The account of Earth history that is currently popular in secular academia says that Earth’s surface has been shaped over billions of years by slow geological processes. But there is another, ancient, account of Earth history which says that its surface was shaped by a catastrophic, planet-wide flood—just a few thousand years ago. You might be surprised to hear that there are, in fact, many scientists who believe this latter account, maintaining that it is the best fit for a plethora of evidence from across the globe. In this interview, you’ll hear from one such scientist—geomorphologist, Dr Ron Neller—as he discusses five very famous landforms from around the globe, and how they bear witness to a recent global Flood.

WHAT IS THE AMERICAN DREAM?
There is a big difference between natural liberty and civil liberty, which is well known to those who study the political philosophy of the Puritans. Natural liberty, according to John Winthrop, the chief figure among the Puritan founders of New England, “is a liberty to do evil as well as to do good.” It is simply having the liberty to do whatever one desires, whether having a family, becoming a millionaire, or attending a Pride parade. “The exercise and maintaining of this liberty makes men grow more evil, and in time to be worse than brute beasts,” Winthrop warned. “This is that great enemy of truth and peace, that wild beast, which all of the ordinances of God are bent against, to restrain and subdue it.”
The American dream was spelled out in the Declaration of Independence: “It’s the idea that America would be a nation where all its citizens would be free to enjoy ‘Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness’ — as their Creator would allow them.”
Back in the time of the Puritans, the enjoyment of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness centred around traditional biblical values. The liberty Winthrop exhorted his listeners to practice was civil liberty, which simply meant the liberty to do what was right. “It’s a liberty to only do that which is good, just, and honest,” in Winthrop’s words. He believed moral and just laws derived from Scripture were the best tools to encourage citizens to religious liberty
The American dream has shifted from the idea of a happy and content family to the concept of corporate superiority and personal financial stability. The director of Family Research Council’s Centre for Biblical Worldview, David Closson, explained why this shift has happened. “In the last 25 years, the percentage of those with a consistent biblical worldview has continually declined. George Barna’s most recent research shows that only 4% of Americans have a biblical worldview,” Closson observed..
“The result today is a generation of young people who struggle for meaningful relationships, struggle at work, struggle to afford a home, struggle to find a spouse, and more,” Family Research Council’s Director of FRC Action, Matt Carpenter, said.
“They are powerless to do the one thing that can restore the American dream. That is, restore God to His proper place in the hearts and minds of every American. Only a national revival can actually restore the American dream.”
TWO LEADERS UNAFRAID TO EXPRESS THEIR LOVE OF GOD
This a great video showing first Netanyahu putting his prayer to God in the western wall before he initiated Operation Rising Lion and it shows him again 10 days later putting another prayer in the wall. This time he thanks God for the success of Israel’s Operation Rising Lion but also thanks God for bringing America in to complete the task with outstanding precision.
We then see President Trump give his address to the nation and the world the morning after America’s successful strike on all three of Iran’s nuclear sites with Midnight Hammer. He ends it with not only thanks to God but “we love you God“.
Do we realise what blessing these open acknowledgements of God and His goodness will bring to these two nations? It will also enrage Satan and his minions so please pray for these two men and the nations they lead.
WE ARE LIVING IN THE PROPHESIED END TIMES
Jonathan Cahn shares how in the 20th & 21st centuries, there has been the greatest falling away from the faith in human history, precisely as prophesied in the Bible for the years preceding Jesus’ return to restore righteousness. The technologies available today and the political events unfolding, particularly with the United Nations and the World Economic Forum, make the Mark of the Beast possible as never before.
How many people, even Christians, know what is next on God’s agenda for planet Earth? Until four years ago when God narrowed my focus to Jesus coming Millennial Kingdom, I, for one did not know how many Scriptures there are of Jesus ruling and reigning the nations of this Earth for 1000 years. My ministry is now built around the website http://www.millennialkingdom.net where you will find in depth information and resources on Jesus coming Millennium Kingdom.
God established Israel as His nation with the covenants He made with Abraham and reconfirmed with Isaac and Jacob. Moreover, all of Israel’s prophets beginning with Moses were told the end of the story when God would regather the Jews from the four corners of the Earth and that after a time of intense persecution by the Antichrist, Jesus would return to rescue Israel and set up His Millennial reign.
WHAT IS HAPPENING IN ISRAEL IS FULFILLING BIBLICAL END TIMES PROPHECY
Another excellent presentation by Jonathan Cahn showing us what is unfolding in Israel and in particular Jerusalem, is fulfilling end times Bible prophecy.
