Rabbi Eliyahu to Iran: Israel’s victories are divine, not demonic
Safed Chief Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu issued an unusual video message this week addressing Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and the Islamic Republic’s religious scholars, following reports that Iranian leaders attributed Israel’s recent military success to supernatural forces. Responding to claims made in Iran that Israel’s military achievements were aided by “djinn” or demons, Rabbi Eliyahu firmly dismissed the allegation, stating, “That is simply a mistake. We do not use demons. There is wisdom that deals with demons, but we do not use them. Why? Because we have holy angels that help us in these wars.”The rabbi emphasized that these divine interventions are not unique to the present conflict, recalling similar outcomes in Israel’s earlier wars. ”

‘Japanese First’: The deep roots of the rising far right
Japan’s far-right Sanseito party won a record number of seats in the country’s recent upper-house elections, stripping the ruling party of its majority and cementing itself as an outspoken voice against immigration. The “Japanese First” group, which first came to prominence with its strident opposition to Covid-19 health measures, takes inspiration directly from far-right political forces abroad – including France’s National Rally and US President Donald Trump’s MAGA movement.

Macron Couple Sues Podcaster Candace Owens for Defamation
The French presidential couple is suing the American podcaster Candace Owens for defamation. This after Owens refused to withdraw allegations that Brigitte Macron previously was a man. ”We gave her every opportunity to back down from the claims, but she refused”.

Trump has a chance to scupper the EPA study used as the cornerstone for Democrats’ climate policies
The Trump Administration is on the precipice of ending the Endangerment Finding, a rule that Democrats have used for years to impose harsh climate regulations, energy policy experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation (“DCNF”). The Endangerment Finding, established in 2009 under the Obama Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), rules that greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, can be regulated for the sake of human health and the environment. The underlying science was contested when the EPA established the rule, and the Endangerment Finding has since been used to impose draconian rules on power plants that have helped lead to closures across the country and teed up Democrat policies that have forced electric vehicles and appliances onto consumers, energy sector experts told the DCNF.

IDF chief Zamir says Gaza War is ‘among the most complex in IDF history’ as military implements major changes
Zamir also stressed the IDF would continue to “weaken and prevent Syria and Hezbollah from achieving strategic capabilities and maintain our freedom of action,” adding that the military is “consistently combatting terrorism” in Judea and Samaria. During the meeting, Zamir also presented first changes to the IDF’s overall security concept, parts of which were adapted following first lessons from the ongoing war. Main points included stressing the principle, “defense through offense,”

As Hamas faces ‘its worst financial crisis,’ humanitarian aid distribution becomes point of contention in ceasefire talks
based on interviews with Palestinians, Israeli analysts, IDF officers and sources close to Hamas, says that the terror organization is no longer able to pay the salaries of its fighters, rebuild or refurbish tunnels damaged by IDF strikes, or even pay the salaries of civil employees, such as government ministers and police officers.

After weeks of mysterious fires and explosions, Iranian regime suspects Israeli sabotage
One month after the surprise announcement of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel by U.S. President Donald Trump, officials in the Islamic Republic fear that fighting could be ongoing in a more covert fashion. For over two weeks now, a series of mysterious fires and explosions have been reported across the country of Iran, almost on a daily basis, and sometimes even two or three on the same day. Publicly, Iranian officials have blamed an aging gas infrastructure, misuse of natural gas containers, or gas-fired water heaters for many of the incidents – but privately, many fear that at least some of the explosions could be instigated by Israel,

No country should be consulting a psychic – especially Israel
Would it surprise you to hear that Israeli psychic, Uri Geller, has been consulted by a number of countries, who apparently believe that relying upon his powers could be a benefit to them? According to a recent Jerusalem Post article, Geller has not only been contacted by Israel, but, in the past, by the U.K. and the U.S., in an attempt to gain an advantage “which cannot happen with anything known to the human mind from a scientific point of view.” in Operation “Rising Lion,” Israel consulted a psychic, which is an occult practice. If this is true, there is, indeed, cause for worry, having a biblical precedent. The sad tale of King Saul, as recorded in I Samuel 28,

