Leaderless :: By Daymond Duck

Published on: by RR10 Category:Daymond Duck, General Articles

My article on Nov. 26, 2022, was titled “Give us a Leader.”

Among other things, I wrote:

  • Since the mid-term elections, TV and social media pundits are saying, “Biden, Pelosi, Trump, and McConnell are too old. We need fresh blood, someone with new ideas to solve our problems. It is time for someone else to lead, someone that can appeal to young voters, a uniter, not a divider.”
  • The interesting thing about this is that Bible prophecy teachers have long said there will be an outcry for “a man with a plan” at the end of the age.
  • We can be sure he (the Antichrist) is coming, and it is even likely that he is alive and ready to answer the call.

Following Pres. Biden’s recent disastrous debate with former Pres. Trump, most of the Democrats, many in the major media and social media, and many foreign leaders appear to be freaking out over America’s leadership and the upcoming presidential election.

Most have finally stopped lying and started admitting that the man that is now in the Oval Office is unqualified to hold it for 4 more years.

Some ask:

  • Who should we get to replace Biden in the presidential campaign?
  • Should it be Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Gavin Newsome, Gretchen Whitmer, who, who, who?
  • Who can stop Trump, stop Russia, establish peace in the Middle East?

Some say:

  • The consequences are far too high; Joe must go.
  • The Democratic Party has panicked.
  • Concerns over his mental health have exploded.
  • Many Democrats and media sources are in disarray because it is clear that they have been lying to the public.

I do not know what they will do or who they will get.

I just know:

  • That there is an outcry for a leader unlike anything I have ever heard before.
  • That it is 2024, and the globalists want a New World Order (world government) by 2030 or sooner, if possible.
  • That God raises up leaders, and God brings down leaders.
  • That God gives some nations weak leaders and other nations strong leaders.
  • That God will decide who becomes president of the U.S.

And I don’t know, but it is my opinion that the person God chooses could be in office when the “man with a plan” arrives.

We know that he is coming, and it looks like the stage is being set for his arrival.

Here are other recent events that seem to indicate that the end of the age is near:

One, concerning wars and rumors of wars, the Battle of Gog and Magog, and a possible Psa. 83 war: on July 3, 2024, i24News reported that Israeli intelligence officials have new intelligence that shows that Iran is actively extending its influence through proxies in Jordan, Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Sudan, and now, the Horn of Africa (home to Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Somalia as well).

(More: On July 7, 2024, it was reported that Avigdor Liberman, a member of the Israeli Knesset, said, “Without a decisive blow against Iran, we will not overcome Hezbollah or Hamas. We are fighting many fronts, but there is only one thing we need to do, to go to the source, which is Iran. Without Iran, there is no Hezbollah, no Islamic Jihad, and no Hamas.”)

(More: On July 9, 2024, it was reported that satellite pictures show that Iran is expanding 2 of its missile production facilities.)

Two, concerning world government: on July 6, 2024, Prophecy News Watch posted an excellent article (posted on Activist Post on June 29, 2024) by Tracy Thurman about the globalist One Health agenda.

This is extremely important because the One Health agenda is being pushed by the World Health Organization, the World Bank, Bill Gates, the Rockefeller Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the Center for Disease Control, the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and others.

The One Health crowd wants world leaders to approve a global institution to control the health of the planet, including the health of all people, the plants, the animals, and the ecosystems (swamps, prairies, oceans, forests, etc.).

According to Thurman, among other things, to ensure sustainability of everything, they want to:

  • Require prescriptions for groceries (to make sure you are eating what they say is good for you, good for the planet, good for the plant and animal world, etc.).
  • Control (limit) your healthcare (if they think it is damaging the environment, you have not been vaccinated, etc.).
  • Decide whether you need to live or not.

Here is a link to the article:

Three, concerning the salvation of all Israel at the Second Coming of Jesus (Rom. 11:26): on July 4, 2024, it was reported that a Jerusalem Post poll taken in Feb. 2024 found that 33% of Israelis report a strengthened faith in God since October 7th.

