Events in Syria and North Korea have led many, over the past few days, to Google “World War III.” Many people see what is happening and are worried that World War III is beginning. This is a legitimate fear. In today’s program, guest presenter Brad Macdonald provides a summary of the events Bible prophecy says will trigger World War III.

On Sunday, the Islamic State came within a whisker of blowing up the pope—not the more famous one, but Pope Tawadros II, leader of the Coptic Christians. The Islamic State is launching the most provocative attacks that it can in order to trigger a holy war. That means Christians in the Middle East, North Africa and beyond are under attack. Trumpet contributing editor Richard Palmer reviews radical Islam’s efforts to trigger a crusade—and examines why the Catholic Church will benefit from such a fight.

Last night, the United States fired dozens of Tomahawk cruise missiles at an air base in western Syria. The U.S. air strike was President Trump’s response to the Syrian government’s suspected use of banned chemical weapons earlier this week. When the dust settles from this strike, will the status quo hold for a bit longer in this war-torn region? Or is this the beginning of a prophesied dramatic realignment of Middle East actors?

On Tuesday, Syrian President Bashar Assad used chemical weapons against his own people. Around 80 people died, many foaming at the mouth and writhing with muscle spasms—the symptoms of sarin nerve gas. Assad was supposed to have given up all his chemical weapons; clearly he has not. America’s decision to allow Russia to oversee the dismantling of Syria’s chemical weapons has failed, like so many of the previous administration’s Middle Eastern peace initiatives. And once again, Assad is gassing his own people. Trumpet contributing editor Richard Palmer examines this abject failure. He also discusses how a change in course by the Trumpet administration could bring a longtime Trumpet forecast to completion. Also on today’s program, Donald Trump’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping and the long-term fate of U.S.-China relations.

Britain’s Royal Navy is “being cut to the bone,” Con Coughlin wrote this week. Now 73 years on from D-Day, the greatest amphibious landing in history, many experts question if Britain’s Navy will ever again be capable of even making an amphibious landing. The great defenders of the free world, chiefly Britain and America, are no longer able or willing to pay the price to defend freedom. On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, we look back at the enormous sacrifice thousands of young men paid on D-Day, and then examine how the freedoms they fought for are in jeopardy today.

It’s easy to hear the truth. God, however, says it’s not enough to just hear His Word—we have to act on it. “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves,” the Apostle James wrote. Hearing and not doing is one major way people deceive themselves. On this episode of the Trumpet Daily Radio Show, Stephen Flurry discusses how we can become doers of the Word and not hearers only.

What is Jesus Christ doing right now? The vast majority of traditional Christianity cannot answer this question. Or if they do, their answer isn’t based on the Bible. On this episode of the Trumpet Daily Radio Show, we explain Christ’s role as our Intercessor.

A new movie about Winston Churchill will be released before the anniversary of the D-Day invasion on June 6. One famous Churchill historian wrote that the movie depicts Churchill as a “petulant, ill-tempered, sarcastic, unpleasant, decrepit, oafish drunken has-been.” The movie is riddled with historical inaccuracies that undermine and degrade the legacy of one of Britain’s greatest leaders. On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, we conduct our first-ever movie review in order to uphold the reputation of the greatest Briton of all time.

The two-year-long divorce proceedings between Britain and the European Union kicked off yesterday. The process will be messy, expensive and fraught with tension, as Brussels will likely make an example out of the United Kingdom to discourage other member nations from also wanting to go it alone. Herbert W. Armstrong forecast back in 1956 that Britain’s relationship with Europe would end this way, well before they joined the Union in 1973. On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, we look back at Britain’s strenuous 44-year-long marriage with Europe and discuss what you can expect now that they are parting ways.

If you have a simple, single focus in life and you follow through and act on that focus, then your life will be full of light. You will see where you are going. The ability to focus is the difference between success and failure. On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, we discuss how to develop a proper focus and where it should be directed.
