Heathen Having a Field Day… for Now

APOSTASY AND DOCTRINES OF DEMONS

Convergence of signs cry out that Jesus is coming soon, but so few are paying attention.

Demonic delusion: NASA reveals latest weapon to ‘search the heavens’ for UFOs, aliens. Artificial intelligence and machine learning will be “essential” to finding and proving existence of extraterrestrial life and UFOs, NASA said.

Global warming/aka climate change agenda: a ruse for Godless global governance. The Council of the Dutch City of Haarlem is making moves to ban meat advertisements.

UK: Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs pledged UK’s full support of the globalist goblins’ 7-year plan to meet so-called sustainable development goals.

Islam: Sharia Advancing in America. A prominent financial institution in Maine has become the first bank in the state to offer Islamic interest-free mortgage plans, aligning its services with principles of Sharia banking. Islamic banking/Sharia banking has gradually gained traction in Western countries, with the UK leading the way. Once an Islamic state is established, certain Quranic verses (e.g., 9:29) and Sharia (o9.8) mandate that Muslims are obligated to engage in combat against Jews and Christians who refuse to convert or accept a subordinate status.

PERVASIVE PERVERSION

1/3 of children put on puberty blockers saw mental health ‘reliably deteriorate,’ UK researchers find.

Biden’s health department wants to erase “father” and “mother” from childcare law. It would also erase “paternity,” and “his” and “her” from childcare-related laws.

Federal judge strikes down Texas law that banned minors from ‘sexualized performances’ including drag shows in the presence of a minor.

Female daycare worker identifying as male is sentenced to prison after sexually exploiting children in her care. She used her access to vulnerable children to create and distribute child pornography. The DOJ press release lied by saying she is a man.

Cleveland bishop’s new LGBT student policy attacked by Democrat mayor and some Catholics. The policy, which applies to elementary schools and high schools in the diocese, bans preferred pronouns; requires students/staff to use correct bathrooms; sports or activities corresponding with biological sex, and prohibits same-sex student couples from attending school dances together or publicly displaying sexual attraction, etc. Several Cleveland Catholic schools appeared to distance themselves from the policy. Cleveland’s Mayor Justin Bibb criticized the policy and said, “As a Christian, the Diocese’s policy is a shocking betrayal of the church teachings that have shaped who I am today.” [Say what?! Not to defend Catholicism by any means, but there’s nothing biblically wrong with this particular policy. Bibb claims he was raised in Baptist churches. Obviously, apostate ones.]

AND THE ABORTION ABOMINATION

Group plants pro-abortion billboards along Interstate 55. One says, “God’s plan includes abortion.” The group ‘Shout Your Abortion’ placed billboards in states that have outlawed or limited abortions. I-55 carries tens of thousands of abortion seekers from southern states to Illinois, where abortion is legal.

INIQUITY SHALL ABOUND

Federally funded Maine high school clinic secretly gives girl baggy containing anti-depressant drug with serious side effects; calls child protective services on her father for complaining.

You reap what you sow. Target to shutter nine stores in major [liberal] cities after being targeted by violence, theft. 1 in Harlem, 2 in Seattle, 3 in San Francisco-Oakland Bay Area, and 3 more in Portland.

Murder crisis plagues DC as mayor begs for more officers after ‘defunding police.’

WEATHER EVENTS

Tropical Storm “Ophelia” made landfall in North Carolina, causing major flash floods. The storm lost wind intensity upon moving over land but brought drenching rain from eastern North Carolina to southern New Hampshire last week. The remnants of Ophelia caused flooding in the Northeast late this week and a state of emergency to be declared in New York and New Jersey.

Major cold trend set to possibly unleash ‘frost-freeze’ threat across Eastern US the 2nd week in October. We survived the apparent ‘climate apocalypse’ corporate media warned about this summer with endless headlines about how the world would imminently erupt into a giant fireball. The climate math pushed by media minions was so questionable that the N0AA had to denounce the ‘hysteria’ about the “hottest day ever.” By late August, 1,600 scientists signed a declaration refuting existence of a climate crisis. The climate is constantly changing, and the global warming narrative is imploding as even climate alarmist Bill Gates had to backtrack on his ‘climate doom’ prophecies recently.

