Is Trump a peacemaker or prophetic spark? Trumpet World probes his $150 billion Saudi deal and Qatar Boeing pact. The lift of Syria’s sanctions, talks with a former member of al Qaeda, and Qatar’s $400 million Air Force One “loan” stir debate. And Hamas negotiations, bypassing Israel, echo Psalm 83’s anti-Israel alliance.

Are U.S. gains a prophetic trap? A China tariff truce cuts rates to 30 percent and 10 percent, boosting stocks but empowering China, risking a trade siege (Isaiah 23).

Germany is becoming the military power Herbert W. Armstrong said it would be. New Chancellor Friedrich Merz vowed to build Europe’s strongest army, tripling defense spending to $150 billion. Russian sabotage, Cyprus’s Schengen bid, and Pope Leo XIV’s Catholic-Orthodox push fuel unity.

It is the 80th anniversary of victory in Europe. We remember the brave soldiers, the struggle against evil and the rallying of everyday people for a common cause. But there is an element of the history of V-E Day many have forgotten—God.

God saved Western civilization, and leaders, media and ordinary people joined in prayer to recognize the power of the Almighty. Mainstream newspapers and TV news paid tribute to the power of prayer in World War II.

Today however, society not only forgets God: It erases God from history.
