CASTING A SHADOW…

Hatred of Those Who Identify With Christianity

Dangerous Ground: New York Governor Cuomo Boasts We Flattened the Curve –God Did Not Do That.’ Cuomo, who has said pro-lifers are not welcome in his state (the state with the highest abortion rates in the nation), this governor who delighted in lighting the One World Trade Center spire in honor of his new murderous abortion legislation. Here’s what he said: The number [of cases] is down because we brought the number down.” “God did not do that. Faith did not do that” he said.” The death count went up by thousands the day after Cuomo made this statement. The revision was due to allowing for deaths of people who died before being tested. And even though hospitalizations may have leveled off, the death count is not going down dramatically at all (606 Wednesday, and 630 Thursday). Cuomo should be careful of what he takes credit for.

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap” (Galatians 6:7).

DOJ: ‘Expect action’ on government regulation of religious services amid COVID-19 outbreak. The Justice Department (DOJ) may take action next week against local governments that have cracked down on religious services as widespread parts of the country are shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic, even to the point of targeting drive-in services. “While social distancing policies are appropriate during this emergency, they must be applied evenhandedly [and] not single out religious [organizations],” DOJ Director of Communications Kerri Kupec tweeted.

Google suspended a church’s app from the Google Play store after accusing the pastors of a lack of sensitivity and/or capitalizing on the current coronavirus pandemic. The online sermons that upset Google were about plagues in the Bible and calls for the nation to repent and turn back to God.

Muslim Fulani militants shot and beheaded Catholics in Nigeria this week. This is a continuous occurrence in Nigeria.

China Bans Churches from Streaming Services, Even during Pandemic. Very few organizations, and “only those that hold state-issued licenses,” can stream religious services online in Communist China.

APOSTASY AND DOCTRINES OF DEMONS

Pope in Easter message: Pandemic should spur ‘humanist and ecological conversion.’ Not once in his message delivered on Easter Sunday — when Christians celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus — did he talk about religious conversion to the Christian faith. Francis says coronavirus is “nature’s response” to climate change. He said, “They are alarm signals that creation sends us, which summon us to immediately take effective decisions to safeguard our common home. “[The earth] now cries out to us because of the harm we have inflicted on her by our irresponsible use and abuse of the goods with which God has endowed her,” he says.

“Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature [creation] more than [rather than] the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen” (Romans 1:22-25).

The danger is not so-called manmade climate change (a hoax), but the Godless Marxist-Socialist-Communist takeover we see occurring. There is no Mother Nature, no Mother Earth (Gaia), and mankind does not control weather events. God has, does, and will use weather events to cause hardhearted mankind to repent and turn to Him. We are seeing but a shadow of things to come in the tribulation that will make events we see now pale in comparison. Only those in Christ will be saved from the coming wrath.

GLOBAL ELITISTS AND THE OCCULT

‘Disturbing’: Photo Surfaces of WHO Chief Meeting Chinese Officials with Shiva, the Hindu ‘god of Destruction.’ The photo was posted in January 2019 on the twitter feed of Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus who has served as Director-General of WHO since 2017. Prominently displayed at the head of the table is a statue of the Hindu goddess, Shiva, also known as “Shiva the Destroyer.” The occasion was to celebrate WHO’s participation in China’s Belt and Road Initiative by supporting “overseas training of more than 2,000 Chinese health workers.”

Microsoft Shows Commercial on Good Friday Supporting the Satanic Marina Abramovic. Microsoft hosted a video of its VR technology featuring Marina Abramović on its YouTube channel on Good Friday, garnering 24,000 “dislikes” in 3 days before taking it down. Microsoft said she “is likely the most acclaimed performance artist living today… it’s difficult to overstate her importance within the art world and pop culture at large.” This daughter of high-ranking officials in Yugoslavia’s communist dictatorship wrote the book Spirit Cooking with Essential Aphrodisiac Recipes. Ingredients include “fresh breast milk with fresh sperm milk” to be eaten on “earthquake nights.” Hillary’s campaign manager John Podesta is into such as is his brother Tony. DC elite have visited Tony’s home which contains nightmarish art, to include pedophilia art.

Take a look, if you can stomach it, at these twisted so-called art displays at this link. Hollywood celebrities also flock to these things. 

