A Soviet Spacecraft Is Falling Back To Earth – There’s Just One Problem
We’re likely less than two weeks from a former Soviet Union spacecraft re-entering Earth’s atmosphere, but there’s a problem: nobody knows where it’s going to land – and it looks like it’s going to land, rather than burning up in the atmosphere.

Mysterious port blast ‘reduced Iran’s leverage’
The economic toll of these incidents appeared substantial, with one senior Iranian official estimating on May 5 that the damage from the first Bandar Abbas port explosion alone exceeded $3 billion. A rash of unexplained blazes and blasts at sensitive industrial, port and alleged Islamic Republican Guard Corps-linked facilities across the Islamic Republic of Iran in recent days raised questions about internal security, regime competence, and potential covert actions.

Israeli Border Police operate in Syria for the first time ever
For the first time in its history, Border Police officers are operating in Syrian territory as part of an operational mission amid recent events on the northern border. On Wednesday, the Commander of the Border Police, Berik Yitzhak, and Judea and Samaria Border Police Commander Nisso Guetta visited the village of Khader in southern Syria, where Border Police forces have been operating to maintain public order and prevent riots.

The official said that Trump is growing frustrated with Israel’s approach and that he intends to push on with a deal, regardless of Israel’s position.
A senior American official delivered unusually sharp criticism of Israel’s conduct in hostage negotiations and warned that the United States is prepared to finalize a regional agreement with Saudi Arabia, even without Israeli participation, N12 reported on Wednesday. According to the report, the remarks were made during a meeting Monday night between the official and the families of hostages held by Hamas. According to several people who attended, the US official said that Washington is growing increasingly frustrated with Israel’s approach to the stalled talks. The comments appeared to leave the families shaken,

Why Is Duke Letting an Anti-Israel Hate Monger Teach — and Why Are Leaders Not Investigating?
Frances Hasso is Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department of Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies at Duke “with secondary appointments in the Department of History and the Department of Sociology.” In 2024, she excitedly announced on X, “HAMAS OFFICIALLY DEFEATS ISRAEL!” In 2024 and 2025, Hasso repeatedly made social media posts using the antisemitic slur “Zio.” For example, she tweeted “Just another Zio grifter. “‘Zio” [is] an anti-Jewish slur popularized by David Duke and his neo-Nazi followers.”

Iran’s Demonic Ambitions To Annihilate Israel Will Not Cease With The Dismantlement Of Its Nuclear Program
“Israel will only agree to a nuclear deal with Iran that eliminates Tehran’s capacity to enrich uranium,” JNS cited the Prime Minister as saying. “The only way to prevent the Islamic Republic from building a nuclear weapon is to dismantle ‘all the infrastructure of Iran’s nuclear program… That is the deal.’”
Netanyahu went on to say, “[Israel] cannot live with anything short of that—anything short of that could bring you the opposite result, because Iran will say, all right, I won’t enrich, wait, run out the clock, wait for another president, do it again.”

Trump HHS Releases Sweeping Report Condemning Puberty Blockers, Sex-Change Surgeries For Minors
The 400-page document, titled “Treatment for Pediatric Gender Dysphoria: Review of Evidence and Best Practices,” was released last week following an executive order from President Trump in January aimed at prohibiting medical gender procedures for children and teenagers suffering from gender dysphoria. HHS’ report was critical of both medicinal interventions like cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers, as well as various surgeries, including cosmetic procedures intended to make young people look more like the opposite sex. Instead, it calls for broader use of psychotherapy for kids and teens struggling with gender identity.

THE CENTENNIAL GLEISSBERG CYCLE:
The Gleissberg Cycle is a slower modulation, which suppresses sunspot numbers every 80 to 100 years. For the past ~15 years, the sun has been near a low point in this cycle, but this is about to change. New research published in the journal Space Weather suggests that the Gleissberg Cycle is waking up again. If this is true, solar cycles for the next 50 years could become increasingly intense. It turns out that protons in the South Atlantic Anomaly are a “canary in a coal mine” for the Gleissberg Cycle.

