Flu Outbreak Surges in Late 2025

New York Breaks Record For Number of Flu Cases in a Week

29 Dec. 2025: Health officials are reporting a significant surge in flu activity across the United States and globally. This season is being characterized by a sharp, late-year spike, with some areas—like New York State—reporting their highest weekly case numbers ever recorded since data tracking began in 2004. The CDC reports that influenza infections are growing in 47 states. Outpatient visits for respiratory illness and hospitalizations have jumped markedly as people gather for the holidays.

New York in particular, has been hit the hardest. Health officials confirmed over 71,000 cases in a single week in late December, representing a 38% increase over the previous week. 90% of these cases are Influenza A (H3N2), specifically a new version called Subclade K.

While the volume of cases is record-breaking, the clinical severity (how sick an individual person gets) is currently similar to past severe H3N2 years. The danger right now is the burden on the healthcare system; with so many people getting sick at once, hospitals in high-activity areas like New York and California are reaching capacity.

Fear is Spreading Just as Fast

A popular new trend in America is called ‘Anti-Vax’. For some unexplainable reason, a growing segment of the population are becoming cautious of vaccines. Public health data indicates that flu vaccine uptake has dropped for the fourth consecutive year. In the 2024-25 season, roughly 90% of the children who died from the flu were unvaccinated.

But there is no doubt the Bible has warned us of the levels of fear in the last days. Paul warns Timothy in his second letter that, ​”But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty.” (2 Timothy 3:1 ESV). While the Bible does warn of disease in the last days, It also takes the time to warn us of the fear that will happen during the last days as well. In the book of Luke, Jesus himself tells us:

people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Luke 21:26

“Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, 11 and there will be great earthquakes, and in various places plagues and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven. – Luke 21:10-11 NASB

So while the world looks in fear and trembling, Christians can rest in knowing that as more Bible prophecies come to pass, God’s word is also coming to pass. As the scripture says,

2 Then the LORD said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over My word to perform it.” – Jeremiah 1:12 NASB

But read this same verse in the New Living Translation:

12 And the LORD said, “That’s right, and it means that I am watching, and I will certainly carry out all my plans.” – Jeremiah 1:12 NLT

Just as these things happening on this earth fulfill the things God has predicted, so also God’s promises are being watched over by God Himself and he will perform these promises as well:

40 “Two men will be working together in the field; one will be taken, the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding flour at the mill; one will be taken, the other left. – Matthew 24:40-41 NLT

15 For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words. – 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18 ESV

God has promised us relief! He has promised us victory! And these days we live in right here and now are winding down to the time where Jesus will return and those who believe and are found ready will be taken home to be forever with the Lord! And if you begin to feel faint, just remember:

28 Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” – Luke 21:28 ESV

Iran Declares War! America, Europe and Israel are Their Targets

leaders of Iran preparing for war

Iran’s Nuclear Program Kicks Into High Gear

27 Dec. 2025: The “12-day war” back in June of this year has taught Iran nothing. In a weekend interview that has sent shockwaves through every major capital, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian declared that the Islamic Republic is now in a “full-scale war” with the United States, Israel, and Europe.

While Iran has used colorful rhetoric in the past, this shift from a resistance point of view to an aggressive “All-out confrontation” marks a new phase of Iran’s intentions. Not merely to defend itself, but a very real threat of war.

“They do not want our country to stand on its own feet,” President Masoud Pezeshkian stated, signaling that Tehran no longer views diplomacy as a viable path forward under current Western conditions. But now the question becomes, how much damage did America and Israel actually do during June? Was Iran’s nuclear capacity damaged as much as we’ve been led to believe?

“For the past six months, the IAEA has had no access to the most sensitive sites… and has no means of verifying the status of 450 kg of 60% high enriched uranium.”Jay Dharmadhikari, Deputy Permanent Representative of France to the UN.

Intelligence reports suggest Iran is doing more than just enriching uranium:

  1. Reconstituting Facilities: Efforts are underway to rebuild the Parchin and Shahroud missile production sites, which were damaged during the June air strikes.
  2. Technological Reinforcement: Despite US seizures of components in the Indian Ocean, Iran continues to receive critical materials for its solid-fuel ballistic missile program, aimed at striking targets across the Mediterranean and beyond.
  3. The “Nuclear Year”: Tehran has officially designated 2025 as the “Nuclear Year,” indicating that the threshold for weaponization may be a matter of months, not years.

Does Trump’s Peace Plan Stand in the Way?

The way things look, President Trump might be looking for a way to calm Iran rather than ensure peace through military might. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Trump plan to meet on Monday, Dec. 29 to discuss ‘options’ for further strikes against Iranian infrastructure. However it is already known that they disagree on the next steps. And Netanyahu has remained immovable on his stance to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear power at all costs.

France, Germany, and the UK have triggered the “snapback” mechanism, reinstating full international sanctions, though Tehran has dismissed these as having “no legal effect.” The IDF remains on high alert, warning that recent Iranian missile drills may be a “cover for a surprise operation.” With the return of “Maximum Pressure” policies, Washington is increasingly intercepting Iranian tankers and shipments, a move Tehran has branded as “maritime piracy.”

Psalm 83 Looms on the Horizon

2 For behold, your enemies make an uproar;
those who hate you have raised their heads.
3 They lay crafty plans against your people;
they consult together against your treasured ones.
4 They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation;
let the name of Israel be remembered no more!”

5 For they conspire with one accord;
against you they make a covenant—
6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
Moab and the Hagrites,
7 Gebal and Ammon and Amalek,
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 Asshur also has joined them;

they are the strong arm of the children of Lot. – Psalms 83:2-8 ESV

This verse, once a person does a little research, reads like the cast of characters from today’s news headlines.

  • Philistia on the modern map is the Gaza Strip, which is controlled by Hamas
  • Tyre on the map is Southern Lebanon, currently controlled by Hezbollah
  • Edom is Southern Jordan/Palestinian West Bank, controlled by Palestinian Authority / Radical Factions
  • Moab & Ammon is Central and Northern Jordan, controlled by Regional Instability / Protesters. To this day, there is a city in Jordan named Ammon
  • Assyria is Syria and Northern Iraq, controlled by Iranian-backed militias / IRGC
  • The Ishmaelites is Saudi Arabia / Arab Peninsula long time Historical rivals (now shifting alliances)

So the question is, this current ramping up of tensions in Iran; is this just another extension of the Psalm 83 war, which began on October 7, 2023, or is this looking toward another, bigger conflict?

1 The word of the LORD came to me: 2 “Son of man, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him 3 and say, Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. 4 And I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armor, a great host, all of them with buckler and shield, wielding swords. 5 Persia, Cush, and Put are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; 6 Gomer and all his hordes; Beth-togarmah from the uttermost parts of the north with all his hordes—many peoples are with you.
7 “Be ready and keep ready, you and all your hosts that are assembled about you, and be a guard for them. 8 After many days you will be mustered. In the latter years you will go against the land that is restored from war, the land whose people were gathered from many peoples upon the mountains of Israel, which had been a continual waste. Its people were brought out from the peoples and now dwell securely, all of them. 9 You will advance, coming on like a storm. You will be like a cloud covering the land, you and all your hordes, and many peoples with you. – Ezekiel 38:1-9 ESV

This is very exciting! You and I have a front row seat to watch Bible prophecy come to pass. And every day, the return of Jesus is a little closer than the day before. It is time for you to finally submit yourself to the one true, living God?

