Trump’s Gaza Peace Breakthrough: A Warning When They Say Peace and Safety
By PNW Staff - https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=10328#google_vignette
President Donald Trump has now used one of the Bible’s most prophetically charged phrases twice in connection with his efforts to reshape the Middle East.
After announcing a preliminary agreement with Iran in June, Trump wrote, “This Great Deal will bring Peace and Security to the whole Region.” Regional hostilities subsequently resumed, demonstrating how quickly sweeping declarations of peace can outrun events on the ground.
Now Trump has announced what he calls a historic agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas and every other armed group in Gaza.
“This is a monumental step toward lasting PEACE and SECURITY,” Trump declared.
For students of Bible prophecy, those words immediately recall the warning of 1 Thessalonians 5:3:
“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them.”
If Iran Was Weaponizing Smallpox and Other Deadly Pathogens 23 Years Ago, How Much More Advanced Is Their Program Today?
by Michael Snyder - https://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/if-iran-was-weaponizing-smallpox-and-other-deadly-pathogens-23-years-ago-how-much-more-advanced-is-their-program-today/#google_vignette
I am going to share some information with you in this article that nobody is talking about, but I believe that it is exceedingly important. Iran has been weaponizing some of the most deadly pathogens known to humanity, and that includes smallpox. The United States has known about Iran’s biological weapons program for more than 30 years. So have the Russians. If the Iranians were to suddenly release an extremely contagious disease in the United States and Israel, millions could potentially die. This is a threat that we should be taking very seriously, but we aren’t.
Many of you may be thinking that if the Iranians actually had biological weapons they would have used them by now.
But that is not how the escalation ladder works.
The Iranians believe that they have done enough to win a strategic victory in this war. The Iranians are suffocating the flow of oil, natural gas and fertilizer out of the Middle East, and they are convinced that this will force the Trump administration to back down and give in to their demands.
If they were to start using chemical, biological or nuclear weapons, that would invite catastrophic retaliation and they fully understand this.
Falling Into Place: How The Democrat Party Morphed into the Party of Destruction, Communism, And Islam
By Jan Markell - https://harbingersdaily.com/falling-into-place-how-the-democrat-party-morphed-into-the-party-of-destruction-communism-and-islam/
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson says that the “barbarians are inside the gates,” referring to those pushing a radical socialist agenda. He went on to explain, “We are fighting right now in Congress over whether we’re going to maintain our status as a constitutional republic or go down this dark road of death to communism.”
The speaker isn’t crying wolf. The threat is real.
Leftists can put a new label on communism, calling it “democratic socialism,” but what this ideology is remains unchanged. We are seeing an embrace of the same dangerous Marxism that has resulted in the death of at least 100 million people worldwide. Should the United States succumb to “democratic socialism,” we would lose almost every freedom that the American system was built to protect.
Many nations have gone down this path; you may be from nations that made that terrible decision. But to the believer, there is another dimension, and that is what the Bible prophesies: a coming one-world system with a one-world leader.
The Reality of the Summer Slump
Like many ministries across the country, Prophecy Update experiences a predictable but challenging “Summer giving slump” every year. National statistics show that non-profit giving drops by an average of 20% to 30% between June and August.
If Prophecy Update has blessed you, anchored your faith, or helped you understand the days we live in, we humbly ask you to consider a special summer gift today. Every donation, no matter the size, makes an immediate and lasting impact.

The 2 Witnesses—Who, When & Where?
by Bill Perkins - https://compass.org/the-2-witnesses-who-when-where/
“And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.” Rev. 11:3
If these two Jewish men show up just before or just after the Rapture, it will immediately propel every Jew in the world back into their Bibles.
The Identity Of The First Witness
We know one of the witnesses is Elijah. He was taken alive to heaven in 850 B.C. but prophesied to return at the beginning of the Day of The Lord.
As they were going along and talking, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire and horses of fire which separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind to heaven. 2Kings 2:11
Prophecy Lights Our Way
By Nathele Graham - https://www.raptureready.com/2026/07/18/prophecy-lights-our-way-by-nathele-graham/
Prophecy is one of the most neglected subjects in Scripture. Is it unimportant? Another way to ask that question is to ask if anything in Scripture really matters. The answer is a resounding YES; it all matters. The attitude today is that the Bible is an ancient writing with no relevance to modern times. Every word of Scripture matters because it comes straight from God and hasn’t changed. God hasn’t changed.
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever” (Hebrews 13:8).
People haven’t changed either. We are still sinners who need the grace of God for salvation.
“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).
Parents have dropped the ball when it comes to teaching children about God. Is the moral law really relevant in today’s society? Yes, it is. Just because people accept sin with open arms doesn’t mean God’s moral law is invalid.
Are the Ten Commandments just ten suggestions? If you step into a classroom at a public school, you’ll find that kids are being taught many non-Biblical things, beginning with evolution. Parents have turned child-rearing over to others, including the government, and have lost control of the morals being instilled into their children.
