Target’s new Pride Month Collection Features Chest Binders and Packing Underwear, plus much more! Target has offered a pride collection for children from babies on up for years. Now it’s catering to the trans community with items made for them. Toddler tees proclaim, “Trans Rights Are Human Rights,” shirts with pronouns, pride rainbow-colored merchandise in all forms, including onesies and matching family sets. Toddler books include “Bye Bye, Binary” and “The Pronoun Book.” In the adult collection, a poem includes the line, “For the queer lovers and everyone in between, for the rebels that fight to forever be seen,” is on tote bags, shirts, and beach towels. Pride dog toys such as a giraffe in lesbian flag colors. Cat toys such as a stuffed teacup with rainbow tea and three tea bags with lesbian, transgender, and bisexual pride flags.

Discovery TV welcomes “pink palace” where children as young as 13 are groomed for transexualism. Leftist mainstream media and Biden’s regime want everyone to accept this “grooming” as normal, that kids should be extravagantly flaunting sexuality, including at school.

Video: Biden-Endorsed Plan Has Girls Across the US Removing Their Breasts. A growing number of girls as young as 13 are having “top surgery” to appear masculine. Democrats, liberal media outlets, teachers with ideological agendas, and children’s TV shows and movies have pushed ‘woke’ gender ideology. Activists, establishment media outlets, and Biden voice support for allowing children to receive “gender-affirming” care.

Martin Scorsese’s ‘Catholic’ pro-LGBT film featuring Fr. James Martin. Starring in a film that affirms the LGBT lifestyle, Fr. James Martin calls for the Catholic Church to concede to demands of LGBT’s agenda.

Biological males claiming to be ‘females’ now officially allowed to transfer to women’s prisons in Canada.

Chicago Mayor Urges’ Call to Arms’ Over Supreme Court possibly overturning Roe v Wade; says to LGBTQ’s, “the Supreme Court is coming for us next. “This moment has to be a call to arms,” she said. She should be concerned with her crime-riddled city, but she’s gaslighting & inciting, calling for more violence across the country.

ABORTION ABOMINATION

Satanic Temple Will Argue in Court That Abortion Is a Religious Ritual to which they claim to have a right. They joined Democrats in their battle against the Supreme Court’s possible ruling on Roe v Wade. Satanic Temple says they’ll fight in court for the right to “religious abortion.”

After first refusing to condemn doxing and targeting of justices and families at their homes, Biden regime finally condemns protests with ‘violence, threats or vandalism’ – only after activists targeted justices’ homes, churches, and an anti-abortion office was hit with Molotov cocktails. The Left has an addiction to rage. This was evident in 2020 when Senate Majority Leader Schumer stood in front of the Supreme Court threatening Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh by name. Possibility not being able to legally murder babies in the womb has the Left gnashing their teeth.

Justice Alito and Family Taken to Secure Location to Protect Them from Pro-Abortion Violence.

Pro-Abortion Group Promises More Violence Nationwide: Says it’s “Our Last Warning.”

Hillary-Endorsed Abortion Group Targeting Churches Is a Front for Revolutionary Communists.

Reporter Caroline Reilly says pro-lifers shouldn’t have ‘peace or safety’ until they’re dead. Critics wonder why police or FBI haven’t gotten involved.

Levi Strauss & Co. endorses abortion as ‘critical’ to women’s progress. Levi Strauss & Co. joins Amazon, Yelp, Citigroup, and other companies that have announced abortion benefits plans in anticipation that some states will enact new restrictions on abortion. Levi Strauss & Co. vociferously endorsed abortion as a “critical factor to workplace gains and contributions women have made over the past 50 years.” The company argued that pro-life laws “restricting or criminalizing access” to killing unborn children in the womb “will jeopardize that progress.” The company says it will disproportionately impact women of color

…FYI: Abortion has always been rooted in eugenics, a tool to eradicate certain racial groups. Does Levi’s support this same eugenics agenda? Sounds like it, based on its “women of color” rhetoric. This leaves the impression that Levi’s wants its dark-skinned female employees to get abortions as easily as possible, so the company is now paying for travel and accommodations to make that happen. Just like the “Black Lives Matter” psy-op, this is another attempt at dividing America based on race while pushing an agenda that ultimately harms the very people it claims to support.

A War for the Unborn is Raging in America. The pro-life movie “A Matter of Life,” will be in theaters May 16 and 17 only. Find a theater near you and get your tickets.

MORE RUINATION OF CHILDREN

Disney’s Latest Marvel Film Creating a Stir About PG-13 Instead of R Rating. Disney’s film “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” has “INTENSE sequences of violence” and more.

