– But no one can cross the cordon of the powerful guardians placed around each faithful. Some are attacked while fleeing cities and towns. But the swords raised against them break and fall like straw. Others are defended by angels in the form of warriors.
Today, 30th June 2026, was a momentous day for British radio broadcasting, and sadly not in a positive sense. Transmissions on the longwave band were finally brought to a close after 102 years, truly marking the end of an era. Yet, even as hope remains alive for longwave to be revived one day, campaigns are […]
Longwave transmissions cease after 102 years
– This small remnant, unable to defend themselves in the deadly conflict against the powers of Earth commanded by the dragon host, makes God their defense. The decree has been promulgated by the highest earthly authority that they worship the beast and receive his mark, under pain of persecution and death. God help his people then! Because what could he do without his help in such a terrible conflict.

– The time of trouble is about to come for God’s people. It will be then that the decree will be promulgated prohibiting the buying or selling of those who keep the Sabbath of the Lord, and that will threaten them with punishment, and even death, if they do not observe the first day of the week as a day of rest. The wrath of man will be aroused in a special way against those who keep holy the Sabbath of the fourth Commandment; and in the end a universal decree will denounce them as deserving of death.
– The remnant church will be brought into great trial and distress. Those who obey the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus will experience the wrath of the dragon and his hosts. Satan considers the inhabitants of the world to be his subjects. He has gained control of the apostate churches; but there is a small group that resists his supremacy.
If he could erase them from Earth, his triumph would be complete. Just as he influenced the heathen nations to destroy Israel, so in the near future he will incite the evil powers of Earth to destroy God’s people.
– From the pulpits of popular churches will be heard the declaration that the world is being punished because Sunday is not honored as it should be. It will be insistently demanded that the few who oppose an institution of the church and a law of the State not be tolerated; for it is better that these few suffer than that whole nations be precipitated into confusion and anarchy.
– It is not always safe to ask for unconditional healing…He knows if those prayed for will be able to withstand the afflictions and trials that will befall them if they survive. He knows the end from the beginning. Many will be called to the sleep of death before the terrible trials of the time of trouble come upon our world.
– The “time of trouble, such as never was after there were people” (Dan. 12:1) will begin soon; and by then we will need to have an experience that we do not have today and that many cannot achieve due to their indolence.
When Jesus leaves the Holy of Holies, his restraining Spirit will withdraw from the rulers and the people. These will remain under the dominion of the evil angels. Then, by the advice and direction of Satan, such laws will be made that unless the time be very short, no flesh will be saved.
When Christ finishes his mediatorial work on behalf of man, then will begin that time of trouble [Jacob’s trouble; Jer. 30:5-7]. Then the fate of each soul will have been decided, and there will no longer be atoning blood to cleanse us from sin.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday announced a new effort to annually screen service members’ testosterone levels and offer testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), framing it as a way to keep troops on the “leading edge of lethality.”
The screening, added as part of warfighters’ periodic health assessment, will affect troops age 30 and older, though those younger than 30 can voluntarily choose to get the test, Hegseth said in a video message posted to the social platform X.
“While we invest heavily in our weapon systems, platforms and gear, our most decisive tactical advantage will always be the individual warfighter,” Hegseth said. “We have a sacred duty to maintain that advantage, which is why we must constantly look for new ways to optimize your performance, your resilience and your long-term health.”
The Pentagon chief authorized the new screening program to ensure troops “have the right testosterone levels to operate at [their] absolute best because it’s well-established science that as we age, testosterone levels often naturally drop,” he said.
Should treatment be recommended following the test, service members have the choice to receive TRT.
“This initiative it’s not about artificial enhancement; it’s about restoring and optimizing your natural capabilities, protecting your longevity, ensuring you have the biological foundation required to sustain and fight,” according to Hegseth. “We owe our warriors the absolute best medical care in the world. And this program delivers on that obligation.”
Added to the video, Hegseth wrote: “The High-T Department of War.”
Traditional masculinity has been a fixture of the Trump administration. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in January declared that Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz had reviewed President Trump’s medical records and found that he had “the highest testosterone levels that he’s ever seen for an individual over 70.”
And in April, the Food and Drug Administration moved to expand access to TRT after decades of recommending it only be prescribed to men with medical issues affecting testosterone production.
Hegseth, a former National Guard member and Fox News host, has imposed new, stricter fitness standards on the U.S. military that will require everyone to meet a “male standard.” He also has sought to highlight troops’ health by frequently working out with service members.
Last September, in a speech addressing several hundred high-ranking officials in Quantico, Va., Hegseth said he didn’t want to see overweight troops or “fat generals and admirals.”
Roughly 5.6 percent of men between 30 and 79 years old have testosterone deficiency, which can cause muscle loss, fatigue, weight gain and sexual dysfunction. It also is linked to other serious health conditions including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and depression.
“By addressing these health markers early, we’re keeping you on the leading edge of lethality and giving you the same level of support that you give this nation the absolute best,” Hegseth said.