Munich Christians Form Human Chain to Protect Synagogue from “Pro-Palestinians”
During Friday night Shabbat prayers, approximately 750 Christians joined hands in a human chain encircling the main synagogue at Jakobsplatz. The synagogue was in the path of an anti-Israel protest organized under the slogan “Stop the Genocide. Free Palestine” by the group Palestine Speaks. One of the speakers at the protest dismissed the human chain around the synagogue The speaker also claimed that those participating in the human chain were trying to “buy their freedom” from the crimes of their parents’ generation.

‘Iran ready to strike Israel again,’ warns Iranian president
Pezeshkian warned that while Iran is not actively seeking a new armed conflict with Israel, his country is prepared to strike Israel “deeply.” “Tehran is ready for any action by Israel, which sought to change Iran — but failed. Iranian forces are ready to strike again,

‘Jihadists surrounding al-Sharaa haven’t abandoned extreme vision’
The attempted massacre by the new Syrian regime of the Druze minority in the southern Sweida province, and clashes between the Druze and local government-backed Bedouin tribes, which have left over a thousand dead and displaced more than 128,000 people according to U.N. estimates, have forced a direct Israeli military intervention and revealed a deep strategic dilemma for Jerusalem. the crisis escalated dramatically, when forces loyal to Syrian leader Ahmad al-Sharaa entered Sweida city and began indiscriminately murdering the Druze population,

Ambassador Huckabee: Hamas is the cause of the prolonged war
“Stop the nonsense saying ‘Israel doesn’t want war in Gaza to end…there is only ONE reason this has dragged on-Hamas! They are evil. And they are the cause of the prolonged suffering. Full stop,” wrote the Ambassador.

Israeli MMA Fighter Challenges Muslim Boxer to a Match After He Chases Jewish Zionist in NYC
Israeli mixed martial artist Natan Levy challenged Muslim YouTuber and lightweight professional boxer Adam Saleh to a fight after videos circulated online of the latter chasing a Jewish, Israeli man through a New York City park while wearing boxing gloves and shouting “Free Palestine.” The incident in Washington Square Park began when the Zionist Israeli, live streaming his interaction with Saleh, twice told the boxer “I f–king hate Palestine, I hope they [Palestinians] all get murdered.” He further said about Palestine: “They’re losers; we are going to win.” When Saleh accused Israel of committing genocide during the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, the Israeli replied, “Genocide? It’s a war. It’s not a genocide.”

“Mystery Explosions” Just Keep Happening All Over Iran, And We Are Being Warned That The Iranians Are Ready To “Hit Deep Into Israel Again”
I am entirely convinced that the “mystery explosions” that we have been witnessing are an indication that the war between Israel and Iran will soon be “unpaused”. Today, the most important newspaper in the United States ran a major story about the “mysterious explosions and fires” that just keep happening all over Iran. If you have been following my work for a long time, you know why that New York Times story immediately captured my attention. I have been warning about “when the war between Israel and Iran erupts again”, and it appears that we are getting close. The president of Iran just publicly stated that his nation is not optimistic that the ceasefire will hold, and he is warning that his country is ready to “hit deep into Israel again”. Unfortunately, I think that when the war starts up again it won’t be so easy to stop this time.

“There’s No Nothing”: Empty Shelves, Rotten Odors Plague Gov’t-Funded Supermarket In Missouri
One of the dozen or so socialist policy proposals from NYC Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani is the creation of government-funded grocery stores. While the Democratic Party increasingly embraces socialist and Marxist-leaning policies, such as the seizure of private property, this idea of government-funded grocery stores appears disconnected from both fundamental economic realities and historical precedent. Nowhere is this more evident than in East Kansas City, where a nonprofit operates a grocery store on government land that has become a symbol of failure, plagued by the smell of rot and empty shelves.

