Ainsley Earhardt Teaches Kids to Love America and Our 'God-Given Rights'  
“Fox & Friends” host Ainsley Earhardt is on a mission to inspire children to love America. Earhardt, who has a new kids’ book out titled, “America, I’m So Glad You Were Born: Celebrating the Country We Love,” said she created the project to offer young people and adults alike a reminder about America.

“With so much news happening around the world and in our own country, and so much division, I thought, ‘We need to get back to the basics and remember why we are so grateful to be Americans — to have all the freedoms that we have that [were] given to us by God,'” she said. “Our Founding Fathers wrote … in the Constitution that these are gifts given to us by God and He has protected this country — the greatest country in the world.”

Ultimately, Earhardt doesn’t want to see America go down a  communist or socialist path. With “America, I’m So Glad You Were Born: Celebrating the Country We Love,” she hopes to remind Americans that the US was “founded on Christian values” and a heritage of faith. “I want the children to realize the 4th of July is not just about fireworks, and floats, and red, white and blue dresses, and bows for your children, and matching outfits for the kids and, you know, picnics,” she said. “I want them to know that the red, white, and blue in our flag stands for our freedoms, and these are God-given rights.”

Earhardt said she believes people’s purpose is to “serve Christ” and that doing so is “such a gift.” She also wants people to fully recognize how fortunate they are to live in America. “You were born in the greatest country or you live in the greatest country,” she said. “You have the right to choose where you want to go to church, you have the right to vote for your leaders, you have the right [to] freedom of speech, you can write a book, you can protest, you can do whatever you want in this country without being arrested.” (CBN) Read more here. 
Father God, we thank You for Ainsley Earhardt and her passion to teach the truth about America to the nation's youth. In these confusing and sometimes dark times, we ask that this book would be a wake up call to all who read its pages -- embracing our destiny, understanding our freedoms, and seeing that, indeed, America IS the greatest nation on the earth!

We ask, O Lord, that You would move upon the hearts of our people to make this book available, far and wide, across our land. In Your Name, Holy One, we offer this prayer, amen and amen.


"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people He has chosen as His own inheritance."

(Psalm 33:12)

Historic Peace Deal with Iran
In a landmark moment for American diplomacy, President Donald J. Trump has announced a historic peace agreement with Iran — ending decades of hostility and bringing stability to one of the world’s most volatile regions.

President Trump shared the news directly with the American people. Read his full statement here.

The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all! I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Lord God we thank you for this historic win! Thank you for our President who is prioritizing peace through strength. Please strengthen, protect, and bless all those fighting for our country and freedom. And we pray for Iran that they will be honest and uphold their end of the deal. In Jesus' name amen.

“I can do all things through him who strengthens me.”  (Philippians 4:13)

Vance: Iran Deal to 'Transform' Mid East, 
Ensure No Nuclear Weapon 

U.S. Vice President JD Vance has said that the deal negotiated by President Donald Trump and Iran will “transform” the Middle East and will ensure that Tehran will “never have a nuclear weapon”.

Coinciding with his 80th birthday, President Trump announced that a deal between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran is “complete” with the United States lifting its blockade of Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz and both sides agreeing to cease military operations in the region. Shehbaz Sharif, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, whose country has served as an intermediary between Washington and Tehran, said that the agreement will be formally signed by the two parties on Friday in Switzerland.

Commenting on the deal, Vice President JD Vance told Fox News Big Weekend Show on Sunday evening that it is a “big moment for the United States of America”, crediting the “leadership” of President Donald Trump and the “hard work of the entire team”.

While the full terms of the deal have yet to be made public, Vice President Vance said that the deal negotiated by the White House will “never have a nuclear weapon, not just pursue a nuclear weapon, but to procure or buy a nuclear weapon as well, that’s built into this agreement.” (Breitbart) Read more here

Lord God we continue to pray for the president and those making decisions on foreign policy that you would help them and give them wisdom. We come against all bribes and backdoor deals to try and cause division in the Middle East in Jesus' name. And we pray that all involved in these peace deals would make honorable decisions. Amen.

“For we aim at what is honorable not only in the Lord’s sight but also in the sight of man.”  (2 Corinthians 8:21)

World Leaders Hail President Trump's 'Hugely Important' Iran Peace Deal  

International leaders were quick to welcome the peace agreement struck by President Donald Trump and the Islamic regime in Iran, which is set to be formally signed next week in Switzerland.

