    Franklin Graham compares Trump to Biblical Esther; Hegseth: “Iran begged for this ceasefire”; Public school fully embraces Muslim holidays, but calls Easter ‘Spring break’

    It’s Monday, April 13th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I’m Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Pakistani Muslim threatened to kill Christian woman for not converting On Easter Sunday, in Muslim-majority Pakistan, police arrested a Muslim man accused of threatening to kill a Christian woman if she refused to convert to Islam and marry him, reports Morning Star News. Imran Masih in the Sahiwal District, said his 20-year-old niece, Laiba Javed, received a handwritten note from Rehman Irfan on April 2nd demanding that she convert to Islam and marry him by April 15th. In the note, Irfan warned that he would have her killed if she refused. Laiba, who works in Lahore, had returned to her ancestral village to celebrate Easter with relatives when she received the note. Masih said, “Irfan, [the Muslim man] who is a former schoolmate of Laiba, came to our house with two armed accomplices when she was alone. He handed her a letter at gunpoint stating that he loved her and would go to any extent to marry her after converting her.” Not exactly the typical romantic gesture. Laiba immediately informed her family, who approached police. They booked him for issuing threats. Not surprisingly, she has since left the village due to safety concerns, though they remain worried about her security. According to a study by the Lahore-based Center for Social Justice, 515 cases of abduction and forced conversion involving minority women and girls were reported between 2021 and 2025. Hindu girls accounted for 69 percent or 353 cases, followed by Christian girls at 31 percent or 160 cases, while two cases involved Sikh victims. Additionally, more than half of the victims were between 14 and 18 years old, and about 20 percent were under 14. Religiously speaking, 96% of the Pakistani population is Muslim. Open Doors has documented that Pakistan is the eighth most oppressive country worldwide for Christians. Hegseth: “Iran begged for this ceasefire” On April 8th, War Secretary Pete Hegseth said Operation Epic Fury was a resounding success. HEGSETH: “Iran begged for this ceasefire, and we all know it. As the president 'truthed' this morning, ‘A big day for world peace.’ “Iran wants it to happen. They've had enough. Operation: Epic Fury was a historic and overwhelming victory on the battlefield, a capital ‘V’ military victory.” Iran peace talks underway as Vance arrives in Pakistan President Donald Trump said that talks with Iran have begun, adding that global oil shipping is finding alternatives to the Strait of Hormuz, reports NewsNation.com. Trump predicted the strait would reopen in the “not too distant future.” He warned that if negotiations do not go well, the U.S. is prepared to “reset,” saying, “We’re ready to go.” The negotiations between the United States and Iran in Islamabad, Pakistan, on ending the six-week conflict are the first face-to-face talks between the two nations since 1979. Vice President J.D. Vance is leading the U.S. delegation, which also includes special Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff; Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner; and deputy national security adviser Dr. Andy Baker. Franklin Graham compares Trump to Biblical Esther On Easter Sunday, Rev. Franklin Graham prayed a powerful prayer at the White House as President Donald Trump stood behind him. GRAHAM: “Father, You tell us in the book of Esther that the Persians, the Iranians, were wanting to kill every Jew -- woman, child -- and do it all in one day. But You raised up Esther to save the Jewish people, Father, we thank you. “Today, the Iranians, the wicked regime of this government, wants to kill every Jew and destroy them with an atomic fire. But You have raised up President Trump. You've raised him up for such a time as this. And Father, we pray that You'll give him victory.” In Esther 4:14, Esther’s guardian Mordecai, concerned about the fate of the Jews in light of Haman’s threats, said, “For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” Franklin Graham concluded his prayer at the White House with these words. GRAHAM: “Father, we pray for our military that you'd watch over and protect them. Father, we pray for the people of Iran who want freedom to be set free from these Islamic lunatics. “Father, we thank you for Your Son, Jesus Christ, who came to this earth to take our sins, that He died and shed His blood on a cross for our sins, that He was buried. He took our sins to the grave, but You raised Him to life. Father, we thank You and we praise You, and we give You the glory. Father, protect President Trump. We pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen.” Public school fully embraces Muslim Holidays, calls Easter ‘...

