Israel to move Armageddon prison to reveal ancient Christian church

(Worthy News) – The end is nigh at Armageddon – at least for an old Israeli prison near the ancient ruins of Megiddo, by tradition the site of the apocalyptic biblical battle between good and evil.

Half an hour’s drive south of Nazareth, Armageddon is a popular site for the coach loads of tourists visiting the sites of the Holy Land. There is also a busy programme of excavations.

In 2005, work to expand the aging Megiddo Prison uncovered the remains of a 3rd century Christian prayer hall, including a mosaic referring to ‘God Jesus Christ’. [ Source: Christian Today (Read More…) ]

Over 150 rockets launched into Israel, woman seriously injured

(Worthy News) – Rocket barrages by the Hamas terror group continued throughout the night. The military said over 150 rockets and mortar shells were launched at Israeli communities since Wednesday evening.

Most of the rockets hit open areas. The Iron Dome defense system — which targets only missiles projected to strike communities — destroyed 25 of the rockets.

However, several hit homes and factories in Israeli communities, causing damage. One barrage that slammed into the city of Sderot Wednesday evening injured three Israelis. At least eight others were treated for panic attacks, including two pregnant women who went into labor.

In response to the attacks, the Israeli army said it struck over 100 Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip overnight. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]

‘Mobster mentality’: China slams Trump’s trade moves, retaliates with 25% tax on U.S. products

(Worthy News) – China said Wednesday it will impose a 25-percent tax on hundreds of U.S. products, the latest retaliation in a trade war that’s raising anxiety among American farmers and other businesses about their prospects for the rest of the year.

The Chinese Ministry of Commerce announced the charge on $16 billion worth of U.S. goods, including large passenger cars, motorcycles, fiber-optical cables, plastic products, coal and asphalt. The tariffs will go into effect Aug. 23.

Chinese state media accused the U.S of a “mobster mentality” in its move to implement additional tariffs, and warned that Beijing had all the necessary means to fight back. [ Source: Washington Times (Read More…) ]
