George: THIS WEEK ON

"CHRISTIAN WORLD NEWS,"

THE EUROPEAN NATION WHERE

CHRISTIANITY IS MAKING A

COMEBACK.

WE'LL TELL YOU WHY NOT

EVERYONE IS THRILLED WITH

THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT.

OUR EXCLUSIVE REPORTS FROM

HUNGARY.

Wendy: PLUS...TERROR

ATTACKS IN SPAIN.

HOW ISIS FIGHTERS ARE

LEAVING IRAQ AND SYRIA AND

BRINGING JIHAD TO EUROPE.

George: AND...THE

UPCOMING SOLAR ECLIPSE HAS

PEOPLE LOOKING TO THE

HEAVENS.

THE BIBLE IS FULL OF

STORIES OF HOW GOD

DARKENED THE SUN TO SEND A

MESSAGE.

*

George: HELLO,

EVERYONE, WELCOME TO THIS

WEEK'S EDITION OF

"CHRISTIAN WORLD NEWS."

I'M GEORGE TAMARA.

WendyGEORGE THOMAS. Wendy: AND I'M WE NDY.

AND WE WANT TO WELCOME OUR

Facebook AUDIENCE, AND

WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU

TO POST YOUR PRAYERS AND

YOUR COMMENTS.

WE'LL BE LOOKING AT THOSE

THROUGHOUT THE SHOW.

George: WELL, IT IS A

NATION THAT HAS

REDISCOVERED ITS CHRISTIAN

ROOTS, CLOSED ITS BORDERS

TO ILLEGAL MIGRANTS, AND

REWRITTEN ITS CONSTITUTION

TO PROTECT THE FAMILY AND

THE UNBORN.

BUT AS DALE HURD REPORTS

FROM BUDAPEST, HUNGARY,

EUROPEAN LEADERS ARE NOT

HAPPY ABOUT THIS NATION'S

RENAISSANCE OF

CHRISTIANITY.

Reporter: IN A TIME

WHEN MOST OF EUROPE IS IN

THE GRIPS OF ATHEISM,

THERE IS A NATION WHERE

CHRISTIANITY SEEMS TO NOT

ONLY BE HOLDING ITS OWN,

BUT SOME SAY A THRIVING.

MATCH DISWRIN GOVERNMENT THAT IS

CHRISTIAN, THAT THINKS

CHRISTIAN VALUES IS WORTH

PROTECTING AND WANTS TO

PROTECT AND EVEN NOURISH

THE FAMILY.

WELCOME TO HUNGARY.

HUNGARY'S CONSTITUTION IS

EXPLICITLY CHRISTIAN, AND

SAYS THAT MARRIAGE IS

BETWEEN ONE MAN AND ONE

WOMAN, AND THAT LIFE

BEGINS AT CONCEPTION.

IT EVEN INCLUDES THE

PHRASE "GOD BLESS THE

HUNGARIANS."

HUNGARY'S FAITH CHURCH

WITH 300 BRANCHES IS ONE

OF THE LARGEST PENT PENTECOSTAL

CHURCHES WITH 70,000

ATTENDERS.

IT HAS EVEN SET UP AN

OFFICE TO HELP PERSECUTED

CHRISTIANS WORLDWIDE.

WHEN CBN NEWS BROUGHT TO

THE WORLD THE STORY'S OF

SWEDEN'S THREAT TO DEPORT

IRANIAN ACTRESS AIDEEN

STRANDSSON BACK TO ISLAMIC

IRAN, ONLY ONE NATION

STEPPED UP AND OFFERED HER

ASYLUM: HUNGARY.

THE HUNGARIAN GOVERNMENT

SAYS TAKING IN PERSECUTED

CHRISTIANS IS OUR MORAL

AND CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY.

HUNGARY WANTS TO

PROTECT THE EUROPEAN

VALUES, THE EUROPEAN

CHRISTIAN AND JEWISH

VALUES.

