Israel, Truth, Facts and The Sin of Omission :: By Dave Hubley

Truth: Reality according to God’s Word.

Iyah May, an Australian singer, had some interesting lyrics written into this song called “Karmaggedon.”

The video came at considerable personal cost to her, as she was dropped by her manager for refusing to change the lyrics.

As I listened to them, I found them to be interesting and a pretty good assessment of current events. I don’t understand all the personal inferences, as the names she cites are unknown to me, but the rest of the lyrics are clear, and I got her point.

At the 2:07 minute mark, I heard this line: “While we’re fed all these distractions, kids are killed by Israel’s actions.” I found myself wondering, “What does she mean?”

Is she condemning Israel for defending themselves? The natural and very sad and unfortunate Truth of war is non-combatants (most of whom are innocents) get caught up in the violence and are harmed in the process.

This happens in every single war, every single time, everywhere.

And the Truth about this war is that Israel didn’t start it.

Or:

Is she condemning the fact that the constant condemnation of Israel is a distraction from the ugly truths of the times in which we live?

The answer to that would have to be provided by her or whoever wrote the lyrics. It would be interesting to know what the writer of them really meant to convey.

At any rate, she doesn’t mince any words.

I am truly uncertain of which meaning was intended, but it caused some thoughts to rise to the surface, at least in my mind: Have the sins of omission and spin that pass for “truth” in this world become so common that it has become much more difficult to detect them when they are purposely blended in with all the “routine” lying?

Ultimately, falsehoods, in whatever form they may take, are able to be quickly discerned when we have the Holy Spirit and the scriptures embedded in our hearts and spirit. We can readily detect the immoral relativism of the world when it collides with Truth. We are given this gift by God when we repent and receive His Son as our Redeemer and Savior.

It is a wonderful gift indeed, and it enables us to endure and stand up in this season of constant deception (Ephesians 6:10-17).

I have bulleted a couple of these lies and sins of omission below as they relate to Israel since that is who she specifically referenced, and they are such a frequent target.

>Israel is the default recipient of blame in almost every case where they are even remotely involved in “mainstream reporting” in the expanding plague of worldwide antisemitism. This is just as God’s prophetic Word foretold.

>The murders of Israeli women, children, and non-combatants are conveniently omitted in the process of reporting, commentary, and opinions expressed by those who wear deception as a breastplate and wield it like a sword. I can only conclude that this omission of facts is being done intentionally as the inconvenient presence of facts and Truth undermines their real message: Attempted justification of Jew hatred.

One of the more obvious characteristics of deceivers is that they employ this tactic so often that, eventually, even the most oblivious individuals notice them.

What I am NOT saying: That Israel is automatically exempt from the burden of Truth. They are not.

What I am saying is: Israel (like every other country and Jews, like any other peoples), ARE entitled to the facts.

They don’t get too much of that in the way of fair treatment and honest reporting from the world’s contemporary “news sources,” blogs, websites, and governments.

And let’s not forget the UN: A perfect example of a coin-operated vending machine for “sins of omission.”

Bill O’Reilly’s use of the word “spin” seems to be the plumb line where most of the reporting on the Israelis and their treatment by the UN are concerned.

One of the more insidious lies perpetrated against Israel is that they are engaged in genocide: No one has attempted to avoid injury to non-combatants more than the Israeli Military has.

From a tactical military standpoint, it is not wise and costs unnecessary KIA and WIA to Israeli troops. In many cases, Israeli civilians have also paid that price.

It is a political appeasement maneuver, not a military one, and their enemies do not extend that same consideration to them.

What I am also saying is: No one is entitled to fabricate their own “facts.” God is not deceived by any of the lies or omissions of Truth. Neither is He unaware of the motivations for the omitting of any facts that are in contradiction of that Truth.

Will Donald Trump succeed in ending this war between Israel and those who hate them? Not according to the Word of God. Certainly, peace should be pursued, but not if it requires any form of dividing of Israel’s land. There will be severe consequences, God has warned, for those who do this (Joel 3:1-3).

He may delay things for a time, but it will not last. The “peacemakers” don’t seem to understand (or don’t want to) that those they are dealing with worship a “god” that encourages them to lie to anyone who won’t bend the knee to it. And so, they do so.

Reportedly, the sticking point of the so-called cease-fire is the lack of Hamas providing information on the hostages. As much as I hate to ask it, it must be considered: Is the reason for this lack of reporting because there are so few, if any, left alive, and Hamas is trying to avoid the day of reckoning when that becomes clearly understood?

Worse still. Will there even be a “day of reckoning” by the world?

Truth is, there will be a day of reckoning, but it will come from El Shaddai, God Almighty. It is inescapable (Revelation CH 4-20).

There is no legitimate reason to believe that peace and prosperity will be here for good in any worldly sense, even if Trump appears to succeed.

“For when they say, ‘Peace and safety!’ then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape”(1 Thessalonians 5:3).

Now to the crux of this article.

