Joe Biden, Democrats, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and the RINOs are colluding on an aid package for Ukraine, which may upset plans by some Republican lawmakers to remove Johnson from the Speaker’s chair. The $95 billion package provides an additional “$60.84 billion to address the conflict in Ukraine and assist our regional partners as they counter Russia, $23.2 billion of which will be used for replenishment of U.S. weapons, stocks, and facilities.” It also provides aid to both Israel and, reportedly, Palestine. “I will sign this into law immediately to send a message to the world,” said Joe Biden in...

Are you looking for current events to identify the “biblical last days?” If so, you are reading your own presuppositions into the text. Theologians call that “eisegesis.” That’s an illegitimate methodology for biblical interpretation. Instead, we should be trying to glean the meaning intended by the biblical authors themselves―and the understanding of the original audience, i.e. “exegesis.” Let’s avoid newspaper-eschatology and go to the Bible to define the “last days” or “end times.” The Bible never speaks about the end of the world―only about end of the AGE. The King James Version of the Bible has misled readers for 400...

So many people ask, “How in the world could this be happening? It is so crazy!” And they are correct. But the bible has been foretelling world events for thousands of years so it makes sense that perhaps it may have insight into what is going on today. A year or so ago, a good friend of mine who owns TheLibertyDaily.com sent me this chapter to read and everything made sense. Here are my thoughts on this chapter and the passage is below the video: 9:51 VIDEO AT LINK.......... II Thess Chapter 2 The Man of Lawlessness 2 Concerning the...

The current heat wave is being relentlessly blamed on increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but there is a much more plausible explanation, one that is virtually endorsed by two of the world’s leading scientific organizations. It turns out that levels of water vapor in the atmosphere have dramatically increased over the last year and a half, and water vapor is well recognized as a greenhouse gas, whose heightened presence leads to higher temperatures, a mechanism that dwarfs any effect CO2 may have.So why has atmospheric water vapor increased so dramatically? Because of a historic, gigantic volcanic eruption...

Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) will not last long as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. Host Jake Tapper asked Pence what kind of Speaker he expected McCarthy to be. Kinzinger said, “If you had asked me five years ago, I would have said a pretty good one. Now, I think he has cut so many deals with bad people to get to this position that I think he’s not going to be a leader.”

The average cost of a Thanksgiving meal for 10 people in 2022 is estimated to be around $64 dollars, according to a new report from the Farm Bureau, marking a 20 percent increase from the $53 total measured in 2021. The organization’s 37th annual survey found the price of turkey alone costs 21 percent more this year than last, at $28.96 for a 16-pound bird. However, the increase for this Thanksgiving staple can be attributed to more factors than just general inflation. The U.S. inflation rate in October was 7.7 percent, down from 8.2 percent measured in September. “The higher...

President Joe Biden tried to flatter Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday during a reception celebrating the Jewish New Year. “Kamala won’t be the last woman, to be vice president, or president,” Biden said at the beginning of his speech, prompting Harris to look over in the president’s direction. Biden spoke after he was introduced by Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff at the reception at the White House

A new film is highlighting the story of a controversial Japanese soldier who refused to surrender after the Second World War ended and spent 29 years hiding in the jungle. Hiroo Onoda, who died in 2014 at the age of 91, was stationed on the island in the Philippines in 1944 but remained until 1974 because he did not believe the war was over. He survived by eating dried banana skins, coconuts and stolen rice, believing he was in a guerilla war for 30 years. Onoda became the last Japanese soldier to surrender – but only after his former commander,...

Leftist Congressman Gabriel Boric, 35, will become the youngest president in Chile’s history after winning a comfortable victory in the South American nation’s most polarized election since its return to democracy more than 30 years ago. With virtually all of the vote counted, the millennial progressive who burst into prominence a decade ago as a shaggy-haired student protest leader had garnered almost 56% of the ballots. That compared with about 44% for his opponent, José Antonio Kast, 55, a far-right career politician and admirer of Chile’s former military dictatorship. *** the results represented the latest triumph for the left in...

Are you looking for current events to identify the “biblical last days?” If so, you are reading your own presuppositions into the text. Theologians call that “eisegesis.” That’s an illegitimate methodology for biblical interpretation. Instead, we should be trying to glean the meaning intended by the biblical authors themselves―and the understanding of the original audience, i.e. “exegesis.” Let’s avoid newspaper-eschatology and go to the Bible to define the “last days” or “end times.” First, let’s consider an important passage from the Old Testament: Daniel 12. This chapter is about the “TIME OF THE END” (12:4, 6, 8, 9, 13). The...

