Daniel’s 70 weeks prophecy is one of the most fascinating, powerful, majestic, and amazing prophecies of the Messiah – Jonathan Cahn opens up the mysterious Seventy Sevens of Daniel, the exact mathematical countdown to the coming of Messiah, and some surprising revelations hidden in the original language. Jonathan’s presentation is the best explanation of this amazing prophecy I have ever heard. The exact timing is a countdown of the Messiah’s coming given to Daniel. Proof the Bible is God’s Word to mankind. It provides the only true history of the Cosmos and its proof is fulfilled prophecy.
AUSTRALIAN INSOLVENCIES ROAR TO WORST SEPTEMBER QTR. ON RECORD
11,000 businesses went into insolvency in the 2023/2024 period. Corporate insolvencies are at fresh highs after the worst start to any financial year on record as a deterioration in the economy coupled with a crackdown on unpaid tax by the Australian Taxation Office forces the closure of more businesses.
Recent months have seen a tripling in debt recovery action undertaken by the ATO as it pursues unprofitable small businesses given reprieve during the pandemic years and are now unable to pay tax bills. Industry watchers say there is grave concern for the hospitality sector, which is ground zero for fallout from the cost-of-living crisis.
Figures from the Australian Securities & Investments Commission show there were 3631 insolvency appointments in the September quarter, a 45.5 percent increase from the same period in 2023.
This September quarter had the highest rate of external administration and controller appointments since ASIC records began in the late 1990s, surpassing the previous high in 2012 when 2961 businesses went under following the global financial crisis.
Rex was the biggest casualty after the airline entered voluntary administration in July, owing $500m, and subsequently culled its Boeing 737 fleet. Administrator EY has yet to find a buyer.
EY strategy and transaction partner Morgan Kelly said businesses were squeezed by softening revenue as a result of the cost of living, higher input costs, and increasing interest rates lifting debt repayments.
Accommodation and food services insolvency appointments grew at a faster rate of 109 percent from 339 to 709 in the quarter. This included The Beston Global Food Company, which was placed into voluntary administration last month.

Australia like most Western nations has ejected God out of all aspects of life so it will continue to come under God’s judgement. What is unfolding in the world fits with Biblical end-times prophecies so we should not be surprised but rejoice that Satan’s time of deception is drawing to a close. Nevertheless, we need to take Jesus’ warning seriously about endurance and allow the Holy Spirit to direct our every step.
“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:9-14
USA DEBT BURDEN NOW IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX
“U.S. Interest Burden Hits 28-Year High, Escalating Political Risk.”
It’s talking about the interest the federal government pays on its outstanding debt. According to the report…
The U.S. debt interest-cost burden climbed to the highest since the 1990s in the financial year just ended, escalating the risk that fiscal worries limit the policy options for the next administration in Washington.
Since when have fiscal worries slowed down Washington? We’ll just borrow more, right? Uncle Sam already owes $36 trillion. What’s a couple trillion more among friends? Well, maybe. But that’s getting harder now.
The U.S. Treasury paid $882 billion in net interest payments during the fiscal year ending in September. That’s an average of $2.4 billion a day in interest payments. And that works out at more than 3% of annual GDP. Let’s break that number down further. Uncle Sam’s budget deficit is about 6% of GDP. About half of that is current spending. The other half is debt service. And a 6% budget deficit is something generally only seen in times of war or deep recessions when tax payments fall and the government boosts spending to stimulate demand.
Well, the US is not fighting a war right now, and last I checked, the economy was growing at a brisk 3% clip.
The budget deficit has blown out – and it is all but impossible to fix – because half of the budget deficit will pay the interest on prior years’ ill-advised spending. If the government were to balance the primary budget tomorrow – and the odds are better of you winning the lottery – they would still be looking at deficits of 3% of GDP due to interest expense on existing debts. So, to balance the budget, they need a budget surplus of 3% of GDP. And even that wouldn’t pay down the debt. It would simply cover the interest payments.
Inflate or Die
This is the hole US leaders have dug the country into. Neither Trump nor Harris has a viable plan to get them out of it. Both have pledged to find extra-large shovels to dig even deeper.
The only way those debts get paid down is in dollars that have been deeply depreciated due to inflation.
It’s inflate or die for Uncle Sam. This is why bitcoin, gold, and other dollar hedges are core, long-term holdings for us at The Freeport Investor. And that’s why you should keep some in your portfolio, too. As the value of the dollar continues to inflate away, dollar hedges will continue to climb.
