Duck Dynasty scores largest cable audience ever

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8,9

On today’s sex-drugs-and-alcohol-soaked cable television landscape, where immorality, deceit and dishonesty have taken firm hold, a show about a close-knit Christian family who make duck calls and preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ has just broken the all-time cable viewership record. Guess it shows you what America really wants.

And yes, we’re fans of the show.

WEST MONROE, La. — Today Duck Commander, the Robertson family duck call business made famous by A&E’s hit reality show “Duck Dynasty,” is more of an empire.

alan-joins-duck-dynasty-preaching-jesus-christ-phil-robertson

Alan Robertson, the “beardless brother” and preacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, joins the Duck Dynasty cast as it reaches epic proportions.

But in the beginning Phil Robertson made his duck calls in his backwoods Louisiana backyard. And as the oldest son, Alan Robertson served as one of his dad’s first employees.

Alan Joins Season 4

Although he’s the oldest brother, fans of “Duck Dynasty” probably didn’t know he existed until now. Alan debuted on the show’s Season 4 premiere to a record-breaking audience. Nearly 12 million people watched, making it the largest audience ever for a nonfiction show on cable.

Alan likes to joke that he’s responsible for the ratings bump, but in the Robertson family, all glory goes to God.

The day after the record-breaking premiere, Alan led dozens of Duck Commander employees in the company’s weekly devotion. The workers show up an hour early for the weekly ritual.

“Duck Dynasty” funny man John Godwin opened the group in prayer.

“Thank you so much for the cross and your grace and your mercy and we praise His name. Amen,” he prayed.

With his wife Lisa beside him and his daughter Alexis across from him (she and her husband work for Duck Commander, too), Alan preached about God’s love, reading from 1 Corinthians 13.

“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.” he quoted the passage.

“Without love we’re in serious trouble right?” he went on to say.

A Bumpy Spiritual Road

It’s something he knows well. Before rejoining Duck Commander a year ago, Alan pastored White’s Ferry Road Church of Christ for more than 20 years. But as a young man he never dreamed he’d become a minister.

“My high school years were just terrible and it was all a secret life- running around and drinking and cutting up,” he said. “So I was at the worst possible place – I was hiding in plain sight. I was in the church but I wasn’t a Christian. I wasn’t living for Christ.”

After he graduated, Phil told him he either had to shape up or move out so he wouldn’t be a bad influence on his younger brothers. Alan moved out, relocating to New Orleans where he found more trouble.

His life got so bad that it scared him straight and after about a year he moved back home. He made a commitment to follow Jesus Christ and Phil baptized him in the river behind their house. 

The ‘Feather’ and the ‘Sledgehammer’

Since then Alan estimates the Robertson men have used the same water to baptize at least a thousand others. Now most weekends Alan and his dad travel the country together preaching the Gospel.  

“I call us the feather and the sledge hammer,” Alan told CBN News. “I come in and I get people laughing. I get their tickle bone because I’m kind of the humor guy.

“And then dad comes in with a sledgehammer – boom! – you know, ‘This is what God has done for you. This is what our nation needs. Boom, boom, boom'” he continued.

At Duck Commander Headquarters Alan shares an office with his wife, Lisa, who also works for the business. The couple’s daughters and their husbands do, too.

Each day hundreds of requests come in for a family member to speak or appear at an event. “We’re on the telephone; we’re working schedules for the family,” Alan explained.

They also greet fans. While the other Robertson’s travel to different appearances, Alan and Lisa serve as family ambassadors. Now that Alan and Lisa will be appearing on Duck Dynasty, they can expect a lot more attention.

Alan’s daughter, Alexis, said she thinks her dad felt a little left out and said she’s glad he’s back with the family business and on the show.

“They know what they’re getting into because they’ve seen it with the brother’s,” she said. “But I think they are still going to be shocked whenever everywhere they go people know who they are.”

Such a Time as This

“Alan is just a natural fit anyway,” Godwin said. “He’s such a people person, you know, keep us grounded and keep everybody else grounded.”

“I really feel like God had prepared us for such a moment at this,” Alan said, “And when America needs some family to say, ‘Hey, we can make mistakes, you know, we can come from nothing – we can have all these things now, but ultimately none of it matters except that we’re saved and we’re going to be in heaven forever with Christ.'”

Lisa added, “And Kay always says, too, that, she says that whenever she prays she says if the money or the fame or anything ever takes us away from Christ, then take it all away and leave us with nothing. You know, because when we’re with nothing, we’ve got everything with Christ.” source – CBN

Step #1 In Operation Africa! Complete As The Last Of The 823 King James, Ekegusii And Children’s Bibles Needed Have Now Been Delivered To Pastor Dancan

Operation Africa! Reaches A Powerful Milestone As 823 King James, Ekegusii And Children’s Bibles Have Now Been Delivered Into The Hands Of Pastor Dancan In Kenya

Operation Africa has reached another powerful milestone, and we give God all the glory for it. The first step in this great end times missionary outreach is now complete, as the final shipment of the 823 King James, Ekegusii, and Children’s Bibles have been delivered into the hands of Pastor Dancan in Kisii, Kenya. Now onto Step #2, a tent for their outdoors church.

And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.” Acts 16:9 (KJB)

Bibles have been purchased, packed, transported, received, and placed where they need to be — in the hands of Bible believers, pastors, children, families, and new converts who are hungry for the word of God. In a day when much of modern Christianity is busy building brands, platforms, and entertainment centers, the Lord has allowed us to take part in something beautifully simple and eternally powerful, and that is simply the putting Bibles into the hands of people who need them. That’s our mission statement. Many of the people recieving these Bibles today have never held a Bible in their hands in their life. Think about the magnitude of that, and the awesomeness of the responsibility the Lord entrusted to us to give Bibles to them. This is what it looked like there this morning.

