A Light Shining In A Dark Place: Why Anticipation Of The Rapture Changes Our Understanding Of World Events
Since I was ten years old, a very long time ago, I have believed in a pre-Tribulation Rapture. Even though I didn’t grasp its significance and had much to learn about it, I sensed that it aligned with the words of Scripture. Even after my seminary studies solidified this conviction, it took a long time for me to fully appreciate all that makes our blessed hope so wonderful. Our adversary has a very different attitude toward it. Over the past few decades, he has greatly intensified his attacks on our anticipation of meeting Jesus in the air to the point where the word “rapture” has become taboo in many churches,
Scripture illuminates what’s happening in our world as nothing else can. It explains why Satan has ratcheted up his vehement and deadly opposition to the Jewish people.
This year’s Hajj held in scorching heat as temperatures reach 44 degrees Celsius (111 F) in Mecca.
Over 1.5 million people have joined this year’s Hajj, despite the war in Iran causing unrest in the Middle East. More pilgrims have traveled from abroad this year than last year, according to Saudi officials. More than 30,000 Iranians have made it there, about a third of the 86,000 originally expected. The war is one explanation for the decrease, writes Iran’s state news agency IRNA. In recent days, temperatures have reached 44 degrees Celsius (111 F) in Mecca,

Metallic nanoparticles in vaccines can be activated by frequencies, and then they could say there is an Ebola outbreak
In 2025, Professor Dolores Cahill warned about metallic nanoparticles in vaccines that can be activated by radiation. She had been aware of this since 2001, when she worked in a biosafety laboratory and accessed information about these nanoparticles. And these nanoparticles had been present in vaccines for years before covid. In 2017, an Italian professor demonstrated that 39 vaccines for babies, adults and one for cats contained titanium, steel and barium nanoparticles. “They can modulate the frequency [to activate these nanoparticles] … [to cause] nosebleeds …[and] say there is an Ebola outbreak,” she said.

‘Designated target’ Mojtaba Khamenei to sign Trump deal in ‘unprecedented’ courier setup
Khamenei has been in hiding for nearly three months since a strike killed his father on Feb. 28, experts say he is a target. Iran’s supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, would have to approve any final deal with the U.S. through secret courier networks while remaining in hiding as a “designated target,” counterterrorism experts said Tuesday. The unprecedented arrangement, they claimed, means Washington is negotiating a high-stakes accord with an entirely invisible counterparty, with a potential memorandum signed by a regime leader and a “designated target” who can never publicly show his face. “Khamenei is a designated target, and every confirmed sighting is a coordinate,” Dr. Omar Mohammed told Fox News Digital.
‘Giant Turd’: Progressive Dems Continue To Rage At DNC 2024 Autopsy
This past week the DNC released its autopsy of the 2024 election. DNC chair Ken Martin sat on it for months, assured us there was no smoking gun, promised he’d already been sharing the lessons, and then finally dropped the 48,000 words on a Thursday with a note on the front saying the findings don’t reflect the views of the DNC. He released the autopsy and disowned it simultaneously. How do we campaign better with what we’ve got? How do we market this thing more effectively to the people we’re trying to sell it to? Never once do they stop and ask whether the thing they’re selling is bullshXX.

Reuters Peddles Fake News After Defense Contractor Misuses Civilian Starlink Terminals
Reuters dropped another misleading article today – this time attempting to manufacture drama between the Pentagon and SpaceX over Starlink usage during the Iran conflict.
