Germany spent half a trillion dollars to become the world’s green energy superpower. Instead, they got the highest electricity prices in Europe, a dying industrial sector, and a grid that now relies on dirty coal to keep the lights on. How did the economic engine of Europe drive itself off a cliff? In this deep dive, we uncover the timeline of the Energiewende disaster. From the panic-induced shutdown of nuclear power plants to the fatal addiction to cheap Russian gas, we expose the policy failures that are forcing companies like BASF and Volkswagen to flee the country. Is this the end of “Made in Germany”? And what can the rest of the world learn from this expensive experiment?
Why doesn’t our current Minister for Climate Change and Energy in Australia, Chris Bowen learn from Germany’s $500 billion mistake?
The “seventieth week” comes from Daniel 9:24–27, one of the most important prophecies in the Old Testament. It is often called Daniel’s Seventy Weeks prophecy.
The Big Picture (Daniel 9:24)
God reveals to Daniel that 70 “weeks” (literally “seventy sevens”) are determined for the Jewish people and Jerusalem to finish six great purposes:
To finish the transgression
To make an end of sins
To make reconciliation for iniquity
To bring in everlasting righteousness
To seal up vision and prophecy
To anoint the Most Holy (or Most Holy Place)
Almost all scholars agree that these “weeks” are weeks of years = 70 × 7 = 490 years.
How the 70 Weeks Are Divided
Daniel 9:25–27 divides the 490 years into three parts:
Period
Length
What Happens
7 weeks (7 × 7)
49 years
Rebuilding of Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile (walls, streets, in “troublesome times”)
62 weeks (62 × 7)
434 years
From the rebuilt city until “Messiah the Prince” appears
1 final week
7 years
The 70th week – still future in most prophetic interpretations
Total so far: 7 + 62 = 69 weeks (483 years) are historically fulfilled.
The 69 Weeks (483 years) – Already Fulfilled
Starts with the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem (most scholars use the decree of Artaxerxes in 445/444 BC – Nehemiah 2:1–8, or sometimes 457 BC).
After exactly 483 prophetic years (360-day biblical years), the Messiah is “cut off” (killed).
This lands precisely on the time Jesus rode into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and was later crucified (circa AD 30–33).
So the first 69 weeks are fulfilled in the First Coming of Christ.
The 70th Week – The Missing Seven Years
After the 69th week, two huge things happen before the 70th week begins:
Messiah is cut off (crucified) and has nothing (rejected as king).
The city and temple are destroyed (fulfilled in AD 70 by the Romans).
Then there is a giant gap (the Church Age we are in now), and the prophetic clock for Israel stops.
The 70th week (the final 7 years) is still future. It begins when a coming prince (the Antichrist) makes/confirms a covenant with “many” (Israel) for one “week” (7 years).
What Happens During the 70th Week (Daniel 9:27 + other passages)
This final 7-year period is described elsewhere as:
The Tribulation (Matthew 24)
The Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:21).
The Rapture and the Wrath of God poured out with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements at the trumpet blast of the opening of the seventh seal at the start of the seventh year. The wrath of God is poured out for a period of one year and ten days, the same time as God poured out His wrath the first time with Noah’s flood. Why one year and ten days? The year before a Jubilee year is always one year and ten days (Revelation 6:16).
How the 70th Week Ends
At the very end of the 7 years:
Jesus returns visibly to earth (Second Coming)
The Antichrist and his armies are destroyed (Revelation 19:11–21; Zechariah 14)
Israel nationally repents and recognizes Jesus as Messiah (Zechariah 12:10; Romans 11:25–29)
The six purposes of Daniel 9:24 are finally and completely fulfilled in the Millennium

In short, the seventieth week of Daniel is a coming seven-year period, dominated by the Antichrist, cantered on Israel and a rebuilt temple, the Rapture and Wrath of God and ends with the return of Christ and the establishment of His Millennial Kingdom.

“Jacob’s Trouble” (also called “the time of Jacob’s trouble”) is a specific biblical phrase found in Jeremiah 30:7:
“Alas! For that day is great, so that none is like it; it is the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.” (NKJV)
Biblical Context
The entire chapter of Jeremiah 30 is a prophecy of hope given to Israel and Judah during their exile in Babylon. God promises:
To restore them from captivity
To break the yoke of foreign oppression
To bring them back to their land under their own king (ultimately fulfilled in the Messiah)
To heal and prosper them again
However, before this full restoration comes, Israel (referred to here as “Jacob,” using the patriarch’s original name) will go through an unprecedented period of suffering and distress.
Key Characteristics of “Jacob’s Trouble”
Uniqueness and Severity
“That day is great, so that none is like it” (Jeremiah 30:7) – it is unparalleled in history.
