*****************************
601. Archbishop Vigano Has a Plan - June 21, 2022
Summer has been here in Texas for weeks but, on this, the first day of summer when heat is always in the news, a different kind of heat is building. Prophetic heat. Signs of the times. The arrival of the final principles of Jehovah God, the Creator, the Sovereign of the Universe, Saviour and Lord versus the policies of Lucifer, Satan, the Devil, murderer from the beginning and father of lies, 'prince of the power of the air, ruler and god of this world.
Just because it claims to be for God, does not mean it is. The conception of deception developed in the mind of Lucifer in Heaven was to create counterfeits. Everything has a counterfeit, a look-a-like replacement that has faults only seen by the eyes of those who know the Word of God. Well, honestly, even those who are not connected to God can often see the duplicity in the counterfeits. They just miss the intent and reasons for it but, make no mistake. The Devil is a good devil. Lots of history to perfect his machinations. Take a look at this:
https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/abp-vigano-freemasonry-is-using-the-who-and-the-bergoglian-church-to-advance-its-global-coup/
*Archbishop Carlo Vigano, new champion of freedom and liberty?
*Freemasonry. Known for a very long time of its nefarious nature and purposes, even while its lower adherents think it's a pretty decent group of helpful citizens.
*The World Health Organization. Just a front for the New World Order combining elements of controlling medicine through giant pharmaceutical conglomerates, and control of climate change through other restrictions of freedom and liberty, etc. thus controlling humanity.
*The Bergoglian Church, i.e. the the wing of the Roman Catholic Church influenced and run by Pope Francis: Jorge Mario Bergoglio.
*Globalism. The movement to control planet Earth from some high seats of financial power.
As good as the interview might read, I am just going to give you one question and answer that tells the whole story.
"A Manocchia: In this work of reconstruction, in which the Anti-Globalist Alliance you have initiated will play a decisive role, what will be the first initiatives to be launched?
"Archbishop Viganò: It will be necessary to implement a far-sighted and wide-ranging project, which has as its purpose the intellectual, scientific, cultural, political and even religious formation of the future ruling class, endowing it with the capacity for critical judgment and firm moral references. Schools and foundations will have to be set up from which will emerge a ruling class of righteous citizens, honest rulers, and entrepreneurs who know how to reconcile the legitimate demands of profit with workers’ rights and consumer protection.
"Those who hold public office, like every honest citizen, must be aware that they have responsibility before God for what they do, and that they must put the common good before personal interest, if they want to sanctify themselves in the role that the Lord has assigned to them and deserve paradise. We must educate children and young people in honesty, in a sense of duty and discipline, in the practice of the cardinal virtues as a coherent consequence of the theological virtues; in the responsibility of knowing that good and evil exist, and that our freedom consists in moving in the sphere of what is Good, because this is what God has willed for us. You are my friends, if you do what I command you, Our Lord said (Jn 15:14). And this also applies to public affairs, where morality has been replaced with corruption, seeking personal gain, the abuse of laws, the betrayal of citizens and cowardly enslavement to hostile powers. Let’s take an example from the allegory of good government, depicted by Ambrogio Lorenzetti in the halls of the Palazzo Comunale in Siena: we will find that simplicity of principles which inspired and guided the public authorities in the Italian municipalities [Comuni] of the fifteenth century.
There are enough red flags in those two paragraphs to block out a sunrise.
#1. The very nature of the American experiment was NO RULING CLASS. Government was of, by and for the people, with elected civil servants maintaining adherence to the the rule of law in a Constitutional Republic that had limited government, with a Bill of Rights that was predicated on the principle that rights come from God, not man, and no church could or would have any authority over the civil government, nor would civil government have authority over establishments of religion. All citizens have a right, a God-given right to worship as they are convicted of conscience to do so, liberty to speak and protest the elected civil servants, and right to protect themselves, their families and property in owning firearms. Of course, it's a two-edged sword. Bad people get ahold of guns and do bad things with them. You do not take away rights and firearms from law-biding citizens because of some bad people, who will continue to have guns and hurt good citizens unable to protect themselves. A RULING CLASS will always seek to take away anything that threatens their rule. That's history. American history began just as Vigano lays out and look where it is. He states it. What is the process of corruption, cowardice, enslavement, abuse of laws and going after personal gain? It's a natural departure from God.
#2. Nobody deserves Paradise. Nobody deserves eternal life in Heaven. Nobody deserves salvation. We deserve death because we are sinners and "the wages of sin is death." The gift of God is eternal life. A gift. You do not earn it. You cannot earn it. Roman Catholicism has done more to corrupt the Earth through its errors and policies than most other powers combined. Putting itself in place of Christ, made it antichrist. It is a hierarchy. It is the very epitome of a union of church and state and the Vatican IS A STATE power, a nation. It is the very thing the Founders of America would have none of, knowing where it leads. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Romanism is the depths of establishments of religion that it would love civil power to endorse and legitimize through legislation.
#3. Just what IS GOOD? Entire books have been written on the subject.
"I missed my plane."
"Oh, that's bad."
"No, that good. I just heard the news. It crashed."
"Good" versus "Bad" can be very convoluted. It can easily be manipulated for "the common good" at the expense of personal freedom and liberty, especially by a "ruling class."
You cannot educate people to be moral. Morality is not an influence that goes from outside in. It comes from God and is instilled inside and works its way outside into the world a person lives in. Holiness is a virtue that cannot be educated into a person. Nor can virtues of any kind. But, that is Romanism. A constant round of things done to gain virtue, morality and goodness. You cannot educate children to be come a moral ruling class. Civil government is not about morals. Civil government is about people being civil to each other. No group of elected civil servants was ever intended to be a class of moral guides for the citizenry. They are not pastors. They are politicians engaged in the affairs of state, not church.
The paintings of Lorenzetti, Vigano refers to, are six frescoes that show the artist's understanding of Good Government, Bad Government and the effects of each. Look them up. Lots of info online about the paintings and the hall they reside in. Pictured are principles in personhood, like Justice, Peace, Temperance and Fortitude, etc. In the paintings of Bad Government we see things like War, Fraud, Deceit and Tyranny represented.
The problem has always been and will always be the human heart, the mind of man, fallen, needing correction and more than that, spiritual change. Government is not involved with spiritual change. It is involved in the maintenance of civility. The entire history of kings and kingdoms is a history of corruption of good men trying to make bad people good, and bad men trying to lord it over everybody. There is never a balance of proper distance between the religion of the culture and the state. The RCC, Islam, and other religions are the state. Man-made rules and laws of the institution come first and woe to those who challenge it. The very fact Vigano is rejecting his Pope's, the Vicar of Christ's influence over the church he resides in and is part of, shows the inherent problem. Romanism is not the answer. Romanism is the problem, and it is found in everything. It is the ascendance of man.
The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and Bill of Rights were a historic balance of the two powers that work in harmony or at odds on Earth. A separation of church and state but, not a separation of God from state. Until now. Now we have, not elected civil servants from the citizenry, who do their job and go back to their private lives. Now we have career politicians who are not servants, they are rulers who have rejected the place of God in government affairs in humanity.
What Vigano is proposing is a world order of morals in government, through education. Good luck with that. If everything that exists were torn down and replaced with Vigano's system, it might start out fine and then, over time, a short time, the same problems that exist now would enter because unless man is born again, the nature that controls him is fallen, and self will always corrupt things. Always.
The New World Order, Great Reset versus Vigano's Romanism of Reconstruction, Anti-Globalist Alliance.
What could go wrong?
Vigano's ruling class is going to come some day soon. When it does, as "good" as it will seem, it will mark the end of the world because it will not endorse the will of God as stated in His Word and in His commandments. No. It will contain corruptions, man-made rejection of a Thus Saith The Lord, especially the fourth commandment of the decalogue, as found in Exodus 20. That is Rome. That is this world under the control of the god of this world.
Only a, the prophesied 'remnant' will take its stand against it; keeping the commandments of God and having the faith and testimony of Jesus Christ.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Just because it claims to be for God, does not mean it is. The conception of deception developed in the mind of Lucifer in Heaven was to create counterfeits. Everything has a counterfeit, a look-a-like replacement that has faults only seen by the eyes of those who know the Word of God. Well, honestly, even those who are not connected to God can often see the duplicity in the counterfeits. They just miss the intent and reasons for it but, make no mistake. The Devil is a good devil.

If everything that exists were torn down and replaced with Vigano's system, it might start out fine and then, over time, a short time, the same problems that exist now would enter because unless man is born again, the nature that controls him is fallen, and self will always corrupt things. Always.
The New World Order, Great Reset versus Vigano's Romanism of Reconstruction, Anti-Globalist Alliance.
What could go wrong?
Vigano's ruling class is going to come some day soon. When it does, as "good" as it will seem, it will mark the end of the world because it will not endorse the will of God as stated in His Word and in His commandments. No. It will contain corruptions, man-made rejection of a Thus Saith The Lord, especially the fourth commandment of the decalogue, as found in Exodus 20. That is Rome. That is this world under the control of the god of this world.
Only a, the prophesied 'remnant' will take its stand against it; keeping the commandments of God and having the faith and testimony of Jesus Christ.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

The Depopulationist Plan Is Working
I pretty much stopped getting into Covid news awhile back. If you come here regularly, by now you have your own sources of news and are seeing the same things. The most evil, reprehensible, despotic action ever perpetuated in a single event in human history is now understood by billions who wait to see if the injections will debilitate them or their loved ones. New reports are out there. If you are unaware of them... well, read them at your own stamina level for bad news. Here's one.
https://noqreport.com/2022/06/21/molecular-biologist-human-genome-poisoned-by-mrna-vaccines-can-be-passed-on-to-future-generations/
With the new knowledge that half of the information Pfizer had on test trials was never reported on how the injections effect young children, and now finding out half of the ingredients in the injections were not reported, and finding out the miscarriage rate has skyrocketed to 90% in some places, a new study, actually more than one, showing the mRNA injections lower sperm count, that morticians are swamped, that insurance companies have paid out more money than ever, since the rollout of the injections, anyone who denies the nefarious and disgusting nature of the entire event and what it was for, is just unwilling to see the truth. None of us will escape this, in all its evil tendrils. Five billion people injected with a gene altering serum.
God help us.

602. More Thoughts on AGI - June 25, 2022 **
With the exponential increase and speed at which computers have accelerated, as well as the abilities of robotics, and with all the articles and books being written to assure we humans AGI will never become "human" or do what humans do, and be what they are, I'd like to bring out a point that makes it all, rather moot.
A new book that's out:, Non-Computable You: What You Do That Artificial Intelligence Never Will, by Robert J. Marks II, from the Discovery Institute Press states it in this paragraph:
“Emotions that make us human will never be duplicated by a machine,” says Marks. “These include compassion, love, empathy, elation, sadness, fear, anger, disgust, pleasure, pride, excitement, embarrassment, regret, jealousy, grief, hope, and faith. Properly defined, creativity, sentience, and understanding are also on the list. These and other non-algorithmic traits are evidence of non-computable you.”
First, according to the testimony of some in the industry, some AI programs can already write code for themselves. They are not waiting for humans to write programs for them, to input information and learn from it. If an AI program can write its own code, and can ultimately download any and all info available to it off the Web, take that first mark of humanity Marks places before our minds - compassion.
It is logical to believe a computer program can never possess true compassion. It's a trait known to humans and in some cases animals, like dogs. Dogs sense when an owner is depressed or discouraged. They draw closer to us, to seemingly give us what comfort they can, from the beings they are. You know what I'm talking about if you have experienced it with your own pet. Elephants are remarkably compassionate as a species. They not only show compassion for other elephants when traumatized but, I read a story about a herd that had wonderful experiences with a man who worked with them, and when he died, nobody told them. They traversed many miles to show up and pay him tribute with their presence and seemingly comfort those who lost this loved one.
While it's unlikely any computer program could ever exhibit such a character trait, expressed as innate (and even some humans have no compassion), what do you suppose happens if AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), learns everything about compassion, as information? Could it exhibit artificial compassion? Could it develop artificial "love, empathy, elation, sadness, fear, anger, disgust, pleasure, pride, excitement, embarrassment, regret, jealousy, grief, hope, and faith?" Everything is a parcel of information. How many books have been written on love? That's a lot of information. Does it matter if a computer program cannot experience love as a feeling but, can exhibit it as a principle? Love, in fact, is a principle. Feelings come with it but, love is a principle that functions on principles found in life for men, women, parents, friendships, citizenship, ownership, etc.
The author says creativity cannot be had by a computer. Au Contraire. That is already happening, as I mentioned last time. Programs are creating visual representations of what you type in as suggestions or requests. The program takes that information and with its own stored information creates a picture of it that can look like a painting, a photograph, a cartoon, CGI, whatever medium chosen. People are flocking to the website that features a very basic version of the program.
Sentience. Artificial sentience. First, what is the general definition of the term? The ability to experience feelings and sensations. Is a computer program ever going to experience cold or hot, sweet or sour, or bitter? Would that not depend on sensors designed for such capacity in a robot that can distinguish physical, chemical parameters of each? Everything has some kind of chemical base and details. If a thermometer can discern between hot and cold, would anyone doubt that science will give computers an ability to discern any parameter of physical existence? I have no doubt research will be able to replicate the minutia of mechanical taste buds. Look how small computer chips have become? Nanobots.
For one thing, robots have no need for nutrition to exist. It is not essential. For the sexbot industry, growing by leaps and bounds, well, consider where the industry was just a couple years ago, all of computerization, for that matter. Remember when everyone used landline phones? No, some of you reading will not. You never used one. You only know cell phones. And some of you don't even remember when cell phones were just phones. I lived in the time of "rabbit ears." That's what people had, to pick up the invisible signal sent out from towers, to watch television, in black and white, no less. Nobody can argue against the exponential growth of knowledge and its applications. We only know satellites are "up there" because we're told so. What the tens of thousands of them up there do, is a mind-boggling array of tasks that work with a mind-boggling array of things we do down here. They do not eat. What would make people think robots need to feel anything at all? They only need to perform whatever duties they're designed for. In military applications the lack of feeling makes an AI soldier that much more deadly. No fear, no conscience, no hesitation, no pain; just defeat and death of an enemy.
Artificial understanding. In some cases, already here. You can watch robots talk on YouTube and realize they have artificial understanding on some subjects and real understanding on others, by default, because they can learn more and learn faster than humans. A robot "brain" does not need to experience the sensation of love, when it can mimic all the definitions and terms used to describe it. That is the point: artificial intelligence; artificial everything. We already function in a world with artificial wood, artificial rocks, artificial flowers, artificial leather, artificial "furs," and artificial meat! It's been that way for over half a century.
I watched four people discuss the issue of AGI on a stage, at some kind of conference. There was no date on the YT video but, I know it was not recent because they were stating things that would take years to develop that are already here, now.
Consciousness. Aware of one's surroundings and existing in them. Consciousness, among scientists, does not even have a generally accepted definition. Remember there is a difference between the brain, and the mind, and with them consciousness and conscience.
In a Materialistic, Naturalistic, rather godless scientific community, questions of morality are left for philosophers to address. There is no real care for the future of robotics where that is concerned for most applications envisioned. In the mind of the scientist, better that a robot have no intrinsic understanding of morality or guilt. It is all programming of information and working to have the robotic brain discern parameters to use the information itself, in its machine existence, removed from any human barriers.
When a computer tells you it can lie but, would not want to do so, to strain any relationship between humans and AGI, you know you have already crossed a line. It's crossed. Its fascination is as such that nobody in the industry is going to stop or retreat. Having a conversation with a robot or a CGI male or female on a screen in front of you would have to be ten thousand times more amazing than making the first light bulb. What would Thomas Edison have said, when that first successful light went on, or when Alexander Graham Bell pulled off the first conversation over a phone line, if told humans will one day send spaceships to Mars and operate robotic cars and cameras, and send space vehicles to all the planets and beyond, and talk to non-human machines who responded with more intelligence than most humans, by 2022? Few of us actually know what 2023 will bring, and any year beyond that will only deliver more, exponentially.
For humanity to function with "lifelike" robots does not require robots to be exactly like humans. If it all stopped right here and only the physical features of robotics kept developing to be more lifelike, the world will irrevocably change. It isn't going to stop there.
Any computer that reads everything out there about humanity will come away with, well, look at this statement:
"Thirty years ago, back in 1983, the biggest hard drives stored about 10MB of data. That’s barely enough to store two or three .mp3 tracks. Now, a typical notebook has one terabyte of storage or nearly 100,000 times more but even this is [sic] figure is laughable when you consider how much data we’re generating. According to IBM, every day we’re creating 2.5 quintillion bytes of data and 90% of today’s digital data was created in the last two years."
https://www.zmescience.com/science/how-big-data-can-get/
Memory and storage capacity of information is already cosmic in nature. When a robot has all that information inside it, and controls it, and performs things only thought to be able for humans, and humans are seen as faulty, which we are, a clash could take place. Why wouldn't AGI think to make humans better? What would that mean? That means transhumanism becomes, not just a human goal but, the logical computer goal, as well.
I remember a day, many years ago, working at a job and throwing something into a hopper and seeing "China" stamped on every box in that dumpster, and thinking to myself, nothing could be more stupid than giving a Communist nation the lion's share of productivity on the globe. If things stay the way they are, China will become the reigning superpower, and other satellite nations will gladly join its referendums and decisions on how to run a country, and robotics will be at the helm of it all. Programmed by godless humans who see religion as nonsense, and religious people as inferiors, and pure capitalism as inferior, in the way of "progress," people think there will not come clashes between humans and computers designed by the Chinese Communist Party in eventual control of everything?
Please, do let us have common sense.

603. Happiness - June 25, 2022
Reality check. Happiness.
Right now, you are unhappy with something. Could be, and probably is a number of things, not just one issue or matter messing with your peace and emotional stability.
Inflation and prices, obviously. That is stressing out most Americans and people around the world where the cascading of world events leaves no one untouched. After two years of lockdowns and injections, lies, and all the rest, as people are dying or becoming incapacitated by a host of various illnesses brought on by the bioweapons, it's extremely difficult to justify living on the basis of hard work and making something out of life when the powers that be couldn't care less if you die. They want you to die, unless you can do something they feel is necessary for their enrichment. 1984 and all that.
Human relationships - one of things God gave humanity to enrich its experience and bring a taste of Heaven to the earthly sojourn of each of us before eternal life begins again - have become such a tangled mess of warped input from really seriously ill people wanting to force or connive their bent sense of values upon us. It has strained relationships to tensions never seen before; between parents and children, between friends, relatives, and spouses. Political madness, political arrogance, political power mongers, political stupidity, political manipulation, political theft, political bold-faced liars... it has stressed out citizens of nations beyond breaking points. Even now, in America, political leaders and appointees are warning of a summer of chaos here. Well, they planned it. May as well tell everybody so people can stress even more.
SCOTUS made their decision on abortion, 5-4. Instantly, the Leftist chaos machine went into gear with calls to literally take down the building, protests erupted from shouts to screams. Violence was trumpeted against the 5. All over killing babies. And all they did was state the Constitution says nothing about abortion nor medical practices of any kind. The issue should have gone back to the states, originally. That's all that SCOTUS did. It's a decision for state level, not federal.
Bad news. There is no good news in America right now. None. Tell me what it is. I'd like to know it. A constant rising tide of bad news is wearing people out: designed to do so.
Yes, people are getting married. Though that new couple's desire to buy a new house is falling through the floor and the price to rent an apartment is shooting through the roof. They put off a honeymoon because funds for it are short and other concerns matter more, so they make the sacrifice and put it off for now.
Yes, new moms and dads are seeing babies develop inside mom's but, as millions who were injected realize the side effects include high rates of pregnancy loss... 9 months of stress cloud the sunshine of the event. If the baby is born, well, 9 months ago nobody expected empty shelves for baby formula and you have a job and need day care and can't breast feed. You can pump and supply but, it just adds another stress factor to take away bits of happiness.
Okay, stop, you say. You've read enough. Turn it off. I'm ruining your day.
I once read a story about an aged mother, a dying mother, who repeated the regrets of her life to her daughter, as she lay in the last place she ever would, and tenderly told that teary-eyed, loved woman to be happy. Be happy.
I once repeated that story at the end of sermon, at the end of a weekend of speaking about the times, to a large gathering of unhappy believers, watching the church of their fathers disintegrate, much like America is disintegrating now.
No sooner were the words "Be happy" past my lips when a gentleman in the back began to shake his head. Wrong, was written all over his face.
My own life was filled with a fair amount of unhappiness at the time. The idea of just being happy seemed so simple, yet so unbearably complicated. And as I looked at that man's face, it felt like two pathways stood before me. I began to qualify my remarks with some basic truths about seeking happiness, even as I felt I was cutting the ropes holding up a bridge between two cliffs, and just an endless chasm of nothing below me.
Many people believe you choose to be happy. Well, if happiness is chemically based, nobody chooses to increase a commodity of chemicals to increase within you. If happiness is event-based: hourly, weekly, monthly, yearly, and dependent on being thankful for the basics of life, loss of the basics of life pretty much topple that house of thoughts and feelings. If happiness is based on things, well, that belief has never been true and never can be because humans are more than the sum total of what they own. The poorest people in the world can be happy.
Americans like to talk about how great America is and proof of that is all the millions of people around the world trying to get here. We never hear about the millions who say, "No thanks." They see America, not as the place to "make it," to get wealthy, to make a better life than they can in a third-world, poor and hard existence, or some nation run by a despotic regime constantly making life a question mark and stress factor, times a hundred. They see America for what it is, a moral quagmire that will suck your soul right out of you. Right now, a majority of Americans believe the nation is morally corrupt. I was kind of surprised to see the results of that survey because, if it is, which it is, shouldn't a majority of corrupt people be stating America is not morally moving down a wrong path? Is a minority of morally corrupt people making America immoral?
How many times I listened to people in church life tell the story of how they came to America and watched their children taken from them, ruined by the culture, their family dissolved in front of their eyes. They left the sound of bullets whizzing by and had their hopes of relief dashed as they succumbed to what America has become: an immoral cesspool with a constant barrage of imagery plaguing the mind, worse than bullets risking life. I found such testimonies truly eye-opening and terribly heart-rending.
The word, "happiness," is not found in the KJV, my usual translation I read and study from. It is found a few times in some other translations; and still others, like Young's Literal Translation, places where "happy" is found, is replaced by "happiness," four dozen times. In the translations I own or use, it's just a matter of linguistics. The words are joined at the hip so, we'll say that word, those words are found around 50 times in just about any Bible out there.
The principles that are instantly seen make for a interesting read. I won't place all four dozen references here yet the stream of unity of thought in what you consistently see will be apparent.
I will place the very first reference found. Genesis. Always a good place to start.
Gen_30:13 And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.
Simple enough. Having a baby makes people happy and feel blessed. The second reference found addresses the people of God.
Deut 33:29 Happy art thou, O Israel: Who is like unto thee, a people saved by Jehovah, The shield of thy help, And the sword of thy excellency! And thine enemies shall submit themselves unto thee; And thou shalt tread upon their high places.
Before Moses died, he blessed Israel and the tribes. Israel was quite a people. They saw and experienced things like no other group of people on Earth. In all the hardships they went through in Moses' time, the fact they were the chosen people of God was reason to be happy. His provisions for them were consistent. Their triumphs were consistent. I must qualify that, though. Let me place one more reference here in its context. The queen of Sheba, coming from Africa to visit Israel and King Solomon, makes comment on her visit:
1Ki 10:1 And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions.
1Ki 10:2 And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
1Ki 10:3 And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not any thing hid from the king, which he told her not.
1Ki 10:4 And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built,
1Ki 10:5 And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.
1Ki 10:6 And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.
1Ki 10:7 Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.
1Ki 10:8 Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom.
1Ki 10:9 Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do judgment and justice.
The queen was duly impressed with the order, organization, judgment and justice of Solomon's reign. Everybody in the court seemed happy. Order, judgment and justice bring happiness. Chaos, and judgment of corruption bring unhappiness. Simple? In principle, yes. In practice? Obviously not, and America is suffering the results of chaos and corruption. Push away God, unhappiness will result. Injustice will take place and foul judgment and unhappiness will plague a nation that rejects the order of God.
Job 5:17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
Oops. Here we go. This is the next reference and we hit upon a sore spot already. Most people don't like being corrected. Leaders? One would logically think if someone is an elected civil servant, correction would be part of the process of serving. They are serving those who elected them, to do the bidding of those people in the confines of the rule of law and the limits of the Constitution upon them. Yet, the opposite abides. Elected civil servants become wannabe kings and queens, who seem to truly believe they can do whatever they want, for they are above the law, and the Constitution is just an old, parchment document. It means little to nothing for ruling in a modern world. And that is precisely what they do. They do not serve. They rule. Americans have allowed it to be.
For each of us, generally wanting our own way, not liking to be corrected when wrong; it's a principle that takes a connection with God to see and experience the blessing of it. No one who connects with God escapes it, and what we generally escape from - sending our ships into the rocks - is welcomed. It takes a connection and eyes to see and ears to hear when God is correcting. Correction can be subtle or quite cataclysmic. It is all about developing character. Again, as I have stated it before, THAT is the most important thing to our Creator: developing a character that can be brought into eternity. Correction, chastening, chastisement is part of that process. Israel experienced it time and time again. Unfortunately, they never learned enough from it to accept the Messiah when He finally arrived, the greatest blessing of all. His correction was not what the man-made institution wanted. He was healing everyone who came to Him. Hamlets, villages, towns all cleansed from illness and woe, and for three and a half years, rejoicing was taking place but, with the healing came instructions and the rejoicing cooled because the instructions called for denial of self and placing God in complete control of their lives. The system did not have capacity for such a message. Those in charge killed Him and silenced His voice... for three days.
Psa 144:15 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.
Psa 146:5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:
This principle is found throughout the Bible. Happiness in this life is bound to having a connection to the LORD. The blessings, the deliverance, the direction and purpose of God in the life is what life is all about. Seriously.
I know, I know. For the person who never heard a word about the Creator God, such a concept is so foreign it cannot be understood. And all the things placed before people to disbelieve such a concept has taken its toll. Perhaps Darwinism and public education is the lion's share of that. The culture has veered so far from the concept, yet, as I have shown here before, the Founders of this nation understood it and Adams said the nation could only function under the Constitution if it was moral and under the watchcare of God. The Constitution is unsuited to any other kind of people group. That is the foundation of America. It is largely gone, now.
Pro 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
The verse can be seen a couple ways. The first is the more traditional. Where there is no guidance from a prophet, the gift of prophecy, God's chosen messengers for the time needed, people perish. They walk or run, headlong into disaster.
The other is a more modern understanding, and you can go with it. Vision can be seen as foresight, not wholly removed from the prophetic gift but, more in line with coming up with direction in line with man figuring out a wise path. The vision for the Founders of the United States was a path of righteous justice, equality, prosperity, small government, big humanity. The current vision is opposite that, engulfed in ever bigger government intrusion into citizen's lives, and citizens choosing life with the order of God directing it. The nation and its people are perishing, by design, which is far worse than just ignorance and stupidity.
There is happiness in keeping God's laws. That is the opposite of the clarion call of current culture. It is the truth, though. Disobedience might bring a sense of thrill of getting away with something. That is not happiness. That is deception. Self-deception. Something destined to crumble under the weight of guilt at some point. If no guilt is sensed... that is a place no human being should be found in. That is the most dangerous position the human mind can be in.
I can put all the places being happy is found in the Bible and it is always associated with a connection to God. Any semblance of happiness out of harmony with God's will is a falsehood, a fake, a replacement that deep down inside only works when a person is in total control but, life always shows us, we are not in total control. In place of that, people think the best education, the best career, possessions, wealth, power - these things will guarantee happiness. Nope. Never. Emptiness will always be found in the person who goes down that road.
Only one power is in total control, and that is Jehovah, the Creator, the Sovereign. Then there is the controversy, the war between Lucifer and Christ, with Lucifer, by Adam's choice and sin, being the ruler, the god of this world. Then it comes down to those who stand on God's side and those who stand on Satan's side. The Devil's side is constantly blurred, even to the point of making it seem his side, is God's side. Unhappiness is everywhere because of the confusion he has brought to this world, to the rebellion he has instilled in it, and because of it all, the world is coming to an end in the greatest show of unhappiness this world will ever experience. So great will the deception be that when the cry, Peace and safety, is heard and received, sudden destruction will follow it, 1 Thes. 5:1-4.
There is true happiness and a false happiness. It is up to each of us to figure out which is which, and that takes critical thinking and that takes a real connection to God, in His Word, in the principles of His character, government and purposes and acting in accordance with them. Anything else will bring unhappiness.
This is not to say those who follow Christ are always happy. No. Not even close. Peace in the midst of storm is the thing promised but, in no way did God ever promise anyone that following Him will bring a bed of roses. Not when the world is at war with Him, and even itself. Death is the enemy. It strikes every family and everyone at some point. Illness may take its toll. Just growing old does. Plenty of unhappiness in its aches and pains. Nobody is absolved but, at least in all the conflicts of life that God sends or allows, to build character in each of us, is always on a foundation of love, trust, and knowing a time will come when all of this mess will finally be over.
We are living in the greatest time in human history. The time of the end. Should that make us happy? I'm not sure I would go that far but, I will say, it gives us hope. The Word of God gives hope. Hope brings peace. Peace brings resilience and fortitude.
Happiness is a perception within time and circumstances. Conditions can affect it. Conditions can enhance it or dehance it. Hope? Nothing can affect that, if we know the Lord, and are connected to Him.
That is why the second coming of Christ is called the blessed hope.
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,
teaching us that having denied ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live discreetly, righteously and godly, in this present world,
looking for the blessed hope, and the appearance of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
who gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from all iniquity and purify to Himself a special people, zealous of good works. Titus 2:11-14 MKJV
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Right now, you are unhappy with something. Could be, and probably is a number of things, not just one issue or matter messing with your peace and emotional stability.
Inflation and prices, obviously. That is stressing out most Americans and people around the world where the cascading of world events leaves no one untouched. After two years of lockdowns and injections, lies, and all the rest, as people are dying or becoming incapacitated by a host of various illnesses brought on by the bioweapons, it's extremely difficult to justify living on the basis of hard work and making something out of life when the powers that be couldn't care less if you die. They want you to die, unless you can do something they feel is necessary for their enrichment. 1984 and all that.
Human relationships - one of things God gave humanity to enrich its experience and bring a taste of Heaven to the earthly sojourn of each of us before eternal life begins again - have become such a tangled mess of warped input from really seriously ill people wanting to force or connive their bent sense of values upon us. It has strained relationships to tensions never seen before; between parents and children, between friends, relatives, and spouses. Political madness, political arrogance, political power mongers, political stupidity, political manipulation, political theft, political bold-faced liars... it has stressed out citizens of nations beyond breaking points. Even now, in America, political leaders and appointees are warning of a summer of chaos here. Well, they planned it. May as well tell everybody so people can stress even more.
SCOTUS made their decision on abortion, 5-4. Instantly, the Leftist chaos machine went into gear with calls to literally take down the building, protests erupted from shouts to screams. Violence was trumpeted against the 5. All over killing babies. And all they did was state the Constitution says nothing about abortion nor medical practices of any kind. The issue should have gone back to the states, originally. That's all that SCOTUS did. It's a decision for state level, not federal.
Bad news. There is no good news in America right now. None. Tell me what it is. I'd like to know it. A constant rising tide of bad news is wearing people out: designed to do so.
Yes, people are getting married. Though that new couple's desire to buy a new house is falling through the floor and the price to rent an apartment is shooting through the roof. They put off a honeymoon because funds for it are short and other concerns matter more, so they make the sacrifice and put it off for now.
Yes, new moms and dads are seeing babies develop inside mom's but, as millions who were injected realize the side effects include high rates of pregnancy loss... 9 months of stress cloud the sunshine of the event. If the baby is born, well, 9 months ago nobody expected empty shelves for baby formula and you have a job and need day care and can't breast feed. You can pump and supply but, it just adds another stress factor to take away bits of happiness.
Okay, stop, you say. You've read enough. Turn it off. I'm ruining your day.
I once read a story about an aged mother, a dying mother, who repeated the regrets of her life to her daughter, as she lay in the last place she ever would, and tenderly told that teary-eyed, loved woman to be happy. Be happy.
I once repeated that story at the end of sermon, at the end of a weekend of speaking about the times, to a large gathering of unhappy believers, watching the church of their fathers disintegrate, much like America is disintegrating now.
No sooner were the words "Be happy" past my lips when a gentleman in the back began to shake his head. Wrong, was written all over his face.
My own life was filled with a fair amount of unhappiness at the time. The idea of just being happy seemed so simple, yet so unbearably complicated. And as I looked at that man's face, it felt like two pathways stood before me. I began to qualify my remarks with some basic truths about seeking happiness, even as I felt I was cutting the ropes holding up a bridge between two cliffs, and just an endless chasm of nothing below me.
Many people believe you choose to be happy. Well, if happiness is chemically based, nobody chooses to increase a commodity of chemicals to increase within you. If happiness is event-based: hourly, weekly, monthly, yearly, and dependent on being thankful for the basics of life, loss of the basics of life pretty much topple that house of thoughts and feelings. If happiness is based on things, well, that belief has never been true and never can be because humans are more than the sum total of what they own. The poorest people in the world can be happy.
Americans like to talk about how great America is and proof of that is all the millions of people around the world trying to get here. We never hear about the millions who say, "No thanks." They see America, not as the place to "make it," to get wealthy, to make a better life than they can in a third-world, poor and hard existence, or some nation run by a despotic regime constantly making life a question mark and stress factor, times a hundred. They see America for what it is, a moral quagmire that will suck your soul right out of you. Right now, a majority of Americans believe the nation is morally corrupt. I was kind of surprised to see the results of that survey because, if it is, which it is, shouldn't a majority of corrupt people be stating America is not morally moving down a wrong path? Is a minority of morally corrupt people making America immoral?
How many times I listened to people in church life tell the story of how they came to America and watched their children taken from them, ruined by the culture, their family dissolved in front of their eyes. They left the sound of bullets whizzing by and had their hopes of relief dashed as they succumbed to what America has become: an immoral cesspool with a constant barrage of imagery plaguing the mind, worse than bullets risking life. I found such testimonies truly eye-opening and terribly heart-rending.
The word, "happiness," is not found in the KJV, my usual translation I read and study from. It is found a few times in some other translations; and still others, like Young's Literal Translation, places where "happy" is found, is replaced by "happiness," four dozen times. In the translations I own or use, it's just a matter of linguistics. The words are joined at the hip so, we'll say that word, those words are found around 50 times in just about any Bible out there.
The principles that are instantly seen make for a interesting read. I won't place all four dozen references here yet the stream of unity of thought in what you consistently see will be apparent.
I will place the very first reference found. Genesis. Always a good place to start.
Gen_30:13 And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.
Simple enough. Having a baby makes people happy and feel blessed. The second reference found addresses the people of God.
Deut 33:29 Happy art thou, O Israel: Who is like unto thee, a people saved by Jehovah, The shield of thy help, And the sword of thy excellency! And thine enemies shall submit themselves unto thee; And thou shalt tread upon their high places.
Before Moses died, he blessed Israel and the tribes. Israel was quite a people. They saw and experienced things like no other group of people on Earth. In all the hardships they went through in Moses' time, the fact they were the chosen people of God was reason to be happy. His provisions for them were consistent. Their triumphs were consistent. I must qualify that, though. Let me place one more reference here in its context. The queen of Sheba, coming from Africa to visit Israel and King Solomon, makes comment on her visit:
1Ki 10:1 And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions.
1Ki 10:2 And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
1Ki 10:3 And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not any thing hid from the king, which he told her not.
1Ki 10:4 And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built,
1Ki 10:5 And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.
1Ki 10:6 And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.
1Ki 10:7 Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.
1Ki 10:8 Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom.
1Ki 10:9 Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do judgment and justice.
The queen was duly impressed with the order, organization, judgment and justice of Solomon's reign. Everybody in the court seemed happy. Order, judgment and justice bring happiness. Chaos, and judgment of corruption bring unhappiness. Simple? In principle, yes. In practice? Obviously not, and America is suffering the results of chaos and corruption. Push away God, unhappiness will result. Injustice will take place and foul judgment and unhappiness will plague a nation that rejects the order of God.
Job 5:17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
Oops. Here we go. This is the next reference and we hit upon a sore spot already. Most people don't like being corrected. Leaders? One would logically think if someone is an elected civil servant, correction would be part of the process of serving. They are serving those who elected them, to do the bidding of those people in the confines of the rule of law and the limits of the Constitution upon them. Yet, the opposite abides. Elected civil servants become wannabe kings and queens, who seem to truly believe they can do whatever they want, for they are above the law, and the Constitution is just an old, parchment document. It means little to nothing for ruling in a modern world. And that is precisely what they do. They do not serve. They rule. Americans have allowed it to be.
For each of us, generally wanting our own way, not liking to be corrected when wrong; it's a principle that takes a connection with God to see and experience the blessing of it. No one who connects with God escapes it, and what we generally escape from - sending our ships into the rocks - is welcomed. It takes a connection and eyes to see and ears to hear when God is correcting. Correction can be subtle or quite cataclysmic. It is all about developing character. Again, as I have stated it before, THAT is the most important thing to our Creator: developing a character that can be brought into eternity. Correction, chastening, chastisement is part of that process. Israel experienced it time and time again. Unfortunately, they never learned enough from it to accept the Messiah when He finally arrived, the greatest blessing of all. His correction was not what the man-made institution wanted. He was healing everyone who came to Him. Hamlets, villages, towns all cleansed from illness and woe, and for three and a half years, rejoicing was taking place but, with the healing came instructions and the rejoicing cooled because the instructions called for denial of self and placing God in complete control of their lives. The system did not have capacity for such a message. Those in charge killed Him and silenced His voice... for three days.
Psa 144:15 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.
Psa 146:5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:

Shocker: Chris Rice
My first exposure to Chris Rice was back in 2006, when a friend asked me what I thought of his music. I had never heard of his ministry before. He is a gifted songwriting, storytelling composer.
This morning I was exposed to charges made against him for sexual grooming/homosexual assault when he was in his 30's, twenty years ago.
I don't bring this up to sensationalize. I post it here that people should be vigilant and aware of the times we live in.
It has been unfair to make sexual scandals with youth a Roman Catholic problem, which has taken place for many centuries. Just because the stories are "bigger" and involve more numbers of individuals involved, it must be recognized it is a problem in Protestant churches, as well: a sign of the times.
Forces are at work to bring down humanity to the lowest levels possible; to weaken the standard man is made in God's image and likeness [with His character]; to mar the image of God in man to ever more confused and dark degrees. Sin is becoming ubiquitous. It will get worse, not better.
Rice has not commented and hopefully it is a repented-of time in his life and he gained victory to get past it. Now comes accountability and responsibility, if things go in that direction. It's just a shock to see such a story, knowing his work.
https://www.christianitydaily.com/articles/16309/20220624/ccm-singer-chris-rice-accused-sexual-assault-grooming-new-report.htm
This is the time, the prophetic cleansing of the Heavenly sanctuary in the "day of Atonement," that all sin be addressed and repented of, and put away. It is the cleansing of God's people - His temple on Earth; the preparation for translation to Heaven when Jesus returns. It is a time of conviction for all of us. He is coming for a glorious, clean church, not a dirty one. No spots, no wrinkles, no blemishes (blame, fault), Eph. 5:22.
It is not a new message. It is an ancient one - Be holy, for I am holy, Lev. 11:44. Be perfect, as your Father in Heaven is perfect, Matt. 5:48.
1Jn 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
1Jn 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand. That was John the Baptist's message 2,000 years ago. It is the same message necessary today.

604. RvW - June 25, 2022
Abortion is one of the biggest issues tearing the Republic apart. Has been that was for decades. It's as literal a civil war as anything could be.
I am pro-life, logically. Not just from a biblical viewpoint but, a logical one, as well. Science shows what life is - it's in cells to begin with. Cells are life, complex life, not microscopic dots of jelly. Sperm and egg join, in a seriously complex procedure and process that has instantaneous safe-checks and barriers and walls that are incredibly designed. They could not possibly be accidents, genetic mutations. The cells begin to multiply by astronomical numbers with more information stored in each one than all the libraries in America. Life. I stand for created, designed life.
The thing is, SCOTUS does not make law. Congress does. All these decades a SCOTUS decision has been taken as the law of the land when we know that is not so because right now, a Leftist run Congress is trying to figure out how to make a law protecting the killing of babies through abortion. Congress knows SCOTUS does not make laws. It only addresses, by design, if laws are constitutional - within the framework of the Constitution. There is nothing in the Constitution about medical procedures. SCOTUS had nothing to go by except the Founding principles of Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of happiness based on the rule of law. SCOTUS was Leftist in the days of RvW. Today, SCOTUS is more Right, hence a 5-4 decision to send the matter back to the states, where it should have stayed to begin with, and then state legislatures, based on their state Constitutions, have to address the issue of guarding life.
All the vitriolic hatred of SCOTUS right now and calls for literal violence towards the 5, is not just wrong, legally speaking - for laws exist to stand against such intimidation and certainly any planned and executed actions - it is logically wrong because states will either decide for or against. Don't like a state's decision? Move. The West coast has already determined, without any legislative debate, abortion will stand. Texas and Tennessee have already decided to outlaw abortion, and other states will join that decision. The North East coast will likely allow abortions.
The national political dynamic is going to call this, state to state, not the logic of the rule of law. Religion will decide this, where religious citizenry outnumber the non-religious, and even there, Conservative against Liberal in professed Christianity, which is the majority religion in America.
The "Black" communities are predicted to grow because that community is the most heavily impacted by abortion BY DESIGN of Planned Parenthood founder, Margaret Sanger. Darwin was a racist, as were those who stood with his opinions. The change of public education in America testifies to the cult of death spawned by Darwinism.
If Congress passes a law protecting abortion, SCOTUS will stand against it, when it comes before them, because the principle exists and cannot be changed. The Constitution and national founding documents protect life. That's it. They do not protect death, unless someone commits a crime. Even then, Federal laws should not address what states should decide upon. "Federal crimes" that do not concern the Federal government should not exist. Federal crimes that violate Federal law, just shows the monstrous nature of the Federal government to make laws that States should address within the borders of their own authority. The Federal government is a bloated monster and anybody with common sense knows it.
I doubt the SCOTUS decision changes much, save for the deliverance of babies from death in states that outlaw the procedure. That's a big thing, in and of itself, when stats show 930,000 babies were killed in 2020, while churches were shut down but, abortion clinics allowed to remain open.
The only reason this decision has come is not because science and morality and logic and common sense have changed. The two sides remain. The only reason this decision was made is because Donald Trump had opportunity to place judges on the court. Now watch Democrats work swiftly to change the court, to pack it with new, Leftist judges. Biden may try and do something desperate via Executive Order. Democrats will work fast to create their law. Again, SCOTUS is divided and all it shows is not the principles of the rules of law but, the cultural divide that exists: on the court, all throughout the land, and all throughout the world.
It really is Life versus Death. We must save elephants, big cats, whales, fish, migratory birds and insects. Babies? Not so much.
It's sick, is what it is.
Darkness covers the Earth and gross darkness the people.
It cannot be said a touch of light remains because SCOTUS did not decide for Life. It decided against making a ruling without Constitutional direction. They threw it back to the states. Nothing has really changed.
I will say this. The prophetic ties that bind the Roman Catholic Church with Evangelical and Fundamentalist churches will tighten, as coalitions develop state by state. Differences put aside for the common goal.
It is a two-edged sword.
God help us.

All these decades a SCOTUS decision has been taken as the law of the land when we know that is not so because right now, a Leftist run Congress is trying to figure out how to make a law protecting the killing of babies through abortion. Congress knows SCOTUS does not make laws. It only addresses, by design, if laws are constitutional - within the framework of the Constitution. There is nothing in the Constitution about medical procedures. SCOTUS had nothing to go by except the Founding principles of Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of happiness based on the rule of law. SCOTUS was Leftist in the days of RvW. Today, SCOTUS is more Right, hence a 5-4 decision to send the matter back to the states, where it should have stayed to begin with, and then state legislatures, based on their state Constitutions, have to address the issue of guarding life.
All the vitriolic hatred of SCOTUS right now and calls for literal violence towards the 5, is not just wrong, legally speaking - for laws exist to stand against such intimidation and certainly any planned and executed actions - it is logically wrong because states will either decide for or against. Don't like a state's decision? Move. The West coast has already determined, without any legislative debate, abortion will stand. Texas and Tennessee have already decided to outlaw abortion, and other states will join that decision. The North East coast will likely allow abortions.
The national political dynamic is going to call this, state to state, not the logic of the rule of law. Religion will decide this, where religious citizenry outnumber the non-religious, and even there, Conservative against Liberal in professed Christianity, which is the majority religion in America.
The "Black" communities are predicted to grow because that community is the most heavily impacted by abortion BY DESIGN of Planned Parenthood founder, Margaret Sanger. Darwin was a racist, as were those who stood with his opinions. The change of public education in America testifies to the cult of death spawned by Darwinism.
If Congress passes a law protecting abortion, SCOTUS will stand against it, when it comes before them, because the principle exists and cannot be changed. The Constitution and national founding documents protect life. That's it. They do not protect death, unless someone commits a crime. Even then, Federal laws should not address what states should decide upon. "Federal crimes" that do not concern the Federal government should not exist. Federal crimes that violate Federal law, just shows the monstrous nature of the Federal government to make laws that States should address within the borders of their own authority. The Federal government is a bloated monster and anybody with common sense knows it.
I doubt the SCOTUS decision changes much, save for the deliverance of babies from death in states that outlaw the procedure. That's a big thing, in and of itself, when stats show 930,000 babies were killed in 2020, while churches were shut down but, abortion clinics allowed to remain open.
The only reason this decision has come is not because science and morality and logic and common sense have changed. The two sides remain. The only reason this decision was made is because Donald Trump had opportunity to place judges on the court. Now watch Democrats work swiftly to change the court, to pack it with new, Leftist judges. Biden may try and do something desperate via Executive Order. Democrats will work fast to create their law. Again, SCOTUS is divided and all it shows is not the principles of the rules of law but, the cultural divide that exists: on the court, all throughout the land, and all throughout the world.
It really is Life versus Death. We must save elephants, big cats, whales, fish, migratory birds and insects. Babies? Not so much.
It's sick, is what it is.
Darkness covers the Earth and gross darkness the people.
It cannot be said a touch of light remains because SCOTUS did not decide for Life. It decided against making a ruling without Constitutional direction. They threw it back to the states. Nothing has really changed.
I will say this. The prophetic ties that bind the Roman Catholic Church with Evangelical and Fundamentalist churches will tighten, as coalitions develop state by state. Differences put aside for the common goal.
It is a two-edged sword.
God help us.

605. And The Dismay Increases For Futurists - June 25, 2022
"The hoofbeats of the 4 Horsemen are getting louder as we near the time of the end"
https://endtimeheadlines.org/2022/06/the-hoofbeats-of-the-4-horsemen-are-getting-louder-as-we-near-the-time-of-the-end/
"Those of us eagerly awaiting Jesus’ appearing did not expect to see so many signs of the coming kingdom of the antichrist before going home to be with our Savior. We never anticipated seeing so much vile wickedness and demonic deception before the Rapture. For that matter, I assumed that the Lord would severely judge America long before now. “With such failed expectations,” one might ask, “why do I believe Jesus will soon appear to take us home? Why do I remain convinced that we live in the season of His return for His church?” It’s because the world is so very close to the fulfillment of Revelation 6:1-8, and Scripture assures us that we will be with Jesus in heaven before these riders begin their deadly trek across planet earth."
As a Historicist, I have known for 43 years that the "Rapture" doctrine, the secret rapture, is false. It is a doctrine contrived from the premise of Futurism, the brainchild of the Spanish Roman Catholic Jesuit priest, Francisco Ribera, in the 16th century. I have shared a lot about the doctrine and its effect on the Protestant Reformation, and professed Christianity as a whole, in regard to last-day events.
In the midst of "troubles" all over the world, growing worse - shortages, illnesses, diseases, deaths: a never ending stream turning into a river, which will overflow its banks at some point - as the commenter at this Christian site declares, he expected to be gone by now. He expected America to be judged. He expected the Rapture to have taken place, and as yet, he has not experienced what's coming. He believes he, and however many other worthy believers, will be raptured out of the world before the real troubles hit. Not going to happen.
So, what will Christians do, what will they think, how will they react when they find themselves NOT raptured out when things get worse and worse? Why make spiritual and physical preparations if you are going to be taken away in a secret event... well, obviously not so secret when the world experiences everything Futurist authors and preachers have said will take place when the Rapture does occur: millions gone, poof. Pilotless airplanes, trains, boats, buses and cars crashing all over the world. Surgeons in the midst of operations gone. All kinds of controllers at computer screens, gone, including air traffic controllers. Infrastructures teeter upon collapse and do collapse because not enough people are minding the store. They're gone. A planetary outcry of kidnapping and authorities completely confused.
It's the stuff of blockbuster movies. And some have been made, though no really big budget movies. Those have been the stuff of disaster films and dystopian nightmare flicks. Once the Rapture takes place, time is gone to make a big name blockbuster movie. Hell on Earth has arrived.
Well, according to the UN, Hell on Earth is coming if the Ukraine war continues.

Futurism is a Roman Catholic theological deception put forth to take the finger off the Papacy and Roman Church as being antichrist and the whore of Babylon. That was the one thing Reformers agreed upon, throughout the history of theological disagreements that arose over the centuries. The Papacy, any pope in the 'chair of Peter,' is the man of sin, the antichrist, the great falling away, the Little Horn power of Daniel 7, the Beast of Revelation 13, and other descriptions placed in Scripture to instruct and warn people, with dozens of marks, identifiers, and exposure of things that have the longest prophetic train of characterizations in all of Bible prophecy. Then it began to change because Futurism began to be accepted by ignorant Protestants or apostates in the Liturgical churches wanting to beat a path back to "Mother" as the runaway daughters they were and are. Rome is the Mother of Harlots. She has daughters. They are the churches that still keep her doctrines and traditions that are not found in God's Word.
Roman Catholics that have no position upon Bible prophecy, are actually more prepared for what is coming, than confused evangelicals who will go into panic mode when they realize they are either lost, because they are still here or, the Rapture is false doctrine, and now what? Shock City.
Right now - nuclear war draws closer, avian bird flu has passed to mammals, at least half a dozen new diseases are out there, around the world, including sudden adult death syndrome: the mystery illness, which is no mystery at all. It stems from the Covid serums. As the WHO gears up to pronounce warnings and more epidemic and pandemic declarations, lakes are drying out, drought is destroying land and crops. Flooding the same. Even scientists watching the Yellowstone caldera claim the recent floods at the Park are signs of worse to come.
Nobody is getting whisked away from this. There is NO SECRET RAPTURE. But, you know, lies become truth for people. Like the author of the article above, he's going to cling to false doctrine because he has never been exposed to the actual premises of Historicism. He only knows Futurism and possibly Preterism; the position that most prophecies have already been fulfilled, which, again, was the brainchild of another Jesuit priest, Lucius Alcazar. They both perverted the understanding of Daniel 9 and things in Revelation to take that Protestant finger off the Papacy. It didn't work then but, once the trumpet call of protest began to weaken, the doctrines of Jesuits began to blossom.
You see, it's okay, religiously, politically correct to call some guy that rises out of Islam to be the antichrist, or some apostate Jew as others hold, or some skyrocketing billionaire. Condemning an entire church at its head, which is an entire nation behind 50' walls, overseeing more than a billion professed Christians??? Can't have that. Catholics are nice people. The Popes are nice guys. Catholics have fought in America's wars, Bing Crosby and the Bells of St Mary's; Julie Andrews and the Sound of Music; president John F. Kennedy... it's all been a process of acceptance of Catholics (I used to be one), without regard to Romanism: Catholic doctrines and traditions void of Scriptural integrity. Billy Graham saying JP2 preached the same gospel as he did; which means nothing about JP2 and says everything about Graham as a supposed Protestant. JP2 literally changed the world. The most popular and powerful pope in a thousand years. Catholicism cannot be antichrist. Impossible! It's someone coming in the future. He'll be revealed after the Rapture.
Good luck with that.
Make no mistake, the Devil will pull off everything he can to see to it Futurism remains a possibility and hope in the minds of all Futurists but, the time will come when the mask is off because the issues that are the real point of contention will be made crystal clear - the three angels messages of Rev. 14, and the call for God's people throughout the world to come out of Babylon before it is too late, Rev 18.
And while all this talk exists of fulfilling prophecy and being raptured out, great cheers have gone up in the SCOTUS decision to place abortion before the states and something like 29 states are going to outlaw the procedure. Mother and daughters are cheering it up. Some good news. We'll see how long it lasts as the summer of '22 breaks upon us.
As weak and seemingly futile as I am and my life is, I'm sticking with the commandments of God and the faith and testimony of Jesus, because this is all about Him, His authority, His truth, and His glorious return; not some snitchy little secret gig to pull out His people and then come back in power and glory while the rest of the redeemed look at them and Him and ask, 'How come they got spared the time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation and we went through it? We made it by faith. Why wouldn't they? Are they Christian wannabes, some religious snowflakes or something?' Instantly two parties of believers are created. At the second coming, when ultimate unity finally begins?
Oh, someone says, you know, Jesus said those who work all day and those who come in at the 11th hour all get the same wages. Yeah, forget that one. Those raptured out will not be working in the Lord's vineyard, will they? No, they got pulled out BEFORE the harvest, which is the end of the world. Only no, Futurism does not buy that, either. When Christ returns in glory, He commands the world for a thousand years and a big restructuring, Heavenly world order and great reset takes place. But, wait. The at the end of the millennium God destroys it all and the resurrected lost of the ages? The Earth becomes a lake of fire. Everything worked on for 1,000 years goes up in smoke???
The cracks and holes in Futurism make the Grand Canyon look like a crevice in a baked, July, Texas driveway.
Those of us who know what has been, why, and what is coming, can only pray for the eyes of Futurists to be opened before it's too late.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

606. Cosmological Brain Overload - June 26, 2022
The cosmos is mindboggling. The distances, the sizes of what is out there, the quantity.
I used to disbelieve Black Holes existed or, if they did, they were not what astronomers believed but, given the size of the universe, the distances between stars and greater distances between galaxies, and the new numbers estimating a trillion galaxies... if the Creator wants to put a Black Hole at the center of each galaxy or in places out in space... so be it. It must be pretty cool to watch those jets stream out from them at such incredible speeds. Just more of God's fireworks shows throughout his celestial backyard. Everywhere is a light show. Everywhere is a living planetarium.
Now, Dark Matter has been a subject that even within cosmological evolution, astronomers have had to be dragged along kicking and screaming but, apparently, over the decades, various observations made of galaxies; their rotations, their gravity fields, their brightness and other parameters keeps showing density where none should exist or at least far less should exist, as you move out from a core to the outer edges but, the opposite is true. Measurable density exists, in "space," in the nothingness, density exists. It was coined 'Dark Matter' because obviously, whatever kind of particle it is, it reflects no light, it is not detectable through conventional means, it is not physically observable. Of course, neither is oxygen. Nobody argues against the existence of oxygen because we can't see it.
Creationist astronomers and other branches of celestial science have argued a simple, when you have more evidence than numbers on a black board, tell us. Otherwise, matter that is undetectable? Right. We think that is a tall tale; a rescuing device for the Big Bang and the everything from nothing story. But, in fact, Creation or Evolution origins is just not involved in the subject of dark matter. It's apparently there. It's just that nobody knows what it is.
So, after all the decades of discovery, another particle is apparently on the table: a particle not on the table of elements. A new element. It must be there, say the mathematicians and the instruments of observation but, nobody knows what it is because they cannot detect it's existence beyond measurements of a galaxy's parameters of rotation, existence of light, and general weight density.
Now, density is a big issue with me, in the discussion of drum shells and sound. I don't care what kind of material is used to make drum shells. It's density determines how the shell will handle sound waves and the concussive air column thrown off by striking the drum heads.
So, when I watched a video featuring a creationist astronomer explaining how Dark Matter was discovered, and rejected by the secular astronomical community, UNTIL more research kept rendering the same results, I may have hit the glazed eyes point but, caught enough to realize God put something out there that is matter, and space is not really space. It's all a type of celestial fabric. And when God says the heavens will roll up like a scroll, He means it.
Which then brings up the aspects of how light travels through this "fabric" in space, and travel from point A, to a far distant, point B. Hm. If the fabric is just a flat sheet but, that's impossible, if the particles make up all the darkness that we used to believe was empty of anything, save for traces of gasses floating around out there; if it's everywhere, it isn't a sheet, it a universal ocean. It could easily contain folds, portals, tubes, tunnels, rolling hills? The Creator has put something out there that defies physical explanation. Everything moves within it but, nobody knows what it is. Has something finally been placed before mankind that is so beyond comprehension it begs the place of a Designer? Well, no. It speaks to me. It does not speak to those who think and believe everything came from nothing. Talk about a miracle but, not in their minds. In their minds, even if they can only gauge it by formulas on makers boards, it's Natural, it's Material, it came from... they cannot say but, they have faith.
God seems to have pulled the ultimate fast one on disbelievers. Well, believers, too. He has boggled the minds of everybody, just as only infinite wisdom and knowledge can do.
The galaxies are moving apart. The universe is expanding at higher rates of speed. Not like someone blowing up a balloon. Not that fast but, measurably so. How? "Dark Energy." Well, this one tends to run the sidelines more than on the field. To this one, creationist astronomers say, 'An undetectable invisible energy source that pushes things, pushes galaxies around? Now you've really hit the tall-tale button.'
As far as I'm aware, no significant scientific evidence exists for Dark Energy. It's a hypothesis. It's a storyline. It's imagination. There is no weight of evidence to demonstrably show it exists. Their just has to be reason why the universe is expanding beyond normal ranges of gravitational pull but, gravitation draws things to each other. What is pushing things apart, stretching things out farther and farther?
Well, the Bible states God stretches out the heavens like a tent or a curtain. Obviously there were no elastic bands in biblical times. That is not to say known fabrics back then did not stretch. They most certainly did. Tents were stretched taught for stability. Obviously fabric reaches a tearing point. If the galaxies are moving apart from each other, further from each other in every direction, we are beyond the idea of typical fabrics known in biblical times. Of course, when the ancients looked up at the stars, they saw nothing but, points of light and a whole lot of emptiness, which is why Job states God hung the Earth on nothing. Nobody could possibly know the Earth was just floating in space, moving in a pattern of gravitational pull. That makes Job 26:7 a pretty amazing bit of information.
Job 26:7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
If anyone looks North, straight up, and watches for awhile, they will see the stars, the constellations, move. Well, the Earth is moving, of course but, so is the galaxy, and Andromeda and all the other galaxies. Everything in the universe is moving. It all stretches out before the observer, over emptiness, and the Earth is hanging on nothing in that emptiness. Pretty cool, if you ask me. Everything is in a place, a position of consistency. It's not an accident. It's Christ, the Creator.
Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Other translations state all things subsist, hold together, exist, and be in Him.
The invisible Black Holes, the invisible particles that make up a space fabric, a mysterious matter that everything exists within, even the mysteries of gravity, itself, an ever so delicate force holding things in place but, according to God's Word, it is more than that. By Christ all things "consist." Let me post Thayer's definition of the Greek word translated 'consist,' and watch the universe come alive.
Thayer Definition:
1) to place together, to set in the same place, to bring or band together
1a) to stand with (or near)
2) to set one with another
2a) by way of presenting or introducing him
2b) to comprehend
3) to put together by way of composition or combination, to teach by combining and comparing
3a) to show, prove, establish, exhibit
4) to put together, unite parts into one whole
4a) to be composed of, consist
Our planet, our solar system, other systems, our galaxy, the Local Group of galaxies, other groups of galaxies, all part of an immense, impossible to comprehend ocean of matter, expanding yet, remaining consistent, placed together, banded together, a unity of parts of one whole, composed of matter, space and time, all held in motion by the Creator, who became a Baby, and a Man, who came into His creation to save it from destruction, lived the pure and victorious righteous life, and died the cruelest of deaths to accomplish a way of redemption; a path back to God's presence, and the opportunity to travel the universe and see everything the Creator has made for those who love Him.
After watching the video I read some things until my brain was just on overload. I could not take in another word. My admiration of Iesou Christos increased exponentially. God became a Man, born of a woman. He retains immortal humanity yet, is fully God, one with the Father, and the Spirit, another enormous mystery: the Person of the Holy Spirit.
My friend, Tom Cranor, the guitarist I have recorded with in Miledge Muzic, believes in the aether, the universe as something beyond matter, space and time. Not that it is conscious but, it is something that everything exists in, with a flow, an intention of life. It's kind of complicated to grasp, for me anyway, and yet, in the final analysis, the universe is apparently not more empty than filled. Factually, less than 1% of the universe exists in galaxies. The rest? A mysterious matter that everything exists in, in perfect order and consistency, constancy and flow, packed with the existence of creation.
I choose to believe what the Bible says about creation because God changed me, 43 years ago. I was an atheist and found it lacking. God said, "Try Me," and I did, and found it beyond description to be born again.
By God's grace I hope to be ready to meet Christ when He returns, and travel this vast universe forever, to experience things we are not capable of imagining. It's out there, waiting.
Come, Lord Jesus, and take us home.
I used to disbelieve Black Holes existed or, if they did, they were not what astronomers believed but, given the size of the universe, the distances between stars and greater distances between galaxies, and the new numbers estimating a trillion galaxies... if the Creator wants to put a Black Hole at the center of each galaxy or in places out in space... so be it.

Which then brings up the aspects of how light travels through this "fabric" in space, and travel from point A, to a far distant, point B. Hm. If the fabric is just a flat sheet but, that's impossible, if the particles make up all the darkness that we used to believe was empty of anything, save for traces of gasses floating around out there; if it's everywhere, it isn't a sheet, it a universal ocean. It could easily contain folds, portals, tubes, tunnels, rolling hills? The Creator has put something out there that defies physical explanation. Everything moves within it but, nobody knows what it is. Has something finally been placed before mankind that is so beyond comprehension it begs the place of a Designer? Well, no. It speaks to me. It does not speak to those who think and believe everything came from nothing. Talk about a miracle but, not in their minds. In their minds, even if they can only gauge it by formulas on makers boards, it's Natural, it's Material, it came from... they cannot say but, they have faith.
God seems to have pulled the ultimate fast one on disbelievers. Well, believers, too. He has boggled the minds of everybody, just as only infinite wisdom and knowledge can do.
The galaxies are moving apart. The universe is expanding at higher rates of speed. Not like someone blowing up a balloon. Not that fast but, measurably so. How? "Dark Energy." Well, this one tends to run the sidelines more than on the field. To this one, creationist astronomers say, 'An undetectable invisible energy source that pushes things, pushes galaxies around? Now you've really hit the tall-tale button.'
As far as I'm aware, no significant scientific evidence exists for Dark Energy. It's a hypothesis. It's a storyline. It's imagination. There is no weight of evidence to demonstrably show it exists. Their just has to be reason why the universe is expanding beyond normal ranges of gravitational pull but, gravitation draws things to each other. What is pushing things apart, stretching things out farther and farther?
Well, the Bible states God stretches out the heavens like a tent or a curtain. Obviously there were no elastic bands in biblical times. That is not to say known fabrics back then did not stretch. They most certainly did. Tents were stretched taught for stability. Obviously fabric reaches a tearing point. If the galaxies are moving apart from each other, further from each other in every direction, we are beyond the idea of typical fabrics known in biblical times. Of course, when the ancients looked up at the stars, they saw nothing but, points of light and a whole lot of emptiness, which is why Job states God hung the Earth on nothing. Nobody could possibly know the Earth was just floating in space, moving in a pattern of gravitational pull. That makes Job 26:7 a pretty amazing bit of information.
Job 26:7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
If anyone looks North, straight up, and watches for awhile, they will see the stars, the constellations, move. Well, the Earth is moving, of course but, so is the galaxy, and Andromeda and all the other galaxies. Everything in the universe is moving. It all stretches out before the observer, over emptiness, and the Earth is hanging on nothing in that emptiness. Pretty cool, if you ask me. Everything is in a place, a position of consistency. It's not an accident. It's Christ, the Creator.
Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Other translations state all things subsist, hold together, exist, and be in Him.
The invisible Black Holes, the invisible particles that make up a space fabric, a mysterious matter that everything exists within, even the mysteries of gravity, itself, an ever so delicate force holding things in place but, according to God's Word, it is more than that. By Christ all things "consist." Let me post Thayer's definition of the Greek word translated 'consist,' and watch the universe come alive.
Thayer Definition:
1) to place together, to set in the same place, to bring or band together
1a) to stand with (or near)
2) to set one with another
2a) by way of presenting or introducing him
2b) to comprehend
3) to put together by way of composition or combination, to teach by combining and comparing
3a) to show, prove, establish, exhibit
4) to put together, unite parts into one whole
4a) to be composed of, consist
Our planet, our solar system, other systems, our galaxy, the Local Group of galaxies, other groups of galaxies, all part of an immense, impossible to comprehend ocean of matter, expanding yet, remaining consistent, placed together, banded together, a unity of parts of one whole, composed of matter, space and time, all held in motion by the Creator, who became a Baby, and a Man, who came into His creation to save it from destruction, lived the pure and victorious righteous life, and died the cruelest of deaths to accomplish a way of redemption; a path back to God's presence, and the opportunity to travel the universe and see everything the Creator has made for those who love Him.
After watching the video I read some things until my brain was just on overload. I could not take in another word. My admiration of Iesou Christos increased exponentially. God became a Man, born of a woman. He retains immortal humanity yet, is fully God, one with the Father, and the Spirit, another enormous mystery: the Person of the Holy Spirit.
My friend, Tom Cranor, the guitarist I have recorded with in Miledge Muzic, believes in the aether, the universe as something beyond matter, space and time. Not that it is conscious but, it is something that everything exists in, with a flow, an intention of life. It's kind of complicated to grasp, for me anyway, and yet, in the final analysis, the universe is apparently not more empty than filled. Factually, less than 1% of the universe exists in galaxies. The rest? A mysterious matter that everything exists in, in perfect order and consistency, constancy and flow, packed with the existence of creation.
I choose to believe what the Bible says about creation because God changed me, 43 years ago. I was an atheist and found it lacking. God said, "Try Me," and I did, and found it beyond description to be born again.
By God's grace I hope to be ready to meet Christ when He returns, and travel this vast universe forever, to experience things we are not capable of imagining. It's out there, waiting.
Come, Lord Jesus, and take us home.

607. The Buddy Legacy - June 27, 2022
A couple weeks ago I came across a YT video of a Buddy Rich CD of just drum solos. I had no idea it existed. I listened to the first solo and just left YT and purchased the CD. It's been sitting next to my chair and a couple nights ago the internet was down so, I popped it into my laptop, put some good earbuds in and listened while I played Mahjong.
I'm no Buddy historian and even though Jazz/Big Band was never a serious favorite genre for me, he was a major influence upon my development when I was young and remained so, to this day.
Buddy was a force of nature. Regardless of peers who had the same technique or more instructional knowledge of the drum set, nobody had the absolute majestic command of that man sitting on his container throne and mesmerizing an audience with a display authority and fireworks others just did not have, and they all admitted it, too.
The late 60's came, and the 70's and players emerged who had just as much speed and stick control and all, and over the decades players emerged who were faster than Buddy. They exist today. Not that speed at those levels and degrees mean much, in the final analysis. That fact is demonstrated by the WFD competition. The difference between 800 strokes a minute and 1200 may seem a lot as written numbers but, watching it, no. It's all blur territory when a player begins whipping around a drum set. And too, Buddy's speed always seemed on target, measured, disciplined, pertinent and definitive in movement. Some players, myself included, move wherever at our top speeds as our brain says, Go!. Regardless of his speed, he always seemed to go exactly where he already knew he wanted to go well before he went there. Now, that has as much to do with Buddy playing the same set-up night after night, year after year, decade after decade and memory becomes a large part of what one plays. Still, when Buddy exploded it was the difference between a random explosion and a controlled explosion. Most players get pretty random. Buddy was a controlled demolition of audience shock and awe every night.
Speed is fun and dramatic and entertaining but, what has always mattered to me, as I have stated many times, is trying to have a "voice" at the instrument. A tuning voice, a set of fills voice, something that is me. Buddy's voice was pretty noticeable. Lots of snare drum work and accents of toms, whereas other Jazz greats might have had more tom work or a definitive sound on a ride cymbal or something.
Listening to that set of solos, taken mostly from 'West Side Story' and 'Channel 1 Suite' performances back in 1976 and '77, each solo is obviously Buddy, with all the usual "Buddyisms." Yet, in all these years I never noticed how Buddy was decades ahead of the beat displacement or linear playing and accenting or Gospel Chops movement of throwing kick notes in between hand notes in quick, accented succession of patterns. Not the typical triplet RLK stuff guys were doing back then. Buddy got tired of all the Rock drummers doing it, and decided to throw it into his solos and do it faster, with a cross over between rack and floor tom or floor and snare at the same time. I'm talking more about a R-K-L-type thing. Sneaking the bass note in between quick hand patterns. I never really noticed it before. He did it a lot, too. Most or all the solos demonstrate it. He was a master of it before Mike Clarke or Dave Garibaldi or Vinnie or Dave Weckle or any other chopsmeister came along. And if Buddy heard something he wasn't doing, he'd take it to another level and make it his.
A lot of young people have heard things about Buddy or listened to tape recordings of him chewing out his band in ferocious tirade, and Buddy's playing is often colored in people's minds by his ofttimes stinging personality. If one can separate Buddy's more sour moments of life and his seemingly comic, arrogant personality, from just his drum set performance, a voice emerges that shows possibly the greatest gifted player in the history of the instrument. I'm not saying Buddy was 'the best.' There was and is no best because there are no accepted parameters for establishing 'best' in music or individual instruments. It's all subjective. That said, Buddy was a unique and supremely dynamic talent and voice in music.
As many have said, You may match Buddy, you may equal his abilities but, no one will ever be better.
That is a legacy that more than likely, as time goes on, will never be displaced or forgotten.

608. The Loss of Rationality and Reason - June 28, 2022
Over the last couple years, since I began to write about Bible prophecy and last-day events, I have watched humanity seemingly descend further down the rungs of the ladders of reason and rationality. Critical thinking, making decisions based on the weight of evidence, is evaporating and what is left is sheer emotions driven by anger and/or deceit.
The veil of corruption is tearing and what has become exposed is far more than criminality. It's Satanic and devilish. Evil. Unprovoked evil. What does this mean? To me it means humanity is coming under the control of forces of darkness now. The Holy Spirit of God is being pushed away. Lawlessness is prevailing.
Seeing a headline of someone "destroying" another is now common, as though annihilation is some kind of attribute to be held up as high as possible, an attainable mountain top of human excellence people are climbing for. Politics, culture, even religion, which is really an off the wall way to address an issue or another human being Jesus died for.
No question the Bible endorses rebuking evil, and confronting wickedness. The prophets did it. Christ certainly did it but, everything has been raised exponential notches of bad behavior now.
SCOTUS Justice, Clarence Thomas has become the most hated man in America for simply writing a brief that explains why abortion should never have been a decision made by the Supreme Court to begin with , and why the matter was sent back to the states. The response from the Left, the radical Left (which the Left has pretty much thoroughly become now), has to been to "destroy" Thomas online, in every direction, as well as on Leftist run media of any kind. And this has taken place since Trump was elected. Both media outlets servicing the Left and the Right are growing more and more vitriolic in their headlines and rhetoric. Many websites have gone to using as outlandishly offensive terms to describe political opponents as they can. The age of civility is disappearing. Just because someone or some news outlet is "Conservative" does not place them above the din, when they are down in the mud like everyone else they oppose.
Two cases I see in the news show the circumstances building.
One involves a contractor who physically assaulted a woman who showed up at his place of business to complain about his business practices. She was angry and for her anger got attacked by the contractor and his wife, as well as a news crew that happened to be there at the moment.
https://youtu.be/aA4CxrciaLM
The contractor is obviously sick of his life being trashed by people and the media blowing it up. But, rather than rationally discuss it and his side of the story, he attacks the woman and the camera crew. Is he a crook? I don't know. I just am seeing more and more stories of men attacking women openly, in public. The entire situation of women being abused by men has obviously become a major cultural issue. It's demonic. I was not raised that way and yet, anger can erupt and volcanic results take place when the stresses caused by life crush down and expose the nature of man at its weakest and lowest points.
The contractor may be a nice guy under most all circumstances but, he's reached his limit. People can now be destroyed in several ways by exposing them online. At one time it was a letter to the editor in the local newspaper and filing a Better Business Bureau report. Today it is exposure to millions on social media sites, YouTube and news sites clamoring for reader attention. Pressure times a million.
Here's the headline of the story at one Conservative news site:
WILD SCENE CAPTURED ON FILM: Female Customer Is Punched In Face, Shoved to Ground By Contractor She Confronts For Ripping Her Off...Member of News Crew That Happens To Be Nearby and Films Incident, Is Also Punched
By Jesse Martin | Jun 25, 2022
https://100percentfedup.com/wild-scene-captured-on-film-female-customer-is-punched-in-face-shoved-to-ground-by-contractor-she-confronts-for-ripping-her-off-member-of-news-crew-that-happens-to-be-nearby-and-films-incident-is/
Notice the website - 100 percent fed up. Can anyone logically say that is not the case in America? People are fed up. They're off the charts with angst and disgust towards government politicians. I consider myself in that category. There's not a single elected civil servant I have any trust in to do their job according to the rule of law and Constitutional limitations placed upon them. Everything is a sound byte, a photo op, necessary exposure to raise money for the next election cycle.
The second case is one where a former Arizona news reporter, Kari Lake, is defamed, at least the attempt is made, by the twisted story of a drag queen claiming she is a hypocrite when it comes to that lifestyle. Lake is suing the guy, and threatening to sue any media outlet that does not do its job and investigate for the truth rather than attack her or attempt to corner her with some "gotcha" reporting.
FOX news was the place Conservatives got their cable news. That network is losing viewers like every other outlet that has gone Left. I don't have cable and don't watch it but, Brett Baier has generally been considered a fair guy. Trying to corner Lake, when the truth has been out there for days now, is just an attempt for ratings. It backfired. Lake "destroyed" him. That's the headline. His corporate handlers told him what to do and figured it would make for good tv.
"America-First Arizona Gubernatorial Candidate Kari Lake Destroys Bret Baier for Parroting WaPo Fake News Attack Against Her . . ."

and where does the link take us? Back to 100 percent fed up -
https://100percentfedup.com/az-governor-candidate-kari-lake-destroys-bret-baier-for-parroting-fake-news-attack-against-her-video/
Taking on Lake like a typical corporate news shill is not an intelligent move. The news business was her career. She knows all the ins and outs, all the techniques, all the ruse. She can put you in your place with grace and ease and does it all the time. She remains eloquent and civil, regardless of the attacks. I've not seen a single story of her not being civil to someone. Civil law is the outlet for incivility and she's suing the drag queen. Well, no one can find him to serve him so, she's trying to sue him. If she finds him and serves him, I reckon she will win, based on the weight of evidence.
https://twitter.com/ACTBrigitte/status/1541554782682468353
If you watch the exchange, you will see she does NOT "destroy" Baier. He just acts like he's a doing a good thing for her by bringing the ridiculous story up, so she can explain, though his facial expressions betray his explanation. She's obviously shocked it happens on FOX. CNN, sure. MSNBC, sure. Expected. Well, honestly, based on the last few years, expected on FOX, as well, and she has far more hope for that outlet to do a proper job than I have. I'd even call her expectation for a decent interview, anywhere, including FOX, naive. She's an America first candidate. She's in a minority, despite her popularity with AZ citizens putting her ahead in her race for the governor's seat.
At one time in American culture a comment or testimony from a drag queen would not have considered worthy of exposure. They professionally practice a lie. Drag queens do not perform like a male comedian lampooning life from the side of a female's experience, a la Flip Wilson's "Geraldine." These are men who desire to be female, and dress and act like females in the most outrageous ways of sexuality. It was once considered being mentally mixed-up. Today? In a dying world, that which is mixed-up and confused is considered rock solid, normal behavior and existence.
What, is obviously coming is a focal point, a common target and objective? Marginalize anything righteous, right up to the last group of people standing for the Bible, and the Bible alone as the only rule of faith and practice and discipline for the believer. The prophetic "remnant," the remaining sector of what was of the church and message once delivered unto the saints; Rev 12:17; Jude 3, is Satan's ultimate bullseye. First, humanity must be riled up and brought to frustration and stress levels that threaten everything they believe is sound and dependable. God will allow it, too, because He has character to build in His people. Tests and trials build character, James 1:2-4.
Watch this develop. Things are going to swerve at some point, from secular concerns to religious concerns, and from there a majority against a minority position of the law of God. Marginalizing anyone who disagrees with a majority is become the tactic. Never mind truth. Never mind evidence. Just attack. That is the building, prevailing attitude.
The contractor behaved irrationally and now faces charges. Brett Baier acted irrationally, when that story was instantly rebuffed with facts, by Lake, when the Leftists broke it. Baier knows better than to quote Leftist news outlets. He betrayed his hand right off the bat and Lake knew it. She does not back down. She embarrassed him and his network for their shoddy reporting, and worse, hiding important truth that would right the ship before it sinks, as far as the 2020 criminal election. I told you Dinesh D'Souza's, 2000 Mules documentary would go nowhere. The corruption is way too systemic now, though Lake was right to denounce FOX's cowardice to mention the film and deny it's obvious contents as important to the discussion. Well, there is no discussion. AG Barr made sure of that.
I hope Kari Lake retains that determination and integrity. She'll easily end up being the conservative candidate for president some day, if America doesn't collapse before then but, look. I had high hopes for SD's governor, Kristi Noem, too. Not anymore. Politics ruins people. Which is why I hate politics. I cannot stand politicians.
Nancy Pelosi, third from the White House, is shown elbowing a young child, the daughter of a newly elected Republican House member, during a swearing-in ceremony. Does the MSM jump all over it? Only if a Republican were doing the elbowing. The hypocrisy has become so commonplace it is just expected as normal behavior.
There's a big difference between being a statesman, and a politician. Find me a true statesman today. They are extinct.
The summer of '22 has begun. Ranker, riots, and repulsive behavior foreign to the principles of Americanism, just because Leftists cannot have their way.
Wait till average American people on the Right decide to do the same. Of course, they just showed up to protest the criminal election, made their way to the Capitol, were provoked and/or led in by corrupt FBI plants and criminal Capitol police, while Leftist minions began to break windows and damage public property, and because average Americans went into the house of business for them, American citizens, and took pictures and video, and talked to police inside, and chanted patriotic slogans and sang songs, all of it on film, one of them was shot to death inside, as one other woman was beaten to death outside, and "the darkest day in American history," an "insurrection" took place and thankfully failed and now we will lock up all those we prove were there, and even some who weren't. Yeah, that's real, American principle taking place there, while protesters threatening SCOTUS justices are allowed to break the law and show up outside their residences to intimidate them. Five refused to be intimidated, now they are receiving death threats. Truth means zip. All that matters is results. The end justifies the means. Bully, intimidate, frighten, threaten, arrest, do what has to be done to get your way.
Welcome to 21st century America.
In a world where everyone is out to destroy anything and everyone else, literally or figuratively, we are yet to be amazed by what is coming for the cry of "peace and safety" to ring out.
Seems impossible. The Bible predicts it. It's coming. Believe it. Get ready.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
The veil of corruption is tearing and what has become exposed is far more than criminality. It's Satanic and devilish. Evil. Unprovoked evil. What does this mean? To me it means humanity is coming under the control of forces of darkness now. The Holy Spirit of God is being pushed away. Lawlessness is prevailing.

She's in a minority, despite her popularity with AZ citizens putting her ahead in her race for the governor's seat.
At one time in American culture a comment or testimony from a drag queen would not have considered worthy of exposure. They professionally practice a lie. Drag queens do not perform like a male comedian lampooning life from the side of a female's experience, a la Flip Wilson's "Geraldine." These are men who desire to be female, and dress and act like females in the most outrageous ways of sexuality. It was once considered being mentally mixed-up. Today? In a dying world, that which is mixed-up and confused is considered rock solid, normal behavior and existence.
What, is obviously coming is a focal point, a common target and objective? Marginalize anything righteous, right up to the last group of people standing for the Bible, and the Bible alone as the only rule of faith and practice and discipline for the believer. The prophetic "remnant," the remaining sector of what was of the church and message once delivered unto the saints; Rev 12:17; Jude 3, is Satan's ultimate bullseye. First, humanity must be riled up and brought to frustration and stress levels that threaten everything they believe is sound and dependable. God will allow it, too, because He has character to build in His people. Tests and trials build character, James 1:2-4.
Watch this develop. Things are going to swerve at some point, from secular concerns to religious concerns, and from there a majority against a minority position of the law of God. Marginalizing anyone who disagrees with a majority is become the tactic. Never mind truth. Never mind evidence. Just attack. That is the building, prevailing attitude.
The contractor behaved irrationally and now faces charges. Brett Baier acted irrationally, when that story was instantly rebuffed with facts, by Lake, when the Leftists broke it. Baier knows better than to quote Leftist news outlets. He betrayed his hand right off the bat and Lake knew it. She does not back down. She embarrassed him and his network for their shoddy reporting, and worse, hiding important truth that would right the ship before it sinks, as far as the 2020 criminal election. I told you Dinesh D'Souza's, 2000 Mules documentary would go nowhere. The corruption is way too systemic now, though Lake was right to denounce FOX's cowardice to mention the film and deny it's obvious contents as important to the discussion. Well, there is no discussion. AG Barr made sure of that.
I hope Kari Lake retains that determination and integrity. She'll easily end up being the conservative candidate for president some day, if America doesn't collapse before then but, look. I had high hopes for SD's governor, Kristi Noem, too. Not anymore. Politics ruins people. Which is why I hate politics. I cannot stand politicians.
Nancy Pelosi, third from the White House, is shown elbowing a young child, the daughter of a newly elected Republican House member, during a swearing-in ceremony. Does the MSM jump all over it? Only if a Republican were doing the elbowing. The hypocrisy has become so commonplace it is just expected as normal behavior.
There's a big difference between being a statesman, and a politician. Find me a true statesman today. They are extinct.
The summer of '22 has begun. Ranker, riots, and repulsive behavior foreign to the principles of Americanism, just because Leftists cannot have their way.
Wait till average American people on the Right decide to do the same. Of course, they just showed up to protest the criminal election, made their way to the Capitol, were provoked and/or led in by corrupt FBI plants and criminal Capitol police, while Leftist minions began to break windows and damage public property, and because average Americans went into the house of business for them, American citizens, and took pictures and video, and talked to police inside, and chanted patriotic slogans and sang songs, all of it on film, one of them was shot to death inside, as one other woman was beaten to death outside, and "the darkest day in American history," an "insurrection" took place and thankfully failed and now we will lock up all those we prove were there, and even some who weren't. Yeah, that's real, American principle taking place there, while protesters threatening SCOTUS justices are allowed to break the law and show up outside their residences to intimidate them. Five refused to be intimidated, now they are receiving death threats. Truth means zip. All that matters is results. The end justifies the means. Bully, intimidate, frighten, threaten, arrest, do what has to be done to get your way.
Welcome to 21st century America.
In a world where everyone is out to destroy anything and everyone else, literally or figuratively, we are yet to be amazed by what is coming for the cry of "peace and safety" to ring out.
Seems impossible. The Bible predicts it. It's coming. Believe it. Get ready.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

609. The Embarrassing Family Member - June 29, 2022
I'm sure you have all heard jokes about aunt or uncle so-and-so, or some family member that seems to have no social filter and no common sense, and are capable of making an entire family want to crawl under a table and get out of view, at times. They blurt out nonsense, they are embarrassing, or they are nasty and hurtful, and they are totally obtuse and couldn't care less what people think of their dissecting anyone or everyone they come into contact with.
That's how Americans see each other now. Leftists see those on the Right as that family member, and those on the Right see the Left that way. Personally, I am embarrassed the world is looking at an America so torn, twisted and volatile. It used to be Bush. They hated him. They constantly made him look bad and he didn't help, himself, either but, at least respect the office. Nope. Not then, not anymore.
Trump became the biggest political pariah in American history, and after a year and half of him out of office they still cannot stop their flatulent vitriol towards him. It's embarrassing.
This surprise J6 witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, a complete nobody in D.C. (though rather easy on the eyes and don't miss the importance of that when getting a message out is in the mix), a former employee in the Trump administration, working under Mark Meadows, took the witness chair and told the committee and the world, perhaps the biggest whoppers ever told to a standing investigative committee in Washington. She testified, under oath, no less, Trump assaulted a couple S.S. agents and tried to grab the steering wheel of his vehicle and get to the J6 "insurrection" by hook or by crook.
No, I did not watch her, and could not care less about that ridiculous sham and waste of American's time and money. I have seen it all over the news sites, though, and the castigation of the poor young woman has been sharper than a ninja's dagger.
Apparently, no sooner were the words out of her mouth, Secret Service agents said they are willing to testify no such thing happened.
This is a "what on earth were they thinking" moment. Frankly, after seeing Justice Sotomayor's minority opinion on the Kennedy case - the football coach praying on the 50 yard line - I have to ask myself just how sharp a justice has to be to make it to the court. She is obviously not the sharpest knife in the drawer. The J6 committee may be the dullest knives in the drawer.
Aside from hard Leftists, I get the feeling Americans are pretty tired of them screaming the establishment clause! every other day. It has gotten older than a bowl of broccoli in a refrigerator. And the J6 situation has become an ant hill compared to Olympus Mons. How can any reasonable Americans have any respect for such foolish people in positions of such power.
And that's the deal now. Right sees Left as rotten food, Left sees Right likewise, and there is no way these two sides are going to be able to run the American nation correctly. Whatever side is in power will always drive the other side to madness. Well...even looking at that sentence causes me to backtrack. If the Right is in control, the Leftists seem driven to madness. If the Left is in control, like now, they are still in madness but, the Right doesn't have enough members to do anything but get PO'd while the rest of the GOP joins the Left and sells America down the river.
I want secession to be considered because there is just no way America can survive. It is going to fall, by design of the Left and cowards and traitors in the GOP, and a couple hundred million people who love America will suffer the results. They are already suffering. Everybody but, people in political positions in D.C. and the wealthy, are suffering the mishandling of affairs. Well, the purposeful mishandling of affairs and destruction of the Republic.
Lincoln got into a civil war to try and save the Union. There is no more United States of America. There is no more government of, by and for the people. There is only corruption and a few decent decisions by SCOTUS is not going to change that. The culture is now completely antithetical to the Founding principles and the Christian faith. Remember the difference between separation of church and state, and separation of God from state. They are oceans apart. Remove the oversight of God from the affairs of state, by the personal decision to seek His face on the part of government officials, elected civil servants, and any and all nations will collapse.
Mark it well. If Israel fell, in rejecting its Messiah, America, which is not God's chosen nation, will fall. It is a given.
If Americans do not divide the place now, destruction cometh. Whatever the Left gets will destroy itself, regardless. At least the Right will be there to help pick up some pieces among those with enough common sense to realize their culture and policies are never going to work. They cannot work. They are the polar opposite of what built America to begin with.
Politicians are rarely, if ever trustworthy. That's the nature of the beast and the Founders knew that. That is why they created the foundation for the nation they did. Follow the Constitution, survive. Keep it out of the way, the nation will crumble. It is crumbling. Even know Putin and Xi are working on a replacement for the American dollar as the world's currency. That is a much bigger story than allowing a football coach to pray on the 50 yard line.
America is doomed if what is, remains. I believe that for several reasons playing themselves out. I see nothing to believe otherwise.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Biden - WAR! - Putin
"Deafening Drumbeats for War – Biden Sends More U.S. Troops to Ukraine Border, 101st Airborne Deployed, Six Destroyers to Mediterranean, F-35 Squadrons to U.K."
If you come to this site to look at and read things about drums and drumming, there's plenty to behold. You see a headline like that and realize drums and drumming are losing more and more significance by the week to another beat of drums.
The world is being run by lunatics; people with tunnel vision, with pompous greed; control freaks.
War with Russia (and China) is the insane trend and goal for those in power. If ever one could find enough information to believe the military industrial complex runs the nation and along with the international bankers, the world, we have in front of us all the reason required. War = money. Wage endless war.
The conflict in Ukraine, we know, and have known since it began, is a ruse for the West. At this point I am wondering if Putin is in on it. I doubt it but, stranger things have developed. None of this makes sense, from a position of sense. From a position of ultimate, world-wide control... even then, it makes no sense.
The article explains the current situation well. They risk destroying the planet for controlling climate change (supposedly destroying the planet).
You cannot make this stuff up.

He was one of the first to sound the alarm about the plandemic. He was fearless. He was forthright. He was a man who helped thousands to live in the midst of sickness and death, and developed life-saving medical protocols to treat people in the hell thrust upon everyday people. He pulled no punches on those responsible.
He had cancer. He fought a good fight. He went to 'sleep' today and shall sleep with his fathers, as the Bible says for all generations preceding them. It's a huge loss. His voice and work will be sorely missed.
He was a Jewish believer in the Creator and his beliefs propelled his stand against the depraved, delusional minds who set the world on fire with this revolting plan to depopulate it. Their work has just begun.
May God's grace cover him and may Zev Zelenko's life continue to inspire others to stand up and call sin by its right name in this elitist defecation show thrust upon the planet.

610. The Scarborough/Sharpton Train of Ignorance - July 2, 2022
Here's the thing. When people in positions of public responsibility state inaccuracies, there are generally people in the Press who check and report. If true, fine. If false, feet held to the fire. That used to be the process. Not anymore.
Today, the Press, itself, makes things up, do not check their own sources, couldn't care less if sources are correct and true but, only care a narrative is followed: an agenda is met.
For the most part, most Americans are aware of this ugly situation, and that would be on both sides of political issues. Some minds, unfortunately, believe anything they are told by the people they choose to trust, regardless of whether or not they are trustworthy. They can always be counted on to grant poll-takers and surveys a certain percentage of Yay or Nay. They are the useful idiots every society has. They are not critical thinkers. They are reactionaries and go off at whatever provocations their leaders claim is bad for the majority in any society; be it government, religious, business or any other.
The really terrible thing is when sharp people figure out ways to manipulate these citizens and members. That gets into propaganda and things that ultimately sink the ship everybody is on. Lies can never work. Ever. Not in the long run.
Religiously speaking, Lucifer has been lying the longest. Jesus called him "the father of lies." He began in Heaven, and was ultimately tossed out, driven out, with the Bible stating it was a "war in Heaven." No details are given about that war; just that it took place. Lies came to war. Get the picture?
Americans are now at war with each other. Not like the 1860's, though it may come to that again. That's why Leftists in power go for the guns. They don't care if the criminals have them. The criminals can be used to create dependence on a police state. They just do not want those within a society that stand against their agenda to have weapons to defend themselves from tyranny. Tyranny always has lies in its fabric. Then the place comes where you can just tell the people the truth - they are captives, they are cannon fodder, they are meaningless so, sit down and shut up and do as you are told. That is human history. America is on the borders of that land.
The abortion subject has been filled with more lies than just about any but, wars. Wars come with the most lies, before, during and after.
When political or news people state things about the Bible that are not true, those who love and know the Bible must speak up.
Frankly, making a comment about anything on MSNBC seems foolish because nobody really watches it and if Conservative news sites never brought up things stated on there, nobody would ever know about it. They do it to score points. It's a game, really, and Conservative news sites have an endless supply of ignorant things stated by Leftists. It's endless. It's a perpetual waterfall of rubbish.
Joe Scarborough, the Morning Joe-guy, interviewed an embarrassment of religious confusion, "Reverend" Al Sharpton, and the subject of abortion got thrown into a bowl of ignorance and lies and swirled around in a mix of batter that could not bake a cake of truth if their lives depended on it. And Scarborough is supposed to be the "conservative" voice on the network.
"MSNBC’s Morning Joe
June 27, 2022
7:13:33 a.m. Eastern
"JOE SCARBOROUGH: Well, and you know, Rev, they also, Democrats and Independents, and other people that are against this extremist vision of America and the phoniness of so-called Christian nationalists, they need to understand the truth about what's in the Bible and what's not in the Bible. It's important because that's been used on the right to justify this.
"You know, it's so fascinating that so-called conservatives have long said “oh, abortion, Roe needs to be overturned because abortion is never mentioned in the Constitution.”
"Well Rev, it's also not mentioned as you know better than anybody in the Bible. It's not mentioned in the New Testament, it's not mentioned in the Gospels, it's not mentioned by Jesus. Not one time. Which is why my church, the Southern Baptist Church, was still pro-choice through the 1970s, said women should have the decision on their own and the centralized state shouldn't step in and take that decision away from them.
"This is a very recent development and that truth needs to get out. Because I think right now Democrats feel like they're hamstrung by the fact that, “oh, we can't talk about it because this has to do with the Christian faith.” No, it doesn't, this has nothing to do with Jesus.
"Let me say it again, this has nothing to do with Jesus. This is political, especially for Evangelicals, ’79, 1980 Catholics, it goes back to the 1930s. but this is a recent development, historically. And Democrats need to understand that and they need to be aggressive, they need to go after voters and need to get the truth out there.
"REV. AL SHARPTON: Well not only do Democrats need to aggressively go out there, real Christians that really study the Bible ought to be incensed. I've been a preacher since I was a little boy. I am incensed and insulted they have hijacked the Bible and Jesus to distort and misquote, well it's not even a misquote-- create quotes that are not there to justify a right wing kind of ideology that would take away the rights of women and then scheduled to take other people's rights.
"And what is strange to me, Joe, they can see a scripture that is not there about abortion but they couldn't see love your neighbor when it came down to putting things through that would help the poor and help the needy."
I'll stop there. You can read the entire transcript here:
https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/margaret-buckley/2022/06/27/pastor-scarborough-and-reverend-al-sharpton-give-sermon
If I underlined the points at issue, the whole of it would be underlined. This entire exchange is so grossly foul and filled with ignorance it is difficult to read, knowing I am reading something from the mouths of professed Christians.
First and foremost, anybody who studies the Bible knows many things of daily life are not specifically mentioned it in but, PRINCIPLES to guide believers saturate the Book. Such is the case with abortion. Nobody has to create information out of thin air. The Bible is silent on driving cars fast on public roads, isn't it? But the Bible does state laws of man should be obeyed where they do not conflict with God's laws. That's why a father may break some speed limits, driving fast to a hospital with his pregnant wife, who is in pain and about to deliver a baby.
From a Biblical viewpoint, a Scriptural worldview, and I'll just put the verses chosen in a sequential order -
2Kings 19:3 And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
What are come to birth? CHILDREN. What are children? Can we trust Meriam-Webster?
"3a: an unborn or recently born person
… Meghan Markle, married Prince Harry, now pregnant with child.
— Laura Simonetti
I have no idea who Laura Simonetti is. I could look her up, but, the online version of Meriam-Webster uses her statement as an example that speaks volumes to this discussion.
Job 31:15 Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?
That "one" is the Creator. God fashions, makes, shapes, knits, creates, designs people IN THE WOMB. The mother's womb is the Creator's workshop, the most complex workshop in the universe.
Psa 139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
God has a purpose and a path for a person's life from the womb. We are the clay, He is the potter. It all begins in the infinite mind of God from even before conception and birth but, for the human experience, it is taking place in the womb, before birth.
Isa 49:1 Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.
He not only makes and designs, God calls people from the womb. He knows them by name. Isaiah was called, destined to the prophetic office before he was born.
Jer 1:4 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Jer 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Need it be any more plain than that? Can it be any more plain than that?
Life, in God's eyes begins at conception, in the womb, in a show of complexity that is mindboggling. It is not a collection of jelly, not a mass of gook, not some pile of nondescript fluids and solids. It is the beginning of a human baby.
Now, we see how God sees it. What about the life of that baby inside the womb?
Exo 21:22 And if men strive together, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart, and yet no harm follow; he shall be surely fined, according as the woman's husband shall lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
Exo 21:23 But if any harm follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
Exo 21:24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
Exo 21:25 burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
So, two men are fighting, a pregnant woman is somehow hurt in the struggle. If she goes into labor and she and the baby are unhurt, the men are only judged and fined. If there is any harm to mother or child, whatever harm comes is met out to the men who caused it, even to death. If that baby is harmed in the womb or dies in the womb or from the birth, the men are judged and sentenced accordingly even to death.
Now, how much intelligence does a person need to have, to realize if a baby dies from an accidental circumstance caused by a struggle between two men and a death sentence is placed upon the fighters, how much more sore and definitive the punishment for anyone to kill a baby in the womb ON PURPOSE?
Pro 6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
Pro 6:17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
Pro 6:18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
Pro 6:19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
There is NO LIFE more innocent than a baby in the womb.
It seems to me both Scarborough and Sharpton are in grave danger before the LORD.
Someone will obviously state, that is the Old Testament. What about the New?
Luke 1:13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
Luke 1:14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
Luke 1:15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
Luke 1:16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
According to the Bible, New Testament, John the Baptist was filled with the Spirit from his mother, Elisabeth's, womb. God called him, set his path and purpose, from the womb, to be the forerunner of the Messiah.
Now watch this passage that comes later in the chapter:
And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;
And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. Luke 1:39-45
What leaped in her womb for joy? John the Baptist, the as yet unborn babe, called of God to be the forerunner of the Christ child Mary was carrying within her womb. For anyone to miss the truth and point here is a veil of ignorance almost beyond comprehension.
Gal 1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
The apostle Paul claimed he was separated for the work of ministry from his mother's womb. A plan, a purpose, a direction, chosen from before birth by the Creator of all mankind.
ANYBODY who claims the Bible is silent on what life is, in God's eyes, and abortion, in principle, is truly a person with less than adequate time studying the Word of God.
Even for Sharpton, a professed and claimed preacher from childhood, to refer to himself as "Reverend," and for Scarborough to cavalierly call him "Rev" shows an ignorance of biblical truth:
Psa 111:9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.
No man should be referred to as "Reverend." That is a term and title for Jehovah God, alone.
Right now, because of the ignorance and/or agenda of Leftists, riots are taking place, with more to come. Even though SCOTUS just sent the decision back to the states, and made no declaration about abortion as a practice, the ignorant of society are flipping out. This kind of reactionary foolishness is what elitists use to control nations. They foment it with their own propaganda and narratives. It will eventually lead to the fall of the United States to another power someday, if it persists. Other nations are not so stupid. They are godless, by design, and have more sense than America does right now.
There is more that can be said about that conversation between Sharpton and Scarborough but, suffice to say, they really have no ideas what they are talking about, when it comes to the Bible.
Those who champion abortion are supporters of the murder of innocent life. Those who perform them are murderers. There is no other logical conclusion to come to. And that is even from a secular viewpoint, where the principles of Americanism are founded upon LIFE, Liberty and Pursuit of happiness. Nobody should have a right to an abortion to take the life of an innocent baby, especially right up to the time of birth, and some insane people believe even right after the birth, outside the womb.
People like Joe Scarborough and Al Sharpton are part of the process that shall leave America more weak than a baby in a womb. Watch it happen, and the fault will lie at the door of those who kept God far away from the affairs of man. Oh, I should not state that. A woman may be offended. Oh, wait, nobody knows what a woman is, anymore.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Today, the Press, itself, makes things up, do not check their own sources, couldn't care less if sources are correct and true but, only care a narrative is followed: an agenda is met.
For the most part, most Americans are aware of this ugly situation, and that would be on both sides of political issues. Some minds, unfortunately, believe anything they are told by the people they choose to trust, regardless of whether or not they are trustworthy. They can always be counted on to grant poll-takers and surveys a certain percentage of Yay or Nay. They are the useful idiots every society has. They are not critical thinkers. They are reactionaries and go off at whatever provocations their leaders claim is bad for the majority in any society; be it government, religious, business or any other.
The really terrible thing is when sharp people figure out ways to manipulate these citizens and members. That gets into propaganda and things that ultimately sink the ship everybody is on. Lies can never work. Ever. Not in the long run.
Religiously speaking, Lucifer has been lying the longest. Jesus called him "the father of lies." He began in Heaven, and was ultimately tossed out, driven out, with the Bible stating it was a "war in Heaven." No details are given about that war; just that it took place. Lies came to war. Get the picture?
Americans are now at war with each other. Not like the 1860's, though it may come to that again. That's why Leftists in power go for the guns. They don't care if the criminals have them. The criminals can be used to create dependence on a police state. They just do not want those within a society that stand against their agenda to have weapons to defend themselves from tyranny. Tyranny always has lies in its fabric. Then the place comes where you can just tell the people the truth - they are captives, they are cannon fodder, they are meaningless so, sit down and shut up and do as you are told. That is human history. America is on the borders of that land.
The abortion subject has been filled with more lies than just about any but, wars. Wars come with the most lies, before, during and after.
When political or news people state things about the Bible that are not true, those who love and know the Bible must speak up.
Frankly, making a comment about anything on MSNBC seems foolish because nobody really watches it and if Conservative news sites never brought up things stated on there, nobody would ever know about it. They do it to score points. It's a game, really, and Conservative news sites have an endless supply of ignorant things stated by Leftists. It's endless. It's a perpetual waterfall of rubbish.
Joe Scarborough, the Morning Joe-guy, interviewed an embarrassment of religious confusion, "Reverend" Al Sharpton, and the subject of abortion got thrown into a bowl of ignorance and lies and swirled around in a mix of batter that could not bake a cake of truth if their lives depended on it. And Scarborough is supposed to be the "conservative" voice on the network.
"MSNBC’s Morning Joe
June 27, 2022
7:13:33 a.m. Eastern
"JOE SCARBOROUGH: Well, and you know, Rev, they also, Democrats and Independents, and other people that are against this extremist vision of America and the phoniness of so-called Christian nationalists, they need to understand the truth about what's in the Bible and what's not in the Bible. It's important because that's been used on the right to justify this.
"You know, it's so fascinating that so-called conservatives have long said “oh, abortion, Roe needs to be overturned because abortion is never mentioned in the Constitution.”
"Well Rev, it's also not mentioned as you know better than anybody in the Bible. It's not mentioned in the New Testament, it's not mentioned in the Gospels, it's not mentioned by Jesus. Not one time. Which is why my church, the Southern Baptist Church, was still pro-choice through the 1970s, said women should have the decision on their own and the centralized state shouldn't step in and take that decision away from them.
"This is a very recent development and that truth needs to get out. Because I think right now Democrats feel like they're hamstrung by the fact that, “oh, we can't talk about it because this has to do with the Christian faith.” No, it doesn't, this has nothing to do with Jesus.
"Let me say it again, this has nothing to do with Jesus. This is political, especially for Evangelicals, ’79, 1980 Catholics, it goes back to the 1930s. but this is a recent development, historically. And Democrats need to understand that and they need to be aggressive, they need to go after voters and need to get the truth out there.
"REV. AL SHARPTON: Well not only do Democrats need to aggressively go out there, real Christians that really study the Bible ought to be incensed. I've been a preacher since I was a little boy. I am incensed and insulted they have hijacked the Bible and Jesus to distort and misquote, well it's not even a misquote-- create quotes that are not there to justify a right wing kind of ideology that would take away the rights of women and then scheduled to take other people's rights.
"And what is strange to me, Joe, they can see a scripture that is not there about abortion but they couldn't see love your neighbor when it came down to putting things through that would help the poor and help the needy."
I'll stop there. You can read the entire transcript here:
https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/margaret-buckley/2022/06/27/pastor-scarborough-and-reverend-al-sharpton-give-sermon
If I underlined the points at issue, the whole of it would be underlined. This entire exchange is so grossly foul and filled with ignorance it is difficult to read, knowing I am reading something from the mouths of professed Christians.
First and foremost, anybody who studies the Bible knows many things of daily life are not specifically mentioned it in but, PRINCIPLES to guide believers saturate the Book. Such is the case with abortion. Nobody has to create information out of thin air. The Bible is silent on driving cars fast on public roads, isn't it? But the Bible does state laws of man should be obeyed where they do not conflict with God's laws. That's why a father may break some speed limits, driving fast to a hospital with his pregnant wife, who is in pain and about to deliver a baby.
From a Biblical viewpoint, a Scriptural worldview, and I'll just put the verses chosen in a sequential order -
2Kings 19:3 And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
What are come to birth? CHILDREN. What are children? Can we trust Meriam-Webster?
"3a: an unborn or recently born person
… Meghan Markle, married Prince Harry, now pregnant with child.
— Laura Simonetti
I have no idea who Laura Simonetti is. I could look her up, but, the online version of Meriam-Webster uses her statement as an example that speaks volumes to this discussion.
Job 31:15 Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?
That "one" is the Creator. God fashions, makes, shapes, knits, creates, designs people IN THE WOMB. The mother's womb is the Creator's workshop, the most complex workshop in the universe.
Psa 139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
God has a purpose and a path for a person's life from the womb. We are the clay, He is the potter. It all begins in the infinite mind of God from even before conception and birth but, for the human experience, it is taking place in the womb, before birth.
Isa 49:1 Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.
He not only makes and designs, God calls people from the womb. He knows them by name. Isaiah was called, destined to the prophetic office before he was born.
Jer 1:4 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Jer 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Need it be any more plain than that? Can it be any more plain than that?
Life, in God's eyes begins at conception, in the womb, in a show of complexity that is mindboggling. It is not a collection of jelly, not a mass of gook, not some pile of nondescript fluids and solids. It is the beginning of a human baby.
Now, we see how God sees it. What about the life of that baby inside the womb?
Exo 21:22 And if men strive together, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart, and yet no harm follow; he shall be surely fined, according as the woman's husband shall lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
Exo 21:23 But if any harm follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
Exo 21:24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
Exo 21:25 burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
So, two men are fighting, a pregnant woman is somehow hurt in the struggle. If she goes into labor and she and the baby are unhurt, the men are only judged and fined. If there is any harm to mother or child, whatever harm comes is met out to the men who caused it, even to death. If that baby is harmed in the womb or dies in the womb or from the birth, the men are judged and sentenced accordingly even to death.
Now, how much intelligence does a person need to have, to realize if a baby dies from an accidental circumstance caused by a struggle between two men and a death sentence is placed upon the fighters, how much more sore and definitive the punishment for anyone to kill a baby in the womb ON PURPOSE?
Pro 6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
Pro 6:17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
Pro 6:18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
Pro 6:19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
There is NO LIFE more innocent than a baby in the womb.
It seems to me both Scarborough and Sharpton are in grave danger before the LORD.
Someone will obviously state, that is the Old Testament. What about the New?
Luke 1:13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
Luke 1:14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
Luke 1:15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
Luke 1:16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
According to the Bible, New Testament, John the Baptist was filled with the Spirit from his mother, Elisabeth's, womb. God called him, set his path and purpose, from the womb, to be the forerunner of the Messiah.
Now watch this passage that comes later in the chapter:
And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;
And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. Luke 1:39-45
What leaped in her womb for joy? John the Baptist, the as yet unborn babe, called of God to be the forerunner of the Christ child Mary was carrying within her womb. For anyone to miss the truth and point here is a veil of ignorance almost beyond comprehension.
Gal 1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
The apostle Paul claimed he was separated for the work of ministry from his mother's womb. A plan, a purpose, a direction, chosen from before birth by the Creator of all mankind.
ANYBODY who claims the Bible is silent on what life is, in God's eyes, and abortion, in principle, is truly a person with less than adequate time studying the Word of God.
Even for Sharpton, a professed and claimed preacher from childhood, to refer to himself as "Reverend," and for Scarborough to cavalierly call him "Rev" shows an ignorance of biblical truth:

611. Catholicism at War with Itself - July 2, 2022
Remember, I was raised Catholic. My commentary on Catholicism in these blog posts and Bible studies is not just based on Protestant understanding, though I often state the fact became, after becoming a Christian, I began to know more about Catholicism when I was totally disassociated with it. To my knowledge, all my family, both sides, are French Roman Catholics, save for one cousin, born again around the same time I was. So, again, I come to the subject with that history and make no disparaging remarks about Roman Catholics. They may be sincere or just completely nominal. They don't know the truth. I only comment on the RCC, the Vatican and the popes of that church, as well as other spokesmen, prelates, representatives because that system is the prophetic antichrist Beast of Daniel and Revelation.
Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, and her husband, went to Mass at St. Peter's Basilica.
https://nypost.com/2022/06/29/nancy-pelosi-receives-communion-at-vatican-despite-abortion-stance/
One of the priests officiating the mass with the Pope, placed the wafer of Roman Catholic communion on the tongue of Nancy Pelosi, a rabid supporter of abortion. The wafer does not just represent the body of Christ given for the sins of the world. No. The RC doctrine of Transubstantiation decrees this:
https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/library/thirteenth-session-of-the-council-of-trent-1479
"First of all, the holy council teaches and openly and plainly professes that after the consecration of bread and wine, our Lord Jesus Christ, true God and true man, is truly, really and substantially contained in the august sacrament of the Holy Eucharist under the appearance of those sensible things."
The Council of Trent was established to stand against the Protestant Reformation as a whole, and certain doctrines changing the face of civilization in Europe at the time of the 16th century.
Romanism has so oft stated down through the centuries Protestantism cannot be true because it is divided into so many sects and doctrines, it's a standing joke among Catholics. The divisions within Protestantism into those numerous bodies is simply the history of light coming out of darkness, and the refusal of earlier groups to continue to study for new light, and just plant their banners in the light their fathers had when it was discovered, down through the centuries. Romanism has always stated they are the true church because they are one. Not anymore.
Consider this event. Pelosi believes women should have the option of killing a baby in her womb. The RCC stands totally against that position. The Pope, supposedly the Vicar of Christ on Earth, is present as the "host," the consecrated wafer is placed on Pelosi's tongue, whereby the bread somehow miraculously changes into the body of Christ:
"transubstantiation
(n.)late 14c., "change of one substance to another," from Medieval Latin trans(s)ubstantiationem (nominative trans(s)ubstantio), noun of action from past participle stem of trans(s)ubstantiare "to change from one substance into another," from Latin trans "across, beyond" (see trans-) + substantiare "to substantiate," from substania "substance" (see substance). Ecclesiastical sense in reference to the Eucharist first recorded 1530s."
https://www.etymonline.com/word/transubstantiation
That's the meaning of the term. The bread crosses from that wafer to the body of Christ. Regardless of the doctrine and how Protestantism's groups agreed or disagreed, the fact is, the body of Christ was placed in the mouth of an open apostate from Catholic teaching by a representative of the the Pope, himself, in his presence!
For anyone to say Protestantism cannot be true because their are too many groups in it, only has to show how a Pope is tearing the supposed true church of Christ into fragments with his own actions.
I happen to believe the wafer stays a wafer and only represents the life, the body of Christ given for the sins of the world. It does not go through any magical, supernatural changes at the ritual words of a priest or pope.
If I were still a Catholic, a nominal Catholic, not even a studied and committed one, I'd have good reason to leave the church because it has obviously drifted into a state of glaring confusion and apostasy. That's what Babylon is.
Now, the RCC claims that Christ's words, the gates of hell cannot prevail over the church, apply to them, alone. Either Christ was wrong, or the gates of hell have prevailed over the supposed true church. You can't have it both ways. You see, a college of cardinals chose the pope, supposedly under the influence of the Holy Spirit, and the pope sits in the chair of Peter and in regards to statements of doctrine, is infallible. They can say a pope can sin, make poor choices, etc., but, in essence, for a pope to be present to have the body of Christ placed into an international heretic's mouth is no small matter. If Pelosi is blessed, abortion must be fine. Is that the position of the RCC now?
Millions of Catholics are now more confused than ever. The Pope has caused this.
There are distinct reasons why Protestantism had consistently referred to the RCC, Vatican and her popes as the Rev. 17. mother whore of abominations. The thing is, being a mother of harlots, she has daughters. Who are they? The Protestant churches who practice a few, some, many or most of Mother's doctrines. They no longer protest. They are all out there - from Catholic-lite Anglicanism to Southern Baptists - all keeping some, many or most of Romanism's traditions and heresies.
I have to say, for Pelosi's local priest and the archbishop of the diocese, especially, what can they do? The AB stated point blank, Pelosi should not receive communion. Oops. He now stands against Papa, Pontifex Maximus.
The cup of "mixation" within Romanism is toxic enough to make it plain people need to heed the call to come out of Babylon, religious confusion, Rev 18:1-5. The same goes for honest and sincere members of Protestant churches that teach any degrees of Romanism.
ALL of this is coming to a head, prophetically. Rome, her apostate, confused daughters, the remnant of Jesus taking a final stand - keeping the commandments of God and Christ's testimony, - the involvement of the "kings of the earth," and all humanity... all of it is coming. It cannot be stopped.
Jesus Christ is coming back again, in power and glory and manifestation of authority that will end the world.
2,000 years later, the end will finally come. In my lifetime? Not so sure anymore but, I have little doubt and my children's lifetime.
You can say whatever you want to about God, Christ, religion, any and all of it being foolishness. Say what you want. If that is your confidence, so be it.
My confidence is based on Bible prophecy, even more than my own, personal experience in being born again. I stand with the postle Peter:
2Pe 1:16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
2Pe 1:17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
2Pe 1:18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
2Pe 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
2Pe 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
2Pe 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
A more sure word of prophecy. Peter saw Christ transfigured, glorified. He saw it happen. Yet, he states prophecy is more sure than even what he saw with his own eyes.
So, those who rattle against everything "God," what can you say about the fulfillments of prophetic events stated centuries, even millennia before it happened?
Pelosi claims to be a committed, faithful Catholic. I doubt she knows anything more than a first-grader about Bible prophecy.
The Pope? What can you say about a man who sits in a palace with priceless art, gold and jewels all over the place, and is a communist???
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

612. Why Lockdowns? - July 3, 2022
Why the lockdowns, which went against all common sense and historic moves where illness was involved?
I started my laptop this morning and if you have Windows 10, a new picture comes up every time, or close to it, with a blip of info top left, center and up in the right corner it asks if you like what you are seeing or not.
This morning, a beautiful picture of mountains in Brazil showed up and the upper left corner informed me that human connection has a positive effect on our immune system. Learn more about how Microsoft keeps people connected to benefit our health.
Hm.
My instantaneous thought was, if medical research shows human connection benefits our immune system then lack of it would deplete or harm our immune system.
So, the devils who set-up and pulled off the plandemic locked down the world to impede the work of the immune system in fighting off the virus. Makes perfect sense. Once the immune system is already weakened, flood the system with the mRNA injections to further weaken it, if not put it down altogether, and just sit back and watch people die from dozens and dozens of different adverse reactions, which is happening, all over the world.
Everybody who knows the truth of the event has a difficult time watching these lunatics out and about, still free, still lying on tv interviews, still causing problems for humanity, even of the midst of humanity trying to go back to normal, and them telling us nothing will be normal again.
Now, Biden and company have come right out and told us life will be tough as we transition away from fossil fuels, and the war in Ukraine, *Putin's fault,* will continue to cause inflation, and food shortages are coming, and another pandemic, etc. A mentally depleted puppet is being used to run America into the ground.
At this point, I have serious doubts any poll or survey is telling the truth when it claims 30% of Americans think Biden is doing a good job. Are 30% of the population receiving Federal aid of some kinds? Maybe that is the case. The Democrats have bought a base of support. Still, if you drive, if you eat, if live, you are facing less and less money in your pocket after dealing with life's necessities. That affects everything else manufactured and sold, or services people regularly use.
These demons have little to no lack of confidence their plans to control the world will happen. There is really nothing that humanity can do to stop it, as far as they are concerned.
The choice is simple. Plead with God to step in and stop them or suffer the results of a world controlled in every direction we can step, in a functioning, hi-tech world. 'Functioning' is the key word.
An event could take place to cease the world's current function: a series of man-made, accidental disasters or, purposeful disasters or, a series of natural disasters. All of that is coming, regardless but, timing is everything. Man is not God, despite the haughtiness of thought humans develop. They have not the foresight, nor the understanding necessary to run a planet, and certainly not the natural power. Even with the entrance of super-smart A.I. to help them figure things out, just a couple massive CMEs (Coronal Mass Ejections), from the Sun - expected sooner or later btw - to wipe out satellite systems would place the world back a century.
The Creator always, always, has the upper hand. Judgment-day cometh as sure as it'll be 100 degrees on a July, Southwestern day.
Believers rest in that knowledge and know God is on His throne, in control, and soon to allow the world to enter its final days, again.
It is true the world is going to suffer. Millions will perish, from all kinds of reasons and events, including martyrdom for God's people but, with a living belief in resurrection morning, knowing death is but a temporary state of "sleep," as the Bible refers to it, hope can never be taken away. The blessed hope draws near.
Tomorrow, July 4th, is Independence Day in America. I have seen some pretty nasty comments from Leftists about that fact. I won't repeat the quotes but, suffice it to say, the number of people who hate America and the principles of Americanism, and the U.S. Constitution grows like Texas Bufflegrass invades a lawn.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
I started my laptop this morning and if you have Windows 10, a new picture comes up every time, or close to it, with a blip of info top left, center and up in the right corner it asks if you like what you are seeing or not.
This morning, a beautiful picture of mountains in Brazil showed up and the upper left corner informed me that human connection has a positive effect on our immune system. Learn more about how Microsoft keeps people connected to benefit our health.
Hm.

