Levites Sing on Temple Mount for First Time in 2000 Years

Pretty amazing times we are living in!  This isn’t like breaking a weather event or temperature that hasn’t happened in 100 years, this hasn’t happened in 2000 years!  For all the Bible readers who know God made promises to Israel, this is amazing.  For all the prophecy watchers who believe Jesus is coming back in the pre-trib rapture to take His bride to the place he has prepared, this is one other sign that His return for us could be any day…and we won’t be surprised!

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

 The silence that has hung over the Temple Mount for nearly two thousand years was broken Thursday morning when three Levites ascended Judaism’s holiest site and sang the daily psalm. The moment marks an unprecedented restoration of an ancient Temple service that ceased with the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE.

The Levites who participated in the ascent described their experience in a statement: “We were moved today to fulfill (partially) our dream as sons of Levi – to sing the song of God on the holy mountain. Today, thank God, there are several organizations of Levites preparing for the day when we can stand again on the platform, and we invite our Levite brothers to inquire and join.”

The Bible assigns the Levites a specific role in Temple worship. In the book of Chronicles, King David organizes the Levitical singers: “David and the commanders of the army set apart for the service the sons of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun, who prophesied with lyres, harps, and cymbals” (1 Chronicles 25:1). This wasn’t merely ceremonial music. The Sages teach that Levitical song was an essential component of the Temple service itself, so integral that sacrifices offered without it were considered incomplete.

The Beyadenu movement for the Temple Mount facilitated Thursday’s event and helped make it accessible to the public as part of its activities to strengthen the living, values-based, and communal connection to the Temple Mount.

Akiva Ariel, acting CEO of Beyadenu, stated: “Since the destruction of the Second Temple, the song of the Levites has not been heard on the Temple Mount. This moment expresses the longing and deep connection of the people of Israel to the holiest place in a respectful, modest, and sanctifying way. This is a moving civic initiative that continues the heartbeat of the nation toward this place.”

Beyadenu emphasized that events of this type join a long line of communal and educational initiatives that express the awakening and renewed connection to the Temple Mount from across the country.

The return of Levitical song to the Temple Mount represents more than historical reenactment. It signals a generation of Jews refusing to accept the Mount’s status as a place where Jewish prayer and worship remain restricted. While current policies limit Jewish religious expression on the site, initiatives like Thursday’s Levitical singing push the boundaries of what Jewish presence on the Mount can mean.

The three Levites who sang on Thursday stood in the footsteps of their ancestors who once filled the Temple courts with psalms. Their voices carried across stones that remember King David’s harp and Solomon’s dedication. After 1,955 years of silence, the songs of Levi sound again on the Mount.

Minnesota Muslim in Sheriff’s Office Says He’s Here to Serve Somalis First

 How can it be that tens of millions of American adults can’t see what is happening right in front of our faces?  How can they not comprehend that Islam has a long term plan to throw down Western civilization and dominate and subjugate anyone who isn’t willing to bow to Allah and sharia law?

Yes, Minnesota does have a problem.  Too many Muslims who have no intention of assimilating.  We now have call to prayer, a Muslim congresswoman, a Muslim in the sheriff’s office, almost elected a Muslim mayor and the mayor who did win gave part of his acceptance speech in Somali.

When Minnesota nice become Minnesota stupid, the Muslims move in to fill the vacuum created common sense leaving the vicinity.

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

A viral video that was posted on X on November 22, 2025, by the user CheckMate (@Checkmatedsl) shows a Minnesota sheriff addressing Somali Minnesotans in his native language, not English. According to reports, h e calls non-Somali-born Minnesotans “foreigners,” and bluntly states that he is here to serve Somalis first. The video has over 1.2 million views.

“As Somalian police officers, we work for you (Somalians) day and night, we stand for you and serve you,” read the translation appearing on the clip that Libs of TikTok shared from the account @Checkmatedsl, who is an independent journalist. “As you know, we came to this country as refugees. There were no Somali police officers. So now that we have been hired, it means we are working for our own people (Somalians).”

The officer continued, “We understand the culture. We understand the language. We understand the way of life. That’s why we are different from foreigners or white officers.”

“We help bridge that gap,” he added, “And know this … every Somalian police officer, whether you’re in the homeland or abroad, works for you (Somalians).”

Minnesota has a problem

This is not an outlier. Muslim police and political leaders, such as Representative and Squad member Ilhan Omar (D-MN), say the very same thing over and over again.

The mayoral race in Minneapolis resulted in Omar Fateh being defeated, not because the overwhelming Muslim population didn’t want an Islamic mayor, but because of a feud between Somali clans. Fateh also pledged his loyalty to Somalia. Instead, they elected a communist, Jacob Frey, who was more than happy to give his acceptance speech in Somali and bow to the Ummah.

The UN Belongs in the Dustbin of History

 The civilized world yearns for peace.  After every huge war the victors get together and come up with some plan where all the suits can sit around and figure out how to prevent another big war.  Such was the case with the United Nations.  But clearly they didn’t stop Russia from invading Ukraine.  They don’t stop Muslims from killing Christians in Nigeria by the thousands.  So America sends $billions every year and then we get outvoted by some losers in a crap hole country.  

The world will not have peace until the Prince of Peace returns to sit on His throne in Jerusalem.  There will be one huge final attempt when the Antichrist shows up, because while “they are saying ‘peace and safety’, destruction will come upon them suddenly.”

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

The problem is not just the UN’s leadership or its sprawling bureaucracy. The problem is structural — a fatal flaw built into its very design. The UN’s “one country, one vote” system, in which the smallest dictatorship and the largest democracy have equal standing in the General Assembly, has produced an organization where morality and decency are lost. Where Israel, a democracy, is regularly singled out for criticism while its enemies are welcomed.  

