World News, Christian Worldview

Key Takeaways

  • Believers must analyze modern world news through the lens of Scripture rather than personal experience, personal preference, or secular media narratives.
  • A proper Christian worldview on world news helps Christians recognize that current global conflicts and societal shifts align directly with biblical prophecies regarding perilous times in the last days.
  • U.S. financial support to Israel functions primarily as a secured purchasing program benefiting American defense contractors and corporations rather than a direct cash handout.
  • Historical events like the Christian Crusades were a direct, preemptive response to stop the violent expansionist jihad of Islamic forces across the region.
  • Rising mental health struggles and tragic acts of violence tied to transgender ideology highlight the dangerous psychological impacts of altering God-given identity and administering radical hormone therapies.

In this episode, Pastor Jack reacts to recent world news, breaking headlines, and current events, providing biblical commentary and practical insight for Christians seeking to understand the news through a biblical worldview. Join Pastor Jack as he explores global events, prophecy, faith, and the relevance of Scripture in today's rapidly changing world.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Christian worldview on world news?

A Christian worldview on world news means filtering current events, global headlines, and cultural shifts through the absolute truth of the Word of God rather than relying on tainted personal opinions or secular media bias.

How does U.S. financial aid to Israel actually work?

U.S. military assistance to Israel is not a direct cash handout, but rather a structured funding agreement requiring Israel to purchase defense equipment from major American corporations like Boeing, Raytheon, and SpaceX.

Why were the historical Crusades fought according to biblical commentary?

The historical Crusades were initiated by European Christian nations as a defensive response to stop the aggressive military expansion and invasion of Islamic jihad forces.

How should believers respond to distressing world news headlines?

Believers should avoid getting sucked into the despair of secular narratives by grounding their minds in Scripture, recognizing global turmoil as a sign of the last days, and looking forward to the return of Christ.

