#472: The World Crisis Has Already Started
Trends around the globe are leading to the fulfillment of dramatic Bible prophecies. From the rising Russia-China alliance to Europe’s rearmament, all signs are pointing to war. Even puny North Korea is grabbing headlines around the world with threats of nuclear war. The world is on notice. World War II ended with nuclear bombs. What will a war that starts with nuclear weapons look like? On today’s program, we run through major news stories over the past week and explain where we are in fulfillment of Bible prophecy.
#471: Germany’s Arrogance Problem
“One country’s moral evangelism is the rest of the world’s intolerable smugness,” an opinion writer for Foreign Policy wrote this week. Germany believes that it alone knows best. After World War II, Germany—Western Germany, in particular—was humbled and subordinate to Western alliances. But Germany today is shunning that postwar posture. Where is this leading? Find out on today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.
#470: Son of Nazi War Criminal: Don’t Trust Germany
Hans Frank was the Nazi governor-general of occupied Poland during World War II. He is responsible for the deaths of millions of people. His son, Niklas Frank, despises what his father did. Today, he travels around Germany giving speeches about his notorious father and the shameful legacy of Nazi Germany. In a recent interview with the BBC, he warned the world about placing its trust in Germany. There is still something in the German people, Niklas said, that “makes me fear them.” On today’s program, we examine the unique insights of one of Germany’s own—and review what Bible prophecy says about Germany and the last resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire.
#469: The 4-Minute Prayer ‘Challenge’
Many people believe they are religious, but few actually take the time to learn what it is that makes one a Christian. A recent study found that while many Americans are fond of the Bible, few of them actually study it. It’s the same with prayer. One Christian website recently “challenged” its followers to pray 4 minutes each day for four weeks! What does God have to say about Bible study and prayer? Listen to today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show to understand what it really means to put God first in our lives.
#468: Why the Long Decay of the U.S. Military Will Persist
On the campaign trail, Donald Trump promised that, if elected, he would reverse the decay of the United States military. After just three months in office, President Trump’s administration is realizing this is a task easier said than done. U.S. military equipment has been decaying over the past three decades, and it is falling behind in technical capabilities to nations like Russia and China. Simply undoing Barack Obama’s military budget cuts alone is likely to be an insurmountable task. Is the U.S. military beyond repair? On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show we examine how America’s military got to this point and why Bible prophecy says it’s not going to be fixed.
#467: America Once Fed the World—Now It’s Being Overtaken by ‘New Powers’
The United States was the leading food producer of the world for decades. Just 30 years ago, American soybean exports made up 70 percent of the world’s supply. That number has fallen to 40 percent, putting the U.S. behind Brazil. It’s the same with wheat and corn, where Russia has been increasing its output substantially while America’s continues to dwindle. Bible prophecy explains why America is losing its status as the world’s greatest food producer. To find out why, listen to today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.
#466: Will the Latest Attack on Paris Influence the Outcome of Sunday’s Election?
An Islamist terrorist armed with a Kalashnikov rifle opened fire yesterday on one of Paris’s busiest streets. He killed a police officer and wounded two others. With French presidential elections just days away, we examine how this latest attack will impact the election and what it means in broader terms for the future of the European Union.
#465: NYT Takes Down Bill O’Reilly and Props Up Marwan Barghouti
Earlier this month, the New York Times ran an exposé on Fox News host Bill O’Reilly’s alleged history of sexual harassment. The article resurrected settled disputes and ran unverified information. This week, 21st Century Fox dismissed O’Reilly over the controversy. While we don’t know all the facts about what happened at Fox, it’s safe to say the New York Times effectively helped bring O’Reilly down. A couple weeks after launching the assault on O’Reilly, the New York Times casually posted an op-ed from Marwan Barghouti. According the Times’s byline, Barghouti is “a Palestinian leader and parliamentarian.” It failed to mention he is a convicted terrorist who is imprisoned on five counts of murder, and has orchestrated the killings of hundreds of Israelis. On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, we discuss how the New York Times fiasco is another symptom of a backward and biased media.
#464: The Invisible Superpower and the World’s Most Dangerous Rogue State
On the campaign trail, Donald Trump called the Iran nuclear deal disastrous and catastrophic. He said one of his top priorities if he became president would be to dismantle the agreement. This week, however, his administration was happy to announce that Iran was complying with the terms of the agreement. President Trump’s administration has come out strong against North Korea and Syria, but hasn’t moved beyond pinprick sanctions when it comes to confronting Iran. On today’s program we discuss why Iran is the rogue state we should be concerned about the most.
#463: Turkey’s Constitution: Change at the Crossroads of the World
Turks voted to change their country’s constitution on Sunday, according to official election results. The vote is described as the death of Turkish democracy and the end of Turkey’s period as a secular state. What is behind these massive changes in Turkey? And where are they leading? Turkey sits at the crossroads of the world; events there have a profound impact on the Middle East, Asia and Europe. Trumpet contributing editor Richard Palmer examines what the future holds for Turkey—and how it will affect you.
