On Feb. 5, 2024, several members of Congress and political experts gathered on Capitol Hill for a press conference to discuss how the World Health Organization (WHO) Pandemic Treaty threatens America.
This is how an article by Louis Knuffke at LifeSiteNews.com reported it:
- “Members of the U.S. Congress warned Monday that the proposed World Health Organization Pandemic Treaty, which would cede significant power of governance over nations to self-appointed globalists in the case of a newly declared ‘health emergency,’ looms as the greatest threat to freedom, national sovereignty, and the sanctity of life that has ever been seen in human history.”
Knuffke reported that legal experts have called this a power grab by “a small committee of elite left-wing globalists appropriating to themselves control of all basic functions of a free society.”
Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ) said the definition of a health crisis could include or potentially include the health of the planet, climate change, abortion on demand (including dismemberment, beheading, and starvation), and transgender surgeries regardless of a nation’s laws, and it is designed to silence dissent.
There is no question that America is facing one of the greatest threats it has ever faced, but there is a greater threat. That is what the Bible says God will do during the Tribulation Period when these self-appointed globalist elites are under a world government.
(Note: It troubles me that several members of Congress held a press conference on Capitol Hill to discuss a great threat to America; it will be voted on at the end of May, and I have seen very little about it in the media.)
Here is a link to the article.
Here are other articles that may be relevant to Bible prophecy.
One, I have often expressed my opinion that…
- the Rider on the Black Horse is a global economic collapse (Rev. 6:5-6).
- an economic collapse of the U.S. would trigger a global economic collapse.
- the global collapse will happen early in the Tribulation Period after the Antichrist has arrived and a world government has been established.
- it is a globalist goal to create a world government by 2030 or sooner, if possible.
On Feb. 7, 2024, the Congressional Budget Committee published its economic outlook for the future of the U.S.
Among other things, the report says:
- America’s debt is “rising out of control.”
- By 2034 (perhaps early in the Tribulation Period), several government funds (Highway, Social Security, Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust) will be depleted.
Sen. Mitt Romney said, “Without action, we risk economic and geopolitical collapse.”
Two, it is common knowledge that Pres. Trump is being prosecuted for allegedly mishandling government documents.
An investigation of Joe Biden for doing the same thing has just been completed, and a special council report was released on Feb. 8, 2024.
According to the report, there will be no charges against Pres. Biden because a jury would not likely convict him because of his age and lack of memory.
Some things the special council report says about an interview with Biden are:
- He could not remember when he was vice president.
- He could not remember when his term as vice president ended.
- He could not remember when his son Beau died.
- He has limited precision and recall.
- He would likely present himself to a jury as “a well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” and the jury would likely sympathize with him and rule that he did not willfully break the law.
According to a different article, the report said Biden “willfully retained his classified notebooks… stored them in his house, and he knew he was not allowed to do so.”
(More: Following the release of the report, Pres. Biden called a press conference to reply to what the report says. During the conference, he declared that he is “the most qualified person to be president of the United States.” But he got the president of Egypt and the president of Mexico mixed up, he got the border of Gaza mixed up with the border of Mexico, and he forgot the name of the church where his deceased son Beau got the rosary that Biden now wears daily.)
A reader sent me an e-mail that says, “In one week, Biden has:
- Spoken to a dead French Prime Minister
- Spoken to a dead German Chancellor
- Been declared mentally unfit by a special prosecutor
- He called President Sisi of Egypt the President of Mexico even last night.
The world is on fire, and this man has the nuclear codes.”
(My comment: The man who will be asked to surrender the sovereignty of the U.S. at the World Health Organization meeting in late May appears to be mentally ill. He needs our prayers. America needs our prayers.)
(More: On Feb. 12, 2024, it was reported that Vice Pres. Kamala Harris said she is ready to serve.)
Three, concerning all the world turning against Israel at the end of the age: on Feb. 8, 2024, Pres. Biden released a memorandum that requires every nation that receives military aid from the U.S. to send proof to the U.S. State Dept. and Congress that they are following international humanitarian and human rights laws.
As of Feb. 8, 2024, nations that are currently involved in a conflict have 45 days to respond.
If they fail to satisfactorily respond, the transfer of defense articles and services will be paused until they do.
If credible violations of international humanitarian and human rights laws are found, defense articles or services could be suspended.
The Biden administration went out of its way to brief Israel on Biden’s memorandum.
Biden appears to be trying to threaten Israel (or should I say protect Hamas), but God is on Israel’s side, and no weapon formed against Israel will succeed.
