Live: Trump says Israel, Hamas both signed off on first phase of Gaza peace plan
Israel and Hamas have signed off on the first phase of the US-proposed Gaza deal, allowing for the release of all Israeli hostages, US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday. “I am very proud to announce that Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first Phase of our Peace Plan,” Trump said on Truth Social. “We express our deepest gratitude as the historic agreement has been signed — the hostages, our brothers and sisters, are coming home,” Lifshitz said in a statement.

EF5 tornado that killed 3 in North Dakota was the nation’s first in 12 years
A deadly tornado that tore across southeastern North Dakota this summer has been upgraded to an EF5 with winds topping 200 mph (322 kph), the strongest classification of tornado and the first confirmed on American soil in a dozen years, meteorologists said Monday. The June 20 twister near the town of Enderlin killed three people and at its largest was 1.05 miles wide (1.7 kilometers), carving a path across the prairie for just over 12 miles (19 kilometers). Meteorologists from the National Weather Service office in Grand Forks estimated the tornado’s winds reached 210 mph (338 kph), according to the newly released analysis.

Hamas and Israel enter a third day of Gaza peace talks with top Trump envoy expected to join
Israel and Hamas entered a third day of peace talks at an Egyptian resort Wednesday, with more senior officials from the United States, Israel and mediating countries expected to join — a sign that negotiators aim to tackle the toughest issues of an American plan to end the war in Gaza. Hamas says it is seeking firm guarantees from U.S. President Donald Trump and mediators that Israel will not resume its military campaign in the Palestinian territory after the militant group releases all the remaining hostages.

Kavanaugh Would-Be Assassin’s Light Sentence Sends Message That Violent Left Faces Different Standard utm_objective=website_traffic&utm_source=email&utm_campaign=amac&utm_medium=daily_news_pm&utm_content=kwb100825&dderh=e6a5796e9782b40567a7b458db6fd6f2
It seems in the wake of increasing political violence, assassinations, and left-wing terrorism, you can count on left-leaning judges to go easy on perpetrators. That’s the takeaway from the lenient sentencing of Nicholas Roske, a man—who now identifies as a woman—convicted of attempting to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Supreme Court seems skeptical about state bans on ‘conversion therapy’ for LGBTQ+ kids
A majority of Supreme Court justices on Tuesday seemed likely to side with a Christian counselor challenging bans on LGBTQ+ “conversion therapy” for kids as a violation of her First Amendment rights. Kaley Chiles, with support from President Donald Trump’s administration, argues the laws passed by about half of U.S. states wrongly bar her from offering voluntary, faith-based therapy for kids. She’s challenging the law in Colorado. The state says its measure simply regulates licensed therapists by barring a practice that’s been scientifically discredited and linked to serious harm. But the court’s conservative majority didn’t seem convinced

Trump: This is more than Gaza, this is peace in the Middle East
“So much is happening to get the hostages freed. And we think they’ll all be coming back on Monday. So it looks like that’s the thing, and that’ll include the bodies of the dead,” Trump noted that the whole world came together in order to reach this deal, adding, “So many countries that you wouldn’t have even thought of it, and they came together. The world has come together around this deal. So many countries that you wouldn’t have thought of, have wired their best wishes and their commitment to do whatever is necessary.”

US expected to attend Paris meeting on Gaza transition, diplomatic sources say
The meeting, to be held in parallel with indirect talks between Israel and Hamas in Egypt on US President Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza, is intended to discuss how the plan would be implemented and assess countries’ collective commitments to the process. the meeting will follow up on a conference regarding a “two-state solution” at the United Nations and is intended to agree on joint actions to contribute to the US plan for Gaza. The two-state solution would involve an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel.

Against All Odds, I Saw Signs of Hope for Israel and America at the United Nations
This realignment gives us reason to hope again: could the geopolitical chessboard at last be stabilizing? When we exchanged Shana Tova greetings with President Zelensky, we could feel the hope — and the prospect — of a shared victory in the year ahead: for Ukraine, for the Jewish people, and for Israel.

Ted Cruz Demands Nigeria Be Held Accountabile For Not Protecting Christians From Mass Slaughter
As violence against Nigerian Christians continues to surge, one American senator is pressing Nigerian officials to protect their people from persecution. “Officials in Nigeria are ignoring and even facilitating the mass murder of Christians by Islamist jihadists,” Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) charged in a social media post Friday, highlighting news of 5,000 Nigerians fleeing their home country for neighboring Cameroon in the face of attacks by jihadist militia Boko Haram. “It’s time to hold those responsible accountable,” Cruz said,

The location is in southern Siberia.

