The March of Prophecy Part I—The peacemakers
In observing the current events in the Middle East, The Daily Jot is offering a three-part series on the March of Prophecy that connects the dots of agreements, leaders, and Scripture. The headlines out of Washington recently have been astonishing: A US president sitting down with a Syrian leader whose past includes fighting alongside militant…
Read MoreStupidocrisy–Terrorists, Socialists, and the Optics No One Wants to Talk About
There’s no polite way to open this one, so let’s just be honest about the optics. President Trump publicly met with Syria’s terrorist “president” Ahmed al-Sharaa, a man who helped kill US troops as a member of al Qaida. Trump said al-Sharaa is a “Tough guy. Strong past. Very strong past. Fighter. He’s a real…
Read MoreAn Alarming Shift toward historic disaster
There’s an alarming real shift happening in how younger Americans view Israel, terrorism and the Jewish people. Recent polling shows attitudes that would have been unthinkable twenty years ago. Among adults under 30, only 14 percent say their sympathies lie mostly with Israel, while 33 percent side with the Palestinians. Another survey shows 38 percent…
Read MoreThe Place
Jacob’s journey in Genesis 28:10-32:2, “Vayetze,” (And he went) opens with tension and uncertainty. After securing the blessing of the firstborn through deception, Jacob becomes the target of his brother Esau’s vengeance and flees toward his mother’s relatives in Haran. On the way, exhaustion drops him into sleep at a specific place, Ha Maquom. He…
Read MoreThe American Chronicles: Plymouth Visit
Chris and I were excited to see Plymouth village and rediscover the history, knowing now what I didn’t know when I first visited Plymouth—(I know, here we go again) that I was descended from two Mayflower voyagers—William Bradford on my father’s side and Richard Warren on my mother’s line. The night before, we made camp…
Read MoreThe 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…
Read MoreStupidocrisy: 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…
Read MoreModern 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…
Read MoreThe 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…
Read MoreThe American Chronicles: Nimisila Nights and the Refrigerator Blues
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…
