Two historic churches in Mosul, Iraq, have officially reopened after years of restoration, nearly a decade after their destruction during the Islamic State’s occupation. The reconsecration ceremonies marked a rare moment of revival for the region’s dwindling Christian population. Hundreds of worshippers gathered for the reopening and consecration ceremonies, attending prayers amid the rebuilt halls.
The Saint Thomas Syriac Orthodox Church dating back to the 7th century, and the Al-Tahira Church of the Chaldeans which was built in the 18th century, were both inaugurated following their reconstruction which came as part of the “Revive the Spirit of Mosul” initiative, launched in 2018, by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the Iraqi authorities. Reconstruction efforts for the churches began in 2023.
Fadi, a 27-year-old Christian from Mosul who trained for three years to help the restoration project, told Vatican News that the reopening’s are “a sign of hope” for displaced Christians. “It shows the Christians living abroad that things are better here now, that they can move back home,” he said.
Mosul’s Christian population, once 14% of the city, has now shrunk to fewer than 60 families in a city of nearly 2 million, reports the Catholic non-profit media outlet Zenit.
“These churches are not just stones. They are the memory of faith, history, and community,” Archbishop Najeeb Michael Moussa, the Chaldean bishop of Mosul, was quoted as saying after the ceremony.
The restoration, he added, showed that “faith can be wounded but not extinguished,” and that each bell strike “calls not only the faithful, but the future.”
Teams first cleared mines and explosives from the sites before beginning reconstruction. Among the carefully restored features was the 13th-century alabaster door of Saint Thomas, carved from local marble known as farsh and depicting Christ with the twelve apostles.
Church bells cast by the Cornille Havard foundry in Normandy now ring out again over Mosul. The same foundry restored the bells of Notre-Dame de Paris, Zenit notes.
Inscriptions on the bells include the phrases “The truth will make you free” and “Peace I leave you, my peace I give you.”
Biblical end times prophecies tell us that the nations around Israel will come against Israel in a war that only God’s intervention saves them.
“The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, turn your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy against him and say: This is what the Lord God says: Look, I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws, and bring you out with all your army, including horses and riders, who are all splendidly dressed, a huge company armed with shields and bucklers, all of them brandishing swords. Persia, Cush, and Put are with them, all of them with shields and helmets; Gomer with all its troops; and Beth-togarmah from the remotest parts of the north along with all its troops — many peoples are with you… On that day when My people Israel are dwelling securely, will you not know this and come from your place in the remotest parts of the north — you and many peoples with you, who are all riding horses — a mighty horde, a huge army? You will advance against My people Israel like a cloud covering the land. It will happen in the last days, Gog, that I will bring you against My land so that the nations may know Me, when I show Myself holy through you in their sight… Now on that day, the day when Gog comes against the land of Israel” — this is the declaration of the Lord God — “My wrath will flare up. I swear in My zeal and fiery rage: On that day there will be a great earthquake in the land of Israel… The mountains will be thrown down, the cliffs will collapse, and every wall will fall to the ground. I will call for a sword against him on all My mountains” — the declaration of the Lord God — “and every man’s sword will be against his brother. I will execute judgment on him with plague and bloodshed. I will pour out torrential rain, hailstones, fire, and brimstone on him, as well as his troops and the many peoples who are with him. I will display My greatness and holiness, and will reveal Myself in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am Yahweh… Then the nations will know that I am Yahweh, the Holy One in Israel. Yes, it is coming, and it will happen.” This is the declaration of the Lord God. “This is the day I have spoken about.” Ezekiel 38:1-6, 14-16, 18-19, 20-23
Context: Gog and Magog lead a coalition including Persia (modern Iran), Ethiopia, Libya, Gomer, and Togarmah (often linked to regions in modern Turkey or Central Asia). These nations come against Israel in a future battle.
Divine Intervention: Ezekiel 38:18–23 and 39:1–6 describe God’s wrath against these nations, with supernatural events (earthquakes, pestilence, fire) destroying the invaders, ensuring Israel’s deliverance.
Columbia University professor ( an adjunct professor in the Writing Program at School of the Arts) Brenda Wineapple’s goal in writing Keeping the Faith (faith in evolution) appears to be to present William Jennings Bryan (and creationists in general) in the worst possible light. Consistent with this, she also strives to present evolutionists (in this case, the atheist/agnostic Clarence Darrow in the best possible light. The author succeeds marvellously in achieving both. The author undertook an enormous amount of research, as evidenced by the 58 pages of references in her bibliography section. Sadly, her book is also widely successful, being rated number nine in its category on Amazon and earning 386 ratings, 92% of which are very positive and 22 reviews as at 14 July 2025. On Goodreads, the book has 710 ratings, 85% of which are very positive and 120 reviews as at 14 July 2025. It is in 721 libraries.
