DISPATCHES

They probably know more....but they are not saying....why the FlyDubai co-pilot attempted the hijacking. Was he trying to crash the aircraft....or would he have tried to go someplace specific? I apparently will not let go of this thought on this verse from God's Word....Jesus speaking from the Olivet Discourse...."Truly I say to you....there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down." (Matthew 24:2) Most think that that prophecy had already been fulfilled....in 70 AD....when the temple was destroyed. I have to wonder if the Wailing Wall....which was part of the temple mount....was not part of that prophecy? If so....those stones are still standing? If nothing else....it might be good to know that the stones of that Western Wall....because they are so sacred to Jews....could someday be the target for some kind of terrorism?

A third aircraft carrier is being sent to the Middle East....with about 10,000 marines on board. My concern is not that the United States may have to attack Iran again. I am still wondering how at one moment at the end of this past March....the Iran leadership was barely surviving the attacks....and then....on or around Passover....April 1....everything changed.....and the Iranian leadership was given new life? Anyway....what does concern me is the possibility that the war might be renewed at this time....for political electoral reasons.

Bitcoin people were excited when Trump came out big for crypto....and the CEOs here are still happy....but Trump came out with his own coin....and hyped it big time....making 3/4 of a billion on it.....but he himself had nothing invested in it. The coin sold to....from what  I read....almost 800,00 meme coin accounts....and then the value dropped 97%....to almost nothing....and now all these people are pretty mad. Meanwhile Trump made his money on it....and that is all that is important to him.

Evangelicals were so excited when Mike Johnson became the Speaker of the House. I also thought that it might be a good thing....but today....all you should have to do is look into his confused eyes....and listen to his defense of Trump....and see a man totally led by the nose. His most recent submissive act was to call concern for AI....a "Chinese psyop." 

We visited Regent University today....formerly CBN University....the 700 Club. It bought back wonderful memories of forty years ago when we vacationed there a couple of times....with a 700 Club pin on my ball cap....at the Founders Inn. God used Pat Robertson in a extraordinary way. None of these men were perfect folks....not MacArthur....Not Sproul....not Billy Graham....not even Spurgeon or Martyn Lloyd-Jones. Another thing they have in common is that they are all gone....gone to be with their Lord and Savior. Right now God has essentially left us shepherdless....temporarily blinded.....because for a long time now we wanted to do it our way....which led to not only Christian nationalism....but Christian nationalism with a genuine biblical false  prophet as its head!

If it wasn't so real....and so important....I would likely read the headlines....and just laugh at the absurdity. Trump shouts China's criminal actions from the White House rooftops.....and then he honors their leader in a state visit? Communism matters in this midterm race with talking points....and with Cuba....but not today with the Chinese leader?  This man....the man who became a legend by calling everything fake....is the biggest fake of all! Yes there are political and practical reasons in dealing with any foreign leader....but that is not what we witness with Donald Trump. The truth is....Donald Trump has never had an ideological belief in his entire life. 

The project coordinator....(former project coordinator.....as he resigned)....of the new ballroom....told Trump that there were problems with what he wanted....as some things were not according to building codes....number of exits and fire protection for example. Trump didn't want to hear that....and told the project coordination...."I am the code!"


Arthur's....Shepherd's Conference....back in March of this year. He raised some eyebrows of the 5,000 plus men in attendance when he somberly but matter-of-factly said...."John MacArthur is dead." He then paused and repeated that statement...."John MacArthur is dead." You might just be eternally blessed if you listen to that message. Just Google....2026 Shepherd's Conference Session 10, Paul Washer. On second thought....I'll add it here for you...
