The neo-Nazi who inspired Edward Norton’s skinhead character in “American History X” has revealed he is now an observant Jew after turning his life around — and discovering his heritage through DNA testing. Frank Meeink, 48, became a leader of a violent ultra-right group in the early 1990s, torturing enemies who stood in the way of his attempt to foment a race war. Intensely anti-semitic and flaunting a flaming swastika tattooed on his neck, he railed against what he called the “Zionist occupation government” and believed the Jews were “the root of all evil.”

When Benjamin Netanyahu first became prime minister in 1996, he won with a simple slogan coined by some of his Chabad supporters: “Netanyahu: Good for the Jews” (נתניהו: טוב ליהודים). The morning after Netanyahu’s surprising victory, Shimon Peres, the outgoing prime minister, summarized his defeat with one terse statement: “The Jews defeated the Israelis.” Peres understood that the Oslo Accords and the wave of Arab suicide bombings, the hot-button issues of the time, were disguising the true battle for power in Israeli society. As Yair Lapid would later write about the Gaza disengagement, “It was not despite the settlers but...

A man convicted of possessing child porn is now preaching and leading a ministry at an Iowa Christian and Missionary Alliance church—all with the pastor’s full knowledge and blessing. In 2014, Michael James Colwell pleaded guilty to an aggravated misdemeanor of purchasing or possessing material depicting a minor in a sex act, according to his case records. Colwell now regularly preaches and leads a couples’ ministry at Grace Community Fellowship (GCF) in Missouri Valley, Iowa. According to GCF’s pastor, Brad Westercamp, Colwell is a changed man. “There was a drastic conversion, just a change in his life,” Westercamp said in...

“And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.” (Luke 23:42, 43). As Jesus hung on the cross, dying for the sin of the world, two criminals hung on either side of Him. Condemned for their crimes, they too would die that day. But one of them ultimately recognized who Jesus was. It was that criminal who called Him “Lord”. The Greek word for Lord Is “Kyrios” which is a title given to God, the Messiah. And...

I visited an old friend over the weekend. We had not talked for far too long a time. He gave me some sound advice–it was about me. We were discussing someone who was a mutual friend, and who’d wronged me. Even though I knew it was wrong to carry resentment towards my former friend for what he had done, nevertheless, I have been unable to completely shake that resentment. In a nutshell, my friend told me something I thought I already knew–that even if my former friend was 100% wrong–I AM WRONG FOR CONTINUING TO RESENT HIM FOR IT! That...

Reimagining Redemption: From Vatican II to Francis and BeyondTwo councils, over four hundred years apart, set forth profoundly different interpretations of the role of Jesus Christ’s earthly mission. Can you identify the two councils based on the passages below?Council A“Whereby it came to pass that the heavenly Father, ‘the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort,’ when that ‘blessed fullness of time’ was come sent to men Christ Jesus, His Son, who had been announced and promised, both before the Law and at the time of the Law to many holy Fathers, that He might both redeem the...

The Great Reset Perhaps the most telling indicator today of the rapidly approaching tribulation is the fast-rising world government that the Bible says will dominate the world during the tribulation period. The globalists openly discuss their plans for world domination, yet so many believers, as well as their pastors, remain oblivious to the sinister agenda of these elite power brokers. Daymond Duck, in his March 20, 2021, article on the Rapture Ready website, Apocalypse Approaching, wrote this in regard to the coming New World Order of the antichrist: The Bible clearly teaches that the Antichrist and False Prophet will be...

Jeremiah Chapter 7 They were dealing with each other unjustly Jeremiah 7:5 They were oppressing foreigners Jeremiah 7:6 They were oppressing the fatherless {orphans} and widows {the defenseless} Jeremiah 7:6 They were killing innocent people Jeremiah 7: 6 They were stealing, murdering, committing adultery and committing perjury in the courts. Jeremiah 7:9 God spoke to them again and again and told them to stop doing all these sins, but they refused to listen to Him and they kept on murdering innocent people. Jeremiah 7:13 They were stiff-necked and would not listen and obey the Lord -- they refused to respond...

As he takes the green flag at Daytona on Sunday, by recognizing the gift of his second chance, Kyle Larson already stands as a winner in the race of life.As the NASCAR season kicks off with Sunday’s 63rd Daytona 500, two events will mark the “Super Bowl of Stock Car Racing.” First, as the event marks 20 years since the death of Dale Earnhardt, Sr., on the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500, many in the auto racing community have focused on how Earnhardt’s death helped revolutionize safety innovations over the past two decades.Another storyline represents a comeback story...

