Physical Earthly Kingdom Ezekiel 37:21–28 “I will gather them from all around... and bring them back into their own land... My servant David will be king over them... and I will put my sanctuary among them forever.” Physical Earthly Throne Jer 3:16 "Then it shall come to pass, when you are multiplied and increased in the land in those days," says the LORD, "that they will say no more, 'The ark of the covenant of the LORD.' It shall not come to mind, nor shall they remember it, nor shall they visit it, nor shall it be made anymore. Jer 3:17 "At that time Jerusalem shall be called The Throne of the LORD, and all the nations shall be gathered to it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem. No more shall they follow the dictates of their evil hearts. Zec 14:9 And the LORD shall be King over all the earth. In that day it shall be "The LORD is one," And His name one. Physical Mortal Humans Isa 65:20 "No more shall an infant from there live but a few days, Nor an old man who has not fulfilled his days; For the child shall die one hundred years old, But the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed.

Jesus did not die and cease to exist. Jesus body died, but being God our creator, being eternal, Jesus did not die and cease to exist. You said, Jesus had to be so dead that only the most high God could put life back into Jesus. I agree, Jesus being our most high God, could put life back into his body John 10:17,18 17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. 18 no one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.” who lays down his life and takes it up again? Jesus who has authority to lay down his life and to raise it up again? Jesus -
by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent (Worthy News) – Over 12,000 participants, including Holocaust survivors, released Israeli hostages, bereaved families, and international delegates, marched Thursday from Auschwitz to Birkenau in the 2025 March of the Living. This year’s event—marking 80 years since the liberation of Nazi death camps—was uniquely infused with urgency, as calls to rescue hostages held by Hamas echoed the haunting memories of the Holocaust. Polish President Andrzej Duda and Israeli President Isaac Herzog led the procession. “We call it the Holocaust, but it was nothing less than a wild wish for destruction… to erase a nation,” Duda said. “It failed, thanks to the strength of life… to heroism by many members of the Jewish nation.” Herzog followed, pointing out that half of the Jews murdered in the Holocaust were Polish. “Poland stood with us on October 7,” Herzog said, referencing the Hamas massacre. “We need the same unity to stop the Iranian octopus of terror today.” Herzog’s remarks linked past genocide to present threats. “The world said ‘Never Again,’ yet dozens of Jews thirst for water and freedom in Gaza,” he declared. “Returning the hostages is a universal human imperative. This is a crime against humanity.” Standing between the crematoriums where thousands were incinerated daily, Herzog and Duda shared a solemn exchange. “We will walk together… a dramatic call: Never again,” Duda said. Herzog read from the diary of Janusz Korczak, honoring the educator who perished with orphaned children. “Dozens of souls still thirst,” Herzog added, repeating his call for global unity to end the hostage crisis. Israel’s UN envoy, Danny Danon, emphasized the urgency of bearing witness. “I brought diplomats from Africa here today—but sadly, Western European leaders are harder to convince,” he said. “Everyone must understand what happened on October 7.” Danon insisted that the Holocaust’s lessons remain urgent and unfulfilled. Former hostage Eli Sharabi, visibly gaunt after enduring months in Hamas captivity, stood draped in the Israeli flag and delivered a powerful message of resilience. “The Holocaust was unlike anything else. But we, who were kidnapped, are proof of the triumph of the Jewish spirit,” he said. “I lost my wife and daughters on October 7. I chose life. And that gives me hope to start rebuilding each morning.” Sharabi emphasized the urgency of the moment, stating, “We have a country—and it is strong. But the hostages must come home, and the dead must be buried in Israel.” The post March of the Living 2025: From Auschwitz to Gaza, a Call for Remembrance and Rescue appeared first on Worthy Christian News.

