THE GOOD NEWS CORNER
Bible Sales Are Skyrocketing: What’s Going On? 
God’s truth is reaching new eyes, with Bibles reportedly flying off shelves this year.  In fact, Bible sales are up 22% this year through the end of October when compared to last year’s sales during the same time period, making for “a golden age of Bible publishing,” according to The Wall Street Journal.  And here’s why this figure matters. U.S. book sales were up less than 1% during that same period, meaning the Bible’s growth in sales far outpaced what was happening more generally in the print literary space. The WSJ crunched the numbers and found Bible sales increased from 9.7 million in 2019 to 14.2 million in 2023. In the first 10 months of 2024, 13.7 million copies were sold, with still two months left to count. 

So, why the increase, you ask? It seems chaos and uncertainty in the world, among other factors, could be turning people back to the Lord. “People are experiencing anxiety themselves, or they’re worried for their children and grandchildren,” Jeff Crosby, president of the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association, told the WSJ. “It’s related to artificial intelligence, election cycles…and all of that feeds a desire for assurance that we’re going to be OK.” One bookstore manager told the outlet she’s seeing many first-time buyers come in looking for the Scriptures — people she said are on a quest for “hope.” (CBN) Read More Here

TODAY'S TOP STORY
 CIA Was Urging Taliban to Activate Sleeper Cells in US For Terror Attack to be Blamed on ISIS
The CIA has been working with its Taliban connections to use their sleeper cells within the U.S. to launch a terrorist attack that could be blamed on ISIS, according to journalist Lara Logan.

In the aftermath of the Bourbon Street massacre, in which an individual believed to be
linked to ISIS plowed through a crowd in a truck in NOLA that left 10 dead and 35 injured,
Logan suggested such an attack was not only anticipated, but may have been coordinated
by the CIA.

“I learned months ago from multiple US intel sources that the CIA was urging their ‘friends’
in the Taliban/Haqqani terror network to use their sleeper cells inside the US for an attack
that would be blamed on ISIS,” Logan wrote on X Wednesday.

“So I am very skeptical — it is too easy to blame ISIS. They do it over and over to hide the
fact that powerful people inside American intel agencies are in bed with this nation’s
enemies.”

Fox News reported the terror suspect had crossed the southern border into the U.S. just two days ago. […] (Discern Report) Read more
- Abba, Your people in the United States need Your help!  We ask You to shine Your light on any circumstances that would provide proof of what Lara Logan has said.  We ask that all communication between the CIA and any ISIS operatives be exposed with names, dates and content of texts, emails or conversations, in Jesus' name..  Father God, we ask You to move on the hearts of those who know the truth, lead them to come forward with whatever information they have.  We ask You to stop any treasonous actions immediately, in Jesus' name..  We, as Your intercessors, decree and declare that the door is shut on any plans of the enemy for further attacks, in Jesus' name.  We decree and declare that any enemy strongholds that have compromised the CIA be broken and pulled down, in Jesus' name.  We ask this in the name of Jehovah Sabaoth, The Host of Heaven's Armies.

              "In With the Old, Out With the New” --
10 Questions We Should All Be Asking About the New Year's Day Attacks 

Someone needs to call Jack Bauer, because it appears that we definitely could use him right about now.  Our “new” golden era of “peace and safety” has been very rudely interrupted by the “old” problem of Islamic terror.  Of course the truth is that it is a problem that never went away.  There were dozens of major terror attacks in 2024, but most of the population is not going to pay attention unless something happens within our own borders.  Sadly, everyone is paying attention now.

Very early on New Year’s Day, a 42-year-old nut named Shamsud-Din Jabbar rammed a truck into a large crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.  We are being told that 15 people are dead and dozens more are injured
 

So was this the end, or is this just the beginning?

