Vice President J.D. Vance Will Headline March for Life  
Vice President J.D. Vance will headline the March for Life next Friday in Washington, D.C., continuing his support for the pro-life cause in his second consecutive year addressing the annual event. The March for Life, one of the largest human rights demonstrations in the world, is scheduled for Friday, January 23. Held each year near the anniversary of the infamous Roe v. Wade decision, the event defends unborn children from abortion.

A spokesman for the vice president confirmed the appearance exclusively to The Daily Wire, stating, “Vice President Vance is grateful to the tens of thousands of Americans who travel to the National Mall each year to speak out in support of life, and looks forward to joining them for the second consecutive year.”

The spokesman added, “President Trump has delivered more victories for the pro-life movement than any president in history,” and affirmed that “the vice president will continue to fight for the right to life alongside the president and his administration.” Vance, who has described himself as “100% pro-life,” previously spoke at the March for Life last year in his first remarks as vice president. He told demonstrators then, “It is a blessing to know the truth, and the truth is that unborn life is worthy of protection. So please, go forth, not with frustration, but with joy.” (Life News) Read More Here 
Abba Father, we praise You for celebration of precious Life!  Bless Vice President J.D. Vance, House Speaker Mike Johnson and Congressman Chris Smith as they address the March for Life event this Friday in Washington D.C.   We pray for each participant that will be traveling and joining alongside others to support protection of babies in the womb. Lord we are so grateful for the Pro-Life stance of our current administration and REJOICE over this year's March of Life theme, 'Life is a Gift.'  We sing HALLELUJAH for blessings of miraculous Life and we give all praise to You, Elohim, our God of Creation! In the powerful Name of Jesus Christ, we pray, Amen and Amen.

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." (Psalm 139: 13-14)

Iran Says Executions May Proceed, Warns Any Attack on Leader Signals ‘All-Out War’

The Iranian regime warned on Jan. 18 that “any aggression” against its leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, would amount to waging “all-out war” against Iran, and indicated it may proceed with executing hundreds of citizens detained during protests that have swept the country over the last three weeks.

Faced with a worsening economy and skyrocketing inflation, Iranian citizens have amassed in the largest wave of protests to hit the nation since its 1979 Islamic revolution, taking to the streets on Dec. 28, 2025, to call for an end to the Islamist regime’s theocratic clerical rule.

U.S. President Donald Trump has reiterated that Washington stands ready to intervene if the regime continues to kill protesters in the streets or orders executions. In a social media post on Jan. 16, Trump thanked Iran’s leaders for cancelling more than 800 executions that he said were scheduled to take place on Thursday.

However, the Iranian judiciary seemingly indicated on Sunday that executions may proceed as previously planned.

“A series of actions have been identified as Mohareb, which is among the most severe Islamic punishments,” Iranian judiciary spokesperson Asghar Jahangir said during a press conference on Jan. 18.

Moharebeh is an Islamic-Arabic term that translates to “fighting God” and is punishable with death under the Iranian regime’s rule. One who commits moharebeh is called a mohareb.

Trump told Politico in an interview on Jan. 17, “It’s time to look for new leadership in Iran.”

Despite the thousands of confirmed deaths since protests broke out late last month, with estimates increasing by the day, Khamenei and the Iranian regime have repeatedly blamed Trump for the “casualties” and chaos engulfing Iran.

The regime escalated its rhetoric against Washington on Sunday.

“If the people of [Iran] face hardship and difficulties in their lives, one of the main reasons for it is the longstanding enmity and inhumane sanctions imposed by the United States government and its allies,” Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian wrote on social media. “Any aggression against the Supreme Leader of our country is tantamount to all-out war against the Iranian nation.” (Read more)

Lord, we continue to lift up all protesters and citizens of Iran to you and we pray protection over their lives, their property, and their families. Regardless of their background of faith, we love Your creation, and we know you are always forgiving and loving towards us. We pray those in Iran would have visitations of you and choose to follow you. Give Trump the discernment to identify the right strategies for the Iranian communities. In Your name, O Lord, we pray, amen.

