This Week In The News
Current Events
by Norbert Link
We begin with disturbing news from Denmark and continue with a pitiful decision by the European Court of Human Rights refusing to condemn Covid restrictions (please view in this regard our new StandingWatch program, “When Will Governments Be Held Accountable For Their Corona Measures?”).
We speak on Spain’s suggestion to use nuclear weapons against Israel; the “political persecution” of Brazil’s former President; and the recent school shooting in Colorado and the murder of Charlie Kirk. We also publish a disturbing analysis of prior and current political assassinations in America.
We point out Russia’s attack on Poland and NATO’s “response”; escalations between the USA and Venezuela; Trump’s visit to the UK: and we conclude with an article showing financial consequences if the US Supreme Court were to determine that many of Trump’s tariffs are illegal, as well as a shocking article about AI.
Throughout this section, we have underlined pertinent statements in the quoted articles, for the convenience and quick overview of the reader.

We state the following in our Q&A, titled, “Were There ‘Christians’ in Old Testament Times?”:
“We know that Old Testament followers of God will be in the Kingdom of God… we find a rather long list of God’s Old Testament servants in the 11th chapter of the book of Hebrews. The list includes people like Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Rahab, Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets. Verses 39-40 explicitly state: ‘And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise [of eternal life and of entering the Kingdom of God], God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect APART FROM us.’”
