While America tears itself apart internally, an unnoticed external enemy is emerging that will ultimately contribute to America’s downfall and destruction. We speak of Europe under German leadership.

“Trump Meets Germany’s Chancellor Merz—What Was Most Critical?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary: 

The long-awaited meeting between German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Donald Trump has happened in the Oval Office. Merz had been encouraged not to appear as “supplicant,” but to stand up to Trump. However, most critical topics were not discussed, and Trump did most of the talking.

One comment by Trump stands out which, in the light of biblical prophecy, was of paramount importance.

“The Foundation,” the Offertory for Pentecost presented by Frank Bruno, is now posted. Here is the summary:

As we observe Pentecost, we are reminded of the gift of the Holy Spirit that true Christians receive when they are called to repentance and become baptized. We also know that this brings a responsibility in that we agree to commit our lives to God and His Son, Jesus Christ. While we remain imperfect human beings, we now have the Spirit to help guide our steps. This of course entails obedience to God and His commandments. This is the foundation of our faith and the reason that we make an offering to God on His Holy Days such as Pentecost.

“On All Flesh,” the sermon for Pentecost presented by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is the summary:

On the day of Pentecost following the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the gift of the Holy Spirit was a surprise to the Christians gathered together for worship. Yet, that gift was prophesied for all mankind. What is God’s plan for all? What does the Bible reveal about who will have the opportunity for salvation? How does it relate to the Feast of Pentecost?

Hatred for the State of Israel and the Jews in general is spreading.

What we have been announcing for decades is coming true right now: God is being ignored—in political life and in science, with Orthodox Christianity in total defiance of biblical Truth.

What are the essential requirements for receiving the Holy Spirit?

“Pope Leo’s Demand of ‘Unity in Faith!’” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

We are told that Pope Leo XIV has become the most important American in the world. We are also confronted with his declaration that unity among Christians can only be unity in faith. In saying this, he referred to the 1,700th anniversary of the Council of Nicea. What was that council; what did it decide; and what were the consequences for those who did not agree with that decision? Could something similar happen again in the future?

“The Constitution Under Attack—Comments on News and Prophecy, May 17, 2025,” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

The current administration has applied the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deportations of aliens. Is this law constitutional, and if it is, can it be legally used as a basis for such deportations? The US Supreme Court has had opportunity twice to look into this question, but has sidestepped it. 

The current administration is considering suspending habeas corpus. Would this be constitutional? Are the administration’s attacks against lawyers and judges constitutional? Is a recent executive order ending birthright citizenship constitutional? The US Supreme Court heard oral arguments this week on this and related issues. How will they decide—or will they sidestep this important issue as well?

Do these and many more developments in the legal field threaten our liberties and freedoms, as well as our democracy and the US Constitution?
