Stupid Is as Stupid Does :: By Daymond Duck

The phrase “Stupid is as stupid does” became famous in 1994 with a movie called Forrest Gump.

(Note: I do not like the word “stupid.” It sounds unchristian, but readers will understand it better than “A reprobate mind is as a reprobate mind does.”)

Most Bible prophecy teachers are aware that the World Health Organization (WHO) is drafting an International Pandemic Treaty and the WHO is asking for the Director-General to be empowered to declare public health emergencies and require global obedience to WHO policies.

Giving control of the healthcare of everyone on earth to one person will put all of us in great danger, but this week, it was reported that Pres. Biden said he will sign that treaty when it is released.

As I understand it, the International Pandemic Treaty is already several dozen pages long, it is almost finished but not finished yet, and Biden has already said he will sign it.

Why would he agree to sign a document that will impact the lives and healthcare of every American while it is still being changed?

Please excuse me for saying it, but “stupid is as stupid does.”

Consider what happened on Nov. 23, 2022.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), spent about 7 hours answering questions in a lawsuit filed by the Attorneys General in 2 states: Louisiana and Missouri.

During questioning, Fauci admitted that the idea of an economic lockdown of the U.S. came from Communist China.

Instead of obeying the Constitution of the U.S., Fauci decided to imitate Communist China, and that:

  • Caused billions of dollars of economic damage to the U.S.
  • Caused small business owners to lose their business.
  • Caused schools to shut down and students to stay home.
  • Caused a decline in Church attendance and some to not return.
  • Led to vaccination requirements that caused healthcare workers and others to be fired, military people to be dismissed, citizens to have adverse reactions including death, strokes, and other disabilities.
  • Led to treatments being forbidden (Ivermectin, etc.) that could have saved lives.
  • Led to people losing freedom of speech.
  • And more.

Fauci’s decision to imitate Communist China and ignore the laws of the U.S. shows the danger of putting too much power into the hands of one person.

Nevertheless, the International Pandemic Treaty is expected to empower one person to control the healthcare of everyone on earth, and one person called the Antichrist will rise over the New World Order.

The creation of a world government without the Lord God Jehovah is leading to major mistakes.

We are now being told we will own nothing and be happy and that those who cannot afford to eat traditional foods should learn to eat bugs and worms.

I will not say I will never get hungry enough to eat bugs and worms, but I will say that I find the thought repulsive.

I prefer that our nation change leaders and that the Church returns to God.

The following stories seem to indicate that we are getting close.

One, concerning reprobate minds: I recently reported that America’s national debt now exceeds $31 trillion, inflation is higher than it has been in about 40 years, America is running low on weapons for its military, America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserves are low, the lines at food banks are increasing, several major cities could run out of water next year, etc., and Biden’s State Dept. sent $20,600 to a cultural center in Ecuador to fund 12 Drag Queen shows, 3 gay workshops, and a short documentary.

On Nov. 27, 2022, it was reported that the Biden State Dept. has given $50,000 to promote transgender rights in India.

(My opinion: This continued support for unbiblical acts says a lot about the spiritual decline of America and the morals at our White House and State Dept.)

Two, concerning a departure from the faith and false teaching in the Church: on Nov. 27, 2022, it was reported that a speaker with a PhD degree told worshippers at a University of Cambridge chapel service that the spear wound in Jesus’ side (John 19:34) looks like a vagina.

According to the report, the speaker was implying that Jesus died with a trans body and may have been a transgender person.

Following several complaints, the Dean of the college defended the message.

(My opinion: Some PhD degrees are worthless, and divinity students would do well to avoid schools that support the teaching of false doctrines.)

(Another opinion: There has always been a departure from the faith and false teaching in the Church, but it is a growing problem, as prophesied in the Bible.)

Three, concerning world government: world leaders, including the Biden administration, are cooperating with godless men to determine what the coming world government will be like.

These godless men are destroying western democracy and replacing it with a demonic system that is shaping up like the rule of Antichrist.