The following are 10 questions that we should all be asking about the chaotic New Year’s Day terror attacks…

- Abba, again our country is crying out to You for help and protection.  The questions posed by Mr. Snyder open a Pandora's Box of information and circumstances that at this point in time, have no real answers!  Father God, You not only have the answers, You ARE the answer to all these questions.  We ask You to download information to Your intercessors that will give us what we need to stand against plans of the enemy to attack anywhere in our nation.  We ask You to cause Your light to shine into any and all dark places and reveal the identity of all those working against our sovereignty, those inside our government and those outside.  Holy Spirit, we ask You to dispatch Your warrior angels to fight this battle in the heavenlies, destroy all satanic plans and demonic beings.  Jesus, we give You all the honor and glory for doing what only You can do...bringing the victory!  We ask this in the name El Gibhor, Mighty God, the God who will accomplish the destruction of His enemies and rule with a rod of iron.

FOCUS ON ISRAEL

1. Palestinian Authority backs Israel’s claims Hamas using Gaza hospitals for terror operations - World Israel News

The Palestinian Authority has confirmed accusations by Israel’s military that the Hamas terror organization is using hospitals in the Gaza Strip as de facto command and control centers.
Throughout the current war against Hamas, which began on October 7th, 2023, Israel’s military has maintained that the Islamist terror group has taken control of medical centers in the coastal enclave, using them to shelter terror operatives and as local command facilities.
Last week, the Palestinian National Security Forces, the PA’s paramilitary police force, revealed evidence that Hamas used the Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis as an interrogation center for Hamas military intelligence.
In a Facebook post, PNSF spokesman Adnan Al-Damiri published a photograph of a summons, issued by Hamas, to a Gazan man ordered to report for interrogation at Nasser Hospital. (Read more)  

2. WATCH: After Lebanese army fails to act, strikes Hezbollah rocket launchers in Lebanon - Jerusalem Post

The Israeli air force struck medium-range rocket launchers belonging to the Hezbollah terror organization in Lebanon, the IDF stated on Thursday evening. The air force also reportedly struck additional rocket launchers next to a military site in the Nabatieh area of southern Lebanon.

The IAF strike was conducted under the direction of the Military Intelligence Directorate.

According to the military, before the strikes were conducted, Israel asked the Lebanese Armed Forces to address the issue, as per the current ceasefire agreement. The Lebanese army did not do so, the IDF noted.

"The IDF continues to act to remove any threat to the State of Israel in accordance with the ceasefire understandings," the military stated. (Read more)

3. Netanyahu hails Syria commando raid, one of the most important strikes against the Iranian axis - Times of Israel

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hails the recently acknowledged IDF commando operation deep in Syria in which 120 members of special forces units raided and destroyed an underground Iranian missile manufacturing plant.

“I salute the heroic fighters on the successful and daring mission deep in Syria,” Netanyahu posts on X.

“This is one of the most important actions to thwart the efforts of the Iranian axis to arm in order to harm us,” Netanyahu says.
The prime minister says the raid highlights Israel’s daring and “determination to act anywhere to defend ourselves.” (Read more)

5. Sa’ar calls for national plan to prepare for mass aliyah - JNS

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar called for an emergency meeting to prepare for an expected spike in immigration as antisemitism rises globally in the wake of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas massacre.

In a letter to Prime Minister Netanyahu on Wednesday evening, Sa’ar said that a wave of worldwide antisemitism has eroded Jews’ sense of security in the Diaspora and has already generated a greater demand for immigration to Israel.

“A broad national plan is required that will also include optimal absorption of the expected immigration,” he wrote. The top diplomat noted a rise in immigration from France and Britain was already evident. That phenomenon is expected to extend to other countries as well, Sa’ar said. (Read more)

1. Act of Pure Evil: Trump Rages Over New Orleans Attack, Blames Biden and Democrats for Opening Borders – Discern Report
 
President-elect Donald Trump issued a blistering statement Wednesday condemning the Biden administration and Democrat Party’s open border policies that have allowed thousands of unvetted foreign criminals into the U.S.
 