The end of the military conflict between the United States and Iran, and thus the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, through which around one-fifth of global oil supplies flow annually, was hailed as a great success by leaders in Europe and the Middle East on Sunday evening.

Congratulations poured in from both London and Paris, the two countries that vowed to lead an international coalition to ensure toll-free, free movement through the Strait of Hormuz once the war ended.

British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said in a statement: “I warmly welcome today’s agreement reached between the United States and Iran. This is a hugely important step forward in ending the war, ensuring regional stability and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

“I congratulate President Trump and the mediators from Pakistan, Qatar and elsewhere who have contributed to this breakthrough. We have long urged de-escalation, and this is the progress we had hoped to see.

French President Emmanuel Macron shared similar sentiments, saying that he welcomes the agreement between the United States and Iran.

Macron said that French “resources are in place and ready to be deployed” to support the international mission alongside the United Kingdom to secure the free passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz.

“The resumption of maritime traffic, without restriction or toll, is an indispensable condition for regional stability and the global economy,” he said. (Breitbart) Read more here.

Lord we thank you for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz with this deal. We pray this will help with lowering gas prices, freeing up trade, and helping with our overall economy. Continue to help our president and our leaders as we navigate this deal in Jesus' name, amen. 

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
(Isaiah 41:10)

Brent Crude Falls To Lowest Price Since March 5 on Iran War's End 

Oil prices fell sharply on Sunday after President Trump announced that the U.S. and Iran had agreed to a peace deal.

Brent crude, the international benchmark, fell by around four percent to below $84 a barrel, the lowest price since March 5. West Texas Intermediate, the U.S. benchmark, fell by nearly five percent to below $81 a barrel.

“With the opening of the Strait upon the signing of the Deal on Friday, for purposes of mine removal, oil will flow on both ends again for the Region, and the World!” President Trump said Sunday evening.

Stock futures tied to U.S. equities market climbed on the news.

“The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete,” Trump wrote in an earlier Truth Social post. “Congratulations to all! I hereby authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!” (Breitbart) Read more here. 

Thank you, Lord, for all this exciting news and this historic win for the Trump administration. We pray over our oil production and that the oil coming in will no longer be delayed and that no harm or evil will come near it in Jesus name. We speak a blessing over our economy and all Americans, asking that you, O Lord, will help our people thrive, in Jesus' name, amen. 

“The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine on you and be gracious to you.” (Numbers 6:24-25)  
FOCUS ON ISRAEL

1. Israel will not leave Lebanon, won't strike if Hezbollah respects ceasefire, sources tell 'Post' - Jerusalem Post

Israel will not withdraw from southern Lebanon as part of the newly agreed to US-Iran deal despite Iranian demands, an Israeli source told The Jerusalem Post on Monday.

An IDF source also confirmed that if Hezbollah respects the ceasefire, there will be no attacks anywhere in Lebanon.

Later on Monday, a senior White House source confirmed to Walla that an IDF withdrawal from Lebanon is not part of the deal. (Read more)

2. Netanyahu: Israel does not know terms of US-Iran nuclear deal - Jerusalem Post

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel does not know the terms of the US-Iran nuclear deal during a press conference on Monday evening, following Sunday's announcement that the United States and Iran reached a ceasefire agreement.

"With or without an agreement, Iran will never have nuclear weapons," said Netanyahu. "Not today and not tomorrow." (Read more)

3. Ministers say Israel won’t be bound by Iran deal, as opposition castigates Netanyahu’s ‘absolute failure’ - Times of Israel

Defense Minister Israel Katz vowed Monday that the Israeli military will remain in southern Lebanon and warned that if Iran strikes, it will be hit “with full force,” promising that Israel will resist any pressure after the US and Iran agreed a deal to end the war that also reportedly includes a commitment to end hostilities in Lebanon.

There was no immediate comment on the deal from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but far-right members of his coalition said Israel would not be bound by the terms of the agreement.

Far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said the agreement was “bad for Israel and for the entire free world. Period.” (Read more)

4. Majority of senior IDF and Mossad officials think Iran deal is insufficient for Israel’s security - World Israel News

Senior IDF and Mossad officials voiced strong opposition to the emerging US-Iran agreement, arguing that it fails to capitalize on a rare opportunity to significantly weaken Iran and its regional influence.

