The things happening in the world today should serve, if nothing else, to reveal to us that mankind does not have it in him to direct his own way. For crying out loud, look where we are! Look at the horrors of war and destruction happening in so many places in the world – how can humankind be so smug as to behave as though men are in control of everything when we watch the homes of multimillionaires – some of them supporters or financiers of genocide – burning into cinders in some of the ritziest places in Los Angeles? Their money couldn’t save their homes; is this God’s way of showing us that wealth and the (illusion of) security it brings are by no means absolute?
I personally believe the LA fires, as well as all of the unusually severe weather events, such as the winter storm that just ravaged Great Britain and the Saudi Arabian floods in the desert – are reminders from the Almighty that He is watching. He’s watching as tens of thousands of children are being mercilessly slaughtered in places like Gaza – especially in Gaza – and He hears prayers by the thousands, maybe millions, for His intercession, as we wait for Him to move. It’s an odd thing that we seem to hope for the hosts of Heaven to appear, angelic swords and lightning flashing; thunder pealing, looking for the planes and tanks of the evil ones to burst into flames, but alas for us impatient folks, God works in His own way – maybe those things will take place one day, but for now we are left to try and connect the dots between the Hind Rajab atrocity and the fires in the Pacific Palisades; between the demon-possessed military men who laugh as they post videos of blowing up homes in Gaza and snarled traffic from unexpected snowstorms in places that have never seen snow, at least in living memory.
As believers in Jesus Christ, we have to force ourselves to acknowledge the disconnect (and it is a huge disconnect) between how we would handle the atrocities that are going on, and how the Almighty chooses to deal with it. Keep in mind that He can see both sides of this experience we call existence. He sees what is happening here on earth for sure, but unlike us He also is able to see things on the other side, and therefore has other resources besides His great wisdom from which to draw on for the action He takes. I think this is the main reason we allow ourselves to be so incredulous as we await signs of His retribution upon those who perpetrate this evil genocide. For instance, we are shocked and dismayed at the loss of life of the children and other victims, but He sees those children sitting in eternal joy in the arms of Jesus on the other side – He knows they are and will forevermore be safe and their tears have been wiped away, so His methodology is not influenced by their loss the same way as it drives us (to hope for vengeance) here on earth.
God is eternal, time means nothing to Him, so He doesn’t have to be in a rush and has the luxury of patience, and as odd as it may sound, the worst offenders of human norms right now have the same opportunity for repentance and salvation as anyone else, and it’s quite possible that their consciences will evoke contrition to the extent that they might seek Jesus Christ. At least the opportunity is there for now. Many of them have been unable to come to grips with some of the things they have done and instead of repenting, have taken their own lives like the Israeli bulldozer operator a while back. Right now, everyone has time to seek Christ’s forgiveness and come to the Kingdom, but that time is growing short. How do we know this? [Revelation 12:12]: Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.” He has but a short time in which to do his wickedness and he knows it therefore his wrath and hatred of all things moral and Godly is being revealed – he is out in the open with it, daily hammering at the fortresses in which good people try to take refuge, so we must be sure the refuge we choose is the right one.
As believers in Christ, our Fortress is the solid Rock – Jesus Christ – which Satan, try as he might, cannot assail, and he seethes with rage against those of us who have chosen Jesus Christ in order to be victorious over this world of which the devil with all his riches temporarily has charge. Do not give in to the despair of watching the evils that are happening! The situation, as dire as it is for now, is not hopeless! We are not, nor will we ever be helpless, no matter how desperate things appear – that despair is one of the devil’s most lethal weapons and it works best against those who are faint of heart. Our hearts can be strengthened, though: [Psalm 27:14]: “Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!” We must be patient – Jesus spoke of the importance of patience in the last days, He even told us how as well as the importance of being patient, [Revelation 14:12]: “Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” Yes – following His commandments and keeping the faith in Jesus results in our patience. Some things are still to take place before the end, among which wars and rumors of wars will plague humankind until the very end: [Revelation 14:12] “He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.”
There’s are many places in Scripture that speak of patience such as one of my own favorites from the Apostle Paul: [2 Thessalonians 3:5]: “Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.” The point is that we must go against our human nature of impatience – no matter how dire the situation – and keep on trusting that God will take care of things in His time, no matter how urgent things might seem to us at a given moment.
Food for thought: Our prayers mean a lot to the Father: [James 5:16]: “Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” Since we realize our prayers can influence the Father, think about this. Our prayers have great significance when they reach His throne, He will take action: [Revelation 8:3] “Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. 4 And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand. 5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And there were noises, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake.” Our prayers will play a big role in the events of the end times – before the very throne of God! We must never allow ourselves to believe our prayers aren’t important!
The human-induced events happening in the world these days may very well be connected to fires and floods. Worse punishment from God has been levied in the past because of human behavior. Remember Sodom. God is the Master planner – it may be that in the decadent places of the world God has chosen to show the wealthy just how impotent they really are in the face of His awesome power. For instance, we might indeed be impressed at the destruction caused by a 2,000 lb. bomb, but have you ever considered what it might be like to witness God’s devastation in a super volcano eruption, or how about a stellar nova up close? Mankind has it in his power to blow up a building or even a city, but the Almighty can take out millions of light years of stars and planets whenever He wants. Wildfires and floods in decadent cities are no problem for Him to set and spread with high winds of His mighty breath.
Satan might have the upper hand with human beings for now, but you can rest assured that’s about to change – and forever so. In the meantime, pray, just chill out and watch God work…
May the blessings of the Almighty God find and keep us.
No normal human being with a heart and soul can possibly justify, rationalize, or especially ignore – the travesty that is taking place in Palestine today. Certainly no practicing Christian can support the outright murder of children, this is beyond insane! As far as the church goes, for a man who is looked at as a minister of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to stand before an audience of would-be servants of Jesus and try to convince them that as Christians, they need to support the Zionist cause (which includes these endless acts of murder of innocents), is a universe away from the truth, and these misled sheep will find that if they don’t stop following these teachings, it will eventually cost them their eternal souls.
Men, women, and children of Gaza and the West Bank are losing their possessions, their homes, their lives and most tragically, the lives and limbs of their children every day and the so-called Christian members of many mega churches are expected to unquestioningly support the purveyors of this wanton murder. These parishioners support it because some demon-possessed millionaire pastor has twisted the Bible scriptures into some grotesque screed that requires them to support murder by a Synagogue of Satan – and they seem to be okay with it. For the sake of your own soul, people, stop listening to these evil creatures and READ YOUR OWN BIBLE! Understand that with the right motivation ($$$), those who follow Satan can contort the scriptures and make the Bible say whatever they want it to say. That’s why to gain a proper understanding of God’s Word, we must have the Spirit within us to reveal it to us as we dig into it for ourselves. If the words of this post seem strong, then I suppose it’s good, as many of us are passionate in our service to Christ; maybe it will wake some up. I believe we will be forgiven for using language that might be too passionate; but there will be no forgiveness for staying silent in the face of evil.
People not familiar with Christianity, especially in other nations see this support by “Christian” churches for abject genocide and are aghast that any “religion” could support something that even the most secular of atheists can plainly see is wrong. For this reason, many non-believers reject Christianity because a big chunk of its followers support Zionist murder. This support is largely due to the followers of said churches buying into the notion of the “righteousness” of today’s Israel. People who are not familiar with the Bible actually think Christianity teaches that we should be on board with genocide, and from the gusto with which false teachers spout their fabrications, you can’t blame outsiders for thinking so. Those mega church members who listen to charlatan millionaires are committing grave offenses to their own religion, and there’s no way God could be pleased. Though I am not a preacher, nor have I lived the ideal Christian life in my past, the Spirit inside my heart is stirring – It’s telling me to speak through this platform to try and reach as many people as possible who seek to serve the Lord and turn them from supporting the obvious evil being visited upon the Palestinians. If the reader knows anyone who may be caught in the snare of which I’m speaking, share this post and maybe some of this will hit home. And no, I’m not saying like and subscribe; my site is not monetized, and although it’s encouraging to see good numbers of folks are interested in the truth of Jesus Christ, as far as my vast wealth goes it makes no difference if I have many or few readers. I write strictly from the Word of God and things the Spirit says to my conscience and my conscience says it’s high time for real Christians to stand up and be seen and heard. When we find ourselves surrounded by those who support behavior that goes against the teachings of Jesus, we must remove ourselves: [2 Corinthians 6:17]’ Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” Think about it, we have this amazing chance to show God that we are willing to stand with Jesus and in this case against the martyrdom of innocent Palestinians – and true followers of Jesus Christ are the only people in the whole world whose fervent prayers can get this travesty stopped.
