Did Israel's Pre-emptive Strike Delay Major War Coming to Middle East?
|
|
One day in the not too distant future, someone in the Middle East is going to push things too far, and it will set off a tsunami of destruction that will shock the entire planet. Israel is armed to the teeth, and Israel's enemies are armed to the teeth. An all-out war in the Middle East should not be an option for anyone, but we are now dangerously close to such a conflict.
Very early on Sunday morning, Hezbollah was preparing to fire an enormous number of rockets at targets deep inside Israel in response to the assassination of Fouad Shukur in Beirut last month. The Israelis figured out what was going on, and a massive pre-emptive strike against Hezbollah hit rocket launchers all over southern Lebanon. According to the Times of Israel, thousands of targets were struck during this operation...
Israeli fighter jets simultaneously struck thousands of Hezbollah targets across southern Lebanon early Sunday morning, in what the military said was a preemptive operation against weaponry that was about to be used in a major attack on central and northern Israel. Thousands of Hezbollah rocket launchers were struck simultaneously by some 100 IAF fighter jets in the preemptive attacks, the military said.
This was only possible because the IDF has had large numbers of aircraft in the air on a constant basis in recent weeks.If these aircraft had not been on alert, things could have turned out very differently.
Could you imagine the scenario we would be facing right now if thousands of rockets had successfully reached major Israeli cities? (Prophecy News Watch) Read more here.

- Abba, we give You high praise for blessing the IDF with great victory in the destruction of many Hezbollah rocket launchers and rockets! We thank You for the element of surprise making this strike so successful. We ask You to send out warrior angels to protect Israel from any retaliation by Hezbollah or any of their supporters. We decree and declare that You are God and nothing is too hard for You. Father God, we ask for Your hand to move over Hamas, Hezbollah and all others who would come against Your people, bring the truth to their minds and hearts of Your intentions to guard and protect Your land, that they are coming against the only true God. We ask this in the name Jehovah Jireh, The Lord Will Provide.
- " But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
let them ever sign for joy. Spread
your protection over them, that those who
love your name may rejoice in you."
(Psalm 5:11)

Hamas Leader Calls for Suicide Attacks in Judea and Samaria
|
|
We want to return to martyrdom operations,” Khaled Mashaal, who represents the Gaza terror group abroad, told a conference in Istanbul.
Hamas leader abroad Khaled Mashaal on Wednesday called for a return to suicide terror attacks against Israelis in Judea and Samaria.
During a video address to a conference in Istanbul, Turkey, Mashaal said, “Resistance operations in the West Bank are escalating despite the harsh conditions,” according to CNN Arabic.
“We want to return to martyrdom operations. This is a situation that can only be addressed by open conflict. They are fighting us with open conflict, and we are confronting them with open conflict,” he continued.
“The enemy has opened the conflict on all fronts, seeking us all, whether we fight or not. The enemy says, ‘I am crazy,’ and it is up to the nation to assume its responsibilities. I reiterate my call for everyone to participate on multiple fronts in the actual resistance against the Zionist entity.”
The “military wings” of the Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist groups took responsibility for a failed suicide bombing attack in south Tel Aviv
|

- Abba, the enemy has so influenced and deluded Muslims that they believe martyrdom is holy. We know that You love all of your children and that killing themselves is NOT holy in Your sight. Father God, we ask You to do only what You can do, bring revelation and understanding to minds and hearts that Your love does not align with death. Holy Spirit, pour out the Father's love into each Muslim's heart that does not know You, give them supernatural "knowingness" that what they are experiencing is Your love for them. Open their minds to the truth that You died for THEM because that is how much You love each of them. We ask this in the name Jehovah Rapha, The Lord Who Heals, soul and body.
- "He sent out his word and healed them;
he rescued them from the grave." (Psalm 107:20)