Receiving your forgiveness can be done right now, from where you are, reading this message. The Bible makes it clear.

9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. – Romans 10:9-10 ESV

Iran declares full scale war on America and Europe as chilling vow of ‘decisive response’ issued

Taiwan Rocked by “Monstrous” Earthquake

The Earthquake was Felt in Hong Kong and Parts of China

27 Dec. 2025: On Saturday this date, Taiwan was struck by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake according to Taiwan’s CWA, a 6.6 according to USGS. The epicenter was off the coast of Yilan County in northeastern Taiwan. The quake occurred roughly 20 miles off shore. The earthquake was relatively deep, 46 miles, the significant depth of the quake likely helped reduce surface damage, though it caused the shaking to be felt over a much wider area, including Hong Kong and parts of China.

The World Mirrors the Relevance of God’s Word

AS we draw down to the last remaining days of this world, Bible prophecy continues to come true in every way. In my lifetime, I’ve seen huge earthquakes like this happening once every few years to the time we live in now, where large earthquakes like this happen every few days. In two places, the Bible specifically points out earthquakes as a sign the end is near.

7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. – Matthew 24:7 ESV

11 There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven – Luke 21:11 ESV

The times are upon us now. Earthquakes are rocking the world in various places.

Taiwan Rocked by Powerful 7.0 Earthquake

Target Europe: Russia Considers Nuclear Missile Deployment in Belarus

a Bible opened to Matthew 24, while a map of Europe in the background shows the relevancy to the world.

Russia’s Efforts To Counter NATO Is Ramping Up

27 Dec. 2025: Russia is reportedly stationing new nuclear-capable Oreshnik hypersonic ballistic missiles at a former airbase in eastern Belarus. This assessment aligns with Us Intelligence findings.

The deployment could significantly enhance Moscow’s ability to strike targets across Europe. The Oreshnik missile system is believed to have a range of up to 3,400 miles (5,500 km). Experts suggest this move highlights the Kremlin’s reliance on nuclear deterrence to discourage NATO members from supplying Ukraine with long-range weapons capable of striking deep into Russian territory.

Belarus Defense Minister Viktor Khrenin stated the deployment is a response to the West’s “aggressive actions” and claims it will not alter the balance of power in Europe. Russian President Vladimir Putin had previously stated his intention to deploy these intermediate-range missiles in Belarus, but the specific location had not been identified until now.

The Bible Is Coming Literally True

We are seeing an escalation in hostility all over the world. Nations talk about peace while at the same time, preparing for war. The Bible tells us that in the last days, this would be the case.

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. – Matthew 24:6-7 KJV

Here we see the literal word of God coming to pass. For centuries, war has raged all around the world. This was pointing to the coming return of Jesus, but it didn’t mean immediately. But in the last day, right before the end, we will see nation arise against nation, kingdom against kingdom.

But the word ‘nation’ gives us a amazing glimpse into the world we live in today. That word ‘nation’ is Ethnos in the original Greek. The word ethnos suggests that in the last days, the world will see an increase in conflict based on identity. This is literally to the exact word, what we see going on in the world today. We have kingdoms, what we call nations, arming themselves for war, and then we have the turmoil going on all around the world. In Britain, immigrants square off against citizens. Here in America, radical left citizens wreak havoc on the streets in an effort to hamper the legal rounding up of people who are here illegally.

Just as the Bible predicts, the nations line up for war, while the world lines up along identity lines. How much more plainly could the Bible be?

Europe in crosshairs as Russia may deploy nuclear hypersonic missiles in Belarus: Report


Martyr In Rhode Island: Is This A Brown University Cover Up?

Fair Use Notice: This image is a low-resolution excerpt used solely for the purpose of non-commercial commentary and reporting on the public statements regarding the tragic event at Brown University. Its use is transformative and does not substitute for the original work. Source: Truth Social.

Allegations of Brown University Website Being Scrubbed of Information

The shooting at Brown University occurred on Saturday, December 13, 2025, inside the Barus and Holley building. As of late Wednesday, December 17, the investigation remains active, and the shooter has not been caught.

Among the two people tragically shot were Ella Cook, a 19-year-old sophomore from Mountain Brook, Alabama.

Bio and Background

  • Academic Interests: Cook was studying French and Francophone studies, as well as Mathematics and Economics. She was known for her intellectual curiosity and had chosen Brown for its Open Curriculum.
  • Personal Interests: She was an accomplished competitive pianist and had performed at high school concerts and annual tree-lighting events in her hometown.
  • Values: Friends described her as a “bright light” with a courageous and loyal spirit who preferred open conversation over shut-down arguments, even when discussing differing political opinions.

Church and Faith

Cook’s faith was a central part of her life, and she was a regular at the Sunday Mass held by the Brown-Rhode Island School of Design Catholic Community. Her involvement included:

  • Cathedral Church of the Advent: Back home in Birmingham, she was a longtime parishioner at the Cathedral Church of the Advent, where she served as a volunteer leader.
  • Faith Activities: She led Bible studies, taught Sunday school, and prioritized sharing the Gospel. Church leaders described her as “incredibly grounded” and a “tremendous bright light” who brought peace to those around her.

Allegations of Brown University Website Being Scrubbed of Information

However, posts on X (formerly Twitter) have given us some startling information. Even on YouTube, armchair detectives have made a lot of progress. They have alleged that a student named Mustapha Kharbouch (often spelled “Karbouch” in social media posts), whose digital presence on university-affiliated websites disappeared as the manhunt entered its fourth day.

The “Scrubbing” Allegation: The sudden removal of these pages led to intense online speculation that he was a person of interest. Some users also claimed his personal social media accounts were deactivated around the same time.(often spelled “Karbouch” in social media posts), whose digital presence on university-affiliated websites disappeared as the manhunt entered its fourth day.

Missing Profiles: On Tuesday, December 16, social media users noticed that several pages on Brown.edu related to Kharbouch began returning “404 Page Not Found” errors. These included his student assistant profile at the Center for Middle East Studies and a “Student Spotlight” interview from March 2025.

Who is he? Kharbouch is a third-year student at Brown (Class of ’27) majoring in International and Public Affairs and Cultural Anthropology. He is a Palestinian refugee raised in Lebanon and has been active in campus advocacy and research.

Even more disturbing, Mustapha Kharbouch is alleged to have connections to the Turtle Island Liberation Front (TILF). The group has been the subject of significant news coverage as of December 15–17, 2025, due to a federal investigation into a planned attack in Southern California.

Details of the “Turtle Island” Organization

The L.A. Plot: The suspects are accused of planning to detonate improvised explosive devices (IEDs) at five or more locations in Los Angeles and Orange County on New Year’s Eve. They reportedly chose this date to hide the sound of the explosions behind holiday fireworks.

Full Name: Turtle Island Liberation Front (TILF).

Ideology: Federal prosecutors and the FBI describe the group as a “far-left, anti-government, and anti-capitalist” organization. It advocates for the “liberation of occupied Turtle Island”—a name for North America used by some Indigenous rights activists—and identifies as pro-Palestinian.

