by Robert Anthony Sept 23 2026 Back in 2023 I wrote an article about President Trump's Golden Year. I didn't really know that what I was saying was truly looking into the future!? I was just trying to inspire the Republican Party to rally behind President Trump and not only save our nation but bring America into a New Era of Peace and Prosperity! Here is that article: "Will the Republicans Lead America into a New Golden Age" Since 2023 I have had moments where I wondered, how is this going to happen. I went to the Lord about 6 months ago and asked, "Lord, is this really going to happen? There is all this bad news. The war in Iran is dragging on, gas prices keep going up, inflation, the national debt keeps rising!? How is this going to work out." Then in July the Lord spoke to me early one morning and said, "Remind them, a New Golden Age of America is coming!" Then, I wrote this article to encourage everyone: "A Hard-Won Victory: His Golden Era" But how is all this going to work out!? It's hard to see this great victory coming to the American people. We just passed the holiest days on the Jewish Calendar, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Many of you are Christians reading this and might not be aware that God is still fulfilling so many promises each and every day - and He is deciding to do so according to His Jewish/Hebrew Calendar. It's actually amazing - I have been aware of this for years now, watching the Lord promises come to pass according to His appointed times and seasons. It's truly remarkable. You can study these things on your own. But it would be volumes of a book for me to write. (Jonathan Cahn does a great job testifying to these things.) Yom Kippur started this past Sunday, Sept 20th 2026, at sundown. I decided this year to seek the Lord in humility and repentance this year on Yom Kippur, I cleared my schedule and did not do any work, just spending the day in prayer, reading the scripture, preaching to my kids, etc. It was a hard day in some ways, not as blessed as I would have imagined. But the day, Monday Sept 21st ended quite miraculously! Sometime around 2 in the afternoon while praying, I heard the Lord say, "Study what is significant about this year on the Jewish Calendar." Honestly, at the time, I really wasn't 100% for sure that that was the Lord. But curiously (and I have been called curious before) I decided to click around online and see what this Jewish year is all about! I really felt the Lord leading me to this minister, who I have never heard of before, preaching about 5787. Didn't seem so amazing at first. But let me explain... In his sermon, the minister, Jason Sobel, teaches that we have transitioned into the year "Peh-Zayin" and what is significant about that you might ask? Well, these two letter in the Hebrew language spell out only one word... and what is that word? (I'm glad you asked...). Try and guess, considering everything I just wrote above about the President's Golden Year... "Peh-Zayin" can only be the Hebrew word "Paz" and Paz means in english.... Drum Roll Please!!! "Pure Refined Gold"!!! You can't make this stuff up!! We just entered THE GOLDEN YEAR on the Hebrew Calendar.... He explains it all in the first 15 minutes or so of his sermon. The President, America, our Fellow Americans... God is going to give us this New Golden-American Era!! It's all unfolding before our very eyes. The minister has a lot to say. He reminds us over and again in his message - "Don't focus on the success or prosperity, etc. Focus on God! And His Kingdom (and all these things will be added unto you." This is so unbelievable!! How could I have known that simple article I wrote in 2023 was such a big deal!?? Hahaha. Amazing. God speaks to His people He is Alive And we can know Him!! Wonderful. I want that everyone comes to love and know this wonderful Father, we have, in heaven... The whole story is true, you guys!! God loves us. Be encouraged. Come to life. The Best is Yet to Come!!! Robert.

By Robert Anthony Sept 21 2026 What makes the spirit of a man come alive? If he is grieving, if he is lost or feeling abandoned, if his soul is afraid and seeking a place to call home – what brings peace to a hurting and suffering soul? Jesus said, “I will not leave you comfortless.”What a curious statement. Knowing we would suffer, knowing how this world and the broken things within it, war against the human spirit and soul, Jesus responded, “I am going away. But I will not leave you without a Comfort and a Comforter.” (I paraphrase some.) And the He left. But His body remained on the earth. There is a mystery to these things but Messiah’s body remained, as a beacon shining the way to salvation out in the midst of the darkness – for all the world to see. We are told by our Lord and Savior that this Comforter is a Spirit, even the Most Holy Spirit of God. “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit (The Holy Ghost), whom the Father will send in My Name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” (John 16:26) But a Spirit does not dwell alone, but abides in a soul and that within a body. Or are you not the dwelling place of God? “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?” (I Corinthians 6:19) And if His Spirit is within you, are you then Christ? It is not so, for we have One Savior and One Salvation of whom we now testify – and yet His Spirit is alive in you. It has therefore been written, “Now are we the body of Christ” (I Corinthians 12:27) Paul explains to us that we are yet many members throughout his first letter to the Corinthian believers. And we, fitly joined together, become a body but a body of What? Or a body of Who? It is blaspheme, a man calling himself Christ, and yet, a mystery persists - we as a body of believers become What? Or become Who? The Body of Christ. Paul, by the Spirit, recognized that when the followers of Christ come together, as one, in that sweet and most precious unity the Son of Heaven begins to appear. If one is a leg and another an arm, still another the heart and another the ribs, of whose body are we then being formed, together, as one? We are the body of Christ. And we alone, separated from the body, do wither and die but intimately joined one to another, the body comes alive and thrives – empowered with the Spirit of the Living God, that life-giving Spirit, that quickens, the Spirit brings dead things to life! Take heed because the members of Christ’s body do wither and die separated and apart from their body, of saints, those precious brothers and sisters God has given to us. Therefore, “Let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as we see the day approaching.” (Hebrews 10:24, 25) But many who gather, gather amiss, denying these traditions that were handed down to us by those first apostles of the Lamb, even denying the word by which we were redeemed. Remember the first impartation of the commandments of God, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” And yet these men teach and seduce men to follow another man, without question, as if they are the Lord themselves. (Are we not one body of many members?) And Jesus taught His disciples, many of whom were the first apostles of this New Covenant, saying, “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.” “For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth. Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.” (Luke 22:25-28) If our Lord and Master showed to us the ministry of the kingdom of heaven, not ruling or being served but being ruled by His Father and instead serving, how ought we to live? He even took off His clothes, making Himself lower than the lowest of servants and He washed the feet of His friends. Has the scripture not warned us? “There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” (Proverbs 16:25) And if the Lord wanted men free (Who the Son sets free is free indeed…), why would we bind them to serve our own will and fleshly desire? But there is more. Indeed, He came to give His life as a ransom for many – but for what cause? Has it not been written, “How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.” (I Corinthians 14:26) And yet in your assemblies men are not free to share expressly, even as the Spirit gives them utterance. Did not Paul exhort us, saying, “For the body is not one member, but many.” (I Corinthians 12:14) and yet in your assemblies one, maybe two members receive all the glory and honor of the body - even the glory and honor bestowed on Christ!? Family, this should not be so. You have followed after this culture for long enough. You have followed after them but you were called to inspire them, to encourage them and to show them the ways of God! And the blessing that God puts upon your life would be the witness of God’s glory, enough to convince them to follow us, to see the glory of God in our lives and turn and repent, returning once and for always to their Father, even with us. But these false believers will not follow after the word, even the Word who became flesh and bought them, they deny these holy things of God and make for themselves another way, away from that first gospel we have received from God’s own Son. And so their lives are a witness, not for the gospel but a warning to the world around them that these men found not the way of life, and have erred against the kingdom of God. Paul warned us, even writing to Timothy, of what would come of the Church in the last days, saying, “they will have a form of godliness but deny its power.” The Spirit and His Word, are they not the powers by which we stand!? You Men remain the heads of your families, to guard them and to watch over them, to keep them in this way, and model to them the kingdom of the Most High God. You Wives are to be contrite and content to live a quiet and peaceable life, modeling to your children submission to your own husbands, even as we submit to God. You children are to give honor and live humbly among those parents among you, for they will watch over your souls. You Church, seek God with your whole heart, love Him before all others and remain together in that love. You are the family of God, you who bought with a great price, given from heaven, love one another. Fathers, love the children who are among you, show them with great patience and long-suffering the way of God. Brothers, come together in this love, being unified by the Spirit with which our Father has given us to endure unto the end. Mothers, teach the younger women among you what it is to be Godly, quick to serve, quick to listen, slow to wrath and filled with mercy. Sisters, we exhort you as the weaker vessel, knowing that one day you too will be perfected and restored in Christ. What should become of the body if the strength of men chose to falter? What should become of the children if their fathers refuse to stand for them, keeping watch over their souls? Women of God, you should want your men to made strong in the Spirit of Christ. Men of God, do not cast your burdens and calling on to your women, who were not made to bear those things. Let the household of God believe, and return to the ways in which we were taught. And the body of Christ will come together, in