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

Random Thoughts 9/24/25

For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy: The true spirit of prophecy always shows itself in bearing witness to Jesus. “Any teaching of prophecy that takes our minds and hearts away from Him is not being properly communicated.” (Hocking)

i. “This means that prophecy at its very heart is designed to unfold the beauty and loveliness of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.” (Valvoord). Never receive a word or believe a word without it being based on the Word of God. Too many wannabe’s out there. Be careful, and be not deceived. Rh

Revelation 19:15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword: The idea isn’t that Jesus holds a sword in his mouth like a buccaneer, or that He is “spitting swords.” This is a dramatic way of referring to the power of His Word. “Christ conquers by the power of His Word” (Johnson). Five times in the Book Revelation, John emphasizes that Jesus’ sword comes out of His mouth. Once against it’s all about the Word, Psa. 138:2, John 1:1 Rh

Revelation 16:6-9 And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns! Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’” And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.” I long for that day to sit in a Heavenly feast with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

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

After Charlie Kirk’s Death: A Movement Weeping, A Rift Over Israel By Tania Curado Koenig

Please read prayerfully. Rh

September 11, 2025 

The assassination of Charlie Kirk has sharpened an already raw debate inside the conservative world. At the center is not only the question of who killed him, but also the deeper issue of where the American Right now stands on Israel. The Turning Point USA Student Action Summit (SAS), held July 11–13, 2025 in Tampa Bay, Florida, revealed a movement divided: some voices defending Israel with conviction, others drifting toward rhetoric that echoes classic antisemitic tropes.

As Kirk himself told Megyn Kelly on August 6, 2025 — just one month before his death: “I think I have a bulletproof résumé showing my defense of Israel. I believe in the scriptural land rights given to Israel. I believe in the fulfillment of prophecy. My life was changed in Israel. The spiritual energy is so amazing there. I want them to win.”

The Conspiracy Swirl

The circumstances of Kirk’s assassination have ignited a storm of speculation. Who ordered the killing? Was it a lone sniper, or was the act part of a wider plot to silence one of the most visible pro-Israel voices on the American Right? In the absence of clarity, conspiracy theories multiply. Some point to foreign enemies, others to domestic extremists, and still others whisper about deeper networks that want to fracture the MAGA movement from within. What is undeniable is that Kirk’s death has become a symbolic battlefield where narratives of distrust, suspicion, and political warfare now rage.

Enemies Rejoicing

While conservatives mourn, many on the radical Left and among pro-Hamas activists are openly rejoicing. For them, Kirk’s death is seen not as a tragedy but as a victory over a man who symbolized unapologetic alignment with Israel. It is not Islam as a whole, nor the billions of Muslims worldwide, but the radicalized factions—Hamas supporters, pro-Palestinian agitators, and anti-Israel extremists—who are celebrating. Their glee exposes the reality that Kirk’s murder is not just a political assassination but part of a larger ideological conflict. To them, every pro-Israel voice that falls is another step toward silencing the defense of Jerusalem.

A Prophetic Pattern

There is also a deeper spiritual pattern that cannot be ignored. Throughout history, those who stand boldly with Israel have drawn fierce opposition—whether through ridicule, political backlash, or violence. Kirk’s own words in 2025 about Israel’s biblical land rights and prophetic destiny placed him squarely in that tradition. It is no coincidence that the powers hostile to Israel—both seen and unseen—react when a defender rises. His “bulletproof résumé” was not only a political statement but also a spiritual banner. His assassination reveals once again that the conflict over Israel is not merely geopolitical, but profoundly prophetic.

Charlie Kirk’s Position

Kirk’s legacy is complicated but clear on one crucial point: he remained pro-Israel. Israeli leaders hailed him as a friend in the hours after his death. Yet in 2025, Kirk was also outspoken against U.S. military involvement in the Israel–Iran war. His line was blunt: “Iran is Israel’s war, not America’s.” He warned Donald Trump and Republican hawks that dragging the United States into another Middle East conflict would fracture the MAGA base. This position—pro-Israel in principle, anti-intervention in practice—defined his final months. It also underscored the generational tension on the Right: loyalty to Israel, yes, but with rising resistance to foreign entanglements.

