Fires of Forewarning

I am hearing it proclaimed in the strongest terms that God is judging California and punishing that area with the horrific fire because of the wickedness, the evil, it embraces. I want to disagree. I say that God is not yet judging, not in the sense that His judgment produces punishment from Heaven.

Indeed, the portions of that state that is, as of this writing, literally being devoured by the fires, fanned by 100 mph winds in some cases, is the center of wickedness the likes of which might make the people of the ancient places of Sodom and Gomorrah and Pompeii blush.

One writer writes the following in that regard.

There is so much anger about the unprecedented fires that are ravaging the Los Angeles area because there is a widespread belief that they could have been prevented. Some are blaming mismanaged forests, some are blaming the extreme incompetence of our leaders, some are blaming “climate change,” and some are blaming budget cuts. But could it be possible that the real reason why Los Angeles is burning is not related to any of those factors?

What is the one thing that sets Los Angeles apart from any other city in the world?

Needless to say, it is the entertainment industry…

Most people living in the Western world consume entertainment that originates from Los Angeles almost every single day.

Most of us are literally opening up our minds and pouring in filth on a regular basis, and that has had absolutely devastating consequences.

Of course, much of the filth that the entertainment industry produces openly mocks God and misuses His name.

Sadly, the entertainment industry was even mocking God at the Golden Globe Awards just 48 hours before the fires hit.

So they Mocked God on Sunday at the Golden Globes, Couple days later Their Houses burn down…

The entire planet has been corrupted by the movies, television shows and music that come out of Los Angeles. On top of all that, L.A. is the epicenter for the global pornography industry…

[Source: Could There Be A Reason Why Los Angeles Is Burning That Nobody Really Wants To Talk About? by Michael, End Of The American Dream, January 12, 2025]

President Trump said recently that the area destroyed by the fires looks as if they had been hit by a nuclear attack. It sure seems like the judgment of God is being visited on America’s Pompeii, doesn’t it?

No. I think not. I believe what we see happening –the fiery devastation ravaging America’s arguably the most desirable place to live in terms of environment— is actually an expression of God’s Love.

Now that seems almost as wrong in reasoning as the Woke thinking that comes out of California, that state of upside-down reprobate insanity!

Here I want to say that we are to have love and concern for the people who are suffering so desperately from these catastrophic fires. And they are catastrophic, with entire neighborhoods across a vast expanse having been completely burned to the ground. Let us reach out in compassion, knowing that ours could, but by the Grace of God, be the circumstance these in the path of the wild fires are suffering.

That said, I’m of the like opinion –I believe Holy Spirit-Given opinion– proffered by my friend Tom Hughes, whose ministry is located in the state of California.

He likened what is going on in the case of these raging fires in California to the terminal health dilemma of someone to whom he once witnessed about the Saving Power of Jesus Christ.

The man had only a couple of days to live when he went to visit him, Tom said. The man wanted to know that if there was a God, why was he suffering such pain.

Tom lovingly and gently told the cancer patient that God had blessed him all his life with a successful life and wonderful family. Despite all the opportunities to accept Christ, the man had rejected God’s Offer. The pain was given to call the man one more time. The pain was necessary as a strong measure because God knew that the place the man was going without Christ was many times worse than the pain from cancer he was suffering at present. In other words, God was using the pain to call him one last time to Salvation.

That talk Tom gave this terminally ill man might sound harsh, but it is true that the Lord sometimes works His Love and Mercy even through the pain of life.

Thankfully, the man did accept Christ before passing into the Lord’s Presence just several days later.

The following is the link to Tom’s recounting this Conversion Experience.

Tom Hughes said:

“It’s the same thing I see going on right now in America. You see it in the heart of Hollywood. God is shouting to people. Hey, you better turn to me. The Bible tells us what’s coming during the Tribulation period…

Wow, folks. God is screaming to us. He has blessed this country with great things –with so many good things, and instead of turning to the Lord, they are turning from Him. And God is shouting to us because He knows the pain is coming [when His true Wrath must punish those who reject His Son].

For anybody…if you don’t know the Lord, ask Him to forgive you. He will forgive anybody who will come to Him.”

Amen! The fires are a Merciful Call to Repentance –perhaps a last, Loving Call to accept God’s Order rather than the anti-God way of wokeness and rebellion.

What coming such painful Calls to Repentance might we expect as the nearness of the Tribulation grows closer by the hour? Once Jesus Calls all believers to Himself in the Rapture, the pain will grow infinitely worse as God’s Wrath pours out on God-rejecting mankind.

You don’t want to be part of that Wrath and of Antichrist’s unprecedented evil.

