ISRAEL – A BONE OF CONTENTION

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

That is what we read in Ezekiel 36:19-24, when God speaks about the Jewish people living in disobedience: “So I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed throughout the countries; I judged them according to their ways and their deeds. When they came to the nations, wherever they went, they profaned My holy name—when they said of them, ‘These are the people of the Lord, and yet they have gone out of His land.’ But I had concern for My holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations wherever they went. ‘Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord God: ‘I do not do this for your sake, O house of Israel, but for My holy name’s sake, which you have profaned among the nations wherever you went. And I will sanctify My great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord,’ says the Lord God, ‘when I am hallowed in you before their eyes. For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land.”

The sad reality is that more and more Christians are embracing replacement theology, which teaches that either the church has replaced Israel or it is the “real and true Israel.” Many even believe that modern-day Israel is just a result of political operatives after World War II, and therefore, it has no business being discussed at the pulpit.

None of those Christian leaders and churches that embrace replacement theology would disagree that God literally scattered the Jewish people to the four corners of the earth as a result of their disobedience. They take no issue with that. However, when it comes to Israel’s regathering, somehow, they shift gears. They go to great lengths to try to prove that God doesn’t really mean what He says.

In Genesis 15:18, we read, “On the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying: ‘To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates’”

In Genesis 17:7-8, God says, “I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you. Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.”

Psalm 105:8-11 powerfully states, “He remembers His covenant forever, The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations, The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac, And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant, Saying, ‘To you I will give the land of Canaan As the allotment of your inheritance.’”

When God made this covenant with Abraham some 4,000 years ago, Abraham was in a deep sleep, and God swore it by Himself: “For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself” (Hebrews 6:13). Thus, as we read in Ezekiel 36, it is God’s name that is at stake because of the promises that He has made.

Jeremiah 23:7-8 states, “‘Therefore, behold, the days are coming,’ says the Lord, ‘that they shall no longer say, ‘As the Lord lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,’ but, ‘As the Lord lives who brought up and led the descendants of the house of Israel from the north country and from all the countries where I had driven them.’ And they shall dwell in their own land.’”

Jeremiah 31:8-10 reads, “Behold, I will bring them from the north country, And gather them from the ends of the earth, Among them the blind and the lame, The woman with child And the one who labors with child, together; A great throng shall return there. They shall come with weeping, And with supplications I will lead them. I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters, In a straight way in which they shall not stumble; For I am a Father to Israel, And Ephraim is My firstborn. ‘Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, And declare it in the isles afar off, and say, ‘He who scattered Israel will gather him, And keep him as a shepherd does his flock.’”

Can it be any more clear? Here is one more verse that should silence all of the naysayers: “Thus says the Lord, Who gives the sun for a light by day, The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night, Who disturbs the sea, And its waves roar (The Lord of hosts is His name): ‘If those ordinances depart From before Me, says the Lord, Then the seed of Israel shall also cease From being a nation before Me forever’” (Jeremiah 31:35-36).

In other words, as long as the sun, moon, and stars are shining in the sky and the function of this world is intact, Israel is going to remain before God forever as a nation. Period.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! I will always stand with Israel. They are not perfect, neither are we in America, but we honor the Lord God Almighty and his faithfulness. God is not a man who can lie, His Word is steadfast, you can stand on it! Rh

TPUSA Announces Counter to Bad Bunny Super Bowl Halftime Appearance: The ‘All American Halftime Show’

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

I don’t know how this will work but praise the Lord for it. Let’s make America Godly Again!! Rh

The Gateway Pundit reported that the National Football League announced that anti-Trump Puerto Rican rap star Bad Bunny will be the Apple Music Halftime entertainer for Super Bowl LX, to be held at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California on February 8, 2026.

Bad Bunny has been vocal about his disdain for efforts to protect Americans through U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) enforcement and declared in an interview that he would not tour the United States out of fear that ICE agents would arrest his fans outside his shows.

He also posted a video earlier this year, cursing at ICE agents in Puerto Rico.

To his critics, he sneered, “You have four months” to learn Spanish.

While Bad Bunny feigns concern about ICE and events, they routinely attend major events like the Super Bowl, primarily to address security concerns such as human trafficking, counterfeit merchandise, and illegal immigration enforcement. During the 2025 Super Bowl, ICE was reported to have a significant presence, focusing on identifying and apprehending individuals involved in illegal activities.

Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, confirmed that ICE agents will be present again at the Super Bowl in February.

“We’ll be all over that place. We are going to enforce the law. You shouldn’t be coming to the Super Bowl unless you are a law-abiding American citizen.”

The choice of a prominent anti-Trump anti-ICE (ie. anti-law and order) performer has created controversy.

