Magnify the Name of Jesus :: By Dennis Huebshman

Philippians 2:9-11; “Therefore God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, in Heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (ESV – all emphasis is mine).

Hebrews 13:8; “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”

Galatians 6:7-8; “Do not be deceived; God is not mocked; for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption; but the one who sows to the Spirit, will from the Spirit reap eternal life.”

The end-time scenarios given in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21, as well as 2 Timothy 3, are as if we were reading today’s world headlines. Luke 21:28 is one of my favorite verses: “Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing nigh.”

We could safely say that this beginning started about a decade ago.

Joshua 24:15 asks us to make a definite decision: “And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve; whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

There are those who say Jesus never declared that He was part of the Triune Godhead but was just another prophet. However, in John 10:27-30, Jesus states, “My Sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. I gave them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are One!”

John 14:6; “Jesus said to him [Thomas], I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.”

Acts 4:12; “And there is Salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under Heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

Many people today are quick to accept what they want to hear from so-called ministers who tweak God’s words to keep seats and collection plates filled. Paul told Timothy in 2 Timothy 4:3-4, “For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth, and wander off into myths.”

There are some observations that I have made over the years that have influenced me as to why I love our Beloved Savior.

He didn’t have to take the form of a human and come to this sin-filled planet, but He did. He even went through a human birth, although His blood was never mixed with Mary’s or Joseph’s. He was the only “human” from the beginning of this earth’s creation to the time of His birth, not to have the sin-nature in His blood due to the fall of mankind in the Garden of Eden.

He knew exactly why He was here, what He would have to endure, and could’ve stopped the process at any moment, but He didn’t.

Matthew 25:52-54; “Then Jesus said to him [Peter], put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and he will at once send Me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then should the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?”

Jesus knew the pain, suffering, and humiliation He was facing, yet He did not stop the process. The one instance that He dreaded more than anything was prophesied in Psalm 22:1, which He quoted while on the cross. It is believed that this was the instant that our beloved Savior took on all the sin of this world, including my sins, past present and future, and the instant that the Father would have to be separated from Him, even if for just a few seconds.

Matthew and Mark recorded that Jesus cried out, “My God! My God! Why have You forsaken Me?” John then records that after this outcry, Jesus stated, “It Is Finished!” and died. This last statement was His testimony that all humans would have a pathway to Him for all eternity if they would just receive and accept Him and the sacrifice He made for us.

When the stone was rolled away on that third day after his death, Jesus came out of the tomb to signify He had conquered sin and death, and there was now the fulfillment of our true pathway for ALL who would choose Him as their Savior.

In Matthew 25:41, Jesus told what the final destination would be for Satan and his demons – fallen angels – and they have no pathway to forgiveness. “Then He will say to those on His left, Depart from Me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.”

Revelation 20:11-16 gives this fate to everyone from the beginning of creation that were not in the will of the Father, and up to Calvary for all those who would take their last breath here without having Jesus as their Savior, which would be to join Satan in the hell fires forever.

For what Jesus has done for me, how could I not “Magnify Him”? In 2018, the Collingsworth Family recorded a song written by Kirk Talley with that title.

1.) I wish that I could write a song that would be known throughout the world. It just might be a love song that would warm the hearts of boys and girls; for you see, poetic lines and perfect rhymes tend to gain the world’s acclaim; but as long as “Love’s Author” lives in me, I will magnify His name.

Ref.) Magnify Him; Magnify Him; lift Him up; bless the name of the Lord. Glorify Him; edify Him; worship Him; praise to the name of the Lord.

2.) I’ll sing of how the lost were found, and how the blind were made to see; and I’ll know what I sing about, for I was lost but He found me. Each day will be a thanksgiving day; my voice to Him I’ll raise. So with every breath my soul pours out, I will give Him all the Praise! (Ref)

Our Heavenly Father wants no one to be cast into eternal punishment (2 Peter 3:9), but He will force no one to receive and accept His Son. All who do will have an eternity that will be wonderful beyond human description. It can’t be bought or earned, but as Ephesians 2:8-9 testifies, it is a gift from the Father for all who have His Son as their Savior.

There will be a judgment for all who are saved, but nowhere near the horrible White Throne Judgment event. In 2 Corinthians 5:10, Paul tells us, “for we must all appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.” We will gain or lose rewards at this Judgment, but everyone there will still spend eternity in Heaven.

The time to decide which eternity you want is now. We don’t know the day or hour or even second that the Rapture will occur. However, considering all that’s taking place around this world today, it is very near. Our Savior is never too busy to accept anyone who truly calls out for Him to be their Savior. Romans 10:9-13 gives the simple steps, and they are not complicated. Just have faith and believe our Savior would love to add you to His flock, if you are not already a part of it. He could be calling us Home any day now to keep the Father’s promise to keep all of the flock out of the coming wrath.

Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!

