TRUMP WATCH: 11.28.20 - Election chess game shaping up

Election chess game shaping up– Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com The election should be as simple as one eligible voter, one vote, vote counted, tallied and results determined, but it is become more of a multilevel chess game where votesare just the movement of the first pawn, then the real politics begins. America is beginning to see that there are a whole lot of political maneuvers involved in getting a true vote count. As the hours approach where states must certify election results, politically-appointedofficials, judges, lawyers, and some elected politicians in the states of Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Arizona will wield more power over the presidential election than the normal citizen. This is a high-stakes multilevel chess match. Former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell detailed in his column “The Greatest Electoral Heist in American History” how state officials were able to “weaken, alter, andeliminate laws” designed to preserve election integrity. He cites how Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg funded a “charitable” organization working with Barack Obama’s senior advisor David Plouffe. Zuckerberg poured over $400 million into assisting officialsto have “safe and secure elections” by funding operations in Democratic strongholds on how elections were to be “conducted” according to a manual written by Plouffe. Blackwell documents how high-ranking Democratic Party state officials then “simultaneously” weakened ballot security protocols, acting on their own authority without concurrence from the state legislators that put those protections in the law. To his point, Wisconsin Democrat Secretary of State Doug La Follette allowed voters to claim a COVID exemption so they wouldn’t have to identify themselves when requestingan absentee ballot. Blackwell says Michigan Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson unilaterally voided the legal requirement that voters provide a signature when requesting an absentee ballot, AND also allowed civic groups running voter registration drivesto register voters through the state’s online registration website. Can you say Zuckerberg, Plouffe, Rock The Vote and more? Pennsylvania US District Judge Matthew Brann Saturday dismissed a Trump Campaign attempt to block the state’s election certification,saying the there was no evidence of fraud. The mainstream media is not telling you that judge Brann was appointed by Obama in 2012. Meantime, Federal Elections Commission Chairman Trey Trainor, a Trump appointee, told Newsmax that the election could be illegitimate if it is true that Republican observerswere not allowed at polling places, duplicate ballots were cast, non-residents voted, and elections officials took questionable actions. This chess match will come down to courts, judges, and lawyers crowning a president—not the voters electing one. Sadly,some politicians don’t care about the ramifications to this nation so long as they retain their power. And the fallacy that we have a say with our votes will continue until We the People end it by demanding reform. Remember Proverbs 29:2, “When the righteousare in authority, the people rejoice; But when the wicked rule, the people groan.” There is a whole lot of wickedness going around and we didn’t vote for that. The Great Relocation: Americans Are Relocating By The Millions Because They Can Feel What Is Coming- by Michael Snyder - http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/the-great-relocation-americans-are-relocating-by-the-millions-because-they-can-feel-what-is-coming This is a really odd time to be having a “housing boom”. We are in the middle of the worst public health crisis in 100 years, endless civil unrest has been ravaging manyof our largest cities, and we are experiencing the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s. But even though more than 70 million Americans have filed new claims for unemployment benefits this year, home sales are absolutely rocking. Howin the world is this possible? Well, this phenomenon is actually quite easy to explain. As our society comes apart at the seams all around us, vast numbers of Americans are seeking greener pastures. Accordingto ABC News, the chaotic events of 2020 have caused “millions of Americans” to relocate. In New York City alone, more than 300,000 former residents have permanently moved to new addresses. We have never seen anything quite like this before, and it is anticipated that this trend will continue into 2021. Even though most Americans don’t know exactly what isahead, I think that on some level many of them can feel what is coming, and they are getting out of the big cities while they still can. So even though we are literally in the midst of a horrifying economic depression, homes are selling like hotcakes right now… Home sales rose again in October, at their highest pace in 14 years, according to the National Association of Realtors. But a record low inventory of available homes and a greater number of luxury homes sold have pushed the median home price up to a record $313,000, almost 16% more than ayear ago. With so many interested buyers and such little inventory, it has definitely become a seller’s market… At the current pace of sales, it would take just 2.5 months to clear the existing inventory — a record low. If you want to sell your home, now is a really good time to do so. But then good luck finding a new place. This incredible surge in demand for housing has also fueled a tremendous boom in housing starts… Single-family starts experienced continued gains in October, according to data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Census Bureau. Single-familyconstruction is up 8.6% year-to-date, with notable gains in 2020 for the Midwest and other lower-density markets. The pace of single-family starts in October was the highest production rate since the spring of 2007. So even though so many other sectors of the economy are deeply hurting at the moment, those that build homes are loving life right now. Real estate websites are also doing extremely well. In particular, “Zillow surfing” has become a new national pastime… Zillow usage has climbed since March, with online visitors to for-sale listings up more than 50 percent year-over-year in the early months of the pandemic. People bond over listings on Discord servers, group chats and “Zillow Twitter,” and their obsession has made many strange and obscure listings go viral. Curbed, a websitecovering city life, real estate and design, recently started a column called My Week in Zillow Saves, in which people (myself included) share the homes they’ve admired on the site. If you can believe it, “Zillow surfing” has become “especially popular among teenagers”… Zillow surfing is especially popular among teenagers. A TikTok meme over the summer consisted of users talking about knowing where the bathrooms were in their friend’s orcrush’s house before ever visiting it because they had toured all of their classmates’ homes on Zillow. Many young people have extensivelists of saved homes and discuss and share listings with friends. When life is miserable, people like to daydream about something better, and “Zillow surfing” allows them to do that. Personally, I have been hearing from so many people that have either recently relocated or that would like to move. So many that I know are feeling an urgency like neverbefore, because they sense that really dark times are fast approaching. Interestingly, one of the most important things that people look at when they are thinking of relocating is the political orientation of an area. In fact, one recent surveyfound that 42 percent of Americans “would be hesitant to move to an area where most people have political views different from their own”… Forty-two percent of U.S. residents would be hesitant to move to an area where most people have political views different from their own, up from 32% in June, accordingto a new report from Redfin (redfin.com), the technology-powered real estate brokerage. That’s the highest share since 2017, when Redfin began posing this question to survey respondents. Increasingly, Democrats are moving to “blue states” and conservatives are moving to “red states”. Could this potentially have some very serious implications down the road? I don’t know. I am just asking the question. For other Americans, leaving the country entirely seems like a promising option… Americans are leaving the country or seeking foreign visas in record numbers, according to immigration lawyers and expatriate organizations, during an oppressive year ofpolitical violence, racial strife and an uncontrolled pandemic that has kept families locked in their homes for months – with no clear end in sight. As the economic suffering in the U.S. intensifies, the number of people wanting to leave will almost certainly go even higher. With each passing day, more new restrictions are being put in place to try to control the COVID pandemic, and these new restrictions are going to make our ongoing economicdepression a whole lot worse. Already, it has become clear that another huge wave of economic pain is upon us. The Greater Los Angeles Food Bank says that demand is up 145 percent compared to last year, and the other day people waited in absolutely massive lines for up to 12 hoursat a food bank in Texas just to get some food. Other Americans are stockpiling huge quantities of toilet paper and other supplies in anticipation of a very difficult winter. No matter what happens with the election, things are about to get really crazy in this country. Whatever you need to do to get prepared for what is ahead, I would do it as soon as possible. The clock is ticking, and it appears that our day of reckoning is nearly here. Our World Hangs on the Edge of Eternity � Jonathan Brentner - https://www.jonathanbrentner.com/https/jonathan-brentner-g8fgsquarespacecom/config/2020/11/23/our-world-hangs-on-the-edge-of-eternity I tense up inside just watching rock climbers on television. I remember looking away from a movie scene where Tom Cruise hung by one hand on the edge of a cliff with a dropof thousands of feet below him. The Lord did not equip me for such adventures (or even to watch people defy death in such a way). When I think of our world at this moment, I picture Tom Cruise dangling on the edge of a cliff with nothing but air below him. Likewise, our world hangs on the precipiceof eternity as signs of the rapidly approaching tribulation gain in intensity each day. And if our world lies on the edge of this coming time of wrath, then how much closer must we as believers be to the rapture that happens before the tribulation begins? I believe we live in a period of relative calm before a great storm sweeps across the planet. God�s judgment on the Christ-rejecting world is ever so close at hand. Therapidly approaching tribulation will bring people face to face with the wrath of the Lord and give them one more opportunity to turn to the Savior before they face an eternity apart from Him. OUR WORLD IS READY TO EXPLODE We see evidences of a world set to explode everywhere we look. I provide just a few examples of this in the paragraphs below. The election here in America has brought our nation to the point of breaking with ramifications for the entire world. The one claiming to be the �president-elect� has inreality not won anything yet and President Trump remains confident that he will prove a vast amount of election fraud and thereby remain in office. If the Supreme Court should declare President Trump the winner, and this seems at least plausible, violence will likely erupt on the streets of the United States and a civilwar may occur. If there is a lengthy delay in announcing a final outcome of the election and President Trump does not concede, we may see the left attempt to forcibly remove him from office. Joe Biden and Barak Obama have both talked publicly about this possibility,which makes it something we cannot ignore. If Biden becomes President on January 20, 2021, he plans to put the entire United States in lockdown for up to six weeks; an action that will surely bankrupt many businessesstriving to survive from the previous lockdowns and bring economic hardship upon millions who will lose their jobs as a result of Biden�s harsh COVID-19 policies. Iran, held in check by President Trump for the past four years, has already put its neighbors on notice that with Biden in office they will return to their violent effortsto subdue the Middle East under its power. It�s easy to imagine how civil strife in America or the economic disaster following a Biden lockdown could become a flashing green light for Russia and Iran to invade Israel per the prophecy in Ezekiel 38-39. Not only is the world on the precipice of calamity from these possibilities, but geologists repeatedly warn of impending natural disasters in America. They say Californiais long overdue for a catastrophic earthquake. The frequency and sheer abundance of earthquakes at Yellowstone Park alarm many scientists who fear a disastrous eruption of the volcano in the park would instantly kill millions of people. THE GREAT RESET LOOMS IN THE WORLD�S FUTURE Once the world falls over the edge, it will fall into the false security of the coming Great Reset advocated by the World Economic Forum (WEF). In an open letter to PresidentDonald Trump dated October 25, 2020, Catholic Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigan� wrote these chilling words about how those behind The Great Reset will step in to save people and businesses falling off the cliff of financial ruin: The purpose of the Great Reset is the imposition of a health dictatorship aiming at the imposition of liberticidal [liberty destroying] measures, hidden behind temptingpromises of ensuring a universal income and cancelling individual debt. The price of these concessions from the International Monetary Fund will be the renunciation of private property and adherence to a program of vaccination against Covid-19 and Covid-21promoted by Bill Gates with the collaboration of the main pharmaceutical groups. . . . Those who do not accept these measures will be confined in detention camps or placed under house arrest, and all their assets will be confiscated.