Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day, a day where we remember that very dark time in world history known as the Holocaust where approximately 6 million Jews were killed by Hitler and his Nazi regime. To help listeners maintain a balanced, biblical view on this subject, Crosstalk welcomed back Dr. Richard Schmidt. Dr. Schmidt is pastor of Union Grove Baptist Church, and founder of Prophecy Focus Ministries. He's the speaker on the weekly TV program, "Prophecy Focus" and the radio broadcast, "Prophecy Unfolding."According to Dr. Schmidt, if we go back to Genesis we see Abraham had a son named Isaac. Isaac, in turn, had a son named Jacob whose name was changed to Israel. This is the foundation of who the Jewish people are. God called them his chosen/covenant people. Then in the (unconditional) Abrahamic Covenant God said that he would bless those who bless the Jewish people and curse those who curse them. This is still in effect today and will continue that way through the prophetic future.Moving up the timeline, what were the events that led to the Holocaust? Why were the Jews targeted by Hitler? Was Martin Luther an antisemite? What is supersessionism? What made Hitler's form of nationalism unique? What was Hitler's "Final Solution"? These and other questions are answered by Dr. Schmidt and callers had their opportunity to weigh-in on the subject as well.

This past Monday, worldwide media brought us the news that Pope Francis had died at the age of 88. Network coverage was dominated by this news, with lengthy pieces, hour-long specials and even live streaming showing thousands filing past the body of the Pope. Yet to come is the funeral this Saturday, in St. Peter's Square, outside the basilica where leaders and heads of state from about 170 governments from all over the world will be in attendance. With more on this topic, Crosstalk welcomed Mike Gendron. Mike is the founder and director of Proclaiming the Gospel Ministry. Mike was a devout Roman Catholic for over 3 decades and was taught to rely upon the authority of the church above all else. Mike searched the Scriptures and was amazed to find that what he read contradicted the teaching and tradition of the church he had been a part of for so long. He trusted Jesus as his Savior and now the Bible has become his sole authority in all matters of faith. Mike is the author of the books, Preparing for Eternity and Contending for the Gospel and has produced numerous videos with warnings concerning false teachings vs. the truth of the Scriptures.Pope Francis had a history of false teachings. For example, in May of 2013 he said that atheists would go to heaven if they lead good and honorable lives. In July of that same year, in the context of whether homosexuals could serve in the priesthood, he said that if someone is gay and searches for the Lord and has goodwill, who was he to judge? In November of 2015 he proclaimed that Christians and Muslims are brothers and sisters. In June of 2016 he said that all religions are different paths to the same god.

In the same town as the Pro Football Hall of Fame, lies another "Hall of Fame" - the Christian Hall of Fame. Started by Pastor Harold Henninger, the Canton Baptist Temple hosts a collection of portraits to men and women who followed the Lord.

Many people today are being spoon-fed on what to think but are seldom taught how to think. It's far easier and less taxing to be told what to think rather than actually going through the analysis that is necessary for critical thinking. How should we go about presenting the hope that's within us in meekness and fear without simply parroting something from our parents or church? Are you capable of seeing the narrative of today for what it is and see if it holds up to the teachings of Scripture?Juan Valdes has written a book that takes the reader through this thinking process. Juan is a speaker with Reasons for Hope. Juan taught high school for over 20 years and has been engaged in apologetics for over 30 years. He's a frequent keynote speaker at pastor, youth and educators conferences. He is author of How to Think: A Crash Course in Critical Thinking.What is critical thinking? What is meant by Post-truth? Juan described critical thinking as the use of all of your mental faculties to help us determine whether something is true or false. Post-truth is relying on your emotions and personal preferences more than objective truth when making decisions.As Juan explains, this post-truth mentality leads to moral relativism. This means that if someone's standard for what's acceptable/unacceptable is based on how that person feels and their personal preferences, then you (and everyone else) must establish your own moral code. Again, this is because life isn't viewed by some through the lens of a moral code where objective facts and rules are the standard. Instead, some people rely on their subjective beliefs, feelings and preferences to take charge.

