Will Europe Rediscover Its Christian Identity?

Many believe this bastion of secularism will never again embrace religion. History shows otherwise.

This Looks Like a Job for Superman!

Angela Merkel’s government is proving inadequate. For the right leader, this could be a terrific opportunity to seize control of Germany.

In a World Full of Enemies, America Can Only See One at a Time

On this day in 1991, Russian General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev did something many in the West thought would never happen: He announced that the Soviet Union would be dissolved. While this event helped bring an end to America’s longtime enemy, it did not bring an end to the spread of communism. The United States put the blinders on and moved forward. But now, less than three decades later, Russia is led by a man whose aim is to restore the Soviet Empire. Yet no one in America is ringing the alarm bells. On today’s show, Stephen Flurry discusses how America’s ignorance of its enemies is bringing down this once great nation.

• Critics of Donald Trump are really concerned about his nomination of Rex Tillerson for secretary of state—a man who they say is too cozy with Russia. What if U.S.-Russian relations improve? This could significantly alter the geopolitical landscape for a lot of nations.

• The civil war in yemen is getting worse—up to 10,000 people have been killed, 2.5 million people have been internally displaced. This is important to watch especially because of how it shows the larger battle for Middle East supremacy taking place between iran and saudi arabia.

• How does drinking alcohol affect your health? Does it increase your risk of disease or lower it? It turns out that it all depends on how much you’re drinking.

• And I’ll conclude the program with a few words about how to make sure you’re accomplishing the important things in life.

Was This Germany’s 9/11?

The German people are grappling with a choice between who they want to be and who they need to be. They want to be tolerant, nonjudgmental and multicultural. But, as yesterday’s terrorist attack in Berlin shows, Germans will naturally feel they may need to be more skeptical, confrontational and nationalistic. In today’s program, guest presenter Brad Macdonald considers the Berlin attack and some of its ramifications.

The Collapse of the Soviet Union and No More Delay

When the Soviet Union ceased to exist in 1991, the anti-Communist coalition wildly celebrated its stunning collapse. But as former chess champion Garry Kasparov pointed out in a recent opinion piece, authoritarian regimes are again thriving in the world of 2016. Some 2.7 billion people on Earth live under the tyrannical rule of a dictator. In Russia, the bloodthirsty Vladimir Putin has made great gains in his bid to restore the glory of imperial Russia! And this time around, there is no anti-Communist coalition resisting him. Many in the West even praise the likes of Putin for being strong and authoritative. For more on this distressing turn of events, listen to Stephen Flurry on today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.

The Middle East’s Forgotten Civil War

https://www.thetrumpet.com/article/14396.2.0.0/middle-east/the-middle-easts-forgotten-civil-war

The Bible identifies a Middle Eastern power, a king of the south, that gains significant influence over the Arabian Peninsula and North Africa. Iranian-led radical Islam is that power, and it will use its clout to terrorize other nations in the region and beyond. The Bible also identifies another Middle Eastern power, a group of nations that “confederate” for a common cause. Saudi Arabia and some of its fellow Sunni states will be part of that power. Everything is shaping up precisely as the Bible indicates. Mr. Flurry explains these developments in his booklet The King of the South. It’s free upon request.

“The Houthi takeover in Yemen proves that Iran is implementing a bold strategy to control the vital sea lane from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea,” Mr. Flurry wrote in his 2015 article. “We need to understand the gravity of this new situation in Yemen!”

Hidden Danger In Keeping Christmas? (2015)

   







Christmas is celebrated by billions of people around the world. So often in its observance, the theme of family togetherness, Jesus Christ, and goodwill toward men is overshadowed by commercialism, greed, and debt. Where did this holiday come from? It is meant to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ, but did you know that its origins go back long before Jesus was born? Traditions like Christmas trees, wreaths of holly, and Santa Claus have roots far more ancient than anything in the New Testament.

Learn about this history, and why you should be concerned about it—next, on The Key of David, with Gerald Flurry.

Christmas is America’s favorite holiday. Family togetherness and the life of Jesus Christ are both wonderful, but it is easy to spot the greed, materialism and debt caused by Christmas observance. Did God command Christmas observance? What are its origins? Who invented this day? Is December 25th even Christ’s birthday? 

Request our free booklet The Truth About Christmas to thoroughly answer these questions for yourself. Discover how this pagan holiday not only fails to glorify God, but actually causes mankind to doubt His power.

Many mainstream Christians realize the pagan origins of Christmas. They say it’s acceptable to turn this heathen custom into a day of Christian worship. But what does God say? Request our free booklet Pagan Holidays—or God’s Holy Days—Which? God specifies exactly how His people should worship Him.

It’s up to each individual human being to heed those instructions. Study Pagan Holidays—or God’s Holy Days—Which? to understand the choice all Christians must make between the traditions of man and the holy days of God. Discover the stunning symbolism wrapped up in God’s holy days.
