US In Moral Freefall As Everyone Does What Is Right In Their Own Eyes - By PNW Staff -
In those days Israel had no king; all the people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes. Judges 21:25
"The consequences of rejecting God's truth are undeniable. We know that what we believe dictates how we behave. Today, we are seeing the moral breakdown permeating the culture around us, and it is playing out with devastating consequences in our culture".
This was the conclusion of Len Munsil, President of the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University who conducted a new poll in association with the Barna Group. The poll revealed 58 percent of respondents said they look to themselves or other people when making moral decisions. Less than one third said that they look to the Bible.
The Center surveyed 2,000 adults at random in January, long before the impact of the Coronavirus and rioting across the country. The American Worldview Inventory study, interviewed all ages, ethnicities, beliefs and political persuasions on the telephone or online.
A total of 58 percent of U.S. adults agreed that "identifying moral truth is up to each individual; there are no moral absolutes that apply to everyone, all the time," according to the survey.
Sadly, 48 percent of adults who identified as born-again Christians agreed with the statement.
The Cultural Research Center also found that the type of church the person attends often corresponded with their answer.
"The adults most likely to rely upon a religious resource -- usually the Bible -- were those aligned with either an evangelical church (58%) or Pentecostal church (62%)," the report states. "People associated with a mainline Protestant congregation were most likely to rely upon themselves for moral wisdom (34%). Catholics were most likely to turn to other people (34%)."
Evangelical church attendees (72 percent), Pentecostal church attendees (70 percent) and born-again Christians (69 percent) were among the most likely to say God is the basis of truth.
Political conservatives were also most likely to rely upon the Bible (40%), while moderates (17%) and liberals (11%) were least likely, instead relying on their own feelings, beliefs, and knowledge for moral direction.
Perhaps most troubling, the findings regarding the moral views of the youngest generation indicate this downward moral trajectory is likely to continue. Americans age 18 to 29 are least likely--only 15%--to turn to the Bible for moral guidance and instead look to themselves (29%) or to family (25%).
This compares with about one-quarter of older Americans, including 23% of those ages 30 to 49, 25% of those 50 to 64, and 26% of those over 64.
Even though young people reject the Bible as a source of moral guidance, hidden within the study's findings may be some encouraging news. As Munsil explained. "A sizeable percentage of young people still look to their family for moral guidance. It's important for parents and other family members to look for opportunities to share moral truth because the next generation wants to hear from them."
Dr. George Barna said that he was not surprised at the results of the survey as he has observed America's departure from its moorings for decades.
"The percentage of adults with a biblical worldview has been sliced in half since 1995," he remarked in a statement. "As Americans embrace the consequences of unrestrained moral choices, we will see further rejections of traditional marriage, conventional child-rearing practices and objectives, millions more abortions, excessive substance abuse, and wider acceptance of suicide, polygamy, sexual perversion, and religious persecution."
"Any society that substitutes humanity's latest and greatest ideas for God's truth and authority is on the fast track to ruin," Barna warned.
He said that much of the responsibility to change the trajectory of the nation lies in the hands of the Church and the family unit.
"The restoration of biblical truth can facilitate the turnaround of a declining society," Barna stated. "It starts with churches relentlessly and consistently teaching biblical truth principles for practical application within all dimensions of life. It requires churches equipping parents to teach those truth principles to their children."
"It demands parents placing their young people in educational, relational, and entertainment environments where God's truth principles are respected and practiced," he continued. "It advances by electing public officials who pass civil laws in harmony with God's religious Law."
"Restoring our foundations will be neither easy nor quick, but such a turnaround can happen if a remnant of God's people devotes themselves to such a process of cultural deliverance."
Cancel Culture and Liberty - Bill Wilson -
We are living in a culture where activist shout down, try to cancel out, and label people who don't agree with them. For example, anyone who believes that black people should be treated equally and fairly in society, cannot possibly support President Trump. Recently, a former professional football player said that those who support Trump, and are also supporting an end to racism, are insincere. Those who want to abolish police forces will call you a fascist and racist if you disagree. Author JK Rowling recently gave her opinion in favor of the traditional male-female relationship, and the radical left exercised extreme "cancel culture" methods to silence her. Sadly, the socialist radical left is become the mainstream left.
Cancel culture calls for boycotting a person because of perceived problematic behaviors or actions. When the larger public decides someone is "canceled," it will avoid supporting or engaging with that person, trying to foment a decline in that person's relevance. Professor and social commentator Jordan Peterson explains this as underserved access to power. He says the classical defense for free speech is that it is good to exchange opinions. In dialogue, we can alter one another's opinions in a way that is mutually beneficial. But Peterson says, "There is no autonomous individual in the post-modern world. You don't have ideas or opinions. There is your group, your identity, your struggle for power and that's all."
The current environment in America reflects this phenomena and it is very dangerous to your freedoms of speech and religion. Socialists are trying to place a death grip on our free society. Christians must stand otherwise freedom will cease to exist. "Freedom sees in religion the companion of its struggles and its triumphs, the cradle of its infancy, the divine source of its rights. It considers religion as the safeguard of mores; and mores as the guarantee of laws and the pledge of its own duration."-these are the words of Alexis de Tocqueville, a French aristocrat who came to America in the 1830s to observe what made the country so great. His "Democracy in America" is considered a historic treasure about the unique success of the United States. Tocqueville wrote that America is free because of its collective Christian religion.
What we are experiencing today is not new, just louder. Cotton Mather wrote in 1820, "There is a liberty of corrupt nature, which is affected both by men and beasts, to do what they list; and this liberty is inconsistent with authority, impatient of all restraint; by this liberty we are all inferior; 'tis the grand enemy of truth and peace, and all the ordinances of God are bent against it. But there is a civil, a moral, a federal liberty, which is the proper end and object of authority; it is a liberty for that only which is just and good; for this liberty you are to stand with the hazard of your very lives." Galatians 5:1 says, "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage." As Christians, we must demand and accept no other form of liberty.
The Death of a Nation- Echoes of 1793 - By Pete Garcia -
Anytime the word "conspiracy" is mentioned in public, many listening instinctively cover their ears and start yelling at the top of their voices so they cannot hear what follows. First things first, conspiracies happen. Conspiracies are not just evil men conspiring together to do some nefarious deeds in dark, smoke-filled rooms on moonless nights. Conspiracies are just that, people conspiring to do something unlawful or harmful to someone else. Just look at the murder of Julius Caesar or even of Jesus Christ. A conspiracy in its essence is simply a plan to do evil by two or more individuals. A conspiracy theory is a theory (speculation) on something that was done in the past or will be done in the future. Furthermore, just because something is labeled a conspiracy theory, does not automatically mean it is false or true, it just means it cannot be proven as of yet. However, there are plenty of conspiracies that were theories until they were later proven true.