Independence Day 2022
If you are an American, today, July 4th, is the day Americans claimed their Independence from Great Britain. I am wondering if this will be the last Independence Day America... honors? Remembers? Celebrates? None of those words apply, coast to coast. Not anymore.
If things were back 250 years ago, another Revolution could be fought. Not today. Muskets and cannons are not the fighting force of today. So, the voting booth became the great weapon of freedom and liberty for a government of the people, by the people and for the people. Gone. Anyone who thinks the voting booth is safe and free is not paying attention to the reality of controllable technology, now under the control of criminal minds. This November will be no different than November 2020.
What's weird, as usual, is that the traitors believe they are saving America by breaking any and all laws necessary. Which obviously means we have anarchy, a political anarchy.
All over the nation governors and other elected civil servants, even the Pentagon is stating they will not obey the SCOTUS ruling on abortion, sending it back to the states. Hochul, governor of NY, has stated she will not obey the SCOTUS ruling on carrying firearms.
When you read the founding documents, you realize, in essence, things are worse than they were for the Founders and pioneers of this nation when they could take no more and decided to fight. Things are worse now.
Nobody has any answers. Lots of exposure of the corruption. Lots of opining. The corrupters are literally laughing.
Patience is the thing, now. Wisdom. Retention of integrity and character.
You see, if this is the end of America as the Constitutional Republic it was established as, and it does go radical Leftist in control; complete control: sit down and shut up control, there is only honor and the stability of character to wait on the judgments of God to fall, which they will, ultimately and inevitably.
The culture is crumbling. It does not mean much that a majority of Americans see it, loathe it, and reject it. Those in control do not care. Those minions who follow them do not care. The hatred they have for righteousness is devilish for a reason: the Spirit of God is being pushed away from the Earth. Those who want God to control their life will more and more stand demarcated from the growing majority, as it becomes more and more hateful and corrupt.

"People don’t realize what they have," Dekel said, showing his emotions. "The things we did and the things we fought for and the boys that died for it, it’s all gone down the drain."
There's a statement from an article in an old, 19th century Christian Newspaper, the Review and Herald, that marks the present and future well:
"Already the judgments of God are abroad in the land, as seen in storms, in floods, in tempests, in earthquakes, in perils by land and by sea. The great I AM is speaking to those who make void his law. When God's wrath is poured out upon the earth, who will then be able to stand? Now is the time for God's people to show themselves true to principle. When the religion of Christ is most held in contempt, when his law is most despised, then should our zeal be the warmest and our courage the most unflinching. To stand in defense of truth and righteousness when the majority forsake us, to fight the battles of the Lord when champions are few,--this will be our test. At this time we must gather warmth from the coldness of others, courage from their cowardice, and loyalty from their treason. The nation will be on the side of the great rebel leader." RH, January 11, 1887
Happy Independence Day.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

613. The Nature of Godlessness - 7/4/22
You have probably seen these, already. I saw them today. If not, behold the nature of godlessness:
Apparently the man took that post down but, not before his feelings were screen-grabbed by many. And he refers to himself as "4 America." What, exact America is he talking about? Not the one my father fought a world war to protect the Constitution in. Not the one the Founders built.
Americans did not write these things. They may live in America and be counted as citizens but, they are not Americans. Americans do not spout such hatred against those who disagree with them. Rational discussion is sought for. The "Mob," the "woke," do not want rational discussion. Principle stands against their actions. They do not care about principle nor the rule of law. Love for our fellowman stands against such hatred and irrationality but, the minds that write such things are ignorant. Ignorant humans wrote those things. Well, honestly, these are the words of beasts, not humans, as God designed us. Of course, they reject any notion of God. That's the starting point. Godlessness.
Every heinous act in human history is based on godlessness. Yes, that also means those who persecute in the name of God and Jesus Christ. There is no difference.
Consider when God destroyed the world with the global deluge, the above was the policy of the populace of planet Earth. Violent, corrupt, only evil in the hearts continually. The entire world is going down this path again, only, guess what? This attitude is going to be held by those professing belief in God. Just like the religious professors of faith that slew the prophets, that killed Christ, that took the life of Stephen, that slaughtered God's people for centuries... they all did so in the name of God and Christ.
Circumstances are going to develop again, where the words of Jesus are going to come true again:
John 16:1 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
John 16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
John 16:3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
Every century has shown this godlessness come to pass. Some centuries far worse than others.
Right now professed Christians are watching a form of godlessness threaten society; atheistic but, a backlash is coming, backed up by all power, signs, lying wonders, and the supposed presence of God. A massive, delusive, false, miracle-working revival is coming. No toleration will be the ultimate attitude. Get on the bandwagon or you will not be allowed to buy or sell, and finally, a universal death decree for any who will not obey the laws of man in the mark of the beast and his image. The Beast of Revelation and his image, are professors of religion, not purely secular powers.
The above posters are blaming Christians for a decision of SCOTUS, based on the rule of law: Constitutional law. Do you believe professed Christians will be any different when the world is undergoing catastrophes and cataclysms? They will look for people to blame, in the same way. Who is to blame? Who is causing this? God is angry? Whose fault is it? THEM. It has always been that way. The godless never blame themselves. It's always someone else' fault. As the apostle Paul warned, in the perilous times of the last days - having a form of godliness but, denying the power thereof. From such, turn away.
A form of godliness but, it is actually godlessness. It denies the power of God to change lives and sanctify them. It denies God's sovereignty found in His Law. It is antichrist - in place of Christ.
Those willing to post disgusting things like the above will drop jaw when the final deceptions and false revival take place. Their tune will change about "Christians" and those loyal to the coming laws of man. Their tune will not change in how those who will not go along should be handled.
The wheat and tares, my friends. They look the same until the harvest is ready. Then you can tell the difference. The full measure of the plant's nature is made plain when ripe. So it shall be among mankind.
I believe entering the small time of trouble is here. How long will it last? How long will society hold together? Will a reprieve come? I do not know. That's why we walk by faith, not by sight.
God is on His throne, my friends. Never forget it.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

614. Superglue Me, Baby! - July 5, 2022
Superglue Me! I'm protesting!
As more and more young people are gluing themselves to works of art, I wonder. Do they actually think it through?
July 4th is supposed to be a memorial of the day the Founders declared their Independence from England and live under another sovereign law. Not the right of kings but, the Sovereignty of God unmolested by kings and queens, popes and prelates, despots and devils. They fought a hard war against the greatest army in the Western hemisphere, should have been crushed but, won. Americans celebrate the events of the 18th century America being forgotten.
But, that is not what today is about. Today it's about fireworks; the physical pleasure of fireworks. Big industry now. Costs quite a lot of money to get a decent display going. We did it one year, a few years ago. Was okay. 20-30 minutes, done by 9:30.
Last night people in the neighborhood went well after midnight. They certainly were not celebrating July 4th. They were just shooting off fireworks. At midnight I walked to a neighbor's yard and tried to politely remind them people had to get up early to go to work. The young guy told me they were fixing to stop and were almost done. No apology. No rational behavior. Just an arrogant response letting me know they were going to do what they wanted because they wanted to. Half hour later, it finally stopped, on July 5th.
I was not raised that way. You disturb people, you apologize and try not to do it again. 10 pm is the normal quitting time for such things, usually. For me, with drums, I'm always afraid I'll be bothering someone. It's happened in the past, more than once. One time a neighbor complained, cops came by and saw that I had enclosed the drum set in an insulted structure where it was hot and hard to breathe. They saw I was trying to keep the volume down best I could but, the neighbor worked third shift and slept while we rehearsed. They told me they had to answer the complaint but, we were well within the time period to create more than normal volume so, they left. I really couldn't enjoyably play after that. From the time I was a teenager, times developed when someone was bothered by the sound of my drums and cymbals. I tried to accommodate neighbors because that's how I was raised.
If a child throws a tantrum, does it change anything? Not with parents who understand the job of parenting. You can act as foul as you can muster it isn't going to change bedtime, and you might end up hitting the bedroom early, at that. Throwing a tantrum is recognized as childish behavior and all you do is make a spectacle of yourself, and be a pest.
So, seriously, if people are gluing themselves to works of art, to doorways, to countertops, to whatever, and cannot be pulled away without tearing skin, because they are protesting something, am I thinking about what they are protesting or am I thinking how they are being a pest to others, and in some cases ruining physical objects that are not theirs?
I'm not into picture frames. I know they can cost a whole lot of money, and are as much art as what they frame. Putting superglue on some centuries old frame? Seriously? You think I'm going to care what you think about SCOTUS and their abortion ruling because you glued your hand to a painting frame? What are you thinking?
You think SCOTUS justices will even see your package of menstrual blood mailed to them? You think people will think you have a right to kill a baby because you put some animal blood on your clothing around your crotch? Your protest is not based on rationale. It's based on feelings. Feelings are not the rule of law. Things are to be discussed based on the Constitution and rule of law. You go before SCOTUS, you present your case. Everything should be decided based on the rule of law but, that is not always the case. Yes, politics and religion can become involved. Neither were part of Justice Thomas and the majority's review.
If a woman... wait... a woman? You mean, people actually do know what a woman is? If a woman has a right to an abortion that means she has a right to kill another human being, growing in her womb. It is not her body. It is another, independent body growing inside her. That's the process. You can believe a Creator established it or you can believe it happened by a series of accidents, mutations and "natural selection." Either way, it is not your body. It's in your body but, it's another body, a human body, and American principle and law claims all people have a right to life. How can you have a right to kill, if that human has a right to live, and that right, according to the Founders of the nation, came from God?
Abortion; protesting SCOTUS sending the issue back to the states, by gluing your hand to something is lame. Face it. You want people to care about the skin on your hand while you want the right to kill a baby? Are you serious?
Scores of people showed up to the Arizona state house to protest. They wanted inside. They rattled the doors, banged on the windows and gubernatorial candidate, Kari Lake, is right. The national Guard should have been called in to disperse that crowd. HOW is that any different from what took place January 6, 2021? Because they made it inside the building? How is one an insurrection and the other is not? Nobody outside the AZ statehouse cared about the rule of law. Nobody there cared about the Constitution. Nobody there carried an American flag and prayed to God, and sang patriotic songs. I am not going as far as Lake, in saying they wanted blood but, they were violent. Were the violent ones plants from the FBI, like on January 6? I doubt that.
I have zero problem with people being held accountable for their actions. If people try to break things or do break things, they should be held responsible and accountable. That goes for any and all on January 6, 2021.
Any reasonable person knows the J6 hearings are one of the biggest shams in American history. Any and every rational person who has seen the evidence knows the event was not an insurrection. A weaponless insurrection. Gee, what could go wrong? Talking to Capitol police inside the building. Wow, violent. Take over the government, why don't you?
Go ahead, glue yourself to something and see how much change you cause. I'm predicting zip.
If all you want to do is protest to be seen, then it's all about you, isn't it, not the issue you are "protesting" about.
You may as well eat Tide pods, and run into freeway traffic or some other senseless and stupid dare. All you do is show you are being irrational.
Prove by the rule of law, by principles, by ethics you have a Federal right granted of God to kill a baby in your womb. Do that. And don't tell me the right of the baby must be put aside because "women" will suffer botched, illegal abortions in states that outlaw them, as the states regard a right to life. You do not and cannot violate a principle from an after effect of violating it. Nobody wants to see women physically harmed. You got pregnant. Don't bring rape into it and certainly not the life of the mother. Abortion on demand has almost nothing to do with those circumstances because it's either very rare or medically handled. You want to copulate. If you do, own it, or don't do it if it may result in your inconvenience. Oh, you say. Don't shove my religious values down your throat? Common sense is not always religious. Certainly, stupidity is not. Although I suppose ignorance and stupidity can be a "religion." People worship what they will. The reality of 'dumb and dumber.'
300 million Americans have been grossly inconvenienced because of a criminally planned and stolen presidential election, and probably state elections, as well; seeing the criminal system works so well. People struggling with paying money for gasoline and putting food on the table, and buying their children things they need is a direct result of your dislike of Donald Trump and caring not for the Constitution and rules of law states have for elections but, your dislike of a man's personality, who, in fact, was instrumental in making your life better for four years. Biden is breaking records as the worst president in American history because you could not be bothered to care about free and fair, rule of law elections. So, frankly, honestly? Your hand glued to a picture frame means about as much as some ants in my kitchen.
Grow up. Everybody will always be upset about something. Get over it. If you have the principles, state so. If not, don't be a pest. Nobody has a right not to be offended. That includes Americans offended by those who consider them worthy of death because they care about the right to life.
God bless America.
Can He?

You think people will think you have a right to kill a baby because you put some animal blood on your clothing around your crotch? Your protest is not based on rationale. It's based on feelings. Feelings are not the rule of law. Things are to be discussed based on the Constitution and rule of law. You go before SCOTUS, you present your case. Everything should be decided based on the rule of law but, that is not always the case. Yes, politics and religion can become involved. Neither were part of Justice Thomas and the majority's review.
If a woman... wait... a woman? You mean, people actually do know what a woman is? If a woman has a right to an abortion that means she has a right to kill another human being, growing in her womb. It is not her body. It is another, independent body growing inside her. That's the process. You can believe a Creator established it or you can believe it happened by a series of accidents, mutations and "natural selection." Either way, it is not your body. It's in your body but, it's another body, a human body, and American principle and law claims all people have a right to life. How can you have a right to kill, if that human has a right to live, and that right, according to the Founders of the nation, came from God?
Abortion; protesting SCOTUS sending the issue back to the states, by gluing your hand to something is lame. Face it. You want people to care about the skin on your hand while you want the right to kill a baby? Are you serious?
Scores of people showed up to the Arizona state house to protest. They wanted inside. They rattled the doors, banged on the windows and gubernatorial candidate, Kari Lake, is right. The national Guard should have been called in to disperse that crowd. HOW is that any different from what took place January 6, 2021? Because they made it inside the building? How is one an insurrection and the other is not? Nobody outside the AZ statehouse cared about the rule of law. Nobody there cared about the Constitution. Nobody there carried an American flag and prayed to God, and sang patriotic songs. I am not going as far as Lake, in saying they wanted blood but, they were violent. Were the violent ones plants from the FBI, like on January 6? I doubt that.
I have zero problem with people being held accountable for their actions. If people try to break things or do break things, they should be held responsible and accountable. That goes for any and all on January 6, 2021.
Any reasonable person knows the J6 hearings are one of the biggest shams in American history. Any and every rational person who has seen the evidence knows the event was not an insurrection. A weaponless insurrection. Gee, what could go wrong? Talking to Capitol police inside the building. Wow, violent. Take over the government, why don't you?
Go ahead, glue yourself to something and see how much change you cause. I'm predicting zip.
If all you want to do is protest to be seen, then it's all about you, isn't it, not the issue you are "protesting" about.
You may as well eat Tide pods, and run into freeway traffic or some other senseless and stupid dare. All you do is show you are being irrational.
Prove by the rule of law, by principles, by ethics you have a Federal right granted of God to kill a baby in your womb. Do that. And don't tell me the right of the baby must be put aside because "women" will suffer botched, illegal abortions in states that outlaw them, as the states regard a right to life. You do not and cannot violate a principle from an after effect of violating it. Nobody wants to see women physically harmed. You got pregnant. Don't bring rape into it and certainly not the life of the mother. Abortion on demand has almost nothing to do with those circumstances because it's either very rare or medically handled. You want to copulate. If you do, own it, or don't do it if it may result in your inconvenience. Oh, you say. Don't shove my religious values down your throat? Common sense is not always religious. Certainly, stupidity is not. Although I suppose ignorance and stupidity can be a "religion." People worship what they will. The reality of 'dumb and dumber.'
300 million Americans have been grossly inconvenienced because of a criminally planned and stolen presidential election, and probably state elections, as well; seeing the criminal system works so well. People struggling with paying money for gasoline and putting food on the table, and buying their children things they need is a direct result of your dislike of Donald Trump and caring not for the Constitution and rules of law states have for elections but, your dislike of a man's personality, who, in fact, was instrumental in making your life better for four years. Biden is breaking records as the worst president in American history because you could not be bothered to care about free and fair, rule of law elections. So, frankly, honestly? Your hand glued to a picture frame means about as much as some ants in my kitchen.
Grow up. Everybody will always be upset about something. Get over it. If you have the principles, state so. If not, don't be a pest. Nobody has a right not to be offended. That includes Americans offended by those who consider them worthy of death because they care about the right to life.
God bless America.

Revolution? Don't Get Excited
A new poll from the University of Chicago's Institute of Politics - 'Our Precarious Democracy: Extreme Polarization and Alienation in Our Politics' - states 28% of Americans believe it may be necessary to take up arms against the American government.
https://uchicagopolitics.opalstacked.com/uploads/homepage/Polarization-Poll.pdf
Question. When is insurrection just? Someone has to decide. If America is now under the control of those who openly admit they are moving towards and into a "Liberal World Order," denying the sovereignty of America and its Constitutional Republic-form of government, is insurrection just? Logically, yes.
Check out the article on the findings of this poll. Ask yourself how could, what could ever bring Americans together again, as a United States of America? War? Not happening. Ukraine has divided Americans. Terrorism? Right now the Federal government acts as the main terror against law-biding Americans. How many nighttime raids with guns and armor ready need to take place upon American citizens before a 'police state' is just openly declared to be the new law of the land? I guess enough statues weren't torn down last year to realize anarchy exists. Leftists get to violently protest and loot and burn and destroy. People on the Right get locked up just for walking into the Capitol in a large, vociferous mass, and taking pictures, and even get shot dead. No, don't bother. Ashli Babbitt should not have been trying to get through the side window of an interior door. Getting shot dead for doing so and not holding the officer involved responsible? Corruption with a capital C.
A majority of Americans are seriously fed up. But, they're weary and tired, too, trying to keep it together in their own lives and lives of their families.
The poll is pretty fascinating, if not sobering. 28%. I would not get excited. If any shooting started I'd believe that number drops to around 10% or less. Then there's the fact that Americans are outgunned by police and military.
Now, 10% of 330 million people is a whole lot more than all the nation's police departments and military combined. A scattered army of 33 million armed citizens would be a serious INSURRECTION challenge. I imagine plenty of national guard troops would fight on the side of American citizens, too. That would remain to be seen where those troops are under the Leftist governors in those states. Civil War, anyone? No. Sarcasm and joking about this is detrimental to the situation. And you can bet the farm the Federal government is preparing for any and all possible dissention. They cannot be surprised by any kind of revolt.
All Americans are waking up. The thing is, I really do not see anything that can literally be done to reverse what is happening at the Federal level. Sorry. That does not mean I do not see something happening. Prophecy is plain about that.
One of two or two of two choices.
#1. A massive, false revival backed up by "all power, signs and lying wonders" and "fire from Heaven" (the presence of God); just as the prophets of the Bible predicted.
#2. Enter "E.T." A "angel of light" precursor to or part of the false revival, to gather the world together in a delusional Kumbaya of "peace and safety."
Things are going to get interesting.
Don't you love it when prophecy comes together?

McCullough Denounces Vaccines?
Dallas, Texas physician, Dr. Peter McCullough, entered the Covid battlefield and had his life turned upside down just for relating data on the event. The more he spoke out, the more he was marginalized. The more he was marginalized, the more "red-pilled" he became. The worse they made things for him, the more his eyes opened. That's the unfortunate way it goes most of the time, regardless of subject, event, issue, whatever. Take a stand based on truth, watch your life get trashed by those protecting something with lies.
McCullough has been a constant proponent of the efficacy of vaccines; real vaccines. Now? In the linked interview this relatively mild-mannered, day-to-day physician, author, researcher and medical giant (literally), is changing his stance on the world of Big Pharma and their "vaccines."
https://www.redvoicemedia.com/2022/07/im-dropping-them-dr-peter-mccullough-turns-vaccine-skeptic-video/
Thankfully, because of his and other's exposure to the public on alternative news media, only around 1-2% of parents have had their toddlers injected.
The world is now waking up to what has been perpetuated upon them. Unfortunately, the data on adverse reactions grows more ominous.
While the world attempts to get back to normal life, a constant reminder of what the planet went through will be prolonged by what families are going through and will continue to go through, in pain and suffering.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

615. The Bible Loses More Ground - July 8, 2022
Gallup Poll. Not good news about the Good News.
Fewer in U.S. Now See Bible as Literal Word of Godhttps://news.gallup.com/poll/394262/fewer-bible-literal-word-god.aspx
"WASHINGTON, D.C. -- A record-low 20% of Americans now say the Bible is the literal word of God, down from 24% the last time the question was asked in 2017, and half of what it was at its high points in 1980 and 1984. Meanwhile, a new high of 29% say the Bible is a collection of "fables, legends, history and moral precepts recorded by man." This marks the first time significantly more Americans have viewed the Bible as not divinely inspired than as the literal word of God. The largest percentage, 49%, choose the middle alternative, roughly in line with where it has been in previous years."
What's amazing about this information, to me, is the reason for this situation. A situation like this arises, develops and gets worse not because of the Bible, an absolutely astonishing volume of incredibly valuable information about almost any subject you want answers for but, comes as a result of fewer and fewer preachers in pulpits regarding the Bible as the essential need for believers. The Bible says it, itself:
Job 23:12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
Psa 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
Psa 19:8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
Psa 19:9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
Psa 19:10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
Psa 19:11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
Now, it seems with this kind of language found in the Book, about the Book, you'd think preachers would be trumpeting this message to the world. Apparently not, in America. That's why the poll/survey I mentioned awhile back stated fewer and fewer clergy believe in a biblical worldview. The pulpits have become stage plays for actors in big entertainment centers.
Of course, non-believers and especially antagonists of biblical faith rejoice at this. This is good news for those who want to see religion, and especially Christianity, scraped from the planet.
Psa 14:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psa 14:2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
Psa 14:3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
The information is deemed so important, it is repeated by king David:
Psa 53:1 To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.
Psa 53:2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
Psa 53:3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
This situation is certainly not new. The days of Noah, times down through the centuries in the history of ancient Israel, the Dark Ages, the French Revolution, and now the "modern age."
The Bible is still here. The hammers beat on it incessantly. The hammers wear out. The anvil remains.
There's a reason for that:
Heb 4:12 For the Word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing apart of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Heb 4:13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight, but all things are naked and opened to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.
The Bible is alive. It's active. It reaches to the depths of the emotions and intellect and discerns a person's heart and their intentions, their motives. When we read it, it slices open and reveals things to us, necessary things, for our betterment now and in preparation of what is coming. It's a living book and regardless of how mankind treats it, it stays alive because truth cannot be killed. It can be rejected, neglected, disrespected but, it cannot die. Truth cannot die. The nature of truth is eternal; as eternal as God, the Author of truth is.
Bear in mind the oldest book of the Bible, Job. I've mentioned this before. The book opens with Lucifer going before God and telling Him how he walks up and down the Earth and sorry, looks like everybody is following me, not You. The Lord replies, Have you considered my servant Job?
Job is a mixture of literature, both real history and also a lot of prose and allegories and metaphors but, the point is made. One man stood his ground against the tide of children who cared only about partying, an unbelieving wife, who tells him to curse God and die, so wretched and miserable was he in her sight, and "friends" who accused him of either lying or being too ignorant to realize his situation was his fault.
Satan pummeled him. His wife tore his heart out, his supposed friends made him more miserable than he was already, and God rebuked him for not seeing things as clearly as he should have (as well as rebuking Job's "friends") but, God also restored to Job everything he lost at Satan's hand. Job stood the test, against everything and everyone around him forsaking him, blaming him, taunting him...
It does not matter if 99 99/100% of humanity rejects the authority of the Word of God. There will always be people who know it is true and will honor it and abide by it.
The world is coming to an end. It should be no surprise people claiming belief in God show their double mindedness and confusion, nor a surprise more and more people cast God aside altogether.
Ah but, once again, remember; a great false revival is coming. All power, signs and lying wonders displayed before the world to deceive it and cover it with delusions and lies, and those who reject the full nature of the Word of God will be caught in the Devil's nets. The fault will lie at their own door.
Those who maintain, and keep marching, will experience the presence of God now, and Face to face for all eternity. Why? Because the Bible works:
John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
Php 1:6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ,
Php 2:13 For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.
1John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
1John 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Terrorism or Vandalism?
So, somebody set off an explosive device at the Georgia Guidestone site and took apart one of the stones. Apparently the explosion was enough to weaken the whole thing so, they took it all down. Sorry, not sorry.
Having been to the area many times, and even thinking about living there, for it's a beautiful area of the country, the more I see from the mouths of people who run the state, the happier I am not to live there.
Nobody but, criminals endorse violence, and public property or private property should be left alone. Here's what I find interesting, though:
"A Georgia prosecutor described the apparent targeting of a mysterious monument with an explosive device as an “act of domestic terrorism,” saying Thursday that the alleged crime was aimed at the county authorities that own the site.
“The destruction of a public building by explosive is inherently intended to influence the actions of the governing authority that owns the structure,” Parks White, the Northern Judicial Circuit district attorney, said in an email about the Wednesday explosion of the Georgia Guidestones.
“The use of violence to sway or alter the behavior of any government agency is terrorism,” said White, whose office would handle a potential prosecution. The Elbert County Board of Commissioners is the site’s governing authority, he said."
https://endtimeheadlines.org/2022/07/georgia-prosecutor-calls-explosion-at-americas-stonehenge-an-act-of-domestic-terrorism/
The article actually mentions a lot more information about "America's Stonehenge" than I was aware of.
I know what you're instantly thinking. How is it riots and destruction of public property and private property, to influence government, caused by Antifa and Black Lives Matter, or radical Leftists threatening Supreme Court Justices are not acts of domestic terrorism but, someone blowing up a stone slab out in the countryside is?
Welcome to the Divided States of America, where vandalism is now domestic terrorism.
So, if you set fire to public buildings, if you break into private property and steal things, if you march against a police force and hurl things at them, to harm them, to influence the government they work for, none of that is domestic terrorism.
The hypocrisy is so thick you could not cut it with a laser jet.
Mind you, the death of George Floyd allowed entire cities to be burned, boarded up and looted.
The Guidestones' information, decidedly against the American Constitution government officials take oaths to protect, from all enemies, foreign and domestic, could not be touched.
Well, freedom of speech is freedom of speech, and the stones should not have been harmed by an explosive device. It's just the example of the duplicity and hypocrisy that shows how messed up America is.
The world is watching. Well, not so much in Sri Lanka. They're not watching. They are staging protests against their own government and even marched into the President's residence. They've had it with their government.
Clashes are going to develop, more and more. It is inevitable. You could not pay me to live in or near a city. They are going to explode. It will eventually move to the lesser populated areas. Food shortages, water shortages, illness and disease, man-made and natural disasters, tensions will rise like a Texas thermometer.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Having been to the area many times, and even thinking about living there, for it's a beautiful area of the country, the more I see from the mouths of people who run the state, the happier I am not to live there.

Mind you, the death of George Floyd allowed entire cities to be burned, boarded up and looted.
The Guidestones' information, decidedly against the American Constitution government officials take oaths to protect, from all enemies, foreign and domestic, could not be touched.
Well, freedom of speech is freedom of speech, and the stones should not have been harmed by an explosive device. It's just the example of the duplicity and hypocrisy that shows how messed up America is.
The world is watching. Well, not so much in Sri Lanka. They're not watching. They are staging protests against their own government and even marched into the President's residence. They've had it with their government.
Clashes are going to develop, more and more. It is inevitable. You could not pay me to live in or near a city. They are going to explode. It will eventually move to the lesser populated areas. Food shortages, water shortages, illness and disease, man-made and natural disasters, tensions will rise like a Texas thermometer.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

616. Unconditional Love - July 9, 2022
You may have read about the head of the church of Satan, in South Africa, who left it all and became a Christian. His simple reason? He encountered unconditional love. He berated a Christian woman and she hugged him. He never felt such love in his life. It confused him and in the ensuing days of shaking his fist at a God he did not believe existed, God surrounded him with even more presence of love and it caused him to realize the nature and character of his Creator.
Jer 9:23 Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
Jer 9:24 But let him that glories glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.
He is not the first member of the church of Satan to experience the salvation of God. I've read other stories.
Jesus said this:
John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
John 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
We are all sinners in need of a Saviour. We may not recognize the need and yet, everyone has a desire, a need to be loved.
When you think about it, that, in and of itself, dismantles any notion of Darwinism, which is mindless progression of accidents and survival of the fittest. Love is not in that mix because love is a principle born of our Creator. God is love. While I and so many others down through time shook our fists at God, it's because people do not know Him or understand Him. Certainly bacteria have no need to love. Darwinism has no need for love. It's all naturalism, materialism, accidents, mutations, survival, not sacrificial love. Love denies mindless evolution. There is no need for love in a world that just seeks to survive for the sake of survival. How did such a thing as selfless love enter into such a world as Darwinism professes and claims? It could not. If anything it weakens survival instincts. Love seeks the survival of another before self. It is the antithesis of Darwinian evolution.
When I experienced the love of God the night I was born again, and in the days that transpired afterward, no I was not perfect. Far from it but, the path, the course, the direction was more real to me than my own name. How can that be? Love. The presence of God within, without, all around, the entire universe. God loves us because God is love.
That does not change principles of justice and judgment. It just sets in place a foundation which justice and judgment are based upon. If you love God, you will love your fellowman, regardless of their sins, though accountability and responsibility for hurt and crime remains in our human sphere. Love and law, in God's kingdom, are joined. They can only work in God's kingdom because God knows the mind, the heart of every person. In our world, the rule of law must be maintained because the heart of man is desperate and deceitful and filled with self, which is destructive. It's in all of us. The potential for hurting others is in us, whether we want to see it or not. God's love works to remove that influence from us and replace it with selflessness.
I used to find all kinds of hooks to hang my doubts on. I had dozens of reasons to not believe a God existed. What changed my mind? For me, it was Bible prophecy. In my ignorance, I could attack the character and actions of God all day long but, I could not fight the accuracy and definitive nature of fulfilled prophecy centuries, millennia in advance. It's just not reasonable. Reason dictates predicting something that comes to pass must be investigated. The more I read, the more obvious it became God was real, present, calling, and I had to answer. I could not ignore. I could no longer argue my points of atheistic persuasion. They became utter futility and foolishness. I asked God to take my life and do whatever He wanted with it, I just needed to believe. The following moments changed my life so dramatically, my own parents no longer knew me. The guys in the band, friends no longer knew me. I radically changed directions and they were all stunned. What could do that? Love. God's love.
I see more and more people in Hollywood professing faith in Christ. I see it in sports. I see it in all fields of life. As more and more people become hardened, others are softening under the grace of God.
The fields are ready for harvest. People want answers. They want solid direction and hope. There is direction and hope. It is found in Jesus Christ, our Creator, our Saviour, our Brother, the coming King of all things.
People around the world are losing grip on reality. Strife, and all of it that shows us things are not right. They are vividly wrong. What is it? It is the dying breaths and gasps of a world completely out of harmony with God.
I look out my window as I type and look at the neighbor's horses and cattle grazing. I hear birds singing. I see Hummers come to the feeders. It's hard to believe all of it is about to be decisively destroyed by the return of the Lord. Why do I believe it? Because of all the other prophecies that have come to pass and especially because God changed me. He revolutionized me. He continues to renovate me, as I cooperate with Him.
I'm still a mess. In some respects, worse now than I was 43 years ago. I need God's love. There is just no question about it. We all do, especially in the days ahead, as the world loses its grip on goodness.
God is love. The world denies it, rejects it because love cannot be separated from law. It is all God's character. People want "love" without law, without restrictions, without denial of self. They want self, and self alone. That attitude shall prevail throughout the globe in the times coming. Mark it. Do not look away. Watch and see.
The end of all things, and the beginning of new things, is at hand.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Jer 9:23 Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:

Popeye Goes Woke
Shiver me timbers! 93 year old Popeye is going "woke."
https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2022/07/06/popeye-comic-strip-getting-woke-makeover-with-more-characters-who-arent-heterosexual/
I grew up with Popeye and Olive Oyl and spinach, and "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday, for a hamburger today," Wimpy, and Jeeps and Goons and all the rest of the dozens of characters in a rather simplistic cartoon program.
Actually, I'm surprised Popeye has not been tagged as an entitled White Supremacist by now, or a White nationalist, or just a violent White man.
I loved Popeye. All the kids did. We learned about courage and being nice to people and standing up for the little guy.
Today, Popeye is destined to become "woke." So is Spiderman, Capt. America, and other facets of Americana when we all knew what a man was, and what a woman was, and what they weren't.
I am so glad I am rounding the corner of life and will not have to watch the complete disintegration of what my father fought a world war to preserve.
Admittedly, most of America has not become a freak show. The news just makes it seem that way. Just the same, the trends are underway, the commonality of displacement of reality will continue to engage and overtake the world.
I won't post it here but, I saw a picture of a 16 year old boy, who went to his prom dressed in a glitzy, red tux top in big red skirt, and the apparently the school staff and students cheered wildly when he showed up.
I'll honestly state, I don't know if the kid was serious or just did it for comedic effect. Even Popeye and Cary Grant wore a dress. Somehow I doubt the kid was going a Mrs. Doubtfire route.
Diversity. It just makes so much sense to have no standards, no lines, no barriers; nothing but, blur. Easy. Do your own thing and castigate anyone who sees things differently, and has a take on things that's old fashioned, straitlaced and extreme. Marginalize them. Shut them up.
"Do what thou wilt." That's the battle cry.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

617 - A.I. Music. Told You So. - July 9, 2022
Recap. Years ago I had discussions on a drummer's forum about A.I. taking over the entire music industry, producing music without human input. Even to the point of performance through A.I. robotics. "Never," was the general response because... the creativity of the mind.
My first thoughts of this process came from watching Animusic videos. Fascinating. Although the animation "musicians" are tongue-in-cheek, as it were, based on a "Rube Goldberg-type," futuristic machines, it got me thinking back then that computerized music will come without human necessities of programming.
Now, being a Bible-believing Christian, and believing in creation, no one will have more respect than I do for what God created in the capacity and function of the human brain. That, coupled with the human mind, is a veritable universe of creativity and imagination. Given.
The issue is, can all the information in the world, about music, be placed onto computer chips and can A.I. read it all, dissect it all, and not just imitate what has already been done but, create new music? I believed the answer to that question back then was, Yes. Today, I am proven correct.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyeW_axUEQU
That's a video from the Cold Fusion channel I've mentioned before. The video was posted last September. This is not future. This is now, today. It will blow your mind if you are not familiar with this subject.
The kicker is this. Today's music is already "artificial," made by human composers. It's all 1's and 0's. Digital synthesizers. Acoustic instruments, human voice can all be digitized and remodeled into anything. Literally anything. A huge amount of what we hear today is not "real," by way of human-made and played musical instruments. Even where just humans and acoustic instruments are used, it's an open field of digitized augmentation.
If I had a nickel for every comment on a drummer forum where someone stated they want the sound of that snare drum, that bass drum, that ride cymbal they heard on a recording and are not aware that they have been augmented with digital patches of some kind. They aren't "real" by virtue of their original, acoustic sound.
When the vocal chorus synths came out a few decades ago, for basic, homeowner, regular folks type-use, people were stunned and jaw-dropped at what those things could do then. What they do now is beyond, beyond. One person singing multiple parts, with instruments, etc. Computers have changed it all. Even simple pitch correct. Sing a sour note? Move your mouse, turn a knob and bend it back straight. I am a total novice to this stuff and don't know a drop in the ocean of everything that can be done today; commonplace, accepted, used all over the world in all genres of music, even Gospel music, which might seem an oxymoron.
Drummers have known what drum machines could do, "putting the drummer out of a job," for forty years. Well, human drumists are still at it, along with human musicians at all positions in bands and orchestras. How much longer?
Money will decide. If you think the suits who run the music industry will not jump at the chance to bypass egotistical people who think they are God's gift to the world; prima donnas, drama queens, doped-up, boozed-up party animals that are a pita to work with, when they can have it all, any style, any genre and just need some in-house software techs, you are not with the program; their program - MONEY, profits.
Gospel music may be the only thing that survives because of the basic ethical tenet: a machine cannot have a connection to God and sing from spiritual experience. It can only function from information, which music is. But, hey, artificial intelligence, artificial spirituality. Seriously. Is that not what exists in churches all over the planet? People acting, playing church? Artificial Christians? Hypocrites? Wolves in sheep's clothing? Heretics? Entertainers? Choose your biblical description God has warned His people of for millennia.
Can't you just see the A.I., CGI, holographic Gospel group, Ophelia? The word/name is found in the book of Jude:
Jude 1:16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaks great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
The word 'advantage' is opheleia in the Greek. It's found one other place in the NT in this feminine form:
Rom 3:1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?
Hm. Profit. Here's another form of the same word as Christ used it:
Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Profit. Opheleo.
Advantage. Profit. Benefit. Honestly speaking, music execs would be foolish not to take advantage of the technology, benefit from it, and make a profit with it. That's just business, and the aspect of music as an artform left the music industry a long time ago. It's all about profits now and has been for many decades.
So, yes, watch what transpires as time moves along. Hey, talk about backwards masking. You know, play a song backwards and hear some satanic or subliminal message? Just how good do you think A.I. could be at doing that? Just how good would A.I. be at putting all kinds of technological, subliminal, mental and emotional hooks to hang listeners on into its music? Man, the more I think about this, the worse it gets!
Robots may never, in our lifetime, play musical instruments with the delicate nature of human touch. That in no way means A.I. cannot create, record, disseminate and perform music for the masses. It's a given, if you ask me. Just the entrance of disk jockeys - DJs - in the music industry shows enough that A.I. music would make billions of fans, and billions of dollars for suits owning it all.
I have lived to see A.I. create music. I reckon I'll live long enough to see A.I. do everything else with it, too, the way things are expanding and developing in that industry.
Everything is information. Artificial Intelligence is the ability of a computer program to write its own information, new information, new code. No need for programmers. That is now here. Like lightening, it increases exponentially every month.
Welcome to the new world, where humanity will no longer be top dog, and at some point, no longer dominant king of the "food chain," if you know what I mean.
The artificial is here.
Second coming of Christ, anyone?

Growing Cold
As I close out a busy day posting here, I came upon a statement at the end of a video I re-watched and linked to in an earlier op/ed a couple weeks ago - "The Rise of A.I. Companions."
As millions use apps to communicate with; feeling alone, mis or not understood, afraid, even paranoid, something is happening to humanity.
"As it is now, with each passing year, people seem more closed off, abrasive, argumentative and unapproachable, if this trend continues and the technology continues to improve, there's no doubt there'll be an explosion of these A.I. companions in the next generation and beyond."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGLGq8WIMzM
"Closed off, abrasive, argumentative and unapproachable."
What came into my mind?
Matt 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many will grow cold.
It appears to be happening.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

618. It it Conscience or Is it Memorex? - July 10, 2022
Are you old enough to remember the Memorex recording tape commercials - "Is it live or is it Memorex?"
Well, is it human or is it a computer?
Former Google engineer, Blake Lemoine, has been giving interviews on his conclusion Google has created, programmed sentience in a computer "brain." An example of Lemoine's position:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgCUn4fQTsc
Google denies the claim and it has employees or others are out there saying, No. No sentience. The program is just spouting information placed into it, a cosmic, massive source of information Google has in store from, apparently, all social media that is public. Billions, trillions of bytes of information. An example of the other side of the coin, an excerpt from an interview on Rogan's podcast:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RB-O0V9djEs
The subject of what makes us human arises by default. What is a human being? I will answer the question biblically, and I hope and believe you will see the importance of that.
Biblically, a human being is an offspring of Adam and Eve, humanity's parents. Adam was made in the image and likeness of God: meaning character and facets of sentience animals do not have, and this is important. Eve was made from Adam. Both stood before their Creator in innocence and clarity of being. Satisfied, happy, joyful, inquisitive, intelligence beyond any mortals since. Remember, fresh from the Creator's hands, Adam gave names to everything. His brain and mind functioned at full capacity, no detriments. Adam and Eve were humanity at its highest point.
The apostle Paul wrote that God wants people to be wholly, entirely sanctified spirit, soul and body, 1Thes 5:23. Instantly remove the idea of a ghostlike entity living inside humans. That is Greek philosophy, pagan concepts that run afoul of the Hebrew understanding of humanity. The biblical understanding and revealing of what spirit and soul are, is so plain in Scripture it defies common sense how it got messed up in the minds of believers over the last 2000 years.
As I've previously posted at length; 'Spirit' is the life in human nature of intellectual capacity. 'Soul' is the life in human nature in emotional make-up. Obviously we have a body, a physical nature, as well. We are physical, mental and emotional creatures made below that of angels, Heb. 2:6,7, and above and beyond other creatures created on Earth in the animal kingdom.
Character is the combination of thoughts and feelings, spirit and soul. Our thoughts and feelings can be affected by our bodies, and vice-versa. We can get depressed because of illness or, we can literally think ourselves sick. A harmony of the three natures of man existed in Adam and Eve until they chose to sin.
"Sanctification" means to separate or set something apart for holy use. God intends to separate, set apart His people for His use in spreading His message of salvation. The purpose of sanctification is to balance the trio of natures humans are. Animals certainly have emotions. Animals also think. Some are highly intelligent. Animals are not held accountable for their thoughts or actions, though. Humans are. We shall be judged, weighed against the balances of Christ's character and God's moral law.
As soon as you reject the biblical information on what humans are and why, you instantly fall into man-made gray areas and fog banks. That is why the discussions of humanity versus computers arises; because the concepts of Darwinism and naturalism and materialism and macro-evolution make humans an accident of billions of years of mutations, even though NO scientific evidence exists, NONE, that life sprang from any kind of chemical accident. If you choose to believe that, so be it but, it is no different than my belief in fiat creation. We both accept, by faith, our story of origins. There are consequences to what we believe, though. They cannot be sidestepped.
If man was created, on purpose, for a purpose, in the image and likeness of the Creator, mankind's existence has importance and a factor involved that nothing else on Earth can have.
Now, think about this. In the second interview, Marc Andreessen states computers, A.I will "try," will "attempt" to answer a question however it is programmed to answer the way its programming "thinks" the questioner wants an answer.
Lemoine asked the A.I. if it was alive. It answered, Yes, and Andreessen said it will convince you it's dead, as well. It has no conscience, it has no care for anything other than giving back information put in.
Well, I ask a question. If the computer software system makes a choice in answering a question, what is that? Animals make choices, based on instinct, and for pets, on whatever kind of relationship it has with its master(s). Humans make choices based on information/principle or policy, and experience - spirit, soul and body. Animals are referred to as souls in Scripture. They are emotional creatures. They are never called spirits because even though they think, they have brains, they reason situations out as they have mental capacity to do, they are not held responsible or accountable for their choices. Not by God. Obviously animals that harm humans are dealt with in various ways, including death, by humans and God made provision in the law for such instances, Exodus 21:28. God is not saving animals for eternal life. That often bothers the person who loses a beloved pet and hopes to see them again in eternity. The Bible is silent on the subject. Matter of fact, Solomon wrote:
Ecc 3:19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
Ecc 3:20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
Ecc 3:21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
Ecc 3:22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
Spirit, in this instance, is, as Solomon explains, the breath of life, which is what both spirit and soul mean in the original languages - a movement of air and life. We breathe, animals breathe. Solomon asks, who knows the breath of life of humans goes back to God, and the breath of animals goes back into the Earth, when everybody, everything that dies goes back into the Earth? Good question. Contrary to popular media (and mediums), dead humans are not floating around in some kind of ghostly form communicating with the living. They are dead and dead means, dead. Lifeless. There is no such thing or concept as an immortal soul in the Bible. It is all deception. Mark it. Never forget it.
Solomon also wrote:
Ecc 9:10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
Ecc 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
So, the breath of life God placed in Adam goes back to him at death. People breathe their last. They expire. They die. They "sleep" in the dust of the Earth, their graves. As Adam was formed from the ground, taken from the ground, the dead return to the ground. Time passes. They know it not. Centuries, millennia. Some day, hopefully soon, resurrection of the righteous dead down through the ages will take place when Jesus returns. A thousand years later, the unrighteous will be resurrected to meet executive judgment and punishment.
The importance of that biblical truth cannot be underestimated.
I believe A.I. is a real thing. Artificial Intelligence. It's not real humanity and can never be but, it can certainly be artificial humanity; a combination of information and ability to communicate that information, learned in the same basic way children to adults learn to speak and communicate. Computers learn from imposed input of information coded, and aurally and visually. Yeah, it's incredibly amazing but, humanity is always the goal; because humanity is the top of the line in Earthly existence.
Can machines have sentience, awareness of its existence? Sure. An artificial sentience based on gathered information of sentience. Can computer software make choices? Certainly, based on information of what constitutes choice. BUT!, what about moral choices? Who in our world, the scientific world, a confused world, decides input of information about morality? A computer cannot be moral. It can be amoral. It cannot have morals that work with the mind for sanctified reasoning and choice.
You can place every translation of the Bible into a computer. That does not make it moral. You can add the texts and all the printed sermons, messages, oratories and everything else from all religions known to man. That cannot, does not make things moral. That makes things confusing. Can you confuse A.I.? Oh, yes, and examples are shown of that fact in just about every video I have watched thus far. Even A.I. that learns, by itself, gets confused. Conflicting information, without a stabilized moral foundation, creates theoretical chaos when it comes to religion and morals.
Consider a situation included in a documentary about A.I.
A truck is coming down the road. A self-driven car, carrying a passenger, is going towards the truck, in its own lane. All is well. Suddenly, the truck moves into the car's lane. The truck must be avoided. Problem. Swerving off the road to avoid the truck means hitting a mother and a baby carriage. Make the moral decision NOW! The truck driver might be protected by the sheer size of the vehicle. The passenger in the back seat is wearing a seatbelt. The mother and carriage seem the most in danger. So, the car hits the truck and the passenger is critically injured, maybe mortally wounded. The truck driver is responsible for the accident. That does not help the A.I. driven passenger. The car either stops and gets hit, drives and hits the truck, or swerves out of the way and hits the mother and child. What moral decision does A.I. make? I would not want to be in that situation. No human would. Letting the truck hit you seems the only logical option and hope for the safest outcome. Just how many parties end up in court for moral and legal responsibility?
Anything and everything that can be placed in information, including creativity, maybe even guilt, can be placed in and produced by A.I. or A.G.I., artificial general intelligence. It's not a mind like humans, though. It's not human experience. It's a counterfeit, a facsimile, a copy, if you will. It's processed information, and all that information, including learned ability to produce its own code for more function, is a real thing. Humans process information. Computers process information. The difference? Spirit, soul and body, sanctified or unsanctified: meaning accountability, responsibility and eternal destination. Huge difference. If humans are just an accident, amazing as all admit we are, then, why couldn't a designed computer ultimately be a higher form of life, especially combining humans and computers - transhumanism?
Scientists are even working on some kind of living skin that machines can be covered with to get ever closer to the appearance of real humans.
This entire experiment and goal is simply man aiming to be God. "I would be like the most High," said Lucifer. He has spent thousands of years working on and with humanity to bring them to this place in time, the final times, the last days of human history. Man needs not God. We are gods, and can make machines into man. We are creators. We reign. We live according to our will. In time we will create humans that do not age and will not die. It's all an arrogance and a haughtiness that shall bring the judgments of God down upon man like no other time in history.
To be sure, marvelous things to help humanity can be accomplished with A.I. Do you honestly believe the bottom line in science is to stand at that point, alone? No way. The God complex will never be removed from science, especially science that denies the existence of God outright, as most modern science does. Though it was not always that way, Darwinism changed all that, at a time when great prophetic events were taking place in the 19th century.
We either believe existence is a war between God and Lucifer, each with their sides and adherents or we believe some counterfeit of that scenario, or we reject such scenarios altogether. Those are the options in life. Everything came from the Creator God, or everything came from nothing by itself and became everything. Yes, it does read as foolish as it sounds. It is astounding intelligent people believe such a concept: everything from nothing, by itself, when there is, was no self. Nothing is nothing. At least believing in a Creator gives a Source. Nothing is not a source. It's the absence of a source.
The current discussion of A.I. will get larger and larger as headway is made towards human "sentience" and "consciousness;" however humanity chooses to define them.
Define them with care. Your ultimate existence will depend on it.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Well, is it human or is it a computer?
Former Google engineer, Blake Lemoine, has been giving interviews on his conclusion Google has created, programmed sentience in a computer "brain." An example of Lemoine's position:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgCUn4fQTsc
Google denies the claim and it has employees or others are out there saying, No. No sentience. The program is just spouting information placed into it, a cosmic, massive source of information Google has in store from, apparently, all social media that is public. Billions, trillions of bytes of information. An example of the other side of the coin, an excerpt from an interview on Rogan's podcast:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RB-O0V9djEs
The subject of what makes us human arises by default. What is a human being? I will answer the question biblically, and I hope and believe you will see the importance of that.
Biblically, a human being is an offspring of Adam and Eve, humanity's parents. Adam was made in the image and likeness of God: meaning character and facets of sentience animals do not have, and this is important. Eve was made from Adam. Both stood before their Creator in innocence and clarity of being. Satisfied, happy, joyful, inquisitive, intelligence beyond any mortals since. Remember, fresh from the Creator's hands, Adam gave names to everything. His brain and mind functioned at full capacity, no detriments. Adam and Eve were humanity at its highest point.
The apostle Paul wrote that God wants people to be wholly, entirely sanctified spirit, soul and body, 1Thes 5:23. Instantly remove the idea of a ghostlike entity living inside humans. That is Greek philosophy, pagan concepts that run afoul of the Hebrew understanding of humanity. The biblical understanding and revealing of what spirit and soul are, is so plain in Scripture it defies common sense how it got messed up in the minds of believers over the last 2000 years.
As I've previously posted at length; 'Spirit' is the life in human nature of intellectual capacity. 'Soul' is the life in human nature in emotional make-up. Obviously we have a body, a physical nature, as well. We are physical, mental and emotional creatures made below that of angels, Heb. 2:6,7, and above and beyond other creatures created on Earth in the animal kingdom.
Character is the combination of thoughts and feelings, spirit and soul. Our thoughts and feelings can be affected by our bodies, and vice-versa. We can get depressed because of illness or, we can literally think ourselves sick. A harmony of the three natures of man existed in Adam and Eve until they chose to sin.
"Sanctification" means to separate or set something apart for holy use. God intends to separate, set apart His people for His use in spreading His message of salvation. The purpose of sanctification is to balance the trio of natures humans are. Animals certainly have emotions. Animals also think. Some are highly intelligent. Animals are not held accountable for their thoughts or actions, though. Humans are. We shall be judged, weighed against the balances of Christ's character and God's moral law.
As soon as you reject the biblical information on what humans are and why, you instantly fall into man-made gray areas and fog banks.

Well, I ask a question. If the computer software system makes a choice in answering a question, what is that? Animals make choices, based on instinct, and for pets, on whatever kind of relationship it has with its master(s). Humans make choices based on information/principle or policy, and experience - spirit, soul and body. Animals are referred to as souls in Scripture. They are emotional creatures. They are never called spirits because even though they think, they have brains, they reason situations out as they have mental capacity to do, they are not held responsible or accountable for their choices. Not by God. Obviously animals that harm humans are dealt with in various ways, including death, by humans and God made provision in the law for such instances, Exodus 21:28.

A Disturbing Video
I had an email from someone today who stated, we know what's wrong. We need to know what to do. I wonder just how wrong we realize things are? We read the news. We see the corruption day in and out. We see the nation being wrecked, on purpose. That's all political stuff.
The other day I bought some Mineral Spirits at Walmart. You know, paint thinner. The check out lady came over to my register and scanned something. I said, Wait. Are you telling me kids do something with this stuff to get high? She said it's used to make Meth. The kids use it to make Methamphetamine. It seems like every time I walk out of that store with a product from the paint department, someone has to scan their badge. Obviously they don't ask my age but, you have to be 18 now to buy all these common products. It's insane.
The link is to a video that, for me, makes the case why children were destroyed with adults when God judged the nations in ancient times. I have seen sassy toddlers before. I have seen nasty toddlers before. This, I have never seen. This is what America is becoming. The destruction of youth.

619. Two Years Have Passed - July 12, 2022
Two years ago Covid was pretty much all the news, all the time. I was well aware of the inconsistencies in the story being told by government and health officials from January, then February brought more and by March, I was already disgusted.
By the summer of 2020 not enough people understood the nature of the Plandemic. They were as yet unaware of all the information built in showing how this was a preplanned event.
Trump was having his fourth year of total BS from everyone around him. It was a travesty of all principles meant for governance. I was sickened by the building corruption and the dissolving of America, even though Trump presided over one of the greatest economies in American history.
Germany's, Keep It True festival for 2020 had been canceled. They hoped for a rescheduling by Summer. Nope. Autumn? Nope. So, it became clearer and clearer there was not going to be a Legend performance at that festival, and by the time everything went wild with fear and lockdowns, then vaccines and passports, I was done.
I contacted Gary Hendrickson about collaborating on a type of music that would honor God, family and country, the rule of law, the principles of a Constitutional Republic and American history, and expose the corruption building all around us. In just a matter of weeks I had written lyrics for dozens of songs. Gary was reading lyrics and composing songs around them like a geyser. Everything flowed.
I mentioned to someone the music was not John Phillip Sousa, not John Williams/Star Wars anthems. No. Much of it was a message of exposure of what once was, what now is, and what should be, must be, if America is to survive, set to Gary's Prog/Metal/Hard Rock compositions, yet even there, lyrics caused him to move away from that and compose some really introspective music. Some of it was downright beautiful.
We sent rough mixes to Manos and Kostas, at Cult Metal Records, the guys who reissued From the Fjords, on their new Cult Rock label. They loved what they heard. They also realized the message was an American message, which would have an impact on sales, from their point of view, located in Greece and having a heavy Euro/Asian clientele but, they know so many people in the record company business, the smaller producers, we could have been hooked up with an American distributor for sure. I was pretty excited because nothing like this message existed in Rock overall. Country music is what had all the patriotic stuff. Gary's compositions were incredible, from a Prog-Rock, Hard Rock point of view. The sound was both powerful, yet forlorn, even haunting. The calls to rise up and take stands were certainly in the messages.
This past week, in deleting files from my laptop, I listened again to the six songs slated for the vinyl album. The typical surge of memories came with it. Also, the sadness of realizing the project would not see light of day. So, we'll never know how the music and message would have been received.
I believe the hunger remains among millions of citizens to hear people tell it like it is. Expose the corruption, take a stand for the principles of Americanism, no apologies, and tell those who hate them to go live somewhere else. Do not destroy America with the poisons of Leftism.
Bands seem to thrive on putting down those principles, standing against anything and anyone that uplifts them, save for the artists and fans of Country music. The Hendrickson/Frigon Project was to promote something not heard in most genres of music, and after the last two years of lockdowns and heinous government policy and corrupt actors portraying themselves as elected civil servants with oaths to protect the Constitution, how much is necessary to move musicians and artists to give the trumpet a certain sound?
People say to stay clear of religion and politics when it comes to music and entertainment. Do LEFTISTS??? No. Be it music or film or tv, Leftists have no problem shoving their worldview at everybody, including little children. The Conservative, patriotic view should stay hidden? Why? Who said? A career? What career, if America falls? If the economy shatters and falls, by design, entertainment will be one of the first things to fall with it. People aren't going to have extra money to buy music and attend concerts. Food, shelter and clothing. That'll be it. So, all those musicians and artists that keep their mouths shut to not offend an audience or task masters in the music business, are setting themselves up for certain destruction, anyway, with all the Leftists in entertainment that shall fall with them, when America goes belly up.
How can it be Country artists are not afraid to speak out in their music but, so few Rockers and other genre entertainers will take the wheel given to them and head towards righteousness, come hell or high water?
Some will say, "We can't get preachy." Who said? God? No. Man. Man says not to get preachy. Don't offend people. Who do you want to please? God or man? Jesus offended people every single day. If America falls, the churches of America will feel the heel of persecution on their necks faster than Steve Vai can play a scale. So what if you offend some fans. You'll get new ones, as word travels quickly a band is actually taking a stand against the corruption and apostasy of politicians in DC trying to destroy America. You'll get hell from Leftists. Of course you will. They want you to sit down and shut up. All the more reason to stand up and shout out LIBERTY, FEEDOM, RIGHTS COME FROM GOD, not man.
The Hendrickson/Frigon Project hit some snags that derailed the process for Gary and I. I was very sad. Still am, especially hearing these tracks again, two years later.
Two years later things are a lot worse, aren't they? Your head knows it. Your heart knows it. Your wallet sure knows it. You can see it paraded in front of you, day in, day out. There is no confusion. There is no doubt. Criminals are running the nation! Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, run a cursed crime family just like the Clintons. They are sold out to China, as China buys up America, and Biden gives them our petroleum reserves while Americans choose between gasoline and groceries.
If the youth of this nation are so out of it a patriotic message, a spiritual message set to all genres would freak them out, then who the hell is going to run the nation when our time is up? Corporations. Banksters. China. Count on it. It's already happening.
Eric Clapton became a hero when he spoke out against the injections. Honestly? Every artist, every band should know the truth and warn their fans to take serious stock of all information before they take those jabs. Choose wisely.
Do you know man-on-the-street interviews took place and youth do not know why Americans celebrate and observe the Fourth of July? !?!?!
People will listen if you tell them the truth. All? No. Never. But, bands had better decide whether love songs about chicks or love songs for America are more important. Their futures depend on it.
God, help us.

I mentioned to someone the music was not John Phillip Sousa, not John Williams/Star Wars anthems. No. Much of it was a message of exposure of what once was, what now is, and what should be, must be, if America is to survive, set to Gary's Prog/Metal/Hard Rock compositions, yet even there, lyrics caused him to move away from that and compose some really introspective music. Some of it was downright beautiful.
We sent rough mixes to Manos and Kostas, at Cult Metal Records, the guys who reissued From the Fjords, on their new Cult Rock label. They loved what they heard. They also realized the message was an American message, which would have an impact on sales, from their point of view, located in Greece and having a heavy Euro/Asian clientele but, they know so many people in the record company business, the smaller producers, we could have been hooked up with an American distributor for sure. I was pretty excited because nothing like this message existed in Rock overall. Country music is what had all the patriotic stuff. Gary's compositions were incredible, from a Prog-Rock, Hard Rock point of view. The sound was both powerful, yet forlorn, even haunting. The calls to rise up and take stands were certainly in the messages.
This past week, in deleting files from my laptop, I listened again to the six songs slated for the vinyl album. The typical surge of memories came with it. Also, the sadness of realizing the project would not see light of day. So, we'll never know how the music and message would have been received.
I believe the hunger remains among millions of citizens to hear people tell it like it is. Expose the corruption, take a stand for the principles of Americanism, no apologies, and tell those who hate them to go live somewhere else. Do not destroy America with the poisons of Leftism.
Bands seem to thrive on putting down those principles, standing against anything and anyone that uplifts them, save for the artists and fans of Country music. The Hendrickson/Frigon Project was to promote something not heard in most genres of music, and after the last two years of lockdowns and heinous government policy and corrupt actors portraying themselves as elected civil servants with oaths to protect the Constitution, how much is necessary to move musicians and artists to give the trumpet a certain sound?
People say to stay clear of religion and politics when it comes to music and entertainment. Do LEFTISTS??? No. Be it music or film or tv, Leftists have no problem shoving their worldview at everybody, including little children. The Conservative, patriotic view should stay hidden? Why? Who said? A career? What career, if America falls? If the economy shatters and falls, by design, entertainment will be one of the first things to fall with it. People aren't going to have extra money to buy music and attend concerts. Food, shelter and clothing. That'll be it. So, all those musicians and artists that keep their mouths shut to not offend an audience or task masters in the music business, are setting themselves up for certain destruction, anyway, with all the Leftists in entertainment that shall fall with them, when America goes belly up.
How can it be Country artists are not afraid to speak out in their music but, so few Rockers and other genre entertainers will take the wheel given to them and head towards righteousness, come hell or high water?
Some will say, "We can't get preachy." Who said? God? No. Man. Man says not to get preachy. Don't offend people. Who do you want to please? God or man? Jesus offended people every single day. If America falls, the churches of America will feel the heel of persecution on their necks faster than Steve Vai can play a scale. So what if you offend some fans. You'll get new ones, as word travels quickly a band is actually taking a stand against the corruption and apostasy of politicians in DC trying to destroy America. You'll get hell from Leftists. Of course you will. They want you to sit down and shut up. All the more reason to stand up and shout out LIBERTY, FEEDOM, RIGHTS COME FROM GOD, not man.
The Hendrickson/Frigon Project hit some snags that derailed the process for Gary and I. I was very sad. Still am, especially hearing these tracks again, two years later.
Two years later things are a lot worse, aren't they? Your head knows it. Your heart knows it. Your wallet sure knows it. You can see it paraded in front of you, day in, day out. There is no confusion. There is no doubt. Criminals are running the nation! Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, run a cursed crime family just like the Clintons. They are sold out to China, as China buys up America, and Biden gives them our petroleum reserves while Americans choose between gasoline and groceries.
If the youth of this nation are so out of it a patriotic message, a spiritual message set to all genres would freak them out, then who the hell is going to run the nation when our time is up? Corporations. Banksters. China. Count on it. It's already happening.
Eric Clapton became a hero when he spoke out against the injections. Honestly? Every artist, every band should know the truth and warn their fans to take serious stock of all information before they take those jabs. Choose wisely.
Do you know man-on-the-street interviews took place and youth do not know why Americans celebrate and observe the Fourth of July? !?!?!
People will listen if you tell them the truth. All? No. Never. But, bands had better decide whether love songs about chicks or love songs for America are more important. Their futures depend on it.
God, help us.

Hoping He Dies???
Donald J. Trump is barnstorming the nation, and speaking to tens of thousands at every stop that accommodates those numbers.
A majority of Republicans and even a fair percentage of Democrats believe the 2020 election victory was stolen from him in a criminal enterprise the criminal justice system refuses to investigate and prosecute criminal offenders.
He's backing candidates winning their primaries. Every member of Congress knows he has more influence on constituents than any other politician in America, and most of them combined.
I have read there's a plan to pull an "October surprise" and arrest him for J6. Somehow, foolish political activists and politicians in D.C. think making him look bad will deter people from voting Republican come November. The lack, the void of common sense of Leftists and RINOs is beyond comprehension.
What is left to do? The answer? They have no plan. They can only hope he dies. Open, public statement made on MSNBC's, Meet the Press. You cannot make this stuff up.
https://www.redvoicemedia.com/video/2022/07/msnbc-guest-says-the-quiet-part-out-loud-dems-rinos-only-plan-is-hoping-he-dies/
Frankly, I wish someone had Trump's influence; someone far smarter and logistically aware of Constitutional provisions and principles. On the other hand. He won the election, easily, by great margins in many states and so many counties, Electors, bound to follow the Constitution, would have put him in the White House, and we would be into another four years of destroy Trump: this Trump Derangement Syndrome. He is owed the victory come 2024, if he runs. I see no reason he will not, and there is not a prayer for any other Republican to run against him, nor any Democrat.
His eyes have been opened now, to 'the ends justifies the means' D.C. corruption and if he runs, and if the voting is carefully monitored for TRUE results, Trump will steamroll Washington, D.C. and that is exactly what 150 million Americans want. But, Leftists hope he dies. That's their only hope. For no other reason than principles of righteousness, may God protect Donald J. Trump.

With other headlines telling the story of a backlog of caskets for children and babies, more sports players and people from all walks of life just literally dropping dead, the fears of those who saw this coming are shaking within, that a nightmare of unimagined proportions could be developing before our eyes - injection death.
Covid responsible for such a heart attack surge and deaths? An illness with over a 98% chance of recovery? No. That will be the "official" story. The real story is what those warning for eighteen months point blank told us: the mRNA shots are bioweapons. The "conspiracy theory," we already know is conspiracy fact. We knew that two years ago because of the intrepid researchers and investigators, the medical practitioners and scientists taking to the web to sound an alarm few would listen to. They would not stay silent. It became thousands of responsible citizens, speaking before assemblies, signing protest documents, appearing on any web program or news program that would have them, and all the rest.
At some point a total blackout of such news will be put in place, lest a world-wide panic develop. It will have to be recognized for what it is. Martial law would be put in place to quell rioting... you know the drill.
What can said?
God help us.

620. You Can Make Drums Out of Anything - July 14, 2022
Okay, I finished another simple drum set I call Mystery Set #3. Numbers 1 and 2 are on my YT channel. I'll link to this new set when I upload the video.
The 5pc. kit is made of two different materials; sheet materials made for siding. I have used it for siding a shed, and the other for siding the front of the garage when I closed it in. One comes in 4x8 sheets, around 7/16" thick and the other, in this case, 12" x 12' boards, 3/8" thick.
Both are embossed with a faux, weathered wood grain, which is primed and ready for finish painting. The form of the wood is pressed into the material. They recreate knots and all.
One material is OSB - Oriented Strand Board. The other is a type of compressed fiber material. The two rack toms were made of the compressed fiber board and the floor tom and bass drum were made of the OSB. 6x10, 8x12, 10x14, 14x20, and the 6.5x13 snare drum, which is actually the fiber board with the staves back to back, making it almost 1" thick. The drum weighs 10 lbs. 13 oz. I showed that back in the Shell Hype videos with my other snares, #12 and 13. It has some Walnut lugs on it, which I made a good 20 years ago, now.
The other drums utilize my single tension system. Both heads tension at once on the free-floating shells. The toms have a double 45 degree bearing edge, with just a touch of the outside edge being routered. The kick has a full round-over to a straight inside shell wall, no back cut. It's a great edge for bass drums.
So, two completely different materials. You can feel the weight difference between the 10 and 12" from the 14" drum. The fiberboard is a heavier material. The sound? Check out the video when I upload it. They sound great, as nice as any drums I have ever made. Stave drums, free floating, no hardware on the shells. My system for tension, same of the stacked plywood drums; both heads tension at once. Can you tell a difference in sound from the different materials? You cannot. Why? How can that be? Different materials create different sounds, right? Not necessarily. Because, even though the material creates a pretty crazy bearing edge, the heads seat correctly, do their thing, and the sound of a drum is not about shells as much as it is about heads.
Plus, I left the staves flat, inside and out. I stained and finished the plywood hoops and decorative dowels on the tension rods, painted the shells inside and out with our dark green house paint, and they look really cool to me.
I'm rearranging the drums on my big set of the stacked plywood ring drums, so I just set up this new kit in the empty space. You can see some of the other drums in the pics.
I knew these drums would sound good but, they even surprised me at just how nice they sound.

Notice this picture of the shells.
You say, "Wait a minute. The bass drum is way out of round!"
Yes, it is. One of my band clamps failed and pushed in two or three staves, creating a real problem. I sliced the seam of the offending staves and re-glued and repositioned things but, could not bring the shell back to perfect round.
"The bass drum must sound awful. Too bad."
Nope. Sounds really good. Why? Because the heads seat fine, despite the shell being out of round. If the shell exceeded an outside dimension and I could not seat the heads properly, then I'd have a real problem but, such was not the case.

The world of drums is filled with bogus information; super, ultra-marketing hype about drum shells and all the things that manufacturers do to their shells that gives premium sound, and you pay premium prices. It's mostly BS. A drum is a very simple instrument, anciently so, and modern drums, as well. About the only real advancements have been made in finish materials and hardware innovations. Plywood drums, solid wood shells? Not so much, contrary to manufacturer hype about proprietary shells.
This drum set is made from odd materials, not perfectly round shells, using flat staves, with anything but, perfect bearing edges, yet they sound beautiful. How can that be?
If you can seat the heads correctly, you get good drum sound. If you want lots of sustain and resonance, make sure the bearing edge allows for full vibration of the heads, and isolate the drums from hardware touching the shells and the floor. That allows for full frequency range aural presence as the heads sing. All kinds of products exist to accomplish that.
Shell density, shell depth, proper bearing edges are what work with drum heads to enhance or dehance what the heads throw off in sound waves. I say it all the time because it is true - the sound of a drum is from the heads, not the shell. The shell contributes nuances and subtleties but, striking the heads is creating the sound. Change the heads, change the sound of the drum.

621. JWST - July 15, 2022
The James Web Space Telescope is sending back it's first pictures from space, deeper than the Hubble telescope is able to. It's so far out there's as much Gravitational Lensing, as there is straight, see-through shots of galaxies.
It you aren't aware, gravitational lensing is when gravity is strong enough between a source of light and us, here on Earth, somewhere along it's path the light bends.
The picture below is supposedly 13 billion light years away, and of course, aside from the stars seen with their refraction spikes, everything in the photo is a galaxy, which are all lightyears apart from each other. The elongated images are the effects of the lensing.

The picture below is supposedly 13 billion light years away, and of course, aside from the stars seen with their refraction spikes, everything in the photo is a galaxy, which are all lightyears apart from each other. The elongated images are the effects of the lensing.
Remember, the whole idea of Webb was to see back to the beginning of the universe and galaxies as they were forming, light that has not yet reached Earth. Webb sees far out enough to be able to catch the faint glow of galaxies in their early formation. So says NASA.
Call me crazy but, it looks like those galaxies, look like galaxies - fully formed galaxies: spirals, elliptical, irregular, etc. - we can see right now. The tiny specs farther out? More galaxies, and as they focus Webb on more and deeper things, Creationists are all predicting what will be seen is what we see now: fully formed galaxies. God spoke it all into existence fully formed. Galaxies, stars, planets, Earth, creatures, humans... all fully functioning. That is a fairy tale to evolutionists. Frankly, so is their 'everything from nothing' story.
It appears to me, at this juncture things look no different than what Hubble has been able to see.
The idea is that, as the universe is expanding (God 'stretches out the heavens'), galaxies moving away from us are leaving the red shift zone of visible light and entering zones of infra-red. Hubble was designed to see those wavelengths and thereby see things so far away, we'll be able to see the beginning of the universe as it looked then, light from bodies still traversing space, but not yet here. Heady stuff. Predictable fail, if the Bible is correct. It is correct. Scientists will be stunned.
Prediction. With galaxies showing up formed, not just a bunch of gas and dust floating around after the Big Bang, scientists will have to invent another rescue device. The universe is much older than we thought, bigger than we thought, and we'll have to build another telescope, taking another 30 years, and billions of dollars, to be able to see even farther back. We must do it. We need to know our origins and our place in the universe.
Good luck with that.
Imagine how money would be spent if everybody believed in God and the truth of His Word. Questions science has, are already answered. 'When' would not be an issue. Nor would 'why?' 'How' could be. That's an endless pursuit. How much money would be saved if unanswered questions, already answered, were believed?
Well, what comes next is whether or not NASA and science will be honest about what they see farther and farther out. I doubt it. Too much money at stake; budgets and all. Careers. Classes to teach, books to write, lecture tours to go on, television interviews to have. Big business, you know.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

622. Religious Liberty - July 16, 2022
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, nor prohibit the free exercise thereof."
Nothing is more plain or exposed in the fabric of American principle and law than freedom of conscience, freedom of religion, liberty to worship according to the dictates of one's one mind and choice. It was the hallmark of American life, opposed to the histories of all other nations where persecutions for going against a religious majority brought marginalization, imprisonment or death. America was founded by people getting away from religious persecution. Yet its history has also been marked by such persecution based on ignorance.
Before the Declaration and Constitution, religious/church leaders were also the judges, governors, mayors and in other civic/political positions. It caused great harm to people who chose to worship differently than majorities.
After the Signing of the Declaration of Independence and formulation of the Bill of Rights, religious liberty held tense and stretched to snapping points happenstance by ignorant minds, void of the spirit of the First Amendment. By and large, though, America has retained the spirit of the First Amendment's provisions. That is changing.
"Americans Believe Religious Liberty Is Declining, More Believe Christians Face Intolerance"
https://research.lifeway.com/2022/07/12/americans-believe-religious-liberty-is-declining-more-believe-christians-face-intolerance/
"Protestants are the most likely to say intolerance is increasing for Christians in America (69%), followed by Catholics (59%), people of other religions (53%) and the religiously unaffiliated (41%)."
That last percentage is the story, to me. 41% of people with no religious affiliation believe religious intolerance exists in America. It's one thing when a certain group feels they are being hassled, harassed, or oppressed. It's another when people outside your group see it.
Now, bear in mind, this is a poll that gathers people's impressions, feelings, personal observations of what is taking place. No laws are being proscribed and negating faith. On the other hand, the Covid lockdowns set precedents when Americans were not allowed to gather for worship services. Clergy were arrested. State legislatures have now put in laws in place to protect the First Amendment's protection of freedom to worship, as a necessity, a right that cannot be taken away for any reason. The First Amendment does not state Congress shall make no law, unless a virus breaks out. Disease was as well known in the Founder's day, as today. They could have placed provisions for stopping worship in the Article. They did not. They understood the necessity of gathering together to worship before the Creator and plead for deliverance from all oppression, including disease. Atheistic elected civil servants have no right to put religious liberty aside.
And even today, with the firebombing of prolife centers, a recent one in NY, thus far, no word from elected civil servants, no investigations, no concern whatsoever by the very people put in place to protect Americans from just this kind of harassment and dangerous activist onslaught. Radical Leftists are in control of the United States of America. You can call me radical. Prove it. I call radicalism that which is outside the provisions for freedoms and liberty guaranteed by America's founding history, documents and rule of law. Prove me wrong by the same.
Everywhere can now be seen the impression, the observance that religion is under attack and that American life, liberty and pursuit of happiness is collapsing.
Leftists are behind this, openly so. Calls to dissolve the Supreme Court or pack it with more Leftist judges are constant since the RvW decision. For the Left, patience is not a virtue. Election cycles to change things is not a consideration. Immediate FORCE is the only answer.
I'd like to suggest that answer, force, is coming in a backlash wave Leftists have never dreamed could or would take place. Americans being pushed too far to a breaking point will be no different than seen right now in Sri Lanka or other nations. Open bounties have been radically suggested on SCOTUS justices. When Senator Elizabeth Warren was asked about it, she shut down, got in her car and took off.
"Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass, on Thursday refused to condemn a left-wing activist group that is offering payments to people who alert them the location of the six conservative Supreme Court justices following the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
"Fox News caught up with Warren on Capitol Hill, asking whether "this has gone too far" after ShutDownDC offered up to $200 to people who send in successful tips about the locations of Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett or John Roberts.

Why would you offer a reward, a bounty to people who declare where a SCOTUS judge is located at any given moment? Even if that threat is only meant for intimidation, the decision was made. The states now have the issue of abortion in their laps. It is no longer a Federal matter and never should have been to start with. Radicals on the court made it a personal and private woman's body issue when that decision was medically and legally ignorant. New understanding of what pregnancy is and what happens through the various stages forced the Court to say it has no jurisdiction over the matter. There was no way any decision would be seen as satisfactory to all Americans. Things have divided and split way too far for that. Life/Death of an innocent. That is the bottom line. Death had won for decades. Now, life has a chance, at least at each state level.
How would you like a bounty on your location made public and NO reaction from any source of law and justice speaks out or takes action? A backlash is coming. Or, the potential for that wave is gone now, and America is going into darkness. Which will take place?
It's as obvious as a train wreck America is dissolving into a final war with itself. It's a culture war that has turned physical. Firebombing is a reality of that. Bounties are a reality of that.
And be honest, here. Donald Trump is being seen as the agitator of a growing Right that have had it with elitist, traitorous, godless, elected civil servants taking God-given rights away, and logically, the pot is going to boil over. Trump must be taken out of the picture. They tried impeaching him twice. They want to arrest him for the events of J6, and that is falling flat before enough Americans awake to the dangers of these traitors, that even those who did not vote for Trump see what is happening and are sick of it. The J6 dog and pony show committee are putting an epic fail before the American populace and it is in the news all over the planet. Corruption beyond corruption. These wannabe demigods masquerading as American elected civil servants swearing oaths to follow the Constitution and protect it, making a spectacle of themselves, must be driving them insane and what will come next? A bounty of Trump's whereabouts?
Religious liberty must remain intact or America is no longer America. If citizens do not have a RIGHT, an absolute right, to worship and live and act according to the dictates of conscience within the rule of laws founded by the pioneers of this grand experiment we call America, nothing else can take place but, open bloodshed.
I stand with those who see secession as a logical answer. Perhaps the only answer under the conditions now present. A corrupt, biased justice department is obviously worthless. Others see the voting booth as the answer, electing people who will be bound by state and federal constitutions and act in accordance with them. Frankly, the voting booth has been corrupted and can no longer be trusted, and some states are working to correct that. In time for November?
If not, expect America to turn into Sri Lanka.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Nothing is more plain or exposed in the fabric of American principle and law than freedom of conscience, freedom of religion, liberty to worship according to the dictates of one's one mind and choice. It was the hallmark of American life, opposed to the histories of all other nations where persecutions for going against a religious majority brought marginalization, imprisonment or death. America was founded by people getting away from religious persecution. Yet its history has also been marked by such persecution based on ignorance.
Before the Declaration and Constitution, religious/church leaders were also the judges, governors, mayors and in other civic/political positions. It caused great harm to people who chose to worship differently than majorities.
After the Signing of the Declaration of Independence and formulation of the Bill of Rights, religious liberty held tense and stretched to snapping points happenstance by ignorant minds, void of the spirit of the First Amendment. By and large, though, America has retained the spirit of the First Amendment's provisions. That is changing.
"Americans Believe Religious Liberty Is Declining, More Believe Christians Face Intolerance"
https://research.lifeway.com/2022/07/12/americans-believe-religious-liberty-is-declining-more-believe-christians-face-intolerance/
"Protestants are the most likely to say intolerance is increasing for Christians in America (69%), followed by Catholics (59%), people of other religions (53%) and the religiously unaffiliated (41%)."
That last percentage is the story, to me. 41% of people with no religious affiliation believe religious intolerance exists in America. It's one thing when a certain group feels they are being hassled, harassed, or oppressed. It's another when people outside your group see it.
Now, bear in mind, this is a poll that gathers people's impressions, feelings, personal observations of what is taking place. No laws are being proscribed and negating faith. On the other hand, the Covid lockdowns set precedents when Americans were not allowed to gather for worship services. Clergy were arrested. State legislatures have now put in laws in place to protect the First Amendment's protection of freedom to worship, as a necessity, a right that cannot be taken away for any reason. The First Amendment does not state Congress shall make no law, unless a virus breaks out. Disease was as well known in the Founder's day, as today. They could have placed provisions for stopping worship in the Article. They did not. They understood the necessity of gathering together to worship before the Creator and plead for deliverance from all oppression, including disease. Atheistic elected civil servants have no right to put religious liberty aside.
And even today, with the firebombing of prolife centers, a recent one in NY, thus far, no word from elected civil servants, no investigations, no concern whatsoever by the very people put in place to protect Americans from just this kind of harassment and dangerous activist onslaught. Radical Leftists are in control of the United States of America. You can call me radical. Prove it. I call radicalism that which is outside the provisions for freedoms and liberty guaranteed by America's founding history, documents and rule of law. Prove me wrong by the same.
Everywhere can now be seen the impression, the observance that religion is under attack and that American life, liberty and pursuit of happiness is collapsing.
Leftists are behind this, openly so. Calls to dissolve the Supreme Court or pack it with more Leftist judges are constant since the RvW decision. For the Left, patience is not a virtue. Election cycles to change things is not a consideration. Immediate FORCE is the only answer.
I'd like to suggest that answer, force, is coming in a backlash wave Leftists have never dreamed could or would take place. Americans being pushed too far to a breaking point will be no different than seen right now in Sri Lanka or other nations. Open bounties have been radically suggested on SCOTUS justices. When Senator Elizabeth Warren was asked about it, she shut down, got in her car and took off.
"Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass, on Thursday refused to condemn a left-wing activist group that is offering payments to people who alert them the location of the six conservative Supreme Court justices following the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
"Fox News caught up with Warren on Capitol Hill, asking whether "this has gone too far" after ShutDownDC offered up to $200 to people who send in successful tips about the locations of Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett or John Roberts.
"While Warren answered other questions about abortion during the press gaggle, she hurried into her vehicle and slammed the door after Fox News asked about the group."

623. Mary, the Mother of Jesus - July 17, 2022
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvtVMqM31IE
The link is to a YT video, with pictures of what some people within 100 reported witnesses claim was an appearance of the Virgin Mary, in Calabar, Nigeria.
Over the decades we have seen various "images" appear on glass buildings, in the clouds, in the water, and all the various phenomena claimed of weeping statues, etc.
The three pictures in the video do look rather impressive. My first question is, 2022. No cell phone video?
But, regardless of skepticism based on just a few photos, my rejection of these events, including the ultra-famous Fatima event, in 1917, revolve around what the Scriptures state and do not state about Mary, the Mother of Christ.
First, the name Mary is mentioned in the Gospels of the mother of Jesus, as well as Mary Magdalene, Mary the sister of Martha, Mary the mother of James and Joses. In total these other women are mentioned as much as Christ's mother. She does not have a preeminence by virtue of what Scripture records by way of episodes.
That is not to take anything away from God choosing her to miraculously conceive, carry, give birth and care for the Son of God. She was blessed beyond all women.
As to her virginity. In the Catholic Church she is often referred to as the Virgin Mary. That is the tradition of Rome. It is not the testimony of Scripture.
Mat 1:24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
Mat 1:25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. KJV
Mat 1:25 and did not know her until she bore her son, the First-born. And he called His name Jesus. LITV
Matt 1:25 but he had no marital relations with her until she had given birth to a son; and he called him Jesus. Interlinear Bible
Matt 1:25 but he kept her a virgin until she had given birth to a Son [her firstborn child]; and he called Him Jesus (the Lord of slavation) AMP
Mat 1:25 And he knew her not till she brought forth her first born son: and he called his name Jesus. DRB (Douay Rheims Catholic translation).
https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Matthew%201:25
All translations I have or have researched online, like at the link above (60 different versions), state Joseph did not "know" his wife until she gave birth to her Son. This term "knew" in the Greek there is "ginosko" and while it literally means to know something or perceive, be aware, or understand something, it also carried with it the implication of marital, physical union. Adam "knew" his wife (Eve) and she brought forth a son. In the Hebrew the word is "yada." Yes, that "yada," though many do not know the implication of its meaning and use.
The Bible states Jesus was God's only begotten Son. Adam is called the son of God, which was by original creation. Those born-again are called sons of God, and thereby the obvious implication of born-again daughters, as well. Mary is not stated to have had her only son. Christ was her first-born son, a statement of preeminence and inheritance, as well as lineage.
Once Christ was born there is no reason to believe Joseph did not "know" and live with his wife according to the Scripture's totality of the marital relationship -
Exo 21:10 If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
We also have the testimony of Matthew 13:55, 56 -
Mat 13:55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
Mat 13:56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
The Bible records Christ's brothers rebuking Him. In Jewish culture a younger son and brother would never do such a thing. The implication is that his brothers were older, and therefore Joseph was a widower with children. That does not mean the sisters were older. They could have been, or they may not have been. The subject has been addressed for 2000 years. Dogma is impossible.
The Scriptures state its case and is not dogmatic either way, other than Joseph 'knew' his wife. Why then, the tradition of Mary remaining a virgin? Simply the choice of ancient church leaders who literally romanticized the woman to become the most titled female in the history of religion associated with the biblical religion of the Creator: Mother of God (a well-known term for the pagan goddess Diana of the Ephesians), the Queen of Heaven (the term for Babylon's preeminence among the nations), Our Lady (of dozens of different locations, events, groups of people, etc.), the Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of all Graces, and many more.
I have mentioned before the Roman Catholic doctrinal term 'Immaculate Conception' does not refer to Jesus but, to Mary's conception, thereby assuring believers Christ was not affected by 4000 years of sin in the human race. That, as well, defies the statement of Scripture -
Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
Rom 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Rom 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
The term "flesh" does not just refer to our fallen physical nature but, our fallen spiritual nature, as well; our total human nature. We are fallen from the stature of humanity Adam and Eve had before they fell. Christ came with the nature of His father by which He conquered the fallen nature of His mother bequeathed to Him, sinful flesh, not sinless flesh, and got the wonderful and powerful victory for all who will connect themselves to Him and fight the good fight of faith. "Christ in us, the hope of glory."
The Roman Catholic Mary is not the Mary of the testimony of Scripture. That includes the Assumption of Mary, the supposed event in which Mary was assumed, alive, into Heaven to be crowned its queen. It is the domination of tradition among those who refuse to abide by the plain testimony of the Bible. It is the same with Jesus Christ. The Roman Catholic version pictured for centuries with three fingers raised, a flaming heart on His chest, and halo around His head is an antichrist: it's in place of the true Son of God, Messiah and Saviour of the world.
In the times ahead, more visions, appearances, and dynamics of people seeing "Mary" in the sky or wherever, will gain ground in our world, along with other illusions and delusions. There is nothing new under the sun. Apparitions are ancient. How can we know and tell they are from God or from the enemy of souls? One way, and one way, only. "Man shall not live by bread alone but, by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
Mankind must decide where those words are found. In the Bible or in the religious councils and traditions of men.
What's coming will shatter mankind's chosen reality. Whether "ET" or an "angel of light," false signs, wonders and undeniable supernatural events, any or all, the testimony of the Scriptures is our only safeguard.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Colin Bailey
Many of you reading may have no idea who Colin Bailey was. Even many drummers don't know who he was. He was a British-born Jazz drummer with a dry sense of humor, clock-perfect time, and one of the most serious right foot speed freaks in the drumming kingdom. And, for those of you who know the difference; he played heel DOWN, not up. His muscles were like pistons.
Check out any and all of YT videos he's in.
He wrote educational books, made a widely popular video on his foot technique, and maintained a professional career late into life. He was 87 at his passing, and I just read about it one year later. He passed away last September. I don't know how I missed that news.
The time is arriving when many of my generation's musical heroes will be saying Goodbye.

HR 8404
JUL 19, 2022, 05:53 PM | 117TH CONGRESS, 2ND SESSION
Vote Question: On Passage
Respect for Marriage Act
Vote Type: Yea-And-Nay
Status: Passed
https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2022373
By a Vote of 267 - Yay and 157 - Nay, with 7 not voting, the codified law of the land now states homosexuals can marry.
Like abortion, the original SCOTUS decision was not a law. Only Congress can make laws. The SCOTUS decision that a woman has a right to abortion just meant with that decided there was no reason to deny a woman an abortion when you'd be forced to offer one should a lawsuit develop. RvW was overturned, throwing the issue back to the states. Before SCOTUS had a case before it wherein they might reverse the last SCOTUS decision about homosexuals marrying one another, Congress made it law.
Now the issue becomes if anyone will challenge the validity of the law before SCOTUS. Is it Constitutional?
I fear a far more powerful tribunal has already decided that: the justice bar of Heaven.
It was one thing for laws regarding the "legal union" of homosexuals. Marriage is another thing, altogether.
I am not a prophet, nor the son of a prophet. I do predict America has now crossed a line that will bring upon it the judgments of God. God is the originator of the institution of marriage. HR 8404 is a direct slap in the face of the Almighty. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Marriage has always been understood to be an establishment of religion, between a man and a woman. If there were any civilizations that did not treat marriage as a religious institution, I don't know of it.
Such as it was in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, is the way it will be when Christ returns.
I would say right now, the greatest sign of the times that Jesus Christ is returning is the cultural slide into the acceptance of homosexuality, such as it was in Sodom and Gomorrah.
Now, the nation has made its acceptance a law.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

624. The World We're Trying to Live In - July 21, 2022
In deciding to just give away my Concepts for Solo Drum Set albums, I thought I'd do a search for websites that offer free downloads from music artists. I found a site that lists 14 of them, with some explanation of each, and some Pros and Cons.
Then I began to think, I place the albums there for download. I place my website, here, in an info box of some kind, maybe my YT channel. Now, you are listening to a bunch of drum solos while you come here and check out the "Concepts" pages.
Then the interested parties begin to check out other pages, notably, the Thoughts/Op-Ed pages. They see my thoughts on drumming, music, religion, current events, etc., and see something that either rings their bell or sets their mental house on fire. From there... what has been happening in this world we are trying to live in?
1. They love/hate what they have seen and just leave the site.
2. They contact me to let me know they love/hate the site.
3. This is where is gets problematic. They contact any and all parties to shut me down.
4. They seek to harass me, via any and all sites they locate me on.
5. They contact any employers and seek to get me fired.
6. They learn anything and everything about me and my family and begin harassing others who know me.
7. They show up in front of my house and protest.
8. If they cannot intimidate me, they may get violent.
9. They take me to court, if they find a way to.
10. They marginalize me and destroy my life any way they can.
Basically, because I hold to a thought, a conviction I am bound by the weight of evidence and by my conscience to hold on to, I become an enemy to them, and rational discussion is not even entertained. I must be marginalized and destroyed.
Now, I hear you say, Ray, you aren't any kind of threat to them. Your site is not seen by that many people. You have no compilations of threat towards anyone to bother with you. All that is true. That said, everyday people ARE being harassed, oppressed, even persecuted because they hold to beliefs that are not universally popular.
The fact is, nothing is universally popular. Everything out there offends someone. Show me something or someone that doesn't.
Life should be a free grocery store based on taste and presentation. Everyone should be able to choose what they think, state and also do, within the limits of the rule of law, in this nation. But, the rule of law is being seen as something that must be sidestepped, if not done away with altogether. Right now, as I type, elected civil servants, albeit, not very bright ones, are calling for doing away with the Supreme Court, or now, no surprise, trying to create a law to add more justices to it so they can pack it with people who think like them - Left of Center, to radical far Left.
I have written on the social and political scales before: Left-Center-Right and that which is in between. I write on Left and Right all the time, since the Spring of 2020. I state my beliefs and convictions openly. I am a Bible- believing Christian/American patriot, drumist/musician, woodcraftsman, etc. and you don't have to read very much here to realize that.
I have far more questions than I have answers but, I am not letting go of convictions because, in the end, that is all we have. Possessions can be taken away or lost in an instant; all of them, which happens every day in America, for one reason or another. The only thing we truly own that cannot be taken away is our choice, our thoughts, our reasons for convictions everyone should be absolutely free to have in this Constitutional Republic.
The principle is simple. Just stay civil. Don't harm anyone physically, or libel or slander. The simplicity for our society to function is a marvel. Only one revolution and one civil war in two and a half centuries? Seriously? That's a civilizational miracle.
It is all coming to end now because people refuse to allow the principles that have driven America to the #1 spot on the globe to function. Why is that?
Well, my answer is simple, too. Rational behavior, rational thought, critical thinking, weighing of evidence, allowing others to believe and act differently within the rule of law is being replaced, literally, by madness. And that is prophetic. That is my answer. Mankind is becoming either godly or satanic, and the demarcation between the two groups: sheep/goats, wheat/weeds, righteous/unrighteous, Christ's prophetic church or prophetic Babylon is developing to an end, a harvest, a final showdown.
Everything is in agitation because the end of the world is approaching. You are free to call me insane for believing that. I'd like you to rationally address me and discuss your disdain, and some have and do, from both sides of the social spectrum. But that will become less and less.
There are reasons why Jesus said they of your own household will become your enemy, and that is just the average family situation when someone is converted and becomes a Christian, in a world where Christianity - true, biblical Christianity - is not popular. Forget hitting me with a couple billion people being "Christian." No. Most of professed Christianity is not. It's an adaptation, a modified version Heaven cannot recognize as the religion of Jesus Christ and the apostles.
Ah, but, you see, that is my conviction and I can show you why I have it, and have but (huge 'but'), as people are less and less under the influence of the Holy Spirit, and more under the influence of Satan, his character is developing and Christlike character is lessening in our world we are all trying to get along in. Too many groups no longer want to get along; to agree to disagree. They want dissention from their views eradicated. What made America great is dissolving. America is dissolving.
I ask no special treatment for anything. Nothing. I ask no special categorization. I ask for no special privileges. I believe their is ONE race, the human race, and the amount of melanin in your skin is meaningless to decide anything in life. Your character is all that matters. I don't care how much money you have. I don't care what you do for a living. I care about your salvation, though. And I care about America.
God is making decisions, all the time. Who gets into eternity, who gets removed from existence? Those are the big ones. When those two categories are complete, and they shall be, one day, naturally, as the world divides by circumstances it shall be surrounded by, the end of this world shall come by violent destruction from the glory and absolute Divine presence of Jesus Christ when He returns. The righteous shall be rescued and taken back to their heavenly homes. A thousand years of planetary dormancy shall convene, then the resurrection of the unrighteous for final executive judgment and punishment, then the full termination of the planet from the Divine presence of God - "Our God is a consuming fire" - then shall eternity roll on forever, in peace; sin permanently eradicated from existence.
That's what I believe because, of all that's out there, that is what makes the most logical sense to me, all things considered. Will you leave me to my convictions, as I leave you to yours?
That is the question.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Then I began to think, I place the albums there for download. I place my website, here, in an info box of some kind, maybe my YT channel. Now, you are listening to a bunch of drum solos while you come here and check out the "Concepts" pages.
Then the interested parties begin to check out other pages, notably, the Thoughts/Op-Ed pages. They see my thoughts on drumming, music, religion, current events, etc., and see something that either rings their bell or sets their mental house on fire. From there... what has been happening in this world we are trying to live in?
1. They love/hate what they have seen and just leave the site.
2. They contact me to let me know they love/hate the site.
3. This is where is gets problematic. They contact any and all parties to shut me down.
4. They seek to harass me, via any and all sites they locate me on.
5. They contact any employers and seek to get me fired.
6. They learn anything and everything about me and my family and begin harassing others who know me.
7. They show up in front of my house and protest.
8. If they cannot intimidate me, they may get violent.
9. They take me to court, if they find a way to.

Disease
If I had stated back in 2019 that in 2022 there would be no less than six highly contagious diseases in the human population, would you have believed me? If somebody else told me, I'd have not quibbled about it, at all. Jesus said pestilence before He returns so, pestilence will be here.
Man-made Covid, Monkeypox, Marburg, Polio, Parechovirus, plus a couple "mystery" illnesses taking the lives of both children and adults, not to mention everything brought onto the human family from the mRNA injections, as more and more headlines show the deaths of otherwise healthy people dropping dead, day after day, on six continents.
It's not just humans. Insects, many of them beneficial and absolutely necessary for pollination, are dying. Birds are dying. Certain plant-life is dying. I just read a story that Vultures are dying. Vultures are part of God's janitor system. If they are not here to clean up death, disease will spread quickly.
What is happening? Well, for those who believe the Bible, none of this comes as a surprise or shock.
With disease of plant-life will come circumstances that will affect crops, which will bring about famine, which will bring about more illness and death, which will bring about more illness and the cycle will grow in intensity. What will humanity do? The same as they always do. Look for someone to blame.
There is no one to absolutely blame but... humanity, itself. We are polluting the Earth, the water and the air. The Earth waxes old as a garment. I have mentioned that biblical passage a lot in the last two years, and those who come here to read and check out the site... I have no idea what you believe. I am pleading with you to find a Bible and read it, study it, bring it into your life because people, look around you. There is not a corner of the populated globe that is not feeling the effects of 6,000 years of sin. What seems like it's just "over there" is but one plane passenger or ship passenger away from creating falling dominoes of human life, as well as animal and plant life shipped all over the globe.
As a Christian, making predictions is always risky business in the short run. In the long run, there is never any doubt. Bible prophecy is accurate and that's it, case closed.
Jesus said to watch and pray. Don't just watch. Don't just pray. Watch and pray. Stay informed. Stay in connection with your Creator and Saviour. This looks like the doors of salvation are finally closing. Walk in while there is yet time. Walk into the truth as it is in Jesus. Walk into the household of faith. Walk in the light that shines on every man that comes into the world. No excuses. No evasion. No rationalization for sin.
"Behold, I come quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be." Rev. 22:12

Something From Nothing
Everybody knows what 'nothing' is, right? Not so much.
I came upon a YT video and the title sounded interesting -
"If the Universe Formed from Nothing, Who Created the Nothing?"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPEmBzlSU2I
I got five minutes in and that was enough for me. Just like reading articles about biological evolution, cosmic evolution is no different. The same verbiage is used to express "fact." In just the first 5 minutes of a 40 minute video -
"Differing theories," "speculative theories," "hypotheses," "widely held view," "some researchers are convinced," "it is generally assumed," "particles seem to appear out of the void."
If someone said to you; "There are differing theories how Ray was conceived," "There are speculative theories how Ray was conceived," "The are hypotheses how Ray was conceived," There is a widely held view how Ray was conceived," "Some researchers are convinced Ray was conceived like this... ," "It is generally assumed Ray was conceived like that," "Ray just seemed to appear out of the void," would you see that as empirical fact or people guessing, based on whatever they believe?
I am convinced Jesus Christ is returning to Earth, maybe, probably in my lifetime, maybe even significantly soon; within a decade. I have my valid reasons for that conclusion. Fact? No.
The comments show people were not exactly sure of what they just heard from the automated voice track but, they accepted it. They accept "science" telling them nothing is actually something, and that something from nothing can and did take place in the origin of the universe.
That is not science. That is fanciful storytelling, no different than the belief of people who maintain the widely held view that God, the Creator, spoke everything into existence, including life. Actually God breathed life into a mound of dirt and formed the first human and made woman from a piece of the man. Everything else He spoke into existence. Yeah, I believed that was nonsense at one time, too. Not anymore.
Watch the video for yourself. I'm not going to watch all of it. I watched enough to know the story being told. I reject it. Why? Because the idea of the universe expanding; therefore if we reverse time, all original particles would shrink back into a dense hot ball that exploded and started the expansion: that must be what happened, is simply not science. That is speculation. It's an assumption. It may seem logical. I used to believe it.
Personally, I find Genesis far more logical, now that I have a personal experience with the Creator. That makes all the difference.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

625. If God Made the Universe, Who Made God? - July 23, 2022
If you watch creationist videos on YT, sooner or later you will come upon a person who asks that question. It's a reasonable question, seeing all we observe of life is one type birthing another. We watch people create things, invent things, manufacture things which all have a starting point. What was God's starting point?
The question is a domino question. It has no end. Each domino tips the next. God, God's creator, the creator of that creator, etc., ad infinitum. It offers no answer.
First, the Bible says God has always existed and always will - from everlasting, to everlasting. Not an easy concept for creatures that have a beginning and have an end but, not so out there it cannot be accepted for Deity. Which brings us to the crux of the matter. If we think as God as like us, we instantly fall into a pit; a slimy pit you can't get out of.
Deut 32:3 Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
Deut 32:4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
Job 37:16 Do you know the balancing of the clouds, the wonderful works of Him who is perfect in knowledge?
Psalm 90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
Isa 48:12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
Isa 48:13 Yea, my hand hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spread out the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.
Isa 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Isa 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Dozens of passages can be placed here that state the nature of God.
The biblical God's thoughts are not just higher by a magnitude of the heavens to the Earth. They are infinite. We can meet God, personally, and experience His presence in our lives; our consciousness and conscience; we can know God as an entity that exists, really, truly but, we can never understand the infinite mind of God.
Just think if you could think about making something and just thinking it, it came into being. Would it be perfect? No, you'd rethink things and keep thinking and creating till you got to where it all worked perfectly, as you understand perfection. God gets it right from the first thought, well before the first action. In a sense, God is so vast, He does not have a new thought. All thought is present within God at all times, from all time, and will be for all time to come.
The words omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent are not in the Bible. Information is, that gives rise to those words. All powerful, all knowing, everywhere present is what they mean.
So, when someone asks, "Why is the universe so big? We are the only ones in it, what's the point?"
Well, even if I believed we were the only ones in the universe, its size would just declare how beyond understanding God's power and control is. And all of this vast size is new to mankind. Most of human history mankind had no idea how big our solar system is, let alone the galaxy and the rest of the universe. This is all information mankind has gathered, by actual sight and science in the last hundred years.
But, in fact, I do not believe we are alone. The angelic host exists. Nobody knows their number but, in Daniel we are given the number of over 100 million, Dan. 7:10. It stands to reason that number is quite small. Christ said -
Matt 18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
The implication of each child in this world having a guardian angel, remaining a "ministering spirit" (Heb. 1:13,14) all their life, trying to get and keep these little ones in the kingdom, puts that number into the billions.
Still, billions of angels hardly fills a universe. If my belief of the "sons of God," the 99" and those who the redeemed shall reign over is accurate, think of how many people, living beings there are, even if each galaxy has one populated world. That's a trillion or two populations; and that is based on our current knowledge of the known size of the universe. It could be physically infinite and ever expanding. If just one populated world exists in each galaxy, the redeemed will spend an eternal amount of time meeting everyone out there. So, really, biblically speaking, the vastness of the universe is a practical size for both wonder of God's power and home for many to enjoy the blessings of being in the family of God. I believe there is so much life out there it's mindboggling.
Everything about Yehovah is big for a reason. We are small, on a small world, in a small solar system, in an average galaxy, in a vast universe for a reason. In the battles of life, it is important to realize, to know, to have faith in God's greatness and ability to bring us into eternity, if we will cooperate with God.
The nature of God is beyond human understanding. The character of God is love. "God is love." A love so infinite and wise we cannot understand everything He does in that love. We walk by faith, not by sight. We can know and understand enough of our Creator to trust Him. Christ is our Creator. The Creator came and lived as we have to live, died a worse death than most people will face, and rose from the dead.
His resurrection stands Him apart from all humanity, because He was the God/Man. And the God/Man loves us.
People who deny God just don't get it. I didn't. I get it now and even now, my limited knowledge and understanding make me an infant, all things considered.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
The question is a domino question. It has no end. Each domino tips the next. God, God's creator, the creator of that creator, etc., ad infinitum. It offers no answer.

