112 Years Ago Today, ‘O Holy Night’ Was The First Song Ever To Be Broadcast Over The Radio By Canadian Inventor Reginald Fessenden On Christmas Eve
What was the first sound to go out over radio waves? It was “O Holy Night,” the Christmas hymn, played on a violin by Canadian inventor Reginald Fessenden.
What was the first sound to go out over radio waves? It was the sound of “O Holy Night,” the Christmas hymn, being played on a violin by Canadian inventor Reginald Fessenden.
There was a day in America where people put God first, and He was ever close to the hearts and in the thoughts of most people. When Samuel Morse was inventing the telegraph, the first words he ever typed into his new machine was “what hath God wrought?” Likewise, when Canadian inventor Reginald Fessenden was inventing broadcast AM radio on December 24, 1906, he sent over the radio waves a bible verse from Luke 2, and on his violin he played the Christmas hymn “O Holy Night”.
“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 swaddling 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.” Luke 2:10-14 (KJV)
In the transition from the 19th to the 20th centuries, God blessed America with an outpouring of knowledge and inventions such like this world has ever seen. Those things gave America unprecedented wealth and world power that exists to this day. But somewhere along the way, America has forgotten to honor the God that had blessed them so mighty. In 2018, wishing someone a ‘Merry Christmas‘ is akin to hate speech, and Santa Claus has replaced Jesus Christ as the reason for the season.
America is not a theocracy, and we don’t rule from the bible. But our Founding Fathers made sure to include God every step of the way, imperfect as it may have been. If only we would remember Who it is that has blessed us and sustains our being. Reginald Fessenden invented broadcast radio, and on his very first transmission he gave glory to the God of Abraham.
On this Christmas night, as the darkness from the coming end times rushes at us from all directions, look up and listen. The Master is coming in the clouds as He has promised, and it won’t be long now.
“He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” Revelation 22:20 (KJV)
112 Years Ago Today, “O Holy Night” First Song Broadcast Over Radio Waves
FROM PULPIT & PEN: On December 24, 1906, the first radio broadcast was made over what was then brand new technology. Reginald Fessenden was a Canadian-born inventor who did most of his work in the United States. He built a system of wireless transmission using amplitude modulation (AM).
During that first broadcast over radio, Fessenden also played the Christian song, Adore and be Still by Gounod, and finished by a closing Scripture, Luke 2:14, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” Some accounts recall Handel’s song, Ombra mai fu, being played as well.
Radio is widely regarded as the single greatest and most influential medium in the history of the world, even more so than television and – believe it or not – even the Internet. Radio certainly deserves the award for longest lasting non-written medium. No other medium besides print – which is quickly dying before our eyes – has so largely impacted human civilization as has radio.
From AM to FM, short-wave to even pirate, various forms of radio communication has connected the world, combined continents, reached into fascist regimes, spread democracy and most importantly, spread the gospel. Walls and censors cannot stop it. Long distances cannot readily impede it. It is a form of communication that truly was, and continues to be, revolutionary.
Two millennia ago, the Son of God came into the world and was born in a stable and laid in a manger. Three astronomers pursued him from the East to welcome him (they made it late) and that night, but that night, the only welcome party to Christ were a few lowly shepherds who were tending their sheep by night.
The angels came to those lowly shepherds and and sang the words of Luke 2:14. Few heard it that night. It was a humbling way for the Christ child to enter the world. The news of this baby’s birth would grow throughout the world, and continue to expand, well after that baby’s eventually death and resurrection.
How sweet is it, how surreal, that the first sound going out over the greatest form of broadcast media in world history, would be heralding the birth of this newborn king.
O holy night! the stars are brightly shining;
It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope – the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees!
O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!

