BEWARE OF THOSE PROMOTING SO-CALLED “NEEDFUL THINGS”

Highlighting just a few of many articles that point out the rampant and rabid insanity we’re dealing with in these last days of the last days as us brethren await our redemption.

LAST DAYS LAWLESSNESS AND WICKEDNESS ABOUNDING

Good grief! How much more wicked can it get? A thug comes up and shoots two police officers sitting in their car, then more thugs go to the hospital where they were taken and chant, “I hope you die” along with other vile statements. And the Demo-crat politicians and their minions of mayhem actually say we need to defund the police departments?

2 gunmen open fire on home of officers in Camden; manhunt underway. A manhunt is underway for two suspects who shot up the home of two Camden County, New Jersey, police officers earlier this week. The officers and their 10-day old infant were inside their home when six rounds of bullets struck the house. Some of the bullets penetrated the home, but luckily the family was on the second floor when the gunfire erupted and no one was hit by gunfire. “I do know that this was a targeted attack against this residence and the officers inside,” said Chief Joseph Wysocki.

LAST DAYS OF LOT RETURNED

Burger King in Finland Depicts Mascot in Gay Kiss with Ronald McDonald for New Ad Campaign. The campaign appears to be in aid of Helsinki Pride Week. It also appears to have been influenced by the race politics of the Black Lives Matter movement, featuring the new version of the Pride flag topped with a black and brown stripe in order to “represent” non-white non-heterosexuals specifically. Oh, and the restaurant chain felt the need to show their competitor that “in the end, love always wins.” What those who run Burger King need to do is read what the Bible has to say about their idea of love.

Identity Politics Normalizes Pedophilia. Sacrificing children to the Cultural Revolution. Excerpt: SB-145 passed the California State Senate by 41 to 25, and Governor Newsom signed it into law even while massive wildfires were turning the skies of San Francisco an ominous red. Unlike a lot of California bills which have dramatic names, SB-145 carries a bland tag: “Sex Offenders: Registration.” Its digest curtly states, “This bill would exempt from mandatory registration under the act a person convicted of certain offenses involving minors if the person is not more than 10 years older than the minor.” A 24-year-old year-old sexually abusing a 14-year-old would qualify.

When ideas are more compelling than people, then people are sacrificed to ideas. And a society that is increasingly uninterested in the old family structures is sacrificing children to its ideas. Modern Molochs have many ideas for saving the world by passing children through the flames.

Environmentalists insist that people need to stop having children in order to save the planet. Feminists argue that people should abort children for gender equality. Activists who claim there is no gender are tinkering with children to demonstrate their ideas. Critical race theorists are indoctrinating children with their poisonously racist ideas in kindergarten. Why not throw in a little pedophilia?

Also read Todd Strandberg’s Nearing Midnight article this week at Rapture Ready titled “Pedophilia: The Last Sin to Go.”

Netflix Promotes Child Pornography. On September 11, Sen. Ted Cruz sent a letter to the Department of Justice, asking U.S. Attorney General Barr to investigate Netflix for the distribution of child pornography after it aired the full-length movie Cuties to subscribers in the United States. In Cruz’s letter, he wrote, “Netflix is currently hosting a film titled Cuties that sexualizes young girls, including dance scenes that simulate sexual activities and a scene exposing a minor’s bare breast.” Send an email letter to U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr, joining 1MM (One Million Moms) and Cruz in asking him to investigate Netflix for the distribution of child pornography.

THE “PLANDEMIC”

When 2020 began, who could have imagined that a virus from China would take us closer to the tribulation? However, COVID-19 has done exactly that. Read The Great Reset – Are We Being Conditioned For The Rise Of The Antichrist?” by Jonathan Brentner.

PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS

The Persecution of Christians Is Escalating Dramatically All Over the World. From Michael Snyder: All over the globe, thousands upon thousands of Christians are being ruthlessly killed simply because of what they believe… I had to go to Christian news websites to document what I am about to share with you, because the mainstream media avoids stories such as these like the plague. Of course, if innocent people were being systematically butchered for a reason that aligned with the various agendas that they are constantly pushing, the mainstream media would be all over this. It greatly upsets me that the deaths of Christians are treated as if they don’t really matter, and we continue to see the global persecution of Christians escalate year after year.

EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS

Tropical Storm “Beta” forms in the Gulf of Mexico, heavy rainfall expected along northwest Gulf Coast
Tropical Storm “Beta” formed in the Gulf of Mexico on September 18. This is the 23rd named storm of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season and the 10th so far this month — a record for September.