Recent Indictments: On Monday, December 15, federal authorities announced the arrests of four alleged members (Audrey Carroll, Zachary Page, Dante Gaffield, and Tina Lai) for a plot named “Operation Midnight Sun”.

While social media speculation has been intense, there is currently no official evidence or law enforcement reports linking either the victims or specific students to the TILF network or a planned New Year’s Eve event in Los Angeles.

Allahu Akbar And Other Contested Anomalies

Many witnesses of the shooting on Saturday, claimed the shooter shouted “Allahu Akbar”, a shout many Muslim terrorists shout during the commission of a terror attack. However law enforcement claims many witnesses heard nothing. Brown University is without a doubt one of the most liberal colleges in the nation. Allegations are that this is a WOKE investigation and Brown University is doing its best to make sure no connection is made to the prolific Pro-Palestine movement within the university. Rumors have even said that Kharbouch has produced a manifesto on the university web site that has now been removed.

The Bible and The Obvious

I’d like to make this clear: This opinion is my own. I am not making allegations, I’m just saying this is how everything looks to me, a member of the public watching everything unfold on the news. Rhode Island police are following the orders of the University. Those orders are hindering the investigation in a major way. Here a person who obviously is a person of intense interest, hasn’t even been mentioned as a person of interest by the police. This man could have left the country by now and be on his way back to Palestine.

Muslim terrorism has sharply risen just in the last few months. While defenders call out “Islamophobia”, obviously a large number of terrorist attacks are carried out by Muslims. It’s not Islamophobia if they’re really trying to kill you.

Islamic State (IS) and its affiliates remained the deadliest terrorist organization in 2024, responsible for 1,805 deaths across 22 countries. *Visions of Humanity website

These attacks are not the result of “Radical Islam”; these attacks are being carried out by REAL Muslims.

The phrase “Radical Islam” is redundant; it’s like saying ‘wet water’. Islam is not a religion of peace; it is a religion of war, terror and death. It is fundamentally incompatible with any nation whose goals are a Republic where the individual citizen rights are more important than the demands of the government, and the right of the citizen to elect its own leaders. In America, there is a large group of people who call themselves Muslim. But you have to wonder what do you call a group that refuses to acknowledge its own teachings, or refuses to obey them.

God said that in these last days would be a time of terror like the world has never known. Those days are here! No longer do we have to sit and imagine what the last days will be like; we can see them take place in the news. People are scared, they are frightened at the things happening in the world today exactly like the Bible predicts.

25 “There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, 26 men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. – Luke 21:25-26 NASB

WOULD YOU LIKE A BOTTOM LINE? Here it is. Jesus spoke these words nearly 2,000 years ago, and everything mentioned is literally taking place right before your eyes. But the question is, are you too blind to see it? We have stunning signs in the heavens like never before, multiple comets that defy scientists expectations. The sun showing startling signs, and emitting one solar storm after another. And how many times have we seen “Once in a lifetime” used to describe an event in the sky? Global warming raising fears of angry seas, seas that threaten to take back the coast land all over the world.

“Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. – Matthew 24:9 NASB

Christianity is universally despised by every liberal on every nation: Canada has just passed a law that would criminalize portions of the Bible. We have seen martyrs in several countries including Nigeria. Right here in the United States Christians are attacked and killed. The Bible has come literally true..

Horrible Tales of Torture: How a Stepmom treated Her Daughter

Little Girl Forced to Eat Cat Poop!

Just when I think I have heard it all, something like this story comes along. Tenika Draper, of Wellford, South Carolina, the step mother of an 8-year-old stepdaughter was sentenced to 35 years in state prison, after pleading guilty to 20 counts of unlawful neglect of a child and two counts of obstruction of justice. According to a Forensic Physician, this young girl was diagnosed as being the victim of Child Torture.

The horrific allegations she plead guilty to inflicting on the child included forcing her to eat cat poop and cat treats; beating her with various objects like game boards, wooden boards, cutting boards and frying pans. Putting her in hypothermia (ice) baths; making her stand in a trash can, while garbage was thrown on top of her. Forcing her to eat laxatives and kneel on a cement crate, which cause severe scarring on her knees.

Draper is the first of four co-defendants to be sentenced. The others still facing charges are:

  • Ian Tatro: This is the girl’s biological father, who is also accused of abuse, including telling the girl he wished her mother would have aborted her, and wishing he could kill her.
  • Trina Ray Draper: the step-grandmother.
  • Ryan Desatelli: the step-uncle.

The abuse was discovered in September 2022, following an anonymous report to the Department of Social Services (DSS). Deputies noted the girl had a noticeable limp and bruises covered by temporary tattoos. When the police took her into protective custody, the little girl said, “This is the best day of my life.”

This Behavior is Predicted in the Bible

This is an absolutely inexcusable way for adults to behave. While some of us might be astounded that someone could be so cruel to a helpless child, these kind of event happen on a regular basis right here in America. I am a firm believer in cause and effect. In fact, this case confirms it. We have spent 40 years letting abortion teach people that the lives of children have no value, then we stand by and gasp when people act like the lives of children have no value. We have taught our kids that we are nothing more than highly evolved animals, then we’re shocked when they behave like animals.

1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, – 2 Timothy 3:1-3 KJV

This passage tells us that people will be without natural affection. For years, Bible scholars have interpreted this as homosexuality. But what could be more natural than the love of a father for a child, or the love of a mother for a child? What could be more natural than the natural inclination to protect a member of a family? But we see here, a mother, father, grandmother, and even an uncle who allegedly all took part in abusing this child. But the truth of the matter is even darker than this:

28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. – Romans 1:28-32 NIV

When people turn their backs on even the very knowledge of God, he has no choice but to respect their free choice. But when he does, they are opening themselves up for Satan to destroy their minds. Then these people become just like their father, Satan himself.

Not to mention the reference to the Days of Noah as Jesus described would mirror the times in which we live. Just as in Noah’s day, there is no limit to the depths of depravity that modern man can sink. And just as it was in Noah’s day, it is the same today. People killing and abusing their own children, while others go about as if it’s just another ordinary day.

37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. – Matthew 24:37-39 NIV

The days of the end are not near, my friends, they are here. All the signs of Jesus’ return, and I do mean all, are happening in these last day. Every single one. Every day you delay making a decision about God, you are playing with borrowed time.

9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. Romans 10:9-10

Canadian Law Would Outlaw Portions of the Bible

Canada’s New Law Could Land Christians in Jail for Up to 2 Years

a bible chained up and locked with a padlock

13 Dec. 2025: The Liberal government, with the support of the Bloc Québécois, is considering an amendment to the Criminal Code to remove the existing “religious freedom” exemption from the charge of “willful promotion of hatred.” The existing law currently protects statements made “in good faith” and “based on a belief in a religious text” from being classified as hate speech under the willful promotion of hatred offense.

Critics, including various religious and civil liberties groups, claim that scrapping this exemption could potentially “criminalize biblical passages” or other sacred texts. They fear it will create a “chilling effect” on religious expression and subject faith leaders to legal uncertainty for expressing traditional moral or doctrinal teachings.

