Researchers in Top U.S. Labs Have Ties to Chinese Communist Party
A new report has identified at least 21 Chinese nationals working in U.S. universities and federally funded labs whose backgrounds make them “a likely asset to the Chinese Communist Party.” The shocking development raises immediate national security concerns as evidence mounts that Beijing is using access to U.S. taxpayer-funded research to advance its military capabilities and erode America’s economic edge.

The Muslim Brotherhood movement is a “threat to national cohesion” in France, according to a confidential government report to be examined by the Defence Council on Wednesday. The report pointed to the spread of Islamism “from the bottom up”, and said the phenomenon was gradually eroding secular values at the local level.

US urges Iran to accept Trump’s proposal in nuclear talks
It would be “very wise” for Iran to agree to Donald Trump’s proposal in negotiations with the United States. That is the message from the White House. Diplomacy is “always President Trump’s first option,” says White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, adding that “it would be very wise for Iran” to reach an agreement. Otherwise, the message is that the US may attack Iran. “There are many arguments to be made for an attack,” Leavitt says.

Pope will not participate in Trump’s peace council
The Holy See is refusing due to the “special nature” of the council, which is clearly not based on the participation of states, Vatican Secretary of State Pietro Parolin said, according to Vatican News. One concern is that the Peace Council could challenge the role of the UN.

Jewish and Christian Zionists unite to defend Israel on 8th war front at first Judeo Christian Zionist Congress
“What we need to do going forward is to reclaim the narrative of our history, of our Judeo-Christian values, of Western democracy.” This message was the overarching tone at the first Judeo-Christian Zionist Congress (JCZC), held in Nashville, Tennessee, this week, as articulated by American actress Patricia Heaton, one of several prominent figures lending her voice and popularity to the new initiative.

While VP Vance touts progress in Iran talks, US and Israel prepare for military option
U.S. Vice President JD Vance said that while the negotiations in Geneva, Switzerland went well, Iran is apparently unwilling to acknowledge certain “red lines” of U.S. President Donald Trump. “The United States has certain red lines,” Vance told Fox News. “Our primary interest here is we don’t want Iran to get a nuclear weapon. We don’t want nuclear proliferation.” Vance indicated that the United States is still interested in pursuing diplomatic means for a deal, even while building up a significant military presence in the Middle East.

Trump attack on Iran appears imminent — Evangelical Johnnie Moore expects Trump to utterly vanquish Iran’s offensive capabilities
There is growing evidence — and lots of speculation by Mideast experts, military analysts, and journalists — that an attack could happen in the coming hours or days. Sources for ALL ISRAEL NEWS keep using the word “imminently.”The Israel Defense Forces are on the highest possible alert. And U.S. military forces, naval forces, and anti-ballistic missile forces are in the region and appear to be set.

Israel boosts security nationwide as Ramadan begins amid regional and internal tensions
The month of Ramadan began this morning in Israel under heightened security across the country. Authorities have boosted readiness in Jerusalem, reinforced the Commando Brigade in Judea and Samaria [the West Bank], and deployed a significant strengthening of forces along the seam line, while the IDF remains on alert amid tensions with Iran and the possibility of regional escalation.

The Lost Tribes are coming home, but first, they must leave Egypt behind
have been blessed to get to know hundreds of Christians who read my articles because they feel spiritually drawn to Israel. This may seem counterintuitive. Yes, Jesus was Jewish, an undeniable fact that many Christians have difficulty coming to terms with. Replacement theology, one of the pillars of Catholicism and Protestantism, tries to erase the nation of Israel from the Bible and replace elements of Judaism. But suddenly, the fulfillment of God’s promise to return His people to the land of Israel posed an existential threat to the theological basis of Christianity as the replacement of the Jewish people in the covenant.

Satellite images show Iran reinforcing military and nuclear sites hit in Israeli and U.S. strikes
Satellite images show Iran has moved to reinforce a range of military and nuclear-related facilities damaged in Israeli and U.S. strikes, undertaking construction and repair projects that analysts say are intended to shield key infrastructure as diplomatic engagement with Washington continues. At the Parchin military complex, imagery indicates that a structure reportedly hit by Israel in October 2024 has been sealed beneath a concrete layer and covered with soil, effectively masking it from aerial observation.

Syrians back peace deal with Israel, resent Hezbollah’s presence – poll
A plurality of Syrians back normalizing relations with Israel, ending the state of war that has persisted since 1948, a new poll shows, while the vast majority of the country expressed resentment toward the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah’s presence in their country. On Tuesday, the Council for a Secure America released the results from polls conducted in Lebanon and Syria in January by the YouGov polling institute. The poll found that nearly two-thirds (64%) of Syrians support Damascus signing a new security deal with Israel, up from 60% in a similar poll conducted in October.

