Bird Flu and 4th Horseman's Ride The World Health Organization (WHO) is greatly concerned that the avian flu (H5N1) is passing to cows and goats and then to humans. Have farmers done anything, like feeding chicken manure, to cows that might have affected them? Were unnatural feedings of ground up animals to cows (which are vegetarians) the cause of 'mad cow disease'? Does the avian flu have an exceedingly high mortality rate for humans? Have any scientists suggested bird flu could be 100 times worse than COVID? Are the USA and China working on making bird flu more infectious? If so, why? Can scientists control all that can happen with biological experiments? Did Jesus warn about pestilences? Could scientists, farmers, corporations, governments, or just regular consumers cause diseases like will happen during the ride of the fourth horseman of the Apocalypse? Dr. Thiel and Steve Dupuie address these topics.

A new report shows that the number of suicides in the USA broke a record in 2022 that was surpassed with a new record in 2023. Many 'experts' have no answers for why this is occurring. Suicides have gone up since the FCC approved 988 as the national suicide prevention telephone number. What are factors that seem to contribute to increased suicides? Do 52% of Americans report loneliness? Are more Americans depressed than before? Do more despair of death? What about the influence of religion, marriage, and family? Does money make success? What is truth? Does the Bible speak about how to be happy? What about reliance on God? What about the LGBTQ influence? Has social media increased suicide rates among young men and women? Why? Should you talk with people who say they are considering suicide? What, according to the International Association for Suicide Prevention, are tips to help you assist those who are suicidal? Does suicide end existence according to the Bible? Why did God create anything? Why did God make you? What is your purpose? What about the purpose of everyone else? Dr. Thiel and Steve Dupuie discuss these topics.

The British Medical Journal reports that there is an increase in "gender dysphoria" "in young people." According to the Mayo Clinic, what is gender dysphoria? Is gender confusion physical or is there a psychological component associated with it? Does research suggest that most young people with it will to grow out of it? Is what are called "gender-affirming treatments" the right answer? Has it been reported that Sweden’s National Board of Health and Welfare determined that the risks of puberty blockers and treatment with hormones “currently outweigh the possible benefits” for minors? Did researchers at the University of Florida find that 81% of those who had undergone sex change surgeries in the past five years reported experiencing pain simply from normal movement in the weeks and months that followed? What about the effects of gender altering surgeries on fertility and libido? Have researchers concluded that there are often psychological comorbidities strongly associated with gender confusion? Do studies show that “gender-reassignment” treatments reduces suicides? Do males who undergo surgical genitalia removal have a highly increased suicide rate according to a peer-reviewed study published in The Journal of Urology? What are some of the side effect associated with “gender-reassignment” treatments? Does the Bible condone or condemn cross dressing? What did Jesus say about God making males and females? Can gender be determined by looking at XX and XY chromosomes? Are there 6500 genetic differences between males and females? Are there also differences between male and female brains that surgical and hormonal treatments do not change? Dr. Thiel and Steve Dupuie address these points.

The Bible speaks of three future resurrections. One part of scripture related to the third resurrection is the following: "13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." (Revelation 20:13-15). There is also Isaiah 65:20. Steve Dupuie goes over some aspects of this resurrection. A written article of related interest is available titled 'What Did Early Christians Understand About the Resurrections?' URL: https://www.cogwriter.com/resurrection.htm

What does the Bible teach about death? Why do people die? Do all die in Adam? Are the wages of sin death? What is sin? Why do righteous people die? Are people who are dead suffering or are they merely sleeping in their graves awaiting the resurrection? Did Jesus die so we can live again? Is there a time to die? Do people die at the time it is best for them as well as others affected by their death? Does this have biblical support? Is death one of "all things that work together for good"? Can death be a form of correction and/or and end of suffering from God? What about the second death? If we are to be resurrected, why die in the first place? Can this mortal put on immortality and this corruptible put on incorruption? What about love and John 3:16? Is there really a glorious eternity ahead? Should we be comforted by prophecies of Jesus' return and the resurrection? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel address these matters.

