What in the heavens is going on?! Another round of remarkable celestial signs is about to unfold as we see the third blood moon in just 2 years. This next blood moon lands directly on Purim in a sign that may hold prophetic significance relating to Israel and the Middle East.

Then... prepare for 'a Golden Age of Solar Eclipses' including 3 'Rings of Fire' and 3 Total Eclipses in 3 Years! It all includes "the eclipse of the century," coming this summer:

“Do you want to meet the Michael Jordan of Bible translation?”

It was early in the 2010s, and Jordan Monson was a low-level Bible translation intern. He was attending a conference when a friend posed that question to him.

Unsure who it might be, Monson assented to the offer and was understandably surprised when he turned to see an English woman in her early 70s with a bit of a limp walking toward him.

“I noticed around the room as all of these senior leaders … the whole room just stopped … and everyone just looked to her and, one by one, these incredibly important people walked up to her,” Monson recalled, jokingly adding, “The only way they could show more reverence is if they bowed; it was crazy.”

Tim Tebow is expanding his mission to rescue children who are being sexually abused and exploited online—and to hold offenders accountable.

After years of advocacy from Tebow, the bipartisan "Renewed Hope Act" is now in the House of Representatives for a vote.

As CBN News has reported, the Tim Tebow Foundation has been working for more than a decade to combat human trafficking and has helped to rescue more than 2,000 victims and bring more than 500 traffickers to justice.

A new report from the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) reveals the highest number of countries persecuting Christians in recorded history, with faith communities facing imprisonment, violence and even death simply for practicing their beliefs.

Nowhere is that violence more lethal than in Nigeria, where USCIRF reports over 80% of religion-based murders in 2024 occurred.

Rebecca Dali, a former captive of Boko Haram, was one of several witnesses to share her violent reality, having now documented thousands of killings by the extremist group.

Across Latin America, the political ground is still shifting after the U.S. removed Nicolás Maduro from Venezuela, and people in that country are watching closely to see whether real change will follow. Meanwhile, in neighboring Colombia, tensions briefly flared after President Trump publicly confronted Colombia's leftist president. What could have become a diplomatic rupture instead turned into a surprise phone call — and a sudden reset.

In the weeks since Maduro's ouster, Venezuela has entered a transitional phase marked by both promise and deep uncertainty. U.S. diplomats are back in Caracas, sanctions are being reevaluated, and oil exports are moving again. For most in the country, though, these high-level developments feel distant. Daily life remains unstable, with few believing that removing one man means the system has changed.

Scores of people have fled to government-held areas in northern Syria ahead of a possible attack by Syrian troops on Kurdish-led fighters. The Syrian army has signaled plans for an offensive as the United States is urging calm and remains in contact with all parties.

A cleric leading prayer in Tehran has demanded the death penalty for detained protesters, a move that would cross a red line laid down by the Trump Administration for possible military action against Iran. The demonstrations that began on December 28th have seen at least 2,600 people killed.

And a federal investigation into a sprawling betting scheme to fix basketball games has ensnared 26 people, including NCAA athletes. A group of fixers allegedly recruited players with the promise of payouts for shaving points. Charges include bribery, wire fraud and conspiracy.

The people of the Middle East are waiting to see when and how President Trump will address Iran's nearly three-week rebellion against the Islamic regime. The U.S. is sending an armada, which is now on its way to the region.

Even with reports that the death toll is up to 30,000, Iranian-born activist Amir Hamidi tells CBN News that the uprising continues and springs from the heart of the Iranian people.

"From Azerbaijan to Baluchistan to Kurdistan to the southern parts of Iran, from Tehran to Tabriz to Mashhad, I hear one voice, and they want a regime change," Hamidi reported. "They want freedom. They want a normal life. And if they are afraid, they are intimidated because (of) government, forces. They're shooting their children, and (security forces are) not giving their bodies (back) until they pay for the body to take him and bury him."

Iran is facing its most critical moment in decades... In this exclusive Jerusalem Dateline interview, Iranian-born lawyer, activist, and former Canadian lawmaker Goldie Ghamari joins us to discuss what she’s hearing from inside Iran.

Ghamari says unconfirmed reports point to more than 30,000 Iranians killed, calling it the largest massacre since the Islamic regime took power in 1979. She explains why this uprising is different, why Iranians believe the regime’s fall is near, and what freedom could look like after nearly five decades of oppression.

She also shares why Christianity is rapidly growing inside Iran despite persecution, why Iranians are reclaiming their national identity, and why a future alliance between Iran and Israel could be restored.

For some, church is a place of safety and belonging. For others, it can be a source of pain. "Church hurt" has become a familiar term, describing the impact caused by spiritual abuse or toxic environments.

Author Natalie Runion understands that struggle. As a pastor's kid who grew up serving in church, she considered walking away after her father had to resign his position.

"Hurt people, hurt people – but healed people will also help heal people," said Runion. "That's the beauty of the family of God. We can simultaneously be hurt and heal at the same time as we live together in unity."

While praising Machado, the administration stopped short of backing her as a replacement, citing limited domestic support. Meanwhile, Congress narrowly rejects a move to limit presidential war powers in Venezuela.