News flash! The people of the geographical nation of Israel are NOT God’s Chosen people! Just because they call themselves Jews does not make them Jews, and Jesus plainly says of the people (of the last days) who call themselves Jews are not Jews at all, and that it is blasphemy for them to make the claim that they are. They are a synagogue of Satan, [Revelation 3:9],”Indeed I (Jesus) will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie —indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you…. “, and it doesn’t matter to the Lord how much (ill-gotten) money their wealthy benefactors here in the US pour into the American government, the universities, and the mega churches, they are indeed a synagogue of Satan, and nothing short of them repenting and accepting Jesus Christ is going to change that! Satan has given them ($$$) power over a big portion of the world, and we true Christians are fighting this battle without any support from worldly sources. But we have to keep trying to hammer the point home that if we get and keep our heads screwed on right and follow Jesus to the very end, and that if we reject $atan’s offers, we can expect to win this fight! Of course, Satan knows it too, so expect some serious bumps in the road we have chosen, but He promises you it will have been worth it in the end when we hear Him say [Matthew 25:23]: “Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.” What must gnaw at the very essence of Satan is the fact that neither he nor any of his servants will ever experience the joy of hearing that absolute statement of victory. It is within our reach, folks!
I have a habit, and I suppose it’s a habit we can get into from the frustration of feeling helpless to do anything about the travesty that is Palestine. This habit is allowing the optimism that we sometimes get when watching news clips about the fighting going on in places like Gaza, and it seems like every time we hear of some minor success of the Resistance, we tend to feel vindication because we’re pulling for them, but on some level of our spirit, we have to know deep down that this battle cannot be won with more violence. We must remember that the people who are committing this incredible evil are still human beings – it’s just that their spirit has been taken over by evil – that evil is the enemy. Some of the most courageous and wise men who have ever lived such as Mohandas Ghandi, Martin Luther King, oh, and Jesus Christ, taught that violence is not the way to victory. Violence only begets more violence. Hatred only begets more hatred – one of our biggest obstacles in these times of evil is that if we aren’t careful, we allow hatred to fester in our hearts. There’s a good argument to be made from the scriptures, that it is no sin to become angry at the evil that’s happening, but when we allow that anger to foment hatred or violence against other people, we begin down that slippery slope toward sin, and if we don’t rein it in, then Satan wins that way too. And after everything is said and done, that’s where the ultimate battle is taking place – in each and every one of our hearts. Jesus indeed teaches us how to gain victory over evil, and though His methodology goes against every human instinct inside us, it is the correct Way – the ONLY Way to achieve what He intends for us – victory! And, from the way things are developing, this victory is going to have to be won on the final lap, but it looks like that’s the way it’s intended, but that’s another issue.
We, as followers of Christ, have access to the greatest weapon ever known. That is the love of God, and the evil ones can never access His love. Satan cannot bear the notion that the poorest peasants in the world can obtain something he can never have – and to further his frustration, the righteous ones cannot be bought with his most significant weapon – money. The love of God is the greatest force that could ever be brought to bear, and only we who follow Jesus Christ have access to it. And it’s free for the asking. As many of us try to awaken Christians who are being misled by servants of Satan posing as ministers, I try to help them to imagine what power is within their grasp! If the Christian world were to awaken and rise up in condemnation of this great sin of genocide, we have access to the Power that could stop it. If millions of Christians were to fervently pray the same prayer, we could move mountains – and stop genocide! Satan knows that, and he pays his pulpit managers handsomely to keep those members (who could otherwise avail themselves of this power) convinced that: a) The ridiculous notion that the murderers are the righteous Chosen of God, b) It’s okay with God for the murders to be taking place, because, a). None of them speak of the love of God and its power. None of them know about the love of God, nor do they have any idea of its power. None except their master, Satan.
If you happen to be one who has not made the choice to follow Christ, there’s another power you can have – that of the blood of Jesus for forgiveness of sin which was shed for precisely that purpose thousands of years ago. With the decision to follow Jesus, when you are baptized into His Kingdom, every sin, every error, every bad choice you have ever made in your whole life will be instantly forgiven, gone forever, the Almighty God himself will approve you just as you are, such is the power of this marvelous blood. If you read this in some country overseas and would like to be part of that fellowship, seek out a Christian ministry, they are all over the world, and join it. The US is full of churches, and some of them are real – find one. Get your hands on a Holy Bible and read it.
On the last day of war on earth, Jesus will have amassed a mighty army with which He will emerge victorious over the servants of evil who challenge Him. Those who chose to serve in that mighty army will be peasants, servants, farmers, shepherds, not military types at all, and certainly not wealthy people, but those who will have chosen to join ranks with Him – you, and me, the meek and lowly of the earth who have put pride behind them and rejected a sinful life of decadence on this earth – in exchange for that joyous promise of eternal life in His presence. Those who have decided much to the chagrin of Satan, that they cannot be bought at any price. Then pray to the Lord and watch Him work – to say He is amazing would be the quintessential understatement. No one knows, no one can imagine the peace and joy of the existence we are about to inherit! You can purchase your ticket ahead of time by accepting and choosing to follow Jesus Christ today. He has already paid the price.
May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us all.
When we read about the recent tragedies in Las Vegas and New Orleans, the media cries to high Heaven, and don’t get me wrong – these are indeed horrible occurrences in our troubled nation – but all the fatalities in those two incidents don’t even begin to equal the human toll on an average day in Gaza, so where’s all the concern for human life over there? The cracks grow wider every day in the foundation of trust on which our mainstream media once built their reputations. It’s almost like they’re not the least bit concerned anymore that they’ve lost public confidence, they just keep on bleating out whatever they are told to offer, typically in their more and more transparent “Operation Mockingbird” instructions. For instance, all mainstream organizations were instructed, almost in unison, almost like some kind of evil chant, to repeat what the Congresspeople were also carefully trained to say, “Israel has a right to defend itself.”, When, in reality that’s a big misdirection in and of itself – what the Zionists are doing to the Palestinians is nothing even resembling self-defense and everyone knows it, so why don’t they just stop squawking?
No one from the government, especially the spook agencies instructed them to sing that the Palestinians have a right to defend themselves, so they don’t dare. Neither do they hysterically chant that Afghanistan, Vietnam, Venezuela, Russia, nor (especially) Iran etc. have that same “right”. The only ones. it seems on whom “the right to defend themselves” is conferred are those directly connected to the ownership of the media, the halls of congress, and even the white house. When the objective reader takes into consideration who owns the media and the government, the double standard concerning those who have a right to defend themselves and those who apparently do not, becomes painfully obvious.
Every day, even on alternative media, we are kept apprised of every Zionist military service member who is killed, along with his name, rank, hobbies, etc. When we hear of Gazan civilians who have been murdered by the occupation, in another glaring double standard, we just hear numbers. Horrific numbers that are typically in the hundreds every horrifying day. It’s like, as (evil ex “Defense” Minister) Yoav Gallant named them, human animals, they don’t have names. Neither the US government nor the media is interested in who they were. Who they are. But the Palestinian mothers mourn their dead children every bit as painfully as the mothers of slain Israeli soldiers. Hunger pains gnaw at the insides of barefooted Gaza children the same as they would “real” humans.
The sacred right to defend themselves – from these.
When the media informs us of anything to do with the Houthis, they always say the “Iran-backed” Houthi rebels, or Iran-backed Hezbollah, but they never say the US-backed Zionists. Apparently from the perspective of western mainstream media, it’s only abhorrent when it’s Iran, China, or Russia backing some entity and never the US-backed Saudis or the NATO-backed regime in the Ukraine. How about the US-backed HTS terrorists? Same concept for supplying weapons – the Houthis get most of their weapon support from Iran, true enough, but it is invariably mentioned in news reports, whereas the American bombs being dispensed from American made jets by the Zionist Air Force, US backing rarely is admitted with the same emphasis. So, we are left to believe that it’s against “the rules-based order” for any proxy entity to be armed or supported by anyone outside the American Military Industrial Complex, at least according to our news media here in the west.
Nikki Haley practicing penmanship – “Finish them” – what a gal!