Reporter: THIS

HUNGARIAN POLICY ANALYST

SAYS HUNGARY HAS ONLY

RETURNED TO ITS ROOTS,

DATING BACK OVER A

THOUSAND YEARS, AND

DESPITE ALMOST 200 YEARS

OF MUSLIM OTTOMAN RULE.

AND AFTER WORLD WAR II'S

SOSOVSOVIET COMMUNISM.

> IT IS THIS BELIEF THAT

HAS HUNGARY LOCKED IN A

BATTLE WITH THE EUROPEAN

UNION OVER MIGRANTS.

MOMR. ORBON HAS ACCUSED THE

E.U. OF TRYING TO ISLAMIZE

EUROPE, AND HUNGARY HAS

INFURIATED BRUSSELS BY

BUILDING A FENCE TO KEEP

ILLEGAL MIGRANTS OUT.

VICTOR ORBON HAS TOLD

BRUSSELS TO ESSENTIALLY

TAKE A HIKE WHEN IT COMES

TOP OPEN BORDERS.

HUNGARY HAS SEEN THE

TERRORISM ANCHAOSAND SAYS, NOT HERE.

MR. ORBON HAS ACCUSED

BRUSSELS OF BLACKMAIL.

SECURING THE BORDERS TO

STOP ILLEGAL MIGRATION IS

INDEED A SOLUTION AND THE

ONLY WAY TO REINSTATE LAW

AND ORDER ON THE BORDERS

OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, AND

NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

Reporter: ORBON SAYS

IT MATTERS THAT MOST OF

THE MIGRANTS ARE MUSLIMS,

AND SAYS WE ARE PAYING A

HEAVY PRICE BY PRETENDING

THAT ISLAM DOESN'T MATTER.

WE'VE BEEN LIVING CLOSE

TO ISLAM FOR CENTURIES IN

THE PAST, AND WE ALL KNOW

ABOUT IT.

THAT'S WHY IT DOES MATTER

WHO COMES IN AND IN WHAT

MANNER THEY COME IN.

Reporter: ORBON IS

OFTEN PORTRAYED IN THE

WESTERN MEDIA AS SORT OF A

VERSION OF VLADIMIR PUTIN,

AN UNDEMOCRATIC MAN.

THE EUROPEAN PRESIDENT

REPORTEDLY GREETED ORBON

WITH THE WORDS, "HELLO,

DICTATOR."

HUNGARY IS CERTAINLY NOT A

DICTATORSHIP, BUT ORBON'S

CRITICS ACCUSE HIM OF

USING THE INSTRUMENTS OF

GOVERNMENT AGAINST HIS

OPPONENTS.

INCLUDING THE RECENT

BILLBOARD CAMPAIGN AGAINST

BILLIONAIRE GEORGE SOROS.

WHAT WE SEE TODAY IN

HUNGARY IS THE SHAMELESS

VIEWS OF USING TAX MONEY.

CONSIDERING THAT THE

HUNGARIAN GOVERNMENT IS

WEAKENING DEMOCRATIC

INSTITUTIONS.

Reporter: BUT ORBON,

A MAN WHO EVEN HIS CRITICS

CONCEDE IS A SKILLED

POLITICIAN DOESN'T HAVE A

SERIOUS POLITICAL RIVAL.

HE WILL PROBABLY REMAIN IN

POWER, MEANING HUNGARY'S

STANDOFF WITH THE EUROPEAN

UNION OVER MIGRANTS IS

LIKELY TO ESCALATE.

BUT IT ALSO MEANS THAT

HUNGARY WILL CONTINUE TO

HAVE A GOVERNMENT THAT

THINKS CHRISTIANITY IS

WORTH PROTECTING.

Wendy: AND DALE HURD

JOINS US NOW FOR MORE.

I ASSUME HUNGARY'S BORDER

FENCE IS MAKING THE

COUNTRY SAFER?

WENDY, NEWS OUTLETS

REPORTED THAT THERE HAS

BEEN ALMOST ONE ATTACK A

WEEK, TERROR ATTACK A WEEK

IN EUROPE THIS YEAR.