What Hamas Taught Mamdani: Lessons in Populist Propaganda and Totalitarian Takeover
Zohran Mamdani’s 2025 campaign for New York City mayor, framed as a progressive crusade for economic justice, bears conspicuous similarities to Hamas’s 2006 electoral campaign in the Palestinian legislative and presidential elections. Both Mamdani and Hamas’s campaigns leverage populist economic grievances to mask radical ideological agendas, blending reformist rhetoric with revolutionary objectives.

What we know about mysterious explosions on ships visiting Russian ports
Since January 2025, six tankers have been struck by unexplained explosions shortly after entering Russian ports. Many questions remain about the circumstances surrounding the blasts but several industry analysts believe sabotage, carried out by a state actor, is most likely responsible.

Why Palestinians terrorists want a ceasefire in Gaza
The terrorists want an end to the war while staying in power and pursuing their jihad (holy war) to murder Jews and eliminate Israel. In separate statements over the past week, senior officials of the Iran-backed Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) said that their terror groups “will not surrender.”

Mamdani’s effect on the NYPD
For Zohran, the NYPD is part of the white establishment — even though many officers are themselves Black or brown — which he clearly believes serves not to protect, but to oppress. Zohran Mamdani has promised to “defund the police”

Netanyahu: ‘We’re committed to protecting the Druze in Syria’
PM Netanyahu and Minister Smotrich visit Hashmonaim Brigade base. ‘We can protect our people and also preserve the world of Torah.’ “We are in a great struggle, and we need both the spiritual strength and military power to overcome it. Here, we have both the spirit and the strength. They come as haredim, and they leave as haredim – and this is possible. They come not by force – they come voluntarily – and this desire is widespread in the haredi public. … we are also committed to protecting the Druze population. We are doing this through intense actions. I hope we will not have to act further; it depends greatly on what is understood and done, and also not done in Damascus.”

Europe gives Iran August deadline for ‘snapback’ sanctions
The EU is moving to reinstate UN sanctions on Iran with an August 29 deadline for nuclear progress. This action could trigger a full “snapback” of sanctions by October 15. The 2015 nuclear deal’s structure prevents other signatories, such as China and Russia, from vetoing the sanctions “snapback.” Similarly, the US, which withdrew from the deal in 2018, also cannot veto the European action.

‘Fine Scholar’: UC Berkeley Chancellor Praises Professor Who Expressed Solidarity With Oct. 7 Attacks
Richard K. Lyons, who assumed the chancellorship in July 2024, issued the unmitigated praise while being questioned by members of the House of Representatives Committee on Education and the Workforce, which summoned him and the chief administrators of two other major universities to interrogate their handling of the campus antisemitism crisis.

‘Sharp As A Tack’?: The American People Were Deceived About Who Was Running The Country
Imagine your grandfather is very sick. You see him get lost, become confused, tumble on the stairs, fall off his bicycle, and lose his train of thought. Now imagine taking him to his doctor, who has seen everything you have witnessed, and he tells you that your grandfather is “perfectly fine.” Later, you learn he has stage four cancer. Your “grandfather” in this story is Joe Biden, and his doctor is White House physician Kevin O’Connor, who was just subpoenaed by the House oversight committee. Dr. O’Connor pleaded the Fifth when he was asked basic questions, such as: Did you ever think Biden was unfit to serve? Were you ever told to lie about the President’s health? Why would the President’s doctor plead the Fifth? What is there to hide?

The Cryptographic Fix For US Elections Is Still Sitting On The Shelf
A former voting machine auditor says U.S. election systems still lack basic cryptographic safeguards to detect ballot tampering or duplication. He proposes adding end-to-end cryptographic proofs – without blockchain – to secure future elections and restore public trust. Despite identifying vulnerabilities as early as 2006, he says vendors won’t act without legal pressure or updated election laws. “The biggest thing that wasn’t there was end-to-end cryptographic proofs,” Pospieszalski told Decrypt in an interview. “Meaning there’s no way the machine, even with perfect external security, could know if a ballot is legitimate, or if it’s been counted twice, three times, 10 times, or 1,000 times.”

Tropical Threat Brewing Off Florida, Gulf Of America Offshore Oil & Gas Rigs In Crosshairs
Meteorologists are closely monitoring Invest 93-L, a disorganized area of low pressure situated off Florida’s east coast on Tuesday morning. Conditions appear increasingly favorable for gradual development, and there is a growing likelihood that the system could strengthen into a tropical depression—or potentially a tropical storm—later this week.

The United States Of Impunity
AI is the whiff of perfume that’s supposed to mask the stench of terminal moral decay. It is appropriate to discuss the United States of Impunity on Bastille Day, which commemorates the start of the French Revolution in 1789, for the United States of Impunity is just as impervious to real change as the French monarchy, the Ancien Regime. It’s impossible to discuss the United States of Impunity without being dismissed as a raving lunatic because the moral decay that has turned the USA into the USI has been so completely normalized that we now accept the complete erasure of the nation’s moral foundations as “the way it’s always been.” But this is not true.

