An individual, except the President, elected or appointed to an office of honor or profit in the civil service or uniformed services, shall take the following oath: “I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.” This section does not affect other oaths required by law.
The oath of office for the congress of the United States. Each member of congress must swear or affirm this statement, hence it will be his/her duty to uphold this document, this concept, this supreme law of the land…
We have bald eagles in this part of the country – not an abundance of them, but enough so that we get a chance to enjoy the thrill of watching that majestic avian soar in the Ozark sky once in a while. When I see one, I sometimes wonder what if he really could understand the role to which he has been assigned as our national emblem. Maybe by some Providential determination of fate, he is able to look down upon the magnificent landscapes, the mountains, prairies, the cities, and woodlands and realize the significance he bears on those great wings. If that were so, I’d wager he is ashamed nowadays, seeing how this once great notion of a republic has failed – or better, is in the process of failing. The eagle didn’t take an oath, but sometimes it seems like he has served our country with more dedication than many who did.
If he could understand what’s going on, and if birds could cry, tears would fall like rain when he flies over the tent cities of Denver, Portland, the garbage strewn city streets like Kensington Avenue in Philadelphia, and so many other dismal scenes – watching human beings destroy themselves with hypodermic needles and hopelessness. If he only understood human language, he’d be appalled at the sheer volume of absurdity reaching up into his abode from places like the Rayburn building coming from prostitutes and interlopers who now occupy seats once the province of honorable men. Wise men who came before them once debated and made decisions there that were intended to serve that sacred oath they swore. Representation of their constituents was paramount – it’s why they were there. The eagle has watched in abject disgust and despondence as the caliber of the people in these once-honored offices has diminished to the extent that he is ready and willing to pass off his once lofty assignment to the buzzard – after all, that nasty creature would be a more fitting icon for today’s American politicians, but then it might be unfair to demean the vulture with this undeserved comparison, for – like the eagle – he didn’t swear an oath.
The stately eagle probably frowns over all the images of himself ubiquitously displayed on money, monuments, important documents, but I’d guess the most appalling to him is his caricature on the seal of the executive. The presidential seal. I’m sure he would be particularly embarrassed by what passes for executive leadership and has for many more terms now than I care to recall (and I’m old). The presidency of this country is a sick and demented joke. Look at the caliber of men we’ve had in office since Eisenhower. With few exceptions, they’ve all been execrable liars and many even criminals. Some – in fact many folks believe some are unconvicted war criminals.
Carrion eaters gorge themselves on carcasses until they can barely fly. When they are startled while feasting on some road-killed delicacy, sometimes they must regurgitate considerable volumes of stomach content so they can quickly reduce their take-off weight and get airborne faster. I wonder if the eagle does that when he flies over Washington, D.C., of course reducing his body weight wouldn’t be why he’d willingly surrender big volumes of his possum et tu fe. It would no doubt happen as a result of overhearing some presidential speech or a congressional debate in which the cognitive mediocrity of those speaking and debating is perpetually and unashamedly on display.
Back to that oath they took. No one held a gun to their head and made them swear it. They did it of their own free will. Some might believe they swore it, not because they believed in it, but because it was simply a step required for them to occupy a seat of power. A seat they unabashedly and appallingly grovel before wealthy donors to inherit. Nonetheless, since they voluntarily swore the oath, it follows that they should be expected to perform that which was promised. But then, following their sworn constitutional obligations often gets them cross-threaded with the desires of those same donors, so guess which path they invariably take? Sometimes you have to wonder if they even had an inkling of the responsibly that oath would require of them as they uttered it. You certainly can’t tell by their actions in office.
I’m a U. S. Navy veteran. Served in the pre-com and early operations of the USS Nimitz back in the seventies. I took a similar oath to the one all of our public “servants” took. Foreign and domestic. Is anyone still trying to figure out why they put that word in the oath? Neither am I. The fact is, oath notwithstanding, many, if not most, of our leaders – to put it mildly – do not seem to have the best interests of America at heart. What I believe makes that oath still applicable to me and other vets is the fact that we didn’t sign anything upon our release from duty that absolved or in any way relieved us of our obligation under that oath. As far as I’m concerned, it’s still in effect for us. Domestic – for sure!
That old eagle is bound to have figured this business out too. I wonder if he could resign his post, because unlike politicians, such as some unnamed deputy Secretary of State, it’s through no fault of his own that his job – that of national emblem – might soon be up for grabs, and I don’t blame him.
Although the outlook for our country is dismal, there just might be a way to show our loyalty to our nation and regain the trust of that wonderful animal we have selected to represent it. There is a movement that is gaining much traction in this country, in fact it is named Our Country Our Choice. I’m a member, and I believe through this organization, we have an opportunity to get our legs back under us, but it’s going to take some serious dedication and work. Our leaders have dug us into a deep hole from which we have to dig ourselves out. We weren’t paying attention and now we’re seeing the results. It’s way past time to start paying attention. Get involved – there’s plenty of room on board this train. More and more God-fearing patriots are joining daily.
The leader of this movement is one Colonel Douglass Macgregor. He’s a retired Army officer with extensive military and political experience. He’s a smart leader (Wow! What a novel idea!) and I think he’s just the guy who can lead us to a better future. I implore every American, and especially my fellow veterans, to look into this – it may well be the last hope we have, and it looks quite promising – especially with a man of the caliber of Colonel Macgregor at the helm.
Catch some of his interviews – he’s often on YouTube at Judging Freedom with Judge Andrew Napolitano and many others. Check out the website – Our Country Our Choice.
Who knows? That old eagle might just get a chance to soar proudly over a nation of free people again.
And here we sit. Or lie, it really doesn’t matter. Deep down we all know something is terribly wrong, but we’ve become so accustomed to sitting around waiting for things to get better that we find ourselves expecting something that we know isn’t going to happen. We just wait around for someone else to step up to the plate, then maybe we can try to help. Problem is, we have somewhere in the neighborhood of a couple of hundred million American men sitting around waiting for some hero to emerge, and indeed if we look closely, that hero is trying to emerge – from within the heart of each of us. Listen to it!
Back in time somewhere, somehow, our genetic profile got infused with some admirable traits. Men in early America were men – brave men of integrity and honor. Since those days our desirable aspects have progressively become diluted – seriously depleted indeed – but the kernel of love for freedom is still inside us. Our problem is how to overcome the blasphemous propaganda deluge in which we are submersed. We have to wrest our attention from our pathetic worldly pursuits foisted upon us by the media to the urgency of serious threats to our nation’s very existence. Is our desire for a new pickup truck and boat more important than our expectation for there to be a free country for our kids to inherit? Is the super bowl and its vile commercial accoutrements worth more of our time than a Sunday morning with our family in service to the God who blessed us with our prosperous (though too often decadent) and certainly undeserved lifestyles?
In case you’ve been asleep for a long while, our government has become occupied by what are increasingly being revealed as hostile forces. These same forces are the ones responsible for the destruction of our cities and our uncontrolled border – it’s all part of their plan to destroy our God-fearing nation. Connect the dots and you’ll find other nefarious plots and acts such as health and pharmaceutical efforts which have questionable value.
Our congress has been taken over almost completely by these same people who instruct the members to pass legislation which no longer in any way represents the interests of the country they were elected to represent. It’s hard to find any legislation processed within the last few years that reflects the interests of the AMERICAN PEOPLE. I remember some time ago, when the government was at an impasse over the budget and no business at all could be attended by the congress, yet they still managed to eke out some kind of resolution opposing disparaging a foreign country. Couldn’t do squat for America though. Wealthy corporate PAC donors for sure, but never for Joe the Plumber. Other nations – well, the ones with money absolutely, but no longer any legislation to help working American people.
We are watching the inevitable disintegration of what was probably the greatest of nations. The whole world once looked to the US as the preeminent leader of the world. We were respected as being an honorable nation populated with honorable people. What happened? In my humble opinion, some time ago, perhaps around 1913, our leaders revealed themselves to be susceptible to bribery. Over the years, this shortcoming has only grown worse – like some grotesque malignancy – and has proven to be the primary reason for the downfall of American society. Our congress and executive are captive to malevolent forces that are beyond our ability to control – individually. I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m very tired of the video soap opera of one-upmanship that passes for congressional activity nowadays. Wow! Just look at how Kennedy gave that Mayorkas the what for! Or how Rand Paul butchered Fauci. To what end? Seriously people! The people’s legislature is reduced to congressional reality TV and congresspeople relish the roles.
Everyone knows there is strength in numbers. Alone we cannot hope to arrest America’s plunge into the abyss, but with sufficient numbers, especially with American veterans and patriots on board, we can face, and defeat this scourge. We have to recognize and admit to ourselves that it exists though, and then muster up the courage to fight it. We must recognize that the sinister forces who have brought us here intend to destroy our nation, our children’s future, and then we must resolve to defeat it. Whatever it takes.
Always remember that, regardless of media and government propaganda narratives, there is a distinction between loyalty to the government and patriotism to the country. In fact, that distinction is the very reason the constitution was written and endorsed! Our founders realized that a government could become corrupted and so they set up a legal means to overcome such corruption and tyranny.
How can we begin to fight this battle? There are some choices before us, some will require us to put aside differences, especially as pertains to race – white and black and brown America must stop allowing evil forces to divide us. Pay attention – when the mass media start hammering the airwaves with news stories that divide the races, we can be assured that there is a serious need for distraction from whatever nefarious behavior is afoot. I remember the Vietnam days and how each time the war protests started to become uncontrollable, the news stories became about race issues, and sure enough, gullible Americans were suffering the Watts riots and countless news stories impugning black men which our carefully nurtured racist communities were quick to devour. Sure enough, our collective attention was miraculously turned to the race bait instead of the war. We have to stop letting them do this – we need to be willing to disregard such obvious division and stay focused together!
