‘Shall I who cause delivery shut up the womb?’ says your God” (Isaiah 66:7-9).

And yet, against the Western backdrop of deception and decline, a singular event disrupted the course of history: the rebirth of Israel.

In the aftermath of World War II, as the true scope of the Nazi Final Solution came to light, the world was shaken into a rare moment of moral clarity. The horror of six million exterminated Jews forced open a narrow window of sympathy—just wide enough to permit the legal reestablishment of a Jewish state in 1948. Keep in mind, this miraculous event did not happen in a spiritually neutral world.

Scripture tells us the whole world lies under the control of the evil one (1 John 5:19), and that the kingdoms of this world are under Satan’s temporary authority (Luke 4:5-6). In that light, Israel’s rebirth wasn’t just improbable; it had been relatively impossible until it was inevitable. Satan had managed to blanket the Middle East with a virulently violent, highly anti-Semitic religion called Islam for thirteen centuries.

Why else has he invested so deeply in keeping the Middle East veiled under the grip of militant Islam—a spiritual stronghold that denies Christ, denies the covenant, and opposes Jewish restoration? The fact that the Jewish state reemerged at all—in a world so dominated by dark powers—is proof of God’s sovereign hand. Moreover, Israel’s rebirth has since been a constant affront to the cosmic enemy, Satan, who has every reason to destroy her and prevent her rebirth from fulfilling bible prophecy.

And it’s no coincidence that, in our present moment, support for Israel—especially among self-proclaimed conservative and evangelical factions—has become sharply divided since October 7, 2023. As always, Satan’s tactic remains consistent: confuse, divide, distort. The same confusion he sowed into the church through centuries of Replacement Theology now appears again in various disguises: dead orthodoxy, Amillennialism, Calvinism, Pan-Millennialism, “anti-Zionism,” and a creeping disinterest cloaked as neutrality.

The Hope That Anchors

Personally, I find myself at the twilight of my “active duty” years. Each passing day brings with it the temptation to echo Solomon’s lament that all is vanity under the sun. And were it not for the Blessed Hope—the promise of Christ’s imminent, any moment return for His bride, the Church—I too might have drifted off into cynicism or fatalism. But the calling remains.

The Bride Groom Cometh, Make Ready the Bride!

Thus, the faithful in every generation are not merely to occupy until He comes, but to watch, to understand the signs of the times, and to anticipate. We are commanded to watch as a continual reminder not to fall under the seductive trappings of this world (hedonism and gradualism). Like Peter sinking into the water after taking his eyes off the Lord, when we take our eyes off the Lord and begin looking around, we too shall start sinking into the muck and the mire of this life. “And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever” (1 John 2:17) As one voice so astutely wrote online, and with sobering precision: “Your flesh doesn’t care about your eternity—because it’s not going with you.”

The flesh will always war against the spirit because it isn’t coming with you. At least this version of our flesh. How easy is it for us to turn our eyes or scroll to a new channel and not recognize and acknowledge the reality of what is coming? He’s coming.

 “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man” (Luke 21:34-36).

Is This Proof that Aliens Are Here Now?

When you see a video like this it’s 100% blog-worthy!  We have aliens, we have Israel and we have a message from the “aliens”.  The message goes something like this; “We’ve been waiting for you humans to get to the point where you can understand space and spaceships”.

Yes, we’ve said it for 15 years and we will say it again;  they aren’t aliens who evolved on other planets light years away!  They are demons, fallen angels and strange flesh that know the return of Jesus is close so they are ramping up their major delusion to lead the left-behind world into hell.

Jesus warned that the deception would be so great that it could deceive even the elect, if that were possible, but it’s not possible because Jesus will have removed His bride before the great delusion that God allows.

Muslim Leading Race for NYC Mayor

24 years after Muslims flew planes into NYC and crashed them into the Twin Towers we have a Muslim set up to become mayor.  He’s already announced he would arrest Netanyahu if he came to that city.

****************

 To say Wall Street isn’t a fan of Zohran Mamdani would be an understatement.

