Like Never Before :: By Daymond Duck

Published on: by RR7 Category:Daymond Duck, General Articles

 

As I understand it, Jesus taught that there will be a generation that sees all the signs beginning to come to pass (Luke 21:28).

He was saying the generation that sees everything shaping up is to know that their redemption (deliverance; the completion of God’s plan) is drawing near.

Many prophecy teachers agree that the terminal generation signs are appearing like never before.

The following reports appear to back that up.

As you read these reports, realize that:

  • Never before have I heard of the IRS advertising for armed agents that are willing to kill U.S. citizens.
  • Never before has America had the depth of government corruption we appear to have today.
  • Never before has the FBI raided a former president’s home.
  • Never before have I heard of nations forcing farmers to use less fertilizer and grow less cattle during food shortages.
  • Never before have I heard of a global leader calling people useless without criticism.
  • Never before have I heard of school textbooks telling children to eat bugs and weeds.
  • Never before have globalists said people will own nothing and be happy.
  • Never before have I heard of schools telling students it is bad to call America a nation under God.

The reprobate minds that are promoting the globalist agenda are taking the world toward prophetic fulfillment and a time of tribulation like never before.

One, last week, I wrote that on Aug. 7, 2022, the U.S. Senate passed the $739 billion deceptively named “Inflation Reduction Act” (the Congressional Budget Office, hundreds of economists, a few Democrats, and every Republican says it will not reduce inflation).

The bill:

  • Contains no money for more troops to defend America.
  • Contains no money for more police to make America’s cities safer.
  • Contains no money to make America’s borders more secure.
  • Funds about 87,000 new IRS agents to track American citizens’ buying and selling.

This week, I want to add to that:

Four days later, on Aug. 11, 2022, the IRS posted a help wanted ad on USAjobs.gov.

Several things are causing concern about the IRS hiring 87,000 more agents.

  • One of the agents’ duties listed in the IRS help wanted ad is to “Carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force, if necessary.”
  • Another duty is, “Be willing and able to participate in arrests, execution of search warrants, and other dangerous assignments.”
  • In recent months, the IRS has bought several million rounds of ammunition for pistols, shotguns, and AR-15 rifles.
  • Many government officials support the World Economic Forum (WEF) that says, “You will own nothing and be happy.”
  • They want the government to own everything before 2030.
  • Many government officials want to disarm America’s citizens.
  • About 30 armed FBI agents recently raided former Pres. Trump’s home.

The concern is that the IRS is seeking to hire thousands of agents that will be heavily armed and willing to kill U.S. citizens; at the same time, some government officials want to disarm U.S. citizens; and the U.S. is supporting a group (the WEF) that wants to confiscate everyone’s property.

Is the government afraid U.S. citizens might fight to keep their homes, farms, and other possessions?

(Update: On Aug. 13, 2022, it was reported that the IRS had just deleted the help wanted ad seeking people to “carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force, if necessary.” I could have deleted the above but think voters need to know that the IRS wanted to hire people that would be willing to kill citizens.)

Two, concerning corruption: on Aug. 11, 2022, it was reported that Sen. Ron Johnson said, “We have a corrupt medical system in this country. From the pharmaceutical companies, down to the federal health agencies through to the research agencies and the medical journals.”

The corruption is in several layers of our government, and that is very troubling.

  • The Presidency of the U.S.
  • The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
  • The National Institutes of Health (NIH)
  • The Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
  • The Department of Justice (DOJ)
  • The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
  • The Internal Revenue Service (IRS)

It is easy to believe that the U.S. government will support the coming deceitful New World Order.

(More: On Aug. 12, 2022, Dave Hodges said it like this on The Common Sense Show: “The enemy is not at the gate. The enemy is inside the gate.)

Three, concerning corruption: on Aug. 12, 2022, William Koenig reported in Koenig’s Eye View that some people believe Pres. Trump has documents that suggest the involvement of high-level FBI and DOJ officials in the Russian collusion hoax and other schemes.

There is some speculation that the high-level FBI and DOJ officials sent the FBI agents to Mar-a-Lago to find and seize the evidence Trump has.

A few Republicans are seeking whistleblowers that can confirm this, and Koenig noted that whistleblowers are coming forward.

Skeptics should recall that FBI agents have been caught lying to judges and the media about the Russian collusion hoax, and DOJ officials have falsely called parents domestic terrorists for complaining about CRT being taught in schools, etc.

(More: Speculation that this was a dirty trick to keep Trump from running for Pres. again is also rampant.)

(More: On Aug. 15, 2022, it was reported that Rep. Jim Jordan said 14 FBI Whistleblowers have visited Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee alleging misconduct by leaders of the FBI.)

Four, concerning the return of Jews to the Promised Land at the end of the age (Jer. 31:8-9): on Aug. 11, 2022, it was reported that 31,066 Jews have already returned from Russia (18,891) and Ukraine (12,175) this year.

Almost 74% of the 16 to 80-year-old Jews that have returned from Ukraine are women because fighting-age men are not allowed to leave the country while the war is raging.