Hollywood elites back World Health Organization coronavirus concert. The concert, titled ‘One World: Together At Home’ is reportedly dedicated to healthcare workers on the front lines battling the pandemic. It was organized by the WHO and Global Citizen and aired live April 18 on three major US networks as well as social media platforms. The lineup was curated by Lady Gaga. I’m reporting on this before it airs, but I wonder how much of the show will be dedicated to promoting the New World Order by performers and in the props, including the infamous one-eye displays. I can just imagine the Trump bashing that will be spewed out by the three late-night media hosts at this con-cert, blaming him for everything instead of where the blame lies – with WHO, Fauci, and Dem leaders who downplayed the pandemic at first. We mustn’t forget that Demo-crat leaders called Trump racist for wanting to block travel to and from China. Then there’s Pelosi who went out in a crowd and urged others to do the same.

LAST DAYS TRAITORS: A FUNGUS AMONG US

The Left Wants to Resume Migrant Immigration to the US Now. But, of course; they must continue their agenda of turning the US into a third-world Non-Christian country, the only nation standing in the way of their global agendas. Refugee contractors issued statements supporting House Dems’ “No Ban Act” to end presidential-issued travel bans. Leave it to the left to compound a nightmare and make a horrible situation even worse. It’s what they do – for the children, you know – Yeah, sure. The VAST majority are young Muslim men of military age. Thomas Lifson adds: The “refugee contractors” make money off of refugees… Their staff salaries and benefits depend on a steady flow of newcomers brought into the US with their assistance. Follow the money!

Michigan Democrat Governor Bans Many Stores From Selling Seeds, Home Gardening Supplies, Calls Them “Not Necessary.” The shutdown follows an executive order from last month that’s been widely interpreted by many in the industry as banning greenhouses, independent garden centers, and plant nurseries from selling to the public, as part of a larger crackdown on activities deemed “not necessary to sustain or protect life.” (Curiously, the state’s list of “not necessary” items does not include lottery tickets and liquor.)

Facebook Coronavirus ‘Fact Checker’ Worked with Wuhan Virus Lab. Facebook is relying on a “fact checker” that utilizes “expert opinion” from a researcher, Danielle E. Anderson (an assistant professor at Duke-NUS healthcare college), who carried out assignments with the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Conflict of interest, anyone?

Pelosi Shows Off $20,000 Fridge-Freezer Packed With Food and Upscale Ice Cream During Economic Crisis. While Americans are suffering amidst one of the worst economic collapses in recent history, she appears on TV to show off her $24,000 freezer/frig full of food! Her ice cream of choice is Jeni’s that retails for $12 a pint! That’s a luxury most Americans can’t afford at the moment. Meanwhile, “The Paycheck Protection Program just ran out of money because Democrats, led by Pelosi, blocked the necessary $250 billion replenishment for the program that Congressional Republicans tried to deliver.”

Leaked Emails Show Fauci Was Called Hillary’s ‘Doctor Admirer.’ Just to let you know where his  loyalties lie: Anthony Fauci wrote a letter to give Hellary during the Benghazi hearing to show his support for her. He said, “She hit it right out of the park. Please tell her that we all love her and are very proud to know her.” Also, the day after Hellary delivered remarks on global health at a globalist conference in Oslo, Fauci wrote to tell her how much he loves her. He said, “Wow! Very rarely does a speech bring me to tears, but this one did it. Talk about telling it like it is. This was a bases-loaded home run. Please tell the Secretary that I love her more than ever…” Also, Fauci’s wife donated to Hellary’s presidential campaign.

Virginia governor signs legislation dropping voting restrictions. Northam continues his insidious destruction of Virginia. No more requirement for a voter ID.

GLOBAL GOVERNMENT, SURVEILLANCE SOCIETY RISING

Good News! Trump announces funding halt to World Health Organization. President Trump announced a suspension of US funding to the WHO for covering up the seriousness of the COVID-19 outbreak in China before it spread around the world. The organization defends Communist China and colluded to prevent the United States’ main economic rival from having to be open about the unfolding health disaster. This cost other countries crucial time to prepare and delayed decisions to stop international travel. “The WHO’s attack on travel restrictions put political correctness above life-saving measures.”

Good News! The UK Just Dumped China’s Huawei in 5G Tech Roll-Out — Citing its Lies Over Coronavirus. Western democracies, especially the United States (we are a Republic!…at least the founders meant it to be one), just heaved a huge sigh of relief after getting word that United Kingdom PM Boris Johnson is dropping the controversial Chinese tech company, Huawei, as the nation’s provider of 5G infrastructure. The Trump administration has been warning the UK to drop the Chinese controversial tech company over fears they will use it for spying.

