THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: From D. L. Moody’s Revival Halls To The Internet ‘Superhighway’
NTEB BIBLE RADIO: Rightly DividingShow Notes
D. L. Moody looked at the crowded cities of the nineteenth century and saw people who needed to hear the gospel. He used newspaper publicity, printed notices, and workers who went from house to house. Then he preached to packed halls, with thousands more trying to get in. Moody understood something every generation of Christians must understand: if you want to reach people, you must go where the people are. The message was the gospel of Jesus Christ; the streets, the press, and the great meeting halls were ways to put that message within their hearing.
“And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.” Luke 14:23 (KJB)
Now the crowds have gathered on another highway, the internet. The internet became the “information superhighway” of the 1990s, and today it reaches across borders at every hour of the day. That gives fresh force to the Lord’s words of “Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in”. Now obviously, Jesus was speaking of people, not technology. But if we are to go out after people, to be ‘fishers of men’ we cannot ignore a highway where so many of them now spend their lives. Yes, that highway carries sin, deception, and an endless flood of distractions. But that is precisely why it needs gospel witnesses on it. Put the King James Bible where a searching person can find it. Preach the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ where a lost person can hear it. DL Moody used the means of his day to reach cities; we have the means to reach the entire world. Let others count clicks and followers, but let us who believe remember why we went onto the highway in the first place – to call people to Jesus Christ while there is still time. TO THE FIGHT!!!

Something very strange is happening on the campaign trail as President Donald Trump crisscrosses America desperately trying to rescue Republican control of Congress in the upcoming midterm elections. With his approval ratings collapsing, the Iran war dragging on, and the American people increasingly frustrated by an economy that looks nothing like the promised Golden Age, the president has suddenly become fascinated with describing other men’s bodies, particularly Senator Jon Husted’s muscular backside, shoulders, legs and feet. Then there’s his continuing celebration of the Village People’s “Y.M.C.A.,” which he calls the “gay national anthem,” while telling audiences how much Melania hates watching him dance to it. But what if these increasingly bizarre performances are not simply Trump losing control of the narrative? What if they are helping him deliberately change it? Former Trump strategist Steve Bannon famously described a political technique called “flood the zone,” overwhelming the news media with a nonstop barrage of distractions and controversies until the important stories get buried beneath the spectacle. Pay no attention to that man behind the golden curtain.
The world is becoming accustomed to things that should be shaking it wide awake. Israel has raised its military readiness as violence continues in Gaza and the West Bank, while the confrontation with Hezbollah remains unresolved beneath Lebanon’s fragile ceasefire. Saudi Arabia is struggling to defend its airports and infrastructure against Houthi missiles and drones. Today, a Houthi missile attack reportedly killed at least 20 government troops in Yemen. Meanwhile, the confrontation in the Strait of Hormuz continues threatening the movement of oil through one of the world’s most important shipping routes. These conflicts reach far beyond the people directly under fire: disrupted supplies and higher prices carry their consequences into households thousands of miles away.

Watching Tesla’s new Roadster climb a ramp upside down, rotate in midair and land on its wheels feels like watching science fiction step off the movie screen. The demonstration is astonishing, and when you place it alongside AI’s growing ability to interpret information, plan tasks and operate machinery, the implications reach far beyond a new sports car. We are watching technologies converge that could reshape how people work, travel, communicate and make decisions. This is a vivid illustration of a world experiencing an extraordinary increase in knowledge. “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” Yet increased knowledge brings an ancient question roaring back into view: what happens when mankind’s growing abilities only serve its pride, and not the God that gave those talents? At Babel, human ingenuity became an instrument of collective self-exaltation to the point where the LORD stepped in to stop it. In the time that’s coming, He’s gonna just let it go and play out for 7 glorious, terrible years.
So much for the obliteration of Iran! For months, President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have been assuring the American people that Iran’s nuclear program was obliterated, its missile manufacturing capabilities destroyed, and its military machine crushed beneath the overwhelming firepower of the United States and Israel. Victory was declared, the speeches were made, and the White House celebrated what it portrayed as one of the greatest military achievements in modern history. But now comes a bombshell report from the Jerusalem Post revealing that Iran is not only rebuilding its ballistic missile and drone arsenals, it is actively fortifying its nuclear installations and preparing for the next war with America and Israel!
