@RepMikeKennedy They are united with Christians in most ways in politics and practice of the faith, but not in orthodoxy.

We love you (will your best), but do not stand with you in your understanding of the fundamentals of the faith.

Here’s a resource that explains fundamental differences:

[Jalapeño 🌶️ 🇺🇸 @beready4rapture]

@farmingandJesus @staleyexpress Same with Jehovah’s Witness members.

There is A LOT of bad doctrines that get the fundamentals of the faith correct (or at least began that way)…

But Mormons and JW’s began and continue in this camp: heretical

Great book to understand why:

[Matthew Thomason @Matthew56193629]

God created an angel, the highest of all angels, a covering cherub, and put him in to lead the worship of the Assembly of Angels.

In his pride, he wanted to be worshiped as God.

And his coup failed, he was booted out of his first estate, and roams the world today looking for people dumb enough to believe Mohammad and Joe Smith are prophets of God to destroy.

I am never happy criticizing Islam.

With every post I make, every article I publish, every interview I give, I wrestle within myself. This world is cruel, and it needs more kindness, and it saddens me that I can't contribute more of it.

If Islam were confined to a certain geography, I wouldn’t concern myself with it. If Islam were reformable, if it were possible for an open, high-trust society to survive it, I wouldn’t risk my life or waste my energy discussing this backward, dark ideology.

But the problem is that Islam is none of these things.

Islam is an expansionist ideology that, wherever it exists, erases individual liberties. And with that, it destroys creativity and prosperity.

What we have witnessed in the West since October 7 has been the rebranding of Islam using the lexicon of the left.

It is a moral obligation to stand against its expansion, to educate decision-makers about the threat it poses to the West, and to ensure that the Church, which plays a decisive role in shaping U.S. political direction, is equipped with the right tools and not deceived by false narratives.

Committing to moral obligations is a discipline that brings no earthly pleasure. I find no pleasure in combating Islam.

However, I can't live with myself if I choose to live a quiet, normal life while knowing that I might be able to make a difference, even if I am not very optimistic about the future.

Christians in Lebanon, along with a few non-Sunni Sunni Lebanese and some non-Shia Shia Lebanese, think that the moment Hezbollah is finished, they can just drive to Tel Aviv to party.

Sadly, they are delusional.

Hezbollah is not the only problem. As a matter of fact, peace between Palestine and Israel is more possible than peace between Lebanon and Israel.

Jew-hatred is an exclusively Sunni tradition, and the Islamic countries that signed peace treaties with Israel did so because a strong dictator was holding the pen and his people couldn’t say no.

In Lebanon, that condition doesn’t exist. The infidel Christian president can’t do it; the weak Sunni prime minister can’t do it.

The reason the Sunnis in Lebanon are silent now is that the Shia are being crushed, and they don’t want to sabotage it by standing against the government. It’s a timing problem.

The caliphate in Syria will have control over the Sunnis of Lebanon, but obedience to the caliph, al-Julani, will extend only to what pleases Allah, and peace with Israel does not.

Even if Hezbollah is finished today, and the Lebanese government signs a peace treaty with Israel, it will be short-lived.

Christians should pursue a sovereign state in Lebanon. That is the only possible path to lasting peace.

I wouldn't think there are any anti-trinitarians in heaven, nor will God be wrong in declaring that there will never be any like him:

“Remember this, and show yourselves men;
Recall to mind, O you transgressors.
Remember the former things of old,
For I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like Me,
Declaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things that are not yet done,
Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand,
And I will do all My pleasure,’
Isaiah 46

"Tribulation" is a translated term containing great ambiguity.

The United Kingdom is finished.

It has been over for them for decades — and the turning point came when they betrayed Israel and abandoned the British Mandate. They forsook the apple of God’s eye, and the curses have followed.

Genesis 12:3 — “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee...” (AV1611)

Britain is now a godless nation that has opened its gates to the devil of Islam and bowed before the false god Allah. Judgment is upon them.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom — and they have none.

Repent, or perish.

Maranatha.

If Jerusalem No Longer Matters, Why Is Jesus Coming Back There?

If the Church is now Israel, if the Kingdom is only spiritual, and if God's promises to Jerusalem have already been fulfilled, then a simple question remains:

Why is Jesus returning to Jerusalem?

Not Rome.

Not Athens.

Not Geneva.

Not Washington.

Jerusalem.

The answer reaches back thousands of years into the covenants and promises of God.

The story of Jerusalem did not begin with the Second Coming. It began with covenants.