Personally, I’m a 70-year-old white hillbilly from a southern white background, and if I followed my forebears, I’d probably be a member of the John Birch group, but fortunately many years ago, with the help of the Almighty, I became able to see through the propaganda – it wasn’t easy and I made lots of enemies along the way. But after everything is said and done, Martin Luther King is among the greatest of my heroes. I learned much from figures like Malcolm X and Ghandi. I think I learned most, especially about honor and bravery, from our founding fathers. I learned long ago that these guys were willing to put it all on the line for what they believed. We need guys like that today! We can have discussions about their views on slavery and other issues in another forum, but right now I implore all Americans of every color to come together to act and do what each of us can do to save our country. Trust me, the people in control do not want that. We must come to the realization that there is room here for every one of every color. Brotherly love must prevail against the forces that teach and espouse hatred. Remember, we all have issues we’d like to see addressed, such as racism, militarism, etc., but we’ll never be able to properly resolve these issues until the people of this nation regain control of our government.
There is a movement we should support – it’s growing by leaps and bounds – called Our Country Our Choice. If you agree that this country is headed in the wrong direction, you should look into it, as this promises to offer a solution to many of our ills. The organization is headed by one Douglas MacGregor, a retired Army Colonel who served as advisor in the Trump administration. Our Country Our Choice (OCOC), as far as I know, does not endorse, or at least hasn’t yet, any political figure(s), and specifically refuses donations from politically motivated groups or lobbies. It looks like a viable path to regain our nation’s sovereignty and I strongly urge American men, women, and especially veterans to get up off your ass and get involved – this thing is not going to work without all of our help. OCOC urges all demographics to get on board with this movement – it is solely for the benefit of the American people – not lobby groups or politicians.
Colonel MacGregor has an extensive military background. He is adept in governing and is smart enough to get the right people into the positions where they can be most effective. The organization has already recognized the futility of trying to improve our lot without the help of Providence, and has a chaplain, Pastor Casey, in the leadership of OCOC. Bingo! If God is with us, who can stand against us? I exhort all who see this missive to look into OCOC and join and support the organization, financially and spiritually.
No one is attempting to imply that OCOC will be able to solve all of our problems. Some of the issues that await attention are profound and will require time and effort to properly address. What is certain is that we have issues on the table that cannot be resolved within the current structures of our government – in fact they actually seem to be in place to prevent just and fair resolution. OCOC may not be the exact instrument that will get the US back onto the rails, but it’s a start. If people are informed and still refuse to act, then maybe they deserve whatever form of slavery the powers that be levy upon them. But their children don’t.
We have a mandate from the Supreme Law of the Land. When in the course of human events…
Pass on this info about OCOC to every God-fearing patriot you know. Make sure all the ex-military folks you know hear about it. The compromised people in DC do not represent this old vet!
His name is Aaron Bushnell. If you haven’t heard of him by now, just google his name and you’ll find his story. It’s about the tragic act of one of the bravest, most sincere human beings of our time. The mainstream media isn’t saying much about him because they have their orders. I’m sure that will change as soon as TPTB give them whatever narrative they come up with. The U.S. government isn’t saying much, because they too, have their orders. No matter though, his story is out there, and nothing TPTB can do will shut it down.
The world has a focus now. The whole world. Arabs, Russians, Chinese, the ROW, and even Americans. We should have already had a focus, but to our eternal shame, we have studiously avoided looking at the massacre taking place in Gaza. At least most Americans have. Now Aaron Bushnell has now shoved it right into the faces of even the most determinedly ignorant. The U.S. military and the government are heavily involved in supplying weapons to the monstrous “most moral army in the world” to kill tens of thousands of innocents, women and children, doctors, medical workers, journalists. These innocents are also being denied food and water. Some infants have starved to death already, and they are trying to starve them all. A U.S. Air Force member finally stood up tall and said “ENOUGH”! He has brought about one of those “Have you no shame?” moments into our history, and God willing, it will play out.
You can bet the bad guys are busy concocting stories right now. They’re combing his hometown newspaper, his high school yearbook, and any other source(s) of information with which they can find anything with which they can smear his reputation. Maybe at some time in his life he saw a counsellor, or had a therapist, so he can be sold as some kind of psycho. Maybe he had some kind of run in with the authorities so he can be pedaled as a criminal miscreant. Anything to distract the public from the genocide of the Palestinians to which he brought the attention of the world. And the absolutely unbelievable way he did it.
This will be reminiscent of Colin Kaepernick and the thrashing he took for trying to get people’s attention to the extraordinary police brutality on black people. He knelt during the national anthem prior to football games. The media went into overdrive to discredit him. By the time they were through, Colin lost his football career. The mainstream narrative completely avoided what he was trying to get across and changed it all to how he disrespected the American Flag, and the citizenry bought it, hook line and sinker. That was the real travesty. The man was publicly denied his first Amendment right to free speech and “patriotic” Americans supported it. Aaron Bushnell’s narrative won’t be so easily twisted.
The story of Aaron Bushnell has already gone around the world several times, and it has only been a few days. Try as they might to suppress his act, the Zionist-controlled media doesn’t stand a snowman’s chance of getting a lid on it. They don’t want the world to understand too much about the Zionist genocide in Gaza, the travesty for which Aaron gave his life to inform the world. Even the dumbed-down Americans. It’s working. He immolated himself at the Israeli Embassy in protest of the Gaza genocide. Our focus now is to keep the fire burning that he so selflessly lit.
This media is the same one that told us of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, that everyone must, at the risk of their livelihoods, take a vaccine that has been proven to be not a vaccine at all and that kills people. This media promulgated a story of some terrorists who couldn’t fly a Piper cub navigating sophisticated passenger planes across country and into buildings. This media told us of Assad’s chemical attack on Dhouma, – proven to be a lie by the very organization tasked with investigating it. These are the people who have told us for two years that the Russians are losing the war in The Ukraine and that President Putin is terminally ill, gay, falls down stairs and craps himself, etc.
We must not allow the Zionist liars to change the Bushnell narrative away from Gaza, for that will now be the assignment of every tentacle of the mainstream media. This old hillbilly’s suggestion is to turn the TV off and quit watching any of the network news programs. They are conniving and duplicitous and they know how to deceive you in so many ways, if you’re not completely onto them, they’ll have you believing your children need sex changes in the name of global warming. If you have a grandfather who watches the Zionist tripe that passes for news, tell him how he’s being misled. Show him how to find alternative news sites.
For believers in Jesus who read this, you should be able to see and understand the degree of evil to which the murderers in Palestine have devolved. Yes, there are “churches” here in the USA who fully support this nation and the depredations of the IOF. These are the self-righteous vipers who have convinced themselves of their virtuosity, but Jesus will tell them that He never knew them. Depart from Me. I never knew you. The alternative to being with Jesus is being in the eternal fires of hell. The fire that took the life of Aaron Bushnell only lasted a few moments, but the fires of hell will be for all eternity folks, so you might want to take a second look at who you are supporting.
It’s up to each and every one of us to do our utmost to reclaim our nation. The same can be said for all other nations who are currently under the control of these vile monsters. We can start by sharing what we know with those who don’t know what’s going on. It’s the least we can do for the memory of Aaron Bushnell. He gave his life to support innocent people; gave his life! Not a lot of people throughout history have given their lives for others. I can think of One, though. Aaron Bushnell died a horrible death to try and drive home the fact that the most insidious act of murder in all of history is happening – are you listening to what he said?
As a frigid dawn breaks across the winter sky, what’s left of my family huddles together in this wretchedly cold farmhouse trying to keep warm against another invasion of the incessant north wind. We knew for years there’d be a war, but few of us could have imagined the severity of it, especially for the few who survived the “war”, and especially this far out from a major city. This old house almost burned down, but we were able to save enough of it so that we can survive. If you want to call this survival.
For years it seems that people had been hearing of all the rich and connected folks who got busy building bunkers and stocking them with supplies intended to tide them over when the inevitable happened. They expected to go into their holes and sit tight watching movies and playing video games until such time as it would become safe to slither out and supposedly resume their entitled lives in which whatever few survivors would be waiting with adulation and fanfare to greet them. Yes, they were that deluded. Now that those few begin to see signs of their emergence, great fanfare isn’t exactly what the sick and hungry survivors have in mind.
Some of the larger refuges were intended to house government officials and their families, so they were excavated to facilitate relatively large numbers of people. Huge underground shelters made with reinforced concrete were designed to house any and all who might be required to provide for a preposterously planned continuity of government in a post-apocalyptic scenario. I personally believe they were all building their tombs.
When the bunkers were being built, multitudes of “commoners” were involved – truckers, construction hands, plumbers, electricians, welders, etc., who were never intended to be – nor did they become, part of the inhabitants of said shelters, just the labor used to build them. Were all of these people expected to forget where the bunkers were located? Where the entrances, water supplies, and air vents were, and how to excavate the holes they already dug once? Just what were those entitled individuals thinking?
As we try and patch up the holes in our crumbling walls and the ever-present hunger pangs gnaw at our very souls, we reflect on that somber autumn morning when the world turned upside-down. As I was outside tending the livestock, there were ominous rumblings, almost like the thunderous sonic booms some of us remember from back when technology reached the threshold where airplanes could fly faster than the speed of sound. I’m not sure they realized there would be window-shattering sonic booms until those fast jet planes started flying faster than sound. Anyways, when the big bombs started going off, that’s the first thing that came to mind, but only briefly. It didn’t take a lot of dot-connecting to realize what was afoot.
We always thought of times when the power would go out, but when it finally happened, the actuality of it hit home. Wow! Not only did it go out, but deep down we knew it would never come back on. When our enemies overseas finally got enough of the threats and pillaging by the western world and lit off the orbiting satellites containing EMP producing devices, we stepped through the door of destruction, our world caught on fire, power lines, automobiles, and just about everything with an electrical coil simply burst into flames. Huge conflagrations started everywhere there were wire fences, electrical power lines, transformers, substations, or anything made of wire kindled the near-complete destruction of developed nations. We ran inside and after frantically putting out the fires, we could only wait and wonder if we were about to be vaporized. Considering what our lives have devolved to, it would have been more merciful if we had. The cold nights are almost too much to bear.
