Age of Devilish Deception

LAST DAYS OF LOT RETURNED

Children’s National Hospital in DC gives “gender-affirming” hysterectomies to children under age 16.

Austin (Texas) Independent School District urges K-12 Teachers to Take ‘LGBTQIA+’ Training. Corrupting the education system is a priority for destroying the US from within.

Arkansas: Circuit Court blocks ban on trans surgeries and puberty blockers for minors.

University of Washington: Despite ‘concerning’ transgender study, UW kept quiet because of positive coverage from mainstream media.

Georgia: SWAT team responds to Marjorie Taylor Greene’s home twice in two days due to false reports by those who hate her for her stance against transgendering children. Seriously, a SWAT team? And knowing there are false reports being made? Smells of harassment also by them.

Minnesota: Proposed standards ask teachers to make students’ agents of social change.’ It’s politically and ideologically biased, not academic. Of course, it promotes the gay/trans agenda.

Victoria, Australia: Failing to affirm a person’s chosen gender now illegal; Long jail terms and hefty fines imposed. Suppression Act bans praying or offering advice encouraging someone not to be homosexual. Makes it illegal for parents to stop children from taking puberty blockers (even though studies show side effects: infertility, organ failure, arrested cognitive development, osteoporosis, etc.).

INIQUITY SHALL ABOUND

Video: Democrat-run California: Los Angeles Mob ransacks 7-Eleven during street takeover.

Democrat-run Minnesota: Crime epidemic ‘far more disturbing’ than numbers show.

Democrat-run Seattle, Washington: Seattle Times columnist irks progressive readers with focus on soaring crime after govt defunded police. But “facts are facts.” Man beaten to death on Seattle busy street in broad daylight by serial criminal released from jail. Days earlier, a judge released Fulk without bail after his threat to kill a security officer and despite a history of assault and battery.

Mexico flies troops to Tijuana, busiest US border city, after armed gang attacks. They’re continuing attacks across the country. US State Dept Issues Kidnapping Advisory for Americans in Mexico.

Warning to the unaware: One of the signs Jesus gave that would portend His near return: “because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold” (Matthew 24:12).

LAST DAYS TRAITORS

Fmr. CIA chief Hayden agrees with journalist’s claim that today’s Republicans are world’s most ‘dangerous and contemptible’ group. Leftist ‘projection’ – blame others for what the Left is guilty of.

Democrats to conservatives: we hate you. Democrat politicians are engaging in eliminationist rhetoric, and it’s scary.

Election Interference: Zuckerberg Says Facebook Censored Hunter Biden Laptop Story After FBI Request.

Poll: 8 in 10 Say Laptop Cover-Up Changed Election. 78% of respondents say Trump would’ve won the 2020 election if voters had been given the truth about Hunter Biden’s laptop instead of being told it was “Russian disinformation.”

Build Back Broke: Natural Gas Hits 14-Year High Under Biden Regime.

Liberals Want to Defy US Constitution. Many on the left continue to attack our founding governmental document. New York Times article: two Ivy League law professors say Congress could “openly defy” the Constitution with the basic structure of government “decided by the present electorate…” “… this would make clear our ability to engage in the constant reinvention of our society under our own power…”

How tyrants and lunatics are enslaving Americans by redefining everything. Greatest and freest nation in history now almost completely controlled by lying, power-mad sociopaths with contempt for America, its history, Constitution, Judeo-Christian culture, and people. They’re successfully waging an insane Marxist revolution.

“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do” (John 8:44a).

France’s Minister of Interior Aims to Recruit 3,000 ‘Green Police’ Over So-called Human-Caused Climate Change. This follows EU bigwigs’ calls for creating a “Civil Protection Force” to fight climate change. Actually, it’s a ruse by Eurocrats to hoard even more power.

Emmanuel Macron warned French to be ready for “sacrifices” and “end of abundance” amid series of crises, including climate change.

God is in control of weather, not man on this 3rd rock from the sun: “He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.” See Job, chapter 37.

DELIBERATE BORDER DISORDER

4.9 Million Illegal Aliens Crossed US Border Since Biden Took Office. His regime is running ‘world’s epicenter’ of child trafficking due to open borders agenda.

China Working with Mexican Cartels to Get Fentanyl to US. Now they’re making it look like rainbow candy! They’re Killing Americans at ‘Record Rates’ using fake pills, hiding them in other drugs, any means to drive addiction, make money, and deliberately kill. Nearly 108,000 Americans died from drug overdoses in 2021. US Border Agents Seize 1.6 Million Fentanyl Pills In Big-Rig, Destined For US Cities.

New Yorkers, you’re on your own. Unless you’re a migrant. New York is rife with crime and instability while droves of migrants receive free healthcare coverage, food, other supplies, even free phones. The Biden border crisis has been devastating to border states. Earlier this summer, Texas’ frustrated governor began sending busloads of migrants to DC and New York City.

DELIBERATE PITTING OF NATION (ETHNIC) AGAINST NATION (ETHNIC)

WEATHER EVENTS

We keep hearing of once in 500, 1,000, even 1,200-year events. But it doesn’t make sense.  See this week’s Rapture Ready’s Nearing Midnight article by Todd Strandberg titled “More 1,000-Year Floods.”

