Days of Noah Redux

"It's a bird! It's a plane! It's...more aliens!" My apologies for revisiting this topic so soon, but a couple of issues came up that I felt warranted a closer look and I decided to go ahead and strike while the iron was hot.

In my last article, I discussed the UFO/alien narrative and how it will impact certain aspects of the end-time scenario. For one thing, I discussed how I wasn't 100 percent convinced that Satan would break out the full monty of his elaborate ruse before the attack of Gog-Magog.

I also discussed was how I wasn't convinced that Satan would immediately wave his UFO/alien narrative around by the tail as an alternative explanation for the Rapture, and that a full-blown, UFO/alien-based explanation for this "evacuation" would come during the Tribulation, when fallen angels posing as aliens show up to supposedly save mankind and our planet.

But I gotta admit being beamed up by aliens in advanced spacecraft would totally rock as a way to be raptured.

Why I Hate Religion

A slick new department store opened a few blocks from where we live in the suburbs of Taipei a few months ago, and I remember the first day my wife and I went over to check it out. It's a medium-sized department store that features the usual range of stores selling clothes, sporting goods, cosmetics and so on, and as is usually the case there is a bookstore located on one floor.

Naturally, I wanted to see if they had much of a selection of books in English. Here in Taiwan, most bookstores have at least some, but it varies widely. And as you might guess, I instinctively check any bookstore to see what they have in the area of religion; but as a Christian living in a Buddhist/Taoist country, I have learned to keep my expectations hovering between zero and low.

But this wasn't just any department store in any city—this was our department store in our city. Our first and only. So, hoping for the best, I struck out through the rows of shelves to see if I could find something worthwhile, and my hopes sprang a bit higher when I spotted the word Religion along one wall.

5/12/2026 — From the "Say It Ain't So" Department...

Heavy sigh... I don't know what it is. Maybe it's the fact that it's finally starting to get through to Trump that Iran will never give in on the nuke issue. Maybe it's his recent setbacks due to his "ungrateful" Supreme Court picks. Maybe he's been going through a cold spell with Melania.

A huge golden statue of Donald Trump was recently unveiled at a ceremony at Trump National Doral golf course in Miami (which is very close to Trump's home at Mar-a-Lago). The statue shows Trump with his fist raised, in a pose reminiscent of his reaction after being wounded in the assassination attempt at Butler, Pennsylvania nearly two years ago.

As you might expect, as soon as people who are even modestly knowledgeable of Scripture see this thing, they are reminded of stories in the Bible of people worshiping the golden calf in Deuteronomy 9, or of people being forced to bow down and worship the giant golden statue that was erected by King Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 3. In other words...

They think of worshiping idols,
which the Bible condemns as sin.

Although Trump's statue is only 15 feet tall (22 if you include the pedestal) and so doesn't quite stack up to Nebuchadnezzar's nearly 90-foot behemoth, many people have been quick to condemn it as blatant, in-your-face idolatry.

But not everyone. The ceremony was led by Pastor Mark Burns, who was equally quick to defend the statue:

"Let me be clear: this is not a golden calf...This statue was not created for worship. It was created as a symbol of resilience, patriotism, courage, and gratitude. It was created to honor a man whom many may disagree with, but millions of Americans believe has done extraordinary things to make this nation stronger."

But in the minds of many, the issue isn't so much whether or not the statue was created to be worshiped—it's whether or not the statue was created to honor a man who feels a deep-seated need to be worshiped.

Personally, it leaves me in another one of those situations where I feel the need to reiterate this: I support President Trump for two reasons and two reasons alone: (a) He loves America and (b) he strongly supports Israel. So I refuse to get my panties in a wad over the rest of it...including the statue thing.

But I admit that when I first saw a picture of this statue, my first instinctive reaction was...

Oh, please...say it ain't so.

earth be blessed.
(Gen. 12:3 AKJV)

That's why.

For God so loved the

Good News!
