“But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased” (Daniel 12:4).

Apostasy and Doctrines of Demons

Marxism Was Directly Founded Upon the Anti-God Teachings of Darwinism. Marxism is fast becoming a dominant ideology in the West, even among many professing Christians (whether they understand that or not). Marxism has its roots in the teachings of Charles Darwin (itself founded upon the unbiblical secular timeline of supposed “millions of years” of Earth’s history), which, of course, many in the church have adopted.

China Moves to Formally End Christian Missionary Activity – imposing severe restrictions on Christian missionary activity, arguing loyalty to the Party usurps all other beliefs and credos.

Have You Heard About the Absolutely Horrifying Things Being Done to Christians in China?
Freedom of religion does not exist there. Those that do wish to worship as they please must do it in secret, and if they’re discovered, consequences can be extremely severe.

Hatred of Jews and Israel

Elite university under fire as ‘hateful’ anti-Israel agitators disrupt event, target students. A lecture at Princeton University by former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett was cut short this week after protests erupted both inside and outside the event, with Jewish students reporting targeted slurs and hateful rhetoric from demonstrators. One Princeton student says anti-Israel protesters called her ‘inbred swine’ and told her to ‘go back to Europe.’

How Many of These Insane Freaks Does the Left Have? When you have no conscience, self-control, or standard other than “every man does that which is right in his own eyes,” there is no final, absolute moral stopping place. And as populations grow and atheism and amorality are taught widely and constantly, more and more insanity, perversion, and freaks will arise. Hence, we have the Left, the Democratic Party in America.

And the Abortion Abomination

Alex Marlow: ‘Sinister’: Democrats Rebrand Abortions as ‘Averted Births.’ Marlow, editor in chief of Breitbart News, stated, “A Colorado Democrat said birth is more expensive than abortion, and they’re calling [abortions] now averted births.’ So, this is anti-human, … if you’re talking about, basically, the life of a human being as just an economic problem. Remember this: the left sees everything as a money issue.”

Exposing Last Days Treachery

DOGE Is Shining a Light on Waste, also Uncovering Criminal Activity in Highest Levels of Gov’t. Elon Musk’s team just discovered that millions of illegals who snuck across the southern border were getting social security from the Biden regime. There were even some who voted in 2024. “In 2021, you see 270,000 people. [It] goes all the way to 2.1 million in 2024. These are non-citizens getting social security numbers. Also see Dem states to blame for most of the nearly $400 million in unemployment fraud over last 4 years, DOGE says.

Justifying Murder: Eye-Opening Study Reveals Rapidly Growing ‘Assassination Culture’ In America. A study recently conducted by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) and Rutgers University’s Social Perception Lab found that half of those classified as politically “left of center” believe the assassination of President Trump (55.2%) and Elon Musk (48.6%) would be at least somewhat justifiable.

What Democrats Stand For In Their Own Words. Democrats have become the pro-war party of domestic terrorism and lawlessness. Their brand is toxic, and their leaders are totally lost.

Conclusion

With Each Passing Day, The Words of Biblical Prophecy Come More Clearly into Focus. God’s Word shouts with the message that we live in the season of Jesus’ appearing. The wise understand the times because they believe the words of Scripture pertaining to the end times.

“See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is” (Ephesians 5:15-17).

Discerning Doha

My shoulders sagged this week when I read that the hapless Middle Easty envoy appointed by Donald Trump—Steve Witkoff—will be leading negotiations with Iran this week in the capital city of Qatar, Doha.

Witkoff, a wealthy American real estate developer, has already demonstrated that his diplomatic credentials are so thin, he’s actually a liability. Press interviews in which he said that Hamas are not really bad guys, raised alarm bells all over the West, which is saying something. American diplomacy in the region has been suspect for decades, and one can say that European efforts are even worse than that. Jihadists have played us like a fiddle for a very long time. It is dismaying to finally be rid of the devil Biden, and then see his successors in the Middle East diplomatic teams are really almost as bad. It’s incredible.

It’s bad enough that Witkoff’s amateurish handling of the Gaza hostage situation hasn’t helped. But the bigger existential threat, a nuclear Iran, requires an adult.

But if I’m being honest, Witkoff is just carrying out his boss’s instructions. President Trump has done tremendous things for Israel. I think he is correct in advising them to move quickly to end Hamas (the Israelis are different from other countries in that they put premium priority on getting their hostages back alive. If Hamas had taken Russians captive, Putin would have sent in troops to kill everyone, and it would have taken about 10 minutes. Israel? Working on two years of war, allowing Hamas to dictate terms because they hold hostages.

(As an aside, I will never get over the fact that Hamas murdered the Bibas boys and their mother, and the world is largely silent! Jew hatred is truly satanic.)

I want to recommend a new organization to you, recommended to me by an Israeli friend. The Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security is a think-tank in Israel and I’ve read enough articles to know that I really like their assessments. This week, Dr. Udi Levy sized-up some of the problems involved with getting too close to Qatar.

“The Swords of Iron war has thrust Qatar into the spotlight. For two decades, Doha has leveraged Middle East crises to earn international credit as a mediator and problem solver. This time, however, the conflict has damaged its image worldwide.

“Over more than twenty years, Qatar formulated what one might call a ‘pincer doctrine’: one arm extending a welcoming embrace to the Western world, the other working to undermine it. The friendly arm relies on diplomacy, vast sums of money, strategic acquisitions, mediation for hostage releases and crisis resolution, bribes to politicians, and operating public-relations firms to do its bidding. The destructive arm comprises Al Jazeera and a global propaganda network, gaining influence in universities, the promotion of radical Islam via the Muslim Brotherhood’s teachings, financing terror, and fomenting revolutions in the Islamic world.”

Uh oh.

The Muslim Brotherhood, formed in 1928 in Egypt, is the spiritual child of the Wahhabists from hundreds of years ago in the Arabian Peninsula. The Muslim Brotherhood today is the mothership of international terror.

Since October 7, 2023, Qatar has tried to manage the psychopaths in Hamas, but the terror group—true believers in jihad—haven’t followed orders. At the same time, Hamas is desperate to remain tethered to Qatar’s money and influence. Meanwhile, Qatar skillfully played a network of enemies and friends. Bolstering their ties to both Iran and Turkey, Qatar also sat with U.S. negotiators and spoke soothing words, poured tea, and smiled pleasantly.