GOOGLE TERRORIST ATTACKS

IN HUNGARY.

YOU'LL FIND A NAIL BOMBING

AND IT WASN'T COMMITTED BY

AN ISLAMIC TERRORIST.

THERE IS VIRTUALLY NONE.

NOT ONLY IN HUNGARY, BUT

IN POLAND AND THE CZECH

REPUBLIC.

Wendy: SO FENCES

WORK.

HOW RELIGIOUS ARE THE

HUNGARIAN PEOPLE?

WELL, THAT'S A GOOD

TERM, RELIGIOUS.

THEY'RE VERY RELIGIOUS

COMPARED TO WESTERN

EUROPE.

THE EVANGELICALS ARE NOT

THE MAJORITY.

SO WHAT'S THE PERCENTAGE

OF SAVING FAITH, I DON'T

KNOW.

BUT THE BELIEF IN GOD IS

UPWARDS OF TWO-THIRDS TO

THREE-QUARTERS OF THE

COUNTRY, WHICH IS

EXTRAORDINARY.

Wendy: YOU JUST SPENT

SOME TIME THERE.

WHY DO YOU THINK IT IS SO

CHRISTIAN?

AND DID YOU SEE A THE LOT

OF CHURCHES JUST WALKING

AROUND?

WELL, YEAH.

IT DOESN'T LOOK THAT MUCH

DIFFERENT FROM OTHER

EUROPEAN CAPITALS.

WHY SO CHRISTIAN?

OF COURSE, AS I MENTIONED,

THEY HAVE A RICH HERITAGE.

AND I THINK THE FACT THAT

THEY WERE DOMINATED BY THE

OTTOMAN EMPIRE AND

DOMINATED BY THE SOVIET

UNION, IT GAVE THEM A

HUNGER FOR CREACIALTD THAT

SCHRISTIANITYTHAT SO MANY ANOTHER

NATIONS HAVE TAKEN FOR

GRANTED.

BRITAIN IS OFFICIALLY A

CHRISTIAN NATION.

BUT IT JUST DOESN'T ACT

LIKE IT MOST OF THE TIME.

HUNGARY IS OFFICIALLY

CHRISTIAN AND ACTS LIKE

IT.

Wendy: THE EUROPEAN

UNION VERSUS HUNGARY, WHO

IS GOING TO WIN?

I THINK NEGOTIATIONS

WILL WIN.

LOOK, IF YOU'RE THE

HUNGARIANS, YOU DO NOT

WANT TO GIVE INTO THIS

CRAZY REFUGEE PROGRAM THAT

IS SO DANGEROUS.

ORBON HIMSELF HAS SAID

THAT EVERY REFUGEE FROM AN

ISLAMIC NATION IS A

SECURITY RISK.

IT IS NOT GOING TO HELP

HIM DOMESTICALLY TO CHANGE

HIS POLICY.

Wendy: WE'RE GETTING

BREAKING NEWS ABOUT THE

TERRORIST ATTACK IN

FINLAND.

YOU NEVER HEAR OF A TERROR

ATTACK IN FINLAND.

ARE YOU SURPRISED TO HEAR

THAT?

IN A WAY, I AM.

BUT IT IS COMING HERE AS

WELL.

ROBERT SPENCER SAYS

WHEREVER YOU HAVE MUSLIM

FUNDAMENTALISTS, YOU'RE

GOING TO HAVE TERRORISM.

Wendy: ALL RIGHT.

A DIRE WARNING.

THANKS, DALE.

WE APPRECIATE YOUR

REPORTING.

GEORGE?

George: OKAY, FOLKS.

UP NEXT, ISIS STRIKES

SPAIN, IS IT PART OF A NEW

WAVE OF ATTACKS ON EUROPE?

George: AND WELCOME

BACK TO "CHRISTIAN WORLD

NEWS."