Since word began to spread about the 823 Bibles being delivered for Glory Fellowship Church, an additional 200 people have joined the church, with even more children coming as well who we also need to get Bibles to. That is not merely an increase in attendance, that’s not just excitement over a shipment. That is the visible stirring of revival, as the word of God creates hunger in the hearts of men, women, and children who are seeing that the Lord is doing something real in their midst. Our $25,000 Operation Africa! fundraiser has reached the halfway point in just under 2 weeks, and in this economy, that’s nothing short of a miracle. Please pray about partnering with us to reach our goal.

There is much work left to do, “come over to Macedonia” and help us!!

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: It’s ‘Rise Of The Machines’ As Internet Crosses Threshold Of Automated AI Bot Traffic Now Outnumbering Human Web Traffic

Rise Of The Machines As Bot Traffic Now Outnumbers Human Web Traffic, Showing How AI Agents And Automated Systems Are Rapidly Taking Control Of The Internet

I have been with the internet from the very beginning, learning how to make primitive HTML 1.0 web sites all the way back in 1994, to publishing one of the most-visited end times prophecy sites in the world, Now The End Begins. During all that time, I have watched at the internet has inserted itself deeper and deeper into our daily lives, to the point where every aspect of our lives are now run through it. So it is a tad shocking, albeit not surprising, to see AI bots swooping in to now take control of the whole thing. To what end? To the time of the prophets and the Days of Noah.

“And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:17 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Cloudflare says that automated bot traffic has now passed human web traffic, with bots accounting for roughly 57.4% to 57.5% of HTTP requests across selected websites, compared with about 42.5% to 42.6% from humans. This is not merely about the old search-engine crawlers indexing websites for Google, Bing, or other platforms. The new wave is being driven by AI agents, scrapers, automated browsers, commercial bots, and machine-to-machine traffic operating at a scale human users cannot match. Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince said this shift happened faster than he expected, after previously projecting that bots would overtake human traffic closer to 2027. The spiritual application is obvious. Man built the internet thinking he was creating the ultimate human communication system, but it is rapidly becoming a machine-driven environment where automated intelligence increasingly mediates what people see, read, buy, believe, and trust. That is not a neutral development. It is part of the accelerating end-times infrastructure of control, surveillance, deception, and counterfeit knowledge. What we are watching is not simply a tech trend. It is the continued transformation of the internet from a human communications network into an automated control grid, where AI systems do the searching, filtering, summarizing, recommending, suppressing, ranking, and eventually transacting. The bots are no longer just visiting the web, they’re running it.

Donald Trump’s Iran War Sparks Stunning House Rebuke As Republican Defectors In Congress Expose Deep Cracks In The ‘America First’ Movement

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

‘America First’ Fractures As House Congressional Republicans Join Democrats To Rebuke Trump Over His Unauthorized Iran War

The House vote to rebuke Trump over the Iran war is not merely a “symbolic” slap on the wrist — it is a warning flare from deep inside his own political camp. When Republican leadership has to argue that Congress exercising its constitutional war powers would “weaken the president’s hand,” what they are really admitting is that Trump’s hand is already weak. A strong president does not need Congress to surrender its authority in order to look strong at the negotiating table. The facade is slipping.

“Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.” Jeremiah 17:5 (KJB)

The resolution passed 215–208, with four Republicans joining Democrats to demand that Trump seek congressional authorization or withdraw from military action in Iran. That does not mean the entire Republican Party has abandoned him, but it absolutely means the old automatic loyalty is cracking. The vote came after earlier failed attempts, making this one politically significant because enough Republicans finally broke away to put it over the top. What makes this so damaging is the contradiction at the heart of Trump’s political brand. He ran as the man who would end endless wars, drain the swamp, confront the foreign policy establishment, and put America First. Yet here he is, presiding over another Middle East war, with Congress now having to drag the White House back toward the Constitution. That is not strength. That is the very Washington war machine Trump once promised to defeat.

These GOP defectors are not simply siding with Democrats. They are exposing a fault line inside the MAGA movement itself. Is “America First” a real doctrine, or just campaign-stage decoration that gets tossed aside the moment the drums of war start beating? If Trump can wage war with Iran without clear congressional authorization, then the constitutional conservative argument collapses into personality worship. Republican leaders claim this vote weakens Trump in negotiations with Iran. No — the war weakened him. The rising costs weakened him. The lack of a clean exit weakened him. The failure to secure a durable settlement weakened him. Congress did not create the weakness; Congress exposed it.

The House resolution was opposed by Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and most Republicans, who complained that it undermines Trump and his top negotiators when they are trying to secure a nuclear deal with Iran. Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast, R-Fla., called Wednesday’s action “just a total BS vote.” source

The House vote is a public rebuke of a president whose own party is beginning to realize that bravado is not strategy, escalation is not victory, and loyalty to Trump is not the same thing as loyalty to the US Constitution. For years, Republicans warned about unchecked executive power — until that power belonged to their man. Now, with American forces entangled in Iran and the War Powers clock already blown past, a few Republicans are finally remembering that Congress, not the president, has the authority to declare war. This is even bigger than a Capitol Hill fight. America is being pulled deeper into the Middle East firestorm while its leaders pretend they are in control. They are not. Iran, Israel, the Gulf, oil prices, military escalation, congressional rebellion — all of it points to a superpower strained, divided, and spiritually blind while the voice of the prophets grows louder by the day.