In March 2024, the Temple Institute recently pointed out that how God blessed the Sabbath, He also blessed the construction of a tent tabernacle. They pointed out progress from the ancient Israelites. Should Christians be making spiritual progress each year before Passover? The Temple institute has stated that the area called 'the Temple Mount' needs to be cleared of Muslim mosques, etc. so that a 'third temple' can be built. It also claims that it has four thriving red heifers, one of which it wants to sacrifice before the implementation of regular animal sacrifices. Has Hamas claimed that the existence and possible use of a red heifer was a factor in its attack in Israel on October 7, 2023? Does the Temple Institute believe it must have a massive temple in order for sacrifices to resume? Or is having a priesthood, an altar, and a tent enough? What does the Sanhedrin say about that? Did Ezra write that animal sacrifices were made after the first temple was destroyed, but before the second temple was started? Is that believed by numerous modern Jewish rabbis and scholars? Does the Bible teach that regular animal sacrifices will be resumed? Could there be any relationship to the stopping of them and the return of Jesus? Is the day of Jesus coming getting much closer? Dr. Thiel and Steve Dupuie address these issues.

Are European leaders quite concerned about a possibly second Donald Trump presidency? Have any European leaders publicly proposed developing 'Euronukes' because of Donald Trump? Do European leaders believe that Europe should have nuclear weapons independent from the United States of America? Does the Bible prophesy anything like nuclear destruction coming to the USA and its British-descended allies? Do biblical prophecies really point to the USA being destroyed by its European friends in places like Daniel 11:39 and Lamentations 1:1-2? Do Europeans think they need to have nukes whether or not Donald Trump gets into office again? Did the late Herbert W. Armstrong state back in 1989 that the Great Tribulation could actually begin with a nuclear attack by the coming European King of the North Beast power against cities in the USA, UK, and Canada? Are the Europeans now increasing their military spending and considering adding their own nukes? Is there hope from the coming Kingdom of God and the return of Jesus?

Is it sexist to call God 'Father'? What does the Old Testament teach? What about the New Testament? What did Jesus teach? Who did Jesus say to pray to? Are we supposed to worship God in truth or according to our preferences and traditions? Did any post New Testament writers, like Melito of Sardis, state that one needed to call God 'Father'? What did the Protestant United Church of Christ do related to that? Were they right to replace 'Heavenly Father' with 'Abba God'? What about the Roman Catholic 'Inclusive New Testament'? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel address these matters. A written article of related interest is available titled, 'Is The Father God?' URL: https://www.cogwriter.com/father.htm

In March 2024, the BBC reported that research was pointed to over a billion people being obese worldwide. Professor Majid Ezzati, of Imperial College London, said “In many of these island nations it comes down to the availability of healthy food versus unhealthy food. In some cases there have been aggressive marketing campaigns promoting unhealthy foods, while the cost and availability of healthier food can be more problematic.” Does the Bible teach to eat what is good? While millions are dying from hunger, over a billion are obese. What are diseases that the obese are more susceptible to? Since the obese tend to die sooner than others, should obesity be accepted or encouraged? What did Bill Maher state about the 'body positive movement'? Does the Bible condemn gluttony (overeating) and obesity? Did Jesus say to 'come as you are' or to 'repent and believe'? What are some ways to help lose weight? Is losing weight very difficult? Can Jesus help? If you fail, should you give up? What about the five second method of changing? Should the obese eat less? If that does not work, what should they do? What about exercise? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel address these issues.

In 2014 the USA and European Union put sanctions on Russia because of its acquisition of Crimea. Since Russia's 'Special Military Operation' into Ukraine, more sanctions were added. On February 23, 2024, the EU and USA announced more sanctions. Did the sanctions turn the "ruble into rubble" as Joe Biden hoped? Did Russia acquire more territory as Dr. Thiel warned in 2013, 2018, and 2022 prior to the current conflict? Was he right about sanctions? Will Russia and Europe acquire more territory? Will they one day trade more with each other? Will they one day turn against each other? What about Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, Georgia, and Armenia? Are the Russian-led 'kings of the Medes' prophesied to destroy the coming Babylonian European Beast power? Does Europe, starting with Benelux to the European Economic Community to the European Union look to be fulfilling Daniel 8:9? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel address these issues.