APOSTASY AND DOCTRINES OF DEMONS

US city launches attack on traveling Christian evangelists. Colorado has a well-established reputation for attacking Christians. One of its civil rights commissioners likened them to Nazis. The state tried to punish Christian baker Jack Phillips over his biblical beliefs and essentially attacked the owner of 303 Creative over the same issues – a Christian’s decision not to promote the same-sex agenda. Now, one of the state’s cities, Pueblo, is discriminating against Christian evangelists who travel from city to city, often in RVs, delivering revival messages to local churches (a way to serve God in retirement years).

The Price America Is Paying for Rejecting God. Contrary to what Biden and Pelosi claim, they don’t trust in God; their policies show they don’t know Him. Cultural degradation in every way is being wrought by the Left. And rather than stand up against those determined to make America a Godless nation, many so-called Christians and churches have let it happen in the name of being “seeker-friendly.”

The Gospel v. Supernatural Evil in Vietnam. Belief in evil spirits exerts a death grip on animistic ethnic groups, including one that practices “fire-walking.” It’s a devil-worship ceremony. They bleed a chicken on the altar to release demon power so men can walk on fire for 10 minutes without getting burned. The ceremony, on tribal festival days, puts them in a trance as they walk on burning coals; it exalts supernatural evil and tightens demonic hold on fearful villagers. Local officials prohibit anyone from going to unreached people groups to proclaim the Gospel. Missionaries are helping the persecuted and risking arrest and harm as they bring the message of salvation in Christ.

ISLAM’S TAKEOVER PLAN IS WORKING

Great Replacement: EU Children’s Propaganda Brochure Features Hijabi Girl – ‘You Are the Future!’ Migrants are used by left-wing elites to dilute host cultures, ensure more votes, and seize power. The EU Commission released a propaganda pamphlet (aimed at ages 12-15) that consists of pictures with Islamic girls in sharia covering. It’s globalists’ latest tool to brainwash children to celebrate the population replacement scheme, known as the Great Replacement. From Gatestone Institute: In one generation, Europe will be unrecognizable: Europe, as it is aging, no longer renews its generations and instead welcomes massive numbers of migrants from the Middle East, Africa and Asia, who are going to replace native Europeans, and who are bringing cultures with radically different values… [including] the relation between God and man.

Just as God warned Israel in ancient times what would happen if they continued to disobey God and go after foreign gods, so His warning surely applies in today’s world. Muslims, specifically, are commanded in their Quran to migrate to other countries in order for the Islam religion to eventually take over.

ISLAMIC TERRORISM

Islam’s Sharia Law: Taliban has ordered Afghan women to cover their faces in public.

Terrorists Kill Three People on Israel’s Independence Day. Two terrorists with an axe and a knife killed 3 Israelis and wounded another 4.

TERROR CONTINUES: Stabbing by Jerusalem’s Old City. A Muslim Arab terrorist stabbed a border policeman as the current terror waves continue to grow.

Media Cover-Up: ‘Allah’ Screaming Muslim Stabs Father in Throat Outside his Children’s Catholic School. French left-wing media quickly deployed their formula for protecting religious Muslims who kill non-Muslims in accordance with their Islamic principles. They suggest the man most likely suffers from “psychological issues.” Then media announced he’d be subjected to a psychological exam. Next, the media consistently defends jihadis and Islamic ideology that motivates these attacks. Most articles written by French media claimed the attacker claimed his motives were for “God” (Dieu), not “Allah.” Yet, even a cursory reading of Islam’s Quran shows Allah is NOT the God of the Bible.

HATRED OF JEWS AND ISRAEL

BDS Groups Threaten War Against Jews. BDS groups are increasingly revealing their true intentions. BDS leaders are declaring solidarity with terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad and call for war on all Jews and Jewish groups in America who support Israel. The true face of BDS is not about peace. It’s about war. It’s about violence.

LAST DAYS TRAITORS (actually, most of the topics could have this headline)

Nonprofit Watchdog Uncovers $350 Million In Secret Payments to Fauci, Collins, Others At NIH. “We estimate up to $350 million in royalties from third parties (pharmaceutical companies, etc.) has been paid to NIH scientists between 2010-2020,” Open the Books CEO Adam Andrzejewski said.

Acting NIH Director Admits Appearance of Conflict of Interest in Royalty Payments to Fauci, Scientists.

Homeland Security’s “Disinformation Board” is Even More Pernicious Than It Seems. Operatives in the US Security State aren’t devoted to combatting disinformation. On the contrary: they’re trained, career liars tasked with concocting and spreading disinformation.

Biden Disinformation Czar Demands Power to Edit Other People’s Tweets. Yet, Nina Jankowicz has a proven track record of pushing disinformation and hyper-partisanship.

