Unchangeable :: By Daymond Duck

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

God, His Word (the Holy Bible), and His plans are unchangeable.

Anyone can choose to not believe them, not accept them, or not go by them, but no one can change them.

Things will eventually happen exactly as prophesied in the Scriptures.

For example, God promised to bless those that bless Israel, and to curse those that curse Israel.

In essence, those that choose to curse Israel are choosing to be cursed.

People can ignore God and the Scriptures, do what they want to do, and sincerely hope that everything will turn out okay, but it may not happen.

God is holy.

He cannot lie.

He requires things to happen the way He said they would happen.

He predicted hundreds of things that would happen before they happened (the virgin birth, crucifixion, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, etc.), and because they happened, He expects everyone to believe the unfulfilled prophecies will happen.

It is a shame for people not to believe and not to tell people about things to come.

People need to know, understand, and prepare.

Here are some recent events that seem to indicate that the end of the age is near.

One, concerning the fact that Israel cannot be destroyed: on Oct. 16, 2025, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) held a day of mourning to honor the soldiers and civilians that lost their lives in the Israel-Hamas War.

One official said,

  • This day of mourning is not just about grief.
  • It is also a declaration: Israel remembers. Israel endures. And Israel honors those who gave everything so that their people might live.

(My comment: Let the world know that Israel lives.)

Two, Muslims sometimes call Israel the Little Satan, and they call the U.S. the Great Satan.

They often say that after we destroy the Little Satan, we will destroy the Great Satan.

They can’t destroy Israel, but they are trying to, and they are trying to take over the U.S.

On Oct. 16, 2025, RAIR reported that a Muslim radio station is putting up Arabic-language billboards in Texas advertising that “We speak to you in Arabic.”

RAIR said:

  • Once upon a time, Texas highways were lined with cattle ranch ads, BBQ joints, and country radio stations celebrating the state’s heritage.
  • Now, they’re beaming foreign-language content (Arabic) across Texas airwaves.

(My comment: If the people of Texas don’t wake up soon, the call to Islamic prayer will be waking them up every day.)

(More: Pundits are predicting that a devout Twelver Shiite Muslim named Zoran Mamdani (son of a Marxist Columbia professor) will likely win the New York Mayoral race next month. Voters should be aware that he is close to gaining control of their $100 billion budget, police, schools, taxes, etc.)

(FYI: Iran is a devout Twelver Shiite Muslim nation. Iran is calling for the destruction of Israel, and the U.S. Iran wants to establish a global Shiite government and religion on earth.)

(More: On Oct. 17, 2025, the founder of CAIR (the Council of American-Islamic Relations) spoke to the Islamic Society of Orange County, Cal. and called upon mosques to fund and produce 100,000 Muslim journalists, lawyers, policymakers, and candidates by 2050 in order to build Islamic political power inside America. He said, “We have 4000 mosques in the country… if each mosque establishes a small fund… five students in journalism… filmmaking… defending rights… political science… history…
…In 12 years… 50,000 of each… In the year 2050, imagine the Muslim community will have 100,000 of each. Then we will tell our own story… defend… and… run for public office at all levels of government.”)

Three, concerning persecution of Christians at the end of the age: on Oct. 16, 2025, it was reported that India now requires local authorities to approve voluntary conversions, and unauthorized conversions can produce prison sentences and the equivalent of nearly $30,000 in fines.

Residents could also have their homes confiscated or demolished for getting people to accept Jesus.

Four, concerning persecution of Christians at the end of the age: on Oct. 16, 2025, it was reported that Turkey has expelled more than 350 foreign Christians since 2020, labeling many as “national security threats,” according to rights groups.

Five, concerning persecution of Christians at the end of the age: on Oct. 18, 2025, Zero Hedge (Tyler Durden) reported that there are about 8 billion people living in our world today, and well over half of them live in a country where Christians are being persecuted.

