BIDEN WATCH: 9.30.22 - Iran's Mullahs Advance to Nuclear Bomb

 Biden Administration Standing Idly by While Iran's Mullahs Advance to Nuclear Bomb - by Majid Rafizadeh – https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/18925/iran-advance-nuclear-bomb The Biden administration implemented its agenda to revive the Obama nuclear deal after US President Joe Biden assumed office in January 2021. Now, more than a year and halfof negotiations seems to have benefited no one except the ruling and Islamist mullahs of Iran. The endless negotiations seem simply to have bought time for the mullahs, so that they could comfortably advance their nuclear program to their highest level ever.Not only has the Biden administration seen no urgency to change its disastrous path, it is actually redoubling efforts to for Iran talks, presumably after America's mid-term election on November 8. Iran's regime, which has long claimed that it is not seeking to develop nuclear weapons because of the Supreme Leader's reported "fatwa" forbidding such an act, has now changedits tone and is bragging that it has currently the ability to build a nuclear bomb. Kamal Kharrazi, Iran's former foreign minister, pointed said to Al Jazeera recently that "It's no secret that we have become a quasi-nuclear state. This is a fact. And it'sno secret that we have the technical means to produce a nuclear bomb." He added, "In the past, and within just a few days, we were able to enrich uranium up to 60%, and we can easily produce 90% enriched uranium. But what we want is a Middle East without anynuclear weapons" – most likely meaning just their nuclear weapons, not anyone else's. Some Iranian leaders have also admitted that the regime's nuclear program was always designed to manufacture nuclear weapons. Former deputy speaker of the Iranian ParliamentAli Motahari, for instance, disclosed in April: "From the very beginning, when we entered the nuclear activity, our goal was to build a bomb and strengthen the deterrent forces but we could not maintain the secrecy of thisissue." In addition, the former head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, Fereydoon Abbasi-Davani, was the first Iranian official to acknowledge that his work was part of a"system" designed to develop nuclear weapons. "When the country's all-encompassing growth began," he said, "involving satellites, missiles and nuclear weapons, and surmounted new boundaries of knowledge, the issue became more serious for them." Throughout several rounds of the Biden-led negotiations between the P5+1 world powers and the Iranian regime, the ruling mullahs clearly bought time and sped up their nuclearprogram, increasing its uranium enrichment from 20% to 60%, conducting uranium metal research and development and production, and adding additional centrifuges. In June, the day after reaching an agreement to extend the monitoring mechanism of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) by reinstalling surveillance cameras insidesome of its nuclear sites, the ruling clerics announced that they would not allow the agency to see images from the devices. Now, even according to the IAEA, the Iranian regime has enough enriched uranium to build an atomic bomb. The Institute for Science and International Security already warned in 2021: "Iran has enough enriched uranium hexafluoride (UF6) in the form of near 20 and 60 percent-enriched uranium to produce enough weapon-grade uranium, taken here as 25 kg, fora single nuclear weapon in as little as three weeks. It could do so without using any of its stock of uranium enriched up to 5 percent as feedstock. The growth of Iran's stocks of near 20 and 60 percent-enriched uranium has dangerously reduced breakout timelines." The mullahs have also made it clear that they have no desire to answer the IAEA's questions about uranium particles found at three undeclared nuclear sites. The UN agencywarned in addition that the Iranian leaders have "not provided explanations that are technically credible in relation to the agency's findings at those locations... The agency remains ready to engage without delay with Iran to resolve all of these matters." In spite of all these exhibits of malign intentions and more, the Biden administration has yet to change its path or take any tangible action to prevent what the US Departmentof State itself has called the worst state sponsor of terrorism, from advancing its nuclear program and becoming a nuclear state. The Biden administration has even been ignoring a joint statement issued by the UK, France and Germany admitting that Tehran "has no credible civilian need for uranium metalR&D and production, which are a key step in the development of a nuclear weapon." The Biden administration needs to make it plain to Iran's ruling mullahs that if Tehran advances its nuclear program further, severe military, political, diplomatic and economicoptions against Iran are on the table. Economic sanctions, which will cut the flow of funds to the Iranian regime and the terrorist Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, must be imposed as well. The Biden administrationalso needs to stand firm against countries such as China, which are violating US sanctions by buying oil or trading with the Iranian regime. It must