DELIBERATE DESTRUCTION BY DEVIANT DEMAGOGUES

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil…” (Isaiah 5:20).

Apostasy; Doctrines of Demons

‘Mother Earth’ (Gaia false goddess) Religion of Global Warming aka Climate Change (also ruse for global governance). New York City Electric Garbage Trucks “Conked Out” Plowing Snow After Just Four Hours.

Geoengineering: Man Playing gods. Climate Startup’s Rogue Plan to Manipulate Weather is Horrifying Scientists. Make Sunsets says it’s launched weather balloons containing sulfur dioxide particles into the stratosphere in an attempt to manipulate the climate. Spraying sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere directly puts humanity at risk by disrupting the ozone layer, potentially leading to acid rain and causing respiratory disease. Meanwhile, the White House is funding its own five-year research plan into geoengineering, a highly controversial proposal to reverse (so-called) climate change.

False religion of Hinduism: Christians flee into forest after Hindu mobs vandalize homes, churches for refusing to re-convert.

False religion of Islam: Hamas official Al-Zahar vowed “Palestine” will be liberated, and after “Battle of the Promise of the Hereafter,” there’ll be no Zionism or “treacherous Christianity.” Also see Christian Persecution in Africa Grew More Intense, Widespread in 2022, especially Somalia and Nigeria, where Islamist gangs wiped out entire villages, and Christian farmers were attacked by Fulani herdsmen.

In Italy, Muslim Mob Stopped Police from Shutting Down Illegal Mosque in December. A bailiff and police attempted to take back a garage used as a mosque after the property’s owner refused to renew the contract due to money owed. Italy’s deputy prime minister said, “If I illegally occupied a shop or an apartment for 1 ½ years, the public force would ask me to leave. It works like this in any civil country, Italian or foreign.” Similar scenes have been seen elsewhere in Europe. Examples: France in 2017; Muslims took to the streets to protest an attempt to remove them from a building they’d occupied and used as a mosque. A radical mosque in Marseilles ordered to close several times over the last five years simply ignored authorities.

And the Abortion Abomination

Biden Regime Trying to Force Christian Doctors to Kill Babies in Abortions. Fresh from a defeat in court over the administrative rule attempting to require Christian doctors and nurses to perform or promote abortions, now their attempting to repeal a pro-life rule that President Trump implemented in 2019 to ensure the conscience rights of such medical professions are respected.

Last Days Traitors

Your Government Hates You. One example of many: “[US Omnibus bill] contains billions in spending on ridiculous political pet projects” (see list in article). Your tax dollars at work. It’s also an ear-piercing signal that the end is nigh. If you work hard, pay your own way, believe in free speech and traditional values, and fear God – your government, the dirty cadre of elites and insiders – hates you.

National Guard informed troops last paycheck before Christmas would be late, as Biden regime sends billions to Ukraine.

WATCH: Biden Looked Dazed and Confused when signing so-called Inflation Reduction Bill handed to him in August. The bill that was passed says it all. Instead of reducing inflation, it actually raises taxes by $450 billion over the next decade; it also creates a $78.9 billion slush fund for the IRS. This is a determined effort to strangle middle-income earners even more. America is now run by a shadow government – bureaucrats pushing laws and regulations with the aim of destroying America from within.

And the Orwellian Surveillance Society

Democrats released several years of Trump’s tax returns on Friday. Republicans, who’ll take over the House next week, say Democrats are setting a dangerous precedent where in the future, no one will be safe from having their returns disclosed to the public.

Infrastructure of Antichrist: Living in The Age of Surveillance. “Smart” devices and other technologies watch every move we make. And smart devices listen to everything we say.

WEF To Accelerate Push for ‘Metaverse’ Surveillance Network at Davos 2023. It’s a lot more than an alleged 3D virtual reality space using avatars. For forces of technocratic tyranny, a Metaverse-adopting society can make it much easier for governments to track movement, behaviors, and activities of its citizens. WEF is the chief coalition builder for what amounts to the modern depopulation movement. They’ve partnered with Big Tech, central bankers, governmental and international organizations to facilitate their feudalistic vision, which involves deliberately rolling back human progress, innovation, and flourishing under the guise of saving the planet from a “climate emergency.”

And The Left’s Deceived Pawns

“Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived” (2 Timothy 3:12-13).

[Many/Most] Liberals Learned Nothing In 2022. Liberal left Washington Post is confident next year will be much happier, at least for Democrats. It published “15 Reasons You Should be Hopeful for 2023.” It should’ve been called ­ “liberals have learned nothing in the Biden era.” More Americans are finally recognizing that this federal government is the most dangerous threat to their rights and ­liberties. But many appear to still be deceived, or else they don’t care because they think they’ll continue receiving free stuff, no strings attached. When they realize they’ve been had, it’ll be too late.

