Could Sept. 23 Be a Turning Point in Biblical Prophecy?
A growing number of Bible prophecy watchers are focusing their attention on Sept. 23, a date that coincides with the Jewish feast of Rosh Hashanah and a week of high-stakes diplomatic meetings at the United Nations. The timing feels loaded with prophetic potential, possibly marking the rapture, the start of the tribulation or the signing of the Daniel 9:27 covenant.
Tom Cote, host of the Watchman River podcast, said, “I’ve never seen the Watchman community so on fire for a time period of what’s happening right now in the world and where it’s leading.”
He pointed to the UN’s push for a two-state solution with Israel as one of the key developments in play. “We know that Sept. 23 is part of the week where these meetings are happening at the United Nations where they’re going to try to twist Israel’s arm into accepting a two-state solution,” he said.
While some speculate that this period will mark the beginning of the seven-year tribulation, Cote believes another critical event must occur first: a major Middle East war that clears the way for Israel to rebuild the Temple. “Do you think right now… they would give Israel permission to build a third temple?” he asked. “I believe personally it is a serious war. I believe it’s probably the Psalm 83 war.”
Cote rejects the idea that Psalm 83 was fulfilled in 1948 or that it is merely a prayer. “If they were confounded and dismayed forever, why did they all come back? I just can’t see that,” he said, pointing to the ongoing hostility from groups like Hezbollah and Hamas.
He envisions a scenario where “Iran is going to gather up their proxies… and I think God’s going to step in and eliminate” the immediate ring of enemies, paving the way for a peace deal and Temple construction.
He closed with a reminder that watchfulness must be balanced with humility. “I’m looking up right now every day… I’m not trying to pinpoint a day or an hour,” Cote said. That approach echoes Jesus’ own words in Matthew 24:36 that “about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”

Did the Red Heifer Ceremony Happen? Conflicting Reports Stir Debate
Conflicting Reports Emerge Over Red Heifer Ceremony in Israel
The rare biblical red heifer, long regarded as a prophetic sign connected to the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem, has become the center of controversy after two very different accounts surfaced about whether the long-awaited ritual has already taken place.
In recent weeks, statements from Adam King, a media personality claiming firsthand knowledge of the event, has clashed with information from Mondo Gonzales of Prophecy Watchers, who has spent years closely following the red heifer project.
During a recent appearance on the Timcast IRL podcast, fellow podcaster Adam King said that on July 1, 2025, a real red heifer named Tikva was sacrificed in Israel according to Jewish law.
Publicly, it was announced as a “practice run” using a disqualified animal, but King insisted that this was intentional misdirection to avoid political backlash and international outrage. “They fooled everybody and they successfully performed the ritual about a month ago,” he claimed.
King described the sacrifice as being carried out “specifically according to halakha” (Jewish law) and emphasized the rarity of such an event. “The last time that the red heifer was done was over 2,000 years ago,” he said, noting that the first was performed by Moses, the second by Ezra and that throughout all of Jewish history, only nine have been sacrificed.
He further claimed to possess physical proof of the event: “I have with me some of the ashes right here, red heifer ashes… and also hyssop that is from the actual ritual.”
According to King, these ashes, kept in a clay jar in keeping with biblical requirements, are being used to purify people from the “impurity of death,” enabling them to ascend the Temple Mount in ritual purity. He asserted that miraculous healings have already occurred, citing a man with Alzheimer’s who “started remembering everything” and even cases of “sight to the blind.”
King also tied the red heifer ritual directly to messianic expectations, saying, “Now that it’s been done, the Messiah can come” and build the Third Temple. He maintained that the Third Temple cannot be constructed without the red heifer ceremony taking place and linked this development to broader geopolitical events, claiming that Hamas and other hostile actors saw the ritual as a threat. According to him, “The Democrats are trying to stop the Messiah,” and the Oct. 7 Hamas attack was partly motivated by an obsession with halting the red heifer project.
Mondo Gonzales: It Wasn’t the Final Ceremony
Mondo Gonzales, co-host of Prophecy Watchers, has been in regular contact with those directly involved in the red heifer project, including Boneh Israel member Byron Stinson. While acknowledging that a heifer was burned on July 1, he says the location, Samaria, prevents it from qualifying as the final, prophetic ceremony.