One of the saddest parts of this, at least to me, is that the majority of my fellow countrymen just stare with a blank look on their faces when someone say things like Operation Mockingbird, or the 9/11 false flag, or the Gaza holocaust, and even worse, they would never work up the curiosity to look it up for themselves. If I was a gambling man, I’d bet money that 1 in 100 Americans have never even heard of Operation Condor. Is it any wonder they approvingly gulp down then regurgitate ad nauseum everything the Rupert Murdoch-backed Fox News shovels to them? Is it any wonder the American politicians feel free to eat drivel from Zionist’s hands and do their bidding – while their constituents, most of them with no clue of what’s happening, remain oblivious to the fact that their government and their media has been taken over and predominantly serve Zionist interests? Average citizens of other countries keep up with international politics, but not here in the land of the “free”. So average Americans, ignorant by choice, get the honor of being considered supporters of the genocide and murder of innocent people in the Middle East, whether they know it or not. And if they don’t know it, it’s their own fault for only watching mainstream news and believing their lies. Not knowing whom they serve isn’t going to be an excuse later when they have to answer to a Higher Power when it really counts.
It once was an innocent looking peacock…
Now we get to the similarity of double standards in other arenas of American life, and if you are among the regular readership of Folkpotpourri, you know where this is going – yes, to the double standards of what passes for churches in this country. Starting with one of the ten commandments that says, [Exodus :13] “Thou shalt not kill (murder)”, however, preachers in many congregations allude that it’s ok for the occupation forces to conduct genocide on the Palestinians, not only for them to do it, but these charlatans tell their congregations that Christians must support them, following Netanyahu’s grossly inapplicable Old-Testament narrative of the Amalekites. These same guys feign shock and recoil from the horror of someone committing an act of terrorism on American soil and go on to rave and rant about how evil it is to kill innocent people (think 9/11) and it is truly evil, no doubt, but way too often that same preacher tells his congregation it’s their Christian duty to support the slaughter going on in Gaza. This is blatant hypocrisy! Murder, especially of innocents, is NEVER justifiable, and if you attend a church that even hints that it’s acceptable you need to change your place of worship – period. When some following or the other arrives at any point where murder is advocated, or even excused, especially in our churches, Satan has truly won the battle there.
How can church-going Americans be ok with this?
I, as a Christian American, will never believe we owe it to the Zionist entity to rationalize or justify the slaughter they are conducting, regardless of how many American politicians and/or pastors they own. Regardless of how much money defense contractors make from it. Zionist soldiers and civilians make videos and laugh as they blow up people’s homes. They make fun of the Palestinians not having water, or bereaved mothers crying as they hold the lifeless bodies of their precious children. They ransack Palestinian homes, laughing and video recording themselves sporting women’s underwear. There was a case where a Palestinian man in a Zionist prison was sodomized with a broom (he died from internal injuries because of it) and when someone suggested the soldiers who did it be prosecuted the civilian population and regulars in the army rose up and rioted in defense of them. That kind of behavior is obviously acceptable for Zionists. These people are demon-possessed, evil monsters and amply demonstrate why the sane world doesn’t want them in their countries. They constantly whine and bawl because the world hates them and kicks them out of their countries, but when they got their own country and were given the opportunity to show the world they could fit in, this is how they truly behave, for the world to see. More and more, even the most secular of nations want nothing to do with them. In their Satanic mockery of the plight they impose on their fellow human beings, they bear no resemblance – physical or spiritual – to the ancient and honorable Hebraic peoples of the lineage of Abraham or King David. They mock Jesus Christ, to Whom Christians are forever indebted, and I, for one, am repulsed by their disrespect for my Savior and for their demonic behavior. I try my best not to hate anyone, but I find myself obliged to exercise my God-given right to anger at their atrocities. I feel the same, and if the truth was known I’d bet I’m not alone, towards the pathetic whores in Washington who have (almost all – hang in there, Rep Massey) sold their souls to the Zionists who crack the whip on them in OUR capitol. I think most of all, I’m repulsed by how the so-called pastors in this country’s Christian churches, teaching their flocks to support demons who commit murder and genocide in the name of Jesus.
Same murderous mindset – different Victim
Why can’t we get this over to MAGA Americans, or to the thousands who fill the pews of the mega churches that support the Zionists? Surely, they’re not that thick-headed, but then the Bible does say, [Mark 4:12] “so that ‘Seeing they may see and not perceive, And hearing they may hear and not understand; Lest they should turn, And their sins be forgiven them.’ ” The Christian Churches of the United States have the numbers to make a difference, if only the members weren’t being misled by the Satanic influence of liars behind the pulpit. The gate is wide indeed. We, as followers of Christ must pray incessantly that God will open their eyes so they can turn to obedience to Jesus Christ – and become the Christian numbers needed for the end of the slaughter of innocents of Gaza.
May the blessings of the Almighty God find and keep us as we enter into these dark times.
You’d think the state of affairs in the world today would at last reveal who the servants of evil actually are, but it looks like even here in America a lot of people are able to read about the horrors that are Gaza while they eat breakfast, because they are sufficiently misled to believe “God’s Chosen People” are committing it. There are actually so-called pastors of huge flocks that stand in front of their assemblies and spout absolute lies to the flocks about how we (America) must stand with Israel because of God’s promise to Abraham that He would bless those who bless his progeny and curse those who curse them. The way modern pastors have twisted this promise into these monstrous falsehoods by omitting relevant changes from one covenant to another beggars belief. These lies, mostly of omission, which are eagerly consumed by thousands of people who put on a righteous show but actually prefer not to serve God, are used to justify their choice to support the ongoing tragedy that is Palestine. In fact, it is precisely the reality that “evangelical Christians” so steadfastly support the monsters that call themselves “God’s chosen” that allow their genocide to continue. If the American political world were to realize that this huge bloc of constituents was against the massacre of Gazans, it would no doubt cease. For your information – and do not forget this – God’s chosen people under the new Covenant are those – Jew and Gentile – who believe and have chosen to follow Jesus Christ, God’s beloved Son. The spiritual descendants of Abraham. That’s right – even if one happens to be a genetic descendant of Abraham, if he is a nonbeliever in the New Covenant that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and does not live his life accordingly, he cannot legitimately make the claim to be of God’s Chosen People, but it would be nigh impossible to convince the patrons of Judas Hagee of this truth. Please remember that because it makes for easier understanding of who God’s people really are.
If the reader is a fence-sitter, or even someone who is torn over the notion that God’s people could be committing the atrocities that are happening in occupied Palestine, remember when John the Baptist was baptizing people in anticipation of Christ’s arrival and he was approached by Pharisees and Sadducees and he said [Matthew 3:7].“You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?” Consider this carefully – here is John the Baptist whom Jesus Himself declared to be one of the greatest men to have ever been born of woman, [Matt 11:11], “Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist…” speaking to those who considered themselves – as do Israelis of today – to be God’s Chosen, calling them a brood of vipers! What an antisemite!
First of all, and as foretold by Jesus, the people who call themselves Jews in the last days (now) are not even Jews at all. There are ample articles that point out the inconvenient truth that the occupation is populated by descendants of Eastern European ancestry and are not Hebraic at all, but this post does not go into them. Jesus says in His letter to the church of Smyrna [Revelation 2:9] “…I know about the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan”. And what did He say of the claim to be Jews? Blasphemy! This verse is extremely important and applicable today. These people are not Jews, neither genetically nor spiritually, but actually are servants of Satan claiming to be Jews! If one chooses to believe Jesus, they must recognize this fact. Secondly, and this is also a very important point to keep in mind, the title of – and promises to – “God’s Chosen” has passed to Abraham’s spiritual descendants, and this includes all peoples of all nations who have accepted the Son of God, and never let those charlatans who pose as preachers tell you any different, there’s just too much evidence in the Bible, old and new Testaments, that support that fact. Once again, look at what John the Baptist says to the Pharisees, [Matt 3:9] “and do not think to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.” The implication here is that God is able to raise up servants to Himself from other places (nations) than the physical lineage of Abraham – it’s quite clear and in the same vein as [1 Corinthians 1:2] “To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours…” Corinth was a gentile city, but the apostle says they are called to be saints (His holy people), showing that the title of God’s Chosen has been passed to all who believe in Jesus in every place. There are countless other scriptures in the Word of God that support the title of God’s Chosen being (exclusively) extended to all who follow Christ, with clear warnings in some of them to those who reject the Son, regardless of who they claim to be. Why does that have to be so hard to understand? The bellwether of being one of God’s people is whether or not he believes in and follows Christ and not whether or not he is of genetic lineage to Abraham, even if he was actually of that lineage instead of just claiming to be, as do those in occupied Palestine today.
