By Robert Anthony June 15th 2024   This Father’s Day I want to encourage Godly Manhood!   In fact I have been encouraging God-made manhood for many years now.  I have to report honestly that this has been the most controversial part of my preaching for something like 20 years.  You would think those who run the churches would welcome a man who is speaking the word of God, admonishing the men further into the things of God, but no… this ministry has been not only unappreciated but warred against I would estimate 9 times out of 10 throughout the churches.    Why would any church-leader have trouble with the men having authority, with the men being powerful, with the men being full of God’s fiery love and therefore… ALIVE!!?  What could possibly be the reason church leaders would strive against such a thing? Men, God created you to rule .  Technically the women were created to rule also but for this time men have been given the charge to lead, to lead the families, to lead the churches… Men were commanded all throughout the New Testament to lead (and not just the pastors or clergy).  And it all began, in the beginning.   Adam was given authority over all God’s earth and then He was alone with God for a time.  Later, God gave Him a helpmate/help-meet, Eve (and Adam named her, “the mother of all living”).  Even how God made Eve is allegorical of a woman’s authority and power, coming out of the man.  God took Adam’s rib and fashioned the woman.  It’s all right there in the beginning with that first family.  Adam’s authority coming from God and then the woman’s authority coming from God/Adam together.  Even the curse explains this in further detail, Genesis 3:16, “Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be  to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. ”  But again, in eternity everyone will be made new, we will all be “sons of God” – priests and kings unto Christ.  In eternity there will be no more male and female but only the “sons of God”. Warring against our design and the spirit within us (make or female) is to war against God. (Maybe, consider this for a moment.)  For a man to refuse to lead His family (especially to God) is a man refusing His God-given responsibility.  For a woman to refuse to follow her husband (especially to God) is for a woman to refuse her God-given role.  So, simply put, our families are broken because we don’t believe and then follow the word of God. Here is a longer article I have written on the subject that goes into all of this much deeper:   Brothers, that thing inside of us that wants to protect and cover and lead our wives and children is God-given.  Now obviously we need to become good-leaders, obviously there is a way to do this in love and all the things of love and there is a way to do this totally wrong.  And there are many who like to point out our shortcomings. Over the years I have heard many even from the pulpits pointing out our struggles to love them perfectly, making mention of how we have failed them throughout our past.  But it’s hard to lead.  Especially at first.  Many of us were never shown (from our dads, mentors, etc.) good and Godly leadership in the home.  For many of us we are literally completely unaware of how to do this (But the Holy Spirit will help us). Let us not be too hard on ourselves as we fail… and we ALL Fail sometimes. The early years of my marriage I was very harsh with my precious wife.  I had a rather short fuse and would not allow her much room to emote or complain, I was impatient and easily agitated but I have changed, by the power of God, Praise Him!  I am not that man anymore.  But it’s still hard.  Our marriages are under constant assault from the enemy.  He has had this plan all along, destroy the families and he will destroy the world.    Look at what Ephesians said, Chapter 5, Paul literally writes to us about HOW we are to love our wives.  We all know to love them, but How !?  Paul explains it in detail, verses 25-28, “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it; that He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.”   I hope you see Paul’s message clearly.  What I just read told me to keep my wife holy, to keep her blameless and faultless before God’s throne… Paul said basically nothing about affection or romance or buying her things, but he absolutely told the men, “Keep your women holy!”   Not in Bible College, not in church, not in any marriage class did I ever hear such a thing.  The very simple teaching we have from the word of God is… “Keep your women blameless, set apart and holy.”  And this is what it is to love them!  Amen? It’s really true!  Bring sin and iniquity into the house, men and you will destroy your family quickly.  Bring various sins and lusts of the flesh and lusts of the world and the pride of life into your home… and watch everything fall apart.  Allow your wife to rule the family!?  Watch everything unravel, watch your children depart from the things of God as your generations become an easy target for the enemy as you refuse your God-given role to lead.  We were made to cover them, brothers.  We were made to have authority and protection over our children and to teach them, to lead them in this Godly way.   Many of our children have departed the things of God simply because the fathers would not take their place and lead them.  And to lead is a part of what it is for a man to love.  How do you have authority over your garden?  Well, if I stomp my garden, if I refuse to water it and allow the weeds to grow up and choke it out, it will die.  But if I, with great care and diligence, tend to my garden, watch over it, one might even say, love my garden… my garden will flourish!  This is allegorical of what it is to use our God-given authority… to rule them, to have authority over them is fundamentally, to love them .   If our hearts have grown hard, repent .  If we have ruined many relationships because of the hardness of our hearts, cry out to our God and He will heal us!  Listen to what He promised us thru the prophets, “I will take out your stony heart and I will give you a heart of flesh and blood” a heart that can break, heart that feels, a new heart, a good heart !   One time in prayer God said, “Robert, I can do many things but I can’t force a man to have a good heart.”  Quite profound!  God will not force anyone to be good.  If a man is content to destroy, to hate, to live in anger and vengeance, if I man loves evil and hates what is good, then his heart will grow hard like a flint stone and God will not force anyone to change.  Everyone has been given the power and authority to choose.  All of us. And God will not trample that freedom.   The Good News is, God wants to work with our hearts, He wants to work with our souls and make us good again, even like children, innocent and pure, trusting, trustworthy, hopeful and full of joy!  We can return.  Jesus told us, “Truly I say unto you, Except you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.”  So we must allow the goodness of God in.  We must allow God to change us, even at the depths of our very being… and we must lead our families!   But where will we lead them?  With hardened or broken hearts, with iniquity and sin, with all the unforgiveness and bitterness - Where we will lead those who are most precious to us!!?  We must become something new if we are going to lead those we love the most into the blessing! Most men on their death beds are filled with regret and shame.  And why?  Because they can see their life so clearly laying there, about to pass into eternity – and suddenly they can take an accurate account of themselves and their choices.  All these rich and powerful men say similar things, they call them deathbed confessions and these always have to do with the family.  If only I had loved them better … they all come to the same conclusion - they should have loved their families better. But brothers, let’s not wait until we are on our deathbeds to repent and change!  Let’s become something New and Wonderful and Worthy, and Powerful in God’s love, TODAY!!  Let this be our Father’s Day gift – that we are going to learn to walk with God like never before, that we are going to love our families like never before, that we are going to remove sin and godlessness from our homes today and we are going to lead our families with our whole hearts into God’s love and perfection!  This most certainly is the greatest blessing - to lead our families in holiness and to come and walk with God!   And we can not do it alone.  We will need our God and Father but we will also need our brothers.  We were never supposed to try and do this alone.  God is our Father.  And He gave us brothers.  I hope this encourages you men.  Time is short.  You can see it all over the world: as we just lived thru Covid, as something like WW3 seems to be starting, as there is economic turmoil, political turmoil, weather turmoil, it’s all happening just as the Lord said it would.  There has never been a better time to love these who are most precious to us!! We can do it, Men!  We are not alone! God will lead us throw this mess We don’t have to live afraid. Our Father is All-Powerful. Let’s come to Him anew And let Him teach us anew to lead them… Amen!!? And then… GOD'S VERY BEST WILL FINALLY COME!!I love you brothers. Happy Father’s Day. Robert. (A Great Fathers Day Praise Song!)