"You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you."     (Psalm 86:5)

EU Leaders Ready to ‘Defend Ourselves’ Amid US Tariff Threats Over Greenland

European Union leaders said after an emergency meeting on Jan. 18 that their nations are ready to defend themselves after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed new tariffs on Europe as pressure in his bid to take control of the North American island.

After the emergency talks, EU Council President Antonio Costa said that member states agree that tariffs “would undermine transatlantic relations and are incompatible with the EU-U.S. trade agreement.”

Costa said that EU leaders had expressed “readiness to defend ourselves against any form of coercion.”

Costa is expected to convene a full summit of EU leaders later this week.

The meeting comes as Trump has ramped up his efforts to gain control of Greenland for the United States, citing the island’s strategic importance, natural resources, and suggesting that adversaries like Russia or China could move in if the United States doesn’t.

Trump is planning to add a 10 percent tariff onto Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, and Finland starting on Feb. 1, which would increase to 25 percent on June 1, according to a Truth Social post he made on Jan. 17, “until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland.” (The Epoch TImes)  Read more here.

Lord God, we ask that You give President Trump wisdom, clarity, and understanding while dealing with the EU. We pray the European Union would have wisdom as well and want to work out a deal that’s best for them and the United States in Jesus name. Help us, Lord through this difficult situation, in Your name, amen and amen! 

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil. Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones.”         (‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3:5-8‬ ‭NLT‬‬)

Anti-ICE activists storm Minnesota church service; DOJ vows to investigate

The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating after a group of activists in Minnesota disrupted a Sunday service at a Southern Baptist church in St. Paul, where a local official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement allegedly serves as a pastor.

The protesters, including members of the Racial Justice Network and Black Lives Matter Minnesota, entered the sanctuary of Cities Church during the service led by senior pastor Jonathan Parnell. The protesters allege that one of the church’s pastors, David Easterwood, leads a local ICE field office in St. Paul. 

They reportedly chanted slogans such as "ICE out!" and demanded justice for Renee Good, the woman who died after being shot by an ICE officer on Jan. 10. The service was forced to conclude because of the disruption.

U.S. Department of Justice Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon vowed on social media Sunday that the agency is investigating the incident for “potential criminal violations of federal law.”

“A house of worship is not a public forum for your protest!” Dhillon wrote. “It is a space protected from exactly such acts by federal criminal and civil laws! Nor does the First Amendment protect your pseudo journalism of disrupting a prayer service. You are on notice!”

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said she has been in touch with the church’s pastor. 

“I just spoke to the Pastor in Minnesota whose church was targeted. Attacks against law enforcement and the intimidation of Christians are being met with the full force of federal law,” she wrote on X

“If state leaders refuse to act responsibly to prevent lawlessness, this Department of Justice will remain mobilized to prosecute federal crimes and ensure that the rule of law prevails.” (The Epoch Times) Read more here.

We pray for the safety of all law enforcement officers participating in strategic, dangerous efforts to rid our country of criminals. We pray over these protests and we declare that this violence ceases, in Jesus' name. We confuse all plans of the enemy to stir up more strife and break those plans with the blood of Jesus. Thank you, Lord, for restoring America’s safety, in Jesus' name amen.

“The LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!” (Isaiah 30:18)

World Economic Forum invites Iranian foreign minister to Davos after regime slaughter of Iranian civilians
United Against Nuclear Iran says WEF ignored letter urging exclusion of Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi 

The World Economic Forum is facing calls to freeze out members of the Iranian regime from a summit in Davos this week.

The Iran watchdog group United Against Nuclear Iran sent a letter to WEF President Borge Brende on Friday urging the group not to invite any officials from the Islamic Republic of Iran. The group tells Fox News Digital that WEF did not respond to the letter, and instead the forum added an interview with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to the summit's schedule on Sunday.

WEF did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

UANI CEO Mark Wallace, who previously served as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under President George W. Bush, cited human rights group reports regarding the mass slaughter of Iranian civilians by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's regime.

