After grudgingly signing the bi-partisan congressional “deal,” which gave him only a fraction of the desired funds for building a wall or barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border, President Trump also declared a national emergency with the intent to reallocate funds to finance the building of the wall. While legal scholars and politicians question the constitutionally of such a move, others point at the laws, arguably allowing him to relocate funds in certain respects. On February 15, President Trump explained in detail his rationale for his national emergency declaration and the reallocation of funds. What will happen next?

Persecutions of Homosexuals and Conversion Therapies
US Ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell, wrote a condemnatory article in the mass publication, “Bild,” on Iran’s practices of persecuting homosexuals; and “Handelsblatt” attacked countries which still allow “gay cures” and “conversion therapies.” What is behind this reignited discussion, and what does God have to say about it? At the end of this program, we offer a free booklet about God’s teachings on sexual relationships.
Is the Prophesied Big Earthquake in Israel Going to Hit?
Scientists predict that a huge earthquake is about to hit Israel. They estimate that in the case of a 7.5 magnitude earthquake, an estimated 7,000 people will be killed. The Bible tells us that such an earthquake will occur when Jesus Christ returns to set up the government of God on this earth. This is no coincidence. God is letting us know the signs of these end times.
The End of the British Empire… Time to Let Britain Go!
Recent events have thrown Britain into “the deepest political crisis in half a century.” Europeans are now convinced that the inevitable Brexit will prove to be the “greatest disaster” for the UK, and they have concluded that it is time for the EU to let Britain go, as the “proud United Kingdom” has reached its end. At the same time, Europe is engaged in building a powerful army. Why are these events connected and of critical importance in the light of biblical prophecy?
Governmental Attacks on Jews and Christians in Europe
Anti-Semitism is increasing in Europe, and with it governmental attacks on Jews and minority Christians, including in countries where you might or might not expect it, such as Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Austria and Germany. This program gives you examples of blatant discrimination and persecution which will only get worse in the future.
How America Is Destroying Itself… Terrible Consequences of the Shutdown
Was Abraham Lincoln right when he prophesied that America would destroy itself? Sadly, the crazy government shutdown gives us a foretaste of what is going to happen. Millions upon millions of people are already affected, and it will get much worse, as this program shows. The Bible condemns very strongly what is happening, but most people are sound asleep.
2019 in Prophecy!
What will 2019 bring? This program sets forth some of the events which newscasters expect to occur, and compares them with biblical prophecy, covering such diverse topics as new challenges for Europe; the desire to build a European army in light of American unreliability and threats from Russia; the power vacuum in the Middle East; Russia’s threats towards Israel; the lack of leadership in Germany; the Brexit; the disastrous stock market and the fragile American economy.
Europe’s Response to Withdrawal of US Troops from Syria
President Trump’s unilateral decision to withdraw all troops from Syria, combined with the resulting resignation of Defense Secretary General James Mattis, have placed a worried Europe on notice that the USA is, in their mind, a completely unreliable “partner.” Facing perceived threats from an expanding nuclear Russia and considering President Trump’s “unpredictable” and “chaotic” decisions, the EU feels compelled to create a unified army as soon as possible.
Does God Bless Our Christmas Celebrations?
Ninety percent of Americans celebrate Christmas, but only a slight majority observe it as a religious holiday. Many who keep Christmas do not even believe in the virgin birth. In many countries, a demonic creature is celebrated around this time of year, which has become popular in the USA as well. Did you know that Christmas was not an official holiday in the USA until after the Civil War? Why is there so much anxiety, grief, depression, increase of heart attacks and alcoholism associated with Christmas? And why do we, as a Christian nation, willfully lie to our children about it and become upset with those who tell the Truth?
USA and EU on Collision Course
Germany has a new leader for Angela Merkel’s party (the CDU). Her course towards Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump will be tougher. She advocates helping Ukraine militarily against Russia, and she wants to reintroduce the draft in Germany. However, most Americans and Brits show a “worrying lack of knowledge or interest” in history and what is happening now, being totally oblivious to the signs of the time. Europe is anxious to replace trade transactions in US dollars with the euro, and Washington’s patience with European “obstructionism” in high-stakes trade negotiations is wearing thin, being willing to do “whatever it takes” to protect American interests. Where will all of this end?
