Good evening, and welcome to #ourCOG Daily Brief for February 10, 2026.

Today in world news, Iran continues to urge attendance at rallies marking the anniversary of its revolution, even as many citizens reportedly feel more estranged than ever due to ongoing brutality. Meanwhile, in the exhilarating world of Olympic slopestyle skiing, athletes are finding immense joy and creativity amidst the inevitable face-plants that come with daring tricks. Lastly, Bangladesh, having ousted an autocrat in 2024, is at a critical juncture. While some of the interim government’s ambitious goals have yet to materialize, upcoming elections offer a crucial opportunity for the nation to forge a new democratic path. There was no explicit U.S. news provided for this segment today.

Turning to our latest videos, we have “An Inside Update with Perry and Pam Stone 1080,” a recent “Chapel” service featuring Phil and Tonya Cook from February 10, 2026, and a powerful short reminding us that “Every day you choose between fear and faith” with the hashtags #shorts #faithoverfear #jesus.

From the FaithNews RSS feed, the latest headlines include a “Church Planting Intensive Set for March 11-13,” news that a “Church Files Emergency Appeal to Resume Worship,” an update that “‘The Bible Recap’ Hits Top 100 on Apple Podcasts,” and a report on a “Multi Million Dollar Gift Launching a New Era for SMCH.”

In prophecy news, we’re tracking a variety of stories. President Donald Trump recently reflected on his eternal soul at the 74th National Prayer Breakfast, pondering his chances at heaven and stating, “I did a hell of a lot of good for perfect people.” House Oversight Chairman James Comer has launched an investigation into companies linked to Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s husband, citing an unexpected surge in their value. US President Donald Trump is reportedly relying on Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of CENTCOM, as a crisis diplomat in ongoing negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program. Finally, Senator Chuck Schumer is facing criticism after controversially calling voter ID measures “Jim Crow 2.0,” reigniting debates about election security and proposed legislation like the SAVE Act.

Finally, in Jewish history, looking back to February 11th, we note the mysterious death of Tiberius Claudius Caesar Britannicus in 55 CE, which cleared the path for Nero to become Emperor of Rome. While Britannicus’s views on the Jewish people, Judea, or Jerusalem remain unknown, one can’t help but wonder if things might have been better had he ruled instead of Nero, whose record concerning the Jews was quite mixed, even blaming them for burning Rome and appointing inept governors to Judea. It seems the world, including the Jewish world, would likely have benefited from Britannicus’s reign. We also note that in 641 CE, the sixty-five-year-old Byzantine Emperor Heraclius, an Armenian Christian, was active.

That concludes our Daily Brief for February 10, 2026. Good night, and we’ll see you tomorrow.
