@Mark_Wilson_25 Love this emphasis on sound HERMENEUTICS! … This is part of my typical challenge to all who try to allegorize or spiritualize scripture to ignore God’s sovereign plan for His chosen people… through whom He will yet bring Himself awesome glory…despite their ongoing rejection.

❖ Does Spiritualizing Israel’s Promises Destroy Biblical Authority? In Genesis 17:8 God declares to Abraham: “I will give to you… all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession.” Genesis 15:18 expands the borders: “from the river of Egypt to the Euphrates.” These are specific, unconditional promises—land, nation, and future kingdom—spoken directly by God. Yet many today insist these must be spiritualized. The land becomes heaven or the church. The nation becomes the body of Christ. The kingdom fades into an invisible present reality. If the plain meaning of these clear statements can be redefined, can any promise in Scripture still stand? ❖ The Core Issue This is the core issue. Biblical authority itself is at stake. If we may reinterpret the most straightforward texts about land, nation, and kingdom as symbols, what stops us from applying the same method to creation, the flood, the exodus, the virgin birth, or the resurrection? ❖ Consistent Interpretation We face two different ways of reading the Bible. We take the accounts of creation, the flood, the exodus, the virgin birth, and the resurrection as literal events. No serious believer turns the empty tomb into a mere metaphor for personal renewal while denying the physical rising of Christ. So why suddenly change the rules when the prophets speak of Israel’s future? ❖ Two Hermeneutics. Two Outcomes. One approach treats concrete promises as abstract ideas. The other—the Hebrew prophetic approach—expects God to fulfill His Word in real history, with real people, in real places. ❖ Consider These Passages Ezekiel 36:24–28 “I will take you from the nations… bring you into your own land… I will give you a new heart.” Physical regathering comes first, followed by spiritual renewal. Ezekiel 37:21–22 “I will… bring them into their own land… one nation… David my servant shall be king over them.” Land, nation, and king—united in one promise. Isaiah 11:6 “The wolf shall dwell with the lamb…” A picture of real peace in a real kingdom, not merely inner tranquility. Zechariah 14:4 “His feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives…” A literal return to a literal place. C.H. Spurgeon warned: “If there be anything clear and palpable in Scripture, it must not be spiritualized away… Israel shall be restored to their own land.” ❖ Why This Matters It creates different rules for different promises. It raises questions about God’s covenant faithfulness. Romans 11:29 answers both: “The gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.” God’s promises to Israel are not Plan B. They form part of His eternal purpose and eternal faithfulness. ❖ The Kingdom Purpose In the coming Millennial Kingdom: David’s throne will be occupied. Satan will be bound. Creation will be restored. Israel will dwell securely. Every covenant—Abrahamic, Davidic, New, and Land—reaches its full earthly fulfillment exactly where the prophets placed it. ❖ The Certainty of Fulfillment Jesus is not returning to cancel His promises. He is returning to fulfill them. “His feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives” (Zechariah 14:4). The same feet that walked Judea will touch down again on that very ridge. ❖ The Real Question This is not a side issue about end-times charts. It is about whether the Bible means what it says. “Do not go beyond what is written.” (1 Corinthians 4:6) Spiritualizing Israel’s promises fractures the plain sense of Scripture and weakens the authority we claim to uphold. Reading them literally and consistently reveals a God who keeps every word—past, present, and future. ❖ Final Challenge The God who scattered Israel has promised to regather her. “I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel… and they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine… I will plant them on their land, and they shall never again be uprooted.” (Amos 9:14–15) His faithfulness is certain. The question we must each answer is this: Will we let the Bible speak plainly on Israel, or will we rewrite its clearest promises to fit our theology? Biblical authority hangs in the balance.