THE TERROR ATTACKS IN

SPAIN MAY HAVE MANY

CONCERNED THAT ISIS

FIGHTERS FLEEING IRAQ AND

SYRIA ARE BRINGING JIHAD

TO EUROPE.

Wendy: THAT'S RIGHT.

TERRORISTS CARRIED OUT

THREE ATTACKS IN THREE

SPANISH CITIES.

ONE ATTACK TOOK THE LIVES

OF AT LEAST 14 PEOPLE.

GARY LANE HAS THE DETAILS.

Reporter: ISLAMIC

TERRORISTS HAVE STRUCK

AGAIN IN THE HEART OF

EUROPE.

NOT IN PARIS, LONDON,

BRUSSELS, OR BERLIN.

THIS TIME TWO VEHICLE

ATTACKS IN SPAIN.

THE TWO ATTACKS CAME

WITHIN HOURS OF ONE

ANOTHER.

THE FIRST ONE LATE

THURSDAY AFTERNOON IN LAS

RAMBLAS, A POPULAR TOURIST

SPOT IN BARCELONA.

I DIDN'T SEE ANY OF THE

BODIES OR ANYTHING OR THE

DRIVER.

I CAUGHT IT OUT OF THE

CORNER OF MY EYE AND HEARD

IT.

Reporter: THE POLICE

ARRESTED TWO MEN.

ONE OF THEM WAS MOROCCAN

DRIDRISS OUKABIR.

THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE

WAS STILL AT LARGE.

A SECOND ATTACK EARLY

FRIDAY MORNING 70 MILES

AWAY IN CABILS.

CACAMBRILS.ALL FIVE WERE WEARING FAKE

SUICIDE VESTS.

AND THEY WERE ALSO

PLANNING SOME KIND OF GAS

ATTACK.

THE C.I.A. REPORTEDLY

INFORMED SPAIN TWO MONTHS

AGO THAT LAS RAMBLAS WAS A

TARGET.

THE WARNING CAME AFTER

JIHADISTS SAID THEY

PLANNED TO SPREAD TERROR

TO POPULAR MEDITERRANEAN

TERRORIST SPOTS.

THE POLICE SAY THE TWO

INCIDENTS MAY HAVE BEEN

LINKED TO AN EXPLOSION IN

ANOTHER SPANISH CITY ON

WEDNESDAY.

SPANISH AUTHORITIES SAY

SOME OF THE INJURED IN THE

BARCELONA ATTACK ARE IN

CRITICAL CONDITION.

SO UNFORTUNATELY THE DEATH

TOLL MAY RISE.

THE ISLAMIC STATE HAS

CLAIMED RESPONSIBILITY FOR

THE BARCELONA ATTACK.

INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM

EXPERTS SAY SOME JIHADISTS

WHO JOINED ISIS HAVE NOW

BEEN CHASED FROM SYRIA AND

IRAQ, AND THEY'RE

RETURNING HOME.

AND THAT MEANS THERE MAY

ARE MORE BARCELONA-STYLE

ATTACKS IN EUROPE AND

ELSEWHERE IN THE DAYS

AHEAD.

GARY LANE, CBN NEWS.

George: THANKS, GARY.

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION

IS TAKING A VERY STRONG

STANCE IN THE FIGHT FOR

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AROUND

THE WORLD.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE

ISSUED A NEW REPORT CARD

THAT GIVES BAD MARKS TO A

NUMBER OF COUNTRIES,

INCLUDING CHINA AND THE

U.S. ALLY SAUDI ARABIA.

ERIC GONZALES BREAKS DOWN

THE LIST.

Reporter: SECRETARY

OF STATE REX TILLERSON

HELD NOTHING BACK WHEN HE

NAMED THE GROUP ISIS AS

ONE OF THE BIGGEST THREATS

TO RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

ACROSS THE GLOBE.

HE SAYS THE GROUP IS

RESPONSIBLE FOR GENOCIDE

AGAINST SHI'A MUSLIMS,

YAZIDIS, AND CHRISTIANS.

