The Anglo-Japanese Alliance of 1902 had bound the two island empires together against a common rival, but it was the German U-boat war that finally brought the Imperial Japanese Navy to the Mediterranean. As Royal Navy escorts were stretched to breaking point, Britain turned to its ally in the East. Eight Japanese destroyers, commanded by Admiral Soto Kozo, sailed for Malta -- and over the months that followed, they escorted nearly eight hundred troopships through submarine-infested waters and clashed with enemy submarines on more than thirty occasions. Why Did Japan Send Its Navy To British Malta In 1917? | 13:33...

My dear friends, as we were taking communion many years ago, 1 Corinthians 11:25-26 was shared, and as it was shared, the end part of that Bible verse rang out to me as never before! Though I had known that we were to take communion to "proclaim the Lord's death until He comes", the Holy Spirit showed me the other side of the coin, which I had never seen before until that night! The Holy Spirit spoke to my heart saying, "until your Jesus comes, until you (David) will be changed FOREVERMORE (John 14:6, 1 Cor. 15:51-57, Phil. 3:21, 1...

In ETERNITY, the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God is without compromise and saturates its ETERNAL state. When a man or woman dies in an unregenerate state, they do not stop transgressing against the RIGHTEOUS laws and absolutes of Almighty God. They FOREVER remain in an unregenerate fallen lawless state. They must be put in a place which consumes their godless and lawless thoughts, which transgress continually the ETERNAL absolutes and laws of FOREVER (Rom. 7:7-24, 25, Rev. 22:8). The purifying holiness of Almighty God's RIGHTEOUS fire FOREVER consumes the lawless imaginations and thoughts that arise against Almighty God's ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS. Thus...

The disconnect between American blacks and Africa is profound, and it stunts their cultural development. A powerful strand of American black culture romanticizes Africa as an ancestral homeland, even though Africans themselves played an indispensable role in selling other Africans into slavery. At the same time, many African immigrants look with disdain on the ghetto culture that developed in parts of black America during the second half of the 20th century. And then there is the strangest irony of all: While some Africans reject that culture, others eagerly imitate it. There’s a lot to unpack here. The Atlantic slave trade...

NEW YORK CITY, NY — Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the installation of a Muslim foot-washing station at the base of the 9/11 Memorial in preparation for marking the 25th anniversary of the Islamic terrorist attacks. Mamdani stated that the addition was long overdue, as Muslims repeatedly lodged complaints about not feeling properly accommodated at the site where thousands perished. "So far, the 9/11 Memorial has been a total failure, with systemic exclusion built into its very bricks," said Mamdani. "How can you celebrate — I mean, solemnly observe — 9/11 properly without humbly obliging the religion that propagated these...