Tucker Carlson’s Provocation

At SAS, Tucker Carlson was given the prime slot. He used it to speculate about Jeffrey Epstein, Mossad, and Israel in language many judged conspiratorial and hostile. The crowd roared with energy, but the substance rattled Jewish leaders. The American Jewish Committee even issued a rebuke after Megyn Kelly and Kirk entertained Carlson’s framing on air. Carlson’s words tapped into a generational current: a rising skepticism among Gen Z conservatives toward unconditional support for Israel. What once was an unshakable plank of the conservative movement now drew cheers when challenged.

Sidebar: Voices at the Student Action Summit

Charlie Kirk: “Iran is Israel’s war, not America’s.” — June 2025, warning against U.S. entry into the Israel–Iran conflict. Takeaway: Pro-Israel, but anti-intervention. Tucker Carlson: “Was Jeffrey Epstein working for Mossad? Why is no one asking that?” — July 2025, SAS keynote. Takeaway: Anti-Israel framing, leaning on conspiratorial tropes; drew big crowd energy but heavy backlash.

The Generational Divide

SAS revealed that Kirk had not turned against Israel—he had not. But the movement he helped build is no longer unified. Free-speech absolutism and anti-intervention instincts are colliding with older evangelical loyalties to Israel. Carlson’s framing resonated with many Gen Z attendees, while Kirk’s own testimony reminded the movement of its spiritual and prophetic roots.

What This Means Going Forward

For the MAGA movement, the task is unavoidable: to decide whether its future will carry forward Israel’s defense or drift toward voices that normalize suspicion, conspiracy, and hostility. Charlie Kirk’s assassination froze his stance in time—pro-Israel but wary of American entanglement. His platforming choices, however, handed the microphone to rhetoric that blurred the lines. The tragedy also revealed how swiftly enemies of Israel—from radical activists to terrorist sympathizers—rejoice when a defender of Israel is silenced. That response itself is a prophetic sign of the times, exposing the true nature of the conflict. The choice before the movement is the same choice before America: will it honor clarity of vision, or will it allow the loudest voices—and the darkest enemies—to redefine the terms?

Closing Note

America is in deep pain. A nation is grieving the loss of a man who shaped a generation of young conservatives and boldly testified his defense of Israel. This wound is not only political; it is personal for millions who feel shaken, disoriented, and sorrowful in this moment. Our hearts cry with Erika, his wife, who is devastated. We pray that she will be comforted by the Holy Spirit, the Comforter who ministers in the darkest hour, and that their children will be surrounded with peace and strength. We also lift America before the Lord, asking for healing, clarity, and protection in this time of mourning. May the Holy Spirit not only comfort Erika and her family but also bring consolation to a nation weeping. And above all, we pray for the peace of Jerusalem, as Scripture commands: “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: may those who love you be secure” (Psalm 122:6).

ControllingThe Narrative

Leftists and progressives know that what people believe to be true shapes and controls them, whether it is true or not. In other words, people are not controlled by truth – they’re controlled by what we believe to be true! Language shapes culture. Words influence thinking, thinking forms beliefs, beliefs create actions, and actions shape the culture. Pretty simple. 

Some have said that until you hear something over and over you never really grasp the concept of what you heard.  Rehearsing in your mind.  What you think, or believe becomes a part of you.  That is why the “mocking bird media” is so effective.  It takes a strong person to not believe what a vast majority of people may be saying repeatedly.  Some have even suggested that the Viet Nam war was ok in the minds of Americans, until Walter Cronkite began to speak out against it.  Interesting, but he was a trusted news source. Unfortunately the media makes it seem there is consensus, when there really isn’t.  There is only one truth.  The Word of God

  • Murder is bad; call it “abortion.” 
  • Riots are bad; call them “mostly peaceful” protests. 
  • Reverse racism is bad; call it “DEI – Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion”. 
  • Taking people’s hard-earned money is bad; call it “democratic socialism.” 
  • Defunding the police is bad (and stupid); call it “reallocating funds.”

The Scriptures confirm this. Consider the verse from Proverbs 23:7, which tells us that “as a person thinks within himself, so is he.” Some translations say that as a person thinks in his “heart,” so is he. The Hebrew word is nephesh, the word for “soul” – the mind, emotions, and will. As your soul thinks, so are you.  Opening our mind to dwell on the wrong ideas is a dangerous game to play.  Once that thought gets inside our mind, it can be difficult to turn away from it.  

