Single Digit IQs and Reprobate Thinking :: By Rick Segoine

Published on: by RR10

Is there one nation on planet Earth that is not corrupt in one or more ways?

Is there one person of the anti-Semitic kind, one who blames the Jews for all of the problems in the world, whose own life is not riddled with sin and corruption?

Spiritually speaking, is there even one “woke” individual who isn’t fast asleep under a large rock? Asleep in a sleep so deep as to make Rip Van Winkle appear restless and plagued by insomnia?

George Orwell may or may not have known it when he wrote the book 1984, but he most certainly did a bang-up job of describing how thoughts are processed inside of reprobate human minds. Minds that no longer work properly. Minds that are broken. Seemingly broken beyond repair.

Minds that have crossed an invisible line into that nightmarish twilight zone described by the prophet Isaiah when he, on behalf of the Holy God of Israel, spoke that ominous, iconic warning into the collective human conscious awareness.

A warning for those who were alive in his time and a warning for anyone and everyone who would walk the earth after his time. A warning that still sends an echo around the world to this very day and hour, in your time and my time, and in real-time. The warning recorded in the Old Testament book of Isaiah, chapter 5 and verse 20.

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, that put darkness for light and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.”

Those who have ignored this warning in these present times we live in are now legion. Far too many to count, and they are everywhere and in every nation. Some are very rich, and some are very poor.

Human beings who are of sound mind and have read the book 1984 by George Orwell normally view that book as a brilliantly written warning of what a dystopian nightmare life on Earth could become if ever godless, ruthless, hypocritical, power-hungry, self-righteous Marxist-thinking individuals completely took over a society or an entire world.

Actual godless, ruthless, power-hungry, hypocritical, self-righteous Marxist-thinking individuals view Orwell’s book 1984 as a playbook. The multi-billionaire evil globalist elitists of today come to mind. The Davos Club and Bilderberg Group, the International Bankster Gangsters like the Rothchilds and the Rockefellers and their international investment corporations such as Blackrock, Vanguard and Statestreet, Bill Gates the Injector and Klaus Schwab the Connector, and all of his World Economic Forum trained minions of “young leaders” such as Trudeau of Canada, Zelenskyy of the Ukraine, Ardern of New Zealand, Albanese of Australia, and California dictator Gavin Newsome all come to mind. The Israel-bashing, Jew-hating United Nations led by Antonio Guterres and The World Health Organization with wannabe global medical tyrant Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus at the helm come to mind.

By the way, all of the above-mentioned organizations are in one way or another owned by the Multi-Billionaires Club, which is also known by such other names as the Globalist Elite, the Deep State, the Swamp, and, as Orwell writes, the “Party.” In the United States of America, we have the Uni-Party made up of Marxists and RINOs (Republicans in name only). So, if they are RINOs and not really Republicans, what are they? Well, they are either corrupt sell-out individuals bought and owned by the globalists, or they are globalist-supporting Marxists in disguise. Wolves in sheep suits.

In Orwell’s book, the “Party” are the rulers of the geographical area known as Oceania and are the embodiment of Isaiah’s warning. The “Party” intimidates everyone into embracing their upside-down, inside-out, backward way of seeing things.

In the book, everything means the opposite of what it really is. The “Ministry of Love” is where the “Party” tortures people to break their spirit. The “Ministry of Peace” is where wars are planned.

The “Ministry of Truth” is where history is rewritten and propaganda is produced and distributed. The official narrative is the only narrative allowed, and “Big Brother” is watching you.

If you have not read 1984, the “Party,” by the way, is basically the same thing as the “Deep State” owned and run by the “Globalists” and their many offshoot organizations.

Because “Big Brother is always watching you, you will be caught if you dare to buck the system, and then you will be hauled off to the Ministry of Love to either be broken down, straightened out, and reprogrammed through torture, or eliminated and then erased from history at the Ministry of Truth.

The similarities to the book 1984 have been adding up in recent years in real-time here on Earth and are quite chilling.

The term “woke” is one example.

It is not at all difficult for a person of sound mind to observe that “woke” people behave in a way that is the antithesis of the actual meaning of the word. The word “woke” is meant by those who embrace woke ideology to imply enlightenment.

Yet, the behavior and what comes out of their mouths implies just the opposite. “Woke” people act as if they are smarter than anyone who disagrees with their way of thinking. To a rational mind, it appears as if the “woke” are only slightly smarter than a bag of rocks. However, much less pleasant than a bag of rocks.

