Kate Adie presents stories from Gaza and Israel, the US, Lesotho, Taiwan and Peru.This week the British government pledged to recognise a Palestinian state, unless Israel meets certain conditions, including agreeing to a ceasefire in Gaza and reviving the prospect of a two-state solution. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the decision rewarded 'Hamas's monstrous terrorism.' Jeremy Bowen reflects on this latest chapter in Britain's long-standing influence in the region.At the UN, Saudi Arabia and France co-hosted a summit to rekindle plans for a two-state solution as a means to find peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Dozens of countries were in attendance - others were notable for their absence. Tom Bateman reports from New York.Donald Trump once claimed Lesotho was a country ‘nobody has heard of' – but it has been feeling the pinch of his trade policy. While the White House rowed back on its threat of imposing 50 per cent tariffs, the uncertainty has already led to many job losses, finds Shingai Nyoka.Taiwan's president William Lai suffered a major setback last weekend, in a recall vote that had been aimed at removing twenty-four opposition lawmakers - yet failed to unseat any of them. James Crabtree reflects on how Taiwan's characteristically flamboyant campaigning style was markedly absent in this latest vote.And finally, many of our staple foods are at risk because of increasingly frequent extreme weather - including the humble potato. But some farmers are tracing the crop's ancient roots in search of solutions to help mitigate the risks, as Beth Timmins has been finding out in the Peruvian Andes.Series Producer: Serena Tarling Production Coordinators: Sophie Hill & Katie Morrison Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith
Friday Focus provides listeners with a focused, half-hour masterclass on the big issues, events and trends driving the news and current events. The show features Janice Gross Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and bestselling author, in conversation with Rudyard Griffiths, Chair and moderator of the Munk Debates. Rudyard and Janice start today's show with Trump's late night tariff announcement which sets a 35% tariff on Canada, but only really affects 10% of goods that fall outside of CUSMA. The punishing tariffs on aluminum, steel, and the auto industry, however, remain. Why did Mark Carney not try to strike a deal before today's deadline? What will happen if CUSMA protections are removed in a future deal? And how should Canada prioritize its sovereignty and self-respect in negotiations that give us privileged access to the US market? In the second half of the show Rudyard and Janice talk about Canada's announcement that it will join France and the UK in recognizing Palestinian statehood at the UN in September. While it is understandable that western governments want to do something to stop the carnage in Gaza and bring an end to this war, this type of political statement emboldens Hamas and makes the conflict more intractable and less solvable. In the midst of this turmoil, however, came a surprising announcement from surrounding Arab countries: the governments of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Turkey, and several others called on Hamas to disarm and end its rule over the war torn strip. Is this the start of the end for the terrorist group's reign in Gaza?

Israel's war on Gaza has led to mass starvation, with over 85 children confirmed dead from hunger and hundreds more killed while waiting for food. In this essay, journalist Paul Jay argues that defending such atrocities in the name of Jewish survival is itself a form of anti-Semitism—one that aligns Jewish identity with brutality. He exposes how starvation is being used as a deliberate weapon of war, backed by U.S. military aid, sanitized by Western media, and tolerated by global powers, including Saudi Arabia. This is not a humanitarian crisis. It's a state policy—designed, funded, and enforced.

In this episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold breaks down a flurry of headlines and digs into the deeper messaging behind them. He questions the optics surrounding Russia's alleged strike on a Ukrainian nuclear plant and examines Jerome Powell's latest comments suggesting a possible rate cut, despite inflation remaining high. Jon explores the implications of this shift and how it might tie into broader economic manipulation. He also touches on Ghislaine Maxwell's proposal to testify before Congress in exchange for clemency and highlights a mainstream media piece accusing the FBI of poor public relations, raising questions about institutional trust and coordinated messaging. Other topics include Saudi Arabia's defense realignment, the Biden admin's climate messaging, and the curious silence around apparent White House renovations. Herold ties it all together with sharp analysis and a call to question the surface-level stories being pushed by legacy media.
Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Political reporter Tal Schneider and diplomatic reporter Nava Freiberg join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced on Tuesday that the UK would recognize a Palestinian state in September unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the war and humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, and meets several other conditions, including recommitting to a viable peace process. This is happening while, for the past several days, high-level representatives at a UN conference have urged Israel to commit to a Palestinian state. We discuss fallout to Starmer's announcement, the “New York Declaration” and which other states may follow suit in potentially recognizing Palestine this fall. In his announcement, Starmer said that Israel could forestall the recognition by reaching a ceasefire in Gaza, making clear that it will not annex the West Bank (or Gaza), and committing to a peace process that results in a two-state solution. This comes as there are increased rumors of plans to annex parts of the Gaza Strip. But are these rumors just a negotiation tactic? Schneider weighs in. At the NY two-state solution conference this week, Arab and Muslim countries, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan and Turkey, signed a declaration condemning for the first time Hamas’s onslaught of October 7, 2023, and calling on the Palestinian terror group to release all the hostages it is holding, disarm and end its rule of Gaza, in a bid to end the devastating war in the Strip. Schneider and Freiberg explain that all may not be as laudable it seems. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

The Prime Minister Keir Starmer has said Britain could recognise a Palestinian state as early as September, but only if Israel takes “substantive steps” to end the crisis in Gaza. He has made four specific demands of Israel: end the “appalling” situation in Gaza and allow 500 aid trucks in a day, reach a ceasefire, “make clear” there will be no annexation in the West Bank and commit to a long-term peace process that delivers a two-state solution. But Israel, the US and even hostage families argue that such a move “rewards Hamas” and “validates terrorism.”Camilla and Gordon examine whether Britain's recognition would carry real weight on the global stage and hear analysis from former Home Secretary Priti Patel who has accused the Labour Government of not playing a leading role in key negotiations to free the hostages, get aid into Gaza or advocate for a proper peace plan or process.Meanwhile, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Egypt have urged Hamas to disband to enable the creation of a Palestinian state. We ask The Telegraph's Jerusalem Correspondent Henry Bodkin how likely it is that Hamas will step aside as the humanitarian crisis worsens.