be made unmistakably clear to the Iranian regime that the United States will not allow Iran's current regime, a designated state sponsor of terrorism, to arm itselfwith nuclear weapons and emerge as yet another global nuclear threat, in the Middle East, in Europe and throughout South America. ------------------ They Know That They Are Killing the Economy, But They Are Doing It Anyway… - by Michael Snyder – http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/they-know-that-they-are-killing-the-economy-but-they-are-doing-it-anyway/ They know exactly what they are doing. The “experts” that run the Federal Reserve know that if they dramatically hike interest rates it will cause countless American workersto lose their jobs and it will absolutely crush the housing market. And even though those two things are already starting to happen, they just announced another massive rate hike. If there was a school for central bankers, one of the very first things thatthey would teach you is that you should never, ever raise rates as an economy is plunging into a recession. Every Fed official knows what has happened in the past when rates have been hiked at the beginning of an economic slowdown, but they are doing it anyway. Tocall this “economic malpractice” would be a major understatement, and the American people should be deeply alarmed about what they are doing to us. After everything that has already happened, it is hard to believe that Fed officials would continue to be so reckless. On Wednesday, it was announced that rates would be raisedby another 75 basis points… The Federal Reserve on Wednesday raised its benchmark interest rate by 75 basis points for the third straight month as it struggles to bring scorching-hot inflation undercontrol, a move that threatens to slow U.S. economic growth and exacerbate financial pain for millions of households and businesses. The three-quarter percentage point hikes in June, July and September — the most aggressive series of increases since 1994 — underscore just how serious Fed officials are abouttackling the inflation crisis after a string of alarming economic reports. Policymakers voted unanimously to approve the latest super-sized hike. It was a unanimous vote. There wasn’t even one dissenting voice. Have they gone completely mad? Wall Street certainly did not like this decision. The Dow plunged hundreds of points immediately after it was announced… The Dow Jones Industrial Average slid 522.45 points, or 1.7%, to close at 30,183.78. The S&P 500 shed 1.71% to 3,789.93, and the Nasdaq Composite slumped 1.79% to 11,220.19. The S&P ended Wednesday’s session down more than 10% in the past month and 21% off its 52-week high. Even before the rate decision, stocks were pricing in an aggressive tighteningcampaign by the Fed that could tip the economy into a recession. For ages, the Fed coddled the financial markets, but now it is almost as if they don’t even care anymore. Personally, I am far more concerned about what will happen to ordinary hard working Americans in the months ahead. Even Jerome Powell is admitting that “an increase in unemployment” is likely because of what the Fed is doing… “I think there’s a very high likelihood we will have a period of … much lower growth and it could give rise to an increase in unemployment,” he said. Will that mean a recession? “No one knows whether that process will lead to a recession or how significant a recession it will be,” Powell said. “I don’t know the odds.” Actually, we are in a recession right now. And Powell and his minions just made things a whole lot worse. Even Democrats understand this. After the rate hike was announced, Senator Elizabeth Warren went on Twitter and warned that “millions of Americans” could soon lose their jobs… .@federalreserve’s Chair Powell just announced another extreme interest rate hike while forecasting higher unemployment. I’ve been warning that Chair Powell’s Fed would throwmillions of Americans out of work — and I fear he’s already on the path to doing so. This is one of the rare occasions when Elizabeth Warren is right on target. As I have been documenting on my website for weeks, large numbers of Americans have already been getting laid off. In fact, things are already so bad that even Facebook is trimming their numbers… As growth stalls and competition intensifies, Facebook parent Meta has begun quietly cutting staff by reorganizing departments, while giving ‘reorganized’ employees a narrowwindow to apply for other roles within the company, according to the Wall Street Journal, citing current and former managers familiar with the matter. By shuffling people around, the company achieves staffing cuts “while forestalling the mass issuance of pink slips.” So why would the Fed choose to raise rates when layoffs are already beginning to spike? Higher rates are also having a devastating impact on the housing market. This week, we learned that sales of existing homes have now fallen for seven months in a row… Home sales declined for the seventh month in a row in August as higher mortgage rates and stubbornly high prices pushed prospective buyers out of the market. Sales of existing homes — which include single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops — were down 19.9% from a year