But the media generally don't care. Those who like our sick culture don't care. And those who lie, steal and cheat don't care.

It's as if people never heard of God's Ten Commandments. We've reached a zenith in this country with people "calling evil good and good evil." If ever there were a time and place for reminding them of right and wrong, this would be it. After all, the Commandments have been taken down from schools, universities, government buildings, courtrooms, law schools, even churches and synagogues.

Why would WND, a Christian, conservative news service, initiate an effort to place the Commandments on billboards throughout the nation? Because America needs an urgent reminder of who we once were. We were once a Christian nation. A lot of water has gone under the bridge since then. No one could have imagined what would transpire in America so rapidly and relentlessly.

One-hundred years ago, it was not unusual for newspapers to erect similar billboards. It was not unusual to see prayers printed in the daily paper. But that was before we forgot God. And look what happened to us as a nation.

WND billboard on U.S. 75 near Coit Road in North Dallas, Texas.

It's not the first time we've put up these kinds of billboards. The last time WND began such an endeavor was in 2013 – when Barack Obama was president. We thought that was a bad time in America. The nation had not been pushed so hopelessly off its moorings, its bearings. Think how America's character has changed since then.

In 2020, many people believed we had an election STOLEN. Today the same president who supposedly won is daring to run again. President Donald Trump has been indicted four times now – for nothing! To keep him from running and winning.

To make up for that, these precious words should be placed on billboards from coast to coast.

I don't have to tell this audience crime has skyrocketed in every way – especially in major cities. And even the government, which once held the line on it, now seems to embrace lawless behavior, doing its level best to ignore and inflame it. What a difference 10 years makes.

Many believe it's too late, that we may lose America. But I'm betting for another chance. I'm betting for a miracle. I'm counting on a merciful God that will seek our repentance. All we have to do is ask, sincerely. I hope and pray.

This campaign is intended to help awaken believers and non-believers alike to the wickedness and corruption that abound in America today, right now. It's time to meet God and say we're sorry.

This is a hard campaign for WND to wage alone. Since our successful Ten Commandments billboard campaign 10 years ago, we have been "canceled," attacked, mocked, lied about, suppressed, demonetized and blacklisted by Big Tech and other entities, threatened with extinction because we try to follow God's ways as a Christian news source. Nevertheless, we are now stepping out in faith in the One True God to ask for help in making His Commandments – not His suggestions – more widely known and thought about during this time of dire need.

We're also counting on America in seeing what is happening to this nation, once under God, and praying it will be once again.

Do you like the sound of that?

We're off to the races with our first billboard – right in the heart of Texas. It takes a long time to get one billboard up. This took three months. But it's a start – hopefully the start of many more.

America has never needed a campaign like this as badly as it does right now. God seeks sincere repentance from all of us. It's what he wants more than anything else from people who seek to walk with Him. He wants to forgive us all, and He seeks genuine revival and renewal.

The hour is late. Can you give as little as $25 to this cause, which should appeal to all Christians and Jews, all worshipers of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to display the Commandments on public billboards from coast to coast?

America desperately needs a reminder of Who guides the universe in the affairs of men and what He requires of His children. Americans need awareness of their sins before they can repent of them. And until that happens, America's fate has been cast to the wind. America needs the Ten Commandments – they need to be seen dramatically and boldly throughout this country.

II Chronicles 7:14 says, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

But if Americans don't understand their sin, which is defined by the Ten Commandments, how can they turn from their wicked ways? And how will God hear them and heal their land?

Please respond today by prayerfully contributing to this campaign to help spark real spiritual revival in what has long been the greatest nation on earth.

The post Why we're emphasizing the Ten Commandments appeared first on WND.

Glazov, the editor, assigned subject matter experts to review Obama's policy decisions as president, with a focus on foreign policy. This strategy provides a depth of reporting not found in other assessments of the Obama presidency, my own included.

It's unlikely that future Obama historians will know more about the Muslim Brotherhood than Robert Spencer, more about communism than Trevor Loudon, more about Benghazi than Clair Lopez, more about Israel than Daniel Greenfield or Dov Lipman, or more about Russia than J.R. Nyquist, just to name a few.

The opening chapter by John Drew sets the tone for what follows. Drew first met the future president when Obama was a student at Occidental College in Los Angeles.

The Obama Drew meets is a closeted homosexual and an uncloseted anti-colonialist and wannabe communist revolutionary. "There's going to be a revolution," Drew remembers Obama saying. "We need to be organized and grow the movement."