According to The Jerusalem Post, opposition to the framework is widespread among Israel’s top military and intelligence leadership.

Security officials were particularly frustrated that the proposed arrangement does not address Iran’s ballistic missile arsenal or its network of terrorist proxies across the Middle East, issues they view as central components of the threat posed by Tehran. (Read more

5. Rejecting pressure to leave Lebanon, Israel says IDF will stay in security zones indefinitely - JNS

(Jun. 15, 2026 / Pesach Benson/TPS-IL) Israel’s policy is for the Israel Defense Forces to remain in security zones across Lebanon, Syria and Gaza “indefinitely” to protect Israeli border communities from jihadist threats, Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Monday, even as Tehran seeks to tie an emerging U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding to Hezbollah.

Katz said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and he were “leading a clear policy” under which the military presence would be maintained in Southern Lebanon.

He said the zones would be “cleared of local residents” and that “all terrorist infrastructure, above and below ground” would be dismantled. He added that this would include the destruction of houses in border villages that had been used as terror outposts.

“This is the main lesson from the events of Oct. 7,” Katz said. (Read more

1. Trump fumes at ‘dishonorable’ Iranians amid leaks on emerging deal’s purported terms - Times of Israel
 

US President Donald Trump lashed out at Iran on Friday as the Islamic Republic and his administration leaked conflicting details to media outlets about their emerging diplomatic agreement, warning the “dishonorable” Iranians “better get their act together” after declaring the deal could be signed as soon as this weekend.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, meanwhile, again vowed the Iranian regime will never get its hands on nuclear weapons while asserting full alignment between himself and Trump, despite reportedly being kept in the dark about the agreement during negotiations.

Writing on his Truth Social platform, Trump said reports by Iranian state media were “Fake News,” stating they “have NOTHING to do with the terms that were agreed to, in writing,” without further specifying.

“What they said, including their weak and pathetic statement on having a deal, bears no relation to the truth,” Trump continued. “Very dishonorable people to deal with. With them, there is no such thing as dealing in good faith. AMAZING!” (Read more)

> > > Please note: this article was published last Friday, June 12th.

Lord, give wisdom on any, and all deals made with Iran. Reveal to our government what they need to know about any deal that is negotiated with Iran, so that we stay one step ahead of them as to not be deceived.

2. U.S. Plan Is Said to Pull a Third of Fighter Jets It Provides NATO for Europe - New York Times

The United States plans to significantly reduce the aircraft and warships that it makes available for NATO operations in Europe, according to two senior European officials, accelerating America’s effort to scale down the protection it has offered to European allies for eight decades.

The decision would limit NATO’s ability to launch long-range strikes and conduct surveillance. It was communicated to allies in early June in a written document, parts of which were reviewed by The New York Times. The European officials, who were briefed on the decision, spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak more freely about sensitive military plans.

The Pentagon declined to comment on the specific numbers in the document, and referred to a statement by its European Command last week that spoke in general terms of its intention to reduce its commitments in Europe.

The Pentagon has not yet publicly revealed the timeline for the drawdown but American officials have indicated it will take effect very soon — far earlier than European counterparts had been preparing for. The abrupt cutoff of American forces would affect NATO’s ability to, for example, monitor Russian submarine traffic or launch long-range Tomahawk missiles deep into Russian territory.  (Read more details here)
Lord, we pray our European allies would be more supportive of the United States, especially in regard to Iran.

3. Trump administration attempts to ramp up Alaska oil and gas drilling - Washington Examiner

The Interior Department recently held its first lease sale of President Donald Trump’s second, nonconsecutive term in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, selling off tracts of land for possible drilling in an area that has been virtually untouched by the oil and gas industry. And following this month’s sale, it will very likely stay that way.

The ANWR, the remote refuge near the United States-Canada border, sits more than 600 miles from Anchorage, Alaska, the Last Frontier’s largest city, with nearly 300,000 people — about 40% of the state’s population. The ANWR is widely considered one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet, with undisturbed ecosystems and habitats of caribou, polar bears, and hundreds of species of birds stretching nearly 20 million acres. There are no established roads, trails, or facilities of any type within the refuge, and only two permanent villages whose native communities have survived off the land for thousands of years.