“The Bible is ambiguous, but the rabbinic oral tradition in the Mishnah is crystal clear,” Gonzales explained. “It has to be on the Mount of Olives, and from a vantage point where you can look down into the Temple area. This box cannot be unchecked.”
Gonzales confirmed that Stinson has described the July 1 ritual as both a “real ceremony” and a “practice” in preparation for the Mount of Olives event. According to Gonzales, Stinson has told him there are still “two, maybe three” qualified heifers remaining, with additional candidates being bred in Israel and Texas.
He also pushed back on speculation that the actual prophetic ceremony could have been done secretly. “There’s no way this could be done in secret,” Gonzales said. “We’re talking about a gigantic bonfire in an area surrounded by Arabs. The police have to be there. The fire department has to be notified. You couldn’t hide it.”
From a Christian perspective, Gonzales stressed that Hebrews 9 and 13 make it clear that Jesus is the ultimate sacrifice, rendering any future animal sacrifices unnecessary for believers. “This coming temple is not going to be the millennial one. We know that for sure,” he said, warning that while the Third Temple is prophetically significant, it will ultimately be defiled by the Antichrist before being replaced by Christ’s millennial temple.
The Need for Discernment
While the debate over the red heifer continues, Scripture warns that deception will increase in the last days (Matt. 24:4, 2 Thess. 2:9–10). For that reason, it is paramount for Christians to remain grounded in biblical truth, exercising discernment through God’s Word and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
We live in a time when prophetic events can stir intense excitement, and misinformation, spiritual clarity is essential to keep believers anchored in what God has revealed.

10 Signs of the End Times Are Unfolding Right Now
Pastor James Kaddis says the Bible gives us obvious signs to look for when it comes to the end times, and many of them are playing out right in front of us.
“God made those signs obvious,” Kaddis said, adding that unlike previous generations, “we are seeing things manifesting that have never manifested before… many of the things that are happening in front of us are first time things that quite frankly human history could have never produced prior to the time period that we’re living in right now.”
Here are the 10 signs he says are the most consequential and historic, showing us just how close we may be to the Lord’s return:
1. Rebirth of Israel as a Nation
Kaddis called this “so unbelievably consequential to Bible prophecy.” Citing Isaiah 66:8 and Ezekiel 37, he reminded viewers that on May 14, 1948, “Israel became a nation in literally a single day fulfilling Isaiah’s prophecy… no other nation in world history has been reborn after nearly 2,000 years of being in exile.” He said the survival of Israel through constant opposition is “direct evidence of God’s covenant and His faithfulness” and that the end times “don’t work” without Israel in place.
2. Explosion of Knowledge and Transportation
Referencing Daniel 12:4, Kaddis said the verse points to both a massive increase in technology and a deeper understanding of prophecy. “In 1900, human knowledge doubled roughly every hundred years… by 2025, it is estimated that human knowledge is doubling every 12 hours,” he said. He explained that modern tools—AI, global internet, digital archives—are “making the understanding of Bible prophecy so much easier” and helping the world move toward the global systems prophesied in Scripture.
3. Strong Delusion and Rejection of Truth
Quoting 2 Thessalonians 2:10–11, Kaddis warned, “We are going to see people holding fast to the lies… and we are watching it right now.” He described a global “rejection of the Word of God” where morality is upside down, evil is celebrated, and the truth is ridiculed. He said the world is being primed to “believe the ultimate lie” after the rapture and to embrace the Antichrist’s system.
Citing Zechariah 12:3, Kaddis said the hatred for Israel is “intensifying in ways we have never seen it before” and is accompanied by growing persecution of Christians. “Jerusalem is the most contested city in the world,” he said, adding that the UN “has issued more resolutions against Israel than any other nation… more than all of them put together.” He pointed to antisemitism on college campuses and open calls for Israel’s destruction as fulfillment of prophecy.
5. Rise of Global Government and Economic Control
Looking to Revelation 13:16–17, Kaddis said, “We know that this is around the corner… we see the building blocks all over the place.” He described the push toward one-world governance through tools like central bank digital currencies, biometric surveillance, and cashless economies. “The overwhelming majority of that infrastructure is already in place,” he warned.