Understand this: The movies and shows about the crucifixion have been tame when compared to what He actually went through. Even The Passion Of The Christ was forced to hold back a little in order to avoid an X rating. Crucifixion was, and still is, arguably the most excruciating death someone can experience. The night before in Gethsemane, He was sweating blood. This is known as hematidrosis. This would have caused His skin to become extremely sensitive, thus making the beatings to come even worse. The fear He felt was the beginning of His feeling the weight of our iniquities being laid on Him. Yet - in this moment, He didn’t demand that the Father take it from Him. He only asked for the cup to pass Him over if it was within the Father’s will. Up next came the Cat of Nine Tails, or a Roman Flagrum. This was a weapon with long leather “tails”, each embedded with sharp bones and metal. He was flogged 39 times as Jewish law mandated “40 minus one”, because 40 was said to kill a man. This flogging wasn’t like being punished by your father’s leather belt. Every strike tore flesh, every strike exposed muscle. Every strike exposed nerve endings. Every strike tore flesh to the bone. This would be like getting struck with razor blades over and over again, leading to hypovolemic shock from blood loss. Oh, and the crown of thorns? These weren’t rose thorns. These were thorns which were 2-3 inches long. Beaten into his skull. These thorns would have pierced his skull, tripping the trigeminal nerve, thus causing unimaginable pain and even more blood loss from the dozens of head wounds. At this point, extreme nausea and dizziness would begin to set in. What came next? Carrying the cross. Which weighed around 300lbs. This would be like carrying two full kegs on your back. Splinters and wood grating against the open flesh on His back. And He had to carry it 650 yards, or close to a half mile. Imagine carrying a log on your back after being skinned alive. Up next? He was nailed to the cross with spikes 5-7in in length. Piercing His wrists - this no doubt pierced the median nerve, causing extreme burning sensations up and down His arms. A spike was driven through his ankles - severing nerves and tendons. This would have felt like standing on broken glass every time He pushed Himself up in order to breathe. He suffered for 6 hours. His chest muscles collapsing, making every single breath a fight for life. His shoulders were dislocated, His arms stretching unnaturally long. His heart was struggling to pump blood. He was extremely dehydrated, His lips cracking. His heart more than likely literally ruptured from the stress. And on top of all of that, He had to feel a separation with the Father for a period of time in order to REALLY bear the weight of our sin. He took up this burden for ALL sin before Him, and ALL sin which came after Him. HE DID IT ALL FOR US. To free us. To defeat sin. To give us a pathway to the Kingdom. Every sin we commit is exactly why He had to do it. And the real kicker? He knew what was coming when He rode into Jerusalem … and He didn’t turn around. He kept going. For us.

Did Passover Point to Something Greater All Along? On the night of Passover, as Israel remembered her redemption from Egypt, Yeshua reclined at the table with His disciples and said: “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.” (Luke 22:15) Nothing in that room was accidental. For generations, Jewish families told the story of the Exodus. The lamb without blemish. The blood on the doorposts. Judgment passing over. A people redeemed from bondage. But the prophets had already hinted the story was not complete. “He was led like a lamb to the slaughter… and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.” (Isaiah 53:7,6) At that table, in the quiet tension of shared bread and cup, Yeshua did not move away from Passover. He moved deeper into it. Taking the matzah, He broke it: “This is my body, given for you.” The bread itself was already meaningful. Unleavened. Pierced. Marked. Some within the Messianic Jewish community have noted that its stripes and piercings can call to mind the words of the prophet: “He was pierced for our transgressions… by his wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5) This is not how traditional Judaism has historically understood the matzah. Yet for those who believe Yeshua is the Messiah, the connection is not forced, but discovered. Then He lifted the cup after the meal: “This cup is the new covenant in my blood.” (Luke 22:19–20) This echoes the promise in Book of Jeremiah: “I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah.” (Jeremiah 31:31) Not replacing Israel. Not canceling the story. Continuing it. Even at the table, Scripture was unfolding: “He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.” (Psalm 41:9) As Arnold Fruchtenbaum has written, “The feasts of Israel are prophetic rehearsals, each one pointing to a future fulfillment in the Messiah.” From a Messianic Jewish perspective, Passover is not set aside. It is fulfilled. The Exodus was real. But it pointed forward to a greater redemption, from sin and death. Passover tells of redemption through a lamb. The question remains, as it did that night: Who is the Lamb?

