Quantum entanglement demonstrated on tiny CubeSat in orbit
Researchers have managed to demonstrate quantum entanglement on a small satellite orbiting Earth. The team developed a miniaturized device that can produce pairs of photons that are inextricably linked, which could help launch a fast and secure quantum internet. Quantum entanglement is the eerie phenomenon where two particles can become so entwined that changing the properties of one will affect the other – no matter how far apart they are. In theory, they could be on opposite sides of the universe and still communicate instantaneously.

As The Fires Of Prophecy Ignite Around The World, The Lukewarm Laodicean Church Remains On Sidelines
Bible prophecy is a funny thing, you can read about it, know it’s coming, and yet when it arrives, who is ready to receive it? At a time like this, the blood bought, born again Church of Jesus Christ should be in massive revival, at the forefront of warning a lost and dying world about what’s coming. Yet it remains lukewarm and indifferent, just as prophecy said it would be. I had a reader write to me just yesterday, telling me that his pastor is preaching from the pulpit that prophecy is not being fulfilled right now. That’s where we are. Welcome to Laodicea.

There are two instances in Scripture—that I’m aware of—when God told someone not to pray, for He would not hear their prayer. Moses is the first example, for though he’d been faithful to God most of his life, he was told by the Lord he’d not enter the land promised to Israel because of his disobedience as a leader when he struck the rock (Num. 20:8-12).