Hence, the term “Single Digit IQ People.” Just enough IQ to somewhat function as a “useful idiot,” perhaps to be employed carrying signs and mindlessly screaming at protests organized by their Marxist overlords. They most likely started out with normal IQs before being systematically dumbed down on leftist-run college campuses or through absorbing massive amounts of fake news. Or both.

None of what is being said is meant to be mean or sarcastic. It is simply about what Isaiah’s warning looks like when it is ignored here in the cultural environment we live in today. It is really only in the last decade or so that this subject has become so very apparent and blatantly relevant.

In the Holy Bible, the Lord said that in the end times, there would be great delusion and that some people would be given over to a reprobate mind. It is observable that this can apply equally to any economic group, including the super-wealthy.

There are several definitions of a reprobate mind that have been mentioned before in previous articles, and it is worth repeating.

Reprobate: 1. a morally unprincipled person 2. shameless 3. depraved 4. morally corrupt 5. rejected as worthless 6. A mind that is so broken that it is no longer capable of working properly.

Sounds like one who has embraced evil, rejected the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, rejected salvation, blasphemed the Holy Spirit, feels no need to change, and has arrogantly spit on even the very idea that they need changing.

When leaders of institutes of “higher learning,” national and international healthcare officials, and even some leaders of nations are unable and at a complete loss to define what a “woman” is, well then, “Houston, we have a Problem.”

When minds are this broken, so broken that women’s menstrual products are ordered to be made available in men’s public restrooms because it is a “woke” belief that men can get pregnant and have babies, then it might be safe to say that these people who think in such ways have in fact been given over to strong delusion and a reprobate mind (2 Thessalonians 2:11; Romans 1:28).

For all who love the Lord and trust in Jesus and are sickened by the “woke” wickedness, as well as sickened by the cruel and brutal murderous wickedness committed by deluded tyrannical Islamists, and sickened by the god-playing globalists with their ruthless 2030 Agenda genocidal efforts to rid the world of about six and one half billion so-called ‘useless eaters’ — otherwise known as nuclear families of fathers and mothers and their children – and then merge whoever is left with artificial intelligence, and just plain sick of all of the wickedness perpetrated by delusional reprobates of every stripe that we are witnessing on Earth in these last days, then please take heart.

Take heart and encourage each other with these words.

“When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near” (Luke 21:28).

Our redemption draws closer and closer with every day that passes.

Being alive on Earth right now is certainly a challenge for believers and yet also a powerful motivation to draw ever closer to our precious Lord and Savior. And a chance to share His love and His Gospel in any small way or any large way that we can.

And to pray. So many things to pray about and people to pray for.

No matter how things appear, let not your heart be troubled. Embrace a most wonderful gift from Jesus, the gift of “the peace of God which surpasses all understanding” (Philippians 4:7).

God is in control, and He is very soon going to clean up the enormous mess created by the various delusional reprobates. He promised He would, and He outlined in scripture how He would do it (Revelation).

He has you and me and the “Whole World in His Hands.”

What is the opposite of reprobate thinking as well as a highly intelligent thing to do? It is this:

To trust in Jesus 100% and to love God with all of our hearts, our minds, our souls, all of our strength, and our neighbors as ourselves.

Your friend in Him who has risen. The One who spoke creation into existence. He who has been preparing a place for us. A place that is very likely to be just about ready.

In the name of Yeshua Hamashiach, Jesus the Messiah,

Israel’s Destiny :: By Terry James

Published on: by RR10

Author’s note: The article presented here was written some years ago. It was at that time and continues to be meant to inform the Jewish people of their God-ordained destiny. Because God’s Word is absolutely true, the matters involving His chosen nation have not been proven to have fallen by the wayside of history. God’s Word on the Jewish people has only increased in veracity. That is, each and every passing day, God’s Word about Israel issues forth ever stronger Proof that God’s promises to that people—and to all believers in Jesus Christ—will come to pass. All that’s going on at present, with the building worldwide hatred and satanically driven genocidal ranting by even deluded American university students, gives validation that Jesus Christ is on the very brink of calling believers to Himself as He promised:

“And when you see all these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your head, for your redemption is drawing near” (Luke 21:28).

Israel’s Destiny

Israel is the one nation in human history that the Creator of all things chose to be “a people unto himself”:

“For thou [art] an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that [are] upon the face of the earth” (Deuteronomy 7:6).

