America is removing thousands of troops from Germany, signaling its intention to disengage from Europe. Is this a smart move? Meanwhile, the writing may be on the wall for British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s rule, the Iran war may be concluded with a deal amazingly similar to President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal, and India may be becoming a one-party state.

In this episode, we revisit Herbert W. Armstrong’s urgent warnings about the rise of a united Europe led by Germany—a resurrected Roman Empire that the world least expects. Decades before today’s headlines, Mr. Armstrong declared that Germany would rearm, dominate Europe, and lead a 10-nation superpower that would shock the world. He based these warnings squarely on Bible prophecy. Everything Herbert Armstrong prophesied is happening in plain sight—yet most people remain asleep.Links: Free book: He Was Right: https://www.thetrumpet.com/literature/books_and_booklets/4705 Learn more about who we are and what you can do: https://www.thetrumpet.com/about

Britain’s King Charles III visited the United States this week, making history as the second British monarch ever to speak in front of both houses of Congress. As America faces a deepening political crisis at home and as the world sees crises in the Middle East, Europe and beyond, the King’s speech was a positive respite. But can it bring true unity?

Germany has declared that the Iran war is not its fight. What does Germany really mean? From the outside, it seems Germany and Europe are trying to keep their hands clean in this war and not be involved, but as European correspondent Josué Michels explains, Germany has definite secret plans to influence the Middle East. For decades, Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry has exposed these tactics, and we can now see them coming to pass.

The war in Iran is over—or is it? Iran has cemented its control over the Strait of Hormuz and may plan on leveraging this important maritime choke point against the rest of the world permanently.

Is Iran’s government about to fall? Will the United States really move on Greenland? Why is Germany’s intelligence service becoming far more aggressive? This week’s developments aren’t isolated—they signal major shifts in global power. In the Middle East, Iran faces escalating unrest as violence and economic strain challenge the regime’s hold on power. Is Tehran losing control? In the United States, Greenland is emerging as a strategic hotspot as Washington recalibrates military positions, trade routes and Arctic security. But are these moves enough—or will growing tensions help forge a power bloc against America? Across Europe, Germany’s intelligence service, originally built by an ex-Nazi, is expanding its reach amid rising war pressures and instability. Power is consolidating fast. Is the Continent moving toward tighter control? In Asia, China is deepening cooperation with its neighbors. Xi recently met with South Korea’s president, signaling China’s growing ambitions, including toward Taiwan.

Activist group Turning Point USA hosted rapper Nicki Minaj in its recent “America Fest” as an example of a celebrity who has turned “Christian.” It doesn’t take much digging to show that platforming a pop star who glorifies sex sins and profanity is not Christian. But it is only the most high-profile recent example of artists wrapping a Christian bow on their otherwise worldly content. Andrew Miiller explores this trend and more. Host Richard Palmer dives into Pope Leo’s Christmas Day criticism of Israel, which was more than just another verbal insult. The pope’s comments show the Vatican’s centuries-old overarching desire to control the Holy Land. Jeremiah Jacques analyzes a new report from the U.S. Department of Defense, which shows China is massively upgrading its nuclear arsenal—while several other countries also flirt with gaining a nuclear bomb. One of those countries is Iran. Mihailo Zekic explains a think tank report that suggests Iran has finally decided to build a nuclear bomb.

The rise of Germany’s war machine made headlines in 2025. Soaring defense spending and the explosion of start-ups aiding development of AI drone technology and other military hardware are drawing attention to Germany. For decades, Herbert W. Armstrong and now Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry have highlighted the significance of this trend as it relates to Bible prophecy. In today’s episode, host Richard Palmer dives into several articles written over the past year by Mr. Flurry explaining why you need to watch Germany. “Germany Is Arming for World War III”“Who Is Leading Germany?”The United States and Britain in ProphecyThe King of the South

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi wants nuclear weapons—an amazing development for the only country to have nuclear weapons used against it so far. Where could a nuclear-armed Japan take the world in light of Bible prophecy? Jeremiah Jacques delves into this and more. While the world is focused on America’s battle with Venezuela, a different battle is taking place in Latin America: a proxy corporate battle between America and China over the Panama Canal. The Panama Canal used to be one of America’s greatest blessings; now, control over that canal threatens to cripple America. Andrew Miiller analyzes where the Panama Canal fits in with Bible prophecy and what it means now that America no longer controls it. Germany’s parliamentary budget committee has approved a record number of defense procurement projects, bringing the combined value of approved defense procurement projects in 2025 to about $120 billion. Germany is rapidly becoming Europe’s dominant military, which host Richard Palmer explains is a significant step toward fulfilling a major Bible prophecy.

