The family of a Texas teen who hanged himself says their son was involved in a ghoulish online game that calls on participants to complete a series of tasks before taking their own lives, and some schools are warning parents about the so-called Blue Whale Challenge.

“Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.” Colossians 3:20 (KJV)

EDITOR’S NOTE: The very first “challenge” I became aware of was the incredibly stupid Cinnamon Challenge where people swallowed whole spoonfuls of cinnamon to see how much of a throat burning they could take. Then there was the Eraser Challenge, the Ice Bucket Challenge and various others. So while it’s incredibly sad, the Blue Whale Challenge, which has claimed the lives of over 130 teens around the world, seems to me like the natural and logical progression in the ‘challenge’ world. The Devil doesn’t get you in one, big bite, he gets you in a bunch of little steps. Parents, if your child participates in any ‘challenge’, take their phones away and suspend their social media accounts. Take the ‘I Love My Child’ challenge. 

Jorge Gonzalez told San Antonio television station WOAI that he wanted to caution others after his son, Isaiah, was found hanging in his bedroom closet Saturday in the family’s home with his cellphone propped up on a shoe to record his death.

A report on the boy’s death from the San Antonio Police Department does not mention the challenge. But Gonzalez’ family said in the days after the teen died, they pieced together from his social media and communication with friends that he had participated in the game.

His sister, Alexis, told the TV station that a person behind the challenge had gathered personal information from Isaiah and had threatened to harm the family.

The police department did not return a message left by The Associated Press asking whether authorities were investigating the game as a factor in the case. Many parents and other authorities are skeptical that the game actually exists, citing a lack of suicides directly attributed to it.

Agent Michelle Lee of the FBI’s San Antonio office said the agency is not assisting in the investigation, but urged parents to monitor their children’s online activities.

“It’s a reminder of one of the many dangers and vulnerabilities that children face using various social media and apps online every day,” Lee said. “Parents must remain vigilant and monitor their child’s usage of the internet.”

Gonzalez is the second parent this week to tell news outlets about a child who died by suicide allegedly as a result of the game.

A Georgia woman spoke Monday to CNN about her 16-year-old daughter killing herself as part of the challenge but asked that their names not be used.

Educators, law enforcement officers and parents across the country have reported rumors about the challenge for months. But until this week, there had been no allegations in the United States about a death directly linked to the game. Suicides in Russia, Brazil and a half dozen other countries were reportedly linked to the challenge in cases that usually involved teenagers or young adults.

Mississippi teen with ties to Florida says she took part in Blue Whale Challenge:

Notes have been posted on school district social media pages and sent home to parents in school districts across the country, including Vacaville, California; Baldwin County, Alabama; Warwick, Rhode Island; and Denver.

In Connecticut, Danbury Public Schools Superintendent Sal Pascarella sent a short note to parents around May after administrators from the district’s 19 schools started hearing about the challenge from kids as young as elementary schoolers.

“The elementary school principals started hearing their kids talk about this thing. Then the secondary principals started mentioning the same thing,” he said. “We discovered on our school network content about the challenge had been looked at on YouTube. … I decided I would rather err on the side of information with parents.”

Parents allege that teens reach out to game administrators called curators through various social media platforms. Those curators lead the players through 50 days of challenges including watching scary movie clips, cutting symbols into their arms and legs and taking pictures of themselves in dangerous positions such as on the edge of a roof or on train tracks.

The participants are allegedly required to take pictures of their challenges being completed and share them before being directed to end their lives on the 50th day. A search of related hashtags on Instagram shows users posting pictures of scars and cuts or memes that depict suicide, and a similar Twitter search shows users reaching out for curators to lead them through the game.

Instagram warns that some images tagged under some of the related phrases could be harmful and directs users to mental health resources. Twitter assesses reports of self-harm or suicide and also directs users to mental health or suicide-prevention resources.

The Center for Missing and Exploited Children is aware of the challenge and encourages parents to report it and similar activity to the center’s cyber tip line even if they feel like they do not have enough information to go to police, said Eliza Harrell, the group’s director of education and outreach.

