Treasury Secretary Says Order On Citizenship Proof For Banking Is ‘In Process’
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Monday confirmed that an executive order mandating banks to collect citizenship information on customers is underway. “It’s in process. And I don’t think it’s unreasonable, because, why don’t we have information on who’s in our banking system?” he told Semafor in an April 13 interview, responding to whether the Trump administration was working on the banking order. “I have a place in the UK; they want to know who lives in every apartment—and how do we know that it’s not part of a foreign terrorist organization?” he added.

Pope removes red shoes, enters mosque, marking new stage in Esav’s submission to Ishmael in Gog and Magog war
Pope Leo’s brief but symbolically loaded visit to Istanbul’s Blue Mosque has ignited intense commentary far beyond the confines of interfaith diplomacy. As the first US-born pontiff stepped barefoot into one of Islam’s most iconic sacred spaces, observers noted every detail of the carefully choreographed encounter, from the removal of his distinctive red papal shoes to his quiet tour alongside senior Turkish religious officials. While the Vatican framed the visit as an exercise in “reflection and attentive listening,” others have interpreted the imagery in far more charged terms, viewing the scene as a powerful moment in the evolving relationship between Esav, represented by Catholicism, and Ishmael, represented by Islam. This alliance is described in esoteric Jewish sources as a precursor to the pre-Messiah Gog and Magog War against Israel.

The Larger Agenda Behind The Promotion Of Lawlessness In America
Over the past few months, many of you have watched disturbing footage of anti-ICE protests across the country. We have seen mobs interfering with lawful arrests, blocking federal vehicles, striking officers, and, in some cases, attempting to use vehicles as weapons. We have also heard repeated claims that ICE is arresting U.S. citizens. That claim is false. That question forces us to look deeper. This is not merely politics. There is a geopolitical and spiritual dimension driving what we are witnessing.

State of the Bible Report Highlights Growing Biblical Illiteracy Among Americans
The vast majority of Americans suffer from critical biblical illiteracy, according to the American Bible Society’s 2026 State of the Bible (SOTB) report. Only 17% of Americans told pollsters that they have read the entire Bible, while 48% claim to have read “about half” or more. Sadly, this widespread Bible ignorance is largely due to a lack of trying. The size and complexity of Scripture may intimidate people from ever cracking the cover. Yet biblical muscles, like physical muscles, are best developed through small amounts of exercise every day.

How one pro-Israel comment led to ideological persecution by a Canadian university 
Criticism of an organization designated as a terrorist group by the Canadian gov’t was unacceptable at the University of Guelph-Humber. The persecution of Paul Finlayson proves it. He dared to criticize Hamas and said he stood with Israel, and the weight of the small, relatively unknown university collapsed on him; it was a sin they deemed unforgivable.

Former Pfizer exec estimates 20,000 to 60,000 deaths from COVID shot in Germany
A former Pfizer executive has said that an estimated 20,000 to 60,000 people in Germany died from the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID shots. It’s generally assumed that only between 1 to 10% of actual vaccine side effects are reported. So, one can multiply the number of reported cases by a factor of between 10 and 100.

The Jesus Haters 2026 :: By Terry James

Having just celebrated Easter, the thought that hatred for Jesus Christ is what put Him on the cross at Calvary is foremost in my mind.

Of course, it was the sin of humanity that brought Jesus to that grotesque implement of torture as the lamb slain from the foundation of the world. God sent His Only Son into this fallen world to die for sinful humankind so that redemption is now possible for all who are lost (separated from God the Father).

But the steps of achieving Christ’s purpose in this regard at the time of the crucifixion were steeped in satanic hatred for Jesus. The Judaizers of that moment sought to get rid of this man who was claimed to be the very Messiah for whom Israel had been longing. He was, they feared, usurping their great power over the people of Israel. They hated Him and colluded even with the hated Roman government to put Jesus to death.

Thankfully, the hatred was and continues to be totally under the control of Heaven. Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection accomplished the salvation of all who will accept God’s grace-gift sacrifice for redemption from sin and separation from God.

Hatred for Jesus Christ in the year 2026 is still on the scene. That hatred is on the rise, as a matter of fact. The condition of anti-God, anti-Christian activity is in every direction while this fallen planet staggers toward God’s judgment and wrath.

This hatred shouldn’t surprise or confuse those who are directed by God the Holy Spirit to be alert to the nearness of Christ’s return to make all things right, as they were before the Fall in Eden.