The worst part of all this is the fact that no one knows the extent of the destruction. Did Washington DC get annihilated? How many of our big cities got wiped out? Communications are completely obliterated. There were a few folks around who everyone considered to be nuts that were known as preppers. Some of them kept CB radios, but most of them got fried in the EMP. A precious few survived, but it’s next to impossible to get to them to find out what they might know. Most information that does get through is of little help anyway. From the looks of our situation, it seems that our nation as we knew it is gone for good. I guess we “lost” the war, but our enemies devastated and contaminated the landscape to the extent that they won’t be sending a “conquering army” over here anytime soon. Nevertheless, the “preppers” have since become folk heroes everywhere there are survivors looking for a bowl of beans.
Radiation is everywhere and will be for a long time, it’s the primary concern for everyone who might have survived and is still breathing. Most of the living are – or have been – terribly sick from radiation poisoning, but a few seem to be immune to it. Maybe they’re the ones who pray – that’s the only explanation I can think of. I ran into one of these types who was among the very most prepared of the preppers. Before everything went south, he bought an old diesel pickup truck and completely gutted the electrical system. No battery, no starter. He parks it on a hill so he can start it by getting it rolling and popping the clutch. It works, but fuel is scarce, so he only uses it for essential things like hauling wood.
We only have a few chickens left, the goat got sick and died, and out of nine dogs on the farm, we have a couple left, but they’re sick a lot. We eat, and are thankful for, a lot of squirrels and rabbits. We’re fortunate enough to have a spring on the property, and what few neighbors we have left come over braving the outdoor air to fill bottles and jugs from it. So far, I guess the water’s ok, at least no one is getting sick from it so far. We were only marginal preppers, but we did have the foresight to stock up on a bit of extra food, but I really think we’re just postponing the inevitable. But then, who knows? We like to imagine that by some miracle we can be evacuated to a safe place, but in reality, we don’t even know if there are any safe places anywhere. Sort of like not so long ago when the people of Gaza undoubtedly imagined that some great nation would come to their rescue during their holocaust, but much to the shame of the world, that didn’t happen either.
For years, some scientists maintained that a nuclear exchange would precipitate what they called a nuclear winter. Even though as a result of the pandemic and green revolution and a lot of other nonsense, most of what passed for science came to be revealed as a bunch of malarkey, I guess they got the nuclear winter part right, because we are well into what should have been spring, but it’s desperately cold! I really miss having a weather forecast to look at, but there are none anymore, and there probably won’t be, especially the weather discussions that depended on satellites – they’ve obviously all been destroyed. We have to go back to the old way such as “red sky in morning…”
There’s no internet anymore, no microwave ovens, no running water. I saved every blanket and quilt I could get my hands on for years, and they are certainly coming in handy now. There’s no music, no television, no football games. No one knows how Kim Kardashian is doing, nor do they care. Much of our former life has been revealed for the useless nonsense it was. It’s hard to remember how we cared for things that really matter, or if we did at all. It was all about new cars, boats, flights to vacation spots, and a thousand other things that don’t mean squat now. We actually sat in front of CNN on the TV and believed all the lies they spoon fed everybody as if there would be no tomorrow with which to reckon.
There’s a tiny rivulet running from where our spring comes out of the ground. I watch it a lot these days, because if it dries up, we’re going to be in serious trouble. As I sit out here breathing what could be contaminated air (I’ve been so sick I really don’t even care anymore), watching that tiny trickle of life-giving water, I search my heart and continually ask myself, “What could I have done to help prevent this?” Hundreds of millions of human beings have been destroyed, killed, vaporized – with their bones strewn across the land. Huge cities, once thriving metropolises, now are no more than huge smoldering craters, with innumerable ghosts looking on, each and every one asking themselves, “What could I have done…?”
Take a good look at the picture above. It’s Mike Pence in January 2024, well into the Gaza genocide. He’s in the occupied territory showing fealty to what a growing number of social media refer to as the Satanic Death Cult. He’s putting his name on an artillery shell. The slaughter of the innocents had been going on for several months by the time of this horrid signing, so he did it knowing well that this ammunition will likely be used by “the most moral army in the world” to massacre innocent terrified peasants in Gaza. This hideous act is a very damning admission of his approval and support for the evil genocide being inflicted upon the innocent men, women, and children of Palestine.
This is the same Mike Pence who made his bones posing as a Christian to court the hypocrite vote when he ran for and became governor of Indiana. I lived in Indiana when he was governor and it was easy to tell he was a fraud even back then, at least to myself and other people who bother to open their Bibles. I could not for the life of me understand why anyone even remotely associated with Christianity could support him, but I guess I underestimated the power of hypocrisy. And don’t take that to mean I’m a Trump supporter, because I’m certainly not. He has shown his own disgusting fealty to the same evil entity.
As Pence writes his name on a genocide weapon, Jesus may well be concurrently blotting that same name out of the Lamb’s Book of Life (if by chance it’s still in there), but Pence obviously doesn’t consider that. The Lamb’s Book of Life is the one in which we true Christians want our name to be, for one’s name in that book is Jesus’ requirement for entry into Heaven. Though he might claim otherwise to hypocritical voters, Mike Pence cannot possibly believe in Jesus. Only the most self-deluded of hypocrites would believe he is a religious man. His autograph on the weapon that he has to know will be used to kill innocent people is proof. There may be some shekels involved in this public signing and selling of his soul, indeed, money and power are important to him as they are to all of his political ken who studiously avoid truth.
Mike Pence is revealing himself to be all about Mike Pence and nothing else matters. Even the lives of innocent little children don’t matter. He can’t fool true Christians however, only hypocrites. People of his ilk and Nikky Haley’s and so many others are religious all for show, but sadly there are way too many people who know so little about the Lord as to believe these could possibly be righteous people. Oh, and Nikki Haley, aka Nimarata Randhawa, likes to sign weapons that will be used to slaughter hungry children, too.
Assume that, as is quite likely, this artillery shell will be fired into a civilian apartment building, or a hospital and it kills a child. Maybe several children, or maybe several defenseless women and kids are wounded, losing arms and legs by this very shell with the eminent Nimarata’s or Mike Pence’s name on it. The above photos and a piece of shrapnel with either of their names on it, maybe dug out of some mangled two-year-old’s chest, will be exhibits A and B before the Judgement throne, and it will be the very last thing in all of eternity that either of them will want to see as they stand trembling before the Almighty. Pence will wish for that merry day of January Six a few years back at the capitol when he was scurrying for his life. It is an understatement to say God will be very angry and that will be a fearful and awesome sight to behold, the very Heavens will be shaking, and Mike Pence will be horrified with unimaginable fear to stand before the living God trying to come up with a reasonable sounding excuse for selling his soul and voting with his own signature to support the holocaust of innocents in Gaza. Although he’s as adept as any other politician at lying, he won’t be able to weasel his way out of what’s coming to him. Justice will be served and unless he repents, it won’t be pretty for Mike Pence (for all eternity), or any of the other vipers like those in the U.S. congress who almost all voted against a cease fire resolution. Had it passed, such a resolution might have saved some lives, or may have had no practical effect, but such was their eagerness to flatter and fawn over their Zionist masters with their whorish servitude, they dared not vote for a ceasefire. These people are out of touch with the populace and deluded such that they have no idea how they embarrass and disgust a rapidly growing number of American people. Truly repugnant behavior. The lucre holds their loyalty fast for now, but guaranteed retribution inevitably awaits them all. Both the shekelers and the shekelees. Please excuse my analogy to snakes, serpents have done nothing to deserve such a comparison.
Since we’re at this point, can you identify the difference between the subjects in the following pictures of a) garter snakes, and b) the US Congress in joint session?
Answer: The serpents in the top picture are not venomous.
By now all of humanity is aware that some of the most innocent peasant folk in the world are being terrified and slaughtered in Gaza. Little children there are literally being starved to death! Medicine isn’t allowed in for the wounded and medical people (who are also being selectively targeted) and operations are being performed even on little kids, screaming in intense pain without anesthesia. The IOF is busily murdering women and children in churches, schools and hospitals. Such is their thirst for blood, they even shoot their own unarmed soldiers who escape captivity. Some have marched near-naked “captives” round the dirt and rubble piles of Gaza and torturing them. The demons in control of the occupational government won’t allow food or medicine, or even water, to be brought in so that some of the Gazans might survive. Over ten thousand arrested Palestinians languish, incarcerated without charges, tortured in occupation prisons. If the reports are accurate, more journalists have been (intentionally) killed in that open-air prison during these past few months than were killed in all of WWII all over Europe and Asia. The IOF has adopted the habit of dropping leaflets or otherwise getting word to the Gazans to leave an area and to go a safe location at X, and when the refugees go to X they get bombed there. This has happened on more than one occasion.
The synagogue of Satan is in firm control (for now), and the world watches. The official U.S. government position is that in spite of the hours and hours of footage showing the massacre and carnage and blood, there is “no evidence” of genocide taking place in Gaza, per Blinken, Sullivan, Matthews, Kirby, et. al. WHAT!!?? I’m a determined Christian and love Jesus with all my heart, but these liars can tax anyone’s determination. It’s near impossible for decent people to stomach. I fervently pray for God’s Mighty Hand to intervene in the occupied territories! And in Washington D.C. ESPECIALLY IN WASHINGTON D.C.! At some point it will, but for now we have to wait for all the Mike Pences to sign their own eternity away in whatever way they choose to do it. And as hard as it is, Jesus told us to be patient. He also said His sheep hear His voice, so patient we must be. The evil ones have to finish revealing themselves, so when judgement time comes, they don’t have any excuse, because everyone in Heaven and on earth will know full well by their insidious actions which side each of them chose.
