Matthew 28:18-20; “And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in Heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you to the end of the age.” This is what’s known as the Great Commission. (ESV – all emphasis is mine.)

Just before Jesus ascended back to Heaven, He gave His disciples instructions that they stay in Jerusalem and wait for the promise of the Father. He stated (Acts 1:5), “For John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” This was fulfilled in Acts 2. The event was so amazing that, as verse 41 states, “So those who received his word [Peter] were baptized, and there were added that day about 3,000 souls.”

Of course, not everyone was impressed by this, as it threatened the religious temple rulers’ livelihood. They could just see their “treasured influence” slipping away with the boldness of the Holy Spirit-filled apostles. We’re told that each day saw more souls being saved, and the rulers had the apostles put into custody; but even so, about 5,000 more souls were saved (Acts 4:4).

The apostle Paul was a persecutor of the “Church,” which was also known as “The Way,” until he had his encounter directly with Jesus on the road to Damascus. Previously, he had attended the stoning of Stephen and was totally in favor of that act. His name at that time was Saul, and he was from Tarsus. He was a part of the religious sect that hated “Christians” and did all he could to persecute and condemn them (Acts 22).

Once Paul met Jesus on the road to Damascus (Acts 9), he became a true believer almost immediately. A large portion of the New Testament consists of “letters” that Paul had written, declaring that Jesus is the true Son of God, who came to this earth as a human to provide for us the only sinless blood sacrifice that our Heavenly Father could ever accept for the remission of our sins.

As zealous as Saul had been about persecuting believers, he became even more adamant that Jesus is the only true Son of God who deserves our full worship and praise. His road on this earth was not an easy one, as he himself was persecuted all the way to his death in Rome.

All he would have had to do was back down and remain silent in his beliefs. However, he plainly stated in Philippians 1:21-24, “For to live is Christ, and to die is gain. If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I choose, I cannot tell. If I am hard pressed between the two, my desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account.”

Paul had no illusions about how he would be treated after his conversion, yet he remained faithful to the Lord throughout the remainder of his life. Jesus allowed Paul to be persecuted as He said to Ananias in Acts 9:15-16: “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of Mine to carry My name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel. For I will show him how much He must suffer for the sake of My name.”

All who truly follow our Savior’s Great Commission are a true blessing. Keeping messages strictly to the scriptures without adding or deleting the Father’s word is what is expected of all who preach and proclaim the word of the Lord.

We read in 1 John 2:22-25, “Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ. This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also.”

There were antichrists and false prophets all the way back to the days when our Jesus was on the earth. They have been making a pathway for the ultimate antichrist to appear to be the ruler of the seven-year tribulation.

Our Heavenly Father allows “All who call on the name of the Lord” to be saved and to have a home in Heaven prepared for them (Joel 2:32; Acts 2:21 and Romans 10:13). Our Heavenly Home will be prepared by Jesus Himself as stated in John 14:1-3.

Being “baptized in the Lord” is to fully acknowledge that we have received and accepted Jesus as our true Savior and are committed to become a part of His precious flock. He is the true Shepherd who will not lead us astray, but has provided all we need to be with Him forever.

Ephesians 2:8-9 is very specific: “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God, not a result of works so that no one may boast.”

In 1982, Kirk Talley wrote a song that was performed by the Cathedrals and later by Legacy Five. Anytime I hear “Step Into The Water,” I can hear and see in my mind both George Yount and Glenn Dustin, and remember their wonderful, deep bass voices inspiring whole audiences at their performances. I would recommend going to YouTube to hear them for yourselves.

Ref) Step into the water; wade out a little bit deeper; wet your feet in the water of His love. Step into the water; wade out a little bit deeper; come join angels singing praises to the Lamb of God.

1) It’s time we, the people, stand up for what is right. It’s time we squared our shoulders back and raised our swords to fight. For the Bible is my weapon, and the Spirit is my Shield; the Church needs more of its members to be workers in the field. (ref)

2) There is victory for the Christian who walks the narrow way; there has been a prize appointed for the soul who does not stray. Oh, I want to live for Jesus, and be all that I should be, so that I can rest with Him, forever in Eternity. (Refx3)

As I’ve stated many times before, Matthew 24:36 tells us we don’t know the day or hour that our Savior will return to call us up to meet Him in the clouds. For all who have already received and accepted Him as Savior, it doesn’t matter when because we’re always ready.