Environmentalists, climate activists, and some native groups have, for years, sought to stop fossil fuel development in the area, fearing harm to surrounding wildlife and ecosystems. However, residents of the sole village in the northernmost part of the refuge are welcoming possible drilling projects with open arms to support their own economic growth. (Read much more here)
Lord, we pray that the plan to ramp up drilling in Alaska would be successful.

4. Trump's allies have another plan to pay 'weaponization' victims - Reuters

WASHINGTON, June 12 (Reuters) - While the Justice Department has said it has abandoned plans for President Donald Trump's proposed $1.8 billion "weaponization" fund, some of his allies are shifting focus to a different way to make payouts to his supporters, including those who took part in the January 6, 2021, riot on the U.S. Capitol.

The most viable path, according to Trump allies and legal experts, may involve ​compensating these loyalists under a 1946 law called the Federal Tort Claims Act. That measure lets people file administrative claims - and subsequent lawsuits - against the U.S. government for alleged wrongdoing, which can then be settled out of court.

"At my level, the ‌fund is dead," Stanley Woodward, the third-ranking official at the Justice Department, said in an interview with Reuters. "If somebody wants to submit a claim against the government and sue us, they can still do that." (Read more) 

Lord, we pray wisdom regarding this weaponization fund. We pray clarity on this, And if it's not the right thing to do, then we pray You intervene.

5. Americans split on pastors using AI, skeptical it can help with understanding the Bible- Christian Post

Most Americans remain wary of artificial intelligence when it comes to matters of faith, with new research showing the public is divided over pastors using AI to help prepare sermons and largely skeptical that the technology can deepen biblical understanding.

The findings come from the third installment of the American Bible Society's "State of the Bible: USA 2026" report, released Wednesday. The report examined Americans' attitudes toward AI using survey responses from 2,649 U.S. adults collected between Jan. 8 and Jan. 27. The survey has a margin of error of +/- 2.5 percentage points.

While public attitudes toward AI have become slightly more favorable in recent years, Americans remain cautious about the technology's role in spiritual life.

When asked if they were “optimistic about the future benefits of using artificial intelligence,” respondents’ views barely budged from when they were asked the same question in 2024. In both 2024 and 2026, 20% of Americans strongly disagreed that they were optimistic about AI, while 17% somewhat disagreed and 9% strongly agreed. (Read more here)

Lord, we pray that pastors continue to rely on their study of the Bible themselves and the voice of the Holy Spirit to Understand the bible and to teach the word of God, without the help of AI.

6. 'How all of Israel needs to look': Tel Aviv mayor speaks at annual Pride Parade - Jerusalem Post
 

More than 100,000 people participated in the annual Tel Aviv Pride Parade on Friday.

Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai announced at the start of the march that it “represents exactly how all of Israel needs to look – equal, inclusive, and loving.”

He added, “The city of Tel Aviv-Jaffa is a warm home for all the communities that live there and is proud to be a groundbreaking city in relation to the LGBT community and a global source of inspiration, and we are marching again this year to continue the struggle for full equality for every citizen.”

The parade was accompanied by dancers and DJs performing atop five trucks and three buses.

Police on high alert as planned attack against LGBT community averted

Israel Police announced that over 1,000 police officers, undercover officers, Border Police officers, and volunteers were deployed throughout the event to ensure the safety and security of all participants. Special units, including the Israel Police’s air and maritime units, were also deployed.

The police announced that they had averted a planned attack against the LGBT community, arresting Haifa resident Amir Maron, 37. He had posted on social media that “they were destroyed once, it’s about time they were destroyed again. Sick people, disgusting.” (Read more here) 

Lord we are thankful that no one was hurt at this event, but we pray that You open their eyes to see the error of their ways. Let them come to repentance,
following this lie. "Male and female He created them!" Amen and amen!

"To open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me." (Acts 26:18) 

The Daily Jot

The Decree and the Blue Thread

The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, June 15, 2026

Shelach found in Numbers 13:1-15:41, contains one of the most important lessons about faith and perception in all of Scripture. The Hebrew word shelach means “send out,” and the portion begins with the LORD instructing Moses to send twelve “spies” into the Promised Land. Ten of them focused on the obstacles and spread fear among the people. Caleb and Joshua focused on God’s promise and encouraged Israel to move forward. The majority report prevailed, causing the people to complain against God and even talk about returning to Egypt. What should have been a moment of faith became a national rebellion rooted in fear and unbelief. 