  • Rev Robert Jeffress: “The America as we know it will cease to exist”; New evidence reveals deep pro-abortion bias at Biden’s DOJ; Maunday Thursday Massacre: Muslims killed 43 Christians in Congo

    Rev Robert Jeffress: “The America as we know it will cease to exist”; New evidence reveals deep pro-abortion bias at Biden’s DOJ; Maunday Thursday Massacre: Muslims killed 43 Christians in Congo
    Apr 10 2026
    It’s Friday, April 10th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I’m Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Maunday Thursday Massacre: Muslims killed 43 Christians in Congo On April 2nd, the Islamic Allied Democratic Forces killed dozens of Christians in Mambasa Territory located in the Democratic Republic of Congo, reports International Christian Concern. The attack in the African nation occurred on Maundy Thursday, a day during Holy Week when Christians remember the Last Supper. A religious freedom advocate, who wanted to remain anonymous for safety purposes, said, “The initial death toll of 43 may rise further; some victims were burned inside their homes, and others are still in the bush. The attackers surprised the population in their sleep. The victims were killed by gunfire, and several were beheaded with machetes. The images are unbearable.” In Revelation 6:9-10, “When [Jesus] opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the Word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, ‘How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until You judge the inhabitants of the Earth and avenge our blood?’” White House envoy to Netanyahu: Stop bombing Lebanon Iran's new Supreme Leader issued a chilling message after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was scolded by U.S. President Donald Trump for nearly jeopardizing the shaky ceasefire. On Wednesday, Prime Minister Netanyahu held a phone call between President Trump and White House envoy Steve Witkoff, according to Axios. Witkoff reportedly told Netanyahu to “calm down” the strikes in Lebanon and open peace negotiations. Amid Trump’s two-week ceasefire with Iran, Israel has continued to bombard urban population centers in Lebanon, including Beirut, killing and injuring civilians. Trump's request came as the United States prepares to meet with Iranian leaders in Pakistan to negotiate an end to the war. Iran claims Lebanon was part of the ceasefire deal with the U.S. and is now threatening to abandon peace talks and keep the Strait of Hormuz closed unless Israel stops attacking its proxy, Hezbollah, in the region. However, U.S. and Israeli diplomats deny that the ceasefire with the Iranian Islamic regime applies to Netanyahu's ground offensive against Lebanon. Rev Robert Jeffress: “The America as we know it will cease to exist” Pastor Robert Jeffress says that his upcoming sermon on the United States’ 250th anniversary won’t be the “typical flag-waving, rah-rah patriotic service” some might expect, reports The Christian Post. Instead, Jeffress, senior pastor of First Baptist Dallas, said the special July 4th sermon will be entitled, "America at the Crossroads: Can We Survive Another 250 Years?" He explained, “We have experienced God’s blessing for 250 years because of our strong Christian foundation. Ultimately, we know from Scripture that America as we know it will cease to exist, certainly by the last years of Earth’s history, known as the Great Tribulation.” According to Jeffress, the book of Revelation describes an America, in those final years before the return of the Lord Jesus Christ, in which there will be “no freedom of press, no freedom of assembly, no freedom of religion, no freedom of commerce, which means the United States, as we know it, will have ceased to exist since we will be under the rule of a one leader dictator, commonly known as Antichrist. So that’s the future. We don’t know when it’s going to happen, but it is going to happen eventually.” Despite the grim outlook, Jeffress emphasized that his upcoming sermon is “not a fatalistic message,” but rather points to the present responsibility of Christians, drawing from Deuteronomy 30. Rev. Jeffress added, “We as a nation have a choice. We can experience God’s blessings right now or God’s curses right now.” He gave a list of four things we can do to secure such blessings: take a stand, cast a vote, say a prayer, and share the Gospel. He explained, “I think that’s why Jesus called us to be both salt and light. Salt in Jesus’ day was a preservative. It didn’t prevent the decay of meat, but it delayed the decay of meat. It gave the meat a longer shelf life. And, in the same way, we as Christians, in a pagan world, are to be an influence, not that we’re going to prevent the ultimate demise of our culture, but we can delay it.” New evidence reveals deep pro-abortion bias at Biden’s DOJ A nearly 60-page report from the Trump Department of Justice contains “evidence of collusion and unethical behavior” between the Biden-era DOJ and pro-abortion entities, including the National Abortion Federation, reports LifeSiteNews.com. According to MS Now, formerly known as MSNBC, the draft says, “Upon assuming office, the Biden DOJ shattered the public’s ...