Here is how to accept Christ and be kept from that worst time of human history. Also, to keep you from the eternal, truly horrific fire –the Lake of Fire— following the final punishment of lost mankind at the Great White Throne Judgment.

“That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10).

The Perils Facing President Trump

Last Monday, we watched as Donald Trump again became President of the United States. Optimism abounds; many believe he can change the disastrous, vile, and anti-biblical policies of the previous administration before it’s too late to avert the Lord’s wrath and/or the end of America.

I’m exceedingly thankful that Trump is now our President, and I witnessed more reasons for hopefulness while watching Trump’s first day in office than I anticipated. He is far from perfect, and I disagree with him on some matters. However, if Harris had prevailed last November, we would even now be experiencing an accelerated erosion of our freedoms, Biden’s political prisoners would still be languishing in prison with no hope of an end to their torment, and our tax money would continue to flow to wars, corrupt tyrants such a Zelenskyy, and those who are here illegally and seek to harm us.

Even with the positive and heartwarming scenes that emerged from Inauguration Day 2025, the US faces a future fraught with danger. The following perils facing the newly elected President are not exhaustive, but they are the ones I consider to be the most daunting.

The Threat of WWIII

I remain convinced that the Lord is currently restraining the breakout of a deadly nuclear war that will result in far more casualties than what happened during the last century as the result of wars and communism/socialism. During his last months in office, President Biden appeared to do all that he could to provoke Russian President Vladimir Putin into attacking NATO and the US.

As President Donald Trump steps into the Oval Office, the threat posed by the Russia/Ukraine war still exists. Some believe that WWIII has already begun via this conflict. Will the President be able to calm tensions in a war that has already claimed so many lives? The heavy loss of life seems to have hardened Putin’s heart against accepting any peace agreement that doesn’t give him a decisive victory.

The other key flashpoint is China’s threat to invade Taiwan. I expected this to happen during the final days of the Biden administration. This could easily result in a war with horrific consequences.

The latest news is that experts expect Iran to possess a nuclear bomb within two months. If that happens, its leaders will seek to use it against Israel and US interests in the future. Iran’s recent twenty-year pact with Russia complicates this alarming development.

A Deeply Divided Nation

In response to the Pharisee’s accusation that He cast out demons by the power of Satan, Jesus responded, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand” (Matthew 12:25). His words apply to what we see happening in the US. We are a deeply divided nation and in many ways, a nation at war with itself.

The policies proposed by President Trump and his cabinet choices will wreak havoc among the deep state and cost them billions, if not trillions, of dollars. His ongoing efforts to expose the hidden wickedness of the elite in Washington, DC, puts him at odds with many who yield considerable clout in both the media and Congress.

Trump’s naiveness regarding the depth of the deep state’s powers hurt him during his first term as President and resulted in betrayals by many of his trusted advisors. As he seeks to delegitimize those who hate America and seek to destroy him, we can be sure they will put up a fight with no regard for the consequences, even if it means the destruction of the US. They are exceedingly evil and will continue to use deadly force to maintain their stranglehold on America.

Economic Devastation

I have written often about the dangers of America’s national debt and out-of-control spending. It now stands at $36.2 trillion and is growing at a rate of one trillion dollars every one hundred days. If not for the Lord’s restraining hand, this surely would’ve long ago plunged the US and the world into an economic depression far worse than what happened in the 1930’s.

A priority of the incoming President is that of bringing the spending under control, but is it too late? Is this a ticking time bomb that’s set to explode in the near future?

The massive debt levels in the US and throughout the world tell us that the third rider of the apocalypse is ready to ride (see Revelation 6:5-6). The day is rapidly approaching when Jesus will open the third seal and bring economic woes upon the entire world. Does this not signify the nearness of the Rapture?

Illegal Immigration

Even those of the outgoing Biden administration have admitted that because many enemies of the US have entered our country through Mexico during the past four years, we face the likelihood of a devastating terror attack perhaps worse than 9/11. There are credible reports that hundreds, if not thousands, of Chinese men of military age, without spouses or children, have entered our country.

It’s likely that President Trump’s deportation program to rid the country of the illegals will have already begun by the time you read this. His program, though just and absolutely necessary, will cause much strife and perhaps spark violence in the months ahead.

The Push to Divide Israel

Although President Trump is a friend of Israel, he faces a worldwide mindset that seeks to divide Israel and thereby bring about the Lord’s wrath upon the nations. The prophetic words of Joel 3:1-2 are ever so close to reaching fulfillment:

“For behold, in those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. And I will enter into judgment with them there, on behalf of my people and my heritage Israel, because they have scattered them among the nations and have divided up my land.”