Biblical prophecy tells us what this impossible-to-fix debt burden leads to, the WEF Great Reset and a one-world government with a demonically empowered leader, the Antichrist.
SAY JESUS CHRIST IS LORD, CHRIST IS KING AND YOU ARE NOT WELCOME AT A KAMALA HARRIS RALLY
Kamala Harris has made abortion the primary platform for this election. Kamala says, this election is a fight for freedom, the fundamental right for women to decide what to do with their bodies and not have the government tell you what to do. The problem is that another person is involved which the woman is carrying in her womb. What about freedom for that person? Even more important, what does God have to say about it? Kamala Harris made it clear that God is not welcome at her rallies. Her response to two young men who called out “Jesus Christ is Lord” and “Christ is King” made that clear. They were told they were at the wrong rally and were escorted to the door.
CHINA LEADS THE WAY WITH NEW NUCLEAR PROJECTS
According to Bloomberg, China has more nuclear reactors under construction than any other country, having approved a dozen in each of the past two years. The nation is on track to become the world’s largest producer of nuclear energy by 2030, overtaking France and the United States. Moreover, it was the first country to connect a small modular nuclear reactor to its grid in the Shandong province.
The EAST fusion-research tokamak at the Chinese Academy of Science’s Institute of Plasma Physics (ASIPP) in Hefei, China.
China has approved five new nuclear power projects, adding 11 reactors with an estimated investment of 220 billion yuan ($30.79 billion), marking a new record in the country’s atomic energy expansion. The decision was taken at an executive meeting of the State Council, presided over by Premier Li Qiang on Monday, the state-run Xinhua news agency said. State-controlled Chinese business news outlet Jiemian said the reactors will be constructed across the provinces of Jiangsu, Shandong, Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Guangxi.
Jiemian estimates are based on the average cost of 20 billion yuan ($2.8 billion) per reactor. Typically, China completes such projects within five years of approval. Six of the reactors will be managed by subsidiaries of the state-owned China General Nuclear Power Group (CGN), with several expected to be third-generation Hualong One reactors.
The China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) will build three more reactors, while the State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC) will oversee the construction of two others. Both CNNC and SPIC are also publicly owned. Notably, the Xuwei project in Jiangsu, operated by CNNC, will include a fourth-generation gas-cooled reactor designed to supply both heat and electricity, featuring enhanced safety measures.
China connected its first commercial onshore small modular nuclear reactor to its power grid, making it the first country in the world to draw power from such a machine, a report from Bloomberg reveals. China Huaneng Group Co.‘s 200-megawatt unit 1 reactor at Shidao Bay is connected to the grid in the Shandong province.
As part of its energy security and emissions reduction strategy, China is heavily investing in nuclear power alongside renewable sources like wind and solar. Beijing aims to double nuclear energy’s share of the national energy mix from 5 percent to 10 percent by 2035. Dutton is correct in including it in Australia’s energy mix.
MUTATIONS ARE KILLING US NOT CREATING US!
Dr Don Batten of Creation Ministries is well qualified to discuss this subject, and he clearly demonstrates that mutations are a loss of information. Mutations do not add information to the genome, so they cannot create “you from goo.” The video is not long, so make sure you use it to challenge your evolutionary-minded family members and friends.
All of the evidence of DNA (complex information) and the genome point to an intelligent designer. Random chance is not a reasonable explanation for the complexity and design evident in human life. There is a God and He reveals Himself to us in many ways but the most revealing way was through His Son Jesus Christ.
““For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16
THE BIBLE – IS IT TRUE OR IS IT TRUTH?
“Is the Bible True? Or Is It Truth?” by Scott Pinsker The article pokes fun at those who read the Bible “literally,” specifically calling out the global flood account as “pretty farfetched.” But the reasons he gives for why “the story of Noah is a tough nut to crack” are the same skeptical objections Answers in Genesis (AIG) and Creation Ministries International (CMI) have addressed for years!
A picture of the life-sized replica of Noah’s Ark built at Williamstown, Kentuck by Answers in Genesis (AIG). It was opened in 2016.
Here are the objections author Scott Pinsker raises, followed by a short answer with links to AIG articles on these topics.
- Objection: How could Noah bring “every animal on earth” onto the ark, including “1.05 million insect species, 11,000 birds, 11,000 reptiles, and 6,000 mammals”?
