Protests and Divide in the USA

This is the Bible News Prophecy Program, bringing you news and analysis of world events and

the light of Bible Prophecy.

The following program is brought to you by the continuing Church of God.

Being friends, this is Steve Dipli for the Bible News Prophecy Program with Dr. Bob Teal,

bringing you news and analysis of world events and light of Bible Prophecy.

Dr. Teal, there's more division in the US with a recent death in Minnesota involving ICE.

What happened?

Well, actually, at least three people were shot in one killed by the US federal immigration

and customs enforcement agency known as ICE this past week.

Now, Congresswoman Elon Omar says ICE is terrorizing communities.

Well, anyway, on the 7th of January, 2026, the ICE officer by name of Jonathan Ross shot and killed 37-year-old woman by name of Renee Good.

You know, this is horrific.

You know, in America, it's shot here, but what happens to ancient Ross is he was in Minnesota six months before trying to arrest an illegal immigrant

who he tried to arrest him and the immigrant took and pulled Ross 100 more than 100 yards and dragged him.

So anyway, he was sent back to Minneapolis, Ross was to arrest more criminals and to disrupt this network called ICE Watch.

Now, their mission is to document and resist ICE.

To track agents, film them, badger them, docs them, increase stress and tension surround them,

warn targets, block vehicles, escalate.

So anyway, Renee Good became a victim and some people believe she was a victim of Lexus mental disease that affected her.

Now, her ex-husband said she'd never participated in any protest at all in the years that he knew her.

But after they got divorced and she married a woman, but when Trump won again in 2004, she and her new partner fled to Canada.

That didn't last so long. They came back and enrolled her six-year-old son in a charter school who stated mission is, quote, involving children in political and social activism.

Anyway, that's where she met the ICE Watch Network and now she's dead.

The events of the United States seemed to be in chaos.

We got nearly half the country that blames those shot for getting in the way of ICE agents trying to do their job.

And the others are blaming the ICE agents and the president of the ICE agency for what happened.

So we've seen lots of protests for those who opposed to ICE and Donald Trump.

As a matter of fact, I had to drive through protests a couple of times and cover pieces past week.

Anyway, and over a thousand protests are planned across the United States related to this weekend.

Now, that's not unexpected.

Last month, I wrote an article called 26 Items for Fetically Watching 2026.

And over 16 was called unrest, terror, and dividing the United States.

I'm going to read what I wrote here.

There have been many protests in USA.

Some protested racial economic and policing matters.

Some have called for civil war.

The Bible prophesies in Deuteronomy 32.25 that there will be terror within.

Well, that happened in the United States.

Well, yes.

More terror is prophesied in the United States.

Pairs also prophesied to hit Australian New Zealand, Canada, and United Kingdom.

1225 Jesus taught.

Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation.

And every city or house divided against itself will not stand.

We see more divided USA in parts of it certainly appear to be intentional.

Much of it's ideological.

The United States is becoming less and less united and more polarized.

Again, I'm still reading for what I wrote last month.

Deporting people may cause unrest in USA.

Deporting people may cause unrest in Europe.

Expect protests, including violence in the USA.

Expect more divide in a nation where half of his people can't tell the difference between males and females.

And the other half still sticks to some facts about that.

And of course, there's the abortion divide, migrant matters, and other issues.

Now, in general, the mainstream media is tend to be on the side of the protesters.

Sadly, the United States is almost unbiased reporters because people seem to push one thing or the other.

Well, that's not new.

I think it's worsen to a major degree in the United States in the 21st century.

16 seems to have hit the nail on the head.

Have you seen any videos of protests in René Good?

Yes.

And I saw what happened when she got shot.

Now, there's various narratives about, you know, what happened.

But, for example, I watched the cell phone footage from one of the D.I.C. agents of shooting.

And you watch this, and it shows that she and her partner were not cooperating with federal officials.

There's a report about it from another source I want to go through.

Since the video begins with Ross in front of the vehicle.

I'm driven by René Good.

And the agent goes around the car.

Looks at the office.

Sir, she says, that's fine, dude.

I'm not mad at you.

Ross doesn't respond.

The car window reflection can be seen of Ross holding his phone up.

He continues to walk.

You can hear victims' wife.

Becca Good say, show your face to Ross.

The video shows Ross walking around the back of the car.

Becca Good, the passenger had gotten out prior to the confrontation.

You can hear another officer tell Good, the driver, to get out of the car.

Good as N.C. reverting the car and clashing forward as she turns the steering wheel right to the right way

where the officer was standing.

The car moves forward.

Ross cries out, whoa.

The three gunshots are heard in the rapid succession.

And then the DHS assistant secretary,

Patricia McLaughlin said the newly released video backs up with the agency said,

the ice officer acted in self defense.

And some people thought that they were of

the same way.

Becca and Renee were obstructing.

I don't know if obstructing is the word I would use.

But one or more agents can be here,

heard telling the driver to get out of the car.

Instead, she speeds off.

And this wife person, by the way,

she says to her drive baby drive.

So she's telling her to ignore what the federal office police officers tell her what to do.

And then with the recording,

the agency seems to be knocked down based on when you watch the camera or whatever.

