March 4, 2025 Headline: As European and Arab leaders panic, Trump gives Netanyahu rare freedom of action Excerpt(s) From Article: 'In both wars, the positions — and often mind-boggling statements — of US President Donald Trump loom large. But as Europe scrambles to come up with a response to the angry new American approach to Kyiv, Israel finds itself with no overt criticism from the Trump administration and wide freedom of action as it seeks to achieve its key war goals of destroying Hamas and bringing home all remaining hostages' Biblical Connection: Beast and Image of the Beast Rev 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. Rev 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. Rev 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, Rev 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. Rev 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Thoughts: The Image of the Beast is looming large in world view. The political/religious reign of the current despotic president of the United States and his minions are blatantly witnessed by all who care to see. Back to Top 2. March 5, 2025 Headline: White House holds Ash Wednesday Mass for staff Excerpt(s) From Article: President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump also issued a greeting for Ash Wednesday. “This Ash Wednesday, we join in prayer with the tens of millions of American Catholics and other Christians beginning the holy season of Lent — a time of spiritual anticipation of the passion, death, and resurrection of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,” the message reads. Biblical Connection: 2Co 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 2Co 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. Thoughts: Only by knowing the TRUTH will we not be deceived by these false apostles, deceitful workers, evil angels transformed to appear as angels of light and ministers of righteousness… who are EVIL. Deception is one of Satan's greatest tools. What is more horrific than finding out you've been following a devil in disguise? We so readily believe that those who preach the perfect words are God's, but Satan knows those words and his evil angel hoard knows them too. So often in my studies I quote these verses- Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. If you've ever been deceived then you know how awful it is. You are incredulous that you were fooled. You beat yourself up thinking you should have known, you should have seen. You might look back on all the little things that you should have noticed but didn't. You tell yourself you'll never let yourself be deceived again. We don't usually let ourselves be deceived. Sure, sometimes we might suspect someone is lying to you - a loved one maybe - and you choose to overlook it because you love them and it's easier to keep loving them than face the heartache of confronting the lying and having your life change. That is pretending to be deceived, because once you know the deception exists it's lost its basic nature of deception. Deceiving is not knowing. Satan deceives and the majority of the entire world will be deceived because we know the Bible tells us this-- Mat_7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Mat 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect We know this truth and so many just ignore it completely! They pretend it doesn't exist at all. They want to believe everyone will be saved in the day of Jesus Christ's return. Just reading the words… FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT… few there be that find the WAY, should have all of us on our knees praying we are not deceived, we are not among the many, a daily prayer. Back to Top 3.   March 5, 2025 - Headline: 'Rejecting Arab plan, White House says Trump ‘stands by his vision to rebuild Gaza free from Hamas’ Excerpt(s) From Article: The White House comes out against the Arab plan for the post-war management of Gaza and sticks to US President Donald Trump’s plan to take over the enclave and relocate all of its two million residents. Biblical Connection: Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Daniel 11:45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. Thoughts: While we are told to watch Jerusalem- knowing that the 'tabernacles' will be planted by the Papacy there. We have to keep our eyes opened to the political doings there, when the Papacy is involved and when the Image of the Beast (Papacy) is involved. Numerous articles of the late Webmaster Eric Jones go into depth on the fact that the politics in America are deceptively of the Beast in ways so many refuse to see. LINK Another message we dare not ignore from Eric Jones-        'In His prophecies of the end times Jesus repeatedly warned His followers to "Watch." As we watch, it is evident that the unfolding scenes are complex - so complex that eyes may glaze over from trying to understand them; but we cannot afford to fall asleep on watch. As we "wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" (Eph. 6:12,) it is particularly evident that Rev. 16:13-14 is being fulfilled.         