Teddy strengthens into Category 4 hurricane, forecast to approach Bermuda this weekend
Tropical Storm “Teddy” formed on September 14 as the earliest 19th Atlantic named storm on record. The previous record for the 19th named storm was October 4 (2005) — this was initially an unnamed storm, added in post-season reanalysis. Teddy strengthened into a hurricane on September 16 — the 8th hurricane of the 2020 Atlantic season to date. Only 3 Atlantic hurricane seasons on record have had 8 hurricanes by September 16 — 1893, 2005, and 2012.

Hurricane Sally: Deadly storm leaves 550,000 without power in US
Tropical Storm Sally has left more than half a million Americans without power as its torrential rains and storm surges lashed the US Gulf coast. Sally weakened after it made landfall as a Category 2 hurricane on Wednesday, but the slow-moving storm continues to batter Florida and Alabama. One person was killed and hundreds were rescued from flooded areas.

Powerful storm Aila brings destructive winds and heavy rains to Finland, over 90 000 homes left without power. A powerful autumn storm named Aila swept through Finland’s central and southwestern regions late Wednesday into Thursday, September 16 to 17, bringing winds of up to 125 km/h (77 mph), high waves up to 5.8 m (19 feet), and heavy rains up to 60 mm (2.3 inches) mainly in Kajaani — equivalent to the area’s average rain for the whole month. Ferry traffic was disrupted on the northern part of the Baltic Sea, material damage was reported, and more than 90,000 households were left without electricity.

APOSTASY AND DOCTRINES OF DEMONS

Pope Francis to parents of L.G.B.T. children: ‘God loves your children as they are.’ One mother of a gay 40-year-old son spoke of Rev. Paolo Cugini, who helped her “understand” that “faith and homosexuality are not in opposition, and that God loves my son as he is.”… She explained how, thanks to her son, she changed her way of seeing things and has come to see that “we are fortunate parents.” And when she requested that the church, too, should change its ways so that no one feels excluded, Francis reassured them saying, “The church loves our children as they are.”

The Bible is clear on God’s position against homosexuality (Romans 1:18-32; 1 Cor 6:9-11; Jude 1:7), as well as the severe judgment against those who cause children to fall into sin (Matthew 18:6-10)!

Pope Francis Promotes Mother Earth (nature) worship and so-called “spiritual masters.” He said Wednesday that the earth, sea, and all creatures possess a “mystical capacity” to bring humanity to God and into communion with nature. He said, “As many spiritual masters have taught us, heaven, earth, sea, and every creature have an iconic capacity or mystical capacity to bring us back to the Creator and to communion with creation.” Also, he once again lamented the negative effects of global warming on “Mother Earth,” insisting that it would generate “many, many difficulties.”

We don’t need nature or so-called spiritual masters to bring us close to God. This pope is the false prophet of false prophets!

“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 more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen” (Romans 1:22-25).

GLOBAL WARMING (CLIMATE CHANGE) HOAX: RUSE FOR THE COMING GODLESS GLOBAL GOVERNMENT

Pelosi’s Purulent Propaganda: “Mother Earth is angry. She’s telling us — whether – she’s telling us with hurricanes on the Gulf Coast, fires in the West, whatever it is, that climate crisis is real and has an impact,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told MSNBC while playing oracle to her imaginary goddess. These Democrats hear a “Mother Earth” false goddess but not the only true God of the universe.

From American Thinker: Unfortunately, we are living in a world where facts don’t matter much anymore. For instance, the wildfires that have swept across the western United States over the past few weeks are being almost universally blamed on climate change, even though the facts tell otherwise. The fires in California and Oregon are not due to climate change. They are due to arson and sheer stupidity on the part of many, including those who are responsible for the environmental stewardship that is supposed to prevent them in the first place.

According to the Cal Fire San Bernardino Unit, “the El Dorado Fire, burning near Oak Glen in San Bernardino County, was caused by a smoke generating pyrotechnic device, used during a gender reveal party.” Chalk this one up to stupidity, not climate change. Likewise, the Almeda Fire in Oregon, which has burned more than 600 homes, cannot be tied to climate change whatsoever because it was caused by arsonists. As Ashland Police Chief Tighe O’Meara said, “We have good reason to believe that there was a human element to it. We’re going to pursue it as a criminal investigation until we have reason to believe that it was otherwise.”

There are several more reports of arsonists instigating the blazes that are currently destroying hundreds of thousands of acres in the West. California has one of the poorest records of implementing commonsense environmental stewardship protocols, which no doubt has played a significant factor in the Golden State’s proclivity for wildfires over the past several years. According to California’s state oversight agency, “During its review, the Commission found that California’s forests suffer from neglect and mismanagement, resulting in overcrowding that leaves them susceptible to disease, insects and wildfire.” In other words, under decades of Democratic leadership, California has woefully underinvested in forest management efforts, which have left forests grossly overgrown and prone to wildfire.

