GOG AND MAGOG UPDATE
Articles in the News
What was the Top Topics searches at Search Engine’s (Like Google) in 2025 – What was Googled in line of Religion ?
- Spiritual Hunger Beneath a Secular Surface
Despite long-standing claims that faith is fading, 2025 tells a different story. Searches related to the Bible, prayer, prophecy, and the nature of God increased–particularly among younger generations. Common queries included
Is God real?
Why does evil exist?
What does the Bible say about the end times?
How do you pray?
What’s striking is how unfiltered these searches were. They were not framed by denomination or tradition, but by raw need. People were not asking which church to join; they were asking eternal questions.
When trust in institutions collapses, people instinctively reach for transcendence. Ecclesiastes tells us that God has placed eternity in the human heart, and the data suggests that longing has not disappeared–it has gone searching.
2. Cultural Identity: When a Society Asks “What Is True?”
One of the most revealing patterns in 2025 search behavior was the surge in identity-focused and truth-oriented questions. Searches such as
What is truth?
What defines a woman?
Is gender biological?
What is marriage for?
Does truth change over time?
appeared repeatedly throughout the year.
These are not fringe debates. They are civilizational questions–the kind societies ask when inherited moral frameworks begin to erode and individuals are left to construct meaning on their own.
What stands out is not outrage, but confusion. People are searching because the promises of radical self-definition have failed to deliver clarity or peace. When identity is untethered from creation, from biology, from history, and ultimately from God, it becomes endlessly fragile. Every answer generates ten more questions.
From a Christian perspective, this moment is deeply revealing. Scripture teaches that truth is not invented–it is revealed. Identity is not self-assigned–it is received. The surge in these searches suggests a growing realization that when truth becomes subjective, it stops functioning as truth at all.
Many searching these terms are not activists or ideologues. They are parents, students, and young adults trying to understand how to live faithfully, raise children, and navigate a culture that offers affirmation without definition and freedom without direction.
3. Technology, AI, and the Fear of Losing Reality
Technology-related searches–especially those tied to artificial intelligence–dominated much of 2025. But beneath curiosity was anxiety. Searches increasingly centered on whether AI can deceive, manipulate images, replace jobs, or blur the line between what is real and what is fabricated.
This reflects a growing awareness that just because something is possible does not mean it is wise. When reality itself becomes editable, people instinctively begin to worry about what can still be trusted.
Scripture repeatedly warns that deception will increase in times of moral confusion–not always through obvious lies, but through convincing imitations of truth. The data suggests that many people sense this danger, even if they don’t yet have language for it.
30 Numbers From 2025 That Tell A Deeper Story
2025 has truly been a historic year. No matter which side of the fence that you are on, nobody can deny that we have witnessed seismic political changes over the last 12 months.
Meanwhile, the AI revolution is transforming our lives in ways that we don’t even understand. But despite all of our advanced technology, we can’t stop the endless barrage of natural disasters that has been pummeling us in 2025, and hunger continues to spread all over the globe. Of course war has been a major theme from the very beginning of the year to the very end of the year.
Humanity has been facing one major crisis after another, and people are steadily getting angrier and more frustrated.
Our world is changing at a pace that is absolutely breathtaking. If you always wanted to live in “interesting” times, you have certainly gotten your wish. The following are 30 numbers from 2025 that are almost too crazy to believe…

The pace of global events has accelerated significantly over the past year.
It really does feel like we are building up to some sort of a crescendo.
We are living at a time of a “perfect storm”, and we just keep getting hammered by one crisis after another.
As a result, much of the population has become numb to it all.
Never before in human history have we been subjected to such an emotional overload.
When you are being pulled in so many directions emotionally, it can be really easy to give in to the temptation to go numb.
But I would encourage my readers not to do that.
It is when times are the darkest that light is needed the most.
As things get even darker in 2026, choose to be a light to those around you.
All of human history has been building up to this time, and we get to be here for it.
There is nowhere else that I would rather be than right here, and there is no other time that I would have rather lived than right now.
Don’t let all of the chaos that is going on all around us get you down.
You were born for such a time as this, and now is the time to become everything that you were created to be.
