Send us a messageFrom a deep study of the Book of Revelation, under the tutorship of the Holy Spirit, we learn that Chapter 17 focuses on the spiritual and ideological corruption of Babylon upon the world, and is depicted as a “Harlot” who rides the Beast.  This adulterous prostitute is comprised of every false religion known to man with Rome being the ruling power that crowns its blasphemies and unfaithfulness against God's unadulterated Word of Truth.Revelation 18 focuses on the world's materialistic, economic, and political greed held with the hearts of the world leaders who – although they may now not know it – are being used to set up the Global Empire of the Antichrist.Understanding these two components of Babylon – and the demonic spirit that is operating within them – is very  important in order for true Believers in Jesus Christ  to fully take hold of the Holy Spirit's discernment in readiness – especially now in this Last Prophetic Hour. Having this knowledge will help to  equip us in recognizing and resisting the global systems of deception and control that are growing more pervasive with each minute, and leading the multitudes into the Antichrist's deception. Most importantly, it will stir us to be more alert and intentioned to shine the Light of God's Salvation Truth to those still captivated in sin's darkness while there is yet time. For Jesus comes quickly! And the door to His Dispensation of Grace is soon to close!Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/

Danna Balas looked at the frozen yogurt market and saw something most founders miss — customers do not just want a product, they want an experience they control. Armed with Israeli resourcefulness and a refusal to accept slow growth, she built Menchie's into a global franchise by doing something deceptively simple. She handed every customer a cup and said build exactly what you want. That freedom became the brand. This conversation covers how she scaled fast, what almost stopped her and what any entrepreneur can learn from the founder who turned creative freedom into a worldwide sensation. _______________________________________________⭐ LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW— it's the only way new listeners find this show.

Send us a messageAs Prophetic Precursors continue to converge with “Be Ready” urgency, in Part 2 of “A Call To Awaken,” I share some vital information regarding AI that was offered by Yuval Noah Harari at the 2026 WEF meeting in Davos, Switzerland.Although he almost certainly is not fully aware of the prophetic significance, the information he shares most definitely points to the prophetic indicators that are held in the realm of AI's beyond imagination capabilities, and how by way of its technology components, it is building the framework for the Global Empire of the Antichrist.Not only will AI control surveillance of all people on earth, including what they can buy or sell, but it is also in the process of creating its own Bible and its own “digital god” which of course will be a technical manifestation of Satan himself.With all of this empowering the Antichrist in his global deception and control.

Send us a messageWhile there are many signs unfolding before us that confirm the nearness of the last things on God's Prophetic Calendar, in Parts 1 & 2 of “Soon & Very Soon,” we have been delving into the striking advancements in Technology. In Part 3, we'll give an overview of  what we have covered so far while adding some additional information. Because of all the signs that are literally exploding all around us – Technology is perhaps the most significant – because it will provide the gearwork that makes it possible for all the other components of the Beast'sGlobal control to become a reality.Then, God Willing, we will move on to some of the other pertinent signs that are impacting the Religious, Governmental, and Economic arms of the Antichrist's Global Empire.Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/

Send us a messageWe know by the Prophetic word of Truth that the Global Empire of the Antichrist will be comprised of a “One World Religion,” One World Government” and a “One World Economic System.”And as this Global Empire is being constructed, its heartbeat is being echoed from within the “One World Religion” which will work in conjunction with the Antichrist's Governmental and Economic efforts – as this adulterous Harlot rides the Beast during the Tribulation.Many have wondered how so many different religions could come together in agreement when their beliefs are so varied. But through A.I. which we have addressed in other messages, a Virtual Christ will make this unity viable.Additionally, when you take two of the major Religions of the world – namely Roman Catholicism and Islam, and bring them together, you will have the power house which will draw in every other false way as well – bringing all religions into a false unity that has been woven with the thread of beguilement and deception.Which brings us to the important study of  “CHRISLAM.”  Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/