strength but also in love, fitly joined one to another, equipped for every good work to glorify God and to be made His salvation on the earth, His Own Body. There is hope in your end, Precious Saints and Believers. We can endure. Without His Comforter, we will be left empty, without hope, wandering and defeated. But receiving this Word, once again, receiving His Spirit and Comfort, a New Life will rise up within us, we will cast off the cares of this fallen life and we will again, LIVE! But a grave and sincere warning for all who do not obey the commandments of God and of His Christ, to the men who refuse to keep their households in this way and to the women who continue to war against their own design, the judgments of your own lives will be a witness against you, a warning and a display to all the world these rejected the goodness of God and the Truth given by His Spirit. Forgive and it shall be forgiven of you, there is redemption in our God. Hold not to the bitterness and resentments of your past, but release those things to God: the perfect judge, He who is seated on a throne of mercy. Today is a new day, if you will receive it, He will redeem your time and restore those years stolen from you. In your anger, do not sin. Wrath and malice are not comely for the children of God. If you will receive it, today is a New Day – the old things have passed away and all things are made new. Have faith, for this too pleases God. He will bring you to your expected end, so have hope and live by faith. You, who are the called and chosen of God, are the body of Christ given to the hurting and lost souls of the earth – love one another, and the whole world will know that you are God’s watching your love, one to another. This is His Church perfected, perfected in His love. These days are evil, the signs and warnings of the end are all around us, but keep watchful eye over your hearts, for soon and very soon we will stand before the King of Glory, and be held to account. And remember, “All the more, as you see the day approaching…” Come together in His love. I hope this encourages you, holy bride of Christ…In His love, Robert

By Robert Anthony Sept 7th 2026 Have you all been watching these interviews on YouTube about the coming AI apocalypse!? I randomly was watching these documentaries the past several months about the “Splitting of the Atom” and I think that there are many direct parallels with this emerging AI-tech and our old Manhattan Project. “Robert, why would you put “Splitting the Atom” in italics? Well, this article may get a little ethereal here, but let me take a quick detour to explain myself. Are you aware that with all our understanding, we aren’t totally clear what an atom is. The nucleus, protons and neutrons, we have a much better understanding of but those things we call Electrons are much more mysterious and open to scientific debate and discovery. Here are some of the theories surrounding what is the atom (I disagree that it is an evolution but I liked the jpeg to better display these theories): And these are theories about what is the atom. And a theory has yet to be proven. And when I say, this has yet to be proven, what I really mean is, they have little idea what the electron actually is! Mind Blowing!? They know more about how it acts but much less about what it is. Science is aware of the existence of the thing they call an electron but what it is and how it functions and what it looks like, etc. seem to be past finding out with our present technology/understanding. Therefore, within the (precise) science in “splitting the atom” there is lots of room for dialog and investigation and discovery. But this truth is all but left out of the scientific discussion, like are many truths. The narrative science pushes on us, is actually an extremely complex conversation. Science tends to wrap up quite vast and mysterious concepts in simple-logic binaries, giving its participant little room for debate, disagreement and moreso discovery. For instance, What is Light? And what is Energy? Similar questions persist about fire, and water, and wind... With all of its understanding science cannot explain what are these things: how they are made, where they come from, etc. In truth, the basic fundamentals of our whole existence are hardly understood. (Mind Blown, yet?) For those Bible Scholars among us: on what day did God make the water? or fire? or wind? In my opinion, there remains more of what is unknown that what is known among even our most intellectual elites – but for whatever the reason, this is kept out of the conversation or even purposefully omitted. I have had the good fortune to spend time with physicists, tenured professors from UCLA and USC, medical pathologists and other very brainy-type people – I became very close with a tenured professor/pathologist-researcher, I learned a lot being with him and his friends, asking lots of questions. The world we have created is much scarier than people realize but it is also much much safer than people realize - all at the same time. But how can this paradox be!? “How can such polar opposites, even opposing forces be true at the exact same time, Robert?” Well, I’m glad you asked. Let’s continue with the article/discussion (and if you have thoughts and questions feel free to comment below). While watching all these documentaries about the atom bomb and that form of energy, I was astonished, no, more horrified to learn that many of these scientists were not totally certain that they wouldn't accidentally set our entire atmosphere on fire!? I watched that part of the documentary over and again because it was so alarming but also comical and at the same time, then it was making me mad to really swallow that bitter pill. The number one scientist leading this certain atomic bomb project simply did not know neither how big the explosion would be, nor if the explosion would accidentally set off a chain reaction that would engulf the world’s atmosphere ablaze!? And yet he/they pulled the trigger anyway!? Later it was admitted the explosion was in fact much bigger than they had planned for (and because of a mistake that they had made handling the atomic elements of the bomb), but at least the atmosphere managed to stay in tact... Feel free to reread what I just wrote and understand that the scientist I’m referencing is the same age as many of our WW2-era Americans. (And what would we say to our grandparents if we discovered that they nearly ended life on this earth as we know it, even accidentally???) Now they/we are unleashing another “discovery” upon the world, throwing caution to the wind so that no other nation is able to beat America to the punch. And their simple logic, China must not have more powerful AI, seems to make sense but only in the most apocalyptic sense because AI is an entirely different argument than the argument for or against the “splitting of the atom”. With the nuclear bomb, and let me remind my reader that that a rather simple analog-technology, quite different than the digital world we are in today… but with the nuclear bomb a man had to push the trigger to unleash hellfire on the earth. With AI, firstly, the button has already been pressed! And secondly, there is no amount of science or modeling that will tell us where this Brave New World that was just created is heading. We simply cannot put what we just let out, back into the box. Full Stop. Sometime study about all the near accidents and accidents that have occurred with nuclear bombs and the power plants (and there have been dozens of them) over the decades. It's rather upsetting to learn about the many of the near apocalypses that were quite miraculously thwarted. Watching one of those documentaries I learned about a Russian Officer refusing to obey orders and launch his nuclear weapon because he thought their needed to be a second and even a third confirmation, before he would push the botton! And, of course, that Russian Officer was proven correct! That one man could have started a global nuclear holocaust had he obeyed his incorrect order! But I have come to learn that there were even dozens of these stories over the years of “near miss” miracles that took place, guarding the world from certain destruction! (Almost like a loving and kind Power is out there, watching over us all.) And while all this translates quite directly into the AI conversation, I will also have to also attach a warning as I comfort us with these words. (And I will.) If God is able to miraculously keep us from destroying ourselves with nuclear power, as He has proven for some 70 or 80 years now, certainly He is more than capable of protecting us from our (machine-learning) AI. Let me share a story to better illuminate my point: Years ago, I was going into the mountains to fast and pray. I wanted to get very very close, as close as humanly possible, with God. It was, I have to admit in hindsight, quite a grandiose plan but I was also quite genuine and even childlike in my pursuit. Certainly, God could judge that of me. (What I mean is, I realize, who am I to stand before the Almighty God and speak with Him in such a bold way? Maybe I will write of this in another article…?) But there I went, up the mountain, in my borrowed BMW station-wagon, with some wood-logs and a few gallons of water in the trunk – eager to meet my God! It was a couple hour drive just to get to the foothills of the mountain, it was early spring and technically the mountaintop was closed to visitors but many of us knew where to park to simply hike higher up the mountain to enjoy it before opening season came. So, the roads were quite empty. And as I reached the turning point, making a left to go up to the mountains peak, something alarming and unexplainable happened to my car!? Exactly the moment I made that left hand turn, all the instrument panel started lighting up and dinging alarms! The car slowed to less than 10 miles p/hr. and no matter how much I pressed the gas pedal, it simply would not speed up!? It’s was quite discomforting to say the least. I kept trying to give it more gas but then the engine would start to die and as I continued forward 6-8 miles an hour, all the warning lights and alarms sounding, I did not know what to do. On the one hand I wanted to pull over and check the engine but on the other, I was afraid to turn the ignition off, in case it wouldn’t start again. And I really didn't want to ruin my weekend seeking God! What was I to do!? Reluctantly I pulled over on the side of the road and turned the car off. I prayed, “Lord, Help me – Help me get to the mountaintop to be with you.” And I turned the car on again! At first, it started normally and seemed to be fixed!? No lights or alarms were on? But as I pulled back onto the road, driving again up the mountain, within a mere 50 feet all the notices and warnings starting up again and the car slowed back to 6 or 8 miles an hour - and I was right back to being perplexed, trying to figure out what to do? I started praying again, but continued driving. While praying this time I heard the voice of the Lord. (I really don’t want to get into how someone can hear from God, at least for now, in this