Now the Bad News:

“Drone Maker D.J.I. May Be Sending Data to China, U.S. Officials Say.” We think DJI is “providing US critical infrastructure and law enforcement data to the Chinese government.” And now local law enforcement is using them in response to the Chinese virus. “The drones, donated by DJI, a Chinese company, have gone to 43 agencies in 22 states, all to help enforce social distancing rules.”

From the Wall Street Journal: How Coronavirus Is Eroding Privacy. Governments are imposing new digital surveillance tools to track and monitor individuals. Many citizens have welcomed tracking technology intended to bolster defenses against the novel coronavirus. Yet some privacy advocates are wary, concerned that governments might not be inclined to unwind such practices after the health emergency has passed. U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Data Privacy and Integrity Advisory Committee said that once such surveillance powers are in place, they rarely recede and can be repurposed as a political tool. Surveillance efforts this time around have a new ally: public-health experts.

The Surveillance State Thrives During the Pandemic. “Can we take government officials at their word that they’ll eventually abandon their new powers? From cellphone tracking to drone eyes in the sky, perused health records, and GPS ankle bracelets, an epidemic of surveillance-state measures is spreading across the world. It’s all done in the name of battling the spread of COVID-19, of course, since every crisis is used to justify incursions into our liberty. But long after the virus has done its worst and moved on, we’re likely to be stuck with these invasions of our privacy—unless we push back, hard.”

Google and Apple Team Up to Track Coronavirus Infecteds; Phone App Will Warn Others When Near Infecteds. The Google goblin gods and the Apple Apollonians announced that they’ve teamed together to track us for our own safety…yeah, sure. Trust them? Absolutely not.

Young Girl Plays Basketball Alone, City Takes Hoop as Part Of ‘Social Distancing.’ Her family lives on “a small mountain in Arkansas” which butts up against a city green space that includes a small basketball court, a court that’s “fairly ignored.” To emphasize how much the city ignores this particular court, Vandercook said her family used their own money to purchase a net for the basketball hoop, since it was missing. Her husband also dug a drainage canal to keep it from flooding, and regularly cleaned it of debris. But a lone child plays basketball there, and the hoop gets taken away.

VIDEO: New World Order Rising: Some (supposed) health experts and some liberal U.S. governors are at odds with President Trump starting the process of reopening the country beginning May 1; they’re pushing for a digital ID and mandatory vaccine. Can’t you just smell the agenda in the air?

Coronavirus Versus Death By Democide: Government tyranny is FAR more dangerous than coronavirus… we must not slide into socialism or communism as we attempt to survive this possibly planned-demic – or at the very least, convenient exploitation of it. In just the 20th century alone, socialist and communist regimes mass murdered 262 million people, according to a detailed analysis conducted at the University of Hawaii. What is democide? “Intentional killing of an unarmed or disarmed person by government agents acting in their authoritative capacity and pursuant to government policy or high command.”

Kissinger’s Renewed Call for a New World Order. Writing in The Wall Street Journal Friday, Kissinger declared that it is now an imperative that the world’s leaders, even as they deal with the raging pandemic, begin to make the “transition to the post-coronavirus order.” He says, “Failure to do so could set the world on fire.” “Sustaining public trust [he really means subservience] is crucial … to international peace and stability.” “The world’s democracies need to defend and sustain their Enlightenment values… [and] safeguard the principles of the liberal world order.”

PLAGUE, PESTILENCE, PLANNED-DEMIC? & FAMINE… and what about all that oil stored at sea?

Renowned physician: Trump’s ‘medicine of choice’ works with zinc. Dr. Eric Berg quoted observations made by Dr. Anthony Cardillo, who recounted his success in significantly improving the medical conditions of coronavirus patients after giving them anti-malaria medication (hydroxychloroquine) along with the zinc supplement. According to Dr. Berg, the anti-malarial medication allows zinc to infiltrate cells and prevent the coronavirus from multiplying. He emphasized that the drug should not be taken by healthy individuals or with the absence of a doctor’s prescription. He also noted that many coronavirus patients had been observed to have zinc deficiencies.