The President Obama we meet in future chapters is more discreet, and yet his policies suggest that the young man Drew met never really changed his outlook about communism or revolutionary Islam.

I do the book an injustice by summarizing each chapter, so let me focus on the one chapter I found most intriguing, "Obama's Russia Collusion" by J.R. Nyquist.

Nyquist begins with a question most Obama biographers have chosen to overlook – why were Obama's mother and his presumed father taking a Russian class? This is the class at the University of Hawaii in which they reportedly first met.

The year was 1960. The Cold War was at its peak. The Soviet Union was our avowed enemy. The Kenyan Barack Obama was, as Nyquist points out, an African socialist; the mom, Ann Dunham, a cultural Marxist.

Both openly disdained capitalism and tolerated America only for the perks. "Perhaps they were learning Russian because their ideals aligned with those of the 'socialist motherland'?" Nyquist asks.

Perhaps, too, Obama was groomed from the beginning to fulfill the pro-Soviet ambitions of his parents. If so, the choice of CPUSA member and possible KGB agent Frank Marshall Davis to be Obama's mentor was part of the plan.

Nyquist analyzes President Obama's seemingly schizophrenic Russia policy through the eyes of an Islam-friendly socialist who was possibly "the secret creature of the Russian communists."

This admittedly sounds like the stuff of a Le Carré novel, but Nyquist relates a story that, if true, adds considerable credence to his theory.

In 2010, Nyquist recorded an interview with American physicist Tom Fife who lived and worked in Russia in the 1990s. As Fife told the story, he was at a party hosted during that decade by a Russian physicist and his wife, "an apparatchik of some sort within the Communist Party."

The wife, who had been drinking, explained that America would soon have a black president who had been "groomed" to be just that.

"She said he had a white mother and he had a black African father," Fife continued. "She thought that this was great because then he wouldn't have any slave baggage to go along with it."

According to Fife, the woman said his name was "Barack," which was Arabic for blessing, and that "he'll be a blessing for our world efforts; a blessing for world communism."

The idea that Obama has been groomed by a communist-Islamist alliance is not as fanciful as it sounds. In 1979, Vernon Jarrett, a widely syndicated black columnist then with the Chicago Tribune, reported on a conversation he had with attorney Khalid Al-Mansour.

Jarrett, by the way, was the father-in-law of intimate Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett. As a young reporter and fellow traveler in Chicago, Jarrett had as mentor Frank Marshall Davis. Small world.

According to Jarrett, al-Mansour had been encouraging Arab leaders to take a more active role in black America. This effort would include "giving financial help to disadvantaged students." For the record, 1979 was the year Obama began his studies at the pricy Occidental College.

In March 2008, al-Mansour made the news once again. During an interview on a NY1 show "Inside City Hall," venerable black New York politico Percy Sutton matter-of-factly told host Dominic Carter how he first became aware of Barack Obama.

According to Sutton, he had been "introduced to [Obama] by a friend." Sutton described the friend, Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, as "the principal adviser to one of the world's richest men."

Sutton was referring here to Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal. Reportedly, al-Mansour asked that Sutton "please write a letter in support of [Obama] … a young man that has applied to Harvard." The well-connected Sutton obliged him, and the rest is history.

In my 2020 book, "Unmasking Obama," I tell the story of the media's desperate – but successful – effort to kill the Percy Sutton story before the 2008 election. The fact that Al-Waleed bin Talal and al-Mansour were both overt anti-Semites would not have played well in the final weeks of the campaign.

Future historians would do well to ignore the reporting of the legacy media altogether. For those interested in the real story, "Barack Obama's True Legacy" would be a much better place to start.

The post Is Barack Obama the real life Manchurian Candidate? appeared first on WND.

As mental health issues are exploding in the atheist West, with peaking suicide rates, the knowledge of how to protect the heart has never been more vital. How do we stay sane, balanced and healthy in a world where demons and men are waging horrendous wars, the young are ruthlessly slaughtered, and existential confusion and depression fill hearts with darkness and despair?

"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do – life itself – flows from it," said the wise king Solomon of Israel, as recorded in the ancient book of Proverbs, 4:23. The key to healing when the heart is hurt by the turmoil of this world is carefully outlined in the road map to mental health found in the thousands of years old, metaphysical writings of the Holy Scriptures.

The health of the heart of man, defined beyond the mere physical as his innermost being, begins with attention to the thoughts he allows to penetrate his mind. The path to peace of mind implies the need first to clean the heart of its evil passions. Without purity and a clear view of what is right and wrong, what leads into darkness and what carves the path into existential light, there can be no lasting mental peace.