(There is a special message at the end of this article for those who might happen to read this and do not have Jesus in their life and are looking for peace and a way to better understand the present-day insanity and confusion.)

If you possess a Bible, I urge you to open it and read it. If you do not, now is the time to obtain one, preferably in (KJV, NKJV, BSB, NASB, NIV) versions. This will enable you to look up the following verses and see for yourself if they accurately describe the current state of the world. (Romans 1:18-32), (2 Timothy 1:5), (2 Peter 3:3), (Matthew 24:6-8, 9-12).

We are living in the world prophesied by the Word of God to exist just prior to the end of the age.

If you are concerned about the instability of your future, you are still able to look these Bible verses up online (one example is biblehub.com), but I suspect that it, along with numerous other online resources, will become one of the first targets of those who seek to destroy freedom of speech and access to non-propagandized, Truthful information.

A hard copy of the Word of God does not depend on fallible electronics.

If you are content with trusting in the expectation of the Trump administration “making America great again,” it may appear that he is making that happen, but you are building your future on sinking sand.

These events have to happen sometime, and the evidence of Scriptural accuracy is clearly pointing to very soon.

Am I being purposely negative or full of “doom and gloom”? No, I have just placed my trust in the One True God and the brilliant light of His Son, Jesus Christ, and the Truth of His Glorious Gospel.

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life” (John 5:24).

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me” (Revelation 3:20).

If you feel the Lord’s urging you to receive Him as your One and Only Savior, please understand that you must open the door while you are still in your living years.

The special message I promised you:

For anyone who may read this article and has not trusted in Jesus Christ and therefore has no hope or peace in your life.

You can have hope. You can have the peace that Jesus has promised to all who have made Him their Lord and Savior. The peace that passes understanding.

It requires that you come before God on His terms and that you do so in your living years.

And, what are His terms according to His Word?

Genuine repentance (turning to God instead of continuing to reject or ignore Him).
Confession of sins (that you are a sinner and acknowledge that to God).
That you understand that the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).
To acknowledge to God that you are unable to pay that debt.
Belief that Jesus Christ paid your death sentence for you on the cross and rose from the grave three days later, conquering death, just as He promised.
To believe that Jesus is the Way, the only Way, that God has established by which humans may be saved from the consequences of their sin and rebellion.

God has made it absolutely clear that there is no one who comes before Him, under His terms, that will be refused.

No one: no race, no color, no country of origin, regardless of any previous belief system: no one.
No matter what your past sins have been, God can and WILL forgive you because He says He will.
Salvation is available to everyone without any exceptions.

If you put all your trust for salvation in Jesus, and Him only, you can follow that prayer up by simply saying, “Thank you, Father God, for hearing my prayer and saving me,” because we can trust Him to keep His Word. He always has. He always will.

“Truly, Truly, I say to you that he who hears My words and believes the One who sent Me has eternal life and will not be condemned. He has crossed from death to life” (John 5:24).

There are no answers and there is no hope in the world by governments, organizations, politics or politicians. There are only lies and deception. But you can have the Truth and the peace you seek.

The answers are in the Word of God—The Bible. If you ask God, with all your heart, He will hear you.

“And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13).

Endtime Technology Booms: From Bezzle to Fizzle, Part 2 :: By Wilfred Hahn

Published on: January 11, 2025 by RR10

We continue with our examination of the relationship of financial booms and busts and the advancement of technologies that will allow Satan to wield power over humanity. Again, reviewing history, we know that booms and busts go through several stages. First, a catalyst is needed … something that is newly discovered or developed that holds great promise. It may be a newly invented technology (for example, the railroad, or the automobile). Or it may be the discovery of a major gold deposit (or some other mineral). Whatever the case, a general pattern may be observed relating to the booms and busts.

We must understand the role of money and greed. Whenever money is on the move, huge forces are unleashed. Profits attract investors. This, in turn, boosts the share prices of the companies that are involved, making even more capital available to them. This helps to accelerate development of the new technologies that may be involved. Investors clamor to chase up the share values. The more that share prices rise, the more willing investors queue up to buy even more shares.

At this point, a mania usually takes hold. Share values rise for no other reason than that share prices are soaring and are expected to do so far into the future. All connection with reality is lost. Finally, the bubble bursts … this always being the case. Share prices of the bubble stocks then collapse. Losses of 90% and more are typical. Certainly, Satan takes advantage of human beings who are spurred by greed and madness.

In the boom phase, the financial wealth that appears to have been created is seemingly beyond measure. Stock bubbles give rise to many new billionaires …some even super-wealthy plutocrats. Not unusually, many of these newly rich titans, having accumulated tens and hundreds of billions in financial wealth, become evangelists for various humanist causes … some outright vainglorious.

Mammon Dangling Incentives to Boom and Bust

Why is there such a huge financial award for mankind’s new technology booms? Why does new technology get such a big boost from Mammon … only to be followed by busts and enormous investment losses? Few understand the significance of the boom/bust cycle … the rapid rise and bursts of investment bubbles.