They have come out in the open and are no longer hiding what they have been doing behind the scenes for decades.

An excellent video by The People’s Voice (8 min. and 51 sec.) allows viewers to hear World Economic Forum (WEF) leaders Klaus Schwab and Yuval Noah Harari make the following stupid statements (I apologize for the word “stupid,” but that is my honest opinion of what these 2 evil men have said). They said:

  • God is dead.
  • Jesus is fake news.
  • WEF leaders have acquired divine powers to rule over humanity (stupid).
  • The New One-World Religion has arrived, and it unites all of humanity in worshipping at the altar of climate science, techno-communism, and eugenics.
  • The WEF has been so successful in its plans that it is acquiring divine powers of creation and destruction.
  • The WEF is upgrading humans into gods.
  • If you read between the lines just a little, it’s clear the WEF is consciously attempting to supplant Jesus.
  • Humans do not have a soul; they are hackable animals that do not have the capacity of free will.
  • The World Economic Forum has spent decades quietly infiltrating democratically elected governments, penetrating cabinets, and wielding an outsized influence on the world from the corridors of Schwab’s Swiss hideout in Davos.

Here is a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLLyNzQylxg [Editor’s Note: When clicking on this link, a message comes up that says, “This video is no longer available because the YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated.”]

The WEF global reset is leading the world into depravity, death panels, depopulation, and total control of everyone on earth.

Four, concerning world government: on Nov. 25, 2022, it was reported that Klaus Schwab, head of the World Economic Forum (WEF), said, “We are moving toward global governance for the good of the planet. We need global cooperation to combat climate issues.”

Klaus Schwab was asked what global governance would look like, and he replied, “China.”

Five, concerning China: on Nov. 28, 2022, it was reported that massive protests have broken out in many Chinese cities (worse than any other in more than 30 years) over China’s Zero-Covid lockdown policy.

Waves of dissenters are protesting being locked in their houses for more than 3 months, the loss of work, food shortages, lack of medicine, and other grievances.

The police are using tear gas and batons, arresting demonstrators, and banning people on social media, but the protestors are fighting back, busting through barricades, wrestling with police, demanding the resignation of Pres. Xi, etc.

This should tell us something about the kind of world government the WEF wants for everyone on earth.

  • On Mar. 6, 2018, it was reported that China was evaluating a program that required every citizen to have a National ID number and a Social Credit Score.
  • Every citizen was being tracked, and their Social Credit Score went up or down based on what groups they belonged to, what they bought, what they read, the websites they browsed, what others said about them, etc.
  • A high Social Credit Score meant the person was a good citizen.
  • A low credit Social Credit Score meant the person was not a good citizen.
  • People with high Social Credit Scores were rewarded by letting them have better jobs, live in better houses, send their children to better schools, etc.
  • People with low Social Credit Scores were given low-paying jobs and poorer housing, their children were sent to poorer schools, etc.
  • How much a person earned, what they could buy and sell, etc., will be based on their loyalty to the government.
  • During the test, millions of citizens were blacklisted.
  • Now we learn that Klaus Schwab wants this for everyone on earth.

Six, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog: on Nov 23, 2022, it was reported that Israel’s presumptive Prime Min. Netanyahu said he will do everything in his power to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and the power to use them, even if it means straining Israeli ties with the U.S.

He added that if defending Israel against Iranian nuclear missiles means he must oppose U.S. policy, he will do it.

(Note: I have heard statements like this for so long that I am reluctant to write about it anymore, but I also believe that Netanyahu is more likely to follow through than his predecessors, and time is short.)

Seven, concerning hatred for the nation of Israel at the end of the age: on Nov. 23, 2022, terrorists exploded bombs at two locations (a crowded bus stop and at a bus station) that killed one student and injured scores of people.

Palestinian terrorists have used knives, guns, and car rammings to kill 29 people in Israel this year (many in Jerusalem), but this is the first time they have used bombs to kill and injure people in Jerusalem in nearly a decade.

