Last Days Lamentations
First, a Praise Report
In Florida, Tyler Smith and Heather Brown, both 17 years old, skipped school on senior day to have a swim but became stranded 2 miles off the coastline for two hours. They prayed to God, asking if He was real and had a plan for them still to please save them. Then a boat sailing from South Florida to New Jersey spotted the teens in distress. The name of the boat is “The Amen.”
Extreme Weather
Deadly flooding from Michigan to the South has damaged homes and sent the Mississippi River to a 157-year-high in Davenport, Iowa. At least seven people have died in storms since Monday.
30 million people are under flash flood watches from Texas to Illinois after severe storms that left a few people dead. 25 tornadoes were reported in 5 states.
Over 15 million people from South Dakota to Michigan were under winter storm warnings or advisories the last weekend of April. More than 2 inches of snow fell in Chicago for the first time in over a century.
In Washington State, a bouncy house at a Zillah High School event was lifted 10 to 20 feet in the air and carried over 240 feet by a gust of wind, injuring five students, one critically. There have been previous issues with bounce houses causing injuries, especially if they are not tethered properly during windy conditions. In late March, a freak accident in China killed two children when a dust devil swept an inflatable bounce house into the air. The Child Injury Prevention Alliance says that “in the past 20 years, the number of inflatable bouncer-related injuries treated in hospital emergency departments in the U.S. has skyrocketed, and now equals more than 30 children a day, or about one child every 45 minutes.”
Eastern Canada has been dealing with extreme flooding since last weekend. Montreal is still under a state of emergency.
In India, one million people were evacuated ahead Cyclone Fani, the largest in the nation’s history. It hit Odisha on Friday, leaving 16 people dead. Saturday afternoon it was heading towards Bangladesh. Officials were concerned about the city’s 858-year-old Jagannath Hindu temple during Fani’s onslaught. We brethren pray for those who worship false gods to turn to the only One who can save their eternal souls. Romans 1 says people are without excuse. This warning goes for all who teach the doctrines of man rather than from God’s Word, the Bible.
Tornadoes are rare in Romania, but a huge mesocyclonic tornado hit on April 30, 2019, damaging homes, agricultural fields and vehicles. Several people were injured when the bus they were in was thrown 30 feet into a field.
Pestilence/Plague/Disease/Famine
The CDC said in September the kissing bug (bites the face) was making its way north from South and Central America. Now it has been confirmed in 29 U.S. states. Some of these bugs carry Chagas disease which may not cause severe effects in some people, while others can have serious consequences.
In California, there has been a massive outbreak of sexually transmitted herpes, believed to be associated with the Coachella Music Festival.
In the US, the number of measles cases registered four months into 2019 has surpassed the count of cases from last decade, according to new numbers from the CDC. All new cases since the eradication declaration have come from “foreign travelers.” And the situation is escalating with AP now reporting that over 1,000 students and staff members at two Los Angeles universities were quarantined on campus or sent home in one of the most sweeping efforts yet by public health authorities to contain the spread of measles in the U.S., where cases have reached a 25-year high.
Cocaine was found in all UK freshwater shrimp/prawns that were tested in the rivers. Other illicit drugs such as ketamine, pesticides and pharmaceuticals were also widespread in the shrimp that were collected by the team of British scientists.
In Mongolia, passengers were removed from a plane and put under medical supervision over fears they had contact with a couple who died from the bubonic plague (aka Black Death). The couple died from the disease after eating a marmot (a large squirrel).
In the Congo’s North Kivu province, 26 people died of Ebola in a single day, the highest daily toll since its outbreak nearly nine months ago. The death toll has now passed 1,000.
Swarms of locusts have again darkened the skies of Saudi Arabia. The infestation started last Sunday, when masses of the insects were reported to have come from Sudan and Eritrea following unusually heavy rainfall in the region. The insects pose a major concern for farmers.
The death toll from the ongoing war in Yemen will reach 233,000 if it continues until the end of 2019, according to a UN report. 131,000 of those deaths will be due to malnutrition, cholera, and other diseases.
