Warning Signs Are Everywhere

EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS

U.S. Wildfires in the West currently raging have burned combined area bigger than Delaware as of July 21. At least 78 large fires across 13 states have collectively burned 1,346,736 acres (2,104 square miles). Five firefighters were injured fighting the Devil’s Creek fire in Montana when a sudden wind blew the fire onto their position.

Oregon: Private wells running dry as serious drought conditions and government resource controls threaten people’s lives. The water supply is centrally managed and supplies irrigation water to the most important farms in the Klamath Basin. The Bureau also redirects the water to the Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge and the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge. Rural landowners and small farmers are cut off from the water supply, making it even tougher to survive the longstanding drought. During previous droughts, the farmers were able to irrigate much of their land by using the surface water. This year is different because the Klamath Project is using irrigation canals to control the water.

Europe: Death toll from catastrophic flooding has risen to at least 199 as of July 19 with hard-hit West Germany and Belgium reeling from the devastation. Nearly 300 remain unaccounted for. German authorities said it’s the worst flood in 500 years. Portions of the rail network in Western Europe could be out of service for months or years.

Canada: Farmers report massive crop damage in heat wave affecting much of the country.

Typhoon In-Fa. After lashing Okinawa in Japan and causing six injuries July 23, the typhoon is heading towards China, landfall expected July 25, after already catastrophic flooding has killed at least 58 people and left a number missing in central China. Extremely heavy rains began July 16 and intensified July 20 with Typhoon Cempaka. The flooding was labeled by media as a “once in a thousand years event.” Emergency crews are still working around the clock to rescue survivors and provide aid to the tens of millions affected. In-Fa could bring more torrential downpours to the stricken region in the coming days, and officials fear it could hamper rescue and recovery efforts.

Typhoon In-Fa caused heavy rain, landslides, and rockfalls to mountain districts in Taiwan.

Japan: Typhoon and extreme heat pose new threat to trouble-hit Tokyo Olympics. The storm warning comes as Team G.B. athletes deal with rollercoaster weather conditions, dangerously high temperatures.

India: At Least 20 Killed in Mumbai Landslides and Floods July 17-18 due to heavy rains. Dozens injured. July 21-23: Widespread floods hit central India; roads cut off as rivers overflow in Maharashtra. Massive rescue operations are ongoing across the state, and the number of casualties is rising.

New Zealand: Marlborough hit by its largest-ever recorded flood on July 17.

Oman: Unseasonal rains caused severe floods, leaving 4 dead, 3 missing over the past week. More rain was forecast for the coming days.

Turkey: Heavy rains caused another round of severe flooding July 22. The event comes just a week after six people were killed and two others went missing in Rize.

Iran: Not a drop to drink: Water shortages cause wave of protests. Unrest in Iran’s oil-rich southwest as the country faces its worst drought in half a century.

Brazil: Historic crop loss from severe frost over past three weeks, with more on the way. After several destructive cold waves, another blast is expected July 24-25, another at the end of the month.

LAWLESSNESS, WICKEDNESS ABOUNDS

Ambush attacks on police officers up 91% in 2021 compared to last year. 150 officers shot this year as of June 30; 28 killed.

Oregon: 8 People Shot in Portland Mass Shooting as City Gets More Dangerous by the Day. The latest shooting took place near where months of riots have taken place in 2020 and 2021.

Watch: California Shoplifters Stroll Out of T.J. Maxx, Arms Full of Merchandise in yet another example of California’s decline under Democrat leadership. Seven months ago, L.A. District Attorney Gascón announced his office would no longer prosecute misdemeanor crimes such as shoplifting.

Mexican highway robbers stole 7 million rounds of US-bound ammunition.

LAST DAYS OF LOT RETURNED

Eli Lilly Pharmaceutical Company’s Disturbing Ad: “While there are a number of concerning elements in the commercial, including a transgender man wearing flashy makeup, one of the most heartbreaking and confusing parts of the ad is this statement: “Because the body you are randomly assigned at birth shouldn’t determine how well you are cared for.” This voice-over is heard while showing a woman with double mastectomy scars wearing an open robe and identifying as a man. Can you imagine what goes through the mind of a child when he or she sees this ad?”