As for how these arguments are shaping world events, I believe there are a whole bunch of people who are in for the shock of their lives when they find out for sure the “chosen” ones not only aren’t who they claim to be, but also when it sinks in that they have been intentionally supportive of a rogue and murderous regime. Not everyone who thinks these people are really Godly do so because they are evil people themselves, but due to close-mindedness, and/or being too lazy to study the Word of God, they choose to support a Satanic nation. It is extremely important to understand, however that on that great Day when Jesus separates the sheep from the goats, the claim that they were deceived isn’t going to cut them any slack. Those people are deceived because they choose to be deceived! They are deceived because they got all their information from sources like mainstream news, where deep down they know is a never-ending stream of lies. They watched evangelists who make tons of money from preaching the “gotta support Israel” sermons knowing these guys are swindlers and charlatans. And on that Day, Jesus will say the most heart-rending and terrifying words ever to have been heard, to the everlasting condemnation of the soul, [Matthew 7:23] “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” My friends whom I try with all my heart to convince, you do not want to find yourself on the receiving end of those words! The absolute shock, the utter horror that will come upon the heart will be unimaginable – to hear Him say, “I never knew you”, and it will reverberate in that soul for all of eternity, made more horrific by the knowledge that it could have so easily been avoided – simply by standing in the shelter of the Rock and refusing to listen to Satan’s lies coming from evil governments through the news and from millionaire preachers who lie to us for their own riches . We all need to open our eyes and our hearts before it is too late, and the time is near.
I just watched a video that claimed China is now supplying the Houthis with weapons they can and are using to hit the occupied territories. Even though the Houthis continue to surprise everyone with their tenacity, bravery, their unabashed loyalty to the Palestinians, and their willingness to go toe to toe with the military might of Israel, the UK, and the US, it has been a stretch to believe they possess the technical expertise to develop hypersonic missiles without outside help. Once they launch the missile towards Tel Aviv though, it really doesn’t matter whether they made it themselves or got it from an ally. It looks like Xi might be sufficiently disgusted with the genocide in Gaza to be willing to back the Ansar Allah (Houthis). There’s a verse in the Bible prophecy in Revelation that mentions something happening to the Euphrates River to cause it to stop running and make it possible for the “kings of the east” (Asian countries like China?) to pass through enroute to the gathering of armies for a great battle, so it’s not inconceivable – in fact it’s quite likely – that China will get involved. It will be a big event, and I believe all the world powers will eventually get involved. Two hundred million of the armies will be killed. That’s a lot of soldiers!
When the big battle happens, it’s going to be the greatest loss in all of history for humanity, but it will also be the seminal point in which we can begin to look for the long-awaited return of our Lord Jesus. At some point either prior to or during that consummate battle, people whose riches are tied up in arms manufacturing will reach that point where they realize their wealth can do them no good in a world that has been, or will be completely destroyed. When that reality hits home, their own panic will ensue, but until that time, they will cheer on the war and destruction. So enjoy your Raytheon, Lockheed, Boeing, et.al. profits while they last. These stockholders will vote for AIPAC sponsored, warmongering politicians in their headlong rush to satisfy Satan, and ever pursue the blood of (non-wealthy) humankind, and meanwhile, the soon-to-be pointless money will continue to pour in, but in the end, Wall Street will not avail them.
If you are currently under the spell of Zionist-supporting evangelists, this post is for you. If you have not yet considered looking into the gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ, this post is likewise for you. For reasons of His own, God has blessed this site with a readership that extends into many other nations, so as far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t matter if you are a banker, a butcher, a baker, a candlestick maker or a crew member on a ship. If you are a rickshaw driver in Mumbai, a shopkeeper in Haifa, or a tent maker in a Cairo suburb, or a fisherman in Madagascar, remember the Kingdom of Jesus Christ is a big tent and you are warmly welcomed into His fold. By all means, get right with the Lord before the bottom falls out of this world we live in. There are Christian ministries in every corner of the world, find one and join it. Learn about Jesus, you’ll be eternally glad you did.
Don’t believe everything they say – a key point to look for is whether they support the ministry of Christ and His teachings, if they do not, they are headed in the wrong direction, do not give them the time of day – no matter how much money they have or represent. Also be wary of those who try to hide their deceit behind false claims of serving Christ. He said, [John 14:6], “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Pay attention to what He said – He did not say “A Truth”, He said “The Truth” – there is only one.
May the blessings of God the Father find and keep us until that Day.
What a morning here in the Ozarks! It was really foggy out – almost spooky – with a slight tinge of frost interspersed on the twigs and what’s left of the leaves with water droplets left over from the drenching rain we got yesterday. Started cooling off about daylight and the temperature flirted with freezing until the sun broke out and burned off the mist. I try and get pictures on mornings like this because icy fog makes for some interesting vistas, but considering the state of our world, this morning’s fog just serves to accentuate the dismal mood.
The old pine tree standing eerily in the glazed sunlight hosted some birds singing what sounded like dirges in the fog. Who knows, creatures other than us humans might understand the upheavals this old world is undergoing.
All in all, I guess us folks in the Ozarks have been fortunate as far as the weather goes, because a lot of places in the world have been getting some extreme weather of late. Eastern Great Lakes, Ontario, New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio are seeing some really crazy early-season snow, Northern California and Lake Tahoe area in Nevada are still digging out from a big blizzard last week. North Carolina and the environs in that part of the country haven’t really begun to recover from the disaster that was Hurricane Helene. Overseas, a nasty cyclone they named Hidaya destroyed northern Madagascar, the poor little island of Mayotte, and blasted into eastern Africa flooding Tanzania and Kenya leaving many casualties, and several places in southeast Asia are being flooded. Spain is recovering from massive flooding on the southeast coast around Valencia, and there are just too many other places suffering from extreme weather to mention here. Besides, even though the elements have been wild, this post isn’t meant to only discuss weather. Weather only kills a fraction of the people killed by other people.
I believe and truly expect that a lot of readers share my belief that the intentional mass slaughters occurring in the world as of this writing are – and have always been – the greatest threat to our existence. It’s really a shame that humanity must claim as part of our species, people who have evolved(?) to some twisted form of imagined godliness in which they believe that it is okay (for them) to kill other human beings, but it is NOT! regardless of the excuses or justifications they try to come up with. Think about it, we have a written history – okay, partially written in some cases, going way back – of human “civilization” having been around for several thousand years, and although you’d think becoming able to coexist with each other would have been a priority through this extensive period of time, it definitely has not; even today we still witness people who inexplicably and continuously behave like savage beasts toward their fellow homo sapiens. Why? It looks like it’s because some groups of people do not believe they are human equals – others are beneath them. While the numbers of folks with this barbaric mindset are relatively minimal within the populations, some of them somehow rise to positions of power and authority, thus become able to perpetrate their venomous evil upon vast numbers of those who are undeserving of it and most people of the world who still possess some degree of moral clarity are aghast to witness it. Furthermore, I believe the creatures that float to the top invariably gain their power through deals with the devil.
I also harbor a belief that some might find crazy, but if you think it through, it might make sense. One of Satan’s biggest weapons is that he is able to cause an insidious phenomenon, at least in the hearts of his most wicked servants whereby they not only murder, but they actually become addicted to it. When men are free from accountability for killing other human beings, many of them will do it without compunction and once they start, they even seem to become dependent on some kind of high that must come with such brutality. Ted Bundy spoke of something like this by describing having a defenseless victim at knife point and thus feeling like “god” as he sensed their fear as he proceeded to murder them.
This abhorrent phenomenon of addiction to killing by creatures who rise to the top gets passed down like some kind of insidious (and contagious) disease – to their underlings. Next thing you know there are whole populations with armies who engage in the sheer evil practice of killing other humans, just for the sake of killing them. The only things that normally keep these people in line are laws and/or the threat of retribution, but for people like Bundy and Jack the Ripper, or Benjamin Netanyahu, laws aren’t even enough to dissuade them. In the grisly conditions that arise when there are no laws against murder, like what’s going on in Gaza, many otherwise normal people will readily engage in it. Have you noticed how they cling to the defense of the genocide going on in Gaza as being a “war”? The very fact that they bother to try and defend it shows they know it’s wrong. They know it’s wrong, but they also know they won’t be held accountable – at least in this life.
