All American Flags Should Be at Half Staff :: By Geri Ungurean

Benjamin Franklin knew that it was just a matter of time before our Republic would crumble. He obviously knew the hearts of men and women.

At the Constitutional Convention of 1787, Benjamin Franklin wrote a speech which was read by another statesmen because Franklin was so advanced in years. Here is part of this speech, and I will focus on a specific part of his words in this article:

“In these sentiments, Sir, I agree to this Constitution with all its faults, if they are such; because I think a general Government necessary for us, and there is no form of Government but what may be a blessing to the people if well administered, and believe farther that this is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in Despotism, as other forms have done before it, when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic Government, being incapable of any other.” (emphasis mine)

DESPOTIC GOVERNMENT

These prophetic words of Benjamin Franklin have been fulfilled and will be celebrated on January 20, 2021.

Meaning of DESPOTIC 

From DictionaryCambridge.org

Having unlimited power over other people, and often using it unfairly and cruelly: a despotic government/regime. A handful of corrupt and despotic leaders make the  decisions.  Synonyms brutal callous cruel harsh (UNKIND) tyrannical tyrannous vicious – source

I would like to add that a government which excludes God from its laws and legislation IS a Despotic government indeed. And that is where we have arrived, brethren. Those who have come into power by corruption and deception are God haters. We must pray for them.

We have arrived at a point in our history where Franklin’s words have, beyond a doubt, been realized. I do not know if we will come back to our Republic. That is in the hands of our Omnipotent God.

I would like for the reader to see various quotes from our forefathers to better understand the hearts and minds of these men:

From godtheoriginalintent.com: Quotes on Democracy vs. Republic

“A simple democracy is the devil’s own government.”

— Benjamin Rush (1745-1813) Founding Father & signer of the Declaration of Independence

“Let the American youth never forget that they possess a noble inheritance, bought by the toils and sufferings and blood of their ancestors, and capable, if wisely improved and faithfully guarded, of transmitting to the latest posterity all the substantial blessings of life, the peaceful enjoyment of liberty, property, religion, and independence. The structure has been erected by architects of consummate skill and fidelity; its foundations are solid, its compartments are beautiful as well as useful, its arrangements are full of wisdom and order, and its defenses are impregnable from without. It has been reared for immortality, if the work of men may justly aspire to such a title.

It may nevertheless perish in an hour by the folly, or corruption, or negligence of its only keepers, the People. Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall when the wise are banished from the public councils because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded because they flatter the people in order to betray them.”

— Joseph Story (1779-1845) Lawyer, Supreme Court Justice & influential commentators on the U.S. Constitution

“There is no good government but what is republican. That the only valuable part of the British constitution is so; for the true idea of a republic is ‘an empire of laws, and not of men.’ That, as a republic is the best of governments, so that particular arrangement of the powers of society, or in other words, that form of government which is best contrived to secure an impartial and exact execution of the law, is the best of republics.”

— John Adams (1797-1801) Second President of the United States and Patriot

“If they proceed in it (removing the Bible from schools), they will do more in half a century in extirpating our religion than Bolingbroke or Voltaire could have effected in a thousand years. …I lament that we waste so much time and money in punishing crimes and take so little pains to prevent them. We profess to be republicans, and yet we neglect the only means of establishing and perpetuating our republican forms of government; that is, the universal education of our youth in the principles of Christianity by means of the Bible; for this divine book, above all others, favors that equality among mankind, that respect for just laws, and all those sober and frugal virtues which constitute the soul of republicanism.”

— Benjamin Rush (1745-1813) Founding Father & signer of the Declaration of Independence

“As riches increase and accumulate in few hands, as luxury prevails in society, virtue will be in a greater degree considered as only a graceful appendage of wealth, and the tendency of things will be to depart from the republican standard. This is the real disposition of human nature; it is what neither the honorable member nor myself can correct. It is a common misfortunate that awaits our State constitution, as well as all others.”

— Alexander Hamilton (1755-1804) Lawyer, Secretary of the Treasury & Secretary of State

“It is the manners and spirit of a people which preserve a republic in vigor. A degeneracy in these is a canker which soon eats to the heart of its laws and constitution.”

— Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) Third President of the United States

“But between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

— John Marshall (1755-1835) House Member, Secretary of State and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court

“Democracy will soon degenerate into an anarchy; such an anarchy that every man will do what is right in his own eyes and no man’s life or property or reputation or liberty will be secure, and every one of these will soon mould itself into a system of subordination of all the moral virtues and intellectual abilities, all the powers of wealth, beauty, wit, and science, to the wanton pleasures, the capricious will, and the execrable [abominable] cruelty of one or a very few.”

— John Adams (1797-1801) Second President of the United States and Patriot

“The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.”

—  Thomas Jefferson, Author of the Declaration of Independence, 3rd President of the U. S

“They define a republic to be a government of laws, and not of men.”

— John Adams (1797-1801) Second President of the United States and Patriot

“A democracy is a volcano, which conceals the fiery materials of its own destruction. These will produce an eruption, and carry desolation in their way.”

— Fisher Ames (1758-1808) Founding Father and framer of the First Amendment to the Constitution

“Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide. It is in vain to say that democracy is less vain, less proud, less selfish, less ambitious, or less avaricious than aristocracy or monarchy. It is not true, in fact, and nowhere appears in history. Those passions are the same in all men, under all forms of simple government, and when unchecked, produce the same effects of fraud, violence, and cruelty. When clear prospects are opened before vanity, pride, avarice, or ambition, for their easy gratification, it is hard for the most considerate philosophers and the most conscientious moralists to resist the temptation. Individuals have conquered themselves. Nations and large bodies of men, never.”

— John Adams (1797-1801) Second President of the United States and Patriot

“Democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine percent.”

—  Thomas Jefferson, Author of the Declaration of Independence, 3rd President of the U. S.

“Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they, therefore, who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure…are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments.”

— Charles Carroll (1737-1832) Founding Father and Leader from Maryland

“That the only foundation for a useful education, in a republic, is to be laid in religion. Without this there can be no virtue, and without virtue there can be no liberty; and liberty is the object and life of all republican governments.”

— Benjamin Rush (1745-1813) Founding Father& signer of the Declaration of Independence

“Upon my return from the army to Baltimore in the winter of 1777, I sat next to John Adams in Congress, and upon my whispering to him and asking him if he thought we should succeed in our struggle with Great Britain, he answered me, ‘Yes—if we fear God and repent of our sins.’ This anecdote will, I hope, teach my boys that it is not necessary to disbelieve Christianity or to renounce morality in order to arrive at the highest political usefulness or fame. Again, in Baltimore, I asked John Adams if he thought we were qualified for republican forms of government. He said, “No—and never should be till we were ambitious to be poor.”

— Benjamin Rush (1745-1813) Founding Father& signer of the Declaration of Independence

“The Christian religion, in its purity, is the basis or rather the source of all genuine freedom in government… I am persuaded that no civil government of a republican form can exist and be durable, in which the principles of that religion have not a controlling influence.”

— Noah Webster (1758-1843) Father of the Dictionary & American Patriot

“The known propensity of a democracy is to licentiousness, which the ambitious call, and the ignorant believe to be, liberty.”

— Fisher Ames (1758-1808) Founding Father and framer of the First Amendment to the Constitution

You may read more quotes from our Founding Fathers regarding our Republic here.

Brethren, please understand that this illegal takeover of all branches of our government is the work of the devil himself. As God uses men and women who love Him and belong to Him for good, Satan uses the godless to do his bidding. And in this last faux-election, we saw the devil raging because he knows that his time is short.

There is a Law much Higher than the law of men. It is God’s law, and we who belong to Him must obey His law.

God is judging America

If God did not judge this nation, then He certainly would apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah! The sins of this once great nation are egregious and a stench in the nostrils of our Creator and Father.

Persecution of Christians is close at hand

Under the new despotic regime, we will be commanded to renounce our faith and to act against the Word of God. THIS is when we must realize that God’s law reigns supreme, and if we are to obey what we know is right, we will suffer consequences.

But Fear Not! Our Lord is with us every moment of every day; and one day Jesus will come and take us away from this incredibly WICKED place!

“But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men” (Acts 5:29).

