Dear subscriber,
The book of Habakkuk may be an Old Testament book, but it contains an important message for us today. In it, Habakkuk discusses the time just prior to the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem—a type of what is going to happen in this end time.
In his new Key of David program, my father explains that in order to survive such a fierce crisis we must have the same depth of faith that Habakkuk had.
“Habakkuk had a depth of faith that we need to study more closely, and so today I want to show you WHY his faith was so powerful and give you seven reasons why it was so great,” he said.
If you would like to learn why Habbakuk had such great faith, and how to acquire it yourself, please watch my father’s new program this weekend, “Why Habakkuk Had Such Great Faith.” |

What You Should Know About President Trump’s State of the Union Address
The United States is more united than it has ever been. The nation is filled with optimism and righteousness. God is on our side. We can conquer any obstacle with American ingenuity and hard work—because we’re America, and that’s what Americans do.
That’s a brief summary of what U.S. President Donald Trump said during his State of the Union address on Tuesday. And as an American, I want to agree with him. But America is in serious trouble. Only God can fix our problems and make America great again.
Look at America’s fierce political division, its looming economic crisis, racial tensions, endemic social upheaval and the multiple billion-dollar weather-related disasters that happened just last year. These are not signs of a healthy, prosperous nation! America is sharply divided, and it has become more divided since President Trump took office. |

Iranian Presence in Mediterranean Sea Alarms Israel
Israeli Adm. Shaul Chorev (Ret.) has warned that Israel’s next proxy war with Iran “could see a focus on the [Mediterranean] Sea.”
The Jerusalem Post quoted the retired naval officer on January 28 as cautioning that the strategy of Iran’s Lebanese proxy, Hezbollah, clearly shows that “they will target Israeli strategic assets.” To do that, he said, they could use suicide vessels or land-to-sea missiles.
Iran “is on the verge of reaching the Mediterranean, including the use of Syrian ports by the Iranian Navy,” Chorev said. “Iranian ports in the eastern Mediterranean are a real risk for Israel.”
Access to the Mediterranean is strategically important to Iran’s aggressive pursuit of regional hegemony. It’s also a geopolitical necessity, which “explains why Iranian and Persian strategy has always focused on developing proxies or strategic relationships with countries amenable to its designs,” Geopolitical Futures wrote on January 3. |

Why Germany Is Arming Certain African and Middle Eastern Nations
Germany’s public broadcaster ARD reported on January 23 that during the legislative period between 2014 and 2017, Germany exported more weapons than any prior German government.
“Germany is the world’s third-biggest arms exporter, but weapons sales remain a domestically sensitive issue given the country’s World War II history,” Reuters reported on January 23. Yet over the last four years, the German government has approved a record $30.9 billion in weapons sales, according to data leaked to ARD from the Economics Ministry. Exports to nations outside the European Union and NATO jumped 47 percent compared to sales approved by the 2010–2013 government. |

Pentagon: Russia and China Capable of Destroying U.S. Satellites by 2020
Russia and China are developing weaponry that can destroy vital American satellites, according to a new report by the Pentagon’s Joint Staff intelligence directorate.
Washington Free Beacon quoted officials familiar with the report on January 30 as saying, “China and Russia will be capable of severely disrupting or destroying U.S. satellites in low-Earth orbit” by 2020.
The new report echoes the warnings issued in May 2017 by Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats. “We assess that Russia and China perceive a need to offset any U.S. military advantage derived from military, civil or commercial space systems and are increasingly considering attacks against satellite systems as part of their future warfare doctrine,” Coats said in a testimony to Congress. “Both will continue to pursue a full range of anti-satellite weapons as a means to reduce U.S. military effectiveness.” |