The statement came in response to the ISIS-linked suspect who drove a truck through a crowd in New Orleans’ downtown Bourbon Street early Wednesday morning, killing 10 and injuring dozens of others.
 
“When I said that the criminals coming in are far worse than the criminals we have in our country, that statement was constantly refuted by Democrats and the Fake News Media, but it turned out to be true,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
 
“The crime rate in our country is at a level that nobody has ever seen before. Our hearts are with all of the innocent victims and their loved ones, including the brave officers of the New Orleans Police Department.”
 
“The Trump Administration will fully support the City of New Orleans as they investigate and recover from this act of pure evil!” he added. (Read more)
- Father God, we agree with President Trump that the mass immigration of unchecked people has added to the increase of those who espouse ideologies that are foreign to our Judeo-Christian culture.  Father, we appeal to Your mercy to save and deliver us from this indwelling threat so that those who are harmful to us will either leave or be captured and given the appropriate sentences.  We speak out that those who are harmful to us, whether home grown and radicalized here or else a recent immigrant with pagan ideas of promoting their religion, will be brought to real justice.  Thank You, Lord that You have given us authority over the enemy among us.
 
- "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:  and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost parts of the earth."  (Acts 1:8)  
2. Former CIA Officer Warns: 1,000 Al-Qaeda Fighters in US For Next Homeland Attack – Discern Report
 
In a recent discussion on the Shawn Ryan Show, former CIA targeting officer Sarah Adams warned of a potentially devastating attack planned by Al-Qaeda terrorists on American soil.
 
The interview offers significant insights into what may be unfolding, as Al-Qaeda sleeper cells could be activating in the wake of the New Orleans terrorist attack and a possible vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) in the rear of a rented Tesla Cybertruck
 that exploded outside Trump’s hotel in Las Vegas just hours later.
 
Ryan asked Adams: “I just want to clarify. You are 100% certain that there are 1,000 plus Al-Qaeda-trained fighters within the US borders?”
 
Adams, currently a global threat advisor with extensive experience in Middle Eastern affairs, responded: Well, Al-Qaeda says they trained and deployed a thousand for this attack. First off, I think there are more than a thousand Al-Qaeda members in the United States, but for the Homeland Attack, that number is based on what Al-Qaeda is saying, so they could exaggerate it; however, they did have about 1,400 in the Hamas Attack so the number is not off from what they did in the first round of attacks.” (Read more)

- Oh, Father, we ask You to lead all our authorities to search out, bring to justice, and thence destroy all cells of this evil organization.  We ask that You would motivate those who have not been motivated in the past to uncover and pursue those who are here only to destroy the US.  We bind up any coverup of important information that would lead to arrests of terrorists.  In the name of Jesus, we decree that all cells will experience a sudden disorganization and an inability to communicate with each other, so that their planned missions are turned  into disasters and reveal who they really are.  Lord, by Your power and might, may we be rid of this threat to our country so that we may live a peaceable life and be a witness to You in the  earth.

3. Johnson Faces Key Test in Bid to Retain Speakership – The Epoch Times

 
With the start of the 119th Congress just a day away, Johnson can only afford to lose one Republican vote in the speaker election.
 
With the start of the 119th Congress just a day away, for some lawmakers, the impending speaker fight feels like deja vu.
 
On Jan. 3, the newly-elected Congress will gather in Washington, and its first order of business will be to elect the House speaker.
 
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is currently favored to keep the job, but with GOP criticism mounting, the ultimate outcome remains uncertain. The situation is reminiscent of two years ago, when it took 15 ballots and five days for Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to be named speaker—due in part to Republicans’ narrow majority at the time.
 
After the 2024 election, Republicans will maintain their narrow majority in the lower congressional chamber with 219 seats—just one above the 218-vote majority threshold of a full House.
 
