We begin with troublesome events in the USA, pertaining to attempts to compel men AND women to register for the draft. We also speak about the stunning election results in Iowa.

We are focusing on developments pertaining to Donald Trump and speak on Hillary Clinton’s growing email scandal which should normally result in an indictment and her resignation from the democratic race for the presidency (although most commentators do not expect this to happen); and we report on President Obama’s “complicated” relationship with Muslims (also in light of the fact that almost 30 percent of Americans believe that he is a Muslim).

We continue with revealing articles about the growth of European armies and the “comeback” of an interesting German politician. We continue with Angela Merkel’s attempts to placate Germans, while Germany’s third-strongest party causes uproar and a storm of criticism.

We report on America’s and Britain’s apparent 18-year-long spying activities on their “friend” Israel and on the fragile relationship between the EU and Britain, as well as on more violence in Israel.

We conclude with an article on America’s, Russia’s and China’s moon landings and on striking color photos of the moon landing by the Chinese, which should convince every honest and unprejudiced observer that the moon landings were real and not hoaxes.

We begin with reports on the Middle East, including articles about and pertaining to Iran, Israel and Egypt.

We continue with shocking revelations about the migrant crisis in Germany and its undesired, but rather certain consequences; and address the role Islam might be playing in this context.

We are writing about events in Great Britain pertaining to ridiculous recommendations of “Christian” clergymen; and focus on the reactions of a lengthy British report by a former high court judge, charging Vladimir Putin with the “probable” order of murdering Alexander Litvinenko—a British citizen and former Russian spy—in the streets of London… allegedly in part for revealing extremely damaging personal facts about Putin. In spite of this, the British government under Mr. Cameron realizes their utter “helplessness” in the matter and seems to be willing to treat this report about a ten-year-long murder investigation as “murky water under the bridge.”

We report on developments pertaining to Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump; a new scandal in Texas involving Planned Parenthood; strong accusations against the FBI regarding the death of one protestor in Oregon; the spreading of the Zika virus in America and Europe; a new dangerous game for teens; and a serious locust plague in Argentina.

We conclude with astonishing revelations about the total lack of belief of young Icelanders in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, even though one of the ancient tribes of the House of Israel—Benjamin—settled in Iceland and can be found there today (as well as in Norway).

We are reporting on the ongoing debate regarding the “Natural Born Citizen” clause in the US Constitution and what it means for the eligibility of a Presidential candidate; we continue with the highly doubtful possibility that Hillary Clinton might be criminally charged for alleged “serious legal violations”; and we address the Iran “deal” which has led now to the lifting of sanctions and the forthcoming payment of billions of dollars to Iran, while especially Saudi Arabia is very unhappy about these developments.

Germany’s former President of Bavaria, Edmund Stoiber, is asking for the closure of Germany’s borders to all migrants, while Germany’s “apocalyptic mood” against Angela Merkel is “boiling over.”

The relationship between the EU and Israel is deteriorating in light of the EU’s position “that the lands Israel has occupied since the 1967 Middle East war – including the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights – are not part of the internationally recognized borders of Israel.”

Warnings are uttered that a coming recession will be worse than the one in 2008. We also report on rumors pertaining to President Obama’s alleged future plans; Vice President Biden’s outbursts in Davos; and the left-liberal state of California’s enactment of a law requiring “all California public school students to take sex education [classes] beginning in seventh grade.” These classes will apparently include the unbiblical teaching of “gender identity” and the liberal view on “sexual orientation.” At this point, the state allows concerned parents to “formally opt out by submitting a document to their school or district.”

We conclude with attempts by the Church of England, the Coptic Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church to universally “fix the date of Easter within the next five to 10 years.” We explain why Easter celebrations (regardless as to when they occur) are not in accordance with biblical teaching.

We begin with a plea by the New York Times for mass deportations in Germany and Angela Merkel’s resignation; continue with reports on Germany’s continuing massive cover-up pertaining to its migrant crisis and crimes perpetrated by refugees; and we quote European politicians to the effect that in their opinion, any hope for true integration of Islamic migrants into the European society is absolutely preposterous. For more information, please view our most recent StandingWatch program, “Germany’s Massive Cover Up of Migrant Violence.” You might also want to view again our previous StandingWatch program from October 2015, titled, “Germany’s Disastrous Migrant Crisis.” 

We warn that terrorists are concentrating on a repeat of their September 11, 2001 attack; but that this time, their main target will be Europe in 2016. We also report on a terror attack in Turkey.