Biden’s Attack Against Police – Again. Despite record police murders, Biden plans an Executive Order crippling police self-defense, changing “use of force.” This is against advice of every major police union, Supreme Court precedent, State and Federal statute. It will, in effect, raise personal risk, liability, and danger to all law enforcement officers.

How Governments Expropriate Wealth with Inflation and Taxes. Treasury Sec. Yellen admitted stimulus plans helped create the inflation problem. “Inflation is a matter of demand and supply, and the spending undertaken in the American Rescue Plan did feed demand,” she said. She claims the spending was appropriate due to economy collapse as governments tried to prevent recession. Yet, governments don’t avoid recessions through spending; they make problems larger by constantly adding debt that central banks monetize…. This uncontrolled increase in M3 money supply leads to asset inflation and then everyday goods price inflation. Both lead to inequality and constant deterioration of currency’s purchasing power, making salaries in real terms lower.

PLAGUE, PESTILENCE…

Severe hepatitis outbreak in healthy kids. 11 countries, including the US, have reported a total of 169 cases of severe acute hepatitis in healthy children ages 1 month to 16 years, with the largest outbreak in the UK. At least 17 have required liver transplants; one has died. WHO and CDC believe the outbreak might be linked to adenovirus, though investigations continue. Yet, adenoviruses have rarely been associated with hepatitis in children with weak immune systems, and not in healthy ones.

…AND THE PLANNED-DEMIC

On May 22: WHO will have authority to lock down all of America. Officials from Biden’s regime are working to give the World Health Organization power to unilaterally declare a health emergency in any country, thereby giving them emergency powers. This goes unreported by heritage media, but former Congressman Michele Bachmann is sounding the alarm: “Biggest global power grab in our lifetimes.”

People Who Took COVID Vaccine Experiencing Unexplainable Strokes, Cancers, Heart Attacks, including doctors. On this episode of NTEB Prophecy News Podcast, the COVID vaccine didn’t turn out as promised, and remember all the promises they made about the vaccine? Promises they now deny ever saying, but we have the audio. Also, see a list from some months back of doctors who died suddenly.

ABC News analysis: COVID deaths rising among vaccinated. An analysis by ABC News of federal data found a growing proportion of COVID deaths among the vaccinated. Wall Street Journal reported that areas of the country with highest vaccination rates “are coping with elevated cases and hospitalizations as the latest highly contagious iterations of the virus circulate.” ABC News contributor Dr. John Brownstein said the data “should not be interpreted as vaccines not working.” He said the vaccines afford protection, especially when up to date with boosters.” Fauci said, “Given the fact that immunity is waning, we’ve got to get people boosted.” HOWEVER, a top FDA official said “we simply can’t be boosting people as frequently as we are.”

CDC and UK government data have indicated COVID vaccines not only are ineffective in preventing cases and transmission, they rapidly lose protection against severe illness or death while posing risks. An analysis of CDC data by Dr. Meryl Nass found vaccinated Californians and New Yorkers were three times more likely to develop COVID than those who had prior immunity and were unvaccinated. Vaccinated Californians had a higher rate of hospitalizations than those who were unvaccinated but had prior immunity. New York did not provide hospitalization data.

They Don’t Need Planned Parenthood When They Have the Jab. Reports make it clear the vaccine is extremely dangerous for pregnant women. Yet, FDA and CDC don’t care. Watch the video for more.

FDA restricting Janssen’s COVID vaccine over risk of major blood clotting syndrome. The Janssen shot (affiliated with Johnson & Johnson) is now restricted to “18 years of age and older for whom other authorized or approved COVID vaccines are not accessible or clinically appropriate, and to 18 years of age and older who elect to receive the Janssen COVID Vaccine because they’d otherwise not receive a COVID vaccine,” an FDA news release said. With that said, vaccines from other pharmaceutical companies have caused deaths from the same thing.

ECONOMIC INSECURITY…

Cryptocurrency investors panic during market bloodbath: some are threatening suicide. While Luna’s collapse is the most spectacular, other cryptocurrencies are also in freefall.

Federal Reserve raises interest rates as inflation shows no signs of slowing. The Fed raised a key interest by half a point to combat soaring inflation, a move critics say came too late and some economists say now risks a recession. Inflation has surged 8.5% since last year, highest recorded level since 1981. Price hikes have delivered a stunning blow to Americans’ pocketbooks and put Biden and congressional Dems on the spot to do something or face retribution from voters in November.

Growing List of US Companies Laying People Off. As the economy continues to grind to a halt and inflation continues to run rampant, US businesses are starting to realize they’re stretched too thin financially and are starting to lay people off. So much for “building back better.”

Biden and Destruction of The West. The Biden regime has ushered in the highest inflation in nearly [40] years due to economic and foreign policy blunders.