Jehovah made promises to the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that are staggering in their implications. He promised to bless those who bless the nation that would spring from the loins of these men, and warned about His curse for those who cursed those people. God said to Abraham:

“Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed” (Genesis 12:1-3).

Certainly, this promise can easily be verified as coming true throughout recorded history. The modern record, as a matter of fact, is contemporary proof of the veracity of the Almighty and His prophetic promises. Historians–except those blinded by the great deceiver, Lucifer—concede, sometimes reluctantly, that Israel’s history in ancient times was a record of greatness. David’s and Solomon’s exploits and accomplishments are legendary but built upon archaeological facts. Israel has achieved greatness among the nations of this earthly sphere.

One point over which secular historians, at the minimum, raise eyebrows of skepticism is that man received laws and moral codes through Moses, the son of Abraham. Most give Hammurabi’s Code that honor. But those who believe that God is who He is know that the great human deliverer of the chosen people came down from Sinai with rules for living life, given by the God of Heaven to His creation. Particularly, the Ten Commandments were meant for Israel to follow as fealty to their God, and as example to the rest of the world.

God’s promise to make Israel a great nation and to bless all other nations through His chosen people has come true. The United States, for example, has the Ten Commandments upon its walls within government buildings–including the Supreme Court. America, despite the anti-God forces who want to destroy the nation’s moral underpinnings—continues to lead the world in most areas of improvement of the human condition. This is due to the Ten Commandments’ influence upon American ethics and achievement. But, it goes profoundly deeper.

Much of America’s successes in technological, medical, and every other category of progress has been contributed by members of the Jewish race. We don’t have to look far to find them. I’ll just mention the most obvious: Albert Einstein, the German-born genius-physicist who became an American citizen. No more than a cursory study will show, indelibly, that God’s Word is true, when He followed through on the promise to make the people of the book the head of all peoples:

“And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do [them]” (Deuteronomy 28:13).

Then what about the maltreatment, the genocide, against the Jewish race down through the millennia, particularly during the twentieth century? This doesn’t appear to be God making Israel the head of all nations. Here is where God placed some conditions upon the people He chose as destined to become the head of all others. Note the last of the above promise:

“…if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do [them].”

God will make Israel the head of all nations if they will listen to His instructions and commandments. Not only is that where the nation has strayed, but it is where those who say that God is through with Israel–that the Jewish race is no longer God’s chosen—have also strayed. God’s Word says ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God. All have strayed–both Jews AND Gentiles.

Israel’s detractors within Christianity say the Jews rejected their Messiah in His first visitation. Therefore, they say, Jehovah has written off the Jews and the nation Israel. The Israel in the land surrounding Jerusalem since May 14, 1948, is not the Israel of the promises, the detractors say; modern Israel is but an imposter, and God considers it no more within His prophecy for future national or racial greatness than He considers any of modern Israel’s blood-vowed enemies.

Absolutely nothing could be farther from the truth. It is true that Israel of Jesus Christ’s day rejected Him as Messiah. It is equally true that those of His own race, the Jews, cried, “Crucify him!”—which convinced the Romans to crucify Jesus. But God’s Word says every person is a sinner. We are born into sin–because Adam, the physical father of humankind, disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden. Again, God’s Word says that “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”

The Jews, as a race, are no guiltier than my race, which is Gentile. We all, as the human race, put Jesus Christ to death on the cruel Roman cross. He came to earth, sent by His Father, the God of Heaven, to offer Himself as the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Jesus the Christ–the Jews’ Messiah—came to fulfill all Mosaic Law, the Ten Commandments. In Christ, we can now believe, and our sins are cleansed, washed away by Christ’s sacrifice for eternity. Through His shed blood, we ALL–Jew and Gentile–are in the family of God forever.

But, each individual must accept this grace gift that replaced the sacrificial system of blood from innocent lambs of the physical sort. We must accept Christ as Savior, as Lord one-on-one with God, because He gives each person the free will to accept or reject His grace offer of salvation.

Now, I must come to the sad part—the tragic part of this essay, really—in which I address this nation’s prophetic destiny.

God’s Word, the Bible, foretells that the Jewish race as a whole, Israel as a nation, will continue to reject their Messiah, the one who came to them more than two thousand years ago. This rejection will continue to result in God’s promises being delayed until the moment Jesus returns to put an end to humankind’s final war called Armageddon.

