“Professing to Be Wise, They Became Fools…”

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction” (Prov 1:7). “They glorified him not as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools” (Rom 1:21-22).

Before we begin with prophetic concerns: Donald Whitchard, Rapture Ready writer, has to stop writing his weekly biblical series and focus more on a serious medical condition (he’s faced with either kidney dialysis or a kidney transplant). He’d like to thank those who’ve been so kind to read and react to what he’s presented these past few years in the closing days before Jesus takes us home. You may reach him at his email address: donaldwhitchard@gmail.com. His YouTube Channel: “The Reality City Review,” is shown weekdays at 10:00 AM (CDT) -USA (live). His website is www.realitycityreverend.com. You can purchase his book, The Scope of Biblical Prophecy, at www.parsonsporch.com.

Antifa were even “armed like snipers on the 3rd floor of the parking garage.” They carried a sign, “Keep Roanoke Gay,” and escorted attendees. About 20 children and multiple self-proclaimed teachers attended. (footage of event.) There was lack of action by police (probably told to stand down) against Antifa’s intimidation and in not shutting down the over-capacity event.

ABORTION ABOMINATION

Democrat Party’s abortion extremism. Mainstream media is portraying pro-life views as electorally toxic. No matter what they claim, it’s Democrats, not Republicans, who are extremists on abortion.

And Another Depopulation Agenda

Canada Pushing Euthanasia. Welcome to World of Government Health Care. Alan Nichols, 61, was euthanized. His illness? Hearing loss. Nichols’ family said hospital staff pushed him into it. Many disabled or ill Canadians report this push for them to die.

Canadian Virtual Hospice promotes activity book to mainstream euthanasia for kids. Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) Activity Book says, “These activities will help you think about medical assistance in dying by someone in your life, for ages 6–12, but may help younger or older children.” The book explains the procedure; says it “does not hurt.” MAID to MAD initiative pointed out similarity between “Medical Assistance in Dying Activity book” and “Me and My Illness” activity books Virtual Hospice provides, both aimed at children.

APOSTASY AND DOCTRINES OF DEMONS

More Indoctrination of the Youth:

Disney goes satanic: New ‘cartoon’ features girl dubbed the Antichrist. This leftist corporation that openly promotes LGBT agenda points and links itself to body mutilations of children through transgender ideology has a new so-called adult “cartoon,” “Little Demon,” featuring a girl of about 13. “There’s no more putting this off. Your dad is the devil, and you’re the Antichrist,” the cartoon mom tells her. One of the voice actors expressed approval that it normalizes “paganism.” Animation attracts children, and they know it.

Cult of the lamb Video Game. Deceived minion reports online call it creepily adorable. The dark lord in the game, called The One Who Waits, says, “You see me here in chains, reduced to nothing. But it has not always been thus. I was bound to this wretched place by the Bishops of the Old Faith. They betrayed me and left me to rot. Each of the four chains that bind me are guarded by one of the Bishops. Destroy the Bishops, and you break the chain. Break all four, and I will be freed. I gave you life anew, vessel, and now you must repay the debt. You know what must be done. To defeat the bishops, you will need to become stronger. Sacrifice a follower to absorb more power – this will aid you in your quest to free me.”

If the player agrees to serve this dark lord whose follower ID is 666 (see under Trivia), they draw power from him and can earn an achievement called Deal with the Devil. The player can build his own cult “in the name of your shadowy savior.” There are rituals, curses, Tarot cards, spirit guide, sacrifices, etc. One million units were sold the first week. Watch video warning about it at this link.

Mankind Playing gods

Scientists score major breakthrough in drive to create ‘synthetic’ humans. With stem cells, they were able to grow a mouse embryo with brain, beating heart, and foundations of all organs, described as “a new avenue for recreating the first stages of life.” Their goal amounts to growing humans in a lab to cultivate their organs. Attempting to reverse-engineer God’s sacred creation of life will not end well.

Climate Change Agenda: Ruse for Totalitarian Global Government (& Mother Earth-Gaia worship)

Canada: installing weapons armories, interrogation rooms for Ministry of Climate Change. It’s recruiting Climate “Pollution” Officers. Emit too much carbon or use too much fertilizer, and you may be on the Climate Communists’ hit list. Reported last week: French Govt to Recruit 3,000 ‘Green Police’ over Climate Change.

PLAGUE, PESTILENCE…

Another planned-demic? Monkeypox Vaccine Insanity. USDA issued Emergency Use Authorization for “high risk” children. Just like coronavirus Event 201, the reported monkeypox outbreak was prefigured by a “simulation” a year prior. The 2021 exercise focused on a “fictional” scenario of an “unusual monkeypox strain” that would wreak global havoc.

FDA expected to authorize new Covid booster shots this week without testing completed [not that clinical trials prove safety]. FDA and vaccine makers say they’re confident the shots will work safely.

Meat Produced in Other Countries Has U.S. Label, meaning it was just repackaged and relabeled in the U.S. The trouble began when Obama’s USDA began allowing meat to be sold without disclosing country of origin. More and more small ranchers are going to go out of business, and a meat shortage in the future is likely because of reliance on meat from other countries. Our dependency on other countries for basic commodities never works out well.