By Robert Anthony June 22nd 2024 (A depiction of Elijah being taken to heaven, escaping death altogether, Elisha is watching) The Fundamentals of Revival Series Part Five: "The spirit of Elijah has Always been a Harbinger for the End" Malachi 4:5,6 “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.”   Harbinger: “a person who goes ahead and makes known the approach of another; a herald.  anything that foreshadows a future event; an omen; a sign.”     Elijah (and his spirit) has been a harbinger  for the end several times in history already.   The first time Elijah and his spirit came to the earth it was about 870 BC.  In his time The Promised Land had already split into two nations, Israel to the north and Judah to the south, Elijah ministered to Israel in the north.  Israel’s sins were terrible, especially during Elijah’s time when Jezebel was ruling Israel with her husband Ahab.  It was a very wicked and sinful time for the kingdom of Israel, perhaps it’s darkest time ever. (For those of you that don’t know the story of Elijah, his story begins in I Kings 17, I encourage you all to read it even before reading this article.)   Elijah became a harbinger for the end of the northern kingdom of Israel.  He prophesied and warned them what would become of their nation and people should they refuse to repent and change from worshiping idols, and worse.  Elijah was entirely a harbinger unto Israel, warning them of certain destruction should they not relent.  In 722 BC the Assyrian army came for a final conclusive battle against Israel and entirely wiped them out!  Some estimate as many as 30-50 Million Israeli’s were killed during that time.  The remaining Israelites, the few left that they did not kill, were brought back to Nineveh, the Assyrian Capital, as their slaves.  And many of you Bible scholars are aware that John the Baptist, according to Jesus and His angel, came in the spirit and power of Elijah!  Therefore, John the Baptist could be considered Elijah number two, correct?  And if John the Baptist was in fact Elijah number two?  Was John the Baptist a harbinger for a final judgment of God towards Israel??    John was born sometime around 3 BC.  His message was simple, “Repent and turn from your wicked ways, and God will heal your land.” He said it over and again but also prophesied of the coming of the Son of God.  “Whose sandals,” he said, “I am not worthy to unloose.”  The gospels together all tell a wonderful and detailed story of John the Baptist, Jesus even exalted him above all the Old Testament prophets when he said, “Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist…”. John’s importance is often overshadowed by Jesus, the Messiah, and His ministry and for obvious reasons.  But the importance of this prophet must not be overlooked.   Did they repent from the preaching of Elijah?  No.  Perhaps a small group of them did and maybe a larger portion for a short season but in the end, the people of Israel continued to sin.  So, the Lord God allowed an enemy to come and destroy their land.  And John the Baptist was also a harbinger, preaching repentance and warning of “The Wrath to Come”.  And yet was there a revival?  Was there true repentance among the Jews for the saving of a nation and its people?  Clearly not.  They crucified the Son of God, which was a witness against them.   And John’s unheeded warnings came to pass, just as did Elijah’s.  In 70 AD the Roman army came, quite upset with the Jews and almost entirely destroyed Jerusalem.  Just as Jesus said of their temple, “Not one stone was left upon another… for all shall be throne down.”  The Romans literally tore that temple apart stone by stone and brick by brick!  Thus, the fulfillment of John’s ministry was revealed when that generation of Jews refused to repent, killed the Son of God and receive their just reward for that terrible transgression against God and His Son.   But in context, Malachi was not exactly prophesying about John the Baptist.  In context (read it again above), Malachi is clearly referring to the end of days, the time before God comes to judge the entirety of the earth, those who are in it and everything built upon it.  Therefore, Elijah must come a third time , or the spirit of Elijah must come a third time.  And he will be heralding as another harbinger, the time of the end.  He will be the key harbinger, again, making the way for the Son of God’s triumphant return!  Just as John the Baptist came, “To prepare the way of the Lord”, Elijah, and/or his spirit, will return to the earth, to prepare the Lord’s way once more.     Well, has Elijah returned to us?  Let us investigate.  Elijah’s ministry was about what, according to Malachi and then the angel Gabriel?  “He would turn the hearts of the children to their fathers and the hearts of the fathers to their children…” But at first glance, this prophecy may seem almost insignificant.  Of all the things this mighty man could do before God why, turning the hearts of the children to their fathers and vice versa?    When a society breaks down and falls apart doesn’t it all start at home?  The degradation of the family is certainly the necessary beginning for the demise of a society.  In fact, it could be said, as the family goes, so goes the nation!  But the opposite is also true, a thriving nation must also be filled with thriving families.  A thriving church… must also be filled with thriving families.  A thriving organization must be full of thriving individuals, and so on.    It can therefore be surmised, once the families fall into sin, corruption, hopelessness, lovelessness, etc. they die.  And the death of God’s created families will always come before the collapse and death of a nation.   It's not hard to see what is happening around us.  The families have been under attack for nearly a century.  What started slowly absolutely picked up pace after WW2.  Women started to leave their homes for work, children started being raised by government schools and divorce rates started to skyrocket.  The 1950’s and 60’s all throughout the world were a time of tremendous and unparalleled economic success, growth and opportunity ruled the day but they were also the years the families began to fall apart.  The 70’s, 80’s and 90’s saw unparalleled rates of divorce -rates perhaps never before seen on the earth !       But there seems to be a growing trend right now to save the marriages.  Younger generations are hesitant to get married but once they do, they are staying married better when compared with the generation before them.  Surprising, right?  I can’t help but wonder what changed?      It’s a time of extremely polar opposites that we are living in, on the one hand there is this horrible movement to destroy the traditional family altogether: radical abortion laws being passed at throughout the leftist states, the activist-LGBTQ movement, the things pertaining to genetic engineering and DNA manipulation, the government schools undermining the family unit with many of their agenda’s, etc. but there is also something quite different and astounding happening in the hearts and minds of these younger generations, driving divorce rates down!?   There is a new generation of young people who, although they might reject religion, want to remain married!   Perhaps this is some proof that the spirit of Elijah is among us!?   Malachi tells us Elijah will come before the great and dreadful day of the Lord!  And he will, do what exactly?  Another way of saying, “turn the hearts of the fathers and children and the hearts of the children to their fathers” is to say, “Elijah will restore the broken families!!”  Elijah, and/or the spirit of Elijah and his last days ministry, according to scripture, will bring about the restoration of the broken families and simultaneously preparing the way of the Lord.  And just as the first Elijah was a harbinger for the impending destruction of Israel, just as the second (spirit of) Elijah was a harbinger for the impending destruction of Jerusalem and its temple, the third Elijah will herald the end of the age – the coming of Messiah to the earth to rule and reign!   With very little effort we can see the whole prophesy playing out before our very eyes.  The spirit of Elijah is among us, telling the men to repent, telling the fathers to go after their children and win their generations!  The spirit of Elijah is among us, telling the children to repent and humble themselves, to return to the God of their fathers and become new.  The spirit of Elijah is telling the men to repent, hurry up and become good husbands and leaders of your families!  For soon and very soon you will stand before the Lord of glory, and what will you say to Him?!  The spirit of Elijah is upon the earth, telling the wives, “Submit to your husbands, as unto the Lord” and in so doing you please your Father in heaven.  The spirit of Elijah is here to restore all things and make ready a people to present to the Lord…But the remaining question is, Who among us will listen?   If we, fathers, cannot win our  families unto righteousness, the Bible says, we are unworthy of being in any leadership role within the Church.  The spirit of Elijah is here telling the fathers, it is your responsibility to lead the church and to encourage your brothers onward to their Father.  Should the spirit of Elijah succeed in restoring the families, the Church will suddenly come alive!  Should we, each, individually, turn our hearts towards our fathers, and turn our hearts towards our children – the God might see us from heaven and push back this destined end of this world, even for another generation!  We absolutely have a role to play in the history that is being written right now.   Again, if we cannot honor our parents, if we cannot raise our children in the way of the Lord, if we cannot obey the word of God, especially as it pertains to the families, how could we ever expect that God might stave off the end and give us more time?  