Every year, millions of people celebrate Halloween, Easter, Christmas and numerous other holidays fueled by consumerism. But are these holidays holy? Are they in the Bible?

Many Christians keep these days knowing their pagan origins; they justify their traditions by claiming they are all about family and giving. Is that OK in God’s eyes?

Callum Wood highlights the rise in pagan celebrations down under, but this trend applies globally. He also explains what the Bible says about these days and which holy days every true Christian should keep.

World War III has already begun and is being fought piecemeal around the world, Pope Leo said during his first overseas trip as pope. The panelists on Trumpet World dissect his visit to Turkey.

Ahead of the trip, the pope issued a letter on the upcoming 1,700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, the landmark meeting that established governmental involvement in Christian doctrine and changed the Western world forever.

Mihailo Zekic gives updates to the supposed peace in the Middle East.

Andrew Miiller discusses the ongoing lawfare in the United States and the tragic shooting of National Guard members in Washington, D.C.

Finally, host Richard Palmer updates us on news from Germany and how, once again, the coalition has failed. He highlights the failures of Chancellor Merz and how Mr. Gerald Flurry and Herbert Armstrong warned for decades that a coalition crisis in Germany will pave the way for a strong leader to rise.

In today’s episode, Josué Michels talks with Cypriot politician and lawyer Nicolaos Komnenos about Cyprus heading the presidency of the Council of the European Union, the rearming of Cyprus, and Germany’s growing influence in the region.

For decades, we have been warning about Cyprus's geopolitical significance and how it will be a launchpad for major world events. In this brief discussion, Michels and Komnenos elaborate on this and more.

America is withdrawing. This is no surprise considering the debt and other problems brewing within the nation. But as the U.S. retreats from the world scene, who will take its place?

Despite flip-flopping peace negotiations, Russia conducted a deadly strike in the heart of Ukraine, close to the Poland border. Jeremiah Jacques explains how this, combined with the Ukraine corruption scandal, once again shows that peace is not around the corner. Also, China was caught red-handed with millions of dollars of shark fin contraband off the coast of Peru, showing that its quest for dominance is not limited to military and technology.

America’s withdrawal from the world has a massive impact on NATO, leaving a leadership void that needs to be filled. Host Richard Palmer highlights clips of Herbert W. Armstrong pointing to Germany filling that void. We now see this happening.

President Donald Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had a warm meeting at the White House with great fanfare. Is this another Abraham Accords moment? Mihailo Zekic points out how the Saudis want something for their cooperation: nukes. Is this really the path to eternal peace in the Middle East?

Finally, Andrew Miiller discusses the interesting trend of Anglican priests fleeing to Catholicism. This is particularly noticeable in England. The Bible prophesies that the Catholic Church will gather in her protesting daughters. In America, the Epstein files have officially been voted for release. Although this is important, Miiller highlights the immense amount of sex trafficking that still occurs daily.

Canada was once a great country, loyal to the British Empire, but today it is almost unrecognizable.

Host Richard Palmer sits down with Abraham Blondeau to discuss all things Canada, from the elections and recent budget to the immigration crisis, ludicrous court rulings and the terrible division permeating cities.

What has happened to Canada, and where are these trends leading? They also discuss the incredible opportunities Canada has had thanks to the blessings and promises outlined in your Bible. They point to Herbert W. Armstrong’s book The United States and Britain in Prophecy and how despite all the problems in Canada, there is still great hope for the nation and the people.

This week was a momentous week in news with President Trump welcoming to the White House Syria’s new leader, a man who formerly had a $10 million bounty on his head for terrorism. The two were laughing together, but what does this mean for the U.S., Syria and the world.
Mihailo Zekic discusses this as well as France welcoming another terrorist, Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas. He also discusses the recent elections in Iraq and what they mean for the region.
Andrew Miiller updates us on the end of the government shutdown and how money troubles still plague the United States. He also breaks down the new findings from the Epstein files and Barack Obama’s involvement.
Is Russia bankrupt and ready to collapse? This is the narrative being circulated by many, but as Jeremiah Jacques details, it is far from the truth—Putin is powerful and not going anywhere. Also, China put a bounty on two Taiwanese influencers.
Finally, host Richard Palmer updates us on Germany and Europe and how Herbert W. Armstrong’s forecast about Nazi Germany rising from the underground is coming to pass before our eyes.

A Communist Shia Muslim is now the mayor of New York City. For the first time in the city’s history, citizens elected a self-avowed socialist. Conservatives are wondering how this could have happened, even in New York. Andrew Miiller breaks down this shocking news, as well as America’s religious divide. China has a choke hold on American goods, and the United States is unaware.

China also has control of lithium-ion batteries, mature semiconductors and pharmaceutical ingredients—all of which enable China to weaponize crucial global supply chains, giving it major leverage over the U.S. in particular. Jeremiah Jacques explains this, along with Russia’s advances and a typhoon that hit the Philippines.

The German government sees military drone technology as so important that it is even funding failed manufacturers to gain an advantage in the drone arms race. Host Richard Palmer explains this alarming obsession with drones and how Germany’s new National Security Council held its first meeting on Wednesday.

Mihailo Zekic concludes the program by discussing a report that the U.S. will have a military presence in Damascus to monitor Syria-Israel relations, along with other stories about how the U.S. is cozying up to the al Qaeda regime in Syria, setting the stage for the Psalm 83 alliance.

This world is full of injustice. We can see and even feel it daily. Countless institutions have been set up to bring justice, peace and hope to society.

Mihailo Zekic provides a special report from The Hague, Netherlands, the seat of international “justice.” He discusses the history of these organizations and highlights how woefully short they have fallen of solving man’s issues.

Looking to Herbert W. Armstrong's teachings and work as an ambassador for world peace, Mihailo explains the root problem plaguing mankind and how the solution cannot be obtained through any building, nation or organization.

Hurricane Melissa devastated the Caribbean and surrounding areas, showing once again the power of natural disasters. Andrew Miiller provides an update on this, as well as the Trump administration's crackdown on cartels from Venezuela. He also talks about the shameful but barely covered Arctic Frost scandal, which further proves that the Obama-Biden administration was corrupt and sabotaged President Trump.

The majority of the Western world is spewing lies about genocide in Gaza while ignoring actual genocide in Sudan. Mihailo Zekic updates us on the horrific events in Sudan and how the bloodstained sand is literally visible from space.

Russia has advanced further into Ukraine, marking a momentous shift in the war. Povrovsk is a key city that could shape the war’s outcome. Jeremiah Jacques gives us the details of this and the ineffective sanctions placed on Russian oil. Russia’s allies have found loopholes or are simply ignoring the restrictions.

It seems every week we discuss a European political crisis. This week, it is the Dutch. After another tumultuous election in the Netherlands, another coalition is likely pushing Europe toward a strong leader. Host Richard Palmer talks about this and covers some other stories from the UK. Prince Andrew is no longer a prince; he has been stripped of his titles and even his home. The UK accidentally released a migrant rapist and is now conducting a manhunt to get him back into custody and deported.