On February 16, 2024, some high level clergy of the Roman Catholic Church in Italy met with three Grand Masters of the Freemasons. Since the Vatican has prohibited its members from being Freemasons, why might this be? Are there related 'globalist' interests? Do the Freemasons assert that Pope Francis' encyclical 'Fratelli Tutti' (Brothers All), saying the Church had finally embraced “universal fraternity" is in line with "the great principle of modern Freemasonry"? Are there any biblical reasons to consider that the Church of Rome and the Freemasons may cooperate? What is Freemasonry according to the Freemasons? Could at least one of the kings mentioned in Revelation 17:12 be a Freemason or at least have ties to it? Are there any scriptures that suggest that the Freemasons may betray the Church of Rome? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel address these matters. A written article of related interest is available titled ' Freemasonry and the Destruction of Rome?' URL: https://www.cogwriter.com/freemasonry.htm

The 19th chapter of the Book of Genesis discusses the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, as well as Lot's wife turning into a pillar of salt. The New Testament warns that the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was to serve as an example for those who commit sexual immorality and who go after what it calls "strange flesh." Did the 1st century Jewish historian Josephus claim to see the pillar of salt that was Lot's wife? What does Wikipedia say? What did 'Israel365 News' report about the location of Lot's wife in 2024? Dr. Thiel holds up two photos of two claimed locations some believe could be the pillar of salt that Lot's wife turned into? Are there any geological reasons to think this may be so? Why might Jesus have said to, "Remember Lot's wife"? Are there relevant lessons to use now in the 21st century? Will most heed end time warnings or be more like Lot's wife? These matters are discussed by Steve Dupiue and Dr. Thiel. A written article of related interest, with photos, is available titled 'Biblical archaeology: Remember Lot’s wife? Here are photos claimed to be her' URL: https://www.cogwriter.com/news/old-testament-history/biblical-archaeology-remember-lots-wife-here-is-a-photo-claimed-to-be-her/

On February 2, 2024, the USA launched a massive attack against what it claimed were Iranian-back militias in retaliation for strikes against USA troops and other interests. Iraq and Iran condemned these attacks. Is this the start of World War Three? Who will be the protagonist for WWIII? What about a larger regional conflict in the Middle East? Does Iran have any theological reasons for attempting to cause chaos in the region? Could Iran damage the USA militarily through dirty bombs, electromagnetic pulse weapons, biological agents, and/or chemical weapons? If the USA were to have a direct war with Iran that it loses, could the USA be subjected to increased terrorism according to biblical prophecies? Dr. Thiel and Steve Dupuie address these matters. A written article of related interest is available titled ‘Iraq warns Middle East is now on ‘brink of the abyss’ after 16 killed in US revenge strikes on Iranian-backed militias’ URL: https://www.cogwriter.com/news/prophecy/iraq-warns-middle-east-is-now-on-brink-of-the-abyss-after-16-killed-in-us-revenge-strikes-on-iranian-backed-militias/

With the conflicts in the Middle East, Russia-Ukraine, and tensions between China and Taiwan, are we on the eve of destruction? Michael Snyder believes that World War Three has began. Has it? What are the beginning of sorrows that Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24:4-8? Should they trouble Christians? What about what happens afterwards according to Jesus in Matthew 24:9-14? Will the Philadelphian Christians be instructing "many" per Daniel 11:33 while being subject to persecution? Will the faithful getting their "fifteen minutes of fame," as the late Andy Warhol put it, succeed in fulfilling Matthew 24:14 related to proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom of God to the world as a witness? Did the late Herbert W. Armstrong teach that the Great Tribulation was the start of what could be called WWIII? DId he also teach that may involve nuclear weapons hitting cities in the UK, USA, and Canada? Will the Philadelphian Christians flee before the start of WWIII? What about terrorism and the predominantly Islamic nations of the Middle East and North Africa? Biblically, do we expect Armageddon, and a WWIV or WWV? Will there be a confederation including Russia, China, and others that will attack the coming European King of the North Beast power? How can we know the timing of what could be called WWIII, WWIV, and WWV? Is any of this related to a temporary peace deal as mentioned in Daniel 9:26-27? What does the Bible say about the ride of the second horseman of the Apocalypse? What should a Christian do according to Jesus? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel address these matters.

