Bible Prophecy And The United Nations’ Demand For A ‘Two-State Solution’
It almost feels a bit surreal. I have been aware of the seventieth week of Daniel’s prophecy at least since my seminary days in the late 1970s. As a young pastor, I spent many Sunday evenings teaching through the book of Daniel, … Now, as I watch the world clamoring to bring peace to the Mideast by seeking to impose a peace accord upon Israel, I wonder, “How much closer can we get to the Tribulation without the Rapture happening?”

DFL-backed Omar Fateh seeks left-wing takedown of already progressive Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey
On a since-deleted website, Fateh celebrated the Minneapolis City Council’s decision to defund the police and praised an amendment to the city charter that would have replaced the MPD. A Minneapolis Marxist looking to become the Zohran Mamdani of the North Star State is offering an even more extreme program of woke goodies on a platform that would enact race-based housing policy, prevent evictions from rental properties, and codify public financing for the state’s annual “Trans Equity Summit.”

Katz vows to strengthen hold over Jerusalem, including Temple Mount 
Defense Minister Israel Katz on Sunday pledged to reinforce Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem and its holy sites, as Jews around the world marked Tisha B’Av, the annual fast commemorating the destruction of the First and Second Temples. “Two thousand years after the destruction of the Second Temple, the Western Wall and the Temple Mount are again under the sovereignty of the State of Israel,” Katz wrote on X following a visit to the Western Wall in the capital’s Old City. “Israel haters around the world continue to make decisions against us and protest, and we will strengthen our hold and sovereignty over Jerusalem,” he added.

On the Jewish fast day of Tisha B’Av, which mourns the destruction of the First and Second Temples, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir ascended the Temple Mount, joining thousands of Jewish visitors expected to visit and pray throughout the day. Under Ben-Gvir’s policy, Israeli police have allowed Jewish visitors to sing, pray in the eastern section of the mount, and even prostrate, a significant shift from the longstanding status quo that prohibits overt Jewish worship at the flashpoint site. … Associates of Ben-Gvir hailed the moment as “a monumental change that hasn’t happened in a thousand years,”

Netanyahu: Hamas wants to break us – We will eliminate them
I saw the horrific videos of our precious sons, Rom and Evyatar. I called their families and embraced them on behalf of myself, my wife, and all of you,” Netanyahu began. He continued: “You see them wasting away in a dungeon. But the Hamas monsters surrounding them – they are well-fed, with thick arms. They have everything they need to eat. They are starving our boys the way the Nazis starved the Jews. And when I see this, I understand exactly what Hamas wants. They don’t want a deal – they want to break us with these horror videos, with the false and grotesque propaganda they spread around the world.” “But we will not break. I am filled with even greater determination – to free our kidnapped sons, to eliminate Hamas,

Hostage families: Hamas can’t hide its evil, each hostage death is on their hands
“Hamas’s announcement about their willingness to cooperate with the Red Cross to deliver food to hostages, cannot hide the fact that we are dealing with an evil terrorist organization that has been holding innocent people in impossible conditions for over 660 days. We demand the immediate release of all 50 hostages. Until their release, Hamas has the obligation to provide them with everything they need. Hamas kidnapped them and they must care for them. Every hostage who dies will be on Hamas’s hands.”

Russian Kamchatka Volcano Erupts After Centuries of Dormancy
The volcano Krasjeninnikov sent ash six kilometers up in the air during the outbreak on Sunday night. The ash spread over uninhabited areas, according to the authorities in Kamtjatka.

“Forecast Models Perk Up”: Atlantic Hurricane Season Enters Active Months
Only three named storms (Andrea, Barry, and Chantal) have formed so far during this year’s Atlantic hurricane season. While it’s been quiet since hurricane season began on June 1, nearly 200 years of historical data suggest activity in the Atlantic Basin typically begins to ramp up around this time. The latest data from the National Hurricane Center shows an “area of disturbance” in the Atlantic Basin, with a 30% chance of forming over the next seven days.

Revolution Camp: Unhinged White Liberals Spend Weekend Smashing Junk In Anti-Trump Fury
The permanent protest-industrial complex, bankrolled by dark-money leftist NGOs, was at it again Saturday, orchestrating yet another nationwide demonstration, this time branded “Rage Against the Regime,” targeting President Trump. As with previous actions, the protests were primarily attended by crazed, elderly white liberals. The Democrats and their NGO machine have lost not just the narrative but are drifting deeper into irrelevance. The dark-money-funded NGOs behind the permanent protest-industrial complex have grown increasingly frustrated; so much so that they reportedly offered $20 million to a ‘rent-a-protester’ firm.