ago and down 0.4% from July, according to a reportfrom the National Association of Realtors. Someone should start putting “Jerome Powell did this” stickers on for sale signs all over the nation. Because this didn’t have to happen. Now the housing market is already in a “deep recession”, and the Fed just keeps making things even worse… The prolonged downturn in confidence shows the housing market has been “in a tailspin for the whole of this year,” according to Pantheon Macroeconomics chief economist IanShepherdson. “Activity tracks mortgage applications with a lag, and the early September numbers are grim, even before the full hit from the rebound in mortgage rates in recent weeks worksthrough,” Shepherdson said in a note to clients on Monday. “In short, the housing market is in a deep recession, which is already hammering homebuilders and will soon depress housing-related retail sales,” he added. The Fed seems determined to kill the economy. But why? Why would they do this? One analyst that was just quoted by Fox Business is warning that “times are going to get tougher from here”… “With the new rate projections, the Fed is engineering a hard landing — a soft landing is almost out of the question,” said Seema Shah, chief global strategist of PrincipalGlobal Investors. “Powell’s admission that there will be below-trend growth for a period should be translated as central bank speak for ‘recession.’ Times are going to get tougher from here.” Yes, times are definitely going to get tougher from here. In fact, we are eventually headed for a meltdown of epic proportions. But instead of working to prevent a historic crisis, the Federal Reserve is actually encouraging one. The American people deserve some answers, because there is something about all of this that really stinks. ------------------------- Socialist healthcare � Bill Wilson � www.dailyjot.com The Daily Jot receives emails almost every day from people who have been harmed by the socialist healthcare system. Here is evidence from real people who have written me theirheartbreaking stories about this deadly horror show that has been thrust upon us: A & DW write: �Last Sept. our son-in-law passed with COVID. He was in Medical Center Plano. Transferred to another hospital in the area, placed on a ventilator and died. My daughterpassed in 2016 with cancer. This has left our twin grandsons at age 24 without their parents. We were not informed of his illness nor his passing until he had died so had no input. If only�� FB writes: �There is something very seriously wrong with healthcare today. It used to be all efforts were used to help and save the lives of everyone including the elderly.I experienced this first hand with my husband. He was visiting in PA. Got sick. Came home ill�I took him to his primary Dr., but his regular doctor was not there. The doctor that saw him said "you have 3 options. Put him in hospice, take him home and do nothingor take him to the hospital and see if they are able to treat him." How callous. I took him to the hospital. Long wait later, the ER doctor comes to me and says, "I don't see a good outcome for him. He is 91 and this infection is very serious affecting hisheart and lungs" Next thing he asks me is, "Do you have a Do Not Resuscitate Order. I was shocked.� FB continues: �I would have thought he would have said "we will do our best." I was angry and told him I will not sign a �do not resuscitate order� because I don't want anyparamedic or any doctor to make that decision. When the time comes his family and I will decide. If you have a loved one in the hospital, be there every moment you can to be their advocate. I am losing trust in the healthcare system. It was a long road back,but he recovered and is doing great. But if I didn't keep an eagle's eye on his care who knows? I requested a Home Health nurse to help me. She was wonderful!!!!!! We worked hard to keep him going till he fully recovered. Stay healthy. Try not to go to thehospital. You might not come home. Especially if you are elderly.� These are just two examples of many that come in with a steady stream. Ronald Reagan once said, �One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine.� We are seeing it first-hand. This is athreat to every freedom you have because the government has installed the apparatus to oppress you. Let�s face it: socialist healthcare is performing exactly as those of us who opposed it said it would�it isn�t. Worse yet, it has established a prescriptionof fear as the cure for everything. No wonder the pharmaceutical companies agreed to support it�vaccines and pills are more common than common sense. Our wellbeing has been hijacked by government. Isaiah 53:5 speaking prophetically of Christ says, �by hisstripes we are healed.