Erdogan of Turkey condemns the evil being perpetrated upon the Gazans. He and the Turkish people would do more to help if they could, but he is in a precarious position. He has been speaking out against the genocide by the IDF and you’d think he’s probably working behind the scenes to try and help Gaza but is limited as to what he can do without massively escalating the situation. Other Arab nations stand by looking, talking a lot of trash, but in reality, they are just waiting for the Gazans all to die. King Abdullah of Jordan is a pathetic western puppet and will not lift a finger, unless it’s to help the occupiers. He put out a video of himself pushing aid bundles off from a cargo plane over Gaza, but it was pure PR as a few pallets of foodstuffs weren’t going to make much, if any difference, but his air force helped to shoot down Iranian drones that were headed to Israel. Sisi in Egypt is about like Abdullah, just with less bluster. A lot of folks say he’s a western puppet and it sure looks like he is. MBS in Saudi Arabia is at least refusing to normalize relations with the synagogue while they are murdering Gazans, but not much else. The only people in the world who are helping the poor Gazans besides Hamas are the Hezbollah guys and Houthis (Ansar Allah) and some competent militant groups in Syria and Iraq. The leaders in Iran seem to be helping as much as they can without having to fight the entire west. The Islamic Republic of Iran and its IRGC has proven to be brave and stalwart in the face of some nasty enemies. I had become a fan of Iranian President Raisi (RIP) and Hezbollah Secretary Nasrallah and Speaker Obaida of Hamas and General Saree of Yemen. I can’t leave out Christians around the world who pray as I do for the Gazans – that’s important in many ways, too. We must keep praying for the Lord to show mercy on them! Our government certainly isn’t going to help them. It’s as if Henry Kissinger and Sheldon Adelson’s ghosts still direct our foreign policy. They don’t do mercy. They only do money. As the congresswoman Ilhan Omar said, “It’s all about the Benjamins.”
When all this is said and done, the world will recognize the Houthis, Hamas, and Hezbollah guys as the real heroes, regardless of propaganda to the contrary. Think of the allies who liberated the Nazi camps. Even though they are Islamic peoples, they show more Christ-like compassion than American, British, French, or German governments. Of the ones who will have proven to be villains, there are too many to name, Biden, Grima Blinken, Austin, Sholtz, Macron, Netanyahu, Gallant (what an ironically misnamed creature), the entire U.S. congress, and of course, Sunak of the UK are just a few. But on the Day that counts, most of the members of the mega church congregations also will find out too late that the Lord Jesus doesn’t approve of their fealty to His enemies, He has said He will tell them He doesn’t even know them. They will find themselves to be regarded among the worst of the villains.
It goes against Christian theology to kill, but whether the resistance groups are guilty of sin for taking up the sword to help save the poor Gazans, will be for God to decide. From the level of protests, a lot of the people of most western countries are on the moral side of history, but not their bought-and-paid-for governments. The governments are all controlled by the synagogue with the shekel, and/or Epstein’s little black book.
I’m a Christian, American Navy veteran and am appalled at the behavior of my government. Not only should we remember Mordor’s attack on the USS Liberty, any sane moral person should be equally appalled at the behavior of all the American evangelical groups who choose to be ignorant hypocrites and who probably still think there is a difference between Democrats and Republicans. Though they pack the pews of their respective temples of evil on Sundays, they refuse to listen to Jesus when He says the pit of vipers who call themselves Jews are NOT Jews, but are a synagogue of Satan. They’re blaspheming by even claiming to be Jews, but the “faithful” congregations of vipers in America’s mega churches still support them full tilt. ‘This war is prophetically significant’: why US evangelical Christians support Israel | Evangelical Christianity | The Guardian You will pay dearly for your chosen ignorance, folks. Chosen ignorance, because you don’t read your own Bible, but rely on millionaire whitewashed sepulchers like John Hagee or Kenneth Copeland or Joel Osteen and so many others of their ilk to instruct you on how to best show your fealty – to Satan. The American “church” industry is probably Satan’s greatest weapon. Imagine! All the demons of hell dwell in ornate temples of blasphemy in the great congregations who nod and echo their support for perverse doctrines and for the appalling murder of innocents. How can these “believers” possibly twist and mangle the scriptures to come up with some misguided precept that allows them to support the murder of innocent children? This goes against everything Jesus Christ taught, and, contrary to what they teach to justify their fealty, it has nothing whatsoever to do with God’s promises to Abraham!
Sadly, the unbelievers or even those of other religions see the behavior of “Christians” like the hypocrites in the mega churches and it just reinforces their belief that Christianity is an evil religion. They know about the crusades and the Inquisition, and other historic deviations of the church, so what the evangelicals are doing today fit right in with their skepticism of the Christian religion. One day real Christians will suffer because of this repugnant behavior. But I guess that’s part of the plan.
American universities are being told what they can and cannot teach or allow on their campuses by billionaires from the synagogue, and the federal and state governments adamantly enforce their edicts. These people would gladly sign their names right alongside Mike Pence’s. In fact, in their own way they are. If someone in the pit of vipers of congress were to muster up enough courage to speak up about billionaires gaining control of American education, they might find their own shekels getting cut off, or worse, get Epsteined, so they all remain blissfully silent. There will come a time, and hopefully it’s not that far off when the people of this nation will realize these demon-possessed elites would not be billionaires if they hadn’t stolen their wealth from Americans through financial chicanery and intrigue, (such as in 1913 – Google how deviously the Federal Reserve Act was passed) and maybe Americans will someday decide to take it back. Stage a popular asset seizure to give the people back their stolen wealth. If the money stolen by crooked bankers, pharma, and insurance corporations were given back to America, we probably wouldn’t have a national debt. Our cities might get cleaned up, drug addicts could become able to get help, and we could start resembling a properly run nation, like say, Russia, or Iran.
Before anyone gets the wrong idea as to how I feel about real Jews, as a follower of Christ, I am a proud adopted son of Father Abraham. I personally think King David was probably the greatest mortal monarch ever and would have been a fantastic leader of our nation. God knows we need one. He has my greatest admiration for his righteous servitude to God. Further, I genuinely believe God has a special place in His heart for the Jews who accept Jesus Christ. I’m perfectly ok with that and not a bit envious. The 144,000 Jews who come to believe in Jesus are the ones referred to as the Bride of Christ and I’m happy for them, but it will be a hard-earned title. The real Jews, even the ones who practice Judaism, mostly seem to renounce the behavior of the murderous Talmudic cult in the Holy Land. In fact, the true Jewish people around the world are as appalled at this genocide as us who believe we are adopted sons. The demons doing this evil, as Jesus said, ARE NOT JEWS! Stop letting Satanic mouthpieces like Judas Hagee convince you they are. That the Zionists of European descent have taken over the Jewish identity has to be the greatest identity theft in all of history! Now they are set about doing everything possible to make the whole world hate the real Jews, many of whom are mostly innocent in all this. Many Jews even in the occupied territory are protesting the genocide at great risk to themselves. Kudos to them. As for Benjamin Netanyahu – whether he is actually an evil incarnation of Shrek or just looks like him, the villagers will catch up with him one day – the torches and pitchforks already seem to be coming out in Tel Aviv.
It’s important to understand the words of the apostle Paul when he said the great Day of the Lord would not come until the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition [2 Thessalonians 2:3]. This means that the man of sin will someday be revealed, specifically the anti-Christ, but there are many other men of sin being revealed. There will be no more hiding an evil person’s culpability, in fact, they are now out in the open with their evil – being revealed, or better yet, revealing themselves (see above Mike Pence and Nikki Haley photos). The “being revealed” part of the prophecy is happening right now! The whole world is able to see what’s going down and all who support it. The Congress of the U.S. openly votes to support genocide. The president publicly vowed to support it and it’s unquestionably the most insidiously evil event of modern times. The government of the United States of America is sending weapons as fast as it can to provide for the slaughter! They are publicly taking sides with this astonishing evil. Being revealed indeed! The other important thing to consider about the apostle Paul’s prophecy is that once this revelation has taken place, the Day of the Lord at any moment could then be upon us. Make no mistake, we will see justice done when He gets back! Another thing to keep in mind is that time means nothing to God. He is eternal, so the time that Jesus has been away to Him must be like us running to the grocery store and coming home. The two thousand years He’s been gone is but a moment in time to Him. It seems like it’s taking a long time and to us it is, but to Him, it’s but a moment. In reality, right now He’s giving everyone time to choose a side.
There will come a Day when justice will be served. Count on it. On that Day, everyone in those big churches will finally understand what Jesus meant about the gate being wide that leads to destruction. The self-deceived “faithful” in the pews of blasphemous congregations will be just as damned as drug dealers and those who make their living murdering or selling human beings – actually more so, because they, of all people should have known better. Probably more so, because the latter ones at least don’t claim to be righteous like the hypocrites in the big mega churches. Imagine it! These people openly support the sworn enemies of Jesus Christ, yet at the same time try to claim Christianity! The astonishing hypocrisy of these people is one of the greatest sources of America’s ills. As for the “shepherds” of these flocks, when God gets through with them, I’m certain these false prophets will envy Mike Pence for whatever punishment he gets.
We should not hate Mike Pence or Nikki Haley for their evil acts. However, a Christian can be mad at a person and hate a detestable act such as signing a bomb destined to kill innocent people without hating the person doing it. That’s a fine line to walk, but an important one. It’s especially tough though, when these people do things like they do in the name of God. Hate the sin but love the sinner.
What can we do? We must do what Jesus said, repent of our own wrongdoing and set about serving Him by loving Him and loving our fellow human beings. Imagine what a different world we could have if everyone spent as much time trying to help one another as they spend trying to destroy each other! Decent people are up against a powerful enemy and cannot defeat him on our own, and we need to stop acting like we think we can, or worse, ignoring him. He has overtaken governments of the world – most of them. Certainly ours. We must diligently seek Jesus Christ’s help – it’s the only way, and He promised us He would take care of things if we only put our trust in Him. Get baptized. Get to know our Lord Jesus Christ. And always remember the love of money is the root of all evil. Evil like putting your name on a weapon that will kill innocents for thirty pieces of silver.