So anyway, that's what I saw.

Now, this idea of complaining about police isn't new.

The radio church you got over six years ago had an article

by the late countertaid Armstrong.

And I'm going to read through this.

This police brutality, poverty, unequal opportunity.

Police issues of talking about race riots over Los Angeles.

He writes the causes human nature.

And he quotes Jeremiah 1710 about the hearts deceitful above all things.

He says human nature is a mixture of vanity, jealousy, lust, and greed.

And this causes people to rebel.

Then he incites the fossil Paul who wrote,

because the carnal mind is enmity against God.

And he says this is not limited to one race,

but it's most assuredly aggravated by race hatred.

He says the problem is with the family breaking down all around the world.

This is causing a problem.

And rights are not the answer.

He says, but to a certain degree of reason more people don't riot and loot

is because they're afraid they're going to get caught.

And he says, with human hatred, you've got to deal with selfishness

and hate toward authority, jealousy, being intolerant and very bigoted.

God's word in James 413, he writes, says,

from where do wars and fighting come from you?

Is it from the less of war in your members?

Anyway, they talk about various ones killing.

And indeed, there is police brutality.

Now, I don't know what the ICE agent, Russ,

who killed the woman driver saw or he felt,

but I do think that shooting her was highly excessive.

But his actions, whether or not they're legal or not,

they don't justify violent protests.

As you mentioned earlier,

what's happening in his plan to happen is not unexpected.

What do you mean by his plan to happen?

As I mentioned, the Guardian reported over a thousand rallies and protests

are planned in the ICE states about this weekend.

Now, interestingly, in a book I wrote in January 2025,

which is a free e-book called Unintended Consequences

and Donald Trump's presidency to find its issue

of acograder.com, excuse me.

I wrote, expect more protests against Donald Trump.

As a 47th president, Donald Trump plans to deport

all those not leaving United States.

Even though most of them, many think he can't do that.

Trying that is expected to cause civil unrest

and probably riots.

There are issues with what Donald Trump says when he speaks.

I expect protests.

The polarizing figure is offended many, including minorities,

migrants and Muslims, expect civil unrest and rioting.

Donald Trump is setting up the United States for punishment

that includes troubles and violence.

What does the Bible warn about this type of sin?

Well, there's some generational warnings in the Bible.

For example, in a book of proverbs,

it says there's a proverbs 30 starting with 11.

There's a generation that curses his father

and doesn't bless its mother.

There's a generation that's pure in its own eyes.

It's not washed of its own filthiness.

There's a generation, oh, how lofty are their eyes?

The idea of the lives are lifted up.

The generation whose teeth are like swords,

whose fangs are like knives.

In Deuteronomy 32 verse 5,

it says they've corrupted themselves.

They're perverse and crooked generation.

And we're seeing a generation like that.

And in Deuteronomy, I say a chapter 30,

starting in verse 8, God tells Isaiah to write on a tablet.

This is a rebellious people.

They don't hear the law of God.

They tell the prophets, don't prophesy right things.

Speak to a smooth things.

I get out of the way and stop the Lord of God,

Israel, being in front of us.

And before I go any further, we've seen that with censorship

and shadow banning, whatever,

many who are against the Bible.

But continuing in Isaiah,

we're warned because you despise this word

and trust in oppression and perversity,

which a lot of these people are pushing,

and relying on them, therefore,

iniquity will fall upon you.

And that's applicable to much in the United States.

More and more despise in the Word of God and trust perversity.

The United States needs national repentance

without it it's doomed,

and will end fairly soon.

You know your sleep will be doomed fairly soon?

Well, a lot of people think,

well, the United States has been promoting sin

and increasing its staff without problems forever.

And that's not going to change.

But it will.

Ecclesiastes chapter 8,

in verse 11 and warns us,

because the sentence against an evil work

is not executed spedally.

Therefore, the hardest sons and men

is fully setting them to do evil.

The politicians keep doing wrong things,

but that it's going to end.

Now, Jesus had some warnings in the book of Mark,

Mark chapter 13,

starting in verse 8,

he warns about nation rising against nations,

and there'll be earthquakes and families and troubles.

He said, these are the beginning of sorrows.

Then he says, learn from the parable from the fig tree.

When it's branches become tender,

it puts forth its leaves, you know the summer is near.

When you see these things happening,

you know that it's near at the doors.

But surely I say to you,

this generation will be,

no mean take pass away,

so all these things take place.

Are you saying that the things that are happening now

means that the fig tree has put forth its leaves?

Yes, because we're seeing troubles.

You know,

and in Mark 13, verse 37,

Jesus added,

what I say to you,

I say to you all,

watch,

we're in a time of troubles and sorrows,

is Jesus prophesied.

It's the final generation of the sage that experiences

the beginning of sorrows,

and by the way,

the ride of the four horsemen,

which is part of those,

the national repentance of what the United States needs.

But since that's not likely,

nor are the protesters

or the Trump administration

you're calling for,

it's going to fail.

The United States is not need,

truly need protests or troops in the street.

The United States needs repentance,

and return to Jesus,

and the kingdom of God.