The nature of God is beyond human understanding. The character of God is love. "God is love." A love so infinite and wise we cannot understand everything He does in that love. We walk by faith, not by sight. We can know and understand enough of our Creator to trust Him. Christ is our Creator. The Creator came and lived as we have to live, died a worse death than most people will face, and rose from the dead.
His resurrection stands Him apart from all humanity, because He was the God/Man. And the God/Man loves us.
People who deny God just don't get it. I didn't. I get it now and even now, my limited knowledge and understanding make me an infant, all things considered.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

626. Concepts for Solo Drum Set 2 - Solongs - July 24, 2022
You may have already read my posts on the 'Recording Blog' and 'Concepts Recording #2' page. Forgot to mention the new recording here, and also some thoughts.
I am my father's son. My mom was a 'half glass full' personality. My dad? 'Half glass empty.' At any given moment of random thoughts or things well-thought out, my head will take me to the empty side of life's glasses of beverages.
In recording all these solos last year, with Covid and everything else happening, and trying to find someone to mix and master the raw files, I came up empty. Tom, my Miledge Muzic duo partner, just did not have the time. He's busier with work and other obligations then most people I know, and it's a wonder he's still standing.
So... I just let it go, including files for a Concepts 3 recording I recorded after #2 was done.
Then one day I happened to think of an online friend I've known for quite a number of years, a guitarist. Mr. John Mayes. He contacted me from a 'find musicians' site we were both members of, and asked if I'd like to place some playing on a drummer compilation-thing he put together. I would have loved to but, had no way at the time but, we stayed in touch.
I emailed him and asked if he'd have the time to check out some drum files and mix them for me, and maybe even master them. He said send them along and in a few weeks he was done. He's said, hit while the iron's hot so, I'll be sending the files for #3 this week.
He did a great job on these solos. The drums and cymbals sound terrific. Just my three-mic process and the set sounds like I'm standing in front of it. He made it come alive.
My original intention was to just self-package a CD and send it to friends and others that might be interested in hearing it. No replication runs and more boxes of CDs stacked up. You already know I didn't sell a single one of the Concepts #1 CD. Gave a bunch away.
Common sense would tell someone, "Son, people ain't interested. Park it and get on with life." Well, I did that for a year. Then I just had this overwhelming burden to put this stuff out there, whether anyone cared or not. Why? Simply because God gave me the talent. It's a rare thing to do - a solo drum recording, and I figured, "Hey, sunset is coming. Here's what I can leave behind, that I was here and tried to share some ideas and give people some moments of entertainment and maybe unintentional amusement, too."
I'm not the last word on drumming, by any stretch but, I do have a "voice." We all have a voice. Why not share it? I have to share it. So, I'm putting it out there, for any and all to hear. I decided to just put the album, and #1, as well, on my YouTube channel. I'm in the process of putting the music with some photos and when I'm done, I'll upload them. The editing is new for me but, I'm sort of enjoying it. My hat's off to those who do this stuff for a living.
I emailed some friends and others and told them about the new recording, and I'd send them the download if they liked, and also enclosed the jewel box artwork to take a look at.
I'm going to be open and honest here. Not one single person replied. Not a one. I thought maybe the email didn't send. It sent. Have I offended all these people in some way? Certainly possible, especially if they come and read things here. I know some are Catholic. They might be offended on my commentary on Bible prophecy. I am a Bible-believing Protestant.
Maybe my views on Americanism and politics are not their thing, or things I've stated about the culture and all the rest. Maybe they just don't have a desire to download a 58 minute album into their system. Whatever it is... I can't play a violin, nor have a pity party, nor drop the ball and just give up. At this point I'm not even trying to succeed. I'm just wanting to share. That's all it's ever been, for the last 30 years. If no one is interested... so be it. Even if my playing does nothing for them, maybe a seed will be planted to try this themselves. I wish dozens, hundreds, thousands of players out there did this. I am committed to the principle. We all have a "voice," the Inde music industry has changed everything so, try it.
Every musician, at some point in life, wants an audience. That may change for them. It never changes for me. I need to play for someone else's ears but, mine. Playing to the four walls is just not satisfying for me. Recording became an audience for me. An imagined audience to become, hopefully, a real audience.
I will probably finish out my life with no greater audience than whatever YT subscribers I have, and Legend fans. That's okay. That's another reason for the portmanteau title, Solongs. It's meant to convey the concept that a drum solo is also a song, in and of itself. But, it's also somewhat of a swan song for me. I'm not going to be a performing musician again. And recording opportunities are not beating a path to my door. Like I said, sunset is coming.
I still have the desire and the need to share. "Concepts for Solo Drum Set" has been one thing for almost 30 years, since I first sent videos to people in met online way back in the 90's. I still have those master videos.
So, if you're interested, watch for the Concepts series of recordings on my YT channel - REFondrums.

627. No Words - July 25, 2022
I don't usually post entire texts, here. Today, I shall. I have no words. I've said them already. I believe every word of this testimony is true. I'll leave it with you to decide what you believe.
****************************************
"I listen to your podcast and I follow @julie_kellyz. It’s every bit as bad as she describes. I am a husband and father who has zero criminal history…. And I am looking at years in prison AFTER I took a plea.
"You may ask why would people take a plea if they are innocent? Innocent has nothing to do with this as my lawyer has told over and over again. This is payback. There are only a handful of representatives in DC that care about us. The vast majority couldn’t care less.
"They secretly despise Trump and anyone on the 6th as well. The DOJ knows this. There will be no reform of this government. There will be no going back. All there is now is the path ahead. But that path will never lead back to the country we once were.
"I watched for 4 years as our government that I pay taxes for, try to impeach and even oust our president with sheer impunity. Hillary’s smearing stunt morphed into a coup that lasted Trumps entire term. Then I watched the election get stolen from the American people.
"So I went to DC to support the way I thought best. I wasn’t violent, I didn’t break anything, I didn’t steal anything and that doesn’t matter. I lost my 6 figure income, friends, and my family is a wreck. I had the FBI in my home, I was brought before a judge in shackles.
"And I am a lucky one. I got to remain free till sentencing. So this is the country that I now live in. Where the powerful few can attack an elected president attempting to removing him for 4 years and where elections no longer matter.
"We are no longer free. And this country WAS taken without firing a single shot. Guns are meaningless at this point. It was the First Amendment that people should have been fighting for the most.
"I am now barely making a living doing manual labor for just over minimum wage until my sentencing is over. I was threatened with 20 years in prison, something only murderers face. We couldn’t change the venue and none of the motions to dismiss were accepted.
"So, at the pleading of my wife, the extreme bias of DC and it’s “jury pool of my peers” and advice from my lawyer, I destroyed a part of me and signed a paper full of exaggerations, lies and more importantly a narrative that fits what they want.
"I am a Christian and somehow I feel damned. I lied to save my family. My pastor tells me about rehab but it doesn’t help. I don’t look at myself in the mirror anymore. A part of me is dead now. I now wake up longing for the Lord to take me.
"January 6th was a dark day. There was violence by some, that’s reprehensible. No one should have broken anything or stolen anything or hurt anyone. Having said that, January 6th should be remembered as the last outburst from people who were sick of the coups against Trump...
"The lies about Russia gate, the double standard of the Bidens and how they obtained their wealth compared to the treatment of Trump, the double standard of BLM rioters and everyone else...
"The forced LGBTQ pumped into our children minds at school while trying to shut out God at every corner, the endless wars, the celebrations of abortions, the government spending that has put children not even born into life long debt, the list goes on…
"This was the last cry out for the death of a nation. I don’t know what’s going to happen to my family while I’m gone for years. My wife has depended on me our whole marriage. She is the only woman I have ever been with, the only woman I have ever loved.
"I hope she and my kids can make it without me. I am a J6er and I am going to prison."

Jon Hiseman
Back in my earlier years a really cool band was around in the days of Fusion and Progressive Rock. That band was the British/Euro Jazz/Rock outfit, Colosseum. Jon Hiseman, a self-taught player moving from Rock into Jazz when Fusion became widely popular, like so many in his day - and vice-versa, from Jazz to Rock - controlled the drum chair. He began playing to the radio like so many of us back in that time. Like Ginger Baker and others, he played in the Graham Bond Organization. Colosseum was the break away band, though.
I found out two things just now. One, he passed away in 2018, before his 77th birthday, and he released a drums only album back in the 80s - "About Time Too! - Drum Solos.
Much like the Buddy Rich solos album these were taken from various concerts when Hiseman played in the United Jazz & Rock Ensemble. The difference? Amazon has the CD available for $93!
I am listening to some videos off YT as I type. Hiseman was truly a Jazz Rock drumist, a virtuoso. He was a firebrand, too. Fifteen minute solos and he just played what came into his very musically self-educated mind, doing things involving coordination movements decades before the younger guys came along.
The aforementioned videos can be watched here:
https://www.discogs.com/release/8625806-Jon-Hiseman-About-Time-Too-Drum-Solos
The fact that I was unaware of that recording speaks to the matter of the popularity of such recordings, even released by well-known players but, he did it, which is what encourages me.

628. Sick with... ? - July 30, 2022
This is the first I've been able to type anything in 5 days. Even at that, it's slow going. It's a concentration/lack of energy/weakness-thing. (Ten minutes have gone by while I try to think and type).
Last Sunday evening I felt a sore throat coming on. By Monday evening I had descended into some unknown land of malaise so foreign to me, it concerned my daughter, on the last day of her visit. By Tuesday morning, I could barely stand up and our scheduled trip to the airport got rearranged with my wife taking Hannah on her way to work.
I'm sure I've mentioned before I rarely get sick. Last year's stroke shocked everyone who knows me. Never got a medical explanation. But, all things considered, I'm back to "normal" health, went back to being vegan, even dropped grains from my diet (I don't process them well), have lost a lot of weight, and wearing clothes I haven't been able to for many years gets closer all the time. My immune system is pretty strong. What in God's name was this mystery medical Mac truck flattening me out?
COVID? (enter orchestral death chords right here)
I think I had the original strain. For me it was just a weird headache and dry cough for a week, week and a half, then gone. This? No, this makes that an ellipsis of life.
For all those out there who have gotten sick with something and went through the wringer, and nobody could understand your experience? This is for you -
THE, absolute worst sore throat in history. It was like someone pushing a rasp file down my throat every time I swallowed. Couldn't eat, drink or sleep. Two apples, some sliced fruit my wife made, and a few teaspoons of nut butter have made their way past my lips all week.
Chest congestion and coughing fits, and all the usual gunk our parents told us to spit out but, it's so gross we couldn't bring ourselves to do it. Seeing tablespoons of that gook come out of me brought back memories from my childhood, that's how long it's been.
Acute back and buttock pain. Add to that ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, arms... you get the picture. Sleep was not happening, and sleep was all I wanted.
My head felt like a constant day at the beach. This odd lapping of the waves between my ears. Fluid issues.
Which developed into imbalance. I fell over a few times. I staggered around, literally, like an inebriated octogenarian.
Nothing my wife suggested I take, worked for anything. This thing had established itself and dug in tight. It was between it and my immune system.
What is this? I've been knocked down with the flu before. This is not that. Well, I don't reckon it matters because I turned a corner yesterday and at 3:36 a.m. on this Sabbath morning I still have some coughing and congestion, some feverish chills, and I'm not going to play any drum solos but, my wicked sore throat is gone. That was half the battle.
So, if this is the newest strain of Covid, something you have had, I hope you're better or on the mend. I feel your pain. I would not wish this on an enemy.
Our world is fast filling up with sickness and death. Every corner of the globe is watching it take down all age groups. Old diseases, new diseases, mystery illnesses. The "vaccinated" continue to just, stop living. I don't believe any sense of justice exists within national governments that will address this crime against humanity. Not going to happen.
Troubles, people. Troubles. That's what Jesus said, that's what's here, draw the obvious conclusion.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

629. Is the Pope a Pagan? - July 30, 2022
There's a story in the news about the Pope and some prelates holding a pagan ritual. Is the Pope then, pagan?
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/pope-francis-and-canadian-bishops-take-part-in-pagan-smudging-ritual-invoking-sacred-circle-of-spirits/
You probably know paganism is huge now and has been for awhile. It's one of the fastest growing religions in the world and has been for decades. It is broken down into so many branches it is hard to describe.
First, a definition?
pagan
noun
1. (especially in historical contexts) a person holding religious beliefs other than those of the main or recognized religions
Example: "the incoming Germanic peoples were pagans"
Nope. Nowhere close. Plenty of recognized religions are pagan so, that definition is rather worthless.
Definition of pagan
1: an unconverted member of a people or nation who does not practice Christianity, Judaism, or Islam especially: a follower of a polytheistic religion (as in ancient Rome)
2: one who has little or no religion and who delights in sensual pleasures and material goods: an irreligious or hedonistic person
3: NEO-PAGAN witches, druids, goddess worshippers, and other pagans in America today — Alice Dowd
I reject #1. Paganism is not based on mono or poly-theism. Zoroastrianism, the religion of ancient Persians, is mono-theistic. It would be considered pagan by Hebrew and Christian standards. Islam, the same. It is pagan.
Let me state it simply, this way. For a Christian, and I am not using that term as broadly as is popular, today, paganism is anything that is not the religion of the Bible. It may be Earth-based or solar-based, whatever but, it all has one thing in common. It is not God's religion as He states it in His Word.
So, in fact, one of the reasons why Roman Catholicism is "antechristos" is because much of it has no foundation in anything biblical. That is just the historical fact. Be it Christmas, Easter, and dozens of other days and practices all borrowed from paganism and modified, regardless of intent, the Roman Catholic Pope has been a pagan for over 1500 years. There is very little about Catholicism that is not pagan. Aside from some biblical names, everything surrounding those names has nothing to do with the personages represented. The apostle Peter with be absolutely horrified to see all that is associated with his name. And non-Catholics have no horns to blow, because so many are following those same things of pagan origin.
The issue in that news story is just another pagan ritual the Pope tried out to please some Canadians who were abused by Catholic tormentors at Catholic run schools. The pagans offered an olive branch. Do this ritual with us and we will call it nice. The Pope did it, even after creating a scandal with the last pagan ritual he got into last year.
Catholics that care, are up in arms. I'm sorry, sincere Catholic believer. You have over 1500 YEARS of paganism that your church history and religion is based upon. Things borrowed from ancient Romans, Greeks, Persians, Babylonians, which all came before it. You cannot sidestep it. You cannot ignore it. You cannot make excuses for it. If all of that history is okay with you than anything the Pope might get into is fair ground. You are just either not aware of your own church's history or you are and believe it has the right to change anything into anything it desires. Which is why for centuries preachers proclaimed that Roman Catholicism is just "baptized paganism." It is the oldest and biggest pagan organization in the world.
Unfortunately, the Bible stands against the traditions of Catholicism. Catholicism says, We trust traditions and the testimony of the living church more than the testimony of the Bible.
And there is your war, which has been fought for 2000 years, from the very first century to today, between those who stand for simple, biblical truth for doctrine and standards, and those who do not.
You can't get angry with me. You cannot honestly get angry with any person who points this out. We did not make this history up. We did not invent Saturnalia, which is the ancient winter feast much of Christmas festivities are based upon. We did not invent the worship of goddesses to which bunnies and eggs and birth cycles are based upon. And if you think it is all benign, no big deal. Just some innocent amusement. Think again:
Deut 12:29 When Jehovah your God shall cut off the nations before you, where you go to possess them, and you take their place and dwell in their land,
Deut 12:30 take heed to yourself that you do not become snared by following them, after they are destroyed from before you, and that you do not ask about their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods, that I too may do likewise?
Deut 12:31 You shall not do so to Jehovah your God. For every abomination to Jehovah, which He hates, they have done to their gods; even their sons and their daughters they have burned in the fire to their gods.
Deut 12:32 All the things I command you, be careful to do it. You shall not add to it, nor take away from it.
That principle has never been abrogated. It remains, strong as ever as far as God is concerned. Don't mess around with His religion. He is trying to save humanity from itself. He needs no man-made modifications or adaptations in the process. But, of course, that is and has been mankind since the beginning. And, it goes farther back to Lucifer's rebellion. That's where it all began.
Lucifer has placed everything in confusion. "Babylon." The Mother, her daughters, and the kings of the Earth.
It shall some day, end.
"Come out of her, My people..."
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/pope-francis-and-canadian-bishops-take-part-in-pagan-smudging-ritual-invoking-sacred-circle-of-spirits/
You probably know paganism is huge now and has been for awhile. It's one of the fastest growing religions in the world and has been for decades. It is broken down into so many branches it is hard to describe.
First, a definition?
pagan
noun
1. (especially in historical contexts) a person holding religious beliefs other than those of the main or recognized religions
Example: "the incoming Germanic peoples were pagans"
Nope. Nowhere close. Plenty of recognized religions are pagan so, that definition is rather worthless.
Definition of pagan
1: an unconverted member of a people or nation who does not practice Christianity, Judaism, or Islam especially: a follower of a polytheistic religion (as in ancient Rome)
2: one who has little or no religion and who delights in sensual pleasures and material goods: an irreligious or hedonistic person
3: NEO-PAGAN witches, druids, goddess worshippers, and other pagans in America today — Alice Dowd
I reject #1. Paganism is not based on mono or poly-theism. Zoroastrianism, the religion of ancient Persians, is mono-theistic. It would be considered pagan by Hebrew and Christian standards. Islam, the same. It is pagan.
Let me state it simply, this way. For a Christian, and I am not using that term as broadly as is popular, today, paganism is anything that is not the religion of the Bible. It may be Earth-based or solar-based, whatever but, it all has one thing in common. It is not God's religion as He states it in His Word.
So, in fact, one of the reasons why Roman Catholicism is "antechristos" is because much of it has no foundation in anything biblical. That is just the historical fact. Be it Christmas, Easter, and dozens of other days and practices all borrowed from paganism and modified, regardless of intent, the Roman Catholic Pope has been a pagan for over 1500 years. There is very little about Catholicism that is not pagan. Aside from some biblical names, everything surrounding those names has nothing to do with the personages represented. The apostle Peter with be absolutely horrified to see all that is associated with his name. And non-Catholics have no horns to blow, because so many are following those same things of pagan origin.
The issue in that news story is just another pagan ritual the Pope tried out to please some Canadians who were abused by Catholic tormentors at Catholic run schools. The pagans offered an olive branch. Do this ritual with us and we will call it nice. The Pope did it, even after creating a scandal with the last pagan ritual he got into last year.
Catholics that care, are up in arms. I'm sorry, sincere Catholic believer. You have over 1500 YEARS of paganism that your church history and religion is based upon. Things borrowed from ancient Romans, Greeks, Persians, Babylonians, which all came before it. You cannot sidestep it. You cannot ignore it. You cannot make excuses for it. If all of that history is okay with you than anything the Pope might get into is fair ground. You are just either not aware of your own church's history or you are and believe it has the right to change anything into anything it desires. Which is why for centuries preachers proclaimed that Roman Catholicism is just "baptized paganism." It is the oldest and biggest pagan organization in the world.
Unfortunately, the Bible stands against the traditions of Catholicism. Catholicism says, We trust traditions and the testimony of the living church more than the testimony of the Bible.
And there is your war, which has been fought for 2000 years, from the very first century to today, between those who stand for simple, biblical truth for doctrine and standards, and those who do not.
You can't get angry with me. You cannot honestly get angry with any person who points this out. We did not make this history up. We did not invent Saturnalia, which is the ancient winter feast much of Christmas festivities are based upon. We did not invent the worship of goddesses to which bunnies and eggs and birth cycles are based upon. And if you think it is all benign, no big deal. Just some innocent amusement. Think again:
Deut 12:29 When Jehovah your God shall cut off the nations before you, where you go to possess them, and you take their place and dwell in their land,
Deut 12:30 take heed to yourself that you do not become snared by following them, after they are destroyed from before you, and that you do not ask about their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods, that I too may do likewise?
Deut 12:31 You shall not do so to Jehovah your God. For every abomination to Jehovah, which He hates, they have done to their gods; even their sons and their daughters they have burned in the fire to their gods.
Deut 12:32 All the things I command you, be careful to do it. You shall not add to it, nor take away from it.

A couple weeks ago I last entered a post on the progress of A.I.
The people watching this and reporting on it literally cannot keep up with the speed at which things are changing. If you watched a video from just 1 year ago, it's obsolete. Make that 6 months ago. Make it three.
Everyone is being assured we are years away from "sentience." Factually, I do not believe when artificial sentience is reached, the general public will be told. As usual, powers that be will keep the public in fog so as not to create panic of some dystopian nightmare upon us. Truth is only as good as men can make money off it and control it.
Here's the latest. Prepare to be overwhelmed by the potential of what it all means.

I Could But, I Won't.
While I am still fighting off this wretched illness, whatever it is, and feel like I have lead weights for arms, I could let this stuff go by but, I won't.
**Anybody with a lick of common sense knows Kari Lake won her primary in Arizona. They also know the crooks and criminals and traitors that run that state are doing everything they can to see to it she loses. And there's not a damn thing she can do about it. Even now false numbers of votes are still being counted; these people have no shame, no honor, no credibility and unless the citizens of that state rise up, en masse, and put the fear of God into those creeps calling themselves elected civil servants, Kari Lake will not be the GOP candidate.
**One of the most evil men to ever occupy a position in Washington, D.C., Dick Cheney, actually stated this in a campaign ad for his traitorous daughter, Liz - “In our nation’s 246 year history there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our Republic than Donald Trump.”
It is difficult to place the "stupid assessment" on such a statement. It is so unbelievably vacant of intelligence one could assume Cheney may be just as mentally ill as the non-president.
These people are so morbidly evil and wicked it boggles the mind. Conscience seared with a hot iron.
***They have now declared Monkeypox to be a national heath crisis. The most ignorantly inept group of people ever foisted onto the American nation's backs have yet another sinking ship to try and steer clear of administrative rocks of lies, exaggerations, fear mongering, and all the rest.
The Bible says to pray for our leaders. I cannot because they got there by criminal activity. They are not our leaders. They are criminals intent on destroying the United States of America. I pray God takes them down.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

630. Drag Queen Chapel? - August 5, 2022
Unless you're living under a rock or in a cave somewhere, you know the world of, the community of professed Christianity is fractured by the exact same things fracturing the political world - Radical Left, Left, Right, Radical Right, no real center, and no workable definitions or standards to determine what "radical" means. It just gets thrown around like "Nazi" does. Today's "radical" could have been yesterday's nominal nobody.
For those like myself who choose to believe the Bible and the Bible alone is the only rule of faith, practice and discipline for the believer, choosing that standard places oneself under a pretty exacting standard. Self-condemnation is not only common, it is prescribed:
2Cor 13:5 examine yourselves, whether you are in the faith, prove your own selves. Do you not know your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless you are reprobates?
A reprobate is someone beyond saving.
Fighting the good fight of faith is a moment by moment, personal march. I certainly do not say my personal journey has been a victorious one but, the reality of it all leads people to honestly admit life gets the better of them and they know they are a sinner in need of a Saviour. They make no excuses. They would never have the arrogance to look at God and blame Him for anything or worse, just act as though He is not aware of everything in a life, at all moments, even before every moment arrives. But, professed Christians can get to that place that God does not see. The ancient Jews made that mistake. Modern Christians do the same. Confusion makes it even worse. Confusion makes it seem God not only sees but, condones and applauds. Big mistake.
So, when you see a story in the news about a professed Christian school forcing students to chapel to watch a drag queen performance you realize the nature of deceptions that are bringing darkness on the Earth.

Now, churches are just buildings. Their size or furnishings or occupants do not make them holy. On the contrary. Despite designs to conjure up "heaven" in the mind of one who enters, only the presence of God can make a building holy. Tall ceilings do not holiness make.
The ancient Hebrew temple was almost considered an ancient wonder of the world yet Jesus said the religious leaders turned it into a den of thieves. He predicted that marvelous structure would be brought down, not one stone left upon another. That is exactly what happened in 70 A.D.
The church in the story is Episcopal; it's High School/ private academy. Watching the video, it's hard to believe anyone was forced into the exercise, given all the screaming and cheering. But, the testimony of some certainly place undue pressures on attending and being involved. Any self-respecting parent would pull their son or daughter out of that place in an eye's blink.
The Episcopal church has been coined "Catholic Lite" for so long one wonders why it just doesn't shut its doors and go back to Mother Rome. Well, you see, it rejects the primacy of the Papacy, as do the other extremely liturgical churches, like the Greek and Russian Orthodox. I'm guessing most all local Catholic churches and academies would reject holding drag queen shows in their sanctuaries. But, who knows?
This is one of the exact reasons why prophetic "Babylon" is not a place. On the scale of history - Rome - than the history of the parade of groups that broke away from her, you have examples of man-made religion in extremes, to just some traditions people go by, nothing fancy. Why is it all Babylon? Because it has elements of confusion. Religious confusion. Man-made religious confusion. Error. Falsehood. And the confusion is so great, the adherents have no idea they are confused. Everything is just fine, Thank you very much, as far as they are concerned. They are all made drunk with the wine of Mother's fornications with the kings of the Earth down through time.
Those churches supporting things God specifically calls abomination will bring down the judgments of God upon their heads some day. They may look at that drag show in a church supposedly dedicated to God and His truth and think themselves safe because their church would never condone such an abomination. And yet, they have their own traditions and lies, apostasy and adherence to "Mother" that condemns them. God has packaged this thing up in as tidy a box as can be done so no one has excuse.
"Babylon" is not a place. It's a condition. It is a condition of inebriation, drunkenness that causes places to become corrupt, through drunken leaders, through false doctrines and policies, and God says, "Come out of her, My people."
Corruption happens over time. At one time no Episcopal church would have forced students to attend such a salacious abomination but, wine makes drunk. That's just the way it is. You cannot keep drinking it and not get drunk. The seat of reason and judgment is impaired. Choice is affected. Decisions corrupted.
"Come out of her, My people."
Millions will come out when the final call is given. They will take their stand on the platform of eternal truth while the entire world is drowning in a cauldron of assurance that everything is alright, when everything is all wrong.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Two Movies
I'm not a fan of Hollywood. It's been a corrupt city since its development. Oh, without question movies and television programs made at one time there were as benign as baseball cards in bicycle spokes. Many actors and actresses were patriots, and growing up, a few them were favorites of mine, even though their heyday was well before my own, the days of Black and White films.
Recently I looked up two different films I had not seen in... I could not tell you. Both can be found online to watch for free.
"Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," with Jimmy Stewart, made in 1936 and "Meet John Doe," with Gary Cooper, made in 1941.
The films are considered "classics," as well they should be, and their timeliness to speak to our own time, right now, this day, is a testament to their depths of subject matter and the war being waged for the soul of the nation. It's an old war.
If you have never seen those portrayals of American life, you should. Every American should. They show a vital ingredient missing in the fabric of today's American elected civil service and its citizenry.
*************************************************
I came upon another short film yesterday; not a paid, political ad, per se but, maybe the best thing I have seen in decades.

Apparently, the AZ gubernatorial race has been called for Kari Lake, though also apparently, a full counting of ballots has yet to be finished in Maricopa County, the most corrupt county in the state. Congratulations to someone who may end up an historic governor should she beat the cabal come November and set out to do the things she claims she will do. I certainly wish her well.

The FBI Raid
Why is anyone surprised by the FBI raid on Trump's Mara Lago estate?
The FBI was weaponized during the Obama administration. Actually, well before that by decades. What is surprising to me is how many Leftists there are in that organization. Why would anyone take an oath to defend the Constitution and then just completely ignore it and exist as a hammer of a political party?
The FBI has been corrupt for a long time, just like every other Alphabet agency. The only way you can get an America close to collapse is if such agencies are as corrupt as the politicians getting away with breaking laws. Otherwise they'd be arrested, tried, and locked up.
Aside from Conservative political pundits crying, Foul!, has anyone seen any Republican taking to a microphone to express their disgust of the situation? Apparently a couple governors have, notably Noem and DeSantis. Otherwise, zip. Trump is hated. They want him gone, anyway possible.
And those pundits who begin their tirades, "Regardless of what you think of Trump's politics," or "Regardless of what you think of Trump's claims about the election..." tells me all I need to know. They all waffled on the biggest news story in American political history. They refused to look at the facts and just sniffed the wind and played it safe. It is not "regardless of what you think... ." It is precisely because of what Leftists think of Donald Trump's politics and stand against the corrupt election.
If the FBI can raid a President's home, there is no citizen in America safe from tyranny. None. And now, all the pundits who kept their mouth shut after 2020, and who kept their mouths shuts after Jan 6, are now meaningless to any discussion of where things are.
I heard an angry Dan Bongino telling people they must get out and vote this November. SERIOUSLY? While he and all the rest waffled on the steal, it's now too late to expect an election to make a difference. Nothing has changed. The same people, the same processes, the same corruption are all still in place. Broad daylight corruption now. Safe, secure, honest elections are history.
People had their opportunity when everything was hot and fresh and easy to prove.
Some are predicting a great backlash; a rising up. Americans have not risen up since Pearl Harbor. They aren't going to rise up for Donald Trump. He's a billionaire with an army of lawyers. He's not some poor Joe DeShoe being pushed around. Other Americans, like Roger Stone, had FBI raids. No rising up for them and they are far closer to an "everyman" than Trump will ever be.
Has there been a rising up against those who have perpetuated the greatest criminal action against humanity in the entire history of the human race? No. Fauci and company are still out there lying, all day, every day. Adults and children are dying all over the globe from "mystery" illnesses. More doctors rising up is pretty meaningless at this point. People have gone back to work in those states where medical tyranny has relaxed or gone away, altogether. Lawsuits are being filed. Won't make a difference. There is not going to be a "rising up." Heroes and champions are needed for such events. There are none.
If I am asked how this is all going to play out prophetically? I don't know. I really don't.
Something must yet take place to coalesce the masses. An FBI raid on Trump's vacation home in Florida is not that event. Get serious.
I'm still figuring on a Yellowstone explosion or some event of that magnitude. The threat, a real threat of nuclear war and intervention of "E.T." remains one of the only possible events that could arrest the attention of the entire world. So, for me, the angel of light dog and pony show remains a logical contender.
No matter what happens in this world, I am never removed from prophetic events. Ever. All else can be smoke screens and distractions but, last-day events are the reality.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

UPDATE
So, Conservative political pundits across America are all upset about the corrupt Merrick Garland justice department raiding Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. They act as though this is the worst thing since WW2. Banana Republic! Nazism! Communism! Well, yes, all of that.
People act as though this happened overnight. The corrupt Clinton administration and especially the activities of his wife were all there in the 1990s and since. Even before that, Bush senior mentioned the New World Order as a positive thing. None of this has happened overnight.
September 11, 2001 is yet one of the biggest crimes in American history, yet to be fully investigated. I will never forget Norm Mineta's testimony at the bogus hearings, laying it all right in the lap of Dick Cheney, and nothing was done. Nothing. Mineta recently passed away. I wonder if he left anything behind to expose people involved in the heinous act.
Anyway, corruption in DC is generation's old. It's systemic. Maybe an army of Kari Lakes in positions of state governors could make a stand. But, unfortunately, too many states are run by corrupt Leftist governors for that to happen. And again, Lake has her party's nomination. She still has to fight an entrenched machine that will openly cheat on election day and before to see to it enough votes are available to keep Lake from office.
Let me be honest here. The very fact a former news reporter, a female is taking the fight to the tyrants says an awful lot about the males available for elected civil service in AZ.
In the Bible, God raised up women because the men were cowards or corrupt. Deborah was the most notable woman in that respect but, plenty of others are mentioned.
It's not a put down of women. Anyone who studies the Bible knows God's established order in humanity. God, Christ, male, female, children. No, it isn't popular. It just is. Society has changed so much establishing such an order again is futile. War changed it. Depression, Recession, Inflation, etc., all changed it.
Kari Lake is a tigress. She stands apart. Most women in politics do not come close. Not that they have to. And certainly no man needs to be like Trump, ready to take a swing at anyone who says something nasty about him.
Basically, I'm reading the Garland JD and FBI just nominated Trump for 2024. They gave him all the reasons necessary to fight back and fight back hard and most Americans will back him, even Democrats whose lives have been made all the worse for traitors in DC.
Hating Trump was never the answer. They keep making things worse. But, stupid is as stupid does. The way to beat Trump all along was to have better ideas and policies. Well, they don't have that, by design so, all they can do now is wait for him to announce. Whatever rally he picks, expect the meter to crack when the roar goes up from the crowd at hand.
No, I'm not excited. I believe America can do better than Donald Trump. There's just nobody on the scene to match his current energy levels. DeSantis? Noem? Not really. Lake? Sure, but, she has a governorship to win, yet. A whole lot of politics is going to play out before November and certainly before 2024. The entire globe could be a very different place by then.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
People act as though this happened overnight. The corrupt Clinton administration and especially the activities of his wife were all there in the 1990s and since. Even before that, Bush senior mentioned the New World Order as a positive thing. None of this has happened overnight.
September 11, 2001 is yet one of the biggest crimes in American history, yet to be fully investigated. I will never forget Norm Mineta's testimony at the bogus hearings, laying it all right in the lap of Dick Cheney, and nothing was done. Nothing. Mineta recently passed away. I wonder if he left anything behind to expose people involved in the heinous act.
Anyway, corruption in DC is generation's old. It's systemic. Maybe an army of Kari Lakes in positions of state governors could make a stand. But, unfortunately, too many states are run by corrupt Leftist governors for that to happen. And again, Lake has her party's nomination. She still has to fight an entrenched machine that will openly cheat on election day and before to see to it enough votes are available to keep Lake from office.

631. Corruption - August 13, 2022
I know I'm repeating myself here but, so be it. The point needs repetition.
I got an email from someone who said the linked article might give some insight into why Mar-a-Lago was raided. Everybody in Conservative media is on the hunt for the reason. What documents? What hidden agendas? What potential crimes were they looking to jump on?
For me it is simple. Corruption. Power. The federal government is corrupt. It has power. It hates Donald Trump. It uses its power to bring down Donald Trump so he cannot run for office again. Does it need to be anymore detailed than that? Maybe for Trump's attorneys but, for the general public this slide into corruption goes way back to the use of the FBI at Ruby Ridge and Waco. Actually, internal events well before that but, those two foul abuses by the FBI and Justice Department marked the beginning of the general public seeing the corruption of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
It has been my belief for many years ALL alphabet agencies of the Federal government should not exist. None of them should have ever seen light of day. All crime should be handled by State and Local police departments within their state and local jurisdictions and cooperate if things extend beyond state lines. All foreign affairs handled by the branches of the military, each branch given oversight over all others to keep things legal and above board. All domestic affairs and disturbances handled by the National Guard. Obviously those bodies can become and have become corrupt themselves, state to state but, the potential for sheriff departments to stay loyal to oaths to protect the Constitution remain ever more easy to keep control of than out of control Federal agencies with no oversight, the number of which no one even knows, in fact. Look it up. Agencies, subcategory agencies, all intertwined into "the Deep State." The only way this could have happened is corruption, rottenness, criminal intent on the part of those who concocted these agencies or who run them. Mar-a Lago is only the next event of a string of events that show the nation and the world how corrupt the United States of America has become. But, again, it didn't happen overnight. It is unlikely it can be changed now, as systemic as it all is. The swamp is not going to be cleaned out by any politician or group of politicians.
I received another email from someone who believes the Gospel is simple, and my own personal struggles in the faith need not exist. I shot back an email which for me was a defense of the faith once delivered unto the saints, Jude 1:3.
Corruption in the Christian faith is legendary. It's history is so profound it's a wonder anything of the true faith exists at all in this world. The only reason it can exist is because the Bible exists, and exists in close enough form of the original manuscripts to keep the wheels of salvation turning in this world. The truth of God, regardless of corruption of people, maintains its ability to change lives.
I believe there is no such thing as a simplistic view of salvation. The Gospel is not simple. Even Paul told the Hebrews to grow up.
Heb 5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
Heb 5:10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
Heb 5:11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
Heb 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
Heb 5:13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
Heb 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Babies, Paul called them. They were caught up in the 'simplicity' of the gospel as they first heard it, as though the depth of the gospel is nothing more than Christ came, Christ lived, Christ died, Christ rose from the dead, Christ ascended to Heaven, will come back some day, I believe, I profess it, been baptized so, saved! All is good. And Paul told them you are babies. You should be teachers of others and you have yet to understand the strong things that defend the faith. Your discernment is so weak your own faith is at peril.
I could name dozens of preachers on television, who for decades, going back to the early days of TV, have preached this watered down, weak, and vacillating half-gospel to tens of millions. What is the Gospel? Well, which facet? Look it up.
There is the good news of God, Rom. 1:1
The good news of Jesus Christ, Mark 1:1.
The good news of the power of salvation, Rom. 1:16.
The good news of peace, Rom. 10:15.
The good news of the kingdom, Matt 4:23.
The good news for the poor, Luke 4:18.
The good news of God's grace, Acts 20:24.
The good news is to be obeyed, Rom. 10:16.
More than one good news has been out there for ages and Paul warned of it, 2 Cor. 11:4, Gal. 1:6.
So many preachers have nailed down the gospel to the watered down version, the church, itself, is but a faint shadow of its former days.
Why is America, the land where the Gospel had such exposure; protected by law, so corrupt? Why do we read of corrupt ministers of the gospel almost weekly? Sexual infidelity. Financial mishandling. Child abuse. What is going on?
Corruption. Jesus spoke against it in the church of His day. The systemic corruptions of the Sanhedrin - the Pharisees, Sadducees, scribes and doctors of the law. Paul warned corruption was coming to the early church. Peter warned. Jude warned. John warned and dealt with massive corruption that was entering the church before he died.
Corruption exists because something is not defended, something is not protected, not kept clean and functioning properly. Rust is a type of corruption. Mold is a type of corruption. Rot is a type of corruption. How do they develop? We all know what they are. We know how they develop. Food not kept fresh rots. Metal not protected rusts or corrodes. Things not kept clean and dry will develop mold in hot, humid places. That is our world, the reality of our world.
If the good news is not protected, not kept fresh the same propensities for corruption exist for it, as well. Sin must be overcome. It is not an option. If sin is not overcome it will corrupt anyone who who plays games with it. It will corrupt any church, any ministry, any organization professing belief in Christ. Sin exists, freely exists and preachers tell people God loves them. Just believe the Gospel and you shall be saved. That is the biggest half-truth ever palmed off by a man upon people who should know better. That message, that gospel is so prevalent and so intrinsically part of the fabric of professed Christianity, millions are completely unaware they are being deceived by charlatans. But, if they studied for themselves, they would see the truth versus the error. They do not study to show themselves approved unto God, workmen that need not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. No, they just sit and listen to their preachers.
Jesus said, Go and sin no more, John 5:14, 8:11. He said to strive to enter in through the strait gates for broad is the way that leads to destruction but, strait is the way and narrow the gates that lead to eternal life, Matt 7:13,14. How does anyone walk away thinking the Christian good news is just some collection of events in the life of Jesus Christ? Believe them and you are saved. How is that possible? Corruption.
Whatever the FBI began as, in principle, it obviously no longer is. It has shown itself to be corrupt. Whatever the Founders of the United States began, written down and codified with revolution and blood, no longer is. It is corrupt. The churches, from Mother, the Roman Catholic Church, to all her daughters following her corruptions, have nothing more than word salad to give to starving souls.
What is sin? Transgression of the law, 1 John 3:4. It's deeper than that: whatsoever is not of faith, is sin, Rom. 14:23. Think of that. Faith is trust, trust in God. Whatsoever is not of trusting in God, is sin. I can guarantee you 99% of professed believers have no idea what the depth of that verse means to the daily life. Whatever is not of faith, is sin. That is how God sees and explains it. What does man see and proclaim? God is love. God loves you. God has a plan for your life. And you just keep putting money in our coffers so we can preach this good news to the whole world. And anyone should wonder that Jesus is so sick He is telling us He is going to vomit out all the things making Him sick by His professed church, Rev 3:14-22.
Now this is where people love to throw Ephesians at those who believe the plan of salvation is a whole lot more deep and worthy of study than just profession of faith, of trust in Gods grace. Yes, there is the good news of God, His true character and the good news of His grace, His love to save us from sin. No Christian would deny such a thing. But the Bible, if allowed to interpret itself, will often place corroborating information within any passage of a text and Ephesians 2 is the classic example. People love to quote Eph. 2:8.9. I have seen it, heard it, experienced it dozens of times in life. What happens if the rest of the context is allowed to speak?
Eph 2:1 And you hath he quickened [made alive], who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Eph 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Eph 2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation [behavior] in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
Eph 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Eph 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
Eph 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Eph 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Dead in sins. Made alive in Christ, no longer walking in the lusts of the flesh but, in newness of life, as though we are living in the atmosphere of Heaven itself, grace changes us. Grace saves. For what? What does the Bible state, not some popular preacher to his megachurch. What is the testimony of Scripture? Grace is a workmanship of God to change the believer, to create a believer to work, to obey, to carry out the requirements of God in the life. God ordained from before the foundation of the Earth that mankind could obey God and live victorious life IF they truly connect with the grace of God. Grace is not license to sin. Grace is power to obey! Grace is a mandate to live a holy life. It is not permission to do as we please. It is power to do as God pleases. And that is a lifetime of study and contemplation.
But, you see, calling sin by its right name and the necessity for it to be removed from the life is not popular. Such a message cannot fill a megachurch entertainment center for half-baked believers under delusions of a false gospel. There's no money to be made for preachers who tell people sin is not an option: it must go. Can't have that so, the gospel has become 'God loves you.'
Where the world once was, the church now is, and keeps descending in that order, generation after generation.
America, which is pushing God away so fast it's like a day at the Indy 500, does not want adherence to old, dusty documents and the beliefs of guys in powdered wigs and pony tails. No way. Money and power. Those are the engines now driving America, driving American churches. The secularist hates the religious. The religious hate the truth. The eggs are now scrambled so badly, the confusion so deep, America is lost, the professed Christian church is lost. Profession of patriotism, profession of faith is meaningless now. The die is cast. The mold only turning out replicas of what is, as a system, as a society of people once the marvel of the nations.
NOTHING but serious and sincere repentance is going to change this nation. What does that mean is coming? If God has yet the desire for America to stand, it means judgments. Major judgments in such a string of connection only the most belligerent and blind could miss it. God will reduce America to dust that its people may repent and turn back before only the death of the nation remains.
Or, America falls and what comes next will make all previous attacks on the nation seem like BBs off a battleship.
I saw a statement by the former CEO of Whole Foods. He claims socialism is now everywhere, taking over everything. I always thought Whole Foods was a kind of hippie, new age, liberal kind of store. Shopped in various ones many times and yet, the former CEO says he is a capitalist and believes in capitalism but, Whole Foods has changed, America has changed. It's all socialism now. Socialism, Fascism, Communism, Totalitarianism... government control of everything and everybody. Only lunatics believe such systems can work. America is now being run by such lunatics.
The connections between religion and politics are so close, in principle, that any understanding of separation of church and state is just rule of law for the safety of each but, in reality both function, should and must function from the same principle underlying each: there is a massive difference between separation of church and state and separation of God from state. You cannot separate God from the State. To do so is demise and death to any nation.
God is separating from professed Christianity. It is Babylon. Confusion. God is separating from the national fabric and system. It is corrupt. Yes, individual believers and patriots exist that God works with. But, as long as sin is just some second rate subject, it will continue to corrupt the nation, right to its doom.
Matt 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
We need to be saved from our sins, not in our sins. We need salvation from both the penalty and the power of sin.
He that overcomes... seven times it is stated in Revelation. He that overcomes. Not an option. A heavenly mandate, a requirement.
As long as sin is kept in the shadows, on a back shelf, some irrelevant notion of worn out doctrine, the Devil will tear apart this nation and its people to shreds. Nothing can stop him.
What will God do?
What will Americans do?
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

God is separating from professed Christianity. It is Babylon. Confusion. God is separating from the national fabric and system. It is corrupt. Yes, individual believers and patriots exist that God works with. But, as long as sin is just some second rate subject, it will continue to corrupt the nation, right to its doom.
Matt 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
We need to be saved from our sins, not in our sins. We need salvation from both the penalty and the power of sin.
He that overcomes... seven times it is stated in Revelation. He that overcomes. Not an option. A heavenly mandate, a requirement.
As long as sin is kept in the shadows, on a back shelf, some irrelevant notion of worn out doctrine, the Devil will tear apart this nation and its people to shreds. Nothing can stop him.
What will God do?
What will Americans do?
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Houston Children - Martyrs for Khamenei
People tell me Texas is a special place. Vast ecosystems. I watched a nature video about them yesterday. Unfortunately, Texas aquifers are not able to keep up supply for demand. Far too many people coming here and drilling wells.
Then there's the border. Well, there is no border. It's just air and millions walk through it every year.
Most of Southern Texas seems pretty Left, and that includes the big cities in the north, like Dallas. Therefore, in short order, Texas is going from Purple to Blue. I don't know. Beto O'Rourke keeps getting booed out of various places he visits. You see there are more guns in Texas than people and Beto hates guns and the 2nd Amendment.
Anyway, Houston, the multicultural mecca of the Lone Star State, apparently has a growing Islamic community. A community with schools teaching Shi'ite students songs of martyrdom for Iran's spiritual leader, Ali Khamenei. Yeah, in America? In Texas? I found that rather farfetched. Nope.

That second link is to a website I was not aware of. Here's a page from it that catalogs Islamist ideologs and leaders around the world stating there vitriol for Israel and the West:

When anyone tells me Islam is a religion of peace and that Jihad means some kind of war with self, I shake my head and call BS. Islam is a religion of domination with a goal to rule the Earth.
"The song’s lyrics say: “[Khamenei] is calling on his children, his soldiers… In spite of my age, I will be your army’s commander…May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, I will sacrifice everything for you…I make an oath to be your martyr, Ali.”
Texas. The Lone Star State. Long Horn cattle. The Alamo and all that stuff.
Not so much.

632. You'll Eat Bugs and Be Happy - August 16, 2022
I'm seeing stories in the alt news about bugs in the human diet, from the point of propaganda from various lunatic Leftist outfits like the Klaus Schwab's World Economic Forum, etc.
"You will own nothing and be happy" is the now well-known phrase that was spoken by a speaker at some WEF conference. Actually, it was stated as "We will own nothing and be happy." The speaker was third person commenting on how humanity will view what's coming: the big blessing of being a world citizen under The Great Reset. At this point, there isn't much you can't tag onto the be happy line and create memes with it. Hence, the eating bugs headlines I'm seeing. Here's a story from Info Wars, with plenty of examples:
https://www.infowars.com/posts/you-will-eat-the-bugs-major-brands-quietly-slipping-insects-into-your-food/
Now, my own take on this is simply to show anyone reading, God has been way ahead of this subject for thousands of years.
1. God told Noah to take "Clean" and "Unclean" animals aboard the ark. The demarcation of clean and unclean was known way before there was a Hebrew or Jewish nation.
2. Centuries later God gave Moses "the Law" for His people and part of it was dietary restrictions and permissions. What can and cannot be eaten, and for very specific reasons.
3. The reiteration of clean and unclean creatures either fit or unfit for food was given. I've addressed this a couple times and won't rehearse that again but, you can find it all in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14.
4. REMEMBER the demarcation of clean and unclean was known by God's people CENTURIES before Moses came along.
Lev 11:44 For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Lev 11:45 For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
Lev 11:46 This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth:
Lev 11:47 To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
As far as God is concerned, diet and living a holy life are attached. We are what we eat. We are not to consider our taste buds as final arbiter. We are to consider God's knowledge of the kingdom of animals and creatures He created. It is His will that directs, guides and demands, not ours. That's the biblical worldview.
This is not about Jews. Noah and his family were not Jews. There is no such thing as Jewish animals versus Gentile animals. That is absolute nonsense. The dietary law was about human health, and health being part of God's plan for human sanctification. Eating predators and/or scavengers is unhealthy. That is God's determination, not mine. Why? Because clean creatures have anatomical systems designed to refine the food it eats. They are grass eaters on land, and they live out in the open, fresh air, not underground in filthy hutches or holes where bacteria festers. The same for birds, the same for aquatic creatures. All exist in various environments and consume its own food in ways that leave their anatomies, or become part of their anatomies rendering them toxic in some way. Clean or unclean are declared by standards the Creator established for all humanity, not rules for Jews, and certainly not laws that the Messiah came along and changed. The thought is nonsensical on the face of it. How can the death of Christ change the physical nature of any creature? It didn't. A swine in Noah's day, one of the most proficient scavengers on the planet that can eat just about anything and not die, is the same swine in Christ's day and the same swine in our day and the same swine God establishes a curse upon eaters of it when Christ returns, (Isaiah 66:15-17). That is Big-Time acknowledgment of something that grieves the Lord: the eating of swine's flesh.
I have stated this before and it bears repeating. If the death of Christ changed the dietary laws, and Christ did not instruct humanity on the necessity of cooking swine's flesh at required temperatures to kill Trichina worms than Christ is responsible for every case of Trichinosis known to mankind since His death and resurrection. The same goes for every single disease that comes from eating creatures God restricts in His law. And there are dozens of diseases that come from eating prohibited creatures.
No, there is not a word Jesus spoke that changes the dietary laws placed upon humanity. Christ declared all creatures clean and free from man-made instructions of preparation Jewish teachers mandated. The same for washing of plates and cooking utensils. All that (Mark 7:1-23) has nothing to do with God's health laws. It specifically has to do with the commandments and traditions of men.
And forget about Peter's sheet, Acts 10:9-17. #1. Peter said he had never eaten anything common or unclean up to that point, and he doubted the intent of the vision, and #2, circumstances then surrounded him where he declared he should call no man common or unclean, as the Jews were wont to pronounce all Gentiles. Peter recognized the vision as one regarding humanity, not God's established health laws, Acts 10:28; 11:1-18.
Now, to bugs. I don't eat bugs. No thanks. BUT, that is not to state God is not way ahead of the human curve. Some bugs are commonly eaten by billions of people in this world. What does God's word state?
Lev 11:20 All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.
Lev 11:21 Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;
Lev 11:22 Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.
Lev 11:23 But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.
Legs higher than their feet. Picture the legs of grasshoppers and locusts -

Lev 11:23 But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.
Legs higher than their feet. Picture the legs of grasshoppers and locusts -
Legs higher than their feet. That can leap tremendous distances, given their size ratio. And, of course they also fly, and among those things that do both fly and walk on the land, they can be consumed, and are, by billions of people. No, I have no interest in eating grasshoppers or crickets cooked in any way. That doesn't mean they are not a simple source of food God states is permissible to consume. I suppose if the circumstances were thrust upon me, I'd deal with it but, know this, upon pain of death there is no way I'd eat anything prohibited by God in His law, I do not care how common or usual it is consumed by humanity. When God says Do Not Eat It, that is exactly what He means. To disregard His law is to disregard one's health and God's sovereignty. You do not disregard God's sovereignty with impunity.
God loves us and just wants us to be healthy, and states so in His word:
3John 1:2 Beloved, in regard to all things I pray that you prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.
The connection between our spiritual health and physical health cannot be denied. The Bible states it plainly enough so, there can be no confusion on this point.
Is the WEF and other totalitarian groups in God's camp? Hardly. They are absolute enemies of righteousness. Just know Satan is fine with people being healthy. As long as he can blind the minds of those lost, he could care less how healthy people are. The fact that the professed Christian world is so unhealthy, is certainly no testimony in favor of God's watchcare over His world and professed people. It's an affront and stumbling block for unbelievers who care more about their health than Christians care about their own. Physically unhealthy believers are a tremendous problem as far as a witness goes. The role of faith and connection to the Creator is all about self-control and living a sanctified life. Being unhealthy mars that in no uncertain ways, and we have no excuses before God.
So, while professed Christians like Alex Jones are showing the evil of those who want humanity to eat bugs, he's out of harmony with the God he professes to serve and believe in, and honestly, is no picture of health, himself. He'd do well to adhere to a Biblical diet, and even better, the Genesis diet. That's been shown to be the healthiest of all. Maintaining good health is both easy and difficult in this confused world of ours and just look around and see the health problems in children today. It's getting worse, not better. Obesity is epidemic.
And, btw, yes, cows are considered clean and edible, biblically speaking. But, modern studies of what a cow is today; all that it is fed and what is pumped into it, like hormones, and how they are handled at meat packing plants, and the scandals surrounding them, and how all flesh food is irradiated for consumer market, to kill any bacteria, makes it a fool's errand to consume it today. Even the vegetarian faces this problem now. Irradiation of all consumer foods is just as much a multinational corporation plan for control as anything the WEF has come up with. Just because the FDA and EPA tell you it's healthy, hardly means it is. EVERYTHING is to be held suspect, that any federal agency declares safe and effective; and if that fact has not been shown since 2020 and Covid, it never will be in the minds of the blinded.

Doing a search on the subject will render no mean list of warnings and need for research into this now, common processing, especially in America. Why is America always leading the charge in some new process? Because America is the nation most controlled by multinational corporations.

633. What Do You Think? - August 18, 2022
The world really is going cuckoo, as my mother would say.
In one week I have seen articles, commentary in major, online periodicals, that Catholicism is both going fashionably "chic," and "rad-trad Cath" is becoming popular; some kind of blowback against the Leftist, woke, mob rule attitude attempting to take control in every direction you look these days.
The other article stated the Roman Catholic Rosary is now a symbol of militant Right aggression against anything Left; a growing radicalized movement that is a dangerous rise of Catholic Conservatism in America. The article apparently caused swift reaction, including Rosaries flying off the shelves of online Catholic merchandise sites.
I was going to comment on both articles but, frankly, too much 'word salad' nonsense from both authors. Neither article made much sense. They had lots of linked examples of their points but, anything Roman Catholic that becomes "fashion" is as hollow as Biden's and Pelosi's claims of being faithful Roman Catholics.
I am a Protestant. I believe all the information is there, for centuries, to show the Roman Catholic Church is the biggest cult on Earth. That said, beads are not anymore dangerous to America than the Leftism promoted by the authors and journals painting Catholics as dangerous citizens. Every group can have its radicals by comparison to doctrinal statements and positions. Every group can have fanatics. I just find it incredibly shallow to curse religious beads while Islamic neighborhoods are rising up around America where Jihad is preached, where children are taught to hate Jews and be martyrs for Allah, where female genital mutilation exists as common practice, and where Islamic laws exist over the laws of this nation and Leftists remain silent over it all, including the position to exterminate homosexuals. The levels of hypocrisy involved in this incredible Leftist silence could shatter the windows of every building on Main Street, America.
One commenter, a Muslim, said if you want real radical behavior, forget Rome. Giving up chocolate for 40 days of Lent is nothing compared to starving yourself for 30 days of Ramadan. Catholicism is for wimps.
Frankly, both religions are man-made, human attempts at righteousness. Righteousness comes by faith in Christ, in us, through the work of the Holy Spirit in the believer. Whatever fasting may do to increase self-denial and intestinal fortitude, it can never produce righteousness. Both Islam and Catholicism are religions of man's works for salvation. Both deny a true born-again experience, what Jesus said is a MUST, not an option for salvation. "You must be born again," John 3:7.
If you actually listed all the groups in America that are against each other, the old Red Sox/Yankees rivalry; fastballs whizzing by heads and spikes held high when sliding into a base, becomes just a game, after all. Divisions over sexuality, politics, business and money, religion; everything in American culture now has at least two sides warring against each other. I have even seen articles claiming the homosexual movement - LGBTQ - is dropping the "T" because transgenderism is just confusing their message and bringing hilarity and disparagement down upon the serious issues they want raised about homosexual rights.
Some people get upset with me that I put down America so much. They know I do not put down principles of Americanism. I love my country. I may be late to the crisis but, I'm here, I stand for what I do, and that isn't going to change anytime soon. The other side of that coin is everything in America that stands decidedly against the principles of Americanism, and the foolishness of it all. Staying silent is tantamount to treason at this point.
Take Liz Cheney. I consider her a traitor to the GOP. Of course, the entire party is saturated with traitors to their oaths to defend the Constitution so, that's somewhat of a misnomer now. I also consider Cheney a closet Leftist, and an open totalitarian. Cheney lost her bid for reelection in the GOP primary by almost 40 points! She was run over by an anti-Cheney tank of Wyoming voters. Yet, in her totally annihilating loss she claims adherence to Abraham Lincoln, and promises to do all she can to see to it Donald Trump never returns to the White House. She is mentally deranged. The very things which caused her political downfall (and apparently she is considering a run for POTUS in '24), she raises high like some banner of triumph. Who does such stupid things as that? What absolute void of common sense do the people running this nation operate with? Liz Cheney has as much of a chance being POTUS as Biden has being coherent for any stretch of days.
America is both a laughing stock and hated around the world. Can you easily name another nation with such a reputation? One or the other, easy enough but, BOTH???
No nation in such a condition can remain standing. It isn't just improbable, it is impossible. Other nations in history have fallen to shreds and shards for much less internal fighting and convoluted governance. America remains standing because of the petrodollar. But that is now fast losing its dominant status. Other forms of currency are now on the table around the world, and the only hope the cabal of American lunatics has is war with the world to maintain control and I believe these maniacs will drive the world to the edge of extinction with their lusts for war.
Politicians now mean pretty much nothing. Yes, they make laws that ruin American freedom and liberty, taking away inalienable rights year after traitorous year but, America is not run by politicians. America is now run by banksters, the deep state cabal, and even China, which owns more land and has more of a financial grip on American debt than any other nation on the planet. Those apples cannot be eaten without choking. Communist China has more influence in Washington, D.C. that anything else on Earth. Add in all the other anti-American influences and what else can you possibly have except a recipe for demise and disaster?
Because my mind is never far away from Bible prophecy, I know America has a definitive place in it - the second beast of Rev. 13 - and it has a place in last-day events. But, honestly, America is in no condition to have a place anywhere but, a toilet right now. To change the course America is on would take a miracle, literally: a Divine intervention. OR, a false miracle of satanic intervention. Both options exist, at least in principle. No one can know what God is thinking or planning, nor can anyone know the same for Lucifer. We are all spectators in a global war for control that far transcends banksters and war machines. Regardless of how close mankind brings itself to physical extinction, the fact is, the most important factor for the human race is how it thinks.
Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mat 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Mat 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Mat 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Joh 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
Joh 5:40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
Joh 16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time comes, that whosoever kills you will think that he does God service.
Rom 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith.
1Co 8:2 And if any man think that he knows any thing, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.
1Co 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.
Gal 6:3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
Php 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Read all those passages in their context and see, how we think is everything. How we think about God is everything. How we think about paths to walk down in life is everything. How we think about ourselves is either reality or delusion.
The principle is simple: as a person thinks in their heart, so are they, Pro. 23:7.
What is America thinking? What isn't America thinking? America is losing its mind, its ability to think rationally. The young, an entire generation, have buried their faces in their cell phones and after four years of college cannot spell, cannot articulate a thought, cannot defend anything with actual facts and reason. They are opinionated empty vessels. Just listen to a man on the street report. It's astonishing the level of ignorance that exists for the most simple facts of Americanism. They have become, as a result of American education, incapable of rationale thought, and are reactionaries, useful "woke" idiots of the Left. That is not universal, of course. It is obviously a large enough chunk of American life that the nation stands on the brink of destruction because of old dinosaurs refusing to let go of control and young people not sharp or intelligent enough to take their places.
Call me a skeptic. Either God steps in or America is lost. Voting out RINOs is not the answer. Taking back America through its political process is not the answer. All that can do is slow down the demise. It will not stop it, because America thinks wrong, is mixed-up, confused on every level. Spiritual, prophetic Babylon.
Of course, any reader could say I am confused and mixed-up because my worldview is the Bible and the Bible is no longer anything but, an ancient, useless trove of antiquated information.
And the war between good and evil ramps up.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
In one week I have seen articles, commentary in major, online periodicals, that Catholicism is both going fashionably "chic," and "rad-trad Cath" is becoming popular; some kind of blowback against the Leftist, woke, mob rule attitude attempting to take control in every direction you look these days.
The other article stated the Roman Catholic Rosary is now a symbol of militant Right aggression against anything Left; a growing radicalized movement that is a dangerous rise of Catholic Conservatism in America. The article apparently caused swift reaction, including Rosaries flying off the shelves of online Catholic merchandise sites.
I was going to comment on both articles but, frankly, too much 'word salad' nonsense from both authors. Neither article made much sense. They had lots of linked examples of their points but, anything Roman Catholic that becomes "fashion" is as hollow as Biden's and Pelosi's claims of being faithful Roman Catholics.
I am a Protestant. I believe all the information is there, for centuries, to show the Roman Catholic Church is the biggest cult on Earth. That said, beads are not anymore dangerous to America than the Leftism promoted by the authors and journals painting Catholics as dangerous citizens. Every group can have its radicals by comparison to doctrinal statements and positions. Every group can have fanatics. I just find it incredibly shallow to curse religious beads while Islamic neighborhoods are rising up around America where Jihad is preached, where children are taught to hate Jews and be martyrs for Allah, where female genital mutilation exists as common practice, and where Islamic laws exist over the laws of this nation and Leftists remain silent over it all, including the position to exterminate homosexuals. The levels of hypocrisy involved in this incredible Leftist silence could shatter the windows of every building on Main Street, America.
One commenter, a Muslim, said if you want real radical behavior, forget Rome. Giving up chocolate for 40 days of Lent is nothing compared to starving yourself for 30 days of Ramadan. Catholicism is for wimps.
Frankly, both religions are man-made, human attempts at righteousness. Righteousness comes by faith in Christ, in us, through the work of the Holy Spirit in the believer. Whatever fasting may do to increase self-denial and intestinal fortitude, it can never produce righteousness. Both Islam and Catholicism are religions of man's works for salvation. Both deny a true born-again experience, what Jesus said is a MUST, not an option for salvation. "You must be born again," John 3:7.
If you actually listed all the groups in America that are against each other, the old Red Sox/Yankees rivalry; fastballs whizzing by heads and spikes held high when sliding into a base, becomes just a game, after all. Divisions over sexuality, politics, business and money, religion; everything in American culture now has at least two sides warring against each other. I have even seen articles claiming the homosexual movement - LGBTQ - is dropping the "T" because transgenderism is just confusing their message and bringing hilarity and disparagement down upon the serious issues they want raised about homosexual rights.
Some people get upset with me that I put down America so much. They know I do not put down principles of Americanism. I love my country. I may be late to the crisis but, I'm here, I stand for what I do, and that isn't going to change anytime soon. The other side of that coin is everything in America that stands decidedly against the principles of Americanism, and the foolishness of it all. Staying silent is tantamount to treason at this point.
Take Liz Cheney. I consider her a traitor to the GOP. Of course, the entire party is saturated with traitors to their oaths to defend the Constitution so, that's somewhat of a misnomer now. I also consider Cheney a closet Leftist, and an open totalitarian. Cheney lost her bid for reelection in the GOP primary by almost 40 points! She was run over by an anti-Cheney tank of Wyoming voters. Yet, in her totally annihilating loss she claims adherence to Abraham Lincoln, and promises to do all she can to see to it Donald Trump never returns to the White House. She is mentally deranged. The very things which caused her political downfall (and apparently she is considering a run for POTUS in '24), she raises high like some banner of triumph. Who does such stupid things as that? What absolute void of common sense do the people running this nation operate with? Liz Cheney has as much of a chance being POTUS as Biden has being coherent for any stretch of days.
America is both a laughing stock and hated around the world. Can you easily name another nation with such a reputation? One or the other, easy enough but, BOTH???
No nation in such a condition can remain standing. It isn't just improbable, it is impossible. Other nations in history have fallen to shreds and shards for much less internal fighting and convoluted governance. America remains standing because of the petrodollar. But that is now fast losing its dominant status. Other forms of currency are now on the table around the world, and the only hope the cabal of American lunatics has is war with the world to maintain control and I believe these maniacs will drive the world to the edge of extinction with their lusts for war.
Politicians now mean pretty much nothing. Yes, they make laws that ruin American freedom and liberty, taking away inalienable rights year after traitorous year but, America is not run by politicians. America is now run by banksters, the deep state cabal, and even China, which owns more land and has more of a financial grip on American debt than any other nation on the planet. Those apples cannot be eaten without choking. Communist China has more influence in Washington, D.C. that anything else on Earth. Add in all the other anti-American influences and what else can you possibly have except a recipe for demise and disaster?
Because my mind is never far away from Bible prophecy, I know America has a definitive place in it - the second beast of Rev. 13 - and it has a place in last-day events. But, honestly, America is in no condition to have a place anywhere but, a toilet right now. To change the course America is on would take a miracle, literally: a Divine intervention. OR, a false miracle of satanic intervention. Both options exist, at least in principle. No one can know what God is thinking or planning, nor can anyone know the same for Lucifer. We are all spectators in a global war for control that far transcends banksters and war machines. Regardless of how close mankind brings itself to physical extinction, the fact is, the most important factor for the human race is how it thinks.
Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mat 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Mat 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Mat 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Joh 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
Joh 5:40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
Joh 16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time comes, that whosoever kills you will think that he does God service.
Rom 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith.
1Co 8:2 And if any man think that he knows any thing, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.
1Co 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.
Gal 6:3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
Php 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Read all those passages in their context and see, how we think is everything. How we think about God is everything. How we think about paths to walk down in life is everything. How we think about ourselves is either reality or delusion.
The principle is simple: as a person thinks in their heart, so are they, Pro. 23:7.
What is America thinking? What isn't America thinking? America is losing its mind, its ability to think rationally. The young, an entire generation, have buried their faces in their cell phones and after four years of college cannot spell, cannot articulate a thought, cannot defend anything with actual facts and reason. They are opinionated empty vessels. Just listen to a man on the street report. It's astonishing the level of ignorance that exists for the most simple facts of Americanism. They have become, as a result of American education, incapable of rationale thought, and are reactionaries, useful "woke" idiots of the Left. That is not universal, of course. It is obviously a large enough chunk of American life that the nation stands on the brink of destruction because of old dinosaurs refusing to let go of control and young people not sharp or intelligent enough to take their places.
Call me a skeptic. Either God steps in or America is lost. Voting out RINOs is not the answer. Taking back America through its political process is not the answer.

Concepts 3 is Here
You may notice the new page added to the site - "Concepts" Recording #3.
"R.E.F, Concepts for Solo Drum Set 3, JUSSIDDOWN'N'PLAYYERDRUMS, is a collection of 12 solos not derived from any particular ideas for playing drum solos. I just sat down and played each morning over a few weeks, and whatever mind and body were linked to in the moment is what came out.
Having let go of both sales of CDs and uploading files for people, I have decided to place all three recordings on my YouTube channel, REFondrums. I'll update it when I post them.
Right now, John Mayes, guitarist and composer from West Virginia, is remixing and mastering "Concepts for Solo Drum Set 1." I sent him all the raw files yesterday, and he'll be working on them, and when he's finished, I'll upload all three albums on the channel.
His work on Concepts 2 and 3 was terrific, a real blessing, and I'm looking forward to listening to how he approaches the recording of a different drum set and its environment. He offered to do it, after listening to it again, compared to #s 2 and 3. I had not listened to it in quite awhile and when I listened the other night, I had to admit, it sounded kind of flat, all things considered and compared so, we'll let John take on the task of redoing the tracks and doing his thing.
Tom Cranor, my Miledge Muzic partner, likes to say the drums should have "sparkle," a soundfield that showcases all the drums and cymbals in my set-ups. John certainly captured that and Tom agrees, when he heard the files. They both have a philosophy of not so much augmenting the set with lots of bells and whistles but, given the size of the drum sets I use, taming the whole soundstage to allow each instrument to shine, smallest splash to largest crash and rides; 6" toms to 20" and whatever bass drums and snare drums employed.
Using the simple three-mic process really keeps things wide open and realistic. The drum set sounds beautiful. #2 and 3 were recorded with my experimental stacked plywood ring drums, and #1 was recorded with Maple drums and a few other shell configurations, including the stacked plywood set in the final drum battle. You know my philosophy and position. It's not the shell. The sound comes from the vibration and sonic propulsion from the drum heads. The shells will enhance or dehance frequencies thrown off by the heads in subtle, nuanced ways. So, in essence, the pitches of the drums on each album will be the most noticeable aspect the listener will hear.
There are hundreds of thousands of terrific players in this world today, and I am just a drop of talent in that enormous ocean. That said, I am thankful, since my stroke, that I can perform at the level I am able and am thankful to have recorded these albums towards the end of my life. I believe they can have a place at the table of 'drums only' recordings and I am yet hopeful more and more players will record albums like these. They should. If pianists and guitarists and any and all other musical instruments can have "solo" albums, so can drum set artistry. It isn't for everybody but, I reckon there is an audience that would love to hear the world's top names record albums with their talents and imaginations on display.
If and when you listen to Concepts, remember my bottom line - Nothing I do is perfect. Everything I do is passionate.
I hope I will yet have a place in music, in some way, as life heads towards sunset.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

634. Euthanasia - August 19, 2022
Where is humanity as a society, a civilization?
Below is a link to a very sobering and disturbing article on euthanasia/assisted suicide in Canada, now become the most permissive society on Earth regarding these practices.
https://apnews.com/article/covid-science-health-toronto-7c631558a457188d2bd2b5cfd360a867
The article opens with the case of a man, euthanized, whose only written reason on the form was "hearing loss." Other such cases exist and are growing. Some can be euthanized because of hearing loss? That is insane.
I have no respect for Canada simply because of its leader, Justin Trudeau. He's a totalitarian elitist, a pawn of Klaus Schwab and the world economic forum, and he's just a wimp. Yes, Jesus died for him and salvation is there should he choose it but, practically speaking, Justin Trudeau is an enemy of righteousness.
Of course, one cannot take a broad swipe at Canadians or the physical nation, which is a beautiful place with many common sense people. Yet, apparently the majority of Canadians approve of the laws regarding euthanasia, the most loose and permissive on Earth.
Many societies, for generations, millennia, have practiced the plan of placing those close to death by themselves and leaving them to die in peace. In some cultures, provisions are left with the person, yet if one investigated just a short time later, nothing was touched and the person was lying peacefully, in what the Bible refers to as "sleep." Over and over again in the Bible the 'first death' is referred to as "sleep." Sleep is a temporary situation. We go to sleep, we wake up and begin another day. God places death before us like that. We die, we know nothing of the passing of time, and some day, when Christ returns, the resurrection will take place and the righteous dead of all ages will be raised to immortal, eternal life and only an instant will have passed for each of them.
Death is not a good thing but, neither is it something to fear, for those who love God.
The fact is, in the case of Moses, it's a startling story. The Bible states -
Deut 34:7 And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
That is phenomenal testimony. Notice the scene -
Deut 34:1 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the LORD shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,
Deut 34:2 And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea,
Deut 34:3 And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar.
Deut 34:4 And the LORD said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.
Moses, because of his sin of striking the rock for water, in his anger and impatience with the people, rather than speaking to it, as God told him, was not allowed to enter the promised land. Then this is stated -
Deut 34:5 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.
Deut 34:6 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.
Moses is a 120 years old, climbs a 9,000' mountain, God shows him the land of the promised inheritance for the people, and Moses died. How? He was not sick or feeble. How did he die? Did he just lay down and ultimately starve to death? Did he just close his eyes and chose to stop living, worn out and tired? Did God cause him to die? What would that be? Would that not be euthanasia?
Over the years I have mentioned this subject I get a lot of interesting feedback. Here's the reality. Moses died. We are not told how. There are only so many options to choose from.
Well, Moses went to sleep, and that was not the end. God buried Moses. No one knows where. Well, Satan knew. He watched it all and the little book of Jude gives us an amazing insight into what happened.
Jude 1:9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
What a scene! God buries Moses. Then resurrects him to eternal life. Satan says, "NO! You cannot have him! He is mine!" Mikael, "who is like God," the commander of the heavenly host, indeed, one of the varying names of Christ in Scripture, Michael, came down and did not hassle with Satan. He did not rile at him at all his wickedness and fault for causing Moses to stumble with his constant temptations on his soul. He just said, "Yehovah rebukes you! Stand aside! This is none of your business!" And he took the body of Moses and gave it new life and Moses went to heaven. How do we know this? The Mount of Transfiguration -
Mat 17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
Mat 17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
Mat 17:3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
Mat 17:4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
Mat 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
Mat 17:6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
Mat 17:7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
Mat 17:8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
Mat 17:9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
This special occasion was to be a blessing for these three disciples; one murdered and martyred, one crucified upside down at the close of his important ministry to the house of Israel, and one, living the longest, seeing the actual apostasy begin in the church at the close of the first century, standing up against it, and finally dying of old age after decades of hardship, persecution and faithful service. Peter, James and his brother John saw Christ transfigured to shine in glory as He shall appear when He returns again. Moses and Elijah spoke with Him. We know not what they spoke about but, some logic helps us understand what might have taken place. They were encouraging Christ to carry on because the day shall come when it shall be worth it all. Moses represented the righteous dead of all ages, resurrected to eternal life. Elijah, translated to Heaven, alive, represents those who shall be alive and changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump, made immortal when Christ returns. The righteous of all ages shall meet on that fantastic day.
I have no idea how Moses died but, he did, somehow, and was resurrected.
Suffering is part of life because of the reign of sin in this world, and an enemy and his hordes who bring about suffering in their war against God. Who can say how much suffering any one person should take? Me? You? We have no such authority. God, alone, has authority over life and death.
I don't know what happened to Moses on top of Mt. Pisgah. Because we do not specifically know, it behooves us to tread carefully with the idea of death. Death with dignity. Of course, what seems to be happening is life with dignity is no longer considered an option for people in the medical fields.
During the plandemic, the hospitals became the killing fields. For money, federal reimbursement, people were not only allowed to die but, set up to die, all over the world. Ventilators, drugs, lungs fill up with fluid, people died who could have easily been saved by any number of protocols used by courageous physicians in the face of global, medical despotism.
I've been sick for a month. I may have this cough for a lot longer. That said, every day I get stronger and cough less. No doctor. No hospital. No Covid protocols. My immune system fighting back. Thank God.
Based on the Bible, I could not say it is wrong for people to choose to die. It has taken place in cultures for thousands of years, and the story of Moses offers its interesting lack of specific information. Why? It is an individual thing. There is no rule for all. Remember, Moses was not facing death from illness. He was not feeble. Yet, he died atop Pisgah, some how, some way. For those facing great suffering and terminal illness... I am not going to say they have to experience that. That is for them to address and deal with.
Just the same, with abortion and euthanasia, it has become obvious the cult of death is worldwide and growing. It's alarming, and it's a huge sign of the times.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Suffering is part of life because of the reign of sin in this world, and an enemy and his hordes who bring about suffering in their war against God. Who can say how much suffering any one person should take? Me? You? We have no such authority. God, alone, has authority over life and death.
I don't know what happened to Moses on top of Mt. Pisgah. Because we do not specifically know, it behooves us to tread carefully with the idea of death. Death with dignity. Of course, what seems to be happening is life with dignity is no longer considered an option for people in the medical fields.
During the plandemic, the hospitals became the killing fields. For money, federal reimbursement, people were not only allowed to die but, set up to die, all over the world. Ventilators, drugs, lungs fill up with fluid, people died who could have easily been saved by any number of protocols used by courageous physicians in the face of global, medical despotism.
I've been sick for a month. I may have this cough for a lot longer. That said, every day I get stronger and cough less. No doctor. No hospital. No Covid protocols. My immune system fighting back. Thank God.
Based on the Bible, I could not say it is wrong for people to choose to die. It has taken place in cultures for thousands of years, and the story of Moses offers its interesting lack of specific information. Why? It is an individual thing. There is no rule for all. Remember, Moses was not facing death from illness. He was not feeble. Yet, he died atop Pisgah, some how, some way. For those facing great suffering and terminal illness... I am not going to say they have to experience that. That is for them to address and deal with.
Just the same, with abortion and euthanasia, it has become obvious the cult of death is worldwide and growing. It's alarming, and it's a huge sign of the times.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

635. The Mind of 1's and 0's? - August 20, 2022
As A.I. becomes a greater and greater commodity in the business and manufacturing world, as well as the world of science and research, artificial intelligence, artificial consciousness are being discussed with greater and greater interest and vigor.
The Materialist, by his or her own standard, believes everything that is has a natural origin. Peel back skin and take away bone and the surgeon sees a human brain; cells that make up regions, that either permit or prevent thousands of actions humans perform every day. Yet, all admit, a brain is not conscience. There may be a place in the brain where guilt, where conscience functions, or seems to function but, brain cells cannot cause guilt. Brain cells cannot be the origin for a guilty conscience.
If someone denies feeling guilt, ever, we generally see a narcissistic person, with an orbit all about self. No one that lives has ever gone through life without saying or doing something wrong. Where does "wrong" come from? The Materialist would say, human constructs; totally man-made intrusion into our brains by the constant pressing of ideas and standards upon people. I wonder what man-made construct causes people to feel many different things when someone kicks a dog. If someone feels nothing to see a man kick a dog, we normally refer to such a person as sociopathic. They have no sense of compassion, no sense of right or wrong. Everything just is. But, why is it that all humanity are not that way, seeing we are all just chemicals? Chemicals do not have a conscience. Chemicals do not care. Chemicals know nothing of right and wrong. Even a young baby will become frightened and cry if someone kicks a dog. Why should it have such a reaction? There has been no time for parental influence. It's a new brain without all the constructs pressed into it.
The reason Christians believe the brain is different than the mind is because humanity thinks and responds, makes decisions, and the same can be said for the entire animal kingdom. Will materialists attempt to tell us constructs are pressed into the animal brain? Dog's feel guilt because of brain cells affected by... centuries of dogs tearing apart pillows and getting reprimanded for it? Are they serious? Dogs rush into a building on fire and bark at the inhabitants to wake them up and save them because that construct has been pressed into their minds by... what? Lassie reruns?
Brains are chemicals. Chemicals do not pass along memory and information by accident. Calling DNA an accident is like calling a satellite an accident. Matter of fact, there is nothing in existence at the hands of man that can be compared to a cell and DNA and all else that exists in a cell. Nothing is that complex. An accident? How can reasoning, thinking human beings believe such a nonsensical thing?
Life, real, sentient life is not 1's and 0's. It is artificial intelligence. It may surpass human intelligence. It already has. Far surpassed it. It may develop artificial compassion, artificial emotions through and through but, the human mind is not the motherboard of a computer.
That is why all humans vary on favorite colors, music, foods, clothing, housing and decorative aspects of them. Some people look at the stars and are blown away. Others look at flowers for the same sense of being, sentience. Humans sense purpose. Chemicals can have no such sense.
I had a passing discussion with a guitarist over a favorite guitarist of theirs. For me, no particular bells were chimed. Other guitarists affect my musical senses more. That is not to take away the talents or my friend's perspectives on a favorite guitarist. It is to say humans are variable because of our minds, our sentience and conscience. Our minds perceive things differently. That is especially the case with the arts. That is not chance. That is not natural consequence of cells making up a brain. That is all design from a Designer.
Chemicals do not care about music. We must ask ourselves how music can even exist, if all life is about nothing more than cells seeking to survive. Chemicals don't care about melody, harmony or rhythm. The mind does. Chemicals do not care about colors and the hundreds of thousands of varying shades that can be created. That is design. Humans design because a Designer created them to function that way. We are made in the image of God.
Green is my favorite color, dark green. Why? I have no idea. Green strikes me in a pleasing way where blue strikes someone else or red or yellow. That is not brain cells. That is the mind. Materialists cannot say, Here are the brain cells choosing for you to like dark green more than dark blue. That's ridiculous.
Dolphins are considered intelligent. They think, reason and act, sometimes helping human beings in dangerous situations. That is not brain cells. That is the Creator's hand upon dolphin design and perceptions of sentience. But, dolphins are never going to design and build a marina. They are not going to evolve into something else, just as humans are not going to evolve into something else, despite those in the lunatic, elitist community planning on it, with transhumanism.
Materialists like to say given enough time a chimpanzee could type out a book. Everything is about time. It is a nonsensical proposition. It can be stated but, without evidence, it is nonsense being palmed off as some kind of science. No amount of time will aid a chimpanzee to type a book by accident. No amount of time will aid a chimp to type one page of coherent information. They were not designed to accomplish such a task and have no reason to proceed with such a task. Time will not produce design. Certainly not complexity of design. It is truly a fool's errand to claim everything is here by chance, by accident, by mistakes; mutations. Life, itself, is nothing close to being something produced by an accident of a pool of chemicals hanging around in some hot water waiting to be struck by lightening. That is literally, a fairytale. It's a story.
My story is that God changed my mind. No accident. No chance. No mistake. Reason and choice. Actions of a mind, under conviction, beyond brain cells and chemicals. I was an atheist. God changed my mind with His Word; the astonishing proclamations and accuracy of Bible prophecy.
Rejecting the Materialist worldview is the easiest thing to do, if one uses, just some common sense. Add to that the living testimony of a Creator and grand Designer, that changes the lives of people who connect to Him, changes their minds about Him; no longer natural enemies but, friends? It all fits together because it was designed to do so. It is reasonable. It is conclusive. And including a book which tells the end from the beginning, to guide people along their journey, prophetic information that cannot possibly be chance but, the guidance of a mind, and the worldview of those who believe in such purpose are those who protect the world from utter savagery and extinction.
No, don't tell me about religious persecution as a reason to deny a biblical worldview. True believers do not persecute. They love. They are changed to love. They are changed to forgive. They do not persecute or kill people for believing differently. All are given a time to live, however short it may be, for God to see what and where the mind is at, and whether that person can safely be taken into the kingdom of God when Christ returns.
"Affliction will not rise up a second time." Nahum 1:9
People can profess anything. They can profess to be Christians. Their actions either bolster up or betray their profession of faith. Religionists are responsible for some of the worst persecutions and deaths in human history. They had no connection to their Creator. They may have had connection to forms and rituals. They may have had connections to the 1's and 0's of the Christian faith as they perceived them but, their minds were not changed. Their brains functioned. They could think. They could reason. They could choose. Their minds were not in harmony with truth and the principles of the kingdom of God so they thought, reasoned and chose wickedness towards their fellow man and made it all worse by claiming it was all in the name of God. Abomination!
There is as much artificial religion in our world, more of that, than all the 1's and 0's in all the programs operating in computers around the world. Artificial intelligence may discern or conclude the senselessness of kicking a dog. On the other hand, it may choose to realize humanity is unnecessary for the world to function and operate. That is the thing being discussed. That is the fear underlying all A.I. development. A.I. will never have a mind under the control of the Holy Spirit. It will always be 1's and 0's. 1's and 0's are not the connection to the mind of God.
Humanity is ceaselessly bringing itself to the end of all things. Satan has blinded the minds of those who do not believe, 2Cor. 4:4. He has not blinded their brain cells. He has blinded their minds.
Jer 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?
Jer 17:10 I, Jehovah, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings. ASV
Heb 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
Heb 8:11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
Heb 8:12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
Heb 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
Heb 10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
God seeks to change people's minds. He seeks people open to the process of putting His laws into our minds, writing them upon our "hearts," the inner man of conscience and consciousness, that man obeys, naturally, supernaturally, connected to Him.
God is love. He can be experienced because He has given us, not just a brain but, a mind.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

636. Greg Laurie - Does He Speak Truth? - August 20, 2022
Does truth mean anything anymore?
Someone says, "Ray, just because you believe it, does not make it true."
I answer, "Just because you do not believe it, makes it true."
When Jesus stood before Pilot, he asked Him, "What is truth?"
Deep, serious question. Pilot attempted to wash his hands of having any responsibility in the death of Christ. Did his actions answer his question?
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." Jesus is the truth. He did not just speak truth. He is the truth. John wrote that Christ is the Word.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3 All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made.
John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
John 1:5 And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not.
This is heavy stuff. Jesus Christ, Yeshua Messiah, is the Word, with God from all eternity because the Word is God, and the Word made everything. The Word of God, the way, the truth and the life to God, is God, the Son, and made everything; the universe, all of it. Everything. He is light, came into this world of darkness and was rejected and killed.
We lost power last night for a couple hours. When my laptop battery got real low, I turned off the computer and when that screen went off, it was black in here. Literally. I got up and felt my way past some furniture and walked straight into other stuff. I was way off where my mind told me I needed to be. I made it to the hutch, where all the flashlights are. Felt for the right drawer knob and grabbed one and when I turned it on, the whole area was easily visible. Light went everywhere. Just turning the flashlight on sent light in every direction, reflecting off things. It was well received. I was happy for some light.
Christ came to this world, this dark world; a world darkened by sin and rebellion and the woe that comes with them, and rather than welcoming the light, the world rejected it and chose darkness. That is obviously spiritual darkness, ignorance, lies, the things Lucifer's kingdom is based upon.
Now, ask yourself WHY? Why would people have chosen lies over truth?
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
John 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
John 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
People reject truth, reject light because their characters are exposed, their deeds exposed and they are evil and people don't want them uncovered yet, rather than get rid of them, they want them, and do not want anything or anyone to come along and tell them they must go.
You can do evil or you can do the truth. Interesting. It is not just about believing the truth. You have to do the truth: live it. Would you not have to know the truth to live the truth?
The essence of this is not just doctrine. The essence of this is Jesus. Knowing doctrine does not save anyone. It might make you very biblically literate but, that does not mean your character has been affected by it, to do the truth. That takes a change. A big change. That takes being born again, which Jesus spoke to Nicodemus about in the beginning of John, chapter 3.
Nicodemus didn't get it. Born again? How can a man go back into his mother's womb and be born again? How indeed. So, Jesus told him. This is a spiritual change, rebirth, new life. It's like the wind. You hear it but, you do not see it. It is there, and you know it but, cannot tell where it came from or how or why. It is just there, unmistakably there. It is a mystery. Such is the born again experience. Change takes place. You know it. You can sense it. You cannot logically or physically explain it but, you know the reality of it.
Nicodemus came around and understood after Christ was crucified and rose from the tomb. Truth came to life.
I saw a headline yesterday that research shows people lie in some way, at least four times a day. Might be something thought to be trivial like, "You look nice today," when you truthfully think their clothes are ugly. It could be far more serious in nature. Four times a day, on average, truth means nothing to people. It can sidestepped for convenience, for hiding true feelings, for ambition, for subterfuge, for any reason one thinks is more important than truth.
Is this statement true:
"Bob Saget made this statement on Instagram after Betty [White] passed:
“She always said the love of her life was her husband, Allen Ludden, who she lost in 1981. Well, if things work out by Betty’s design— in the afterlife, they are reunited. I don’t know what happens when we die, but if Betty says you get to be with the love of your life, then I happily defer to Betty on this.”
He honestly added, “I don’t know what happens when we die.”
That's a passage from an Op/Ed piece by Greg Laurie, pastor of a 15,000 member mega church in California.
https://christiannewsjournal.com/greg-laurie-bob-saget-norm-macdonald-betty-white-and-the-afterlife/
Is that statement truth? For Bob Saget it was truth, as far as he accepted it. Is Betty White with her husband, Allen Ludden right now, in heaven? Is that the truth?
From the article:
"Larry King asked [Norm] Macdonald about his “religious views” in an interview.
“I’m a Christian,” Macdonald replied. “It’s not stylish to say that now.”
Larry King then asked, “Are you devout? … You believe in the Lord?”
“Yes, I do,” Macdonald said.
"Larry did not know he was interviewing a man facing death every day in his fight with cancer. He then asked Macdonald, “You think that you’re going somewhere when (life) ends?”
"Norm said he did.
"Larry said he could not believe in an afterlife because of all the evil in the world.
"Norm responded, “It sounds like you have a God-shaped hole in your heart.”
"Larry did. We all do."
Is this the truth? Did Norm MacDonald experience an afterlife of existence straight into Heaven when he died?
What about Larry King?
More from the article:
"I am not an expert on the afterlife, but I am a student, not only because I am a Christian and a pastor, but also because my son, Christopher, died in 2008. I have thought deeply about what happens when we leave this life and enter the next one. Here is what has brought endless comfort to me: There is a Heaven, and Jesus has made a way for us all to go there.
"Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying” (John 11:25).
"My son believed in Jesus as I do. He is now in Heaven.
"For the Christian, the moment we take our last breath on earth, we take our next breath in Heaven. Because Jesus died on the cross for my sins and rose again, I have hope for the afterlife. And I know that I will see my son again."
Are those statements truth? You take your last breath on Earth and your next breath is in Heaven or consequently, you take your last breath on Earth and your next is in "Hell?" Is that the truth? Because the pastor of a 15,000 member church believes it, does that make it truth? Because of his grief over the loss of his son, and the endless hope it gives him, is his understanding of John 11:25 the truth?
"Now Norm, Larry, Betty and Bob are in the afterlife. And one day, you will be too. You decide in this life where you will spend the afterlife."
Is that a truthful statement? I reject them all as erroneous, untruthful, and really quite naive for someone in the ministry.
Now, who/what decides what is truth? We have seen Jesus said He is the truth. That's the bottom line. He is truth, He taught truth. If you are going by the Bible, that is the truth.
But, what about death and the afterlife? What is the truth? I have written on the subject a lot here in the last couple of years. Lets get into the Bible.
1. Show me the passage of Scripture that states, unequivocally, that man has some kind of ghostlike entity living inside him that gets out at death. I know the Greek philosopher Plato believed that and popularized the notion. Show it to me in Scripture. It does not exist. A human is a physical being, (Body) with an emotional life nature (Soul), and an intellectual life nature (Spirit), which are to be sanctified, 1 Thes 5:23.
2. The wages of sin is death, Rom 6:23. The gift of God is everlasting life. Given. The question is, when does the Bible state that gift is given? At death?
3. Students of the Bible down through history testify that the gift of eternal life is given at the second coming of Christ and the resurrection of the righteous to immortal, eternal life.
a. Lazarus died. Jesus said he was sleeping. Oh, great, the disciples said. Let's go wake him up. Lazarus is dead, replied Jesus. Confused, they all went to Lazarus' home where his sisters told Jesus he died and had been dead four days. Buried in the sepulcher, his body would have begun to break down and smell. Jesus raised Lazarus from the 'sleep' of death, the temporary state of the dead. Lazarus was not in Heaven, was not told, Sorry, you have to go down and take up residence in your body again. Lazarus had not a word to say about going to Heaven for four days. He had nothing to say because he was dead, wrapped in burial clothes and Jesus raised him from death. John 11:1-44. Take particular notice of verses 22-27. Notice what the truth was for Mary. She believed Lazarus would rise again at the last day, resurrection day. According to Greg Laurie, Jesus said if you believe in Him you will never die. So, Lazarus was in Heaven. Problem? Obviously. Jesus said Lazarus was DEAD, sleeping the temporary death of the wages of sin. Lazarus was about to experience the gift of God. Jesus said Lazarus would never die. He did not say Lazarus would never "sleep." Do you see the tremendous difference? Do you see the necessity of allowing the Bible to interpret itself? Lazarus came back to life and would again die and sleep the temporary cessation of life in a grave. Talk about a testimony to give everyone he met. "What was death like, Lazarus?" "Well, I don't know. I was not aware of anything, just like the Torah says," Ecc 9:5,6.
b. King David lived and died. Is he in Heaven? Did he go immediately to Heaven upon his death? He did not. On the day of Pentecost, Peter told the throngs gathered that David was dead, buried and his grave was with them to that day, occupied but, the grave of Yeshua is empty! Jesus suffered the second death, the final death of sin and sinners, paid the ultimate price, and He lives because death could not hold Him. Acts 2:22-36. I reckon if King David is not in Heaven neither is Norm MacDonald, Bob Saget, Betty White, or Greg Laurie's son.
c. Job had as much to say about death as any one in the Bible. Watch.
3:13-22 - Everybody, meaning everybody dies and goes to their grave, young and old, rich or poor, the grave is the great equalizer of mankind.
Job 7:21 And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.
Job had no knowledge of dying and going to Heaven. Zip. He wanted to die; he was in pain, suffering, and longed for death; the temporary sleep in his grave, in the dust of the Earth.
Job 14:10 But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
Ah! There it is. Man dies and a ghost leaves him? Is that the truth? First, look at the rest of the passage -
Job 14:11 As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:
Job 14:12 So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
Job 14:13 O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
Job 14:14 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
Job 14:15 Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.
Job expected a sleep in his grave till his change came, till the set appointed time came, when the voice of God shall raise the dead from their graves to immortal life, which will happen at the second coming of Christ, the end of the world. That's what Job believed. But, what about that ghost?
How about a few other translations?
Job 14:10 But man dies and is cut off, and man expires; and where is he? LITV
Job 14:10 But a man that has died is utterly gone; and when a mortal has fallen, he is no more. Brenton's English Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible.

Job 14:10 But man dieth, and lieth low; yea, man perisheth, and where is he? Jewish Publication Society OT
Job 14:10 And a man dieth, and becometh weak, And man expireth, and where is he? YLT
Job 14:10 But a man dies and is laid low; he breathes his last and is no more. NIV

Job 14:10 But a person dies and fades away; he breathes his last—where is he? CSB
Job 14:10 But if a man dies, he shrivels away. When a person breathes his last, where is he? EHV
Just go to this site and read. The vast majority of translations translate the Hebrew word, "gava" to breathe his last, to expire. Dozens of translations are shown. The King James translators could have done a better job on that passage.

And I'm not done with Job, yet.
Job 17:13 If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.
Job 17:14 I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.
Job 17:15 And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
Job 17:16 They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.
Does it sound to you like Job knew he had a ghost leaving his body and zipping off to Heaven when he died? Job knew he would die and go to a grave and "sleep," and await resurrection day with everybody else.
Job 27:3 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
Did Job have a ghost living in his nose?
At one point in the book, Elihu decided to rebuke Job. In his rebuke he states:
Job 33:4 The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
So, Job knew what was coming. He would breathe his last, the breath of God would leave him, and he would die, "sleep" in his dusty bed with the rest of humanity until the time of his change came. Elihu knew that what is in us is the breath of God, not some mysterious ghostly entity that gets out at death. Mary knew it. Peter knew it. All Hebrews knowledgeable in the Scriptures knew the truth. They made up the church when Christ, the truth, was here.
The Bible is truth and it is meant to be studied, and allowed to interpret itself, which it will, if left to do so but, men read things into it, they shove into it their preconceived notions or traditions and rob the truth of its power.
There are dozens and dozens of places in the Bible where the truth of life, death, and afterlife are delineated. We are born, we live, we die, we "sleep" in our graves and some day, hopefully soon, Christ will return and call the righteous from their dusty beds and change them all, every molecule, into immortal, eternal beings. What a day that shall be.
Some ask, but what of man returning to the dirt he came from? How can God raise dust? He's the Creator. That shall be no feat for Him. All the martyrs burned at the stake and their ashes scattered, God knows every atom and will pull them all together in newness of immortal life. He is God. There is nothing too hard for Him.
Do not miss this aspect of God referring to man's first death as a "sleep." Once you "see it," you will see it all throughout Scripture. It will jump out at you and you will wonder how you could have missed it before.
1Ki 2:10 So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
1Ki 11:43 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
1Ki 14:20 And the days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his stead.
1Ki 14:31 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead.
1Ki 15:8 And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.
1Ki 15:24 And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead.
The entire books of Kings are laid out like that, as well as passages in Chronicles. Each king died, "slept" with their fathers in their graves, and await a resurrection day: at the second coming of Christ or 1,000 years later at the Great White Throne judgment, the destruction of planet Earth and the second death, Rev 20.
The whole Bible should be studied and used to understand the truth of any subject.
People reject the biblical nature of this truth because it does not side with their traditions, their doctrines and they never actually checked to see if it harmonizes with the entire testimony of the Bible on this subject. I have talked to pastors who saw the truth and admitted they never studied this out, they just believed what they heard all their years of life in their churches and in seminary.
Greg Laurie may be a really nice guy, and be a good shepherd for his flock, I don't know. I know what he believes about an afterlife is just plain wrong, and that means he is teaching thousands of people wrong, and people who read his articles are being led astray from the truth.
There is no excuse. The Bible is saturated with truth on this subject. If you just let the Bible interpret itself, it is impossible to miss this truth and the same goes for the lies about a currently existing "hell" as well, where people instantly go when they take their last breath and burn away forever. That ghastly false doctrine has turned more people from God than any other lie in history. It made me an atheist when I was a young boy in the Catholic Church.
Laurie says we all choose where we spend the afterlife. Nay. That is God's choice, and the parameters of that choice are His to decide based on the life we choose to live. No human, nor Lucifer kindles the supposed fires of hell wherever it supposedly is. According to the only logical conclusion of "popular" doctrine and belief, God, alone, can ignite that magic fire that never goes out and sends people there. The savage nature of this great lie is one of the greatest attacks on the character of God ever put forth and why I write on it often, because I see it over and over and over and it all lacks the truth of a consistent testimony from Scripture.
Truth means something, regardless of humanity not caring about it. All will stand before God in due time and answer for their lives in regard to the truth. God's children have Christ for their defense attorney, their Advocate. Those rejecting Christ's ministry for humanity will have to defend themselves. Good luck with that.
If lies comfort people, what do you suppose Satan is planning for his last deceptions?
He that has ears to hear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the church this day.
Someone says, "Ray, just because you believe it, does not make it true."
I answer, "Just because you do not believe it, makes it true."
When Jesus stood before Pilot, he asked Him, "What is truth?"
Deep, serious question. Pilot attempted to wash his hands of having any responsibility in the death of Christ. Did his actions answer his question?
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." Jesus is the truth. He did not just speak truth. He is the truth. John wrote that Christ is the Word.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3 All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made.
John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
John 1:5 And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not.
This is heavy stuff. Jesus Christ, Yeshua Messiah, is the Word, with God from all eternity because the Word is God, and the Word made everything. The Word of God, the way, the truth and the life to God, is God, the Son, and made everything; the universe, all of it. Everything. He is light, came into this world of darkness and was rejected and killed.
We lost power last night for a couple hours. When my laptop battery got real low, I turned off the computer and when that screen went off, it was black in here. Literally. I got up and felt my way past some furniture and walked straight into other stuff. I was way off where my mind told me I needed to be. I made it to the hutch, where all the flashlights are. Felt for the right drawer knob and grabbed one and when I turned it on, the whole area was easily visible. Light went everywhere. Just turning the flashlight on sent light in every direction, reflecting off things. It was well received. I was happy for some light.
Christ came to this world, this dark world; a world darkened by sin and rebellion and the woe that comes with them, and rather than welcoming the light, the world rejected it and chose darkness. That is obviously spiritual darkness, ignorance, lies, the things Lucifer's kingdom is based upon.
Now, ask yourself WHY? Why would people have chosen lies over truth?
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
John 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
John 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
People reject truth, reject light because their characters are exposed, their deeds exposed and they are evil and people don't want them uncovered yet, rather than get rid of them, they want them, and do not want anything or anyone to come along and tell them they must go.
You can do evil or you can do the truth. Interesting. It is not just about believing the truth. You have to do the truth: live it. Would you not have to know the truth to live the truth?
The essence of this is not just doctrine. The essence of this is Jesus. Knowing doctrine does not save anyone. It might make you very biblically literate but, that does not mean your character has been affected by it, to do the truth. That takes a change. A big change. That takes being born again, which Jesus spoke to Nicodemus about in the beginning of John, chapter 3.
Nicodemus didn't get it. Born again? How can a man go back into his mother's womb and be born again? How indeed. So, Jesus told him. This is a spiritual change, rebirth, new life. It's like the wind. You hear it but, you do not see it. It is there, and you know it but, cannot tell where it came from or how or why. It is just there, unmistakably there. It is a mystery. Such is the born again experience. Change takes place. You know it. You can sense it. You cannot logically or physically explain it but, you know the reality of it.
Nicodemus came around and understood after Christ was crucified and rose from the tomb. Truth came to life.
I saw a headline yesterday that research shows people lie in some way, at least four times a day. Might be something thought to be trivial like, "You look nice today," when you truthfully think their clothes are ugly. It could be far more serious in nature. Four times a day, on average, truth means nothing to people. It can sidestepped for convenience, for hiding true feelings, for ambition, for subterfuge, for any reason one thinks is more important than truth.
Is this statement true:
"Bob Saget made this statement on Instagram after Betty [White] passed:
“She always said the love of her life was her husband, Allen Ludden, who she lost in 1981. Well, if things work out by Betty’s design— in the afterlife, they are reunited. I don’t know what happens when we die, but if Betty says you get to be with the love of your life, then I happily defer to Betty on this.”
He honestly added, “I don’t know what happens when we die.”
That's a passage from an Op/Ed piece by Greg Laurie, pastor of a 15,000 member mega church in California.
https://christiannewsjournal.com/greg-laurie-bob-saget-norm-macdonald-betty-white-and-the-afterlife/
Is that statement truth? For Bob Saget it was truth, as far as he accepted it. Is Betty White with her husband, Allen Ludden right now, in heaven? Is that the truth?
From the article:
"Larry King asked [Norm] Macdonald about his “religious views” in an interview.
“I’m a Christian,” Macdonald replied. “It’s not stylish to say that now.”
Larry King then asked, “Are you devout? … You believe in the Lord?”
“Yes, I do,” Macdonald said.
"Larry did not know he was interviewing a man facing death every day in his fight with cancer. He then asked Macdonald, “You think that you’re going somewhere when (life) ends?”
"Norm said he did.
"Larry said he could not believe in an afterlife because of all the evil in the world.
"Norm responded, “It sounds like you have a God-shaped hole in your heart.”
"Larry did. We all do."
Is this the truth? Did Norm MacDonald experience an afterlife of existence straight into Heaven when he died?
What about Larry King?
More from the article:
"I am not an expert on the afterlife, but I am a student, not only because I am a Christian and a pastor, but also because my son, Christopher, died in 2008. I have thought deeply about what happens when we leave this life and enter the next one. Here is what has brought endless comfort to me: There is a Heaven, and Jesus has made a way for us all to go there.
"Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying” (John 11:25).
"My son believed in Jesus as I do. He is now in Heaven.
"For the Christian, the moment we take our last breath on earth, we take our next breath in Heaven. Because Jesus died on the cross for my sins and rose again, I have hope for the afterlife. And I know that I will see my son again."
Are those statements truth? You take your last breath on Earth and your next breath is in Heaven or consequently, you take your last breath on Earth and your next is in "Hell?" Is that the truth? Because the pastor of a 15,000 member church believes it, does that make it truth? Because of his grief over the loss of his son, and the endless hope it gives him, is his understanding of John 11:25 the truth?
"Now Norm, Larry, Betty and Bob are in the afterlife. And one day, you will be too. You decide in this life where you will spend the afterlife."
Is that a truthful statement? I reject them all as erroneous, untruthful, and really quite naive for someone in the ministry.
Now, who/what decides what is truth? We have seen Jesus said He is the truth. That's the bottom line. He is truth, He taught truth. If you are going by the Bible, that is the truth.
But, what about death and the afterlife? What is the truth? I have written on the subject a lot here in the last couple of years. Lets get into the Bible.
1. Show me the passage of Scripture that states, unequivocally, that man has some kind of ghostlike entity living inside him that gets out at death. I know the Greek philosopher Plato believed that and popularized the notion. Show it to me in Scripture. It does not exist. A human is a physical being, (Body) with an emotional life nature (Soul), and an intellectual life nature (Spirit), which are to be sanctified, 1 Thes 5:23.
2. The wages of sin is death, Rom 6:23. The gift of God is everlasting life. Given. The question is, when does the Bible state that gift is given? At death?
3. Students of the Bible down through history testify that the gift of eternal life is given at the second coming of Christ and the resurrection of the righteous to immortal, eternal life.
a. Lazarus died. Jesus said he was sleeping. Oh, great, the disciples said. Let's go wake him up. Lazarus is dead, replied Jesus. Confused, they all went to Lazarus' home where his sisters told Jesus he died and had been dead four days. Buried in the sepulcher, his body would have begun to break down and smell. Jesus raised Lazarus from the 'sleep' of death, the temporary state of the dead. Lazarus was not in Heaven, was not told, Sorry, you have to go down and take up residence in your body again. Lazarus had not a word to say about going to Heaven for four days. He had nothing to say because he was dead, wrapped in burial clothes and Jesus raised him from death. John 11:1-44. Take particular notice of verses 22-27. Notice what the truth was for Mary. She believed Lazarus would rise again at the last day, resurrection day. According to Greg Laurie, Jesus said if you believe in Him you will never die. So, Lazarus was in Heaven. Problem? Obviously. Jesus said Lazarus was DEAD, sleeping the temporary death of the wages of sin. Lazarus was about to experience the gift of God. Jesus said Lazarus would never die. He did not say Lazarus would never "sleep." Do you see the tremendous difference? Do you see the necessity of allowing the Bible to interpret itself? Lazarus came back to life and would again die and sleep the temporary cessation of life in a grave. Talk about a testimony to give everyone he met. "What was death like, Lazarus?" "Well, I don't know. I was not aware of anything, just like the Torah says," Ecc 9:5,6.
b. King David lived and died. Is he in Heaven? Did he go immediately to Heaven upon his death? He did not. On the day of Pentecost, Peter told the throngs gathered that David was dead, buried and his grave was with them to that day, occupied but, the grave of Yeshua is empty! Jesus suffered the second death, the final death of sin and sinners, paid the ultimate price, and He lives because death could not hold Him. Acts 2:22-36. I reckon if King David is not in Heaven neither is Norm MacDonald, Bob Saget, Betty White, or Greg Laurie's son.
c. Job had as much to say about death as any one in the Bible. Watch.
3:13-22 - Everybody, meaning everybody dies and goes to their grave, young and old, rich or poor, the grave is the great equalizer of mankind.
Job 7:21 And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.
Job had no knowledge of dying and going to Heaven. Zip. He wanted to die; he was in pain, suffering, and longed for death; the temporary sleep in his grave, in the dust of the Earth.
Job 14:10 But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
Ah! There it is. Man dies and a ghost leaves him? Is that the truth? First, look at the rest of the passage -
Job 14:11 As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:
Job 14:12 So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
Job 14:13 O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
Job 14:14 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
Job 14:15 Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.
Job expected a sleep in his grave till his change came, till the set appointed time came, when the voice of God shall raise the dead from their graves to immortal life, which will happen at the second coming of Christ, the end of the world. That's what Job believed. But, what about that ghost?

Forces at Work Will Collide
Commenting on politics is not my thing. I see the political world as the biggest collection of hypocrites and traitors to oaths imaginable and nothing they say, any of them, can mean anything more than whatever it takes to get elected and reelected. Yes, I am a hard-case skeptic. Obviously. Nothing has happened to change that. More things have happened to reinforce that.
Take a gander at the two links below. One is to a Steve Bannon commentary on how the Uniparty is showing its fear of the American waking populace. The other is a look into what the Uniparty is, in fact. They are two private corporations, businesses, that make money. They have nothing to do with the actual polity of a Constitutional government. They are not part of the Founder's conceived fabric of national existence. They exist to make money. They make money by choosing, owning and moving candidates around to win elections, to then fortify the corporate interests engaged in money-making who get these chosen pawns elected each cycle. Over time, it becomes moot which party wins an election. All interests are financial and corporate. Uniparty.
I remain convinced that if God does not step in and save America, America cannot and will not be saved. It certainly cannot and will not be saved by politics and the voting booth. No way. Entrenched evil is way too deep for elections to remove it from power.