LAST DAYS TRAITORS

Excerpt from Enemy in the Gates :: By Pete Garcia. I have spent numerous hours on the previous five articles (The Death of a Nation, Civil War and the Coming New World Order, American Pie, the Great Reset, and the Last Trump Rapture) explaining ad nauseam why the left is determined to create a singular new world order. Most of these people do not even understand why they are so determined to do this. The true enemy is not these people (as misguided as they are); the true enemy is Satan and those demonic forces seeking still to overthrow God’s authority. These leftists and globalists are being manipulated like human puppets on marionette strings, dancing to the tune of older, darker forces…

For those who do not know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, the ONLY escape from this coming global testing is by placing your sincere faith and trust in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for your sins today. If you miss the Rapture of the Church (the sudden disappearance of millions of people), the world will enter into a time that will be worse than any other in human history. It will be hell on earth. The only escape is by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ and becoming part of the bride of Christ today.

“…that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, ‘Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.’ For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For ‘whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:9-13).

When They Shall Say ‘Peace and Safety’…

Read “The Deal of the Century” by Pete Garcia,” to be posted soon on raptureready.com. Pete discusses the Abraham Accord, etc., and speculates on how end-times Bible prophecy may play out, with the Antichrist rising to the top of the hierarchy (after the rapture), renegotiating the Abraham Accord with Israel (and the many) to be included in the new regional power structure.

[Note: These peace deals with many are not the ‘peace’ deal of Daniel 9:27, and President Trump does not fit the profile of the Antichrist); however, to quote Pastor Sean Gooding from his soon-to-be posted Rapture Ready article (Romans Lesson 35), “But make no mistake, these small victories, small doors opening are the key to the big one that is to come.” We needn’t delude ourselves about the motives of these Arab nations. They don’t want Israelis to have all the land covenanted to them by God, and they’re using Israel as a partner for protection against Iran’s aggressiveness in the region.]

The lines are being drawn, and nations who oppose this partnership will soon feel the need to attack Israel, as prophesied in Ezekiel 38-39. This spectacular event, it would seem, would occur after the rapture (during the “time of Jacob’s trouble” aka “Daniel’s 70th week”].

CONCLUSION

To those who will be left behind in the soon-coming rapture: “But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God” (Romans 2:5).

What we really NEED is Jesus!

I Need Thee” as sung by Randy Owen and the Isaacs

I need thee, oh, I need thee

Every hour I need thee

Oh, bless me now, my Savior

I come to thee

I need thee every hour most precious Lord

No tender voice like thine can peace afford

I need thee, oh, I need thee

Every hour I need thee

Oh, bless me now, my Savior

I come to thee

ARE YOU READY?

Brethren, as I stated last week, the news is so overwhelming anymore that I’ve decided to highlight a few stories. We knew things would deteriorate more and more the closer we get to Christ’s return for us. And considering the convergence of the signs, it’s surely ever so near.

EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS

Death toll in fires raging in U.S. West rises to nearly 30, with dozens missing. Wildfires raging in the West have killed nearly 30 people with dozens of others missing and tens of thousands more in California, Oregon and Washington forced to flee their homes.

A Sign of The Times? Unprecedented Fires Have Turned Skies Blood Red. Many are using the word ‘apocalyptic’ to describe what is happening and even though hundreds of thousands of acres have already burned in Oregon and Washington officials are warning that conditions will get even worse as we head into ‘the teeth of the wildfire season.’

Hordes of mosquitoes kill livestock after Hurricane Laura. Swarms of mosquitoes are killing livestock in southern Louisiana in the aftermath of Hurricane Laura. The Category 4 storm hit the state on Aug. 27, pushing the insects out of the state’s marshes. “The population just exploded in the southwest part of the state,” said Jeremy Hebert with LSU AgCenter in Acadia Parish, about 150 miles west of New Orleans. The mosquitoes are draining the lifeblood of the creatures in their path. Cattle losses are widespread, according to the center.

Heavy rains flood Washington DC Metro area. Downpours across the Washington region on Thursday caused multiple roads to be closed and flooded. Montgomery County reported 300 service calls in and three hours, and more than 25 water rescues, while Prince George’s County said they received 250 calls in four hours, with 134 being water-related. Storm Team 4 meteorologist said up to 5 inches of rain have already fallen across portions of the D.C. area. Multiple water rescues occurred in Montgomery County as vehicles were stuck in high water from flash flooding.

Five Named Storms Possible Next Week. We are at the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season, and you can tell it, with five named storms possible in the next few days.

