#543: North Korea and the Coming Nuclear War
North Korea appears more emboldened than ever, and, due to years of failed American foreign policy, it is closer than ever to possessing the weapons to finally put some bite behind its bark. Most recently, North Korea has threatened to attack the United States territory of Guam. President Donald Trump said an attack on the United States would be met with “fire and the fury like the world has never seen.” The threat of nuclear war is real, and the war drums are beating louder and louder. Bible prophecy says World War III is coming and that it will be triggered by nuclear weapons. Listen to today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show for more on what the Bible says about how the next world war will begin.
#542: Turkey at the Crossroads
Turkey is going through a massive transformation. Its role in the world, its allies, even its identity are all up for grabs.
During the 20th century, Turkey was a secular-orientated Western state. Now it is becoming more Islamic at the same time as it is preparing to project power beyond its borders. Turkey is opening and expanding military bases, modernizing its military, and building an aircraft career. Its expansion is spurring some to talk about a return of the Ottoman Empire.

#539: Snapchat, Smartphones and the Closing of the Teenage Mind
Teens are zoning out of the world and zeroing in on their smart phones. That’s the subject of Jean Twenge’s latest piece for the Atlantic titled “Have Smartphones Destroyed a Generation?” She noted that while teenagers are engaging in less risky behavior like drugs, sex and crime, the rate of depression and suicide are still climbing. “There’s not a single exception. All screen activities are linked to less happiness, and all nonscreen activities are linked to more happiness,” she wrote. On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, we discuss the root cause of this troubling trend and explain God’s solution to the problem.

TheTrumpet.com's assistant managing editor Richard Palmer examines the real solution to Britain’s crime problems.

#536: The Herald of a Peaceful World Tomorrow
The daily news reminds that we are not living in a godly civilization. Many people are trying to forge this present world into a utopia—but their efforts will always fall short. Why? People try to answer that question, but there is only one source that provides the answer—the Holy Bible. The Bible says we are living in Satan’s world; the evidence of this fact is abundant. But the Bible also tells us that a new, peaceful civilization is on its way. On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, we look at the big stories today and explain why only the return of Jesus Christ can solve these colossal problems.
#535: Does the West Have the Will to Survive?
U.S. President Donald Trump recently said, “The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has the will to survive.” He asked, “Do we have the confidence in our values to defend them at any cost?” These are excellent questions. Looking at how much contempt there is within the West—particularly America and Britain—for the values that built our nations, it is difficult to see us defending them. On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, Trumpet managing editor Joel Hilliker examines the dangers in a society coming to hate itself as much as its enemies do.
#534: The Ambassadors of Peace
The leaders of this world are failing to solve, or even identify, the real problems of our age. Left-leaning leaders are sounding alarm bells over nonissues like climate change, while their opponents bicker among themselves and fail to stand up for traditional values. Humanity is failing to achieve peace. But God expects those who know His truth to behave differently—to be ambassadors for His way of life. On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, we explain why only God can solve the problems of this world.
