In an exciting development that we at WPM have been reporting on, one of the world’s most famous physicists; Michio Kaku, has concluded that the universe was created by God! To be clear, Kaku has not yet professed a belief in God as revealed in the pages of Scripture, but that he would even speak in the terms he has is exciting and encouraging.
A senior official in the Russian Defense Ministry; Major General Igor Konashenkov issued a dire threat against the nation of Israel recently. In response to an alleged Israeli airstrike at the airport near the Syrian capital of Damascus, Konashenkov threatened to respond to further Israeli action in Syria with surface-to-surface missiles against targets inside Israel.
Frighteningly, people are becoming more accustomed to the idea of having microchips implanted in their body.
In yet another display of the threat to international peace and stability that their nation presents, Iran's nuclear chief, Ali Akbar Salehi, warned the European Union recently of “ominous” consequences if the EU does not follow through with actions to perpetuate the economic benefits of the 2015 nuclear agreement.
More than a decade after Hamas violently seized control over the Gaza Strip, leading to a split between their group and the Palestinian Authority, a recent Lebanese report suggests that Hamas is changing its mind and is willing to allow the Palestinian Authority to return to Gaza on the condition that elections be held within six months.

In yet another exciting instance of the Word of God being proven scientifically accurate, scientists in Switzerland and the United States have recently announced an amazing discovery. Senior Research Associate Mark Stoeckle and Research Associate David Thaler of the University of Basel, Switzerland have determined that all modern humans are descended from a common father and mother who appeared on the scene after a cataclysmic event almost wiped out the human race.

In a move that should sicken any sensible person, it has been recently reported by several news agencies that the radical Islamic organization known as Hamas has been training children to carry out terrorist actions in Gaza and Israel. Hamas has been the de facto governing authority of the Gaza Strip since its takeover of that area in 2007 and has instigated numerous conflicts with Israel.
Events are transpiring that are unnervingly paralleling the warnings of Bible prophecy. Noted economist Martin Armstrong has reported that a group of international financiers from the European Central Bank and the Federal Reserve are holding meetings to “advocate the elimination of all cash to bring to fruition the day when you cannot buy or sell anything without government approval.”
Due to a combination of factors — ranging from persecution by Arab and Islamic extremists, record high unemployment, a drop in tourism, and a shocking decrease in support for Israel among evangelicals — experts have noticed that, overall, the Christian faith is fading from certain areas within the Holy Land.
I wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving and to share a few thoughts about our celebration today.
Today is the day that our nation has established for generations to thank Almighty God for His blessings and benefits. I am thankful for my family, friends, health and well-being, the activities I am able to enjoy, the ministry efforts the Lord has blessed me with, and I am thankful for You!
As we may have the opportunity to share a meal or a time of fellowship with others today, let us remember that 1 Chronicles 29:14 teaches us that all we have – and can ever give – has first been given to us by God. The LORD reminds us in Psalm 103, that everything we have comes from His gracious hand. We can reflect on this glorious Psalm to find a basis for our giving thanks by observing some of God's gracious benefits:
• Forgiveness of sins - the first blessing we receive and the means to receiving more
blessing (Psalm 103:3)
• Divine healing - the blessing that allows us to continue in this life and enjoy all of His
blessings (Psalm 103:3)
• Loyal love - that fills our lives with God's goodness so we can truly say that we are
blessed! (Psalm 103:4)
• Righteous defense - a blessing much needed in this world that is against the believer
(Psalm 103:6)
• Eternal security - God has removed our sins from us as far as the east is from the
west (Psalm 103:11-12)
• Compassion toward us as weak mortals - God knows us and loves us all the same!
(Psalm 103:13)
• Faithfulness from generation to generation for the family that fears the LORD
(Psalm 103:17)
• The LORD on His throne - He rules our world from heaven and will one day return to
rule in Person (Psalm 103:19)
• God's angels - His heavenly helpers to His people on earth. (Psalm 103:20)
• God’s ministers -Those who fearlessly and faithfully proclaim His Word (Psalm
103:21)
• Our Father's world and works - this beautiful Creation made for His children to richly
enjoy (Psalm 103:22)
I am sure that you could add so many more blessings for which to be thankful and I am confident that you will give Him praise and thanksgiving for all that He has done.
As an interesting historical note, before 1863 there was not an established day for our national Thanksgiving celebration, each state had its own Thanksgiving celebration that took place at different times. On October 3, 1863 President Abraham Lincoln established a recognized day for national celebration and made the first Thanksgiving proclamation. Notice his recognition of God throughout:
"The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added... No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People.
I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility and Union."
- Abraham Lincoln (emphasis added)
May you and yours rejoice in our LORD and His riches to us in our Lord Jesus today, tomorrow, and every day!
Sincerely,
Dr. Ed Hindson
In another facet of a growing trend toward the fulfillment of the one-world currency prophesized in the pages of Scripture, Germany’s foreign minister Heiko Maas called for a new system of payments to be created that would be independent of the US and would allow Europe to be independent in its financial operations from Washington. Officials from Russia, Iran, and China quickly sounded their approval and intent to support such an effort that many see as a means of rescuing the nuclear deal between Iran and the west.
According to reports coming from those on the continent in the religious advocacy group Alliance Defending Freedom, over the past nine months, there have been at least 60 instances of attacks against Christians by Hindus in the Indian southern states of Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala.