Faith in God is not the same thing as accepting Jesus as their Saviour, but many are becoming more spiritual, and ultimately all that survive the Tribulation Period will accept Jesus.

Four, concerning a falling away in the Church and the coming one-world satanic religion: I recently reported that Roman Catholic Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano was summoned to appear at the Vatican on June 20 to face the beginning of a trial on charges that he has committed schism (promoted discord; caused dissent or conflict) and denied the legitimacy of Pope Francis.

Here is part of Vigano’s response (with my words in parentheses):

  • Bergoglio (Pope Francis) promotes uncontrolled immigration and calls for the integration of cultures and religions (a one-world religion).
  • Bergoglio authorizes the blessing of same-sex couples and imposes on the faithful the acceptance of homosexualism while covering up the scandals of his protégés and promoting them to the highest positions of responsibility. (He promotes and covers up immorality in the Church.)
  • Bergoglio… supports the Agenda 2030 (the coming satanic world government) and attacks those who question the theory of manmade global warming (attacks those that disagree with the unproven views of climate-change radicals).
  • He has mandated the use of experimental gene serums (Covid-19 vaccinations), which caused very serious damage, death and sterility, calling them “an act of love” in exchange for funding from pharmaceutical companies and philanthropic foundations.
  • Bergoglio is to the Church what other world leaders are to their nations: traitors, subversives, and final liquidators of traditional society who are certain of impunity (he supports the satanic New World Order).
  • I am honored not to have – and indeed I do not want – any ecclesial communion with them: theirs is a lobby, which conceals its complicity with the masters of the world in order to deceive many souls and prevent any resistance against the establishment of the Kingdom of the Antichrist.

Vigano’s trial is now over, and here is an update:

  • Vigano decided not to attend his trial or defend himself.
  • On July 4, 2024, Vigano was found guilty of schism.
  • On July 5, 2024, Vigano was notified that he would be excommunicated (meaning he cannot take communion, but if he will repent, Pope Francis can cancel his excommunication).

(My opinion: Since Bergoglio became Pope Francis, some have suggested that he might be the coming globalist False Prophet. I have often expressed doubts because of his age. Vigano has often and clearly spoken out against Pope Francis and some of the Roman Catholic leaders who, in my opinion, are guilty – but I believe Vigano was calling for repentance, not schism. Nevertheless, his statements about Pope Francis and some Roman Catholic leaders, his trial, and his sentence reflect the prophesied falling away in the church at the end of the age. The Bible says it would happen, and it is happening.)

Five, concerning a falling away and a new global religion: on June 27, 2024, LifeSiteNews reported that a new Roman Catholic Document called “The Bishop of Rome” reveals that Pope Francis plans to replace the current papacy with a new kind of papacy that will lead to a global ecumenical church without doctrine or discipline.

29 years ago, at the request of Pope John Paul III, many non-Catholic denominations submitted their objections to Roman Catholic doctrine and their suggestions for changing the Roman Catholic Church.

As I understand the article, Pope Francis is preparing to follow through on the non-Catholic objections and suggestions to hopefully create a new united world religion.

There is a lot that I do not understand, so here is a link to the article:

https://www.lifesitenews.com/analysis/new-vatican-document-reveals-francis-plan-for-a-grotesque-parody-of-the-papacy/?ct=t(EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_9_24_2018_20_33_COPY_01)&mc_cid=463f43ce10&mc_eid=db0e058bb1

(My thoughts: I am wondering if this has anything to do with the excommunication of Archbishop Vigano, and, considering that we are getting close to the Tribulation Period, if we are seeing a major step toward MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH; Rev. 17.)

Six, concerning a ceasefire in the Middle East: on July 7, 2024, Netanyahu’s office issued 4 things that Israel will require:

  • Any deal will allow Israel to return to fight until all the war’s goals are met.
  • Weapons will not be allowed to be smuggled to Hamas from the Gaza-Egypt border.
  • Thousands of armed terrorists will not be allowed to return to the northern Gaza Strip.
  • Israel will maximize the number of living hostages that are freed from Hamas captivity.

