Robert Zimmerman. For a time in Christian Evangelical circles. Now emerging as a Pope-whisperer?

BREAKING: Nearly 10,000 Christians have been slaughtered by Islamists across Africa since the start of 2026 alone.
Another 4,000 kidnapped. More than 1,000 churches attacked.
Where is the global outrage?
The city of Dan, predating the patriarch Abraham by centuries, was probably seen by him on his journey to the Promised Land. During the Canaanite era it was known as Laish (Judges 18). I can't believe I've never seen it even though I've been to Dan (with two other Dans - friends of mine). This is a bucket list item now.

Incredible find!
A Jewish person living in Egypt around 475 BCE wrote about Passover on a piece of pottery.
The inscription, written in Imperial Aramaic, is now housed in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. It was discovered on the island of Elephantine in Egypt, home to a Jewish community during the Persian period.
In paraphrase, the letter conveys a message along these lines:
“To Hoshaya. Greetings! Take care of the children until Ahutab arrives. If the flour has already been ground, prepare a small amount of dough until their mother returns. Let me know when you will celebrate Passover, and tell me how the baby is doing.”
Although brief, this inscription contains one of the oldest surviving non-biblical references to the festival of Passover, demonstrating that Jews were celebrating it nearly 2,500 years ago.
Consider the historical context. It was written approximately 700 years after the Exodus from Egypt (according to the traditional biblical chronology), about 110 years after the destruction of the First Temple, and roughly 60 years after the return to Zion from the Babylonian exile.
The Nation of Israel Lives
A cynical slap in the face of America and all who love freedom and western values. An election on the anniversary of September 11, if it happens, is a sick play.
BREAKING:
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas announces that he’s postponing the parliamentary elections which were to take place on November 28th 2026 to September 11 2027.
They were to be first parliamentary elections since Hamas won the elections in 2006.
90-year-old Mahmoud Abbas was elected president in 2005 and hasn’t held any presidential elections since.

Sukkot...originally celebrated the end of the harvest season and offered an opportunity to thank God for the bountiful harvest. The festival begins at sundown. Find out more in Feast of Booths (Sukkot) by Marc Zvi Brettler. buff.ly/B3AD6Lo
![Feast of Booths (Sukkot) Marc Zvi Brettler A sukkah (plural sukkot) is a booth—a temporary hut. It could have many functions. For example, it could provide protection from the blazing sun (Jonah 4:4) or be set up in the fall harvest season so that the workers could guard the crop that had been picked. Living in these huts also allowed the workers maximum time in the field. It is this type of structure, mentioned in Isa 1:8...that gave this fall harvest festival the name found in Deut 16:13: “You shall keep the festival of booths [Hebrew sukkot] for seven days, when you have gathered in the produce from your threshing floor and your wine press.”](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HTEsQqXXsAAxZVC.jpg?name=orig)

On this day in September 8, 1919, 127,000 Jews murdered in the Ukraine only merits a page 6 note in the @nytimes. h/t @CptAllenHistory.

On September 6 and 7, 1955, a pogrom was carried out against the Greek community of Constantinople. Armenians, Assyrians, and other non-Muslims were targeted too. Homes and businesses were looted and burned. Churches and cemeteries were desecrated. People were beaten, injured, and killed.
Turkish writer Aziz Nesin later wrote that priests were among those forcibly circumcised during the violence. An Armenian priest is reported to have died as a result.
Communities that had lived in that city for centuries were broken in two nights.