In this episode Ahmed shares the mind-blowing story of how he came to Christ from a very strict Muslim family background. He learnt the Quran by heart as a child, his father was a Mufti (a religious scholar) in Mecca, the birthplace of Islam. His tribe in Saudi Arabia is one of the most radical in their commitment to Islam and hatred of infidels, with several of them involved in the 9/11 attacks.But the prayers of some believers in New Zealand led to Ahmed having an amazing dream of Jesus, which changed everything. Years of rejection, ostricism and persecution followed his decision to follow Jesus, even bringing assassination attempts to prevent him attending church and sharing the good news. And yet he has persevered, refusing to give up on his Saviour and Lord.He now runs an online ministry into the Middle East, leading many Muslims to Christ and discipling countless others.Enjoy this incredible story, like a modern day version of the book of Acts!

VOV1 - Tại một hội nghị quốc tế cấp cao do Pháp và Saudi Arabia đồng chủ trì mới đây, Tổng Thư ký Liên Hợp Quốc Antonio Guterres cảnh báo cuộc xung đột Israel - Palestine đã đi tới “điểm đứt gãy,” đồng thời kêu gọi cộng đồng quốc tế hành động mạnh mẽ và thực chất để cứu vãn giải pháp hai nhà nước.
For review:1. Ceasefire Between Thailand & Cambodia. After efforts by Malaysia, the United States, and China to bring both sides to the table, the two countries' leaders agreed during talks in Putrajaya, Malaysia to end hostilities, resume direct communications and create a mechanism to implement the ceasefire.2. Dozens of ministers gathered at a United Nations conference on Monday to urge the international community to work toward a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians. The 193-member UN General Assembly decided in September last year that such a conference would be held in 2025. Hosted by France and Saudi Arabia, the conference was postponed in June due to the Israel-Iran war.3. IDF Assessment on Hezbollah Capabilities.In terms of firepower, Israel claims to have destroyed 70-80% of Hezbollah's rocket fire capabilities. The IDF has estimated that Hezbollah possesses several thousand rockets — the vast majority of them short-range projectiles like mortars, and only several hundred long-range ones.4. Turkey has secured a landmark defense export agreement with Indonesia, signing contracts for 48 5th Generation KAAN fighter aircraft. Deliveries of the 48 aircraft will be carried out over a 10-year period.5. Taiwan Receives Second Tranche of US M1 Main Battle Tanks.6. US Army cancels plan to develop the A3 Variant of the M88 Hercules Recovery Vehicle. Instead, the Army will pursue upgrades to the current A2 Variant. The A3 variant was designed to eliminate the need to use two (A2 Variant) vehicles to raise and move some of the newer and heavier M1 Tanks. 7. The House and Senate Armed Services Committees have sent the Pentagon guidance for how lawmakers want to see $150 billion in defense funding from the reconciliation bill spent.
The world says dividing Israel brings peace. God says it brings judgment. From the Vatican backing a Palestinian state, to Saudi Arabia drawing a red line, and UK leaders preparing a “when, not if” peace plan—the pressure to divide the Promised Land is reaching a fever pitch. But the Bible couldn't be more clear. Joel 3. Zechariah 12. Daniel 9. This isn't just politics. It's prophecy in motion. In today's episode of The Endtime Show, we break down how these headlines could point us to the covenant with many—and what it means for Israel, the Church, and the final 7 years. 📱: It's never been easier to understand.

