China’s ownership of American debt allows the Chinese to use economic leverage over the United States. What if China suddenly recalled America’s loans? The dollar would probably fall, and this will lead to other countries’ economic downfalls as well. The dollar still holds power, which is the main reason the rest of the world wants a “universal” currency. They are over America. Her shine and luster have faded. As Antifa and BLM take over our streets, that’s become evident.

Obama, before leaving office, signed an executive action that states if the citizens of America are ever in danger or if there’s some sort of “emergency,” the U.N. may LEGALLY and LAWFULLY enter the U.S. to help. Well, U.S. cities are burning, and Democrats are in control…. scary thought.

There are over a hundred million guns in this nation, and the government wants them. Good luck with that. But why would a government want to disarm its people? Ask Mao, Hitler, Stalin, Chavez, and the list goes on. Our founders would be disgusted if they could see us now.

We should have learned lessons from Rome. The destruction and fall of Rome came from the internal decay of its economic decline, political corruption, and cultural differences that were also combined with the constant attacks from the barbarians on their borders.

When our founding fathers created this nation, they did it with Judeo-Christian values in mind. We were to be a free nation. One nation under God. We were blessed as a nation from the very beginning. We became THE world superpower in less than 150 years.

America’s cities grew quickly. Our manufacturing exploded, and capitalism made this nation rich almost overnight. Our rule of law kept this nation from being ruled by mob law. That’s all gone now.

“If fascism ever comes to America, it will come in the name of liberalism.” Ronald Reagan said this in the eighties, and how right he was. It happened just as he feared.

God said in end-time Babylon that He would “kindle a fire in her cities.” Kindling a fire means exactly what Antifa and BLM are doing; in every major city around the world, there are protests, lockdowns, angry citizens, and tyrannical governments. It’s not just America. The world is in chaos.

You can’t tell me a dark spirit hasn’t been unleashed over this nation. No matter where you look, war is looming, and this time I truly believe it will be in America. We were the last stronghold against Satan’s new world order. That’s all gone. Biden has embraced it. They hate the very idea of American exceptionalism.

Satan is using racism as the root cause for uprisings in America right now, but it’s a farce. These idiots are marching based on their feelings, not facts. Here’s a lesser-known fact. In 2019, 15 unarmed black people were killed by cops compared to 25 white people. What about Daniel Shaver? He was murdered by police as he begged for his life in a hotel hallway. He was white, though, so his murder didn’t matter, and the police were not held accountable. Guess he missed out on the whole “White privilege” part. Me too. There IS a problem with militarized police, not racism. Some of these officers are the same ones that will be knocking on your door asking why you didn’t get the vaccine yet. I may back the blue, but I’m also not stupid.

We’ve heard about it for two thousand years, and now I believe it’s at hand. Jesus warned Christians of what was coming to the last generation. I also believe He was speaking to His followers as Christians, not Jews. They ask what will befall THEM, His followers, in the last days or the end of this age, and He gives a very clear description of what we are now beginning to see.

He describes a time of trouble for His followers but also for the Jews living in Jerusalem. Things are going to get tough in Jerusalem with Harris running things. As a matter of fact, the Jewish people have been running to bomb shelters again as rockets rain down. The Democrats no longer hide their disdain for the nation of Israel, and the Palestinians know it. One of the last things Obama did was stab Israel in the back in front of the world. The left has a hatred for all of God’s people. God help Netanyahu because he will truly be alone soon.

“And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

“For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. 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. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another” (Matthew 24:3-10).

Why would Jews look for Jesus? They wouldn’t. They are looking for the Mashiach (messiah), yes. But not Jesus. Jesus said many will come in His name, not His title of Mashiach. The Pope comes in His name. Joel Osteen comes in His name.

