There are two main schools of thought regarding life and death. In the religious sphere, there are variations of the immortal soul doctrine, which teaches that the dead are not really dead. Outside of religion, there is the idea that ignores God and assumes that death is the end. Both of these ideas are false. On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, we discuss what the Bible says happens after death, and we explain the inspiring plan that God has in store for every person who has ever lived.

Prophecy speaks of a utopian world on the horizon. But before it gets here, conditions on the planet will deteriorate as men fight and war, struggling with the curses God sends their way. His Church is charged with sharing this prophecy with the world. Hydrogen bomb explosions and natural disasters should actually sharpen our focus on how best to give to this world and what will have the most dramatic impact.

A lightning strike ignited a wildfire last Sunday that caused the main road to the Burning Man festival to be closed down. Revellers, eager to begin their festival, dismissed the fire as a mere coincidence. What goes on at this festival is abominable. Yet tens of thousands of people journey out to the middle of the desert every year to engage in gross acts of immorality. The ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were just as proud of their rebellion against God’s law—God razed those two cities with fire from heaven. God does not respond lightly to rebellion. God says He is going to punish the nations of America and Britain specifically for their rebellion against His law. On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, we discuss how God responds to people who celebrate sin.

Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg is back in German politics! KT made his first major political speech last night in Germany since his resignation from politics in 2011 over a plagiarism scandal. The Trumpet has been watching Guttenberg as a potential leader in Germany for more than 10 years now. After his departure from the political scene, we told our followers to continue watching this man. On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, Stephen Flurry and Brad Macdonald discuss KT’s astonishing comeback and his rock-star level popularity in Germany.

National disasters usually provide an opportunity for people to put differences aside and pull together. Hurricane Harvey has provided that opportunity, and many people in Houston and around America are working together to help out. But how long will the unity last? Already, America’s major media has started politicizing the disaster in Houston. The waters haven’t even receded, and the media is back to business as usual. The division in America is getting deeper, and Bible prophecy says it will result in the downfall of America. On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, we discuss the impact Hurricane Harvey is having on a divided America.

Man-made climate change is the culprit for the intensity of flooding in Houston right now—if we are to believe the mainstream media. Is this true? Are human beings responsible for causing storms and so-called “natural” disasters? Or is this a convenient way to push God out of the picture? So many people are suffering in Southeast Texas due to the extreme flooding. Many people are asking, “Where is God when these disasters strike?” The Bible teaches that God uses the weather to get people’s attention—to correct them for breaking His laws. On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, we explain the real cause for the extreme weather we’re seeing today.

Parts of Houston, America’s fourth-largest city, are underwater as the city continues to take a beating from a storm some are calling a “one-in-a-thousand-years type of event.” Hurricane Harvey has poured over 9 trillion gallons of water on Houston, with an expected 10 trillion more to come. The sudden flooding has first responders overwhelmed and citizens in a panic. Hurricane Harvey is the latest in a series of “unprecedented” natural disasters that have wreaked incredible havoc and death. Many people wonder why, if there is a God, He would allow people to suffer from disasters like Hurricane Harvey. On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, we explain why God allows “natural” disasters.

College students fixated on safe spaces and cultural appropriation have taken over university campuses across America and Britain. “The trouble,” Brendan O’Neill wrote in his latest Spectator piece, “is that the ‘safe space’ mentality doesn’t stay contained on campus.” What happens when hypersensitive, self-absorbed pupils are exposed to a different school of thought? They respond the same way any tyrant would to an uprising—with force. How did the university campus get to this point? And what is the solution? On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, we discuss the state of the college campus as well as other news from around the world.

Dutch police announced today that they had stopped yet another terrorist attack—this time at a rock concert in Rotterdam. In Spain, Twitter users were sharing pictures of kittens so that people wouldn’t have to see the dead bodies on the streets of Barcelona. But refusing to face reality is not a solution.

Elsewhere though there are signs of a shift in Europe. The terrorist attacks in Europe will keep getting worse until there is a response. TheTrumpet.com assistant managing editor Richard Palmer examines where this is leading and what this response will look like.

Also on today’s program, we discuss Anne Applebaum’s statement, “Germany must abandon its military reluctance and lead,” and why Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg is listed as the third-most likely individual to be Germany’s next chancellor.

America’s radical left is carrying out an assault on the nation’s history. Its adherents are destroying statues of figures that make them feel uncomfortable, erasing events from textbooks that don’t fit their agenda, and physically attacking anyone who disagrees with them. They are obsessed with declaring their version of history, while they ignore the true and documented historical context and every other piece of evidence that doesn’t support their version of past events. On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, we ask how people so obsessed with the past actually know so little about history.
