Sweden ready to contribute to NATO presence in the Arctic
NATO will increase its involvement in the Arctic and is launching Operation Arctic Sentry. Sweden is ready to contribute, says Defense Minister Pål Jonson (M). However, Arctic Sentry does not mean that the alliance will immediately increase its military presence in the Arctic.

Europe has taken over Ukraine support after US withdrawal in 2025
Europe was almost alone in providing military, financial and humanitarian support to Ukraine last year after the US withdrawal, according to a report from the German research center, the Kiel Institute. When the US almost completely cut off aid to Ukraine in 2025, Europe took over and filled almost the entire void that arose, the report shows. It compares aid in 2025 with the annual average for 2022–2024: the report Military support from Europe increased by 67%, and financial and humanitarian support increased by 59%.

US Religious Liberty Commission cuts member who asserted ‘Catholics don’t embrace Zionism’ & vowed not to ‘bend the knee’ to Israel 
A member of the White House Religious Liberty Commission was dismissed after attacking several witnesses at a recent hearing over their support for Israel and the assertion that Candace Owens, who is widely seen as one of the world’s most prominent anti-Israel activists, isn’t an antisemite.

The next big war will be about religion
The next major conflict in the Middle East will be driven by ideology, not territory. Global conflicts have increasingly been shaped less by disputes over land and more by competing belief systems, religious values, and narratives. Current developments in the Middle East, the United States, and Iran suggest that the next major international confrontation may be defined not primarily by land or oil, but by ideology. The global warfare paradigm is changing before our eyes.

Epstein’s Island And The Gateway To The Psychology Of Evil
The theory which I have held for two decades is that the globalists are first and foremost an occult network of organized psychopaths. Meaning, they seek out people with psychopathic traits (latent or otherwise) in order to recruit and grow their numbers. The common assumption in the general public is that psychopaths are supposed to operate in isolation; that they do not work together because they are too self absorbed to organize. History shows us that this is simply not so. From the Mafia, to violent drug cartels, to religious cults, to authoritarian governments, we have seen psychopaths congregate together and cooperate in the worst moments of our timeline. It’s a far reaching conspiracy which the recent release of the Epstein Files seems to support. To be clear, I think the information presented so far in the files barely scratches the surface of the evil we are dealing with.
Jeffery Epstein was not the top of the pyramid. He was also not some self serving flim-flam man selling sex and depravity just to gain access to the halls of power. Rather, Epstein was a middle-man

After meeting Netanyahu, Trump ‘insists’ on negotiating Iran deal
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss negotiations with Iran was inconclusive and that the United States would continue talking with the Islamic Republic. “There was nothing definitive reached other than I insisted that negotiations with Iran continue to see whether or not a deal can be consummated,” Trump wrote

Shabak: Another Guardian of the Walls operation is ‘only a matter of time’
A renewed rocket threat from Gaza is worrying Israeli security officials. The head of Israel’s internal security service, the Shin Bet, delivered a stark warning this week, saying that another large‑scale confrontation similar to Operation Guardian of the Walls is “only a matter of time.” His remarks come nearly five years after the May 10–21, 2021, conflict, underscoring how little the strategic landscape has shifted since that round of fighting. Operation Guardian of the Walls, which unfolded over 11 intense days in May 2021, saw Hamas and Islamic Jihad fire more than 4,000 rockets toward Israeli cities.

Trump, Netanyahu to discuss mass migration from Gaza
Amid Hamas’ ongoing refusal to disarm, president’s proposal to facilitate mass migration out of the Gaza Strip is reportedly back on the table and will be one of the subjects discussed during his meeting with Netanyahu. President Donald Trump’s February 2025 proposal for mass migration of Arabs out of the Gaza Strip is reportedly back on the table, as the implementation of the second phase of the Gaza peace plan appears to have hit an impasse.

American colleges and universities received more than $1.1 billion from Qatar and over $285 million from Saudi Arabia in 2025, according to new data that the U.S. Education Department released on Wednesday. It displays that data in an online portal, which previously went up to the beginning of 2025 and now includes information about $5.2 billion more in foreign funding. Cornell University was the top recipient of Qatari funding, receiving $2.3 billion, or nearly 30% of all of the Gulf states funding to U.S. schools.