From the mountains of Saudi Arabia to the ruins of Noah's Ark in Turkey, Joseph F. Dumond has spent over four decades uncovering prophetic patterns hidden in plain sight. His discoveries about the Jubilee cycles, the Red Heifer's coming sacrifice in 2026, and the shocking fulfillment of biblical prophecies in our headlines today… will shake you. Joseph F Dumond I was born in 1958 to an Anglican mother and a Catholic father. I was raised Catholic and married my high school sweetheart, Barbara, in 1978 after graduating in 1977 from Orangeville District Secondary School in Ontario, Canada.Barbara and I had our daughter in 1981, our son in 1982, and then later our third child—another son in 1990. We wanted to be good parents and began to attend the Catholic church weekly, but we learned very little about God at this time.In 1981, I first heard Herbert Armstrong teaching about the Sabbath on my car radio late one night on my way to work in Eastern Ontario. He was teaching about the ancestry of the French people, which I found very interesting as I worked on my family tree, but I was not able to write his contact information down while I drove.A few days later, I heard him again as I left from work and wrote in to request some material. That winter of 1981-82, I found myself studying the Bible unlike I had ever done in the past. I was desperately trying to prove wrong what he said about the Sabbath being Friday sunset to Saturday sunset. How could one billion Catholics be keeping the Sabbath on the wrong day?I worked seven days a week as a foreman, supervising natural gas pipeline workers. There was no way I could possibly take a day off to attend church on Saturday. But finally, after six months of solid day and night study, I could no longer discount just how clear Yehovah has always been on this matter and that we all should be keeping the Sabbath. I was forced to conclude the seventh day Saturday Sabbath had never changed, and that it was the Catholic Church that was to blame for changing the Saturday Sabbath to Sunday, so I began to attend the Worldwide Church of God (WCG) in April of 1982.About a month after my first visit, I learned about the Holy Days. Through those Holy Days—all of which are found in Leviticus 23—I was able to learn of Yehovah's divinely inspired plan for mankind and how it was all to come together. I attended the WCG from 1982-1994. Hebert Armstrong died in 1986 and the Church he left behind began to return to—and look more and more like—the Catholic Church. There were many splits during these years.I left the WCG after attending Sukkot in 1994. They were now serving communion which is what we did every Sunday in the Catholic faith. I began to study on my own from that week onward. Because my wife was not interested, I would leave the house each Saturday and drive to a deserted dead-end road and study there alone—and did so until 9/11 took place in 2001.The Sabbath after 9/11, I was attending the United Church of God (UCG) which was one of the many offshoots of the WCG. While there, I began to write just a few articles for the Good News Magazine and the monthly newspaper published by the UCG.In the winter of 2004-05, I heard about Michael Rood and Nehemia Gordon giving a teaching in Lansing, Michigan. I drove down and for the first time learned that God had a name, that the Hillel calendar I was currently following began in 358 C.E., and the original calendar used by Yehshua and the Apostles was the crescent moon to begin the month and the barley each spring to begin the year. Once again, I was being challenged in my beliefs. Once again, I began an intensive search to discover the truth.I was not sure which methodology was correct, so I decided to keep both and no one would know. The Holy Days would only be a couple days apart at the most. Then Nehemia announced the barley was Aviv and they would be keeping the Holy Days one month before those on the Hillel calendar. I decided to keep both calendars anyway, even though they would be 30 days apart. On Passover according to the barley, I discovered the proof scripture showing me absolutely which calendar was correct. It was when Yehshua said no man could know the day or the hour. Then on that same day through Qadesh La Yahweh Press, Yehovah showed me the Jubilee years, when they were, and how to prove them. They had written about 11 historical Sabbatical and Jubilee years.I was able to connect the curses of Leviticus 26 to these Jubilee cycles. I was then able to bridge the gap between the Old and New Testament chronologies because of the Jubilee cycles, one of which (the year they entered the Promised Land) I discovered when I did the Genesis chronology. This led me to know that the end of the 6th millennial day of mankind would be in 2044.This also led me to understand the prophecy of Daniel 9, which shows there are 70 Jubilee cycles from the Exodus—and it was not talking about Jesus. The middle of the 70th week, or 70th Jubilee cycle, was 2020. I began warning about 2020 starting in 2005. Then the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the entire world in 2020.In the WCG I had learned how the Holy Days of Leviticus 23 explained the plan of salvation, but it was not until I combined the Jubilee cycles with those Holy Days that it all came together.I had begun to talk to the brethren about all I was discovering and by August 2006 I was asked to leave the UCG. That same month I began our website, Sightedmoon.com. The internet was still new and growing fast. This is when we began to write a weekly newsletter and share all those things we were discovering about the Jubilee cycles and prophecy, which I had written up in short articles since Passover 2005.I never wanted to be someone who teaches religion. Never. But when I saw that no one else was speaking about the Sabbatical and Jubilee cycles and how they revealed end-time prophecy, I could no longer remain silent.In 2005, I took my first tour of Israel. In 2006, I mikveh'd (baptized) in the Gihon Spring and had hands laid on me. I have not been able to shut up since this time. Then in 2007, I went to Noah's Ark in eastern Turkey on the Iranian border to prove to myself if this was true and whether I could believe in the Bible. It was at this time that I also discovered I was in the Garden of Eden. After going to Israel and then Noah's Ark, I came away knowing the accuracy of the Bible. As of December 2024, I have been conducting my own tours of Israel, having now been there 25 times, as well as climbing Mount Sinai in Saudi Arabia in 2022 where I saw the Golden Calf Altar.I continued to explain my findings to people repeatedly through our website, or in various Bible study groups, but few understood. In 2008, a friend told me to publish my writings into a book so they all would be in one place.In 2009, I kept my first Sabbatical year