Why the Red Heifer Is Back in the Spotlight—and Why Christians Should Be Watching 
“The first thought always is this is not going away,” Gonzales told Charisma Media. “I think often times what we’ve seen over the past few years is there’s been ups and downs with the news cycle and red heifers being offered up in ceremonies and then it kind of fades away. And then to have this one born in the land of Israel is bringing it all back to the forefront.” “The red heifer is not required to be offered before the temple’s built,” he said. “So the temple can be built even if they wanted to.”

Thomas urges justices to clamp down on congressional power
The high court’s 9-0 opinion last week in United States v Hemani favored Ali Hemani, a Texas man arrested in 2022, who had won his legal challenge in lower courts before the federal government appealed to the Supreme Court. Hemani was facing up to 15 years in prison for owning a firearm, and possessing marijuana in his home, but the Supremes struck down the federal law that makes it a crime to be an “unlawful user” of a controlled substance and also own a firearm. Ellis quoted Thomas’ legal argument that Congress “lacks the power to regulate the possession of firearms solely on the ground that they crossed state lines at some point in the past.”

Trump Deals Major Blow to Legal DEI Machine 
Last month, the ABA voted to eliminate Standard 206, its controversial diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) mandate for law school admissions and staff hiring decisions. This significant victory for merit and common sense happened not because the ABA suddenly rediscovered political neutrality, but because of sustained pressure from the Trump administration. The ABA has long enjoyed a privileged role in American legal education as the sole accreditor recognized by the federal government. That position gives it extraordinary leverage over law schools and ultimately who gets to enter the legal profession.

Venezuela hit by back-to-back powerful earthquakes, buildings collapse in Caracas
Two powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela minutes apart on Wednesday, collapsing buildings in the capital, Caracas. The US Geological Survey said a magnitude 7.1 quake hit near Morón at a depth of 13 km, followed one minute later by a stronger 7.5-magnitude quake 16 km southwest of the town at 10 km depth.

‘DERANGED’: Thom Tillis pummels Pulte for firing Deep Staters, slams ‘hot-steamy pile of DOGE sh**!’
U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., is ferociously dumping on cuts of Deep State intel officials, calling the move by Acting Director of National Intelligence Bill Pulte “another hot-steamy pile of DOGE sh**!” CNN reported Tuesday: “Firings at the Office of the Director of National intelligence started today, a source familiar with the matter told CNN.” “six career and political intelligence staff were terminated and 45 were sent back to their home agencies, according to three sources familiar with the personnel moves.”
there could be as many as two dozen additional firings in the coming weeks, but would unlikely go beyond that.

Hormuz Exodus Begins: Ships Finally Sailing As UN-Led Evacuation Corridor Opens
US Energy Secretary Wright says roughly 72 ships have exited Strait of Hormuz in last 24 hours. “Ships have already begun to pass under the plan,” stated a spokesperson for the UN’s International Maritime Organization (IMO), though they opted not to disclose specific details regarding the transiting vessels.

Dr. Wafik El-Deiry: Cancer occurs at covid injection sites, and tumours are found to contain spike protein
Earlier this month, oncologist Dr. Wafik El-Deiry testified at a hearing of the US Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. As part of his work for the HHS Advisory Committee on Immunisation Practices, Dr. El-Deiry investigated the relationship between cancer and covid infection and covid vaccines. He found nearly 70 papers describing over 300 reported cancer cases from 27 countries following covid mRNA vaccine injections, with cancers occurring at the injection sites. “In some reported cases, spike protein was identified within tumour tissue,” he said. “There should be no spike in tumours.”

Maryland Protests Data Center Costs
A group of 80 Maryland state lawmakers are backing a complaint at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission over the PJM Interconnection’s cost allocation for transmission lines that support data centers.