By deception Satan would gather all of humanity into the Battle of the Great Day of God Almighty on his side if it were possible. His power to deceive is very great; but the power of the Spirit of Almighty God is greater yet. It is He Who will give us an understanding that is impregnable against Satan's deceptions.         We can understand the unfolding of the end-time prophecies with prayer and perseverance in time to be protected against the final overwhelming deception, which is closely connected to the fulfillment of Dan. 11:45.         We have seen in the meteoric rise of Donald Trump to the US presidency (Note- written during Trump's first term) how swiftly events that are stranger than fiction can overrun the nation and the world. To the majority of inhabitants of the earth what is predicted in prophecy might also seem stranger than fiction; but it will come to pass.' My thoughts on the above paragraph- Today under Donald Trump's shocking second term as President of the United States, things are taking an even MORE unbelievable turn than they were the first time. We must WATCH. Extra: More from Eric Jones- 'Everywhere that Trump turns his attention, the results are disruption of the norms that have prevailed in the nation and the world, and an intensified danger of conflict where the threat has always existed. While North Korea is one area of danger, there is another in the Middle East, and this is also the area where the final dramatic events of earth's history are to take place. Trump has been stirring up trouble between Saudi Arabia and Iran, with war threatened. It can be stated with confidence that this would not fit the prophecies of Dan. 11:40-44. However, it does stir up conflict in this volatile area which is involved in these prophecies. What is very clear is that the Trump administration is engaged in dangerous meddling in Palestine, the geographical area which is central to the final great prophecy signaling the imminent close of probation for all humanity (Dan. 12:1.) Here we are confronted by a very complicated situation which is difficult to read…'    Back to Top 4. March 5, 2025 - Headline: Project 2025 and Opus Dei Excerpt(s) From Article: 'The world has been noticing the astonishing pace at which the second Trump administration has proceeded with its agenda. Historic announcements on the future of Gaza and Ukraine; the end of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs within the federal government; the swiftness in rounding up undocumented migrants to deport them from the United States; the official proclamation of the American government that only two genders will be recognized (male and female)—these are some of the measures that have already impacted American society and the global discourse.         A large part of Donald Trump’s policy procedures are in line with Project 2025, a 900-page manifesto composed by the Heritage Foundation (one of the most influential conservative think tanks in America, established in 1973).'        'Its present leader, Kevin Roberts, is receiving ongoing spiritual advice from Opus Dei,' NOTE- '"Opus Dei" translates to "Work of God" in Latin. It refers to a Catholic organization whose members seek to live a holy life by incorporating their faith into their daily work and lives.' Biblical Connection: Revelation 13:11-19 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Thoughts:         Once again we need to keep our eyes open. We need to be watching so we are NOT taken unaware. Too many people believe they are incapable of being duped. They are above being deceived because they love God and accept Jesus and all the rest means nothing all that important. That old prophecy about the mark of the beast and the seven last plagues, those that don't love God and accept Jesus, those are the ones that have to worry about that. I wish I could SCREAM into the minds of those people- Jesus is going to profess these words to them- Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.         Who are the ones who believe they are doing the Lord's works? It's not those who haven't accepted Jesus and don't love God. These are the very people who are shouting their love of God and Jesus! Outwardly to all appearances they LOVE God and Jesus! They believe with their whole hearts they LOVE God and Jesus! They will hear those words of Jesus and only realize too late that Jesus doesn't know them, that they are workers of iniquity. DON'T BE FOOLED!         Those many are not God deniers and Jesus haters. He didn't say, Many will say to me in that day, I've hated you, Lord, I've denied you, Jesus. The many say they believe in God and love Jesus- but who they really love and believe in is themselves and Satan has them deceived into believing they are God fearing and Jesus loving. When we read about the politics and religion mingling it's straight from Revelation 13 and the Image of the Beast being formed, the image, ultimately many will bow down to receiving the mark of the beast.