6. Global Proclamation of the Gospel
Quoting Matthew 24:14, Kaddis said modern technology has made it possible “to preach the gospel to virtually every people group in existence.” He shared that AI is now being used to translate rare languages for unreached groups. Comparing the reach of his grandfather’s decades of ministry to his own online sermons, Kaddis said, “You are talking about years… worth of listening every single month… it’s extraordinary.”
7. Spiritual Coldness and False Religion
Kaddis cited 2 Timothy 3:5, noting, “Many churches today maintain some form of religion, but literally reject the biblical authority… and His power.” He warned that false prophets are increasing and that “a love for God, His Word, holiness, they’ve all grown cold,” pointing to a wave of ear-tickling messages replacing sound doctrine.
Referring to 2 Peter 3:3–4, Kaddis said, “The Bible said that the world would mock, completely laugh at the idea that Christ would return… and we are watching it.” He shared that even some Christians ridicule the doctrine of Christ’s imminent return, living as if life will continue forever, just “as in the days of Noah.”
9. Creation Groaning
Quoting Romans 8:22, Kaddis said natural disasters are part of “the birth pangs that we often talk about.” He listed earthquakes, volcanoes, heat waves, hurricanes, and food shortages as examples, explaining that “these groanings increase in frequency and intensity” and point to the nearness of redemption for the church.
10. Formation of the Gog-Magog Alliance
Reading from Ezekiel 38, Kaddis said we are watching Russia, Iran, and Turkey form “a military, economic, and political alliance” that didn’t exist until recently. “When we see them cooperating… with mutual opposition to Israel, we should be thinking about that,” he said, calling it a clear stage-setting for the prophetic war described in Scripture.
Kaddis emphasized these signs aren’t given to frighten believers, but to wake them up. “These signs… point to our day of deliverance,” he said. He urged Christians to “be about your Father’s business,” sharing the gospel and living holy lives, because “time is short and our redemption draws near.”

Bible Camps Bring Trauma Care and Hope to Thousands of Children
Mission Eurasia is providing trauma care and Christian teaching to tens of thousands of children impacted by war through its “Summer of Hope” Bible camps. The ministry expects to serve 30,000 children across 14 countries this summer, with 80% of participants coming from Ukraine, where lives have been upended by Russia’s full-scale invasion.
“These camps are often the first time in months or years that children can feel safe, play freely and hear a message of hope,” Mission Eurasia President Sergey Rakhuba told Christian Daily International. “They are places where trauma counseling and spiritual care go hand in hand.”
Held in partnership with local churches, most camps in Ukraine operate in central and western regions considered less dangerous, though safety can never be guaranteed. Rakhuba recalled a recent incident in Zaporizhzhia when children at camp took shelter during a drone attack, then resumed activities afterward. “They look for reassurance that they will not be left alone and that their families will not be left alone,” he said. “They’re extremely grateful and receptive to care, and they want to be near people who will hug them and keep them safe.”
The camps combine games, crafts, and Bible lessons with counseling sessions tailored to children who have faced displacement, violence, or loss. Leaders trained through Mission Eurasia’s Schools Without Walls program serve in their own regions, creating trust through shared experience. “It’s about restoring hope and building connections so children know they are part of a larger, caring community,” Rakhuba said. “Even though the war is not over, they can see they are not alone.”
Follow-up care is an essential part of the program, with local church leaders continuing to support families after the camps end. Many parents and caregivers begin attending church after witnessing the care given to their children.
Rakhuba, a native of eastern Ukraine’s Donbas region, has witnessed firsthand the devastation of front-line and liberated areas. He asked believers worldwide to keep praying for the ministry, for an end to the war, and for God’s protection over staff and children.
“We want children to experience joy, make friends, and hear that there is hope for their lives,” he said. “And we want them to know that hope has a name, Jesus.”
Let us pray for all of the children and their families whose lives have been shattered by war, that God would heal their trauma, restore their peace and surround them with His protection. Pray that the Bible camps would continue to be places of safety and joy, where young hearts hear the hope of the gospel and find strength in Jesus. And may the Lord grant wisdom, courage and endurance to the leaders and counselors serving on the front lines of this ministry.

Global Response to Gaza War Reflects Biblical Prophecy
The war between Israel and Hamas has not only ignited fierce battles on the ground but also sparked an information war, with narratives shifting to portray Israel as the aggressor and Hamas as the victim. Critics warn that this reversal of truth mirrors an ancient biblical warning about calling evil good and good evil.
