Pastor's Point of View 431 - October 23, 2026

The world is shifting fast. Globalism is rising, nations are being reshaped, and America's foundations are under deliberate assault. From the UN's push for AI governance to historical revisionism erasing our heritage, the pieces are moving exactly as Bible prophecy foretold. Daniel 7:23 describes a final world government that will devour the whole earth. We are watching the seeds of that system being planted in real time. But rather than fear, Scripture gives us a promise to hold onto. Titus 2:13 points us to the blessed hope -- the return of Jesus Christ for His church before God's wrath falls on this world. Things are not falling apart. They are falling into place. If you have not placed your trust in Jesus Christ, today is the day. The believing will be leaving. Will you be among them? Watch Pastor's Point of View episode 431 for the full update.

In Him, Andy

I. Globalism

Nobody panic. The U.N. and its vast globalist elite bureaucracy is ready to claim central oversight, control, and administration of future artificial intelligence (AI) development to ease worries about the fast-developing science.

Secretary-General Antonio Guterres made the declaration Wednesday, warning world leaders AI poses ‌risks - known and unknown - that cannot be ignored.

The former Portuguese Socialist Prime Minister spoke after pushback from President Donald Trump who called threats that AI might destroy humanity...

When young adults stormed France's Bastille on Thursday, a little-known media outlet called BreakThrough News sent followers a "BREAKING" alert: "French students flood Bastille Square in Paris."

But that isn't the full story.

A Fox News Digital investigation has found that a transnational network of far-left communist and socialist organizations is seizing on France's fiery student protests to advance a wider political and ideological agenda, using tactics...

II. USA Decline

A. Islamization

CAIR Action says 63 of its endorsed candidates have advanced through Washington state's 2026 primary elections, touting the results as a major step toward converting the Muslim political advocacy group's electoral operation into "real policy change."

"63 of our endorsed candidates have officially won their primary races and are moving on to the General Election!" the organization announced in an email obtained by The Ari Hoffman Show following the primary. "Across the state, voters sent a clear message that our communities are ready for leaders grounded in justice, accountability...

A public interest law firm filed a lawsuit today against the city of Dearborn, Michigan, for allegedly establishing Islam as a religion in violation of the U.S. Constitution and civil rights laws. The American Freedom Law Center is pursuing the suit on behalf of Dearborn resident and Federalist Senior Legal Correspondent Margot Cleveland.

"The lawsuit alleges that City officials spent public funds and used City property to promote and celebrate the Islamic holy month of Ramadan while refusing Cleveland's repeated requests that the City extend the same recognition to Christian and Jewish holidays...

B. Historical Revisionism

"If you can cut the people off from their history, then they can be easily persuaded." -Karl Marx

Singer-songwriter Kacey Musgraves blasted Italian explorer Christopher Columbus shortly before Columbus Day.

As she spoke to the Texas crowd during her second night at American Airlines Center Sunday, Musgraves noted that the next day, Monday, was Columbus Day.

"Tomorrow's Monday? … Ew, that's right, wait, it's Columbus Day? It's what now?" she asked as the audience booed and corrected her, saying it is Indigenous...

In the latest example of colleges being a breeding ground for leftist indoctrination, Campus Reform is reporting "several colleges are choosing to observe 'Indigenous Peoples' Day' instead."

Columbus Day is the national holiday that the left prefers to stir up trouble wherever they can and cause division.

President Joe Biden declared "Indigenous Peoples' Day" a national holiday last...

Rep. Brandon Gill of Texas has triggered a whole bunch of lefties for simply writing a tweet about Christopher Columbus on Columbus Day.

When did it become controversial to celebrate Columbus Day and Christopher Columbus?

At some point in recent decades, the left decided that Columbus was an evil figure, who is responsible for the deaths of any native Americans who ever crossed paths with him. Of course, what it's really...

C. Uniparty

Flawed Texas senatorial candidate Ken Paxton is already riding a bumpy train to Congress, especially with a likeable and photogenic Democrat. But a series of damaging leaks of private conversations and public details of his marriage philandering is doing nothing to help things.

But now, NBC News says sources inside the Paxton campaign are certain the GOP old guard is also working to sabotage Paxton's race.

"There's no doubt on our end that John...

Cornyn allegedly said, "It's going to be hard to learn, but they need to know that their decisions have consequences. We need to make sure they understand it."

If any Republicans deserve to learn a lesson in an electoral defeat, it's John Cornyn and other Senate RINOs who prevented meaningful legislation from passing while Republicans were in control for the last year and a half.

This is the latest leak from a series of...

Republicans have had a majority in the U.S. Senate during the 18 months since taking back the chamber in 2024, coinciding with President Donald Trump's re-election.

Before that, the GOP held a majority from 2015 to 2021. Yet despite holding a majority for much of the last decade-plus across multiple White House administrations, Republicans in the Senate don't ever seem to accomplish much of anything

They can't and won't pass the SAVE Act...

In the months leading up to the March 3 primary, Senator John Cornyn appeared on my radio show more frequently than Ken Paxton did. The Senator's people were aware that my lane of conservatism was likely to place me among voters skeptical of his attempt at a fifth 6-year term, but to his credit, he showed up and answered every question, including those voiced by voters who were suspicious of his loyalty to President Trump, which struck many as election-season opportunism.

Former President George W. Bush and Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, rallied Republican donors behind GOP Senate candidates in key midterm races - while leaving Texas Republican nominee Ken Paxton out of the effort.

Cornyn hosted a Dallas fundraiser Monday for Republican Senate nominees across the country, with Bush appearing as a special guest, according to an invitation obtained by The New York Times.

The event benefits Maintain the Majority...

Longtime Republican political operative Karl Rove said his party is being taken over by "Nazis" and railed against the moral failings of U.S. Senate candidate Ken Paxton during a one-on-one interview at the Texas Tribune Festival over the weekend.

The former George W. Bush White House deputy chief of staff's criticism comes as Republicans grow increasingly concerned they may rack up serious setbacks in the 2026 midterms as Democrats, including...

Karl Rove looked at a picture of kids in burnt orange and decided the Republican was the emergency.

The former Bush strategist told a private Austin lunch he will vote for Democrat Jon Rosenthal for Texas railroad commissioner, The Texas Tribune reported, citing three attendees.

He called Republican nominee Bo French a "bigot." He said the last Democrat he backed was Lt. Gov. Bob Bullock in 1994.

The fuse was French's post after Texas beat Ohio State. He shared a student...

Former two-term GOP Kansas Governor Bill Graves (R) released a scathing video clip this week shredding incumbent Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) and endorsing Marshall's Democratic Party challenger Adam Hamilton.

"With our nation facing increasing partisan gridlock and division, it's time Kansas does something different. For the last six years, Senator Roger Marshall has turned his back on Kansas," Graves began in the clip, adding:
In contrast, Adam Hamilton stands as a bulwark of kindness, humility, and...