This brings to mind the fact that war will cause a shortage of men during the Tribulation Period, resulting in seven women being willing to marry one man so they can have a child (Isa. 4:1).

Five, concerning food shortages and famine: on Aug. 9, 2022, it was reported that:

  • There are about 54,000 farms in the Netherlands.
  • 11,200 farms (almost 21%) are being forced to shut down to meet climate change emission goals.
  • 17,600 farms (almost 33%) are being forced to reduce the number of cattle they own to meet climate change nitrogen pollution standards.

Farmers are losing their livelihood, food shortages will increase, and past reports have said these policies are going to be forced on nations all over the world.

They are part of the “Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” goals.

(More: on Aug. 13, 2022, on The Common Sense Show, Dave Hodges said this issue of cattle polluting the air is mentioned in Biden’s “Inflation Reduction Act.” Hodges didn’t say what the bill says about it, but he did say it is in Biden’s bill, and he said food shortages are coming.).

Six, concerning food shortages and famine: on Aug. 14, 2022, it was reported that:

  • The Canadian government is preparing to force Canadian farmers to reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizer they use to grow crops.
  • Forcing farmers to use less nitrogen fertilizer will reduce the amount of food that is produced.
  • Reducing world hunger by 2030 is a UN goal, but using less nitrogen fertilizer will increase world hunger, not reduce it.

Using less nitrogen fertilizer is also part of the “Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” goals.

(More: While the current U.S. administration is falsely claiming that the U.S. has zero inflation, the UN is warning that food prices will keep rising because the price of fertilizer will keep rising, and crop yields will decline.)

(Note: The inflation rate is still 8.5%, not zero.)

Seven, concerning a global population reduction: on Aug. 12, 2022, it was reported that Yuval Noah Harari, chief advisor to World Economic Forum (WEF) head Klaus Schwab, said that the world does not need most of its current population.

According to Harari, Artificial Intelligence (AI; Robots, etc.) is replacing people, the shift to AI is increasing, and an increasing number of people are becoming useless.

Harari and the WEF value the environment and sustainability more than they value the lives of people.

Eight, concerning America’s abandonment of God: on Aug. 12, 2022, it was reported that the Fargo, North Dakota school board has decided that it is illegal to recite the pledge of allegiance to the flag of the U.S. because it mentions God and does not “align with the districts diversity, equity and inclusion values.”

According to the school board’s vice president, “The pledge had to go because it might upset the Hindus, Muslims, and atheists.”

Nine, concerning pestilence and deceit: on Aug. 15, 2022, Jill Biden, wife of Pres. Joe Biden, tested positive for Covid even though she has been double vaccinated and had two booster shots (jabbed for Covid 4 times).

By now, everyone should know that vaccinations and booster shots do not keep people from getting Covid.

Vaccinated and boosted people may have a milder case of Covid (or they may have a dangerous or life-ending side effect from the vaccinations), but they can still get Covid.

People should be concerned that Big Pharma was donating millions of dollars to politicians and making billions of dollars off mandatory vaccinations.

Sadly, we should follow the money because there is some talk of forcing people to be vaccinated for Monkey Pox and other pandemic scare tactics.

The safety of the public should take precedent over political donations and Big Pharma profits.

Ten, concerning food shortages: on Aug. 8, 2022, it was reported that government-funded propagandists in some western nations are now using children’s books to teach children to eat insects and weeds to save the planet from natural disasters and climate change.

The report said this could be dangerous to children.

Eleven, concerning world government and a possible rise of Ten Kings: on Aug. 16, 2022, Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin said (in my words with my explanation):

  • The U.S. and its allies dominate the world in a unipolar fashion (America and its allies act as one power and have too much influence in the world).
  • This unipolar dominance is doomed and will be replaced by a multipolar world (the current international order cannot stand and will be replaced by a new international order with more nations sharing the power and influence).
  • The era of the unipolar world order is a thing of the past (A new world order and a redistribution of power has arrived.).

According to the Bible, Ten Kings (leaders, czars, etc.) are a prelude to the Antichrist, and they will surrender their power and authority to the Antichrist.

I do not know that Putin’s view of a multipolar world is Ten leaders of groups of nations, but I believe we could be seeing the beginning of that.

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.

Evil Company :: By Nathele Graham

Published on: by RR7 Category:General Articles, Ron & Nathele Graham

 

“Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame” (1 Corinthians15:33).

The congregation in Corinth is an example of how we are not to live. It’s also an example of a congregation that was rebuked and took the rebuke to heart. The second letter which Paul wrote to them found a lot less fault in their practice of their Christian faith. One of the main problems in Corinth was the fact that they accepted all manner of evil into their midst. Instead of standing strong upon God’s word, they let the secular ways corrupt their congregation. Paul was very concerned for them and urged them to live for Jesus, not for the world. The above verse speaks mountains of truth. Let’s take a closer look.

The word “communications” is a word that has changed meaning over the years since the King James translation of Scripture first happened. In the original language, the word “homilia” is used, and it means “companionship.” The word “manners” is translated from the word “ethos” and means “custom, usage, morals, character.” The verse, as translated in the New King James Version, reads as “Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits” (1 Corinthians 15:33).

