Craig Deall’s family farm was seized by the government of Zimbabwe 20 years ago without any compensation. Rather than fight or flee, Craig’s faith compelled him to forgive – a decision that has reaped a great harvest in more ways than one. Deall was raising his family on the same farm he grew up on when in 2003, the unthinkable happened. “It was obviously extremely traumatic,” he told CBN News. The government forced Deall, his wife, and children to leave their home and farm that had been in his family since 1948 as part of the government’s land reform program. An effort to more equitably distribute land between black subsistence farmers and white Zimbabweans of European ancestry. He had three choices. “We could fight, we could flee, or we could forgive“. “Some of my friends fought for their land and ended up getting killed for it,” Deall said. “Most of my friends left the country, and no answer is wrong. But we as a family decided to pursue the third option which was to forgive. (Only Christians can understand why anyone would make this decision. It is opposite to what Satan would have you do). We felt that if we chose bitterness instead of forgiveness, there’s no country far enough away where it doesn’t smell.”
Deall kept going back to one scripture in the Bible’s New Testament. In that scripture, Jesus says, ‘If a man steals your coat, give him your tunic as well.’ (Matthew 5:40) For us, it meant, if a man steals your farm, teach him how to farm. And that’s what we did. And with that, the pressure lifted, there was a great release over us, and we knew that God had opened up an avenue for us to serve the least of these and to bring them the Gospel,” he recalled. Deall moved his family to Harare, the capital city of Zimbabwe, while about a dozen other families took over his house and land. He then joined a group called Foundations for Farming. There, he began to teach the new owners, as well as other small-scale farmers, a unique way of farming that God revealed to the group’s founder, Brian Oldreive. “He went with a child-like faith into virgin bush, into virgin forest and he sat there and he asked God, ‘Teach me how to farm’, and the two things that he saw is that there is no inversion tillage in nature. And the next thing he saw is that there is this beautiful mulch cover that covers the forest floor, and that’s actually God’s mechanism for feeding and protecting the soil,” Deall explained.
“So, he went back to his farm, and he literally tried it. Just without any tillage and no burning, which is contrary to the conventional way of farming, and he immediately got outstanding results like 10-time increment in yield,” he continued. “And so, he knew that it worked, and he started to grow it bigger and bigger but he knew that God had given him this revelation, not for himself but to extrapolate across the continent of Africa to the rural farmers, the hurting, the poor ones around the continent.” The success of the Zero-Tillage technique caught the attention of the Zimbabwe government which endorsed the method. And in 2020, the country experienced its first food surplus in two decades. “In fact, the food production has jumped four times, between three and four times, are the official estimates of the food increment in the year 2020,” Deall said.
The country’s main crop, corn, tripled with the method and now Foundations for Farming teaches the technique all over the world with the main goal of sharing the Gospel. “But 80% of what we teach is the heart. It’s using agriculture as an entry point for the gospel,” Deall said. Even with all their success, the Zimbabwean government never offered Deall any compensation for his home, land, or time teaching, but he says the way God has provided, he wouldn’t change a thing. “We have a saying in Foundations of Farming: ‘I used to own a farm in Africa, now Africa is my farm,’” he said.

Geoffrey Hinton and John Hopfield were awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics on October 8th, 2024.
Hinton was awarded the prize for his work on “foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.” It’s why he’s known as the “Godfather of AI.” Hinton is responsible for laying the groundwork for how AI functions today.
Since May 2023, he’s been warning folks about the dangers posed by this burgeoning technology. In fact, he publicly resigned from Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) to be able to speak out more freely about it.
And last Tuesday, when asked about the effect that AI would have on our society, he said:
“It will be comparable with the industrial revolution. But instead of exceeding people in physical strength, it’s going to exceed people in intellectual ability. We have no experience of what it’s like to have things smarter than us.“
Thanks to AI, we will soon ride in Robotaxis, have personalized treatment plans for major diseases, and much more… totally transforming the way we work, live, and play.
