Gerald Weston - TVCA1504 - In 2018, U.S. President Donald Trump made headlines for blasting several members of NATO for spending less than 2% of their national GDP on defense. Less than 10 years later, these nations have agreed to more than double their spending. Committing to invest 5% of GDP to defense at the 2025 NATO Summit in the Hague. Rebuilding these once proud militaries will take time. But the trajectory is clear, and you need to know where it is leading!

Stuart Wachowicz - TVCA1503 - In ancient Greece, physicians took an oath as they began their medical career. A form of the Hippocratic oath has been used for North American doctors for several decades. It includes the prohibition of giving "a deadly drug to anyone who asks for it." We can see that this promise is no longer very compatible with the social demands and expectations of today's society. As general healthcare practices, government legislations and public opinion change to allow, support and even encourage the practice of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID), how should a Christian respond to this increasingly common practice?

Our world is suffering. Soldiers endure the stress and violence of war. Innocent civilians are displaced or brutalized, caught between warring factions. Homes are destroyed, lives are disrupted, families are torn apart.

Even in countries free from armed conflicts, many people suffer from drug abuse, alcohol addiction, broken homes, and physical or sexual abuse. For some, their home life is filled with daily, silent suffering.

Millions more endure the effects of failed crops from extreme weather. Blistering heat; torrential rains; water supplies that are unreliable and contaminated; food shortages from failed crops. Electricity outages and infrastructure failures.

Our world is suffering. Far too many people live their lives from one agonizing moment to the next… With little relief in sight.

And so, many wonder, Why all the suffering? Especially, why do basically caring and loving people who really do try to treat their families and neighbors well… Why do they suffer, too?

These are important questions. And they are questions that deserve real answers. The Bible is the only place where we really find the truth about the big questions of life… and what comes at the end of this life. Because that’s a source of worry and internal torment for many as well. We’ll explore all of that on today’s program.

Gerald Weston - TVCA1501 - Jesus came to die the penalty for our sins. But what does that mean? The answer to this question may shock you. It can be found by studying one of the most famous passages in the entirety of scripture—John 3:16. Often referred to as ‘the Golden verse,’ this passage includes information vital to answering some of the most complex questions related to the Bible.

Many Christians passionately believe in the hope of the Rapture--the belief that before the terrors of the Great Tribulation descend upon the world, Christians around the globe will suddenly and mysteriously vanish, “raptured away” by Christ, as they are taken up into heaven to wait out the terrible events of that prophesied time of devastation and destruction. Meanwhile, those “left behind” must face the forces of the Antichrist and the Beast of Revelation, and all the suffering that those years will bring until Jesus Christ returns to finally settle the score.

Millions of people worldwide look forward to the Rapture as the culmination of their hopes and dreams.

But is this what the Bible actually teaches? Or should we expect end-time events to be very different?

Join us right now on Tomorrow’s World as we open God’s word and determine whether the Rapture is Fact or Fiction.

Stuart Wachowicz - TVCA1502 - Throughout mankind’s history, illness, depression, crime, and war have been thought of as unfortunate but normal. Considerations of global societies where none of these problems exist are often dismissed as fanciful tales of ‘utopia.’ ‘Utopia’ usually refers to an imaginary state, not something that could happen in the real world. The Bible contains many prophecies of a time when conditions on the earth will lack the unpleasant realities we now consider normal. Explore the better world that will soon replace our present world order.

The mishandling of student protests over Israel’s war in Gaza brought about the resignation of three Ivy League University Presidents in 2023 and 2024: Liz Magill of the University of Pennsylvania, Claudine Gay of Harvard, and Minouche Shafik of Columbia University. A fourth Ivy League President, Cornell’s Martha Pollack, also resigned, but claimed that she was considering stepping down prior to the protests. Strong calls were also made for Sally Kornbluth of MIT to resign amid the protests.

Something that struck me at the time was that all five of these prestigious university presidents were women. This is not to say that the same would not have happened had men been in charge at the time, but it surprised me how much women were taking over the ranks of university education.

For more perspective, not including interim presidents, the eight schools that make up the Ivy League have had 173 top leaders in their histories. During their long and distinguished histories, it was not until 1977 when Yale’s Hanna Gray became the first female to hold that position in an Ivy League school. Maurie McInnis now holds that position.

But since Hanna Gray, the top positions have increasingly gone to women—15 altogether. Why such a turnaround? What does it mean? At the end of this Tomorrow’s World telecast, I’ll show you how one woman led Israel to victory when masculinity was a matter of question and seemingly in short supply. I’ll also show you that the turnaround that we see in today’s western society was prophesied 2,700 years ago in the pages of the Bible.

A quarter to one third of the Bible is prophecy. And yet most people don’t take Bible prophecy seriously. Long-time viewers of Tomorrow’s World know that on this program, we not only discuss world news, current events, and Christian living. We discuss Bible prophecy.

And it’s not just because it’s a curiosity. It’s not just to discuss exciting things about the future. If we have ears to hear, God has a message for us in His word… Especially as end-time events draw nearer. We need to understand Bible prophecy.

So today on Tomorrow’s World, let’s dive into one of the prophetic books of the Old Testament. It’s one of the lesser-known books, one of the so-called Minor Prophets. The Minor Prophets are called that not because they are less important, but because they are much shorter. In fact, the book we’re talking about has only seven chapters. Which book am I referring to?

The book of Micah. It’s found in your Bible, toward the end of the Old Testament.

But what does the book of Micah have to do with you and me today? Is there something we can learn from it? Could this small, obscure book hold some unexpected treasures we can dig up, to help us as the end of the age draws near? Let’s answer these questions today on Tomorrow’s World.

I’ll begin today’s program with two simple questions: “Why marriage?” and “Why family?” These are questions few consider, but they are among the most important of all questions as the answers have everything to do with the very purpose of your life. Let’s be clear, marriages and families are in disarray everywhere. The family institution, though healthier at some times than others and in some countries than others, has never been understood as it is seen by almost everyone as an institution created by man. But is it? Or is there more to marriage and family?

In the wedding ceremony used by the Living Church of God, the sponsor of this Tomorrow’s World program, we state the following:

Marriage is not only a natural union, but also a divine institution, ordained of God. It was established not by man, but by the Eternal God at creation, and derives its authority not from civil codes of man, but from the divine laws of God, immutable and unchangeable from creation.

Is that true? Is marriage a divine institution? And if so, what is God’s purpose for marriage and family? These are the questions I’ll be answering on today’s program.

Almost 2,000 years ago Jesus Christ gave a dire warning: Mankind would eventually bring all life on earth to the point of extinction, and that only His return would prevent that catastrophe.

The fulfillment of this prophecy seemed impossible until the end of World War II, when the first weapons of mass destruction were deployed against Japan.

Yet in the decades that have followed, the ways in which humanity could commit planet-wide suicide have only increased, as the future Jesus prophesied has only become more realistic, not less.

Join me for this episode of Tomorrow’s World, where we will take heed to Jesus’ warning that “No Flesh Would be Saved.”