Our churches, our government, our society is broken because we left the way of God and brought this rebellion and iniquity into our own homes .  Had we kept our homes holy, had we kept our families rooted in the word of God, had we stayed faithful to this New Covenant – we would have seen the salvation of the Lord, even with our own eyes!  But recent generations have refused.   But this  generation must return to the foundations of truth, to the foundations of the gospel, to the fundamentals of the things which God has given to us.  The Word, who was revealed in Christ Jesus, is the rock - and a wise man builds his house upon the rock.  The foolish man builds his house upon the sand.  Every household, every family that is built upon the rock will last, even thru the storms, even thru the tests of time.    Our Father has only good plans for us, brothers and sisters, but who will listen?  Do the churches even want His Word anymore being proclaimed among the gathering?  And what of His Spirit?  Is the Spirit of God even welcomed anymore among our fellowships?  We should repent for these things Church, especially the leadership.  We must turn back to the foundations , return to the beginnings of our faith, then God will restore our families and the Church will come to thrive anew!  But without this sure foundation, all hope is lost, there is no lasting structure we can build that will remain.  There is nothing else for us to unite around, no other vision, no other hope.   I pray this message penetrates our hearts, especially the hearts of the men.  What will we say to God brothers?  If we did not love our families?  If we brought a myriad of sins and iniquities into our own homes, if we warred against the God of heaven and refused His love and truth?  If we refused to lead our families in the way that they should go, unto God?  Come that day, what will we say?  But I’m writing to encourage us all now, so that we might be able to say to Him, “I loved that woman you gave me with all my heart for all the days of my life, I raised my children in the way that they should walk with You, I told everyone who wanted to hear about the gospel and the salvation of God and I never denied Your name.”    And if we can live unto Him these humble foundations, Certainly God can bring us life and life more abundantly, An abundant life wherein we are worthy of being called the children of God !   It is never too late to repent, men. There is always hope with our Father. He never ever, ever  gives up on us.   We might give up on ourselves, But our Father will never stop pursuing us He’ll never give up trying to win us back, So that we might be restored to Him, forever!   Return to Him, brothers and sisters He will restore everything He has such great plans for our lives! We cannot even imagine the things that our Father is capable of doing for His own children.   I hope this encourages you all…If we can win our families Perhaps we can win a generation!?   If we can win a generation Perhaps God see our good works from heaven And give us more time to preach His holy salvation! And WIN SOULS!!   (“He who wins souls is wise…”)   Amen?   And it all begins at home.   "If You haven’t sent him yet Send the spirit of Elijah to us Father! Restore our broken homes. Revive our families…"   "Amen." I love you brothers and sisters. With all my heart.   Yours in Christ,   Robert Anthony.     (A Great Song to go along with the Article. Don Potter!

By Robert Anthony May 13th 2024   (Originally Posted at WND.com - https://www.wnd.com/2024/05/will-american-jews-stay-blue-november/ ) Writing some notes for this article, I was shocked to learn how far back the Jews have had left leaning politics!  I have long known that the majority of the Jews vote blue/left throughout Jewish history in America but I was shocked to learn how large a majority!  In 2018 midterms it was nearly 80% of the Jews voting Blue ! ( Here is the Wikipedia article on the subject. ).  But I was almost more shocked to learn that the Jews have been voting left-progressive, even since the mid-19th century! ( Here is that article about their political history. )   After spending several hours throughout the day getting up to speed on this, I am getting more and more aware of a surprising fact, the Jews with only 2% of the US population largely helped to create the Democrat Party as we know it today !  The facts surrounding Jewish politics are quite surprising to me.    Perhaps I viewed the Jews as more politically-right because I was never into politics and often viewed the Jewish people as religious and conservative but no, that is not the case in America.  I lived in Israel for 6 months and traveled much of my time in country.  I found the Israeli’s to be a rather conservative people, more or less, and would guess Israel to have a majority conservative population but that too has not been the case, not until recently anyways.  Israel, as a nation, has recently and dramatically shifted into a conservative nation and now with Hamas, Hezbollah and enemies attacking them daily, even moreso. ( Here is an interesting article on the subject. ) I can’t help but ponder what will become of the Jewry in America coming into the 2024 election.  The bastion of progressive-liberalism in America has obviously been our world-famous universities, and for quite some time now.  More than Wall Street, Big Media, Big Pharma or even Big Tech., the stronghold for the progressive movement has remained America’s institutions of higher education for really two generations now, almost three.  So to Jewish-America I would ask, What are you going to do now?  Now that you see these institutions turn against you , even as a people, with such extreme bigotry, angst and intolerance – the very institutions once pining for tolerance – what will become of your politics?   Another quite interestingly policy issue among the left leaning Jews to me is, Abortion . Now, the Bible is entirely Pro-Life, so how the Jews could champion a political party so nonchalant and even cavalier about taking an unborn life is difficult for me to understand.  The Bible warns over and again about homosexuality, it teaches in detail about marriage (being between a man and woman) and has many other laws pertaining to sex and how to remedy illicit-sexual activity throughout Judaism and within Israel.  One would think the Jews would abstain from supporting the whole of the LGBTQ movement but instead they are some of its greatest champions!?  They have a long and famous history of being gifted bankers, businessmen, entrepreneurs, inventors, etc. one would think their fiscal policy would be quite conservative but throughout US history it is quite the contrary.  Nearly every modern liberal policy seems to be a violation of what the Jews hold dear, and yet the Jews still vote overwhelmingly, Blue ?   But now the Jews have come to a cross-road.  For one, classic liberalism is all but dead at this point.  Sure, RFK Jr. and a few relics throughout the Democrat Party are trying to bring about a classical-liberal revival but the purveying crowd against them has grown far too loud.  So the Jews are left with the new Woke-Progressive Democrat Party that is looking more and more Socialist-Marxist and anti-Israel by the day… or they can totally abandon ship.   I think to myself, “What must be going thru Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders, Michael Bloomberg, Tony Blinken, Janet Yellen, Merrick Garland, Josh Shapiro (PA), Jared Polis (CO), Josh Green (HI), JB Pritzker (IL) and so many other high-ranking Democrat-Jewish minds watching this country turning increasingly antisemitic, and practically overnight!?”  Has it not been more than 80 years since antisemitism has been found among their ranks?  Do they not take great pride in being the party of inclusion and equity ?  And yet suddenly Israel, as a nation and a people, is being cancelled .   I suppose it would be possible for the Jewish Democrats to abandon Israel in her hour of need so as to avoid a civil war within their own party but how many of these same Jews have family who have immigrated to Israel and perhaps living in country for generations now?  How many of these high-profile Jews in Hollywood, Wall Street and DC have intimate ties with Israeli businesses, years long relationships in country, perhaps even owning property there and then of course, agreeing quite frequently as they make a toast at Hanukah or Passover, “Next Year in Jerusalem!”  The intimate ties among even the reformed Jews in America with Israel cannot be overstated, let alone the deep-seated and unbreakable loyalty of the Orthodox-community throughout the US and their undying devotion to the Jewish state.  Is it even possible for the Jews in America to unravel themselves from Israel?  The university protestors seem to understand this glaring reality better than anyone, and you can hear it in their chanting.   This election cycle is shaping up to be without a doubt one for the history books!  It will be quite shocking to me if even close to a majority of Jews vote Biden this coming November, but then again, thus far Biden and his administration have been more or less supportive to the Jewish state throughout this regional war - but as the war goes more to Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Iran what will the Biden Admin do then?  The proverbial and Biblical writing is on the wall , the Democrat party is almost thru its metamorphosis and what is quickly emerging does not have a place for any Israel-loving Jews.  So will American Jewry abandon Israel altogether to keep pace with their party or will they bring a new, maybe more moderate and centrist, voice into the GOP?  History is being written even as we consider these things.