Though these verses speak to the gathering of the world’s armies at the time of the Second Coming, they aptly depict the current mindset that seeks to divide the Land of Israel and, as a result, kindle God’s wrath. The world’s uncanny obsession with Jerusalem has already begun the fulfillment of Zechariah 12:1-3.

The current determination of the nations to divide both Israel and Jerusalem was set in motion by Saudi Arabia in 2024. These countries plan to meet at the UN during the first week of June 2025 with the goal of formulating a seven or ten-year peace covenant with Israel. It’s possible that they will agree to impose upon Israel a seven-year peace treaty with plans to formally ratify in September of 2025. It’s possible that we see the buildup to Daniel’s seventieth week (Daniel 9:27).

What will be President Trump’s role in the scheduled meeting of this group set for June 2025? Any acceptance of the dividing up of the Land or Jerusalem will surely bring God’s wrath upon the US.

Of course, if this turns out to be the antichrist’s peace accord with Israel, we will be with Jesus before the man of lawlessness steps onto the world stage and ratifies it.

I wish President Trump well and pray daily for his safety and wisdom as he deals with these perils. These dangers, however, also tell me that the seven-year Tribulation is rapidly approaching.

I have no illusions that political solutions, however just and correct they might be, will alter the world’s mad rush to a one-world Marxist government under the antichrist. My hope for the future rests one hundred percent with Jesus and His imminent appearing.

At any moment now, the Father will send Him to fetch His bride.

Pray Unceasingly

“Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).

Apostasy and Doctrines of Demons

Davos 2025 Celebrates Neo-Paganist Movement – Promotes Giving Personhood to Forests, Rivers, Valleys and Streams. Since at least 2020, the World Economic Forum has argued in favor of giving nature, rivers, valleys, and streams personhood. The pagan movement to grant nature personhood took off last year when Canada classified the Quebec River a person under the law. This label protects the river from harm by humans.

From The Skies

Know this: The phrase “heavenly places” or “heavenly realms” is translated from the Greek word epouranios, meaning “the sphere of spiritual activities.” “Heavenly realms” can refer to both angelic and demonic activity (from gotquestions.org). “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12, KJV). Other translations say heavens, heavenly places, or heavenly realms.

Is the latest mystery part of a Government project and/or are they preparing us for a fake alien invasion?

New footage of mystery drones shows ‘glowing orbs’ over New York. A New Jersey Mayor shared new footage of ‘glowing orbs transforming into drones’ over Long Island, adding more intrigue to this ongoing mystery. Michael Melham, Belleville mayor, has been outspoken about the unexplained phenomena plaguing his state and the greater tri-state area since mid-November when the drones first appeared. He shared the bizarre footage on X, saying the clips ‘appear to show glowing orbs turning into drones. Verified not to be planes via flight tracker. They hover. Glow. Then move.’ Melham said he is still getting reports of drone sightings ‘all over New Jersey, and even Long Island.’

New Jersey still appears to be the epicenter of drone reports following the first sightings in November, when eyewitnesses reported ‘car-sized drones’ flying above a military base and President Trump’s golf course. But since then, hundreds of other reports have surfaced across the Northeast and even from several southern states, including Virginia, Kentucky, and the Carolinas.

UFO is “moving at hundreds of miles an hour underwater,” Republican congressman told by admiral.

Republican Rep. Tim Burchett said, “They tell me something’s moving at hundreds of miles an hour underwater… as large as a football field, underwater.” Burchett, known for claims that the U.S. government is hiding existence of UFOs and other alien activity, said anything is possible given “the vastness of God’s great universe.” However, he told Americans not to worry about the suspected extraterrestrials’ extraordinary advances. “I’m not worried about them harming me,” he said. “I mean, with those capabilities, they would have barbecued us a long time ago.” No evidence has been produced of intelligent life beyond Earth.

Pervasive Perversion

Distasteful Ad from Dunkin’ Donuts. The commercial features Sabrina Carpenter launching the new Sabrina’s Brown Sugar Shakin’ Espresso. Unfortunately, it also features a “Shake That Ess” slogan. Foul language (or implication of it) is unnecessary in this or any advertisement. Yet, that is apparently what Dunkin’ intended. This inappropriate slogan is repeated throughout the commercial.

And the Abortion Abomination

Good news: Trump praises pro-lifers in DC for valuing every child as a ‘beautiful gift from the hand of our creator.’ President Trump addressed the 52nd annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. via video on Friday, just one day after pardoning 23 pro-lifers imprisoned by the Biden regime. He concluded by telling the crowd braving the cold, “Your hearts are warm and your spirits are strong because your cause is just and very, very pure,” and thanking them for valuing every child as a “beautiful gift from the hand of our creator.”