[i] Does this not sound identical to the policies that the antichrist will enact during the tribulation? The only difference is that he will kill all those who do not worshiphim and refuse his mark (Rev. 13). The World Economic Forum (WEF) hopes to implement The Great Reset in the aftermath of the worldwide emergency triggered by COVID-19. This becomes quite clear from readingquotes and articles on the WEF website. Because of this intent, they have a vested interest in the rising incidents of the virus as well as hospitalizations and deaths so as to create greater fear and the need for lengthy lockdowns that will further devastateeconomies in America and other nations throughout the world. After that, they will offer financial remedies that will sound life-saving at first, but will come with a horrible price that includes servitude to their tyrannical world order. I believe that the WEF postponed their annual January meeting until late May 2021 in hopes that by then they will be able to incorporate a weakened United States into theirplans for The Great Reset. The structure of the WEF Great Reset has been in place for a long time, but the globalists have lacked both the necessary worldwide crisis and charismatic leader to maketheir dream a reality. They now have the crisis they need in the widespread fear generated by the COVID-19 virus, but they still need a powerful leader to pull the world together under the banner of a one world government. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-8 tells us that the antichrist will someday fill that gap. At some point after our departure to heaven, the rider on the �white horse,� whom I believewill be the antichrist, will leap from the pages of Scripture and gallop through the world subduing nations with a message of unity and building a better future (Rev. 6:1). For a brief time, the world will marvel at his charm and eagerly follow him. We may see The Great Reset start to take shape before the rapture, but it�s after our departure that the globalists� dreams of utopia will fully materialize, albeit fora short while. WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN FOR US? So, besides the nearness of the rapture, what does all this mean for us as New Testament saints? 1. The rapture will happen quickly. The beginning of eventsthat will push the world over the edge will happen instantly and without warning starting with the rapture. 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 tells us that the rapture will happen in the �twinkling of an eye.� The day Jesus comes for us will start out just like any otherday in our lives, but will end in glory (Col. 3:4). In 1 Thessalonians 5:3 we read, �While people are saying, �There is peace and security,� then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnantwoman, and they will not escape.� I believe this day of the Lord �sudden destruction� will happen shortly after our departure. The tribulation, which kicks off with the peace accord between the antichrist, Israel, and others (Dan. 9:27), will start many monthsafter the rapture. 2. Evil may increasingly prevail in our world before the rapture occurs.We know our world will soon go through a time of unspeakable evil and distress during the tribulation and that we will be in heaven before the Lord pours out His wrath during this time. What we do not know, however, is how much more of the prospering of thewicked we will see before Jesus appears to take us home. Psalm 37 assures us that God will punish the evil we see around us, but it also implies that we may see more success on the part of the wicked before Jesus steps in to judgethe world (Psalm 37:7). 3. It�s time for the church to wake up to the nearness of its departure from this world.I will not spend much time here because I know that the great majority of those reading this post are awake. But sadly, so many believers remain oblivious to the signs that warn us of the Lord�s soon return. They do not recognize the lateness of the hour inwhich they live. 4. The Importance of keeping our eyes on the prize. Those ofus who are awake to the signs of the times know that a great prize awaits us. I love the words of Romans 8:23 in this regard, �And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoptionas sons, the redemption of our bodies.� Not only will we see Jesus, but He will give us immortal bodies and welcome us into His eternal family. I cannot think of a a more valuable prize anywhere on earth, In Philippians 3:14 Paul wrote, �I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.� I believe we can at least apply this verse to the rapturebecause that is what the apostle ends up talking about (see 3:20-21). The rapture is our ultimate honor. What greater prize than to be suddenly with Jesus in glory with imperishable bodies and ultimate wholeness (Col. 3:4)? The state of the world, combined with biblical prophecy, tells us that Jesus� quick return for us and sudden intervention in this world is ever so close. He may not comefor us this week, next month, or even during the coming year, but on the other hand, He may return for us before we place our heads on our pillows tonight or the sun rises tomorrow morning. If there ever was a time remain watchful for Jesus� appearing, this is it. If there ever was a time to warn those around us of what lies ahead, this is it. About Abuse and Power - By Jim Towers - https://www.raptureready.com/2020/11/21/about-abuse-and-power-by-jim-towers/ The Godless Democrats are doing all they can to alter the U.S. Constitution and our way of life. Through them, Satan has gotten the upper hand in American politics. It seemsthat all the Democrats care about is maintaining power and getting rich at the expense of the American people. The writer/filmmaker Dinesh D�Souza rightly says in his latest book, United States of Socialism, and I quote, �Sure, socialism presents a temptation, the same temptationthat TV evangelists hold out to their gullible audiences. They offer their followers the temptation of paradise, freedom from the normal drudgery and travails of life, with manna from heaven dropping into their laps. This is what they promise too. The maindifference is that the televangelist promises these wonders in the next life; the socialist promises them in this one. The only thing you have to give up is your ownership of yourself, including your right to keep what is yours, your personal autonomy anddignity, and your independence of mind. �In both cases, the enterprise is driven by lust for money and lust for power, the libido dominandi that St. Augustine warns about.In principle, no less than in practice, socialism is the ideology of thieves and tyrants. As for people that fall for the temptation, they are connivers attracted by the rip-off scheme. But they end up as suckers because the scheme is not designed to benefitthem. The socialist scheme is designed to benefit the perpetrators. Viewing themselves as smart � the smartest people in society- they feel entitled to be the ones who exercise power, who tell others what to do.� Going a step further, they will do anything to retain power, even to the point of killing their adversaries. The love of money and power is indeed the root of much evil.(my quote). We conservatives are fighting for our very lives and existence. President Trump is fighting to prevail in the presidential election which could still be stolen from theworking-class American people. I just finished reading a book with the title Abuse and Power by Carter Page. It is about political corruption in our government that runs deep and casts a wide net withits allure and lust for money and power. Carter Page was made a scapegoat by those in power to undermine President Trump�s character and his election four years ago. Carter was only a volunteer for President Trump�s first presidential campaign, but he hadall the right credentials for exploitation. Many others were indited on trumped-up charges, and they too suffered loss of finances and friends � some even ending up in jail. While their families suffered � the deepstate rejoiced in their short-lived victories. Rightly enough, these people were exonerated and set free once the deep state was proven to be allied in falsely accusing the president of treasonous acts � the very same acts they themselves were committing evenas we speak. The Democratic party (since it is a Godless entity) has no qualms about ruining other people�s lives and businesses. They give radical groups license to set businesses ablazeafter they loot them. Worse than that, they keep law enforcement from doing their jobs in arresting them. Because of that, these radicals are becoming fearless to the point of assaulting and even killing the police officers themselves. Because of liberal policies, the American people are demanding to go their own way with no regard for law and order. Pedophilia, abortions, and perversions that even animalsshy away from are commonplace today, so much so that laws are being passed to allow these perversions to become legal. Our political system has gotten out of order, and the rule of law no longer applies. Satan holds sway over our Democrat leaders, and theyare as determined as ever to take God out of our system of government. We believers quote Chronicles 7:14, but since we�ve let God be kicked out of our government, learning institutions and even churches, God cannot bless such a wicked andGodless society, and He will not answer their prayers. Rev. Graham said it over a year ago, and again I quote, �If God lets us continue in the sinful way we are going (the USA), he will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.� Are we near the Tribulation period the Bible speaks of? We all know that the tribulation period is all about the end of the age, and persecution will abound. Well, I believewe are seeing a foretaste of that time period, a time when laws will be turned against the population in force. Carter Page must have felt that he had gone through a time warp in which nothing he said was listened to. This well-meaning patriot lost respect,work, and friends all because the Democrats wanted to retain power by impeaching president Trump. But worse than that, the leftist Democrats are demanding that we kill children (God�s gift to mankind) even outside the womb. Not only that, but they would haveus declare that pedophilia and homosexuality are normal human behavior! Now, because we�ve let the extreme left run roughshod over our nation, God is letting us stew in the folly of our own making. That, along with extreme weather patterns,unheard of numbers of hurricanes and earthquakes, makes a right-thinking person wonder if the Tribulation period can be far behind. Today, the Christian byword is Pre-curser, but as the days slip by with no change in attitude or repentance � things will only get worse � according to the word of God.If that isn�t the tribulation period about to come upon the world, then I don�t know what is. Before the world slips into the maelstrom of the Tribulation period, the restraining power of the Holy Spirit will be removed along with Christ�s believers in therapture. The antichrist in bodily form surely walks among us by now, soon to step into his role. Even now, we�re seeing that our days of freedom are numbered and are fast slippingaway. I would highly recommend that we repent of our sins of self-righteousness and apathy. VISIT: PROPHECY WATCHER WEEKLY NEWS: HTTP://PROPHECY-WATCHER-WEEKLY-NEWS.BLOGSPOT.COM

Take a deep breath and pray

