Ever since Donald Trump began to surge as a candidate last year, Christians have been pointing to the book of Isaiah and comparing Trump with the ancient Persian King Cyrus. Some have even claimed that God has revealed to them that He will use Trump for the good of America just as He used Cyrus for the good of the Jewish people, even though Cyrus was a "pagan" king. Could this be true? Let's first look at the biblical and ancient Near Eastern evidence. Cyrus (whose name was pronounced "ko-resh" in Hebrew) became king of Persia in 559 B.C. and...

An ocean data buoy is alerting to an "event" in the Cascadia Subduction Zone off the west coast of Oregon. This is where a magnitude 9 earthquake hit in 1700. According to the data buoy, the water column height (depth) fell sharply within minutes off the coast of Oregon, signaling the land beneath the ocean has suddenly "sunk." As of 0231:30, the initial water column height is 2738.80 Meters deep (8985.56 feet). Two minutes and thirty seconds later, that same water column height had dropped to 2738.66 Meters deep (8985.10 feet). Where did the four inches of water disappear to?...

Me, Revski singing A-Capella the song, I'd Rather Have Jesus, in my back yard. This song was on my heart and I wanted to sing it to you and if you listen I know you will be Blessed. This is the original uncut video, the day it was sung. The music for that tune was composed in 1939 by George Beverly Shea, the renowned gospel singer. Shea was still performing almost up to the time of his death in 2013 at the age of 104. Thanks for watching.

This video is full of memories and has two hymns, Nearer My God to Thee and Till We Meet At Jesus Feet. These hymns or covered by myself, playing my mandolin. As my mother would say; Thanks a million for watching and commenting.

While we now appear to be in a period of declining magnetic field strength, we cannot state for certain if or when a magnetic reversal will occur. Based on measurements of the Earth's magnetic field taken since about 1850 some paleomagnetists estimate that the dipole moment will decay in about 1,300 years. [...] Even if Earth's magnetic field is beginning a reversal, it would still take several thousand years to complete a reversal. We expect Earth would still have a magnetic field during a reversal, but it would be weaker than normal with multiple magnetic poles. Radio communication would deteriorate,...

Throughout the years, I've had the privilege of seeing much in the way of healing. I've been in meetings where people have been prayed for who walked for the first time, or whose hearing was restored. I've seen arthritis disappear, legs lengthened, epilepsy healed. (It's not that I prayed for most of these people—just that I witnessed these things firsthand.) I used to have a heart arrhythmia that would occur several times per day. Once it went on for so long I nearly went to the emergency room. Although we were living here in the United States at the time,...

This year, 64 percent of all Americans will celebrate Halloween, but I will not be one of them. For me, it is a wretched, horrible holiday that celebrates the darkest side of humanity, and it is deeply rooted in ancient pagan traditions that would get people thrown in prison if they attempted to duplicate them today. With each passing year, the sexually suggestive costumes being marketed to our young girls become even skankier, the horror movies become darker and even more demonic, and the number of Americans that participate in occult ceremonies just continues to grow. In fact, it has...

America’s banking crisis will reshape Europe financially—and politically. One of the greatest prophecies in the Bible is about the union of European nations. More specifically, it’s about the political union of 10 European nations. For decades, people in Europe have tried to forge a cohesive political union. To that end, they have created the present, loosely hinged 28-nation European Union. Yet Revelation 17 says there are going to be 10 kings there that will unite politically and form a real superpower: a modern-day Holy Roman Empire. Bible prophecy also reveals that this European superpower will be led by a strong...

Sir Elton John says he wants to meet Vladimir Putin to discuss what he called the Russian president's "ridiculous" attitude to gay rights. A report by Human Rights Watch last year said Russia was failing to prevent and prosecute homophobic violence amid a rise in attacks against minorities. Speaking to the BBC, Sir Elton said he would welcome talks with Mr Putin even though "he may laugh behind my back... and call me an absolute idiot". The musician is currently in Ukraine. He met Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and called for the country to give stronger support to the lesbian,...

The Genesis Flood and Noah’s Ark. Fact or fiction? by Tas Walker Published: 27 August 2015 (GMT+10) Many doubt the biblical story of Noah’s Flood. To many the story seems a gross exaggeration or a work of fiction. And if Noah’s Flood is not believable, why trust any historical account in the Bible? People have posed many objections to a factual interpretation of this event and this article (and the articles linked to it) answers many of the key questions people have about the Flood and the Ark.

Today, music is the main hypnotic vehicle used by Satan to brainwash the masses and to get them to a state that is anti authority and anti God. Wherever one ventures you cannot help but see, hear and witness the music industry dominating our American society and culture. The advancement of the Hard Rock and Heavy Metal (1969-1991) movement was purposely designed to further erode and break down the moral walls and fiber of our American Judeo/Christian society and culture at a more rapid rate. In Satan’s plan, America must be eradicated before he can establish his 666 world government...

There are many stories out there about Gideon. The similarity to Trump is intriguing. Like Trump, he was not born into politics, but chosen. I'm sure Trump agonized over the decision to run for president. I'm sure too, that he felt called to do this. There are too many things going on, that make me think that he is the one, to lead us from the nightmare of the past six years, and what threatens to follow. We are on the verge of giving Iran nuclear weapons. We have a president who tosses aside our security now and for ever....

Oh-ho-ho America, you are just BEGGING for the wrath of the Holy God to fall on you! Could this country BE more pagan? Could we possibly tempt the Lord God Almighty in more ways?! Last week, the heathen goddess Kali was projected onto the side of the Empire State Building in New York City. Gee. Great idea. The Times of India online reported “Artist Android Jones designed the portraits of the goddess to make the point that Mother Nature, now more than ever, needs a fierce avatar to fight the dangers of pollution and extinction.” I hate to tell you...

My dear friends, I and others believers love Rush Limbaugh and have a great burden for his soul. It is truly our opinion based on Almighty God's Word (Matt. 7:20) that Rush Limbaugh needs to be saved and someone needs to say it today! Rush needs to come to a saving relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ in spirit and truth; for in Jesus Christ is found the TRUE ETERNAL RIGHTNESS and ETERNAL OPTIMISM that Rush so desperately needs (John 1:12, Acts 16;29-31). For in Jesus Christ is found the TRUE ETERNAL RIGHTNESS and OPTIMISM that Rush so desperately needs....

AT LEAST five British national newspapers yesterday screamed in front page stories about Cecil, the lion that was killed by an American tourist, Walter Palmer, on July 1 at a game farm in Gwayi Conservancy. The Telegraph, The Guardian, Metro, The Mirror and The Independent — all British heavyweights — ran with the story, condemning Palmer, a dentist from Minnesota, for taking down Cecil after paying $50,000 for the hunt. The lion was also a big news item on Sky News, the BBC and CNN. Many American news outlets, including The New York Times gave Cecil much prominence too. Why...