Christian broadcaster Erick Stakelbeck addressed the issue during a recent episode of The Watchman newscast, describing the situation as a fulfillment of Isaiah 5:20. “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil,” he quoted. “Hello 2025. Darkness for light, light for darkness … embracing the darkness and trying to cast out the light.”
Since Oct. 7, 2023, Israel has been fighting what Stakelbeck calls “wars on seven fronts” against the Iranian “Ring of Fire” network, including Hezbollah and the Houthis. “What they’ve been able to pull off is just astounding,” he said. “I believe the God of Israel has gone ahead of the IDF in some of these engagements.”
He argued that the global backlash against Israel, especially in the West, is fueled by deliberate misinformation. “Tell me that this does not encapsulate what we’re seeing now with Israel and the propaganda war … the relentless castigation of the world’s one and only Jewish state, the lies, the outright bold-faced lies,” Stakelbeck said. “We’re talking about the Western world … where the pro-Palestinian, a.k.a. pro-Hamas cause, has a firm grip.”
One of the most troubling elements, Stakelbeck said, is the expectation for Israel to supply humanitarian aid to Gaza during wartime. “This is the first time in history that I know of … that one of the combatants is apparently responsible for feeding and clothing its enemy,” he said. According to the United Nations, roughly 80% of aid shipments into Gaza are seized by Hamas.
Stakelbeck said the narrative has been flipped, with Israel “bending over backwards” to deliver aid while Hamas withholds it for propaganda purposes. “Israel was the target. They didn’t start it. It was unprovoked. But now it’s been flipped,” he said. “Good, evil, evil, good.”
Framing the moment as both geopolitical and prophetic, Stakelbeck compared leaders like Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu to “modern-day Churchills” for resisting globalist pressure. “Netanyahu is fiercely sovereign … at the end of the day, he could do the easy wrong thing or the hard right thing,” he said.
Calling it a “wheat and tares” moment for nations, Stakelbeck urged Christians to remain steadfast. “Yes, it’s Isaiah 5:20 times. No doubt,” he said. “But God is moving. And there are many like you … so be encouraged. Stay in prayer, but know the signs and the times.”

More Than 7,000 Christians Killed in Just 7 Months As Persecution Crisis Deepens
Thousands of Christians Killed in Nigeria as Persecution Intensifies
The persecution of Christians in Nigeria has reached a staggering scale in 2025, with thousands losing their lives for their faith. This violence, driven largely by Islamic extremists and radicalized militias, echoes the biblical warning that believers would face hatred and persecution for the name of Jesus (Matt. 10:22). For Christians worldwide, these reports are a call to pray for our brothers and sisters in Nigeria, asking God to strengthen them, give them hope and fill them with courage to stand firm in their faith.
The Anambra-based International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety) reports that “at least 7,087 Christians were massacred across Nigeria” from Jan. 1 to Aug. 10 of this year. In the same period, “no fewer than 7,800 others were violently seized and abducted for being Christians.”
These numbers translate to “an average of 30 Christian deaths per day and more than one per hour,” according to the report. The abduction rate is similarly horrifying: “an estimated 35 Christians are also calculated to have been abducted daily and roughly two others per hour, in the said past 220 days.”
The violence is largely attributed to jihadist groups such as Boko Haram, Islamic State affiliates, and radicalized Fulani herders. Intersociety warns that Nigeria is a “safe haven” for at least 22 Islamic terror groups intent on wiping out Christians and indigenous ethnic identities, including the ancient Igbo heritage.
Government Inaction and Growing Threat
Emeka Umeagbalasi, Intersociety’s chair, has tracked religious violence in Nigeria since 2010 and says the trend is worsening. “We have been following the patterns and trends, and the situation is getting worse,” he told The Christian Post. He accuses the Nigerian government of failing to apprehend perpetrators, even arresting Christian victims who attempt to defend themselves, rather than the attackers.
Since 2009, the organization estimates that “185,009 defenseless Nigerians” have been killed, 125,009 of them Christians. During that time, 19,100 churches have been destroyed, over 1,100 Christian communities “sacked,” and 600 Christian clerics abducted.