The world’s democracies, which provide the lion’s share of the UN’s funding — especially the United States — find themselves routinely outvoted by blocs of authoritarian regimes that use their membership not to promote peace or justice, but to shield each other from accountability. The result is an institution that rewards the corrupt, legitimizes the violent, and sidelines the nations that actually uphold the values the UN was meant to defend. And it is American taxpayers who foot the largest share of the bill for this failure. Each year, billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars flow into UN programs and peacekeeping missions that produce little peace and even less accountability.

One of the UN’s greatest mistakes came in 1971, when it voted to expel the Republic of China (Taiwan) and hand China’s seat — including its permanent seat on the Security Council — to the People’s Republic of China (PRC). With that single decision, the UN replaced a democratic ally with a totalitarian regime. It legitimized a government that would go on to crush dissent at home, erase freedoms in Hong Kong, threaten Taiwan with invasion, and commit genocide against the Uyghur people. The fact that the PRC, an authoritarian state guilty of mass repression, now holds a permanent veto in the world’s most powerful diplomatic body (the Security Council) is a stunning indictment of how far the UN has strayed from its founding ideals.

The consequences of that and similar decisions have been on full display in the last few years. Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine exposed the UN’s impotence in the starkest possible terms. A permanent member of the Security Council — supposedly the guardian of world peace — launched an unprovoked war of conquest against a sovereign neighbor, and the UN could do nothing. Russia vetoed every meaningful resolution. The General Assembly passed condemnations, but the bombs kept falling, the civilians kept dying, and the institution that was created to prevent world wars stood helplessly on the sidelines. China received no rebuke for its targeting of the Uyghurs due to its veto power on the  Security Council.  The PRC’s ongoing persecution of the Uyghur Muslim minority — one of the gravest human rights abuses of our time — has been met with silence and deflection from the UN Human Rights Council. The irony is staggering: China, itself a serial abuser, sits comfortably on that very council, using its seat to suppress criticism. “One country, one vote” ensures that the abuser has the same voice as the abused — and often a louder one.

The same Orwellian nightmare was evident after Hamas’s savage invasion of Israel on October 7, 2023 — one of the most horrific terrorist attacks in modern times. As thousands of terrorist rockets rained down on Israeli families and over a thousand people were slaughtered in their homes, the UN could not even bring itself to condemn Hamas by name. Instead, the General Assembly and several UN agencies issued statements that blurred the line between aggressor and victim, treating Israel’s right to self-defense as a moral equivalent to terrorism. Once again, “one country, one vote” allows despotic and anti-Western regimes to hijack the moral language of human rights and turn it against the very democracies that uphold it.

Then there is Iran, a regime openly pursuing nuclear weapons while funding terrorist proxies across the Middle East. The UN’s response? Endless debates, toothless resolutions, and bureaucratic stalls. The same pattern can be seen in Syria, where Bashar al-Assad’s regime slaughtered hundreds of thousands of its own citizens with chemical weapons and barrel bombs. The UN’s so-called peace process only accomplished buying Assad time while his allies, Russia and Iran, used their UN privileges to shield him from consequences.

These are not isolated failures. They are the inevitable result of a system that confuses equality of states with genuine values. The “one country, one vote” model might sound fair on paper, but in practice it has turned the UN into a theater of hypocrisy — a place where the worst offenders on the planet sit in judgment of the world’s democracies.

Yet year after year, American taxpayers are told that their billions must continue flowing into this failed organization — as if funding negligence and nonperformance was a moral duty. It is not. U.S. resources should be used far more effectively through coalitions of willing democracies or regional alliances that actually share our values. The UN ceased generations ago to be a forum for peace, and it is now a stage for undermining peace. To continue subsidizing it is to underwrite our critics.

History has already given us the blueprint for what must come next. The League of Nations failed and was replaced by the UN. Now the UN, too, has failed. The world deserves an international body worthy of the prestige — and the U.S. taxpayer dollars — that the UN unjustifiably receives. It is time to admit what has long been obvious: the United Nations is no longer the solution. It is a large part of the problem. And the UN, like the League before it, belongs in the dustbin of history.

6 Warning Signs USA Will Soon Strike Venezuela

Go to the link at the bottom if you want to read all 6 signs.  It definitely looks like something is happening.  The world is on the verge of major wars in so many places.  It just seems like something major is broken and things are only going to get worse on planet earth.  Thankfully, this earth is just a mist for followers of Christ so remember that darkness comes before the day.  Jesus is coming but we are seeing the shadows of the Great Tribulation that will commence soon after the rapture.

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

 #4 If a major military operation was imminent, we would expect airlines to cancel flights, and that is precisely what is occurring…

Several major airlines have pulled Venezuelan flights following a U.S. aviation safety warning, disrupting travel to the country and as the Trump administration escalates pressure on President Nicolás Maduro.

According to Reuters, at least three airlines, Brazil’s Gol, Colombia’s Avianca, and TAP Air Portugal, canceled departures from Caracas Saturday, with other international carriers making changes through Monday.

The flight disruption also impacted the U.K. and Europe, coinciding with the administration’s decision to designate the Venezuelan group known as the Cartel de los Soles, as a foreign terrorist organization.

#5 Thousands of U.S. Marines and the most advanced aircraft carrier in the world have been put into position to take action against Venezuela…

The USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group entered the Caribbean Sea on November 16, 2025, after crossing into the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility on November 11. The Ford, the Navy’s newest supercarrier, brings F-35C stealth fighters, advanced radars, and a full air wing.

Just hours ago, Chinese President Xi Jinping released a letter which “reaffirmed Beijing’s steadfast support for Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro”…

Chinese President Xi Jinping has reaffirmed Beijing’s steadfast support for Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, sending a congratulatory letter on the eve of the embattled leader’s birthday that pledged continued backing for the South American country’s sovereignty amid mounting regional tensions and US military pressure.

In the message, released by Venezuela’s Foreign Ministry over the weekend, Xi described China and Venezuela as “intimate friends, dear brothers and good partners”.