Secondly, for those who do not know what the Hegelian Dialectic is (in the Marxist political sense); it is a planned outcome, where actions are instigated to drive people to a predetermined end state. Thesis (proposition) Antithesis (counter-proposition) Synthesis (new thesis). It is a subtle tactic globalists have used to advance their socialist agenda for the past century. So what is their agenda? Quite simply, it is the concentration of power and wealth from the many, to the few. Another tactic aligned with the Dialectic is incrementalism. These small, unnoticeable changes accumulate over time, so much so, that one would hardly notice. However, if you were away, say out of the country for a few years on business, and then came back, the changes would be more noticeable.
Most Americans are unaware of a decline in individual liberty, and the reason is obvious: the decline rarely takes the form of sudden personal deprivations but, instead, takes the form of unnoticed erosion, and thus we come, as do the Russians, to regard whatever state we are in as a normal condition. Leonard E. Read
These are important concepts to understand as you continue to read, because, much of what you are seeing play out on a daily basis, is the culmination of an agenda 100-years in the making. The ANTIFA thugs we see looting, rioting, and burning buildings down didn't just appear one day out of thin air...they were indoctrinated. Their teachers, who indoctrinated them, were themselves, indoctrinated by someone else. The sympathetic media to these thugs and looters, were the same media who just weeks earlier, were so hostile to patriot citizens who were peacefully protesting many of their governors illegal "stay at home" orders. Most of these media figures weren't just pinko-commie-fascists overnight, they too, were indoctrinated somewhere along the way. Even the fact that Donald Trump is president, is a result of years of bureaucratic oppression by an increasingly totalitarian government. Thus, the events over the past 12-years are being orchestrated to get the American people to arrive at a predetermined conclusion, which is, civil war.
First, we must distinguish who is doing what. From bottom to top:
Violence Based Groups: Foot Soldiers
Anarchists- ANTIFA, Black Rose Federation, Symbiosis, etc.
Sectarian/racial supremacy: Black Panthers, Aryan Nation, Black Hebrew Israelites, Hammerskins, National Front, Black Lives Matter (the political arm), Ku Klux Klan, etc.
Gangs: Bloods, Crips, MS-13, Latin Kings, etc.
Sanctioned groups: Planned Parenthood, NARAL
Environmental: Animal Liberation Front (ALF), Earth Liberation Front (ELF), Earth First!, etc.
Islamic: Al Qaeda, ISIS, Muslim Brotherhood, etc.
Leftist Political Groups: Activists
Democrat Party, Green Party, Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), Socialist Party of America (SPA), Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA), Progressives, Communist Party of the United States, Young Communist League, ACLU, SJWs (the Evangelical left), ACORN, Open Society Foundation, Bernie Sanders, Tides Foundation, Southern Poverty Law Center, Green Peace, PETA, Bash Back, Queer Nation, American Atheists, CAIR, etc.
Globalists/Internationalists/One World Government Advocates:
Financers/Influencers The Rockefeller Foundation, Center for American Progress, George Soros, Gordon Brown, Tony Blair, Pope Francis, Bill Gates, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Henry Kissinger, Council of Foreign Relations, Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, The Clinton Foundation, The Obamas, etc.
This is just a small sampling of all the different groups out there that are actively and aggressively seeking to divide and destroy the United States from within. These are just some of whom President Trump and patriotic American's have to contend with on a daily basis going forward. While not all the groups on here advocate for violence, they either see violence as "an option" or are sympathetic to it, especially when it happens against politically incorrect groups...like Conservatives, Christians, and those opposed to their radical agendas. While all the groups on here have differing agendas, they do share a common theme that America that is, must become something radically transformed into something it was never intended to be...a pure democracy.
Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide. Pres. John Adams
It is no secret that the leftists in media and government are desperately trying to avoid a Trump 2020 victory. They have already spent the last four years throwing everything they could at Donald Trump and so far, have come up empty.
~It began with the Access Hollywood Tape release prior to the election.
~When that failed, it went into conspiring to dismantle the incoming administration through falsified FISA warrants, illegal wiretaps, anonymously leaking classified data to the media, weaponizing certain branches of the government against the new administration, and a two-and-a-half-year investigation.
~When that came up empty, it immediately moved into another investigation, which resulted in the Democratic House impeaching the President for alleged quid pro quo, simply for asking about the actual quid pro quo the previous administration actually admitted to doing.
~When that failed to pass the Senate, the emerging Chinese Coronavirus outbreak was coincidentally turned from a non-event, to a global crisis overnight. The impact for this was aimed squarely at shutting down the Trump economy, which to date, had been Trump's greatest achievement.
~After months in a self-imposed quarantine and artificial economic pause, American's began questioning the wisdom in committing economic suicide over a virus with a 99.89% survival rate. Patriots began staging peaceful protests outside of state government offices primarily in Democratic states.
~When the COVID-19 threat began to diminish and failed to stop President Trump's momentum, a white police officer in Minneapolis killed an unarmed black American for no apparent reason. This became the new cause c�l�bre for fighting supposed systemic racism and defunding the law enforcement agencies across the nation.
~It remains to be seen what the political fallout will be for Trump come Election Day even though the event happened in a Democrat-controlled state, and in a democratically controlled city. In fact, the most crime-ridden cities are often the cities that were managed by democrats for decades (Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, etc.).
Assessment
So here we have a global pandemic coinciding with the greatest US economic comeback in a lifetime. The economy was Trump's greatest political advertisement he could ever have, because everybody, whites, blacks, Hispanics, Asians, everyone was doing financially better than they had under eight-years of the Obamanation (short for Obama Administration). In fact, President Trump has worked aggressively to address and fix more long-standing concerns the African-American community have had in his brief tenure, then the past four presidents before him combined. This in spite of having to deal with multiple investigations, a hostile media, and numerous attempts by practically everyone to derail his presidency.
I am especially leery of things that seemed overtly staged, like a high-level pandemic conference two months before a "real" pandemic kicks off globally; or say, a white cop, kneeling on the neck of non-resistant black male for almost nine minutes, all the while, none of his fellow officers bothering to intervene. In addition, all this knowing he was being filmed from multiple cameras. What is even more disturbing, is watching this from multiple angles. Just some really weird things going on for no logical reasons (i.e., the differing time stamps on multiple cameras)
My first thoughts on all this was:
- It is not outside the realm of possibility for emergency planners to plan for potential mass casualty events, which was what I believe Event 201 was supposed to be. There are many, many disconcerting issues that arose from this high-level exercise that seem to stretch credulity as being completely coincidental.
- Initial reactions to the outbreak in Wuhan China was met with zero political panic here in the US. The media was not covering it; late night talk shows were not covering it. Even Dr. Fauci on January 21 and 26 stated that the Wuhan-Virus nothing to worry about. In fact, the only politician concerned was Senator Tom Cotton, who immediately warned the White House.