Jesus quotes similar language in the Olivet Discourse: “For then there will begreat tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be” (Matthew 24:21), linking the two passages.
Focused on Israel/Jacob
The trouble is specifically called “Jacob’s” (not the church’s or the world’s in general), indicating it primarily affects the Jewish people and the nation of Israel.
Other Old Testament passages describe the same period using different names:
“The indignation” (Isaiah 26:20; Daniel 11:36)
“The time of trouble” (Daniel 12:1)
“The day of the Lord”
“The seventieth week of Daniel” (Daniel 9:27)
“The great tribulation” (Matthew 24:21; Revelation 7:14)
Deliverance at the End
Jeremiah 30:7 ends with hope: “…but he [Jacob/Israel] shall be saved out of it.”
Daniel 12:1 says Michael the archangel will stand up for Israel, and “at that time your people shall be delivered.”
Zechariah 13–14 and Romans 11:25–29 describe Israel’s national repentance and acceptance of the Messiah at the end of this period.
In short, “Jacob’s Trouble” is widely understood in prophetic studies as the Bible’s term for an unparalleled future time of distress centred on the Jewish people, out of which God will ultimately deliver and restore a repentant Israel when the Messiah returns and establishes His Millennial Kingdom
The Bible reveals this Earth’s history is young, not billions of years old as the theory of evolution would lead us to believe. Despite there being billions of dead things buried whole throughout the world, which must have been buried quickly to be whole, as well, enormous amounts of fossil fuels formed from buried vegetation, the scientists of the world deny the Biblical flood of Noah’s day, because it does not align with their naturalist view of the world forming itself over billions of years. The Bible reveals that Noah’s flood was a catastrophic event that changed the entire geomorphology of the planet.
Biblical history reveals that Satan has had 6,000 years to rule over the Earth. Jesus will soon have 1,000 years to rule and reign with the glorified Saints, Satan and I assume his demons are bound during Jesus reign
“And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.” Revelation 20:2-3
Nevertheless, we are told Jesus and the Saints rule with a rod of iron during the Millennium as the curse is only partially lifted, mainly in Israel, so people are still being born, still sin, and die. Moreover, at the end of the Millennium, Satan is released and he still raises an army like the sand of the sea.
“And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison and will come out to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. And they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but fire came down from heaven and consumed them.”Revelation 20:7-9
Even with Jesus and the glorified Saints being on earth people will still rebel and like Satan and the demons will want to be God of their world. For more on Jesus Millennial Kingdom go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net.
Finally, after 7,000 years, this Earth’s history is complete and God destroys the Earth with fire, The second resurrection of the dead takes place before Jesus White Throne judgement. Only after the White Throne judgement does the apostle John see a magnificent and enormous new Jerusalem descending from a new heaven onto a new earth where only the righteous dwell with both our heavenly Father and Jesus.
Traditionalist view of damnation ‘doesn’t seem to fit’ Old Testament, says Kirk Cameron.
I am glad Kirk has realised Scripture does not teach eternal conscious torment for unbelievers. I came to this conclusion many years ago and have even wrote a book on the subject, Lake of Fire. It is available on Amazon as a Kindle edition for just $11.99.
The majority of denominational churches teach Eternal Conscious Torment but is this really what the Bible teaches? In the first five centuries, there were six known theological schools. Four of them taught that all men would eventually be rescued from Hell (Apocatastasis): these being the theological schools at Alexandria, Antioch, Caesarea, and Edessa/Nisbis. One school, Ephesus, taught Annihilationism (sinners are totally incinerated into nothingness in Hell). Only one theological school, Rome/Carthage taught eternal punishment. There is a case for presenting the early church fathers in the main believing God will eventually restore all mankind and that the Lake of Fire is restorative at least for mankind. However, it is difficult to know what they did with the second death which is in the lake of fire and is stated as the fate of the lost. “Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power,” Revelation 20:6a. I review all the scriptures on Hell and the views of respected Christian theologian such as John Stott, C.S. Lewis and others.
“Jesus died so that we could have eternal life. But do the wicked have eternal life in Hell? And if they do, why does the Old Testament describe the fate of the wicked in the opposite terms?” Cameron asked, pointing to references using words like “destroy,” “perish” and “death” when describing the fate of the wicked.
“The soul that sins, it shall die,” he said, quoting from the prophet Ezekiel. “It will perish. It will be destroyed, which is like the ending of life, not the ongoing life forever in punishment.”
He also pointed to history and the rise and fall of nations as an illustration of what he believes happens to those who die apart from faith in Jesus Christ. “When you look at God’s judgment upon individuals or on nations, cities, empires, He says they’re gone … The symbolism is scorched earth, destroyed, gone, and their name is remembered no more,” he said. “… And they’re not coming back. It’s like forever. Which really is a better description of dying, of perishing. Not being granted eternal life so that you can be tormented forever. That doesn’t seem to fit.”