Robert F Kennedy Jr. Exposes Bill Gates’ Vaccine Agenda In Scathing Report. Read the numerous instances of Gates’ vaccines causing disastrous side effects, even causing a disease it claimed to cure. “The CDC has a large financial interest in pushing untested vaccines on the public and WHO is even more under the control of Big Pharma. The organization is corrupt beyond the meaning of the word. “The WHO is a sock puppet for the pharmaceutical industry.” — Robert F. Kennedy Jr. In his recent media appearances, Gates appears confident that the Covid-19 crisis will now give him the opportunity to force his dictatorial vaccine programs on American children.

Non-Health Experts Join the Vaccine Chorus: Bill Gates isn’t the only non-health expert adding his one-cent’s worth. Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis President Neel Kashkari said, “Without an effective therapy or a vaccine for the novel coronavirus, the U.S. economy could face 18 months of rolling shutdowns as the outbreak recedes and flares up again.” Such a convenient event for the globalists, this virus.

VIDEO: Anthony Fauci, a Fox in Charge of the Henhouse. Trump has realized too late that Fauci is a traitor. Watch the video about Fauci’s other underhanded doings in the 1980s you may not have heard about till now. Make sure to listen to the end where it speaks of an article in 2017 that shows Fauci’s NIH funded multiple Chinese research projects that focused on the genetics of the disease currently sweeping across the planet. And, in case you haven’t seen this other video yet, Fauci said in 2017 that Trump would be faced during his administration with a “surprise” outbreak.

US, Canada have funded Chinese lab eyed as likely source of coronavirus outbreak. Communist China has been entrusted with producing medical supplies and our medicines. And funding their lab experiments!? Now we are paying the price.

Opinion or Fact? COVID-19 Is A Man-Made Virus: HIV-Discoverer Says “Could Only Have Been Created in A Lab.” As the mainstream media and politicians begin to raise/admit the possibilities that the source of COVID-19 was likely a lab in Wuhan (accidentally leaked or otherwise), it appears more actual ‘scientists’ (at least those not paid by or working for a lab in Wuhan) are willing to admit this virus is man-made.

Opinion or Fact? Chilling Documentary Maps Out Likely Origin Of COVID-19. Philipp and his colleagues at The Epoch Times and NTD Television thought it their responsibility to sift through all the information available, verify it, and put it into one place. The result is the just-premiered documentary “Tracking Down the Origin of the Wuhan Coronavirus,” which is available to watch online. Less than two days after its premiere, the documentary has around 1.6 million views across different platforms.

VIDEO: “What in the World is Actually Going On? Document Reveals Plan Step by Step.” Walter Cronkite’s remarks (at the end) after receiving a globalist award was disturbing! Also not mentioned in the video is Fauci’s remark in 2017 that Trump would be hit with a surprise virus. Then, of course, there’s ID2020 that’s been in the works before this virus, and which Hellary tried to insert funding for in the current stimulus package. Then there’s Event 201 that took place in October before this virus was even a thought. Plus, there were a LOT of CEO’s that suddenly stepped down from their companies when normally one would not do so in a good economy like there was before this Pandemic. What did they know that we didn’t?

Oil Stored At Sea Hits A Record 160 Million Barrels, Doubling In Two Weeks. “This is an unprecedented time in the history of tankers, and while VLCC tanker storage is garnering the headlines, smaller crude and product tankers are also being used for storage,” said BTIG shipping analyst Gregory Lewis. Imagine the disastrous consequences if that oil ended up in the seas. Sounds like something out of the coming wrath in the Tribulation, which all who have rejected the true gospel of Christ will be left behind to face when the rapture occurs.

“And the second angel poured out his bowl upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man; and every living thing died in the sea” (Revelation 16:3).

‘Starve or get sick’: Africa’s lockdown dilemma. Some places have imposed lockdowns while others have imposed certain restrictions on movement due to the coronavirus that has begun circulating in Africa.

Smithfield in South Dakota shutting U.S. pork plant due to rash of coronavirus cases among employees. Other major U.S. meat and poultry processors, including Tyson Foods Inc, Cargill Inc, and JBS USA have already idled plants in other states.

Number of Coronavirus deaths being exaggerated? From American Thinker: “CDC guidelines for filling out death certificates mean people with mild cases who die of some unrelated disease get added to the virus’s death toll. People who aren’t infected with the virus are getting counted as fatalities.”

China changes Wuhan coronavirus death toll to 50% higher than previously released. China has revised its coronavirus death toll, saying an additional 1,290 deaths not previously were identified out of the initial coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan.