Four, concerning corruption in the UN and a corrupt world government: on Feb. 11, 2024, Israel revealed that it has found:
- A major Hamas terror center in a large tunnel (almost 2,300 ft long) under the UNRWA main headquarters in Gaza.
- An electrified data center, rows of computer servers, and living quarters in the tunnel that received electricity from the UNRWA headquarters (the UNRWA was supplying the electricity for the Hamas data center, computer servers, and living quarters).
After finding this, Israel invaded the UNRWA headquarters and found:
- Weapons, ammunition, grenades, and explosives.
- Intelligence assets and documents.
- UNRWA officials that admitted that Hamas used offices at the UNRWA headquarters.
The UNRWA commissioner general is denying having any knowledge of a Hamas terror tunnel under his headquarters, but Israel has called upon him to resign.
According to one Israeli official, the UNRWA serves as one of the arms of Hamas’ civil government in Gaza.
Five, concerning an increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters at the end of the age: on Feb. 8, 2024, a tornado touched down in Wisconsin for the first time in recorded history in February.
(More: As of Feb. 9, 2024, the massive storm – the wettest 3-day period in California history – that has been pounding California this week has killed 9 people.)
(More: For those that are interested, here is a link to a video that shows the path of the April 8, 2024, eclipse: https://www.greatamericaneclipse.com/april-8-2024).
Six, concerning the destruction of Damascus, Syria, in one night (Isa. 17): on Feb. 10, 2024, Israeli jets struck several sites on the outskirts of Damascus.
Syria’s Foreign Minister said:
- Syria is prepared to engage in conflict with Israel, emphasizing that the liberation of the occupied Golan Heights remains a top priority for Syria.
- We are ready for war against Israel, but we will decide when and how we will enter this war.
Israel has started moving troops from central Gaza to its border with Lebanon and Syria.
Some prophecy teachers have been expecting this war to break out for a long time and it has not happened, but we know it is coming, and the Syrian official said they are ready.
When it comes, Israel will use bigger bombs.
(More: On Feb. 13, 2024, it was reported that Hezbollah is training Russians to fly Iranian drones in Syria. This sounds like preparation for Ezek. 38-39 and Isa. 17.)
Seven, concerning an increase in wars and rumors of wars at the end of the age: on Feb. 13, 2024, it was reported that a British military think-tank called The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) warned that the world is facing “what is likely to be a more dangerous decade.”
Several nations are building up their military forces, and some are likely to use them.
Below is a daily update on the Israel-Hamas war.
Wednesday, Feb. 7, 2024 (Day 124): The sixty-ninth day of the resumed war.
- An Israeli air strike on Syrian military sites and an airbase killed and injured several civilians.
- Netanyahu criticized Pres. Biden for putting sanctions on four Jewish citizens who have been accused of violence against Palestinians. Netanyahu added, “If they were using it equally, they would have imposed sanctions on Palestinians as well.”
- A poll found that the vast majority of Israelis do not want the war to end until Hamas is defeated.
- Israel told Egypt that Hamas is smuggling weapons and supplies through 12 tunnels between Egypt and Gaza, and Hamas cannot be destroyed without destroying those tunnels. Not destroying them will allow Hamas to lay low, rebuild, and take control of Gaza again. Israel does not want to damage its peace treaty with Egypt, but Israel believes the tunnels must be destroyed.
Thursday, Feb. 8, 2024 (Day 125): The seventieth day of the resumed war.
- Biden told a group of reporters at the White House that he thinks “the conduct of the response (Israel’s attack on Hamas) in the Gaza Strip has been over the top.”
- Netanyahu told U.S. Sec. of State Blinken that Israel will continue in its goal to eradicate Hamas. Netanyahu said, “There is no other solution besides complete victory.”
- Israel used a drone to target and kill a Hezbollah commander in Lebanon.
- Hezbollah responded to the death of its commander by firing 30 rockets into Israel from Lebanon that injured three Israeli soldiers.
- Israel offered to let Yahya Sinwar leave the Gaza Strip and go into exile in exchange for the release of all the hostages.
- Israel killed the commander of Hamas’ special police force in Rafah.
Friday, Feb. 9, 2024 (Day 126): The seventy-first day of the resumed war.
- Netanyahu said Israel will evacuate civilians and enter Rafah to eliminate the last remaining members of Hamas.
- An Israeli Knesset member canceled a scheduled meeting in Washington, DC, with UN Sec. Gen. Guterres over Guterres’ controversial anti-Israel statements.
Saturday, Feb. 10, 2024 (Day 127): The seventy-second day of the resumed war.