And the Deliberate Pitting of Nation (Ethnic) Against Nation (Ethnic)

Students Speak Out on Anti-White, Anti-Christian, Anti-American Culture at Florida University. At the core of students’ struggle is the university’s glorification of CRT, a Marxist-derived ideology that substitutes race or gender for class struggle.

And the Deliberate Border Disorder

Gag Order: Biden Regime Bars Border Officials from Sharing Data on Migrant Crisis.

Arizona border patrol agents stopped over 1.2 million fentanyl pills and four pounds of fentanyl powder from entering the US on Wednesday.

Plague, Pestilence…

And more on the Drug Plague: California Lawmaker Introduces Bill to Legalize Magic Mushrooms, Other Psychedelics. The National Institute on Drug Abuse says hallucinogens “can cause users to see images, hear sounds, and feel sensations that seem real but don’t exist.” Effects of psychedelics generally begin within 20 to 90 minutes and can last up to 12 hours in some cases.

After COVID, flu, and RSV, is a strep outbreak next? At least 94 people in the UK, including 24 children, have died from strep A complications. “… We’ve never seen a peak like this at this time of year…” said microbiologist Shiranee Sriskandan. France, Ireland, Netherlands, and Sweden have also observed strep A increases in the past few months. Dr. Andrew Pekosz, virologist, says it’s too soon to say if the US will see a “large strep A outbreak.” He warned it could be a problem if we see a rise in strep A at the same time we’re contending with a viral “tripledemic.”

…And the Planned-demic

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) called for a grand jury investigation into alleged “crimes and wrongdoing” related to COVID vaccines and will set up Florida’s own Public Health Integrity Committee. Under the governor’s new actions, the Surgeon General will also conduct “autopsy surveillance” by investigating “sudden deaths” in those who received the COVID vaccine.

Canadian Government Told Kids They’d Be on Santa’s ‘Naughty List’ Without COVID Vaccine & Masks. Adults were told they wouldn’t make the “nice list” if they don’t have their boosters.

World Council for Health co-founder and member of the Council’s Steering Committee called for a halt to Covid injections 18 months ago. Dr. Tess Lawrie wrote the following to MHRA Chief Executive June Raine: “An immediate halt to the vaccination program is required while a full and independent safety analysis is undertaken to investigate the full extent of the harms …. There is now more than enough evidence on the [UK] Yellow Card system to declare the Covid vaccines unsafe for use in humans. Preparation should be made to scale up humanitarian efforts to assist those harmed by the Covid vaccines and to anticipate and ameliorate medium to longer-term effects.”

Weather Events

Blizzard Death Toll in Buffalo, NY Rises as National Guard Goes Door-to-Door Searching for Additional Victims. In western New York’s deadliest storm in 50 years, the death toll is 37 so far (update: now 39 as of Friday). National Guard and other authorities are performing home wellness checks, bracing for an increase in the death toll (Buffalo received over 4 feet of snow). Nationwide, at least 60 (update: 63) people have died in weather-related incidents due to the blizzard.

At least 5 killed as deep, fast-moving storm hit Western US; extremely active weather pattern continues. The storm system brought flooding and landslides to California and Oregon.

Philippines: At least 29 fatalities, 25 missing due to severe floods caused by heavy rains.

Japan: Extremely heavy snow kills 17; at least 90 injured. Extremely heavy sea-effect snow has affected Japan since Dec. 14.

Assam, India: Nearly 4,500 homes damaged in rare hailstorm. Several schools were damaged as well, also crops in large areas of agricultural land.

Iniquity Shall Abound

Looters in Buffalo Have Taken Advantage While Police and First Responders Worked to Save Lives During Horrific Storm.

California: Riverside Deputy Killed by Released Felon; he’d still be alive if San Bernadino judge had done her job. Deputy Isaiah Cordero, 32, was murdered during a traffic stop. “This terrible tragedy should’ve been prevented by the legal system,” said Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco. “McKay has an extensive, violent past and was convicted of his third strike in Nov. 2021. That case involved kidnapping and assault with a deadly weapon. Instead of sentencing him to 25 years to life, which should’ve happened, the judge lowered his bail, allowing him to be released.”

Idaho murders: Suspect Bryan C. Kohberger has now been located and charged with killing 4 university students on Nov. 13.

New York Gov Frees 11-Year-Old Boy’s Killer. Over 3 million people in New York voted for his release. In Oct 1993, Travis Lilley was killed by a crackhead drug dealer’s bullet in a turf war as he attempted to go downstairs where his mother worked to bring her a piece of birthday cake. Gov. Hochul has decided to commute his killer’s sentence, noting that “Mr. Bryant has earned a…Degree, and…certification through an entrepreneurial training program.” And what is the life of a little boy dying in his grandfather’s arms worth compared to his killer’s entrepreneurial training program? Another inmate, also freed by Hochul, shot a man in the head at close range during a robbery in 1985.