    “A Great Awakening” Christian film in theaters thru April 16; Texas court greenlights Christian evangelism near mosque; Cuba pardoned 2,000 prisoners before Easter
    Apr 9 2026
    It’s Thursday, April 9th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I’m Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Nicaragua officials violated religious freedom 309 times in 2025 Last year, the government of Nicaragua imposed increasing restrictions on religious leaders. This is according to a new report from Christian Solidarity Worldwide. The report documented 309 violations of freedom of religion or belief in 2025. That’s up from 222 cases in 2024. Over 100 of the cases last year involved Protestant Christians. Anna Lee Stangl with Christian Solidarity Worldwide said, “While in some ways the regime has changed its strategies – releasing political prisoners into house arrest as opposed to forcing them into exile, for example – its primary goal remains the same: to control, co-opt or eliminate anyone it deems a threat to its authority and survival.” But, in Matthew 16:18, Jesus said, “On this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.” Cuba pardoned 2,000 prisoners before Easter The government of Cuba announced pardons for over 2,000 prisoners last week ahead of Resurrection Sunday. Those released included young people, women, and people over the age of 60. The pardons follow significant pressure from the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump. This marks the fifth prisoner release by Cuba’s communist regime since 2011. The pardons have benefited over 10,000 people, including political prisoners and pastors. Mexico’s “Day of the Unborn Girl and Boy” The Mexican state of Aguascalientes designated March 25 as the “Day of the Unborn Girl and Boy.” The central state is the first state in the country to establish such a day for promoting pro-family policies. At the federal level, Mexico has decriminalized the killing of unborn babies. Some states have moved to protect babies while others support abortion. Texas court greenlights Christian evangelism near mosque In the United States, a Texas court recently allowed Christians to continue evangelizing near a mosque. The East Plano Islamic Center filed a lawsuit last October to silence Christians who were sharing their faith on public property nearby. However, the state court dismissed the lawsuit last month. The law firm representing the Christians stated, “This lawsuit was an extraordinary demand … to ban missionaries from peacefully … preaching the Gospel. We are grateful that the Court recognized that such demands are a serious challenge to our country’s core values of free speech and freedom of religion.” Regular church attenders most likely to be generous Charitable giving among evangelical Protestants is stabilizing according to a new report from Infinity Concepts. The report found 62 percent of Evangelicals gave to church last year. That’s down from 74 percent in 2020 but slightly up from 61 percent in 2024. In terms of church attendance, those who attend weekly were the most likely to give to church. 2 Corinthians 9:7 says, “So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.” Stock market up and oil prices down The U.S. stock market surged and oil prices fell yesterday. This came after President Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran on Tuesday. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq stock market indexes were up by over two percent. And the price of U.S. crude oil dropped by over 15% to about $95 per barrel. That’s down from $117 on Tuesday. Still, oil prices are up 65 percent compared to the start of the year. “A Great Awakening” Christian film in theaters thru April 16 And finally, the movie “A Great Awakening” opened in theaters on Good Friday. The historical Christian film hit number six at the box office. Sight & Sound Films released the movie in honor of America’s 250th anniversary. The movie is based on the true story of the unlikely friendship between Reverend George Whitefield and founding father Benjamin Franklin. Whitefield’s voice was so clear and robust that he was able to speak to thousands without amplification. Franklin was a doubter. FRANKLIN: “I am doubting Whitefield's claim that he can be heard and understood by so many. Without evidence, I won't believe it.” WHITEFIELD: “Let us proclaim freedom to the captives. Whom the Son sets free is free indeed.” WITNESS 1: “Have you ever heard a voice like that?” WITNESS 2: “A blast from Heaven.” WHITEFIELD: “Benjamin Franklin.” FRANKLIN: “Reverend Whitefield. Partnering with me would guarantee the maximum benefit to your cause.” WHITEFIELD: “A match made in Heaven.” FRANKLIN: “Or just a deal made in a print shop.” WHITEFIELD: “You have promoted the greatest awakening these colonies have ever seen.” Joshua Enck with Sight & Sound Ministries said, “As we approach America's 250th ...
