Justice Alito gets ACLU attorney to admit she can’t define man or woman
‘How can a court determine whether there’s discrimination on the basis of sex, without knowing what sex means?’ Justice Samuel Alito told the ACLU attorney in Little v. Hecox. “If anyone was not yet convinced that our country has lost its collective mind, consider that in the Supreme Court today, Justice Alito asked [an] ACLU attorney to define man and woman. Her answer – ‘We do not have a definition for the court,’” wrote Dr. Eithan Haim on X. “It may seem exaggerated but I can assure you, it is real. The insanity of this cannot be overstated.”

US Trade Deficit Shrinks to $29.4 Billion, Lowest since 2009 
The U.S. trade deficit has been reduced to $29.4 billion, after last being reported at $48.1 billion. The forecasted deficit had been $58.1 billion, Investing.com reported. The deficit dropped by $18.7 billion, and was $28.7 billion less than the predicted figure. The deficit is the lowest since 2009,

US declares launch of Phase 2 of Gaza Peace Plan, incl ‘transitional technocratic Palestinian administration’ 
US declares launch of Phase 2 of Gaza Peace Plan, incl ‘transitional technocratic Palestinian administration’ “Today, on behalf of President Trump, we are announcing the launch of Phase Two of the President’s 20-Point Plan to End the Gaza Conflict, moving from ceasefire to demilitarization, technocratic governance, and reconstruction,” Witkoff declared.

City Agency Promotes ‘Art of Civil Disobedience’ Class Hosted by Socialists, Anti-Trump Activists 
A Pittsburgh government agency is promoting an upcoming class by local leftist groups on “civil disobedience” from its social media accounts. The city’s Commission on Human Relations reposted a joint announcement on Saturday advertising the event by the Pittsburgh chapters of Democratic Socialists of America and the 50501 Movement on Instagram and X. The three-hour Tuesday evening talk will feature an unnamed “practitioner and trainer with extensive experience” and civil rights lawyer Mike Healey, according to the posts.

UN uses “children’s rights” to bypass parents and target children
The UN is currently finalising changes to “children’s rights” to give them access to abortions without parental consent. This is not the first attack on children, families and all of our futures using “children’s rights” as the excuse. In 2023, the UN issued “guidance” which explicitly links “children’s rights” to the UN’s nefarious climate change agenda.

ChatGPT Killed a Man After OpenAI Brought Back “Inherently Dangerous” GPT-4o, Lawsuit Claims
“Austin Gordon should be alive today,” said Paul Kiesel, a lawyer for the family. “Instead, a defective product created by OpenAI isolated Austin from his loved ones, transforming his favorite childhood book into a suicide lullaby, and ultimately convinced him that death would be a welcome relief.” “This horror was perpetrated by a company that has repeatedly failed to keep its users safe,” Kiesel continued. “This latest incident demonstrates that adults, in addition to children, are also vulnerable to AI-induced manipulation and psychosis.”

Donald Trump Won’t Rule Out Leaving NATO Over Greenland
When asked by a reporter during a press briefing in the Oval Office if he’d be willing to leave NATO, Trump responded, “Well, I wouldn’t be telling you what I’m willing to do. But Greenland is very important for national security, including of Denmark. There’s not a thing Denmark can do if Russia or China wants to occupy Greenland.” “But there’s everything we can do. You found that out last week with Venezuela,” he added.

‘You don’t have much time’: As Iranians wait for Trump to act, Reza Pahlavi calls on army to abandon the regime 
“The world has not just seen and heard your voice and courage, it is now responding,” Pahlavi said in a message to the Iranian people on Tuesday. “By now, you have probably heard the message from the President of the United States, ‘Help is on the way.’ Continue the fight, as you have done so far.” “Save the names of all these criminals. They will be prosecuted for what they have done.”

Hezbollah threatens Lebanon with civil war if state continues attempts to disarm Iranian proxy 
The Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) declared last week that it had completed the first stage of its plan to monopolize weapons in the hands of the state by establishing full control over the area south of the Litani, which borders Israel. This was the first step in a multi-stage plan by the government to disarm the terror group,

Iran Opposition Reports 12,000 Killed in Protest Crackdown
Iranian opposition sources claim the regime killed at least 12,000 people during recent protests in what would be the deadliest massacre in the nation’s modern history. The figures, reported by opposition outlet Iran International, exceed verified counts from human rights organizations and represent what the outlet describes as a coordinated crackdown ordered from the highest levels of government as demonstrations demanding an end to 46 years of theocratic rule swept across Iran. The outlet emphasized that these were organized killings, not scattered clashes, with most victims under 30 years old.