With so many people in the USA wedded to evolution including many who believe they are Christians, and the fact we are in the Biblical prophesied last days before Jesus returns when persecution of Christians escalates a Christian revival is unlikely. However, there is no doubt that God has given the USA a reprieve with the election of Donald Trump and the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk has seen a significant turning to God by university students and Gen Z.
Wineapple has cherry-picked thousands of pages to present William Jennings Bryan as a white supremacist—a position Bryan openly condemned in writing. She mentions Bryan in conjunction with the KKK fully 39 times, such as the claim that “Bryan from the pulpit preaches the domination of Christ; in politics, he practices Ku Kluxism and white domination, the bulwarks of which are lynching, murder, rape, arson, theft, and concubinage.” As one reviewer of Keeping the Faith stated: “Bryan gets a lot more attention [than Darrow] and it is mostly to denigrate him as a racist Christian fundamentalist … . She spends way too much time on the Ku Klux Klan when they do not figure at all in the Scopes Trial. They seem to be in the book because [she claimed] they align significantly with Bryan’s views, but Bryan was not in the KKK … . In fact, Bryan’s beliefs were over half a century ahead of the civil rights movement. In the magazine he edited, The Commoner, Bryan frequently wrote about his strong support for black civil rights. None of Bryan’s support for civil rights for blacks made it into Wineapple’s book!
Neither does she ever mention that all of the evidence the scientists submitted in support of evolution (which was included in the transcript of the trial) has been fully refuted. Piltdown Man has been exposed as a forgery. Java Man consisted of only a skull cap, a portion of femur and two teeth, not all of them closely associated with each other. The femur portion is indistinguishable from that of a gracile (‘modern’) human, or a robust human such as Homo erectus. The skull cap was more than once thought to be that of an extinct ape, but is now generally acknowledged to be that of a robust human, i.e., H. erectus, consistent with the teeth found.
ronically, Wineapple acknowledges that evolution is based on instances of damage to the DNA code, called ‘mutations’. Evolution teaches that humans are the result of billions of such genetic mistakes. However, most mutations are either deleterious or near-neutral. They do not add viable information, which is what evolution requires. Instead, many of those mutations that are not repaired (99.9% are repaired) cause diseases, including cancer. They do not take you from GOO to YOU.
Much information regarding the supreme value of academic freedom is covered by Wineapple, but she ignores the fact that, as a result of the Scopes Trial and its progenitive precedents, the American courts have ruled that it is illegal to present information against the evolutionary worldview and in favour of the creation worldview. Consequently, only information in favour of the evolutionary worldview and against the creation worldview can be taught without risking termination. This is not education, but indoctrination. Wineapple’s book serves to strongly support this one-sided brainwashing, which will significantly worsen the situation concerning the importance of academic freedom.
The Cass Report (Dr Hilary Cass spent four years looking into the gender services in England), which found that transgender medicine was “based on shaky foundations” caused the world’s largest gender clinic, Tavistock’s Gender Identity Development Service to close its doors for good on 31 March, 2024 and yet in Queensland, Australia Dr Jillian Spence a Queensland doctor was stood down for protecting children against trans ideology.
After twenty years of working for Queensland Health, Dr Spence said, she spoke out because she saw kids, as young as 12, distressed about their gender, thinking they are trans, being fast-tracked to dangerous and irreversible medication. The system is set up to instantly agree with the child, affirm the child’s claimed gender identity, and medicate the child. This medication isn’t like an aspirin. These are puberty-blocking drugs (to stop normal puberty) and then opposite-sex hormones (to change how their bodies develop so that they look like the opposite sex).
Dr Spence said, “The system did not allow us to stop and ask why these children were distressed, or to properly assess their mental health. We couldn’t even investigate whether medical conditions or past trauma were shaping their state of mind.”
Her warnings were silenced
She warned that these drugs carry permanent risks and that children are too young to make such decisions. I was looking at it clinically and knew that if anyone was to proceed with this treatment, it should only be after careful, whole-child assessment and long, honest consultation, because the stakes are huge: infertility, loss of sexual function, and lifelong medical problems. These treatments are irreversible. But the hospital didn’t debate the evidence; it moved to silence dissent. I was given a “lawful direction”: always affirm the child, use their preferred pronouns, and refer them to the gender clinic (where they would be medicated). Where I could, I complied, using names to avoid pronouns, but clinically, I couldn’t in good conscience let it go. Then, after a single 20-minute review with a distressed teenager, a complaint landed.