Harrell said she had not heard about the use of threats and intimidation, but said it was particularly concerning.

“That really adds another level to this,” she said. “We do not tend to address specific apps or games when we give advice to parents.”

When parents talk to their children, “the underlying conversation needs to be about dealing with strangers online and putting themselves in a position of trust,” she added. “It’s an issue that a child is listening to someone anonymously and doing what they are told by a stranger to do.” source

Donald Trump’s Gaza Board Of Peace Surrounds Israel With A ‘Who’s Who’ Of Their Enemies Just As Psalm 83 Tells Us, Pope Leo XIV Is Considering Joining As Well

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Gaza ‘Board of Peace’ concocted by Donald Trump will surround Israel with a Psalm 83 cadre of their enemies including Pope Leo XIV

What is now being branded as the Trump “Board of Peace” is shaping up to be something far more familiar to any Bible-believing Christian who actually reads the Book instead of skimming headlines. This is Psalm 83 diplomacy—a multinational alignment of Israel’s historic enemies gathering under the language of peace in order to manage, pressure, and ultimately constrain the Jewish state. The Bible told you this would happen. Not with tanks first, not with missiles first. but with crafty counsel.

“(A Song or Psalm of Asaph.) Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.” Psalm 83: 1-4 (KJB)

Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates will each appoint a representative to sit on the panel of world leaders, their foreign ministers announced in a joint statement. Not only that, but Trump has also invited Pope Leo XIV to sit on the Board of Peace as well. Pope Leo XIV is currently evaluating an invitation by U.S. President Donald Trump to join his “Board of Peace,” an international body chaired by the president to oversee the governance and reconstruction of Gaza, the Vatican secretary of state said. If that happens, sell the farm, we’re out of here.

Psalm 83 opens with urgency because God seems to be silent while man is busy organizing. There is no battle described in verses 1–4. There is plotting. There is coordination. There is agreement. There is one consent. That word ‘confederate’ matters. This is not chaos. This is not random outrage. This is structured alignment—exactly what a “Board of Peace” is by design. And notice who is being “consulted” in Psalm 83 – Israel’s immediate neighbors and long-standing adversaries. That same geographic and ideological pressure is now being repackaged as a peace initiative that places Israel in the center of a ring of nations who do not share her covenant, her God, or her destiny.

Gaza is the doorway, not the destination. Gaza is the excuse. Gaza is the emotional hook. Gaza is the justification for global involvement. But Gaza is not the endgame. That is not about ceasefires, aid corridors or rebuilding homes. This is about national erasure of the nation of Israel. In the modern world, you don’t eliminate a nation by invasion first—you eliminate it by international management. You place it under supervision. You condition its sovereignty. You surround it with “partners” who all agree that Israel is the problem that must be solved. That is exactly what a multinational peace board does.

‘Peace’ is always the sales pitch, and the Bible already warned you how this would be sold:

“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” 1 Thessalonians 5:3 (KJB)

Peace is not the outcome—it’s the label. It’s the language used to disarm resistance, suppress discernment, and make opposition sound unreasonable. Hitler said he wanted peace in 1933, right up to the moment he wanted war in 1938.

Who could be against peace?
Who could object to cooperation?
Who could refuse international oversight?

Israel can—and that’s why Israel is always painted as the obstacle.

This Is How You Prepare The Ground For The Covenant With Many

Daniel didn’t say the final covenant would come through war. He said it would come through agreement.

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.” Daniel 9:27 (KJB)

“With many” means multinational.
“With many” means celebrated.
“With many” means enforced by consensus.

The Psalm 83 Ring Of Fire

“For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.” Psalm 83:5-8 (KJB)

When you map this out geographically, Israel is completely surrounded by the Muslim board members:

  • South & West: Gaza / Philistines
  • East: Jordan (Moab & Ammon)
  • South-East: Saudi Arabia (Ishmaelites)
  • North: Lebanon (Tyre, Gebal)
  • North-East: Turkey / Assur
  • Sinai & Egypt: Hagarenes

This is not coincidence.
This is encirclement.

