Civilizations do not collapse because their enemies are strong. They collapse because their foundations weaken. They collapse because their blacksmiths disappear—those individuals who shape conviction, truth, courage, and character.

I’m beginning to wonder if we’ll still be a nation by that anniversary. Rabbi Daniel Lapin has asked the same question. His study of history reveals that when large groups of people come together to build a society, their collective effort tends to last about 250 years.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus didn't whisper platitudes; He thundered truths that upended tables and challenged empires. "You are the salt of the earth," He declared, "but if salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? Yet today, far too many Christians embody flavorless salt, opting for a cushy complacency that mistakes silence for grace and avoidance for love.

The world is once again watching the Middle East with a mixture of confusion, frustration, and false hope. A cease-fire was announced. Negotiations were publicized. Headlines declared “progress.” But behind the diplomatic language and the endless press releases lies a simple, sobering truth: Hamas never intended to honor the Trump plan—because Hamas’ survival depends on deception.

So what do we have right now? A government that's reopened until January 30. A stimulus proposal that might happen. And a market that's stuck in consolidation, waiting for the next real catalyst.

They descend from their ivory towers—coastal estates, private jets, and Botox-fueled fundraisers—to lecture the working class on humility, all while their Federal Election Commission filings read like a Neiman Marcus catalog.

The Book of Enoch is one of the most fascinating and controversial writings in ancient Jewish tradition. It isn’t dismissed because it’s false—but because it’s frighteningly vivid, unapologetically supernatural, and uncomfortably revealing. Written sometime between 300 and 100 BC, it claims to record the visions of Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah.

As we stand on the precipice of history, a seismic shift looms on the horizon—one that those of us who hold fast to God’s Word must recognize for what it truly is. On December 27, 2025, according to reports rooted in credible regulatory discussion, every internet search made by any person will require digital-ID verification before it can be completed. Search-engine providers that fail to verify identity could face fines of up to $50 million per breach. This isn’t simply a technological update—it is a prophetic alarm, a visible marker of world-shifting governance, and an unmistakable sign of the End Times.