Judge rejects churches’ challenge to Virginia’s LGBT so-called ‘antidiscrimination’ law. “[The Act] puts ministries in an impossible position: they must either abandon religious convictions they were founded upon, or be ready to face investigations, an onerous administrative process, fines up to $100,000 for each violation, unlimited compensatory and punitive damages and attorney-fee awards, and court orders forcing them to engage in actions that would violate their consciences,” stated the suit, in part. “Even posting their religious beliefs on their own websites could subject ministries to prosecution and exorbitant fines. These penalties could easily exceed a million dollars, ruin the ministries financially, and make continuing their Christian missions impossible.”

Transgender Biological Male Cleared to Compete in Women’s Weightlifting in Tokyo Olympics.

Kataluna Enriquez, 1st transgender to win Miss Nevada USA, speaks out on overcoming challenges to claim the title. “I’d love to be the first Asian woman to win a title of Miss USA and the first trans woman,” said Enriquez. “I think that will be a great example for moving forward to create a better future in our country…. We cannot wait to spread our colors on the Miss USA stage.”

ABORTION ABOMINATION

PURE EVIL: Pelosi Echoes Eugenicist Margaret Sanger and Promotes Abortions for Poor Women (VIDEO). Margaret Sanger would be so proud. And she did this while promoting her Catholic upbringing.

APOSTASY; DOCTRINES OF DEMONS

Canada finds 160 more unmarked children’s graves at another Roman Catholic Boarding School. OVER 1,000 SO FAR. Calls for an investigation into “crimes against humanity” in Canada have intensified.

“For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known” (Luke 12:2).

United Church of Christ Continues It’s Shameful Anti-Israel Theology, ETC. Thankfully, most Christians have recognized the UCC as an apostate church, and have left in droves. Besides its Pro-Abortion clergy, support of LGTB church leadership and Transgender church services, its hatred of Israel has been a regular feature at its annual general meetings.

HATRED OF ISRAEL

Group observes 9th of Av by praying for Israel’s demise. Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), a left-wing anti-Israel group in the U.S., observed Tisha B’av (Jewish holy day commemorating destruction of the Jewish Temples and subsequent destruction of the Biblical Kingdoms of Israel) by “praying” for the destruction of modern Israel. JVP has embraced and advocated on behalf of ‘Palestinian’ terrorists and regularly justifies and excuses ‘Palestinian’ violence. The largest chunk of funding comes from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, which is linked to anti-Israel groups like J-Street and the New Israel Fund.

PLAGUE AND FAMINE…

Africa: 400,000 people in the Tigray region of Ethiopia experiencing catastrophic levels of hunger with millions more at risk in the worst catastrophic food crisis in decades. The largely agricultural Tigray region of about 6 million already had a food security problem amid a locust outbreak when Prime Minister Ahmed on Nov. 4 announced fighting between his forces and those of the defiant regional government. Atrocities against civilians are being committed. Many have been killed or displaced from their homes. A large number have fled to Sudan. The bloody eight-month battle has spilled over into the neighboring region of Afar in the past week where there is also a desperate need for food, water and emergency shelter. Four million people across Tigray, Amhara and Afar need emergency assistance of some kind.

FOOD SHORTAGES; PRICES CONTINUE TO RISE

Grocery Prices Could Possibly Rise 10 to 14% by October, Grocery Chain CEO Warns. Grocery chain CEO John Catsimatidis warned that his industry is seeing skyrocketing costs on the supply chain side, and businesses will have to raise prices for consumers as a result. Consumer price inflation can ultimately be traced back to policy decisions made by the federal government. Remember whose policies got us here in the first place.

England’s “Freedom Day” Dulled by Looming Food Shortages.

…AND THE PLANNED-DEMIC

Pfizer begins Covid vaccine trial on infants and young children. Pfizer has started a clinical trial testing its vaccine on healthy children aged 6 months to 11. Public health officials and so-called infectious disease experts claim it’s a crucial step in obtaining federal regulatory clearance to get young children vaccinated and controlling the pandemic, and that the U.S. is unlikely to achieve herd immunity until children get vaccinated.

