Tensions between Iran and the US have escalated since Donald Trump took office in the White House. The Trump administration has pulled out from the Iran nuclear deal, re-imposed sanctions on Tehran, listed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organisation, and deployed extra military forces to the region. Rabbi Winston has discovered that an 800-year-old collection of Biblical texts, titled Yalkut Shimoni, about a conflict that could “destroy the entire world” is similar to the ongoing standoff between Iran on the one side, and the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia on the other. He told Breaking Israel News that there are “ancient conflicts coming full circle” and pointed out that the notion of Iran being the arch-enemy of Israel and the US was unimaginable just several decades ago, so the corresponding prophecies confused people…

As the US administration prepares to roll out its long-awaited plan for peace in the Middle East, also known as the “deal of the century,” there are indications of growing instability and consternation in Jordan. Facing increased demands for major political and economic reforms in the kingdom, King Abdullah II seems to be worried that the kingdom will pay a heavy price whether it accepts or rejects the deal. The monarch’s biggest fear, political analysts say, is that the plan would require Jordan to absorb millions of Palestinians who are already living in the kingdom. King Abdullah II is also worried that the plan would end the Hashemites’ historic custodianship over the holy sites in Jerusalem (including the Temple Mount as described in Tom Horn’s new best-selling book The Rabbis, Donald Trump, and the Top Secret Plan to Build the Third Temple) in favor of other Arab and Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia and Morocco…
The U.S. ambassador to Israel said this week that Israel is “on the side of God.” Ambassador David M. Friedman was speaking at an evangelical group event that marked the anniversary of Jerusalem becoming a U.S. embassy. He told attendees that the relationship between the U.S. and Israel was getting “stronger and stronger and stronger.” “And the second (reason) is that Israel has one secret weapon that not too many countries have,” he said. “Israel is on the side of God, and we don’t underestimate that.”
The vice president spoke of recent assaults on religious believers around the world – including attacks on the most fundamental of American rights here at home. He explained that “throughout most of American history, it’s been pretty easy to call yourself Christian. It didn’t even occur to people that you might be shunned or ridiculed for defending the teachings of the Bible. But things are different now. Some of the loudest voices for tolerance today have little tolerance for traditional Christian beliefs.” Pence’s remarks raise the question: What must Americans do to stem this tide of bigotry?
New polling in the U.S. reveals an all-time high of those who identify as religious “nones,” individuals who claim no allegiance to any faith. Many of the “nones” are part of a growing group of Americans who declare they are “spiritual but not religious.” And many in this group fall into the millennial age group or younger and claim to have had negative experiences with “organized religion” in the past and wrote off church because of it. According to Barna research, that group makes up 11% of the population, and of those, even the ones who claim a faith of some kind, 93% do not attend religious services…
If Donald Trump’s election could evoke Madonna’s expressed desire to blow up the White House … and the hearings for Brett Kavanaugh induce women to scream and pound at the Senate’s doors – what will the overturning of Roe v. Wade bring about? A civil war is coming to America, only this time, it will be abortion, rather than slavery, that divides the nation. And while I hope will all my heart that it will not be a physically violent war, the ideological conflict will certainly be violent and intense.
At the end of 2017, The New York Times broke the story of a secretive Pentagon program with a budget of $22 million to investigate UFOs called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP). The man who exposed the existence of the program, Luis Elizondo, was the former head of the project. Elizondo’s ongoing efforts to investigate the UFO mystery with his new employer, the To the Stars Academy (TTSA), will be featured in a History Channel series premiering May 31 called Unidentified: Inside America’s UFO Investigation. However, what The New York Times apparently did not know when they published their story is that the program went by a different name at its inception, and the scope of the program was much broader than just UFOs. In fact, according to a senior manager on the project, the investigations included “bizarre creatures, poltergeist activity, invisible entities, orbs of light, animal and human injuries and much more.”
Air pollution may be damaging every organ and virtually every cell in the human body, according to a comprehensive new global review. The research shows head-to-toe harm, from heart and lung disease to diabetes and dementia, and from liver problems and bladder cancer to brittle bones and damaged skin. Fertility, foetuses and children are also affected by toxic air, the review found. The systemic damage is the result of pollutants causing inflammation that then floods through the body and ultrafine particles being carried around the body by the bloodstream…
At a time when new technology such as gene editing offers unprecedented control over our own biology, the latest wave of medical advances, including powerful DNA-editing technology like CRISPR/Cas9, is a source of excitement and optimism. But gene editing technologies are not without controversy – from ethics to whether it will become a plaything of the super-rich…
I have decided to share my journey through the journey that my friend Shelley Neese has written about in her great book, The Copper Scroll Project: An Ancient Secret Fuels The Battle for The Temple Mount. I’m doing this because I want to share my excitement about the story Shelley relates and encourage everyone to read the book. But even more so, I am doing this because this is such important information to our faith and to its Hebrew origins…
