G7-Summit Trump Indigenous Leader

KANANASKIS, Alberta (AP) — A Canadian Indigenous leader who greeted world heads of state arriving for the Group of Seven summit says he was “filled with rage” and considered leaving before Donald Trump arrived — saying the U.S. president has “caused much pain and suffering in the world.”

[1] Then Job answered and said, [2] Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning. [3] Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat! [4] I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments. [5] I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.Job 23 : 1-5

Instead, Steven Crowchild prayed, consulted with his peoples’ leaders and ultimately opted to stay on the tarmac for a long conversation with Trump that he hopes will call more attention to promoting peace, protecting clean water and other issues key to Canada’s First Nation peoples.

In the beginning, God was revealed in all the works of creation. It was Christ that spread the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth. It was His hand that hung the worlds in space, and fashioned the flowers of the field. “His strength setteth fast the mountains.” “The sea is His, and He made it.” Psalm 65:6; 95:5. It was He that filled the earth with beauty, and the air with song. And upon all things in earth, and air, and sky, He wrote the message of the Father’s love. DA 20.1

“It was really intense, to say the least,” Crowchild told The Associated Press on Monday, recalling his lengthy encounter with Trump on Sunday night in Calgary for the G7 in nearby Kananaskis. “When I woke up on Father’s Day, I didn’t anticipate I would be seeing world leaders, and one certain individual that has caused much pain and suffering in the world.”

Why do we not remember that Christ is our light, our salvation? He gave His own precious life that we might be guided, strengthened, and sustained. Why do we not go to Him as a child goes to its father. He is our Helper, our Sufficiency, our all and in all. If we go to Him in faith, we shall never fail to receive comfort. He will deal gently with us in our infirmities; for He has been tempted in all points like as we are. 16LtMs, Ms 28, 1901, par. 17

In Canada, First Nations refers to one of three major legally recognized groups of aboriginal people. Crowchild, of the Tsuut’ina First Nation, is a Tsuut’ina Isgiya and a current elected member of the Tsuut’ina Nation Xakujaa-yina and Chief and Council.

Crowchild said he spoke in his people’s traditional language, wore feathered headgear that made him feel strong and showed Trump treaty medals that he told the president were older than Canada itself. Trump wore a white “Make America Great Again” cap and appeared to be listening at length — though both sides declined to comment on exactly what was said.

I almost didn’t stay. I was filled with rage

And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.John 2 : 25

“When it came to that one individual, I almost didn’t stay. I was filled with rage,” (Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.Zephaniah 3 : 8)

‘My People’ My Sheep, Thy rage against me!

thy rage against

Crowchild said. “I was going to go home because I didn’t want to bring any negativity to my people. However, I did consult with close people and advisers and, based on feedback, I stayed, considering that visibility is key and diplomacy is important.”

[26] Hast thou not heard long ago, how I have done it; and of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste defenced cities into ruinous heaps. [28] But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.Isaiah 37 : 26, 28

Our Seer_High Priest Pope Francis had “returned in cloud to the Father’s house. He accompanies us and prays for the Church from Heaven.”

Our Representative and High Priest!

Aware that “no Indigenous representation was there at the time,” Crowchild said he “prayed to my creator” and “really thought of those suffering around the world” in choosing to speak to Trump.

Every one will be tested. Men professing to be Christians will be placed in positions of trust, as guardians over the flock of God. But if they act as dictators, using arbitrary authority, they are out of their place. Christ alone is our sufficiency. Great mischief has resulted from the course of men who set themselves as lords over God’s heritage.
We are God’s property. In Jesus Christ we are to behold a pattern of what we should be. Every soul should be educated to look not to his fellow men, but unto Christ. He is the author and the finisher of our faith. Let no man think it his place to point out to others in a compulsory manner their duty. This God forbids. All are to be guided in the path of duty by the plain Word of God.
“Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life, and they are they that testify of Me.” [John 5:39.] 22LtMs, Lt 172, 1907, par. 11 – 22LtMs, Lt 172, 1907, par. 13

“Instead of war, I choose peace,” he said.

Crowchild said that, in addition to Trump, he greeted other arriving world leaders and “tried to remind each one of them to try to be a good leader and protect our water for future generations.”

“I spoke for my elders,”

“I spoke for my elders,” Crowchild said, noting that he spoke of promoting peace and “protecting water for future generations” and tried to “say as much as I could, as wisely as I could, while representing with honor and dignity. Whether he listened or not, time will tell.”

He said that, ultimately, the U.S. president is “just another person.”

And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?Acts 8 : 34, If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.John 15 : 24 

“Some would say he’s a horrible person, and we all know many reasons,” Crowchild said. “I stood taller than him as proud Tsuut’ina Isgiya.”

‘Flying Angels Banned_No Fly Zone’ : Trump’s ‘Golden Dome’ missile shield could cost hundreds of billions

• A British Airways flight to India turned back midair after a suspected flap failure.
• The 787-8 circled for an hour to dump fuel before landing safely at London’s Heathrow Airport.
• British Airways said it wasn’t an emergency and called the return a “standard precaution.”

A British Airways flight to India dumped fuel and returned to London on Sunday after the pilots reported a suspected technical issue.

The name “London” primarily means “from the great river“. It originates from the Roman settlement called Londinium, which was situated on the River Thames. While the exact etymology is debated, one theory suggests it derives from a pre-Celtic name for the lower Thames, possibly meaning “boat river” or “swim river“. Another theory connects it to the Celtic word dun, meaning an elevated and defensible spot.

The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?Obadiah 1 : 3, How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.Revelation 18 : 7 

Silence “in heaven” about the space of half an hour ⏳

Flight BA35 had departed from London’s Heathrow Airport at 1:15 p.m., more than 30 minutes behind schedule, en route to Chennai, India, with 214 passengers on board.