Parents Face New School Year of LGBTQ Indoctrination for Their Kids
|
|
Colorado's new LGBTQ social studies standards, which include first grade lessons on LGBTQ history, transgenderism, and the rainbow flag, is age-inappropriate and pushes a radical agenda, some parents in the state complain.
"I don't want my first grader learning anything about LGBTQ issues at all in school," a Colorado father of a first grader who asked to remain anonymous told The Daily Signal. "If there was no agenda, then it wouldn't be taught. For the schools or the district to have an agenda is the same to me as indoctrination."
The Colorado State Board of Education approved the new social studies standards in November 2022 to take effect in fall 2024. The standards incorporate the "historical and civic contributions of LGBTQ+" in first through 12th grade history and civics curriculum.
In first grade civics, the education department recommends children read "Sylvia and Marsha Start a Revolution," the story of two black transgender "women" who "helped kickstart the Stonewall Riots" and "dedicated their lives to fighting for LGBTQ+ equality," according to the description of it on Amazon.Other in-class reading includes "The Story of Pete Buttigieg - Mayor Pete," a children's biography of the first openly gay presidential candidate, now the federal secretary of transportation, and an article about the current governor of Colorado, Jared Polis, who is gay.
"Indoctrination to me means that the schools feel there is a necessity to override parenting, given there's inherently going to be some inconsistencies with many families' parenting and instruction to their children, and any school's social agenda of this sort," the first grader's dad said.
Colorado state Rep. Brandi Bradley opposes the standards because they teach children a "false narrative" and lead them down a path "to lifelong sterility and mutilation," she said, referencing transgenderism. (Prophecy News Watch) Read more here.

- Abba, the enemy has brought lies into our public school system through the LBGTQ+ agenda. We thank You that You see, know, and understand the concerns and fears of all parents being faced with this evil, having no option but to send their children to neighborhood schools. Father God, we stand with these parents in saying, "NO" to this demonic force. We plead the blood of Jesus over every child as they enter their classroom, we decree and declare that all ideas, concepts, and intentions of the enemy are covered with the blood and disarmed, they will not be allowed to take root in any childs mind or heart. We thank You, Jesus, that You died to give us the ability to fight the enemy and always win as we stand in faith, believeing Your promises.
- "Then they believed his promises
and sang his praise." (Psalm 106:12)

1. Israel Blasts UN Chief for Demanding Stop to West Bank Operation Amid Threat of Return to Suicide Bombings - Algemeiner
Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon took a swipe at UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for demanding an end to the Jewish state’s counterterrorism operations in the West Bank at a time when Palestinian leaders have called for a return to suicide bombings against Israel.
Danon on Thursday morning defended the West Bank operations, saying intervention by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is necessary to thwart potential terrorist attacks.
“Since Oct. 7, Iran has been working vigorously to introduce into Judea and Samaria [the West Bank] sophisticated explosive devices that are intended to explode in the centers of cities in Israel,” Danon posted on X/Twitter, referring to the aftermath of the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre across southern Israel. Iran is the chief international sponsor of Hamas, providing the terrorist group with weapons, funding, and training. (Read more)

3. IDF says it struck gunmen who hijacked aid convoy in southern Gaza - Times of Israel
The IDF says it carried out a strike against a group of gunmen who hijacked an aid convoy in the southern Gaza Strip earlier today.
According to the military, a convoy of aid trucks from the American Near East Refugee Aid (Anera) organization entered the southern Rafah area with IDF coordination.
During the drive, “armed men took over a vehicle at the front of the convoy (a jeep) and began to lead it,” the military says. (Read more)

4. Hamas revealed to falsify public opinion polls from Palestinian Survey Research Institute - Jerusalem Post
The IDF uncovered documents revealing a systematic effort by the Hamas terror organization to falsify public opinion polls conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PSR), Israel's military said on Thursday evening.
The documents were uncovered from Hamas's General Security Apparatus and obtained during operations in the Gaza Strip. Images released included a comparison of the original and falsified PSR poll results from March 2024, illustrating the extent of the tampering.
"These falsified results are designed to portray a misleading image of broad public support for Hamas and its leadership, particularly in the aftermath of the October 7 massacre," the IDF explained. (Read more)

5. First Temple Period Stone Seal Discovered in Jerusalem – Was Used to Sign Royal Documents - Jewish Press
Archaeologists have unearthed a remarkable artifact near Jerusalem’s Temple Mount. During excavations at the Davidson Archaeological Garden, close to the Southern Wall, experts from the Israel Antiquities Authority and the City of David organization discovered an ancient stone seal. This rare find dates back to the First Temple period, approximately 2,700 years ago. The seal features two notable characteristics: an inscription in paleo-Hebrew script bearing a name, and an engraved winged figure. This discovery provides valuable insight into the artistic and cultural practices of the region during this historical period.
Dr. Yuval Baruch and Navot Rom, excavation directors on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority, described the seal as made of black stone, and noted that it is one of the most beautiful ever of its kind to be discovered in excavations of ancient Jerusalem, saying it was “executed at the highest artistic level.”
The ancient seal, crafted from black stone, features intricate details on both sides. Its mirror-writing engraving served a dual purpose: as a personal amulet and for official document authentication. The seal’s design includes convex cuts on each face and a lengthwise hole, allowing it to be worn as a necklace. (Read more)