By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News NOUAKCHOTT (Worthy News) – Representatives of Mauritania’s tiny but thriving Christian community have expressed concerns about renewed Islamic extremism in the northwest African nation after Muslim imams organized a protest against the presence of Christians in the southern city of Sélibaby. The April 7 rally, which was approved by local authorities, followed the death of a Christian convert in a motorcycle accident a few days earlier, Christians told Worthy News. Some Muslim leaders were reportedly angered over the burial of the Christian within their community as they regarded him as an “apostate” for abandoning Islam. During the protest, “threats were made against followers of Jesus both in person and on social media,” added advocacy group Voice Of the Martyrs Canada (VOMC), which closely followed the case. “Demonstrators demanded that action be taken against the community’s “infidels,” including calls to burn the homes of Christian residents. At one point, the body of the buried Christian was dug up and dragged through the streets before being reburied in a village 20 kilometers (12.5 miles) away.” Although a tense calm returned to the streets, “hate speech and threats persisted on social media,” Christians said, adding that “militant Muslim community members” continued to call for “the complete social ostracism of Christians.” Due to the volatility of the situation, “some Christian leaders have been warned by relatives to refrain from contacting them,” added VOMC. The incident comes amid a broader crackdown on devoted Christian believers in the country, which is officially 100 percent Muslim. However believers among the roughly 11,000 Christians living in the strict Islamic country continue to worship, with several risking the death penalty for leaving Islam, Worthy News learned. FACING EXECUTION Although the death penalty is “seldom enforced” in the country of 4.3 million people, “the law emboldens Muslim militants and creates an atmosphere of fear for those who are at risk of potential harm,” VOMC explained. Mauritania currently ranks 23 on the annual World Watch List of 50 countries where advocacy group Open Doors says Christians face the most persecution for their faith in Christ. The country “is staunchly Islamic, and Christian activities are severely restricted, making it difficult for Christians to express their faith. For those who convert from Islam, it’s almost impossible,” Open Doors noticed in a recent assessment. “Christianity is viewed as a negative Western influence, and Christian converts face severe hostility both from the authorities and from their families. Apostasy is legally punishable by death, although there are no known cases of this in recent years – but the threat remains. Converts risk expulsion from the family home and loss of livelihood; they may even be forced to leave the country. The presence of Islamist extremist groups also constitutes a threat to those who leave Islam. Baptisms can only be carried out secretly, but many converts are reluctant to do this, fearing the awful consequences of being discovered,” Open Doors noticed. It has added to social difficulties for Christians in the country, which remains poor despite an abundance of natural resources, including iron ore and petroleum. The country’s economy is based mainly on agriculture, livestock, and fishing. Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Ghazouani, a former army chief in power since 2019 and re-elected last year, has been credited with returning some stability to the troubled nation after decades of political unrest and frequent coups. However, he is under pressure to end the persecution of Christians as well as slavery, which is still a reality in the country despite being outlawed. Anti-slavery activists have faced torture and detention, according to well-informed sources, with thousands of Black Mauritanians reportedly being enslaved. About three percent of the country’s total population are living as slaves, according to the Global Slavery Index (GSI) in 2023.

by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent (Worthy News) – China’s PLA is advancing drone swarm warfare for strikes and surveillance, outpacing manned-unmanned integration, a U.S. Air Force report says. As tensions rise in the Taiwan Strait, Admiral Paparo warns China’s buildup is a “rehearsal” for invasion. In response, the U.S. plans a “hellscape” of drones, while Taiwan boosts its drone production and arms purchases. The People’s Liberation Army is advancing its use of drone swarms for both precision strikes and battlefield intelligence, according to a report from a U.S. Air Force think tank. China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is rapidly advancing in drone swarm warfare, outpacing its development of manned-unmanned teaming (MUM-T), according to recent defense assessments. Swarm tactics—leveraging large numbers of coordinated UAVs—are more mature and closer to real-world deployment, especially for reconnaissance and precision strikes. The PLA has already tested swarm operations in military exercises, drawing on lessons from global conflicts in Ukraine, Syria, and Israel. Analysts highlight the tactical advantages of using a swarm, including stealth, speed, and overwhelming force. Meanwhile, MUM-T—a concept integrating drones with manned aircraft, ships, and ground systems—remains largely experimental. Although China’s defense industry has produced several AI-enhanced prototypes, few have entered service. The “loyal wingman” drone concept, for example, is still in the prototype phase according to the report. A key concept highlighted in the report is the “mothership” model, used in both swarm and MUM-T strategies, where larger manned or unmanned platforms act as launch hubs for smaller drones, significantly extending operational range and flexibility. Despite its potential for low-intensity missions like border patrol or psychological operations, MUM-T is still in early testing. Most current applications are limited to non-lethal functions such as surveillance and targeting, with full combat autonomy still facing internal resistance. While the PLA is beginning to incorporate drones into existing force structures, how these technologies will be integrated into broader joint or multi-domain operations remains unclear. For now, swarm capabilities are leading the way in China’s evolving drone warfare strategy. Admiral Samuel Paparo, head of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, told the Senate Armed Services Committee last week that China’s intensified military activity near Taiwan appears to be a “rehearsal” for invasion, warning that “military pressure against Taiwan [has] increased by 300 percent” in 2024 alone. “China’s increasingly aggressive actions near Taiwan are not just exercises, they are rehearsals,” Paparo testified, citing “unprecedented aggression and military modernization.” Earlier this month, China conducted large-scale drills around Taiwan involving naval, air, ground, and rocket forces, including an aircraft carrier group. The PLA’s Eastern Theater Command said the exercises were a “severe warning and forceful containment against Taiwan independence.” Paparo revealed a defense strategy to deploy “thousands” of low-cost aerial and underwater drones to delay a potential Chinese assault, calling it a “hellscape” strategy designed to buy time until U.S. forces can reinforce the region. In response, Taiwan is accelerating efforts to build self-sufficient drone supply chains and boost U.S. arms orders to counter China’s military advantage, a defense official told the Taipei Times. The official, speaking anonymously, said Taiwan’s forces share U.S. Admiral Samuel Paparo’s view that the island must be ready to turn its waters into a “hellscape” for China’s People’s Liberation Army.

