Signs of The Times Banner News Briefs Header Jesus Quote News Header






Synopsis: The news of the day and how it affects you as a Christian. It’s the Friday News Round-Up and Comment broadcast. Here’s a sample of what host Jim Schneider presented for listeners:

President Trump announced today that the Strait of Hormuz is fully open although the naval blockade against Iran remains in full force.

A major diplomatic push is underway to ease tensions in the Middle East, as President Trump announced a cease-fire between Israel and Lebanon while simultaneously trying to hold a fragile truce with Iran.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has announced the suspension of Italy’s defense treaty with Israel on the same day that she was harshly criticized by President Trump for not assisting the U.S. in its military campaign against Iran.

President Trump continued his criticism of NATO with a social media post late Tuesday evening simply stating, “NATO wasn’t there for us and they won’t be there for us in the future!”

A group of House Democrats filed articles of impeachment Wednesday against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the war in Iran, obstruction of congressional oversight and other claims of wrongdoing.

Anti-Semitic attacks killed 20 Jews in four separate incidents in 2025, marking the deadliest year of anti-Semitism since 1994, according to an annual anti-Semitism report.

The Jewish population is estimated to be about 15.8 million, still below pre-holocaust levels when between 16.5 and 16.7 million Jews lived worldwide.

The U.S. Air Force will purchase up to 270 million dollars worth of lightweight solar powered drones that can be launched by a two-person crew and fly extended loitering scout missions, according to the manufacturer.

House Democrats unveiled a new bill laying the groundwork for removing President Trump through the 25th Amendment, opening another front in their escalated effort to challenge his fitness for office.

Democratic Representative Bonnie Watson Coleman called for President Trump to be eliminated from office on Wednesday.

President Trump said Thursday that he called a meeting to address alarming, unconfirmed reports of missing and deceased nuclear scientists, describing the situation as, “pretty serious stuff.”




NTEB Prophecy News Podcast
 The 7 Noahide Laws Will Make Up The Framework Of The Coming Kingdom Of Antichrist Inside A Rebuilt Jewish Temple

Host And Founder Of ‘Now The End Begins’ Geoffrey Grider:
The 7 Noahide Laws Reveal A Dangerous End Times Fault Line Where Faithful Christians Will Be Punished For Declaring That Jesus Christ Is God Manifest In The Flesh

When Jesus said that the end times would be like it was back in the days of Noah, He pointed us back to a world united in rebellion against God, a world ripe for judgment. What most Christians don’t realize is that this “return to the days of Noah” has a direct prophetic connection to what’s quietly being constructed today under the banner of the The 7 Noahide Laws—a global moral code recognized by the United Nations, the United States and endorsed by people like Ben Shapiro, John Hagee and countless others here in 2026.

“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.” Matthew 23:25 (KJV)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, these 7 Noahide Laws may sound harmless—universal ethics for humanity—but behind their smooth language lies a spiritual trap preparing the world for the One World Religion prophesied in Revelation 13. And worse than that, the Noahide Laws come wrapped in a cloak of scripture, they are anything but. For example, when the 7 Noahide Laws are enacted, it will make teaching salvation in Jesus Christ a crime punishable by execution. Rabbinical Judaism is not the Law of Moses, it’s not Bible, it was what Jesus preached against during His earthly ministry. It was the reason He flipped over the tables of the moneychangers, and the reason why Jesus called them all hypocrites.

We live right now in a highly-charged and global religious society, where the 7 Noahide Laws are waiting in the wings getting ready to make their entrance on the end times stage. We will show you connection the 7 Noahide Laws have with the 7 Mountains Mandate, and how all the activity underway right now in the Middle East foreshadows the soon arrival of Antichrist and the Strong Delusion. Here’s a fun fact: in the same year that then-President George H.W. Bush signed the 7 Noahide Laws into US Public Law, 1991, he also declared the soon arrival of the coming New World Order. Here in 2026, God is using Donald Trump is bringing it all to pass. We are living in exciting times!




Harbinger’s Daily
By Olivier Melnick: Is Satan trying to paint Jesus (Yeshua) as an antisemitic king? The short answer is YES, and the main reason must be because Satan knows that he is running out of time. He is desperate in his attempt at discrediting Yeshua’s messianic claim and is trying everything under the sun to turn the Jewish people against the true Jewish messiah. He must know that the clock is ticking! The King is returning soon, and He is a King indeed, but not in the way some people are now using the term.

There is a group of people within conservatism in America that have been using the phrase “Christ is King” in a very derogatory and nefarious way. It appears in posts on X, Instagram, Facebook, or other social media platforms, not as a theological truth, but as some sort of provocation or weaponized statement to ostracize Israel and the Jewish people.

This is not a good look for Christians who are desperately trying to rebuild bridges burned by 2,000 years of antisemitism between their community and the Jewish people. There is biblical truth in the statement “Christ is King,“ and it needs to be explained in its proper context.

“Christ” has long been a word that Jewish people avoid pronouncing, except in the occasional cuss phrase. In all fairness, Jewish history has been punctuated by acts of antisemitism in the name of “Christ,” “Christianity,” or “the Church.” “Christ” being a word to avoid in Jewish circles is a reality, even though it is disconnected from the real meaning of the word. Truthfully and respectfully, the word needs to be defined, biblically and without an agenda.

Christ is the English translation of the Greek word Christos, which itself is a translation of the Hebrew word Mashiach, meaning Messiah or “anointed.” At the core, etymologically, that is all there is to it. The concept of a Mashiach is a very Jewish concept. It is carried all throughout the Tanach, starting in Genesis 3:15, all the way to the end of the Tanach in 1 Chronicles 17:10-14.



Geller Report
By Pamela Geller: Iranian regime planning to execute a female protester, Bita Hemmati, by hanging alongside her husband for taking part in anti-regime protests in January.

The regime, whom the Pope is stumping for, is slaughtering their own people.



Prophecy News Watch
By PNW Staff: When U.S. President Donald Trump sent Vice President JD Vance to negotiate with members of the Iranian regime in Islamabad, people initially thought that Vance--reportedly the most outspoken voice in the Trump administration against going to war with Iran--would be a soft touch.

When the talks in Pakistan broke down, however, Vance's position could hardly have been tougher. Having seen the Iranian regime up close, he said, he was absolutely certain that these people must never be allowed to get nuclear weapons.

In recent days, he has again taken a position which contradicted previous assumptions about his worldview.

The MAGA movement is currently convulsed by a faction of poisonous, unhinged Jewish-conspiracy theorists, led by podcaster and political commentator Tucker Carlson. Believing that Israel drags America into needless foreign wars, they've been inflamed to the point of hysteria by the war against Iran.

A number of these people are Catholics who have positioned themselves against Christian Zionism, largely associated with evangelical Protestantism. Younger Catholics, particularly recent converts who reject modernity, are leaning into older, more "authentic" versions of the faith--and are thus embracing its earlier virulent antisemitism.




Through The Lens
 Deception Is At An All-Time High… Even The Elect Could Be Fooled

Synopsis: Are we living in the days the Bible warned about?

In this episode of Through the Lens, we take a hard look at the world around us and compare it to what Scripture has already revealed. From rising deception and censorship to the increasing rejection of truth, it’s becoming harder to ignore the signs.

Jesus warned in Matthew 24 that false prophets would rise and deceive many, even the elect. Today, we are witnessing a culture where good is called evil, truth is silenced, and lawlessness continues to grow.
v This isn’t just coincidence… it’s biblical.
