After Texas refused to comply with a Supreme Court ruling to allow Border Patrol agents to a park in Eagle Pass, the White House announced a freeze on the sale of liquefied natural gas, which amounts to economic sanctions on Texas—but it also threatens the energy security of our NATO allies in Europe, which have replaced some of the natural gas it imported from Russia with LNG from the US.
Also: Yemen effectively blockades Suez Canal (except to Russian and Chinese shipping); Türkiye drops opposition to Sweden in NATO (and gets new F-16s); US federal debt growing faster than GDP; and the influence of Inanna and Molech.

]]>NEW YEAR’S DAY brought unexpected excitement to Miami: Dozens of police officers responded to a call of teens fighting and setting off fireworks at a mall. The incident has gone viral as a video on social media claims to show a 7-to-10 foot tall “alien” skulking near the police cars.
As with anything spectacular that draws public attention, like the publication of a certain list this week (which contained nothing we didn’t already know), we look at the other hand to see what we’re not supposed to notice.
It could be the situation at the US-Mexico border, where Customs and Border Protection processed—meaning “released into the country, probably with cash, a phone, and a notice to appear for an asylum hearing in three years”—more than 300,000 illegal migrants during the month of December, a new record. There are now more illegals entering the United States than new babies born to US citizens.
The distraction may also be to draw our attention away from the global economy, which is about to take a hit from Yemen effectively cutting off access to the Suez Canal. Operation Prosperity Guardian, the American mission to protect cargo ships in the Red Sea, has failed, and about 10–12% of global trade is now being routed around the southern tip of Africa, adding cost and two to three weeks to shipping time.
We also discuss a growing movement in Iran to reject Islam as “an Arab religion.” This is a nationalist movement that wants to bring back Zoroastrianism, the worship of Ahura Mazda, but it is also opening the door to the gospel.

]]>We call this program P.I.D. Radio because we see our mission as Peering Into Darkness so we are not ignorant of the enemy’s designs. That enemy, as Paul wrote to the church at Ephesus, is not human, but supernatural, intelligent evil—principalities, powers, thrones, dominions, archons, and “cosmic rulers over this present darkness.”
The city god of Gaza in the time of Jesus was called Marna (or Marnas), identified by scholar Edward Lipiński as Dagon, chief god of the Philistines as far back as the time of the Judges in Israel. Dagon, or Dagan, was the chief deity of the Amorites along the Euphrates River dating back to the mid-3rd millennium BC, and under the names Enlil, Assur, Kumarbi, Milcom (Molech), Baal-Hammon, Kronos, and Saturn, was believed by pagans to be the father of the gods from the beginning of recorded history well into the Christian era.
As Derek wrote in The Second Coming of Saturn, we believe this entity was the leader of the rebellious sons of God in Genesis 6, named Shemihazah in the Book of 1 Enoch. He is the angel of the bottomless pit—the Destroyer, Abaddon/Apollyon.
That being the case, the horrors of the last seven days should make more sense.

]]>As of this recording, more than 100 Israelis are dead and another 900 injured. The Israeli government reports that Hamas terrorists have been engaged in 22 communities in southern Israel.
This is a fluid situation, so there is no breaking news here, but we try to make sense of this in light of world events and Bible prophecy. Is this the beginning of a Psalm 83 war, or could it be another front in the early days of World War III?
We know this: The fallen realm wants control of Jerusalem, and specifically the Temple Mount. However the current situation unfolds, the final battle of the age, Armageddon, will be fought there.
Until then, just remember Psalm 82:4–6:
He who sits in the heavens laughs;
the Lord holds them in derision.
Then He will speak to them in His wrath,
and terrify them in His fury, saying,
“As for Me, I have set My King
on Zion, my holy hill.”