article - but I will say in brief, it sorta sounds like your inner self talking to you? But only at first. After a while you can begin discerning God’s voice from your other thoughts/feelings/inner-voices.) I was certain I heard the Lord say, “This is a spiritual attack, start praying over the car!!” Without much thought, I put my hand on the dashboard and started to pray while driving. As I continued praying, even harder, the car started to work!! Slowly it went from 6 to 10, to 20 and then even to 25 miles an hour. The dashboard light remained on for the most part, but as long as I was praying, I was able to drive up the mountain almost normally. Obviously, I was quite shaken as I got to the pull-off area where I would park the car for the 3-day weekend. It was astonishing to me, not only that the devil, or whatever spirit it was, would try and prohibit me from going to the mountain to be with God but also how easy it was for God, thru my prayers, to defeat that spirit!! Needless to say, my faith was high and I was ready to go and meet Him!! Maybe even face to face!? I didn’t know what would happen up there that weekend, but whatever it was, it seems to me that both God and the devil were aware of what I was doing!? Wild story right!? But why did I share that story with you? Did you figure out on your own that it was the electronics on the car that went haywire!? And there was some kind of spiritual force attacking specifically the (digital) electronics of my car. Do you see where I am going with this yet? When my fasting was done, and I was on my way down the mountain, I knew for certain that it was some evil and probably the devil, trying to stop me. I had to pray again over the car on the entire drive down the mountain, in fact, often I had the car in neutral, fighting against the same electrical problems. When I got back to the main highway and made that right hand turn to go home… can you guess what happened!? Well, I turned right, off of the windy-mountain road and when I did, the car instantly returned to normal! Like nothing had ever happened to it before!! And those electrical problems I had been experiencing Never Returned Again! Not for as long as I had the car, Not Even Once!! I learned many things that weekend up on the mountain! But one of the most interesting things God showed me is that both He and the devil are totally capable of influencing digital technologies - and it seemed quite easy for them both to do so. With those things I just wrote in mind, try to consider what harm the devil could do thru AI? While we really don't know what that evil is capable of, I believe we can rest in how easy to is for God to withhold that Satan?? If God was able to save the world from nuclear disaster so many times, certainly He can withhold evil from an AI-apocalypse... As I come to a first conclusion, I want to share a scripture with you. A scripture that I have never ever, not even once heard a pastor preach on, I have never even heard it being read before in a church!? (And I have been to thousands and thousands of church services and conferences throughout my life and throughout the world!) Here goes, Revelation 11:18: “And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.” How many times have we all read the Bible? And how have we not marveled at that scripture!? God will “destroy them which destroy the earth”!? What!? “How Lord!? How do they/we destroy the earth!? I really do not want to be a part of destroying your earth, Lord.” It’s all in there, folks! All the answers are right in that Bible of ours!! Amazing! The Lord told us what would happen, more than two and three thousand years ago! He told us what would become of us... I will write more in a part two of this article, but for now, this Great Drama has to play itself out. God gave to man, free will. And every one of us gets to choose, God or not. And He won’t let us destroy ourselves. At least not until the very end…. (according to scripture) There is so much promise and hope in our God, but a big part of the hope and promise is that this world, as we know it, has an expiration date. We were never made for this (sinful and broken) world. We were never made for sin. We were made to be with our Father, together, forever, in perfection... and all of us, with God, living in a beautiful breath-taking garden!! without death, or divorce, or disease... And it seems to me, God’s children will be home soon. So I guess we should try to enjoy watching the greatest show on earth! And probably we should get back to work, convincing as many people as we can to salvation thru God's Christ, our Messiah! Much love friends. But seriously, isn’t this ending getting more and more intriguing as these last days continue!? More to come, Robert.

By Robert Anthony Aug 19th 2026 I will admit I don’t know the story too intimately, but I learned of a time President Trump was just about bankrupt. He later publicly admitted he was more than a billion dollars in debt and had just piles of financial troubles, all of this before he did that show, The Apprentice. Donald Trump is a very competitive man. Just look at his love for golf. President Trump has had a lifetime to develop an amazing perseverance and determination that few will ever rival. President Trump is a winner, plain and simple. I would caution anyone in a bet against him. It’s odd how many in our own nation want to see him fail. They, unwittingly or quite wittingly, are betting against their own nation, which is to say their very own selves, when heaping accusation and criticism against the President. (There is certainly a way to disagree while still honoring a man in his position.) All those years ago, Donald Trump climbed out of that mountain of debt, avoided bankruptcy and rebuilt his empire to new heights, perhaps heights he had never before imagined! The Apprentice was a great success, the real estate markets came roaring back and all of his projects succeeded! It’s a remarkable story of a man, against all odds, refusing to fail and destiny (perhaps God even) aligning to support him. Donald Trump is President today because he did not waver those years and with single-minded focus, overcame the odds! ------- ------- -------- ------- We may not be able to count how many of power and influence are striving against the President right now, and in doing so they are striving against their own nation!? These would rather burn the nation to the ground than see our President succeed. It’s tragic what they are doing, hard to believe, but it is happening. Even many of his ex-supporters are starting to band against him!? It’s actually shocking how many people are making a living off of criticizing this President, it’s embarrassing to watch. Full grown men have repositioned their lives to be critics of the President, Israel, Netanyahu and other nations and leaders whose policies they have no business getting involved with – and yet these “Influencers” are doubling and tripling down on their destructive and carnivorous podcasts and YouTube channels to destroy. These critics, I notice, never actually have a plan. If you listen carefully, they are very good at throwing dirt on another man and his work and yet they themselves have very little to say about what would solve a problem or bring peace to a warring situation. Again, it’s embarrassing to watch and quite grievous to realize that they have followings well into the millions! Doesn’t bode well for what is the heart and soul of our nation. I can see, even from afar, the President’s plan for our nation and its citizenry. In a way, I would like only those supporters of the President to receive the rewards for all that he is doing but those hellbent on destroying the nation, this new-wave of socialists and Marxists will unfortunately receive also the spoils of President Trump’s hard-fought victory together with the rest of us. It's easy for me to place a bet on this President. He’s a real competitor – and he’s a winner. Donald Trump has been fighting battles against terrible odds all throughout his life, and he continues to come out a winner! I would caution anyone: One, don’t be too quick to vote against America, and Two, think twice about voting against Donald Trump! He is going to get his victory in Iran. He will figure out a way to get interest rates down and the economy will boom! I would say that the President will find a way to pay off our debts, but that I am not so certain of – I’m not sure that all these America-destroying radicals will ever support him in this monumental cause. But he will get his golden era! With or without Congress, at this point, it really doesn’t matter, the momentum is with him! He will win his American Golden Era! How long the boom will last? Which states will participate? Some of these things are less certain, but President Trump will get his “Big W”! And America will be blessed for several years to come. You can bet on it! Less certain is when these USA-Destroyers will get their way and burn it all to the ground!? (Remember it’s much easier to destroy than it is to build something beautiful.). I’m afraid that the time will come, and this (socialist) movement against America that will eventually bring it all to a tremulous and dystopian ending. We need a lot of agreement to solve some of these larger issues, the national debt especially. There will be no long-term survival of our nation with these radicals convincing the young people to chain the nation to a larger and more domineering government, spending America into bankruptcy…. It’s a fantasy to think that the (mega) rich people will give up 30-50% of their earnings as some free-will offering to fund a broken and divided government and social programs that have simply never worked. They will pay lawyers and accountants untold fortunes before they will bail out a broken government, and who can blame them!?These radicals are selling a young people the exact same lie that has been perpetuated since the overthrow of the Tsar’s or longer. God’s plan for prosperity (of nations) was always, “Scatter and Subdue” the earth. (But men built Babel, refusing to God’s prosperity plan. Maybe I will write about it at a later time?) To these radicals I say, “GO! And Produce Something Beautiful with your lives!” Stop tearing things apart that took many good men generations to build, instead go and build something beautiful for yourselves! I am sorry you are afraid and angry and hurting. Really, I am. But at the end of your lives, what will you have to show for what you did!? Will you revel in taking down your own nation!? (But I digress…) Trump has some beautiful plans. Just listen to what he envisions. If you don’t like the man, fine. But instead of destroying his plans for peace and prosperity, go out and make for yourself and your own family something beautiful! So many of you are wasting your lives producing destruction and demise upon the earth – how do you not realize that in the end, you will be left empty and filled with regret!? Trade your lives away for some great and wonderful purpose! And building a big government to take more control of the people, is not Great and it is not Beautiful. Don’t kid yourselves.