In fact, high-profile investors and business leaders in the Big Apple are up in arms about the stunning win by the democratic socialist in the primary to win the Democratic nomination to serve as the next New York City mayor. The three-term Assemblymember’s potential victory in the November general election could bring what the Street hates most — tax hikes and tighter regulation threatening corporate and investment interests.

Philippe Laffont, founder of hedge fund Coatue Management, told CNBC that a Mamdani win could trigger another exodus of wealthy investors. Since the pandemic, a wave of wealthy residents and institutional firms have fled the nation’s largest city for low-tax states such as Florida and Texas.

“Some people are going to, for sure, go,” Laffont said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” Wednesday after former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo conceded the Democratic nomination. “It’s not quite done yet. There’s still an election. Maybe Cuomo will re-enter as an independent.”

Mamdani’s emphasis on socialism and redistribution of wealth runs counter to Wall Street’s preference for unbridled capitalism and policies that support growth, such as deregulation and low taxes. The 33-year-old has supported taxing the ultra-wealthy, financial transactions and passive income like dividends. He has also endorsed a state-level wealth tax and increased marginal income tax rates on high earners.

Hedge fund magnate Bill Ackman said he woke up Wednesday “a bit depressed” by Mamdani’s victory. The Pershing Square chief said he’s now looking at the logistics for another candidate, not himself, to run.

Lawrence Summers, the former Treasury Secretary and president of Harvard University, also expressed his distaste Mamdani’s nomination.

You Will Have to Take a Mark to Buy, Sell or Even Read Anything

 We are the first generation that has the technology to make Revelation come true.  John saw the day when everyone needed some type of mark on their hand or forehead in order to buy or sell anything.  But maybe what John saw was someone pressing their forehead up against eye scanner?  He had no words for "eye scanner" so just wrote down what he saw.  And maybe he saw a vision of someone checking out at the grocery store and waving their palm over a scanner and said, "they had a mark on their hand."

However it actually plays out, the evidence that it will soon play out seems to be in our headline news daily.

The battle for your identity is no longer theoretical--it's happening right now, and most people aren't paying attention.

Reddit, one of the most influential platforms on the internet, is actively exploring the use of World ID, a biometric verification system powered by an orb-shaped device that scans your iris to prove you are a real person. Behind it is Tools for Humanity, co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, whose involvement spans the very technologies creating chaos (AI) and now the systems designed to sort through that chaos (digital ID).

This isn't just a tech upgrade. It's a civilizational shift.

Under the banner of stopping bots and protecting children, a powerful coalition of governments and tech giants is working to embed identity verification into the foundations of the internet. And they're not asking for your name or password anymore. They want your eye. Your face. Your biology.

At first glance, it seems innocent--even helpful. But the implications are deeply disturbing: a world where access to the digital public square, online services, and even commerce itself could soon depend on biometric approval. A world where no biometric ID means no access.

If that sounds familiar, it should. Revelation 13 warned of a time when buying and selling would be impossible without a specific mark. That prophecy, long dismissed by skeptics as hyperbole, is now startlingly plausible.

And it's closer than you think.

A System of Control, Not Convenience

The World ID system works like this: you visit an "Orb," which scans your iris and generates a cryptographic identifier stored on your phone. The system claims to protect privacy--no names, no data trails--but let's be honest: the very act of submitting to a biometric scan is a surrender of something far more personal than a username. It is the surrender of your physical being as proof of participation in society.

The selling point is security and uniqueness. The real consequence is exclusion for anyone who refuses.

Reddit's CEO Steve Huffman has already stated that age verification and AI abuse will soon make user identification unavoidable. "We will do our best to preserve anonymity," he wrote, but his language betrays the truth: this is coming whether people want it or not. Soon, platforms may begin to treat non-verified users as second-class citizens--or block them altogether.

This isn't a crackdown on bots. It's the construction of a new internet caste system--the verified and the vanished.