Therefore, Johnson can only afford to lose one Republican, as no Democrats are expected to support his bid to keep the gavel. (Read more)
- We right now come against a spirit of division and we speak unity to those who will be voting on Friday.  We decree and declare that no weapon formed against God's choice for speaker of the House shall prosper and that a spirit of goodwill and hope for the future will prevail.  We come against lower feeling of resentment and all misconceptions that any members may have.  We pray that as the next speaker is elected, that he will have a force to be reckoned with as the House moves forward to the hard work of forming our country into what it should be.

4. Katz: IDF Will Intensify Fight Until Hamas Frees Hostages – JNS
 
The Israeli Air Force conducted over 1,400 strikes on Hamas terrorist targets in the Gaza Strip during December.
 
If Hamas does not release the 100 hostages it has been holding for 454 days and halt its rocket attacks on the Jewish state, Israel will deal it “blows with a force not seen in Gaza for a long time,” Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Wednesday.
 
“The IDF will intensify its activities against the terrorist nests in Gaza until the release of the hostages and the elimination of Hamas,” Katz warned during a visit to the southern Israeli city of Netivot.
 
Hamas terrorists welcomed 2025 by firing two rockets towards the Netivot area. No damages or injuries were reported in the attack.
 
“I call on Gaza’s residents to rise up against the murderous Hamas group, which also uses you as human shields, and to bring about the release of the hostages, to prevent suffering and end the war,” Katz said.
 
The defense minister in his remarks highlighted Israel’s “willingness to make far-reaching compromises in accordance with the principles outlined by the U.S. president.” (Read more)

- Jehovah shalom, we pray for Israel. Thank you for your chosen people whom we love. We pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Lord end this war quickly. Let the IDF be victorious and let the hostages be set free. Let Hamas be defeated, to never reign again. Thank you for this victory. We give you all glory, you are worthy, worthy to be praised. Ancient of days. In the name of your precious son, Jesus Christ, amen and amen.

5. US Supreme Court to Rule on Major Cases in 2025 – Discern Report

The U.S. Supreme Court has released a string of landmark rulings recently, from sending the abortion issue back to the states to granting a measure of presidential immunity to the overturning of Chevron deference, significantly weakening federal rulemaking power.

Supreme Court terms begin and end in October, and heading into the new year there are major cases awaiting.

Here are five of the biggest cases in which the Supreme Court is expected to weigh in by the end of this term:

Tik Tok Ban

Many lawmakers and national security experts have raised concerns about the invasive software attached to Tik Tok, a hugely popular entertainment app that reportedly has about 150 million active users.

Transgender Surgeries for Minors

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments last fall in United States v. Skrmetti, a case that considers the constitutionality of a Tennessee bill that bans transgender surgeries and hormones for minors. (Read more)
 - Holy one, we ask you to be with our Supreme Court judges, who have many challenging cases to consider this year. We ask you to give them your wisdom and knowledge to rule on every case. We ask that your will be done in every circumstance. We thank you for caring about every issue that the court must tend to. Thank you for being the lover of our souls . Thank you for saving our country and giving us the greatest gift of all -- eternal life with you. In Jesus' mighty name we pray. Amen and amen!

- "Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment." (John 7:24) 
6. Trump Admin Poised to Tackle DEI on Multiple Fronts – The Epoch Times
 
Trump’s statements on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives signal an administration that will target them both in government and private organizations.

President-elect Donald Trump’s statements and appointees have indicated an interest in ending diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs within the federal government while challenging their use in private organizations.

If his first term is any indication, he will likely use executive orders to end the promotion of DEI or critical race theory within federal agencies. Specifically, he could use the federal government to reform education, bar diversity training within the federal government, and use the Department of Justice (DOJ) to sue over perceived reverse discrimination in employment and college admissions.

His nominee for secretary of defense, former Fox News host Pete Hegseth, has expressed opposition to DEI, as has his pick to lead the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr.