Transcript

Well hey everybody, welcome to today's show. And we're gonna just do something a little bit different today. We're gonna dive into some of the headlines that have been coming across the news wave, the news flow of late. But remember, we are believers. Most of us watching this program right now together, we are believers. That is that we name the name of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Our opinions don't matter. We have come to surrender. We are followers of Christ. We're disciples of Christ, meaning this, that the word of God is our... is our tune by which we march by, and it is the path by which we walk by. And our personal preferences are fine when it comes to pizza, thin crust or thick, cauliflower or dough. That's your business. But when it comes to us analyzing the events of the world, it is not left up to the Christian's opinion. And I'm very, very certain that modern day Christianity in the West anyway has failed in so many ways. But one of those ways is that our personal analysis of news... is based upon our personal experience. And so we look at news with a tainted lens. And we don't want to do that. Here's what we want to do. In 2 Timothy 3, the Bible says, but know this, that's a command, by the way, know this, that in the last days... Perilous times will come, for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy. And he goes down the list of all of the unloving and the unforgiving and the the description of a godless world that will exist in the last days. So that means you and I are to be testing all things in light of Scripture. So again, I said we're going to do something a little bit different. These are some headlines that have been handed to me for us to look at. And I'm doing this deliberately. I did not research these. These were given to me. Why did I choose that? Because when you open up the news, that's exactly how it comes to you and I, doesn't it? Before we have a chance to work it out, analyze it, study it, proof it, We open up the headline news and it immediately informs us of something that affects our way of responding to it. It's only then after contemplation or taking it, of course, to the word of God that we can come to the right answer. So this is in no order whatsoever. So... Boom. Here, Israel. Israel allocates or allots $434 million for West Bank settlements. Israel makes an allotment for West Bank settlements. Well, the first thing is, that's their politics, that's their business. It's not your business or mine, but the West Bank. What is the West Bank? Why is there a West Bank? West of what? The West Bank is a highly charged area of conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. But note this, that... This news is announcing that Israel allots $434 million for West Bank settlements. And someone's going to say, not only do I disagree with that, I disagree with the word Israel or the existence of Israel. Somebody might say, where'd they get that $434 million in the first place? They got it from their remarkable economy. That said, let me pivot a little bit and say this. Did you know that we give Israel $3.8 billion a year for military budget? You know how people, AOC, Ilhan Omar, Cory Booker, who are some other, Zohar Mandani, Talib Rashid, did I say that right? Rashida Talib. Others. Do you know there's people that freak out and panic that we give Israel money? This is wrong. We've got to stop and cut all funding to Israel. Trust me, you don't want to do that. Dude, you do not want to do that. Did you know that we don't give Israel any money We don't write them a check and have them cash it. Did you know we don't do that? We don't do what Obama did. You know Obama put pallets of cash on C-17 cargo planes with the U.S. Air Force and flew into Iran. Just about 80 billion U.S. dollars in cash, which was, by the way, illegal. Of course, he will not be arrested or charged or investigated for that. That was your money and mine. Without congressional knowledge, Barack Obama committed a massive, massive, massive, not only breach in U.S. law, but a violation of his powers, and without congressional approval, gave $80 billion to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to assist it in its nuclear power program. That's not what we're talking about. We're talking about... What? We've got to stop support of Israel. Yeah, you know what? I know that you say that out of ignorance, but after you hear this, you won't say it anymore. Did you know that the United States gives Israel $3.8 billion for its military budget? Did you know that that $3.8 billion is so specifically hammered out and concluded upon that this is how it breaks down. Israel, here is 500 million out of the 3.8 billion. 500 million. This goes to you having to give this money to Boeing to purchase these types of aircraft to, for your military. Oh, and $1 billion of the 3.8, that has to be spent at Grumman, Northrop, or Raytheon, or SpaceX, So that's where that goes. Oh, and another $800 million of the 3.8, the $800 million has to go to General Dynamics. Did you know that? So when we give Israel money, here's what's actually happening. Hi, Israel. We give you the money. you have to give it back by placing orders with Boeing, Raytheon, SpaceX, and the like. If we did not send that money to Israel... to secure these contracts or to implement these purchase orders from these U.S. corporations? Did you know that if you know anybody who works for SpaceX, Raytheon, Boeing, General Dynamics, or Grumman, Northrop, did you know that there'd be layoffs? You didn't know that, huh? So these lunatics that are screaming, we need to stop supporting Israel, cut the budget, you're cutting your own hand off. but you never thought that far. I'm not saying you. You guys are smart. I'm talking about people who you and I come in contact with. Keep that in mind next time. Very, very interesting. Pope Leo. Oh, another headline. It's this one. Pope Leo's irresponsible denial of history and reality that show Islam is a violent religion. So Pope Leo's irresponsible denial of, of quote, history and reality, that show Islam is a violent religion. Listen, that is a kind of a convoluted headline, but I will tell you this, this article goes on to talk about the Christian crusades against the Muslims. and Islam throughout the region of the Mediterranean, Eastern Europe, Central and Western Europe. Did you guys know this? Did you know that the Crusaders, the