No Kings explained for people who think they're fighting fascism. You're standing in a crowd on Saturday. You look around and think yeah. No Kings. This is what democracy looks like. Bro. You're holding a sign made by a communist billionaire who lives in Shanghai. You live in a constitutional republic. Elections. Term limits. A free press that spent four years calling the president a fascist without one journalist being arrested. The modern left's definition of fascism: You love your country? Fascist. You want to enforce the border? Racist. You think parents should raise their kids? Bigot. You want to know who's voting in your elections? Jim Crow. Being patriotic is fascism to the modern left. But every country has borders and enforces them. 176 countries require ID to vote. That's the definition of a country. But the Democratic establishment told you otherwise. And you believed them. Congress has a 15% approval rating. 80% of Americans disapprove. 97% of incumbents got re-elected. Chuck Schumer. 46 years. Longer than Stalin. Steny Hoyer. 45 years. Longer than Mao. Mitch McConnell. 42 years. 5x more than Napoleon. Nancy Pelosi. 39 years. Longer than Henry VIII. Maxine Waters. 35 years. Longer than Mussolini. Bernie Sanders. 35 years. Triple Hitler's entire reign. Trump. 5 years and 3 months. Won the popular vote and the electoral vote. But Trump is the king. Okay buddy. You don't hate kings. You hate kings that aren't yours. And Saturday they had you in the streets carrying their water. The Democratic Party installed a president without letting you vote. Biden quit on a Sunday. By Tuesday your queen was crowned. No primary. No debate. No ballot. First time since 1968. Three days before your march every Senate Democrat voted against photo ID to vote. During COVID you carried a vaccine card everywhere like a hall pass from the government just to eat at a restaurant. But getting a birth certificate or waiting two hours at the DMV to prove you're a citizen before you vote? That's oppression. The Democratic Party is pro illegal immigration. Counts non-citizens in the Census. Census determines congressional seats. More non-citizens means more seats means more power. No voter ID means no way to check. That's how you keep power without wearing a crown. Biden built a censorship machine. Pressured Facebook to suppress true information and admitted it in writing. Censored scientists. Censored doctors. Censored JOKES. The Biden White House told Facebook to remove "humor and satire." They literally went after people for making fun of them. UK does it better tho... Everything they censored turned out to be right. They just outsourced the silencing to Silicon Valley. And it doesn't stop at speech. The extreme left justifies taking children from families. Six thousand schools rewrite children's identities without telling parents. And the State has the right to intervene. The Hitler Youth did this. Mao's Red Guards did this. The Soviets built statues of a child who reported his own father. Same playbook. During Covid, your bakery got shut down. Church closed. You couldn't hold your dying mother's hand at the hospital. But thousands packed together during BLM to burn Minneapolis and THAT was essential civic engagement. Obviously. $2 billion in damage. 25 dead. 2,000 cops injured. 20 states burning. VP Kamala promoted a bail fund for the rioters. No investigation. No hearings. January 6. One building. Few hours. 1,000 prosecuted. Two years of televised hearings. Kings decide which violence counts. The left decided. Charlie Kirk spent his life walking onto campuses asking for honest debate. He was assassinated. CSIS terrorism database. 2025 is the first year in 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber right-wing. Yet no one brings this up. 75% of liberal students say preventing a speaker from talking is justified. 27% say violence is acceptable. Liberals who went to Trump rallies: "I never felt unsafe." "The experience changed me." Conservatives who show up on liberal campuses get screamed at, blocked, and assassinated. One side talks. The other side screams. The Party for Socialism and Liberation marched with you Saturday. Their stated purpose in their own words: "Revolution." Not reform. Marxism. The system that killed a hundred million people last century. They had you holding their signs while they said it out loud. 500 groups. $3 billion in revenue. Pre-printed signs. The signs were ready before you were angry. The money leads to Neville Roy Singham. Billionaire in Shanghai. Attends CCP workshops. Funnels millions through shell companies at UPS mailboxes. Three Congressional committees have subpoenaed him as a suspected CCP foreign agent. You thought you were fighting for democracy. You were carrying water for Beijing. "Liberals are leaving the First Amendment behind." Spoken by the ACLU lawyer who defended Nazis in court because it was their constitutional right. Bill Clinton put 100,000 cops on the street. Reformed welfare. Said illegal immigration is wrong to a standing ovation. Told America the era of big government is over. Today his own party would call him a fascist. The 1990s Democrat defended free speech for Nazis. Yours censors doctors for telling the truth. The 1990s Democrat held open primaries. Yours installed a nominee without a vote. The 1990s Democrat trusted parents. Yours takes their children. Historians measure fascism across eight traits. Here's who checks the boxes in 2026: Censorship of political opposition. Democrats. Contempt for democratic process. Democrats. Tolerance of political violence. Democrats. State ideology forced on families. Democrats. Corporate-state fusion. Democrats. Scapegoating and manufactured enemies. Both sides. Cult of personality. Both sides. Ultranationalism. Republicans. Five for the left. One for the right. Two shared. You marched against kings on Saturday. You marched FOR kings. You just didn't know which was which. Stop being gaslit. I hope you understand what's at stake.