How do you Call on the Name of the Lord?
Vine Abider replied to Vine Abider's topic in General Discussion
And that was very similar to my experience! When I was 18 I cried out in utter desperation, "Oh God! If you're real you have to make yourself real to me!" And boy did He ever - flooded me with His love and turned my life completely around! (He brought me up out of a horrible pit - out of the mirey clay . . . and put a new song in my mouth) FYI - I actually realized I had accepted the Lord Jesus at a much younger age and believe I was born-again at that point. But then I completely buried Him and forgot as a teenager, to the point that I seemed to essentially know nothing of God whatsoever. But He was still in me, working . . . -
Daily Meditations And Affirmations - April 24, 2025
Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry
Isaiah 43:18,19 - "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." God is resetting us in the present to create a new history under the guidance of God's Spirit. We can too easily drift away from God's purpose for our life and then stall. We have not been called to live in a static representation of Kingdom life. Just before each new season, God will reset our priorities to His original blueprint. He does this to get us moving once again, motivated by His original intent. After a reset, new opportunities will refocus our efforts. This refocusing will create simplicity, helping to highlight the things God has called each of us to do with regerds to laying down our self-life as we disciple other Believers into their Christ identity. It will require that we say no to some things currently on our plate and yes to things we had not considered before the refocusing took place. We are being reset to align our lives with a greater manifestation of God's Spirit as He invites us to partner with Him as world changers for the bringing forth of the Great Commission. You should praise when you have no feeling until you do have feeling. Then, continue praising so that a little feeling becomes much feeling. Victory does not lie in struggling with your flesh. It comes when you lower your head and praise the Lord, saying, "Lord, I praise Your way. What You have arranged for me can not be wrong. Whatever You do is perfect." Only then will your spirit rise above your problems, above your own inner feelings, and into victory. His hand is at your back and you feel His pushing you forward. All that is around you is to insure that you are not shifting. Do not partner with offense. He is enabling you to walk out a new level of wholeness and freedom in Christ.

How do you Call on the Name of the Lord?

Hi VA, A very relevant and important topic. I have called on the name of the Lord throughout my life. I believe it means that you call on the Lord with a sincere heart.