Biblical Connection: Revelation 13:11-19 Thoughts:         The president of the United States JOINS in prayer with TENS of MILLIONS of American Catholics…         The Papacy is the BEAST and will FOREVER be the Beast until it is destroyed in the lake of fire. Will a literal 'beast' be burnt in the flames? Will the Papacy as a false religious system be burned up in the fire? What constitutes the Beast-Papacy? Its followers, its adherents to the principles of that false religious system. Its leaders, ministers, proponents. All of those who make up the Beast-Papacy will be destroyed eternally in the lake of fire.         Those who do not want the truth, are blinding by deception believing they are the true followers of God. The leader of the United States - the lamb with two horns, a voting democracy- the leader joins in prayer with the Beast-Papacy followers. Once more the mingling of church and state and an Image of that Beast is forming. Back to Top 6.

'         '"The Bible is indispensable in understanding the development of Western civilization and American exceptionalism, history, and all similar subjects," said Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters. "The ongoing attempts to remove it from our classrooms is an attack on the foundation of our country."'         'Trump said that "religion and Christianity are the biggest things missing from this country."'         "I think it's one of the biggest problems we have," Trump added. "That's why our country is going haywire. We've lost religion in our country." Biblical Connection: Revelation 13:11-19 Thoughts: This article speaks for itself- Religion and Politics mingled in a Bible that contains - 'Founding Father Documents — The US Constitution, The Bill of Rights, The Declaration of Independence, and The Pledge of Allegiance …'       NO Bible should contain such things! A concordance, atlas of Biblical lands past and present, Biblical terminology - these things help in Biblical understanding, NOT political documents! Back to Top 7.

Charles, who is head of the Church of England, made building bridges between people of all faiths a priority since he ascended the throne 2 1/2 years ago.' Biblical Connection: Rev 17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. Thoughts: One of the harlots from the mother of all harlots, Babylon- The Papacy. The head of the Church of England, King Charles VIII, is wanting closer ties with the Papacy. The harlot daughter wanting to be even closer to the Mother of all Harlots. Back to Top 8. March 21, 2025 - Headline: 'Evangelical leaders pray over Trump in Oval Office: 'Faith is more important than ever before' Excerpt(s) From Article: "With gratitude and humility, we pray for President Trump. You assigned him, you appointed him, you anointed him for such a time as this. We ask You to cover him with the blood of Jesus, empowering him to advance an agenda of righteousness and justice, truth and love."         "Protect him from all evil as he undergirds our nation with the firewall of our Judeo-Christian value system. Fulfill Your purpose in his life"         "And as a result, we pray by faith that through his leadership, the following will take place in America — the fulfillment of Isaiah 58:8: Salvation will come like the dawn. Wounds will quickly heal. Godliness will lead us forward as the glory of God will protect us from behind. In Jesus' name, Amen."         "This is the No. 1 most pro-faith president in my lifetime. This is the fulfillment of Ronald Reagan's dream," Rodriguez proclaimed. "I was a kid, but I remember being inspired by Ronald Reagan, and he would talk about faith and America being a city on a hill, and the faith that guides us as Americans is our Judeo-Christian values system. This is taking his dream and bringing it to reality." Biblical Connection: Revelation 13:11-19 Thoughts: Donald Trump has proven time and time again that he is far from one who holds true Christian values. He is not seeking truth, Biblical truth. He is seeking a platform to stand upon to garner the admiration of other Christians who also lack Biblical truth in their lives. The blind leading the blind.