Disastrous floods in South Africa’s Western Cape: multiple fatalities, thousands of evacuations, and significant infrastructure damage.

Heavy rain caused El Naranjo River to burst near Guatemala City in Mexico; at least 6 killed, 12 missing.

Mexico’s Jalisco hit by deadly flash floods: 8 confirmed deaths, 3 missing, significant property damage.

Storm Elias causes second wave of severe flooding in Central Greece. The two storms, Daniel and Elias, struck central Greece and the island of Evia over three weeks, the first leaving 16 dead, killing several hundred thousand farm animals and damaging highways, secondary roads and the rail network.

Storm Agnes this week brought 70mph gusts, heavy rain to Britain and Ireland. A danger-to-life warning was issued.

PLAGUE, PESTILENCE, AND THE PLANNED-DEMIC

More fearmongering and possible nefarious plans: What is Disease X? UK scientists are working on a vaccine for a future new pandemic they say will occur when, not if, and spread worldwide, “as infectious as measles with the fatality rate of Ebola,” 20 times more deadly than Covid. They’ve put together a threat list of animal viruses capable of infecting humans. It isn’t known which of them will break through and trigger the next pandemic, so it’s referred to as “Disease X.”

EZEKIEL 38-39 FULFILLMENT ONE STEP CLOSER?

‘Peace’ Agreement between Saudia Arabia and Israel, etc. [As we know, Ezekiel 38 speaks of Saudi Arabia as not being one of the countries that will attack Israel; Saudi Arabia will only question the motives of the invaders.] Israel’s Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said normalization with Saudi Arabia was “definitely possible,” pointing to the “historic statement” Saudi’s Crown Prince made “when he turned to the camera and said they’re reaching for a peace agreement.” Cohen said there are another six or seven Muslim countries that would likely join that peace agreement.

LAST DAYS TRAITORS

‘Join the communists’: Minneapolis to host ‘Marxist School.’ Advertisements are plastered throughout University of Minnesota-Twin Cities campus.

Biden administration awards $2 billion loan for Poland to modernize its army despite scandal showing squalid, grotesque conditions in some American military installations.

Destruction of the US is intentional. The commies began the operation decades ago. A KGB defector (in 1984) described the Soviets’ four-part plan to conquer the US without firing a shot. Watching Yuri Bezmenov lay out the communists’ plan to take over the US — and understanding how close the plan is to being successful — may be the most important seven minutes of your life.

Trump supporter Mike Lindell, who is also a Christian, says his My Pillow business is hurting due to Leftist companies trying to destroy him.

DELIBERATE BORDER DISORDER

Biden officials cut razor wire on southern border: ‘opening the floodgates to illegal immigrants.’

Biden’s Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) is reportedly planning to give photo id cards to border crossers and illegal aliens before they’re released into the US.

French journalist/politician Damien Rieu suggested possibility of criminal mafias coordinating the illegal invasion or even involvement of foreign powers with aim of destabilizing Europe.

COMING ONE-WORLD TOTALITARIAN GOVERNMENT

During “2023’s SDG Summit of the Future” last week, global leaders “adopted a sweeping Declaration,” committing themselves to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals within the next 7 years. Next year’s summit will be titled “Pact for the Future.” UN openly admits one of the purposes of “the Summit of the Future”: to “put in place a stronger international response playbook for complex global shocks, maximizing the use of the Secretary-General’s convening power in the form of an Emergency Platform.” Essentially, if there’s any sort of major “global shock,” the UN will be given authority “to ensure there is a unified, global response to the crisis.”

Control of Buying and Selling: International Monetary Fund seeks to develop global platform for central bank-controlled digital currencies.

CONCLUDING SCRIPTURE

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap” (Galatians 6:7).

