100 | Will the Spirit of Jezebel rear its head in the end times?
FOLLOW OUR PODCAST ON (search opentheword): PODCAST NOTES: Hi, my name is Dean Smith and in this podcast, I want to talk about the appearance of the Spirit of Jezebel in the end times. There is a theory circulating among those who study end-times theology, that as we near Christ’s second return we are going to see a revival of the ancient gods who once plagued Israel. This is the premise of Jonathan Cahn’s book, The Return of the Gods, where Cahn argues that we may not necessarily see Baal idols popping up around the world, but rather the spirits behind these idols will try to reassert themselves. Though these idols were typically manufactured out of wood, clay or stone to represent various gods, the Hebrews understood that there was more going on than just idol worship as there were demonic and evil spirits behind these gods. We read in Deuteronomy: “They stirred him to jealousy with strange gods; with abominations they provoked him to anger. They sacrificed to demons that were no gods, to …

When God healed Carlie Terradez of epilepsy
Having been divinely healed of epilepsy myself, this story about how God healed Carlie Terradez from this affliction caught my attention. Though my epilepsy was nowhere as serious as Carlie’s, I was having two to three epileptic seizures a month before God healed me. In Carlie’s case, her seizures were life-threatening. She started having the attacks and blackouts when she was 17 years old. When she had an epileptic seizure she had a 15-minute window when she needed to take her medication as failure to do so would spark a second attack, God TV reports. The road to her healing started when a friend invited Carlie to attend a Bible study. During her first meeting, the leader had a moment of silence, where people could listen to the Holy Spirit. Carlie who had never heard of this gawked at everyone who now bowed their heads. But during this brief interlude, God spoke to Carlie that if she gave her epileptic seizures to Him that she would be healed within two weeks. Carlie was uncertain if …

The Daily Mail’s ten most likely world-ending events
There has been talk in recent months about apocalyptic events that could lead to the end of the world. Some of it has undoubtedly been sparked by COVID and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In an article for the Daily Mail, Sam Tonkin recently discussed the ten most likely scenarios that could result in the end of humanity, from a secular and scientific point of view. Of course, the Bible also warns of a series of horrific apocalyptic events that would devastate the world leading to the second coming of Christ. With that as the theme, I want to provide a Biblical perspective on Tonkin’s ten world-ending events. Giant Asteroid Hits Earth The first world-ending devastation that Tonkin had on his list was a giant asteroid hitting the Earth. Of course, many believe it was an asteroid that selectively killed off every dinosaur, but somehow spared the life of other creatures. This idea has become such a serious concern that NASA and other space agencies are now monitoring our solar system for potential asteroids and recently …

Pages of a Bible ripped out as part of SatanCon’s opening ceremony
As we have previously reported, SatanCon was held this past weekend (April 28-30, 2023) in Boston, MA. Sponsored by The Satanic Temple, the sold-out event, was billed as the largest satanic gathering in history. Fox News reports that the event lived up to its billing. During Friday’s opening ceremony, one of the hosts ripped pages out of the Bible and threw them on the floor. While another ripped up a ‘Thin Blue Flag,’ which represented the police. According to the hosts, these two things were destroyed as part of SatanCon’s renunciation of “symbols of oppression.” Later, some members of the crowd who cheered as the Bible was destroyed, picked up the pages and took selfies with them. It also seems the event had a distinctly left-wing tinge to it. Fox News added this tidbit of information: The conference has been replete with numerous guest speakers and lectures, many of which were dedicated to far-left identity politics.

Cuban officials detain and interrogate 7-year-old girl for not being sufficiently communist
We are seeing children being attacked around the world, but perhaps the most blatant display was seen in Cuba, which has taken a sharp turn to the left due to the influence of Communist China. Communist authorities recently detained and interrogated the seven-year-old daughter of an anti-communist dissident to find out if she had sufficient communist revolutionary fervor. Breitbart provides more details: Communist state security officials in Camagüey, Cuba, detained and interrogated seven-year-old Katherin Acosta Peña on Thursday regarding her mother, dissident Marisol Peña Cobas, who faces charges of corruption of youth for insufficiently indoctrinating Acosta into communism. […] Police reportedly took away both Peña and Acosta and interrogated the child in a room separate from her mother. According to Peña, who spoke to the U.S.-based Radio Martí outlet afterward, a prosecutor, an official with the Ministry of the Interior, and a psychologist with the Ministry all interrogated the child.[…] Peña said her daughter told her that the interrogators asked her if her mother treated her well, the identity of her father, and if she …

99 | The Test
FOLLOW OUR PODCAST ON (search opentheword): PODCAST NOTES: Hi, my name is Wayne Johnston, and today on this podcast, I want to talk about the BIG Test. Anyone who has ever had to do a final exam in high school, college, university or tech school, knows how much fun they can be. Sick to your stomach. Headaches. Tired from cramming and OD’ing on Red Bull or coffee. But what if you were told you didn’t have to take your big final exam, and they just decided you were good enough that they were going to give you your diploma without it. Now I know personally of people who would say, ‘Wow’, I dodged a bullet and say thank you, and they would never look back. Me, maybe you, would always second guess yourself, and wonder if you really made it, if you are really well bona fide. Testing by God, may not be fun either, but it is never to destroy us, it is to prove us, even to ourselves, that we are well bona …

Israel’s red heifers will soon be of age to be sacrificed
Orthodox Jews were excited about the arrival of five red heifers in Israel last fall as they are a necessary step in preparing for the construction of a third temple in Jerusalem. CBN reports, that the excitement is mounting as the red heifers have still not developed off-color hairs, white or black, that would disqualify them for the ritual sacrifice. The ashes from the red heifer are used to purify the priests and since a sacrifice produces such a huge reservoir, there have only been 9 red heifer sacrifices in Israel’s history. The red heifers are being kept at a secured location in Israel and are between 1.5 and 2 years of age. They will not be sacrificed until they are three years old and will not be used if they become ritually impure by growing a single black or white hair. They will be inspected with a magnifying glass to ensure their purity. According to Rabbi Mamo, the Temple Institute already has what he described as “nine pure priests” who are ready to perform …