Antifa Leader Sentenced To 100 Years In Prison For Attack On ICE Facility
The Antifa attack on the Texas ICE facility in Alvarado was a highly coordinated plan, using fireworks and a fake vandalism call to lure out ICE agents and police so that they could be shot in a hail of gunfire. Responding Alvarado Police Department Lieutenant Thomas Gross was shot in the shoulder and the rifle round exited his neck during the crossfire, but he managed to survive. Eight of the activists who were found guilty by a federal jury of terrorism-related charges earlier this year learned the details of their punishments this week. The group’s leader, Benjamin Song, was sentenced to a century in prison.

Sanhedrin to America: The Iran deal is a fantasy, and it will cost you everything
On 7 Tammuz 5786, June 23, 2026, the nascent Sanhedrin, the Jewish court reconstituted in Israel after a 1,600-year absence, issued a formal ruling addressed to the American people, warning that the US-Iran memorandum of understanding signed in Switzerland is built on illusion and places the United States in existential danger. The court opened its declaration with the ancient Aramaic legal formula bemutav beit dina ke-ḥada havina — “we were convened together as a single court” — a phrase that signals the ruling carries the full weight of a properly constituted rabbinic tribunal. The message: America is making one of the greatest strategic miscalculations in its history.

New data reveals full scale of war damage to Iran’s industrial sector
New production figures released by some of Iran’s largest industrial companies suggest that the economic damage inflicted during the 39-day conflict between Iran and the U.S.-Israel coalition was deeper than previously estimated. In recent weeks, Iranian officials have claimed repeatedly that damaged facilities are being restored and that industrial production is returning to normal. However, the new production data published by major petrochemical, steel, and automotive companies paint a different picture, revealing disruptions across key sectors of the economy.

POLL: More than Half of Democrats Want to Leave America 
As the nation approaches the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, there’s one group that public polling consistently shows isn’t in a celebratory mood: Democrats. But the modern liberal disdain for the United States is rooted in a great delusion that there is anywhere else in the world that is better – even for progressive values. But perhaps the most astonishing finding on the left’s patriotic collapse is that more than half of Democrats don’t even want to live in America.

Tzipi Hotovely: ‘We are fighting the world’s war with evil’
Israel’s National Diplomacy Directorate chief Tzipi Hotovely called for a coordinated global campaign to defend Israel’s image, arguing that the country must present itself not as a victim but as a defender of Western civilization.

Venezuela earthquake: powerful back-to-back quakes collapse buildings in capital Caracas
Venezuela’s capital, Caracas, was struck by a 7.5 “mainshock” and a 7.2 “foreshock” 39 seconds earlier, causing major damage at the international airport and bringing several large buildings down. The quakes, among the largest in Venezuela’s history, were felt in many parts of the country.

Decades of black and Hispanic political power in NYC was just seized by Muslim Marxists
The political power structure in New York City is changing fast. In the very recent past, the city was ruled by black and Hispanic political movers and shakers. That’s now coming to an end as the rise of the Muslim Marxists takes over the entire city.

Climate change is big money: UN demands $1.3 trillion per year to fight “climate chaos”
If you were ever in doubt that the catastrophic climate change narrative was about money, masses of it, wonder no more. António Guterres, the UN’s Secretary-General, has called for governments and financial institutions to massively increase their spending on climate change effects.

New York Under Siege: Aber Kawas Represents the Full Fusion of Socialism, Islam, and Anti-American Activism

California Just Got Another Major Warning That “The Big One” Is Coming
The 5.6 earthquake that just shook portions of three states should be a wake-up call for everyone in California. The San Andreas Fault system is locked and loaded, a matter of time before a cataclysmic earthquake permanently alters the geography of the state. A day is coming when large portions of Southern California will no longer be above water.

“Godzilla El Niño” Strikes Again: An Epic Heat Wave Is Shattering Records All Over Europe
Many refer to this year’s El Niño as a “Godzilla El Niño”; now we’re starting to understand why such an extreme label. We all knew that when an El Niño formed, it would bring higher temperatures, but this is ridiculous. An immense heat dome is expected to fry the heartland of the US during the next seven days, but conditions are worse in Europe.

