Sometimes I think whatever new post I’m doing might just be my last opportunity to encourage readers to get serious about their plans – plans for the immediate future because on days like today we must consider our priorities for the here and now – but more importantly their plans for eternity. Here on earth, there might not be a down the road to think about. As of this writing, someone – TPTB are trying hard to sell that it was Ukraine – bombed several Russian airfields and destroyed a number of strategic aircraft.
If you have been watching the NATO vs Russia developments closely, you’d probably be as convinced as anyone else that Ukraine more than likely doesn’t have the technical capability to pull off such a sophisticated operation. They undoubtedly had NATO help, in fact the whole thing reeks of MOSSAD and/or CIA. In today’s US/Israel government they’re both the same. Think Lebanon and pagers – they set up things to go boom and then just sit back and wait for an opportune time to set off the fireworks. Problem here is, Mr. Putin, God bless his patience and pragmatism, might not let this one go unrecompensed. NATO might have crossed the Rubicon, and if so, we might all live to see some tough times ahead. No, if what I think might happen, we won’t all live or more likely, won’t survive Russia’s repayment.
Over the last few days there’s been another issue happening in that a recent solar blast has sent a Coronal Mass Ejection, or CME, toward the earth and scientists are saying we have endured what is known as a G4, or severe solar storm here on the planet. They say a G4 can disrupt power grids or even take them down and mess up communications and satellites. I guess we’ll know soon – or we won’t know anything, just lose power and internet and try to figure out whether it was Russia launching an EMP our way or whether the solar activity hammering our weakening magnetic field shut down the power. We’ve been told by the scriptures that there will be some hard times in the end days. Wars and rumors of wars, and that prophecy couldn’t be more applicable than what’s going on in today’s world.
The Bible speaks of a time of tribulation that will be so severe that God has to step in to ease things up lest all flesh on earth be destroyed. I think of a bunch of people trying to make do in a dark world with no amenities like stoves to cook on, no lights in the house, and worst of all, no internet! Instead of anxiously awaiting some football game (which will be a thing of the past) we’ll be anxiously awaiting someone in the household bringing home something to eat. It’ll be a world where a candle will be more valuable than a car, which won’t run without gas or electricity to charge it if it’s an EV. Driving somewhere would be suicide anyways, because there’ll be people everywhere waiting to kill anyone who might be near them to take whatever they have.
Those of us who have made it our life’s mission to serve God through faith in Jesus Christ are watching events unfold here on earth that portend an end to life as we have known it. Even absent a nuclear holocaust, the threat of a world controlled by Satanic forces using technology like AI is upon us and in the realm of the physical, there is little we can do to affect the trajectory. There are many things we can do to affect the spiritual, and the Folkpotpourri message of late is to expound on those.
It is of utmost importance to recognize some facets of our experience here and where our responsibilities lie regarding them. For instance, we must accept that some things are happening over which we have little to no control. By accepting, I do not mean approve of them, but in the instance of atrocities like the genocide currently underway in Gaza, we see it, we know it’s happening, but for now the only thing of any substance that an individual human being can do is to speak up about it. This speaking itself is becoming more and more hazardous; there are American citizens being sent to prison camps in foreign countries for publicly taking a stand against Zionism. The much-loved president of the US has shown his full-blown support for the starvation and murder of innocents, of children and babies, and there are people in this country who still fly his campaign flags in their yards.