Many Americans are struggling financially and one survey pointed to 45% saying that they do not believe the American dream of prosperity is valid any more. Furthermore, it has been claimed by Bryn Elise that “the new American dream is to leave" and “pack up and head to ... somewhere where we aren’t being poisoned by our food, we don’t need 2-3 jobs to survive and where health care isn’t the luxury but the norm.” What will happen to their USA dollars after the USA is conquered? Are all people around the world about to have nowhere to hide, according to Michael Snyder, once more and more Artificial Intelligence is used? Philadelphian Christians have long felt that Americans (and others) will flee and escape to a place of safety in the wilderness, consistent with prophecies in Revelation 3:7-13 and 12:13-17. If so, how can they eat if the coming Beast and Antichrist power control buying and selling as Revelation 13:15-18 prophecies? Does the Bible give clues as to where a place of protection and escape could be? What about Moab in Isaiah 16 and references to Jordan in Jeremiah? What about Petra or some other rocky and cave-filled place in Jordan? Will only a minority of end-time Christians go there? How will they know when to go, as well as where not to go, according to Zephaniah 2? What did Jesus say to do? Dr. Thiel and Steve Dupuie address these questions. An article with more details on the possible place is available titled 'There is a Place of Safety for the Philadelphians. Why it May Be Near Petra' URL: https://www.cogwriter.com/place.htm

Could you have the wrong attitude about aging and the elderly? Should your goal be to retire and cease being productive? What does the Bible say about aging? Is it better to listen to God when you are in your youth? What about later? Since physical life is temporary, should that motivate us to better obey God? What are some things we can do physically in order to be healthier? What about avoiding things like smoking, too much alcohol, and obesity? What about spiritual things such as prayer, Bible study, paying attention to church services, and fasting? Are there benefits responding to God sooner than later? Who is Jesus the author of ETERNAL SALVATION for? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel go over these matters.

The journal 'Nature' ran an article titled, 'The science events to watch for in 2024.' These included advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI), telescopic cosmology, weaponized, mosquitoes, 'Beyond the pandemic,' dark matter, and super-fast supercomputers. Some of the issues sounded a bit ominous to Steve Dupuie. Are there real risks associated with genetically modified mosquitoes? Could there be an European military potential to dark matter? What about AI, the Jupiter exascale supercomputer, and biblical warnings about control of buying and selling (666)? Was the expansion of knowledge prophesied in the Bible in the Book of Daniel? What about in the Book of Genesis? Dr. Thiel and Steve Dupuie address these matters and more.

The BRICS' nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) have as one of their founding goals, to eliminate the need to use USA dollars in cross-border trade. Six additional nations have been invited to join BRICS in 2024, and India reports that six more are also being looked at. The BRICS nations have already begun to drop the USA dollar for some cross-border trading with Russia and China indicating that they had almost done so completely in late 2023. What will happen to the economy and value of the USA dollar if more and more nations stop using it as a primary reserve and trading currency? What about hyperinflation? Does the Bible prophesy destruction for a highly indebted nation in the end time? Is the USA the most indebted nation of all time? What about the intent and use of the Euro? Will Europe and Asia cooperate to eliminate the USA and its British-descended allies?

What are the goals of Hamas? What are its ties to the Muslim Brotherhood? Do they have the same end goal? Nadia Matar reported that the Palestinian Authority once waved flags that said, when translated into English, “On Saturdays, we will murder the Jews,” she said. “On Sundays, we will murder the Christians.” Do many Muslims intend to dominate much of the world? Does the Muslim Brotherhood want dominance from Spain to Indonesia? Do they and others in Islam look forward to a time when a caliphate will be ruled by one called the Imam Mahdi? Does this leader have any characteristics that are similar to the prophesied King of the South of Daniel 11? Is this leader supposed to arrive after a period of chaos according to Islamic hadiths? Does that sound similar to coming after the beginning of sorrows that Jesus spoke of in the 24th chapter of Matthew as well as after the start of the rides of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse of Revelation 6:1-8? Is the rise of a leader who will lead a pan-national Islamic confederation something that Christians should watch for? Dr. Thiel and Steve Dupuie address those topics in this video.

