More and more European leaders are talking about the medieval king Charlemagne. Yesterday, the Local published an article titled “How Charlemagne Was the Original Fighter for European Unity.” In today’s show, Trumpet contributing editor Richard Palmer examines how Charlemagne really brought about European unity and what it means for Europe today. Also covered on today’s show, is the pope’s visit to Panama for World Youth Day and his message against Donald Trump.
[02:20] America’s Middle Eastern Drawdown (23 minutes) Former U.S. President Barack Obama’s Middle East policy plunged the region into chaos: Iranian proxies rapidly gained territory and funding; strong leaders were deposed and nations descended into mob rule and civil war; America’s allies were abandoned. One Saudi official recently admitted his frustration about working with Mr. Obama, saying he “would promise something and then do the opposite.” The Trump presidency is really just making matters worse with its cut-and-run strategy. The U.S. is pulling out of Syria and handing over control of the war-stricken state to Iran and Russia. There are also plans to negotiate a peace agreement with the Taliban—yes, the Taliban—in Afghanistan. After years of fighting, the best solution America can muster is a compromise with a terrorist organization that is sure to violate its end of the deal once America leaves. This is not how victory is defined. [25:50] Democrat Party Too Radical for Billionaire Progressive (15 minutes) Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz is considering a presidential run in 2020. Although he is a lifelong Democrat, he plans to run as an independent because he thinks the Democratic Party has gone too far to the left. His main concern is how the Democratic Party plans to pay for all of its pie-in-the-sky entitlement programs. Where will the money come from for universal health-care coverage? Or free tuition? Even the most radical tax plans don’t come close to being able to fund these massive entitlement programs. [44:00] Lewis and Clark College Weighs in on Toxic Masculinity (10 minutes) Students at Lewis and Clarke College can now take a course on how to properly combat toxic masculinity. The irony! Lewis and Clark have to be two of the most masculine men in American history! I wonder what they would think of this new course offered at the educational institution bearing their names. In this segment, I talk about the Bible’s definition of true masculinity.
A tiny Chinese microchip may have infiltrated numerous American governmental and military systems, giving insight into how several specific Bible prophecies could come to pass.
[04:00] The Real Cause of World Trouble (10 minutes) What is behind the many disturbing headlines we see daily in the news? In his book Mystery of the Ages, Herbert W. Armstrong wrote, “[A]ll the evils and troubles in the world are caused by minds clashing with minds.” And what is the real cause behind those clashing minds? The invisible spirit world! Only with this fundamental knowledge can we begin to truly understand what is happening in our world today. [14:00] Media Circus (27 minutes) From Covington High School to Roger Stone to the new abortion law in New York, the mainstream media repeatedly show their main concern is not disseminating truth but rather politically driven narrative. Headlines and reports are designed to stir up emotion and obscure the truth! The Bible says we are living in a time when truth is cast to the ground. [41:00] Will Worship (12 minutes) As the Apostle Paul wrote in Colossians 2, we are living in an age of will worship. What does that mean and how does it affect you? Understanding this truth, as made plain in the Bible, is the only way to explain the chaotic state of our world today. [53:00] E-mail Feedback (4 minutes)
History is a neglected and scorned subject in schools today. This is a deadly mistake. Learn how God uses both secular and biblical history to steer the course of individuals and nations—next, on The Key of David, with Gerald Flurry.
God concluded the Old Testament with an inspiring message about the key of David—and about raising the ruins in our vast universe. It is far more relevant today than any time in mankind’s history! Request Gerald Flurry’s free booklet The Book of Chronicles for a master class in positive biblical history. Too many historians today focus on negative aspects of history to try to degrade certain individuals and nations that were largely good. In writing the biblical book of Chronicles, Ezra the scribe focused primarily on the positive aspects of David and his kingly line, which will endure all the way to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ as King of kings. In the original order of the Old Testament, Chronicles is the final book. It forms the perfect bridge between the Old and New Testaments—between the most important royal history and the vital prophecies of our marvelous royal future. Also request Gerald Flurry’s free book The Former Prophets—How to Become a King. The biblical books of Joshua, Judges, Samuel and Kings form a section of the Old Testament called the Former Prophets. These books record the stunning history of the biblical heroes from Joshua to David, and everyone in between. Their stories are better than any work of fiction. But this history is not just for your entertainment; it contains life-saving lessons for you! This is the most relevant kind of history—the history that is also prophecy. Learn how the course of history is altered by specific individuals, and how you can be a part of making history with God. All our literature is available free of charge, at no cost or obligation to you. Request Gerald Flurry’s writings The Book of Chronicles and The Former Prophets—How to Become a King. Order now!