Nation against nation doesn’t mean country; it’s races and nationalities of people rising against one another. There’s going to be pestilence like we haven’t seen, viruses, and earthquakes. He said these people who are persecuted would be hated for Him. How many of these leftists do you really see converting to Christianity and then being led to slaughter for Jesus? It’s you that’s going to be led to the slaughter. Those who endure to the end will be saved.

He told us people would become offended. I mean, do I really need to even go over that one? When is the left not offended? He said they would hate you, betray you, and turn you in to authorities. Stop being complacent. It’s YOU they are coming for.

The world used to marvel after us, wanted to be a part of us. Be us. But what were we doing? Listening to media and movies about how much better Europe was. Suddenly Americans were labeled as rude while the rest of the world was nice. Just nice. We fell for it. We wanted trips to Paris and London. THEY WANTED TRIPS TO NEW YORK. We stopped realizing what we had, and now it’s too late; we’ve lost it.

I believe the USA to be modern Babylon; that’s no secret by now.

In verse 6 of Habakkuk 1, God says, “For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation ….”

God talks about a nation of Chaldeans that is raised up, and it astonishes the rest of the world. Scripture says this nation is hasty and bitter. We were founded out of anger towards Britain. The haste in which we flourished absolutely astonished the world. We STILL astonished the world until a couple of decades ago. This nation is powerful, and her enemies fear her. She makes a lot of promises she doesn’t keep and seems to have a lot of creditors… or a big creditor. China anyone?

Scripture says Babylon’s creditors will rise up, and she will become booty or treasure for other nations. End-time Babylon or the land of the Chaldeans conquered and plundered many nations, and now the many nations across the world will plunder her. There’s going to be violence, and in Jeremiah, we are told there will be ruler against ruler (Trump’s not done), which brings violence. Jesus talks about lawlessness reigning. It’s evident that society as we knew it has broken. Is this the America of YOUR childhood? I doubt it.

“Look among the nations and watch—Be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days, Which you would not believe, though it were told you. For indeed I am raising up the Chaldeans, A bitter and hasty nation Which marches through the breadth of the earth, To possess dwelling places that are not theirs. They are terrible and dreadful” (Habakkuk 1:5-7).

“And to him who loads himself with many pledges? Will not your creditors rise up suddenly? Will they not awaken who oppress you? And you will become their booty. Because you have plundered many nations, All the remnant of the people shall plunder you, Because of men’s blood And the violence of the land and the city, And of all who dwell in it” (Habakkuk 2:6:7-8).

“The noise of the day of the LORD is bitter; There the mighty men shall cry out. That day is a day of wrath, A day of trouble and distress, A day of devastation and desolation, A day of darkness and gloominess, A day of clouds and thick darkness, A day of trumpet and alarm Against the fortified cities And against the high towers” (Zephaniah 1:14-16).

I believe “The day of the Lord” will include nuclear war. What else can utterly destroy everything in its path and for hundreds of miles around besides a nuclear bomb? Jeremiah talks of a destroying wind. Then plunderers and winnowers come. That means people who will kill you for your possessions. This nuclear attack is against “mighty men” with fortified cities and high towers. It’s a place of great defense. God also says in Jeremiah that our walls and foundations will be thrown down. Who else has a mix of people living in her?

“A sword is against her mighty men, and they will be dismayed. A sword is against their horses, Against their chariots, And against all the mixed peoples who are in her midst, And they will become like women” (Jeremiah 50:37).

The moment Trump left the White House on January 20, Satan swooped in. This nation has been getting darker for the last decade, and it’s only going to get worse.

Covid has been used to strip rights and freedom, and that loon Dr Fauci even admits it. He brags that we need to give our constitutional rights up to stop the spread. Remember “fifteen” days? Seems like a lifetime ago. The good news is that people are waking up to the covid scam. On the left, it’s just been much slower. Bill Mahr recently came out and blasted the covid restrictions and actually accused our government of lying. It’s a must-watch video.

https://www.infowars.com/posts/must-see-watch-bill-maher-comes-out-against-the-covid-19-hoax/

The Democrats have seized control of every aspect of our government and are destroying it all from within. They are now going to pack the SCOTUS to ensure their leftist agendas always get pushed through. This after Biden said he was against packing the highest court in the land. Even RBG was against this. We’ve had the same number of justices for 150 years. They are going to destroy this nation to the point of no return.

