Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee discusses what can be a very difficult matter to sort through: the synagogue of Satan found in Revelation 2:9; 3:9. This passage has often been applied as a support for many violent anti-Semitic and anti-Jewish acts. In our day of growing anti-Judaism, how are we to best approach this, but also understand these statements for what they meant to some of the original recipients of the Book of Revelation? Part 2 of 2 This is then followed by a review of important stories and issues from the past day or so, largely witnessed on social media.

Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee discusses what can be a very difficult matter to sort through: the synagogue of Satan found in Revelation 2:9; 3:9. This passage has often been applied as a support for many violent anti-Semitic and anti-Jewish acts. In our day of growing anti-Judaism, how are we to best approach this, but also understand these statements for what they meant to some of the original recipients of the Book of Revelation?

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the young people in Iran are freedom fighters battling a genocidal regime and abandoning them worsens global threats like those from communist China, ultimately harming the United States. Regimes such as Iran, China, Cuba, and North Korea are fascistic feudal systems masquerading as people's revolutions, fueled by fraudulent ideologies like Marxism, socialism, and communism. There's a noticeable absence of U.S. protests by Marxist-Islamists and woke neo-fascists in support of the thousands slaughtered in Iran, despite their professed concern for rights. Also, the Democrats have militarized their various constituent groups again, in support of the illegal alien stampede they created under the Biden regime, because they know that to break the immigration enforcement system is to change the country forever and to establish one-party Democrat Party control over our country for as far as the eye can see.  Illegal immigration and the importation of millions of people from all parts of the world who have no intention of assimilating into our country and who seek to impose their own cultures on the citizenry is already causing enormous havoc and societal unrest.  And the Democrat Party is all in.  It is the most unconscionable assault on our nation since the Confederate Democrats dragged our country into a civil war. The battles in our streets between ICE and the mobs are battles for the survival of our Republic.   Later, the 19-year-old who set fire Congregation Beth Israel referred to it as the "Synagogue of Satan"—an anti-Semitic phrase used by figures like Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens. People like Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, Megyn Kelly, and others use inflammatory language that incites violence against Jews. Afterward, the Supreme Court should know that Trump imposed 25% tariffs on countries doing business with Iran solely for national security and foreign policy reasons, not economic or tax purposes, and that such decisions belong to the President as Commander-in-Chief, not judges or bureaucrats. The Court needs to reverse the lower court rulings and avoid involvement because judicial interference would disrupt historical presidential actions, blur the power of the purse from executive authority, and create havoc in the economy, international trade, foreign policy, and national security through inconsistent rulings from egomaniacal lower court judges.

Rabbi Avi Havivi's siddur class at Temple Beth Am Los Angeles via Zoom - January 13, 2026 Special Guest: Rabbi Avi Havivi.

Join Clay Edwards for a raw, unfiltered dive into the hottest stories shaking Jackson, Mississippi, and beyond in this special uncensored livestream-turned-podcast episode. Broadcasting live from his home setup on X, YouTube, and Rumble, Clay kicks things off with casual NFL playoff chatter—rooting for the Steelers against the Texans, sharing his Cowboys woes, and musing on why DK Metcalf's fan-punching comeback is a bad look. But the real fire starts with the shocking arson attack on Beth Israel Synagogue: Clay breaks down the arrest of 19-year-old suspect Spencer Pittman, a suburban private school kid turned alleged domestic terrorist. From Pittman's Instagram posts laced with antisemitic tropes (like "Synagogue of Satan") to his radicalization via online figures like Nick Fuentes, Clay pulls no punches on how a promising life got derailed by hate. Expect deep dives into federal charges, mental health red flags, and why this incident embarrasses Mississippi's image.   Shifting gears, Clay tackles the explosive Hinds County DA Jody Owens bribery scandal, where Owens claims FBI entrapment amid alcohol issues—while admitting guilt in a desperate bid to toss the case. Hear Clay's take on how this ties into corruption with former Mayor Chokwe Lumumba and Councilman Aaron Banks, plus why it's karma for past injustices like the Anthony Fox case.   Sprinkled throughout: Quick hits on a Rankin County sexual assault arrest, Gulfport vigils for ICE-shooting victim Renee Goode (with Clay calling out "angry white liberal" protesters), viral Antifa knockout videos, and memes roasting liberal overreactions. Clay interacts live with the chat, drops authentic rants on political correctness, and even defines "bellicosity" on the fly.   This episode is Clay Edwards at his most real—edgy, opinionated, and zero-holds-barred. No scripts, just straight talk on crime, culture, and chaos. Perfect for fans of unapologetic conservative commentary.