Turning Point USA (TPUSA) announced that they are providing an alternative to the hate-fest, an ‘All American Halftime Show.’

They announced the news on X sharing, “HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT!” It’s true, Turning Point USA is thrilled to announce The All American Halftime Show.”

“Performers and event details coming soon.”

I don’t know how this will work, but I am all in. I haven’t watched a NFL demonic halftime show in 20 years!. Looking forward to more updates.

Is Trump’s ‘Board Of Peace’ A Foreshadowing Of Daniel’s End-Times Covenant? 

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Let me be clear, Trump is not the anti-christ!  but could something like this be a foreshadowing of what is to come.  I think possibly.  Let’s be watchful on the world stage.  For now though, I don’t see this peace treaty or time of peace negotiated as ever truly coming to pass.   Hamas never wants peace.  Their own legitimacy revolves around a war mentality that comes from centuries ago.  Eternal hatred of the Jewish people.  IMO.

Trump Makes U-turn on Ukraine

www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/world/2025/september/why-trump-made-a-sharp-turn-on-ukraine-war-criticizing-putin-and-praising-zelenskyy

Trump seems to be changing course quite a bit lately. Stabbing Netanyahu in the back on the annexation of the West Bank. Now it seems he is cozying up to Zelensky. Troubled by these apparent flip flops on policy positions from Trump. Am I disappointed with Trump’s decisions? Yes on both issues. I guess we will find out how it plays out. Praying for an end to both situations. Trump needs our prayers. It’s a tough job, and who knows who has his ear. Rh

Gender Mafia

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Well it’s happening folks, the queer, homo, lesbian, trans, furries, and other + individuals have become a left wing Marxist army.  Or at least a terrorist organization.  Many months ago, or was it a couple of years ago, time flies when you are trying to save the country one blog post at a time. I picked what I thought was the perfect name for the crazies who believed in all out immorality.  I named them the Gender Mafia.  Now the name seems to fit.  My reference then was because if you even attempted, which I have in testimony before governmental officials, to stop their radical exhibitionism they would cry, scream and yell at you from the high heavens.  Or should I say the pit of hell. I was called a hateful, arrogant closed minded Christian.  Even though personally I wouldn’t care what they did behind closed doors.  Not my problem, just keep it off the streets and behind a locked door.  Nevertheless they insist on not only flaunting and asking for acceptance but now expecting a celebration of their hedonistic lifestyle. Buckle up!

According to an article in World Net Daily, the FBI is now investigating the pro-gun Armed Queers SLC, a Salt Lake City group whose transgender leader openly supports violence, for possible connections to alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson.  Ermya Fanaeian, who worked on Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren’s (Pocahontas) presidential campaign in 2020 responded to a reporter’s question about needing violence to get the attention of people. She responded “I agree. I absolutely agree.”

The New York Post reports: “Armed Queers SLC quietly scrubbed its online presence after Kirk was assassinated, but a law enforcement source told The Post that all open-source information on the group was downloaded and handed over to the FBI.”

“Fanaeian and Armed Queers SLC are on investigators’ radar as the FBI has widened its probe to include a potential extended network that could have aided Robinson in the Sept. 10 sniper attack at Utah Valley University.”

But in 2020, Fanaeian launched the Salt Lake City chapter of Pink Pistols “whose mission is to arm LGBTQ people,” according to KUER Radio which profiled Fanaeian.

On March 18, a man by the name of Paul Hyon Kim set on fire and shot up a total of five Tesla vehicles. He also left a Molotov cocktail inside one of them. 

Court documents concerning the incident said, “Kim has an Instagram page where he follows the Socialist Rifle Association’s page. In a post from October 2018, on the Reno Socialist Rifle Association’s Instagram page, is a picture of a subject that appears to be Paul Kim training with firearms.”

The Socialist Rifle Association was first incorporated as an organization in the state of Kansas back in 2019. It was founded by Alexander Tackett, who identified as a woman and went by the name Alex Norma Tackett. He owned a queer bookstore — yes, they do exist, it seems — that said, “Lilith [it/she] & Alex Tackett [she/it] are a trans lesbian couple living in Wichita with their six-year-old son,” on its website.

Organization co-founder Faye Ecklar stated, “I believe firearms ownership is necessary because, as a transgender socialist, half the country wants me dead, and the other half is happy to watch. 

There are chapters of the SRA springing up all over the country. Members meet in person for events and also communicate via Discord, the same chat application that Robinson used and was potentially radicalized through. SRA’s attempt to become a tax-exempt group was rejected in spring 2023 due to its failure to submit financial returns for three years. 

