Perils of Serving the Wrong Master – Here and Beyond

Jerusalem burns, flames fanned by high winds. Southern Israel experiences a huge sandstorm blown in from one of the many Mediterranean area deserts. Although the (mostly European descended) people who have moved into the Holy Land are not indigenous to the area, they have arrogated to themselves the identity of those who do have legitimate claim. They seem to be hell-bent on destroying the last of the true semitic peoples, the Palestinians, in Israel.

The once upstanding United States has become the number one supporter in the genocide being perpetrated on the Gazans, and by doing so, has become possibly the most hated nation on earth. Trump has ordered US military forces to attack the Houthis, the only country in the world that can be seen as heroic in their efforts to help the intensely suffering Gazans, although the Hezbollah group in Lebanon put up a valiant effort for a while, before a multinational coalition put an end to Syria as the world knew it. Lebanon got a president installed who looks to be pro-western, i.e., easily bought – so Hezbollah is in a precarious situation for now. The Houthis continue unabated despite heavy bombardment from what appears to be a hopelessly incompetent Trump led military. For Netanyahu – anagram of Yemen – enemy!

All in all, it looks like a pretty dismal situation for people who prefer peace and especially for folks who hate to see the starving children of Gaza. A flotilla of intended aid for the Gazans was attacked by Israeli drones en route similar to how Israel blocked the Turkish aid boat Mavi Marmara in 2010, but that time they actually boarded a boat and killed some people. Erdogan bloviated as usual, but did not respond effectively, also as usual.

The world sees the evil of the Gaza genocide for what it is, but when decent folks call it out, the perps don’t seem to mind, in fact if I didn’t know better, I’d swear they enjoy the publicity – they LIKE being regarded as evil. When someone likens Benjamin Netanyahu to Satan, he takes it as a compliment, like his boss (Satan) will be proud of him for being seen as Satanic. Jesus said these people who call themselves Jews but art not, are a synagogue of Satan and they seem to know it. There’s a video I happened to see a few days ago about an incident some time ago after the Zionists burned a little 18-month-old boy alive and word got out about it and the civilized world were shocked by it’s repugnance, wherein the Zionists, to demonstrate their arrogance, threw a big party and were dancing joyfully with sign posters of pictures of the little boy and celebrating that evil act – and videoing it! That was something you might expect to see in some burning corner of hell with demons dancing and shouting to celebrate an unimaginably horrid evil event. And there it was for all the world to see – the kind of evil these people perpetrate on the world, and we send them bombs.

There are also places in the pits of hell reserved for Joe Biden and Donald trump which they have earned themselves by supplying support for genocide, but there are so many others – John Hagee, Mike Huckabee (at one time I thought he was a respectable Christian person – boy was I wrong!), almost the entire US Congress and Senate, the vile Supreme Court – especially the vile Roberts who was appointed by the equally vile George Bush. Bush supported Israel by launching the murderous Iraq war. Anyone who even remotely supports Israel in its headlong rush to hell killing so many innocent people will find themselves on the wrong side of things when they face judgement. The witch Madeline Albright may already be roasting, but there are other witches equally culpable – Nikky Haley, Victoria Nuland and Hillary Clinton come to mind.

At some point I would not be surprised if this crowd will finally just openly declare their support for Satan and I also won’t be surprised to see congregations of megachurches following along. They already do in reality, but there might still be a few well-meaning but deceived members who actually believe they are following the Christian Way who will finally see guys like Hagee, Osteen, and Copeland and so many more for who they really are, but for the life of me I don’t understand how these folks are allowing themselves to be so thoroughly deceived already. Maybe they should read their own Bibles instead of letting frauds like Hagee tell them what it says.

I follow some video channels where they speak of earthquakes and volcanoes on the increase. Some predict a huge solar event that will wreak havoc on life here on earth. We are continuing to stare down the barrel of a nuclear conflagration with no one (except maybe Vladimir Putin) trying to avoid it. Weather events of late have grown intense almost everywhere – rainstorms unlike anything the world has ever seen, tornadoes everywhere, even in places that don’t normally see them, floods all over the world are commonplace, a huge power outage in Europe completely shutting down whole countries, and we don’t seem to be able (or willing) to connect the dots to God’s displeasure at the growing evil in the world. These events are merely the beginning of sorrows – things will get much worse.

There’s a Way to deal with the impending disaster the world is facing. It’s found in the Bible and His name is Jesus Christ. He told us the road would get bumpy at the end and the evil of the world is the specific cause. The angels are already pouring out those bowls of disaster for humanity. We endured the Covid (and inoculation) scam, but that was just a sample of the plagues that loom. Our precious leaders have other depredations cooking in their biolabs and are just waiting for the orders to unleash them and I think they’re going to be much worse, much, much worse, than Covid.

All in all and according to prophecy, we haven’t seen anything yet. If I read Revelation 18 correctly, some country is about to get destroyed by a nuclear attack – I think it will be the US, although there is ample room to interpret that modern Babylon to be London or even Israel, but I think Israel has a big part to play in the very end, so it would be less apt to be the place leveled in Rev 18 – at least the way I read it. Besides, I once heard a preacher say that if God doesn’t destroy the US for its evil ways, then He owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology – and I really believe the United States’ days are numbered. There has never been such a powerful and decadent place in the world, not even in ancient Rome or Athens.

