HATRED !!!
Biblically speaking, there are positive and negative aspects to hatred. It is acceptable to hate those things that God hates; indeed, this is very much a proof of a right standing with God. “Let those who love the Lord hate evil” (Psalm 97:10a). Indeed, the closer our walk with the Lord and the more we fellowship with Him, the more conscious we will be of sin, both within and without. Do we not grieve and burn with anger when God’s name is maligned, when we see spiritual hypocrisy, when we see blatant unbelief and godless behavior? The more we understand God’s attributes and love His character, the more we will be like Him and the more we will hate those things that are contrary to His Word and nature.
However, the hatred that is negative surely has to be that which is directed against others. The Lord mentions hatred in the Sermon on the Mount: “But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment” (Matthew 5:22). The Lord commands that not only should we be reconciled with our brother before we go before the Lord, but also that we do it quickly (Matthew 5:23-26). The act of murder itself was certainly condemned, but hatred is a “heart” sin, and any hateful thought or act is an act of murder in God’s eyes for which justice will be demanded, possibly not in this life but at the judgment. So heinous is the position of hate before God that a man who hates is said to be walking in darkness, as opposed to the light (1 John 2:9, 11). The worst situation is that of a man who continues professing religion but remains at enmity with his brother. The Scriptures declare that such a person is a liar (1 John 4:20), and he may fool men, but not God. How many believers live for years pretending that all is well, putting on a front, only to be found finally wanting because they have harbored enmity (hatred) against a fellow believer?
Hatred is a poison that destroys us from within, producing bitterness that eats away at our hearts and minds. This is why the Scriptures tell us not to let a “root of bitterness” spring up in our hearts (Hebrews 12:15). Hatred also destroys the personal witness of a Christian because it removes him from fellowship with the Lord and other believers. Let us be careful to do as the Lord advised and keep short accounts with everyone about everything, no matter how small, and the Lord will be faithful to forgive, as He has promised (1 John 1:9; 2:1).
Tea Time Manna
Our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ.
—Philippians 3:20
No matter what any passport says, if we are a disciple of Jesus, there is no earthly country that can hold us, no borders that can fully claim us, and no flag that flies above us that can spiritually contain us. We belong to Jesus and are citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven. We have more in common with the believing aboriginal tribesman of Indonesia, the Christian refugees from Africa; the Bedouin brothers and sisters in Egypt; the Spirit-filled Brazilian housewife and her husband; the high-rise believing business person in Hong Kong; the thousands of believers in India, Pakistan, and Asia; and the hundreds of thousands of Christ-followers scattered throughout the Middle East and the Mediterranean Rim; than we have in common with your next-door neighbors if they don’t know Christ Jesus as their Lord and Savior. And because we are citizens of that holy and heavenly Kingdom, we eagerly await the arrival of our King and Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. So we live on tiptoe in this world, looking to the horizon, anticipating and awaiting the arrival of our coming King!
Prayer
Glorious God and Father, we look forward to the day when people, more people than any of us can count, folks from every nation, tribe, people, and language join the angels and elders around your throne and worship Jesus in joy, together forever (Revelation 7:9-11). Make all of your scattered children from all over our world one, as we await our Savior. We ask you Lord Jesus, please come quickly, and in your name, we pray. Amen and Amen
Bible Teaching of the Day
LUNCH MANNA =
Self-hatred, to varying degrees, is not uncommon, but hating oneself is not what God would have for us. The world would tell us that the solution to self-hatred is self-love. It offers various ways to conjure up this love and acceptance for self. While some are healthy practices, none are permanent solutions that speak to the depths of the needs of our souls. The Bible, on the other hand, tells us that the solution to self-hatred is having an accurate view of God and of oneself in light of who God is.
First, let’s understand what causes self-hatred. Some may arrive at self-hatred because they consider themselves losers who lack certain talents or resources (intelligence, personal connections, money, and influence). Anyone who accepts the idealized standards of beauty, success, and power as portrayed in the mass media—and fails to live up to those standards—may arrive at the unreasonable conclusion that he or she is not worthy of love and begin to sink into self-hatred. People may hate themselves because of the things they have done in their pasts, or they might hate themselves because of things with which they are currently struggling, like addiction or unhealthy relationships. In short, self-hatred results from not living up to standards either we or others have set for acceptability. In our recognition that we cannot be perfect, we may descend into self-hatred.