March 25, 2025 - Headline: Christian Nationalists Call On The Government To Seize 'Wicked Apostate' Churches.' Excerpt(s) From Article: 'On the most recent episode of the Right Response Ministries podcast, radical Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbon and his co-hosts advocated for the government to literally seize control of churches that do not share their far-right theology. It’s the latest bit of evidence that they view core American values like religious liberty and religious pluralism as nothing more than roadblocks to be dismantled as they impose their Christian nationalist vision on the U.S.'         'Joel Webbon is a hard-core Christian nationalist who believes women should not have the right to vote and Jews should not be able to hold public office. Along with Oklahoma state Sen. Dusty Deevers, former Trump administration official William Wolfe, and others, Webbon contributed to “The Statement on Christian Nationalism and the Gospel," which declared that the United States must formally “acknowledge the Lordship of Christ” in all its laws, “abolish abortion,” outlaw marriage equality, and “recapture our national sovereignty from godless, global entities who present a grave threat to civilization.”' Biblical Connection: Revelation 13:11-19 Also… Rev 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. Rev 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. - Rev 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, Rev 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: Rev 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. Thoughts: So many people believe in the Godless idea of forcing God into politics. Not only that, they want to force THEIR religion, THEIR idea of God into politics. The freedom of religion would be dismantled. They want to set up one religion for all to follow. This will set up things for the Mark of the Beast. Back to Top 11.

Biblical Connection: Dan 11:45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

Dan_7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. Thoughts: The little horn power - the Papacy- shall speak great words against the most High. 1) The Dogma of the Immaculate Conception – 1854 2) The Dogma of Papal Infallibility – 1870 3) The Dogma of the Bodily Assumption of the Virgin Mary into heaven - 1950         So many LIES! None of this is Biblical whatsoever! Catholics don't care because the Catholic church has claimed the authority to invent new things, non-Biblical things, because they believe God gave them that right, the power.         God gave us His word! His Holy word and NO WHERE is there anything about Mary having her own immaculate conception, that she continued a virgin, that she was taken up to heaven upon her death! The only thing they get right is she was the BLESSED mother of Jesus. People forever would call her blessed. John was instructed to treat her as his mother in place of Jesus when, Jesus was being crucified. None of that made her a saint, holy, an intercessor. There is NO maternal gaze from her. She sleeps in her grave along with many, many other important Biblical figures and all people but those who were raised upon Jesus' death, Elijah, Moses, and Enoch.        Christ is our only mediator in heaven!        1Ti_2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus Back to Top 13. March 25, 2025 - Headline: WCC presentation raises awareness on protecting Jerusalem as a city holy to the three monotheistic religions Excerpt(s) From Article: 'Participants viewed the newly released WCC video addressing the importance of freedom of worship in Jerusalem and for the whole world.' Biblical Connection: Daniel 11:45 Thoughts: Jerusalem plays a pivotal role in the very last days. Just reading that the WORLD Council of Churches, pause there for a moment. Read that again… the last part. The WORLD Council of Churches. This organization is about the totality of the entire world religions. It's a WORLD council. It has representation from people around the entire world. AND what are they stressing? Freedom of worship in JERUSALEM. Yes, they added and the whole world, but where is their emphasis? JERUSALEM! We can't ignore this, or rather, we shouldn't ignore this. Our focus is on Jerusalem, why? Because we know that's where -- HE plants the tabernacles of HIS palace and HE comes to his end, no one will help him at that time and then…         Dan 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.         A time of trouble such as the world has never ever seen... and then… DELIVERANCE!         So, yes, we need to keep our eyes on Jerusalem, discerning the signs of the times we are living in. We can't afford to be caught unaware. Those Christians living in Jerusalem in 66AD saw their city surrounded by armies of Romans. Then the Romans retreated giving them time to get out of that city, to run, to get far away. Then in 70AD when the armies came back- this time they destroyed the entire city. Those who listened to the word of God were safe, those who ignored it, died.         We have to watch the signs and no the times were headed for. That time of trouble such as never was… is on its way. Our lives must be completely surrendered to God because when Christ stands up, all probation is over for everyone, everywhere. Back to Top 14.

