The War Continues :: By Daymond Duck

God gave all the Promised Land to Israel and warned the world not to divide it (Gen. 17:7-8; Joel 3:2), but Pres. Biden and others have pushed the Two-State solution (division of Israel) since the early 1990s.

Pres. Biden and others have often tried to tell Prime Min. Netanyahu what to do, and when he refused, they have tried to bring an end to Netanyahu’s government.

Earlier this month, Pres. Biden sent U.S. Sec. of State Blinken to several nations supposedly to keep the Israel-Hamas war from spreading.

In Saudi Arabia, Blinken got an agreement from Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman to agree to normalize relations with Israel in exchange for accepting the Two-State Solution.

Blinken then went to Israel with the deal in his hand, but Netanyahu rejected it.

At one of Israel’s military bases, Netanyahu said:

  • “The war continues, and it will continue until the end, until we complete all our goals: The return of the abductees, the elimination of Hamas, and the assurance that Gaza will no longer pose a threat to Israel. Let there be no mistake; we will persist in the fight on land, at sea, and in the air until complete victory.”

These events triggered reports that Biden is upset; he hasn’t talked to Netanyahu in about a month, and he is once again trying to get Netanyahu removed from office.

One report said the Biden administration is beginning to make plans for what it will do on the day after Netanyahu is out of office.

Another report said Blinken met secretly with members of Netanyahu’s war cabinet to try to undermine Netanyahu.

On Jan. 18, 2024, it was reported that Netanyahu said:

  • “Israel must have security control over the entire territory west of the Jordan River.”
  • “I put the brakes on the attempt to coerce us to a reality that would endanger the state of Israel.”
  • “We will not settle for anything short of an absolute victory.”

(More: On Jan. 19, 2024, it was reported that a rift broke out in Israel’s war cabinet, and there was criticism of how Netanyahu is managing the war. It was reported that Netanyahu and his Defense Min. are barely on speaking terms. Is it a coincidence that this happened on the day after it was reported that Blinken tried to undermine Netanyahu?)

(More: After the rift, Biden called Netanyahu. They spoke for about 30-40 minutes, and the chasm between them appeared to grow wider.)

(More: On Jan. 19, 2024, Netanyahu linked his removal from office to the division of Israel. Netanyahu said, “I can say something about what they call the day after Netanyahu… Those who speak of the day after Netanyahu are talking about the creation of a Palestinian state led by the Palestinian Authority.”)

(More: On Jan. 19, 2024, the EU’s top diplomat said the international community may have to impose the Two-State solution on Israel without Israel’s agreement.)

(More: On Jan. 19, 2024, Netanyahu’s government easily survived a no-confidence vote when only 18 out of 120 Knesset members voted. Some members said they would not play politics while the nation is at war, and they refused to vote.)

(My opinion: Pres. Biden and many others are willing to risk the security of Israel for peace with the Muslims. The Muslims claim to be a religion of peace, but they believe they must conquer the entire world for Allah before there can be peace. They also believe they can make peace treaties and break them if doing that will advance their goal of world domination. The international community believes they can divide Israel and get peace and safety. The Bible says God will not allow that. His judgment will fall, and there will be no peace on earth until the Second Coming of Jesus.)

(My opinion: Israel must stop relying on the U.S., the EU, or any other earthly entity and start relying on God. And by relying on God, I do not mean rebuild the Temple and resume the animal sacrifices. I mean repent of their sins and accept a Jew called Jesus as their Messiah.)

Here are more events that appear to indicate that history is at the end of the age.

One, concerning world government: on Jan. 17, 2024, it was reported that the World Health Organization (WHO) Sec. Gen. Ghebreyesus told the World Economic Forum (WEF) that Disease X (an unidentified, non-existent, future disease) will happen.

He said it is a matter of “when,” not “if.”

He doesn’t know when it will happen, but companies are already working on a vaccine to treat this disease.

He said it would be a Covid-like disease, and we could consider Covid the first Disease X.