He vowed to keep supporting Caracas in “safeguarding its sovereignty and national security, the dignity of the nation, and social stability”.

If the United States goes to war with Venezuela, that will also seriously damage our relationship with Russia.

It is being reported that 120 Russian troops are currently in Venezuela for training purposes…

A controversial Russian general is now in Venezuela leading a rotational advisory mission, the head of Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence Directorate (GUR) told The War Zone exclusively. Colonel General Oleg Leontievich Makarevich commands the Russian Ministry of Defense’s Equator Task Force (ETF), Lt. Gen. Kyrylo Budanov said. Makarevich is in charge of more than 120 troops who are training Venezuelan forces on a wide range of military functions, according to Budanov.

If we start bombing the living daylights out of Venezuela, peace in Ukraine will become almost impossible.

Do we really want to go down that road?

Speaking of Ukraine, we are being told that the fortress city of Pokrovsk has now fallen to the Russians…

Key Donetsk bastion of Pokrovsk will turn back to being called by its Russian name Krasnoarmeysk.

After a 21-month long battle, Ukraine has just lost one of the most important Donetsk cities it still holds, a 60k citizen-strong road and rail hub that is vital for logistics and supply.

My recommendation would be to pursue peace with the Russians while that is still possible.

I am sure that most of you feel the same way.

Unfortunately, that window appears to be closing.

Once we go to war with Venezuela, things will start changing very rapidly.

Most Americans could not even find Venezuela on a blank map of the world, but what is about to happen there is going to have enormous implications for every man, woman and child in our entire nation.

Experts Believe Trump May Soon Reveal “Aliens”

 That’s the headline;  Trump May Soon Reveal Aliens.  I think he will.  He has no choice because of this new movie coming out called Disclosure.  The director interviewed dozens of high level government folks who swore to the existence of aliens and their ships.

How will the world react?  For many they will say, “I knew it!  If we evolved from rocks billions of years ago then millions of other life forms in the universe also would have evolved from rocks!”

Others will say, “well this puts a fork in human religion worshipping some father in the sky!”

Catholic leaders will say, “we said over a decade ago that we would welcome and baptize our brothers of the universe.”

But Bible readers, and the author of this article, will understand that a massive deception has started.  These aren’t aliens evolved from space dust on a far away planet!  These are the same demons and forces of evil in the heavenly realms that have been deceiving men since the snake in the garden deceived Eve.

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

New reports are swirling that President Trump is soon going to announce the existence of extraterrestrial life, and I don’t mean some microbe on Mars.  I mean the real deal.

Granted, I realize that is from TMZ, but truth be told they get it right far more often than the “MSM”.

But now let’s go deeper….

Because their report is based on a new movie called The Age of Disclosure, which includes many high ranking officials (even Marco Rubio is in it, more on that in a minute) saying Aliens are real, we’ve known for a long time, and the Government has been waiting on the right time for disclosure.

The director of that new documentary said live on ABC News last weekend that President Trump came very close to making this disclosure in his first term, and he will indeed to it soon now.

Folks, I've been telling you about this for over 10+ years now....

At first, I was laughed out of the room.

Now?  No more laughing.  Disclosure is imminent.  I told you this would be the final card they would play....looks like we are going to be right again!

But please do not be deceived....here's what they REALLY are so you are not caught off-guard or misled:

The Bible tells us very clearly that there is coming in the future a "Deception" so great that even believers will be fooled by it.

That's not really up for debate.

The only thing up for debate is (1) what is it, and (2) has it already started?

I'm going to give you my opinion on both of those questions in this article and then I want to hear what YOU think!

First I have to put this in context.

Third years ago, if I would have tried to have a serious debate and discussion about whether "aliens" are real, I would have been laughed out of the room.

Today?

Today it's not only debated in Congress but actual testimony to Congress from multiple sources all say they're real, they've seen them, we have many of their craft/vessels, and we even have "biologics".

"Biologics" = we have recovered or captured alien bodies.

Folks, that is not Noah on the Internet saying I think those things are true.

The Devil's Plan to Ruin the Next Generation

 Our pastor started his sermon on Sunday, November 16th with a startling statistic.  He said that the Gen Z generation is at an anxiety and depression level today that would have had a person institutionalized in the 1950's.  That's a very troubling statistic.  And of course these folks seek to medicate their problems away so are filled up with anti-anxiety and anti-depression meds.  When they don't suffice they try to drink, snort, smoke or inject their way to numb the pain or find some satisfaction somewhere.

Meanwhile, our adversary, the devil, used China to send us the fentanyl to kills us all, Tik Tok to brainwash us all and Muslims move into America to destroy us all.

So this dude asked ChatGPT, "If you were the devil, how would you destroy us?"  The answer is "give all the kids cell phones."

Earlier this year, someone started a viral trend of asking ChatGPT this question: If you were the devil, how would you destroy the next generation, without them even knowing it?

Chat’s responses were profound and unsettling: “I wouldn’t come with violence. I’d come with convenience.” “I’d keep them busy. Always distracted.”

“I’d watch their minds rot slowly, sweetly, silently. And the best part is, they’d never know it was me. They’d call it freedom.”

As a social psychologist who has been trying since 2015 to figure out what on earth was happening to Gen Z, I was stunned. Why? Because what the AI proposed doing is pretty much what technology seems to be doing to children today. It seemed to be saying: If the devil wanted to destroy a generation, he could just give them all smartphones.

Here;  Jonathan Haidt: The Devil’s Plan to Ruin the Next Generation

It does make us wonder if the judgment of America has already started and the final straw will be when the Holy Spirit is taken out (the restrainer) at the rapture.

Congressional Democrats Roll Out Antisemitism PAC

If you need more evidence that Jews and Israel are under attack like no other time since the 1930’s, read on.  The topic of Israel has been so divisive that the Democrats need a PAC where members can speak freely about supporting Israel and maintain their standing as a Democrat.