Justice Minister Sean Fraser and other Liberals have stated that the amendment will not criminalize religious texts or faith, arguing that freedom of religion is still protected under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. They also suggest the exemption is redundant. The push to remove the exemption gained momentum after a radical Montreal imam, Adil Charkaoui, was not prosecuted in 2023 for remarks calling for “Zionist aggressors” to be killed, as the prosecutor concluded his remarks were a prayer and therefore protected by the existing religious exemption.

The Last Days Are Upon Us

As the world increasingly becomes more hostile towards Christianity, we see governments using the most flimsy of excuses in order to shut down the word of God and the Christian community. The Qur’an is full of inflammatory, outrageous calls for violence, yet the Bible is targeted time and time again.

But this is not a time for sadness or anger! The good news is that as Christians, we should rejoice for being counted worthy of persecution for the Word of God’s sake. Furthermore, the Bible tells us that when things like this begin to happen, the return of Jesus is near.

9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. – Matthew 24:9-10 ESV

“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you: A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you.” – John 15:18-20 ESV

25 “There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. 26 People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. 27 At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” – Luke 21:25-28 NIV

Conservate Media Outlets Under Attack

Popular Right Wing Podcasters and Alternative Media are Becoming the Target of Violence

Tousi TV

In 2013, a young Iranian man living in Britain started a media company called Tousi TV. Mahyar Tousi, who is both the founder and the host of the channel. Over time, Tousi TV has grown from a YouTube channel into a broader online news brand, adding live shows and other platforms. By 2024 it was being described as one of the most-watched online global news channels, reflecting significant audience growth since its 2013 start. Tousi has publicly claimed that both he and his Tousi TV team have faced threats, an attempted kidnapping, and other violent incidents linked to his work, though many details come from his own accounts rather than official case files.

Tousi has claimed that he and Tousi TV have been targeted by increasingly serious forms of intimidation, including what he describes as an attempted kidnapping. In various interviews and videos, he says that hostile actors have monitored him, tried to reach his home, and discussed plans to capture or abduct him because of his political commentary and criticism of Islamist regimes and extremist groups. He also alleges that members of his team have been physically attacked while reporting at demonstrations, presenting this pattern as part of a broader campaign of harassment and violence directed at Tousi TV.*

*While Mahyar Tousi has publicly alleged that he, his family, and members of Tousi TV have been targeted by Islamists and other hostile actors, including what he describes as an attempted kidnapping and coordinated efforts to shut down the channel, these accounts are primarily based on his own testimony and content produced on or around Tousi TV. Independent open-source reporting that fully corroborates all of the specific details he describes is limited, so readers should treat these claims as serious allegations made by Tousi and his supporters rather than established facts adjudicated in court or comprehensively documented by neutral investigative bodies.

But legal requirements aside, I have personally watched a live episode where a Tousi TV reporter was forced away from an ongoing protest scene, while liberal media reporter were allowed to remain on site.

Episode listings for Timcast IRL show season 1, episode 1 (“I’m Almost Ready For Van Life! On The Ground Reporting!!!”) airing on August 27, 2019, which is the earliest dated episode for the series. Podcast directories and metadata treat 2019 as the start year for Timcast IRL, confirming that as the launch of his current flagship podcast format.

Tim Pool has produced “Timcast” content since the early 2010s, but these were primarily YouTube commentary videos and news segments rather than the current IRL panel‑style podcast. His role as CEO of Timcast Media from January 2019 aligns with the buildup to launching Timcast IRL later that year.

Pool has built a highly successful, large-scale independent media operation around Timcast and Timcast IRL, with millions of followers and over a billion views across platforms. Coverage of his live events describes audiences in the hundreds of thousands per stream and syndication reach in the tens or even hundreds of millions across platforms, reinforcing that his influence extends well beyond a niche podcast.

Target of Violence

Tim Pool reports a pattern of escalating harassment, from multiple “swattings” to a recent shooting at his rural West Virginia property, along with ongoing threats tied to his work as a political commentator.

Reports in early December 2025 describe Pool saying that a vehicle approached his Harpers Ferry–area property at night and opened fire at one of the buildings, with no injuries but visible damage. He stated that his private security team reviewed surveillance footage and that the incident was being turned over to local law enforcement for investigation.

Pool’s studio, known as the “Cast Castle,” was first widely reported as being “swatted” during a live Timcast IRL broadcast in January 2022, when police entered the studio on air after a false report of a shooting and potential suicide at his address. Pool later said publicly that his studio had been swatted multiple times afterward—on the order of eight or more incidents in 2022 alone—with at least one night involving two separate swatting calls.

Coverage of Pool and commentary around the December 2025 shooting frame it as part of a wider pattern of threats, including doxxing, online death threats, and “credible threats” that have led him at times to cancel or interrupt shows for safety reasons. Commentators sympathetic to Pool describe the drive‑by shooting and repeated swattings as examples of politically motivated intimidation against high‑profile right‑of‑center media figures.

Benny Johnson, “The Benny Show”

Benny Johnson’s main show, The Benny Show, launched as a podcast in early September 2021 and has since become a high‑performing conservative news and commentary program with a large online audience. The Benny Show is listed as a podcast series. Podcast platforms describe it as his flagship independent news and commentary show, released on weekdays and distributed on major apps such as Apple Podcasts and YouTube.

Corporate and industry write‑ups describe The Benny Show as a “top‑ranking” vodcast and podcast, with Cumulus Media bringing it into the Cumulus Podcast Network in 2024, which signals strong download numbers and advertiser interest. Benny Johnson’s broader brand is substantial: his main YouTube channel has about 6 million subscribers and over 4.3 billion total views, and his bio notes a combined social following in the tens of millions and billions of video views, indicating a highly successful right‑of‑center media operation.

Target of Violence

Benny Johnson has recently described receiving multiple death threats, including a mailed threat in October 2025 that federal authorities treated as serious enough to bring criminal charges, and he has linked these threats to escalating political violence after the assassination of his friend Charlie Kirk.

In early October 2025, U.S. officials announced the arrest of a California man accused of mailing a letter to Johnson’s Florida home that explicitly threatened to kill him, with graphic language about strangling him with an American flag and “blowing his head off.” At a Justice Department press conference, Johnson stood alongside Attorney General Pam Bondi and publicly described how the letter detailed orphaning his four children and leaving his wife a widow, saying the threat shook his family in the weeks after Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

Echoes and Origins

Well, that’s me. Echoes and Origins originally began as a blog called “Times of the signs”. I began it in April of 2025, after a fascination of Bible prophecy since I was a teenager began to drive me to tell others how the things I was seeing in the news was lining up with Bible prophecy as never before. One of my most successful articles by far was an article I wrote following the day Charlie Kirk was assassinated, and the earthquake that happened within hours of his death. To this day, that article by far was the most successful. I have no big budget, nor do I have millions of followers or even hundreds of readers. I would say on an average day I probably get 20 readers who access 30 articles. Yet I have had two threats myself. The first was from someone who was very unhappy over a comment I made in response to a rude comment that was made. It’s a long story, and I have no intention of rehashing that. I have removed all of the content from the comments.

The second one was a white-supremacist who didn’t like my article on the Lost 10 Tribes of Israel theory. This one I will have to admit gave me pause. But after an extended time in prayer over it, I found the courage to continue on.

Your Enemies Testify About You!

I have long held to the belief the best way to see what kind of person someone is, look at who their enemies are. Who hates you? Who opposes you? How hard are they working to try to stop you? That will tell me the type of person you are.

