A few months ago, "experts" predicted the North Koreans were four years away from building an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) capable of striking the U.S. mainland.

 

On July 4, North Korea tested an ICBM that could reach Alaska or Hawaii, but not the mainland USA.

 

There was some concern among the national security experts, but not alarm. After all, it was only Alaska and Hawaii. And maybe Seattle and Portland. And still three or four years to go before the mainland was truly at risk.

 

24 days later, the North Koreans tested another ICBM. The concern has now become discomfort, perhaps approaching alarm.

 

Why?

 

Because this time, the North Korean test missile traveled 2,300 miles into space before returning to earth some 600 miles from its launch point. For those who know how to extrapolate range projections from this type of information, the concern is palpable.

 

The experts now say that the new test indicates a range of about 6,500 miles for a future North Korean ICBM -- one that would presumably be carrying a nuclear warhead.

 

That easily puts Los Angeles, Denver, and Chicago within Kim Jung-un's reach.

 

And at this rate of progress, the next test might prove that Boston, New York, and Washington, D.C. are within his range, too.

 

Now, that truly is a cause for alarm.

 

But, unfortunately, it's not America's greatest threat. Neither is the debt crisis, the drug epidemic, the rising cost of healthcare, man-made climate change, Islamic terrorism, or transgender bathrooms. America's greatest threat isn't even the Beltway Swamp we know as Washington.

 

The extreme dysfunction in our nation's capital is merely a symptom of the real problem.

 

The most dangerous threat facing our nation is us! We, the people.

 

You see, government "of the people" means it's a reflection of those people.

 

America is suffering from a disease of the heart. It causes, among other things, severe division and unreasoning anger.

 

The United States of America is more divided now than at any time since the Civil War. And like the days leading up to that horrible time, the threat of violence never seems far away.

 

I'm sure you recall the recent shooting of Rep. Steve Scalise and three others at a Republican team practice for a charity baseball game. Now, prominent voices on the Left are calling for an escalation of the "expression of our outrage" against any government official who supports President Trump or his agenda.

 

I'm sure, too, that you recall the many protests and riots that accompanied President Trump's inauguration. And the entertainment celebrities who have made disgusting, murderous comments, threats, and suggestions about the President.

 

Now, Politico has gone on record calling Portland, Oregon, "...America's most politically violent city...." Portland is being torn apart by the violence of Leftist groups who are vowing to protect Portland from violence. Yes, you read that correctly.

 

"Antifa" is shorthand for 'anti-fascist.' But, trust me, it's a cynical misnomer. In Portland, antifa groups are threatening violence against anyone whom they deem "fascist." Mostly, that includes any conservative group or organization.

 

Here's an example of Rose City Antifa's determination to protect Portland. By threatening violence against the organizers, participants, and spectators, it recently forced the cancellation of a traditional parade called "The 82nd Avenue Parade of Roses." (Sounds ominous, doesn't it?)

 

The reason for the "anti-fascists'" concern? The parade's organizers had approved the inclusion of a floral float sponsored by Republicans.

 

Don't bother upping the prescription for your reading glasses. You read it right. A floral float sponsored by Republicans forced Rose City Antifa to threaten violence to protect Portland's hapless residents from horrible violence! Horrible horticultural violence, I suppose. Maybe horrible floral violence? Who knows!

 

Folks, I'm not making this stuff up! It's not just ironic, it's moronic!

 

Those who deceivingly claim their purpose is to stop "fascism" are actually the fascists!

 

While those on the Left are ratcheting up the talk of impeachment (even hinting at assassination) of a duly-elected President, some voices on the Right are warning that they fear another actual civil war may loom on the horizon.

 

That's how splintered America is right now.

 

I believe this extreme, inexplicable rage is placing America in real peril.

 

Currently, the United States is the world's only Superpower. That's why it is alarming that Bible prophecy makes no mention of the United States as a significant player in the end-times scenario.

 

That means that between now and the beginning of the Tribulation, America must be crippled so thoroughly that it can play no part. I pray that that weakening comes as a result of the Rapture removing so many Americans from this earth, but right now, the USA is doing a very effective job of destroying itself even before the Rapture.