The Road to Totalitarian Infrastructure

Behind this system is a dangerous centralization of power. Sam Altman already leads OpenAI, a company shaping the very language, images, and thoughts that flood the digital world. Now he may control the gatekeeping mechanism that determines who is allowed into that world.

If you want to speak, you may need his ID.

If you want to shop, you may need his verification.

If you want to exist online at all, you may need to submit to his Orb.

That is not innovation. That is infrastructure. And once embedded, it won't be optional. As more people get verified, the pressure will mount on the rest of society to follow--or face digital exile. Like all authoritarian tools, it begins with voluntary adoption. It ends with mandatory compliance.

History has shown that the most dangerous systems are not those that arrive with sirens and guns--but those cloaked in efficiency, wrapped in safety, and sold as progress.

Here;  Will The AI Explosion Require A 'Proof Of Personhood' Biometric ID?

Read that last sentence again and remember the Bible says, "While they are saying 'peace and safety', destruction will come upon them suddenly."

6 Days of Work Followed by 1 Day of Rest

 Many of us have heard about 2000 years from Adam to Abraham, 2000 years from Abraham to Jesus, 2000 years from Jesus until now and what we have left is the Day of the Lord which is 1000 years of Christ on the throne with the curse lifted.  7000 years total and a day is like 1000 years to the Lord and 1000 years is like a day!  We should not be surprised if Jesus were to return any day now to snatch His bride.  Read on.

*******************

We fairly often see the phrase day of the Lord in the Bible. Google says it appears 18 times in the Old Testament and 5 times in the New Testament.

So, what is the day of the Lord? It refers to a time of God’s judgment on the world. The New Testament refers to the day of the Lord as a day of God’s wrath. When is that time? Is this referring to a single day? How long is God’s day in the Bible?

The day of the Lord tells us a lot more than most people realize. The first thing we have to understand is how God describes a day in the Bible. 2 Peter 3:8 (NIV) says, “But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like a day.” 

Psalm 90:4 (NIV) states, “A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by or like a watch in the night.” 

Why is God telling us this? To start putting the pieces of the puzzle together, we have to go back to Genesis 1:3 (NIV) where God said, “Let there be light,’ and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. God called the light ‘day,’ and the darkness He called ‘night.’ And there was evening, and there was morning – the first day.” He also says this same phrase for the 2nd through the 6th day. This clearly shows that these days are 24-hour days with morning and night. Genesis 2:2 says, “By the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on the seventh day He rested from all His work.” 

God is showing us that He has created six days of “work” and one day of “rest.” Our day is 24 hours, and later God shows us that His day is like 1,000 years. If we substitute His 1,000-year days for our 24-hour days, we see that God’s plan is showing six 1,000-year days of WORK for mankind followed by a seventh 1,000 years of REST.

Because God has “shown us” His 7th day of rest is 1,000 years, this has caused many theologians and the Jewish Talmud to show that God’s plan for mankind is a 7,000-year plan consisting of 6,000 years of work and one thousand years of rest.

With hindsight we can see that God has divided our 6,000 years of work where mankind is ruling the planet into three dispensations of 2,000 years of no law, 2,000 years of law through Israel, and 2,000 years of grace, called the church age, through Jesus.

The Talmud and many theologians say that God’s plan for mankind is a 7,000-year plan. How do we know that? We know God says His day is as 1,000 years compared to our day, but how does that “prove” He has a 7,000-year plan for mankind? Is there anywhere in the Bible that “proves” God’s 7,000-year timeline for humanity?

Yes, there is. It’s called the Day of the Lord. Is there any place in the Bible that actually “shows” God’s day IS 1,000 years? Most definitely there is. It is called the Day of the Lord when Jesus comes back to judge the world and begin His “1,000-year” millennial reign on Earth. This is God’s 7th Day of Rest when mankind’s rule of six days of 1,000 years of Work is over. Revelation 20 refers “6 times” to Jesus’ rule on Earth being 1,000 years.