If the left is coming after people like they are Tousi TV, Timcast IRL, and Benny Johnson there is no doubt the left are scared of these three. And they have right to be. Tousi TV has become known for being the first out there with the latest stories and getting media recognition despite being a grassroots organization. Many times Tousi TV has been reporting on stores that the legacy media hasn’t even announced yet.

Timcast IRL has a reputation of commentary that cuts to the bone of the issues, boiling down the rhetoric to the core of the issue, to the point where the left is exposed and their point of views rebuffed. Tim Pool also tends to dive in subjects that other media outlets shy away from.

Benny Johnson is known for his amazing rise to fame. From 2021 to today he is known for the ability to attract an audience from a wide range of demographics and make a connection with every one. No wonder the left fears him.

But instead of opposing them peacefully, these people turn to intimidation and violence. They are just as the Bible describes them, people without and self control or conscience. Full of sin and hatred, to the point where their love of anything decent or law abiding has be permanently frozen.

What the Bible Tells Us of This Last Generation

20 Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,
and shrewd in their own sight!
22 Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine,
and valiant men in mixing strong drink,
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe,
and deprive the innocent of his right! – Isaiah 5:20-24 ESV

1 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, – 2 Timothy 3:1-4 ESV

And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. 20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. 21 But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.” – John 3:19-21

I see bias, hatred, and mockery almost every day with this blog. It’s to the point where I don’t even think about it any more. One of the passages in the Bible that has really struck a chord with me is this:

18 “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you: A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. – John 15:18-20 ESV

The world hates being exposed by the truth. The world hates those who stand up for what is right and moral and good. The world despises it when someone is able to rip open this veneer of everything the world is promising you and people like you. When someone is able to poke holes in their argument and exposes the truly evil intent of what they are planning, they get furious. And there is no moral character among these. They have already be shown to be capable of stealing, diverting government funds and even pose as charities in order to fleece the government! My friends, ask yourself one thing. If these are the things we know about, imagine what we don’t know about.

I personally find it nothing short of hypocritical that the democrat party won’t even rise up to condemn these acts of violence! They say they oppose violence, but they refuse to call out instances of violence.

“If you acquiesce, you might as well approve.” – Tim 😊

MEGAQUAKE Warning Issued After Today’s 7.6 Quake In Japan

The Next Phase of Bible Prophecy is Beginning!

Echoes and origins, viewing the world in light of Bible prophecy

8 Dec. 2025: The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) has issued a Hokkaido-Sanriku Subsequent Earthquake Advisory. The JMA states that the probability of a large “giant earthquake” (megaquake) has become “relatively higher than normal” along the Japan Trench and Chishima (Kuril) Trench. This region has a history of producing Mw 8-class or larger events with massive tsunamis. Officials emphasize that the likelihood of a megaquake remains low, but the advisory is intended to increase public caution and preparedness across northern coastal regions.

The quake that prompted the “Megaquake Warning” from the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) had a preliminary magnitude of 7.6 (some sources report 7.5) and struck on Monday night, December 8, 2025. The earthquake was a subduction zone earthquake (occurring where the Pacific plate sinks beneath the plate holding Japan) and happened north of the rupture area of the 2011 M9.0 Tohoku quake.

The Bible’s Predictions are Startling

What makes this so amazing is the fact that so many other signs of the Lord’s return are starting to come true. Now, what we are seeing is the Next Phase of the Bible is nothing short of startling to Christians, but terrifying to those who don’t know the Lord. What we are seeing now, is a lining up of events to prepare for the book of Revelation to begin! No longer are we simply seeing Bible prophecy to come to pass, but we are seeing events lining themselves up! This is a sure sign the end is near!

For example, the sixth seal of the book of Revelation tells us about a worldwide earthquake, along with a major string of volcanic eruptions. This is the continuation of a trend that began a few months ago. As time gets closer and closer to the end, we are sure to see more of these events.

12 I watched as the Lamb broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became as dark as black cloth, and the moon became as red as blood. 13 Then the stars of the sky fell to the earth like green figs falling from a tree shaken by a strong wind. 14 The sky was rolled up like a scroll, and all of the mountains and islands were moved from their places. – Revelation 6:12-14 NLT

New York Subway Arson Case: Another Train Attack

New York Subway Arson Case: Another Train Attack

generic image of a crime scene at night.

An 18-year-old New York high school senior is facing federal arson charges after a sleeping passenger was set on fire aboard a Manhattan subway train early Monday. Prosecutors say Hiram Carrero allegedly lit a piece of paper and dropped it near a 56-year-old homeless man riding a northbound 3 train near 34th Street–Penn Station, leaving the victim badly burned as he later stumbled onto the Times Square platform with his legs and torso in flames.

Police extinguished the fire and rushed the man to the hospital, where he remains in critical condition. Carrero, who reportedly lives in Harlem and cares for his disabled mother, was arrested Thursday after briefly reboarding the train and then fleeing by bus, according to a federal complaint. A U.S. district judge has ordered him held in custody, citing the severity of the alleged attack, which officials note is part of a troubling pattern of recent assaults on public transit riders and workers in major U.S. cities.

What the Bible has to Say About Events Like This

Make no mistake about it, this is a form of terrorism. There has been a flurry of these attacks lately, and while one attack can be attributed to all sorts of motives, ‘copy cat’ attacks like this is the result of a depraved person’s desire to inflict pain and suffering on an individual, and instill fear on those who witness and hear of the event later. And this is told in the Bible as signs of the end times.

1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, – 2 Timothy 3:1-4 NKJV

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. – Romans 1:28-32 NKJV

Obviously, regardless of the feeble excuse this man might give for his behavior, the glaring truth is “without self-control”. While the most wicked thoughts may come into a person’s mind, humans are given freedom of will, and freedom of choice. There is no reason to carry out a thought that comes into a person’s mind unless the mind itself has been given over to evil. And in Romans 1:28, we see the reason. When people no longer even remember God or fear him, they are given over to a debased mind. After that happens, they are capable of all kinds of evil. And this is how the world will be in the last days.

Despite the Truth, the Media Still Targets Israel

Antisemitism in the Media

Israeli flag in bullseye

2 Dec. 2025: On October 7, 2025, a terrorist organization called Hamas launched an unprovoked attack on the nation of Israel. Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu called it “the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust”. Since that time, Israel has exercised its right to go after those responsible and take measures to make sure this never happens again. When Hamas in its cowardly nature, decides to take refuge among civilian neighborhoods, hospitals, and schools, then those casualties are officially unintended casualties of war. But when the world has fulfilled Bible prophecy by gathering together against Israel, what America once did in World War II is now called genocide.