“We Found A Network Of NGOs, Not Just Soros”: Trump Briefed On Left-Wing Machine That Sows Chaos
According to GAI’s findings, the chaos now gripping cities like Portland, Chicago, and Los Angeles — especially the recent waves of anti-ICE violence — isn’t spontaneous. It’s organized, coordinated, and funded. Bruner’s new research maps how progressive philanthropic networks intersect with activist groups that have escalated from demonstrations to riots. “I think we know that this is not just a story about violence and chaos … this is a money story,” Bruner told President Trump. we follow the money, and we followed it to the top of what we call the protest industrial complex.”

Senate Republicans Use New Rule To Confirm 107 Trump Nominees
It’s the largest block of confirmations yet, with 107 Trump nominees set to fill their roles despite being blocked for several months by Senate Democrats. The confirmations mark a sudden but welcome change in the long term standoff that whittled down the remaining pending nominees on the Senate’s calendar to double digits.

Trump Says Hamas & Israel Agree To ‘First Phase’ Of Peace Deal, Secures Hostage Release
Following SecState Rubio’s earlier interruption, it appears his note to President Trump was spot on. President Trump Just posted on social media that Israel and the terror group Hamas have agreed to the first phase of a peace deal that would put an end to the grueling and bloody Gaza conflict after two years.

Giving Tomahawk Cruise Missiles To Ukraine Would Be An Absolutely Insane Thing To Do
Do you know why Joe Biden never gave Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine while he was in the White House? Even at such an extremely advanced state of mental decline, Biden still understood that allowing the Ukrainians to have such missiles would put us right on the brink of nuclear war. In addition to supplying the missiles, we would have to supply the delivery platforms, and we would literally have to guide the missiles to their targets. So from Russia’s perspective, these would be American missiles that are fired from American delivery platforms and that are guided to their targets by American personnel. Most of the time, Tomahawk cruise missiles carry conventional warheads, but they were originally designed to also be capable of carrying nuclear warheads. So how would the Russians respond if cruise missiles that are capable of carrying nuclear warheads are suddenly rocketing toward their cities?

Gold Hits $4,000 For The First Time Ever And Silver Is Closing In On $50 As The U.S. Dollar Collapses
It is exciting to see the price of gold soar to unprecedented levels, but we should also be horrified by what is happening to the U.S. dollar. For years, many of us warned that debasing our currency was a really bad idea. There are two primary ways that our leaders have done this. Firstly, we have added more than 27 trillion dollars to the national debt since 2009. Borrowing money that we do not have and pumping it into the economy temporarily raises our standard of living, but it also debases our currency. Secondly, the Federal Reserve created trillions of dollars out of thin air and used it to buy bonds. A lot of pundits hailed “quantitative easing” as a wonderful thing when it was introduced, but it has had very serious consequences. Now the wealthy are swimming in cash, but the value of our currency has plummeted and our standard of living has crashed. The first half of 2025 was the worst first half of a year for the U.S. dollar in more than 50 years. In other words, the purchasing power of your money has gone way down.”

How Islam Conquered Another Major U.S. City
“The Islamic call to prayer — the Adhan — now blasts across Minneapolis five times a day on public loudspeakers. Even at 3:30 AM. This didn’t happen overnight. It’s been building for decades.”

This world is in defiance of God, as seen in every news cycle. The murderous violence must certainly rival the antediluvian days of Noah.

At the same time, it should make perfect sense to believers who trust God to be in absolute control at all times: He has never sent judgment and wrath without pleading, corrective, attention-getting measures, and unmistakable warning signals of impending doom to the rebels who shake their fists in His face, then turn their backs to the only One who knows the end from the beginning. America and the world are almost surely at the latter end of the divine yardstick of judgment, which measures the extent of the Lord’s lovingly generous—though not infinite—patience.

Most who study Bible prophecy have, through the years, rolled the thought over and over in their minds: “Why isn’t America mentioned in Bible prophecy?” Many have concluded that the United States must suffer a catastrophic fate—from the outside or the inside. The nation’s destiny is one of either implosion or explosion–detonations that, in either case, will spell the end for the most technologically advanced country in history.