Eco-Marxists – Green god worshipers and Marxist minions: Biden Regime Cancels Huge Alaska Oil and Gas Lease as Gas Prices Hit Record Highs. The Biden regime has canceled one of the most high-profile oil and gas lease sales at a time when Americans are suffering from record-high prices at the pump. DOI’s reasoning? A “lack of industry interest in leasing in the area” of over 1 million acres in Alaska. The department also halted two leases under consideration in the Gulf of Mexico due to “conflicting court rulings that impacted work on these proposed lease sales.” Former Trump-Pence EPA transition member Steve Milloy traced the lease cancellations to Biden. “In Alaska, the problem was that the greens scared off virtually everyone.” Frank Macchairola, a top official with the American Petroleum Institute – the country’s largest oil and gas trade association, called the cancellation “another example of the administration’s lack of commitment to oil and gas development in the US.”

Within his first week in office, Biden signed an executive order temporarily suspending new oil and gas leases on federal lands. The administration resumed the new leasing last month following court challenges against the ban. The administration is appealing a ruling in which Judge James Cain, a Trump appointee, struck down the ban.

Gas prices in US just hit a record high; now almost 50% higher than a year ago.

Another Fuel Crisis on the Horizon? East Coast Diesel Stockpiles Hit Record Low. Diesel is used in trucks, tractors, freight trains, and power generation. Soaring prices will only exacerbate inflationary pressures. “The diesel shortfall is nearing crisis levels.” Reality is sinking in about the worst inflation in four decades. Truckers said it now costs $1,000 to fill up their fuel tanks. And they’re not buying the Biden regime’s narrative that Russia is responsible for soaring fuel prices.

When people stop believing in God, they do not become irreligious – they simply find new gods to worship.

… AND FOOD INSECURITY

40% of America’s baby formula supplies out of stock. A total of 26 states have out of stock rates of 40 to 50%. “Inflation, supply chain shortages, and product recalls have continued to bring volatility to the category, and continues to be one of the most affected products in the market.”

Grocery Store Prices Up the Most in Nearly 42 Years.

Beef Prices Will Keep Rising, Major U.S. Meatpacker Says. Cost of meat has been a focus as consumers grapple with the fastest inflation in four decades. This source says the average price for ground beef in America’s grocery stores has jumped 18% from a year ago.

Tyson Foods reports soaring meat prices as inflation continues.

Food Banks Are Very Low on Food. Inflation is up, donations are down, and more people need food.

Spring Wheat Hits 14-Year High on World War 3 & Weather Woes.

Who Owns Union Pacific Railway and Why Did It Cut Shipping of Fertilizer to Farmers? Last month, CF Industries, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of hydrogen and nitrogen fertilizer, warned its customers that Union Pacific Railway Lines is restricting their shipments during the spring application season, jeopardizing farmers’ harvests and increasing the cost of food for consumers. Vanguard and BlackRock own the majority stakes in both CF Industries, the fertilizer manufacturer, and Union Pacific, the railway distributor. Critics are suspicious of engineered food shortages.

Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock asset management firm that controls trillions in investments, is a member of the board of trustees of Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum and sits on the board of directors for the Council on Foreign Relations. A few years ago, Fink said: “Behaviors are going to have to change, and this is one thing we are asking companies, you have to force behaviors, and at BlackRock, we are forcing behaviors.”

World’s Largest Fertilizer Company Warns Crop Nutrient Disruptions Through 2023. A bulk of the world’s supply has been taken offline, blames on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, sparking soaring prices and shortages of crop nutrients in top growing areas worldwide – an early indication of a global food crisis in beginning innings.

Why farmers are dumping truckloads of avocados to rot despite massive food price rises. Farmers say it’s a necessary evil. “The cost of putting that stuff in a package, including labor, cost of packaging, and cost of transport, is just not worthwhile,” one said.

WEATHER EVENTS

99% of Utah under “severe” or “extreme” drought as of May 9.

Unseasonably heavy rain hits Queensland, Australia. This week, parts of the state have received 3 to 4 months’ worth of rain in 48 to 72 hours. The Emergency Service has responded to over 100 calls for assistance, and one person is dead.

South Africa heading for another year of record-breaking power cuts. The country’s energy crisis is caused by degrading infrastructure and its inability to adapt to rising political challenges.

Orange County, California: Evacuation orders in place for Laguna Niguel wildfire. Hundreds of firefighters continue to battle a wildfire that broke out Wednesday during windy conditions, which has destroyed at least 20 multimillion-dollar homes and mansions. Residents should brace for more planned rolling blackouts because SoCal Edison says there was “circuit activity” around the time of the fire (various utilities’ electrical equipment is repeatedly linked to ignition of disastrous California wildfires, especially during windy conditions). Extreme drought expanded from covering 40% of the state to 60% in the past week alone, and January to April were the driest first four months on record for California.

