Daniel 8:23-25
In the latter part of their reign, when rebels have become completely wicked, a fierce-looking king, a master of intrigue, will arise.

He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause astounding devastation and will succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy those who are mighty, the holy people.

He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power.

Daniel 11:36
The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been determined must take place.

—Signs of the End Times —
As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately.
“Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”

Jesus answered:
“Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.

You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.

Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.

Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.

At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.

Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."

Matthew 24:3–14

One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast. People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?”

The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.
Revelation 13:3–8

If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces."

“They call it ‘Gestapo tactics’, but when Homeland Security comes knocking on your door, they’re not coming to play patty-cake...
We like Mexican food, and we like to visit the restaurants. But we’re not going to sell out our birthright for a bean burrito.”
–Fred Dailey, Knox County Republican Central Committee Chair

"FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 10, 2025

City of Mount Vernon Learns New Information Regarding Situation at Pancho’s Tacos on October 9, 2025

City leaders have contacted Congressman Troy Balderson, Senator Bernie Moreno, Senator Jon Husted, the Ohio Department of Public Safety, and the Detroit Office of Homeland Security Investigations and learned the operation at Pancho’s Tacos on October 9, 2025 was conducted by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).

Initial reports, including an earlier statement from the City, indicated that the operation was conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). However, the City of Mount Vernon has since received confirmation that HSI was the federal agency responsible for the operation. HSI has informed the City that the action was based on a tip related to the employment of undocumented immigrants.

The City of Mount Vernon is focused on supporting all of our citizens, upholding the rule of law, and ensuring due process. Our role is to maintain a safe and orderly community, and we believe that clear communication and cooperation between all levels of government, including federal agencies, is the best way to achieve that.

HSI has classified this matter as an ongoing criminal investigation. While the City of Mount Vernon will continue to seek further information, all media inquiries regarding the investigation should be directed to Homeland Security Investigations."

“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.
If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.

Remember what I told you:
‘A servant is not greater than his master.’
If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.

They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me.

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.

Whoever hates me hates my Father as well.

If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father.

But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law:
‘They hated me without reason.’

–Jesus
(John 15:18–27)

Coming to his hometown, he began teaching the people in their synagogue, and they were amazed.
“Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?” they asked.

“Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother’s name Mary, and aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? Aren’t all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?”
And they took offense at him.

But Jesus said to them,
“A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home.”
And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.

Matthew 13:54-58

“No one can serve two masters.
Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other.
You cannot serve both God and money."

–Jesus
(Matthew 6:24)

Then Jesus said to his disciples,
“Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

Matthew 19:23-24
