Fast and Furious :: By Daymond Duck

The fulfillment of Bible prophecy has become fast and furious, so this article is longer than usual.

Consider the following facts:

One, concerning world government: on May 7, 2021, Dave Hodges reported on The Common Sense Show that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is demanding a global tax in advance of global governance.

Two, a reader sent me an e-mail that said:

  • “I’m picking up a lot of noise from the Global Reset mob regarding all world nations/governments being coerced/forced to immediately agree to compulsory inoculation of everyone with no exceptions.”
  • “I expect that most of the world’s diverse populations WILL readily accept this because it will be sold as the only alternative to prevent 3rd/4th etc., waves of the virus.”
  • The next few weeks (not months) should indicate to any thinking person (prepared to do some research of their own) whether I’m on the money or simply an alarmist.

Three, on May 5, 2021, Breitbart carried information from a Guardian article that said, “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that the birth rate in the U.S. fell by four percent in 2020 — the largest yearly drop in five decades.”

According to the article, “The findings echo a recent Associated Press analysis of 2020 data from 25 states showing that births had fallen during the coronavirus outbreak.” (The writer’s comment: Some pundits believe one purpose of the so-called Covid Crisis is population reduction. In fact, a former vice president of Pfizer said future vaccinations “could be used for mass murder.”)

(This writer’s comment: For whatever it is worth, it is not hard to find articles that say the U.S. government and CDC understate reports of adverse reactions to the vaccinations.)

  • On May 6, 2021, Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson “cited government statistics showing more Americans have died after getting the COVID vaccine (average is 30 people per day) in four months than from all other vaccines combined in more than a decade and a half.”
  • Carlson said, “The number of deaths is likely much higher than what VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) is reporting.”

(This writer’s comment: Others have had blood clots, strokes, gone blind, been paralyzed for life, and more. According to a committee of academics in the UK, death and other adverse reactions will be much greater by the time people take their third round of vaccinations if they are not significantly improved.)

Four, concerning mandatory Covid vaccination: a May 6, 2021 blog by Stephen Kokx, Content Marketing Manager for LifeSiteNews.com. says:

  • “Big Pharma doesn’t want healthy people; it wants customers.” (This writer’s comment: Big Pharma is making multiplied billions of dollars from their effort to force everyone on earth to be vaccinated, get booster shots, perhaps be vaccinated for variants the rest of their life, etc. On May 7, 2021, there was a report on a March 16, 2021 article titled, “Pfizer execs discuss hiking the vaccine price after pandemic wanes.”)
  • “The global medical establishment not only rejects but detests the idea that the human body is a temple of the Holy Spirit.” (Writer’s comment: They contribute large sums of money to globalists that are trying to establish a godless world government.)
  • “The pressure being put on every man, woman, and now child to get the COVID sludge injected into their veins is an all-out assault on the human person as a creature made in the image and likeness of God.” (This writer’s comment: Globalists and Big Pharma are ignoring the fact that some ‘misleadingly-labeled vaccine[s]’ alter the DNA of the vaccinated, and this could lead to major religious implications.)

Five, in a LifeSiteNews.com article on May 6, 2021, Doug Mainwaring reported that The American Journal of Therapeutics has published a research paper calling for Ivermectin to be “globally & systematically deployed as a treatment for COVID-19.”

  • Mainwaring wrote that “Many have wondered if perhaps governments and Big Pharma have an agenda to push the vaccine while eliminating cheaper, more effective ways of treating the coronavirus.”
  • “They (the authors of the study) cite many examples of ‘Ivermectin distribution campaigns leading to rapid population-wide decreases in morbidity and mortality,’ prompting them to conclude that as an oral agent, ivermectin is “effective in all phases of COVID-19.”
  • The authors of the study wrote, “In the context of Ivermectin’s long-standing safety record, low cost, and wide availability along with the consistent, reproducible, large magnitude of findings on transmission rates, need for hospitalization, and mortality, widespread deployment in both prevention and treatment has been proposed.”

The article is loaded with more information from the study.

Six, concerning forced vaccinations: on May 7, 2021, Bill Koenig wrote, “This is all rapidly leading to a one-world political order, one-world religious order, one-world financial order. It is leading to kingdoms against kingdoms and final-day pandemics that will lead to massive deaths spoken of in the Bible.”

Concerning kingdoms against kingdoms: the Bible clearly says the Antichrist will go forth “conquering, and to conquer” (Rev. 6:2); he will receive power from Satan, and people will ask, “who is able to make war with him?” (Rev. 13:4).

Seven, Pres. Biden fully supports a godless world government.