Just a couple of days ago I learned of another group that is an offshoot of ANTIFA.  It’s called transtifa.  Yes they are affiliated with that terror group.  It seems they are the radical military wing of the trans movement.  Hmm, that makes sense now.  Always wondered why so many self identifying trans people have suddenly turned violent.  Minnesota shooting, Tennessee shooting and the recent Utah assassination of Charley Kirk all done by a trans person or in Kirk’s case a shooter living with a trans individual. The terror attacks seem to be against schools and churches.  They hate the truth.  Violence, murder and fear is meant to silence free speech, something the Trans Mafia hates. 

Just as the real life Mafia, you do what they say and pay homage or you suffer the consequences.

The Stones Are Screaming: Israel’s Existence Written in Rock

By Tania Curado Koenig

Powerful article for all those who love Israel. Tania is the wife of Bill Koenig. Www.watch.org.

Jerusalem — June 1, 2025 | Published — September 17, 2025

On June 1, 2025, I stood with my husband William on Jerusalem’s Pilgrimage Road — the broad stone street that runs from the Pool of Siloam to the Temple Mount. For centuries it lay buried under earth and silence, but now it has been unveiled in full. Here is the last 600 meters of ascent, where prophets prophesied, where families sang the Psalms of Ascent, where priests carried offerings, and where Jesus Himself once walked.

On the Pilgrimage Road — William and I standing on the very stones where prophets, pilgrims, and Jesus Himself once walked.

As I placed my hand on those ancient steps, I realized: Israel’s existence is not theory. It is not politics. It is not up for debate. Israel’s existence is written in rock.

And this week — September 14–16, 2025 — the world witnessed these rocks testify again, as the Pilgrimage Road was officially opened in a historic ceremony attended by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Ambassador Mike Huckabee. Their words became the pillars of this moment: history, covenant, and eternal promise.

Netanyahu: The Stones of History

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not mince words. He reminded the world that archaeology itself is proof:

“In 1998, I hosted the Prime Minister of Turkey… there is a tablet, a stone tablet, in Hebrew, that was found in the tunnel dug 2,700 years ago by King Hezekiah, 300 years after King David… perhaps, except the Dead Sea Scrolls, the most important archaeological discovery in Israel.

I offered an exchange. But he refused, saying there would be outrage if Turkey returned a tablet that would show Jerusalem was a Jewish city 2,700 years ago.”

And Netanyahu concluded with clarity:

“Well, it was a Jewish city 3,000 years ago. Here, right next to these stones and on these pavements, the prophets of Israel prophesied, the kings of Israel walked, the pilgrims came… and this continued for 1,000 years into the time of Jesus, a Jewish rabbi from the Galilee who came here to Jerusalem, the Holy of Holies, and He came here.”

Rubio: The People Remain

Then Secretary of State Marco Rubio stood on the same road, adding the voice of America at Israel’s side. His presence was not symbolic; it was prophetic in itself.

Rubio declared:

“All the civilizations that conquered this city are gone. But one people remain. They have returned. For God’s promise is eternal, and His word is always true.”

Huckabee: The Stones Cry Out

Finally, Ambassador Mike Huckabee gave the words that became the heartbeat of the night. His speech was not just politics; it was Scripture alive:

“It was 4,000 years ago here in this city, on Mount Moriah, where God chose His people. He not only chose a people, but He chose a place, and then He chose for the people in this place a purpose. The people were the Jewish people. The place was Israel, and the purpose was to be a light to the world…

This little sliver of real estate is the most contested land in all of human history — not just because of those who want it, but because of those who don’t want the Jewish people to have it. But tonight something extraordinary we celebrate: the story is not just alive — it is more alive than perhaps it has been in the 4,000 years that God chose His people, His place, His purpose.

…History is to a civilization what memory is to the individual. And tonight this is a celebration of the history of Yerushalayim. Luke 19:40 says: ‘If the crowds keep quiet, the stones will cry out.’ Tonight the stones are crying out. The crowds may say it, but the stones absolutely and 100% validate that the Jewish people not only belong here now, but they have belonged here for 4,000 years since the time God said to Abraham, ‘This is yours.’

…And I salute you and join you tonight in the celebration of this wonderful, magnificent, incredible reminder that God never has been finished with Israel, and He never will be. This is the eternal home that He has chosen. God bless you all.”

With William on the steps of the Pilgrimage Road — where Jesus walked, where David sang, where the stones now cry out.

Why This Moment Matters

So it is clear:
– Netanyahu said: the stones of history prove Jerusalem was Jewish 3,000 years ago.
– Huckabee said: the stones cry out and validate God’s covenant.
– Rubio said: the people remain, because God’s word is eternal.

The nations debate in the UN. Terrorists launch rockets. The world seeks to divide what God has united. But the Pilgrimage Road has been opened, and the stones themselves are answering back.

They declare that Jerusalem is eternal. That Israel is the wife of the Almighty God, Adonai (Ezekiel 16). That Israel exists not by chance but by covenant. That God keeps His promises.