Some personnel at key US base in Qatar advised to evacuate as Iran official brings up earlier attack
Some personnel at a key U.S. military base in Qatar were advised to evacuate by Wednesday evening, according to a U.S. official and the Gulf country, as President Donald Trump has warned of possible action after a deadly crackdown on protesters in Iran. The decision came as a senior official in Tehran brought up the country’s retaliatory attack in June at Al Udeid Air Base outside Doha, Qatar.

Priestly and Levite guilds prepare for Temple revival
An emerging effort to revive the Aaronite priests and Levitical assistants of ancient Israel has grown into a nearly 100-strong professional community of Kohanim and Levites in just a month, led by a young Israeli doctor and Temple Mount activist. Huberman is building two separate but related professional communities rooted in priestly and Levitical identity, each with its own focus and infrastructure.​

Saudi officials warn Washington to use only limited strikes against Iran
Saudi officials are cautioning Washington that an expansive US strike on Iran could strengthen the Islamic Republic rather than weaken it, urging President Donald Trump to limit any potential action to high-level regime targets as the nationwide protest movement enters its third week.

Has Gaza’s post-Hamas government already been created, despite Phase II delays? – analysis
it appears that some aspects of the US-backed peace plan are taking shape. It is worth recalling that US President Donald Trump’s peace plan had a multi-phase approach that is supposed to lead to peace in Gaza. The 20-point plan envisioned a Board of Peace and a transitional technocratic government for Gaza.

US military intervention in Iran may begin within 24 hours, European officials say 
An unnamed Israeli official also said it appeared Trump had decided to intervene, though the scope and timing remained unclear. The United States is withdrawing some personnel from key bases in the region as a precaution amid heightened regional tensions,

US to Suspend Visa Processing for 75 Nations, State Department Says
The Trump administration is suspending all visa processing for applicants from 75 countries, a State Department spokesperson said on Wednesday. The spokesperson did not elaborate on the plan, first reported by Fox News, which cited a State Department memo. The pause will begin on Jan. 21, Fox News said. Somalia, Russia, Iran, Afghanistan, Brazil, Nigeria, and Thailand are among the affected countries, according to the report.

Iran temporarily closes airspace, Western military official says signals show US attack ‘imminent’
Iran temporarily closed its airspace early Thursday morning, issuing a NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) to all flights except international ones to and from Iran with official permission, as Western military officials say US military action in the country is “imminent.” The prohibition was scheduled to last a little over two hours and end at around 2:30 a.m. Israel time, but was later extended to 5:00 a.m. Israel time.

More Confusing Signals from Trump Who Says ‘No Plan for Executions’ as Iran Issues Grotesque Assassination Threat
President Trump said on Wednesday (before the NOTAM was issued by Iran) that the Iranian thugs had stopped killing protesters and also called off executions. The assertion comes as three US-guided missile destroyers are in the Arabian Gulf, and Israel is ramping up its Air Defense in preparation for the conflict. The president’s declaration could be a deliberate deception, as he made similar overtures before attacking Iran’s nuclear program last June.

President Trump Publicly Backs the Revolution in Iran and Promises U.S. Help Is Coming
Has there ever been a social media post more important than the one President Trump just made? It would be very difficult to overstate the significance. Now that Trump has decided to publicly back the revolution in Iran, it’s either regime change or bust. By publicly declaring the U.S. is going to help the protesters, he’s made it clear there will be military showdown with Iran. War is here, and we’re going to witness a staggering amount of death and destruction.

While Iranians Bleed for Freedom, America Imports the Islamic Regime They’re Dying to Escape
While the streets of Iran are drenched in blood—women executed for defiance, protesters cut down by gunfire, bodies left as warnings—America is importing the very Islamic regime ideology Iranians are risking their lives to escape. Western institutions applaud the “growing visibility of Islam” in public life: Qur’an recitations at public events in New York City. Landmarks lit green for “Muslim Heritage Month.” Claims of Muslims “asserting a more visible role” in the economy and society. This is not pluralism. It is conquest—soft power, normalized and applauded.

Red State Islamization Alert: Texas and Florida Honor CAIR-Backed ‘Muslim-American Heritage Month’ Despite Their Own Terror Warnings Against CAIR
Texas and Florida expose the strategy in full: governors warned that CAIR was a security threat, then state and local institutions normalized it through “heritage month” resolutions—transforming symbolic recognition into institutional legitimacy, organized lobbying access, and enforceable policy leverage inside conservative states – a quiet institutional contradiction: vocal resistance at the executive level paired with official recognition at the legislative and local levels, a pattern critics argue normalizes political Islam inside state institutions.

