“Why This Hatred for Israel and the Jews?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

Hatred for the State of Israel and the Jews in general is spreading. Now, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has also attacked Israel “more harshly than any German Chancellor before him.” But some believe his criticism was unbalanced, hurtful, and disappointing. Why is this so? And what should we make of the international “lying press” that demonizes Israel and stirs up anti-Semitism?

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. While Israel is being isolated and the American Empire is failing, Germany intends to become Europe’s leader, with Britain’s downfall and its surrender to Europe continuing.

“Why So Many False Teachings About the Holy Spirit?” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is the summary:

Why is the doctrine of the Trinity unbiblical and extremely dangerous, regardless of whether one believes in Greek Orthodox or Roman Catholic doctrine? What is the Holy Spirit, and did people in the Old Testament have it within them? What about Christians in the New Testament? Can one receive the Holy Spirit if one sins—sometimes seriously? 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?

“Consider This…” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Brian Gale, is now posted. Here is the summary:

The concept of free speech has been pushed to the limits. People claim the right to say anything, anywhere and at any time, and choosing to only speak the truth may seem irrelevant, but it isn’t to God!

“The AfD Classification and Germany’s Attack on Freedom of Speech,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

Germany’s classification of the AfD as a “right-wing extremist party” by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution has been sharply criticized by the US government. Many voices in Germany and Austria are also criticizing the decision, calling it a political maneuver, an attack on freedom of expression, and a serious state crisis of civil rights. This puts Chancellor Friedrich Merz under pressure. The AfD can only benefit from all of this, especially given the weak coalition of the CDU/CSU and the SPD.

“Trump’s Peace Plan—A Failure!” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is the summary:

WHY is Trump’s peace plan for the Russian-Ukrainian war a complete failure? WHY was it doomed from the start? And WHY should this have been obvious to all involved if only they had understood and heeded biblical prophecies? And regardless of the Bible, WHY should the failure of the peace plan have been recognized if more weight had been given to recent history and the statements of those involved?

Pope Francis aroused much anger and fury within the Catholic Church, dividing the Church between the “reform-oriented group” and the “traditionalists.” This program addresses the main disputes and wonders what position the next pope will adopt.

When will their resurrection from the dead take place?

Rubies as gemstones have been prized by kings and craftsmen for many years. Various Scriptures place value on qualities such as wisdom and integrity above that of these gemstones.

“Do We Really Need to Keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread?” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Brian Gale, is now posted. Here is the summary:

The annual festivals pictured events of historic importance to ancient Israel, and today to the true Christian.

“Generosity,” the Offertory presented on the First Day of Unleavened Bread by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is the summary:

The Feast of Unleavened Bread is a commanded Holy Day when God instructs His people to appear with an offering. The offering we give reflects our gratitude and love for God. As we give, we should consider what it reveals about our heart. When done well, our act of giving will delight God and bring us joy as well. Giving from the abundance of our heart pleases God tremendously.

How is the shed blood of Christ fundamentally different from the blood of animal sacrifices in the Old Testament? What was the purpose of animal sacrifices and the blood of the Passover lamb? How was all of this misunderstood by Israel? Can we, by consuming wine as a symbol of Christ’s blood, make the same mistake? This sermon will show that Christ’s shed blood is necessary for our salvation and why it is so precious and priceless.

In light of most recent developments in the USA, foreign tourists, as well as legal temporary or permanent residents (“Green card holders”), are concerned as never before.

Vance’s visit to Greenland; the dictatorship of Turkey’s PM Erdogan; Putin’s unacceptable demands; and LA Mayor Bass’s failure to issue building permits to fire victims, contrary to what she has promised.

The false prophet who will perform lying signs and wonders! Who will be possessed! Who will stand in the temple of God and claim to be God! Who will lead a large religious organization! Who is this person, and with what other name is he designated in the Bible? What organization will he lead, and how is it described in the Bible? What is the abomination of desolation, and what other abominations will there be in Jerusalem?