There are reports surfacing from Wuhan that claim coronavirus victims have been burned alive. Locals in Wuhan, where the Chinese coronavirus pandemic originated, say they’ve heard screams coming from funeral home furnaces, and some treated in hospitals say they saw workers put living coronavirus patients in body bags.

Ebola: 11-month-old girl becomes second to die in Congo amid fears of new wave. The country had been due to mark the official end of the second-deadliest outbreak of the virus on record, BUT on Friday a 26-year-old electrician in Beni was found to have the disease. The 11-month-old girl had been treated at the same health center. Officials say it is not yet clear how the electrician contracted Ebola. He had no known contacts with other Ebola patients and was not a survivor of the virus who could have relapsed. Over 200 people are traced to this electrician who became the first new case.

Olive tree disease across Europe. The Xylella fastidiosa pathogen has killed swathes of trees in Italy. Spread by insects, the bacterium now poses a potential threat to olive plantations in Spain and Greece. The pathogen is also in France and Portugal. It is spread by spittlebugs and can infect cherry, plum and almond trees as well.

LAST DAYS OF LOT RETURNED

Gay Dads Introduced on Disney’s DuckTales as parents of two characters in the reboot of its popular Kid’s animated series. Violet, a friend of Huey, Dewey, and Louie, has two dads who also adopted her best friend Lena. Violet says “My sister from a couple of misters.” The dads share the same last name and wear T-shirts with the phrase “I’M WITH DAD” and arrows pointing at each other. DuckTales co-executive producer and story editor Frank Angones says he’d like to make gay representation center stage but the show is rooted in 1980s characters involved in heterosexual romances. Otherwise he would have done things differently. It is apparent that this producer will further indoctrinate children by exposing them to homosexual relationships through a facade of normalcy.

Article: My 15-year-old transgender son is going through menopause – and I’m so proud of him. The mother says, “Born a girl but knowing from a young age that inside he definitely wasn’t a girl, he’s been gradually transitioning to the gender he’s clearly identified with since he was 12-years-old… What I know about parenting is that I’m just the custodian to these children living in my home. I’m here to love them and do what I can to help them to grow into whoever they know themselves to be. Because what the world needs is more people who are truly comfortable being themselves – and who accept and celebrate others for doing the same.” She needs to open a Bible and read Romans 1:18:32.

EXTREME WEATHER

Tornadoes rip U.S. South, kill at least 26. The day after Easter, rescue workers and homeowners across the U.S. South sifted through what remained of hundreds of structures destroyed by a series of tornadoes that killed at least 26 people, as the deadly weather system churned up the East Coast. Nearly 51 million people from Florida to New England were in the path of the system, with National Weather Service forecasters warning of strong winds, torrential rain and possibly more tornadoes on Monday afternoon. The system had already spawned about 60 reported tornadoes that left a path of destruction from Texas to the Carolinas on Sunday and Monday.

“Arctic April” grips North America Breaking Hundreds of All-Time Cold Records. Record cold and snowfall hit many parts of North America over the Easter weekend, continuing what has so far been a largely Arctic April. Records were toppled across many U.S. states, with Montana, Iowa, South Dakota, and Colorado seemingly worst hit. Heavy snow was forecast to continue in the Central Rockies before streaking across the Central Plains to Upstate New York through April 17. A few record lows were also forecast from the Front Range of the Rockies into the Midwest through April 18.

Thousands of homes damaged as severe thunderstorms lash Thailand. Severe weather, including strong winds and thunderstorms, hit 21 provinces in north, north-east, east and central Thailand, including capital Bangkok, from April 12 to 15. As a result, two people have lost their lives and at least 3,269 houses were damaged by floods.

Widespread flooding causes massive damage in Sana’a, Yemen. Heavy rains on April 13 caused widespread and severe flooding, resulting in at least two fatalities and massive damage to properties. Roads remained inundated on April 14.

Record-breaking April snowfall engulfs parts of Finland. Parts of Northern and Central Finland received record-breaking amounts of snowfall in April. The greatest amounts were up to 1.25 m (4.1 feet).

New fires fanned by strong winds flared near Chernobyl in Ukraine on Thursday. Emergency workers had managed several days ago to contain an initial bout of fires that tore through forests around the site. Ukrainian authorities have played down any radiation risk. Over 1,000 people were involved in trying to extinguish the fires. Emergency workers used planes and helicopters to put out the earlier blaze this week but heavy winds prevented them from doing so on Thursday. The acrid smoke from the wildfires has blanketed Ukraine’s Kyiv, the capital and most populous city in Ukraine.