Take a deep breath and pray – Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com Americans are so wrapped around politics and the election that they are beginning the holiday season with tremendous angst. Let us remember the spirit of Thanksgiving ratherthan being agitated by the spirit of politics. After Christ said in Matthew 6:33 to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, in verse 34, he says, “Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” Among all the headlines and the jack-boot shutdowns and the toll-free call lines to rat your neighbors out for having family over for Thanksgiving, let’s take a deep breath and remember who we are and why we arehere. Let us begin giving thanks. My grandfather 13 generations back was William Bradford, co-writer of the Mayflower Compact and eventual leader of the Pilgrims who came to America on the Mayflower in 1620.There were some 102 passengers and about 30 crewmen on that ship that braved horrible weather, disease, and other hardships to come to this new place that later would become the greatest Christian nation in the world. Bradford wrote, “So they committed themselvesto the will of God, and resolved to proceed. In several of these storms the wind was so strong and the seas so high that they could not carry a knot of sail, but were forced to hull for many days.” The trip in of itself to find a place to worship without persecutionwas most difficult. Once landed, it was no picnic either. Bradford says, “But soon a most lamentable blow fell upon them. In two or three month’s time half of their company died…scarcely 50remained, and sometimes two or three persons died in a day. In the time of worst distress, there were but six or seven sound persons, who, to their great commendation be it spoken, spared no pains night or day, but with great toil and at the risk of theirown health, fetched wood, made fires, prepared food for the sick, made their beds, washed their infected clothes, dressed and undressed them; in a word did all the homely and necessary services for them which dainty and queasy stomachs cannot endure to hearmentioned.” “…And what I have said of these few, I should say of many others who died in this general visitation, and others yet living, that whilethey had health or strength, they forsook none that had need of them. I doubt not that their recompense is with the Lord.” Their Virginia Company Charter, however, called for common ownership of land, property, food, drink, clothing, and provisions. Bradfordsaw that this socialist experiment was detrimental to the colony because it inspired laziness and a lack of productivity. Bradford then did away with this structure, giving ownership of land to each person and two days a week for “their own private employment.” This was the first capitalist system and the colony then prospered. These brave souls overcame both a pestilence greater than COVID (for them) and a socialist system (i.e. Biden) that threatened their existence. They survived due to theirfaith in God, their care for one another, and their individual freedom to prosper. These foundation blocks were laid in the US Declaration of Independence and built out in the Constitution as inalienable rights endowed by our Creator—life, liberty, and thepursuit of happiness. The freedom to worship. The right to speak freely and the right to privacy–The freedom to be who you want to be and what you want to be. This Thanksgiving, let us thank God for these blessings and ask for the strength and wisdom to preservethem for generations to come. That this American experiment, now over 400 years old, may be a beacon of the light of Christ to those who seek him.

Day of Darkness Approaching

Day of Darkness Approaching - By Daymond Duck - https://www.raptureready.com/2020/11/22/day-of-darkness-approaching-by-daymond-duck/ On several occasions, Joe Biden has said the U.S. is about to go into a “dark winter” because of Covid. It is my opinion that the Shadow Government has gone all out to remove Trump from office, steal the election, install Biden, lockdown the Church, shutdown the global economy,set the table for their Global Reset (meeting scheduled for May 18-21, 2021), seizure of the world’s resources, wealth redistribution, world government, world religion, mandatory vaccinations, tattoos, tracking all buying and selling, etc., and what they aredoing will send the U.S. into the “day of darkness,” otherwise known as the Tribulation Period (Zeph. 1:15). I am now convinced that there is enough evidence to believe that Trump’s charges of voter fraud are true. Highly respected George Washington Law Professor and Democrat Jonathan Turley said voter fraud occurred. S. Attorney Generals from several states have asked the Supreme Court to review the Pennsylvania election. Federal Election Commission Trey Trainor said reports of fraud in some battleground states are credible. Trump’s attorney, Sidney Powell, said she can prove that millions of Trump votes were shifted to Biden. To test Nevada’s highly touted voter signature verification process, a journalist in Nevada signed other people’s name on 9 ballots and sent them in, and 8 of the 9 ballotscleared the system (an 89% failure rate). Almost 2,600 uncounted votes (about 2/3 for Trump) have been found in the Georgia recount. Louis Gohmert said the U.S. army has seized servers from the company in Germany that made the software for voting machines including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina,Nevada, and Pennsylvania. It has been reported that people with ties to this company include Bill Gates and Paul Allen (co-founders of Microsoft), Nancy Pelosi’s Chief of Staff, Diane Feinstein’shusband, the Clinton Foundation, and George Soros (The company has admitted giving money to the Clinton Foundation, and hiring a Pelosi staff member as a lobbyist). On Nov. 13, 2020, Pastor Barry Stagner posted an excellent video on YouTube titled, “Election Conspiracy, Theory or Fact?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YK43hjYom3s&feature=youtu.be I recommend that you watch it if you have time. This is a spiritual war, the Shadow Government is on Satan’s side, the future of the U.S. is at stake, this war is not over, and more evidence of fraud is being gatheredby the day, but there is a big question about what the U.S. Supreme Court and the states will do when they cast their Electoral Vote on Dec. 14, 2020. The Bible tells us how this spiritual war will wind up, but it does not tell us how many hoops we will have to jump through to get there or how long it will take. Nevertheless, I believe this is strong evidence that we are on a fast track toward a world government, and things are moving faster by the day (like birth pains). Here are more indicators that lead me to believe the way I do, but I am not discouraged because God’s people will not be here (I Thess. 5:4-5). One, George Soros has been described as an evil multi-billionaireglobalist with “messianic fantasies” (anti-God, anti-Christian, anti-family, anti-American, etc.). It is widely known that Soros helped Hitler confiscate property from Jews during WW II. He has been involved in shady deals in England, France, Australia, Hungary, Thailand, Malaysia, and more. He has used his foundations to funnel millions of dollars to Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, the Democrat Party, and others who want to “transform America.” On Nov. 11, 2020, an article by Joe Schoffstall in The Washington Free Beacon titled “George Soros Looms Large Over Biden Transition” says Joe Biden has several Soros peopleon his Agency Review Teams. If true, and I have no reason to doubt it, a convicted felon with an antichrist and anti-Jew record (and “messianic fantasies”) now owns the Democratic Party and is influencingthe selection of people for a potential Biden Administration. This is more than an effort to bring down Pres. Trump; it is an effort to bring down the U.S. Every U.S. citizen, including Democrats that love the U.S., should join the effort to stop it because we could lose our nation. Two, concerning persecution of the Church, on Nov. 12, 2020,Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito said religious liberty (freedom of religion) is “fast becoming a disfavored right.” Judge Alito’s statement was prompted by the fact that the Supreme Court refused to hear two cases brought by churches that were fighting restrictions imposed on their Churchservices. Some governors and officials are imposing more restrictive lockdowns on churches than they are on gambling casinos, strip clubs, moviegoers, etc. Officials in California have ordered Christians at some churches to stop singing. The Bible tells us not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together (Heb. 10:25), it tells us to sing dozens of times, and these officials are trying to limit gatheringand singing. They act like the constitutional right to freedom of religion does not exist, and the Robert’s Supreme Court has refused to hear some of the challenges. It is better to obey God than man. FYI: As Twitter continues to censor Christians and conservatives, millions of U.S. citizens are resisting by switching to parler.com FYI Two: The songs we sing should be Biblical, our singing should come from our heart, and our singing should be directed to God, not the people in the sanctuary. Three, according to Biden’s website, if Iran returns to compliancewith the Iranian nuclear weapons deal, the U.S. will return to the agreement. On Nov. 2, 2020, The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Iran is in violation of the 2015 nuclear deal, Iran has installed advanced centrifuges to enrich uranium,Iran is enriching uranium to a higher purity than allowed, and Iran has increased its stockpile of low-enriched uranium. Iran said it will continue to violate the nuclear deal until the nations that are keeping it grant them financial benefits to offset the cost of U.S. sanctions. Put another way, the plane load of money Obama and Biden gave Iran is not enough, and Iran is still trying to extort more. On Nov. 11, 2020, an Iranian official said Iran will continue to block the access of IAEA inspectors to Iranian nuclear sites. Four, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog, on Nov. 12, 2020,it was reported that Israel is “extremely concerned” about the makeup of a Biden Administration, Iran’s progress on the development of nuclear weapons, and Iran’s accumulation of enriched uranium. Trump replaced his insubordinate Defense Sec. Esper with a man who is more hawkish on Iran, Christopher Miller, former head of the National Counterterrorism Center, andthat fueled speculation that Trump may be getting ready to act. Trump asked Miller and others, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, about his options for an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities, but he decided againstit for the time being. This may hinge on the outcome of the election. Five, according to the Bible, Ten Kings will appear before theAntichrist appears (Dan. 7:7-8). I have long contended that the UN will be divided into 10 regions or 10 trading blocks of nations (EU, USMCA, ASEAN EC, GCC, etc.) with one leader over each region beforethe Antichrist rises to power. These regional trading blocks of nations have been coming on the scene for years. Anyway, on Nov. 15, 2020, 15 nations agreed to make the ASEAN EC the world’s largest trading block of nations. China is the largest nation in this group (sounds a little like Kings of the East) and is casting itself as a “champion of globalization and multilateral cooperation” (worldgovernment). China will now have an enormous amount of influence over the rules that shape the merging of the 10 regional groups. A Biden victory will gain the cooperation of the U.S. during the transition of these groups. A Trump victory will slow the cooperation of the U.S. during this transition. Six, on Nov. 16, 2020, it was reported that Canada’s Prime MinisterTrudeau addressed the UN by video conference in September, and he called the coronavirus an opportunity to establish the UN’s Agenda 2030 (world government in place, up and running by 2030). Trudeau supported the Global Reset meeting that is scheduled for May 18-21 and called for action by the IMF, the World Bank, and the leaders of the G-7 and G-20 nationsat their Fall 2021 meetings. Trudeau believes the coronavirus was needed to give world government a nudge forward, and many world leaders believe Biden is more likely to help advance it than Trump. Seven, on Nov. 16, 2020, Moderna announced that it has a Covidvaccine that was 94.5% effective in their Phase I clinical trials (tests to see if the vaccine is safe). Bill Gates is affiliated with this company, and there have been reports that the vaccine will alter the DNA of those that take it. Gates also wants those that take the vaccine to be tattooed with a Quantum Dot Tattoo that can be tracked and is activated by an enzyme called Luciferase. Gates’ tattoo is not the Mark of the Beast, but it is a major step in that direction, and everyone that takes the Mark of the Beast will be tormented forever (Rev. 14:9-11). The good news is that this vaccine still needs to go through the Phase II trials, and the bad news is that they will be speeded up (tests to see if the vaccine is effective). More than half of the vaccines that make it through Phase I do not make it through Phase II, but we can bet that this one will because the Shadow Government wants it. Eight, according to the Bible, the rain will return to Israelat the end-of-the-age, and the desert will bloom again (Isa. 35:1, 7). On Nov. 4, 2020, Israel got about 4 inches of rain in 24 hours, there was widespread flooding in central and southern Israel, and the water level in the Sea of Galilee roseabout three-fourths of an inch.