However, some things will change for the worse…
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about the dockworker’s strike and how one of their aims was a total ban on further automation at the nation’s ports. I believed that this was a hopelessly futile endeavor – that AI-driven automation was eventually coming whether they liked it or not. Just as Amazon and Walmart warehouses are becoming totally robotic. They can function 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with no people, no mistakes, no meal breaks, no sickies, and no holidays.
But it’s not just the dockworkers that should be worried. AI is coming for tech jobs, too. In fact, TechCrunch reported that Amazon, Apple, Alphabet, Meta, and Microsoft laid off roughly 94,400 people in 2023! And so far this year, the total for tech layoffs is about 141,076! Some of these layoffs are due to workers who were reluctant to return to the office. But many of these layoffs are related to AI as companies rely on software, rather than people, to become more efficient.
Unfortunately, this is just the beginning. We will see layoffs in law enforcement, customer service, medicine, mining, transportation, and much more. Up to 800 million global workers could lose their jobs by 2030, according to a McKinsey study, and 70% of all existing occupations could see a pay cut, according to Wired magazine. We’re talking about a massive wave of economic and societal change.
City-sanctioned safe sleeping site on Fulton Street between Hyde and Larkin Streets in San Francisco, Calif., on Friday, June 12, 2020. Four years later it is much worse.
Governments that have jettisoned God and His commandments are already unable to cope with the consequences. Lawlessness, even anarchy will abound exactly as Scripture prophecies for the last day before Jesus returns to Earth.
Government debt levels are already astronomical so they will not be able to provide relief for AI-induced unemployment. The stage is being set for the Antichrist and a one-world government.
Jesus warns us that increasing persecution is ahead for Christians and we need to trust God no matter the circumstances confident that He will see us through it.
“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.” Matthew 24:9-13
While everyday investors keep piling into names like Nvidia, Apple, and Amazon… the owners of those very companies — Jensen Huang, Tim Cook, and Jeff Bezos are dumping their OWN shares at a record pace and they are leading a parade of corporate insiders, Fortune 500 CEOs, and founders who’re selling shares of their OWN stocks, as well.
Insider selling has just hit the highest level in three years. Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan, just sold $150 million of his own shares — for the first time EVER.
Financial experts are saying:
The wealthy are now moving their cash to a class of stocks that sit at the largest, most critical, and economically resilient pillar of the US economy. These stocks are hyper-innovative but completely overlooked… billionaires love them for market-reliance… and their incredible ability to jump 200%, 500%, even 1,000% higher. And the world’s wealthiest: Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos,” Bill Gates, Michael Bloomberg, Mark Zuckerberg, 48 members of Congress. They’re all moving large amounts of their own money into these stocks: Next-Gen Stocks.
It’s about the “one-percenters” exploiting yet another massive “wealth transfer”. In the wake of every major market panic — the rich are the only ones to get richer?
In the aftermath of the dot-com crash, the top 10% emerged with 69% more wealth on average.
In 2008 — the “already rich” walked away with vastly more wealth than everyone else…
In the 2020 crash — the top 1% added $15 trillion to their net worth…
Meanwhile, the middle class has suffered ever since.
What are the next Gen Stocks? They are the stocks of solid companies that can benefit from AI but are not amongst the high flyers like Nvidia, AMD, Amazon, Google, Apple, and Microsoft.
They would include healthcare companies Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY), Pfizer (PFE), and Roche (RHHBY), and even companies like Walmart that are now automating their warehouses with AI and robotics. I would include some of the Quantum Computer stocks that are yet to “take off”, Super Micro Computers (SMCI), Broadcom (AVGO), Crowd Strike (CRWD), Emcor Group (EME), and Intel.
When countries are printing money like the USA, and amassing trillions of dollars of debt, there is no point in holding onto currencies that are doomed to lose value. Gold and silver are safe havens and recent increases demonstrate smart money is going there. More recently Cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin are being seen as a better alternative to some currencies.
