Abba Father, we thank You for the gifts of repentance and reconciliation. Bless the 'Moccasins Across America' mission as they encourage revival through prayer, forgiveness and healing within our nation. We ask for You to restore the years the locust has eaten, so the United States of America may once again walk in Your love, unity and peace. We give You all Glory for the miracles that will come through heartfelt prayers of repentance across our nation! In the Name of Jesus Christ, we pray, amen.

Vance Boelter captured

MINNEAPOLIS – Vance Boelter, the suspect accused of shooting two Minnesota state lawmakers, killing one and her husband, was captured on Sunday, multiple law enforcement sources confirmed to Fox News.

Boelter, 57, was captured in Sibley County after a two-day manhunt. He allegedly killed former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, early Saturday morning at their Brooklyn Park home in Minneapolis. He also allegedly shot State Sen. John Hoffman, also a Democrat, and his wife, Yvette, in their nearby Champlin home in a related attack. 

The Sibley County Sheriff's Office told Fox News that Boelter "verbally" identified himself to authorities searching for him in the area on Sunday evening.

"The face of evil. After relentless and determined police work, the killer is now in custody," the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post. "Thanks to the dedication of multiple agencies working together along with support from the community, justice is one step closer." (Fox News) Read more here.

All Eyes on Trump as G7 Summit Begins Amid
Middle East Tensions

CALGARY, Canada—President Donald Trump arrived in Alberta, Canada, on Sunday for the Group of 7 (G7) summit, marking his first major international leaders’ gathering since beginning his second term in January.

Over the three-day summit, Trump will engage with the leaders of the world’s seven advanced economies to tackle pressing economic challenges and escalating geopolitical crises, particularly in the Middle East given the recent escalation to direct conflict.

Air Force One touched down at Calgary International Airport at 8:36 p.m. local time. Trump stepped off the plane donning an overcoat and a white “Make America Great Again” hat.

The G7 comprises the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, representing more than half of global GDP.

The latest conflict began on June 12 after Israel launched airstrikes targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities, senior officials, military leaders, and nuclear scientists.

The strikes came after the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on June 9 that he was seriously concerned about Iran’s “rapid accumulation of highly enriched uranium.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that in recent months, Iran had taken steps to “weaponize” and that “if not stopped, Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time.”

In response to the strikes, Iran launched missiles that breached Israel’s air defenses, striking residential areas, including in the capital of Tel Aviv. Israel has threatened a strong response.

Prior to his departure for Canada, Trump responded to questions about tensions between Iran and Israel, voicing optimism for a deal. “It’s time for a deal,” he said, adding, “Sometimes, they have to fight it out.”

When asked if he had called on Israel to halt airstrikes on Iran, Trump said he “wouldn’t say that.” He also confirmed that the United States would continue to support Israel’s defense. If the conflict continues, the Middle East crisis is likely to dominate discussions at the G7 summit. (The Epoch Times) Read more here.
- Lord God we pray for discernment  and wisdom for President Trump as he meets with the leaders of the world’s seven advanced economies to tackle pressing economic challenges and escalating geopolitical crises, particularly in the Middle East. We pray your will would be done in these meeting rooms as it is in heaven, in Jesus' name, amen

Netanyahu: ‘Iran will pay’ dearly for
Bat Yam missile attack

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday visited the scene of a deadly Iranian missile attack on Bat Yam overnight on Saturday, vowing that Iran would face severe consequences for its actions.

Standing alongside members of the Israeli military’s Home Front Command and emergency responders, he expressed condolences on behalf of the nation. “Our hearts are with the families,” he said.

Six people were killed when an apartment building in the city just south of Tel Aviv sustained a direct hit. A 4-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy are among the dead.

Rescue efforts are ongoing at the scene, where three people remain unaccounted for after four of the missing were found at hospitals. At least 180 others were wounded in the strike.

The prime minister emphasized the importance of following Home Front Command guidelines, noting that “those who listened and took shelter were saved. Sadly, those who did not were harmed.”

“We are here because we are in an existential battle, which today is understood by every citizen of Israel. Think about what would happen if Iran had a nuclear weapon to drop on Israeli cities. Think about what would happen if Iran had 20,000 such missiles. Not one—20,000. An existential threat to Israel,” said Netanyahu.