BORDER DISORDER

Biden Regime’s Lawless Border of Horrors: Pregnant 12-year-olds, Drowned Babies, ‘Rape Trees,’ Organ Harvesting… Since Biden took office, nearly 3 million illegal migrants have crossed the U.S. border. There are horror stories of women and children exploited by cartels: held captive in ‘stash houses,’ some as sex slaves, others trafficked, kidnapped, organs harvested, ransomed, impregnated 12 to 14-year-olds, victims as young as 3 showing signs of brutal rape, “rape trees” where women’s undergarments are strewn as trophies to mock CBP agents and mark numbers of rapes by smugglers and cartels.

WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS: Tension between Israel and its enemies ramping up prophetically

Hezbollah (in Lebanon) amassing weapons on Israel’s northern border; blocking U.N. peacekeepers.

Iran calls for ‘Palestinians’ and Hezbollah to launch ground offensive against Israel.

Alleged Israeli airstrikes targeted Aleppo (northern Syria) and Damascus (southern Syria). Airstrikes targeted Aleppo International Airport. Afterward, strikes targeted sites near Damascus International Airport, Damascus-Daraa highway, etc. Recently, after Israeli airstrikes destroyed runways at Damascus International Airport, Iranian airlines suspected of smuggling weapons to Iran-backed militias in Syria and Lebanon reportedly began landing in Aleppo instead of Damascus.

Syria asked Iran not to attack Israel from its territory, as it would risk all-out war in the country.

Hezbollah to increase forces in Syria after Israeli attacks. Israel’s enemies want the world to believe Israel is the bad guy. However, Israel must conduct strikes to diminish Iran’s weapons getting to its proxies. Tensions are increasing, and it’s happening as Iran approaches nuclear breakout with or without a nuclear agreement.

Israeli Intelligence experts: Prepare for military confrontation with Iran or its satellites. The military option is the only one left once superpowers sign the nuclear deal. There’s no chance of preventing it; therefore, Israel must be ready to protect herself.

Israel is on its own against Iran. A bogus Iran deal now seems all but certain, and Israel can’t expect significant assistance from the U.S. Iran will have capability to operate directly and through its proxies under a nuclear umbrella. And Israel will face a threat it will be hard-pressed to handle.

Iran-Russia axis grows; new energy deal intends to dominate world market. When Russia’s Putin met with Iran’s Ayatollah to finalize gas and drone deals, he also visited Turkey’s Erdoğan. Bible prophecy students know this Russia-Arab coalition will invade Israel (Ezek 38–39), Battle of Gog and Magog.

Taliban officials in Afghanistan nearing contract for purchase of wheat, gas, and oil from Russia. Of course, Russia will attach strings to this agreement. And “-istan” nations are part of the coalition (see map) that attacks Israel.

God is going to punish all nations that will soon come against Israel! (Isaiah 17, Ezekiel 38-39, Zechariah 12 & 14, Joel 3).

Sleepwalking Into an Energy Disaster

For many years the US government warned Germany of the dangers of becoming dependent on Russia for its supply of natural gas. Germany ignored our advice and proceeded to become all the more addicted to Russian natural gas. As of last year, Germany imported 80% of this form of fuel from Russia.

In 2018 President Trump spoke in a UN speech about how dangerous it was for Germany to become dependent on Russia. The German diplomats at the UN openly laughed at Trump. Now that Russia has cut off the supply of natural gas to the German economy, no one in Berlin is laughing. The brutal invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops has forced the European Union to pull away from Moscow.

The EU’s 27 member states agreed to voluntarily cut gas consumption by 15% between August and March 2023. The ultimate plan is to cut all oil and gas imports from Russia. Here are some early steps that nations are taking to break the dependence on Russian natural gas:

In Germany, Cologne’s magnificent cathedral — normally lit throughout the night — now goes dark overnight. Public buildings, museums, and other landmarks — such as the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin — will no longer be illuminated overnight either.

In France, Shopkeepers will now be fined for keeping doors open and air conditioning running, a common practice.

In Spain, Congress agreed to temperature limitations — air conditioning no cooler than 81 degrees Fahrenheit.

In Italy, air conditioning in schools and public buildings has already been limited in what the government labeled “Operation Thermostat.”

Europe is facing an energy crisis, and most people still don’t grasp its full magnitude. Natural gas is very hard to move from one place to the other. You cannot store large quantities of it. Some nations’ operating plan is to buy natural gas from Norway. It will take each one of them a few years to tap into Norwegian gas fields. The question is, what are they going to do this year?

It is very dangerous to become over-dependent on one form of energy. Many areas of China rely heavily on hydropower for the production of electricity. A drought has forced China to close factories because there is not enough water to run turbines. Texas learned about the need for energy diversity when cold weather in 2019 greatly hampered its supply of natural gas for electrical production. I had no idea that cold weather can freeze up gas wells.

