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:

Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah agreed to a cease-fire today.

Newly revealed details have emerged from the Memorandum of Understanding agreed to by the U.S. and Iran.

Hamas believes the prospect of a deal between Washington and Iran is not being interpreted as a sign of American strength but as a sign of America’s weakness.

Iran’s foreign minister spokesperson takes a “victory lap” concerning the new Memorandum of Understanding between Iran and the U.S., claiming they have defeated two nuclear powers.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu avowed that with or without an agreement, Iran will not have nuclear weapons.

President Trump insisted the Iran deal can survive IDF strikes on Hezbollah and Lebanon, while saying he is not happy with how Israel has fought.

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee commented on the importance of Israel to the United States.

Vice President J.D. Vance told CBN News that the looming agreement with Iran would be good for both America and Israel, although questions remain about whether Iran can really be trusted.

The U.S. Air Force has lost nearly one-third of the available fleet of critical reaper drones in the Middle East conflict since the start of the Trump administration. There’s no active production line to build more, nor has the Pentagon and Congress produced a funded plan to replace them.

The Department of War is reportedly seeking 80 billion dollars to cover costs associated with the Iran conflict and other unrelated expenses.

President Trump has invoked the cold war era Defense Production Act to spur the production of more munitions.

As the program moves along there’s news concerning baseball and “Pride” Month; transgenderism; teacher fired over pressuring students to perform same-sex kisses; Mayor Mamdani and gender affirming care; biological male who identifies as transgender wins girls shot-put event; a California bill would allow minor children to divorce their parents; Tulsi Gabbard, outgoing Director of National Intelligence, releases documents incriminating Dr. Fauci; and much more.

 Emmanuel Macron Has Incredibly Just Emerged As The Major Player In Trump’s New Iran ‘Peace Deal’ Memorandum

Host And Founder Of ‘Now The End Begins’ Geoffrey Grider:
Donald Trump’s Iran Peace Deal Signed At Versailles Under Emmanuel Macron’s Watch Is One Of The Most Stunning Prophecy Headlines Yet

President Donald Trump has signed an Iran ‘Peace Deal’ Memorandum Of Understanding at the Palace of Versailles, hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron, the man I believe may very well be the biblical man of sin. And he did it in the exact same palace where Germany signed the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 surrendering to the Allies, one of the most consequential peace documents of the modern age. You can’t make this stuff up. Christian, when you see Donald Trump, Emmanuel Macron, Iran, peace, nuclear negotiations, the Middle East, Israel, global leaders, and the Palace of Versailles all coming together in one breathtaking prophetic tableau, you had better be paying attention. Very close attention.

“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;” 2 Thessalonians 2:3 (KJV)

For years now, we have watched Emmanuel Macron move across the world stage with the kind of globalist ambition, European authority, Roman-flavored symbolism, and diplomatic reach that grabbed our attention way back in 2017. Macron is not just another European politician. He has repeatedly positioned himself as a mediator, a unifier, a voice for Europe, and a bridge between competing world powers. And now, he just hosted Donald Trump at Versailles as Trump signed an Iran ‘peace memorandum’, whatever that actually means.

Donald Trump is not the Antichrist. He does not fit the biblical profile. But Trump has been deeply connected to Middle East peace architecture since the Abraham Accords. Those accords remain, in my view, one of the most prophetically significant developments of the modern era. They may not be Daniel 9:27 in completed form, but they absolutely could be part of the platform that the Antichrist later confirms. Iran has been one of the central prophetic and geopolitical pressure points in the Middle East. A deal involving Iran, nuclear negotiations, economic relief, global shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, and broader regional peace is not just political news, it is prophecy come to life. Today we will attempt to plumb the depths of the man that is Emmanuel Macron, our #1 candidate for the biblical man of sin.



Harbinger’s Daily
By Ty Perry: A historic Jackson, Mississippi, synagogue was set on fire earlier this year by a young man who claimed to be a Christian. Unfortunately, many people today who say they are Christians are misled antisemites.

In the case of Stephen Spencer Pittman, 19, surveillance footage showed him inside Beth Israel Congregation shortly after 3 a.m., pouring gasoline on the floor and furniture before the fire began. The flames charred the synagogue’s offices and library and destroyed two Torah scrolls. He called the building a “synagogue of Satan,” a reference to two verses in the book of Revelation (2:9; 3:9).

Pittman followed social media accounts associated with the Christian alt-right, a term sometimes attributed to faithful followers of Christ but more often to radicalized antisemites masquerading as Christians. These people post antisemitic conspiracy theories about Jewish control of society and invoke language commonly associated with Holocaust revisionism and denial.

Pittman appeared to absorb this material. His final public Instagram post showed a cartoon princess pushing a Jewish caricature into a swimming pool. Hours later, Pittman broke into Beth Israel and set it on fire.

After the attack, he sent his father a photo of the back of the building with the message “There’s a furnace in the back.” His father reported him to authorities after Pittman confessed. According to an FBI affidavit, Pittman said “he was due for a homerun and ‘I did my research.’” He “laughed as he told his father what he did and said he finally got them.” When advised of his legal rights in court two days later, he responded, “Jesus Christ is Lord.”