Lawsuit Against CDC Based on ‘Sworn Declaration’ from Whistleblower Claiming 45,000 Deaths are Reported to VAERS – All Within 3 Days of COVID-19 Shots. An alleged whistleblower claims to have inside knowledge of a cover-up of reported deaths filed with Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), operated by the CDC. The whistleblower has allegedly claimed, under oath, that at least 45,000 reported deaths have occurred within 3 days of receiving a COVID “vaccine.” This report is just from “one system” that reports to VAERS. This would be significantly greater than the CDC currently reports, which is 10,991 deaths, and many of those are beyond 3 days following the shots. Renz, the attorney filing the lawsuit with help from America’s Frontline Doctors, also believes Google, Facebook, and Twitter are “complicit with causing death” due to their censorship.

U.S. Biden Bunch Now Sending Vaccine Injectors with the Door-to-Door’ Convincers.’

Biden At CNN Town Hall Meeting Lied About COVID Vaccine Protections While Exhibiting Signs of Advancing Dementia. “If you’re vaccinated, you’re not going to be hospitalized… you’re not going to die… you’re not going to get COVID…,” he said. Yet there have been cases in which this has happened with the vaccination or getting Covid afterward. He was incoherent at times during the meeting.

While Biden makes his false claim (above), Jen Psaki Refuses to Say How Many Breakthrough COVID Cases There Are Among White House Staff After Fully Vaccinated Texas Fleebaggers Superspreader. See more on this under the Last Days Traitors section in this article.

American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) demands all children over age 2 wear face masks at schools and nurseries, a suggestion that goes further than previous restrictions. The demand goes further than that of the CDC, which has said children and adults who work in schools who are fully vaccinated don’t need to wear masks. The AAP is echoing Fauci, who last week called for all children older than 2 to be forced to wear masks.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell Warned Another Lockdown Is Coming If Americans Continue to Refuse Vaccinations.

Why Are Soros and Gates Buying UK COVID Testing Company? This isn’t the first time Gates and Soros have ‘collaborated.’ In 2015, a Jeffrey Epstein-funded think tank, the International Peace Institute, hosted a “Preparing for Pandemics” conference in Geneva – with senior officials from the Gates Foundation, Open Society, WHO, CDC, Red Cross and Pasteur Institute in attendance.

EXPOSING LAST DAYS TRAITORS

Reaping What They’ve Sown: Vaccinated Pelosi and Biden aides test positive for COVID. The ‘Texas Fleebaggers,’ the group of Democrats who fled Texas on a plane to Washington so they could not be compelled to vote on upcoming legislation they disagreed with, became superspreaders, not only infecting themselves, but COVID made its way all the way up to Nancy Pelosi. All parties involved were fully vaccinated. Outrage from Liberal media? Zero.

“We’ve Got to Fight Disinformation,” says Empire Made Entirely of Disinformation. The weirdest thing about the Biden administration tasking itself with censorship of “disinformation” on social media is that the U.S. is the hub of a globe-spanning empire built upon a foundation of disinformation, maintained by disinformation, and facilitated by disinformation.

Leftists are Desperate to Pack the Supreme Court with Liberals. The U.S. Supreme Court issued two 6-3 decisions as it completed its last term, causing Democrats to renew their call for expanding the number of justices by 4. Under Biden, this would result in more liberal justices to uphold the Dem Party’s agenda. The left’s court-packing scheme, if successful, will weaken the constitutional system of checks and balances that preserves the American Republic and protects against tyranny.