Seven, concerning inflation and the decline of America: on July 9, 2024, the Biden administration announced that it has blocked all drilling, mining, and gas and oil development on 28 million acres of land (about the size of Pennsylvania) in Alaska, and it has cancelled the construction of a 211-mile Trump-approved gravel road that would connect mines to a major highway.

An Alaska official said this makes 65 times the Biden administration has damaged Alaska’s economy.

Here is my daily update on the Israel-Hamas war:

Wednesday, July 3, 2024 (Day 272): The two-hundred sixteenth day of the resumed war. Day 58 of the attack on Rafah.

  • Following the assassination of a senior Hezbollah commander, Hezbollah fired 100 rockets from Lebanon at Israeli targets.
  • Israeli jets struck more than 50 targets in Gaza.

Thursday, July 4, 2024 (Day 273): The two-hundred seventeenth day of the resumed war. Day 59 of the attack on Rafah.

  • Hezbollah fired 100 rockets from Lebanon at Israeli targets for the second day in a row.
  • In addition to 200 rockets in 2 days, Hezbollah attacked Israel with 20 drones.
  • Netanyahu will speak with Biden today about a hostage deal and ceasefire with Hamas.
  • 63 members of Israel’s Knesset (a majority) requested a law to oppose a Palestinian state on the West Bank.
  • Israel is reporting that there has been a breakthrough, and a hostage deal could be getting close (there are still unresolved issues, but the negotiations are continuing and making progress).

Friday, July 5, 2024 (Day 274): The two-hundred eighteenth day of the resumed war. Day 60 of the attack on Rafah.

  • Hezbollah’s number-two official said the protests in Israel for a hostage deal and against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are likely to lead to a deal that ends the war in Gaza and leaves Hamas intact.

Saturday, July 6, 2024 (Day 275): The two-hundred nineteenth day of the resumed war. Day 61 of the attack on Rafah.

  • 16 people were killed, and more than 50 were wounded at a municipal building and UNRWA school that Hamas was using to attack Israeli soldiers.
  • Israel assassinated another senior Hezbollah leader in Lebanon.

Sunday, July 7, 2024 (Day 276): The two-hundred-twentieth day of the resumed war. Day 62 of the attack on Rafah.

  • Hezbollah in Lebanon attacked an Israeli espionage, surveillance, and intelligence facility on Mt. Hermon that overlooks Damascus, Syria (there was no report on damage or casualties).

Monday, July 8, 2024 (Day 277) The two-hundred twenty-first day of the resumed war. Day 63 of the attack on Rafah.

  • Israeli troops attacked terrorists at the UNRWA compound in Gaza City again.
  • Israel has killed more than 30 terrorists around Rafah in the last 24 hours.

Tuesday, July 9, 2024 (Day 278): The two-hundred twenty-second day of the resumed war. Day 64 of the attack on Rafah.

  • In recent days, Israel has discovered and destroyed 6 tunnels in Gaza City, discovered and destroyed several booby-trapped buildings, and killed more than 150 terrorists. One tunnel was a command-and-control center; several valuable intelligence documents were captured along with dozens of weapons (sniper equipment, RPGs, grenades, AK-47 rifles).
  • Israel detected, and fighter jets stopped a suspicious object approaching Israel from the east.
  • Israel struck an air-defense system that was operated by an Iranian-backed terrorist group in Syria.

Wednesday, July 10, 2024 (Day 279) The two-hundred twenty-third day of the resumed war. Day 65 of the attack on Rafah.

  • Legislation to declare the UNRWA a terrorist organization cleared a committee in the Israeli Knesset and will now be voted on by all the Knesset members.
  • Israel discovered evidence that Hamas was re-establishing its forces in Gaza City, and Israel ordered everyone to leave before Israel attacked.
  • The U.S. will dismantle and abandon the $230 million pier it assembled in Gaza for the delivery of humanitarian aid.
  • Israeli intelligence said Iran funded some of the pro-Palestinian protestors in the U.S.

FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).

Finally, are you Rapture Ready?

If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.