By Robert Anthony and David Silver Jun 27th 2024 We very well may be watching the formal beginning of WW3 starting.  I'm not trying to sound alarmist or fantastical but these are the facts: Israel just moved thousands of troops to their northern border, there are unconfirmed reports of Iran sending thousands of troops to Lebanon to support Hezbollah, there are videos emerging of at least hundreds of military vehicles and equipment (tanks, troops carriers, etc.) all headed to Israel's northern border.   We brought David Silver on to our show, All Politics is Local, to discuss what is unfolding this week.  If there was ever a time to be praying for Israel it is now. David's Comment:  Facing a Major War With Hezbollah   Since the Hamas massacre and the outbreak of war on October 7, life on Mt. Carmel has been very different and challenging for Josie and myself, as it has for everyone in Israel. The city of Haifa, which sits on Mt. Carmel, has not suffered any damage from rockets so far, but we have lived with the prospect of that changing at any time. We have heard many explosions which were rockets and drones being intercepted in the air, some distant and a few much closer, judging by the sound level. The number of rockets, mortars, anti-tank shells and drones that have been launched against Israel since the war began is now over 20,000, the majority in the north. About 80,000 residents of the north have been evacuated, living in hotels for months now, and an increasing number of their homes have been severely damaged. Many businesses have had to close down and the economy in the north is ruined. For 8 months now, we have monitored and shared the news about the war with Hamas in Gaza, the soldiers operating in Judea and Samaria (West Bank), and the thousands of rockets that have been fired by Hezbollah and others terror groups from Lebanon and Syria. From the beginning we have prayed, and asked you to pray that a full scale war would not break out in the north with Hezbollah, as they have far more rockets which are much more sophisticated and powerful than the ones Hamas have, capable of reaching most of the country. Haifa, which has been spared so far, will become a primary target, as Haifa has the largest naval base and port in Israel, the only oil refinery in Israel, many fuel and chemical storage tanks, many factories that make advanced missiles and other military equipment, and a large power station, all of which the enemy knows the precise location of. Hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah have steadily intensified over the last few weeks to the point that a full scale war could be initiated by either side at any time. Media is reporting verbal threats that the leaders of both sides are declaring against each other. Last week Hezbollah released video footage of all of the strategic sites that I mentioned in the previous paragraph - as a further threat against Haifa. They are also threatening Ben Gurion Airport, the Dimona nuclear facility and Ashdod port. The leaders of Iran have already declared that if Israel launches a full scale operation in the north, they will be involved. Life in the north and the rest of Israel could change very quickly and very dramatically at any time. We are being warned to prepare supplies of food, water and medical items. Underground car parks are being prepared as emergency medical centers and safety shelters for residents, if war with Hezbollah breaks out and the north is hit by thousands of missiles. As well as causing a very high number of deaths and injuries to the residents, a massive missile attack on Haifa and the nearby towns has the potential to damage to homes, stores, businesses, fuel stations and public services like electricity, gas and water supplies. Many more soldiers may be injured and killed as they do their best to protect the country and attack the enemy. In addition to all of the above, is the deep concern and heartfelt pain most Israelis feel for everyone who has lost loved ones or friends, for the seriously wounded soldiers and of course the remaining 120 hostages.The overall scenario for the days and weeks ahead is not good without supernatural intervention. The future of Israel and her people is in the hands of GOD, and in great need of His mercy. Your prayer support for us in the north and for all of Israel is imperative at this time, and greatly appreciated. Here David Silver Reports on Headline Israeli news .

By Robert Anthony July 1st 2024   We just had Ex-Governor Candidate (WI) Timothy Ramthun on our show , “All Politics is Local” to discuss the state of Wisconsin, his campaign and what it looks like to save America in this time.  We discussed election integrity efforts and how it was really the state governments that failed the American people following the stolen 2020 election.  It's hard to hear the truth sometimes but we have to look at this with sober-eyes and our feet firmly planted on the ground, but ready to take action.  FACT: the most appalling and destructive pro-abortion laws have all been passed following the dissolution of Roe v. Wade!?  But how is this possible!?  Roe v. Wade was overturned and the Pro-Life movement won, right??  Well, not exactly.  The Supreme Court in some ways merely passed the buck (doesn’t that sound like politics?), they did not rule for the protection of life in any way, shape or form – The Supreme Court “kicked the can” down to the lower jurisdictions and into the state legislatures to be fought out for generations to come !!  I will say however, many states are passing laws to protect life… and for that I say, Praise God. (But this among many other policies are splitting the nation in two.)   Election Integrity and the creation of a New and Legitimate election system is also running thru Local and State Governments.   Now it’s yet to be seen if the federal government will intrude as “we the people” start recreating the election system, making it free and fair, there have been murmurings of DOJ, Homeland Security and others injecting themselves back into these state affairs.  But the precedent set by Roe v. Wade does seem to be helpful in re-establishing states-rights!  (Personally, I was very let down that our Supreme Court couldn’t put into writing something like, “America is unashamedly for the creation and prosperity of Life!  We, as a nation, do not support the things of death and destruction.  We uphold our families as the foundation of the nation, for without them there would simply be no future.” And then I would have liked for them to explain that Roe v. Wade was never a constitutional or just ruling and the laws that were created from it were not only immoral but un-american and unconstitutional.)   I am going to vote for Trump, obviously.  I am going to support many candidates within the Republican Party but to be quite frank but I am less than confident that we are going to win this 2024 election.  We, as a movement, have been threatening to hunt down the criminals and distribute just retribution and even vengeance upon all the enemies of America, especially those involved with the 2020 theft of an election.  Try to imagine what it would be like to be in the shoes of these career politicians and bureaucrats, hearing our movement threaten them with jail time or even death (for treason)… simple logic would only conclude that they will be even more cunning and unwavering in their pursuit to steal 2024!    In my opinion, while the race for the White House might be the most important race in the nation it is equally just as important that we win our state legislatures, en masse !   The President would have the power to change much of DC and the Federal Bureaucracy, even shutting down many Big Government offices and cleaning house throughout the deep state but the foundational and lasting work to be done in this country, and that work pertaining to our elections, will be done in the state governments.  