From a Biblical perspective which after all is the only one that is guaranteed to eventuate we know that the government and economic chaos will lead to a prophesied one-world government and the Antichrist. See my previous post U.N.Pact for the Future it demonstrates we are already on that path to a one-world government.
In this fascinating sequel to ‘Is Genesis History?‘, Del Tackett follows the journey of two creation scientists rafting through the Grand Canyon to examine enormous folds of solid rock. What caused these massive formations? And when did they happen? Conventional scientists say they are millions of years old, but no one has actually studied them… until now.
Del Tackett’s first documentary provided an overview of creation science. In this unique sequel, he explore how creation science actually works. What did the Flood do to re-form Earth? How did it shape the world we see around us? And why is Genesis so important to modern science? If Andrew Snelling’s theory is correct, his findings will directly challenge the conventional view that the earth is hundreds of millions of years old. Instead, they will provide clear evidence for a recent global Flood. ‘Mountains After the Flood’ is very different from Del’s first film. It reveals the inner workings of creation science and shows how creation scientists link their discoveries to the history recorded in Genesis. It will give Christians everywhere a deeper understanding of the relationship between science and the Bible.

A British army veteran who served in Afghanistan was found guilty today of praying silently near an abortion clinic in England.
Adam Smith-Connor breached a Public Spaces Protection Order by this action, according to the ruling at Poole Magistrates Court in the town of Poole near Bournemouth, Dorset, England. The court gave Smith-Connor a conditional discharge, meaning he would be sentenced only if convicted of future offenses within the next two years. But the court also ordered the father of two children to pay prosecution costs amounting to £9,000. ADF International stated that Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole Council spent £90,000 prosecuting the former soldier for praying, which carried a maximum penalty of £1,000. This is crazy and whoever authorised the expenditure should be sacked.
“Today, the court has decided that certain thoughts — silent thoughts — can be illegal in the United Kingdom,” Smith-Connor said after the court ruling. “That cannot be right. All I did was pray to God, in the privacy of my own mind, and yet I stand convicted as a criminal?”
The court found Smith-Connor guilty of an act of “disapproval of abortion,” though he was only thinking about his son, who had been aborted many years before, according to Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) International.
Smith-Connor had slightly bowed his head and clasped his hands in prayer on a public green in a buffer zone near the abortion facility in Orphir Road, Bournemouth in November 2022. During a confrontation with police officers that he recorded, they asked him, “What is the nature of your prayer?”
The buffer zone had been previously legalized under a Public Spaces Protection Order enforced on streets near the abortion clinic. The intent of the buffer zone had been to stop pro-life beliefs being expressed near the facility, including offering help or prayers to women in crisis pregnancies, according to a press statement by ADF International.
Defense attorneys argued that Smith-Connor’s prayerful thoughts, beliefs and opinions were not a crime, especially as he stood peacefully and silently on a public street. He stood behind a tree, spoke to no one, and had his back to the facility.
Fortunately, Biblical prophecy shows us that the return of Jesus to put an end to this nonsense is near.
Like many others in the O.T. and N.T., the following Scripture warns us about what will happen before Jesus returns to restore righteousness. We cannot say that God has not told us what is ahead
“But understand that in the last days, there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith. But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.” 2 Timothy 3:1-17
The Bible lists several events that will lead to the great tribulation period. Humanity will increasingly adopt a negative attitude toward God’s laws and reject keeping them. This lawlessness will cause people to greatly lack mercy, forgiveness, and love..
“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
It will be a trying, testing time but note the gospel of the kingdom is proclaimed throughout the whole world so God has His disciples doing the work they’re called to do right up to the time God raptures the Saints to heaven and pours out His wrath upon an unrepentant world with the Trumpet (Revelation 8) and Bowl judgements (Revelation 16).
