The release of recent scientific studies have revealed, much to the chagrin of the “global warming” alarmists, that “hundreds” of islands are actually growing in surface size, not shrinking! This scientific conclusion was based on analysis of satellite data, so it is well-sourced. If record glacial melting and other factors were really leading to a warming planet there would be measurable shrinkage of all oceanic islands. That is clearly not happening, calling into question the validity of all “global warming” claims. The first link reports that scientific surveys revealed that, lite ..read more

I will take a break from current geopolitics and focus on an ancient topic with biblical significance. This topic was just examined in the January/February issue of National Geographic History, an excellent magazine to which I subscribe. I attempted to find this article on the internet and came up blank. For that reason, I will cite small portions of text from the article. Those who are not subscribers may find this issue in a public library, and it may also be obtained for nominal cost on-line (first link). The article is entitled: Palmyra, Cosmopolitan Crossroads by Francisco ..read more

AI technologies are making a very rapid entrance into all kinds of digital systems, and it is also well on its way to a prominent military role as well. Do you think this is only in the theoretical planning phase? No…It is already happening. The first link describes a US Air Force program to fly US warplanes with AI “pilots.” An American F-16 has already been equipped with an autonomous AI “pilot,” and it is being test-flown already. The current plan is to construct a force of six F-16s which will have AI piloting systems. The first prototype is already flying and the second link describes and ..read more

A few days ago, I posted a warning that an Iranian attack upon Israel was likely imminent. A day later, the Iranian attack occurred, and it was much larger than anyone expected it would be. News sources report varying totals but the estimates conclude that Iran fired 320-370 ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and “suicide” drones at Israeli targets. Specific estimates assert that Iran fired somewhat over 100 ballistic missiles in that total–a very large number, indeed! The first link shows one Iranian ballistic missile which was shot down with a 36-foot section of it still intact. Were all 10 ..read more

There is a consensus growing among many analysts cited in media accounts that an Iranian strike against Israel is imminent. On the surface, it will be a retaliation for Israeli airstrikes on Iranian generals who were killed in Syrian and Lebanese locations. It is possible that the Iranians may also strike at American interests, but that would raise the stakes considerably of a much wider war. The first three links (1, 2, 3) discuss some of the arguments indicating how imminent an Iranian military strike is and how widespread it may be. Iran is in a bind. It wants to retaliate hard enough to ..read more

Over the decades of my writing and speaking career, I have written or given what seem like countless blogs, articles, audio messages, etc. Of all the items that I have written or given as live messages to audiences, there is one which overwhelmingly has proven to be the favorite in the responses that I have received. It is an audio message entitled “How Many Will God Save?” This message focuses on existential questions many Christians have stated or held but are reluctant to discuss in open conversation. Many have wondered “Can God save me?”, “Have I committed the unpardonable sin?”, etc. Oth ..read more

Like me, you are likely wondering how could that disaster occur which saw a huge container ship ram into and destroy the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore? Obviously, large shipping vessels and container ships have been safely going under that bridge with no problems for many, many years. What specifically was different about this merchant ship’s attempt to leave Baltimore’s port facility and enter the Atlantic Ocean? What could cause such a colossal failure? This post will list some of the unanswered questions concerning this tragic and very costly incident and offer some thoughts on who ..read more

Amidst the plethora of major geopolitical events taking place–many of which have a biblical prophetic context–there are some other developments which also deserve to be noted. This post is devoted to discoveries with biblical connections found in an archaeological site in Jerusalem. I think everyone should know about them so I wanted to take this chance to inform readers of my blog about these discoveries.  Over the decades, various inscriptions and evidence found on a variety of artifacts have verified that many ancient people named in the Bible really did exist. The first link is an ear ..read more

Have you ever been in a discussion with some friends and, while discussing the decay of Western Civilization, endless wars and suffering around the world, someone says “When will God do something about it?” I certainly have heard people say words to that effect or write them in emails. I can well understand this sentiment. As the negative trends accelerate globally, that sentiment is surely growing among believers. This post is intended to encourage people who have that viewpoint, and to show them the same viewpoint was held by many people recorded in biblical narratives. God will eventua ..read more

Usually, I do not post about domestic political developments, but this time I am making an exception to do so as the recent “Super Tuesday” primaries reveal some very interesting trends the establishment doesn’t want to talk about. Obviously, Donald Trump and Joe Biden were the overwhelming winners in each party’s primaries, an outcome widely expected. The delegates awarded in the Super Tuesday primaries make it all but certain Biden and Trump will be the party nominees in the presidential election in November. However, when you look at the internal voting totals in a state-by-state basis, som ..read more
