Voting for Your Own Destruction :: By Jan Markell

More than once, I have written about the mystery of Jews who seem to support their own demise by voting with, and standing by, those who hate them. Some Jews voted into office Ilhan Omar in my home state of Minnesota. Others voted for Mayor Zohran Mamdani in New York. No Jew is now safe there.

Many Jews voted for two anti-Semites – Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama. No two U.S. Presidents did more damage to Israel than these men – yet they got the Jewish vote by and large. Obama, a man with obvious Islamic leanings, got almost 80% of the Jewish vote.

Just 13% of Democrats even have a positive view of Israel! Most on the left seem to favor every Islamic terrorist they have ever met.

I have watched my own Jewish family members who are unbelievers vote Democrat repeatedly and have no explanation for it. They are mind-numbed from watching CNN.

Why would Minnesota Jews vote for Keith Ellison as Attorney General when his goal is Sharia Law?

Roosevelt—the Holocaust Enabling President

In the 1940s, the Jews overwhelmingly supported a President who was their enemy—Franklin Roosevelt. Over 90% of Jews voted for him in 1944. He looked the other way at the evils of the Holocaust.

Over 70% of American Jews voted for Hilary Clinton rather than Israel’s greatest Presidential friend, Donald Trump. In 2024, Donald Trump had proved himself an ally of Israel, yet 71% of Jews voted for Kamala Harris.

Has Rising Anti-Semitism Moved Jews to the Right?

Shockingly, even after October 7 and the rise in anti-Semitism, not that many moved to the center or the right politically. In spite of the fact that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said repeatedly that Donald Trump is the greatest friend Israel has ever had, most Jews would not vote for him.

Where is the disconnect?

Here are a few thoughts:

1)  Jews are all about social justice. Just as Evangelicals are taught to embrace candidates with more biblical principles and worldviews, Jews are taught to value the underdog in life—the persecuted, the minority, the downtrodden, the helpless. They have been falsely convinced that only the Democrat Party can do that effectively. Many Jews view the Jewish principle of Tikkun Olam (“repairing the world”) as aligning naturally with Democratic social justice goals.

2)  Many Jews just lack a loyalty to Judaism and Israel. They actually have MORE loyalty to liberalism than to the Jewish State or their heritage. To some of them, Israel is a pesky inconvenience to be criticized.

3)  The Jews remain in spiritual blindness. Does this blindness bleed over into other areas, such as politics? Perhaps. They cannot even see the Messiah in Isaiah 53. But Paul wouldn’t give up on the Jews, and neither should we!

4)  Today, many Jews are secular and not religious. Secularists have no loyalty to traditional marriage, pro-life causes, religious freedom, etc. The result is their affinity for the Democrat Party and liberal values. They simply do not have a biblical worldview. Those who do, vote Republican.

5)  There is the perceived mistreatment by the Jews of the Palestinians, which drives some Jews away from conservatism and any identity with the “religious right.” Perceived mistreatment does not fit in with their social justice mindset.

6)  Leftist politics seem to be in their DNA. Most often, their grandparents fled from socialist nations. Strangely, they are most comfortable with socialist principles—even though socialism is a proven failure.

It Is Not Just the Jews Who Are Blind

Much of the world cannot see truth. Even Christians are blind to the signs of the times breaking all around us! Most Christians are focused on earthly interests, lacking the eternal view.

Many unbelievers are blind to the truths of the gospel.

Those who see the truth and love the truth are few in number, be they Jew or Gentile! I call the real truth seekers today “remnant believers.”

Paving the Way for the Great Deceiver

But it is the Jews during the Tribulation who will be blindsided by a corrupt politician—the Antichrist. Their current blindness is setting the stage and preparing them to see “Mr. Fix-It” as the solution to the world’s problems. He will surely be a leftist, and his charisma will sway the world—starting with the Jewish people.

His middle name will be “social justice,” but it will be short-lived, as he is the ultimate deceiver.

The last 100 years of falling for leftists has prepared the Jewish people for this great deception.

Kings Without Kingdoms :: By Jan Markell

Is the Board of Peace a Part of Bible Prophecy?

The Bible describes a future period in which authority is concentrated not solely in traditional kingdoms but in a limited number of powerful figures who operate beyond national boundaries. And that is why I am paying close attention to President Trump’s Board of Peace.

Here are some fast facts:

1) President Trump will serve as chairman and wield considerable overall control. It will help resolve conflicts globally. He has the sole authority to invite new members and appoint a successor.

2) Global peace seems to be their goal, though they will participate in other global duties as well. The immediate focus of the Board of Peace will be Gaza, though there was no word about Gaza in the charter.

3) A lot of Godless people seem to be in charge, such as Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, Tony Blair, and almost 60 more movers and shakers. Most have a worldly view of the world and of “peace.”

4) Though originally announced as the international body created to oversee the rebuilding and initial governance of Gaza, the document curiously never mentions Gaza. Why not? Does President Trump envision this as the beginnings of an alternative or replacement to the United Nations? At face value, that sounds like a great idea!

5) The price tag for a nation-state being a member is $1 billion. That eliminates some third-world countries, and maybe that is good. The Somalias of the world will have to watch from afar.

6) Most European countries, including the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, have declined a position on the board, leading to significant dominance of the Middle Eastern Arab states on the Board of Peace.

7) The Board of Peace will be run by artificial intelligence and is clearly preparing the Mark of the Beast system. It seems to be setting up the Antichrist end-time system.

8) The newly established Board of Peace is organized into a tiered hierarchy of multiple levels of oversight committees.

9) Russia has been invited. How can a country engaged in a brutal war be a part of a Board of Peace?

10) The Pope has been invited, too. An end-time establishment is surely not complete without participation from the Vatican! The world awaits a spiritual leader!

11) Israel is invited but is outraged to be on a platform with the likes of Qatar and Turkey.

12) The Board of Peace seeks to promote stability, restore dependable and lawful governance, and secure enduring peace in areas affected or threatened by conflict.

13) Questionable and shady outfits, such as the World Economic Forum, may participate. These people aren’t elected, and plenty are shady characters. It has been suggested that many participants are kings without kingdoms.

14) Prophecy News Watch says it best: “A peace guaranteed by outsiders. Power consolidated in elite hands. Decisions about Israel made far from Jerusalem. A world growing comfortable with governance by committee rather than covenant.”

15) Since organizers claim it will solve all the world’s problems, it is Tribulation-esque and could be preparing the way for a global leader. That is likely not President Trump, but keep your eyes on Jared Kushner, who is truly one of the world’s most powerful unelected leaders.

Again, quoting Prophecy News Watch, “Daniel speaks of rulers who arise suddenly, wield influence disproportionate to their origins, and play decisive roles in confirming agreements that directly impact Israel. Revelation later describes ten kings who rule briefly, not over historic empires, but through shared authority–leaders who ultimately ‘give their power’ to one central figure.”

The Board of Peace will undoubtedly shut out the Prince of Peace and thus will fail. Additionally, the Bible says, While people are saying, ‘There is peace and security,’ then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape” (I Thess. 5:3).

Keep your eye on this outfit, however. It is clearly setting the stage.