Temperatures plunge by 60 degrees in under 24 hours, bringing snow to Colorado, Montana, Wyoming and South Dakota. Summer came to an abrupt halt in parts of the Rocky Mountains on Tuesday as temperatures reaching into the 90s plunged by around 60 degrees in less than 24 hours, with a powerful surge of cold air from Canada unleashing snow and damaging winds in several states.

200,000 people homeless after severe floods hit Far North, Cameroon. At least five fatalities have been reported, livestock and crops have been affected, and thousands of houses have been damaged or destroyed. Flood victim Souley Amadou said affected people have no shelter and sleep outside on the ground, asking the government to come to their aid. Another victim said they have nothing left to eat, and children were suffering the most. Some locals had to build their own makeshift camps. “We’re losing people, animals, onions, grain, the chickens, everything. The floods just take everything. We are left with nothing here in Merem.”

LAWLESSNESS, WICKEDNESS, TRAITORS

Election Counting Delays Could Push Our Nation Over the Edge. With all the mail-in voting, we can expect a nightmare with election results being delayed for who knows how long. Regardless, it will be a nightmare no matter who wins the election. If we think the lawlessness/wickedness is insane now, just wait. Sorry to be the bearer of such bad news, but I think we’re all aware of what’s coming – Trump wins, and the heathen will rage even worse. If the demented Biden wins, the Dems finish what they started in earnest with Obama, the total destruction of the United States of America.

Wounded Army vet outraged his image used for anti-Trump propaganda. Liberal Left Liars! The Atlantic ran an anonymously sourced article claiming President Trump called U.S. troops “losers” and “suckers.” Bobby Henline, a four-tour Iraq War veteran, told Fox News that he felt anti-Trump activists were using his image to promote a story he did not believe was true. Henline was the lone survivor of an improvised explosive device (IED) attack in Iraq that killed four other soldiers. As a result, he lost his left hand and suffered extensive burn injuries. Henline noted several social media pages, such as Occupy Democrats and an MSNBC Rachel Maddow fan group on Facebook shared memes with his image, alongside claims Trump called veterans like him “losers.”

PLAGUE/PANDEMIC

COMING JEWISH FEAST DAYS: THE ‘HIGH HOLIDAYS’ LOCKDOWN. Israel to enter lockdown for 2 two weeks beginning on or before Rosh Hashanah, the Coronavirus Cabinet decided.

SO-CALLED ‘PEACE DEALS’ THAT ARE LEADING TO THE “CONFIRMING” BY THE COMING ANTICHRIST

Good intentions or not, God says do not divide His land. And this is what these covenants with many are leading to. But such are the last of the last days in which we are living. Not all of the players have good intentions, and even those who do still refuse to see that giving up land for peace does not work. Joel 3 tells us the ultimate outcome. God wins.

Bahrain official: Deal with Israel serves regional interests. Bahrain’s decision to establish relations with Israel serves the interests of the region’s “security, stability and prosperity,”, Khalid al-Khalifa, a former foreign minister and adviser to the king said. “It sends a positive and encouraging message to the people of Israel, that a just and comprehensive peace with the Palestinian people is the best path,” al-Khalifa tweeted. The White House announced earlier that US President Trump, King Salman al-Khalifa of Bahrain, and Prime Minister Netanyahu had agreed to the establishment of full diplomatic relations between Israel and the Kingdom of Bahrain. Bahrain thus becomes the second Gulf state to normalize ties with Israel, after the UAE and Israel announced they were normalizing relations on August 13.

Prime Minister Netanyahu said he was excited to announce a peace agreement with another Arab country. “It took us 26 years since the second peace agreement with an Arab state to reach a third peace agreement, and it took us not 26 years but 29 days to reach a peace agreement with a fourth Arab state, and there will be more,” Netanyahu said in video published after the declaration. Trump welcomed the Bahrain-Israel agreement on Twitter, hailing it as a “historic breakthrough.”

CONCLUSION

Where are you Heading My Friend? – by Alf Cengia

We live in an increasingly hostile and frightening planet that has made a Covenant of Sin and Death. This world is caught in an endless circle of seeking pleasure but never finding lasting satisfaction.

And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. (John 6:35)

There is only One Hope. This same hope is offensive to many people who reject their sinful state and cringe at the name of Jesus Christ. Yet he says of Himself:

“I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. (John 10:9)

And this:

“Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)

Christ promised a resurrection to those who choose Him. They will possess powerful and incorruptible bodies similar to His own, and experience eternal joy (1 Cor 15:42-43; 1 John 3:2).

Man’s natural destiny is death. Do you know where you’re heading?

Have you accepted Him yet?

What are you waiting for? – Source

Song: Are You Ready?

“Are you ready to sit by His throne?

Are you ready not to be alone?

Someone’s coming to take you Home,

And if you’re ready He will carry you Home.”