A plague of biblical proportions: The pig ‘Ebola’ Virus is sending shock waves through the global food chain. African Swine Fever is the greatest threat to global food production that we’ve seen since World War II ended. Last August, a farm with fewer than 400 hogs on the outskirts of Shenyang was found to harbor African swine fever, the first ever occurrence of the contagious viral disease in the country with half the world’s pigs. Despite culling and a declaration that the outbreak had been effectively controlled, it was too late.
By then, the disease had literally gone viral, dispersed across hundreds of miles in sickened animals, contaminated food, and in dirt and dust on truck tires and clothing. Nine months later, the contagion has spread nationwide, crossed borders to Mongolia, Vietnam and Cambodia, and bolstered meat markets globally. According to Farm Journals’ PorkBusiness.com, “African Swine Fever has spread to every province in mainland China and is now affecting an estimated 150-200 million pigs.”
Interestingly, this is the Chinese Zodiac calendar’s “Year of the Earth Pig,” their version of pagan astrology. African swine fever kills every pig it infects with Ebola-like illness. While official estimates count 1 million culled hogs, slaughter data suggests that this year 100 times more will be removed from China’s 440 million-strong swine herd. This outbreak will affect global food prices and also could cause a shortage of heparin. The widely used blood thinner, is made from pig intestines; nearly 80% come from China.
Hatred of Anything That Names the Name of Christ
The study by Aid to the Church in Need says what we’re seeing is that the treatment of Christians has worsened substantially in the past two years and has grown more violent than any other period in modern times.
Residents of a predominately Christian village in the West Bank have appealed to the “Palestinian” Authority to provide protection for them after they were attacked by a group of “Palestinian” gunmen.
Islamist jihadists aim to erase anything and anyone naming the name of Christ. Religious liberty, the core value of western civilization, is being destroyed across large parts of the world. Yet the West, is myopically denying this religious war. The shooting at a mosque in New Zealand caused the Duke of Cambridge, Prince William, to visit the Muslim survivors. But the Sri Lanka church massacre…crickets. The appeal of Asia Bibi’s daughters to help her mother met a deaf West. The UK refused to offer asylum to this persecuted Pakistani Christian family.
Hatred of the Jewish People and Israel
In California, 60-year-old Lori Gilbert Kaye was killed and three others were wounded by a 19-year-old shooter, John T. Earnest, who opened fire in the Chabad Poway Synagogue during the Sabbath. One of the wounded was an 8-year-old child. He had published an antisemitic and anti-Trump manifesto online, according to several reports. A combat veteran, Oscar Stewart, stopped the coward from any further shooting by barreling toward him, screaming loudly, GET DOWN YOU #%!; I’M GOING TO KILL YOU.
The liberal-left media is enjoying proclaiming that the young man is a Christian. However, he’s not an example of a Christian. God says “You will know them by their fruits.” But, of course, the liberal-leftist media doesn’t appear to know anything about the Bible. Also, the young man comes from a Calvinist Presbyterian church. He believes in “replacement theology” – that the church has replaced Israel in God’s plan. That’s obviously not what the Bible says. He also believes he’s one of the Calvinist “elect” – believing man cannot chose to come to God, but that God chose certain people that would be saved and chose the rest to go to hell. Also not what the Bible says.
The New York City saw a massive 82% increase in antisemitic hate crimes in the city in the first three months of 2019.
Israeli Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer said on Monday that The New York Times has become a “cesspool of hostility” amid the publication’s international edition featuring antisemitic cartoons on April 25 and over the same weekend that a Chabad-Lubavitch synagogue in Southern California was attacked by a gunman who killed one woman and injured three others, including a child. “The same New York Times that a century ago mostly hid from their readers the Holocaust of the Jewish people has today made its pages a safe space for those who hate the Jewish state.”
The rapper, Snoop Dogg, who supposedly has 31 million followers on Instagram, is calling for his fans to support the Nation of Islam leader, Louis Farrakhan, the rabid anti-Semite and white people hater who has been banned from Facebook and Instagram over his dangerous speech. Snoop says, “Show some love to a real brother.”