What is unfolding in the Gaza Strip by the Palestinians has been played out in the past by the Philistines. The Philistines were the people group that occupied the Gaza Strip when Israel went into the Promised Land. Satan is using the Palestinians just as he did the Philistines to destroy the Jews.
The invasion by Hamas on October 7th, 2025, shocked the world. But what if there was an ancient mystery lying behind it all, playing out before the world?
The UN passed a resolution today that demands Israel leave the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Golan Heights and Jerusalem within 12 months. This fulfils and end times prophecy in Zechariah.
“Behold, I am about to make Jerusalem a cup of staggering to all the surrounding peoples… On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. All who lift it will surely hurt themselves. And all the nations of the earth will gather against it.” Zechariah 12:2-3
WHY BELIEVE IN SOMETHING YOU CANNOT SEE?
“Science unequivocally requires that all things are composed of matter and energy. Therefore, immaterial substances—such as God or the human soul—cannot exist.”
However, science itself does not provide any substantiation for the premise. After all, if science can deal only with matter and energy, it can’t possibly show that other things can’t exist. Rather, this claimed requirement is a philosophical position called materialism, and there are substantial grounds for doubting it. ‘Materialism’ in philosophy doesn’t mean striving for material goods, but the belief that matter (or mass/energy) is all there is.
Immaterial Creator of the universe
Among the reasons for rejecting materialism are the compelling arguments that support the existence of an immaterial Creator of the universe. These include the design of living things, the fine-tuning of the universe for life, and the evidence that it has a finite age, among other arguments.
These features of reality are best explained by the biblical teaching that God is the Creator. If these arguments are successful, materialism fails.
Humans are more than mere machines
If materialism were true, humans would consist merely of organized matter, which we have reason to doubt. The renowned atheist Richard Dawkins eloquently articulates his perspective on human nature:
On one planet [Earth], and possibly only one planet in the entire universe, molecules that would normally make nothing more complicated than a chunk of rock, gather themselves together into chunks of rock-sized matter of such staggering complexity that they are capable of running, jumping, swimming, flying, seeing, hearing, capturing, and eating other such animated chunks of complexity; capable in some cases of thinking and feeling, and falling in love with yet other chunks of complex matter.
However, this materialistic perspective faces serious philosophical and scientific challenges. If humans are reduced to purely physical objects devoid of any immaterial aspect, it becomes exceedingly difficult to explain many basic truths about human beings.
Intrinsic value
The first of these is a person’s value. Physical objects have value only because we assign value to them. They are tools, not ends in themselves. Their value is extrinsic and dependent on changeable factors. Human beings, on the other hand, possess intrinsic value merely by virtue of being human, independent of external factors. We do not lose our value even if we lose significant capabilities—declining mentally or becoming comatose, to give a couple of examples.
Christians know that our intrinsic value comes from being made in God’s image We are not merely bodies but souls that can relate to God. Yet even non-Christians will often recognize the value of human beings, whether they recognize the source of that value or apply it consistently to all people.
Without intrinsic value, it would be hard to make sense of human rights, for example. We know it’s wrong to treat people as mere objects. But the evolutionary materialism of our age insists we have emerged unaided from animals, which originally arose randomly from simple chemicals. That means that people lack souls and do not bear the image of God. In other words, they can only be mere physical objects. In such a view, the intrinsic nature of our value cannot be accounted for.
First-person perspective
Second, physical objects lack a first-person perspective. They lack consciousness and self-awareness and are incapable of having a truly subjective point of view, using the self-reflexive pronoun ‘I’. Even complex computers and robots with artificial intelligence lack real awareness.
In contrast, human beings do possess a first-person perspective. We are conscious agents, capable of not only awareness but even self-awareness and the ability to articulate our point of view. It is difficult to explain this universal experience if humans are merely physical objects.
“DAILY, WE ENCOUNTER MENTAL STATES THAT CANNOT BE EXPLAINED BY BRAIN MATTER ALONE.”
Intentional mental states
Third, humans possess intentional mental states. ‘Intentionality’ is a technical term in philosophy that refers to the power of the mind to represent or refer to other things. That is, some mental states can be ‘of’ or ‘about’ something else. Whenever people think, believe, desire, fear, or wonder, they direct their thoughts toward a specific subject or concept. They may think about breakfast, or experience a fear of spiders, for example. Physical events by themselves are not ‘of’ or ‘about’ other things in that same sense, so what happens in our minds is not physical. Daily, we encounter mental states that cannot be explained by brain matter alone.