THE GLOBAL WARMING GAIA-WORSHIPING AGENDA…

…Causing Concern of Electricity Shortages. Besides a global diesel shortage nightmare that could begin as soon as next month, WSJ explains grid instability and increased risk of power shortages this summer comes as fossil fuel power plants are “being retired more quickly than they can be replaced by renewable energy and battery storage.” Power grids are racing to retire conventional power plants fueled by natural gas, coal, and diesel to green forms of energy, such as solar power and wind. There’s also the retirement of aging nuclear power plants.

Using ‘Climate Change’ To Kill Sovereignty and Unite Globalism. From Ed Hindson: In a world where all countries collectively face the emergency of [so-called] global warming, many claim national sovereignty should be forfeited and that there’s a need for a new international body that attempts to maintain order. Sounds like a global government that can force nations to do whatever it deems “best for the globe.” Could this push lead to stronger emphasis on globalism and one-world government? It certainly looks like it could be a possibility and something strongly pushed by progressives in the future.

DELIBERATE PITTING OF NATION (ETHNIC) AGAINST NATION (ETHNIC): A MARXIST AGENDA

Children in DC elementary school informed they’re white racists. The children were subjected to an “anti-racism” lesson, a now common occurrence in ‘woke’ schools, but this lesson went even farther: students were asked to identify racist family members.

WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS

Russia parades nuclear missiles (video), which marked Russia’s 77th annual Victory Day. This comes weeks after Russia’s foreign minister stated that a nuclear Third World War is a possibility and that by providing Ukraine with weapons, NATO already fired the first shot. Additionally, Russian newscasters are laughing on camera while reporting on the potential of nuclear Armageddon. In March, Russia issued a chilling threat to attack the West with nuclear weapons if NATO forces enter Ukraine.

China’s armed forces carried out another round of exercises near Taiwan.

China Accelerates Nuclear Buildup, Military Modernization; Biden is Speeding the US Into Defeat. China is building up military capabilities in space, cyberspace, and the conventional force…. There’s now added probability of China and Russia engaging in military coordination… a strategic partnership of “no limits” and “no forbidden areas” in an agreement aimed at countering US influence. This is NOT the time for the US to cancel the sea-launched nuclear cruise missile as Biden plans to do. Meanwhile, Biden’s proposed defense budget risks speeding the US to defeat. “Nearly every dollar of this budget increase will be eaten by inflation. Very little, if anything, will be left to modernize and grow capability.”

When will the Israel-Iran proxy war ignite? Summary: Should force be required to stop an Iranian bomb, Israel would have to act and almost certainly act alone. That’s how the long-standing Israel-Iran proxy war could assume a terrible reality. There was an alleged April 27 Israeli attack on arms depots in several suburbs of Damascus used by Iran-backed groups. Also, on April 14, several missiles hit Syrian army positions near Damascus. Israel has said that Iranian or Iranian-supported presence near Israel’s northern frontier is a red line. There’s always a risk of this long-standing proxy war suddenly igniting into direct military conflict between Israel and Iran. Whether this nightmare scenario ever materializes turns on how Iran’s nuclear program emerges from the current negotiations.

If the writer of the above article would read Isaiah 17 and Ezekiel 8-39, he’d know this “nightmare scenario” will materialize. He’s correct in saying Israel would be acting alone in taking measures to ensure it’s not wiped out.

Two alleged Israeli strikes target sites near Syrian border on May 11.

Alleged Israel strike in Syria on May 13. Syria’s State media claims a large number of missiles were launched by jets over Masyaf, with five killed and seven injured; footage shows fire at a site in an area thought to be controlled by Iran-backed forces. As usual, Syria claims to have shot down the missiles – a routinely disproved claim.

Iran Underscores Govt’s Priority to Bolster Strategic Ties with Damascus. Syrian President Assad met with Iran’s Ayatollah, during which both called for even stronger ties. Iran has increasingly advanced its efforts in Syria, using it to house weaponry to attack Israel, which has resulted in multiple Israeli strikes. In Isaiah 17, we’re told that in the last days, Damascus, capital of Syria, will be completely destroyed. Although we’re not told how it will happen, Syria has become a hotbed of activity in the Middle East that those familiar with Bible Prophecy have been watching very closely.

DEMONIC DELUSION

House Intelligence Committee Panel to Hear UFO Testimony.

Report released May 9: 5 Navy witnesses describe 2004 UFO encounter with aircraft carrier.