CNN’s town hall event with Joe Biden was a total bust and came in dead last with only 1.5 million viewers Wednesday evening.Joe Biden is such a popular president that no one watched his heavily promoted town hall event.Fox News reported:CNN’s heavily promoted town hall event with President Biden failed to resonate with Americans on Wednesday night, as it got thumped by Fox News and even finished with a smaller audience than MSNBC. The CNN Biden town hall, moderated by Don Lemon, averaged only 1.5 million viewers from 8-9:30 p.m. ET, while Fox News averaged 2.7 million viewers during the...

WHEN ARE/WERE THE BIBLICAL LAST DAYS? Here are some views of Christians: (a) Some undefined period in the future near the end of history. (b) Will begin at a future literal rapture of the church. (c) Began in 1948. (d) Will mark the end of the Christian age. (e) Began in the first century and continue today, essentially meaning the new covenant era. Years ago, as I studied this carefully, I had to admit that none of these views are biblical. The last days/end times, according to Scripture, marked the END OF THE OLD COVENANT ERA in the first century....

In this Third Chapter of Timothy, Paul writes to both warn and encourage believers in Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior about what will transpire in the Last Days before His Return. Beloved, our Lord and Savior Jesus' Return is so imminent, so close, that it could happen at any moment! May the Holy Spirit inspire and encourage you, those who have not decided to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, to do so. Your eternal spirit--the real you, which looks out from your physical eyes, which is your self-awareness within that "earth suit" that you walk this...

Here's a good synopsis of the video.... Throughout the course of the last four years, President Donald Trump and CNN have been at odds with one another. We’ve seen the various stunts the network’s reporters have pulled throughout the Trump administration. Trump has repeatedly called the network out for “fake news” while CNN continually defends the network’s reporting. CNN, however, proved just how much they despise the Trump administration. The confirmation came on Wednesday during their coverage of President Trump leaving the White House. “He looks small. He just looks like a small man. And that is exactly the way...

Solyndra is no longer the administration’s biggest energy blunder. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper appeared a think tank event held in Washington yesterday. Harper said Obama’s rejection of the controversial pipeline — even temporarily — stressed Canada’s need to find other buyers for oilsands crude. And that wouldn’t change even if the president’s mind did. “Look, the very fact that a ‘no’ could even be said underscores to our country that we must diversify our energy export markets,” Harper told Harman in front of a live audience Canada could make more money by creating a market for its oil rather...

THE BIBLICAL LAST DAYS by Charles Meek Years ago, when I began studying the Bible seriously, I decided to "test all things" to see if what I was being taught about Christian doctrine was correct, as the Bible itself instructs us to do in 1 Thessalonians 5:21. I wanted to know and to teach the truth, even if the truth was contrary to my previous assumptions. I did extensive studies of all the popular doctrines of classical Christianity, including: the evidence for God, the divinity of Christ, the Trinity, the atonement, the resurrection, the inspiration of Scripture, the sinful nature...

Do you merely ASSUME that you know what is meant by biblical “last days?” Are you willing to see what the Bible actually teaches? This study is an exegesis on what the biblical writers were conveying about the so-called “last days” or “end times.” There are two views among Christians. The first view is that the end times are about the end of the physical world—that is, the end of history. This first view is called “futurism.” The second view is that the end times are about the end of the Old Covenant Age. This view is called “preterism.” In...

There is much confusion about the so-called "last days" or "end times" of the Bible. Eschatology is very controversial among Christians, and different Christian sects have different opinions on how to interpret critical passages. But very few Christians have really searched Scripture for the truth about this, relying on newspaper theology rather than true scholarship. Hopefully, the serious student will find this short article helpful as an introduction to eschatology. Pray for discernment. At the bottom of this article is an exhaustive list of “Last Days/End Times Passages” in the New Testament. Included are some additional passages referenced for context....

Many Christians await the Second Coming in which Jesus restores all EARTHLY things to an idyllic world with no more sin, death, crying, or pain—from a literal reading of Isaiah 11:1-9; 65:17-25 and Revelation 21:1-4. These Christians confront us preterists with this statement: “Jesus cannot have come yet because we still see sin, suffering, evil, and death all around us.” I think futurists need to be challenged on this biblically. Concerning sin, the Bible says that Jesus appeared at his First Advent to put away/remove sin (Hebrews 9:26; cf. Daniel 9:24-27; Matthew 1:21; John 1:29; Acts 5:31; Romans 6:1-14; Colossians...