For all who do not have Jesus in their hearts, your odds would be better at gambling in Las Vegas than taking a chance of missing the Rapture and going into the seven-year tribulation. It will be a time that will be worse than this earth has experienced so far. God has made it possible for all who receive and accept His Son to miss that awful time (1 Thessalonians 1:10; 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10 and Revelation 3:10).

Seeing all that’s taking place in this world today, the prophecies of the Heavenly Father’s Bible have been completely accurate and are totally up to date. We could hear the Trumpet of God and the shout from the archangel just about any day, any hour, and even any moment now (1 Corinthians 15:51-53; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17).

The biggest question each person must answer for themselves is, are the things of this earth more valuable than my eternal soul? For me and my family, we’re ready to leave everything here and be with our Lord and Savior forever.

Maranatha! Come, Lord Jesus! Shalom! Peace to You!

UNHCR to Cut 3,500 Jobs Amid Funding Shortfall
Almost a third of the jobs at the UN’s refugee agency UNHCR will disappear to cover increased costs and lack of funding. A total of 3,500 jobs are involved. “In light of the tough economic situation, UNHCR is forced to scale down its operations”, says the High Commissioner and top manager Filippo Grandi in a statement.

Live on air: Israel bombs Iranian state TV after unprecedented evacuation notice for Tehran
The Israeli Air Force (IAF) bombed targets in the Iranian capital Tehran on Monday afternoon, including the studio of the state-affiliated TV channel, after issuing a first-of-its kind evacuation notice for an entire neighborhood in the city. “Dear citizens, for your safety, we ask you to immediately leave the mentioned area in District 3 of Tehran,” said the IDF Persian-language spokesman, Master Sgt. (res.) Kamal Penhasi. “In the coming hours, the Israeli army will operate in this area, as it has in recent days throughout Tehran, to strike the Iranian regime’s military infrastructure,” the warning continued. “Your presence in this area puts your life at risk.”

France Blocks Israeli Arms Booths at Paris Air Show
The stands belonging to the companies Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), Rafael, Uvision, Elbit and Aeronautics are now surrounded by a large, provisional wall that does not allow insight. According to a French government source, the companies showed “attack weapons” that, among other things, are used in the Gaza Strip, which is said to have broken the rules of the fair. Israeli companies have signed contracts with the organizers. It’s like they’re creating an Israeli ghetto,

U.S. Sends Nimitz, Destroyers, and Refueling Fleet Toward Middle East as Israel-Iran War Intensifies
The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Nimitz, along with several Navy destroyers, and a surge of military air refueling planes are heading toward the Middle East as Washington strengthens its military posture amid the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. The Nimitz canceled a scheduled port call in Vietnam and on Monday was transiting the Malacca Strait toward the Indian Ocean, according to Marine Traffic, a ship-tracking site.

IDF intercepts missile attack on northern Israel | PM Netanyahu: No interest in talks with Iran now | US reinforces troops in Middle East
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar announced he finished a phone call with Kaja Kallas, the European Union’s chief diplomat. Sa’ar stated he “updated her on IDF activity in Iran and the civilian casualties in Israel. I emphasized that Israel’s actions against the Iranian nuclear program, ballistic missiles, and drones directly contribute to European security.” “I made it clear that we have not finished the job and will work to complete it.

The cybersecurity company Radware announced on Sunday that cyber attacks against Israel had increased by 700% since the Israeli military launched “Operation Rising Lion” on Thursday night, targeting the Iranian regime’s nuclear and military assets. The company reported a “significant escalation in malicious network activity targeting Israeli infrastructure.”… both Iranian state actors and pro-ayatollah regime hackers are involved in the ongoing cyberattacks against the Jewish state and its critical infrastructure.

Former US VP Mike Pence says Israel’s attack on Iran ‘was a righteous act,’ calls out Tucker Carlson
“From my standpoint, it was a righteous act and the United States should continue to provide material support to Israel,” Pence stated. “Israel acted alone on Friday morning, but Israel is not alone.” He said that the attack was justified due to Iran’s support for terrorist groups, and in order to prevent them from acquiring a nuclear weapon.