Don’t misunderstand, I am not talking about positive thinking, but truly accepting that there is truth and it is the Word of God.  Thinking and putting Biblical principles in our mind makes a difference. (see scriptures below)

  2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down arguments (thoughts) and every high thing (prideful; do our own thing) that exalts itself against the knowledge God for pulling down strongholds (thoughts become strongholds) they shape us and give us a habit that can destroy us.  Or at best we become double minded unable to discern good from evil.   

Romans 12:2 transformed by the renewing of our mind

Ephesians 4:23-24  be renewed in the spirit of your mind

  • That marriage doesn’t have to be between a man and woman; all that matters is love.
  • That marriage isn’t really necessary at all; just live together until the excitement ends, then find another mate. 
  • That children are a nuisance, an inconvenience, and unnecessary interruptions in one’s career.
  • That sin and Satan are fun, while God and righteousness are boring. 
  • That absolute truth doesn’t exist; all is relative and to be determined by ever-changing standards. And many more lies.

Educators in America have indoctrinated and poisoned the minds of a generation that there is no God. If there is no God or Creator, then there is no purpose, destiny, or design; all is by accident and happenstance. This allows one to believe their body is a mistake: they have the body of a male, when they’re actually a female trapped in the wrong body. Or vice versa. The answer? Go to work changing it: take pills to kill the male parts. Better yet, cut them off.

Don’t believe the lie.  Going against God’s order will only cause chaos and destruction for ourselves and our nation.  God bring back Godly values and a great move of the Holy Spirit to transform our nation before we go off the proverbial cliff.  

Trump & Qatar; What Could Go Wrong

Doha Strike: Israel Calls Out Qatar’s Hypocrisy, America Faces a Dividing Line

By Tania Curado Koenig – Koenig’s Eye View

Israel has crossed a new threshold: striking senior Hamas officials inside Doha, Qatar. Reports indicate Khalil al-Hayya’s entourage was targeted; Hamas confirms at least five dead, including his son, though top leaders survived. Doha condemned the strike as a violation of sovereignty.

But the truth is larger: Qatar has played both sides for years. On one hand, it styled itself as a “mediator” for peace; on the other, it bankrolled Hamas with billions of dollars, money that built the tunnels used to slaughter Israelis on October 7th. To pretend neutrality while financing jihad is the very definition of hypocrisy. Israel’s strike exposed that duplicity in front of the world.

Trump’s Circle: A 180-Degree Divide

Here is what most outlets will not say. Inside Trump’s camp, there is a split that runs 180 degrees. Some urge uncompromising clarity with Israel. Others have deep business and personal interests with Doha. That division explains the mixed signals now emerging around this strike.

At the center is Steve Witkoff. He is not just a mediator. He is a real estate developer whose empire was under major financial strain. And as it has been reported, Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund, the Qatar Investment Authority, purchased Witkoff and partners Park Lane Hotel in August 2023 for approximately $623 million that was near bankruptcy. That fact shadows his role. When a man whose finances were rescued by Doha now sits at the center of U.S. messaging to Qatar, it is legitimate to ask: whose interests come first?

This is not rumor; it is history. And it matters now because what is at stake is not just real estate, but whether America speaks with moral clarity or hedges its stance to protect business ties.

Israel’s Message: Mediation Cannot Mean Sanctuary

By striking Hamas leaders in Doha, Israel declared that mediation cannot be cover for sanctuary. The Middle East understands strength, not double games. For years, Doha’s open-door to Hamas gave it leverage. Israel just tore away that shield.

America’s Covenant Test

The question now is not just what Israel will do. It is what America will do. Will Trump stand without hesitation for Israel, or will the voices in his circle tied to Qatari interests prevail?

Genesis 12:3 is not suspended: “I will bless those who bless you, and him who curses you I will curse.” Nations and leaders rise or fall on that covenant word. If America blinks, if Trump turns his back at this decisive moment, the blessing attached to defending Israel will lift. That is not rhetoric; that is covenant.

The Bottom Line

– Qatar is exposed: financing Hamas while pretending to mediate.

– Trump’s camp is divided: 180 degrees apart, with some entangled in Qatari money.

– Israel is clear: no sanctuary for terror, even in Doha.

– The covenant still stands: Bless Israel and live under blessing; betray her and step into loss.

This strike is more than a military operation. It is a dividing line.

