Spiritual Wickedness is Rampant!

Christian Persecution: Over 100 Christians in northwest China have been sent to “re-education” camps. One woman who is married to a leader of a community with many Christians said, “I don’t know where my husband is right now, but I believe that God still uses him in prisons or camps. Sometimes I worry he doesn’t have enough clothes to keep warm.”

The Unborn: As celebrities and others ban together to protect crustaceans killed by boiling or cutting apart, the US Senate rejected the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act after Democrats filibustered the bill, which would’ve banned abortions after 20 weeks. The 46 senators who opposed this legislation approve late-term abortions involving lethally injecting with burning saline and dismembering highly developed babies in the womb. Extensive studies have been done on fetal pain. “The earliest reactions to painful stimuli motor reflexes can be detected at 5.5 weeks post-fertilization.” source

In America there are approximately 10,000 abortions at or after the 20th week of pregnancy. The Congressional Budget Office says preventing late-term abortions would cost the government too much money. The CBO said the same in 2013 when it reported that if the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act were passed, it would cost the government $225 million over the next 10 years by allowing these children to be born. It assumes that each child born would be a burden on society. The Orwellian implications are horrifying.

The Real Burden: Yet liberal politicians see no problem with doling out welfare without work requirements that used to be in place, and bringing in and supporting unvetted migrants from known-terrorist countries, as well as supporting illegals already here. The U.S. will resume refugee admissions from 11 ‘high-risk’ countries “with extra vetting” – as if that’s even possible.

Denver has joined San Francisco and New York City in passing a law which allows migrants to use the public streets as a toilet. They claim it’s to keep them from possible arrest. The reality is that the liberal politicians are not interested in giving these migrants a better life, but want to turn this nation into a third-world country. Dried feces particles blow into the air, causing health problems and high child mortality.

Czech citizens are arming themselves more than ever over fears of massive Muslim migrant violence throughout Europe.

Anti-Semitism: In the UK, a 2017 Anti-Semitic Incidents Report shows a recorded 1,382 anti-Semitic incidents, the highest total it has ever recorded for a calendar year. Following an attack on an 8-year-old Jewish boy in Paris, the prime minister said “a new form of brutal and violent anti-Semitism is expressing itself more and more openly…”

German leaders claim to be increasingly alarmed about a resurgence of anti-Semitism, yet they keep bringing Muslim migrants into the country who are hostile to Israel. Jewish institutions need police protection their synagogues and schools—even kindergarten.

Wars and Rumors of Wars: Israel is still being hit frequently by rockets. A Russian delegation arrived to try and talk Israel out of bombing targets containing weapons in Syria (that Iran ships to Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon). Israel says it can’t stand by while those wanting to seek its destruction ramp up their agenda. Also, it has been found that the Syrian government is still making chemical weapons.

A Russian fighter jet was downed Saturday by rebels in Syria and the ejected pilot killed, allegedly after resisting capture and firing at the rebels. Also in Syria, Barin Kobane, a fighter with the loyal Kurdish YPJ all-female militia, was killed by the invading Turkish-backed fighters who “played with her corpse and cut it up” as cameras rolled.

Iniquity Abounds: In Italy where the influx of migrants is out of control, a Nigerian migrant was arrested for the gruesome murder of an Italian teenager. A day later an Italian extremist injured six Nigerian migrants in a drive-by shooting spree. Some people say he was in love with the murdered girl.

In Massachusetts two adult sisters are accused of burning and permanently disfiguring the face of a 5-year-old girl during a voodoo ritual that lasted for multiple days with other forms of abuse. The child’s mother requested the ritual, claiming a demon inside her caused her to misbehave. The mother is of Haitian descent where voodoo has been practiced for centuries. The sisters, who said they’ve performed the rituals before and that children are sometimes burned as spirits leave their bodies, also threatened to cut off the head of the girl’s 8-year-old brother. The mother hasn’t been charged, but instead is receiving mental health treatment.

Pestilence: Emergency departments, urgent care centers and other outpatient clinics across the U.S. are receiving an onslaught of flu visits. Hospitals had to devise new spaces to house the patients. Visitors have been restricted and elective surgeries postponed.

Huge flu outbreaks are ravaging the Korean Peninsula less than two weeks before the Olympics. Over 81,000 people have been infected with Swine Flu. And in South Korea they’ve killed a million chickens in efforts to contain the Bird Flu.

Natural Disasters: As we’ve all noticed, there has been an uptick in earthquake and volcanic activity. The lava is still flowing from the Philippine volcano since it began intense eruptions over two weeks ago. There was another mild eruption early Thursday morning as the moon set, hours after a blue moon and supermoon coincided with a lunar eclipse. The danger zone around the Mayon volcano extends 8 kilometers (5 miles). Authorities have struggled to keep the massive number of villagers from returning to check on homes and farms. Scientists fear a more violent eruption could be imminent.