CASHLESS SOCIETY AND CONTROL

Currency Reset Is Coming – 90% of Nations Planning Digital Currency. Programmability is a major feature of digital currency which would allow the issuer to set limits and controls over its use. Essentially, any CBDC would give either the state, central bank or corporation issuing the money as wages the power to control how and where the money is spent. The end of economic freedom is coming, and it’s coming soon on a global scale.

ORWELLIAN SOCIETY

Chula Vista, California: First City in America to Be Completely Monitored by Spy Drones. As we’ve seen with other Orwellian moves like license plate scanners and surveillance cameras, this drone program will not remain solely in Chula Vista, and other states have already begun similar programs.

“NEW WORLD ORDER” DISORDER

Emmanuel Macron’s vision for a new European political community. In a speech to mark Europe Day, Macron said leaders had a “historic obligation” to form a “new European organization” that “would allow democratic European nations to find a new space for political cooperation, security, cooperation in energy, transport, investment, infrastructure [and] movement of people.” “Virtually no specifics about the proposal” were provided by Macron, who was just inaugurated for his second term as president. The Élysée Palace “did not provide any fact sheets or other policy briefs as it has on previous occasions when Macron has laid out bold prescriptions for Europe.”

An EU Army On the Horizon? The pieces of the EU Army already exist; they just needed a reason to be assembled. Thanks to the US’s “chaotic” withdrawal from Afghanistan and Russia’s “Special Operation” in Ukraine, it looks like they’ve got one. Some of Europe’s most prominent politicians have argued for years that to become a true global power, the EU needs its own defense force. French President Emmanuel Macron is one of the biggest supporters and has been calling for a “true European army” since he took power. A number of Bible Prophecy experts and students see the potential for Europe to fulfill the prophecies of the Book of Daniel & Revelation, in which a 10-nation alliance from Europe (the Beast of Revelation) becomes the seat of power for the Antichrist on his way to global domination.

There are more questions and speculation than anything else at this point regarding the future of the European Union, but with so many prophetic events converging at this time, it is time to be paying attention more now than ever before.

Ukraine: It’s What People Don’t See That Matters. Both sides seek to enslave humanity under a Marxist totalitarian government. Biden’s regime and other globalists intend to do the same with the so-called Great Reset. Satan can only do so much through his minions until God allows the globalists to finish setting up the kingdom over which the Antichrist will briefly rule. In the end, God’s purposes will prevail as foretold in Scripture. We find this blessed assurance in Proverbs 21:30, “No wisdom, no understanding, no counsel can avail against the Lord.”

TWO-STATE SO-CALLED SOLUTION AND BIDEN’S UPCOMING VISIT TO EAST JERUSALEM

Biden’s upcoming visit to East Jerusalem. Biden will visit a hospital unaccompanied by Israeli officials, which would be viewed as not recognizing Israeli sovereignty over east Jerusalem and partially rolling back Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. No previous US presidents have made similar visits. Such a visit would signify a divided Jerusalem and likely spark disputes within the coalition. Biden’s consideration of a visit to east Jerusalem comes amid a wave of “Palestinian” terrorism against Israelis and Hamas incitement over false claims about Israel making changes to the status quo on the Temple Mount. Biden had promised to reopen the US Consulate to “Palestinians” in Jerusalem (that Trump had closed), but Israel opposes the move, saying it undermines its sovereignty in the capital. Biden is also expected to meet Jordan’s King Abdullah in Washington this week.

Biden’s visit to East Jerusalem will indirectly make the statement that Israel belongs to Muslims. No US president has ever visited this section of Jerusalem. This stands in stark contrast to President Trump, who prayed at the Western Wall. J-Post cited a PA official as saying the presidential visit would be seen as a fulfillment of the US administration’s commitment to the two-state solution.

God will not stand for this and will end up bringing all nations to Armageddon for judgment (Joel 3).

CONCLUDING SCRIPTURE

But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

“Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do” (1 Thessalonians 5:1-11).

Not Yet :: By Charles Gray Adams Jr

 

God has promised many marvelous things to those who love Him, which will not manifest until we are made perfect at the rapture. Many have become shipwrecked because they cannot fathom the fact that God would make a promise that He does not immediately fulfill. Examining the attitudes of those who were most faithful in Scripture will shed light on the ‘not yet’ and how to properly await the yet future rapture. [1]

Hebrews chapter eleven has been called the chapter of the faithful, the hall of faithfulness, or many other names which indicate it includes many examples of the most faithful of the past. Great detail is provided about some, and brief descriptions are included about others. However, in this chapter, all of the faithful greats have this in common:

Hebrews 11:13-16

“These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.” [2]

Hebrews 11:39-40

“And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.”