Put Your Faith in Jesus, Not A Man :: By Nathele Graham

Published on: by RR10 Category:General Articles, Nathele Graham

“Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with timbrel and harp. For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation. Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand” (Psalm 149:3-6).

People like to cheer. Whether it’s watching a small boy step up to the t-ball stand and actually hit the ball or cheering for a professional baseball player when he hits a winning home run. We get excited and jump with joy and shout. Political rallies also bring out much enthusiasm, as our favorite candidate promises lower taxes, less government, more freedoms, and much more. The problem is that home run hitters don’t always hit the ball over the fence, and political promises are easily forgotten.

I wonder why we get so thrilled over these temporary things but have no joy in what really matters. What matters for eternity is putting our faith in Jesus Christ. Why put your faith in a mere human to bring joy and happiness when Jesus forgives the sins of a truly repentant person and gives eternal life?

Jesus is the only One who deserves our praise, but very few church services have any enthusiasm. Preachers preach watered-down sermons to the point that these sermons have become lullabies, and many people use that time to take a nap. I attended a church once where the preacher spent a good chunk of the sermon boasting of his many theological degrees and quoting rock and roll singers and secular psychologists. There was no joy in the Lord.

The first of the Ten Commandments says, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me” (Exodus 20:3).

In today’s world, we seem to have forgotten that truth. Christians aren’t under the Law because Jesus fulfilled the Law, but He didn’t destroy it. “Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil” (Matthew 5:17).

That means that Jesus shed His own blood as the sacrifice for our sin, and you must believe in that sacrifice for redemption. God’s moral law is still in force. We know that we sin if we steal, lie, covet, etc., but through Jesus Christ, our sins are forgiven. We no longer have to shed the blood of animals in order to cover our sin. Animal blood could never take sin away. Jesus was God incarnate; His blood was pure and untainted by sin. Salvation only comes by true faith in Jesus. He was fully God, so He could redeem us, and He was fully human so that He was our kinsman. Because of Jesus Christ, we can live eternally with Him.

Why don’t Christians get excited over that? Preachers need to study Scripture to see how Peter spoke to people on the day of Pentecost and brought 3,000 men to salvation. The Apostles had no problem confronting sin, even though it was politically incorrect to call sin, sin. God’s truth was more important to them than being seeker-friendly. Jesus was God and chose to step into His creation. He knew that He would be killed, but His love was perfect, and He fulfilled every prophecy concerning His life and death. His sacrifice is something we need to really understand and praise Him with all of our heart. Put your faith in Jesus, not a man.

In today’s world, sin is sugar-coated and made not to seem as bad as it truly is. Preachers “tickle ears” and compromise God’s truth so they don’t offend the congregation. Sin is truly ugly, and when it’s accepted within Christian circles, it’s disgraceful.

God created all things. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men” (John 1:1-4).

Jesus is the Word and created all that exists. That’s exciting! Still, people choose to believe lies about evolution and take the glory away from God. Think of living in a beautiful garden with all the food you could possibly want. Read about it in Genesis chapter 1. There were no genetically-tampered-with vegetables, no pesticide-poisoned food, or other manmade dangers. It was food the way God made it to be. The water was pure and plentiful. There was only one thing that was forbidden, and that was eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

“And the LORD God commanded the man saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die” (Genesis 2:16-17).

God wasn’t being mean, just protecting Adam and Eve from eternal death. If you have diabetes and go to a lunch buffet, you find lots of good nourishing food available for you to eat. There are also desserts. These are not to be eaten by diabetics. Is that mean, or is it protecting your health and life? It was the same way in the Garden of Eden. There was plenty to eat, and only one thing was forbidden. Eve listened to Satan’s lies, and Adam listened to Eve, and they found out what God meant about death.

As the Apostle Paul wrote to the Romans. “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23).

Thank God for His mercy and grace. Sin and death entered the world because of a man, and that sin still separates humans from God. Redemption came when God shed His own blood as our final sacrifice to take sin away. Isn’t it time that you placed your faith in Jesus? Isn’t it time you share the joy of your salvation?