Trump cut off funding to the Palestinians, but Biden has resumed it, and now terrorists are stepping up their violence.

It is disappointing that the U.S. is giving money to corrupt Palestinians that is being funneled to terrorists who are killing innocent Israeli men, women, and children, but it is a fact.

(More: On Nov. 27, 2022, it was reported that presumptive Israeli Prime Min. Benjamin Netanyahu has reached an agreement with other parties, and he will be able to establish a “right-wing government.” This government is expected to act with greater force against terrorism, to push harder for Jewish access to the Temple Mount, and to finally act against Iran’s efforts to get nuclear weapons even if the U.S. refuses to help.)

Eight, concerning God drawing the Jews back to Israel at the end of the age: on Nov. 18, 2022, it was reported that more than 61,000 people have immigrated to Israel this year (32,494 from Russia, 14,450 from Ukraine, 3,280 from North America, 1,957 from France, 1,750 from Belarus, 1,474 from Ethiopia, 1,000 from Argentina, 493 from the UK, 411 from South Africa, and others).

Nine, concerning the globalist desire to reduce the population of the earth: on Nov. 22, 2022, it was reported that Philippine leaders have rejected UN pressure to legalize abortion on demand, same-sex marriage, and divorce on the grounds that these things conflict with the nation’s values, religious beliefs, and cultural traditions.

According to the article, abortion is the number one cause of death worldwide (estimated to be between 42 to 73 million in the past year).

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.

A Strong Delusion :: By Nathele Graham

It’s coming. Whether you believe in the Harpazō or not, you will be affected by it. If you’ve accepted Christ for salvation, then you will be taken to Heaven to be with Jesus. However, if you’ve rejected Christ’s offer of salvation, you will face God’s wrath. Scripture is clear about the Rapture/Harpazō, but many who call themselves Christians haven’t a clue what it is. I’m sorry to say that pastors seldom teach about it, and the congregation sleeps in the pews, never opening their Bibles to read, let alone study God’s word.

The Rapture is our blessed hope. It’s a promise that those of us who have placed our faith in Jesus won’t face God’s wrath and judgment during the final seven years of history on earth. There is much written in Scripture about the Rapture, but there are various interpretations, and it can get confusing.

“Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” (2 Peter 1:20-21).

It’s always best to just believe what God says and not listen to man’s ideas.

Some pastors teach that there won’t be a Rapture. These same preachers are most likely in error on other clear Biblical truths. Most likely, they believe in Replacement Theology, which is the false belief that Christians have replaced the Jewish people in God’s heart. We haven’t replaced them: we have our own special place, and they have their special place. Then there is the ridiculous idea that Christians have to go through the Great Tribulation so that we can be purified. Really? That’s what Christ did for us. No human is sinless, and only the sinless blood of God can take our sin away. Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and, therefore, is fully God. He was also fully human because His mother, Mary, was human.

When the Apostle Paul was in Thessalonica, he taught them deep truth in a very short time. He was there for three weeks, and he not only taught them the truth of the Gospel but taught them about the Rapture. He also established a congregation there that was truly saved. They remembered his teaching about the Rapture, but they also saw tremendous persecution happening all around them. The Christians there forgot what had been taught to them and were concerned that they had missed the Rapture. Paul assured them they hadn’t missed it, then went on to explain the order of events. The Rapture is a fact.

“Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, that ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand” (2 Thessalonians 2:1-2).

Today, there are more and more people, even pastors, who deny the truth of the Rapture or else place it out of order when teaching on the end times. Christ will come for us before the events of the final seven years and before the Antichrist is revealed.

“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition” (2 Thessalonians 2:3).

The Greek word “apostasia” is translated “falling away,” and there is debate over what Paul meant. Did he mean there would be many people who believe false doctrine, or did he mean there would be a departure? This could actually mean both. There are many, many false doctrines being taught, and according to Paul’s letters to Timothy, this is a sign of the times. Pastors go to seminary and learn to question God’s truth, then come up with their own interpretation of Scripture, write books, and lead thousands upon thousands of people astray.