MLB Hall Of Famer’s Homeless Adopted Daughter Arrested After Abandoning Newborn in Woods. Alexandra Eckersley, adopted daughter of Dennis Eckersley, called to report what she’d done. Responders found her intoxicated (likely from drugs). At first, she said she didn’t know exactly where the baby was, but an hour later pointed them to the site. The premature baby was taken to the hospital.

Wars and Rumors of Wars

China Sends Record 71 Warplanes Near Taiwan in Show of Force Aimed At US.

Putin Says He’s “Ready” to Negotiate End to Ukraine War, But West Wants to “Tear Apart” Russia. In an interview, Putin said, “We are ready to negotiate with everyone involved about acceptable solutions, but that is up to them – we are not the ones refusing to negotiate; they are.” Also, Putin continued his theme of the US and NATO waging a proxy war using Ukraine as a pawn. He said the West is attempting to “tear apart” Russia.

Ukraine Wants UN-Backed Peace Deal with Russia, But on One Condition. Ukraine’s Minister of Foreign Affairs said Russia could only be invited to such a summit if it faced a war crimes tribunal first. A day earlier, he said Ukraine would call for Russia to be removed as a permanent member of the UN Security Council due to its continued strikes against civilian infrastructure in its war against Ukraine. Russia’s Foreign Minister said Moscow’s proposals for “demilitarization” and “denazification” are known to Kyiv. Either Ukraine fulfills them, or the issue will be decided by Russia’s military.

Netanyahu’s Newly Appointed National Security Chief Wants Preemptive Strikes on Iran.

Peace, Peace, They Say, But There is No Peace

Netanyahu to freeze annexation for Saudi peace deal. Israel and Saudi Arabia already maintain covert relations on security matters, especially regarding Iran’s nuclear threat. But Israel’s PM Netanyahu is aiming to secure a peace deal with Saudi Arabia in exchange for sidelining an annexation plan for Judea and Samaria. Netanyahu said, “This is a very important goal because if we have peace with Saudi Arabia, we are effectively going to bring an end to the Arab-Israeli conflict.” It’s unclear how the Religious Zionism party, which campaigned heavily on a pro-settlement and pro-annexation platform, would react should Netanyahu break his promises to them in favor of peace with Saudi Arabia.

Good intentions or not, there will be no real peace until Jesus returns.

Concluding Scripture

“He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the Lord: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him” (Proverbs 14:2).

“The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts” (Psalm 10:4).

“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God” (Psalm 9:17).

The Great Buffalo Blizzard of 2022

I’ve often wondered why anyone would want to live in the Great Lakes, especially in the zones that receive lake-effect snow. When I lived in Nebraska, most major snows only delivered 4-6 inches. Here in Arkansas, we just wait a couple of days, and the snow will all melt away. About every third year, we don’t receive any accumulating snow during the winter season.

I remember the great Blizzard of 1977 – widely known as Buffalo’s worst storm of all time, at least prior to this month. That storm hit Western New York and Southern Ontario from January 28 to February 1, 1977.

The ’77 storm was so bad that many people thought they would never see one that was worse. “I’d be shocked if we got another storm to compare to the Blizzard of ’77 in my lifetime, in my kids’ lifetime, or even in their kids’ lifetime,” a National Weather Service meteorologist told the Buffalo News for their story five years ago. He called it a once-in-200-year weather event.

During the Blizzard of ’77, there were some areas that received over 100 inches of snow. Lake-effect snow can vary greatly because it is the result of winds drifting over the same location for a long period of time. Most areas in Buffalo only got a foot of snow. The huge drifts in the city were the result of winds of 46 mph with gusts up to 69 mph and 13 hours of whiteout conditions. The snow blew in from miles away.

Unlike in ’77, Lake Erie was not frozen over, so last week’s storm was able to dump massive amounts of snow on Buffalo. After already getting 4 feet of snow, another 22 inches had fallen on Friday, which was nearly double the previous one-day snowfall record.

More than 37 people are reported to have died in the region. The toll surpasses that of the historic Blizzard of 1977, blamed for killing as many as 29 people.

The dead were found in cars, homes, and snowbanks. Some perished while shoveling snow, others when emergency crews could not respond in time to medical crises. Poloncarz, a Democrat, called the blizzard “the worst storm probably in our lifetime,” even in an area known for heavy snow. More bodies are expected to be found as the snow is cleared or melts.

Hochul, a Democrat, noted the storm came a little over a month after the region was inundated with another historic snowfall. Between the two storms, snowfall totals are not far off from the 95.4 inches the area normally sees in an entire winter season.