Answer: He didn’t need to! Follow the link to the full story, but the short answer is he only needed land-dwelling, air-breathing animal KINDS (not species)—less than 7,000 animals total! - Objection: The fossil record proves there couldn’t have been a worldwide flood.
Answer: Actually, it shows the opposite! - Objection: Regionalized flora and fauna prove there couldn’t have been a worldwide flood.
Answer: To answer this objection you need to understand the biblical concept of kinds. - Objection: Noah would’ve had to bring freshwater fish into an onboard aquarium or they would’ve died out.
Answer: This fails to understand the differences between the preflood world and our world and, again, the concept of kinds. Besides, the account in Scripture states only land animal kinds were on the ark. - Objection: Noah would’ve been required to take 2,000 species of termites on the ark, and surely the wooden vessel wouldn’t survive that.
Answer: But Noah perhaps didn’t need to bring insects on the ark, and even if he did, he wouldn’t need all those species! - Objection: Noah could never have cared for so many animals.
Answer: Well, he didn’t bring tens of thousands of animals onboard the ark! He easily could have cared for the few thousand he needed to bring. - Objection: Why didn’t Noah bring innocent babies onto the ark instead of having them perish in the flood?
Answer: God offered a means of salvation, and everyone except Noah and his family rejected it and therefore kept their children from receiving it as well. Besides, only God determines what is right and wrong. How can a human being determine morality without a basis in an absolute authority?
It’s rather frustrating to see skeptics—Christian or otherwise—mock the Bible for so-called “petty flaws” that thoughtful Christians have addressed for years! Just a few minutes of research on AIG or CMI sites would’ve shown that there are plausible answers to these questions. And yet he just repeats the same tired objections he’s heard from equally uninformed skeptics.
Why does he raise all these objections? Well, it’s to supposedly bolster his main point:
There are infinite ways to interpret the Bible. The Bible is about God, after all, and everyone’s image of God is different: My mental image of God differs from yours. And if we can’t even agree on the starting point, it’s going to be next to impossible to agree on all the twists and turns in the Scriptures.
The historicity of the Bible is a tricky topic—one that’s rife with recriminations, allegations, and declarations of faith. . . . Couldn’t an all-powerful, all-knowing God just as easily create a Holy Book that’s historical AND moral? Then why must it be one or the other? Why not both? Only God Himself knows for sure.
If only God himself knows, wouldn’t it behoove us to look at what God has said about his own Word in his Word and take it as written? One verse in particular immediately comes to mind:
“For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me“. John 5:46
Jesus tells his skeptical audience that they would believe his words if they believed the history written in the Old Testament because it all points to him. God recorded history, not just to teach us some “special wisdom . . . that can transform your soul,” but to point us to the Lord of history, Jesus Christ.
He also gave us his Word—history—for our instruction, so, we can know right from wrong and how to think biblically. Consider that, after refreshing his audience on some Old Testament history, Paul writes:
“Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did“. 1 Corinthians 10:6
“Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come“. 1 Corinthians 10:11
God’s Word is both, historical and filled with spiritual truths—not because I say so, but because God himself says so! (And he would know—he authored it after all! See 2 Timothy 3:16). And besides, Genesis is written as a historical narrative and is treated as such in the New Testament.
In the end, the author asks the question: “Do you believe the Bible is true—that every word and every claim should be taken 100% literally? Or do you believe the Bible is truth—that there’s a special wisdom within the Scriptures that can transform your soul, but truth comes in many forms, and you’ll have to work at uncovering the meaning for yourself?” (emphasis original)
I’ll simply let the Scriptures answer that question: “Your word is truth“. John 17:17, “The sum of your word is truth“. Psalm 119:160, “Let God be true though every one were a liar”. Romans 3:4
God’s Word is truth because it is true—if it isn’t true, then God is a liar and therefore the Bible is not truth. You can’t have one without the other! And to clear up yet another misconception, we don’t take the Bible “100% literally.” We read the Bible naturally, according to genre, as it was meant to be read!
CHINA’S INCREASING AGGRESSION TOWARDS TAIWAN
China significantly heightened its aggressive posture toward the democratic state of Taiwan earlier this week, encircling the island nation during military drills and publicly emphasizing the possibility of an armed invasion. Experts say the hostile actions are an indication that an armed conflict in the region is growing more likely, which could spell disaster for human rights and religious freedom in Taiwan.