Biblically speaking, we know we are sinners who are separated from God (Romans 3:23; 6:23; Ephesians 2:1–5). There is a standard that we will have failed to live up to and will never be able to live up to on our own (Romans 3:20). Apart from God, we are without hope. But this is not cause to hate ourselves. Rather, it is cause to turn to God and to rely on His grace. He has made a way of salvation! God created humanity in His image (Genesis 1:27). He loves us, and we reflect Him. Though sin marred this image, God did not abandon us. Instead, He sent His Son, Jesus, who, though remaining fully God, took on human flesh. Jesus lived a perfect life. He then died to pay the penalty for our sin, and He rose again to prove His victory over sin and death (1 Corinthians 15:3–7; Romans 5:6–11; Philippians 2:5–11). All who put their faith in Him are saved (John 3:16–18; Romans 10:9). This is cause for great rejoicing! When we become a redeemed child of God, there is no reason to hate ourselves.
If you have not been reconciled with God and brought into personal relationship with Him through Jesus Christ, that is the first step in overcoming self-hatred. But we know that even those who have trusted Jesus as their Savior can struggle with hatred of self. What is the solution for that? Having a biblical view of who God is and who you are. Romans 12:1–2 says, “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Committing our lives to God in action and thought—having a renewed and transformed mind and living our lives for God—is how we overcome self-hatred.
What are some of the things the Bible says about who God is? God is holy, just, gracious, merciful, and compassionate (1 Peter 1:16; Psalm 103:8–12; Hebrews 6:10; Colossians 3:25; Nehemiah 9:31). He is the Creator, all-powerful, all-knowing, and ever-present. God is unchanging (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:5). God’s ways are above ours, and His Word accomplishes what He intends (Isaiah 55:8–11). God’s promises are true. God is love, and He loves you (1 John 4:7–10). Self-hatred is simply not compatible with this truth.
It has been quipped that “God made you on purpose and for a purpose.” Your life has meaning. God gives us many instructions in His Word about His will for our lives and how we are to live. Things like regularly studying the Bible and coming to God in prayer help us understand who God is and His heart for us. Our love for God and our trust in Him grows. Consequently, self-hatred wanes.
When we obey God’s Word, we orient our lives to truth. This will naturally result in focusing less on ourselves, the world’s perceptions, and our own false idols. It will also result in our more often saying no to sin—which is important because sin is a primary cause of self-hatred. When we do sin, the Bible tells us that we can come to God and receive forgiveness and mercy (1 John 1:9; Hebrews 4:14–16). It assures us that sin has been defeated and that we need no longer live in it or in hatred of ourselves over it. We can hate the sin within us, but we do not hate ourselves because in Jesus Christ there is no condemnation and nothing that can separate us from God’s love (Romans 7—8). When our minds and lives are steeped in truth, there is no room for self-hatred.
Doing things like actively loving others in our words and deeds, as God calls us to, helps us have an accurate view of ourselves. Serving others can actually contribute to our own well-being and thus remove opportunity for self-hatred to arise. Spending time regularly with other believers and exercising our spiritual gifts within the body of Christ also helps us have a better view of God and of self. Fellow believers are our family, and they can help us reject notions of self-hatred. Obeying God, both in loving Him and in loving others, is life-giving (see John 15:1–11).
The solution to self-hatred is so much deeper than mere worldly self-love. A person who knows and trusts God derives his or her worth from God. That worth is unchanging. The words of Ephesians 1:3–14 are true of anyone who has been born again in Jesus Christ. We have been blessed with every spiritual blessing (verse 3), so self-hatred due to perceived lack of ability is unfounded. We have been chosen to be holy and blameless in His sight (verse 4), redeemed (verse 7), and forgiven (verse 7); we need not hate ourselves due to guilt over past sin. We have been predestined for adoption as sons (verse 5) and marked with the seal of the indwelling Holy Spirit (verses 13–14); we are not alone. God “lavished” “the riches” of His grace on us (verses 7–8). God’s love for us “surpasses knowledge” (Ephesians 3:17–19). When we understand this type of acceptance and position in God, there is simply no room for self-hate.
