    E 300: A discussion with a Pastor about the Next Generation

    Join Mark and I today as we celebrate our 300th episode for One Day Closer.  It might not be Epic Fury, but its an epic milestone for us and so we have decided to invite our former Pastor to join us for our annual check up! Let me introduce you to a widely respected pastor, loved by thousands, a great man to be sure and a very dear friend, Carl Sutter, former pastor of 30 plus years now retired. Today we will ask Carl about the status of the Western Church, what have we gotten right, what's wrong with the Church, is it the pastors or is it the congregation?   What do we need to address to right the ship and what should we be telling the next generation to ensure their success going forward? We'll examine the example of Charlie Kirk, his message and his faith in engaging with the youth.  What can we learn from him?  We'll discuss todays cultural lies and failures and explore new paths forward.  Pathways paved with HOPE and God's Promises. We'll ponder how best to share the message of Hope with our soon to be freed Persian youth, showcase how Jesus restores dignity and promise with women of his time, and much much more. Todays closing music clip is Shane & Shane sharing I'm Fighting a Battle. Find us on the web at www.onedaycloser.biz for articles and book reviews and much more. Drop us a note at odc22@proton.me.  We would love to hear from you. Send us Fan Mail

    E 299: Biblical Prophecy Surrounding Iran: The Second Signpost Part 2

    Welcome to One Day Closer with Mark and Dave and Mark Davidson, friend and author of Daniel Revisited.   By way of introduction, Mark is the author of four books, Daniel Revisited, Iran’s Great Invasion and the Chronicles of the end times and the fourth,  Hidden Babylon and Gods warning. With a masters in engineering AND a student of history, biblical prophecy, geopolitics and economics, Mark combines careful scholarship of world history with insight into prophetic scriptures.  You can learn more about Marks work on his web at www.foursignposts.com, which by the way, we discussed last week in episode 298 and will continue today.  If you want to hear our first two interviews with Mark from last year, check out episode 236 and 237 where Mark identifies the FOUR MIDEAST SIGNS we should all be watching for to monitor prophecy being fulfilled in Daniel 8.   Noting that the second signposts in Mark’s book Daniel Revisited, is all about IRAN RUNNING OUT hell bent on global CONQUEST and in light of current events like OPERATION EPIC FURY which appears to be reducing IRANS capacity... ...we thought it would be good to invite Mark back in to update us on his perspective of current events.   The First Signpost:  The Coercion of Iraq Second Signposts:  The Conquest by IRAN. (This will be our focus for today) Third Signposts: The Confederacy of Four Nations Fourth Signposts:  The Coalescing of an Empire www.foursignposts.com www.onedaycloser.biz Questions: With Operation Epic Fury underway does this change your perspective or understanding of the Second Signpost? Does this simply push the Second Signpost back several decades or could this turn sideways and usher in an Iranian victory? What must fall for Iran to win the fight? How would this affect the global economic powers? Of the 90 million Persians, how many truly want freedom and democracy? What are the odds that the IRGC will surrender? Are there other prophecies (maybe smaller or seemingly less prophetic that we need to rethink?) My two biggest fears: Activation of global cells would be like MN crazy in hundreds of cities globally Chip Roy highlighted a thought many haven’t even considered…what would we do with an Islamic nuclear United Kingdom or an Islamic nuclear France?   Send a text

    E 298: Author Mark Davidson of Daniel Revisited, revisits the Second Signpost in light of Operation Epic Fury

    Welcome to One Day Closer with Mark, Dave and Mark Davidson, friend and author of Daniel Revisited.  By way of introduction, Mark is the author of four books, Daniel Revisited, Iran’s Great Invasion and the Chronicles of the end times and the fourth,  Hidden Babylon and Gods warning. With a masters in engineering AND a student of history, biblical prophecy, geopolitics and economics, Mark combines careful scholarship of world history with insight into prophetic scriptures.  You can learn more about Marks work on his website at www.foursignposts.com. If you want to hear our first two interviews with Mark from last year, check out episode 236 and 237 where Mark identifies the FOUR MIDEAST SIGNS we should all be watching for to monitor prophecy being fulfilled in Daniel 8.  Noting that the second signposts in Mark’s book Daniel Revisited, is all about IRAN RUNNING OUT hell bent on global CONQUEST and in light of current events like OPERATION EPIC FURY which appears to be reducing IRANS capacity to a bark…and not a lethal bite... We thought it would be good to invite Mark back in to update us on his perspective of current events.    Within the past week, under Operation Epic Fury, Iran has lost over 52 military and Cleric leaders including the Supreme Leader; their Navy is primarily at the bottom of the Sea, their remaining missile launchers can probably be counted with a pair of hands and maybe a couple of toes, and the 12 war head cluster bombs / missiles that reenter our atmosphere and then rain down 12 war heads…the warheads have no explosives in them….they just fall to the ground.

