The most durable lie in Middle Eastern politics does not begin in a cabinet minute or a general-staff map. It begins with a refusal. Refuse the oath God swore to Abraham. Refuse the city in which the prophets said the King would stand. Then invent a Jewish empire large enough to make that refusal look… Read more

For half a century, a certain kind of American prophecy has treated Ezekiel’s Gog and Magog as a near-term headline. Russia, Iran and Turkey would form a coalition. They would strike a vulnerable Israel. The attack would ignite the tribulation, or at least announce it. The wall charts were tidy. The nations were familiar. The… Read more

For two millennia, Christians have debated the identity of the Antichrist described in Daniel, Revelation, and the epistles of John. The figure is not merely a tyrant. He is the embodiment of a spirit already at work: the denial that Jesus is the Christ, the denial of the Father and the Son, and the denial… Read more

America has learned to speak of Hinduism the way a museum speaks of marble: as heritage, as color, as a generous alternative to the narrowness of the West. City parks fill with Diwali lamps.

The most important fact about Lindsay Clancy is not the diagnosis later attached to her name. It is the deed. In a house in Duxbury, Massachusetts, in January 2023, a mother killed her three children—Cora, five; Dawson, three; Callan, eight months—and then tried to follow them. What the country did next was the sermon. A… Read more

Every few years the Book of Enoch returns like a recovered relic. It is praised as the suppressed prequel to Genesis, the secret key to the Flood, the text “they” removed from the Bible.