After Netanyahu-Trump meeting: Another aircraft carrier to be sent to Middle East
The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday evening that the United States has ordered the deployment of an additional aircraft carrier, the USS George H.W. Bush, which will join the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Middle East. This move is part of preparations for a possible strike on Iran if negotiations with Tehran fail. The report comes after President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he is considering sending additional military forces to the region.

ISA warns of increasing cyber attacks against Israeli officials
The ISA and the National Cyber Directorate announced on Wednesday that they thwarted hundreds of cyberattack attempts over the past year carried out by Iranian intelligence operatives. According to the agencies, the attacks targeted senior government and defense officials, academics, journalists, and employees in the defense industry. A joint statement said a marked escalation in hostile cyber activity was identified beginning with Operation Rising Lion. The purpose of the attacks was to gather personal and professional information to support terrorism, espionage, and influence operations.

France demands Francesca Albanese resign after antisemitic remarks at Al Jazeera Forum
France is demanding the resignation of UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese following her “outrageous and reprehensible remarks” made during the Saturday Al Jazeera Forum, according to a Wednesday report from French newspaper Le Monde. According to Le Monde, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot condemned Albanese’s remarks during a Sunday parliament meeting. Her comments, Barrot said, “target not the Israeli government, whose policies can be criticized, but Israel as a people and as a nation, which is absolutely unacceptable.”

Gaza Peace Plan Stalls Amid Reports of US Allowing Hamas to Keep Some Arms, Israel Readying New Offensive
If the Palestinian terrorist group does not give up its weapons, Israel has vowed not to withdraw troops from Gaza or approve any rebuilding efforts, effectively stalling the ceasefire agreement. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) currently occupy 53 percent of the Strip, with most of the Palestinian population living in the remaining portion of the enclave under Hamas control. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has insisted the country will not accept anything less than the full demilitarization of Gaza, pledging to prevent Hamas from carrying out another attack like its Oct. 7, 2023, invasion of and massacre across southern Israel.

The Great Shapeshifter: Though Jew-Hatred Has Mutated Throughout History, Its Aim Has Always Been To Undermine God
I have often heard evangelicals insist that antisemitism is more than prejudice—that it is spiritual warfare, a satanic assault on God’s Chosen People. I agree. But to confront the rising tide of Jew-hatred—which now spreads far beyond progressive leftist politics, infecting conservative spaces and even Christian communities—we must determine what Satan is trying to accomplish.

Local Police Are Finally Arresting Anti-ICE Agitators In Minnesota
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told lawmakers during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing on Tuesday that local police arrested 54 anti-ICE protesters overnight, a development that would have been almost unthinkable just a few weeks ago. During his testimony, Lyons described a noticeable shift on the ground as immigration enforcement operations continue in the city.

Trump Pushes To End Senate ‘Blue Slips’ As GOP Confirms Judges At Record Pace
In just the past week, the Senate confirmed half a dozen of Trump’s judicial nominees, continuing a streak that’s left Democrats visibly frustrated. Since the start of Trump’s second term, 33 judges have sailed through confirmation — already eclipsing his entire first-term total. By comparison, during Trump’s first year in office, the Senate confirmed 19 Article III judges, including Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch. While Senate Republicans are moving fast and confirming judges at a blistering pace, there are mounting calls to scrap one of the Senate’s oldest customs — the “blue slip.”

Trump Admin Can End Protected Status For Nationals Of 3 More Countries: Appeals Court
It was a unanimous decision by a three-judge panel, ruling to temporarily lift a previous federal judge’s ruling that blocked the termination of the status for immigrants of the three countries and accused the federal government of possibly being racially motivated in its actions. There are nearly 89,000 immigrants from Nepal, Honduras, and Nicaragua who have been granted temporary status to live in the United States. “TPS was never designed to be permanent, yet previous administrations have used it as a de facto amnesty program for decades,”

While you are watching your TV, your TV is watching you
According to Yuval Noah Harari, the “covid crisis” was a watershed moment in terms of surveillance and personal data. During a panel discussion at the 2020 Athens Democracy Forum, Harari was asked what were his fears and concerns about digital surveillance. He said televisions not only know what we’re watching but could also know how we feel while watching it.