Israel’s man on the Board of Peace
When Israeli billionaire real estate magnate Yakir Gabay received a call last fall at his home in Cyprus from Jared Kushner asking him to join U.S. President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace, he accepted it with aplomb.

US Energy Secretary: We will stop Iran’s nuclear march one way or the other
The United States will prevent the Islamic Republic of Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons “one way or the other,” US Energy Secretary Chris Wright warned on Wednesday. Speaking at an International Energy Agency (IAEA) meeting in Paris and quoted by AFP, Wright underscored the administration’s unwavering stance against Tehran’s nuclear ambitions. US President Donald Trump “believes firmly we cannot have a nuclear-armed Iran,” Wright stated. “They’ve been very clear about what they would do with nuclear weapons. It’s entirely unacceptable.”

F-22s in the sky, Tomahawks at sea: How a US strike on Iran could begin
Trump has sent a ‘beautiful armada’ of fighter jets, warships, submarines and aircraft carriers to the Middle East; officials warn it could soon act, with carriers able to launch thousands of sorties and Tomahawk strikes deep into Iran

Iran urges Hezbollah to enter potential war, Israel sends clear message
Unlike during the 12-day war, Tehran now wants the Shiite terrorist group to take part in any future confrontation with Israel, and Israeli officials have warned Hezbollah that if it intervenes the blow will be very painful, while also preparing for possible involvement by the Houthis and other Iranian proxies

GOP Demands Investigation, Arrest After Soros-Backed Philly DA Vows To ‘Hunt Down’ ICE Agents
Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner is under fire after saying he would “hunt down” federal immigration agents, remarks that have prompted a Republican congressman to call for a criminal investigation. Krasner made the comments during a public appearance at Penn Square last week, where he described ICE agents as “a small bunch of wannabe Nazis.” He added, “if we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities.”

Turkey Accuses European Parliament Of ‘Interference’ Amid Mounting Scrutiny Over Expulsions Of Christians
The Turkish government has formally rejected the European Parliament’s recent resolution condemning targeted expulsions from the country “carried out under unsubstantiated national-security pretexts and without due process” for foreign Christians, in addition to journalists. The European Parliament adopted the resolution by an overwhelming margin (502 votes in favor and 2 against) signaling broad cross-party concern over what lawmakers described as the misuse of national security frameworks to restrict fundamental rights, including freedom of religion.

Floods during 2025–26 rainy season leave 223 dead and 860,000 affected across Mozambique
This has occurred since October 2025, according to the National Institute for Disaster Management and Risk Reduction (INGD). Heavy rainfall, river overflows, and cyclone impacts have displaced more than 392,000 people, destroyed thousands of homes, and inundated over 554,000 ha (1.37 million acres) of agricultural land.

Now They Are Actually Admitting There Is A Massive “Gravity Hole” Underneath Antarctica?
For decades, we were told to ignore strange reports about Antarctica. Experts said nothing unusual was going on, nothing to be concerned about. We couldn’t go investigate for ourselves, because there are 72 areas of Antarctica only those with a special permit are allowed to enter. And if you try to fly to Antarctica without authorization, you will get into all sorts of trouble.

US Withdrawing All Forces from Syria, Over a Year After Regime Change By Proxy War
US forces, after many years, has withdrawn from the Al-Tanf Garrison base in southern Syria near the border of Iraq and Jordan. US troops had long operated out of Tanf to pressure Assad’s gov’t as part of the long-running US-backed regime change project. We primarily trained and funded the Syrian Free Army – an umbrella group of various factions, among them jihadists.

Mamdani Taps ‘Abolish ICE’ Activist/Former CAIR Employee Faiza Ali as NYC’s New Chief Immigration Officer
He put a chicken hawk in charge of the hen house. Islamo-communist NYC Mayor Mamdani has done just that once again by tapping Faiza Ali as commissioner of the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs. She’s a rabid “Abolish ICE” activist with a long history of cop hatred. She also used to work for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a front for Muslim terrorists.

US Pentagon Moves to Blacklist Anthropic AI for Refusing to Spy on Americans
The US Dept of Defense is considering blacklisting one of America’s leading AI companies after it refused to let military use its technology without ethical limits. Anthropic says usage limits are essential to protect against mass surveillance and creating autonomous weapons. The Pentagon is reportedly considering designating the company a “supply chain risk” and severing ties.

Final Pieces Moving Into Place for Potential Attack on Iran
A large wave of American airpower is heading toward the Middle East to bolster forces already there as President Trump considers an attack against Iran. Online flight trackers show Raptors, Fighting Falcons, Sentry radar planes, and a spy plane in transit across the Atlantic or newly arrived in Europe. In addition, a guided missile destroyer.

Satellite images reportedly show Iran repairing and fortifying sites amid US tensions
Iran recently built a concrete shield over a new facility at a sensitive military site and covered it in soil, advancing work at a location bombed by Israel in 2024 amid tensions with the US. Iran also buried tunnel entrances at a nuclear site bombed by the US during Israel’s 12-day war with Iran, fortified tunnel entrances near another, and repaired missile bases struck in the conflict.