How can a tiny nation of 9 million be at the center of everybody’s thoughts?  Why does the world care so much about this issue of a few million Jews living in their historical lands?

Because God is doing something in Israel and the Prince of this World hates it.

Sadly, with how some conservatives are turning on Israel I won’t be surprised if one day the Republicans need to form a similar PAC.

The Bible says that one day Israel will be all alone and God himself will supernaturally defend her.  Read Ezekiel 38.  The table seems to be getting set.

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

Congressional Democrats have unveiled a new political action committee aimed at confronting a surge of antisemitism within the party.

The Alliance Against Anti-Semitism PAC, co-chaired by Reps. Greg Landsman (D-OH), Laura Friedman (D-CA), and Ted Lieu (D-CA), was quietly registered with the FEC in October and is now preparing to support candidates who are willing to speak forcefully against anti-Jewish rhetoric ahead of next year’s primaries.

While the Democratic Party already has several groups focused on pro-Israel politics, the PAC is the first explicitly dedicated to countering antisemitism.

“We want to celebrate and lift up those leaders who are unapologetically going to fight back against hate in all of its forms, including antisemitism,” Landsman tells Jewish Insider.

“Sometimes antisemitism gets lost. This is our effort to root it out on our side, and I think it’s going to have an enormous impact.”

“There has been a lot of demonizing and bothering of Jews, particularly Jews who believe in Jewish self-determination and statehood,” he added.

Minnesota’s Somalians Make the National News in a Bad Way

Most Americans would like to think that when America takes in immigrants from crap hole countries, like Somalia, that they would be so grateful that they would become Americans, do away with their crap hole culture, keep their noses clean and work hard to find the American dream.

But now that MN has allowed hundreds of thousands of Muslim Somalian refugees into the state, they are making a mess and robbing us blind.  Trump says to send them all home.

It’s a mess for sure and Democrats and their false belief that “people are basically good” is what fueled the fire of this massive scam.

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

(Just the News) — Federal prosecutors have uncovered multiple fraud schemes involving Somali immigrants in Minnesota that have siphoned billions in taxpayer money from food, welfare and autism safety net programs and even routed some to overseas terrorists.

The scandal uncovered by Acting U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson in Minneapolis has handed Republicans a political cudgel heading into the 2026 election to bash liberals like Gov. Tim Walz for creating a welfare state with little or no safeguards and now countless victims of fraud.

The dragnet has already resulted in 77 indictments for fraud against a food welfare program under a nonprofit called Feeding Our Future as well as a medical professional who prosecutors alleged falsely diagnosed Somali children to steal $14 million from a federal autism assistance program.

“These are things that, if well used, this is a good way to help our families and our friends, kind of with that hand up to continue to climb the American Dream ladder, but it was completely squandered, completely mismanagement, the Democrats, you know, were a complete failure,” Rep. Brad Finstad, R-Minn., told Just the News this week.

“And quite frankly, you almost wonder if they’re just compliant in this, and they knew what was going on. How do they sit back with a blind eye to this is beyond negligence, it is criminal,” he added.

Federal authorities say the fraud across multiple programs in Minnesota alone now totals in the billions of dollars and continues to grow. And last week officials told City Journal that some of the money siphoned away by Somali immigrants made its way to Somalia to the Al-Qaeda linked terrorist group Al-Shabaab.

“You look at the money, you look at the people that have been arrested and put in jail, and we’re tracking this money back to Kenya, to Somalia, and quite frankly, it could be Al-Shabaab,” Finstad said.

The scale of fraud inside the Somali community in Minnesota is so large that it is now commanding attention by national figures, including House Speaker Mike Johnson.

“Millions in stolen Minnesota welfare dollars have been funneled to Al-Shabaab — an ISIS-aligned TERROR group?” Johnson wrote on X this weekend. “This happened because Democrats built a system so loose, so corrupt, and so politically timid that fraudsters exploited it.”

President Donald Trump also weighed in on Saturday, revoking a special temporary protective status for Somalis in Minnesota and decrying the level of fraud the community has caused in Minnesota.

“Minnesota, under Governor Waltz, is a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity. I am, as President of the United States, hereby terminating, effective immediately, the Temporary Protected Status (TPS Program) for Somalis in Minnesota,” he announced on Truth Social.

“Somali gangs are terrorizing the people of that great State, and BILLIONS of Dollars are missing. Send them back to where they came from. It’s OVER!” he added.

On Thursday, the 77th defendant in the food welfare program scheme was indicted, and his case gives a sense of how systemic and organize the fraud schemes have been.

Federal prosecutors said Ousman Camara, 45, was indicted on nine charges alleging fraud, federal programs bribery, and money laundering.

Camara was the owner of K’s Dollar Grocery and Deli, a small storefront grocery store in north Minneapolis. In August 2015, the Agriculture Department disqualified Camara and his store from food stamps due to suspected fraud.

In September 2020, prosecutors alleged, Camara enrolled K’s Grocery in the Federal Child Nutrition Program under the sponsorship of Feeding Our Future. In 2020 and 2021, Camara fraudulently claimed to be serving meals to 1,000 children a day, seven days a week, at his site when he wasn’t.

In all, Camara claimed to have served more than 300,000 meals to children, for which he claimed to be entitled to more than $1 million in Federal Child Nutrition Program reimbursement, authorities said.

Camara did not use these funds to purchase food to feed children. Instead, he used the money to fund his lifestyle, pay his credit card bills, and buy a building in north Minneapolis and also sent some of that money overseas, prosecutors alleged.

Republicans across the country are signaling they intend to use the fraud in Minnesota to run against the far left’s open borders, welfare-driven policies.

“This story is a perfect storm of progressive governance: non-existent immigration vetting, massive welfare and benefits fraud, and American tax dollars going to people who want us dead,” Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, said.

Japan Crossed a Red Line With China

 Wars and rumors of war. 