Apostasy: Democrats at the SOTU address refused to applaud when the president referred to America being “One nation under God.” They refused to stand for our national anthem or applaud for the child who put flags on veteran’s graves. They also sat on their hands when Pres. Trump stated he recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and that we should stop giving foreign aid to enemies (such as the “Palestinian” Arab Regime who receives $450 million a year of our taxpayer dollars). The Deep State is unhinged in their effort to wrest back power. Considering what they’ve gotten by with up to now, should we expect the release of the “memo” proving their illegal activities to have a different result?

Suspiciously, as many believe, a large garbage truck was parked (not sideways, but head-on) on a train track the next day after the President’s SOTU address. The train carrying Republican (GOP) lawmakers hit the truck, killing one and sending two to the hospital. CNN regular and liberal-left author, Jonathan Tasini, took to social media to post how glad he was about the train wreck. He “mockingly” thanked the heavens, saying God was “working hard today” to “clean up” the GOP mess.

The Catholic University of Dayton has proposed the elimination of the gender-specific terms “husband” and “wife,” substituting them with “spouse, partner or significant other.” Also proposed is an extended list of expressions they want replaced by other words that don’t convey a determined sex.

An extremely popular ice cream franchise calls itself “Sweet Jesus” – except the “S” in Sweet and the middle “s” in Jesus alternate being replaced by a lightning bolt, and the letter t is an upside-down cross – a mockery of our God and Savior. Franchises are rapidly expanding in Canada and showing up in the US. Their marketing shows other satanic symbolism combined with children in questionable and creepy situations.

“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand” (Ephesians 6:11-13).

Situations in Need of Prayer: Lots to Report

Pestilence: There’s strong evidence that the Enterovirus D68 virus which causes fever, cough and runny noses is linked to paralysis in children in the US, Canada and Europe. This has baffled scientists, and there’s no cure. The flu this year is killing people of all ages and is still raging.

Famine: In North Korea under Socialist dictator, Kim Jong Un, hungry soldiers are raiding starving people’s fields and homes for what food they can find. Yet NBC’s Lester Holt boasted on film at a ski resort full of people in N. Korea that they’re happy and prosperous, not starving – propaganda stunts by N. Korea—and NBC.

Terrorism: Barnes & Noble, for a long time offered al-Qaeda bomb instructions as a free download on its website, only taking it down after being exposed; yet during that time when Jihad Watch, a site against terrorism, applied to sell their books, they were refused. A suicide bomb in Kabul, Afghanistan has killed over 100 and wounded 235. Last week their hotel was attacked, killing over 30 and wounding many.

War/Rumors of Wars: The US Air Force is launching its largest ever 3-week air war drills, starting Friday and concluding Feb. 16.

In Isaiah 17 and Ezekiel 38/39 news: The Israeli Ambassador warned the UN Security Council that Iran has 82,000 fighters in Syria, attempting to transform it into the largest military base in the world. “We are releasing this classified information because it is vital for the world to understand that if we turn a blind eye in Syria, the Iranian threat will only grow,” Danon told the Council.

Turkey’s troops are wreaking havoc in Syria, causing Syrians to flee. Erdogan is determined to quash Kurdish forces there, who are successfully fighting ISIS, which is still not completely defeated. This is creating tensions with the US, who, because of this has resumed its presence there.

People are wondering what’s really going on regarding the false missile alert in the liberal state of Hawaii and then Japan several days later. These are not buttons, but computers with failsafe procedures to prevent this. Could it be a false flag? Mainstream media rushed to claim it’s Trump’s fault for Kim Jong Un’s behavior. However, Un has long been allowed to get to the point where he is now of endangering the world.

Fire: In South Korea, over 40 people are dead, over 150 injured in a hospital fire. The six-story hospital didn’t have a sprinkler system and wasn’t considered large enough to require one by law. Just weeks ago a fire killed 29 people at a fitness center there.

Natural Disasters: There were strong earthquakes this week off the coast of Alaska, Japan, Indonesia and California (which is also having many smaller quakes). A sudden volcano explosion in Japan caused an avalanche, killing one and injuring 16. The Philippines volcano continues to pose danger, with 50,000+ people in shelters. Now it’s feared that mudslides caused by heavy rains will bury communities.

California is in danger of more wildfires starting up due to high winds. Riverside homes and businesses in Paris are on high alert, as the swollen River Seine has already caused flooding and may cause more. Also, an unusual amount of rainfall in central Israel caused serious flooding in major cities. In Capetown, South Africa which is surrounded by ocean, three years of drought has devastated water supplies. Taps are within several weeks of running dry.