The Stones and the Covenant

I believe that when I walked the Pilgrimage Road on the 1st of June, 2025, with my husband William, there was an anointing resting on those stones. Not only the anointing of the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, Yeshua the Messiah of Israel, but also the echo of King David, the psalmist who gave Jerusalem her eternal songs.

Here Paul once preached. Here Jesus once spoke. Here David once wrote. And here the stones still shout, just as Jesus Himself declared: “I tell you, if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out” (Luke 19:40).

These stones scream for the existence of Israel. They scream for the land the Lord Himself has chosen. They scream for the covenant God never abandoned.

Through the prophet Ezekiel, God calls Israel His wife (Ezekiel 16). Through the psalms, He sealed Jerusalem as His eternal dwelling. And through these stones, He is still testifying: His promises remain.

So I close with the words of David, words that bind us to memory and covenant:

“If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget her skill. May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy” (Psalm 137:5–6).

This is not poetry alone. This is history underfoot. This is covenant carved in stone. This is prophecy alive in the dust and in the air of Jerusalem.

And tonight, as in every generation, the stones are not silent.

They are screaming: Jerusalem is home. Israel lives. God is

Turkey; A Rogue Nation On The Rise

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

I have said for many years that Russia, even though they will be leading the Ezekiel 38 coalition that moves against Israel in the last days, is not the primary nation to worry about. I think Turkey is going to be an instigator just as much if not more than Russia. Yes Russia seems to be the primary nation from the far north, however, many of the nations that are mentioned are not only Muslim but have been a part of the old Ottoman Empire.  

The leader of Turkey is a dictator. His human rights record is horrible.  Edorgen imagines himself an end time leader to bring a resurgence of the caliphate.  He has visions of grandeur.  He walks a tightrope as a member of NATO, but also staying true to his Muslim brothers. At times he has ignored Israel, but most recently the rhetoric that is being hurled against Israel by Turkey is troublesome. Turkey has 450,000 troops ready to march, second among NATO forces, and  a sophisticated drone wing as well as working on missile technology. Turkey is now a rogue nation, threatening Israel, and others in the Middle East, including Syria, and having a close relationship with Russia and China.  This is a nation that needs to be taken seriously.

Perhaps the most dangerous element of Erdoğan’s strategy lies to Israel’s north. Turkey has entrenched itself in Syria, creating zones of influence just across Israel’s border. This puts Turkish forces—and the Islamist militias it backs—perilously close to Israel’s northern frontier. For Israel, the nightmare scenario is clear, Turkey an established state with advanced weaponry, a massive army, and global alliances.

Again, we are living in prophetic times. We understand that Russia will lead a coalition from the north to move on against Israel in what is called Ezekiel 38 war. However, it is Turkey that will be right with them and maybe even pushing them in that direction . Russia will probably have much more economic reasons from moving the Ezekiel 38 war against Israel, but Turkey has an intense hatred of the Jewish people.  Religious  hatred in the Middle East is powerful for war. 

 Turkey has already reshaped battlefields from Nagorno-Karabakh to Ukraine, and its defense industry is expanding rapidly. This combination of military power, strategic geography, and ideological fervor makes Turkey a unique threat. Iran may be Israel’s most immediate adversary, but Turkey’s long-term potential is greater: 

  • a modern state
  • a powerful army
  • and a leader bent on empire.

More Dangerous Than Iran?

For years, Israeli leaders and analysts have worried about Tehran’s nuclear clock. But what if the greater danger is Ankara’s ambition clock?  Iran represents a sectarian Shi‘ite power; Turkey represents the possibility of a pan-Sunni revival.

Where Iran builds power through fear, Turkey builds it through influence—through trade, cultural ties, religious rhetoric, and the promise of Islamic unity. In many ways, this is the more potent formula. A leader who can unite diverse Muslim nations under the banner of Jerusalem’s “liberation” poses a threat that reaches far beyond rockets and centrifuges.

For those who read history with the Bible in hand, the rise of Turkey as Israel’s adversary should not come as a surprise. Ezekiel 38 describes a vast northern coalition led by “Gog of the land of Magog” that will one day march against Israel. Among the nations listed are Meshech and Tubal—regions that many scholars trace back to modern-day Turkey.

This prophecy outlines not just a sudden attack, but a deliberate alignment of nations under a leader who seeks to destroy Israel in the latter days. We are told that this coalition will include Persia (modern Iran), Cush, Put (North Africa), and others—but Turkey may very well be the spearhead of the end-time invasion

Never fear, it will not be Israel’s strength that saves them on that day, but it will be the very hand of God that will fight on Israel‘s behalf. As a noted radio personality, and defender of the faith Jan Markell has said recently, “the pieces are not falling apart, they’re falling into place.”  Maranatha