Have You Heard What Iran Is Threatening to Do Next? – It Includes Killing President Trump
We certainly have entered uncharted territory. When a vicious predator is backed into a corner, it will do whatever it can to survive. That makes Iran more dangerous than ever at this moment. The Iranians are making all sorts of crazy threats, and I’m convinced they fully intend to make good on them. Whether they’re actually able to do so is another matter. But without a doubt, we need to take their threats seriously, and that includes their threat to kill President Trump.

Is The Red Horse Preparing to Ride? It Appears We’re on the Brink of Apocalyptic War In the Middle East
In recent hours, so many nations have instructed their citizens to leave Iran. Protesters are being slaughtered by the thousands, and President Trump is promising that help from the US is on the way. At this moment, it appears we’re on the brink of apocalyptic war in the Middle East. I believe Bible prophecy is being fulfilled in front of our eyes. As the Middle East erupts in flames, hopefully it will cause people all over to take a much closer look at the Book of Revelation.

Demographic Collapse: France Records More Deaths Than Births for First Time Since WWII
“France has crossed a demographic threshold that would have been completely unthinkable just a generation ago. For the first time since the end of the Second World War, the country recorded more deaths than births—a historic break from its postwar trajectory and a definitive sign of the ongoing, and much-ignored, demographic collapse across Europe and the West.” The scale of the decline is striking when placed in a broader historical context. Births have declined precipitously, more than 24% from their 2010 peak, a collapse that’s unfolded in barely fifteen years and shows no sign of reversing.

UN uses “children’s rights” to bypass parents and target children
The UN is currently finalizing changes to “children’s rights” to give them access to abortions without parental consent. This is not the first attack on children, families and all of our futures using “children’s rights” as the excuse.  In 2023, the UN issued “guidance” which explicitly links “children’s rights” to the UN’s nefarious climate change agenda….This was never agreed: not by voters, not by parliaments and not by parents. Yet if governments stay silent (as they often do), this text will be adopted quietly and then used for years to pressure families around the world.

 

Antichrist’s Power Base in Flux :: By Terry James

With most all other prophetic signals in view for the coming Tribulation (Daniel’s seventieth week), it’s more than intriguing that one stage-setting ingredient at the center of that horrendous era seems to be out of sync with developments. Or perhaps the incongruity represents the final element about to be entered into the construction of Antichrist’s power base.

The European Union is in what looks to be a weakening—not an increasingly dominant—state of affairs. The following think piece offers some information about the troubles within this developing power base for the Antichrist regime during the Tribulation:

The European Union (“EU”) is facing criticism and calls for reform or abolition, with Elon Musk recently calling for its abolition and the Trump administration’s national security strategy labeling it a failed project.

There are three distinct camps of commentators on the EU’s future: Europhiles who support the EU, Eurosceptics/Reformists who want to reform it, and EU abolitionists who want to dissolve it.

The reformist camp is strikingly large and contains most of the officially tolerated nationalist movements in the EU.  In the following, J.K. argues for reform. But this reform would be so significant that it would create something new: it would involve a wholesale replacement of the EU and its sister institutions.…

Western political discourse is entering a time of re-evaluation of the core concepts and institutions that have ruled us since the 1950s. The European Union is not above this kind of re-evaluation and the ideological battles over its nature and future are not going to abate any time soon. (“EU Needs Massive Reform: There needs to be a wholesale replacement of the EU and its organisations,” by Rhoda Wilson, The Expose, December 23, 2025)

The troubles range from internal power scuffles to cultural and ideological differences that are so profound as to make future cohesion very unlikely at best, and to cause dissolution of the EU as presently constituted at worst.

At the center of the tumult within the EU seems to be the US and the most, shall I say, interesting president of history. Pressures from the Trump administration seem to be at the heart of the movement that is about to force reforms. We will simply have to continue to watch and see with regard to prophetic outcome.

History has proved to the satisfaction of most Bible prophecy scholars that the first four world kingdoms described in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream have come and gone. The Babylonian kingdom was the first. The Medes and Persians comprised the second world empire. The Greek Empire under Alexander the Great was the third. The Roman Empire, which split in two, with capitals in Rome and Constantinople (now Istanbul, Turkey), was the fourth great world kingdom.

One is left to come upon the scene—the final world governmental system represented in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream as the feet and toes made of iron mixed with clay. This kingdom, we believe, is far along in the process of coming together today in the form of the European Union. The fifth world empire symbolized in the statue is prophesied to be an extension of the fourth kingdom. That is exactly what the EU is—an extension of the ancient Roman Empire. It is, we are convinced, the feet and toes of the man-image, the reviving of the unity that was once Europe in all its power and glory. Yet, despite the tremendous power the final form of the Roman Empire will have, the clay mixed with iron seems to indicate it will have significant weaknesses.

