Trumpet Hour

[00:20]Joe Biden Drops Out of Presidential Race Two weeks after saying only the Lord Almighty could convince him to drop out of the United States presidential election, Joe Biden has quit the race. Newsweek reported that Biden was irritated with Barack Obama for talking to Democratic Party leaders behind his back in an attempt to force him to step aside. Yet Obama's meddling seems to have worked.America Under Attack[18:15]‘The Abraham Alliance'In an address to the United States Congress on Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced he would like to form a NATO-like alliance with nations in the Middle East. Will he be able to put his trust in these countries?

[00:23]God Decides Who Survives Assassination AttemptsDonald Trump was almost assassinated last Saturday night at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. The Secret Service wasn't protecting him, but God was. U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon also dismissed Special Counsel Jack Smith's criminal trial against Trump this week.“Ready for War”“God Isn't Finished With Trump”“Why Is God Protecting Donald Trump?”America Under Attack [22:00]Europe Fears Trump's VP J.D.

[44:07]Russia Is Building a New Space-Based Nuclear WeaponXi Jingping may have had a stroke this past week, which raises the question, What would happen if he wasn't around anymore? And Russia threatened the world with nuclear war again; it announced it is developing a new space-based nuclear weapon with indiscriminate destruction capabilities. Isaiah's End-Time Vision [50:14]Bad News for NetanyahuThe Houthis conducted a drone attack today on Tel Aviv, Israel. Meanwhile, Israel is finally drafting Orthodox Jews into the military, which spells bad news for Netanyahu.

[04:57]Iran's New President Is Less Important Than He SeemsMasoud Pezeshkian has replaced Ebrahiam Raisi as Iran's president. The media are hailing him as a moderate and fresh start for Iran—when really he's more of the same. The King of the South [18:18]Will Joe Biden Be Bushed Out?The House Oversight Committee subpoenaed three top White House aides to find out who is running America. It is obviously not Joe Biden, so more Democrats are calling for him to drop out as their presidential candidate. “Why the Trumpet Watches America's Retreat From Global Leadership” [31:19]Far Left Wins French ElectionsFrance is still struggling with instability after its recent election and a looming economic crisis. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of the New Popular Front alliance, is pushing to become France's next prime minister, but his radical policies don't make him a good choice for President Emmanuel Macron.

Artificial intelligence is taking the world by storm—from ChatGPT to health-care applications to autonomous vehicles. AI is also changing the nature of weaponry and warfare, and it could factor into the fulfillment of some important end-time prophecies.

Fake news is not the only aspect of modern life that is fake. We look at evidence of deceit affecting politics, education, social media, food production and other arenas. Artificial intelligence is making it easier to cheat. What are some reasons for the increase in fakery? Climate activists say real meat hurts the environment, so food scientists are creating plant-based meat, and now, lab-grown meat. Is this fake food healthy? Canada's military is in crisis. Obsolete equipment, low recruitment and retention, low morale, poor leadership, and loss of identity and culture are all debilitating the forces. Fighting capability has taken second place to “woke” priorities like transgender awareness and battling climate change.

The James Webb Space Telescope is en route to its place in the heavens a million miles from Earth. This is the most impressive effort ever made to understand the cosmos and learn the secrets of the universe and its Creator. NASA administrator Bill Nelson quoted Psalm 19: “The heavens declare the glory of God.” For centuries, scientists have studied creation to learn more about God. They viewed the natural world as evidence of the Creator, and the more we learn about it, the more we learn about God. Scientists study and follow precisely the laws that govern the physical world, whether or not they realize that this points back to the great Lawgiver. But more and more of them are acknowledging that scientific evidence does prove the existence of a great Designer and Creator. Today we look at how the heavens declare the glory of God.

America Under Attack

The radicalization of public-school curricula is affecting more and more children in America and many other nations. Educators are teaching the next generation leftist views that depict America as hate-filled and oppressive against people of color, and American history as genocidal. They are exalting wealth redistribution and socialism while condemning free markets. They are encouraging students to become environmental activists. They are teaching radical views about sexuality, normalizing transgenderism, gender fluidity and sexual experimentation. These educators realize that implanting these concepts into young minds is an extraordinarily potent means of reshaping society. We have a God-given responsibility as parents to serve as our children's educators. We must counteract these trends in education by teaching our children truth, and morality, and history.