Marxist atheism preaches a nihilist, relativist view of morality that leaves to the individual to decide what he feels is right or wrong. The traditional, historic Western view of these issues outline the very opposite, that the law of nature is a set order that applies to all men, that clearly defines good and evil as separate forces at work in the world. The road map to peace is not relative. It is not an individualized exercise in which each man decides for himself what he considers to be right or wrong, and thereby lives happily ever after. Man needs to use his mind to choose which forces he will allow to work within him. His own choices often produce the result.

What do we allow to enter our heart and which thoughts do we stop at the gate of the mind and prohibit from running their course of destruction within us? "The mind is like a guard, like a vigilant keeper of the inner Jerusalem," says St. Seraphim of Sarov, as found in the book "The Life and Teaching of Saint Seraphim of Sarov": "Standing on the height of spiritual contemplation, it watches through the eyes of purity the hostile powers which try to sneak into the soul and nestle themselves there." He describes your inner king as the mind, the ruler of your feelings. So, which thoughts do you allow to rule your feelings?

The person who pays heed to himself and the innermost workings of his mind, will thereby be following the teaching of St. Paul, taking the whole armor of God upon him, that he may be able to withstand the evil day and stand by the grace of God, as described in the ancient book of wisdom Ephesians, 6:13. The invisible enemies of men are actively trying to corrupt the mind, the entrance to the heart, in order to bring man into the same state of doom the demons of this world are already in. Their pleasure is to take dominion and engrave the heart with the same death and destruction that has sealed their own fate.

"God was favorably disposed to communicate and to take into his spiritual nature none of the manifested creatures but man, whom He came to love most of all His creatures," Macarius the Great, the Egyptian early church father, proclaimed. Man's soul, where God brings peace to his restless heart, is therefore the most valuable asset man has. It is from this source that his mental health springs forth.

"Where, except in uncreated light, can the darkness be drowned?" asks the famous writer C.S. Lewis, author of "The Chronicles of Narnia." He proclaims that Christianity gives a rational explanation to the road map for mental peace.

Before coming to any conclusions concerning the guilt of Donald Trump, let's watch what happens with these Trump indictments. Special counsel Jack Smith is 0 for 5 on appeals to the Supreme Court. Democrats have been continually reversed by this Supreme Court for using wrong laws and legal overreach and wrong interpretations of laws and the Constitution. All four Trump indictments by these Democratic prosecutors may suffer the same fate. We will not know until these cases go through the total process of trials and appeals all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. How many other accusations about Trump by Democrats have been proven false?

Let me say it again: All four indictments are by Democratic prosecutors with a political agenda.

Today, the general public is only getting what the mainstream media emphasize, just as with the Russia hoax, with January 6 as an "armed insurrection" and with a host of other Democratic false accusations, so watch what happens to public sentiment as these cases proceed and the people learn more about election fraud and more about the rights granted to Trump under our First Amendment.

Remember, 51 intelligence officers signed the false letter, the lie, that the Hunter laptop was Russian disinformation, and remember that 22 FBI agents lost their jobs for using the Clinton-produced Steele Dossier for a FISA warrant to spy on Trump, and remember that Democrats falsely claimed that January 6 was an armed insurrection (notice that Jack Smith is not claiming it was an insurrection) and that four officers died because of January 6, and remember that Democrats accused Trump of abusing his power when he asked the Georgia secretary of state to find 11,000 votes (notice that the DA in Georgia has not accused Trump of abuse of power) and when he asked Ukraine to investigate the Bidens regarding Burisma.

As with all U.S. citizens, Trump is assumed innocent until "proven" guilty by the due process in our Constitution. This includes the use of the 14th Amendment to try to stop Trump from running for president. All courts are subject to that due process. All. All courts are subject to uphold the rights of citizens that are enumerated in our Constitution. All. And the Constitution takes priority to any laws that are in conflict with it (that is why so many of Smith's convictions have been reversed and why so many laws and executive orders by Biden and the Democrats have been reversed).

Read Article VI of the Constitution, and then read the First Amendment and what it says about freedom of speech, the right of assembly and the right to request a redress for grievances. That is exactly opposite of what these prosecutors and the media want you to do. They want to interpret it for you. These indictments are not proof of crimes committed by Trump. They are indictments, accusations, nothing more.