2 Don’t you hear the uproar of your enemies?
Don’t you see that your arrogant enemies are rising up?
3 They devise crafty schemes against your people;
they conspire against your precious ones.
4 “Come,” they say, “let us wipe out Israel as a nation.
We will destroy the very memory of its existence.”
5 Yes, this was their unanimous decision.
They signed a treaty as allies against you — Psalms 83:2-5 NLT

A Breakdown of the October 7, 2023 Attack

The October 7, 2023 Hamas-led assault on southern Israel killed roughly 1,200 people, injured several thousand, and resulted in about 240–250 people being taken hostage to Gaza. Precise, universally agreed numbers for how many women were raped and the full extent of sexual violence are not available, but UN investigators and rights groups say there is credible evidence of multiple cases of rape, gang rape, and other severe sexual abuses during the attacks and against hostages.​

Overall casualties

  • Fatalities in Israel: Later revised Israeli figures and major international trackers put the death toll from the October 7 attack at around 1,200 people killed, including both civilians and security forces.​
  • Injured: Estimates from Israeli and international sources indicate more than 3,300 people were physically injured in the attack and its immediate aftermath.​
  • Hostages: Hamas and other armed groups took roughly 240–250 people hostage from Israel into Gaza; some were later released in swaps, some confirmed dead, and others remain unaccounted for.​

Children, women, and other demographics

  • Children killed: One detailed breakdown of confirmed victims lists at least 38 children (under 18) among the dead from October 7, with the youngest about 10 months old. Other sources round this to “dozens” of children killed, but 38 is a commonly cited minimum figure based on named victims.
  • Women killed: Analysis of victim data indicates that about 26–27% of those killed on October 7 were female, meaning roughly 320–340 women and girls if the total killed is about 1,200.
  • Locations of mass killing: The largest single-site massacre was at the Nova music festival (near Re’im), where around 360 people were killed, with many more wounded and dozens taken hostage.​

Sexual violence and rape

  • On-the-day sexual violence: The UN Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict, the UN Commission of Inquiry, and Human Rights Watch all report “reasonable grounds to believe” that conflict-related sexual violence, including rape and gang rape, occurred in multiple locations during the October 7 attacks (for example around the Nova festival, Road 232, Kfar Aza, Re’im, Nir Oz, and at military sites).​
  • Reported numbers: The UN mission described at least several specific rapes (including gang rapes and rapes followed by killing) and rapes of corpses, and NBC’s reporting on that mission said the UN had grounds to believe at least five rapes occurred on October 7 itself, while also stressing that the true number is likely higher and not fully documented. There is no authoritative, comprehensive count of “how many women were raped,” but investigators and Israeli officials speak in terms of “dozens” of women subjected to rape, sexual mutilation, or other sexual abuse based on survivor, witness, and forensic evidence.​

Other acts of violence

  • Methods of killing: Medical and forensic analyses describe deaths from gunshot wounds (rifles and machine guns), explosives, burning and incineration of homes and shelters, mutilation, and beheadings; one clinical study notes that close to 1,200 people were killed by firearms, explosives, decapitation, mutilation, and burning.
  • Scale and distribution of attacks: Roughly 3,000 Hamas-led fighters and other militants are estimated to have breached the border and attacked at least 20 communities and several military bases, alongside the rocket barrages.​
  • Ongoing abuse of hostages: The same UN sexual-violence mission said it had “clear and convincing” information that some hostages in Gaza have been subjected to rape, sexualized torture, and other severe abuse while in captivity, and that such violence may be ongoing.

Because investigations are still evolving and some bodies were burned beyond recognition, all figures—especially on sexual violence—should be treated as the best available estimates rather than exact final numbers.

Now Let’s Ask a Question

Let’s say a group of people amassed on the Mexican border just across from El Paso, Texas. On one day, that group of terrorists crossed the border and committed that very same atrocity here in America. What do you think President Trump would do? What do you think would be an adequate response? Wipe out that entire group of terrorist, declare that area across from El Paso as a demilitarized zone, and continually monitor it for any further activity?

I’ve often thought Hamas doesn’t know how lucky they are they are not taking on America. There would be no such thing as Hamas or Gaza except for the tombstones of the dead. The surviving Palestinians would have been forcibly evacuated, and the land left completely empty.

But Israel is universally condemned because they are only doing what most any other nation on earth would do. But not to worry; the Bible has predicted the outcome of this confrontation years ago.

On that day I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock. All the nations will gather against it to try to move it, but they will only hurt themselves. – Zechariah 12:3 NLT

So far, three nations have set themselves in a position where they have tried to force Israel’s hand, and all three nations are suffering terrible consequences for their actions. Iran, who attacked Israel earlier this year, is now in a drought of Biblical proportions. It is said the drought is so bad, it can be seen from space.

Britain’s Prime Minister broke from a longstanding friendship with Israel to side with the Palestinians and demand a Palestinian State. But just as the Bible says, Netanyahu became the immovable stone, and Britain was hurt because of their decision. The people of Britain rejected the position of the government, and some very nasty rumors began circulating of Starmer throwing ‘tantrums’ over decisions made by the Monarchy. These combined together to put Starmer in a powerless position as even members of his own party rebelled against him.

France’s President Emmanuel Macron, serving his second and final term until 2027, but his authority has been badly weakened by a series of political crises since mid‑2024. The core problem is that his centrist camp lost its dominance in parliament after a risky snap election, leaving France with a deeply fragmented National Assembly and repeated government collapses.

Emmanuel Macron did not make a single, sudden decision to “back Palestine over Israel”; his stance shifted in stages from strongly emphasizing Israel’s right to self‑defense after October 7, 2023, toward a more pro‑Palestinian, two‑state–focused line through 2024–2025, culminating in a decision in mid‑2025 to recognize a Palestinian state and a formal recognition announcement in September 2025. So it seems his troubles started as he began to change his opinion on Isael.

The ‘Real’ Bottom Line

Nations, the media and the people are going to keep hating Israel, not because of some mythical genocide, but because of their hatred for God. When they lash out against Israel, they are actually lashing out against the Word of God, and the principles the Bible stands for. They are speaking the words of their father, the devil. And this isn’t going to stop, nor is it going to even slow down. The Bible tells us of two upcoming wars, the Psalm 83 war, in which a coalition of nations immediately surrounding Israel will attempt to ‘wipe them from the face of the earth’ will result in a devastating defeat for Israel’s enemies, then a larger coalition of European and Russian Armies predicted in Ezekiel 38. This war will not be fought by Israel, but instead will be fought by God himself.

For the last 2,000 years, every generation has had an excuse to hate the Jews. Genocide in Gaza is this generation’s excuse: Nothing more

For those who like bottom lines here it is: There will be no Palestinian state. God himself has decreed it. He will punish those people who try to divide his land. As long as this earth exists, there will be a nation called Israel. And to those who believe that any nation or a coalition of nations will ever annihilate the nation of Israel, good luck with that. Fun fact: the battle of Armageddon is nothing more than yet another attempt of the armies of the world to destroy Israel. Jesus physically returns to earth and fights the world singlehandedly to protect Israel.

And regardless of how many Muslim ‘journalists’ write inflammatory propaganda against Israel, nothing is going to change that fact.

Media Bias Offenders – The White House

Minnesota Fraud Scandal Reaches Over $1B

Scandal Took Money from Food for Children

an outline of the state of Minnesota with a Somali flag inside

7 Dec. 2025: Feeding Our Future is just one of the several scandals circulating Minnesota. According to reports, Federal prosecutors estimate that up to $1 billion was stolen in separate plots, primarily through child-nutrition programs meant to feed low-income children during the COVID-19 pandemic. A nonprofit called Feeding Our Future is at the center of the scandal. Investigators allege that the group and its affiliates submitted fake meal claims, siphoning hundreds of millions of dollars.