EARTHQUAKES IN DIVERSE PLACES: Reporting the ones that were 6.0 and over

6.0 off the coast of New Zealand on April 13. 6.0 off the coast of Honduras on April 16. 6.6 off the coast of Japan on April 18.

VOLCANOES

Indonesia: Anak Krakatau not alone as three more Indonesian volcanoes erupt. Three more volcanoes (Mount Kerinci in West Sumatra, Mount Semeru in East Java and Mount Merapi in Central Java) showed elevated activity on Friday (April 11), the same day that Anak Krakatau erupted. Activity at the four mountains was unrelated to one another, as each volcano had a different magma chamber.

See this report on current Volcanic activity around the world.

ISLAMIC TERRORISM

Germany arrests ISIS suspects plotting attacks on US bases. The suspects were also said to be plotting to assassinate a critic of Islam. Some reports said four were arrested; some others say five.

Suspect infiltrates IDF base, stabs soldier. The suspect, armed with a wire cutter and a knife, infiltrated a military base in southern Israel.

CIVIL UNREST

Coronavirus stay-at-home orders stir protests nationwide amid fears of economic collapse. There were a number of demonstrations of civil disobedience around the country by Americans upset with their state’s stay-at-home orders amid the pandemic. Protestors from North Carolina to Wyoming said they’ve been just as concerned with the economic and financial impact the coronavirus has inflicted on the country – echoing President Trump’s complaint that “the cure be worse than the problem.” Some Amazon as well as Instacart employees who are considered essential workers are protesting as well.

What Will You Do If They Try To Extend COVID-19 Lockdowns Into Next Year? “We are seeing a massive backlash against the coronavirus lockdowns all over the United States, and it is likely that the protests against these lockdowns will only intensify in the days ahead. But some elected officials are doubling down and insisting “shelter-in-place” orders will remain in effect in their jurisdictions for quite a few months to come. I honestly do not know how that is possibly going to work, because after just a few weeks millions upon millions of Americans have become deeply frustrated with these lockdowns. Trying to confine people to their homes for the foreseeable future is likely to spark tremendous explosions of anger, but that appears to be exactly what authorities intend to do in some of our largest urban areas.”

Yuri Besmenov warned us as early as 1984 of the Communist agenda being perpetrated upon the US to take it down (the only nation standing in the way of global government). Causing crisis, civil unrest are just part of the agendas. Besmenov, in this video, breaks down the stages of this sinister agenda.

WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS

Persia’s Provocateurs

Iranian vessels come dangerously close to U.S. military ships. Eleven vessels from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN) came dangerously close to U.S. Navy and Coast Guard ships in the Gulf, the U.S. military said on Wednesday, calling the moves “dangerous and provocative.”

Iran Deploys Missiles Covering the Strait of Hormuz. More leading up to the prophesied last days battle of Gog and Magog in Ezekiel 38-39.

Iran shows off drones that can reach Israel; threat increases. Iran’s Defense Ministry unveiled a mass of new drones over the weekend for the Islamic Republic’s army and air force. According to the Islamist regime, the drones have new capabilities, and can fly more than 1,000 km, which means they could reach Israel from Iran. Iran has been producing drones since the 1980s and is an innovator in drone warfare.

Israel accuses Hezbollah of ‘provocative’ activity. Israel accused the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah of “provocative” activity along the Lebanese-Israeli frontier and said it would complain to the U.N. Security Council [Pfft… good luck with that one. The UN could care less about Israel]. On Friday night, the Israeli military fired flares along the volatile frontier after signs of a possible border breach. It said it later found damage to the separation fence in three locations.

Kings of the East

China may be conducting secret nuclear tests, State Department warns. Considering what we know about Communist China, this is raising red flags.

Calls for “Peace and Security”(1 Thessalonians 5:3)

The UN Calls for Global Cooperation for “Peace and Security.” There will be no true peace and security until Jesus returns.

ISRAEL ELECTION DEFLECTION

The unity government that was supposed to be, is not. Rivlin gives Knesset 21 days to agree on the PM it wants, or go to new election. We have to wonder in this late hour if God intends this disruption in leadership to continue until after the rapture. President Rivlin informed Knesset Speaker Benny Gantz that his mandate to form a government had ended, after the Blue and White party leader failed to present a government to the parliament by Wednesday night’s midnight deadline. Rivlin announced earlier this week he would not hand the mandate to Gantz’s rival, Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu, but would trigger the start of the 21-day period during which the entire Knesset as a whole may select a candidate to form a government.