Sanders, Warren, Ocasio-Cortez Should Get on A Raft, Sail to Cuba. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) ripped Democrats in Congress who have championed leftist policies, saying they should try life in Cuba as he snapped, “Just once I want to see some left-wing socialist — I want to see Bernie Sanders, I want to see Elizabeth Warren, I want to see AOC go down to Key West, get on a raft, and sail 90 miles south to the socialist paradise…. Their ideas don’t work; tyranny doesn’t work…”

Evils of Marxism-Socialism-Communism

New Zealand: Chinese Communist Party spies in universities, lecturers suspect. Think this is something new or is only in New Zealand? Think again. Here’s a report from 2019: China sending ‘thousands’ of spies to U.S. colleges.

Cuba Protesters Warn Americans Who Like Che Guevara: “He Was a #&%$! Terrorist.” About the current protests in Cuba against the evil ruling regime, there are reports of police engaging in door-to-door raids, shooting and possibly killing unarmed protesters in their homes, in front of their families. At least one video smuggled out of the country this week showed police opening fire on a protester in his living room, in front of his toddler children and his wife.

NATION (ETHNIC) AGAINST NATION (ETHNIC): Marxist takedown of the USA

WATCH: Project Veritas exposes critical race theory indoctrination at toy company Hasbro. A program developed by ‘The Conscious Kid’ is working with Hasbro to teach children about racial bias at an early age. The program claims children show racial bias as young as three to six months. It’s absurd!

BORDER DISORDER

Ballooning number of ‘gotaways’ poses public safety, national security risk. At least 270,000 migrants have sneaked into the U.S. and burrowed into communities across the country so far this fiscal year, according to the latest Border Patrol data.

ISLAMIC TERRORISM

Iraq: Bombing at Baghdad market. At least 30 people were killed and dozens wounded. The Islamic State group (ISIS) claimed responsibility, saying one of its members detonated an explosive vest. ISIS even kills other Muslims whom they consider do not follow the Quran to the letter.

WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS

Taliban Now Boasts Control Over 90% Of Afghan Border Areas, after so many decades of fighting against the Islamist terrorist regime and many lives lost. The Taliban strategy is likely to keep methodically advancing around major urban centers, waiting for the moment to strike big cities like Kabul after the final and full American troop departure.

Two Israeli airstrikes in Syria this week. The first attack on Monday targeted a precision missile facility belonging to pro-Iranian militias and the Assad regime near Aleppo. The strike on Thursday was aimed against military targets belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization, pro-Iranian militias and members of Iran’s clandestine Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps at the al-Sharyat military airport east of Homs. Depending on which source you research, five pro-Iranian militia members were killed, either in Monday’s or Thursday’s attack.

Israeli retaliatory strike on Lebanon. The IDF fired artillery shells into Lebanon Monday night after two rockets were fired at northern Israel from Lebanon, triggering sirens in the Western Galilee area.

VIDEO: China Threatens to NUKE Japan if It Defends Taiwan.

Thinking The Unthinkable – War with China May Be Inevitable. The Biden administration is formally blaming the Chinese government for a large-scale cyberattack on Microsoft. The White House and governments in Europe and Asia identified China’s Ministry of State Security with using “criminal contract hackers” to conduct a range of destabilizing activities around the world for personal profit, including the Microsoft hack. A cyberattack of this magnitude is an act of war, and we’re told that sensitive systems all over the country were compromised. As part of the attack, an unidentified American company was also hit with a high-dollar ransom demand.

‘Peace and Security’ Call for the Covenant with Death and Hell. The ‘Palestinian’ Authority’s Hussein Al-Sheikh said the P.A. is ready for direct talks with Israel. Al-Sheikh is head of the P.A. General Authority of Civil Affairs, which serves as a liaison between the so-called ‘Palestinians’ and Israel. Al-Sheikh chairs the dialogue between the ‘Palestinian’ government and the United States administration.

CONCLUSION

In Daymond Duck’s article titled “Warnings,” which will be posted by July 25 on the Rapture Ready website, he says that God always warns before His judgments fell, and we’re watching the development of events that were prophesied 2,000-2,500 years ago.

Instagram: The Vanguard of Vanity

The first king of social media was Myspace, then came Twitter and Facebook, and now a new site is taking over the reins. Instagram is a site primarily used for posting pictures and short videos.

