When Churches Dismiss Bible Prophecy… They Do So To Their Own Detriment
Although prophecy constitutes almost one-third of the Bible, its importance is constantly downplayed by those who dismiss it as having no practical significance or by those who object to it on the grounds that it is a “fad” that takes people’s eyes off Jesus. Such cavalier dismissals of Bible prophecy fly in the face of scriptures like Revelation 19:10 which says that “the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” Thus, if prophecy is properly taught, there is no reason for it to divert anyone’s attention away from Jesus. In fact, it should serve to emphasize the centrality of Jesus.

A Great Awakening: Israel’s Next Generation
I couldn’t help but notice that the vast majority of Christians who support Israel are older. I asked the group’s pastor about the younger generation of American Christians. “Will they also support Israel?” With a pained expression, he said, “We’re not confident that America will make it, that America will be there in the end. We’re a country that no longer loves the Bible and God’s word. There are no guarantees.” America is suffering from a “falling away” crisis of epic proportions, … Perhaps that day is coming sooner than we think.

Iran used its new Kheiber Shekan medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) for the first time Monday when it struck what it claimed was a “terrorist facility” in Syria’s Idlib province.

Polio vaccines introduced RSV into populations and now Pfizer’s RSV vaccines carry health risks

Since August last year, regulators in Western countries have approved Pfizer’s RSV vaccine for use in pregnant mothers that increases the risk of pre-term birth, which carries risks of short and long-term health complications for the baby.”
