Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrived in Israel just as Vice-President JD Vance departed. After touring the Civilian Military Coordination Center (CMCC) and talking to the U.S. team that is operating the center, Secretary Rubio delivered remarks to the media and answered questions. WATCH:

It’s very important to keep all the people that don’t yet believe Christ is King from killing each other.
Naa..stay out of the way and let them have at it.
The commandment is to make disciples of all nations. No special carve-out for certain groups or peoples. We have been cautioned that “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven.” Note the emphasis on “doing” not simply “believing”.

Accurate interpretation of Scripture with supporting verses.
Howdy MC, hope you are doing well!
Thanks for the feedback!
Hey, GB. Doing well. Always blessed by your posts.
Good luck with that Jesus is the only one to ever walk on earth that could accomplish his fathers will. The rest of us all fall short.
How Christian of you….
Actually I’m very concerned about all of the other people killing the people that believe Jesus Christ is King. We are hated the world over.
A missionary pilot just kidnapped in Niger. Persecution of the real church is increasing.
DD
Christian genocide in Nigeria is ignored…
18,000 churches burned
Over 100,000 killed brutally since 2009, 7,000 this year so far
And not a word from anyone in a position of power to bring pressure to bear.
I keep waiting for President Trump 🙏🏻
Retired Magistrate here: Yes, I had not heard anything about the Christian genocide in Nigeria until last Sunday when our pastor talked about it. I knew that Christians were being persecuted in Nigeria but I had no idea of the scope.
We do need to pray for President Trump. I think it was one of his pressers about a week ago where a reporter asked him if he thought he was going to heaven and President Trump stated that no, he didn’t think that he was, because there was nothing that he could do to get into heaven. I supposed this makes sense because growing up President Trump attended the church of Dr. Norman Vincent Peal who was a very works based pastor; i.e., the power of positive thinking.
I remember Dr Peal, Marcia.
I had not heard President Trump say that. I’d very much like to believe he is wrong. His good works done privately are just as Christ admonished us to do…in secret. He has contributed greatly to those who will always remember his generosity and big jeart.
At the latest mass burial after the Christian slaughter by Muslims, the pastor who oversaw the obsequies called out for President Trump as the only one on earth could help them.
I pray he hears him.
Abaham was considered a righteous man by God simply because he had faith in him. As was the great of the Bible. Not always doing right or even having great works but faith that what God said was true. The devil will make you doubt, that’s a human trait but continue in faith and you will see God.
I suggest you subscribe (and perhaps donate) to Voice Of The Martyrs : https://www.persecution.com/
Thank you, Yinzer…
And again, for those who need a reminder…….
”No Jews, no news…..”
I would think there are opposing decision forces: not brining US into wars not ours and his promise not to do so, and the justice and protection due the Christians in the countries where they are being persecuted. Certainly requires Godly wisdom. I know many prayers are being offered by those who are blessed with resources to effect solutions. We should all be in prayer.
I am in no way suggesting we should become physically embroiled in this terrible genocide, doc.
But there are other ways, economic for example, or diplomatic.
So far President Trump has not uttered any word about these atrocities, though he is not alone. Neither has, shamefully, has Pope Leo. Any public pronouncement from our president might just draw universal attention to these horrible murders and church desecrations. I wish he would speak up, and do so loudly and forcefully at least.
In the end, we can all deploy our most potent weapon, prayer.
That much we can do.
You know what they say……
”No Jews, no news…….”

I agree. Bill Maher spoke about this last week and Al Jazeera had a front page article titled:
No, Bill Maher, there is no ‘Christian genocide’ in Nigeria
From Boko Haram to herder–farmer clashes, Nigeria’s crises are complex. Simplistic genocide claims fuel propaganda.