It is as designed. Mammon has a pull on humanity like no other force. Like no other, Satan understands the behaviors and capricious whims of mankind. He knows how to lure mankind to do his will.

After all, he is given such lofty titles as “the ruler of this world” (John 12:31), “father of lies” (John 8:44), “god of this world” (2 Corinthians 4:4), “ruler of the power of the air” (Ephesians 2:2), and Beelzebul, “ruler of the demons” (Matthew 10:25; Mark 3:22; Luke 11:15).

Significance of Endtime Busts

Of what significance are economic booms and busts? Crucially, do they factor into an endtime agenda? The answer to the latter question is undoubtedly yes, it is of great importance. Especially so, given that the current bubble is, in fact, so big that it is literally engulfing the entire world and, along the way, is rearranging global wealth and economic power distribution. These developments promote the control (capture) of the entire world. Understanding that, indeed, there is an agenda to control the entire world through one dictator, we then understand its endtime significance.

This latest extension of the technology bubble is different from previous manias. For one, as mentioned, it is of global span as never before. The entire world has been inveigled to its attractions. Secondly, the technology bubbles of the last 25 years have all centered on information management. These applications have served to network and centralize the world.

Regarding the “Handi” … or as we in North America call it, the smartphone … we have witnessed the fastest global adoption of a new technology than ever before in history. In a timespan of only 11 years, over one-half of the world’s population has purchased one. It is estimated that global penetration of the smartphone was 69% at 2023 year-end. In the US, by comparison, the penetration rate was 82%.

This is a key objective and game point for Satan. He is not omnipresent as is the Holy Spirit or God. His promotion of global networking partially addresses his handicap in this regard. Most critical is the individual connection … the social media component. Critically, more than half of mankind already has a smartphone of some type. These users are all directly and personally hooked into the worldwide web (www).

According to experts, the number of smartphones in the world is expected to exceed 8 billion by 2029. (For purposes of comparison, the world population at the end of 2023 was 8.2 billion.)

Choice of Good and Bad

The world makes its choices. Mankind can use its technologies for good or bad. However, technology uniquely is a double-edged sword. The conveniences it offers all come with a price … usually a vulnerability of some kind. It may be a dependence, a loss of independence and self-reliance, or a rising vulnerability to widening controls and tracking.

Technology (and knowledge of true science, for that matter) always moves forward. Its advances do not reverse. Yes, it is possible that some new inventions may be sequestered because of their existential dangers … as has been attempted with weapons-grade nuclear applications. However, once mankind has the knowledge, it is not likely to reverse. We have to live with it.

For the Christian, the progression of science and technology presents additional challenges. While on the one hand, enjoying the conveniences that technology offers, we must be alert to the increasing vulnerabilities and unholiness. It may also introduce temptations. And we must not lose an attitude of reliance upon God.

In the case of the advance of the world-capturing smartphone and other technologies, we see that humanity chooses to become increasingly smug and proud. Worldliness and ungodliness find ever bigger and more effective pulpits and distribution channels. The “self” becomes more venerated … and destructive. Who can stand firm in times such as we witness today?

Says the Psalmist: “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm” (Psalm 20:7-8).

The New Testament, several times, encourages one to stand firm. Paul advises believers, “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love” (1 Corinthians 16:13-14). The flock is also encouraged that God helps in this task, for: “[…] it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come” (2 Corinthians 1:21-22). “[…] Stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near” (James 5:8).

Thoughts to Ponder

At this point in the human timeline on planet Earth, an epic phenomenon is unfolding as never before.

As quoted in Part 1 of this short series, Timothy tells us: “But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves […] of pleasure rather than lovers of God” (2 Timothy 3:1, 4).

According to Paul, the world will be typified by people who are centered upon themselves … pursuing their individual wants. They love themselves uppermost. They, therefore, will have fallen into a trap. Only God can love us fully and perfectly. People who are lured to the notion that they can love themselves better than God face unhappiness. No doubt, this trend is linked to the rapid rise of depression—what the World Health Organization has observed to be an epidemic. Sadly, it is seen as a disease, not at all as a spiritual malady.

At the same time that selfishness and narcissism become rampant, the world becomes more bewildering and filled with anxiety. “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap. For it will come on all those who live on the face of the whole earth” (Luke 21:34-35).

Therefore, any technology that serves to enable the “love of self” … that spreads information leading to the magnification of the “anxieties of life” … and centralizes influence and personal monitoring is therefore likely to play a prophecy-enabling role.

As it is, we are at the end of technology. This writer made the case that we had indeed reached the end of technology in 2013. That was triggered with the introduction of the Smartphone. What we meant was that nothing more needed to be invented to enable the onset of the Tribulation period. All the facilitating technology already exists in our view. Booms and busts may indeed keep occurring, serving to inflame other greed-induced booms. But this would not invalidate the conclusion that no yet-to-be-invented technological invention stands in the way of the onset of the Tribulation period.

Says Jesus Christ: “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me” (Revelation 3:20).
