Israel at War – Daniel’s 70th Week

Yes, we DID just discuss Daniel chapter 9 on the show recently, just a couple weeks ago in fact. Who knew at the time that it would become urgently relevant so soon thereafter? Today on Something’s Happening Here, we study out Daniel’s 70th Week: the subject of the futurist theology invented by Father Francisco Ribera …

Israel at War – Who Is Israel?

Yesterday we looked at some of the Biblical imagery that leads some believers to see the nation of Israel and its potential third temple as the fulfillments of various prophecies. So to investigate this further, we have to ask about Israel itself, Biblically speaking. Can it be true that a little detail from the story …

Israel at War – Why Are Evangelicals So Excited

I’m not here to make you mad this week, friends, but I probably will; because this week on Something’s Happening Here our focus is on the Middle Eastern nation of Israel, its recent declaration of war against Hamas, and the many theological ideas swirling around it, many of which come from American Evangelical Christians. On …

Circling the Drain – Intellectually Bankrupt

It’s Friday, which often means it’s time for an A.I. Update on Something’s Happening Here. But today, we’ll approach Artificial Intelligence from a place of satire rather than alarm; because A.I. is just a supercomputer’s conglomeration of human knowledge and thought processes. It is just a reflection of ourselves, as broken and corrupt as we …

Circling the Drain – Tighten the Belt Until it Breaks

The Great Recession of 2008 and onward happened in large part due to the tightening of credit standards at major banks. Businesses of all sizes depend on positive cash flow to keep operations going, and often that involves some sort of credit. This happens routinely, and to everyone’s benefit when the system works. But when …

Circling the Drain – Running on Empty

A quote attributed to Ernest Hemingway goes like this: “How did you go bankrupt?” “Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.” You and I are living through a clear societal decline in the Western world, by many metrics, for many reasons; and many may wonder how it came to be this way. Is it all Biden’s fault? …

Inventors of Evil – Seeing Isn’t Believing

Perhaps never before have we had the same opportunity to understand why God enshrined into His eternal law the idea that we are not to bear false witness. Often this command is reduced to “do not lie,” and okay that’s fine, but “bearing witness” is an active deception, a willful promotion as truth that which …

Inventors of Evil – Money Money Money Money … MONEY!

Remember Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous? In the 80s, we liked to peek into the lives of those who were far wealthier than we, for some reason. It was the culture of the time, Greed Is Good, and we institutionalized this envy into a popular television series. Twenty years later, the same spirit manifested …

Inventors of Evil – Not Just Dazed and Confused

When I was growing up, I recall watching a video in high school health class about the dangers of using heroin. A teenager, very straight-laced, was peer-pressured into trying heroin just one time, and it killed him. Therefore, the lesson was, avoid it at all costs, because even one use can end it all. Fast …

Inventors of Evil – You Are Not Your Own
