Putin & Abbas: common tie, common goal

Last month, we learned that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas (code name “mole”) was on the KGB payroll in the 1980s, along with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Following, Hal Lindsey describes what this means in terms of Biblical Prophesy. The information was discovered in a British archive of KGB agents from that period. Though the Palestinian Authority is trying to deny it, it makes sense. Abbas headed a Palestinian-Soviet friendship foundation during that time. And now that the US is turning

The New European Union

Recently, European Union leaders gathered for a summit in Slovakia. It was anything but business as usual. They discussed the turmoil created by the recent Middle East migration tsunami — which nations like Germany and France at first welcomed and even encouraged. Then they discussed the possible break-up of the EU with the British exit and the threatened desertion of several other nations. Some of the old Warsaw Pact nations are forming a separate alliance to resist Brussels’ heavy-handedness. Even

Kings of the East

North Korea and its weapons testing has been the subject of past UN Security Council meetings. And though official action has been adopted, nothing of any great consequence has ever resulted. But North Korea’s most recent weapons testing is different for a couple of reasons. First, the nuclear devices NK exploded a few days ago were more powerful than anything they’ve tested before. Probably because the North Koreans claim to have developed hydrogen bombs. Second, it now appears that North

Welcome to the End-Times!

Recently, the Russian military moved as many as 40,000 troops, along with tanks, armored vehicles, and air force units, to staging areas along Russia’s border with Ukraine. Russia is also conducting massive military exercises nearby and in Belarus, north of Ukraine. Some media organizations are noting that these are the same preparations Russia made before invading and annexing Ukraine’s southern peninsula of Crimea in 2014. Some are speculating that Russia is preparing to invade Ukraine and seize the eastern regions

Threat to Religious Rights extends to Universities

“It’s pretty amazing how quickly we got here, to a place in society where those of faith are to be silenced by the loud and powerful few; where one’s conscience counts only if it reflects the extreme views of the political elite.” This week, Cathi Herrod, President of Center for Arizona Policy, wrote this news update on California’s SB 1146, a bill that would have forced religious universities in California to abandon biblical teachings about human sexuality or lose state-funded scholarships

States heading for suppression of Christianity

It [California] seems to have decided that Christians are the one group whose constitutional rights can be safely diminished, and maybe eventually eliminated. Writing for Christianity Today, Ed Stetzer said, “The California legislature is poised to consider legislation that could destroy the ability of numerous faith-based colleges and universities to pursue the mission for which they were created.” There are two similar bills before the California legislature. If passed and signed into law, they would force Christian universities to either

Mob Rule in Congress?

Last week, the “Occupy” movement came to Capitol Hill. A band of 60 Democrat lawmakers — including Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi — staged a “sit in” on the floor of the House of Representatives. Nothing quite like it has ever happened before in the U.S. capitol. In essence, our national lawmakers flaunted the very concept of the rule of law. In the wake of the Orlando massacre, the mainstream media portrayed them as heroic. Speaker of the House Paul Ryan

BREXIT

240 years ago the United States of America declared its independence from Great Britain. Last week, Britain had an independence day of its own. The citizens of the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union. Voters turned out in droves. 52% voted to “Leave” the EU. 48% voted to “Remain.” Even with that fairly close margin, more people voted to “Leave” the EU than ever voted for anything in Britain’s history. Prior to the referendum, the fear-mongering from commentators,

Spiritual World War

We’re beginning to see new levels of radical Islamic brutality. Both the amount of violence and its horrific nature seem to be escalating. Stories emerging from Afghanistan about Taliban actions are starting to rival the atrocities of ISIS. And the constant stream of reports about Muslim on Muslim attacks in the Middle East are beginning to numb our Western sensibilities. I think we are entering a new era of what I call “Spiritual World War.” And I believe that, more

Beneath the Crescent Moon

People sometimes wonder why I bother to talk about the dangers of Islam. They say, “Why not just present the positive aspects of the Gospel?” They forget that Jesus Himself warned of dangerous belief systems. And He called them by name! As a minister of the Gospel, it is my duty to show that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is not just another “religion.” It is the very truth of God! Sometimes that can best be accomplished by revealing the