and let our land rest, stocking up food the year before. I also published the Sabbatical and Jubilee Charts for the first time in 2009.Having never written a book before, I was able to publish my first book The Prophecies of Abraham in 2010. I was trying to explain everything I understood in one book. I felt the least qualified to teach or to write as my English communication skills were horrendous.I assumed everyone already knew all these things I was explaining and that I was just another person saying the same old things once again. To my amazement, they did not know these things, nor had they heard such teachings before. Those double checking what I was saying could not find fault.This book, along with the charts, compares various prophetic Jubilee cycles with our current 120th cycle. Luke speaks of the days of Noah and of Lot. This is only understood when you see each of their Jubilee cycles and compare it to our own. Then that scripture makes so much more sense. Then we discovered the seven years of plenty and the seven years of famine also confirmed what I was explaining.Many people could not understand how The Prophecies of Abraham demystified the Sabbatical and Jubilee years. To help them, in 2013, I then published Remembering the Sabbatical Year of 2016. I went into great detail and explained how to know when each and every Sabbatical and Jubilee year was. I walked the reader through each step in understanding how to figure this subject out, answering every question that has been raised about this subject.I was able to present all of this for the first time in 2013 at Sukkot in Fall Creek Falls State Park in Tennessee. I was able to record all of these teachings for the very first time on video. It was during this Sukkot that I was introduced to the Tombstones of Zoar for the very first time.But the brethren still had trouble understanding the 70 weeks of Daniel 9 in relation to the Jubilee cycles. These end-time prophecies needed yet another book to explain them in great detail. This led me to publish my 4th book in 2014, The 2300 Days of Hell. I originally wanted to call it the 70 Shabua of Daniel, but no one understood the title, so I changed it just before publishing. Once you see the charts for the Jubilee cycles, you can then see how they explain the meaning of the 70 Weeks of Daniel, which were sealed until the time of the end. That time is right now.The brethren can now see many things on the nightly news that this book explains: the deception of the Paris Accords or Climate Change, and the rise of military confrontations in the Middle East, EU, Iran and China. In 2014, there was a lot of hype about the Blood Moons. Our 5th book, The Blood Moons-The Elephant in the Room, is only available as an e-book through our website, Sightedmoon.com. It shows you how there were blood moons on each of the Jewish Holy Days in the spring and in the fall just before almost every major event in the Bible, all the way back to just before the death of Adam. It is a stunning book which can only be explained when you understand the Jubilee cycles.In 2019, I was convinced of the need to write our 6th book, It Was A Riddle Not A Command, because many people would write us and say that no man knows the day or the hour, and therefore you cannot know these end-time prophecies that you are teaching in your other books. It was always disappointing to see this response, as it showed they would not and could not learn any more than what they had already come to understand at their local church or assembly. They had stopped growing. They had never learned what that expression they so often used was actually telling them—the very day our Messiah was going to come back on.In order to prove to you what this Hebrew idiom actually does mean, we must look at a few other subjects, which will again deepen your understanding of the time when our Messiah was killed and of what is meant by Revelation 12. You will also learn that Yehshua always spoke in parables to purposely not reveal the information He was teaching about to the public. He wanted them to remain ignorant because they would not take the time to learn about Him in more detail.In the Parable of the Ten Virgins, I hope you will be just like the wise virgins who bought extra oil so that they had it when they needed it. The five foolish virgins had to go buy the oil because they did not have enough, but they were too late.I had stated publicly I would close our website if nothing happened in 2020 as we had been warning in our book The 2300 Days of Hell. COVID-19 did happen, and it proved our accuracy of the Jubilee cycles, but it even took us some time to realize just how huge COVID was and what that meant.My 7th book was published in 2021. The Mystery of the Jewish Rapture 2033 was addressing the rapture debate and showing from scriptures when it was to take place. In The Mystery of the Jewish Rapture 2033, we drill down on the Rapture itself and show you exactly where it is explained and the very day and year it is to take place on—exactly as your Bible shows you. Our book It Was A Riddle Not A Command also tells you the very day our Messiah is to come, so these last two books answer that burning desire most Christians have as to when these things are to take place. This answer is not possible to know though unless you understand the Sabbatical and Jubilee years.With the restrictions of COVID diminishing in 2022, and after having seen the Golden Calf Altar and Mount Sinai in Saudi Arabia, the realization of how COVID was a signal or marker to start another countdown began to dawn on me. I was now in a rush to get our next book out, but it turned out it was going to have to be three books which we called our Elijah Trilogy.Our 8th book was titled The Restoration of All Things and published in August 2022 as part one of our Elijah Trilogy. Yehshua said that Elijah must come first, and he would restore all things, and then the Messiah would come. So, what are the “all things” that have been lost and who is restoring those things today? Once we know what to look for, then we can see those who are restoring what was lost.Out 9th book, number two in the Elijah Trilogy, is The Abomination That Makes Desolate—The Epilogue. Released January 1, 2023, this book shows you how to know when the abomination was set up. Yes, the countdown to the abomination was already winding down as we raced to publish this book. Most have no clue because they are not looking, having not seen any of the works Yehovah is doing right now worldwide. Yes, we fully expected the abomination to be set up in 2023 and I even went to Israel to specifically look for it. I wrote Prime Minster Netanyahu and the Chief Rabbi and spoke face to face with Rabbi Yehudah Glick on September 10, 2023, but no one believed me. I was so stupid, so naive. Yehshua warned us that when