by Robert Anthony August 3rd 2026 Dear friends, I want to introduce you to a wonderful Mayoral Candidate in Flint Michigan. I have had the pleasure of getting to know Mr Owens over the past few months. He is running as an Independent, which I really enjoy. Many of you know the troubles we have had, as a movement, in election integrity especially, over the years with the MIGOP and Republican Party in general. I dont intend to throw anyone under the bus - and I realize what a hot-button issue election integrity has become - but neither party seems truly interested in solving the problem. While I commend President Trump in his Voter ID pursuits, that is merely one small step in tackling what is clearly a corrupt and broken voting system (in the world's leading democracy). Having said that, Maybe an Independent in Flint is "Just What the Doctor has Ordered"!? Mr Owens is a lawyer but so much more. To start, Micaiah's mother sacrificed her career to educate Micaiah and his siblings on the west-side of the state. His father spent much if not most of his career/ministry going after the children, convincing them to God, thru Jesus Christ! And what an example! Kids dont tithe, children don't carry much of a voice (in our society), they don't exude much political prowess in the "church-world' and yet they remain the future! Few ministers will ever focus their ministry on the kids simply because there is no immediate reward in doing so. And this Godly-example was Micaiah's father. (Praise God for him!) When I first met Micaiah I was ready to convince him not to run. (He doesn't know this. When he reads this article he will be reading this for the first time.) Politics is such a nasty business, filled with such malice, lawlessness and worse - I was ready to convince my new friend away from such horrors - and then, of course, there is quite an emphasis added as he is running for mayor in FLINT, of all places! But this kind-hearted, genuine, intelligent, family-man/lawyer also has some real strength and determination undergirding him! He seems rather aware of the greatness in the task that lies ahead, and he seems totally and completely undaunted, and even prepared! What is also amazing, the law firm where Mr Owens works actually specializes in representing municipalities of various sizes and the government officials who lead them. What a perfect candidate for office! Below are some interviews, video's and links for you all to do your own homework: Great Interview of Mic of Mayor - Click Here Mic Owens interviews in the News! I'm asking the believers to pray for Micaiah and his family. His wife is pregnant with their first child and the task that lies ahead of them win/lose is great, to say the least. Thank you for your prayers, thank you for sharing his campaign with those voters in Flint. Thank you for supporting my friend and brother however you feel compelled.

Few songs capture the heart of America as beautifully as America the Beautiful. Written by Katharine Lee Bates, the hymn is not merely a celebration of the nation’s landscape, heritage, and history—it is a petition that America would be, and remain, a nation marked by virtue, courage, justice, sacrifice, and divine blessing. As we reflect on each stanza, let us turn its words into prayer. O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed His grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea! Heavenly Father, We thank You for the beauty and abundance You have bestowed upon this land. We praise You for the mountains, plains, rivers, forests, and fields that testify to Your creative power and provision. We acknowledge that every blessing comes from Your hand. Lord, continue to shed Your grace upon America. May we never take Your blessings for granted. Crown our nation with genuine brotherhood and unity. Heal divisions, soften hearts, and help us see one another as neighbors rather than enemies. Let charity triumph over hatred, truth over falsehood, and love over discord. May Your grace stretch from sea to shining sea and bind this nation together in righteousness and peace. Amen. O beautiful for pilgrim feet, Whose stern impassioned stress A thoroughfare for freedom beat Across the wilderness! America! America! God mend thine every flaw, Confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law! Lord God, We thank You for those who came before us—men and women who endured hardship, sacrifice, and uncertainty in pursuit of freedom. We remember those who built communities, defended liberty, and sought a better future for generations yet unborn. Father, mend every flaw within our nation. Where we have strayed from the truth, correct us. Where we have become arrogant, humble us. Where we have become complacent, awaken us. Confirm our souls in self-control and wisdom. Teach us that true freedom is not license, but the ability to choose what is right. Strengthen our respect for justice and the rule of law, that liberty may flourish under Your guidance and protection. Amen. O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife, Who more than self their country loved, And mercy more than life! America! America! May God thy gold refine, Till all success be nobleness, And every gain divine! Almighty God, We thank You for the heroes who sacrificed for the freedom and security of others. We honor those who placed duty above comfort, service above self-interest, and love of country above personal gain. Lord, refine us as gold is refined in the fire. Purify our motives, our institutions, and our leadership. Let success never be measured solely by wealth, power, or influence, but by character, integrity, and service. May our achievements reflect Your goodness and glorify Your name. Teach us to value mercy, honor, and sacrifice above selfish ambition. Let every gain be used for noble purposes and for the blessing of others. Amen. O beautiful for patriot dream That sees beyond the years Thine alabaster cities gleam, Undimmed by human tears! America! America! God shed His grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea! Gracious Father, Give us a vision for the future that is rooted in hope and guided by Your truth. Help us see beyond today’s challenges and work toward a nation where justice prevails, families flourish, communities prosper, and every person is treated with dignity. Lord, may our cities shine not merely with material success, but with righteousness, compassion, and opportunity. Comfort those who suffer and strengthen those who labor to heal the brokenhearted. Let us be people who seek peace, pursue justice, and extend mercy. Once again, we ask that You shed Your grace upon America. Crown our nation with brotherhood, unity, and mutual respect. May Your blessings extend from sea to shining sea, and may future generations inherit a nation that honors You and reflects Your purposes. In the name of Almighty God, we pray. Amen. A Prayer for America Abba Father, We thank You for the blessings You have poured upon this nation throughout its history. Forgive our sins, strengthen our faith, and guide our leaders with wisdom and courage. Protect our freedoms, preserve our unity, and help us remain a people committed to truth, justice, and virtue. May America always seek Your grace above all earthly treasures. May we be a nation that honors You in word and deed, and may Your hand of blessing rest upon this land from sea to shining sea. Amen.

