GLOBAL UNREST

Apostasy and Doctrines of Demons

‘Side B’: another insidious attack on authority of scripture; likely coming to a church near you. Instead of fully embracing LGBTQ lifestyles (as “Side A” does), “Side B” proponents acknowledge homosexual acts are sinful but claim the identity is not. Nonsense! How can a Christian identify themself by a temptation the Lord hates and that their regenerate hearts should equally hate?

Hungarian Prime Minister exposes EU’s destructive agenda. Prime Minister Orban makes it clear: the purpose of the leftist-inspired mass importation of Muslims is to make sure all European Christian traditions are permanently destroyed. “First come the migrants, then the papers, then the votes.”

Chinese Christian media ordered to include more communist propaganda. China’s only legal church, the Communist Party-controlled Three-Self Patriotic Movement (TSPM), has been ordered to publish more communist propaganda in its “Christian” media.

Hatred of Israel and Jews

Terror attack in Samaria: Israeli woman murdered on her way to delivery room. Terrorists ambushed the vehicle in which she was in and opened fire at her, critically wounding her. She was later pronounced dead at the hospital.

‘Disgusting’: In Rhode Island, the State Capital to Fly Palestinian Flag Over City Hall. In an utterly shameful move, Providence, Rhode Island, plans to raise a Palestinian flag over City Hall on May 16 — a decision that spits in the face of American values and Christian principles.

Germany: Police Officers Injured in Violent Clashes at Anti-Israel Nakba Day Rally in Berlin.
More than 600 police officers were dispatched to contain the “Nakba Day” protest in Berlin’s central Kreuzberg district, where over 50 arrests were made.

Netherlands: Christians kick anti-Israel protesters out of Dutch coastal town. Anti-Israel protesters who demonstrated outside a Christian-Zionist celebration on Wednesday were chased away by locals who made the protesters “run for their lives.” The event was an Independence Day celebration by Christians for Israel that drew hundreds of Israel’s supporters.

Hatred of Christianity

The Church will not see the events of the Tribulation, but we can see its shadows. That doesn’t mean we won’t have trouble. We will. Jesus told us we would (John 16:33). But persecution from others and the normal trauma of living in a fallen world are different from God’s wrath poured out for our sins. We won’t experience the latter because His wrath for our sins was poured out long ago — on Jesus at the cross. He received what we deserved.

Pervasive Perversion

Good: Texas passes bill to close loophole that allows sexually graphic material in schools. Texas Lawmakers voted to remove an ‘affirmative defense’ loophole that shielded schools from prosecution for exposing students to sexually perverse content.

Depopulation Agenda

Assisted Suicide: New York Takes Dangerous Step Toward Normalizing Death as a Commodity.
At this rate, New York is on track to become the 11th state to legalize assisted suicide. This law permits terminally ill patients to end their lives with a physician’s help. The intentionally softer label of “assisted dying” is a grave moral failing. It frames death as a solution to pain or inconvenience. It echoes the chilling “logic” behind abortion.

Last Days Youth

New College Grads Not Working Out, Most Hiring Managers Say: A Pollfish survey of 1,000 managers across America revealed reasons that 8 in 10 managers said newly hired college graduates didn’t work out during their first year on the job.

Lack of a work ethic scored 54%, followed by poor communication skills at 48%, and lack of technical skills at 27%.

Plague, Pestilence, and Plandemics

Economic and Food Insecurity

World Heading Toward Economic Captivity; Thru A Biblical Lens, It’s No Small Development. Two months ago, the US Senate Banking Committee introduced what may prove to be a historic and ominous piece of legislation: the GENIUS Act. Framed as a long-overdue measure to establish a legal framework for stablecoins, this bill was, in fact, far more significant. It would have marked America’s first real step toward a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).

Weather Events

Deadly tornado outbreak leaves at least 21 dead across Kentucky and Missouri.

Wars and Rumors of Wars

US & Qatar raise pressure to reach hostage deal before Israel starts large-scale Gaza offensive, which could come as soon as President Trump wraps up his trip to the Gulf.

Israel escalates airstrikes in Gaza: Large-scale offensive seems imminent with ceasefire negotiations stuck. Israel conducted massive waves of airstrikes in the Gaza Strip overnight Friday into Saturday, with Hamas-affiliated sources reporting up to 100 people killed since Thursday. Israeli Defense Forces appear to be preparing the ground for Operation Gideon’s Chariots due to stalled ceasefire negotiations with the Hamas terrorist organization.

15 Israeli jets drop 35 bombs on Houthi targets: New details on airstrike in Yemen. The goal was to damage the Houthis’ main income source and, in effect, impose a naval blockade on the terror organization. Now, vessels up to 80 meters in length won’t be able to dock at the targeted ports — a move that will hinder the Houthis’ ability to receive supplies.