I hope this post will be of encouragement to Christians of the narrow gate who might feel left out for not believing the false teachings of the rampant and highly monetized evangelical groups. I also hope it sheds a little light on the beliefs of real Christians, what Christ actually teaches, especially to our Islamic brethren who would benefit mightily from learning the nature of true Christians.
There’s a lot of discussion going on nowadays about things that are happening in the Middle East and I supposed that’s fitting since that’s where things are prophesied to wind up at the end of this age. Seems as though everyone has some interpretation or the other about what we should believe or how we need to behave to be on the right side of things going into the last days and I guess I’m no exception.
I am a Christian, not a Judeo-Christian, not a Christian Zionist, not a Christo fascist, I don’t even know what an Evangelical Christian is, but I don’t like the sound of it, I’m just a Christian who believes in Jesus Christ and what He came to tell us. His message on how we need to believe and behave is way too simple for most, so there’s this tendency for some to pull out the Old Testament and see how much of it can be interspersed into the new covenant, but that always turns out to be an irresponsible distortion of the message of Jesus and makes it much more complicated than it is intended to be. He said He meant for His teachings to be simple, so simple people like me could understand them. He also warned us about something He called the leavening of the Pharisees that also tends to over complicate His message. He said a little leavening leavens the whole loaf, but I’ll leave that concept for now.
In case the reader is wondering, I’m not a preacher, just a person who reads his Bible and seeks God’s help in understanding it. As with all things in the spiritual evolution of a human being, we all have a lot more to learn. There are things that aren’t that hard to understand though, and it appears a lot of well-intentioned people are missing them, and that’s the reason for this post – people, a lot of people, are misunderstanding, or misinterpreting God’s word. Whether the faithful are doing this on purpose or not, it’s not possible for a human to know. God certainly doesn’t give us that kind of insight into the hearts of others, but by reading the Bible and comparing what’s in there to what is being disseminated by the leaders of some churches, it becomes fairly easy to see that there a lot of are false teachers out there.
One of the primary and most glaring inconsistencies you can look for as it applies to a Christian ministry is the financial status of the minister. This is the very easiest way to tell the false prophet. For example, Jesus Christ conferred absolute leadership of His ministry on the disciple Peter. He said He would build His Church upon this rock (Peter) and the gates of hell would not prevail against it. There is an obvious difference in Saint Peter’s wealth and that of the charlatans who would have you believe they are appointed leaders of the flock today. The ones who run the mega churches are all filthy rich. That should be the very first and most obvious clue as to whether they follow the actual teachings of Jesus. Jesus adamantly warned us that for all practical purposes, rich guys aren’t going to heaven. Are you comfortable sitting in the pews listening to a wealthy preacher who takes in millions after Jesus Himself tells you this guy isn’t fit for His Kingdom.
A perfect example is when Peter and John encountered a crippled beggar asking for alms. The disciples – true disciples of Christ – told the beggar that they couldn’t give him any money because they didn’t have any. They were able, however, to heal him where he could walk. Remember this is Peter, to whom was assigned by Jesus Himself, complete authority over the church. He was given the keys to the Kingdom and told that he had the authority to lock and unlock the very gates of eternity. But he had no money. None of Jesus Christ’s followers were wealthy – not one. Jesus Himself had to send a disciple to catch a fish with a coin in its mouth so He could pay His tax. Jesus, Who in time would inherit all things on heaven and earth, had no money! Judas Hagee has millions of dollars, but he nevertheless arrogates to himself the status of a minister of Jesus Christ’s church. Maybe he thinks he is more deserving of a wealthy and decadent earthly lifestyle than Saint Peter deserved, it’s hard to tell. There are others, but Hagee’s ministry is particularly heinous for several reasons, not the least of which are his incredibly false teachings.
Jesus also said the way is wide that leads to destruction and a lot of people would go through it, and the way of salvation is narrow, and few would find it. So, imagine the thousands of people watching the sermons on TV as well as the hundreds or thousands of “faithful” in their luxurious cathedrals, and compare that to the mental image of peasant worshippers in a mud hut back in the first century, trying to keep their practice hidden from the authorities who would have certainly persecuted them for their faith. They were willing to risk their very lives for their belief in our Savior Jesus Christ, and many of them indeed were martyred. The parishioners of the Cornerstone Church in San Antonio aren’t risking very much, are they? Such blasphemous covens are completely safe from any government interference, because he who leads this world (to destruction) is in charge of governments of the world and he obviously doesn’t see these groups as a threat to him. I wonder why?
The same government – controlled by Satan, and as proof of its control by Satan, is supplying bombs to murder thousands of innocent people overseas. They indiscriminately bomb hospitals filled with sick and injured people and Christian Churches. This same Satan also has governmental authority over the mega churches in this country but does not bother them. Does that make sense – it’s the same devil? As long as those churches are preaching a message that is no threat to him, why should Satan bother them? They are right where he wants them to be, hearing the messages he wants them to hear. The gate is wide indeed! The millionaire Hagee preaches that the members of his twisted version of “christianity” should support said murderers. He sends tons of money to a nation whose religious leaders teach that Jesus Christ is in hell burning in human excrement and teaches his parishioners that in order to please God, the Father, they should automatically and without compunction, support this nation. Jesus Himself told us all very clearly that regardless of what they claim, these people are not even Jews – they are blasphemers who are a Synagogue of Satan. Satan controls every aspect of the United States government, especially the blasphemous whores who populate the congress – now do you see why the equally blasphemous mega churches are able to operate with impunity in a country that tortures prisoners of war and imprisons journalists for telling the truth?
One of the seminal concepts that these charlatans preach is the part where God promised Abraham, of some impending blessings to his descendants. There were reasons for this which I will avoid because they do not apply to this post. Back in Abraham’s time, he and his descendants were indeed God’s chosen people, because of faithful men like Abraham. The promise was that if people and nations blessed Abraham’s descendants, God would bless them. Conversely if people cursed Abraham’s descendants, they would be cursed, but here’s where the false preachers get it all wrong. Although that promise is still in effect today, descendants of Abraham are a different people from those who claim to be, thus the false prophets are trying to confer the promise onto the wrong people. He said nations that did not know Him would call Him their God and He would call them His people.
If one reads the scriptures, especially the New Testament under which we are living, he finds a place and time when John the Baptist, a man who has some pretty incredible spiritual credentials (and he was also quite poor), warned the Pharisees that they shouldn’t think too highly of themselves just because they were descendants of Abraham because God could raise up sons to Abraham from the rocks they walked among. Let that one sink in, you followers of false teachers, because that’s exactly what God has done! He has raised up sons to Abraham from places where they would not have been expected. Abraham has adopted sons, millions of them as promised, who are his offspring by having accepted Jesus Christ. We are Abraham’s spiritual offspring – therefore, receivers of the promise to Abraham, not some nation of evil murderers who passionately hate Jesus. Christians have assumed the mantle of God’s chosen people, and only Christians.
How can anyone possibly listen to rich villains who denigrate Christianity teaching blasphemy? By rejecting Jesus Christ, the people who live in the occupied territory– even if they are genetic sons of Jacob (which they are not) – give up their share of the promise to Abraham, regardless of what Judas Hagee preaches. He is a liar and a blasphemer – good people need to get out of his church while they still can inherit their share of the promise. Same for those who follow Osteen, Copeland, and all the other rich jet-set false prophets.
The Zionists in Israel and the United States hate Jesus Christ. Therefore, the latter part of God’s pledge to Abraham falls on them – the curse part – and it falls on anyone who curses the followers of Christ. Not the first part, the blessing part is reserved for all – Jew and Gentile – who believe in and follow Jesus Christ. These would be the people who find their way through the narrow gate – those who are willing to risk it all for Jesus, not the ones who sit fat and happy, amening the lies of false prophets in cushy churches where there is no threat to them whatsoever – for whatever twisted beliefs they espouse. They leave the church and climb into their luxury cars to go home to their mansions, smug in the belief that those bucks they put into the offering, bound for rich people who despise Jesus (also for the good reverend Hagee’s fat bank account) – will buy them into heaven.
When a person compares the teachings of Jesus Christ to what is disseminated in the mega churches, it would almost appear that true Christianity more closely resembles what Islam believes than it is to what the liars in the big churches put out. In fact, I admire the Muslims for their dedication. They pray more times in one day than a lot of so-called Christians do in a month, in many cases, longer. They also believe in Jesus, but they think He was a prophet – He was a prophet – an honorable title but far short of all He actually was. I believe and pray that our Islamic brothers take the leap of faith that brings them to the realization that Jesus was the Son of God.
One misunderstanding is that Islam believes that God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are considered in Christianity to be separate Beings instead of three different manifestations of the same Being. It’s a difficult concept to grasp and none of us can wrap our heads around it, but most of us agree there is only One God. If all who believe in God, or Allah, could accept that Jesus is the Son of God, that would put a lot of people in the world on the same page. God is everywhere, so He can be in the form of Jesus, in an Imam, in a priest, or in you or me or in a burning bush, or in the air, but He is still the same God. I think I’ve read somewhere that Muslims believe Jesus is coming back some day to render justice, and all Christians believe that too, but I’m not sure Muslims believe He is coming back as the Almighty King of Kings to rule the world.
True followers of Jesus should make every effort at every opportunity to read their own Bibles and follow His teachings. And turn away from rich preachers – every one of them is corrupt and rotten to the core. You can take the Words of Jesus Christ on that. He really didn’t have much good to say about the wealthy of this world.
Who is Robert A Woods? What kind of person is he? I don’t know much at all about him, but I do know he is the deputy ambassador to the United Nations from the United States. He’s the guy who cast the vote to veto the call in the Security Counsel for a cease-fire in Gaza, a vote that might have ended up saving tens of thousands of lives of innocent people – women and children, mostly.
Obviously, Robert A Woods had marching orders to vote as he did. I wonder what would have happened if he’d gone against those orders and voted for the cease-fire. Would the vote have been binding on the council, or could someone higher up have rescinded it? Whatever might have happened, Robert A Woods missed out on his chance to be a genuine hero to probably 95% of the whole world – he would have instantly become adored and supported by hundreds of millions of people. He might have even instilled some faith by the world that there are still a few people of conscience in the United States. He could have been Aragorn on the world stage, but he chose to be Gollum.
