From Japan To The U.S – Earthquake Fault Lines Are Awakening
Is there a possibility that a cataclysmic eruption of Mt. Rainier could occur in the not too distant future? On Tuesday morning, Mt. Rainier was shaken by over 400 earthquakes. It was the largest earthquake swarm that we have seen at Mt. Rainier since 2009. Those that have been following my work for a long time already know why this earthquake swarm immediately got my attention. One of these days, Mt. Rainier will suddenly erupt, and a lot of people living in the vicinity of the volcano will die.

When The Left Wants Blood: The Quiet Slide Toward Political Violence
In today’s political landscape, spectacle has become a stand-in for substance–nowhere more clearly than within the growing fringe of the Democratic Party.

Democrats Inspire Vicious, Escalating Attacks on ICE 
As ICE agents risk their lives to secure our borders and protect our communities, they’re facing a 700% surge in assaults — a direct consequence of dangerous, inflammatory rhetoric from Democrat politicians. The attacks have only gotten more brazen in recent days:

FDA approval process is broken: Hundreds of drugs do not work, some have dangerous adverse effects
Results of a two-year investigation found that the US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved nearly 75% of new drugs between 2013 and 2022 without meeting its own basic standards. Some cancer and Alzheimer’s drugs were fast-tracked using surrogate markers like tumour shrinkage or protein levels, not real improvements in survival, memory or function. Dangerous side effects – including brain inflammation, haemorrhage and blindness – were linked to drugs approved on minimal or flawed data, with thousands of deaths occurring each year.

Syrian political activist in Israel’s Knesset: ‘Al-Sharaa sees the opportunity for peace with Israel as once-in-a-century’
Amid increasing talk of an agreement between Syria and Israel, Shadi Martini, a Syrian political activist who previously managed a hospital in the city of Aleppo and is the CEO of the Multifaith Alliance, visited Israel’s parliament, the Knesset, on Wednesday.

From Doorpost to Ear: Netanyahu’s Mezuzah Gift Honors Trump’s Divine Protection
The choice of a mezuzah as a gift carries profound spiritual meaning. A mezuzah contains a parchment inscribed with the Shema Yisrael prayer, beginning with “Hear, O Israel, the Lord (is) our God, the Lord is One.” The parchment must be prepared from a kosher animal and hand-written by a God-fearing Jew using specific ink and a quill. When affixed to doorposts, it serves as a visible reminder of the covenant between the Jewish people and God.

Iran: Will the West finish the job?
Iran’s suspension of cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is not a turning point. It is business as usual. Tehran’s decades-long strategy — deny, delay, deceive — continues, and the West still refuses to call it for what it is: a slow-motion march toward nuclear capability. Some commentators are now warning that Iran has suspended cooperation and may finally pursue the bomb,

Israel’s hold on Gaza corridor said to stall hostage deal, ceasefire talks
Israel’s refusal to withdraw from the Morag Corridor in southern Gaza is holding up a proposed hostage deal and ceasefire agreement, according to a report by Ynet on Wednesday. The 12-kilometer route, seen as critical to Israel’s war strategy, has become the main obstacle to advancing talks, despite growing pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump and international mediators. The corridor, located between Rafah and Khan Younis, was captured by Israeli forces three months ago. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly emphasized its strategic importance, calling it essential for dividing Gaza and weakening Hamas.

Hamas: We agreed to release 10 hostages
According to the statement, Hamas leadership is continuing its efforts with what it called a responsible approach, seeking a comprehensive agreement that would end what it described as the “aggression” against the Palestinian Arab people, allow the free and safe entry of humanitarian aid, and ease the suffering of Gaza’s population. “As part of its commitment to the success of the current efforts, the Hamas movement has demonstrated the necessary flexibility and agreed to the release of ten hostages,” the statement read.

Brace Yourself! More Than 400 Earthquakes Just Shook Mt. Rainier In Washington State, And More Than 1,300 Earthquakes Just Rattled Japan
Is there a possibility that a cataclysmic eruption of Mt. Rainier could occur in the not too distant future?  On Tuesday morning, Mt. Rainier was shaken by over 400 earthquakes.  It was the largest earthquake swarm that we have seen at Mt. Rainier since 2009.  Those that have been following my work for a long time already know why this earthquake swarm immediately got my attention.  One of these days, Mt. Rainier will suddenly erupt, and a lot of people living in the vicinity of the volcano will die.  Authorities have always known about the threat that Mt. Rainier poses, but they just kept building more homes in the shadow of the volcano.  The stage is set for a tragedy of unimaginable proportions, and the clock is ticking.

EXPOSED: Texas Imam Yasir Qadhi Trains Operatives in Turkey with Banned Muslim Brotherhood Leader—Praises Osama bin Laden’s Mentor and Mastermind Behind al-Qaeda and ISIS
Dr. Tareq Al-Suwaidan is banned from entering the United States due to his promotion of jihad, antisemitic incitement, and open support for Hamas. Yet the very agenda that got him banned is thriving on American soil, most visibly through his ideological ally, Texas imam Yasir Qadhi. Many of the Islamic networks, organizations, and student movements Al-Suwaidan helped build during his time in the U.S. remain active today, operating at full speed under tax-exempt status and carrying out his vision. While barred from U.S. entry, Al-Suwaidan continues to recruit American Muslim operatives and bring them to Islamic-majority countries for ideological training, often alongside Qadhi, who now pushes the same agenda here at home.