  • Biden is the Pres. that asked a “Christian” preacher friend to offer the benediction at his inauguration, and the prayer was closed, not in the name of Jesus, but “in the strong name of our collective faith.”
  • This is the kind of thinking that left God out of the Democrat Party Platform.
  • The Biden administration denied a permit for prayer at the Capitol on the National Day of Prayer.
  • The U.S. national motto is “One nation under God,” our money has “In God we trust on it,” but Biden issued a proclamation on the National Day of Prayer, and that did not mention God even once (he is the only Pres. to do this since the National Day of Prayer was initiated, and he calls himself a good Catholic.).
  • A misnamed bill, called the “For the People Act” (some call it the “Equality Act”), has been introduced in Congress that decreases the rights of Christians and faith-based groups, and will most surely lead to persecution of Christians.
  • Some of our leaders seem to be inadvertently begging for the Tribulation Period to begin and the judgment of God to fall on the U.S.

Eight, many Democrats support the globalist desire for nations to surrender their sovereignty to a world government, eliminate patriotism and nationalism, and refer to citizens as citizens of the world instead of their nation.

The U.S. has held a Memorial Day parade to honor our veterans for 101 years, but the permit for a parade in 2021 has been denied supposedly to prevent the spread of Covid.

But Black Lives Matter rioters and looters were not only allowed to march in a parade; they were encouraged to do so, and Mayor DeBlasio participated and painted “Black Lives Matter” on a street in Manhattan.

Veterans’ groups plan to sue the city of New York for discrimination against veterans, if the city continues to refuse their permit.

Nine, concerning the Russian invasion of Ukraine: it has been estimated that Russia had more than 100,000 troops on the Ukraine’s border.

Russia told world leaders those troops would be withdrawn by May 1, 2021.

On May 6, 2021, it was reported that the U.S. estimates that Russia still has not removed about 80,000 troops, and those that withdrew left most of their weapons behind, enabling them to rapidly return if Russia tells them to.

Two Ukrainian soldiers were killed in skirmishes this week, bringing the total to 36 for the year.

Ten, in Mar. 2021, the Biden administration put a clause in its Covid Relief Plan (called the America Rescue Plan Act of 2021) that provides $4 billion debt forgiveness for black farmers and ranchers, but not white farmers and ranchers.

Businesses owned by women and minorities can also get debt forgiveness for up to $10 million (not more than $5 per location), but white men that own restaurants will be last in line and must hope the money does not run out.

If the Democratic Party’s forgiveness of debts is based on the color of one’s skin is not racism, what is it?

Eleven, concerning global hyperinflation and an economic collapse during the Tribulation Period (Rev. 6:5-6): on May 4, 2021, it was reported that the average price of a new home in the U.S. has increased by $35,872 in one year.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the price of lumber is more than 4 times what it should be for this time of the year.

It has been reported that the cost of renting a house will surge, and homeowners shouldn’t be surprised if the cost of their house insurance soars.

(This writer’s comment: Some existing houses are selling for more than the asking price because real estate agents and speculators know that fuel prices, the retirement or resignation of truckers in large Democrat-run cities because of the Defund the Police movement, and other things are causing the number of people that can afford a new house to dwindle fast. Readers that are planning to sell their current house should take note of this.)

  • On May 10, 2021, there was a report that U.S. national debt is now increasing at the rate of about 1 million dollars per minute.

Twelve, concerning the effort to silence former Pres. Trump’s opposition to world government and the surrender of U.S. sovereignty: on May 4, 2021, Trump announced the launch of a new platform called “From the Desk of Donald J. Trump” at www.DonaldJTrump.com/desk.

Thirteen, concerning a covenant of peace in the Middle East: on May 7, 2021, it was reported that Jared Kushner has created a group called the “Abraham Accords Institute for Peace” to strengthen the normalization agreements between Israel, the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco.

The group will include advisors from some of the Arab nations, Democrats, and others that are interested in peace.

Fourteen, concerning corrupt government: according to Caroline Glick, a highly respected Israeli journalist, the U.S. will soon have a two-tiered justice system “where favored groups are protected, and disfavored groups are left to fend for themselves.”

Fifteen, more on corrupt government: massive fraud is being found in the audit of voting in Arizona, and Democrats are in a frenzy to stop the audit. (The DOJ is even threatening auditors with criminal prosecution over their involvement in the audit.)

  • Maricopa County officials are ignoring subpoenas from the state legislature.
  • They are refusing to provide routers demanded by the state senate.
  • There has been testimony that the election was run by Dominion employees, a private company with ties to China, instead of Maricopa County officials that were supposed to be in charge.
  • This is the only audit of its kind in the U.S., and if the Dept. of Justice, Supreme Court, and others had not been corrupted, the globalists probably would not be in a position to surrender America’s sovereignty today. But do not worry, God knew about their godless world government before the foundation of the world, He has an amazing plan to protect His people (the Rapture), and He will deal with it (the Tribulation Period).
  • The audit should be finished next week.