And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.Revelation 8 : 1

However, shortly after takeoff, the pilots noticed a problem with the aircraft’s wing flaps and decided to turn the plane around as a precaution.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!Matthew 23 : 37

But Romanism as a system is no more in harmony with the gospel of Christ now than at any former period in her history. The Protestant churches are in great darkness, or they would discern the signs of the times. The Roman Church is far-reaching in her plans and modes of operation. She is employing every device to extend her influence and increase her power in preparation for a fierce and determined  conflict to regain control of the world, to re-establish persecution, and to undo all that Protestantism has done. Catholicism is gaining ground upon every side.  GC 565.4

The plane involved was a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, a long-haul aircraft with a range of over 7,000 nautical miles.

Data from FlightRadar24 shows the aircraft climbed to about 15,000 feet before entering a series of holding patterns — first over southeast England and then over the English Channel — to dump fuel.

Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.Hosea 12 : 1

After about an hour of looping in the air, the Dreamliner landed safely back at Heathrow Airport at around 1:50 p.m.

Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.Matthew 24 : 44

A British Airways spokesperson told Business Insider: “The aircraft returned to Heathrow as a standard precaution after reports of a technical issue.

The English Reformers, while renouncing the doctrines of Romanism, had retained many of its forms. Thus though the authority and the creed of Rome were rejected, not a few of her customs and ceremonies were incorporated into the worship of the Church of England. It was claimed that these things were not matters of conscience; that though they were not commanded in Scripture, and hence were nonessential, yet not being forbidden, they were not intrinsically evil. Their observance tended to narrow the gulf which separated the reformed churches from Rome, and it was urged that they would promote the acceptance of the Protestant faith by Romanists. GC 289.1

They shall not dwell in the LORD's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.Hosea 9 : 3

“The flight landed safely with crew and customers disembarking as they normally would, and our teams worked hard to get their journeys back on track as soon as possible.”

I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:Acts 11 : 5

This was not an emergency landing.

The spokesperson added that this was not an emergency landing. It is fairly common for planes to return to their home bases in the event of in-flight issues, as it makes arranging new aircraft and onward travel for passengers easier.

While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.Acts 10 : 19, 

A second Air India Dreamliner was also forced to return to Hong Kong on Sunday due to a separate suspected technical issue.

Hong Kong means “Fragrant Harbour” in Cantonese, referring to its natural harbor, Victoria Harbour. The name likely originates from the scent of incense or spices that were once traded or produced in the area. Hong Kong is also a special administrative region of China, known for its bustling city life, financial center, and unique blend of cultures./Jericho is known as the “City of Palms” and also as the “City of Fragrance” or “City of Perfume” due to its association with fragrant plants and aromatic oils. The name “Jericho” itself is believed to be derived from the Canaanite word for “fragrant“. The city’s location in a fertile area with abundant vegetation, including balsam groves and date palms, contributed to this reputation. 

[11] As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception. [13] Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.Hosea 9 : 11, 13

Iran Nuclear Sites : Pose Francis “Entire World is at war and in self destruction”

This satellite image provided by Maxar Technologies shows the Natanz nuclear enrichment facility, where multiple buildings were destroyed from recent Israeli airstrikes, 135 miles southeast of Tehran, Iran, Saturday, June 14, 2025. (Maxar Technologies via AP)

ASSOCIATED PRESS :If Two foundations/Witnesses destroyed!

Satellite images analyzed Saturday by The Associated Press revealed some of the damage sustained by Iran’s ballistic missile arsenal and nuclear facilities in the blistering Israeli attack on the country.

And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;Ephesians 2 : 20, For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.1 Corinthians 3 : 11, If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?Psalm 11 : 3,

Twin Institutions /The Two Witnesses Foundations : Damage at Two Missile Bases

Images from Planet Labs PBC taken Friday showed damage at two missile bases, one in Kermanshah and one in Tabriz, both in western Iran.

[7] And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. [8] And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. [9] And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.Revelation 11 : 7-9

At Kermanshah, where the base is up against a mountainside, burns could be seen across a wide area after the attack. In Tabriz, images showed damage at multiple sites on the base.

“And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.” Infidel France had silenced the reproving voice of God’s two witnesses. The word of truth lay dead in her streets, and those who hated the restrictions and requirements of God’s law were jubilant. Men publicly defied the King of heaven.

Solar Eclipse / The Gospel is the Power of God : Supply Power to the Facility

At the Natanz nuclear enrichment facility, southwest of Tehran, the images show multiple buildings either damaged or destroyed, including structures experts say supply power to the facility. The Natanz images were taken on Friday and Saturday by Maxar Technologies.

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.1 Corinthians 1 : 18

Enriched Uranium to 60% Purity!

Natanz’s enrichment plant — where Iran enriched uranium to 60% purity, a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels of 90% — was also destroyed.

A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.Matthew 12 : 35

That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;1 Corinthians 1 : 5, Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.Hebrews 11 : 26, In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.Colossians 2 : 3, But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.2 Corinthians 4 : 7, Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
Matthew 13 : 52

All the Natanz facilities damaged in the strikes are above ground and it doesn’t appear from the images that underground enrichment halls had any apparent damage.

Iran has not acknowledged the damage, though it reported on Israeli strikes in the area.

“…….. You didn’t come to fit in, you came to take over. You came to move in your Kingdom calling,”

Lauren Costantino

Fri, June 6, 2025 at 12:30 PM GMT+37 min read

President Donald Trump’s top spiritual advisor visited a southwest Miami-Dade County megachurch to outline a vision of a Christian-dominated world and urge believers, particularly Evangelicals, to help make it a reality.

In a two-hour sermon on Thursday, Florida Pastor Paula White-Cain — a prominent televangelist and senior advisor to Trump in the newly established White House Faith Office — told a packed church at King Jesus Ministry, one of the largest megachurches in South Florida, that she was not merely preaching but prophesying.