DEMONIC DELUSION

Poll in Britain: 1 In 5 Adult Responders Believe Martians Will Invade Earth Within Next 50 Years. Overall, half of the 2,000 British adults who took part in the survey believe in the existence of aliens and that first contact with alien lifeforms will occur in the next 50 years. 29% said they would welcome Martians to Earth if they ever visited. 22% are worried for their lives in the event of an invasion. One in six think aliens would stop by to undo the damage to the planet caused by [so-called] human-caused emissions.

ANTICHRIST AGENDAS ARE ACCELERATING EVERYWHERE

COVID-19 and the War on Cash: What Is Behind the Push for a Cashless Society? As lockdowns drag out, more individuals/businesses are going cashless (for convenience and to avoid spreading germs), using online commerce and digital currency. Yet there are more devious reasons for this re-engineering of society. A cashless society – easily monitored, controlled, manipulated, weaponized & locked down – would play right into the hands of globalist goblins.

“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six [666)” (Revelation 13:16-18).

France’s Macron Positioning Himself as Leader of the World. This article is from the odorous CNN (aka Corrupt News Network), singing the praises of Emmanuel Macron. CNN said: “Indeed, it would appear that the world could use a new leader in this time of crisis–one who is prepared to put global interests above personal or political aggrandizement. And until the US is prepared to offer such an individual, there may be no better to fill that void than France’s young, fresh voice: Emmanuel Macron.”

My Comment: FYI to CNN: Macron is the epitome of personal and political aggrandizement. Jupiterian Emmanuel Macron, EU darling who formed a “coalition of the willing” and had 10 nations represented in his Bastille Day parade, wants to be the man who ushers in world peace. Not claiming he’s actually the Antichrist, but those who’ll be left behind need to know that a man, who is surely hiding in plain sight at this late hour, will lead a 10-nation confederacy and deceive the world “at first” through peace (Daniel 8:25).

“Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time” (1 John 2:18).

“For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved” (2 Thessalonians 2:7-10).

 

What Are We Doing with Our Time? :: By Nathele Graham

“Redeeming the time, because the days are evil” (Ephesians 5:16).

Most of America and, indeed, most of the world is in seclusion. Self-isolating and social distancing are phrases that were meaningless a few months ago, but are now heard everywhere. Today we cannot stand closer than 6’ from another human being, face masks are encouraged, and we are told to stay home unless there is a real need to be out and about. I never dreamed of a time like this.

I’m very happy staying home, but I have to admit that I’d rather have it be a choice. What about you? I’m sure everyone has activities they miss. School kids miss being around friends, sports fans miss their favorite sports teams fighting for the championship, young people are unable to date, and many more social activities are no longer available. This virus will pass and life will return to some sort of normalcy, but what lasting affect will it have?

Maybe we need to take a look at life before COVID-19 and see how our priorities were out of whack.

People are now forced to stay home. Many people, Christians included, have lost their jobs. With no sports activities, clubs, and slumber parties to shuffle the kids to, there’s a lot of time in a day to fill. With no other options, do you stay home and watch TV or play video games? For all of you who have said you don’t have time to study your Bible, you now have the time. Why is it so hard to pick up the Bible and start studying? Unfortunately, many Christians will opt to get hooked on a soap opera rather than open their Bible. Instead of instilling God’s word into your heart, do you listen to news report after report telling you one contradictory story about COVID-19 after another? Rather than that, it would be better to use this time to get to know Jesus better and examine your walk with Him.

Go ahead, search the Scriptures. Use this time for good.

“These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few” (Acts 17:11-12).

We can’t do anything to change what’s happening around us, but we can change our own thinking. Scripture is good for that. Draw closer to Jesus in this time of trouble.

Where do you start when studying Scripture? That depends upon where you are in your walk with Christ. Are you a babe in Christ? I don’t mean did you just come to know him recently. No matter how long you’ve claimed to follow Him, if you haven’t grown in your walk with Him, then you’re still a babe. Most Christians have a Bible but seldom open it, so they have no real knowledge of what they believe or what Scripture says about how we are to live. A good place to begin studying is always the Gospel of John. It’s not a race, so don’t rush through it. Stop and really think about what you’re reading. This Gospel opens with a very revealing statement:

“In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God” (John1:1). Compare that verse to Genesis: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). So, logically, if the Word was in the beginning with God and was God, then the Word, Jesus Christ, is the Creator. John confirms that: “All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made” (John 1:3).