Sixteen, more on corrupt government, Jesus said the last days will be like the days of Noah when the wickedness of man was great (Matt. 24:37).

There seems to be a deliberate effort to increase violence in the U.S.

  • The U.S. border with Mexico has been thrown wide open to terrorists, drug cartels, and others.
  • Officials have banned most deportations of illegal aliens, they want them to vote, etc.
  • Officials are giving amnesty to illegal aliens, not allowing the Border Patrol to do their job, etc.
  • Officials have bailed rioters and looters out of jail and allowed them to continue burning down buildings, destroy police cars, etc.
  • Officials have reduced police protection with the “Defund the Police” movement, released criminals from prison early, etc.

Seventeen, concerning God giving people over to a reprobate mind (Rom. 1:28): the CDC has started referring to expectant women as “people who are pregnant” and “people who are breastfeeding” because they do not want to call them mothers, women, or females, and now a Democrat from Missouri is calling them “birthing people.”

They even pretend that people do not know what gender they are, and people can call themselves any gender they want, although God said there are two genders.

There was a time when professional groups called this a mental illness, but now many celebrate it and say those that oppose it hate people.

Something Franklin Graham said covers this: “You can argue all you want, you can try and deny the Truth all you want, but God’s Word is the final arbiter.”

Eighteen, on May 8, 2021, Jonathan Cahn released his latest prophetic message (about 33 min.), revealing his unique understanding of what is going on and what to do.

This writer strongly recommends it, and here is the link. https://youtu.be/L9hd9AIgmL4

Nineteen, according to the Bible, Jerusalem will be a cup of trembling and a burdensome stone for the whole world at the end of the age (Zech. 12:2-3).

The first 10 days of May 2021 have brought violence in Jerusalem, at the Temple Mount, and in Judea and Samaria.

  • On May 7, 2021, widespread violence injured 17 Israeli police (about half had to be hospitalized) and 205 Palestinians (many carried away on stretchers).
  • On May 8, 2021, 1 Israeli police officer and 90 Palestinians (14 hospitalized) were injured.
  • On May 9, 2021, the IDF announced that Israel will be sending 3 more battalions of troops to the area to try to calm the situation.
  • On May 9, 2021, the UN Security Council met in an emergency session, condemned the Palestinian violence, and urged Israel to halt eviction plans in East Jerusalem.
  • On May 10, 2021, it was reported that the violence is escalating, and more than 150 rockets have been fired into Israel so far. Several were fired at Jerusalem; 1 house was hit, and the Israeli Knesset had to evacuate.
  • On May 10-11, 2021, more than 200 rockets were fired into Israel, killing 2 Israeli women, injuring about 70 Israeli soldiers, and damaging many structures.
  • Israeli retaliation in Gaza killed about 20 people, including women and children.
  • Through the years, there have been many flare-ups that were settled before war broke out, but at the time of this writing, a ceasefire is not on the horizon.
  • This is a very serious situation, and if this is not settled soon, it could lead to some of the end-of-the-age prophesied wars.
  • One Israeli writer is calling it “a battle for the Temple Mount.”

Finally, if you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.

Keeping The Sermon On The Mount? :: By Grant Phillips

Is it possible today to live by the Sermon on the Mount? Many folks seem to think so. Even the world today pushes its liberal agenda, thinking its anti-God programs fulfill the message Jesus gave in Matthew 5-7.

The Sermon on the Mount is also provided in the other three Gospels, but not as completely as in Matthew. One Bible teacher stated years ago that he believes Jesus pointed out all ten of the commandments and not just the two that are shown in the Scripture. This makes sense because the apostle John says:

“And there are also many other things Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen” (John 21:25).

For example, it is obvious that He healed many, many more people than are listed in Scripture, definitely thousands. With a casual reading, it is evident that all who came to Him, and there were thousands, He healed them all.

That being the case, it is obvious to me that the entirety of the Sermon on the Mount is not provided for the reason the apostle John stated in John 21:25 above, but the largest section of it is provided in Matthew 5-7.

After carefully reading Matthew 5-7, how can anyone possibly think they live by that Sermon? Beats me … but they sure do.

Folks, living by the Law of Moses is hard enough (in other words, we can’t). The Sermon on the Mount takes the Law to the nth degree. Living by the Law would be like trying to carry a car on your back for a twenty-mile run. Living by the Sermon on the Mount would be like trying to carry Earth on your back. It ain’t gonna happen, at least not now. I’ll return to this thought later.