Read OnlineJesus came to Capernaum with his followers, and on the sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught. The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes. Mark 1:21–22Imagine attending a book study for a profound and challenging book. The group leader has read it thoroughly and consulted reviews; he shares various interpretations, offering valuable insights. You leave with a deeper understanding and gratitude for the leader's guidance. Now imagine years later you attend another study on the same book, but this time the author leads it. The author alone can speak with absolute authority—explaining the backstory, the intent behind the words, and the true meaning of the text. Nothing compares to hearing from the one who wrote the book.Jesus, as the eternal Son of God, is not just a teacher of Truth, but is its Co-Author, together with the Father and the Holy Spirit. From the beginning of time, God's Truth—His Eternal Word—has been gradually revealed through creation, the covenants, the Law, and the prophets. Yet only the Word Made Flesh could reveal Himself fully.When Jesus entered the synagogue in Capernaum, His teaching astonished the people. The scribes, though learned and revered, taught by relying on the traditions of their ancestors and the interpretations of others. Jesus, however, spoke with divine authority. His words were not secondhand interpretations but the living, authoritative proclamation of Truth. Those who were open to faith recognized something far greater than human wisdom; they encountered the very voice of God.The people's astonishment reveals the transformative nature of the Word of God. Jesus did not merely interpret the Scriptures for the people; He fulfilled them and identified Himself with them. As the Author of all Truth, His words—and His very Person—carried the power to liberate and transform. This power was immediately demonstrated when He cast out the unclean spirit in the verses that follow, revealing that His word does not simply teach—it acts, healing and restoring those in bondage.The question of Truth remains as relevant today as it was when Jesus walked the earth. In a world flooded with opinions, interpretations, and ideologies, only one thing ultimately matters: that which God speaks. We desperately need Christ's authoritative voice in our lives today. We need Him to cut through the confusion caused by our fallen and disordered human nature and the countless erroneous ideologies that permeate our world. Reflect today on whether you recognize the Voice of God. Are you familiar with His definitive and authoritative Word that sheds light on your life and the world around you? Do you allow yourself to be regularly astounded by God's revelation? As we begin Ordinary Time, we enter a season during which we must hear and internalize Jesus' many authoritative teachings during His public ministry. When properly encountered, His Word is alive and transformative. Place yourself in the synagogue in Capernaum as Jesus begins to reveal the Truth established from the foundation of the world. Allow that Truth to affect you, change you, and set you on the path that leads to eternal glory. Eternal Word of God, You are the Author and Revealer of all Truth. Speak to me with Your divine authority, and illuminate the many errors that afflict my heart and the world around me. With the power of Your Word, cut through the darkness, dispel confusion, and shine Your radiant light of Truth upon my path. Guide me to walk in Your ways, free from all deception, and lead me to the fullness of life.

We're breaking down the latest news regarding a disturbing incident in Jackson, MS. A Jewish synagogue has reportedly been set on fire, leading to an active arson investigation. This act of hate has shocked the community, and we discuss the implications for Mississippi crime. #JacksonMS #ArsonInvestigation #HateCrime #MississippiNews

In a segment addressing local news, host Clay Edwards delved into the arson attack on Beth Israel, Jackson's sole Jewish synagogue, which occurred around 3 AM on a Saturday. The Jackson Fire Department quickly contained and extinguished the blaze, and an arrest was swiftly made through collaborative efforts with JPD, ATF, FBI, and the Joint Terrorism Task Force. Sources, including Jackson Jambalaya, revealed the suspect as a 19-year-old white male from Madison, with the motive tied to antisemitism and religious hatred—potentially influenced by far-right figures like Nick Fuentes or left-wing extremism from Fondren's progressive scene. Edwards highlighted the widespread online coverage and virtuous signaling from politicians, but critiqued Mayor John Horn's statement for diluting the focus by lumping in unrelated oppressed groups like those targeted by racism or homophobia, arguing it unnecessarily expanded beyond the synagogue's plight while ignoring daily black-on-black crime in Jackson.   A caller, identified as "brother," chimed in to provide a comparative perspective, emphasizing hypocrisy in media and societal reactions. He pointed out that Missionary Baptist Churches across Jackson are fortified with bars on windows, cages around air conditioning units and vans, and face constant robberies, even murders of secretaries, yet these incidents rarely garner the "hate crime" outrage or headlines. Drawing from his military background, he questioned why Christian institutions endure such threats without the same "scene" or condemnation, attributing the disparity to a liberal agenda that prioritizes certain narratives over others, like elderly residents imprisoned in their barred homes. Edwards agreed, urging consistent energy for all victims of crime regardless of faith or race.

Jesus addresses the church in Smyrna with a sobering warning about deception from within. In Revelation 2:9 (NIV), He says:“I know about the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.”Who exactly is this synagogue of Satan?And how did such a group come to exist — claiming religious authority while opposing the truth of Christ?In Episode 125 of Wired for Impact, I sit down with Dr. Laura Sanger, a clinical psychologist, author of The Roots of the Federal Reserve, and expert in spiritual mapping and biblical worldview.