Europe Edges Closer to Digital Euro: New Backing from EU Parliament
On Tuesday, Feb 10, European Parliament moved the digital euro a step closer to reality, backing amendments that support a push by European Central Bank for a central bank digital currency intended to work online and offline. This doesn’t mean the new currency is in place yet, but it’s another unmistakable signal that the project is gaining momentum after years of discussion.

Growing Number of US States Propose Eliminating Property Taxes
Multiple states are considering proposals to limit and ultimately abolish property taxes, reflecting greater support for property rights among landowners and, at least in rhetoric,  state leaders. Why Eliminate Property Taxes? In our article “Restore State Government,” we noted why property taxes are incompatible with the American form of government.

Issaquah’s middle school protest also devolved into violence and property destruction.

End-of-Days Scenarios Part 4 :: By Terry James

Once again, this series was initially posted in 2007. I believe developments since show that it is still relevant today. 

We will have a look at how the end-time stage is set for the scenarios we will explore.

America is at the top of the food chain, so far as nations of the earth are concerned. It is the richest, most materially blessed nation-state ever to exist. Its achievements in almost every facet of human endeavor are without peer in the annals of the ages.

The European Union is developing rapidly into a colossus that will challenge the US for the title of world champ, so far as superpowers are concerned. But Europe lacks one ingredient in order to achieve America’s superpower status, no matter how economically strong the EU becomes. That one missing element is the military might—particularly the high-tech military complex—firmly entrenched and fortified by (likely) the most horrific thermonuclear capability and the most sophisticated means to deliver total devastation to any other nation foolish enough to initiate such conflagration.

Russia is again beginning to show signs of beefing up for superpower military status. It, too, however, lags far behind in high-tech matters—things that prevent it from achieving the degree of hegemony over parts of the world formerly under the dictatorial eyes of the USSR. The Russian economy continues to be in shambles, and achieving the high-tech needed is thus impeded.

China is biding its time, building a strong economic base for one purpose: to attain a level of fiscal power that can buy and/or develop the high-tech sophistication essential to superpower status. The Chinese raw manpower capabilities unquestionably present potentially the greatest threat, in terms of sheer numbers, of any military force in human history.

All other nations are bit players in the scenarios we will examine. But, combined, they present massive—even insurmountable—problems for the prophesied frightening world of the perhaps not-too-distant future.

Israel is smack in the center of all this global chemistry. That nation will be–according to the very Word of the Creator of all things—the catalyst that will galvanize earth-dwellers into rebellion against Him, thus bringing all armies of the world to Armageddon. Here is what the One who knows the end from the beginning has to say about Israel and all other nations at the time of the end of days:

“And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it” (Zechariah 12:3).

So, with the world stage set as far as geopolitical matters are concerned, let’s begin to try to look into the future, again with the crucial caveat that this is all speculation, though well-studied and prayed over by yours truly. Daniel the prophet gave the end-time wrap-up in one concise prophetic passage:

“And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate” (Daniel 9:27).

Will the consummation as described in that passage begin to rumble upon this judgment-bound earth something like this? Business will be going along at a dynamic clip despite occasional blips, flare-ups, and glitches. Jesus tells us that in Luke 17:26–29. The rich will be getting richer, and the poor will be going further into poverty–despite the socialists-elite’s promises to the contrary. Terrorism will be pervasive, and increasingly so, just as Paul the apostle stated when he said men and seducers would grow worse and worse, and just as Jesus prophesied when He said things would be just as they were like in Noah’s day, a time when violence filled the whole world (Genesis 6:11, 13).

The Arab Islamic states, wanting—as they have for millennia—to erase the Jews from the earth, will be looking for ways to penetrate Israel’s protective shell, fearful of direct assault because of Israel’s lethal nuclear arsenal. The world of diplomats—the so-called international community—will, led by the American State Department, be looking for a way to placate the hostile Islamics. Israel’s territory, as always, will be the offering on the altar of Mideast peacemaking. This, while giving Israel little or no say in the offering.

Every major Mideast terrorist organization, with headquarters in Damascus, Syria, will beat the drums of hatred against Israel as never before. Concern that Israel will take preemptive action will trouble the Jim Bakers of the times in this scenario. Even some who call themselves evangelical Christians will join with other religious entities to point a finger at Israel as the obstinate party in the growing threat to regional, maybe even world, peace.

Well, better stop there for now. If the Rapture doesn’t occur between now and next week, I can promise it will occur then–in this scenario, at least.
