My idea of the politics of false accusation would include people:

• That say the Republicans want to push granny over a cliff.
• That compare Pres. Trump to Adolph Hitler.
• That say those that oppose abortion are against women’s rights, they are women haters, and things like that.
• That say those that oppose same-sex marriage, the bodily mutilation of children with trans surgeries, etc. hate gays.
• That say those that criticize radical Islamic terrorists that are trying to destroy Israel are Islamophobes.

The politics of false accusation is deceit.

Jesus and the Apostle Paul called deceit a sign of the end of the age.

Deceit, false accusations, etc., is a propaganda tactic that often works, and because it does, many politicians and many in the so-called mainstream media often use it.

This is a major reason why so many people have stopped voting, and why the so-called mainstream media has lost so much credibility.

Here are some recent events that seem to indicate that the end of the age is close:

One, concerning the politics of false accusations: on Jan. 6, 2026, Worthy News reported that:

• The White House marked the fifth anniversary of the January 6, 2021, Capitol breach by launching a new website aimed at challenging what it says is a Democrat-driven distortion of events and years of politically motivated prosecutions against Americans who participated in protests that day.
• According to the White House, Democrats “reversed reality” following January 6 by portraying what began as a political protest as a coordinated insurrection directed by Donald Trump, despite what the administration says was no evidence of an armed rebellion or an organized plan to overthrow the government.
• Speaking this week at a House Republican retreat, President Trump cited the video (a video of Nancy Pelosi admitting that she refused to call up the National Guard), saying she declined an offer of National Guard support. “They (the so-called mainstream media) never reported that Nancy Pelosi was offered 10,000 National Guard soldiers; he accused the media of suppressing that information.

This is the kind of thing I am referring to as I write about the politics of false accusation (deceit; politically motivated half-truths and lies; reverse reality) that has caused people to stop voting and the so-called mainstream media to lose a lot of credibility.

It is the politics of political and media destruction of others (deliberately and constantly twisting the truth) that I am referring to.

Two, concerning the politics of false accusations: on Jan. 11, 2026, the U.S. Sec. of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, was interviewed by CNN’s Jake Tapper on the “State of the Union” program about the fatal shooting of Renee Good.

Noem contended that Good attempted to run over the ICE agents who were trying to get her to stop blocking traffic with her car, and one of the ICE agents shot Good in self-defense when she tried to run him down.

Video, eye witnesses, and the ICE agent’s cellphone confirm what Noem said, but Tapper insisted that she was wrong.

Noem told Tapper,

• You can’t change the facts just because you don’t like them.
• Everything that I’ve said has been proven to be factual.

(My comment: In the past, I have heard others call CNN the Communist News Network because they often twist the facts.)

Three, concerning Pres. Trump’s Jan. 7, 2026, Pres. Trump memorandum directing the U.S. to withdraw from 66 international organizations, including 31 entities tied to the United Nations: the U.S. Sec. of State Marco Rubio said:

• The Trump administration has found these institutions to be redundant in their scope, mismanaged, unnecessary, wasteful, poorly run, captured by the interests of actors advancing their own agendas contrary to our own or a threat to our nation’s sovereignty, freedoms and general prosperity.
• President Trump is clear: It is no longer acceptable to be sending these institutions the blood, sweat and treasure of the American people, with little to nothing to show for it.
• The days of billions of dollars in taxpayer money flowing to foreign interests at the expense of our people are over.

(My comment: I have often referred to the UN as the United Nothing and expressed my opinion that the U.S. should get out of it. I am glad to see this, but the Bible teaches that a weak world government is coming – the Ten Kings – and they will be replaced by a very dangerous world government – the government of the Antichrist. In addition to this, the U.S. national debt is about 39 trillion dollars, and we desperately need to stop wasting billions of dollars on these dysfunctional institutions.)

(Update: On Jan. 8, 2026, UN Sec. Gen. Guterres said the United States has a “legal obligation” to keep paying its dues that fund U.N. agencies. A spokesperson for Guterres added, “As we have consistently underscored, assessed contributions to the United Nations regular budget and peacekeeping budget, as approved by the General Assembly, are a legal obligation under the UN Charter for all Member States, including the United States.)

Four, concerning the ceasefire in Gaza: on Jan. 8, 2026, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said little progress has been achieved in the Gaza ceasefire deal in recent weeks.

(My comment: The belief that there is going to be a permanent ceasefire in the Middle East is contrary to what the Bible says.)

Five, concerning perilous times at the end of the age: on Jan. 8, 2026, Pres. Trump proposed raising U.S. military spending to $1.5 trillion in 2027, a 66% increase that he said is necessary to secure the nation amid what he described as “very troubled and dangerous times.”

Six, concerning the seas and waves (of humanity) roaring, wickedness (the days of Noah), wars and rumors of wars, and the possible Battle of Gog of Magog: in 12 days of protests, Iran has now gunned down more than 40 unarmed people and injured many more.

On Jan. 8, 2026, Pres. Trump said,

• If they do that (keep killing their own people), we’re going to hit them very hard.
• We’re going to hit them hard.
• We’re ready to do it.