In Matthew 5:21-22, Jesus says, “You have heard that the ancients were told, ‘YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT MURDER’ and ‘Whoever commits murder shall be liable to the court.’ “But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing,’ shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell.”

Even in our society, anyone who commits murder will be dealt with by our governmental justice system. Yes, I realize that isn’t always so, but that is the way it is supposed to work. In other words, one who commits murder should be put to death, even though this is rarely the case in our society. However, God says:

“Whoever sheds man’s blood, By man his blood shall be shed, For in the image of God He made man” (Genesis 9:6).

“He who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death” (Exodus 21:12).

“If a man takes the life of any human being, he shall surely be put to death” (Leviticus 24:17).

“If anyone kills a person, the murderer shall be put to death at the evidence of witnesses, but no person shall be put to death on the testimony of one witness. ‘Moreover, you shall not take ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death, but he shall surely be put to death” (Numbers 35:30-31).

“Cursed is he who strikes his neighbor in secret.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen'” (Deuteronomy 27:24).

Now back to the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5:21-22 (shown above). The Sermon on the Mount is so much more stringent than the Law; we are found guilty if we have one wrong THOUGHT toward another person.

So, can any of us truthfully say we have never murdered someone? Hopefully, we have never done so by a physical action, but what about our thoughts? Where do we stand when it comes to what we think? How many times have we been guilty of murder by the Sermon on the Mount definition? Maybe we kept the Law in that regard, but have we kept the Sermon on the Mount in that regard?

Now let’s see what Jesus says about His second example from the Ten Commandments … adultery.

“You have heard that it was said, ‘YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY’;

but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart” (Matthew 5:27-28).

Now obviously, this applies to both sexes, male and female. Maybe we all can puff our chest out and brag that we have never committed adultery, but again, what about those thoughts that crossed our mind?

Can any of us, if we’re honest, truthfully say that we have never, not even once, had the wrong thought toward someone of the opposite sex? (I’m not even going to address the homosexual situation. I’ve done so before, and it is clearly and without argument a vile sin against God.)

With all the garbage that comes over the television, theaters, magazines, Internet, etc., it is very difficult for a decent person to avoid what is shoved in our face. Even aside from that, can we truthfully say we have never once had that unclean thought? Again, the answer is obvious, whether we’re talking about murder (above) or adultery in this passage.

Especially the Pharisees of Jesus’ day were very proud of their supposed ability to keep the Law, but Jesus, in His Sermon on the Mount, tells them about a higher Law, a Law that will be observed at a later time. The Sermon on the Mount is all about the Kingdom age (the Millennium or 1,000-year reign of Christ).

If we fail in one point of the Law, we are guilty (Romans 3:9-20, 23; James 2:10). If we even THINK the wrong thought toward another person, we are guilty. In other words, we break the Law of Moses by our ACTIONS, and we break God’s higher Law by our mere THOUGHTS.

At this time, we break both laws. We may keep some or most of the Law of Moses in the here and now, but it is impossible for anyone to keep any of the Law of the Kingdom age that Jesus is revealing. Anyone who makes such a brash statement that they keep the Sermon on the Mount is, I kindly say, a fool. Does that mean we might as well ignore the Sermon on the Mount for daily living? Of course not, no more so than we should ignore the Law of Moses, even though we are no longer under the Law, but under Grace.

No one but Jesus has ever kept the Law of Moses and the Sermon on the Mount, but here is the good news. All who belong to Jesus in the Kingdom age will keep the Sermon on the Mount. I believe that those who are born on the earth during the Millennium will also be able to thru Jesus, if they are saved during that time. All who are born on the earth during the Millennium who do not come to Jesus to be saved will be judged by the Law of the Sermon on the Mount.

Remember that Jesus said when referring to that time:

“AND HE SHALL RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON, AS THE VESSELS OF THE POTTER ARE BROKEN TO PIECES, as I also have received authority from My Father” (Revelation 2:27).

“And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to God and to His throne” (Revelation 12:5).

“From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty” (Revelation 19:15).

The Millennial Kingdom is a wonderful time to anticipate, for those who belong to God. Just think, IF the Rapture occurred today, the Millennial reign of Jesus Christ could be only a mere seven years or so away.

Then it will be a time when the world will be properly governed by Jesus Himself. FINALLY, it will be run, not by politicians and despots, but by the Lord Jesus Christ.

Then, we can truthfully say (those who belong to Jesus) that not even a sinful THOUGHT is ours. That old sin nature that now haunts us will no longer be around.