(Update: According to End Time Headlines, on Jan. 17, 2024, WHO Director Gen. Ghebreyesus urged the nations to sign the International Pandemic Treaty by May 24, 2024, so the world can prepare for Disease X. He said preparing for terrible diseases the world doesn’t know about is a global interest, not a national interest.)

(More: On Jan. 23, 2024, Dr. Robert Malone said Disease X is an imaginary infectious disease that the WHO is using to scare the public into governmental compliance, to gain power for unelected officials, and to get more money.)

(My opinion: This appears to be the beginning of the next fake pandemic. The so-called experts who are warning the world about Disease X are not named. Their research is not available. We are expected to believe the scare tactics of people who have been dishonest in the past and are clearly trying to get control of the healthcare of everyone on earth.)

Two, concerning world government and world religion: on Jan. 17, 2024, following a speech that Pope Francis sent to the WEF24 meeting in Davos, Catholic Archbishop Vigano released a statement saying:

  • Pope Francis supports the globalists and the New World Order.
  • Pope Francis is a servant of the globalist elite (characters who openly declare that they want to reduce the world’s population through wars, famines, and organized pestilence).
  • What would Jesus have said at the WEF? Not what Pope Francis said.
  • Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of the Antichrist.

(My opinion: I do not believe the Antichrist will rule from Rome, but the False Prophet will support the Antichrist, and the False Prophet may come from Rome.)

(More: White House Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said the post-World War II international order “seems to be not that order anymore. We are on the way to a new order, so we are between orders.” This sounds like the Biden administration believes the world is in a transition period between the old world order and the New World Order; world government.)

(More: Klaus Schwab, head of the WEF, said governments and “decision-makers” must “break the cycle” of nationalism and individualism to achieve its Great Reset objectives.)

Three, concerning world government: on Jan. 17, 2024, UN Sec. Gen. Guterres:

  • Called for global governance in a new multi-polar global order (in a June 26, 2020, speech, he said he wants global governance with teeth).
  • This is needed because nations (today it’s Russia and Gaza) are “ignoring international law, trampling on the Geneva Conventions, and even violating the United Nations Charter.”

Four, concerning a godless world government headed by an antichrist leader: this week, Laura J. Wellington, an award-winning author and blogger who attended the recent WEF meeting, wrote:

  • I hardly see leaders. What I see is a bunch of egomaniacs on a mission to ruin our planet.
  • The decision to leave God out of the event, focusing instead on his creation itself (Mother Earth, Climate Change, etc.), is purposeful.
  • God has dealt with this type before, and he will again. They never win.
  • Imagine all the good these people could do for humanity if, in fact, they weren’t hell-bent on taking it over, throwing God out, and controlling every thought in people’s heads.

(Note: Wellington’s comments were prompted by the presentation of a pagan ritual that drew a standing ovation at the WEF meeting. It reminded her of Rom. 1:22-25.)

Five, concerning a rebuilt Temple: in Old Testament times when the Jews were wandering in the wilderness, those who carried the Tabernacle, set it up, took it down, and served there had to meet two requirements: 1) they had to be descendants of Aaron, and 2) they had to be cleansed with water of purification made with the ashes of a red heifer that was pure and unblemished.

When the next Jewish Temple is built, those who build it and serve there must be descendants of Aaron, and they must be cleansed with the water of purification made with the ashes of a red heifer that was pure and unblemished.

But for almost 2,000 years, Israel didn’t have one because the Romans destroyed their herd of Red Heifers when they destroyed Israel in 70 A.D.

In Sept. 2022, a rancher in Texas had five red heifers that were pure and without blemish, and they were moved from Texas to Israel.

On July 16, 2023, it was reported that three of the red heifers were still pure and without blemish, and if just one of these red heifers remained unblemished until early 2024, it could be sacrificed on Passover, and its ashes could be used to cleanse priests to build the next Temple and serve there.

On Aug. 8, 2023, it was reported that the Israeli government has discretely shifted some funds to prepare for purification services and possibly the construction of a third Temple.

According to the report, little is being said about this because rebuilding the Temple is an explosive issue.

