Soros-Backed Radical Leftist DAs Vow To ‘Hunt Down’ ICE Agents, Smearing Them As ‘Wannabe Nazis’
Amidst the calls to execute President Trump and hang White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller, Soros-backed leftist district attorneys have decided to hunt down ICE agents, whom they have branded as “wannabe Nazis.” Billionaire George Soros is reportedly funding the coalition, pushing his legion of DAs to prosecute federal immigration agents in their jurisdictions.

Will the US use cyberwarfare to ‘help’ Iranian protesters?
Analysts and experts have been trying to ascertain if that intervention would come as physical strikes in the country, or as something more subtle. Restricting internet access to protesters has been a key tactic used by Iranian authorities to curb dissent and limit information flowing in and out of the country. Shahin Modarres, a specialist on Iran at the International Team for the Study of Security Verona, says attacking Iranian authorities’ internet presence could be a probable tactic for the US. “The preferred solution would be a limited, precise intervention on the headquarters of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards so that people in the streets can continue to mobilise,”

US envoy: Full, unrestricted access to Greenland a must
“The reality is that no country, no group of countries, has the capacity to secure Greenland without the United States,” Landry, who is also governor of Louisiana, writes … Landry praises the framework for the island that Trump presented at the World Economic Forum last week and writes that it will strengthen the security of Greenland, NATO and the United States.

Sam Altman Says AI Will Cause Massive Deflation, Making Money Worth Vastly More
Altman remained characteristically bullish about what his company’s tech will soon offer to the world. When asked if AI can be used to “solve economic gaps that have existed for decades,” the executive argued that it’s “going to be massively deflationary.” ..As a result of this deflationary pressure, Altman promised that things would get “radically cheaper” and the “empowerment of individual people” will go up as money becomes more valuable

IDF warns Hamas is rebuilding by stealing aid, calls to limit truck deliveries ahead of Rafah crossing reopening
The amount of aid entering the enclave through border crossings as well as other smuggling routes has contributed to the significant economic strengthening of Hamas in recent months, the IDF warned.

European parliament votes to list IRGC as terror organization as EU moves to impose new sanctions on Iran 
European foreign ministers voted to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terror organization on Thursday, following significant lobbying efforts after the deadly crackdowns by the Iranian regime on protesters. The move was expected after several countries which had previously opposed such a step indicated their willingness to do so over the past few days. “This will put them on the same footing with al-Qaeda, Hamas, Daesh (ISIS),”

Iranian official threatens strike ‘to the heart of Tel Aviv’ in case the US attacks the regime 
Writing on 𝕏 both in Persian and in Hebrew, Ali Shamkhani, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council and one of the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s closest aides, said, “A limited [US] strike is an illusion. Any military action by America, of any kind and at any level, will be considered the start of a war, and the response will be immediate, comprehensive, and unprecedented, directed at the aggressor, at the heart of Tel Aviv, and at all who support the aggressor.”

Rabbi Anava: Trump’s geopolitical moves are divine messages for Jewish repentance
Speaking to a packed audience, the rabbi connected Trump’s capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, threats against Iran, and the Greenland crisis to ancient prophecies—and issued a stark warning to Jews worldwide. The question Rabbi Anava posed cuts to the core: Why is God orchestrating this global drama? “According to Torah teaching, when you become a king, president, or ruler, you lose your free choice. It’s 100% Hashem,” Rabbi Anava explained. “Kings and leaders don’t have free choice—their decisions are guided by divine will.” This principle transforms how we must view Trump’s actions—not as political strategy, but as divine messaging.

U.S. sends additional warship to Middle East amid Iran tensions
The U.S. Navy has sent an additional warship to the Middle East, a U.S. official told Reuters on Thursday, amid a large military buildup in the region and soaring tensions. the USS Delbert D.

IDF intel, Mossad chiefs recently visit US in one-two punch for advice on handling Iran
His visit came almost immediately after the critical call between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump on January 14 in which, according to foreign sources, Netanyahu urged Trump to delay attacking Iran until more American forces were deployed in the region – both for offensive operations and for defending Israel. Binder met with top US military officials this Tuesday and Wednesday, just as the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier group arrived in the region

From secret satellites to civilian services: Israel’s space industry reinvents itself
For decades, Israel’s space industry operated largely out of public view: small, defense-oriented, closed, and focused primarily on the state’s strategic needs. Satellites, communications systems, and sensors were developed mainly for the defense establishment, sometimes in collaboration with civilian entities, but almost always under a veil of secrecy and with minimal exposure to commercial markets. That picture is now beginning to change.

Iran’s Slaughter Of Civillians Reaches Unprecedented Heights As Fiery Warnings Sound From America And Israel
There is still a huge volume of bodies coming to Tehran. The estimates of protesters slaughtered by the Iranian government range from 30,000 to 80,000. Many were shot in the streets, others were killed in hospitals, and still more were unofficially executed in jails and prisons. By far this is the largest slaughter of a civilian population by its government in this century. But the leftist marchers around the world seem to either be silent or just too busy protesting against Israel and ICE to worry about tens of thousands of dead Iranians who were risking their lives for their rights

Tucker Carlson Accuses Tim Walz And Jacob Frey Of Orchestrating A ‘Color Revolution’ And Civil War
“Why would a state refuse to protect American citizens from murder, refuse to give the names or whereabouts of murderers and child molesters, and refuse to use its own cops to keep riots under control? What could possibly be the answer?” “Because they want riots, that’s why,” Carlson answered.

