Current events, the Israel situation, today 11-23-25, we've changed that to Israel Watch, keeping an eye on what's going on over there. There's still three deceased hostage bodies that have not been returned. Sadly, there's a lot of talk of hostilities again. And the world continues turning against the Jews and the nation of Israel around the world, which Jesus predicted would happen at the end times. And there's no end to the craziness among the anti-Israel crown. The far right commentator, as she's described, Candace Owens, is now claiming that the French and Israeli linked hit squad has been sent to assassinate her. And I show that because a lot of you have heard this stuff and you wonder what in the world's going on. She's the one who's claimed that Charlie Kirk was assassinated by his own friends and widow. And she's claiming that the Macron's in France has ordered her assassination and that they're using an Israeli assassin somehow or other. This guy named Stu Peters, he's warning about the sinister plot to enslave Americans. 50-year mortgages as Zionist chains. This is the same stuff that they did in Nazi Germany to the Jews, and the same thing they did in Russia to the Jews before they all left and went to Israel. They're even claiming that the Jews in Israel had JFK assassinated. And this is a Kentucky statesman account. This is how they act. This is a true quote from JFK right before he was killed. He said, quote, for we are opposed around the world by monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military diplomatic intelligence, economic, scientific, and political operations," end quote. And they are telling everybody he's talking about the Jews and Israel. He's talking about communists and communism. That's what he was talking about. And there are people who actually take this and they'll say he's talking about the Jesuits and the Masons and that kind of stuff too. He was talking about the communists. He was warning America right before he was killed. Here's another example, Norm MacDonald, he died a few years ago of cancer, and this guy, Brandon Taylor Moore, says, Norm MacDonald's theology is better than all Christian Zionists. This is a quote, he's claiming Norm said this. You know, these Jews, they keep saying their homeland is in Israel, but the other day I was reading this thing called the Bible, and it turns out their homeland is in hell for denying our Lord Jesus Christ. End quote. Problem. Norm never said that. Trust me, if it's on the internet, it probably isn't true. These days, you'd better check and double check things that they have Abraham Lincoln and George Washington and Plato and all these people and they'll put quotes and they don't say that stuff. You can't find it anywhere. So you better be very careful with that stuff. But the Jew hate in the United States is increasingly public and disgusting. This was at a DC train station where they put on what is called a blood libel. We've talked about that before. Every time the people want to kill off the Jews, they start accusing them of killing Christian children and eating their blood. They claim they use the blood making matzo bread and that sort of stuff. That's exactly what they've done in the past in Germany, Russia, and elsewhere. So what was it displaying? I-24 News says the shocking display at DC train station depicts Israeli and U.S. leaders feasting on blood of Gazan children. So it's Gazan children instead of Christian children now. The Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater DC says, seldom have we seen such a sickening display of full-throated anti-Semitism. The display featured a mock Friendsgiving dinner with five besuited people donning masks representing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, former President Joe Biden, and Anthony Blinken, the former top diplomat in Biden's administration. Listen, whatever political affiliation you have, if you do not support their hatred of the Jews, they oppose you. even if you're non-political. Lavishly splattered with fake blood, the five are sat on a long table set with bloody, dull limbs, glasses of fake blood, and a menu accusing Israel of harvesting Gaza children's organs and skin. The Israeli flags are used as blood-soaked tablecloth, as well as the napkins. Participants wipe blood off their faces. And I won't go into that any further, but that's just an example people going into the DC train station saw over the weekend. I'm not going to read all that, but all because Israel defended itself in retaliation to the Palestinian Hamas attack of October 7, 2023. The accusation of genocide was a total lie. The accusation of starvation and famine in Gaza was a total lie. And whatever your news sources were, if they were telling you that, you need to find new sources, because it wasn't happening. Golda Meir said it best, quote, if we have to choose between being dead and pitied and being alive with a bad image, we'd rather be alive and have the bad image. Amen. And so we will continue standing with Israel against the Hamas terrorists and anybody else trying to end their existence. In other current news, confirming why we refer to the Democrat party as a Marxist party. People say, why do you call them that? Well, they are. Congress voted on a resolution to condemn the horrors of socialism. Nearly 100 Democrats refused to vote to condemn socialism. Folks, that has never been the case of the Democratic Party in the past. They're going further and further into Marxism, socialism. And they had 100 of them refuse to vote to condemn socialism. That tells you they think that their voters support socialism. That is a huge sea change in this nation. 