We continue with the interesting role which Turkey is already playing on the world scene, pointing out that the Bible has much to say about Turkey’s future activities.

We speak on Vladimir Putin’s world view and President Obama’s 2016 State of the Union Address.

We discuss America’s and especially California’s massive cover-up and misrepresentations regarding mandatory vaccinations, while intentionally denying the proven fact of vaccines’ serious side effects, such as autism.

We speak of incredible and DANGEROUS mysticism in the Catholic Church, pertaining to photos, visions, dreams and messages of the “Virgin Mary,” and we conclude with an article about terrible scandals of jackpot fixing in the Powerball lottery, convicting the former security director of massive fraudulent conduct.

We start with the highly explosive situation in the Middle East, involving Saudi Arabia and Iran—or, more precisely, the age-old battle between Sunni and Shiite Muslims. Many commentators fear that we are seeing the beginning of a bloody war, forcing nearly “all actors” in the region to choose sides. The Bible tells us much about the outcome, and it also makes clear that there is no reason to believe that either Saudi Arabia or Iran will become the leader over many other Arab nations in a fight against Israel or Europe.

For more information, please read our free booklet, “Middle Eastern and African Nations in Bible Prophecy” and view our new StandingWatch program, titled, “Ongoing Tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran… Where Will They Lead?” The prophesied events may surprise some, but we can already see the beginning of their fulfillment.

Another focus in this edition is directed towards attacks of about 1,000 men of “Arab or North African background” on men and women in Cologne, Germany (as well as in other German cities) during New Year’s Eve… and the perception of a massive cover-up by the local police department, the major’s office, the German federal government and the German media for reasons of “political correctness” pertaining to the migrant crisis.

We are also reporting on North Korea’s claim of having developed a hydrogen bomb; China’s stock market crash on January 4 and again on January 7 and its devastating effects all over the world, showing that our economic situation is really fragile; and the shocking revelation that most Americans are “just one paycheck away from the street.”

We are focusing on the job termination of a Harvard professor because of his critical comments regarding the LGBT movement; the incredible numbers of scientists and teachers believing in the ungodly Evolution theory; and a tragic case of a mother charged with attempted murder due to an unsuccessful abortion.

We conclude with an article in the Washington Post, raising the question as to why many in the Western World celebrate New Year’s Day on January 1, making the case that many other cultures don’t, and that for good reasons.

We begin with a reflection on events in 2015, which paint a pretty grim and uncertain picture of a world in turmoil and “on edge.” But as our Editorial in this Update shows, things will even get worse in 2016. We also emphasize developments in Germany, including the desire of building a unified European army.

We continue with frightening news on increasing Holocaust denials in Eastern Europe, and we focus on an interesting personality in Israel—Rabbi Yehudah Glick, the director of the Temple Mount Heritage Foundation, which advocates the freedom of Jews to pray on the Temple Mount. Glick had previously worked as the executive director of The Temple Institute, a group that supports the building of the Third Temple on the Temple Mount. The article points out the distinct possibility that Glick might soon become a member of the Israeli parliament. We comment that the Bible reveals that a Third Temple will be built prior to Christ’s Return, and that arguments to the contrary are unconvincing.

We speak on the true pagan origin of Christmas, which can even be seen in most of the languages describing this festival; address the false evolution theory and the ridiculous conclusions of some atheistic evolutionary “scientists” and popular writers; and we discuss controversial statements regarding and pertaining to Islam and Mohammed.

We conclude with a “prophecy” for Europe by a truly blind mystic, called the “Nostradamus of the Balkans”; and with an eye-opening article on the spread of Gonorrhea, which might become untreatable. The tragic fact is that it is clearly preventable.

Among the many topics which we are addressing this week, we begin with interesting developments pertaining to Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders; continue with political corruption in the US government; the ongoing threats from terrorists for the USA and Europe; Christmas nonsense and Sabbath keeping, and the fighting of EU members against each other and especially Germany.

We focus on Syria and the dubious role Germany and the USA may be playing in this regard, and the apparent duplicity of Turkey, as well as the unprecedented number of refugees around the world.

We conclude with real threats from space; the incredible confusion within the “Christian” world; and the eye-opening article about American politics and newspapers reporting on Adolf Hitler in the 1930s… which might serve as a warning for us today.