By Robert Anthony May 24th This year Memorial Day and Pentecost almost fell on the same day. Of course Memorial Day traces it's roots back to the Civil War is a memorial for all our soldiers and military men who gave their lives in the line of duty, preserving freedom for this nation. Pentecost was the day the Holy Spirit was given to Jesus' brand new apostles and is widely accepted as the birth day of His Church. What a powerful time of remembrance this weekend! We are memorializing two groups of soldiers this weekend: the soldiers who died for our United State of America and the mighty men and women of God, those spiritual soldiers who first birthed Jesus' Church!! All Glory be to God. These precious ones who we remember laid down their lives so that we might live, live free, live free to seek our God - speaking of those first apostles of the Lamb, we have the scriptures and know the most precious things of God because of them! But what if no one is willing to suffer for a cause!? The reason we have these days of memorial is to wake up our hearts and souls to remember those few who chose to trade their lives away for a cause: America as a beacon of light and freedom in a world still highly enslaved to ruling classes, those who have little to no thought for their subjects, and, the first Church, the first believers and those first apostles of Christ, many of whom laid down their lives for the sake of this gospel, for it to be known to the whole world! And for what are we trading away our lives? Our days are passing. Hours and moments are past that we will not get back, ever again. We are trading our youth, our hopes and dreams, we are trading away our most precious moments on this earth, and for what? Will our lives be worthy to be remembered? Even if only by a few, will we love them enough that they would memorialize our lives and the time they had with us? We aren't going to get a second shot at this! There won't be a "do-over". What we choose do with these days God has given us will either be remembered or they will be forgotten, for all of eternity... Sobering thought. The hours we spend watching television and the news. The hours we spend wasting away time on our phones. The countless days we spend trying to make more money (and yet hardly getting ahead). Sobering. But these are the messages we must be writing and sharing among ourselves. "Make this life count, Lord!" I had two grandfathers serve in US wars: WW2 and Korea. My grandfather that fought in WW2 was a real war hero. Was he honored in his life? I can tell you this: he died at 74 years old while working at a Taco Bell as a cashier. He was quite literally a war hero. He was with the liberating forces who first discovered Hitler's concentration camps. We should honor our veterans, especially the veterans for foreign wars. We should buy their coffee's, pay for their meals at restaurants, honor them with kind words and acknowledgement of their service and more! It's the very least we can do. Let's honor our soldiers this weekend - but we should also honor our ministers, our missionaries, our evangelists and other men and women who have devoted themselves of holiness, a life of service and devotion to God and man, trying to inspire the world to Jesus and further into His kingdom. Some other ministers might not deserve much honor. Some of today's ministers are practically robbing from the poor to make themselves rich, I have seen this far too often. But we should honor the people who are actually living their lives for the Kingdom of God, in Spirit and in truth. And in honoring these precious servants of God and man, we might just wake ourselves up, coming away from abject mediocrity and finally come to faith: a life worthy of the kingdom of God (and His Christ)! When the body starts to wear down, when the grey hairs start to replace the color we once had - when we enter the twilight of our lives, will we live with regret or reward? The reward of a life well-lived before God is our testimony, and no man will take that away from us. But the punishment of a wasted life is regret, wishing we could start over and try it all again but knowing we can not. On this Memorial Day and Pentecost Weekend let us take an account of our lives remembering how short truly it is. Let us honor those who have come before us and traded away their lives for some great cause, especially winning souls! Let us give God thanks for them and in doing so, bless our own hearts and souls. Time is short. And it's never too late to awaken to righteousness. It's never too late to give our lives over to God for a great purpose and calling! And it all starts in prayer. It's not too late. It's not too late to tell your long lost son (or daughter) that you love him (or her), it's not too late to seek forgiveness from the souls that we have wronged, it's not too late to love your wife or husband and start your marriage over again, it's not too late to give God your life and allow Him to turn it into something worthy of eternity! God will redeem the time, He can redeem the days and years that were stolen from us. He's just that powerful. He just needs a willing soul. God bless you all this Memorial Day and Pentecost Weekend. I really love so many of you reading this! Love to the saints and soldiers, The Best is Still yet to Come, In Jesus name, Robert

By Robert Anthony May 19, 2026 Adam walked with God. So Adam must have learned something about meeting with God face to face. It’s such a curious story—how the Lord chose to begin His creation. I often think about it. He could have started the world quite differently—really any way He wanted to… The Lord could have made tens of thousands of men out of the dirt. He could have given Adam hundreds of wives (to multiply the earth faster). God could have made Adam and Eve on the same day. But He did not. There must be a purpose in all of this, even from the very beginning. Adam and Eve both got to walk with the Lord God as He would come into the midst of the Garden of Eden. It must have been absolutely amazing for them whenever they would get that face-time with God! Could you imagine? It seems to me that here at the end, we should look back to the beginning — wherein man walked with God, which was always His desire for us — and get insight into how we prepare ourselves to return to walking with Him face to face. This intimate story speaks volumes to me! Adam was first alone with his Father, and then, sometime later, God put Adam to sleep and made Eve. The Bible isn’t clear about how long Adam was with God alone before God gave him his Eve, but what is clear is that Adam first had a season alone, with God in the garden. And being alone with God now, what would He say to us? Are we comfortable being alone with God? When we are alone with Him, what will we say? I think the whole story of preparing ourselves for eternity begins with this very simple, very intimate reality of coming to know God—even now—intimately and uniquely. Perhaps as Christians, or as followers of God, we think it better to go out and win souls, to do some great work in these last days for God—to show Him our love and convince Him we are “good enough” for heaven. But I’m not so sure that is what God is looking for. Jesus even said, “I will build My Church.” It’s curious how little we hear of this fundamental premise of Jesus’ ministry and encouragement to us. Of course, we evangelize. We tell the world about Jesus because it’s so enjoyable to win souls to God! But at the end of the day, Jesus is building HIS Church… because after all, it’s quite literally His. I like to think that as Adam got to know his Father, at some point God decided Adam was ready for more responsibility but also a reward! God put Adam to sleep and fashioned out of Adam’s side a woman (for she came out of man). And Adam was immensely blessed! He must have realized it. So then Adam had to teach his wife everything he knew. I don’t know if there has been much preaching on this—but logically speaking, since Adam was older than Eve and had already spent time alive in the garden with God, Adam would have to show Eve around. Adam probably taught her about the food and trees of the garden—even the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil—and it seems very clear to me that it was Adam’s responsibility to help his wife learn to live in the garden and also learn to walk with God. (I hope you can see that.) Here at the end, once we are walking with God and comfortably right with Him, once we let Him lead us away from sin and learn to be a different and set-apart person on the earth, we should probably bring all that we have learned to our Eves—to our wives, to our most precious gift from our Father! But we should probably do a better job than Adam… Why didn’t he protect Eve? Have you ever considered it? Why didn’t Adam stand up to that dragon, that serpent—the devil who is Satan—when he was tempting Eve, and tell the devil to leave her alone!? It seems Adam didn’t try at all to guard his wife from that evil. Remember, Adam was standing right next to her, watching and listening to the whole thing as it unfolded! (Genesis 3:6 “…she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.”) So perhaps in preparing ourselves to meet with God, we should help the most important person to us in the whole world also prepare herself to meet with God face to face. What do you think? There