Do you include the US evangelicals who insist the Jerusalem temple must be rebuilt, and animal blood sacrifices resumed?
I never heard of this before – how did you discover this?
There is also Voice of the Martyr’s Radio Program which I have listened to for years.
Here, me rattle your cage a bit…..actual kosher red heifer ashes were actually produced last summer by the Temple Mount Authority using flawless cows originating in Texas. There is now nothing to stop the high priest to become purified and the daily and evening sacrifices to begin.
The daily and evening sacrifices are done outside the temple so there does not need to be a temple existing to start these sacrifices that, per Daniel 9, will eventually be stopped by the anti-Christ.
The High Priest was Himself sacrificed 2,525 years ago.
Well, yes, but Yeshua stands in the Office of Mechizedek, not Aaron’s Office of High Priest.
Two different functions.
After fulfilling, perfectly, many prophecies, including many but not all (yet) of those those relating to the position of High Priest and King of Israel. From Scripture, Yom Kippur was never celebrated in the Second Temple (not since the reign of Manasseh) , and Jesus never yet sat on the throne of David as was prophesied repeatedly.
Hosea 5:15 I will go and return to My place, until they acknowledge their offence and seek My face; in their affliction, they will seek Me earnestly.
Jeremiah 3:16-17 “And it shall be in those days when you become numerous and are fruitful in the land”, declares the LORD, “they will no longer say ‘The ark of the covenant of the LORD.’ And it will not come to mind, nor will they remember it, nor miss it, nor will it be made again. At that time they will call Jerusalem ‘The Throne of the LORD’, and all nations will assemble at it, at Jerusalem, for the name of the LORD; and they will no longer follow the stubbornness of their evil heart.”
Revelation 11 describes the third temple, in which the antichrist will sit in place of the Glory of the LORD in the holy of holies; and Ezekiel 40-48 describes the 4th and final temple.
Daniel was concerned not about the servitude of the nation nor the desolation of Jerusalem: he prayed for the end of the desolation of the sanctuary, and was given a prophetic answer to that prayer.
Evangelicals rehearse ancient red heifer ritual linked to Jerusalem temple prophecy

Well, Scripture says these things will happen whether we like it, approve of it or help in some way, it doesn’t matter, God’s Word said those things will happen.
Evangelicals rehearse ancient red heifer ritual linked to Jerusalem temple prophecy
Religion News service July 1, 2025
A Red Heifer was sacrificed in Israel on July 1, 2025 – YouTube
The “evangelical” supporting the red heifer project is doing it while openly acknowledging that temple will later be occupied by the antichrist, the Man of Lawlessness. Just because he calls himself evangelical does not make him one. He is a ravenous wolf in sheep’s clothing.
James 4:4: Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
True evangelicals love God and do not want to assist Satan’s evil and destructive agenda.
Their (the evangelicals) theology is MUCH too new to be ANYWHERE near accurate!
Evangelicals’ “theology” is the Bible. We are Bible believing churches. We do not follow man made traditions or rules which often have no basis in scripture. There have always been followers of Christ that followed scripture over man made traditions or rules.
To clarify mhart: the one “man-made tradition” evangelicals follow is the New Testament Canon of Scripture. This canon was not of course provided by God, but selected for each book by the men and traditions of the Catholic church. Everything you accept as “biblical” about Jesus Christ was selected for you from the “traditions” of Catholic priests and bishops.
And before they were Catholics… they were Orthodox!
:p
And before that, they were Jews who wrote the manuscritps.
Lol Lucius, but unconvincing. If the eastern schismatics were the true church, they would’ve insisted on calling themselves catholic, which had been in use since the mid-first century when they were rightly deferring to the Bishop of Rome.
Instead, they called themselves “orthodox” and insisted power should reside with Constantinople instead of Rome in defiance of Christ, the apostles, and 1058 years of Christian tradition.
God, of course, in His infinite justice, allowed the seat of orthodoxy in Constantinople to be sacked by mohammedan devil worshipping hordes and there holiest site to be converted into a temple to the false god allah to show His displeasure. This was right before God Almighty in that same perfect justice allowed the schismatic orthodox to recreate their schism amongst themselves, over and over again, indistinguishable from the now 45,000 protestant sects.
Only one church has the four ecclesial marks of Truth from Nicea. 😉
True evangelicals do not follow man-made traditions. We are warned to search scripture several places, and are required to search the entirety of the scriptures to be certain any teaching is in accord with scripture:
Acts 17:10-11 Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures [Old Testament] daily to find out whether these things were so.
Galatians 1:8-9 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.
For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures [Old Testament], and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.
The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is promised as a guide for us, and scripture does not contradict itself. The New Testament documents partial and ongoing fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies.
The epistles to the churches in Ephesus, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis and Laodicea all warn of future apostacy within the churches, with the explicit command to study that book and keep the things written in it, and for “him who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
True. And many of those books offered for inclusion were refused, like the Infant Prophecies where Jesus kills dragons.
Why not show your true faith and just call them all infidels?
Your false equivalence is showing…….
Thank you, Sundance.
May The LORD continue to BLESS Secretary of State Rubio!
We Pray
Rubio is very impressive. A true statesman. Enjoyed the discussion.
He’s got a pleasant demeanor and cracks funny jokes, but just like people are advised not to underestimate our President, the same can be said for Marco. He’s knowledgeable, smart, and very tough.
I owe this man an apology! Mr Rubio was my rep in florida. I wrote him he needed to find a different job because I didn’t agree with him. I was wrong!
I think he has grown and matured. I didn’t trust him a few years ago, but he is doing a great job as Secretary of State.
And maybe he’s grown by being around President Trump, a great leader does that, brings out the best.
🦅✝️🇺🇸
Maybe you should write him again…..?
He might get some encouragement from it?
The main problem with Muslims is that they aren’t more like Thomas Jefferson who so wisely said: “It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.”
The fewer people like Muslims, always trying to shove their religion down people’s throats, the better the world would be.
At one time Genghis Khan purged all Muslims except for one last city. Genghis Khan got sick and went back to Mongolia. He left his son in charge. His son didn’t have the heart to kill all the Muslims as his father did. The Muslims survived and it is why we have Islam Muslims today.
Many in Israel denounced candidate Trump’s call for a Muslim immigration ban into America! Bibi himself denounced Trump and it. Pretty strange considering what Op Mockingbird and posters on this site claim my friend.
Many do not know history, like of the Ottoman’s, Moors in Iberia, or more recently in the illegal wars against the Holocaust victim Serbian peoples, long time friends and allies of the Jewish people. Their getting thrown under the bus is an understatement, but is real eye opening once you start researching it.
Actually, it wasn’t a ‘Muslim’ ban, but a ban from various countries that had no viable government
It never fails – @sundance posts an article about Israel and the antisemites pop up like groundhogs in February!
Be careful with that word. It too is losing it’s meaning just as racist, homophobe, and misogynist did. Oh ya, and fascist.
Agree!
Notice the absence of….Bolshevik