When we accept Christ’s finished work on the cross, we are a new creation in Christ. Our life should reflect that change. The ways of the world should no longer appeal to us. It may not be easy to leave old friends and old ways of thinking, but our faith in Christ means we need to walk close to Him and we need to walk in His footsteps. It most likely won’t be easy, but He never said it would be easy. He did say it would be a sacrifice.

“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, if any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me” (Matthew 16:24).

Taking up one’s cross means death. The old man, which is our selfish sin nature, is nailed to the cross, and the new creation in Christ no longer takes pleasure in sin. If we say we accept Christ but continue associating with evil company, the old ways will draw us far away from Christ. If the old ways of walking in darkness hold more appeal than walking in the Light with Jesus, then you need to examine your faith. Have you truly accepted His sacrifice?

How do we reconcile this with the fact that Jesus spent time with sinners and was accused of being a winebibber? Jesus was God incarnate and entered His creation to bring salvation to lost sinners. When He spent time with sinners (which was everyone but Himself), it wasn’t to be one of the crowd. He never compromised. We need to be careful when we judge others by their behavior. The religious leaders of Jesus’ day were extremely judgmental, and Jesus brought this to their attention.

“For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!” (Luke 7:33-34).

John the Baptist was chosen by God to prepare the way for Jesus. Because of a Nazarite vow, John didn’t cut his hair or drink wine. He must have looked pretty wild. There is no prohibition in Scripture against drinking wine; the only prohibition is against drunkenness. Neither John nor Jesus did anything wrong. The Pharisees compared Jesus to John when they should have been comparing themselves to Jesus. He is the standard to strive for. Today, we need to be around sinners in order to witness to them, but we aren’t to be buddy buddies.

“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?” (2 Corinthians 6:14).

This means marriage as well as business partnerships and friendships. Evil company may not always look evil, but there’s a good chance that if you become yoked with a non-believer, you’ll eventually walk a path in which you stumble rather than walking the path Jesus walked.

We do have freedom in Christ, but that freedom isn’t a license to sin. We need to become more Christ-like. We need to control our actions and our words.

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” (Romans 12:1-2).

God’s love for you knows no boundaries. He gave His life. Jesus left the glory of His home in Heaven and entered His creation to save sinners. He came knowing that He would be slandered, mocked, beaten, and crucified. He loved us so much that He willingly came into this world as a baby, grew and ministered to everyone around Him. Is there anything in your life that is worse than what Jesus faced because of His love for you? Shouldn’t you present your life to Him as a living sacrifice? Yes, you should, even if that means walking away from evil company.

Don’t be deceived. Truth is only found in Scripture. We can find evil company in television shows, movies, songs, and books. Christians need to be careful of what we choose to set our minds to. Do you watch movies that promote sin and violence? Is your hero Dirty Harry or Thor? Don’t choose the evil company found in books and movies which are accepted by the world. Evil company can even be found among so-called Christians. There are many seemingly Christian fellowships with sweet and wonderful people who attend, but there is deception in the pulpit.

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves” (Matthew 7:15).

Many popular books are written by an author who claims to be Christian, but if you read them, use caution. Unless the book holds strongly to Scripture, it is promoting false doctrine. Discernment is a gift from God, and only studying Scripture will give you the knowledge to discern false teachers from Godly men who speak God’s truth. Paul gives a list of some of the gifts given by God to those who seek His truth.

“For to one is given by the Spirt the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same spirit; to another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: but all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will” (1 Corinthians 12:8-11).

It’s not easy to receive gifts from God when you’re spending time with evil company.

Old friends will probably ridicule you and accuse you of being “holier than thou” and a “goody-two-shoes,” but the way you conduct yourself will be a witness to former friends.

The Apostle Paul was never ashamed of his faith, even when among heathens. When he was chatting with a group of non-believers in Athens, he was discussing the gods they worshipped as contrasted by God Almighty. The people of Athens had a god for just about everything and made altars for these false gods. As Paul walked by these altars, he saw one dedicated “To the unknown God” (Acts 17:23). He used that “unknown God” to tell them about Jesus. Paul never used gimmicks in his witnessing, no shoeboxes, or bribery of “good works.” He always came right to the point no matter what danger there might be for him. As he spoke to these men who worshipped the false gods, Paul spoke clearly:

“And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter. So Paul departed from among them” (Acts 17:32-33).

Witnessing is a very important part of Christianity. We have to be bold but know when the seeds have been planted and when to walk away. Paul didn’t become best friends with these people but knew when to let the Holy Spirit work in their hearts. Notice that some of the group mocked. Usually, if someone mocks your faith, you’ve hit a chord, and they will think about what you’ve said. Trust the Holy Spirit to lead them into salvation. Because Paul spoke words inspired by the Holy Spirit, some of the group wanted to hear more, and some came to faith.

Seek the company of others who seek to serve the Lord.

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” (Matthew 6:33).

God will provide for all you need. Seek Him instead of seeking evil company.

God bless you all,

Nathele Graham