are piles of scriptures telling us to love our wives, keep our family close to God, run a godly household, etc. There are many scriptures about those who would lead the body of Christ, and every time Paul was writing about these leaders and teachers he mentioned the family and how vital it is that these men know how to keep their families with God—or else they aren’t fit to lead! In preparation to meet with God, we prepare our own hearts and souls and then, almost in tandem with preparing ourselves, we prepare our families also—beginning with the most important person in our life (after God), our wife! And now, after having presented those closest to us to God, making them ready to be with God forever—now are we ready to go and convince the world to Jesus!! If you find this article overly elementary or incorrect, I would hope you would write your opinions in the comments below. I would like to hear from you. If I am missing something from Scripture, I would love to hear your thoughts. But this is my focus—keep my wife and children before the Lord’s face, keep my own soul ready to meet Him, and then perhaps He will give me other families to bless with His living Word, His living Spirit, and Truth! I love them all so much. I am so blessed that they all love the Lord with their whole hearts, the same way I do!! At least, even if I fail with my life and ministry and business and whatever else I do with this life—at least I can look Him, look my God right in the eyes and say, “At least I did a good job with my family! I loved them with everything inside of me. And I kept them in Your way…” To me, that would be enough…. There are so many things I would like to do for Him in this final hour of the world, but really most of that is up to Him—the One who is building His Church. I am content to wait on Him while He writes His story in me and upon the earth. Truthfully, I don’t know if I am ready. To think about standing in front of Him face to face is pretty overwhelming. So I pray, “Lord, make me ready to stand before You. Purge out of me all things that offend and anything defiled.” Sure, it’s a furnace, and it’s hot and uncomfortable, but if that’s where Jesus is, that’s also where I want to be…. I hope this blesses you all. Soon and very soon we are going to see the King!! Until His day, Robert

By David Silver May 13th 2026 There is a well known joke here in Israel that when we agree to a cease-fire with our enemies that is forced upon us, generally by the various presidents of the USA, Israel always 'ceases' and the enemy continues to 'fire.' The not so funny thing about that joke is that it is usually true. Surprisingly, after the cease-fire between the US, Iran and unwillingly, Israel, Iran has not directly fired at Israel, but no doubt Iran is encouraging Hezbollah to break the cease-fire between Israel and Lebanon, which they have been doing increasingly as the days go on. As much as nearly every Israeli wants to live in peace with our neighbors and the rest of the world, most of us who have seen many such cease-fires, do not like them. If your nation is at war with another nation, and your army gains a clear victory, the other side, when they realise they have no hope, will be looking for a cease-fire, and most normal countries will honour the terms of the agreement. For instance Germany and Japan realized they were totally defeated, and made no plans to violate the armistice. To everyone's relief the war ended, peace was restored, and everyone prospered. However when you are at war with a regime that is under the influence of a demonic ideology, entering into a premature cease-fire before the enemy is crushed beyond any chance of rising up again, is a very foolish and dangerous thing to do, especially when your side has the upper hand in the conflict at the time. I have to admit that every time Israel has been forced to stop fighting a war that was forced upon us by Hamas, Hezbollah or Iran, I was very angry and felt sick in my stomach. Our leaders had been promising us that the IDF and IAF (Israeli Air Force) would not stop until the enemy was destroyed and would never be able to attack us again. Even after the horrors of October 7th, which never could have happened if the USA had not stopped Israel from doing much more damage to Hamas in previous wars, Israel capitulated to the demands of President Trmp, and agreed to a cease-fire leaving Hamas in a place where they can rebuild, and that is exactly what they have been doing - refusing to disarm and increasing control over the people of Gaza. This cease-fire will ultimately fail. Agreeing to a cease-fire in that situation usually has the following result... It takes the pressure off the enemy forces and gives them time to regroup and rearm. It often causes your own forces to lose ground that cost many of your military men's lives. Many times more were wounded, some with life-changing injuries. It makes the huge amount of money and energy that your country spent on getting the upper hand, an almost criminal waste, when you have people living in poverty. It sends the current enemy, and others who are watching, a message that your leaders are soft and do not have the fortitude to fight to the end. This further encourages them to demand ridiculous conditions for the cease-fire to become permanent. You can be sure such an enemy will rebuild and try to destroy your nation at sometime in the future. In the Koran there is a word 'Hudna' which can mean truce or cease-fire, but it can also mean a pause to buy time to rearm and regroup. And that is exactly what Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah are doing with the American leaders who don't seem to understand these things. In His word the Lord shows King Saul through the prophet Samuel how to deal with the enemy 1 Samuel 15:3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’” In 1939, as Hitler's Nazi Regime was growing in power, against the advice of Winston Churchill, PM Neville Chamberlain went to Germany to meet Hilter. He achieved his goal and returned home with a big smile on his face, waving a sheet of paper in his hand, declaring "peace in our time." The paper was a promise by Hitler to use diplomacy rather than war to settle future disputes, which he soon violated and WW2 broke out. At the end of the war, 6 years later, more than 80 million military people and civilians were dead. When I hear President Trump pushing for a cease-fire with Iran, and forcing Israel to be a part of it I shudder in despair. When he says that he is dealing with a new regime, I know that this is a lie. It is the same regime, with even more evil leaders who have replaced the ones killed by Israeli and US air strikes when the war began. Does he not understand that radical Muslims will never surrender or give up their openly stated goals of destroying the 'big Satan' and the 'little Satan.' ? God forbid, if that were to ever happen, who would save the world from being forced to convert to Sunni Islam or die ? We know from the Bible, that God will not allow that to happen, but if President Trump continues with the 3 cease-fires that are in place at this time with Iran, Hamas and Lebanon, we in Israel know from nearly 80 years of experiences with our Muslim enemies, ending a war with a cease-fire is the most foolish and dangerous thing to do. Unless you finish the war you will have to face that same enemy again sometime in the future. Remember: Ending a war is not the same as finishing a war.

Today, I presented this sermon to the church body where I attend. It took 22 minutes to present, but a lifetime to learn the truth of this message. Fill in gaps as you read, and you can hear God speaking clearly. Introduction - Good morning, everyone. - Today, we gather to celebrate mothers. Something we should probably do every day. - For some, this day is joyful—filled with gratitude, warm memories, and appreciation. - For others, Mother’s Day carries pain and remembrance. Some are grieving mothers who are gone. Some long to become mothers. Some carry wounds from broken relationships. Some mothers feel exhausted, unseen, or inadequate. So let us acknowledge that: Motherhood is sacred, but costly. And yet in measuring the cost, we see something extraordinary: We see reflections of Jesus Christ. Primary Texts: Proverbs 31:28 Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: -I JUST RETURNED ON WEDNESDAY FROM MY AUNT’S FUNERAL IN SOUTH DAKOTA. -THREE GRANDKIDS, TWO GREAT GRANDKIDS - FOUR OF TWELVE SIBLINGS PRESENT TO REMEMBER HER. -ALL ATTENDED AND CELEBRATED A LIFE. -MANY WONDERFUL AND TRUE THINGS WERE SAID ABOUT LINDA. BUT WHAT STUCK OUT TO ME WAS THE THEME OF “PRESENCE.” SHE WAS ALWAYS THERE TO ATTEND FAMILY EVENTS, AND SHE WAS ALWAYS PRESENT FOR MY FAMILY AS WELL. WHETHER WE WERE IN THE U.S. OR OVERSEAS, HER CHURCH’S PRAYERS WERE ALWAYS THERE. Now let me be clear: No mother is Jesus. No human perfectly reflects Him. But God, in His wisdom, has woven into motherhood remarkable glimpses of Christ’s character. The comfort.The sacrifice.The nurturing.A fierce desire to protect.The patient correction.The enduring love. The presence. A godly mother often becomes one of the clearest earthly pictures of Christ that many children will ever know. Today I want to focus on one specific truth: A mother’s presence reflects Jesus’ presence in our lives. Because Jesus is not merely a Savior who acts from a distance. He is Emmanuel. God with us. And mothers, in extraordinary ways, embody that same ministry of presence. 