What do a cashless society, cryptocurrency, biometric technology, and microchips mean in light of Bible prophecy? In this compelling message, Dr. David Jeremiah explores how economic trends may point toward the last days and the future world system described in Scripture. Drawing from Revelation 13, 2 Timothy 3, Hebrews, and other key passages, this teaching examines the mark of the beast, the rise of financial control, growing inequality, and the coming influence of the Antichrist and false prophet. Dr. Jeremiah also explains how believers should respond now by counting the cost of discipleship, standing confidently in God’s presence, and learning...

St Paul’s Cathedral has announced a four-year collaboration with Fabric nightclub that will see DJs being brought into the capital’s most lauded pews, designed by Sir Christopher Wren. The four-year project has provoked outrage among groups including traditionalist Christians and historic preservation societies. Descendants of Lord Nelson called it “an insult” to his memory, “deeply depressing” and “an act of self-harm,” while Queen Elizabeth II’s former chaplain called it “a betrayal of all the faithful Christian people who said their prayers there.” But wasn’t St Paul’s always for music? Wren’s domed ceiling was designed specifically for its resonant qualities, and...

Twilight of the Magicians: Aleksandr Dugin and the War Against the West "If the Fourth Political Practice is not able to realize the end of times, then it would be invalid. The end of days should come; but it will not come by itself. This is a task, it is not a certainty. It is active metaphysics. It is a practice.” ALEKSANDR DUGIN, THE FOURTH POLITICAL THEORY [I] The “philosopher” who has done the most to justify Russia’s war against the West is Aleksandr Dugin. He was the first to advocate a Russian invasion of Ukraine. He has also advocated...

United Methodist Church Pastor Adam Hamilton catapulted onto the national stage after his Democratic primary win last month in the race to represent Kansas in the U.S. Senate. Hamilton, who secured the Democratic nomination to run against incumbent Republican Sen. Roger Marshall, says he's reaching out to conservative Evangelical voters as part of his “Leading From the Middle” statewide tour. The founding pastor of Resurrection Church in Leawood, Hamilton has positioned himself as an alternative to Marshall, who also identifies as a Christian and was elected to the Senate in 2020. In a 2014 interview with Jonathan Merritt to promote...

In many parts of China, cash is almost gone. 😳 From street food to taxis, everything runs on QR codes using apps like WeChat and Alipay. Your phone isn’t just a device… it’s your wallet.

After Finland’s Supreme Court found Päivi Räsänen guilty of “crimes against humanity” for sharing an online Christian pamphlet, Britain canceled her travel authorization, escalating concerns about the future of religious liberty in Europe. [UPDATE] The U.K. is a nation that now allows rapists, murderers, and terrorists to pour across its borders and live permanently in taxpayer-funded homes, but there is one thing that can get someone banned from even setting foot on British soil: “insulting” homosexuals. That’s a lesson that Päivi Räsänen, a member of Finland’s Parliament, recently learned when the U.K. denied her travel visa application.

Your plastic driver's license is getting a digital upgrade. Twenty states and Puerto Rico now offer some kind of digital driver’s license. The technology allows you to share a minimum level of information to prove identity by tapping your phone on a reader or scanning a QR code . Some states allow digital IDs and drivers licenses to be added directly into your mobile wallet. Others offer a state-backed mobile app. But privacy experts have concerns around digital security and government data collection, warning that frictionless identification could lead to things like increased surveillance pricing. PBS News’ Tim McPhillips spoke...

China is so CASHLESS that even beggars use WeChat QR code when they beg for money.

A couple was left bewildered after they discovered how some shops in China are taking payment.

More than two decades ago, in 2004, Harvard professor Samuel Huntington warned in his book “Who Are We?” that America was facing a crisis of identity. He argued that a nation cannot remain united without a common culture, a common history, and a common understanding of itself. Remove those foundations, and a society inevitably fragments into competing tribes, interests, and identities.Huntington pointed to the Anglo-Protestant Creed as the core of America’s unifying identity. He argued that America’s political institutions and civic ideals did not arise in a vacuum but were rooted in a culture shaped by Protestant Christianity. If Huntington...

"Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God..." - 2 Peter 3:11-12 - σπεύδοντας instead of hastening (hurry) can be translated also to desire earnestly. It comes from the heart's desire that Jesus Christ our redeemer come soon and free us from this body of death, to complete His work in us. Hastening (Greek speudo “hurry [by extra effort]”) The coming of the day of God suggests that, by living holy lives, Christians can actually affect...

For years, China has built what many observers have described as the most extensive surveillance network in human history. Now, thanks to rapid advances in artificial intelligence, that network is evolving into something far more powerful--and far more concerning. According to recent reporting from the Financial Times, Chinese authorities are upgrading their already vast surveillance infrastructure with advanced AI systems capable of analyzing behavior, identifying individuals, predicting crowd activity, and even anticipating potential social unrest before it occurs. This is no longer simply about cameras watching street corners. It is about creating a real-time digital map of an entire society....

We don't want anything like this in the UK

Investigative questions about UFOs, aliens, and the supernatural are no longer staying on the fringes. In this fascinating conversation, Billy Hallowell sits down with pastor and broadcaster Joseph Z to unpack claims surrounding a reported closed-door meeting involving pastors, military-connected figures, and alarming discussions about so-called “alien disclosure.” From alleged government technology and mysterious “orbs” to theological debates over demons, Nephilim, and spiritual deception, this interview dives deep into one of the most talked-about topics in both faith and culture right now.

There are moments in a nation's history when a law reveals far more than legal intent. It exposes the moral direction of a country. This week may prove to be one of those moments for Canada. The passage of Bill C-9 through the House of Commons is not just another legislative development buried in the churn of parliamentary procedure. It is a flashing warning sign. For many Christians across Canada, it feels like something deeper is being put on trial -- not merely "hate," as the bill is framed, but biblical conviction itself. Canadian MPs passed Bill C-9, the so-called...