� It is Christ that we should look to for our salvation, not the government. Socialist healthcare is, say it with me�Stupidocrisy. ------------------- Dividing America Plus Red Heifers in Israel - By Daymond Duck- https://www.raptureready.com/2022/09/25/dividing-america-plus-red-heifers-in-israel-by-daymond-duck/ I want to open with a special request: One of Rapture Ready�s well-known prophecy writers (and a great one at that), Geri Ungurean, has health issues thatare getting worse (severe osteoporosis, perhaps collapsing spine, much pain). Please pray for her and her family. Thank you. In early Sept. 2022, Pres. Biden characterized MAGA Republicans (Republicans that want to Make America Great Again) as extremists and a threat to the very foundation of ourRepublic. He said MAGA Republicans embrace anger and thrive on chaos. His divisive speech seems to have stirred up other Democrats. Here is what four more Democrats said (in my words, for the sake of simplicity). •Vice-Pres. Kamala Harris�The U.S. faces a dangerous threat from within, and my oath of office requires me to protect the nation from all enemies, foreign and domestic (inessence, Vice-Pres. Harris called U.S. citizens that want to Make America Great Again �domestic enemies�). •of Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas�In the last 20 years, concerns over foreign threats to America have been replaced by a focus on domestic violent extremists (citizensthat have been radicalized by an ideology of hate, anti-government sentiment, and false narratives). •Mark Warner of Virginia�It has been 20 years since 9/11/01, and the attack on the symbol of our democracy (the demonstrations at the White House on Jan. 6, 2021) came frominsurgents from within, not outside terrorists (in essence, Sen. Warren called U.S. citizens that want to Make America Great Again �insurgents from within�). •Tim Ryan of Ohio�We�ve (Democrats) got to kill and confront that movement (in essence, Sen. Ryan was saying we have to stop Republicans that want to Make America Great Again). •It is common knowledge that Biden�s slogan is �Build Back Better� (weaken America, surrender America�s sovereignty to the New World Order; rebuild America as a nation thatdoesn�t know what a woman is; that thinks men can get pregnant; that thinks there are more than two genders; that kills pre-born babies; that lies about America�s border being secure; that uses the IRS, FBI, and DOJ to enter homes, investigate and falselyprosecute their political enemies; etc.). While claiming that they want to work with Republicans and unite America, some of America�s leaders seem to be stirring up division, knowing that a nation divided againstitself cannot stand. American voters may soon have to choose between Making America Great Again or continuing America�s slide into the sewer. Here are some articles that recently made the news. One, concerning the ashes of a red heifer (a young female cow)and rebuilding the Temple: on Sept. 15, 2022, the Temple Institute (a group that has rebuilt many of the Temple artifacts, trained priests to serve at the Temple, is working to rebuild the Temple, etc.) announced that they have 5 perfect 5 to 8-month-old redheifers in their possession that have never worn a yoke and were acquired from a ranch in Texas (plus one more that they already had; a source that I trust told me it was born in Aug. 2018. If true, it is old enough to sacrifice now). •The red heifers are deemed to be perfect. Jesus qualified as a sin sacrifice because He was perfect (Jesus was without blemish and spot; 1 Pet. 1:19). •Red is the color of sin (�Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.� Our sin is red like scarlet.Jesus bore our sin; Isa. 1:1; 53:6.) •The red heifers have never worn a yoke. In Israel, yokes were put on work animals (works have nothing to do with purification. We are saved by grace, not by works; Eph. 2:8-9). •Ashes signify that the sacrifice is finished. (On the cross, Jesus bowed His head and said it is finished: Jn. 19:30.) One rabbi said, �This is history being made, prophecy being fulfilled.� Another rabbi said, �We are entering days of Messiah� (we are entering the age of redemption, getting close to the appearance of the Messiah). According to the report, the red heifers will need to be quarantined for 10 days; after that, they will be released and very carefully raised. Jews made speeches, shouted, danced in the street, and blew shofars. Ten days from Sept. 15, 2022, is Rosh Hashanah (day of trumpets or shouting). At some point, the Church will be raptured at the last trump (I Cor. 15:51-52). Here is a link to a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxhZPLEPlTo Perfect red heifers (not more than 2 off-color hairs) are extremely rare, but if just one of these red heifers remains perfect until it reaches the age of 2 years and 1 day(it will be counted as 3 years old on the first day after its second year is complete), it can be sacrificed, burned as a burnt offering, the ashes can be collected and used to make water of purification, the water of purification can be sprinkled on priests,and they can serve at a rebuilt Temple). •The water must be running water (living water; Num. 19:17). (Jesus is living water that purifies and saves (Jn. 4:6-15.) •A heifer 2 years and 1 day old is in the prime of its life. (Jesus died in the prime of His life.) •Sprinkling living water mixed with the ashes of a red heifer was God�s requirement for the purification of defiled people. (The death of Jesus on the cross was God�s requirementfor the purification of defiled sinners.) •The red heifer was sacrificed outside the camp (Num. 19:3). Jesus suffered outside the gate (Heb. 13:12.) •Understand that sprinkling pure water mixed with the ashes of a red heifer on defiled