you see the abomination you were to flee. Yehudah did text me on October 7 to say I was right, but it was too late for many people.I found a new shrine to the Blessed Virgin Mary in the very location we expected to discover this abomination. Fortunately for me the abomination was set up on October 6, 2023, exactly 1290 days after the count had begun. To confirm this count date, the second part of Daniel's prophecy also took place 1335 days from that same marker. I experienced over 2000 rockets sent out from Gaza towards Israel and Jerusalem where I was. My understanding of prophetic events was proving to be spot on.My 10th book and 3rd book of the Elijah Trilogy was published in September 2023 and is titled The 10 Days of Awe. This book explains another understanding of the Holy Days from the Feast of Trumpets until the Day of Atonement. These 10 days are likened to the final 10 years before Satan is locked away with the Great Tribulation ending at that time. These 10 years are also connected to the curses of Revelation, as well as the 10 plagues of Egypt. I explain in this book about the curse of the Sotah woman of Numbers 5 and how each of the 10 plagues are what Yehovah is doing to show how the false gods have no power at all. My 11th book, The Stones Cry Out, published September 5, 2024, was originally going to be one book explaining all the various proofs we have discovered, demonstrating when the Sabbatical and Jubilee years are throughout history.You can know; it is not a mystery.As I began to write The Stones Cry Out, I quickly found myself going back, time and time again, to explain how the calendar is behind the confusion of the Sabbatical and Jubilee years. The Rabbis, as they began to write the Mishnah, incorporated wrong understandings, and those errors were written into what became known as the Mishnah, the Jerusalem and Babylonian Talmud and then the Mishneh Torah. The expulsion from the land and subsequent persecutions in trying to send out messengers to report the barley being found, or the crescent moon being seen, proved to be increasingly dangerous over time. All of these things took place over 14 centuries.Then as I was working on The Stones Cry Out, I discovered that many people were now accepting the Zadok calendar as factual. This is when we pivoted to include all the details of the various calendars that have crept back into public knowledge today and are being used to mislead new people who are just starting to learn about the calendar. All of this was directly connected to the period starting with the Hasmonaeans, up to the destruction of the Temple. Then with the compiling of the Mishnah, the studies that led into the writing of the Jerusalem Talmud, then the Babylonian Talmud, and finally the Mishneh Torah, each error that was added was compounded over time.The Stones Cry Out Part 1 explains the history of how each compilation of the Oral Torah incorporated errors, leading the followers thereof away from the actual Torah. In understanding these facts, it is then possible to understand more readily how the Sabbatical and Jubilee years were then mixed and later changed. By explaining all this history, I am able to help you, the reader, understand the tombstones when most authorities do not. They have assumed, to their error, the Hillel calendar to have always been used since Mount Sinai. Not understanding the history of the calendars is why most authorities dismiss the tombstones as too confusing to use. Once you understand The Stones Cry Out Part 1, Part 2 will be very easy to grasp.My 12th book, The Stones Cry Out Part 2, published in December 2024, utilizes the knowledge that there are multiple calendars being used throughout history. Reconciling them all into one cohesive chronology has been the difficulty of all chronologists. It is the lack of understanding about the various calendars why many of the Jubilee experts dismissed so many of the historical artefacts that were available to them.Some proofs are undeniable, while others are weak if they have to stand on their own. It is with a great sense of pride that I share with you what I have been able to document and what we now currently know about the Sabbatical and Jubilee proofs in our possession.Ladies and Gentlemen, this book should have actually been the first book I presented. When I began to understand the Sabbatical and Jubilee years in 2005, at that time I only had 11 Sabbatical years as a reference. From just those 11, I was able to prove a 2nd Jubilee year. Considering we only knew about one Jubilee year prior to this discovery and proof, I was excited. With just these 12 proofs, I have come to understand all the prophecies I have shared with you over the years in all of our books.All of these books, all of this understanding was only possible because of the understanding gained from the knowledge revealed through the Sabbatical and Jubilee cycles by Yehovah. They truly are the foundation or KEY to understanding all end-time prophecy.We have 84 Biblical & historical records recording 63 Sabbatical years and 5 Jubilee years. When all 68 are combined, they prove beyond all doubt when to keep the Sabbatical and Jubilee years. It has been my passion since 2005 to discover and explain these mysteries. As I have proven when the Sabbatical and Jubilee years are to be kept, Yehovah has revealed the profound meanings of many prophecies hidden by not understanding the Jubilee cycles. As I have learned them, I have shared these discoveries in each of my books in order for you, the reader, to also understand their profound meanings and grow closer to Yehovah God. It is for this purpose that I have created our website, Sightedmoon.com, and spent all this time and energy in producing these books—to help you to understand. I pray I have succeeded in helping you to understand. May they all be a blessing to you as well.You TubewebsiteFree Books

Saudi Arabia had long known that it had a weakness: Food. Seeking to end its dependency on food imports, Saudi Arabia in 1980 embarked on a massive self-sufficiency program fueled by oil money and fossil water. That program eventually focused on a single water thirsty crop: Wheat. Things got a bit out of control. In the mid-1980s and early 1990s, Saudi Arabia pumped more groundwater than oil.

Saudi Arabia had long known that it had a weakness: Food. Seeking to end its dependency on food imports, Saudi Arabia in 1980 embarked on a massive self-sufficiency program fueled by oil money and fossil water. That program eventually focused on a single water thirsty crop: Wheat. Things got a bit out of control. In the mid-1980s and early 1990s, Saudi Arabia pumped more groundwater than oil. And 5% of the entire 1991 Saudi budget was being spent on growing more wheat than anyone can eat. In today's video, a noble policy with long-running water consequences.