That one neuron connects to about 7,000 others. Your brain has 86 billion of them. Do the math and you get somewhere around 100 trillion connections inside your head. More connections than stars in 1,500 galaxies. And each connection point is way more complicated than anyone expected. A Stanford lab found that every single connection contains about 1,000 tiny switches that can store memories and process information at the same time. So your brain is running roughly 100 quadrillion switches right now, while you read this sentence. The wild part is the power bill. Your brain runs on 20 watts. That’s less energy than the light in your fridge. The world’s fastest supercomputer needs 20 million watts to do the same amount of raw calculation. A million times more power for the same output. We’re still nowhere close to understanding how any of this works. In October 2024, a team of hundreds of scientists finished mapping every single connection in a fruit fly’s brain. Took six years and heavy AI help. That fly brain had 140,000 neurons. Yours has 86 billion. Google and Harvard also mapped a piece of human brain last year, a speck smaller than a grain of rice. That speck alone contained 150 million connections and took 1,400 terabytes to store. The lead scientist said mapping a full human brain at that detail would produce as much data as the entire world generates in a year. A tiny worm had its 302 brain cells mapped back in 1986. Almost 40 years later, scientists still can’t fully explain how that worm’s brain keeps it alive. Your brain has 86 billion of those cells, each one wired to thousands of others, each wire packed with a thousand switches, all of it humming along on less power than a lightbulb.

@JakePearson303 @Grok assess these claims as a PhD in chemistry

@WellsJorda89710 @dreverettpiper 🇮🇱

Someone just told me: “Pastor, you REALLY need to look into the modern state of Israel.” Bro… I have TWO seminary degrees from top Bible schools. Ordained minister. Thousands of hours in the Word. Read the Bible cover-to-cover multiple times. Devoured ~10,000 theology books. I didn’t get my view on Israel from CNN, TikTok, or some “enlightened” podcast. My source? THE BIBLE. And it’s crystal clear. 2/4 The Bible says: ✅ The Jews would return to THEIR land in the last days (Ezek 37, Isa 11:11-12, Jer 31) ✅ Jerusalem would become a global flashpoint (Zech 12:3) ✅ ALL nations would eventually turn against Israel (Zech 14:2) ✅ Jesus Himself will return to ISRAEL — feet on the Mount of Olives (Zech 14:4, Acts 1:11) ✅ The eternal capital of King Jesus will be JERUSALEM — not Dubai, not NYC, not heaven (Rev 20-21, Zech 14) 3/4 The Bible literally says “ALL ISRAEL will be saved” (Rom 11:26). God didn’t replace Israel. He didn’t transfer the promises. He didn’t change His mind. If you think the church “replaced” Israel, you’re arguing with God’s unbroken covenant — and you’re gonna lose that debate. 4/4 So nah… I don’t need your YouTube documentaries, Al-Jazeera clips, or “demonic propaganda.” I’ll stick with the most accurate book in history — the one that’s been 100% right on every prophecy so far. God’s not done with Israel. In fact, He’s just getting started. Drop a 🇮🇱 if you stand with God’s Word over the world’s noise. #Israel #BibleProphecy #EndTimes #JesusIsComing

@cscorbett @Startup_CFO_ @DefiyantlyFree Well-presented, Chris. Interpreting God’s word rightly is all dependent on a solid hermeneutic!

Your contention about history is wrong; you've fallen into the "Darby-->Scofield-->Heresy" error. Brent pointed out Puritan and even English Reformed adherents of God using the Jews in the end-times. But even more telling, pre-Augustinian Christianity is filled with early church fathers who believed elements of what is today called dispensationalism. Jerome (late 4th-early 5th centuries) believed in a literal tribulation, and ethnic Jews back in the land. Ephraim the Syrian (306-373 AD) believed in a pretribulational rapture and was an amillennial futurist. Irenaeus of Lyons (130-202 AD, who knew the east and west regions of Christendom) believed in a pretribulational rapture, the Jews returning to Israel, a restored Jerusalem temple, and a seven-year tribulation divided into two periods. Justin Martyr (2nd century) was a premillennialist who believed that many Jews would repent, accept Christ, and be found in Israel at His return. Tertullian (early 3rd century) was a premillennialist who believed in a future Jewish restoration of Israel as they accepted Christ. The Christian document "Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs" (late 2nd century polemic) said the Jews will return to Israel in the end-times. This arises out of whether you adopt a consistently plain-normal hermeneutic when reading scripture, or inconsistently allegorize selective parts. You can disagree, but to call it heresy is wrong. It's a solidly in-house debate. I do, however, agree with Brent that certain dispensationalists err when they say the scriptures mandate support for current Israel. The prophecies indicate they return in disobedience and are partly converted shortly before Jesus returns.