Gary Kah is founder and director of Hope for the World. Gary is editor of Hope for the World Update. He's an author and former Europe & Middle East Trade Specialist for the Indiana State Government.As Jim noted at the beginning of this broadcast, "The goals of global government continue to spin." This is being helped along by the big news concerning the passing of Pope Francis. Gary described him as a cunning, interfaith man who was outspoken in his dedication toward globalism. This was seen in his support for the "Great Reset", he was tied to the World Economic Forum, he launched the Global Compact on Education, was in favor of the climate change agenda, had strong socialist leanings, supported leftist U.S. political figures despite their pro-abortion stance, was soft on gay marriage and he supported the extreme lock-down measures during COVID. Jim also passed along news that Klaus Schwab, Chair of the Board of Trustees of the World Economic Forum, has stepped down.Hear more on the Pope, Schwab, news concerning Russia/Ukraine and Israel and much more, on this edition of Crosstalk.

Babylon was conquered, but not destroyed by the Medes & Persians. Who are the Medes? The modern day Kurds. This battle will occur during the Day of the Lord.

Alex Newman is an award-winning international freelance journalist, author, researcher, educator and consultant. He is senior editor for The New American. In addition, he's co-author of Crimes of the Educators, author of Deep State: The Invisible Government Behind the Scenes and author of, Indoctrinating Our Children to Death. He is also founder and CEO of Liberty Sentinel and a national syndicator of radio and TV programs including Behind the Deep State which airs on WVCY television and vcy.tv.From the World Health Organization, to USAID, to the U.N.'s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, it's no secret that President Trump has been pulling funding away from globalist organizations. This means they desperately want access to your money. In order to do that, there's a powerful, yet little known agency called the International Maritime Organization that is in the process of imposing the first global tax on humanity. With this tax they will have direct access to independent funding. This is basically a global shipping fuel tax supposedly designed to thwart carbon emissions and climate change. Keep in mind, if they can tax world shipping, there's nothing that can stop them from moving on to tax agriculture, air travel, energy production, civilian transportation and other things. With that income they can then fund armies, police, social engineering programs, propaganda campaigns and much more.

Usama Dakdok is founder of the Straight Way of Grace Ministry. He's the speaker on the daily radio broadcast, Revealing the Truth About Islam. Born and raised in Egypt, Usama learned about Islam just as every other student does in a Muslim country. He also studied for a university degree in Egypt which included the study of Sharia, which is Islamic law. He first came to America in 1992.The infiltration of Islam continues in the U.S. This past February, Crosstalk warned listeners about the formation of "EPIC City" near Dallas, Texas (EPIC stands for East Plano Islamic Center). The city will eventually have exclusive Islamic grocery stores, schools, elderly assistance centers and more.Just a few weeks ago, the Houston Chronicle wrote about thousands of Muslims that gathered at the Sugarland, Texas, town square for what organizers said was the largest, open air Iftar celebration in the region. Then at the end of March, the White House sponsored an Iftar dinner. There's also a CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) linked event that hopes to place Muslim-Americans in federal jobs. These efforts prove how Islam is affecting America. Next on their agenda is an event set to take place on April 28th-29th. That's when the U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations is hosting the 10th annual National Muslim Advocacy Day in Washington, D.C. The event will bring in Muslim leaders, activists, as well as constituents from all across America. The goal is to directly engage with members of Congress as they promote the theme: Defending rights. Shaping policy.

Dr. Erwin Lutzer is Pastor Emeritus of The Moody Church where he served as the senior pastor for 36 years. He's the speaker on the Running to Win radio broadcast. Dr. Lutzer is an award-winning author. Some of his titles include, We Will Not Be Silenced., The Eclipse of God, When a Nation Forgets God, The Cross in the Shadow of the Crescent, One Minute After You Die and numerous other titles. He joined us to discuss his newly revised book, Putting Your Past Behind You.Do you realize that the pain in your past can be overcome; that the sins you've committed or had committed against you and the guilt associated with that can become the victory of tomorrow? If you've been suffering under such weight, there's good news. You can obtain relief from life's deepest hurts while seeing how God can use your past as a blessing for others. In other words, while you may not forget what occurred in your past, it no longer has to serve as the controlling reality that forms your identity. How do we resolve any hostility we may have toward God because of our past? Amidst temptations and trials, what are the escape routes? What does it mean to end the denial game? How can people confront fatal addictions? What's the difference between forgiveness and cleansing? The answers to these and other questions are part of this broadcast that when followed, can be the launchpad toward healing and renewal.

Who is the target of this fearful destruction?Where is Babylon?In modern Iraq is where the Garden of Eden was located, and to the north of modern Iraq are the mountains of Ararat. In 1921, the name was changed from Mesopotamia to Iraq.