What are Republican representatives doing? Nothing. They are tweeting how angry they are.

To me, the downfall of this nation goes squarely on Republican shoulders. Why? We knew who the Democrats were. But people like Kemp allowed this nation to be stolen. He knew there was voter fraud in Georgia, and he refused to even look into it. Suitcases filled with ballots were being pulled from under tables! Pennsylvania and Michigan both have Republican legislators, and they betrayed Trump. They could have investigated fraud but didn’t. In Georgia, the number of underage voters who illegally voted was enough of a margin for Trump to win. Same thing in Nevada. They stole this nation in front of the world and got away with it. If we had more Republican “leaders” like Ted Cruz and Jim Jordan, then things would have been different. But we have a bunch of Mitt Romney’s.

While President Trump was in office, the Palestinians were held in check. There weren’t missiles raining down on the nation of Israel because they weren’t sure what Trump’s reaction would be. They know Biden’s. NOTHING. There will be no consequence. As the Jewish people are running to bomb shelters, the Palestinians are also attacking them, BUT ultra-Orthodox Jews are fighting right back. It’s total chaos with Jews and Arabs attacking one another in the streets.

In Russia, thousands of people took to the streets over Alexey Navalny and his now ended hunger strike. There’s unrest across the world. Lawlessness is reigning just as prophesied.

God said ancient Babylon’s images and idols would be destroyed. BLM and Antifa have been tearing down statues and destroying historical sites for over a year.

As I sit here and write this, I wonder what President Trump is doing, what he is really thinking. I’ve been warning for the last year about a prophecy of two rulers in end-time Babylon, which brings civil war.

Right this very minute, Arizona is officially hand-counting 2.1 million ballots from the 2020 presidential election. The Democrats have frantically sent dozens of lawyers to Arizona to file lawsuits attempting to stop this recount. I don’t think they will succeed.

People should be asking themselves WHY would the left want to prevent ANY recount if there’s nothing to hide? Arizona was stolen, and that may very well be proven soon. Then what? Will other states suddenly feel pressure to recount? One would think so. Ruler against Ruler, like Jeremiah warns?

What Americans are living under right now is by the very definition, and according to our constitution, called TYRANNY. The Biden administration has assaulted our constitutionally guaranteed rights. They’ve limited free speech, the right to assemble, freedom of religion, and freedom of the press. Our MSM is garbage, and the smaller conservative outlets are under attack. You can’t voice your opinion without some leftist mob attacking you for it. As they march in the streets yelling about fascism, they are actually the fascists. Hitler was a fascist. Mussolini was a fascist. BIDEN IS A FASCIST.

I warned a couple of months ago about China buying our ranches in Oklahoma. They aren’t the only ones buying up American farmland either. Bill Gates has bought up almost 300,000 acres of farmland. Why? Well, according to the Biden administration, they want you to eat 90% less meat per year. They want to limit you to FOUR POUNDS OF MEAT PER YEAR. The green new deal is in full effect. We can’t have cows farting, so let’s starve the people!

And starvation is coming. The rider on the black horse is speeding towards us. Food prices are getting more expensive; the stock market is in a huge bubble, and it will crash, and gas prices are way up. Biden is massively increasing taxes on middle-class Americans; the regulations Trump cut, Biden has reinstated; and I could just go on and on. He’s destroying us! Americans are out of work; they barely have food for the month, let alone for a few months.

When it comes down to it, Americans will starve if our supply chain is cut and our cattle ranches stop selling. Speaking of selling, these Chinese-owned cattle ranches are sending the beef TO CHINA that they should be selling to Americans!

