“The Germans Have Lost Their Minds” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

A dance performance at the beginning of a Good Friday Service of the German Protestant Church which was broadcast on public television and which resembled demonic possession and an exorcism; an increasing desire to become a military power and to reinstate compulsory military service… what is going on in Germany? Have Germans “literally gone mad”?

“Die Deutschen haben den Verstand verloren,” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This program covers the same subject as described above.

“Two Mule Loads of Earth,” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Paul Niehoff, is now posted. Here is a summary:

It is easy to be so familiar with a particular Scripture, that details apart from the main point can easily be overlooked. These details can also be informative of how God operates.

“Solar Eclipse and the Coming of Christ—Comments on News and Prophecy, April 6, 2024,” last Sabbath’s first message, presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

After an unusual earthquake with a magnitude of 4.8, striking New York City, and the coming solar eclipse on 4-8, theories emerged, linking these two events with God’s wrath and the coming of Jesus Christ. Is there a connection, and what did Jesus Himself tell us about His Second Coming?

“Women and the Ministry,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Brian Gale, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The message of Scripture is unambiguous: Christian women are not to teach Biblical or spiritual matters in church or in a public forum.   It may be difficult for some to accept and apply God’s Word on this issue. Sadly, due to the violation of these clear instructions, unhappy or failed marriages have been the result in some cases.

“Satan—the God of this Evil World!” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Man has chosen to disobey and disbelieve the God of the Bible and to follow Satan instead. Misery, pain, suffering and war have been the consequence.

“Europe’s Dark Powers,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:   

Recently, two seemingly unrelated incidents have occurred, but as this program will show, they have a serious connection. We are focusing on a fiery speech by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and statements by Tucker Carlson. Taken together, they are showing an astonishing biblical picture about our past, present and future.

“If You Ever Doubt!” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Brian Gale, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Have we ever doubted God, His calling, our future and any number of other matters concerning the way of life we have been called to?   If we ever doubt, let us answer as Simon Peter did when he said: “Lord, to whom shall we go?”   There is nowhere else to go because God’s Way is the only way forward.

“Has the West Written Off Ukraine?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:  

Many developments indicate indeed that Western governments and politicians— including in the USA and in Germany—have become tired of the war between Russia and Ukraine. They have concluded that the war is lost. And so, further monetary and military help for Ukraine is being critically considered.  There are numerous reasons for this assessment, which we will discuss in this program.

“Hat der Westen die Ukraine abgeschrieben?” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This German program covers the same topic as described above.

“War or Peace–Curse or Blessing?“, last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Man says he wants peace, but he constantly engages and fights in war. He does not know the way of peace. What is the origin of war? Why are we currently hearing so much about the need to produce more and more weapons in order to prepare for war? Why don’t most people understand that war is a curse and that wars will only lead to more wars? Will there ever be peace on earth? If so, what is required? And can true Christians who have come out of this world of war be blessed with peace today?

“And NOW… Fears of Terror Attacks in the USA and the UK,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

We are warned that during the month of Ramadan, starting on March 10, 2024, terrorist attacks on UK soil are likely or highly likely. This warning includes countries such as the USA and Israel as well. In fact, leaders of the major Palestinian terror groups have called for the Muslim world to engage in terror during Ramadan. Security officials tell us that the level of extremist chatter on the Internet is like when the Twin Towers came down in 2001. What does the Bible tell us about end-time terrorist attacks in our countries, and is there any hope that they will ever cease?

“Krieg oder Frieden—Fluch oder Segen?” is the title of this Sabbath’s German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “War or Peace—Curse or Blessing?”

“Europe’s and Germany’s Rise to Military Greatness–Comments on News and Prophecy, March 2, 2024,” last Sabbath’s first message presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

We discuss Europe’s military awakening and the call for an EU army which has been described as “a direct threat” to US security; address Germany’s false concept of “peace through deterrence”; the surprising and unrealized power of the German Chancellor; and the “curse” of German and European conscription. We also speak on strange and perhaps supernatural occurrences in Ukraine.