1. Two-Thirds of Americans Now Believe the American Dream is Unattainable – The Economic Collapse blog
When we were young, most of us believed that we would achieve “the American Dream” someday. Today, two-thirds of us believe that the American Dream is unattainable. That is a searing indictment of a system that is coming apart at the seams right in front of our eyes. As a child, it seemed like just about everyone was part of the middle class. In those days, people just took for granted that you could have a nice home, a beautiful family, a couple of vehicles and a comfortable retirement. But now that kind of middle class lifestyle is out of reach for most of the country. In fact, a brand new Wall Street Journal/NORC poll discovered that only about one-third of the population thinks that the American Dream “is still alive” …
Only about a third of U.S. adults believe the American dream is still alive, a Wall Street Journal/NORC poll published Wednesday found. (Read more) |

- Father God, how we must look to You even more to supply our every need during these days of poor monetary policy over our nation! Lord, we look to You to encourage the hearts of Your people to seek first Your kingdom and lead others to do so also so. We pray that those who are in poverty may find a way out and economic mobility may be maintain in our country as has been in the past. Father, we ask You to bring new people to our financial systems who will have better ways to manage how business is done in our country. We praise You, Father, for Your provision in even dark times.

2. FaceBook’s Mark Zuckerberg: Covid Censorship Was Wrong and I Wish I Had Fought it – Yahoonews.com
Mark Zuckerberg has said Facebook and Instagram were wrong to censor posts about Covid during the pandemic and that the company should have fought pressure from the Biden administration.
In a letter to a US committee investigating online content moderation, Mr Zuckerberg said senior White House officials “repeatedly pressured” the company after Joe Biden was inaugurated in 2021.
He said that Facebook “made some choices” that it would not have made today.
In a letter to Jim Jordan, the Trump-supporting head of the House of Representatives’ Judiciary Committee, Mr Zuckerberg wrote: “In 2021, senior officials from the Biden administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain Covid-19 content, including humour and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree.
“Ultimately, it was our decision whether or not to take content down, and we own our decisions, including Covid-19-related changes we made to our enforcement in the wake of this pressure.
“I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it. I also think we made some choices that, with the benefit of hindsight and new information, we wouldn’t make today. (Read more) |

- Father in Heaven, we thank You that what we have suspected all along has been brought out into the open. We pray that leaders of this industry will have better insight into the motives of those making demands of them and be able to discern, and also have a heart to discern, how that will affect the freedoms of our country. We declare that our country will never fall into the hands of a powerful few who will rule in opposition to the design of our founding fathers. Amen.

3. TechTitans Are Coming Onboard the Trump Train-Discern Report
A shocking partisan switch is underway in the stratosphere of the tech titans: The industry known for its wokeness is betting big bucks on a Republican.
Last week former President Donald Trump gave a thumbs up to the notion of teaming up with billionaire innovator Elon Musk if he wins in November. Hours later, Musk posted a message on X: “I am willing to serve.”
Elon Musk for commerce secretary? Or perhaps for the newly created position of free speech czar?
Whether or not Musk actually joins a Trump administration – Trump himself said Sunday that the mogul is likely too busy to do so but could “consult” – his bold steps to back the Republican signal a turnaround. (Read more) |

- Dear Lord, we are grateful that these powerful businessmen are supporting a party candidate who is strongly for free speech and against an over-controlling government and high taxes. We pray that, guided by Your Spirit, they will find the proper niche in our government where they will be of the most service to our country without taking it off course. Lord, please give this party candidate divine wisdom in the selection of those who will run each part of our government for the coming years.