A Biblical Response to Persecution
Scripture reminds believers that persecution is not new; Jesus told His followers that those who follow Him would face trials and suffering (John 15:18–20). Yet the Bible also promises that those who endure will receive the crown of life (James 1:12). As Nigerian Christians endure unimaginable hardships, the global Church is called to intercede for them, praying for their protection, steadfastness, and for their persecutors to come to faith in Christ.
Umeagbalasi has urged the United States and Western nations to take stronger action, including reinstating Nigeria on the U.S. “Countries of Particular Concern” list, which carries the possibility of sanctions. Nigeria was removed from that list during the Biden administration’s first year, a move that drew criticism from the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom.
Global Advocacy
Other advocacy groups are sounding the alarm. Open Doors US, which tracks global Christian persecution, placed Nigeria in the seventh spot on its 2025 World Watch List, underscoring the urgent need for action and prayer.

L.A. Marzulli: Rep. Luna’s Interdimensional Claims Match Ancient Biblical Accounts
Could there be technology on Earth so advanced it would “rival what we know currently with physics” and challenge our very understanding of reality? That’s exactly what U.S. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla. said in a recent conversation with podcaster Joe Rogan, and her claims are sparking serious discussion, including among Christian researchers who see deep biblical implications.
Speaking to Rogan, Luna said investigations and witness testimony point to phenomena and technology “we don’t have the ability to reproduce,” likening it to “dropping a cell phone… back during the time of maybe cavemen.”
She explained that witnesses in congressional hearings have repeatedly described the entities associated with this technology as “interdimensional” and possibly existing “outside of what we currently know as our own dimension.”
Without revealing classified information, Luna told Rogan she has seen “photo documentation of aircraft that I believe were not made by mankind” and cited historical records “maybe even before the time of Christ” that document similar events.
Her concerns extend beyond the phenomenon itself to the secrecy surrounding it. Luna recalled being denied access, along with two other members of Congress, to whistleblower-related information at Eglin Air Force Base. “We were told that we don’t have security clearance or the read in authority on a special access program,” she said. “That’s a problem… you have people who are unelected, that are operating basically in secrecy.”
“It Fits the Biblical Narrative”
Christian author and researcher L.A. Marzulli reacted to Luna’s comments in an interview with Charisma Media, saying her descriptions align with what Scripture says about fallen angels and the Nephilim.
“When she’s talking about interdimensional beings and ancient historical accounts, that’s exactly what we see in the Bible,” Marzulli said. “Genesis 6 talks about the sons of God coming into the daughters of men. This isn’t science fiction, it’s spiritual reality.”
Marzulli emphasized that what Luna calls “interdimensional” is consistent with the biblical understanding of the spiritual realm. “We’re talking about a war between God’s angels and the forces of darkness,” he explained. “And what she’s describing, movement outside of time and space, technology beyond human capability, fits the biblical narrative perfectly.”
He also agreed with Luna’s analogy of “a cell phone in caveman times,” suggesting such technology “comes from fallen entities with superior knowledge” and is part of a larger prophetic puzzle. “The secrecy and sudden openness about these things could be part of the great deception the Bible warns about,” he said.
A Call for Discernment
While the topic may sound like the plot of a sci-fi movie, both Luna and Marzulli agree that it demands serious attention. Luna warns of the dangers of hidden information in the hands of unelected actors, while Marzulli urges Christians to filter these revelations through the Word of God.
“We have to be discerning,” Marzulli said. “This is not just about physics or science. It’s about the origins of life, the spiritual reality we live in, and the times we’re entering. The Bible told us this would come, and it’s unfolding right in front of us.”

Portland Sees Largest Christian Revival in Decades as Thousands Respond to the Gospel
In a city long known for its secularism, the largest Christian revival event in decades drew tens of thousands to the Moda Center earlier this month.
The PDX Crusade, hosted by Athey Creek Church in partnership with other local congregations, welcomed an estimated 35,000 people to the two-night gathering on Aug. 2–3. Popular Christian artists including Chris Tomlin, Zach Williams, CAIN, TAYA, Anne Wilson, Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes led worship, while senior pastor Brett Meador preached the Gospel each evening. More than 3,200 people came forward during altar calls, with volunteers distributing Bibles and connecting new believers to local churches.