Human emotion and other ‘felt’ experiences
Fourth, when a person feels joyful, upset, or anxious, the brain is part of the neural circuitry that plays a role in giving that person such experiences. The brain itself, though, is not joyful, upset, or anxious; the person is. The brain is only a complex organ—a physical object with physical properties, similar in that sense to a computer. A computer might be programmed to say, “I’m sad”, but the computer would not really feel sadness. Emotions like happiness, sadness, and fear are not material entities. They can only be experienced by conscious, sentient creatures who have a non-material aspect to their being, like humans and many animals. This is evidence that we are not merely brains in bodies.
Brain research subjects
Empirical studies show results consistent with the above philosophical arguments. For example, pioneering neuroscientist Wilder Penfield conducted over 1,100 brain surgeries in which he stimulated areas of the brain while patients were awake, and noted their responses. He was able to induce bodily movements, sensations, emotions, and memories. But the patients invariably testified that the response was like a reflex, not an action they chose to do. Penfield found he could not stimulate their will. Also, he could not cause them to draw conclusions, make decisions, or even think abstract thoughts (about, say, mathematics). Such experiments suggest that it is the immaterial self which is ultimately responsible for these activities, rather than the physical brain.
IMAGE BEARERS
God developed and populated the earth, which was initially empty (“without form and void”), as described in Genesis 1:2. He executed this task with exceptional precision and skill, thereby establishing a magnificent stage upon which to showcase His most significant creative accomplishment, humankind. Not only did God reserve the best for last, but He also created humans in a manner that distinguished them from animals. According to Genesis 1:26, humans were created to have a unique relationship to God. This was accomplished through the divine plan (“let us make man”), the divine pattern (“in our image”), and the divine purpose (“let them have dominion”). The attribute of being in the image of God (imago Dei) is not merely bestowed by God and retained by humans. It is what gives people special value (Genesis 9:6; James 3:9), and it is part of God’s design for human beings, who were specifically created to represent God on Earth and reflect many of His attributes.
WHY EVOLUTION CAN’T WORK
The giant tortoise, the bowhead whale, and the Greenland shark are three of the longest-lived vertebrates. As we will see, the facts about them make the evolutionary narrative even harder for materialists to justify.
The oldest living tortoise in the world, called Jonathan, is believed to have hatched from an egg in 1832, though that is only an estimate. That makes him about 193 years old (in 2025), and he is thought to be the oldest living land animal.
What does such longevity mean for belief in the evolution narrative? If animals are able to sow their genetic information into the gene pool over hundreds of years, with lengthened generations, then it would only increase the difficulty for evolution to occur. Famous evolutionary biologist J.B.S. Haldane (1892–1964) pointed out that larger, slow-breeding vertebrates, such as cattle, cannot hope to pay the cost of neo-Darwinian evolution through random mutations and natural selection.
The cost (i.e., of substituting a gene) may be stated as follows. Consider a breeding population in which a supposedly beneficial mutation arises. For that mutated gene to spread to become dominant in the population, a large number of individuals without that mutation must first die (in that and succeeding generations) without leaving offspring. Haldane’s ‘working number’ for these deaths was 30 times the population size.
Four factors that can lower the number of such deaths are higher selection pressures, higher mutation rates, faster population turnover, and smaller populations. Haldane cited a theoretical low of around 10–20 times the population size. But he said it could be higher than the 30 he used in his calculations, in rare circumstances, even as high as 100. Nonetheless, 30 is generally taken as a reasonable estimate for most situations.
This theoretical cost is grossly unrealistic; for a population of only 1,000 animals, it would mean 30,000 nonreproductive deaths must first happen over time. This is an unacceptable cost for the species to bear. And for larger populations, the number of such deaths would be higher still. This long-recognized problem is known as Haldane’s Dilemma. And there is no solution in sight.
There is also another issue to consider, called Peto’s Paradox. Large vertebrates have many more cells than small animals, which suggests a higher risk of mutations in body cells (called somatic mutations, which are not inherited). Also, the longer a creature lives, the higher the chance of the DNA in an individual cell mutating. Such mutations can lead to cancer and early death. So, the larger, longer-lived vertebrates should have a greater risk of cancer.
But the evidence is the reverse; it would seem they actually have a lower risk of cancer, perhaps due to one or more effective DNA repair mechanisms. The presence of cell repair mechanisms is actually evidence of design, not evolution. Slow-breeding animals such as the bowhead whale are evidently not dying young through disease, further reinforcing the dilemma that Haldane highlighted.
Another problem is why natural selection (i.e., differential reproduction) over millions of hypothetical years would ever cause such longevity to evolve. There is no reproductive advantage, as evolution requires, for a mutation that keeps a creature alive long after it has stopped reproducing.