We have never needed more than this hour, a “Few Good Men” to stand in the gap for our nation and our states – refusing to bend a knee to the prevailing winds of wokeism, progressiveism, Big Money, the lobbyists, etc.  We must find these men (and women) whose hearts are genuinely seeking the blessing of God for our nation, the truth, liberty, justice! etc. We must find them and then support them, especially locally. (And try to find some men to join the fight!! I am tired of throwing our precious mothers, grandmothers, aunties and sisters on to the front-lines and telling them to save us!  This is intense, this is frightening at times (when they threaten our lives and worse), when they come after us with imprisonment and more – the battle for America hasn’t been this intense in hundreds of years – probably since Lincoln .  Men are called by God to protect their families.  Men, we need to stop asking our wives to fight for us, we need to pick up the baton and run the race!)   Here is a great interview I did with Timothy Ramthun  wherein we discussed Wisconsin and the vital importance of these state races – races that are usually not looked upon with much care or concern, especially when the White House is up for grabs.  I think this interview will help to focus us all for the months ahead.  And pray.  The state of Tennessee just declared a fast !!  How WONDERFUL is that!?!?  Praying and fasting will absolutely win us God’s attention – He will see our hearts and repentance and He will respond. God Bless Friends. The Best for America is Still Yet to Come!! Until the day, Robert

By Robert Anthony July 10, 2024 Sometimes its hard to take an honest account of a difficult matter.  But we are a mere few months from the most consequential US election in the history of the nation.  We must put our emotions, doubts and fears aside, we must put old rivalries, grudges and divisions away – FOR THE SAVING OF THE FREE WORLD!   This election will come down to a very few states, Wisconsin at the helm. Michigan too, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Nevada… But Wisconsin is a MUST WIN STATE.  Let me explain. Michigan and Minnesota were both totally and completely hijacked by some of the most extremely woke, progressive, Marxist-Democrats this nation has ever seen. 2022 saw a Blue Wave in both of these states but somehow Wisconsin resisted... they did lose their Supreme Court (as most of us are aware, they just voted to make drop boxes legal .). So they are well prepared for The Big Steal 2.0 Again, as many of us are now aware, we, the free-people of America, actually have the numbers in all three of these states! The Patriots are the majority, without a doubt, in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Some pollsters will blame "voter turn out" but that is a farce, in part. Remember AuditYourVote.com proved that they omitted votes in Michigan! Literally just removed them from the record! And we caught them! We can have every single Patriot vote and even outvote the algorithms, but if they omit votes!!? What is the remedy? In Wisconsin at least the Patriots have the House and the Senate. (Please, you guys, make sure your WI State Senators and Rep's campaigning are aware of this. Shoot them the article. Have them reach out to us. We will explain in detail.). Who will we turn to to support and free and fair election in Michigan or Minnesota!?!? VOTE. Do everything we can, Patriots, to shore up the elections but in the end - we should not be surprised by anything, except if they decide to leave this election alone. Which they will not do - because they are petrified that the law will come after them for what they did in 2020 and 2022! Back to #MustWinWisconsin - you can spend time playing around with this interactive map if you like. I give us less than a 5% chance of winning Michigan and Wisconsin. Maybe I am wrong? Maybe some three-letter agencies have a plan to make sure these states aren't stolen!? I dont know about that... They did nothing (but perhaps help) in 2020/2022. Which brings us to Pennsylvania, with a large 19 electoral votes. I would compare Pennsylvania to Michigan and Minnesota but perhaps not as extreme. I would give us about a 20% chance at winning Pennsylvania. The war in Israel works for us in Pennsylvania. The rulers of that state are NOT HAPPY with Biden and his dismal efforts supporting our #1 ally in the Middle East and perhaps the world! The Republicans have the Senate and the SOS. And THEY STEAL VOTES! If you are in Pennsylvania, feel free to share this article with anyone campaigning but especially those in position right now to shore up this election. If we win Pennsylvania and Wisconsin? Look at what the map does! But I only give us a 20% shot at Pennsylvania again because many there are in full-panic mode of what the (duly elected) President Trump might do to come after the traitors should he return to the White House!! Do not listen to the headlines. This election is about domestic politics and this political civil-war that has been raging. Everything else: Ukraine, Israel, China, etc. is a great distance from the fact that everyone in politics knows they seem to have gotten away with stealing an election from the American People! We actually have a chance at winning Wisconsin! While we do not have the SOS, AG or Governor - we have all of WI Legislature. Which brings us to places like Arizona and Nevada. I don't want to get too far into the weeds on this but, Arizona had the Election Audit! And WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED!!? Do you realize they never actually gave us a report of what that audit found!? It was all hidden and redacted!?! Once this became the conclusion to the 2020 Arizona Election Audit, I realized that we had lost Arizona. Is there a slim chance we pull it off? Sure. I believe in miracles. Which brings us to Nevada. The only thing the Patriots have in Nevada is the Office of the Governor. Pretty bleak all things considered. But Nevada only gives us 6 Electoral Votes. Is Nevada winnable with all those California implants flocking to Vegas and Reno? I give Nevada 30% chance of winning - I have a lot to say on the subject. But I won't get into it now. Someday Nevada will need a political champion who will open all the books and root out all the corruption and give Nevada, A Fresh Start. Some might argue Virginia is in play? I actually might listen to that argument. In fact I would give us better chances of winning Virginia than I would Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, etc. While the Democrat party controls the state's Legislature, the Republicans have the Governor, AG and SOS! And those Patriot-Leaders have done wonders with the state! The more I talk/write about it the more excited I get about the opportunity in Virginia! I need to look into this more. (I will get back to you all about this.) If we lose all those Dem-controlled swing-states but pull off an upset in Virginia!! WE WIN THE WHITE HOUSE!! Im going to investigate this further. Watch for a follow up article in the days weeks ahead. In conclusion: are we going to throw in the towel on Michigan, Minnesota, Penn., etc.? God forbid. I wrote an article about an phenomenal strategy THIS ELECTION - to focus on those local elections! If we can get the Congress' and maybe one or two of the big offices throughout the swing states this election! That will pay off huge 2026, etc.! Especially for us to restore the election system. It's abundantly obvious to me that Wisconsin is our best long hanging fruit among the swing states. I hope this helps to refocus the movement. We have months to go. We can all, even around the nation, get involved! I see no path to winning without Wisconsin. Play around with the map and prove me wrong. You can comment below. You can even agree in the comments below!! hahaha. #MustWinWisconsin Let's get it done! Robert.