Six, concerning wickedness at the end of the age: on Oct. 15, 2025, it was reported that the Department of Homeland Security said Mexican drug cartels are now offering the following cash rewards:

  • $2,000 for intelligence on ICE officials and their families.
  • $5,000-10,000 for their kidnapping or non-lethal assaults.
  • Up to $50,000 for murdering high-ranking officials.

Seven, concerning Hamas killing Palestinians in Gaza: on Oct. 16, 2025, Pres. Trump said, if Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza, which was not the deal, we will have no choice but to go in and kill them.

Eight, concerning Hamas releasing the bodies of deceased hostages: on Oct. 16, 2025, Israel’s Foreign Minister said, “We know for certain that Hamas can easily release a significant number of hostages in accordance with the agreement. What they are doing now is a fundamental violation of the agreement.”

Nine, concerning the implementation of Pres. Trump’s 20-Point Plan: on Oct. 17, 2025, White House Correspondent William Koenig reported:

  • The release of the hostages is going slow, and Israel is concerned.
  • Despite pressure from Turkey, Qatar, and Egypt, Hamas is refusing to disarm.
  • Trump has announced that Saudi Arabia has expressed a willingness to join the Abraham Accords.

Ten, concerning progress on Trump’s 20-Point Plan: on Oct. 19, 2025, it was reported that:

  • Hamas terrorists attacked Israel Defense Forces in southern Gaza on Oct. 18, 2025. Israel retaliated, but the brokered ceasefire appears to be falling apart.
  • Hamas was required to return all 28 hostage bodies it held by Oct. 13, but it has only returned 12 (Note: As of Oct. 21, 2025, they had returned 13).
  • Hamas intends to remain the ruling party in Gaza during an interim period.
  • Israel released 1,950 terrorists as part of the exchange for 20 Israeli hostages and 28 bodies. At least 250 released terrorists were serving one or more life sentences for murdering Jews. All of the 250 terrorists received a significant sum of money while incarcerated, but 160 of them received the equivalent of $70 million from the Palestinian Authority (and their family members received other benefits). Some of the released murderers are now millionaires.

(BTW: A senior member of Hamas’ politburo, Mohammed Nazzal, said Hamas is now considering a 3-5-yr ceasefire to allow for reconstruction of Gaza. Really!!! Why not 7 years and someone to strengthen the agreement?)

(My questions: If Hamas is refusing to keep its current agreement, why would world leaders pretend to believe that Hamas will keep any agreement? Oh, wait! Could it be that we are at the end of the age, and world leaders hate Israel just like the Bible says? Could it be that killing Jews is an Islamic religious belief, and Hamas will not abandon its religious beliefs? What will Pres. Trump do about Hamas’ violation of the agreement? He has already issued an executive order to protect Qatar, a major financier of Hamas. Hegseth has already said the U.S will allow Qatari jets and pilots to train in Idaho. So, the U.S. has cozied up to Qatar, which sides with Iran in the financing of Hamas, and now Hamas is reneging. Trump said if Hamas keeps killing Palestinians, he will kill Hamas. What will he do if Hamas keeps killing Jews?)

(Update: On Oct. 20, 2025, Pres. Trump’s envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Israel to keep the truce from collapsing and discuss further phases of the deal.)

(Update: Concerning Hamas: on Oct. 21, 2025, Pres. Trump said, “They’re going to be nice, and if they’re not… we’re going to eradicate them if we have to.”

Eleven, Trump’s ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel requires Israeli troops to stay behind a yellow line, and Hamas not to cross it.

Hamas has already violated that, so Israel has started placing concrete blocks with yellow posts on them along the line, and Israel has warned Hamas to stay on its side of the line.

Twelve, since the beginning of 2025, 20 hay barns (storage facilities for hay to feed cows) have gone up in fire.

Many are the result of arson, and we could focus on the wickedness of man (days of Noah), hatred for Israel, etc., but I just want to point out that God called Israel the land of milk and honey, Russia will go after Israel’s cattle and goods in the latter years and latter days, etc.