'The Great Reset' Is Just An Updated Blueprint For The New World Order

'The Great Reset' Is Just An Updated Blueprint For The New World Order The Internet sure has been buzzing about "the Great Reset" lately. That term has been trending on Facebook and Twitter, and the New York Times even published an article dismissing it as a "conspiracy theory". But it is definitely no conspiracy theory. I was determined to get to the bottom of this whole thing, and I am going to share the facts that the New York Times either could not find or refused to share. It turns out that "the Great Reset" is actually an initiative that was started by the World Economic Forum that is designed to get "global stakeholders to cooperate in simultaneously managing the direct consequences of the COVID-19 crisis". The followingcomes directly from the official website of the World Economic Forum... There is an urgent need for global stakeholders to cooperate in simultaneously managing the direct consequences of the COVID-19 crisis. To improve the state of the world, the World Economic Forum is starting The Great Reset initiative. So the New York Times put out fake news when they told all of us that "the Great Reset" is just a "conspiracy theory", and they owe all of us a major apology. According to the World Economic Forum, "the Great Reset" is a "unique window of opportunity" for global leaders to shape "the future state of global relations, the direction of national economies, the priorities of societies, the nature of business modelsand the management of a global commons"... As we enter a unique window of opportunity to shape the recovery, this initiative will offer insights to help inform all those determining the future state of global relations, the direction of national economies, the priorities of societies, the natureof business models and the management of a global commons. Drawing from the vision and vast expertise of the leaders engaged across the Forum's communities, the Great Reset initiative has a set of dimensions to build a new social contract that honours the dignity of every human being. In other words, "the Great Reset" is essentially just an updated blueprint for a New World Order. The man behind "the Great Reset" is named Klaus Schwab. He is the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, and elsewhere on the official site of the WEF there is an article by Schwab entitled "Now is the time for a 'great reset'". The following is an excerpt from that article... To achieve a better outcome, the world must act jointly and swiftly to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions. Every country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed. In short, we need a "Great Reset" of capitalism. He is very open about the fact that he wants to "revamp all aspects of our societies and economies". That means that all aspects of human activity would fall under his plan. But in particular, he very much wants a "Great Reset" of capitalism. That definitely sets off alarm bells. When people start talking about dramatic changes to capitalism, usually what they mean is that we should move even more in the direction of socialism. According to Schwab, there are three main components to "the Great Reset". The first involves reforming our economic systems so that they will "promote more equitable outcomes"... Moreover, governments should implement long-overdue reforms that promote more equitable outcomes. Depending on the country, these may include changes to wealth taxes, the withdrawal of fossil-fuel subsidies, and new rules governing intellectual property,trade, and competition. Unfortunately, I think that he means the exact same thing that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez means when she talks about "more equitable outcomes". Secondly, Schwab says that one of the main components of "the Great Reset" would involve massive government investments in "green" urban infrastructure and other similar projects... The second component of a Great Reset agenda would ensure that investments advance shared goals, such as equality and sustainability. Here, the large-scale spending programs that many governments are implementing represent a major opportunity for progress. The European Commission, for one, has unveiled plans for a €750 billion ($826 billion) recovery fund. The US, China, and Japan also have ambitious economic-stimulus plans. Rather than using these funds, as well as investments from private entities and pension funds, to fill cracks in the old system, we should use them to create a new one that is more resilient, equitable, and sustainable in the long run. This means, for example, building "green" urban infrastructure and creating incentives for industries to improve their track record on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics. Doesn't that sound a whole lot like the "Green New Deal" that many on the left have been pushing here in the United States? Thirdly, Schwab envisions applying the "innovations" that we have witnessed during the COVID pandemic as a model for "every sector" of society... The third and final priority of a Great Reset agenda is to harness the innovations of the Fourth Industrial Revolution to support the public good, especially by addressing health and social challenges. During the COVID-19 crisis, companies, universities, and others have joined forces to develop diagnostics, therapeutics, and possible vaccines; establish testing centers; create mechanisms for tracing infections; and deliver telemedicine. Imagine whatcould be possible if similar concerted efforts were made in every sector. In other words, Schwab thinks that the global response to the COVID pandemic can be a blueprint for governing every area of our lives moving forward. Doesn't that sound just wonderful? Of course in order for the globalists to get the United States on board with this "Great Reset", they will need to get Donald Trump out of the way first, and they think that they are very close to achieving that goal. The globalists envision a "sustainable" future in which all forms of human activity are very closely monitored and controlled for "the good of the planet". They are entirely convinced that a global system in which all the nations of the world are increasingly integrated is what is best for humanity, but those of us that are resisting the globalists understand that a one world system will inevitably evolveinto a complete and utter global nightmare. Globalist publications such as the New York Times will continue to try to convince all of us that plans such as "the Great Reset" do not even exist, even as globalist organizations such as the World Economic Forum are publicly announcing their plans rightout in the open. In times like these, it is absolutely imperative to think for yourself, because deception is everywhere and those that tell the truth are often greatly ridiculed. Originally published at The Economic Collapse Blog - reposted with permission. This is a really odd time to be having a "housing boom". We are in the middle of the worst public health crisis in 100 years, endless civil unrest has been ravaging many of our largest cities, and we are experiencing the worst economic downturn sincethe Great Depression of the 1930s. But even though more millions of Americans have filed new claims for unemployment benefits this year, home sales are absolutely rocking. How in the world is this possible? Well, this phenomenon is actually quite easy to explain. As our society comes apart at the seams all around us, vast numbers of Americans are seeking greener pastures. According to ABC News, the chaotic events of 2020 have caused "millions of Americans" to relocate. In New York City alone, more than 300,000 former residents have permanently moved to new addresses. We have never seen anything quite like this before, and it is anticipated that this trend will continue into 2021. Even though most Americans don't know exactly what is ahead, I think that on some level many of them can feel what is coming, and they aregetting out of the big cities while they still can. So even though we are literally in the midst of a horrifying economic depression, homes are selling like hotcakes right now... Home sales rose again in October, at their highest pace in 14 years, according to the National Association of Realtors. But a record low inventory of available homes and a greater number of luxury homes sold have pushed the median home price up to a record $313,000, almost 16% more than a year ago. With so many interested buyers and such little inventory, it has definitely become a seller's market... At the current pace of sales, it would take just 2.5 months to clear the existing inventory -- a record low. If you want to sell your home, now is a really good time to do so. But then good luck finding a new place. This incredible surge in demand for housing has also fueled a tremendous boom in housing starts... Single-family starts experienced continued gains in October, according to data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Census Bureau. Single-family construction is up 8.6% year-to-date, with notable gains in 2020 for the Midwestand other lower-density markets. The pace of single-family starts in October was the highest production rate since the spring of 2007. So even though so many other sectors of the economy are deeply hurting at the moment, those that build homes are loving life right now. Real estate websites are also doing extremely well. In particular, "Zillow surfing" has become a new national pastime... Zillow usage has climbed since March, with online visitors to for-sale listings up more than 50 percent year-over-year in the early months of the pandemic. People bond over listings