Israel was scattered after the AD 70 destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple atop Mount Moriah. This was exactly what Jesus predicted in the Olivet Discourse (Matthew, chapter 24; Mark, chapter 13; and Luke, chapter 21). Jesus prophesied that not one stone of the Temple would be left upon another. Titus and the Roman legions saw to the fulfillment of this prophecy.

The Jews lost their temple, their city, and, following Hadrian’s purge in AD 135, their geographical homeland area, plus their common language (Hebrew), as a cohesive link to one another as a distinct people. Yet God’s Word foretells that Israel will be a nation again at the end of days–the time just before Christ returns.

Again, tragically and sadly, you are back in the land for a time that will be worse than any ever experienced by any people. The prophet Jeremiah foretold this:

“Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it” (Jeremiah 30:7).

It will be a time of horrors beyond anything even Adolf Hitler dreamed about perpetrating upon the Jewish race.

Can we see a build-up toward that time? Let us consider the words of the prophet Zechariah, and put his prophecies as a template over today’s headlines:

“The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him. Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it” (Zechariah 12:1-3).

The peoples of the earth are gathering against Israel. Even some leaders within the US, governmental and religious, want Israel to give away land for peace. The “Zionists” are seen as the problem.

Israel is basically isolated today, so far as true allies are concerned. The United States stands almost alone as your friend. However, it hurts to say that support is eroding, while some within recent American diplomatic efforts seem to want to exclude your nation from talks involving the small territory you now occupy—territory, incidentally, that is but a fraction of the land the Lord your God granted you through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. These negotiators join the so-called international community in wanting to placate Israel’s hate-filled enemies.

This Neville Chamberlain-like “peace at any cost” maneuvering is not lost on those who want Israel wiped off the map. It is creating a perception of weakness that will tempt them to act on their satanically driven hatreds.

Ezekiel foretold of a time at the end of days when a northern coalition will invade from the North (all biblical direction is given from Jerusalem). There is not space here to go into detail, but excellent scholarship has determined the chief attacker will be Russia, joined by many surrounding peoples. This attack will include forces from the area of ancient Persia, which encompasses all of Iran, and considerable surrounding geographical areas. This coalition, I am convinced today’s news headlines indicate, is gathering now. This will be the Gog-Magog assault described prophetically in Ezekiel, chapters 38 and 39.

The one bright prospect, and it is a bright spot, indeed, is that the God of Israel will never let Israel be destroyed; we have His Word on that:

“This is what the Lord says, ‘He who appoints the sun to shine by day, Who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—the Lord Almighty is His Name; Only if these ordinances vanish from My sight,’ declares the Lord, ‘will the descendants of Israel ever cease to be a nation before Me’” (Jeremiah 31:35-36).

The bottom line is that Israel, the Jewish race, is again destined to become hated and persecuted—this time with satanic vitriol that will make Hitler’s Holocaust look somewhat less terrible by comparison.

Antichrist, the long-foretold, sometimes spoofed, but 100 percent Bible-prophecy guaranteed-to-come-on-the-world-scene tyrant, will implement genocidal policies against the Jewish race that will go far beyond draconian.

I didn’t make up this prediction. God’s Word, the Bible, does say it. I accept that Word as the only truth there is. I, and other Christians who know Jesus Christ as Lord, love, or should love, the Jewish people–the nation Israel. God loves you; so must we. You are His chosen. However, I, and they, can’t change what God has prophesied to take place, I’m convinced, in the relatively near future.

But, I, and they, are charged with showing individuals within Israel the way to escape the coming time of Antichrist’s regime of horror. Accept Christ now. He is Messiah. And one day, perhaps very soon, He will call His people—Jews and Gentiles who accept Him as Savior—to be with Him forever. This will be the Rapture. (That stunning event in which millions of people will vanish from planet Earth can be found in 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18 and 1 Corinthians 15:51–55. Jesus spoke of it in John 14:1–3.)

The Rapture will take place before that time of horror–the era Jesus called “great Tribulation” (Matthew 24: 21).

The people of the nation Israel who are unrepentant (the remnant, for most will die in this last holocaust) will accept Christ at the last moment.

Here’s what that future remnant’s Messiah says:

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn” (Zechariah 12:9-10).

Israel will then be made the head of all nations, with the resurrected King David ruling as co-regent with the Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ, atop Mount Zion at Jerusalem for one thousand years–the Millennium! Believe it or not, that is your nation’s great God-promised destiny.

We who love Israel pray that you will believe.