 

I believe America's most dangerous problem is its crumbling moral foundation. On this week's program, I will discuss with you what I believe "spiritual renewal" in America would look like.

 

I will also show you how Jesus was a man like no other before Him.

 

 

August 11th, 2017

Can you imagine a world in which you would never lose your car keys or wallet? Or have them stolen?

Can you imagine a world in which you would never have to stand in line at the grocery store? Or the airline ticket counter? Or TSA?

Can you imagine a world in which you would never have to worry about having your identity stolen when shopping online? Or your credit cards accessed by hackers?

Can you imagine a world in which you would never have to worry about filling out tax forms? Or keeping track of receipts?

Can you imagine a world in which you would never have to worry about your grandmother falling and not being able to summon help? Or a heart attack or a stroke dropping you before you could call 911?

You don't have to imagine.

That world is here.

All of these things are now possible, or will soon be possible, because of the microchip.

And the incredible convenience and safety the microchip promises will be possible because of The System.

The System will link all of the services and protections the citizens of the world could ever want or need and automatically provide them to the bearer of the microchip.

For a world that worships at the altar of "convenience," The System will be the ultimate servant.

For a world that is rapidly descending into fear, The System will be the ultimate protector.

And that is how the Antichrist and the False Prophet will get billions of people to take the Mark of the Beast.

It will promise the convenience and safety we all crave.

Does that sound like the plot line for a science-fantasy movie coming soon to your local theater? Well, it's not.

The technology to accomplish everything I have just described is already available. Granted, much of it is in the rudimentary stages, but we all know from experience that once a technology is invented, its perfection and utilization often follows at blinding speed.

What's more, the Bible prophets predicted that in the final days of this Age of Grace, knowledge (technology) would increase exponentially in both breadth and speed.

For the Mark of the Beast System to work as it must, it will require a cashless world and participation by most of its people.

Daily, the governments of the world call for the abolition of physical cash as the world's currency. They are joined by corporations, banks, intellectuals, terrorism experts, drug trafficking experts, organized crime prosecutors, and even public health officials.

And that time is closer than you may think. Today, the world's monetary structure is no longer based on gold, silver, or even boxes of paper bills stashed in the vaults of banks or national treasuries. The zeroes and ones of computer code already serve as the world's true currency.

Do you doubt that people will willingly accept a microchip implanted in their hand to receive the conveniences and safety The System will provide?

Last week in Wisconsin, a small firm offered to implant a microchip in the hand of any employee who chose to accept it. The payoff? The employee would no longer need an ID card to enter the building, a password to access the computer system, or cash or credit card to purchase items from the company break room.

None of those activities sound too taxing or inconvenient, do they? Yet almost half of the 85 employees chose to have the chip implanted in their bodies in return for the basic and very limited "convenience" it offered.

How can they refuse when the Mark of the Beast System offers lavish, almost unlimited, convenience and safety?

The Bible says they won't.

Also on this week's program, I'll discuss what Plato called in 488 BC, "the ship of state."

Right now, the United States Ship of State is leaking -- badly.

Not since the infamous "White House Plumbers" has the nation faced as critical an internal threat as it does right now because of the incessant, criminal leaking of sensitive information by individuals across our national government.

This is not the work of patriots, but traitors. The U.S. government is at war with itself. And that makes the world more dangerous for everyone.

Finally, this week I want to tell you about what I believe is the first and worst of the doctrine of demons: Legalism.

In Hebrew, the word for "Satan" means "Adversary." In his role as "god of this age," Satan conducts a relentless, well-planned strategy to blind men's minds to the truth about God and how to know Him.

One of his most effective tools is "legalism." That is, seeking to live for God by the principle of Law. It is the dent in your armor at which Satan will chip away until he has a hole big enough to drive a truck through.

Satan knows that a personal faith-walk with God is based upon the principle of "grace" instead of "law." So his goal is to slowly lead even mature believers into a sense that what was begun in faith must be perfected by the flesh. To trade "grace" for "law."

He constantly seeks to keep unbelievers away from "grace." For those who have already come to Christ, he seeks to erase "grace" from your thoughts and beliefs. Satan is perfectly happy with the believer striving to live by the "law."

Don't fall prey to the deceptions of the Adversary. Trust your salvation to the only one who can actually save you -- Jesus.