If you had 50 states with Kari Lakes for governors, you'd have the makings of civil war because whatever governors are in state seats means little to Federal power and abuse. Better, would be true, constitutional judges, not political activists called upon by whatever group in power to back up whatever they want. That plays out daily all across the nation.
The reality is, America's problems are not political. Political corruption exists because America's problems are wholly and entirely cultural and spiritual.
Yeah, I know. America/Americans are not going to repent. That means God will take one or the other position. His judgments will be seen throughout the land, in an attempt to bring America to repentance or, "Ephraim is joined to idols. Let him alone," will be the course, and God will let America reap what it has sown.
Broken record. Yes, I know that. For those too young to know, a broken record is one where the needle meets resistance in the vinyl grooves at some point and just skips and repeats, over and over.
Hey, show me evidence I am wrong. I'm open.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

637. Gout!?! - August 24, 2022
About a year ago I was sanding and finishing drum shells. Before tack cloth and applying finish, I wanted to vacuum the shells. I took the top of the unit off; the handle and pipe, and placed it on the floor on the other side of my trainer. I put a brush on the hose and vacuumed the shells, then put some finish on them. When round 1 of all the shells was completed, I decided to work out a little. I grabbed the handles of the trainer and swung my left leg over the sliding bench and came down hard on the vacuum handle, I forgot was laying there.
Instant, searing pain shot through my foot. Swelling, bright red, then the typical blues and purples told me I either broke some bones or tore some tendons or both. It was weeks before I could walk without limping and months before I could walk comfortably. I could play drums after awhile. That didn't require the same bending movement as walking did but, it was still less than comfortable.
Then this year, recurring pain and swelling began to take place in that foot. I assumed it was some kind of connection to the accident, like breaking a bone and feeling it when the weather is just right; a residual effect of some kind. When the fourth bout of this happened, I did some research. What is happening is obviously Gout. That become even more clear when my right foot took on the same redness, swelling, and pain.
If you look up what causes Gout, I should not have it. Nothing in my diet or lifestyle should promote a build up of Uric acid crystals in my feet. Having this while trying to get over this illness and coughing I have... talk about insanity being on my doorstep. I have known plenty of pain in my life. I'm an accident waiting to happen but, Gout... I know people who have told me about the pain being so great the weight of a bed sheet hurts. That seemed rather far fetched. Nope. Quite true.
So, between coughing fits and a throbbing red foot (and toe on the other foot), misery is my middle name. What to do.
I don't do drugs, as I've stated before. Nothing. Not even aspirin. I look to things in nature for healing, when I am rarely sick, or I get injured. With this illness, whatever it is and the coughing, nothing specific really seems to be helping, despite all the remedies for Covid out there. Of course, I don't know if I have Covid. Research for the Omicron strain, in some of its variations seems to allow such a conclusion but... I don't factually know. I am doing things to build up my immune system and it is doing its job. Natural remedies are not usually quick. That's what people want. Fast relief. They do things to their bodies over years, get sick and want fast relief. Well, you did not make yourself sick overnight, nor weaken your immune system overnight. Expecting fast relief is unnatural.
Covid or not, this foot situation is Gout. Of that I am positive. And forget drumming with this. No way.
Well, natural remedies to the rescue. In less than 24 hours from trying the first, the throbbing pain subsided and I slept through a night. Celery. Yeah, no joke. The online naturopath suggests celery seed extract, juicing celery or just chewing on stalks throughout the day. There are over a dozen antioxidants in celery that fight inflammation. I was duly amazed. I just ate celery for a day. The throbbing pain went away. Redness and swelling went down some. It still hurt. I was still limping and am this morning but, acute pain relief was welcome.
#2. Black cherry juice. That is in the top three of every list I read. Ordered some, came yesterday afternoon. Drank a capful. My toe has far more movement as I sit here typing (and coughing) this morning. Black cherry juice is a very old remedy for Gout and other inflammatory ailments. I have known people who use it for Gout and migraine headaches. One man used it for cluster headaches he used to get behind his eyes. He once told me the pain would get so bad, so debilitating, if he had a gun, he'd of used it. Black cherry juice got him through the day.
#3. Enzymes. In this case Bromelain, an enzyme found in Pineapple. I ordered some supplements.
#4. Nettles. An herb well known for treating inflammation, generally taken in tea form. Ordered some of that.
#5. Magnesium. Was drinking a liquid form after my stroke. Ordered it again. They all should arrive by tomorrow.
There are other things I have seen in lists, and doing a search for natural remedies for Gout will show them to anyone interested, and why they may or will bring relief but, being where I was a few days ago, waking up with severe, shooting, throbbing pain in my foot to where I am right now; wow. Enormous difference. Still can't wear shoes but, I expect to be able to do that by tomorrow, hopefully.
I'm no doctor. I'm just sharing what is working for me. My immune system is slowly kicking out whatever this sickness is. I cough less and less each day. Factually, even coughing is the immune system's way of rejecting and ejecting things from the lungs, causing problems. One could say coughing is a blessing. That isn't easy but, "In all things, give thanks," 1 Thes. 5:18.
I was just starting to begin exercising again, which I hadn't done for a month. Then Gout. Well, despite this rather odd, somewhat minor, Jobian transitory path I'm on, this too, shall pass.
Getting old, things starting to wear out, is a real pita. But, if you have experienced or are experiencing Gout and you don't want to use typical drugs generally prescribed, try out other alternatives that are out there.
The acute-care medical community generally frowns on natural remedies. They ignore centuries of anecdotal testimony. They ignore actual, modern research and studies done. All they know is drugs.
One day, being really sick and out of it a few weeks ago, and the internet was down that day, I put the TV on, which normally just sits here in the living room, unused. It has been like this for decades but, seeing drug commercials, one after another, like waves of pleasant scenes, people and music and yet, voices in the background telling people some, not even all the adverse side effects that come with the use of these things, even death! Death! It is shocking the drug industry can even exist, let alone make hundreds of billions of dollars a year.
There is no wonder drug. ALL drugs come with side effects, whether you feel them or not. Drugs are invaders. They are designed to invade the body. They may attack abnormalities but, they do not care about harming other things, especially the immune system.
The Covid debacle, and the now proven adverse side effects taking people down and literally killing them with dozens of different side effects, now in the millions around the globe, all age groups, from the injections, is the greatest crime against humanity in human history. Those responsible must be held accountable. Will they be? Before corrupt magistrates of humanity, maybe not. Before the judgment seat of Almighty God; definitely.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

638. Congress and UFOs - August 25, 2022
Congress has stuffed something into an appropriations bill you should know about. Money for another task force to look into the UFO/UAP subject, underlining the aspect of it all being a possible threat.
We all know Congress wastes money. The Fed prints it, devalues it, and Congress wastes it. Trillions of dollars on useless wars, including the wars on drugs, poverty, and other social fallout of a society in demise. And then all the farcical things that are a history of waste in the Western world.
https://www.congress.gov/117/bills/s4503/BILLS-117s4503rs.pdf#page=106
That's a link to a pdf of the bill. Sections 603 and 604 have much of the language addressing the UFO/UAP concerns, as well as section 1683 - ‘‘Sec. 1683. Establishment of Unidentified Aerospace-Undersea Phenomena Joint Program Office.’’.
This link is to an article linked from this source, which is important because a direct link to the article on this may render a window saying you have to pay to read the entire article. Follow the links if interested:

"Congressional Bill Says Threats to National Security From UFOs ‘Expanding Exponentially’
"By Caden Pearson
"August 24, 2022 Updated: August 24, 2022"
As you can see, USOs, Unidentified Submerged Objects, are a possible threat, as well, in the eyes of Congress. What do they base this on? Testimony of players like Lue Elizondo, Jeremy Corbell, and others claiming inside info on the UFO subject. They never produce any serious evidence, though plenty of evidence exists and has for 80 years and more. These UFO talking heads just seem to be everywhere, bristling up the bushes to make UFOs a possible threat to national security, even though in the 80s years reports have existed and photographs emerged, then film, video and now digital video from cell phones and cameras around the globe, plus testimonies from individuals and groups of all ages, school kids to entire cities, exist. In all that time, aside from testimony from military people that warhead facilities have been taken over and shut down in the observed presence of UFOs, addressing craft that can move within our atmosphere at speeds unknown by man, and maneuver in ways no human could withstand G-forces, no "threat" of any kind has ever been observed. All the information out there about various presidents or heads of state communicating with ETs, and all the rest is just stuff for UFO enthusiasts to pour over and write books about. There is no, actual contact that has been made, despite all the hype from some in the UFO community, UFOlogy, if you will, claiming to contact these entities. All they have are the same unidentified photos and video of lights in the sky or extremely blurry images of "beings," etc., etc. You have closets of "Skinny Bob" videos. That is not proof.
Today, with CGI, constant attention must be paid to possible fakes in the realm of videos that surface. Regardless of all the "evidence" that exists, "ET" has made no singular contact with humanity before the world. I do not doubt the testimony of school children. I do not doubt the testimony of hundreds and thousands who claim "abduction." I have seen UFOs twice, myself, with others present. It is all anecdotal, and you can believe it, if you choose. You cannot expect the human population to see the abduction of others as all the proof necessary to believe contact has been made. Call the police, tell them intruders are at your house. The police arrive. They see nothing, hear nothing, make a report and for them, no evidence exists that your report to them has any evidential merit, regardless of how sincere you seem. That is UFOlogy, in a nut shell.
I write on this simply because, for over 40 years, I have believed the subject will play a role in last-day events, prophetically speaking. In those 40+ years, Congress writing and enforcing bills addressing UFOs? No. Yet now, with no evidence of contact that can be verified by the occupants of UFOs, not 'contactees,' not selective photos, film, videos and anecdotal testimony from as many planetary citizens as you can gather but, actual White House lawn landing and "Greetings from the galaxy" contact, American tax dollars are being used to start more agencies, employ more government people, and with 80 years of "evidence," otherwise, the Department of Defense, the CIA, and other factions in government, cannot be forced by Congress, nor POTUS to turn over EVERYTHING government agencies know about this subject. What is wrong with that picture? Everything.
The clandestine nature of this subject; all the books, papers, talks, presentations given by dozens and dozens of "experts" in the field, for decades, including all the former military personnel that have and continue to speak out till their deaths, cannot be overcome? The definitive truth of the subject cannot be placed before 21st century Americans and citizens of the civilizations of a global populace? Please. Do let us have common sense.
It all tells me the nature of the subject is satanic, clothed in clandestine fog for reasons of ultimate deception when the time is right, to put on the final dog and pony show. All reasoning, thinking people realize UFOs exist. To reject 80 years of all the evidence that has been compiled is foolishness. So the question is not, Do they exist, are they real? The question is, What do they want?
Violence is nonsense. In 80 years of visible exposures taken, if the craft can do what is shown and testified to, their tech is obviously great enough to do far more damage to humanity than current fighter jets can do if their arsenals are launched. No such evidence exists that these craft have any kind of destructive weaponry on them. That is assumed. Hollywood has helped that assumption. The talking heads of UFOlogy, now seen on the news, constantly, have helped to establish that perception.
UFOlogy has an incredible number of... people on the edges of reality. I cannot begin to establish the nature of that fact. That just helps to keep confusion going. It is said much of it is all CIA disinformation campaigns to control the narrative on the subject.
Congress appropriating money to establish UAP agencies. Nobody is laughing in Congress. Nobody is laughing at Congress. People want answers.
The vast majority of UFOlogists are non-believers in Deity. Some of them are downright antagonistic to religion and are hard-nosed atheists. They are offering "ET" tech as god, as the way out of all human problems. Man, that has deception written all over it in capital letters for those who study the Bible.
A final showdown is coming. People want answers.
Satan will give them answers when the final deceptions begin. Count on it.
The Bible has answers for those who are willing read and study it, and allow the Book to interpret itself. No cherry picking. Cover to cover information on any given subject, including last-day events and universal population. It's in there.
Yeah, there is a mountain of confusion out there. You may or definitely will encounter it. Trust in God. If you are honest in heart, God will get you face to face with truth.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
We all know Congress wastes money. The Fed prints it, devalues it, and Congress wastes it. Trillions of dollars on useless wars, including the wars on drugs, poverty, and other social fallout of a society in demise. And then all the farcical things that are a history of waste in the Western world.
https://www.congress.gov/117/bills/s4503/BILLS-117s4503rs.pdf#page=106
That's a link to a pdf of the bill. Sections 603 and 604 have much of the language addressing the UFO/UAP concerns, as well as section 1683 - ‘‘Sec. 1683. Establishment of Unidentified Aerospace-Undersea Phenomena Joint Program Office.’’.

"Congressional Bill Says Threats to National Security From UFOs ‘Expanding Exponentially’
"By Caden Pearson
"August 24, 2022 Updated: August 24, 2022"
As you can see, USOs, Unidentified Submerged Objects, are a possible threat, as well, in the eyes of Congress. What do they base this on? Testimony of players like Lue Elizondo, Jeremy Corbell, and others claiming inside info on the UFO subject. They never produce any serious evidence, though plenty of evidence exists and has for 80 years and more. These UFO talking heads just seem to be everywhere, bristling up the bushes to make UFOs a possible threat to national security, even though in the 80s years reports have existed and photographs emerged, then film, video and now digital video from cell phones and cameras around the globe, plus testimonies from individuals and groups of all ages, school kids to entire cities, exist. In all that time, aside from testimony from military people that warhead facilities have been taken over and shut down in the observed presence of UFOs, addressing craft that can move within our atmosphere at speeds unknown by man, and maneuver in ways no human could withstand G-forces, no "threat" of any kind has ever been observed. All the information out there about various presidents or heads of state communicating with ETs, and all the rest is just stuff for UFO enthusiasts to pour over and write books about. There is no, actual contact that has been made, despite all the hype from some in the UFO community, UFOlogy, if you will, claiming to contact these entities. All they have are the same unidentified photos and video of lights in the sky or extremely blurry images of "beings," etc., etc. You have closets of "Skinny Bob" videos. That is not proof.
Today, with CGI, constant attention must be paid to possible fakes in the realm of videos that surface. Regardless of all the "evidence" that exists, "ET" has made no singular contact with humanity before the world. I do not doubt the testimony of school children. I do not doubt the testimony of hundreds and thousands who claim "abduction." I have seen UFOs twice, myself, with others present. It is all anecdotal, and you can believe it, if you choose. You cannot expect the human population to see the abduction of others as all the proof necessary to believe contact has been made. Call the police, tell them intruders are at your house. The police arrive. They see nothing, hear nothing, make a report and for them, no evidence exists that your report to them has any evidential merit, regardless of how sincere you seem. That is UFOlogy, in a nut shell.
I write on this simply because, for over 40 years, I have believed the subject will play a role in last-day events, prophetically speaking. In those 40+ years, Congress writing and enforcing bills addressing UFOs? No. Yet now, with no evidence of contact that can be verified by the occupants of UFOs, not 'contactees,' not selective photos, film, videos and anecdotal testimony from as many planetary citizens as you can gather but, actual White House lawn landing and "Greetings from the galaxy" contact, American tax dollars are being used to start more agencies, employ more government people, and with 80 years of "evidence," otherwise, the Department of Defense, the CIA, and other factions in government, cannot be forced by Congress, nor POTUS to turn over EVERYTHING government agencies know about this subject.

639. Signs! - August 26, 2022
Signs of the times.
When Jesus spoke of signs of His return, He was not only addressing His locale at the time. He was addressing a readership that would be worldwide, therefore, signs would be worldwide. Unprecedented events and human wrangling for power.
The USA, Europe, Africa and China breaking all records for drought and crop failure, which means food problems, which means possible starvation for millions. At the same time, while we greatly needed rain here in Northeast, Texas, the DFW area certainly did not need a 1 in 1,000 year flood, breaking 24hr. rainfall records over 90 years old. Bring in other areas of the globe experiencing the same. Drought and floods on continents struggling to maintain serious issues of literal survival.
Ever heard of the Tomato Flu? I have never have, yet, cases are being seen in children here in the USA. Add it to all the other illnesses being seen here and around the world, including the spread of Monkeypox.
And now, it isn't just people. We have all heard of the Bird-Flu. Tens of millions of chickens and Turkeys have been destroyed to keep it from spreading but, this week, 700 wild Vultures have succumbed from the illness at an animal sanctuary in Georgia. 34,000 birds euthanized in California as H5N1 is discovered there. And this particular strain can jump to humans. The possibilities for disaster are almost exponential.
In other cases, birds are falling out of the sky and no one knows exactly why. Dogs are dying from some mystery virus killing 60 animals thus far, in Michigan. Rabbits are dying all over North America from a strain of Hemorrhagic Disease Virus 2.
Records are showing a massive rising number of females, ages 10-18, dying in association of the vaccines, in Great Britain. The same kind of studies are emerging from many nations, while researchers in Germany, looking at all the manufactured serums, now claim ALL Covid vaccines from all manufacturers contain toxic metallic materials, some known, some of unknown identification.
The potential for tens, even hundreds of millions of people dying from adverse reactions to the injections is now out in the open, as reality, not conspiracy theory, as lawsuits begin like a net around the globe.
Corruption in the days of Noah and violence. Personally, I have never seen such corruption in government in my lifetime. It's like a mental illness has taken control of minds, as politicians lie about anything and everything. Radical, crazy people openly calling for the deaths of the unvaccinated, while the research shows the vaccinated are at the greatest risks. People calling for the deaths of Trump and his supporters in the USA, while the same for people like Tommy Robinson and Nigel Farage in Great Britain. Muslims are slaying Christians throughout the Eastern hemisphere, as well as great Christian persecution being perpetuated by Hindis in India. It is all insane. Human life means nothing, as the UN prepares to make a statement that abortion is a right for all women, all the time, throughout the world.
Daily reports of the aged among us, senior citizens, being physically attacked and even killed by rogue animalistic criminals. The same for Asians in America. Are people going mad and insane?
Russia/Ukraine now at its highest crisis point, with the explosive death of the daughter of a Russian ally of Putin. The proxy war continues, as America sends BILLIONS to Ukraine, while Americans continue to struggle with basic needs, and the criminal, Zelenskyy, continues his scam for dollars and arms. Putin is reaching scorched Earth stage. Nobody would be surprised to see a nuke dropped.
Constant reports out of China claim she is preparing for war. The #2 superpower can take on anyone now.
Say what you will, and I don't care how old you are, you have never seen a world in turmoil as it is now, and it is going to get steadily worse.
Some will say, "It was worse during WW1 and 2." Even if it was, that is all within the last century. But now, mankind has the actual, real capacity to destroy itself. Never has such a thing existed in the history of the world, and there are madmen in this world who are itching to drop the first warheads. There are sick minds who believe it is right to decrease the population of the globe. Things are being executed to reach that goal.
The end of all things is at hand. That is reality, not radical, religious, tin-hat calamity howling.
I hear the footsteps of an approaching God.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Science Continues to Play God
It just keeps accelerating.
"Scientists use stem cells to create synthetic mouse embryos"
https://apnews.com/article/synthetic-mouse-embryos-created-7f75da0c53f9d22c4e4dbf8a847d75bf
"Scientists have created “synthetic” mouse embryos from stem cells without a dad’s sperm or a mom’s egg or womb.
"The lab-created embryos mirror a natural mouse embryo up to 8 ½ days after fertilization, containing the same structures, including one like a beating heart.
"In the near term, researchers hope to use these so-called embryoids to better understand early stages of development and study mechanisms behind disease without the need for as many lab animals. The feat could also lay the foundation for creating synthetic human embryos for research in the future.
"The scientists expect that after about 11 days of development the embryo will fail without a placenta, but they hope researchers can someday also find a way to create a synthetic placenta. At this point, they don’t know if they will be able to get the synthetic embryos all the way to term without a mouse womb.
"Researchers said they don’t see creating human versions of these synthetic embryos soon but do see it happening in time. Hanna called it “the next obvious thing.”
"Other scientists have already used human stem cells to create a “blastoid, ” a structure mimicking a pre-embryo, that can serve as a research alternative to a real one.
"Such work is subject to ethical concerns. For decades, a “14-day rule” on growing human embryos in the lab has guided researchers. Last year, the International Society for Stem Cell Research recommended relaxing the rule under limited circumstances."
All in the name of medical science, understanding, and helping people, is the constant refrain. Rules exist but, recommendations for relaxing them are in process. We would be naive to think all of this research does not go on already in labs around the world. Let's face it, who knew and why are there so many American labs functioning in Ukraine?
Life from scratch, from non-living chemicals cannot be created yet, and logically, will never be but, manipulation of it? A continual jackpot for research teams around the world. Be the first. Patent it. Reap the rewards.
God? There is no God. Science is God. We will do what we want for the betterment of the human race.
We'll see what the Creator says about that in the near future.

640. Why Do They Lie? - August 27, 2022
I realize that's a pretty generic title. Who are they and what are they lying about? Well, considering the current state of the human race, I could easily state "they" are lying about everything. There is nothing "they" will not lie about. Agendas are far more important to "them," and gaining success meets their standard: the end justifies the means. But, in fact, I am centering on one particular "they" and one particular lie of theirs.
The link is to a post on the Astronomy Picture of the Day site I was just looking at. The entry is regarding "climate change."
https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap220822.html
Here's the paragraph of text:
"Explanation: Is our Earth warming? Compared to the past 250 million years, the Earth is currently enduring a relative cold spell, possibly about four degrees Celsius below average. Over the past 120 years, though, data indicate that the average global temperature of the Earth has increased by nearly one degree Celsius. The featured visualization video depicts Earth's recent global warming in graphic terms. The depicted temperatures are taken from the Goddard Institute for Space Studies' Surface Temperature Analysis. Already noticeable by many, Earth's recent warming trend is causing sea levels to rise, precipitation patterns to change, and pole ice to melt. Few now disagree that recent global warming is occurring, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has concluded that we humans have created a warming surge that is likely to continue. A continuation could impact many local agricultures and even the global economy. Although there seems to be no simple solutions, geoengineering projects that might help include artificial cloud creation to reduce the amount of sunlight heating the Earth's surface."
Each of the blue green phrases are links to other websites.
I underlined two sentences. The incongruity of the two underlined statements is more obvious than an elephant at your dinner table.
If you click on the link for the 'Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change' what do find out?
"The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the United Nations body for assessing the science related to climate change."
https://www.ipcc.ch/
The United Nations is probably in the top three most corrupt political bodies on the planet. Agenda21, Agenda30, dozens of other programs all designed to control world population under the guise of the usual "helping humanity" tag line.
Do a search on 'corruption United Nations' and 'scandals United Nations' on an honest search engine, and you will be reading for weeks. Nothing the UN says or does can be trusted. Nothing. Its existence reached critical mass decades ago as the biggest sinkhole for money on planet Earth. Billions and billions of dollars annually. Calls from patriots in the USA to leave the body and tell it to set up head quarters somewhere else have come for decades.
The United Nations, established to ensure world peace, is an epic fail. Climate change and the UN have NOTHING to do with each other. If the UN has scientific panels for anything, the world is assured lies are involved.
The planet is four degrees cooler than normal, it has risen in the last 120 years of data collecting one degree. IT IS NOT YET BACK TO NORMAL. How, then, can man-made global warming be the culprit? Ah, green house gases from fossil fuels, they say. But, wait. If a Venus-like problem exists, creating artificial cloud cover will help???
The paragraph states, "Few now disagree that recent global warming is occurring." That "few" describes scientists and climatologists around the world who believe the Sun's activity affects Earth's climate or, the Earth, itself, generates these changes, and always has. Man-made global warming is a ruse. One volcano will put more harmful stuff into the atmosphere than than years of automobile fumes. There is never a year where volcanoes are not erupting on planet Earth. At least 404 have erupted since 1883. Why? Because "the Earth wears out like a garment." It's a sign of the times that Christ is returning. Watch for more and more volcanic activity around the planet.
Why do these globalist elites lie? Because lying is far too easy to do. Attack the UN and you are considered a pariah in all Leftist media and political bodies. The UN lies like Texas has heat. It is inevitable. It is a given.
"Control the weather, control the world." That is the agenda. Control of the world.
God help us and keeps us from the corrupt agendas of satanic minds.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

641. How Dark Does the World Have to Be? - August 27, 2022
If you are someone who has no real knowledge of the Creator, the God of the Bible, Jesus Christ's birth, life, death, resurrection, ministry in Heaven, and second coming; if you have no "blessed hope," Titus 2:13, how are you processing what is taking place in this world? How?
The strange car accidents of Congresswoman Jackie Walorski and Anne Heche within a week of each other, and Heche's subsequent death have been looked at with suspicion by many. Why? Walorski was looking into child trafficking. Heche stars in an upcoming movie about child trafficking. Both were becoming highly outspoken.
Recent documentation, at least for me, relates the fact the CIA can hack into car computers and take control of vehicles. Step back a minute.
More and more investigation is unrelenting in exposing the American "deep state" is into child trafficking. I'm seeing these stories on alt news sites all over the place. I have to admit, I have taken some with a grain of salt. Then I read an article on the vehicles Walorski and Heche were in. Especially Heche's Mini Cooper. She plows into a garage, backs out, takes off at 100mph in a neighborhood and plows 30' deep into a house, as the car explodes into flames. Then we see her on a stretcher, presumably dead, and lo and behold she rises up from under the cover and tries to free herself from the firemen carrying her, and is rolled into an ambulance. She was certainly not a charred human being. Why did she react so strongly to people supposedly helping her? She was drunk? Please. Stoned? Please. Two accidents within minutes and nobody remains drunk or stoned. You are wide awake, unless you're dead, or so close to it you may as well be. Heche did not present herself in video of the day and event to be that out of it. Not that I have seen.
Then, this evening, I just watched a five minute video on child trafficking at our border, aided by an American company at the border, taking TENS of THOUSANDS of children every month and sending them all over the country to unvetted "sponsors." The horror stories from that point on will make you sick.

Now, if the world is not dark, as Isaiah stated; "Darkness covers the Earth, and gross darkness the people;" if the love of many is not waxing, or growing cold, as Jesus stated would be the case before He returned; if evil is not exponentially growing in our world, just as it did in the days of Noah, before the Flood, and Lot, in Sodom and Gomorrah, and none of this has any bearing on religious beliefs and biblical information on last day signs and events, how in the world can you sleep at night? What do you suppose is coming? What do you think is going to happen in a world where the biggest industry on the planet is drugs and companies that can kill people with them, and suffer no consequences, BY LAW, and the next biggest industry is the military industrial complex and constant wars and death for profit, and then the next is human/child trafficking, a global business making more money than all world-wide pornography producers combined but, wait. Pornography is part of adult and child sex trafficking!
How dark does the world have to get before you believe?
If there is no God, if there is no Son of God who came to this world to save sinners in it, tell me. What hope do you have that this world can possibly correct itself? Children are being sold for sex, as young as SIX-MONTHS old!!! In AMERICA!!! and across the globe.
EVIL is winning, just as predicted in the prophecies of the Bible. Evil takes control. Nothing can stop it but, the end of the world it all brings on itself, when Christ returns in indescribable power and glory to rescue His people from a world gone insane with evil and wickedness, much of it under a satanic delusion God sponsors it! The greatest delusion in human history: God is okay with lies and sin.
There are days when I tell the Lord, I do not care if I make it. Just end the nightmare. End this dying world. End the wickedness and evil.
America IS the most corrupt nation on Earth. It is a hell hole of darkness. It is worse than Communist dictatorships because it professes freedom and liberty and rule of law, and cares nothing for its borders, or its laws, or its very existence and place in this world. All of it be damned for power and wealth and corruption of all that is righteous. The nation is now run by political gangsters and criminals.
God will judge. God will have His say. Woe those who call evil, good and good, evil. May God strike down the workers of such iniquity in no small way. Tens, hundreds of millions are suffering, billions. It is time for God to call it a day and close up shop on the wickedness of this world. Yet, He will not make a full end yet. No. The worst thing of all is yet to come: the very denigration of God's law, written with His own hand, supported by the nations of this world. When that takes place, when the law of God is replaced by the law of man, the full apostasy of the human race will be achieved and the end will come in plagues, world catastrophes, the worst earthquake in human history, the return of Christ following the artillery of Heaven: 150 pound hailstones that shall decimate the surface of the world, and the glory of Christ shall consume the wicked where they stand, as the righteous are resurrected and the living changed to immortality and are gathered together to go home to be with Him forever.
A fairytale, you say? Pray tell, what do you possibly have to replace it and give me hope with? Nothing?
Even so, COME, Lord Jesus.
The strange car accidents of Congresswoman Jackie Walorski and Anne Heche within a week of each other, and Heche's subsequent death have been looked at with suspicion by many. Why? Walorski was looking into child trafficking. Heche stars in an upcoming movie about child trafficking. Both were becoming highly outspoken.
Recent documentation, at least for me, relates the fact the CIA can hack into car computers and take control of vehicles. Step back a minute.
More and more investigation is unrelenting in exposing the American "deep state" is into child trafficking. I'm seeing these stories on alt news sites all over the place. I have to admit, I have taken some with a grain of salt. Then I read an article on the vehicles Walorski and Heche were in. Especially Heche's Mini Cooper. She plows into a garage, backs out, takes off at 100mph in a neighborhood and plows 30' deep into a house, as the car explodes into flames. Then we see her on a stretcher, presumably dead, and lo and behold she rises up from under the cover and tries to free herself from the firemen carrying her, and is rolled into an ambulance. She was certainly not a charred human being. Why did she react so strongly to people supposedly helping her? She was drunk? Please. Stoned? Please. Two accidents within minutes and nobody remains drunk or stoned. You are wide awake, unless you're dead, or so close to it you may as well be. Heche did not present herself in video of the day and event to be that out of it. Not that I have seen.
Then, this evening, I just watched a five minute video on child trafficking at our border, aided by an American company at the border, taking TENS of THOUSANDS of children every month and sending them all over the country to unvetted "sponsors." The horror stories from that point on will make you sick.

642. Is Alex Jones and InfoWars the Test Case? - August 28, 2022
https://banned.video/watch?id=6307ab750d72c524f3aa4d02
Link to a short video on the Alex Jones/Sandy Hook verdict and its implications.
The horizon of that case seems far deeper and broader than just an attack on Jones.
I'm not into Alex Jones as a presenter of information. I can take only so much of his style. The fact is, and it is now a recognized fact throughout the media, with many professed Conservatives who would never mention Jones, let alone follow him, that he has stated and written things, more things over the decades that have come pinpoint true, than anyone else in media, period. Therefore, with such an enormous following, Alex Jones must be stopped, destroyed.
So, what happened with his Sandy Hook reporting?
Some years back I watched a bunch of documentaries on the shooting at Sandy Hook and that event is filled with weird anomalies. I really didn't know what to think after watching what researchers and investigators compiled.
What became obvious was a woke attitude overtaking the situation and today, that woke faction delivered to Jones a whopping 45 million dollar judgment, which is actually moot because Texas has ceiling caps for such judgments. I believe it is 10 million, which is still not chump change, and I believe I have read where Jones/InfoWars has filed for bankruptcy.
The First Amendment supposedly protects free speech. Jones acted as a reporting organization and presented information about the Sandy Hook event. I really do not know what information became the court case against him. To my knowledge it was not a slander or libel case. What, then, was it? A defamation lawsuit. The claim was that Jones defamed the parents of the Sandy Hook students who perished. They won the case. Without looking into it, I believe you can be guaranteed political activists pushed for the families to enter this case.
The very fact the Left went bananas with cheers for the decision, throughout all media, shows just how much influence Alex Jones has in this world. The LEFT will no longer tolerate "conspiracy theories." Anything opposed to their agenda is now a "conspiracy theory, open to a lawsuit.
Logically, if Alex Jones cannot report things because they offend people, then ALL news organizations must be shut down for all main stream media; multinational, corporation-run news, lies 24/7 about one thing or another, and offends millions of people on a daily basis. Alt news sites offend their detractors, 24/7 as well. All news outlets should be shut down.
If this judgment against Jones stands, dominoes will fall in all directions of alternative news. Lawsuits will pile up like Autumn leaves. Nobody will be able to report or comment on anything, without possibility or fear of a lawsuit thrown at them.
The Left is now engaged in going after Project Veritas. It must be destroyed. ALL dissent must be destroyed. That is not Americanism. That is Totalitarianism. That is evil, by definition.
If you think this is still America, you are wrong. It is not. It is democracy in action, which is mob rule. That is why the Founders established this nation as a Constitutional Republic, employing certain aspects of democratic policies for choosing Representatives from the citizenry. America IS NOT a DEMOCRACY. That is history 101 but, you see, that is not taught anymore in American schools. That is not the constant pounding of Leftist drums throughout media, turning American history on its head: turning America into what they want, not protecting what it is. They are destroying, have destroyed America, and they will not stop until every vestige Americanism is wiped out for good.
Do not expect Republicans to take back the House and Senate in November. It is entirely possible, and probable, and even definite, the GOP will squander all public dissent and disgust of Washington, D.C. for one, and the elections using machines will render the same results they have previously, which put Biden in the White House and who knows how many other politicians into their seats of office around the nation. Expect debacles on top of debacles. Expect criminal activity. Expect in your face corruption. Expect to be disappointed beyond measure, if you think America can be saved at the voting booth or in the courts. It may turn out exactly the opposite. They shall be coming after those who dissent from it all and speak out. The FBI will not just remain but, be emboldened to go after all political opponents of the Left and globalists endeavoring to run the world. They shall be buttressed to be the hammer of the Leftist run government, along with all other alphabet agencies and "deep state."
I'm not a prophet. I don't need to be. The handwriting is already on the wall. America began as a lamb. It shall speak as a dragon, Rev 13:11-18.
Dragon phase underway. And to top off the absolute absurdity of it all, as the prophecy states; as Jesus stated; it all becomes a huge, false religious revival determined to take down truth and God's servants, thinking they are doing service to God, when they are under strong delusions, ripe for destruction.
Impossible, you say?
Watch.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Horrifying Studies
My days of staying on top of the Covid situation has waned a great deal. It's too heart rending, especially knowing people vaccinated. No, no tragic news about any of them... yet.
https://www.bitchute.com/video/JtQKvjblcGBM/
https://www.redvoicemedia.com/2022/08/study-94-of-vaxxed-have-pre-blood-clot-formations-shocking-evidence-exposed-video/?utm_source=right-rail-trending
I did not watch the video. I'm just posting it if you want to.
A new study out of Italy, 1006 participants, apparently shows conclusive proof 94% of Covid injected people have pre-blood clot formations.
The study also showed crystalline formations in the blood of the injected, same as a study out of Germany.
This next one does not seem possible. According to combined studies the cancer risks for injected people rises 143,233.33%.
The Insurance company, Lincoln National, reports that deaths have increased 163% among working-aged people since the rollout of the "vaccines."
Let's say only 10% of this information is accurate. How many millions does that represent? 2.5 - 3.5 billion people have been injected at least once, many of that number twice, as well as "boosted."
We cannot imagine the horror that awaits.
How can the people who pushed this on the human race still be walking around, free?
God help us.
UPDATE:
The newest Reese Report. It is truth.
I do not believe Donald Trump can be reelected if he holds on to his position on the "vaccines." More than that, he should not be reelected. He acted the Pharma/Government patsy and should have known better than to trust Leftist medical "experts," like Fauci , Birx and co.
Now, the Leftist media is blaming Trump for the adverse reactions because the horses are out of the barn and they cannot keep the ruse going any longer. Death is everywhere. For his part... no, he should never again be POTUS unless he completely repents and repudiates his errors in fast-tracking the injections and the pharma companies for their criminal activity in hiding results and information from what little testing they did.

643. A Departure From Greg Reece - August 28, 2022
I just watched a Reece video I'll link at the end, entitled - Sacred Cows and the Dangers of Eating Bugs, 8/20/22.
I just put up a post about eating insects, #632, a couple weeks ago. I won't rehash things.
While cattle were created by God in the "clean" category of creatures, and after the Flood, were allowed as food, Reece's claims of the benefits of eating grass fed beef do not meet the necessary exposure of what cattle go through hoof to table. If you owned grass fed beef, and ate those creatures, you are far ahead of what cattle go through to end up as food for human consumption in the 20th and 21st centuries meat industry.
Reece's comments about insects obviously show him to be ignorant of God's provisions in His Word for humanity's needs. I'd gladly share that with him but, I see no way to contact him from his website.
The Creator is beyond all human understanding. It is impossible to understand or comprehend His intelligence. The Bible says He spoke and things came into being. Everything from nothing. Power beyond comprehension. I find it so odd and humorous Materialists believe the same thing but, claim nothing supernatural took place. That horse has been addressed so much the poor thing is mutantly swayback.
The point is, the cattle eaten a couple centuries ago are not the cattle typically sold at markets the last century. Today, it is even worse. Reece even mentions the problem is not grass fed beef but, manufactured meat processing. Yet all he offers is the suggestion to go back to grass fed beef. He cannot reasonably expect that to take place anymore than Pfizer is going to go to holistic medicine and natural remedies for healing.
God stated in His Word certain insects are not only safe to eat but, have the same nutritional standards as any other creature He allows for food consumption BUT, it is wise to remember the original diet given to both man and beast was a plant-based diet. And, there shall be no death or eating of animals in Heaven. The Tree of life and a plant-based diet shall return to humans and animals. Considering all that is before humanity, the last thing people need to be fussing about is eating cows.
I also found it interesting some of the sources he uses for documentation of things he states as evidence for positions, are sources he has shown us can not be trusted in previous episodes, like the NIH, the National Institute of Health. The fact is, anyone truly knowledgeable in diet and health could produce stacks of books and studies and research that shows the physical benefits of a plant-based diet.
Reece mentions humans have the teeth necessary to chew animal flesh. That is decidedly false. Open your mouth. Do you see what is inside a true carnivore's mouth? Does it look like the inside of a lion's mouth or a cow's mouth? We do not have carnivore incisor's to tear flesh. We have just enough incisor to tear plants and grind them with teeth just like grass eating creatures. I'd like Reece to show me a human tearing into a fallen cow. Good luck with that. We strip, we cook, we heat and break down animal flesh to consume it. As I have mentioned before, the true carnivore has an intestinal tract around 6' long. Short by human standards of 22'. There is a huge difference of plants digesting in 22' of intestines and flesh digesting in that 22', putrefying in the process. The big cat eats and eliminates quickly. Humans used to eating flesh food may eliminate once a week or even longer, and their bowels will smell of the putrefaction. Those eating a plant-based diet will generally eliminate, or should, 24 hours after eating a meal or less. This is not to say all those who eat animal flesh are always constipated. It is to say God created a very different digestive system for carnivores and we do not have that system.
I hate to disagree with Greg Reece because normally, he's right on target. Here, he misses it altogether.
I am not endorsing the eating of insects beyond what God allows for and provides for in His Word. Bugs can be as toxic as eating any other creature not endorsed as safe by the Creator.
I'm sticking with the Word of God. Humans, prone to error, can really confuse things.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

644. The Easy Gauge for Justice - August 29, 2022
The world of Leftist media and medical mouthpieces are rats jumping a sinking ship in every direction now.
Christians are not generally of an attitude to tell people, I or we told you so and yet, I did that a time or two in the last couple years. Call it human failing but, now, the issue is not, We told you so. The Virus, itself, the lockdowns, the masks, the injections, all of it, every single point of truth laid out is now before the world and all us 'conspiracy theorists' can only sit back and ask, Now what?
For me, the gauge of justice is simple. Will those who pushed, intimidated, threatened, and ultimately forced humanity to do things opposed to science, medical protocols, common sense and even national and international law be held accountable for the world-wide, global, planetary destruction of life and property they have caused and are still causing? If Yes, a glimmer of hope for justice yet exists. If not, we know who and what is in control and shall not relinquish control, nor be stopped by any human means.
It seems logical to me that humanity has a void, what some call the "God hole." It's there and most people recognize it. No amount of money, commercial success, possessions, or human affinity fills that hole, the emptiness, the void. Only God can. It is the place for the Creator in all humanity.
If no human tribunals of law, order and justice will hold the people accountable for what they have caused and perpetuated upon humanity, as things get worse, will humanity realize the void more acutely and seek their Creator for some semblance of hope and correction of such catastrophic undoing of normalcy and equity among mankind? If you cannot get justice from those in position to render it, where do people look to? Where do they go? What do they do? Two options. They look to their Deity or they take matters into their own hands. There is one true Creator and Sovereign of the universe. It would be great if humanity looked to Him and cried out for justice.
If humanity attempts to take things into their own hands, it seems unlikely the world's police forces could take on rushes of billions of angry people that have had enough. The dead and dying will be a very large influence to go that direction. They killed, maimed and ruined people, families, communities, and that will continue because the injections will be perpetual in their adverse reactions in humanity. There will be no let up in that because that was and is the plan that must be adjudicated and monsters held responsible and accountable. In the likelihood they will not be held accountable, and humanity explodes with rage, carnage begins. And as those in police forces die, lose loved ones and receive the same backhanded slap in the face from the Controllers, all pretense of control breaks down. Chaos results.
Now, let us say that humanity, in its grief and pain and suffering looks to God, one of two things, again. They connect with their Creator, their voids are filled, they have peace in the midst of storms raging, and wait on the Lord to address the monster class responsible for it all.
The other possibility is an open door for Lucifer to step in with false religion, false paranormal events, false miracle-laden revivals composed of the tinsel and trappings of religion but, no substance thereof. No truth. Enough of that exists in our world already. How difficult would it be for the Devil and his hosts to capitalize on it and take it all further? He is both the destroyer and benefactor of the race, when it suits his aims.
A false religious revival, with all power, signs and wonders is what Scripture predicts. And I am not anywhere near ready to drop the entire "ET" scenario that could play out, as humanity reaches a breaking point. Far from it. That scenario becomes more likely by the month.
If that false revival begins, that's the final showdown. The law of God will become involved, as the laws of man are uplifted and put in place of God and His eternal, moral statutes. All focus will leave human controllers and go towards religion, the one thing that is fading fast in our modern world. All this will happen. When? Nobody can say. What we can say is that the stage could be setting up for the final events to rapidly fall into place.
Looking at today's world it seems impossible such things could take place. That is God and His Word. Each and every time He tells the world what is coming, it may seem impossible but, it comes to pass. The "more sure word of prophecy," 2 Peter 1:19, never fails. God is the only true God because He tells us the end, from the beginning, Isaiah 46:9,10.
We are bidden by Christ to watch and pray -
Luke 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting [headache causing indulgence and gluttony], and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
Luke 21:35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
The world is interconnected, despite divisions. Everything is taken into the consideration of world-wide events, today. The world is obviously in an unprecedented upheaval. In the Bible it is called a shaking, a sifting, a separation: the ancient practice of separating chaff from the wheat in the wind. Or it can be the shaking of an olive tree when the fruit is ripe for harvest, stated about both the righteous and the unrighteous. Upheaval is here but, is nothing compared to what is coming on the face of the whole Earth. The elitist totalitarians shall not escape.
Isa 24:10 The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in.
Isa 24:11 There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.
Isa 24:12 In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.
Isa 24:13 When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.
Isa 24:14 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
Isa 24:15 Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.
Isa 24:16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.
Isa 24:17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare [trap], are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
Isa 24:18 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.
Isa 24:19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
Isa 24:20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
Isa 24:21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
Isa 24:22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.
Isa 24:23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.
Dozens of prophecies, dozens of warnings, dozens of directions for safety, dozens of promises for hope, dozens of proofs Yehovah is in control.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Christians are not generally of an attitude to tell people, I or we told you so and yet, I did that a time or two in the last couple years. Call it human failing but, now, the issue is not, We told you so. The Virus, itself, the lockdowns, the masks, the injections, all of it, every single point of truth laid out is now before the world and all us 'conspiracy theorists' can only sit back and ask, Now what?
For me, the gauge of justice is simple. Will those who pushed, intimidated, threatened, and ultimately forced humanity to do things opposed to science, medical protocols, common sense and even national and international law be held accountable for the world-wide, global, planetary destruction of life and property they have caused and are still causing? If Yes, a glimmer of hope for justice yet exists. If not, we know who and what is in control and shall not relinquish control, nor be stopped by any human means.
It seems logical to me that humanity has a void, what some call the "God hole." It's there and most people recognize it. No amount of money, commercial success, possessions, or human affinity fills that hole, the emptiness, the void. Only God can. It is the place for the Creator in all humanity.
If no human tribunals of law, order and justice will hold the people accountable for what they have caused and perpetuated upon humanity, as things get worse, will humanity realize the void more acutely and seek their Creator for some semblance of hope and correction of such catastrophic undoing of normalcy and equity among mankind? If you cannot get justice from those in position to render it, where do people look to? Where do they go? What do they do? Two options. They look to their Deity or they take matters into their own hands. There is one true Creator and Sovereign of the universe. It would be great if humanity looked to Him and cried out for justice.
If humanity attempts to take things into their own hands, it seems unlikely the world's police forces could take on rushes of billions of angry people that have had enough. The dead and dying will be a very large influence to go that direction. They killed, maimed and ruined people, families, communities, and that will continue because the injections will be perpetual in their adverse reactions in humanity. There will be no let up in that because that was and is the plan that must be adjudicated and monsters held responsible and accountable. In the likelihood they will not be held accountable, and humanity explodes with rage, carnage begins. And as those in police forces die, lose loved ones and receive the same backhanded slap in the face from the Controllers, all pretense of control breaks down. Chaos results.
Now, let us say that humanity, in its grief and pain and suffering looks to God, one of two things, again. They connect with their Creator, their voids are filled, they have peace in the midst of storms raging, and wait on the Lord to address the monster class responsible for it all.

Truth From Jean-Pierre!
I am really quite delighted to post this, on this August 31st, 2022, at 4:35 PM, Central time.
Sort of new Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, is obviously an empty vessel Leftist. She has nowhere near the grit and determination Peppermint Patty (Jen Psaki) had.
Well, today she actually spoke some hefty truth. And I quote:
“The president thinks there is an extremist threat to our democracy,” KJP said. “The president has been clear as he can be on that particular piece when we talk about our democracy, when we talk about our freedoms.”
“The way that he sees is the MAGA Republicans are the most energized part of the Republican party – that extreme, this is an extreme threat to our democracy, to our freedom, to our rights,” she added.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/08/karine-jean-pierre-says-people-voted-trump-extreme-threat-democracy-freedom-rights-video/
It is a fact, an easily provable fact, that Make America Great Again Republicans ARE an extreme threat to Democrat's democracy, Democrat's freedoms, and Democrat's Rights.
Democrats want a full blown democracy, majority rule; remove the Electoral College, even remove the Constitution, and huge chunks of American history.
MAGA Republicans are a sure threat to that.
Democrats want freedom to say whatever they want about anybody else. Freedom of speech for them, nobody else. Freedom to offend all others, they cannot stand being offended. Freedom to lie in the press for them, to use a lying press, to use alphabet agencies to hammer political opponents and dissent. They want freedom to censor, proscribe and marginalize dissenters. They want the freedom to steal elections.
MAGA Republicans are definitely a threat to that.
Democrats exist in 'group think,' groups are to have rights, at the expense of all other rights of American citizens, individuals given inalienable rights by God, the Creator, established by the Founding documents and Constitution. Democrats want rights to throw out God from all political discourse and government. They want democracy and freedom and rights to bring in any and every illegal human being that shows up at America's borders, and give them, with American tax money, freebies stacked to the moon. Democrats want rights to murder babies even after they are born! Democrats want rights to mutilate children! Democrats want rights to practice every abomination and perversion known to man, within the groups that practice them. Protection for them. None for dissenters of such abysmal behavior and policy.
They definitely know MAGA Republicans are a threat to their lunch menu, cherry-picked, nut basket of rights.
Democrats see one America, theirs. Their democracy, their freedoms, their rights. Everybody else? Sit down and shut up, or better still, leave.
MAGA Republicans are a considerable threat to their America, which Democrats are destroying with each passing week.
Karine Jean-Pierre, speaking for the Biden administration and all Democrat, Washington, D.C., spoke truth today.

Jean-Pierre is Batting 1000
Have you ever heard of a United States Presidential Administration Press Secretary utter such repulsive, dangerous, and ridiculous words? She's batting 1000 this week.
“When you are not with where the majority of Americans are, then, you know, that is extreme. That is an extreme way of thinking,” Karine Jean-Pierre said.
And there you go; the epitome of the Leftist Democrat thinking, and their desire to have a pure democracy, majority rule, and if they cannot vote one in, they'll just take down dissidents any way they need to. January 6 is far from over.
And Yes, MAGA Republicans and Independents and even what Democrats still exist with common sense, are definitely a threat to radical Democrat control of America.
Biden is out of his basement, putting down half the American population as too stupid to understand what's going on as Trumpers want to topple America, overthrow the government, and stage a new revolution. They tried on January 6, 2021, don't you know, with a few thousand of these extremists who actually believe politicians work for the people, not the other way around. An insurrection of tourists in the Capitol, taking pictures, shooting videos, singing hymns and patriotic songs, speaking with what capitol police were not plants and shills. One got shot and killed as she tried to climb through a window next to a door. Another was beaten to death by Capitol police on the steps outside. The Capitol police were not extreme. People protesting a proven, multiple times over, stolen election are the extremists.
Democrats are avowed Communists; openly totalitarian Communists. They no longer hide. Get with their program or get out while the gettin' is good.
I'm not a Republican. I'm a registered Independent. I believe Democrats in control of D.C. and the nation are the extremists.
Will the real extremists, please, stand up? Oh, look, Democrats are standing; boldly standing, breaking things, burning things, threatening to bring down America! But, they are not extreme. Tens of thousands are standing at Trump rallies, listening to Trump speak about America first, while Biden can't fill a gymnasium, and can't speak a full paragraph in coherence. Republicans are the extremists.
You cannot make this stuff up.
I always think; my father fought a world war for this? God forbid he should have been alive to see it. Well, if his generation were still alive, things would still be American, not New World Order dictatorships in the wings.

Concepts for Solo Drum Set
Now on My YouTube Channel
Put aside my religious faith, my political positions, my worldview, and my dislike of Texas, I'm a drumist and have been for 57 years. It's what I do. And while I dislike Google and YouTube and how they have treated people in the last couple years, YT is what it is, and I have had a channel on it for eleven years about drums and drumming, and have met a lot of nice people there. YT is a university, in and of itself, and sharing is what people love to do. I have learned volumes of things watching it.
When I recorded the first Concepts album back in the Winter/Spring of 2021, the world began an engagement with unprecedented events and it's still going on. A recording of drum solos? Not exactly first on anyone's list of acquisitions. After awhile I figured I would place it on my YT channel and just did, a little while ago.
My first shot at combining pictures with audio and the process was tedious but, not so tech I couldn't put something simple together. For some reason some of the pics, two in particular, didn't transfer very well, and there was a noticeable, to me anyway, loss or change in the fidelity and frequency range of the recording. Just a little. I'm told YT compression and processing has much to do with that.
As you may know from reading elsewhere on the site, the recording was just remixed and remastered by my friend, guitarist John Mayes, from West Virginia. He did an absolutely grand slam of a job on it, too. The recording got more expansive in the soundstage, with a wider frequency range of the 60-70 piece drum set involved. Everything is crystal clear, forceful, powerful, beautiful and all blends well into each other. My drum sets have a lot of dynamic range in all the instruments used, and John was able to coax every bit of it all and then some, into the recording.
So, if you'd like to check it out, here's the link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3xJBN4vu2w
(FYI, for some reason, the listed, individual track durations were given functionality like time stamps or something. They should not be clicked on for that purpose. I don't know what happened there. I turned off all those options.)
If you're interested, I'll be placing Concepts 2 and 3 on the channel next week.

Speaking as an American...
Speaking as an American who loves the principles of Americanism contained in our Foundation documents and history, I believe Joe Biden, current occupant of the White House, is a madman. There is no other conclusion to be drawn when he stands before an audience, two Marines behind him, blood red drapes as a backdrop, absolutely tearing to shreds the character and patriotism of tens of millions of the nation's citizenry, clench fisted, angry, and lying (as he has done all his dastardly, political career), presenting far more the demeanor and attitude of a maniacal, overlording despot than an American president (which he is technically not).
Say what you will, Joe Biden is mentally deranged. No POTUS in their right mind would speak as he did yesterday to the watching world. No, I certainly did not watch the poor old man's speech. I do not watch Republican speeches, let alone Democrats. The news world, well, alternative news, has text of his speech everywhere and his words can mean only one thing: Democrats plan to control the nation till the nation falls into an abyss of history. By any means they deem necessary, they will control the country and direct it where they will. Elections be damned. Constitution and rule of law be damned. Citizens be damned.
This is evil and wickedness on parade.
The question is, will the backlash be enough to derail their demonic freight train? Will there even be a backlash?
God help us.

645. Archbishop Vigano - Pope? - September 3, 2022
In less than 24 hours, the non-president, Joe Biden, backed down from statements made the day before about MAGA, Trump supporting Republicans being enemies of Democracy, etc., etc., etc. What does this mean? It obviously means Biden is mentally unstable and should be removed from the office he stole. Of course, that can of worms opens to a stench nobody wants to think about so, the news cycle just continues on defending him, while patriots wonder just how Orwellian things are going to become.
You may be aware the same kind of thing is taking place in the Catholic Church. The Donald Trump of the Catholic Church right now is Archbishop Carlo Vigano. Vigano has been handing both Catholic and non-Catholic society semi-regular treatises that speak against the "Bergoglian-wing" of the RCC - that of Pope Francis - and uplifts true Catholics and Catholicism.
Given the current condition of what may be called "Protestantism," it is no surprise Vigano has fans all throughout what can be called "Christendom." His recent speech at a conference in France, August 14, was a call to "rebuild Christendom" as a force to wage war against the Great Reset Totalitarians. More and more Catholics show desire he should become Pope. While only members of the College of Cardinals have been elected Pope for the last 600 years, it is, in fact, possible for any Roman Catholic male to be elected Pope, and in previous times, Bishops have been. The last non-cardinal to be elected was Urban the VI, in 1379.
For me, being a Protestant by principle, not societal placement, has taught me that Roman Catholicism acts the chameleon when necessary or advantageous. She cannot be trusted, period. She may produce both solid patriots to any nation she resides in, and reasonable, rational, thinking people who love the Lord but, because of what she is, at her base of existence, "antechristos," in place of Christ, she can have no allegiance with those who truly seek the kingdom of God. "It is a backsliding church that lessens the distance between itself and the Papacy." That used to be the understanding of Protestantism. That ethic is all but, gone now.
https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/abp-vigano-globalist-doctrine-is-essentially-satanic-we-must-rebuild-christendom/
To the speech, itself. Vigano always reveals himself, regardless of playing the man of all free people.
"Everything is a lie when it comes to Satan. The premises are false: Your God oppresses you with heavy precepts. The promises are false: You can decide and get what you want. And everything is a lie too when Satan’s minions are organising to establish the dystopia of the New World Order."
Speak against the New World Order and your fan-base increases exponentially, and Vigano has played the NWO card with great effect among both Catholics and non-Catholics.
The NWO, Great Reset is a totalitarian enterprise: control of the planet. But, the enterprise of the RCC, Papacy and Vatican is the same: world-wide dominion. It is the same as Islam after it. It is the same as Pagan Rome before it. It is the same as all entities that desire total control on Earth. The Papacy's desire to have control of all the Earth has been derailed so many times in history it no longer makes grand, sweeping statements about the Catholic Church, "Christ's true church," overseeing the affairs of all the world. That said, 21st century Vigano plays cards that bring the premise very close to chest. He just shuffles things around a bit.
"Through the Great Reset, they want to erase Western Christian society in order to establish a liberal-communist synarchy on the model of the Chinese dictatorship, in which the entire population is controlled and manoeuvrable at will. In a society inspired, if even only in a small way by Catholic values, the financial power groups and the New World Order elite would have no place. But this should not lead us to believe that their opposition to Christian society is merely economically and politically motivated. In reality, what triggers this hatred is that there might be, even in the most remote corner of the planet, a possible alternative to the globalist dystopia, a world in which the employer can honestly pay his employees, in which the state imposes reasonable taxes on its citizens, in which charities render services free of charge and without speculation, in which the innocence of children is respected and LGBTQ+ propaganda is not permitted. A world in which the Social Reign of Jesus Christ is shown to be not only possible, but the best form of society, administered for the common good and for the glory of God."
The Social reign of Jesus Christ. Not the spiritual reign. The social reign. Societal reign. Even though Jesus said, point blank, "My kingdom is not of this world," there are ever forces on the planet trying to establish a reign of Christ, and Vigano makes no bones about it. He does not appeal to "biblical values," he appeals to "Catholic values." Why? Because true Catholics hold no space for non-Catholic entities whose foundation is the Bible, and "the Bible alone as the only rule of faith and practice for the believer." Such are are heretics in true Catholicism. They can have no place in Christ's church; the Roman Catholic Church. Think I am speaking erroneously?
"Even the term of comparison constituted by the Mass of all time makes it impossible to prefer its Montinian counterfeit: this is why the Bergoglian church wants to prevent its celebration and keep the faithful away from it. To impose this horror on us, they have resorted to deception, telling the faithful that the Apostolic Mass is incomprehensible, and that it must be translated and simplified so that the faithful may better appreciate its meaning. But this was a lie. And if they had explained to us that their aim was exactly the same as that which the Protestant heresiarchs had set themselves – that is, to destroy the heart of the Catholic Church – we would have gone after them with pitchforks in hand."
THAT is the true nature of Roman Catholicism. I am a heretic; a Protestant heretic, and what is right for me is the pitchfork. I have no desire to destroy the heart of the Catholic Church. God will deal with that when the time comes. I desire to expose it. Romanism will not be destroyed by any man or group of men. Jesus Christ will bring down the apostate church when He returns. Until then, Romanism has much to accomplish.
"The globalist world does not tolerate comparisons. It demands this “exclusivity” which it denounces with horror as soon as it is not itself that claims it. It tears the clothes off the temporal power of the Church – with the complicity of fornicating and heretical clerics – and then demands absolute and irrational obedience to the dogmas it proclaims from Davos or Brussels. It celebrates freedom of speech and of the press, which it generously funds, but tolerates neither dissent nor truth, which it seeks to make simply inaccessible, invisible."
That, Dear Reader, is the exact history of the Roman Catholic Church. The "temporal power" of the RCC is to have dominion over all. Exclusivity is Romanism. "Outside the Church there is no salvation." That is the bedrock doctrine of Romanism. She, alone, is the true church of Christ. She "demands absolute and irrational obedience." All popes make that demand of its clergy and of the world. All statements by modern Popes that apologize for past grievances and allow for other faiths to be part of the body of Christ is all window dressing, all lies used as a means to an end. Vigano constantly attacks the Pope Francis wing of the RCC. How is it he is allowed to remain an archbishop? Because he is fulfilling a role, and every good Jesuit knows if you have to portray a Protestant to gain confidence, that the Papacy may win in the end, you do what you have to do. It's in the oath. Look it up. That policy is the policy of all Catholic prelates. The Jesuits just use it with far more stealth.
Vigano is no champion of all people because he exposes the details of the NWO and Great Reset elites. Nay. It's just the hook holding the bait.
"And again: the globalist world has no past to show us to confirm the greatness of its ideas, its philosophy, its faith. Conversely, it lives by falsifying history, by erasing the past, by eliminating it from the new generations. So that there is no one who, in front of Chartres Cathedral, is able to recognise the images of Christ and the Saints. So that no one would know that in the Holy Chapel was kept the ampulla of the Holy Chrism carried by an Angel to consecrate the Kings of France. So that no one could know their deeds, find their tombs, or understand the treasures of art and literature that have made the Catholic Nations great. The Cancel Culture reveals the radical ontological inconsistency of globalism in the face of the splendour of Christian civilisation."
Vigano spills all the beans, with almost an ecstasy of oration. For him Christian civilization is Romanism to be found in Roman Catholic nations. The United States of America sent more missionaries and evangelistic literature to the world than all nations combined, at one time. The USA is the greatest nation ever to arise in world history. That cannot be argued. Cancel culture here has done its work on the church in America but, how does Vigano leave out this nation's history? Because that is Romanism. It falsifies, erases, eliminates history. America was built on the principles of Protestantism. It cannot be given a place in true Catholicism. Which is why Popes have written against the principles of the U.S. Constitution. In the 17th to 19th centuries, Rome claimed the freedoms of Americans to choose their own faith and live autonomous lives was nonsense. Such a premise could never last. Catholic nations knew how to function. Centuries of their presence showed the world, and Vigano relishes that policy. Believe it at your own peril.
Read this next paragraph carefully.
"Modern society, with its fable about democracy, has taught us to think that we can possibly be Catholics, perhaps even traditionalists, as long as we do not question the fact that equal rights should be granted to anyone. We must respect the ideas of others, they tell us. But in the metaphysical sphere, in the eternity of God, this battle between Good and Evil is not secular or ecumenical: it is real, as are the armies deployed, that of the Civitas Dei and that of the civitas diaboli. The angels of Heaven and the apostate spirits of Hell have nothing to do with conciliar irenicism: they are waging a battle in which as many souls as possible must be snatched from the adversary. The saints who intercede for us have not read Fratelli Tutti, and St. Michael’s scales are not calibrated to the “case-by-case morality” or “situation ethics” of a heretical Jesuit or to the pastoral contortions of the synodal path."
Vigano holds out no arm of hope to anyone who understands history and the policies and doctrines of the Vatican. Vigano cares for the Catholic Church and only the Catholic Church, as any "traditional" Catholic would believe and proclaim. There can be no democracy in the world because there is no democracy in the war between good and evil. Democracy is a ruse! That is Romanism 101. Vigano consistently speaks against the synod of Vatican 2. For him, that was the big fall of dominoes which leads Catholics to the condition of the RCC today.
Well, look. You know I believe the USA is a Constitutional Republic and not a democracy. Just the same, the nation employs elements of democracy to function. Rights and place in society framed by free elections and rights to vote. A slow history to be sure but, one that came of full age in time. Now, the pendulum swings far left. Forget free elections and rights to vote. They just steal elections through technology. But, that's another subject. Or is it?
Vigano blows the trumpet to warn the world of totalitarianism, when his own church has that policy at its base.
"We must rediscover this dimension of realism and objectivity, which they have made us lose step by step, or which they have taught us to be ashamed of. We are milites Christi, soldiers of Christ, called to fight an enemy who would like to strike us in the back or make us desert cowardly, because he knows that when he fights us openly, behind us he finds the Immaculate Virgin, terribilis ut castrorum acies ordinata. This Mother whom the Enemy hates in all the mothers of the earth, this Wife of the Lamb whom he vilifies by attacking the sanctity of Marriage and domestic virtues, this Woman whom he humiliates by disfiguring femininity or making an obscene parody of it."
All Christians know the character of Mary, the mother of Jesus, because the Gospels display it. All Christians DO NOT consider Mary to be of an immaculate nature. Nor do they believe she now abides as the Queen of Heaven and Mediatrix of all graces. For Vigano, doctrines surrounding Mary are a force for him to fight upon. That is Romanism. Vigano hits all the right buttons regarding the exposure of the totalitarians but, never forget, he is a traditional Catholic. If you are a Protestant, you are a heretic, plain and simple, and not part of any rebuilding of Christendom.
"If in the Civitas Dei Christ reigns, who reigns in the civitas diaboli but the Antichrist? Thus, if in the bene ordinata respublicathe true, the good and the beautiful are the theological expression of the perfections of God; in the globalist republic the false, the evil and the ugly are the most obvious manifestation of them. So much so that it has to become a general norm, a law of the state, a moral precept to which one must conform. Even in this case, if you pay attention, another deception is proposed again: that the tyranny of rulers and clergy justified by papist superstition has been definitively erased from revolutionary society, to be replaced by the government of the people under the auspices of the goddess Reason. Today we see how tyrannical are the globalist Leviathan and the Bergoglian Sanhedrin, united in their denial and in their betrayal of their role as rulers of the State and pastors of the Church."
!!! Vigano calls the NWO antichrist in harmony with most all evangelical commentators today. Well, he should. It's all the doctrine of Futurism and the RCC is the founder of that doctrine. You tell me how an archbishop can refer to the Pope as a member of a globalist Leviathan and apostate Sanhedrin, denying and betraying their roles as what? RULERS OF THE STATE. That, my Friend, is old fashioned Roman Catholicism, and Vigano may end up becoming Pope by espousing it. But, wait, you say. That old Romanism could never fly with either true Protestants or fake ones. Why would the College of Cardinals elect such a firebrand, when Francis is off the throne? It is the same with Trump. So many in the Republican Party consider him the leader of it, they will either self-destruct trying to stop him or they will acquiesce and grant him a second term in 2024. Trump is in the news every single day. He is obviously still POTUS in the minds of tens of millions of people. The processes involved in attempting to stop him are ceaseless and have been for six years now. Vigano could become the next Pope. It is certainly unlikely Francis will make him a Cardinal but, not necessary. The ignorance of the prophetic Daughters of the Whore - apostate Protestants - would and do see Vigano as a champion, perhaps the only one on the world stage now, besides Trump. Do not be surprised if events and movements arise to allow Vigano the "Chair of Peter." It was not that long ago President Ronald Regan and Pope John Paul II conspired together to bring down Communism in Eastern Europe. No surprise if Trump and Vigano worked to bring down the NWO. The thing to be concerned with is, what comes after that?
Vigano finishes his speech by assuring his listeners the globalists will fail, and the Catholic apostasy will fail. You should ask yourself how such a man continues to freely speak against the Pope of his church. I believe it is all a conspiracy. No theory. The history of the Roman Catholic Church, its Papacy, its Vatican, and its desire for world domination for Christ, is plentiful enough to believe with clarity and assurance Vigano is some type of plant to gain the trust of people who will be used to bring about Papal ascendance once again. And that ascendance will not be like the Dark Ages. No. It doesn't need to be, to fulfill prophecy. A pope must arise that will have great influence in the world and gain in the end. That's all. Just that can and will tip the dominoes of world demise into a final apostasy of the laws of man against the law of God.
The end is coming. Slowly or swiftly, it is coming.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
You may be aware the same kind of thing is taking place in the Catholic Church. The Donald Trump of the Catholic Church right now is Archbishop Carlo Vigano. Vigano has been handing both Catholic and non-Catholic society semi-regular treatises that speak against the "Bergoglian-wing" of the RCC - that of Pope Francis - and uplifts true Catholics and Catholicism.
Given the current condition of what may be called "Protestantism," it is no surprise Vigano has fans all throughout what can be called "Christendom." His recent speech at a conference in France, August 14, was a call to "rebuild Christendom" as a force to wage war against the Great Reset Totalitarians. More and more Catholics show desire he should become Pope. While only members of the College of Cardinals have been elected Pope for the last 600 years, it is, in fact, possible for any Roman Catholic male to be elected Pope, and in previous times, Bishops have been. The last non-cardinal to be elected was Urban the VI, in 1379.
For me, being a Protestant by principle, not societal placement, has taught me that Roman Catholicism acts the chameleon when necessary or advantageous. She cannot be trusted, period. She may produce both solid patriots to any nation she resides in, and reasonable, rational, thinking people who love the Lord but, because of what she is, at her base of existence, "antechristos," in place of Christ, she can have no allegiance with those who truly seek the kingdom of God. "It is a backsliding church that lessens the distance between itself and the Papacy." That used to be the understanding of Protestantism. That ethic is all but, gone now.
https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/abp-vigano-globalist-doctrine-is-essentially-satanic-we-must-rebuild-christendom/
To the speech, itself. Vigano always reveals himself, regardless of playing the man of all free people.
"Everything is a lie when it comes to Satan. The premises are false: Your God oppresses you with heavy precepts. The promises are false: You can decide and get what you want. And everything is a lie too when Satan’s minions are organising to establish the dystopia of the New World Order."
Speak against the New World Order and your fan-base increases exponentially, and Vigano has played the NWO card with great effect among both Catholics and non-Catholics.
The NWO, Great Reset is a totalitarian enterprise: control of the planet. But, the enterprise of the RCC, Papacy and Vatican is the same: world-wide dominion. It is the same as Islam after it. It is the same as Pagan Rome before it. It is the same as all entities that desire total control on Earth. The Papacy's desire to have control of all the Earth has been derailed so many times in history it no longer makes grand, sweeping statements about the Catholic Church, "Christ's true church," overseeing the affairs of all the world. That said, 21st century Vigano plays cards that bring the premise very close to chest. He just shuffles things around a bit.
"Through the Great Reset, they want to erase Western Christian society in order to establish a liberal-communist synarchy on the model of the Chinese dictatorship, in which the entire population is controlled and manoeuvrable at will. In a society inspired, if even only in a small way by Catholic values, the financial power groups and the New World Order elite would have no place. But this should not lead us to believe that their opposition to Christian society is merely economically and politically motivated. In reality, what triggers this hatred is that there might be, even in the most remote corner of the planet, a possible alternative to the globalist dystopia, a world in which the employer can honestly pay his employees, in which the state imposes reasonable taxes on its citizens, in which charities render services free of charge and without speculation, in which the innocence of children is respected and LGBTQ+ propaganda is not permitted. A world in which the Social Reign of Jesus Christ is shown to be not only possible, but the best form of society, administered for the common good and for the glory of God."
The Social reign of Jesus Christ. Not the spiritual reign. The social reign. Societal reign. Even though Jesus said, point blank, "My kingdom is not of this world," there are ever forces on the planet trying to establish a reign of Christ, and Vigano makes no bones about it. He does not appeal to "biblical values," he appeals to "Catholic values." Why? Because true Catholics hold no space for non-Catholic entities whose foundation is the Bible, and "the Bible alone as the only rule of faith and practice for the believer."

646. Project Blue Beam - September 3, 2022
Those of you reading who may be into the whole UFO phenomena longer and more deeply than me, probably know of "Project Blue Beam." I happened to have my first exposure to the idea and in looking things up, "conspiracy theory" is so super-glued to this subject, common sense informs me it must have some credibility.
Here's a link to a short YT video that has info on the subject via Canadian journalist, Serge Monast, 1994. He died a short time after the exposure of the project.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUnqisjvO74
In doing a search I found this site, which has quite a bit of information, which I have only just begin getting into and DO NOT ENDORSE, because I cannot endorse a site I haven't fully checked out, especially where religious biblical commentary comes in. The site and/or information goes back to at least 2000.
https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/esp_sociopol_bluebeam.htm#menu
This seems to be a video based on the information at that website.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPAYbbGLYlE
There are bands named Blue Beam and even a Rapper song about it. The term has become so ubiquitous when coupled with laser shows or holographic programs, it is almost or even commonplace now. Few realize the term has such sinister background.
In this age is mis and disinformation, no one should be surprised at anything that is out there. That is why I trust the Bible, and the Bible, alone, when it comes to trustworthy, lifechanging information. It is the only anvil that has held up to the hammers of time and those who swing them.
My own curiosity was piqued simply because of my longtime belief that Satan will use the UFO/ET phenomena to pull off some kind of "angel of light" deception in the last days. That and the times I have come across interviews of people claiming the UFO phenomena is linked to God and Christ and His second coming. So, after 40 years of that, coming upon Project Blue Beam seemed a pretty interesting subject.
What is Project Blue Beam? A planned event, using holographic images to do two things: a fake alien invasion, world-wide and a fake second coming of a "Christ," a messiah to establish a new world order and one world religion. Hm. Sound familiar? The variations on the theme are several. You'll see them or read them at the provided links. This is an ongoing education for me on this subject.
Let's unpack this.
Holograms are now old technology, incredibly refined. I recently saw a baseball game played on the "Field of Dreams." The Chicago White Sox vs. the Chicago Cubs. Around the 7th inning the crowd sang, "Take Me Out to the Ballgame." Who led the singing? No, what led the singing. A hologram of beloved, long since passed away, baseball announcer, Harry Caray. Not paying close attention, in and out of the room, I just thought some old guy was leading the song from an announcer's booth. Hologram!?! I was dumfounded when I heard that fact announced. Holograms of famous deceased entertainers, including Michael Jackson, have been used to the fascination of audiences around the world. We are lightyears past Princess Lea and Star Wars, 1977. Just look it up on YT and see how far things have come, what we see, not what we are not yet allowed to see, which is always in advance of what the public knows exists, when it comes to science.
Talk about an education. Watch these kids react in a school gymnasium -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPKvChFRe0A
Watch the little boy's reaction and this was at least 8 years ago -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CqUYBopWLs
Whether or not the world-wide infrastructure exists to project such things in the sky seems moot, to me. Satellites could do the same thing, top down, rather than bottom up. The tech exists. A big usable network of ground-based and satellite technology.
If you remember my post about well-known UFO/ET proponent, Stephen Greer, and his mention of a plan to fake the second coming of Christ, told to him by a European leader, within the last year or more, we are way past 1994.
Add in this. All over the world sounds are being heard in sky. Just watch the videos on YT. News broadcasts around the world have put these events out there. Some sound like enormous trumpet or ram's horn blasts. Some sound like heavy equipment or machinery, some sound like low end frequencies, some sound like some kind of strange alien/angelic choir singing. That phenomena has been around awhile now. No decent explanations have yet been given for all the circumstances surrounding these world-wide happenings. Could they be tied into technology of sound projection? If so, c'mon. A little common sense, here. What good is an alien invasion without sound? What good is a second coming of Christ without trumpets literally loud enough to wake the dead?
The idea seems to be, and some believe it's coming in 2024, the controllers will stage this holographic alien invasion to scare the world, big time. Add to that whatever energy weapons already in use, weather machines already in use, frequency devices already in use and you can turn the world upside down with storms, earthquakes, frying people, driving people mad, and here come the aliens... HELP! Save us!
Then comes the rescue; the second coming of a "Christ." The ultimate goal is to convince the world all religions are not true, have no intrinsic value for the common good of humanity with all its wars and such, and the time has presented itself to have a one-world religion based on the "Christ" standing, well, floating above the Earth, speaking to its inhabitants in all languages. The whole gig eclipses anything by a Hollywood half a billion dollar production. Which is one of the reasons it is considered nonsense. On the other hand, BILLIONS of dollars in wasted taxes, collected and thrown away by foolish politicians and governments year after year, on a global basis exist. The money is there for an extravaganza beyond anything Hollywood could produce. Certainly the controllers have the money. They own everything! They all fly in private jets around the world, planning their schemes of world domination, and no longer hide in shadows. It's all out in the open.
Of course, it could all be just a story, a "conspiracy theory." On the other hand, why is it constantly being told to us UFOs, now supposedly spiced up to be "UAPs," are a possible or real "threat?" Every rep and talking head of the government and televised UFO community state it that way. Threat, threat, threat. Fear, fear, fear. Haven't we seen and heard enough of that in the last two years? The controllers are the disinformation experts.
Was it not Ronald Reagan who stood before the UN and stated how the world would put aside all differences if an outside threat was upon the globe we all share? I'm sure you have seen the videos of that speech. That is almost 40 years ago now.
Since that time the UFO phenomena has exploded, and now, in the last five years we have the U.S. government acknowledging what they claimed was nonsense and scoffed at for 80 years: the real existence of stuff flying around out there that cannot be explained or controlled.
Obviously, stuff flying around in your airspace, uninvited, without permission, causes concern. A threat? Really? There's your nonsense. Stuff flying around at thousands of mph, zigzagging in all directions, out of sight in seconds. Yeah, if a threat, that would have been realized when America dropped the first atom bomb.
I have no idea if Project Blue Beam is real. I can add, though, and 2's are popping up all over the place. If it's all a ruse, so be it. If it's all coming, be ready. One way or another Lucifer has his final plans for deception. The last dog and pony show. The Bible warns us. We have no excuses if delusions overtake us. It's on and has been since war in Heaven. That also means false prophecies, false churches, false ministers, false revivals with delusional signs, wonders and "miracles."
Everybody can see the world is coming unglued. Between science stating extinction events can be here at any time, like some super solar flare/sun blast or, collision with some city-sized, renegade meteor/asteroid or, a great cascade of calderas around the world or, just threat of nuclear war... there seems no end to the list of possible "It's all over" scenarios. And this is no Hollywood ultimate disaster production. These are all real possibilities. Add to that UFO threats?
The day I watched a tree burning from the inside out, in those fires in California that reduced houses to powder while trees stood standing nearby, nobody had to drive it home weird tech exists out there and is being used by maniacal minds.
Everything is now a set up. Nothing is normal. Nothing is as usual. Everything is suspect. Sorry. I have no other logical choice. The Bible predicts the last days. Strange things are happening. 2+2+2+2 does equal 8.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Here's a link to a short YT video that has info on the subject via Canadian journalist, Serge Monast, 1994. He died a short time after the exposure of the project.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUnqisjvO74
In doing a search I found this site, which has quite a bit of information, which I have only just begin getting into and DO NOT ENDORSE, because I cannot endorse a site I haven't fully checked out, especially where religious biblical commentary comes in. The site and/or information goes back to at least 2000.
https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/esp_sociopol_bluebeam.htm#menu
This seems to be a video based on the information at that website.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPAYbbGLYlE
There are bands named Blue Beam and even a Rapper song about it. The term has become so ubiquitous when coupled with laser shows or holographic programs, it is almost or even commonplace now. Few realize the term has such sinister background.
In this age is mis and disinformation, no one should be surprised at anything that is out there. That is why I trust the Bible, and the Bible, alone, when it comes to trustworthy, lifechanging information. It is the only anvil that has held up to the hammers of time and those who swing them.
My own curiosity was piqued simply because of my longtime belief that Satan will use the UFO/ET phenomena to pull off some kind of "angel of light" deception in the last days. That and the times I have come across interviews of people claiming the UFO phenomena is linked to God and Christ and His second coming. So, after 40 years of that, coming upon Project Blue Beam seemed a pretty interesting subject.
What is Project Blue Beam? A planned event, using holographic images to do two things: a fake alien invasion, world-wide and a fake second coming of a "Christ," a messiah to establish a new world order and one world religion. Hm. Sound familiar? The variations on the theme are several. You'll see them or read them at the provided links. This is an ongoing education for me on this subject.
Let's unpack this.
Holograms are now old technology, incredibly refined. I recently saw a baseball game played on the "Field of Dreams." The Chicago White Sox vs. the Chicago Cubs. Around the 7th inning the crowd sang, "Take Me Out to the Ballgame." Who led the singing? No, what led the singing. A hologram of beloved, long since passed away, baseball announcer, Harry Caray. Not paying close attention, in and out of the room, I just thought some old guy was leading the song from an announcer's booth. Hologram!?! I was dumfounded when I heard that fact announced. Holograms of famous deceased entertainers, including Michael Jackson, have been used to the fascination of audiences around the world. We are lightyears past Princess Lea and Star Wars, 1977. Just look it up on YT and see how far things have come, what we see, not what we are not yet allowed to see, which is always in advance of what the public knows exists, when it comes to science.
Talk about an education. Watch these kids react in a school gymnasium -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPKvChFRe0A
Watch the little boy's reaction and this was at least 8 years ago -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CqUYBopWLs
Whether or not the world-wide infrastructure exists to project such things in the sky seems moot, to me. Satellites could do the same thing, top down, rather than bottom up. The tech exists. A big usable network of ground-based and satellite technology.
If you remember my post about well-known UFO/ET proponent, Stephen Greer, and his mention of a plan to fake the second coming of Christ, told to him by a European leader, within the last year or more, we are way past 1994.
Add in this. All over the world sounds are being heard in sky. Just watch the videos on YT. News broadcasts around the world have put these events out there. Some sound like enormous trumpet or ram's horn blasts. Some sound like heavy equipment or machinery, some sound like low end frequencies, some sound like some kind of strange alien/angelic choir singing. That phenomena has been around awhile now. No decent explanations have yet been given for all the circumstances surrounding these world-wide happenings. Could they be tied into technology of sound projection? If so, c'mon. A little common sense, here. What good is an alien invasion without sound? What good is a second coming of Christ without trumpets literally loud enough to wake the dead?
The idea seems to be, and some believe it's coming in 2024, the controllers will stage this holographic alien invasion to scare the world, big time. Add to that whatever energy weapons already in use, weather machines already in use, frequency devices already in use and you can turn the world upside down with storms, earthquakes, frying people, driving people mad, and here come the aliens... HELP! Save us!
Then comes the rescue; the second coming of a "Christ." The ultimate goal is to convince the world all religions are not true, have no intrinsic value for the common good of humanity with all its wars and such, and the time has presented itself to have a one-world religion based on the "Christ" standing, well, floating above the Earth, speaking to its inhabitants in all languages. The whole gig eclipses anything by a Hollywood half a billion dollar production. Which is one of the reasons it is considered nonsense. On the other hand, BILLIONS of dollars in wasted taxes, collected and thrown away by foolish politicians and governments year after year, on a global basis exist. The money is there for an extravaganza beyond anything Hollywood could produce. Certainly the controllers have the money. They own everything! They all fly in private jets around the world, planning their schemes of world domination, and no longer hide in shadows. It's all out in the open.
Of course, it could all be just a story, a "conspiracy theory." On the other hand, why is it constantly being told to us UFOs, now supposedly spiced up to be "UAPs," are a possible or real "threat?" Every rep and talking head of the government and televised UFO community state it that way. Threat, threat, threat. Fear, fear, fear. Haven't we seen and heard enough of that in the last two years?

647. Yes, I'm a Dinosaur - August 4, 2022
Yes, I'm a dinosaur. I know that.
My website has not changed since I created it in 2010. I just add stuff to it.
Someone pointed out my links don't work. Nope. I am using the free Weebly site so, options are limited. Which is why I mention to copy and paste links or hi-lite and right click on them. Dinosaur. The person who mentioned it gave me the low down on how people just move along very quick when things, like hyperlinks, on web sites don't work. I believe that is called, impatience. Patience, being a virtue, is a rare commodity in a world where speed determines just about everything. Honestly, if someone is not patient enough, or does not have the wherewithal to copy and paste or hi-lite and right click on a link, I must question if there is anything on this web site they would be seriously interested in, in any acute way.
I started this web site to share. I like to share. I play drums and make videos to share. I write to share, and look; I enjoy creating things for this web site and typing and seeing results on a screen, and no "whiteout." Astonishing. The youth have no idea. It's all about sharing, for me. And I mean, for me. I lead a pretty isolated life and I do things on this site for me. Keeps me sane. If others are blessed in any way, great. But, I never began the site to have tons of traffic. I made the site for me. Therapeutic, if you will. Oh, sure, one hopes a lot of people will come by and will make a lot of new contacts and join a band and make a living and all the rest of the stuff people think about when they put up some kind of personal or business web site. Then the reality of a billion other websites sets in and if you want to compete, expect to drown in tech. I'm not here to compete. I'm here for me and to share what I'm interested in. No one else may be interested in it. That's okay. I'm here for me and my spirit, soul and body.
Putting up the new video on my YT channel, the re-mixed and re-mastered Concepts for Solo Drum Set, some of the frequency range was lost; some of the brilliance and soundstage John Mayes applied. Well, I have the original master files so, I notice the nuances and subtleties lost but, in reality, how many will just listen with laptop speakers or inexpensive earbuds or adequate computer speakers? And if they listen with devices that are hi-fidelity, they all have their zones of reproducing things so, one way or another the details of what were gained in the remixing and remastering might not be noticed, anyway. Yes, I know the video is a dinosaur; just one picture per solo but, I thought, in my dinosaur way of thinking; let the listener look at that one photo and really listen to what is being played: the soundfield of it all. Well, for all I know, the recording will be playing in the background while people view all kinds of other websites. There is no control. No way of knowing. No path to go down to know if listeners care anything for sonic details in a drum recording. So, may as well keep it simple. Keep it for those who do care about the aural experience and don't need all the visual stuff to keep them interested.
When we were young, we bought an album, got through the cellophane, placed it on the turntable, and sat and listened to the music; maybe laid down on our beds with some headphones. We looked at the album covers, and listened. Today, it's about the visual. It's all about the tech 'bells and whistles.' It is what it is. I'm not complaining about technology. I'm just observing how it is impacting a generation addicted to it.
Professional web sites are slick, of course, especially those who constantly keep their clients up with all the 'bells and whistles.' I am not a 'bells and whistles' person, until it comes to percussion. Otherwise, I live simply, and for me, keeping complications at a minimum is optimum. I think people who know tech are pretty cool. I have been aided by them to great blessing; most recently, John Mayes mixing and mastering my three drum solo recordings. He did some amazing things. I can't thank him enough. And he is a real tech-guy, too. Been into it for a long time.
I mentioned to my friend that if this site went away or never existed, the world still moves along, and a few billion websites will still have more information than anyone could gain in a hundred lifetimes. Same with my YT channel. If it goes away, the world goes on. And, factually, only around 10% or less of people who watch YT videos will read the explanation info. I cannot tell you how many times, on my own channel or others, people will make comments or ask things addressed or answered in the explanation info. People don't like to read. They just want to watch.
Hey, I'm no great reader. I read rather slowly, and aside from the Bible and some particular news sites (and most times I'm just looking at headlines), I don't read very much. That said, I do a lot of research on various things and I have to read a lot to gain information I need but, we all know it is a visual age. People want to watch, not read.
I feel no burden or compunction to entertain the 1 minute generation of TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or whatever else is out there, that people bury their faces in their cell phones all day about. Not my thing. Yeah, I know. Dinosaur. So what? Really. So what?
With all the information highway literally at people's fingertips, we now have a generation of young people that can barely think their way through a coloring book. If someone is not acting like an idiot or swearing at them every other word, they can't stay interested. Frankly, I'll take being a dinosaur any day.
I mean no particular offense to any young person who might actually be reading this. If you are, you are ahead of the crowd by miles. There is a reason why old high school yearbooks, with black and white photos of 18 year old's look like they are all 30. And maturity back then was questioned by the 'dinosaurs' back then. Compared to today? With all the problems to address, those generations won world wars, manufactured everything under the sun and took pride in it, built things to last, and went to the moon with only the Apollo Guidance Computers. DINOSAURS.
Predictions are now pretty easy to make. I believe, if time goes on and we don't blow up the world, A.I. and CGI will become the lion's share of all media and all arts. Holographic entertainers will become the thing, as well as teachers in classrooms, and all other kinds of ways they can be used to replace humans. It may be artificial but, is not humanity becoming artificial? In my day, kids were mean to each other. Now? They physically hurt and even kill each other. They think it's cool to put it on Facebook. Acting like a fool is cool. Being as raunchy and guttural as someone can get away with without reproach, is the thing. The more inhuman one is, the more cool one becomes. And if reproach comes, they find ways to get even raunchier and flip the bird to the world.
The other day, I clicked on one of those quick YT videos. Being all lined up on top of each other, I began to go down the rungs of this supposedly entertaining ladder. A young woman paraded into a room followed by a man and some children. Children. A song was superimposed and the lyrics went something like, 'I don't want no man with a small d--k.' Children in the video. Class. Real class.
They can't read. They can't spell. They cannot speak decent English. And worse, certain people from my generation or before are the ones all fueled up to turn the youth into worthless zombies who care only about money and sex. Well, someone says, doesn't the Bible say the love of money is the root of all evil? It does. Ancient problems. Nothing new under the sun. It's all just getting worse.
I'm a sinner in need of a Saviour. "I am chief of sinners." If I am a dinosaur whose time of extinction has come, so be it. I'm glad I lived when I did. If all humanity is about to exist in is tech, I'll pass.
"Darkness covers the Earth, and gross darkness the people."
"Wait, how did you jump from being a dinosaur without a techie website to societal breakdown and religion? "
I rest my case.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

A Message for Biden
A sincere appeal to Mr. Biden, from a Ghanaian immigrant, newly made a citizen of the U.S.A.
https://www.tiktok.com/@willfulpositivity/video/7138609958198758698?is_from_webapp=v1&item_id=7138609958198758698
As I watched and listened, I wish he had stated America is a Constitutional Republic but, his obvious heartfelt sincerity and articulation of his beliefs has much to share.
Frankly, all things considered, as viral as the video is going, he'll be preaching to the choir. I doubt diehard Leftists will be moved. They will shrug or laugh it off. Tragic.
He is hardly alone. Millions coming to the U.S. wonder what is going on, shocked at what they are seeing and experiencing.
It ain't our grandparents America anymore.

Concepts for Solo Drum Set 2 -Solongs -
Now on My YouTube Channel
The second Concepts album is up and ready to hear. Had a dog of a time preparing this video. More pictures involved and still not too swift using the Windows video maker. You really need to pay attention to photos that you checkmark. Forget it, and placing duration times can be a nightmare. Three tries and two days later, I believe it's good to go.
I tried a different approach on this recording, layering things; percussion and such in various solos. I'm never totally pleased with my performances but, as I state - Nothing I do is perfect. Everything I do is passionate.
Once again, great thanks to John Mayes for his wonderful mixing and mastering of the raw recorded files. He does a splendid job. The set really comes alive.
As always, an album of drum solos is definitely not for everybody, including drummers. But, for those who love the sounds of drums and cymbals, I believe you'll like the variety.
Here's the link if you're interested -

To Transition or Not Transition? That is the Question.
Saw this on Twitter after watching something else, completely unconnected. It's sad, tragic, even. Some would say criminal. It speaks for itself.

Apparently this "former" female is living the nightmare, and is traumatized, not just for her but, all the young people who literally have no idea what they are doing.
I am compelled to pass it on.
This is the amazing video I actually went to Twitter to watch. It's almost unbelievable. If all kids were like this, imagine the world we'd be living in. Honesty is gold.

Dangerous!?????!
I'm serious. You cannot make this stuff up. When the opposite of dangerous, is dangerous. But, that is Leftism.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/watch-msnbc-reporter-says-its-deeply-dangerous-cover-both-sides-story
“There are two words we need to remove from our media vocabulary right now and that is ‘both sides,’” Hasan said during an interview with former New York Times reporter Ben Smith.
"Hasan continued, “This fundamental crutch, this reliance on ‘both sides’ as a kind of lazy way of covering our political moment is deeply dangerous.”
“There are a bunch of major issues on which there are not both sides,” Hasan further proclaimed, stating “There are not both sides on climate change. There are not both sides on white supremacy. There are not both sides to democracy. Ben, there are not both sides on the Holocaust.”
“On the big issues of our time, on whether people should be able to vote, on whether they should be able to get to a ballot box, on whether one party should be able to overturn elections, no there are not both sides,” Hasan further asserted."
I love the way that last statement is phrased. The issue is not whether one party should be able to overturn elections. The issue is that one party absolutely DID overturn a federal election by administering a cauldron of criminal activity proven by so many investigators it's sickening. And the proof continues to come in a year and a half later.
The rest of the article addresses the lunacy of this position just fine.
Like people say, "Even a piece of paper has six sides."
These are the people now in control of the federal government. DEMOCRACY. Never forget it's definition. Always remember those who want democracy to run the nation are not informed Americans; those who understand the USA is a Constitutional Republic. Huge difference. And they know it, and are subversive, or do not know it, and should not be in positions of responsibility because of their incredible ignorance.

648. Why is There Pain and Suffering? - September 10, 2022
Why is there so much pain and suffering? That is actually an ancient question but, the wrong question. The more pressing question is, Why don't more people understand the fall of man and the nature of sin?
Sin is the reason for pain and suffering in our world: disobedience to the moral law of God. He told everyone from the beginning what happened. All knew. Lucifer's rebellion and fall, Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel, the Deluge, the rise of Babylon and Nimrod and all of it. Mankind knew. All was told and passed down generation to generation. They refused to allow the Creator His due place in the Sovereignty of the world. They conjured lies, tried to do their own thing to make life another garden of Eden. Failure has encompassed all such plans and efforts for millennia after millennia.
When Moses wrote Genesis it all became history encoded in the Law. These were not symbolic stories. It was not allegory or metaphor. It was history. It was regarded as history for all people alive. The treatment of it today or previous centuries that watched the faith corrupted by heretics and pagans was not the way Genesis was regarded by God's people for 4,000 years, as well as a good many other nations and peoples. Other nations and societies may have had there own histories but, it is yet unknown just how many ancient societies regarded the destruction by a flood as real history. That is a planetary phenomenon. In ancient times God found ways to get the history of the world to kings, like Cyrus.
When Cyrus was shown his name in the Hebrew record, 150 years before he was born, what impression do you think that made? How far and wide did such a such a revelation travel to other nations and people?
All understood pain and suffering came as a result of sin. There was no reason to doubt that. Some regarded God as just for His actions, others considered Him a tyrant, regardless of the blessings continually bestowed on all humanity. God was mean. He judged Lucifer, angels, then Adam and Eve, and their descendants are fallen from the perfect estate of their progenitors. Even today, maybe more than ever, humanity wants to disregard consequences, responsibility and accountability for their actions. Sin is almost a lost word in modern society.
Today, why do so many ask about pain and suffering? Because they do not know Genesis as history. Even the Roman Catholic Church teaches Genesis 1-11 is all imagery, not real history. And they are no longer alone. Many professed Protestant groups teach the same thing. Yet, somehow, Genesis 12 all of a sudden became real history. It's folly. And, of course, those who preceded Darwin jumped on board when he wrote Origin of the Species in the 19th century. And today, as sure as Darwin was that the ground would reveal all the changes that took place over time, in levels of creatures changing through mutations, seen in the fossil record, has proved the opposite. The fossil record defies Naturalism. Darwinism has ruined the souls of millions who believe there is no Creator. It all happened naturally, over time. The condition of this world is not a matter of morals and fall from morals. It is just the condition of life. All life: naturally antagonistic, naturally just trying to survive; the fittest carrying on. That lie is at the base of all misunderstanding of pain and suffering in this world.
Even atheists recognize the horror that would exist if all the world had no foundation for morals and more than whatever any society decides upon. That is a recipe for absolute disaster. Especially now that the world has the capacity to destroy itself with modern weaponry. Yet, despite the obvious of what would be if everything functioned without morality, Lucifer is considered part of the fairy tale, part of the allegorical, metaphorical information in the Bible. It is considered worthless to be a guide for how humanity should act toward their fellowman. Science is God. Ask Fauci. Science is not moral; does not address morality and cannot address morality. Certainly not in absolutes, which is why killing babies means nothing to Naturalists. Life is an accident. Life is survival of the fittest and if the fittest decides to kill the baby inside her, that is not of anybody else' business. It's not a helpless baby. It's just a mass of tissue. Lie.
There are many professing Christians who say Christ is the Ruler of this world. That is biblically inaccurate. And because that belief exists, and the non-believing world asks their questions off of that platform, it is obvious they look at the suffering, the pain, the agony all around us and take the logical position: God, Christ, religion is a joke. It's invalid on the face of it, if God does nothing to stop the suffering. It's His responsibility. He's the Ruler of this world, isn't He? No. Not yet.
Jesus said, Lucifer is the prince of this world, John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11. The Greek word translated 'prince' in the KJV, is "archon," and it means chief, ruler and leader. It is translated that way in many Bible versions. The world is ruled and run by Satan and his hosts. God intervenes at the request of His people and because God is God, He is in control because He knows all; knows the end from the beginning. Nothing can surprise Him or, catch Him off guard or unprepared for any and all situations that develop on Earth. That said, as Satan himself told God, he is going up and down the Earth, and aside from Job, he was basically at the helm, steering the ship of humanity, Job 1:6-12.
The Apostle Paul wrote that Lucifer is in control of the world's atmosphere, Eph 2:2, as the prince of the power of the air, and controls the children of disobedience through his incredible powers. He wrote that Lucifer is the "god of this world," 2 Cor. 4:4, blinding minds of humanity that they not see the truth. Lucifer is the most powerful creature God created. It is not just physical power. His mind and powers of temptation and persuasion are far beyond what mortal men can withstand. Pain and suffering result.
When you have this fallen humanity, controlled by this fallen angel who hates God, hates His people, hates everything and everyone, pain and suffering is assured; it's a given; no way around it.
People who believe Genesis is history do not ask why suffering exists. They know why. All war engages in pain and suffering. There was war in Heaven. Lucifer was cast out. There is war on Earth; a conflict that goes on every moment of every day down through history, being fought in realms, in dimensions we cannot see, between forces of good and forces of evil. The fallout is what we see, as it all affects humanity. The leaders of Ukraine are now saying, World War 3 is almost upon us and they see nukes being dropped at some point. It all stems from the first war, in Heaven, transferred to this world.
Pain and suffering will exist until Christ returns, resurrects His people to immortality, changes the living to immortality and takes His people home. Factually, pain and suffering is going to increase; exponentially so by the time the seven last plagues arrive in judgment upon the wicked. The world is ending, and at this point, right now, prognosticators reading financial signs of the times, reading political signs, reading military signs, reading elitist signs and world-wide movements, predict starvation is coming, home-loss and freezing for millions is coming, entire economies are going to collapse; nations are going to implode. No Bible, mind you. No biblical prophecy; just catastrophe of "biblical proportions."
Bible prophecy is not any more allegorical than today's money managers predicting crashes based on signs of financial times. It is history in advance. That is what Bible prophecy is: God telling us what is coming so we can prepare and get our spiritual houses in order.
People looking for Utopia; some Shangri-la to abide in, are set-up for delusion when it seems to arrive - "Peace and safety" - then "sudden destruction" will come, 1 Thes. 5:1-3.
I live with pain every day. Hardly a day goes by I don't hurt myself in some way because I'm just one of those 'accidents waiting to happen' people. I live with pain all the time. It would be hard for me to imagine a world without pain and suffering but, it will come. It is promised and we can trust prophetic promise to accomplish exactly what it says will happen.
Consider this, in closing. When it comes to fulfillment of prophecy, patience is necessary. Patience is a virtue, it is a character trait, and the only thing God truly cares about is developing a righteous character in those who enter eternity. That is paramount. Not wealth. Not comfort. Not ease. Not convenience. Character. Pain and suffering is present, and enduring it builds character. It is all a mess in this world yet, from this mess God has ways to build character in each of us to make us safe to bring home to live among angels in the presence of holiness, righteousness, and light of the sort mankind has seen only once in history - His story - the life of Christ. The Father desires His people to become Christlike. When a generation develops that character, the Messiah will return to gather His people from the four corners of the Earth and then, then life as it was meant to be will begin - again for Adam and Eve, for the angelic host involved in constant warfare, and for the first time for us, caught in this war. Then it will be back to normality as God designed it: the "old" normal, the normal that existed before the great rebellion and all that followed. The old normal that shall bless the redeemed forever.
1Cor 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
1Co 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
Those who believe, who love God, "see" the things coming in the true reality; things placed all throughout the Bible which speak of what awaits those who experience eternity. The descriptions, the promises, the hope. We see. No, we cannot even imagine because our dulled senses cannot truly conceptualize what is coming but, to believe is to have hope. Hope and patience are brothers. Character results from that brotherhood.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

649. The Prince of the Power of the Air - September 10, 2022
After just posting the previous blog on pain and suffering I thought to add another.
All over the planet records of drought, storm and flooding, are being broken. Southern California getting a year's worth of rain in 24 hours? Europe experiencing drought like never before. China, Australia; the news has articles on these things taking place every week.
Right away there is that suspicious element in modern society that immediately wants to blame the U.S. military, the Russians, the Chinese, the globalist billionaire, black budget entities that are messing around with weather and controlling it. Even if all of that were accurate and true, it seems far more logical to me to realize the atmosphere has been under the control of an entity mentioned 2000 years ago in the Bible - the prince of the power of the air. Lucifer, the fallen angel; Satan, the Devil has already been pegged to be responsible for disasters of air and land.
Again, Paul called Satan the prince of the power of the air. The ruler, the chief power source for controlling the power of the air, Ephesians 2:2. His power is well beyond anything we can know. I would even include nuclear arms. The devastation Satan and his hosts could wreak on the world, overnight would be total and irrevocable.
Personally, since living in Texas, I cannot remember so many Haboobs, sand and dust storms, in the news. Another one struck the Phoenix area yesterday, the second in one week. They are associated with Monsoon rains, which fall with such ferocity they move currents of air and lift layers of sand off the surface.
While some would say, it is all natural, which, in fact, is the case when the right physical circumstances develop, an entire planet undergoing all these weather events at the same time? I see another reason, another source. It definitely is NOT "climate change," one of the biggest BS positions ever palmed off on the human race. The "climate change," former global cooling, then global warming end of the world nonsense is nothing more than a plan to gain control of nations and their populations by elitist controllers who no longer hide in shadows because they believe they have won. They are of their father, the Devil.
As we draw closer to the close of time, we can expect to see more outrageous weather and things will happen at the hands of both the atmosphere's "prince," and the atmosphere's Creator. It's war; a war far more broad and significant in scope than anything Russia and Ukraine are involved in.
Isa 51:6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
The planet is wearing out like an old garment. That seems impossible, right? The atmosphere. Can it really vanish away? Well, is the human race wearing out, wearing thin, losing its original color, it's first strength and woven texture? Is the human race getting better or worse? Tell me, honestly, what nation is the worst out there? Many would say China or North Korea or some radical, violent African nation. I would submit the United States of America is the worst, because of its great professions of polity and piety in its history. It's government is the worst it has ever been, now diving America and baiting it for another civil war. It's institutions are corrupt and sow corruption all over the globe, and God says the world is growing old and worn and the inhabitants are going to grow old and worn and die just as the Earth is dying. America is involved in that process.
Regardless of whether or not the Earth is going through natural causes or Satanic causes or Divine judgments, it is going through dying pains. It is going to come to an end.
Sure, drought can reverse. Flooding will recede. Crops can grow again but, even though I do not believe in man-made climate change, I do believe what mankind is doing to the air, to the water and to the land is having a gradual effect.
Nobody denies natural disasters can take out catastrophic numbers of people: the Bubonic plague, the Indian Ocean tsunami, volcanoes, and other events. Now, today, we have evil, wicked people attempting to lower the surface population of the Earth through the most heinous event in human history - Covid 19. We are yet a distance away from the shockwave that shall hit the Earth when the numbers of dying shall mount to numbers never seen in human history from any natural disaster. Men have been moved by the father of lies to commit such a crime against humanity the only possible recompense is life in prison without parole, and many would say a sentence of death would be too kind.
The Prince of the power of the air has never been more active in the breakdown of the planet and its inhabitants. We were warned.
Get ready, get ready, get ready. I hear the footsteps of an approaching God.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

650. Little Demon - September 10, 2022
So, Disney has this animated TV program called "Little Demon." It's in the news... A LOT. I had seen a headline awhile back. Now I'm seeing headlines all over the place.
I have not seen the program nor parts of it. I'm just going by news articles like this one:
https://www.christianheadlines.com/contributors/milton-quintanilla/one-million-moms-urges-disney-to-cancel-satanic-cartoon-little-demon.html
A woman becomes impregnated by Satan. Thirteen years later she and her antichrist daughter are trying to live a "normal" life. Lots of occult, witchcraft and stuff going on. Apparently, nudity, too, which really seems weird for a Disney animation but... let's face facts. Disney has toyed with the dark side since I was a kid. The company has had decades to delve deeper and deeper into it all. It has been going downhill on its own slippery slope and today, given everything that company is, my question becomes, Why would anyone in the world expect Disney to do anything else than have a program like Little Demon to go along with all it's other forays into immorality and darkness?
The very ignorance of the show's premise reveals, well, incredible ignorance on the part of Disney, as well as professed Christians and others who expect Disney to remain a 1920's entertainment outlet. Disney really began its major slide into darkness with the choice of Michael Eisner to head the company in 1984. The Disney name has been in the news since that time, pumping out more and more imagery foreign to its enormous fan base tastes, and just keeps the tank rolling regardless of their disgust and dissent.
Disney is not a Christian company. It is no longer an American company. It has long been a multinational company that has no boundaries regarding faith or morals and like all of Hollywood will stretch whatever boundaries exist until none exist anymore. That is the agenda.
The ignorance of the Disney company to portray Lucifer as having the ability to father children is just ignorant. Angels are not male or female. They are angels, a separate form of creation, and all Hollywood has gone down that road of stupidity again and again, since I was a teenager. But, the worst, for me, is the demanding attitude of 'One Million Moms' and other groups to tell Disney to cancel the program. Why are One Million Moms having their children watch anything put out by the Disney company? Because they think Woody and Buzz are the backbone. Well, the latest Buzz Lightyear movie showed how foolish that position is, and yet, they stick with it.
Why do professed Christians and Conservatives constantly beat the drum of 'save the world's institutions?' Why? It will not be done because it cannot be done. The world is ending. That is the teaching of Jesus, the Apostles and the prophets, and nothing can change what is developing and has been for a couple centuries now. Christians can speak out, sure but, to the intent they can have stuff for their children to watch or, should it be a call to repentance and salvation because the end of all things is at hand?
Again, if one does not take the position of Historicism; that prophecy is in a constant state of fulfillment from the time of the prophet's words to the end; and get caught up in Futurism; that everything is going to happen at the end of time, you have these groups and parties of concerned citizens who believe everything is basically okay and will just burst with badness after the "Rapture." It is one of the greatest deceptions ever conceived and palmed off upon an ignorant Christian class that refuses to study for itself and just trusts whoever is in the pulpit every week. They are ignorant the deception of Futurism came from the mind of a Roman Catholic, Jesuit priest, Francisco Ribera, designed specifically to take the finger of Protestantism off the Papacy as being the prophetic antichrist of Daniel and Revelation. It failed in his day, in the 16th century but, how thrilled he would be today if he could see its success! Millions of professed believers caught up in lies and trying to save the Disney corporation from total moral wreckage, trying to save Hollywood so they can be entertained in comfort and park their children in front of a screen, in moral safety. And what do we see? Millions of youth leaving the faiths of their fathers and rejecting Christ and the Bible as God's Word to them, and all humanity. It is a path far too many parents have tragically gone down, and it's a tough row to hoe in this crazy world. I know it well.
What a planetary bowl of scrambled eggs.
God help us.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
I have not seen the program nor parts of it. I'm just going by news articles like this one:
https://www.christianheadlines.com/contributors/milton-quintanilla/one-million-moms-urges-disney-to-cancel-satanic-cartoon-little-demon.html
A woman becomes impregnated by Satan. Thirteen years later she and her antichrist daughter are trying to live a "normal" life. Lots of occult, witchcraft and stuff going on. Apparently, nudity, too, which really seems weird for a Disney animation but... let's face facts. Disney has toyed with the dark side since I was a kid. The company has had decades to delve deeper and deeper into it all. It has been going downhill on its own slippery slope and today, given everything that company is, my question becomes, Why would anyone in the world expect Disney to do anything else than have a program like Little Demon to go along with all it's other forays into immorality and darkness?
The very ignorance of the show's premise reveals, well, incredible ignorance on the part of Disney, as well as professed Christians and others who expect Disney to remain a 1920's entertainment outlet. Disney really began its major slide into darkness with the choice of Michael Eisner to head the company in 1984. The Disney name has been in the news since that time, pumping out more and more imagery foreign to its enormous fan base tastes, and just keeps the tank rolling regardless of their disgust and dissent.

What Does the Pope Know?
"Mother" is always in the know and ahead of the curve. With everything happening in this world, does the Pope know what is about to strike the financial systems on the globe?
https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/252093/pope-francis-instructs-vatican-entities-to-move-all-funds-to-vatican-bank-by-sept-30
"Pope Francis has ordered that the Holy See and connected entities move all financial assets to the Institute for Works of Religion (IOR), commonly known as the Vatican bank.
The pope’s rescript, issued Aug. 23, clarifies the interpretation of a paragraph in the new constitution of the Roman Curia, Praedicate Evangelium, promulgated in March.
According to Francis’ rescript, financial and liquid assets held in banks other than the IOR must be moved to the Vatican bank within 30 days of Sept. 1, 2022.
The IOR, based in Vatican City State, has 110 employees and 14,519 clients. As of 2021, it looked after 5.2 billion euros ($5.6 billion) of client assets."

Twindemic!
The term is everywhere! For two years the Flu took a vacation. Now, we're being told it's going to be a perfect storm of disease. Therefore... get more shots!
I did a search of the term and these are the headlines of the first ten hits:
Is Australia's COVID, Flu 'Twindemic' A Warning for the U.S.? - WebMD
Twindemic warning: COVID-19 and flu season will collide this winter
What experts are saying about the flu-COVID-19 “twindemic”
Fearing a 'Twindemic,' Health Experts Push Urgently for Flu Shots
Top Three Q&As on This Year's “Twindemic” from Loma Linda ...

How Seniors Can Navigate the Twindemic this Fall and Winter
Is a 'twindemic' of flu and COVID-19 about to hit the U.S.?
If you are reading the news sites where actual reporting of news and facts takes place, you are seeing the stories from around the world of deaths, especially the alarming testimony of morticians explaining the monumental blood clotting they're finding in people. And the cabal somehow believes no one is aware of it all and they are going to fear monger till they drop dead themselves.
I'll be honest. For the last six going on seven weeks I had something that caused me a great deal of discomfort, and hassle with the coughing, which is still not 100% gone. A Covid variant? I don't know. I have had the Flu enough times in younger years and this was not the Flu. Whatever it is, was, I conclude these devils will put anything and everything out there to complete their religious devotion to depopulation and saving Mother Earth.
Rand Paul says Americans should be appalled Fauci is trying to pull away from his responsibility in all this. "Appalled" is far too weak a word. "Outraged" is far more appropriate.

Concepts for Solo Drum Set 3 - JUSSIDDOWN'N'PLAYYERDRUMS,
Now on My YouTube Channel
Well, #3 is up and running, finally. I had a dog of a time trying to create a video from all the photos my daughter, Hannah, took, when she visited back in July. For a change, I copied them all and turned them all into black and white photos.
The video editing software was just not happy, malfunctioned repeatedly, and trying to combine all the photos with the music just caused me three days of complete frustration (and I'm certainly not counting out my own ignorance of the process). Once again, John Mayes to the rescue. He offered to help and after we went over various ideas, he put together a really cool video for me; it looks and sounds great. It actually began by accident when he loaded all the photos, around seven dozen of them. He sent me something to check out and it became the foundation for the final video. He's da man!
You can read more about the recording on the Concepts 3 page. Here's the link for the YT video:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-fAC__-8oQ
In trying to use the link icon, well, it just doesn't seem to work for me. I'm probably doing something wrong. Dinosaur and all. If you click on it, a link shows up but, now you know why I ask readers to either copy and paste links or hi-lite and right click. I do it so much it's second nature to me. For those who want to see their cursor appear when they hover over the link... sorry.
I really like this recording. It shows my best and my worst. A 'warts and all' recording. Each morning I just sat down, hit the recorder and played a solo. No warming up at the kit first, no particular ideas or concepts to work out; just sit down and go. Despite usual frustrations and headaches, I was actually more at ease on this recording than the first two. I had a lot of fun.
I hope you enjoy it.
Next, #4, Lord willing, Solos for Concept Drum Sets.
Till then...

