It’s High Time to Wake Up!
“And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof” (Romans 13:11-14).
Apostasy and Doctrines of Demons

Televangelist Keith Moore gets 3rd jet at $17.5 million; Creflo Dollar’s new jet listed at $18.6 million. “…there will be false teachers among you…. And many will follow their destructive ways…. By covetousness[strong desire for material possessions] they will exploit you with deceptive words” (2 Peter 2:1-3).
Godless Global Government and its “Climate Change” aka Depopulation Agenda
Environmental Protection Agency to dump $4.3 billion in taxpayer-funded grants to climate change projects. (Related: U.N.’s climate change agenda is designed to starve & kill you, not “save the planet.”)
Hatred of Christianity
Christians arrested in Paris for driving around a bus with message, “Stop attacks on Christians.” Jailed for spreading their message when Christians were mocked during the Paris Olympics.
Hatred of Jews and Israel
The ‘big lie’ of Hamas propaganda and the biblical mandate to advocate for Israel. Between Oct. 7- Jan. 29, pro-‘Palestinian’ TikTok posts received 236 million views compared to 14 million pro-Israel views. This reflects TikTok’s younger demographic, which correlates with anti-Israel fever on university campuses. Joel 3 warns of God’s judgment coming to those who are against Israel.
Israel’s Erdan at U.N.: ‘You convened for these terrorists, but not for the children of Majdal Shams.’ He presented images of Hamas terrorists eliminated in the school and remarked: “You convened for these terrorists who used a school as their terror base, but for the children of Majdal Shams, murdered by Hezbollah’s rocket fire, you couldn’t find the time for an urgent session! Shame on you!”
‘Catastrophe for Jewish students’: historic body of university professors approves academic boycotts. This clears the way for scholar-activists to escalate efforts to purge universities of Zionism and educational partnerships with Israel. By this action, the AAUP offers cover to antisemites’ campaign to destroy Israel. But that’s their goal. Following Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, the group said nothing about the terrorists’ atrocities. At the time, dozens of professors cheered Hamas’ violence and encouraged extreme anti-Zionist demonstrations in which masses of students and faculty called for eliminating Israel “from the river to the sea,” widely considered a call for genocide.
Lessons of October 7 not learned in Judea and Samaria. IDF surveillance post operators who served in Judea and Samaria are warning of another horrific scenario in the near future. “Thousands of ‘Palestinians’ approach the fence, and the IDF does nothing. We’ve been seeing 60,000 people – and that is just one hole in the fence. There are many breaches in the fence; thousands could cross in one night. Maybe some go to work; beyond that, we have no idea what they are doing here.”
Anti-Israel protests set to reignite on US and Canadian college campuses as YDSA plans student strike.
Pro-‘Palestinian’ college students are planning to skip classes at the start of the semester to pressure their schools to divest from Israel. The far-left Young Democratic Socialists of America is urging its members across over 100 university chapters nationwide to join a “Student Strike for Palestine.”
Is Anti-Semitism now a global problem with no solution? It’s very concerning for Jews around the world, possibly worse in some countries like Great Britain or France.
Pervasive Perversion
Massachusetts passes radical pro-LGBT ‘equality’ bill seeking to completely redefine the family. When the LGBT movement used the courts to force same-sex “marriage” on America, the talking point was, “This won’t affect anything else.” Now, it’s evident their next major goal was to use state legislatures to completely redefine the family.
Olympics Committee president: we’d screen out men if science could tell men and women apart. Bach suggested no such test exists. Pro-LGBT brain rot has made its way to world Olympics.
Won 11 medals as a man – Italian athlete will now compete with women at Paralympic Games in Paris.

