“Make America great again” has been a popular slogan used during this year’s election season in the United States. Most use that slogan with the future in mind—thinking what they can do to make America great. However, very few people stop to ask: What made America great in the first place? The Bible is not silent on this subject. It actually tells the story of America’s ancestry—and its modern prophetic identity. As Herbert W. Armstrong wrote in The United States and Britain in Prophecy, this is the most fascinating and interesting story ever told! On today’s show, Stephen Flurry explains the source of America’s greatness.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton: These are the two candidates Americans will have to choose from when they go to vote for their president this fall. The choice is indicative of the sad state America is entering into. Both candidates and their followers think they are the solution that will make America great. In Dennis Prager’s latest article, he wrote that Trump and Clinton “are two reasons—of many, unfortunately—why, other than the first years of the Civil War, when the survival of the United States as one country was in jeopardy, there has never been a darker time in American history.” On today’s show, Stephen Flurry explains why America is falling so quickly and what it will take for America to really be great again.

Western society views old age as a time to give up on learning new things. True Christians must be careful to avoid letting that myth affect them. There is never a time to stop growing spiritually. Christ said we must endure to the end and keep growing—especially late in life. With age, it can seem more appealing to take the easy road and get lazy when it comes to developing new habits. How can seniors avoid falling into this slump? What is the key to promoting continual growth? On today’s show, Stephen Flurry provides practical advice for seniors to help them continue growing during the later years.

A socialist revolution is sweeping America’s young people. Democratic party candidate Bernie Sanders is the most popular politician among America’s young people. But do America’s college students really understand what socialism is? Can they even define it? Socialism is leading to the economic breakdown of America just as it has in Puerto Rico because it is contrary to God’s economic laws. Listen to the latest edition of the Trumpet Daily Radio Show to learn why God is not a socialist—or a capitalist.

Russia, China and others are developing high-tech weapons, against which the United States currently has no defense. Meanwhile America has spent decades encouraging Europe to create a superstate—a power that will soon prove a major rival to the U.S. On today’s program, Trumpet staff writer Richard Palmer discusses the dangerous blind spot America has went it comes to judging potential threats.

Many people are aware of the Passover, although few truly understand the meaning of that day and what it pictures. An even smaller number of people are aware of the days that come after the Passover: the Days of Unleavened Bread. These days represent the next step in God’s plan of salvation for mankind—coming out of sin. God makes His plan easy for us to see in His holy days, yet so few keep them today. On today’s show, Stephen Flurry explains the meaning of the Days of Unleavened Bread.

Many people are looking to this year’s United States presidential election as a huge turning point for the nation. On the Republican side, last night Donald Trump took a big step toward winning his party’s nomination in July. But is Donald Trump really the solution to America’s many problems? In many ways, his political views are very similar to politicians on the left. The Bible shows that neither party will fix the family breakdown—or prevent America from further decline. To hear more on this topic, be sure to listen to the latest Trumpet Daily Radio Show.

Britain’s relationship with the United States is fracturing and it may not be long before Britain finds itself alone on the world stage. In his speeches over the past week, U.S. President Barack Obama made it clear that the U.S. is more concerned about developing relations with Europe than it is about preserving its special relationship with Britain. Bible prophecy reveals that Britain will not be a part of the European power bloc. What will Europe look like without Britain? And is it smart for the U.S. to encourage Europe to take on a greater leadership role? Find the answers on today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.

One of the first pieces to go when United States President Barack Obama entered the Oval Office in 2009 was a bust of Winston Churchill. The decision sparked controversy between the United States and United Kingdom. Some thought it was a snub and a signal of the end of the special relationship between the two nations. At the time, the White House was firm in saying the return of the bust to the UK was just a matter of course and wasn’t something the president or his administration chose to do. During a press conference last week, however, President Obama revealed that he was the one who decided to remove the bust. His comment, along with other threatening remarks, signals a growing rift between the two nations. Where does Bible prophecy say this fracturing relationship is leading? Listen to the latest Trumpet Daily Radio Show to find out.

The Bible records real events that happened to real people—none more important than what happened to Jesus Christ on His final night as a human. In today’s program, Herbert W. Armstrong College history instructor Brent Nagtegaal looks at the events of the Passover in light of the political situation of Judea.