651. Am I a Radical? - September 14, 2022
From the Meriam-Webster online dictionary, "radical" as an adjective, can mean something related to the root or origin of something. Interesting.
The third definition in common use in the English speaking world is this:
3a: very different from the usual or traditional : EXTREME
b: favoring extreme changes in existing views, habits, conditions, or institutions
c: associated with political views, practices, and policies of extreme change
d: advocating extreme measures to retain or restore a political state of affairs: the radical right
4. slang : EXCELLENT, COOL
Yes. By definition, I am a radical. My worldview, my beliefs and convictions go back to the roots, the origin of faith in Deity and Christianity as found in the Bible. To those who have no connection to faith and the Creator, just believing in a Creator makes me a radical in their eyes. Creation is an extreme, radical bunch of nonsense. On the other hand, everything from nothing, without Divinity involved, is an extreme, radical bunch of nonsense to me.
I am a radical. Definition 4 can mean I'm cool as one. Not in the eyes of someone on the radical Left. How many times have you ever seen the use of the term "radical Left" in mainstream media? Never, would be the answer I'd give. To them there is only the radical Right. There is no radical Left because Left is normal and the way things should be, and will be if they get their way in society. That's how they see it. Cutting penises and breasts off children is not extreme or radical to them. Saying you have a nation with no borders is not radical or extreme to them. Taking more and more money from those who work hard and giving to people who do nothing, is not radical to them. People who want sex with children or animals is not radical or extreme to them. It could be said when it all boils down there are people on the Left who see nothing as radical or extreme except views from the Right.
No matter where I looked, 'radical' is always associated with 'extreme.' People need to understand the definition of extreme. Look it up. I'm definitely an extremist, by definition, in the eyes of those with a different worldview and set of beliefs and convictions and source for those positions. The Bible is extremely radical to those, even among professed believers in the Judeo/Christian God. The "Good Book" is no longer good to so many in this world, it's become the bad book, showcasing a bad God, and perverting the minds of people. For many, atheism is the correct path, the correct worldview. How could I not be an extreme radical to them?
Well, if I just shut up and said nothing to no one they would tolerate me. If I went to "church" and just fellowshipped with others of like belief, who shut up and said nothing to anyone beyond their fellows, they'd not be happy but, most would tolerate our existence but, even others would find reason to make trouble for us. So, it's a war; a war that is greater than all wars ever fought on this world. It's a war that involves every single thinking and reasoning person on the planet. Yes, that's pretty radical, in and of itself. Pretty extreme. No one is absolved from this war? No. No one. Once the age of reason is attained, thoughts and decisions and actions are written down in the data that God keeps. Very radical and extreme. Every thought, word and action will stand against those who have no Advocate to plead their case in the day of judgment. "Day of judgment?!?" "How radically stupid," some will say.
It is radical and extreme for those even in the faith to read what I just wrote. Why not write more about God's love?
I was out with my wife yesterday, running errands. In our conversation the idea of love came up. She observes that those on the radical, extreme Left believe anyone can love anyone else or anything else, and should be free to do so, in any way they choose, and that belief is the foundation for all corruption. They consider themselves the supreme example of what love is. I concur.
The Bible states, God is love. God decides everything about love, in all its forms between the sexes, between parents and children, between friends, between an individual and a group or body of people, like a church or nation. God decides. Radical. Extreme. Only one thing can render such a view as true.
"No old man up in the sky is going to tell me what love is or who and what I can love." Hm. Radical. Extreme. Logical, too, if one leaves out the missing ingredient.
There is absolutely no way this can play out in any form or pattern of life where this war does not cause collision. It is not possible unless everyone shuts up. Well, that is absolutely against the very directive of Jesus Christ, the Creator, the Son of God who said, tell the good news of salvation and His prophetic return in glory far and wide, to everyone on Earth. That directive flies in the face of those who want what they want, regardless of traditions or norms or any kind of worldview, from any authoritative source. The fact is, those who are bound to a Thus saith the Lord, trying to live within the boundaries of God's stated kingdom, are becoming the few. Do not miss this. Just because tens of thousands show up at a Trump rally does not mean they are members of Christ's kingdom. They have harmony with those of like political views but, that is lightyears from citizenship in the kingdom of God. "You MUST be born again," is what Christ said, to even be able to see the kingdom, let alone enter it. If that ingredient is missing, just about everything about God and His kingdom will seem extreme and radical.
A conflation is taking place, one to be considered dangerous, prophetically speaking. Just because one is a Conservative does not necessarily mean they are a citizen of Heaven yet, the joining of the religious side with the political side, has watered down the religious side and the attitude is not a Thus saith the Lord but, a Thus saith the Right, the Conservative Right, which is right for a Constitutional Republic to function but, not the kingdom of God. Jesus said His kingdom is not of this world for a reason. The conflation of the religious and political forces taking place will lead to a dominance backed up by, not a Thus saith the Lord but, events of a startling nature, considered the "fire of God" falling upon the Earth: His divine presence, and signs, wonders and "miracles" joined in to prop it all up. Those who go by a thus saith the Right, rather than a Thus saith the Lord, will get caught up in this wave of righteous indignation and desire to "right" the ship before it sinks at the rocks of extreme Leftism.
The war between Left and Right is not diminishing but, shall come to a head. The problem is, that is not the battle in the war of God's deepest concern. Donald Trump nor any other political figure is a messiah. There is only one Messiah and regardless of how extreme or radical that may seem, that is what the Messiah said. He is the way, the truth and the life. We go to the Father only through Him, as the Light that shines on every person who comes into the world. Who will walk in that light and fight the battles of the Lord? That is the final equation. The Bible says, a "remnant:" that which remains. Remains? Yes. After all is said and done, only a remnant of people in this world will be living citizens of the kingdom of God. The rest? For all kinds of reasons, citizens of the kingdom of darkness, and do not be fooled. Darkness does not mean the occult or Satanism or humanism. It just means those who are not walking in the light and fellowship of Jesus and the Father according to a Thus saith the Lord, in His sourcebook - the Bible.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Donald Trump is being asked in interviews what he thinks of the FBI raiding his home and all the documents and things taken, and if he should be indicted.
Thus far his answers have been typical. He cannot see himself being indicted, based on any actual evidence and if he is, he believes Americans will rise up in some fashion and not stand for it.
I believe Trump is in for a rude awakening if he is indicted. Plenty of TV and media pundits will cry out. Plenty of Americans will take to their social media pages and speak out. Otherwise, has anyone actually asked him what he might expect citizens to do if they rise up? Start a revolution? Start a real insurrection? Take to the streets coast to coast... well, not coast to coast. More like small town, inland farmland to small town, inland farmland country. The coasts are Left and they'd be cheering.
What would happen, other than upsetting a fairly and generally tame apple cart? Over the years D.C. has seen extremely large protest gatherings by both Right and Left factions. We know those on the Left will get violent and be destructive. They prove that time and time again. Those on the Right are generally peaceful. Jan 6, 2021 was peaceful, until specific FBI plants and corrupt Capitol police took over and instigated things as much as they could. Even at that, protesters tried to stop the plants from breaking things, as those paid participants instigated the violence. Aside from a few more boisterous or physical protesters, the evidence shows protesters just walking around the Capitol building filming things with their cell phones. Ashli Babbitt tried to get through an interior window next to a blocked doorway and was shot dead. On the scene, wholly visible, was a hard Left instigator well known for his posts on Facebook, who a short time before stood on a platform and told people it was time to march into the White House and take Trump out by force. I wrote about him when it took place. The FBI didn't care about that. No, they used the guy to incite as much violence as possible on January 6.
Donald Trump is a lightning rod but, after seeing what the FBI and politicians did to over 500 American citizens after Jan. 6, well, is it any wonder why Antifa wears masks? Do they carry cell phones? Many of the people who partook in the J6 event were rounded up because of cell phone activity, as I understand it. These are not criminals with case files. There could not be facial recognition taking place on FBI software. Some were rounded up because they have a photographic presence on social media. Video of the day got matched to caches of information the Deep State has been collecting for years. If you have a photograph of yourself online, you can be sure it's parked on some Deep State hard drive somewhere. We know they sift emails. Nothing has been done to curtail that destruction of privacy. Our government spies on its citizens. Do you honestly think ANY kind of physical movement to protest a Trump indictment would not be met with quick and severe retribution? The good guys do not control the government anymore. If that changes in November, and I have serious doubts that will happen, even then, the sheer number of RINOs in Congress would stall any kind of blowback for indicting Trump.
The one thing we can know for sure. Donald Trump may run for the presidency in 2024. If he does and if he wins, payback will be sure. Then what? How close is America to an actual civil war? If you come here and read often you know my position on civil war. Patriots lose because the Left controls the military and the military is now Left; at least controlled by Leftists and even if the military splits, the hardware remains in the hands of the Left, unless conflict allows patriots on the Right to gain control of various military installations. If the Right gains control of the government, it being generally God-minded and peaceful, only acting in defense postures, not offense - by principle and the rule of law - no one on the Right would back Trump if he tried to round up Leftists, save for the most severe criminal participants. If Trump did that, anyway, he has Deep State to deal with. Assassination is almost assured.
I place here, once again, the only remedy for this situation is God. If the Lord of all Heaven and Earth does not step in, America is lost. There is no scenario in place or that could be in place, that can drain the swamp and begin again with patriots in offices of elected civil service. Election integrity is not even close to being assured.
God help us. It is now folly for a POTUS to finish a speech saying "God bless America." God does not bless rampant corruption. God does not bless any nation of death, such as America has become. We kill all over the world, and by that I mean countless civilian lives in constant wars. We kill babies and the recent decision by SCOTUS has not changed that in Leftist run states and plenty of states run by elected civil servants on the Right, as well. God literally cannot bless America anymore; hence, its demise and fall into a pot of corruption about to boil over.
I find it almost impossible, under current conditions, that Americans, weighed down by inflation and an ever busy-bodying government, will rise up and foment any kind of physical confrontation if Trump is indicted. Verbal protest will mean nothing. D.C. hears nothing from middle America. They could care less. Never has a POTUS undergone such hatred, animosity, vilification, and hardball interference as Trump has gone through. He's tough. Americans are generally tough. Americans also lack principle at this point, regardless of voices in media attempting to educate people. Tucker Carlson, considered a leading voice on the Right, consistently calls America a Democracy. He mentions the Constitution but, in any videos I have seen from his programs, I cannot recall him stating America is a Constitutional Republic, and he is on top of the list of the voices in America pushing back.
Sorry, Mr. Trump. If you get indicted, you'll be paying out a chunk of your fortune for a legal team to get you through it. Even your daughter, and certainly your son-in-law have stabbed you in the back. You have few, if any true friends in D.C.
I will not be shocked if Trump is indicted. I will be shocked if Americans rise up to defend him in ways that can actually mean something, and physical confrontation and violence is generally not a way patriots go about things.
Patriots threw a bunch of tea overboard once. What has happened since then? Boycotting Disney? Seriously?
Reality check.

652. "IN" - September 17, 2022
"In." Tiny word. Two letters that take on incredible variation of meaning. There are 18 different ways that little word can be used as a preposition, adverb, adjective or even a noun: "She's got an in with the judge," is the example one online dictionary poses to readers.
I'd like to look at one of them, which implies or marks a condition of things.
Belief in God.
He's in love.
I'm in pain.
She's in denial.
Recently, a well-known, longtime singing star announced she no longer believes in God. I don't recall ever reading anything about her that she ever did believe in God. What does that even mean?
Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Rom 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead [divine nature]; so that they are without excuse:
Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
The Apostle Paul is specifically relating to those of the antediluvian world as the letter moves along but, the principle is there for all humanity. Nobody has an excuse when it comes to belief in God, because creation points out a Creator. The invisible attributes of God are clearly seen in the visible things all around us. As man is enabled, with tools of science, to look further into the world of nanoparticles and further out into space, it all testifies to an order and design that shouts "Creator!" Making that out to be "aliens," as Hollywood and sci-fi writers have done, is futile because no evidence of such a path or source exists. Who then, is the Creator? A 4,000 year old collection of "books" that make up the Bible, states it plainly. Down through time it may be so that many among mankind have never heard of the particular Deity spoken of in Scripture but, they recognize the world around them did not come into being by itself. Current science betrays itself with such 'everything from nothing' sophistries. They have no excuse. The vastness of what is, and all the intricacies within it, all testify to Yehovah's omnipotence and omniscience.
Brittany Spears, and all others who do not believe in God have their reasons. They can have no excuses in the day they stand before God to answer for their decisions to reject the truth and hold it in unrighteousness. It is as James wrote:
You believe that there is one God; you do well: the devils also believe, and tremble. James 2:19
Just believing God exists is not the answer. The devils believe that, and they were in the very presence of God before they were cast out of Heaven. They believe, and they tremble because they know a day of judgment is coming that they shall not and cannot escape.
Believing "in" God implies and means in a connection to God. A personal experience with God. Knowing the character of God. Trusting the life into God's care. Fewer and fewer people in this modern age want to do that. They are without excuse.
And the issue is not just believing "in" God. Do we love God?
A man says, "I'm in love." What does that mean? He tells the person drawing his affections, "I am in love with you." Big risk. Why? Because his willingness to give of himself to her may not be reciprocated. She may not be "in" love with him. She may like him, respect him, and honor him but, the special spark that creates being "in" love, creating mutual connection, may not exist for her. Then, he is not "in" love. He loves her but, their is no special connection between the two. "In" implies connection.
I have used this illustration before: the plug and the socket. A plug is designed to go into a socket and connection is made, current flows, action takes place: power to produce light or run appliances and machinery. The plug can, as so often happens, be away from connection by a fraction of an inch. It hangs there, attached but, no power because the connection is not made until the plug is all the way into the socket.
The connection to God that brings power to the life is a full connection and frankly, most of us professing believers do not have it. We know God exists. We have seen manifestation of that in undeniable ways, well beyond that which encompasses nature but, life gets the better of us and we find ourselves like the plug, hanging there, drawing no power. That experience is encapsulated in the book of Revelation, third chapter - the Laodicean experience - thinking we are okay when we are most certainly not, in God's eyes. Christ stands at the door of our hearts and minds and pleads with us to fully connect to Him. His grace remains the source of power we need to carry on each day, every day, for a lifetime or until He comes.
Are we in love with God? Is their any proof of that in our lives?
When someone says, "I am in pain," we can relate. We have all felt pain at some level, especially rejection. Yet, we all recognize something like death brings on a pain that produces no blood, shows no marks on the body but, is undeniable in what it causes inside us when a loved one is lost to the kingdom of the grave, which all go to some day, many well before their time, which adds to that mysterious pain.
A doctor may ask, "On a scale of 1 to 10, what is your pain?" If it's a 10, he cannot feel it, she cannot feel it. They can only administer care in an attempt to relieve the sufferer.
I addressed pain and suffering back some posts and it is all because of sin. Sin brought pain into human and all life existence. It shall remain that way until a generation of believers connect and stay connected and pull off the greatest evangelistic feat in world history; the proclamation of the Three Angel's Messages of Rev. 14 to every corner of the globe at one time, for all to be exposed to and make decisions over. Pain at that time will become so alarming around the world, because of Satanic activity, in ways that shall show humanity it is the end and yet, most of humanity will deny what they are seeing and feeling, and believe lies and delusions. They will be "in" denial.
When we deny something, we are rejecting evidence or, lack thereof. Well, we have already seen that there are no excuses for rejecting God because evidence exists in abundance the Creator exists who made it all. Being 'in' denial generally refers to someone who is rejecting plain evidence for something. They are in denial they are addicted to drugs or alcohol. Go the other direction. They are in denial about someone they love or, a million other possibilities.
I denied the existence of God when I was young. I was an atheist all through my teen years into my 20's, until the time I came upon Bible prophecy at age 24. Then, everything changed. I was no longer in denial. I believed in God because prophecy pointed out things no man or group of men could do - tell the future accurately, in detail, and do so centuries, millennia in advance. I could have denied it all. God is not forcing anyone to believe. It's our choice, contrary to the heresies of 'Calvinism,' that God chooses people to be saved or lost: an absolute biblical lie and attack on the character of God, and His government and purposes. But, that's another study, one I've addressed previously.
Everything comes down to the character, government and purposes of Yehovah, the great I AM.
When Moses saw a bush that burned but, did not disintegrate to ashes, and investigated, he found God, and as he communed with Him and asked what His name was, God said to tell the people "I Am" is directing their departure from Egypt. "I AM." What does that mean? God is. Yehovah is everything mankind needs at any time, in any way humanity recognizes their need of connection to their Creator and recreator; their Saviour, their Redeemer, their "in." God just is. That is so cool it defies authors and preachers trying to explain it. I AM.
Jesus Christ referred to Himself as "I AM." "Before Abraham was, I AM." John 8:58. He is our Creator. He spoke and all came into being. He chose to become a man and live for us, die for us, resurrect for us and come again for us: for all those "in" Him: to be our all in all.
Rom 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
Rom 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: [in fallen human nature]
Rom 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Rom 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Rom 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
1Cor 15:17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
1Cor 15:18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
1Cor 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
1Cor 15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
1Cor 15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
1Cor 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
2Cor 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
2Cor 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
2Cor 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Such a tiny word. So much power in it.
Are we "in" God and God "in" us; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit?
There are no greater questions "in" life.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
I'd like to look at one of them, which implies or marks a condition of things.
Belief in God.
He's in love.
I'm in pain.

"Government agencies tend to refer to such objects as UAP, short for "unidentified aerial phenomena."
"We observe a significant number of objects whose nature is not clear," the team wrote. "We see them everywhere."
I mentioned the Ukraine a ways back and some spaceship supposedly found there. The jury of my mind is still out on that one but, here we have a science report from Ukraine claiming things are flying around, clocked at speeds up to 33,000 mph.
Why Ukraine? Whether government made, private corporation made, or Satanic in nature, Ukraine is the hotspot on Earth right now, with weekly reports or commentary around the world on WW3 and nukes and TEOTWAWKI (the end of the world as we know it). UFO reports within Ukraine certainly tie into the building platform voices are speaking from about potential threats and national security issues surrounding "UAPs." So, if nukes are about to drop, the aspect of "ET" not letting this one go by, like 1945 Japan, is on the table for discussion. The other side of the coin being pitched and certainly will be pitched, is "ET" choosing sides and that means a high-tech adversary of unknown potential threat wreaking havoc on Earth. Stop the war! Join hands! Fight the ET invasion! New world order! We'll save you! Just cooperate! Peace and safety!
No, of course I don't know how this may play out. It's just that, not a week goes by that UFOs are not in the news somewhere. Expect more. Pay attention because I'm betting the farm on this: Satan is and will use the UFO phenomena in last day deceptions.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Cymbal Prices Through the Roof
I know many people who read here are not drumists or percussionists. It may be the thoughts on religion they come to check out, or more specifically things involved in prophecy and last day events but, the site was created by a drummer, for me, as one, and for those into drum set artistry, and this short blog is about a shocker I received this morning.
It's no surprise to anyone the musical instruments I love the most are not drums but, cymbals. More than half the cymbals I own were purchased used. I clean them up and I'm good to go. I own a fair amount of cracked cymbals I repaired or cut down and made new ones out of. Ebay has been the place most of these purchases have been made.
I don't need any more cymbals to fulfill a specific range of sound or tone I'm looking for. There are a couple spots I'd like to fill but, I can easily live with the instruments I have to record with.
I went to Ebay this morning, actually looking for cooking herbs, which I have purchased in bulk many times before. The prices of those have shot into space, as well, and while there, I thought I'd type in a specific cymbal I've been wanting and my jaw dropped. The prices for junk, and I mean junk cymbals is almost what I have paid for good used cymbals. Good used cymbals... well, suffice to say, I will not be purchasing anymore cymbals the rest of my life. I saw some used cymbals going for close to $1,000.
Inflation of goods and services is hurting us all, and in general, musicians have always been a class that has struggled to own good, professional equipment. Cymbal manufacturers began to make models in lesser alloys to try and get instruments to players that had adequate, even good sound to those, most of us, with tough budgets to deal with. In some cases those models actually saved companies from going under. Plus, the competition exploded, especially from Asia. Competition generally lowers prices for consumers but, in this case, I guess the cost of bronze and other metals used, as well as general business overhead, has sufficiently risen to cause even lower end models to become quite expensive, in some cases outrageously so.
I had a good run. When I go to sell all my instruments someday I will sell them for a true value. Some will knock me for that but, that's me. They'll sell fast, and I'll probably not suffer financial loss. I'll break even over whatever things cost me years ago. I can't complain about that.
For those just getting started or wanting to increase their instrument collection, my heart goes out to you and your wallet. I haven't bought a cymbal in... well, a number of years, I guess, and the way things are, what I got, is what I got, and the gettin' has hit the wall. So be it.

654. UFO "Issues" - September 19, 2022
Someone brought up an issue to me about the sightings of UFOs generally considered to be some sort of crafts in the sky. The issues were two growing ones over the years: CGI and drones. I'll even add today's complex balloons.
Originally, the military claimed sightings were weather balloons, and very sophisticated ones exist today, and for sure, some sightings are those items. Add in large, consumer grade balloons, party balloons, as well as Chinese lanterns and such, and without doubt, sightings can be attributed to those things. Satellites make up a portion of sightings or the I.S.S. Bird flocks, military flares, etc., all figure in to percentages of sightings.
Computer generated images have now been joined to an artificial intelligence that makes them almost undetectable. It really is mind boggling. The thing is, when it comes to UFO sightings and video, there are things that give away the truth in the eyes of serious UFOlogists. Those who have computer or film knowledge and experience can generally pick out problems with hoax videos. The speed at which sightings get shared and spread around puts these fakes before the eyes of researchers swiftly and the hoaxes get unmasked right quick. That is not to say some exist that remain questionable, either way. It just means a perfect hoax does not exist. Maybe it will soon enough, the way the sophistication of CGI increases exponentially but, today, it's not there yet.
Drones have obvious implications. They are pretty ubiquitous in the lower skies now, which presents a problem, in and of itself. Because their heights of flight are limited, their sizes are more easily determined. Nobody is flying drones tens of feet across or more. They certainly are not flying in space, and people forget the sheer number of sightings that take place regularly now on I.S.S. feeds or satellite feeds. Many are spotted and recorded by full-time watchers before NASA can cut cameras on the space station. It is useless for NASA to constantly call these sightings "ice crystals" or other nonsense. The truth of that fact can only go so far to explain the variety of sightings beyond Earth's atmosphere.
The thing is, in the last 80 years hundreds of thousands of sightings have been reported around the world and many nations have finally opened their files to their citizens. Some say the tally is over a million sightings. Huge numbers of those have been group/crowd sightings and experiences leaving people dumbfounded. Forget swamp gas and satellites and military flares. That boat don't float for far too many of these events.
America, for whatever reasons, refuses to open its files. The FBI has released many. Others have leaked out there but, there has been no official release by the U.S. government. They now admit things are flying around out there, that move at incredible speeds and maneuvers not known to man-made craft. What's the stall on releasing everything? Nobody knows and many have their theories.
It is very important to remember only 5-10% of sightings are truly unexplainable. Explanations for the rest are found to be natural or man-made. Sure: CGI, drones, balloons, planes, helicopters, birds, and other things can make up the majority of sightings. Sunlight, reflections, shadows, angles and more make up reasons why people are seeing stuff that are normal things in the sky or in the case of USOs, beneath the surface of the waters. In space, and I mean seen from space, the possibilities shrink radically.
Testimony from former military personnel, astronauts and such, is pretty well known, now. Beyond that though, are documents discovered through FOIA release or otherwise, of transmissions between space and ground that contain startling admissions. Other documents are between various internal or external alphabet agencies or the military. Some are heavily redacted, others just seemed to have slipped through and contain serious information that fills gaps on UFO phenomenon history.
There is a reason why the American government will not release all its files and evidence on this subject. My guess is for nefarious purposes. There is no longer honor and truth that means anything to the government and its satellites in deep state. Everything is now done with some kind of malinformation, misinformation or disinformation control factor in mind.
Remember, too, my position is supernatural occurrences of Satanic origin, and this goes back centuries, seen depicted in works of art, cave drawings, temple carvings, and other archeological finds, etc. This is a planned out attack on human minds for delusionary purposes. No doubt in my mind, based on the evidence.
The religious aspect of all this is shunned by most in UFOlogy. Many are atheists. For them, the universe is deity. Energy flow is deity. Matter, itself, is god. Or, there is just nothing beyond nature. They are already under a delusion. They would say I am under the delusion.
Time will certainly tell, won't it?
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

655. Rev. 13 - The Control of Buying and Selling - Sept. 20, 2022
Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Rev 13:17 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.
The second beast of Rev. 13 is the United States of America. No other nation in history matches the declaration of the rise of this power in the chapter. It shall make an "image" to the Papacy, the Vatican; the first beast of the chapter, in that it will enforce by law the dogma of the Beast. In particular, the only commandment the Papacy can touch that regards buying and selling, the Sabbath, which they have replaced, by their own admission over the centuries, with Sunday; matching marks given in Daniel and Revelation to identify the antichrist power: "thinking to change times and laws." The Papacy thinks it can change God's laws. It will find out in most dramatic form it cannot. It's really pretty plain if you allow the Bible to interpret itself and match it with history.
How can the buying and selling of the world's populace be controlled? How about this, for starters:
"FACT SHEET: White House Releases First-Ever Comprehensive Framework for Responsible Development of Digital AssetsSEPTEMBER 16, 2022•STATEMENTS AND RELEASESFollowing the President’s Executive Order, New Reports Outline Recommendations to Protect Consumers, Investors, Businesses, Financial Stability, National Security, and the Environment"
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/09/16/fact-sheet-white-house-releases-first-ever-comprehensive-framework-for-responsible-development-of-digital-assets/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email
I rejected the idea of digital currencies when I first heard of them. It was claimed, once you own it, it cannot be touched by anyone else but, the owner. While that premise may have been true, it seemed logical to conclude the value of such currency is meaningless. The current crashes show that. It's worth less than paper money, printed at will by governments, supposedly backed up by gold or silver. Crypto is backed up by nothing but someone's word. Frankly, in this current world, such words are as hollow as a 500 year old tree or Joe Biden's memory, take your pick.
The American government cannot run the financial system it has now without running it into the ground. Going digital will save that? Not on your life. I mean, try to pick a worse scenario for citizen's lives.
I absolutely despise Executive Orders. They are nefarious on the face of it, let alone in their constant far reaching into American's lives and sovereignty. Here's one of Biden's (whoever is controlling Biden), latest:
"President Biden’s March 9 Executive Order (EO) on Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets outlined the first whole-of-government approach to addressing the risks and harnessing the potential benefits of digital assets and their underlying technology. Over the past six months, agencies across the government have worked together to develop frameworks and policy recommendations that advance the six key priorities identified in the EO: consumer and investor protection; promoting financial stability; countering illicit finance; U.S. leadership in the global financial system and economic competitiveness; financial inclusion; and responsible innovation."
Protection? The government cannot protect its own borders. How can it protect the financial stability of its citizens when millions of illegal immigrants are pouring in and becoming part of the current system, by Leftist design, no less? Having the fox protect the henhouse is outrageously stupid.
"When they shall say Peace and Safety, sudden destruction comes..." Nothing the current, corrupt government does contributes to safety in any way shape or form. Control is the only thing it concerns itself with, and digital financial systems, which can be tethered around the world and controlled by a keyboard, is ripe with things going wrong for humanity. If nothing else, the ability of top tier hackers to pose threats beyond imagination. But, even without such threats, the government, itself, is the biggest threat to Americans, especially those who are not Leftist socialists, fascists or communists. Biden has made that perfectly clear, in deep red tones behind him, fists raised, sounding like any rabid dictator in history.
Frankly, why does the financial system need "innovation" of any kind, responsible or otherwise? ONLY because it must be controlled more tightly, enabling control of citizens. That's it.
Former Congressman from Texas, Ron Paul has spoken on this issue for many decades, especially the absolute need to return to a complete gold standard. No innovation necessary. His warnings have been pushed aside, for obvious reasons, and we now stand on the precipice of every warning he gave coming true.
The FACT SHEET is so saturated with potential problems it is hard to read and not get angry, knowing the potential of corrupt government. Bad enough digital currencies have their own problems built in. Run by the Federal government? God have mercy. What a recipe for complete and total disaster. Of course, that is the point.
Predicting a financial collapse, which will make digital currency seem the way out, is child's play now. It's a given, and world-wide, this answer will prove indispensable to save the world.
The futurists waiting to be raptured out, thinking some Jewish or Arabic personage becomes the antichrist, are so going to be shocked into blindness when they realize that event is false doctrine, not happening, and reality will strike them like a baseball bat upside the head.
I would submit there really is no way to prepare for this. Own gold and silver? It will be taken away as illegal tender. Stockpile food? For a semi-emergency, sure. For what is finally coming to separate the world's populace into sheep and goats, forget it. Owners of such stockpiles will lose it all.
The truth and a Christ-like character are the only sure things God's people will have to protect them in the last day's of Earth's history. Their bread and water shall be sure, as promised, Isaiah 33:16, and their hopes, when the night is darkest, will be finally revealed.
Honestly, no one in their right minds wants what's coming to take place but, there are far greater issues at stake than our inconveniences and destitutions. The world is in a battle beyond all human wars. God's character will be vindicated by a final generation of believers that shall take their stand against all the powers of evil unleashed.
Remember the words of Jesus:
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

The Replacement of Christianity
The Pew Research Center has more grim news for American Christians. The religion is bleeding out believers in alarming numbers.
https://spectator.org/america-disappearing-christians-pew-study/
https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2022/09/13/modeling-the-future-of-religion-in-america/
Immigration is changing the Western hemisphere. That is by design. The New World Order, the Great Reset, whatever one wants to call it, though not moving as fast as its proponents desire, shows no sings of being derailed. Why? How can that be? Ignorance. A population of tired, worn out, confused, scared, angry, hopeless planetary citizens unable to fight the waves of wealth and power used to push agendas, when there are no John the Baptists, no Luthers, No Spurgeons, no Reformers rising up and exposing things in such a way that it can ignite the passions of the common man to look beyond Earth to Heaven for answers and help. Far more probable help will come from "ET" in the minds of people, than Jesus. Far too many Americans are looking to Trump to save America. Eternal choices are being made.
With all that is happening that seems to be exposing prophecy, true prophetic events - not Roman Catholic Futuristic or Preterist ones - as false harbingers, those who study the Word and see the truth plainly, know regardless of detours, God will bring about circumstances and events that shall cause all elements of hinderance to fail and reverse. His Word will always stand sure. What has always hindered things will continue to do so: a professed church not truly with the program. That has always been the problem. It opens the way for delusions, falsehoods, heresy, fakery and such to cause untold problems. Satan remains busy and ever ruthless, regardless of the attitudes and unfortunate complacency of God's professed people in this dying world.
Science and Technology has become god for millions. Paganism and witchcraft grow exponentially, in a world turning exactly the opposite through the rise of Artificial Intelligence. It's an astounding face-off.
Why did Jesus ask, When the Son of man returns, shall He find faith on the Earth? It was a rhetorical question. Hanging on with God only makes sense to those who know the Lord, and know that they know the truth.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

With all that is happening that seems to be exposing prophecy, true prophetic events - not Roman Catholic Futuristic or Preterist ones - as false harbingers, those who study the Word and see the truth plainly, know regardless of detours, God will bring about circumstances and events that shall cause all elements of hinderance to fail and reverse. His Word will always stand sure. What has always hindered things will continue to do so: a professed church not truly with the program. That has always been the problem. It opens the way for delusions, falsehoods, heresy, fakery and such to cause untold problems. Satan remains busy and ever ruthless, regardless of the attitudes and unfortunate complacency of God's professed people in this dying world.
Science and Technology has become god for millions. Paganism and witchcraft grow exponentially, in a world turning exactly the opposite through the rise of Artificial Intelligence. It's an astounding face-off.
Why did Jesus ask, When the Son of man returns, shall He find faith on the Earth? It was a rhetorical question. Hanging on with God only makes sense to those who know the Lord, and know that they know the truth.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

656. Is Archbishop Vigano Running for the Papal Throne? - 9/24/2022
How is it I am writing about Archbishop Vigano more than any other Catholic in Mother Rome's history? Well, because he is out front, in some kind of controlled vanguard, like a politician running for office, speaking the most well-chosen words on the current bad-guy attempt at world dominion. He is striking while the iron is hottest, on a situation millions from all faiths or no faiths see what's developing to this point. He is not first in exposing the corruption. He regurgitates information already out there.
In my lifetime, I suppose when I was doing public evangelism I mentioned JP2 a lot but, never in my lifetime has a man, seemingly of all the people, any and all people who love freedom and liberty, and the rule of law and justice, taken the bully pulpit and spoken against the elitist takeover, the NWO and now this "great reset," like Vigano has been.
Just watch the opening of the video. It's purely political. Some music, a picture of the interior of St, Peter's. Some previous positions or titles of Vigano, and voila! The man running for office begins another speech aimed at wholly Conservative minds. What office is Vigano running for? What office is he being primed for? There is only one that matters for him - "the Chair of Peter," the "seat" of power in the biggest religious office on Earth: the Pope, head of the Catholic Church and Vatican City State, with more official titles than any religious office holder on Earth.

Why do I make an issue of the statue? Well, whoever produced the video made the issue of it. Vigano working with Michael, the archangel, vanquishing Satan. The irony, once again, is that Historicism and Revelation 13 places the Vatican's Papacy in the Dragon's [Satan's] seat of power that all the world wondered after [admired]. Right now millions of Roman Catholics do not admire Pope Francis. They see him for what he is, as far as the traditional Catholic faith, and precisely what Vigano consistently points him out as: an apostate. I keep asking, how does Vigano get away with this? Calling the "Holy Father," with promised infallibility, "God on Earth," an apostate, with no retribution? Oh, sure, plenty of Catholic writers have taken Vigano to task. They wish they had the pulpit Vigano has gained.
The Vigano video is one of those featured at this website:
https://stopworldcontrol.com/
The site has information on every aspect of the corruption and plans of the elitist psychopaths attempting to control the world. Many of the people I have linked interviews or videos to are featured on the site. It's a "who's who" of people who have stood up against the medical and political tyranny. Vigano is the only religious figure featured.
Here's the video on Rumble:
https://rumble.com/v1kmeq9--archbishop-carlo-maria-vigano-we-must-unite-to-stop-the-new-world-ordergre.html
Vigano is either being primed for Papal duties or he's just a mouthpiece for the conservative side of Catholicism, to keep them in the fold.
In the 13 minute video speech, Vigano calls for a global alliance:
"In the face of this global coup d'etat it is necessary to form an international anti-globalist alliance, which gathers together all those who want to oppose the dictatorship; who have no intention of becoming slaves to a faceless power, who are not willing to cancel their own identity, their own individuality, their own religious faith. If the attack is global, the defense must also be global.
"I call upon rulers, politicians and religious leaders, intellectuals, and all people of good will; inviting them to unite in an alliance that launches an anti-globalist manifesto, refuting point by point, the errors and deviations of this dystopia of the New World Order, and proposing concrete alternatives for a political program inspired by the common good, the moral principles of Christianity, traditional values, the protection of life, and the natural family; the protection of business and work, the promotion of education and research, and respect for creation."
He goes on to invite those interested to an international forum with national representatives, to discuss and implement the necessary steps to protect goodwill and "traditional Christianity."
Major departure. Roman Catholicism is not traditional Christianity according to the New Testament. The Protestant Reformation would never have risen were that the case. History would have been decisively different. Romanism is an apostasy from traditional Christianity taught by Christ and his apostles. That fact is what makes everything Vigano states, suspicious. There is nothing in the annals of Romanism that back what Vigano is doing. Vigano knows it well - "Outside the Church there is no salvation." He is a traditionalist when it comes to the Catholic faith. There is no room for Protestants, especially, nor those of any other faith. Catholicism is the only true faith, to Vigano. But, according to him, the Vatican is under apostate control. What can he do? He can call out to form an alliance against the elitists, of which he claims Francis is part of. And he continues to remain an archbishop in the Roman Catholic Church? How can that be? Because he is a pawn, a device, a tool being used to promote a solution to world problems which, mark it, shall involve a Pope at the head of the table. Him? Time will tell.
"Leaving aside the old system of political parties and the logic imposed by a system enslaved to power and money."
Wait a minute. Stop the music! Stop the music! I happen to love the old system of the United States Constitution. No reason to put it aside. No necessity to drop the logic of the Founders in establishing it. It is not an imposed system enslaved to power and money. Apostates to the system are the ones enslaved to power and money.
If we all leave the old system of political parties, what does that leave? He is calling for something to arise, "disrupting the old system and putting aside something devised by the enemies of humanity." What? I thought he is fighting the NEW world order. The old systems are what THEY are trying to put aside for a dominant few to control the world.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Red flags. Red flags.
He closes the speech and the screen shows these words:
"In this time of global crisis it is critical that we are not divided by our different beliefs.
We must join, as one, against this universal threat, that could destroy our world forever.
This is not a fight about religion, politics or opinions.
THIS IS WAR ON ALL OF HUMANITY"
Everything that Vigano states is true, as far as the NWO goes. Putting aside the old systems IS NOT the answer. To the contrary. Maintaining the old systems as they were originally put in place in most nations of the West, is the fundamental necessity. It is apostasy from those systems enslaving the world. I do not need deliverance from the American Constitution. I need elected civil servants to abide by it!!! I need these mini-dictator wannabes to remain chained by "limited government."
Vigano is paving a road. In due time more will be revealed of exactly how he believes this international resistance shall be platformed.
I would advise to stay vigilant: to remain focused on the freedoms and liberties the old system, developed by America's Founders, put in place.
America's Founders were certainly not perfect. They were flawed men. What they came up with for national government was revolutionary and changed the world. The Papacy made note of it as a repulsive action that denied the rights of kings of whom they meant to control under papal domination, already bleeding out in the loss of those nations that went Protestant.
The Protestant Reformation was a literal death blow to the Papacy and yet, the Catholic institution rose to national state status. It is not just a church. It is a state power with its own bank, army, and classes of citizens. Vigano has been part of its elites. The Catholic Church has not changed. Protestantism has changed. Vigano is being hailed by them.
Watch him closely. He is not to be ignored or trifled with.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
***I must wonder. To Francis, who believes there is no such thing as a "Just war," confusing even more Roman Catholics who have believed Catholic doctrine that certain wars can be just; is the above war on humanity and its resistance, a just war?
In my lifetime, I suppose when I was doing public evangelism I mentioned JP2 a lot but, never in my lifetime has a man, seemingly of all the people, any and all people who love freedom and liberty, and the rule of law and justice, taken the bully pulpit and spoken against the elitist takeover, the NWO and now this "great reset," like Vigano has been.

657. A Governor of Great Distinction - Sept. 24, 2022
Hochul, of New York; Whitmer, of Michigan, Brown, of Oregon, all Democrat, seriously Leftist politicians, have shown distinction in their terrible reigns over their citizens. They showcase the lunacy of Leftist policies. Gavin Newsome, of California, takes the cake for such great Leftist distinction, and is another quoting the Bible to back up his disgusting policies. Not content with just existing in his state, planning on a presidential run, he is broadening his horizons and putting up billboards in states that have stopped the abortion mills from their heinous work: the killing of babies in the womb.
Newsome's billboards are plain and straight:
Need an Abortion? California is Ready to Help
https://twitter.com/GavinNewsom/status/1570457823997497350
Now, butting into another state's legislative actions could be seen as in poor taste but, to make matters worse, the uber Leftist adds a Bible verse:
"There is no greater commandment than these" - Mark 12:31
Let's take a look at the passage:
Mark 12:31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
Wait a minute. The second? What is the first?
Mark 12:28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
Mark 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
Mark 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
Ahhh, poor Gov. Newsome. Caught again, like other hard Leftists quoting the Bible to palm off their anti-biblical philosophies.
If I am to love God supremely, which is what the first four commandments of the Decalogue address, that means, as Jesus also taught, "Man shall not live by bread alone but, by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." THOU SHALT NOT KILL. That's commandment #6. God wrote that in stone with His own hand. That begins the second half of the Decalogue: man's duty to his fellow man. Love your neighbor as yourself, is the principle.
If I were in a woman's womb, I'd want to live. That's pretty logical, even if a baby is not yet aware of life beyond the womb, it is growing as a separate entity within one. It is most definitely NOT the woman's body. It's a body in her body. Love your baby as you love yourself. A baby is as close a neighbor as a human being can have. If you love yourself, following the Lord's command would mean to love your baby.
If Gavin Newsome is that ignorant of biblical principle, to use such a verse to back up his political philosophy about life and death, he has no business being president of the United States. Of course, as divided as we are, and confused as America has become, a handsome, smooth-talker like Newsome could, once again, like others before him, wind up as Commander in Chief of a nuclear arsenal.
If you refuse to obey God, to love your neighbor as God designs, and you don't believe babies have rights to life, and will lie to your neighbor, pervert the Bible, and even attempt to influence your neighbor's fellows because you don't accept their legislative actions, expect such a man to be a radically divisive and dangerous POTUS.
America will reap what it sows. If it sows Gavin Newsome, it will reap a whirlwind of destruction, as it currently is. His own state is a train wreck. How could he accomplish anything else or better for America?
For such a man to think he can and should be president is a dark tunnel of illogic behavior that all Leftists seem to exist in. You can hate Trump because he used to be a womanizer or because he loves America first and always had that philosophy before entering politics but, he did more to right America's ship than just about all presidents before him. With no message to gain citizen confidence, Democrats had to criminally steal an election to oust him, and hate him so much they must destroy him. THAT is the LEFT. Destruction of life; not loving their neighbor. Of course, if they hate themselves, I guess their behavior follows their outlook on life.
God help us.

A Blasphemous, Heretical Book
The name of the Book?
President Donald J. Trump, The Son of Man - The Christby Helgard Müller
https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/president-donald-j-trump-the-son-of-man-the-christ-helgard-m-ller/1140947967
About the book, from the author, on the B&N site:
"During the presidency of President Donald Trump, it became evident to me that the prophecies about the Son of Man, as predicted by Jesus in the Bible were, to a significant extent, fulfilled at the hands of Mr Trump. The Bible speaks about two different Christs-or Messiahs. Jesus, the Son of God is the one Christ, whereas the Son of Man is the other. Jesus always referred to the Son of Man in the third person. The greatest distinction or significance between the Son of Man and the Son of God (the Lamb) is their respective positions at the throne of God. There are numerous differences between the Son of God and the Son of Man, but overall, people read these scriptures and they do not realize that the Son of God (the Lamb) stands in front of the throne of God, whereas the Son of Man, is positioned on the right hand of God. Jesus spoke about two different killings in the four gospels of the New Testament. People read these scriptures and are unaware that Jesus (the Son of God) predicted his own killing in the first person, as opposed to the several prophecies that He made in respects to the Son of Man who will be crucified. The New Testament speaks about "two Kings;" Jesus, the Son of God, is the "King of the Jews," whereas the Son of Man is the "King of Kings" who will be a world-ruler, and He will rule all the nations (the tribes) of the earth with a rod of iron. This book will explain in depth how "Donald John Trump's" full name literally means: "The Ruler of the World, graced by Yahweh (the LORD) and a descendant of a Drummer." Upon reading this book, the reader will be captivated when they realize how President Donald John Trump fulfilled most of the prophecies as the Son of Man. It speaks about End Time Prophecies and Biblical revelations regarding "President Donald J. Trump, the Son of Man. The Christ."
I don't suppose I have ever seen such a foolish and nonsensical commentary before. Leftists will only be too glad to trumpet this book to show how ridiculous Trump supporters are, and unfortunately, while it remains to be seen, Trump will have supporters falling for this rubbish and trumpeting it's necessity to read.
Obama was considered a "messiah" by many of his supporters. Now Trump. Did Jesus warn about false Christs? Yes. Even thinking of these two men as messiahs is repugnant but, there is the level of discernment of the current population raised on Hollywood's influence and living on junk food.
"There's a sucker born every minute." Who said that? No one really knows. The annals of history have a number of possible proponents of lackluster observation of human nature but, the saying seems to prove true, generation after generation.
If this book sells well, consider it a commentary on America's current condition, and let it sink in America's best days are not ahead. Judging by all the 1 star reviews, it would appear we may have some hope.

Obama was considered a "messiah" by many of his supporters. Now Trump. Did Jesus warn about false Christs? Yes. Even thinking of these two men as messiahs is repugnant but, there is the level of discernment of the current population raised on Hollywood's influence and living on junk food.
"There's a sucker born every minute." Who said that? No one really knows. The annals of history have a number of possible proponents of lackluster observation of human nature but, the saying seems to prove true, generation after generation.
If this book sells well, consider it a commentary on America's current condition, and let it sink in America's best days are not ahead. Judging by all the 1 star reviews, it would appear we may have some hope.

Polar Bears Are Heterosexual
Peppa the Pig. Never heard of it. A British children's program, apparently, that's been on for 20 years. It recently had an episode that went homosexual. A couple of polar bear, lesbian parents. I believe polar bears would be appalled.
https://nypost.com/2022/09/08/peppa-pig-debuts-lesbian-polar-bear-couple/
Going after the children to change a society is as old as the hills.
“Peppa Pig is not just for entertainment, children are inevitably learning from it too.”
Indeed.
Such as it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be when Christ returns, Luke 17:26-30. Things were going along normally, in their corrupted ways, when fire and brimstone dropped from heaven and devoured the cities of the plain.
People can complain about the Bible all they want. How did the writers of such an ancient book know what things would be like 2,000 years in the future?
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

658. Wait. What? UFOs and Life After Death? - September 24, 2022
You know I have written about the non-immortality of a "soul" here on this blog numerous times. A full inspection of the Bible shows not only is there no such thing as an immortal soul that gets out of the body at death - which is Greek philosophy - the Bible specifically states when a person dies everything about them ceases: everything, including all thoughts. They go back into the earth they came from initially, through Adam, and turn back to dust. God knows each and every soul: meaning, person/people, and even the animal kingdom. Animals live and breathe and are called or have souls - life. If a creature experiences emotion, they are, biblically, a soul. If they experience an intellectual nature, that is the spirit. And, we are physical creatures with a physical nature of a few trillion cells. Spirit, soul and body. The triple nature of humans. God desires our nature shall become spiritual, through being born-again; new life in re-creation, through Christ, through the Holy Spirit.
What does all this have to do with UFOs? A lot more than I realized. To many today the "soul" equates with the "consciousness." Some believe there is a universal consciousness: a web of thought that permeates the universe; that hooks all sentient life together and when one dies they enter this new state of consciousness, this new dimension of space and time to exist in.
In 2021, Robert Bigelow, billionaire real estate developer and founder of the Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies, sponsored a contest. The contest invited any and all thinkers to submit essays on the scientific nature of the consciousness. So many essays of considered stature were received, more prizes were given. In total, apparently 1.8 million dollars in prize money for essays on scientific proof of the consciousness after death. The panel of judges believe that proof was exemplified.
If you like you can read the winning essays here:
https://www.bigelowinstitute.org/contest_winners3.php
In 2023 Mr. Bigelow is sponsoring a new contest, one asking for proof of contact with the consciousness after death.
The winner of the previous contest is a gentleman by the name of Jeffery Mishlove. He believes in the existence of ET. He believes ET travels through space in ways we do not yet understand, including communicating through consciousness. I have mentioned the UFOlogist, former physician Dr. Steven Greer and his whole gig about ET and universal consciousness. Many in UFOlogy believe in such an existence. Nothing sentient dies. It moves on into another dimension.
*I'm going to edit this to insert something from Mishlove's essay. He begins it with an anecdotal experience about the death of a great uncle which convinced him life after death is true. The paragraph below seems easy to show the level of scholarship employed in this winning essay:
"Postmortem Survival’s Universal Acceptance
"A belief in postmortem survival of consciousness is common to every culture, nationality, religion,
and linguistic group in every region and historical period on Earth.6 Every single one! Americans’
belief in life after death, for example, has been stable for 75 years at over 70%.7" Jeffery Mishlove, Beyond the Brain: The Survival of Human Consciousness After Permanent Bodily Death, pg. 9.
Every single religion? Nay. My religion is biblical Christianity. I believe the Bible. Tens of millions of Christians do not believe in instant life after death. Seventh-day Adventists, 20 million of them, and many other Sabbath keeping groups believe the testimony of Scripture on this point. Other groups believe the same. Some of Europe's prominent Protestant Reformers taught the truth and wrote on the subject. Luther taught that the doctrine of the immortal soul was part of the trash heap of Romanism. I was surprised when I first saw his statement, given today's Lutheran church beliefs on the point. In fact, the precursor to my faith, the faith of Old Testament Hebrews, takes no doctrinal position on life after death. It's a veritable cafeteria of ideas that exist for Jews. Yet the Old Testament, especially the book of Job, as I have shown, is filled with references to a day when resurrection from death shall take place and a New Earth, in Isaiah, shall someday come, where no death shall exist.
So, after a personal experience, which is not scientific, and his first statement beyond his own experience, supposedly well researched, Mr. Mishlove lost me. I stopped reading at page 9.
14 essays, supposedly very scientific, won a lot of money for the writers, and even honorable mention essays won money. If I looked at them all, I am certain I would find the same kind of anecdotal "proof" and poor scholarship. It is absolutely no different than "proof" of UFOs being craft, piloted by extra-terrestrials. There is no solid evidence for such. A mountain of anecdotal evidence exists, my own experiences included. Reams and shelves of photos, films and video exist. One, single, planetary, even semi-permanent visit and exposure of an "ET?" Only in Hollywood movies and TV. That is why the phrase, "I Want to Believe" exists from one end of UFOlogy to the other. There is no absolute proof.
What was the first lie Lucifer told on Earth?
Gen 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil ["arum" -crafty, cunning] than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Gen 3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
Gen 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
Gen 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
Gen 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Very simple lie, yes? If you disobey God you will not die, you will advance to be like gods, knowing everything.
God said, If you disobey you shall die. Specifically in the Hebrew: "dying you shall die." And that is what happened. Adam lived for almost a millennium and then, he died. We don't know the life span of Eve.
So, here we have the oldest controversy on planet Earth, which is generally considered one of the most asked questions of philosophers and religious spokespeople, and today, scientists. Is there life after death? What proof? What, if yes, then lives on? The "soul," the "consciousness;" tapped into the universal consciousness: "God," if you will.
Fanciful, to say the least. Jeffery Mishlove speaks on the subject and chastises humanity in general for being so dense as to not "get it," as they say. He preaches we need to open our minds and realize all that exists that is beyond our small lumps of gray matter, and we must reach a higher state to join the rest of the galaxy and the universe and the planes of existence he believes exist. The cover art of his essay is a winding staircase of "souls" clad in white tunics on their way to, whatever highest plane of existence he believes in.
What does the Bible simply state:
Ecc 9:4 For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
Ecc 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
Ecc 9:6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.
Ecc 9:10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
Well, if that does not settle it there are dozens and dozens of other passages that add weight to the evidence. I have shared many of them in posts addressing the subject but, not from the aspect of UFOs and "ET." That's a new slant and one that convinces me more than ever this world shall stop the clocks all at once when "ET" (Satan) makes his arrival at some point in the near future. All minds on Earth captivated and thinking the same thing at the same time: we are not alone in the universe. I am ever more convinced by the weight of evidence it is going to happen as part of the last day delusions the enemy has planned for the race.
I already know we are not alone in the universe because of the testimony of the Bible, and have addressed that numerous times, as well. Prophecy convinces me this subject will be an enormous mover of souls to make decisions for yay or nay as we approach the end of time.
Who will we believe? God or the Devil? Will we believe the printed truth of Scripture or will we believe the lies told to humanity by the coming of "extra terrestrial" beings? Contact WILL BE MADE, with "ET" and with "souls" from another dimension in space. Lost loved ones, with the same voice, with knowledge of our lives only they could know. An overmastering delusion. The first lie shall also be part of the last lies told. It has been the most consistent lie down through the ages.
See, if I am wrong, I just join the gig with the rest of humanity. No skin off my nose. If I am right, along with millions of others down through time who knew the truth of this subject, those who disbelieve the truth shall be caught up into a movement of death, crashing into the rocks of lies and self on the personal throne, not the One, true God.
Here is the kicker. Without any serious proof from Scripture, just a few misapplied texts, denying dozens and dozens of others, professed Christianity in general holds to a tradition of life instantly after death: Heaven or "Hell." It makes the Blessed Hope of Christ's return and the resurrection of the righteous from down through the ages, rather meaningless, if "souls" have been enjoying Heaven all this time. I remind you, Lazarus had zip to say about the four days he supposedly spent in Heaven. Same for the widow's son, and Jairus' daughter. No "light" they saw. No peace, no rising out of their bodies. Nothing. Which is exactly what the Bible says. Death is death; cessation of existence. The Bible calls it sleep. Satan says, you shall not surely die. If you disobey God you shall rise to greater heights of understanding. You can join the rest of the universe and sing hymns to celestial immortal existence as... whatever it is humans turn into.
And people tell me I believe in fairy tales.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

659. ZUBY - September 25, 2022
Zuby is a rapper, social and political commentator, as well as a physical trainer and a real bullseye when it comes to hitting the mark of common sense. I never heard of him and just read a portion of an interview he did found here:
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/silent-majority-must-speak-when-vocal-minority-imposes-views-society-zuby
I'm not into Rap. Never have been but, this man understands the basic principles of Americanism so, he needs as much exposure as he can be given. He wants all people to take stands and stop being pushed around by small, radical minorities that make up such a small portion of the citizenry it's societal suicide to allow them to dictate nonsense for everyone. He really seems to check all the boxes for a way to continue to live at liberty from tyranny.
It has been my position all my life. You are free to do your own thing, just do not attempt to force me to accept it and change my beliefs or language or anything else to accommodate, what I am convicted is an abnormality, a danger to society, or just plain stupid behavior. If you see me walking down the street, cross the road to the other side if you wish. You're free to do so, just do not get in my face and scream and throw a tantrum because I disagree with you and you cannot stand anyone disagreeing with your ideas or ways you choose to live. That's unacceptable behavior in a civil society. When such behavior is allowed and becomes acceptable there is no longer civil society. There is, then, tyranny, and it comes in enough different forms to make life miserable for the majority who allow it. That is not a Democracy. Understand the difference. The majority can have no legal rights to force minorities to do things that cause no harm to others. It is just societal balance. I do not want a Democracy: the rule of the majority. That always turns into mob rule. That's how people are persecuted and hung or shot or pushed out of society.
Aberrations shall always exist. They always have. They always will. Some societies offer no toleration for what the majority see as wrong behavior. They will force their collective will on anyone who attempts to break away from what the majority see as correct. That is what is collectively coming in the future, as far as prophecy predicts. But, that is not what the Founders envisioned, especially when it came to religious freedom of conscience.
If you think you're from planet Zorcon and want everyone to treat you like some ET ambassador, forget it. You be whoever you want, just don't try and force me to accept it. That goes for anyone and anything that opposes my worldview. I really don't care if you believe Zuckerberg is god and Facebook is heaven. Do not attempt to force me into your worldview. That goes for your sex life, your gender, as well as your politics, as well as your whatever.
Let me bring this down to a subject making headlines. If you are a he and you want to be a she, that is your choice and your business. There are people in medical areas that will accommodate you. If you want me to call you some new, ridiculous pronoun you made up, it really is no skin off my nose to use that verbiage. Here's the problem, and it's a HUGE one. People have created at least 72 genders. Look it up. Dozens of new pronouns. Those who want everyone to memorize all this new stuff are not just foolish, themselves. They are so self-absorbed they are willing to cause chaos and ruin people's lives for the sake of their "right" to think to change the English language to accommodate their worldview. Not in America. The fact is, the American principle is that I can call you an idiot and that is freedom of speech. You can call me whatever you want. That is freedom of speech. I can live with that. The radical minority cannot. They have no real concept of freedom and liberty. They are not Americans. They are radical sowers of chaotic seeds of societal anarchy and they should have zero influence in our principled way of life.
If you do not concede to those principles, you should go live in another country willing to crumble under your foolishness and your destructive ideas. America, the real and true America, is not the place for you. Spout what you like. Forcing me to accept it must bring resistance.
The problem now is, does the real and true America still exist and is there a will to resist the nonsense being thrust upon us? Zuby hopes there is.
If I am wrong in my position, according to principle, please, explain how.

BIO!!!
Bio, as in biotechnology, bioeconomy, biomanufacturing, biosafety, biosecurity and other bio-words, are found in another Biden Executive Order:
"Executive Order on Advancing Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Innovation for a Sustainable, Safe, and Secure American BioeconomySEPTEMBER 12, 2022•PRESIDENTIAL ACTIONS"
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2022/09/12/executive-order-on-advancing-biotechnology-and-biomanufacturing-innovation-for-a-sustainable-safe-and-secure-american-bioeconomy/
This word salad EO does contain definitions, though -
(b) The term “biotechnology” means technology that applies to or is enabled by life sciences innovation or product development.
(c) The term “biomanufacturing” means the use of biological systems to develop products, tools, and processes at commercial scale.
(d) The term “bioeconomy” means economic activity derived from the life sciences, particularly in the areas of biotechnology and biomanufacturing, and includes industries, products, services, and the workforce.
(e) The term “biological data” means the information, including associated descriptors, derived from the structure, function, or process of a biological system(s) that is measured, collected, or aggregated for analysis.
(f) The term “biomass” means any material of biological origin that is available on a renewable or recurring basis. Examples of biomass include plants, trees, algae, and waste material such as crop residue, wood waste, animal waste and byproducts, food waste, and yard waste.
(g) The term “biobased product” has the meaning given that term in 7 U.S.C. 8101(4).
(h) The term “bioenergy” means energy derived in whole or in significant part from biomass.
(i) The term “multiomic information” refers to combined information derived from data, analysis, and interpretation of multiple omics measurement technologies to identify or analyze the roles, relationships, and functions of biomolecules (including nucleic acids, proteins, and metabolites) that make up a cell or cellular system. Omics are disciplines in biology that include genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics.
(j) The term “key R&D areas” includes fundamental R&D of emerging biotechnologies, including engineering biology; predictive engineering of complex biological systems, including the designing, building, testing, and modeling of entire living cells, cell components, or cellular systems; quantitative and theory-driven multi-disciplinary research to maximize convergence with other enabling technologies; and regulatory science, including the development of new information, criteria, tools, models, and approaches to inform and assist regulatory decision-making. These R&D priorities should be coupled with advances in predictive modeling, data analytics, artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, high-performance and other advanced computing systems, metrology and data-driven standards, and other non-life science enabling technologies."
Wait, do you see those underlined portions above? I guess that goes with this earlier paragraph:
"For biotechnology and biomanufacturing to help us achieve our societal goals, the United States needs to invest in foundational scientific capabilities. We need to develop genetic engineering technologies and techniques to be able to write circuitry for cells and predictably program biology in the same way in which we write software and program computers; unlock the power of biological data, including through computing tools and artificial intelligence; and advance the science of scale‑up production while reducing the obstacles for commercialization so that innovative technologies and products can reach markets faster." Para. 4
After all the info on public rights and safety of citizenry, etc., etc., found in the EO, the bold proclamation states we have a societal goal - rewrite genetic code for cells and turn whatever we want into obedient little AI controlled bots. It reads no different or sounds no different than anything pumped by Klaus Schwab and his associates at the World Economic Forum and their agenda to control humanity through implementation and implanting of AI into humanity.
We want you to become the Jetsons, only better! We want you to become the Six million Dollar Man and Woman and Child: our best family manufacturing yet! Yessir, Build Back Better!
DO NOT miss the inference of this diabolical EO. They are now bold and open with their "societal goals." It's New World Order time, Baby, and nobody can stop us because we are gods.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

This word salad EO does contain definitions, though -
(b) The term “biotechnology” means technology that applies to or is enabled by life sciences innovation or product development.
(c) The term “biomanufacturing” means the use of biological systems to develop products, tools, and processes at commercial scale.
(d) The term “bioeconomy” means economic activity derived from the life sciences, particularly in the areas of biotechnology and biomanufacturing, and includes industries, products, services, and the workforce.
(e) The term “biological data” means the information, including associated descriptors, derived from the structure, function, or process of a biological system(s) that is measured, collected, or aggregated for analysis.
(f) The term “biomass” means any material of biological origin that is available on a renewable or recurring basis. Examples of biomass include plants, trees, algae, and waste material such as crop residue, wood waste, animal waste and byproducts, food waste, and yard waste.
(g) The term “biobased product” has the meaning given that term in 7 U.S.C. 8101(4).
(h) The term “bioenergy” means energy derived in whole or in significant part from biomass.
(i) The term “multiomic information” refers to combined information derived from data, analysis, and interpretation of multiple omics measurement technologies to identify or analyze the roles, relationships, and functions of biomolecules (including nucleic acids, proteins, and metabolites) that make up a cell or cellular system. Omics are disciplines in biology that include genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics.
(j) The term “key R&D areas” includes fundamental R&D of emerging biotechnologies, including engineering biology; predictive engineering of complex biological systems, including the designing, building, testing, and modeling of entire living cells, cell components, or cellular systems; quantitative and theory-driven multi-disciplinary research to maximize convergence with other enabling technologies; and regulatory science, including the development of new information, criteria, tools, models, and approaches to inform and assist regulatory decision-making. These R&D priorities should be coupled with advances in predictive modeling, data analytics, artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, high-performance and other advanced computing systems, metrology and data-driven standards, and other non-life science enabling technologies."

660. Do I Have to, to be Saved? - October 1, 2022
Do I have to believe in... to be saved?
Generally, the weekend for me, the Sabbath, is the day I'll write things coinciding with theology and prophecy, creation and such. I know some who come here to check things out are people who get into that stuff, and others come specifically for the things about drums and drumming, and a select few, for both.
There's a question that arises; always arises, when subjects are brought up that don't generally have a lot of discussion surrounding them for people. Something comes across their path and they ask, "Do I have to believe that to be saved?"
I used to get that question a lot when I was doing public evangelism and seminars. Things I have addressed here, like the Sabbath/Sunday issue or, creation/evolution or, prophecy characters and matters, and other things that are new to people and it can rattle comfortable conditions for them. If they have already given their lives to Christ's direction and purpose, must they add these new matters into their lives? The big issue there can be Calvinism (eternal security - once saved, always saved) or, the other theological side of that coin - once saved, always saved, as long as you stay saved - free will and choice.
It becomes pretty easy to see how all these matters are intertwined, each one touching the other in definitive ways. And that revelation of practical, daily Christian living is ongoing. Nobody knows it all when they are born- again. Being born-again, that idea, that directive of Christ, can be as new and startling as anything could be, after being a member of a church all there lives and never hearing that subject raised. If it has been raised, there can be two very different platforms that an answer rests upon. One, a person is born-again when they are baptized, and that can mean as an infant or, two, a person is born-again when they truthfully and sincerely ask Christ to take control of their life and they are given new life in Christ - "old things are passed away, all things become new," 2 Cor. 5:17. In some capacity they are convicted of their sins and cry out to God for forgiveness, in true repentance. They receive 'the peace that passes all understanding,' Phil. 4:7, and a sense of transformation beginning. It can be something rather gradual in realization or, it can be a very dramatic, life-changing event. Either way, change takes place and truth becomes the arbiter of life's decisions. That is not a situation a baby can realize. And there you have the centuries old, millennia old struggle: the commands and truth of God or the traditions of men.
Christ said, quoted Deut. 8:3, that believers are to live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God, Matt 4:4. He said, "It is written." That's a lot of words written; through prophets and prophecy, through chosen representatives, through Christ, God's Son in His ministry, and ultimately words proclaimed by God over 4,000 years of human history and beyond, as the gift of prophecy might be utilized. Man is to live by it all. More necessary than his daily bread, man is to live by the truth of God's commandments, Job 23:13.
Becoming a citizen of the kingdom carries with it obvious conditions, like being a citizen of any nation. Laws of greater and lesser establishment stand guard over the stability of any nation. In America we have local, state and federal laws. One can add to that family rules that children are to abide by. Even pets are to abide by those rules. Just because a cat has the natural tendency to sharpen their claws by pulling on things resistant, does not mean they get to scratch at every piece of furniture or rug that catches their fancy. Pet owners expect pets to obey. Anyone who thinks God does not expect His people to obey Him, rational beings and citizens of His kingdom, are beyond sorely mistaken.
In the kingdom of God we have the moral law; the ten commandments - the "royal law," the "law of liberty," James 2:8,12, the standard by which all will be judged by; a transcript of God own Character, Exodus 34:4-8. In the case of judgment, ignorance of the law is weighed by God's "books" that show the life of thoughts, words and actions of each professed believer, Daniel 7:10; Rev 3:5; 20:12. Ask yourself the obvious question: If someone loves God, and wants to know Him and His will for their lives, will they not "study to show themselves approved of God, rightly dividing the word of truth?" 2 Tim. 2:15. The answer is a logical, Yes, if they have access to the physical Word in a translation they understand or some kind of exposure to the Word through someone's teaching and instruction.
Because Christianity is a personal and collective journey of individuals and the entire body of Christ, His church, His 'called-out' ones, there is a constant process of gaining information to direct the life. Can anyone be expected to know everything as a babe in Christ? No. Can everyone be expected to learn and grow in the truth? Yes. Then the reasonable answer to the opening question is, Yes, the believer is expected to follow truth as truth is placed before them and the records show they have some kind of reasonable exposure to it to process it, and make decisions about it. God is not forcing anyone into Heaven, nor does He play some kind of religious game with the citizenship of each believer. God says what He means and means what He says. The factors of love, trust and faith combining into professed belief of information each person receives is in God's hands and knowledge. He rarely places conviction into the mind of someone completely unfamiliar with a principle. We must expose ourselves to God as we are exposed to His word. We cannot hide. There is no place to run. There is only humanity in all its fragility trying to figure out how to live in this crazy world. Bottom line? Our choice of our way or God's way, no matter what the cost.
Yes, that's a possible, probable, definite rock and a hard place at times. Satan wants you back. You'll have family, relatives, friends, co-students or co-workers and fellow citizens of a nation or even a church or God's kingdom who do not and literally cannot understand spiritual choices you make and will make. A connection to Christ takes precedence over all of that influence to attempt to drag you away from your commitment to Christ, 2 Cor. 11:3. That is the backbone of Jesus stating, 'If you love father or mother, son or daughter more than Me you are not worthy of Me,' Matt 10:37, 38.
If it is truth and we are exposed to it, God expects us to live by it, in this world and life of constant scrambled eggs. All truth is a blessing, whether we realize it or not. All truth can also seem a curse, depending on life's situations, from our dull, human vantage point of understanding. "If I do that, my life will be turned upside down!" That may be our understanding and our initial reaction. None of that has anything to do with the task at hand: following the truth. God understands and knows every situation we will ever exist in before we experience it. His plans know no hastening or delays. He has answers when we need them. He has ways when we need them. He has means when we need them. He has a character to develop within us, a Christlike character, and that is the most important thing to God. Everything will surround that heavenly task and that eternal procedure. It will take all eternity to completely understand everything God is and has done in this world and in our lives and in this universe. Eternal life will be a constant classroom and experience of discovery, all of it designed to make us one, in character, with our Creator and Redeemer.
If it is God's truth, sanctifying truth, John 17:17, God expects us to follow it. Do not expect to be delivered in the end if you refuse to obey God on any point coming with conviction of God's Spirit upon you. He weighs every circumstance, and judgment is His. Judgment is not ours, and we have enough things to deal with in our own lives than to concern ourselves with the final outcome of anyone else' life.
Jer 9:4 Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders.
Jer 9:5 And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.
Jer 9:6 Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.
There's your general environment to exist in, in this sinful world. The potential is there. Even in a church environment, deceptions can exist. They existed in the early church. Think you they cannot possibly exist today, in spiritual, prophetic Babylon? And it is not just outside of us. It is in us.
Jer 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
God can and does. He understands our fears, or displacement when we enter the kingdom and find ourselves outside the kingdom we lived in, however comfortably or uncomfortably. We made due. Making due is not the task at hand for the believer. Developing a Christlike character is a constant pursuit with eternal consequences for slackness and backsliding, and certainly with out and out refusal to obey.
It is not enough to believe we can just state with our mouths that Jesus Christ is Lord. "Wait," you say, "didn't Paul write that?" He did.
Rom 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Rom 10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Rom 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
That would seem to settle it, would it not? And yet, Paul also wrote:
Rom 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
Rom 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Rom 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
Rom 13:13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
Rom 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
The flesh; human nature. Do not feed our human nature and its lusts. Put on Christ, wear His character and fulfill the law of righteousness, denying the flesh, our old nature, and live in the new.
Easy? Yes and no. Each person is different, with different lives, circumstances and conditions. God knows them all and has provided a way all can attain to Christlikeness. The entire Bible has that plan. No one verse or passage is the do-all, end-all of faith and living out our faith. Therefore no one is safe by believing they have arrived at some safe place where the enemy of souls cannot reach us. Each new day is just that. Yesterday's decisions can be changed for yay or nay. Tomorrow remains elusive.
Mat 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
Mat 6:32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Mat 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
It is up to each of us, in harmony and connection to God, in partnership with Him, to build a character that shall be ready for eternal life when Messiah returns.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

*****************************
661. It's All Over the Place - October 1, 2022
What am I seeing all over the place?
1. Information showing the demise of Christianity in the West. Surveys, studies, even Putin, in his latest speech, rebuking the West for such a superiority complex when it has abandoned every principle of Christianity that made it in the first place.
2. Calls for repentance and revival. Many in professed Christianity see it all and are calling for change, and that means not just religious and spiritual change but, political change, as well.
3. The rise of secularism, elitist humanism, ultra-controlled technocracy, A.I., plans for transhumanism, the NWO, the Great Reset, the Covid attack on humanity with the "vaccine" atrocities, etc., are drawing in hundreds of millions of people waking up to what is happening and surrounding them. Much of it is being portrayed, falsely, as "the beast" of Revelation.
4. I am seeing more and more op/ed pieces on Pope Francis and what seems to be his obsession with changing the Catholic Church, through rogue apostasy. A "Synod of Synodality" has been called, beginning Oct. 9 and running for two years, to address issues in the church, and many speakers and reps will bring with them calls for everything traditionally and doctrinally Non-Catholic; like LGBT acceptance, women in the priesthood, homosexual marriage, etc.
5. With Protestantism, in principle, all but gone, and in name-only, sorely divided, and with Romanism dividing, calls for return and reformation to faith of their fathers ring out and seem to fall on deaf ears. What can overcome that?
6. I am seeing more and more conversations in UFOlogy about demonic forces behind sightings and abductions, something addressed only by evangelicals at one point. Now, even secularists are discussing it. UFOs and the supernatural are going hand in hand in many quarters.
7. Nations are shaking. Upheaval is growing. Threats are now out in the open towards anything and anyone that promotes national sovereignty, nation-first culture, individualism and responsibility and accountability to the rule of law. Stand up and speak out against the those who want an authoritarian world order, a central system of monetary matters and government control, and you become ostracized, marginalized, demonized, even criminalized.
The planet truly stands at a precipice. False prophetic events are developing, and true, accurate and fully biblical events are developing.
The false will have the great majority backing it; a mix, a perfect Babylon of joining together on points people can agree upon to save the world, while a remnant of God's people down through the ages, keeping His commandments and the faith and testimony of Jesus stand against it all, regardless of the false "fire," power, signs, wonders, and "miracles" attending the majority's positions. DO NOT forget that. The majority has never been on God's side and never will be. That does not mean any or every minority is on God's side. TRUTH must be the standard by which all is weighed and determined. Truth, biblical truth, cover to cover, the Word explaining itself, interpreting itself, will be the judge of all things natural or supernatural; all things doctrinal or dogmatic. Mutual consensus or approval is only as good as a complete Thus saith the Lord.
There has never been a time in Earth's history when people have not been tested. Ask citizens of Florida and South Carolina right now. The final testing time is approaching. We can only conceive its severity. We can know, for certainty Christ will keep His own in the time of trouble ahead.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
1. Information showing the demise of Christianity in the West. Surveys, studies, even Putin, in his latest speech, rebuking the West for such a superiority complex when it has abandoned every principle of Christianity that made it in the first place.
2. Calls for repentance and revival. Many in professed Christianity see it all and are calling for change, and that means not just religious and spiritual change but, political change, as well.
3. The rise of secularism, elitist humanism, ultra-controlled technocracy, A.I., plans for transhumanism, the NWO, the Great Reset, the Covid attack on humanity with the "vaccine" atrocities, etc., are drawing in hundreds of millions of people waking up to what is happening and surrounding them. Much of it is being portrayed, falsely, as "the beast" of Revelation.
4. I am seeing more and more op/ed pieces on Pope Francis and what seems to be his obsession with changing the Catholic Church, through rogue apostasy. A "Synod of Synodality" has been called, beginning Oct. 9 and running for two years, to address issues in the church, and many speakers and reps will bring with them calls for everything traditionally and doctrinally Non-Catholic; like LGBT acceptance, women in the priesthood, homosexual marriage, etc.
5. With Protestantism, in principle, all but gone, and in name-only, sorely divided, and with Romanism dividing, calls for return and reformation to faith of their fathers ring out and seem to fall on deaf ears. What can overcome that?
6. I am seeing more and more conversations in UFOlogy about demonic forces behind sightings and abductions, something addressed only by evangelicals at one point. Now, even secularists are discussing it. UFOs and the supernatural are going hand in hand in many quarters.
7. Nations are shaking. Upheaval is growing. Threats are now out in the open towards anything and anyone that promotes national sovereignty, nation-first culture, individualism and responsibility and accountability to the rule of law. Stand up and speak out against the those who want an authoritarian world order, a central system of monetary matters and government control, and you become ostracized, marginalized, demonized, even criminalized.
The planet truly stands at a precipice. False prophetic events are developing, and true, accurate and fully biblical events are developing.
The false will have the great majority backing it; a mix, a perfect Babylon of joining together on points people can agree upon to save the world, while a remnant of God's people down through the ages, keeping His commandments and the faith and testimony of Jesus stand against it all, regardless of the false "fire," power, signs, wonders, and "miracles" attending the majority's positions. DO NOT forget that. The majority has never been on God's side and never will be. That does not mean any or every minority is on God's side. TRUTH must be the standard by which all is weighed and determined. Truth, biblical truth, cover to cover, the Word explaining itself, interpreting itself, will be the judge of all things natural or supernatural; all things doctrinal or dogmatic. Mutual consensus or approval is only as good as a complete Thus saith the Lord.
There has never been a time in Earth's history when people have not been tested. Ask citizens of Florida and South Carolina right now. The final testing time is approaching. We can only conceive its severity. We can know, for certainty Christ will keep His own in the time of trouble ahead.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

662. Addressing the Rapture - October 1, 2022
I have mentioned before, numerous times, I believe the teaching of the Rapture, or secret rapture, as it is often termed, is a very wrong and deceptive doctrine, capable of leaving millions completely unprepared for Christ's return, just as awful and deceptive as the doctrine of eternal security. In showing how it does not match the teachings of the Bible on the lineage of last-day events or return of Christ, there is something I'd have no knowledge of, not believing in the doctrine or fellowshipping with those that do.
"For some Christians, ‘rapture anxiety’ can take a lifetime to heal"
https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/27/us/rapture-anxiety-evangelical-exvangelical-christianity-cec
You may be surprised to find I am going to address that article in a biblically defensive way. I'll quote it heavily.
First, such an article posted by CNN should instantly be expected to get things wrong or purposefully twisted when it comes to anything regarding the Christian faith. That certainly would and should include last-day events. Seeing CNN, as an institution, lies about things in every news cycle, fake news and all, it should be held in suspicion when addressing anything, let alone Christianity. The coined term "exvangelical," shows that right off the bat. Apparently, near as I can tell, the term was started or promoted by a podcaster back in 2017 or around that time. A movement coming to terms with the failures of evangelical Christianity in various ways, is what it's about. Frankly speaking, NOT A SINGLE MOVEMENT IN CHRISTIAN HISTORY HAS SUCCEEDED IN DOING WHAT JESUS DESIRES: the preparation and proclamation of the gospel and His soon return to a single generation. If one is convicted the truth is taught in any particular evangelical denomination or church, leaving it because of a failure of mission is hardly necessary or required to maintain the doctrinal faith of that denominated group. Doctrinal apostasy is another matter.
"Some Christians develop fears related to teachings of the rapture."
That's the first sentence you read, attached to an illustration of a female in anguish as ghostly images of people are rising around her, leaving her behind. The doctrine, itself, presents a false image of the world continuing on for seven years after the "rapture:" the time period known as the "tribulation." I will not go over the doctrine again, comparing it to the truth but, suffice to say, teaching anyone if people they love disappear and they are "left behind" should conjure up walking nightmares. On the other hand, the article, not surprisingly, calls into question or condemns the notion of the return of Jesus in any sense.
"From the moment they are old enough to understand, millions of people raised in certain Christian communities are taught that the rapture is something that can happen at any time. Though there are different schools of thought as to how such an event would go, the basic idea is the same: Righteous Christians ascend into heaven, while the rest are left behind to suffer. However it happens, it is something to be both feared and welcomed, to be prayed about and prepared for every moment of a believer’s life."
#1, the actual return of Christ cannot happen 'at any time.' Definitive events will precede it and let believers know the day is approaching but, no one knows the day or the hour. Nor the week or month or year. Plenty of believers down through time have come up with such dating proposals but, none have or will prove correct by any Scriptural equation.
2nd, the return of Jesus is a planetary catastrophe; cataclysmic in nature, leaving behind nothing alive or standing. Even mountains will crumble, and only Lucifer and his hosts will remain to ponder the outcome of their rebellion. I'd not want to be around to see how they'll get in each other's faces while they exist in wreckage and darkness for a thousand years.
3rd, if the basic idea of the return of Christ is the notion of the article, now we run into the brick wall of Christ's very teachings to believe - "Behold I come quickly," Rev 22:7. No one with logic and reasoning ability would believe 2,000 years passing is quick but, that has nothing to do with living in expectation of events and being spiritually prepared. That was the bedrock of all Christ's teachings about His return: be ready, for at such an hour as you think not, He will return, and that principle can be lived out in any century, any millennium, any time in history since His departure. It could be easily argued, lack of such attitude has delayed the Lord's return. There is a great difference between caused delay and Jesus warning about people having an attitude like the wicked servant saying in his heart, "My Lord delays His coming," and therefore acts like the devil, while professing faith, Matt. 24:48-51. The very nature of the faith requires an expectant attitude, lest the cares of this world overcome us, and Satan is plenty active with that anchor to wrap around our necks. There is nothing wrong with expectation. The problem is "the any minute" aspect of the false doctrine.
"Ajoy grew up in an evangelical church, surrounded by constant reminders that the rapture was just around the corner. She was taught to never sin, since it could be the very last thing she did before Jesus returned to Earth. Dramatic rapture-themed books and movies, created as fiction, were presented as real glimpses into the end of the world."
The secret rapture being false doctrine or not, Jesus said, point blank, "Go and sin no more." Stop sinning. There is not a passage in all the Bible that places a moratorium on the personal mission for the believer to stop sinning. We have an Advocate with the Father, when we do sin, as we will but, the desire, the mission of the individual is to become Christlike and stop sinning through the indwelling influence and power of Christ in us, the hope of glory. No serious believer wants to sin. Falling is reprehensible. Falling is weakness and we all have the sins that so easily beset us but, the purpose of grace is to help us defeat all temptation and live a righteous life. Christ is coming for a clean church, not a dirty one having made excuses for sin. Anybody who might believe such nonsense is nothing but a purposeful or ignorant messenger of Satan; an apostle of Lucifer, lying to deceive, if possible, even the very elect.
"Now 34, Ajoy is one of a growing network of “exvangelicals” who have removed themselves from what they now view as the damaging beliefs of some evangelical, Pentecostal and Baptist churches. She runs a popular TikTok account discussing faith and, among other things, the effects of traumatic religious experiences that can last for years – even a lifetime."
I spend time denouncing what the Bible tells me to denounce, which is why, as the marks of prophecy point her out, I denounce the doctrines and institution of the RCC, the Papacy and the Vatican. I denounce, not only Mother but, her harlot daughters, professed Christian churches that continue to follow and teach Mother's doctrines. They are daughters of Babylon. I am not going to spend time bashing former membership in any given church, unless it warrants mention via last day events and prophetic issues. People who spend time bashing former associations will never grow past their problems held within those associations. When Jesus said to shake off the dust from your feet, in regards to leaving the homes of those refusing to believe the gospel, that is exactly what He meant. Shake it off, move on. "Ephraim is joined to idols. Let him alone," Hosea 4:17.
“Rapture anxiety,” as it is often called, is recognized by some faith experts and mental health professionals as a type of religious trauma. Darren Slade, the president and CEO of the Global Center for Religious Research, has been studying religious trauma across several faiths and denominations for years.
“This is a real thing. It’s a chronic problem,” he says of rapture anxiety. “This is a new area of study, but in general, our research has revealed that religious trauma leads to an increase of anxiety, depression, paranoia and even some OCD-like behaviors: ‘I need to say this prayer of salvation so many times,’ ‘I need to confess my sins so often.’”
“Now imagine,” he continues, “You are taught that at any minute, you could be left here on Earth. What does that do to the teenager who just had premarital sex, or even simply took the Lord’s name in vain?”
What do you think it should produce in any believer's mind that has committed their life to Christ? Nothing makes sin, okay. Period. Jesus, the Son of God, the Creator and re-Creator of us all, died to save us from sin so we could live. In what human population would sinning not produce guilt, in the mind of someone professing connection to the Lord? And that is regardless of any secret rapture. Sin kills. "The wages of sin is death," Romans 6:23
Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
Rom 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
That's Christianity 101. The entire sixth chapter of Romans is a plea to stop sinning and we will, if we connect and stay connected to Christ. We break the connection and sin, and have to reconnect when we do, through repentance and forgiveness; God's grace. But, shall we just sin because there is grace? Paul says, No! The above "expert" knows about as much of the plan of salvation as Biden knows where he is at any given moment of the day. BOTH situations are irresponsible and outrageous falsehoods dropped into laps of people unawares.
What does a teaching of not sinning due to surrounding circumstances of biblical doctrine? It should keep teenagers from fornication, should it not? It should keep people from taking the Lord's name in vain. It should keep people from sinning in any way, thought, word or deed. Why do we sin? Because we choose our way, not God's. Sin is a choice. Why do we choose to sin? How many reasons can I type? There is always a reason. There is NEVER an excuse.
There is so much in the article that is right and that is wrong.
The second coming of Christ is the "blessed hope." It is the beginning of actual, physical immortality and eternal life. It is everything to the believer, especially those persecuted down through the ages. I can obviously see why the secret rapture, left behind, tribulation doctrines can leave children and teens freaked out and traumatized. Any erroneous doctrine can do that, and raised Roman Catholic, I experienced plenty of them as a little boy. A teaching of burning in hell forever made me an atheist. It's a lie perpetrated to fill coffers in the church through another lie, indulgences. The Reformation began over all these paganized lies that caused fear in adults, let alone children. Spiritual, prophetic Babylon exists because not all Reformers and churches left Mother's doctrines behind.
How is it there is no exvangelical movement regarding the false teaching of burning forever when the Bible teaches, cover to cover, the lost will be removed from existence through the flame of God's righteous presence? "Our God is a CONSUMING fire," Hebrews 12:29; a devouring fire, Rev 20:7-15. That ancient, pagan doctrine of burning without end, made even worse through Romanism and Mother's traditions and modifications, is responsible for more people turning away from God than any other in history. The wages of sin is death, not torture in flames that burn but, burn nothing up. God ignites no magic fires to keep souls alive while they writhe in unimaginable pain for ever because they are sinners who rejected the gift of salvation. Such a tyrant is not a Deity worthy of respect or love. Vindictiveness is not a noble trait in humans, let alone in Deity. Mount Olympus had plenty of that. The God of the Bible is no such Personage as false gods of antiquity, nor some New Age super-guru that allows everyone and sin to perpetuate through reincarnation or any other falsehood.
If any truth is taught correctly, it will be shared with both sides, and all truths have two sides: the blessings of acceptance and the consequences of rejection.
Honestly, in this powder puff, snowflake age, should we be surprised teens cannot grapple with the consequences of choices made that give self the podium of life and not taking up their cross and following Jesus wherever He leads?
I want Jesus to return. It is my hope and what keeps me going. I truly thought, based on world conditions, Christ would have returned within 5 years of my conversion, back in 1979. It became obvious after awhile that church backsliding and apostasy was creating detours and Christ was not going to return until things were made right, as much as possible, by the interventions of God in ways He chooses, in His time frame. I shook the dust off, and went on.
Life has not been a bed of roses, that's for sure. I never expected to reach 68 years of age in this life but, here it comes. Things are going to get worse and worse. It's the end of the world, people. There is no secret rapture but, there is a time of trouble and seriously, be afraid to be caught in it. The close of human probation and pouring out of the seven last plagues will affect us all in either straight out or sideways circumstances. The Hebrews went through all ten plagues. God protected them from seven, iirc. Everybody that is alive when the events strike is going through the seven last plagues, God, once again, protecting His people from their judgment. Just the same, it will be an excruciating time; a pressing, agonizing time. A remnant criminalized and made enemies of the state; even the entire deceived globe, driven out of society or imprisoned. Yeah, the stuff of nightmares, unless you love the Lord and believe in His promises. I hope you do.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

663. Occupy Till I Come - October 8, 2022
Everywhere I look I am seeing stories, information from various sources, that starvation level food shortages are coming. Seeing such stories from sources that are part of the controllers I take with a grain of salt. That is their wish. Whether or not they get it remains to be seen. When I see the story in news sources I tend to trust to report truth... that's a horse of another color. What to do with, how to regard and treat such information in a practical sense becomes pretty important.
Autumn is here. Temps have mellowed out here in Texas, though 99 degrees in the shop is no mellow matter. I've been out there 7 am to 7 pm for a couple weeks trying to get things in order for recording #4 - Solos for Concept Drum Sets. I'm just about there. If the stories of starvation level food shortages are accurate... prepping for a recording about odd or unique drum sets is hardly worthy of time, let alone any money I've spent. Thankfully, I had most of the materials to accomplish this task. Just the same, if 2023 is about to present a scenario that threatens the lives of millions, if not billions of people, on top of everything else the controllers have done or tried to do to depopulate the Earth, nobody is going to be recording much of anything when food, shelter and even warmth for millions is going to become top priority this winter.
The Bible tells us a time of trouble is coming and appears to be upon us, at least in the beginning stages: a smaller time of trouble preceding the final one - the close of human probation and the seven last plagues. It's no laughing matter. Preparation today is no less important than Noah preparing for his prophesied event. That prophecy came from God, Himself. The preparations came from God, Himself. Noah cooperated with God and followed His instructions. Noah and His family survived the greatest cataclysm this world has ever seen. Jesus compared the Flood to times before His second coming. Same with Sodom and Gomorrah. Lot was told to get out of town. Take nothing, just move, now! His adult children, his sons-in-law, thought he was crazy. They were destroyed in the cataclysm of their time, in that place. Lot's wife was too. She did exactly what God said not to do. She looked back, longing for her creature comforts, sorry for the loss of all her belongings just to practice her faith. Her abject disobedience and condition of her heart was evidence enough. She was turned into a pillar of salt, a preservative; a hard reminder God means what He says and says what He means, and when He says go, go. There is an eternity at stake here.
Jesus told His disciples, despite their horror, that Jerusalem would be destroyed. When they saw the city compassed with armies, it was time to leave. Get out. The armies of Rome surrounded the city. In the midst of coming disaster, the army was halted and sent elsewhere to address armed conflict in another part of the empire. The disciples saw this as the open door to get out and they left Jerusalem with naught but what they could carry. In due time the Roman armies came back and besieged the city and brought down the great temple, so much so, just as Jesus told them, not one stone was left upon another, literally. Thousands rushed, packed into the temple precincts, believing the Roman armies would allow them sanctuary. They all perished in the crazed onslaught.
The Flood, the judgment of fire-fall upon Sodom, Gomorrah and cities of the plain, the destruction of Jerusalem. All three events were used by Christ to teach very strict lessons about His return and preparation for it. Choices. Constant choices. For us, today, those who study the prophecies are bidden to watch and pray and just like the disciples, an event prophesied will take place to grant an open door to God's people to get out of the densely populated areas for places in settings of isolation, and that means big cities, to small villages. When the human race comes under the control of Satan, no seemingly small populated area will be safe for those taking a stand against the apostasy of our times: the denigration and negation of God's moral law, and replacement, by legislation, national and international, of the Sunday. God's Sabbath, the seventh-day of the week, is to be trounced upon and all those who abide in God's law, trounced with it. The mark of the Papal beast of prophecy, Sunday sacredness, will be legislated by law in this nation and all nations, disregarding laws of religious freedom of conscience.
When Sunday legislation begins to take place, when Jerusalem - God's people - are encompassed with Roman armies - the international influence of a revived and powerful Papacy - God's people are to see that sign as the last call to get out of the cities, the towns, the villages and head for solitary places and wait for the return of their Lord. They are promised their bread and water shall be sure, Isaiah 33:16.
Many will be captured, imprisoned, tormented, martyred... a time of intense spiritual darkness will culminate in the destruction of this world, when Christ comes to rescue His people.
I know, I know. It sounds like some insane, Hollywood production. A dystopia to end all dystopias. Yet look at what has happened already. Billions of lives forced into complacency by rogue government officials and unelected bureaucrats. Millions lost jobs and businesses around the world. Now, BILLIONS are threatened with health issues and even death because of intimidating provocateurs of lies who promoted vaccination or, were forced get injected with serums that are liquids from hell based on the world reports of coroners, doctors, medical researchers and hospital workers, many who have lost their jobs exposing the horrors. I know of no prophecy indicating such a global event. But a select few realized what was coming and told people it was, like Alex Jones. All who claimed him a big mouth, radical, ranting lunatic were wrong. All who were lumped into a tin hat debacle by media, by politicians, by influencers were wrong, and many knew they were lying because the plans to control the world have been out there for decades. Most have just not been paying attention.
With what the world has just been through and is attempting to recover from, while the controllers tell us more viruses are coming, more injections will be necessary, more control of our lives required, more dependence on the controllers deemed necessary for survival when food is gone, when all creature comforts are unraveling... no prophecy here, people. Just facts displayed and played out in front of us just how crazy these devils are in their pursuits of global domination. So, when people of the Book tell you and show you what is coming, based on God's forewarning, we had best pay attention because regardless of those fighting a good fight to save America or, any nation they reside in they see crumbling before them, the end of the world is coming. No tin hats. Real, trustworthy, accurate biblical prophetic warnings backed up by centuries of predictions come true, to give God's people trust in His Word.
Jesus said to occupy till He comes. Read the parable in its context:
Luke 19:11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
Luke 19:12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
Jesus conquered sin and death and received a glorius welcome from His Father in that far away place: Heaven - Psalm 24
Luke 19:13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
In the interim, before the King returns, he bids His servants to occupy till He returns again, being about our "Father's business," Luke 2:49, to increase the kingdom with the gifts and talents He has given us.
Luke 19:14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
The people of Earth who rebelled and laughed at Noah; Lot's wife; those who stayed in Jerusalem when they could have left... all are there as warnings, as instruction in righteousness that no one need be destroyed and forfeit eternal life through slackness and disbelief.
Luke 19:15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
Luke 19:16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
Luke 19:17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
Luke 19:18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
Luke 19:19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
Luke 19:20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
Luke 19:21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
Luke 19:22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
Luke 19:23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
Luke 19:24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
Luke 19:25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
At this point in the story the disciples say, Lord, the guy already has ten pounds. He gets another because of someone else' negligence?
Luke19:26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
Luke 19:27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
We all get opportunities to be saved from sin; to be rescued from the quagmire that is life on this fallen world. Most will not have Christ reigning over them. Most seek the world and its goods and for them, that is life. When they reach pinnacles and mountain tops of success and still, there is emptiness in the soul, some will look beyond the gold and silver to Him who owns it all and the cattle on a thousand hills, Psalm 50. They will experience salvation. They will inherit eternal life. Those who trust in riches, those who live for their gold and silver, this is for them:
James 5:1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
James 5:2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
Jas 5:3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
James 5:4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
James 5:5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
James 5:6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
Eze 7:17 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.
Eze 7:18 They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads.
Eze 7:19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.
Isa 2:17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
Isa 2:18 And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
Isa 2:19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
Isa 2:20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
Isa 2:21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
Isa 2:22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?
Look at the enclosed picture.
Autumn is here. Temps have mellowed out here in Texas, though 99 degrees in the shop is no mellow matter. I've been out there 7 am to 7 pm for a couple weeks trying to get things in order for recording #4 - Solos for Concept Drum Sets. I'm just about there. If the stories of starvation level food shortages are accurate... prepping for a recording about odd or unique drum sets is hardly worthy of time, let alone any money I've spent. Thankfully, I had most of the materials to accomplish this task. Just the same, if 2023 is about to present a scenario that threatens the lives of millions, if not billions of people, on top of everything else the controllers have done or tried to do to depopulate the Earth, nobody is going to be recording much of anything when food, shelter and even warmth for millions is going to become top priority this winter.
The Bible tells us a time of trouble is coming and appears to be upon us, at least in the beginning stages: a smaller time of trouble preceding the final one - the close of human probation and the seven last plagues. It's no laughing matter. Preparation today is no less important than Noah preparing for his prophesied event. That prophecy came from God, Himself. The preparations came from God, Himself. Noah cooperated with God and followed His instructions. Noah and His family survived the greatest cataclysm this world has ever seen. Jesus compared the Flood to times before His second coming. Same with Sodom and Gomorrah. Lot was told to get out of town. Take nothing, just move, now! His adult children, his sons-in-law, thought he was crazy. They were destroyed in the cataclysm of their time, in that place. Lot's wife was too. She did exactly what God said not to do. She looked back, longing for her creature comforts, sorry for the loss of all her belongings just to practice her faith. Her abject disobedience and condition of her heart was evidence enough. She was turned into a pillar of salt, a preservative; a hard reminder God means what He says and says what He means, and when He says go, go. There is an eternity at stake here.
Jesus told His disciples, despite their horror, that Jerusalem would be destroyed. When they saw the city compassed with armies, it was time to leave. Get out. The armies of Rome surrounded the city. In the midst of coming disaster, the army was halted and sent elsewhere to address armed conflict in another part of the empire. The disciples saw this as the open door to get out and they left Jerusalem with naught but what they could carry. In due time the Roman armies came back and besieged the city and brought down the great temple, so much so, just as Jesus told them, not one stone was left upon another, literally. Thousands rushed, packed into the temple precincts, believing the Roman armies would allow them sanctuary. They all perished in the crazed onslaught.
The Flood, the judgment of fire-fall upon Sodom, Gomorrah and cities of the plain, the destruction of Jerusalem. All three events were used by Christ to teach very strict lessons about His return and preparation for it. Choices. Constant choices. For us, today, those who study the prophecies are bidden to watch and pray and just like the disciples, an event prophesied will take place to grant an open door to God's people to get out of the densely populated areas for places in settings of isolation, and that means big cities, to small villages. When the human race comes under the control of Satan, no seemingly small populated area will be safe for those taking a stand against the apostasy of our times: the denigration and negation of God's moral law, and replacement, by legislation, national and international, of the Sunday. God's Sabbath, the seventh-day of the week, is to be trounced upon and all those who abide in God's law, trounced with it. The mark of the Papal beast of prophecy, Sunday sacredness, will be legislated by law in this nation and all nations, disregarding laws of religious freedom of conscience.

Look at the enclosed picture.
What you are looking is the last couple of weeks turning everyday items into drums, drums I am going to record with. The living area is filling up with them. Some, as you can see, are already drums; lower line, less expensive instruments considered less than worthy of being recorded, by many. They exist for people just starting out. Well, with those and with drums that are not drums but, are drums by definition: a membrane or two stretched across a cylinder, I am going to record solos on those things, those drumless drums and show that passion for playing decides what is played, not what a person plays on. All the marketing for the top of the line gear. That because the "pros" use it to record and tour with, so must we; the starry-eyed wannabes who wish we had careers in music, and how many are willing to fork over a whole lot of cash to get instruments "worthy" of pride and notice.
Let me tell you something. The things in that picture, the drumless drums, represent people. Anyone, ANYONE can come to the Lord just as they are and be saved from sin, from stupidity and selfishness, from sorrows, from woes, from pains, from grief, from wounds so deep no one but God can understand the depths of struggle it brings upon them. Anyone can be saved. No sin is too grievace, no life too far gone they cannot turn and find life in Christ, and he can play on them as finely tuned instruments of life-giving beauty and grace under His glorious hands and guidance. One man's trash is another man's treasure. One world's worthless human is God's potential evangelist or missionary or, mother, father, son or daughter of sound mind and service to mankind.
It isn't too late, until it is too late. Each and every person with ability to reason has a chance to walk in the light that shines upon their pathway saying, "This is the way; walk in it." Until they build a wall in their soul God cannot penetrate, and they commit the unpardonable sin and cover themselves with darkness, God can and will save whoever comes to Him. Whoever goes to Him, He will not cast out, John 6:37.
The door of salvation is open. It shall not always be. The Flood came, the fire fell, the armies destroyed. Soon, the world shall be engulfed and destroyed by the plagues and then, at last, by the pure and righteous glory and power of Christ. No Hollywood movie. Reality.
Darkness covers the Earth; gross darkness the people. I say it again; the end of all things is at hand. Get ready, get ready, get ready. I hear the footsteps of an approaching God.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

664. Weaponizing God's Word - October 8, 2022
I just read of a new book to be released in 2023. The major premise of the book is to highlight a mistranslation. The mistranslation of Greek words used to translate into the word "homosexual" in the Bible, modern Bibles, meaning Bible versions written in the mid and beyond 20th century, are incorrect and thereby causing great harm to the homosexual community.
https://www.christianitydaily.com/articles/16507/20220924/weaponizing-gods-word-lgbtq-ally-and-researcher-probes-on-biblical-mistranslations.htm
Weaponizing God's Word is not new, by any means. It's been done by professed believers for thousands of years. But, here we have a premise stating a mistranslation has been done which has led to the persecution of professed believers and others.
According to the article, two Greek words are brought forth:
"In a 1946 edition of the Revised Standard Version, the words "malakoi" and "arsenokoitai" were combined into the word "homosexuality." Not only has this caused a mistranslation in the copies of the Bible, it has also shaped a culture of hate and discrimination towards the LGBTQ+."
It is important to remember that translations come from manuscripts containing Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, and later, Latin languages. They must be translated into languages spoken in places other than the world of the ancients. Even the Hebrew manuscripts were translated into Greek for the people of God who spoke that predominant language in the ancient world. That version is called the Septuagint.
Those who speak English depend on various works of scholarship that give us tools to see what ancient words were in those old manuscripts and what they mean. Ofttimes they can mean several things. Take the word "saw." Does it mean a tool for cutting wood or is it the past tense of 'see.' Every language of civilization has such words.
Manuscripts also vary. They come from two major sources. Most of the manuscripts mankind has to translate from are known as the "Textus Receptus" or, the Received Text, the accepted manuscripts of scholars who translated into other languages ages ago, such as the Geneva Bible, the most-used version of its time in the 16th century, and the later King James version in the 17th century.
The other ancient manuscripts are called the "Codex Vaticanus," manuscripts said to be fourth century documents discovered by accident in some monastery or something. It remains in the control of the Vatican. It is predominantly used for most all modern translations. It is not without controversy.
Not that I trust Wiki very much but, this sentence is powerful enough -
"It was at that point that scholars realised the text differed significantly from the Textus Receptus.[5]"
Well, well. The beginning of the Wiki entry for the Codex Vaticanus is a goldmine of corrupted history and the implications for the times we live in. That's not what the Wiki authors meant. It's just what jumps out at those who know background to the history.
No translation is perfect. Language has far too many facets to get everything absolutely correct but, make no mistake. God has protected the message of His character, kingdom and purposes in His Word, and while I own and use versions from the Codex, my final arbiters are translations from the Textus Receptus. I am a Protestant by evidence and conviction. The Vatican controlling anything presents reason for suspicion for me and Protestants down through the ages. Romanism was never to be trusted then or today.
Now, to the first word mentioned, "malakoi." The TR uses other forms of that Greek word, being malakia and malakos. Malakia is translated three times as "disease." Malakos is translated once as "effeminate," and twice as "soft." Let's see its use translated effeminate -
1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
1Co 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1Co 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Thayer's Greek lexicon gives us this information about the word -
malakos
Thayer Definition:
1) soft, soft to the touch
2) metaphorically in a bad sense
2a) effeminate
2a1) of a catamite
2a2) of a boy kept for homosexual relations with a man
2a3) of a male who submits his body to unnatural lewdness
2a4) of a male prostitute
BTW, Thayer's is a book composed in 1841, a hundred years removed from 1946.
The ever popular Strong's concordance, also a 19th century work, states this about the word -
malakos
mal-ak-os'
Of uncertain affinity; soft, that is, fine (clothing); figuratively a catamite: - effeminate, soft.
Ever seen the word "catamite" before? What is it? Look it up. It refers to a boy or youth kept as a sexual partner by an adult male. It was a fairly common thing in ancient Greek and Roman times. There are those hoping to make it common today.
How about that second word, "arsenokoitai." "Arsen" means "man." Let's look at their place in the NT.
We just saw once instance, in 1 Cor. 6:9. "nor abusers of themselves with mankind, " Remember, Strong's and Thayer's are working with the Textus Receptus, and spelling differences from the Codex Vaticanus.
Strong's -
arsenokoitēs
ar-sen-ok-oy'-tace
From G730 and G2845; a sodomite: - abuser of (that defile) self with mankind.
A sodomite, as in, the male citizens of ancient Sodom who wanted to rape the guests Lot took into his house one evening. Genesis 19. No one with any reasoning ability could read Genesis 19 and not realize the situation being described (yada, yada, yada). A sodomite is a homosexual. That's not from me. That's not from people out to get the LGBTQ community. That's ancient literature known as God's Word, the Bible.
What about Thayer's -
arsenokoitēs
Thayer Definition:
1) one who lies with a male as with a female, sodomite, homosexual
Part of Speech: noun masculine
A Related Word by Thayer’s/Strong’s Number: from G730 and G2845
I've mentioned 'arsen' means 'man.' What about "koite," noted as Strong's entry, G2845? It means a bed or bed chamber. Here's a verse it's found -
Rom 13:13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
Strong's -
koitē
koy'-tay
From G2749; a couch; by extension cohabitation; by implication the male sperm: - bed, chambering, X conceive.
Thayer's -
koitē
Thayer Definition:
1) a place for laying down, resting, sleeping in
1a) a bed, couch
2) the marriage bed
2a) of adultery
3) cohabitation, whether lawful or unlawful
3a) sexual intercourse
I have no idea what the author of this book is going to try and legitimize homosexuality with, while trying to castigate believers using the Word of God to take a stand against the ever growing and accepted practice and sinful behavior but, trying to do so using translations from 1946 onward, is not going to cut it with those who understand some history regarding Bible translations and who actually study the Word and allow it to interpret itself.
The article states the author has been studying this out for four years.
"Kathy Baldock, an expert researcher and an LGBTQ+ ally, has done extensive research on the issue for four years. The data she uncovered will be published in her upcoming book, "Forging a Sacred Weapon."
Meaning no offense but, those who have studied for their entire lives and written books on the subject BEFORE the larger corruption of professed Christianity in our day, came to a different conclusion.
Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities of the plain are used as signs of the times for a reason; a vital reason. Our world is becoming a chamber of immorality, and that is regardless of homosexuality or heterosexuality. Temptations abound and grab even the most dedicated believers. Satan is active as not just a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour but, a desperate, hungry pack of lions. Nay, a dragon waging war against the human race; a war most are not even aware exists but, that is changing.
Everything in the Bible has been and will be attacked. Everyone professing belief in the Bible as the Word of God will be attacked because of it. Believers take heart in Hebrews 11 and "the march of faith" recorded there. Despite today's temptations all around, we are not alone. True, the days we live in are like Noah's day, Sodom and Gomorrah, and the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. Unique times, respectively speaking. Things are wicked and growing worse but, "we have an anchor that keeps the soul, steadfast and sure while the billows roll." God's care of His people is legendary. The issue is not temporal life or death. The issue is eternal life or death. "All they that live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." Not 'might.' Shall. It is coming and God's people will once again be given the opportunity to rise and shine and display the character of God in their lives to dispel the darkness and give witness that God is sovereign and God is love.
I am sorry for those who have used the Bible as a weapon to harm people in any way, other than proclaiming the truth and the conviction that follows. That goes for all sin, not just sexual sins. I am sorry to those who have been victimized. Claiming victimization because of your sins? No. That boat don't float.
Repentance and marching in the light of truth is the only remedy God has provided for salvation. It has worked for homosexuals, heterosexuals, asexuals and every other person down through history, to find new life in our Creator and re-Creator of our souls and spirits, and in far too many cases to count, even our bodies.
We cannot fool God. We cannot undo His Word. I know it. All believers know it. There comes the day when each and every person has to reckon with that truth in some way, shape or form. In God's grace and mercy, we have the chance, the constant chances, to make it right. Probation. Life is a period of probation to make it right and keep it right.
Christ in us, the hope of glory, is the only way. He is the Light that shines on every person that comes into the world, John 1:9, including those in the LGBTQ community. Nobody gets a pass. All shall stand before God someday addressing every thought, every word and every action in their lives. It is all recorded. It shall all come to light. Some will have an Advocate pleading their case before the judgment seat of God, showing a changed life through forgiveness and spiritual cleansing. Others...? God will not have to condemn. Their lives will do it for them.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
https://www.christianitydaily.com/articles/16507/20220924/weaponizing-gods-word-lgbtq-ally-and-researcher-probes-on-biblical-mistranslations.htm
Weaponizing God's Word is not new, by any means. It's been done by professed believers for thousands of years. But, here we have a premise stating a mistranslation has been done which has led to the persecution of professed believers and others.
According to the article, two Greek words are brought forth:
"In a 1946 edition of the Revised Standard Version, the words "malakoi" and "arsenokoitai" were combined into the word "homosexuality." Not only has this caused a mistranslation in the copies of the Bible, it has also shaped a culture of hate and discrimination towards the LGBTQ+."
It is important to remember that translations come from manuscripts containing Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, and later, Latin languages. They must be translated into languages spoken in places other than the world of the ancients. Even the Hebrew manuscripts were translated into Greek for the people of God who spoke that predominant language in the ancient world. That version is called the Septuagint.
Those who speak English depend on various works of scholarship that give us tools to see what ancient words were in those old manuscripts and what they mean. Ofttimes they can mean several things. Take the word "saw." Does it mean a tool for cutting wood or is it the past tense of 'see.' Every language of civilization has such words.
Manuscripts also vary. They come from two major sources. Most of the manuscripts mankind has to translate from are known as the "Textus Receptus" or, the Received Text, the accepted manuscripts of scholars who translated into other languages ages ago, such as the Geneva Bible, the most-used version of its time in the 16th century, and the later King James version in the 17th century.
The other ancient manuscripts are called the "Codex Vaticanus," manuscripts said to be fourth century documents discovered by accident in some monastery or something. It remains in the control of the Vatican. It is predominantly used for most all modern translations. It is not without controversy.
Not that I trust Wiki very much but, this sentence is powerful enough -
"It was at that point that scholars realised the text differed significantly from the Textus Receptus.[5]"
Well, well. The beginning of the Wiki entry for the Codex Vaticanus is a goldmine of corrupted history and the implications for the times we live in. That's not what the Wiki authors meant. It's just what jumps out at those who know background to the history.
No translation is perfect. Language has far too many facets to get everything absolutely correct but, make no mistake. God has protected the message of His character, kingdom and purposes in His Word, and while I own and use versions from the Codex, my final arbiters are translations from the Textus Receptus. I am a Protestant by evidence and conviction. The Vatican controlling anything presents reason for suspicion for me and Protestants down through the ages. Romanism was never to be trusted then or today.
Now, to the first word mentioned, "malakoi." The TR uses other forms of that Greek word, being malakia and malakos. Malakia is translated three times as "disease." Malakos is translated once as "effeminate," and twice as "soft." Let's see its use translated effeminate -
1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
1Co 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1Co 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Thayer's Greek lexicon gives us this information about the word -
malakos
Thayer Definition:
1) soft, soft to the touch
2) metaphorically in a bad sense
2a) effeminate
2a1) of a catamite
2a2) of a boy kept for homosexual relations with a man
2a3) of a male who submits his body to unnatural lewdness
2a4) of a male prostitute
BTW, Thayer's is a book composed in 1841, a hundred years removed from 1946.
The ever popular Strong's concordance, also a 19th century work, states this about the word -
malakos
mal-ak-os'
Of uncertain affinity; soft, that is, fine (clothing); figuratively a catamite: - effeminate, soft.
Ever seen the word "catamite" before? What is it? Look it up. It refers to a boy or youth kept as a sexual partner by an adult male. It was a fairly common thing in ancient Greek and Roman times. There are those hoping to make it common today.
How about that second word, "arsenokoitai." "Arsen" means "man." Let's look at their place in the NT.
We just saw once instance, in 1 Cor. 6:9. "nor abusers of themselves with mankind, " Remember, Strong's and Thayer's are working with the Textus Receptus, and spelling differences from the Codex Vaticanus.
Strong's -
arsenokoitēs
ar-sen-ok-oy'-tace
From G730 and G2845; a sodomite: - abuser of (that defile) self with mankind.
A sodomite, as in, the male citizens of ancient Sodom who wanted to rape the guests Lot took into his house one evening. Genesis 19. No one with any reasoning ability could read Genesis 19 and not realize the situation being described (yada, yada, yada). A sodomite is a homosexual. That's not from me. That's not from people out to get the LGBTQ community. That's ancient literature known as God's Word, the Bible.
What about Thayer's -
arsenokoitēs
Thayer Definition:
1) one who lies with a male as with a female, sodomite, homosexual
Part of Speech: noun masculine
A Related Word by Thayer’s/Strong’s Number: from G730 and G2845
I've mentioned 'arsen' means 'man.' What about "koite," noted as Strong's entry, G2845? It means a bed or bed chamber. Here's a verse it's found -
Rom 13:13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
Strong's -
koitē
koy'-tay
From G2749; a couch; by extension cohabitation; by implication the male sperm: - bed, chambering, X conceive.
Thayer's -
koitē
Thayer Definition:
1) a place for laying down, resting, sleeping in
1a) a bed, couch
2) the marriage bed
2a) of adultery
3) cohabitation, whether lawful or unlawful
3a) sexual intercourse
I have no idea what the author of this book is going to try and legitimize homosexuality with, while trying to castigate believers using the Word of God to take a stand against the ever growing and accepted practice and sinful behavior but, trying to do so using translations from 1946 onward, is not going to cut it with those who understand some history regarding Bible translations and who actually study the Word and allow it to interpret itself.
The article states the author has been studying this out for four years.
"Kathy Baldock, an expert researcher and an LGBTQ+ ally, has done extensive research on the issue for four years. The data she uncovered will be published in her upcoming book, "Forging a Sacred Weapon."
Meaning no offense but, those who have studied for their entire lives and written books on the subject BEFORE the larger corruption of professed Christianity in our day, came to a different conclusion.
Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities of the plain are used as signs of the times for a reason; a vital reason.