6 rare ‘1,000-year’ rain events within a month? The report says,As climate change increases frequency and intensity of heavy rainfall events in the US, NOAA may soon update its thresholds for what constitutes a 1,000-year rain event.

Increasing in intensity and frequency? Where have we heard that before? Jesus gave the signs that would converge and increase in frequency and intensity (birth pains) as His near return approached. “All these are the beginning of birth pains [sorrows]” (Matthew 24:8). God is in control!

HATRED OF JEWS AND ISRAEL

‘ABC News’ Falsely Blames Israeli Airstrikes for All Gaza Fatalities during the recent outbreak of fighting. However, most were killed by Islamic Jihad rockets that went off course. Other lamestream media downplayed Islamic Jihad’s involvement.

ISLAMIC TERRORISM

Afghanistan: Former US Marine speaks out about Kabul Airport blast that killed 13 American service members a year ago. The suicide bomber was spotted for two days until the blast, but the military wasn’t allowed to kill him. There was even a countdown in the hour before the blast. The Taliban laughed afterward.

WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS

US military launched second set of strikes against Iranian-backed fighters in Syria less than 24 hours in direct response to attack on a compound housing US troops. Three US service members were injured.

US Alerts Americans Still in Ukraine to ‘Leave Immediately’ Ahead of Expanded Russian Strikes.

Netanyahu said signing new Iran nuclear deal is madness, even worse than the first one; it will pave Iran’s path with gold to a nuclear arsenal. US Senator Ted Cruz said the nuclear deal is designed to let the Ayatollah cheat his way to a nuclear arsenal.

The world is leaving Israel on its own against Iran. This doesn’t surprise those who study Bible prophecy. A few nations (Ezekiel 38:13) will question the Russian-Arab coalition’s invasion but will do nothing to help Israel (Ezekiel 38:13). God alone will destroy the vast army of invaders. He will use this to turn Israel back to Him during the Tribulation. “Surely it is coming, and it shall be done,’ says the Lord God. ‘This is the day of which I have spoken'” (Ezekiel 39:8).

DEMONIC DELUSION

Congress Says UFOs Not ‘Man-Made,’ Says ‘Threats’ Increasing ‘Exponentially.’ Those who’ve heard the gospel of Christ and rejected it will be sent a strong delusion in the Tribulation so that they would believe the lie. Given the strong promotion these days of UFO threats, this seems likely to be part of the delusion. Read 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12.

The Thessalonians were worried by false reports that they’d missed the rapture. Paul explained to them:

“Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him [the rapture], That ye be not soon shaken in mind… that the day of Christ is at hand [the Tribulation] … for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition … Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

“For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way [removal of the restraining power of the Holy Spirit, also believers in Christ as Savior since they have the Holy Spirit in them]. And then shall that Wicked be revealed … 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. 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.”

 

America Is Not Exempt From Judgment :: By Grant Phillips

As I’ve heard David Reagan say so often, “God does not wrap Himself in the American flag.” He is simply saying, along with the apostle Peter, “… “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality” (Acts 10:34).

We, as a society, think we can do or say anything we want and never have to pay the piper. Most in our society either do not believe in God or think we are so special that God would not dare judge us.

Is God really just a big teddy bear up in Heaven that winks at sin? Is He really so impressed by us that He would consider us an exception and just hold His nose while He gives us a big hug? I personally feel we are under judgment now, and I’ll explain why I believe that later on in this article.

First of all, I would like for us to consider a few judgments by God upon others in the past and the future. These are in no particular order.

PAST JUDGMENTS

God’s Judgment in the Garden of Eden:

Adam and Eve listened to the serpent and disobeyed God, then sin entered us and had to be judged. Judgment was handed down by God upon them and their progeny, and judgment was also pronounced upon the serpent. Read chapter three of Genesis.

God’s Judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah:

Sodom and Gomorrah were extremely wicked in every respect, much like us, by the way. Jesus’ half-brother said of them and the surrounding cities of that day the following:

“In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire” (Jude 7).

The account of their destruction is recorded in Genesis 19:23-29. Only Lot and his daughters survived.

God’s Judgment on Those in Noah’s Day:

Well, here is another group of people, much like us, who refused to repent of their evil devices. They ignored Noah’s warnings and became more and more evil. Their judgment is recorded in Genesis 6:1-8; 7. Only Noah and his family survived. Everyone else drowned by a worldwide flood.

God’s Judgment on Egypt:

Because of the Pharoah’s arrogance, the people suffered, and the Egyptian army was drowned in the Red Sea. See Exodus 14:26-28.

God’s Judgment on Israel:

The northern kingdom, called Israel at that time, had turned its back on God and was taken captive by the Assyrians in 722 B.C. Out of 19 kings, they were all bad, from Jeroboam I to Hoshea, a period from 931 B.C. to 721 B.C. You can read about their judgment by Assyria in 2 Kings.

God’s Judgment on Judah:

In the book of Daniel, we can get a first-hand look at Judah, the southern kingdom, following its captivity by the Babylonians from 607-586 B.C. Out of twenty kings, from 931 B.C. to 586 B.C., there were only eight that could be called “good.”