Because of false teachings from pulpits and books written by people who twist God’s truth, sin doesn’t seem so bad. Sin is bad, and you must repent. It’s true about God’s love and forgiveness, but don’t forget about repentance and turning from sin. Many people believe that Jesus was a historical figure but don’t repent of their sin. Faith has to be real and should motivate you to do good works in the name of Jesus.

“Thou believest that there is one God: thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble” (James 2:19).

Head knowledge of Jesus makes you acknowledge that He lived, but heart knowledge makes you want to live for Him. It will make you excited that He forgave your sins, and it will move you to a desire to turn away from sin and live for Him. Jesus is the only way to salvation, and no man could have ever taken sin away.

“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” (Romans 12:1).

The only way we can show Jesus how much we love Him is to live to please Him. Our joy needs to be in Him. We can’t have that joy if we hold on to our sin and live for the world.

There was joy in being with Jesus. I would love to have been there to hear His words. Did He say we had to repent of sin?

“Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God. And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:14-15).

By His example, Jesus taught His disciples how to preach. “And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits; and commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse: but be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats” (Mark 6:7-9).

How many preachers today are content with so little? Certainly not Rick Warren or Joel Osteen or any mega-church preacher. They also don’t preach the true Gospel or repentance.

The Disciples preached truth. “And they went out, and preached that men should repent. And they cast out many devils and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them” (Mark 6:12-13).

Perhaps if we put our faith in Jesus rather than in a man, we could have the power of the Holy Spirit work through us, just as the disciples did. They cast out demons rather than accepting the sin these devils caused. They healed the sick. What a blessing!

Today, people are deceived into believing that there are many ways to Heaven. Wrong. Jesus is the only way. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).

No man could ever bring salvation. Instead of cheering for humans, following human leaders, or buying into worldly ways, we need to give our lives to God. Jesus Christ gave everything to purchase our redemption; that’s exciting and humbling. God loved us enough to sacrifice Himself so we can live. Repent and follow Him, not a man. Jesus is the only way of salvation. All roads do not lead to Heaven. If there was any way to Heaven except through faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, then God wouldn’t have had to become human and shed His blood for our salvation.

Study Biblical prophecy. It fills a very large portion of Scripture, so God thinks it’s important. He wants us to know what’s ahead. It will also show you how important faith in Jesus is today. There will be many wars, and wickedness will abound. The time of Jacob’s Trouble is approaching… the Great Tribulation. It’s easy to be afraid as we watch world events. Christians have the Blessed Hope found only in Christ. We will be taken Home prior to the events of the Great Tribulation. What a blessing! And it only comes through faith in Jesus.

Politicians promise if we vote for this man or that man, all will be well. Only Jesus can give true Hope.

Study prophecy, and it will help you to witness to people. We are living in a time when many prophecies are being fulfilled, and even non-believers can feel there’s something big about to happen. Beware of AI, microchip implants, and other “miracles of science.” If you study prophecy and keep tuned to what people like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, George Soros, and others have planned for humanity, you will be dumbfounded. They are bringing about the Mark of the Beast and other end-time prophecies. This is a witnessing tool that will show people they must trust Jesus, not a man.

A very good source of information is videos by Billy Crone. Share the Gospel with a friend and lead them to repentance and faith in Jesus.

The world around us seems to be falling apart, and wickedness is winning the spiritual war, but Scripture tells us something different. The Rapture is drawing near.

Jesus described the Tribulation period in the Olivet Discourse. “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except these days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened” (Matthew 24:21-22).

Christians won’t be here for the Tribulation, and we should be full of worship and praise for our Lord because of this. We must put our faith in Jesus Christ because if we put our faith in a man, he just might be the Anti-Christ.

Only Jesus deserves our praise. So, if you’re tempted to go to a rock concert and scream and yell praises to a band that sings about drugs, sex, and demonic things, ask yourself, “What have these people done to earn my praises?” Ask yourself that same question when you go to a sporting event or a political rally. Why don’t Christians find joy in walking with the Lord? Ask yourself every day, “What did Jesus do for me?” and then praise Him accordingly.

Put your faith in Jesus, not a man.

God bless you all,

Nathele Graham