The Rulers of Russia-Rev Denis Fahey-
Actually, it’s been gaining meaning sine October 7, 2023.
The Op Mockingbird media tried to smear PDJT with the Alinsky canard “Anti-semite”. Some Knesset members called him a “Nazi”. Yet when real Nazi’s show up like in Bosnia,Croatia, Kosovo in the 90’s and 2000’s and Azov Nazis in Ukraine, silence from the same liars that try and silence patriots who oppose Globalism, or who want America First and Israel Second, instead of Israel First.
Being critical of the secular state of Israel is not necessarily antisemitic.
Albert Pike. Was he Jewish? Was he a seer? How did he know about Zionism, Israel, WWI,II long before any of them happened? And his WWIII looks like he’s right again.
We’ve been round and round on this discussion loop ➰– upside down and sideways.
… and inside out.
And slithering doesn’t necessarily mean one is a snake.
It’s more than likely Anti-Herzl
And not regarding the contemporary state of Israel as the subject of biblical prophecy is not necessarily un-Christian.
Being able to believe as you see fit about this is part of your rights as an American.
But, too often recently, antizionism has become a smokescreen to hide the antisemitism – on the left the socialists use the propalestinians as useful idiots to spread their hate and their lies, and on the right it rears its ugly head where people feel it is safe to do so – like some here, unfortunately……..
yep … no lack of “it’s the Jooz” here in the comments sometimes
Like flies at a summer picnic.
PDJT has been exposing the false leadership of Israel, and most of the false leaders of the Jewish communities in many nations not just America. They have been misleading their Jewish flocks for thousands of years.
Trump threatens to cut all support for Israel, as JD Vance is ‘personally insulted’ by ‘stupid political stunt’
https://thedailybs.com/2025/10/23/trump-threatens-to-cut-all-support-for-israel-over-jd-vance-personal-insult-very-stupid-political-stunt/
“Calling the move a “very stupid political stunt,” Vance criticized the Israeli parliament for what he saw as an attempt to embarrass Netanyahu during his visit. “
Same Parliament who did not want candidate Trump to visit Israel because of his Muslim Immigration Ban? And Bibi went along with and even denounced it?

Michelle Bachman a committed Christian says Kushner and Witkoff undermined Israels victory over Hamas
I agree with her 100%
Also the UN cannot be allowed near Gaza
Nor UNRWA or Al Jazeera whose employees were involved in October 7
Guterres is a vile antisemite who palled around with Yasser Arafat, Abbas and other muslims and commies
AND the UN peacekeeping forces-UNIFIL in Lebanon allowed Hezbollah to build up arms, tunnels and to multiply
UN forces in the Congo raped women
So UN is a NO NO
Wherever the UN is involved, there is trouble
Time to abolish the UN

Marco’s got the patience of Job with these nudnicks.
Are these trips to keep high valued Netanyahu “minders” on the ground in Israel to keep him from doing anything to compromise the peace treaty?
I see nothing but a man who wants desperately to become President.