Pre-Trib Rapture, or Not: Economic Evidence :: By Terry James

Yes. I hear from our family treasurer—wife Margaret—about the price of groceries. Same about gas at the pump. It’s almost the same economic bad news I was bombarded with by Margaret way back around 1976 as the two hundredth birthday of the nation was in full celebration.

It was thought then that America and the world were on the cusp of going into a 1929-type depression. Some in the Bible prophecy community were warning that it looked like the Tribulation could begin within short order.

Those of the pre-Trib Rapture view were assuring others that this could not, would not happen as long as the Church—all born-again believers—were here on Earth.

Hal Lindsey’s Late, Great Planet Earth book had been out about five or six years, and some came against his pre-Trib Rapture presentation, saying he was about to be proven wrong. The economy was trending not toward the Rapture, but toward the time when life would become hell on Earth.

Jimmy Carter’s economic handling-caused malaise made many feel like they were indeed entering the Revelation Tribulation. But along came the Reagan Revolution, and the economic evidence soon proved it wasn’t the end of the Age of Grace—the Church Age—to those who thought gloom and doom were immediately in the offing.

Many of those who watch issues and events unfold that might have prophetic significance consider evidence whether the same degree of economic malaise today as existed during the days of the Carter administration might mean America and the world are about to slip, alas, into the Tribulation. Doesn’t this mean the pre-Trib Rapture “theory,” as it’s called by detractors, is a false teaching that has duped so many, particularly since the release of Lindsey’s book all those years ago?

One writer believes this to be the case. His writing has demonstrated that he believes the pre-Trib Rapture teaching is not biblical. His book from years ago, The Rapture Verdict, would testify to this belief.

Since that time, he has presented many articles and other writings that propose evidence that things, economically, are getting ever more Tribulation-like. At least that’s how I view his writing regarding how Bible prophecy is unfolding. Christians of this Church Age will, that writer believes, go through, not be kept out of, the time of Daniel’s seventieth week –the Tribulation. Most who believe like this discount there being such a thing as dispensations, as a matter of fact.

His book came out about the same time those years ago as my book, Rapture Ready…Or Not, so I remember well his Verdict—that there will be no pre-Trib Rapture.

His most current appraisal of economic evidence that we’re entering a time of national and global catastrophic downturn confirms that his thought that there will be no pre-Trib Rapture holds firm. We will soon be in the time of Tribulation—that is, all who have trusted Jesus Christ during this Age of Grace have only that seven years of Antichrist rule to which to look forward.

Here is a brief excerpt of his presumed economic evidence of looming catastrophe:

Just over half of Americans say the American Dream is out of reach for most people right now, according to a new CNBC and SurveyMonkey American Dream Pulse Survey…

According to Brownstone Institute President Jeffrey A. Tucker, the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar has fallen by close to 50 percent since the beginning of the COVID lockdowns…

Think about the implications. Isolating from the beginning of the Covid period to the present, Elliott’s data estimates as much as a 40% loss in purchasing power over six years. Or perhaps closer to 50%…

Many U.S. households are now permanently in a state of financial crisis.

When your bank account is constantly near zero, it can be absolutely soul-crushing.

But that is where most of the U.S. population exists today.

As a result, Americans are using buy now, pay later platforms to purchase gas and groceries more than ever before

Americans have run their credit cards to the limit. Now they’ve turned to buy-now-pay-later plans to buy gas and groceries.

This is yet more evidence that American consumers are broke, stressed, and buried in debt as inflation steals their purchasing power…

Roughly 48% of Americans said their financial situation was worse in May than a year ago, the highest share since January 2023, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Survey of Consumer Expectations.

Consumers are also less optimistic about the future. The share of households expecting their finances to improve over the next year, relative to those expecting them to worsen, fell to its lowest level since October 2022, the New York Fed said.

If you are really struggling because of the rapidly rising cost of living, I want you to know that you are not alone.