Although Jesus said that Moses wrote scripture and the Book of Deuteronomy states that Moses wrote scripture, could Moses even write anything? Many mainstream "scholars and experts" disagree. Is there archaeological evidence that supports whether or not Moses could possibly write? What about proto-Hebrew? Could the Exodus have been 1446 or 1250 BC? What about what Dr. Scott Stripling and the Mount Ebal curse stone? Did Dr. Adam Zertal end up concluding that Moses and Joshua existed as the Bible teaches? What about Sinai 177 of the Renfsheri Stele and Sinai 377 rock inscription dating to the 19th century BCE. What about the conclusions of Dr. Doug Petrovich? When faced with that which is falsely called science that disagrees with the Bible, what is a Christian supposed to do? Is there evidence that the Bible could have had writings from Moses?

Some claim that the Great Tribulation will begin in 2024. Some say that Jesus will return in 2024. Are either of those events possible based upon the words of our Savior or the prophet Daniel? Why or why not? What about September 12, 2024? When is the Day of Atonement in 2024? Are various heavenly signs to occur before or after the tribulation? What about the 'peace deal' of Daniel 9:26-27? Could the war between Hamas and Israel expand to directly involve Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, and others? What about the 'Union for the Mediterranean' and the King of the North and the King of the South? If God has a 6,000 year plan for humanity to be under Satan's sway, might Jesus return in 2031, with the countdown to His return beginning in the Fall or some other time in 2024?

The Continuing Church of God (CCOG) has now received over 1000 translations of its English language booklet, 'The Gospel of the Kingdom of God.' Should people rejoice (cf. Acts 15:3) or criticize this milestone? Has the CCOG done this in a cost-effective and efficient manner? Does the Bible prophesy the use of multiple languages? Are multiple languages implied by Jesus' commissions to the church in Matthew 24:14 and Matthew 28:19-20? What is the "open door' for the Philadelphian Christians? Does the full number of Gentiles (cf. Romans 11:25) need to come in during this age? Are minor languages significant according to the Apostle Paul? Is the CCOG preparing for the 'short work' of Romans 9:28? Does the Book of Revelation tell of people of all languages and tongues being saved? Has any Church of God since the formation of the true church in Acts 2 ever get information on the good news of the gospel of the kingdom translated into this many languages? What about the old Worldwide Church of God and the open door? Are there additional ways, like radio, that the CCOG is using to reach people around the world in different languages? Relating to translations, does the CCOG expect to have at least "hundreds more in 2024"? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel address these matters.

On November 17, 2023, European Central Bank President Christine LaGarde warned of a deglobalization that is resulting in international power blocks. She also said Europe needed to change--is that prophesied to happen. Two days prior, Russian Foreign Minester Sergey Lavrov. said there would be a multipolar world which was in the process of forming to push aside the USA and Western models. He also said that this would be a "new world order." Could this in any way tie to the final times of the Gentiles that Jesus and the Book of Revelation tell of? Is there a King of the North, King of the South, and a group of Kings from the East in the end times according to' the Bible? If so, why then does it not mention any King of the West? If the USA has been the King or President of the West' as the German press once put it, will the USA and its British-descended allies be conquered? What about a coming Islamic power? What about BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa), Latin America, and the 'Global South'? Who will defeat the coming Babylonian European Beast power? What will replace the power blocks and armies of this world? Should you pray for God's Kingdom to come? Dr. Thiel and Steve Dupuie cover these matters and more.

What should Christians focus on during these troubling times that Jesus referred to as "the beginning of sorrows"? The Jews of the Temple Institute sent out a newsletter on November 10, 2023 promoting the faith of Abraham. How was Abraham faithful? What did Abraham do? Did he believe, obey, and do work? Did he, as the Apostle Paul later admonished Christians, to "walk by faith, and not by sight" (2 Corinthians 5:7)? Are Christians saved by faith for good works? Might Christians experience suffering? Can the example of the faith of Abraham be an example for Christians? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel go over these matters.