127 Democrats refused to vote to condemn the horrors. That was the word. The words were to condemn the horrors of socialism. They wouldn't do it. And Representative Andy Biggs said there were no poison pills in the resolution. In other words, there was no other thing in there that they could say, well, I didn't vote for it because of this or that. There was nothing like that in the bill. He says, despicable I say, amen. Now listen, the reason why that's concern to us, socialism in all its forms is Antichrist. And all who refuse to condemn it are filled with this Antichrist spirit. Every time socialism, Marxism, communism, by any brand name you put on it, when they take over, they start killing Christians. They start imprisoning and abusing and torturing Christians. So you just mark it down, whatever country, including this country, if it goes down the road of Marxism, Christians are in danger. Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist? That's okay, you can just say yes. It's easier than explaining it. I don't mind. Trump jumped in and basically, it was pretty nauseating just to watch this. It was not fun to watch. But, folks, that's just the way he's always operated. You can't go by what you see in the Oval Office in the meetings. You have to watch what happens. So that's what we'll watch. Because a few hours later, he posted this. Minnesota, under Governor Walz, is a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity. I am, as President of the United States, hereby terminating, effective immediately, the temporary protected status for Somalis in Minnesota. Somali gangs are terrorizing the people of that great state, and billions of dollars are missing. Send them back to where they came from. It's over. Now folks, we are a mixed race congregation. We are not racist. But what we are, I speak, I believe I'm speaking for most of us here. I'm not against immigration, I'm against illegal immigration. I'm not against immigration, but I'm against non-assimilation. We're all descended from immigrants. But what did all of our parents and grandparents have in common? We assimilated. Doesn't mean you have to junk all of your culture and everything, but you can't have an anti-American culture, an anti-American religion, and be against everybody around you and come into this country. That's the way our founders did it. It was right up until, I think it was in the 60s and 70s when things started to change, when it came to immigration policy. But we welcome immigrants. And so if anybody out there, if you're an immigrant, you're welcome here. We're a Bible-believing Christian church, and we welcome anybody, no matter your color of skin, your nation of origin, whatever those little taglines they put on all those nondiscriminatory policies. If you come in here with sin, we do call on you to repent. Amen. I mean, that's it. But that's not your race or ethnicity or anything. is something that no Republican or Democrat president has ever done. But of course, maybe before the 60s and 70s none of them had to do it. So, ignore the photo ops and pay attention to what actually happens. And that's why, you know, If you want the illegals out of this country, you ought to be kind of disappointed right now because Barack Obama sent way more out of the country, deported way more illegals than are being deported right now. But people believe what they see on TV. Meanwhile, the peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia, this is a horrible war that we just want to see it come to an end. The U.S. threatens to withhold intel and weapons from Ukraine to force the peace deal because they're not wanting to cooperate. A U.S. plan seen as endorsing some of Russia's key demands, well, that's what happens when you win a war. It's just the reality. When you win a war, whether it's just or not, you win land, you get territory. And if you want more, you know, someone said there's something like, what did they say, 45,000 a month being killed in Ukraine right now? It's a huge number. And our news media doesn't tell the facts and figures, so people don't understand what's going on over there. Washington has presented Ukraine with a 28-point plan seen as endorsing some of Russia's key demands, including further territorial concessions curbing the size of the Ukrainian military, as well as foreclosing Ukraine's path to join NATO. And I don't have time to get in all that, but Ukraine joining NATO has always been seen as a legitimate reason for Russia to go to war, always has been. Since the founding of NATO, Ukraine's joining NATO was always understood by both sides as a declaration of war. And when they started talking about bringing Ukraine into NATO, it needlessly really brought about this war. Kiev, it is understood, that's the capital of Ukraine, is under great pressure from Washington, greater pressure from Washington than during any previous peace discussions, expected to sign a framework of the deal by Thursday. So Thanksgiving Day, maybe we'll have some idea of the framework. Zelensky's shooting it down really to some extent. He's kind of one time he'll say something positive, but he also said that it's a choice between a loss of dignity or U.S. support. And I just believe that that man is a puppet and that he's all about making money for the people who control him. That's what I believe. I think Putin is as evil as anybody. This isn't about who's good or bad. This is just the reality. This is a terrible situation. And we have missionaries over there with all those innocent souls being lost. We just want to see the war come to an end. Amen? I like how Johnny Cash said it, I'm not a hawk, I don't like war, I'm a dove with claws. I believe there's a time for war, but never offensive war and only defensive war, only when necessary. And that's a biblical position that Johnny took, and I agree with. Meanwhile, the corrupt Ukrainian government I mentioned is facing scrutiny, finally. Welcome back. 711 media reports in Ukraine are detailing a major embezzlement and kickback scandal in the government. They implicate a close associate of the president. Fox's Greg Palcott has the latest. As Ukraine battles Russia in the nearly four-year-long war, it now deals with another challenge. It's claimed by Ukraine's anti-corruption agencies, officials who ran the country's nuclear power supplier, Energoatom, were involved in a $100 million