THEY CONTINUE TO TARGET

MULTIPLE RELIGION AND

ETHNIC GROUPS FOR RAPE,

KIDNAPPING, ENSLAVEMENT,

AND EVEN DEATH.

Reporter: TILLERSON

SAID THE STATE DEPARTMENT

UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL

CONTINUE TO HELP THOSE

SEEKING TO LIVE THEIR

LIVES ACCORDING TO THEIR

FAITH.

NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO

LIVE IN FEAR, WORSHIP IN

SECRET, OR FACE

DISCRIMINATION BECAUSE OF

HIS OR HER BELIEFS.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO A DAY

WHEN, QUOTE, "PEOPLE OF

ALL FAITHS, CHRISTIANS AND

MUSLIMS, AND JEWISH AND

HINDU CAN FOLLOW THEIR

HEARTS AND WORSHIP

ACCORDING TO THEIR

CONSCIENCE."

Reporter: THE REPORT

LOOKS AT THE STATE OF

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN 199

FOREIGN COUNTRIES AND

DESCRIBES WHAT THE U.S. IS

DOING TO SUPPORT THOSE

RIGHTS.

THERE ARE SEVERAL

COUNTRIES OF PARTICULAR

CONCERN, INCLUDING CHINA,

IRAN, NORTH KOREA, AND

SAUDI ARABIA.

CHINA IS CITED FOR

CONTINUING TO PHYSICALLY

ABUSE AND TORTURE PEOPLE

IN RELIGIOUS MINORITIES.

AND THERE ARE LAWS THAT

DENY THEIR CITIZENS

FREEDOM OF RELIGION.

20 INDIVIDUALS WERE

EXECUTED IN 2016 ON

CHARGES THAT INCLUDED,

QUOTE, "WAGING WAR AGAINST

GOD."

MEMBERS OF THE BAHI

COMMUNITY ARE IN PRISON

TODAY SIMPLY FOR ABIDING

BY THEIR BELIEFS.

Reporter: IN SAUDI

ARABIA, THE GOVERNMENT

DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE

RIGHTS OF NON-MUSLIMS TO

PRACTICE THEIR RO RELIGION.

"OPEN DOORS INTERNATIONAL"

CALLS IT THE MOST

OPPRESSIVE PLACE IN THE

WORLD FOR CHRISTIANS.

THE GOVERNMENT CONTINUES

TO PUNISH THOSE WITH

EXECUTIONS, TORTURE, AND

OTHER ABUSE.

THE STATE DEPARTMENT BEGAN

RELEASING THIS REPORT

SINCE THE INTERNATIONAL

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM ACT WAS

ENACTED IN 1998.

ERIC GONZALES, CBN NEWS,

WASHINGTON.

Wendy: "OPEN DOORS"

IS A MINISTRY TO THE

CHURCH, AND I SPOKE WITH

KRISTIN ABOUT ONE OF THE

MOST DANGEROUS PLACES ON

THE PLANET.

AND THE TRUMP

ADMINISTRATION PROMOTING

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AROUND

THE WORLD.

Wendy: PRESIDENT

TRUMP NOMINATED SAM

BROWNBACK TO BE THE NEXT

AMBASSADOR AT LARGE FOR

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.

KRISTIN, WHY IS THIS GOOD

NEWS?

I WAS SO EXCITED WHEN I

HEARD THIS NEWS BECAUSE WE

NEED CHAMPION.

HE DEMONSTRATES THAT THIS

ADMINISTRATION CARES ABOUT

THE PERSECUTION OF

CHRISTIANS AND OTHER

MINORITIES ENOUGH TO

APPOINT SOMEONE.

THIS IS A ROLE THAT GOES

DIRECTLY TO THE SECRETARY

OF STATE.

HE COULD POTENTIALLY MAKE

A STRONG DIFFERENCE.

GOVERNOR SAM BROWNBACK

DURING HIS SENATE DAYS HAD

QUITE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE

WORKING WITH THE PERS

PERSECUTED CHURCH, SO

WE'RE VERY ENCOURAGED.