Surely God will not allow the American ship of state to slip beneath the crushing waves of the times without clear signals that we are nearing shoals that cannot be navigated.

Words from Jesus Himself bring to mind current crises gripping the US and, by extension, the entire world. The passage is quite familiar to students of prophecy:

“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring” (Luke 21:25).

Whether considering this combination of end-times signs figuratively or literally, a case can be made that the present national and world circumstances might be the time Jesus was speaking about.

This generation has seen wonders in the sky. Humanity has accomplished space adventures in going to the moon and other planets with machinery. We have witnessed astrophysical phenomena through the Hubble telescope, gigantic sun eruptions, fantastic photos of a comet slamming into Jupiter, and the losses of the Challenger and the Columbia. Then, there are the signs in the sun, moon, and stars.

Recently, there are scientists who continue to monitor asteroids and other stellar phenomena that are “fly-bys” potentially threatening the planet. Some scientists who observe the sun, moon, and stars believe the planet will one day, perhaps soon, experience a major impact from one of these visitors from deep space.

My good friend who is now with the Lord, Tom Horn, wrote much about the major asteroid-type space rock called Apophis, scheduled to pass close to the Earth on April 13, 2029. He conjectured it could be the mountain-like object of Revelation that is prophetically scheduled to hit the ocean and cause great destruction during the Tribulation.

The latter part of the Luke 21:25 prophecy also leaps to the forefront of thinking about the present hour. We’ve recently seen the figurative and literal seas roaring. Figuratively, all nations seem to be in great turmoil, with their peoples in societal and cultural tumult. The literally roaring waves have produced the costliest devastation in recorded history to nations around the world within just the past months. However, it is the middle part of the prophecy that most dramatically speaks to this generation.

Jesus said the nations will, near the time of His return, be in “perplexity.” The implication is that the leaders will be floundering for answers to the profound dilemmas confronting them. The perplexity will only cause them to go farther into rebellion, we can gather from the psalmist’s words:

“The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us” (Psalms 2:23).

The United Nations is in overt rebellion against God’s order, as we witness almost all member states coming against Israel, demanding that the Jewish state give up land to the so-called Palestinians in a two-state solution to the perennial Middle East conflict.

The fact is, we are in a time of unprecedented “perplexity,” so far as my memory serves. The leaderships of the world’s nations are in turmoil, with the economic stresses and strains threatening worldwide fiscal collapse. We have increasingly been told by top monetary experts that we face economic Armageddon if something isn’t done to straighten out the fiscal problems. In all the scrambling, finger-pointing, and doomsday rhetoric, one fact is powerfully obvious by omission: Not one of them has been heard calling out to God. Not one mention of soliciting help from the God of Heaven has been forthcoming, so far as I’ve heard. Certainly, asking God’s help hasn’t been heard in a public way.

As I write this, America’s unusually gifted president, in terms of his proven business acumen, continues to work on “fixing” the economic disaster the previous administration and the ideology it inflicted on the nation. I believe this is bringing this generation to the “business as usual” days of Lot that Jesus said will be prevalent at the time of the Rapture. We will see how it plays out.

I continue to believe that Mr. Trump might be in the most powerful political/governmental office on Earth to produce the upbeat economy Jesus said would be in place when He next catastrophically intervenes in the Rapture. I’ve outlined my thoughts many times in this regard when addressing the Luke 17:28-30 prophecy.

In a larger prophetic context, the swift economic movement and turbulence currently taking place is not without its significance, God’s Word assures. There is coming a completely satanized (if that is a word) economic order. We are seeing a major start to that coming global rearrangement. The fiscal problems will get “fixed,” ultimately.

I’m convinced it will happen during the time that follows the Rapture of the Church. But the peoples left on this judgment-bound planet won’t like the change the decisions of the politicians of the world–apart from God Almighty—will produce for them.

The luciferian machinery of enslavement is churning America and the nations it so traumatically affects, in terms of economic equilibrium, toward the Beast system of the Tribulation.

“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six” (Revelation 13:16-18).

It will be the worst time of human history, according to Jesus (Matthew 24:25). If you know Him as Savior, you won’t have to go through the Great Tribulation. Here is how to go to Christ when He calls God’s family–all born-again Christians—to Himself in the Rapture:

“That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10).