The transgender industry has exploded from a trickle of young males seeking transition procedures to thousands upon thousands of minors who have filled the industry’s bank account with more than $100 million, according to a groundbreaking new report. This is a significant end-times sign. God will not countenance this happening to children.
The group Do No Harm has found nearly 14,000 minors have undergone transgender surgeries, puberty blockers, or cross-sex hormone injections between 2019 and 2023, generating almost $120 million in revenue. This is now big business and nothing but God stepping in will stop it. The report documents that during those years:
13,994 children received transgender-related treatments
5,747 transgender “sex change” operations were carried out on children
“62,682 hormone and puberty blockers prescriptions [were] written for 8,579 pediatric patients”
“At least $119,791,202 made from sex change treatments performed on minors”
“This data release is really a nuclear bomb,” Dr. Miriam Grossman told guest host Jody Hice on “Washington Watch” Wednesday. “We are led to believe by politicians and many groups that these interventions are rare and hardly happening in this country. And that is simply not true.”
These experimental procedures have proliferated, partly because of money, but also because “the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Psychiatric Association for many years have been taken over by a small group of activists who simply push their agendas forward and stifle debate,” Grossman noted. “And too many of my colleagues are simply spineless and unwilling to speak up against it.”
The study’s numbers, which tracked insurance data, “also are not counting any of the treatments that were paid for privately,” noted Grossman, a practicing psychiatrist. “While this data represents the tip of the iceberg, this is the first step in holding the medical establishment accountable for participating in, and often times promoting, predatory and unscientific medical interventions for vulnerable children,” said the chairman of Do No Harm, Dr. Stanley Goldfarb.
The procedures sometimes generated millions of dollars for the facility. according to the database, Boston Children’s Hospital raked in over $5 million. The group released its list of the “Dirty Dozen” hospitals that most profited off pediatric transgender procedures, which includes:
The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia
Connecticut Children’s Medical Center
Children’s Minnesota
Seattle Children’s
Children’s Hospital Los Angeles
Boston Children’s Hospital
Rady Children’s Hospital
Children’s National Medical Center
UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland
Children’s Hospital Colorado
UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh
Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center
“Some of these hospitals are actually activists; they are reaching out into the community and promoting their services,” Grossman told Hice.iws9
Yet not everyone has bowed “the knee” to the industry’s consensus. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) has refused to endorse “any organization’s practice recommendations for the treatment of adolescents with gender dysphoria” and acknowledged that “there is considerable uncertainty as to the long-term efficacy for the use of chest and genital surgical interventions, and the existing evidence base is viewed as low quality/low certainty.”
Still, the damage has been profound, experts say. Thanks to transgender activists, children are being permanently “physically disfigured. They’re losing the capacity to have biological children in the future. Many of them will have impaired sexual functioning, inability to have sexual pleasure, and many, many other medical and psychiatric problems,” said Grossman. “There’s so many mental health issues for many reasons. And, one big reason is that we are misrepresenting reality to these children, and we are leading them to think that they can just keep [allowing] each person [to] create their own reality. That is extremely destructive from a mental health perspective.”
The procedures often trigger lifelong regret. “We’ve had over 4,000 or 5,000 people that we’ve helped through our website, working with them one-on-one, who have come back and restored their life,” Walt Heyer, who lived for years as a woman before embracing his God-given sex, told a panel at the 2024 Pray Vote Stand Summit (PVSS) in Washington, D.C. last weekend.
Like many transgender-identifying young people, Heyer was psychologically, physically, and sexually abused as a child. Today, he says, he hears aspects of his own story in thousands of young people who speak with him.
“When people approach me and they say, ‘I’m a transgender. I transitioned and I have gender dysphoria,’ I always say, ‘Well, you’re not a transgender. You never transitioned, and you probably don’t have gender dysphoria,’” Heyer said. “That’s not gender dysphoria. That’s trauma.”
