Show Notes

  • Professional risk assessors are looking at the biggest threats facing the world in the coming year—and they align remarkably with the prophecies of the Bible.
  • Fresh evidence continues to emerge of how Russia and China are propping up the regime of North Korea.
  • Iranian protests against their religious leaders are dissipating, and Tehran is pursuing its revolutionary goals undeterred.
  • Pope Francis weighs in on the Jerusalem question by saying there must be a two-state solution to the Arab-Jew conflict—in keeping with the Vatican’s view that Jerusalem should be an international city.
  • Despite strained relations, Turkey’s strongman president says he wants to pursue a better relationship with Europe and Germany.
  • We’ll also talk about Turkey’s rise as a military power—Japan’s rise as a military power—and some reports on crime, one from Germany and the other from Baltimore.