Competition In Education: Texas Signs School Choice Vouchers Into Law
Governor Greg Abbott has just signed school choice vouchers into law after a long fought legislative battle. Abbott signed the school choice bill on May 3rd, allowing for taxpayer money to be used to help qualifying students pay for private school tuition.

“The Fourth Turning Is Now Raging…” And Neil Howe Warns “It’s Gone Global”
History tells us that civilizations and societies boom, bust and rise anew to repeat the pattern – a pattern that demographer Neil Howe says is surprisingly predictable in both its timing and trajectory. Howe refers to these “seasons” of societal change as “turnings”, and has famously has declared America is now well into a Fourth Turning, the “bust” part of its cycle – where the status quo falls apart – often chaotically – and is replaced by a brand new order.

VP JD Vance: America’s Current Security Posture Is Insufficient To Meet 2030 Challenges
He emphasized the need for the U.S. to rethink and modernize its national defense strategy to address emerging global threats, including a world fracturing into a bipolar state and the weaponization of supply chains by foreign adversaries. Wolfgang Ischinger—the former German ambassador to the U.S. and longtime chair of the conference—asked VP Vance whether the Trump administration sees the U.S. as a continued “European power.” The vice president’s response reaffirmed that the U.S. and Europe remain fundamentally aligned, describing them as part of the same “civilizational team.”

Is This Really The ‘Very, Very Big Announcement’ Ahead Of Trump’s Mideast Trip?
This is apparently, or likely, the ‘very, very big announcement’ the President Trump teased Tuesday
… and is expected to be fully revealed prior to his Monday trip to visit America’s Arab Gulf allies including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and UAE…? President Donald Trump’s administration reportedly plans to announce that the U.S. will officially call the Persian Gulf the Arabian Gulf or Gulf of Arabia, a move that would be welcomed by Arab Gulf leaders and likely draw anger from Iran.

China tests drone-based weather modification in Xinjiang
In an effort to tackle water shortages in Xinjiang, China has undertaken a successful drone-based cloud-seeding experiment to enhance rainfall. The trial, conducted over a vast area of the Bayanbulak Grasslands, demonstrated moisture-laden positive results, with drones dispersing silver iodide to trigger precipitation. This approach aims to combat the region’s ongoing challenges with desertification and glacial retreat.

Real ID Is Not About Keeping You Safe
Today, after nearly two decades of implementation and delays, the federal government’s new identification requirements for traveling by plane domestically or entering federal buildings technically go into effect. This federally-compliant ID card—known as Real ID—can only be attained with specific records and documents laid out by the federal government. It’s labeled by a black or gold star in the upper right corner.

Islamic Pakistan: A Jihadist Threat the West Can’t Afford to Ignore
Islamic Pakistan – The West Needs to Take a Hard Look In the video below, we see thousands of everyday Pakistanis marching for a Pakistani terrorist eliminated by the Indian Armed Forces.

First Ramadan in churches, now kindergarten children taken to mosques to pray facing Mecca. In silence, European identity is being dismantled.

Be Not Enticed To Tyranny: Oppose The Surveillance State
A surveillance state is being erected around the American public at an alarming rate. In many urban and suburban settings, anyone traveling on public streets or sidewalks will have their image captured by the ubiquitous surveillance cameras. A leisurely stroll around the neighborhood, as well as any conversation along the way, might be recorded if the city uses surveillance-enabled street lights. Even our own front yards might not be safe from the prying eyes of the state if a neighbor has a “smart” doorbell that shares data with law enforcement.