“Can one person make a difference? You didn’t come to fit in, you came to take over. You came to move in your Kingdom calling,” she said. “That threatens people who don’t understand the word of God because their language, their understanding is not like yours.”

The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?Daniel 4 : 30

God using ordinary people to spread the Gospel, save lost “souls,” and achieve Christian ‘dominion’

Blending Biblical scripture and personal stories, White-Cain spoke about God using ordinary people to spread the Gospel, save lost “souls,” and achieve Christian ‘dominion’ by transforming society.

As the Protestant churches reject the clear, Scriptural arguments in defense of God’s law, they will long to silence those whose faith they cannot overthrow by the Bible. Though they blind their own eyes to the fact, they are now adopting a course which will lead to the persecution of those who conscientiously refuse to do what the rest of the Christian world are doing, and acknowledge the claims of the papal sabbath.
The dignitaries of church and state will unite to bribe, persuade, or compel all classes to honor the Sunday. The lack of divine authority will be supplied by oppressive enactments. Political corruption is destroying love of justice and regard for truth; and even in free America, rulers and legislators, in order to secure public favor, will yield to the popular demand for a law enforcing Sunday observance. Liberty of conscience, which has cost so great a sacrifice, will no longer be respected. In the soon-coming conflict we shall see exemplified the prophet’s words: “The dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” Revelation 12:17. GC 592.2 – GC 592.3

“God wants to use you to reposition society, your community, this nation, the world,” White-Cain said. “Get ready because you’re going to reap the greatest harvest mankind has ever known.”

A translator echoed her every word in real time for the mostly Spanish-speaking audience sprinkled with visitors from South and Central America. Apostle Guillermo Maldonado, the church’s founder, has a large international following, including many congregants with strongly conservative political and social values. Nationally, evangelical congregations ranked among the Republican president’s most enthusiastic supporters — voting clout that has made White-Cain a powerful political influence in the White House.

White-Cain appeared at King Jesus for a three-day spiritual conference called the “Supernatural School of the Spirit,” where she headlined a string of local and visiting Christian leaders who preached, performed supernatural healings, and instructed crowds of followers and local pastors about how to “walk in the supernatural” — a term used in some Christian circles referring to direct encounters with God and the Holy Spirit.

No way you can have an encounter with God and not care about the lost

“Evangelism is the responsibility of every single christian. As a believer you cannot choose to ignore it. No way you can have an encounter with God and not care about the lost,” said White-Cain during a session that was aired live on the church’s Facebook page.

“Pope calls for modern prophets!” Leaders — like White-Cain and Maldonado — are apostles or prophets.

White-Cain — who is based in Apopka and married to Jonathan Cain, who played guitar and keyboard for the band Journey and is now part of the Christian music scene — is aligned with a movement of Christianity religious scholars call “Independent Charismatic Christians,” a part of the New Apostolic Reformation. It blends Pentecostal practices with modern-day Evangelicalism, and its followers believe some leaders — like White-Cain and Maldonado — are apostles or prophets.

Communism_ achieving ‘dominion’ over the world (economy) and society (Social)

The idea of achieving ‘dominion’ over the world and society is not uncommon in charismatic Christian theology, according to religious scholar Matthew Taylor, who studies Christian Nationalism.

A Texas man was mowing his property when a swarm of bees attacked. He died soon after.

God must intend for human beings today to be active partners in ruling over the earth! __present-day mandate

“It holds that because God gave human beings “dominion” over creation (Gen. 1:28), God must intend for human beings today to be active partners in ruling over the earth,” writes Taylor in his book “The Violent Take it By Force.” Many charismatics, he writes, “came to understand this as a present-day mandate to take over human societies so as to govern them according to God’s reign.”

And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.1 Kings 21 : 7

Preaching about God’s dominion and transforming American values and culture!

White-Cain, a longtime supporter of Trump, has been credited for her skill at bringing views long considered extreme into the mainstream of conservative Christianity. Her Miami appearance echoed many familiar themes, preaching about God’s dominion and transforming American values and culture.

Bring “the heart of God” into herding humanity

“We’re responsible to create culture. And that culture is a kingdom culture where you bring the heart of God into herding humanity,” White-Cain said during her sermon in Miami.

Humble beginnings to the White House

And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.Luke 2 : 52

White-Cain’s personal story moved some in the church to tears as she shared tales of her tumultuous childhood and unlikely path to ministry. White, who grew up in Mississippi but eventually landed in Florida, emphasized that she didn’t attend church until she was 18 years old and that she never imagined that she’d make it out of her abusive situation let alone into the White House.

The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.Isaiah 13 : 4

White-Cain chaotic childhood!

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.2 Corinthians 4 : 5

White-Cain has often spoken about her chaotic childhood — her father who had a gambling and drinking problem, died by suicide when she was just five-years-old, she says. In the fallout of her father’s death, her mother struggled with alcoholism and before the age of thirteen, she endured years of sexual and physical abuse from babysitters and neighbors, according to a chapter on White-Cain in Taylor’s book.

Journey from the trailer park as an 18-year-old single mother to preaching on television!

In her Miami sermon, White-Cain talked about her journey from the trailer park as an 18-year-old single mother to preaching on television and ultimately, serving as a close spiritual advisor to President Trump.

“My story has nothing but brokenness, has nothing but ashes, but a great God can take what everyone else will give up on and say look what I can do,” she said.

Popular revivals are too often carried by appeals to the imagination, by exciting the emotions, by gratifying the love for what is new and startling. Converts thus gained have little desire to listen to Bible truth, little interest in the testimony of prophets and apostles. Unless a religious service has something of a sensational character, it has no attractions for them. A message which appeals to unimpassioned reason awakens no response. The plain warnings of God’s word, relating directly to their eternal interests, are unheeded. GC 463.2

Take out a checkbook or wallet, “financial abundance” and preparing for a “great harvest,”!

