How to Start a War :: By Geri Ungurean

It is so very obvious that the political climate in the U.S. is extremely dangerous and leaves us vulnerable to attacks.

Who is going to believe illegitimate Joe Biden who can hardly finish a sentence and often forgets where he is?

And who will believe a president who walks back his empty threats?

The Bible says this:

“A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways” (James 1:8).

Also, I cannot imagine the people of Israel and its leadership – how they must feel after the outpouring of love from the Trump administration; and now the hostile Biden administration. They are empowering Iran to carry on with its enrichment of uranium as they get closer to having nuclear weapons with Israel’s name on them.

I’ve read that the leadership of Israel has planned to meet Biden and his people soon. I hope they bring bag lunches with them. Do you remember when Obama walked out on Netanyahu and closed the door on him?

God does not take kindly to countries that hate Israel, but Biden would not understand this – not at all.

He is clueless.

Wars often arise from uncertainty. When strong countries appear weak, truly weaker ones take risks they otherwise would not.

Sloppy braggadocio and serial promises of restraint can trigger wars, too. Empty tough talk can needlessly egg on aggressors. But mouthing utopian bromides convinces bullies that their targets are too sophisticated to counter aggression.

Sometimes announcing “a new peace process” without any ability to bring either novel concessions or pressures only raises false hopes—and furor.

Every new American president is tested to determine whether the United States can still protect friends such as Europe, Japan, South Korea, and Israel. And will the new commander in chief deter U.S. enemies Iran and North Korea—and keep China and Russia from absorbing their neighbors?

President Joe Biden, and those around him, seem determined to upset the peace they inherited.

Soon after former President Donald Trump left office, Russian President Vladimir Putin began amassing troops on the Ukrainian border and threatening to attack.

Putin earlier had concluded that Trump was dangerously unpredictable and perhaps best not provoked. After all, the Trump administration took out Russian mercenaries in Syria. It beefed up defense spending and upped sanctions.

The Trump administration flooded the world with cheap oil to Russia’s chagrin. It pulled out from asymmetrical missile treaties with Russia. It sold sophisticated arms to the Ukrainians. The Russians concluded that Trump might do anything, and so waited for another president before again testing America.

In contrast, Biden often talks provocatively—while carrying a twig. He has gratuitously called Putin “a killer.” And he warned that the Russian dictator “will pay a price” for supposedly interfering in the 2020 election.

Unfortunately, Biden’s bombast follows four years of a Russian collusion hoax, fueled by a concocted dossier paid for by the Democratic National Committee and the campaign of 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Biden and others claimed Trump was, in the words of former President Barack Obama’s former director of national intelligence, James Clapper, a “Russian asset.”

If Biden is seeking to provoke a nation with more than 6,000 deliverable nuclear weapons, he is certainly not backing up his rhetoric with force.

Biden may well decrease the Pentagon budget. He also seems to have forgotten that Trump was impeached for supposedly imperiling Ukraine, when in fact, he sold Ukraine weapons.

While Biden was talking loudly to Putin, his administration was being serially humiliated by China. Chinese diplomats dressed down their American counterparts in a recent meeting in Anchorage, Alaska. They gleefully recycled domestic left-wing boilerplate that a racist America has no moral authority to criticize China.

If Trump was unpredictably blunt, Biden is too often predictably confused. And he appears frail, sending the message to autocracies that America’s commander in chief is not fully in control.

Biden has not, as he promised, demanded from China transparency about the origins of the COVID-19 virus in Wuhan. By summer, that plague may have killed 600,000 Americans.

More disturbing, as Russia puts troops on the Ukrainian border, China is flying into Taiwanese air space, testing its defenses—and the degree to which the United States cares.

For a half-century, American foreign policy sought to ensure that Russia was no closer to China than either was to the United States. Now, the two dictatorships seem almost joined at the hip, as each probes U.S. responses or lack thereof. Not surprisingly, North Korea in late March resumed its firing of missiles over the Sea of Japan.

In the Middle East, Biden inherited a relatively quiet landscape. Arab nations, in historic fashion, were making peace with Israel. Both sides were working to deter Iranian-funded terrorists. Iran itself was staggered by sanctions and recession. Its arch-terrorist mastermind, Gen. Qasem Soleimani, was killed by a U.S. drone strike.

Under Trump, the United States left the Iran nuclear deal, which was a prescription for the certain Iranian acquisition of a nuclear weapon. The theocracy in Tehran, the chief sponsor of terror in the world, was in its most fragile condition in its 40 years of existence.

Now, U.S. diplomats bizarrely express an interest in restoring cordial relations with Iran, rebooting the Iran deal, and dropping sanctions against the regime. If all that happens, Iran will likely get a bomb soon.

More importantly, Iran may conclude that the United States has distanced itself from Israel and moderate Arab regimes.

One of two dangers will then arise. Either Iran will feel it can up its aggression, or its enemies will conclude they have no choice but to take out all Iranian nuclear facilities.

Biden would do well to remember old American diplomatic adages about speaking softly while carrying a big stick, keeping China and Russia apart, being no better friend (or worse enemy), and letting sleeping dogs lie. Source

Brethren, it is no secret that under the Trump administration, America was strong, and our enemies seemed to tip-toe around her so as to not poke a dangerous foe. They knew that Trump followed through with all things he promised. He followed through quickly – we saw this often.

