Mount Etna...getting a little to close to home. (Former home.)

It's quite different now.

I'm tired of it too Glenn...and not even the Trump Administration is doing anything about it. I don’t want to change the subject, but the Muslim Brotherhood is doing something about their cause.

Doomsday Clock, Is it real?

+
  +
AI Overview

The term "Islamic Doomsday Clock" is most commonly a reference to a specific political monument in Iran, not a general concept within the Islamic faith or a formal scientific measurement. 
The Palestine Square Countdown Clock (Iran) 
This digital clock, located in Palestine Square in Tehran, Iran, is a large electronic billboard that displays a countdown in Farsi, English, and Arabic to the predicted date of the destruction of the State of Israel. 
Origin: The clock was unveiled on Quds Day in June 2017. The countdown is based on a 2015 statement by Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who predicted that Israel "won't exist in 25 years".
Target Date: The clock counts down the days to September 2040.
Symbolism: It is considered a prominent symbol of Iran's state policy of opposition to the existence of Israel and is part of a broader political and psychological campaign. 

The Original Doomsday Clock

The internationally recognized Doomsday Clock is a separate, secular concept created in 1947 by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. 
Purpose: This metaphorical clock is a design that warns the public about how close humanity is to self-destruction due to dangerous technologies of our own making, primarily nuclear threats and climate change.
Setting the Time: The time is set annually by a board of scientists and Nobel laureates based on global existential threats.
Current Time: As of January 2025, the Doomsday Clock was set at 89 seconds to midnight—the closest it has ever been to a theoretical global catastrophe.

This Day In History: December 9, 1965



This Day in History: December 9, 1965...

Christ is King and the Moment Fear Fell Silent / On this day in 1965, a simple animated special aired on national television and did something American media had never dared to do: it preached the Gospel to a nation in prime time.
A Charlie Brown Christmas arrived without fanfare or polish, and yet it has outlived entire networks, cultural trends, and nearly six decades of changing tastes. It endures because it tells the truth.

Everyone remembers the music, the sad little tree, and Charlie Brown’s disappointment. But the heart of the special is a quiet boy named Linus...and his blanket. If you know Peanuts, you know the blanket. It is always there. It is his shield, his comfort, his coping mechanism, his answer to every fear. He drags it from scene to scene, comic strip to comic strip, like a lifeline. He needs it twenty-four hours a day, everywhere he goes. He does not know how to live without it. Until one moment.

Linus steps into the spotlight, and for the first time in the entire show, everything falls silent. No jokes. No music. No commentary. Just Scripture... straight from the King James Bible, almost word for word, spoken by a child with a blanket in his hand:

“And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

And the angel said unto them, "Fear not for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in waddling clothes, lying in a manger."

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."

And at the exact words “Fear not,” Linus does something no one expects; he drops the blanket..It falls from his hand to the floor. The thing he always needed... the thing he clung to... becomes unnecessary in the presence of Christ.

That is not nostalgia. That is theology. Fear loses its authority when Christ is revealed.  Comfort objects lose their power when the Savior arrives. The child lets go because Christ is King.

Millions of children have watched that scene, year after year, without realizing a sermon was preached to them. Every December, across generations, Linus lays down fear and lifts up Scripture. He shows us what it means to trust a promise older than sorrow: “Fear not.”

Two weeks from Christmas, let this be your reminder:

Traditions matter. Scripture matters. Christ matters more than anything we use to numb our fear.

Show it to your children. Show it to your grandchildren. Make it a family tradition. Let the Word speak. Let Christ be King. Christ is King. ✝️ ~ Clint Grantham, Enterprise, Alabama