In 2022 Vox News reported that Biden’s action to stop exports of semiconductors to China could set off a geopolitical quake. Also, the big problem with Biden’s move was that whilst semiconductors were developed in the USA, 70% are still being made in Taiwan. Hence Biden’s decision only increased the likelihood of China invading Taiwan to ensure they control the semiconductor market that is so essential for all the emerging technologies, particularly AI.
On Monday, Xi Jinping’s communist regime staged “large-scale drills” that completely surrounded Taiwan in a record-sized military exercise. As reported by The New York Times, “Chinese warplanes, deployed in record numbers, crossed an informal boundary between China and Taiwan. Chinese Coast Guard boats joined naval ships in encircling Taiwan. Fighter jets took off from an aircraft carrier parked off the island’s east coast.”
The Times went on to note that the drill was “the second time in less than five months that China has conducted similar exercises,” marking a stark increase from just two such drills staged in the previous eight years.
The war games were conducted as a response to a speech given by Taiwan President Lai Ching-te during the island’s National Day, in which he stated that China “has no right to represent Taiwan” and that he would “uphold the commitment to resist annexation or encroachment upon our sovereignty.” Lai also marked a conciliatory note, adding that he is willing to work with China on climate change, infectious diseases, and “regional security.”
Following Monday’s extensive drills, Chen Binhua, spokesperson for China’s Taiwan Affairs Office stated, “We are willing to strive for the prospect of peaceful reunification with the utmost sincerity and endeavor. But we will never commit ourselves to renouncing the use of force.”
Chen added, “No matter how many troops Taiwan has and how many weapons it acquires, and no matter whether external forces intervene or not, if it [Taiwan] dares to take risks, it will lead to its own destruction. Our actions to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity will not cease for a moment.” China has claimed that Taiwan is part of its territory ever since the island broke away in 1949, vowing “to eventually ‘unify’ Taiwan with the mainland.”
Experts say China’s drills are a worrisome indication of the continued military buildup and aggression of the communist regime.
“[W]hen I think back to the combinations and capabilities that [China’s People’s Liberation Army] had in 2014, I see a very, very dangerous trajectory,” Army Gen. Charles A. Flynn remarked Tuesday at the Center for New American Security. “[T]hey’re taking pages right out of our book and putting them in place to build a force, [anti-access, area denial] arsenal that they have created.”
The Washington Times noted that Xi has indeed “ordered PLA forces to be prepared for military action against Taiwan in the next 10 years or less.”
Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that China is simultaneously conducting a highly aggressive hacking campaign against Taiwan with the goal of “weaken[ing] the island’s resolve.” While Monday’s drills were commencing, Taiwan was “hit … with at least twice the average number of daily attempted breaches, the military’s cyber command reported.” In addition, the communist regime “is employing an expanding army of hackers, diplomats, prosecutors and celebrities in its effort to persuade Taiwan to submit to Beijing,” including using social media to present the military drills as “an act of love” — part of a “multifaceted campaign to intimidate, isolate and influence the people and leaders of the island democracy to give up their commitment to self-rule.”
What we see unfolding in our world today particularly rejecting God and His commandments but also wars and rumours of wars, particularly in the Middle East. The Hamas invasion should have brought support for Israel but no it has brought worldwide antisemitism. This is spiritual warfare it makes no sense otherwise. Jesus warned us about these times and the coming tribulation for Jews and Christians.
“And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.” Matthew 24:6-8
BIBLE APP IS MAKING GOD KNOWN IN OVER 2000 LANGUAGES
The YouVersion Bible app has now surpassed 800 million downloads worldwide, and it has become so prevalent that it’s reshaping the future of Bible engagement. Before becoming one of the most downloaded apps globally, helping millions access the Bible in over 2,000 languages, YouVersion founder Bobby Gruenewald says it all started as a simple website attempting to solve a big problem.
But the solution he envisioned hadn’t yet been invented. “And so, Steve Jobs, in early 2008 announced it was going to be possible to develop apps for the iPhone and create some brand-new thing called an app store,” he explains. Not knowing what an app was, Gruenewald recruited a 19-year-old on his team to build what the world today calls the Bible app.
