Jubilee: Fake vs Real
The Bible speaks of the blowing of horn, every 50 years, on the Day of Atonement, commonly called the Jubilee year as the Temple Institute reported about on 24 May 2024.

1st Century: Saturday or Sunday?
In May of 2024, some who claim to have studied the Bible and early Christian church history posted that, "Sunday was a day highly regarded by ALL Christians by the close of the First Century." The two also referred to Acts 15 and suggested that "settled the matter." Yet, the Apostle Paul kept preaching on the Sabbath afterwards and in Acts 28:17 made it clear he had not switched to advocating Sunday. What does a properly translated version of Hebrews 4 teach about the people of God keeping the seventh-day Sabbath? What did 'Ante-Nicene Fathers' such as Origen of Alexandria teach related to Sabbath-keeping and Hebrews 4? Did Eusebius teach that the faithful leaders in Jerusalem were there until the second century, and hence that they did not endorse Sunday? When did Sunday get acceptance? Was there any relationship to the Jewish Bar Kochba revolt and then edits from Emperor Hadrian? Could that have also impacted the date of Passover. What did Marcus of Jerusalem advocate? …
Could Goliath Have Been 9 Feet Tall?

Is there skeletal evidence that points to people being that tall 3,000 or so years ago? Did David kill Goliath? Is there any archaeological evidence that the Philistines even used names like 'Goliath' three thousand years ago? What about the so-called 'Goliath Ostracon'? …
Bird Flu and 4th Horseman's Ride
The World Health Organization (WHO) is greatly concerned that the avian flu (H5N!) is passing to cows and goats and then to humans. Have farmers done anything, like feeding chicken manure, to cows that might have affected them? Were unnatural feedings of ground up animals to cows (which are vegatarians) the cause of 'mad cow disease'? Does the avian flu have an exceedingly high mortality rate for humans? Have any scientists suggested bird flu could be 100 times worse than COVID? Are the USA and China working on making bird flu more infectious? If so, why? …

A new report shows that the number of suicides in the USA broke a record in 2022 that was surpassed with a new record in 2023. Many 'experts' have no answers for why this is occurring.

Temple Institute, Heifers, Hamas, and a Tent
In March 2024, the Temple Institute recently pointed out that how God blessed the Sabbath, He also blessed the construction of a tent tabernacle. They pointed out progress from the ancient Israelites. Should Christians be making spiritual progress each year before Passover? The Temple institute has stated that the area called 'the Temple Mount' needs to be cleared of Muslim mosques, etc. so that a 'third temple' can be built.

Russia, Sanctions, Transnistria, Europe & Prophecy
In 2014 the USA and European Union put sanctions on Russia because of its acquisition of Crimea. Since Russia's 'Special Military Operation' into Ukraine, more sanctions were added.

Freemasons and Vatican Officials Seek Cooperation
On February 16, 2024, some high level clergy of the Roman Catholic Church in Italy met with three Grand Masters of the Freemasons. Since the Vatican has prohibited its members from being Freemasons, why might this be? Are there related 'globalist' interests? Do the Freemasons assert that Pope Francis' encyclical 'Fratelli Tutti' (Brothers All), saying the Church had finally embraced “universal fraternity" is in line with "the great principle of modern Freemasonry"? Are there any biblical reasons to consider that the Church of Rome and the Freemasons may cooperate? …