(Update: On Jan. 9, 2026, Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of the deceased Shah of Iran, sent a direct appeal to Pres. Trump: “Mr. President, this is an urgent and immediate call for your attention, support, and action. Last night you saw the millions of brave Iranians in the streets facing down live bullets. Today, they are facing not just bullets but a total communications blackout. No Internet. No landlines.” Pahlavi added, “Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei wants to use this blackout to murder these young heroes.”)

(Update: On Jan. 10, 2026 – the 14^th day of rioting – it was estimated that there are somewhere between 1.5 and 2 million protesters in the streets of Iran. Unlike previous attempted uprisings, this one is spreading like wildfire and is now reportedly in 512 locations in over 220 cities and in virtually all 31 provinces. The US has already clandestinely moved military resources to the area, and it looks like Trump is going to smack the Islamic tyrants hard if they don’t flee first.)

(Update: On Jan. 11, 2026, it was reported that some believe that hundreds of protestors may have been killed, and thousands have been wounded or jailed in Iran.)

(Update: On Jan. 11, 2026, Pres. Trump was asked if his administration has a message for Iran, and he replied, “You’ll find out pretty soon.”)

(Update: On Jan. 12, 2026, Pres. Trump said, “Effective immediately, any country doing business with the Islamic Republic of Iran will pay a Tariff of 25% on any and all business being done with the United States of America.”)

(Update: On Jan. 12, 2026, the U.S. urged U.S. citizens in Iran to leave immediately.)

(Update: On Jan. 13, 2026, Pres. Trump will meet with several members of his cabinet to discuss U.S. options and a possible military response to Iran’s treatment of protesters.)

(Update: On Jan. 13, 2026, Pres. Trump said help – for Iran – is on the way.)

(Update: On Jan 13, 2026, it was reported that an Arab source said the Ayatollah Khamenei has gone into hiding in an underground bunker.)

(Update: On Jan. 14, 2026, Pres. Trump said that he has been told that the killings and the executions have stopped. He said I hope it is true, but who knows. We are going to watch and see what the process is.)

(My opinion: We have to wait to see how this plays out and if it has any impact on the Battle of Gog of Magog. Nevertheless, we know that God’s Word will be fulfilled.)

Seven, concerning wickedness and violence at the end of the age: on Jan. 8, 2026, after the killing of Renee Good, 37, who drove a vehicle at an ICE agent, prompting the gunfire that killed her:

• Trump said he watched a video of the incident, and it is his opinion that she was an agitator, probably a paid agitator, a very high-level agitator that wouldn’t stop screaming.
• Her confrontation with ICE was not normal.

Trump decided to ignore the liberal outrage and false accusations and increase the number of ICE agents in Minnesota (one report said by as many as 1,000).

Eight, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on Jan. 10, 2026, more than 20 U.S. aircraft struck at least 35 ISIS locations in Syria.

The U.S. said it struck the sites in retaliation for the ISIS terrorist ambush in Palmyra, Syria, on Dec. 13 that killed two American soldiers and one U.S. civilian interpreter.

Nine, concerning sanctuary cities in the U.S.: on Jan. 13, 2026, Pres. Trump said, starting February 1, we’re not paying any of our cities or states having sanctuary cities because they do everything possible to protect criminals at the expense of American citizens, and it breeds fraud and crime and all of the other problems that come.

Ten, concerning Pres. Trump’s 20-Point Plan and a ceasefire in Gaza: on Jan. 14, 2026, it was reported that:

• S. Middle East special envoy Steve Witkoff announced the launch of Phase II of U.S. Pres. Trump’s 20-point Peace Plan, marking a transition from a fragile ceasefire to demilitarization, technocratic governance, and large-scale reconstruction of the war-ravaged enclave.
• Witkoff warned that the United States expects Hamas to fully comply with its obligations under the agreement, including the immediate return of the final deceased Israeli hostage. He said failure to do so would result in “serious consequences.”

FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).

Finally, are you Rapture Ready?

If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born sinless Son of God, who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.

Jan Markell is one of my favorite prophecy teachers.

She taught multitudes over hundreds of radio stations for many years.

On Dec. 30, 2025, Compass International posted an article by Jan titled, “Jan Markell’s Top 10 Prophecy Stories of 2025.”

Here is a link to Jan’s article for those who want to read all of it.

Confused By The Rapture?

I am going to skip to Number 10.

• My last point is to stress the supreme frustration that I must limit my observations to ten markers!
• There are hundreds!
• The world is rushing towards globalism.
• Violence and lawlessness are the order of the day.
• God’s timepiece, Israel, has enemies on seven sides!
• All creation groans!
• Islam is gaining ground.
• So, the fact that things are all coming together—all falling into place—excites only a tiny remnant who will never grow weary of keeping their eyes on the sky!
• If you are among them, hang in there.
• He is coming soon.
• As things continue to deteriorate, we may be left with only one hope—the blessed hope.
• We are the convergence generation.

Jesus went to the Temple in Jerusalem for the last time.

He was leaving, and He would never go back, never teach there again.

His Disciples started pointing out the buildings there.

He told them there would not be one stone left upon another.