The Bible app was a hit, starting out as one of 200 free apps on the Apple store. In the first week, more than 80,000 people downloaded it. Today, the Bible app is opened more than 270 times each second. It supports 70-plus languages, with more than 2,000 Bible translations. “Between 10 and 12 million per month,” Gruenewald says. “These are new devices that are installing the Bible app.” If you’ve ever used YouVersion to follow a reading plan or find a daily verse, you’re part of a community that’s reshaping how we engage with scripture. On Easter Sunday alone, YouVersion saw a record-breaking 17 million users, with 3.5 million new installs. Gruenewald believes this surge in Bible engagement is part of a larger global trend. The narrative that people no longer read the Bible is simply not true. We have evidence and real data, that indicates that there is momentum globally around scripture engagement,” he says. “So we should be encouraged to know that God’s word is very alive and well, and if anything, more relevant to today’s culture than maybe ever before in human history.”
YouVersion offers three products: the Bible app, the Bible app for kids, and Bible app lite, designed for regions where internet access is limited. Now, the team is in beta mode with Bible app loop, geared toward tweens. It’s being tested in India. As the app continues to grow, its future is being shaped by one of the most powerful technologies of our time—artificial intelligence. “We’re being very careful to make sure that there’s good transparency, and that we can make sure that if it’s ever answering questions, or if we ever choose to have a feature that does that, that it does it with accuracy,” Gruenewald says. Beyond impressive numbers, YouVersion’s growth is driven by a deeper mission: to help people connect with God and his Word. The app generates no revenue and operates solely through donations. “Like I mentioned, almost 40,000 donors last year supported it around the tune of about $60 million, which is kind of the scale and scope of what YouVersion is today. That’s grown quite a bit in the last few years,” Gruenewald says.
That surge is in part coordinated between donors and Bible translation groups, working to accelerate the pace at which every single language could have some portion of scripture translated – hopefully by 2033, the 2,000th anniversary of the death and resurrection of Jesus, we could see every language have some portion of scripture translated. “It’s imperative, we think, to be able to have God’s Word in every single heart language, so that every single person has the benefit that we have of even able to hear God’s voice, hear Jesus’s words in their own language,” Gruenewald says. As YouVersion continues to expand, its mission remains the same: to use technology to make the Bible accessible to everyone. Gruenewald says YouVersion is working with nearly 1,000 companies to leverage AI for good – and to promote an ecosystem within the faith community around using tech to its fullest potential. “So until we can be sure of those things, our uses of AI are going to be much more in the realm of machine learning or ways that we use it to help us make recommendations around content or connect or label content in a way that makes it more useful for us when we search and look for things,” Gruenewald says.
EARTHQUAKE MAGNITUDE 10 COMING TO SAN FRANCISCO
On Tuesday, more than 5.4 million early-warning alerts went out for the magnitude 5.2 quake that struck Kern County about 18 miles southwest of Bakersfield and 14 miles northwest of the unincorporated community of Grapevine. It was the third time this year that many Southern Californians reported getting the ShakeAlert warnings. Many marvel at the technology’s ability to alert them before they feel shaking, as it did July 29 with a Mojave Desert quake, which was sizable enough to feel a little scary but not to cause significant damage. This latest magnitude 5.2 earthquake is the largest to hit Southern California in three years. The epicenter was about 17 miles (27km) south of Bakersfield, California, and people reported shaking nearly 90 miles (145km) away in portions of Los Angeles and as far away as San Diego. Then, a few days later, another jolt rattled the Los Angeles area due to a rupture on a small section of the dangerous Puente Hills fault system. The resulting magnitude 4.4 earthquake had its epicentre just four miles northeast of the city’s downtown area.
An earthquake of magnitude 10 is prophesied for the San Andreas fault to judge California for the level of iniquity now evident in that state. It will be the start of earthquake activity across the USA. This will be in addition to the typhoons, and floods, as God judges the entire nation with escalating judgements.
In 2011 Jonathan Cahn warned America that God had sent 9 harbingers to warn America of coming judgement. The same warnings that God gave Israel before it was destroyed.
The Whitehouse was lit up with rainbow colours June 26th, 2015 when the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage nationwide
Former president Barack Obama tweeted a message of optimism in which he wished the country a “Happy Pride Month” soon after the Supreme Court delivered a ruling that protected employment rights for gay and transgender people.
Since 2011 America has cast God out of every facet of its life, homosexuality and gay marriage are now celebrated. Transgenderism is pushed even to children and mutilating operations on children are now big business.. See recent post END TIMES SIGN: US STUDY SHOWS 14,000 CHILDREN HAVE UNDERGONE TRANS PROCEDURES.
Despite the Row versus Wade decision being overturned by the Supreme Court, some States are even legislation abortion up to birth. God will not delay judgment any longer, expect to see calamities escalate including the level 10 earthquake in San Franciso on the San Andreas faultline.