White-Cain also spoke at length about “financial abundance” and preparing for a “great harvest,” connecting the idea of giving financially to a spiritual revival.

“Fishing with Pope Francis”

A key part of her message: in order to reap the rewards and feel God’s glory, believers must first plant the seed and make a covenant with God. It was an appeal echoed in almost every church on Sunday to take out a checkbook or wallet but she urged congregants to dig deep.

Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.Luke 5 : 4

Soul Searching, Prayer and Giving, What comes first?!

“God’s giving me revelation right now. Remember, glory only came when there was extravagant giving,” White-Cain said as QR codes flashed on the screens of the worship center, prompting people on how to donate.

[30] By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. [31] And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness. [32] And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.Acts 4 : 30-32

“Stop holding yourselves back … Let God touch your heart for the harvest … Watch God extravagantly bless you … What you sow you grow. Obedience opens overflow. This is not historic. This is prophetic. God is getting ready to increase you.”

Revivals brought deep heart-searching and humility. They were characterized by solemn, earnest appeals to the sinner, by yearning compassion for the purchase of the blood of Christ. Men and women prayed and wrestled with God for the salvation of souls. The fruits of such revivals were seen in souls who shrank not at self-denial and sacrifice, but rejoiced that they were counted worthy to suffer reproach and trial for the sake of Christ. Men beheld a transformation in the lives of those who had professed the name of Jesus. The community was benefited by their influence. They gathered with Christ, and sowed to the Spirit, to reap life everlasting. GC 462.1

White-Cain said she was moved to plant her own seed at King Jesus Ministries, pledging $12,000. She fetched her checkbook and wrote the donation live in front of thousands watching in person and at home.

But where, in the popular churches of today, is the spirit of consecration to God? The converts do not renounce their pride and love of the world. They are no more willing to deny self, to take up the cross, and follow the meek and lowly Jesus, than before their conversion. Religion has become the sport of infidels and skeptics because so many who bear its name are ignorant of its principles. The power of godliness has well-nigh departed from many of the churches. Picnics, church theatricals,  church fairs, fine houses, personal display, have banished thoughts of God. Lands and goods and worldly occupations engross the mind, and things of eternal interest receive hardly a passing notice. GC 463.3

A viral prayer for Trump

White-Cain didn’t discuss specific issues like the administration’s controversial crackdown on immigrants, many of them Hispanic. But she mentioned Trump a few times in her sermon on Thursday, telling the audience that her work was bigger than politics.

But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee?1 Kings 22 : 24

“This is not about Democrat or Republican or Independent. This is a moment that God opened up to be harvested,” she said.

White-Cain said she has been close friends with the president for over 24 years. The relationship started when Trump called her one day out of the blue, she said, after he saw her preaching on TV and told her she had the “it” factor.

But, even before Trump called her, she said she had been praying for the president, and that she had added him to a list of ten people that she wanted the Lord to “save.”

“When President Trump got back in, I knew that it was for America, but the Lord spoke to me and said it was for the nations,” White-Cain told the crowd. “And the Lord has divinely aligned his people. That’s you.”

The Spirit and power of God will be poured out upon His children. At that time many will separate themselves from those churches in which the love of this world has supplanted love for God and His word. Many, both of ministers and people, will gladly accept those great truths which God has caused to be proclaimed at this time to prepare a people for the Lord’s second coming. The enemy of souls desires to hinder this work; and before the time for such a movement shall come, he will endeavor to prevent it by introducing a counterfeit. In those churches which he can bring under his deceptive power he will make it appear that God’s special blessing is poured out; there will be manifest what is thought to be great religious interest. Multitudes will exult that God is working marvelously for them, when the work is that of another spirit. Under a religious guise, Satan will seek to extend his influence over the Christian world.

In 2020, she first gained broad national fame when one of her sermons at her church in Tampa went viral online. In it, she prayed forcefully, imploring God to give victory to Trump just one day after the presidential election was called for Joe Biden.

During the prayers in the now-viral video, White was speaking in tongues, a practice that is commonly used by charismatic Christians who evoke ecstatic sounds that believers find to be a heavenly language.

“For every enemy that is aligned against you, let there be that we would strike the ground, for you will give us victory, God…. I hear a sound of victory. The Lord says, ‘It is done,’” she said in that sermon.“We break and divide every demonic confederacy against the election, against America, against who you [God] have declared to be in the White House.”

In many of the revivals which have occurred during the last half century, the same influences have been at work, to a greater or less degree, that will be manifest in the more extensive movements of the future. There is an emotional excitement, a mingling of the true with the false, that is well adapted to mislead. Yet none need be deceived. In the light of God’s word it is not difficult to determine the nature of these movements. Wherever men neglect the testimony of the Bible, turning away from those plain, soul-testing truths which require self-denial and renunciation of the world, there we may be sure that God’s blessing is not bestowed.  And by the rule which Christ Himself has given, “Ye shall know them by their fruits” (Matthew 7:16), it is evident that these movements are not the work of the Spirit of God. GC 464.2

Her stance also drew criticism. As clips of White’s intonations spread across the internet, people mocked the Florida pastor — arguing that Trump’s Christian base was appearing more extreme, more unhinged by the day.

DIPLOMATIC AFFAIRS: A new Israel – and US-backed – aid model bypasses Hamas and delivers food directly to Gazans, shifting dynamics on the ground and triggering strong criticism abroad.

The images emerging from Gaza this week were both familiar and unprecedented.

Familiar, in that they showed thousands of desperate Palestinians lining up for food. Unprecedented, in that those crowds weren’t swarming UNRWA trucks or local aid convoys but distribution centers run by a little-known Swiss-based NGO operating with quiet Israeli and American support.