“That is why we launched a rescue war against a double annihilation threat, and we are doing this with force. Our soldiers, our pilots are above the skies of Iran. Iran will pay a very heavy price for the deliberate murder of civilians, women and children. We will achieve our objectives and also deal them a powerful blow. They will feel the strength of our arm,” the premier continued. (JNS.org) Read more here,

- Lord we pray for wisdom for Prime Minister Netanyahu and all Israeli officials as they respond to these attacks. We cover in prayer our elected leaders to stand with Israel and for strength for our brothers and sisters in Christ who are in Israel ministering to those in need. We know that you, Lord, watch faithfully over Israel and all your people all over the world delivering them from evil. In Jesus' name, amen. 

- “but because the Lord loved you and kept the oath which He swore to your forefathers, the Lord brought you out by a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.” (Deuteronomy 7:8)

Huckabee: Iran attacking Americans in Israel

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said on Saturday that Iran was not only targeting Israelis with indiscriminate rocket fire, but also threatening the lives of hundreds of thousands of American citizens living in the Jewish state.

“If you hear ‘Israel is no concern to USA’ remember 700,000 AMERICANS live in Israel. That is equivalent to a full House District,” Huckabee tweeted.

“More Americans here than in any other country except Mexico! Iran isn’t just attacking Israel but your fellow Americans who live here,” he added.

At least 10 people were killed overnight Saturday in a wave of Iranian missile attacks targeting civilian areas across Israel, according to emergency services and local media reports.

Saturday night’s attacks brought the Israeli civilian death toll to 13, after three Israeli civilians were killed by Iranian ballistic missiles overnight Friday. (JNS.org) Read more here.

- Lord God we cover each and every American that is in Israel in the blood of Jesus so that no weapon formed against them shall prosper. Give all your people all over the world, Lord, wisdom and discernment as they navigate these challenging times. We pray that every American in Congress would support Israel and support the Americans in Israel and do whatever they can possible to protect them, in Jesus' name. Amen!

“When you go to war against your enemies and see horses and chariots and an army greater than yours, do not be afraid of them, because the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt, will be with you.” (Deuteronomy 20:1)

1. Iran strikes Tel Aviv and Haifa as Israel conflict enters fourth day - The Guardian

Iranian missiles have struck Israeli cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa, destroying homes and fuelling concerns among world leaders at this week’s G7 meeting that the conflict between the two regional enemies could lead to a broader Middle East war.

Israel’s Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency service said Monday that four people were pronounced dead after strikes at four sites in central Israel, with 87 injured. The dead were two women and two men, all approximately 70 years old, the MDA said.

Authorities in the central Israeli city of Petah Tikva near Tel Aviv said that Iranian missiles had hit a residential building there, charring concrete walls, blowing out windows and heavily damaging multiple apartments.

Search and location operations were under way in the northern port city of Haifa where about 30 people were wounded, emergency authorities said, as dozens of first responders rushed to the strike zones. Fires were seen burning at a power plant near the port, media reported. (Read more)

2. Israeli jets bomb building of Iran state broadcaster in Tehran; anchor flees studio in mid-broadcast - Times of Israel

The Israeli Air Force bombed the offices of Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB in Tehran a short while ago.

Footage shows the moment of the attack.

The Israeli strike interrupts the state TV broadcast, with the anchor seen fleeing the studio.

The screen fills with debris and smoke, and a voice is heard calling, “Allahu Akbar.”

Earlier, the IDF issued an evacuation warning for the area in Tehran where IRIB’s headquarters are based, while Defense Minister Israel Katz said, “The Iranian propaganda and incitement mouthpiece is on its way to disappear.” (Read more)

3. IDF drone destroys Iranian F-14 fighter jets in Tehran airbase just before taking off - Jerusalem Post

An IDF drone struck two Iranian F-14 fighter jets in a Tehran airbase minutes before they were set to take off, the Israeli military revealed on Monday evening.

Additionally, the IAF struck and thwarted an attempt to launch drones toward Israel. 

In recent days, an Air Force aircraft have been tracking the drone launch team and identifying the launchers deploying the drones and the weaponry in the area.