Israeli Air Force destroys one third of Iran’s missile launchers, kills IRGC intel chiefs
The Israeli Air Force (IAF) hit dozens of targets across Iran on Sunday while maintaining its air superiority in Iranian skies. According to a statement from IDF Spokesman Brig.-Gen. Effie Defrin, the Israel Defense Forces have now destroyed more than 120 missile launchers, around one-third of the regime’s total number of launchers.

What the Israeli strikes on Iran teach U.S. leaders about victory
Israel’s precision strikes on Iranian military infrastructure sent shockwaves through Tehran—and delivered a message to Washington that too many U.S. policymakers and uniformed leaders forgot: Wars are not won with caution, ambiguity, or half-measures. Clarity of objective, brilliance in execution, and the will to finish the fight wins wars.

‘Dirty bomb’ attack: This could be Iran’s next move against Israel
f Khamenei wants to make good on his threats, his next step will likely be to hit Israel with dirty bombs to spread radiation over large sections of its urban areas. The Islamic Republic continues to fire missiles at Israel. Israel and its allies shoot down most, but a few continue to get through. While Israel can continue its air and missile strikes to degrade the regime’s nuclear and military sites and eliminate its leadership, the Iranian military essentially flails ineffectively.

Report: IDF destroyed backup copy of Iran’s nuclear archive
The IDF recently carried out a significant operation targeting the Iranian nuclear program, striking what is believed to be a critical component of the Islamic Republic’s efforts to preserve its nuclear weapons research. Channel 12 journalist Amit Segal reported Monday that one of the key targets in the latest operation was the backup copy of Iran’s nuclear archive, containing extensive documentation of the regime’s knowledge and progress in developing nuclear weapons.

A blunder for the history books: How was Tehran so ill-prepared for war with Israel?
Iran was caught by surprise when Israel carried out strikes early Friday morning. The war is now in its fourth day, and Tehran continues to be taken by surprise and is unable to respond to the attacks. Why is the Islamic Republic reeling so much from a war that was long discussed and that it threatened for years?

Likely All Machines at Iran’s Main Enrichment Plant ‘Severely Damaged’, IAEA Chief Says
It is very likely all the roughly 15,000 centrifuges operating at Iran’s biggest uranium enrichment plant at Natanz were badly damaged or destroyed because of a power cut caused by an Israeli strike, the UN nuclear watchdog chief told the BBC on Monday. Power cuts pose a threat to the fragile, finely balanced machines that spin at extremely high speeds.

Iran Urges Trump to Make Israel Halt War; Netanyahu Hails ‘Path to Victory’
Iran called on US President Donald Trump on Monday to force Israel to cease fire as the only way to end the four-day-old aerial war, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country was on the “path to victory.”

The anti-Israel, pro-Iran faction on the right lost Trump
The other big loser in this struggle is a “woke right” faction of the conservative movement in the United States that opposes Israel and has been fervently opposed to any action to stop Iran from gaining nuclear weapons. The most prominent of these voices on the right is former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, whose shows and posts on the X platform reach many millions of people. As I’ve noted previously, Carlson is adamant about his distaste for Israel and his willingness to shill for the Iranian regime as well as its ally Qatar.

Trump Orders ICE To Increase Targeted Deportations In Key ‘Crime-Ridden And Dangerous’ Dem-Run Cities
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers have been directed to expand what President Donald Trump called the “single largest mass deportation operation” in U.S. history, with a focus on “crime-ridden and dangerous” areas in major Democrat-led cities. Trump made the announcement Sunday in a post on Truth Social, days after suggesting he would ease enforcement on farmers, hotels, and hospitality businesses that have reported negative impacts from his administration’s nationwide immigration crackdown.

Commanded To Watch: Are You Greatly Anticipating The Lord’s Return?
Today, the Lord’s command for us to “watch” is perhaps the most ignored of all His direct instructions to His followers. I can’t remember hearing a sermon about it, although many pastors stress the necessity of the Great Commission because the Lord commanded us to spread the Gospel to the world. After the Lord answered the disciples’ questions regarding the signs that would mark His “coming and the end of the age” in His Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24:3ff), He gave His followers (us) three specific instructions: “Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming” (Matthew 24:42). “Therefore, you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect” (Matthew 24:44). “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour” (Matthew 25:13).