Foreshadows of “1984” :: By Terry James

The apothegm “life often imitates art” has never been more applicable than when considering today’s headlines in the literary shadow of the novel 1984. And that maxim, upon considering that novel, shows, I think, just where at this late hour of the age this generation stands upon God’s prophetic timeline.

Many years ago, I wrote a novel along the lines of Orwell’s fiction, all the while trying to stay within exactly how things are prophesied to unfold in God’s Word. That novel, Jacob’s Trouble 666, is still available, I think, on Amazon.

While my effort in writing the story of my protagonist, Jacob Zen, didn’t rise to the level of the brilliance in creativity and syntax of Orwell’s portrayal of his protagonist, Winston Smith, Jacob’s Trouble 666 did, like 1984, foreshadow, I’m confident, what we have long since begun to witness big time. That is, life is now imitating art, just as both Orwell’s novel and mine were intended to present.

George Orwell’s story now seems almost prescient in its conception, while mine didn’t anticipate as accurately how the world would be divided as the dictatorships developed to their present state.

By that, I mean Jacob’s Trouble 666, although biblically centered, was, as is most of my writing, America-centric. Orwell’s fictional account of the coming global dictatorship was…well…global in scope.

Not only that, his was British-centric, which, as we will see below, is important to examination of a current news item as relative to prophetic development, in my view.

A synopsis of the 1984 novel provides futuristic geographical orientation for the reader.

1984 is set in a dystopian future where the world is divided into three superstates constantly at war: Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia. The story unfolds in Airstrip One (formerly Great Britain), a province of the totalitarian superstate of Oceania, which is under the control of the Party led by the figurehead Big Brother.

Britain has, in the story, become the center of power for an all-controlling dictatorship. I don’t know to what extent George Orwell looked into Bible prophecy and the foretold coming Antichrist when forming his storyline. But I have to believe he at least was cursorily familiar with the book of Daniel, Revelation chapter 13 and beyond.

Whatever the case, the author, by accidental good fortune, highly intuitive reasoning, or through premonition provided by a muse on his shoulder, hit upon where such dictatorship might emerge to Antichrist-level control. And to astute observers of recent developments in Great Britain and the UK in general, things are trending swiftly toward change that is disturbing.

While Islamic influence is becoming overbearing in many areas of Britain –and European nations in general— the cultural degrading being foisted upon the society is nothing short of dystopian.

The following news indicates that movement into Orwell-like dystopia.

The UK government is considering a mandatory digital ID for all citizens and legal residents in the UK. And the NHS has plans to sequence and store the DNA of all babies born in England. We are fast approaching a dystopian digital surveillance state, similar to what China’s communist government has implemented.

The UK government is considering a proposal for a mandatory digital ID, known as the “BritCard,” which would require the entire population to download it and connect their birth records to the “One Login” system.

The BritCard scheme was proposed by the “think tank” Labour Together. Labour Together’s team is made up largely of former Labour MPs, former local government politicians, former civil servants, and former politicians’ assistants.  It is influential within the Labour Party and, currently, the Labour government under Keir Starmer.

Labour Together claims that, according to a poll they had conducted, 80% of Britons would support a digital identity card. We would like to know who they polled – their office staff?

“For a progressive society to work, it needs to be able to collectively agree who is allowed to join it. Because it will exclude those who cannot join it, it needs to give its members proof that they belong,” Labour Together said.  “Progressive” doesn’t mean that society is improving or people’s lives are going to improve; it means that society is progressing towards the Globalists’ aims of totalitarianism…

Meanwhile, the Bank of England and HM Treasury are currently in the design phase for a potential digital pound, the UK’s central bank digital currency (“CBDC”), with an Academic Advisory Group supporting the process. In January 2025, the Bank of England announced plans for a “Digital Pound Lab” to enable “hands-on experimentation” as part of its preparation for a potential CBDC. (“Digital dystopia looms large in the UK,” by Rhoda Wilson, The Expose, June 26, 2025)

Those who watch (Mark 13:37)—who view all these goings-on— see the prophetic shadows creeping across the European landscape. Just as we are witnessing the peace efforts spreading across the Middle East—an effort that will ultimately bring the “peace that will destroy many”— we know the moving forward of the global, digital economic efforts will result in enslavement for that dystopian Tribulation world in which all will be forced to accept the mark and number in the worship of Antichrist, or face starvation or death by beheading.

While the actual year 1984 is long since in the past, George Orwell’s novel, 1984, is casting shadows into and over our time, it seems. But it is God’s infallible, Holy Word –His prophetic Word—from which those who seek to know where we are on Heaven’s timeline for the wrap-up of this great supernatural novel (the Greatest Story Ever Told) find truth, not fiction.

We have indeed been seeing “all these things begin to come to pass” for quite some time. And it is past time that we who name the Majestic Name of Jesus Christ be “looking up, for our Redeemer is drawing near!”

Here again is how to be rescued by that Redeemer before that time of satanic evil of the Tribulation begins.

“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).