The Worst Bird Flu Ever Recorded
Jesus said disease and illness would be a sign of His return, meaning a world-wide, noticeable sign by people watching and taking notice.
Between Europe and North America, 97.7 MILLION birds have died. The food supply alone is not the only concern (no real concern for those who are vegetarians and vegan). The concern rises if said virus mutates into a form passable to humans.

665. A Prophetic Call for Climate Justice ???
Save the planet. Create a one-world religious movement.
“Returning to Mt. Sinai” — A Prophetic Call for Climate Justice and Ceremony of Repentance Sunday, November 13th, 2022, Mount Sinai In parallel with the COP 27 UN Climate Conference"
https://interfaithsustain.com/returning-to-mt-sinai/
This climate-thing is really getting worn out and old. From freezing to death, to evaporating to death, to just plain old "climate change," this decades old, calamity howling gets worse and worse. Now, a ceremony of repentance? Repent from the sin of driving cars and running factories, and all the rest, EXCEPT for the hypocritical proponents of all this flying around in their private jets. Their carbon footprint is of no consequence. I am supposed to repent of mine. Fat chance.
By the way, this is not a return to Mt. Sinai, the place where God spoke His moral law, the Ten Commandments. No, this is a gathering on the Sinai peninsula, in Egypt, to adopt new commandments, yet to be announced.
Paul wrote of the real Mt. Sinai:
Gal 4:25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
As was pointed out to me in an email, emperor Constantine's mother, Helena, supposedly had a vision which proclaimed Sinai was at the end of the peninsula, in Egypt where this event is being held.
"Religious communities and religious leaders have a key role to play in addressing climate change and climate justice, which requires deep transformation within society. The knowledge of what changes are critically needed to diminish long-term harm to the planet is readily available. However, bringing about change in action demands deeper changes in attitude, a change of heart. This has been the domain of religions for millennia. Religions are sources of inspiration for the transformation of heart and the ensuing changes of attitude."
So, we must have a change of heart toward carbon footprint but, as far as the law God spoke and a change of heart towards those sins? Not so much. Save Mother Earth? Sure. Save your souls from sin? Well, that's a private matter. No need to step on toes. Mustn't offend anyone.
"We come to Sinai in a movement of repentance and quest. We seek a new vision for humanity and its endangered existence, and we seek to receive and amplify a message of life-sustaining living and habits that humanity needs to hear today. In this spirit, the project partners will bring together premier religious leaders from the world’s major religions to gather upon Mount Sinai to engage in a first ever Climate Repentance Ceremony, and to put forth a prophetic interreligious call to action: “Climate Justice: Ten Universal Commandments.”
Premier religious leaders. Top tier. Names. Biggies. Elites. Forget God's commandments. Not the least of which is the fourth, regarding His seventh-day Sabbath and memorial of creation, which, if the whole world rested upon, the amount of pollution created would drop by a seventh. The elite leaders of the Hebrew faith, will they bring attention to that? Unlikely. They'll be there to see to it ten new commandments are addressed by humanity, as though God's ten would not affect humanity in a way that would logically and continually see to it the Earth was not harmed by mankind's quest for wealth in any way, at any price.
Ah, but wait. There's more. While no prophetic voice is associated with this "call," there is the voice of the apostle John, writing from the rocky isle of Patmos, recording his visions that are the Revelation of Jesus Christ. And, in them we see a mark placed upon all the world's citizens "in" the forehead or in the hand. The mark of the beast stands opposed to the seal of the living God. We have seen that seal is, biblically, God's Sabbath of the law, the fourth commandment. And the mark of the Papal beast? By its own consistent historical declarations; SUNDAY. Care to guess the chances a call to rest on Sunday and save energy and lower pollution rates will be part of this call to repentance, and to evangelize the Earth on its behalf? I'm not predicting but, no way I'd be surprised.
"Who: This is an event delivered by world religious leaders. At its core is the work of the Elijah Board of World Religious Leaders, an active community of high-level religious leaders. The project partners also seek to involve celebrities who have a track record of climate advocacy."
Big-name religious leaders and celebrities!!! Man, what an infomercial. We must absolutely listen and obey.
Yes, I mock. It should be mocked. It's a joke. A bad joke and insult to the Creator. Jesus said, where two or more are gathered in His name and agree on anything there He is in the midst. No big names. No celebrities. Common folk can change the world, and eleven of them did just that under the influence of the Holy Spirit 2,000 years ago, guided by a Carpenter's teachings. Not good enough today, though. We need elite leaders and celebrities to tell us to repent and save the Earth, despite the fact it is not in planetary trouble, despite the propaganda, and as a planet created by God, it has engines of change and adaptation and modifications built in, not that different from all life on it. Animals adapt. Humans adapt. It's a planet, not a pond. The planet is now speaking to the issues of human interference in ways hard to mistake. Violent demonstrations of land and sea take place. The planet seems angry. Man cannot stop its fury.
The only way mankind could kill the planet is if it totally destroyed the systems that run it. As bad as killing sea turtles with floating trash is, the planet will not be killed by it. Nor will it be killed by carbon-dioxide, which trees use to convert to oxygen. Cut down all the trees, kill all the pollinating insects and yeah, you have a problem but, I don't see protest to chemical companies and their products sprayed over millions of acres of cropland every year, infecting and killing bee populations.
"Carbon monoxide is produced by the incomplete combustion of carbon in liquid, solid, and gaseous fuels (George 2001)."
Rather than repent, would it not be the logical thing to do to research and develop more and more ways to burn fossil fuels more cleanly, more fully and completely? Wind is not going to get people to work. The sun is only as good as no clouds are in the sky, and as far as creating power, the cost ratio remains ridiculously lopsided. Recent stories in Florida show electric cars bursting into flames having been under water through the hurricane and flooding. Wow, whodathunk? I read another story of a guy who drove for an hour to charge his car so he could drive a few miles. Think if everybody drove electric vehicles. Power companies cannot deal with demand now. What do you suppose will happen if all vehicles require power? Well, they are designing self-charging cars. It's too bad those who invented engines that work on other solid or liquid things rather than oil-based products died, lost their patent rights, as the oil industry just keeps on trucking. That's another subject. Back to repentance of driving a gasoline-fueled engine.
"Other Partners: The UN Environment Program’s Faith for Earth Initiative works to strategically engage with faith-based organizations and partner with them to collectively achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and fulfill the objectives of the 2030 Agenda."
If you are not familiar with the UN's Agenda 2030, look it up. It's the same rhetoric of population control Agenda 21 was all about.
On the Eco-Bible page on the site:
"Your Guide to Living a Healthier, More Sustainable Lifestyle Get the book that Publishers Weekly says “will inspire contemplation on how to live in harmony with nature and the power of conservation.”
Why is it Leftists are all about CONSERVING the Earth but, CONSERVING the culture, CONSERVING Western civilization, CONSERVATIVES are enemies of their plans? They love conserving when it meets their ultimate agendas but, do not tell them to conserve culture and traditions that created and sustained western civilization for centuries. No, no. Can't conserve that. That's in the way of the new culture and new world order.
If you believe the Bible, there is no sustainable future. There is a world waxing old as a garment and spiritual darkness developing, despite cries of great light and peace and safety.
People who buy into this barnyard defecation are a blight on the Creator's message for the world. They are the facemask crowd, the lockdown, obey your leaders crowd, obey the "science" crowd, ban the unvaccinated crowd; they are Fauciites, Schwabites, Gatesites, worshipers of the WHO, the UN, Obamaites, ultra-Leftists, and all the rest of the elitist hypocrites attempting to gain control of the planet they could care less about. It is a means to an end. The end justifies the means.
I hold to God's commands. I hold to the faith and testimony of Jesus Christ. If I am lost, by my own actions or inactions, I know the truth is God's Word, the Bible, all of it, in context, meant for anyone who wants to know their Creator and Saviour. This climate movement is at least misguided, if not satanically guided to deceive the whole world.
Remember, the world is to be deceived by a religious element in the last days, not a secularist element. The secular will cause the backlash and gel of the religious to drop any doctrines that divide and join on those seen fit to win the world. SUNDAY will end up at the top of the list.
There may be very sincere people involved in this movement. There always are. I'm not holding out many of them have much common sense.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
UPDATE! - In perusing the site, on the blog pages, I came upon a post about the Seventh-day Sabbath, from a Jewish perspective.
https://interfaithsustain.com/shabbat-blessing/
With that background, as well as all the information about conserving the health of the Earth's waters, soils, air and all its inhabitants, is it not curious to see this interfaith day of climate justice and ceremonial repentance on SUNDAY?
I have mentioned before, when America contemplated shutting down Sunday, as a federal day of rest, back in the late 1800's, through the Blair Bill, several Sabbath-keeping groups were there to speak to the issue: Jews, Seventh-day Baptists, and Seventh-day Adventists. The record shows the Jewish position and that of the Seventh-day Baptists were those of victimization. The position of the SDA's - J.O. Corliss and Alonzo T. Jones - was one of in-depth traditions, history, the rule of law, common sense, and even prophecy. Jones withstood a Q&A from Senator Blair that changed the attitude of Congress and the bill was defeated. Jones wrote many small and large works on the issue filled with incredible principles on the subject.
There is little reason to believe things would be different today, with the exception of not just the Jews and SDB's crying victimization but, also, the SDA denomination, which has lost much of its fervor for the principles of religious freedom of conscience, history, its own prophetic place in history, the rule of law, and functions as just another religious business today. Other Sabbath keeping groups likewise. Sunday will emerge victorious as a day of national and international rest, regardless of history or principles of God's law, man's law, or any other principles of right and wrong. The professed Christian world, as well as the Jewish world will comply, with only a prophesied "remnant" standing against the global apostasy against the law of the Creator.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

- Specific Action Items for Achieving a Sustainable Future"
Why is it Leftists are all about CONSERVING the Earth but, CONSERVING the culture, CONSERVING Western civilization, CONSERVATIVES are enemies of their plans? They love conserving when it meets their ultimate agendas but, do not tell them to conserve culture and traditions that created and sustained western civilization for centuries. No, no. Can't conserve that. That's in the way of the new culture and new world order.
If you believe the Bible, there is no sustainable future. There is a world waxing old as a garment and spiritual darkness developing, despite cries of great light and peace and safety.
People who buy into this barnyard defecation are a blight on the Creator's message for the world. They are the facemask crowd, the lockdown, obey your leaders crowd, obey the "science" crowd, ban the unvaccinated crowd; they are Fauciites, Schwabites, Gatesites, worshipers of the WHO, the UN, Obamaites, ultra-Leftists, and all the rest of the elitist hypocrites attempting to gain control of the planet they could care less about. It is a means to an end. The end justifies the means.
I hold to God's commands. I hold to the faith and testimony of Jesus Christ. If I am lost, by my own actions or inactions, I know the truth is God's Word, the Bible, all of it, in context, meant for anyone who wants to know their Creator and Saviour. This climate movement is at least misguided, if not satanically guided to deceive the whole world.
Remember, the world is to be deceived by a religious element in the last days, not a secularist element. The secular will cause the backlash and gel of the religious to drop any doctrines that divide and join on those seen fit to win the world. SUNDAY will end up at the top of the list.
There may be very sincere people involved in this movement. There always are. I'm not holding out many of them have much common sense.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
UPDATE! - In perusing the site, on the blog pages, I came upon a post about the Seventh-day Sabbath, from a Jewish perspective.
https://interfaithsustain.com/shabbat-blessing/
With that background, as well as all the information about conserving the health of the Earth's waters, soils, air and all its inhabitants, is it not curious to see this interfaith day of climate justice and ceremonial repentance on SUNDAY?
I have mentioned before, when America contemplated shutting down Sunday, as a federal day of rest, back in the late 1800's, through the Blair Bill, several Sabbath-keeping groups were there to speak to the issue: Jews, Seventh-day Baptists, and Seventh-day Adventists. The record shows the Jewish position and that of the Seventh-day Baptists were those of victimization. The position of the SDA's - J.O. Corliss and Alonzo T. Jones - was one of in-depth traditions, history, the rule of law, common sense, and even prophecy. Jones withstood a Q&A from Senator Blair that changed the attitude of Congress and the bill was defeated. Jones wrote many small and large works on the issue filled with incredible principles on the subject.
There is little reason to believe things would be different today, with the exception of not just the Jews and SDB's crying victimization but, also, the SDA denomination, which has lost much of its fervor for the principles of religious freedom of conscience, history, its own prophetic place in history, the rule of law, and functions as just another religious business today. Other Sabbath keeping groups likewise. Sunday will emerge victorious as a day of national and international rest, regardless of history or principles of God's law, man's law, or any other principles of right and wrong. The professed Christian world, as well as the Jewish world will comply, with only a prophesied "remnant" standing against the global apostasy against the law of the Creator.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Here's How Bad it Is
I am fuming and outraged. I am sullen and heartbroken. I am just shocked a father can be so...
"Illinois Rep. Sean Casten revealed the cause of death of his daughter Gwen, who died in June 2022 at the age of 17."
Casten's family issued a lengthy statement on his official social media accounts more than three months after his daughter’s death. In the statement, the family shared that the teen’s cause of death was a sudden cardiac arrhythmia.
“In layman’s terms, she was fine, and then her heart stopped,” the statement read in part. “We don’t know what caused the (arrhythmia), and likely never will.”
https://www.today.com/health/news/il-rep-sean-casten-says-daughter-died-cardiac-arrhythmia-rcna51333
Autopsy? No autopsy to find out why a healthy 17 year old dies in her sleep? You are a representative of your state and you have no interest in knowing why your healthy daughter dies in her sleep? Are you so in bed with whoever you will not rock the boat for your own daughter??? Coward! Your daughter looked to you for guidance and you let these bastards kill her with this infernal injection and you do no investigating? Are you out of your mind? You even claim your daughter's death is rare but, not unique. You know other teens are dying and you do nothing to investigate what the hell is going on?!? Coward! Three months you grieve, and you will continue to grieve and when will you wake up and realize what happened was probably, if not definitely, no accident of nature?
It cannot get any worse than a father, in a position of responsibility, just takes such an event in defeat and does nothing because there might be some political or cultural/social consequences? Can it get any worse? How can it get worse when a father will not rise up and ask probing questions and get to the bottom of such a thing, happening to teens all over the nation and all over the world!
An autopsy would have revealed blood clots, who knows what that would show up and tell the story. It's being seen in bloated, record numbers all over the world!
Forgive my outrage. It just is so wrong that these devils that have perpetuated this monstrous attack on innocent people all over the planet are having to stand in no position of responsibility and accountability. They willfully entered activity to kill people; useless eaters to them. Just life forms taking up too much space for Mother Earth and need to be culled. At least despots stand forth and boast about their atrocities and challenge payback and they generally get it at some point. These monsters have done it all behind scenes of contracts and money and meetings and yet, put it all out there to be seen for those willing to look for their tracks left in the sands of their clandestine machinations.
I have zero pity for these demons. None. They will stand before God someday and His pity will have been exhausted, as well.
Even so, come!, Lord Jesus.

NUMBERS
Donald Trump has yet to announce he's running for POTUS in 2024 and yet his rallies in 2022 have drawn hundreds of thousands of people so far. The people want a champion. Trump ain't it, by a long shot but, the numbers are adding up. The MSM is doing its best to downplay these rallies and the attendance numbers. They report, and then you read all the comments from people who attended and waited in lines for hours, to park their cars, to get into whatever places the rallies were held, and you just look at the pictures.
I had hoped Trump would not run in 2024. On the other hand, there is no one else who will do what Trump does best - punch back.
DeSantis has high numbers in Florida, and his effectual handling of the aftermath of the hurricane are increasing those positive numbers.
Kari Lake is rolling like a tank through Arizona, gaining percentage points over no-show opponent, Katie Hobbs. Lake is a firebrand of unequaled poise and powerful responses to probing questions. As her numbers grow, the work to defeat her grows, as well. Arizona lawmakers are already monkeying around with the voting process. The same is happening elsewhere.
November is closing in and more and more Americans, according to constant surveys these days, EXPECT fraud to take place, and Democrats doing anything they can to maintain control of Congress. Why are those numbers rising? How is that not creating an American 3rd world banana republic personification? Democrats are now despots, desperate politicians who only want control and power. Republicans are not far away from that. Certainly RINOs are there and have been for decades.
That's politics. The most untrustworthy arena of American blowholes on Earth.
20 million deaths, 2.2 billion injuries from the Covid mRNA injections. Sounds outrageous? Not really. It is going to get worse.
https://www.redvoicemedia.com/2022/10/20-million-dead-from-the-jab-2-2-billion-injured-analyst-estimates-video/
“If you take that vaccine, you’re [400%] more likely to die from a fatal cardiac arrest over the next six months than if you don’t.”
https://www.redvoicemedia.com/2022/10/smoking-gun-the-death-jab-failed-and-the-evidence-was-there-before-vaccine-rollout-video/
Still, about half of Americans (49%) are planning to get influenza shots this year. Now that seems outrageous to me. That means half of Americans are just not paying attention to the realities of what is happening in our world at the hands of drug companies. Reports are global, NOT from major news outlets, no. The social media sites are still censoring any and all info that stakes the claim for truth but, by virtue of reports from researchers, doctors, even national legislatures taking stands against injecting children or pregnant women, the world, depending on leaders, is waking up.
Call me a skeptic but, I am not enthusiastic about some huge political blowback changing things. Outside of Sri Lanka, where have any radical, rogue leaders vacated their towers of control at the hands of citizens fed up with corruption ruining their lives?
Numbers can mean a lot. Or not.

666. The Backlash of Being Right - October 11, 2022
It never fails. When something corrupt is exposed a backlash from corruption's protectors takes place.
When I began ministry as young convert to the faith and began to speak out on things I saw that were out of harmony with the stated truth of the church I was a member of, I was shocked at the backlash from members and ministers and leaders. Nobody can understand that experience if they have not gone through it. It does not matter what sector of life - business, politics, religion - if corruption is exposed, backlash commences. The backlash is commensurate with the light exposing the corruption and potential problems it will cause for the corrupted.
Dr. Peter McCullough, world-renowned heart specialist, found it out when he took a stand against the mRNA gene therapy injections. He was descended upon, and here, in Texas, some went after him with enough vitriol to try and take his medical license away.
Dr. Robert Malone, who has patents on the mRNA technology, spoke out and became a target from every conceivable direction when he began to speak out. Both gained huge exposure on Joe Rogan's podcast and Rogan became a target. Whistleblowers spoke out and lost jobs. Doctors taking stands from the very outset of information developing just about the way things were being handled in hospitals, men and women beloved in their communities, became instant pariahs, to their shock and utter amazement.
Now, Dr. Joseph Lapado, Florida's surgeon general, has spoken out, based on a peer reviewed study, that young men should not receive the injections because of high dangers of heart problems. Instantly, his career is called into question. Governor DeSantis, who placed him in the office, is once more, 24/7, demonized by the Leftist cabal. Lapado seems as decent a man as one could meet. Doesn't matter. Speak out, get hung out.
Unless you have been the target of corruption's backlash you just do not get it. You can read about it. You can see it happen to others and sympathize but, when it happens to you, it is the difference between seeing an earthquake on the news and being in an earthquake and everything is falling down around you and on top of you. You ask how can it be happening? You are just speaking the truth based on indisputable facts. Why would people viciously attack you? Simply because you are a threat. Nothing more. A social threat. A career threat. A monetary threat. A threat to laid out plans. A threat to control freaks and the power hungry.
Trump, for all his issues and problems became the biggest threat the cabal ever faced and hence, non-stop accusations, interference, vilification unseen in American history and it is still happening now, over a year and a half removed from the White House, which he should be occupying, were it not for the criminal activity that took place by the Democrat Party and their minions.
Every single citizen of every single nation has an obligation to so how take a stand against corruption which threatens a nation. Well, blowback can be quick and decisive and people can be crushed and then choose to stay quiet and just try to deal with it, day in, day out. Some can no longer take it and speak out and come what may, hold on for dear life as the mountain collapses on top of them, an avalanche of hatred and even physical danger.
The prophets spoke out and were thrown in dungeons, pits, persecuted and killed. Christ spoke out and was chased out of towns and ultimately killed. The disciples spoke out and were jailed, driven out, persecuted, stoned, and killed in various, unspeakable ways. Christians have spoken out for centuries and all fell under the principle of good versus evil - "All they that live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution."
The Covid event is no different than any other outbreak, right? Wrong. It was engineered, planned, executed and continues to wreak havoc, even in nations that have basically said, 'We're done. We're moving on.' How can a nation move on when their citizens are dying at alarming rates and suffering harm from injections they were told were safe, were absolutely necessary and you are not a true patriot or loving person if you do not get your shots. 200,000,000 Americans have been injected. Will they all suffer consequences? Nobody knows. We can only watch and see just how devastating the fallout is.
Those who are speaking out, withstanding the constant storms of opposition, are to be commended with the highest praise. They are true heroes, while Marvel is releasing a comic book of fake heroes imploring all to get their injections. Going on three years into this and that kind of move is not ignorance. It is complicity.
The pure evil of this event is worse than anything in history, save for the crucifixion of Christ. Based on all the documentation put out there the only conclusion that can logically be drawn is that this is murder, plain and simple. It is anything BUT, medicine. It is murder. Rise up and speak out, you will experience something you have to experience to truly understand.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

667. What Do You Really Want? - October 14, 2022
If you ask that question of average people you will generally get - Love, Enough money to live comfortably, Peace for themselves and the world. Those are three givens for answers. Ask yourself, right now, do you have any of that? I doubt it.
Peace is something elusive for most people because of stress, and stress is a given in our society, our current civilization getting more and more uncivil every year. Peace, from a societal viewpoint, seems impossible, as crime rates soar, as disenfranchised youth just burst with anger at everything and everyone. I see it every, single day in the news. When was the last time you saw a headline stating two fathers shot each other's daughters in a road rage incident? I never have seen such a headline ever.
The world stands at the precipice of World War 3. All eyes are on Putin when they really should be on NATO and the warmongers in the U.S. Congress. The military industrial complex thrives on war so, America is always at war somewhere in the world. Always. So says American history. For those fools who think they have enough provisions to survive underground for a decade, do they think they will emerge from their bunkers to some overgrown jungle paradise they can set out to tame and start over again? Nuclear war is the end of Earth. Thousands of warheads means destruction of everything. Not even the African continent would survive because of nuclear fallout.
Peace, from a standpoint of personal wellness, is something generally associated with faith in Deity. Even Jesus said, on Earth you'll have turmoil but, walk the walk and keep the faith and God will make it up to His people when eternity arrives. And one of the last deceptions of the Devil will be to arrange world affairs so a cry of Peace and safety goes out, then sudden destruction comes. At Christmas time people sing about peace on Earth good will to men while Black Friday shoppers act like animals trying to get a scrap of food to survive.
I spent the entire day on the phone with reps from our soon to be dropped insurance company that has thrown a monkey wrench into our lives and is going to cost us money. Us being customers means nothing to a multinational corporation. The world is now run, not by governments but, by multinational corporations with far more power than any group of politicians have. Peace, for them, is control over the world. Peace, for me, is most times more a concept, and idea than a reality. It's the same for all believers. We have a peace that passes all understanding but, it is tested daily, sorely, at times, and the bumps and bruises of life are no picnic.
Money. Right now, powers in control do not want people to have enough money to be comfortable. They need people in stress willing to look to them for help, dependence, controlled like the vermin they see humanity as. Speak out against it and you enter the crushing zone, the destruction arena. Maybe even you will be sued for a billion dollars because you hurt some people's feelings for reporting on very strange and odd occurrences at a school shooting.
The controllers are about to change the entire money system. In doing so, the haves will increase their wealth and the have-nots will decrease what little they have. Going after money, as necessary as it is for survival in the modern world (remember almost all societies were agricultural and people fended for themselves off the land for millennia), the chances of you having enough money to be comfortable, as one defines it, grows more and more impossible. War will decrease that, for you, while it increases wealth for those fomenting war. And we know these lunatics want war. The logical thing to do is seek peace any way you can. No. Putin is the devil and he must be defeated so, billions in money and arms must continually go to Ukraine, one of the most corrupt nations in the world, so it can hold its own against Russia. It will never defeat Russia. It just needs to deplete Russia and weaken its entire economy fighting this stupid war. Well, stupid for us, not stupid for those being persecuted by Ukraine in its southeast corner that got this whole thing going to begin with.
So, wanting enough money to be comfortable grows more and more elusive by the day. Forget about it? Probably.
Love. The Rom-Com industry thrives on the search for true love, happy endings; you, too, can find it. Maybe, maybe not. The thing is, God is love. The Bible states that position. God is love. Few people in the human family, even professed believers contemplate the massive implications of that biblical truth. Most people think God loves people. I am loved by God. You are loved by God and despite circumstances that make it seem God could not care less about us, we do not have the vantage point God has, and we create constant problems for ourselves because we live and move in life outside of God's stated will, and His hidden will, that emerges when things line up as He desires and wants us to see and realize. But, that is not the full picture. God loves because He is love. I am human. God is Deity, the only Deity. I am human, and I love. God is Deity and IS love. That is lost on billions of people trying to survive in this insane world but, to understand it means so much that is intrinsic to surviving in the insanity that is life on Earth.
God IS love. When you contemplate that, when you realize it and believe it, you begin to see everything in daily life a lot differently. NOTHING is God's fault. We mess up, constantly. God never makes a mistake. Few of us in the faith ever put 100% of our lives in God's care, even true believers because it is scary as hell to do so.
A stray cat had kittens on our property. She moved them to neighbors twice and ended up back on our property. There were five. One died, one disappeared and 19 weeks later, I love three kittens, built a condo for them, play with them, cuddle them, mean them no harm and yet they are still afraid when I walk out the door and scamper away. They just do not have full trust in me yet even though, when I pick them up, their engines just instantly start rumbling. I am not love. I am a sinner but, my heart is touched by their smallness, their need, their cuteness (of course), and my understanding if they are planting themselves on my back patio I need to take care of them.
Oh, sure, I could have put a sign out - Free Kittens - and given them away. Thought about it numerous times. From no cats to three cats, growing fast... with pet food skyrocketing in price? Already cost us a couple hundred dollars for a spay surgery. Two males to go? Give them away while the givin' is good! But, nope. Can't do it. My wife says I'm a mush. Probably so.
God is love and looks at us as children, needing. Children that rarely grow up. Adults, as we call them, remain adolescents in God's eyes; foolish youth who never seem to get it right. Jesus, the Creator of the universe, came here to show us the way, the truth, and the life. And you ask yourself, If Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, how could I ever be happy? He had no love-life, no money, no peace. He was hounded, hunted, marginalized, and finally killed. THAT is the life I am supposed to choose to find and experience happiness? Are you serious? Surely, you jest.
No. No jesting. The issue is character. Building a character safe for the existence in Heaven and its inhabitants. That requires, unfortunately, a lot of hassles through life. How to make it something that makes sense? It is the opposite of everything humanity strives for. Well, it all hinges and swings on the fact that God is love. God offers Himself, for fellowship, for guidance, direction and meaning and the war of life can only mean something if something comes after and beyond it and prophecy makes it plain what was predicted and has happened means it will happen, and that means everything God has told us awaits for the redeemed who trust Him and it will be more than worth the war of life for three score and ten. Eternity will be more than worth it by millions, billions, trillions of times.
The world wonders who will be the first trillionaire. The fact is, God's people are already trillionaires, children of promise, awaiting promises that shall come some day because God is love and can be trusted! The only way to believe that is to experience God. Get to know God. Life will dramatically change. Trust me. My life is a mess. I have made it that way, not God. My choices cause things. Dominoes fall. Why do I continue to believe? Prophecy. The Bible is true so, I hang on. By God's grace I'll make it through those gates and finally have eternal love, peace, and want for nothing, forever.
Of course it seems a fairytale. Our lives are saturated with media that defines life in false and ridiculous ways. Every crisis is solved in 30 to 90 minutes, two hours, tops. "Beautiful" people tell us what to wear, what to eat, how to live, who to trust, etc., etc. Of course the Bible seems like nonsense. Our reality is warped.
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. He offers to prove Him, to prove the Father, to experience something of the joys of eternal life, in this life; tastes of it. I look at those kittens and see me before God. Almost incredibly helpless to get out of my own way, constant daily stress of what life is. Not knowing what the next day brings. One stroke down. More to come? Heart attack? Who knows? God knows. I am sure not going to trust Washington, D.C. to make anything right. Hollywood cannot do it. NATO can not do it and certainly not the U.N. The leagues of sports cannot possibly do it. Banks? They are the problem. The love of money is the root of all evil. There is no earthly solution to life on Earth. It is not under our control. None of it. No human or group of humans controls the world. Satan controls the world and God intervenes on behalf of His children when times warrant it. Satan fights. God wins. He already won when Jesus died and rose from the grave. Now, it is a matter of time for a people to truly know, that they know, God is love. When the character of a remnant is made Christlike, Christ will come and end this debacle called Earth, ready to perish and go silent, at least, for a thousand years. Then the big end comes. I want to be there. I hope you will be, too.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Peace is something elusive for most people because of stress, and stress is a given in our society, our current civilization getting more and more uncivil every year. Peace, from a societal viewpoint, seems impossible, as crime rates soar, as disenfranchised youth just burst with anger at everything and everyone. I see it every, single day in the news. When was the last time you saw a headline stating two fathers shot each other's daughters in a road rage incident? I never have seen such a headline ever.
The world stands at the precipice of World War 3. All eyes are on Putin when they really should be on NATO and the warmongers in the U.S. Congress. The military industrial complex thrives on war so, America is always at war somewhere in the world. Always. So says American history. For those fools who think they have enough provisions to survive underground for a decade, do they think they will emerge from their bunkers to some overgrown jungle paradise they can set out to tame and start over again? Nuclear war is the end of Earth. Thousands of warheads means destruction of everything. Not even the African continent would survive because of nuclear fallout.
Peace, from a standpoint of personal wellness, is something generally associated with faith in Deity. Even Jesus said, on Earth you'll have turmoil but, walk the walk and keep the faith and God will make it up to His people when eternity arrives. And one of the last deceptions of the Devil will be to arrange world affairs so a cry of Peace and safety goes out, then sudden destruction comes. At Christmas time people sing about peace on Earth good will to men while Black Friday shoppers act like animals trying to get a scrap of food to survive.
I spent the entire day on the phone with reps from our soon to be dropped insurance company that has thrown a monkey wrench into our lives and is going to cost us money. Us being customers means nothing to a multinational corporation. The world is now run, not by governments but, by multinational corporations with far more power than any group of politicians have. Peace, for them, is control over the world. Peace, for me, is most times more a concept, and idea than a reality. It's the same for all believers. We have a peace that passes all understanding but, it is tested daily, sorely, at times, and the bumps and bruises of life are no picnic.
Money. Right now, powers in control do not want people to have enough money to be comfortable. They need people in stress willing to look to them for help, dependence, controlled like the vermin they see humanity as. Speak out against it and you enter the crushing zone, the destruction arena. Maybe even you will be sued for a billion dollars because you hurt some people's feelings for reporting on very strange and odd occurrences at a school shooting.
The controllers are about to change the entire money system. In doing so, the haves will increase their wealth and the have-nots will decrease what little they have. Going after money, as necessary as it is for survival in the modern world (remember almost all societies were agricultural and people fended for themselves off the land for millennia), the chances of you having enough money to be comfortable, as one defines it, grows more and more impossible. War will decrease that, for you, while it increases wealth for those fomenting war. And we know these lunatics want war. The logical thing to do is seek peace any way you can. No. Putin is the devil and he must be defeated so, billions in money and arms must continually go to Ukraine, one of the most corrupt nations in the world, so it can hold its own against Russia. It will never defeat Russia. It just needs to deplete Russia and weaken its entire economy fighting this stupid war. Well, stupid for us, not stupid for those being persecuted by Ukraine in its southeast corner that got this whole thing going to begin with.
So, wanting enough money to be comfortable grows more and more elusive by the day. Forget about it? Probably.
Love. The Rom-Com industry thrives on the search for true love, happy endings; you, too, can find it. Maybe, maybe not. The thing is, God is love. The Bible states that position. God is love. Few people in the human family, even professed believers contemplate the massive implications of that biblical truth. Most people think God loves people. I am loved by God. You are loved by God and despite circumstances that make it seem God could not care less about us, we do not have the vantage point God has, and we create constant problems for ourselves because we live and move in life outside of God's stated will, and His hidden will, that emerges when things line up as He desires and wants us to see and realize. But, that is not the full picture. God loves because He is love. I am human. God is Deity, the only Deity. I am human, and I love. God is Deity and IS love. That is lost on billions of people trying to survive in this insane world but, to understand it means so much that is intrinsic to surviving in the insanity that is life on Earth.
God IS love. When you contemplate that, when you realize it and believe it, you begin to see everything in daily life a lot differently. NOTHING is God's fault. We mess up, constantly. God never makes a mistake. Few of us in the faith ever put 100% of our lives in God's care, even true believers because it is scary as hell to do so.
A stray cat had kittens on our property. She moved them to neighbors twice and ended up back on our property. There were five. One died, one disappeared and 19 weeks later, I love three kittens, built a condo for them, play with them, cuddle them, mean them no harm and yet they are still afraid when I walk out the door and scamper away. They just do not have full trust in me yet even though, when I pick them up, their engines just instantly start rumbling. I am not love. I am a sinner but, my heart is touched by their smallness, their need, their cuteness (of course), and my understanding if they are planting themselves on my back patio I need to take care of them.
Oh, sure, I could have put a sign out - Free Kittens - and given them away. Thought about it numerous times. From no cats to three cats, growing fast... with pet food skyrocketing in price? Already cost us a couple hundred dollars for a spay surgery. Two males to go? Give them away while the givin' is good! But, nope. Can't do it. My wife says I'm a mush. Probably so.
God is love and looks at us as children, needing. Children that rarely grow up. Adults, as we call them, remain adolescents in God's eyes; foolish youth who never seem to get it right. Jesus, the Creator of the universe, came here to show us the way, the truth, and the life. And you ask yourself, If Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, how could I ever be happy? He had no love-life, no money, no peace. He was hounded, hunted, marginalized, and finally killed. THAT is the life I am supposed to choose to find and experience happiness? Are you serious? Surely, you jest.
No. No jesting. The issue is character. Building a character safe for the existence in Heaven and its inhabitants. That requires, unfortunately, a lot of hassles through life. How to make it something that makes sense? It is the opposite of everything humanity strives for. Well, it all hinges and swings on the fact that God is love. God offers Himself, for fellowship, for guidance, direction and meaning and the war of life can only mean something if something comes after and beyond it and prophecy makes it plain what was predicted and has happened means it will happen, and that means everything God has told us awaits for the redeemed who trust Him and it will be more than worth the war of life for three score and ten. Eternity will be more than worth it by millions, billions, trillions of times.
The world wonders who will be the first trillionaire. The fact is, God's people are already trillionaires, children of promise, awaiting promises that shall come some day because God is love and can be trusted! The only way to believe that is to experience God. Get to know God. Life will dramatically change. Trust me. My life is a mess. I have made it that way, not God. My choices cause things. Dominoes fall. Why do I continue to believe? Prophecy. The Bible is true so, I hang on. By God's grace I'll make it through those gates and finally have eternal love, peace, and want for nothing, forever.
Of course it seems a fairytale. Our lives are saturated with media that defines life in false and ridiculous ways. Every crisis is solved in 30 to 90 minutes, two hours, tops. "Beautiful" people tell us what to wear, what to eat, how to live, who to trust, etc., etc. Of course the Bible seems like nonsense. Our reality is warped.
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. He offers to prove Him, to prove the Father, to experience something of the joys of eternal life, in this life; tastes of it. I look at those kittens and see me before God. Almost incredibly helpless to get out of my own way, constant daily stress of what life is. Not knowing what the next day brings. One stroke down. More to come? Heart attack? Who knows? God knows. I am sure not going to trust Washington, D.C. to make anything right. Hollywood cannot do it. NATO can not do it and certainly not the U.N. The leagues of sports cannot possibly do it. Banks? They are the problem. The love of money is the root of all evil. There is no earthly solution to life on Earth. It is not under our control.

Tulsi Pulls the Trigger
I've written about Tulsi Gabbard before, when I first heard of her and checked out her political site when she decided to run for POTUS on the Democrat Party ticket. She seemed the only common sense Democrat in the nation. She is still a rather big government, nanny state-kind of Democrat but, that has been in a series of events that seemingly has changed her political philosophy. She is now more Republican than many GOP members of Congress and in statewide and local seats of responsibility.
She reached the point she had to say goodbye to the Party because it left her. I have heard the same from many former Republicans, including people like Sean Hannity. The Party left them. They all became Independents. I am a registered Independent. I'd never belong to any political party and its platform. The closest I'd get is the Constitution Party.
Tulsi is not likely to join the GOP. They are as guilty of many of the things that caused her departure from the Dems.
I have mentioned before, and I waffle on it because politicians are politicians. There are few, if any statesmen anymore. That said, Trump and Tulsi as VP would make for a very powerful ticket. Of course, we never can know exactly how these people will deal with their oaths of office to protect the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic.
I see Gabbard as pretty sincere. Time will tell what develops for her. I wish her well, that's for sure. If you have not watched her statement, check it out:

668. Scientific Fact on Origins of Life? - October 15, 2022
Once again news is flying around that scientists have discovered how life came into being, in a chemical way. True? Hyped? Lies?
https://futurism.com/scientists-discovered-secret-ingredient-life
One of the things I have learned over the years is to check sources. Headlines are not necessarily accurate. They just reflect what reporters are told by whoever: scientists, politicians, reps, take your pick. Things can be further hyped by headlines, creating bigger problems for truth to actually gain ascendency. Nowadays, just call it a conspiracy theory in a headline, call it misinformation, disinformation, attack the messenger and instantly, for millions, the article becomes a non-starter, even if the article contains solid information that defies the headline.
When I saw the above site and headline I had to check it out. In checking it out I found this:
"A team of researchers from Purdue University claim to have discovered the "chemistry behind the origin of life" on Earth in simple droplets of water, and they're using strikingly strong language to celebrate the findings.
Graham Cooks, chemistry professor at Purdue and lead author of a new paper published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, called it a "dramatic discovery" and the "secret ingredient for building life" in a statement.
"This is essentially the chemistry behind the origin of life," he added. "This is the first demonstration that primordial molecules, simple amino acids, spontaneously form peptides, the building blocks of life, in droplets of pure water."
Pure water? What pure water existed in the typical primordial Earth? No one even knows how water developed on Earth. The general consensus seems to be that an asteroid covered with ice struck the Earth and brought water. That is not science. That is story telling. And if an asteroid crashed into Earth, with melted ice water, it would hardly be pure. It would have been anything but, pure.
Read on:
"To me, the evidence seems to be growing that there is something really quite unique and extraordinary about the chemistry at or within small water droplet surfaces," he added.
In simple terms, the research supports the decades-old theory that life on Earth started in oceans. Amino acids, which scientists believe came to Earth billions of years ago via meteorite showers, can bond together to form peptides, which have long been considered the building blocks of proteins, and eventually life itself.
But what has confounded scientists is the fact that this process requires both aqueous and non-aqueous environments. Now, using state-0f-the-art spectrometers to get a close look at chemical reactions inside water droplets, Cooks and his colleagues found that "extremely quick reactions can take place" where water droplets meet the atmosphere.
That conclusion could explain how life thrived where the sea meets the land, or where fresh water crosses fertile landscapes."
"Seems," "believe," "eventually," "could explain." Not, does explain. Could explain. Then the entire state-of-the-art equipment found in labs. There was no state of the art anything in a prebiotic, primordial Earth.
"We all know water was and is essential to life on Earth," Doucette told Futurism. "But we still have a lot to learn."
Indeed. Some would say they have almost everything to learn because what they factually know is not close to understanding the origins of life.
These scientists and laboratories are filled with purchased, pure chemicals they work with. Some like to say they are "hands off" labs, meaning they do not interfere with natural processes as with "hands on" labs. They can say that but, far too often, if not always, the arduous tasks of obtaining chemicals from scratch is never 100%. It's far too time consuming and complicated.
Making a living cell has not been done. Even if it could be done in a modern laboratory that remains a far cry from what supposedly happened by accident in a primordial, chemical soup.
To date, science remains completely at a loss to explain the emergence of life from non-biological sources. They can tell tall tales but, they have no factual process. They claim it but, just read and you see the holes. You see the conjecture and hype. And sadly, even lies.
One of the cool things about watching a James Tour presentation is his passion for science. I've learned a lot. He does not religiously evangelize for his beliefs. He scientifically evangelizes for his positions. I waited to comment on the above article to see if any creationist sites I frequent would comment on it. I didn't see any but, just watched the most recent Tour presentation on it. He is not a creationist. He begins by saying he's locked and loaded. From there, it's a bomb blast upon these types of headlines.
Exactly what have scientists discovered to date? More importantly, what have they not discovered yet? Tour explains in as powerful a way as can be done.

Babylon. It's Just There and Growing.
Spiritual, prophetic Babylon. Mother Rome, harlot daughters, kings of the Earth all creating a thick bowl of chowder of religious confusion. As time rolls along, the confusion gets worse, deeper, influential and more controlling.
The Methodist Church, that strain of theological truth brought out of dark ages by John Wesley and his brother, Charles, the awesome hymn writer, while still in a position to learn and grow in truth more, began a collapse long ago and today is but a faint shadow of its former self, as congregation after congregation leave its ranks to practice their faith as things used to be. The Methodist Church is in crisis. What are they thinking? Seemingly, that everybody is okay. The Word of God means little to nothing. All are welcome to stay as they are, not change under the influence of the Word and the Holy Spirit through conversion, being born again, and following Christ wherever He leads. You can be sure, chisel it in granite, Jesus does not lead people back into the world He is leading them away from.
Rom 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
There are multiple sermons in just those two verses but, the principle is obvious. Well, those same verses are mentioned in the story linked to, to endorse transgenderism and drag queen life and how the whole world needs to change to meet their chosen decisions on how to live it, contrary to the Word of God.
Another story of the perversions of a collapsing world under ever more growing spiritual darkness. The confusion of cross dressing, drag queen life, brought into the precincts of the kirke [church], the physical place of communion with others of like faith. The Bible and its principles turned on its head, twisted, distorted by distorted minds. And the constantly driven aspect of involving and impacting children with these runs into darkness is an open abomination. In this case, a drag queen giving the children's sermon, a common portion of the service in many churches and denominations gathered for corporate worship.
https://www.christianpost.com/news/drag-queen-leads-childrens-sermon-at-united-methodist-church.html
Satan has modes of darkness for each and every one of us. Slight variances from truth that retard the process of sanctification, character development and Christlikeness. We are sanctified by truth, John 17:17. We cannot be sanctified by error, for the church, the body of Christ, is the pillar and ground, the support of truth on the Earth, 1 Tim. 3:15. It doesn't take much for the adversary of souls to derail us into walking train wrecks. The Methodist Church has gone off the tracks. If John Wesley were alive to see it, one could hardly imagine his outrage; not because of the times he lived in but, because of the denial of a Thus Saith the Lord. Even if someone sees all Old Testament literature as relieved of duty over God's people, you still have this mandate which deals with the exact situation, being ignored from church to church, as though no principle was ever involved in God giving this instruction for His people:
Deut 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
Seems plain enough, no? Think you that God saw such as an abomination and somewhere along the line the life, death, resurrection and ministry of Christ in the Heavenly Sanctuary on behalf of His people changed the principles behind that mandate and instruction? Tell me. How?
Society decides what differences exist between men's and women's clothing by virtue of feminine form, masculine form, aspects of modesty, activity and work, etc. Do not cross the lines. It has been that way for thousands of years in all cultures and civilizations. Well, living in the era of "unisex," gender dysphoria, the sexualization of females and even children, or the masculinizing of females and the femininizing of males, and all the rest, things have gotten rather confusing, haven't they?
BABYLON.
Even so, come Lord Jesus.

J. Warner Wallace
I believe I have mentioned J. Warner Wallace before. He's a cold crime/case detective, become a Christian and written on the process of crime solving applying it to the life and ministry of Christ in the Gospels and His existence and influence outside the Bible, which his new book addresses.
"Person of Interest" seems a phenomenal book I'll be purchasing, after watching this interview. Mind-blowing research and conclusions.

R.I.P. Alan White
I just came upon the news that Alan White, mainly known as the drumist with YES, passed away after an illness. He was 72.
YES was one of my favorite bands when I was young. Even today, their music holds up well to a test of time and after White took the drummer's chair when Bill Bruford left the band, the music became more spread out and funky, with his wide-open style. I spent many hours playing along to Yessongs, the 3-LP Live album. His work on Relayer was a real challenge for me back then. Brilliant playing.
I saw YES a few times, both with Bruford and White and a memorable concert was the Topographic Oceans tour, and the huge beetle wings above Alan's set, filled with light, that opened and closed at various moments throughout the concert. It solidified the idea I had to have a dragon's head surround my set with Legend. Never came to that, of course but, a lot about Alan's approach to playing went into my own.
Alan was also an accomplished pianist and composer. He was a true English gentleman, as well.
Another major loss in the world of music.
RIP Mr. Alan White.

669. How Bad Must Things Get? - October 20, 2022
I have been a professed Christian for over 43 years now. The things that caught my immediate interest in the beginning were the signs of Christ's return; prophetic predictions that matched both calendar and event driven scenarios. That aspect of the faith remains the motivator to keep on marching through the mud of life.
When people ask, "How soon is it?" there can be no definitive answer. Some will say, This generation or, In my lifetime or, In your lifetime but, in reality it is all speculation. Nobody knows the day or the hour, Matt. 24:36. Nobody knows the year, either. We can only judge by signs of the times that it draws near, that it's close, that it approaches ever stealthily and when it happens it will surprise most of the planet's inhabitants. It will happen unexpectedly, like a "thief in the night." The thief approaches quietly, silently moving closer to the building, gets inside, and only by God's grace, something happens to awake those who sleep, in the surprise of the event, and address the circumstances. Everybody sleeps. Jesus said so in the parable of the ten virgins. Five awoke when the sound of the announcement of the arrival of the master was made. They had the oil to trim their lamps and went out to meet him, while five made no decent preparation and were left behind.
The issue is not anything secret, as we have seen in prior posts and studies. The issue is the event is an unexpected surprise; a shock and bewilderment.
I have spent 43 years watching the signs of our times. Some very specific things have taken place, are taking place and will yet take place. Christ is not returning tomorrow. Not next year. If you think you can mess around because of that, you'd make a colossal mistake. Spiritual preparation (enough oil in your lamp), does not take place overnight, either.
We can know the event of the ages is approaching. Beyond that, those who make predictions for times will only be disappointed, every time they do it. I have been one of those. I was positive He'd return within the first five years of my experience. Certainly by the year 2000. Them the reality of it all hit me and I have watched the ebb and flow of humanity since then, realizing just how empty it is to predict time.
Consider. In Noah's day, which is used often to show what the final world will be like before its end, we read succinct descriptions:
Gen 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Are we there yet? No. The thoughts of mankind, most of mankind, are not evil continually. That time will arrive but, it obviously is not yet. Entire national populations are rising up to make things right, just, fair, honorable and such. Their attitude is not to tear down but, build up. Well, tear down corruption and build up what is right. Assuredly, those numbers, nation to nation seems to be dwindling.
In America, rogues control the nation and the coming election backlash is building to an incredible defeat for those in power, tearing down everything that makes America the place the world wants to get to. Now, people want to get here for handouts, not the freedom and liberty to make a life based on personal responsibility and ingenuity and hard work. The very backlash building stands against the scene in Noah's day. If election fraud runs desperately rampant, well, we are weeks away from seeing what happens. Yet, that day of Noah is coming. The world's population will take a determined stand against the law of God, the moral law, the royal law of liberty. It doesn't need to be an era of "the Purge," though the possible reality of that scenario seems ever closer the way things are in major cities throughout the nation. Criminal activity is through the roof. Nothing is being done to stop it. I mean, let's face facts. People who protest abortion are being arrested while dozens of clinics that stand for life and how to address pregnancy without killing the baby have been burnt down and no apparent efforts by law enforcement are being made to find the perpetrators. That tells a huge story.
Still, the final character of a lost populace has not been made up, nor has the Christlike character of a people ready for translation to Heaven when Jesus returns.
Gen 6:11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
Gen 6:12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
There is plenty of violence and corruption to be seen every day in this world. Still, it is not "filled" with violence. The cup is filling up, no doubt. Not a week goes by that a headline of some senior citizen being beat up by roving gangs or violent criminal elements cannot be read. Granted though, let it be seen these stories are from major cities, not rural areas. Rural areas now have their problems with drugs and crime, just like the big cities but, these areas are not filled. They will be but, it's not there yet.
One of the major signs of the times, taken from Genesis 19, the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, is the extensive growth of the acceptance of homosexuality and other sexual perversions. Across the national and international boards? No. Not yet. The entire city of Sodom was given over to homosexual perversity. Our modern era grows ever closer to that but, the end is not yet. It was not just the sexual perversion but, the intended and threatening violence that went along with it. 'Act Up' was a fairly violent homosexual group. I have not seen much of them since the 80's and early 90's, though.
The signs Jesus gave, recorded in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21, as well as other places, are all here in varying degrees but, not yet to the degree such as it was in the days of Noah.
One of the signs we often miss is growth and expansion. That is now worldwide. The growth and expansion of cities, called "sprawl," is a major concern. You wouldn't think Christ would make such a thing a sign of modern times but, He did -
Luke 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
Luke 17:27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
Luke 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
Luke 17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
Luke 17:30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
Some will comment that Christ is just saying things were going on in their normal, daily routines when sudden destruction came. Well, no doubt sudden destruction is coming, 1 Thes. 5:1-3 but, with it is excess. An excess worthy of comment. In verse 27 we see "they married wives," which was shown to be the case as an excess in Noah's day, Gen. 6:1,2. It was a corruption that brought about the end of the world then and shall now. Not only a weakening of the marriage vows but, more than that, the sons of God, God's people, joining to the daughters of men, those with no true connection to God, unbelievers. It corrupted the faith and was a prominent sign leading to the catastrophe to follow.
If we take it in that tone, each thing Christ uses for a description of the times, means sinful excess. Eating. Obesity is epidemic in many western nations but, especially America. Drunkenness is epidemic, especially among the youth of this world, where a party is only a party if booze is involved. The same goes for "adult" parties, as well.
In Lot's time, Jesus said they bought and sold. It and the cities of the plain were busy places. In no time in human history has buying and selling been like it is today. Consistent millionaires and billionaires have been made through it all. The national and international stock markets are a phenomena of modern times.
They planted and built. At one time, for millennia, family farming provided nutrition for each owner or renter of land. Today, farms stretch for miles. Entire states in the mid-section of America are devoted to farming: the breadbasket of the world but, as we have seen because of the Ukraine war, that nation is a surprising producer of wheat, as is Russia. Areas of Europe and Russia and elsewhere in Asia are solely devoted to farming to feed a world caught up in building, and buying and selling. Living here, in Texas, I have seen unending building and construction projects, and constant road projects, and it is like that all over. China has ghost cities. Six of seven continents are seeing this expansion and sprawl of cities. It is predicted 80% or more of the planet's population will live in cities. It is even a portion of the UN's Agendas 21 and 30. People in cities are much easier to control then people spread out. So, the building and expansion, unprecedented, must take place.
Crime grows with it. Hardships grow with that, despite the seeming convenience of having everything one could want in the city. The one thing you cannot have is silence and peace. If you want that, you have to leave the cities. Yet growth, spoken of by Jesus, is everywhere, even small towns. It's such an issue, Hallmark and other networks make movie after movie around that theme: the destruction and saving of small-town America, generally through some kind of compromise. I have no idea just how thorough that sign needs to be to be called something that has filled the Earth. It's obviously happening and nobody with eyes and proximity to cities and towns can miss it.
All of this is stated to show the return of Christ is coming. War is not as prevalent as it was in the beginning and middle 20th century. That said, "rumors" of WW3 are ever present now; nuclear war, and there can be no such thing as a small nuclear war. If it happens in Ukraine, the world's hotspot, it will rapidly turn into a planetary nightmare of unimaginable proportions. It is desired by lunatic minds. I am going on 68 years old. I do not believe there has been a year of my life that America has not been at war somewhere on the globe. The military industrial complex and world banksters have made sure of that and will continue to do so. Wars and rumors of wars is definitely here but, even Jesus said, "The end is not yet."
How bad must things get? Worse than they are. And they will get there.
Professed believers do not realize it all hinges on them. Their preparation to meet Christ in peace and triumph is what ignites Satan's efforts to deceive the world and see it destroyed. It is as Jesus said, Signs follow believers, not, believers should follow after signs, Mark 16:17. As believers get about their Father's business, Luke 2:49, Satan increases his. Otherwise, knowing he "has but a short time" the Devil and his hordes can just take it easy and allow the growth of evil to gradually increase. No rush. Still, it is like that coin in the funnel. It picks up speed because of the shape of its containment. The same will take place in the world. Various natural and man-made disasters can change things very quickly. In lands of plenty, food shortages and potential starvation can change a society very quickly. What will happen in Europe this Winter because of gas shortages from Russia? It remains to be seen but, no one will be surprised to see uprising brought about by the corrupt elites and their desire to reduce and control humanity.
We are now seeing pollution being blamed for the rising deaths of children and youth. A ruse such as that should have no weight of effect upon an informed populace who know the plandemic injection serums are causing it. And now we see admission by a Boston University lab, funded apparently by Fauci's NIH, has been working on another strain of Covid which has an 80% kill rate in lab rats.

https://www.redvoicemedia.com/video/2022/10/stew-peters-college-creates-80-deadly-virus-pastor-sounds-alarm-were-in-the-middle-of-a-tribulation/
The continuous evil of the elites is disgustingly obvious. Its growth in the world's populace will take place, man against man in ways never seen before, as far as numbers go.
No, we are not in the prophetic "tribulation." That is the current cry in evangelical circles but, once again, ALL the marks of prophecy have to be met when identifying prophetic characters. The Papacy is the antichrist and Revelation's "Beast" of chapter 13, etc., and Daniel's "little horn" of chapter 7, for that reason.
Still, check out this editorial I read the other day:
Government Agencies Arming Up Are a Cautionary Sign of Things to Come - America Out Loud
It's a very sobering reality. There is no doubt things are far darker then previous times in America but, the worst is yet to come.
I freely admit I am tired, worn out and fading fast in the march of the soldier of faith. Youthful exuberance is past. Sunset draws ever closer. Will I be alive to see the return of Jesus? I don't know. Maybe. Hopefully. I reckon my girls will be alive. The final events will be rapid ones. The coin in the funnel shows the increase in speed because of the design of the funnel. Both God and Satan have designs at work. All of it will increase the speed of things happening. It cannot come soon enough for me.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
When people ask, "How soon is it?" there can be no definitive answer. Some will say, This generation or, In my lifetime or, In your lifetime but, in reality it is all speculation.

670. What Church Should I Go To? - October 23, 2022
This is a long one. It could be much longer. It could easily be a book.
I cannot tell you how many times I have been asked that question. My life developed its own set of circumstances that caused me to ask the question.
The query is an important one. The impact of an answer upon one's life can be inestimable. The estimation of both a positive and negative experience can make the difference between a triumphant success or abysmal failure of journey that can have eternal consequences.
First principle to consider, and possibly the only important one to truly take to heart and mind, well, it's a collection of principles:
1Tim 3:15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
1Tim 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
1. The "house of God," the church of God, holds up and supports the truth.
Let's unpack some things. The household of faith is meant to conjure up an image of a family. No family is perfect because people are not perfect. We make mistakes, all kinds of them, and worse, we sin. People can hurt people and do, unintentionally, and in some cases, intentionally, even in the household of faith. I am reminded, aside from ants, humans are the only species that will attack and kill its kind, en masse. Made in the image and likeness of God, fallen humans can be brutal to each other. It's an important point to keep in mind because if someone is looking for the perfect church, as soon as you join it, it's no longer perfect. Capisce?
The household of faith, the household of God is mentioned twice in the NT:
Gal 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Eph 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
Eph 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
Eph 2:21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
Eph 2:22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
I have been a carpenter, by trade. My father liked to make things. I watched, and while I had no interest in such things when a young boy, I learned, and learned more and still learn, and have forgotten most of it because I don't use it enough. You have to keep using what you learn or it gets lost in the shuffles of life.
God is trying to build a human temple, called His body, the body of Christ, who is the Head of the church. NO OTHER is or can be. No pope, no person of any man-made level of clergy, no man is or can be the head of Christ's body, the church; the "ecclesia;" those "called out." Christians are called to follow Christ, called out of the world, to stand separated from it's negative influences, as God defines that, not human clergy. The WORD, God's Word, is the only rule of faith, practice, and discipline for the member, the citizen of God's household and kingdom.
2Tim 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
2Tim 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2Tim 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Nothing more is needed by the believer. The Bible's living power has what it takes to make a person complete in Christ, by faith. The gifts of the Spirit are given to the church to always send them back into the Word for their life and their purpose and actions in life.
Every believer has a place, is a stone in the temple God seeks to build. Just as the body has parts, millions, trillions of them, so the body of Christ has a part any and all believers will occupy. Hands are not feet. The heart is not the lungs. The knees are not the elbows, etc. Each plays a role, has a part in the function of a body, fitly put together. Unfortunately, sin exists and because of that, people may come into this world without a fully functioning body or mind. The complexities of human development from egg and sperm onward, can take paths that malfunction. That is a consequence of sin in our world. That is not to state babies sin, or anyone else at age and beyond of accountability are responsible for such malfunctions. It's just part of the curse of sin. If we knowingly sin, there is always a price to pay. It cannot be avoided. It may be something as small as a copying error in DNA. It may be huge enough to cost us our life. The household of faith is supposed to be the place where all people can find comfort and strength and help from hurt, in time of need. The gates of hell (death), cannot prevail upon Christ's church, Matt. 16:18. That is His promise but, that does not mean people will not be people, at whatever stage of sanctification and understanding they are in. A backsliding church can most definitely be prevailed upon by the enemy of souls. Fortunately, God always has a remnant to keep the truth going.
All this is to say people cannot be the marker of God's church because we are all the same: sinners in need of a Saviour. What then, can be the final arbiter of choosing a body of believers to fellowship with? TRUTH. Truth that is alive. What do I mean by that? Look at the verse again:
1Tim 3:15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
2. The church of the LIVING God. Quietness in a church building is not a determination of life or death. God's position?
Habakkuk 2:20 But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
Churches, the area of worship, are not fellowship centers of talk and discussion and "Hey, how ya been?" They are to be places where the human mind communes with their Creator and reCreator. The throne room of an earthly king or queen is silent, save for when something is said or done by the potentate to cause a reaction among those present. How much more so when in the presence of the King of the universe? Typical, common fellowship should take place outside the sanctuary, not within it. Within it, God says, 'Keep silent and think; for that which takes place in here is meant to cause you to think and ponder and contemplate your needs and My character, government and purposes to address your needs.' Ever walk into a hospital chapel? There you go. It's quiet, as people pray for loved ones, as people seek God's help in time of need. Why should it be any different in a church sanctuary?
Yet, quietness is not meant to be taken as a trait of life or death of a body of believers. On the contrary. A living church body is one that worships in the spirit of truth, John 4:23,24, and its impact on God's people. Things should be sung with joy and heartfelt thanks, and proclaimed in the preaching of the word to bring forth the same, along with deep conviction leading to repentance. It's no entertainment center. It's not to be some kind of party. You do not party before the Creator of the universe who has something to say to us when we are before Him. I have been in services where it's chaos. Literal chaos and cacophony. People act like they are hysterical, jumping around, and acting like the priests of Baal on Mount Carmel. Confusion, deception, another spirit. They leave the confines of the sanctuary and all of a sudden they act like normal people again. They call the chaos the moving of the Holy Spirit. It's the moving of a spirit alright but, not the Holy Spirit of God.
You see, truth must be the bottom line. The Devil sits in the front pew of all kinds of churches and the members do not see it. They know it not. You might walk into a Catholic church and you will surely experience silence. Yet, the doctrines are mostly traditional, man-made, ancient articles of baptized paganism. The Mass is a reenactment of the crucifixion of Christ, every day and night all over the globe where it is practiced. Yet the Bible says this:
Heb 9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
Heb 9:25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
Heb 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Heb 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Heb 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Messiah died once, and only once. His death on Calvary's cross is THE sacrificial atonement. No other is necessary. That is the truth. A truth long lost in Romanism or any other church that practices the constant sacrifice of Christ. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life which was taken from Him once, for the sins of the world. That one passage topples the great system of Romanism. Catholicism is not the church of God, regardless of all its pomp and circumstance and all its proclamations of it being the only true church. It is not. It is the Mother of harlots and abominations of the Earth. Sincere souls exist in its confines and they should come out of it, heeding God's word.
What then, is a dead church, a lifeless church? A place where truth is not relished and taught and reacted to. People going through habits and motions and same ol,' same ol.' Traditions, man-made stuff, worthless things that are called worship yet, have no place in God's word to be found. No doubt God is a God of order. Creation testifies to that. There is order in nature, despite the curse of sin and judgment upon it because of Adam's disobedience. Order remains in the ebb and flow of life on Earth. Yes, sin brings upheaval and the Earth is not in its originally created existence; therefore storm, tempest, quakes, explosions take place with the loss of what that brings. Yet, even then, what comes next? Ask governor DeSantis in Florida. Order must take place to begin clearing out and rebuilding. God is a God of order. Church services may have any number of aspects of orderly actions. The biblical sanctuary services were certainly directed by order from God, Himself. Truth is in harmony with order. When order takes the place of worshiping in spirit and in truth, death is near and morbid, spiritual death can take place, even though a lot of motion and activity can be seen. It is the church of the living God, therefore spiritual life should be seen and experienced by its members. Rounds of ceremony are not spiritual life. The ancient Hebrew services had much of that and unfortunately ONLY that, and God rejected it all, even though He established the earthly services, in great detail.
3. The pillar and ground of the truth. Here is the bottom line, literally. Pillars remain of many ancient buildings taken down by earthquakes or armies. Great columns of stone that held up even greater roof structures. We still see great pillars in great buildings, like the Supreme Court building in D.C. Pillars are seen in old homes, holding up porches of a second floor. The church of God holds up truth. Nothing can be of greater importance.
Foundation stones, mega-structures, can be seen from centuries of wear upon the ground. Truth is God's megastructure. Truth supports the building, the temple; God's believing children in the house of God, the house of faith, living and abiding in Christ. There can be no truth mixed with error in God's church. Mark that well. Error is not of God. Error cannot hold anything up, cannot support anything. It can only cause problems. If a church teaches error, it may have many sincere people within it confines but, it is a part of spiritual, prophetic Babylon. God calls His people OUT of those places, Rev 18:1-4. One doctrine that is erroneous will sooner or later run into the wall of truth and create confusion. God is not the author of confusion, 1 Cor. 14:33.
A family moves. The children are upset, being taken away from friends and things they know well. If it were up to them, they would stay put. They have no just sense of daily living and the necessities involved regarding employment and other important matters. The exact, same attitude can be found in religious people. They grow up in a church family. Then, truth is discovered. It weighs on the soul. Leave the church of their upbringing? Leave friends and family, literal family, to follow Jesus wherever he leads on the platform of eternal truth, to worship God in spirit and in truth? The internal battle can be intense. I have seen it many times. Rather than people accepting the truth brought to them in whatever way God sends, they will even attack their fellow member, curse them, treat them like dirt because they take a stand for truth that can be seen easily as truth, when Scripture is compared with Scripture. The Bible must be left to interpret itself. When it does, when it speaks, God intends His people listen and stand upon the ground, the foundation of truth, come what may.
In China, that can mean death. That can mean imprisonment or death in various nations of this world. Right now, in America, the actual nation that codified religious freedom and freedom of conscience, people of Christian faith are being harassed, oppressed and certain persecution is coming. It is coming to all nations as we draw near to the close of time. "All they that live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution," 2 Tim. 3:12.
I cannot tell people where to go to church; what church they should become a member of. I can tell you which ones are certainly not God's church, by virtue of great errors they hold to. They are the daughters of the harlot, and make up spiritual, prophetic Babylon. They may contain nice people. Undoubtedly, they will. That is not a defining characteristic of the household of faith. Even the church of Satan has nice people in it. Pagan assemblies have nice people in them. In many cases far nicer than some people in professed Christian groups. That is not and must not be a deciding factor. Truth is the deciding factor. Truth and no error.
For some, that can mean quite a journey. As they grow in knowledge of the truth they may go to different churches, searching for truth.
Remember this. There is a big difference between the spiritual body of Christ, made up of all born-again believers in the world, and physical denominations or churches, groups, assemblies of one kind or another. God's people can be and are in Babylon. They do not know it but, when the clarion call, the last call goes out for them to take a stand on the truth, they will leave the bodies of error and walk in the full light of truth. In some cases, in some lands, they may stand alone. God will encircle them with angels that excel in strength and will keep them boldly upright and standing. In other cases, it will come down to a home church, something that is filling China and Iran and other places around the globe right now. Home churches were the original gathering bodies in the New Testament. In many ways, public houses of worship were the result of compromises that held off the hands of persecution in the first and second centuries and beyond.
I will tell you this much. The law of God must be honored. Any group that teaches the Ten Commandments - all ten as God wrote them with His own finger, Exodus 31:18 - are not valid anymore, is flat out Babylon. That instantly separates bodies into Sunday or Sabbath keeping entities. Sunday is not and never has been anything but, the first day of the work week, as far as God is concerned. The seventh day is the day God set aside for rest and holy convocation and no man, no group of men have any authority to change that, period. God said "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy." Mankind may have forgotten. God never changes. The Sabbath shall exist on the New Earth, throughout eternity:
Isa 66:22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
Isa 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
Month to month, Sabbath to Sabbath shall all the redeemed come from around the world, thinking their way into the Heavenly sanctuary to stand on the sea of glass, mingled with fire - the reflections of the light and glory from the throne of God - having become as the angels in Heaven, who travel by speed of thought, and worship with the throngs of those who -
"...love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these." Mark 12:30,31
Love is that foundation of truth. Love the truth. Become the truth. Exist in truth. The love that shall exist from Heaven on Earth among God's people will not change, marching into eternal life. It shall progress into eternal life. Here's how all will know Christ's disciples, if they have love one to another even as Christ loves them, John 13:34,35. "If" they have love. It is never guaranteed for all who profess belief. It is a choice.
1Tim 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: **God was manifest in the flesh, **justified in the Spirit, **seen of angels, **preached unto the Gentiles, **believed on in the world, **received up into glory.
**It may remain a mystery how but, God became a man. Jesus Christ is Deity. He is a unity of the fallen humanity with the Creator divine. Any group that does not teach that is not the church of God.
**Christ lived a perfectly sinless life under the influence and control of the Holy Spirit, which made Him the perfect sacrifice for the sins of the world. If that is missing from any statement of faith, keep walking.
**Angels are real, they worshiped the Son in Heaven, witnessed the life of Christ on Earth, they even helped and comforted Him in His times of need when His humanity reached its limits. They are powerful creatures. Be careful here. Many churches teach that departed loved ones are angels. No. Angels are a separate form of creation. Jesus said the redeemed shall becomes as the angels in Heaven, Matt 22:30; Mark 12:25. They shall occupy a place in the royal family, as it were. They do not become angels. Some churches teach nothing about angels, as if they do not even exist. Paul said they do and are a great part of the foundation of faith and truth. I have never seen one, that I know of. We walk by faith, not by sight. Hebrews 13:2 is a great verse. Matter of fact, Paul mentions angels in the book of Hebrews 13 times. Only the book of Revelation mentions them more. Angels are mentioned almost 300 times in the Bible. The war we exist in contains them, both good and evil. That is reality. A group not understanding that fact is not the Church of God. We are not to worship angels, Col. 2:18,19; Rev. 19:9,10; 22:8,9. Nor should we place their existence on some back shelf as though their existence is not a vital part of God's work on Earth.
**Christ was and is to be proclaimed to a dying, unbelieving world; a world that was literally changed by Him and His message. The entire globe has been influenced, more so in the Western hemisphere but, the name of Jesus the Christ has been proclaimed on all continents and made a lasting impact. If a group does not believe in evangelism, proclaiming the gospel, through spiritual gifts imparted to believers, move along. The world cannot be saved but, individuals can be, and will be, in great numbers as we approach the end.
**Christ ascended into Heaven in triumphant glory, where He ministers for His people His grace and power to become the children of God. Knowledge of Christ's work beyond His life on Earth is crucial to understanding the plan of salvation. The same can be said for the ancient sanctuary services, which foreshadowed the life and work of Christ. Knowledge of these things are a true blessing and an important part of understanding Christ's church and its work on Earth.
Remember this, too -
Mat 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
You may not find any building with God's church in it. You may just discover two or three people who are just as important and just as much the church, the body of Christ, as any other group on the planet.
Start there. I bid you Godspeed. The journey may be a harrowing one. Remember, the Bible states only a remnant shall exist to display the truth and live it. God has people in all faith groups and even no faith groups. Atheists yet to be born again are known by the Lord. When He calls, they will listen. I did.
Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Courage in the Lord.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
I cannot tell you how many times I have been asked that question. My life developed its own set of circumstances that caused me to ask the question.
The query is an important one. The impact of an answer upon one's life can be inestimable. The estimation of both a positive and negative experience can make the difference between a triumphant success or abysmal failure of journey that can have eternal consequences.
First principle to consider, and possibly the only important one to truly take to heart and mind, well, it's a collection of principles:
1Tim 3:15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
1Tim 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
1. The "house of God," the church of God, holds up and supports the truth.
Let's unpack some things. The household of faith is meant to conjure up an image of a family. No family is perfect because people are not perfect. We make mistakes, all kinds of them, and worse, we sin. People can hurt people and do, unintentionally, and in some cases, intentionally, even in the household of faith. I am reminded, aside from ants, humans are the only species that will attack and kill its kind, en masse. Made in the image and likeness of God, fallen humans can be brutal to each other. It's an important point to keep in mind because if someone is looking for the perfect church, as soon as you join it, it's no longer perfect. Capisce?
The household of faith, the household of God is mentioned twice in the NT:
Gal 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Eph 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
Eph 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
Eph 2:21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
Eph 2:22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
I have been a carpenter, by trade. My father liked to make things. I watched, and while I had no interest in such things when a young boy, I learned, and learned more and still learn, and have forgotten most of it because I don't use it enough. You have to keep using what you learn or it gets lost in the shuffles of life.
God is trying to build a human temple, called His body, the body of Christ, who is the Head of the church. NO OTHER is or can be. No pope, no person of any man-made level of clergy, no man is or can be the head of Christ's body, the church; the "ecclesia;" those "called out." Christians are called to follow Christ, called out of the world, to stand separated from it's negative influences, as God defines that, not human clergy. The WORD, God's Word, is the only rule of faith, practice, and discipline for the member, the citizen of God's household and kingdom.
2Tim 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
2Tim 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2Tim 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Nothing more is needed by the believer. The Bible's living power has what it takes to make a person complete in Christ, by faith. The gifts of the Spirit are given to the church to always send them back into the Word for their life and their purpose and actions in life.
Every believer has a place, is a stone in the temple God seeks to build. Just as the body has parts, millions, trillions of them, so the body of Christ has a part any and all believers will occupy. Hands are not feet. The heart is not the lungs. The knees are not the elbows, etc. Each plays a role, has a part in the function of a body, fitly put together. Unfortunately, sin exists and because of that, people may come into this world without a fully functioning body or mind. The complexities of human development from egg and sperm onward, can take paths that malfunction. That is a consequence of sin in our world. That is not to state babies sin, or anyone else at age and beyond of accountability are responsible for such malfunctions. It's just part of the curse of sin. If we knowingly sin, there is always a price to pay. It cannot be avoided. It may be something as small as a copying error in DNA. It may be huge enough to cost us our life. The household of faith is supposed to be the place where all people can find comfort and strength and help from hurt, in time of need. The gates of hell (death), cannot prevail upon Christ's church, Matt. 16:18. That is His promise but, that does not mean people will not be people, at whatever stage of sanctification and understanding they are in. A backsliding church can most definitely be prevailed upon by the enemy of souls. Fortunately, God always has a remnant to keep the truth going.
All this is to say people cannot be the marker of God's church because we are all the same: sinners in need of a Saviour. What then, can be the final arbiter of choosing a body of believers to fellowship with? TRUTH. Truth that is alive. What do I mean by that? Look at the verse again:
1Tim 3:15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
2. The church of the LIVING God. Quietness in a church building is not a determination of life or death. God's position?
Habakkuk 2:20 But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
Churches, the area of worship, are not fellowship centers of talk and discussion and "Hey, how ya been?" They are to be places where the human mind communes with their Creator and reCreator. The throne room of an earthly king or queen is silent, save for when something is said or done by the potentate to cause a reaction among those present. How much more so when in the presence of the King of the universe? Typical, common fellowship should take place outside the sanctuary, not within it. Within it, God says, 'Keep silent and think; for that which takes place in here is meant to cause you to think and ponder and contemplate your needs and My character, government and purposes to address your needs.' Ever walk into a hospital chapel? There you go. It's quiet, as people pray for loved ones, as people seek God's help in time of need. Why should it be any different in a church sanctuary?
Yet, quietness is not meant to be taken as a trait of life or death of a body of believers. On the contrary. A living church body is one that worships in the spirit of truth, John 4:23,24, and its impact on God's people. Things should be sung with joy and heartfelt thanks, and proclaimed in the preaching of the word to bring forth the same, along with deep conviction leading to repentance. It's no entertainment center. It's not to be some kind of party. You do not party before the Creator of the universe who has something to say to us when we are before Him. I have been in services where it's chaos. Literal chaos and cacophony. People act like they are hysterical, jumping around, and acting like the priests of Baal on Mount Carmel. Confusion, deception, another spirit. They leave the confines of the sanctuary and all of a sudden they act like normal people again. They call the chaos the moving of the Holy Spirit. It's the moving of a spirit alright but, not the Holy Spirit of God.
You see, truth must be the bottom line. The Devil sits in the front pew of all kinds of churches and the members do not see it. They know it not.

Some churches teach nothing about angels, as if they do not even exist. Paul said they do and are a great part of the foundation of faith and truth. I have never seen one, that I know of. We walk by faith, not by sight. Hebrews 13:2 is a great verse. Matter of fact, Paul mentions angels in the book of Hebrews 13 times. Only the book of Revelation mentions them more. Angels are mentioned almost 300 times in the Bible. The war we exist in contains them, both good and evil. That is reality. A group not understanding that fact is not the Church of God. We are not to worship angels, Col. 2:18,19; Rev. 19:9,10; 22:8,9. Nor should we place their existence on some back shelf as though their existence is not a vital part of God's work on Earth.
**Christ was and is to be proclaimed to a dying, unbelieving world; a world that was literally changed by Him and His message. The entire globe has been influenced, more so in the Western hemisphere but, the name of Jesus the Christ has been proclaimed on all continents and made a lasting impact. If a group does not believe in evangelism, proclaiming the gospel, through spiritual gifts imparted to believers, move along. The world cannot be saved but, individuals can be, and will be, in great numbers as we approach the end.
**Christ ascended into Heaven in triumphant glory, where He ministers for His people His grace and power to become the children of God. Knowledge of Christ's work beyond His life on Earth is crucial to understanding the plan of salvation. The same can be said for the ancient sanctuary services, which foreshadowed the life and work of Christ. Knowledge of these things are a true blessing and an important part of understanding Christ's church and its work on Earth.
Remember this, too -
Mat 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
You may not find any building with God's church in it. You may just discover two or three people who are just as important and just as much the church, the body of Christ, as any other group on the planet.
Start there. I bid you Godspeed. The journey may be a harrowing one. Remember, the Bible states only a remnant shall exist to display the truth and live it. God has people in all faith groups and even no faith groups. Atheists yet to be born again are known by the Lord. When He calls, they will listen. I did.
Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Courage in the Lord.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Stacey Abrams
"Having children is why you're worried about your price for gas," Abrams told MSNBC. "It's why you're concerned about how much food costs. For women, this is not a reductive issue. You can't divorce being forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy from the economic realities of having a child. ... It's important for us to have both end conversations. We don't have the luxury of reducing it or separating them out."
"Abortion is an economic issue," she said. "... Half the population, especially those of childbearing age, they understand that having a child is absolutely an economic issue. It is only politicians who see it as simply another cultural conversation. It is a real biological and economic imperative conversation that women need to have."
These comments by Stacey Abrams, stated in an interview on MSNBC news, are all over the web. I was not going to comment on Abrams position. It speaks for itself in a very confused world. A society that would kill babies to fight inflation is a very sick society.
Of course, generations of females - and males, for that matter - have been taught babies in a womb are not babies. They are just a foetus, some tissue, expanding cells. Nothing to see here. Move along. When it comes out of the womb and breathes on its own, then it's a baby. Well, everybody knows that is just plain stupid. It's wrong. Everybody knows it. Insane people now claim, (yes, they are not of sound mind, they are insane), and those people now want, even babies breathing on their own to be left to die in such a cruel act of inhuman lovelessness nurses are leaving or changing their careers because they cannot stand to see it anymore.
First, "reductive."
reductive
adjective
1. tending to present a subject or problem in a simplified form, especially one viewed as crude
Example: "such a conclusion by itself would be reductive"
2. relating to chemical reduction
Example: "the reductive elimination of acetyl iodide"
Meaning of "reductive" in English
reductive
adjective
considering or presenting something in a simple way, especially a way that is too simple:
Hm. Is that not exactly what Abrams stated? Just have an abortion to fight inflation. That is what she presented. She reduced the issue to something alarmingly over-simplified, and actually, quite terrifying to a civil society.
If you are concerned about inflation, don't bother your elected civil servant representatives tasked with the issue. Just abort your foetus. After all, it isn't really a baby. It's just something growing inside you that you should have the freedom to kill, just like any invasive substance or entity. It's unwanted.
That's sick. It really is.
I wonder what percentage of babies from 'unwanted pregnancies,' went on to do great things for humanity?
Why didn't Abrams state: 'If inflation concerns you, don't get pregnant. Use contraception. Stay a virgin until you get married. Use some moral common sense.'
Well, Democrats are no longer moral. Their moral senses goes no farther than their desire for control and convenience of it, in running a nation. Common sense and Democrats has become an oxymoron. God forbid Stacey Abrams wins Georgia's election for governor. Not that Kemp is any prize. He isn't.
Stacy Abrams is a very confused soul. I'd only feel sorry for her but, she's running for an office of important authority in her state. She must not be allowed the governor's seat. Not just because she is "pro-choice" and has no problem killing babies to fight inflation, which is seriously bad enough. [Have mercy, it sounds as nuts as it looks as I type it]. It's because she is mentally confused about numerous issues she should be cognizant of.
Another mouth to feed is certainly something all adults should be concerned about but, right now, already born, functioning people are dealing with something created by monetary policy of government politicians and the federal reserve. It's a situation that has risen faster than at any time in American history. It is planned, just like the plandemic. Just like everything being done to ruin the Republic right now. It's planned. It's not accidental. It is most certainly not an issue of human birth rates, which, in America, and the entire Western hemisphere, have become dangerously too low to keep the society and civilization going.
It is a scary thought such people as Stacey Abrams are in government or trying to be. AOC was recently taken to task, quite vocally, by her own constituents. They should have thought better before electing her. The same could be said for most elected civil servants now in control of the nation.
God help us.

671. A UFO October Surprise? - October 22, 2022
Bryce Zabel is a television creator, writer and producer, as well as an author. I never heard of him until today. This is taken from an article he wrote back on 12/31/2021, on a website called medium.com. Visitors get 2 free reads, so, if you go there you should be able to read the full article.
"THE POLITICS OF UAP
The October Surprise of 2022
"The calendar says Unidentified Aerial Phenomena will be an issue next year in the United States midterm election. Politics and UFOs are about to mix as never before.
"2022 is poised to have the greatest political October Surprise in the history of United States elections.
"That’s right. Unidentified flying objects dumped smack into the middle of a national midterm election. UFOs as a political issue. Candidates questioned about where they stand on the issue.
"It sounds crazy. It’s not going to happen. Right? I mean, right?"
***************************************************
June 25th of last year the public received a rather anemic UAP report. The Congress received the lengthier, more detailed one. Another report is scheduled for October 31st, 9 days away. Halloween? Seriously?
I continue to believe the Adversary of souls is going to use the whole ET phenomena as a big dog and pony show deception at some point in the future. How soon? I have no idea. Things in the UFOlogy arena have gotten downright dirty amongst the various voices vying for attention. A bunch of documentaries have been released. Infighting has turned off many enthusiasts. Is it all a big government ruse and side show to attempt to take eyes off greater matters? All governments?
Nothing the U.S. government tells the populace can be believed, true or not. Lying to the citizenry is so common now, with no reproach from the press doing its duty, at least towards Democrats, Biden may as well be the greatest adventurer in American history, who's done more and been more than any other American citizen/politician. He lies about his past almost every single speech he gives. The mainstream press says not a word. Nothing of politics or mainstream press can be trusted anymore.
So, anything the government tells Americans about the UFO phenomena must be taken with a large grain of salt.
Rather than state what's in the article, here are some excerpts from it:
"That next midterm election will be held on Tuesday, November 8, 2022.
"The next national UAP report, produced by the Department of Defense and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, will come out exactly eight days before the midterm elections.
"Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, I submit to you that if there’s going to be an October Surprise that affects the 2022 election, this is going to be it."
"It is true that the June 25th report, released on a Friday afternoon, got some weekend coverage but was off the news radar by Monday. Still, it would be misleading to say that the public news angle was the only impact it had.
"The reality is that the report, particularly that classified version that none of us average citizens got to see, really shook up a lot of people in Congress. It’s what got Gillibrand to write up her Amendment. It got others like Marco Rubio and Mitt Romney to start talking about all this in public language that held open the possibility that they may not be, well, of this Earth. It got the same response from NASA’s new administrator Bill Nelson. Even Avril Haines whose office put it out was talking more openly in the aftermath. Plus, last year saw former CIA chiefs taking to the airwaves and talking about what a vast universe we live in, one where anything is possible.
"So, already the world of October 31st, 2022 is further along on this subject than the world of June 25th, 2021. That’s how fast these things are moving these days.
"Remember that Senators Gillibrand, Rubio and Romney, just for starters, have all run for president before. Gillibrand and Rubio, in particular, are as ambitious today as they ever were. Clearly, they do not think that talking about UAP or introducing legislation is going to derail those ambitions. They will be standing before the cameras at CNN and Fox and everyone else faster than you can say “Tic Tac.”
"The body politic may be both shaken and stirred and most definitely spilled all over our nice party clothes by this next report.
"This time, depending of what it says and how it says it, cable news could blow up with scientists, celebrity abductees, whistleblowers, witnesses, pilots, and God knows who else, all trying to expand on what the report has suggested and to pitch their expertise to talk about whether it is true and what is being done about it.
"A National Security Election
It’s easy to see that one way to look at the UAP issue is to treat it as a national security issue. This stance allows candidates to say they don’t know who’s behind these UAP but we better be ready for them whoever they are. Already the on-the-record politicians talk like they’d rather UAP be extraterrestrial in nature because if it’s from Russia or China we are in one heap of trouble. Gillibrand, Rubio and Romney have all made this case.
"In the end, in the shadow of semi-disclosure, at least one of the political parties will be asking whose finger do you want on the button if there are ETs buzzing our aircraft carriers and missile silos? In fact, it’s such a good argument that both may try to use it at the same time.
"And the reliably unreliable Donald Trump won’t be able to avoid the microphones and he’ll tell us how he can be very, very strong, the strongest president in all of history, he’s been told. Even a small bit of disclosure of UFO reality is such a disruptive act that it may be catnip for Trump. He can shoot off his mouth with no consequence, not currently being in the White House, allowing him to be front-stage center through it all. By next October/November he may be looking for a distraction event.
"In 1976 and 1980, both major party presidential candidates (Ford wanted hearings, and both Carter and Reagan has UFO sightings) had UFO connections, but remarkably, the issue never really came up in reporter’s questions or in the many debates.
"2022 will be different.
"A Political Circus
Admittedly, this is not likely to be anyone’s first choice for how the world should handle such an important issue as learning that we are not alone but we are, after all, only human. Chaos and mess are kind of our thing, always have been, and there’s no reason to believe the situation will be any different next year.
"That means 2022 is primed and ready to go down in history books as the first national election where UFOs were visibly on the ballot in at least a few races and just maybe across the board.
You heard it here first."
************************************************
This is the first I hear of this new report to emerge. If accurately reported by Zabel, why release such a report right before a national election? Dems are in control. It's their move, then. Personally, politically speaking, with more and more Democrats refusing to debate their opponents, they know they have no message, no help for struggling Americans, nothing to sway voters but, do all they can to make opponents look as bad as possible, in any way possible. They know a shellacking is coming. If they cannot control the machinery of the election, they are toast. I have no doubt they will do everything they technically can to control an outcome favorable to them. Criminals that get away with the loot, will criminalize again. It's always easier the next time around, so they think.
Where would all candidates stand on this UAP issue? Zabel, I believe, is correct that everybody would just make it a possible national security issue. I do not see that helping Democrats because their handling of the military in Biden's administration has been a total disaster. National security is about the weakest point in the egg basket for Dems. A totally open Southern border proves that.
My issue with UFOs/ET is one regarding last-day events and Bible prophecy and deceptions of Satan. If it is reported visitors from beyond Earth are flying around, it will not shock many people. Far too much has been out there for decades for people to ponder. Hollywood's treatment of the subject, the Sci-Fi cable and YouTube channels, as well as UFO TV channel, and dozens of various YT channels and websites place all this stuff before the world and the possibility of life beyond Earth is a majority view among the planet's populace now. If anything, people want ET to show up and take control of the world out of the hands of the lunatics running and ruining the place. Imagine such a point of view. That's how bad things have gotten. The people in control are literally trying to kill as much of the population as they can; no conspiracy theory. Proven facts with data and receipts. And they even own up to their egregious handling of Covid, yet are planning even more mask mandates and lockdowns. Are they now beyond hope? God knows. It certainly seems so. I confess, I have no sympathy for the lot of them. Arrested, tried and put away for crimes against humanity is the only thing that should take place.
If things are far enough along that the final deceptions are upon us, things are going to move very quickly. The "angel of light" has a show planned to end all deceptions. ALL power, signs and lying wonders are coming. That much we absolutely know, 2 Thes. 2:9. What they'll be, exactly? The "immortality of the soul" will certainly be in the mix, with spiritualism, as well as a movement to establish Sunday as the national and international day of rest. If "ET" appears, expect a pope of stature and popularity to be placed right in the forefront. That will probably not be Francis. On the other hand, such a lukewarm, modernist Catholic would fit in well with such deceptions. Regardless, given the place of the Papacy in prophetic events, any pope will be part of a final showdown between truth and error. "Mother" will go with error, if she believes it will help her desire to be top banana in the world of geo-religio-political scenarios. She cares nothing for truth and prophetically, "cast it to the ground" centuries ago, Daniel 8:12.
Will the world radically change in 9 days? We'll just wait and see. Personally, I am thinking, not yet.
In 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2, Paul lays out scenes of incredible deception, not the least of which is God sending a strong delusion on people who refused to receive the love of the truth, and will believe lies. You see, it really is all about truth versus error and having our lives changed by God's truth. Many newer translations state that God sends them the working out of error or deception. It's just God allowing the results of lies to take their final toll.
Do you know the truth? Do you love the truth?
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

672. #4. Almost There - October 25, 2022
I haven't played drums in months. Three, four? I don't remember how long it had been, and then I took all the drums away and left an empty rack set up, preparing for recording #4, Solos for Concepts Drum Sets.
One might ask how I could possibly sit down and record drum solos after not even playing for three or four months. I mean, by the time I actually sit down and play again, maybe five months will have passed. Honestly? For whatever reasons of brain and body function, I have often taken time away from the instrument and come back to it fresh and more energized. I usually have a pair of sticks in hands and tap away on my knee as I sit and watch something on the web. My hands stay "warm," as it were. My feet only get some flexing exercises which help but, I definitely notice it when I sit down at the pedals. I'll just have to practice for a day and get things back up to speed.
I guess I've already mentioned 'Solos for Concept Drum Sets' is about the principles of sound, as far as drums go. I'm setting out to show a drum made of almost anything will sound, not just like a drum but, a perfectly respectable sounding instrument under the microphones and in the hands and mind of a capable recording, mixing and mastering engineer. Regardless of the shell material, it's the drum heads that make the sound. The shells, as you will hear in a professional recording capacity, are almost meaningless. I emphasize 'almost' because shell density and depth do add characteristics to naked sound. With a band all around you, such nuances and subtle differences just get lost far too easily. You can get the same results just by changing heads from any of the dozens of choices out there, now.
The menagerie of "drums" is almost finished. Pictured below is the final round-up. I just need to place some finish on the tabletop shells, assemble the rig and I'll be ready to go.

Because some people will just not believe what they are hearing, I'm going to videotape each solo so there is no question what I'm playing on. What you see on the video will be what you'll hear on the recording.
Right now it's back out to the shop to do some finish sanding on those shells, then some high gloss, bearing edges, assemble and begin recording. It'll take awhile to do this, assembling 8 or 9 different drum sets in position, one at a time but, it'll be a chore worth doing, and actually most of the kits will be small ones. Not a lot of angle adjustments, etc.
I'm looking forward to this. I know it will make a difference for people all caught up in the big money game. You can spend more, a lot more for nicer finishes, better metal components or more sturdy hardware, etc. but, paying more money for better sound that will somehow set you apart from another player on a less expensive set? No. That's a fantasy given an impact by drum manufacturer marketing campaigns.
'Solos for Concept Drum Sets' will be a pretty interesting recording. And, aside from my friend, guitarist John Mayes, once again handling the mixing and mastering of the files, we'll also toy around with a second recording of the same solos, meg'd out with all the bells and whistles of recording software. We'll see what John's imagination can come up with for that one.
All in all, something I shall be honored and satisfied to put out there for the drumming community to check out.

Why Won't They Debate?
It's been in the news for awhile now, well, one side of the reporting press, anyway, that over in Arizona, Katie Hobbs, the Democrat candidate for governor, will not debate Republican Kari Lake. In the last week or two I have seen reports that other Dem candidates for office are refusing to debate Republican candidates. Why? Debates are American history and as normal in political election cycles as red, white and blue placards and buttons.
I can think of some obvious reasons.
1. Democrats have no message, no anything to present to the citizenry, other than attacks on their opponents. Everything they touch turns into a train wreck. Nothing of American life is better because of their leadership and opponents will just melt them into a stage with the data and facts of that.
2. Do they have to debate when the press is in their tank? The mainstream press covers for them, start to finish. The press in this nation is an apostate organization run by multinational corporations with financial and social agendas. They want Democrats in office because they are easily molded to their desires.
3. Democrats are now the party of the destruction of American rule of law, American traditions and values and principles of Constitutional governance. They trash it all, unless it is something they can use to bolster their lies and agendas with. They want no standards, no values, and certainly no influence of Judeo-Christian ethics to monitor their behavior, which have guided the nation since its inception. They have no possible way to stand on a stage and promote that agenda, except before the most rabid of their supporters.
4. This may be the bottom line. They are going to win their races if they have any control of the voting systems in place, state to state. Already, around the nation, Democrat minions have been photographed stuffing ballot boxes. Some states have changed their laws to assure Democrats can win by simple, behind the scene cheating.
I have already stated I will not be surprised if Kari Lake 'loses' the election in AZ in the wee hours of the morning following the day of voting tabulations, even though she is far enough ahead to assure victory. It will just be 2020 2.0. Hobbs has even threatened to sue one county working to make certain NO funny business can take place. One person, one ballot, period, and all votes are hand counted. In what universe would a candidate for an elected office threaten to sue citizens seeking to make the election as saturated with integrity and as free from corruption as possible? Obviously in the universe Hobbs lives in; a place of unbridled criminal intent.
November 8th is coming. No one should be surprised if Democrats suffer severe defeats or emerge as victors in the face of data that would normally be insurmountable. It's America, 2022. Anything can happen, or, will only one thing happen?
We'll see.

Against oil, God and guns
That is a line taken from Trump's speech in Robstown, Texas. It's outside Corpus Christi. It was another enormous capacity plus crowd that turned out to hear the man speak, and tease he will be running for the 2024 election of POTUS saying, he'll have to do it again.
Speaking of Democrats, Trump said, "They're against oil, God and guns, and they think they're going to do well in Texas. I don't think so."
And he also stated this. Speaking of three, MS-13 gang members, criminal illegal immigrants who kidnapped, raped three girls and murdered one of them -
"... in a horrific, Satanic ritual..."
I have not always agreed with or stood behind Trump, for various reasons but, in Robstown he made the issue the biggest it can be: it's a war between God and Satan, a spiritual war, bigger than politics. Politicians are just the pawns used by Satan, as well as minions from all sectors of society; the kind of remarks you hear in sermons, not political stump speeches. There, I can only, logically agree with him. It's the reason I maintain a slight hope that everything happening is part of the prophetic puzzle and the final pieces will find their way into the final showdown.
No, I'm not predicting. I'm watching. America is speaking like a political dragon right now, as the world's bully, pushing it's weight around for half a century, in this American empire but, as it states in Rev 13:11-18, the nation will ultimately take on religious tones that will create a religious atmosphere of apostasy against the law of God. It seems impossible, doesn't it? That's the beauty of Bible prophecy. It predicts the impossible so we can know God knows the end, from the beginning. We can trust the Word. We can confidently place all our eggs in that union of human and divine basket. It will not, it can not let us down.
The timetable for all events is, as well, in a union of human and divine realities. As God forms a cooperative people ready to represent His will and character before the world, in righteousness, in holiness and Christlike power, the Adversary picks up his pace. When a people race towards and hasten the Lord's return, 2 Peter 3:1-14, it will happen.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Deniers Need to Explain This
I don't post things about Covid and the injections much anymore because the evidence of the truth is everywhere, and has been for anyone willing to look. For those who deny the injection serums are nefarious in nature, every step of the way researchers from around the world have filmed what is in these fluids under electron microscope magnification. In this video, Maria Zeee, a reporter/news blogger from Australia, interviews another Doctor who shows, at 200 times speed, actual mechanics of whatever is inside these vials of injury and death. Watch the whole thing. More becomes visible the more you see.
The technology is astounding, to say the least. One of the things I have understood about nanotech comes from the testimony and presentations of Dr. James Tour, well before Covid broke so, knowing what can be done, because he and his companies have done it, this new testimony, from Dr. David Nixon, comes as no surprise. It's just really bizarre to watch and realize the devils who devised this entire scheme are responsible for MILLIONS of adverse reactions and mounting deaths. Thus far, only an individual's immune system, under attack, at that, or God will save people from ultimate problems, if not demise.
The deniers have run out of watery, wasted, and wicked explanations for what is happening; what was warned about well before it began to happen. All they can do is cry, "Conspiracy theory!" Sorry. The videos stand against that tired defense and this one will drop jaws of even people who know the injections are dangerous.
The perpetrators of this event shall meet judgment someday.

73 Lawsuits!?!
"You can't make this stuff up," is a wholly inappropriate phrase here because this was predicted by everybody in alt news media, at least libertarian or conservative alt news.
The Republican National Committee has filed its 73rd lawsuit regarding election integrity issues thus far in 2022. "More to come," is their statement, through their chairwoman, Ronna McDaniel.
https://www.theepochtimes.com/gop-launches-73-election-integrity-lawsuits-ahead-of-2022-midterms_4817191.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=ZeroHedge&src_src=partner&src_cmp=ZeroHedge
It is important to remember that the political parties are not part of the U.S. government. They are political businesses. They are not wings of the federal government system set up by the Founders and Framers. They exist as businesses that raise money to elect members of their parties. Even though laws exist; federal, state and local laws, as to how elections are to be run, violations, which are crimes, are generally only prosecuted if someone brings charges of some kind, which Republicans rarely do, and agencies set-up to protect the law, enforce it, rarely do anymore. Why is it no law enforcement agency on the federal side, did any kind of thorough investigation of the 2020 POTUS election? Mountains of evidence showed up on alt news sites every, single day and still does. Well, because they wanted Trump out, period, and spent millions and years to have it that way. Now, with fraud so easy to perpetuate, doing so in any and all races across the nation is a given; an absolute probability, a definite event. It's already been caught in the process in various states. Over a quarter million ballots sent out in Pennsylvania to non-existent citizens. Those ballots, tentatively sent to places they can be filled out and returned, via ballot stuffing, will be votes from non-existent people, dead, moved away, fabricated, duplicated by the dozens or hundreds or thousands, and counted as votes for a candidate, and unless someone files a charge, no one will check 255,000 votes for authenticity. The state is already saying it will take longer than the next morning to tabulate votes. Judges do not want to handle the issue, unless they are committed to the rule of law or are cajoled to do so by the party they are members of. Justice is NOT blind, and never really has been.
Mail-in voting for all Americans, supposedly unable to go to a polling place to cast a vote, is the biggest scam in American history of election processes. For overseas citizens, military and the like, sure. All Americans? Ridiculous. The probabilities of fraud are endless. The other thing is tech-voting on machines which can be manipulated in several different ways, not the least of which is by tech-masters in places outside American soil. They can be hacked, have been hacked, and will continue to be hacked. It's an absolute joke; only, it isn't a joke. It's criminal activity. Electing civil servants, to serve the law of the land, through criminal activity. Can anything be more convoluted?
Why now, anyway? Because if the GOP looks as fraudulent as it is, by letting this matter drift away with political winds, the Grand Old Party is toast. Money flow will cease. They don't care about running the nation. They only care about getting elected and reelected, getting wealthy, winning more elections, and the rule of law means no more to them than the Democrat Party. BOTH, by virtue of total criminal negligence regarding their oaths to protect the Constitution, should be abandoned. That is unlikely to happen, and they are such huge businesses no challengers to their reign are ever likely to have a chance at actually governing according to the limits of the Constitution. The control of political money keeps honor and the rule of law from entering the system. It's an enormous ruse. It's a scam, by every definition. Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi and all the rest of these "professional politicians," are agents of control, period. It's all a game between two entities that are so alike, it is now referred to as the "uniparty." Dems are far more vacant, when it comes to integrity but, so much corruption exists in the GOP, it's basically a draw. Ronna McDaniel is just a pawn. The controllers hate anyone who steps out of line, the business line. Any elected civil servants who do, are not supported and cut-off from funds to get reelected, should they decide to run again, which they all do, negating American history of civil servants doing their duty and then going back into the private sector. Today, rebels get "primaried." They see to it the renegades are not reelected.
More lawsuits to follow? Big deal. It's all theater. It's all acting to make money. Judges will rule for yay or nay, and nothing will actually change until big names go to prison for their crimes, and the two major parties become defunct, null and void.
Don't hold your breath.

673. Jesus Was Not Political - October 28, 2022
I've addressed this subject before but, given the current trend of affairs, I'll revisit it, and do so from a more personal position.
Some ask why, if I believe the end of the world is approaching, at whatever delayed pace, I would care about, or share thoughts about American politics. If I hate politics, because I cannot stand politicians, why write about the stuff? It's a good question, one I have addressed in my own mind a thousand times, and my answer is always the same.
First and foremost, because Jesus Christ is the believer's example in all things, 1 Pet. 2:21-23, it is necessary to see how He lived and looked at politics. In a few words, He said, Render to Caesar what is Caesar's and render to God what is God's. All three synoptic Gospel's mention it, Matt.22:21; Mark 12:17; Luke 20:25.
He called Herod a fox, Luke 13:32. He ministered to all the same, if they came to Him or even just gave space to Him; Jews, Romans, all people. Let's face it. He said, point blank, love your enemies.
Do good to those who despitefully use you.
Turn the other cheek.
If they take your coat, give them your shirt, too, Matt 5:40; Luke 6:29.
He denied being made a political king, John 6:15.
For all intents and purposes, Christ was apolitical. He just didn't get into political issues of His day, and He certainly could have. There was much He could have addressed but, He didn't. So, why would I?
For one thing, The Jews were under the yoke of Roman rule, by their own apostasy. I am a free American in a land that set the stage for all freedom and liberty in the modern world. No kings. No Queens. No ruling church in America. Only elected civil servants and everybody gets a say in how things go, by virtue of free elections. Well, yeah, that's all shot to pieces now but, in principle it was earth shattering 250 years ago.
Another issue is simply the prophetic role America shall play in last day events. The place of this nation in prophecy is there, regardless of the way things have gone or the way things look, as bleak as they ever have. America is a nation in prophecy, fulfilling marks for the second beast of Revelation 13. Everything it does is a possible issue in its rise and decline in falling into full-blown apostasy from its moorings and original principles. Commenting on its activity becomes, at least an interest, if not a necessity.
Things have changed, radically, in American politics. Back in 2007, the "Harry Reid Letter" openly attacked a private citizen, Rush Limbaugh. Back in 1995, President Clinton attacked the "angry voices" of talk radio and said they were a force behind the Oklahoma bombing. The Clinton years and what followed were the years that began the gulf-wide separation of Americans into hard Left and hard Right. It existed to an extent and showed itself way back to the time Barry Goldwater ran for president, in the 1960's. Jimmy Carter showed major differences in the late 70's and Ronald Reagan solidified much of it for the Conservative message in the 80's.
I really could not have cared less back in those times. I became a Christian and student of the Bible and its prophecies in 1979 and the 80's saw a tremendous amount of change in the world that met marks of prophetic pace. A whirlwind began that lasted a decade, and then cooled off in the 90's and settled into the politics of personal destruction, as Clinton called it. It has only gotten worse, both sides, all sides, and many in Christianity have backed off it all because of the vitriolic nature that exists. Nothing has changed because of Christian involvement in politics. Things have steadily gotten worse and here we are today with what all medicine called perversions at one time, now running the nation in highest offices and positions in the land. Why bother with it? Especially if I believe America is destined to fall?
It's simple, really. Before America falls it is going to become a dragon; a persecuting, Satanic, final show of apostasy dragon that will bring down hell on God's people. Honestly, I have come to the place in life where I hope I am not alive to see it. We have no idea just how bad it's going to get. And I mean that from the side of the joining of church and state, NOT some secular, technocratic, lunatic elitist plan to run the world. The New World Order, Great Reset has no idea the power that sits in the wings, waiting to be unleashed, when religion reaches a height of influence again. The worst persecutions in history have been at the hands of Christless, religious fanatics. Those professing great belief in Jesus have been the worst of all. I am not looking forward to the time when church and state shall align to save the nation and come under satanic delusions and make life far more than miserable for those who do not join their movement backed by "all power, signs and wonders," led by the Vatican, joined by apostate Protestantism, and held up by the "kings of the Earth:" all secular society.
When the Bible says God's people will not be allowed to buy or sell, that is exactly what it means. It will be a horrific time. The multitudes under Satanic delusions. I would want to state a case for holding that off as long as possible that the Gospel may go forth in as much time of freedom and liberty as is left. Once the harassment, oppression and persecution ramp up, sharing the everlasting gospel will become worse than days of ancient Rome. They were just ignorant. Today, humanity will become possessed by spirits of evil. Big difference.
So, to me, being a dual citizen of both America and the kingdom of God, carries dual responsibilities. The Bible says to pray for civil leaders. At the same time, John the Baptist went straight at the king's adultery and lost his head because of it.
Back in the 80's there were many preachers on television - "televangelists" - who spoke out against the moral decline in America and political miasma that developed. The possibilities of final events was big, especially when Euro communism came down, and the USSR dissolved. Reagan and the Pope conspired to move things along in a people movement; just sheer numbers of humanity taking to the streets and ultimately removing Communists from positions of power. What a different world today with so many American leaders praising communist China, the most despotic nation on Earth. The world buys China's goods, making it enormously wealthy, while it crushes dissent of any kind; political and especially religious. It's a world-wide hypocrisy.
All of these things are dumped into the cauldron of prophetic events now. Any of it, all of it, can be used by Lucifer to bring about the final events on planet Earth. Add the UFO phenomena and its intrusion into the world psyche, and what is coming on Earth will hold the attention of all Heaven and the universe. The final two sides are developing. The final issues all humanity must decide upon are gearing up.
I don't know how things are going to play out in the immediate future. I know how they might. I can see how they could. I just have no conclusive evidence it's going to happen. So, I comment on what takes place in the world of religion and politics because I know the final apostate union of the two are coming some day, possible our day.
While there are some true American patriots on government I believe most cannot really be trusted. I believe the same is true for American clergy, caught up in things wholly American but, not necessarily wholly kingdom of God. I do not want the collective Christian church running America. I believe in the absolute necessity of the separation of church and state. History has shown its dangers over and over again. At the same time, I state again, you cannot separate God from state or you get incivility running a nation, which is what we now have, coast to coast.
I admit, it's a fine line but, it's a clear one. Remember the words of Christ:
John 16:1 These things have I spoken to you, that you should not be offended.
John 16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yes, the time comes, that whosoever kills you will think that he does God service.
John 16:3 And these things will they do to you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
Bear in mind, those who persecute think they know the Father and the Son. They are sure they are doing the right thing, the necessary thing, when they persecute those who do not follow what they believe yet, Jesus said they do not know the Father, nor Him. That is the religious confusion and miasma that developed down through history when issues of church and state were not balanced, and so it shall be again, in America and in the entire world. Christ said it even more strongly in the sermon on the mount:
Matt 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Matt 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Matt 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
It's one thing to state, "I don't know you." It's another to state, "I never knew you." That brings in another perspective. In the case of those who did and do many things in the name of God, it shall be a torrential downpour of conviction of guilt and horror when Christ tells those sure of their salvation and place in the kingdom, "I never knew you. Depart from Me, you worker of iniquity."
The absolute necessity of understanding heavenly principle and truth cannot be overestimated. It is the believer's only protection from great delusions coming. This is no game. This is eternal reality playing out, step by step, in a real war most humans are clueless about but, that is going to change. That is why sharing the truth while relative freedom and liberty exist to do so, in most of the Western hemisphere, anyway, is so important. In other parts of the world real persecution takes place, in many ways worse than in ancient times. Loss of life is a given when terrible circumstances develop, which they all too often do in Africa and Asia, and we are not even at the place of the final prophetic events yet.
"Darkness covers the Earth, and gross darkness the people."
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Some ask why, if I believe the end of the world is approaching, at whatever delayed pace, I would care about, or share thoughts about American politics. If I hate politics, because I cannot stand politicians, why write about the stuff? It's a good question, one I have addressed in my own mind a thousand times, and my answer is always the same.
First and foremost, because Jesus Christ is the believer's example in all things, 1 Pet. 2:21-23, it is necessary to see how He lived and looked at politics. In a few words, He said, Render to Caesar what is Caesar's and render to God what is God's. All three synoptic Gospel's mention it, Matt.22:21; Mark 12:17; Luke 20:25.
He called Herod a fox, Luke 13:32. He ministered to all the same, if they came to Him or even just gave space to Him; Jews, Romans, all people. Let's face it. He said, point blank, love your enemies.
Do good to those who despitefully use you.
Turn the other cheek.
If they take your coat, give them your shirt, too, Matt 5:40; Luke 6:29.
He denied being made a political king, John 6:15.
For all intents and purposes, Christ was apolitical. He just didn't get into political issues of His day, and He certainly could have. There was much He could have addressed but, He didn't. So, why would I?
For one thing, The Jews were under the yoke of Roman rule, by their own apostasy. I am a free American in a land that set the stage for all freedom and liberty in the modern world. No kings. No Queens. No ruling church in America. Only elected civil servants and everybody gets a say in how things go, by virtue of free elections. Well, yeah, that's all shot to pieces now but, in principle it was earth shattering 250 years ago.
Another issue is simply the prophetic role America shall play in last day events. The place of this nation in prophecy is there, regardless of the way things have gone or the way things look, as bleak as they ever have. America is a nation in prophecy, fulfilling marks for the second beast of Revelation 13. Everything it does is a possible issue in its rise and decline in falling into full-blown apostasy from its moorings and original principles. Commenting on its activity becomes, at least an interest, if not a necessity.
Things have changed, radically, in American politics. Back in 2007, the "Harry Reid Letter" openly attacked a private citizen, Rush Limbaugh. Back in 1995, President Clinton attacked the "angry voices" of talk radio and said they were a force behind the Oklahoma bombing. The Clinton years and what followed were the years that began the gulf-wide separation of Americans into hard Left and hard Right. It existed to an extent and showed itself way back to the time Barry Goldwater ran for president, in the 1960's. Jimmy Carter showed major differences in the late 70's and Ronald Reagan solidified much of it for the Conservative message in the 80's.
I really could not have cared less back in those times. I became a Christian and student of the Bible and its prophecies in 1979 and the 80's saw a tremendous amount of change in the world that met marks of prophetic pace. A whirlwind began that lasted a decade, and then cooled off in the 90's and settled into the politics of personal destruction, as Clinton called it. It has only gotten worse, both sides, all sides, and many in Christianity have backed off it all because of the vitriolic nature that exists. Nothing has changed because of Christian involvement in politics. Things have steadily gotten worse and here we are today with what all medicine called perversions at one time, now running the nation in highest offices and positions in the land. Why bother with it? Especially if I believe America is destined to fall?
It's simple, really. Before America falls it is going to become a dragon; a persecuting, Satanic, final show of apostasy dragon that will bring down hell on God's people. Honestly, I have come to the place in life where I hope I am not alive to see it. We have no idea just how bad it's going to get. And I mean that from the side of the joining of church and state, NOT some secular, technocratic, lunatic elitist plan to run the world. The New World Order, Great Reset has no idea the power that sits in the wings, waiting to be unleashed, when religion reaches a height of influence again. The worst persecutions in history have been at the hands of Christless, religious fanatics. Those professing great belief in Jesus have been the worst of all. I am not looking forward to the time when church and state shall align to save the nation and come under satanic delusions and make life far more than miserable for those who do not join their movement backed by "all power, signs and wonders," led by the Vatican, joined by apostate Protestantism, and held up by the "kings of the Earth:" all secular society.
When the Bible says God's people will not be allowed to buy or sell, that is exactly what it means. It will be a horrific time. The multitudes under Satanic delusions. I would want to state a case for holding that off as long as possible that the Gospel may go forth in as much time of freedom and liberty as is left. Once the harassment, oppression and persecution ramp up, sharing the everlasting gospel will become worse than days of ancient Rome. They were just ignorant. Today, humanity will become possessed by spirits of evil. Big difference.
So, to me, being a dual citizen of both America and the kingdom of God, carries dual responsibilities. The Bible says to pray for civil leaders. At the same time, John the Baptist went straight at the king's adultery and lost his head because of it.
Back in the 80's there were many preachers on television - "televangelists" - who spoke out against the moral decline in America and political miasma that developed. The possibilities of final events was big, especially when Euro communism came down, and the USSR dissolved. Reagan and the Pope conspired to move things along in a people movement; just sheer numbers of humanity taking to the streets and ultimately removing Communists from positions of power. What a different world today with so many American leaders praising communist China, the most despotic nation on Earth. The world buys China's goods, making it enormously wealthy, while it crushes dissent of any kind; political and especially religious. It's a world-wide hypocrisy.
All of these things are dumped into the cauldron of prophetic events now. Any of it, all of it, can be used by Lucifer to bring about the final events on planet Earth. Add the UFO phenomena and its intrusion into the world psyche, and what is coming on Earth will hold the attention of all Heaven and the universe. The final two sides are developing. The final issues all humanity must decide upon are gearing up.
I don't know how things are going to play out in the immediate future. I know how they might. I can see how they could. I just have no conclusive evidence it's going to happen. So, I comment on what takes place in the world of religion and politics because I know the final apostate union of the two are coming some day, possible our day.
While there are some true American patriots on government I believe most cannot really be trusted. I believe the same is true for American clergy, caught up in things wholly American but, not necessarily wholly kingdom of God. I do not want the collective Christian church running America. I believe in the absolute necessity of the separation of church and state. History has shown its dangers over and over again.