Science and education almost universally teach that there is no Creator. Man and the material world and universe simply came about by blind, arbitrary natural forces. On today's program, we explore where such thinking leads us as a society. Without God, man is free to devise his own governments, his own social structures, his own ideas of right and wrong—his own morality. He is also free to follow the whims of his own imagination—to dream up his own utopia—and to do whatever he deems necessary to fellow man, however horrifying, to implement that dream. We look at philosophy and history, as well as the Bible and current events, to evaluate the outcomes and dangers of evolutionary thinking.

[1:27]What's Wrong With Our UniversitiesAmerica's colleges and universities are increasingly becoming incubators of leftism. Students are being taught about the universality of white supremacy, racial injustice and other radical ideas. The fruits of this indoctrination are being exposed as terribly destructive. We look at several recent examples of students demanding curriculum changes to amplify racial grievances and erase whiteness. We look closely at events on The Evergreen State College, where students took over the campus and turned it into an asylum run by the inmates.

Today's show is about slavery. It isn't just an abominable relic of the past—it is a reality of today's world. It is a scourge worth thinking about—because it affects millions of people in almost every country on Earth. The painful reality is that you might personally be contributing to the problem! You have to understand why it happens—where the demand is that these slave traffickers are supplying. You also need to know what God thinks about it—and develop His compassion for those suffering in slavery, and His anger toward those who perpetrate it. We'll also talk about ways that we ourselves can be held captive in slavery. Millions of people are captive to addictions—to drugs, alcohol, nicotine, food, gambling, pornography and other destructive habits. You may be captive in ways you do not recognize.

The James Webb Space Telescope is just starting scientific operations, and it is already revealing startling truths that are undermining science's best guesses about the origins of the universe. For decades, America has been the primary guarantor of global security, which has brought prosperity to millions. This is changing now as China grows more belligerent in the South China Sea and beyond, threatening trade routes and shifting to a new era. Canada's government is prioritizing environmental concerns over feeding its people: It just announced its intent to force farmers to drastically cut nitrogen fertilizers and hence food production, following the same path that is hurting the Netherlands.

Today we're going to look at an important episode in history, when the survival of Western civilization was under threat. In the summer of 1940, Germany was preparing to invade Britain by attacking Britain's shipping capacity, pulverizing its coastal towns, crippling its Air Force, and demoralizing the British people. But the people of Britain would not be cowed. Led by Winston Churchill, they threw their hearts into the war effort and endured a punishing blitz on their capital city, London. And about a thousand of their young men flew in the Fighter Command of the Royal Air Force—and courageously, miraculously repelled the German Luftwaffe. We'll take some personal lessons from this inspiring history—about which Churchill said, “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.” Links The Former Prophets Malachi's Message to God's Church Today

A recent poll shows that younger generations of Americans have less patriotism than their elders. Half of Americans age 14 to 37 believe the United States is sexist and racist—nearly half say that “America is more racist than other countries.” One in 5 Millennials believes the American flag is “a sign of intolerance and hatred.” What happens when a people has such a toxic view of itself? One episode of America's history when it had pride in its power was its relationship with the Philippines. We'll hear a report by staff member Gino Chi showing the benefits the Filipinos received from that relationship. Hard work is necessary for success in many different aspects of life, and good work habits can unlock hidden power to build a healthy life!

Today we talk about TRUE FREEDOM. It's common today to think that freedom means being able to do whatever you want without consequences. But that is a false and very destructive idea that actually leads many, many people into slavery. God's view of freedom is very different, and is illustrated by the biblical history of His freeing the ancient nation of Israel from slavery in Egypt. He used miracles to break them free from bondage, and then gave them His law, called “the perfect law of liberty.” We talk about how you can identify the areas in your life that bring you into bondage, and the radical action that may be required to break free of that bondage. We also review the Bible's practical advice for remaining permanently free. And finally, a Last Word about why Scripture portrays Jesus Christ as a lamb.

We're going to have a conversation with seven volunteers who just spent three months working in Jerusalem participating in an archaeological dig right next to the Temple Mount, under the direction of Dr. Eilat Mazar. We'll discuss what it was like to become personally acquainted with some of the most fascinating history of the Holy City, what day-to-day life was like working as archaeologists and students in Jerusalem, lessons they learned, and miracles they witnessed.

We'll talk to a man who says no, that's exactly the wrong lesson to take from that history. North Korea is one nation putting nuclear proliferation into the headlines. What would it be like to experience a nuclear attack? We'll study some firsthand accounts of the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to give us an idea. And I'll finish off the program with a poem from one of our listeners on the trials of maintaining good posture.