Exo 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: Exo 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: Exo 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. - Rev_14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. Thoughts: We know Biblically we are to keep the SEVENTH DAY holy and no other day of the week. We know the Seventh day is on Friday sundown to Saturday sundown. NO other day should we ever set aside as a day of rest. Back to Top 15. March 31, 2025 - Headline: 'Tao ’27: The Sabbath is for everyone' Excerpt(s) From Article: 'Like any commitment, the Sabbath entails sacrifice. I don’t think I could ever sacrifice as much as observant Jews do for the Sabbath, as I like cooking, biking and listening to music too much. But when I ride my bike past an Orthodox Jewish family walking to synagogue on a hot July Saturday morning, I consider that if they can say no to technology, surely I can say no to a few work commitments. Likewise, you will need to get in the habit of defending your Sabbath time.'        'When it comes to resting, I think Jewish tradition has two practical lessons that are useful for all of us: The Sabbath must be enforced, and it must be communal. Forced rest might seem like an oxymoron, but just like exercise or study, rest is something that should be done regularly, even when it isn’t convenient. Put it on your Google Calendar. A 24-hour day of rest is ideal — my Sabbath is noon on Saturday to noon on Sunday — but if you can’t do that, take 12 hours. Take three hours. Biblical Connection: Exo 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Exo 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: Exo 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: Exo 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. - Rev_14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. Thoughts: The author talks of his experience with a Jewish Sabbath. He does not get the sacredness of that day, and that Friday sundown to Saturday sundown is the only time for the Sabbath. God does not enter into his personal reasons for a Sabbath rest. I included this article because back in the time when they were mingling the sun worship day (Sunday) with the Holy Sabbath days, eventually keeping Sunday and no longer keeping the Holy Sabbath day, people went from right to wrong over time. It took time to weed out the seventh-day Sabbath from Christians- and NOT all Christ followers succumbed to the evil change made. Today if they introduce the day of rest as something GOOD for all people, how easy will the transition be to make that day the day of Sunday worship? Very easy. Back to Top 16.

Dan 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

Indeed, it made dialogue between leaders and followers of the major monotheistic religions “kosher” (legitimate) and mainstream. IT IS NOW accepted practice for leaders of religious communities at all levels to be in dialogue with each other in many places in the world, and to work together in common cause wherever possible to heal the world.'         'During the months of the recent war between Israel and Hamas, Pope Francis expressed his concern for what was going on in a profound way. In response to an open letter sent to him in November 2023 by a group of scholars and rabbis from Israel and other parts of the world, he wrote to “my Jewish brothers and sisters in Israel,” saying:         My heart is torn at the sight of what is happening in the Holy Land, by the power of so much division and so much hatred. THE WHOLE WORLD looks on at what is happening in that land with apprehension and pain. These are feelings that express special closeness and affection for the peoples who inhabit the land which has witnessed the history of Revelation.         He further noted that “this war has also produced divisive attitudes, sometimes taking the form of anti-Semitism and anti-Judaism. I can only reiterate what my predecessors also clearly stated many times: the relationship that binds us to you is particular and singular, without ever obscuring, naturally, the relationship that the Church has with others and the commitment towards them too.”'         'Pope Francis went on to stress the importance of pursuing peace as a religious obligation: In times of desolation, we have great difficulty seeing a future horizon in which light replaces darkness, in which friendship replaces hatred, in which cooperation replaces war. However, we, as Jews and Catholics, are witnesses to precisely such a horizon. And we must act, STARTING FIRST AND FOREMOST FROM THE HOLY LAND, WJERE TOGERTHER want to work for peace and justice, doing everything possible to create relationships capable of opening new horizons of light for everyone, Israelis and Palestinians.         Together, Jews and Catholics, we must commit ourselves to this path of friendship, solidarity and cooperation in seeking ways to repair a destroyed world, working together in every part of the world, and ESPECIALLY IN THE HOLY LAND, to recover the ability to see in the face of every person the image of God, in which we were created.'         'Because of this belief, I am profoundly grateful for Pope Francis’s letter for his Jewish brothers and sisters from February 2024, especially his emphasis on the need to pursue peace for all of God’s children in Israel and Palestine, Jewish and Arab alike.' Biblical Connection: Dan 11:45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. Dan 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. Thoughts: We are watching and praying. We don't want the very end times to come upon us as a snare. We don't want to be caught without oil in our lamps. We don't want to have our eyes blinded in need of salve. We don't want to be poor in need of the Gold we can only buy of God. We most definitely do not want to be caught naked and needing the white raiment of Christ's righteousness to cover us. Let us not consider ourselves rich and in need of nothing! We need Christ desperately. We need the Holy Spirit guiding us to all truth, keeping our eyes open to that truth as it unfolds before us.         Again, the Papacy will at some point in the end times before that time of trouble such as never was a nation, take hold in a very powerful way in Jerusalem. What has to happen for this to occur, I don't know, but I watch… I pray. Back to Top 19.