Islamized Italy: 70% of Juvenile Inmates in Milan Are Muslim
Milan, Italy – At Milan’s Cesare Beccaria juvenile detention center, a stark and unsettling statistic is forcing national reflection: approximately 70% of detained minors are Muslim, according to Italian authorities. The majority are second-generation immigrants—born in Italy to foreign parents, yet deeply alienated from Italian society, culture, and values.

God’s Word: The Cure For ‘Israel Derangement Syndrome’
Israel Derangement Syndrome (IDS) is the illness, antisemitism is the symptom, and all seems to indicate that most of the world suffers from that syndrome. The cure is clearly found in the Bible for those who care to look for it. Before we do look for a cure, let’s look at how bad the illness has become over the last few years.

‘Christian’ Lawmaker Twists God’s Word, Tells Joe Rogan’s Audience That The Bible Is ‘Pro-Abortion’
Proverbs 30:6 instructs: “Do not add to [God’s] words, lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar.” This verse comes to mind after watching a truly atrocious clip from an interview on the podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, featuring Texas State Representative James Talarico, who is also a professing progressive Christian. In this four-minute clip, Talarico argues that there is “no historical, theological, biblical basis” for saying Christians must oppose abortion and that “this idea that there is a set Christian orthodoxy on the issue of abortion, it’s just not rooted in Scripture.” And then Talarico goes even further to argue that the Bible is actually pro-abortion.

Canada’s death charity sees rapid growth; the number of people being killed by MAiDHouse doubles
In a recent video, Kelsi Sheren, a Canadian combat veteran, host of The Kelsi Sheren Perspective and an outspoken opponent of Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (“MAiD”) policies, shared some details about the profitable “charity” MAiDHouse. The “charity” boasted that its business doubled in 2023, enabling it to open a second facility. MAiDHouse is a modern-day eugenic facility, a death facility which preys on and profits from vulnerable people to remove those who they perceive as a “burden on society.”

France’s Great Replacement: One in Four Babies Now Born With Arab-Muslim First Names
“In just two generations, France has gone from fewer than 1% of newborns with Arab-Muslim names to over 25% — a demographic shift so rapid and profound it now makes ethnic French minorities in their own maternity wards.”

Hamas’s Man in New York: Zohran Mamdani, The Holy Land Five, and the Marxist-Islamic Threat to America
Support for the Holy Land Five, rooted in Islamic and Marxist ideologies, raises alarms about national security and prompts calls for denaturalization of non-citizens who endorse these terrorist financiers.

At this time in history, when God seems far from the fallen, wicked minds of man, upon observing the evil in every direction, we might legitimately observe that some within the theological milieu no doubt say that Deity, if indeed He exists, has thoughts turned to directions other than this minuscule dot in the universe called Planet Earth.

Many who are less existential—that is, less agnostic in their view of the interaction between God and man—most likely think God is just awaiting the moment when He gets fed up and will strike, like He did in the cases of Sodom and Gomorrah. That is, He will be “hands off” until that prophetic moment. (And there is much biblical evidence that that time is coming.)

But there is dramatic evidence, in full view, that the God of Heaven is neither existential nor brooding with building anger. The primary evidence sits starkly in God’s key city, Jerusalem. It is God’s very touchstone to humanity.

This touchstone is the key to thousands of years of wars fought by peoples, tribes, and nations. It is the one geographical feature on earth that will bring all rebellious humankind to the killing fields of Megiddo–Armageddon.

This touchstone is where God’s omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent attention once resided. It is the touchstone where God Himself will again take up residence.

Let’s look at this once and future dwelling place of the Creator of all there is, with the assurance that even now He is fully engaged with humanity.