Netanyahu proposed ’round 2′ of Iran war in 2026, US sets conditions for support ,
Prime Minister Netanyahu reportedly spoke with President Trump about carrying out a new air campaign against Iran in 2026.
Israel could launch a new air campaign against Iran as early as 2026, three sources claimed in a report published by Axios on Wednesday.
On Monday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, during which the two leaders discussed efforts by Iran to reconstitute its nuclear program following the Israeli and American airstrikes in June, and to expand its ballistic missile arsenal.
During the meeting, Netanyahu shared with Trump details regarding Israel’s planning for a possible follow-up air campaign against Iran, should Tehran continue to refuse to halt its efforts to enrich uranium.
According to a US official and two other American sources, Israel is considering airstrikes in 2026.
The American official cited in the report said President Trump would likely support “round two” of fighting with Iran, assuming the US verifies that Iran is taking concrete steps to reboot its atomic program.
However, the official emphasized that Israel and the Trump administration would not necessarily agree on the level of evidence needed to conclude that Tehran is actively seeking to rebuild its nuclear program.
“The tension will be in agreeing what reconstitution means,” the official was quoted as saying.
The two leaders did not set a specific timetable regarding potential military action in Iran, nor did they reach any detailed understandings on how a possible campaign against Iran would be conducted.
Speaking with reporters after the meeting, Trump said that not only would he “absolutely” consider backing Israel in the event the IDF strikes Iran, he would also launch additional B-2 bomber sorties against Iranian nuclear facilities if it was determined Tehran was continuing its efforts to enrich uranium.
A day later, Netanyahu addressed the possibility of a new military confrontation with Iran while speaking with Fox News.
“If you dare to do this, the results will be devastating,” Netanyahu warned Iran, after noting intelligence suggesting Iran may have planned surprise attacks on Israel, using a series of military drills as cover.
Trump to unveil ‘day after’ plan for Gaza in 2 weeks, may include Palestinian police force
After meeting with Netanyahu, Trump reportedly plans to unveil his plan for the postwar administration and reconstruction of the Gaza Strip and is mulling the deployment of a Palestinian police force.
President Donald Trump is planning to unveil his plans for the postwar administration and reconstruction of the Gaza Strip in roughly two weeks, multiple diplomatic sources claim, after the president met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to iron out issues regarding the partial implementation of the second phase of the Gaza plan.
Since the beginning of the Gaza ceasefire in October, the White House has sought to reach a consensus on a path toward the implementation of the second phase of the administration’s peace plan, which would include the disarming of Hamas, deployment of an international peacekeeping force, and work on the reconstruction of Gaza.
However, Hamas’ ongoing refusal to hand over its weapons, coupled with the group’s repeated violations of the ceasefire and failure to return the body of the last remaining hostage have hamstrung efforts to broker an agreement between Israel and Hamas on phase 2 of the deal.
In recent weeks, Trump administration officials have mulled alternative ways to move forward with the reconstruction of Gaza in the event Hamas continues to flout the agreement mandating that it demilitarize.
On Wednesday, Israel Hayom published a report citing diplomatic sources who said that following Trump’s meeting with Netanyahu in Mar-a-Lago on Monday, the administration is finalizing its new, alternative plan for the “day after” in Gaza.
According to the report, Trump will unveil the plan on January 15, announcing the establishment of a reconstruction oversight council that will be tasked with coordinating efforts to clear rubble from parts of the war-torn coastal enclave, build new civilian infrastructure, and construct housing units.
In addition, the plan may include the deployment of the international stabilization force to Gaza, though the makeup of the proposed force has yet to be determined, with many potential contributor nations wary of deploying soldiers to Gaza.
One source said that the plan may include the use of Palestinian police officers as an alternative to the ISF, noting that a number of Palestinian Authority security personnel have been training in Egypt for this purpose.
Israel has thus far objected to any Palestinian Authority involvement in Gaza.
During his talks with Trump, Netanyahu conditioned any cooperation with the PA vis-à-vis Gaza on Ramallah undertaking major reforms, including halting all payments to jailed terrorists and the families of slain terrorists.
