Jews ordered to register in east Ukraine?
First, I want to make mention of the three people who were killed last weekend in Overland Park, Kansas, a wealthier suburb of Kansas City. Although all three killed were Christians (two Methodists and one Catholic to be specific), the Neo-Nazi who killed them was seeking to randomly murder Jews at a local Jewish Community […]
‘Israel is a Paradise for Christians’
The stronghold of Arab nationalism is beginning to crumble: In an interview with Italian media, Israeli Christians from Nazareth once again debunked assertions that Israel is an apartheid state with their own powerful testimonies. The report started off by noting that there is a growing rift in the Israeli Christian community between those who choose […]
Erdogan and AKP hold power in Turkey
Last Sunday (March 30, 2014) Turkey held elections that were considered in many ways a bellwether for how the AKP will fare in larger elections at the end of this year.

Egypt sentences 529 Muslim Brotherhood supporters to death
This is a fairly shocking story. Although I tend to agree that when radical Islamists form a high percentage of society, it requires a fairly iron-fisted government to safeguard the rights of minorities, this nevertheless sounds quite extreme. Read the full story at the Washington Post. It is of course, just another step in the […]
Mark Davidson book now available
I mentioned several weeks ago in another blog post that I would announce when Mark Davidson’s new book was available. Well, it finally has been released. I had intended to write an article to accompany this announcement, but I’ve simply been too busy, and I did not want to delay any further. So without any […]

Sorry haters, but it simply is not. I enjoyed this excellent piece by Charles Abelsohn from the Times of Israel, which exposes this lie so commonly leveled by the anti-Semites / anti-Zionists.
With Latest Victory, Assad Has Won the War in Syria
According to David Francis at Yahoo News. If this is true and if it holds, we should all be very thankful that the US and the Obama admin failed and Assad succeeded. I say this because our Christian brothers and sisters will be a bit more safe under Assad than they would under a radical […]

The End of Evangelical Support for Israel?
As we have now reached the point within evangelicalism where conforming to the spirit of the age is far more important than conforming ourselves to the image of Christ, it is not surprising that young evangelicals are embracing the growing trend toward anti-Zionism. I plan on focusing on this issue much more in the days […]

Deputy Speaker of the Knesset, Moshe Feiglin Prays on Temple Mount
Moshe Feiglin said, “I see my ascension to the Temple Mount as the first step towards returning full Israeli sovereignty to the Temple Mount. The Israeli police proved that when they receive the correct orders they are able to properly fulfill them.” Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein helped mediate with the police to make Feiglin’s visit […]
Berlin’s Pergamon Museum closes for 5 years
This is interesting. The Altar of Zeus alternately known as the Pergamon Altar built between 197 and 156 B.C. formerly in Pergamon, Asia Minor, (today Bergama, Turkey) is now housed in Berlin’s Pergamon Museum. This is also the same altar that Jesus referred to as, “the Throne of Satan” in Revelation 2:13 ‘I know where […]

SodaStream and Scarlett Johansson: Three Comments
This article by Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch has almost perfectly expressed my feelings concerning the whole controversy between Scarlett Johansson, Oxfam, and Roger Waters. If I had written the article, the only difference is that I would have sardonically quoted Pink Floyd lyrics a bit more than the rabbi. To my embarrassment, there was a time […]
Mideast Beast now available on Amazon Audible

Growing global Anti-Semitism: Rage against the Covenant
Behind all of the prophetic speculation, beyond all various signs that one might point to that signal the return of Christ, none is more relevant than the rising tide of global anti-Semitism. Of course, one could easily point to the redundant calls heard throughout the Islamic world for the elimination of the Jewish state, or […]