For Bible-believing Christians, antisemitism espoused by professing believers is especially troubling. After all, we affirm that Jesus Christ is Lord too. But today, once-trusted media figures claiming the mantle of Christian values promote anti-Jewish rhetoric.



Prophecy News Watch
By PNW Staff: A red heifer calf born recently in Israel has once again captured the attention of Jews, Christians, and Bible prophecy observers around the world. The calf, named Temimah--a Hebrew word meaning "perfect" or "without blemish"--was born on a dairy farm in the Galilee and reportedly displayed a remarkably uniform red coat.

Soon after birth, she was examined by Rabbi Azaria Ariel, a prominent figure involved in Temple preparations. Reports from those monitoring the animal have fueled excitement among religious Jews who believe the restoration of Temple worship in Jerusalem is drawing closer.

To many outside the biblical world, the birth of a red cow may seem insignificant. Yet for students of Scripture, the red heifer occupies a unique place in both Jewish tradition and biblical prophecy.

Why The Red Heifer Matters

The importance of the red heifer originates in Numbers 19, where God instructed Israel regarding a special purification ritual. The ashes of a flawless red heifer were to be mixed with water and used for ceremonial cleansing from ritual impurity, particularly impurity associated with death.

According to traditional Jewish understanding, a future restoration of Temple worship would require a biblically qualified red heifer. Without its ashes, many religious authorities believe the full purification process necessary for Temple service cannot be properly restored.

This explains why every reported red heifer birth receives intense scrutiny. The requirements are strict. The animal must be entirely red, free from blemishes, never have been used for labor, and remain qualified through maturity. Many candidates have initially appeared promising only to later develop disqualifying characteristics.




Israel 365 News
By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz: At the Palace of Versailles on June 17, as French President Emmanuel Macron looked on, President Donald Trump signed his name to a 14-point memorandum of understanding with the Islamic Republic of Iran—a regime whose state-controlled media, within hours, was broadcasting banners declaring that “the US was forced to sign an agreement to end the war.” In Tehran, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian held up his signed copy for cameras, completing what Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei called proof that his country had “defeated two nuclear powers… We truly are a superpower.”

The proof that Iran’s celebration is not merely rhetorical lies on the ground: Hezbollah, Iran’s most powerful proxy, is firing missiles and drones daily into Israel even as a supposed ceasefire is in effect, and Hamas’s latest response to mediators in Cairo amounts to an effective rejection of key components of Trump’s Gaza peace plan, including the demand for disarmament.

The MOU, mediated by Pakistan and Qatar and signed two days earlier than originally planned, grants Iran large-scale economic relief and commits Tehran only in principle to a subsequent dilution of its enriched uranium—while pushing off discussion of Iran’s nuclear program and other core issues to a 60-day negotiation period. Despite Trump’s combative pre-war rhetoric, Iran’s theocratic government remains in place, its stockpile of highly enriched uranium has not been surrendered, its ballistic missile capabilities have not been destroyed, and it has not ended its support for terror proxies like Hezbollah in Lebanon.




Geller Report
By Pamela Geller: Vance continues to deeply disappoint. He relishes his role as the ringleader of rising antisemitism on the right.

Donald Trump may be the decision-maker on all things Iran, but nobody disputes that J.D. Vance is the face and top negotiator for the deal. He took to the White House Pressroom podium to face questions, and wwas scheduled to fly to Switzerland to lead the negotiations for the final deal – although that has now been postponed.

Associated Press: JD Vance was supposed to be spending the week promoting his new book, the kind of event a potential presidential candidate like the vice president typically uses to speak to a wide audience about his life and values ahead of a campaign. Instead, the rollout of Vance’s second book, “Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith,” has been largely crowded out by something else he’s put his name on: the deal to end the Iran war. The Republican vice president has embraced the role of chief defender of the agreement he and President Donald Trump signed with Tehran, giving a series of interviews touting it as a success, releasing a video championing it and parrying questions about it during a briefing at the White House. It’s a striking emergence for a politician who’s known for his skepticism of foreign military interventions and who seemed reluctant to speak on the conflict when Trump launched it in February.

The Final Hour
 
I Interviewed AI About The Antichrist System . . .
It Admitted Too Much

Synopsis: What happens when you interview AI about the Antichrist system, surveillance, deception, and the future of world control? In this episode of The Final Hour, Pastor Dave asks AI direct questions about monitoring, digital IDs, cashless systems, AI agents, smart cities, propaganda, and how technology could be used in the last days. Some of the answers were expected… but others were chilling.

AI admitted that avoiding its influence completely may no longer be realistic, that smartphones are one of the biggest sources of personal data, and that future AI systems may move from simply answering questions to taking action with minimal human oversight.

As technology advances, Christians need discernment more than ever. Are we paying attention to where this is heading? And most importantly, are we staying rooted in God’s Word?