"Just this month, the Iranian regime has carried out what some believe to be the largest massacre in its history," Wallace wrote to Brende. "Araghchi is a member of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), which reportedly issued an order to use live fire on Iranian civilians protesting. Estimates suggest the regime killed at least 12,000 and up to 20,000 Iranians over the course of a few days in January as they exercised their fundamental rights to demonstrate against the Ayatollah and his tyranny."

"Hosting Iranian regime officials, such as Araghchi, who whitewash this record is deeply offensive and would be wholly inappropriate to platform at a Forum whose theme this year is 'A Spirit of Dialogue.' Instead of dialogue, the Islamic Republic offered bullets to these brave Iranians," Wallace continued.

Iran’s supreme leader publicly acknowledged for the first time Saturday that thousands of people were killed during recent anti-government protests, according to reporting from the BBC.

Khamenei made the remarks during a public address Saturday, blaming the U.S. for the unrest and violence and saying some protesters died "in an inhuman, savage manner."

FOCUS ON ISRAEL

1. Catholic Church condemns Christian Zionism as “damaging ideology” that threatens Church unity - Israel 365 News

The Catholic Church and its allied denominations in Jerusalem just declared war on Christian Zionism. In a statement released January 17, the Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in the Holy Land—led by the Roman Catholic hierarchy along with Eastern Catholic, Orthodox, and other traditional church leaders—condemned Christian support for Israel as a “damaging ideology” that misleads the public and harms Christian unity. The statement represents the Catholic Church’s most direct assault yet on the millions of evangelical Christians whose biblical interpretation leads them to support the Jewish state.

The Catholic-led coalition opened with a bold assertion of ecclesiastical authority: “The Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in the Holy Land affirm before the faithful and before the world that the flock of Christ in this land is entrusted to the Apostolic Churches, which have borne their sacred ministry across centuries with steadfast devotion.”

Then came the condemnation: “Recent activities undertaken by local individuals who advance damaging ideologies, such as Christian Zionism, mislead the public, sow confusion, and harm the unity of our flock. These undertakings have found favor among certain political actors in Israel and beyond who seek to push a political agenda which may harm the Christian presence in the Holy Land and the wider Middle East.” (Read more)

"Phase two means one simple thing: Hamas will be disarmed, and Gaza will be demilitarized, either through the easy way or the hard way," said Netanyahu.

He emphasized that Israel would not allow the involvement of troops from Qatar or Turkey in Gaza under any circumstances. "Turkish and Qatari soldiers will not be in the Strip." (Read more)

3. IDF launches counter-terror operation in Hebron - JNS

Israeli security forces overnight Sunday launched a counter-terror operation in a Palestinian neighborhood of Hebron, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

The raid in Jabal Johar, which is expected to continue for several days, is aimed at dismantling terror infrastructure, seizing illegal weapons and enhancing local security, the military stated.

The IDF, Israel Police, Border Police and Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) are taking part in the mission.

5. Antiquities robbers arrested after damaging Roman-period cave in Galilee
- World Israel News

A gang of four antiquities robbers was caught red-handed on Sunday afternoon while digging inside an ancient Roman-period burial cave near Hittin, on the edge of the Arbel Valley, the Israel Antiquities Authority announced on Monday.

The suspects caused severe damage to the site, which is located in a protected antiquities area.

The suspects were apprehended in a joint operation by the Israel Antiquities Authority’s Robbery Prevention Unit and the police.

After being taken to Tiberias for questioning, the suspects claimed they had come to the area to “hunt porcupines and pick mushrooms,” but eventually admitted to using digging tools inside the burial cave. (Read more

2. ICE's detainee population reaches new record high of 73,000, as crackdown widens - CBS News
The number of detainees in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody has reached a new record high, surpassing 70,000 for the first time in the deportation agency's 23-year history, according to internal Department of Homeland Security data obtained by CBS News.

