On Dec. 21, humans can witness something not seen in nearly 800 years. That’s right, during the upcoming winter solstice, Jupiter and Saturn will line up to create what is known as the “Christmas Star” or “Star of Bethlehem “Alignments between these two planets are rather rare, occurring once every 20 years or so, but this conjunction is exceptionally rare because of how close the planets will appear to be to one another,” Patrick Hartigan, astronomer at Rice University, told Forbes. “You’d have to go all the way back to just before dawn on March 4, 1226, to see a...

Another shiny monolith reminiscent of the one featured in “2001: A Space Odyssey” has appeared, this one on top of Pine Mountain in California. Dozen of hikers have trekked up to the top of the mountain in Atascadero, northwest of Los Angeles, to take pictures with the 10-foot shiny monolith, the Atascadero News reported. “The object was welded together at each corner, with rivets attaching the side panels to a likely steel frame inside. The top of the monument did not show any weld marks, and it appears to be hollow at the top, and possibly bottom,” the paper wrote,...

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are using the teachings of Jesus to help train soldiers. And why not? He is the Jewish Messiah according to many prophecies, and his teachings are rooted in the Hebrew scriptures, reflecting the best in Jewish wisdom and faith. Still, reports have been coming out on Israeli media from IDF soldiers complaining about using the New Testament teachings as part of their military preparation. In one training program for battlefield medics, IDF officers are using the parable of the Good Samaritan as an example of caring for those who have been injured, including Jews, Arabs,...

No one on earth knows the day or the hour of the Rapture, but a large number of excellent Bible prophecy teachers believe that those that haven’t accepted Jesus as their Saviour are running out of time if they want to go to heaven before the Tribulation Period. Here are some reasons why they believe that: One, on Nov. 20, 2020, the staff at World Net Daily reported that former U.S. Sec. of State John Kerry and European Commission Pres. Ursula von der Leyen said a Biden win will propel the Great Reset (fundamentally changing America; the end of capitalism,...

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?” The Mad Hatter, Alice in Wonderland From a faux-impeachment to a CCP-spawned pandemic; from Murder Hornets to massive wildfires; from numerous hurricanes to anarchy and riots; from historic Mid-East peace initiatives to one of the craziest election heists ever seen in American history. The year 2020 will definitely go down in the books as one of the most...

I think it is safe to say that 2020, so far, has been a tumultuous year. I think it is also safe to say that many globalists view these tumultuous times as an opportunity to enact vast public policy changes that would upend the current world order. Exhibit A of my premise: The Great Reset. At this point, you may be thinking, “What is the Great Reset?” Well, where do we begin? For starters, let us venture to the origin of the Great Reset: The World Economic Forum (WEF). According to the WEF, “There is an urgent need for global...

I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake. I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father. I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. ( I...

The Bible teaches that we can see the day of our Lord’s return approaching. It seems to me that the peace treaties in the Middle East, the opposition to those treaties by some of Israel’s enemies, the departure from the faith by Pope Francis, the attacks on freedom of religion and free speech, the lawlessness, and the increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters are sure signs that society is closing in on the Tribulation Period. Below are some of the things that have recently taken place. One, concerning peace in the Middle East, on Oct. 21, 2020,...

For dust you are, And to dust you shall return.” Genesis 3:17-19 For nearly six thousand years, man has unsuccessfully been trying to reverse the effects of the divine curse by chasing after spirituality (regaining immortality) and technology (reducing toil) in the hopes of defeating the ultimate enemy, death. Thus, in every generation, certain men would rise up who sought the deeper mysteries of life apart from God. Many were true seekers who were either unsatisfied with the status quo of religion and philosophy, or were unsatisfied with their wealth and looked for thrills money could not buy. Still, evil...

1. ISAIAH 17 We do know that tensions continue to escalate in Syria as Israel continues to bomb Iranian military installations. This does not, however, appear to discourage Iran from building up its military in the area.Israel has been carrying out a campaign-between-the-wars since 2013 to prevent Iran and its proxies, including Hezbollah, from obtaining advanced weapons to use against the Jewish state and from entrenching themselves in Syria.The attacks have three main purposes. They are: 1. To diminish Iranian capabilities being shipped to Hezbollah and other Iranian militias working to open a low-intensity military front threatening Israel’s northern border;...

We now find ourselves in this doctrinal, moral, liturgical, and disciplinary cone of shadow.' But, we are not yet at the end stage of this disastrous development. 'It is not yet the total eclipse that we will see at the end of time, under the reign of the Antichrist,' the prelate adds.'But it is a partial eclipse, which lets us see the luminous crown of the sun encircling the black disk of the moon.' October 23, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – In a speech delivered today via video at the Catholic Identity Conference (CIC) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò analyzes...