Scripture reveals the Beast’s name, homeland, and where he is right now. Watch Nelson Walters video and learn the exact texts where the Bible has hidden this knowledge. This video was produced by Clarence Abbey of Nelson’s video team; and author of the Battle for Zion: The Coming of the King. It uncovers the prophetic timeline hidden across Scripture—from Daniel’s visions to Revelation’s warnings. This book explores the rise of the final empire, the ten kings of the end times, and the war that will surround Jerusalem. Through a layered study of Old and New Testament prophecies, it reveals how ancient texts are pointing to events unfolding today. Deep, bold, and thought-provoking. It is a timely call to understand the times, strengthen your faith, and prepare for the return of the King.
You need to prepare now to rule and reign with Jesus in His coming Millennial Kingdom. It is a transition period when God fulfils the covenant promises to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and David about the nation He established for His purposes. Jesus will rule the nations of this world from a transformed new Jerusalem and the glorified Saints will rule with Him. As the curse is only partially lifted people will still be being born, still sinning and dying so Jesus and the Saints will rule with a rod of iron.
“The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron,” Revelation 2:26-27
This video focuses on the great tribulation period. The 1260 days, 42 months, 3 1/2 years before Jesus returns. Following the abomination of desolation being set up, the Antichrist declares himself to be God. Initiating the time when all hell breaks loose for Jews and Christians. The Antichrist Head Quarters is Jerusalem for the 1260 days of the Great Tribulation. Find out which city is Babylon that is destroyed in one day?
When Jesus returns to rescue the nation He established for His purposes and sets up His Millennial Kingdom it will be in a magnificent new Jerusalem on the highest mountain in the world.
Go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net for more on all aspects of Jesus Millennial Kingdom. Saints, you need to prepare now to rule and reign with Jesus, The Bible is clear, Jesus and the Saints will be ruling with a rod of iron as people are still be being born, still sinning and dying in the Millennium.
The claims supporting the global climate reset have persistently lacked predictive validity, a necessary precondition in the physical sciences. Rarely has the modelling convinced; and the scare campaigns, such as the nonsense from media creation Greta Thunberg, are just public relations pantomime. It is increasingly obvious that the routine threats that “time is running out” are just cynical scare mongering.
Previously the fact that it was blatant deception did not matter because the climate proponents enjoyed the support of the financial institutions and governments, which meant reasonable debate was suppressed. They are losing that support.
Financial fads usually disappear with great speed as the money moves elsewhere. It will be slower with governments. They are deeply ideologically committed to net zero with a vast array of government regulations and funding for renewables, green government bureaucracies, local and global environmental organisations and agencies. They will not reverse this easily.
Sadly, cheap and stable energy is essential for any economy to survive, particularly for industry. now that robotics and AI are essential components. Moreover, Australia has heaps of natural gas, oil and coal. We should have the cheapest energy for our industry and peope of any country in the world. AI Data Centres and robotics require lots of energy that is consistent not like wind and solar. Who can predict when the wind will blow, and the sun shines only during the daytime with no heavy cloud cover. With robotics and AI Amazon warehouses operate 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
In the end, it is always about the money, and I believe the financial sentiment is turning. The markets are realising that the massive investment returns in renewables will never materialise. Moreover, wind turbines and the transmission infrastructure needed are an eyesore.
Undoing the economic damage will take time, but eventually reality will even filter down to Australian policymakers. But don’t expect any among them to take responsibility for their delusions and errors.
After six months of vacillating over whether or not they should simply ape the government’s energy policies, the Coalition has come up with an alternative. Instead of destroying the Australian economy in pursuit of Net Zero, hopefully they’re going to prioritise providing Australians with affordable power. Whether they have the people to formulate the right strategy and communicate it to the public is debatable.
Fortunately, Jesus Millennial Kingdom is not too far distant. Biblical end times prophecies are playing out now and we may be in the last seven years of Daniel’s 70 weeks prophecy. For Christians this is wonderful as we know God will rapture us to heaven before He pours out His wrath on an unrepentant world with the Trumpet (Revelation 8) and Bowl judgements (Revelation 16). Following the Trumpet and Bowl judgements Jesus and the glorified Saints return to rescue Israel at the battle of Armageddon. Jesus and the Saints will rule the world for 1,000 years so that God fulfils the covenant He made with Abraham and confirmed with Isaac, Jacob and David that Israel’s Messiah, Jesus will rule the nations of the world from a magnificent new Jerusalem. During the time God pours out His wrath upon the earth He reconstructs the geomorphology of the world so that Jerusalem is on the highest mountain in the world.
