A View from the Bunker

ISLAMIC ACTIVISTS pressured the U.S. Army War College into canceling a presentation by scholar Raymond Ibrahim last year, apparently convincing the administration that talking about documented history is somehow Islamophobic. This year, the War College followed through on its invitation over the objections of CAIR and others. Raymond discusses the reception he received, the Western world’s shocking ignorance of its long history with Islam, and why some imams claim that Islamic rituals are protecting them from COVID-19. Then messianic Rabbi Zev Porat tells us how COVID-19 is opening doors to preach the gospel in Israel. Download our free mobile app!

MOST AMERICAN Christians don’t really believe in about a quarter of the Bible—the parts that deal with end times prophecy. Brent MIller, Jr. of Ingenuity Films (www.IngenuityFilms.com) discusses his new documentary Before the Wrath (www.beforethewrath.com), narrated by Kevin Sorbo, which explains how rediscovered evidence from the time of Christ reveals exactly how and why the Rapture must occur.

GOD PROMISED to bless those who bless Israel. There is no better way to bless the people of Israel than by working to share the good news of Messiah. Ted Vanlandeghem is the Director of Partner Relations for Maoz Israel, one of the first ministries to reach out to the Jewish people in Israel with the good news of the gospel.

JESUS TOLD stories to express transcendent truths. We Christians should encourage the artists among us who are trying to do the same—especially when they’re trying to preach outside the choir. Bryan Sawyer is an actor who’ll be featured in Half Blood, a horror series coming to Amazon Prime Video later this year, and he’s working with the writers to bring some biblical truth to the plot.

IT SOUNDS like something from a Hollywood film, but it’s real—and if our guest tonight has truly deciphered it, this artifact could be world-changing.

IT’S SAID that history repeats itself, and it’s beginning to look as though the coronavirus outbreak is following the pattern of the Great Influenza of 1918. 400 million people in China are under quarantine—about equal to the combined populations of the US, UK, and Canada. Zach Drew, host of The Zach Drew Show, rejoins us to discuss the information coming from China (or lack thereof), why we should prepare for an economic shock, and some of the theories that have been floated about whether this virus escaped (or was released) from a laboratory in Wuhan, China.

USING MEDIA to spread the gospel is more important today than ever. The Internet offers so many distractions that cutting through the clutter is a challenge. Zach Drew is a young man who’s been led to use video to communicate the gospel and the reality of the supernatural war in which we’re all deployed. He tells us when and how he felt this call, why he chose to study under Christian television pioneer Jim Bakker, and where and how his ministry may grow in the years ahead. Follow Zach’s ministry and watch his program, The Zach Drew Show, at his website ZachDrewShow.com. ALSO: The rapidly spreading coronavirus may be a bioweapon that escaped from a lab in Wuhan, China.

MOST AMERICAN Christians are Christians in name only. Surveys by the Barna Group reveal that upwards of three-quarters of us don’t really believe in God as He’s revealed Himself through His word.

IN TODAY’S scientistic, naturalistic world, why would a serious scholar of biblical theology endorse the idea that angels literally procreated with human women to produce giants? Tim Chaffey of Risen Ministries, author of Fallen: The Sons of God and the Nephilim, explains why a Christian apologist who defends the truth of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation chose to defend the minority view of Genesis 6:1-4.

GOD HAS called us men to serve Him as warriors and priests. How is it possible to balance what appear to be mutually exclusive roles—especially in a culture that tells us that masculinity is “toxic”?