Excerpt(s) From Article: 'Serendipitously, the year 2025 is the seventeen-hundredth anniversary of the council, an occasion that has been marked by a series of academic and ecclesial events and statements. For example, two weeks ago the Vatican’s International Theological Commission published a lengthy document released at the same time that nearly 200 scholars from around the world met in Rome for a conference examining the history and ongoing significance of the Nicene Council'        'At the council the bishops approved the Nicene Creed, which proclaimed Jesus to be “true God from true God” and “of one being with the Father”, a text that is still widely recited today in Christian worship. In addition, they used the occasion to deal with a range of other pressing matters, chief among them being the proper date for celebrating Easter. By the time the council met, the timing of Easter had already been a subject of controversy among Christians for nearly a century-and-a-half.((Met in 325AD, so controversy since 170AD))'         'The reason for the dispute about the timing of Easter is that calculating the sacred day is more complex than one might think. Easter marks the day of Jesus’s resurrection which, according to the New Testament, occurred on a Sunday, following his crucifixion on the preceding Friday. The Friday of the crucifixion was also the day when the Jewish festival of Passover began, which took place on the fourteenth day of the lunar month Nisan. Some Christians continued to celebrate Easter on 14 Nisan, and became known as quartodecimans, from the Latin word for “fourteen”.         The problem is, 14 Nisan could fall on any day of the week, whereas many Christians believed Easter should always be celebrated on the first day of the week (Sunday) since that was when Jesus was raised from the dead. This led to the practice of holding Easter on the first Sunday after 14 Nisan' Biblical Connection: Luk 22:19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. - Act 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. Act 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Thoughts: First, there is NO, absolutely NO Biblical support for celebrating the resurrection with an Easter holiday, none! In spite of that, people do it in remembrance of Jesus' death and resurrection. There is only ONE command by JESUS Himself to us- The bread and new wine- we take communion and in doing so we honor the sacrifice of our Savior.        So, where did Easter start? By the offshoots of truth. The wolves that came in and drew many away after them. There were deceivers among them right away.        1Jn 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.         You say that the Catholic church isn't the antichrist that it believes Jesus came in the flesh. I tell you they do NOT believe Jesus came in OUR flesh. They have given Him Holy Flesh incapable of sinning! Satan would have NEVER tempted Jesus in the wilderness if there weren't the possibility of His sinning. Jesus was born with all the same tendencies to sin as we are, only HE never consented to any sin. He never gave into the temptations and not because he couldn't. Truly it matters what FLESH Jesus possessed and for those who think it's all semantics and isn't important, they will suffer the consequences of their own wrong beliefs. Back to Top 20. April 15, 2025 Headline: ‘There is no greater partnership than Israel & believing Christians,’ PM Netanyahu tells Trump's faith advisor Netanyahu offers vision of hope for Christianity and revival of values in America. Excerpt(s) From Article: 'The Israeli leader also called on Christians to engage with Israel more, and more deeply, especially by traveling to Israel to “understand how the Bible is really being played out in real time on this piece of earth that is so critical to our common civilization.”' Biblical Connection: Daniel 11:45, 12:1 Thoughts: No, greater partnership…. Jews and Christians. It is true, Christianity began in Israel. Jesus our Savior was born a Jew, born into the faith of His earthly parentage. Jesus broke from that faith wanting ALL of the Jewish faith to realize salvation as only found in Him and His sacrifice. Truly, Jesus wanted the Jews to break from their traditions and come to the truth. His Way, because He is the Way, that is where He wanted them to go. He didn't ask that they give up their core beliefs, because they are His beliefs, He was there, He brought them to life. He wanted all the trappings of mankind to go away, and He wanted them to live with the new realization that they no longer needed to sacrifice in the Temple at Jerusalem because, He, the ultimate sacrifice died for them all and they had to believe in that truth.         Yes, Christianity is Jewish at its roots, but Christianity was a WAY that was to REPLACE the Jewish religion, not walk side by side with it. The temple was left desolate, not something to replace, to mourn, not when the LAMB of God came and pointed the way to salvation through Him. Back to Top 21.