Iran Accused Of Kidnap Plot As US, Allies Warn Of Growing Threats In West 
It was a chilling message in a call from the police: “The Islamic republic is trying to kidnap you and take you to Iran.” Darya Safai, a Belgian lawmaker of Iranian origin, revealed details of the call this week. In an interview with RFE/RL’s Radio Farda, she said the plot followed earlier death threats from Iran. “The security forces themselves were really surprised at how it was possible for them to be going after a member of parliament because this is an open declaration of war against European countries,” she said. Safai’s is not an isolated case.

A Real Life Economic Nightmare: How Would You Feel If You Had Applied For 900 Jobs Without Any Success At All?
If you have applied for hundreds of jobs and still find yourself out of work, you are certainly not alone. In many industries, it is absolutely brutal out there right now. U.S. employers have been laying off hundreds of thousands of workers in 2025, and there is immense competition for any good jobs that do happen to be available. So if you have a good job that you highly value, I would hold on to it as tightly as you can, because you don’t want to end up among the desperate hordes that are scrambling for work in this very harsh economic environment. For example, a 46-year-old woman in Florida that was laid off last September has applied for 900 jobs without any success at all…

Karl Marx claimed he was an atheist but displayed satanic tendencies
In the same decade that Marx wrote ‘The Communist Manifesto’, Kengor pointed out, he was also writing demonic poems and plays. Marx was born in 1818 in the very Catholic town of Trier, Germany, Kengor explained. Marx was baptised as a Christian in 1824, even though he was born into an Orthodox Jewish family. “[There] were a bunch of Rabbis in the family,” Kengor said. So how did it come to Marx being baptised into the Christian faith? Was Marx a satanist? There are strong indications that he could have been,

Reverse water carrier set to begin pumping into Sea of Galilee, three years after completion 
Three years after construction was completed and the reverse water carrier – designed to transfer desalinated water via the National Water Carrier to the Sea of Galilee – was inaugurated, the project is set to be activated for the first time this coming October, Kan News reported Tuesday.

As more countries express willingness to recognize a Palestinian state, some express reservation over Hamas role 
The government of France was not successful in its attempt to get a large number of countries to recognize a Palestinian state during the UN Conference on the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the implementation of the two-state solution in New York on Tuesday. While several countries expressed interest in joining a future resolution on such a recognition, France failed to secure a definitive statement at the conference. Several Arab states have stated that any recognition of a Palestinian state should be contingent on the disarmament of Hamas and its removal from Gaza.

Europe is encouraging a new age of terrorism
Just as Palestinians rose to world attention storming schools, hijacking airplanes, and even attacking the Olympics, new aspirants will try to win international support by targeting European airlines and taking European hostages. If terrorism is a wildfire, Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron — who announced on July 24 that France would also recognize Palestine — have chosen to pour gasoline rather than water on it.

Hamas Says It Won’t Disarm Unless Independent Palestinian State Established
Hamas said on Saturday that it would not disarm unless an independent Palestinian state is established – a fresh rebuke to a key Israeli demand to end the war in Gaza.

All this technology will be our enslavement, as anyone with a King James Bible and capable of a 4th-grade reading comprehension level can tell you.

“No One Can Be That Wrong” – Trump Fires Labor Statistics Boss After “RIGGED” Jobs Data
I was just informed that our Country’s “Jobs Numbers” are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala’s chances of Victory. This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and September, by 112,000. These were Records — No one can be that wrong? We need accurate Jobs Numbers.

Chicago Tries To Hide From ACLJ Lawsuit
ncreasingly, cities across the country – including New York and Chicago – are treating Christian evangelism as a public nuisance.

This is not just about three young men in Chicago. It’s about the larger effort to erase public Christianity from our cities.

 Zero: Ed Miliband’s Ponzi scheme
The Net Zero agenda is a Ponzi scheme.  Each stage is an abject failure, leading to further grandiose and costly initiatives. The UK’s attempts to reduce hydrocarbon fuel use have led to importing energy from elsewhere, and initiatives like wind turbines and solar panels have proven virtually useless. The proposed solutions, such as capturing energy from wind turbines and solar panels using batteries, are impractical and will lead to further environmental and economic problems. The only beneficiaries of “Net Zero” are those who set up the scheme.

The UK’s Online Safety Act is normalising rule-breaking and driving a wedge between the state and the people
At the end of July, the Online Safety Act introduced age verification for accessing “adult content” in the UK.  It has led to a surge in interest in Virtual Private Networks (“VPNs”) to bypass the restrictions. The increased use of VPNs will drive a wedge between the state and people, normalising rule-breaking and contributing to a breakdown of trust in the Government, similar to what has been seen with smokers and gamblers who find ways to circumvent regulations.

Desecrating the Dead: Even the Graves Aren’t Safe in Multicultural Europe
Last Sunday night in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands, two hijab-clad Muslim women were caught on video stealing a bouquet of flowers from a freshly dug grave — that of Leffert Veenstra (48), a beloved local car dealer buried just hours earlier. Even in death, infidels aren’t granted peace. Not their land. Not their symbols. Not even their mourning.