Unlike the Blizzard of 1977, there has been a huge amount of looting in the Buffalo area. Several stores like Walmart, Dollar General, Louie’s Texas Red Hots, Rick’s Sports Apparel, the Broadway Market, a 7-Eleven, Family Dollar, and other Mom & Pop retail stores have been hit. Some stores were nearly picked clean of any merchandise of any major value.

Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia acknowledged during a press conference that officers had responded to several reports of looting and that arrests had been made.

“People who are out looting when people are losing their lives in this harsh winter storm is just absolutely reprehensible,” Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown said during the press conference. “I don’t know how these people can even live with themselves, how they can look at themselves in the mirror. They are the lowest of the low.”

The liberal media have absolutely ignored the looting in Buffalo. My best guess is that New York is a leftist state with a leftist governor, so they don’t want to highlight an embarrassment for people who share their same mindset.

In one news conference, Gov. Kathy Hochul and Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz were asked about the looting, and they would say only that a few incidents of looting have been confirmed. New York State Police Superintendent said at the same meeting, “We have had two confirmed reports of looting incidents where law enforcement has been dispatched and responded.”

The Great Buffalo Blizzard of 2022 ends a year with massive fires, a deadly hurricane in Florida, 1,000-year floods, and a major war in Europe. These are just some of the sighs that Jesus spoke as being the warning of the rapture’s nearness.

“And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows” (Matthew 24:4-8).

A Connecticut Yankee in King Jesus’ Court

Mark Twain (Samuel Langhorne Clemens), the late-nineteenth—early-twentieth-century humorist-writer, penned his famous A Connecticut Yankee in King Author’s Court. It was a fanciful play on the legend of Camelot and all involved in matters of King Arthur and his knights of the round table in ancient England.

The 1940s Hollywood film adaptation starring Bing Crosby by the same title was a much lighter-hearted portrayal than Twain’s book. While moments of humor dotted the book’s story, a dark, dystopian undercurrent permeated, projecting the author’s cynical, even fatalistic, view of the world.

In the film, the protagonist endures the morose evil of ancient European society while trying to improve that world with his advanced technological knowledge. In the end—and back in the future that is his own time—he lives happily (we suppose ever after) with the exact copy of the girl he fell in love with in that ancient dream-vision.

However, in the original story, his dream-vision carrying him throughout King Arthur’s kingdom with the king himself at his side ends with unfulfilled hope. The protagonist sees all he tried to accomplish back in time come to nothing. And, in his own time, he drifts into death toward an unknown hereafter.

The story, then, is really the author’s allegorical treatment of humanity going down a one-way road that, no matter the victories and even kindly intentions along the way, ends without fulfillment or hope. This, despite the famous author’s wit and humor, was the view Clemens—an agnostic, and some say an atheist—had: Life is without hope; it is without God.

Apart from God, there is no future “happily ever after,” only moments of imagined joy that are fading—they’re temporary and fleeting. At all times, there is a God-shaped void within the human soul that, through self-generated effort, can, at best, assuage the inner emptiness for a moment during our physical existence.

As believers who have the very essence of God dwelling in us, we can be joyful and blessed beyond measure, despite this increasingly darkening world. It is this oppressive, depressing, wicked world system that is the temporary, fleeting, sometimes nightmare-like occupation in this foreign land that believers will soon evacuate for a glorious future where joy never fades; rather, it builds in never-ending ecstasy.

As we come to the beginning of this new year, I again want to tell of another Connecticut Yankee–this one isn’t in a fictitious king’s court but in the court of the King of all kings.

Tom, of the Watchman River podcasts—a Connecticut resident—is the teacher who stations himself beside the Connecticut River and proclaims King Jesus on a daily basis.

Many of you now know about his efforts to simply and humbly lay out truth about God’s care for you and me—His absolute love for all of humanity.

Because our website is Rapture Ready, I’m especially eager to propose going to this podcast ministry hosted by Tom each and every day when possible.

We post his links to the daily programs on a regular basis so that God’s truth is a click away at any time.

Tom presents news of the day that is filled with likely prophetic significance. He especially brings in the pre-Trib Rapture and its nearness because of the exploding news items that are literally flashing the brilliant red alert of Jesus Christ’s coming intervention into this anti-God world system.

So I call my friend Tom a “Connecticut Yankee in King Jesus’ court.”

No matter where any believer lives, he or she is a member of King Jesus’ court.

Please understand that we aren’t merely “subjects” as believers during this Church Age. We are the Bride of the King of all kings. We are the very children of God the Father. We are joint heirs with King Jesus!

Can there be a more magnificent prospect than to be in this eternal kingdom and expecting Jesus’ any moment call for us to “Come up here!”? (Revelation 4:1).

Here is a link to one of Tom’s most recent programs in which he speaks in eloquently simple words about the King who is about to summon us into that realm where He’s been preparing our mansions for glory in eternity.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9tTacNEm14&t=12s

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also” (John 14:1-3).