HE WAS A CHAMPION OF

INTERNATIONAL FREEDOM FOR

CHRISTIANS.

WE'RE HOPEFUL HE'LL GET

THIS CONFIRMATION AND

HE'LL BE A GREAT CHAMPION

FOR INTERNATIONAL

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.

Wendy: NORTH KOREA IS

IN THE NEWS, AS YOU KNOW.

IT PROVOKES THE WORLD WITH

ITS MISSILE TESTS.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT

THE CHURCH IN NORTH KOREA?

THAT IS A GREAT

QUESTION.

RIGHT NOW NORTH KOREA IS

MAKING THE NEWS.

IT IS ALL OVER THE PLACE.

BUT FOR YEARS AND YEARS,

"OPEN DOORS U.S.A." HAS

RELEASED THE WORLD-WATCH

LIST FOR THE WORST PLACES

IN THE WORLD TO BE A

CHRISTIAN, AND NORTH KOREA

HAS BEEN AT THE TOP OF

THAT LIST FOR YEARS.

THERE ARE REASONS WHY.

AND IT IS SIMPLY BECAUSE

TO BE A CHRISTIAN IN NORTH

KOREA, IT CAN MEAN DEATH.

IT CAN MEAN A LABOR CAMP

SENTENCE.

YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY

CAN BE PUT IN PRISON FOR

LIFE.

IT IS A HORRIBLE PLACE TO

BE A CHRISTIAN.

AT "OPEN DOORS" WE'RE

REALLY ENCOURAGING PRAYER

FOR THE PERSECUTED CHURCH

IN NORTH KOREA.

Wendy: I THINK WE'RE

ALL PRAYING FOR NORTH

KOREA RIGHT NOW.

ABSOLUTELY.

IT IS A GOOD WAKEUP CALL

TO REMEMBER THE CHURCH IN

THAT SITUATION.

Wendy: KRISTIN

WRIGHT, THANK YOU SO MUCH

FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING, YOU

AND YOUR TEAM.

THANK YOU, WENDY.

Wendy: AND KRISTIN

ALSO TOLD US ABOUT THE

PROBLEMS FACING IRAQI

REFUGEES AND HOW "OPEN

DOORS" IS HELPING THEM.

TO SEE THE FULL INTERVIEW,

GO TO cbn.com..

George: COMING UP,

WHEN THE SUN GOES DARK,

GOD IS AT WORK.

HOW THE UP COMING SOLAR

ECLIPSE IS SHINING A LIGHT

ON GOD'S WONDEROUS WAYS.

Wendy: AND WELCOME

BACK TO "CHRISTIAN WORLD

NEWS."

THIS WEEK AMERICANS WILL

VIEW A RARE SIGHT, A SOLAR

ECLIPSE THAT WERE BE SEEN

FROM COAST TO COAST.

MANY WONDER IF IT MIGHT

CONTAIN SOME GREATER

SPIRITUAL MEANING.

Wendy George: WELL, YOU

KNOW, THE BIBLE HAS

REFERENCES SEVERAL TIMES

WHEN THE SUN TOOK CENTER

PLACE IN HISTORY.

CHRIS MITCHELL HAS MORE

FROM THE PLACE WHERE THE

SUN AND MOON STOOD STILL.

Chris: ONE OF 10

PLAGUES, THREE DAYS OF

DARKNESS OVER EGYPT BEFORE

THE EXODUS.

THE JEWISH SOURCES

DESCRIBE IT NOT JUST AS

DARKNESS, BUT A DARKNESS

SO THICK THE EYPTIANS

COULDN'T MOVE IN IT.

THE SUN GOD WAS ONE OF

THE MAJOR GODS -- THE

MAJOR GOD.

SO MY GOD COVERING YOUR

GOD, HE WAS SAYING I'M

BIGGER THAN YOUR GOD.