“The Man of Sin in the Temple of God,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Paul tells us in the second letter to the Thessalonians that Christ will not return until there is a falling away and the man of sin sits in the temple of God, claiming to be God. What is meant by “falling away,” and what is the future of those who fall away? Who is “restraining” the return of Christ, and for how long, and who is the man of sin? Many misunderstand his identity. The Bible also shows us that there will be a literal temple in Jerusalem before Christ’s Second Coming, but why is it being built at all? And why is it called the “temple of God”?

“Did Putin Lose His Mind?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

To answer this question, we are addressing Putin’s plans of invasion and his threats of starting nuclear war with Berlin, Washington and London and of unleashing Armageddon. His irrational conduct has been compared with Hitler, and the similarities are truly remarkable. He has been described by people familiar with him as mentally unstable and emotionally off balance.  What is behind all of this?

“Will Our Government’s Corruption Ever End?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

We are showing you outrageous examples of governmental corruption, from an insightful article by Judge Andrew Napolitano to the ridiculous prosecution of Donald Trump by biased New York attorney general Letitia James and the ridiculous decision by biased Judge Arthur Engoron, accompanied by law professor Jonathan Turley’s legal analysis. We are pointing out, with the words of Judge Napolitano, that “the government enacted a statute that permitted to claim harm where none existed and then steal from a wealthy entity.” In fact, Engoron’s judgment is even far worse than that, but it might badly backfire on New York City. So, then, what IS the only solution for ending the governmental corruption in the USA and this entire rotten world?

“Trump Frightens Europe,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Trump’s recent comments about NATO and delinquent NATO members have led to fear and panic in Europe. Europeans are deeply concerned about a return of Trump. They feel that they need to act quickly if Europe is to survive. What are they planning to do, and will they be successful? How dangerous are their ideas and proposals?

“Biden’s Two Alternatives: Prosecution or Resignation—Comments on News and Prophecy, February 10, 2024,” last Sabbath’s first message presented by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Special Counsel Robert Hur concluded in his report that Biden “willfully retained” highly classified and top secret documents at unsecured locations, but recommended against prosecuting Biden as a jury might not convict him because of his “perceived mental decline,” “confusion,” “diminished faculties” and “poor memory.” Democrats quickly condemned Hur for his “inaccurate, inappropriate and gratuitous comments.” But as this program will show, Hur’s comments were none of the above. Many examples are given which seem to support the concerns of a vast majority of Americans about Biden’s mental health. Which leaves us with two alternatives: If Biden is too senile to stand trial, then he must resign as President. If he is not mentally incompetent and his memory is good, as he claims, then he must be prosecuted. But replacing Biden with another candidate might already be too late and may constitute other serious challenges for the Democratic Party.

”Before It’s Too Late,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is a summary:

As we continue to watch the world descend into chaos, we are admonished that we need to be the opposite – we need to draw closer and closer to God so that we are not sucked into the coming destruction. To do this, we need to make sure we are fully focused on our Christian lives. It will become too late at some point!

“Is Israel’s Destruction Imminent?”  is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

The world is ganging up on Israel. Soon, Israel will end up without any true friends. Plans by Europe and America, including the unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state, make this very clear. Netanyahu does not concede, and his goal and conditions regarding Hamas and the end of the war have been stated very clearly. But is it even conceivable that a war in the Middle East might break out, which could lead to the destruction of the state of Israel?

“Wird Israel bald zerstört werden?” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program, presented by Norbert Link. This program covers the same topic as described above.

“Language Limitation,” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Brian Gale, is now posted. Here is a summary:

One of many ways in which man has been limited is undoubtedly in his use of language. In whatever language, the ability to describe God and everything about Him and all that He has done, is doing and will be doing, is limited by the fact that we are human and our understanding and vocabulary is, therefore, limited. That is going to change in the future when God restores a pure new language to the nations.

“As for Me, I’ll Call on God,” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Michael Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

What do we do in situations where we need help and where we may think that nobody can help us? What can we learn from the examples in the Bible of those who went through exactly that? What did they do and what can we do?