4. FISA: How a Watergate Era Reform Turned into a Mechanism of Massive State Surveillance – Discern Report
In 50 years since the Watergate scandal—famously resulting in President Richard Nixon’s
resignation—there has been a flood of “post-Watergate morality,” in which Congress pushed through a number of “reforms” designed to curb government abuses. The Nixon
Administration exerted great effort to conceal its organization of the break-in, as Nixon and
his aides authorized a plan instructing the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to interfere
with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Watergate investigation. Their actions were
an abuse of presidential power and a deliberate obstruction of justice.
A newspaper article published after Nixon’s resignation detailed the CIA Watergate cover-
up, sourced from the Watergate prosecutor’s office, the FBI, and CIA staff. The Watergate
investigation obstruction of justice began in the White House when it was revealed some of
the five Watergate burglars had a CIA background. “This gave the White House conspirators an idea. They might be able to use the CIA to cover up their own connection with the crime,” using CIA resources. (Read more)

- Almighty God, whatever is happening now in our country is right out of a third world country playbook. It is much worse than Watergate. The Biden administration is trying to jail a political opponent. This is America! This is wrong! They want to hold onto their power at any cost. We need you, Father, to intervene in our daily political process. Wrong is wrong and right is right! Expose all the darkness that surrounds this political mess. We need you more than ever before. Our political future and freedoms are under attack. Please blanket our politicians with your truth and oppose all that are trying to destroy a great nation. Please defend our people and our Constitution. In Jesus' mighty name we ask this prayer, amen and amen.

5. Anti-Zionism is Just Antisemitism Misspelled – Israel 365 News
It’s not about Israel, it’s about the Jews.
In a London cafe, Jewish theatergoers arriving to take in “Fiddler on the Roof” were accosted by bigots waving PLO flags. In Los Angeles, a Holocaust museum and a synagogue were attacked by masked mobs in keffiyehs who claimed to be protesting against Israel. In Brooklyn, a Hasidic Jewish man was stabbed by a thug shouting, “Free Palestine.”
The old arguments about the difference between antisemitism and anti-Zionism are in the same sort of ruin as the Jewish communities on the borders of Gaza and Lebanon after Oct. 7.
The entire intellectual infrastructure for arguing that there is some distinction between opposing Jews and opposing a country for the Jews was destroyed not by concerted debate or the universal adoption of the IHRA definition of antisemitism, but by the actions of the left.
Pro-Israel groups argued there was no difference between antisemitism and anti-Zionism. Anti-Israel groups proved them right. What would the anti-Israel movement have to do to Jews to have its actions be officially acknowledged as antisemitism? There seems to be no red line.
There is little that the Nazis did that the so-called anti-Zionist movement hasn’t done, from promoting the mass murder of Jews to drawing up lists of Jewish writers to purge to attacking houses of worship and calling for the elimination of Jews from public life. Ivy League bosses who had policed Halloween costumes argued that calls for another Holocaust were all about the context. (Read more) |

- Lord God, Why are people in our world against Israel and the Jewish people ? Your word says bless Israel and you will be blessed, curse Israel and you will be cursed. We as Americans choose to bless Israel. Israel has been our ally for many years. We intend on being a friend and an ally for years to come. We pray you defend Israel and the Jewish nation, and you crush those who oppose her. We ask you to continue to bless Israel and her people, we stand with you. We continue to stand with Israel forever. In Jesus' mighty name Amen and Amen.
- "I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." (Genesis 12:3)

6. As Auto Industry Recovers, Car Prices Out of Reach for Many – The Epoch Times
The price of new cars rose by more than 40 percent between January 2021 and May 2024. Used car prices increased by 52 percent.
For most Americans, affording a car is far more difficult now than it was before the COVID-19 pandemic, and it’s not getting much easier.
The U.S. automotive market is returning to normalcy after years of supply chain issues, depressed demand for new cars, and low vehicle inventories.
However, a new or used car is often too expensive for Americans who are already battling inflation that’s making financial decisions more difficult than they were a few years ago.
“Cars are not nearly as affordable today as they were five years ago,” Karl Brauer, an executive analyst at car search engine and price aggregation service iSeeCars.com, told The Epoch Times. (Read more) |

- Father God, The Auto Industry is out of control. Cars are not affordable to most Americans. We Americans need some relief in this area of our economy. Please help our economy correct itself to the abundant level of years past. Make car pricing more reasonable so more people can live the American Dream. We ask this in the precious name of our savior Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen and Amen.
- "Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said "I will never leave you nor forsake you". (Hebrews 13:5)