Surprising Revival: Gen Z Men & Highly Educated Lead Return to Religion
For the first time in decades, Pew Research notes, in the U.S. at least, Christianity has stopped its nosedive as more people begin to see the efficacy and the rewards of religious faith and practice. One startling finding in America and abroad is that, contrary to past assertions, today the faithful are not poor and ignorant but increasingly from the educated upper middle class.

Author’s note: We continue with the series first posted in 2007.

We’ve seen that Jesus warned that the time of His coming again to planet Earth will be “as it was in the days of Noah.” That is, the characteristics of the end-time generation will be like they were in the days presented in Genesis chapter 6. When we look at that chapter, we conclude that it was surely a terrifying time. This must have been true, especially for Noah and his seven family members while the time just before the Flood surrounded them. But the whole generation of earth-dwellers lived under threat of violence; violence filled the whole earth, God’s Word reports (Genesis 6: 11, 13). Even though business was moving along at a good, even accelerated pace, violence–terroristic activity—filled the earth.

Does this sound familiar? What did the president call the war declared upon an almost unidentifiable enemy following the 9/11 attacks? That’s correct, he called it “the war on terrorism.” And now the whole international community is uptight about the possibility of ramifications of the terror–the violence—that threatens to ignite war in the Middle East.

Every time such sparks begin to fly, members of the media begin to contact Todd and me, as well as others who have studied and expounded upon Armageddon and the “end of days,” as media like to frame the end time. Violence of the deadliest sort fills the world with terror, and the cry for peace and safety from media and government diplomatic types proves it.

Jesus also said in His Luke 17 prophecies that things of society and economy would be pretty much business as usual at the time of His return at the end of days. People will be eating and drinking. Men and women will be marrying and divorcing, just like nothing fearful was going on in their world. Daniel the prophet said that great progress would be made in technology, travel, and communications at the time of the end (Daniel 12).

Again, does any of this sound familiar? As we can see from the strength of the American economy, things are booming, despite the fact that we are now a debtor nation at an unprecedented level. The United States is inarguably the most materially blessed nation-state in the history of the world. The greatest king of Bible times lived nowhere near the level of luxury and comfort that even lower-middle-class Americans have today.

So, in that sense, business is going along, in this country at least, better than merely business as usual. It is just at such a time as described that Jesus will step out on the clouds of glory and shout, “Come up hither!”

Bible prophecy tells us that the day of the Lord will come (will begin) as a thief in the night. A thief suddenly breaks in. He doesn’t say, “Hey! I’m coming to break in!” That’s how we can know that the thief-in-the-night analogy is for another coming, not for the Second Advent–the time when Jesus’ foot will touch down on the Mount of Olives, which will then cleave in half and create a rift all the way to the Mediterranean. Nearly two-thirds of the world’s population will have perished in God’s full-blown wrath by the time of that Revelation 19:11 return to Earth. Everyone on the planet still alive will see Christ coming.

The coming as a thief reference is to the Rapture. It will be sudden, it will be stunning, and it will be catastrophic.

Let’s look at the potential calamitous things that will likely immediately follow the twinkling-of-an-eye intervention into this humanistic, last-days world of earth-dwellers.

In the United States, a young mother pregnant with her second child and with a small daughter riding in the basket, will be walking down an aisle in a supermarket.

A truck driver will be steering a semi-tractor/trailer rig onto a superhighway to merge with the heavy traffic flow.

A 757 captain will push the throttles to full power, headed down a runway at JFK in New York.

A surgeon at a major hospital in Minnesota will begin to make the initial scalpel cut that will open a heart patient’s chest for a bypass procedure.

A funeral director will straighten the collar of a starched white shirt worn by a corpse, whose funeral is next on the services schedule.

In less than the time it takes for a neuroelectric synapse firing in the brain to take place, the young mother’s womb is empty. She sees her little girl vanish as she, herself, starts her fall to the floor from the shock of the physiological changes taking place in her body.

The 18-wheeler is careening into the traffic, driverless, out of control, crushing and demolishing vehicles and their passengers while raging ahead in its ungoverned course.

The 757 on the JFK runway is at full take-off speed, but the pilot and copilot are not at the controls, while the right wingtip dips toward the runway and catastrophe.

The surgeon in Minnesota finds the scalpel cutting air rather than flesh because the patient is gone.

The funeral director staggers backwards, astonished because the burial apparel he has been making just right for presentation has collapsed, and the corpse is no longer in the casket.

We will have to leave until next time those scenario snippets as still-frame snapshots of the paradigm-changing dynamics of the Rapture. Those will geometrically burgeon from the instant this stunning event takes place. It will be the most powerful occurrence of human history since Christ’s First Advent intervened into the affairs of humankind.
