Replacement theology teaches that the church has replaced Israel in God’s prophetic and redemptive plan. If this theology is correct, the implications are massive: God would be a liar God’s Word would be untrue Israel would not be in God’s plans God’s love would not be unconditional These statements beg for biblical explanation. God Is Not A Liar Why would God be a liar if replacement theology is correct? Genesis 12:1-3 records God’s covenant with Abraham. God reiterated this covenant with Abraham in Gen. 13:14-18, 15:4-5, 17:1-22. God reminded Abraham’s descendants of this unconditional promise (Gen. 35:10-12; 1 Chron. 16:15-18)....

A coalition of 10 campaign groups is calling on the Bank of England to do more to tackle the climate crisis, a decade after the then governor Mark Carney warned of the “tragedy of the horizon”. Carney, now prime minister of Canada, argued in a speech at Lloyd’s of London in September 2015 that the short time-horizons of politicians and policymakers made it difficult to tackle the climate emergency, despite the threat it posed to the global financial system. Carney said: “The combination of the weight of scientific evidence and the dynamics of the financial system suggest that, in the...

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that he says will allow TikTok to continue operating in the United States in a way that meets national security concerns laid out by the law. President Joe Biden signed legislation last year calling for China’s ByteDance to sell TikTok’s assets to an American company by early this year or face a ban, but Trump has repeatedly signed orders that have allowed TikTok to keep operating in the U.S. as his administration tries to reach an agreement for the sale of the company. Much is still unknown about the actual deal in...

UNITED NATIONS — Europe alone is not responsible for helping Ukraine bring an end to its war with Russia, EU top diplomat Kaja Kallas warned Thursday. That is particularly true when considering President Donald Trump’s pledge to halt the fighting, she said in an interview on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly. “He was the one who promised to stop the killing,” Kallas said. “So it can’t be on us.” Her comments come as Ukraine and its allies try to divine the meaning of Trump’s sudden about-face on the war between Kyiv and Moscow. In a Truth Social post...

President Donald Trump hosted Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the White House to discuss trade and military matters. The Thursday meeting was Erdogan’s first visit to the White House in roughly six years. It began with President Trump suggesting that the United States could lift sanctions on Turkey and allow it to purchase F-35 jets, provided Ankara stops purchasing Russian oil. “He needs certain things, and we need certain things, and we’re going to come to a conclusion. You’ll know by the end of the day,” Trump stated of Erdogan. “The best thing he could do is not buy...

Lockheed Martin is using AI to evolve the F-35 jet, integrating drones into its system to boost capability and relevance. But after missing out on big contracts due to increased competition and tariffs, can Lockheed pivot to stay relevant? WSJ visited Lockheed Martin’s facilities in Fort Worth, Texas, to get a closer look at the jets and their new capabilities.

Halloween could come early this year. The Democrats have named their price to avoid a government shutdown come October – an additional $350 billion for healthcare over the next decade. Critics say a big chunk of that money may go to ghosts. At issue are the generous subsidies the Biden administration created for Affordable Care Act policies, sweeteners that are slated to expire in December. Making healthcare essentially free for millions of Americans, those policies have skyrocketed enrollment in Obamacare plans. But a recent study found they have also sparked a curious phenomenon: an estimated 12 million enrollees “without a...

President Trump will not allow Israel to impose sovereignty over the biblical heartland of Israel. It’s not the West Bank - it’s Judea and Samaria. It’s where Abraham Isaac and Jacob and the stories of most of the Old Testament took place. I am not surprised! The pressure from Saudi Arabia Turkey Qatar Egypt France UK and Canada was too much for him.

Senior Department of Justice officials are pushing to charge former national security adviser John Bolton this week, sources told CNN on Thursday. Bolton was put under a federal investigation in August for allegedly sending "highly sensitive" classified documents to his wife and daughter via a private email server while serving during the first Trump administration, according to law enforcement sources. For now, some federal prosecutors believe they might have a stronger case against Bolton if they wait until later this year, rather than bringing charges immediately. The FBI raided Bolton's Bethesda, Maryland, home and his Washington, D.C., office last month...

Russia and China asked the United Nations Security Council to vote on Friday on a draft resolution to delay by six months the reimposition of sanctions on Iran, diplomats said. All U.N. sanctions on Iran are due to be reimposed at 8 p.m. EDT on Friday (0000 GMT on Saturday) after Britain, France and Germany triggered a 30-day process accusing Tehran of violating a 2015 deal with world powers aimed at preventing it from developing a nuclear weapon.

Months before a gunman opened fire on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas, Texas, this week, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) called the agency “a terrorist force” and accused agents of being involved in kidnapping. On Wednesday morning, a gunman killed one ICE detainee and injured several others after opening fire on ICE’s Dallas facility. The gunman, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, had an anti-ICE “ideological motive” and had even written “ANTI ICE” on one of his shell casings. In July, Jayapal, an influential member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, called ICE “a terrorist force,” to...