Pakistan Closes Airspace For 48 Hours, Authorizes Response To Indian Attack Which “Ignited Inferno In Region”
Though aerial fighting between the nuclear-armed rivals does not appear to be sustained and ongoing at this point, Pakistan has closed its airspace for nearly all flights on Wednesday, in the aftermath of the Indian cross-border strikes which killed at least 26 people – including a 3-year-old girl – and wounded at least 46 other people, Pakistani authorities say based on the latest revised death toll. International carriers have also canceled flights to the region, and access to social media, including X, was temporarily blocked in Pakistan amid the assault. Heavy shelling is being reported along the Line of Control (LOC) separating the historic enemy nations.

Israeli Fighter Jets Dismantle Yemen’s Main Airport In Second Wave Of Retaliatory Strikes
I am in the US Capitol in Washington, DC, as part of an Israel advocacy summit. It is an incredible three-day event where hundreds of Christian and Jewish leaders are lobbying members of Congress, in both the House and Senate, to stand with Israel in the face of not only growing threats from Iran, the Houthis, Hamas, and Hezbollah, but also rising anti-semitism right here in America.

Covid injections linked to significant increases in stroke, heart attacks, coronary artery disease and arrhythmia, a new study of 85 million people finds
A study published in the International Journal of Preventative Medicine in March analysed the outcomes of other studies, which evaluated a combined total of 85 million people.  It showed a link between covid injections and an increase in various conditions: stroke (+240%), heart attack (+286%), coronary artery disease (+244%) and arrhythmia (+199%). This study adds to the ever-growing evidence of covid vaccine harms.

Antifa Terrorists Arrested After Violent Anti-Israel Occupation at University of Washington

Operation Sindoor: India Strikes Back Against Pakistan’s Terror Machine
On May 7, 2025, India launched Operation Sindoor, a calculated strike against terror camps within Pakistan-controlled territory. This decisive action was in direct response to the brutal Pahalgam massacre on April 22, where 27 Hindu tourists were executed by Pakistan-backed jihadists solely for not being Muslim.

Who Is Going To Use Nuclear Weapons First?
Will we soon witness the world’s first nuclear war?  Following nuclear-armed India’s attack on nuclear-armed Pakistan, media outlets all over the globe quickly published stories about the possibility of nuclear war.  In fact, this morning the main headline on the Drudge Report was “WORLD HOLDS BREATH” in all capital letters.  Yes, it is entirely possible that a nuclear war could erupt between India and Pakistan.  But will someone else use nuclear weapons first?

The Trade War Price Hikes Are Starting To Hit, And They Certainly Aren’t Small
When prices go up, our standard of living goes down. That is the way that it works. I have been writing quite a few articles about the shortages that the global trade war is going to cause in the months ahead. Without a doubt, they will be extremely painful. But there will also be very large price hikes in many cases, and some of those price hikes are already starting to hit. For example, Ford has just announced that the prices of some of their vehicles will be raised by as much as two thousand dollars…

On Pope Francis and Prophecy :: By Terry James

At the outset, I must be honest and say those of us who hold the Lord Jesus Christ as the One and Only Way to Heaven and God the Father came down hard on Pope Francis, who passed into Eternity on what is termed Easter Monday, April 21.

The reasons for our being against this pope go far beyond our belief that the Catholic Church puts forth false teaching that varies in demonically inspired ways. This particular pope, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who chose the name Francis upon being elected as Pontiff following the resignation of Pope Benedict in 2013, consistently stated views he held that directly indicated he didn’t understand Jesus Christ to be the One and Only Way to Salvation.

My long-time friend and great Bible Prophecy teacher and broadcaster Dr. David Reagan listed for us this pope’s missing the mark about the Lord Jesus Christ and the Salvation issue.

> In May of 2013, Pope Francis said that atheists could go to Heaven “if they lead good and honorable lives.”

> In July of 2013, when asked if homosexuals could serve as priests, he replied: “If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?”

> In November of 2015, he proclaimed that “Christians and Muslims are brothers and sisters.”

> In June 2016, Pope Francis issued his first video. In it, he expressed his belief that all the major religions are different paths to the same God. Following this shocking revelation, the video featured persons from different world religions expressing confidence in their various gods. The video then closed with the pope expressing his belief that regardless of religious profession, “we are all children of God.”