Taiwan will continue to be a flashpoint for WWIII forevermore.  The South China Sea will be where it starts.  China dredges up islands made of sand and sticks a flag on them and says, “our territory! Stay away or else!”  America has signed a promise decades ago that if China ever invades Taiwan that we will automatically be at full war with China.  

Can America be at full war with China, Russia, North Korea and Iran while fighting radical Muslims in the Middle East and still keeping the peace in the rest of the world all at the same time?  How can we pay for it all?

I will remind you that many world powers before us collapsed under the weight of trying to keep their military bases supplied all over the world.  And now USA has just announced they want to build one in Gaza to keep the peace there.

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

TAIPEI, Taiwan — Japan “crossed a red line” with comments by its new leader suggesting a potential military intervention over Taiwan, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Sunday.

Remarks earlier this month by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi that a Chinese naval blockade or other action against Taiwan could be grounds for a Japanese military response were “shocking,” Wang said in a statement posted on the Chinese Foreign Ministry’s website.

“It is shocking that Japan’s current leaders have publicly sent the wrong signal of attempting military intervention in the Taiwan issue, said things they shouldn’t have said, and crossed a red line that should not have been touched,” Wang said.

The most senior Chinese official to address the tensions so far, Wang added that China must “resolutely respond” to Japan’s actions and that all countries have the responsibility to “prevent the resurgence of Japanese militarism.”

Takaichi’s remarks have led to rising tensions between the two countries over the past few weeks. Beijing on Friday sent a letter to U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres criticizing Takaichi’s “grave violation of international law” and diplomatic norms.

“If Japan dares to attempt an armed intervention in the cross-Strait situation, it would be an act of aggression,” China’s U.N. Ambassador Fu Cong wrote in the letter. “China will resolutely exercise its right of self-defense under the UN Charter and international law and firmly defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

Beijing sees self-ruled Taiwan, a former Japanese colony, as its own territory, to be annexed by force if necessary. China objects to the involvement of other countries in Taiwan, notably the United States, which is the island’s main supplier of weapons, as well as U.S. allies in Asia, including Japan and the Philippines.

Takaichi’s stance is seen as more forceful than that of previous Japanese prime ministers, who have expressed concern about China’s threat to Taiwan but haven’t publicly said how Japan would respond.

The prime minister later refused to retract her remarks but said she would avoid talking about specific scenarios in the future.

Daughter of Hamas Founder Speaks

Why are so many Americans oblivious of what TRUE Islam really wants?  Why do college kids put in kifas and scream against the “genocide of Palestinians” while ignoring that it’s the Palestinian text books that are teaching hatred of Jews and the destruction of Israel to all their school kids?  It’s because Satan is a crafty adversary and he prowls around looking for people whom he may destroy while hiding his lies in plain sight for all to see.  

Islam is on its way to destroy America.  As Pastor Jack Hibbs pointed out recently, maybe America is Nineveh and 9/11 was our warning of destruction my militant Islam?  But like Nineveh, we repented when we saw the warning.  Churches were full and people turned to God for a brief moment to beseech Him and ask “why”.  But just 24 years later, after NYC was rocked by Muslim extremists and celebrated by Muslims around the world, the city ELECTED a Muslim as mayor!!

So Nineveh repented after Jonah’s warning so God relented and postponed their destruction, but ultimately they were judged and destroyed a few years later.  In the same way, has God’s judgment began on America and the rapture will destroy her for good?

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

 “My father and my mom, they raised us to hate Israel, and to hate Jewish, hate Christian, and even hate the Muslim Shia, and everyone who's not belonging to Hamas,” Juman al Qawasmi told Raj Nair, CBN News Producer and host. 

“I was born and raised in Qatar, and my father is one of the founders of Hamas,” she explained. The Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) recently showcased the remarkable testimony of al Qawasmi, who came from a top Hamas family and was married to one of the members of the terror group. 

“I just want to say sorry, but we used to curse all the Christians and Jewish, we feel like we should kill them, because this is what Quran says,” al Qawasmi continued. Now she has distanced herself from both Hamas and the radical Islamic beliefs she grew up with. 

Three years before Israel left the Gaza Strip in 2005, she married a Hamas member in Gaza. Hamas was voted into power and the Fatah party was soon overthrown. After some ten years of living under the violent rule of the terror group, al Qawasmi became increasingly alarmed by what she saw Hamas was doing with the control they were given. Initially, they had promised equality and help for Gazans, but nothing positive ever seemed to materialize. 

“I gave my vote to Hamas, I’m sorry for this,” she admitted with regret. “They just gave us some more wars and they start killing the Palestinians, they start to make us feeling, you know, if you are not belonging to Hamas, you should be scared.”

At that time, ISIS was on a killing spree in the Middle East, and even Muslims were not exempt. “I feel there’s something wrong with this religion,” said al Qawasmi, describing her growing unease. She felt she could never make Allah happy with her, and was constantly aware that there was no guarantee she would make it to heaven. 

“I'm always scared from hell, I'm always scared when they put me on my grave, there's a snake coming to make me suffer…. Islam does not give you peace and you're always scared something wrong will happen,” she explained, talking about her anxiety that she could never be holy enough or do things correctly as a Muslim.

It was at this point that a friend who had left Islam and become an atheist suggested that she should try reading the Quran “without holiness, like a regular book.” He was confident that she, too, would realize that, when read in a straightforward manner, the Quran was full of killing and questionable morality. 

Al Qawasmi came across the passages where Mohammed had taken the wife of his adopted son to be his own wife and then found justification for it. This lead her to start asking questions. “I feel like, okay, the Quran does not make sense,” she said, explaining her journey away from Islam. 

Unlike her friend, al Qawasmi still believed in God but felt He couldn’t be the character represented in the pages of the Quran. She started to pray every day, saying, “God, if you exist, I want to know you, I want to meet you,” she told CBN. “Because I know deep inside there is a God.” It was as she began to pray like this that Qawasmi started to experience miracles. “He healed my children, like they almost died,” she said. 