Senate Democrats Block Bill to Save Lives of Babies Who Survive Botched Abortions. Every Senate Democrat voted Wednesday afternoon against legislation requiring that babies who survive botched abortions receive medical care.

Deliberate Border Disorder (Marxist Agenda)

California: Huntington Beach Defies Gov. Newsom, Unanimously Votes to Become ‘Non-Sanctuary City.’

Weather Events

Major storm lashes Ireland and Scotland with hurricane-force winds. Forecasters had issued a rare “red” weather warning, meaning danger to life, across the whole island of Ireland and central and southwest Scotland. Ireland bore the brunt of the storm first, hit with wind gusts of 114 mph (183 kph), the strongest since World War II, as a winter storm spiraled in from the Atlantic before hitting Scotland. A man died after a tree fell on his car in County Donegal in the northwest of Ireland.

Fires

New Fire Explodes To Over 10,000 Acres North Of L.A. “You can thank Gavin Newsom’s buddies over at the California Air Resources Board for supplying the acre upon acre of unmanaged dry brush as fuel.

Is the L.A. Firepocalypse Part of the Great Reset Gameplan? “Are the L.A. wildfires — which have razed over 38,000 acres (57 sq. miles), the equivalent of a midsize city like Minneapolis — a chance outbreak? Or is there a design behind this Firepocalypse? More specifically, is it part of a concerted attempt by the global elite to use fire, floods, and fear to push so-called “sustainable” goals for the Great Reset?”

California’s Wildfires, A Calamity of Whose Making? Some are comparing the L.A. fires with judgments in Revelation. However, this isn’t yet the “wrath of the Lamb” but a warning of its impending arrival and a call for repentance. There’s coming a day when many will correctly identify the “wrath of the Lamb,” but then it will be too late to escape the Lord’s fury.

Plague, Pestilence, and Plandemices

Is 2025 Going to Look Like a Hollywood Disaster Movie? In recent weeks, so many of the usual suspects have been doing interviews in which they warn that a bird flu pandemic among humans has become inevitable. Cats are dying from coast to coast too. In Oregon, it has been determined that a cat that recently died from the bird flu caught it by eating turkey-based cat food…

Economic and Food Insecurity

Good news: US Puts on Hold Most Foreign Aid, Except Military Assistance to Israel, Egypt. The U.S., the world’s biggest donor, froze virtually all foreign aid on Friday, making exceptions only for emergency food and military funding for Israel and Egypt. Secretary of State Rubio sent an internal memo days after President Trump took office vowing an “America First” policy of tightly restricting assistance overseas.

Both Iran’s and Russia’s economies are in bad shape, as the articles below show. As we know, Russia and Iran are prophesied to attack Israel to ‘plunder’ and ‘take the spoils’…or so they think.

Iran coming apart at the seams. Its GDP steadily sinks. Over 40% of Iranians now live below the poverty line. Since establishment of the Islamic government in 1979, Iranian currency has undergone an 11,000-fold decline in value. Politically, Iran is on its back foot. All of its major allies formerly part of Iran’s “Shi’a crescent” – Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, and Assad’s regime in Syria – have fallen away.

Russian economy meltdown as firms face mass bankruptcies and consumer borrowing costs soar. Hit by a triple whammy of soaring loans, plummeting sales, and evaporating state support, many small to medium-sized companies (SMEs) are teetering on the verge of disaster. Russian consumers have been hit hard in the pocket by rising prices, particularly for food.

Wars and Rumors of Wars

Israeli gov’t orders IDF not to complete withdrawal from southern Lebanon. The Israeli government ordered the IDF not to complete its withdrawal from southern Lebanon, contrary to original terms of the ceasefire agreement. The terms of the ceasefire deal had set a 60-day deadline that expires on Jan. 26 for the IDF to pull its troops from Lebanon. IDF commanders were told that Israel continues to negotiate with the new U.S. administration to receive its approval to extend the deadline by several days to weeks.

Trump says he’s ‘hopeful’ Iran deal can be reached without Israeli military strike on nuclear program.
Asked if he would support Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, Trump first replied, “I’m not going to answer that,” adding that he’d soon hold high-level discussions on the issue. “It would really be nice if that could be worked out without having to go that further step,” Trump said.

Contrary to agreement: Hamas will free four female IDF soldiers. Despite Hamas’ violation of the ceasefire terms by planning to release four female IDF soldiers instead of civilians on Saturday, Israel at this time does not plan to cancel the ceasefire deal.