The LORD responded with a decree that changed the course of an entire generation. Because Israel refused to trust Him, they would wander in the wilderness for forty years, one year for every day the spies explored the land. Only Caleb and Joshua would enter the Promised Land because they possessed what Scripture calls “a different spirit” (Numbers 14:24). They saw the same difficulties as everyone else, but reached a different conclusion. The ten saw themselves as grasshoppers before giants. Caleb and Joshua saw giants standing before the Almighty God. Their confidence was grounded in God’s faithfulness. As they told the people, “The LORD is with us. Do not fear them” (Numbers 14:9). Read More

Trump Threatens to 'Take Back' D.C. and 'Run it on a Federal Basis' 
as Mamdani-Style Socialist Leads Mayoral Race 

President Donald Trump said this week that the federal government might have to take over Washington, D.C., if the Democratic socialist candidate currently leading in polling wins the race for city mayor.

A White House reporter on Thursday told Trump that candidate Janeese Lewis George, currently a Democratic member of the D.C. City Council, “is running a Zohran Mamdani campaign, focused on socialist policies.”

“How would you feel if she emerges victorious in next Tuesday’s primary?” the reporter asked.

“I wouldn’t like it — and maybe we take back Washington, run it on the federal basis. We won’t put up with it. We’re not going to lose our businesses,” Trump responded.

Mamdani’s short tenure as mayor has been marked by openly socialist rhetoric — he slams “rugged individualism” and lauds the “warmth of collectivism.” He has made hostility toward big businesses, the financial lifeblood of the Big Apple, a hallmark of his time in office. (The Western Journal) Read more here. 
Almighty God,

Our hearts are grieved from this report stating that nearly half of the Democratic Party members in Washington, D.C. has a favorable view of socialism and that many are running their campaigns the way that Mamdani did in New York and won. Father, we pray that You would open the eyes of the blind so that they may see how socialism has destroyed so many nations before us.

We ask, Lord, that You would give President Trump wisdom about how to fix Washington, DC should someone running on a socialist ticket in Tuesday's election win. Show him, Father, how to pull down this web of socialist deception.

We cry out for mercy, Lord Jesus, in America! We now have to look towards heaven, for You alone can fix the deceit and wicked lies being spread by these Democratic candidates. Let truth and righteousness prevail in all of our elections as we pray for Your will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. In Your Mighty Name, we pray. Amen and Amen.

"When the righteous cry out for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all troubles." (Psalm 34:17) 
New UFO Files Reveal Officials Have Pinpointed Location
 from Which Glowing Orbs Are Originating  

Those glowing orbs that appear in viral videos and behave in strange ways must have come from somewhere, right?

According to the New York Post, federal officials have traced the recurring phenomenon in one northeastern location to an unspecified “secluded pond.”

On Friday, President Donald Trump’s War Department released the third tranche of declassified Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) files. That release included FBI confirmation of the authenticity of a glowing-orb phenomenon in the Northeast, according to the Post.

More specifically, an unnamed resident provided cellphone footage of the phenomenon to the FBI. Bureau agents then traveled to the location and saw the orbs for themselves.

All told, the FBI received from the resident four videos shot between 2021 and 2025. In those four videos, the orbs appeared in different colors and behaved in different ways.

A relevant declassified FBI file, as quoted by the Post, described the resident as having “observed these objects in the vicinity of and sometimes as close as 200 yards from [his] residence.”

“These objects have been observed hovering in a static position, and moving. They are sometimes observed above the horizon, as well as close to the ground, within the trees, and in or near the water,” the declassified FBI file continued.

The resident also “set up trail cameras and other sensors to collect data from [the] property [and has] seen spikes in Gamma radiation that correlate with times [he] has observed the objects, and additional unusual effects on electronics and GPS data from devices.”

(The Western Journal) Read more here.  
Lord Jesus,

You have created our world and everything that is in it and You have said that it is very good!

Lord, let this new release from President Trump's War Department concerning the glowing orb-phenomenon in the Northeast bring with it what exactly these are, since residents have provided the agents with sightings that go back to 2021 and 2025.
Thank You, Father, for the two residents who were able to catch the phenomenon on their phones and trail cameras with other sensors and were not afraid to pursue the sightings further.
We pray for more insight and wisdom for the federal agents investigating these sightings that have proven to be true so that they can give us more information. Lord, are these Gamma radiation orbs with magnificent colors and movement caused by lightning from storms, or from radioactive decay or signs from heaven?
Holy One, You know exactly how much energy, heat and radiation is being produced by these orbs and whether they are a danger to the people of the earth. In Your name, Father, we speak protection over the earth and its people that You have created. You are our amazing God!
We humbly offer this prayer to You, Amen and Amen.