Crusades, did you know that the Crusades, the Crusaders, that they were responding to a preemptive strike by Islamic Muslim jihadis. Did you know that? So I've never heard that before. It's because you've never thought about it before. You've never looked at it before. You've heard so much about how bad the crusades were. I'm not saying that the crusades weren't bad in some respects. There's things, look, there's always bad things done in the name of war, okay? But not all the Crusades were bad. What is bad is painting with a broad brush. The Crusades were a response to Islamic expansion out of Saudi Arabia up into the Israel and into the Middle East and into Eastern Europe. And so the kings of the European nations rallied together and put together an army to stop the Muslim invasion. By the way, the same thing is happening now, but this time, This time there's no crusaders. There are no Christian warriors stopping the advancement of the Islamic invasion of Israel, Eastern Europe, Central Europe, Western Europe, and the West, the North American continent. So, don't worry. If you don't like the crusaders, don't worry. There are no crusaders. There's no one stopping the Islamic war this time. They're invading, and they've already invaded, and they're going to invade more so. That said, remember this. Ask yourself, why was there the need for crusaders? That's a good question. You should get that answered. The answer is to stop the advancement of Islam. When Islam was in Saudi Arabia, there was no crusaders. It wasn't until it left Saudi Arabia that it left with the sword to conquer the people of Israel and then up into Syria and And then over through Turkey, and you can study, by the way, you can study this many places, but you could go to YouTube and look up, just type this in, Bill Warner, Bill Warner Crusades. You should look him up on YouTube. Thank you so much. Bill Warner Crusades. Watch his videos on the advancement of Islam. But you also might want to take the time to look at the book written by a tremendous man. I love this man. We've tried to get him on this program, but he's been going through health issues. But Victor Davis Hanson has written a book titled The End of Everything. And you should study the chapter on the advancement of Islam in his book. Quite amazing. But I want you guys to be aware that headline news, Islam is 100% violent, not 95, not 97. Islam is even violent by its own name. If I'm going to tell you to submit to me, if I say it in Arabic, I would say this, Islam, Islam, means submit to me. What if I don't submit to you? Ah, we have instructions for this. Off with your head. I don't know about you. Sounds kind of violent. So this next one. Kosovo soldiers arrive in Israel to join planned Gaza stabilization force. The troops will support the Gaza security effort in areas such as logistics and civil affairs, the Board of Peace has said. So this is kind of interesting because the Board of Peace, this is Trump's creation for a stable Middle East. It's interesting. So here's a report. Kosovo. soldiers arrive in Israel to bring about this stabilizing force. That's pretty remarkable because Trump, with the support of the Middle East, with the support of Israel, they want to stabilize Gaza. And they want to, which I don't know if this is humanly possible, but they want to make it livable again. And the reason why I hesitate is because, you know, after 2023, October 7th, and Israel attacking Hamas in Gaza, Turns out that there's, the ground looks like Swiss cheese. It's impossible to build on top of the ground in Gaza because Israel found hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of miles of tunnels on multiple levels, up to three to four stories, subterranean. So the ground is like Swiss cheese, we would say. And I know Trump and others have said, let's build resorts there and make it very financially productive because the beach is great. Not sure if they'll ever be able to do that because the ground is so perforated. It's probably disastrous. But all that said, what do you think about the nations of the world in that region of the world and the Board of Peace engineering a rebuilding project for Gaza? Remember, Gaza is its own separate sovereign entity. They have their own elections. They have their own passport, their own people, Gaza. Don't you think that's a good idea to take Gaza and make it productive and healthy and beautiful and wonderful? I do. I think it's great. I don't know if it's ever going to happen. You know, for thousands of years, Gaza in the Bible has always been a haven of evil. Gaza. Look up Gaza in your Bible. Just type in Bible search Gaza and you'll see what I mean by that. But that said, Gaza. I'm all for that. Who do you think would be against it? Israel's not against it. Turkey's not against it. The Palestinians are not against it. You know who's against it? Iran's against it. Iran? What do they care? Ah, because Iran in Gaza is called Hamas. And Hamas is against making Gaza normal. Like, make Gaza great again? Well, first of all, it was never great, ever. But make Gaza cool? Make Gaza beautiful? Make Gaza a resort? Make Gaza a place where you'd want to go on vacation? Who would be against it? Isn't it funny? Iran is against it. The IRGC, the Islamic Republican Guard Corps of Iran, is against that because that mission takes all the power away from what's left of Hamas. Interesting. Wow. Here's one. A poll. A poll says, American Jews rate anti-Israel New York City Mayor Zoran Mandani above Netanyahu. Yeah. That goes to show you that many of the Jewish people in New York and many, not all, many of the Jewish people in New York and many of the Jewish people in Israel may be very, very smart, but have almost no wisdom. No wisdom. I got news for you. If Netanyahu, there's a reason why Netanyahu is so hated by the weirdos is because Netanyahu has prevented evil from destroying Israel. But only the libtards would view Netanyahu worse than Netanyahu. Zoran Mandani? You know, listen, the Jews in America, not all of them, a lot of them, the Jews in America, did you know they almost 100% vote Democrat? Did you know that they almost always vote for candidates who hate them? Did you know you never hear a Jew in America saying, I'm not going to vote for that guy. That guy's anti-Israel, anti-Jew. They don't even talk like that in America. They don't even care. because Jews are already in the promised land. It's called the