Conflicted? – Repent and Be at Peace :: By Jim Towers

Things are getting worse and worse all around the world. But just when we think things couldn’t get worse, a Russian submarine was spotted off the coast of Florida, about thirty miles from Miami, yesterday. Lest we forget, Russia is allied with Cuba, and now with Trump threatening Russia with supplying missiles to Ukraine, we must expect Russia to inevitably declare war on NATO and us.

Just so you know, China is allied with Russia, too, and that makes for a real-life threatening scenario for us here in the United States. Trump is sending thousands of Marines to Colombia and Venezuela to staunch the flow of drugs in our country, provoking confrontation with the governments there. If ever there was a time, it is now to repent and seek God’s forgiveness for our many faults (which include throwing God under the bus) and/or ignoring Him altogether. To criminals, pedophiles, liars, perverts, rapists and atheists, and agnostics especially, I would say wake up and smell the coffee – life as we’ve known it here in America is coming to a screeching halt.

As if all this craziness wasn’t enough to make the hair on the back of your neck stand up, then you should also know that there are many subversives in our country who are undermining our Judeo-Christian laws as well. Dearborn, Michigan, has the largest ratio of Muslim and Arab residents in the nation and has been dubbed “America’s Jihad Capital” all thanks to local community leaders, elected officials, and religious leaders who have promoted Hamas, Hezbollah, and other Muslim entities.

Speaking of Muslims, intent to overthrow our way of life, the Roman Catholic Pope has arranged to have a prayer room in the Vatican to accommodate them, as well as prayer rugs. Minarets will soon follow, like the ones in Minnesota, where Somalis have taken over. The Texas governor is fighting plans to install Sharia law in San Antonio, Texas. A Muslim, Zohran Mamdani, is running for Mayor in New York. If these Muslim efforts come together – then (like Barack Obama who once said, “America is NOT a Christian country”) we WILL no longer be a Christian Nation.

On that note, Islamists are killing Christians in Nigeria by the thousands, and we may have to finally intervene after years of neglect, with too many problems to handle here at home, in the Middle East, and Russia.

On top of all of that, we’ve let drugs and criminals take over our culture and sweep across the land, and just stood by watching as it happens. Today, we need a hardliner like President Trump to keep these subversives at bay. And although I don’t agree with everything he says and does, this is the man for the job, and he might just give us Americans the window of opportunity to repent and to bring our fellow man into the Christian fold before it’s too late.

Earlier this year, U.S. President Trump declared, “As we prepare to celebrate two and a half centuries of freedom, I am inviting America’s great religious communities to pray for our nation and for our people. From the beginning, this has always been a country sustained and strengthened by prayer. So important, if we bring religion back stronger, you’re going to see everything get better.” ( He should have ended that sentence with – “in the short term.”) Don’t hold your breath.

Many of today’s Christians seem to be Christians in name only – or “culture Christians” at best, since they continue to ignore the obvious end-times signs before us all – not knowing the Scriptures. We, my friends, are living in perilous times, which just might spell the end of us all.

Serious and born-again Christians must get to work – “for the Harvest is nigh and the workers are few.” We can’t just sit on our hands and wait for Christ to whisk us away in the rapture to save us from what’s to come. We will all be held accountable for what we did or didn’t do during our sojourn here on Earth. Now is not the time to cower in fear but to trust God to empower us to bring others into the fold – out of concern for their eternal souls and not for brownie points.

The good news is that a revival (of sorts) is beginning to happen across our country. In my usual staid and somber Protestant church consisting of cold elitist types, two young pastors have arisen whom I believe will help turn things around. Lately, Steve and Carson have broken through the same old-same old mold of packaged goods and have even gotten the near-dead congregation to applaud their sermons.

I can only believe that the Holy Spirit has “fallen” on these two young men as prophecy is being fulfilled that says, “In the last days, I will pour out my spirit on all flesh….” And since these young pastors are on the right track to begin with, it only seems right that they will be used greatly to bring many others into the kingdom of God. Not that the other pastors in our congregation were lacking, but there is a marked degree of energy and power in the two young men’s words and admonitions. And while I respect the other pastor’s preparation and delivery, now their sermons for the old, weak, and enfeebled seem somewhat shallow in comparison.

Book report:

Notorious, a book by Maureen Dowd, is pretentious in many ways, but I slogged through it, trying to charge my battery by laying off the religious and political stuff for a bit. And since I was in the entertainment business for most of my life, I could identify with many of the characters in it.

But just when I was getting bored with all the pretentiousness and bluster, up comes an interview with Elon Musk. Now I was wide awake and reading what he had to say about the “End Times” AI revolution. I already knew that AI was being programmed to listen to a Christian’s confession of wrongdoing and absolving them of their sins, “Say three Hail Marys and four Our Fathers and you’re good to go. Dominos Visco… Aaaaamen.” But it gets better – when AI teams up with Peter Thiel and promises us to live as Bots, having incorporated our being with Robotic AI’s programming. How foolish is that? At least Elon only wants to inhabit Mars and appears to be a spiritual person on a quest to find God, whom he acknowledges to exist.

