A “PROPHETIC” TALE OF PERSECUTION, RESISTANCE, AND COURAGE IN FAR FUTURE TIME.
Imagine, if you will, a small group of archaeologists working in and under an ancient building high over the banks of the Tomak River, close to a small city named Andria, in the country known as The United Republics of the East (U.R.E). It is a building that has survived the ravages of time and the hatred of malevolent forces over most of its existence. Perhaps sometime in the mid-part of the 28th century these archaeologists make a historical find underneath that newly renovated and restored ancient building on the banks of that river, a building that was around 900 years old at that time and that had been used as a church by the Sectof Jesus Followers for a century or more, during a time of severe persecution of Christians. Imagine, then, that in a sealed metal box buried under that church over 300 yearspreviously, they discover a personal journal written by an Elder of that Church. So here is his and his Christian brethren’s story of fear and faithfulness, of peace and violence, of resistance and defeats, of loves for each other and of their Savior, as written down sometime in the early 25th century—near the end of the “Dark Time”--far, far into our own future, which we who live today in the year 2024 will bring about by what we do, or DON’T do!

Should the US Rethink Its Mid-East Policies?
- By Joseph M. Bianchi
There are times when even world powers need to step back from long held policies that have been the hallmark of what they consider to be protecting their interests.
Countries do this, not because of cowardice or to save money allocations, but for very pragmatic reasons: to prevent wide-spread conflagrations that may endanger, not only them, but many other countries and people.
Such may very well be the issue at hand for the US vis-à-vis its Mid-East policy. While Israel has been a long-standing ally for many years—and it has been American policy to fund and support it—it is now involved in a conflict that that has seen thousands killed, including now US service people.

A Biblical Perspective on Unintelligent on Other Planets
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
This article is related to the previous one. However, there are those addressing the idea of intelligent life from another planet; however, this article addresses unintelligent life. Unlike the concept of intelligent life on other planets, unintelligent life in no way raises any questions concerning any biblical doctrines. However, if it is ever discovered it needs to be seen from day one from a biblical perspective because it would used to attack the Bible.

America’s Existential Immigration Crisis
- By Mike Scruggs
Securing the Border—Absolutely Essential—but Far from Enough
A Warning to Republican Primary Voters
According to the Center for Immigration Studies, the Biden Administration released nearly 1.4 million illegal immigrants into the United States in fiscal year 2023 alone. Nearly a million of these were processed and aided by the U.S. Border Patrol. Other agencies processed about 400,000. This amounts to a separate Biden immigration system with outrageously inadequate or no documentation and little regard for national security, public safety, and economic impact. Moreover, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has admitted that another 600,000 entered the United States without apprehension—the “gotaways.” Illegal immigrants entering across our border totaled nearly 2.0 million. Another 850,000 overstayed their visas and blended into the economy. A frequent example of this is when an agricultural guest-worker violates their visa and disappears in order to take a higher paid job for an employer that does not require E-Verify immigration status. These forms of illegal immigration are totaling 2.85 million per year, almost three times the 1.0 million legal immigrants issued visas in 2023.

To Reiterate: It Would Appear That We’re Living In “Perilous Times”
- By W.H. Lamb
Let me open this long “cyber sermon” with a side-by-side comparison of 2nd Timothy 3:1-5, in both my favorite “old” 1599 Geneva Bible and in my favorite “new” New International Version of the Bible. I know that some readers are unfamiliar with the Geneva Bible, and some are adamantly against reading any “modern” version of God’s Word beyond the 1611 Authorized KJV—but please indulge me, and we’ll get through this. Here is what the Triune Creator of All has to say about the “times” we are living in:

Finite Mind of Man
- By Jim S. Brooks - Roebuck, SC
The finite mind of man is now, and has always been, “fruitless” and “futile” in his attempt to identify true God; and as a consequence, we have not had and do not now have the ability, on our own, to initiate communication with Him or worship Him!
We have a limited “human mind” that can perceive nothing beyond our “finite” material world! True God, on the other hand, has “infinite” capacity. Mankind, on his own, cannot identify true God nor communicate with Him nor comprehend Him!
We humans have passed our initial limited, finite mind from generation to succeeding generation, without enhancement, from the beginning of our material creation; and, since time immemorial our finite spirit has foolishly identified, worshipped and died for hundreds, perhaps thousands, of “imaginary” false gods. Our human “spirit,” in its finite “wisdom”, deified the sun, the moon, stars, birds, serpents, animals, invisible spirits, man like super-humans; and, man-beasts, even men!

A Biblical Perspective on Aliens on Other Planets
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
The notion of aliens on other planets is a very popular part of science fiction. The notion has become part of popular culture with many science fiction movies and books based on the concept. This particular discussion is primarily about intelligent aliens, not bacteria or even animal life as they are a different discussion. Two things we have to realize are that to date there is no evidence for such beings and that it is not a Biblical concept.
The first thing that needs to be noted about the idea of feeling some other planets is that not only is it an entirely evolutionary idea, but it is also founded purely on atheistic naturalistic materialistic thinking. The reason for this is that the idea is that if we came about by pure chance surely given the billions of stars in the universe and billions of more planets that there must be some of those must be inhabitable, you're also inhabited. Consequently, the idea that alien life exists is primarily founded on an atheistic worldview.