As of Thursday, ICE was holding about 73,000 individuals facing deportation in its custody across the country, the highest level recorded by the agency and an 84% increase from the same time in 2025, when its detention population hovered below 40,000, the internal statistics show.
The Trump administration has said it is aiming to be able to detain upwards of 100,000 immigration detainees at any given time, as part of its government-wide effort to carry out a deportation crackdown of unprecedented proportions. (Read more)

3. GOP senators try to talk Trump down from invoking Insurrection Act in Minneapolis- The Hill
 

Republican senators are trying to put the brakes on talk of invoking the Insurrection Act to quell angry protests against immigration officers in Minneapolis after one fatally shot Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three.

Invoking the law, which was last updated in 1874, would allow President Trump to mobilize active-duty troops or federalized National Guard troops to the streets of Minneapolis amid growing civil unrest over actions by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.

GOP lawmakers are leery of the prospect of sending a wave of troops to Minneapolis when television and online news in recent days have been dominated by images of masked ICE officers, wearing helmets and ballistic-resistant vests, engaged in heated exchanges with protesters.

Asked if invoking the Insurrection Act to deploy troops to Minneapolis to quell the protests would be appropriate, Senate Armed Services Committee Chair Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) responded, “Probably not.”

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said the administration needs to be “very careful” to lower the potential for conflict with local communities during ICE law enforcement operations. (Read more)

Lord, we pray that President Trump will be very careful in his actions during this turmoil in Minneapolis. Guide him in the right decisions we ask, O Lord, amen!

"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you." (Psalm 32:8) 

4.  Republicans urge Trump to crack down on shipment of abortion drugs across state lines - Christian Post

Republican leaders and state attorneys general called on the Trump administration to crack down on the shipment of abortion drugs across state lines, expressing frustration with the speed of a safety review and the remaining Biden-era mail-order abortion pill policy that they contend subverts state laws.

Family Research Council President Tony Perkins joined the Louisiana and Ohio state attorneys general, as well as multiple Republican senators and congress members, in issuing a warning about abortion drugs during a press conference on Wednesday.

During the press conference, which followed a Senate health committee hearing on the same topic, Perkins and the other speakers urged the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to end mail-order abortions. 

Perkins expressed frustration over the FDA’s promised safety review of the abortion drug mifepristone, saying that the review has “dragged on for months.The time for bureaucratic delay is over. It's time to respect the rights of states to protect the unborn,” Perkins declared. (Read more)

We do pray that President Trump will take immediate action on making mail order abortion drugs illegal!

5. Trump announces 10 percent tariffs on Denmark, allies amid Greenland turmoil - The Hill
 

President Trump announced Saturday that he will implement a 10 percent tariff on Denmark and its European allies starting next month, ratcheting up the pressure in his bid to acquire Greenland. 

“We have subsidized Denmark, and all of the Countries of the European Union, and others, for many years by not charging them Tariffs, or any other forms of remuneration. Now, after Centuries, it is time for Denmark to give back — World Peace is at stake!” Trump wrote on Truth Social..

The president said that the new import taxes, which apply to Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland, will start at 10 percent on Feb. 1 and increase to 25 percent on June 1.

He added that the levies “will be due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland,” saying the U.S. had been “trying to do this transaction for over 150 years” but Denmark refused. (Read more)

 Oh Lord, we pray that You would grant Your wisdom for President Trump as he is imposing tariffs on Denmark. We pray Your will be done! 

"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him."  (James 1:5)  
6. Archaeologists discover early Christian fresco depicting Jesus in Turkey - The Christian Post
 

Archaeologists in Turkey have discovered a third-century mural depicting Jesus as the good shepherd.

The mural, which remains in relatively good condition, is the centerpiece of a number of frescoes in an underground tomb in the Hisardere necropolis near the town of Iznik. While Iznik might not be a familiar name to many, its ancient name, Nicaea, may be better known to Christians.

In 325 AD, it was the site of the First Council of Nicaea, a pivotal event in early Christianity when Constantine, the first Christian Roman Emperor, invited church leaders from all over the known world to resolve key issues of doctrine.

The result was the Nicene Creed, the basic declaration of Christian belief that all major denominations, Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox, are built upon.