On Jan. 14, 2024, a spokesperson for Hamas was being interviewed on TV, and he said bringing red cows to Israel was the “application of a detestable religious myth” that ignored and hurt the feelings of the Arabs.

Following the arrival of the 5 Red Heifers in Israel, Hamas had warned that they posed a threat to the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount.

The Hamas spokesperson seemed to be saying Hamas started the Israel-Hamas war to stop the Jews from sacrificing a Red Heifer and rebuilding the Temple.

Six, concerning the decline of the U.S.: on Jan. 18, 2024, it was reported that the military can no longer meet its recruiting requirements, and it is finding that some white men are refusing to serve in a military that discriminates against white people.

Seven, concerning the decline of America: U.S. citizens must show a passport or a valid ID to fly in or out of the U.S..

On Jan. 24, 2024, it was reported that the Biden Administration is seeking ways to let illegal aliens fly without a passport or ID.

(My opinion: Biden is trying harder to protect Hamas terrorists and illegal aliens than he is trying to protect Israel and the U.S.)

Eight, concerning the decline of the U.S.: on Jan. 19, 2024, it was reported that First Lady Jill Biden will be sponsoring an Easter Egg decorating contest at the White House, but contestants cannot put religious themes on their eggs (They can’t use anything about Passover, the cross, the resurrection of Jesus, etc.).

(Note: Passover and Easter are about the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. It looks like the spirit of antichrist has taken over the White House.)

Nine, concerning wars and rumors of wars at the end of the age: on Jan. 18, 2024, prophecy expert Amir Tsarfati listed 8 areas of conflict that are taking place now.

  • Israel’s Conflict with Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.
  • Iraqi Militias’ Conflict with Israel.
  • Iran’s Conflict with Syria, Iraq, and Pakistan.
  • Yemen’s Conflict with the US and the UK.
  • Russia’s Conflict with Ukraine.
  • China’s Threats Against Taiwan.
  • Turkey attacks the Kurds.
  • North Korea Threats Against South Korea.

Ten, concerning deceit and corruption in the White House: while campaigning for Pres. in 2022, now Pres. Biden said Hunter’s Laptop from Hell was “a bunch of garbage” and a “Russian Plant” that nobody believes.

On Jan. 18, 2024, the U.S. Dept. of Justice said that the laptop belonged to Hunter, and it is not Russian disinformation.

Eleven, concerning corruption and a stolen election in 2020: two professors (one at the Univ. of Michigan and the other at Auburn Univ.) have proven that Dominion Voting Machines can be hacked, and the votes can be altered.

The professors proved this by hacking into a Dominion Voting Machine Tabulator in the presence of a judge in court and changing the vote totals on Jan. 19, 2024.

One of the professors issued a report on this in the past (date not given in the article), but the Georgia Sec. of State covered it up until a Federal District Court Judge unsealed it in June 2023.

(By the way: On Jan. 22, 2024, it was reported that Biden spent the weekend at his 3.4-million-dollar home in Delaware. Some media is reporting that he has spent 432 days – almost 40% – of his presidency on vacation.)

Twelve, concerning tracking of all buying and selling: Queen Máxima of the Netherlands urged globalist elites at the World Economic Forum (WEF) to expand plans for global “digital IDs” to ensure they can track individuals’ “vaccination status” and other private information.

Here is a daily update on the Israel-Hamas war.

Thursday, Jan. 18, 2024 (Day 104): The forty-ninth day of the resumed war.

  • Hamas had 24 fighting regiments in Gaza, and Israel has destroyed about 16-17 of them (approximately 2/3).
  • The U.S. launched several air strikes on Houthi sites in Yemen.
  • Israel killed the Islamic Jihad leader who was released in a trade for Gilad Shalit.

Friday, Jan. 19, 2024 (Day 105): The fiftieth day of the resumed war.

  • The hatred of Israel is growing, and it is easy to see Israel standing alone. (Note: The nations will abandon Israel, but God will not, and that will eventually lead to the nation accepting Jesus as the Messiah.)
  • The Houthis in Yemen promised not to attack Russian and Chinese ships in the Red Sea.