1. Jesus Was Present One of the most beautiful truths of the Gospel is that God came near. John 1:14 says: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” Jesus did not save humanity remotely. He entered the mess. He walked dusty roads. He sat with the broken. He touched lepers. He held children. He wept at gravesides. He stayed present. That is the heart of Christ. And mothers understand this deeply. A mother’s ministry is not flashy. It is profoundly present. Late nights. Early mornings. Sick beds. School pickups. Quiet prayers. Listening. Holding. Waiting. Showing up. Children may not remember every word their mother said. But they remember HER presence. Because presence communicates: “I am here.” “You matter.” “You are not alone.” Is that not exactly what Jesus says? “I am with you always.” (Matthew 28:20) 2. Mothers Reflect Christ Through Comfort Isaiah 66:13 says: “As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you.” Think about that. When God wanted to describe His comfort… He used the image of a mother. Because a mom’s comfort is powerful. A child falls and runs to mom. A fever rises, and the child wants mom. Nightmares come—and suddenly only mom will do. Why? Because mothers often become safe places. Jesus is our safe place, too. Psalm 46 says: “God is our refuge and strength.” Jesus comforts the hurting. He calms fears. He steadies anxious hearts. He whispers peace into storms. And mothers often mirror that ministry. Not because they are perfect. But because God designed comfort into motherhood. Some of us can still remember our mother’s voice calming our fears. A hand on the forehead. A blanket tucked in. A whispered prayer beside the bed. That kind of comfort reflects Jesus. 3. Mothers Reflect Christ Through Sacrifice Motherhood is costly. There is physical sacrifice. Emotional and mental sacrifice. Financial sacrifice. Sleep sacrifice. Career sacrifice. Mothers pour themselves out. And this reflects Jesus. Philippians 2 says Christ: “Made himself nothing…” Jesus emptied Himself. He gave. He served. He sacrificed. John 15:13: “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” Many mothers live this verse in slow motion. Not always dramatic. But daily. Tiny acts of dying to self. Packing lunches. Cleaning messes. Driving everywhere. Staying awake and sometimes crying alongside. Carrying burdens children don’t even know exist. That sacrificial love reflects Christ. And many children never realize until adulthood how much was given for them. Sometimes motherhood means loving when no one says thank you. Serving when nobody notices. Giving when your own tank is empty. And if that describes you— Jesus sees it. Every unseen sacrifice. Every hidden prayer. Every exhausted act of love. 4. Mothers Reflect Christ Through Protection Jesus described Himself as a protector. Luke 13:34: “How often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings…” That is protective love. Jesus protects. He shelters. He covers. Mothers understand this instinctively. You threaten a mother’s child, and you awaken something fierce. MAMA BEAR comes to mind. A tenderness can become courage instantly. Why? 1 Corinthians 13 says: “Love always protects…” A mother watches. Discerns danger. Warns. Corrects. Guards hearts. Sets boundaries. Teaches wisdom. Sometimes protection means saying no. Sometimes love looks like and is discipline. Jesus does this, too. Because protection is not merely comfort. It is also correction. 5. Mothers Reflect Christ Through Patience How many times does a mother repeat herself? Brush your teeth. Pick up your shoes. Do your homework. Be kind to your sister. No, not like that. Try again. Again. & Again. & Again. And somehow… patience remains. That patience reflects Christ. How patient has Jesus been with us? How many times has He taught us the same lesson? How many times have we failed and been invited back? Lamentations says: “His mercies are new every morning.” Mothers often live that reality. Yesterday may have been chaos. But today begins with fresh mercy. That sounds like Jesus. 6. Mothers Reflect Christ Through Seeing Potential Jesus saw what others missed. A fisherman became Peter. A tax collector became Matthew. A persecutor became Paul. He saw a future where others only saw failure. Mothers often do this. A child says: “I can’t.” Mother says: “Yes, you can.” A teenager stumbles, but nevertheless - A Mother still sees purpose. A child fails. Mother still sees the possibilities. That reflects Christ. Jesus does not define us by our worst moment. He sees what grace can become. And mothers often carry that same hopeful vision. 7. Mothers Reflect Christ Through Presence at the Cross John 19 tells us something remarkable. While many fled— Mary stayed. John 19:25: “Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother…” Think about that. She could not stop the suffering. She could not change the outcome. She could not remove the pain. But she stayed. That may be one of the most Christlike things a mother can do: Stay present in suffering. When your child hurts. When they fail. When they rebel. When life breaks them. When answers don’t come. A Mother’s Presence matters. Mary’s ministry at the cross was not fixing anything. It was a faithful presence. And Jesus noticed. Even in agony, He cared for her. “Woman, here is your son.” A Mother’s Presence matters. Sometimes mothers carry guilt because they cannot fix everything. But not everything can be fixed. Sometimes the ministry is simply staying. And that reflects Jesus. Because Jesus stays; ever present in times of trouble. 8. Presence Is More Powerful Than Perfection Many mothers feel inadequate. “I lost my temper.” “I should have done more.” “I failed here.” “I wish I could go back.” Hear this clearly: Your children do not need perfection. They need YOU. Jesus is perfect. Parents are not. The goal is not flawless motherhood. The goal is faithful love. Showing up. Apologizing when needed. Loving consistently. Pointing children to Christ. Presence often shapes hearts more than polished performance. 9. Spiritual Motherhood Also Reflects Christ Not every woman is a biological mother. But motherhood is not only biological. Some women nurture spiritually. Mentor. Teach. Disciple. Pray. Encourage. Guide. Paul spoke of spiritual family. The kingdom includes spiritual mothers. Women who pour life into others reflect Christ, too. So if today is painful because of infertility, singleness, loss, or different circumstances— please hear this: Your nurturing presence still matters in God’s kingdom. 10. The Greatest Motherly Reflections Look Beyond Self As beautiful as motherhood is— it is still only a reflection. Every human mother falls short. Even the best mothers are imperfect. Because the purpose of earthly love is to be selfless. To be like and reflect Christ. If your mother loved you well— thank God. She reflected something true. If your mother failed you— Jesus remains what human love could not be. Perfectly present. Perfectly faithful. Perfectly compassionate. Perfectly sacrificial. Human motherhood points us toward divine love. Closing Challenge To mothers: Thank you. For the prayers. For the tears. For the rides. For the meals. For the sacrifice. For the fierce love. For staying. You may feel unnoticed. But heaven sees. And your Christlike presence matters. To children: Honor your mothers. Not because they were perfect. But because love deserves gratitude. Call them. Thank them. Forgive where needed. Bless them. To all of us: Let us become more like Jesus in our presence. Because the world needs more people who show up. More comfort. More sacrifice. More mercy. More faithful love. More forgiveness. Final Illustration MY AUNT LINDA DISPLAYED THESE CHARACTERISTICS TO HER FAMILY. SHE CONTINUES TO DO THE SAME TODAY IN THE PRESENCE OF CHRIST. MY MOM DID THE SAME, REMINDING ME THAT SHE PRAYED FOR ME OFTEN WHEN OVERSEAS AND SHE KNEW I NEEDED PRAYER; BUT DIDN’T KNOW HOW MUCH UNTIL I CAME HOME AND TOLD HER HOW MUCH PRAYER WAS NECESSARY FOR ME TO COME HOME AT ALL. MY BRIDE RAISED TWO AWESOME CHILDREN. SACRIFICING HER CAREER AND COMFORT TO BE PRESENT WHEN I ALL TOO OFTEN COULDN’T. LET US NEVER FORGET THE POWER OF MOTHERS, LET US NEVER FORGET TO CARE FOR CHILDREN WHEN THEIR MOTHERS ARE ABSENT FOR ANY REASON. Imagine a frightened child in a thunderstorm. Lightning cracks. Thunder shakes the walls. The child runs into the parents’ room. The storm outside has not changed. But everything gets better because of a mother’s presence. That is motherhood at its best. And that is Jesus. The storms may still rage. But Christ says: “I am here.” And many of us first learned what that felt like because of the PRESENCE of a mother. Closing Prayer Lord Jesus, Thank You for mothers. Thank You for every act of unseen sacrifice. Thank You for every prayer whispered over sleeping children. Thank You for comfort, protection, patience, and faithful love. For mothers who are weary, strengthen them. For mothers who grieve, comfort them. For those who long to be mothers, meet them with tenderness. For those carrying wounds from motherhood, bring healing. Help us all reflect Your character more faithfully. And may every mother’s love point ultimately to the perfect love found in Jesus Christ. In Your name we pray, Amen.