U.S. of A. They don't care about Israel. Many of them don't. I'm not saying all, many Jews in America could care less about Israel because it doesn't affect them. But even still, you know how Zohan Mandani got elected in New York? The Jews allowed him, massive population of Jews in New York, The Jews allowed him to get into office. And now he's going against all these Jewish traditions and celebrations in New York City. He's elevating Islam. And the Jews don't care. But what they do care about is Netanyahu's bad. I trust God. I wish my Jewish friends who don't know God would try to trust God because without Netanyahu appointed by God, there's a big reason why he's so unpopular. It's because his actions have held that nation together. And so they're about ready to throw him out. And when they do, let's see what happens. Next news headline, Brazil jails parents... for homeschooling without gender theory. That's why they were homeschooling. It's because Brazil's got nuts. First criminal conviction shocks nation. So let me read it without stopping. Brazil jails parents for homeschooling without gender theory. First criminal conviction shocks nation. That's right. Brazil has got so much peace and prosperity. They've got so zero crime that what now they're looking for something to do with their police and legal authority. What are we going to do? Our nation is so perfect. I know. Let's go after those homeschoolers that refuse to teach gay theory, gender theory, in their homeschooling. That's it. Let's arrest them. Let's throw them in jail because we don't have anything else to do. There's no crime. There's nothing wrong happening in Brazil. So let's go after homeschooling parents. Hey, friends, I'm being pretty sarcastic right now simply for this reason. Don't get caught up in the narrative. It's the spirit behind it all. California, by the way, a lot of homeschooling families don't realize this. They will soon, depending upon how November goes here in California. Homeschoolers in California, they're a hair's breadth away from headlines like this coming to California. don't think it can't come to America. But, yeah, that's it. We want to stop homeschoolers because you know what? Those homeschoolers, it just so happens, all those homeschoolers, those kids do better on SAT tests than public school kids. That makes us look bad. Arrest them. Hey, wait a minute. Homeschool kids, they're homeschooled. They go right from high school to Harvard, to Stanford, to USC. They go right from homeschooling, they go right to Northwestern University or straight to Johns Hopkins University. What's with that? Can't have that. Let's arrest them. Or homeschool kids, a lot of them with their homeschool projects, A lot of them start their first company between the ages of 16 to 18. We can't have that. Arrest them. Hey, I know homeschool kids who are attorneys working for the DOJ, attorneys working for law firms that are national icons, ACLJ for one. I know homeschoolers that are working for SpaceX now. I know homeschoolers who are in the Pentagon. I know homeschoolers that are, well, I know homeschoolers that are in this administration. How'd they get that way? Hey, how is it that there are more homeschoolers who know Latin than, than public school kids who don't. Why is that? Why is it important to learn Latin? Because Latin is the key that unlocks the learning of all other languages. Our founding fathers learned Latin so that they could learn French. They learned Latin so they could then go and learn Greek and Hebrew. Did you know that? And so I know what to do. If we've got homeschooling people teaching their kids how to learn Latin and how to do these things, we should arrest them. That makes a lot of sense. Crazy. Remarkable. This is, to me, this is not... Oh, I see. Netanyahu warns Iran, attack us and we will hit you harder than the last time. Israel hit them hard that time when they were allowed to hit them. Trump has held Israel back a lot. I don't know if you know that or not. President Trump has held Israel back from a lot of their actions. So they've been pretty much hands tied. So this headline news is saying, if in fact true, it's Israel news today. But, yeah, I don't know how much that would be allowed to happen because the United States keeps Israel on a pretty tight leash. So when Netanyahu warns, quote, attack us, Iran, and we will hit you harder than the last time, I don't know if Netanyahu's got the freedom to do that. I know he has the will to do it. He's a strong leader. I don't know if he's allowed to do that. I don't know if Trump would let him do that. We shall see. Yikes. Really? Is this true? Nightmare in the Netherlands. A 15-year-old girl who identified as a trans boy, then identified as a dog, brutally murders her parents... and then sends gruesome, bloody photos to her classmates. Have you had the chance to look at some of the mass shootings that have taken place in the last couple of years, both here in the US and in Europe? Did you know that they have been committed by and large, the propensity, have been LBGTQ, transgender, and some of them with hormone replacement therapy, and they snap? Are we doing this to these people? When somebody says, I don't identify, are we doing this to them by changing their God-given personality Gender, do we know what we're doing when we inject them with this hormonal replacement therapy? And they're going violent? Why do they go violent? They all go violent. Why do they go violent? This child clearly had mental illness. And then I think it was made worse by transgender therapy. This is a very tragic thing. Friends, listen, we've got to stop for time's sake. It's a sign of the times. It's perilous times. All of these headlines speak about wars and rumors of wars, Jesus said. All of these headlines speak about, in the last days, there'll be perilous times. Friend, please, never get sucked up into the headlines. You'll end in depression. and apply it to the headlines that you see. Because if, listen, you'll never discern, understand, and know what to do next if you don't have a biblical base for the rhetoric, the news, the reality, or not that's buzzing around us. Always invest your soul and your mind in the Word of God more now than ever before. Amen. Until next time, friends, stand strong, be in the word, be looking up. Christ is coming. I hope he comes now, but if he doesn't, we will be busy about our father's business. God bless.