    E 297: Operation Epic Fury

    We are witnessing a historic global event  Freedom at Hand Younger listeners have no history of the Iran conflict.  This Iran conflict began on November 4, 1979, when a group of Iranian students stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, taking 52 American hostages. The hostages were held for 444 days before being released. just hours after President Ronald Reagan delivered his inaugural address. For 47 years the nations of the world tolerated the toothless boast coming from the Supreme Leadership.  There was no one willing to challenge their rhetoric or distant threats.   Not until now. Israel and U.S. Military Objectives for Operation Epic Fury: Destroy Irans missile capabilitiesSend Iranian navy to bottom of the seaEnsure Iran can never have nuclear weaponsDisable Irans terrorist proxies2000 targets were destroyed in a weekend.  Two days later, their entire Navy was at the bottom of the sea. 47 years of boastful rhetoric “death to America. Death to Isreal”  forever silenced on day one.  Trump is the first president that was willing to confront the bully. As of Monday 45 of their senior leaders have been introduced to God Almighty. Trump has Offered immunity to the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Core).  Will they accept or reject his generosity? The citizens and people of Iran who have been oppressed for decades can now rise up, prosper and thrive.  Freedom is at hand. The Abraham Accords 2 can now prosper. All great news, but Congressman Chip Roy has a different perspective and a chilling question to ponder.  While the Iran threat of nuclear weapons is no longer a threat, should we be concerned about a nuclear Islamic United Kingdom or an Islamic nuclear France?   Where are our Bethesda pools of hope today?  John 5 1:20  Where do our desperate, suffering and forgotten go to find hope ! Even if we are not poolside for 38 years like the man of John 5, we all have moments of suffering….its important to know…Jesus draws near to suffering  Palms 34:18-19. Do you want to be made well?  Why did God say that? He knows our hearts and mind so why ask? Jesus’ questions are “invitations” Visit us at www.onedaycloser.biz Send us Fan Mail

    E 296: Season 4 - Too many Goliath's and not enough David's

    Join us today as we explore Ezekiel 34 and the fall of God's Shepherds of old, and ponder who and where are the Shepherds of today. Marks going to walk us through a discussion that will lead us to find the Shepherds, the David's and the Warriors for Gods people today. In preparation for Marks study, I referred to Siri for a few commentaries on the book of Ezekiel.  I found an article by Jon English Lee helpful.  He serves as Academic Dean and Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology at Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary "By way of set up, Ezekiel is working at this point in Israel’s history after the kingdom had been split.  If you will remember, King David was ruling, then king Solomon.  But after Solomon the kingdom splits between the north and the south. And eventually, because of their sin and their unwillingness to obey the word of God, the kingdoms were conquered and taken into exile." "It is during Ezekiel’s life that the southern kingdom, called Judah, was defeated by Babylon and taken into exile. Ezekiel himself was carried off, and appears to have settled with a colony of Jewish captives in Babylon. Indeed, the theme of exile is all over this book." "This first section begins very bluntly with an indictment of the shepherds of Israel. Because the people of God in the old covenant were both a religious group and a political nation, the category of shepherds of Israel would have included both religious leaders and political leaders. Priests and kings, Levites and magistrates." I proposed to Mark that most folks can guess who our political leaders are today, but identifying the Shepherds might be problematic. Which religion would we default to as the one with voice and influence that could reach all faiths and denominations? Send us Fan Mail

    E 295: "You Can't Handle the Truth"