people doesn�t permanently remove sin, but it pictures the coming Messiah Who wouldpermanently remove sin, and it sets the stage for the fulfillment of a major sign (a rebuilt Temple and resumption of the Temple services) that the Rapture and Tribulation Period are close. In Dec. 2021, an outstanding prophecy teacher, William �Bill� Koenig, reported on a group of rabbis and others inspecting red heifers at a ranch in Texas. At that time, I think he said there were 18 red heifers that could possibly qualify, but there was an issue: the red heifer that is sacrificed must be raised in Israel. I don�t know, but I am wondering if only young red heifers (5-8 months old) have been selected because they will qualify as being raised in Israel (more than half their lifewill be lived in Israel before they reach 2 years and 1 day). Understand these two things: 1) I believe in the pre-Tribulation Rapture, and 2) I believe the Temple will be rebuilt early in the Tribulation Period (after the Antichristconfirms the covenant). If I am right, the Church will be caught up before any Jews are qualified to serve at a rebuilt Temple, so if they sacrifice a red heifer in the next year and a half or so,Christians won�t be here much longer. Here are four more comments, and I will move on. •My first comment is that the Jews have a collection of religious writings called the Talmud, and it contains the writings of thousands of Jewish rabbis. •In the Talmud, one of the Jewish rabbis wrote that there will be a 1,000-year period of rest (a Millennium of rest in the world) after 6,000 years of history (Psa. 90:4;II Pet. 3:8; Heb. 4:4-6; Rev. 20:7). •The New Testament teaches that Jesus will come back after the Tribulation Period, Satan will be bound and chained, Jesus will sit on the throne of David in Jerusalem, andthe world will rest from war, natural disasters, etc., for 1,000 years. Those that believe this way call this 1,000-year period of rest the �Millennium.� But notice that the Jewish rabbi said there will be 6,000 years of history plus 1,000 years of rest, for a total of 7,000 years. In addition to what a Jewish rabbi wrote in the Talmud, at least 3 famous early Christians taught that the world would go through a 7,000-year cycle (6,000 years of historyplus a Millennium or 1,000 years of rest). Barnabus, the companion of the Apostle Paul, taught it in his writings called the Epistle of Barnabus (Chapter15). (Note: The Epistle of Barnabus is different from a fakedocument called the Gospel of Barnabus.) Irenaeus, a disciple of Polycarp who was a follower of Jesus� disciple John the Beloved, taught it. Justin Martyr, also a disciple of Polycarp, taught it. To summarize, this teaching that Jesus will come back after 6,000 years of history is: 1) In the Jewish Talmud, 2) It was taught by the Apostle Paul�s companion Barnabus,and 3) It was taught by at least two famous early Christians (Polycarp and Justin Martyr), followers of Jesus� disciple John. This is the point: Many experts agree that the Israeli and Gregoriancalendars are off, and a few agree that it has been almost 6,000 years since the creation of Adam (one opinion is 5,990 years plus or minus a couple of years). It is interesting that Israel could have a perfect red heifer and humanity could be approaching 6,000 years of history at the same point in time. •My second comment is that the conditions for the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the tracking of all buying and selling are shaping up at this same point in time. •My third comment is that religious rabbis know that sprinkling the water of purification upon people is the only way to temporarily remove their defilement from sin, so theywant to sacrifice a red heifer as soon as they have one that qualifies, but construction of the Temple with the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount increases the likelihood that some of the prophesied wars will take place soon. •My fourth comment is that Elijah the prophet will come back before the Tribulation Period (Mal. 4:5). We don�t want to be left behind, but the thought that the miracle-working Elijah that confronted Ahab and the prophets of Baal with drought and fire could soon show up toconfront the Antichrist, False Prophet, and others with drought and fire is very exciting (I Kings 18; Rev. 11:5-6). Understand this: The Antichrist cannot stop the animal sacrificesunless the Jews restart them, Jewish priests cannot restart the animal sacrifices unless they are sprinkled with living water containing the ashes of a perfect red heifer, the Jews didn�t have a perfect red heifer for more than 1,900 years, but they have sixnow. We are the only generation that can say this. Two, concerning Covid-19 vaccinations: on Sept. 15, 2022, it wasreported that: Denmark recently announced that people under 18 years of age will no longer be vaccinated. Denmark will now refuse to vaccinate most people under 50 years of age. As far as Denmark is concerned, healthy people do not need a double jab and biannual boosters. Three, concerning deceit, wickedness, etc.: on Sept. 17, 2022,it was reported that highly renowned Dr. Pierre Kory is saying that science that goes against the financial interests of Big Pharma, Bill Gates, and other philanthropists is