I'm so sick of this notion that the US gains nothing from its alliance with Israel and is simply handing it "free" money. Not only is this view wrong and foolish. It also reflects a complete disrespect for the fact that the US is the best, strongest, and most successful country in the world. So let's get something straight - The US doesn't support Israel only out of goodwill and it certainly doesn't do so because Israel is "tricking" it. The US-Israel relationship is built on values and affinity, but above all on hard interests and *business*. The alliance with Israel gives the US strategic depth and a major competitive advantage: ◾️ Intelligence: The intelligence Israel provides the US surpasses - both in volume and quality - the information the US receives from all NATO countries combined. It covers the regional and global activities of Russia, China, and Iran, including air warfare, urban warfare, terrorism, ballistic missiles, drones, weapons systems and doctrines, technological developments, and nuclear proliferation. Strong examples include Jan 20 and Oct 21, when Israeli intelligence warned of impending Iranian attacks on US military facilities in Syria and Iraq - preventing casualties among roughly 200 US soldiers in Syria and 1,500 in Iraq. There's no substitute for this level of intelligence. As George Keegan, former head of US Air Force Intelligence, said: "The intelligence the US gets from Israel exceeds the output of 5 CIA agencies". ◾️ A real-world "test lab" for US defense industry: Israel serves as a critical, efficient, and unusually cost-effective battlefield testing ground for American weapon systems. Israel operates hundreds of US combat systems and provides operational lessons, maintenance insights, and repair feedback that improve the next generations of American products. These Israeli insights strengthen US competitiveness in global markets, save years and billions in R&D, increase US exports, and generate substantial revenue for the American economy. For example, Lockheed Martin has noted that Israel's operational use of the F-16 led to more than 700 upgrades - creating a financial windfall worth billions. ◾️ Weapons development: Israel's contribution to US weapons development is a strategic pillar centered on providing combat-proven technologies. This includes the integration of Israeli active protection systems like Trophy and Iron Fist onto Abrams tanks and Bradley vehicles, the production of critical F-35 components such as outer wings and advanced pilot helmets, and the joint development of missile and laser defense systems like Iron Dome and Iron Beam. ◾️ A strategic "aircraft carrier" without US troops: Israel functions as America's largest aircraft carrier that requires no US military presence, cannot be sunk, and sits in a region of enormous economic and security significance. It reduces the need for additional US carrier deployments and ground divisions - an expense that would exceed $15 billion per year. ◾️ Most US aid returns to the US: The vast majority of aid Israel receives is used to purchase weapons and logistics from American companies. That's a key part of the agreement - it ensures the money flows back into the US economy, expands the US employment base, and improves American capabilities through continuous operational feedback on American-made systems. ◾️ Military doctrine and training benefits: US military doctrine draws heavily on Israeli operational experience. US special forces and urban warfare experts train with the IDF and incorporate Israeli battlefield lessons. American pilots gain significant value from joint exercises with Israeli pilots who have deep combat experience, and they see the full potential of US-made aircraft in demanding conditions. ◾️ Nuclear and strategic capabilities: Israel is widely considered one of the most effective and sophisticated developers of strategic (including nuclear-related) capabilities - and as we all know, the US has a strong interest in strategic deterrence. ◾️ Innovation and tech leverage: Israel is the largest innovation hub outside Silicon Valley and a game-changing center for more than 200 major American tech companies that tap Israeli talent. Israel helps US tech giants stay at the frontier of AI and cybersecurity through local R&D centers and the acquisition of breakthrough startups. In practice, it acts as a force multiplier for US economic interests and expands America's strategic influence. Israel also holds unique know-how in vital domains such as medicine, agriculture, and climate. For example, Israeli water management and desalination expertise has been implemented in places like California and Arizona. Israeli medical tech often reach and scale in the US first. And many US–Israel R&D partnerships operate to strengthen both countries' resilience in the face of economic and security challenges. ------ A word to Americans: Don't believe anyone who tells you this alliance produces nothing for the US. People who repeat that line, under a banner of "patriotism", ironically want you to believe America is weak and controlled by others, rather than the world's leading power that helped end WWII, outlasted the Soviets, enabled decades of peace in Europe, and built a rights-based Western order that so many people want to immigrate to. Israel's contributions to the US didn't happen by accident - they're the result of smart, deliberate American policy over many decades, aimed at turning Israel from a burden into an asset. It's a highly successful investment, which is why it has been sustained for so long by so many different leaders. You don't have to love Israel or every decision it makes, but don't fall for a simplistic, isolationist narrative pushed by spoiled populists who have accomplished little in their own lives.