by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent (Worthy News) – General Michael Erik Kurilla, the commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), is set to arrive in Israel on Thursday afternoon for a brief yet strategically vital 36-hour visit. His trip marks another high-level meeting between American and Israeli defense leaders, taking place amid sensitive U.S.-Iran negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear program. Kurilla’s visit comes as both Washington and Jerusalem prepare for the very real possibility that diplomacy may fail—leaving military action as a viable and increasingly likely alternative. Kurilla’s presence in Israel reflects a serious focus on contingency operations, aimed at deterring Iranian aggression and readying joint capabilities should the need for a decisive response arise. Highly respected by Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and senior IDF leadership, General Kurilla is expected to hold a series of high-level consultations aimed at deepening U.S.-Israel operational coordination, refining joint response strategies, and enhancing readiness amid growing threats from Iran’s nuclear program and regional proxies. His visit not only highlights the strong and enduring military alliance between the United States and Israel, but also reaffirms America’s commitment to safeguarding its key ally in an increasingly unstable region. The backdrop of this visit includes unprecedented levels of American military aid, accelerated arms deliveries, and the expanding integration of Israel into CENTCOM’s strategic framework. The timing could not be more critical. With Iran continuing to enrich uranium well beyond civilian energy needs, and proxy threats on multiple fronts, the risk of a broader regional conflict looms large. Kurilla’s arrival serves as both a warning and a reassurance—-demonstrating that while diplomatic efforts continue, preparations for a forceful and coordinated military response are actively underway.

by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent (Worthy News) – The Trump administration on Thursday escalated its legal battle over the military’s transgender service ban by taking the case to the U.S. Supreme Court, seeking to lift a lower court’s injunction and allowing the policy to take effect while litigation continues. In a formal petition to the high court, Solicitor General Dean John Sauer argued that the nationwide injunction imposed by a federal district court in Washington state obstructs the constitutional authority of the executive branch, specifically the Department of Defense, to regulate military personnel based on health and readiness criteria. Sauer asked the justices to stay the injunction, allowing the Department of Defense to enforce the ban as the case proceeds through the judicial system. “The Department rationally determined that service by individuals with gender dysphoria would undermine military effectiveness and lethality — consistent with similar, longstanding determinations for a wide range of other medical conditions (such as asthma and hypertension),” Sauer wrote in the filing. The contested policy, initially issued by President Trump in February, prohibits individuals diagnosed with gender dysphoria or those who have undergone gender transition-related medical procedures from enlisting or serving in the U.S. military. According to the administration, the directive was informed by a panel of military experts convened during Trump’s first term, which concluded that allowing individuals with gender dysphoria to serve was incompatible with key military objectives. “The policy was based in part on the findings of a panel of experts convened during the first Trump Administration, which found that service by individuals with gender dysphoria was contrary to ‘military effectiveness and lethality,’” the filing stated. The White House noted that a lower court previously blocked a similar ban, but the Supreme Court later upheld it, and now seeks the same outcome. The current challenge, brought by seven transgender individuals, claims the policy violates the Equal Protection Clause, the First Amendment, and due process rights. A federal judge in Washington issued a broad injunction, halting enforcement. The challengers must respond by May 1 in United States of America v. Emily Shilling.