The event marked one of the most significant evangelical gatherings Portland has seen in decades, as reported by Fox News. It follows a 2020 outdoor worship protest that drew 4,000–7,000 attendees and recalls the late evangelist Luis Palau’s 1999 festival, which reached over 90,000 people.
Many who attended the PDX Crusade expressed amazement at the turnout and the hunger for faith in a city often seen as resistant to it. “I’m really excited about it,” Portland resident Laura Lybrand told Oregon Public Broadcasting while waiting in line. “I haven’t seen anything like this in a long, long time.”
From the stage, Meador addressed the city’s visible challenges with homelessness, crime and spiritual emptiness. “Why is there so much darkness here? I believe it’s because we have often pushed Jesus — the real light of the world — out,” he told the crowd. In a sermon last month, he had criticized Portland’s “stupidity, wokeness and failure” after the Oregon House of Representatives hosted a drag performance to celebrate Pride Month.
According to the Pew Research Center, the Portland–Vancouver metro area is the only one among the nation’s 34 largest where the religiously unaffiliated outnumber Christians, 44% to 42%. Meador, who moved to Portland in 1996 because it was considered the most irreligious city in America, believes that makes it ripe for revival. “I believe the Lord’s doing a great work in Portland, and it’s evident here tonight,” he said. “But we have more work to do and that’s why it’s important for us to declare that He is the light of the world.”
Some attendees said they sensed something deeper happening in the Pacific Northwest. “I’ve just seen a number of different people over these last few months and years that are moving from different areas to the [Willamette] Valley, because they feel like there’s some sort of revival taking place,” Brandon Porter of Newberg told OPB. “They feel like God’s called them here.”
Athey Creek Executive Pastor Rick Anderson said the leadership is now considering making the PDX Crusade an annual event. “If the city of Portland reflects back and recognizes that this was a catalyst for reviving the church… and really bringing the love of Jesus to a lost and desperate world, we’re going to consider that a success,” Anderson said.
In a time when America faces deep cultural and moral decay, these massive gatherings of believers signal a renewed desire for spiritual awakening, the kind of revival that can transform cities, restore hope and turn hearts back to God.

Parents Stunned by Hidden Procedures as Trump Strikes Back Against Failing Schools
Virginia School Abortion Scandal Shows Why Parents Must Take Back Control
Fairfax County, Virginia, is under fire after allegations that staff at Centreville High School arranged and paid for abortions for two students without notifying their parents.
“We learned yesterday of these concerning allegations from 2021,” Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) told WJLA-TV in a statement. “We are launching an immediate and comprehensive investigation as we take all concerns of student wellbeing very seriously.”
One student wrote, “(The teacher) scheduled the appointment for me at the abortion clinic in Fairfax, paid the cost of that medical procedure, and kept everything quiet without informing my family. I feared my family would react very badly if they found out about my pregnancy and the abortion.”
The second student reported that she was told she “had no other choice.” Both letters alleged the school’s principal at the time knew about the abortions and paid for them.
Teacher Zenaida Perez told WC Dispatch the student “ran from the clinic” and confided in her afterward. In a recorded interview with the outlet, the family confirmed they were not informed about the intent to terminate the pregnancy.
“I want to stress that at no time, would the situation as described in these allegations be acceptable in Fairfax County Public Schools,” Superintendent Michelle Reid wrote in a letter to the Centreville High School community. “We all have serious questions about these allegations that must be answered. We all deserve to know what happened.”
Pro-life group 40 Days for Life wrote on X, “A Fairfax high school secretly arranged and paid for student abortions—without telling parents. This isn’t ‘healthcare.’ It’s state-funded child exploitation. Every official involved must be held accountable.”
Karen Hamilton, Republican nominee for the Virginia House of Delegates, said, “This is extremely troubling!! Also, if democrats pass their abortion amendment, parents will be cut out of situations like this. Your kid can’t take Tylenol at school without your permission, but your daughter could undergo a dangerous surgical procedure without your knowledge.”
Penny Nance, CEO and president of Concerned Women for America, stated, “This is absolutely outrageous if this is true and a complete affront to parental rights.” She urged Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares to investigate.