God promised Abraham a land:

"I will give to you and your descendants after you... all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession."
— Genesis 17:8
He promised David a throne:

"Your house and your kingdom shall be established forever before you. Your throne shall be established forever."
— 2 Samuel 7:16

And He promised Israel a future restoration:
"I will take you from among the nations... and bring you into your own land."
— Ezekiel 36:24

The return of Jesus is not the cancellation of these promises.

It is their fulfillment.

Centuries after David, the angel Gabriel announced that Jesus would fulfill the Davidic Covenant:

"The Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David."
— Luke 1:32

Gabriel did not say the throne would be spiritualized.

He did not say the promise would be transferred.

He did not say the covenant would be redefined.

He said Jesus would receive David's throne.
David's throne was in Jerusalem.

The prophets never moved it.

The apostles never moved it.

And God never revoked it.

The Bible repeatedly presents Jerusalem as the focal point of the final conflict of history.

"I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle."
— Zechariah 14:2

Jerusalem becomes the center of international hostility and spiritual warfare.

Why?

Because Jerusalem is the city God chose.

Because Jerusalem is the city of the King.

Because Jerusalem is the city from which Messiah will reign.

Satan's hatred for Jerusalem is ultimately a hatred for God's covenant purposes.

As Zechariah declares:

"I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples."
— Zechariah 12:3

The city that burdens the nations today is the city that will one day govern them.

Yet the story does not end with Jerusalem's defeat.

It ends with Jerusalem's deliverance.

"The LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with You."
— Zechariah 14:5

Zechariah then gives one of the most astonishingly specific prophecies in Scripture:

"His feet will stand in that day on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem on the east."
— Zechariah 14:4

This is not vague symbolism.

This is geography.

The same mountain from which Jesus ascended is the mountain to which He returns.

The angels told the disciples:

"This same Jesus... will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven."
— Acts 1:11

The ascension was literal.
The return will be literal.

Ezekiel adds another remarkable detail:

"This is the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell among the children of Israel forever."
— Ezekiel 43:7

God's throne.

God's feet.

Israel.

Jerusalem.

The prophets consistently point to the same destination.

The prophets also describe Jerusalem as the capital of the Messianic Kingdom.

"Out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem."
— Isaiah 2:3

"For out of Zion the law shall go forth, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem."
— Micah 4:2

The nations will come to Jerusalem to learn the ways of the King.

This is not a picture of the nations disappearing into heaven.

It is a picture of the King ruling the earth.

Some argue these promises were fulfilled spiritually in the Church.

Yet the same prophets who predicted Messiah would be born in Bethlehem:

"But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah..."
— Micah 5:2

also predicted He would reign from Jerusalem.

If Bethlehem was literal, why should Jerusalem suddenly become symbolic?

Arnold Fruchtenbaum wisely observed:

"If the words Jerusalem, Zion, Israel, and Jacob do not mean what they normally mean, then language itself becomes meaningless."

That is precisely the issue.

When the prophets spoke of Jerusalem, they meant Jerusalem.

When they spoke of David's throne, they meant David's throne.
When they spoke of Israel, they meant Israel.

And when they spoke of Messiah reigning from Zion, they meant Zion.

The world calls Jerusalem a problem.

God calls it His chosen city.

The nations seek to divide it.

Jesus is coming to rule from it.

"The LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling place: 'This is My resting place forever.'"
— Psalm 132:13–14

The King is coming back to the city that rejected Him.

But He will not return merely as a suffering servant.
He will return as the Son of David, King of kings, and Lord of lords.

And Jerusalem will finally say:

"Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!"
— Matthew 23:39

#FlashbackFriday America stands uniquely apart from other nations. What makes us distinct is the foundational belief, enshrined in our founding documents, that our rights do not come from leaders or government — they come from God Himself.

This was no accidental phrase. It was a deliberate and courageous statement: no earthly power grants your freedom, and therefore no earthly power can take it away.

@SecRubio articulated this beautifully in a recent interview we conducted at the State Department for my podcast. It was one of the most compelling conversations I've had on the subject — and I think you'll find it both enlightening and encouraging.

[✝️Pray Without Ceasing✝️ @Elohim_Gadol]

Israel has been restored. Jerusalem has been restored. The dispersion of the Jewish people among the nations has been reversed in remarkable fashion before the eyes of the world.

The prophetic stage continues to be set exactly as the Scriptures foretold. What remains is the fulfillment of those events yet future, including the temple spoken of in prophecy.

Yet despite the visible restoration of Israel and the unmistakable movement of prophetic history, some still insist that God has replaced Israel altogether. Such a position requires ignoring not only the promises of the prophets, but also the reality unfolding before our very eyes.

God has not forgotten His covenant people. The same God who scattered Israel has begun gathering her, and He will fulfill every promise He has spoken.