So, with God showing us His seventh Day of Rest is Jesus’ 1,000-year millennial reign, what is the most important question we can ask concerning when the season of the rapture, tribulation, and Jesus’ Second Coming is? We need to ask WHEN does Jesus’ seventh day begin?

There is a very simple answer to that. It begins following the END of the 6,000 years of mankind ruling the planet. The next important question is, how can we know when the 6th day of 1,000 years ends?

God helps us to figure that out by giving us three dispensations of 2,000 years each, with the church age being the LAST 2,000 years. So, all we need to know is about when the 2,000 years of the church age ends. To answer that, we need to know when it began.

The church age began at Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came to indwell all born-again believers. When was that? It was 50 days following Jesus’ resurrection. To know that year, we need to know the year Jesus was crucified and resurrected, followed by the coming of the Holy Spirit. Unfortunately, there is debate about the exact year of Jesus’ resurrection. The good news is there is enough information to nail it down fairly close . We know that according to Josephus, Pontius Pilate ruled from 26 to 36 CE. This certainly makes it prior to 36 CE.

What other methods might we use to possibly narrow it down? The first thing we need to look at is that Jesus was crucified on a Passover, which occurred on a Friday. What Passovers from 30 CE to 36 CE did occur on a Friday? The internet shows Passover occurred on a Friday on April 7, 30 CE and April 3, 33 CE.

We also know there is a 7-year tribulation period at the end of the 6,000 years that ends when Jesus comes back to save Israel from the antichrist and to set up His millennial reign. The strongest evidence shows the rapture occurs before the beginning of the 7-year tribulation, which is also the final week of Daniel’s 70 weeks prophecy (70 weeks of “years”) when Israel will finally receive their Messiah and all of God’s promises to them. Jesus was crucified at the end of Daniel’s 69th week of 483 years, leaving a gap of almost 2,000 years to complete Daniel’s 70th week.

When we compare 30 CE to 33 CE, we can see that 30 CE does not qualify because it would be saying the 7-year tribulation could possibly begin in 2,000 years in the year 2030, minus seven years for the tribulation to begin in 2023, and that did not happen. We now need to look at 33 CE plus 2,000 years is 2033 minus seven years for the possible beginning of the tribulation in 2026.

This certainly does not mean it has to occur in 2026 or before. The good news is God “wants” us to be ready by studying His word in the Bible in order to know the “signs of the times.” In Matthew 16:3, Jesus says to the Pharisees and Sadducees, “You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times [His first coming].”

Daniel’s 70 weeks of years prophecy shows that Israel’s Anointed One would be put to death after 69 of those weeks of years, or 483 years, which shows pretty close to the exact year Jesus would be here for His First Coming and be crucified. Jesus is upset with the religious leaders because they had God’s prophetic word to show them the signs of the times, and they ignored it. God showing us this in His word helps us to understand, since He gave us prophecy to figure out the signs of the times for His First Coming, then it makes sense that He has probably given us prophecy to figure out the signs of the times for His Second Coming.

Jesus wanting us to always be watching for His return is referring to His bride, the church, at the rapture vs His Second Coming for one simple reason – the doctrine of imminency, which says Jesus could come at any moment. If we are looking for His Second Coming, we would be watching for the antichrist and the tribulation to come “first” and then start looking for Jesus’ coming for His bride. That would do away with God’s doctrine of imminency.

Let’s not forget that Daniel 12:4 says, “But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scripture until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.” This verse is unfolding right before our eyes and causes many rapture watchers to study God’s word like never before so that, unlike the Pharisees and Sadducees in Jesus’ day, we will, indeed, recognize God’s signs of the times, which pleases Jesus.

The bottom line is God does not allow us to know the day and hour of Jesus’ return for His bride, the church. However, here are a couple of Bible verses that point out we are to always watch and be ready for Jesus’ return.

Matthew 24:42 says, “Therefore, keep watch, because you do not know what day your Lord will come.” Luke 21:36 says, “Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen [tribulation] and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man [rapture]” In the parable of the 10 virgins, God’s watchers will always have oil in our lamps just like the five wise virgins did.