The launch team was killed, and the launchers were destroyed just minutes before they were able to launch towards Israeli territory. (Read more)

4. Netanyahu says Israel won’t rule out killing Khamenei: It would ‘end the conflict’
- Times of Israel

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wouldn’t rule out targeting Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in an interview with ABC News.

“Look, we’re doing what we need to do,” says Netanyahu.

“I’m not going to get into the details, but we’ve targeted their top nuclear scientists,” says the prime minister. “It’s basically Hitler’s nuclear team.”

“It’s not going to escalate the conflict, it’s going to end the conflict,” says Netanyahu about plans to take out the Iranian leader. (Read more

5. Israel to Launch Rescue Flights for Nationals Stranded Abroad Amid Iran War, Over 60,000 Register Immediately - Algemeiner 

Israel will begin by Thursday operating a limited number of one-way flights to Tel Aviv to bring home the tens of thousands of Israelis stranded abroad since the outbreak of the conflict with Iran last week.

Israel’s national airline El Al opened an online registration for flights for the more than 100,000 citizens who have been stuck abroad since the Jewish state closed its airspace to civilian traffic early Friday morning, when hostilities erupted. Within less than two hours of opening the online form, more than 60,000 stranded passengers registered on the airline’s site despite the ongoing conflict, according to El Al.

“At this time, El Al is formulating the list of destinations and the scope of flights that will be allowed to operate under this plan,” the airline said. “The purpose of the registration is to map the location of our customers in the world, and accordingly build a flight schedule.”

On Friday morning around 3 am, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched Operation Rising Lion, a multifaceted campaign involving airstrikes, covert sabotage by Mossad, and other operations targeting Iran’s missile infrastructure, nuclear facilities, and military officials. Israel launched the operation with the goal of dismantling Iran’s nuclear capabilities, which Israeli officials have declared an existential crisis. (Read more)

1. DHS Tells Half a Million Immigrant Parolees to Leave Country - Bloomberg

Immigrants admitted to the US from a Biden-era parole program for Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela have begun receiving notices of termination urging them to depart the US.

Participants in the “CHNV” parole program were also told that their employment authorization is revoked effective immediately in email messages from the Department of Homeland Security, the agency said Thursday. (Read more)

2. Appeals court blocks ruling directing Trump return control of National Guard to California - USA Today 
 

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday temporarily halted a federal judge's order that blocked President Donald Trump's mobilization of thousands of National Guard troops to Los Angeles and required him to return control of troops to California.

The ruling came just hours after U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer issued a temporary restraining order finding that Trump's deployment of 4,000 Guard members was unlawful. The court said it would hold a remote hearing on the matter on June 17.

The decision does not mean that the court will ultimately agree with Trump, but it means he will maintain command of the National Guard for now. (Read more)

3. US orders 500,000 citizens of four countries to leave - BBC

Hundreds of thousands of immigrants who were given special permission to come to the US will be told that they must leave the country immediately. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a statement Thursday that Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans who were previously temporarily shielded from deportation will be emailed notices telling them to go. 

The DHS said that more than half a million people from the four countries were allowed to remain in the US for two years under orders issued by former President Joe Biden. The DHS previously said that through the end of November 2024, a total of 531,670 people were granted permission to stay in the US under the programme, and that as a result, illegal crossings from citizens of the four countries had decreased by 98%.

DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin called the Biden-era programme "disastrous" and in a statement said it opened the door for fraudulent claims and crime and it undercut American workers. 

President Trump cancelled Biden's order on parole with an executive order of his own shortly after he took office in January. In May the Supreme Court upheld his suspension of the humanitarian parole programme while a legal battle continues in lower courts.

The DHS has promised travel assistance and a $1,000 "exit bonus" to migrants without legal permission to be in the US who voluntarily leave the country.  (Read more)

US President Donald Trump says the Israeli strikes on nuclear and military targets in Iran have been “excellent” and warns there is much more to come, in a phone interview with ABC News.

“I think it’s been excellent. We gave them a chance and they didn’t take it. They got hit hard, very hard. They got hit about as hard as you’re going to get hit. And there’s more to come. A lot more,” Trump is quoted as saying by the outlet.