Today’s Devotional
DINNER MANNA =
God hates sin because it is the very antithesis of His nature. The psalmist describes God’s hatred of sin this way: “For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; no evil dwells with You” (Psalm 5:4). God hates sin because He is holy; holiness is the most exalted of all His attributes (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8). His holiness totally saturates His being. His holiness epitomizes His moral perfection and His absolute freedom from blemish of any kind (Psalm 89:35; 92:15; Romans 9:14).
The Bible presents God’s attitude toward sin with strong feelings of hostility, disgust, and utter dislike. For example, sin is described as putrefying sores (Isaiah 1:6, NKJV), a heavy burden (Psalm 38:4), defiling filth (Titus 1:15; 2 Corinthians 7:1), a binding debt (Matthew 6:12-15), darkness (1 John 1:6) and a scarlet stain (Isaiah 1:18).
God hates sin for the simple reason that sin separates us from Him: “But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear” (Isaiah 59:2; see also Isaiah 13:11; Jeremiah 5:25). It was sin that caused Adam and Eve to run away from God and hide “among the trees of the garden” (Genesis 3:8). Sin always brings separation, and the fact that God hates sin means that He hates being separated from us. His love demands restoration, which in turn demands holiness.
God also hates sin because of its subtle deceitfulness which entices us to focus on worldly pleasure to the exclusion of God’s blessings. Those who have their sins forgiven can say, “You will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand” (Psalm 16:11). To pursue sin is to turn one’s back on the gifts of God, who has “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11). God’s hatred of sin implies that He loves His people and wants to bless them.
Another reason God hates sin is that it blinds us to the truth. Jesus likened false teachers to “blind leaders of the blind” (Matthew 15:14, NKJV). John said that the one who hates his brother “does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded him” (1 John 2:11). Sin has consequences which the sinner often disregards. “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows” (Galatians 6:7; see also Numbers 32:23). God hates sin for the same reason that light hates darkness and truth hates a lie. God wants His children to “have the full riches of complete understanding” (Colossians 2:2), and sin only gets in the way.
God hates sin because it enslaves us and will eventually destroy us. Just as Samson’s sin led to his physical blindness and captivity (Judges 16:21), our sin will lead to spiritual blindness and bondage. “don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey – whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness” (Romans 6:16). God is the source of life, and He will extend that life eternally to all who believe. Sin is a barrier to our reception of life, and that is one reason why God hates it.
God hates sin because it lessens our love for Him. The Bible says, “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world” (1 John 2:15-16). James warns us of the danger of embracing the world: “You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God” (James 4:4). No one can serve two masters (Luke 16:13), and we must choose between sin and righteousness.
As believers, we should hate sin as does God. We are “sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness” (1 Thessalonians 5:5). We must recognize that God has set us apart; we are “a holy nation, a people belonging to God” (1 Peter 2:9). We cannot become holy on our own, but God gives us His Holy Spirit to sanctify us (2 Thessalonians 2:13). We have His promise that He will help us in our struggle against sin (1 Corinthians 1:8).
We hate sin because it separates us from God. We hate it because it lessens our love and dulls our conscience, because it binds us and blinds us. We hate it because it grieves the Spirit of God (Ephesians 4:30). Our prayer to the Holy One is “May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thessalonians 5:23).
NEWS MANNA –
Disclosure Day: Are We Being Prepared For An Alien Savior?
“Disclosure” has become one of the most powerful narratives of our generation.
This week, the cultural fascination with extraterrestrial life received yet another major boost as Steven Spielberg’s highly anticipated film Disclosure Day opened in theaters, introducing millions of moviegoers to questions surrounding alien life, government secrecy, and humanity’s place in the universe. Combined with a steady stream of UFO documentaries, streaming series, podcasts, and social media discussions, the topic of non-human intelligence has never been more prominent in the public consciousness.
At the same time, the Department of War released yet another batch of declassified Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) files as part of its Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE). According to the department, its UFO disclosure website has already received a staggering 1.7 billion hits worldwide since launching in May.
Adding to the momentum, a new CBS News/YouGov poll reveals that belief in extraterrestrial life continues to surge. Sixty-three percent of Americans now believe intelligent life exists on other planets, up dramatically from previous decades. Nearly half expect humanity will eventually make contact with extraterrestrial beings, while one in five Americans already believes such contact has occurred.
Whether one believes the government’s disclosures represent genuine mysteries, advanced military technology, psychological operations, or something else entirely, one thing is undeniable: society is being conditioned to think about non-human intelligences on an unprecedented scale.