Trump’s School Choice Law Strikes Back at a Broken System
On Independence Day, President Donald Trump signed “the most consequential federal school choice legislation in our nation’s history,” declaring “educational freedom as a new right for students and families across America,” according to an opinion piece by Sen. Bill Cassidy, Sen. Tim Scott, Sen. Ted Cruz, and former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos published by Fox News.
“It was long past time for Washington to act – and we did so decisively,” the authors wrote. “Giving parents the ability to choose the school that best meets their child’s individual needs is about more than just test scores – it’s about giving every child a real shot at success.”
The measure, part of the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act, establishes “the first-of-its-kind tax credit scholarship program for all types of educational settings.” Beginning in 2027, “individuals will receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit of up to $1,700 per year for donations to educational nonprofits that fund K-12 scholarships for low- and middle-income students.”
“Eligible scholarships can cover tuition, books, tutoring, transportation, uniforms, special needs services and educational technology,” the authors explained, adding that “parents and students will receive these scholarships tax-free.”
“Tens of billions of dollars for scholarships will be made available to K-12 students all across America,” they wrote. “Millions of families will now be able to send their children to a school that aligns with their values and beliefs. Parents will be able to reclaim control of their children’s education.”
“Sadly, every single Democrat in Congress voted against the most important civil rights legislation of the 21st century,” the authors said. “But President Trump and the Republican Congress delivered.”
A Moral and Cultural Turning Point
“The right education can change the course of a child’s life. We know this. Our Founding Fathers knew this. And now, every child in America has the right to access an excellent education – regardless of race, income, or zip code,” the authors wrote.
The Fairfax County allegations serve as a haunting reminder of what’s at stake when parents are excluded from life-changing decisions about their children. Trump’s school choice law represents a direct answer to that problem, empowering families, protecting children and ensuring parents, not union bosses or unaccountable administrators, have the final say in their children’s education.

Are Underground Bases Part of Revelation’s End-Times Scenario?
Underground Bases, the Days of Noah and End-Times Prophecy
Author and researcher L.A. Marzulli is once again addressing what he calls “the stuff of conspiracy theory,” deep underground military bases, or DUMBs, and why he believes they may have prophetic significance.
“I want to talk about DUMBs, deep underground military bases today,” Marzulli said in a recent video. “There’s no doubt about it. We’ve had whistleblowers that have come out in the decades past talking about deep underground military bases. Bob Lazar hinted at some of this when he worked at Area 51.”
While acknowledging he cannot fully verify all claims, Marzulli points to confirmed underground infrastructure as evidence that such facilities are possible. “We know that underground bases are certainly a reality. How extensive are they? We don’t know. But is there weird stuff going on? In my opinion, there is weird stuff going on,” he said.
What Marzulli Believes Is Happening Underground
Marzulli connects the idea of DUMBs to biblical prophecy. “I believe that… it’s the days of Noah, which Jesus warns us about. And because of the days of Noah, there’s genetic tampering happening,” he said. “Where is that happening? In deep underground military bases. Is that conjecture? All day long. I get that. Can I vet that? No, I can’t.”
Citing history, Marzulli referenced Nazi Germany’s Peenemünde site and ancient Egypt’s subterranean shafts under the Giza Plateau as examples of civilizations carrying out major projects underground. “We know this has been done in antiquity and we know it’s being done in modernity,” he said.
Predictive Programming? Hulu’s Paradise
In the midst of renewed public interest in secret underground installations, the Hulu series Paradise presents a strikingly similar setting. The show is set in a city-sized underground bunker in Colorado three years after a doomsday event and follows United States Secret Service agent Xavier Collins as he investigates the killing of the president. While fictional, its premise echoes the themes Marzulli explores raising questions about whether such media could be a form of predictive programming.
The Bible warns that in the final days before Christ’s return, humanity will retreat to hidden places underground in a futile attempt to escape God’s judgment. Revelation 6:15–17 describes “the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich, the commanders, the mighty, every slave and free person” hiding “in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains” and crying out for the rocks to hide them “from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb.”
For Marzulli, the secrecy of underground bases combined with prophetic Scripture paints a sobering picture. While modern facilities may be built for military, governmental, or survival purposes, biblical prophecy suggests that in the end, such places will not be a refuge from divine justice.
“We live in a very strange world,” Marzulli said. “We have really no idea of what is really going on behind the scenes. Who’s in control? Who’s in control? We have no idea.”