Try as I might to find tranquility, deep down I find myself concerned for my fellow man who gropes in the darkness – when all he must do is repent, receive Christ’s atonement for his sins, and study his Bible to learn to please God.

Unchangeable :: By Daymond Duck

God, His Word (the Holy Bible), and His plans are unchangeable.

Anyone can choose to not believe them, not accept them, or not go by them, but no one can change them.

Things will eventually happen exactly as prophesied in the Scriptures.

For example, God promised to bless those that bless Israel, and to curse those that curse Israel.

In essence, those that choose to curse Israel are choosing to be cursed.

People can ignore God and the Scriptures, do what they want to do, and sincerely hope that everything will turn out okay, but it may not happen.

God is holy.

He cannot lie.

He requires things to happen the way He said they would happen.

He predicted hundreds of things that would happen before they happened (the virgin birth, crucifixion, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, etc.), and because they happened, He expects everyone to believe the unfulfilled prophecies will happen.

It is a shame for people not to believe and not to tell people about things to come.

People need to know, understand, and prepare.

Here are some recent events that seem to indicate that the end of the age is near.

One, concerning the fact that Israel cannot be destroyed: on Oct. 16, 2025, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) held a day of mourning to honor the soldiers and civilians that lost their lives in the Israel-Hamas War.

One official said,

  • This day of mourning is not just about grief.
  • It is also a declaration: Israel remembers. Israel endures. And Israel honors those who gave everything so that their people might live.

(My comment: Let the world know that Israel lives.)

Two, Muslims sometimes call Israel the Little Satan, and they call the U.S. the Great Satan.

They often say that after we destroy the Little Satan, we will destroy the Great Satan.

They can’t destroy Israel, but they are trying to, and they are trying to take over the U.S.

On Oct. 16, 2025, RAIR reported that a Muslim radio station is putting up Arabic-language billboards in Texas advertising that “We speak to you in Arabic.”

RAIR said:

  • Once upon a time, Texas highways were lined with cattle ranch ads, BBQ joints, and country radio stations celebrating the state’s heritage.
  • Now, they’re beaming foreign-language content (Arabic) across Texas airwaves.

(My comment: If the people of Texas don’t wake up soon, the call to Islamic prayer will be waking them up every day.)

(More: Pundits are predicting that a devout Twelver Shiite Muslim named Zoran Mamdani (son of a Marxist Columbia professor) will likely win the New York Mayoral race next month. Voters should be aware that he is close to gaining control of their $100 billion budget, police, schools, taxes, etc.)

(FYI: Iran is a devout Twelver Shiite Muslim nation. Iran is calling for the destruction of Israel, and the U.S. Iran wants to establish a global Shiite government and religion on earth.)

(More: On Oct. 17, 2025, the founder of CAIR (the Council of American-Islamic Relations) spoke to the Islamic Society of Orange County, Cal. and called upon mosques to fund and produce 100,000 Muslim journalists, lawyers, policymakers, and candidates by 2050 in order to build Islamic political power inside America. He said, “We have 4000 mosques in the country… if each mosque establishes a small fund… five students in journalism… filmmaking… defending rights… political science… history…
…In 12 years… 50,000 of each… In the year 2050, imagine the Muslim community will have 100,000 of each. Then we will tell our own story… defend… and… run for public office at all levels of government.”)

Three, concerning persecution of Christians at the end of the age: on Oct. 16, 2025, it was reported that India now requires local authorities to approve voluntary conversions, and unauthorized conversions can produce prison sentences and the equivalent of nearly $30,000 in fines.

Residents could also have their homes confiscated or demolished for getting people to accept Jesus.

Four, concerning persecution of Christians at the end of the age: on Oct. 16, 2025, it was reported that Turkey has expelled more than 350 foreign Christians since 2020, labeling many as “national security threats,” according to rights groups.

Five, concerning persecution of Christians at the end of the age: on Oct. 18, 2025, Zero Hedge (Tyler Durden) reported that there are about 8 billion people living in our world today, and well over half of them live in a country where Christians are being persecuted.

Six, concerning wickedness at the end of the age: on Oct. 15, 2025, it was reported that the Department of Homeland Security said Mexican drug cartels are now offering the following cash rewards:

  • $2,000 for intelligence on ICE officials and their families.
  • $5,000-10,000 for their kidnapping or non-lethal assaults.
  • Up to $50,000 for murdering high-ranking officials.

Seven, concerning Hamas killing Palestinians in Gaza: on Oct. 16, 2025, Pres. Trump said, if Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza, which was not the deal, we will have no choice but to go in and kill them.

Eight, concerning Hamas releasing the bodies of deceased hostages: on Oct. 16, 2025, Israel’s Foreign Minister said, “We know for certain that Hamas can easily release a significant number of hostages in accordance with the agreement. What they are doing now is a fundamental violation of the agreement.”