The laborers will be qualified rather by the unction of His Spirit than by the training of literary institutions. Men of faith and prayer will be constrained to go forth with holy zeal, declaring the words which God gives them. The sins of Babylon will be laid open. The fearful results of enforcing the observances of the church by civil authority, the inroads of spiritualism, the stealthy but rapid progress of the papal power—all will be unmasked. By these solemn warnings the people will be stirred. Thousands upon thousands will listen who have never heard words like these. In amazement they  hear the testimony that Babylon is the church, fallen because of her errors and sins, because of her rejection of the truth sent to her from heaven. As the people go to their former teachers with the eager inquiry, Are these things so? the ministers present fables, prophesy smooth things, to soothe their fears and quiet the awakened conscience. But since many refuse to be satisfied with the mere authority of men and demand a plain “Thus saith the Lord,” the popular ministry, like the Pharisees of old, filled with anger as their authority is questioned, will denounce the message as of Satan and stir up the sin-loving multitudes to revile and persecute those who proclaim it GC 606.2

The new system in the international community, it’s a troubling shift!

Christian leaders pray for President Trump in Oval Office, Stirring Him in Judeo-Christian “Idol Sabbath For Family” System!

What initially unfolded on Tuesday was chaotic.

There were delays, rumors, threats, and even violence. But also, something new and promising: Gazans bypassing Hamas’s orders to accept food from a group unaffiliated with it.

Shall I crucify your King?: Gaza’s uprising against Hamas is a ‘stunning turning point’ nobody can ignore

For many in Israel, this is a long-overdue correction – perhaps even a game changer. For critics of the new system in the international community, it’s a troubling shift in how humanitarian assistance is delivered.

Our people have been regarded as too insignificant to be worthy of notice, but a change will come. The Christian world is now making movements which will necessarily bring commandment-keeping people into prominence. There is a constant supplanting of God’s truth by the theories and false doctrines of human origin. Movements are being set on foot to enslave the consciences of those who would be loyal to God. The lawmaking powers will be against God’s people. Every soul will be tested.  5T 546.2

From this perspective, the new system is a form of disruption – breaking the link between aid and Hamas, undermining its governance, and showing Gazans that there are alternatives.

[5] But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people. [6] And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also; [7] Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.Acts 17 : 5-7

Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.James 5 : 17

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a previously unknown Swiss-registered nonprofit backed by American private contractors and facilitated by Israel, began distributing food directly to Gazans on Tuesday under a new model. As of Thursday, around 14,500 food boxes – each containing basic staples able to feed between five and six people for 3.5 days – had been distributed at two locations, with a third distribution point opened that day.

‘Give them to eat_They know not the time of their visitation’ : A “family digs” through trash for bits of food, showing Gaza’s growing desperation

The real issue at hand is control 🎮 Millions in bondage to sin, slaves of Satan, doomed to suffer the second death, would refuse to listen to the words of truth in their day of visitation. Terrible blindness! strange infatuation!

But the story here is not only about the food staples – though they will undoubtedly alleviate hunger in the enclave. The real issue at hand is control. And Hamas knows it, which is why the terrorist group’s reaction was furious.

The Majesty of Heaven in tears! the Son of the infinite God troubled in spirit, bowed down with anguish! The scene filled all Heaven with wonder. That scene reveals to us the exceeding sinfulness of sin; it shows how hard a task it is, even for infinite power, to save the guilty from the consequences of transgressing the law of God. Jesus, looking down to the last generation, saw the world involved in a deception similar to that which caused the destruction of  Jerusalem. The great sin of the Jews was their rejection of Christ; the great sin of the Christian world would be their rejection of the law of God, the foundation of his government in Heaven and earth. The precepts of Jehovah would be despised and set at naught. Millions in bondage to sin, slaves of Satan, doomed to suffer the second death, would refuse to listen to the words of truth in their day of visitation. Terrible blindness! strange infatuation! GC88 22.2

Hamas warned and threatened people not to participate in the program, circulated false reports that the distribution had been disrupted or suspended, and even set up barriers to make the distribution points in the south – where the IDF has been urging Gazans to move – difficult to access.

All to no avail.

Thousands of Gazans arrived despite the hardships, walking many kilometers to reach the food and trampling Hamas’s barricades to get to the distribution spots. One viral video captured a Gazan father thanking “everyone who helped us – Muslims, infidels, Americans,” while children around him carried the food packages on their shoulders. The message from the ground was unmistakable: Hamas’s monopoly over aid distribution was fraying, and with it, the possibility that its grip on Gazan civilians was also slipping.

Joseph came on, glad and joyful that the object of his long search was accomplished. But, instead of a pleasant greeting, he met only scorn, abuse, and fierceness of looks which terrified him. He was immediately seized, and the coat which had created so much hatred, was stripped from him with the most taunting remarks. He had never before received such treatment and he expected his brethren would immediately kill him. His mind runs back to his home, his father, and the blessing he had received as he parted from him, and then he anticipated the sorrow he would feel at his death and the guilt of his murderers. He entreated them to spare his life, but all to no avail; he was helpless in the hands of infuriated men whose hearts were insensible to pity, and whose ears were deaf to the cry of anguish. But the eye of God was upon him, and Joseph’s cries of distress reached his throne. His brethren thrust him into a dark pit and then sat down to enjoy their customary meal. But while they were eating, they saw a company of Ishmaelites approaching, and Judah, who was beginning to regret what had been done, suggested that here was an opportunity to sell their brother and obtain money, which would be better than leaving him to perish in the pit; for said he, is he not our own flesh? Then, too, Judah thought that he could be disposed of by being removed entirely from them. All agreed to the proposition of Judah; Joseph was drawn up out of the pit, and heartlessly sold as a slave. ST December 18, 1879, par. 13

[5] For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called. [11] O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires. [15] Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.Isaiah 54 : 5, 11, 15

A NEW WORLD ORDER KINGSHIP?

Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat.1 Kings 1 : 1

THE AID distribution began on the 599th day of the war, a war whose goals include – among others – destroying Hamas militarily and ending its governance over Gaza.