Trump’s decision to nominate Harmeet Dhillon to lead the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division indicated a willingness to bring lawsuits against corporations and universities employing race-based policies. (Read more)

- Father God, God bless President Trump. He has his hands full, but he is eager and up for the challenges he is facing. He will take on the DEI crisis by using Executive Orders and working with our Department of Justice. We pray he and his administration will have your favor and your wisdom to get this task done. Please help President Trump to find a way to undo all the damages that the Biden administration has done. We pray President Trump surrounds himself with godly counselors, that will be full of your wisdom. We pray he will be successful in all he does. Give him protection from the enemy and give him peace. We ask this in Jesus' mighty name, amen and amen.

- "Save us we pray, o Lord!  O Lord we pray give us success!" (Psalm 118:25)

Special Report: Terrorists on American Soil

The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, January 2, 2025

The ISIS-inspired terrorist attack in New Orleans on New Years reveals many shortcomings and predictors at the beginning of what will become a very prophetic year. The predictors center around what could be ahead for Americans as terror groups have infiltrated the country and see America as closely tied to Israel, the terrorists’ blood enemy. As we have seen with the example of New Orleans and the subsequent pro-terrorist demonstrations in New York calling for an intifada against the US, there is a dangerous road ahead. Every American must understand these terrorists are on American soil and intend to do Americans harm. This is a new era for the country and we must be vigilant and draw closer to God.

The shortcomings are many. In December 2018, President Donald Trump declared victory over ISIS and the last of ISIS-held territory in Syria was liberated in March 2019. The Biden Administration, in typical Democrat style, allowed ISIS to reform. Like the Obama Administration, Biden’s is soft on Islam, sending billions of US taxpayer dollars to Hamas, the Palestinian Authority, Yemen, and Iran in the name of “humanitarianism.” This funded the terrorist efforts that were depleted during Trump, who cut off aid to those terrorist sponsors. Moreover, Trump reversed Obama’s open borders. Biden reversed Trump’s border security. Between Obama and Biden thousands of terrorists have entered the US. Read More

'Lives depend on it': Republicans push for prompt Trump confirmations in wake of New Orleans attack

Senate Republicans are urging expedited confirmation of President-elect Trump's administration appointments, particularly those for crucial national security posts, in the wake of a New Year's attack in New Orleans where a terrorist suspect drove a car into a large crowd, killing more than a dozen people. 

"Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the senseless terror attack in New Orleans," said incoming Senate Republican Leader John Thune, R-S.D., on X. 

"With reports of ISIS inspiration, the American people expect clear answers from the administration," Thune said. "The threat posed by ISIS will outlast this administration, and this is a clear example of why the Senate must get President Trump’s national security team in place as quickly as possible."

The FBI said the holiday attack left at least 14 people dead and dozens of others injured. Israel revealed that two of its citizens were among those injured. Victims' names are not to be released until autopsies are finished and families are notified, New Orleans Coroner Dr. Dwight McKenna said in a statement. 

Republicans in the Senate were already eager to quickly push through Trump's selections, including Kash Patel for FBI director, Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence and Pete Hegseth for secretary of defense. But with the latest attack and others developing around the country, many lawmakers have indicated that a prompt confirmation process is even more crucial. 

Incoming Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso, R-Wyo., wrote on X, "The U.S. Senate must confirm President Trump’s national security team as soon as possible. Lives depend on it."
 

"I’ll be working to ensure President Trump has every tool at his disposal, including a fully confirmed national security and intelligence team ASAP to investigate these attacks and make our country safe again," said Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., in response to the attack. 

Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., echoed that sentiment in her own statement, saying, "We must work nonstop to get President Trump’s national security team in place without delay."