In a moment that brought joy and pride to a war-torn nation, Yaroslava Mahuchikh soared to victory at the Paris Olympics, claiming Ukraine’s first individual gold medal of the Games. This triumph was not just a personal achievement for Mahuchikh but a beacon of hope and resilience for Ukrainians worldwide, especially those displaced by the ongoing conflict with Russia. Mahuchikh’s journey from Dnipro, a city close to the front lines, to the top of the Olympic podium is a testament to her determination and the indomitable spirit of the Ukrainian people. Forced to flee her home amidst the chaos of war, Mahuchikh’s path has been anything but easy. Yet, she has continually risen above the challenges, proving that with faith and perseverance, one can overcome the darkest of times. We remember the words of the Apostle Paul in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Mahuchikh’s story is a living embodiment of this scripture. Despite the adversity and uncertainty, her faith and perseverance carried her through. Her journey mirrors that of many biblical figures who triumphed over adversity through faith and resilience. Do you remember the story of David and Goliath? Just as David, a young shepherd, faced a giant with unwavering faith and a few smooth stones, Mahuchikh faced her own giants—war, displacement, and the pressure of the world stage. And like David, she emerged victorious, her determination allowing to rise above the circumstances her country is going through right now. As Mahuchikh cleared 2.00 meters, securing her gold medal, the Stade de France erupted in applause. This moment of victory was not just hers; it was shared by the entire Ukrainian community. The joy was doubled as Iryna Gerashchenko and Mykhaylo Kokhan also brought home bronze medals, bringing Ukraine’s total medal count to six in just an hour. This remarkable achievement allowed Ukrainians to forget the war, if only for a moment, and revel in the joy of sportsmanship and national pride. In her post-victory reflection, Mahuchikh dedicated her medal to the nearly 500 Ukrainian athletes who have lost their lives in the conflict. Her gold was for them, for the defenders of Ukraine, and for every Ukrainian who continues to fight in different ways. As she lay down between jumps, wrapped in her sleeping bag, she found peace by watching the clouds, reminding that sometimes, even in the midst of turmoil, we need to find our moments of calm and clarity. And let’s not forget the light-hearted moments that make sports so enjoyable. As Mahuchikh was asked why she didn’t attempt to break her own world record after winning gold, she humorously replied, “Why not? I was Olympic champion.” Sometimes you’ve just got to jump over your troubles, quite literally! As Proverbs 24:16 says, "For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again." CALLING OUT TO THE UKRAINIAN DIASPORA! In celebrating Mahuchikh’s triumph, we also celebrate the spirit of the Ukrainian diaspora. For those of you who have found new homes in foreign lands, your resilience and strength continue to inspire. Your stories of survival, adaptation, and success are powerful narratives that the world needs to hear. We invite all Ukrainian refugees and expatriates to share their experiences. Your voice matters, and your journey is significant. Please reach out to us and one of our reporters will get in touch with you - you will be able to show the world what you and your family have been going thru and maybe even help others get involved with the Ukrainian cause! Yaroslava Mahuchikh’s victory is more than a sports achievement; it’s a symbol of hope and resilience. As she returns to Ukraine as an Olympic champion, let her story inspire you to keep striving for greatness, no matter where you are. Let her faith be a reminder that with God’s strength, we can overcome any obstacle. Contact Information: If you are Ukrainian and would be willing to share your story about your life in a foreign country after fleeing the war, please contact us here and someone will get in touch with you to schedule the interview. Thank you. Stay strong, stay hopeful, and remember—no matter how high the hurdles, with faith and perseverance, we can always overcome.

By Pastor Matthew Trewhella July 13th 2024 (UPDATED AUG 3rd: Editors Note: Pastor Trewhella has been on the front lines of the battle to save the preborn lives of more than 60 Million Americans, doing so for more than 40 years! He has lived in Wisconsin for the whole of this time doing everything in his power to save these precious children, children who would have grown up to become our fellow Americans. A little back story to understand a bit more of his plight and article.) In January of this year, Robin Vos, Republican Speaker of the Assembly – along with 39 Republican legislators introduced AB975 which declared you can murder the preborn in Wisconsin up to 14 weeks. Understand -  nearly 95% of all abortions committed in Wisconsin are done by 14 weeks. The bill was introduced on January 19th - and the public hearing was held three days later on January 22nd. Vos and the others in cahoots with him clearly did not want there to be time for anyone to organize and bring opposition to the bill. They had a full a vote by the legislature on January 25th passing the measure. A total of 53 Republicans – led by Robin Vos - voted to murder 95% of the preborn. What irony that the Republicans - who told us they couldn't defend the preborn for nearly 50 years because of Roe v. Wade held their hearing on their bill to murder the preborn on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade - January 22nd. AB975 is meant to create a referendum so people can vote whether to murder the preborn or not. The Republicans hid behind the Supreme Court for nearly 50 years while they allowed the slaughter of the preborn to continue. Now they want to hide behind the mob and have the people vote. Understand – a majority of people should never be allowed to vote to murder another group of people (I made a reference of this before the Legislature).  About 40 of us who oppose the murder of the preborn gathered at Room 417N in Wisconsin's capitol building to speak against the AB975.  We were given 3 minutes each. The pro-life legislators said awful things. They all falsely stated that Wisconsin’s anti-abortion statute 940.04 was no longer in force. An absolute lie. It is still in force to this very day.   When I testified against the murder, I was interrupted by a loud, irreverent pro-abort legislator who could no longer sit there respectfully and listen as I kept referring to the killing of the preborn as “murder.” This is what happened during my 5 minute testimony, before the committee:   Two Republican assemblymen - Chuck Wichgers and Janel Brandtjen - actually took time to come to the hearing to address their fellow Republicans and publicly oppose the bill. We give thanks to God for them.   After the committee hearing on AB975, we talked with some of the Republican legislators. Two of them invoked their Christianity as a reason for supporting the bill to murder the preborn. One said he even sought the counsel of his pastor (he believes he is attending a bible-believing church) – and said to his surprise that his pastor counseled him to vote for  the AB975. Utter evil.   Because of the weakness displayed by the Republicans and knowing the government officials were not going to uphold our state anti-abortion law 940.04 – the Affiliated deathcamp reopened on Tuesday, March 5th. We were there to speak up for the little ones. All of the deathcamps in Wisconsin have now reopened and are back to murdering the preborn.   Innocent blood is a terrible thing for which the Scriptures are repeatedly clear – God judges nations. America is awash in innocent blood. When it comes to abortion we are talking about innocent blood being shed. We’re talking about bloodguilt. Innocent blood beckons the just judgment of God upon nations. God will bring His judgment for all this shedding of innocent blood in America – and here in Wisconsin. It may not come on Friday, but it will come. Even Thomas Jefferson had to utter this fact when he said “ I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever."   Here is a sermon I preached in January entitled: Blood in Wisconsin – 2024 . Here I address AB975:   I pray it is a blessing to your heart and mind. We must quit compromising with murder. As His people, we must uphold the law of God and not waver. (Matthew Trewhella is the pastor of Mercy Seat Christian Church ( MercySeat.net ), and the founder of Missionaries to the Preborn ( MissionariesToThePreborn.com ), and the author of the book The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates: A Proper Response to Tyranny and A Repudiation of Unlimited Obedience to Civil Government ( DefyTyrants.com ). He and his wife Clara have 11 children and 35 grandchildren, and reside in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area.)   ((Editors Note: Agreeing with Pastor Trewhella, here is an article explaining that, despite Roe being struck down, abortions nationwide are actually up!!? https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2024/05/14/1251086997/abortion-increase-research-wecount-telehealth ))