God’s Judgment on Babylon:

In 539 B.C., God allowed the Persians to capture Babylon to punish them for taking Judah captive. In Daniel 5, we can see the beginning of Babylon’s fall.

God’s Judgment on all Israel for Rejecting their Messiah:

In 70 A.D., Israel’s temple was destroyed and the people scattered to the four winds. Luke 19:43-44 gives us the reason for their judgment.

FUTURE JUDGMENTS

God’s Judgment and Reconciliation for Israel During the Tribulation:

Note Ezekiel 20:36-38; Romans 11:26; Revelation 6ff. (I will repeat this judgment at the end.) In Daniel 9:20-27, we are told of 483 years and then the additional seven years remaining, which will comprise the Tribulation.

God’s Judgment of the Gentiles at His 2nd Coming:

Read Matthew 25:31-46. There will be three classes of people at this judgment: sheep (saved Gentiles), goats (unsaved Gentiles), and brothers (the people of Israel).

God’s Judgment of Fallen Angels at the End of the Millennium:

Please see Jude 6.

God’s Judgment of the Wicked Dead at Great White Throne After Millennium:

Read Revelation 20:11-15.

God’s Judgment on Gog and Magog:

See Ezekiel 38 – 39.

God’s Judgment of Satan:

See Revelation 20:7-10.

Obviously, this is not an exhaustive list, but it is clear that the Almighty God we serve will not hesitate to administer judgment upon individuals and nations that refuse to repent. Someone may say, “My God is a God of love!” I must reply that God is a God of love, and He is also holy. He cannot condone sin, and there are no exceptions.

“Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him” (Acts 10:34-35).

The United States of America was once a God-fearing country. Today every area of our society is so deep in sin that we are now a carbon-copy of those in Noah’s day and those in the days of Lot. Our government is totally corrupt, steeped in pride and greed, and hates anything associated with a holy God. Along with the politicians, the entertainment industry in our nation is perverse and laughs in the face of Almighty God, as the world of business robs from the people and thumbs their nose at God. Even most of the churches have been taken over by false prophets, perversion and apostasy, and are leading people by the millions straight to hell.

What has happened to us, a country that at the very least once showed the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob respect and recognized the Son of God as the only way to the Father?

As did Ephesus, we lost our first love and turned our back on God. In our pride, we have sunk to the lowest depth of Satan’s sewers. We removed God from every aspect of our society and have never looked back since at least 1963, when we chose to remove Him from our schools.

As I said earlier, I believe we are already under judgment, for Romans 1:24-25 says that God gave us over to sinful desires. Romans 1:26-27 says God gave us over to shameful lusts, and Romans 1:28-32 say God finally gave us over to a depraved mind. In other words, God backed away and gave us what we wanted, and now we are reaping what we have sown.

Yes, God is love, and He proved it at the cross, but He doesn’t save anyone by His love. He saves all who will come to Him by His grace (Ephesians 2:8-9).

God’s Judgment at the Cross of Calvary:

The greatest judgment of God was upon Jesus Christ at Golgotha (Calvary). On that cross, Jesus took our sins upon Himself and died for us so that all who come to Him will be saved from wrath. Please read John 12:30-33.

Self-Judgment During the Church Age:

Every person who comes to Jesus and asks Him to save them will be saved and never face judgment because Jesus paid the price for us that we could never pay.

1 Corinthians 11:27-32 tells us, as true followers of Christ, to judge ourselves so as not to bring any disrespect upon our Lord. Also, we learn of Him and serve Him in whatever way He leads us. In turn, there is another judgment.

God’s Judgment of the Believers Works After the Rapture:

2 Corinthians 5:10 and 1 Corinthians 3:12-15 promise that Jesus will judge the works of every believer, not sins, but works. He paid our sin debt at the cross, but this judgment is to reward us for serving Him.

Even though our country has placed itself in God’s crosshairs, as did the Pharoah of Egypt and so many others, we must stay true to God’s Word.

There is another judgment that many will face.

God’s Judgment During the Tribulation (Repeated):

The Church will not be here for the Tribulation (1 Thessalonians 1:10; 5:9). We will be in Heaven with Jesus, preparing for the greatest wedding of all. All who have rejected Jesus will remain upon the earth to suffer through God’s wrath (Revelation 6:17), a time so terrible that all mankind would die if not for His grace (Mark 13:20).

In my opinion, our once great country has crossed the line, and there is nothing remaining but the judgment of God. We are in the last days just prior to the Tribulation, and the only thing the Bible says about this time period is that it will get worse and worse until the Church is first removed, and then the Tribulation will begin.

Our leaders and the majority of our populace want nothing to do with God, but the good news is that any who are willing can come to Jesus right now and be saved from the wrath to come. How do you avoid the Tribulation? Call upon Jesus now.

Out of the list of judgments I have mentioned above, how can we be so naïve in thinking we are exempt simply because we are the United States of America? We are not exempt. Do we not realize that God has waited two thousand years in order to give the world plenty of time to repent?

“The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light” (Romans 13:12).