Movies, television shows, congressional hearings, Pentagon videos, whistleblower testimony, social media influencers, and now official government disclosures are all pushing the conversation into the mainstream.
For Christians, this raises an important question.
What if humanity discovers we are not alone?
The answer may surprise many people.
Biblically speaking, Christians have never believed we are alone in the universe.
Long before modern science contemplated extraterrestrial intelligence, Scripture revealed the existence of a vast spiritual realm populated by intelligent beings created by God.
The Bible describes angels, archangels, cherubim, seraphim, living creatures around God’s throne, and countless heavenly hosts carrying out divine assignments.
Some angels function as messengers. Others serve as warriors. Some appear to oversee nations. Others worship continually before God’s throne.
The prophet Isaiah describes seraphim with six wings crying out, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts.” Ezekiel describes extraordinary living creatures unlike anything found on Earth. Revelation expands the picture further, revealing heavenly beings surrounding God’s throne in continual worship.
The biblical worldview is already far bigger and stranger than most modern depictions of extraterrestrial life.
Christians do not need aliens to explain mysterious non-human intelligences.
God has already revealed the existence of an unseen realm.
The Bible also records the greatest rebellion in cosmic history.
Lucifer, once a glorious heavenly being, rebelled against God and led a portion of the angelic host into rebellion with him. These fallen angels became what we commonly refer to as demons.
Genesis 6 introduces another mysterious episode involving the Nephilim, where “sons of God” interacted with humanity in a way that produced widespread corruption before the flood.
While Christians debate the exact interpretation of these passages, the larger point remains clear: the Bible repeatedly warns that spiritual beings can influence human affairs and that not every supernatural manifestation originates from God.
That warning becomes especially important when we examine biblical prophecy concerning the last days.
Jesus warned repeatedly that deception would become one of the defining characteristics of the end times.
“Take heed that no man deceive you.”
Those words appear again and again throughout Christ’s teachings.
The Apostle Paul warned of a coming “strong delusion” that would deceive many. Revelation describes astonishing signs, wonders, and supernatural displays that will convince much of the world to follow the Beast and the False Prophet.
This is where the modern UFO narrative becomes particularly interesting.
What happens if humanity is eventually presented with undeniable evidence of advanced non-human intelligences?
What happens if those beings claim to have created humanity?
What if they deny the biblical account of creation?
What if they present themselves as humanity’s saviors?
What if they offer solutions to global conflict, climate concerns, technological challenges, or even death itself?
Would a secular world be more likely to embrace such beings than the God of Scripture?
Many Christians have long wondered whether an extraterrestrial explanation could someday be used to explain away biblical truths or justify a new global spiritual system.
After all, Revelation’s False Prophet is described as performing astonishing miracles that persuade the world to follow the Antichrist.
The Bible says he will call fire down from heaven and deceive those who dwell on the earth through supernatural signs.
Imagine those events unfolding in a world already conditioned to expect advanced non-human intelligences.
Imagine a generation raised on decades of alien disclosure suddenly witnessing miraculous displays from a charismatic global leader.
Could people conclude that humanity has finally made contact with superior beings?
Could such manifestations be interpreted as proof of extraterrestrial intervention?
Scripture does not explicitly say this will happen.
But it does repeatedly warn that the final deception will be global in scale and supernatural in nature.
The Antichrist himself is described as being empowered directly by Satan. Some theologians even speculate that he may become uniquely possessed by satanic power in a manner unlike any previous world ruler.
Whatever the exact details, the Bible leaves little doubt that the coming deception will be persuasive enough to fool billions.
That is why Christians should approach today’s disclosure movement with both discernment and humility.
We should not fear every unexplained object in the sky.
Nor should we blindly accept every official narrative presented to us.
Instead, we should remember that Scripture already tells us there is more to reality than the physical world we can see.
A spiritual realm exists.
Angels exist.
Demons exist.
God’s kingdom is real.
And so is spiritual deception.
As governments release more files, blockbuster films draw millions into conversations about extraterrestrial life, and public fascination with non-human intelligence grows, Christians should remember that our ultimate authority is not Pentagon reports, congressional hearings, Hollywood productions, or viral UFO footage.
It is the Word of God.
The greatest question facing humanity is not whether intelligent life exists beyond Earth.
The Bible settled that long ago.
The real question is whether we will recognize truth when the ultimate deception finally arrives.