on Discord servers, group chats and "Zillow Twitter," and their obsession has made many strange and obscure listings go viral. Curbed, a website covering city life, real estate and design, recently started a column called My Weekin Zillow Saves, in which people (myself included) share the homes they've admired on the site. If you can believe it, "Zillow surfing" has become "especially popular among teenagers"... Zillow surfing is especially popular among teenagers. A TikTok meme over the summer consisted of users talking about knowing where the bathrooms were in their friend's or crush's house before ever visiting it because they had toured all of their classmates'homes on Zillow. Many young people have extensive lists of saved homes and discuss and share listings with friends. When life is miserable, people like to daydream about something better, and "Zillow surfing" allows them to do that. Personally, I have been hearing from so many people that have either recently relocated or that would like to move. So many that I know are feeling an urgency like never before, because they sense that really dark times are fast approaching. Interestingly, one of the most important things that people look at when they are thinking of relocating is the political orientation of an area. In fact, one recent survey found that 42 percent of Americans "would be hesitant to move to an area wheremost people have political views different from their own"... Forty-two percent of U.S. residents would be hesitant to move to an area where most people have political views different from their own, up from 32% in June, according to a new report from Redfin (redfin.com), the technology-powered real estate brokerage.That's the highest share since 2017, when Redfin began posing this question to survey respondents. Increasingly, Democrats are moving to "blue states" and conservatives are moving to "red states". Could this potentially have some very serious implications down the road? I don't know. I am just asking the question. For other Americans, leaving the country entirely seems like a promising option... Americans are leaving the country or seeking foreign visas in record numbers, according to immigration lawyers and expatriate organizations, during an oppressive year of political violence, racial strife and an uncontrolled pandemic that has kept familieslocked in their homes for months - with no clear end in sight. As the economic suffering in the U.S. intensifies, the number of people wanting to leave will almost certainly go even higher. With each passing day, more new restrictions are being put in place to try to control the COVID pandemic, and these new restrictions are going to make our ongoing economic depression a whole lot worse. Already, it has become clear that another huge wave of economic pain is upon us. The Greater Los Angeles Food Bank says that demand is up 145 percent compared to last year, and the other day people waited in absolutely massive lines for up to 12 hours at a food bank in Texas just to get some food. Other Americans are stockpiling huge quantities of toilet paper and other supplies in anticipation of a very difficult winter. Whatever you need to do to get prepared for what is ahead, I would do it as soon as possible. Originally published at The Economic Collapse Blog - reposted with permission. The Great Relocation: Americans On The Move Because They Feel Something Coming Thoughts on Reset - By Terry James - https://www.raptureready.com/2020/11/26/thoughts-on-reset-by-terry-james/ Sense of an impending something-or-the-other is palpable. That is, something big is up, and is building toward something else that�s monumental. Never, as I�ve said before, have we experienced what we�re experiencing now in this nation�and in this world. There is a great dividing of people on one side or the other, politically and in many other ways. Things, some say, have changed forever with the COVID-19 imposition uponthis generation. And, it is indeed an �imposition� in my view, and, I believe, in the view of the Sovereign God of Heaven. The pandemic came from out of nowhere to shut down practically every industrialized nation in every way imaginable. The imposition afflicted all�from the youngest (studentswho were no longer allowed to attend school) to the oldest (who were told not to venture outside our homes if we didn�t want to die). The great coronavirus imposition was thrust upon America and other nations, and was done so by a conglomerate governmentaland media (national and international) cabal that told us we would shut down, wear masks, and no longer associate with one another in close proximity. Some restrictions have been mandated by threat of incarceration and fines. To the keen observer�and I believe even by the obtuse who are willingly ignorant�it has become obvious that the whole thing has been to bring down a president who opposesthe internationalist ring of wickedness in high places�the globalists-elite who are determined to bring on a changed world order. And this is where we think a bit on the so-called reset that we�re beginning to hear more and more about in these days surrounding the tumultuous 2020 election process. I find as absolutely valid the letter with which many readers of this article will no doubt be familiar. It was written to President Donald J. Trump by a Catholic archbishop. Rarely do I agree with anything of a Catholic nature, but this involves things of geopolitical importance more than with theological viewpoint. This gentleman is right onthe money so far as I�m concerned in his definition and analysis of everything surrounding what is happening while the globalist minions, both human and demonic, strive to bring about another Babel�a global order that is contrary to the God of Heaven in everyway possible. I will use his definition of this �reset� as put forth in his letter to our president. Forgive the length of the excerpt, but I think it necessary to explain. A global plan called the Great Reset is underway. Its architect is a global �lite that wants to subdue all of humanity, imposing coercive measures with which to drasticallylimit individual freedoms and those of entire populations. In several nations this plan has already been approved and financed; in others it is still in an early stage. Behind the world leaders who are the accomplices and executors of this infernal project,there are unscrupulous characters who finance the World Economic Forum and Event 201, promoting their agenda. The purpose of the Great Reset is the imposition of a health dictatorship aiming at the imposition of liberticidal measures, hidden behind tempting promises of ensuringa universal income and cancelling individual debt. The price of these concessions from the International Monetary Fund will be the renunciation of private property and adherence to a program of vaccination against Covid-19 and Covid-21 promoted by Bill Gateswith the collaboration of the main pharmaceutical groups. Beyond the enormous economic interests that motivate the promoters of the Great Reset, the imposition of the vaccination will be accompanied by the requirement of a health passport and a digital ID,with the consequent contact tracing of the population of the entire world. Those who do not accept these measures will be confined in detention camps or placed under house arrest, and all their assets will be confiscated� [The great reset] will be activated between the end of this year and the first trimester of 2021� For this purpose, further lockdowns are planned, which will be officially justified by a supposed second and third wave of the pandemic�. You are well aware of the meansthat have been deployed to sow panic and legitimize draconian limitations on individual liberties, artfully provoking a world-wide economic crisis. In the intentions of its architects, this crisis will serve to make the recourse of nations to the Great Resetirreversible, thereby giving the final blow to a world whose existence and very memory they want to completely cancel. (Carlo Maria Vigano, Archbishop of Ulpiana, Open letter to the President of the United States Donald J. Trump, Sunday October 25, 2020) The letter writer has framed very well the reset, which I believe is a blueprint by Satan himself. I believe they (the minions, both human and demonic) are doing their dead-levelbest to implement this hellish plan the moment this presidential election is determined. And that�s the rub for them. The presidential election is yet unsettled. It is obvious that the Lord is still in the business of restraining evil and unbridled lawlessness(2 Thessalonians chapter 2). The prayers of His saints are a major part of that restraint. The satanic plan will at some point be implemented, and it will eventuate in the rise of Antichrist�but not as long as those who constitute the Church of Jesus Christ remainpart of this nation and world. The Rapture of all who belong to Christ will be the greatest �Reset� possible, bringing in the Day of the LORD and the Tribulation, followed by Christ�s triumphant return. �And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns;and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.� (Revelation 19:11�14) ***Important program; please listen*** This interview with Lin Wood, the attorney who is working closely with Trump attorney Sidney Powell, I believe gets right to the heart of this battle with spiritual wickednessin high places. Believe me, you will be glad you listened. You will have to get past the first few minutes in which he talks about defending the 17-year-old boy charged with murder for shooting attackers in self-defense. But then Mr. Wood lays out exactlywhere it is all going, spiritually, politically, and with the election.