It has become very popular to ban the usage of fossil fuels by a given date. The California Air Resources Board just approved regulations that ban the sale of new gas-engine vehicles by 2035, requiring all new cars to run on electricity or hydrogen. Despite the strong demand for electric cars, sales made up only 3% of total car sales last year. The board mandated that by 2025, 40% of all cars should be carbon neutral.

There is no chance we will meet this goal. They might as well vote that all cars should be able to fly by 2030. We do not have the capability of transmitting the power needed to charge that many vehicles. We do not produce enough key metals to build that many cars. Something in the order of about 90% of the lithium that’s used in batteries is processed in China right now, which is not a desirable situation. The Democratic Republic of Congo produces 70% of the world’s supply of cobalt. With an average price of an electric vehicle currently $66,000, most people cannot afford one.

The Paris Agreement on climate change is a key reason why energy prices are so high. As soon as it was adopted by 196 Parties on 12 December 2015, oil companies quit investing in fossil fuels. Seven years later, we are still using these products, and they are at record highs in price.

Some people are waking up and are trying to prepare for the coming energy disaster. In Poland, people have lined up for days to buy coal. A small town in Germany of 60 people has been stockpiling sawdust to power homes and businesses.

There has been one factor that has forced people to face reality. In the past few months, businesses have started receiving shocking gas and electricity bills. One pub owner in Great Britain was told her annual gas bill would go from $30,000 to $60,000 over the next year. Most bills have doubled, but some have gone up as much as 500%. Millions of businesses still weak from the COVID-19 lockdown will be forced to close forever.

I firmly believe that demonic insanity is the only way to explain why world energy policies have become removed from basic common sense. As the world becomes more evil, the devil has greater control over the minds of people.

“But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived” (2 Timothy 3:13).

Critical Race—Not Theory

If there is one term in today’s upside-down culture that pushes the button that brings division in America, it is the word “race.” But concerning the life of the Christian, that is a word that should trip movement diametrically opposite of division in the spiritual minds of those who claim Christ as Lord.

I’m referring, of course, not to the colors of the skin of humanity, but to the force with which the believer runs his or her course that is assigned by God beginning with the believer’s new birth. Running the race set before us in the right way never brings division, but oneness in the most critical matter in God’s holy eyes.

The race is that of believers in Christ following the course set for each of us individually. But the collective race is for the high calling of our Lord Jesus Christ. That call unifies the Body of Christ. It does not divide one from another in the family of God.

What is that calling? It is found in the Great Commission, the commandment with which the Lord left the apostles who stood gawking upward as He ascended (Acts 1: 9-10).

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” (Matt 28: 19-20)

While obeying this one commandment—the Great Commission—is a critical collective effort that includes every believer of the Church Age (Age of Grace), obeying Christ’s last words (what He said before He ascended) is just as critical to each person who follows Jesus. How we run this race throughout our lives determines our eternal future. We are running it at this very moment. We—you and I—have been in this race since the moment we were born into the family of God.

And no matter our station in life in our jobs, health, society, wealth, class, or any other, we each have a certain course God set for us at our new birth. We are, individually, to run our race with all that is within us, as we let the Lord lead (Proverbs 3:5–6).

The words that frame this race we’re in were indelibly stamped into my spirit on that Good Friday, April 22, 2011—the clinical death I experienced three times within forty-five minutes, according to hospital records. The scriptural application has been with me every day since.

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:1–2).

Those who have read of that experience know of my report of the race I perceived I was a part of, surrounded by young, beautiful, heavenly beings with their arms raised in victory. We were running, I’ve been told in my spiritual understanding, to serve as, in part at least, encouragement to finish this earthly, spiritual race in which we as believers are presently participants. That’s why I continue to share the matters involved with my fellow believers. I am convicted I must.

We’re not running this sometimes very difficult course in vain. Paul said further:

“Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.” (1 Corinthians 9:24–27)

As we observe the prophetic stage-setting that is literally bursting from all our news reports, our eyes should be affixed on Heaven’s finish line. We are already victors through our Savior and Lord and His finished race on the cross at Calvary two millennia ago. All we have to do is carry out His Great Commission collectively and, particularly, individually.

The great apostle, as he faced the moment of his execution, said further:

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” (2 Timothy 4:7–8)

Our Lord could appear at any moment, or we could at any moment appear before Him through the portal of death (a passage into that glorious dimension I look back on as nothing to fear as a Christian.)

So it is a critical race you and I are in at this very moment, and it’s not a “theory,” as the nonbelieving world sadly views Bible truth to be. We want, when our race is finished on this earth, to hear the Lord Jesus Christ say, as I’m sure He must have said to the Apostle Paul the moment Paul had his physical life ended by a Roman sword: “Well done, good, faithful, servant. Enter into your eternal rest as my joint heir.”

But you will never hear those words from the Savior who died to take away your sin that separates you from God and Heaven if you don’t accept Christ’s grace gift of salvation. Here, yet again, is how you can join and finish the critical race toward the high calling of Christ.

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10:9–10)