The newly discovered Iznik mural depicts Jesus as a young man in a simple tunic, carrying a sheep on his shoulders. He's also carrying a date palm, a symbol of eternal life and resurrection. (Read more) 

A note from the editor: be sure and go to this link to view this amazing ancient mural. All praise be to our God who reigns forever and forever, amen! 

Thank you for this discovery of an ancient mural in a remote area of Turkey that depicts our Lord, Jesus Christ! Praise God!

The Daily Jot

The Name

The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, January 19, 2026

In Exodus 6 through 9, Vayera (I Appeared), the LORD steps into history with authority, faithfulness, and resolve. As Moses confronts Pharaoh, the struggle quickly becomes a revelation of the one true God. Pharaoh resists despite unmistakable signs, and the plagues fall with increasing weight. Water turns to blood, frogs swarm the land, lice and flies follow, and Egypt’s strength erodes plague by plague. Israel, however, is preserved. The LORD clearly distinguishes His people from judgment. As livestock die, boils spread, and fiery hail devastates the land, Pharaoh’s heart remains firm in defiance. God is preparing to show that redemption flows from covenant faithfulness grounded in His unchanging character.

At the center of this account stands the Name. God tells Moses that He appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as El Shaddai, but that His personal Name had not been fully revealed. The forefathers knew the Name, yet they had not experienced its deepest meaning. Foremost Jewish commentator Rashi explains that ADONAI speaks of God’s unchanging nature, the One who remains faithful across generations. The promises given to Abraham were trusted and passed down, even though fulfillment lay beyond their lifetimes. Hebrews reminds us that they welcomed those promises from a distance. In Moses’s day, that distance closes. God moves from promise to action, revealing that His Name is not merely spoken but proven through redemption, judgment, and deliverance. Read More

'All options on the table': US boosts presence in Middle East as Iran strike remains possibility

The United States Armed Forces continue to reinforce their military presence in the Middle East amid the possibility that US President Donald Trump may order an attack against Iran.

Aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and its strike teams have reached the Strait of Malacca, located between Malaysia and Indonesia. They are expected to enter the US Central Command’s (CENTCOM) area of responsibility in five to seven days. Accompanying the carrier are two destroyers: the USS Spruance and the USS Michael Murphy.

According to reports, an additional 12 F-15 fighter jets have arrived in Jordan over the past 24 hours.

More fighter aircraft are believed to be heading to the region, set to arrive in the near future, while cargo planes have landed at the US military base in Diego Garcia.

US officials told The Jerusalem Post that “all options are now on the table.” The officials added that the goal is to build a significant force in the Middle East that would provide Trump with a broad range of options should he decide to strike Iran.

Father God, as we now hear the literal cries of the Iranian people who are being slaughtered on their streets by this wicked regime, we do ask that our President WILL take ACTION and move quickly to free these dear people. Help them, O Lord we pray, amen and amen!

Netanyahu’s office: Trump’s Gaza committee contradicts Israel’s policy

The Gaza Executive Board led by the U.S. and composed of officials from countries such as Turkey, Qatar and Egypt “runs contrary to [Israel’s] policy,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said on Saturday.

In a statement, the Prime Minister’s Office said, “The announcement regarding the composition of the Gaza Executive Board, which is subordinate to the Board of Peace, was not coordinated with Israel and runs contrary to its policy.”

It added that Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar was instructed to discuss the matter with his American counterpart, Marco Rubio—who was named on Friday as a founding member of the Executive Board.

The White House on Friday unveiled three committees that will oversee the activities of the Board of Peace, the initiative led and chaired by U.S. President Donald Trump, tasked with implementing his 20-point peace plan for the Gaza Strip in the aftermath of the two-year war.

The Gaza Executive Board includes members such as U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, as well as Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, Qatari diplomat Ali Al-Thawadi and Egyptian General Intelligence Service Director Maj. Gen. Hassan Rashad.

The Gaza Executive Board will assume the role of assisting the high representative for Gaza, United Arab Emirates-based Bulgarian politician and former U.N. envoy Nickolay Mladenov, as well as the new National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), another committee under the Board of Peace that consists of 15 Palestinian technocrats and is led by former Palestinian Authority Deputy Minister of Transportation Ali Sha’ath.