ISRAEL WATCH: 11.28.20 - At a diplomatic crossroad, it's time for Israel to act

At a diplomatic crossroad, it's time for Israel to act – CarolineGlick - https://www.israelhayom.com/2020/11/20/at-a-diplomatic-crossroad-its-time-for-israel-to-act/ The events of the last several days demonstrate clearly where we are and where we are heading. It is critical that Israel take advantage of where we are to secure its interestsas it enters a new diplomatic reality in January Three diplomatic events transpired this week. Together they describe the crossroads before which Israel now stands following the US presidential elections. First, on Tuesday, the Palestinian Authority announced it is renewing its security coordination with the IDF after suspending it six months ago. The PA also expressed willingnessto accept tax revenues that Israel collects on its behalf. The PA has refused to accept the tax revenues since June because, in accordance with Israeli law, the government announced that it would deduct the sums the PA pays monthly to terrorists from the taxrevenues it transfers. The PA's sudden willingness to renew security coordination and accept money from Israel is clearly intended as a gesture of goodwill towards presumptive president-electJoe Biden and his team. Over the past two weeks, the members of Biden's team have made it clear in open and closed forums that they intend to reinstate the Obama administration's Palestinian-centric Middle East policies immediately after taking office. Speaking of the Biden team's messaging, a Palestinian official explained earlier in the week, "We have received many positive messages from the Biden team in the past fewdays. We are looking forward to opening a new page with the Biden administration after the damage caused by the Trump administration." According to Israeli political sources, Biden's team intends to reinstate negotiations between Israel and the PLO on the basis of the long-mordant Oslo accords. The sourcesclaim Biden is even taking Oslo mediator Dennis Ross out of cold storage for that purpose. Ross's longtime deputy Aaron David Miller penned an op-ed in Canada's National Post this week where he argued that President Donald Trump has been bad for Israel andgood for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Biden, Miller insisted, would be good for Israel, (and by extension, bad for the democratically elected prime minister). Miller argued that Israel is better off when theUS places the Palestinians center stage and joins the Europeans in genuflecting before Iran and its nuclear weapons program under the guise of nuclear diplomacy. In 2013-14, Martin Indyk served as the head of then-Secretary of State John Kerry's negotiations team. Indyk pulled out all the stops to coerce Israel into transferringthe vast majority of Judea and Samaria to PLO control and to partitioning Jerusalem. He bitterly blamed Israel when his aggressive efforts came to naught. Now back in business, Indyk published an article last week on NBC's website setting out how Biden should go about reinstating Obama's Middle East policies. Indyk argued that to advance the cause of peace, Biden should pick on Israel. Biden, Indyk advised, needs to force Israel to accept the Kerry (Indyk) plan as a basis fornegotiations, ban all Israeli Jewish construction in Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria, and force Israel to give land in Judea and Samaria to the PLO. Indyk called on the Arab states that have peaceful relations with Israel to reinstate the Palestinian veto – conditioning ties with them on Israeli concessions to the Palestinians. Indyk's advice is noteworthy in the context of the two other events that happened this week. First, Wednesday saw Bahraini Foreign Minister Abdullatif al-Zayani arrive inIsrael for a first official visit by a Bahraini leader. During his meetings in Jerusalem, al-Zayani formally requested to open a Bahraini embassy in Israel and committed to further strengthening bilateral ties between Manama and Jerusalem. Along the same lines, last week, Abu Dhabi's Crown Prince Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed accepted President Reuven Rivlin's invitation to pay an official visit to Israel. Al-Zayani'svisit, like bin Zayed's announcement, indicates that Israel's partners in the Abraham Accords have no intention of following Indyk's advice and subordinating their national interests to the whims of the PLO's decrepit leadership. Indeed, they have positively had it with the Palestinians and their grievance-mongering. Last month, a UAE official referred to the PA and Hamas as "corrupt murderers,"and last Friday, Saudi writer Osama Yamani published an article in the regime-backed Ukaz newspaper rejecting the Palestinians' Islamic significance. Titled, Where is Al-Aqsa Mosque? Yamani's article insists that the Palestinian and Muslim Brotherhood claims regarding al-Aqsa, the place Islam's Prophet Muhammed alightedto in his nighttime flight to heaven, are false. The Palestinians and the Muslim Brotherhood say that al-Aqsa is the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. But in keeping with Saudi Wahabi belief, Yamani insisted that al-Aqsa is in Jarana, a village located 30 kilometers(18 miles) northeast of Mecca. Needless to say, if the Sunni Arab world outside the Brotherhood's orbit embraces the Wahabist view, Arab support for the Palestinian war against Israel will dry up regardlessof who sits in the White House. The third diplomatic event of the week was US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's historic visit to a winery in Samaria. Psagot winery's award-winning wines have made it atop target for the anti-Semitic boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) campaigns against Israel. Ahead of Pompeo's visit, the first by a US secretary of state to an Israeli community in Judea and Samaria, the secretary of state met with Netanyahu in Jerusalem.Referring to BDS as a "cancer," Pompeo announced, "We will recognize the global BDS campaign as anti-Semitic." Pompeo visited the Psagot Winery because a year ago, its owner created a new blend called "Pompeo" in honor of the secretary of state following Pompeo's landmark decisionto renounce the State Department's longstanding position that Israeli communities beyond the 1949 armistice lines are inherently illegal. The Pompeo Doctrine determined that there is nothing inherently illegal about Israel's communities in the areas. Pompeo's visit wasn't merely a public relations victory for Israel and its long fight against those who reject its very right to exist, and al-Zayani's visit was no mereformality. Both visits, like bin Zayed's decision to come to Jerusalem and Yamani's article, are invitations for the Netanyahu government to make the best use possible of Trump's remaining time in office. While fighting his legal battles to against what appear to be gross acts of election fraud which may even have tipped the elections in Biden's favor, President Trump isalso working to anchor and solidify his achievements. Foreign affairs have figured prominently in these efforts. Trump's decision to fire his contrarian Defense Secretary Mark Esper and other key Pentagon officials and replacethem with professionals who share his strategic outlook has been seen mainly as a means for Trump to keep his 2016 pledge to draw down US forces from Afghanistan after 19 years. But it is possible that there will be other consequences to Trump's late change of Pentagon leadership, particularly in relation to Iran and its nuclear weapons program. This week, the New York Times reported that after the elections, Trump considered taking military action against Iran's nuclear installations but was convinced to standdown. It's impossible to assess the credibility of the report but it seems far-fetched that administration officials involved in such classified discussions would share their contents with a paper that has spent the past four years bashing Trump. What we do know from the past four years of Trump's leadership of US policy towards Iran is that although he is not at all eager to fight Iran directly, Trump won't tryto stop US allies from fighting Iran directly. Earlier this week it was reported that Israel is grudgingly presenting Biden's team with its positions ahead of their renewed nuclear courtship of Iran. As Netanyahu andhis advisers prepare for a Biden administration, it behooves them to take advantage of the current diplomatic and strategic state of play to minimize Iran's ability to develop a nuclear arsenal. With the Saudis and other Arab governments publicly warning Bidenand his associates not to re-enter nuclear talks with Tehran, it is a safe bet that Israel won't be alone in its efforts. As for the Palestinians, in his missive, Indyk wrote contemptuously, "Trump's 'deal' [for peace between Israel and the Palestinians] should be taken off the table when hedeparts the White House." Biden's team's efforts to date indicate they have share Indyk's view and fully intend to begin where Indyk, Kerry and Barack Obama left off four years ago. But, as Pompeo's visit to Psagot Winery makes clear, for now, Trump's "deal of the century" which supports Israeli sovereignty over the Israeli communities in Judea andSamaria and in the Jordan Valley is still very much on the table. The leaders of the Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria are calling for the government to use the next two months to normalize the status of Israel's younger communitiesin the areas. It certainly makes sense to follow their advice with all due haste. It is similarly important for the government to restore the decision-making power for planning and construction schemes in Judea, Samaria and unified Jerusalem to local planningboards. As part of the Obama administration's explicit efforts to demonize Jewish life in these areas, Obama coerced Netanyahu into agreeing that every new construction projectin them would require the prime minister's signature to move forward. That move, made under duress, should be abrogated immediately. More to the point, in the face of the open hostility, Biden's team is now expressing towards those property rights and towards Israel's sovereign rights in Judea and Samariamore generally, it would be eminently reasonable, and indeed a matter of great urgency, for the Netanyahu government to secure Trump's permission to apply our sovereignty to Israel's communities in Judea and Samaria and to the Jordan Valley in the frameworkof the Trump peace plan. A good target date for such a move would be Dec. 23 the fourth anniversary of the Obama administration's facilitation of the passage of UN Security Council Resolution 2234,which libelously defined Israeli communities and neighborhoods in Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem as a "flagrant violation of international law and a major obstacle to the achievement of the two-State solution and a just, lasting and comprehensive peace." The Abraham Accords have ushered in an era of comprehensive peace. The two-state solution, such as it is, can only be viable if Israel has secure borders and if the Palestiniansrecognize the Jewish people's national rights to our ancestral homeland, which includes unified Jerusalem, the communities in Judea and Samaria and the Jordan Valley. And, as the Pompeo Doctrine made clear, the Israeli communities are not inherently illegal.Israel has sovereign rights to Judea and Samaria under international law. The events of the last several days demonstrate clearly where we are and where we are heading. It is critical that Israel take advantage of where we are to secure its interestsas it moves towards a new diplomatic reality in January. Iran Deal 2 Jim Fletcher - www.thegodthatanswers.com I'm counting on Sidney Powell and Rudy Guliani overturning the fraud election, for many reasons. A whole laundry list of things will be in peril if Biden/Harris� take power (even though we all know they won� be the ones pulling the strings). One of the biggest threats we all face is the prospect of Joe Biden appeasing his masters in Tehran by rejoining the diabolical Iran Nuclear Deal that was crafted by hisold boss, the Marxist Barack Obama. The deal of course (with the negotiating help of John Kerry) would allow the Iranians to keep working their nuclear program, and enable them to build nukes. That made it all the more odd that Benjamin Netanyahu would engage Biden just after the election, going so far as congratulating him, as if Biden is truly the president-elect.He is not. Yet Netanyahu is also a consummate