    Join Mark and I today as we make the case for justice and accountability.  It's time to hold some folks to account.  If not, the mid-terms could hijack the Golden Age and MAGA's momentum. The left remain hell bent to distract away from the massive accomplishments all Americans have benefited from since Trump took office, and they can't have that.  Distractions, Government shutdowns, and Chaos that divides are concussion grenades that seem to work for them. Serious accountability to corruption and fraud is the only answer.  The coverups must be uncovered and the guilty must go to jail. Members of both parties are clamoring for justice for Epstein’s victims, with many lawmakers counting on the release of the DOJ’s Epstein files to reveal more information about who should be implicated in wrongdoing.  I think it’s funny that no one was clambering over these files during Biden’s presidency.  This is one of many chaos driven concussion grenades the left likes to use to simply cause a distraction.    After being repeatedly criticized for allegedly weaponizing the Department of Justice in the Epstein case, violating the rights of victims set by the Epstein Files Transparency Act and intentionally obscuring the names of co-conspirators in the files, Bondi was summoned for a House Judiciary Committee oversight hearing on February 11, 2026.  Mark and I agree.  Remove all the redactions and release the entire file to the world.  Let the guilty be exposed.  Until this "conspiracy" is fully released without redactions, this will only distract from the many great accomplishments Trump continues to deliver.   In other News: Trump and Lee Zeldin, the EPA Secretary, trashed Obamas “Environmental findings” gutting environmental regulations for all mobile industry.  Saving of $1.4 trillion. Government shut down again last night over ICE funding.  The left fail to realize that ICE has already been funded through next year from the big beautiful bill.  Concussion grenade and chaos. Washington Post laid off 1/3 of its staff. Raugh, the would be assassin at Trumps golf course was sentenced to life in prison. Allegations of fraud in MN is now estimated to be nearing $30 Billion…in MN alone! Bret Stephens an opinion writer for the New York Times had a piece Tuesday that asked the question…”Will Newsom be the democrats next mistake?”  Here’s a quick list of the governors  contributions to California and his list of qualified failures as to why he shouldn’t even run for President. California ranks dead last in a recent study stating that it is not affordable for the middle class.  One in six Californians live in poverty.  The average income of the top 5% Is $600,000 higher than the bottom 20%. California accounts for nearly HALF of the Homelessness in the entire country.  The $24 billion allocated to address homelessness is no where to be found. 1.3 million left, quit, and departed California between April 2020 and July 2025. California's education k-12 ranks #38 in US behind Mississippi and Louisiana. California’s $128 Billion High-Speed Rail –better known as the slow rail to nowhere.  Initially thought to cost 33 billion when complete… never left the station… the money did but not the train. America can't afford another corrupt politician to be in consideration.  We need to retain the House and the Senate this November.  There is so much to do and Trumps  current team has the integrity of character to deliver.

    E 294: Season 4 - How to break the fever of late stage Trump Derangement Syndrome

    If you joined us last week, Mark and I closed the show promising to take a closer look into whether Trump Derangement Syndrome is even real and if so, is it truly a mental illness or just a disorder?  Are there different stages and what causes TDS in the first place? Last week we stated the obvious…if you feel sick…get some help.  We used the fever of a sick child analogy...to simply point out that if your kid is sick and has a fever…call in to work and stay home and care for the child vs taking him or her to school to get the other kids sick. The same discernment or wisdom holds true for adults.  If you feel like smashing someones head in or feel the urge to scream at law enforcement officers at the top of your voice with blood vessels popping out of your head…maybe you should call that a sick day, avoid protests of any kind, maybe stay home and take a warm bath.   There’s a lot you could do to make yourself feel better.  Isolation for a season would not be a bad idea.  I think Mark called it self reflection. Mark also suggested checking in with other resources…ping what you’ve been told with a completely different source and ponder that perspective / position for a while.  Don’t just listen to the one guy offering free kool-aid.  He might be a crazy nut job that wants everyone to die for his cause and not yours. When you're sick and under the weather, the objective is to get well, regardless of what stage the sickness.  So maybe we should focus all our energy into how best to do that.   Let's start with a shower.  Maybe change the linens on the bed.  Open the blinds and let the sunshine in.  When you're ready grab a bite to eat, but today choose something different to feed your soul.    Pick up a Bible or a daily devotional or something that is uplifting, encouraging and speaks truth to your soul.   Do a Google search of Bible scriptures that speak about how to have a victorious and prosperous life.  There are over 100 scriptures in the Bible that speak about this very topic.  That's a lot right?  Wonder why there's so many?  Maybe our creator knew we were going to need some encouragement and healing along the way.