Parents need to awake, and purify their souls by practicing the truth in their home life. When we reach the standard that the Lord would have us reach, worldlings will regard Seventh-day Adventists as odd, singular, straight-laced extremists. “We are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.” RH January 9,  1894, par. 10

Though the IDF is well on its way to dismantling Hamas’s military capabilities, the terrorist organization has been able to retain its civilian control. According to Israeli officials, this is largely because it hijacked and then controlled the distribution of the aid that has been allowed into Gaza.

“We prepared for far worse scenarios,” a senior IDF officer told Yediot Aharonot after the initial scenes of unrest on Tuesday. “The barrier of fear has been broken. Hamas is at its lowest point in terms of governance.”

The symbolism was striking: hungry Palestinians trampling Hamas-erected fences to reach Americans – guarded along the perimeter by Israeli soldiers – distributing boxes of food.

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.Psalm 2 : 12

‘Our Refuge and Damascus Tower’ : Tornadoes Just Wrecked Multiple States. Where Are Trump and FEMA?

Israeli officials are framing the new distribution model as both a humanitarian necessity and a strategic tool. In a speech on Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Hamas looted the aid that flowed into Gaza before Israel blocked it on March 2.

[34] Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space; [35] And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.Acts 5 : 34-35

Under William of Orange, the Revolution at last brought to Holland freedom to worship God.

“They [Hamas] took a good chunk for themselves, and the remainder they sold to the civilian population at exorbitant prices,” he said. “And thereby, they funded new recruits because we were able to kill a lot of terrorists. They have to replenish their war machine, their terrorist machine, their terrorist army. So they used the aid to continue the war. And we said, that has to stop.”

As in the days when paganism sought to destroy the gospel, “the blood of the Christians was seed.” Persecution served to increase the number of witnesses for the truth. Year after year the monarch, stung to madness by the unconquerable determination of the people, urged on his cruel work; but in vain. Under the noble William of Orange, the Revolution at last brought to Holland freedom to worship God. GC88 240.3

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar echoed that sentiment, recently stating that aid “must go directly to the people,” and “Hamas must not be allowed to get their hands on it.”

My husband was very anxious to see his brethren at Battle Creek and speak to them and rejoice with them in the work which God was doing for him. I gathered up my writings, and we started on our journey. On the way we held two meetings in Orange and had evidence that the church was profited and encouraged. We were ourselves refreshed by the Spirit of the Lord. That night I dreamed that I was in Battle Creek looking out from the side glass at the door and saw a company marching up to the house, two and two. They looked stern and determined. I knew them well and turned to open the parlor door to receive them, but thought I would look again. The scene was changed. The company now presented the appearance of a Catholic procession. One bore in his hand a cross, another a reed. And as they approached, the one carrying a reed made a circle around the house, saying three times: “This house is proscribed. The goods must be confiscated. They have spoken against our holy order.” Terror seized me, and I ran through the house, out of the north door, and found myself in the midst of a company, some of whom I knew, but I dared not speak a word to them for fear of being betrayed. I tried to seek a retired spot where I might weep and pray without meeting eager, inquisitive eyes wherever I turned. I repeated frequently: “If I could only understand this! If they will tell me what I have said or what I have done!” 1T 577.2

‘To Set Captives Free’ : Hamas says it is ready to release all remaining hostages for an end to Gaza enmity

We are trying to sever the ties between Hamas and food distribution….!

As former National Security Council head Yaakov Amidror put it in a Galei Yisrael radio interview: “We are trying to sever the ties between Hamas and food distribution…. If we succeed in doing that, it will be a very, very big achievement on the way to building an alternative to Hamas on ‘the day after.’”

[18] Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. [19] Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: [20] For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. [21] Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.James 1 : 18-21

But not everyone sees this as a solution. Critics argue that what is happening is not just a logistical shift but a fundamental reframing of humanitarian aid – with all the ethical and legal questions that entails.

A day before the plan went into effect, Jake Wood, the former US Marine who founded GHF, resigned, stating that the group could not function under the humanitarian principles of neutrality, independence, and impartiality. His resignation fueled criticism from the UN and major international aid organizations, which argued that placing the distribution of aid under the de facto control of Israel undermines decades of humanitarian norms not to put the aid in the hands of one of the warring parties.

Predictably, this new model sparked an uproar among international organizations. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the arrangement, saying it violates humanitarian principles. The UN and many of its donor countries – including Canada, Australia, the UK, and most of Europe – claimed this is politicized aid designed not to help civilians but to advance Israeli war aims.

As the controversy extends into new fields and the minds of the people are called to God’s downtrodden law, Satan is astir. The power attending the message will only madden those who oppose it. The clergy will put forth almost superhuman efforts to shut away the light lest it should shine upon their flocks. By every means at their command they will endeavor to suppress the discussion of these vital questions. The church appeals to the strong arm of civil power, and, in this work, papists and Protestants unite. As the movement for Sunday enforcement becomes more bold and decided, the law will be invoked against commandment keepers. They will be threatened with fines and imprisonment, and some will be offered positions of influence, and other rewards and advantages, as inducements to renounce their faith. But their steadfast answer is: “Show us from the word of God our error”—the same plea that was made by Luther under similar circumstances. Those who are arraigned before the courts make a strong vindication of the truth, and some who hear them are led to take their stand to keep all the commandments of God. Thus light will be brought before thousands who otherwise would know nothing of these truths.

UN chief Antonio Guterres human rights Globally are being “suffocated” : 7,000 killed since January in fighting in DRC, prime minister says

That’s rich.

For years, the world was content to look the other way as Hamas turned humanitarian assistance into a tool of repression. While UN agencies and NGOs handed over aid with little oversight, Hamas hijacked it – taxing, reselling, diverting, and using the proceeds to recruit fighters, dig tunnels, and fund its war machine.