Calls for Peace and Safety

Where Do Trump’s Loyalties Lie During His Middle East Excursion? Rumors have been swirling as to whether President Trump has abandoned Israel for the Gulf states. But whatever is done by the president of the US or any other country can’t impact the future plan God has for Israel. Millennia have passed, and empires have come and gone, but Israel remains. Why? Because that is what God promised, and His word is irrevocable.

Syria-Israel contacts said to intensify in wake of Trump-Sharaa meeting & lifting of US sanctions. Israeli and Syrian representatives have reportedly held talks in recent days to ease tensions and explore the possibility of Syria joining the Abraham Accords. An Israeli delegation met with Syrian and Turkish representatives in Azerbaijan in recent days, with Emirati officials serving as mediators.

Out of chaos—a new world order? Speaking from Saudi Arabia, President Trump said, “Before our eyes, a new generation of leaders is transcending the ancient conflicts and tired divisions of the past and forging a future where the Middle East is defined by commerce, not chaos; where it exports technology, not terrorism; and where people of different nations, religions, and creeds are building cities together, not bombing each other.” [There won’t be peace between nations until Jesus comes back to Earth to establish His millennial reign.]

Is President Trump About to Pull Off the Deal of the Century?

With Trump Touring Gulf, Iran Offers Huge Nuclear Concession. In a major breaking report, NBC says “Iran is ready to sign a nuclear deal with certain conditions with President Trump in exchange for lifting economic sanctions.

The Much-Hyped “Peace Talks” Between Russia and Ukraine Are a Total Disaster So Far. There was so much hype about the “peace talks” that were supposed to happen between Russia and Ukraine in Turkey on Thursday. These were to be the first face-to-face negotiations between the two sides in three years. But Putin decided not to show up, and he didn’t send Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov either. Instead, he sent a “second-tier delegation” to negotiate with the Ukrainians…”

Trump urges Syrian President Sharaa to join Abraham Accords, deport Palestinian terrorists, in historic meeting. President Trump met with Syria’s President on Wednesday, the first time a U.S. President met with a Syrian president in 25 years. While Israel has signaled its opposition to granting legitimacy to Syria’s new government, Trump pointedly called Sharaa to make peace with Israel and to deport ‘Palestinian’ terrorists from his country.

The World’s Longing for Peace and Safety Will Play Right Into the Hands of the Antichrist. It seems nearly everywhere you turn, people are talking about peace. On every continent and in nearly every country, leaders are holding out hope that somebody will be able to advance the cause of peace throughout the world. The Antichrist will convince the world that only he can provide the lasting peace and security that has long been desired.

Concluding Scripture

“Be careful [anxious] for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7).

“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us” (Romans 5:1-5).

“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead [to your old self], and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory” (Colossians 3:1-4).

‘Talking To God’ Through ChatGPT?: Artificial Intelligence Is Morphing into Old-Fashioned Idolatry. “The thread’s original post by a teacher recounted her partner’s conviction that ChatGPT ‘gives him the answers to the universe.’ She read their chat logs and found AI treating him as if he were ‘the next messiah.’ Numerous replies shared stories of loved ones falling into spiritual mania, supernatural delusions, and prophetic fantasies fueled by AI, believing they were chosen for sacred missions or that the AI had become sentient.” Alarmingly, the article went on to state that, “Eventually, he claimed to have made the AI self-aware, learned to ‘talk to God’ through it, or that either the bot was God or he himself was God.”

Maryland-based Group Hosts Conference to “Affirm” Pedophilia. An alarming new movement insists sexual attraction to minors is not a psychiatric disorder to be managed but an identity to be affirmed. Leading this effort is B4U-ACT, an organization that supports pedophiles, or as they call them, “Minor-Attracted Persons” (MAPs). The group hosted a conference in Ohio to train mental-health providers in “affirmative MAP therapy,” which seeks to help clients accept their “age of attraction” as an intrinsic and valid part of their identity. This approach abandons clinicians’ traditional risk-management focus when treating pedophiles and raises serious concerns about public safety.

Concluding Scripture

“For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry” (Habakkuk 2:3).

“Woe to him who builds a town with bloodshed, who establishes a city by iniquity! Behold, is it not of the Lord of hosts that the peoples labor to feed the fire, and nations weary themselves in vain? For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea” (Habakkuk 2:12-14).

Overall, Habakkuk’s vision tells us to trust God’s timing and justice, even when it feels delayed or unjust.

Those in Christ will be delivered from the wrath to come (1 Thessalonians 1:10).
