European Friends Fiends

I was reading recently a detailed account of just how anti-Semitic British officials were during the Mandate, from 1917-1948.

Wow.

It was worse than I thought—and I’d known for years that the British were horribly biased toward the Arabs since at least the end of World War 1.

After General Allenby defeated the Turks at Beer Sheva in 1917, the new British administration in Palestine immediately revealed their bias, giving the Arabs a 2/3 majority in seats for the municipal council in Jerusalem. Even though there was a Jewish majority population!

General Sir Arthur Money took over the administration from Allenby and things quickly disintegrated. British officers remained seated whenever the Hatikva was played. And copies of The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion were published and distributed. (Today, copies of Mein Kampf are circulated among the Palestinians.)

General Louis Bols replaced Money, and Bols’ assistant, Colonel Taylor, helped round-out a formidable Jew-hating duo.

As a complete aside (but relevant), Europe, particularly Germany, France, and England, had been digging their own spiritual grave by embracing Darwinian philosophy. This is directly why German and British seminaries began quickly in the mid-19th century to claim the Bible is myth. For example, it became popular to claim that the Bible itself was in fact derived from Sumerian and Babylonian myth. Nothing is more blasphemous. In 1902, the German Bible scholar, Friedrich Delitzsch, delivered a paper in Berlin, titled, “Babylon and the Bible.” The Kaiser was in the audience.

This theological devilment soaked the British political structure. What had been a friendly body to the Jews in the first half of the 19th century quickly devolved into a ghetto of Jew-haters.

The French went down the same path.

I’ve said all this to say, France this week condemned an Israeli incursion into Beirut, the point of which was to further degrade the Hezbollah demons that have murdered Jews and want to murder all of them.

Thanks, France.

When he’s not getting beat up by his wife, Emmanuel Macron delivers the usual bland assurances about “Israel’s right to self-defense,” at the same time he’s undermining Israel in every significant and practical way. Macron also appears to thirst for a Palestinian state. At the UN this month, an international conference on a Palestinian state will be held. Several countries (including places like Ireland!) already recognize a de facto state for the Arab devils that exist only to murder Israelis. Once again, the French lead from behind.

We are a long way from the days in which the French supported Jews. A shining example: the pilot for Air France 139, who refused to be released by PLO terrorists in 1976, at Entebbe. He said he would stay with them, and he did.

Now we are forced to watch a creep like Macron stride along in deluxe suits, lecturing Israel on how to have a place among the nations.

According to the Jerusalem Post:

“France condemned the Israeli strikes on Beirut’s southern suburb, Dahiyeh, on Thursday in a Friday statement on X/Twitter, and called on Israel to completely withdraw from Lebanese territory ‘as quickly as possible.’

“’France calls on all the parties to abide by the ceasefire signed on November 26, 2024, in order to ensure the safety of civilian populations on both sides of the Blue Line,’ the statement reads.”

Huh, let’s think about how the Jews have treated France. In two world wars, they contributed treasure and blood in order to help rescue the fancies from the Germans.

As in regular, real life, one must pay very close attention to who is a true ally. If you know one or two people in your whole life that will stick with you to the end, you are living in very rare company. Israel knows this better than most.

Macron (or, as I call him, Liberace) is a political low-life that loves his Deep State perch.

He will be forgotten by History long after the Jews continue to thrive because their God preserves them to live and thrive in the land of their forefathers.

Weather and Discernment :: By Terry James

Those who write on current issues and events as related to Bible prophecy yet future have, as often as not, been somewhat off the mark. For example, I’ve viewed the weather (the climate changes in the seasons) just as weather, with little prophetic significance; others, however, see weather as, in some cases, pointing directly to prophetic development.

Bill Koenig and John Maturin’s take on the weather as related to treatment of Israel does intrigue me. And others writing and speaking in that vein have occasionally captured my curiosity—like, for example, Hurricane Katrina during the George W. Bush administration and things going on at that time with the treatment of the Jewish state.

That hurricane was indeed an attention-getter, and it remains one of the most violent on record to have hit our nation.

Most writers of this sort have based their regard of the increase of violent weather as a sign of the end times on the following Scripture:

Again, I have, over my many decades on the planet, known of violent weather phenomena—especially since I’ve lived for much of that time here in the mid-South, which is considered on the fringe of Tornado Alley. As a matter of fact, we missed being hit directly by a tornado while living in Jackson, Mississippi, by less than a city block.

So when learning of foul weather, even the sometimes unusual outbreaks across the region or the world, I haven’t been particularly turned toward the “seas and waves roaring” of Luke 21:25 as being a significant indicator of end-times prophecy.

However, learning of the current weather phenomena raging across the nation and world, in conjunction with the other geophysical activity—earthquakes and the like—we are, I believe, experiencing the forewarning in Luke’s account.

Some of the stories of such concurrent, angry weather plaguing diverse regions are listed on Rapture Ready News on May 20:

  • Tornado hits St. Louis metro area, leaving 5 dead and causing widespread damage

A destructive tornado struck the St. Louis metropolitan area, Missouri, on May 16, 2025, killing at least five people and injuring dozens, according to city officials. The storm caused significant damage to infrastructure and homes, with over 5,000 properties affected. At least seven storm-related deaths were reported across multiple states on May 16, with some reports mentioning at least 10 fatalities.

  • First-ever Dust Storm Warning issued for Chicago, visibility drops to near zero across metro area

The first-ever Dust Storm Warning for the Chicago metro area was issued on May 16, 2025, as winds of up to 113 km/h (70 mph) carried dust into the city. The storm reduced visibility to near zero and affected major routes across Chicago and surrounding areas.

  • Tornado Emergency issued as violent tornado strikes Marion, Illinois

A violent tornado struck south of Marion in Williamson County, Illinois, between 18:00 and 19:00 CDT on May 16, 2025, prompting the U.S. National Weather Service to issue a rare Tornado Emergency for the area. The tornado destroyed homes near Market Road, caused significant structural damage across southern Marion, and formed part of a broader Midwest outbreak that killed at least 16 people.

  • Violent tornado strikes London, Kentucky, killing at least 9

A violent tornado struck the city of London in Laurel County, Kentucky, at 23:49 LT on May 16, 2025, killing at least nine people and injuring many others. The tornado caused extensive damage along Keavy Road, KY 1006, and Old Whitley Road.

These were but a few storms raging within the US. Tornados are also striking in places around the world where such storms are almost never reported.

My own lack of discernment to this point regarding the “seas and waves roaring” has received enlightenment, it seems.

Jesus, when standing in the midst of them while He walked the streets of Jerusalem, chastised the religious hierarchy for failing to discern the prophetic times. They were looking into the eyes of their Messiah—the King of Israel and the very Son of God. Yet they, with all their training and religiosity, couldn’t discern the matters they were supposed to relay to the people.

It is most interesting, in the context of our commentary here, that the Lord used weather to make His point:

“The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?” (Matthew 16:1-3).

It seems that lack of discernment regarding the matter of the weather, in my case, needed adjustment—no, needed correction!

The prophecy regarding the seas and waves roaring, which I’ve mostly considered to mean the sea of humanity in tumult among the nations of the world, it’s obvious to me now is primarily a geophysical phenomenon that will mark the end times. I continue to believe that, secondarily, the “seas and waves roaring” also refers to humanity in turmoil as the time of Christ’s return nears. It has, I’m of the conviction, a dual meaning.

As with all other prophecies in God’s Word, we must, as believers, discern the times we’re in with regard to Christ’s Second Coming. The next prophecy is the one from which we in God’s family should take great comfort, as Paul urged:

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and     with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words” (1 Thess 4:16-18).