A severe hailstorm struck La Roda, Albacete Province in southeastern Spain at around 18:00 LT on June 15, 2025, bringing 70 mm (2.7 inches) of rainfall within 15 minutes and hailstones up to 4 cm (1.6 inches) in diameter. It is still ongoing as of June 16.

There Are Signs That U.S. Military Action In The Middle East Could Be Imminent – Will Iran Respond By Using Unconventional Weapons?
Just within the past few hours there have been monumental developments regarding the war in the Middle East. As you will see below, there are signs that President Trump has made some sort of really big decision. Events are moving so rapidly now. In fact, I had to come up with an entirely new outline for this article because conditions have changed so quickly. On his Truth Social account, Trump just posted a very ominous message that urged the entire population of Tehran to “immediately evacuate”…

Why Are Large Numbers Of U.S. Air Force KC-135R Stratotankers And KC-46 Pegasus Tankers Flying East Across The Atlantic?
Did President Trump just pull the trigger on a major decision? When dozens of U.S. Air Force tankers started taking off from their bases, all sorts of speculation started to erupt on social media. And then when those tankers started flying east across the Atlantic, the level of speculation escalated to a frenzy. As I write this article, the Pentagon has still not explained what all of these tankers are doing. But TWZ has accurately noted that what we are witnessing is “very peculiar”…

The Tennessee Funeral Directors Association has publicly acknowledged the existence of white fibrous clots in corpses, with 64% of embalmers and funeral directors attending its Convention reporting sightings of the clots in the first half of 2025. The clots were found in an average of 17% of all corpses. In addition to the white rubbery clots caused by the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, 70% of respondents reported signs of micro-clotting, and 39% observed an increase in infant deaths in 2025.

Israel kills Iranian intel chiefs, strikes deep inside Iran, opens ‘air corridor to Tehran’
Israel on Sunday attacked dozens of sites in Iran — including energy sites, radar systems, and ballistic missiles and their launchers — and killed Iran’s top intelligence officers on the third day of its ongoing campaign against the Islamic Republic’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs.

AI-generated videos are becoming so realistic that they are becoming difficult to spot
Google’s Veo 3 AI video generation model has been put to the “Will Smith eating spaghetti” test, which has become a popular metric for evaluating the realism of AI-generated videos. Users have generated videos of Will Smith eating spaghetti using Veo 3, and the results have shown significant improvements in realism. The videos are so realistic that they have caused concern. People will have to train their eyes to spot the fakes.

How drug companies bribed doctors to vaccinate, vaccinate and vaccinate
The vaccine industry and government have bribed doctors to promote vaccination. GPs receive bonus payments for vaccinating patients, creating a conflict of interest. Doctors who question vaccination are punished with lower pay, while those who comply are rewarded, leading to a loss of professionalism and integrity in the medical field.

‘Kill Infidel Americans’: Al-Qaeda Issues Direct Order to Muslims in the U.S.
As riots erupt in Los Angeles, a chilling new video from Al-Qaeda’s Sa’ad al-Awlaki calls for open jihad and the assassination of American leaders. Read Robert Spencer’s powerful exposé at PJ Media to understand the full scope of the threat we now face.

NYC Mosque Hired Convicted Al-Qaeda Terrorist to Teach Kids—Founded by Indicted Democrat Insider
A convicted Al-Qaeda terrorist, Tarek Mehanna—once jailed for plotting mass murder and celebrating beheadings—was hired to teach Quran to children as young as four at the Muslim Community Center of Staten Island, a mosque founded by indicted ex–City Hall official Mohamed Bahi and backed by a radical “interfaith” grant, exposing a shocking pipeline of jihadist indoctrination enabled by New York’s political class.

3 Potential Trigger Events Which Could Cause The U.S. To Get Directly Involved In Attacking Iran
Are other nations going to get involved in the war between Iran and Israel? Will we soon see the U.S. military get directly involved in attacking Iran? Those are very important questions that all of us should be considering right now. As I discussed on Friday , we really have reached one of the most critical points in our period of human history. If additional countries are drawn into the conflict, we really could be facing a World War III scenario. And if someone actually decides to use a weapon of mass destruction, things will get really crazy.