This modus operandi continued throughout the war, and there was no uproar in the humanitarian aid community about how this was a “weaponization of assistance.” But now that Israel and the US are attempting to bypass Hamas and deliver food directly to families – through secured, monitored, militarily protected centers – that’s suddenly beyond the pale?

Amidror said that while international organizations, such as UNRWA, were distributing aid, “it was connected to Hamas. Hamas decided what they will and will not do. They took tax from the population and controlled the distribution.” By taking it away, Hamas is weakened substantially.

Or, as Netanyahu said this week, “It leaves the fish without the water.”

The logic runs like this: Hamas is weaker than ever. Militarily, the IDF continues to dismantle its capabilities. Politically, the loss of control over aid distribution hits at the heart of Hamas’s remaining claim to authority. Every family that receives food without Hamas’s blessing is a small act of rebellion. And every day the new model continues is one more crack in the wall of Hamas control.

But their steadfast answer is: “Show us from the word of God our error”—the same plea that was made by Luther under similar circumstances. Those who are arraigned before the courts make a strong vindication of the truth, and some who hear them are led to take their stand to keep all the commandments of God. Thus light will be brought before thousands who otherwise would know nothing of these truths.

The real test : This effort must not be halted

Still, few in the IDF or the political echelon are declaring victory just yet. “The real test is determination and persistence,” Yediot quoted defense officials as saying. “This effort must not be halted. It is no less strategic than the military campaign.”

The new model is still in its infancy. GHF plans to expand operations to four hubs, with the goal of delivering up to 300 million meals within 90 days. But security concerns remain. The organization’s leadership is in flux. And the international pressure is only growing.

He designs by this means to awaken a decided interest in that question which is a decided test for the last days. This will open the way for the third angel’s message to be proclaimed with power.

The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.Psalm 68 : 11, If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.John 8 : 36

Moreover, this is Gaza, and Hamas is fighting for survival, so what works one day can unravel the next.

But the very fact that tens of thousands of Gazans defied Hamas to obtain food, that Israel was able to help facilitate this without losing control, and that the first distribution didn’t end in total collapse – these are developments that are not only worth noting but also promising.

Still, while Israel and the US see this as a targeted, tactical move designed to serve both humanitarian and strategic goals, much of the world views it as a dangerous precedent. Aid organizations worry that the new model may exclude those unable to travel, punish those in areas outside the “sterile zone” where the aid is distributed, and embed military aims within a humanitarian infrastructure.

Some academics have gone even further. Thea Hilhorst, a professor of humanitarian studies at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, told the German broadcaster Deutsche Welle that the new approach was tantamount to “the instrumentalization of aid for war purposes” and warned it could amount to “ethnic cleansing.”and

‘The Lion Beast and Swarm of Bees Trouble Me’ : Macron urges Asia, Europe to unite to resist ‘spheres of coercion’

Other international critics see it as using aid as a lever of coercion, not compassion.

The UN’s emergency relief coordinator, Tom Fletcher, told the UN Security Council on May 13 that this tactic appeared to prioritize “placing the objective of depopulating Gaza over the lives of civilians.”

But Fletcher’s assessments are suspect. On May 20, he told the BBC that about 14,000 babies would die in Gaza in two days if aid did not flow – an inflammatory and baseless accusation that undermines his, and his agency’s, credibility.

Israel argues that there is no choice but to set up this alternative method of distribution, and that it cannot simply return to a situation where aid is looted and sold on the black market to fund salaries for more Hamas recruits.

The new distribution method – backed, funded, and protected by Israel and the US – is designed to break that cycle.

If it succeeds, it will do more than just feed people. It will chip away at Hamas’s claim to authority. It will empower Gazans to look elsewhere for leadership. And it will help answer the question Israel has been grappling with for 600 days: How do you defeat not just Hamas’s army but also its grip on society?

[20] And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. [21] His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. Matthew 25 : 20-21

In China’s vast network of smaller cities—often categorized as “lower-tier” or “third- and fourth-tier” markets—consumer spending is showing surprising resilience. (Qilai Shen/BloombergBloomberg)

After years of sluggish growth in China’s property market, many investors have grown cautious about the country’s broader consumption story. Yet beyond the megacities of Beijing and Shanghai, a different narrative is emerging—one that could offer fresh opportunities for long-term investors.

[26] His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: [27] Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. [28] Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.Matthew 25 : 26-28

In China’s vast network of smaller cities—often categorized as “lower-tier” or “third- and fourth-tier” markets—consumer spending is showing surprising resilience. From personal care and budget cosmetics to domestic travel and local e-commerce, everyday consumption appears to be holding up far better than national headlines suggest.

And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.Genesis 47 : 21

And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.Matthew 2 : 15

[1] When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt. [2] As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images. [3] I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them. [4] I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them. [5] He shall not return into the land of Egypt, and the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return. [6] And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels. [7] And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.Hosea 11 : 1-7

All classes flocked to the Adventist meetings. Rich and poor, high and low, were, from various causes, anxious to hear for themselves the doctrine of the second advent. The Lord held the spirit of opposition in check while His servants explained the reasons of their faith. Sometimes the instrument was feeble; but the Spirit of God gave power to His truth. The presence of holy angels was felt in these assemblies, and many were daily added to the believers. As the evidences of Christ’s soon coming were repeated, vast crowds listened in breathless silence to the solemn words. Heaven and earth seemed to approach each other. The power of God was felt upon old and young and middle-aged. Men sought their homes with praises upon their lips, and the glad sound rang out upon the still night air. None who attended those meetings can ever forget those scenes of deepest interest. GC 369.3

This divergence matters because China’s economic future increasingly hinges on the spending power of its “new middle class” living outside the country’s wealthiest urban cores. While property prices in these regions have been under pressure—dragging on local government revenue and household wealth—residents in smaller cities are still spending on products and services that improve their quality of life.