So watch closely before coming to a conclusion about these cases. Be patient. Please do not fall into the trap of the left of condemning Trump before he is able to make his defense. The left hopes that you condemn Trump before the trials and appeals, hopes that you become wary and abandon Trump. So please be patient. Isn't that what you would want from people if you were in the same situation?

From Article VI of the United States Constitution:

"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."

The White House celebrated the decision as a win for taxpayers: after all, they pointed out, the 10 selected drugs were responsible for one-fifth of all Medicare Part D prescription costs between June 1, 2022, and May 31, 2023. "There is no reason," Biden said in a statement, "why Americans should be forced to pay more than any developed nation for life-saving prescriptions just to pad Big Pharma's pockets."

Of course, that's not what's really happening.

First off, drug development is unbelievably expensive. In 2019 alone, the pharmaceutical industry spent $83 billion on research and development. According to a 2020 study, which covered some 632 new therapeutic drugs and biologic agents approved by the FDA, the "estimated median capitalized research and development cost per product was $985 million, counting expenditures on failed trials." The average cost was $1.3 billion (some drugs are much more expensive to develop than others). According to the National Institutes of Health, the success rate of drug development is just 10 to 15%.

Americans bear the brunt of this cost – largely because other countries' free ride. But Americans also capture the industry upside of drug development in the United States. This is why, according to one 2010 study, the United States accounted for "42 percent of prescription drug spending and 40 percent of the total GDP among innovator countries and was responsible for the development of 43.7 percent of the (new molecular entities)." According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the pharmaceutical and medicine manufacturing industry is responsible for some 332,000 jobs.

So, what would the new regulations do? If they are implemented, according to National Review's Jeff Zymeri, drug development will drop off: "The CBO has predicted that the scheme provided for under the IRA would lead to a manufacturer-revenue loss of 15 percent. Such a cut in CBO's predicted 45 new drugs per year would suggest around 6.8 fewer drugs per year, totaling around 121 lost over the 18-year horizon, as one report estimated." The drugs most likely to disappear would be drugs that target rare conditions and thus have less of a market.

As an investor in biotech stock, I can say with confidence that investment will shift out of the sector and into other, freer sectors should the Biden administration move to quash profit margins in the sector. Why would investors sink money into a drug, only to find out that the more successful it is, the less profit there will be in it?

There is another solution: Force other countries to pay their fair share. This would ensure that Americans pay similar prices to those around the world, while also creating incentive for innovation. But that would require politicians to abandon their happy talk and deal in the real world. And that's not something politicians are likely to do.

On Sunday, Adams spoke at a brunch for New York Sun supporters at The American Hotel in tony Sag Harbor, New York. He said, "The city is not coming back. We're back back."

Apparently, he thinks his job is public relations, not actually solving the city's problems.

A Siena College poll shows more New York state voters disapprove than approve of Adams' response to the migrant crisis. So, what does the mayor do?

Last week, he launched a highly coordinated social media campaign, requiring more than 20 city agencies to tweet out a message applauding New York City's welcoming of migrants. "New York remains a beacon for all who come to our shores," one of the posts read.

The propaganda blitz, paid for by tax dollars, praises the "brave New Yorkers ready to help," including the mayor, of course. It's a slap in the face to New Yorkers already footing most of the bill for the crisis.

Adams dished more P.R. spin at Sunday's breakfast. Here's a taste:

Adams: "There's only two types of Americans – either you live in New York, or you wish you could."

Reality check: The city is going from Big Apple to shrunken apple, losing population massively. Some 400,000 people fled during 2020 and 2021, and in 2022, Manhattan was the only borough that did not lose population.

Worse, 158 financial firms have moved their headquarters out of New York City since 2019, taking nearly $1 trillion in managed assets with them.

Adams just returned from a whirlwind three-day trip to Israel, in part to attract business. Why not keep the businesses already here?

Last year, financial firms paid $5.4 billion in New York taxes, accounting for almost one-quarter of all personal income tax collections.

Taxpayers are leaving, and migrants who consume tax dollars are flooding in.

Adams: The media hype about crime in Times Square is "not the reality." He added, "People are out dining, dating, eating, enjoying the beauty of what this city has to offer."

Reality check: Times Square is overrun with junkies smoking crack pipes, drug dealers selling within view of cops, homeless people sprawled out and migrants loitering aimlessly.

In the last two years, major crime has skyrocketed 50% in the New York Police Department's Midtown South precinct, which includes Times Square, Madison Square Garden, Grand Central Station and Port Authority Bus Terminal.

Adams: "There is no disorder," he insists. He claims the city feels safe and orderly.

Reality check: Petty crime, including shoplifting, is soaring.