Unprecedented: Trump Gets Putin To Halt Strikes On Kiev For One Week In Call
In a surprising Thursday development, President Trump has claimed that Russia agreed to pause strikes on the Ukrainian capital and some other cities “for a week” – a decision he said came after direct personal intervention with Russian President Vladimir Putin. If accurate, this could represent a huge advance in the direction of peace, given the positive precedent it sets. “Because of the extreme cold…I personally asked President Putin not to fire on Kiev and the cities and towns for a week,” Trump told reporters during a cabinet meeting. According to Trump, Putin “agreed to do that,” adding that “we’re very happy” with the outcome.

No Deal With Iran! An Apocalyptic “Regime Change War” Appears To Be Imminent, And Everyone Is Bracing For The Worst
It appears an apocalyptic war is about to begin in the Middle East, yet most people living in the Western world don’t seem alarmed. They should be because once the missiles start flying, the death and destruction we’ll witness will shock the entire globe.  The nuts running Iran fully understand the goal this time will be to bring their regime to an end, and they’ll throw everything they’ve got at us in a desperate attempt to survive.

Just Like We Witnessed During The Great Recession And The Great Depression, Economic Activity Is Slowing Down All Around Us As Chaos Breaks Out In The Financial Markets
When the economy and the financial system are greatly shaken at the same time, consequences can be extremely painful. It’s rare for a major economic crisis and a major financial crisis to occur simultaneously like we witnessed during the Great Recession and Great Depression. Unfortunately, it appears this is precisely the type of scenario we’re now facing.

WEF calls for “cultural revolution” to push fake meat 
The World Economic Forum is calling for a “cultural revolution” to increase acceptance of lab-grown meat, despite public resistance to the products…. But far from being beneficial to consumers, the fake meat agenda is really about global oligarchs taking control of the food supply, irrespective of the negative impacts on the environment and health.

Soros-Backed Radical Leftist DAs Vow To ‘Hunt Down’ ICE Agents, Smearing Them As ‘Wannabe Nazis’

End-of-Days Scenarios: Part 2 :: By Terry James

Again, I state that the end-of-days scenarios I lay out in this essay are speculation based upon my years of prayer, study, observations, and thought. I’m sure there are many who view things to come in a much different way, even among those of us who hold to the premillennial, pre-Tribulation view. So, I present this for your consideration as a likely possibility, not as set in biblical stone.

First, let’s look at the way the world is configured.

The United States of America is the world’s lone superpower. Whether looking at military, economic, societal, technological, or whatever category we want to look at, America stands alone at the top of the nation-heap. I use the word “heap” because this world is built upon garbage—filth from the heart and mind of its father, the devil. Boy! I know how cynical that seems. But God says no one is good but One: “And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none good but one, [that is], God” (Mark 10:18). 

Since sin entered the world, humanity has been fallen. Humankind must have redemption found only in God, the Son. People must be born again or they cannot even see the kingdom of God: “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3).

Jesus’ words here have dual meaning to me: 1) those who refuse Christ by rejecting their need for a new, spiritual birth will not go to Heaven upon death; and 2) they cannot even understand Heaven and things of God without the new birth into God’s family. I base the latter assessment upon the following words of the Apostle Paul: “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Corinthians 2:14).

This is going to sound even more off-putting, but it is true, nonetheless. Christians are the only “good” in this downward-spiraling world. Now, am I saying that I, in my fleshly efforts, am better than the one who does not claim Christ as Savior and Lord? No, absolutely not! I must say that, in one regard, I am like Paul—not his lovely Christian side, rather the other. Paul said: “For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh), dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but [how] to perform that which is good I find not” (Romans 7:18).

Only through Christ is anyone viewed as “good” in God’s sight. Only through Jesus does a person become fit to inherit an eternal home in Heaven.

All humanly born and humanly devised matters are due for God’s judgment and for eternity apart from God because He cannot abide sin. Sin must be dealt with, and Jesus is the way sin is forever eradicated.

When it comes to the future, all hinges upon the person and presence of Jesus Christ as Redeemer.

So, why all that to get to the speculation of what will happen from here to eternity? Because Christians are the key in my stream-of-consciousness, unfolding scenarios for the end of days. God’s final wrath and judgment will not begin falling until the only good there is in this world is removed. This truth is found in the words of the Apostle Paul to the Thessalonians: “For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thessalonians 5:9).

When Christians are removed in the Rapture (read 1 Corinthians 15:51-55 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18), the things on earth will change dramatically. We get a prophetic glimpse of the removal of Christians from the planet in Paul’s additional words to the Thessalonians: “And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way” (2 Thessalonians 2:6-7).

The word “he” in verse 7 refers to God the Holy Spirit removing from His office as He interacted with humankind during the Age of Grace (Church Age–which is this present dispensation). The Holy Spirit, resident in the Church during this dispensation, will, in the moment of Rapture, no longer work in the same way as now. He will interact with humans much as He did during the time before the Church was born at Pentecost (Acts, chapter 2). (I know some believe the Church was born on the shores of Galilee earlier, when Christ called forth the first disciples. I disagree.)

The Holy Spirit living within Christians is the only “good” to be found in people. The Rapture will take that “good” to be with Jesus Christ for eternity.

All who are “born again” (see John 3:3) will go to their heavenly homes (dwelling places) Jesus has been preparing for them since He ascended to the right hand of God the Father (read John 14:1-3). These will include everyone–dead and living—who has accepted Christ for salvation of their souls. No good people will be left on the planet–that is, none that are “good” in God’s holy view.

With the Holy Spirit no longer acting to influence the consciences of humans in ways as powerful as He does at present, human actions and reactions will be exponentially accelerated for the worse.

We will begin to explore likely scenarios for the period immediately following the Rapture in next week’s commentary.