Common Sense and Idiocy
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, August 29, 2024
During the first week of Joe Biden’s presidency, he put a stop work order on the keystone pipeline that killed 11,400 jobs. The American Petroleum Institute said halting oil and gas drilling on federal lands will cost a million jobs. The Chamber of Commerce estimated the Paris Climate reentry will cost 6.5 million jobs. All in all, the new president may have put over 7.5 million Americans out of work in his first week. Plus, his actions raised fuel costs, which raises the cost of everything. Since then, we have seen record inflation that continues to this day. When asked why Kamala Harris hasn’t implemented her solutions to fix problems over the past 3 ½ years, her deputy campaign manager said the question is “comical.”
It’s not so funny for all of us who are suffering from the Biden-Harris Administration’s idiocy. Common sense says that if you kill fuel production, prices on everything will soar. Biden-Harris idiocy says that’s a good thing because it will force people to use electricity. In her acceptance speech, Harris said: As President, I will bring together: Labor and workers, Small business owners and entrepreneurs, And American companies. To create jobs. Grow our economy. And lower the cost of everyday needs. Like health care. Housing. And groceries.” In other words, she claims credit for the policies that created joblessness, housing costs, food price increases. Now she wants Americans to trust her to fix the problems. Read More

Harris camp hires activist reverend who claims Christianity has been 'hijacked' by White supremacy
|
|
|
|
In 2022, Butler said Christians are called to 'resist' and must 'reclaim our faith for justice
|
|
|
The Harris-Walz campaign has hired liberal activist the Rev. Jennifer Butler to be its new head of faith outreach, with Butler confirming the appointment on social media and in an interview with Religion News Service.
Butler is a longtime liberal activist who argued in 2022 that White supremacists have "hijacked" the Christian faith, and has said that faith calls us to "resist." She is the founder of the nonprofit Faith in Public Life, which claims to advance the "moral imperative for a just, inclusive and equitable country." She now runs a campaign seeking to root out White nationalism within the Christian faith.
"I bring a broad set of relationships that I think can help, very quickly, pull a broad coalition together," Butler told Religion News Service (RNS) on Wednesday. "I also recognize that we’re at a pivotal moment in American democracy where faith voices for justice are needed now more than ever… The Harris-Walz campaign is a really unique opportunity to shift the debate, to engage all of those who are concerned about what a Trump presidency would mean, the work of this campaign and what it can do to transform America."
Butler's official title will be national faith engagement director, according to RNS.
In 2022, Butler wrote an editorial posted to the website of a progressive, non-denominational Christian movement. "More Christians must step up," she wrote at the time. "We must do more than just watch the January 6th hearings aghast. We cannot allow our faith to continue to be hijacked by white supremacists covered in religious language. For the sake of our faith and our democracy, we must denounce Christian nationalism and reclaim a faith that values and affirms the human dignity of all people. Including our own."(Fox News) Read more here.

- Dear Lord Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer, please save us from a Harris-Walz win in November that would bring many into positions of governmental authority of the same ilk as “Rev.” Jennifer Butler, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, who will be in a position to lead even more astray from You—The Way, The Truth and The Life. We will not see any of the promised “unity” in our nation, but ongoing attacks and denigrations against police, white people, Bible-believing Christians and churches, and, worse than all, continued anti-Semitism. Harris refers to our Constitution as the ‘founders’ little piece of paper’; and, as many have noticed, she has little respect for truth. Jesus You came to bring freedom, not license. We are only as free as we believe Your word and choose to live in the power of the Holy Spirit, and we recognize that freedom demands that we fight the good fight!
Merciful God and Father, hear our prayers for help. Forgive Jennifer Butler, and renew her mind. Lord, deal with those “shepherds” who do not believe Your word is infallible, and support open borders/globalization, abortion, the LGBTQ’s agenda and approve of the butchering sex-change surgeries and hormone blockers for children. With the likes of Harris-Walz we can only imagine what other evil policies may be in the works for our nation. Again, Father, we plead for Your power and mercy to stop this evil, Marxist agenda from being implemented in any way. May the Ekklēsía stand up and be counted!
- "If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain." (I Timothy 6:3-5)
- "The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron." (I Timothy 4:1-2)