The Spiritual Impact Of A Generation That No Longer Reads
A quiet crisis is unfolding across America, and unlike many of the cultural battles that dominate headlines, this one receives surprisingly little attention.
The next generation is losing the ability to read deeply, think critically, and comprehend complex ideas.
That may sound dramatic, but educators across the country are sounding the alarm. What they are witnessing in classrooms is not merely a decline in test scores. It is a fundamental shift in how young people process information and engage with the written word.
College literature instructor Tyler Jagt recently described how his students struggled to complete a simple 20-page article. Not a novel. Not a lengthy textbook chapter. A 20-page article.
Some students admitted they repeatedly lost track of the author’s main points before reaching the end. Others relied on AI-generated summaries rather than reading the material themselves. What once would have been considered a routine assignment has become an overwhelming challenge for many incoming college students.
The data confirms what educators are seeing.
According to the 2024 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), reading scores among American 12th graders have fallen to their lowest levels since tracking began in 1992. Nearly one-third of graduating seniors scored below the basic reading level.
The numbers become even more alarming among younger students. The Annie E. Casey Foundation reports that roughly 70 percent of fourth graders are not reading proficiently. That represents nearly two million children who are struggling with a skill that forms the foundation of every other area of learning.
Some major urban school districts report even more concerning outcomes. In cities such as Baltimore, Detroit, and Cleveland, large percentages of students fail to meet grade-level reading standards. In certain schools, fewer than 10 percent of students demonstrate reading proficiency. While the exact numbers vary by district and year, the broader trend is undeniable.
America has a reading crisis.
The causes are not difficult to identify.
For generations, children grew up reading books, newspapers, magazines, and lengthy articles. Reading was not merely an academic exercise; it was entertainment. Students consumed hundreds of pages of novels throughout the year and built the mental muscles necessary for concentration and comprehension.
Today, many young people consume information almost exclusively through short-form videos, social media clips, memes, and AI-generated summaries.
Why struggle through a chapter when a 60-second video promises the same information?
The problem is that it doesn’t.
Reading is not simply a method of acquiring facts. Reading develops attention span. It strengthens memory. It builds vocabulary. It teaches reasoning. It trains the brain to follow complex arguments and connect ideas over extended periods of time.
Video content excels at delivering information quickly. Reading excels at teaching people how to think.
Those are not the same thing.
The consequences are already beginning to appear.
At the educational level, colleges are increasingly forced to lower expectations or provide remedial support for students who arrive unprepared for traditional academic work.
At the workforce level, employers increasingly complain that younger workers struggle with written communication, technical manuals, reports, contracts, and detailed instructions.
At the societal level, the implications become even more troubling.
A population that cannot carefully read and analyze information becomes more vulnerable to manipulation. Complex issues are reduced to slogans. Nuance disappears. Emotional reactions replace thoughtful analysis.
When people lose the ability to engage with lengthy arguments, public discourse naturally becomes shallower.
This may help explain why modern debates often generate more outrage than understanding.
There is also an economic dimension.
Many of the highest-paying careers still depend heavily upon advanced reading comprehension. Lawyers analyze documents. Engineers study technical specifications. Medical professionals absorb vast quantities of research. Business leaders evaluate contracts, reports, and market analysis.
Strong readers gain access to opportunities that weaker readers often cannot.
In many ways, reading remains one of the greatest economic advantages a person can develop.
Yet perhaps the most overlooked consequence is the spiritual one.
For Christians, this crisis strikes at the heart of discipleship itself.
God chose to reveal Himself primarily through a written book.
The Bible contains history, poetry, prophecy, wisdom literature, letters, parables, apocalyptic visions, and theological instruction. Understanding Scripture requires careful reading, reflection, comparison, interpretation, and meditation.
A five-minute devotional video cannot replace that.
Neither can listening to a sermon once a week.
Pastors can teach. Podcasts can encourage. Christian influencers can inspire.
But none of them can substitute for personally opening God’s Word and studying it for yourself.
The Bereans in Acts were praised because they searched the Scriptures daily to verify what they were being taught. They were not passive consumers of religious content. They were active students of God’s Word.
That requires reading.
It requires concentration.
It requires the ability to follow arguments across chapters, understand context, compare passages, and think deeply about truth.
If the next generation loses those skills, they become increasingly dependent on others to tell them what the Bible says rather than discovering it themselves.