Robert A Woods determined not to befriend anyone in the wide world and raised his hand at one of the most pivotal opportunities in all of modern history and voted down a chance to show a modicum of human decency. Even if he could somehow undo that despicable vote today, it would not help the thousands of Gazan peasants who have been martyred since his vote. They are dead now, thousands of them, and he did his part to ensure it would happen.
Although he slavishly did their bidding, he did not befriend anyone in control of the United States government as a result of his merciless action. None of those people have any friends. They do not know what friendship is, regardless of what Robert A Woods might believe. If Robert A Woods was out in the arena at the Roman coliseum of old and a gladiator had a sword to his throat, those people up in the stands he so faithfully served would all be standing with their thumbs pointed down, even though he did their bidding. He has no idea how much they hate him.
Robert A Woods is one of hundreds, maybe thousands of people in the United States government whose service to his country has morphed into service to something else – something entirely evil. Sadly, for Robert A Woods, he might not even be aware of it, although I’m pretty sure he is. Why wouldn’t he be? There’s money to be had in service to Satan, that’s why the most despicable den of vipers in the world have all of the money. Hatred and dishonesty are their calling cards, and Robert A Woods got himself on the receiving end of an unbelievable amount of that hatred when he smugly raised his hand in his rendition of those thumbs-down fans of the coliseum. Robert A Woods voted to kill thousands of innocent children with that simple gesture. And billions of eyes of the world were on Robert A Woods. If voting to slaughter all those innocent people wasn’t despicable enough, Robert A Woods followed up his vote with one of the most pathetic lies imaginable, also in front of the world. Everyone, including Robert A Woods knew he was lying, but isn’t that Satan’s native tongue?
Billions of people the world over watched with incredulity as Robert A Woods made a colossal spectacle of himself. The picture of him with his hand in the air, arrogantly condemning tens of thousands of women and children to death at the hands of psychopaths – will be forever etched into history, and nothing Robert A Woods can ever do will erase it. The relatives of every person killed since that historic vote will remember Robert A Woods casting that repugnant, despicable vote. If ever a time comes when Robert A Woods and his ilk happen to be in a situation where their staunch protectors are no longer able to staunchly protect them, will the people in charge of their fates show mercy? Which way will the thumbs point then?
Lot of good guys are emerging these days, as well as repulsive orcs like Robert A Woods. How about Josh Paul, who resigned from his job at the State Department rather than trade in his dignity for supporting genocide? How about all those guys who had previously been successfully vilified, but now that we realize we’ve been inundated with lies by the usual suspects, they are getting a second look. Seeing the people we believed to be the good guys having turned to stark-raving lunatic murderers with their blatant lies now exposed, now we have no choice but to go back and look at those who they had us convinced were villains and who may not be on the wrong side after all. Guys like Nasrallah, Raisi, Erdogan, Haniyeh, Saree from Yemen – all looking a lot like world heroes now. Same with groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and PMU guys in Iraq. Personally, I always liked General Soleimani and thought his was a despicable assassination. He was truly a hero and his enemies were terrified of him.
While I’m on the subject, I have always liked and respected Vladimir Putin. I say that as an American Navy Veteran along with many like-minded vets I’ve spoken with. The US would be so much better off with a morally upright, honest and patriotic leader like Mr. Putin. I also like ex-president Medvedev. And why can’t we field diplomats like the inestimable Sergei Lavrov, with all his wisdom and tact? Or Maria Zakharova – what a national treasure for Russia?! No, we get the likes of Nikky Haley, Jake Sullivan, John Kirby and Madeline Allbright and Robert A Woods to be our public faces. The Russians have us outclassed across the board.
Don’t forget Robert A Woods and that historic image of him with his hand in the air consigning all those innocent people to be murdered, because I’m pretty sure that will be exhibit A at his judgement when God weighs his culpability in this shocking evil in the middle east. Even though it wasn’t his own decision to veto, no one made him cast the vote, so now to the whole world, he is the smug face of the United States in its arrogant plunge into the abyss of evil. Way to represent us and make friends, Bob. You should repent and ask God’s forgiveness, it would be a long, uphill climb for you, worth it in the end, but that picture will always be out there.
Eternity is a long, long time. It’s so long in fact, that any concept of time itself is meaningless – and all the words we use that relate to time, words like “before”, and “after”, and “until” – become meaningless as well. There is a YouTube documentary out there, superbly narrated by astrophysicist Doctor David Kipping, the end of which, in my opinion, is the best possible elucidation of eternal darkness (the outer darkness in scripture) one could ever imagine. The link is A Journey to the End of the Universe – – Video Search Results (yahoo.com). In the narrative, he postulates a theoretical trip on an imaginary manned spacecraft to what becomes the literal end of the universe. As expected from a proper scientist, he does not mention God, but nevertheless exhibits a near spiritual vision of what awaits his travelers, who I take the liberty to consider analogous to unbelievers. Indeed, the situation in which they find themselves at the end has definite spiritual ramifications. If you watch it with that in mind, it should be a definite wake-up call. Somewhere deep inside, one cannot help but believe Dr Kipping has (unintentionally?) encountered the profound realm of spirituality as may be ascertained from the conceptual, near poetic language with which he relates his story. What a powerful messenger for God he could be!
Today I’ve been 70 for two days. With the notable, yet unsurprising exception of humans continuing to determinedly expunge decency from the world, nothing overtly dramatic has happened since my birthday the day before yesterday. I’ve received Happy Birthday messages from people I love, and that means a lot and I thank all of you. This post is about some of the things I’ve learned during all those trips around the sun, as my dear niece so succinctly put the notion.
If you as a reader have paid attention to my ramblings on this site, you’ll have realized that I believe a healthy relationship with the Lord is of utmost importance in this phase of our existence, both for you and me. I’ve learned that growing in the knowledge (maybe familiarity is a better word) of Jesus is, as it should be, the consummate purpose of our lives whether or not we regard it as being so. So far, I’ve had seventy trips around that big ball of fusion to try and get that notion through my thick head. Sure, I think cognitive processions of life, scientific lore, world events, and history are important within their respective priority levels, but at the end of the day, having a clear conscience and coming to realize we have a friend, king, savior of unimaginable power, grace and love is by far more important to our existence than learning about the dedication with which Colonel Chamberlain defended Little Round Top or whatever level of strength our planet’s magnetic field has left.
We are each given a span of time here during which we have ample opportunity to seek our Savior. In the maternity ward when the nurses turn their backs, just imagine that an angel hangs an invisible tag our toe with a number on it. That figure is the precise number of heartbeats that particular body will attain, and it’s absolute. (I don’t remember if that concept is something I’ve heard before or if it’s just another thought that has rolled like soggy driftwood through this muddy old river between my ears, so I apologize if I’m plagiarizing someone else’s analogy). The only possible exception to this preset number of which I’ve ever heard was when King Hezekiah was informed of his impending demise and he prayed that God would extend his life for a while because evidently, he wasn’t quite ready to surrender, and God granted him more time to feed mosquitoes and remain captive to gravity. But even with God’s bountiful grace, I wouldn’t count on that deferment – He knows when it’s time for us to go. In short, and just as the flowers in the field, we have a set time to spend here, and we desperately need to get in touch with Jesus and learn of Him while we have opportunity.
As you know quite well, the world has become a massive tangle of confusion and it’s getting progressively harder to negotiate. (Try it at seventy). Most people have consciously chosen to proceed with their lives in purposeful ignorance of (and too often in contravention to) God’s ways. Especially with all of the distractions purposefully set out there. Life is comparable these days to a giant soap opera. It’s much more entertaining to keep up with nonsense like the financial adventures of the president’s relatives than to read up on prophecy or instructions on living a Godly life. Kids’ brains are progressively being turned into jelly from all the time they spend on Redditt or Instagram – and don’t even get me started on video games. We’re swamped with pornography and immorality of every imaginable sort. The days of Noah are indeed upon us.
War is raging in Europe with thousands of people dying weekly. France is burning; Africa is looking to come apart at the seams. Israelis are protesting by the tens of thousands. Germany is going broke. We continue to tiptoe on the edge of the nuclear razor. Kids watch half-naked girls dancing seductively to electronic music while their parents endlessly message each other with all the bizarre garbage that passes for information nowadays. Trust me, if ignorance is truly bliss then we are at the apex of paradise here in the USA! The whole world has gone absolutely insane! I gotta be missing something!
I walked outside this morning to a sultry August sunrise and spent some time watching beautiful little goldfinches leisurely feeding on my daughter’s sunflowers. There is a misty veil slowly drifting through a verdant Ozark calamity of woodland brush and vines. The silence is only superficially injured by birdsong; an indescribable fortune of Providence of which we here in the Ozarks are blessed to be part! I can but feel pity that so many souls with whom we share this planet are not so fortunate as to exist among, nor indeed to participate in, the grace of creation which we here in the country are daily blessed to enjoy. As I reflect with genuine sorrow on the horror of war, famine and other misfortune befalling so many people in this world, people just like you and me with wants and needs just like our own, but so unfortunate as to be in piteous situations not of their choosing, I thank God our neck of the woods is not visited with such horror – yet. I also harbor no doubt that it’s coming – how could He allow this iteration of Sodom and the sacrilegious behavior that today is so unabashedly propagated in our country to go unchallenged; unpunished? Do you think it is an accident that the very symbol of God’s promise – the rainbow – has become so perverted as to represent such indescribable abominations as it has today? Alas! And yet the little birds sing on…
Most all of our problems are the result of Satan’s taking advantage of human greed, lust – and pride. As the scriptures tell us, the lust of the eyes and the lust of the flesh and the pride of life do not come from God, but they are of this world, and those things are diametrically opposed to the way our Father expects us to think and behave. There are people in this world right now who spend all their time working (not real work, just in the scheming, greed-driven sense) to put more zeroes on the numbers in their bank accounts; the poor and hungry of the world be damned. These same people do their master’s bidding by promoting obnoxiously decadent and deviant behavior, smug in the knowledge that they have yachts and personal airplanes and “own” vulgar amounts of property – for now. Their execrable lifestyles will surely testify against them on the inevitable day of retribution, but for now they either simply ignore their fate, or they act as though they believe their dedication to Satan will carry the day. When the time comes, he will surely turn on them and even now tosses them their beloved lucre while laughing at their naivety.