World War III on the horizon: Eastern allies issue warnings to the West
|
|
|
|
Pressure is mounting in the East as the People's Republic of China continues aggressively to engage with surrounding nations. Attempts by the U.S. to calm the situation have been met with several stern warnings of war.
U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan is in Beijing this week in an effort to stabilize relations between the U.S. and China. Sullivan met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, to discuss various issues, including Taiwan.
"President Biden has been very clear in his conversations with President Xi that he is committed to managing this important relationship responsibly," Sullivan said.
In a statement from the White House released Wednesday, it details Sullivan's meeting, and reiterated Sullivan's comments about the Biden administration being committed to maintaining channels of communication between the two nations.
"The two sides held candid, substantive, and constructive discussions on a range of bilateral, regional, and global issues. They discussed progress and next steps on implementation of the Woodside Summit commitments, including counternarcotics, military-to-military communications, and AI safety and risk," the White House said.
The U.S. is taking steps to prevent U.S. technologies from being used to undermine national security, and Sullivan raised concerns with Wang over China's unfair trade policies and practices, according to White House officials.
Sullivan further voiced concerns to Wang over China's growing aggression towards Taiwan and the maritime attacks on Philippine vessels in the South China Sea.
"Mr. Sullivan reaffirmed the United States' commitment to defending its Indo–Pacific allies and expressed concern about the PRC's destabilizing actions against lawful Philippine maritime operations in the South China Sea," the White House said. (WND) Read more here.

This is the interpretation [of your dream], O king, and this is the decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king: that you be driven away from mankind and your dwelling place be with the animals of the field, and you be given grass to eat like cattle and be drenched with the dew of heaven; and seven periods of time will pass over you, until you recognize that the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind and bestows it on whomever He wishes. … your kingdom will remain as yours after you recognize that it is Heaven that rules.

Scientists expect Star of Jacob to appear this month
|
|
|
What I see for them is not yet, What I behold will not be soon: A star rises from Yaakov, A scepter comes forth from Yisrael; It smashes the brow of Moab, The foundation of all children of Shet. Numbers 24:17
Scientists predict that a nova in the star system called T Coronae Borealis, or T CrB, will be visible to people on Earth in the next month. T CrB will appear 1,500 times brighter than usual, making it the 50th brightest star in the night sky. This nova may just be the Star of Jacob Balaam described as presaging the appearance of the Messiah.
A nova is the temporary brightening of a star before it fades again, not to be confused with a supernova that occurs when a massive star explodes at the end of its life.
T CrB is a binary star system made up of a red giant and a white dwarf. They orbit each other every 228 days at about half the distance between Earth and the Sun. In this case, the earth-size white dwarf is slowly stripping hydrogen away from the ancient red giant. Once enough hydrogen accumulates on the white dwarf, the growing pressure and heat trigger a thermonuclear blast visible from Earth.
As T CrB is 2,630 light-years from Earth, light from the binary system requires 2,630 years to arrive at Earth. The nova we will see occurred over 2,000 years ago, but its light will reach us next month. Read More

Ohio State Football Stars Preach the Gospel
to Thousands of Students, Leading to Many Baptisms:
'The Most Incredible Night'
|
|
Many of us can sense evil spreading across the world. Thus, we praise God when we discover His light in places we might otherwise never have thought to look. According to the sports-and-faith-focused Sports Spectrum, thousands of students gathered Sunday night on the campus of Ohio State University for worship, baptisms and testimonies from past and present OSU football players, prompting the mother of one former player to describe the event as “the most incredible night I have experienced in a longggg time!” Indeed, one could scarcely imagine a more stirring introduction to the college football season.
Earlier this month on the Instagram social media platform, former OSU wide receiver Kamryn Babb posted an incredible video inviting the entire campus community to “'Fall Kickoff: An Invitation to Jesus.' If you’ve ever sowed seed and prayed for a move of God on campus, we invite you to come be apart of reaping the harvest together as a body!” Babb wrote. The video itself featured baptisms, testimonies and direct invitations from a number of players. “He loves you, He’s calling you here,” one player said of Jesus. Alana Templeton, Babb’s mother, described the scene on Sunday. “The most incredible night I have experienced in a longggg time! God is moving on The Ohio State campus! So many came and were touched by God! So many were baptized! Watching over 2000 students worshipping…an Unbelievable experience! Our boys are changing lives!” the proud mama wrote on social media platform X. Read More and Watch Videos Here