All of the signs Jesus gives His disciples in Matthew 24 as to when His coming and the end of the age will be are at the severest frequency and intensity levels ever recorded. The most important sign is Israel, and right now, they are at war with Iran. God’s word in the Bible showed us thousands of years ago what signs will occur and how to recognize them, and we are seeing the “birth pains” in Matthew 24 occurring today like never before in REAL TIME!

Democratic Approval Collapses in New Poll

 It turns out that the Democrats spent too much time on hating Trump and trying 50 ways to make it impossible for him to run RATHER than focus on their own pathetic circus of purple-haired they/thems who don't know what a woman is.  It also turns out that most Americans don't want big men playing in girl's sports.

According to the latest poll, the approval of Democrats is collapsing and I don't think they have many ideas right now about how to clean out the circus tent and enter the main stream.

Quinnipiac University polling published this month revealed a 21% approval rating for Democrats in Congress, which is the lowest point since 2009. Similarly, a CNN/SSRS poll found the party’s favorability at 29%, a record low since 1992. Democrats fear these numbers may signal a troubled future.

Amid Democrats' low approval, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) faces significant challenges under the leadership of Chair Ken Martin. Internal conflicts with the DNC have been fueled by Vice Chair David Hogg’s push to challenge sitting Democrats in primaries as well as a reported drop in donor funding. Lower cash reserves reported in 2025 threaten the party’s unity and electoral strength.

Here;  Democratic Approval Collapses in New Poll

America runs on a 2 party system so we hope the Democrats can restore some sanity at some point, but honestly, they have welcomed so many nut-jobs under their tent that they now find it hard to call anything absurd or ridiculous.  "Lesbians for Hezbollah!"--welcome to the DNC!  "Gays for Gaza!"--welcome to the DNC!  "Minor Attracted Persons for Persia!"--welcome to the DNC!  "Transgenders against global warming!"--welcome!  All are welcome here!

US Military Releases Video of UFO

 The world continues to be prepared for massive deception and ultimately mass delusion.  The conditions are ripe right now.  For 75 years we had the US Government denying every evidence or eyewitness of UFOs and aliens.  And suddenly they release files, ceased denying evidence and now are even releasing evidence?  What’s happening?

They aren’t evolved beings from other planets driving their spaceships millions of light years to visit…no, they are demons in disguise and Satan is getting ready to drop his most massive deception which most of the left-behind world will gobble up, hook, line and sinker.

***************

Remember when the US government essentially admitted to the existence of aliens and almost no one noticed?  Launched in 2023, congressional hearings on government encounters with potential otherworldly phenomenon brought a series of witness testimonies into public focus that confirmed long time "conspiracy theories" that humans are not alone in the universe.  Intel and military officials presented information under oath that the government had indeed encountered what they call "UAPs" (UFOs) and others claimed that non-human biological entities had been discovered along with recovered aircraft.

But, the world was still reeling from pandemic hysteria, the US was on the brink of a possible civil war between conservatives and crazed leftists, the Ukraine war was fomenting a potential world war between NATO and Russia, and America was being led by a puppet president with a brain made of broccoli.  Everyone was rather distracted.

The sudden admission of the existence of interplanetary intelligence made most people rightfully suspicious.  Why was the government, which withheld evidence from the public for decades, so interested in releasing that information now?  Was the talk of UAPs and aliens really just a distraction from Joe Biden's deteriorating mental acuity?  What is the world supposed to do with this revelation?  Most people have bills to pay; will the aliens help pay our bills?

In a political and social vacuum the concept of life from other planets with the ability to travel vast interstellar distances to Earth is mind boggling.  However, the timing is odd and the government has yet to produce any tangible pieces of evidence of recovered craft or little green men.  What we have seen is video evidence, once kept under wraps, of military encounters with strange objects doing things that no human technology is supposed to be capable of.