> In May of 2023, he emphasized “doing good” as the principle that unites all humanity. He added, “The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the blood of Christ — not just Catholics. Everyone! Even the atheists. Everyone! … We must meet one another doing good.”

> In December 2023, he authorized priests to bless same-sex couples.

> The apostasy of Pope Francis was reinforced recently when he boldly proclaimed that there are many different roads to God. He made this declaration while speaking in Singapore in September of 2024. Specifically, he said, “There’s only one God, and each of us has a language to arrive at God. Some are Sikh, Muslim, Hindu, Christian, and they are different paths [to God].” Actually, this was nothing new for him. It was simply a more precise definition of what he had proclaimed in his infamous video of June 2016.

> The Climax of Catholic Apostasy

> These outreaches to world religions, regardless of the gods they worship, have now come to a climax with Pope Francis’ proclamation that all religions are roads to the same God.

> This proclamation makes a mockery of the sacrifice of Jesus. It also makes Jesus a liar when He proclaimed, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me” (John 14:6). Further, it is directly contrary to the Apostle Peter’s declaration that “There is salvation in no one else [except Jesus]; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).

Source: ‘Doctrines of Demons’: Pope Francis Dies As The Most Influential And Dangerous False Teacher, Berean Review, article by Dr. David Reagan, founder of Lamb, Lion Ministry and Christ In Prophecy]

There is undeniable proof from this pope’s own words throughout his papacy, which tells us that he would greatly diminish, or even eliminate, the death, burial, and Resurrection of our Blessed Lord Jesus Christ.

Any other gospel…

Perhaps no other classification of prophetic indicators exhibits more ubiquitous/prolific such end-time signs in this generation than the category “other gospels.” The Scriptures are found back-to-back and are repeated by the Apostle Paul for emphasis.

“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any [man] preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed” (Gal. 1:8-9).

This specific prophetic warning for the last generation just before Christ’s return is again given by the great apostle and prophet, Paul:

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables” (2 Tim. 4:3-4).

Satan comes at this generation with a full, frontal assault that no Christian should fail to recognize. Tragically, most do miss the attacks, so wrapped in the entertainment hyperbole of the day are they, their eyes on the glitter and glitz of the Hollywood hucksters of lasciviousness.

Endtime Doctrines and Seducing Spirits

Again, God’s warning through Paul the apostle is clear about the matter. The endtime generation will experience a great increase in false doctrines that seduce the people of that era.

“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth” (1 Tim. 4:1-3).

Sadly, much of the replacement theology of our time –including that of the Catholic Church– is based in this satanic tripe because of the ignorance of those who hold to the belief that Israel no longer is heir to God’s promises to them. The blasphemy of claiming God would ever renege on an unconditional promise is held as doctrinal truth by major denominations within Christianity today. I believe it is one of the key elements of doctrinal integrity that will one day separate the Philadelphian Church from the Laodicean (read Rev. 3:7-19).

It is incredible that we could come to this point in the perversion of God’s truth. But, here we are, right on schedule in relationship to all other prophetic signs of the times, so far as God’s prophetic Word is concerned.

As disturbing as these blasphemies are, there are others far more troubling, in my view. They are far more troubling because they come, supposedly, from within Christianity. The most egregious examples are the new Bible versions based upon texts other than the authorized.

There isn’t space to go into detail here, but the new “Bibles” that tone down the blood atonement of Christ, His death, burial, and resurrection, or that relegate God to gender-neutral status rather than acknowledging Him in the masculine –that try to present a message that we shouldn’t concern ourselves with things like judgment, punishment, or Hell –that we shouldn’t concern ourselves with Christ’s coming again and the prophetic Word, are not Heaven-sent but hell-spawned.

Let us not be deceived by those who seek to diminish Jesus Christ in any form. Let’s not fall for any other gospel, but be fortified and edified by that once given –the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy (Rev. 19:10). That is essential to understand in this last time.