- However, there was an immediate outcry from the Democrats when Trump shut down air travel from China into the US on 31JAN20. He was called a racist, xenophobe, among other terrible names.
- The impeachment trial heads to the Republican controlled US Senate in early February where it dies a well-earned death. Immediately, as if on cue, the media began reporting on Wuhan Flu as if it was the second coming of the black plague.
- The media and the politicians began playing up the pandemic as an existential threat to life on planet earth; millions were supposed to have died, and we would be shoveling bodies into mass graves across the country because of how deadly this virus was.
- Bill Gates began pushing his COVID-19 vaccine, which did not help; that he also had a patent on a cryptocurrency meant that uses human body data (whatever that means) called WO2020060606A1. Furthermore, he has given some speeches in previous years for which he seems to be advocating for population control to save the planet. Moreover, his father sat on the board of Planned Parenthood for years, so this seems to be fitting a pattern of sorts.
- So the roaring US economy artificially shuts down, and we all sit in house arrest for a number of months. But where are the bodies? Why are supposedly overworked and overwhelmed medical staff, finding time and energy to put together choreographed Tik Tok videos by the dozens? After a month and a half, the president wants to open up the economy again. The media accuse him of willful genocide of the American public.
- However, there is no genocide. People are not dying by the droves. Turns out, by May, we get news reports that the CDC is now admitting errors in how they count COVID deaths. Not only that, but as states like Florida and Texas reopen, their economies start roaring back to life.
- Liberally held Democrat states like California and Michigan are starting to face angry constituents who want their lives back and want to get back to work. Meanwhile, their Democrat leadership began pushing propagandizing the dangers of voting in person in November of 2020, practically demanding that ALL voting in the US go to mail-in ballots.
- Now we come to the tragic death of George Floyd. By early June, practically every American is outraged at what they watched on video. What is strange is that this cop knows he is being filmed. He was doing it on the side of the road in plain view during the day...what did he expect the outcome this to be?
- From the outset, I knew this was not simply a case of "systemic racism" because two of the other cops that stood there and watched it, were not white. One was Asian and one is of mixed ethnicity. If it was racism, it was the strangest case of it I had ever seen in my 46 years. However, the brutality of it was enough to set the country on fire.
- A country that had already been under house arrest for almost three months straight. Within days of the video airing, looters and rioters are overrunning major cities (Democrat blue cities) so much so, that even the protesters began fighting back against the looters and rioters in an attempt, to prevent their movement from being hijacked.
- The rioters were largely under the banner of ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter, both of which fall under the Open Societies Foundation, which is founded and funded by George Soros. This is a fact.
- Mysteriously stacked bricks, bats, spray paint staged on street corners with no construction. ANTIFA members caught in the act of paying rioters. Bused in protestors. Staged entry/exit rioting routes and safe spots. These were highly organized instigators, as if they had been planning this for months...
- The major WTH question I had from the get go was WHY did the officer need to kneel on his neck for almost nine minutes? George Floyd had his hands handcuffed behind him while he was lying flat on his stomach. It would have been almost impossible for him to get up as it were; so it seemed overly unnecessary. It later came out that the two (Derek Chauvin and George Floyd) knew each other from a club they both previously provided security at, which made this case all the weirder.
Therefore, I do have a theory based on everything I laid out, and it is simple. The left (i.e., democrats, leftist media, academia, Hollywood, see above list), along with internationalists, globalists, and pro-United Nations leaders, CANNOT tolerate another four-years of Donald Trump's populist and nationalist agendas. In addition, they will do (and have done) everything within their power, to stop Trump.
They first go after Trump's credibility with the Access Hollywood tapes, which was at the tail end of the "Me Too" movement. It did not sink him. They then go after LTG Michael Flynn, Carter Paige, and George Papadopoulos, and others, attacking anyone attached to Trump in an attempt to derail his first few months in office. Most of these attacks have already been proven false, and are now in the process of bring former Obamanation employees in for questioning with the DOJ and the Senate Judiciary process. The ones who went to jail or are scheduled too were convicted for offenses NOT connected to the Trump Campaign (i.e., Michael Cohen, Roger Stone).
They then spent almost three years with the Mueller Investigation spending nearly $30M, and an army of pro-Clinton lawyers trying to dig up any dirt they could on Trump, the campaign, and anyone even remotely connected to Trump and Russia. Again, a giant-nothing burger. After that report failed, they then got wind of a phone call between President Trump and the President of Ukraine, in which, supposed quid pro quo happened in an attempt to get Joe Biden's son on fraud and corruption charges.
The left lost their mind. They immediately attacked Trump for targeting his political opponent, regardless of the fact that Biden had not even been selected as the Democratic nominee yet. Trump pulls out the boss move and prematurely releases the transcript of the phone call to the senate and press, and proves that there was no- there, there. The Democratic Congress, led by Adam Schiff, proceeded to impeach Trump in an empty show of force, knowing, their efforts would not survive the Republican led Senate.
Which brings us to 2020. While the whole country and the left were exerting maximum pressure on the Senate to get them to empower the impeachment, the news of a novel coronavirus began making its way out of China. The first US Senator, who made any forewarnings about this, was Republican Tom Cotton out of Arkansas. In addition, here, China does something unsettling. They lock down national travel from Wuhan to the rest of China, but they do not stop any international from Wuhan to the rest of the world.
To date, we do not know if the Wuhan Flu was a result of shoddy security practices at their Biosafety Level Four lab, or intentional release, or their proximity to their wet-market, in which animals of all kinds are bought and sold for human consumption. We do not know, because China will not work with any other nations on getting to the truth. This has triggered a multi-national call for punitive actions against China since they are unwilling to cooperate.
This may explain why China's recent aggression in Hong Kong, the South China Seas, and along the border with India have intensified significantly. They are either flexing their muscles, trying to distract us, or may fear economic repercussions and are shoring up their freedom of movement and control before sanctions or other economic constraints are enforced.
Meanwhile, the Department of Justice (DOJ) is wrapping up their yearlong investigation with the Durham Report, which will highlight the treasonous activity of the outgoing Obamanation, and an attempt to sabotage the peaceful transition of power to the incoming Trump Administration. While the Democrat's Mueller and Ukraine investigations came up empty, the Durham Report will show absolutely, serious felonies committed up and down the Obamanation staff, department heads, and other high-ranking cabinet members. I do not think they will go after Obama himself, but you never know.
Which may explain the oddly staged and conveniently timed, George Floyd tragedy. The left needed a new crisis to derail the country. Now Minneapolis and New York City are two of the largest cities claiming they will defund their police departments. Out of all the cities in the US, NYC had, the highest number of COVID-19 deaths, in large part, because they claimed they didn't have enough ventilators, masks, gloves, and other PPE, as well as their enforcement of sending COVID-positive patients back to the Nursing Homes potentially infecting whole populations that already had weakened immune systems. They also conveniently attributed almost all deaths to COVID-19, as if people stopped magically stopped dying from the regular flu, cancer, gunshot wounds, car accidents, suicides, amongst other causes.