So here we are: Qatar weeps about sovereignty while counting the billions it poured into Hamas tunnels — and Washington debates whether real estate rescues and the beautiful $400 million airplane Trump received from the Qataris should shape U.S. policy. The covenant stands. Doha cries foul. Hamas cries martyrdom. The UN cries violation. Meanwhile, tunnels get built, hostages rot, and leaders in the West pretend it’s complicated. It isn’t. Bless Israel and live under blessing. Play games with Qatar — and see how that works out.

Moral Values

Righteousness exalts a nation, 

But sin is a disgrace to any people. Proverbs 14:3

The founding of America was based on Judeo-Christian values.  Morality, acknowledgment of an Almighty God.  Our founders thought morally, with a Biblical worldview.  Edmund Burke (1729-1797) put the matter well in his famous statement: ”All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”  Most Christians understand that America is in a serious state of moral, social, cultural, and especially political decline.  This implies that America has fallen from a better situation to a worse situation.  As Christians we recognize a connection between a country’s religious faith and its adherence to the Word of God.  We have fallen because we have turned our back as a nation from Almighty God to a god of our own making. Let me share a warning before I go further, “The wicked will return to Sheol; Even all the nations who forget God” (Psalms 9:17).

Previously I stated we have made our own gods, (small g) which are not gods at all but we place them just as Israel did, before our worship and recognition of the Lord.  We have chosen the god of self.  We do as we please, following “our heart”, except the Bible says our “heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9.  We worship the god of prosperity and pride.  We worship the god of pleasure, if it feels good we do it.  Morality is not an absolute, but just merely a suggestion on how to live.  Today we aren’t even sure if the Bible is true, or If it even matters since many don’t believe in the Lord, except the one that gives them freedom to live as they wish.

Climate change is also a religion that puts the creation above the creator.  Mankind destroying the environment is not settled fact, however we must tax and buy carbon credits (penance) to escape our doom.  I could go on forever.  Let’s not forget evolution, a baby is a fetus etc.  

We can look back on our history and realize that we have been greatly influenced by our Christian faith.  We have never officially been a Christian Republic, but those roots run deep in our past prosperity.  Unfortunately, our national situation is much different today.  Barack Obama (while Senator and later as President) has repeatedly sought to distance America from its Christian heritage.  In 2006, he stated that “whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation.”  In 2007 in Turkey of all places, he stated ”we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation.”  This might be the only statement BHO ever said that I could agree with, sadly.

We are in trouble until we accept the truth that we have sinned and turned our back on Jesus Christ.  Repentance and a turning away from sin is mandatory to renew morality in America.  God be merciful to us.

Trump’s Cabinet Meeting (Wed.)

DJT – Irish Tao spoke of her gratitude for the attempts to make D.C. safe, she told a story of a man who wanted her valuables, then pistol whipped her across the face when she refused.  Crime is down because of the President. Just prove we can stop crime with peaceful enforcement.  Let’s get it done in other cities.

Sec. Kennedy spoke on key HHS reforms, including

  • Lower drug prices thru (most favored nation) strategy
  • Require medical schools to teach nutrition 

 Tulsi Gabbard DNI spoke of the ongoing revelations of intelligence corruption

  • Need for transparency
  • Finding and exposing truth
  • Recovered burn bags on 2020 election theft
  • Collecting evidence now, will be released soon.  
  • Brennan and Clapper specifically mentioned

The VP 

  • spoke of progress at how far the US has come since taking over from the previous administration.
  • Job growth to American citizens
  • Housing doubled under Biden, cost coming down now
  • Live safe and comfortable Is a priority

Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent

  • Record tariff revenues between $500 billion & $1trillion
  • Budget deficit down 26% from last year
  • 4 trillion: 3.3 trillion of tariff income,700 billion lower interest cost, expect number to go up

(IMO) Brief bullet point synopsis of Trump’s cabinet meeting.  Things are looking up but lots more to do.  Still very concerned with spending, congress and DJT MUST get control over the budget.  My thought would be to freeze spending now, and look for cuts of 10% next year.  Some say it can’t be done, well look at what we saw DOGE do with just wasteful spending.  And there is much more out there.

Next up (IMO) Congress must enact and codify Trump’s executive orders and make sure his program goes forward!  Thune do you and Speaker Johnson hear me.  Let’s start calling both immediately and express our dismay at their lethargic attitude.  It is downright obstruction.  Call them! It is vitally important to ”make hay while the sun shines.”  Old Farmer  Proverb.  LOL  Rh.