9/11 terrorists can be charged with death penalty, appeals court rules 
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled on Friday that the secretary of the Department of Defense “indisputably” has the authority to withdraw from plea deal agreements with three terrorists involved in the 9/11 attacks against the United States, clearing the way for the terrorists to potentially be sentenced to the death penalty. In a 2-1 ruling, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit determined that the Department of Defense has the authority to reverse the plea deals made last July by former President Joe Biden’s administration with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid Bin Attash, and Mustafa al-Hawsawi.

USA Deports Five Migrants to Eswatini

Heavy rainfall and flash flooding threaten Florida and Gulf Coast as Invest 93L moves westward
A low-pressure system designated Invest 93L is moving westward across the Florida Peninsula on July 15, 2025, with a medium chance of tropical cyclone development in the northeastern Gulf by mid-week. The system could become a tropical depression or Tropical Storm Dexter later this week, potentially affecting the northern Gulf Coast with heavy rain and localized flooding.

“The Year Of The Flood”: A Dozen “1,000 Year Floods” In 3 Days Were Quickly Followed By Historic Flooding In New York And New Jersey
2025 has certainly turned out to be a year that has been filled with chaotic natural disasters.  In particular, we have been hammered by one major flooding event after another in recent weeks.  A couple of days ago, I wrote about the “1,000-year storms” that hit Texas and North Carolina.  As you will see below, those storms produced a dozen “1,000-year floods” in just 3 days.  Even seasoned meteorologists were stunned by that.  And then on Monday, we witnessed terrifying flooding in New York and New Jersey.  So is even more flooding in our future?

The Cost of Living Is Out of Control
“…Earlier today, we learned that the official rate of inflation has gone up again. Apparently, it was the largest increase in five months, but I don’t put much stock in the official government numbers because I know how much they have been manipulated. In fact, the formula for calculating the official rate of inflation has been altered dozens of times since Jimmy Carter was in the White House, and every time they change the formula, the goal is to make inflation look lower than it actually is. To me, what really matters are the prices that we are hit with on a day-to-day basis, and those prices have been skyrocketing.”

A Nation In Crisis: Devastating Analysis Finds 40% Of Pregnancies In Liberal UK Cities End In Abortion
A new analysis of abortion figures in the United Kingdom has revealed the devastating reality that 40.3% of pregnancies in the Labour-majority cities of Liverpool and Brighton and Hove end in abortion.

Japanese covid vaccination database for 21 million citizens has been made public
On Sunday, two Japanese citizen groups held a press conference to discuss the data they received via the Freedom of Information Act last month.  Prof. Murakami, who was present at the press conference, revealed a disturbing peak in deaths 90–120 days after mRNA vaccination, with higher doses showing earlier death peaks.

Watch The Viral Video Of A Boy Named Cason Having A Supernatural Encounter With Jesus While In The Hospital That Has Been Seen More Than A Million Times
Today, I am going to write about something that is quite a bit different from the topics that I normally write about.  Typically, I tend to write about things that are currently in the news, but there are so many important stories that never make the news at all.  I want to try to make an effort to write about more of those stories, because most of the population never hears about so many of the absolutely amazing things that are taking place all around us.

Trump Pledges to “Bomb the S*** Out of Moscow And Beijing”
A recording has surfaced in which Donald Trump says he threatened Russia and China with military action. The audio, which apparently captures Trump telling donors that he warned major world leaders of consequences they would face if crossing geopolitical lines, is now circulating worldwide. Amidst speculation about its authenticity, it’s impossible to ignore the public and diplomatic ramifications of such a recording. Is it just another excerpt of Trump’s usual bravado – or the brewing of further global conflict?

Spain Erupts: Migrant Gang Beats Elderly Man, Locals Riot, Government Targets the Victims
A once-quiet Spanish town explodes in unrest after an elderly man is brutally beaten by North African migrants—yet instead of protecting its citizens, the government cracks down on those who dare to speak out, proving that in modern Europe, defending your homeland is the only crime that matters.

Global Oil Consumption Reaches All-Time High
Global oil consumption reached an all-time high in 2024, driven primarily by non-OECD countries, with the U.S. remaining the largest consumer.The U.S. continues to lead the world in total oil production, contributing to a record global output despite a slowdown in its growth rate.

Spanish Citizens Riot After Elderly Man Brutally Assaulted By Migrants
Among all the painfully leftist governments in Europe the leadership of Spain is often cited as the worst.  In 2023, Ipsos published a report conducted in collaboration with King’s College London and The Global Institute for Women’s Leadership, indicating that Spain is the European country with the highest level of “self-identified feminists” and a strong “awareness of gender inequality”.  In other words, the country is doomed to suffocate from the stupidity of far-left politics.