Saturday, Jan. 20, 2024 (Day 106): The fifty-first day of the resumed war.

  • Israeli Jets destroyed a building in Damascus, Syria, that killed five Iranian advisors. Iran said it reserves the right to respond at the appropriate time and place.
  • There were more attacks in Lebanon, Iraq, and the Red Sea.
  • There was a massive attack on an airbase in Iraq where hundreds of U.S. troops are stationed. Several U.S. troops were injured.
  • Israeli troops have discovered a deadly fungus in the Hamas tunnels for which there is no treatment. Some of the hostages have probably been exposed. It is believed to have caused the death of one Israeli soldier.
  • Hamas now says it will release the hostages for an end to the war and Israel’s complete withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.
  • About 860,000 Israelis have left their homes in northern Israel.
  • Biden’s response to the Houthis attacks on ships in the Red Sea has accomplished nothing, so he plans to step it up a little.

Sunday, Jan. 21, 2024 (Day 107): The fifty-second day of the resumed war.

  • An unverified report says more than 25,000 Gazans have been killed, more than 62,000 have been wounded, most of the 2.3 million Gazans displaced.
  • Israel discovered cages in tunnels that hostages had been kept in.
  • The U.S. said 2 Navy SEALs who went missing on Jan. 11, 2024, were on a mission to board a boat that was suspected of carrying illegal Iranian weapons, and they are presumed dead.

Monday, Jan. 22, 2024 (Day 108): The fifty-third day of the resumed war.

  • Israel proposed a 2-month pause in all fighting in exchange for the release of all hostages.
  • The EU plans to hold peace talks with the U.S., UN, Egypt, Jordan, and Arabs, and they are planning to threaten Israel if it refuses to engage them.
  • 21 Israeli soldiers were killed when an explosion caused the collapse of 2 buildings that they were in.
  • Hamas rejected the Two-State Solution and called for the destruction of Israel.
  • Israel launched a major attack on Hamas in Khan Younis and killed dozens of members of Yahya Sinwar’s home brigade. Israel believes Sinwar, some of his top assistants, and many troops may be holed up there, and it could take several days to flush them out.

Tuesday, Jan. 23, 2024 (Day 109): The fifty-fourth day of the resumed war.

  • Hezbollah fired 12 missiles at an Israeli Air Force control base, but damage was minimal.
  • There is progress but no final deal toward the release of the hostages and a month-long ceasefire in Gaza.
  • The Houthis gave the U.S. and UK staff 30 days to leave Yemen.

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.

Time To Pray :: By Nathele Graham

“This know also, that in the last days, perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away” (2 Timothy 3:1-5).

Paul wrote those words to a young man who was one of the first pastors. He needed guidance and needed to be aware of the troubles that he faced. The same problems plague pastors today, but many pastors seem to ignore Paul’s words. They forget that all Scripture is directly from the Holy Spirit. As we read these verses, it’s easy to think that they describe people who aren’t a part of Christ’s church. But Paul was writing to a Christian pastor, and the concerns were about happenings within the congregation.

You don’t have to look hard to see that we are living in the perilous time that Paul warned Timothy about. The English word “perilous” doesn’t sound too bad, but in truth, the Greek word chalepos is bad. It means hard to bear and painful. The only other place chalepos is used is to describe the demoniac in Gadara. What’s happening in the world today is very demonic, but sadly, the evil is spilling into our congregations.

In order to keep the collection plates full, many pastors compromise God’s truth. Most pastors like to preach about the joy of the Lord rather than repentance. God and sin are opposites, so you cannot turn to God unless you turn away from sin. There is no joy in sin, but many pastors are willing to compromise Biblical truth in order to keep collections up and pews filled.

The last church I attended was very non-Scriptural. The pastor spent more time quoting from his “favorite atheist” and rock and roll groups than teaching from Scripture. When he did try to teach Scripture, he was so far off base that it was pitiful. The Sunday school material was very “fluffy.” One lesson was about demons, and I hoped it would give good information. Sadly, the lesson likened demons to termites. I don’t know how many of you reading this have faced spiritual warfare, but believe me, it’s nothing like termites.