"The Lord will protect you from all harm and He will watch over your life; He will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore." (Psalm 121:7-8) 
Temple Institute announces the birth of a “Pure Red Heifer” 

The Temple Institute has shared news of a significant development tied to long-standing preparations for potential Temple service in Jerusalem. Researchers with the National Institute for Red Cow Research announced the birth of a red heifer calf named Tamima on a dairy farm in the Galilee Mountains of northern Israel.

The calf resulted from the artificial insemination of a dairy cow with semen from a Red Angus breed, an uncommon outcome as such crossings typically yield black or dark-colored offspring.

The birth has drawn attention from scholars studying the biblical commandment in Numbers 19, which requires the ashes of a flawless red heifer for ritual purification essential to Temple worship.

Rabbi Azaria Ariel, a research team member and expert on the red heifer requirements, recently examined the calf. He “found that she was pure in her redness” and expressed encouragement over the healing of a minor ear deformity caused by an identification tag applied shortly after birth.

The National Institute for Red Cow Research continues to investigate practical and halachic challenges involved in fulfilling the ancient commandment in modern times, including issues related to the absence of a Sanhedrin. Researchers noted the greater difficulty lies in raising the animal to maturity without disqualifying flaws, such as white hairs or defects.

The report frames the event amid broader efforts to recreate Temple vessels and train priests, highlighting growing interest in the Temple Mount. One statement from the researchers suggested deeper meaning: “Perhaps today the red cow commandment is able to herald a national transformation from a period of pain and loss of a difficult war to a period of national prosperity and prosperity.” (endtimeheadlines.org) Read more here.

O Holy One of Israel!

We rejoice that a Red Heifer has been born in the hills of Galilee! We pray, Lord, that as this heifer matures it will remain red without spot or blemish fulfilling the biblical commandment of the Red Heifer.

Lord, we pray that the tagging of the ear shortly after the heifer was born will heal completely so that when examined again by the National Red Heifer Research Institute, this would not affect its future eligibility as a red heifer.

Father, Rabbi Azaria Ariel conducted a comprehensive examination of the calf and found that indeed it was completely red! As this calf named "Temimah" is examined from both a practical and halachic (Jewish legal) perspective, we pray, Father, that You would protect it until the time when it is truly declared the perfect one and is ready for the ritual that must be carried out according to Your Word.

We take note, too, that this red heifer was born on JUNE 14 -- the exact date when the war against Iran ENDED!
Truly, this is a date that will now be remembered in history. You are truly a mighty, mighty GOD!

In the Mighty name of Yeshua, we offer this prayer. Amen and Amen.

Archaeologists Opened a 2,600-Year-Old Tomb—and Found 4 People Who Time Forgot

A rare discovery of a fully sealed Etruscan chamber tomb in Italy came with a bonus: more than 100 grave goods from the seventh century B.C.

Located at San Giuliano—about 43 miles northwest of Rome in the hilly region of central Italy—a team of archeologists working on the San Giuliano Archaeological Research Project called the 2025 discovery one of the most significant finds in recent decades related to our understanding pre-Roman civilization, according to a statement from Baylor University.

“This completely sealed burial chamber represents a rare find for Etruscan archaeology,” Davide Zori, a professor of history and archaeology at Baylor and a principal investigator on the project, said in a statement.

He added that a “preserved chamber tomb of this age has never before been excavated with modern archaeological techniques” in the region.

Once the team entered the 2,600-year-old undisturbed tomb, they found four skeletons on carved stone beds surrounded by more than 100 well-preserved grave goods, including ceramic vases, iron weapons, bronze ornaments, and delicate silver hair spools.

The research project has been active in the region since 2016, uncovering over 600 tombs in the necropolis surrounding the Etruscan town, which sits atop the San Giuliano Plateau. So far, though, every other chamber tomb—defined as a tomb carved out of the rock into the shape of a small house with a pitched roof—had been previously looted. Some had been emptied of their valuables as early as the start of Roman occupation in the late third century B.C. (Popular Mechanics) Read More

"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."