Hay barns are a sign that God knows the future, and the cattle are there.

Thirteen, concerning the Battle of Gog of Magog in the latter years and latter days: on Oct. 20, 2025, the Prophecy News Watch (PNW) staff wrote:

  • In the uneasy calm following their devastating losses, Hezbollah and Iran are not defeated — they are regrouping.
  • Both powers have suffered humiliating setbacks against Israel.
  • Yet rather than signaling surrender, their restraint feels strategic — a calculated pause in the rhythm of a war that has never truly ended.

The PNW staff believes we are witnessing “The Quiet Before the Next Storm.”

Fourteen, concerning Israel being a great army at the end of the age: on Oct. 20, 2025, Israeli Prime Min. Netanyahu told the Israeli Knesset that Israel has been fighting a war on seven fronts for two years, and the Jewish military is stronger than ever.

Fifteen, concerning Pres. Trump’s 20-Point Plan: on Oct. 23, 2025, it was reported that:

  • Prime Min. Netanyahu said Israel will not agree to the Palestinian Authority (PA) taking part in governing the Gaza Strip unless it undergoes fundamental change.
  • An Israeli official said Israel will not agree to Turkish soldiers entering Gaza.
  • A different Israeli official said the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) will not have future involvement in the Gaza Strip.
  • Israel’s Finance Min. said if Saudi Arabia says normalization in exchange for a Palestinian state, friends, no thank you. Keep riding camels in the sands of the desert in Saudi Arabia.

(My opinion: God is opposed to the division of Israel, so Pres. Trump’s 20-Point Plan has a long way to go.)

Sixteen, concerning the rebuilding of Babylon at the end of the age (and a possible fulfillment of Bible prophecy): on Sept. 25, 2025, it was reported that construction has started on several major projects.

Here is a link to the article:

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.

Guard Your Heart :: By Nathele Graham

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

God wants to have fellowship with us. He has always wanted this. Many people are under the impression that God is a tyrant who sets down rules and forbids fun. That couldn’t be farther from the truth. The rules God sets down are for our protection. A good parent sets down rules for their children in order to protect them from trouble…even death. Human parents love their children, and that’s why we teach them not to take candy from strangers.

When people ignore God’s rules, trouble begins. Disease is spread, babies are offered as sacrifices to demon gods, and many other bad things happen when God is ignored. We embrace sin, but blame God when our sin brings illness or suffering.

“The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23).

God gave us a remedy for the disease of sin. That remedy is repentance and humbly bowing before Jesus and asking Him to forgive you. Only faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ will bring salvation.

God chose the nation of Israel. It is through this nation that the whole world is blessed. God gave them the Law, which, by following it closely, separated Israel from the pagan culture around them. It was a protection for them. Some of the Laws were directly related to the priesthood, some directly toward men, and others directly toward women. Keeping the Law took study and dedication.

God also directed Israel to keep certain days set apart for feasts, which were all prophetic, but also designed for days of celebration. We all know about Passover and the special foods they were to eat. For Christians, we know that this feast was a “picture” of Jesus, the Lamb of God. We celebrate it every year, but not in a way that honors God. We color eggs, pretend the Easter Bunny brought them, and seldom think of the sacrifice Jesus made in order to take our sin away. We even changed the date to coincide with an ugly pagan festival, yet we call it a Christian holiday.

Shouldn’t it be a day when God is praised? Shouldn’t it be celebrated on the day He very clearly described? It’s not an arbitrary day, but a day chosen by God that would be the day when Jesus’ blood was shed to take our sins away.

“In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD’S Passover” (Leviticus 23:5).

The first month is Nissan, which is in March and April on our calendar. It’s very disturbing that we can so easily take a pagan holiday, give it a Christian twist, and pretend we are celebrating a very important Christian event. Another one is Christmas. It’s the day we say Jesus was born, but I sincerely doubt it. To think that Caesar Augustus would call for a census requiring every man to return to his own village in the dead of winter is very hard to imagine. They couldn’t get in a car and drive there, but had to walk.