It is rooted in our love of democracy, in our love of the Judeo-Christian understanding that every life has worth and value. And it is one of the reasons that the president prays that every hostage will be released immediately. And it’s why I wear this (yellow ribbon) on my lapel today. But I want to express my appreciation to the Rabbi (Shmuel Rabinowitz) and to all the people who accommodated our visit here today. But also, I really do come with a sense of hope and optimism that God will do great things here in this holy city.”' Biblical Connection: Dan 11:45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. Thoughts: The fact that the Image of the Beast that rises up in the United States (an image of a political/religious union) is so important. This Image of the Beast- forms the alliance between politics and religion and truly we have to comprehend that being so close to the political/religious Jerusalem where the Beast will make his last stand is something to keep an eye on. The President of the U.S. is intent on making America religious and has asked the U.S. Ambassador to put a prayer note in the wall of the Western Wall of the Jerusalem Temple. We dare not make light of this by saying leaders worldwide do the same. We must watch and we must pray for discernment of the signs of our time. Back to Top 22.

We will never waver in safeguarding the right to religious liberty, upholding the dignity of life and protecting God in our public square.”'         “I’m grateful every day for this job, but particularly today where my official duties have brought me to Rome on Good Friday,” Vance wrote on X on Friday morning.         Vance added that he’d had “a great meeting with Prime Minister Meloni and her team” and wished “all Christians all over the world, but particularly those back home in the US, a blessed Good Friday. He died so that we might live.”         Vance was baptized into the Catholic Church in 2019, when he was 35.         At the Chigi Palace, the official place of residence for Italian prime ministers, Meloni told reporters that after their “wonderful meeting we had yesterday in Washington,” she is “proud” that Vance chose to spend Easter in Rome.         “We think Italy can be a reliable and and serious partner in Europe, in the Mediterranean, in the Mediterranean area, and so we are proud to have this special relation with with us and with this administration,” she said. Biblical Connection: Revelation 13:11-19 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Thoughts: Trump and Vance both representatives of the United States at its very highest level, are desperately trying to turn the religious freedom, and the keeping of religion out of politics, upside-down. They want an intense mingling of THEIR idea of religion into their politics. They are taking this message wherever they go. How far off is the following- - Rev 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

We are in the midst of a cosmic realignment, a moment when the Jewish people must assert their role as God’s light unto the nations. The return of the vessels would be a clarion call, a sign that we are ready to rebuild, to restore, to redeem.' Biblical Connection: Daniel 11:45, 12:1 Thoughts: Our eyes are on Jerusalem as the place where a mighty conflict is going to take place prior to Christ's return. They are ready to 'rebuild, restore, redeem' but that it NOT what God's word foretells. The devil works to deceive and he will do all he can in regard to the last day events at Jerusalem as well. We must not allow ourselves to be deceived, but we must watch and pray to ever be living in the truth of our Savior. Back to Top