Originally launched for iOS in October 2010, Instagram rapidly gained popularity, with one million registered users in two months, 10 million in a year, and 1 billion as of June 2018.

Instagram is owned by Facebook, which bought the company for $1 billion in 2012. With the firm now said to be worth $100 billion, Mark Zuckerberg did quite well on his investment.

As of June 2021, the most followed person is Portuguese professional soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo, with over 300 million followers. The most followed woman is American singer Ariana Grande, with 251 followers. I found a list of the top 50 accounts on Instagram, and over 90% of the list is dominated by people who are known for their looks.

I’ve spent a couple of weeks trying to understand the platform. Because I normally work with PC, I quickly realized this domain is meant to be run on a smartphone. I also made the determination that Instagram sets a new low in self-worship. I would call the site the Vanguard of Vanity. If you are considered to be eye-candy, you can join the club. If you have no talent or looks, you can go somewhere else.

The primary goal on Instagram is to get the highest number of people to follow you. You post pictures and hope for a large number of likes. People can also post comments, and these can lead into the thousands. The average comment is not in any language. People mostly post symbols of hearts, fire, and an assortment of smiley faces.

On Kylie Jenner’s account, she has images that have been viewed millions of times, and there might be 30,000 comments to her post. There is almost zero chance that Jenner is going to see the posts. I looked on dozens of posts and couldn’t find any comment that Jenner gave any response.

I probably lost a few IQ points skimming through Instagram pages. On 4 January 2019, someone posted an image of a bird egg with the caption, “Let’s set a world record together and get the most liked post on Instagram.” Within days, the egg photo got 54 million likes.

For every Justin Bieber with 183 million followers, there are millions with hardly any followers. I found one guy who works as a model who had one million followers. I did some test inputs by responding to some of his posts. At first, I was amazed that he liked my comments, but I quickly learned that he likes everyone’s comments. He and millions of other people are wasting huge amounts of time on this site.

I read a few articles that said this model was having mental health issues. I posted my concern on his Instagram account about his mental well-being, and not a single person shared my concern. One woman said he was “thriving,” and I should check on my own mental health. He may be thriving at age 24, but where will he be at age 34? At some point, the phone is going to stop ringing because his looks have faded, and younger models have taken his place on the catwalks.

You don’t get to be a star on Instagram for very long. The singer Madonna only has 16 million Instagram followers. If this were 1985, she would likely have over 200 million followers. Instagram fame only lasts as long as you remain very attractive.

If social media had existed in the 1800s, the top accounts would be by authors, ministers, and politicians. Today, you can have an IQ of 70 and be a star on Instagram.

Social media sites like Instagram have driven people to levels of self-promotion that God never intended. Many people have become slaves to what the public thinks of them. It’s nice to be famous, but it doesn’t guarantee happiness. God’s word says that pride generally results in a negative outcome:

“Pride leads to destruction; a proud attitude brings ruin” (Proverbs 16:18).

Anyone who tries to promote their own greatness does not deserve any respect. Greatness can only come from the praise of other people. The only lasting praise is what God thinks of our lives.

“Don’t praise yourself. Let someone else do it. Let the praise come from a stranger and not your own mouth” (Proverbs 27:2).

–Todd


God’s Weather Warnings

There is, at first glance, perhaps a paradox in our take on the matter of climate change. When I say “our,” I mean those of us in Bible prophecy circles who examine the climate-change matter, which is considered by the Biden administration people to be the greatest crisis faced by mankind today.

The seeming incongruity in our thought process comes by considering the following. While we believe that there is no climate change in terms of the definition given by those on the ideological left, we acknowledge that climate change indeed does exist. And it is becoming exponentially more manifest.

Those who are in the man is destroying the planet camp proclaim all who disagree with that premise to be climate-change deniers. They vehemently declare the same about anyone who disagrees with their dire assessments on any crisis as they delve, in full rage, into whatever problem they believe they must strive to control in their insatiable quest for ever-increasing power. For example, anyone who opposes their claims that COVID-19 is the deadliest virus in modern times is a pandemic denier, and, no doubt, an anti-vaxxer.