The Department of Defense has revealed new video footage of another aircraft encounter.  They describe the object as a massive "disc-shaped UAP" with an abnormal heat signature weaving through the clouds and changing directions in a way that cannot be explained.

The Reassuring Message of Bible Prophecy

 A recent survey showed that conservatives, as a group, are much happier, less depressed and less anxious than Liberals.  You mean the purple haired they/thems with a college degree in gender studies who move from protesting global warming to Gaza to Trump aren’t really happy? 😜

Bible readers know that God is sovereign and in control.  We know there is nothing that surprises God and we know He is working out the future.  And of course Bible readers are 100 times more likely to be conservatives.

So crazy Muslims chanting “death to America and death to Israel!”, really doesn’t ruin our day.  We know Satan hates Jews and we know that Islam is a creation of Satan so we just watch the news and realize that God is working out the very Last Days!…and that gives us much joy, peace, happiness and reassurance.

*************************

Watching reports of the damage caused by Iranian missiles in Israel distresses me, especially after I heard about the one that struck a hospital. Governed by the satanic tenets of Islam, Iran’s objective is not just to defeat Israel but to murder as many Jews as possible.

Daniel Cohen, in a recent article on Harbinger’s Daily, quoted pastor Jack Hibbs’ explanation of Islam’s murderous rage toward Jacob’s descendants:

[The religion of Islam also demands that] “all Jews must be killed globally. “The Earth must be rid of Jews. Why? Because if there’s no Jerusalem and if there’s no Israel, then the Messiah—Yeshua Hamashiach, Jesus Christ—does not return to establish His kingdom.”

“People don’t understand that, but Satan does. If there is no Israel, then where will the Messiah return?”

God’s Word, and in particular Bible prophecy, explains the devil’s rage against Israel as manifested through the Iranian leaders. Yet so many believers dismiss prophecy as stale theology, tertiary (of third-rate importance), or irrelevant. If one follows today’s popular doctrinal teachings regarding Israel, he or she will not only miss the why of what’s happening in the Middle East, but also the calming reassurance that comes from recognizing that God remains in control of all things.

The Bible doesn’t provide us with all the specifics of the current war between Israel and Iran or what might happen in the coming weeks and months. However, God’s Word tells us what lies ahead for Israel as well as for us as New Testament saints.

The War and Israel’s Future

What reassurance do we find in Scripture regarding the future of Israel?

First, Israel will survive. No matter what happens during the remainder of the current war or in its aftermath, the nation will not only remain viable but will also continue to attract the world’s attention (in most cases, unwelcome). While we have yet to see the complete fulfillment of Zechariah 12:1-3, we already witness the world’s baffling passion for meddling in all things pertaining to Jerusalem.

Scripture also tells us that someday God will restore a glorious kingdom to Israel. At the end of the Tribulation, Jesus will return to Israel, and a repentant remnant will welcome Him (Matthew 23:37-39). He will destroy Satan’s kingdom and reign over all the nations of the earth. Once we understand what lies ahead for Israel, it makes sense that our adversary would do all he can to thwart God’s plans.

Second, although the current conflict is not the Gog/Magog war foretold in Ezekiel chapters 38-39, it’s preparing the way for it. For the past several years, we have watched as nations involved in this future invasion of Israel have aligned precisely as predicted by the ancient prophet. We don’t know when, but it appears that this invasion lies in the not-too-distant future.

The Lord revealed to His prophet that the Gog/Magog invasion will happen when Israel resides securely (38:11). Should Israel soundly defeat the current regime in Iran along with its allies, which seems probable, it’s likely that such a victory could lead to the peaceful conditions that will precede this future war.

Third, the current conflict is continuing to condition Israel to accept the peace accord that antichrist will offer to its leaders. I can’t imagine what it’s like to go into bomb shelters two or three times a day and listen to intercepted missiles exploding in the air and feel the impact of those that get past the defenses. All this is on top of the October 7, 2023, barbaric massacre and the constant warfare that has ensued since then, which already has a war-weary Israel longing for peace.