Jewish people make up the lowest share of Europe's population for a thousand years a new study has found, as France sees a surge in emigration due to anti-Semitism. The study, published on Wednesday, found 1.3 million people living in continental Europe, the United Kingdom and Turkey who describe themselves as Jewish - 60 percent lower than in 1970 when there were 3.2 million in the same area. Undertaken by the London-based Institute for Jewish Policy Research, the release of the study comes the week after a teacher was beheaded in a Paris suburb allegedly by a suspected Islamist last...

Well, it is not often that I would openly agree with the Chinese Zodiac, but 2020 certainly has been the Year of the Rat. There are certain years that have stood out in human history as being the worst years on record. Certainly, the year of Noah’s Flood (1656 Anno Mundi) should take the record as THE worst year. However, if you were a Creation-denying, godless heathen, you would probably relegate that honor to the year 536AD. In recent history, we have the years 1918 (Spanish Flu outbreak), 1929 (Great Depression), and 2001 (9/11) as coming in the top ten...

Viganò on Pope’s ‘brotherhood’ encyclical: ‘A manifesto in the service of the New World Order’ 'The globalist and ecumenical pacifism of Fratelli Tutti envisions an earthly paradise that lays its foundations on refusing to recognize the Kingship of Christ,' His Excellency said. October 14, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) –  In a devastating appraisal of Pope Francis’ latest encyclical Fratelli Tutti (All Brothers), Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò called out its failure to take abortion seriously.  “This deafening silence concerning the most odious crime in the eyes of God – because it is committed upon an innocent and defenseless child depriving it of life – betrays the twisted...

One, on Oct. 6, 2020, Pres. Trump tweeted that he has authorized the total declassification (no redactions) of any and all documents related to the Russian Collusion investigation and the Clinton e-mail scandal. It is now clear from handwritten notes of some Obama Administration officials that they knew that the DNC and Hillary Clinton financed this hoax. It is my opinion that the U.S. government should sue Hillary and the DNC to recover the cost of their deliberate scam. Two, concerning lawlessness, on Oct. 9, 2020, U.S. Sec. of State Pompeo said his department has Hillary Clinton’s deleted e-mails, and...

Introduction If it weren’t for the length of the title, this article could have been called An Interpretive Scenario of the Most Rapid-Fire, Hectic, and Event-Filled Period in the History of the World! Essentially, everything you are about to read will be climaxing at approximately the midway point of the Tribulation. It truly will be the most rapid-fire, event-filled point in history and, obviously, not for the good. The reader will notice that I reference multiple articles I have written. Trust me; this is not an effort at self-promotion. That thought leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I never...

With Israel on lockdown because of Covid-19 and Pres. Trump in the hospital for testing positive for Covid-19, it seems like most of the media has ignored the Middle East this week. Nevertheless, here are a few items that seem to be related to prophecies in the Bible. One, during former Vice Pres. Joe Biden’s debate with Pres Trump on Sept. 29, 2020, Biden said, “I am the Democratic Party right now.” That is very questionable, but if it is true, Biden is responsible for no mention of God at the Democrat Party Convention and in the Democrat Party Platform....

Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the Lord. For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. ( Jeremiah 2:11-12)The Noahide movement, which is literally attracting hundreds of former Christians, drawing them into Torah observance, and even to the point of renouncing Christ, comes straight out of Rabbinic Judaism. Rabbis are the engine driving this resurgence of the Galatian heresy, and the sin which the book of Hebrews was written to...

The law that entropy increases—the Second Law of Thermodynamics—holds, I think, the supreme position among the laws of Nature. In fact, entropy appears to be the only true natural constant. All things fall apart, and human civilization is not exempt. Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington With all this talk of the New World Order, the New Normal, and the Age of Aquarius, I have become somewhat nostalgic for the old world order. Now, I know that as a Christian, this world is not our home and we are destined for glory upon glory into the eternal realm, but still, looking back...

One, following the signing of the normalization agreement between the UAE and Israel, it was reported that the U.S. will sell F-35 stealth jets to the UAE. Critics contend that this will endanger Israel by reducing its military edge over its enemies. It has been reported that the U.S. has not signed an agreement to sell the jets to the UAE, but there is a plan to sign an agreement with the UAE on Dec. 2, 2020. It is impossible to predict what will be in that agreement, but because the U.S. has signed contracts to sell the F-35 Jets...