“And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary” (Luke 1:26-27).

The sixth month is Elul, which would be in August or September on our calendar. December is not 9 months after September. The day we celebrate was, once again, put on the day of a pagan festival. Why do we honor pagan festivals over God’s celebrations? We don’t know when Jesus was born, but His birth and His resurrection should be celebrated daily. We must always guard our hearts so we aren’t drawn away from God.

There is a day that most people don’t even disguise as a Christian holiday. That day is Halloween. Children are dressed in costumes, many of which are extremely evil, and sent out to beg for candy. We never really know if the candy has been tampered with. Needles and poison are often found in candy bars that our children take from strangers.

As the children grow, the rituals change. Very heinous movies are binge-watched. These movies are filled with blood, murder, satanic rituals, and much more. We may throw a party, and the entertainment might be a Ouija board or a pack of Tarot cards. It’s all in good fun. Right? The fact is, these things are pure evil and can open the way for demons to control you. Halloween is a very important day to Satanists, Wiccans, and all who dabble in the occult. If you think that you don’t have any of these evil cults in your town, you might be surprised to know that you do.

A few months ago, I had a very eye-opening experience. I found a Wiccan shop hidden in a rundown building in my town. Right here in the Bible Belt of America. Then, I also found that a person can buy a license to perform weddings online. These come with prepackaged themes for the wedding, including Wiccan ceremonies and gay weddings. Marriage is between a man and a woman, and is ordained of God. He should be the theme of weddings. Brothers and sisters, we must guard our hearts against all occult practices.

Jesus taught us to pray “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen” (Matthew 6:13). 

But on October 31, we embrace evil but still expect God’s protection. We cannot be fully devoted to God if we continue to celebrate pagan days. In my opinion, no Christian should participate in any Halloween tradition. We should never watch movies that glorify evil. Ghosts, witches, goblins, and Freddy Krueger are all evil. How does any of it glorify God? It doesn’t.

We can clearly see in Scripture how God feels about pagan ways. Israel had left the pagan culture of Egypt, and He wanted them not to be influenced by the people living in the land which He had given to Abraham and his descendants forever, which includes today. These usurpers were/are idol-worshipping pagans. The Israelites needed to guard their hearts against the evil, so God told them:

“When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee. Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God” (Deuteronomy 18:9-13).

God wanted the nation of Israel to guard their hearts against evil, and He hasn’t changed His mind. Make no mistake, Satan worship includes shedding innocent blood…a mockery of Jesus’ shed blood to take our sin away.

Children need to be taught to honor God and not follow the ways of the world. If you allow your child to go out trick-or-treating, will they become possessed? Probably not, but it’s important to ground your children in Jesus. That’s true of whatever your children do. Do they go to public school? Ground them in Biblical truth. That’s the only way to equip them to face everything in life. Adults need to continually study Scripture and look to our own hearts and lives to be sure we honor Jesus.

We live in a world that is more accepting of Satanic evil than God’s love. This has always been true. Corinth is an example of a congregation that was surrounded by pagan worship and practices, but they didn’t stand against the evil and were proud of their open-mindedness. Paul had some harsh words to them, but also encouraged them to live among the pagans, but not be a part of the culture.

“All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not” (1 Corinthians 10:23).

It might be culturally acceptable to celebrate Halloween, but are you teaching your children to glorify the world or God?

Those of us who have repented of our sins and look to Jesus for salvation should never compromise our Lord. We need to guard our hearts from being pulled away from Him. Instead of allowing the world to tell us what to do and how to act, we need to let Jesus be our guide.

“Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. For the word of God is quick, and powerful and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (Hebrews 4:11-12).

Study Scripture and draw closer to Jesus each day.

The battle is a spiritual one, and unless we stay near to God, we will be without hope. Guard your heart and honor God always.

God bless you all