By Robert Anthony July 17th 2024 There is not a political issue today that does not come with vitriol and often even rage. Pick an issue: Israel, Ukraine, the border, the 2nd Amendment, ABORTION/PROLIFE, vaccines, the economy, etc. I am almost 50, in all my years I have never heard people shouting "Conspiracy!" like our nation shouts it right now. The divisions are palpable. What about the good 'ole expression "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all..." Sometimes I do wonder if there is an enemy stoking all this fire? Is there someone behind all this, throwing gasoline on an already burning fire!? America certainly has enemies. Spend some time with people in this movement and they will tell you that what is going on is right out of Communist and Chinese manifesto, written even decades ago about taking down this nation (from within). But we have so many enemies, it's hard to know what we are actually up against. In my opinion there has never been a time in the history of the nation that can compare with what we are living thru right now, and mostly because of technology and social media. With the advent of social media we lost this essential commodity called, accountability . Anyone can say just about anything their heart desires, spreading such darkness, hatred, disgust, etc. and without any sort of accountability whatsoever. And the powers that be are responding to this? (that's a question and a statement.) But what does it benefit anyone to hate, even the "other" side? Since when does spreading gossip and throwing trash publicly on a ruling figure ever help anything? I mean just logically. The social media warriors trying to burn down the other side, whichever side that is, what are they actually accomplishing? In one word? DESTRUCTION. They are accomplishing spreading darkness, they are harming their own soul, they are heaping trash upon the world and injuring their own selves. Consider brothers and sisters what you are doing to your own selves as you spew out such horrors and fear. (And yes, much of this is rooted in fear.) You guys, I am upset too. I am raising 5 children in this world. I get afraid. I have a vision for America that is not seeming to manifest en masse, it wears on me some days. I wonder if we will ever rebound from Covid? I wonder if the whole world lost it's mind during those inhumane and unjustified lock-downs and I wonder if we will ever rebound? I get afraid too. I have almost too much knowledge about the World Economic Forum setting up a headquarters in Michigan, China infiltrating our Wall Street, Big Business, our farmland, etc. I worry about Bill Gates, Bezos, Zuckerberg and the vision they have for this nation and the world, that I simply do not agree with. Russia, Iran, N Korea, etc. all worry me at times. I have friends in S Korea, Israel, Ukraine, Russia! I worry about WW3. But with all this worrying has my heart started to hate Iranians, Russians, Chinese, etc.? With all this fear have I grown calloused and spiteful towards the other side of the political spectrum? God forbid. "Guard your heart" the scripture tells us, "For it is the wellspring of Life !" Shoving fear, doubt, scorn, unbelief, hatred, etc. into our hearts and souls - what is to become of us!? But we are being taught to "Fight". We are being almost mentored to hate and fear our "opponent" who is actually our fellow American and our neighbor. I was never afraid of people, not my whole life.... until now. (And I am repenting before you all as I write about it.) Truthfully, I want to love the Chinese. I want to love the Russians, the N Koreans, the Israeli's, the Ukrainians, etc. I fear we are no longer being mentored to be Christians. I fear we are being mislead. And as they stoke our fears, we are losing our heads and going right along with the prevailing winds... There is something about fear that shuts off our ability to reason and puts us our of a sound mind. II Timothy 1:7 "For I have not been given the spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind ." Will any of this ever be beautiful again? As I talk with way, I can already hear what the (angry and frustrated) Christians will say, "But Jesus threw over the tables and beat them with chord!?" They will quote the one or two times Jesus seemed to get upset and display what could have been rage.... But rationally, we have two maybe three times Jesus seemed to get angry and hundreds of times that He simply loved them, that He responded to wrath with peace, dozens of times He peacefully dismantled a heated situation with an almost miraculous poise and tactfulness. But angry people usually aren't interested in logic or reasoning. I think anger and rage because like a drug. I'll bet if we really studied what it does to the chemicals in the body we would find out rage, hatred and anger actually release something in the body like a drug - and people get addicted to it. I am certain people are getting addicted to that feeling of false power that follows becoming enraged and what many a Christian refer to as "Righteous Indignation". All the while Jesus tells us, "Love your enemies". If the prerequisite for loving someone is agreeing with them, we are in a lot of trouble! I want to see America saved! Both spiritually and politically, I want to see America saved. I have deep rooted convictions that I want to fight for upon the earth. But then the question that remains is "How"? "How, Robert, how will you strive to see the change you want in the world come to pass? What is the best way to go about this?" I still ask myself this question, lately, daily. I hope I am encouraging my brothers and sisters. I truly believe the path to winning back America is best summarized with the greatest commandment, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and you shall love your enemy as yourself." And then Jesus says this profound statement, "Against such there is no law"!!! Wow! Mind-blown. How will we save America while breaking the foundations? Faith. Hope. Love. These three abide. How will we ever save this precious thing God has given us while at war with the essentials and fundamentals of Life !? Some might say, "This love doesn't belong in politics..." Some will certainly debate me across the board on these points. But I have been saying the same thing over and again for some 25 years now. I have been fought against for some 25 years now. And while a very few want to believe the power of God is enough, I continue to watch the world burn. It's very hard sometimes. I don't agree that darkness can bring forth light. I don't agree that hatred and wrath can spawn love and something worthy of God, filled with light. I don't agree with bringing this sort of evil within our own homes as a strategy to save the world. We must find another way. (Two wrongs still don't make a right.) And absolutely, the power of God is enough. I have learned a lot about politics these past several years. I have learned enough to know that we desperately need thousands of true Christians: loving, caring, persevering and determined people of God to change this broken American establishment and quickly. We need a miracle, really a series of miracles and we need the people who are willing to allow God to work those miracles thru them, immediately. We will save this nation, if we can save it's heart and soul and spirit. If we can not revive the goodness that still lurks and even hides within our United States I fear there is no hope for us. All is lost. Love the children men of God. Love the little ones precious women of God. The young men need to see us living out the truth, with more than just empty rhetoric as we pound away at the keyboards. We need to inspire, with patience to love even our enemies, we need to lead and to lead is to serve, to humble ourselves and serve. You will see American Revival Press changing in the days and weeks to come WE MUST TURN ON THE LIGHT!! Robert.

By Tony Nastas July 21st 2024 President Volodymyr Zelensky's assertion that the war in Ukraine could wind down by the end of 2024 is driven by a combination of strategic military planning, international support, and an unwavering resolve to see justice served. One major reason for Zelensky's confidence is the ongoing shift towards "positional warfare." This strategy emphasizes defensive operations while preparing for more significant offensives in the future. This pragmatic approach is designed to maintain the initiative, wear down Russian forces, and rebuild Ukrainian strength for a decisive campaign. This strategic pivot reflects lessons learned from the challenges faced during 2023 and aims to optimize Ukraine's defensive and offensive capabilities moving forward. Moreover, Zelensky has been drawing up a comprehensive plan to end the war, which he intends to put forward in a matter of months. This plan includes mobilizing significant additional resources and troops, as well as securing substantial financial and military aid from international allies. For instance, he has mentioned the need to mobilize an additional 450,000 to 500,000 people and the substantial financial support required to sustain this mobilization. Zelensky's Year-End Press Conference: https://www.kyivpost.com/post/25715 Washington Examiner: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/foreign-policy/3064652/zelensky-timeline-end-war-ukraine/ The president's optimistic timeline is also bolstered by continued international support. Recent agreements, such as the provision of additional Patriot air defense systems from the United States, are crucial for Ukraine's defense. Zelensky's diplomatic efforts have ensured ongoing aid from Western allies, which is vital for both military operations and the broader reconstruction efforts. Zelensky's Year-End Press Conference: https://www.kyivpost.com/post/25715 Furthermore, Zelensky's firm stance against any form of compromise with Russia underlines his commitment to achieving a just and lasting peace. He has consistently emphasized that those responsible for starting the war must be held accountable and that Ukraine's territorial integrity must be fully restored. Zelenskyy says Kyiv will end war on 'own terms' – DW – 06/12/2024 https://www.dw.com/en/ukraine-zelenskyy-says-kyiv-will-end-war-on-own-terms/live-69326832 Zelensky's timeline also reflects a strategic understanding of the geopolitical landscape. He is acutely aware of the potential changes in international political dynamics, such as the upcoming US presidential elections, and their impact on the war. His proactive approach aims to secure as much support as possible while the current geopolitical conditions remain favorable . Washington Examiner: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/foreign-policy/3064652/zelensky-timeline-end-war-ukraine/ In summary, Zelensky's projection that the war could wind down by the end of 2024 is grounded in his own strategy, bolstered by international support and driven by an unyielding commitment to justice and national sovereignty. This multifaceted approach reflects both a realistic assessment of the current situation and a hopeful vision for Ukraine's future.