In a Truth Social post on Friday, Trump wrote: “With the support of Egypt, Turkey, and Qatar, we will secure a COMPREHENSIVE Demilitarization Agreement with Hamas, including the surrender of ALL weapons, and the dismantling of EVERY tunnel.” (JNS.org) Read more here. 

Heavenly Father, we pray against any action by the United States and any other nation that usurps Israel’s authority as the stewards of the land You promised by covenant to Abraham, and worse, that these actions would place three of Israel’s enemies on its land—Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey. Your word says: “On the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying: ‘To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River EuphratesTo your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates’” (Genesis 15:18-19). This land, promised to Israel, includes Gaza. Those who come against the land and its people also come against the God of Israel, who established His people and their land by covenant. The land and its people are inseparably one. We pray these plans of the enemy come to nothing, in Jesus’ name. 

Trump asserts Ilhan Omar should be jailed or booted to Somalia
Trump says Rep Ilhan Omar 'could help to MAKE SOMALIA GREAT AGAIN' 

President Donald Trump asserted in a Sunday night Truth Social post that Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota should either be locked up in jail or sent to Somalia.

"There is 19 Billion Dollars in Minnesota Somalia Fraud. Fake ‘Congresswoman’ Illhan Omar, a constant complainer who hates the USA, knows everything there is to know. She should be in jail, or even a worse punishment, sent back to Somalia, considered one of the absolutely worst countries in the World. She could help to MAKE SOMALIA GREAT AGAIN!" Trump declared in the post.

Omar, who has served in the U.S. House of Representatives since early 2019, was born in Somalia and became a U.S. citizen in 2000.

"ICE is removing some of the most violent criminals in the World from our Country, and bring them back home, where they belong. Why is Minnesota fighting this? Do they really want murderers and drug dealers to be ensconced in their community? The thugs that are protesting include many highly paid professional agitators and anarchists. Is this really what Minnesota wants?" the president asked in a Sunday Truth Social post.

"The crooked Governor and 'Congresswoman' Omar, who married her brother, don’t mind because it keeps the focus of attention off the 18 Billion Dollar, Plus, FRAUD, that has taken place in the State! Don’t worry, we're on it!" he added in the post. (Fox News) Read more here. 
Father God, we do love this president! He often speaks the unvarnished truth, that sets the captives free. We agree that this congresswoman needs to return to her home country, and we ask that You restore what the locust has eaten -- the damage she has done to our nation -- while she served in office. Thank You, O Lord, for hearing our prayer, amen and amen!

“Then I will make up to you for the years
That the swarming locust has eaten,
The creeping locust, the stripping locust and the gnawing locust,
My great army which I sent among you.
You will have plenty to eat and be satisfied
And praise the name of the Lord your God,
Who has dealt wondrously with you;
Then My people will never be put to shame."

Sun erupts with powerful X-class flare as huge CME races toward Earth, impact possible within 24 hours

The sun sure has woken up this week, unleashing a powerful X-class solar flare along with a fast Earth-directed coronal mass ejection (CME), which is currently forecast to hit Earth within the next 24 hours.

If the CME arrives as expected and has the correct magnetic orientation to be "geoeffective," we could witness strong (G3) or even severe (G4) geomagnetic storm conditions tonight, according to the U.K. Met Office. If these conditions are reached, the northern lights might be visible as far south as Northern California and Alabama

Space weather forecasters are busy analysing data and running models to narrow down the CME's arrival window.

Why the CME's impact depends on its magnetic orientation

CME arrivals are notoriously difficult to forecast. Their speed, direction of travel and — most importantly — their magnetic orientation all determine how strongly (if at all) they will interact with Earth's magnetic field.

If the CME's magnetic field is oriented southward, a component known as the Bz, it can more easily link up with Earth's northward-pointing magnetic field, allowing energy to pour into our planet's magnetosphere and trigger geomagnetic storm conditions. (Space)

Thought for the Day
"For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12)
A Special Message
The Sinner's Prayer
"Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Your Name."