Get out your Bible and read it – live by what it says, our time here is growing short. Stop chasing after wealth; when the end gets here, you’ll see the futility of it – all the riches of Elon Musk, George Soros, and the Zionist billionaires who run the world today will not avail them – in fact it will testify against them – you’ll see. Learn about Jesus Christ – store up your treasure in His Kingdom where it will be safe until we get there. Treasures such as help for the poor, loving our neighbors, a helping hand to an indigent old person – all these things can be considered to be deposits in the account that matters.

We have reached a point in history where we can no longer look to our leadership for guidance, nor can we rely on their wisdom and judgement – they are all in it for the money and power. They no longer look out for the interests of their countries, the only thing that matters to them, the only thing that guides their decision-making, is how much wealth they can gain by what they do. Remember the passage in the Bible when Satan tempted Jesus and offered Him all the wealth and power? Jesus turned Saan down, but there are a lot of rich guys in the world today who took the devil up on the same offer – now they must pay their debt to him – with the blood of innocent people and especially Christians. Hang on folks, it’s about to get crazy for believers.

May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.

Finally! How to Fight A War Worth Fighting

If you have to engage an enemy in battle, some of the most important things you need to know are what kinds of weapons he has in his arsenal, how and when he intends to use them, and maybe the most critical, how you must defend against each weapon.

The battle of which I speak is, of course, that battle for your soul, and you can trust that the cunning enemy is willing to use everything in his power to defeat you.

It’s snowing here in this neck of the Ozarks this morning, and though I’m an old geezer now, I’m still as excited to see a beautiful snowfall as that kid back in rural East Texas long ago. Of course, we rarely got snow down there, so it was a special treat.

God is amazing at creating silent beauty

After a few days on the ground, the ice and the magic dissipate and we invariably look forward to some thawing out, but for now the dogs are playing excitedly, crows are partying and it’s nice. Now I suppose you’re wondering how this post is trying to connect a snowfall event with the spiritual war in which we are engaged, and by geriatric logic it’s sort of simple – since we have inclement weather and are pretty much stuck inside, the need to write a post on this topic has been on my mind, so today’s snow event has provided a perfect time for it.

The Apostle Paul does a discourse in his epistle to the Ephesians on the subject of spiritual warfare in which he points out the things God provides to His army – the people who have chosen to join with Jesus. His army is comprised of all volunteers, so we are spared the indignity of forced conscription – we’ve all seen videos of the Ukranian Nazi “recruiters” dragging those poor kids (and old men) into the vans to send them to die. Fortunately for us, God doesn’t need anyone to help Him to defeat the enemy, and He allows for our voluntary submission to – and faith in – Jesus Christ to be the only requirements to join His ranks. Where the Ukraine purpose seems to only be servitude to Satan by fomenting as much death and destruction as possible, the army the Lord calls us to join is the Way to victory over death. We are issued Spiritual defensive weapons which we wield to stave off the attacks of the enemy, and one offensive weapon with which we can both beat back his threats and attacks as well as invade his army.

[Ephesians 6:11]: “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” This armor of which the Apostle Paul speaks is critical and necessary because [Eph 6:12]: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Wow! In order to get some idea of what we, as believers in Jesus are up against, cogitate on that one for a while! We indeed have a powerful host of enemies arrayed against us and we must not underestimate them.

With all the violence, the wars, and the rage in the physical world today, the Word tells us that there is also a more critical war in the spiritual realm, and since the powerful enemy exists there, believers must acknowledge that we are in for a struggle, and it would even seem hopeless but for the power of God and the armor which we have at our disposal. The apostle describes all of it and it’s purpose, and it all comes from the Word of God. [Ephesians 6:14-17]: “Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God…” “Gird your waist with truth,” and where do we obtain truth? Jesus said [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.” There is no other source of truth we can rely on but Jesus Christ! As for the breastplate of righteousness, Abraham was one of the greatest examples: [Genesis 15:6]: “And he believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.” So, true belief in the Lord (which entails belief in His mighty power) is the main requirement. This breastplate is closely related to the “shield of faith”, which is another crucial defensive weapon [Hebrews 11:6]:” But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” So, we are also able, with this piece of the armor, faith, to defend ourselves but only when we believe in God and His power.

“Having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace”, but how do we accomplish this? The gospel of peace is the gospel of the Prince of peace. The gospel is to be found predominately in the four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, but is alluded to throughout the Bible in both the old and new testaments. We must diligently study and “abide in His word” [John 8:31] to be able to wield this piece of the armor.

And what is our offensive weapon? It’s the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. The weapons and attire that the apostle enumerates in his passage are all defensive in nature to thwart the effect of the enemy’s weapons except this one, we have the Word of God, which is Jesus Christ and with whose power we can help others to find salvation – the perfect foray into the ranks of the enemy. [John 1:14]: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” With this mighty sword, we are able to attack the enemy and much to his chagrin, help to conscript the lost into Jesus’ mighty army.

Are you ready to don this weaponry and fight for Jesus in the Spiritual war? It’s the one war that counts. When it is over and the battle is won, His army is guaranteed to be victorious, and His soldiers will have an eternal mansion where He is – where He and His servants will be forever: [John 14:2,3]: “In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” When He left, He wasn’t just leaving for no reason – He had something important to do. Just imagine; a mansion built by Jesus for me! I’m in! Amen!

And still the beautiful snow from Heaven flies…

May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us all.