Now, these same cities want to defund their police departments after looters and rioters destroyed large sections of their cities? If more cities follow suit, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and Boston, you can rest assured that businesses and law-abiding citizens will flee those cities in droves, hollowing out those metropolises, which will destabilize those states, causing more chaos leading into the 2020 elections.
Conclusion
And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever. 1 John 2:17
I mentioned in the title, 1793, because that was the year Marie Antoinette met her gruesome beheading in the height of the French Revolution, which lasted from 1789-1799. Although the success of the American Revolution some years earlier resulted in American colonist overthrowing British Monarchial rule. The success of America was the result of divine providence and men with the forethought to create a Constitution whose rights are derived from God (not man). Furthermore, a Constitution whose laws were designed to limit government, not individual freedom and property.
The bloody and violent French Revolution became as it were, the standard for all future revolutions to follow. The French Revolution was not based on any divine guidance, but on human secularism. The Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen makes no mention of a Creator granting man inalienable rights, but rather, the rights of the society. It was in 1799, that the French General Napoleon Bonaparte, seized power in a coup d'�tat, and ruled as an absolute dictator for the next 13 years.
While it might seem politically correct to call for the abolishment of organized law enforcement, a nation whose foundation is built on laws, yet does not enforce them, is begging for anarchy. My prediction is that neither Minneapolis nor NYC actually defund their police departments. The mayors of those cities might agree to it, but the governors will probably shoot those ideas down. Furthermore, if they actually did defund them, you would see both citizen and businesses fleeing in droves for fear of what follows.
Isn't that the point of George Soros, Bill Gates, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown (former UK PMs), the Vatican (Roman Catholic Church), the Rockefeller Foundation, and countless other Agenda 2030 proponents? They want a one-world government, run by the United Nations, which all nations fall under the umbrella of their international sovereignty. They had been busy building there dream of a globalist utopia for decades, and in 2016, Americans' overwhelmingly rejected that dream by electing Mr. Populist/Nationalist himself, Donald Trump.
Now, the United States stands like a giant roadblock derailing their dreams of this singular, globalist system. They have come to far now to quit, and will do whatever it takes to get him out of office so they can finish dismantling our Constitution, our economy, and our democracy. From their perspective, the United States may have been born from a righteous revolution, but it will die by suicide.
IF the Lord tarries, and allows Trump to win the 2020 election, we may go forward as a nation and buy ourselves a little bit more time. However, I foresee even more unrest in the urban democrat havens that will force even more stress on the nation. This may require some level of Martial Law, which, if executed by the government, fits right in with the globalists agenda of turning the United States into a perpetual police state. It is sort of a 'damned if you do / damned if you don't' scenarios for President Trump. IF Trump loses the next election (for whatever reason), rest assured, America, as we know her, will cease to exist by 2030.
The most likely scenario is that IF Trump loses, and it appears to be a blatantly, fraudulent coup d'�tat attempt by the left to hijack the election, the US will go into a civil war again. Not because we are sore losers, but because we know that if we lose this election, our country is lost forever. After getting a small glimpse of democrat totalitarianism with the quarantines, and the feeble, beta like responses from the city and state governments during the riots, our nation will not survive four years under another democratic government. We almost got our own version of Bastille Day last week when violent rioting broke out in near the White House in Washington D.C. Unfortunately; this might be a taste of what is coming in the not too distant future.
I am not of the illusion that Trump can fix all that ails our nation. There are too many enemies actively seeking to destroy us from within to ever humanly change that fact. On the other hand, I am equally convinced that there are many more Deplorables out there, who would not just willingly roll over and let the Left take the nation again. I have said this for many years now, but the US is heading toward another civil war. I used to think that it happened AFTER the Rapture, not before; however, if we continue on this path to lawlessness and anarchy, which may mean we are closer to the Rapture than even we think.
The Bible already told us that the United States is not in Bible prophecy. That means despite our best-intended MAGA or KAGA slogans, something happens to our great nation that sidelines us from being a major player in the last days. I do not want that to happen, but as the late Chuck Missler use to say, Bible prophecy is just history written in advance. It is going to happen whether we like it or not. (Isaiah 46:9-10)
Aside from the off chance that a major global, catastrophic, disaster happens (i.e., meteor hitting earth, Yellowstone exploding, alien invasion, etc.). I still believe that the most viable option for the downfall of the United States is the Rapture of the Church. When the Church is pulled out (along with children and invalids), the US economy will implode overnight. Now, should the Lord tarry, I fear the US may get very close to tearing itself apart before that Day comes. Nevertheless, if that (civil war) does happen, the Lord is still Lord and He knows how to care for His own. I still believe that God put Trump in office in 2016 for a reason, and no schemes of man will thwart that plan until God's purposes are fully completed. (Acts 17:26)
Rest assured, the Church we will be removed BEFORE the great and terrible Day of the Lord. As bad as it is now, the lunacy, violence, and lawlessness will be on steroids once the Church is removed. Therefore, we remain busy sharing the Gospel with everyone we can. We also need to be vigilant and vocal about what is coming upon the earth. And it may be that our message now falls on deaf ears and hardened hearts, but God, is still longsuffering that ALL come may come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 3:9)
Perhaps God raised us up in this generation, to be that clarion call to that most hard-hearted of generations, whose minds are given over to their base natures, unable to come to the truth. However, there are still many who will be saved on the other side of the Rapture. Those 'left behind' will have to contend with a very frightening world and their reward might be martyrdom, but we see a multitude who cannot be counted coming out of the Tribulation and standing before the throne after the Rapture. And it gives us hope that our message now is not in vain, and that many may still yet be saved. (Revelation 7:9-10)
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14
Everything was fine ... then - Gary Stearman -
In streets, shopping malls, colleges and office buildings the adversary is becoming more and more visible. As an American Christian, you are beginning to see yourself as a minority, perhaps even an outmoded minority. Your first thought is that you should begin the "spiritual warfare" that you heard about in church all those years ago. But in the pursuit of daily life, careful planning and responsible action, you had long ago discovered that you really didn't need it.
Life worked out beautifully, as you developed a career, raised children, paid taxes and kept the law. And all those years you voted responsibly and attended a formal church, with its own, welcoming atmosphere.
Everything was fine ... then. Now, we have awakened to a world of shadow governments, political coups, manufactured pandemics and authoritarian social controls. There is much talk about vaccines being the "mark of the beast." And the communists and anarchists have bided their time until they sensed that society was unstable enough to take to the streets again.
