The Worldview in 5 Minutes - 3/14/2016

Monday, March 14th, in the year of our Lord, 2016.

​​Republican presidential front​-runner Donald Trump ended last week with a surprising

endorsement by neurosurgeon Ben Carson.  Plus, Trump cancelled a major rally in

Chicago due to threatened protestor violence.  Protestors followed Trump to Ohio and

worked hard to stop him from being heard there Saturday, while news outlets and

political opponents said that his inflammatory rhetoric caused the violence.

Sinking in the polls day by day, Marco Rubio decried Trump’s possible nomination,

saying that it would fracture the Republican Party.  In a last-ditch effort, Rubio offered

Ohio Governor John Kasich a deal to have his supporters in Ohio vote for Kasich, asking

Kasich to have his supporters in Florida vote for him.  Kasich’s campaign offered a

deflating quip saying, “We don’t need Rubio’s help winning in Ohio, and he won’t need

our help losing in Florida.”

Ted Cruz picked up more delegates by winning the Wyoming primary, and Rubio won

the District of Columbia’s 19 delegates.

​ ​​In violation of its recently signed nuclear deal with America, Iran fired off two mid-

range ballistic missiles and now has a long​-​range missile ready to be launched into

space, officials say.

Nazi concentration camp survivor Yisrael Kristal, a Polish man who survived two world

wars and lives in Israel, is now officially the oldest man alive.  The Guinness Book of

World Records organization said that Kristal was born in 1903.  He was separated from

his parents during World War I and forced with his family into a ghetto in 1939.  When

he was rescued by the Allies in 1945, he weighed just 87 pounds.  ​He has suffered the

death of his two children in the ghetto and the death of his wife at Auschwitz.  He told

​​​The Jerusalem Post he does not know the secret of long life but was sure that it was all

determined from above.

“For it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).

North Korea has lost a 70-foot midget class submarine and its crew.  This was

announced only days after the country fired off missiles into the South China Sea in

defiance of new sanctions imposed on the rogue power.

A few weeks ago, Special Forces captured the head of an ISIS unit who was working to

develop chemical weapons.

​On ​Saturday a three-year-old girl was killed and as many as 600 wounded when ISIS

launched a chemical attack near Kirkuk, Iraq.

Three-dozen Yazidi women escaped from an ISIS camp and revealed some gruesome

details about its deviant practices.  According to the victims and Islamic law, ISIS fighters

are permitted to buy and sell women and children to use them how they will, as long as

they are not pregnant when they violate them.  This rule has ISIS religiously

administering birth control to their victims, giving them pregnancy tests, and in some

cases​,​ performing abortions before raping them.  According to ISIS publications, they are

doing these things as they were practiced in Muhammad’s time.

“Surely you will slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men”

(Psalm 139:19).

A car bomb killed 34 and wounded many more in Ankara, Turkey, on Sunday.  According

to officials, another terror attack, intended to take out a high-level U.S. official, occurred

in the Ivory Coast and killed 16.