I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.Revelation 2 : 9

Official data offers some evidence. In the first half of 2024, per capita disposable income in China’s third- and fourth-tier cities grew by nearly 5.8%, outpacing the 4.8% growth seen in first- and second-tier cities. Retail sales in these markets have also held up better in categories like food and daily necessities, reflecting consistent demand for affordable, everyday products.

And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it.2 Kings 7 : 8

Hu Ling, a partner and managing director at AlixPartners, was quoted in Chinese media as saying, “China’s consumption market is gradually transitioning from being primarily driven by top-tier cities to a model of dual-engine growth.”

Fashion Is a Tyrannical Ruler—Fashion rules the world; and she is a tyrannical mistress, often compelling her devotees to submit to the greatest inconvenience and discomfort. Fashion taxes without reason and collects without mercy. She has a fascinating power and stands ready to criticize and ridicule all who do not follow in her wake.1
The rich are ambitious to outdo one another in conforming to her ever-varying styles; the middle and poorer classes strive to approach the standard set by those supposed to be above them. Where means or strength is limited, and the ambition for gentility is great, the burden becomes almost insupportable. With many it matters not how becoming, or even beautiful, a garment may be, let the fashions change, and it must be remade or cast aside. CG 432.1 – CG 432.2

Consumers in smaller cities often face lower living costs and less financial pressure. That economic stability, paired with rising lifestyle expectations, has helped support spending in categories such as personal care, dining out, and domestic travel—even in the face of broader economic uncertainty.

And they went after them unto Jordan: and, lo, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king.2 Kings 7 : 15

Budget-friendly domestic brands!

Budget-friendly domestic brands like Perfect Diary, Florasis, and HomeFacialPro have been gaining traction among younger consumers seeking quality without the premium price tags of international labels. Local tourism operators have also noted an uptick in short-distance travel bookings, especially among middle-class families and retirees eager for affordable leisure.

Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.Isaiah 55 : 1

Jesus placed himself in the great thoroughfares of travel, where his voice was heard by thousands. The precious words that fell from his lips found a lodgment in many hearts, and caused them to search and see if these things were so. It is most difficult in England to reach the higher classes. The barriers are built up high and firm between the wealthy and the workers. Wealth is greatness and power; poverty means little less than slavery. The truth will often find its way to the noblemen by first reaching the middle and poorer classes. This was the case in Paul’s day. The truth found its way into Caesar’s household through one who was held in bonds, and men and women of high rank became disciples of Christ. Some who are servants and ladies’ maids are quietly working to get the truth before those for whom they labor. Thus through servants or relatives the truth will reach the highest as well as the lowest. RH October 6, 1885, par. 11

Seed/Corn 🌽 Business is getting better After The Pandemic

“Business is getting better,” said Lin Meiyi, a travel agent in China’s scenic Yunnan province. “The clientele is more modest financially, I would say, compared to before the pandemic. Many come from towns instead of cities.”

Lower-tier cities are also fueling the rise of value-driven e-commerce. Platforms like Pinduoduo —which built its business around bulk discounts and group-buying models tailored to price-sensitive consumers—have seen notable engagement from rural and small-city users.

In its most recent earnings report, Pinduoduo cited stronger-than-expected growth in categories like agricultural products and household essentials, much of it from outside the urban centers. Its strategy of building logistics infrastructure in smaller cities and rural areas has paid off, allowing it to reach consumers underserved by traditional retail.

Do your best, fathers and mothers, to get out of the cities, out of commercial lines of work that hold you to the cities. Get your children on to the land, and improve it to the best of your ability.

The market has responded:  outperforming most major Chinese tech peers!

The market has responded: Pinduoduo’s U.S.-listed shares are up more than 40% over the past year, outperforming most major Chinese tech peers. Analysts point to its deep reach in price-sensitive regions as a durable competitive edge as national consumption habits adjust.

So they came and called unto the porter of the city: and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they were. 2 Kings 7 : 10

It’s true that the downturn in China’s property sector—especially acute in smaller cities—has dampened overall household wealth. But the link between housing markets and consumption may be more nuanced than previously assumed.

In lower-tier cities, where real estate is more affordable and many homes are fully owned, households are generally less leveraged. That gives consumers greater flexibility to spend on smaller-ticket items, even if they’re holding off on major purchases.

And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?Luke 2 : 49

Out of the cities, is my message. Those who have had the light, but have neglected to follow the instruction that the Lord has given regarding the location of our health institutions and schools, will one day see the folly of clinging to the cities. They will realize how kind the Lord was to point out the right way. SpTB03b 15.3

Confidence among millennials in lower-tier cities is higher than in top-tier cities, with 75% of respondents expressing optimism about the national economy, compared with 65% in major cities, according to its McKinsey’s 2024 China Consumer Report, which attributes this optimism in part to lower cost-of-living pressures and more stable local job markets.

The implication for investors is clear: China’s consumption recovery may be slower and more uneven than in past cycles, but it is still happening—just not always where the spotlight is.

The most promising consumer activity may be taking place far from Beijing’s luxury malls, in small cities with fewer headlines but plenty of untapped spending power.

Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's household.2 Kings 7 : 9

“Consumers and business people from smaller cities and towns are importing ideas from developed regions,” said Kane Hu, chief analyst at Peak Investment, a boutique brokerage in the western city of Chengdu, with roughly 80 clients and around 100 million yuan ($15 million) in assets.

Opportunity for Companies with strong regional presence, competitive pricing, and scalable operations

That creates opportunity for companies with strong regional presence, competitive pricing, and scalable operations. Domestic brands that can meet demand for affordable quality across a broad geographic footprint may be better positioned than premium brands concentrated in major metros.

The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.Psalm 68 : 11

For global investors, the takeaway isn’t to abandon China’s consumption story—but to look closer at where growth is really happening. The most promising consumer activity may be taking place far from Beijing’s luxury malls, in small cities with fewer headlines but plenty of untapped spending power.