Cristiano Ronaldo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Cristiano Ronaldo once again grabbed headlines as he delivered a dramatic brace for Al-Nassr against Al Fayha in Riyadh on Saturday, helping his club retain the top spot in the Saudi Pro League table and maintain their unbeaten run in the 2025-26 season. The match seemed headed for disappointment after Al Fayha scored early, but Ronaldo clinically netted the equalizer in the 37th minute and sealed victory with a cool penalty deep into added time. The spectacle continued after the final whistle when the Portuguese legend treated fans to a joyful Ardah dance right on the pitch, a moment widely shared across social media platforms and featured by the official Saudi Pro League and sports sites globally.With these two goals, Ronaldo's professional tally soared to an astonishing 952, a number unmatched by any player in football history. Just last week, he had reached the unprecedented milestone of 950 goals – setting records not only as Al-Nassr's icon but also as the highest scorer in FIFA World Cup qualifiers. His next ambition, announced in multiple media interviews, is to crack the mythical 1,000-goal mark before ending his career.On the business front, Bloomberg and other financial outlets are reporting Ronaldo's net worth at a staggering 1.4 billion dollars, officially making him football's first billionaire according to the latest Bloomberg Billionaires Index. His Saudi contract now reportedly exceeds 400 million dollars a year, complemented by a portfolio of high-profile endorsements ranging from Nike's lifetime deal to multimillion-dollar partnerships with Armani, TAG Heuer, Binance, and Herbalife. Posts from his Instagram, which boasts over 600 million followers, are estimated to earn him 2 million dollars each, cementing his place as the highest-paid athlete online.The CR7 brand, visible across luxury clothing, fragrances, gyms, hotels, and various investment ventures, continues to expand. Digital sleuths have picked up rumors — still unconfirmed — of new CR7 fitness locations and possible additional Pestana CR7 hotels coming soon. Family life also remains a focus on social channels, with Georgina Rodriguez featured in joint lifestyle posts and international gossip columns crowning them a billion-dollar power couple, balancing football stardom and business savvy.Looking toward 2026, Ronaldo is set to captain Portugal in the FIFA World Cup's expanded edition across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada — arguably one last campaign to add another highlight to his storied career. On social media, fan accounts buzz daily with praise and speculation, from his goal chase and luxurious travels to his next entrepreneurial steps or possible involvement in football ownership and sports documentaries. For now, Ronaldo's continued ability to produce game-winning moments and remain culturally relevant only reinforces his legacy as a footballer and global icon.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Alina Roytberg and Lev Glazman, co-founders of Fresh, built one of the first modern skincare brands rooted in natural ingredients, sensorial experience, and emotional connection—long before “clean beauty” became a trend. In this episode, they share how they turned a personal frustration with conventional products into a business that caught the attention of Barneys, Sephora, and eventually LVMH. We talk about the $10,000 gamble that launched their first store, the soap that flew off shelves without any marketing, and the costly mistake of chasing too many opportunities at once. They also open up about what it was really like being acquired by a luxury giant, maintaining creative control, and why clarity, discipline, and customer trust are still their guiding principles. This is a conversation about growth with intention, learning through missteps, and staying connected to the original spark that started it all. While our last episode officially wrapped Season 5, we couldn't resist sharing this bonus conversation before we take a short break. We'll be back next season—one more story of risk, resilience, and the long game of building something meaningful. Key Takeaways and Topics: The emotional and sensory philosophy behind Fresh's product development Why their soaps sold out at Barneys within days—and what they did next The failed attempt to launch a subbrand (Index) at Bergdorf and the costly lesson in diluted focus Building a brand through education and storytelling—before the internet The early days of clean beauty and why they focused on what's in the product How LVMH acquired Fresh while allowing the founders to retain autonomy and creative control Navigating acquisition and learning how to lead within a global conglomerate   The Failure Factor Podcast was brought to you by Off The Field Coaching.

The Biblical Case for Nationalism Against Global Empire | Crosspolitic Israeli political theorist Yoram Hazony makes the biblical case that nationalism is actually God's design for human flourishing. Drawing from Moses, the Hebrew prophets, and centuries of Protestant political thought, Hazony explains why independent nations with defined borders represent God's alternative to both tribal chaos and imperial tyranny. We dive deep into how the Old Testament laid the foundation for the Anglo-American tradition, why "neutral" public education was always a myth, and how conservative states can lead America back to biblical governance. If you've been told that loving your country makes you dangerous, this conversation will equip you with the scriptural and historical truth.

Joshua K. Wright, The NBA's Global Empire: How the League Became an International Powerhouse (McFarland, 2025)  During the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, the Dream Team, a collective of the National Basketball Association's top talent led by Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and Charles Barkley, shook up the world as they amazed spectators and opponents on their way to winning gold. Their success introduced the world to the NBA's charismatic superstars and their artistic brand of basketball. Over the next two decades, youth outside of America dreamed of becoming the next Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James. The NBA took advantage of its popularity in China by forming lucrative television and streaming deals and opening training academies. By the 2022-23 NBA season, there were 109 international players from 39 countries, a Canadian franchise, and a league in Africa. Today's best players are Africans, Canadians and Europeans like Nikola Jokic and Victor Wembanyama. This book presents the history of the NBA's ascension to a billion-dollar global empire, analyzing the globalization of American sports since the end of the Cold War and the dawn of the millennium. How essential is globalization for the NBA to thrive in the 21st century? Do the benefits outweigh the geopolitical controversies associated with being a global brand? Is globalization responsible for a decline in American-born NBA players and declining domestic popularity? These questions and others are answered in this first treatment of the NBA's global reach. Paul Knepper covered the New York Knicks for Bleacher Report. His first book was The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks and the Brawlers That Almost Won It All. His next book, Moses Malone: The Life of a Basketball Prophet, will be out in the fall of 2025. You can reach Paul at paulknepper@gmail.com and follow him on Twitter @paulieknep.