There are millions upon millions of others that are in the exact same boat. Decades of very foolish decisions have brought us to this point, and there is no easy fix.

So hold on tight, because all of us are just going to have to do the best that we can to survive in this very difficult economic environment. (“The Purchasing Power of the Dollar Has Collapsed and the Majority of the Population No Longer Believes in the American Dream,” by Michael Snyder, End of the American Dream, Rapture Ready News, June 10, 2026)

Again, the above writer’s purpose, from the standpoint of his belief in there being no pre-Trib Rapture, is to, in my view, give evidence that Christians are about to enter the Tribulation along with all others of America and the world. (And here I want to say Michael is an excellent writer, and one who obviously loves the Lord and the Bible. I respect him as a brother in Christ.)

However, my own view, as written many times, is that Jesus said when He next catastrophically intervenes into the wicked affairs of humanity, the economic environment will be just like it was in Lot’s day in Sodom. There will be buying, selling, building, marrying, and planting—all the things that are “business as usual.” There will be no worldwide depression…no Tribulation as described in the book of Revelation.

I continue to contend that, even though my Margaret and many of you are griping about the prices in the grocery stores and at the gas stations, it is still business as usual—just as it was in Sodom those thousands of years ago.

Here is an excerpt of that fact:

Last week’s blockbuster jobs report, with more than 265,000 jobs added when including upward employment revisions, was very welcome news to almost all Americans. The exception would be the economists of the left who, throughout Donald Trump’s now-five-and-a-half years in the White House, keep getting the economy dead wrong…

Meanwhile, there is a construction boom going on in America driven by new spending on plants, factory equipment, road building and data center construction.

Manufacturing is roaring back. The Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturing index, which tracks factory activity across America, has registered the sector’s fourth straight month of expansion — the best numbers in four years. In sum: America is MAKING things again…

Yes, prices remain stubbornly high, and we are all feeling the pain at the pump and the grocery checkout counter. Consumers and voters are still in a cranky mood.

But the rapid rise in investment spending by businesses and the America-led AI and tech boom are likely to drive productivity up and prices down.

If history is any judge, it’s wise to bet on the Trump economy and against his critics — who have a perfect record of being wrong.

So on the eve of our 250th birthday, America is once again the world’s alpha male economy. The rest of the world looks at the U.S. economy with envy. (“Trump’s Critics Dead Wrong [Again] on the Economy,” posted on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, by Stephen Moore, AMAC)

And a later advisory of economic uptick reports the following:

According to Department of Labor data highlighted by Breitbart News, the average weekly paycheck for a nonsupervisory durable goods manufacturing worker is up 7.4 percent from a year ago. Hourly pay has increased 5.3 percent, and workers are putting in more hours as demand for labor grows. Even after accounting for inflation, real weekly pay is up approximately 3.5 percent while real hourly pay has risen about 1.5 percent. Those gains are significant because they represent something factory workers have rarely seen over the past several decades: meaningful increases in purchasing power. (“Blue-Collar Boom: Factory Workers See Their Best Gains in Generations,” https://trump2028.news/blue-collar-boom-factory-workers-see-their-best-gains-in-generations/?lctg=%%$lisubscriberid%% )

So, because it is “business as usual,” like in the days of Lot in Sodom, I see this time as more dangerous than does the writer of The Rapture Verdict. It is a more dangerous time for those who will be left behind to face the most terrible time in all of human history, according to the Lord Jesus (Matthew 24: 21). The pre-Trib Rapture will remove the righteous, and Antichrist will soon become history’s most evil and deadly tyrant during those seven years of Tribulation.

The evidence points to this being a time like the days when Lot in Sodom faced a wicked and evil generation of anti-God, reprobate thinkers. Like in Sodom, the economy was at the same time on a very high economic scale.

We are told by Paul the apostle, as given in 1 Thessalonians 4:18, that we are to “comfort one another” with the truth of the pre-Trib Rapture he had just prophesied.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