Interestingly enough though, there are some who simply refuse to kill others, but they are surprisingly few. Most of them are called Christians, and the faithful ones behave as Jesus Christ instructed them, including such practices as praying for their adversaries. Although the enemy enjoys killing everyone, Christians are of course, Satan’s chief enemies and the bad guys always prefer killing them, but they seem to enjoy killing Arabic Islamists with just as much enthusiasm.
One result of being able to murder without retribution (and the ensuing addiction to killing) is what I suppose could be considered a “withdrawal”, or the behavior they display when they are threatened with becoming unable to kill anymore. It seems that they fly into a complete and inexplicable rage when their authority to murder is so much as challenged. Think about drug addiction denial and how the obvious addict reacts when he/she is confronted about it. Remember when people began to question Obama’s murder by drone program. If I remember correctly, the government was actually threatening to prosecute people for openly discussing on social media platforms whether or not Obama had the legal right to authorize the assassination of citizens of other countries (the conversation even included American citizens) with this covert program. The point here is, they got all twisted up about people questioning their ability to murder, thus exhibited the subsequent rage of which I’m speaking. I think most of this inexplicable outrage was precipitated from one of the chief thrones of Satan (aka CIA HQ) in Langley, Virginia. On a side note, word has it that a lot of Afghan peasants who were murdered by Obama’s drones were guilty of nothing more than just having a cell phone – which made them targetable. Don’t forget the occasion that led to a (way too brief) firestorm when it was made public that the US military defended America by slaughtering those young Afghan boys out gathering firewood.
As to the hissy fit they throw when their murderous behavior challenged, a similar angry reaction is evinced today when protesters or other people discuss whether or not the Zionist military has the right to slaughter those poor Palestinians. They simply come unglued when someone suggests that it is wrong (for them) to kill innocent people. By their rules, no one else is ever allowed to kill – just them – the ones who are doing it. It is also understood (by them) that those being killed have absolutely no right to any defense of their own, i.e. Oct 7, 2023. They get completely enraged when someone suggests they stop killing; it’s one of the craziest, and I believe least understood, aspects of this genocide. Those monsters absolutely believe they have the God-given right to shoot, torture, starve, or perpetrate whatever evil they can contrive (raping prisoners) on the Palestinians (or Lebanese or Syrians, etc.), and anyone who questions that “right” is instantly guilty of the most offensive and extreme heresy – antisemitism – they go off displaying a berserk volcanic rage similar to that evoked by anyone questioning their version of their ancestors’ misfortune during WWII.
When the question of impunity for murder (by Zionists) is breached, those who support this genocide, be it the actors themselves, or the evil entities that lurk in the Rayburn Building or simply anyone on the offending nation supporters’ (AIPAC) payroll – are programmed to attack anyone, regardless of position or nationality, with that inexplicable and guttural viciousness unheard of anywhere this side of hell. They even put this irrational behavior on full display in the United Nations assemblies for the world to see. Simply put, the servants of Satan have an unquenchable desire to end the earthly lives of other human beings and vociferously object when someone insinuates they do not have this right. The victims don’t even have to be their enemies – in one instance, they intentionally shot their own soldiers who had escaped from resistance captors and were unclothed, showing they had no weapons. Indeed, they were even yelling in Hebrew for help, but the murder addicts behind the scopes had already filled their needles and were salivating at the opportunity to relish the coveted fix – one that comes from ending human life – and bedamned if they were friendlies. They constantly bomb areas where they know their own hostages are kept; they practice their despicable Hannibal doctrine, ostensibly to prevent their enemies from having captives with which they might gain negotiating traction (as if that might be a reasonable excuse to murder their own people). When they engage in it, they are simply taking advantage of new opportunities to kill, and again and as always, it doesn’t matter who. This “Hannibal doctrine” was created, I believe, as just another cover for killing people. When someone is at the mercy of murder addicts controlled by Satan, they die – regardless of who they are. The Zionist is allowed under the Talmud to cheat, steal, and kill the Goyim (anyone outside the “tribe”), but killing their own even goes against their own despicable tenets, so anyone can easily see that the act of killing is itself the sole objective of these monsters. They, and the Quisling politicians their bosses have bought and inserted into western governments, spout off about “self-defense”, but this broken record is becoming more and more transparent even for the most deceived of human beings, the average American, even they are beginning to see what is actually happening.
Almost everyone can agree on homicide’s addictive nature when it concerns serial murderers like Ted Bundy or John Wayne Gacy – most are willing to agree those guys were addicted to murder, but when it occurs as a state-sanctioned operation, instead of calling out this addiction for what it is, they rationalize it, never admitting it’s an addiction. Of course, the identity of the (((state))) which is doing it greatly influences the diagnosis, at least in bought-out western governments. Almost any other country’s governments would be met with swift and vicious retribution by the “civilized” world for behaving like this, but not (((this one))). Their government level perpetrators have, over time, become more deceptive, but still use arguments that are as insane as they are. It’s the best Satan can do for now and their rationalizations are of no use to sane, moral people, and this insidious behavior is doomed to suffer retribution one day.
You can count on the fact that the slaughter of innocents will end, and end suddenly – when our Savior comes back. His antagonists didn’t have much respect for a poor itinerant preacher back in the day, but when He returns this time, there are some murderers who are going to be astonished and terrified to see Him as the Son of the Almighty God in His magnificent and awe-inspiring glory.
Don’t buy into the lies they use to try and justify what they’re doing. It’s simply murder for the sake of murdering – there’s no self-defense involved – unless you consider a massive number of bullets into the body of a five-year-old girl (and thousands of other infants and young children) to be self-defense. Don’t marvel either, when you hear of the inexplicable numbers of suicides of IOF soldiers – though most of them are undoubtedly possessed by demons, the murderers themselves are human, originally created in the image of God, thus having a human psyche that is not programmed for what they are doing, and their malfeasance becomes too much of a burden on (whatever vestiges left of) their consciences. On the other hand, their kinsmen, the civilian Zionists not only condone it, but they also want it over (as in all Palestinians dead) so they can start moving into those beach-front Gaza condos (surely funded by Americans) that they expect will spring up. It would be a tempting thought that the ghosts of all those thousands of innocent women and children might forever haunt the place and render it uninhabitable, but no – the spirits of those little ones are in the care of Jesus now – no more sorrow or fear for them. And woe unto those who did them harm, for the Lord has a special place in His heart for the little ones: [Luke 18:6] But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
Regardless of multiple standing ovations by the execrable AIPAC-selected and purchased serpentine US senators and congress monsters, what is happening to the Palestinians is WRONG. When I think of that assembly, I imagine a session of demons in a huge convocation in some great hall of steam in the darkest recesses of hell with fire and brimstone smoldering all around them. They jeer and cheer insanely and mindlessly applaud as one of the chief demons of Satan delivers a concoction of the damnest lies any sane person could imagine. All intelligence and reason are abandoned as they gorge themselves on his feast of malevolent and deceitful intrigues, even though they know everything he says to them is a lie, they nevertheless consume his bile ravenously. Ironically, all of the cheering they shower upon him is a lie too. In reality, they hate him as much as they hate each other. They even hate themselves, and truth be known, I’d wager their own families hate them too. It’s what happens when you join forces with the devil – hate is all you have to offer (see any recent footage of Lindsay Graham or Tom Cotton) and all you receive. The men and women doing the cheering are overwhelmingly possessed by demons of unspeakable evil as they treasonously display their disregard for the people of the country they are tasked to represent and instead pay homage to Satan’s messenger who has altogether different interests in mind. As mentioned, they will all face the ultimate Judge one day, they and especially their esteemed speaker at that demonic session, and from what I can ascertain from the Bible, their judgement and the damnation they receive won’t be pretty.
Those of us who believe there’s a better life awaiting must hang on to Jesus – He’s all we have, but then, He’s all we need. Pray for justice and relief for those being persecuted by Satan’s minions. Know that at some point, we (believers in Jesus) will all be assailed in our turn by this same abhorrent evil, but during the worst of it, the Lord will get involved and He will show them the same mercy they show the Gazans. When it comes our turn, we need not expect they should show mercy to us, neither should we fear anything they threaten, this earthly body we have is after all, temporary. Once they take it, we will step through the ultimate door into an unimaginably joyful existence and our tormentors, the servants of Satan will be stuck with nothing but their hatred and fear and our moldering old (undoubtedly mutilated) carcasses with which to enter into the well-deserved and merciless damnation they will face.