“The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nation’s fell, and God remembered Babylon the great, to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. And every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found.“Revelation 16:19-20
The millennial Jerusalem sits on the highest plateau and has two rivers flowing out of its east and west sides. The mountain’s great height emphasizes Jerusalem as the centre of world authority, for all the nations will flow to it. A totally new construct. The millennial Jerusalem is nine times larger than the current city. All the land of Israel round about Jerusalem, which was encompassed with mountains, but now these mountains shall become a plain.
We are living in a kairos moment — a window of divine opportunity — where crises and breakthroughs collide, giving birth to movements that will reshape how the body of Christ engages culture, makes disciples, and stewards the Kingdom.
In regions marked by severe religious persecution, traditional forms of evangelism and church planting are no longer viable. In response, many believers are turning to the marketplace as their new missional frontier. The workplace has become both pulpit and parish.
Instead of planting churches in hostile environments, believers are establishing businesses, launching startups, and taking jobs in strategic sectors where they can quietly model Christ and disciple others within relational networks. We are seeing a return to the early Church’s incarnational model (Book of Acts), where faith was embedded in daily life rather than confined to religious spaces.
This trend will accelerate as more nations adopt anti-conversion laws, and it will force the global church to equip people not only for Sunday worship but for Monday mission.
We are witnessing the decline of the franchise-faith model — where churches are built more like corporate chains than spiritual families. Next-gen seekers are disillusioned with plastic pulpits, formulaic worship, and celebrity leadership. They want authenticity, not algorithms. They’re not looking for another event — they’re longing for embodied community.
Mega-churches that function more like consumer service centers than missional movements will continue to be challenged by a rising generation that values transparency over trendiness and formation over performance.
In an age of rapid deconstruction, instability, and moral failure, people are no longer impressed by flashy services or influencer preachers. They are searching for churches with integrity, consistency, and strong governance.
The era of the one-man show is ending. Teams, shared leadership, accountability structures, and financial transparency will mark the future church. Leaders who fail to embrace best practices in governance and ethical standards will lose credibility — and ultimately, their flocks.
Perhaps the most unpredictable and unsettling trend is the exponential rise of AI technologies. Artificial Intelligence will challenge the Church’s understanding of consciousness, creativity, ethics, and even the definition of humanity itself.
We are fast approaching Jesus second coming, first, to rescue the Saints prior to pouring out His wrath upon an unrepentant world with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements and then returning to Earth with the glorified Saints to rescue the nation He established for His purposes, Israel at the battle of Armageddon.
Jesus will then institute His Millennial Kingdom to fulfil the covenant promises made to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and David when Israel’s Messiah, Jesus will rule the nations of the world from a magnificent new Jerusalem on the highest mountain in the world.

In John 14:6, Jesus declares, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” This message explores the exclusive claim of Christ against the backdrop of world religions and modern pluralism. Every faith system—Islam, Mormonism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Judaism—offers a different path to salvation, yet Scripture makes clear there is only oneway to the Father. Through this passage, we see: • Jesus as the Way — the bridge between sinful humanity and a holy God. • Jesus as the Truth — the full revelation of who God is and what is real. • Jesus as the Life — the only source of spiritual life and eternal assurance. This sermon exposes the insufficiency of man’s religion and the finality of Christ’s work on the cross. There are not many ways to God—there is one, and His name is Jesus.
If you want to serve with Jesus in His coming Millennial Kingdom, first you will need to be an overcomer during the coming tribulation when Christians will be persecuted for their faith in Jesus.
“Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and you shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” Matthew 24: 9-13
Then, Saints will be raptured at the trumpet blast at the opening of the seventh seal, prior to God pouring out His wrath upon an unrepentant world with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements. The wrath of God lasts one year and ten days the same time God poured out His wrath the first time during the flood of Noah’s day. Why one year and ten days? The year before a Jubilee year is one year and ten days long. The year following Jesus return to Earth will be a Jubilee year to start Jesus Millennial reign on Earth with the glorified Saints.

I have been blessed greatly by Dr James Tour. Just watch this video (25 minutes) and you will changed for the better. He has an amazing testimony.
Dr. James Tour emphasizes that Isaiah 41:10’s promise — “Do not fear … I will strengthen you … I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” — provides believers with lasting comfort, strength and assurance whenever life becomes overwhelming. He reminds Christians to trust God’s presence and power rather than giving in to anxiety or fear. It has worked for James Tour. It can work for you.
James Tour is an amazing scientist. He has been the facilitator for many start-up companies utilising new technologies. God wastes nothing, Jesus will use the talents that God has given to James Tour in His coming Millennial Kingdom. James will be in his new glorified body and he will be used by God to ensure new technologies are wisely used by business for the entire 1000 years of Jesus Millennial Kingdom.