Included in this last passage is the crux of this article, “God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect” (Heb 11:40b). Like these, we still await many promises which will not be obtained until we are made perfect, and this will not happen until we are, along with all former believers, changed at the rapture. Sadly, many are not content to wait for this change, and in their impatience, they have developed errant beliefs which imply this corruptible vessel can have that which is only available to the incorruptible:

1 Corinthians 15:50-57

“Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Included in the list of the most faithful is Abraham, who was indeed most faithful. In fact, he was so faithful that he was called the father of faith (Rom 4:16-17). Incredibly, this great man of faith is also a great example of what happens when one does not wait for the ‘not yet’ to pass and attempts to help God perform His promises which are, by the way, still in His prevue alone.

At an advanced age, when he was as good as dead (Heb 11:12), Abraham received a promise that he would have a son. In their impatience to have this son, he and Sarah, his wife, concocted a plan to help God, which provided a counterfeit because it involved working things out through fleshly means instead of waiting for God to manifest the authentic. This story is well known as it involves the son of promise, Isaac, and his brother Ishmael who was born after the flesh” (Gal 4:23). Unfortunately, Abraham’s impatience caused a great deal of grief which is still seen today in the Middle East, as those who are from the line of Ishmael still persecute those of the seed of promise, Isaac. But that story is for another day.

Abraham’s impatience is akin to the behavior of many today who simply want all of the promises of God now. The problem is, some promises are not available during the ‘not yet.’ Some of these future promises are: Divine health; prosperity; freedom from sorrow; freedom from pain; freedom from trials; and many other things which are only possible after the ‘not yet.’ The most incredible thing is that the discomfort from not having these things now is actually supposed to cause one to desire the completion of the ‘not yet’ even more. Instead, many decide they will, through the arm of the flesh, follow the example of Abraham and create one Ismael after another in their pursuit of the fulfillment of the impossible. This article will deal with the first of the promises mentioned here, divine health.

Divine Health

The belief that one can live now in divine health is both nonsensical and unscriptural. To the first point, all one needs to do is look around at any family past and present, and the reality of sickness and death is clearly on display. No one can point to one person who has lived forever here on earth. In fact, most live well for as many as seventy years, and then the body begins to break down and falter. The end result of this pattern is always death. This is clearly observable, which makes believing otherwise nonsensical.

Scripture deals with this in a very clear manner. The writer of Hebrews records this, “It is appointed unto man once to die…” (Heb 9:27a). The basis for this statement is derived from what God told man immediately after the fall in the Garden of Eden:

Genesis 3:19

“In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.”

Those who believe in divine health would argue that even though one must die, they should still be able to live without illness of any kind. The problem is, this also is nonsensical and unscriptural. This is nonsensical because no one has ever lived a full life without some type of ailment. Undoubtedly, the eyes begin to fade, and the aches and pains begin to add up as the body grows old. These things are not intended to cause one to panic about the coming end of life. Instead, they are intended to cause one to trust in Christ even more as they see the day approaching.

One additional, very important point should be made about the errant belief that corruptible humans can live in divine health. This belief system is actually saying that Christians are already glorified here on earth, and if this is so, men should never die. Therefore, since the latter is not true, then neither is the former. As a result, this faulty belief also causes great calamity to those who fall for it because, when sickness and death come knocking, faith in divine health is always shaken to the core and destroyed, as it should be. After all, true faith is believing that God is and that He is a rewarder of all who diligently seek Him (Heb 11:6) (not divine health, wealth, or care-free living in general).

The unscriptural aspect of this faulty perception is made clear by the examples offered by the Apostle Paul. Paul prayed three times for the removal of a thorn in the flesh, to which God answered, “My grace is sufficient” (2 Cor 12:9). God wanted Paul to trust in Him rather than what He could do for him. But this is not all that is to be learned from this passage; here is more of the passage for context:

2 Corinthians 12:7-10

“And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.”

Paul was a man who had received incredible revelation from God. Because of this, God allowed this thorn in the flesh to keep him humble. The good news is, Paul chose to accept God’s will and proceeded in weakness, which made him strong in the Lord. Those who desire divine health now are moving in the opposite direction of Paul. They are unable to accept that they may be weakened by some type of malady and that their body may break down and die. Sadly, this causes disbelief in Scripture, which says this physical weakness can actually cause spiritual strength. The result is those who cannot accept this are steadily progressing toward a mindset that removes God from the equation and inserts man’s will as paramount.

This is where many of the false doctrines that plague the church stem from. Such as, man has the authority to heal whomever, whenever so desired. While it is wonderful to desire healing for everyone, the result of this misperception of how God works results in a shift of focus from God to man, and since man is not God, the result will not be what God desires. Think of it this way: in a situation that requires divine intervention, who would you rather call on, man or God?