After that, things will get better for our part. Take heart, the souls of all the martyred children are also safe now in Jesus’ keep, and with the blessings of Jesus Christ, parents will be reunited with them one day soon. We shall join them all in that glorious reunion. Most importantly, though, we will be eternally united with our blessed Savior who loves us, His children with an unfathomable love. He’s the star attraction on that Day. It’ll be so awesome we won’t even remember the torment we had to endure.
May the blessings of Jesus Christ find and keep you. Make the most of the Christmas Season, try your best to find a smile somewhere to share, and remember Him on these days we celebrate as His birthday season. Pray that He will soon intervene.
This is a reminder, not a grave – the living are not buried.
Now that the fog has burned off on this unusually warm December day, I’m going back outside and talk with Him – and meditate on a better tomorrow.

Addendum: I just watched a You Tube video wherein Senator Jeff Merkley laid into his colleagues for supporting the murder going on in Gaza. Must be a lonely feeling to have a conscience in that dark place, so kudos to him and to Oregon. South Carolina voters should see it to understand how a real American senator should act. It’s worth watching if you need to see what the US is doing to assist the genocide.
Pervasive helplessness – that seems to be what’s going on. We see injustice, evil in high places, yet we feel powerless to do anything about it. We watch leaders of nations speak out against the unspeakable atrocities of Gaza and now Lebanon and do nothing to stop it. Maybe one more sternly worded letter or one more denunciation of the IOF for bombing hospitals will serve to stop it.
Erdogan of Turkey keeps speaking out against genocide, so does Egypt’s Sisi, and Abdullah of Jordan, but when it comes down to actually doing something, anything, to help, well we just hear a bunch of empty words. The Middle East desperately needs a hero, but alas, none are to be found outside Yemen, Lebanon, and Iran. I guess Erdogan will just live in his Walter Mittyesque daydream of being the heroic sultan of an imagined new Ottoman Empire, though not lifting a finger to help those over whom he would reign.
The Zionist occupation entity has scored a lot of success lately. At least it seems like they think turning the entire world against them with their practice of mass murder is strategic success. I remember some of the WWII propaganda that was still around when I was a kid – we were still immersed in it even in the fifties and sixties. One of the things that stood out about the Nazis, in particular the SS, was one of their founding principles for membership and it went something like this: If a man cannot put a gun to the head of a young child and without mercy kill him/her, then there’s no place in the SS for him. When this was circulating back in the day, we all thought, as any human being would, that this was one of the most atrocious things we had ever heard of. That tidbit alone turned a big part of the world against the Nazis, yet we see the exact same attitudes happening in occupied Palestine with the habit of the IOF soldiers these days of killing Arab children with head shots and laughing about it. What’s the difference? When the Nazis did it, it was total horror, but when the IOF does it, it’s Israel exercising their right to “self defense”.
There’s no doubt some horrific behavior happening, but we’re not totally helpless. We have at our disposal one thing which will ultimately turn the tide of this atrocity, and it is prayer. God hears our prayers, and He will take vengeance on the perpetrators of this murder of innocents when He decides the time is right. Don’t waste your time writing letters to congressmen, they are bought-and-paid for servants of an evil regime and will do nothing to stop even the overt murder of children. Jesus Christ said it would be better for someone to have a millstone tied around their neck and thrown into the ocean than for them to face the wrath of God for harming the little children, so they have theirs coming. That will surely apply to those who support this evil from the safety of their dens of iniquities in the Rayburn and Russell buildings and the white house, et. al.
Or more precisely
No, we must take our petitions to the Almighty God at His throne where our prayers fill the heavenly censers. Above all, we must tell Him we are not a part of this evil and we do not support it, even if we live in the country where the evil comes from. The serpents who purport to run this country are doing so because there’s a lot of money to be made in the service of Satan. That, or their name might just be in a certain little Epstein book. Either way, what they are doing is treason of the highest order against America and against God. Now, I do not for one second believe that they are working against God as a result of treason to America, for I do not think God holds America any higher than He does Somalia or Greenland. He is not a respecter of persons. No, the serpents in Washington just happen to be enemies of America in addition to being enemies of God. They will answer to God in due time.
When we pray for the children of Gaza, for the innocent people who are defenseless to the onslaught of powerful bombs being dropped on their homes, we are showing our compassion for the helpless. Just because He doesn’t act according to the timetable we desire – like right now – doesn’t mean he is ignoring the situation; He most certainly is not. God has an infallible plan, one which is not restricted nor constrained to the limitations or time constraints of this world. He knows of another life, another realm, one in which those children who have been martyred in Gaza and taken out of this world, now are in the care and indescribable comfort of the Lord Jesus Christ and the angels of Heaven. We who are left here shall miss them, but we must keep in mind that they are in good hands now, never to be afraid again.
The pilots who drop those bombs on innocent civilians, as well as the snipers who murder the women and children will face a special place in hell. These are the most cowardly of all – the drone operators who slaughter people as though they are playing video games will especially answer for their atrocities. All the people up the chains of command including to the pentagon and the white house will answer to God for their support and participation. There is no justification or excuse for this evil being perpetrated on defenseless children. This includes intentional starvation and those who shut off the water.
Take whatever comfort you may: [Isaiah 41:17, 18]
“The poor and needy seek water, but there is none, Their tongues fail for thirst. I, the Lord, will hear them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. 18 I will open rivers in desolate heights, And fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, And the dry land springs of water.
God is watching. He’s watching the perpetrators of the evil of Gaza and all who support it. Bot don’t forget – He’s watching you too. How will you react to these days of iniquity? Pray without ceasing.
Wow! How clever they are! Their “intelligence” people developed a way to put explosives into cell phones and pagers that killed and injured a lot of mostly innocent people and managed to turn even more of the world against them without accomplishing anything significant towards advancing their cause(s). They have only one ally in the whole world, and it would be a safe bet that a growing majority of the population of that country, the US, are coming to realize and resent what their government is doing in this scheme of murder and criminality. The evil being supported by the US today is also working to give citizens reason to reflect on past odious behaviors of the US – American Indian genocide, Hiroshima, Dresden, Vietnam, Afghanistan – we have rarely been the good guys we were always led to believe we were. It’s turning out we are not the least bit happy about it, especially since it involves the wholesale slaughter of innocent people, of children who just want to play in their homes in safety – slaughtered by bloodthirsty savages with American bombs.
The pager murders only killed a few dozen people, and a plausible case can be made that few or none of them were enemies of the Zionist occupiers – at least enemies who may have been some kind of strategic threat to the IDF or citizenry of the occupation. If I’m a general or commander of resistance forces and some idiocy like this happens, I wipe the sweat off my brow with relief, because now I understand the “threat’ of the occupying forces’ “intelligence” is of much less concern than I’d feared because they spent a lot of their “genius” and resources for quite some time devising silly fireworks to try and scare people and produced no threat of any significance to my forces. In fact, I’m dumbfounded that these “invincible” enemies with unlimited resources would spend all that time and money on terroristic foolishness when there’s a conflict coming (that they started, the “started Oct 7” nonsense is unadulterated propaganda). Now I’m certainly not making light of the casualties nor the injuries that people sustained from the exploding devices, but in the grand scheme of wartime conflict, this idiocy accomplished nothing but making the vaunted IDF more enemies. Most of all, the leaders of the resistance can take some comfort that this “intelligence” isn’t all that intelligent after all. Sure, they got a lot of attention from all over the world, but attention doesn’t win wars, and stupidity surely doesn’t.
Somewhere along the way, the notion that making people fear your army was somehow a winning strategy became vogue. Shock value became a desirable method of accomplishing this and that’s just plain stupid. When the world found out that GITMO and Abu Ghraib torture was happening, it certainly shocked everyone, but it didn’t do our military guys any favors, because if you think about it, in a battle when the enemy is on the ropes and ready to throw in the towel, if he has reason to believe he’ll be treated decently as a POW (don’t even start with that “enemy combatant” nonsense) it stands to reason he’d be willing to surrender more readily. Take that same situation where the enemy soldier has reason to believe he’ll be tortured when he gives up and chances are he’ll fight to the death, thus killing more of your soldiers. Just plain stupidity and I don’t care if some cognitively challenged demons with stars on their lapels graduated from West Point (with honors) allowed this madness to happen, they should be castigated – whatever form that might take. It also makes you more enemies and gains you the enmity of more of the world – look at the success of BRICS today vs. the decline of the west.