Brethren, this Scripture from Acts does not give the Christian the right to break the law except where human law violates God’s Law. And that will inevitably be the case in the coming years under the new DESPOTIC government.

We obey God rather than men.

How Can I Be Saved?

Shalom B’Yeshua

The COVID-19 Vaccine is Not the Mark; It’s the Prep to the Mark

A lot of people have asked me if they should get the COVID-19 vaccine because they fear it might have some connection to the Mark of the Beast. The “mark” is not at all something that could be accidentally taken. The people who take it in the tribulation hour are doing so to show their allegiance to the Antichrist.

I have watched several medical videos on the COVID-19 vaccine, and I think it is generally safe to take. The messenger RNA gets into your cells and makes copies of proteins that become the spikes on the virus. Immune cells create antibodies that will attach to the spikes, preventing the virus from entering into a host cell. Once the messenger RNA has sounded the alarm, it quickly breaks apart.

Even though this vaccine was developed in record time, pharmaceutical companies have managed to cut corners by ingeniously simplifying the process. Most of us have been injected with vaccines that are made of dead viruses. Sometimes, not all the viruses were killed, and people came down with an illness that they expected to avoid. The COVID-19 vaccine basically hands out wanted posters to our immune system and then vanishes.

We have poured billions of dollars into the key vaccines, and there has been a massive amount of data and research on them. There are many drugs that have nowhere near the amount of testing that has taken place with these COVID-19 vaccines. So if you grow a third eye or hair on your tongue in 10 years, it’s more likely to be a side effect of a prescription drug than one of these vaccines.

There have been several allergic reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine, but very few have had any lasting impact on peoples’ health. I understand that there are millions of people who don’t trust any vaccine, which probably includes a majority of my Rapture Ready audience.

We all have to assess the risk and make our own decisions. I was going to get a flu shot, but when I read that the infection rate for this virus is way down, I decided not to get one.

The greatest danger with the COVID-19 vaccine is it being used as a pretext for forced medical treatment. The government may soon be kicking down doors, hogtying people and injecting them without their consent. I had rather been part of the initial vaccine test group than see our governors act like military juntas.

There is a massive problem with the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine. State and federal agencies have absolutely no idea what they are doing. They promised that 20 million people would be vaccinated by the end of 2020, and only 2.5 million individuals received shots. Some people are waiting in lines up to 24 hours to get a vaccination.

We knew it would take a small army to inoculate 300 million people, and that army was never raised. Everyone now injecting people with the vaccine should have spent the last few months teaching other people to administer the shots. If we’ve declared war on this virus, we should have firemen, national guard, school nurses, or heroin addicts on the firing line. Ok, I’m just kidding about the addicts, but they probably could do a better job. There are 12,000 of them in the city of Los Angles alone.

The virus is killing 4,000 people a day, and it will likely surge in the coming days from the new strains that are more transmissible. When we finally get enough people vaccinated to end the pandemic, I think the government agency that houses immunization will become a massive part of the government. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had 10,000 employees in its last headcount. In the near future, it may have a half million. After the 911 attacks, Homeland Security ballooned up so much that they had to build a dozen large office complexes in Washington, D.C., to house all the new workers.

COVID-19 has given political leaders a dangerous amount of power over people’s lives. It is just too Orwellian to have governors telling citizens where to shop, when they can leave their homes, and when it’s safe to go to church. If COVID-19 vanishes once we achieve herd immunity, a bad flu season a couple years down the road may trigger another lockdown.

If the Antichrist had tried to roll out the mark of the beast implant today, we know it would have been a huge disaster. The tribulation would be over before everyone would have received the 666 mark.

The COVID-19 vaccine rollout has been bumpy, but it will get progressively more effective with each passing day. In six months’ time, we could have a system that could administer an injection to every citizen within two months. What scares me the most about the mark is not that people will receive it with great regret, but rather, they will take it with little regard for the consequences.

“And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, ‘If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out unmixed into the cup of His indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb” (Revelation 14:9-10).

Anticipating Prophetic Cry for Peace and Safety

The single most prominent contribution, perhaps, in President Trump’s dealing with Israel involved deescalating movement toward war in the region.