For the rest of us – well stand fast in your faith in Jesus Christ with full confidence that He will return to this world bringing justice – and reward – for our patience and our love for Him and for each other. He even admonishes us to love those with whom we don’t agree. We don’t have to love their sinful behavior though. Do not lose hope; He said He would be back to claim His own, and He absolutely and forever will do as He says. And as for our journey among the current ills of the world – what a wonderful alternative we have the capacity to choose – peace of mind in the assurance of everlasting joy and comfort, and above all the incomprehensible and unwavering love that is the Lord in His blessed, glorious and mighty presence, forever!
How much longer do you think this can continue? You see the headlines every day, and every day something worse happens than the day before. Human beings are dying at the hand of other human beings on a scale unheard of, or at least only heard of in wartime. People are dying in the Ukraine by the tens of thousands every month. It’s hard to get a read on just how many, but great numbers of people are dying at the hand of other people in Sudan.
There’s turmoil in the Middle East – Syria, Yemen, Iraq, and Lebanon have all been burning for some time now. People are on the streets by the tens of thousands in Israel, France, Germany, and other European countries because they don’t agree with their governments’ untenable positions on many pressing issues. Terrible earthquakes continue to ravage diverse places in the world, killing tens of thousands. All the while, fingers edge closer to the big red button…
The big cities in the US are not safe, nor have they been for some time, what with all the homeless people trying to survive on the streets, and rampant crime. We have serious drug problems, and they aren’t going to magically go away – there’s too much money to be made. People need help and no one is offering it. Our government itself has been taken over by criminal elements – the very servants of Satan are in control of the US, and to be fair, they’re also in control of most other governments. Here in the US, we have armed militias waiting in the wings for a spark to ignite a conflagration which would consume the whole country. The world anxiously watches for this to begin. Unless we get a different kind of conflagration like a nuclear exchange, rebellion will likely happen.
I write from a mostly uninformed part of the country here in the US, namely in the Missouri Ozarks, but thanks to alternative news sources, we even get word here of all the troubles. I spend a lot of time outdoors trying to enjoy the beautiful spring unfolding here and praying a lot. I cannot for the life of me understand how people can ignore the appalling events and go on with their lives expecting things to work themselves out, when it’s pretty obvious that’s not going to happen.
The Bible warns us of these times – they were predicted hundreds, even thousands of years ago and sure enough, they are rapidly coming upon us. We are also admonished not to fear what is happening. That’s why I’m writing this post. We live in a time of unparalleled threats to ourselves and our fellow human beings, and it has to happen for the intended plan to unfold. To most people, myself included, it doesn’t make sense, but we can only see events from a human perspective. The correct perspective is one of spiritual discernment. The naysayers speak of the God-fearing among us as if we are fools, and maybe in a sense we are, but then so was Noah, and look who survived the flood. It was even more catastrophic than what we’ve seen so far, but things are in process that will make the casualties of Noah’s day seem unremarkable. And this time, it’s not about physical survival. The physical world will not survive intact this time.
Our warnings include the prophecy that an event will occur in which one-third of all humans will be killed. There are somewhere north of 8 billion people in this world and one third of that number will be a lot of people. Several scenarios could possibly account for deaths on that scale, but the way it looks, we’re going to suffer a massive nuclear war. I’ve written stories like this and this about some of the probable savagery of what life might be like for anyone who survives such a cataclysm – to try and get people to turn to God, as He is the only path for survival. Spiritual survival. Otherwise known as salvation. There’s much hope there, for Jesus Christ stands ready to save as many of us as will turn to Him. He’s the ONLY way out of this mess for us.
If you think about it, say you happen to be at ground zero of a nuclear blast, you’ll feel nothing. You won’t know it’s coming and it’ll be over for you in a millisecond. Not even enough time for your brain to register that you’ve been killed. The people who get eliminated like this will be the fortunate ones, at least as far as this life is concerned. The ones who do survive, and there probably won’t be many, will be the ones to suffer an existence of horror never before experienced by humanity, and the longer you live, the more suffering you will endure.
If you do a little research in the scriptures, you’ll find that we’re warned that Satan is rampaging in the world and creating madness and chaos, like a “roaring lion” because he knows his time is short. Now, for real, how hard is it to see that very thing happening in the world right now? Leaders of the nations, all in subservience to Satan, are absolutely mad, and are trying their best to spread their madness to the people over whom they have control. Sadly, through the use of their media which Satan has given them, they are having a great degree of success. There are precious few who are able to resist believing what the media is telling them. Alternative places that offer truth are being stamped out, so fewer places are out there for people to find out what’s really going on, but for the vast majority, that’s ok – they don’t want to know the truth – it upsets their world view. As long as they can get their bread and circus, they won’t seek the truth, which necessarily would require turning to the Almighty for guidance. I’ve mentioned it elsewhere, but things like the Satanic rituals of the CERN and Gotthard Tunnel opening ceremonies, and the devil-worshipping Brazilian parades are simply open affronts to everything Godly – people and the demons who control them are absolutely daring the Almighty to destroy them. And He will – you can bet on it.
These people will be the worst affected when it all comes tumbling down – they will not have prepared, physically or spiritually. It will be a completely unexpected shock to their systems, if they survive. They won’t be able to turn on CNN, FOX, or MSNBC to get whatever government narrative is being served up – those entities won’t exist anymore. If they survive the cataclysm, the people who do not fear God of whom I write will be completely lost, sick and starving with no help coming. The conditions mentioned here are described in biblical prophecy – a time of desperation never before experienced by humankind. However, as long as they are still alive, it won’t be too late to turn to God, but by waiting until such an appalling time to do so, they will have allowed themselves to be overcome by horrific world events to the degree that things will be a lot tougher.
I’ve brought this subject up and have received comments from those who claim to be unbelievers accusing folks like me of fearmongering. There are those who seem to take pride in proclaiming their unbelief in our God, they must think they sound brave to their fellow unbelievers. Imagine those same kinds of people clinging to logs and other flotsam as they watched the ark sailing off into the distance with Noah and his family high and dry inside. They most likely had been the ones to loudly proclaim their unbelief and mock old Noah as he pleaded with them to turn from their wickedness. With this in mind, it would behoove everyone to repent of their worldliness and wickedness and seek Jesus now while He can still be found. For what it’s worth, I implore you to do so – the clouds are gathering and the storm is going to be horrible.
There’s still some good news. God has people in strategic places in this world even as the threat of annihilation descends upon us. There are Christian preachers hard at work trying to help save as many people as possible. But as prophesied, there is a great falling away from the faith going on too. These are people who didn’t have their hearts in it to serve God. It’s not that hard to do, but the one thing that threatens people is their dreaded loss of money and status in the world. When the world comes tumbling down, believe me, money is going to be the last thing on people’s minds. How many millions of dollars would a starving person be willing to pay for a can of beans?
This will indeed be our last war. You have to be willing to fight in order to win. Find a preacher or other Christian to help show you the way to the Lord. Open up your bible. Be willing to repent for your sins and turn your life over to Jesus to lead you to the Life He has promised. He’s waiting for you, but He isn’t going to wait forever – this thing is in motion, Noah is closing the hatches right now, and before long the rain is about to come down – HARD! Don’t wait until it’s too late.
(Note: The following post is not by a preacher, just a regular person who reads the bible and tries to apply prophecy to what is going on in the world and share it. There is a tremendous blessing in store for those who turn away from this world of evil – and come to God. Anyone who has their eyes open can see some pretty awful times ahead, and there’s only one Way to be prepared for what’s coming.)
Try and imagine, put together in your mind, all of the confusion and chaos in the world right now. At this writing, there are serious riots going on in France – those have graduated to fires and violence. The French have for a long time served as a barometer of the level of tolerance of free people, or people who would be free, in the world. Now the nation of Israel is seeing streets filled with people who have had enough of their government. Germany seems to be following suit. There’s little more that can be said for the open rebellion against God that is going on with the parades that celebrate abominable behavior, madness in the form of gender lunacy, and in-your-face Satanic performances like the opening ceremonies of the Cern collider and Gotthard Tunnel.
Man-made affronts to God are not the only things to consider as the earth reels toward destruction. The earth’s magnetic poles are wandering away from the positions where we’ve always known them to be toward what appears to be a complete reversal of the earth’s polarity, and as it happens, the whole magnetic field is growing weaker. There are charts out there that show the decreasing strength of the field over time, and it’s getting much weaker now. That field is our protection from solar and cosmic radiation, and just over the last few days the earth has endured a significant solar storm, the severity of which cannot be explained from recent solar flares, because those flares were relatively insignificant. The only explanation that seems to account for the magnitude of the disturbance (auroras were seen in Florida!) is the weakness of the earth’s magnetic field. There are several science outlets who are saying the same things, one of which is an especially knowledgeable scientist at the YouTube channel, Suspicious0bservers – Earthquakes | Space Weather | Cosmology – Your Mind is Your Weapon who does a much better job of describing what is happening than I can, but I’m sure it’s another serious wake-up call from God for us to get prepared for some bad times. This is a very intelligent scientist who I’m sure is able to connect the dots all the way to God, in spite of his “scientific” background. He seems to have a growing understanding of God’s hand in things that are occurring, if I’m reading him correctly. He also observes that inexplicable psychological aberrations are becoming a major issue due to the effects on our minds being bombarded with radiation – look at the craziness in the world, especially among our leaders!