ABC News says that when the US president was asked whether there was American participation in the strikes, he said: “I don’t want to comment on that.” (Read more)

6.  China's military conducts patrols in South China Sea, warns Philippines - Reuters

China's military held joint sea and air patrols in the South China Sea on Saturday, a spokesperson for the People's Liberation Army's Southern Theater Command said.

Spokesperson Tian Junli said in a statement on Sunday that the Philippines has courted countries outside the region to organise "joint patrols" and "raised security risks" in the region.

"The theater command forces remain on high alert, resolutely safeguarding China's national sovereignty and maritime rights," he said, adding that "all military activities that seek to stir up trouble in the South China Sea or create flashpoints are fully under control."

The Philippine embassy in Beijing did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.

The Philippines and the United States conducted joint maritime drills in the South China Sea for a seventh time earlier this month. (Read more here)

A Prophetic Book Within the Book Foretelling
Messiah’s Return

The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, June 16, 2025

Tucked away in the wilderness account of Numbers 10 is one of the most intriguing prophetic markers in all of Scripture—a “book within the Book.” It’s found in verses 35–36, right as the Israelites set out from Sinai under the divine guidance of the Shekhinah Cloud. But these two verses don’t just stand out for their content—they’re framed by something incredibly rare in the Hebrew Bible: two backward, upside-down Hebrew letters—called nuns (pronounced noons). Hebrew letters carry symbolic meaning, and when you see something as odd as inverted nuns inserted directly into the inspired text, it’s not just decoration, it’s a divine signal. In this case, a hidden prophecy of the Messiah’s return.

The Jewish sages write in the Talmud that these two verses, bracketed by the flipped nuns, are treated as their own separate scroll—a book within the Torah. Before moving the camp, Moses declared Numbers 10:35, “Arise, O LORD! Let Your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate You flee before You.” And when the Ark rested, Moses would declare, “Return, O LORD, to the many thousands of Israel.” These were declarations of a supernatural conquest where, as the Ark of the Covenant went ahead of the people, God would miraculously clear out Israel’s enemies as He promised in Exodus 23:27–28: “I will send My terror before you… I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you… I will send hornets before you.” But that’s not exactly what happened.

DHS Respond After 'Violent Rioters' Storm ICE Facility, Assault Law Enforcement Officers
The Department of Homeland Security has responded after anti-ICE protesters in Portland, Oregon stormed an ICE facility and assaulted federal law enforcement officers on Saturday. 

"Secretary Noem’s message to the rioters is clear: you will not stop us or slow us down. ICE and our federal law enforcement partners will continue to enforce the law," reads a post on X. "If you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."

Multiple police officers were injured Saturday night in the attack - which included a mob launching fireworks, smoke grenades and rocks at federal law enforcement, causing property damage as they forcibly entered the ICE facility

Four officers were injured in the attack, which came after the city hosted a "No Kings" protest at 1 p.m. - which was framed by officials as a "large-scale free speech gathering." 

Tens of thousands of people showed up to march through downtown and returned to Waterfront Park around 4 p.m. - around five miles from the ICE field location, Fox News reports.

At around 6:30 p.m., the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) declared an unlawful assembly, while at around 8 p.m. they observed criminal activity - including assault and criminal mischief, and announced that they would be making targeted arrests.

"Portland rioters are violently targeting federal law enforcement and we won’t sit idly by and watch these cowards," Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital. "Secretary [Kristi] Noem’s message to the rioters is clear: you will not stop us or slow us down. ICE and our federal law enforcement partners will continue to enforce the law. And if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law." (Zerohedge) Read more here. 

- Holy One, we ask You to intervene directly in this matter, for this crisis is too big for us to handle, but it is not too big for You. Come, Lord Jesus, and bring Your peace where there has been violence. We ask that Your hand of protection would rest upon each law enforcement officer who is working to restore peace in Portland. We thank You, too, that they also have the support of Secretary Kristi Noem and her staff as they work to restore safety to this city. In Your Name, Abba, we offer this prayer, amen and amen.

- "Let God arise,
Let His enemies be scattered;
Let those also who hate Him flee before Him.
As smoke is driven away,
So drive them away;
As wax melts before the fire,
So let the wicked perish at the presence of God."