And the Abortion Abomination
Kamala’s and Walz’s extreme agenda to eliminate ALL limits on abortion. Harris and running-mate Walz have a record of supporting unlimited abortion and voting against life-saving legislation.
Iniquity Shall Abound
Maryland statewide enforcement operation arrests 232 fugitives. Operation Silver Shield arrested fugitives wanted for various crimes. 4 critically missing children were recovered.
More Last Days Treachery
The Weird, Creepy, Surreal, and Dangerous 2024 Campaign of the Left. [I would add Smelly.] Examples: How can Kamala Harris merely promise fixes to come in 2025 for inflation and an open border? Since she’s vice president, why can’t she enact her proposed solutions to these problems (which she helped create) now? Has the chameleon-like Harris now become a temporary MAGA candidate, as she expropriates Trump’s positions from border security to no taxes on tips? Does the media care to ask the new 80-day MAGA Harris why she’s renounced many of her once emphatic beliefs? Also, how interesting that Biden was only suddenly announced as unfit just before the convention to run for reelection, then Harris was put forth as the nominee without a single primary and preventing any rival candidates from challenging her? Etc., etc.
Harris campaign teams up with Google to fake endorsements, edit news headlines, according to multiple reports.
“History of wasteful and careless spending, etc., under Gov. Walz (Kamala’s running mate).” As Minnesota’s governor, he gave almost $100k in Covid funds to ‘abortion doula’ trainers. Part of the Covid funds went to a queer, trans, etc., organization committed to reproductive justice and decolonial practices. During the pandemic, seniors dying in droves in nursing homes should have been prioritized, not advancing a political agenda. Also, he’s drawn heavy fire recently amid accusations of “stolen valor” for embellishing his military service record. And he has ties to Communist China.
Teachers unions among largest donators to Walz: ‘no difference’ between their far-left agendas. Walz agrees with teachers’ unions on abortion, transgenderism, and making sexually graphic books available in schools. He follows divisive policies set by state and national teachers’ unions. As a result, K-12 test scores are at all-time lows; crime, violence, and taxes are at all-time highs; and families are fleeing Minnesota in record numbers.
Deliberate Border Disorder and its Consequences
‘Reshaping the Electorate’: Biden-Harris regime granting citizenship at fastest rate in a decade.
Illinois Halal Festival: Invasion of Sharia into America. It’s not just a cultural celebration; it’s calculated to infiltrate America with Islamic Sharia law, an insidious agenda that threatens Western civilization.
Leftist U.K. govt plots to scatter migrants all over Britain despite protests. Britain’s Labour gov’t will spread illegal immigrants all over the country under its “dispersed accommodation” policy.
London’s police commissioner actually threatens to extradite & jail US citizens over online posts regarding UK’s riots. The murders of little girls by a Rwandan started the riots, which still continue, even though he’s a first-generation immigrant. One key aspect that makes this apparent crackdown on social media particularly shocking is that the British government is threatening to extradite American citizens from the U.S. to be jailed in the U.K. for violating their rules about political speech online.
Surveillance Orwellian Society
Personal records of 2.9 billion people were stolen from National Public Data earlier this year, and this month, almost all information stolen was posted online for anyone to freely take: names, addresses, phone numbers, employment histories, birth dates, and Social Security numbers. This is one of the most egregious privacy violations in the history of the world, but hardly anyone knows what’s happened.
U.S. sues TikTok and its parent company over child privacy for repeatedly violating the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. China, through its TikTok in the U.S., intends to destroy American youth’s minds. Also see ‘TikTok Jihad’ on the rise in Europe following Hamas Oct 7 attack. Some have used TikTok to radicalize/recruit young Muslims in Europe and the West, influencing them to carry out terrorist attacks.
U.K.’s slide into totalitarianism: grim echo of communist regimes. A father of young children has been imprisoned for 12 weeks for expressing his opinion in a Facebook conversation with a family member. Also see How Labour and the political left plan to undermine our hard-won freedoms, using unrest in the U.K. as an excuse to crack down on free speech.
Want More Freedom of Speech? Try Less Government! The Biden Administration has made speech regulation a priority. Biden even said companies refusing to censor citizens were “killing people.” His administration has created an anti-free speech record rivaled only by the Adams Administration, which used Alien and Sedition Acts to arrest political opponents. Release of the Twitter Files destroyed any plausible deniability of the government’s role in this censorship system.
Plague, Pestilence, and Planned-demics
Armyworm invasion eating up crops in northern Alabama, many acres in a very short time.
Here comes the fear: the WHO warns new strain of Monkeypox is emergency “for the entire globe.” We had quite a few months without an official “global health emergency” to be concerned about, but now that’s over. A day later, confirmation that something big could be happening. A day after the WHO classified the Monkeypox outbreak in Africa as a “public health emergency of international concern,” a case of the new strain was confirmed in Sweden. Did the WHO know about this case beforehand? Also, one expert now says there are “almost certainly” cases in the U.K. already. Will we soon see cases of the new mutant strain popping up everywhere?
Pandemic-vaccine industry organizations seek to raise $123 billion. WHO $11.1 billion, GAVI $11.9 billion, IDA $100 billion, Pandemic Fund $2 billion. Where do they expect the money to come from?
Democrats and globalists ‘urgently’ prepare to re-impose Covid-style policies on schools. A former high-ranking “public health” bureaucrat in the Obama administration warned gov’t schools to urgently prepare to re-impose these policies in response to an expected upcoming pandemic. Among the key measures is a push for mass vaccination.
Nearly half of Covid vaccine study participants reported sleep disorders, a Jordanian study found. The study found narcolepsy symptoms are possibly an adverse effect of Covid injections. 48% of study participants reported excessive daytime sleepiness, 20% reported sleep paralysis, 15% reported hypnagogic hallucinations, 25% reported sleep attacks, and fragmented nighttime sleep was reported by 42.3% of the survey participants.

Also see Layoffs announced at multiple companies this summer. Planned layoffs are expected to collectively hit thousands who work in industries including tech, media, and auto.
From global financial crisis to the mark of the beast: how we’re most likely to get from where we are to where the world will be in years to come. This coming system is one of many signs the Bible says will appear in the end times, and our generation is witness to their emergence and convergence. No other generation can say this. Jesus said, “When you begin to see these things, you can know His return is near, right at the door” (Matthew 24:33). Amen; come, Lord Jesus!

Wars and Rumors of Wars
With F-22s and ‘mini aircraft carrier,’ U.S. flexes muscle against Iranian threats. “While war is not inevitable, the U.S. will defend Israel if it were attacked,’ Pentagon vows amid fears of Iranian attack.
Israel’s Foreign Minister says international coalition should join attack on Iran if it attacks Israel, one led by US, UK, & France. “Iran must understand that if it won’t stop its direct and proxy aggression against Israel, it will pay a heavy strategic and economic price; that is the only chance of stopping an all-out war.”

Concluding Scripture