You are changing and limiting Gods Word by claiming the termination of Satan's deceiving of the world applies to only one specific purpose--Satan deceiving the nations to battle. As the Lord does not specify a specific solo purpose in Satan deceiving of the nations, while 2 Corinthians 11:14 indicates a total deception of the nations by Satan and his false luminaries; I will then stick to the multiple scriptures I have posted proving my perspectives. -
by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent (Worthy News) – Iran is surrounding two heavily buried tunnel complexes with a major security perimeter connected to one of its main nuclear facilities, according to a new report released Wednesday. The Institute for Science and International Security cited recent satellite images in its report as the U.S. and Iran prepare for a third round of talks this weekend concerning Iran’s nuclear ambitions. David Albright, president of the Institute for Science and International Security, said newly obtained satellite imagery reveals the construction of a large security perimeter around Mount Kolang Gaz La, located just south of Iran’s Natanz uranium enrichment complex. The development suggests that the tunnel complexes, which have been under construction for years, may soon become operational. According to Albright, the depth of these tunnel facilities far exceeds that of Iran’s Fordow enrichment site near the holy city of Qom, making them significantly harder to detect or destroy in a potential military strike. The institute’s report noted that the creation of a fortified perimeter around such deeply buried sites reflects Iran’s growing concern about possible attempts by individuals or groups to infiltrate the tunnel network undetected. Satellite images dated late March show extensive grading and leveling across the mountainous terrain, aimed at establishing a secure boundary that connects the existing Natanz complex to the new tunnel site at Mount Kolang Gaz La. The scale and scope of the construction indicate Iran is accelerating efforts to shield and secure key elements of its nuclear infrastructure. This week, U.S. and Iranian officials are scheduled to meet for a third round of negotiations focused on Iran’s advancing nuclear program—talks that come at a pivotal and highly sensitive moment. The diplomatic effort aims to de-escalate mounting tensions surrounding Tehran’s continued enrichment of uranium, which many fear is pushing the country dangerously close to weapons-grade capabilities. Iran has consistently denied any intention of developing nuclear weapons, insisting its program is for peaceful, civilian purposes such as energy production and medical research. However, nuclear experts and Western officials remain deeply skeptical, pointing to Iran’s enrichment levels as cause for serious concern. Civilian nuclear reactors typically require uranium enriched to only about 3–5%. Yet Iran has now begun enriching uranium to as high as 60% purity—just a short technical step away from the 90% threshold required for weapons-grade material. Experts warn that there is no legitimate civilian justification for such high-level enrichment, and that it significantly shortens the so-called “breakout time”—the amount of time Iran would need to produce a nuclear bomb if it decided to do so. This latest round of talks is viewed by many as a last-ditch effort to reestablish constraints on Iran’s nuclear program, which were initially set in place under the 2015 nuclear deal that the U.S. exited in 2018. With time running out and enrichment accelerating, the international community is watching closely to see whether diplomacy can deliver a breakthrough, or whether the failure to reach an agreement could set the stage for military confrontation. Both U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have made it clear that if diplomacy fails, military action remains a viable option. Trump has previously warned that unless a new agreement is reached to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions, the United States is prepared to act decisively. Netanyahu, echoing those sentiments, has long maintained that Israel will not allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons under any circumstances and is willing to take unilateral action if necessary. As the two allies closely monitor developments, this round of talks may represent one of the final opportunities to avoid a potential military confrontation with far-reaching consequences for the region and beyond.

I thoroughly agree with you re: Yeshua's Lordship. If we say He is our Lord and Savior, then we are acknowledging His Lordship in and over our lives. When someone declares Him as Savior, but denies that He is Lord of their life, they have likely been taught the heresy of antinomianism. And as far as I am concerned, antinomianism is just another word for condemned. Peace -
For me it was crying out in tears to the Father God I knew existed from my youth, Father of all creation, but with whom I did not yet have a serious personal relationship. I only knew His name or title 'Father God.'. Of course I knew the name 'Jesus', and believed He was the Son of God part of the Trinity, but I did not know Him as our mediator. Now I understand who our Triune God is and His many titles. Praise His holy name, Eh Yeh, YHVH, Yeshua.

Why do you think the faithless worlds masses will be in gross darkness in the future, if the god of the faithless-- Satan currently is able to keep the faithless falsely illumined? (Isaiah 60:2) Who do you think it is who is disguising himself as an angel of Gods true illumination (2 Corinthians 11:14), if he has no illumination from God to masquerade? Isaiah 60:2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. 2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. -

I think everyone here knows which of us posts complete passages and which of us takes fragments of verses out of context. We know there is no truth to your claim that the early church doubted the creation as described. We all know that the claim of universal common descent didn't exist before the 17th century. Further, we know that Biblical purists regard many of the teachings of Augustine as heresy because they didn't exist in the completed Scriptures. You add and subtract to fit your argument, and then pretend that verses which disprove your claim; like Exodus 20:11; do not exist. It IS God's way, despite your many claims to the contrary. God said "Let there be," and there was. -

The way the Lord saw not one stone atop another in Jerusalem at some point in the future, so too did the Lord see Satan fall like lightning (Luke 10:18), to come at some time in the future. This is the same angel (the fallen star) that John saw fall to the earth, who was given the key to the bottomless pit. Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Revelation 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. -

I happen to think that the simple English definition of the word believe is not enough to get a person saved. One can believe Jesus is who he says he is and not submit to his lordship. I have several Baptist brothers and sisters that use this to say believe is all it takes. If you use the will (and some translations say shall) there is nothing else you have to do. With the word should (literal translation is might not) and relates that there is more to it than just believing. It takes action on our part and that goes against works not saving a person, so they fight it tooth and toenail. I don't use Bibles that use the word will/shall, but in discussing it, for new people or seekers it makes them not trust the Bible at all. This whole thread is putting questions of Bible reliability in the minds of new Christians and seekers. But I guess it does need to be discussed. -