The subways are what New York Post columnist Steve Cuozzo calls a "rolling lunatic asylum."

Car thefts, illegal drug dealing, and fare beating are out of control. The mayor should be empowering the newly appointed NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban to crack down on small crimes because these send a dangerous message that anything will be tolerated.

On the migrant crisis, Adams said the immediate remedy is "allowing people to work." He said, "They're professionals, they're writers, they're journalists, they're in medical professions. We have a shortage of nurses." Adams added, "We were given a gift, that we now need to manage that gift."

Reality check: That's crazy talk.

Instead of having the backbone to tell President Joe Biden to close the border, Adams and fellow Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul are using work authorization as a political default position.

Hochul claims there are roughly 460,000 job openings in New York state, more than enough for every migrant seeking work. All that's needed is for Biden to cut the red tape on work authorizations. The nutty assumption is that a migrant can fill any job.

Data on the latest newcomers are not available, but according to Pew Research Center, most migrants do not speak English and do not have higher education.

California needs farm workers. New York needs hospitality workers. But beyond that, job openings are in nursing, software development and computer support, per The Hechinger Report and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Migrants are not job-ready for these positions.

Finally, Adams confessed to the audience: "This is going to be a retrospectively appreciated administration."

Reality check: Meanwhile, New Yorkers suffer.

The progressive agenda – sanctuary status, tolerance for disorder, coddling criminals – is destroying New York, and sadly, many other blue cities including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and Portland.

Tell Mayor Adams to dispense with the P.R. No one is fooled. Start governing.

Perhaps the most immediate consequence of this colossal blunder was that it instantly catapulted Trump to “legend” status in the eyes of the black men who lined the street as his motorcade wound its way to the Fulton County Jail last week. They see the mug shot as a symbol of “the man” sticking it to “the people,” a feeling with which they are intimately familiar.

On Friday, rappers Chief Keef and Lil Pump showed their support for Trump on social media. Lil Pump posted his own mug shot next to Trump’s on Instagram with the caption, “Free Trump.” Chief Keef posted a photo of Trump flashing a gang symbol, saying, “he good in da hood,” and predicted that if Trump ever gets convicted, he would “run the prison.”

This is more fake news by the Left. In 17 months a reelected President Trump will pardon all who have been victimized by these politically motivated prosecutions, including those criminally charged in state court.

Many presidential pardons over more than two centuries have fully protected the recipients against "all prosecutions and judicial proceedings," as President Washington broadly stated in his first pardon in 1797. No one credibly doubted then or now that a presidential pardon protects against state court prosecutions.

The text of the Constitution and decisions by the Supreme Court support a broad pardon power as a prerogative exclusive to the president. The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that "pardon and commutation decisions have not traditionally been the business of courts; as such, they are rarely, if ever, appropriate subjects for judicial review."

It will be up to President Trump, not the courts, whom to pardon, and he has indicated that he will be generous and merciful with this power, unlike other Republicans. Chief Justice Rehnquist explained on behalf of the Supreme Court that "the clemency and pardon power is committed, as is our tradition, to the authority of the executive."

The Pardon Clause is set forth in Article II, Section 2, Clause 1, of the Constitution, and applies to all "Offenses against the United States." All of the election integrity conduct by Republicans is viewed by Trump-haters as an offense against federal elections, and thus the conduct is pardonable regardless of where charges are filed.

Moreover, rights guaranteed by the Constitution have been expanded to apply against state infringement on them, as the Bill of Rights protects citizens against the states today. The liberal suggestion that a pardon would not apply against a county prosecutor is the opposite of what liberals have long insisted for the Bill of Rights.

The presidential pardon power in our Constitution was copied from the boundless pardon authority enjoyed by the king of England in 1787. Just three years ago, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit held that the "Framers modeled this provision on the pardon power of the English Crown," which of course was vast.

Only one narrow limit existed for pardons by the king of England, and only that same restriction was copied into the pardon power inserted into our Constitution for our president. That prevents the issuance of a pardon to undo an impeachment, which makes sense because impeachment is a legislative rather than judicial power.

Last year the Supreme Court, in ruling against New York gun control, emphasized that "the Constitution cannot be interpreted safely except by reference to the common law and to British institutions as they were when the instrument was framed and adopted." The king's vast pardon power confirms that this same pardon power in our Constitution is nearly endless.

One reason Trump is far ahead of his flailing rivals is that they refuse to pledge to pardon Trump, let alone the many other victims of these politicized prosecutions. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, himself running for reelection in Texas, chastised the unsuccessful rivals to Trump for how they refused at last week's debate to pledge to use the pardon power.