Governor Tim Walz is under intense scrutiny. Critics accuse him of failing to act on early warnings, while allies worry the scandal could derail his reelection prospects. Some Democrats argue he remains a strong leader, but others believe he’s now a liability. Republicans have compared the scandal to Watergate, accusing Walz of a cover-up. President Trump has seized on the scandal, calling Minnesota a “hub of fraudulent money laundering activity” and linking it to Somali immigrants. This has escalated fears within Minnesota’s Somali community, which feels unfairly targeted.

Recent investigations suggest that some of the money stolen in Minnesota’s massive welfare and nutrition fraud scandal may have been funneled to al-Shabaab, a Somalia-based terrorist group affiliated with al-Qaeda. Federal prosecutors and the U.S. Treasury Department are actively probing these allegations, though definitive proof has not yet been publicly confirmed. Dr. Mehmet Oz, head of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, warned that Minnesota could lose federal funding unless it restores program integrity, noting that “some of the funds may have even made their way to al-Shabaab”.

The Bible Predicts This Type of Activity

The Bible plainly tells us of a time when in the last days, there will be corrupt politicians and judges. Jesus told us that the last days would be like the days of Noah, and one of the main things that the Bible tells us about Noah’s time was corruption. First, let’s take a look at how corrupt politicians and judges are predicted in the last days:

20 Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,
and shrewd in their own sight!
22 Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine,
and valiant men in mixing strong drink,
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe,
and deprive the innocent of his right! – Isaiah 5:20-23 ESV

Jesus told us that in the last days the world would resemble the days of Noah:

37 “For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, 39 and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.” – Matthew 24:37-39 ESV

And now we can look closely in the book of Genesis and see what the days of Noah were like:

11 Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. 13 And God said to Noah, “I have determined to make an end of all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them with the earth. – Genesis 6:11-13 ESV

Heeding the Warning:

I cannot over emphasize the importance of these words. The end time is so near. It could happen literally any moment. There will be a rapture, or catching away of the church before a 7-year period of time called the Tribulation. This is NOT a time you want to go through. This is your time, your chance, your opportunity. Accept the gift of salvation God purchased with the life of his only son, Jesus. Redemption is easy and it’s open to everyone who wants it:

because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. – Romans 10:9-10 ESV

Alaska’s 7.0 Quake And A Shaken Borderland: Twenty Aftershocks In A Restless North

Yet Another Earthquake Rocks the Pacific Rim

6 Dec. 2025: A powerful magnitude 7.0 earthquake rocked a remote stretch of the Alaska–Yukon border region late Saturday morning, rattling communities hundreds of miles away and unleashing a flurry of aftershocks that underscored just how restless the North Pacific tectonic zone has become. The main shock struck at about 11:41 a.m. local time roughly 55–60 miles north of Yakutat, near the Hubbard Glacier area, at a shallow depth of around 6 miles – shallow enough to efficiently transmit shaking across Southeast Alaska and into western Canada.​

According to seismic monitoring agencies, the quake was felt from Juneau and Haines to communities across the panhandle and into Yukon, with residents reporting sharp, brief shaking that sent homes creaking and nerves on edge. Early reports indicated no significant damage or injuries, a small mercy given the magnitude and shallow depth, and there was no tsunami threat for the populated coastlines along the Gulf of Alaska.​

What turned this event from a single jolt into an ongoing story is what followed. In the hours after the mainshock, the region lit up with more than 20 recorded aftershocks, including several moderate quakes in the magnitude‑5 range that were strong enough to be noticed by anyone already on edge from the initial hit. Seismologists note that such aftershock sequences are typical for an event of this size, as the crust adjusts to the sudden release of stress along the fault system.​

This corner of Alaska sits on the seismically hyper‑active Pacific “Ring of Fire,” where the Pacific Plate grinds and dives beneath the North American Plate, building mountains, feeding glaciers, and powering volcanic systems that can stay quiet for decades before roaring back to life. In recent years, Alaska has seen both major offshore quakes and episodes of increased unrest at volcanoes like Great Sitkin and others monitored by the Alaska Volcano Observatory, a reminder that earthquakes and volcanism are two faces of the same deep geologic forces.​​​

What this 7.0 event does highlight, however, is how thin the line can feel between normal geologic “background noise” and a sudden reminder of the planet’s power. In an era when people are already watching the skies for solar flares and the seas for rising storms, seeing a major quake, an energetic aftershock sequence, and separate volcanic rumblings across the broader Ring of Fire can feed a growing sense that Earth’s systems are all turning up the volume at once.​

For residents of Alaska and the Yukon, the practical takeaways are familiar but urgent: secure heavy furniture, keep an emergency kit within reach, and know how to “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” when the shaking starts. For the rest of us watching from afar, this Hubbard Glacier quake is another data point – and perhaps another wake‑up call – from a planet whose deep rhythms rarely match our desire for calm, predictable normalcy.​

The Bible’s Instructions on What These Mean

We know that these things aren’t happening in a vacuum. These things happen because God’s word tells us it will happen in accordance with God’s word.

There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven. – Luke 21:11 ESV

Alaska Blasted With Over 20 Aftershocks After Getting Rocked With Magnitude 7.0 Earthquake

It Just Keeps Getting Worse: The Treasury is Now Investigating if Taxpayer Money Went to Terrorists

Minnesota’s Fraud Accusations are Growing

an outline of the state of Minnesota with a Somali flag inside

Problems seem to be mounting for the massive fraud scandal in Minnesota. Now, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has made the assertion that taxpayer money has been funneled to Al-Shabaab, which is based in Somalia.

Bessett spoke out on the Social Media platform X, and stated he had found money had gone to Al-Shabaab “under the feckless mismanagement of the Biden Administration and Governor Tim Walz”.

The investigation was prompted by a conservative publication’s report suggesting millions in welfare funds were diverted improperly, and Republican lawmakers have called for federal scrutiny.

One major case cited is the $250 million Feeding Our Future fraud, where individuals were convicted of misusing pandemic-era child nutrition funds. However, former U.S. Attorney Andy Lugar clarified that those involved were motivated by personal gain, not terrorism. However, it is important to note that Andy Lugar was first appointed by Former President Barack Obama in 2014 and later reappointed by Former President Joe Biden in 2022.

Corruption to the Core

20 Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,

who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
and clever in their own sight.

22 Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine
and champions at mixing drinks,
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe,
but deny justice to the innocent.

24 Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw
and as dry grass sinks down in the flames,
so their roots will decay
and their flowers blow away like dust;
for they have rejected the law of the LORD Almighty
and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel. – Isaiah 5:20-24 NIV

As politicians grow more greedy, wicked, and lawless it only serves to remind us of the days we’re living in. All throughout the Bible there are warnings like these to let us know not only in the days in which we live, but a comforting reminder that all lawless people will someday receive their just punishment for their evil deeds.

Kristi Noem Discovers Huge Fraud in Minnesota’s Visa Application Program

She Calls Governor Tim Walz an “Idiot”

two hands. One hand holds a visa, while another hand offers money in exchange for it.