Americans always tell other nations, “I’ll pray for you,” when appropriate. I think it’s time America asked the world to pray for her.

Biden is weak and ineffective. He has no respect, and world leaders do not fear him; they mock him. During a world summit by zoom, Biden was the only leader to wear a mask. But Americans missed something far greater while mocking him. He was also the only one to have absolutely no representation of his country. No flag, no seal. Nothing.

Jesus warned us that it was our “leaders” we need to really keep an eye on.

What’s going on in Arizona is only the beginning. I have a feeling Portland and Seattle will be sending their “finest” down to Arizona in hopes of intimidating people.

America was such a beautiful nation. A beacon of hope. Where those who were TRULY oppressed came to find freedom. Now “oppressed” means you FEEL entitled to be here, so you’re coming. Biden has opened the flood gates and also is bypassing ALL covid regulations for these illegals.

God said, “Come out of her, my people.” Get out of Democrat cities. Start buying meat now while you can. Buy a deep freezer. Start thinking about heat now while it’s warming up. Who knows where we will be by November when the cold comes around again? I don’t think we will be recognizable as a nation. It’s only been 100 days. It’s going to be a long summer. Let’s pray there are no heatwaves to fuel tempers.

Christians can debate on the timeline of these biblical events all day, but one thing ties us all together. Jesus Christ. Mashiach. We eagerly await His return and trust in His plan. It doesn’t matter when I will see you there, just know I will see you.

I guess it’s official. I’m officially old. It’s not just the multiple mailings I get every month from AARP or the fact that the grocery store checkout clerk routinely asks me if I qualify for the “senior discount.” Lately, I’ve been thinking about the way things used to be and feeling a little like a dinosaur. But I don’t necessarily feel old, just tired, worn out and beat up. Yeah, I guess I feel old. I just feel like the world around me has transformed into something I never thought I’d see in all my life. And the things I’m talking about were not eons ago. Let’s just go back 50 years — to 1971 — and see how things have changed.

In 1971, the average cost of a brand new house was $25,000. The average income was $10,000 a year. A gallon of gas was 40 cents, and a postage stamp was 8 cents. A brand new car was less than $2,000.

I’m so old I remember when telephones were connected to the wall with a wire. Turns out that was pretty good technology because when the phones were tied down, humans were free. I remember the days of the “party line,” rotary phones, payphones and phone booths. I remember when, if you weren’t home and someone called, they would call you back later. Then came the invention of the answering machine. Then there was a new thing, which you could pay extra for, called “Caller ID.” Now you could choose to answer the phone, or not, depending on if you wanted to talk to the person calling or not.

The first cell phones came in heavy, cumbersome bags — or the wealthy could get one installed in their car. But unless you were REALLY wealthy, you didn’t dare use your cell phone unless it was a real emergency — (and then you talked fast) — because a huge bill was soon to follow for each minute you were holding that thing.

Today, almost everyone owns a “smartphone.” A hand-held supercomputer that allows you to take pictures, send text messages, chat with someone on the other side of the world with live video, access the internet, send email, interact on “social media” platforms, play games, pay your bills, purchase just about anything you can think of with a few taps of your finger, watch movies, get directions and maps to any destination, order food delivery, and more…. By the way, do you know what the LEAST used function of a smartphone is today? That would be the telephone!

I remember when the news came out that smartphones were tracking all your personal information and data, collecting and selling your information, listening in to your conversations even when your phone was turned off — and that was a big deal to people; a serious breach of our personal privacy. Now, not only do we accept that as “just the way things are,” many people even install additional listening devices, like “Alexa,” in their homes. Of course, it’s for convenience purposes, but no one seems to mind the fact that we’re all being “wiretapped” now. The convenience of the devices outweighs the moral and ethical breaches that we know are going on. And we push the thoughts of 24/7 surveillance to the backs of our minds; after all, those listening in would never really DO anything with the information… right?