It seems like Donald Trump is unstoppable. No matter what he says, his support is growing amongst GOP voters. The GOP establishment is very worried about this development, and rumors have it that they are trying to topple Trump through the means of questionable politics. Dr. Ben Carson stated that if this alleged hypocritical conspiracy is true, he will resign from the race.

We continue to explain how America under Trump could clash with Germany, while “anti-Islamisation” politician Geert Wilders of The Netherlands went on record supporting Trump as US President. Wilders has been named politician of the year for the third time in a Dutch poll, while his Freedom Party gains ground in the country. At the same time, Marine Le Pen of France suffered a stunning defeat in regional elections, due to risky political maneuvering of the Socialists and the Republicans.

Angela Merkel is trying to appease the German public, stating that the country must now “noticeably reduce” the number of new arrivals of refugees, and that migrants must assimilate into German society, while dismissing the idea of multiculturalism. However, the concept of parallel societies with different religions, customs and laws, which is condoned, if not supported by the Obama Administration, has proven to be a big problem in Germany and Western Europe, which, according to Merkel, is a grand delusion which has utterly failed. It is also condemned in the Bible.

Focusing on events evolving around terrorist groups, we report that at least 72 employees at the Department of Homeland Security are listed on the U.S. terrorist watch list; point out frightening activities of Muslim Brotherhood organizations in the USA with the approval of the White House; mention the concern that ISIS is printing fake Syria passports for “refugees”; and speak on a fragile Saudi-Arabian coalition with other nations against ISIS, which is not joined by Iran.

We continue to focus on the ongoing clash between Russia and Turkey (which was apparently intentionally caused by Turkey).

We conclude with announcements by the Catholic Church that they will not attempt to convert Jews, correctly calling anti-Semitism a sin against God and man. However, the Catholic Church is overlooking an important truth in regard to the Bible and the Jewish faith.

We focus on Germany’s decision to engage militarily in the Syrian war, which has caused some to issue strong warnings against such “illusionary” attempts without any clear prospect for success. We continue with covering the San Bernardino terror attack and outspoken comments by Donald Trump, which have met with harsh criticism.

We also describe dangerous Russian war-mongering propaganda against Berlin, Washington and Istanbul; a referendum of the Danish people against “more Europe”; and statements by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the effect that Israel could easily destroy the Al-Aqsa mosque on the Temple Mount.

We continue with an article by an Arabic scholar debunking the Islamic claim regarding the Temple Mount; and we report on a remarkable find of righteous King Hezekiah’s royal seal.

We speak on a dumb-founding revelation that California owns all DNA of children born in the state since 1983 and what is being done with the blood of newborn babies.

We conclude with an article which, if true, would show incredible religious persecution of a Junior High School student in Texas, and attempts by the White House to give even further powers to the IRS

We begin with an article alleging that it was always the goal of the EU to become a world-ruling super state and a world government, followed by reports contending that the West with its rotten culture cannot win against ISIS and that President Obama’s anti-Islamic state coalition against ISIS is crumbling. We also speak on further insight into the creation of ISIS.

We are addressing the White House’s ill-advised measures against America’s visa waiver program and serious concerns that Congress might even initiate further restrictions, thereby severely damaging America’s economy; and that Britain does not even have enough tornado jets to successfully bomb the Islamic State in Syria.

We are reporting on growing HIV infections in Europe, especially through migrants, and concerns by the German police that migrants are between three and four times more likely to commit crime than the general population.

We continue addressing Germany’s new war in Syria which is supported by almost 50% of the German population, and disturbing actions in France under its newly imposed emergency laws which could signal the beginning of the end of democratic liberties and freedoms.

Focusing on the worsening situation between Russia and Turkey, it does not appear that their conflict over Turkey’s destruction of a Russian war plane (which had briefly entered Turkish airspace) will be over any time soon; especially, since Putin and Erdogan seem to be the same kind of ruthless dictators and autocrats.

While the USA demands of Turkey to close its borders to Syria, new shocking revelations regarding the “Iran deal” really seem to give credence to Donald Trump’s charge that the USA is being ruled by “stupid leaders.”

We report on Israel’s problems with Europe and reactions to the climate talks in Paris; and we address the murders at the Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs and a mass shooting in Los Angeles.

We conclude with articles about misled and deceived young Americans’ views on atheistic evolution; a new dangerous virus; religious persecution in Kenya, leading to erroneous conclusions by a local Catholic priest pertaining to the Koran and the Bible; attempts to recreate ancient wines drunk by David and Jesus; questions regarding the celebration of Hanukkah; and controversial comments by the pope.