2 Dec. 2025: Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem discovered a huge fraud while auditing Minnesota’s visa applications. In Tuesday’s Cabinet meeting with President trump she said:

“You told me to look into Minnesota and their fraud on visas and their programs: 50% of them are fraudulent, which means that that wacko Gov. (Tim) Walz either is an idiot or he did it on purpose — and I think he’s both, sir,” – Secretary Kristi Noem

She went on to accuse Walz of allowing people to come to the country illegally, allowing them to claim they were someone else, and in a shrouded reference to Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), she claimed, “they said they were married to somebody who was their brother or somebody else.” Rep. Omar has been plagued by re-occurring accusations that she married her brother in order to keep him from being deported.

But Why is this Relevant?

While we may get a chuckle out of modern politics, which is scheduled to look more like WWE Saturday Night than our government at work, there is a very real problem here. One of the things that plagued Noah’s generation was corruption. So much so that in the book of Genesis, the word corruption is said on three different occasions.

11 Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. 12 God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. 13 So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth. – Genesis 6:11-13 NIV

It is truly sad that corruption is so rampant in this country that it barely raises an eyebrow anymore. When government officials are assumed to be corrupt until proven otherwise has become the normal not only here on earth, but around the world as well. And this is yet another example of this present generation and more proof we are living in the last days.

But what does a description of Noah’s time have to do with modern society? Because Jesus gave us a parallel to describe the last days in relationship with the days of Noah.

37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. – Matthew 24:37-39 NIV

Kristi Noem says half of Minnesota visas are ‘fraudulent,’ accuses ‘idiot’ Walz of doing it on purpose

CAIR Once Again Falls Back to Their Tired Narrative, “Blame the Jews”

CAIR Blames Somali Fraud Case on Israel

The Council on American – Islamic Relations (CAIR), known for their nearly constant reverberation of antisemitism, is now making the claim that the Minnesota Welfare fraud case is really a plot by President Trump and of course, Israel.

CAIR claims that efforts to repeal deportation protections for Somali immigrants are part of an “Israel First” conspiracy targeting Muslims in America. They argue this campaign unfairly singles out Somali Americans and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. The controversy stems from reports that Minnesota state welfare funds were misused to sponsor Islamic terrorism. GOP leadership has been pressing harder on those allegedly complicit in these schemes.

Jaylani Hussein, CAIR’s Minnesota director, framed the issue as a coordinated campaign against vulnerable communities. He linked it to conservative voices like Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson, suggesting they too are being targeted for criticizing U.S. support for Israel.

Repeating Pattern of History

If this sounds familiar, it is almost the same type of rhetoric that began in pre-WWII Germany. Early on, Hitler didn’t go around preaching his ‘final solution’ doctrine, but just as CAIR is doing now, the Nazi began with a systematic scapegoating all the problems with Germany were because of the efforts of the Jews. This is no different to what CAIR is doing today. The political weaponization of framing fraud allegations on the Jews shifting blame away from the Somali community and onto Trump and the Jews.

In 2014, the United Arab Emirates designated CAIR as a terrorist organization, citing alleged ties to extremist groups. CAIR strongly denied this, but the designation added to its global controversy.

CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism financing trial in U.S. history — the Holy Land Foundation case. The foundation’s leaders were convicted of funneling money to Hamas, and one CAIR co-founder in Texas was sentenced to 65 years in prison.

I guess the moral of the story is, you can judge a person, an organization, or even a nation by who their enemies are. If CAIR hates Trump, if they hate the Jews, then Trump and the Jews must be doing something right.

2 Don’t you hear the uproar of your enemies?
Don’t you see that your arrogant enemies are rising up?
3 They devise crafty schemes against your people;
they conspire against your precious ones.
4 “Come,” they say, “let us wipe out Israel as a nation.
We will destroy the very memory of its existence.”
5 Yes, this was their unanimous decision.
They signed a treaty as allies against you— Psalms 83:2-5 NLT

By their name alone, CAIR is an organization that opposed God and the Bible. The best weapon you can use against these people is prayer. If one dies, another takes their place. But God can remove the power of Satan from them. And prayer is the best weapon you have to really harm CAIR. Visit the “Prayer Intercessor” page and join us in prayer!

CAIR spins anti-Israel narrative about Somali fraud as scrutiny grows

75-Year-Old Nazi Sympathizer Given a Free Pass in Court.

Montauk, New York Judge Gives 5 Days in Jail

Lady justice under attack from an evil presence with red, glowing eyes.

2 Dec. 2025: A pro-Nazi antisemitic man, Michael Nicholoulias was given 5 days in jail for harassing the Jewish residents of Montauk, New York. Montauk is a hamlet in East Hampton, Long Island, New York. According to news reports, Nicholoulias spray-painted swastikas and antisemitic phrases on businesses, public benches, food trucks and fences in late 2023. The graffiti appeared at places like Naturally Good health food market and Bounce Beach Montauk, sparking outrage and community clean-up efforts.

Nicholoulias painted swastikas and phrases like “Jews Die” and “Jews Burn” in targeted attacks in the beachfront destination from October to December 2023.

Ray Tierney, the Suffolk County District Attorney announced the arrest and pursued charges. The case was arraigned before Justice Steven A. Pilewski in Suffolk County Supreme Court. Pilewski does not run for re-election again until 2031. District Attorney runs for re-election again in 2029.

What has outraged residents the most is the fact that Nicholoulias didn’t even serve the 5-day sentence he was given. He was released for “Good Behavior” after only 1 day in jail.

11 Now God saw that the earth had become corrupt and was filled with violence. 12 God observed all this corruption in the world, for everyone on earth was corrupt. 13 So God said to Noah, “I have decided to destroy all living creatures, for they have filled the earth with violence. Yes, I will wipe them all out along with the earth!” – Genesis 6:11-13 NLT

37 “When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day. 38 In those days before the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat. 39 People didn’t realize what was going to happen until the flood came and swept them all away. That is the way it will be when the Son of Man comes. – Matthew 24:37-39 NLT

Green Fireball in the Sky Draws Attention in Michigan

Fireball Was Traveling at Nearly 100,000 MPH When it Exploded!

1 Dec. 2025: A brilliant green fireball streaked across the U.S. sky on November 23, 2025, moving at nearly 100,000 mph before exploding over Lake Huron. It was caused by a fragment of a comet entering Earth’s atmosphere, producing a vivid emerald glow due to vaporized nickel in the rock.

On November 23rd of this year, at 5:29 am, a green fireball was first visible above 62 miles above Hubbard Lake, Michigan. It then traveled 82 miles before disintegrating 46 miles above Lake Huron. The fragment was calculated at a velocity of about 98,500 mph. It ended in a bright green flash seen across Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana and even as far as Ohio. NASA and the American Meteorological Society (AMS) confirmed and cataloged the event as #9010-2025

The emerald color came from nickel in the comet fragment. When vaporized by atmospheric friction at extreme speeds, nickel emits green light.

This is just another of the many, many anomalies that have been part of the recent attention in the heavens. From interstellar comets that cause some scientists to speculate on alien spacecraft, to comets that defy scientists’ expectations and survive trips closer to the sun. And how could we not forget to mention the Northern Lights seen so frequently in the lower 48 states. Now, scientists can give us perfectly reasonable explanations as to why these things are happening. But can they explain why they all suddenly began happening in 2025? Perhaps, but can they explain why Jesus told us these things would coincide at the time of the end?

25 “And there will be strange signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. 26 People will be terrified at what they see coming upon the earth, for the powers in the heavens will be shaken. – Luke 21:25-26 NLT
