In his day, Christ rebuked both the people and the religious leaders for having a total lack of discernment. “The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would show them a sign from heaven. He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather today: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?” Mt....

New polling last weekend put Marine Le Pen in a very favorable position to win the Presidential Election next spring. The National Rally (RN) candidate well ahead in a first round of voting at 35-38 percent of the vote. Her closet rival leftist Jean-Luc Melenchon of La France Insoumise (LFI) at 16-17 percent. If the two moved into a second-round Marine Le Pen would easily defeat Mr. Melenchon 64-36 percent... New polling out this weekend done for BFM-TV confirming the strength of Marine Le Pen. She beats all potential second round opponents including the best-positioned centrist Edouard Philippe... Seven presidential...

At the risk of sounding presumptuous, I often feel I should start my articles with a warning. I should clarify that I am not a prophecy buff, or a casual observer of prophetic events. I should also warn that I’m not a prophecy expert, although there are good ones who’ve spent many years studying eschatological doctrines. I am a prophet. I am not a self-appointed or self-absorbed prophet. I didn’t dream myself into this place. I was called, and I am answering. Doubt, objections and arguments to the contrary are noted, but they will change nothing. “Any resemblance to actual...

The most destructive power in the world may not be nuclear power, chemical warfare, biological weapons, or any modern invention of military science. Such weapons are terrifying because they can destroy cities, poison nations, and leave generations wounded. Yet hatred has done something even more widespread: it has entered homes, governments, religions, schools, courts, streets, churches, and nations. It does not need a missile silo, a laboratory, or a battlefield. It only needs a willing heart. A bomb may explode once, but hatred keeps reproducing itself. It passes from father to son, from teacher to student, from preacher to hearer,...

Ah, there’s the question. And the simplest, straightest answer is the most obvious. Since everything in life is the outcome of choices for individuals’ great nations, for average nations, and for falling nations, the answer is always yes, based on the choices her people make. But we must keep in mind that making no choice at all turns out to be a choice, considering the recent outcome in New York City and in the state of Maine. It’d be great if we could laugh when we see that the people in New York City, who were too lazy to get...

A Prelude as a Backdrop to this film: The film begins in June of 1787, in Independence Hall in Philadelphia. It has been over a decade since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, which spurned a War of Revolution against England, which predominantly lasted for lasting 8 years. George Washington and his Continental Army’s decisive victories led to a number of considerable defeats for the British on all fronts, forcing the King of England to face the end of his sovereign control over the 13 American colonies. In the meantime, the United States is trying to establish an effective...

When Jesus explained to His disciples how He was the ONLY way to God, He knew the impossibility of living by way of the Spirit on their own. And so, He promised to send them a helper. Jesus told His disciples, “[T]he Helper, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and remind you of all that I said to you (John 14:26).” Forty days after the resurrection and before He left the earth, Jesus reminded His disciples, “[Y]ou will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you...

Anonymity and obscurity are two of the most powerful elements in my prophetic ministry. Being “nobody” helps keep the heart of my message centered where it belongs—on Jesus Christ and His soon return. I can hardly save anyone, but Jesus Christ has saved the souls of untold millions across the globe. One of my favorite people in the modern world is Elon Musk. I’d love to spend some time talking with him. I often talk with Grok, one of his creations, about him, and those conversations are always interesting. But when I look at the great and wonderful things he’s...

No one believes Satan has prophets, but he does, this is what they are telling us to believe, but worst of all, this is exactly what we are doing. When the prophet Micah began preaching to Israel about their political, social, and economic decline, they accused him of blasphemy, and there are those who would be more than glad to have put him to death. The Golden Age of Israel was at its peak during Micah’s time, and to say that it was going to end suddenly, completely, to the people it sounded like deep blasphemy. They wouldn’t hear of...

In 1787, Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to John Adams’s Son-in-law, wrote, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” This was not, by any means, just a cavalier comment. Thomas Jefferson, along with George Washington, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, and others, as stoic observers of history, experienced firsthand the reality, depth and dimension behind the need to petition a King, the need to confront his empire, and the cost of confronting that empire for independence and freedom.

“But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.” 1 John 2:11 ESV All over the world, it is accepted that murder is the greatest crime or sin that one person can do against another. But, in fact, hatred is the worst crime because murder is born out of hatred. It is never the other way around. “We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death....