Today in Jesus Name, I cover my beloved America with the blood of Jesus and declare America protected and redeemed by Jesus' blood which overcomes Satan and sends him and his minions to flight. Satan and his minions are defeated and will not occupy positions of power in America to destroy her. I declare a new birth of freedom in America and restoration of her Free Constitutional Republic by grace as a light of grace to the world.

10/16/2020: Marking 74 Years Since the "Purim Fest 1946!" Purim Code October 16, 1946 -- Shortly before Nazi Julius Streicher was executed, he yelled, "Purimfest 1946!" As it turned out, details of the Nuremberg trials and the sentencings had some unusual parallels with the Scroll of Esther. Among other things, the peculiar small letters within the list of Haman's sons (chapter 9) spell out the year of the events: (5)707. As he reached the platform Streicher cried out, 'Now it goes to G-d.' He was pushed the last two steps to the mortal spot beneath the hangman's rope. The rope...

Jocelynn James, a recovered drug addict and former member of “Franklin’s Most Wanted,” saved the life of the police officer who put her in jail nearly a decade ago. Between 2007-2012, James was arrested 16 times for theft and drug charges. James says she was in a very dark place and didn’t know if she would survive. James said she was finally able to get her life straightened out, and on Nov. 5, she will celebrate eight years out of jail and eight years sober. “God restored me from the inside out, and to be able to give another human...

White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow opened up about his battle with alcohol and drug addiction during an event hosted by First Lady Melania Trump on Thursday. Kudlow, 73, said it would have been “unthinkable” for him to occupy his current position 25 years ago, when he left his job as a Bear Stearns financial analyst and entered a 12-step program to deal with his dependence on booze and cocaine. “I was a hopeless abuser of alcohol and drugs. I had tried several times unsuccessfully to get sober,” Kudlow said. “Like a lot of my peers and friends, I went...

The solution to racial war: redemption vs. racism. All lives matter, and the problem is sin, not skin (and culture vs. color) "You [Bishops] say you've got to kill them because of what they did to you. You've [Mau Maus] got to kill them because of what they did to you. Everyone's griping abut this atrocity or that tragedy. All I hear is what a rotten deal we've all got."This reproof is what precipitated the conversion of members of two racially-opposed gangs which operated in New York City during the late 50's to early 60's, as portrayed in the Cross...

The ink was barely dry on headlines announcing Kobe Bryant’s sudden death in a helicopter crash Sunday before Twitter started buzzing with reminders about the 2003 rape allegations against him.Just hours after news broke about the crash, which also killed Bryant’s 13-year old daughter and seven others, Washington Post reporter Felicia Sonmez tweeted a link to a 2016 Daily Beast story recounting the 17-year-old rape case.In a series of follow-up tweets (now deleted) Sonmez unintentionally captured the depressing zero-sum spirit of woke cancel culture, writing, “Any public figure is worth remembering in their totality even if that public figure...

“We repent on behalf of our country for the sins of arrogance, for the sins of sexual deviancy, for the sins that have led us to the place where we are today,” one man earnestly prayed as he stood beneath the Capitol dome.

Men and women who once lived and identified as LGBT are set to proclaim how encountering Jesus transformed their lives for the second time in the nation's capital this weekend. The Freedom March, founded by Jeffrey McCall, is diverse group of Christians who have left the active practice of homosexuality and transgenderism behind and are testifying to the power of the Holy Spirit who set them free from sexual sin and wounds of all kinds. “I was transformed through the grace of Jesus and found that others have been as well. These marches are a way to ensure that others...

In this Easter season, I have been thinking about the importance of redemption. Over the years, by virtue of circulation in political circles, I have known personally some people involved in public scandals. The world watches as the media follows them relentlessly for days, weeks, or even months and then evaporates, leaving behind a scene of complete and utter self-inflicted personal destruction. Some of these folks are often distraught to the point of suicide. What the cameras don’t show is what happens after the hoopla dies down. Sometimes these folks turn inward and become bitter and permanently broken, but not...

A strange thread runs through the most prominent women associated with Jesus: they are all women of, shall we say, ill repute. Most of their notorious reputations spring from sexual scandals. What does this say about Christ? An awful lot. If your habit is to skip over the genealogies in the first chapter of Matthew’s Gospel, you may have missed a treasure buried in this list of forty fathers who comprise Jesus’s ancestry (if we count Joseph), stretching as far back as Abraham. The hidden treasure is the five women: Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Jesus’s mother, Mary. Why are...