- Father God of all mercy, we earnestly pray that President-elect Trump’s picks for administration appointments, especially the national security team, pass the Senate on the first vote. We thank You that a number of Republican senators are pushing for a quick confirmation and pray that Democrat senators will quickly get on board, putting aside politics or personal preferences for the good of the American people. So many of our citizens are waiting for the massive ‘clean-up’ that is needed desperately in our nation, especially in light of recent acts of terror. We ask for Your mighty, sovereign help that we may experience significant repentance in our nation and move forward quickly into the destiny that You have for us. We pray for extreme favor with each of the senators for every candidate that You want on the national security team and the rest of Trump’s staff. We pray against any stumbling blocks, delays or hindrances to their confirmation from the enemy’s camp, by the Blood of the Lamb and mighty name of Yeshua. Amen!!!

Revealed: New Orleans ISIS terrorist and Cybertruck bomber both served at Fort Bragg

Both men behind Wednesday’s dual suspected terror attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas previously served at the same North Carolina Army base, The Post has learned.

Shamsud-Din Jabbar, who killed 14 people when he rammed his truck through New Year’s crowds on Bourbon Street, was an Army veteran who lived in Fayetteville in 2012.

Matthew Livelsberger, a former US Army special forces soldier, was the driver of the Cybertruck that exploded in Las Vegas.
 

He was assigned to the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, which is headquartered Fort Bragg — now Fort Liberty — in 2013, according to a Facebook post by the division’s 1st Brigade Combat team in November 2013.

Cybertruck bombing suspect Matthew Livelsberger was an active-duty Green Beret when his rented Tesla truck exploded at the entrance of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas hours after Jabbar’s attack.

To become a Green Beret — as he did in 2006 — soldiers must attend the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School located at Fort Liberty, meaning he would have been there at least that year. (New York Post)  Read more here. 

Creator of the Universe, You surely know what is going on in our nation right now—every facet of all things—particularly the who, what, when and how of the horrific terrorist attack in New Orleans and the exploding Tesla Cybertruck outside of the Las Vegas Trump Towers International. We humbly ask, Abba, that You reveal any connections between the New Orleans and Las Vegas events in ways that cannot be denied by anyone. Abba, we are really sick of the FBI mumbo-jumbo and their ‘confidence in their discoveries’ today or the lack of any conclusive evidence or resolution of the assassination attempts in 2024. May the FBI either be transformed into a well-run, useful and truthful agency or be eliminated.

Lord God, we plead for the truth of what has transpired before, during and after these extreme events and all possible connections unveiled, including any other individuals or groups involved in any way. We ask that, in Your love and mercy, You expose all sleeper cells and evil plans to harm within our nation that they can be neutralized.

Thank You that You are guiding President-elect Trump with Your wisdom in choosing those staff members who will truly work to bring speedy healing to our nation. May they all have ears to hear and eyes to see what You are doing and what You require from them.  Glorify Your name, Father God!!!

- Father, we ask your blessings upon this wonderful new transition team appointed by President Trump.  Lord God, please teach them to work in unity as one with you to build America into what you want it to be. May righteousness lead them in any decisions that need to be made as this team unites all people of our nation.  Thank you, Lord, for guiding them, protecting them and their families as You pour out your Spirit of truth upon each one. We are truly a blessed nation! Amen and Amen.

2025 In View Of Biblical Prophecy: Top Developing Stories To Be Watching
It's difficult for me to believe that another year has come to an end. 2024 was a year full of surprises. Iran's historic ballistic missile attack on Israel, President Trump's re-election, Israel's success over Iran's terror proxies, and Assad's sudden departure for Russia made this a year filled with stunning twists.

That being said, I want to help us turn the page on 2024 and look ahead to key developing stories for 2025 that I believe carry remarkable prophetic significance.

Game of Drones

The "game of drones" all began November 18 with perplexing mystery drones appearing in the sky over New Jersey and New York. The sightings of these drones have now expanded to include Connecticut and California. While there has been a considerable level of speculation, there has not been any conclusive statements about what they are and who they are being operated by.

Other Developing Stories to be Watching:
  • Israel vs Iran
  • Russian Aggression
  • Confidence in the Sovereignty of God