Paul could have also meant that the man of sin cannot be revealed as long as Christians are on earth. The Holy Spirit resides in us and restrains the totally evil man from being able to come into power. As Christians become more worldly, it’s easier for Satan to work his evil, and all things are falling into place for the Rapture first, then the seven years of tribulation.

No matter what exactly Paul had in mind, there are many signs that the Rapture is drawing near. Things are getting unbelievably wicked in the world, and Christians are going along with the worldly ways that lead to destruction. Shame on us for not standing firm on God’s truth.

The Apostle John wrote that we need to test spirits. “And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world” (1 John 4:3).

Brothers and sisters, study Scripture and prepare yourself to discern God’s truth from Satan’s lies. Then stand firm on the solid foundation of God’s truth.

Paul agreed with John. “For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming; even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved” (2 Thessalonians 2:7-10).

John had written that the “spirit of antichrist” was already in the world, and Paul said that the only thing that holds this evil in check is the Holy Spirit. Only God can restrain Satan. When Christians are Raptured, the man of sin will have free rein to deceive all who are left behind. The Holy Spirit will continue His work to draw the unsaved and reveal God’s truth to all who are left behind, but you’d be wise to listen to Him now. Satan is a liar and is able to deceive anyone who has rejected God’s truth.

When Jesus walked this earth, He did many miracles. He healed lepers, gave sight to the blind, fed thousands with a few fish and some bread, and many more wonderous signs. These were true miracles, but Satan has some power, too. Nothing like the power of God, but he will empower the man of sin to work “signs and lying wonders.” He will deceive the people left here. Jesus talked about this.

“But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive” (John 5:42-43).

If you don’t have the love of God in you, then you are open to the deceptive lies of Satan and the Antichrist.

God has done everything He can to bring everyone to salvation. He entered His creation and willingly allowed Himself to be crucified — the final sacrifice for our sin. He gave us Scripture, and there have been many Christians who share their faith. The Truth is available to anyone who seeks it. Unfortunately, many have rejected the truth. They will be left on earth to face the horrors of the Great Tribulation.

“And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness” (2 Thessalonians 2:11-12).

What’s the lie? There are many ideas about this. Some say that the lie is that UFOs are good and benevolent beings from a distant star system and that they have come to help humanity to live better. That is certainly a lie. As we draw nearer to the end of time, and Christians aren’t standing strong in their faith, we hear more about UFO sightings, and many people claim to have been abducted. These reports are too numerous to ignore and are something that Satan would do in order to bring fear and confusion.

Could the lie be that men think they are really women, and women think they are men? In his letter to the Romans, Paul goes into great detail about what happens when God is rejected as the Creator. A belief in the lie of evolution leads to sexual depravity. Jesus said that it would be incredibly wicked at the end.

“And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all” (Luke 17:26-29).

If you study what was happening during Noah’s time and Lot’s time, you will see very similar things that are happening today. You have to study Scripture. Most pastors don’t touch on this subject at all, and therefore many Christians haven’t any idea of what’s happening in the world around us.

Another delusion that will be strong is that the Antichrist is actually Jesus and worthy of worship. “And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast saying, Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” (Revelation 13:3-4).

This, of course, happens after the Rapture. Christians will be in Heaven with Jesus, but the Antichrist will be alive and well, deceiving those left behind and causing everyone to take his mark. When a person takes the mark of the beast, they can no longer be saved. The world is being prepared for the end times, so be very careful what you allow into your body.

God has given us all the information we need in order to avoid being deceived. We all have a choice. You need to study Scripture – really study and not just read it or believe everything the preacher says. Otherwise, you might find that you are believing things that God doesn’t say in Scripture. It’s easier to be deceived if you don’t have facts.

“These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so” (Acts 17:11).

Don’t be deceived or fall for any of Satan’s lies. It’s easy to be deceived if you don’t know truth. Study Scripture and don’t compromise God’s truth.

God bless you all,

Nathele Graham