You don’t get there without boards, councils, frameworks, and mechanisms already in place. Psalm 83 is the pre-war alignment. Daniel 9:27 is the formal agreement. Zechariah 12 and Armageddon are what follows. The Trump “Board of Peace” is not a fulfillment in itself—but it is a pattern match. It mirrors Psalm 83 in spirit, structure, and intent: surrounding Israel with nations who speak peace while sharing a unified objective that ends with Israel diminished, constrained, or erased.

This is not anti-Trump commentary.
This is not pro-Trump commentary.

This is Bible commentary.

God has never needed permission from world leaders to keep His promises to Israel. And every time the nations gather to “solve” the Jewish problem, they only succeed in proving the Bible right—again. Psalm 83 is not ancient history, it’s a live template. And the silence Asaph pleaded about will not last forever.

President Donald Trump unveiled his “Board of Peace” at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, during a signing ceremony. Trump says the board, which is tasked with rebuilding Gaza and addressing global conflicts, would seek to work alongside the United Nations, despite his criticism that the organization has fallen short of its potential.

On this Midweek Update, Donald Trump backs down on Greenland at Davos and Yuval Noah Harari says AI will soon control the words of God

Donald Trump arrived in Davos today, 3 hours late due to a highly suspicious “electrical failure” aboard Air Force One, and instead of bringing the New World Order to its knees as Q and MAGA had predicted, he used his podium to assure Europe that the US military would not be taking over Greenland and that the punitive tariffs he was threatening would not be put in place. Thank God for whoever told him to step away from the ledge, but we’ll be back there soon enough. Yuval Noah Harari makes a prediction that AI will control the words of God, and we show you the viral video of him saying that. Lots going on in our Midweek Update!

INVEST IN PAPER: Antichrist Enabler Yuval Noah Harari Speaking At Davos Today Said That AI Will Take Control Of The Bible And The Written Words Of God

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

End times villain Yuval Noah Harari said today at the World Economic Forum in Davos that ‘AI will take control of the words of God’, challenge accepted

The enemies of God are out of the closet, bold and brazen, and today at the globalist World Economic Forum in Davos, one of our favorite end times villains, Yuval Noah Harari, declared that AI will take over and control the ‘words of God’ specifically mentioning the ones found in the Jewish Bible. Talk about a 21st-century version of “Yea, hath God said?”, Harari like Lucifer in Isaiah 14 is shaking his fist at God and literally daring Him to stop the AI takeover of His words. As we like to remind you, this world is preparing itself to receive the Antichrist, of whom Yuval Noah Harari would seem to be the forerunner.

The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.” Psalm 12:6,7 (KJB)

We have told you repeatedly over the past 6 years to ‘invest in paper’, why do we mean by that? Simply that since an EMP strike will render things like PDF files and e-Bibles useless in the blink of an eye, that  you should start building a library made up of bound, paper books with words printed on its pages in ink. Think about it. God could have used the most advanced technology in the Universe to preserve His words, but instead, He chose a book for His Book, hand inscribed or printed on paper. That’s what you should do, too. This is why we have a King James Bible Bookstore.

Israeli historian and philosopher Yuval Noah Harari on Tuesday warned that artificial intelligence could challenge book-based religions, saying AI is likely to take over “anything made of words.”

Speaking at the World Economic Forum 2026 Annual Meeting in Davos, Harari said AI is already better than many humans at organising and analysing language. As a result, he argued, systems built mainly on words could increasingly fall under the influence of AI. Focusing on Judaism, he noted that it calls itself as the “religion of the book” and places ultimate authority not in human experience, but in written words. He then raised a broader question about the future of faith in the age of artificial intelligence. “What happens to a religion of the book when the greatest expert on the holy book is an AI?” Harari asked.

Someone should tell him that the preserved words of God are sharper than a two-edged sword, more important than our necessary food, and will exist exactly how God spoke them for eternity. But I know this, after the Rapture of the Church when the strong delusion hits, it’s going to be Hell on Earth, a Hell in which AI will rule for 7 short years.