Before going on, it is very important to understand the point being made here is not that everyone must be sick in order to serve God. Instead, the hope is to provide understanding that God can and does sometimes allow discomfort for the fulfillment of His greater purpose. At this point, some are probably saying that it is always God’s will for us to be healed. The simple answer comes by way of a question, is it? Paul provides some clarity in this regard.

Paul also talked about two others in his sphere of influence that had physical ailments. He spoke of Trophimus, whom he left sick in Miletus (2 Tim 4:20), and he spoke of Timothy’s often infirmities (1 Tim 5:23). These men traveled with the Apostle Paul, and Timothy was one whom Paul could trust to send to churches in his stead (1 Cor 4:17; Phil 2:19). Timothy even went on to become the pastor of the church in Ephesus (1 Tim 1:3).

The point is, these men were deeply involved with the Apostle Paul, who was so anointed that even handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched his skin were taken to the sick whose diseases and evil spirits departed (Acts 19:12). Paul was undoubtedly heavily anointed by God, yet he was unable to heal Trophimus or Timothy. This speaks to the aforementioned fact that God is in charge of the healing and or the weakness which results from the lack of said healing. Remember, this is the same Paul who prayed three times for the thorn in his own flesh to be removed. Clearly, God had greater plans for Paul than the mere removal of his thorn. One could actually argue that Paul’s thorn is what allowed him to have such great faith in God in the midst of all of the many storms, trials, and afflictions he persevered through.

The prophet Elisha was one of the most anointed men in all of the Old Testament as he received a double portion of the spirit that was on his mentor Elijah (2 Kings 2). Elisha performed marvelous exploits in the name of the Lord, yet he still fell sick and died (2 Kings 13:14-19). The reason for including Elisha is to prove that even with great anointing, one can become ill and die. Think not? Elisha was so anointed that even his bones had enough anointing in them after he died to cause a dead man to come back to life:

2 Kings 13:20-21

“And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year. And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.”

The point is, the most anointed of men will still succumb to the ravages of nature, even those who are called for special purposes. The disciples are a good example of this. They followed Jesus for over three years, and they were even commissioned by Him on various occasions to perform the miraculous. However, they were heavily persecuted, and most were martyred for their unwavering faith. Therefore, being a child of the King does not eliminate difficulty, sickness, or death. In fact, Scripture actually indicates otherwise:

Psalm 34:19

“Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.” (emphasis mine)

2 Timothy 3:11

“Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.” (emphasis mine)

Matthew 24:9

“Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.”

Practical Application

Imagine for a second that God desires to accomplish something through a particular person, and He approaches them about performing the task. However, the person has come to believe the misconception that they have full authority to do whatsoever they will, in the name of Jesus. When God attempts to engage this individual, they may be so engaged in fulfilling their own will that they cannot even hear the voice of the Father who would love to commune with them. The following example may help.

The boss shows up to the shop which he left in the care of his employees and finds them performing a task that he had not assigned them, a task that seems good at first glance, but the boss knows something the employees do not. The boss knows the task the employees are engaged in is actually counterproductive because those who would seemingly benefit from the completed task actually need something entirely different than what they will get from the employees who, though well-intentioned, had no way of knowing the true need of the recipient.

Perhaps, this is what God encounters when He visits His children who, believing they are on the appointed task, are running to and fro doing what they think is best. The chief problem is, the will of God is not necessarily considered. The reason for great concern is if God is not in control, who is? The best way to answer this question is to refer to another article, “The Greatest Lie Ever Told: The Origin of all Lies.[3] This article explores the idea that Satan convinced angels and man that they can be as god. Ultimately, believing that man can initiate anything divine is indicative of succumbing to this deception. This is because, until the ‘not yet’ reaches completion and the rapture is experienced, man will remain corruptible.

Conclusion

The ‘not yet’ is a difficult time because many of the promises made to man are unavailable in this corruptible body. This difficulty is actually intended by God as the catalyst to greater faith in Him. The problem is, the definition of faith has been so mutilated by the earthly powers that be (often the most prominent preachers and teachers) that many are confused about the true purpose of faith. Faith is simply believing that God is and, most importantly, He is in control.

Many have become shipwrecked because of the simple misunderstanding of what the ‘not yet’ is. The ‘not yet’ is the time in which every believer lives until the completion of their days, by way of death or the rapture. While waiting, the believer should mimic those inducted into the hall of faithfulness and look for a better heavenly country. With this in mind, the best way to navigate this time is to keep in mind that God is God and man is man, and God’s ways are much higher than man’s.

Isaiah 55:8-9

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

P.S. Perhaps, as the bride of Christ, we should approach this life in the ‘not yet,’ the same way those who enter into marriage do and simply remain faithful, in sickness and in health, until death or the rapture.
