In this program, we cover deeply disturbing attacks on liberties and freedoms in Europe, especially in France and Germany, as well as Europe’s “lust for war” and the question whether the euro is becoming an alternative to the US Dollar.

God’s glory is revealed in the creation of the magnificent universe. AND, in His prophecies for our time—even in connection with developments which we might not even think of. This program evaluates both mind-boggling aspects.

Even before April 2, drastic tariffs had been imposed by Trump on certain nations. On “Liberation Day,” these tariffs were largely increased for virtually ALL countries. What have been the reactions so far, and what might the consequences be? Most importantly, what does God tell us in His Word, the Holy Bible?

Voices in Europe are describing the USA as their enemy. The USA describes the EU as “freeloaders” which has harmed and abused America. We are discussing the Chat Group fiasco; immigration and punitive tariffs, without taking ANY position as to who may be right or wrong, while showing that wars indeed begin with words.

Will Putin agree to a ceasefire and perhaps even to the end of the war between Russia and Ukraine? Many doubt this. Still, the end of that war will come, but not now; not in ways most expect or anticipate; and not due to “negotiations” between Trump and Putin. What does this all mean for YOU? What does GOD tell us about war in general, and this war in particular?

In this program, we describe a frightening development that we’ve been predicting for a long time. Until recently, most people weren’t willing to believe that something like this was possible, but today, for some, things are looking different.

With Friedrich Merz’s election victory, will there be a new sheriff in Berlin? It is assumed that he will become the new Chancellor, and coalition negotiations with the defeated left-leaning SPD are underway; because he currently does not want to enter into a coalition with the right-wing AfD. But what might happen in the future? And who is Merz anyway? What does he stand for, und what is his past?

JD Vance’s “glorious” speech during the Security Conference in Munich about some terrible conditions has angered many German and European politicians. He showed them a mirror, but they were unwilling to look into it. The alienation between the USA and Europe deepened when Trump called Putin and when the Americans and Russians met in Saudi Arabia, but without the Europeans and Zelensky. It reached a boiling point when Trump accused Ukraine of having started the war with Russia. The writing is on the wall. Can you read it?

Trump announced that he wants the USA to take and own Gaza, demolish it completely, and rebuild and create a prosperous place.  But how realistic are those plans? What does the Bible say about Gaza’s future… and the future of America?

The speed with which Trump has operated since becoming president is mind-boggling. What lies behind this, and what motivates him? And how do we explain his actions and plans regarding tariffs against Mexico, Canada, China and Europe, as well as an American takeover of Gaza, in the light of biblical prophecy?

Trump has made clear that he wants the USA to acquire Greenland. He stated that he wants to purchase it, threatens with tariffs, and does not rule out a military invasion. Greenland, Denmark and the rest of Western Europe are extremely concerned. What will happen, and what will the consequences be in the light of biblical prophecy?

How serious are President Trump’s statements regarding the Panama Canal, that the USA will “take it back”? Apart from human ideas, what does the Bible say about it? Is it even possible that, according to Scripture, the Panama Canal—an important and vital sea gate–will end up again in American hands?

Will the deal between Israel and Hamas last? Will it bring back the hostages? Will it end the war and bring peace? Do you know what the elements and conditions of the deal are? COULD it even be successful? Is it a good for Israel, America, Europe and the entire world? Does the Bible have something to say about all of this?

While the world is watching with horror the terrible deadly wildfires in Los Angeles, another wildfire is burning in Germany which most people don’t even recognize as such. Many Germans realize that “a lot of things are wrong in Germany,” but hypocritical politicians are afraid to address the causes and are fighting instead for their survival by opposing whoever stands in their way, including Elon Musk, the right-wing AfD and Musk’s interview with AfD’s Alice Weidel. But this ridiculous approach will backfire.

WAS THERE a connection between these three attacks? Do the FACTS support such a conclusion? And if so, WHO was behind it? The answer may perhaps surprise you.

First, we experienced a chaotic week on Capitol Hill with ridiculous proposals, resulting in a stopgap funding bill to avoid a shutdown. Then, we were informed about the unbelievable waste of American taxpayers’ money in 2024 for useless and godless projects while the US national debt is steadily climbing. This program lists some examples of “frivolous government spending” while many, also in light of heavy taxes, are struggling to make ends meet.  

The many sightings of drones hovering over America and its military bases are no laughing matter, nor are these drones harmless. We are told that they don’t pose a danger to national security, but those assurances don’t ring true. Nor are opinions that they do not come from a foreign “enemy.” Reviewing the available evidence, what conclusions CAN we come to in regard to these drones? And what does this all mean?

The civil war in Syria has never stopped. But most recent events stunned the world. What happened, why, and what is Styria’s future? Many celebrate most current developments, but their celebration might be terribly premature.

A non-religious publication wrote in a recent article that “experts say that every image you’ve seen of Jesus is almost certainly inaccurate.” It then explains what Jesus did look like—something which the Church of God has been teaching for almost a century. In this program, we quote from the article and make additional comments, and we offer in a short video at the end of this program a free booklet on the Jesus of the Bible. We also point out that, apart from the question as to what Jesus looked like, the important question arises as to how He lived while here on earth, what He stood for, and what He taught.

Nuclear World War III is coming, but not in the way most suspect. Still, the terrible recent developments involving the war between Russia and Ukraine – and the conduct of Western nations, including the USA and Britain – have brought the “spectre of a nuclear holocaust ever closer” (Daily Mail, November 19). And what can we say about “Biden’s Missile Crisis?,” as Democratic author Dennis J. Kucinich described it?
