Current Events
by Norbert Link
We report on [sometimes violent] protests against the Trump immigration policy which started in Los Angeles but are now spreading throughout the land. This development has been described as “extremely dangerous” warning of an impending “civil war.”
In other news, we speak on the Biden health coverup which has been characterized as “worse than Watergate.” We also address the speculation that Washington had perhaps planned to humiliate German Chancellor Friedrich Merz during his visit to the Oval Office. Please view in this regard our message, titled, “Trump Meets Merz—What Happened Behind the Scenes? Comments on News and Prophecy, June 7, 2025.”
We conclude by focusing on Germany’s move towards compulsory military service and its military goals. Please view our new StandingWatch program, titled, “Why Should YOU Be Concerned? Conscription in Germany!”
Throughout this section, we have underlined pertinent statements in the quoted articles, for the convenience and quick overview of the reader.

What Is Truth?
When Jesus was standing before Pilate, He made the comment that He was born and came into the world that He should bear witness to the Truth, and that everyone who is of the Truth hears Him. Pilate then asked a question sarcastically, without wanting an answer, “What is truth?” (Compare John 18:37-38.)

God’s Church must be different. A warning must be given, and God expects and requires of His Church to do so. And so, God demands of His Church to plead the cause of the needy and to show the leaders of our nations and the people following our leaders their sins with the hope that they will repent and turn. Isaiah 58:1 says:
