We report on numerous threats and actions by Donald Trump and Elon Musk. We also speak on a terror attack in Magdeburg, Germany.
We continue with Switzerland’s disastrous decision to deny parents’ rights; Israel’s fight with Turkey over Syria and Poland’s abominable announcement to arrest Netanyahu if he were to attend the Auschwitz memorial; as well as its mandatory weapons training programs for children.
We give an example of the despicable cruelty of man towards animals; and address the ancient Yule festival and sunrise celebrations which all sound like Christmas observances.
We conclude with an article about illusionist Uri Geller’s comments on Christ’s and his powers.

From the Past to the Future
God tells us in Isaiah 43:18-19 (New International Version) to “forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” This shows us that we should not dwell or linger over or spend time thinking about the past (except for the purpose of not repeating past mistakes) because God is always working something new for us, and providing for us the path which affects our future.
God has predestined us, called us before time began for a specific purpose (Romans 8:28-30). Even though this refers to the past, it still alludes to what is present and what will come in the future.

Who built the first temple and why? What happened to this temple and what became of it? And finally, why should the third temple be a requirement for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ?
We can predict one thing with certainty: YES, this third temple is a requirement for Jesus Christ to even initiate His Second Coming! All of this is prophesied in the Bible, the Word of God; including the fact that there MUST be a third temple!
Some believe that the prophecy for the third temple is not about a physical temple made of stones, but only about a spiritual, inward temple. They link this to Paul’s statement in 1 Corinthians 3:16-17, where he says, “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.” (Compare also 2 Corinthians 6:16; 1 Corinthians 6:19.)