Islamization of the Nations
There is chilling video of Muslim children in Philadelphia singing songs and reading poetry about killing people in the name of Allah. The Muslim American Society Islamic Center posted video of the performance on its Facebook page to celebrate “Ummah Day,” Fox News first reported. “We will defend the land of divine guidance with our bodies, and we will sacrifice our souls without hesitation,” one of the children says. “We will chop off their heads, and we will liberate the sorrowful and exalted Al-Aqsa Mosque. We will lead the army of Allah fulfilling His promise, and we will subject them to eternal torture.”
A lot of women Bible-believing Christian women and Orthodox Jewish women dress in more modest swimsuits, but Sports Illustrated chose to promote the leftist agenda by featuring a Muslim model decked out from the top of the head to her toes in its swimsuit edition. Still, Sharia Law would demand a much baggier coverup.
Terrorism
The terror plot of an army vet turned jihadist has been foiled. “After considering various attacks – including targeting Jews, churches, and police officers, Mark Stevens Domingo decided to detonate an IED at a rally scheduled to take place in Long Beach, California. The FBI was tipped off to his actions when they discovered his online postings where he shared his loyalty to ISIS, his willingness to commit jihad, and called for revenge for the mosque attack in New Zealand.
Apostasy and Doctrines of Demons
Folks, the falling away is falling faster; should the Lord decide to tarry, pray there’ll be a faithful pastor.
“For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears” (Acts 20:27-31).
“But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him” (2 Corinthians 11:3-4).
“Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? This persuasion cometh not of Him that calleth you. A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump” (Galatians 5:7-9).
After the United Methodist Church decided to uphold a ban on same-sex marriage and ordaining LGBTQ clergy, Calvary United Methodist Church in Durham, North Carolina, held an event called “Drag Me to Church” in which families watched drag queens perform. The church intends to hold more such events.
Teenagers in Nebraska who are members of the United Methodist Church are protesting the church for affirming its opposition to same-sex marriage and homosexuals serving in the clergy. The deceived teens claim that UMC’s policies towards LGBTQ members are “immoral.”
The movie “The Gospel of Mary (Magdalene) playing in theaters is complete fiction. There is no such thing as the gospel of Mary. It is a forgery – “a work of fan-fiction by members of a false religion (Gnostics) who attempted to co-opt Jesus for their own purposes. The “publishing industry, the media, and Hollywood—like the Gnostics of old—never tire of producing false Christianities and false Jesuses.”
A Catholic journalist is among the signatories of an open letter that states the words and actions of Pope Francis have brought about “one of the worst crises” in the history of the Roman Catholic Church. Nineteen prominent and respected Catholic clergy and scholars have published an open letter accusing Pope Francis of heresy. He’s guilty for sure of going against the Bible, and Catholic doctrine too; but as we know, the RCC promotes many unscriptural doctrines.
Occult
In 2019, at 60 years old, Madonna is still at it. While her fans like to gush about how Madonna keeps “reinventing herself,” her act is actually quite consistent: It is actually 100% based on the occult elite’s current agenda, combined with an attempt to remain relevant by associating with young and popular artists.
Lawlessness
A former student at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte, Trystan Terrell, 22, has been charged with two counts of murder and four counts of attempted murder after police and witnesses say he began firing a handgun in a classroom full of nearly 50 students on UNC Charlotte’s campus shortly before 6 p.m. on Tuesday.
In Baltimore, Maryland, a man died and several others were wounded after a gunman fired indiscriminately into a crowd that had gathered last Sunday for afternoon cookouts. There hasn’t been an arrest yet as of this writing. All law enforcement knows is that it is a black male. Online rumors said he was white, but police said that is not true. Evidence suggests someone shot back. Acting Mayor Bernard C. “Jack” Young again called on the city’s residents to step up with any information. “People know who’s doing these shootings and who is targeting these people,” Young said.
There was another shooting on Friday in Baltimore. Two children, 1 and 2 years old, a woman and two men were shot in the Carrollton Ridge neighborhood on Friday night. The victims are in stable condition at area hospitals.
In Mexico, the raging drug cartel violence that reignited this week with gun battles, executions, and arson has killed close to three dozen people. Officials continue to reassure the public by claiming the dead are mostly criminals. The violence is tied to the ongoing war for control. Most of the murders are the result of kidnappings among rivals; however, innocent victims continue to be caught in the crossfire.