The European Union is, like America, presently at the forefront of calling for Israel and the Palestinians to come to the peace table. It will be just such a peace negotiation, according to Daniel 9:26–27, out of which will come the “covenant made with death and hell” (Isaiah 28:15, 18). Antichrist, “the prince that shall come,” will personally guarantee that covenant. But the prophetic Word says that “when they shall say peace and safety, then, sudden destruction cometh upon them as travail upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape” (1 Thessalonians 5:3).

The Islamic world’s hatred for the Jews and Israel is satanic at its core. No amount of negotiating for peace ever will change that. Israel’s neighbors want the Jewish state forever done away with—expunged from what they consider their land. The Arab leaders, all dictators to one degree or another, must keep the region in foment against Israel to assure that their dictatorships stay in power. The “covenant made with death and hell,” according to Isaiah the prophet, must somehow deal with this great hatred to achieve the false peace of that satanically produced covenant.

The European Union, Antichrist’s future base of authority, is rapidly growing toward its full power that will produce a leader of unprecedented dominance who will bring about that false peace.

The Bible states that seven out of ten “kings” will back a world leader who will forcibly rip power from the other three and give it to himself. With all other prophetic indicators seemingly in full view upon the immediate geopolitical horizon, the EU in turmoil seems to be another profound ingredient that’s been added to the fascinating mix.

Certainly, the current flux affecting the EU represents weakness that looks difficult to overcome.

However, the man of sin will have satanically imbued powers. This will likely include the ability to overcome problems such as those currently observed within his future power base. Meantime, the devil will be in the details of preparing his son of perdition’s platform of tyranny.

So, during the New Year, unless the Rapture preempts our ability to watch from this earthly platform of observation, we will likely see fascinating changes. That is, there will almost certainly be dramatic changes in the European Union model in setting the stage for construction of the world power structure represented in Daniel’s interpretation of King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream (read Daniel chapter 2).

***Pakistan Ministry Mission Appeal from Terry James***

To my Rapture Ready and Prophecyline family: I again solicit your support in spreading God’s Word in Pakistan.

Your generosity in past missionary efforts has just been wonderful beyond measure. I again prayerfully ask that you open your spiritual heart in helping fund the distribution of the books I’ve given to our pastor in Pakistan to use while he preaches and teaches about our Lord Jesus Christ.

Pastor Anil Jasper translated my little book, Prophecy Power: Strength from God to Face Your Future. He has now also translated into the Urdu language my small book, HeavenVision: Glimpses into Glory.

This is the book in which I tell about the widow-maker heart attack I had on Good Friday of April 22, 2011. I describe my experience of being somewhere in the heavenly sphere each time my heart stopped. The voluminous medical documentation of that medical emergency shows why my survival was so unusual that the cardiological association gave me their “Patient of the Year” award and asked me to speak to their convention.

Of course, at the heart of my testimony is the salvation message that Jesus alone can save the soul from an eternity apart from God the Father.

The first book Pastor Anil translated and continues to distribute to the people of his country, Prophecy Power, remains a great witness of Christ’s saving power. HeavenVision now adds a second witnessing tool that will help the pastor win souls for God’s eternal family.

I have special permission from my publishers to donate these books in this ministry. I receive no compensation whatsoever from their distribution in Pakistan.

Your donations are essential to carry out this all-important mission. I believe your contributions will result in great heavenly rewards some eternal day when we all come before our Lord at the judgment seat of Christ.

We need funding to print and distribute these books beginning this month.

May the Lord bless you mightily for helping in this mission to the people of Pakistan.

Again, I don’t have a way to accept credit cards or PayPal-type contributions. I ask that you send checks to the address below.

Please put in the line at the bottom of your check: For our Pakistani Mission.

Also, please include your email address so I can properly thank you. Being blind now since I was fifty-one, postage and preparing envelopes, etc., is beyond my ability. But emails are easily within my capability, and I certainly want to thank each of you.

Please make the check out to me—Terry James—and send to:

Terry James Prophecy Line
P.O. Box 38
Benton, AR 72018

Thanks, and God’s Blessings.

***P.S. I am thankful and so pleased to announce that we have received a donation offer that will greatly help in this effort to fund printing and distribution of my books in Pakistan.

A most generous brother in Christ has offered up to $7,500 in matching funds for donations we receive.

In other words, for each donation you send, he will match with an equal amount up to $7,500.