I’ve studied the prophesied behavior of the person, or persons, who fulfill the prophecy of the anti-Christ, and one of the most incredible facets of his program is that he will have the unwavering support of vast numbers of people. In light of the teachings of the Bible, I’ve thought it astounding that this entity will garner such a devoted following – after all, many of the people who will follow after this guy will be learned in the scriptures. So how will they be so deceived as to devote themselves to a person of such abhorrent behavior? One answer to that enigmatic question can be found by examining today’s churches in the US. Check out the “preachers” who teach their flocks to support the anti-Christian behavior of those who are murdering innocent people. The Zionist leader in Israel could pass for Satan personified. In fact his policies toward the Palestinians reveal a totally sick, depraved individual who blindly serves the evil one, yet our nation’s leaders show him unwavering fealty. Our top leader commits unconstitutional acts daily in support of him. Trump has openly declared war on university students who call out Netanyahu’s execrable behavior. Donald Trump is himself possessed by demons of hell for the whole world to see and he’s not ashamed to demonstrate his evil. He loves money and will do anything to get it. Money and power. And we have people who would like to be considered Christians flying his campaign flags in their yards – on property of which God saw fit to allow them stewardship. Some of Trump’s followers would undoubtedly commit violence, possibly even kill their countrymen for being critical of him. This is being revealed to people like myself who had the audacity to wonder how such an evil man could gain the allegiance of otherwise good people. No person of Christian conscience could ever support someone of such malignant stature, yet our country is showing itself to be full of such people.
The acceptance of deviant behavior needs further clarification. Earlier I said we must accept that evil things are happening, and we should, but there is another facet to this – we must NEVER accept the evil acts themselves! Accept that they are happening, but do not accept the acts. A big push is on, and has been for a long time, for folks to look the other way. Things like the notion that the atrocity of genocide and starvation of helpless people are justified as self-defense, or that the bad guys are hiding among civilians are being pushed out so that decent people might be more accepting of the acts. NEVER accept that persecution, starvation, and murder of innocent people can be justified, under any guise. What is happening in Gaza is not a war, it’s cold-blooded murder. And the evil ones who are doing it and those who support them become increasingly enraged at those of us who openly disagree with their evil acts.
I know personally how difficult and frustrating it is to know the level of evil that is going on in the world, but it’s critical for the believer to never allow themselves to reconcile these things as normal. They are not. To turn one’s head away from what’s going on and try to ignore it might just be the worst possible way to respond. We must all speak out. We must speak LOUDLY! The evil taking place in the Middle East is a Rubicon for humanity. It is your and my opportunity to publicly make our positions clear and leave no room in the minds of politicians to take our acceptance and/or allegiance for granted. It is more importantly our opportunity to show our God and Creator which side of this remarkably obvious fence we choose to be on. When you turn away and try to ignore this level of evil, you are showing God which side you choose, and He’s not going to be pleased with your choice.
If you’re worried that He might turn you away seeing your choice as just a way of escaping the wrath that is about to be served upon humanity, don’t – Jesus Christ told a parable of a guy who went to the place where the unemployed fellows hang out looking for work and he hired some guys in the morning to work for a certain amount of money. He realized he needed more help so he came back hours later and hired more help, and did so later in the day several times, until the last hires were done with only an hour left to work. When it came time to pay them, he gave each one the same amount of money. Some of the early hires thought it unjust to reward those who only worked an hour the same as those who worked all day, but he reasoned with them that it was his business and furthermore that he paid each of them the agreed wage. I think it’s important for folks who have never served the Lord to understand that He is willing to extend the promise of eternal life to any and all who accept His offer, regardless that you would becoming in at this late hour. We don’t have a lot of time left, but don’t let these end-time events in the world discourage you. Jesus stands knocking at the doors of the hearts of men, even now as we watch the end unfold. It’s not too late to hire on, and the wages are sure to be worth your while.
Open your eyes and see the darkness that is upon the world. Murder is murder and it has always been since Cain killed his brother Abel and left a dark blood stain on the ground. The blood-soaked ground of Gaza cries to God for justice, and we of conscience must join that cry. God will not wait forever, in fact, many of us who study the Bible believe the very end is nigh – don’t wait until it’s too late. Don’t turn away. Learn about Jesus Christ – I’m willing to stake my eternal soul that He’s the only Way to find God. Life on this earth will never go back to the how things were in the past. Get on the right side of things before the culmination of our very human existence. Please help these urgent messages find their way to folks who need them by sharing.
May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.