Jesus Himself told His immediate disciples and apostles precisely how things would be during the Age of Grace that would follow His finishing of the redemption process on that old, rugged cross.

Here is what He told them–and us, believers who would be born again through the years:

“These things I command you, that ye love one another. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me” (John 15:17-21).

The nations of the world are increasingly declaring their hatred for Jesus Christ—not necessarily in that stark term of expression, but in ways that can’t be missed. One news item that displays the hatred is shown in the following:

The Canadian Liberal government has just rammed through a bill that effectively declares war on the Bible and anyone bold enough to quote it in public.

Canada’s House of Commons passed Bill C-9, the so-called “Combating Hate Act,” in a 186-137 vote Wednesday night.

Liberals and the Bloc voted in lockstep to strip away long-standing protections for religious speech under the Criminal Code. Conservatives, the NDP, and the Greens opposed it. The bill now heads to the Senate.

The bill expands Canada’s hate speech laws and introduces new criminal penalties for what the government defines as the “willful promotion of hatred” against protected groups.…

Some warn that teachings rooted in religious texts, including the Bible, could face increased legal scrutiny if interpreted as promoting “hatred” under the law’s expanded definitions.…

In comments sent to LifeSiteNews, Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) blasted the passage of Bill C-9 and called upon “Christians and pro-life advocates to prepare for increasing hostility.”

“With the passage of Bill C-9 in the House, Christians and pro-life advocates will almost certainly face an entirely new level of hostility, as the door swings open to actual persecution under a cloak of supposed legality,” said CLC’s Campaigns Manager David Cooke, who is also a Christian pastor.

Cooke said the Bill C-9 was framed as a law going after “hate,” but, in reality, it is a bill that religious leaders from various faith communities “say, could lead to hate-related charges against believers – empowers ideologically-driven police officers and judges to target, for the first time, the very word of God on matters of life, family, and faith.” (Canadian Liberals Pass ‘Anti-Christian’ Bill That Would CRIMINALIZE Quoting Parts of the Bible in Public | The Gateway Pundit, March 31, 2026)

Not to be outdone by the Jesus haters in Canada, here in America, a nation founded within Judeo-Christian precepts, the following proves such hatred is present and on the rise:

The Chicago Bulls have waived guard Jaden Ivey following videos he posted where his rant about religion and other topics led to him calling out the NBA for celebrating Pride Month.

The Bulls announced the move on Monday, saying it was due to conduct detrimental to the team.

Ivey’s video calling out the league was posted on Monday morning, as he said it was “unrighteousness” that the NBA would celebrate Pride Month.

Ivey has been posting similar videos with rants in recent weeks, while the 24-year-old has noted in the past he deals with depression.

“The world can proclaim LGBTQ, right?” Ivey said in his latest video. “They proclaim Pride Month and the NBA. They proclaim it. They show it to the world. They say, ‘Come join us for Pride Month to celebrate unrighteousness.’ They proclaim it. They proclaim it on the billboards. They proclaim in the streets. Unrighteousness. So, how is it that one can’t speak righteousness? Who are they to say that this man is crazy?” (Bulls waive Jaden Ivey over anti-LGBTQ rant, citing conduct detrimental to team, Fox News, Scott Thompson Fox Digital News reporter)

Listening to a report on Fox News announcing the removal of Jaden Ivey from the Chicago Bulls, I heard the player give his testimony of how Jesus Christ had completely changed his life and had made him see the wickedness that is against God’s Word. The LGBTQ, etc., matter was just one of the evils he pointed out on that program.

For his stance in lifting the name of Jesus Christ, he has been called “crazy,” a “religious nut,” and other invectives.

Fox, as seen in the excerpts above, called Jaden Ivey’s Christian values as expressed “rants,” thus showing the news source’s bias—edging toward hatred, in my view—of all things held as righteous in God’s holy eyes.

This hatred for Jesus is swiftly moving the world of lost people down that broad way to forever separation from God, who loves them and has moved Heaven and Hell—has sent His Only Son—to bring them into His eternal family.

The hatred for Jesus that’s growing worldwide shows precisely, I think, where this generation of humankind is on God’s prophetic timeline.

The call to His family to meet Jesus in the clouds of Glory is on the very cusp of taking place. You will want to be part of that rescue from out of this judgment-bound planet. Here is how to accept Jesus at this very moment:

“That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10).
