REJECTION OF RATIONALITY: REPROBATES RUNNING RAMPANT

“Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate” (Titus 1:15-16).

From Daymond Duck: Klaus Schwab, head of the World Economic Forum (WEF), said, “We are moving toward global governance for the good of the planet.”… Klaus Schwab was asked what global governance would look like, and he replied, “China.” Massive protests have broken out in many Chinese cities… over China’s Zero-Covid lockdown policy… locked in their houses for more than 3 months, the loss of work, food shortages, lack of medicine, and other grievances. The police are using tear gas and batons, arresting demonstrators, and banning people on social media….

Hatred of Jews and Israel

Biden administration rewards ‘Palestinians’ for terrorism, incitement. This decision to upgrade relations with the P.A. is another sign the U.S. is rewarding ‘Palestinians’ for their ongoing toxic incitement and terrorism against Israel. See also New U.S. envoy hails Biden for ‘elevating’ Palestinian issue, which he said “elevates” the ‘Palestinian’ cause and underlines the administration’s commitment to Palestinian statehood (aka dividing Israel).

Another insane rant by Kanye West against Jews; and he praised Hitler. This man is not someone that anyone who claims to be Christian should follow.

Wars and Rumors of Wars

It would no longer be life as we know it: war in space would have devastating effects, military experts say. Attacks on satellites could take out GPS systems, banking systems, power grids, and affect military operations. China and Russia have demonstrated that they’re capable of doing just that.

Cold and dark: Ukraine’s capital city readies for ‘worst winter of our lives.’ When the power is out, as it often is, the high-rise apartment overlooking Ukraine’s war-torn capital feels like a deathtrap. No lights, no water, no way to cook food, and the risk of not being able to escape in time should a Russian missile strike. Even when electricity comes back, it’s never on for long.

Israel is “on the brink of civil war” between Jews and Arabs, warned Acre Mayor during an emergency conference of the Forum for Security, Governance, and Settlement.

In Syria: New Damascus air defenses activated. The Syrian military and Iranian militia groups in the country have rolled out new, advanced air defense systems near Damascus, aimed at stopping Israeli air strikes in the area. They’ve obtained more sophisticated air defense systems from Korean and Chinese manufacturers. [These new defense systems will come to nothing, according to Isaiah 17.]

Israel and U.S. will have joint aerial exercise to simulate attacks against Iran and its proxies. Israel’s Chief of Staff Lieutenant General said, “We are at a critical point in time that requires the acceleration of cooperation against Iran.” However, God alone will supernaturally destroy the invaders when the Russia/Iran/Turkey, etc., coalition attacks Israel (Ezekiel 38-39). “You shall fall upon the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; I will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured…. Surely it is coming, and it shall be done,’ says the Lord God. ‘This is the day of which I have spoken'” (Ezekiel 39:4, 8).

CONCLUDING SCRIPTURE

Hebrews 3:12-14 “Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end.”

Hebrews 10:35-37 “Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.”

UPDATE ON RAPTURE READY WRITERS:

Several weeks ago, Bill Pierce went home to be with the Lord at age 87. Donald Whitchard wants to let the R.R. family know his medical conditions have stabilized and that everything looks good so far. He’ll be in Dallas from Dec 5-7 at the Pre-Trib Research Conference at the DFW Airport Sheraton in Irving, at the vendors table promoting his book and meeting with people. He’d love to meet with any of you who can attend. He can be reached at his email or number listed on his website: www.realitycityreverend.com. He said he will more than likely be able to start sending articles again at the start of the new year.

Ivan the Terrible

This week I watched a Netflix documentary, “The Devil Next Door.” It presented the story of a Cleveland auto worker accused of being the infamous Treblinka guard known as Ivan the Terrible. John Demjanjuk, ostensibly a Ukrainian refugee/immigrant after World War 2, had been a quiet, unassuming employee at the Ford plant in Cleveland—a model husband, father, and grandfather.

In 1986, Demjanjuk was extradited to Israel and stood trial. He was found guilty and sentenced to hang, but later (dubious?) evidence from the crumbling Soviet Union saved Demjanjuk. He was later stripped of his American citizenship and extradited to Germany, of all places. He died in prison before he could technically, legally, be convicted. Demjanjuk was 91.

As a journalist, I watched the documentary with an open mind. It resembled a heavyweight fight, as both sides traded punches and at any given time, one could be persuaded of his guilt, or consider there was reasonable doubt. In the end (watch it for yourself), I concluded he was Ivan. A very interesting notation on his immigration papers seemed to show that Demjanjuk identified himself as “Ivan Marchenko.” I also felt that relying on a KGB officer was almost laughable, as the KGB files identified another man as Ivan, however as I said, that testimony saved Demjanjuk’s life.

The passage of time, disagreement over a worker’s camp card, and frankly motivations of both sides made this story a bit murkier than you’d like.

Both sides made mistakes at trial. The prosecutor, Michael Shaked, got caught offguard when one compelling witness later appeared to suffer some dementia, thus throwing his identification of Demjanjuk into question. Conversely, the odd defense attorney, Yoram Sheftel, was off-putting for his enjoyment of the whole scene. He even admitted that he loved the spotlight, a very bad look for such a solemn proceeding. Sheftel also made points by mocking the prosecution’s reliance on Soviet records, yet later embraced the same type of evidence from…the KGB officer!

Overall a very weird story. It was also supremely tragic and horrific. Ivan the Terrible was an unusually sadistic madman, which is saying something in that Nazi crowd. In the end, it was proven that Demjanjuk was a guard at nearby Sobibor, and at the time of his death he had been charged as an accessory in 27,000 murders.

This was the most disturbing aspect of Demjanjuk’s story; he denied any knowledge of murders and basically claimed to be a completely innocent bystander of war, himself an innocent victim. It wasn’t credible. Of course, in order to play all this out, he had to claim complete innocence. It wouldn’t do to admit that, yes, he had been a guard, but blah, blah, blah.

He died never having admitted any complicity whatsoever. That Israel’s Supreme Court let him go after the KGB evidence came forward made the emotional pain in Israel all the more gut-wrenching. Sheftel was considered a traitor by his own people and I’m surprised he’s still around.

Demjanjuk was the biggest villain to be tried in Israel since the inhuman Adolph Eichmann in 1961. The court testimony was chilling.

I mention all this because my real takeaway from it all was much broader than just a retired autoworker from Cleveland, Ohio. I paid close attention to both his neighbors and family’s views of it all, as well as the German people.

It was a reminder that anti-Semitism is alive and well, unfortunately. Now, it is obvious that a man’s family will fight for him. The Demjanjuk family never wavered, particularly the son-in-law. Neighbors closed ranks around them. And the broader “Ukrainian-American” community in Cleveland behaved very much like the shadowy Odessa group that shielded Nazi war criminals in the years after the war. They either were silent, or made it known that they were afraid further inquiries about war criminals might implicate more in the community. All in all, this particular group was, shall we say, unsympathetic to the victims of the Holocaust.

 

At the end of the day, we are confronted with the same problem that has always existed: a lot of people hate Jews. In light of the insane comments from Kanye West this week—in which he lauded Hitler during an interview with the discredited Alex Jones—I am dismayed by the Jew-hatred that clearly exists even in America (long a haven for Jews).

Whoever he was, John Demjanjuk went to meet his Maker. As we all will.

When I meet mine, I will not have to tell Him why I hated the Jews.