The earth is experiencing storms, floods, earthquakes, landslides, and other natural disasters of inexplicable ferocity and frequency in the last several years, and these are only the beginning of sorrows. For crying out loud, the Mississippi, Euphrates, Colorado, Danube, Nile, and other major rivers of the world are going dry! It’s obvious for anyone who has open eyes, that our God is not pleased with our conduct. There have been many times in the past when God brought devastation upon humans of this earth when their behavior became so egregious as to bring His wrath down upon them. The slaughter of the Israelites who worshipped the golden calf (think Wall Street bull), Sodom and Gomorrah, the flood of Noah, the earthquake at Christ’s crucifixion, and other instances when people who suffered the wrath of God who were supposed to acknowledge God’s preeminence and His commandments – all happened. We are at such a time now!
Back to our own insane determination to bring destruction on ourselves, there is a discussion going on about Russia sending nuclear weapons to Belarus in response to the recent threat of UK sending depleted uranium ammunition to the Ukraine. This is significant! The nuclear genie is slowly but surely being squeezed out of the bottle, and it won’t go back in. According to an increasingly accepted interpretation of Revelation 18, and as I wrote in A Time of Unimaginable Sorrow is Upon Us – Folk Potpourri the United States (the modern Babylon?) will be utterly destroyed in a horrible and devastating fire event. A nuclear bombardment fits the description, although there are other things which might also cause the destruction described, such as an asteroid hit, or solar ejecta from a massive coronal mass ejection, which would get to earth essentially as a type of devastating meteor shower, but the way things are shaping up, and because of the mention of kings of the earth standing at a distance for fear of her torment, which I believe is referring to radiation, I think it will be a nuclear strike. (author’s note: kings of the earth standing at a distance for fear of her torment might also mean leaders of other nations putting distance between their policies and Babylon’s fearing their own destruction by the same enemy). Either way, whatever remains of Babylon, she will be utterly alone.
The world that was described in the above mentioned post probably wasn’t accurate though, because the bible speaks of such total devastation of Babylon that there will be no survivors at all. For those of us who live here and face annihilation, the way to survive is the same – we must repent of our evil ways and ask for forgiveness through Jesus Christ. It’s the only way through this terrible time that’s surely coming upon us! Think about the days of Noah – he had been forewarned, so he absolutely knew what was coming and tried to tell those people to change their ways, and they laughed at him until it was too late. It’s sad to imagine those hapless souls finally coming to their senses and wading out through the deepening water only to find the doors of the ark were closed. Jesus told us the world will be the same just prior to our own destruction. Will people at last come to their senses only when they see the huge mushroom clouds?
There is a serious war going on in the Ukraine in which hundreds of thousands have been killed and injured. Only a precious few people actually know what that is really all about, but from the way all of the western leaders are prostrating themselves, it is obvious they have been given their orders from the real leaders who themselves serve Satan and operate behind the curtain. The whole of them are beasts with no concern for human life. More on them later.
Think about it. There have been train wrecks, contaminating vast areas of the country but largely ignored by our leaders and their equally conspiratorial media. At this writing, the state of Mississippi has just endured massive tornado damage with dozens of people killed. Hundreds of thousands of American citizens are living on the streets of major cities in drug-addicted squalor. And our “president” is only interested in whatever more he can authorize to send to the most corrupt government in the world in Ukraine. What is sent there is solely intended to increase the death and destruction. Does that make any sense at all to you?
All you hear from our congress is also whatever more can be done to support the murderous regime in Ukraine, up to and including the use of nuclear weapons, and our citizens continue to look the other way, waiting for suspicious balloons or the latest Hollywood sex scandal. Maybe we should be in the streets like the French, the Germans, and the Israelis. Frankly, I’m starting to believe we deserve what we have coming, and that isn’t going to be pretty.
The earlier post mentioned above attempted to get people’s attention to what is actually going on in our world, and what it is leading up to for some of us. It was posted on other websites and it actually was viewed by readers in many countries, so at least it got out there, but I’m afraid the message might have fallen short of what the post was trying to get across. The word “unimaginable” was not in that title for no reason. This world is careening toward the edge of an abyss never before experienced by humankind! How do we know this? It’s in the bible! That sacred text so many of us claim to believe, to honor; now listen with your heart to what it says, (Rev6:8), “So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.”
With the sword: The sword mentioned in the verse obviously includes all of the ways humans will be killed by the ravages of war, especially nuclear war. With hunger: The aforementioned post attempted to provide imagery of how horrible the rampant starvation will be in a post-apocalyptic world, but I fear it doesn’t come close to describing the actual horror, both of suffering devastating hunger oneself, and watching fellow citizens, family members, pets, etc., starve literally to death! With death: How, you ask, does an entity kill with death? Ever heard of typhus? Look it up. I’m not a doctor, but I’d wager there are plenty of other risks associated with being around, and drinking water contaminated by, a lot of rotting flesh, of which, with some portion of a fourth of humanity already dead, there will be plenty. With the beasts of the earth: It’s arguable here that John is speaking here of murder by human beasts. In chaotic times of anarchy with no law and order. Murder, which is already rampant, will undoubtedly be commonplace. Human life, scarcely valued now, will become totally worthless to these beasts. Second and third-tier nations whose hostilities were held in check by threats from “superpowers” (who by then will all have suffered some degree of devastation), will also be free to settle scores with now unprotected enemies. There will be mass death and murder on a scale never before experienced. We already hear of many people being killed so their organs can be harvested to keep such beasts alive. One fourth of the people of the earth today is around two billion souls!
Forewarning of macabre days of unimaginable sorrow is handed to us in the bible and will be a time of unprecedented tribulation. In all of our lives we endure some degree of hardship, so we have an idea of what the word means, but “unimaginable” means we cannot conceive of the terror and despair of the great tribulation that is about to be visited upon us. (Matthew 24:21), “For there will be a tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.”
This was spoken by Jesus Christ himself, so its veracity and the weight cannot be questioned, nor indeed fathomed by us mere humans, who have never had occasion to envision the horror of existence that this world will suffer during such a time. A time of incredible darkness, despair, not knowing where the next bite of food will come from, or if there will even be a next bite of food. At that point, people won’t even know if there will be a next breath! Overwhelming stench of death and sickness, poisoned water – people dying of thirst will know that to take a drink of it will be to die an agonizing death – will be rampant. Once beautiful forests dying, along with all of their creatures, everywhere eyes of the dead staring vacantly into that next world. It will indeed be sorrow on an unimaginable scale…
When the angels start pouring their bowls of affliction and sounding their trumpets, things are going to degenerate into horror of which humanity has never witnessed. But if one refuses to give in to fear and despair, there’s hope:
Revelation 14:14,15: Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat one like a Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, “Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.”
There is one body of believers who believe and hope that Jesus will return to collect His people in what is scripturally described as the Rapture, and that body believes it will happen prior to the great tribulation. Many others share in that hope, but aren’t all in agreement of the timing. Exactly when the rapture will occur in relation to the tribulation is one of the scriptural issues that has been debated seemingly forever. The one thing we can be certain of is that “The Rapture” will occur; He will harvest His people from this place of despair and trouble for that next life, the real life – of wonder, peace, and joy, which will itself be unimaginable. Scripture says so, (1 Corinthians 2:9) “For eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
If it has never entered into the heart of man, that means it has never been imagined. If it has never been imagined by all of the billions of people that have existed since it was written, that suggests that it’s truly unimaginable. Nevertheless, it will be a joyous time for those who have decided to trust Jesus!
For now, we live in a world where a time of great sorrow is indeed upon us. We are moments in cosmic time away from the abyss of nuclear catastrophe designed by the enemy of God and mankind, to throw all of God’s creation into a morbid chaos of death and despair. A time is coming of unparalleled fear not experienced by human beings in all of history. Nothing can be done to stop it, it’s infallible scriptural prophecy – and Satan is in charge of all the people in place who could prevent it. Their minds are taken, and anyone with eyes can see their total insanity. They are drunk from the cup of madness. (Isaiah 29:9), “Pause and wonder! Blind yourselves and be blind! They are drunk, but not with wine; They stagger, but not with intoxicating drink.” (Jeremiah 51:7) Babylon was a golden cup in the Lord’s hand, That made all the earth drunk. The nations drank her wine: therefore the nations are deranged.
The good news is that there is a way to get through it! Though we often stumble as if we walk in darkness, not seeing the things over which we trip, we have a precious Helper. In this world of darkness, there are many clever obstacles laid in our paths that we cannot see without a Guiding Light to reveal such things for what they are. Situations constantly arise in our lives in which we do not realize at first will lead us to distraction from God, but Jesus is always there to show the right Way to His beloved.
In the 14th chapter of Matthew there is the story of Jesus walking on the water out to the boat where the disciples were, and Peter, astonished at what he was seeing, asked Jesus if he could walk on the water and come to Him. Jesus permitted him and as he began, he was able to walk on the water toward Jesus, but at some point, Peter lost his concentration on the Lord and began to sink into troubled waters and fear. Jesus then reached out His blessed hand, in an act which should take a preeminent place in the mind and heart of every Christian, to take Peter into His care, preventing him from falling from His grace, in the passage represented by sinking into the dark water of the sea. That’s what He does – that’s why He’s Jesus – Yeshua, our blessed and beloved savior! When we lose our concentration on Him because of all of the turmoil and despair of the terrible events taking place in the world, He reaches out His hand to take and hold us in His care and protection. He loves us with an UNIMAGINABLE love! We must focus on Him through whatever of these hard times we have to endure, and we will be just fine! It’s also important to remember that Peter only started slipping into the sea after his faith weakened. Why that happened is not made clear, but if Peter could have kept his focus on Jesus, it’s doubtful he would have gotten into trouble. Another lesson for us to hold onto and cherish!
As we anticipate terrible things coming our way, and terrible times are coming, you can count on it! It’s imperative that we find Jesus Christ and hold fast to Him to lead us through the perils we face. There’s no reason to fear – though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we need fear no evil – we shall get through it with Him.