But now we are under Marxist rule, and our economy is faltering from the plandemic restrictions. We seem like a wounded animal to our enemies, and that makes us a perfect target for those who mean us harm.

We must pray for America and for Israel. We must pray for the remnant of believers in our Nation. And always pray for God’s will to be done.

How Can I Be Saved?

Shalom B’Yeshua

MARANTHA!!

The Race Is About Over :: By Dennis Huebshman

If you feel as if you’re running in circles and trying to put round pegs in square holes, join the club. As much as I wish I could say it’s going to get better here on earth, the Bible doesn’t back this up. Yet, for a believer in Jesus, it’s a time to get excited and a time of preparation for His calling us Home. (all emphasis mine)

Starting with 1 John 2:15-17; “Do not love the world, or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world – the desires of the flesh, and the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life – is not from the Father, but is from the world. And, the world is passing away along with its desires, but who ever does the will of God abides forever.”

Moving to 1 John 2:22-23; “Who is the liar, but he who denies that Jesus is Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also.”

We’re told that we must follow God’s commandments, yet exactly what are His commandments? There are people today that say we must follow the 10 Commandments that were given to Moses by God. While this would be admirable, how many people violate the fourth commandment, which states, “Keep the Sabbath Day holy”?

In Matthew 22:36-40, Jesus was asked by a religious lawyer, “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law? And He said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And, a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.'”

Our Savior gave these two commandments, which encompass all the ten. If we have Jesus in our hearts and follow His will, the so-called “pleasures” of this earth are meaningless compared to what lies ahead for us.

As Paul said in Philippians 1:20-23, “as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always, Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or death. For to me to live is Christ; and to die is gain. If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose, I cannot tell. I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better.”

As stated in the past, the actual act of dying isn’t something I look forward to, but death itself does not cause me fear. We are assured that all who truly call on Jesus to be their Savior will have eternity with Him in Heaven. Our last breath taken here will find us immediately in His presence. Even better yet, His coming to call His flock – all true believers – up to meet Him in the air is closer than we can even imagine. The trumpet of God will sound, a shout from an archangel, and we’ll be in the presence of Jesus. We will have a brand-new eternal, immortal body and a mindset such as His, which will be free from temptation to sin.

We are seeing definite dividing lines between the prince of this world (Satan) and our Blessed Savior. Satanic worship is out in the open as never before, and people are actually proud to call themselves disciples of Lucifer. There are even tennis shoes that have been manufactured with the claim they have a drop of human blood in the soles. While there is controversy as to the actual manufacturer, it’s said that 666 pairs have been made at a cost of over $1,000 per pair. It’s a definite “In Your Face, God” issue.

The question remains, how much longer, Father, are we to endure such evil? As much as those of us who are already saved have a desire to leave here and be with Jesus, God has a desire to add as many souls as possible before He starts the 7-year wrath/tribulation (2 Peter 3:9). If He had sent Jesus for the righteous about 35 years ago, I would have been counted with the lost. It took Noah 100 years to build the Ark, but when it was done, God Himself closed the door. I believe He is giving the world a bit more time for those on the “edge” to reach out and be saved.

However, the moment will come when He says, “enough already.” He will take last-minute calls for souls to be saved, just as He did the thief on the cross who accepted Jesus. Then, this world will enter the most terrible 7-year period of time ever. People today who refuse to accept the Savior are referenced in 1 Corinthians 1:18 and 2 Thessalonians 2. The word of the Lord is foolishness to them, and God will send them a strong deluding influence. They will eventually end up at the great white throne and spend eternity in hell.

For the saved, it will be as Revelation 2:17 says; “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers, I will give him some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.”

The “hidden manna” represents the true word that only true believers can and will understand. The white stone was added to a garland wreath that was given to victorious athletes in the first century. This was for their admission to the celebration following the games. Our “new name” represents a personal message from Jesus for each soul that arrives, and only the one receiving it will know the meaning.

To conquer the lure of this world, it’s as simple as A, B, C. First, admit we’re all sinners in need of a Savior to rescue us from all the evil here. Next, believe that Jesus died for our sins and was raised on the third day to conquer sin and death for all who would receive and accept His gift. Finally, call on the name of the Lord, and you will be saved. This is found in Romans 10:9-13, and don’t add to or take away from any of the steps.

God has given us His promise that all who receive and accept His Son will have an eternal home in Heaven, in a place prepared by the hand of the Savior Himself (John 14:1-3).

Being a true, fair and just God, all who refuse the gift given by Jesus, one-third of the Trinity, will appear at the great white throne of Revelation 20:11-15 and receive their final sentence to the lake of fire forever. This was originally made for Satan and his fallen angels (demons), as given in Matthew 25:41.

It’s up to each and every person to receive or reject the Savior. It goes beyond my comprehension that anyone would purposely choose eternal condemnation over eternal paradise. However, there are more in that category than on the straight and narrow path (Matthew 7:13-14).

Today is not too early to call on Him, as tomorrow may just be too late. No matter what you have done in the past, you will be forgiven if you sincerely call on and ask Jesus to be your Savior. Then, just as Jesus said to the thief on the cross, “Today you will be with Me in paradise.” You may not leave earth today, but if you do, this promise is yours. Hope to see you at “Home.”

Come, Lord Jesus!