David, king of Israel, wanted to build a house wherein God could reside. Jehovah, who called David “a man after my own heart,” proposed the question of whether He could be contained in such a structure. The answer, of course, was no…

The Lord did appreciate the thought, though, obviously. He told David he couldn’t build a place where God could dwell among men in that fashion. David had too much blood on his hands from all the wars he had fought to defend Israel and acquire land God gave the chosen people.

Instead, God told David that Solomon, David’s son, would build God such a dwelling place. The Temple Solomon built had at its heart the Holy of Holies, a fifteen-foot-cubed inner sanctum wherein sat the Ark of the Covenant, the elaborately prepared container wherein the Shekinah Glory, the very presence of God, would dwell.

That spot is still somewhere upon the Temple Mount—Mount Moriah, most scholars believe. Religious Jews still are afraid to walk upon the Temple Mount grounds for fear of accidentally treading upon that one spot on earth where God chose to once reside.

The Temple and the Holy of Holies constituted God’s touchstone to humanity—and particularly to the Jews. It is the place where Abraham was to offer Isaac before God intervened with the ram caught by its horns in a thicket, thus providing the sacrifice Abraham made to the God of Heaven.

Not far from the spot of the Holy of Holies is Golgotha, where the Son of God—Jesus the Christ—the once-and-for-all sacrifice for all the sins of humankind—hung on the cross. When Christ died, the veil in the Temple’s Holy of Holies tore from top to bottom, giving man direct access to God the Father through that sin-Sacrifice, God’s only Begotten Son.

Solomon’s Temple, then, was the First Temple. Its glorious beauty stunned even the queen of Sheba when her eyes fell upon its splendor.

A Third Temple will be built at a future time, Bible prophecy says. Solomon’s was the First Temple. Nebuchadnezzar destroyed it in 587 BC.

The building of the Second Temple took place following Israel’s Babylonian captivity. It lasted from 516 BC to AD 70. It became known as Herod’s Temple when it was commissioned by the king to be greatly expanded in size and beautified to the extent that it was considered magnificent by those who looked upon it.

This Temple was destroyed by the Roman military in AD 70, when Roman Emperor Vespasian sent his son, General Titus, to put down insurrection in Jerusalem. (This was a fulfillment of Daniel’s prophecy in Daniel 9:26-27 and of Jesus’ foretelling as recorded in Matthew 24:1-2).

The Third Temple will be in place during the last seven years of human history prior to Christ’s return. Daniel prophesied about Antichrist: “In the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease” (Daniel 9:27b). This last, most vicious, tyrant will enter the Third Temple and desecrate it.

Paul the apostle says of that future temple and Antichrist: “Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God” (2 Thessalonians 2:4).

The Third Temple is mentioned in the book of Revelation. In 11:1-2 of that detailed account of unfolding events during the Tribulation, John is told to “measure” the Temple. This, apparently, is a symbolic way to assess its spiritual status.

Exactly when the Third Temple will be built is unknown. The prophetic Word says only that it will exist during the seven years of Tribulation—specifically, at the three-and-one-half-year mark.

Many who study the Third Temple matter believe construction of the structure must start well in advance of the Tribulation era. The completion of such an edifice, they believe, will take quite a measure of time. Others hold that the Jews are even now contemplating building a tent-type structure like Moses’ Tabernacle. They believe worship, with sacrifices reinstituted, could be going on there while the more grandiose Temple is under construction.

There are, of course, problems with beginning to build the Third Temple. These matters involve millennia-long hatreds against God’s blueprint for His chosen nation and the rest of humanity. The hatred is satanically driven. We watch it manifest as daily headlines unfold. Israel –the Jewish people—are beginning to be hated on a global scale, not just by Israel’s immediately surrounding neighbors in the Middle East.

Mount Moriah—the Temple Mount—is proof from Heaven that God’s mighty hand holds sway over all that’s said to occur. Watch with intense observation that great touchstone to humanity and all that unfolds from now until Christ calls the Church –all believers—to Himself in the Rapture.