Paul was serious with Timothy not compromising God’s truth. “I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine” (2 Timothy 4:1-2).

If you are preaching a watered-down Gospel, or another Gospel not found in Scripture, or tickling ears, God will ultimately judge you. How many people have you led down the wrong path? How many will end up in Hell because you haven’t taught repentance? Think about it. Jesus Christ gave His life so that we can be forgiven from our sin. Since He knew just how bad sin is, any pastor who doesn’t preach about turning from sin needs to study Scripture.

It’s easy to blame the pastors, but every Christian has a responsibility to know Scripture. If you happen to be clinging to a denomination or listening to a pastor who isn’t Biblical, then you are part of the problem. Paul knew that a time would come when Scripture wouldn’t be honored and preaching wishy-washy sermons would be the only way to fill pews.

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables” (2 Timothy 4:3-4).

Are you a “Christian” who believes the fable of evolution? Do you believe the fable that God approves of two men or two women marrying? You need to study Scripture.

What’s wrong with this world? Why is it that abortion is a protected right, but it’s considered hate to stand up for the child that is being murdered? Why is it considered “hate speech” to speak against things that Scripture says is sin? Social media will block ministries that speak God’s truth, while there are numerous sites that glorify Satan.

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter. Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight” (Isaiah 5:20-21).

What is the driving force behind all of this upside-down craziness? Plain and simple, it’s Satan. Christians have been willingly silenced, so Satan is getting louder. As Paul wrote to Timothy, “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away” (2 Timothy 3:5).

There are some very outspoken pastors who stand firm upon the truth of Scripture. May God protect these men who honor God. If you attend a church where the pastor is Biblically sound, you are blessed.

God is real and is in the supernatural realm. Satan is also real and also supernatural. Most denominations deny the supernatural. They are so afraid of giving Satan any glory that they deny supernatural power, including the power of God. The Gospels give many accounts of demon possession, and Jesus told His disciples how to deal with them.

Once, a man brought his demon-possessed son to Jesus to be freed. Jesus had gone up a mountain with some of the disciples, so the remaining disciples tried to cast the demon from the young man. They failed. When Jesus saw that there was a problem, He took authority over the demon and cast it away. The disciples asked Jesus why they couldn’t cast the demon out. “And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing but by prayer and fasting” (Mark 9:29).

This tells us that there are various “kinds” of demons. It’s time to heed Jesus’ words. There are demonic spirits within our congregations, in our governments, in our schools, and in our neighborhoods. It’s time to stop denying the supernatural and turn to our all-powerful God of all creation. We need to fast and pray. It is a spiritual battle, and we are giving the victory to the enemy when we don’t trust God. Stand and fight with the supernatural power of God.

The spiritual battle is attacking our families. Men have given their God-ordained position away. They cannot love their wives as Christ loves His church because either they don’t bother to take a wife and just rely on fornication, or they’ve divorced and don’t live in the household. Women have taken the position of leadership in the home because being a wife and mother has become a job that isn’t respected, and many want to be the “man of the house.” Children are affected by this break in the family order. Instead of being raised by their parents, daycare, babysitters, step-parents, and schools are the authority in their lives. Satan is behind it all.

If we recognize that it’s a spiritual battle, we can then see the way to fight. We need spiritual weapons. “Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil” (Ephesians 6:11).

A soldier never enters battle without knowing how to use each piece of his battle gear. Christians need to know how to use God’s armor. “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).

Paul understood how important it is to be clad in God’s armor. He was attacked for his faith on many occasions, and the armor was important.

“Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked, and take the helmet o salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in bonds; that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak” (Ephesians 6:13-20).

Put on God’s armor, and don’t take it off.

It’s time to pray for all the saints. We all must be bold in our witness for Christ and have our spiritual armor securely in place.

God bless you all,

Nathele Graham