Our genius politicians who were apparently all born yesterday look around at the tatters of the US flag, the tatters of the US reputation – and have the temerity to wonder why in the world everyone hates us. Think GITMO, Petraeus. Think Abu Ghraib and European black sites, Pompeo. A respectable General like Lee or Patton would have y’all up before a court martial for getting their troops killed because of torturing enemy soldiers.
The obvious madness behind all of this nonsense is that it is what the great deceiver, Satan wants them to do. When seen through that lens, it’s easier to see why the smarter guys with morals and honor have all resigned from our military. None, except possibly a small handful of representatives, are to be found in the US political crowd either. This exit of people of conscience (Josh Paul comes to mind) is also happening in the Zionist occupation forces. Only the most ignorant, least honorable, enemies of humanity hang with entities who practice such Cheney/Rumsfeld travesties as torturing and murdering civilians. This applies to our congressional leaders, presidents, presidential wanna be’s, and certainly to the IDF political and military leaders.
How they cry and moan when someone shoots back at them, for their specialty is murdering those who are weaponless, defenseless, hopeless. Onward they bravely march with rigged up pagers, thousand-pound American bombs, broomsticks with which to torture their captives, and loudly call on all through such benevolent mouthpieces as Ryder, Miller, Kirby, Sullivan, et. al. to all the resistance guys to please don’t shoot back at them when they murder your children, for that would be “escalation”. Note that it’s not escalation when the Zionists assassinate, trigger communications devices, carpet bomb Gaza and/or the West Bank, but when someone reacts to such barbarity by trying to defend themselves, it magically then becomes “escalation.” Note how it only becomes escalation when the resistance shoots back.
The servants of evil have had a long time to screw up the world as it is now, and only Jesus Christ will be able to sort it out when He returns. Satan has started playing his high cards for the world to see, and when you can see his behavior this plainly, see all of these servants falling in line for him, you should also be able to understand how powerless we, as humans, are to stop him – only Jesus is able to do what has to be done, we just need to make sure we are on the right side of things, Jesus’ side, when He appears and you can rest assured He’ll be bringing justice with Him. This thing can be, and will be won by the forces of good, but only by the army of Jesus Christ. I’m serious, folks – we all must get right with Jesus asap. There is no other way.
John 14:6 – Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
May the blessings of the Almighty and Merciful God find and keep us all in these troubled times.
The flanking maneuver is a time-tested technique on the battlefield. It has been successfully employed in many battles and if properly executed with ample surprise, is very effective in warfare. The surprise and deception of such a maneuver contributes immensely to its effectiveness. When an enemy is focused on an aspect of the battle, especially caught up in a head-on battlefront, he can be susceptible to defeat by surprise from unexpected directions and/or from undefended areas such as the flanks, or ends, of his columns. We can get so caught up in our abhorrence of in-your-face evil, we can get distracted from unexpected tactics, and our tendency to allow our anger to become hate is one that leaves us open to an insidious defeat if we aren’t careful.
The enemy has been around for a long, long time. He is wiser than us, but not wiser than our Master. Those who do not know or care to know the Creator, are destined to be a type of pawn of the enemy, even though they may consider themselves to be good, upright people. The enemy knows well that if people reject Jesus Christ that he already has a certain amount of control over them, it’s just a matter of how much of a toll he wants to exact on them in the meanwhile and creating situations that foment hatred in decent people is just one of the many ways he does battle. As far as Christians are concerned, one of our less defended areas may be our control, or lack thereof, of our anger.
For instance, we all see what’s going on in Gaza, and most of us rightfully are disgusted by the murder of innocent people. Now the kind of people who support the genocide going on over there are already in Satan’s firm control, so that’s a whole nuther issue, but this post addresses folks who are repulsed by it. The problem comes in for us when we allow ourselves to hate these people doing the murder who are so completely under the control of the enemy. That’s his plan – to use his servants to perform evil, but equally as important, to invoke hatred from onlookers, because even though we are totally against what they are doing, we fall into his trap by hating them for it. When that happens, he wins on both sides of the battle, he controls those who commit murder, and when otherwise good people see the gross injustice and unmerciful treatment and allow hatred into their hearts, he has them where he wants them as well. That’s why Jesus admonishes us to love our enemies, to prevent us from falling victim to Satan by allowing hatred into our hearts. This may well be one of the most difficult things to avoid, even for good people.
Satan has complete control of many very wealthy people here in our country, who in turn have gained control of the leadership through bribery and extortion with the riches Satan has entrusted to them. These “elite” servants of Satan are the same ones who own all of our media organizations. They also own Hollywood and have tremendous influence over the content of entertainment, thus are able to influence many who are unaware of the power that entertainment has over their world views. When people see filth and violence, they tend to believe that because so many people are entertained by such, it must be ok. Of course, the wealthy do not see themselves as such, but in the grand scheme, they are no more than simple pawns for Satan to use as he sees fit – and destroy when the time is right. Animosity towards them is growing steadily as more and more citizens come to realize the degree to which they are manipulated and propagandized. For now, suffice it to say, the wealthy elites mentioned here generally support the genocide of the Palestinians, so their influence over our politicians tends to make them support what’s going on as well.
These same wealthy people completely own all but a precious and exemplary few members of our government and its institutions, especially including the military. They decide who gets to run for president, and it’s well known by now that no one can become president of the United States without showing proper fealty to them. There are required demonstrations of obeisance for a presidential candidate in the US nowadays and we’ve seen them. The same fealty demonstrated through various other rituals, is to be expected from legislators and from the benches of this country as well.
It looks as though Satan’s plan is to allow some light to shine on these individuals so that everyone sees who’s behind the evil that is apace in our country and the world. A lot of this has been practiced behind the curtain up to now, but normal citizens, including Christians who let their guard down, are starting to see who’s behind the rampant evil. That in itself is a good thing, but the enemy intends to use that knowledge to our destruction by causing us to hate these people. His wealthy servants? Sure, they don’t give it any thought, but he’ll drop them like a hot potato when it suits his purpose even though they are smug for now in the deception of their master’s loyalty. A perfect example is the French revolution and what happened to the elites of that day. The revolution itself may have been successful, but the devil won out when Louis and Marie were executed, because that resulted from the hatred he fomented and the ensuing sinful violence it caused among the French peasantry.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that as Christians we have to be careful to stay above the fray and not allow ourselves to be sucked into the maelstrom of hatred and violence that is bound to happen as the servants of evil are revealed. When we do that, we unintentionally do the bidding of the evil one and allow him to win a carefully conceived battle he planned out long ago and is once again setting up right now. We can certainly – and have a Christian duty to – disapprove of the evil that is going on, but we have to do it without falling into the trap of allowing hatred into our hearts, because when that happens, he wins both ways. Even though I firmly believe that Heaven will be an expansive place, nevertheless, there won’t be any room for hatred there.
Hate the sin but love the sinner. Pray for them – all of them, the oppressed, but just as importantly, the oppressors. It’s hard to do, but we have to give it our best shot, and with Jesus’ help we can prevail.
May God’s blessings find and keep us all in these trying times.
Today is Saturday, August 3, in the year of our Lord 2024 and things are shaping up to get really ugly in the Middle East – likely the whole world – as I write this post. The status of the world, though shocking to many, does not come as a surprise to Christians. We’ve long read about world events that are to come upon us in our Bibles. We know about most of the things that will take place because we believe the God-given prophecies of guys like Daniel, Ezekiel, and John, and if you haven’t read up on the things that are predicted, you should so you can get ready – it’s going to be quite the ride!
When you decide to start checking into the events that are happening and are yet to happen you will undoubtedly encounter the undercurrent of it all which is the ongoing battle between the forces of good and evil – between God the Creator and His enemy Satan. There are way too many aspects of this enigmatic confrontation for any human still in the flesh to be able to comprehend. We cannot begin to enumerate nor understand all of the issues and their effects even though a lot of people, especially the charlatans that try to pass themselves off as preachers, would have you to believe they are able to. Suffice it to say there is an incomprehensible spiritual battle happening and like it or not, all of us – even those on this side of the void – are involved. We have to choose a side, and unfortunately most of humanity has already done so although many do not even realize they have. That’s where studying your Bible comes in.