Wow

I understand why people struggle with the “modern state of Israel.” Some say it’s not the Israel of the Bible. Others say it’s just a secular political state. And yes, like any nation, it can be critiqued. I’m all for that. But here’s what should make us pause: The globe obsesses over Israel. One tiny nation.
Smaller than New Jersey.
Surrounded by hostility.
Constantly in global headlines. Zechariah 12 says Jerusalem will be a “heavy stone” for all peoples. That’s not normal geopolitics.
That’s prophetic gravity. The real question is this: Did God promise a physical regathering of the descendants of Abraham back to their land after worldwide dispersion? If the answer is yes, then what happened in 1948 demands serious biblical reflection. God called the land promise to Abraham an everlasting covenant (Genesis 17:7–8). If “everlasting” doesn’t mean everlasting, covenant language everywhere becomes unstable. And what other nation was scattered for nearly 2,000 years, preserved ethnically, revived its ancient language, and returned to its ancestral land? There is no parallel. To be clear, if the modern state of Israel is not Israel, then who is? And when exactly will Israel be back in the land? Mind you, modern Israel is apostate. That’s not a compliment, that’s the point. The coming time of Jacob’s Trouble is judgment before redemption. Judgment refines. Wrath precedes remnant. Jesus said, “You will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord’” (Matthew 23:39). Revelation 1:7 echoes Zechariah 12:10: “They will look on Him whom they pierced.” Modern Israel is not spiritually restored yet, but biblically, the physical regathering was always supposed to come before the spiritual awakening. The Israel that exists today will be the Israel God judges, and yes, a remnant of Israel will be redeemed.

Democrats issued over 5.5M illegals Social Security numbers and registered them to vote in order to steal the 2020 election and change the voting map of the United States by adding seats through the U.S. census. They also enrolled illegals in Medicaid, and qualified illegals for max Social Security benefits. Elon confirmed and warned us.

🚨The $16 TRILLION Climate Heist - The Most Massive Financial Scam in Human History? Stephen Moore just dropped a bomshell op-ed channeling Bjorn Lomborg’s ruthless takedown: Governments worldwide have torched $16 TRILLION on the climate-industrial complex over ~35 years—with ZERO temperature drop, ZERO lives saved, and massive human suffering as the real result.Here’s the electrified summary: A list of Lomborg’s Brutal Facts: ⚡️ $16+ trillion poured into green subsidies, regulations, and boondoggles since the late 1980s hysteria kicked off. ⚡️ Global temps? Not even 0.1°C cooler—alarmists quietly admit the “crisis” isn’t budging. ⚡️Not one single life saved from climate impacts. ⚡️Instead, the crusade killed countless in developing nations by blocking cheap fossil fuels, locking billions in energy poverty and preventable death. In the op/ed, Moore calls it "the mother of all opportunity-cost crimes" and he isn't wrong. ⚡️That $16T could’ve delivered clean drinking water to billions, wiped out malaria, built schools to end illiteracy across Africa, given reliable electricity to 1+ billion still in the dark, and turbocharged cancer research—saving millions of lives and generating tens of trillions in real human value. ⚡️A tiny elite of cronies, NGOs, and green-tech grifters got filthy rich on taxpayer cash—while the world’s poorest paid the price in blood and darkness. ⚡️“Perhaps the most inhumane political movement in history” — trapping people in misery under the guise of saving the planet. ⚡️We flushed $16 trillion down the toilet on a fantasy, and that's just the government subsidies - doesn't account for the tens of trillions more in misallocated capital that could have gone to productive pursuits. Now, it's all a sunk cost with zero benefit to the climate and trillions of dollars transferred into the pockets of greedy global elites. This isn’t policy—it’s grand theft humanity.

@Mark_Wilson_25 Amen. Spot on.