Daniel 9:27 tells us that the coming antichrist will initiate a peace agreement with Israel, which he will break three and a half years later (see also Matthew 24:15).

I agree with the many prophecy experts who believe the Gog/Magog invasion will occur just before antichrist appears on the world scene. By then, Israel’s leaders will be all the more willing to agree to the terms of someone who’s able to guarantee an extended period of peace for them. Should he include the rebuilding of the temple in his deal, that will make his offer all the more enticing.

Bible Prophecy’s Consoling Message for Us

The certainty of God fulfilling His covenant promises to Israel is extremely good news for us. It reminds us that He remains in control of all things. Just as He able to bring Israel to repentance and restore a kingdom to its people in the future, so He’s able to keep all His promises to us. Jesus will surely come for us and take us home to the place He’s preparing for us (John 14:1-3). Count on it!

God cannot lie. He will not fail to bring all those He justifies to Heaven above (Romans 8:28-39). Just as the Lord exercises His sovereignty on behalf of Israel, so He will do the same to bring us safely to glory before the start of the coming seven-year Tribulation.

The reassuring message of Bible prophecy is this:

1. God is sovereign over all human affairs; He’s in total control of all the outcomes that impact His people, whether it be Israel or us as New Testament saints.
2. Regardless of what we experience between now and Jesus’ appearing, He will not fail to rescue us and at that time give us immortal bodies like that of His own (1 Corinthians 15:47-55; Philippians 3;20-21).
3. No matter how bleak things might look for Israel or for us in days ahead, we can rest in the certainty of His promises for both. He’s both willing and able to keep all His promises.

I don’t understand why so many believers and even pastors dismiss Bible prophecy as irrelevant for their lives. Its promises bring sweet relief amid the wars, rumors of wars, violence, and rampant lawlessness of the day in which we live.

There’s no greater encouragement for perilous times in which we live than the consolation that comes from understanding and believing what the Bible reveals about the future.

Iran’s Nuke Sites Totally “Obliterated”

 The Iranian regime has screamed “Death to America!  Death to Israel!”, since 1979 when the Muslim freaks took over and held US hostages in Tehran for hundreds of days.  They only released them when Reagan was elected because they weren’t scared of Jimmy Carter but did fear what Reagan would do.

Iran is the leading sponsor of global terror.  Hezbollah, Hamas, Syria, Houthis in Yemen…all supported by Tehran.  Israel has effectively dismantled Hamas and Hezbollah and USA had bombed the Houthis so Iran was on the ropes with its proxies all weak and feeble.  And now Trump delivered a decisive blow right into the brisket.

It sounds like numerous bunker buster bombs were dropped on 3 nuke sites right in the heart of Iran.  The bombers flew from a base in Missouri!  How incredible is the US Military?  

***********************

Iran launched two barrages of ballistic missiles at Israel on Sunday morning, just hours after the United States carried out coordinated airstrikes on Iran’s key nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.

Emergency services reported that at least 16 people have been hospitalized so far, including one man in his 30s in moderate condition with shrapnel wounds to his upper body and 15 others suffering mild injuries.

Magen David Adom was treating and evacuating casualties, while teams continued to scan additional impact sites for potential victims.

According to Israeli media and official sources, 25 ballistic missiles were fired from Iranian territory toward central and northern Israel in the early hours of Sunday morning, triggering widespread air-raid sirens and activating Israel’s missile defense systems.

Among the hardest-hit locations was a retirement home in central Israel, where the roof collapsed following a missile impact. Police bomb disposal units and rescue teams are on site, ensuring no explosives remain and that no residents are trapped. Three people have been evacuated from the scene, along with elderly residents who were unharmed but required assistance due to the structural damage.

The Iranian missile barrage came just hours after U.S.airstrikes that, according to U.S. President Donald Trump, “totally obliterated” Iran’s primary nuclear enrichment sites, at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. Trump declared the operation “extremely successful,” emphasizing that the Fordow facility had been“eliminated” and calling for Iran to “agree to end this war.”
