How are Liberation Day And Israel Connected to ‘Aḥărîṯ?

Last updated on: April 3, 2025 at 7:29 pm By Martin Thomas Johnson

The big news this week has been President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs he began to directly begin a trade war with countries around the world, including our closest allies. The tariffs and their consequences will directly and indirectly hurt Americans. As I write the Dow Jones has already plummeted nearly 4%, and futures markets like the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ began falling within hours after the president’s final announcement on his tariffs. Not only does this trade affect Americans,... Read more

How Does A Nāḇî’ Connect Earthquakes & March Madness?

Last updated on: March 30, 2025 at 6:24 pm By Martin Thomas Johnson

eThe big and tragic news late this week has been about the major earthquake that struck Myanmar and Thailand. The destruction in these two cities has already claimed over 1600 lives, and that number is expected to grow. So far this year, there have been over 130,000 earthquakes, and the number will rise in the coming months. We should not be surprised by these natural disasters; Jesus and the prophets warned us about earthquakes as signs of the last days... Read more

How Does Nāḇā’ Connect Signal & Israel?

Last updated on: March 28, 2025 at 8:51 am By Martin Thomas Johnson

The big news this week has been the misuse of the Signal app for military information communication. Typically, military plans are only discussed on secured military channels or secure government networks. More sensitive information, like strategic plans, is usually discussed in person at the White House or the Pentagon. Face-to-face communication is more reliable and reduces the chance of misunderstandings or unclear information. Needless to say, there has been push back from both sides of the political aisle for the... Read more

How Does Baṯ Qōl Connect Lent & Paula White?

Last updated on: March 24, 2025 at 9:30 am By Martin Thomas Johnson

The big news this weekend is how Pope Francis was finally released from the hospital after more than a month of being taken care of. Unfortunately, we are halfway through Lent’s season. Earlier this year the Pope announced the theme of Lent for this year as a time for coming together. The theme is confusing for me because Lent is a time of drawing near to God and focusing on His will and voice. That itself is particularly hard this... Read more

How Does Qôl Connect Israel & Iran?

Last updated on: March 19, 2025 at 7:20 pm By Martin Thomas Johnson

Earlier this week the world was stunned by Israel breaking its cease-fire with Hamas and attacking the Gaza Strip once again. The Bible has specific teachings about war and when it is appropriate for God’s people (Deuteronomy 20:4, 2 Chronicles 20:15, Psalm 68:30, Ecclesiastes 3:8.) However, God’s people aren’t meant to be the oppressors or fight the way the world does (Psalm 20:7.) Instead of trusting in God, Prime Minister Netanyahu and Israel are following the ways of the world... Read more

How Does Ha’Av Connect The DOJ & Tornadoes?

Late this week, the big news was that President Trump was visiting the Department of Justice building. For decades there has been a standing policy where presidents did not visit the DOJ to keep from blurring the line between the White House and the Justice Department. The Department of Justice‘s role in government is to uphold the rule of law in America; presidents are not in control of the department. While visiting, Pres. Trump gave a speech suggesting that those... Read more

Other than those purposes, I have no use for X. The rise of social media platforms over the past two decades has been both controversial and beneficial.

What Does Ma`tsar Mean For DST & SpaceX?

Last updated on: March 8, 2025 at 8:22 pm By Martin Thomas Johnson

This weekend many people are getting upset that DST (daylight saving time) begins. I have never understood why people get so upset about changing the time on the clocks twice a year. We have done this for almost a century and mature adults should know how to adjust their days accordingly. The practice officially began in the United States in 1942 to help conserve fuel by reducing the need for artificial light. It sounds like something Elon Musk and DODGE... Read more