If Jesus was Jewish in His first coming… why do people resist Him returning as the Jewish King? Most Christians will say it easily: Jesus was Jewish. Born under the Law. Circumcised on the eighth day. Son of David. Son of Abraham. But the moment you say He returns as the Lion of Judah, ruling from Jerusalem, something tightens in the room. Suddenly people want a spiritual kingdom, a symbolic throne, a metaphorical Israel. Scripture does not. ❖ The New Testament never detaches Jesus from Israel after the resurrection Paul writes to Timothy decades after the cross: “Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David. This is my gospel.” 2 Timothy 2:8 Raised from the dead… descended from David. That is present identity, not past trivia. The resurrection did not erase His lineage. It confirmed His kingship. Christianity does not float above Israel. It is anchored in Israel’s Messiah. ❖ Heaven still identifies Him by tribal title When heaven announces His victory, the language is not abstract: “See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed.” Revelation 5:5 Not “former Lion.” Not “symbolic Judah.” Not “spiritual descendant.” The final book of the Bible uses the most Israel-specific royal titles possible. Judah. David. Covenant bloodlines. Heaven itself refuses to universalize Him into a generic spiritual figure. He is the Jewish King who saves the world. ❖ The promise to Mary was political, dynastic, and territorial The angel does not announce a vague heavenly influence: “The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.” Luke 1:32–33 David has a throne. Jacob has descendants. A kingdom implies rule. This is covenant language tied to 2 Samuel 7, tied to Israel’s monarchy, tied to promises God swore He would not revoke. If Jesus is not returning to sit on David’s throne, then Gabriel overstated the case. ❖ His return is staged around Israel on purpose The prophets describe a moment when Israel recognizes Him: “They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him…” Zechariah 12:10 And the geography is not symbolic: “On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem…” Zechariah 14:4 Not heaven. Not an abstract realm. Jerusalem. A mountain you can stand on. A city you can map. The return of Christ is anchored to the land because the covenants are anchored to the land. ❖ Universal Savior does not cancel Jewish Messiah Some fear that emphasizing His Jewish kingship shrinks Him. It does the opposite. The Bible’s claim is bigger: the Jewish Messiah is the rightful King of all nations. “The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name.” Zechariah 14:9 The road to global reign runs through promises God made to Abraham, Judah, and David. The nations are blessed through Israel’s King, not instead of Him. ❖ What people resist is not ethnicity. It is covenant continuity If Jesus returns as the Lion of Judah, then Judah still matters. If He sits on David’s throne, David’s covenant still stands. If He reigns from Jerusalem, God did not abandon His word. That unsettles systems built on replacement instead of fulfillment. But the Bible’s storyline is stubbornly consistent: the Messiah who came as a Jewish carpenter returns as a Jewish King, and in that reign the whole earth finds peace. He did not outgrow His identity. He fulfills it. And the Lion of Judah is not a footnote in the story. He is the climax of it.

This is one of the best speeches against communism and pro-Western Civilization that I’ve ever heard.., Marco Rubio is incredible here. I started to pull quotes from it, but there are too many. This is a must watch.