Ignoring the words and the person of Jesus Christ is the same as opposing Him. Jesus Christ is the only Way we have out of this mess that the servants of evil have made of the world. There are many who claim to know how to confront Satan and his minions, but Jesus said that He is the ONLY way we can succeed, [John 14:6] “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no one comes to the Father but through me.” There are many people who try to reach God, but if we believe Jesus is truthful, we must recognize His authority as the Son of God and follow Him to get where we need to go. Once we submit our hope to Him, we begin a journey that will lead us to an unimaginably joyful and indescribable victory. It will be the ultimate victory over the evil that today plagues this world, and in the end all of those servants of evil who seem to be so invincible now will actually be the servants of Jesus’ followers. According to this doctrine, Netanyahu, Dick Cheney, Jacob Rothschild and all of the evil figures who have seemed to be so untouchable, will be bowed at the feet of those who are for now, humble and innocent travelers, those who trust Jesus to bring justice upon all who practice iniquity today, for the servants of Jesus will inherit kingship in the reign of Christ.
Imagine the shock and disappointment of those who would control the world today when they discover their whole earthly existences were no more than that of the grass of the field, and when they get to the Great Day of God’s judgement and see their master groveling before the True King. Those who wield the great swords of war, the dark and powerful weaponry that destroys nations, will be struck with fear and awe at the inimitable power of the real King when He appears in His unimaginable glory. In that moment they will realize the futility of their former allegiance to Satan, his wealth, his earthly control. If they had the mind to do so, they could look through those powerful telescopes and see great stars exploding, destroying everything in the millions of miles of space all around – that’s only a sample of the kind of power the Lord has. Their servitude to the evil one will all mean nothing, but those of us who have been faithful to our Lord Jesus will attain kingship and share His inheritance of all things.
Just in case you haven’t noticed the world powers coalescing around the middle east and the open and unabashed slaughter of all those innocent people in Palestine, the warships congregating, and all the other portents of destruction and annihilation gathering like some dark cloud, you might want to open your eyes before it’s too late. It’s going to get really ugly, but when it’s all over, those who will be left standing will be our King Jesus Christ and His followers – and ONLY them. Everything He said would happen has either already happened or is happening now – that should be all the evidence we need to understand the Truth of what He says. Get on the right side of things before it’s too late. The clouds are rapidly closing in…
I guess the whole world has to be destroyed. People don’t seem to care about it anymore, and that’s a shame. God created something wonderful here, and people only think of it in terms of how they can profit from it – or destroy it. It looks like Satan’s plan is to completely eradicate everything God made, and by using greedy and immoral people to do his bidding, it looks like he’s getting it done.
I cannot tell whether or not the ongoing demise of things natural are a result of abuse or neglect by mankind, but I suspect it is, at least to some degree; certainly, the shredded forests on the Ukrainian battlefields testify to the extent to which they are able that mankind’s aggressive behavior tends to create havoc for the environment. It’s a sad thing to see, those big old innocent trees with all their leaves and branches blown off and gnarled, sad boughs looking like some kind of perverted chipping machine ripped through them. Did you ever wonder how many birds and squirrels die from bomb and artillery blasts? How about fish and sea creatures when a big underwater explosion happens? I didn’t think so. They call it collateral damage, but it’s sad – and totally avoidable, nevertheless. There are vast swathes of the planet that are polluted with depleted uranium, poisons from defoliants, and radiation. The burning brush land of Galilee is especially heart-wrenching to me because Jesus Himself lived in that part of the world, and now we watch – and He watches – as the countryside of what was once His earthly home is ravaged by fires of war. All these losses are unnecessary, but the human beings that are slaughtered by such malign offenses are the saddest of all.

When the hell that is war visits a city, or a nation, everything that transpires until it is over can rightfully be seen as tribute being paid to Satan. He is at the pinnacle of his power when human beings, once created in the image of God, are killing each other in mass numbers. The Bible tells us his time here on earth is short, so he creates as much havoc as he possibly can for the short time in which he has control, and I believe war is one of his primary objectives among men. Of course, his main focus is the destruction of the true Church of Jesus Christ, for when believers come to be without hope, without love, he wins.

For some ridiculously inexplicable reason, there are people, many people, who are able to convince themselves that there is some imaginary limit to the evil that can be perpetrated, but don’t believe that for a second. For instance, when discussing the possible involvement of the government in the 9/11 debacle, some folks argue that our government wouldn’t do something that malevolent – the event was just too evil. A lot of these same people seem to recognize that Satan holds the reins of power of our government, so how evil is too evil for them? Nothing, no sin or evil deed that could be committed or even imagined in all of creation is too evil for Satan. Whether or not the government was involved in 9/11 will one day be determined, but if it turns out that they were not (which I highly doubt), it won’t be because it was too evil of a deed for them. Once leaders of nations have signed on to serve the devil, nothing is too evil for them. It is preposterous to believe otherwise.

It’s a horrible sin to kill people, especially innocent people, a sin of which many world leaders are guilty, and one aspect of that, the ramifications of which do not seem to occur to a lot of folks is that when someone throws a war, innocent people always die. That happens because wars are designed by Satan, and he always goes after the innocent. In the Nuremburg tribunal at the conclusion of WWII, the concept was established that whenever a country engages in a war of aggression, the leader(s) of that country are guilty of all of the war crimes that are committed in that war, including the deaths of civilians, and to a reasonable person that would seem to be a fair judgement. If God uses that measure, then there are a lot of past and present leaders – especially in the 20th and 21st century west – who will have much for which to answer.
An extremely important aspect of all of this – at least for believers who profess to be Christians, is the involvement and/or the support of the “church” in the malign activities of some world governments. I just read a post that expressed how many “Christian Zionists” are at large in this country, and the number is staggering – in the tens, possibly hundreds of millions. This fact alone proves without question what Jesus said about the gate being wide that leads to destruction. It also proves that very few of these “Christians” read their Bibles. These people are the ones who are making the slaughter of innocent people in Gaza possible. If the mega-churches in the United States were to stop supporting the evil – certainly unChristian – mass-murder of innocent women and children and publicly proclaim that position, it would stop quickly. You see, the politicians in DC support the Zionist regime because of the vast number of voters who support it (not to mention the vast sums of money that come their way). A big chunk of those voters are avowed Zionists who haunt the mega-churches, so the occupation regime gets unlimited support – mostly in the form of weapons and money. In turn, the church leaders get millions of shekels and dollars, so what’s not to like? Incredibly, these folks seem to actually believe there is even such a thing as a Christian Zionist, or Judeo Christian. There ain’t. But then, Judas sold Jesus out too, for 30 pieces of silver which must have been a handsome reward for the greatest treason in human history which, by the adherence of mega-churches to these irresponsible doctrines, is reappearing in spades.

Folks who have read the Bible understand that there have been times past when people turned away from God and the results were always horrible for them. In Noah’s day, the world was flooded and only he and his family were saved. The cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were utterly turned to ashes. The followers of Moses turned away from God and were abandoned by God to die in the wilderness. We are at another pivotal time in human history in which the vast majority of people have turned away from Him, so what can we expect? People have become evil, vile, greedy, theft and immorality abound in every form. There is no love to be found, with the exception of Christian believers who choose the narrow gate to the Kingdom. What can we expect indeed?
There are passages in the book of Revelation that describe, as well as can be elucidated by a first-century prophet, some awesome things that are about to happen. They speak of the fearsome wrath of an angry God who hears the prayers of His people seeking deliverance from the evil that permeates this world. There is no way this writer could begin to describe the horrific fear and dread that will overcome the hearts of all peoples of the earth who have denied the Son of God. It will be an unimaginable fear that people will feel in their bones, and it will not go away – God will wreak terrible vengeance on all who have shunned and turned away from Him, from His beloved Son who was sacrificed for them. The heavens will tremble, the earth will shake, horrific fire will come down from the sky, and the much-adored leaders of men, mighty men, generals, celebrities, and all those who have been wealthy in this life – will be trying to find holes in the ground to hide from His face, but that won’t happen. When all of this happens, the poor, the peacemakers, and all other true followers of Jesus, His sheep, will not be afraid, they will rejoice to see their beloved King and friend – which side of this do you choose to end up on?