dead. According to Kory, millions of lives could have been saved by treating Covid-19 with Ivermectin and other potentially effective existing treatments, but multitudes were allowedto die because using Ivermectin and other treatments would have had a negative financial impact on Big Pharma, Gates, and others. Kory also believes that people can no longer trust what appears in famous medical journals because many of those Journals have abandoned their main responsibility (reportingtrue science) and started reporting propaganda that Big Pharma and others want reported because it benefits them financially. They have been putting profits above science, truth, and the lives of people. (More:On Sept. 12, 2022, the Director of the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a letter acknowledging that the CDC gave false information about its Covid-19 vaccine safety monitoring.) (More:On Sept. 17, 2022, it was reported that the death of children ages 5-9 that have been vaccinated for Covid-19 in the UK is 22% higher than the previous two years when children were not vaccinated. So, the UK has now stopped offering vaccinations for healthychildren.) Four, concerning owning nothing during the New World Order (worldgovernment): on Sept. 19, 2022, it was reported that homeless camps are growing larger in some U.S. cities, and the situation is expected to worsen. Some of the new homeless people have jobs, but their wages aren�t keeping up with higher prices, especially higher rent, and utility prices. Five, concerning the coming hyper-inflation and economic collapse:on Sept. 19, 2022, it was reported that several large companies (Walmart, Target, Kohl�s, and Under Armor) have canceled orders amounting to billions of dollars because they believe inflation is going to keep increasing. (More:According to the U.S. Federal Reserve, interest rates and unemployment must soon be increased substantially if inflation is going to be brought under control. I am not an expert, but I will add that it is my opinion that Biden and the Democrats also need tobring their spending under control.) (More:We keep giving billions of dollars and equipment to Ukraine and millions of dollars in benefits to illegal aliens, but the Pentagon has told our troops to sign up for food stamps.) (More:For what it is worth, I heard one commentator say the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve will be empty around the end of this year. If that is true, the safety of America has been compromised, and the price of gasoline will start increasing again.) Six, concerning a 7-year covenant of peace and safety, the divisionof Israel, and the Battle of Armageddon: on Sept. 15, 2022, the Biden administration affirmed its commitment to the Two-State Solution and the creation of a Palestinian state next to (and on part of) Israel �so that Israelis and Palestinians can live safelyand securely and enjoy equal measures of freedom, security and prosperity.� The U.S. signed a 7-year bilateral Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Jordan on Sept. 16, 2022. Under the agreement, starting in Fiscal Year 2023, Biden will give Jordan $1.45 billion per year (But U.S. troops need to sign up for food stamps) for 7 years. This is not the 7-year covenant with many mentioned in the Book of Daniel (Dan. 9:27), but it is moving in that direction and could very well bring the judgment of God downon the U.S. (Joel 3:2). For whatever it is worth, I have read other articles that say Saudi Arabia wants to merge Jordan, Gaza, and part of the West Bank into one nation called The Hashemite Kingdomof Palestine (HKOP). Under this plan, the capital would be Amman, not Jerusalem, and Gaza would be ruled by the respected government of Jordan, not Hamas, the Islamic Jihad, etc. I cannot predict how this will come out, but I can say with certainty that the Antichrist will eventually confirm a worthless 7-year covenant. Seven, on Sept. 21, 2022, Russia announced the call-up of 300,000troops for the war in Ukraine. This may not have anything to do with Israel, but eventually, a massive Russian military will die on the mountains of Israel. Finally, are you Rapture Ready? If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believethat Jesus is the virgin born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this. duck_daymond@yahoo.comc ----------------------- FBI raiding political opponents of Democrats � Bill Wilson � www.dailyjot.com The FBI raid of Catholic pro-life activist Mark Houck in his home has been broadly reported over the past weekend. The chilling details of how a SWAT team of FBI agents stormedhis house with guns pointed at him, his wife and children. It is the latest in what many believe to be politically motivated actions by the Justice Department. Congressman Ronny Jackson (R-TX) tweeted, �The FBI has turned into Biden�s secret police force.Sending a small army of heavily armed agents to raid Mark Houck�s home should frighten EVERY American. The FBI using fear & intimidation tactics to go after conservatives needs to END!!