Yes, Jesus was the Word made flesh and Creator of all creation. “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” (John 1:14). 

Can you imagine what else you might learn as you read through John’s Gospel? Have a note pad and pencil with you as you read. Take notes and make comments. If a question comes to mind or something is unclear, write it down and research it. There are wonderful surprises in Scripture, and you won’t find them unless you study.

Another way to study is to choose a subject, such as God’s love, or the Rapture, or did Jesus ever claim to be God. Then, find Scriptures that talk about the particular subject. You would be wise to get a concordance and use it to find other verses where a word or phrase is used. Be sure to look at the context of each verse. It’s not a bad idea to also look up the Hebrew or Greek words to give you a deeper understanding. English translations are good for those of us who speak English, but unless you can understand the meaning in the original language, you miss a lot. For instance, the New Testament talks about love, but there are many Greek words that are translated “love” in Scripture. Each one has a different meaning. There’s the love of God, but there’s also the husband/wife love and brotherly love, etc. Love isn’t the only word like that.

Scripture is full of wonderful discoveries, and God gave us Scripture in order that we will come to know Him better and mold our life to His will.

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works” (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

You might also begin a study of prophecy. Prophecy is being fulfilled rapidly, but many Christians argue about things like the Rapture, or whether Christians have replaced Israel. There are many opinions, but the only opinion that matters is God’s. God spoke through prophets of old about events of today.

“That ye be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation” (2 Peter 3:2-4). 

Scoffers only scoff because they haven’t studied Scripture and don’t have a clue as to what it says. Many say that the word Rapture isn’t in the Bible so it isn’t a valid belief. It’s true that the word isn’t found in Scripture, but no English word is found in the original language. We say “Rapture,” but the Greek word is “harpazo.” Paul spoke of the Rapture/harpazo many times.

“Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 4:17). 

The phrase “caught up” is translated from “harpazo,” which means to be “snatched out or away.” In this case, we will be caught up/snatched away before God’s wrath of the Tribulation. Not only that, but God gave a “picture” of the Rapture way back in Genesis. Enoch was Raptured prior to God’s judgment by the Flood, just like Christians will be Raptured prior to God’s judgment. When Paul first visited Thessalonica, he was there three weeks and taught them about Jesus, how to find salvation, and about the Rapture. Most Christians can sit in a pew every Sunday for many years and never hear of these things. That’s a sad comment on pastors.

As for Christians replacing Israel, that’s just wrong. God will never replace Israel with any people group. Many Old Testament prophets talk about Israel returning to their land and much more that we see happening today.

Another wonderful book in the Bible to study is Ruth. It’s a beautiful love story, but it also is filled with symbolism. Naomi was a Jewish widow who needed to redeem her land. She had a Gentile daughter-in-law, Ruth, who was also a widow, but loved Naomi and learned about God through Naomi. Then, there is Boaz, who was Naomi’s next of kin and eligible to redeem her land. He did that by marrying Ruth, a Gentile bride, just as Jesus, our Kinsman Redeemer, will marry His Gentile Bride and redeem all of Israel. It’s a wonderful book to read and study.

With so much time on your hands, now might be a good time to study about sin. What is sin? Where did it originate? When you study sin, you’ll begin to see things in your own life that you need to change.

“And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?” (Matthew 7:3). 

Too often we can see the sin of others but then justify the sin in our own life because “everybody does it.” Instead of comparing your life to world standards, compare your life to God’s standards. Then, when we are allowed to venture out into society again, we can be better ambassadors for our Lord. People will see a change in us, and we can share the Gospel. Many Christians talk about how we need a revival, but they just don’t want to revive their own love for Christ.

Brothers and sisters, we are living in the end of days (study about that in Scripture). There should be nothing more important to us than serving Jesus and spreading the Gospel. Instead of stuffing your head full of the latest COVID-19 news story, stuff your heart, mind, and soul with Jesus. His love is eternal.

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things” (Philippians 4:8). 

When you’re trying to decide what to do with the extra time you have on your hands, try spending time with Jesus.

God bless you all,