Marxism-Socialism-Communism: Evil siblings who have deceived many, and are among us/US in Congress too.
The socialist hellish-pit that is Venezuela is on the brink of collapse, with a coup in progress. The evil dictator Maduro was talked into getting on a plane to leave by the US only to have Russia intervene and tell him not to leave. In one video, a government worker in a tank vehicle is seen purposefully running over a group of protestors. Gun battles are occurring as of this writing. If anyone thinks this doesn’t affect the US and the entire western hemisphere, they’d better think again. Russia has planted itself in the western hemisphere just like it tried and failed to do in the 60’s during the Cuban missile crisis.
Nation (Ethnic) Against Nation (Ethnic)
A California bill has created a permission slip for ‘willful defiance’ of teachers and staff. The state wants to ban schools from suspending students for disruptive behavior because teachers suspend more black students than white, so racism is being blamed. We shouldn’t be surprised; the Obama administration demanded racial parity in school discipline regardless of who was being disruptive, which is as silly as demanding racial parity in police arrests, regardless of who’s committing crimes. The result is that more schools have been disciplining fewer students in order to achieve racial balance in suspension rates and stay out of trouble with the federal government.
South Africans demonstrated outside the U.S. embassy in Pretoria Monday, April 29th to raise awareness of the epidemic of farm attacks and murders. There were 13 farm attacks and 3 gruesome murders over the Easter weekend alone.
In Ethiopia, dozens of civilians were killed in ethnic clashes.
Wars and Rumors of Wars
“Palestinian” Islamic Jihad launched a long-range rocket from Gaza at Israel on Monday. The Iran-backed militant group intended to hit land, but the rocket landed in the Mediterranean Sea.
Fire balloons from Gaza ignited fields in Israel this week, and the Israeli air force launched a series of targeted strikes in retaliation. Fire balloons have done millions of dollars in damage to myriad acres of fields in southern Israel since the Gaza Strip riots began a year ago, and show no signs of stopping.
Gaza militants (Saturday, May 4) have fired 220 rockets into Israel, injuring at least two Israelis. Sirens were still going off as of this writing. Israel is responding with airstrikes on targets across the Gaza Strip.
The evil big three (Turkey, Russia, and Iran) issued a joint statement following a 2-day international meeting, condemning the U.S. decision to recognize Israeli sovereignty over Syria’s occupied Golan Heights, saying it “threatens peace and security in the Middle East.” In reality, we know they are the ones who threaten the security of Israel, whom they will invade and whose armies will be wiped out by the hand of God himself.
North Korea is believed to have tested several short-range missiles. If confirmed, it will be the first missile launch since Lil’ Kim tested an intercontinental ballistic missile in November 2017.
Surveillance Society
An Amazon.com Inc. team auditing Alexa users’ commands has access to location data and can, in some cases, easily find a customer’s home address, according to five employees familiar with the program.
“Peace” Deal
White House senior adviser Jared Kushner said on Thursday he hopes Israel will take a hard look at President Trump’s upcoming Middle East peace proposal before proceeding with any plan to annex West Bank settlements. Kushner says the “peace” proposal will be a “good starting point.”
Allegedly (from an Arab source), Saudi Arabia’s crown prince offered M. Abbas 1 billion dollars a year for 10 years for his PA aka PLO organization if he would accept the US’ upcoming “peace” deal. Supposedly, the Saudi prince also told Abbas that the Trump administration was prepared to give the Palestinians the land which they already live on. Abbas refused, saying it would end his political career.
NASA Pressing for Asteroid Apocalypse
NASA is going to be using a simulation of an “asteroid apocalypse” in order to help the space agency prepare for a cataclysmic asteroid event. And they are taking it seriously, as disaster planners from FEMA will join NASA for a dress rehearsal of doomsday. Good luck with that. It will do them no good when the meteors or asteroids hit Earth in the tribulation.

Angels shout with acclamation:
“Christ has come to judge the nations!”
If you’re reading this and don’t have Christ as your Savior, won’t you open your heart and accept His free pardon while there is still time? He died for the sins of the world, but we are given the free will to choose whether or not to receive Him as Savior. He will not force anyone.
“My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world” (1 John 2:1-2).
“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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10).
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9).
