America’s new war in Iraq and Syria does not seem to have any chance of success. Statements in numerous papers allege that “Obama leaves behind a world of chaos”; that America “will be at war for generations to come”; that the “military campaign against ISIS will fail, possibly with disastrous consequences”; and that “the West is irrevocably set on another bloody adventure in the Middle East.” How should a true Christian view this situation? Is there ever justification for us to fight in war? We are quoting extensively from Herbert W. Armstrong’s writings on military service and war and from our free booklet, “Should You Fight in War?” We point out that historically, true Christians have steadfastly refused to fight in war—but that many nominal Christians compromised in the face of political propaganda and persecution.

America at War
It was predictable. First air strikes in Iraq; then arming Syrian rebels; now air strikes in Syria. We have entered another war, which will be disastrous for America. Those who warn against this development, such as Senator Rand Paul, are ridiculed or ignored. Promises by the Obama Administration are being broken, “convictions” are changing, an indifferent and vacationing Congress does not seem to care; and most Americans support the actions of the government, even though they feel they won’t do any good. The Bible warns us that the end of our nation is in sight, and there are reasons for this. We offer our free booklet, “The Fall and Rise of Britain and America.”

The ongoing NSA scandal has Germans up in arms. Now, further revelations of spying activities made them really angry. German officials and commentators alike speak of a huge breach of trust, accusing President Obama of incompetency or lying, and charging the USA with disdain for democratic institutions and contempt for Germany. Due to the public pressure, the German government has begun to initiate some extraordinary and unprecedented steps against the USA, showing reluctantly its willingness to get “tough.”
Download Audio Download VideoLGBT Pride, Gay Parades and the Bible
An openly transgender priest and an openly gay priest speak in the US Episcopal Church. Catholic Nancy Pelosi asks San Francisco Archbishop Cordileone, not to participate at a march for traditional marriage, as some of the participants might show hate or disdain for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) persons. President Obama designates June as LGBT Pride Month. The US Embassy in Tel Aviv raises a rainbow flag to show America’s support for the celebration of LGBT Pride Week and the biggest gay parade in the Middle East. Those who dare to criticize these developments are labeled as despisers of mankind and in violation of democratic values. Did you know that God condemns all of this very strongly in His Word, the Bible?

Vladimir Putin is winning, but WHY? Does God tell us in the Bible? WHY do we see increased collaboration between Russia, China, Japan and India? WHY does Putin reassert itself in Afghanistan and Latin America? WHY do most Americans refuse to see the parallels between Putin’s annexation of Crimea and Hitler’s land grab of Sudetenland? WHY do German companies and many Germans express understanding or even support for Putin? WHY is Russia winning in the Middle East?
Download Audio Download VideoThe Prophetic Rise of the Eurozone
In President Obama’s State of the Union Address 2014, little was said about foreign policy and nothing was mentioned regarding Europe and the Eurozone. However, the Bible shows us the tremendous importance of developments in Europe, which will negatively affect the USA in unprecedented ways. While President Obama’s disappointing speech “without vision and new ideas” (Die Welt) made a fleeting and passing comment on the NSA spying activities, Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel rebuked him strongly the next day in her major speech to Parliament, stating that Europe and the USA are “far apart on the ethical question of freedom versus security in state surveillance” (The Local). The prophesied rift between continental Europe and the USA will continue to widen.

This week, an “historical deal” was struck between Iran and certain super powers. But how long will the “Geneva agreement” last? While some praise it as a tremendous success, the cautious voices are worth listening to. Is the deal the first step to make the world safer, or is it a further step towards its destruction?
We explain in our free booklet, “Middle Eastern and African Nations in Bible Prophecy” that Iran-biblical Elam-will be involved in a war against Israel; and that it will also form an alliance with Russia against Europe.
Download Audio Download VideoSpying in Satan’s World
America’s habitual spying activities on friends and allies have caused an unprecedented worldwide uproar. Especially Europeans are in arms. The blame game is continuing, misrepresentations and hypocrisy prevail, and the Germans have lost confidence in President Obama, who is perceived as having lied or being hopelessly ignorant in the matter, while some American politicians are defending NSA’s conduct. In this world, spying activities and falsehoods are one of Satan’s major devices. The Bible shows that just prior to Christ’s return, a war between Europe and the USA will break out, and wars start with words. We are in the preliminary stages of this development, leading to the Great Tribulation.
Download Audio Download VideoAmerica Is Politically Bankrupt
The temporary shutdown of the American government is strongly condemned by the worldwide community. Many feel that America cannot be saved; that America’s democracy is falling; and that America is politically bankrupt. Sadly, the Bible agrees with this assessment. The ill-conceived Obamacare or “Affordable” Care Act and its terrible “implementation” is only one symptom, exemplifying the fact that promises of politicians cannot be relied on. It is high time that God the
Father sends His Son Jesus Christ to our earth to make an end to man’s mismanagement and to restore the Kingdom of God and establish righteous rule on this planet.
Watch Germany as the World’s New Leader
Washington is pushing Germany “to take on a greater global leadership role”, while America abrogates its leadership position. Germany’s disappointment with the USA and President Obama is growing. Germany is still a reluctant giant, but it has begun to assert itself “with the creeping recovery of self-confidence.” It is now being asserted that history has given Germany “a mandate to play an influential role in all of the world’s affairs”; that “the role of being an active player falls on” it; and that “the rest of the world is waiting for Germany.”