embezzlement scheme, taking kickbacks from those doing business with the company. U.S. funds, part of the racket. The main task of the criminal organization was to obtain illegal benefits from contractors of Energoatom. Justice Minister, German Geleshenko, and Energy Minister Svitlana Hrnchuk already forced to resign. One of seven charged suspects, a former business partner of Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky. The Ukrainian leader put a brave face on it. I support every investigation by law enforcement bodies, by anti-corruption bodies. We support it. But it was Zelensky last summer who, in the middle of this investigation, tried to weaken the anti-corruption bodies. A move which brought protesters out, worried Ukraine could be falling back to past corrupt ways. And it comes when Kyiv depends on billions of dollars of support from foreign countries in its fight with Russia. Its reputation is critical. It needs to be protected and that's why we need to see direct and concrete and bold actions. It comes also as Ukrainians face another cold winter of war. The fact that individuals pocketed money which should have gone to protect critical power plants makes locals shiver. Of course, we are holding on. But of course, it is very clear that this is very, very unpleasant. Parliament member Goncharenko told us, in fact, these revelations should show that Ukraine is dealing with tough issues. That is, if no more corruption is found. In London, Greg Palcon, Fox News. Big F. And listen, it's nothing new. It's going on right here in this country. And the Democrat Party, Nancy Pelosi, has made I don't know how many millions of dollars through insider trading and everything. Then you have this Marjorie Taylor Greene, who's went from being worth $700,000, five years later she's worth $25 million. And it's using information to then make investments and such like that. Mitch McConnell down in Kentucky, the Republican senator. I mean, both parties is going on. Not all of them. There are some who keep their hands clean, but it's pretty nasty business. At this point, President Zelensky is not implicated. but he is being criticized for attempting to weaken the investigative bodies. Of course, that's a question Mark brought on the Israel situation with Netanyahu. So those are legit questions to ask when they try to weaken the ability of the investigators to get to the bottom of these things. So in an unrelated current event, we tell you all the time, double check, check and double check everything you get from your news media, but also from what you get from Bible translations, from Bible teachers, from TV ministries, radio ministries, whatever. There's a whole lot of bad, we call it Bible abuse out there. And you've heard me talk about using the Bible like a cookbook. God never intended it, but people just open and say, oh, what does God have to say for me today? How be it many of them which heard the word believed, and the number of the men was about 5,000. I have no idea what that's saying to me, but that's my verse for the day. That's how people do it. That's not how God works. It's not how you're supposed to use the Bible. And so instead of using the Bible as intended, here's an example of what they do. This has become a theme verse of what we call Laodicean and mega churches, these big churches that are all just about being big and getting as much money as they can. You know, give, give till it hurts. I'll cry and that'll make you give more. This is the kind of Bible abuse. Habakkuk 1.5. You'll see this on church signs, t-shirts, bumper stickers, advertising their church, and it says, Look at the nations and watch. This is a new version. I can't remember. I didn't even know which one. Look at the nations and watch. Be utterly amazed. I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe even if you were told. Doesn't that sound wonderful? Problem. Let's look at the context and I'll look in the real Bible. Behold ye among the heathen and regard and wonder marvelously for I will work a work in your days which ye will not believe though it be told you. That sounds almost the same preacher. Yes, but let's keep reading. For lo, I raise up the Chaldeans that bitter and hasty nation which shall march through the breadth of the land to possess the dwelling places that are not theirs. This marvelous, wonderful thing, he's not talking about like it's good. It's gonna make people wonder. It's gonna be something that's gonna make their brain buzz. Why? Well, for starters, it's the Chaldeans, and anybody who knows anything about the Chaldeans knows what we're talking about there. Ruthless soldiers are gonna come through, and they're gonna possess the land, so they're gonna take over, and they're gonna take all your houses. Next verse, they are terrible and dreadful. Their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves. Like I said, everybody knew what the Chaldeans were about. Just knowing they're coming is gonna make people drop dead of fear. Their horses also are swifter than the leopards and are more fierce than the evening wolves. And their horsemen shall spread themselves and their horsemen shall come from far. They shall fly as the eagle that hasted to. It's like a blitzkrieg coming in of Chaldeans are gonna take everything. says they shall come all for violence. Their faces shall sup up as the east wind and they shall gather the captivity as the sand and so forth. You get the idea? They took a verse that's meaning it's going to be really, really bad. Took it out of its context and they put it on their church signs and t-shirts and say, God's going to do something wonderful here. See, that's Bible abuse. And that's a warning. Just be very careful what you listen to. All those videos out there on YouTube, so much of them aren't even real, they're AI. They're not even, they got, we've talked about, they've got these ones with Elon Musk and people talking. It's not even them. Just an amazing time to be alive, amen? Be informed, pray and act accordingly.