Your "normal life" is disappearing by degrees, and you sense an "end of the age" chill in the air. Living as a faithful Christian these days is a challenge. The enemy has crept into all our cherished institutions. Sometimes, he is referred to as the "deep state." At other times, he is labeled as a "liberal," which simply means rejecting the Spirit of the Lord in favor of human wisdom. This is the natural instinct of sinful mankind.
When the presence of the Lord is pushed away, He willingly recedes into the background. Yet somehow, it's very hard to fully realize this fact. When He's not called upon, His presence fades. Evil rises. As in the days of the prophet Samuel, when the people rejected God's rule:
"6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD. 7 And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them" (I Sam. 8:6,7).
In his old age, Samuel had turned his Godly rule over to his two unworthy sons, who governed through graft and corruption. The people demanded a king to rule over them, just like the surrounding Gentile nations. Earlier, Israel had demanded that Moses allow them to have a king: "And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul" (Ps. 106:15).
In the present world, faithful Christians know that the Spirit of the Lord is present and available. But, unlike our daily human companions, He doesn't appear visibly. You know He's there, and that He has legions of angels at His command. His presence and action must be perceived through faith.
People who have lived a very long time are now shocked, saying that they've never seen such unrest in our blessed land. Longstanding social restraints are being broken one by one. Common sense seems to have been swept away. But what is common sense? Very simply, it is the collective benefit of centuries of Christian civilization. When the Church is weakened, civilization will inevitably fall.
In the wake of weeks of a pandemic and "social distancing," that even resulted in the closing of churches, Christians pray for relief and revival. But somehow, that effort seems futile.
It is not! In fact, Satan's world system has long been a reality on this planet. When we forget that, and relax our guard, he begins to rise. This is now quite visible, as the culture tilts toward increasing rebellion in all its aspects. Those who are convinced that revolution is the only way, rise by degrees until they burst forth in surprising power.
This is an ancient pattern ... repeated time and again. What is needed is clear:
"10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil" (Eph. 6:10,11).
Racial Strife in Prophecy - Terry James -
I remember as a teenager my dad telling me that Papa (his father, whom we grandchildren called "Daddy James") said that one day there would be a great racial war in America. My grandfather, who was, among many other things, a school teacher and Pentecostal preacher in south Arkansas, apparently was well known in the region and was sought out for his opinion and advice by politicians and many others. His assessment was that the treatment being given black people would one day come back to haunt the nation.
I heard the story many times from my father and from others within our family on the James side. I didn't pay a lot of attention to the memories of those stories at age fifteen, even during the 1957 integration crisis at Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas.
That crisis seemed to sort of work itself out, with a lot of help from President Dwight D. Eisenhower and a national guard that the president took out from under the command of Governor Orval Faubus.
As a tenth grader, the racial things just didn't register very strongly with me. There was complete segregation at the time in my hometown, and Benton High School seemed a continent away from the epicenter of the great controversy of integration vs segregation-although my high school was no more than twenty-five miles from Central High in Little Rock.
The current racial crisis, as I view it as a septuagenarian, finally brings into focus the forward thinker man Daddy James apparently was...
I don't know how much Bible prophecy played into his thinking. I just knew him when I was a teenager. He died in 1958 and, to me, he was kind of a grumpy old guy with thick, white, tousled hair and white, bushy eyebrows. He was a big, burly, man who sat around at 80-something and grumbled in curmudgeon fashion at us youngsters whenever we tried to get into his violin case in one corner of the room where his favorite chair sat. He was a gifted musician and artist.
I have to think, now, that his observations were somewhat inspired. I've always been told that Daddy James was a genius, with few social graces-of which he didn't wish to indulge, at any rate, because he was inwardly turned.
He was quite the Bible student, family and friends said. This makes me wonder whether Bible prophecy played deeply into his pontification during the rare times he cared to wax eloquent on America's future racial problems.
Whether he possessed a degree of prescience I don't know. But here we are, and there is a great racial divide that could break into a civil war of sorts. This especially since of the most volatile areas of the country have governors and mayors who are thinking about defunding police departments, and even about completely doing away with them, in order to correct wrongs done to the black race.
Certainly corrections need to be made in ways that would assure that racial profiling and bigotry are not allowed within police departments. What happened to George Floyd should never be allowed to happen again. But it will. It is inevitable. Whether through deliberate, hate-filled racial bigotry or simply a completely lawful act by a law enforcement official to apprehend someone suspected of a criminal act, it will happen again.
There are always going to be lawbreakers, and there are always going to be bigots. As the saying goes, you can't legislate morality. You can make laws to enforce compliance, but only God can change spiritual hearts. He does so through the saving of souls one individual at a time.
To want to defund law enforcement is nothing short of insanity, unless we want complete anarchy to rule. And one being does indeed want this scenario.
Satan, of course, is the personage stirring the pot of racial hatreds. He and his minions, both demonic and human, are active. Their chief aim is to bring America into the globalist order for the wind-up of the age, to establish his man, Antichrist, on the platform of control Lucifer the fallen one wants.
Satan's hatred for humanity is infinitely greater than the leftists' hatred for President Donald Trump. And this president is the target at the center of this crisis-the one I guess Gideon Johnson James-Daddy James-somehow foresaw.
Or maybe he just took the Word of Jesus, Himself, and extrapolated the evil that he perceived to be on its way to become an incendiary bomb that would explode near the time Christ would return.
I kind of sense that Daddy James read the following and cogitated quite a bit on the things within.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. (Matthew 24:7)
It is stunning, regarding Jesus' prophecy here. We are experiencing these very symptoms of things the Lord foretold for the very end of the age. They are part of the convergence we have been experiencing for some time during these past several years.
He said there will be famines, meaning famines of unusual dimension and cause. Jesus always spoke in terms that indicated things He prophesied will be far beyond normal levels.
The African continent and some Asian and other areas are experiencing a likelihood of growing famine. This growing probability of famine is the result of the second thing Jesus said in this prophetic verse. There is pestilence. Pestilence in the form of disease runs rampant in those areas of the world mentioned. And, as we know, pestilence in the form of the Wuhan virus is running rampant throughout the world as well.
But, beyond this, pestilence in the form of locust swarms, and even swarms of deadly hornets, the likes of which haven't been seen since ancient times, are denuding the agricultural lands that feed the populations affected.
All the while the famines and pestilences are devastating broad swaths of the world, the great human plague is developing that has at its center bigotry and racial hatred.
Jesus foretold that "nation shall rise against nation."
The Greek word for "nation," here, as we have seen before, is ethnos. This means "ethnic," of course...race-i.e., races will rise up against other races.
Perhaps my grandfather didn't have the gift of prophecy-certainly not in the sense of Old and New Testament prophets. There is no such gift today. One thing sure, though, our Lord did and does have that ability. It sure appears He was foretelling this very moment of racial strife.
This is, I believe, all to remind those of us who truly believe every Word in the Bible that His call to us must be near indeed.