Daily Jot: The American Chronicles: True American Grit
Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com
“A coach’s greatest victories aren’t measured on a scoreboard. They’re measured years later in the lives of the young men he helped shape.”
There is something about football that mirrors life. Every season begins with hope. Every practice demands discipline. Every game asks one simple question: Who are you when life gets hard? Years ago, I had the privilege of coaching a remarkable group of young men. We sweated through August heat, learned from mistakes, celebrated victories, and endured disappointments together. We weren’t simply teaching blocking assignments or defensive schemes. We were building character. Looking back now, I realize the greatest victories had very little to do with wins and losses. They had everything to do with the men those boys would become.
The game had come down to one final play. We were protecting a one-score lead with only seconds remaining. The ball rested inches from the goal line. During a timeout, I gathered the team around and pointed toward the football. “That’s still a lot of real estate,” I told them. “Do your best, and you’ll do just fine.” Then something happened that every one of us still remembers. An eagle appeared overhead, soaring across the sky. Every player looked up. Nobody spoke. We simply accepted it as encouragement to give everything we had. The whistle blew. Our defense exploded off the line and stopped the runner short. We won the game, but that goal-line stand became something much bigger than football. It became a lesson in courage, faith, teamwork, and refusing to surrender when everything depends on one more effort.
As the years passed, I began to understand what really happened that afternoon. Those young players became husbands, fathers, business owners, teachers, first responders, military members, and leaders in their communities. Every now and then, one of them knocks on my front door or sends me a message through social media. They rarely ask about a score or remember a particular play. Instead, they tell me about their families, careers, and the challenges they’ve overcome. Football was never the destination. It was the classroom. The huddle taught trust. Practice taught preparation. The weight room taught perseverance. Victory taught humility. Defeat taught resilience. Character travels much farther than any touchdown ever will, and its influence lasts long after the stadium lights grow dark.
Every generation faces its own version of fourth-and-inches. Life has a way of putting our backs against the wall. We wonder whether we have enough strength to keep going, enough faith to take one more step, enough determination to finish what we’ve started. The answer usually isn’t found in talent.
It comes from the character built through thousands of ordinary decisions that nobody else ever sees. That’s the heart behind my song, True American Grit, inspired by a true story that continues to remind me that football is one of life’s greatest classrooms. The chorus of True American Grit captures that lesson: “Life’s about teamwork... never give up... never quit... when your back’s against the wall and you’ve given all you’ve got to give.” Those words apply as much to everyday life as they do to football. The game lasted one afternoon. The lessons have lasted a lifetime.
The scoreboard eventually disappears. The trophies collect dust. The uniforms are packed away. But the discipline learned on hot summer practice fields, the trust forged in the huddle, the courage found on fourth and inches, and the friendships built through sacrifice continue to shape lives for decades. That’s what football gave us. That’s what coaching gave me. And that’s what I mean when I say...That’s True American Grit.
Daily Devotion: Light of the World
by Greg Laurie – www.harvest.org
You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.
—Matthew 5:14–16
https://harvest.org/resources/devotion/light-of-the-world/ - Listen
The revival our nation so desperately needs requires believers to show up conspicuously, to make our presence known. Revival requires us to offer light to the world. That was certainly Jesus’ plan for us. He left little doubt about how conspicuous we should be when He said, “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father” (Matthew 5:14–16 NLT).
There are two key ways that believers can be light for the world. We can let our light shine by doing good works, and we can let our light shine by proclaiming the gospel. Let’s start with the need for good works.
Since 9/11, the title “first responder” has been given a sense of near reverence. In any discussion of the most important, most beloved, most respected people in our country, first responders are invariably mentioned. First responders run toward dangers, tragedies, disasters, and unsettling situations that most other people run away from. They put themselves at risk, physically and emotionally, to help others in their times of need.
That’s something Christians should aspire to in letting their lights shine. When natural disasters occur, when people are starving, when a country is torn by war or ravaged by disease, Christians should be the first on the scene, doing what they can to bring aid, comfort, and provisions.
On a smaller scale, we can let our lights shine at home or in our workplace by being kind, generous, and loving, and by living sacrificially for others. That’s how we let our lights shine through our good works.
Then, of course, we also should let our lights shine by proclaiming the gospel, by telling others of their need for Christ. We are not to be secretive about our faith. We can tell our neighbors the Good News. We can make sure our coworkers know exactly what a Christian believes. We can make our faith obvious in our neighborhood and in the places we frequent. And we can raise up our children to walk with the Lord. That’s how we can make a difference in our nation.
You can be a conspicuous Christian. Let your light shine! That light is desperately needed in these dark times.

"Folks, it's all beginning to unravel. America is in more danger of falling than at any time in its history. But I believe Bible prophecy predicts this very decline. From this point on, we believers have to get serious. We are going to face discouragement, disillusionment and, most certainly, persecution in the time between now and the Rapture. But don't be discouraged or disillusioned. The coming turmoil will provide us unrivaled opportunities to share the good news of the Gospel. So be ready to share your faith and your hope with those who need Christ. We still have time to reap a great harvest of souls for God's kingdom!" - Hal Lindsey