That is a dangerous place for any believer to be.
Perhaps this is why Bible literacy continues to decline even among churchgoers. Many Christians consume endless amounts of content about Scripture while spending very little time actually reading Scripture.
The solution is neither complicated nor easy.
We must read again.
Parents need to prioritize books over screens. Schools need to restore reading fundamentals. Churches need to encourage Bible engagement beyond Sunday mornings.
Most importantly, individuals must reclaim the discipline of sustained reading.
The ability to sit quietly with a book, wrestle with ideas, and follow a thought from beginning to end may seem old-fashioned in an age of endless scrolling.
But it remains one of the most powerful skills a person can possess.
A society that stops reading eventually loses the ability to think deeply.
And a church that stops reading God’s Word risks forgetting the very truths that gave it life in the first place.
Spielberg’s New Film Asks If Aliens Would Shatter Faith. The Bible Already Answered That Question.
Steven Spielberg has spent half a century making movies about aliens. At 79, his latest — Disclosure Day, opening June 12 — may be the most theologically charged of them all. The film, starring Emily Blunt and Josh O’Connor, follows a Kansas City weather personality who suddenly speaks foreign languages she has never learned and a rogue cybersecurity expert racing to release a massive trove of classified government UFO files. But the real story Spielberg wants to tell is about God.
“The movie also takes the position of the church,” Spielberg told CBS News. “What does this do to the fundamental beliefs that many of us have? Is God our God only on this planet, or is God a God for every system where there’s civilization, intelligent life, and even developing life?” One character in the film, a former Roman Catholic nun, warns that people will see the aliens as deities and “stop believing in God.” The villain, played by Colin Firth, is a Pharaoh-like corporate tyrant devoted to keeping humanity ignorant — a figure drawn, consciously or not, from the pages of Exodus.
The film arrives at a culturally combustible moment. The U.S. government recently launched a UFO website and declassified UAP files, and the White House briefly teased a sci-fi-branded aliens.gov that turned out to be a site for tracking illegal immigrants. Politics and entertainment are blurrier than ever.
Spielberg is not hiding his personal convictions. In his CBS News interview, he said flatly: “I absolutely think that they have been here, and they are here.” He described Disclosure Day as “a summation of my life in science fiction,” rooted in what he calls a “foundation of truth” — not fiction, not speculation, but something he treats as settled. The 2017 New York Times tic-tac video, the 2023 House Oversight Committee testimonies under oath, decades of consistent eyewitness accounts — for Spielberg, the cumulative weight is overwhelming.
The reaction from religious communities was swift and, notably, far less panicked than Spielberg seems to have expected.
A clip of Spielberg’s remarks went viral on X, framed as a claim that extraterrestrial disclosure would shake Christian faith. Many users pushed back hard. “No, it won’t. Hollywood is obsessed with the idea that the discovery of aliens will rock Christian faith. It’s weird,” said Christian podcaster Josh Daws. “The only people who think the existence of aliens would mess with Christianity are non-Christians who don’t understand the first thing about Christianity,” said Eric Sammons, editor-in-chief of Crisis Magazine.
CBN’s Billy Hallowell noted that what people identify as “aliens” may actually be phenomena rooted in the spiritual realm — angels and demons. He pointed out that the Bible focuses on the salvation of human beings: Jesus came to die and save people, not other creatures or entities.
Christian author and UFO researcher L.A. Marzulli called the film “very disturbing,” arguing that Spielberg is “filmically signaling” a coming global event. “Cling to Jesus,” Marzulli urged. “Understand that what was foretold is unfolding. Do not be deceived.”
One Christian reviewer who attended a press screening noted something unexpected: unlike films on similar themes from the 2000s and 2010s that would have placed Christians firmly on the side of bigotry and fear, in Disclosure Day Christians are without exception portrayed in a positive light. The theologically grounded nun character, Sister Maura, ultimately steers the more fearful ex-novitiate toward confidence rather than panic — a portrayal reviewers across the spectrum found surprisingly generous.
Jewish tradition, it turns out, had already grappled with this question long before Spielberg reached for his iPad to write the story. Jewish scholars have contemplated extraterrestrial life and concluded it poses no theological crisis. As one rabbi put it plainly: the discovery of extraterrestrial beings “would pose no more of a threat to Judaism than would the discovery of a new species of rabbit. It would be limiting God’s power to say that He could not have placed life on other planets.” Notably, the Talmud itself identifies a place called Meroz, referenced in Judges 5:23, as a star — and treats it as inhabited.