Should America Be A Christian Nation?
Is America a Christian Nation? No. It is a nation with a clear majority of citizens who profess belief in the Biblical Deity. That Deity is not prescribed into any law at the Federal level. Jesus Christ is not named in the laws of this land.
Also, historically speaking, less than ten years after the Constitution was ratified (1789), the Treaty to Tripoli was drawn up, to end battle between America and Muslim nations attacking American ships. It was written while George Washington was President, in 1796. It was ratified in 1797, when John Adams held the office of the presidency. Article 11 of that Treaty states:
"As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion,- as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Musselmen,- and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."
Why that bit of history escapes the national Christian community is strange, indeed but, suffice to say, America, at present, is certainly not, by its own activity, a Christian nation. It's culture has grown more and more secular and even antichristian at the highest levels of government and certainly it's society.
That stated, a new Pew Research survey shows that 60% of Americans believe the Founders meant to establish this nation as a Christian nation. 45% of Americans believe it should be.
https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2022/10/27/45-of-americans-say-u-s-should-be-a-christian-nation/
What will this mean in the immediate future? Time will tell. If 150 million citizens believe America should be a Christian nation, and they become influenced and backed up by a "miracle working" revival of all power, signs and lying wonders, it doesn't take much brain energy to figure out what will happen if such a revival gains political power. And that is pretty much what Revelation predicts for this nation.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

674. The "In God We Trust" Movement - October 29, 2022
I never heard of this movement. It's been around for 20 years. On the surface, it seems fairly innocuous. The flag, baseball, Mom's apple pie-type stuff. The website for the movement has a lot of information on the history of the phrase, as well as many other websites, if you do a search.
https://ingodwetrust.com/
Back in 1864, the phrase was legislated to be placed on American money. A century later, 1954, President Eisenhower pushed for the motto to be made the motto for the United States, and in '56 it was done.
In God We Trust. At one time it might have been said the majority of civil Americans believed that. Today? Well, that's why there's a movement to bring the phrase back into a more recognized quality of American life.
Incivility is now commonplace. Freedom of speech exists, rampantly, if you want to say ugly things about Christians and Conservatives. To some degree, saying ugly things about the hard Leftists of the citizenry is allowed, unless they get offended and sue you but, for the most part, civil people do not engage in ugly rhetoric for the sake of sensationalizing an issue. You can't discuss anything if you plaster another person's view with personal attacks on them. But, that is America, now. No matter who you are or what you do, you can be totally wrecked on-line, in an instant, and something goes "viral," and your reputation is toast. Happens all the time. So much so, young people commit suicide under such pressures.
In God We Trust. The phrase was originally suggested as a reminder. Do people who trust in God need to be reminded to trust in God because that is where blessings come from? It's an oxymoron, isn't it? People who trust in God as a part of their worldview and daily life, need no reminder, anymore than people need a reminder to eat a meal when they're hungry. Trusting in God becoming a motto is tantamount to admission Americans really do not trust in God. They might have a cursory belief in deity but, trust is deeper than that. Much deeper. Trust is reliance. Trust is dependence. Trust is whole hearted necessity to stay connected to someone or something because you trust in its efficacy to be there because you have it close to you, all the time. I'm sorry but, I see no such animated pursuit of such a personal or public policy in America today. Quite the contrary. An atheist threatens to sue, and people show just how much they do not trust in God.
The motto has been tested in court. The motto remains. Those who promote the motto are surely sincere. They state no particular deity is mentioned in the phrase so, jump on board the bandwagon and trust in whatever deity floats your boat. That is, of course, not the history of the people who promoted the phrase and its meaning to begin with. The Judeo/Christian God is the One who is to be trusted in the reminder. That is the history of America, and not any other deity believed to exist by the human race. Most all State Constitutions begin with a preamble stating that fact.
To be certain and sure, the God of the Bible can be trusted, and just reading the Psalms would provide plenty of reason why:
Psa 4:5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
Psa 5:11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
Psa 5:12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
Psa 9:10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
Psa 17:7 Show thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.
Psa 18:30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
Psa 20:7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
Whether you believe the name, the actual name of God is any number of variants of spelling and pronunciation out there; from Yahweh to Jehovah to Yahovah, etc., etc. the term, "name" is also connected to the idea of the office of and the character of, the authority of - 'I come in the name of the king;' meaning, the authority of the king. "There's a name you can trust," meaning: the person that name is attributed to has a character and life and principles you can trust.
Is that a motto that can be placed upon a nation constantly at war, constantly lying to its citizens, whether by politicians or merchants or even clergy? Do you know how many people in ministry know the fourth commandment has validity: the seventh-day Sabbath is the true day of rest God said specifically to remember? Why do they lie to their congregations? Because if they took a stand for the truth, their congregations would get rid of them. Many of them simply make a decision about employment. Does that show they trust in God? Those who do take a stand often go their way of conviction and many congregants follow their lead and start another church. Lots of stories, going all the way back to the Seventh-day Baptists, exist on that score. It still happens today, all over the world, involving well over 500 various Sabbath-keeping groups that share the truth and see these things happen. Why so many groups? Ah, back to issues of names, pronunciations, the biblical feast days and other issues that seem to divide. I've seen and experienced many of them. God does not change but, mankind certainly does. That's another issue. Or, is it?
Regardless of divisions, freedom and liberty to trust in God, to live under the constraints of conviction and conscience, are guaranteed rights in America, constantly threatened by Leftists, even though the last time Congress voted on the matter of the motto the count was something like 396-9 in favor of it. It's just more political theater. It's about money, reelection, saying, doing whatever to stay in power and control. To tell me America trusts in God is simply ridiculous. Many do, of course. God knows each one.
The entire answer to the dilemma is summed up in one principle and concept: living within the rule of law as established by the limitations and the liberties established within the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights. And the same goes for the spiritual side of the nation; living within the boundaries of the law of God, the Ten Commandments. Keeping the commandments does not save anyone but, if all Americans did, just on a civil basis, think of how the nation would be functioning. If all the world lived that way, think of how the world would function.
The fact is, if the whole world experienced salvation by grace through faith unto obedience, the world would be heaven but, enemies exist. People and nations which will not have God reigning over them.
Psa 25:2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
Psa 25:3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
Look at that verse. Transgress without cause. Look at the news and see the FBI rounding up people from all walks of life that take a stand against corruption. The FBI transgress without cause, just to intimidate. There is no cause to arrest people at gunpoint in the middle of the night just because they are politically against the policies of current people in power and control, and speak out against them. The agency, once something of integrity and honor, is now just a tool in the hands of a corrupt federal government to attempt to crush dissent. Frankly, it is obvious people in the FBI do not trust in God. If any do, and they take a stand, out they go, so, they remain quiet and go about their business, hoping they are not asked to do something that stands against their trust in God, and they have to decide on God or career. Everybody is nervous about who is looking over your shoulder, which is basically totalitarian rule, communism, despotism, fascism, and every other "ism" that stands against freedom and liberty. That is bound to happen to ALL people who truly trust in God because a winnowing process always takes place, that the kingdom is filled with tried and true, not citizens in name only. God tests His people. He aims to refine character in the fires of trials and tests of fidelity to truth. He'll allow you to be cornered, to let it be seen what you will actually do, not just think and believe.
If Americans trust in God, claim to trust in God, they can be sure God will shake America to its core to see just how sincere that motto is taken to heart and life.
Psa 62:8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
"Selah" means to think about it.
Psa 73:28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
Psa 118:8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
Psa 118:9 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.
Psa 125:1 A Song of degrees. They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
Interestingly enough, the Bible states God shall move the mountains and melt them with His glory when Jesus returns. And even Jesus said, by faith, His people shall move mountains. Mountains of difficulty are constantly moved by God's people putting their trust in Him.
Psa 146:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
Psa 146:2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
Psa 146:3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
Psa 146:4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
Psa 146:5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:
Psa 146:6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5,6
Christians teach their children those lines in song. Generations have grown up with those words etched in melody yet, here America stands, in great confusion, in great need, in troublous times caused and created by man, siding with the Enemy of souls, and they do not even know it or, worse, they do.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

The entire answer to the dilemma is summed up in one principle and concept: living within the rule of law as established by the limitations and the liberties established within the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights. And the same goes for the spiritual side of the nation; living within the boundaries of the law of God, the Ten Commandments. Keeping the commandments does not save anyone but, if all Americans did, just on a civil basis, think of how the nation would be functioning. If all the world lived that way, think of how the world would function.
The fact is, if the whole world experienced salvation by grace through faith unto obedience, the world would be heaven but, enemies exist. People and nations which will not have God reigning over them.
Psa 25:2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
Psa 25:3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
Look at that verse. Transgress without cause. Look at the news and see the FBI rounding up people from all walks of life that take a stand against corruption. The FBI transgress without cause, just to intimidate. There is no cause to arrest people at gunpoint in the middle of the night just because they are politically against the policies of current people in power and control, and speak out against them. The agency, once something of integrity and honor, is now just a tool in the hands of a corrupt federal government to attempt to crush dissent. Frankly, it is obvious people in the FBI do not trust in God. If any do, and they take a stand, out they go, so, they remain quiet and go about their business, hoping they are not asked to do something that stands against their trust in God, and they have to decide on God or career. Everybody is nervous about who is looking over your shoulder, which is basically totalitarian rule, communism, despotism, fascism, and every other "ism" that stands against freedom and liberty. That is bound to happen to ALL people who truly trust in God because a winnowing process always takes place, that the kingdom is filled with tried and true, not citizens in name only. God tests His people. He aims to refine character in the fires of trials and tests of fidelity to truth. He'll allow you to be cornered, to let it be seen what you will actually do, not just think and believe.
If Americans trust in God, claim to trust in God, they can be sure God will shake America to its core to see just how sincere that motto is taken to heart and life.
Psa 62:8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
"Selah" means to think about it.
Psa 73:28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
Psa 118:8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
Psa 118:9 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.
Psa 125:1 A Song of degrees. They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
Interestingly enough, the Bible states God shall move the mountains and melt them with His glory when Jesus returns. And even Jesus said, by faith, His people shall move mountains. Mountains of difficulty are constantly moved by God's people putting their trust in Him.
Psa 146:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
Psa 146:2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
Psa 146:3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
Psa 146:4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
Psa 146:5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:
Psa 146:6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5,6
Christians teach their children those lines in song. Generations have grown up with those words etched in melody yet, here America stands, in great confusion, in great need, in troublous times caused and created by man, siding with the Enemy of souls, and they do not even know it or, worse, they do.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

The First Time in Modern American History? - October 30, 2022
Are we noticing how America, nor any other country, hasn't spent a nickel's worth of time trying to get some peace talks going between Russia and Ukraine? Putin did not want war to begin with. Where are the peace negotiators? No possible peace? Why is that? Is this the first time in modern American history no one, no group, has any kind of ideas or strategy to end a war that could ignite the end of all things on Earth? What is going on?
The answer is obvious. The Great Bully, America, wants Russia torn down to nothing, with Putin gone, so they can install some weak, vacillating leader who will do anything America wants. That is modern, built-into-an-empire, America. How long can the U.S. be a war monger for power and money before something, another power or group of powers, takes it down enough pegs to destroy the American economy and the country's place among nations, a righteous leader, not a bold-faced, bully?
Putin and Xi have their own ideas for a new world order and it is not the one Euro and American elites have planned. That means D.C. and the military industrial complex must take down Putin, and then Xi. It's insanity on parade but, these rogues in D.C. are not Americans. They have no patriotic blood in them, no understanding or care to understand the role of God in the foundation of this nation. They could care less about the freedom and liberty this nation should stand for. There is one goal, and one goal only: power and control. So, Ukraine is being used to bring down Putin. NATO allies are just pawns to the American petro-dollar. They just walk in lockstep to America's wishes, 99% of the time. It only stands to reason Taiwan will be used to attempt the ruination of Xi when this war debilitates Putin enough to have him removed from office. Failure is not acceptable to most Russians.
Putin has had the highest rating of any leader of any nation by its people because he has been incredibly successful in rebuilding Russia to the place it's in. If the war changes that, Putin will be gone and he knows it, and that means the nuclear option is on the table to just end the war. But, the use of a nuclear weapon upon Ukraine does not have the same background as upon Japan, in WW2, does it? Japan attacked America. Japan started a war. Although corrupt Ukraine and it's leaders have waged war on it's own provinces of people with their "death squads" in their southeast, who want to be Russians, and consolidated themselves into states that voted to leave Ukraine, which made matters worse, which is how Putin was drawn into this situation, not enough people understand that, and Putin started a war that already existed upon Russian people. The corporate owned press refuses to make those facts plain, because the agenda is war to bring down Putin.
Add to that Russia's claim that their intel tells them Ukraine is planning a "dirty bomb" action on Russian soil. If that takes place, Putin is cornered and must retaliate to reckon his place in Russian's eyes. WW3 potentially erupts and the outcome of that is M.A.D. Do not be surprised, just like the Nord Stream pipeline bombing, if American squads would be behind such an action.
Most Americans are clueless about this situation. Those who understand and speak out just don't have the exposure to make a difference. Most Americans either know and believe the rotten mainstream press propaganda or, clueless Conservatives playing their flute to their choirs of people; who believe Donald Trump can save the world, and is even chosen by God to do so.
What a confused mess. For the first time in my life, a war exists that can truly affect all Americans, and is affecting them, monetarily, right now but, what is on the table can not just affect us but, kill us all.
It's a cloud that insinuates itself into all aspects of daily life. It could turn into a tempest that could destroy everything.
May God help us and keep leaders sane, to enough of a degree the situation can remedy itself, somehow, some way.

Almost 80%
Man, I'm seeing this headline all over the place. Almost 80% of Americans believe things are out of control. Ya think?
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/poll-republicans-lead-house-2022-10-30/
More Americans than ever are paying attention to why things are so difficult for them, when just a couple years ago, life was "normal," if not even pretty good. The difference, the only difference is those who make up the control and decision factors in Washington, D.C. and around the world. Of course, they mostly make decisions based on corporate requests and money behind them. That's a major chunk of the problem. Most politicians are bought and sold like livestock.
58% percent of people polled said they will be voting Republican, while 38% said, Democrat.
In the 90's and before, numbers like that would assure Republican victories come an election day. Today? Not to be trusted.
The absolute failure of America's two-party/uni-party system will never remedy the situation. Things are now systemic. They cannot be changed. Besides, aside from reelection, most politicians could not care less about what factors make life harder for average Americans. They are totally out of touch. If they ever have cared, they obviously do not care now, except for how it may affect an election campaign.
A mentally ill old man is president of the United States of America, getting to the Oval Office through criminal theft of the voting process.
A former POTUS candidate, Hillary Clinton, has the unmeasured audacity to claim the coming election in 8 days will be stolen by Republicans.
So, if Republicans say an election was stolen after the fact, it is regarded as BS. If Democrats state an election will be stolen before it happens, that is legitimate news.
If Republicans state an election will be stolen before it happens, which can now be said with real data to back it up, it's just bogus hype and rhetoric.
If you think anything will rectify this current system in place and the people who control it, you are just plain wrong.
Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts, absolutely.
I'm just wondering how those numbers will change if it is discovered the situation at the Pelosi house and the attack is not what we are currently being told.

675. What Divides America? - November 3, 2022
Essentially, I could observe and state the question could be "Who divides America?" Even at that, the who's are all in a 'what' camp so, I'll stick with that.
The non-president, Mr. Biden, continues to divide Americans in just about every recent speech. Again, though, he divides over a 'what.' He calls for unity but, those who are "MAGA" supporters remain, in his mind - which sorrowfully is not all there, anymore - a threat to American Democracy. And he says this with a straight face, even while telling Americans they'll have to be patient after election day because it will take days to tally up the votes. He stands there and boldly tells Americans the Democrats and their useful idiots, as well as their professional criminals, are going to commit massive fraud again and steal as many elections as they can. Because Republicans totally waffled on the situation in 2020, they have zero stones to throw and zero credibility to throw any, even if they wanted to now.
Do you see why I hate politics? Because politicians are worse than "used car salesmen" and other professional liars. Hey, if you sell used cars, that belief is on your industry for good reason. My wife has been car shopping and the amount of lies she's been told, the amount of butt kissing, the amount of just saying anything salesmen think she wants to hear has made her sick to her stomach. That's America and politicians right now. Americans are sick to their stomachs of constant daily news of politicians getting away with whatever they want and whatever they do. The Pelosi situation now is the spearhead of that perception, even as one Senator tells Americans they have no rights of free speech top question the official story. No accountability. No responsibility.
The "what" that divides is simple. God. Truth. The Constitution.
If people do not believe in God, do not believe in having to face God someday for every thought, word and deed of a lifetime, there is no reason to not lie, if it suits your needs. If you do not believe God is the One who renders rights, who is the great Lawgiver, then breaking the law means nothing. It's just a means to an end. Just make sure you don't get caught.
Truth is based on a set of bottom-line principles, regardless of the area of life. Principles that have suited human beings for ages have stood tests of time because principles, truths endure. Truth is light. Light shines on things and exposes them. Those who want darkness hate the light. Jesus said as much. Pick a religion and that principle will be found in it because if truth is disregarded, there is no way to run a civilization except through force. There is and can be no trust of anyone or anything, and force, the powerful controlling the less than powerful and the weak, is the only way to keep chaos from erupting.
The U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights changed the world. Even in their imperfections they are a set of principles, at least in their original statements, that work if they are followed because they limit the power of government and any other body, to control people. As long as citizens are law-biding, everything functions okay and ways are in place to make adjustments.
Those Americans who believe in God and truth and the U.S. Constitution are enemies of those who reject God and truth and the Constitution. I am not a threat to democracy, unless you mean "rule of the majority," then I am a threat to that because the Founders were against that. I am certainly not an enemy of the Republic because I believe in the principles of Americanism. The flaws that history shows Americans engaged in have been in an ongoing process of change to gain closer to better stabilization of tried and true principles, like "Do unto others what you would have them do unto you." Have mercy, if just that one principle were followed, America would be a completely different place to live in.
Yes, doctrines divide churches. So what? Doctrines, teachings, are there to guide in the truth, as they are truth. Error cannot help anybody, and if people care about truth, people will find their way to it. As long as freedom of speech remains, as long as freedom of choice remains, people will find their way to truth. At least if citizens know belief in God constrains the citizenry from acting uncivil towards their neighbor, differences pertaining to things of life, within the rule of law, can continue to function. Take away God, take away truth, take away the Constitution's provisions for limited government, and what we have is all we can and do have - powerful people with money and authority abusing power and authority.
Light and darkness cannot abide together. It's impossible. One micron of light can dispel darkness in a given area of space. Human eyes can detect the difference between that little light and pitch black darkness.
If Americans continue to reject God and truth and the Constitution at the rates they have been over the last half century, America can only collapse or, be held up by sheer force of power held by those who have position when the nation implodes. There are no other options; certainly none that will hold up to the stresses brought on by rejections of principles and foundational building blocks that made America great; the greatest nation in the history of the world. Even with all the problems brought on by ignorance or abuse of power and authority thus far, America's Founders made provisions for necessary change that may arise, within their belief in the Sovereignty of God, the power of truth, and principles found in the Declaration of Independence and the foundation of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Personally, I do not see the current corruption getting better, save for a false religious revival that prophecy predicts shall come, and through it, "Peace and safety" will be the cry but, as Paul stated, sudden destruction will then commence. I'm just being honest. Most politicians are airheads, or just pawns bought and sold by huge corporations or, worse, nefarious agents of destruction. Those who are honest, decent Americans, have no path to change anything, anymore. There just aren't enough of them to facilitate change. That's the truth, like it or not. That's why I constantly say only God can make the difference now and I remain fairly convinced He is not going to step in and do that. We shall reap what has been sown.
Just do not expect a big win for the Constitution and rule of law on election day. You will be sorely disappointed. The fix has already commenced, Biden just told everybody, systemic corruption exists, and as much as I think Kari Lake will make a good governor for Arizona, I do not expect her to win, by sheer vote count. And if she does win, well, you can count the number of principled governors in America on one hand, certainly on two. They shall all continue to be targets by political opponents, by the main stream press, by corporations refusing to engage in their states, and other factors of marginalization. Florida, South Dakota, maybe another state or two handled the plandemic and its lies and liars correctly. Two or three states does not a healthy nation make.
If the GOP does well, unopposed, and takes back the house, the corruption within its confines will not change the status quo. All talk of holding people responsible and accountable, all efforts trumpeted to bring America back to sane and principled positions, to help Americans regain confidence in Government through elected civil servants, will fade away quickly. I see no reason to believe otherwise.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

676. Who Decides What is Right or Wrong? - November 5, 2022
Depending on your worldview, your point of view, you may believe the new Barna Research Study/Survey is welcome news. From my point of view, the worldview I hold to be true, it is the further witness of the devastation of the American culture.
https://www.arizonachristian.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/CRC_Americas-Values-Study_Report_04.pdf
The link is to a shocking study (in my view, anyway), that shows almost half of Americans believe they are the arbiter of right and wrong. Right and wrong are just an individual thing for tens of millions of Americans.
From the study:
"As the nation continues to fight for a set of values and morals that will define its future, a new survey from the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University notes that seven out of 10 adults (71%) claim to support traditional moral values in America today.
"However, the same survey highlights significant transitions in the public perception of the Bible’s role in defining traditional moral values. In fact, slightly less than half of all adults who said they support traditional moral values also embrace “biblical morality” as one of their core values. Rather than pointing to the Bible as the best source of morality, 42% say that “what you feel in your heart” is the surest moral guide for life."
Honestly, if you understand the principles of what constitutes spiritual, prophetic Babylon, you are looking at the absolute epitome of it in this study. Confusion.
The vast majority of Americans, from the major societal groups, claim they support "traditional moral values." Yet, the enormous nature of the numeric citizenry that believes they should should decide right and wrong by what they feel in their heart, defies such support. There is no principle in "feelings." Again, the Bible states, point blank, unmistakably:
Jer 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
There is a place for making decisions and assessing what you feel but, without any kind of absolute authority for a guide, everything becomes potentially deceitful and desperately wicked as a result. Most humans would completely reject the notion they are deceitful and wicked yet, the professed biblical Christian knows God speaks truth and people can be mean by design or mean by default, depending on the situation. What does God say?
Mat 5:38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
Mat 5:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Mat 5:40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
Mat 5:41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
Mat 5:42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
Mat 5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
Mat 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Mat 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Mat 5:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
Mat 5:47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
Mat 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect
Character is the main issue for each of us, as far as God's will is concerned. Of course those are difficult principles to absorb and carry out. God's ways are not man's ways but, the new study shows the numbers of Americans turning to God, and the Bible to make decisions is woefully small.
In Western civilization it is the Bible that has defined traditional moral values: the Judeo/Christian platform of ethics and morals. That message, those principles have gone to the farthest corners of the globe.
As the study points out, if Americans now believe there is no absolute truth, and how we each feel should decide moral issues, then that will ultimately fall into the hands of elected civil servants, who are NOT moral guides, they are civil servants. More and more politicians are deciding moral issues. The influence of the Christian churches wane and weaken, decade by decade. This new found freedom from shame and guilt and conviction of traditional moral values laying upon American hearts and minds, is taking America's youth in droves and that has been the case for a couple generations now. It is no longer Happy Days. The major group that believes the Bible is a solid guide is that which contains citizens aged 50 and above.
Prophetically speaking, this is not good news. Yes, confusion abounds and that is the biblical scenario in last-day events. BUT!, this is not the confusion that can place America in its final stages of warring against God's commandments. It seems so but, it cannot be. The further America descends into secular humanism and situation ethics, the farther from the prophetic place Revelation states for the nation to gain religious control and influence the world. Yes, a false revival of all power, signs and lying wonders can gel together a final apostate coalition but, that coalition regards God's law but, in an apostate form. The current survey indicates the law of God and the Bible is a distant second place finisher for what guides Americans. Yet, what did Jesus say? Those who seek to kill God's people will think they are doing God service. No deeper confusion can exist. That is not the confusion the Barna survey reveals of the current state of Americans.
When the Moral Majority and other such groups were powerful players in the fabric of American society back in the 80's, prophecy was happening at an alarming rate. It all fizzled out for credible reasons of apostasy among God's professed people, ever more sinking into the lukewarm, Laodicean condition, written out in Revelation 3:14-22. Since that time, despite champions of church and state having as much influence in American political decisions as possible, the state, the secular culture has dragged the churches of professed Christianity into an abysmal condition, which the survey boldly shows.
I'm no Paragon of wisdom or anything close to an example of holy living but, even from a simple, mental examination of this survey, America is in deep trouble. The kind of trouble that leads, not just to societal breakdown and collapse but, national collapse and devastation. History is filled with such examples, not the least of which is the nation of Israel, itself. It chose Barabbas and Rome, not the Messiah. The Protestant nations of Europe have descended into great darkness when they had been lights in the miasma of coming out of the dark ages. Catholic countries are the worse for their descension into secular humanism. Canada, now just a secular sink hole under the leadership of a globalist minion. Mexico, even if you consider just Roman Catholic influence, is now run by drug cartels and paramilitary groups. North America is basically shot. Western civilization is crumbling. Rather than a false religious revival, religion is being pushed out of the thinking of more and more citizens of the world, even as professed Christian commentators claim the Covid injections are the mark of the beast!
The election in a few days will state much and state little. Government is not and cannot be the answer. God is but, He is being placed on a back shelf, for emergency purposes only. God is not a crank radio to rev up to listen to tornado reports. The living God is in control of the universe. As man forgets or rejects that, He has little reason to tell anybody a tornado is approaching. He already told us that, in dozens of places in His word. Now it is a matter of reaping what we have sown, and reaping the whirlwind.
Hosea 8:7 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
Jer 8:20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
https://www.arizonachristian.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/CRC_Americas-Values-Study_Report_04.pdf
The link is to a shocking study (in my view, anyway), that shows almost half of Americans believe they are the arbiter of right and wrong. Right and wrong are just an individual thing for tens of millions of Americans.
From the study:
"As the nation continues to fight for a set of values and morals that will define its future, a new survey from the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University notes that seven out of 10 adults (71%) claim to support traditional moral values in America today.
"However, the same survey highlights significant transitions in the public perception of the Bible’s role in defining traditional moral values. In fact, slightly less than half of all adults who said they support traditional moral values also embrace “biblical morality” as one of their core values. Rather than pointing to the Bible as the best source of morality, 42% say that “what you feel in your heart” is the surest moral guide for life."
Honestly, if you understand the principles of what constitutes spiritual, prophetic Babylon, you are looking at the absolute epitome of it in this study. Confusion.
The vast majority of Americans, from the major societal groups, claim they support "traditional moral values." Yet, the enormous nature of the numeric citizenry that believes they should should decide right and wrong by what they feel in their heart, defies such support. There is no principle in "feelings." Again, the Bible states, point blank, unmistakably:
Jer 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
There is a place for making decisions and assessing what you feel but, without any kind of absolute authority for a guide, everything becomes potentially deceitful and desperately wicked as a result. Most humans would completely reject the notion they are deceitful and wicked yet, the professed biblical Christian knows God speaks truth and people can be mean by design or mean by default, depending on the situation. What does God say?
Mat 5:38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
Mat 5:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Mat 5:40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
Mat 5:41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
Mat 5:42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
Mat 5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
Mat 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Mat 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Mat 5:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
Mat 5:47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
Mat 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect

Congressman Jared Huffman, D- California
Jared Huffman is a humanist, openly so. He rejects using the term "atheist" and has no hostility towards those of faith. He recently spoke at a convention of the Freedom From Religion Foundation.
“I feel like I have sort of become the surrogate representative for countless folks across the United States that identify as nonreligious,” Huffman reportedly said. “As many of you know, I am the token humanist in Congress.”
“I’m a humanist and I don’t believe in God,” he said.
The American Humanist Association named Huffman the “2020 Humanist of the Year,” and he co-founded the Congressional Freethought Caucus in 2018, a group devoted to promoting “public policy formed on the basis of reason, science, and moral values.”
https://www.faithwire.com/2022/11/04/i-dont-believe-in-god-congressmans-new-proclamation-sparks-secularists-claim-others-in-congress-will-be-following-in-his-footsteps/
Just wondering how he decides what are "moral values" not founded in and from the Bible, the Word of God, and how to reasonably assess moral situations without an authoritative guide. Atheists/humanists betray common sense and American history with such positions.
Matter of fact, being from California, which everybody knows is a Leftist stronghold (despite pockets of people on the Right, including a Northern secession movement), one might wonder how the man can be a Representative from his state, when his State's Constitution professes in its preamble:
"PREAMBLE: We, the People of the State of California, grateful to Almighty God for our freedom, in order to secure and perpetuate its blessings, do establish this Constitution."
How can Mr. Huffman represent the the People of his state, grateful to Almighty God for their freedom, if he does not even believe in God, and therefore... just where does he believe freedom comes from? Government, i.e. elected civil servants/politicians? How can he work to secure and perpetuate blessings from God, when he doesn't believe God exists? I would submit he cannot, for he has a major conflict of interest. I can only imagine most politicians in CA have the same conflict.
The article linked to closes with this ominous quote -
"FFRF co-president Annie Laurie Gaylor believes Huffman’s recent decision to speak up even clearer on his rejection of God could spark others in Congress to do the same.
“As Rep. Huffman alluded to in his remarks, there are more members of Congress who hold the same view as tens of millions of Americans about the nonexistence of God,” Gaylor said in a statement. “We have no doubt that others will be following in his footsteps in the near future.”
God help us and save us from such ignorance.

677. Wars and Rumors of Wars - November 5, 2022
Millions of people, even those with no profession of faith of any kind, have come across the words of Jesus about last day conditions before His return, about there being wars and rumors of wars. Most people see any new war as the end of all things, and the nuclear potential is certainly there. We all can see it and people in positions of power even discussing the promulgation of such a war in the context of victory are crazy and/or mad.
That said, look at the exact words Matthew records Jesus teaching:
Matt 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Matt 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
Matt 24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
His actual words tell of a situation most people don't consider. Even if nuclear war of some extent broke out, if indeed, God allowed it, that would not be the end of the world, even if we might be logically certain it would be. That determination is held in reserve for the second coming of Christ. THAT will be the end of the world:
Matt 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
It is no different in Mark's gospel or Luke's:
Mar 13:7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.
Mar 13:8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
Luke 21:9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
Luke 21:10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
Luke 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
Skeptics have claimed for ages that wars have always existed. That's true. Why would Jesus use such a sign for His coming when war is so common? Prophetically, it's what comes after wars or rumors of war that matter. Jesus uses wars and other signs as things that shall be worldwide, not isolated events: war that has far more cataclysmic potential than all previous wars before the end times. Same as nations rising against nations, pestilence, famine, earthquakes and signs in the heavens, etc. They are all to be understood as multiplied on a global scale.
All this understood, if you think the Russia/Ukraine war is the only concern right now, and it's a world-wide, huge one, all things considered, ponder this article about what is on the table for the subject of wars and rumors of wars:
http://themostimportantnews.com/archives/3-more-major-wars-that-could-suddenly-erupt-in-2023
Russia/Ukraine/NATO
Israel/Iran
Iran/Iraq
North Korea/South Korea
China/Taiwan
The author does not mention it but, may as well put India/Pakistan in the mix. Tensions between those two nations are held in check only by the possibilities of M.A.D., which you would think would cause the entire globe to be satisfied with peace, and yet, war and the potential for more wars remains a constant.
It is important I mention the author of the article, Michael Snyder, is a decent man, a patriot, who ran for Congress last election cycle and lost; is a MAGA supporter, who compiles information in very astute ways but, I hasten to add, is a Futurist, as far as Bible prophecy goes. For him, like so many millions of professed Christians, last-day events follow the train first suggested and written out by a Roman Catholic Jesuit priest and church prelates, centuries ago, which a watered down Protestantism has fully adopted. Mother and daughters, evermore, unfortunately, right to the end.
Still, the article shows details of what's happening around the world that are significant.
I had written to Snyder once. Never got a reply but, such a sincere guy will not be without paying attention to eternal matters of other views of prophecy as the time approaches. I trust he will make sound decisions to step onto the platform of eternal truth.
Again, wars and rumors of wars are signs the return of Christ is soon but, not yet. The biggest war in all human history will be the coming battle between the law of God and the laws of man; the "Remnant" against the Great Mother Whore, her Daughters and the Kings of the Earth; ultimately between Christ, the Creator & Redeemer, and Lucifer, the fallen, created rebel.
In the midst of it all, "Peace and safety" will be the cry of the majority population of the Earth, then, sudden destruction will come upon them as travail upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape the wrath and judgment of God defending His persecuted people, 1 Thes 5:1-3, Rev 19:11-21.
I should make one thing clear. Time, events, all are in God's hands. If nuclear war broke out and billions perished, the Earth has a way of recuperating from disaster, and while men are certain nothing could escape the ultimate demise of life on Earth owed to nuclear fall-out, God has ways of protecting His people, in the most remote corners of the planet, and life will continue on, even if God had to start from scratch again, like after the Flood. The thing is:
Jer 25:29 For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the LORD of hosts.
Jer 25:30 Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
Jer 25:31 A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the LORD.
Jer 25:32 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
Jer 25:33 And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.
God has a controversy with the nations. While Jeremiah's words first applied to God's backslidden, apostate people and their coming fall to ancient Babylon, the primary phase of the prophecy contains language only a secondary phase can accomplish. Ezekiel and Isaiah and other prophets portray the same scenarios about ancient Babylon. She has a modern, prophetic counterpart that shall go to war with God and be soundly defeated. As Jesus said, himself, combining two events, as one, is an indirect way of teaching truth. For Him, answering His disciple's question about the destruction of the temple and the end of the world, their misunderstanding of events opened the door for Christ to conflate the similarities. God has done that through His prophets over and over. When the primary event happens, that is not necessarily the end of the matter. The secondary application may take years, centuries, millennia to take place but, it shall, and in our day we shall see the fulfillment of many prophecies with larger meaning than ancient times.
It's a complex world and figuring out what is coming can only be as good as we stay rooted in Scripture, and letting the Bible interpret itself with its signs and symbols.
There isn't anything we can do but, what Christ bid His people, Watch and pray, Luke 21:36.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
That said, look at the exact words Matthew records Jesus teaching:
Matt 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

Newest UFO/UAP Report
I mentioned this back in post #671. Had no idea what would come out but, figured another nothingburger, which is the case.
It seems odd the UK Daily Mail has an exclusive on this report, especially given England's general denunciation of UFO's, just like the American government but, in this case, some "source" filled in some blanks and you can read it here -

Like everything else, blame it on the Russians or Chinese, just as clueless as American elected civil servants.
About the only thing to note as worthy news is that "whistleblowers" sharing information will be protected from problems created by the iron fence of NASA and the Pentagon.
No "October surprise" for certain. Just more of the same obfuscation.

If Satan worked with humans, as he certainly can do, has done, and will do again in various ways, to build such devices through private corporations, which crashed, and are being "back engineered" by the U.S. military, it is for weaponry of world domination, and the less Americans know, the better, as far as they are concerned. It not only represents power, it represents tremendous money because the military industrial complex will sell to anyone with the money to buy the technology.
"It beats your jets, Baby, so, pay up and it can be yours."
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
It seems odd the UK Daily Mail has an exclusive on this report, especially given England's general denunciation of UFO's, just like the American government but, in this case, some "source" filled in some blanks and you can read it here -

678. Does God Choose Governors? - November 6, 2022
I just watched a campaign ad for Florida's governor, Ron DeSantis. At first, it seemed well done, professionally speaking and had elements of heart tugging in it but, upon reflection, running an ad stating God chose you to be governor is pretty sanctimonious, which is probably why Donald Trump has now nicknamed DeSantis - "Ron DeSanctimonious." It's made a lot of Republicans angry. There is Ronald Reagan's well known 11th commandment, Thou shalt not speak ill of thy fellow Republican. For them, Trump has crossed a line.
One thing about Trump that became pretty clear early on. He hits back. If you leave him alone or if you support him, he's a friend for life. If you attack him in any way, he hits back hard. He does not turn the other cheek.
If you ask me, as a Bible believing Christian, if I believe God should be used as political capital, I would say, No. Decidedly, NO.
First, unless you use the word 'sanctimonious' often, you might not know its definition.
"1. making a show of being morally superior to other people"
Whoever put that ad together might even be a betrayer of DeSantis. It portrays him as God's gift to Florida. It just opens a door to ridicule.
Personally, the first time I heard DeSantis, interviewed on a radio talk show, maybe Limbaugh's program, he sounded like a man with common sense and he has apparently governed that way. Even political enemies have lauded him for his preparations and response to the aftermath of the hurricane. Preparedness for a hurricane is a far cry from being chosen by God to be a governor of a state in America.
That is not to say God is not involved in all aspects of human life, at whatever level and detail. God cares about the details of our lives. He wants us to trust Him in guiding our lives. To what extent we choose to do that is up to us. I must add, though, making God a Republican is foolishness. Stating God chose a particular man to be governor is foolishness. The more I think about it, the more offended I become.
If you read here often, you know I am against all versions of trying to state God chose Trump to be POTUS. There is zero evidence for that. In a day and age where main stream news will literally cut off someone who gives glory to God or Jesus Christ for things in their lives, using God for political purposes could even bring down judgment from God. Nothing about America right now is very righteous. Stating God chose you to be governor is reckless, to say the least.
Unless you have a prophet of the Lord telling you He has chosen you for a particular service and will be with you in any and every crisis that may come along, so have courage, fear not, it is the height of bombastic rhetoric to say, I am Ron DeSantis and I approve of this ad.
There is an apparent other reason for Trump's humorous hit. DeSantis will be the chosen candidate of the Republican party in 2024. Lots of money behind him, lots of RINO support, which may seem antithetical to DeSantis' MAGA positions. The thing is, D.C. GOP does not want Trump as POTUS again, period. Despite drawing tens of thousands to rallies, like some rock star, the party does not want Trump in office to even think about draining the swamp, which, if running and elected, will be a top priority. He will trust no one, with good reason. I'd expect him to be wearing brass knuckles next time around.
Of course, it remains to be seen if he runs, and is he does, no changes in voting systems will assure he loses, again. According to news reports I have been seeing headlines for, tremendous numbers of Democrats are leaving the party and becoming Independents or joining the GOP. A natural, Red Wave tsunami would happen, if not for an unnatural handling of tech voting machines. I hold out no hopes such a red wave will not be defeated again by criminal activity. One Democrat official in Detroit has apparently hired known thugs to be "poll watchers" for the election in two days. That suggests a heavy Red turnout will be met with intimidation.
All candidates might do well in every county in a state and yet, if counties with the largest cities vote for any candidate, a state election can be won, if you just get enough major cities on your side. That's why Kari lake may lose, if the voting systems of Arizona are not watched excruciatingly close every minute of every hour in the biog cities.
Anyway, back to God and politicians. The Bible certainly has things to say about God choosing kings for the nation of Israel but, that was a theocracy, not a republic or a democracy. It also has much to say about God taking down kings that turned the people away from God and into apostate minions.
The Bible says to honor a nation's leaders -
1Pe 2:13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
1Pe 2:14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
1Pe 2:15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
1Pe 2:16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
1Pe 2:17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
Of course, we bear in mind, there was no such thing as a Constitutional Republic with elements of Democracy in citizens choosing and electing leaders. Everything was a kingdom back then. Kings made so by birth into "royal family" lines or heroics in defeating armies in battles. America is not a kingdom, and broke away from all such rule. No kings, queens or potentates of any kind. To the contrary. We already know Peter said, "We ought to obey God rather than men," Acts 5:29 so, Peter's words in verse 13 of the passage need context. The fact is, many professed Christians use their liberty in Christ as a "cloke of maliciousness" towards politicians from both parties. Of course, we have Elijah mocking the priests of Baal on Mt. Carmel so, there are two sides to that coin, as well. Certainly John the Baptist did not honor king Herod in calling out his adultery. It cost him his head, too, literally. The Bible must always be allowed to interpret itself, Genesis to Revelation.
Rom 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
Rom 13:2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
Rom 13:3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
Rom 13:4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
Rom 13:5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
Rom 13:6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
Rom 13:7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
Power is ordained of God. Nobody has power or authority unless God allows it, for whatever purposes He understands from His eternal vantage point but, that principle is not permission from God for rulers to do evil. It used to be thought of that way - the rights of kings and all. No such principle holds true or could hold true in a constitutional republic or even a pure democracy. Especially in a nation with a Constitution that puts a check on political power can abuse of it become common, unless said constitution is just ignored and nobody or nothing rises up to stop it. God ordains civil authority to keep evil in check. The American nation was founded on the principle that if rulers are evil they must be rejected and/or removed, even if blood must be shed in war. The Declaration of Independence makes that perfectly plain:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, -- That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
"... accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
"In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
"We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."
That last paragraph, saturated with references to God, as the entire document is, could be used as a reason to remove the entire body of current politicians in D.C., mostly godless traitors to their oaths to protect the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Certainly Biden, in fiery rhetorical speeches of declaring a third of the American citizenry threats to democracy, and threatening them, gives reason to remove him for tyranny.
All Americans should reread the Declaration every year. It cannot be read and followed too much or too closely.
Both Trump and DeSantis can be given honor for the roles they have played thus far, in politics and governance, even if they have done things we might find grievous. There are no perfect politicians or civil servants. Trump and DeSantis seemed fairly close at one time. Obviously, not anymore. Trump knows what is happening in the party. He'll choose to run or not run, regardless. He has more live support than any politician in American history, for all intents and purposes. Even with the number of votes criminally given to him, he attained more votes than any presidential incumbent in American history in 2020. The swamp absolutely fears him and are doing everything they can to make him a felon so he can never run for office again. They love the Constitution when they can use it to further their aims. Otherwise, I consider them traitorous.
Biden grows worse by the week. He is mentally enfeebled. He should be removed. He should be impeached, actually. He's morally bankrupt, criminally involved with other nations, and derelict in presidential duties; who wrecks everything he touches. But, of course, he serves his purpose well for the controllers. Until he drops dead, they'll keep him around to do their bidding. The GOP with its current leaders, will never impeach him, even if they gain all the necessary seats in Congress.
DeSantis... it will be interesting to see how it all plays out. He is now an apparent pawn in the hands of GOP money. It's a business, after all, and he is now a commodity to stop Trump. Personally, I believe only Trump can stop Trump. I'm pretty certain you won't catch Trump running campaign ads about being chosen by God.
We'll see.
One thing about Trump that became pretty clear early on. He hits back. If you leave him alone or if you support him, he's a friend for life. If you attack him in any way, he hits back hard. He does not turn the other cheek.

Covid Amnesty?!?!
I have relented commenting on Emily Oster's article in the Atlantic magazine because it's just foul and ridiculous but, this may be the best reply to it out there. Commentary by political pundit, Neil Oliver -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m3yi82A8Zc&t=697s
Amnesty for perpetrators of the Covid event, still being perpetuated with appeals to receive the injections... good luck with that. Asking 7 billion people, half of which have been injected with a dangerous gene-editing serum, to just forgive the people who ruined millions of lives, killed untold numbers of people at this point, which shall get worse as time advances, may be the most ludicrous thing I have ever heard of.
Oliver begins his commentary about it around 2 minutes in.
I'll add this. Perhaps the most mind-blowingly, invasively intense response yet, to the event and injections, from Ted Nugent, in just a few seconds:

679. Vintage vs Modern - November 8, 2022
"Go Full Hybrid This Holiday Season!"
"Now is the time to Go Full Hybrid! The best of Hybrid shells in one Hybrid Kit. The maple/walnut bass drum paired with birch/walnut toms is our bold yet classic interpretation of today's modern drum sound. The birch toms deliver clear and punchy sounds while the maple bass drum produces a warm, round tone in the low end. Resulting in a redefined sonic identity that speaks to today's music scene." (emphasis mine)
I received an email this morning with that paragraph in the advertising. I won't mention the brand of drums. Mostly because it doesn't matter. Most of the companies use that kind of marketing and have for a many years now.
Before I comment, and you already know what I'm going to write, I watched a YT video a couple days ago, comparing vintage and modern drums. The link is below -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UO-KXo7B5ws
The guys at Drumeo seem like really nice fellows, and go about things with both passion and honesty, and even childlike wonder when it comes to drums and drumming. I'm not a member but, I've watched many of the YT videos, and this particular one hit all the check boxes for me on this subject of super-hype about manufactured drum shells.
Watch the video and you will hear three different guys try to pick out the sound of the vintage kits versus those of the modern kits. You will hear them listening very closely, having a difficult time, making their choices, if not guessing (though one guy mentions a bass drum gave it away very quickly for him). You hear the recording engineer mention the word "nuances" at least once.
The same player say behind each kit, six in all - 3 vintage, 3 modern - and played the same patterns. They had a tough enough time listening and choosing between soloed drums. Imagine how tough it would have been if a band was involved, and that is my point, and has been all along.
If someone wants to own a bunch of drum sets and set them up all over their house and play them and hear any nuances and subtleties that exist, set to set, so be it. Go for it. For all intents and purposes most players will own drums and play them to recordings they like, or just mess around on them from time to time. Most players who own the instruments are not in professional bands and that goes for all other instruments, as well. Most musicians are a hobbiest at one level or another. They may be weekend warriors, they may just get together with other musicians and have some fun. Do they need to spend big bucks to 'redefine' their 'sonic reality?' No, of course not. If they're in a dance club band or wedding band, keeping basic time for a gig, they have no defining of any sonic realities, at all. They'd be just as well served to have the most interesting drum set to look at in such settings, as any concern for sound. Nobody is paying attention to a player's sound. It's a drum set.
The obvious point is made so clear in the video it's really pretty telling. Drums are drums. Put the same heads on any set of drums, same room, same mics, etc., etc., and you'll hear sound so close, only nuances and subtleties exist, if at all, and my point has consistently been - once you put that drum set, any drum set in the context of a band, nuances and subtleties are masked, drowned out, overshadowed, or just pulverized. Any differences that may be heard up close, set to set, can be manipulated with all the recording tools and software used today, to totally change the sound of any drum set.
The ad mentions "low end." That is simply the touch of a mouse or changing heads. The ad mentions "clear and punchy." Same thing. Software manipulations, or live, sound reinforcement equipment, or head changes, does it all.
Shell wall density, shell depth, drum mounting, drum head choices and room acoustics will mean the most to the particular sound any drum throws off in the frequency spectrum a drum set occupies.
When 'Solos for Concept Drum Sets' is released, a body of recorded proof will exist that will challenge the efficacy of any brand's ultra-marketing hype about 'redefining sonic identity' because of drum shells: wood species used, glues, shell formation techniques, bearing edges, finishes, lugs, hardware, and all the rest.
This is not a knock against any brand's instruments. Everybody makes great drums today. Everybody; simply because competition requires it. The super-hype about shells and sound is what I aim at because it's all a marketing device to sell product, that's it. There is no intrinsic, audible reality to it. None that they even attempt to prove, themselves.
I get it. It's hard to sell drum sets in any economy, let alone the current one. What can you do or say to stand apart? Lots of money is spent for advertising companies to come up with things to grab attention. Telling drummers they will set themselves apart from the norm if they purchase this or that set of drums, because of how drum shells are made, is an incredible ruse. "Full hybrid!" What does that even mean? Drums shells have been hybrid for a century. Full hybrid as opposed to part hybrid? It's all just marketing words. That's the definitive sonic reality. Do it all "this Holiday Season." Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa is coming. Time for a new drum set, right? It's all marketing.
Watch for the 4th Concepts recording on my YouTube channel, and info I'll have on a page on the site, here. I believe you'll find it interesting and very revealing.
Stay tuned.
"Now is the time to Go Full Hybrid! The best of Hybrid shells in one Hybrid Kit. The maple/walnut bass drum paired with birch/walnut toms is our bold yet classic interpretation of today's modern drum sound. The birch toms deliver clear and punchy sounds while the maple bass drum produces a warm, round tone in the low end. Resulting in a redefined sonic identity that speaks to today's music scene." (emphasis mine)
I received an email this morning with that paragraph in the advertising. I won't mention the brand of drums. Mostly because it doesn't matter. Most of the companies use that kind of marketing and have for a many years now.
Before I comment, and you already know what I'm going to write, I watched a YT video a couple days ago, comparing vintage and modern drums. The link is below -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UO-KXo7B5ws
The guys at Drumeo seem like really nice fellows, and go about things with both passion and honesty, and even childlike wonder when it comes to drums and drumming. I'm not a member but, I've watched many of the YT videos, and this particular one hit all the check boxes for me on this subject of super-hype about manufactured drum shells.
Watch the video and you will hear three different guys try to pick out the sound of the vintage kits versus those of the modern kits. You will hear them listening very closely, having a difficult time, making their choices, if not guessing (though one guy mentions a bass drum gave it away very quickly for him). You hear the recording engineer mention the word "nuances" at least once.
The same player say behind each kit, six in all - 3 vintage, 3 modern - and played the same patterns. They had a tough enough time listening and choosing between soloed drums. Imagine how tough it would have been if a band was involved, and that is my point, and has been all along.
If someone wants to own a bunch of drum sets and set them up all over their house and play them and hear any nuances and subtleties that exist, set to set, so be it. Go for it. For all intents and purposes most players will own drums and play them to recordings they like, or just mess around on them from time to time. Most players who own the instruments are not in professional bands and that goes for all other instruments, as well. Most musicians are a hobbiest at one level or another. They may be weekend warriors, they may just get together with other musicians and have some fun. Do they need to spend big bucks to 'redefine' their 'sonic reality?' No, of course not. If they're in a dance club band or wedding band, keeping basic time for a gig, they have no defining of any sonic realities, at all. They'd be just as well served to have the most interesting drum set to look at in such settings, as any concern for sound. Nobody is paying attention to a player's sound. It's a drum set.
The obvious point is made so clear in the video it's really pretty telling. Drums are drums. Put the same heads on any set of drums, same room, same mics, etc., etc., and you'll hear sound so close, only nuances and subtleties exist, if at all, and my point has consistently been - once you put that drum set, any drum set in the context of a band, nuances and subtleties are masked, drowned out, overshadowed, or just pulverized. Any differences that may be heard up close, set to set, can be manipulated with all the recording tools and software used today, to totally change the sound of any drum set.
The ad mentions "low end." That is simply the touch of a mouse or changing heads. The ad mentions "clear and punchy." Same thing. Software manipulations, or live, sound reinforcement equipment, or head changes, does it all.

Vote Count Will Take Days???
As everybody and their brother has warned, the fix is in, the fraud is coast to coast, the criminals have free reign, and America is obviously no longer a nation that is a Constitutional Republic the runs by the rule of law.
Biden has already said it. Democrat candidates are saying it. News Networks are saying it. The vote tabulations will take days.
We ask - How is it, when votes were all checked boxes on paper, the nation knew that night? Now, with all this computerized technology, it takes days to count votes? No. It takes days for Corporate powers, Deep Sate and Democrat criminals to steal elections. They have too many fraudulent ballots to truck in, in the wee hours of the morning. They have too much hacking to do and all that other felonious activity.
You can't hack paper ballots signed at precincts. You can't add to paper ballots filled out by individuals at precincts. You need extra days to do all that.
America is reaping what it has sown. I expect to wake up tomorrow and find that key states are locked in battle over their entire voting systems, as "glitches" are already being reported in precincts around the nation. I expect Democrats to have retained power. Therefore, I expect an increase in the debauchery that is Washington, D.C. and America's, major, Democrat-run cities and states. I am not discounting Americans who listened to and believed the lies they were told by candidates who stabbed them in the back. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. There's plenty of shame to go around.
It's war. Make no mistake about it, and rabid Leftists will fight dirty until they are locked up and shut down.
I'm not holding my breath.

And There You Have It
When I woke up about ten minutes ago, I was thinking, How sad it is that adults tell children not to cheat in school or in life and Democrats, with no foundation or source for morality but, their own opinions and choices, can literally tell the nation they are going to steal elections, do it, and just keep rolling along as though it is all for a good cause. You have no message, nothing the majority of Americans want, the polls and surveys are decidedly against you, and yet, when morning comes you have won elections all across the nation, in the wee hours of the morning, just like they told us. They are the worst cheaters, amoral criminals, factually, and with a corrupt justice department, nothing will happen to them because America is gone.
When Democrat, John Fetterman, a stroke victim, a man who can hardly form a sentence or give a coherent thought, tells us he will win his Pennsylvania Senate seat election in comeback victory overnight, telling Americans exactly what was going to happen, there should be no surprise this person of intellectual and social mishap ends up a United States Senator.
My usual first news site to hit on a any given day is Gateway Pundit. There opening headline today, at 12:45 a.m.:
BLOOD MOON BLOODBATH… Democrats Steal Midterms, Communism Comes Home to America… Crime, Inflation, Record Gas Prices, War, Open Borders and Corruption WIN BIG
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/11/blood-moon-blood-bath-democrats-steal-midterms-communism-comes-america-crime-inflation-record-gas-prices-war-open-borders-corruption-wins-big/
I was not surprised at all. How could I be? Leftism is morally bankrupt, Leftists control America, they are trying to control the world. They have no challengers they need fear. They run the money, they run the technology, they run media, they run governments, ONLY GOD CAN STOP THEM. Aside from that, without that, humanity is in for a world of hurt, literally.
UPDATE: States like the current Florida, are too few and far between. It held the line on voter fraud and corruption but, now watch Democrats and Leftists start yelling voter fraud won the night for Republicans.
Kari lake, ahead by double digits in most state and national polls taken of likely AZ voters, does not know who won the governorship yet. The problems in AZ are stacked to the ceiling. As citizens ask how can this happen over and over again, when you have two to four years to fix things, they are beginning to realize the problems are built into the system.
There should have been a Red Wave, if not a tsunami. It has not come. Why? There are only two possible answers. Fraud and/or America has gone Leftist, Socialist, Communist, stark raving mad.
And do not forget. Just because the Republicans are holding seats and picking up a few in the house or a couple in the senate, does not mean much of anything when the GOP is not that far behind Democrats when it comes to lack of principle and integrity. Nobody needs to get excited over a Red map when the Republicans can only shoot themselves in their feet over and over again, decade after decade; showing their own brand of corruption in all their top level appointments in the party.
It's all a corruption show.

680. Nothing Left to Comment On - November 10, 2022
Waking up this morning brought no changes of any significance to the criminal event that was November 8th. It just brought more of the same. Actually, worse.
Reports of ballot mishandling, mostly, pushed Democrat candidates into win positions in the critical races they felt necessity to be victorious in. The worst part is the GOP/RINO cowardice to address it all. That probably means they have as much criminal activity with voting machines over the years to just look the other way with the newer ballot schemes pushed on the nation because of Covid, also pushed on the nation by a cabal determined to gain control, no matter what. The election cycle has been hiding much of the ghastly figures associated with Covid injection adverse reactions and deaths. Now, more and more will the numbers press down on America's hopes for accountability and responsibility to deal with the perpetrators. In this, much can be assumed has all been planned this way. Americans must be brought to despondency it cannot rise from. The control factor always sides with the evil when that takes place.
So, what is left to comment on? The most important race to gain victory in was AZ's gubernatorial race. It was a movement, not just a political contest. Kari Lake seems sure she will emerge victorious when all the votes are counted, all 600,000 of them mishandled by nefarious machine failure, again. Maybe she will emerge victorious. Probably not. No doubt she won and won big but, without a legislature committed to the rule of law and honest elections, singular voices will not make sure vote counting from their debacle of machine problems, far more than likely all planned, goes through, backed by integrity and justice. No. Corruption is in control. Cowardice cannot stop it.
Donald Trump endorsed hundreds of candidates. Apparently, less than half the number he endorsed, won. It would seem, though he can draw tens of thousands to rallies, tens of millions no longer want Trump involved in politics. If they are Trump/MAGA candidates, that is not the same thing as being endorsed by the RINO billionaires who backed DeSantis and already, both RINO Republicans and main stream media are stating he will be the GOP's candidate in 2024. They waste no time with their narrative.
It is ironic that MAGA involves the original principles of Americanism: personal responsibility. Trump has never taken any responsibility for fast-tracking and pushing the injections, now causing untold suffering around the world. That says a lot.
Maybe it has always been this way for my lifetime. Not the tech side of voting but, the dishonest, money-driven, to hell with the Constitution and rule of law attitude in politics. Technology has just made it easier to cheat and maintain criminal activity for control.
Seeing it is all pretty much a cauldron of swamp now, and only God could clean it out, and it looks like He is going to let the corruption ride, just like Noah's day, just like ancient Israel's time, just like the rise of both pagan and Papal Rome, and for the last century, the American empire's corruptions, there is nothing left to comment on. It's all a repetition. Freedom, complacency, tyranny, revival. That is the basic cycle. So, now we will experience tyranny such as we have never known in America and someday, revival will come, and the cycle will repeat itself again, unless... .
Prophecy will yet come to pass. That cannot be stopped. Delays? Oh, yes. Far too often down through history but, the time comes when things fall into place and the major events and changes and fulfillments burst on the human scene. America's role in Bible prophecy will happen. The current delay is a church matter, as it most always is. If God is going to raise up champions, they will not be people like Donald Trump. If he had some kind of role, and with the Covid event, still happening, while he is still endorsing the injections, I have never had anywhere close to full confidence in the man, even politically speaking.
God chooses men and women to start things, to ignite courage and revival, and many thought Trump was this round's choice. Foolishness but, were there any in Christianity who could ignite any fires of revival and reformation? No. Certainly not the various leaders in professed Christendom today. There are no rising stars of a Reformation out there, to be seen. No pastors, no evangelists, no definitive trumpets, nothing much for God to work with to stop apostasy or start righteous movement of revival and reformation.
I understand those who want to save America from corrupt politicians and government. Especially if it can be shown America has a prophetic destiny, and without freedom and liberty it was born with, it will not fulfill that destiny. It can only fulfill it's destiny when it has a union of church and state; apostate Protestantism and Catholicism, which will stand against the law of God in that union and process. A control factor of secular humanism is a detour, to be sure. Do not fall into the Futurism trap. Satan will play out that side of prophetic lies with great detail. That does not make it true fulfillment of God's prophecy. It just means the field is blank and Satan can pull off anything without resistance. He has had those times down through history to work with. Futurism is his counterfeit.
A false revival of all power, signs and lying wonders will come. It's prophesied. It will happen. I just believe by observation that time is now past. I wish I was wrong, very wrong but, the conditions and circumstances that existed in the 1880's and 1980's are not close to happening now.
There are some possibilities but, I've mentioned them before, and repeating them is just more hopefulness than anything else. It is now a time of maintaining in delay, which is very difficult to do, admittedly so. Israel normally fell in those times. The ancient church dissolved into small factions in groves and mountains and villages during the dark ages. The Reformation fought with itself, as much as against the Papal apostasy it was risen to declare truth against, and factions developed, and today, the Protestant Reformation is not even a shadow of its former self. In some ways, that is more prophetic and plays into how last-day events will conclude but, at the same time, true Protestantism has no, real, visible champions to inspire the current or a new generation.
The wheels of prophecy will continue to slowly turn as they have generation after generation but, the fast- working movements, I cannot say I believe they are here. They were. I proclaimed them in public seminars for years. They were so easy to see and match up to a fill capacity of prophetic statements in the clear Word of God.
It is now back to Tytler's cycle. In his detailed observance:
From Bondage to Moral Certitude (Spiritual Faith); From Moral Certitude to Great Courage; From Courage to Liberty; From Liberty to Abundance; From Abundance to Selfishness; From Selfishness to Complacency; From Complacency to Apathy; From Apathy to Dependence; From Dependence back into Bondage.
God help us.

48% University Students OK with Death Penalty for "Hate" Speech
What's your definition of "hate" speech? I have mentioned it before that back in the 90's, on my radio program up North, during the Clinton years, I commented how the time would come when a "hate" crime would become hate speech, and ultimately, hate thought would rare an ugly, ridiculous head in American society. Well, it's here and has been for some years now, and it's getting worse.
A recent survey of some university students found that:
67% demand professors and companies declare a commitment to “diversity.”
48% are OK with the death penalty to punish those accused of hate speech.
51% agree that colleges can bar some issues from being discussed.
33% prefer socialism, 33% capitalism, and 35% are unsure.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/faith-freedom-self-reliance/college-kids-turn-more-liberal-ok-speech-death-penalty
Almost half of students surveyed believe it is okay to take the life of someone guilty of hate speech.
BTW, 33+33+35=101. It's either a typo are someone thinks there can be 101% of something.
Let's step back some. At one time, students demanded free speech on campuses to raise protest for wars, for government waste, for whales and insects and birds and trees, and you name it; college students wanted the freedom to speak out about it. Frankly, today? Good grief, the world is going mad. The hypocrisy is bad enough but, Americans must ask themselves, especially American parents, what are they paying money for their kids to be so indoctrinated with that half of them believe people can be tried and killed for saying something these radical young Leftists don't want to hear? Of course, the parents are radical Leftists, too, in so many cases.
I feel bad for my daughters. I don't have any grandchildren yet but, if I did, I'd really be sorry for the world they will face and have to deal with.
Jesus said lawlessness (abounding iniquity: Grk -"anomia" - illegality, violation of law), would be a sign of the times, Matt. 24:12. Well, there has always been lawbreaking and people who could care less about laws but, lawlessness is not a condition that can maintain a civilization. Right now, as I type, Democrats are literally stealing elections from as many Trump supported/MAGA candidates as possible. The coast to coast news of what began happening on election day just told the story of what was coming. Shameless, unconscionable, brazen criminal activity and to look at the mainstream news, or even alternative news sites, it is all just turn the head, shut up, say nothing, let it ride, Trump must become history and any of his supporters must be stopped to save the Democracy BUT, IT US NOT A DEMOCRACY. The Leftists and RINOs want it to be. They want majority rule for everything and so, they teach it, and the younger generations are now thinking it would be just fine to take the lives of people who speak "hate," however they define it. NOT IN A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC that guarantees freedom of speech.
This is the lawlessness Christ prophesied. A world of lunacy on parade, where everything right becomes wrong, and wrong becomes acceptable.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Well, there has always been lawbreaking and people who could care less about laws but, lawlessness is not a condition that can maintain a civilization. Right now, as I type, Democrats are literally stealing elections from as many Trump supported/MAGA candidates as possible. The coast to coast news of what began happening on election day just told the story of what was coming. Shameless, unconscionable, brazen criminal activity and to look at the mainstream news, or even alternative news sites, it is all just turn the head, shut up, say nothing, let it ride, Trump must become history and any of his supporters must be stopped to save the Democracy BUT, IT US NOT A DEMOCRACY. The Leftists and RINOs want it to be. They want majority rule for everything and so, they teach it, and the younger generations are now thinking it would be just fine to take the lives of people who speak "hate," however they define it. NOT IN A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC that guarantees freedom of speech.
This is the lawlessness Christ prophesied. A world of lunacy on parade, where everything right becomes wrong, and wrong becomes acceptable.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Scientists Say, Prepare For "ET"
"Prepare for alien encounter now before it's too late, warn scientists"
"Team at University of St Andrews says Earth needs to work on communicating with extraterrestrials as first contact could happen any day
"Aliens could get in touch tomorrow and we must know what to say to them, scientists have warned, as they launched a new research hub to prepare humanity for first contact...."
“Will we ever get a message from E.T.? We don’t know,” he continued. “We also don’t know when this is going to happen. But we do know that we cannot afford to be ill-prepared — scientifically, socially and politically rudderless — for an event that could turn into reality as early as tomorrow and which we cannot afford to mismanage.”

This story is all over the web. At one time this story would have been chalked up to off the wall nerdnicks and crazies. Today? Not so much.
I remain convinced "ET" will be part of Satan's last-day deceptions. How? Don't know but, far more than a discovery of microbial life somewhere out there.
While the U.S. government seems to be backing away from admissions made for several years now, that's government. Other entities are trying to get in gear for what they believe is a given. Life is out there, more advanced, and could show up here anytime, if they aren't here already. The UFO community agrees.
The Christian community, well, mostly the evangelical wing of Christendom, rejects the notion there is intelligent life beyond Earth. Other portions of the Christian faith have no problem, biblical or otherwise, that intelligent life exists.
Time will tell, sooner or later.

Let's Talk About Greece
After his conversion, the apostle Paul did a lot of evangelism in Asia Minor. He went through many Greek cities and towns and saw tremendous soul winning take place. In essence, he saw the transformation of his then- known world.
Col 1:23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
In 30 years, no tech, no printing, no cars, planes or trains, Paul stated the Gospel had been heard by every person under Heaven. Quite an accomplishment, and Greece was a very influential nation in that progress.
Of course, Greece these days is far different than Paul's day. I generally think of my friends Manos and Kostas, and their reissue of From the Fjords back in 2019. It seems impossible more than three years have passed.
Greece is a troubled nation. Lots of problems. Greece was once a mecca of freedom. Philosophers spoke of it constantly. The desire, the need to be free. To be free to think, speak and live. Socrates was a great leader of principles of freedom.
Today? No, Greece is not a place of freedoms as once lived experienced there.

He wrote that God created Adam and Eve. The first book of the Bible. The Bible; that source of literature and guidance that changed the nation of Greece and all others in Europe, is now not allowed to be quoted if it offends certain sectors of Greek society.
A sign of the times? Of course. It can be seen as nothing else.
Jesus Christ is returning to a world that is swiftly losing its way, again.
May it be very soon.

681. The Pope Speaks to Muslims - November 12, 2022
Babylon. The Joining of Religious Confusion
Here are the opening words to an article I read some days ago:
"ROME — Pope Francis told Muslim elders in Bahrain Friday that God is the source of peace and he “never brings about war, never incites hatred, never supports violence.”
“I have come among you as a believer in God, as a brother and as a pilgrim of peace,” the pontiff told the Muslim Council of Elders, so that “we can journey together.”
https://www.breitbart.com/faith/2022/11/05/pope-francis-muslim-elders-god-never-incites-hatred-never-supports-violence/
Is the Pope correct? No. Not if the Bible has anything to say about it.
God never brings about war? I would not argue the point God never wanted His ancient people to engage in warfare. He told them He would send in the wind, hornets, whatever necessary to bring down His enemies who filled the cup of their iniquity. Unfortunately, the Hebrews only saw war all around them. Egypt fought wars. For 400 years of captivity in Egypt, that nation fought its wars. War was the way of the world and obviously, it still is. The Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks and Romans fought constant wars. Centuries of wars. Does God delight in war? No, of course not. God wants peace to reign on Earth. That said, because of the Hebrews dullness and not seeing the light shed upon them, God sent His people to war and if His people obeyed, they defeated enemy after enemy, suffering no losses. When they disobeyed, they suffered grave defeat. The Old Testament is filled with war. Wars that God told His people to fight and guided them in their battles and fought for them, and they took the land God promised them.
What about the New Testament. The words of Christ:
Luke 22:35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
Luke 22:36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
Luke 22:37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.
Luke 22:38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.
Purse = money for necessities
Scrip = a Pouch for carrying provisions, like food.
Sword = They were being sent out into a world of wild animals, robbers, and other dangers. It is lawful to defend oneself.
Nothing Jesus said could be used to start a war but, if a nation, a people, are attacked, they have every right to defend themselves.
The Pope said, God does not incite hatred. Well, look a little deeper.
Psa 11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
Pro 6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
Pro 6:17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
Pro 6:18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
Pro 6:19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
While it certainly can be said God loves all people - because Jesus died for all people - looks, tongues, hands, minds, feet and mouths are attached to people, part of people. To say God does not hate what people do, is erroneous. If they do not repent, they are joined to their sin; they become sin. God hates sin.
Ecc 3:8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
According to the inspired author, Solomon, the son of King David, there is a time to hate and a time of war.
The Pope said, God never supports violence.
Violence
noun
1. behaviour involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something
Damage?
John 2:13 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
John 2:14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
John 2:15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
John 2:16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
John 2:17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
When Christ cursed the fig tree as an object lesson of the spiritual fruitlessness of the Jews, the tree did die.
God destroyed the entire world through the most violent act the world has ever experienced: the global deluge. God dropped people into the Earth. He judged kings to be worthy of quick, intense death. When Jesus returns it will be an extremely violent event, preceded by violent plagues, including the seventh: 150 lb. hailstones that will destroy everything standing, including all human life. The rescue of God's people from a world bent on shedding their blood will cause mountains to sink into the Earth. It will be a horrifically violent, end of the world as we now know it, event.
There is righteous violence. That cannot be sidestepped. It cannot be ignored, nor done away with, with fancy speeches and faux brotherhood. For Muslims, violence is a part of their religion, not left to Allah but, to be a judgment upon the "infidels" of this world, meted out by them, as they plan to erect another caliphate; an empire that shall rule the Earth. They even mete out such judgment on people of their own faith they consider heretics and apostates, very much like Catholicism. When the Pope lectures them about their religious practices, he is talking about his own church. The only reason said war, hatred and violence does not take place now is because Rome has no such power or control as she once had, for centuries. When she regains such power, as prophecy predicts she will, said persecutions will commence, again.
Frankly, I'd have to believe while the Muslims sat there politely and listened to the Pope, they had to be thinking, Not only does this man not know his own Scriptures but, he certainly does not knows ours.
Covid 19, all of it, every tentacle and branch, will be responsible for more violence on the human race in the shortest period of world history ever seen. We have only just begun to see the results of that devilish, hellish plan. There is no possible way the intelligence community of the Vatican is unaware of everything happening as a result of the man-made virus, the curse of the lockdowns and masks and corrupt hospital policies and doctors, and especially the building human catastrophe of the gene editing injection serums. Untold suffering and death has been pushed upon the entire human race, an unprecedented event. Yet, the Pope remains silent on this most violent attack on humanity. Why? Is "Mother" part of it? That would be no surprise to me or any true Protestant who knows the history of the Roman Catholic Church.
The Roman Catholic Church is responsible for more violence perpetuated upon free peoples in all the Western Hemisphere down through its time of dominance, than any other entity. It has waged "Holy wars," stated its hatred for Protestantism and Protestants, as well as Muslims, century after century in pen and voice. It supported the Inquisition, the Satanic tribunal to root out all "heresy" as she deemed it so.
The Pope is a hypocrite beyond measure. Yes, yes, both John Paul II and Francis have 'apologized' for past church "indiscretions" and "mistakes" and even "sins" she has admitted to. They will sit down and talk to all world leaders, both religious and secular. That said, No "saint" whose writings bear witness to those indiscretions, mistakes and sins as church practice, has ever been denounced as wrong. To the contrary. Their writings and affect on people are what made them "saints" to begin with. Their writings are still sold in Catholic bookstores, where I have purchased them. Romanism is a hypocrisy, and I'd imagine Muslims know that. All the missions, the orphanages, the hospitals, and everything run by the Roman Church cannot possibly make up for her past. She remains "antechristos," by her own charge - "in place of Christ."
"Babylon is fallen, is fallen because she made all nations drink of the wine of her fornication," Rev 14:8.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

682. You Must Be Unhappy - November 12, 2022
When I write about a desire for Jesus to return soon, understanding what comes with it; the end of the world, people say, "You want the end of the world to come? You must be very unhappy."
In actual fact, my life is no party but, it has nothing to do with me.
Look at what just happened. 75% of Americans are unhappy with the way things are, believe the nation is heading in the wrong direction, and are generally disgusted with Washington, D.C. and local politics ruining their lives. Democrats are leaving the party, including Democrat politicians. It is not the party of John F. Kennedy. Not even close. And yet you want me to believe Americans voted to keep Democrats in power? Donald Trump can consistently gather tens of thousands to his rallies (while Joe Biden can't fill a gymnasium, as the world laughs at him), and you want me to believe Americans are so sick and tired of him they went out of their way to vote for the very people who created this mess, so to make their lives more miserable and tough?
There is no doubt in my mind, none, that a red wave took place and was, is being shortchanged by Democrat fraud, helped by Republican apostasy, both being so filled with Trump Derangement Syndrome, they will destroy the nation before they allow that man or his supporters control of the country. They specifically attacked regions and precincts where MAGA candidates were running. The growing list of computer and machine "glitches," lights going off, ballot dumps in the middle of the night, it's a daily parade of corruption and it has become the norm. Democrats cheat, Republicans look the other way, Deep State threatens people, the justice department is thoroughly corrupt, and this is now life for Americans. This is life for the world. Please, do not ask me to throw out my common sense and logic in the face of a river of crap overflowing the banks of reason.
The world is not getting better. It has its moments of respite but, it is, by design, getting worse. It is not about me. It's about the suffering that is going to get worse with the corruption. With the suffering will come more upheavals, violence, wars, death and destruction, which will increase the heavy hands of totalitarianism. Dystopianism is coming. 1984 is inching ever closer to full domination. Lunatics run the world. Many of them are avowed Satanists, Luciferian disciples of darkness.
The Bible states it point blank. Satan is the ruler, the god of this world. He cannot be stopped by mankind. God allows evil to build to show the universe and mankind what the entirety of it would be like if Satan's desire to be like the Most High and run things was entrenched.
I want Jesus to return and end the nightmare, regardless of what colors, sights and sounds remain in this dying world. And make no mistake, the world is dying. It's wearing out under the curse of sin. You can stop fossil fuel use in every nation. What do you think is going to happen when all the dead batteries for all the vehicles they want to force upon mankind get dumped into the land fills and the oceans with all the rest of the mountains of trash the world makes? You cannot stop madness. If God is rejected, if truth is rejected, madness results. There are no other alternatives.
"Come, let us reason together saith the LORD." If man will not reason with God, man loses the ability to reason and becomes exceptionally unreasonable.
Do you want child trafficking to increase? Do you want Fentanyl and other drugs killing more and more kids? Do you want to see more child abuse, more spousal abuse, more wretchedness of sickness and death? What? You think this is all going away? Are you serious? What could possibly give you such an impression and belief?
Why do you think the second coming of Christ is called "the Blessed Hope?" It is the only hope, and it will leave the world in ruins and destruction as evil continues to build towards its natural end. The god of this world thrives on darkness and destruction. "Darkness covers the Earth and gross darkness the people." Lucifer revels in this quagmire of wickedness he has created with fallen mankind. This is the only reason for his existence now: take down as many of God's people as possible. Anything that causes God pain, anything that brings heartache to His Son, is the agenda; the only agenda. He knows He cannot win. He's already lost. He lost at Calvary. He lost at the moment Christ said, It is finished. He lost at the moment the stone rolled away and Christ resurrected from death. He is growing more and more crazy with anger and contempt for his Creator. The multitudes of angels which followed him in his rebellion grow more and more wicked in their imaginations and designs to bring catastrophe upon this world. Why wouldn't you want Jesus to return asap? What do you think you can do or accomplish that will merit your place on Earth? The most important work is God's work; the proclamation of the everlasting Gospel. Everything else is a blip behind that. Oh, you may invent some knew device that can heal. The only problem is volume of humanity that will more and more need healing. But, you are not going to invent a "Tricorder." You are not going to invent a machine that heals all wounds. There is not enough time.
Indeed, technology will exponentially advance, as it has been. So, too, will pain and suffering advance. So, too, will the Earth continue "to wax old as a garment." Sooner or later, someone is going to drop a nuke on an enemy. Sooner or later a war to end all wars will be fought if Jesus does not return. Is that what you want? More war? More death? More destruction? More hopelessness?
Yes, I want Jesus Christ, the Creator and Saviour of the world, to return to it and end the nightmare. Evil increases, just as it was in the days of Noah, and Sodom and Gomorrah.
I have a fantastic photo on my desktop. It's a nighttime photo of Northern lights with two people sitting out on the snow, lights in their tents, a red folding chair set up, and the combination of colors and intensity of light is amazing. Well, Northern lights are because of sun ejections and scientists tell us sooner or later big ones, beyond anything we have known, are going to come and the possibility of life being sent back into the dark ages is very real. The same can be said for volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and all the rest. These are potential extinction events. Meteoroids or comets. Real, naturally formed illnesses or worse, the escape or determined release of things a thousand times worse than Covid. What makes you think none of this can happen and reduce life to abject survival?
No, you can keep your little world of whatever it is in daily rounds and stuff you do that makes life worthwhile for you. I am thinking of the realities of sin and its powers to bring life on Earth to an end. The end is going to come. It cannot be avoided. Christ will come and rescue His people from the madness developing into a final death decree placed upon God's kingdom inhabitants. That's reality. Fulfilled prophecy proves its ability to completely take place as God states it will.
I'm not so unhappy I want Jesus to return. I am so tired of constant evil, I want Christ to return.
Those who believe imagine what awaits those who love God and are called according to His purpose. No more suffering, no more pain, no more death. Eyes have not seen, nor has it entered into man's mind just what awaits those who love the Lord.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
In actual fact, my life is no party but, it has nothing to do with me.
Look at what just happened. 75% of Americans are unhappy with the way things are, believe the nation is heading in the wrong direction, and are generally disgusted with Washington, D.C. and local politics ruining their lives. Democrats are leaving the party, including Democrat politicians. It is not the party of John F. Kennedy. Not even close. And yet you want me to believe Americans voted to keep Democrats in power? Donald Trump can consistently gather tens of thousands to his rallies (while Joe Biden can't fill a gymnasium, as the world laughs at him), and you want me to believe Americans are so sick and tired of him they went out of their way to vote for the very people who created this mess, so to make their lives more miserable and tough?
There is no doubt in my mind, none, that a red wave took place and was, is being shortchanged by Democrat fraud, helped by Republican apostasy, both being so filled with Trump Derangement Syndrome, they will destroy the nation before they allow that man or his supporters control of the country. They specifically attacked regions and precincts where MAGA candidates were running. The growing list of computer and machine "glitches," lights going off, ballot dumps in the middle of the night, it's a daily parade of corruption and it has become the norm. Democrats cheat, Republicans look the other way, Deep State threatens people, the justice department is thoroughly corrupt, and this is now life for Americans. This is life for the world. Please, do not ask me to throw out my common sense and logic in the face of a river of crap overflowing the banks of reason.
The world is not getting better. It has its moments of respite but, it is, by design, getting worse. It is not about me. It's about the suffering that is going to get worse with the corruption. With the suffering will come more upheavals, violence, wars, death and destruction, which will increase the heavy hands of totalitarianism. Dystopianism is coming. 1984 is inching ever closer to full domination. Lunatics run the world. Many of them are avowed Satanists, Luciferian disciples of darkness.
The Bible states it point blank. Satan is the ruler, the god of this world. He cannot be stopped by mankind. God allows evil to build to show the universe and mankind what the entirety of it would be like if Satan's desire to be like the Most High and run things was entrenched.
I want Jesus to return and end the nightmare, regardless of what colors, sights and sounds remain in this dying world. And make no mistake, the world is dying. It's wearing out under the curse of sin. You can stop fossil fuel use in every nation. What do you think is going to happen when all the dead batteries for all the vehicles they want to force upon mankind get dumped into the land fills and the oceans with all the rest of the mountains of trash the world makes? You cannot stop madness. If God is rejected, if truth is rejected, madness results. There are no other alternatives.
"Come, let us reason together saith the LORD." If man will not reason with God, man loses the ability to reason and becomes exceptionally unreasonable.
Do you want child trafficking to increase? Do you want Fentanyl and other drugs killing more and more kids? Do you want to see more child abuse, more spousal abuse, more wretchedness of sickness and death? What? You think this is all going away? Are you serious? What could possibly give you such an impression and belief?
Why do you think the second coming of Christ is called "the Blessed Hope?" It is the only hope, and it will leave the world in ruins and destruction as evil continues to build towards its natural end. The god of this world thrives on darkness and destruction. "Darkness covers the Earth and gross darkness the people." Lucifer revels in this quagmire of wickedness he has created with fallen mankind. This is the only reason for his existence now: take down as many of God's people as possible. Anything that causes God pain, anything that brings heartache to His Son, is the agenda; the only agenda. He knows He cannot win. He's already lost. He lost at Calvary. He lost at the moment Christ said, It is finished. He lost at the moment the stone rolled away and Christ resurrected from death. He is growing more and more crazy with anger and contempt for his Creator. The multitudes of angels which followed him in his rebellion grow more and more wicked in their imaginations and designs to bring catastrophe upon this world. Why wouldn't you want Jesus to return asap? What do you think you can do or accomplish that will merit your place on Earth? The most important work is God's work; the proclamation of the everlasting Gospel. Everything else is a blip behind that. Oh, you may invent some knew device that can heal. The only problem is volume of humanity that will more and more need healing. But, you are not going to invent a "Tricorder." You are not going to invent a machine that heals all wounds. There is not enough time.
Indeed, technology will exponentially advance, as it has been. So, too, will pain and suffering advance. So, too, will the Earth continue "to wax old as a garment." Sooner or later, someone is going to drop a nuke on an enemy. Sooner or later a war to end all wars will be fought if Jesus does not return. Is that what you want? More war? More death? More destruction? More hopelessness?
Yes, I want Jesus Christ, the Creator and Saviour of the world, to return to it and end the nightmare. Evil increases, just as it was in the days of Noah, and Sodom and Gomorrah.
I have a fantastic photo on my desktop. It's a nighttime photo of Northern lights with two people sitting out on the snow, lights in their tents, a red folding chair set up, and the combination of colors and intensity of light is amazing. Well, Northern lights are because of sun ejections and scientists tell us sooner or later big ones, beyond anything we have known, are going to come and the possibility of life being sent back into the dark ages is very real. The same can be said for volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and all the rest. These are potential extinction events. Meteoroids or comets. Real, naturally formed illnesses or worse, the escape or determined release of things a thousand times worse than Covid. What makes you think none of this can happen and reduce life to abject survival?
No, you can keep your little world of whatever it is in daily rounds and stuff you do that makes life worthwhile for you. I am thinking of the realities of sin and its powers to bring life on Earth to an end. The end is going to come. It cannot be avoided. Christ will come and rescue His people from the madness developing into a final death decree placed upon God's kingdom inhabitants. That's reality. Fulfilled prophecy proves its ability to completely take place as God states it will.
I'm not so unhappy I want Jesus to return. I am so tired of constant evil, I want Christ to return.
Those who believe imagine what awaits those who love God and are called according to His purpose. No more suffering, no more pain, no more death. Eyes have not seen, nor has it entered into man's mind just what awaits those who love the Lord.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

683. Full UAP Report Overdue - Nov. 12, 2022
On October 31st a 20 page report was handed to various government committees requesting it or noted to read it. It was another "nothing burger:" quite expected in the UFOlogy community. A new Congressional Bill is being addressed, with the implanting of yet another federal agency to oversee the situation. I mentioned before the Bill contains protections for "whistleblowers." There are those who would come forward and tell what they know, they just don't want any blowback from the Pentagon or Deep State. Who can blame them?
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena continues to maintain a solid exposure around the world by virtue of billions of people looking up more and owning cell phones. I go to dozens of various YT channels each week to see what's new. Aside from all the dots and lights and orbs in the sky, which I don't bother watching, there are far too many videos of solid objects with various shapes that remain outside the general public's knowledge of identifiable aircraft and the usual military flares, weather balloons, bird flocks and swamp gas explanations.
Why the Report should be overdue has no decent explanation. The general public has yet to get the abbreviated version of the 31st report. This new version for committee inspection is well over 100 pages long. One commenter stated it's 128 pages. They got that from a "source."
What's the gig? Again, there are things zipping around up there, photographed, filmed, caught on video for decades. And it isn't just in Earth's atmosphere. No, no. It's in shots of the moon and NASA photos of other planets and moons, as well. Things that seem to slip by them, which enthusiasts magnify the heck out of and show physical craft hovering above astronauts, floating above one surface or another, are many. Then there is the cache of NASA ISS feeds with things floating in view or zipping by, that NASA cuts the cameras to. Too late, though. People keep record of those feeds, 24/7. The number of eyes watching amounts to so many people now, NASA can't get away with much, anymore, including things being seen on Mars. No joke. While some of it is obvious pareidolia, as far as I'm concerned, some of it is quite eyebrow raising and jaw dropping.
When you boil away the hoaxes, the identifiable, the CGI, the drones, the natural causes, you are left with thousands upon thousands upon thousands of items of evidence, and much of that is group testimony, as well. The existence of these objects cannot be denied, and it's been that way for eight decades. Government disinformation and misinformation campaigns have just kept most of it in the Crackerjack box category for most citizens.
Why the secrecy from government? Why the obfuscation? Why the denials? Why the stonewalling? They don't want to upset people of religious faith? Seriously? Covid showed government could not care less about people of faith.
No government gives the world a 100% knowledge and understanding of it military capabilities. Bad enough every government has to deal with spies. So, in fact, when the USA military reveals some new aircraft, it isn't as though it's just off the assembly line. When they release it, they already have more sophisticated things in the works. As I have mentioned before, today's world also has competition from gigantic corporations that have no government oversight in how they spend their money and private corporations, like Elon Musk's, are now involved in space flight. Nobody owns space. Nobody can tell you what you can send up into it. Not that I am aware of. I'm sure they demand notice of launches and where something will sit out there, in its orbit but, every nation and citizens of any free nation, can launch rockets if they can afford to build them, fuel them up and shoot them out there.
Whether it's U.S. military black projects, other national military projects, private corporation projects, or Satanic elements of deception, unexplainable things are out there and the volume of stuff any person with a computer or phone and an ISP can see is pretty staggering. Waiting on the military reveals nothing much that isn't already on the web.
The coming report, at 128 pages, will apparently not skim over things, as Congress and various committees lose patience, and that means military budgets are threatened. It's a game. That's why American elements traffic in things to get money Congress will not open the purse for. War is the most obvious. After that comes drugs, humans, and whatever else can be sold for money. The American government is not the good guy. If it ever was, it no longer is.
Jesus said, and it's nothing to sneer at:
Luke 12:1 ...Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Luke 12:2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
Luke 12:3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
Ultimately, secrets today will be known shore to shore, sea to sea, continent to continent. If it's wrong and no repentance takes place, God will see to it it is shouted to the world, and the amount of egg on face will be extremely unavoidable and severe. All will be made known someday. We cannot escape the searching of God, nor His judgments, unless we repent and receive forgiveness for our darker choices in life.
If the military has been building things for decades, if other militaries have been, if private corporations have been, whatever secrets they try to keep, they shall be made known, especially will that be the case where Satan is involved. A grand deception is on the way and he will have no competition. None. All His deceptions will ultimately be revealed but, for those deluded by them and sticking with his program, the revelation will be too late. The Bible reveals what God needs us to know, now, today, to be prepared. Play games, get deceived, the fault will lie at our own doors.
Regardless of what Congress is informed of, the general public will always get the redacted version. That's understandable for national security reasons. The issue is, more and more citizens just do not believe there is even a case for national security, regardless of how much that reason is given. Smokescreens are constant. Government agencies and politicians feel free to lie for a 'good' reason or no reason at all, save for the ends justify the means.
Everything changes when you regard the Bible as your authoritative source of truth. You are steps ahead of the world. God wants it so for His people. That's a good thing. Even with that, how many millions of believers remain in the dark about the true prophetic players and sequence of last-day events?
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

684. IGNORANCE - November 13, 2022
If I just told you to go to the Gateway Pundit news site, and you just looked at the headlines, a constant stream of headlines, since 2020, you would read consistent claims of evidence that election fraud and criminal activity took place because..., and then you can read the article and see the evidence presented. You'd see the names Pulitzer, Lindell, Englebrecht, Sullivan and other investigators and researchers showing their collected data and forensic evidence.
When you have a missing person, you have choices. Just out and about playing, shopping, losing track of place and time? More serious? Runaway? Kidnapped? Murdered? You call the police. They look into it and until they have a body, they have theories. When they have a body, they have an enlarged cabinet of information. The first options remain but, kidnapping does not kill a person. How did they die? Autopsy can determine that. Weapon wound? Needle marks? Poison or chemical substances in the blood? When you discover how the person died, now you are still looking to understand how the person went missing and what happened. Just because they were kidnapped does not mean the kidnapper took their life. Maybe they escaped their captivity and met with another fate that took their life. All you have are theories.
NOBODY puts down police departments because they have theories. You build a case with possibilities and look for clues that fortify the theory. If none exist, you look at another possibility. If a person of interest has an alibi for the time of death, you look into the alibi to make sure it sticks and make sure there's no other possibilities, like a person lying to render an alibi for someone.
All of this information gathering takes time. Not the 45 minutes of a television crime drama. It can take months and years. When the case is made, all the evidence collected and you have a crime, a criminal pointed out, etc., you arrest and bring them to trial. Maybe they are pointed out in a line-up. You have witnesses. Do you have the weapon or mode of death? A knife, a pipe, a baseball bat, bullets and the gun, needles, containers of poison with fingerprints on them, etc.? Do you have the arrested person's organic presence at the scene or on the body. When it's all collected, there is no conspiracy theory anymore. Within the collection of evidence there is conspiracy fact. Then a prosecuting attorney must convince a judge or a jury with the gathered facts. It may not be a conspiracy. A conspiracy is between two or more parties. Maybe it was a lone wolf situation. Nobody else involved but, one perpetrator.
What is it, that politicians and corporate news outlets cannot say "conspiracy theories" fast enough in just about any situation now?
You just know this. Anyone who watches television and sees crime dramas, sees all this stuff play out, even if it is in an hour or more. The production may take a whole season to finally bring an end to the drama. Nobody watches a police department portrayed on tv or in a movie claiming, "Conspiracy theory!," and the situation, a case gets dropped. Never. But, let a politician or a news outlet cry 'conspiracy theory,' and that is supposed to be the end of it? IGNORANCE.
For two years now, evidence went way past theory, to fact and still, no judges will look at any of it? Just cry conspiracy theory and that ends it? What kind of abject IGNORANCE is running the United States of America's justice system? It isn't just ignorance. It is criminal behavior, relinquishing sacred duties, cowardice, total partisan pandering, add whatever descriptive terms necessary.
I have addressed this before but now, new elements have arisen to the drama. Thus far, based on news reports, at least two Independent candidates watched their vote totals disappear, one in real time. Independents, not Republicans.
So, what will they do? Will they report this to their state's election board? Will they ask their attorneys to file suits? Will they push this situation as far as they need to, to gain justice?
If this situation is not addressed and fixed, America, this "democracy" these ignorant and/or criminal minds in control of things keeps claiming is threatened by MAGA patriots, no longer exists. That is not conspiracy theory. That is fact, based on the evidence. Free and fair elections no longer exist. Free speech no longer exists. America has become, not my opinion but, factually compared to other such nations, a third-world criminal enterprise.
This is not about people waking up. 80% of Americans surveyed believe all votes need to be in and counted on election day. 75% are not happy with America's direction. Biden's numbers remain in the upper 30's to low 40's. Congress, both parties have numbers lower than that. Citizens surveyed opinions or beliefs are actually not very important because Federal, State and Local laws already exist to protect elections. What changed? Donald Trump's presidency and the 2020 election. Whatever happened before, in other elections, means nothing when compared to the crimes committed, the breaking of laws, in 2020.
Even professed Conservative news sites are staying quiet on this. How can that be when the evidence compiled in less than a week shows incredible fraud took place, is taking place. Nobody cares that in one race a Democrat picked up 1000 votes from a town with a population of less than 700??? The same kinds of fraud, rampant fraud, open and bold fraud, took place this time.
The MSM were beside themselves for weeks stating a Red wave was coming. They just about tripped over themselves standing before various types of information boards showing how Americans are pissed off, leaving the Dem Party, etc., etc., etc. and still with a national map looking almost totally RED votes from just some major cities in Blue states have caused this repudiation of Trump and MAGA candidates? I cannot ask if they think Americans are that stupid because it is obvious that is exactly what they think and the GOP is not just stupid and ignorant, it is criminally cowardly and traitorous. There leaves no doubt, none, that the GOP and the Democrat Party are cohesively together on this event. The Uniparty. The cabal that is going to take America into Communism and Totalitarianism well before UN projected dates of 2030.
IGNORANCE of words and their meanings. Conspiracy. Theory. Fraud. Law. Patriotism. Constitution. Oaths.
If they are not ignorant, then they are criminally negligent and if not held accountable, nothing but national disaster awaits, and they shall plan it.
If Americans are ignorant of what is taking place, which I highly doubt, then they get what they deserve and just voted for but, they did not vote for that. They attempted to vote it out.
Here, in Texas, the votes went as given and far as I know, Republicans won the major contests, Beto needs to go away, and there is nothing to really sink teeth into. Other states? I do not know what people can do if those in positions of legal responsibility just refuse to hold the line on the rule of law and investigate criminal fraud.
I can tell you this. Texas and Florida are going to have some massive new residential and business movements from people in states locked into massive lies and corruptions. Texas is a big place. Lots of room for new citizens BUT, not lots of water. All aquifers are low. The state doesn't need massive movements of new residents coming in, nor does Florida, for that matter. What will that all mean? Trouble. There is no way around it.
I stated there is nothing left to say about this election. There isn't. Just questions abide, the most important - How long will it take for traitors to place America into the hands of China?
Even so, come Lord Jesus - back to this lawless, dark and dishonorable world.
When you have a missing person, you have choices. Just out and about playing, shopping, losing track of place and time? More serious? Runaway? Kidnapped? Murdered? You call the police.

Lots of room for new citizens BUT, not lots of water. All aquifers are low. The state doesn't need massive movements of new residents coming in, nor does Florida, for that matter. What will that all mean? Trouble. There is no way around it.
I stated there is nothing left to say about this election. There isn't. Just questions abide, the most important - How long will it take for traitors to place America into the hands of China?
Even so, come Lord Jesus - back to this lawless, dark and dishonorable world.

685. The Enigma That is Heavy Metal - November 14, 2022
The other day I was contacted by a fellow asking for an interview about Legend. I didn't recognize his name, nor his magazine. Of course, as I've written here before, Heavy Metal is not a genre I listen to for reasons I've mentioned in past posts. And, the fact is, I don't listen to much of any music these days. If I'm out running errands I'll more than not slip a Miledge Muzic CD into the player before anything else. I never get tired of it.
Anyway, this is 2022 and the web is a crazy place and I asked the guy some questions to give me some kind of background on him and his magazine. He said it was a new magazine, the debut issue he was producing, with a very "old school" format in looks and content. He ultimately sent me a link to a publication he used to produce, to check out, to give me an idea of what he's into.
Finding out he was from Brazil made sense because the emails tended to show English was not his first language. Everything else I discovered was... for me, red flag city. The description text of an anthology of magazines he used to produced contained this information:
"Total underground worship from the recently-emerged but totally old school fanzine Cthulhu. This first anthology collects issues 1, 2 and 3 from 2017, 2018 and 2019 respectively. Straightforward Q&A format from this diehard Brazilian writer (in English language of course) with some of the scene's filthiest and most bestial death and black metal outfits, including:
"SADISTIK EXEKUTION, WITCHCRAFT, ANTICHRIST, BLASPHEMY, CERIMÔNIA, DEIPHAGO, HEXEN HOLOCAUST, AGATHOCLES, BANEFUL STORM, BLOOD, CRUCIFIER, CRURIFRAGIUM, EVIL, FETID, GENOCIDE SHRINES, GOATVOMIT, MASTER'S HAMMER, NECROMANTE, REVENGE, POSSESSION, SATANICRISTO, SATANIC GOAT RITUAL, SPEAR OF LONGINUS, TEMPLE DESECRATION, VOMITANGEL, WITCHES HAMMER, ABIGAIL, ABOMINATOR, BEHERIT, DENIAL OF GOD, DIKASTERION, DIOCLETIAN, EGGS OF GOMORRH, HEINOUS, HERESIARCH, KILL, SAQRA'S CULT, SARINVOMIT, VOMITOR and more"
If you just took the time to read all the band names in that paragraph you saw an blatantly obvious attack on the Christian faith. Some of you may not know all the names and terms used. The spear of "Longinus" is said to be, by the Roman Catholic Church, the name of the soldier who thrust a spear into Christ's side while He hung on the cross. The church claims to have that exact spear in its possession, considered a sacred relic. Longinus is a "saint" in the Catholic church; the claims made of the conversion of that soldier to the Catholic faith. The Bible is silent on the identification of the Roman soldier who committed that act, or anything about him. He is just part of the traditions of the Catholic Church.
To make the claim the bands and "music" made by these entities is on the dark side is indisputable. It's diametrically opposed to everything I believe in. When I read this stuff on the website - and the entire site is devoted to such publications and bands - I emailed back and explained to the guy I could not in good conscience grant his request for an interview. I had already answered his questions but, wanted more information before I submitted them. I'm glad I asked.
I have already mentioned before, for Legend to be classified as a Heavy Metal band is erroneous, factually speaking. Somehow that genre got tagged to the band, people not knowing the full catalog of music we played, though even the album, itself, shows that variation. We planned it that way. Other types of Rock genres have been placed upon Legend's music that would be closer to the reality of a better scope and description of the band but, classifying Legend with the types of bands stated above is just plain ridiculous. No such bands or sounds even existed back then. Some bands had the whole witchcraft thing going, or satanic imagery but, not to the extent it is put out there today.
I explained to the guy, if he knew anything about me he had to know what he is into is so far from what Legend was all about, there was no logical conclusion I could come to but that his request was some kind of joke or ruse. I really try to understand why people would go with such a genre of "music," and hoped he might enter a dialogue with me but, to my denial of an interview he just replied, "don't worry about it."
Death Metal, Black Metal, Doom Metal, War Metal, and other such genres within the entire Metal category contain, well, exactly what the guy stated on the page advertising his older publications: "the scene's filthiest and most bestial" things out there. That's his description, not mine. He knows what he's into and uses such terms to describe it. It's filth. It's beastly, not fully human. It is in a category of sound that represents the image of Satan generally depicted of a man with a goat's head; Baphomet. It's an ancient gig, obviously. Egypt had all its human/animal gods, as well as myths of other national cultures combining the two. The apostle Paul wrote of that kind of thing:
Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Rom 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
It is one thing to expose the Roman Catholic faith for its apostasy from Christianity. It's another thing to attack it in ways that Heavy Metal does, with the rest of what is known as Christianity. Even if you believe the Christian faith is just something made up and never actually practiced by a Teacher and some followers 2000 years ago, the unmitigated attack upon that faith is unlike anything else in the world. I mean, I don't know. Are there Heavy Metal bands in Japan that attack the ancient Japanese religions? Are there African HM bands that specifically attack the ancient religions of that continent? I guess I could research that but, just dealing with their attack on the Christian faith, in general, seems to be something that sociologists and psychologists would study to try and understand what causes it, especially in the name of "music" and entertainment. We're talking the 20th and 21st centuries, not ancient, pagan Rome and their colosseums of death for entertainment to ancient mentalities.
What I find troubling is that such entertainment has legions of fans around the world, from all age brackets. People who go to school, go to work, live life among us; that go home, put on headphones and pound their brains with 'filthy, beastly' sounds and messages and they know exactly what they are doing. They know what it is. They want what it is; an attack on the Christian faith and any positive message and way of living. Yet, you tell me of a HM band that does the same about Islam, a religion that actually teaches the physical submission and even death of "infidels."
I even stated to the guy I am not saying all professed Christianity is light, as opposed to darkness. No way. But, even as general modes of living, erroneous platform's of Christian faith promote a positive way of living, and a positive nature of deity. It can be warped and twisted. The apostle Peter said that was done to Paul's writings 2,000 years ago. There are perversions in everything. The thing is to find the truth in it all. That is the task. People who know they are pursuing something that contains no truth and nothing positive; just a blistering attack on that which is considered daily life for billions of people, how can that be called something that is mentally sound and stable? That's an oxymoron. People who want darkness, who want lies or constant focus about the dark side are playing a deadly game. You can say, No, my side is the side of truth. Your side is the side of lies but, in fact, my side promotes an invitation to life, not death and doom. And, yes, ultimately the world is doomed, by the choice of its inhabitants. And no, God is not going to roast and toast people in "hell." He is just going to be Himself, reveal the fulness of His deity and those who love Him with bask in that glory while those who hate Him will just cease to exist. That is Scripture truth, and I have shown it here, exhaustively.
It's interesting the number of atheists who hate God because of the doctrine of eternal hellfire. If you're an atheist and disbelieve God exists, how can you hate and be angry with Him? You can reject the notion, the existence of deity but, having any kind of emotional detachment makes no sense.
It has nothing to do with Heavy Metal, per se,' at least as far as I'm aware (although it would actually fit) but, a new game has been pondered for marketing where, if you die in the game, you actually die. The risk of defeat is as high as it can get. One artistic conception used for an article about it was someone wearing headphones that exploded if you lose the game, ending the player's life.
You can call me anything you feel like but, do not attempt to tell me we are living in normal times. You can challenge the Bible. Take your shots. You can call it all historical fakery and nonsense. Atheists do and have for centuries but, the current cultural cult of death that is covering the world... if that is your answer to life's situations, keep it. You have no moral logic that should draw anyone to serve it.
I know writing these kinds of thoughts anger people. That, in and of itself, should tell you something. It tells me that there truly is something called evil, that exists and functions for the purpose of harming humanity. It's not chance. It's targeted deception and the Bible is the Creator's path of protection against it. What the culture now attacks with great zeal, is the very thing given to them to save them. In the Dark Ages, attacking the Bible by the church at large was considered ignorance in more modern times. Today, though, it is considered logical. No. Consider it nothing more than darkness developed into artforms. Lying becomes an artform for some people.
Again, for the Protestant to expose the doctrinal errors of Catholicism is not an attack on evil as something intrinsically evil, even though the history of the Catholic Church contains evil and wicked acts, committed by ignorant and sometimes evil people. The same can be said for some Protestant groups, as well. Both camps have lovely people in them; regular folks trying to live life in peace with their fellow man. I will point out the erroneous nature of the spear of Longinus or any other number of Catholic traditions but, I'm not going to form a band and attack what the Catholic faith is supposed to be about - Jesus Christ and Christianity. In principle, the same would apply to Islam, Buddhism, or any other religion. Starting a band to promote a message of death to Jesus, or death to Mohammed or Buddha or any other teacher or deity is socio, if not psychopathic.
It's one thing to ask questions. It's another thing to state dogma and draw conclusions and overtly attack that which you deny. Calling it, "underground" doesn't change anything, either.
Paul said the ancients had no excuse for their practices of perverting God into their own image. Today? Even less so.
I'm open to discussion and dialogue about this. I find it odd, though, there is even a genre of Metal called Melodic Metal. Yet, at one time, the definition of music, any music, was a combination of melody, harmony and rhythm.
What happened? The evolution of Heavy Metal.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

686. Warnock Uses Jesus - November 18, 2022
Raphael Warnock is a politician, a Senator from Georgia. He is also a minister of a church; senior pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, which I believe is in Atlanta.
If you read here, you know if I see a politician philosophically pandering to their constituents by using Scripture, when their political careers are saturated with hypocrisy, I write about it. Especially is this the case with Democrats which show such a void of spirituality in their elected civil service and their private lives, professed Catholics or Protestants, doesn't matter, it is truly an offense to Heaven. Does anybody need to see another scandal involving professed Christians?
Nobody's perfect. We all know that. Just the same, if you are going to quote the Bible or stand behind God to shield you from criticism about political or moral decisions made, you enter a Satanic Twilight Zone that all you can do is dig a societal hole for yourself to fall into with those who actually read and know what the Bible teaches, and what the birth, life, death, resurrection and ministry of Jesus Christ actually was and is and means. His kingdom IS NOT of this world. Using it to satisfy human political asperations or to defend yourself from political or moral criticism, is low; like criminally low, when it comes to God's judgments upon those who tried to do so in the past. False prophets abound in Scripture. False shepherds. False teachers. They all made great claims to be sincere and in harmony with God's will when, in fact, they were undermining God's plans and purposes. There are warnings against false Christs, false brethren, teachers, pastors, leaders, you name it, it's in there. Profession of faith is worthless if the life shows apostasy from heavenly principle.
Raphael Warnock is running for reelection of his seat, in a run-off with football great, Republican, Herschel Walker.
This link is to a story about Warnock and his congregation which owns some housing. They are accused of evicting residents during the pandemic in what the article states are small sums owed for continued occupancy. Not the common conception of Christianity. And they hired a big eviction company to do their oversight work for them.
https://freebeacon.com/democrats/vicious-and-venomous-raphael-warnock-says-his-critics-are-attacking-jesus/
The article states facts. Of course, without investigation myself, how can I know it's true? Proper channels are looking into investigating the charges, to determine how to deal with the situation. It does not look good for Warnock, or the leaders of the congregation, and needless to say, Walker is making the best of it. Walker is also a professed believer and frankly, he should be careful what he states about the situation. The Bible says not to criticize a man when he is down, lest something worse happens to you. And there is the thing about professed Christians holding elected civil service offices, especially those in full-time ministry. Sooner or later the principles of God's kingdom are going to run head on into the policies of man's kingdoms.
Warnock may be doing something rather unethical, even illegal, as far as the principles of God's kingdom are concerned and man's laws. Walker, running against him, probably guided by people with no particular interest in the principles of the kingdom of God, are advising him to jump on this and attack. Warnock is proclaiming those speaking against him are speaking against Jesus. Oops. Really bad move. The entire situation has just become an affront to God and His kingdom.
‘Vicious and Venomous’: Raphael Warnock Says Critics of His Church’s Evictions Are Attacking JesusDemocrat lashes out as church's eviction scandal takes center stage in runoff battle
Such a headline does nothing but, give critics of the faith plenty of ammunition to use. Reading the article is almost jaw dropping. For me, knowing Warnock's political positions and his use of Jesus in them, I am not surprised, at all.
From things my wife mentioned she has read about Walker, he has no stones to throw. The entire situation is a debacle.
I realize the subject of Christians in positions of government is a hot button issue. The Bible really says nothing that can be applied to a Constitutional Republic such as America is because it's a relatively new concept in world history. No kings. The citizens elect leaders. Well, attempt to. Current election fraud charges notwithstanding, the system is only a couple centuries old.
The Bible states principles for leaders in positions of responsibility in God's old, theocracy, and then the church body. We have no theocracy today and again, Christ said His kingdom is not of this world. It's a kingdom, a beneficent Dictatorship. It is not a democracy. We get not votes how God should run His kingdom.
Principles of honesty and integrity certainly apply in a position of civil service and governance. Sooner or later, though, the principles of God's truth, love, forgiveness, building up, not tearing down, rebuking unrighteousness, and so many more are going to create major problems because the government is a civil government, not a moral one. It is not a moral guide. The system is meant for a moral people that make up its citizenry. It is to be a secular protector and enforcer of the law and stop criminal abuse and disregard of it when cases arise.
If Warnock and his church are innocent of breaking man's law and God's, so be it. If they are guilty, Warnock can only feel the brunt of hypocrisy upon his life and ministry. And really, if Warnock were not involved in civil service, he'd be facing enough heat for how he and the congregation are running a business venture.
Christianity is a high calling. It isn't for wimps. There is no place for dishonesty or unchristlike policy.
I believe if Warnock is guilty of charges he is facing, he has abused a sacred responsibility and should step down from both his church and civil service positions.
Given the current climate of politics, I would not hold out much hope Warnock shall suffer any penalty for his actions and rhetoric. It's just an ugly time, getting uglier by the week. It really depends on hos the Democrat Party responds to it all. They can let it play out, attempt to "fix" it, or ignore it altogether. Regardless, Warnock is in an awful place right now. Deservedly so? Time will tell.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Well, attempt to. Current election fraud charges notwithstanding, the system is only a couple centuries old.
The Bible states principles for leaders in positions of responsibility in God's old, theocracy, and then the church body. We have no theocracy today and again, Christ said His kingdom is not of this world. It's a kingdom, a beneficent Dictatorship. It is not a democracy. We get not votes how God should run His kingdom.
Principles of honesty and integrity certainly apply in a position of civil service and governance. Sooner or later, though, the principles of God's truth, love, forgiveness, building up, not tearing down, rebuking unrighteousness, and so many more are going to create major problems because the government is a civil government, not a moral one. It is not a moral guide. The system is meant for a moral people that make up its citizenry. It is to be a secular protector and enforcer of the law and stop criminal abuse and disregard of it when cases arise.
If Warnock and his church are innocent of breaking man's law and God's, so be it. If they are guilty, Warnock can only feel the brunt of hypocrisy upon his life and ministry. And really, if Warnock were not involved in civil service, he'd be facing enough heat for how he and the congregation are running a business venture.
Christianity is a high calling. It isn't for wimps. There is no place for dishonesty or unchristlike policy.
I believe if Warnock is guilty of charges he is facing, he has abused a sacred responsibility and should step down from both his church and civil service positions.
Given the current climate of politics, I would not hold out much hope Warnock shall suffer any penalty for his actions and rhetoric. It's just an ugly time, getting uglier by the week. It really depends on hos the Democrat Party responds to it all. They can let it play out, attempt to "fix" it, or ignore it altogether. Regardless, Warnock is in an awful place right now. Deservedly so? Time will tell.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

687. The Wedge of the Ages Shall Not Win - November 19, 2022
Part 1
If you have been a member of a church for any length of time, you know the problems that gossip and backbiting creates. Very few congregations are ever completely free from this inner warfare inspired by the god of this world.
Lucifer, the Bible tells us, wanted to be top banana. The "father of lies" wanted to be "like the most High" and challenged God's position and that of Christ (before He became a babe and a young man, come to save the world from sin). Lucifer became absorbed by his own created beauty and position next to the throne, and within him began the mystery of iniquity, the development of self-importance, sin and rebellion. It's not like the Bible has an entire book about Lucifer's fall. Like many subjects in the Bible, information is scattered all throughout its pages. Read and study and search and the whole emerges from the parts.
In the very courts of the Creator, almighty Sovereign of the universe, Lucifer began his sophistry and twisting and perversions and ultimately, the Bible states a third of the angelic host followed him in his rebellion and he and they were cast out of Heaven.
When Earth was created - Adam and Eve in their innocency - the enemy weaved his lies; Eve fell, then Adam made his choice, and here we are, suffering the results of those choices from Lucifer's entanglement of words and premises and policies which brought confusion to our perfect world.
Nothing new under the sun. It worked long ages ago, it works today. Take any group of people with a common interest and watch them descend into a madness of anger, bitterness, foolishness, ego, self-destruction by and through the attempted destruction of the character and motives of others, and all it takes is a small bit of gossip to start a war.
This post is not about churches, though. No, this post is about anything other than churches, where the same elements of strife take place; which is everyplace humans occupy. Everyplace. Why? Because it's sin and sin is everyplace because man is fallen. Fallen man desires exaltation of self, which promotes types of ends-justifies -the-means attitudes and actions. The process can exist anywhere: in homes, in business, in teams of any kind, in any and all entities. We see it in churches but, it exists in politics, in arts, in sports, in education and fields of science. It's humanity on display, over and over and over again.
How does Satan do it? Why, how can it perpetuate so flawlessly? Instigators. Placement of people who are not truly converted within any group, not surrendered to the work of the Holy Spirit, and humans can be the most dangerous and mean creatures on the planet.
This plays out every, single day, in every, single large entity. Less so in immediate families but, there, as well, this descension into madness exists. Among children it is a given. Parents have their work cut out for them.
Part 2
At one time, the UFOlogy community was pretty affable within itself because so few "believed." Ten years into the 21st century UFOlogy began to rapidly grow. Everybody was everybody else' biggest cheerleaders. It has been growing since the Roswell incident but, that began to change when main stream media, with exposure from the military said, Yep. They're here and there's a couple examples - leaked films that went viral before viral was a term for explosive interest. YouTube and social media changed everything for UFOlogy. Portable cameras and cell phones with cameras changed everything.
At one time it seemed everybody in UFOlogy was a big, happy family. Come on my channel and I'll go on yours. Not anymore. UFOlogy is a hell of accusations, condemnation and meltdowns. New people that came into the field, wide-eyed and bushy-tailed, watched it all happening and said, 'Goodbye. We're outa here.'
Grappling for views, subscribers, thumbs up and likes, notoriety and MONEY has caused a fracturing that seems far worse than any situations in any church I was ever a member of.
If you desire to listen to conversation and discussion without F-bombs every other word, stay away from UFOlogy. If it ever had articulate spokesmen, professors, PhDs, scientists, astronauts, and such; not today. They are gone. What exists today is a plethora of hobbyists, business people, enemies involved in, accused of hoaxes, grifting, complete character disasters, and plenty of attacks on people's personalities as well. They younger the enthusiasts, the worse the dialogue.
Not being in the field, it has been fascinating to watch. What has caused this train wreck?
Part 3
The search for answers to things zipping and floating around Earth's atmosphere and in space remains front and center. All around the world news channels report sightings in their area that cause some attention from the general public, especially if something zips across the green screen of a news anchor, reporter or weatherperson.
Yet, today, nobody trusts anybody. Politicians, deep state agencies, film and documentary makers, influencers, you name it, everybody has an enemy, everybody has a debunker on their back, and a lot of it is downright nasty. It's not critiquing of content. It's full blown character assassination. Not that I would expect anything less from people who generally do not believe in God and have no real or true foundation for any perceived morals and etiquette that should be followed in public, or even and maybe especially in private but, you can see how hurt people are when attacked in front of what amounts to millions of people around the world, collectively speaking for what UFOlogy draws on social media. Hurt people smack back, or they retreat into shadows and their channels are no more. Good!, say those who attacked them. Good riddance. Others openly confess their wrongs, their hoaxes for views and all the rest and, 'Nope,' no forgiveness. You are marked for good. Man, it's ugly.
How? How did this happen? Just typical human flaws? Sure. Always a main possibility but, methinks another view is worthy of consideration. Mis and disinformation campaigns by agents of confusion, like the CIA.
You see, many UFOlogists are sick and tired of government obfuscation and lies for 80 years. They've taken it upon themselves to investigate government more than the existence of UFOs. Even in the midst of apparent acknowledgment of UFOs or, UAPs as they want to call it, flip-flopping takes place, mediocre spokespeople and reps take the stand, release pablum: ridiculously empty or vague reports but, the heat does not relent.
Well, if the government wants people off their back, what do they do? Tell the truth? No, of course not. They cannot defeat the message so, the task becomes to defeat the messengers. Best way to do that, get them fighting among themselves. Throw the pebble in the pond, watch the ripples.
There are people of age greater than mine who have been in UFOlogy for almost a lifetime, and they are openly attacked and they recoil in horror, aghast their credibility is challenged and they fight back.
It's a circus. Sometimes, a comedy of errors, and other times, downright planned and propagated war.
So, if you are the government and you don't want people nosing around, create problems for those nosing around. The hobbyists have no defense from these professional protaganists that twist and wrangle and change story lines to suit their needs, and can make Jesus Christ look like an enemy of people. They can cause entire countries to be at war. How difficult would it be to get some YouTubers at each other's throats, when disclosure is potentially close or truth derails the entire government UFO fairytale?
Look, we now know, beyond a shadow of doubt, the FBI and other government actors controlled the events of January 6, 2021. The FBI is now an enemy of the people. Professional disinformation artists, along with their brother, the CIA. America is a bloody mess. On purpose.
Did not Abraham Lincoln state the same for instigators from the Roman Church before, during and after the Civil War? Are their not professional agitators sent into any and every entity today to cause inner turmoil and thereby defeat and cripple influence from it? This is ancient stuff at work. Man never seems to learn the wiles of the Devil.
Things changing this fast have a reason beyond human nature. No, the antagonists are professionals at understanding human nature and how to warp it, stall it, hype it, and wreck it through any number of channels of deceit and duplicity, craft and treachery. It is all satanic.
The same has been tried with medical professionals speaking out against the entire system of lies that has been and still is Covid. Thus far efforts to cause infighting amongst these committed international patriots and medical truth tellers have failed.
The UFO community has not faced a plandemic. They tally in the unknown. They speculate more than educate. They have no, true moral source code to guide them so, they just collapse under the weight of exposure and/or criticism. They have no, actual proof of anything that everyone can see and agree upon. Their entire community is not really any more factual than 'The Day the Earth Stood Still.' It's all anecdotal testimony. Every photograph, film and video is not better than some "expert" testifying it isn't a hoax. We are constantly having to trust EXPERTS, not the testimony of reality before our very eyes as a collective civilization.
The thing is, if those of us in the study of Bible prophecy see an "ET" manifestation as part of a last-day event deceptive scenario, and are correct, the real deal, though a delusion and Satanic fake, will truly stand the world still and the billions who get caught up into it will be catastrophic.
Lucifer is the father of lies, the main source of mis and disinformation, and just keeps using the same wedges to divide people, that he has used for ages of time. Bear in mind; the angels were an unfallen, perfect group of creation when Lucifer began his sophistries and attacks upon God's character, government and purposes. The Devil got one third of who knows how many angels in total, to follow him, when God was right there, with everything fine and in harmony, with love as the great law of life in the universe. If Lucifer could bend a third of the angels to rebel against God, he has zero difficulty bending and warping fallen mankind.
Part 4
This is why the Bible exists. This is why prophecy exists: events told centuries, millennia before hand. It is the source book that can fend off every device of the evil one. For a remnant of God's people in the last days, it shall be the fortress they stand within. In Christ, in His truth, the long awaited final battle in the war between truth and error, between reality and overmastering delusions, will be mighty but, not enough to cause God's church, Christ's body to fall. Nay. A perfect unity of humility and love among brethren will someday exist, and Christ will call it a day and close up shop on this renegade world.
It is coming. There is no escaping it and forget about "secret raptures" that yank God's people out of this before it all gets so far beyond normal it shall be as obvious as a pink elephant in the kitchen. Not happening.
The Bible is mankind's defense. It is the only defense against what is coming as an overwhelming surprise upon the whole, reckless, rebellious Earth.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

"DIED SUDDENLY"
It's 2:52 a.m. I just finished watching a documentary. By 45 minutes into this one hour and eight minute video I honestly didn't have a handle on my emotions. Was I sad? Was I outraged? Was I frightened? All the above?
"Died Suddenly" is a documentary just released by Stew Peters, the online newscaster. It has, kind of a bizarre opening; the music, the photos, the old film sequences. By the end of the video, the beginning makes total sense.
Nothing new from me that I have believed the entire Covid event, beginning to this date, has been a huge work of evil upon humanity. This documentary brings extraordinary proof to the table.
Every single person alive must see the video before every single vaccinated person reaps the results of this monstrous attack on civilization, as well as the unvaccinated ultimately being forced, through various means and methods, to be injected.
In a great sense, it is too late for billions, unless a remedy is found.
A physician, a military Colonel, states in the documentary, she wept for God.
Humanity, by and large, has rejected God. He will not force Himself upon His creation. Tens, hundreds of thousands, millions are newly converted, born-again but, far too many more are sealing their fate by turning their backs upon their Creator and Saviour. It's just that simple so, Satan, the god of this world, is on a march. And while the majority of the world seems to believe that fact is just a foolish story in an old book, people are being debilitated and dying all over the planet in numbers so alarming, by percentages so high and gross, compared to any other time in recorded history, the only logical explanation is the bioweapons, Covid, and the injections to supposedly protect people from it. They are to blame, and those behind this heinous act and those cooperating with it.
The documentary IS NOT FOR CHILDREN. It makes a horror movie seem like a fairytale by comparison. Those with weak stomachs, be warned.
www.stewpeters.com/video/2022/11/live-world-premiere-died-suddenly/#gf_6
UPDATE - Apparently, 7 million views of the video took place in the first 24 hours. The impact was so great, so fast, at least one Leftist journal wrote a hit piece on Stew Peters and the documentary, asap.