On Monday, the Obama-appointed federal judge in D.C. absurdly set the trial date for the sham prosecution there against Trump for the day before the Super Tuesday primary in early March. Trump immediately vowed to appeal, and the Supreme Court will likely shut down this and other prosecutions of Trump because they interfere with American voters selecting our next president.

The phrase the "United States" is chanted 71 times in the recent indictment of 19 Republicans in Atlanta. It begins by falsely stating that "Trump and the other Defendants charged in this Indictment refused to accept that Trump lost, and they knowingly and willfully joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favor of Trump."

This sham Fulton County indictment asserts offenses against the United States within the meaning of the Pardon Clause. Of course Trump can pardon everyone falsely charged in this politicized persecution, and he will.

Liberals further insist that President Trump cannot pardon himself, but 50 years ago President Nixon was advised by some that he could pardon himself. Nixon then chose not to.

The victims of the Left's political prosecutions should take solace that a reelected President Trump can and will pardon them. If timid Republican governors and legislators fail to stop political prosecutions then, once again, it will be Trump who single-handedly overcomes this.

The post Trump can and will pardon all appeared first on WND.

We all knew what Rosh Hashanah was. Half the kids in school took the day off. It was the Jewish New Year. Right? Not so much. The Jewish feast was started by men back in Babylon.

This is the day of the Feast of Trumpets. Few Jews know a thing about it – and neither do Christians.

That's odd because this is the date most associated with the Messiah's return.

Jesus says this in Matthew 24:30 and 31: "And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other."

And, since it's the Feast of Trumpets, there's the ram's horn, the shofar, the Hebrew word for trumpet. The blowing of the shofar signifies the beginning of the 10 days of repentance leading up to Yom Kippur or Day of Atonement, the holiest date on the Hebrew calendar.

But if that's not enough, later in Matthew 24:36 and 37, he adds: "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."

Why don't they know the day and the hour? Because this is the one feast that has an anomaly, a forgotten feast of the Jews and one that is completely a mystery to Christians.

Think about the Messiah's relationship to the Jews when you read this next verse in Zechariah 12:10 about when He returns: "And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn."

Who does that resemble? Jesus. The people are waiting for their Messiah. He's coming to save his people. Yet they start their greatest hour of mourning.

Why are they confused? Because it's the time of starting the traditional 10 days of mourning. And why are Christians caught unawares? Because they are not expecting Him because they don't know their Scriptures.

These are God's appointed holy days for all his people. They are called in the Bible "the Feasts of the Lord." They haven't been forgotten by God. They weren't forgotten or forsaken by Jesus, who observed them all. They weren't forgotten by His apostles, who observed them all. They were forsaken only by those who chose to separate the "church" from the practices of the Hebrews – divorcing followers of the Hebrew Messiah from their Hebrew and biblical roots.

How do I know this?

Because these holy days will be observed, again, in the Kingdom Jesus-Yeshua institutes upon His return to earth. It is prophesied just as surely as His return is prophesied.

In fact, the Hebrew calendar is a foreshadowing of redemption, with Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread and the Feast of First Fruits in the spring, followed by Shavout, which Christians call Pentecost, 50 days later. In the fall come the Trumpets, the Day of Atonement and Tabernacles. They all have significance and meaning with regard to the life, death, resurrection and return of Lord Jesus.

It's just that most Christians haven't been taught these things. They don't know what they don't know. They've been robbed of their own Hebrew roots – even their Christian roots! But one thing is undeniable: Christians still worship a Jewish Messiah. That's what our faith is all about. And, someday soon, a Jew is going to rule the world. Then it will all be clear, once again.

How will He return?

Let's look at what the Bible says in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17: "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."

That "trump" or trumpet could very well be on the Feast of Trumpets, one of these years. That would be the most likely time.

Then there would likely be 10 days of awe, leading up to the Day of Atonement, followed by Sukkot, when we truly tabernacle with Him.

Is it beginning to make sense? It's extremely rich and meaningful and will make your faith come alive if you take the time to study the Hebrew calendar and these Feasts of the Lord. They weren't just for yesterday. They are for today and tomorrow. They're not just Jewish traditions. They are God's appointed times for all His children.

If you're one of His children, or seek to be, take the time to learn about these holy days this year.

The Feast of Trumpets begins in this year on Sept. 16. You can read about all the His eternal appointed times in Leviticus 23.