politician, and was no doubt covering his bases. Of course if Trump remains in office, Israel can rest much easier. That Trump has unfollowed� Netanyahu on Twitter is an indication that some repair must be done to the relationship, and I don't blame Trump one bit. This week, according to the Jerusalem Post: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent a clear message to President-elect Joe Biden on Sunday that he would push back against American efforts to rejoin the Iran deal. Do not return to the previous [Iran] nuclear deal, Netanyahu said at a memorial service for first prime minister David Ben-Gurion. We must keep to an uncompromising policyto ensure that Iran does not develop nuclear weapons. (Notice that even the JPost has joined the media bandwagon by declaring Biden the winner. The Supreme Court in a few weeks will have something to say about that.) Biden has claimed he will work to strengthen and extend it, while more effectively pushing back against Iran other destabilizing activities. An apparent choice for secretaryof state, Chris Coons, has also claimed they will work to ensure there are strict guidelines for the Iranians to adhere to. All that is poppycock. We are now seeing the mask being pulled of the hideous creature known as the Globalist Deep State, with even election payoffs swirling. It's now apparent that the Iraniannuclear deal, crafted with the help of American elected officials, involves payoffs. And Bibi knows who he is dealing with. He's known Biden for 40 years and knows he is a career grifter disloyal even to his own country. Israel would be thrown to the sharksfrom Day 1. Not surprisingly, Iran has already demanded to be paid for financial hits incurred after President Trump's sanctions hurt the regime badly. So Biden would sending planeloadsof cash again. All this is more indication that we cannot and must not put our hopes and faith in politicians. Only the Prince of Peace is worthy of our gaze and our pleas. And remember when you become fearful of the future,our future is glorious, because our King is coming. More than meets the eye in secretive meeting between America, Israel and Saudi Arabia- Israel Kasnett � https://www.jns.org/more-than-meets-the-eye-in-secretive-meeting-between-america-israel-and-saudi-arabia/ The private jet that took off from Israel on Sunday and banked south towards Saudi Arabia may have had some important passengers on board, but no one is talking about it.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Mossad director Yossi Cohen reportedly met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman while U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was visiting the kingdom. Netanyahu was reluctant to admit his presence at the meeting,saying, �I never talked about these kinds of things, and I will not start now. I�m committed to strengthening Israel.� The visit by Netanyahu comes as Israel is ramping up ties with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. Last week, Bahrain�s foreign minister made his first official visitto Israel, and Netanyahu is reportedly going to visit the UAE and Bahrain soon. Why the sudden flurry of activity, and why did the trip to Saudi Arabia need to be so secretive? Joshua Krasna, an expert on strategic and political developments in the Arab world at the Moshe Dayan Center, as well as a senior fellow in the Foreign Policy Research Institute,told JNS that while the common denominator is the issue of stopping Iran�s path to nuclear weapons, other important issues remain at play here. �The issue here is mostly the United States,� he said. �Both Netanyahu and MBS were key�and high-profile allies of [U.S. PresidentDonald] Trump�and made it clear until very late in the game when they, not very convincingly, tried to adopt an air of �neutrality� that they preferred his re-election.� �They need to consult on how to jointly deal with an administration that will be less forgiving for Israel, and perhaps even hostile,for Saudi Arabia,� he said. With Iran the main concern of both countries, Krasna said MBS and Netanyahu �may need to revive and re-tool the joint, active anti-JCPOA political and information campaignfrom 2015 in the U.S. against the possibility of an Iranian and U.S. willingness to return to the agreement.� Krasna said Netanyahu �may have thought that he could rush the Saudi timeframe on formalizing relations, which doesn�t seem to have worked.� �Three countries coordinated regarding threats from Iran� Yoel Guzansky, a senior researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies, was slightly more cynical. He told JNS that Netanyahu is pressuring the Bahrainis andEmirates because he needs the photo op for any upcoming Israeli elections, of which there is currently speculation. On Facebook, Guzansky posted that the meeting between the three leaders �did not occur in a vacuum.� �For some time now, Riyadh has been preparing the ground in various ways for the possibility of normalizing its relations with Israel,and it is now considering possible prices and conditions, and the appropriate manner and timing,� he wrote. With regard to Iran, Guzansky said the meeting �sends a message that the three countries are coordinated regarding the threats from Iran and the possibility of heighteningthe measures against it in what remains of the Trump presidency.� According to Guzansky, Israel and the Gulf states fear that the United States under a Biden administration will work to reduce the sanctions pressure on Iran and even returnto the 2015 nuclear deal without taking into account their concerns, �and therefore, they seek to be involved in any possible U.S.-Iran negotiations.� In a recent meeting he had in the Gulf, Guzansky said senior officials there told him that �we need to be on the same page.� By appointing former Obama officials to key positions, Biden has seemingly made it clear he plans to return, at least to some extent, to the policies of the that administration. President-elect Joe Biden�s nominee for secretary of state, Antony Blinken, has previously said that the administration would likely keep sanctions on Iran in place. However,it�s no secret Biden has been critical of Trump leaving the deal and will likely seek ways to eventually re-enter or re-negotiate it. Based on this, Guzansky believes MBS should take steps to prepare for a Biden administration and should wait before making any further gestures towards Israel with regardto normalization or even a surface partnership against Tehran. �If I were MBS, he said, �I would wait a few months until the next administration enters the White House.� �Israel wants to normalize with everyone,� he added. �We are not the question. The question is what price the Saudis will demand andwhat Biden will be willing to give. I am not sure Biden is willing to give as much as Trump did.� He noted the Saudis �enjoyed an intimate relationship with the Trump administration,� but pointed out that with an incoming Biden administration, �it will be a totally differentstory now.� �Wanted to deflect public attention� Clearly, the meeting initially was secret but was purposely leaked to send a message. Krasna pointed out that the outgoing administration, specifically Pompeo, may want to take action against Iran in the little time it has left. �Perhaps the visit was aimed at a more specific and concrete goal of consulting on the advisability of such an action [or receivingupdates],� he suggested. �In that case, the exposure of the meeting�s existence would make little sense.� Krasna noted that there is also a political aspect at play with regard to the alleged meeting, saying Netanyahu �wanted to deflect public attention� from Defense MinisterBenny Gantz�s announcement on Sunday that he is appointing a committee of inquiry into the submarine issue. Netanyahu is currently under investigation in Israel over three cases of possible bribery and corruption. A fourth case, known as Case 3000, involves allegations of a potentiallymassive bribery scheme around Israel�s purchase of submarines from German shipbuilder Thyssenkrupp. Krasna said that by keeping the meeting secret, the prime minister may have wanted to portray himself as �a diplomatic high-roller while again leaving his partners/rivalsin the dark.� If Netanyahu does make the trip to Bahrain next week, it �makes sense with the opening of diplomatic relations and also serves the political agenda,� said Krasna, �especiallyif he didn�t get quite what he wanted from Saudi Arabia.� Rabbi: Prophecy Shows why President Trump will yet Prevail � By Rivkah Lambert Alder - https://www.israel365news.com/161322/rabbi-prophecy-shows-why-president-trump-will-yet-prevail/ �In that day, I will make the clans of Yehuda like a flaming brazier among sticks and like a flaming torch among sheaves. They shall devour all the besieging peoples right and left; and Yerushalayim shall continue on itssite, in Yerushalayim.� Zechariah 12:6 (The Israel BibleTM) It�s almost as if Rabbi Isser Z. Weisberg has been chosen to unlock Biblical codes related to President Trump, the End of Days and the arrival of Moshiach for our time. Over the past month, Weisberg has uploaded a seriesof nine short videos on these topics that have collectively garnered well over 100,000 views. In his most recent video, titled �Mazel Tov President Donald J Trump on your victory!� Weisberg offers yet another argument for President Trump returning to the White House for a second term, based on Biblical prophecy. According to Weisberg, President Trump still �needs to publicly acknowledge that the entire Land of Israel and the entire Jerusalem was given to the Jewish people. It is not enough that the US Embassy was moved to the westernpart of the city.� Weisberg reports that even former President Obama, who wanted to give control on the Temple Mount to the Muslims, was �okay with Jews retaining the western part of the city because it is actually not even part of BiblicalJerusalem. �Gog, from the land of Magog, wants to take the real Jerusalem and the holiest site in the world � the Temple Mount � away from the Jews. He wants the Jews to be happy with Mt. Herzl,� Weisberg asserts. Mount Herzl, whichcontains Israel�s national cemetery, is located in Western Jerusalem. A PROPHETIC HINT ABOUT JERUSALEM AND TRUMP�S FUTURE At this point in the recorded talk, Weisberg turns his attention to chapter 12 of the Book of Zechariah, which discusses the aftermath of the war of God and Magog. He focuses listeners� attention on the end of verse 6, specifically on the idea that Jerusalem will remain on its site in Jerusalem. In that day, I will make the clans of Yehuda like a flaming brazier among sticks and like a flaming torch among sheaves. They shall devour all the besieging peoples right and left; and Yerushalayim shall continue on its site,in Yerushalayim. Zechariah 12:6 Weisberg asks, �What is he [the prophet Zechariah] talking about? What does it mean it�s going to remain on its site? Is it flying away that God promises that He�s going to hold it in place? �What the prophet is obviously referring to is the nefarious plan, cooked up by the inventor of modern-day terrorism, Arafat yemach shemo (a Hebrew curse meaning �May his name be erased�) and his progressive enablers, includingObama, to move Jerusalem of the Jews away from its actual site.� Weaving Biblical prophecy with current events, Weisberg asserts that this is the most important job left to President Trump to complete. �Trump needs to once and for all bury the ridiculous notion that the fictitious Palestinianpeople, who are simply Arab Muslims from the Middle East, no different from the ones living in Jordan, Syria or Lebanon, are entitled to their own state and that the Jews need to donate it to them from their tiny country.� A second presidency for Trump will give him time to accomplish this goal, ensuring that Biblical Jerusalem remains in the hands of the Jews. Weisberg also addresses the necessity for President Trump to �completely obliterate� the nuclear capability of Iran. WILL TRUMP BE THE LAST US PRESIDENT? In the balance of the 17-minute video, Weisberg responds to the question of why it�s not feasible for President Trump to simply return to office in four years to complete these tasks. He presents a series of calculations,based on the Bible and rabbinic sources, that all point to the same conclusion � that Moshiach (messiah) is expected to arrive before the next US presidential election. According to this view, whoever assumes the presidency in January, 2021 may well be the last US president in history.