I remember when hand-held calculators first came out. They cost about as much as a new iPhone does today. And the first videotape recorders.

They weighed about a thousand pounds and cost about a thousand dollars. And they were Beta! The first video cameras were in black & white only — and had to be connected to a videotape recorder and a TV to use them.

I’m so old I remember riding in cars without seatbelts and on bikes without helmets. Not only did we not wear helmets on our bikes, but we were also pretty inventive and imaginative. Every boy built ramps, got their speed up as fast as possible, and then, if they did it right, flew a few feet through the air — usually over a row of metal Tonka trucks lined up between the “take-off” ramp and the landing target. Yes… there were skinned knees and more than a few bruises. But somehow, we survived. Now, I suppose helmets would have been a good idea, but if we wore them, I can guarantee they would have looked “cool,” like motorcycle helmets — not like the neon-colored “salad bowls” kids wear today, fastened to their heads with a chin strap.

I’m so old I remember getting our “Weekly Reader” propaganda magazines in public school, where we were warned of a new ice age coming to cover the globe with glaciers by the year 2000. I remember when America tried the “Metric System,” and we were told in school that we HAD to learn this because the whole world was switching over to the Metric System in just a couple of years. Well, we tried that — for about ten minutes — but it was just too hard… we here in America are still quite happy with our gallons, quarts, pints and cups, and we’re just as happy with our inches, feet and yardsticks.

And I’m still waiting for my flying car. I may be old, but I haven’t forgotten that Popular Mechanics magazine PROMISED us those would be commonplace by about 1975. Yep, still waiting. Speaking of cars, I remember when gas stations were in a tizzy because they only had room on their signs for two digits — so they didn’t know what to do when gas went higher than a dollar a gallon.

I’m so old I remember all the summers I spent baling hay, mowing the lawn, and working hard in the garden. I remember the wonderful feeling of playing outside after supper, in the cool of the evening, as the sun went down, breathing in the smell of summertime. Catching lightning bugs on the 4th of July… in between lighting off fireworks.

I’m so old I remember 4th of July parades where you STOOD UP for the veterans as they passed by carrying the flags, and you took your hat off in honor of their service, and you applauded our flag and our country. America wasn’t perfect, but there was no doubt it was the best country in the world, and we were blessed by God to live here. I remember growing up with a feeling of patriotism that, sadly, I dare say most young people today will never, ever have. Not only have they been taught that everything about our history and heritage is bad and shameful, they’ve also been taught that to disrespect all things “American” is actually a noble and courageous thing to do.

And in those days, we didn’t negotiate with terrorists. Certainly, we didn’t send them pallets of cash in the dead of night. Politicians were still about as honest as used car salesmen, but at least they pretended to love this country. And people could disagree and speak their minds and tell the truth without being censored by the politically-correct and the thought police.

I remember when someone was going to have a baby, and it was a very positive, HAPPY time. Babies were blessings, not “punishments,” and harming a baby in any way was the most reprehensible thing one could ever conceive of. People didn’t kill their babies for convenience, and so-called “doctors” didn’t kill babies for profit.

And I’m so old that when a baby was born, it was either a boy or a girl, and it was not difficult to tell the difference. Thinking back now, the words of Archie Bunker in the opening song of that show were almost prophetic: “And you knew who you were then. Girls were girls, and men were men.” Today, that distinction is “blurred,” to say the least.

I didn’t know anyone whose parents were divorced. Divorce — like abortion — was not a simple solution to perceived problems. Marriage really was “’til death do we part,” in the vast majority of families. Grandparents and elders were honored and their wisdom valued.

I’m so old that I can remember when so-called “race relations” were actually good. White people did not hate black people, and black people did not hate white people.