For when you see all these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your head, for your redemption draws near. (Luke 21: 28)
An Antifa object lesson - Bill Wilson -
Watching the videos of a street preacher being harassed, wrestled to the ground and dragged in the Seattle Antifa-controlled "Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone," is confirmation of just how your freedoms of speech and religion will be handled under militant leftist groups if they are allowed authority. Under the claim of being anti-fascist, they are fascist. They want to defund police so that they can easily take over areas of the country and rule with their brand of "democracy," which is rule by majority in a specific area rather than rule by law. Laws in the United States are designed to protect minorities from this very kind of vigilante "justice." You give up some freedom for protection under the law. It's called the social contract.
Most reasonable people do not want to abolish police or give in to loser anarchists ruling over them. You can see with the Seattle example what happens to very basic rights. This time it is a street preacher. Next time, it could be you. It's not so appealing is it? Makes you a bit uneasy, right? Makes you angry? Now imagine how black people feel when they see that those who are supposed to uphold the law treat them the same way that Antifa is being allowed to treat the street preacher. Only they have been treated this way for decades. I realize that many in America have not seen this treatment and hardly believe that it happens, but it does. Just how in the back of your mind you would feel uneasy about walking through the Seattle zone, is how many black brothers and sisters feel every day. I am reporting what I have found after many interviews.
The problem here is that a vast majority discounts this soft tyranny with "yeah but." So many people have given so many reasons why these black men and women have been killed. It's almost as if they are trying to justify an unjust death because of some collective misdeed assigned to the victims. Let me be very clear. An unjust (meaning deadly force is used when a life-preserving option is available) taking of a life, irrespective of what a person is accused of, or has done in the past, goes against Christian principle. Christ said in John 10:10, "I am come that they may have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." As Christians, we are called to support life over death, love over hate, and just law over unjust law. It's not just about unjust deaths, it is about the ongoing harassment. The deaths are the tip of the spear, so to speak.
Equal protection under the law. If you break the law, your protections do not stop, but rather begin in another way, meaning you are innocent until proven guilty. Many people forget that small fact. I hear, "Well he did this or she had a record." This is in material. Whether you agree with the Seattle street preacher's methods, we all can agree that he should be protected under the law. Instead he is harassed and assaulted. It is an example of what will happen if the left's army is allowed to take over. But it is also an object lesson about how laws are in place to protect the minority from the whims of the majority. And the laws are supposed to be color blind, as are those who enforce them. All this to say, that if you claim to be a disciple of Christ, the standard is far higher than the political agendas that hijack and choke out the truth. Don't be deceived.
They Are Serious About Defunding the Police - Todd Strandberg -
Politicians and City councils are joining calls to "defund the police." Last week, a veto-proof majority of Minneapolis City Council members announced their commitment to disbanding the city's embattled police department. The City Council's decision follows those of several other high-profile partners, including Minneapolis Public Schools, the University of Minnesota, and the Minneapolis Parks and Recreation, to sever longstanding ties with the MPD.
Since George Floyd's killing and the protests that ensued, officials in Los Angeles and New York City have called for making deep cuts to police budgets and reallocating those funds for education, affordable housing, and other social services.
There has been no clear indication that the officer that killed Floyd did so because he was black. Since Democrats have controlled Minneapolis for generations, how can there still be systemic racism? "Minneapolis has been under Democratic control since 1978. Chicago has been under Democratic control for 89 years; its present mayor is a black woman. Philadelphia has had Democratic mayors for 68 years; three of its last five mayors have been black men. Six of the last seven Atlanta, Ga., mayoral administrations were led by black Democratic mayors, and the present mayor is a black woman.
This latest ploy by the left is so crazy, the people proposing it don't even know how to defend it. A reporter on CNN asked an advocate of this crazy plan, "What do you do if a thief is trying to break into your house?" She replied that the homeowner should contemplate their white privilege. It's nice for his woman to assume that all home robberies are by black people, but what if a white guy is kicking your front door in? Another woman put together a video that suggested medical drug and counseling services if you get raped.
Moderate voices seem to be fading with escalating demands that leaders demonstrate an allegiance by denouncing the values that have long defined our nation. The news media is driving out anyone who shows a moderate view.
Stan Wischnowski, the now former lead editor of The Philadelphia Inquirer, resigned over a headline titled "Buildings Matter, Too," which detailed the destructive nature of social unrest on the city's local economy over the police killing of an unarmed black man.
The headline drew immediate backlash from readers and staffers. The Inquirer issued an apology for a "horribly wrong" decision to publish the headline about looting and burning down buildings on the margins of protests. In its apology piece, The Inquirer said:
"The Philadelphia Inquirer published a headline in Tuesday's edition that was deeply offensive. We should not have printed it. We're sorry, and regret that we did. We also know that an apology on its own is not sufficient. The headline accompanied a story on the future of Philadelphia's buildings and civic infrastructure in the aftermath of this week's protests. The headline offensively riffed on the Black Lives Matter movement and suggested an equivalence between the loss of buildings and the lives of black Americans. That is unacceptable."
The New York Times pushed out editor James Bennet because he ran an op-ed from Senator Tom Cotton, R-Ark., suggesting American soldiers should be used to quell protests and violence.
The breathing of mercury vapor fumes must be a new fad. The introduction of this toxic element to the nervous system would be the only natural way to account for the sudden increase in racial craziness. The reason is the powers of darkness have taken over people's minds at will.
In Dallas, the well-known statue of a Texas Ranger has been removed because an article in D Magazine referred to racist history connected to the rangers. USA Today reported on the possibility that TV cop shows, from "Dragnet" to "NYPD Blue" to "Law & Order" must be taken off the air now, so as not to glorify police work. The show "Cops" was cancelled after running for 31 years.
In London, England, a statue of Abraham Lincoln was vandalized by BLM people who don't know their history. The left has been very crafty in making people think that Lincoln fought for the South. I guess he freed the slaves and got an assassin's bullet in the back of the head for nothing.
I do not think the Ku Klux Klan exits anymore. If the organization was active, it would express outrage over the idea of defunding the police. The Klan probably died because Satan found the liberal agenda a far great killing machine for members of the black race.
There were 18 recorded murders by the University of Chicago Crime Lab for May 31, 2020: the single-most violent day in six decades, the Chicago Sun-Times recently reported. Since the Crime Lab numbers go back only to 1961, it was an all-time record. If gangs don't have to worry about looking over their shoulder for a cop, the blood would run like rivers in the streets.
If we get rid of the police, some force will be required to ensure the peace. I've had some people write me to say that Antifa and Black Lives Matter are taking over their neighborhood. We are quickly going to have no-go zones all over America.
I follow actor James Woods on Twitter, and he listed all the police officers who died in the line of duty in 2020. We are in a very sad state when people who sacrifice their lives for the common good are reviled and people who loot and destroy property are campaigned as heroes. We know that we are near to the end of the Church age when society becomes so demented it totally inverses the natural perception of good and evil.