It was during a time of war with Israel around 2014 that she received a dream of Jesus. The IDF had called her husband, warning him to clear everyone out of the house, but he lied and told them no one was home. “They’re calling people before they bomb their houses. They are not killing the houses randomly,” she said, explaining the IDF protocol. But a warning is no good if it is not heeded. Al Qawasmi, along with everyone else in the surrounding area, watched with horror as bombs started to fall.

“That night, they bombed our neighbor's house and it was so scary for me,” she said. She was certain she was about to die, and wept bitterly. “I've been crying a lot and that night I said, God, if you… exist, please, I want to know you, I want to call your name. I want you to save me,” she pleaded.

“So that night, I was dreaming and I saw myself with my mom, and my mom passed away in 2005 and that was in 2014. I saw my mom and we're… sitting in a balcony and the moon was so big and closer to us and my mom asked me to look at the moon and I saw Jesus' face coming out of the moon and he was speaking to me in Arabic.” In essence, Al Qawasmi relayed, Jesus had revealed Himself as God and was talking to her face to face. “He was saying, “'You are my daughter. Don't be afraid,'” she recounted.

Aware of a strong presence in her room even after awakening, she thought, “Oh, this is real.” She told Nair that she was new to the Arabic name for Jesus. “I never heard Yesua’s (Yeshua's) name before, because we call him Isa in the Quran,” and explained that all her life she’s only ever been around Muslim communities, and knew no Christians at all. “No one told me about Him before. But when I heard the name, I feel like it's beautiful name, and He's a beautiful God, and I feel peace inside my heart,” she said.

“For the first time, I feel like someone's loved me,” she recalled. She began googling the name “Yesua” to discover more about her new friend. She soon found she was not the first Muslim to have had a dream or vision of Yeshua, she almost immediately came across His revolutionary teaching about loving enemies. Her face now glows with God’s love as she speaks about her sorrow for ever hating anyone, especially Jews and Christians.

Now Qawasmi can more clearly see the cruel tactics of the terror group she had been so intertwined with and understands the rage against Israel. She was also able to see that Israel was responding to provocation initiated by Hamas.

“What’s happening in Gaza is all about Hamas,” she told CBN. “We’ve been in peace until the Intifada was happening… Before this, like nothing was happening.”

She recalled the Israeli efforts to help rebuild Gaza in 2008: “Israel sent money to rebuild Gaza, and they promised them that “Gaza will be like Singapore, but just let's have peace.” 

Meanwhile, at that time, al Qawasmi’s family was involved in the Hamas plan to build an entire city of terror tunnels under the Strip. 

“They never built a shelter for people, for children, never. There's not one shelter in Gaza… It's all for Hamas,” she lamented. “They are hiding now, and they just let people die… like a human shield, it doesn't care for our lives. They just care for their position, their power, and they just want to stay strong and they want to stay in control, but they don't care for our lives,” she said. 

Hamas may not care for the people of Gaza, but Yeshua really does. Juman al Qawasmi has discovered the truth: Hamas may be an organization of hate and terror, but she is eternally loved by the Prince of Peace.

Growing Lukewarm

Below, I’ve posted Pastor Daymond’s entire article about America growing lukewarm.  It’s a beautiful day here in America.  The grocery stores, gas stations, roads, department stores, banks and restaurants are all open and running.  So praise God for one more day!  But it’s not going to be like this forever.  Rejecting God and his son Jesus has consequences.  Dividing God’s land will be catastrophic.

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

 On Nov. 10, 2025, the Prophecy News Watch (PNW) staff posted an article that contained the following (and more):

• Something is changing in the heart of America–quietly, steadily, and with consequences that will touch every church and every family.
• In the last half-century, the number of Muslims in the United States has multiplied many times over.
• A simple truth hides behind all the statistics: in just two or three generations, America will not look the same spiritually.
• In 1970, about nine out of ten Americans identified as Christian.
• Today, that number has dropped to around six in ten–and falling fast.
• What happens when the balance shifts? What will our nation look like when Islamic culture begins to influence public life, education, and law on a scale we’ve never seen before?
• Islam is not merely a religion but a complete way of life.
• Its law, known as Sharia, governs not only worship but also marriage, inheritance, diet, modesty, and justice.
• In Islamic thought, there is no separation between mosque and state; religion and law are one.
• This is not a call to hatred or fear–but a call to wake up.
• While mosques rise, churches close.
• While Muslim families grow, Christian families dwindle.
• While Islam gains confidence, Christianity grows timid.
• If these trends continue, the spiritual future of America will be written not by the faith that built it, but by one that seeks to redefine it.

Jesus taught that every jot and tittle of His Word would be fulfilled.

In His letter to the Church at Laodicea, He taught that many would grow lukewarm at the end of the age.

The fulfillment of His Word is constantly moving forward.

We can see it approaching.

Here are some recent events that seem to support this:

One, concerning the Roman Catholic Church’s opposition to the deportation of illegal immigrants from the U.S.: this week, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a statement opposing “the indiscriminate mass deportation of people.”

On Nov. 14, 2025, the White House Border Czar Tom Homan said:

• The Catholic Church is wrong.
• I’m a lifelong Catholic.
• I’m saying it not only as a border czar, but I’m also saying this as a Catholic.

(My opinion: Drug smugglers, sex traffickers, terrorists, etc., that are in the U.S. illegally should be removed or jailed.)

Two, concerning the Mark of the Beast: on Nov. 13, 2025, a reader sent me an article published in Nature Biotechnology that said:

• Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) say they have developed tiny electronic devices, one-billionth the size of a grain of rice, that can be injected into an arm, travel through the bloodstream, and attach to the brain (based on tests in mice).
• After that, the chips can be “wirelessly powered to provide electrical stimulation to the precise area” in a form of stimulation known as “neuromodulation.”
• The human immune system does not reject the robot invaders, as they are “integrated with living, biological cells before being injected,” allowing them to cross the blood-brain barrier without causing damage.
• The researchers say they hope to start clinical trials within three years.