Kabbalistic and traditional Torah texts, including Rabbi Pinchas Eliyahu Horowitz’s Sefer HaBris, entertain the idea of advanced, “super-intelligent” beings dwelling on other planets.
Exotheology is a word that sends the etymological geek-meter spinning, and very few can claim to have even a passing knowledge of this esoteric field. Dr. David Weintraub, professor of astronomy at Vanderbilt University and the author of Religions and Extraterrestrial Life: How Will We Deal With It?, is uniquely qualified to answer questions on the subject. His book presents a staggering array of opinions, ranging from Aristotle’s premise that extraterrestrials cannot possibly exist, to the more recent Enrico Fermi, who, over 600 years later, came to the same conclusion.
Dr Weintraub reassured Breaking Israel News that Judaism is spiritually prepared for little green men.
“Judaism accepts the possibility of extraterrestrial life. At this level, Judaism is similar to most, but not all other major religions. A few other religions clearly demand and embrace the idea that extraterrestrial life exists. Except for a few extreme kabbalistic interpretations of a few passages in the Talmud, Judaism does not go that far,” he said.
The professor states that Jewish theology may actually require a belief in extraterrestrials since “there are no limits on the power of the creator. Thus, for Jews to say that no life beyond the Earth could possibly exist would be unacceptable, as such an idea would appear to place shackles on God’s creative power…the universe belongs to God (or is God) and God can do what God wishes to do with the universe.”
The film’s final word — spoken by an alien — is “listen.” Spielberg is drawing unmistakably from Shema Yisrael, the declaration that stands at the center of Jewish life: “Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is One” (Deuteronomy 6:4). The Shema is not a call to doubt. It is a call to attention. The God of Israel is not diminished by a large universe. He made it.
The deepest irony of Disclosure Day is that the question Spielberg poses — would the discovery of other intelligence unsettle everything we believe? — was answered definitively by the prophet Isaiah thousands of years ago. “I am God, and there is none else” (Isaiah 45:22). Not “none else on this planet.” None else. The scope of creation does not threaten the Creator.
Spielberg himself has attributed his fascination with aliens partly to his Jewish identity and his childhood experiences of being “othered” — a sense of solidarity with fantastic beings from elsewhere. That instinct is authentically Jewish. But the tradition he comes from already knew: a God vast enough to create the cosmos is not rattled by what the cosmos contains.
THE REAL MAGOG – Erdoğan’s neo-Ottoman war on Israel
Washington cannot continue treating Erdoğan as an indispensable ally and harmless irritant.
On June 10, 2026, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan told Justice and Development Party lawmakers that Israeli operations in Lebanon and Syria “also threaten Turkey.”
He tied Ankara’s security to Beirut and Damascus and declared that Israel’s “aggression” endangers the world and “must be stopped.” This was not an isolated outburst.
It echoed his earlier threat that Turkey might intervene against Israel, “just as we entered Karabakh and Libya.”
Erdoğan’s dictatorial rhetoric has crossed from theater into doctrine. Israel should treat it accordingly.
For decades, Jerusalem concentrated on Iran: nuclear breakout, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps proxies, Hezbollah missiles, Hamas tunnels, and violence culminating with the October 7, 2023, massacre.
That threat remains existential. But Erdoğan’s Turkey is the next structural challenge.
Unlike the mullahs’ regime, Turkey sits inside the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
It possesses a large army, a growing drone industry, Western technology, and leverage over alliance decisions. Ankara is hostile with institutional cover.
The danger begins with ideology. Erdoğan does not treat Hamas as a terrorist organization. He has called its members “mujahideen” and “liberation fighters.”
Turkey has hosted Hamas figures, allowed political activity, and tolerated fundraising networks.
This reflects the ruling Justice and Development Party’s Muslim Brotherhood roots and Erdoğan’s ambition to lead political Islam.
The geopolitical picture is no less troubling. Turkey’s “Blue Homeland” doctrine claims roughly 462,000 square kilometers of maritime space across the Black Sea, Aegean, and Eastern Mediterranean.
It challenges Greek, Cypriot, and Israeli interests while threatening the energy architecture that could bind the Eastern Mediterranean to Europe.