This week we talk about the PKK, Turkey, and the DEM Party.We also discuss terrorism, discrimination, and stateless nations.Recommended Book: A Century of Tomorrows by Glenn AdamsonTranscriptKurdistan is a cultural region, not a country, but part of multiple countries, in the Middle East, spanning roughly the southeastern portion of Turkey, northern Iraq, the northwestern portion of Iran, and northern Syrian. Some definitions also include part of the Southern Caucasus mountains, which contains chunks of Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan.So this is a sprawling region that straddles multiple nations, and it's defined by the presence of the Kurdish people, the Kurds, who live all over the world, but whose culture is concentrated in this area, where it originally developed, and where, over the generations, there have periodically been very short-lived Kurdish nations of various shapes, sizes, and compositions.The original dynasties from which the Kurds claim their origin were Egyptian, and they governed parts of northeastern African and what is today Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan. That was back in the 8th to 12th century, during which Saladin, who was the sultan of both Egypt and Syria, played a major historical role leading Muslim military forces against the Christian Crusader states during the Third Crusade, and leading those forces to victory in 1187, which resulted in Muslim ownership of the Levant, even though the Crusaders continued to technically hold the Kingdom of Jerusalem for another hundred years or so, until 1291.Saladin was Kurdish and kicked off a sultanate that lasted until the mid-13th century, when a diverse group of former slave-soldiers called the mamluks overthrew Saladin's family's Ayyubid sultanate and replaced it with their own.So Kurdish is a language spoken in that Kurdistan region, and the Kurds are considered to be an Iranian ethnic group, because Kurdish is part of a larger collection of languages and ethnicities, though many Kurds consider themselves to be members of a stateless nation, similar in some ways to pre-Israel Jewish people, Tibetan people under China's rule, or the Yoruba people, who primarily live in Nigeria, Benin, and Togo, but who were previously oriented around a powerful city-state in that region, which served as the central loci of the Ife Empire, before the Europeans showed up and decided to forcibly move people around and draw new borders across the African continent.The Kurds are likewise often politically and culturally powerful, and that's led to a lot of pushback from leaders in the nations where they live and at times operate as cultural blocs, and it's led to some very short-lived Kurdish nations these people have managed to establish in the 20th century, including the Kingdom of Kurdistan from 1921-1924, the Republic of Ararat from 1927-1930, and the Republic of Mahabad, which was formed as a puppet state of the Soviet Union in 1946 in northwestern Iran, following a Soviet push for Kurdish nationalism in the region, which was meant to prevent the Allies from controlling the region following WWII, but which then dissolved just a few months after its official formation due to waning support from the Kurdish tribes that initially helped make it a reality.What I'd like to talk about today is the Kurdistan Worker's Party, and why their recently declared ceasefire with Turkey is being seen as a pretty big deal.—The Kurdistan Worker's Party, depending on who you ask, is a political organization or a terrorist organization. It was formed in Turkey in late-1978, and its original, founding goal was to create an independent Kurdish state, a modern Kurdistan, in what is today a small part of Turkey, but in the 1990s it shifted its stated goals to instead just get more rights for Kurds living in Turkey, including more autonomy but also just equal rights, as Kurdish people in many nations, including Turkey, have a long history of being discriminated against, in part because of their cultural distinctiveness, including their language, manner of dress, and cultural practices, and in part because, like many tight-knit ethnic groups, they often operate as a bloc, which in the age of democracy also means they often vote as a bloc, which can feel like a threat to other folks in areas with large Kurdish populations.When I say Kurdish people in Turkey have long been discriminated against, that includes things like telling them they can no longer speak Kurdish and denying that their ethnic group exists, but it also includes massacres conducted by the government against Kurdish people; at times tens of thousands of Kurds were slaughtered by the Turkish army. There was also an official ban on the words Kurds, Kurdistan, and Kurdish by the Turkish government in the 1980s, and Kurdish villages were destroyed, food headed to these villages was embargoed, and there was a long-time ban on the use of the Kurdish language in public life, and people who used it were arrested.As is often the case in such circumstances, folks who support the Kurdish Worker's Party, which is often shorthanded as the PKK, will tell you this group just pushes back against an oppressive regime, and they do what they have to to force the government to backtrack on their anti-Kurdish laws and abuses, which have been pretty widespread and violent.The PKK, in turn, has been criticized for, well, doing terrorist stuff, including using child soldiers, conducting suicide bombings, massacring groups of civilians, engaging in drug trafficking to fund their cause, and executing people on camera as a means of sowing terror.Pretty horrible stuff on both sides, if you look at this objectively, then, and both sides have historically justified their actions by pointing at the horrible things the other side has done to them and theirs.And that's the context for a recent announcement by the leader of the PKK, that the group would be disarming—and very literally so, including a symbolic burning of their weapons in a city in northern Iraq, which was shared online—and they would be shifting their efforts from that of violent militarism and revolution to that of political dialogue and attempting to change the Turkish government from the inside.Turkish President Erdogan, for his part, has seemed happy to oblige these efforts and gestures, fulfilling his role by receiving delegates from the Turkish, pro-Kurd party, the DEM Party, and smilingly shaking that delegate's hand on camera, basically showing the world, and those who have played some kind of role in the militant effort against the Turkish government, that this is the way of things now, we're not fighting physically anymore, we're moving on to wearing suits and pushing for Kurdish rights within the existing governmental structures.The founder of the