This week on Black in Sports, we're diving deep into the cultural crossroads of sports, hip-hop, and history with none other than Dr. Joshua K. Wright, a three-time author, historian, professor, and proud Howard University alum. Known for his sharp takes and masterful storytelling, Dr. Wright brings an intellectual edge to conversations that often stay surface-level — but not here.From his powerful written works to his thoughtful breakdowns of modern-day moguls and sports empires, Dr. Wright is a voice you need to hear.In this episode, we cover it all:

Send us a messageAs the Prophetic Word of God reaches a crescendo in this last hour in the earth, the Holy Spirit is about a Sacred work of Separation: Truth from falsehood – the Genuine from the counterfeit – and the Wheat from the tares. And as the Global Empire of the Antichrist pushes forward to its last stages of completion, the “One World Religion” is leading the charge, with Roman Catholicism playing a vital role as it draws every other false way into its ecumenical web of deception. In this video series, we uncover the roots of this Babylonian counterfeit to genuine Christianity with the desperate plea to “Come Out of Her!” while there is still time to do so. The Holy Spirit will show the way to the One Who alone is the WAY, and the TRUTH, and the LIFE – Yeshua Hamashiach – Jesus the true Messiah!Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/

Years before Jamestown planters made New World farming profitable by growing tobacco, and years before their countrymen up north in Plymouth Colony managed to overcome their starvation conditions and acclimate to New England’s growing conditions, there was an English settlement in Bermuda that was wealthier, larger, and more prosperous. It was established in 1612 on an island less than one square mile but grew to the heart of the Atlantic economy. Bermuda, once home to more settlers than Virginia or Massachusetts, became England’s first profitable plantation, pioneering tobacco cultivation and the use of enslaved Africans—practices that later spread to the mainland. In this episode, historian and archaeologist Michael Jarvis joins us to uncover the hidden history of Bermuda and its pivotal role in reshaping our understanding of colonial America. Jarvis, dubbed "Chainsaw Mike" by his students, has spent 14 years excavating Smith’s Island, clearing away endless brush, and unearthing one of the first English settlements in the New World. From supplying Jamestown with food to influencing early colonial economics, Jarvis argues Bermuda is a missing cornerstone of America’s origin story, far more than the historical footnote it’s often been relegated to.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a messageWith “Wars & Rumors of Wars” – especially as it concerns Israel – taking place in real time – along with the many other prophetic precursors that are unfolding all around us – it becomes more evident with each new day that we are surely living in the last minutes of the Last Hour.And as these prophetic precursors converge with dramatic “Be Ready” urgency the formation of the Global Empire of the Antichrist is moving full steam ahead – and being readied for the Man of Lawlessness – or Antichrist as he has become known - to enter earth's scene at just the right time to present himself as the one who will set things straight and provide the peace and security the world has been longing for.Enter the “Great Reset” which is another name for the “New World Order” that is being built on the foundation of Lucifer's lies and deceptions – and setting the stage for the last seven years of the Tribulation Period which will be launched after the Rapture of God's True Church and at the moment the Antichrist signs a false Peace Treaty with Israel.In this Podcast message, we address these prophetic certainties with the call to “Be Ready!”Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/

Taking your shoes off before you enter a home is a thoughtful gesture and something many people have done for a long time. And it really is good idea. Why? Listen as I explain what people track in on the bottom of their shoes besides dirt. It's really pretty disgusting. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2019/07/03/my-shoes-dirty-studies-suggest-theyre-covered-fecal-bacteria/1637780001/ Whether you like Amazon or not, you have to admire the incredible success that company has achieved with Jeff Bezos at the helm. How did Amazon get to be such a giant company so fast? You see their trucks everywhere, many of us send or receive products and do a lot of shopping on Amazon. Beyond that there is Alexa, Kindle, Whole Foods, and much more to Amazon. Is Jeff Bezos just a genius? Why didn't someone else think of this before or at least try to compete better? Someone who understands Amazon well is Brad Stone, senior executive editor for global technology at Bloomberg News and the author of Amazon Unbound: Jeff Bezos and the Invention of a Global Empire (https://amzn.to/3hxau9u). Listen as he takes us inside the workings at Amazon and explains how Jeff Bezos did what he did – the good and bad.  Speaking and listening. You do those two things more than any others all day long. Yet, you were probably never taught how to speak or how to listen – at least not in any formal way. However, the better you are at these skills, the more interesting people will think you are and the more effective you will be in life according to my guest Julian Treasure. He is a leading expert in communication and sound and is author of the book How to be Heard: Secrets for Powerful Speaking and Listening (https://amzn.to/3hEMyBk). Listen as he explains the science of how we talk and listen and how all of us can improve our skills to be more effective communicators in any situation.