END TIMES PROPHECIES BEING FULFILLED
Glenn Beck Podcast with Max Lucado
I was so pleased to see Max Lucado spend time on what is next on God’s agenda for planet Earth. It is Jesus Millennial Kingdom. This Earth has another 1000 years before God destroys it with fire. The curse is not lifted so people are still being born and dying. If you want to know what the PURPOSE of Jesus Millennial Kingdom is then I suggest you got to http://www.millennialkigdom.net, click on RESOURCES and then on PURPOSE.
This is an engaging interview: Glenn Beck is obviously struggling with the end-times events that are unfolding. Max Lucado is very sympathetic to Glenn’s position and his answers to Glenn’s questions make for a captivating and instructive interview.
WHY PENNY WONG AND ANTHONY ALBANESE GOT IRAN-ISRAEL CONFLICT SO WRONG
It is almost impossible to grasp the true nature of the Iran-Israel conflict if you do not understand religion.
While analysts pontificate about geopolitics, military strategy, and nuclear ambitions, the conflict is not really about any of those things.
At the heart of what’s going on lies a deeply religious and ideological struggle – particularly from the Iranian side.
It’s important to understand that the Islamic Republic of Iran is not merely a nation-state. It is a theocratic regime founded on the belief that politics must serve a divine mission.
Return of the Mahdi and Annihilation of Israel
Central to the Islamic Republic of Iran’s mission is the Shia concept of wilayat al-faqih – clerical rule until the return of the Mahdi, also known as the twelfth Imam.
Iranian leaders believe that global injustice, including the existence of Israel, delays the Mahdi’s return.
When you understand that, you understand how the Iranians view Israel. Israel is not just a political enemy – it is a theological offence.
The Jewish state’s presence in what Iran considers Islamic lands is viewed as a religious desecration that must be dealt with before the Mahdi can be revealed.
If you’re thinking this makes Penny Wong’s calls for “dialogue” rather childish, you’d be spot on.
Negotiation is exceptionally difficult, bordering on impossible, since the conflict is not merely over borders, but over prophecy, purity, and divine destiny.
If you are ignorant, wilfully or otherwise, of the religious dimension to this conflict, then it is easy to misread Iran’s motivations as irrational or purely strategic.
But within its own religious worldview, Iran’s posture toward Israel is not just logical – it is sacred.
Without understanding that, any diplomatic approach is hopelessly naive.
In fact, without understanding religion, it is almost impossible to understand messages the Iranian and Israeli leadership are sending to each other.
Benjamin Netanyahu Refers to Cyrus the Great
Let’s start with the Israeli PM’s reference yesterday to the Persian King Cyrus the Great.
Benjamin Netanyahu made a speech broadcast to the Iranian population in which he said…
“Cyrus freed the Jews, and today the Jewish state might free the Persians. Not in the sense that we’re doing it for them. In the end, they have to rise up themselves, but we are creating the conditions. And that’s why it could be consequential.”
King Cyrus is renowned for liberating the Jews from Babylonian captivity in 539 BC.
Unlike previous rulers, Cyrus allowed conquered peoples to return to their homelands and practice their religions freely. He issued a decree permitting the Jews to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the Temple.
This act earned him lasting praise in Jewish tradition; he is even referred to as the “anointed one” in the book of Isaiah.
The Lord says this to Cyrus, his anointed,
whose right hand I have grasped
to subdue nations before him
and disarm kings… (Isaiah 45:1)
So in June 2025, Israel’s PM is reminding Iranians of what one of their great leaders did more than 2500 years ago, and saying he is now returning the favour.
Netanyahu sees himself as a historic figure, repaying the kindness of a Persian lionised in the Bible.
He will precipitate the liberation of Iranians held in captivity by the Ayatollah, even as Cyrus precipitated the liberation of Jews held in captivity by the Babylonians.
Ayatollah of Iran Refers to Ali ibn Abi Talib
Meanwhile, the Ayatollah also released a statement yesterday.
On Twitter, he wrote, “the battle begins” and posted a picture showing a man walking into a fortress as streaks of fire light the sky.
The caption read: “All returns to Kybhar”
The statement is a reference to the first imam of Shia Islam who lived 600 years after Christ.
Ali ibn Abi Talib, a cousin and son-in-law of Muhammad (work that one out) was supposedly miraculously healed of blindness so that he could fight the Jews in hand-to-hand combat.
He killed Jews and made those who remained subject to heavy taxes.
The Ayatollah claims to be the modern day equivalent.
The contrast, then, between Netanyahu and the Ayatollah is stark. One claims to be the modern day liberator. The other boasts of being a modern day killer and oppressor. Both use religious history to illustrate their intentions.
I say again, if you’re unfamiliar with religion, you’ll miss so much of what is really going on in this conflict.
And that, of course, explains the Albanese Government’s position.

LIVING ETERNAL NOW
