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:
• U.S. CENTCOM announced yesterday that forces struck Iranian targets for the 13th straight night as Israel braces for a counter attack from Iran.
• On Thursday, President Trump said Iranian money controlled by the U.S. will be used to pay for ships damaged as a result of the war in the Middle East.
• The Senate rejected a resolution calling for the U.S. to cease military action in Iran, just hours after the House passed a similar measure amid renewed hostilities following the collapse of the cease-fire.
• Marco Rubio laid down “Trump’s Law” when asked about Iran. Jim provided audio of his comments.
• Nearly 3 years after the October 7, 2023, massacre, Hamas has calmly elected a new head of its political bureau. This demonstrates that the terror group remains sufficiently organized to manage internal, political affairs, while continuing to rule much of the Gaza Strip and dictate the lives of more than 2 million Palestinians.
• The Israeli military confirmed that it’s constructing a physical barrier along the so-called “yellow line” in Gaza.
• Israel has set an election date, October 27th, for the Netanyahu government to complete its full term.
• Danny Danon, Israel’s ambassador to the U.N., commented on the mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdami, who had said he would arrest Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, when he comes to address the U.N. General Assembly.
• In a show of support for President Trump’s Middle East strategy, Bulgaria’s parliament voted Wednesday to allow the U.S. military to use the nation’s Bezmer airbase to support American operations against Iran.
• The oil producing nations of the Persian Gulf are stepping up their efforts to divert shipping away from the Strait of Hormuz where Iran has been launching terror strikes on civilian vessels.
• Iran repeatedly and reportedly has rejected a new cease-fire deal.
• President Trump paid his respects Wednesday to fallen U.S. service members during a dignified transfer at Dover Air Base in Delaware.
• The U.S. and Saudi Arabia signed an agreement on July 22nd that will allow the Gulf kingdom to develop a civilian nuclear program on its soil.
• Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega declared in a speech last Sunday that all future elections in that nation are suspended.

Now The End Begins
New Roadside Billboard Campaign Denying The Deity Of Jesus Christ Reveals A Growing Satanic Assault On The Biblical Doctrine Of God Manifest In The Flesh
Host And Founder Of ‘Now The End Begins’ Geoffrey Grider:
Jesus Christ Did Not Begin In Bethlehem: New Billboards Deny His Pre-Existence, His Deity And The Unmistakable Testimony Of Scripture
A new billboard campaign has appeared declaring, “JESUS IS NOT GOD,” followed by the equally blasphemous claim that Jesus Christ did not pre-exist in Heaven. That is not merely bad theology, it is a direct attack on the identity of the Lord Jesus Christ. The billboard says “Scripture says,” but Scripture says the exact opposite. The King James Bible declares, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Jesus did not begin in Bethlehem. Bethlehem was the place where the eternal Word was made flesh and stepped into the world He created. Jesus Christ is God the Father in a human body, take it or leave it, like it or lump it.
Jesus Christ Himself said, “I came down from heaven.” He prayed concerning the glory He possessed with the Father “before the world was.” He declared, “Before Abraham was, I am.” Paul tells us that all things in Heaven and Earth were created by Him and for Him, and that He is before all things. A man who began his existence in Mary’s womb could not have created the universe, shared glory with the Father before creation, walked with Israel in the wilderness or come down from Heaven. The billboard cannot be reconciled with the words of Christ because its message is built upon denying them.
This is how religious deception operates. It keeps the name Jesus, quotes selected verses, speaks reverently about God and then quietly replaces the biblical Christ with a counterfeit. A Jesus who is not God, did not pre-exist, did not create all things and did not come down from Heaven is the “another Jesus” that Paul warns us about. He may wear the name, but he is not the eternal Word of John chapter one, the great I AM of John chapter eight, the Creator of Colossians chapter one or God manifest in the flesh of First Timothy chapter three. Satan has always desired a Jesus without deity, a cross without saving blood and a gospel without the power to save.
The truth remains unshaken: Mary did not create Jesus Christ; she gave birth to the human body prepared for Him. The One lying in the manger was the One who made the stars shining above it. The infant wrapped in swaddling clothes was the eternal Creator entering His own creation. The Man nailed to the cross was the Lord of glory shedding His precious blood for sinners. The One who rose from the dead was not merely a prophet vindicated by God—He was God manifest in the flesh, victorious over death, Hell and the grave.
So let the billboards shout their lies from the roadside. The King James Bible answers with thunder: “The Word was God.” Jesus Christ existed before Abraham, before Mary, before Adam, before the angels and before the foundation of the world. He is the eternal Son of God, the Creator of all things, the great I AM, the crucified and risen Saviour, and the coming King. The billboard says Jesus is not God. Thomas looked upon the risen Christ and gave the only answer the Bible allows: “My Lord and my God.” That’s exactly who Jesus Christ is.