Chris: MANY BELIEVE

THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE

JOSHUA FOUGHT THE BATTLE

WITH THE FIVE KINGS OF THE

EMIRATES, AND WHERE HE

SAID TO THE LORD, SUN,

STAND STILL OVER INIO GIBION.

WHATEVER THE GARKNESS

WAS, IT WASN'T AN ECLIPSE.

WE HAVE NO EXPLANATION OF

WHAT IT WAS OR WHAT IT

MEANT, BUT IT WAS

SOMETHING MONUMENTAL

HAPPENING, WHICH

DEFINITELY IT WAS.

Chris: GOD MADE

POINTS WITH SIGNS

THROUGHOUT THE BIBLE, BUT

IS HE STILL DOING THE SAME

THING TODAY?

IN ROMANS 1, IT TELLS

US THAT THE HEARTS OF MAN

CAN KNOW THAT GOD EXISTS

JUST BY THE WAY NATURE

WORKS.

SO DOES HE USE NATURE TO

TALK TO HIS PEOPLE?

HE DOES.

IT IS A FUNDAMENTAL

BELIEF IN JUDAISM THAT

EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN

THE WORLD HAS A MEANING.

THERE IS A MESSAGE IN

THERE SOMEWHERE.

BUT INTERPRETING THE

MESSAGE, OF COURSE, IS A

LITTLE MORE PROB BLESK.

PROBLEMATIC.

Chris: STEVEN RIDGE

SAYS GOD ALREADY GAVE HIS

BIGGEST SIGN.

THE BIGGEST WAY GOD

SPEAKS IS THROUGH HIS SON.

INFORMER TIMES, GOD SPOKE

IN VARIOUS WAYS THROUGH

THE PROPHETS, BUT IN THESE

LAST DAYS, HE HAS SPOKEN

THROUGH HIS SON.

JESUS IS THE REVELATION.

JESUS IS THE WORD MADE

FLESH.

JESUS IS THE ULTIMATE

SIGN.

AND SO WE SHOULD BE

LOOKING TO HIM.

Chris: SPIRO SAYS

JUDAISM FOCUSES ON HOW

CURRENT EVENTS CONNECT

WITH PROPHECY, RATHER THAN

THE SIGNS IN THE SKY.

THE RABBI TALKS ABOUT

BECOMING A MESSIAH AS A

WOMAN GIVING BIRTH, WITH

BIRTH PAINS.

AND JUST AS A WOMAN GIVING

BIRTH GOES THROUGH

CONTRACTIONS, AND THEY GET

MORE AND MORE INTENSE AS

YOU APPROACH THE BIRTH,

SO, TOO, WILL EVENTS ON

EARTH HAPPEN MUCH MORE

RAPIDLY.

AND CERTAINLY THINGS ARE

CHANGING QUICKLY.

Chris: ONE OFTEN

QUOTED SCRIPTURE ABOVE THE

SKY COMES FROM THE BOOK OF

JOB.

THE SUN SHALL BE TURNED

INTO DARKNESS, AND THE

MOON INTO BLOOD, BEFORE

THE GREAT AND AWESOME DAY

OF THE LORD.

WE GET THIS PICTURE

FROM THE LORD THAT HE WILL

USE THESE KINDS OF SIGNS

IN THE SKY TO SPEAK TO HIS

PEOPLE, TO SPEAK TO THE

EARTH.

HOW DO WE KNOW WHICH ONE

IS WHICH?

BECAUSE I THINK SOMETIMES

WE WANT TO ATTACH GOD TO

EVERY SINGLE NATURAL EVENT

THAT TAKES PLACE.

I THINK MOST OF THE TIME

GOD JUST WANTS TO KNOW HE

IS IN NATURE AND NOT THAT

HE IS ACTUALLY

COMMUNICATING, WATCH OUT,

SOMETHING IS GETTING READY

TO HAPPEN.

IT COULD BE INTERPRETED

BY ECLIPSES, BY THE WAY.

IT IS CALLED A BLOOD MOON,

WHICH IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN

A MOON ECLIPSE.