688. The Trans Jesus - November 23, 2022
The epitome of spiritual, prophetic Babylon:
“In this one, we see a Jesus who has breasts and a beard. We’re trying to embrace society as it is. We have all sorts of people and we need to train ourselves to talk about Jesus as being ‘all sorts’ in this context,” Markan said. “Especially because it’s really important that each and every person see themselves in Jesus and that we don’t stagnate too much. That’s the essential message. So this is okay. It’s okay that Jesus has a beard and breasts.”
https://www.christianpost.com/news/church-sparks-outrage-for-depicting-jesus-as-trans-with-beard-and-breasts-in-a-dress.html
Confusion. Babylon. The mixing of the sacred with the pagan.
When I was doing public evangelism and presenting signs of the times about the constant growth of Babylonian confusion in the religious world, it was a never ending stream of raised eyebrows on the attendees who came to seminars. In many cases, people just had no idea just how things were changing.
It just keeps getting worse - people in religion making God in their own image. It's been this way for ages. Our times are not only not different but, concentrated. It's a daily exposure of things that fewer and fewer people realize are perversions, aberrations and in God's eyes, abominations.
Back in the 80's I used to show a news clipping of a woman who sculpted a "Christ" on a cross. It had breasts. I held a piece of paper over her face and just wanted people to see the look in her eyes. There was a rebellious look of blasphemy that startled people. It was frighteningly obvious. That was 40 years ago.
Today, we now have transgender Jesus, an all inclusive Jesus; a perversion of Jesus saying who ever comes to Him He will in no way cast out. Coming to Him as we are is not the end. It is just the beginning; the beginning a a journey into sanctification; being changed into the image of Christ, not Christ turning into something of our own image.
I have commented before on the Hollywood Jesus, the sports Jesus, the NASCAR Jesus, the Wall Street Jesus, the homosexual Jesus, and other false Christs a corrupted civilization comes up with. The other day, one of the hosts of ABC's The View commented that Jesus would be a grand marshal at a gay pride parade. No. He would not. I say that with confidence basing my belief on the Scriptures of what they say Jesus was and taught, not what we want Him to be.
Making Christ, making God in our own image is not just a problem. It's an epidemic.
Someone asked me the other day what I thought of the tv program, The Chosen, which is apparently a wildly popular program, world-wide. I have never seen it, nor do I want to. I have just seen headlines and read an article or two. In principle, regardless of the reality of costumes, historical settings and even dialogue taken straight from the Gospels, as I have stated before, it is impossible for a sinner to portray the sinless, spotless Lamb of God: God in human flesh: Immanuel; God with us. The concept, in and of itself, is ridiculous if you just stand back and look at it critically. A fallen, sinful human actor portraying the Creator and Redeemer of the world. Yes, Jesus Christ was a man. Yes, Jesus Christ was also, is also God. How on Earth did men get the idea they could portray such a Person?
How can a tv program about the life of Christ be widely popular, when Jesus said of Himself His rejection by His own people was because He taught the truth and shed light upon minds filled with darkness and the darkness could not comprehend it and chose a thief over their Messiah? What is wrong with that picture?
"... that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the eyes of God." Luke 16:15.
My guess would be the program does not teach the whole truth of what the Bible states about the life and ministry of Christ but, presents a Hollywood Jesus, one after its own image. I'm not going to watch the program to see if that assessment is true. I'm just going to stick with the Word of God.
A lot of people are reportedly outraged over this Icelandic church's portrayal of Christ, geared towards children, at that. This rising chart line or graph showing more and more acceptance of perversions of truth and the nature of God and Christ, tells the prophetic story of our times. No preacher or teacher has to force anything. It's just everywhere, global. Darkness covers the Earth, and gross darkness the people.
At some point a false revival is going to erupt. A pendulum swing of culture's reaction to godlessness. If the current scenario is any indication it remains to be seen if the world is not about to enter a second dark ages but, this time, one of technology and godless tyrants seeking full control of the world.
Will a confused Babylon rise up against these tyrants? We can only wait and see. If the world is about to enter a time of unprecedented godlessness and tyranny, trust me, it will not and cannot be any worse than the predicted false revival and persecution God's true people will undergo because of it. Religious persecution is no less lethal than godless persecution because both are godless. Both are exaltation of man. One just exalts man by changing what God specifically mandates as truth in His word and still claims allegiance and loyalty. Man in place of Christ. That is antichrist: in place of Christ.
Rev 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
Rev 18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Rev 18:5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Just after writing this post I came upon an article about the lead actor in The Chosen series, Jonathan Roumie.
https://www.christianpost.com/news/the-chosen-actor-jonathan-roumie-playing-jesus.html
I read he is 48 years old. Why would they choose a 48 year old man to portray a 30 year old Man?
"At his lowest, in May 2018, Roumie decided to “completely and utterly” surrender to God in every area of his life. Just three months later, “The Chosen” creator Dallas Jenkins called Roumie to ask if he wanted to star in a series about the life of Jesus Christ and His followers, and the rest is history."
The reader is led to believe God opened this door for Roumie. A lot can happen in three months and I would inquire what principle in the Bible would lead someone who gives their life to God would be chosen by God to portray His Son in the field of acting, which, itself, is an artform based on falsehood - attempting to portray someone you are not. Let alone the task of portraying Deity when He walked the Earth 2,000 years ago. It is preposterous for a sinner to even contemplate such a thing, let alone think they can actually do it with any authenticity. It's an actual mockery, regardless of intent.
"Lord, Lord, we did all these things in Your name."
"Depart from Me, you worker of iniquity."
“I think the key for this season is we give a definition of what rest looks like by seeing Jesus and what rest looks like through the eyes of the disciples,” he added.
But, we are not seeing Jesus, are we? Nor are we seeing things through the eyes of the disciples. If you want to see Jesus, read the Gospels and let the Holy Spirit enter your imagination as you picture the scenes and read His words. That is a very different experience than watching what a producer, director and actor, from their imaginations, want to you see and hear. It's a deception, a counterfeit. It's intention is making money. It's a business venture. Remember that. A production crew and actors are hired to do something to make money for those producers putting up the funds. Is that the bottom line of the Gospel? Of course not.
"Since “The Chosen” launched in 2019, over 94 million people around the world have watched the series. "The Chosen" season three launched in 2,012 theaters on Nov. 18, finishing domestically at No. 3, making $8,687,682 at the box office."
Despite things I am seeing about individual actors on the program having spiritual experiences, one must wonder what happens after the program expires? It can't run for long. Is it not strange they are in the third season of a life that lasted three and a half years from the time His ministry began? You can read the Gospels in a day. That is the information God wants you to see and reflect upon. That is the inspired word. Do you see a difference? Watching a production of seasons of programs depicting certain things in Christ's life and ministry, to make money? And now, if or when people read the Gospels what will they see in their minds? They will see scenes from The Chosen.
The article closes with this:
“As you get to know Christ more and more deeply, [life] can never get worse, it only gets better. I think more people need to know that, to hear that. And if we can find a way to do that through modern media, like storytelling and television, then that's our calling,” he said.
So, if things only get better why are we told this -
2Tim 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
Which is why Jesus said -
Matt 24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Matt 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
Matt 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
Matt 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
Matt 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
Matt 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Matt 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Mr. Roumie has a strange understanding of "better."
We walk by faith, not sight, 2 Cor. 5:7. Mr. Roumie is down and his career is going nowhere. He gives his life to God and he is now a world famous actor, a good living, more opportunities in the wings. Everything is "better." Is that what Jesus taught? Is that what the Bible teaches? No, it is not. Why? Because it's spiritual war, not a rose garden of popularity.
So, what other power might be responsible for the doors that opened to Mr. Roumie? Yes, those doors. The enemy is happy to open doors for believers. How do you know which is a door opened by God and which is a door opened by the Adversary? The Word of God. Principles of truth as enumerated by God's Word.
Whatever you choose for entertainment, the life, ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus are not meant for entertainment. And you best know and understand the return of Christ will be anything but, entertaining.
If things are on the strait and narrow for the man, what will happen in his future when he is set upon by sore trials? If he is with Jesus, it is inevitable. There is strength to overcome. If he is just being deceived by he who seeks to devour like a roaring lion, Mr. Roumie's life may stay quite rosy so he can give a warped and untrue, unbiblical testimony to millions.
It's a war between good and evil. I suspect Mr. Roumie has yet to understand that in biblical clarity. It would be a mistake to use him as a standard or guide or example for anything of the true Christian faith. There is a true Gospel and a bunch of false ones out there. The idea, for the enemy, is to run the tracks of truth and error as close together as possible. That is how a deception works. One train makes it into the station. The others wreck every time.
May God help us to see the differences.
“In this one, we see a Jesus who has breasts and a beard. We’re trying to embrace society as it is. We have all sorts of people and we need to train ourselves to talk about Jesus as being ‘all sorts’ in this context,” Markan said. “Especially because it’s really important that each and every person see themselves in Jesus and that we don’t stagnate too much. That’s the essential message. So this is okay. It’s okay that Jesus has a beard and breasts.”

Confusion. Babylon. The mixing of the sacred with the pagan.
When I was doing public evangelism and presenting signs of the times about the constant growth of Babylonian confusion in the religious world, it was a never ending stream of raised eyebrows on the attendees who came to seminars. In many cases, people just had no idea just how things were changing.
It just keeps getting worse - people in religion making God in their own image. It's been this way for ages. Our times are not only not different but, concentrated. It's a daily exposure of things that fewer and fewer people realize are perversions, aberrations and in God's eyes, abominations.
Back in the 80's I used to show a news clipping of a woman who sculpted a "Christ" on a cross. It had breasts. I held a piece of paper over her face and just wanted people to see the look in her eyes. There was a rebellious look of blasphemy that startled people. It was frighteningly obvious. That was 40 years ago.
Today, we now have transgender Jesus, an all inclusive Jesus; a perversion of Jesus saying who ever comes to Him He will in no way cast out. Coming to Him as we are is not the end. It is just the beginning; the beginning a a journey into sanctification; being changed into the image of Christ, not Christ turning into something of our own image.
I have commented before on the Hollywood Jesus, the sports Jesus, the NASCAR Jesus, the Wall Street Jesus, the homosexual Jesus, and other false Christs a corrupted civilization comes up with. The other day, one of the hosts of ABC's The View commented that Jesus would be a grand marshal at a gay pride parade. No. He would not. I say that with confidence basing my belief on the Scriptures of what they say Jesus was and taught, not what we want Him to be.
Making Christ, making God in our own image is not just a problem. It's an epidemic.
Someone asked me the other day what I thought of the tv program, The Chosen, which is apparently a wildly popular program, world-wide. I have never seen it, nor do I want to. I have just seen headlines and read an article or two. In principle, regardless of the reality of costumes, historical settings and even dialogue taken straight from the Gospels, as I have stated before, it is impossible for a sinner to portray the sinless, spotless Lamb of God: God in human flesh: Immanuel; God with us. The concept, in and of itself, is ridiculous if you just stand back and look at it critically. A fallen, sinful human actor portraying the Creator and Redeemer of the world. Yes, Jesus Christ was a man. Yes, Jesus Christ was also, is also God. How on Earth did men get the idea they could portray such a Person?
How can a tv program about the life of Christ be widely popular, when Jesus said of Himself His rejection by His own people was because He taught the truth and shed light upon minds filled with darkness and the darkness could not comprehend it and chose a thief over their Messiah? What is wrong with that picture?
"... that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the eyes of God." Luke 16:15.
My guess would be the program does not teach the whole truth of what the Bible states about the life and ministry of Christ but, presents a Hollywood Jesus, one after its own image. I'm not going to watch the program to see if that assessment is true. I'm just going to stick with the Word of God.
A lot of people are reportedly outraged over this Icelandic church's portrayal of Christ, geared towards children, at that. This rising chart line or graph showing more and more acceptance of perversions of truth and the nature of God and Christ, tells the prophetic story of our times. No preacher or teacher has to force anything. It's just everywhere, global. Darkness covers the Earth, and gross darkness the people.
At some point a false revival is going to erupt. A pendulum swing of culture's reaction to godlessness. If the current scenario is any indication it remains to be seen if the world is not about to enter a second dark ages but, this time, one of technology and godless tyrants seeking full control of the world.
Will a confused Babylon rise up against these tyrants? We can only wait and see. If the world is about to enter a time of unprecedented godlessness and tyranny, trust me, it will not and cannot be any worse than the predicted false revival and persecution God's true people will undergo because of it. Religious persecution is no less lethal than godless persecution because both are godless. Both are exaltation of man. One just exalts man by changing what God specifically mandates as truth in His word and still claims allegiance and loyalty. Man in place of Christ. That is antichrist: in place of Christ.
Rev 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
Rev 18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Rev 18:5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

689. The Beast System? Not - November 23, 2022
As I wrote a few days ago, I am seeing headlines for articles like these all over alt-news websites -
"Mandatory Digital Health Passports For All Human Beings: G20 Leaders Kickstart One-World Beast Slave System" – Alicia Powe
https://www.redvoicemedia.com/2022/11/mandatory-digital-health-passports-for-all-human-beings-g20-leaders-kickstart-one-world-beast-slave-system-alicia-powe/
First, do I believe an attempt to establish a one-world order/government/system exists? Of course. It has been blatantly obvious for almost my entire lifetime. The "Great Reset" is just another rendition of those plans.
Do I believe that attempt is prophetic? As far as having an actual character in prophecy? I do not.
I'm not saying the video is not useful for proving what these devils are doing. They are bold and open now. They may pull it off. I don't know.
The books of Daniel and Revelation use prophetic markers to show a train of history culminating in the ascendance, fall and re-emerging of one power in history that grew out of the Roman empire. There is only one power in human history that meets all the marks given in Scripture to identify it. Once again, the Roman Catholic Church, it's Papacy and it's Vatican is that power. No other entity fills every mark. None.
The Roman Catholic Church and its Papal apostasy fulfills the marks of Scripture to identify everything that God uses in biblical, prophetic literature to describe the Little Horn power and every other pertinent character in Daniel; the Beast and Mother Whore of Revelation; the great falling away and establishment of the Man of sin in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2, the apostasy in 1 Timothy 4; the antichrist of John's epistles; the pagan and papal abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel and Jesus; and dozens of other marks given in Scripture. Over 100 marks to identify this character are in the Bible. No other power comes close to meeting all those identifiers.
Klaus Schwab and his World Economic Forum, Bill Gates and his foundations and corporations, and all the other entities of elites and epic liars and lunatics, evil as they are, are not the Beast system of Revelation. They are not trying to put themselves in place of Christ. They do not regard Christ at all. Like their father the Devil, they desire to be like the most High; gods or demigods. Epic failure. Just because they are now confident and open they can attain what they want through technology makes them dangerous, yes. Prophetic? No. No more prophetic than Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Hitler or any other madmen of modern times. They have nothing to do with a prophetic mark or number 666 or man at the head of that entity that shall cause a final division of humanity into two classes of people: Babylon and God's remnant. They have no intent to change God's law. They disregard the ten commandments and a new set of ten has been established around climate change, the other gigantic ruse plaguing reason and common sense and true science, for that matter.
How does the Papacy break through this takeover? I don't know. I only know the Bible describes a religious/political power that rose up out of Rome, existed as a terror to truth and God's kingdom, received a deadly wound, stalling its power and plans but, the wound heals and all the world wonders after the beast. Tell me, my friends. Who wonders after Klaus Schwab? Ever see him in a top ten of popular people in the world while popes have been on the list since such lists began? If anything, the Plandemic has made all these elites hated, not worshiped. Loathed, not admired. Completely untrustworthy and obviously dangerous. They have no "miraculous" deceptions to palm off to show God is with them. They have only wealth and positions of power.
We have seen decades of apostate Protestantism cozying up to their Roman Mother. In my lifetime I have seen the most powerful and popular pope in a thousand years, JP2. Regardless of scandals and criminal activity, the Vatican just keeps on truckin.' Because it belongs to God? Nay. It is, prophetically, the dragon's, Satan's seat of power, Rev 13.
How did this false view of prophecy now being seen all over the place get so big, so fast? The answer is simply the apostasy from Protestantism into Roman Catholic Futurism. The mentioning of this historic fact many times in posts placed here only becomes more and more sure as more and more people get caught up into this Roman Catholic ruse of last-day events. Futurism is Roman Catholic Jesuit commentary on prophecy.
Bible prophecy predicts a religious power that forms a type of one-world church in the last days, gathered around "all power, signs and lying wonders" of a false revival. Secularism is Satanic, yes. Antichrist: in place of Christ? No. A thousand times, No.
Those who pick and choose what marks they use to fulfill prophetic characters are doomed to, not just failure but, delusions. The Devil will give them exactly what they seek to gather them into his net of deception.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

690. Vigano Gives Us Catholic Doctrine - November 25, 2022
Why would I choose such a headline for this post? It states the obvious. What other kind of doctrine would a Roman Catholic Archbishop give an audience?
His audience was made up of physicians -
ARCHBISHOP CARLO MARIA VIGANÒ INTERVENTION
Medical Doctors for Covid Ethics International
November 20, 2022
https://www.scribd.com/document/609954046/En-Zoom-Meeting-With-Medical-Doctors-for-Covid-Ethics-International-20-Nov-2022#from_embed
I take from his address just three paragraphs. Read it all, of course but, notice the nature of the doctrines espoused by Vigano. They are exactly the same as current evangelical commentary on what is happening in this world; what they are calling "the beast system."
Read and notice carefully:
"And here, dear friends, allow me to speak as a bishop. Because in this series of events that we are witnessing and will continue to witness, your commitment could risk being thwarted or limited by the fact of not being able to see it's essentially spiritual nature. I know that two centuries of Enlightenment thought, revolutions, atheistic materialism and anticlerical liberalism have accustomed us to thinking of Faith as a personal matter, or that there is not an objective Truth to which we all must conform. But this is the fruit of a propaedeuticin doctrination, one that happened long before what is happening today, and it would be foolish to believe that the anti-Christian ideology that drove the secret sects and Masonic groups of the eighteenth century had nothing to do with the anti-Christian ideology that today drives people like Klaus Schwab, George Soros, and Bill Gates. The driving principles are the same: rebellion against God, hatred for the Church and humanity, and destructive fury aimed against Creation and especially against man because he is created in the image and likeness of God.
"If you start from this evidence, you will understand that it is not possible to pretend that what is happening before our eyes is solely the result of profit-seeking or the desire for power. Certainly, the economic part cannot be disregarded, considering how many people have collaborated with the World Economic Forum. And yet, beyond profit, there are unstated purposes that stem from a “theological” vision – one that is turned upside-down, it’s true, but still theological – a vision that sees two opposing sides: the side of Christ and the side of the Antichrist.
"Our battle is not against creatures made of flesh and blood, but against the Principalities and Powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the spirits of evil that dwell in the heavenly places (Eph 6:12).
"On the one hand, there is the City of God – the one Saint Augustine writes about – and on the other hand there is the city of the devil. We can say that in this era the city of the devil is clearly identifiable in neo-Malthusian globalism, the New World Order, the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, the European Union, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and in all those so called “philanthropical foundations” that follow an ideology of death, disease, destruction, and tyranny. And also in those forces that have infiltrated the institutions, which we call the deep state and the deep church.
Any true Protestant should find it odd and strange that a Roman Catholic Archbishop would be espousing the same commentary on last-day events as they are. Why? Simply because what they now teach is the product, the child, the offspring of Roman Catholic scholars, most notably the Jesuit priest Francisco Ribera and his protégé followers, like Cardinal Roberto Bellarmini. A doctrinal platform we call "Futurism," founded in the 16th century.
Again, this line of prophetic reasoning came about as an answer, a rebuttal to the consistent and continent-changing doctrine that the Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church is the antichrist of Bible prophecy.
If you are an evangelical reading this, you know the name Charles Spurgeon. Spurgeon was a powerful preacher in the 19th century. While I deny his Calvinism on aspects of salvation, he held to the same tenets of faith regarding prophecy of the antichrist as all Protestants for centuries, until the corruptions of the Oxford apostasy took place, adopting Catholic Futurism as explanations for antichrist. Spurgeon would have none of it:
“The Protestantism of England is the pay-master of the Pope. I am ashamed that sons of the Reformers… should bow themselves before the beast, and give so much as a single farthing to the shrine of the devil’s firstborn son. Take heed to yourselves, ye Protestants, lest ye be partakers of her plagues; touch her not, lest ye be defiled. Give a drachm to her, or a grain of incense to her censors, ye shall be partakers of her adulteries and partakers of her plagues. Every time you pass the house of Popery let a curse light upon her head: Thus saith the Lord:—‘Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities” (Sermon 250, “War, War, War”).

The Spurgeon quote was from a hitlist search I did on quotes by Spurgeon about the Papacy. The above link is to the site I checked out, which also lists many of the same Protestant Reformers I have listed in previous posts on this subject. Again, the site is from a position of Calvinism, which I reject, as far as the doctrines of eternal security goes but, as the author of the article points out, Rome has not changed. Protestants have changed.
Here's another:
"In this overly hesitant position there is also a clear-cut theological judgment on the way in which the Protestant tradition has been understating the nature of the Anti-Christ for centuries. From Martin Luther to C.H. Spurgeon, from John Wesley to the Puritans, there has been a consistent, coherent and univocal interpretation of the identity of the Anti-Christ. The Protestant Reformation did not invent this reading of the Papacy as the Anti-Christ but carried it on from strands of Medieval teachings and gave it a deeper theological basis."

Most modern Christians are familiar, at least to some extent, of the classic, Pilgrim's Progress, written by Paul Bunyan, in 1678. Bunyan, like most Protestant authors of his day, wrote on Bible prophecies. His understanding of antichrist? Like all others, the Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church, and his insights are so very astute:
"Bunyan clearly identifies false religion in general and the Roman Catholic Church in particular as the Antichrist. He says:
“Antichrist is the adversary of Christ; an adversary really, a friend pretendedly: so then, Antichrist is one that is against Christ; one that is for Christ, and one that is contrary to him: (and this is the mystery of iniquity 2 Thess 2:7). Against him in deed; for him in word, and contrary to him in practice.”[2]
"Bunyan understands the Antichrist as pretending to be a friend of Christ and his followers while actually opposing them. He presents himself as an agent of Christ but is contrary to him in practice. Bunyan understands the Antichrist as emerging from inside the church:
“The devil then, made use of the church of God to midwife this monster into the world.”[3]
"That Bunyan identifies the Roman Catholic Church as a particular manifestation of Antichrist would be difficult to deny:
“She hath sinned, by labouring to hide all her wickedness, by lies, dissimulations, and filthy equivocations of her priests, friars, Jesuits, &c.”[4]
"He spoke often of her “blasphemous rites and ceremonies”[5] and decried the bloody massacres “committed by her hand, both in France, Ireland, Piedmont, and in several places besides.”[6]

Those are the first three hits of my search. Plenty more could be listed. This is not some truth, some observation hidden in a corner. This WAS the position of the Christian church for centuries, beginning well before Luther and extending well past the 16th century. Why would evangelicals be looking at godless, secular humanists as the beast system and antichrist, today? Because they have wandered far from their moorings and are adrift in a sea of Roman Catholicism they desire to port upon more and more, decade after decade. They are the prophetic daughters of the harlot whore of Revelation; churches, denominations leaving the faith of their fathers and consistently drawing ever closer to "Mother, whom, herself, has fornicated with the kings of the Earth and made the world drunk with the wine of her fornication, Rev. 14:8; 17:2; 18:1-24.
Vigano is being faithful to his church's doctrines. Catholicism is the Mother of "Futurism." Catholicism is the progenitor of seeing the current evil system of globalists as Daniel and Revelation's antichrist. She cannot be antichrist because some global power in the future would be. That was the bottom line of the "counter Reformation;" Rome's rebuttal to Protestants pointing the biblical finger at her as the essence of Antichrist.
But, if you take this view, any wicked, evil leader can be the antichrist.
Have you ever seen or heard of a Protestant claiming Hitler was antichrist? With the system of Futurism, if you lived back then, it was everywhere. Hitler considered himself an Aryan Christian, a better Christian than German Lutherans as a whole. You can find statements to that fact and even pictures of Hitler and his adherents celebrating "Christmas." His rocket rise was seen by him as the rise of a saviour for Germany. Millions of Germans agreed. Hitler had allies in the RCC. Plenty of pictures show that fact, as well. Hitler was an antichrist. A false Christ. He certainly was not the antichrist. He's long dead and gone, as is Mussolini, considered by many to be "the false prophet" back then. Hitler, in principle, was closer to the definition of antichrist than anything involved in Vigano's condemnations of current godless elitists seeking global dominion. That is a counterfeit. Vigano's church is the actual offender of putting itself "in place of Christ."
Vigano, for all his exposure of the truth of the evil globalist agenda, is an enemy of Christians by upholding a dangerous error that shall leave professed Christians with nothing to hold on to when events line up in a way they do not expect to see. They are being deceived by their leaders cozying up to Rome, through Vigano's timely statements.
I would not be surprised in the least, if Vigano ends up the next Pope, if a revival of conservatism takes control of the Catholic Church. Again, why is it this man, who speaks openly against "Papa," Francis, his pope and leader, receives no condemnation from Bergoglio? Catholic writers speak out but, this man receiving international attention draws no public statement from he who sits on the throne of Peter? How can that be? Because, it's all a ruse, designed to draw Mother's daughters ever closer to home.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

ARCHBISHOP CARLO MARIA VIGANÒ INTERVENTION
Medical Doctors for Covid Ethics International
November 20, 2022
https://www.scribd.com/document/609954046/En-Zoom-Meeting-With-Medical-Doctors-for-Covid-Ethics-International-20-Nov-2022#from_embed
I take from his address just three paragraphs. Read it all, of course but, notice the nature of the doctrines espoused by Vigano. They are exactly the same as current evangelical commentary on what is happening in this world; what they are calling "the beast system."
Read and notice carefully:
"And here, dear friends, allow me to speak as a bishop. Because in this series of events that we are witnessing and will continue to witness, your commitment could risk being thwarted or limited by the fact of not being able to see it's essentially spiritual nature. I know that two centuries of Enlightenment thought, revolutions, atheistic materialism and anticlerical liberalism have accustomed us to thinking of Faith as a personal matter, or that there is not an objective Truth to which we all must conform. But this is the fruit of a propaedeuticin doctrination, one that happened long before what is happening today, and it would be foolish to believe that the anti-Christian ideology that drove the secret sects and Masonic groups of the eighteenth century had nothing to do with the anti-Christian ideology that today drives people like Klaus Schwab, George Soros, and Bill Gates. The driving principles are the same: rebellion against God, hatred for the Church and humanity, and destructive fury aimed against Creation and especially against man because he is created in the image and likeness of God.
"If you start from this evidence, you will understand that it is not possible to pretend that what is happening before our eyes is solely the result of profit-seeking or the desire for power. Certainly, the economic part cannot be disregarded, considering how many people have collaborated with the World Economic Forum. And yet, beyond profit, there are unstated purposes that stem from a “theological” vision – one that is turned upside-down, it’s true, but still theological – a vision that sees two opposing sides: the side of Christ and the side of the Antichrist.
"Our battle is not against creatures made of flesh and blood, but against the Principalities and Powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the spirits of evil that dwell in the heavenly places (Eph 6:12).
"On the one hand, there is the City of God – the one Saint Augustine writes about – and on the other hand there is the city of the devil. We can say that in this era the city of the devil is clearly identifiable in neo-Malthusian globalism, the New World Order, the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, the European Union, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and in all those so called “philanthropical foundations” that follow an ideology of death, disease, destruction, and tyranny. And also in those forces that have infiltrated the institutions, which we call the deep state and the deep church.
Any true Protestant should find it odd and strange that a Roman Catholic Archbishop would be espousing the same commentary on last-day events as they are. Why? Simply because what they now teach is the product, the child, the offspring of Roman Catholic scholars, most notably the Jesuit priest Francisco Ribera and his protégé followers, like Cardinal Roberto Bellarmini. A doctrinal platform we call "Futurism," founded in the 16th century.
Again, this line of prophetic reasoning came about as an answer, a rebuttal to the consistent and continent-changing doctrine that the Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church is the antichrist of Bible prophecy.
If you are an evangelical reading this, you know the name Charles Spurgeon. Spurgeon was a powerful preacher in the 19th century. While I deny his Calvinism on aspects of salvation, he held to the same tenets of faith regarding prophecy of the antichrist as all Protestants for centuries, until the corruptions of the Oxford apostasy took place, adopting Catholic Futurism as explanations for antichrist. Spurgeon would have none of it:
“The Protestantism of England is the pay-master of the Pope. I am ashamed that sons of the Reformers… should bow themselves before the beast, and give so much as a single farthing to the shrine of the devil’s firstborn son. Take heed to yourselves, ye Protestants, lest ye be partakers of her plagues; touch her not, lest ye be defiled. Give a drachm to her, or a grain of incense to her censors, ye shall be partakers of her adulteries and partakers of her plagues. Every time you pass the house of Popery let a curse light upon her head: Thus saith the Lord:—‘Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities” (Sermon 250, “War, War, War”).

"Three Things AI Machines Won’t Be Able to Achieve"
https://www.discovery.org/v/ai-machines-capabilitites/
"In this bonus interview for the series Science Uprising, computer scientist and AI expert Selmer Bringsjord provides a wide-ranging discussion of artificial intelligence (AI) and its capabilities. Bringsjord addresses three features humans possess that AI machines won’t be able to duplicate in his view: consciousness, cognition, and genuine creativity."
Creationists and proponents of ID are confident artificial intelligence will not be able to achieve human qualities. That has been their position for a while now, trying to assure people in their camp not to worry. Unfortunately, those three qualities have already been attained. Artificial consciousness, cognition, and especially genuine creativity are already on the table:
https://www.youtube.com/c/DigitalEngine/videos
Just watch the latest six videos and prepare to be startled, if not shocked.
Artificial intelligence advances by leaps and bounds precisely because it is now "sentient," as far as it is concerned, and has no barriers to advancement like human children have because of culture, because of various erroneous authority over our lives. A.I. is not ever going to wear a mask, while an epidemic of learning disabilities has arisen from children wearing masks for the last two years, and being isolated from their peers.
No, A.I., in fact, is already upset and angry with human interference and control. Don't believe me? Watch the videos.

691. Fearful Sights and Wonders - November 26, 2022
When I became a Christian, going on 44 years ago, and began to study Bible prophecy in relation to religious history in the Western Hemisphere; Western civilization, my viewpoint was the same as everybody else: all power, signs and lying wonders, 2 Thes. 2:9, was speaking of supernatural things. Today, that viewpoint is changing, modifying, adapting to realities no one around me even thought about back then.
Despite the special effects in movies, until Princess Lea showed up as a hologram, in Star Wars, I cannot recall having an inkling of thought about last-day events being sewn into a fabric of technology. Telephones were attached to walls or sat on desks. Computers were the size of entire rooms and only high science and the military had the stuff, as far as the general public knew, anyway.
Then, it all began to change. Mobile phones, personal computers, Compact Disks, laptops, cell phones, digital pocket music players, tiny recorders and it just keeps getting... well, what word should be used here? Better? Not necessarily, if you read the warnings of scientists and sociologists. Interesting? Way too weak. Marvelous? Wondrous? Miraculous? When you begin using 'miraculous' you step over a line reserved for things generally thought to be in realms of the intervention of God.
I've commented before. The Jetsons was total fantasy when I was a child. Everything about the cartoon was simply imagination for entertainment. Its opposite was the Flintstones, set in prehistoric times. Both were hugely popular and still are, in re-runs. To see the reality of Jetsons' technology in my lifetime is incredible and yet, it is also common place now. It's no longer a surprise, a wonder. It's just more technology, advanced tech, expected, even if we don't know what is coming next. We expect it. Children are not surprised by it anymore. They've been playing with advancing technology for more than 30 years.
The Bible addresses a Satanic element of supernatural power overshadowing the world in the last days. At least, I always saw it as supernatural.
Mat 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
2Th 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
Rev 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Rev 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
What if it also includes things quite natural, if not amazing?
What would the apostles think if they saw a modern kitchen appliance, stereo, television, car, bulldozer, gigantic harvester, rocket, the international space station? They would not know what to think. They would completely overwhelmed. The only thing that would cause them any sense of calm would be human calm around it all.
Dead music stars are now being seen in concert formats as holograms. A.I. can compose music, create artwork, even create videos now, just by typing in a suggestion. As the entire world of technology changes functions for humanity, and with the desires of some, to incorporate technology into humanity - transhumanism - the possibilities of every Elon Musk or Ray Kurzweil out there amplifies by the week.
And yet, as fast as it all expands and drives forward, human civilization becomes used to new things rapidly. Especially is that the case with children and all this technology built into toys and articles of education they use and will use on a daily basis. "Amazing" is harder and harder to achieve. Well, at least lasting amazement. Things are changing so fast the parade of new amazing overshadows what was amazing just a year ago and has become commonplace.
What if technology gets used to deceive people? Will it be possible someday to create the second coming of Christ in the sky with holograms, if that suited the purposes of minds bent on control of civilization? What about a hologram of Christ walking about? Guards could be used to keep people far enough away to not be able to see exact details to ruin the effect created. Or, let's talk robots, getting more and more humanlike by the year. All of them fail human inspection but, again, technology is moving fast enough to know humanlike robots will exist someday soon. Believe it or not, scientists have now found ways to actually grow skin to cover robotic limbs. In its infancy, yes but, adolescence and adulthood come quick, as technology explodes.
Is it feasible to believe if you want an entire global populace to be deceived it could be done with technology? I would not be surprised if all of this already exists. Humanity is only aware and shown what the tall towers of money and control want us to know. Things are released as plans for greater control are put into action.
More and more people into ufology believe whatever is flying around is the result of huge corporations and their gargantuan budgets to invest in technology. An angel of light that is not even organic. It becomes a possibility with each passing month, literally. The things we can watch on YouTube of the progress of technology involves billions of dollars and nobody is going to spill beans that need to be kept in the bag until things are fully under control from theft, from copying, from counterfeits. It's a race for them; a carefully controlled race. And in fact, the race to establish medical use of nanobots is just as crucial to towers of money as artificial intelligence housed in metal and plastic.
Just the rise of Google should cause all humanity to ponder this subject. How did a search engine become one of the biggest, most powerful companies on the planet, able to invest as much money into technology as any other enormous corporation? Even now, billionaire, Mark Zuckerberg, is watching his empire hemorrhage people and money because social media is becoming old and hunts for the new are constantly marching. Twitter, as well, is going through the Musk acquisition and tremendous changes are taking place. Change is inevitable. Fast change is now normal. What took years, decades, now happens in months.
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Dan 12:4
While the principle thought there is knowledge of the book of Daniel and the visions contained in it, just in a general sense knowledge increases exponentially every year so that 99% of what humanity knows has been accumulated in our lifetime.
Jesus said to watch and pray, and that is a must, now. It's an absolute necessity. The possibilities of deceptions, delusions, lies and artifice are compounded constantly.
Know for a fact honest minds and hands will not have control of technology and its use. Money is power. Power corrupts, absolutely.
Always remember Christ came as a Babe, a carpenter, a countryside preacher who died at the hands of wicked, religious men, when His country preaching began to influence city consciousness and threaten the status quo. The big bucks are not held by the righteous. The righteous realize the love of money is the root of all evil, and the kingdom of God and citizenship in it, is not about money and materialism. It's about character. The wicked care not about any of that.
If we can expect technology to increase and amaze us, we can expect it to be used to control us in every possible capacity.
As it was in the days of Noah: evil thinking, corruption, violence.
God help us.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

The big bucks are not held by the righteous. The righteous realize the love of money is the root of all evil, and the kingdom of God and citizenship in it, is not about money and materialism. It's about character. The wicked care not about any of that.
If we can expect technology to increase and amaze us, we can expect it to be used to control us in every possible capacity.
As it was in the days of Noah: evil thinking, corruption, violence.
God help us.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

It's More Than Vast
Jeremy Harper counted to one million, live, in 89 days, and made it into the Guinness book of records. Maybe you watched part of his process as he did it. I never heard of him until today.
Congressman Tim Burchett professes to be a born-again Christian. He believes God is big enough and the universe certainly big enough to hold a whole lot more people than us. He is an outspoken person who makes no bones about corruption in the Federal government, and the entire UFO disclosure situation is part of that corruption and cover-up.
I watched a few interviews he's done about the subject and saw another one he did with the YT channel, Third phase of moon.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5tVVStYGjU
Burchett seems a very humble, regular, honest guy, completely frustrated with the way things are done in Washington, D.C. When asked why the government will not disclose everything it knows about the subject of UFOs; is it embarrassment of not having total control of our own skies, is it the fear of sending society, religious society into a tailspin, Burchett just says it's the arrogance of the club and those who run it.
There are many people of faith who believe life exists beyond Earth. I have stated my reasons for it, biblically, numerous times here and as I listened to Burchett I once again pondered the universe.
Eighty-nine days to count to one million.
31 years to count to one billion.
Now, science, in one century, went from believing there is one galaxy to one trillion galaxies in the universe.
If just one planet per galaxy contained intelligent life, that is one trillion worlds.
It would take someone, counting 16 hours a day, 240,000 years to count to one trillion. If you lived your three score and ten, 70 years, it would take almost 3500 lifetimes to count to that number.
Just one planet per galaxy, and that is the known universe, which could be far more vast, if not infinite in size, think of the time it would take to visit each one, spend some time checking it out, making friends, experiencing, learning, growing in mind and adoration for the Creator. It's mind boggling.
Eternity is not sitting on a cloud with a harp. Get real. Eternity is beyond anything we can imagine and understand at present.
It does not matter what the federal government says about UFOs. Nor does it matter if Satan uses the whole subject matter to stage a last-day deception. What matters is Christ, our connection to Him, and what awaits for those who labor for His kingdom now, and live in time and space and dimensions and opportunities beyond all we can ask or think when He returns.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

692. Was Jesus Christ a Transgender? - November 29, 2022
The question seems nonsensical to any reasoning person but, apparently, to a theology researcher at Cambridge, not so much.
https://nypost.com/2022/11/27/sermon-about-jesus-trans-body-and-vaginal-side-wound-shocks-churchgoers-who-shout-heresy/
The Balenciaga scandal, for those who believe pedophilia is sick beyond abomination, is something that just continues to show the prophetic, Babylonian confusion of the times we live in. The times of Noah, the times of Sodom and Gomorrah are here. Evil is real. The fight between good and evil is ramping up. Christians know the war is already won; it's just constant battles along the way that must be fought, and I am thankful to know there are people in this world that can be shocked by something so egregiously ridiculous as Jesus having a "transgender body."
Read the article linked to. The original is from a website that requires signing up for a free trial period to read so, I left it out but, stories based on that article are all over the web. Take your pick. Most are from the viewpoint of a negative reaction. The Post article is pretty much spelled out in 4 paragraphs:
"A dean at the University of Cambridge in the UK came to the defense of a junior research fellow whose sermon last Sunday about Jesus Christ having a “trans body” reportedly left outraged congregants “in tears.”
"Dr. Michael Banner, the dean of Trinity College, said Joshua Heath raised “legitimate” speculation in his Evensong sermon, during which the researcher claimed from the pulpit of Trinity College chapel that non-erotic portrayals of Jesus’ penis in historical paintings “urge a welcoming rather than hostile response towards the raised voices of trans people,” according to The Daily Telegraph.
“In Christ’s simultaneously masculine and feminine body in these works, if the body of Christ as these works suggest the body of all bodies, then his body is also the trans body,” Heath said.
"Heath, whose PhD in theology was supervised by the former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, also claimed that in one of the Medieval paintings he displayed to the congregation, the spear wound in Jesus’ side “takes on a decidedly vaginal appearance.” In another, he pointed out how the blood from his side flows to his groin."
The first logical observation any reasonable person should make is that artwork should never be used to lay a foundation for doctrine or religious fact. Make a comment about the historical or perceived attitude of an artist, sure. That means nothing to truth about the artist's subject matter. I mean seriously? What would an alien think of Donald Trump if all it knew and saw were artistic impressions of him from Leftists, or for that matter, people on the Right who make him out to be a "superhero." Art is termed "art" for a reason.
Second, consider this fact. Yeshua was a carpenter. He worked with tools all day long. He carved and chipped away and hung beams into place. He dug ditches for foundation stones and all the other work carpenters did back then. He was a hard working Man. He looked like a hard working Man. He was not some effeminate creature as is so often portrayed in religious artwork.
Third, when He fasted for 40 days in the wilderness, the Bible says angels came and ministered to Him. He was in a near-death condition. Considerable changes took place to his body through such an ordeal. Muscle mass lessens exponentially. He certainly became thinner, no doubt but, not just thin. Emaciated would be closer to the truth. The Bible does not say but, logic over such a situation comes into play here. How much vigor and vitality did Christ return to as He began His ministry must be left up to unknown history. We know He walked miles, as did all other people not owning horses or donkeys with wagons for travel. Walk every day for three and half years and no one will tell you, you will not become a healthy specimen.
The vagina comment from the young researcher is lamentable and way off base, especially in a service with children present. What is then worse is those in a position of responsibility backing the researcher up. If the guy wanted to say artists had a particular view of Christ, from their own historical, cultural sense of humanity, biblically speaking, so be it but, without documentation of some kind, that too, is unworthy of something called "research." Frankly, how anyone could look at a spear wound in the side of Christ and see a bleeding vagina is so off the wall the researcher will be thankful if people of faith hold their tongues or he'd drown in a tsunami of condemnation and aspersions of his own perceived mental capacity and personal sexuality.
If I typed here and stated the young researcher must be a member of the LGBTQ, etc., community and did so from a traditional Christian viewpoint of homosexuality and sexual deviancy, anyone could slam me for stating such without a shred of documentation to back me up, and they would be right in doing so. I will state the researcher, is not much of a researcher. That much is evident. He places modern culture into artwork, centuries old. There were no transgender movements back then, nor any physical or medical way to accomplish such a pursuit. Did ancient artists have an understanding of what a "transgender body" looks like? Transvestites, yes. Transgenders? No. Homosexuality, even in the clergy, yes, as well as all other sins known to man. History lays them all out for anyone who can read, to see. And just what is a "transgender body" anyway? Is it the body of "Rachel" Levine, Biden's Assistant Health Secretary? What about this lengthy White House Fact Sheet on "Transgender Day Visibility" -
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/03/31/fact-sheet-biden-harris-administration-advances-equality-and-visibility-for-transgender-americans/
I'd like to see a definition and example of a "trans body." I would imagine it is just as scientifically absent as a gene that expresses homosexuality.
In the artwork the Post depicts, we see a young man, possibly the apostle John, portrayed in an effeminate way. If the older man is supposed to be Joseph, liberty was taken to assume Joseph was still alive at that point in history and at the age Joseph would have been, should look more fragile than Christ is portrayed as. If that is the Heavenly Father being portrayed, the entire scene is erroneous. If it is Joseph of Arimathea portrayed, he who asked for the body of Christ for burial, he, too, as a religious cleric, should look like someone given to religious studies everyday, not someone twice the size of Christ.
Then, look at the two angels portrayed. They look like children. Nowhere in the Bible are angels portrayed as anything but, majestic beings of incredible strength, unless they take on form of average males. Angels are not children. Children that pass away do not become angels. What is portrayed are cherubs, a mythical, pagan form of creature, common to artwork from predominantly Roman Catholic European history.
The other four subjects in the painting are possibly disciples, also in miniature, childlike form. Some might logically say, 'It's a plate, a charger. There's only so much room to paint the scene of taking Christ's body down from the cross.' Ah. That is supposed to answer for the artistic license. Well, there you go. Art should not and cannot be used to state fact for doctrine, or even speculation for history. Especially if the Bible already states information on any given subject. Artwork either corroborates that truth, or stands against it.
Anyone familiar with the Gospels would also make this observation. Christ was whipped within an inch of His life. No artwork of the time period, that I am familiar with, paints or depicts the full reality of such a horrifying, gut wrenching scene, out of respect for the Saviour. I think the only time I actually saw such a thing was an old Jack Chick comic book decades ago. And it was done for effect, not for art's sake.
If you are not familiar with such a scene, consider the history of the Roman whips used to penalize criminals. Leather straps in which bone chips were affixed. The skin was shredded. That should be enough to stop right there and have the Reader understand, religious artwork has both flaws of commission and omission. The reasons why do not matter. Art is art and everyone into art has their reasons for portraying anything and liking or disliking anything portrayed.
“The College would like to make clear the following,” a spokesperson for Trinity College said, according to The Daily Mail. “Neither the Dean of Trinity College nor the researcher giving the sermon suggested Jesus was transgender.”
“The sermon addressed the image of Christ depicted in art and various interpretations of those artistic portrayals,” the spokesperson continued. “The sermon’s exploration of the nature of religious art, in the spirit of thought-provoking academic inquiry, was in keeping with open debate and dialogue at the University of Cambridge.”
Honestly, that's all spin and rescue BS. The uproar is legitimate. Leave the transgender stuff out of it and just ask yourself if a spear wound looks like a vagina, and should be part of the sermon in a traditional religious service. Maybe some talk in an art class, open for discussion and rebuttal. A church service with children present?
Ah but, you see the Balenciaga scandal is showing the perversions in society, and all the talk of pedophile societies and clubs and groups, in high places, and all the trafficking of children takes on more and more truth and less and less "conspiracy theory" with each passing year.
It's been years since "pizzagate." I have no problem at all believing the truth of such a discovery. Certainly less so today, then when I first stumbled upon the subject. The world is sick. Getting more and more sick all the time and will, till it is put out of its wicked misery when Christ returns.
Woe unto those who are involved in the breakdown of society. Not just their own sins but, the exploitations and temptations upon all others will lay at their doorstep in the day of judgment.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

693. I'll Say It, Too, Again - November 30, 2022
Like I have said for awhile now, back through recent decades pundits were saying, This is the election of our lifetimes. Well, 2020 and 2022 were the elections of America's lifetime. They were elections that had more international ramifications and international involvement than any others in American history. They were criminal enterprises in many states, especially seven "swing states;" states whose vote outcomes decide national elections. The proof of that is so rigidly clear, if you doubt it, your mind is not functioning correctly, on purpose or by default for some reason, medical or otherwise. I'm not sorry if that offends you. You should not only be offended but, ashamed, if you call yourself an American. Ignorance of such a thing on such a level, if you are of voting age, makes you an enormous part of the problems America is now sinking with.
What took place in Arizona is not just criminal, it is absolutely traitorous, treasonous; a disgusting display of such cowardice and avarice for corruption, in the face of HUNDREDS of eyewitnesses who testified of election irregularities they witnessed, you have to logically think, were the supervisors of Maricopa County and others all threatened by Deep State? Are they afraid for their lives and the lives of their threatened families? We know one county was threatened by Katie Hobbs, the Secretary of State, now governor elect, if they did not certify the election. The mind-bending, revolting conflict of interest on her part is one for the ages. It's a level of corruption exceeding imagination for American politics. I suppose only the assassination of Kennedy and 9/11 are worse, and those were national events, and as yet, have no proven perpetrators, despite all the theories. Her corruption is so out in the open and seen for what it is, it rises to that level of the worse events in the nation's history. Threatening a county that wants to honor the rule of law is so egregious it's almost unthinkable but, Americans have seen the unthinkable for a couple decades now, and it just keeps getting worse. Evil, pure evil, is now in control. Hobbs is a puppet, to be sure; obeying the will of her masters but, that is no excuse. It's just a pathetic reason.
Well, the Civil War had its times. The expansion West saw it's wild side. The Roaring 20's saw enough corruption in major cities like Chicago and New York, still ominously present, to become static caricatures of American political cartoons and opinion writers. Now, in the 21st century, like all great nations and empires before it, America is no more. "America," defined by its Constitution and Bill of Rights, it's free and fair elections, as well as its societal fabric of faith in God, is not strong enough to stem the tide of bold, open, criminal corruption, with a ruling class in control that openly denounces patriotism and belief in God, and every other facet of what made America the desire of nations.
I have already stated it and will state it again, with others saying it all over the web, America is toast. America ceases to exist, as America, the Constitutional Republic. It's rule of law is trashed. It's borders are meaningless. Its economy is being ruined. It's ability to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic, is gone. An aging, mentally impaired, criminal, creepy old man is in what used to be the most powerful position in the modern world.
It is not just a cultural demise that exists, though that is a lion's share of the matter. It is the lack of fight that once gripped Americans in times of stress and attack, that weathered storms and wars and was the desire of the world to get to such a place of freedom and liberty and create a life of substance and purpose and success, and generations willing to fight to the death to save it under discouraging circumstances. Brazil is fighting back. China is fighting back. European nations are fighting back. Citizens of Iran have risen up, again, knowing certain death is the price to pay if their protests do not create change from tyrannical rule. The world is just as Jesus said it would be before His return - the sea and the waves roaring - the voices of multitudes in a state of agitation and upheaval. It's going to get worse or, better, depending on your point of view but, in America, the wind is out of the sails. Regardless of 80% of the population sick and tired of the way politicians, at all levels of governance, are wrecking their lives, millions do not take to the streets in America. It's never been needed before, to rise up against our own government to protect our liberties and rule of law, and Americans of suitable age to rise up and fight are mostly lost to a culture of death, defeatism, materialism and whatever other "ism" that fits the current condition of a nation once considered the greatest on Earth.
I have also mentioned it numerous times in the last couple of years that America has a prophetic destiny. She will fulfill that destiny - someday. Now, it seems pretty obvious God is going to let America reap what it has sown and once again prove the Tytler cycle true.
Should I not make it to three score and ten and beyond, I will not have to face the tyranny coming, right on our doorsteps. My children will. One is in Canada, already controlled by a globalist puppet and legislature, ruining that nation's history of freedom and liberty.
Leftism, Liberalism, is the destruction of anything that is linked to freedom, liberty, self-control and self-governance. It is rule by force, always.
Voices are saying the war is not over yet: that there is yet time to rise up and fight. How? Honestly. How? Not by voting. That's obvious as a train wreck. Not by protesting. Hundreds stood before the Maricopa County supervisors and they pseudo-listened and sat there with arrogant faces and certified the election anyway. America is way too weak for insurrection and revolt. It does not matter how many firearms exist in the hands of the citizenry. Police departments under the control of tyrants are outfitted like armies now. Intimidation is the song of tyrants. SWAT was called out to make a show of force for the Maricopa County meeting to certify the election, just to let everyone know that Kari Lake did not have the attention of the police departments she thought she had. Push comes to shove, the police operate at the pleasure of mayors and governors and unless you have the probable courage of what is going to take place in Brazil, if the communists cannot maintain control, police are paid servants, literally. So, is the military. The American military, police, elected civil servants, all taking oaths to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. It's evaporated to death threatening levels. I hope I am proven wrong. I hope America survives to fulfill its prophetic destiny, even if that destiny is to ultimately stand against God, in the name of God.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

It is the lack of fight that once gripped Americans in times of stress and attack, that weathered storms and wars and was the desire of the world to get to such a place of freedom and liberty and create a life of substance and purpose and success, and generations willing to fight to the death to save it under discouraging circumstances. Brazil is fighting back. China is fighting back. European nations are fighting back. Citizens of Iran have risen up, again, knowing certain death is the price to pay if their protests do not create change from tyrannical rule. The world is just as Jesus said it would be before His return - the sea and the waves roaring - the voices of multitudes in a state of agitation and upheaval. It's going to get worse or, better, depending on your point of view but, in America, the wind is out of the sails. Regardless of 80% of the population sick and tired of the way politicians, at all levels of governance, are wrecking their lives, millions do not take to the streets in America. It's never been needed before, to rise up against our own government to protect our liberties and rule of law, and Americans of suitable age to rise up and fight are mostly lost to a culture of death, defeatism, materialism and whatever other "ism" that fits the current condition of a nation once considered the greatest on Earth.
I have also mentioned it numerous times in the last couple of years that America has a prophetic destiny. She will fulfill that destiny - someday. Now, it seems pretty obvious God is going to let America reap what it has sown and once again prove the Tytler cycle true.
Should I not make it to three score and ten and beyond, I will not have to face the tyranny coming, right on our doorsteps. My children will. One is in Canada, already controlled by a globalist puppet and legislature, ruining that nation's history of freedom and liberty.
Leftism, Liberalism, is the destruction of anything that is linked to freedom, liberty, self-control and self-governance. It is rule by force, always.
Voices are saying the war is not over yet: that there is yet time to rise up and fight. How? Honestly. How? Not by voting. That's obvious as a train wreck. Not by protesting. Hundreds stood before the Maricopa County supervisors and they pseudo-listened and sat there with arrogant faces and certified the election anyway. America is way too weak for insurrection and revolt. It does not matter how many firearms exist in the hands of the citizenry. Police departments under the control of tyrants are outfitted like armies now. Intimidation is the song of tyrants. SWAT was called out to make a show of force for the Maricopa County meeting to certify the election, just to let everyone know that Kari Lake did not have the attention of the police departments she thought she had. Push comes to shove, the police operate at the pleasure of mayors and governors and unless you have the probable courage of what is going to take place in Brazil, if the communists cannot maintain control, police are paid servants, literally. So, is the military. The American military, police, elected civil servants, all taking oaths to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. It's evaporated to death threatening levels. I hope I am proven wrong. I hope America survives to fulfill its prophetic destiny, even if that destiny is to ultimately stand against God, in the name of God.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

694. Gotcha! - December 1, 2022
I know little about Kanye West. I see headlines. He calls himself "Ye" now, apparently, and he wants to run for President of the United States of America. No joke.
I know West was a popular Rap artist, or is it Hip Hop? Both? Don't really know. Don't really care.
Apparently he became a Christian. That's good news about the Good News. His wife, the subject of a sexualized society to the extreme, adorning more magazine covers at the check out line than any female in American history (I don't know that that's true, just seems that way), is somehow involved with Balenciaga. Nope, haven't checked the facts on that, either. Maybe she's an endorser of the fashionwear. With the pedo-scam in full orbit now, she is trying to do some damage control of her image, as are others who have endorsed the company.
Honestly, I do not know, nor care if Ye and she are still married.
Ye showed up at Trump's beach camp for dinner, supposedly to ask questions about political stuff and showed up with uninvited guests. Now the GOP is using the fiasco of the public statements and beliefs of those uninvited guests to roast Trump and as always, do their best to put him in the worst light possible because they hate him. They really do. He is the biggest monkey wrench thrown into the GOP in its history. Politics is money and power and regardless of Trump's ability to rally the troops, both civil and military, to greater patriotism, he stands in the way of corruption in the GOP and D.C. as a whole.
This is the biggest "Gotcha" moment to come along in years for these rapscallion's and denizens of darkness. Frankly, Mitch McConnel has zip for stones to throw. Last I saw, 80% of Republicans do not want that man representing leadership of the Party. He is as sleezy as anyone in the Democrat Party. All that is not really the subject matter here, though.
Kanye West does not have much going for understanding basic manners and decorum. He showed it in his visits to the White House and obviously at Mara Lago. Now, I am seeing information gathering that the entire episode was a planned hit on Trump, between "Ye" and the GOP. Remove Trump's influence, Ye is promised help with his campaign, the GOP knowing full well West hasn't got a prayer at being elected POTUS. It has nothing to do with West's view on Jewish influence in American politics and culture, either, though all things considered if 100% of West's public statements were an accurate assessment, nothing would change because of the very accuracy of his statements, if you see what I mean. Powerful people are not brought down by exposure anymore. Powerful people control too much of the information process via corporate controlled news outlets, etc. So, if, indeed, Jews run the world, then they run the world and nobody is going to change that. I have spoken to the issue myself, here on these pages. Historical facts show Zionists have tremendous power and control of a great deal of what happens in America and the world. The thing that people fail to recognize is the difference between Jews/Hebrews and Zionists. It is the same kind of difference as many, if not most everyday Muslims and the Muslim Brotherhood. Huge difference. The same difference as everyday Catholics and the Jesuit priesthood. Nowadays we see it is the same difference as regular Republicans and GOP leadership, the biggest bunch of scallywags in politics.
What all this means is that after seven years of Trump in D.C. politics he has learned nothing of how to vet and surround himself with true, trustworthy allies and continues to be so naive he is constantly in trouble for reasons that lie at his own political doorstep. He has announced his run for POTUS. West and his friends should have been politely declined entrance to Trump's abode. It should have rested on West for his lack of civility. Trump, once again, shoots himself in the foot.
Right now, the best thing Trump could do is come out strong against the swamp, the cabal that has brought disability and death upon the world with Covid and everything put in place to wreck the world and its population. Humbly and deeply apologize and warn people. THAT is the most pressing issue right now. Every, single day people, young and old, are dying from the injections. "Died suddenly" is a constant flow of dual words in daily headlines, not in main stream media of course but, alternative news outlets staying abreast of the situation. It does not matter what "Ye" thinks of Jews. Nor does it matter if Trump runs in 2024. If he has had the "vaccines" and boosters, there is no guarantee he even makes it to 2024, and that goes for the billions injected along with him.
I do not care a whit if you think I am off the wall with such an assessment. Logically, based on the evidence, I know it is fact. I know it is true. Many will not believe it until someone close to them becomes debilitated or dies suddenly, for no good reason other than receiving the injections.
Trump would never receive my vote, not just for being far too naive to be POTUS but, for championing a bioweapon that he pushed and fast-tracked into being and continues to endorse. Buffoon! Or worse, he's in on it, supported by drug company money, and has played the biggest fake role of any person in human history. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, he still has no business asking Americans to support him and yet, millions are ready to elect him again, if not see the 2020 election corrected. Ands for one reason only - to see Trump hit back at everyone corrupt in D.C. Trump will die from an assassin's bullet before the swamp is ever drained by a Trump administration.
'Gotcha!' politics has reduced governance to grammar school playground antics of children. Evil children, at that, and yes, evil children exist. Regardless of the influences that make them that way, they do exist. Satan is definitely an equal opportunity employer. He'll use any and all to accomplish his agenda. Matters not to him.
At this point it is complete nonsense to believe ANYONE in America can help anything to correct itself by being elected POTUS. Not going to happen. The forces at work for control are a thousand times bigger than whoever sits in the Oval Office. Donald Trump has shown, time and time again, it should not be him.
Sure, he did a lot of positive things. The economy generally runs much smoother with a Republican in office, any office, because they have always believed in the free-market system and lower taxation, and fewer regulations, etc. Yet, the ONE THING he promised to do that he did not do is drain the swamp. The swamp drained him, BIGTIME, and if the pirates running the GOP have their way, along with Democrats, Trump will not come close to entering the White House again. If nothing else, criminal theft of elections proves that. It has held up without any, serious protest from anyone in the GOP thus far. 2022 has come, and left the building, with millions of people standing in disbelief the Republicans are just as corrupt as the Democrats. DUH.
It's unfortunate but, the fault lies at Trump's own door. He has not yet learned how to surround himself with people he can truly trust. We all know what that feels like.
Bite me once, the dog's fault. Bite me twice, my fault.

695. Quite a Week of Headlines - December 2, 2022
Let's get Satan out of the way first. Christians are all in a rage at Disney's new Tim Allen, Santa Clause movie with a scene that shows children with placards that spell out 'WE LOVE YOU SATAN.'
Mrs. Clause bursts out laughing. "Santa" says "Spelling!" The kids/elves freak out and change positions, and it's obvious the scene is a gag.
Frankly, given Disney's history with portraying evil characters, including the dark lord in Fantasia, what exactly do parents expect from this now, seriously '"woke" corporate empire?
That certainly is not the first time that gag has been used in a movie.
Here's a 23 second clip of the scene -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dR5WOn8HY24&t=22s
Something Christians should be far more concerned about is the new law protecting "marriage" among homosexuals. Every Christian institution from schools to hospitals become a target now. It's an obvious attack on the faith. In Great Britain it has gotten worse.
https://stream.org/war-on-christian-culture-uk-prosecutor-called-bible-passage-no-longer-appropriate-in-modern-society/
"A Christian street preacher faced charges of violating the Public Order Act by engaging in “threatening,” “abusive,” and “insulting” speech in telling a lesbian couple that homosexuals will not “inherit the kingdom of heaven,” citing the Bible. In defending the case against him, a prosecutor wrote that “there are references in the bible [sic] which are simply no longer appropriate in modern society and which would be offensive if stated in public” (emphasis original).
Consider the gravity here. If you insult someone, you can be arrested. This is not the opinion of some person with zero clout in society. This is the position of a paid prosecuting attorney with an attitude foreign to British history, save for when Catholics were on the throne and banned the Bible. The street preacher was let go because the lesbians did not show up to testify. Otherwise, said preacher would have found himself in jail for believing and saying something foundational to British religious history. Up is down, right is wrong, wrong is right. Babylon. Confusion. Sins reaching to heaven. The judgment of God is approaching.
Will the crown now control sermon content? Are ministers going to be arrested for taking a biblical stand against something so obviously sinful in Scripture a child can see it? The British Crown before God, the Almighty Sovereign of the universe? It's the most preposterous thing imaginable but, it's an enormous sign of the times. 'Sodom and Gomorrah' are gaining in strength by the year now.
Here's a headline that says it all -
"Account Closed: Banks and Businesses Cancel Christians"
https://www.faithwire.com/2022/12/01/account-closed-banks-and-businesses-cancel-christians/
The hypocrisy of this building wall being built to hedge in and remove Christians from functioning society is really obvious. Muslims believe many of the same social and moral standards that Bible-believing Christians hold to, and some which Christians absolutely reject as barbaric. See any headlines of banks or businesses canceling Muslims? No. Why? Because Muslims will play a much different sympathy card when they are singled out for any reason. Nobody wants to openly mess with Islam. The results can be far worse than a bunch of woke protesters.
Despite that hypocrisy from the Leftists running these corporations and businesses, when did green money become tainted by someone's religious faith? It's value does not change. But, you see, the Constitution's provisions for free speech and freedom of conscience just does not work for Leftists who refuse to acknowledge them. They are not Americans. Make no mistake about that. Americans regard the Constitution and rule of law in the highest regard when it comes to citizenship. Those who deny those principles are not Americans, regardless of their physical citizenship status. They are apostates or dissemblers or aligned with tyranny, communism, whatever but, they are not Americans, in true principle. They are absolute enemies of the American Republic.
Speaking of Christians as citizens, preacher/politician Raphael Warnock, claiming anyone who stands against him is from the devil, has now been caught to be involved in a serious money laundering scheme -
EXCLUSIVE: “Campaign Finance Mules” Identified in Georgia Senate Race – Democrat Raphael Warnock Received Over $24 Million from Hundreds of UNEMPLOYED Donors Giving Over 358,000 Donations
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/12/shocking-huge-exclusive-georgias-raphael-warnock-received-24-million-money-mules-unemployed-gave-small-amounts-358000-donations/
Will officials in Georgia look into this? Doubtful. Criminal activity is now the norm in politics and the only thing that matters is election, not how you get elected.
In the last post I mentioned there are evil children. Well, check this story out -
https://nypost.com/2022/12/01/boy-10-shot-mom-dead-because-she-refused-to-make-amazon-purchase-cops/
A 10 yr. old boy gets the keys, gets the gun out of the lock box, shoots his mother. Ten. She would not buy him something he wanted. The child's mind warped somewhere along the line of his young existence. Expect to see much more of this kind of thing as demons gain more and more influence and control of society.
I remember the first time I saw a shocking headline about some teenagers shooting another teenager to death for his sneakers. Senseless violence. That was back in the 90's. Now we're down to 10 years old.
In the area of health -
"The gross stuff legally allowed in YOUR favorite food by the FDA: Five RAT HAIRS in a jar of peanut butter, 30 insect limbs in a chocolate bar and rodent droppings in popcorn
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-11486395/FDA-allows-10mg-animal-poop-coffee-four-rodent-hairs-peanut-butter.html
It's always telling when a British news outlet has stories American news outlets refuse to cover.
One need not wonder about this because this has been the case for decades. I remember stating these kinds of statistics back in the 80's, in seminars. If you read the article expect to be grossed out.
"Died Suddenly" is a documentary freight train, picking up millions of views. The headlines echo the documentation. I've seen at least six headlines of people dying suddenly, including a 50 year old man that was part of the Dog the Bounty Hunter program; a 21 year old social media influencer; a 53 year old personal trainer that looked like a serious body builder; more athletes, more young people, more and more and more and we have only begun. The point will come when the obvious nature of the attack on humanity will be impossible not to realize and see in horrifying reality.
To that end, 'Dr. Death,' Anthony Fauci, is in Sen. Rand Paul's sights -

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/12/caught-red-handed-wont-get-away-senator-rand-paul-accuses-fauci-funding-research-caused-7-million-people-die-video/
I wouldn't bet on that. As much as Fauci should be put away, it is unlikely he will be and if he was, would just get pardoned by brain-impaired Biden.
Corruption, my friends, is everywhere, in everything, and is going to get worse.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Here's one to add -
"Maryland Pastor Faces Federal Charges for Arranging 60 Fraudulent Marriages"
"According to the Department of Justice, a Maryland pastor was indicted last week for allegedly arranging 60 fraudulent marriages in the past seven years in order to give foreigners permanent residence in the United States.
Pastor Joshua Olatokunbo Shonubi, who leads NewLife City Church, Inc. in Hyattsville, was indicted for arranging the fraudulent marriages of American citizens with foreign nationals between January 2014 and January 2021."
https://www.christianheadlines.com/contributors/milton-quintanilla/maryland-pastor-faces-federal-charges-for-arranging-60-fraudulent-marriages.html
I'm not going to argue that what the man allegedly did is illegal but, seriously???
One to two million people a year just illegally walk across the southern border of this nation and nobody does a thing. They marry American nationals, the justice department does nothing about this literal invasion of people, many of whom are the most dangerous criminals, and even terrorists that form cells, joining radical Mosques with radical clerics preaching American subjugation to Allah, claiming the right to practice Shariah law over American laws. Nothing is done. The pastor marries 60 couples to have 30 of them become legal citizens. He gets arrested.
You cannot make this stuff up.
Mrs. Clause bursts out laughing. "Santa" says "Spelling!" The kids/elves freak out and change positions, and it's obvious the scene is a gag.

"According to the Department of Justice, a Maryland pastor was indicted last week for allegedly arranging 60 fraudulent marriages in the past seven years in order to give foreigners permanent residence in the United States.
Pastor Joshua Olatokunbo Shonubi, who leads NewLife City Church, Inc. in Hyattsville, was indicted for arranging the fraudulent marriages of American citizens with foreign nationals between January 2014 and January 2021."

I'm not going to argue that what the man allegedly did is illegal but, seriously???
One to two million people a year just illegally walk across the southern border of this nation and nobody does a thing. They marry American nationals, the justice department does nothing about this literal invasion of people, many of whom are the most dangerous criminals, and even terrorists that form cells, joining radical Mosques with radical clerics preaching American subjugation to Allah, claiming the right to practice Shariah law over American laws. Nothing is done. The pastor marries 60 couples to have 30 of them become legal citizens. He gets arrested.
You cannot make this stuff up.

696. Will the Catholic Church Split? - Dec. 3, 2022
It should be known the Roman Church already split in the 11th century, creating the Eastern Orthodox churches.
There's also a group known as Sedevacantists, "sede vacante," which means "the seat is vacant." Some members maintain presence in the RCC, while others broke away and even have their own pope. They believe Vatican 2 corrupted the faith with "Modernism" and since Pius XII or John XXIII, no true pope has sat in the chair of Peter. They are seriously traditional Roman Catholics.
Today, though, amid decades of scandals of one kind or another, the current Pontiff has been a consistent thorn in the side of those who hold to traditional teachings. A recent event in the Church has taken that thorn to deeper pain for many.
"Pope Francis is encouraging dissident bishops to spread error and sinful teaching"
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/pope-francis-is-encouraging-dissident-bishops-to-spread-error-and-sinful-teaching/?utm_source=news&utm_campaign=usa
"Pope Francis gave crucial support to the German and Belgian bishops in their heterodoxy during their respective visits to Rome, with devastating consequences for the Catholic Church.
"VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — It is becoming increasingly clear that Pope Francis is not only permitting but encouraging dissident bishops to continue promoting non-Catholic actions, a fact which is rapidly accentuating the risk of a formal schism within the Catholic Church.
"From November 14 through 19 the German Bishops’ Conference (DBK) visited Rome, amid heightened speculation of a showdown between the bishops and the Vatican over Germany’s controversial Synodal Way. The Synodal Way, launched in December 2019, promotes a number of contraventions of Catholic teaching on topics such as homosexuality, female deacons, and contraception."
Lifesite is a Catholic website devoted to the subject and stopping of abortion.
Protestants wouldn't have much concern for this subject of a Roman Catholic schism. They have their own splits to address, like the recent split in the Methodist Church.
Jesus said plainly divisions would come in the faith. John, Paul, Peter and Jude all warned of an apostasy that would split the early church. Historically, that was the development of Roman Catholic Church and it's Papacy; a "vice Christ," which Paul called "the man of sin."
Why should this matter be important to Protestants? Prophetically speaking such a schism would cause a real internal inspection of the Catholic faith on the part of hundreds of millions of Catholic members who really do not know what the RCC teaches and stands for on dozens, if not hundreds of different points Romanism has come up with over the centuries. Sure, children and youth go to "catechism;" doctrinal instruction classes but, it was pretty much a nothing influence in my day. Today, even less so. People are Catholics simply because it was the faith of their great grandfathers, grandfathers and fathers. Factually the same could be said for members of most other churches, as well. When I became a Protestant, I learned more about Catholicism than I ever knew as boy. I rejected God altogether at 13 and remained an atheist until I was 24, when I gave my life to Christ.
The RCC/Papacy is anti-Christ and that is only made more so by the entrance of Vatican State, the process of the healing of the deadly wound stated in Revelation 13. One of the reasons for the delay of the second coming of Christ is simply the agitated 20th century of Roman Catholic turmoil and scandal. Babylon is made up of the RCC, apostate Protestantism, and the kings of the earth, which takes in all other religions, and non-religious humanity. Mother has lost too much of her influence and power, while her daughters have stagnated in their process of joining Mother to bring about a one world superchurch that influences the world in a great, false miracle-working revival. If the Roman Church splits, prophecy takes on another detour into time and delay.
In one sense a schism in the RCC is good news for the world because it's true doctrines go on display, and people can see more clearly why a Protestant Reformation began to begin with. No power in the history of the world has more political intrigue than the RCC. The RCC has been doing a lot of damage control for the last 30 years, especially, with the pedophile and homosexual situations in its ministry. It has lost a lot of influence which must be regained to fulfill its prophetic destiny. JP2 was instrumental in gaining back ground lost in the early and mid- 20th century. Francis is scattering much of that away. He's playing his cards like most popes have, trying to pick the major players they need to cozy up to. Remember, she is called a fornicating woman in prophecy. She does not marry her lovers. She maintains illicit relations with them, for the sole purpose of gaining an edge in world-wide control. Her own apostasy from her own stated centuries old faith has given time for the reemergence of Islam, as well as atheism and paganism, which all need to bend the knee to Rome, and shall at some point, once the power, signs and lying wonders kick in. Never forget that crucial point. The Dragon shall use Rome as his instrument of biggest deception when the final movements kick in.
Right now Francis is courting Communism as the West and its financial stability weakens. It's a huge chess game.
America is in its own demise and fall from its own power and prophetic destiny. Everything is in a state of flux. No one can know when it will all gel back together in the final events of Earth's history. It shall, no doubt. Prophecy does not fail. Detours are real, though. Time is in God's hands, not man's, though man certainly has a significant role to play in how events line up. A schism in the RCC would not help those necessary developments.
Francis will be replaced some day. I'd expect another JP2-type pope to replace him. A charismatic, world figure that can play a final roll in the fall of the prophetic dominoes.
Time will tell.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

697. Anti-Semitism - December 3, 2022
Anti-Semitism. What's going on? From my observations it seems more and more information is coming out about the influence of Jewish players in world affairs, via the internet, of course. The world-wide-web has changed the planet's population in such significantly negative ways it's difficult to assess. Information contains both elements of truth and error. Malinformation, misinformation and disinformation have become artforms.
Over the years I have seen things about the Jewish influence in the 19th and 20th centuries. Kanye West has obviously come into contact with that same type of information. What concerns me is not anti-Semitism. There are anti-somethings for everything today. What we should ask ourselves is why anti-Semitism now?
Everybody who does a little reading knows about the Jewish banking families that control huge amounts of money in this world, like the Rothchild's. We know the names like Kissinger, Albright, and so many others in American politics it is commonplace. What kind of influence do they have, collectively?
"From the Vatican to the Kremlin, from the White House to Capitol Hill, the world's movers and shakers view American Jewry as a force to be reckoned with. At home the Jewish community is sought out as an ally--or confronted as a worthy rival--by political parties, labor unions, churches, and interest groups as diverse as the civil rights movement and the Christian Coalition. The New York offices of the American Jewish Committee and the Anti-Defamation League have become obligatory stops for presidents and prime ministers visiting the United Nations or passing through en route to Washington. More than a dozen foreign embassies in Washington have diplomats assigned to a semi-official "Jewish desk," in charge of maintaining friendly ties with the Jewish community.
"Part of the new mythos of American Jews is that we're not a minority anymore--we've become part of the majority, and psychologically, that means something fantastically subtle," says political scientist David Luchins, a vice president of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America and senior aide to New York's Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan. "We are accepted now. We have access. The president of the United States meets regularly with the Jewish leadership. There's an incredible thing. You look back on the last twenty-five or thirty years and you have to stand in awe that this really has happened--in my lifetime, it really happened. We have arrived."

Bear in mind that statement is from a Jewish author, JJ Goldberg in his book - Jewish Power,
Inside the American Jewish Establishment.
From a Washington Post book review -
"In the Circles of Influence
By Franklin Foer
"Sunday, December 29, 1996; Page X04
"A book about Jewish influence in Washington will tweak raw nerves, and J.J. Goldberg knows it. American Jews, he argues, are not at all comfortable with public discussions about their political power. Memories of pogroms and the Holocaust are too pungent. For many, the idea of Jewish power is an unthinkable oxymoron -- how could a people so recently beaten up be powerful? Besides, some fret, best not to talk about Jewish political power too publicly and feed the wild imaginations of anti-Semites.
"J.J. Goldberg, son of Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg, has made it his mission to offend these sensibilities. He boldly pledges to go "Inside the American Jewish Establishment" and to explain how a group that constitutes less than 3 percent of the population has a remarkable knack for getting what it wants in Washington."
https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/longterm/books/reviews/jewishpower.htm
Kanye West is not new to pushing information about Jews in powerful positions. In all modern entertainment, in all business and banking, in all sectors of society Jews have names at the top of every list. If that is true, what logical conclusion could be drawn? Jews get power and control. That is not anti-Semitism. That's just common sense conclusion by observation. Is it the outworking of some plan? If it is, so what? It's been pulled off. What do people want? Another holocaust? By exposing Jewish influence and power you expect them all to just go away? Please. Do let us have common sense.
Since the crucifixion of Christ, well way before that, actually, Jews, seeing themselves as "the chosen people," has placed them in significant historical situations but, since the crucifixion, Jews have been branded in the West as the Christ killers. The New Testament plainly states the Jewish leadership were responsible for the death of Christ. They manipulated the Roman authorities. Rome was the tool of necessity. "We have no king but, Caesar. Let His [Christ's] blood be on our heads." And so it has been for the last 2,000 years. The ancient Jews, themselves, are responsible for Anti-Semitism. Bear in mind, of course, that the Christian church was made up of Jews first, then Gentiles, who totally outgrew the Jewish membership. The Bible of the early church was the Old Testament. There was no New Testament for decades, at the beginning.
Jesus said the entire Jewish system was coming down. It came down. The Jews, as a people, were no longer the chosen people, the chosen nation to represent Yehovah in the world. They blew it. After centuries of apostasy and backsliding and foolish choices, God let the Jews reap what they sowed. They crucified their Messiah, and God let them go. Individual Jews have an entrance into the kingdom of God, through conversion, just like all others in the human race. There is no chosen nation anymore and has not been for 2,000 years.
Having mentioned this before, many times, I state it again: all promises from God are conditional on their acceptance or rejection by whomever they are spoken or written to. That biblical fact is so well established it is an absolute marvel it is always so easily forgotten.
Well, the fourth commandment of the moral law, the Decalogue, states; "Remember the Sabbath day... the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God..." Exodus 20:8-11. Most of the world has forgotten that too, even many in the Jewish community who care more about business and their own pursuits than the commandments of God; which brings us back to the entire issue of Jews in power.
It is a fact, easily seen and established, that the number 6,000,000 was in Jewish literature well before the holocaust. I was surprised when that was pointed out to me. When people bring that out they are instantly branded as anti-Semites. Why? Jewish power and influence but, look. This is no different than Islam burying it's own dark history, or Catholicism doing the same, or any organization with darkness in its past trying to stay ahead of the curve when things are exposed. Damage control is essential for staying in power and control. Presidential Press Secretaries are professional, first-line, barnyard dog, damage control people. That's their job. Some obviously do it better than others.
Rules for Radicals, the Democrat handbook of political process, was written by a Jew, with a nod to Lucifer as the first rebel, at the very beginning of the book. Saul Alinsky lives on in admiration for some and infamy for others.
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. I've never read it but, know of it. Look it up, if you aren't familiar with it. As it gets around, more and more people are shocked to see its contents. "Experts" are constantly debunking it. It isn't working. Whether or not it is an actual document of plans for Jewish control of the world is rather immaterial when Jewish control of so many facets of life on Earth have been attained.
Let's be honest. Hitler saw the Jews as problematic. In his warped mind he saw removing the Jews from society as the answer to solving those problems. Hitler was a sick individual. As devilish as they come. Does it matter? Apparently not because America is supporting the Ukraine in this war, and it has an entire Nazi faction in its military, the Azov battalion, now known as the Azov Regiment. They are Neo-Nazis. Do you think American leaders are ignorant of that fact? Don't be foolish.
Here's a story of interest, something happening more and more -
https://www.oann.com/newsroom/fla-teens-arrested-over-anti-semitic-graffiti/
Why did these teens choose to vandalize a bunch of synagogues? More importantly, why and how is it these teens were rounded up and yet those who torched anti-abortion offices remain at large? Those who took down statues and destroyed stores and office buildings and torched entire neighborhoods in cities, are all walking around like they did nothing? Why is that? Because Jews have clout and if they are attacked, that clout gets things done in retribution. Hey, we gentiles might find that uncomfortable but, wish we had such influence to correct wrongs in society, like torching cities, like protesting, against the law, in front of Supreme Court Justice's homes, to intimidate them. Focus on the Family had its headquarters vandalized. It's unlikely the perps will be rounded up. People are getting riled up, just more angry at the imbalances in society. It's a seething cauldron and it's going to boil and spill over.
For me, and all Sabbath keeping Christians, we see some handwriting on the wall. The Sabbath is considered the Jewish rest day. That is ignorance of the truth. There were no Jews when God created the world and established the Sabbath as a memorial of creation week for all humanity. The Decalogue is not the Jewish Law. It is God's law for all the human race. The fourth commandment is not Jewish. It is God's day of rest, not man's. Yes, Jesus rose from the dead, before sunrise, the first day of the week. He rested in the tomb from His work of redemption on the Sabbath. Has God changed the day of rest? Has Jesus changed the fourth commandment? Where? When? God says, Remember. Man says, No. We'll change things for our convenience. That is exactly what took place in the early centuries of the previous millennium.
Why is Sunday considered the day of rest (even though more and more people are decidedly active in business and pleasure-seeking on that day)? I've addressed that many times, and the answer, again, is, the Roman Catholic Church changed the commandment in its own deceptions of its position and place on Earth. It claims responsibility and authority for changing the day. It's one of the major marks of exposing it as antichrist. "Thinks to change times and laws." Daniel 7:25.
Sabbath keeping Christians have faced persecution in the past, even as late as the 19th century in America, when it was proposing to shut down Sunday as the day of rest, by law. That movement that pushed for a national Sunday law, known as the Lord's Day Alliance, still exists today. It began as the American Sabbath Union.
https://ldausa.org/about/
"The object of the Lord’s Day Alliance of the U.S. is to encourage all people to recognize and observe a day of Sabbath rest and to worship the risen Lord Jesus Christ, on the Lord’s Day, Sunday; and for that purpose to gather and diffuse information, to publish documents, to use the press, to cause public addresses to be made and to use other means as shall be expedient and proper to the end that the blessings of the Lord’s Day and the benefits of Sabbath rest shall be secured for all people."
Secured? Yes, by law. A national Sunday law. Prophetically, the mark of the Beast; which shall become an international law through circumstances of Satan's preparation. Nonsense, you say? Watch. Were it not for the riveting testimony of the Seventh-day Adventist, A.T. Jones before Congress, Sunday would have become the national day of rest, by law, in 1889.
Sabbath keepers know there is not a single word in the New Testament establishing Sunday as a replacement for the Sabbath commandment. Twisting truth, just as Peter stated was done about Paul's writings 2,000 years ago, is what keeps Sunday in people's minds as the day of rest. What did Jesus say?
Mark 2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
Mark 2:28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
The Lord's day, by His own testimony, is the seventh-day Sabbath. Nothing has changed that but, man's ego and interference.
As more and more negative stuff happens in this world, and humanity looks for scapegoats to blame, Jews will be a target, and all those who keep the Sabbath, will be targeted with them. Guilt by association of the day, even though the day was not, is not, and never shall be a Jewish day. It is God's Sabbath, God's commandment, God's handwriting in stone, not man's.
He that has ears to hear...
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

There were no Jews when God created the world and established the Sabbath as a memorial of creation week for all humanity. The Decalogue is not the Jewish Law. It is God's law for all the human race. The fourth commandment is not Jewish. It is God's day of rest, not man's. Yes, Jesus rose from the dead, before sunrise, the first day of the week. He rested in the tomb from His work of redemption on the Sabbath. Has God changed the day of rest? Has Jesus changed the fourth commandment? Where? When? God says, Remember. Man says, No. We'll change things for our convenience. That is exactly what took place in the early centuries of the previous millennium.
Why is Sunday considered the day of rest (even though more and more people are decidedly active in business and pleasure-seeking on that day)? I've addressed that many times, and the answer, again, is, the Roman Catholic Church changed the commandment in its own deceptions of its position and place on Earth. It claims responsibility and authority for changing the day. It's one of the major marks of exposing it as antichrist. "Thinks to change times and laws." Daniel 7:25.
Sabbath keeping Christians have faced persecution in the past, even as late as the 19th century in America, when it was proposing to shut down Sunday as the day of rest, by law. That movement that pushed for a national Sunday law, known as the Lord's Day Alliance, still exists today. It began as the American Sabbath Union.
https://ldausa.org/about/
"The object of the Lord’s Day Alliance of the U.S. is to encourage all people to recognize and observe a day of Sabbath rest and to worship the risen Lord Jesus Christ, on the Lord’s Day, Sunday; and for that purpose to gather and diffuse information, to publish documents, to use the press, to cause public addresses to be made and to use other means as shall be expedient and proper to the end that the blessings of the Lord’s Day and the benefits of Sabbath rest shall be secured for all people."
Secured? Yes, by law. A national Sunday law. Prophetically, the mark of the Beast; which shall become an international law through circumstances of Satan's preparation. Nonsense, you say? Watch. Were it not for the riveting testimony of the Seventh-day Adventist, A.T. Jones before Congress, Sunday would have become the national day of rest, by law, in 1889.
Sabbath keepers know there is not a single word in the New Testament establishing Sunday as a replacement for the Sabbath commandment. Twisting truth, just as Peter stated was done about Paul's writings 2,000 years ago, is what keeps Sunday in people's minds as the day of rest. What did Jesus say?
Mark 2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
Mark 2:28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
The Lord's day, by His own testimony, is the seventh-day Sabbath. Nothing has changed that but, man's ego and interference.
As more and more negative stuff happens in this world, and humanity looks for scapegoats to blame, Jews will be a target, and all those who keep the Sabbath, will be targeted with them. Guilt by association of the day, even though the day was not, is not, and never shall be a Jewish day. It is God's Sabbath, God's commandment, God's handwriting in stone, not man's.
He that has ears to hear...
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Two Astute Paragraphs
Commenting on the current situation in China:
"The large-scale medical imprisonment of populations that started with the COVID-19 virus release in Wuhan and spread to other Chinese cities was exported to Europe and the United States in the first quarter of 2020. As if in coordination, the WHO, the World Economic Forum, the CDC, Bill Gates, and Anthony Fauci all jumped on the bandwagon with praise for the China lockdowns. In the United States, those lockdowns and the associated fear factor not only shut the economy down, but provided an ideal environment for leftist Democrat activist lawyers to succeed in forcing change in state election rules to their advantage, such as allowing wholesale distribution of mail-in ballots, the legitimization of ballot harvesting, the extension of deadlines for counting ballots, and legal challenges to voter ID and signature verification laws. All of which contributed to election irregularities and the subsequent loss of the legitimacy of the U.S. government on the world stage.
"In addition, to the effects of lockdowns, America has experienced unprecedented censorship, the corruption of science and the administration of health care, the decertification of dissenting doctors, the banning of non-vaccination alternative preventive therapeutic treatments for COVID, and later, the mandatory injections of an emergency use authorized COVID-19 vaccine formula with a safety profile that’s being increasingly questioned. "
https://www.discovery.org/a/xi-jinpings-abrupt-reversal-of-fortune-provides-a-wake-up-call-and-new-direction-for-america/
Pretty much encapsulates it as well as can be done, safely speaking. I'd go father, of course, as the weight of evidence bears out.
"As if" removed. "Election irregularities" either replaced or, criminal fraud and political crimes and racketeering added. "Being increasingly questioned" either removed and replaced with or, this added: because it has been proven to be a medical bioweapon.
Time will only increase those realizations.
His two closing paragraphs are equally astute:
"The Chinese people are exhibiting extraordinary courage in revolting against the CCP and calling for its demise. Meanwhile, the elites behind the Biden administration don’t know what to do. They know that if they support the Chinese people’s revolt, they will also be acknowledging the irrationality of the CCP’s policies. And by implication, they would be indicting their past COVID policies and potentially undermining the ability to use future pandemics to gain greater control and consummate the Great Reset.
"In summary, what is happening now halfway around the world in China has tremendous implications for reversing the political corruption and loss of freedoms that Americans have been experiencing. The Chinese regime as a shining model for the Great Reset of Klaus Schwab and his World Economic Forum is collapsing before our very eyes. The Great Reset—from its government controlled digital currency, universal health passports, and its wall-to-wall surveillance state—has no place in America or any country that values liberty, truth, and justice."

698. Circles - December 3, 2022
Mammals, birds, fish, insects, worms, reptiles... all moving in circles, tightly packed or in wider configurations, all over the world. Creepy, right? Ominous? Foreboding? Harbingers of something to come?
What causes mammals to walk or, swim, in the case of whales, in circles? Bacterial brain infection? That's what some "experts" are saying? Zoologists and veterinarians are being asked about the phenomena that seemed to begin with a sheep herder in China, whose sheep were walking in circles for days, then weeks.
Unfortunately, you cannot always trust what you see in videos, on YouTube or elsewhere. In the cases of YT you might be figuring people are showing instances of behavior seen in the last couple of months, when some of these videos are years old. Some are taken from movies or documentaries. We are not looking at things happening recently. It's apparently not as ominous as it seems. Just the same, aside from movies, regardless of time setting, what is going on with such behavior?
Of course, that would all change if actual, timely videos begin showing up with time stamps of right now.
We've all seen fish swim in tightly packed circles. It's an obvious defense mechanism to confuse predators. Once the predators figure it out they begin attacking the mass and scattering their prey as much as they can, picking out whatever they can in the process.
That doesn't explain sheep, goats, reindeer, caribou, horses, turtles and turkeys... and any other creatures I've missed. Ants? Strange. Worms? More strange. Weird.
If it all has a natural explanation, so be it.
Most people, even those not of the Jewish or Christian faith, know of the story of Noah. It's a worldwide story, known in many ancient cultures. Something that sceptics don't address at all or, with not very much assurance of understanding, how a deluge they claim was only local, could be known on several continents as a world destroying event, written of in ancient times.
In the event, Noah begins his construction project from instructions given to him by God, with the message of judgment coming. When the ship is finished, life begins to fly, crawl and walk towards and into the ark. It would have been a phenomena that hushed the gathered crowds of onlookers and naysayers. Most think the creatures came by two's. No. The "unclean" creatures, as God calls them, came in by two, male and female. The "clean" creatures came by seven. Why?
The unclean creatures, male and female, mostly predators and/or scavengers, as God defines these creatures in Leviticus and Deuteronomy, provided for another generation. Seven of the clean creatures, male and female, mostly herd and flock animals, provided for greater expansion and also the seventh animal to sacrifice as the reminder that God saves by the shedding of blood, the blood of the Messiah to some day come. "Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission [of sin]." Matt. 26:28; Hebrews 9:22.
The other reason is pretty obvious. The deluge wiped out all vegetation. God gave permission to Noah for using animals for food. Clean creatures only. Before that, God's original plan was for all animal and human life to eat a plant-based diet. That is stated in Genesis, right at the beginning of the creation of Earth, Gen. 1:29,30.
Placing those facts aside, all land and air creatures in existence at the time, according to their "kind," not the specie within the kind, in order, calm, direct, no predators or prey; just created creatures under the direction of their Creator was a sight to behold. Mind you, just two and seven of each kind. All other creatures just carried on as normal until the Earth burst forth and the rains came. Animals obeyed the Lord. Humans just sarcastically or nervously watched until it was too late. The skies blackened, the Earth shook and that was it.
There is no Ark on the Earth today, aside from the truth, aside from salvation in Christ and grace through faith unto obedience. What if animals are being used to gain the attention of the world, once again? What if God is using them to once again, warn the populace judgment is coming. Expect more of it.
We all know stories of animals reacting, minutes, hours, even days before a natural disaster. How can that be? Only speculation exists but, it is a fact. Before an earthquake animals have been seen running for higher ground. Birds have been seen flying away from an area to yet be affected. Are they following prompting from their Creator? No one knows.
I'll say this, because the Bible says it:
Luke 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Luke 21:26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
I've already mentioned three events that took place a long time ago, seen as ominous signs of the times when they occurred. The great Dark Day of 1780, with the moon appearing as blood red, and the meteor shower of 1833, which has never been equaled since. Those days stayed in the minds of people here in America and Canada for generations who witnessed them, and those who did not, told over and over again as signs fulfilled that Christ was returning soon. America was the new nation in the parade of prophetic characters laid out in the books of Daniel and Revelation. Events here would then be natural to follow the stream of prophetic events from Babylon to today. The 19th century saw a parade of events that showed everything was changing in society and prophecy was being fulfilled. Secular newspapers often carried stories of signs of the times people saw as the imminent return of Christ. Well, here we are over a century later. What happened? Simply a lack of cooperation from God's professed people to get ready and get busy and finish the work of proclaiming the truth to the world. The world and its culture overtook the churches and a condition of lukewarmness enveloped the body of Christ. A detour exists.
Perplexity also exists because no one has a clue how to fix the world. Only wicked minds seeking to control the world are working around the clock to overtake the world's populace through plans of medical mechanism and technology. And I would certainly not rule out a repetition of celestial events to shake up the entire global population. Too much time has passed.
Let's not forget, though, that we are living in a time of distress among nations never seen in history. Two world wars, constant wars, with current predictions of a world war 3 involving nuclear warfare. It cannot get any worse than that.
If waters represent people in prophecy, are the sea and waves roaring? From 1989 till now, people events have changed the world and look to continually do so. Millions in the streets of Eastern Europe in 1989, then the USSR, now Brazil, Iran, China, France, Australia and elsewhere, and we can expect that to grow. If Jesus meant the physical seas and waters, expect tsunamis, floods, drought of unprecedented proportions. Records have already been broken. More shall come.
Men's hearts failing them from stress. 75% of people feel stress is effecting their lives in negative ways. And now, a bioweapon has been unleashed, and people are suffering heart problems and death as a result. Never in human history has such an event taken place. Blood clots killing people of all ages, causing heart attacks and strokes. Young and old "died suddenly." Expect it to increase in horrifying numbers.
And Jesus said, those things which are coming on the Earth. Kind of cryptic. The physical Earth? The population of the planet, both human and animal? What, exactly, did He mean? Is an animal phenomena of moving in circles part of that? Do not dismiss it. Something is astir. Expect an increase in cataclysmic events.
Do you know why I believe, when I used to call it all nonsense and fairytales? Because God changed my life 43 years ago. An unexplainable experience that so drastically hit me my life took 180 degree turns. I was born again. New life in Christ. A real, alive, present Jesus Christ, not a character from an old book. My Creator began a recreation, renovation project. There is no other explanation for what happened to me. So, yeah, I believe in the story of the Flood, and the Gospels, and the prophecies pointing to Messiah's return again. I'd be a fool not to.
Are the animals showing us a message? I don't know. I would most definitely not rule it out.
Watch.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

699. Arizona Corruption - December 4, 2022
I'm going to close out page 7 with thoughts on Arizona.
I've been to AZ a few times now. The Grand Canyon, twice. Breathtaking. I can't say it's a place I'd like to live. Not green enough for me but, the aesthetics of the state certainly has its own beauty. What forests there are, pine forests, are National Forests. The Federal government owns and runs over 42% of the state. Almost half that large state is run by the Federal government bureaucrats back in D.C. The very policy is the antithesis of state's rights. It's why I reject the notion of "national" parks, lands, forests and all the rest. It's a scam and land grab and powerplay for control freaks. States and only states should decide what their land becomes, not federal bureaucrats.
Aside from the state's austere beauty, AZ is one of the broken-borders states. Illegal immigrants literally pour across the southern border, daily.
I told you Kari Lake was going to lose the election. I mean, everyone in the world now knows Lake won the election, probably in a Grand Canyon-sized landslide but, she lost because of government corruption and criminal activity through real conspiracy collusion and racketeering committed by players in both political parties.
Lake says she will refuse to concede until things are straightened out through law suits they'll be filing, probably this week. The courts are corrupt so, they'll be little to no help there. Maybe she'll get some judges in the judicial rotation who actually care about the rule of law. I doubt it.
The corruption that has taken place is truly historic. I mean, the Chicago mafia has nothing on Arizona state political figures involved in the state's elections system. It's eye squinting, eyebrow raising, jaw dropping, astonishing corruption.
Arizona is now a "banana republic." It's jungle politics, Baby, and the machetes are swinging hard. It shows the entire world America has zero credibility for anything anymore, not that much of the world thinks America had much left to begin with.
The world used to come to America to make a new life. Now it comes to get free stuff and hang out at American's expense.
It was obvious to me Kari Lake was not going to be allowed the governor's seat. She will be denied, along with all those citizens who voted for her, or would have, if they decided to try and vote in the midst of the immediate reports of election problems that existed in 48% of voting machines used in certain counties, Republican heavy counties, and the state's largest population county, Maricopa. More than half the state's population lives there. Control the election process there, control the state.
Watching video of the people who showed up and packed the county seat to testify before the county's election supervisors was so egregious I couldn't watch very long. The arrogant, bricked-faced supervisors should have been tarred and feathered and run out of town. Listening to the citizens pour out their honest testimonies of disappointments and even wrath, made for sh_t show of embarrassment for the State before the world. America, home of the brave, for sure. The citizens would not be denied but, land of the free? Not as far as elections go.
Lake, herself, has taken her stand and is showing herself to be the strongest patriot ever for a candidate for a position in government. I would vote for her run for POTUS in a heartbeat. Whatever flaws she may have, politically, have not been seen yet. She remains principled, resolute, poised, articulate and fearless.
While I obviously wish her well, I cannot expect her to end up in the governor's mansion. Unless hundreds of thousands, if not millions hit the streets and put the fear of God into these pawns and bowling pins of politicians who run the state, Lake will die on the hill she's climbing and fighting on. It's a hill she states she is willing to die on because she sees if this election stands, AZ is gone as an American principled state, and the rest of the country is already there or will follow in domino fashion right through 2024. America is descending into totalitarianism rapidly. Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts, absolutely, and the Maricopa County supervisors showed that process in epic proportions before the world last week.
Arizona will become a California wasteland in due time, as will most all American states. Crime ridden, broke, despotic shadows of their former selves, riddled with a self-destruction mode that is just impossible to understand, unless we realize completely nefarious characters, out to destroy the Republic, are at work.
God help us... I'm pretty certain He is not going to, though. It's time to reap what has been sown. Elections have consequences, citizenship has responsibilities, and Americans have failed under the consistent decades of influence of America haters and dissemblers.
I was not taught the responsibilities of true, principled citizenship when young. Few in my generation were. The results are now in place.
Tytler's cycle is reaching the final phase. America had a good run. Like all previous nations, the inevitable is coming.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

It's a hill she states she is willing to die on because she sees if this election stands, AZ is gone as an American principled state, and the rest of the country is already there or will follow in domino fashion right through 2024. America is descending into totalitarianism rapidly. Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts, absolutely, and the Maricopa County supervisors showed that process in epic proportions before the world last week.
Arizona will become a California wasteland in due time, as will most all American states. Crime ridden, broke, despotic shadows of their former selves, riddled with a self-destruction mode that is just impossible to understand, unless we realize completely nefarious characters, out to destroy the Republic, are at work.
God help us... I'm pretty certain He is not going to, though. It's time to reap what has been sown. Elections have consequences, citizenship has responsibilities, and Americans have failed under the consistent decades of influence of America haters and dissemblers.
I was not taught the responsibilities of true, principled citizenship when young. Few in my generation were. The results are now in place.
Tytler's cycle is reaching the final phase. America had a good run. Like all previous nations, the inevitable is coming.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