The Silence In Most Churches Regarding Our ‘Blessed Hope’ Is A Significant Mistake
By Jonathan Brentner: Many recognize the myriad of signs pointing to Jesus’ soon arrival to take us home to glory. However, as the days become weeks and then months and years, we sometimes struggle to maintain an eager anticipation of Jesus’s appearing. If you are like me, you wonder how much closer can we get to the start of the Tribulation before we meet Him in the air?
The silence in most churches regarding our “blessed hope” makes our expectation all the more difficult to maintain. Many of our Christian friends and family members believe it’s irrational to regard the Rapture as something that might happen in our lifetime, if at all. We also hear the laughter of Christians who mock our expectation of Jesus’ imminent appearing.
In spite of all these things, I remain convinced that imminency is not only important for the day in which we live, but also essential for believers regardless of the times in which we live.
I say this for a variety of reasons.

Prophecy News Watch
By PNW Staff: For nearly two thousand years, Tisha B'Av has been a day of mourning.
Jewish communities fast, pray and remember the destruction of the First and Second Temples--the sacred center of Israel's national and religious life that once stood in Jerusalem. It is a day defined by loss, exile and the painful absence of something that has never been restored.
That makes the timing of a new red heifer's birth especially striking.
Born in the Golan Heights shortly before Tisha B'Av, the calf is reportedly the second potential red heifer born in Israel within approximately six weeks. At the same time, two additional red heifers have been inseminated in Ancient Shiloh as part of a broader effort to develop a sustainable herd.
One calf does not mean the Third Temple is about to be built. But it does reveal something important: The Temple is no longer merely an ancient memory. For a growing number of Israelis, it is becoming a living dream.

NYC Landlords Sue Commie Mamdani For ‘Blatantly Illegal’ Rent Freeze
By Geller Report Staff: Good. The implementation of a rent freeze by the Communist Mayor Zohran Mamdani is an outrageous abuse of power. Mamdani’s rent freeze policy will crush landlords because it ignores rising operating expenses, inflation, taxes, etc. Thereby causing property owners to incur major losses or just go bankrupt. The irony is that a rent freeze policy will actually increase rents in New York City. That is because no rational property owner will build or expand in a city with a rent freeze policy. And when the supply of property declines the rents will go up.

Dems Dump White Voters And Create Presidential Path For AOC – And For Kamala In 2028
By Daniel Greenfield: One of the dirty tricks that the Dems pulled to create a runway for Joe Biden was rejiggering the primary calendar to move South Carolina, where he had solid black backing, and pushing aside Iowa and New Hampshire, where lefties tend to perform well.
(Dems have blamed some phantom Biden ‘inner circle’ for their own decision to run an unqualified candidate while never reckoning with their role in eliminating all Biden rivals and rigging the system for him.)
The primary calendar is important because winning an early primary or two can make or break a candidate. The calendar used to be somewhat more set, but now it’s being rejiggered yet again.
1. South Carolina
2. Nevada
3. New Hampshire
4. New Mexico
5. Michigan
6. Virginia

I Looked Into Project Stargate…
And It Wasn’t What I Thought
And It Wasn’t What I Thought
Pastor Curt Reed: What is Project Stargate and why does the same name connect an old CIA program involving remote viewing and psychic research with today’s race toward artificial intelligence? In this episode of Through the Lens, Pastor Curt Reed looks at the strange history behind Project Stargate, the rise of AI surveillance, and the darker spiritual undercurrent behind mankind’s desire for hidden knowledge and control.
Through the lens of Scripture, this episode connects Daniel, Ephesians, Revelation, and 1 John to expose the works of darkness, test the spirits, and examine how technology, government, artificial intelligence, and spiritual deception may be preparing the world for the coming Antichrist system. In dark days, believers are called to stay awake, stay grounded in God’s Word, and keep their eyes fixed on Jesus Christ.