Every year, there is a war over Christmas. Christmas has become materialistic, commercialized and secular. But should we be keeping it at all? While some say Christmas is pagan, others push back. Host Richard Palmer examines the origins of Christmas, as well as what the Bible says about repurposing pagan festivals. The Truth About ChristmasPagan Holidays—or God’s Holy Days—Which?

On today’s show, host Richard Palmer discusses United States President Donald Trump’s new National Security Strategy, which claims Europe’s progressive policies are threatening “civilizational erasure.” Yet the same document says President Trump wants to encourage Europe to become a dominant world power. Where will these trends take mankind in light of Bible prophecy? German Chancellor Friedrich Merz held a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on December 7. They were celebrating Israel selling its coveted Arrow 3 missile defense system to Germany. Eighty years after the Holocaust, Israel is committed to protecting Germany. Mihailo Zekic discusses how this sets Israel up for disaster. What happened to the Uyghurs? The Muslim Turkic minority in China’s northwest has been persecuted through genocide for years by the Chinese Communist Party—yet with so many other crises in the world, the media seems to have forgotten about their plight. Jeremiah Jacques explores this and other significant stories from Asia. Finally, Andrew Miiller examines what it means for the U.S. Department of Defense to integrate Google’s Gemini artificial intelligence into its services—and how this could relate to a prophecy in the book of Daniel about “dark sentences” influencing the world.

The Battle of Broken Hill is considered the first terrorist attack on Australian soil. Since that dark event, numerous attacks have taken place. Why? Australia, like many Western nations, has an immigration system that is deeply flawed. Correspondent Callum Wood discusses this history and what the Bible says about strangers in the land. He points to Herbert W. Armstrong’s book The United States and Britain in Prophecy, which explains many of the reasons behind broken immigration policies but also focuses on the incredible hope on the horizon.

Pope Leo XIV visited Lebanon and conducted a mass at the site of the Beirut blast. Mihailo Zekic breaks down his message to the region and shows how prophetically significant this visit and support for the pope is. There is a bromance brewing between Putin and Modi. For a long time, India has done a good job at looking like a fence-sitter between America and Russia, but Putin’s trip to India reveals just how close they are. Jeremiah Jacques highlights the prophecies connected to this eye-opening trip filled with bear hugs and red carpets. And as peace plans fail again, is this part of Putin’s plan? Host Richard Palmer explains how mainstream media is starting to catch on to the rising German war machine. Something we at the Trumpet have been writing about for years. He highlights an Atlantic article and how it shouldn’t surprise our viewers that Germany is rising militarily. Also this week, the UK welcomed the German president for a visit. Andrew Miiller discusses the escalating tension between America and Venezuela, complete with drone strikes and the secretary of war firing memes. The pope even weighed in on the events. He also covers Texas getting backing from the Supreme Court to redistrict, President Trump canceling Biden autopen signatures, and news that smartphones are harming your children. “Why You Need to Watch Lebanon” “Aiding the Enemy” “Cyprus—Owned by Germany” “America Is Being Besieged Economically” Russia and China in Prophecy

Every year, millions of people celebrate Halloween, Easter, Christmas and numerous other holidays fueled by consumerism. But are these holidays holy? Are they in the Bible? Many Christians keep these days knowing their pagan origins; they justify their traditions by claiming they are all about family and giving. Is that OK in God’s eyes? Callum Wood highlights the rise in pagan celebrations down under, but this trend applies globally. He also explains what the Bible says about these days and which holy days every true Christian should keep. Pagan Holidays—or God’s Holy Days—Which? The Truth About Christmas

World War III has already begun and is being fought piecemeal around the world, Pope Leo said during his first overseas trip as pope. The panelists on Trumpet World dissect his visit to Turkey. Ahead of the trip, the pope issued a letter on the upcoming 1,700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, the landmark meeting that established governmental involvement in Christian doctrine and changed the Western world forever. Mihailo Zekic gives updates to the supposed peace in the Middle East. Andrew Miiller discusses the ongoing lawfare in the United States and the tragic shooting of National Guard members in Washington, D.C. Finally, host Richard Palmer updates us on news from Germany and how, once again, the coalition has failed. He highlights the failures of Chancellor Merz and how Mr. Gerald Flurry and Herbert Armstrong warned for decades that a coalition crisis in Germany will pave the way for a strong leader to rise. “The True Legacy of Nicaea”: https://www.thetrumpet.com/32735-the-true-legacy-of-nicaea The King of the South: https://www.thetrumpet.com/literature/books_and_booklets/4656 America Under Attack: https://www.thetrumpet.com/literature/books_and_booklets/4202 He Was Right: https://www.thetrumpet.com/literature/books_and_booklets/2313 A Strong German Leader Is Imminent: https://www.thetrumpet.com/literature/books_and_booklets/2338