Major Development: Iran Sends Desperate Plea to Israel and US as Israeli Warplanes Circle Tehran

It appears at least one side in the deadly Israel-Iran conflict is ready to tentatively wave the white flag. And it’s not the side backed by the U.S. — though America’s looming presence apparently had something to do with it.

In a stunning report from The Wall Street Journal, it appears Tehran is ready to “de-escalate” tensions after Israel and Iran came into conflict late last week. “A Battered Iran Signals It Wants to De-Escalate Hostilities With Israel and Negotiate,” the Journal titled its article, adding, “intermediaries seek a return to talks if the U.S. stays out of the fight.”

Of note, the specter of the United States’ might has always been on the fringes of this Middle East conflict. As President Donald Trump personally noted on Truth, any Iranian attack on America would be met with unequivocal force.

Iran has been urgently signaling that it seeks an end to hostilities and resumption of talks over its nuclear programs, sending messages to Israel and the U.S. via Arab intermediaries,” the Journal reported.

Citing a “ferocious Israeli air campaign,” Iranian leadership is apparently desperate to ensure that the United States won’t join this offensive — desperate enough to return to nuclear enrichment negotiations that Iran has historically rebuffed.

Ominously, the Journal added that Israel isn’t exactly compelled to return to the negotiating table. (WND) Read more here.  

- Lord God, we are most grateful and encouraged that the Wall Street Journal is reporting this news. We embrace any subtle hint that Iran is moving towards negotiations, that may lead to peace in their land. Nevertheless, Holy One, let us not go ahead of your plan for these nations (Iran and Israel) but to pray in agreement, day by day, for Your will to be done on earth, as it is in heaven. We continue to praise You, Holy One, as we quietly stand back and watch what You will do among these nations. Most importantly, may all the peoples of both Iran and Israel come to know You as their Savior, their Lord and their King. In Your Name, Holy One, Amen and amen.

- "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." (Matthew 6:10)   
US Military Abruptly Changes Plans, Sends Valuable Asset to Middle East as Fighting Escalates

As Israel and Iran exchange attacks, the United States is moving military assets into the Middle East in case it should take an active role in the combat. On Monday, the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz left the South China Sea, canceling a planned port call in the Vietnamese city of Danang, according to Reuters.

The Nimitz Carrier Strike Group entered the South China Sea last week, as “part of the U.S. Navy’s routine presence in the Indo-Pacific,” according to the website of the Commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. The Nimitz is heading to the Middle East ahead of schedule, according to Fox News.The Nimitz Strike Group had been scheduled to replace the USS Carl Vinson carrier strike group, which has been deployed in the Middle East.

In a post on social media platform X, Jennifer Griffin of Fox News said the deployment of the Nimitz carried vast symbolism. “The USS Nimitz is the oldest active aircraft carrier in the U.S. Navy, commissioned on May 3, 1975. Scheduled to be decommissioned in 2026, this is possibly its final sea voyage,” she posted.

“This is a very significant symbolic deployment because it was deployed in 1980 and its helicopters that were part of the failed US effort known as Operation Eagle Claw to rescue the American hostages being held at the US Embassy in Tehran. The US has been in a shadow war against Iran ever since,” she posted.

As the Navy increases its strength, the Air Force is increasing flexibility and options by moving what a U.S. official called “a large number” of refueling tankers to Europe.(WND)

Scientists detect mysterious radio waves coming from beneath Antarctica's ice
Researchers using balloon-mounted instruments discover signals that should be physically impossible to detect

A group of researchers in Antarctica have found strange radio waves coming from below the ice.

According to the results published in the Physical Review Letters, the mysterious radio waves were discovered by the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA).

During this experiment, the researchers analyzed signals traveling to Earth using a variety of instruments.

Using balloons to send the instruments up high into the atmosphere, the goal was to gain new understandings of cosmic events throughout the universe.

According to the release, the reason Antarctica was the site of these experiments was due to little to no interference from other radio waves.

However, the researchers found radio waves transmitting from under the ice instead.

Stephanie Wissel, associate professor of physics, astronomy and astrophysics from Penn State, and one of the researchers discussed in a release by the college, revealed they discovered the radio waves while searching for a particle known as neutrinos. Read More