"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" (Isaiah 5:20).
Seattle reaches deal with 'CHOP' to remove temporary roadblocks, replace with concrete barriers
The city of Seattle and protesters occupying the �Capitol Hill Organized Protest� have reached an agreement that will remove temporary roadblocks and replace them with concrete barriers, Fox News has been told.
The Seattle Department of Transportation is installing concrete barriers in the middle of Pine Street, running East and West, which will split the road for both pedestrian and vehicle traffic. This will allow for emergency service vehicles to pass through the area.
SEATTLE CITY COUNCIL BANS POLICE USE OF CHOKEHOLDS, CROWD CONTROL DEVICES AMID PROTESTS
The agreement will reduce the area protesters previously called Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, or CHAZ, from about six or seven city blocks to just three. This is the first time in weeks traffic will be able to pass by the shuttered East Police Precinct.
Fox News has confirmed the agreement to replace the wooden barrier set in place by the protesters with concrete barriers with Seattle Fire Chief Harold Scoggins, the Seattle Department of Transportation and Seattle Public Utilities. The Seattle Police Department is not overseeing the concrete barrier being put in place.
The development comes after the Seattle City Council on Monday voted unanimously to ban police from using chokeholds, and crowd-control devices like tear gas and pepper spray.
The Seattle Police Department used tear gas to disperse mostly peaceful demonstrators protesting racism and police brutality in the city�s Capitol Hill neighborhood following the death of George Floyd, a black man who died last month in the custody of a white police officer. The council heard repeated complaints from residents forced out of their homes by the gas even though they weren't protesting; one resident said his wife doused their child's eyes with breast milk.
On Monday, Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan, who has repeatedly clashed with President Trump over her handling of the CHOP, tweeted: �Seattle won't lose sight of what we need: allowing our community to exercise their first amendment rights, demilitarizing our police force, rethinking who responds to 9-1-1 calls, and investing more to create meaningful change for our black and brown communities.�
Durkan has yet to publicly address the agreement between the city of Seattle and the CHOP.
A federal judge on Friday issued a temporary order banning Seattle police from using tear gas, pepper spray, and foam-tipped projectiles against protesters. The court found that the department had used less-lethal weapons �disproportionately and without provocation,� stifling free speech.
The new barriers will make it easier for emergency services to enter the area. Early Monday morning, a Seattle auto repair shop located on 12th street, but outside the CHOP�s initial perimeters, was reportedly broken into by a protester who attempted to light a fire before the business owners arrived and detained him. The owner told local news outlets that despite over a dozen 911 calls, no police or fire personnel arrived at the scene, which grew violent when armed protesters broke down the fence, demanding the suspect be released.
Fire Chief Scoggins visited the business later Monday and said he was still investigating why fire personnel had not responded.
Fox News learned Tuesday that the fire team was waiting on a police escort to the business, but police did not want to enter the area to escalate tensions. Seattle police took a report of the incident and sent officers to the periphery, but did not engage with the business owners or protesters or take the suspect into custody.
Messages call for NYPD July 4th strike to protest anti-police climate
By Stephanie Pagones
Published June 18, 2020
Text messages circulating throughout the New York Police Department are calling for members to �strike� on July 4 in protest of anti-police rhetoric and budget cut proposals as tensions in the wake of recent officer-involved deaths have reverberated across the city and country, sources confirmed to Fox News.
�NYPD cops will strike on July 4 th [sic],� states one of the two message being sent around the NYPD. �To let the city have their independence without cops.�
The flier states that the alleged �strike� will begin at �1500 hours,� or 3 p.m. The New York Post was first to report the news. Fox News has confirmed the report and obtained images of both messages. It wasn't immediately clear who started the chain.
The message goes on to state that police are told they cannot strike because of New York State�s Taylor Law, formally known as the �Public Employees� Fair Employment Act,� that bars public employees from doing so.
�The people and this city doesnt honor us why honor them,� the flier further states. �So its easy to loot and riot without repercussions but its not easy to do our job because the city will hang us.�
An NYPD spokesperson told Fox News any suggestion that the NYPD would not be available to do its job "is false."
"New York City Police Officers will be here today, tomorrow, and on the 4th of July to protect all New Yorkers," NYPD spokesperson Sgt. Mary Frances O�Donnell said in an emailed statement.
Racial tensions have flared nationwide in the wake of the death of George Floyd on May 25. Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, died after a white Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin, kneeled on his neck for more than eight minutes despite Floyd saying multiple times that he could not breathe.

RUDY GIULIANI: NYC IS GOING BACK TO 'RIDICULOUS' LAW ENFORCEMENT POLICIES UNDER DE BLASIO
Demonstrators worldwide took to streets to decry racism and protest police brutality, which has further strained the relationship between the police and the public.
Over the last three months, the coronavirus crisis has dealt an estimated $9.5 billion blow to New York City�s budget, leading some elected officials to peer closely at police department funding.
That scrutiny only intensified as pandemic lockdowns gave way to protests spurred by Floyd�s May 25 death in Minneapolis, with demonstrations in New York marred by looting and violent clashes between officers and demonstrators.
Last Friday, city council leaders joined the city�s elected fiscal watchdog and police reform advocates in calling for $1 billion in cuts to the nearly $6 billion police budget. Among the proposals: slashing overtime, trimming the approximately 36,000-officer force through attrition, and investing some of the savings in social services and communities impacted by police misconduct.
The second message is topped with the heading �#Blueflu,� and describes how the mainstream media and New York State government officials have painted police as the �bad guys.�
�Police officers like you and me took an oath to protect strangers regardless of race, class or gender,� states one of the fliers. �Today we are vilified and must stand as one. Enclosed are instructions on how we will get our point across that we are necessary and must be valued.�
The message, which was sent out Thursday morning, also describes how an officer should go about taking a sick day on July 4, 2020 � �the date that we will make our voices heard.� If officers are initially denied their advance request for the day off, the message further encourages them to phone the NYPD�s �sick desk,� or even go into work that day and request a �bus� � a term used to refer to an ambulance � to pick them up, according to the message.

Kneeling for Peace and Safety - By Terry James -
Detroit Police Chief Todd Bettison took a knee when confronted by a group of protesters of George Floyd's death at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer. Bettison complied with the enraged protesters' demands, later saying he did so for "tactical reasons," apparently since a kneeling policeman threatens no action against anyone. Bettison said he did so because he "didn't want any violence."
The performance was against police protocol to be ready to put down actions of unruly gatherings that threaten public harm.
It was all quite ironic since Bettison, a black man, was kneeling before a mob that included a number of white people.
Again, his purpose was, he said, to prevent violence. It was a noble gesture, I suppose, since it seemed to work in that instance. Detroit, of all places, seems to have avoided some of the extreme acts of destruction and anarchy of other inner cities.
