FIRST SAMUEL RECORDS THAT THE IDOL DAGON FELL ON ITS FACE BEFORE THE ARK TWO MORNINGS IN A ROW, AND THE SECOND TIME ITS HEAD AND HANDS LAY ON THE THRESHOLD. 🗿📜
First Samuel chapter 4 records one of the darkest days in Israel’s history. The army was losing to the Philistines, so the elders sent for the Ark of the Covenant, treating it like a weapon that would guarantee victory. The plan failed completely. Israel was defeated, the two sons of the high priest Eli fell in battle, and the Ark of God was captured. When old Eli heard the news, he fell backward from his seat and died. His daughter-in-law named her newborn son Ichabod: “The glory has departed”
Beloved, the glory of God may look captured for a season, but it is never defeated. Every idol eventually falls on its face before His presence. If you feel that the glory has departed from your life, invite the Lord back into the center of your house. Pray today: “Lord, let every idol in my home fall before You.” What He enters, He rules, and nothing raised against Him will remain standing.
He besieged the city. Then he had the siege carved into his own palace wall, in stone, with his name attached. Twenty-six centuries later, archaeologists dug up the city he was bragging about — and found it exactly where he said it was.
In 701 BC, the Assyrian king Sennacherib marched against the kingdom of Judah. The Bible describes it in three separate places — 2 Kings 18–19, 2 Chronicles 32, and Isaiah 36–37 — during the reign of King Hezekiah. One of the cities he attacked was Lachish, Judah’s second most important city after Jerusalem.
Sennacherib didn’t just conquer Lachish. He was proud enough of it to commission an enormous series of stone relief panels depicting the siege in vivid detail, and installed them in his own palace at Nineveh. They show archers, siege engines, a massive ramp built against the city wall, defenders on the ramparts, and rows of captives being led away. An inscription beside the panels records Sennacherib reviewing the plunder of Lachish in person.
Archaeologists excavating Tel Lachish in Israel — across decades of work by Starkey, Aharoni, Ussishkin, and Garfinkel — found the physical siege ramp still standing, built from roughly 20,000 tons of stone. They found a destruction layer of ash and collapsed walls dated to the same period. They found arrowheads, sling stones, and a chain believed to belong to one of the battering rams shown on the Nineveh reliefs.
This is not a case of faith filling in gaps where evidence is silent. This is a Judean city, a Judean king, and an Assyrian campaign attested independently in Hebrew scripture, in Assyrian royal inscriptions, in a palace relief carved by the victors, and in the ground itself. The relief shows a ramp. The excavation found the ramp. The Bible says the city fell. The archaeology shows it burned.
The Bible is not describing a mythical world disconnected from history. It places its people, kings, cities, and battles in a real geographical and historical setting — and Lachish is one of the places where those claims can still be walked on, dug into, and verified today.
I would have believed Muhammad and the Quran if Jesus had not said, “IT IS FINISHED.”
I would have believed Muhammad and the Quran if all of Jesus apostles had not remained faithful even after His death.
I would have believed Muhammad and the Quran if the prophecies of the Old Testament had not been fulfilled in the New Testament.
I would have believed Muhammad and the Quran if Jesus had not clearly spoken about His blood being for the forgiveness of sins.
I would have believed Muhammad and the Quran if everything had been corrected immediately after Jesus death, before Christianity spread widely, instead of being addressed about 600 years later.
I would have believed Muhammad and the Quran if the Bible had not warned about angels bringing messages different from the gospel.
I would have believed in Muhammad and the Quran if he hadn’t pointed people away from Jesus to a strange god.
Lastly, I would have believed Muhammad and the Quran if there had been no misunderstanding about the Trinity and why Christians speak of God as Father.
He who becomes a friend to the world’s ways becomes an enemy to Christ’s ways and people. When you begin to love them, you begin to dislike Christ’s religion. When you begin to worship money you cease to worship God. When you begin to love the house of pleasure you begin to dislike the house […]
President Trump is truly a man of his word. The haters are criticizing him for no real reason, spreading unnecessary negativity about his administration, but he is doing a good job 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Exactly what this is: Spiritual Warfare (Good vs. Evil)…. You don’t have to believe what the Bible says, but I do. The Craziness that keeps getting worse and worse every day with all new crazy events happening almost every day are no coincidence. The Bible and the book of Revelation especially cover what’s going on right now and it is most definitely without a shadow of a doubt, Good vs. Evil. This Alien thing is getting ready to get extremely bizarre as well. I hope you know Christ.
People have been hating on God’s chosen people since the beginning of time. It doesn’t work out in the end for any of them. You would think, even if they are not a believer, that they would have gotten the message by now.
Hating on Christ followers is no different and has the same negative eternal consequences if there is no repentance.
Leftist Mob Melts Down Over ‘Deport White Liberals’ Shirt at Anti-Trump Protest
Rancho Palos Verdes, California — March 28, 2026. So much for tolerant liberals. A pack of “No Kings” protesters swarmed a lone conservative man wearing a “Deport White Liberals” t-shirt outside Trump National Golf Club, screaming insults and demanding he leave because one guy with a different opinion somehow terrified them.
The video shows the man standing his ground calmly as dozens circle him, megaphones blaring and the crowd chanting nonstop. “Racist! Racist! Racist!” a woman shouts through the megaphone. “Go home! Go home!”
Protesters pile on with raw fury. “You’re a fucking racist!” one yells. “Racists go home! Racists go home!” the group chants in unison, whistles and noise filling the air. When the man quietly responds, “I’m not a racist,” they drown him out instantly: “Yes you are!” “Get the fuck out!” “Leave! Racist!”
The harassment continues for the full 40 seconds captured: “Racists go home!” repeated like a broken record, with extra jabs like “You’re scaring people!” thrown in. Police stand nearby watching but don’t step in as the mob presses close, all because one man dared show up with a shirt mocking their own hypocrisy.
This is the “resistance” in action — peaceful on paper, but a snarling intolerance fest up close. One guy outnumbered 50-to-1 triggers their full meltdown, proving once again that leftists love diversity of everything except thought. Free speech only applies when you agree with them. The rest get labeled, shouted down, and chased off.
I see people living as if they expect to live here forever, building, digging in, fortifyng themselves, perparing for many years, when, if the truth could be seen, a few short months are all that are left.
A story from an unnown source; a prosperous man was stricken by disease one day in his office. He was placed in the hospital, where there appeared before him a vision of a stranger, a stranger seemingly from another world. The stranger said, “I am Death, and I have come for you.” “Oh,” cried the ill man, “I am not prepared to die. I cannot die now! Give me one more chance. I promise to prepare for you, and to be ready the next time you call.” Strange to say, Death took him at his word and gave him another chance. He improved and was soon back in his office and at his work. Like hundreds before him, with the return of good health came the old habit of rejecting the Christ. He failed to keep his promise. A few weeks later he was again stricken with disease, and aain was placed in the ambulance and taken to the hospital, where he was the second time approached by the stranger. “I am Death,” said the stranger, “and I have come for you.” “But,” cried the patient, “I am not ready for you. I cannot die now. Give me one chance more. I promise to be properly ready next time you come.” But it was too late. Death had come this time to take him. Certainly Death is coming for us all. For a season we can stay the grim hand, but for a season only. All too soon he will come to call for us and will not be denied.
The next world is our forever home, choose carefully which it will be; the one with Jesus the Christ or the one without Him.