Erdoğan’s naval intimidation near Cyprus, entrenchment in northern Syria, intervention in Libya, drone support for Azerbaijan, and pressure on Greece are not disconnected adventures; they are neo-Ottoman revisionism.
NATO membership magnifies the problem. Turkey fields the alliance’s second-largest army, a substantial defense budget, upgraded F-16s, submarines, drones, and an expanding defense industry.
It also hosts an estimated several dozen American B61 nuclear bombs at Incirlik, though their status remains officially unconfirmed. Erdoğan exploits the alliance when useful and obstructs it when convenient.
That makes Turkey particularly dangerous. Iran attacks through proxies and deniability. Ankara can operate through proxies, too, but also with conventional forces, diplomacy, migration pressure, energy leverage, and NATO procedure.
It can threaten Israel from Syria, squeeze Greece and Cyprus at sea, empower Hamas politically, and then accuse Jerusalem of destabilization.
Jerusalem’s answer must be qualitative superiority, strategic depth, and deterrence by denial and punishment.
Erdoğan must understand that any direct Turkish move against Israel, any Turkey-backed escalation from Syria or Lebanon, or any attempt to coerce Israeli energy routes would produce costs beyond the battlefield.
The first layer is regional architecture. Israel should strengthen its partnerships with Greece and Cyprus into a security framework with joint exercises, shared intelligence, anti-submarine cooperation and air-defense coordination, port access, and energy protection.
Greece and Cyprus should join the Abraham Accords as full members. Their accession would weld the existing Accords states to NATO’s southern flank, recruit India’s growing naval and economic reach, and rally willing European partners

Bonus Manna = Bonus Teaching for the Child of God !!
In Matthew 5:43, Jesus challenges a common teaching of His day: “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’” This verse appears in the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus reinterprets many familiar teachings and elevates the moral expectations of His followers. But where did the saying “Love your neighbor and hate your enemy” come from?
The first part of this teaching, “Love your neighbor,” originates directly from the Old Testament. In Leviticus 19:18, God commands, “Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.” This command was foundational to the ethical life of ancient Israel and shaped much of the moral instruction in Jewish society.
In its original context, neighbor was generally understood to mean “one’s fellow Israelite” or “member of the covenant community.” The command to love one’s neighbor as oneself was a call to seek the welfare of others within the shared religious and national identity of Israel. The command was clear: instead of holding grudges or seeking revenge, people were called to extend love, compassion, and fairness to their fellow Israelites.
There are glimpses in the Old Testament of the idea of neighbor love being broadened. For instance, in Leviticus 19:34, God commands, “The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt.” This command expands the definition of neighbor to include even those outside of Israel’s covenant community, particularly the vulnerable or marginalized.
However, by the time of Jesus, many in Israel interpreted neighbor more narrowly, excluding foreigners, Gentiles, or perceived enemies. This limited interpretation made it easier to justify hostility or hatred toward those not part of their group.
Unlike the command to “love your neighbor,” there is no explicit Old Testament command to “hate your enemy.” However, Israel’s tumultuous history may have contributed to an attitude of hatred toward enemies. The Israelites were frequently at war with neighboring nations, and some Old Testament texts describe actions that seem harsh by modern standards. For example, in Deuteronomy 7:2, God instructs Israel to destroy the Canaanite nations and show them no mercy. Such passages focused on the preservation of Israel’s holiness and may have influenced a mindset that viewed enemies with contempt and hatred.
Additionally, certain psalms express a strong emotional response toward the enemies of God. In Psalm 139:21–22, David writes, “Do I not hate those who hate you, Lord, and abhor those who are in rebellion against you? I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies.” This psalm reflects the intensity of righteous indignation against those who oppose God and may have given rise to the teaching that hatred toward personal enemies was justified.
While these Old Testament texts express strong language about enemies, they are not commands to harbor personal hatred. Instead, they reflect moments in Israel’s history or specific attitudes toward the enemies of God. Over time, however, some Jewish teachers and interpreters may have taken these ideas to mean that hating one’s enemies was permissible or even virtuous, especially in contrast to the command to love fellow Israelites.
In Matthew 5:43–44, Jesus acknowledges this common belief: “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” Here, Jesus completely overturns the accepted norms of His day. Rather than limiting love to one’s immediate community and allowing hatred for enemies, Jesus commands a revolutionary love that extends even to those who oppose or harm us.