Despite the judgments that will occur during the tribulation, many will not repent and turn to Christ (Revelation 9:20-21).

“Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself” (Philippians 3:17-21).

Archaeology comes through again!

One of many iconic accounts from the Bible, going back to the very edges of antiquity, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah is a cautionary tale.

But it is something else, too: a real event in time. I’m always fascinated by skeptics that claim the Bible is myth, or full of contradictions.

It’s neither, but at least in the realm of myth, archaeology helps us answer these unfounded charges. It then becomes a faith-strengthening opportunity.

Now, the region where this biblical disaster happened is a very unforgiving place. Almost a moonscape, near the Dead Sea, and straddling the modern states of Jordan and Israel. (I’ve been to Masada several times, but only once in the summer! The heat can reach dangerous levels.)

Here is an exciting account of research there, per the Jerusalem Post:

Biblical sin city Sodom destroyed by asteroid stronger than nuke – expert

Excavations in Jordan offer compelling evidence for the authenticity of the biblical tale of the destruction of Sodom, but by an asteroid impact, says theologian Dr. John Bergsma.

A theologian is pointing to excavations in Jordan, uncovering what the Post refers to as one of the Bible’s “most improbable narratives.” Hint: Media doesn’t believe it.

“Bergsma asserts that archaeological findings in Jordan corroborate the existence of the biblical city of Sodom. Prior research had already indicated that the ancient city of Tell el-Hammam, located in the southern Jordan Valley, suffered a catastrophic fate—a revelation that Dr. John Bergsma, a theology professor at Ohio’s Franciscan University, believes aligns with the biblical account.

“As per the Book of Genesis, God unleashed brimstone and fire upon the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah in response to the sins of their inhabitants, resulting in their complete obliteration. Similar destruction patterns were uncovered at Tell el-Hammam, leading Bergsma to reevaluate the credibility of the biblical narrative. He pointed to signs of extreme heat detected on skeletons and pottery fragments unearthed by archaeologists, suggesting a possible impact from an asteroid.”

If it is Sodom, we must keep in mind that even if someone acknowledges a biblical account is true, there is a tendency to find more naturalistic causes for the destruction that in reality came straight from God. As we read in Genesis 19:28—

“And he looked over the face of Sodom and Gomorrah and over the entire face of the land of the plain, and he saw, and behold, the smoke of the earth had risen like the smoke of a furnace.”

By the way, it’s interesting that even secular scholars and archaeologists usually date ancient Near East cities and other sites at around 4000 B.C. for the earliest inhabitants. This of course corresponds to biblical chronologies, and not to the purely evolutionary dates that emerge from the mists of time, often stretching back hundreds of thousands of years. These great ages are assigned because evolution demands it, with the progression of hominids into modern humans. So when it’s acknowledged that an ancient city state began less than 5,000 years ago…that in itself is confirmation of the biblical timelines.

Located not far from Jericho (considered today to the be oldest continuously inhabited city in the world), Tell el-Hammam puzzles researchers because it ceased to exist suddenly. No siege works are present in excavations, so the fact that the city was destroyed very quickly lends credence to the biblical account of the cosmic/divine destruction.

“Bergsma received insight into some remarkable discoveries from Steven Collins, the chief archaeologist at Tell el-Hammam. Among these discoveries were pottery shards coated with trinitite, a glassy substance formed when an atomic bomb detonates in a desert, as Bergsma explained. Additionally, human remains were uncovered, with skeletons intact up to the mid-spine, above which only scorch marks remained. These findings provide substantial evidence that a tremendous burst of heat from the sky incinerated the twin cities on the Jordanian side of the river.”

I’m not particularly interested in the asteroid hypothesis, because it tends to minimize the direct hand of the Lord, but if that is the method He used, fine. The point here is, there is “concrete” evidence for the destruction of the cities of the plain, as described in Genesis.

Besides the prophecies being fulfilled at an astonishing rate, this is also another Golden Age of archaeology in the region, as a new discovery routinely affirms Scripture.
