Armstrong and Gerald Flurry, host Richard Palmer explains how America's burgeoning debt threatens its very existence. Solve Your Money Troubles!“Why the Trumpet Watches America’s Economic Collapse”

Is Iran’s government about to fall? Will the United States really move on Greenland? Why is Germany’s intelligence service becoming far more aggressive? This week’s developments aren’t isolated—they signal major shifts in global power. In the Middle East, Iran faces escalating unrest as violence and economic strain challenge the regime’s hold on power. Is Tehran losing control? In the United States, Greenland is emerging as a strategic hotspot as Washington recalibrates military positions, trade routes and Arctic security. But are these moves enough—or will growing tensions help forge a power bloc against America? Across Europe, Germany’s intelligence service, originally built by an ex-Nazi, is expanding its reach amid rising war pressures and instability. Power is consolidating fast. Is the Continent moving toward tighter control? In Asia, China is deepening cooperation with its neighbors. Xi recently met with South Korea’s president, signaling China’s growing ambitions, including toward Taiwan.

Last Saturday, the world was stunned as U.S. military forces launched a bold overnight operation in Caracas—capturing Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and flying him to New York to face federal drug-trafficking and narco-terrorism charges. Venezuela sits atop the largest proven oil reserves on Earth, and this unprecedented strike has shaken the geopolitical balance from Beijing to Tehran, raising urgent questions about global power, sovereignty and the future of international law. In this timely panel discussion, host Richard Palmer sits down with Andrew Miiller, Jeremiah Jacques and Mihailo Zekic to ask the questions the world is now facing: What does this dramatic extraction mean for global powers like China, Iran and Russia? How is this unprecedented U.S. action reshaping international alliances and shifting the balance of power?

Activist group Turning Point USA hosted rapper Nicki Minaj in its recent “America Fest” as an example of a celebrity who has turned “Christian.” It doesn’t take much digging to show that platforming a pop star who glorifies sex sins and profanity is not Christian. But it is only the most high-profile recent example of artists wrapping a Christian bow on their otherwise worldly content. Andrew Miiller explores this trend and more. Host Richard Palmer dives into Pope Leo’s Christmas Day criticism of Israel, which was more than just another verbal insult. The pope’s comments show the Vatican’s centuries-old overarching desire to control the Holy Land. Jeremiah Jacques analyzes a new report from the U.S. Department of Defense, which shows China is massively upgrading its nuclear arsenal—while several other countries also flirt with gaining a nuclear bomb. One of those countries is Iran. Mihailo Zekic explains a think tank report that suggests Iran has finally decided to build a nuclear bomb.

The rise of Germany’s war machine made headlines in 2025. Soaring defense spending and the explosion of start-ups aiding development of AI drone technology and other military hardware are drawing attention to Germany. For decades, Herbert W. Armstrong and now Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry have highlighted the significance of this trend as it relates to Bible prophecy. In today’s episode, host Richard Palmer dives into several articles written over the past year by Mr. Flurry explaining why you need to watch Germany. “Germany Is Arming for World War III”“Who Is Leading Germany?”The United States and Britain in ProphecyThe King of the South

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi wants nuclear weapons—an amazing development for the only country to have nuclear weapons used against it so far. Where could a nuclear-armed Japan take the world in light of Bible prophecy? Jeremiah Jacques delves into this and more. While the world is focused on America’s battle with Venezuela, a different battle is taking place in Latin America: a proxy corporate battle between America and China over the Panama Canal. The Panama Canal used to be one of America’s greatest blessings; now, control over that canal threatens to cripple America. Andrew Miiller analyzes where the Panama Canal fits in with Bible prophecy and what it means now that America no longer controls it. Germany’s parliamentary budget committee has approved a record number of defense procurement projects, bringing the combined value of approved defense procurement projects in 2025 to about $120 billion. Germany is rapidly becoming Europe’s dominant military, which host Richard Palmer explains is a significant step toward fulfilling a major Bible prophecy. Finally, Mihailo Zekic examines last weekend’s Islamic State attack against American servicemen in Syria and where Syria fits in with Bible prophecy.