Rabbi Adam Kligfeld's Shabbat Teaching at Temple Beth Am, Los Angeles, December 27, 2025. (Youtube)

As discussed in previous installments, if a Minyan of precisely ten people is praying, and one of them leaves in the middle of a section that requires a Minyan, those who remain may complete that section despite not having a Minyan. As long as at least six men remain, they may complete the section that began in the presence of a Minyan. Thus, for example, if the Hazzan began the Hazara (repetition of the Amida), and the Minyan was lost in the middle of the repetition, he may continue and complete the Hazara. However, Halacha speaks very harshly of a person who breaks a Minyan by departing in the middle of the service, leaving behind fewer than ten men. The Sages applied to such a person the stern warning of the prophet Yeshayahu (1:28), "Ve'ozebeh Hashem Yichlu" – "Those who abandon G-d shall be annihilated," Heaven forbid. It must be emphasized that this applies only to someone whose departure results in the loss of a Minyan. If there are more than ten men present, then one who leaves the synagogue is not included in this harsh condemnation. Furthermore, the Mishna Berura writes that the Sages speak here only of a person who leaves during a part of the prayer service that requires a Minyan – such as the Hazara (repetition of the Amida), Kaddish and Torah reading. If a person needs to leave, he may do so if the congregation is not currently reciting a part of the prayer service requiring ten men. For example, if the Hazzan is reciting the Kaddish after Yishtabah, and the tenth man wishes to leave, he may wait until after Kaddish and then leave. This is allowed even though he prevents the remaining nine from reciting the later sections of the service that require a Minyan. Similarly, if a person needs to leave during the Hazara, he should do so after the completion of the Hazara. (According to Ashkenazic custom, which views Kaddish Titkabal as part of the Hazara, he must wait until after Kaddish Titkabal.) An exception to this rule is Nakdishach, during which one may never leave the synagogue. Importantly, this entire discussion applies to a person who already prayed. Irrespective of one's responsibility to the other nine men in the synagogue, he has a personal obligation to pray with a Minyan, and so he should not leave without a pressing need that justifies missing a Minyan.

On the evening of December 14, 2025—the first night of Hanukkah—Rabbi Benjamin Elton was driving home from performing a wedding, looking forward to lighting candles with his family. Then his phone began to explode with messages. There were gunmen at Bondi Beach. His wife and children were in lockdown at a nearby event. Names of the dead were coming through—colleagues, community members. For several terrible minutes, he couldn't reach his wife. And he wondered whether he was going to come home to find that he had lost his family. By the time the shooting stopped, fifteen people were dead, among them two rabbis, an eighty-seven-year-old Holocaust survivor, and a ten-year-old girl. They had been gunned down at a public Hanukkah celebration on one of Australia's most iconic beaches, before a large crowd of Jews who had gathered to light the menorah in the open air—because that's what confident, integrated diaspora communities do. The massacre at Bondi Beach was the culmination of two years of escalating anti-Semitism that the community had been warning about since October 7. Synagogues firebombed with congregants inside. Cars set ablaze in Jewish neighborhoods. Swastikas painted on schools and daycares. Weekly pro-Palestinian marches past synagogues every week, with chants of "globalize the intifada." A van discovered full of explosives along with a list of the addresses of Jewish institutions. And through it all, a government that offered sympathy and money for security, but never quite confronted the deeper problem. Until, finally, the community's darkest warnings came true. Rabbi Benjamin Elton is the chief minister of the Great Synagogue in Sydney—Australia's oldest Jewish congregation, founded in the 1820s, whose pulpit has traditionally made its occupant a primary representative of Judaism to the wider society. He holds a PhD in Jewish history from the University of London, and before entering the rabbinate, he worked in Britain's Ministry of Justice. He is a scholar of Anglo-Jewish history, a fellow of the Royal Historical Society, and a Sacks scholar, and, just over a decade ago, spent a year in residence as a fellow at Tikvah. This week, Rabbi Elton has been burying his friends. He joined Jonathan Silver, the editor of Mosaic, to discuss the recent trials of his family and community, and the growing threat to Australian Jewish security.

Rabbi Bronstein is joined by Jean Hanff Korelitz, author of The Sequel, a novel that offers an antihero to root for while illuminating and satirizing the world of publishing.

Trump and Hegseth are gearing up to send your kids to die for Israel. Venezuela is the next domino to fall. America's churches have been turned into Israeli fundraising centers and Third-Temple death cults run by fake Khazar “Jews” and their bought-off goy preachers. Pastor Chuck Baldwin joins Stew to burn the entire satanic system straight to hell.   The criminal cabal is using YOUR money to bomb kids overseas and replace us with third-world invaders, all funded by the biggest lie ever told: federal income tax. Peymon Mottahedeh joins Stew tonight to prove there's NO LAW requiring you to file or pay, and shows you exactly how to legally cut them off tomorrow and starve the beast.   The COVID “vaccine” was a military grade bioweapon attack on humanity and the monsters who mandated it are still in power. Paul Rozell lost his 28 years at United Airlines for refusing the poison jab.   Erika Kirk is exploiting Charlie's tragic assassination to push a phony narrative that he secretly lived a Jewish lifestyle and observed Shabbat, all while hawking his posthumous book to promote Judaism and Israel over real Christianity. The truth is Charlie was waking up to the cabal, rejecting their wars and influence, but now his untrustworthy inner circle is rewriting history for power and millions.