WHEN YOU HAVE A SOLAR

ECLIPSE, THE SUN

DISAPPEARS AND TURNS INTO

DARKNESS.

WE TALK ABOUT SIGNS AT THE

END OF THE DAYS.

Chris: ACCORDING TO

JEWISH TEACHING, THE

MESSIAH MUST COME BEFORE

THE YEAR 6,000 ON THE

JEWISH CALENDAR.

WE'RE CURRENTLY AT 5777.

TIME IS DEFINITELY

RUNNING OUT.

AS WE SEE BY LOOKING AT

WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE

WORLD IN A POSITIVE AND

THE NEGATIVE WAY.

THE REBIRTH OF THE STATE

OF ISRAEL, THE

REUNIFICATION OF ISRAEL,

AND WE JUST CELEBRATED THE

50th ANNIVERSARY OF

THAT.

THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD

LINING UP AGAINST ISRAEL

LARGELY.

WHAT YOU SEE GOING ON IN

UNESCO AND THE UNITED

NATIONS, IS CLEARLY A

SIGN.

Chris: SO OTHER THAN

LOOKING THROUGH PROTECTIVE

GLASSES, HOW DO THESE

LEADERS RECOMMEND WE VIEW

THE ECLIPSE?

WE'RE ONLY A FEW

HEADLINES AWAY FROM DIRECT

CONVERGENCE WITH THE

HEADLINES IN THE NEWS

TODAY.

THAT TO ME, AND I THINK TO

MOST JEWS, IS FAR MORE

IMPACTFUL AND SERIOUS IN

TERMS OF WAKING PEOPLE UP

IN THEIR EXPECTATION OF

THEIR REDEMPTION THAN

CELESTIAL SIGNS HAPPENING

UP ABOVE IN THE HEAVENS.

WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO

PREPARE OUR HEARTS AND

CONTINUE TO ASK GOD TO

SHOW US, IS THIS YOU?

ARE YOU SPEAKING TO YOUR

PEOPLE?

ARE YOU SPEAKING TO THE

EARTH.

I BELIEVE HE WILL TELL

MORE THAN ONE PERSON THIS

IS HIM SPEAKING TO THE

WHOLE EARTH.

WE NEED TO FIX OUR EYES

ON JESUS, HOLD FIRM TO THE

SCRIPTURE, AND KEEP

PROCLAIMING THE MYSTERY

AND THE PROFOUND VICTORY

OF THE LIFE, DEATH, AND

RESURRECTION OF JESUS.

Chris: CHRIS

MITCHELL, CBN, THEALON

VALLEY, WHERE THE SUN AND

MOON STOOD STILL.

Wendy: AND YOU CAN

SEE MORE STORIES ABOUT THE

ECLIPSE AND HOW IT ALL

POINTS TO GOD'S GREAT

DESIGN BEHIND THE

UNIVERSE.

WATCH THEM ON OUR WEBSITE,

CBN NEWS DWOMGHT.

WEBSITE, cbnnews.com.

George: AND FINALLY

THIS WEEK, "OPERATION

BLESSING" E IS GIVING

MALNOURISHED CHILDREN IN

PERU THE NUTRITION THEY

NEED.

Wendy: MANY CHILDREN

LIVE IN DIRE POVERTY WITH

FEW RESOURCES.

"OPERATION BLESSING"

STARTED A NUTRITION

PROGRAM AT THE PADRE COCHE

PRE-SCHOOL WHERE MORE THAN

A HUNDRED CHILDREN

RECEIVED VITAMINS,

MINERALS, AND NOURISHING

MEALS.

THEY ARE DEVELOPING

HEALTHY AND HAPPY CHILDREN

WHO ARE READY TO LEARN.

George: FOLKS, THAT

IS IT FOR THIS EDITION OF

"CHRISTIAN WORLD NEWS."

Wendy: FROM ALL OF US

HERE, UNTIL NEXT WEEK,

GOOD-BYE AND GOD BLESS

YOU.