PEACE IN OUR TIME? President Trump’s Revolving Deadlines Expose A Department Of War That Is Much More Like Chamberlain Than It Is Like Churchhill
The Big Difference Between WWII And Today Is Simple, America Once Demanded Surrender, But Trump And The Department Of War Now Specialize In Empty Deadlines
What made America strong in World War II was not endless messaging, phony leverage, or recycled ultimatums. It was simple: the enemy was told to surrender unconditionally, and that was the end of the discussion. When Himmler came sniffing around for a negotiated exit, he was rejected. No games. No moving deadlines. No “last chance” followed by another last chance. No pretending that evil men could be talked into behaving honorably after drowning the world in blood. Negotatiate with terrorists? Not with the “greatest generation”. But that was then and this is now, and no one in Washington seems to have the foggiest notion of what to do next.
“But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.” Matthew 5:37 (KJB)
By contrast, what people are seeing from President Trump and the Department of War in the current Iran crisis looks, to many critics, like a theater of shifting ultimatums: self-imposed deadlines, last-minute extensions, threats of overwhelming force, then more time for talks, then fresh threats again. The Council on Foreign Relations described Trump announcing a two-week ceasefire just 88 minutes before his own deadline, and CBS reported this week that he extended that ceasefire after saying he would not move the deadline. That is exactly how “red lines” become punch lines. When a leader repeatedly announces a deadline and then stretches it, the deadline stops being a warning and starts becoming a bargaining ritual. The enemy learns that time itself is a weapon. Every delay becomes leverage. Every extension signals hesitation. Every reversal teaches hostile actors that Washington’s fiercest language may only be the opening act in another round of process.
UK Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain right before the start of WWII flew to Nazi Germany, for peace talks, and came back waving a piece of paper signed by Adolf Hitler, and he proclaimed he have achieved “peace in our time”. Shortly after that, WWII began, with Hitler mocking Chamberlain for his naive weakness, literally laughing at him. By contrast, when his replacement Winston Churchhill was given the opportunity to negotiate “peace talks” with Hitler, Churchill refused and said they would fight to the last man and die before that happened. Winston Churchill knew that “peace talks” are for losers who cannot win militarily. President Trump and Pete Hegseth over at the Department of War talk like Churchill, but they act like Chamberlain. What’s that you say, ‘peace in our time’? That’ll never happen if the Bible is right. But who believes the prophets and the Bible anymore? We do.
Trump Extends Iran War Ceasefire In Operation Epic Fury
FROM THE COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS: Trump announced an extension to the U.S.-Iran truce yesterday to allow Iranian leaders to reach a “unified proposal” in talks. The eleventh-hour move came as the truce was in its final stretch and marked an abrupt shift for the president, who earlier yesterday had reiterated opposition to an extension. While it staves off resuming large-scale hostilities in Iran and the Persian Gulf, both Washington and Tehran are maintaining their restrictions on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz while condemning each other’s actions. The United States boarded a tanker carrying Iranian oil in the Indian Ocean yesterday, while Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency said today that Iranian forces seized two ships in the strait.Meanwhile, attacks in Lebanon and northern Israel tested the ceasefire there.
U.S.-Iran diplomacy. Trump’s truce extension came after fears of a return to fighting rippled through oil markets, sending the price of Brent crude temporarily back up to around $100 per barrel. Unnamed U.S. officials told multiple news outlets that the extension reflected divisions in opinion among Iran’s leadership as well as trouble communicating with injured Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei. An advisor to one member of Iran’s negotiating team called the extension meaningless, though the team did not immediately give a unified response. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif thanked Trump for the extension, writing it would “allow ongoing diplomatic efforts to take their course.” READ MORE

The Coyote Ridge Corrections Center In Washington State And The Warren Correctional Institution In North Carolina Are In Need Of King James Bibles
Behind Prison Walls At Coyote Ridge And Warren Correctional Institution, Inmates Need The Hope, Comfort, And Salvation Found In A King James Bible
The King James Bible has a power and a majesty to it that speaks with authority. It does not flatter the sinner, but it does point him to the Saviour. For the inmate who feels forgotten, the Bible tells him that God sees. For the prisoner crushed by guilt, the Bible tells him that the blood of Jesus Christ can wash away sin. For the man or woman inmate who thinks their life is over, the Bible tells them that new life can and will begin in Jesus Christ, even in the darkness of a prison cell, if they would only believe. This is what Bibles Behind Bars does every day of the week, this is why we exist.
“Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.” Psalm 119:9 (KJB)
A personal Bible matters because it becomes more than a book. It becomes a lifeline, the inmate can underline verses in it. They can write prayers in the margins, mark the date when God spoke peace to their heart. He or she can go back again and again to the passages that carried them through despair. That Bible becomes a quiet companion in a place filled with sorrow. It becomes the one possession that reminds them they are not beyond the reach of the grace of God. This is why sending King James Bibles into places like Coyote Ridge Corrections Center and Warren Correctional Institution matters so much. We’re not merely mailing paper and ink, we are placing eternal truth into the hands of souls who need it desperately. Your gift is giving light to men and women who are walking in dark places. You are giving truth to those who have believed lies. You are giving comfort to the broken, warning to the hardened, and hope to the repentant. Prayerfully consider giving today to help provide King James Bibles for the inmates at Coyote Ridge Corrections Center and Warren Correctional Institution. Your gift will place the scriptures into the hands of a prisoner who may be reading the words of life for the very first time. Come help us, we need you!

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Washington Teases UFO’s, Hollywood Hypes ‘Disclosure Day’, And Book Of Enoch Trending To Prepare The World For The ‘Big Lie’
The Book Of Enoch, Missing Scientists And Trump’s Alien File Tease Converge With Hollywood’s ‘Disclosure Day’ Push To Set The Stage For Deception
Right now, there are a handful of things happening at the same time that, in and of themselves, aren’t overly spectacular, but when taken as a whole hit all the buttons. Look on social media, especially on places like X and Instragram, and you will see a lot of posts about the extra-biblical book of Enoch. Then we have President Trump threatening, or teasing, to reveal what the federal government knows about UFOs. Finally, in just a few weeks, Steven Speilberg’s much-anticipated movie ‘Disclosure Day’ is opening on June 12th. There seems to be a coordininated effort between social media, the White House and Hollywood to get us ready for something. But for what? That’s the question before us today.
“And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:11,12 (KJB)
On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, What we are watching right now is not random. Anna Paulina Luna is pushing renewed interest in the Book of Enoch, the Trump administration is teasing that alien secrets may soon be revealed, and Hollywood is rolling out Spielberg’s June 12, 2026 release Disclosure Day just as public fascination with UFO disclosure is surging. Now add in the fresh federal probe into the deaths and disappearances of 10 to 11 scientists and staff tied to sensitive nuclear and space-related work, and the atmosphere gets even darker. The danger is not just government files or UFO chatter by itself, it is the framework being built around it. The Book of Enoch is not a Bible book, yet it is increasingly treated as though it contains hidden keys to fallen beings, ancient corruption, and modern “non-human intelligence.” That is how deception works. Once people stop trusting Scripture alone, they become vulnerable to forbidden knowledge, secret revelations, and counterfeit spiritual explanations dressed up as discovery. And when mysterious missing scientists, rumored classified programs, and talk of disclosure all get folded into the same story, the public becomes even easier to condition. Washington provides the platform, Enoch provides the spiritual counterfeit, Hollywood provides the emotional packaging, and the missing scientists story provides the atmosphere of urgency and menace. Together they prepare the public to receive a supernatural explanation that bypasses biblical truth and feeds end-times delusion. We don’t need secret files, extra-biblical texts, or cinematic propaganda to understand the times. We already have a more sure word of prophecy, and we’ll give it all to you today.

I already subscribed.” In that short time we spoke, I experienced from you…a total stranger…peace, joy, kindness, gentleness, compassion, and love.