Not too many months ago, I have to admit, I was somewhat of a climate-change skeptic, to say the least. And I yet hold that, regarding those earlier times, I still can’t point back to them and see changes in the planet’s weather patterns as being extreme to the point of representing changes of the profound sort.

The evidence is now compounding, however. Reports from around the world of drastic weather events, especially involving flooding and at the same time droughts, continue to erase the skepticism.

Some of the reports just in recent days blazed across our Rapture Ready News headlines. I’ve put a few of these here to display the compiling evidence.

  • Europe floods: Rescuers race to find survivors as hundreds remain missing

Rescue crews have been racing to find survivors of floods that have wreaked havoc across western Europe, killing more than 150 people. Hundreds are still missing after record rainfall triggered severe floods in Germany and Belgium. Heavy rains also hit Switzerland, Luxembourg and the Netherlands – where PM Mark Rutte has declared a national disaster in one southern province.

  • Flagstaff declares state of emergency as Arizona hit by devastating floods

Parts of Arizona have been hit with devastating flooding, with the city of Flagstaff declaring a state of emergency after being inundated with torrents of water that turned streets into murky, fast-running streams.

  • Amid a mega drought, federal water shortage limits loom for the Colorado River

The Colorado River is tapped out. Another dry year has left the watershed that supplies 40 million people in the Southwest parched. A prolonged 21-year warming and drying trend is pushing the nation’s two largest reservoirs to record lows.

  • “Wither away and die”: U.S. Pacific Northwest heat wave bakes wheat, fruit crops

An unprecedented heat wave and ongoing drought in the U.S. Pacific Northwest is damaging white wheat coveted by Asian buyers and forcing fruit farm workers to harvest in the middle of the night to salvage crops and avoid deadly heat.

  • Extreme flooding hits multiple provinces of China, capital Beijing brought to standstill

Prolonged heavy rainfall affecting parts of China over the past couple of days caused extreme flooding in several provinces, including Sichuan, Hebei, Shaanxi, Henan, and Shandong. Severe thunderstorms also affected the capital Beijing, bringing the entire city to a standstill. On July 12, authorities have issued an orange alert, the 2nd highest in the country’s 4-tier weather warning system.

  • Flash floods cause travel chaos in parts of London

Heavy rain has caused flash floods in various parts of London. Cars have been submerged as roads filled with water while train services have also been cancelled. Photos on social media showed parts of south-west London including Barnes, Raynes Park and Richmond had been affected, as had areas of north London including Golders Green and Highgate.

  • Shandong hit by largest tornado outbreak in more than a decade, China

Eastern China’s Shandong Province was hit by its largest tornado outbreak in more than 10 years on July 11, 2021. At least 10 tornadoes were reported, with at least 3 of them [reported as] violent. The reports are still coming in and the number of reported tornadoes is rising.

  • Extremely heavy rains hit Kyushu, JMA issues year’s first Level 5 torrential rain alert, Japan

The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) has issued its highest level rain alert for parts of Kyushu, southwestern Japan on Saturday, July 10, 2021, leading local authorities to instruct hundreds of thousands to take immediate safety measures. Reports of river flooding and landslides are coming in.

The floods and droughts are not merely seasonal occurrences. They are indeed phenomenal weather events, and they are in unprecedented, multiple numbers—occurring almost simultaneously in most every part of the planet.

So this prophecy watcher, at least, fully recognizes that something of last-days significance is taking place almost daily. The way I and others who are likewise watchers differ from the leftists who claim there is climate change is they see it as man-made, while we see it as God-induced.

It is a foreboding weather warning from on high. The storm that’s coming is the Tribulation. The Lord, we sense, is warning of things to come by way of His judgment and wrath.

He wants all to come to repentance. He wants no one to be caught in that final great, destructive storm.

The rebellious, progressive mindset declares that man alone can fix the climate. They are making a globalists-elite-engendered, Mother Earth worship system to do exactly that, they think. We know, on the other hand, that only God can either break or fix the planet He, alone, controls. 

The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place? (Psalms 24: 1–3)