Despite outcries from every quarter when Mr. Trump officially declared Jerusalem Israel’s capital, then his ordering the American Embassy moved to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv, calm has prevailed. There has been lower temperature in the region rather than elevation of heated conflict.

A big part of the success in keeping the potential for war at a relatively low level was the Trump administration’s reversal of the previous administration’s nuclear deal with Iran. The Iranian fanatic dictators—the Muslim ayatollahs—had their financial windfalls cut off abruptly by the “outsider candidate” that came to the presidency in January of 2017.

The Obama administration had rewarded bad behavior and threats by doing things like delivering billions of dollars in cash on pallets on darkened runways at night. Trump reversed this by cutting off funds belonging to Iran in US vaults by forbidding access to those funds by the Iranian regime.

Additionally, Trump’s State Department—though in some cases, reluctantly by the deep-state sort embedded there—put economy-breaking sanctions on the regime. This, in turn, caused population uprisings among Iran’s people because of food shortages and other sanction-engendered hardships.

Even liberal, geopolitical observers had to admit that, strangely, the Iranian people, rather than blaming America, placed blame squarely on the ayatollah dictators for their plight.

To the day of Donald J. Trump’s leaving the presidency, Iran’s black-hearted leadership was searching for ways to get America to loosen sanctions. They tried everything from threats of attacking ships in the Gulf of Hormuz to promising to send terror squads to infiltrate American cities.

Never was there “nice talk” of peaceful resolution from the pernicious Persians. But as soon as it became clear that Biden had won the presidential race, the Iranians began “nice talk” of welcoming the same nuclear deal that Mr. Obama and John Kerry had arranged.

Still, however, Iran’s hostility toward America and Israel was not quelled.

They blatantly began to openly let be known that they were again working on nuclear projects, not even hiding that this includes uranium processing for weapons-grade, fissile material.

It is more than obvious that the dangers are building. Iran is on track to produce the nuclear weapon that Donald Trump declared they would never have.

Indeed, they apparently haven’t been able to produce such a weapon to this point. But it is now a matter of time, if the Biden administration, as it seems to be promising, goes back to the nuclear deal of Obama and Kerry. It is almost certain that if the regime of the Muslim terrorists have their way like they did prior to Trump’s presidency, people not only in Israel, but all over the world, will soon be crying for “peace and safety.”

The International Atomic Energy Agency, an international organization for overseeing nuclear programs, announced last Wednesday that Iran has begun work on uranium metal-based fuel for a research reactor in contravention of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) signed in 2015. The deal bans Iran from producing or acquiring uranium metal until 2030 and, in return, removed economic sanctions that had been in place. Uranium metal, a material that can be used in the core of a nuclear bomb, has no civilian uses but is essential for a nuclear weapons program.

France, Britain, and Germany, who are still adhering to the terms of the JCPOA which they co-signed, joined in condemning the move:

“We strongly encourage Iran to end this activity, and return to full compliance with its commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action without delay, if it is serious about preserving this agreement,” the three countries’ governments said in a joint statement.

It is expected that Iran will begin producing the uranium metal within five months. (“Iran to Begin Producing Uranium Metal for Nuclear Weapons Program,” by Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz, The Israel BibleTM, January 19, 2021)

With the new administration’s leaning toward total recommitment to the Iran nuclear deal, Israel’s options for dealing with a revitalized Iranian nuclear-weapons program are becoming fewer. The prophecy of Elam being destroyed might be on their docket—the mountainous area where much of Iran’s nuclear laboratories are said to be operating. It seems now to be only a matter of time, short of heavenly intervention.

And then there is the tremendous economic and geopolitical boost in the Chinese regime that looks to be in the offing with the coming in of the Democrat-controlled US government. They see China as a “competitor,” not as an enemy to be feared, despite the hegemonic, even overtly aggressive military actions by the CCP in the South China Sea, around Taiwan, and in other parts of the region.

The cry for “peace and safety” will shortly be on the rise, I have no doubt. But this also has a silver lining. Such a time is prophesied to be the moment of that great, anticipated instant in human history that will be an astonishing event to the entire world.

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… Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. (1 Thes 5:1–6, 11)