There was no rioting, looting and burning to protest the arrest of criminals. We all had the same opportunities, and it was up to each individual as to what he’d make of his life. Everyone worked hard. There was no such thing as “white privilege” or “toxic masculinity” or “micro-aggressions.” Those who needed a hand up were able to get it. But it was a hand UP — not a hand OUT; it wasn’t a recipe for delinquent parenting, easy divorce, abortion-on-demand or multi-generational welfare communities.

I’m so old I remember when being a Christian was actually a good thing. Young women would hope to meet a good Christian man; young men would hope to meet a good Christian woman. Marriage and family was the goal. Children were raised by both parents, and almost every family went to church. There were tough times, and looking back, I guess you could say our family was “poor,” but us kids never knew it. We trusted God, we had strong faith, family was a team, and we all worked hard. The “little” things in life were the most precious, and memories I will always carry with me.

In those days, drugs were bad. Getting drunk was bad. We didn’t have an enormous pharmaceutical industry pushing prescription drugs of every sort — most with side effects worse than the disease — and raking in more money every year than Big Oil does today. We certainly didn’t have a nationwide push for the legalization of illicit drugs for recreational use. And we were not forced to take medications. My grandparents could never have conceived of such a thing.

If you got sick, you stayed home from school or work for a few days until you got better. You weren’t forced to quarantine in your home — you stayed home all on your own because you were sick. We certainly were never forced to quarantine in our homes when we were healthy. (Who needs a COVID concentration camp when you can just force people to comply with house arrest?) We were never denied entrance to any store or business, or shunned from society because we refused to wear a mask on our face or get a shot. We had freedom.

Freedom to think for ourselves, freedom to study and learn for ourselves, freedom to speak our minds on any particular subject, freedom to go work, shop, travel, and eat what we chose.

Churches didn’t close in the midst of a crisis — they OPENED up bigger. They would never have been considered “non-essential,” and the idea that the government would or COULD arrest a pastor for preaching, padlock the doors of a church, arrest church-goers for going to church, or hand out fines for simply sitting in your car in your church parking lot was unthinkable.

Not in America. It could NEVER happen here.

And I’m so old I remember how the pastor used to pound his fist on the pulpit — to drive home a point in a powerful sermon, or to wake up a tired farmer on the verge of dozing off. But those were the days when sermons were sermons. (Not “talks.”) Pastors preached on the relevant topics of the day, and their goal wasn’t to keep people happy and complacent. Their goal was to tell them the TRUTH of what the Word of God had to say about the most important issues in our culture, politics, morality (or lack thereof), and especially about the precious blood of Jesus, shed for us, so that by repentance and faith, we could be saved.

We sang songs like “Onward Christian Soldiers” and “Nothing But the Blood.” But those timeless hymns of the faith are off-limits in most churches today. Too violent. Too radical. Too masculine. Too offensive. There was also the song “I Love to Tell the Story.” When was the last time you heard that in your church? The sad fact is, most church-goers today don’t KNOW the story well enough to tell it, and if they did, they’d be too ashamed of Jesus to even speak His name to a friend or loved one for fear of being rejected. I know that’s a hard thing for you to hear… but you know I’m right. How many souls have been lost because generations of church-goers have been dumbed down, feminized, and trained to be cowards rather than Christian soldiers with a purpose?

The sad fact of the matter is that too many churches have indeed become “non-essential.” In fact, it would be better for the cause of Christ if many of them would remain closed permanently. And it hurts me to say that.

We would do well to remember the days of old. Allow me to close with God’s Word from Deuteronomy 32:

“He is the Rock, His work is perfect: for all His ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is He. They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of His children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.

“Do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and unwise? Is not He thy Father that hath bought thee? Hath He not made thee, and established thee? Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.”

There is great wisdom available to all who seek it. So, generation of 2021, don’t despise the wisdom of your father and forefathers and elders. They remember the old days. They can show you and tell you the ways in which you should walk, the things most important, and help you discern right from wrong, evil from good in a world now filled with deception and lies. Most importantly, remember your Creator, our Heavenly Father. Seek Him and serve Him. “Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.”