� Democrats have a long history of using the FBI and Justice Departmentfor intimidation of political foes. Joseph diGenova, a former US Attorney wrote in the February 2018 edition of Imprimis: �Over the past year, facts have emerged that suggest there was a plot by high-rankingFBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) officials in the Obama administration, acting under color of law, to exonerate Hillary Clinton of federal crimes and then, if she lost the election, to frame Donald Trump and his campaign for colluding with Russia to stealthe presidency.� diGenova named as conspirators FBI Director James Comey, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, FBI Deputy Director of Counterintelligence Peter Strzok, Strzok�s paramour FBI lawyer Lisa Page, FBI General CounselJames Baker, and DOJ senior official Bruce Ohr. diGenova cited a CBS News poll finding 48% of Americans believe that Special Counsel Robert Mueller�s Trump-Russia collusion probe was �politically motivated,� and 63% ofa Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll believe that the FBI withheld vital information from Congress about the Clinton and Russia collusion investigations. In August, Thomas J. Baker, a former FBI agent with 33 years experience, told The Washington Times that the politicizationof the FBI began under Director Mueller when he transformed the FBI from a law enforcement to a counterintelligence agency in the wake of the 9/11attacks. The FBI recently has raided former President Trump�s home, and has reportedly raided some 50 Trump supportersacross the country using very broad search warrants against election challengers and Save America rally attendees prior to January 6. Harmeet Dhillon of the Dhillon Law Group told FOX News� Tucker Carlson September 9 �I think the reason for this is to instill fear into Donald Trump supporters and to thosewho would challenge election irregularities right before an upcoming election.� She called it �evil.� It seems the DOJ, FBI and IRS are militant political arms of the Democratic regime using broad interpretations of the law to frighten people into submission.These are institutions that use fear and intimidation to oppress and confuse people with misinformation, especially conservative Christians. We have seen it during COVID, during the elections, and now before the election. Joshua 1:9 says, �Do not be afraid;do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.� The remedy to fear is faith. Be courageous. ---------------------------- The government god complex � Bill Wilson � www.dailyjot.com Florida Republican governor Ron DeSantis has declared an emergency over Hurricane Ian. Amidst evacuation and contingency plans, DeSantis had to deal with another distractionby Joe Biden and the federal government�COVID vaccinations. Biden is saying that �A vital part for preparing for hurricane season is to get vaccinated now. Everything is more complicated if you�re not vaccinated in a hurricane or a natural disaster hits.� This prompted the DeSantis team to issue a statement saying that Biden�s remarks were a �strange and puzzling assertion� and that Florida�s emergency management and first responders will help all impacted by Ian regardless of vaccination status.� It gets worse. Hurricanes and natural disasters expose the weakness of governments to do anything to prevent them. They also open the window to just how strong a government is in exercisingits authority to restore order or to demonstrate to the affected population the power of government. It would be no small leap to analyze the comments of people like Biden to understand at least in some modicum of logic how they view government. Here again,Biden is using a natural disaster that affects millions of people to undergird his misguided mandate that everyone needs to be COVID �vaccinated� as a major tool in natural disaster preparation. It�s very similar to using gun violence tragedies to promotegun bans. Another example is the well-promoted propaganda among the global warming crowd that taxing citizens and corporations and redistributing that wealth to �green� companies andinitiatives will control the weather. In the process, the leftist cronies of the green agenda get free money, and the weather does what it does. Speaking about the midterm elections on MSNBC�s Moring Joe, leftist Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said, �We justdid something about climate change for the first time in decades. That�s why we got to win this and as that hurricane bears now on Florida, we got to win in the midterms.� Klobuchar is inferring that the Democratic Party�s climate policy will prevent hurricanes. It takes a really special kind of stupidity to make statements like those of Biden and Klobuchar. Worse, it takes a tremendous lack of common sense to agree with these crazynotions. The COVID �vaccination� does not prevent the spread of COVID, nor does it make anyone immune against the disease. There is no known Democratic Party policy that prevents hurricanes. These kinds of statements, besides being stupid, expose liberal politicians� belief system that government can stand in the place of God. Psalm 46:1 says �God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.� Verse 10 says, �Be still, and know that I am God.� It is the communist/fascist/socialist premise that governmentor a person replaces God. And there are people ignorant enough to believe it. Say it with me�stupidocrisy. ------------------------------