In the press gaggle following today's vote, I was asked to defend the Biblical case for border security and immigration enforcement. I did so, and then promised to post a longer explanation that I drafted during the Biden Administration. Here it is, and I hope it's helpful: Despite the insistence of the progressive Left, people of all religious faiths should support a strong national border—and Christians CERTAINLY should. Critics are fond of citing particular Bible verses out of context to claim that Christians and Jews are being “unfaithful” if we oppose their radical open borders agenda. It has become increasingly important for us to set this record straight. Perhaps the verse most often cited by the Left is Leviticus 19:34. Whether they know it or not, that passage happens to be from the instructions Moses delivered to the Israelites when they were on their journey through the wilderness in Sinai, before they reached their own Promised Land. The verse reads as follows: “But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.” (KJV) CONTEXT IS CRITICAL It is, of course, a central premise of Judeo-Christian teaching that strangers should be treated with kindness and hospitality. We are each called to love God first and to love our neighbors as ourselves (Deut. 6:5, Lev. 19:18, Matt. 22:36-40, KJV). However, that “Greatest Commandment” was never directed to the government, but to INDIVIDUAL believers. The Bible teaches that God ordained and created four distinct spheres of authority— (1) the individual, (2) the family, (3) the church, and (4) civil government—and each of these spheres is given different responsibilities. For example, while each INDIVIDUAL is accountable for his or her own behavior (e.g., Exodus 20), the FAMILY is commanded to “bring up children in the training and instruction of the Lord” (Eph. 6:4) and “provide for their relatives” (1 Tim. 5:8). The CHURCH is commanded to make disciples and equip people for the work of the ministry (Eph. 4:11-13), and the CIVIL GOVERNMENT is established to faithfully uphold and enforce the law so that order can be maintained in this fallen world, crime can be kept at bay, and people can live peacefully (Rom. 13, 1 Tim. 2:1-2). To be properly understood, anytime a command is given in Scripture, one must first determine to WHOM that command is directed. For example, when Jesus taught us as His followers to practice mercy and forgiveness and to “turn the other cheek” (Matt. 5:38-40, KJV), He was not giving that command to the government. To the contrary, when government officials ignore crime, they are directly VIOLATING their responsibilities before God. Indeed, the civil authorities are specifically charged to do justice, to ”bear the sword,” and to serve as “the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil” (Rom. 13:1-4, KJV). As the Bible warns: “When a crime is not punished quickly, people feel it is safe to do wrong.” (Ecc. 8:11, TLB) Read in its context, the passage in Leviticus 19 makes perfect sense. Showing love and kindness to a stranger was not a command given to civil government, but instead to individual believers. That same principle is emphasized in the New Testament. When Jesus spoke of embracing, caring, and providing for “the least of these” (E.g., Matt. 25:31-40), His instruction was given to His disciples, and not the local authorities. The Bible is clear that Christians should practice personal charity—but also insist upon the enforcement of laws (like our federal immigration statutes) so that “every person is subject to the governing authorities” and “those who resist incur judgment” (Rom. 13:1-2). BORDERS ARE BIBLICAL Many on the Left today, and even some at the highest levels of our government, consider themselves “globalists” who envision a utopian world order where there are no borders between countries at all. Their fantasy will simply never be realized, and their basic premise (that man is inherently good and perfectible on his own) is the opposite of the Biblical truth that man is fallen and in need of redemption that is available only through salvation in Jesus Christ. The Bible speaks favorably and consistently about distinct nations of people (see, e.g., Gen. 18:18, Num. 32:17, Psalm 67:2, Matt. 28:19, Rev. 5:9, 7:9, NIV), and about borders and walls that are built to guard and secure people, property, and jurisdictions (see, e.g., Deut. 19:14, 27:17, 32:8, Acts 17:26, NIV). When Nehemiah heroically led the Jewish remnant to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem after their enemies had destroyed those walls, he was doing the noble work of God (Neh. 1-6, NIV). Maintaining a secure border is not an offensive measure, but a wise, defensive one to prevent chaos and safeguard innocent life. As Rev. Franklin Graham once summarized, “Why do you lock your doors at night? Not because you hate the people on the outside, but because you love the people on the inside so much.” THE CURRENT CATASTROPHE Right now, because of 64 deliberate policy choices and executive orders of the Biden Administration, America is facing an unprecedented humanitarian and national security catastrophe at our open southern border. More than 10 million illegal aliens from around the world have entered the U.S. since Joe Biden became President, the majority of whom are single, military-aged men. Among them are countless violent criminals and more than 300 suspects on the terrorist watchlist. Cartels are making billions trafficking young women and unaccompanied minors, and many are suffering unspeakable abuses along the way. The Fentanyl that China and the cartels have pushed into the U.S. has become the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18-45. As the peril increases and communities across our country become more and more overwhelmed with the crushing financial burdens of managing the influx of illegals, American citizens (and even a few Democratic governors and mayors) are finally demanding a return to sanity. America has always been a haven for people legitimately seeking asylum from danger in their home country, but we must insist they pursue a course of legal immigration and not simply ignore our laws. Of course, the President of the United States must be the first to uphold our laws. Every citizen should insist that President Biden immediately use the eight broad statutory authorities he has right now to secure our borders and stop incentivizing illegal immigration. Among his most important executive authorities is 8 U.S.C. 1182(f), which empowers a President to “suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate” if he “finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States.” AN AUTHENTIC CHRISTIAN RESPONSE Due in large part to our Judeo-Christian foundations and the deep religious heritage we enjoy in this country, America is the most benevolent nation in the world—by far. However, we cannot maintain that strength and generosity if we surrender our own safety and sovereignty. Preserving law and order and securing our borders should not be partisan issues, but matters of common sense. These are certainly responsibilities fully authorized by the Bible—and expected of us by God. Any time liberals attempt to bolster their “open borders” agenda by citing Scripture out of context, they should be kindly corrected with the facts (2 Tim. 2:24-25). Christians are called to love unconditionally, serve selflessly, and defend the defenseless. We are also called to stand for, and work to ensure, just government. Justice and mercy are not mutually exclusive pursuits. To the contrary, God specifically requires His people to practice both (Micah 6:8). Despite the unfounded claims of the Left, supporting a strong national border is a very Christian thing to do. The Bible tells us so.

BILL MAHER just admitted what we've been screaming for years: mass illegal immigration is destroying countries! On his show he used Sweden as the prime example. He said it's how a nation can "destroy itself from within" by letting in huge waves of unchecked illegals. No assimilation. Just chaos, crime spikes, and no-go zones. Even this hardcore liberal sees it now. Sweden went from safe paradise to rape capital warnings and bombings because of open borders insanity. TRUMP warned about this forever while Maher mocked him. The tide's turning. When even Maher gets it, the left's whole narrative is crumbling. Secure the border or watch America go the way of Sweden. TRUMP was right all along!

Spectacular.,