PKK, Abdullah Ocalan, got in on the action, as well, releasing a seven-minute video from prison, which was then broadcast by the PKK's official media distribution outlet, saying that the fighting is over. This was his first appearance on camera in 26 years, and he used it to say their effort paid off, the Kurds now have an officially recognized identity, and it's time to leverage that identity politically to move things in the right direction.Erdogan's other messages on the matter, to the Kurdish people, but also those who have long lived in fear of the PKK's mass-violence, have reinforced that sentiment, saying that the Kurds are officially recognized as a political entity, and that's how things would play out from this point forward—and this will be good for everyone. And both sides are saying that, over and over, because, well, child soldiers and suicide bombings and massacres conducted by both sides are really, really not good for anyone.By all indications, this has been a very carefully orchestrated dance by those on both sides of the conflict, which again, has been ongoing since 1978, and really picked up the pace and became continuous and ultra-violent, in the 1980s.There was an attempted peace process back in the 20-teens, but the effort, which included a temporary truce between 2013 and 2015, failed, following the murder of two Turkish police officers, the PKK initially claiming responsibility, but later denying they had any involvement. That led to an uptick in military actions by both groups against the other, and the truce collapsed.This new peace process began in 2024 and really took off in late-February of 2025, when that aforementioned message was broadcast by the PKK's leader from prison after lawmakers from the pro-Kurdish DEM Party worked to connect him and the Turkish government, and eventually helped negotiate the resulting mid-May of 2025 disarmament.Turkey's military leaders have said they will continue to launch strikes against PKK-affiliated groups that continue to operate in the region, and the PKK's disarmament announcement has been embraced by some such groups, while others, like the Syrian Democratic Forces, which is tied to the PKK, but not directly affiliated with them, have said this truce doesn't apply to them.Most governments, globally, have heralded this disarmament as a major victory for the world and Turkey in particular, though the response within Turkey, and in Kurdish areas in particular, has apparently been mixed, with some people assuming the Turkish government will backtrack and keep the DEM Party from accomplishing much of anything, and worrying about behind-the-scenes deals, including a reported agreement between Erdogan's government and the DEM Party to support Erdogan's desire to transform the Turkish government into a presidential system, which would grant him more direct control and power, while others are seemingly just happy to hear that the violence and fear might end.Also notable here is that a lot of Turkey's foreign policy has revolved around hobbling and hurting the PKK for decades, including Turkey's initial hindering of Sweden's accession to NATO, which was partly a means of getting other nations to give the Turkish government stuff they wanted, like upgraded military equipment, but was also a push against the Swedish government's seeming protection of people associated with the PKK, since Sweden's constitution allows people to hold all sorts of beliefs.Some analysts have speculated that this could change the geopolitics of the Middle East fundamentally, as Turkey has long been a regional power, but has been partly hobbled by its conflict with the PKK, and the easing or removal of that conflict could free them up to become more dominant, especially since Israel's recent clobbering of Iran seems to have dulled the Iranian government's shine as the de facto leader of many Muslim groups and governments in the area.It's an opportune time for Erdogan to grab more clout and influence, in other words, and that might have been part of the motivation to go along with the PKK's shift to politics: it frees him and his military up to engage in some adventurism and/or posturing further afield, which could then set Turkey up as the new center of Muslim influence, contra-the Saudis' more globalized version of the concept, militarily and economically. Turkey could become a huge center of geopolitical gravity in this part of the world, in other words, and that seems even more likely now that this disarmament has happened.It's still early days in this new seeming state of affairs, though, and there's a chance that the Turkish government's continued strikes on operating PKK affiliated groups could sever these new ties, but those involved seem to be cleaving to at least some optimism, even as many locals continue hold their breath and hope against hope that this time is different than previous attempts at peace.Show Noteshttps://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/heres-what-to-know-about-turkeys-decision-to-move-forward-with-swedens-bid-to-join-natohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_PKK%E2%80%93Turkey_peace_processhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013%E2%80%932015_PKK%E2%80%93Turkey_peace_processhttps://carnegieendowment.org/emissary/2025/05/turkey-pkk-disarm-disband-impacts?lang=enhttps://www.middleeasteye.net/news/pkk-claims-deadly-suicide-bombing-turkish-police-stationhttps://web.archive.org/web/20161016064155/https://hrwf.eu/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Child-soldiers-in-ISIS-PKK-Boko-Haram%E2%80%A6.pdfhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdistan_Workers%27_Partyhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2025/jul/11/kurdistan-workers-party-pkk-burn-weapons-in-disarming-ceremony-videohttps://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/7/18/turkiye-pkk-analysis-recalibrates-politicshttps://time.com/7303236/erdogan-war-peace-kurds/https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/7/19/unidentified-drone-kills-pkk-member-injures-another-in-iraqhttps://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/unidentified-drone-kills-pkk-member-injures-another-near-iraqs-sulaymaniyah-2025-07-19/https://www.aljazeera.com/video/inside-story/2025/7/11/why-has-the-pkk-ended-its-armed-strugglehttps://archive.is/20250718061819/https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/2025-07-17/ty-article-opinion/.premium/how-the-possible-end-to-turkeys-kurdish-problem-could-become-israels-turkey-problem/00000198-1794-dd64-abb9-bfb5dbf30000https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdistanhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Kurdish_dynasties_and_countrieshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_Kurdish_nationalism This is a public episode.