End of Life Care

End of Life Care- By Rob Pue - https://www.raptureready.com/2020/11/22/end-of-life-care-by-rob-pue/ It’s very sad when you see someone wasting away due to their own poor choices in life. Quite often nowadays, I see reports in the news about people being arrested for their5th, 6th, 7th (or more) drunken driving offense. And we’ve all seen mug shots of those arrested on drug charges… and the photos showing the progression of someone that took the one-way downward spiral using heroin or Methamphetamine. Those images are haunting.They begin with a young, happy, vibrant, bright-eyed, healthy young man or woman, and each one that follows becomes more and more disturbing. In the end, we see an empty shell of a human being who’s lost their hair, their teeth, their soul. Their skin has become a ghostly gray, their eyes sunken in; they looklike walking skeletons. What follows is either death — from the drugs themselves (or often from suicide) — or torturous drug withdrawal and years in prison. I have to wonder what happened to such poor souls? Where did the road start that brought them to this place? Was their life so horrific they had to “self-medicate” on thesehorrible drugs, KNOWING before they started that using heroin or Meth is almost ALWAYS a death sentence? What would cause someone to take that first dose? What was so enticing about it that they made that decision? Was it mere rebellion or perhaps a desperate plea for help? Were they so wounded in their souls they felt that anything would be better — and this was just a “simple” solution?The easiest choice? Over the years, I’ve personally tried to minister to many people dealing with crippling addictions. It’s sad to say, in almost every instance, my efforts were futile. Everyeffort was made to help, and my counsel was always spiritually focused because drug addiction is not just physical — it’s spiritual warfare taking place within the soul of the individual. If only they would go to Jesus, seek the Lord and let HIM have control… Often they would use their own willpower to try to do that, but they’d never fully surrender their will to God’s. In far too many instances, even doctors would plainly tell them that unless they changed course immediately, they’d be looking at “end of lifecare.” (In other words, death). Sadly, most chose death over life. Life which they could have had in abundance if only they would have surrendered their will to the one and only Savior. “End of life care.” I’ve heard that phrase far too many times. But this message isn’t really about alcohol and drug use. That’s merely an example I’m using that, sadly, I think most people can relate to now, because today, almost everyoneknows someone — perhaps someone they love dearly — that is, right now, on that downward spiral toward death. Many of you, too, have wept bitterly over a friend or loved one as you reluctantly prepared for “end of life care” — at a time when the “end of life” did NOT need to happen. In 1962, the US Supreme Court banned prayer in public schools, using the ridiculous argument that it violated the First Amendment. A year later, they declared Bible readingin public schools unconstitutional. This, in a country founded by courageous pioneers seeking the freedom to FREELY worship God; and despite what modern-day Leftists will argue, our Founders absolutely WERE followers of the one TRUE God of Heaven, Jesus Christ. In the early days of our nation, the Bible — God’s Word — was not just FOUND, but READ, in every home and in every school. The Bibles of our ancestors were worn out fromconstant study and use. Youngsters learned to read in school by reading the Bible. Families endured the hardest of times, suffering through diseases, plagues, wars, natural disasters that devastatedfamily farms, food shortages, the Great Depression and more — but those families prayed together, stayed together and grew stronger. There was a standard of morality in our country back then, and that standard was God’s Word. Psalm 33:12, “Blessed is the nationwhose God is the LORD, and the people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.” Some will say there’s no correlation between the banning of the Bible and public prayer in our schools and the moral decline we’ve been on ever since. But they’re willfullyblind. Once God was kicked out of the public schools, it wasn’t long before He was kicked out of every other area of our American culture, too, from Hollywood to Motown to Main Street. And almost immediately following these Supreme Court decisions in 1962and 1963, the era of “sex, drugs and rock & roll” began — a time of hedonism and wild abandon — nothing was off limits to our carnal appetites. And it left great heartbreak in its wake. Our nation has never been the same. It’s been said that you cannot legislate morality. But you can certainly legislate IMmorality, and that’s been done quite effectively here in the United States. It wouldbe very hard to argue that once we, as a nation, abandoned Jesus Christ and God’s Word, we haven’t been steadily declining — morally, spiritually, emotionally, socially, culturally and in every other way. It’s been plainly obvious for the whole of the 21stcentury — even to those who claim not to believe in God. Everyone can see, something is terribly, seriously wrong in these “United” States. Now, here we are near the end of the year 2020, and in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, most areas of our nation did NOT celebrate “Independence Day” on theFourth of July this year. Because we were not ALLOWED to. How ironic. In fact, we now find ourselves on the precipice of surrendering to a Global communist takeover of our country. In the land God once blessed, the people He once prospered seem ready to surrender to those who are now DEMANDING a Godless, socialist State. So many are under such strongdelusion, CHOOSING to believe the lies thrust in our faces from every direction, every single day, they actually believe that slavery is freedom. And the lies are everywhere. From the presidential election to the filth coming out of Hollywood, to the promises of our elected government so-called “representatives, tothe lies of the “social justice” so-called “churches,” to the lies of the Marxist so-called “human rights” organizations that have been burning, looting, tearing down and destroying our nation from within — and all the while propped up by the lies of the mainstreammedia, which seems “all in” on the idea of surrendering American freedom and sovereignty. Remember the “good old days” when our biggest concern this time of year was which big box stores were willing to say “Merry Christmas” to their customers and which onesweren’t? Now, we need to wonder if we’ll be verbally harassed or physically attacked for wearing a Trump hat — or for NOT wearing a mask as we go out in public. Such is the wonderful “peace, love and tolerance” of the Progressive Leftists, who now seem tobe in full control of the whole world. America is 244 years old. And it seems we now need to sit down and seriously consider “end of life care” for our country. In 1787, the Scottish economist Alexander Tytlerwrote: “The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been about 200 years. These nations always progressed through this sequence: From bondage to moral certitude; from moral certitude to great courage; from great courage to liberty; from libertyto abundance; from abundance to selfishness; from selfishness to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependency; from dependency back to bondage.” Where would you say we are in that progression? We once had great courage. But look at our young men now — many who wear “skinny jeans” and hair gel, and others who go allout and dress like women. “Courage” today is defined as “coming out of the closet as a homosexual or a ‘transgender'” — those who do are lauded as the most courageous of us all. We once had liberty here. But now, we’re fearful to set foot in a Walmart if we don’t first put our masks on. Hard workers once had abundance here. But that was declared “unfair” because those who refused to work hard demanded abundance too, and so it was given to them by government edict. That led to great selfishness;and once the lazy became fat and happy, that led to complacency, which led to apathy. And in our apathy, as we looked to the Almighty State for our every need and wildest whim, we grew dependent. And now we find ourselves in bondage. Or as CNN will explainit, “government-mandated lockdown.” Like the alcohol or drug addict, how terribly far — and how quickly — we have fallen. In 1989, Ronald Reagan, in his farewell address, described America as a “shining cityupon a hill.” He said, “In my mind it was a tall, proud city, built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. Andif there had to be city walls, the walls had doors, and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here.” Reagan built on the phrase preached by Puritan pilgrim John Winthrop. In 1630, while still aboard a ship bound for Massachusetts Bay, Winthrop delivered his sermon “A Modelof Christian Charity.” He said, “For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us. So that if we shall deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken, and so cause Him to withdraw His present help fromus, we shall be made a story and a by-word through the world.” How quickly we have fallen. And how far we have strayed. Moses warned his people in Deuteronomy 8 of this very situation: “When you have eaten and are satisfied, you shallbless the Lord your God for the good land which He has given you. Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments and His ordinances and His statutes which I am commanding you today; otherwise, when you have eaten and are satisfied,and have built good houses and lived in them, and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and gold multiply, and all that you have multiplies, then your heart will become proud and you will forget the Lord your God who brought you out fromthe land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery” (verses 11-14). He went on in verses 19 and 20 to say, “It shall come about if you ever forget the Lord your God and go after other gods and serve them and worship them, I testify againstyou today that you will surely perish. Like the nations that the Lord makes to perish before you, so you shall perish; because you would not listen to the voice of the Lord your God.” The Psalmist warns, “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” The ancient wisdom of our eternal Creator has been freely handed to us, yet we have stubbornly chosen our own way instead. Many today have sealed their fate in that theyhave chosen death over life; they have chosen to believe the lies of Satan. They’ve chosen pride, self, debauchery, always feeding their carnal appetites, which are never satisfied. The prophet Hosea described them this way: “Their deeds will not allow themto return to their God. For a spirit of harlotry is within them, and they do not know the Lord.” No, they do not. But not all is lost — yet. There’s still a remnant of Christ-followers in the land. But now is the time to get serious and cry out to the Lord in humblerepentance. I’m a little tired of hearing people quote 2nd Chronicles 7:14 because it seems everyone has that memorized, but few are willing to actually DO much of anything about it. But let me share it with you one more time: “If My people, which are calledby My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” Are we His people, friends? WILL we now humble ourselves, pray and seek Hisface DILIGENTLY? Or will we, like those who are lost, choose to remain comfortable in our apathy, dependence and bondage? Friends, I implore you… from Isaiah 55, “Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man histhoughts; And let him return to the Lord, and He will have compassion on him; And to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.” Our risen Lord calls to us all, yet today: “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him…” As a nation, America has become addicted to the hard “drugs” of immorality, sensuality, slothfulness, willful ignorance, and we’ve become drunk on the “wine” of idolatrywhile deliberately choosing to forget God. The “doctor” has clearly stated that unless we change course immediately, we’re looking at “end of life care.” The thing is, there really IS no end of life because we will ALL live forever, somewhere. For some, lifein this world is the only “heaven” they will ever know. For those who choose the narrow road to Christ, life in this world is the only “hell” they will ever know. Father God, I pray You will have mercy on us, Your children. Keep us from the evil all around us. Reveal to us the deception and lies of the enemy and show us how You wouldhave us to fight, in service to You and Your kingdom. Let us be Your servants on this earth, and may those who don’t know You see You in us. And may Your will be done in America — and on earth — as it is in heaven. Amen.