By Robert Anthony Apr 7 th , 2026 Nations go to war only after all else fails.  After years and even decades of diplomacy, negotiations, and often compromise, at times the chasm that is disagreement grows wide and the parties start to lose hope that bridging it is possible.  When hope in finding a solution that can be mutually agreed upon is lost, especially after decades of efforts to span across those differences for a resolution, war becomes inevitable.  War does not start publicly at first but in the hearts and minds of men.  There remains a certain competition among the nations; that competition is for money, power, the influence of ideas and vision for tomorrow and everyone involved is rather convinced that they are right .  And I should note here that this more modern era in which we are living, although it seems evolved and having grown past the constant conflict that raged throughout the ancient world, has merely better marketing and propaganda than did its predecessors – the nations are entirely capable and willing to enter into the same kind of “war to end all wars” way of believing, as ever.  The only way this competitiveness seems to remain more benign is when all the major players perceive that they are winning – and winning usually means making enough  money. And this power struggle is explicitly linked to money, and lots of it.  Some want money to feel safe at night, as if money can solve their every trouble, some want all this money to fund their crusade and next adventure, some have grand ideals and are convinced that only a vast fortune can facilitate, some are far less complex seeing money as a zero-sum-game and only want to win, at all costs – whatever lurks within the hearts of powerful men it almost doesn’t matter, their lust is inextricably married to riches, and lots of it! Everyone knows that war is bad for business but not for everyone.  Some bankers, corporate elite and immensely powerful men have war-gamed out that mutually assured destruction could actually benefit them in the long run – sort of a “last man standing” strategy wherein those who survive achieve greater power and rule.  It sends a chill down my spine to consider that these archaic and anarchic strategies have actually been prescribed by the leaders of our world, even by those have who fought in World Wars and seen the horrors of battle with their own eyes!   Oh, what a mess of things does even a little fear, once crept into the heart. -------------------------------------------- The world is already at war – but the war first begins within the nations, within our politics and domestic strife.  Peace has been taken from the earth and the overwhelming majority are content to duke it out .  In our own America, it’s not merely the Republicans and Democrats at each other’s throats anymore, now Republicans go to war with their own party even against their own President, and the Democrats are not entirely so different.  What happened to us?  How did we end up here and is there a way back? Force and dominance seem to be ruling the hour.  The charm offensive has been completely replaced by the numbers: who has the numbers to win.  Morale?  High Hopes?  A Sense of the Common Good?  These altruistic matters of the heart will not have much of a say in a world a war, wherein only the strongest will survive.  (Some will say I am naïve, perhaps.)  And who can stand against this new and prevailing wind? Our nation has severe and end-of-days type threats facing her – and chief among them is our national debt crisis.  And yet where is everybody!?  I fear we are at war, every man against his own countryman – and each year it seems to get worse.  What if the prescribed power of the day simply isn’t working?  What if business as usual won’t save us from this mess that we are in?  Then what?  What other tools do we have in the tool belt!?  I fear the heart and morale of our America has been denigrated and even warred against for so long that we have forgotten any other way to be. We have a city called, “Philadelphia” the “City of Brotherly Love”.  I would like to think that there was a time wherein we genuinely loved each other in this nation, but I think that nostalgia is too often untrue and we have to see the past with more sober eyes.  Perhaps it has never been better than this?  It is truly possible that this is the best it has ever been in our nation –  we must consider this and maybe even forget about the past.  If we are to ever come close to realizing this “Philadelphia” in reality, we must not look to the past to find hope. My fellow American’s, we either learn to love each other, even in our differences, or else it seems that all will be lost.  Unless something dramatically changes, and fast, the politics will soon gridlock, the rulers already at war will inadvertently tear this nation apart – and our enemies will salivate as they watch us weaken and turn sickly. And then who will come to our aide? It is a desperate hour.  Washington DC and our state capitals do not need another political ruler or power broker.  The hour calls for someone more like a preacher or maybe even a Chaplain!  A voice provoking the hearts and minds of the nation to “Philadelphia” to a place of concern one for another and to brotherly love.  But who would elevate voices such as these?  In a world at war, in a nation at war, how would something so reasonable end up receiving a platform and a position? Pray, brothers and sisters.  We have only a little time for the miracle to happen.  Soon there will be no going back, soon we will be past a certain threshold and all will be lost.  Do you think I exaggerate?  Open your eyes to the truth, see the desperation of the hour.  The nation must rally together, in love and for the cause that is America – or else it will all be over.  Should it end, the world will be remade by several of our competitors and trust me, they do not share allegiance to these ideas of diversity, equity and inclusion.   The world is a harsh and brutal place which has been held together for about a century by American, Judeo-Christian ideals.  We have restrained, kept at bay, a myriad of evils from flooding the world with corruption, servitude and the worst dystopian nightmare ever before realized in the history of the earth – and it is all at the very door.  A new generation must arise, a new people with a new vision for the future must refuse to enable the status quo, no, not for another day – and they must become something new, something better, a people filled with faith, and hope, and love, unwavering in their pursuit.  There is no other way. I would be remiss except I mention now that all true  love comes from above.  The Spirit that God alone gives to us has the power to make these sweeping changes and reforms that we so desperately need.  Man simply doesn’t have it in him, not without God.  The life-saving injection of faith, hope and love that we are starving for, comes only from above.  And we can ask for it and He will give it to us.  And we can be saved. Do you want to start over?  Do you want to start from the beginning and build something new, something sacred and something set apart?  This is what it looks like, receiving this Spirit of love from God, and being made new.  Then and only then will our families be made new, our homes and schools, and churches, and governments, having received this love, everything will be made new.   And our nation will be saved. There is no other way. This is our only Hope .

A top-level analysis of strategic possibilities regarding the fallout of Epic Fury. High risk, high reward. This analysis assumes Iran's dictatorship is fully defeated. There are several things to highlight when it comes to the situation in Iran and Israel right now. These talking points are designed to highlight some of the likely global effects worth being aware of, to track how they unfold in real time, and to anticipate the future. It is not intended to be exhaustive, as that could fill a book. This should also spark a healthy debate, because that means people are thinking about these possibilities and others and accounting for them in what I always call “The Global Game of Thrones.” CHINA : In less than 60 days, the two primary oil suppliers to China have been taken out. Iran and Venezuela are critical to China’s energy needs. RUSSIA : Iran supplied Russia with cheap, expendable drones and other weaponry, which allowed Russia to maintain a large part of its operations in Ukraine. Iran was also a key nation of influence in the regions that Russia maintained ties with to ensure their Southern borders were not overrun by Islamists, while content to let the Islamists in Iran focus on the United States. CHINA and RUSSIA : With China losing its two main suppliers of oil, it will have to explore alternative sources. The allied relationship between China and Russia is still relatively new, given the many decades during which they were adversaries. China might look to Eastern Siberia as a source of energy. Still, the question is whether it will seek a trading partner in Russia or turn Russia back into an adversary and consider a military move into Siberia? NORTH KOREA : China sustains North Korea. If China’s ailing economy suffers devastating consequences, North Korea could either become more militaristic, seeking appeasement from nations around the world, or collapse under its own weight UNITED STATES, CHINA, RUSSIA : Whether by plan or by accident, severing the relationship between China and Russia could occur or at least accelerate because of Operation Epic Fury. If this happens, China would lose a potential energy trading partner, and a turn toward Europe by Russia could allow for the rebuilding of positive relations and more open trade when the Ukraine war ends. SAUDI ARABIA: The Saudis and Iranians have maintained an adversarial relationship for a long time. This is not only geopolitical, but also religious. Saudi Arabia is Sunni Muslim, and Iran is Shia. Saudi Arabia will support America’s operations in Iran because it sees an opportunity to grow to a level of hegemony in the Middle East and Central Asia. IRAN NOW: Iran is further isolating itself from Gulf Cooperation Council nations as it attacks nations in the region. Those not currently signatories to the Abraham Accords could soon desire to sign on. IRAN THEN: Iran could return to being a regional ally of the U.S. in time. The days and months ahead will be challenging and ugly if internal conflicts and power struggles occur and turn violent. If Iran can peacefully transition to a government structure that enables it to prosper and remain generally free, this will positively affect global security. Even if something short of a democratic government takes over, if they do cease to be regionally belligerent, this is still a net gain. In an ideal situation, I can see Iran changing its name back to Persia. HAMAS, HEZBOLLAH, HOUTHIS: By losing Iranian support, they would become ineffective. TURKEY, IRAQ, THE KURDS: As the Kurdish population is in Iraq, Iran, and Turkey, they could see an opportunity in Iran to establish a separate state for their own people. This would concern Turkey and Iraq if the Kurds sought a greater Kurdistan encompassing the areas where they already live, with Erbil, Iraq, as its capital. AFGHANISTAN: Iranian diplomatic vehicles are already arriving in Herat, Afghanistan, as they escape Iran. Iran and Afghanistan have been at odds over water access, and Iran’s distraction could provide the Taliban an opportunity to seize more control over precious water supplies and cause greater future potential conflict with a new Iranian government. How aggressively the Taliban could move depends on whether the Pakistan-Afghanistan border conflict grows or calms down. TURKEMENISTAN AND PIPELINES: Personnel from the Trans Adriatic Pipeline have shut down the project and returned home. This is one indicator of potential energy conflicts across the region. There are other pipelines and conflicts possible, but there are too many to put here. Such as the BTK.