- There were Israeli airstrikes on three homes in Rafah.
- Israel believes Hamas has four battalions of troops in Rafah.
- Netanyahu said those who oppose IDF operations in Rafah want Israel to lose the war.
- Several nations, including the U.S., Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Egypt, have warned Israel that attacking Hamas in Rafah will lead to a disaster.
- Israel now has evidence that dozens of United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) employees were involved in the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel (Murder, beheadings, rape, capture of hostages, etc.). Israel’s defense min. called the UNRWA “Hamas with a facelift.” He blamed nations for financing an agency that did these things. (Note: The UNRWA and its commissioner general have been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.)
Sunday, Feb. 11, 2024 (Day 128): The seventy-third day of the resumed war.
- It was reported that Egypt gave Hamas two weeks to make compromises with Israel, or Egypt will agree to let Israeli ground forces enter Rafah.
- Israel rescued two hostages that were being held in an apartment in Rafah.
- Biden advised Israel not to send troops into Rafah without a credible and executable plan to provide for the safety of citizens.
- Qatar funds an Arab media network called Al Jazeera, and Israel reported that a journalist in Al Jazeera is a Hamas commander (meaning Qatar may be involved in the Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel).
- Israel delivered supplies to a hospital in Khan Younis and found 20 Hamas terrorists hiding inside (they surrendered without firing a shot).
Monday, Feb. 12, 2024 (Day 129): The seventy-fourth day of the resumed war.
- King Abdullah II of Jordan will visit the White House today to lobby for a ceasefire in Gaza and discuss the Two-State Solution for peace in the Middle East.
- Biden said he is pushing for a six-week pause in the Israel-Hamas war as a stepping stone to a longer pause.
- Hamas is freaking out over Israel’s threat to enter Rafah, and Biden is becoming increasingly vocal over his desire for the war to end now.
- Biden warned Netanyahu not to send the Israeli military into Rafah.
- Hamas needs to control Rafah so it can control the international aid (and the Palestinian people) that is being trucked into Gaza from Egypt.
- The UN has 50 refugee camps outside Gaza in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and the West Bank that could take the Palestinians and protect them during the war, but those nations don’t want them, and the UN won’t move them. These nations, the UN, U.S., and EU keep demanding that Israel protect them.
- An official at UN Watch, a human rights organization in Switzerland, said, “Funding the UNWRA is like providing missiles to Hamas. It is fuel to keep the conflict going.”
- Israel said there will be no ceasefire that leaves Hamas in power or hostages in Gaza.
- Egypt said its peace treaty with Israel is not in jeopardy by Israel’s preparations to invade Rafah.
- Hamas claimed that eight hostages were seriously injured when Israel rescued two hostages in Rafah, and now they are saying two of the eight have died.
Tuesday, Feb. 13, 2024 (Day 130): The seventy-fifth day of the resumed war.
- South Africa asked the International Court of Justice to determine if Israel’s attack on Rafah (when they rescued two hostages on Feb. 11) violated the court’s order in the genocide case they heard last month.
- France sanctioned 28 Jewish settlers for violence in the West Bank. (Note: I wonder why they don’t sanction French citizens and Muslims for violence in France.)
- According to the first ceasefire agreement, Hamas agreed to deliver medicines to hostages in exchange for more aid for Palestinians, but the two recently released hostages said they did not receive any medications.
- Turkey’s Pres. Erdogan (an Ezek. 38-39 enemy) demanded that Israel halt its war with Hamas.
- The Sec. Gen. of the Arab League warned Israel that the seizure of any land in Gaza or the West Bank that the Palestinians want for a Palestinian state would mean a confrontation for the next thousand years. (Note: God made a covenant to give all of it to Israel, but the Palestinians and Arabs want all of it for themselves.)
Wednesday, Feb. 14, 2024 (Day 131): The seventy-sixth day of the resumed war.
- Hezbollah fired a flood of rockets and missiles from Lebanon into Israel that killed one person and injured eight.
- Israeli jets are retaliating.
- Turkey’s Pres. Erdogan visited Egypt to push for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.
- One hundred representatives of relatives of Israeli hostages, as well as former hostages, filed a war crime complaint against the Hamas terror group at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague. They presented 1,000 pages of evidence and are demanding the arrest of Hamas’ leaders.
- Israel has offered to set up 15 camps with 25,000 tents in each camp that would be paid for by the U.S., Egypt, Jordan, and the UAE and give the Palestinians a place to go to while Israel attacks Hamas in Rafah.
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.