Minneapolis, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and others didn't fare so well. Seattle, of course, was completely taken over in one section of downtown by anarchists who demanded extortion money from business owners and even residents to "protect" them in the absence of cops, who abdicated even their precinct headquarters to the gun-toting mob.
Abdication of individual rights quickly turned into kneeling before the people who are determined to break the nation into individual "protectorates." I use the term facetiously, of course.
These extortionists and destroyers of law and order are following the dictates of the minions that direct them. Satan is the lawless one at the head of all such activity, regardless of the noble purposes within which the destroyers try to deceptively couch their protestation.
There is a place in America for protests-for free speech against perceived or actual wrongs. The Constitution provides that protection to individuals and to groups of peaceful protesters.
But it is peace that is disturbed-is taken away-when the mob mentality takes over and lawlessness prevails.
When violence ensues if others don't kneel before them and their "causes"-this is iniquity of the first order. This is lawlessness.
We see God's thoughts on iniquity, the biblical synonym for lawlessness, throughout His Word.
And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. (Matthew 24:12)
Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. (1 John 3:4)
For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is taken out of the way. (2 Thessalonians 2:7)
And then will I declare to them, "I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness." (Matthew 7:23)
It can be conjectured, I think, whether the lawlessness we are witnessing is bringing about the cry for peace and safety prophesied for the time leading up to the day of the Lord-the time when the Age of Grace will end. This will be the moment of the Rapture.
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. (1 Thessalonians 5:2-3)
The officer in Detroit was kneeling as a symbolic cry for peace and safety for the people he was supposed to be protecting.
Santa Barbara Mayor Cathy Murillo attended a protest at which she did not agree to calls by protesters to take a knee. The mob became unruly and the crowd refused to allow her to speak. Two days later, she took a knee during the Pledge of Allegiance at city council meeting, but her action was rejected as "an encore performance."
But the most despicable act for purpose of political pandering, in my view, came when Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi led House and Senate Democrats in a group kneel at the Capitol's Emancipation Hall. It was a blatant statement against constitutional law and order yet perpetrated by an official at that level of federal government. It showed disdain for men and women in law enforcement who die every year to protect us from those who would make us kneel before them.
And make no mistake; it is indeed a thin, blue, line (law enforcement) between us and the tyrants who want to enslave Americans-enslavement, the history of which is the very thing this current kneeling nonsense is supposed to show solidarity against.
The following article excerpt offers a bit of hope for the nation in standing against the kneeling, if I may put it that way.
The ritual [kneeling in solidarity /protest] has caught on and people from around the world are now following suit...
Though the murder of George Floyd is universally condemned, not everyone who supports the fight against racism agrees with taking a knee. Lily Mei, the first Asian-American and the first woman mayor of Fremont California, was addressing a protest on Tuesday when the crowd called for her to take the knee.
"Taking a knee is something that I'm not going to be doing," she told the crowd.
She explained her decision... "I have been asked why I will not kneel at events like the one from earlier today," Mei wrote. "Because of my faith, I will never kneel to anyone but God. You will see me kneel in church, but you will not ever see me kneel at any other event except in prayer."
This statement of faith was also expressed by Georgia State Trooper O'Neal Saddler, who was allegedly asked to kneel during a demonstration in Hartwell.
"If I didn't have any respect, I wouldn't [be here]," Saddler explained. "I was supposed to be out of town this weekend with my wife. I took off today, this weekend, but I'm out here to make sure y'all are safe."
He added, "Don't go there with respect, OK? I have much respect, but I only kneel for one person."
Someone in the crowd replied: "And that's God," which the trooper confirmed: "God."
This is Georgia State Trooper O'Neal Saddler. He was asked to kneel today, and this was his response.
God Bless him! ("Rabbis Agree: Kneel Before No One Except God," Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz, June 9, 2020, Breaking Israel News)
People of America and the world take heed. Don't kneel before the lawlessness perpetrated by the lawless one-Satan. Kneel only before the One Who truly has the keys to peace and safety, to death and hell, to salvation.
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:10-11)
Antifa sets up fascist state in Seattle - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com
In the name of freedom and anti-fascism, Antifa has taken over part of Seattle and has established a fascist enclave. It is difficult to obtain information on exactly what is happening there. Nonetheless, there are several collaborative accounts from anonymous sources, including those claiming to be Seattle police, that report Antifa leaders are carrying AK-47s, there are checkpoints backed by armed guards, they are stopping citizens at gunpoint. One report indicates that Antifa is setting up an ID system and creating a currency. There are many videos online that confirm citizen harassment. Reports cite that protests about racism were hijacked by Antifa terrorists who are supported by Seattle city council members.
The Daily Jot reported in October 2017: The masked thugs that comprise Antifa are visible reminders of how people are trying to tear down American society, destroy the American ideal. They attack police officers. In the name of anti-fascism, they perpetrate fascism. A militant arm of Antifa is the Revolutionary Abolitionist Movement (RAM). On its website RAM says it, "is a political movement dedicated to freeing people from bondage and building resistance in the United States. We situate our political movement in the context of the abolitionist struggle against slavery and continue in the tradition, from Nat Turner to the Black Liberation Movement...as revolutionary anarchists, the abolitionist struggle must be extended to the state and capitalism, the perpetrators of oppression....We will burn down the American plantation once and for all."
On April 25th, 2017, The Daily Jot reported that Antifa stands for "anti-fascist action" and, by its own definition, is an organization of anarchists and communists fighting to end fascism. Antifa is working unofficially and with plausible deniability in collaboration with the ex-"president's" Organizing for Action, which boasts a following of protesters some 30,000 strong with 250 offices across the country. OFA is the George Soros-funded $40 million front group set up as the ex "president's" shadow government and leads other non-profits in signaling protests across the country. Antifa shows up as the "enforcer" to violently dispirit pro-Constitutional Americans.
On June 3, the San Diego Union Tribune reported that the "ex-president," while participating in an online round-table event from his Washington, DC home, said, "For those who have been talking about protest, just remember that this country was founded on protest - it is called the American Revolution." A week after these remarks, Antifa moved on Seattle and took control of an area now called the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ). Breitbart and Fox News reported the armed takeover, while CNN and the New York Times refuted these reports, siding with the Mayor and City Council, calling the takeover "part street festival, part commune." CNN and others claimed these takeover reports were absolutely false.
This is not a drill. It's real. Jesus said in Matthew 24:4, "Take heed that no man deceive you." Do not be deceived by denials, especially when these people justify violence in the name of protecting social justice and free speech while, in reality, they oppress both. This includes the news media, some elected officials, and a political narrative. It is an example of how an issue that needs to be sincerely addressed is hijacked and choked out by those claiming to be something they are not. Deception and rebellion are in the air, making it difficult to breath truth.