Nine, concerning the implementation of Pres. Trump’s 20-Point Plan: on Oct. 17, 2025, White House Correspondent William Koenig reported:

  • The release of the hostages is going slow, and Israel is concerned.
  • Despite pressure from Turkey, Qatar, and Egypt, Hamas is refusing to disarm.
  • Trump has announced that Saudi Arabia has expressed a willingness to join the Abraham Accords.

Ten, concerning progress on Trump’s 20-Point Plan: on Oct. 19, 2025, it was reported that:

  • Hamas terrorists attacked Israel Defense Forces in southern Gaza on Oct. 18, 2025. Israel retaliated, but the brokered ceasefire appears to be falling apart.
  • Hamas was required to return all 28 hostage bodies it held by Oct. 13, but it has only returned 12 (Note: As of Oct. 21, 2025, they had returned 13).
  • Hamas intends to remain the ruling party in Gaza during an interim period.
  • Israel released 1,950 terrorists as part of the exchange for 20 Israeli hostages and 28 bodies. At least 250 released terrorists were serving one or more life sentences for murdering Jews. All of the 250 terrorists received a significant sum of money while incarcerated, but 160 of them received the equivalent of $70 million from the Palestinian Authority (and their family members received other benefits). Some of the released murderers are now millionaires.

(BTW: A senior member of Hamas’ politburo, Mohammed Nazzal, said Hamas is now considering a 3-5-yr ceasefire to allow for reconstruction of Gaza. Really!!! Why not 7 years and someone to strengthen the agreement?)

(My questions: If Hamas is refusing to keep its current agreement, why would world leaders pretend to believe that Hamas will keep any agreement? Oh, wait! Could it be that we are at the end of the age, and world leaders hate Israel just like the Bible says? Could it be that killing Jews is an Islamic religious belief, and Hamas will not abandon its religious beliefs? What will Pres. Trump do about Hamas’ violation of the agreement? He has already issued an executive order to protect Qatar, a major financier of Hamas. Hegseth has already said the U.S will allow Qatari jets and pilots to train in Idaho. So, the U.S. has cozied up to Qatar, which sides with Iran in the financing of Hamas, and now Hamas is reneging. Trump said if Hamas keeps killing Palestinians, he will kill Hamas. What will he do if Hamas keeps killing Jews?)

(Update: On Oct. 20, 2025, Pres. Trump’s envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Israel to keep the truce from collapsing and discuss further phases of the deal.)

(Update: Concerning Hamas: on Oct. 21, 2025, Pres. Trump said, “They’re going to be nice, and if they’re not… we’re going to eradicate them if we have to.”

Eleven, Trump’s ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel requires Israeli troops to stay behind a yellow line, and Hamas not to cross it.

Hamas has already violated that, so Israel has started placing concrete blocks with yellow posts on them along the line, and Israel has warned Hamas to stay on its side of the line.

Twelve, since the beginning of 2025, 20 hay barns (storage facilities for hay to feed cows) have gone up in fire.

Many are the result of arson, and we could focus on the wickedness of man (days of Noah), hatred for Israel, etc., but I just want to point out that God called Israel the land of milk and honey, Russia will go after Israel’s cattle and goods in the latter years and latter days, etc.

Hay barns are a sign that God knows the future, and the cattle are there.

Thirteen, concerning the Battle of Gog of Magog in the latter years and latter days: on Oct. 20, 2025, the Prophecy News Watch (PNW) staff wrote:

  • In the uneasy calm following their devastating losses, Hezbollah and Iran are not defeated — they are regrouping.
  • Both powers have suffered humiliating setbacks against Israel.
  • Yet rather than signaling surrender, their restraint feels strategic — a calculated pause in the rhythm of a war that has never truly ended.

The PNW staff believes we are witnessing “The Quiet Before the Next Storm.”

Fourteen, concerning Israel being a great army at the end of the age: on Oct. 20, 2025, Israeli Prime Min. Netanyahu told the Israeli Knesset that Israel has been fighting a war on seven fronts for two years, and the Jewish military is stronger than ever.

Fifteen, concerning Pres. Trump’s 20-Point Plan: on Oct. 23, 2025, it was reported that:

  • Prime Min. Netanyahu said Israel will not agree to the Palestinian Authority (PA) taking part in governing the Gaza Strip unless it undergoes fundamental change.
  • An Israeli official said Israel will not agree to Turkish soldiers entering Gaza.
  • A different Israeli official said the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) will not have future involvement in the Gaza Strip.
  • Israel’s Finance Min. said if Saudi Arabia says normalization in exchange for a Palestinian state, friends, no thank you. Keep riding camels in the sands of the desert in Saudi Arabia.

(My opinion: God is opposed to the division of Israel, so Pres. Trump’s 20-Point Plan has a long way to go.)

Sixteen, concerning the rebuilding of Babylon at the end of the age (and a possible fulfillment of Bible prophecy): on Sept. 25, 2025, it was reported that construction has started on several major projects.

Here is a link to the article:

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.