Lawlessness and Violence by Parents and Children: A mother of five adopted children in Iowa was found guilty of starving three of the teens, whom she locked in a bedroom for months with no furniture, little food and no access to a bathroom. They escaped from time to time through a window to seek food from neighbors, who reported this to child welfare, as did school officials concerned about the 16-year-old. Yet child welfare did not remove the children. The 16-year-old who weighed 85 pounds died of cardiac arrest, lying in feces on the linoleum floor of the bedroom.

At Butler Intermediate School in Pennsylvania, three students aged 13 and 14 planned an attack on another student, knowing she was severely allergic to pineapple. The school doesn’t allow pineapple for that very reason. A student rubbed pineapple on her hand and deliberately high-fived the allergic classmate, sending her to the hospital.

We’ve all heard of the school shootings this week. In Kentucky, a 15-year-old shot and killed two students and wounded 18. State lawmakers want school districts to appoint campus staff members as armed guards. In Texas, a 16-year-old student shot a girl multiple times that broke up with him; she survived. He fired at the boy near her, but missed. The shooter had been removed for previous incidences of violence, but was allowed back. In New Orleans, someone in a vehicle fired at a crowd of students; no one was injured. Parents must lock up guns even if their children are mid-teens and older and they think theirs would never do such a thing. The main problem is spiritual in these last days.

In Arizona, a Mexican ex-police officer (in the country illegally as it turned out) was speeding and caused his car to crash. As a trooper who stopped to help was setting out flares, the man said something in Spanish then shot him, and then tried to beat him to death. A motorist shot the man to incapacitate him when he refused to stop beating the trooper. As the motorist tended to the trooper, the man resumed beating him, forcing the motorist to fatally shoot him. The trooper is still alive, thanks to the motorist, but suffered multiple injuries. The passenger in the car wreck later died of her injuries.

Big Brother: AT&T is arguing for a fairer standard to replace the Obama Administration’s George Soros-backed “net neutrality” rules that the Federal Communications Commission voted to repeal. They say Net neutrality should also include Google, Twitter and Facebook (who censor the net, especially conservatives), and not just limit Internet Service Providers (ISP) whose major function is to connect users to the Internet.

The East German secret police agency, the Stasi, one of the most reviled and feared institutions of its Communist government, is back, “in spirit.” A new oppressive law requires social media such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to censor users on behalf of the government.

Persecution of Christians: In North Korea, Christian parents keep their faith a secret from their children due to fear, waiting till they’re grown to tell them. Atheists in the US are suing chief of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Ben Carson, due to his weekly Cabinet-level Bible studies. The Satanic Temple in Missouri is suing over a law requiring women seeking abortions to receive a booklet that says life begins at conception. The Satanists complain that it promotes Christian beliefs.

Immorality: There was little to no mention by mainstream media of the pro-life march, yet praise and much coverage of the other where there were vagina costumes, nasty drawings with the P-word, and F-words signs (a child old enough to read was seen holding an F-word sign). Town Hall reported: “Truth is always a threat to liberalism…The Women’s March, led by Muslim Linda Sarsour, who “praises and promotes” the most oppressive form of patriarchy humanity has ever known—Islamic Sharia, had wall-to-wall front-page coverage…oh, the irony!”

A German children’s channel for ages 3 to 13 encouraged child marriage between an adult migrant and a naïve German teen girl. Then they aired a segment showing three young migrant boys how to open a bra. You would think they’d be tired of all the migrant rapes and murders. Germany ought to consider removing the original “Seat of Satan” altar and the “Ishtar Gate of Babylon” which they moved there in pieces a century ago, reconstructing them and placing them in their Pergamon Museum.

Apostasy: At a rapidly growing number of proudly “gay-friendly” Catholic parishes, same-sex couples exercise leadership roles and receive Communion with encouragement from priests. The LGBT agenda is also being promoted at Catholic schools and colleges. As we know, the same can be said of some mainstream Protestant churches and also in preschools through college.

At United Church of Canada, “minister” Greta Vosper is a self-proclaimed atheist. The spokesperson said: “We’ve moved away from language that references God to create an environment without barriers…Services are themed around love, justice, compassion, care, responsibility and living in a right relationship with ourselves.” The committee mostly agreed she wasn’t fit to be the minister, but atheists and agnostics in the congregation support her.

Love and compassion? Without the Truth of God’s Word, it is neither.

“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron” (1 Tim. 4:1-2).

Jude 1 in the Bible speaks of such times as these with complainers and mockers walking according to their own lusts, using swelling or flattering words to gain advantage, and those who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality, denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. It tells us to witness to others, showing compassion to some, while with others do so with fear, lest we get involved in the sin that infects their lives. www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jude+1&version=KJV