“It is categorically impossible to change your gender with hormones and surgery,” Heyer pointed out. “No one has ever changed genders. They’ve changed their persona.”
Once led down the transgender medical pipeline of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and unnecessary surgery, these minor patients have no formal financial — and all-too-often, psychological — support. “We see a population that is vulnerable, that has been taken advantage of, that has no means of intervention, because once they go through ‘gender-affirming care,’ there’s no insurance to go through a detransitioning process. There is no insurance to cover the trauma that happens to someone who’s been told by the medical community, ‘This is the way you’re going to get better,” Dr. Jennifer Bauwens, director of the Center for Family Studies at Family Research Council, told PVSS.
She continued, “If we know that trauma is high in a population, what we should be doing is including that variable in every piece of research that we produce, because it’s significant and we need to understand the population well, but not when it comes to the transgender research literature. They don’t include it. They’re not curious [about] why self-harm is so high in this population. And in fact, the very act of ‘gender-affirming care’ is self-harm, which is an expression of trauma.’”
Less than one-third of Americans say they support any kind of transgender procedures for minors in a Rasmussen poll. A strong majority (58%) of Americans oppose all transgender procedures — including supposedly reversible puberty blockers and hormone injections — for children under 18; 47% “strongly oppose” such procedures.
“The stats in this database represent thousands of kids who are being treated like Guinea pigs for unproven, and sometimes dangerous, medical experiments. I hope politicians and parents alike use this database to see where these treatments are happening and protect their children from being rushed into irreversible, life-altering treatments,” said Do No Harm Senior Fellow and Patient Advocate Chloe Cole.
Thus far, the 2024 Republican presidential campaign has said little about the procedures. Instead, since August, the Trump campaign has focused on a $65 million ad campaign opposing transgender-identifying athletes taking part in women’s sports and taxpayer-funded transgender procedures for inmates in prison.
“If I had it my way, we would close every gender clinic in the United States and stop this nonsense. We need to get a backbone, and we need to stand up and say we are destroying lives. We are not helping people,” Heyer told PVSS.
Bauwens also noted that, according to federal election data, “92% to 96% of research psychologists and social workers” have “given to a liberal Democrat candidate” for office.
The most profound damage of the transgender industry comes in the mind- and soul-altering message of gender fluidity, which wars with the biblical view that God created us male and female, Heyer contended. “When we introduce a child or an individual to the idea that they can change genders, we devalue who they are in Christ,” he said.
The video below by the evangelist, Tim Shuttlesworth is worth watching. He knows where we are in Biblical history and the importance of Biblical end-times prophecies to prepare us for the coming tribulation. As we continue to watch the retaliations in the Israel-Iran war, the disinformation presented on social media, biased news outlets, antisemitic narratives on college campuses, and sadly the uneducated dialogue of many Christians falls short of a proper Biblical view. All students of the Bible need to be able to understand this war against Israel through the tense of Bible Prophecy. Tim does a worthwhile job of addressing the ongoing developments and provides a prophetic map that reveals exactly where we are headed. He covers three questions:
1. What is the timeline of the current war we are watching in the Middle East?
2. Where is Iran in Bible Prophecy?
3. What is Iran’s role in Final Bible Prophecy? Key Scriptures for today’s teaching: Ezekiel 39:1-7 Other Scriptures in this study: Ezekiel 38 & 39, Deuteronomy 33:29, Psalm 121:4-5 & 7, Isaiah 46:6b, Zechariah 9:16
I do not agree with Tim’s timing of the Rapture. He believes that the rapture happens before the start of tribulation which begins with the opening of the first seal, at year one of the final seven years of this era.
God does not say He will keep us from persecution/tribulation but He does say He will keep us from the time when He pours out His wrath upon the earth. The wrath of God is poured out with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements which commence at the blowing of the trumpet at the opening of the seventh seal at the end of the sixth year. At the sixth seal, we get the following Scripture announcing that the great day of God’s wrath has come.
“Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?” Revelation 6:16
The Revived Roman Empire is commonly associated with the fourth beast of Daniel chapter 7. This beast is described as “terrifying and frightening and very powerful” (Daniel 7:7). This ten-horned beast is a prophetic picture of the Roman Empire (Daniel 7:19–24), but, as Daniel watches, a little horn rises from the beast, with “eyes like the eyes of a human being and a mouth that spoke boastfully” (Daniel 7:20). This final horn is the Antichrist, who will somehow be connected with the Roman Empire.
The former Roman Empire was an area that stretched from West North Africa to parts of the Middle East. Therefore, he could be from North Africa, Turkey, or from the Middle East. A commonly-held view by many Christians is that “the Assyrian” is a designation, by the ancient prophets, of the Antichrist.
As such, they believe that this future man of lawlessness or sin (2 Thessalonians 2:3), necessarily must emerge from somewhere in the region in or around present-day Syria.
Almost all pre-millennial students of prophecy agree that the “King” of (Isaiah 30:33) is the Antichrist, and yet in the two verses thatprecede, this “King” is identified with “the Assyrian.”
Considering that Muslims are expecting their Messiah, Mahdi., could he be the Assyrian, the Antichrist?What do Muslims expect of their Mahdi?
The Mahdi will be a messianic figure, he will be a descendant of Muhammad, he will be an unparalleled, unequaled leader, he will come out of a crisis of turmoil, he will take control of the world, he will establish a new world order, he will destroy all who resist him, he will invade many nations, he will make a seven-year peace treaty with the Jews he will conquer Israel and Massacre the Jews. He will establish Islamic world headquarters in Jerusalem. He will rule for seven years establishing Islam as the only religion. He will come on a white horse with supernatural power. He will be loved by all people on earth. If that sounds familiar that is a precise description of the biblical Antichrist absolutely step by step by step by step. The Bible’s Antichrist is Islam’s Mahdi.
Alphabet’s Google is plugging into nuclear power for its artificial intelligence (AI) operations. The tech giant inked a deal with Kairos Power to purchase electricity from small modular reactors (SMRs).
The plan: Bring the first SMR online by 2030, with more to follow through 2035.
The bigger picture: This move highlights the surging energy demands of AI, with U.S. data center power consumption projected to triple between 2023 and 2030.
In a deal that marks the first corporate agreement to deploy multiple small modular reactors (SMRs) in the U.S., Kairos Power, and Google have signed a Master Plant Development Agreement to facilitate the development of a 500-MW fleet of molten salt nuclear reactors by 2035 to power Google’s data centers.
Momentum for a nuclear revival driven by data center power demand is already beginning to crop up. As POWER reported earlier this month, Microsoft and Constellation Energy committed $1.6 billion to restart the Unit 1 reactor of the shuttered Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania by 2028. The facility, known as the Crane Clean Energy Center, could supply Microsoft’s AI-driven data centers for at least 20 years. Amazon Web Services, similarly, last year bought a 960-MW data center campus powered by the 2,500-MW Susquehanna nuclear plant.
Also, the Strategic Capabilities Office of the US Department of Defense (DOD) has selected BWXT Advanced Technologies and X-energy LLC to develop a final design for a prototype mobile microreactor under the Project Pele initiative. The two teams have been selected through a preliminary design competition which began in April 2019. Three companies – BWX Technologies, Westinghouse Government Services, and X-energy – were selected last year to begin preliminary design work for a prototype reactor. One of the remaining two companies may be selected to build and demonstrate a prototype after a final design review early next year, and the completion of an environmental analysis under the US National Environmental Protection Act, DOD said.
Australia has realized the need for nuclear submarines, so we are committed to nuclear energy and need to develop expertise with small nuclear reactors. We have also had a nuclear reactor in Sydney since the 1950s without incident. Hence, it makes good business sense to bring nuclear energy into our energy mix as well.