Three, concerning the ashes of a red heifer and a rebuilt Temple at the end of the age: on Nov. 10, 2025, The Temple Institute in Jerusalem released a press statement that says:

• The recent sacrifice of a red heifer was invalid.
• The event was a practice exercise only, using a heifer that was deliberately invalid due to defects, including a damaged tail.
• Priest garments used were not consecrated, further ensuring the act was non-kosher.
• The ashes created during the exercise were left in place and are entirely invalid for ritual purification.
• Only samples were collected—to test equipment—and by individuals who were ritually impure to ensure the act had no halachic effect.
• Anyone who claims otherwise… is mistaken and misleading.
• When we are ready… the real red heifer will be made, G-d willing.

The group also confirmed that four red heifers remain under observation at the Shiloh site, though none have yet received final halachic approval.

(FYI: As I see it, the problem is that some officials want to go solely by what the Old Testament says, and they say the sacrifice was valid, but other officials want to go by what the Old Testament says plus oral tradition – what some of the past rabbis added to the Scriptures – and they say the sacrifice was not valid. Individuals that are watching this will need to decide what to believe for themselves.)

Four, concerning deceit, climate change, and world government: this week, several nations met in Brazil (at the Conference of Parties; COP 30) to push for the elimination of fossil fuels (the use of windmills, solar panels, electric vehicles, etc.).

After this poorly attended conference was barely over, Pres. Trump – who calls climate change a hoax – finalized a sweeping rollback of Biden-era restrictions on oil and gas development in Alaska.

Trump restored access to more than 13 million acres of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska that officials say will bolster U.S. energy security and revive communities on the North Slope.

Five, concerning the decline of America: on Nov. 14, 2025, it was reported that there are now 350,000-400,000 Muslims in Texas alone.

It was also reported that there are now 224 Mosques in Dallas-Fort Worth and 109 in Houston.

Six, concerning violence or wickedness (as in the days of Noah) at the end of the age: on Nov. 13, 2025, Pres. Trump designated four “violent Antifa” European networks as foreign terrorist organizations.

The RAIR foundation said:

• It should be noted that Antifa is not just a US domestic terror organization.
• It is worldwide and has been in play since at least WWII, and actually before that, led by communists and Democratic Socialists.

A U.S. State Dept. spokesperson said:

• The anarchists, Marxists, and violent extremists of Antifa have waged a terror campaign in the United States and across the Western world for decades, carrying out bombings, beatings, shootings, and riots in service of their extreme agenda.

Seven, on Nov. 11, 2025, French Pres. Emmanuel Macron hosted PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas in Paris.

Few people doubt that Abbas pays terrorists to kill Jews (called the pay to slay program), and the more they killed, the more he paid them.

During their meeting, Macron embraced Abbas as a “prince of peace” and promised to help the PA draft a new constitution for a State of Palestine.

(Note: I have read that Emmanuel means “God with us.” Macron means “the Mark.” Some think he is the Antichrist. I don’t. But he is from the EU, and the Antichrist will come from the EU. And now he has called Mahmoud Abbas a “prince of peace.” Incredible things are happening.)

Eight, concerning the Battle of Gog of Magog: on Nov. 14, 2025, William Koenig posted an article with a link to Nov. 10, 2025, an article in Newsweek Magazine that said:

• Iran is accelerating its missile production with the stated goal of being able to fire 2,000 missiles at once (not 500 over 12 days as before) in any future confrontation with Israel, aiming to overwhelm the country’s advanced defense systems, according to a report by The New York Times.
• Iran’s missile factories are reportedly operating 24 hours a day to reach the explicit goal of being able to launch2,000 missiles simultaneously.
• If Iran reaches its target capacity, Israel’s multi-layered missile defenses could face unprecedented pressure.

(FYI: According to the Bible, it is not a matter of if there will be another war; it is a matter of when there will be another war.)

(Concerning Russia’s war with Ukraine: on Nov. 14, 2025, Russia fired at least 430 missiles and 18 drones at Ukraine in one night. Overwhelming a nation’s defense systems seems to be one of the latest tactics. When Russia, Iran, etc., attack Israel in the Battle of Gog of Magog, God said they will be like a cloud to cover the land; Ezek. 38:9. Just know that no weapon formed against Israel will prosper.)

Nine, concerning natural disasters increasing in frequency and intensity at the end of the age, on Nov. 16, 2025, it was reported that:

• Iranian authorities have begun large-scale cloud-seeding operations in a desperate bid to generate rainfall as the country confronts its most severe drought in decades.
• Iran’s meteorological agency said precipitation nationwide is down roughly 89 percent compared to long-term average.
• Rainfall in the capital is the lowest in a century, reservoirs are nearing empty, and about half of Iran’s provinces have gone months without a single drop of rain.

(More: On Nov. 19, 2025, it was reported that parts of Vietnam have received more than 43 inches of rain since Nov. 15, 2025.)

Ten, concerning the Two-State Solution, in an interview on CBN News on Nov. 11, 2025, William Koenig said:

• Point number 17 in Pres. Trump’s 20-Point Plan talks about a future Palestinian State.
• In a Sept. 2025 meeting with Arab leaders, Pres. Trump made a commitment that he would not allow Israel to annex Judea and Samaria.
• The U.S. has never had a president to publicly state that he will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank (Judea and Samaria).
• The Bible is very specific that God made a covenant to let Israel and their descendants live on that land (Gen. 15:18).

Here is a link to the interview:

https://cbn.com/video/shows/lethal-curricula-continue-gaza-11112025 (Starts at 16:06 and ends at 20:11 in the video).

(My opinion: Dividing the land of Israel is not something that should win the Nobel Peace Prize for Pres. Trump. It is an egregious violation of God’s everlasting covenant with Israel. It will bring the judgment of God – not peace – upon the world; Gen. 12:1-3; Joel 3:1-2.)

