The First Thanksgiving: A Feast of Tabernacles

In the fall of 1621, Governor William Bradford (my 12th great grandfather) and the Pilgrims gathered with their Wampanoag neighbors to thank God for a bountiful harvest and their survival in a new land. For three days, they feasted, prayed and gave thanks under the open sky. Bradford, who was a student of Hebrew, wrote…

Stupidocrisy: Islamic Radicalization of our Children

Judicial Watch just exposed how the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)—an organization supporting terrorists like Hamas—is now embedding itself in American classrooms under the guise of “civil rights” education. Their curriculum is designed to reshape how children see America, portraying Islam as peaceful and misunderstood while suggesting America has been unjust and intolerant. For those…

Modern Turkey’s Prophetic March Toward Ezekiel 38

When Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz told Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan to “get the hell out of here” after Ankara issued “genocide” warrants for Israeli leaders, it was more than a war of words. This public break echoes a deeper prophetic undercurrent. Erdogan, long sympathetic to radical Islamist causes, now positions Turkey directly against Israel—mobilizing…

The Seed and the Promise

Generations rise and fall, yet Scripture keeps circling back to the same promise. Genesis 25:19-28:9 (Toldot, meaning Generations in Hebrew) opens with Isaac and Rebekah, twenty years into marriage and still without a child. Isaac prays, God answers, and suddenly Rebekah is carrying twins who are already wrestling for destiny. The Lord tells her she’s…

The American Chronicles: Nimisila Nights and the Refrigerator Blues

Couple smiling by a lake at sunset.

We rolled out of Hocking Hills under a steady October drizzle. Ohio weather can’t make up its mind, and this day was proof. What started as a simple three-hour drive to General RV in Canton turned into a soggy, windshield-wiper marathon. This was our third trip trying to get the refrigerator fixed. Third time’s the charm? Not…

The Prophetic Significance of NYC Going Muslim

The election of a Democrat Socialist Muslim mayor in New York City—the same city struck by Islamist terrorists on 9/11—is more than political irony. It may be prophetic. For decades, America’s Middle East policies have steadily aligned with the very nations the Bible describes as rising against Israel in the last days. Daniel 12:4 warns…

Stupidocrisy—The Schumer Shutdown

The federal government ground to a halt when Senate Democrats refused to pass a continuing resolution unless it included billions in health care subsidies. Fourteen attempts failed to reach the 60-vote threshold needed to keep the lights on. This record-breaking shutdown hurt not only federal workers but also the contractors who depend on those jobs.…

The new face of Fascism is the same old face

Recently, there has been a disturbing rise in open hostility against Jews and the state of Israel. In Paris, a performance by the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra was fire-bombed by anti-Israel protesters in an open attack on art and identity. In Birmingham, UK, the build-up to the soccer match between Aston Villa and Maccabi Tel Aviv…

From Machpelah to the New Jerusalem

“Hayyei Sarah,” (Genesis 23:1-25:18), “The Life of Sarah,” begins with a striking contrast by opening with her death at 127 years old. From that moment, three important narratives unfold. First, Abraham secures a burial place for Sarah in the cave of Machpelah, making it the first piece of the Promised Land actually owned by the…

A Day in the Hills

Smiling couple in forested outdoor setting.

October in Ohio is as unpredictable as a coin toss. One minute it’s a postcard scene, the next it’s a soggy tent flap. So when our midweek meetup with family in Hocking Hills delivered one perfect, dry day, we made the most of it. Chris and Service Dog Charlie headed out first, taking a steady…