It's Tuesday, July 22nd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson U.S. Christian statesmen call attention to persecution of Christians U.S. Republican Congressman Riley Moore of West Virginia and Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri introduced a congressional resolution (H. Res. 594) condemning the widespread and ongoing persecution of Christians in Muslim-majority countries. On April 30th, Congressman Moore took a stand on the floor of the U.S. House. MOORE: “Today, I rise to address a grave and urgent crisis: the rampant persecution of Christians in Africa and the Middle East. Across these regions, our brothers and sisters in faith experience violence, displacement, and death for their belief in our Lord, Jesus Christ. No person or community should ever face such brutal conditions for acknowledging the name of Jesus. “In Nigeria, the situation is dire! More Christians face persecution there than any other nation combined. Since the outbreak of the Boko Haram's insurgency in 2009, more than 18,000 churches and 2,200 Christian schools have been destroyed in northern Nigeria alone. “More than 50,000 Christians have been killed, and more than 5 million have been displaced since 2009, making it the most dangerous country in the world for Christians.” The July 17th resolution highlights the horrific slaughter of Christians in Nigeria, pastors arrested in Algeria, the torture of Christians in Yemen, the imprisonment of Christians in Iran, and other persecution taking place in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Turkey, Syria, and Saudi Arabia. The statement urged U.S. President Donald Trump to “prioritize the protection of persecuted Christians in U.S. foreign policy, including in the President's diplomatic engagement with Muslim-majority countries and his efforts to stabilize the Middle East.” It further urged him to “use all diplomatic tools available, including within trade and national security discussions and negotiations, to advance the protection of persecuted Christians worldwide and within Muslim-majority countries.” Colorado Christian bookstore files lawsuit against state over pronouns A Colorado Christian bookstore is suing the state for imposing recent changes to the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act on businesses. Born Again Used Books in Colorado Springs has filed the suit through Alliance Defending Freedom, pointing out the infringement of the business' freedom of speech under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The suit states that under Colorado's laws, “It is now illegal for public accommodations, like independent bookstores, to refer to transgender-identifying individuals with biologically accurate language in their publications and customer interactions.” And "Born Again Used Books must instead profess an ideological view it opposes, contradict the message espoused in the very books it sells, and avoid explaining its Christian beliefs about human sexuality in store and online. In effect, the law requires this Christian bookstore to abandon its core religious beliefs." London Pentecostal church now allowed to share Christ in streets A London Pentecostal church has achieved a reversal of a ban on evangelistic outreach on the streets, reports The U.K. Standard. The local government had passed an Anti-Social Behavior, Crime and Policing Act forbidding the use of amplification equipment, the distribution of religious literature, and the display of Bible verses at the town center. The Kingsborough Centre Church filed for judicial review, and obtained a reversal. The City also paid the church's legal costs incurred during the ordeal. Isaiah 43:16-17 says, “Thus says the Lord, Who makes a way in the sea, a path in the mighty waters, Who brings forth chariot and horse, army and warrior; they lie down, they cannot rise, they are extinguished, quenched like a wick.” Brazilian Supreme Court restricts former president Jair Bolsonaro Brazil's previous conservative president, Jair Bolsonaro, has come under severe restrictions by the Brazilian Supreme Court, reports Folha News. This comes days after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 50% tariff on Brazilian goods. Bolsonaro was forced to wear an electronic ankle bracelet. He cannot access social media accounts, and is prohibited from contacting his son who lives in the United States. The former Brazilian president has denied any responsibility for Trump's decision to impose tariffs, but also recently publicly thanked God for the election of Trump. Department stores are going bye-bye Department stores are a thing of the past. Thirty years ago, these stores captured 9% of all retail sales. Today, they account for only a half percent. Meanwhile, e-commerce (like Amazon and walmart.com) now take 17.2% of total retail sales up from 5.4% of the pie in 2003. Dropping condominium prices a bad sign Condominium prices usually lead price declines on an imploding house market. This real estate is dropping like a rock in some big cities. The big losers right now are Oakland, California and Austin Texas, with a 24% drop, followed by St. Petersburg, Florida, Fort Myers, Florida, Sarasota, Florida, San Francisco, California, Boise, Idaho, and Denver, Colorado. New president announced at G3 Ministries Dr. Scott Aniol has been appointed the new president of G3 Ministries after Josh Buice's removal from office earlier in the year. The elders of Pray's Mill Baptist Church had uncovered irrefutable evidence that Buice has, for the past three years, operated at least four anonymous social media accounts, two anonymous email addresses, and two Substack platforms. These accounts were used to publicly and anonymously slander numerous Christian leaders, including faithful pastors -- some of whom have spoken at G3 conferences. The G3 Church Network subscribes to the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession, and claims 200 U.S. churches in the network. Dr. Aniol obtained his Doctorate degree in Theological Studies from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Fusion energy technology could power the world And finally, fusion energy technology is advancing, and may soon be a reality — an unlimited source of power for the world. Earlier this year, China's Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak broke the world record for maintaining its artificial sun, and sustaining the hot plasma — confining plasma for an extraordinary 1,066 seconds, or about 18 minutes. A tokamak is a device that uses magnetic fields to confine and heat plasma, a state of matter where atoms are stripped of their electrons, to extreme temperatures, enabling nuclear fusion to occur. A German fusion reactor at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, also just hit a record of 43 seconds of plasma heating, producing 1.8 gigajoules over a six-minute run. The sun is the original fusion reactor. As Psalm 19:1 and 4b-8 puts it: “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims His handiwork. … In them, He has set a tent for the sun, which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy. Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them, and there is nothing hidden from its heat.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, July 22nd, in the year of our Lord 2025.

When we first met Majd Abdulghani, she was 19 years old, living in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. We gave her a recorder to keep an audio diary about her life. Majd chronicled her dreams of being a scientist, her resistance to having an arranged marriage, and what it was like to be a teenage girl living in one of the most restrictive countries in the world for women. Her story first aired in 2016.A lot has changed in Majd's life over the past nine years. Last year, she completed her doctorate at Oxford University, where she was Saudi Arabia's first Rhodes Scholar. She and her husband have a four-year-old daughter, and they recently moved home to Saudi Arabia after several years abroad.Saudi Arabia has changed a lot, too. Back in 2016, women weren't even allowed to drive. Now they can. And many more women have careers now—including Majd. She's now a successful scientist working for a company based in Riyadh.We recently met up with Majd while she was in Boston for a conference. Here's her diary from 2016, along with our conversation about how things have changed since then. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