Eleven, concerning Pres. Trump’s talk about a future Palestinian State, on Nov. 16, 2025, Israel’s Prime Min. Netanyahu said he wanted to address two specific issues:

• The first issue is the supposed ‘non-demilitarization’ of the part of Gaza still in Hamas’s hands. There will be no such thing. Under the 20-point plan, and in everything else, that area will be demilitarized and Hamas will be disarmed. Either this will happen the easy way, or it will happen the hard way.
• I have opposed the establishment of a Palestinian stateon any territory west of the Jordan River. I have been pushing back against these attempts for decades, doing so against external pressure as well as internal pressure. So, I don’t need encouragement, tweets, or lectures from anyone.

Twelve, concerning Pres. Trump’s 20-Point Peace Plan: on Nov. 17, 2025, the Jewish News Service (JNS) reported that the UN Security Council approved Trump’s resolution to create and implement an international stabilization force (ISF) in Gaza and what U.S. Pres. Trump has called a Board of Peace, which he will lead and which will serve as a transitional government authority.

The resolution also:

• Sets parameters for Israeli troops to withdraw from Gaza, leaving some in place to guard against resurgent terror threats.
• States that “conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood” after the Palestinian Authority undergoes reforms and Gaza’s reconstruction is “advanced.”

Israeli officials have pushed back forcefully on the language regarding a Palestinian state, which was negotiated only into the final U.S. draft of the resolution.

Pres. Trump said, “This will go down as one of the biggest approvals in the history of the United Nations, will lead to further peace all over the world, and is a moment of true historic proportion.”

(My opinion: There may be a temporary peace – I don’t know – but if there is one, it won’t last.)

(Update: On May 25, 2025, the U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Mike Waltz, addressed the UN and said, “A vote against this resolution is a vote to return to war. Time is not on the side of peace. This is not the time for endless debate and lawyering. The clock is ticking like a time bomb. So, let us vote for this resolution, not as a compromise, but as a covenant for the children of Gaza and for peace that endures.” Notice that Waltz called Trump’s resolution “a covenant for the children of Gaza and for peace.” As I understand it, the Antichrist will confirm – strengthen – a covenant with many for peace. As the old saying goes, “you can’t make this up.”)

Thirteen, concerning New York mayor-elect Mamdani: on Nov. 16, 2025, it was reported that he wants Macy’s to pay $10 million to rent 5th Ave. for 3 hours for the Thanksgiving Day parade.

Macy’s said they would have to charge admission to the parade, and announced that this is the end of the parade.

(More: On Nov. 18, 2025, it was reported that large crowds of Muslims walked directly through a Christmas market in Germany, chanting: “There is no God but Allah, Allah Akbar.”)

Fourteen, concerning the election of Mamdani and hatred for Jews at the end of the age: on Nov. 16, 2025, the outgoing Mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, said:

• It has now become “cool and hip” to be antisemitic around the globe, including in New York City—home to the largest Jewish population outside of Israel—and that a whole generation has been raised on lies picked up via social media.
• New York Jews must not be complacent amid this burst of antisemitism that is likely to increase after Mamdani’s victory.
• People are comfortable with being antisemitic.

Fifteen, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on Nov. 17, 2025, Pres. Trump announced that the U.S. will sell F-35 stealth fighters (perhaps as many as 48) to Saudi Arabia.

Israel is leery, but has not opposed the sale outright.

Israel hopes Washington will condition delivery of the jets on Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords.

Trump seems to think that will happen soon, but Saudi Arabia is still requiring a path to Palestinian statehood in exchange for its agreement.

Congress will have to approve the sale for it to be finalized (and they probably will).

(Update: Following his meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salmon MBS), Trump said Saudi Arabia should get top-of-the-line F-35s like Israel. It was also reported that Trump intends to sell 300 tanks to Saudi Arabia.)

(My opinion: I believe God will eventually bring Israel to the point where Israel will have to depend on Jehovah for help. They are now learning that they can’t depend on the U.S. They will turn from the U.S. to the Antichrist and a false peace, but the Antichrist will betray them, and the false peace will fail. All the nations will be against them; many Jews will get saved during the Tribulation Period, and then the nation of Israel will start depending on Jehovah late in the Tribulation Period.)

(More: MBS agreed to invest $600 billion in the U.S., with the Saudi Crown Prince promising to increase that to $1 trillion.)

Sixteen, concerning the ceasefire in Gaza: on Nov. 20, 2025, it was reported that terrorists in Gaza fired on Israeli troops. This was the third day in a row that the ceasefire has been violated. In every case, Israel fired back.

Seventeen, concerning the Battle of Gog of Magog: Ezek. 38:5-6 lists the nations that will attack Israel in the latter days and latter years (Russia, Iran, Turkey, etc.).

And Ezek. 38:13 gives a list of nations (Sheba, Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish and all the young lions) that will question it but not help Israel.

Sheba and Dedan are cities in Saudi Arabia.

Some prophecy teachers think the merchants of Tarshish is the UK (whose symbol is the standing lion), and the young lions are the nations that came out of the UK (the U.S., Canada, Australia, etc.).

Anyway, on Nov. 19, 2025, Pres. Trump elevated Saudi Arabia to the status of a “major non-NATO ally,” a designation that significantly expands the military relationship between Washington and Riyadh.

Saudi Arabia also signed a number of agreements to strengthen its ties with the U.S.

Have you got this? — The coalition of nations (Russia, Iran, Turkey, etc.) that will attack Israel in the latter years and latter days is forming, and the coalition of nations (Saudi Arabia, UK, U.S., etc.) that will question the attack and not help Israel in the latter years and latter days is forming.

(My question: Should we think the fact that Ezekiel revealed this about 2,800 years ago and got it right is a coincidence?)

(BTW: Don’t be concerned about the nations not helping Israel. God will protect Israel.)

FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).

Finally, are you Rapture Ready?

If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God, who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.