In April 2023, I was stood down as “a danger to trans and gender-diverse children“. What followed was a barrage: four separate show-cause notices, investigations for speaking out, and, now, as of last month, a letter with a disciplinary plan of termination from my role as a child and adolescent psychiatrist at Queensland Children’s Hospital. Along the way, I’ve been accused of being a danger not just to patients, but to colleagues, for criticising them for providing healthcare according to a model that I believe harms children. I’ve been told to keep quiet. But I want you to know the truth in plain words:
This is not about professional freedom in the abstract.
This is a child protection issue.
I spoke up because vulnerable, lonely, mentally unwell kids were being funnelled into life-altering interventions without being properly assessed.
This is civilisation throwing off all restraint, saying no to absolutes, and repudiating God’s authority over human affairs as prophesied at the time Jesus returns to restore righteousness.
October 28th, 2025, psychiatrist Dr Jillian Spencer says her termination from the Queensland Children’s Hospital has been placed on hold after she launched a Supreme Court challenge against Queensland Health, arguing her sacking breached her constitutional and human rights.
Dr. Michael Weis uses five main texts (Daniel 9:24-27, Matthew 24:15-31, Joel 2:30-32, 1 Thessalonians 4:13–5:11, Revelation 6:12-17) to systematically build the case for the Pre-Wrath Rapture position, while giving us the tools to explain it to others. Even if you don’t embrace this view, you need to know what those who hold to it believe. Learn how to tell others about the Pre-Wrath Rapture in the Studio Elective, “An Easy Way to Explain the Pre-Wrath Rapture Position.”
As those who follow my blog will know I support the PreWrath rapture position and I am pleasantly surprised now at the number of Biblical scholars that are posting on PreWrath. Dr Weis does a good job of covering all the relevant Scriptures.
David Rosenthal gives evidence of a rapture position that may surprise you. He systematically explores Matthew 24 and the 7 Seals of Revelation. He then gives evidences and a Scriptural basis for select events tied to the return of Jesus in, “6 Proofs of a Pre-Wrath Rapture.” Most of my followers would know that I hold the PreWrath Rapture position and came to it largely due to Dr Nelson Walters and I strongly recommend his YouTube channel.
Jonathan Cahn reveals that the release of the hostages from Gaza is part of God’s timing, that fits perfectly with His appointed times, Hoshana Rabah (the final day of divine judgement). Could Moses be behind it? And could it be connected to the Messiah? It is amazing the timing of the invasion and the timing of the captives release tie into God’s timing, the appointed days of God.
Christian author and apologist Dr Augustine Samaan was detained in early October. His only crime? Criticising Islam.
Samaan’s social media presence is unashamedly Christian. Much of his content contains a defence of Christianity and discussions about Christians who’ve left Islam. According to Samaan’s social media accounts, he is a well-schooled theologian.
While personal information about him is scarce, Samaan’s YouTube page states he is dedicated to preaching the reliability of the Gospel. He describes himself as an ecumenical clerical deacon (reader and teacher), who is enthusiastic about engaging in “defensive and offensive theology in both Arabic and English.”
On a more personal note, Samaan’s “theology channel” is also dedicated to his mother, who, Samaan said, “planted in him the love of Jesus Christ.” This was, he added, “despite all the internal and external wars and persecutions.” The self-titled channel has over 1 million views, hosts 7,400 videos, and enjoys over 106,000 subscribers.
Reasons for his dubious “defaming Islam” arrest could be directly related to content shared two weeks ago. In one video he describes as funny, he shared audio of “a Muslim teaching an attempt to raise doubts about the Bible.” The second video appears to be excerpts from a much longer StreamYard debate about Islam from last year. Samaan’s last post featured a short from that debate in which he calls Islam’s tolerance for child marriage criminal. Particularly, Muhammad’s marriage to Aisha. To recount, Aisha was six years old at the time, and Muhammad consummated that marriage when she was nine. In the debate excerpt (posted twice, once in English and Arabic), Samaan argued that Muhammad’s child bride contradicted Egyptian and International law. Under those laws, Samaan declared, Muhammad had committed a crime.
Christian oppression in Egypt continues to worsen. Kidnappings, false imprisonments, and forced disappearances are at least a weekly occurrence. The latest is 18-year-old Bola Adel Naguib. Naguib was forcibly disappeared (secretly arrested) the week before last on suspicion of preaching Christianity and insulting Islam. Egyptian intellectual, Magdy Tadros, told Bassam Sam, owner of the YouTube channel Free Thought, that Naguib’s disappearance was probably due to his contact with Said Mansour Rezk. Rezk was arrested as a terrorist in August for converting to Christianity and criticising Islam.
“And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering.” Daniel 9:27
Trump and Netanyahu have just completed a seven year Peace Plan for Gaza that closely mirrors Daniel 9:27. Are we about to enter the last seven years of Biblical end times prophecy? The proposed security measures bring to mind the Mark of the Beast.