by American Revival Press July 14th 2024

By Robert Anthony July 25th 2024 In some ways I think we need to start at the beginning again and ask ourselves, “What is this American Experiment of Self-Governance and How will the Republic Survive this Time of Division and Strife?”   In the beginning of these United States the burden of autocratic rule that was under the British empire was fresh on everyone’s mind.  While those early patriots chose to fight about many fundamentals, reread the federalist and anti-federalist papers, it doesn’t seem to me they risked losing the newly formed nation, stopping at nothing to ensure their policy might win the day.  But we are in an altogether different era, a time nothing like the somewhat slow-moving, more simple world of the 16th and 17th centuries.   We have a global economy like the world has never before dreamed, weapons that can destroy the earth several times over, technologies that make communication across any distance or language instantaneous, world-travel has never been safer, cheaper and easier, the population has exploded compared with four and five hundred years ago – simply put, there is no comparing the founding world in which America was born into, with today.   We can discuss morality, traditional and time-tested values, commonly accepted laws of God and His creation rooted in the Holy Bible throughout the whole of the European and New American world but no matter at what angle we choose to view this time, it can not be easily compared with that founding American era.  The divisions of that olde world can in no way compare with the (mostly cultural) divisions that have emerged today – and as the morally and socially accepted norm’s for literally millennia continue to be warred against and unapologetically even cast aside, the chasm between these belief systems continues to widen.  And this radical culture-war is tearing the nations of the world apart.   Have you looked at the definition of terrorism lately? Terrorism: 1. The use of violence or the threat of violence, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political goals. 2. The act of terrorizing, or state of being terrorized; a mode of government by terror or intimidation. 3. The practise of coercing governments to accede to political demands by committing violence on civilian targets; any similar use of violence to achieve goals.   Let me ask you, Are there political ideologies within America willing to go to such extremes insomuch to win their political agenda, even violently forcing their change on our society!?    Domestic Terrorism is certainly a growing threat within our Republic.  But what does our government do when faced with such a threat?  I’m afraid they coalesce and instead of rebuking the lawless ones, the leaders of our nation bend to their riotous will and anarchy.  What ever happened to “America does not negotiate with Terrorists”?  Did they mean to say, “We do not negotiate with terrorists, unless they represent our own political ideology and will help us to remain in power (and then in that case we will even fund their efforts)”. Corruption must be rooted out.  No nation will last so much as a generation when corruption, injustice, lawlessness and quid pro quo rule its power centers.  A force must emerge to stand against the depravity, to root out the cancer, to prune back the dead branches and make the tree come back to life!  When the mob fervently desires a popularity contest to promote and exalt its leadership any semblance of reformation is tossed out the window, the proverbial can is kicked down the road for another more desperate generation to try and redeem, even though it is exponentially more difficult, the cancer having now spread more completely throughout its host.    But it’s easier for politics and leaders to bend.  Who doesn’t want to be well-liked, popular, esteemed among their people, cherished and adored by the masses!?  If a democratic-society collapses into corruption and depravity, what public servants will they vote into office? Choosing a rock star or thespian when the moment demands an emergency room physician, what hope has that nation?!  America is on life support.  Our economy, our vital energy production, our military, our morale, the most fundamental systems throughout our society are all functioning on what is commonly referred to as a wing and a prayer .  We need true leadership, we need people of vision and resolve, we need people of great heart and love for their fellow man and for the whole of their country.   Kindness does not require compromise.  Sincerity and good character do not inevitably work hand in glove with bitterness and revenge.  Wisdom together with creative problem-solving skills are in no way benefited by the fear of the future, allowing conspiracy and doubt to infiltrate our minds.  A good thing done in a bad way is still bad.  A bad thing done in a good way is still bad.  For the saving of our nation, we need a New Vision for America. Many will assume reading this that I am rebuking the higher leadership of the land.  Many will look past the words even as they are reading them and try to judge the intent of my heart and the purpose to which I write.  But I would rather my reader try to instead remain present and in the moment, try not to seek an escape elsewhere.  It’s easier to cast blame to another, a rivalry, the “other side”, a warring party, etc.  It takes great courage for a man (or woman) to take an honest account of themselves, asking, “Are my words and actions bringing light into this darkness or have I also become a destroyer of worlds?”   There is not a rule for debate written that says one must hate their adversary in order to engage in difficult discussion.  There is not a law in politics that disallows one to love their competitor or forbids them to act with tact and patience, hoping to even retain the relationship even through the disagreement.  But we, as a society, have bought into a pile of lies and garbage.  We should value comradery, brotherly kindness and the relationship, perhaps even above our politics but instead an untold many will use the most heinous and vile rhetoric, thinking that this harmful strategy will win them their way.    Why are we so thoroughly convinced that our politics has to be contentious, vengeful and filled with such evil?  We are destroying the heart and soul of our own nation with every sharp and cutting word, with every quip and jest, and ridicule, we jab and slash at the precious insides of our fellow Americans – and then we wonder why our nation won’t come to life, and live?   A voice from among the harsh speeches of the crowd must stand out from among them and find America a better way.  The vision must not come only with word and inspired-speech but also with virtue, perseverance, with longsuffering, with a tenderness of heart and the wisdom to inspire the best out this lost and desperate generation.  The truest of leaders would understand that it’s going to take a lot of heart but also love if we are to reawaken the dark and dying souls, if we are to push start the gift that is our Republic, we are going to need leaders who know how to inspire the dominant light, hidden within our citizenry.  Mere appeasement of the mob has never worked, not in the whole of recorded human history.   There is something of true leadership that even the most wicked and tormented from among us can recognize, it’s like royalty, in its most noblest and esteemed sense.  It’s maybe even difficult to describe but when you meet such a refined and set apart one, tried by the fires and temptations of life but passing each test with flying colors, the enduring impression left cannot be easily forgotten, like a fine and exotic fragrance such an inspired one can bring newness of life and grace to even the most destitute of situations!  Such leadership, a person of such value and enduring quality is not made easily, but like gold, carefully sought out from within the earth, washed by water, cleansed by the furnace and pounded and shaped into a glorious image, must be sought out and promoted from among the crowds.   And we should be careful who and what we exalt and esteem.  We should take care what comes out of our mouths and hearts.  The everlasting scripture reminds us, “We will be judged for every idle word that has proceeded forth from our lips.”  Let us take care in what manner we judge what God has created.  A little leaven leavens the whole lump.  Can both sweet water and bitter come from the same well?  Guard your hearts, pray and they will be made pure again, for the saving of our nation and a generation!   Hope is not lost Unless we uniquely refuse the truth when it is presented to us And then the redemption that was to be our gift and salvation It passes us by, and we are left to wander   Hold to hope But even moreso Hold to the truth   And America shall surely be saved!