They went out to the Mount of Olives. He sat down, and His Disciples went to Him and asked, “When shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world (age)?” (Matt. 24:1-3).

He taught them about many things, and then He said, “When ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled” (Matt. 24:33-34).

There will be a generation (the convergence generation) that will see all the things He said, and they will “know that it is near, even at the doors.”

Here are some recent current events that cause some to believe that this current generation is the convergence generation.

One, concerning the decline of America: on Jan. 1, 2026, on his first day in office, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani revoked all of the executive orders that his predecessor, Eric Adams, has issued since Sept. 26, 2024.

This included several executive orders that were designed to protect Jews.

Mamdani said, “I was elected as a Democratic socialist, and I will govern as a Democratic socialist. I will not abandon my principles for fear of being deemed radical.”

Two, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on Jan. 2, 2026, Pres. Trump declared that the U.S. is “locked and loaded and ready to go” if Iran kills any more Iranian protestors.

(My Opinion: This is dangerous because it could move Russia, Turkey, and others to help Iran.)

Three, concerning the whole world seeing the bodies of the Two Witnesses lying in the street of Jerusalem at the middle of the Tribulation Period: Elon Musk’s SpaceX is hoping to put 42,000 satellites into orbit to provide Internet services to every square inch of planet Earth.

It was recently announced that Starlink put 165 satellites into orbit in 2025. They now have more than 9,300 active satellites in orbit, and they expect to increase the pace on launches in 2026.

Four, concerning an increase in the frequency and intensity of earthquakes at the end of the age: on Jan. 3, 2026, a 6.5 earthquake struck southern and central Mexico, killing two people, injuring at least 17 people, causing about 1,000 aftershocks, and causing widespread damage to roads, housing, and infrastructure.

Five, concerning the violence in Iran, on Jan. 6, 2026, it was reported that:

• At least 36 people have been killed and more than 2,000 have been arrested during a week of demonstrations.
• Analysts say Iran is facing a convergence of crises: renewed international sanctions over its nuclear program, acute water and electricity shortages, a looming recession forecast for 2026, and now a nationwide protest movement testing the regime’s grip on power.

(My comment: Iran is a curse to Israel, and God may be warning Iran to stop before His judgment falls harder in the Battle of Gog of Magog.)

(Update: On Jan. 6, 2026, Sen. Lindsey Graham told Fox News Pres. Trump would order the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, if he keeps killing protestors. In addition to that, it has been reported that Khamenei has made plans to flee to Russia with 20 other Iranians, if he thinks his life is in danger.).

Six, concerning the tracking of people in the U.S.: on Jan. 5, 2026, Worthy News reported that:

• S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has dramatically expanded the use of mobile facial-recognition technology during Pres. Trump’s second term, allowing agents to identify suspected illegal immigrants within seconds and accelerating enforcement operations.
• The technology, known as Mobile Fortify, enables ICE officers to photograph a suspect with a smartphone and instantly verify identity and immigration status through multiple government databases.

Seven, concerning the controversy over Jerusalem and the future capital of a Palestinian state in East Jerusalem: on Jan. 6, 2026, Israel started taking bids (with a Mar. 16, 2026 deadline) for the construction of 3,401 homes near Jerusalem.

A few Israeli officials believe populating this area with Jewish homes will kill the idea of a future capital of a Palestinian state in East Jerusalem, and it has been opposed by Palestinians, Arabs, the EU, the U.S., and most of the so-called international community for decades.

When the bids end on Mar. 16, 2026, the construction will begin, and it will become irreversible by Israeli law.

Eight, concerning the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel: on Jan. 7. 2026, the Prime Min. of the tiny island nation of Samoa said his nation will open an embassy in Jerusalem this year.

Nine, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on Jan. 7, 2026, the U.S. seized two more sanctioned Venezuelan oil tankers.

One of the tankers was operating under a Russian flag and traveling from Iran toward Venezuela.

Russia immediately condemned the seizure, accused the U.S. of violating international law, and demanded the immediate release of the Russian crew.

Ten, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on Jan. 7, 2026, it was reported that Pres. Trump has notified Israeli Prime Min. Netanyahu that he plans to go ahead with Phase II of his 20-Point Peace Plan despite the fact that Hamas has still not released the body of one of the hostages.

Trump says he remains committed to the release of the body, but he will not hold up his plan for that.

Netanyahu opposes the start of Phase II before the body is released.

Hamas agreed to release all hostages and disarm, and Israel is demanding that Hamas be required to do that.

Trump also intends to announce the makeup of his Board of Peace (BoP) next week.

Eleven, concerning Trump’s negotiated ceasefire between Hamas and Israel: on Jan 8, 2026, Hamas violated the agreement (the second violation in 24 hours) by firing a rocket from Gaza-controlled territory into Israel.

Twelve, concerning a UN wannabe world government: on Jan. 7, 2026, Pres. Trump signed a sweeping presidential memorandum directing the U.S. to withdraw from 66 international organizations, including 31 entities tied to the United Nations, in a major escalation of his “America First” agenda.

Trump also ordered all executive departments and agencies to immediately stop participating in the funding of these organizations.

FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).

Finally, are you Rapture Ready?

If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God, who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.
