DAMASCUS NEXT?

We talked about Russia (Gog and Magog) getting together with Turkey and Iran in a tripartite of power to take charge in the Middle East. Syria is an excuse for all three to be parked on Israel's northern border.

So, now Iranian forces launched a live armed drone, and flew it into Israel. Israel shot it down. So, what now? Israel has attacked Iran's big base from which it launches drones and other attack aircraft. This is being treated as an act of war by Iran. 

READ THE STORY

President Trump, after hitting Syria under the suspect claim that Assad used chemical weapons on some target in his own country, has said he wants to hand the US operations in Syria to an Arab nation. He seems to have fingered Egypt. One has to wonder if Egypt would look forward to this as a great opportunity or as a high risk game they don't belong in.

READ THIS STORY

Trump may find that the Arab nations he suggested take over for the US may not want to dirty their hands in the chaos zone of Syria. Furthermore, the Arab nations enlisted by Trump do not have the clout to stand down Putin and his Russian juggernaut. Frankly, this move by Trump to try to pass off the Middle East leading player in the big show of US power looks fishy to me. 

I have to wonder if Putin has something on Trump after all, and Putin has told Trump to get out of town or be fingered by Russia. That is a morbid thought I realize, but the ongoing lust for war by the Neo Cons and the pentagon does not seem to phase Trump. Why the rush for the exit?

Putin has promised to bring the world to chaos if the US attacks Syria again. What does THAT mean? It sounds like a massive cyber attack to bring down the Internet worldwide, or at least in the USA. N US presence on the Internet would be catastrophic. Putin will have to do something forceful soon, or he will be left looking like a buffoon. It seems that Putin has gotten himself deeper involved with Iran, while Trump is talking his way out of helping Israel. MORE ON THAT HERE
Putin is also defending Syria more directly.

At some point I believe some actor in this theater of the macabre will decide to end the whole thing by bombing Damascus off the map. This could be Trump trying to prove he is a hard nosed military man after all. It could be Israel, which makes plenty of sense. It could also be some Arab nation with a different Islamic doctrine than Syria. The hate of Muslims for Muslims is more vicious than their hate for the USA.

So, after nearly 5000 years of existence, the following prophecy may be about to be fulfilled before our eyes.

Isaiah 17:1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

If you have unsaved friends, you need to talk to them about the Gospel of Jesus Christ NOW. Christ could be sent back for his Church any day, and your unsaved friends will be left behind.

Also, to you who think the Pope is the Antichrist, he should be making his move any day to bring an official peace agreement to the world. I personally do not believe the Pope is the Antichrist. He is not Jewish, and the Messiah must be a Jew. Antichrist, in order to take the Jews into his confidence, will need to be of Jewish heritage.

Keep an eye on Jared Kushner. 

FEMALE GHETTOS

The day of the Men's Club has met its match. For hundreds or thousands of years, men have had their gathering points. While the men were sitting on the porch off the general store in Briartown, Oklahoma, the ladies were on the party line phone trading gossip. 

Woman have always had their gathering point, such as the Women's Missionary Society of the local church. But, things have taken an interesting turn. A Finnish lady has bought an island, and it is females only. 

READ THE ARTICLE HERE

Speaking for, I suspect, about 98% of all males, I say, "Have fun, ladies." If you need to get onto an island far away and feel like you are liberated from men, so be it. But, I call you back to reality in any case, for...............

1. You would not be here if it were not for a man who impregnated your mother.

2. Men do the heavy work in your world.

3. You all get tired of your cur dog boy friends or husbands sooner or later and go looking for a well dressed Type A man.

4. Men fight your wars for you, and men either enforce your law or back up some lady cop who does.

5. Men open doors for you, even when you get snot nosed and decline that courtesy.

6. For the record, any man who does not treat you like a lady, in spite of your nasty attitude, is a slob. Very few of us men commend that behavior. Shocking, is it not?

You can bellyache all you want about the bondage of living in a world where men participate in your life, but you are stuck with us. The sooner you pack up the hate and get used to living with men, the sooner you will be a happy camper.

As to you men, laugh at them. Mock them. When they claim they need to escape from men, tell them to see if they can totally get lost while they are at it. A man will fly the helicopter which comes to rescue them. 

I have one last question for Kristina Roth, founder of the nanny island. Did any men help renovate and build anything on your island?

I must add a historic footnote. Ghettos are not places where people are forced to live. The first ghetto was invented by the Jews. The photo at the right is the entrance to the Jewish ghetto in Krakow.

In some European cities, hundreds of years ago, orthodox Jews wanted to live in an all Jewish community so they could feel pure and free of Gentile contamination. They therefore ran a wall, or even a rope, from building to lamp post all the way around their section of the city, and they made sure no Gentile could buy a home inside that walled off zone. This was even done in the USA in the city of Philadelphia using a long piece of wire.

The result was historic. The Gentiles decided they liked it that way. Those who were antisemitic liked it that the Jews were out of their neighborhoods. The end result was that Jews were treated worse when they ventured outside of their personal ghetto.

The moral from history tells me that women will not be treated better because they ghettoize themselves. They will be treated worse. Men, the sort who already have bitterness toward women, will try to drive women back into their self-made ghetto when they venture into a man's world. Blacks in America can tell you how this works.

I rest me case.

EXAMPLE OF THE INTENSE HATE FOR MEN AMONG POWERFUL WOMAN

UPDATE- THE BURDEN OF DAMASCUS

President Trump said clearly that he wanted to get out of Syria a few days ago. Now, Asaad has ALLEGEDLY gassed a group of his own people. Russia says it is fake news, and they may be right. Any of you skeptics who believe every accusation against a Middle Eastern leaders need to remember the weapons of mass destruction that President Bush used as an excuse to launch war on Iraq and kill 1.5 million Iraqis. After the US had commenced the slaughter, Bush admitted there had been no WMDs at all, and it is not clear that General Powell and Dick Donald Rumsfeld made the whole story up to justify war.

So, now Trump is talking about more war in Syria. Why am I not surprised to hear this? Trump needs to curry the favor of the Neo Cons in order to save his Presidency. McCain has read Trump the riot act in telling Trump that he may not leave the Middle East. War is eternal for the USA, and until Trump can find a new place to make war, he will stay in the Middle East or he will get the poisoned soup.

So, what does this mean to a Bible believer?

Jeremiah 49:23 Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet.
24 Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail.
25 How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!
26 Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD of hosts.
27 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Benhadad.

And.....

Isaiah 17:1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

Damascus is the longest continuously inhabited city in the world. It has been inhabited as a city for 5000 years. It is one of the first cities mentioned in the bible. Before Abram was Abraham, when Jerusalem was still Salem, Damascus is mentioned (Genesis 14:15). As we know, Damascus is the capital of the Arab country of Syria and about 130 miles northeast of Jerusalem.

Bible scholars do not know what to do with Aroer in the context of the Isaiah text above. It is down near the Dead Sea in Jordan, so it seems out of place here. The probability is that there was a second Aroer in the Damascus neighborhood.

In any case, Damascus has never been destroyed in all of known history. So, Damascus, and obviously its leader, have an appointment with prophecy as given by God. I personally believe that all the ongoing posturing and saber rattling by Israel, Russia, Iran, the USA, and now China, will soon result in some nation deciding to nuke Damascus. We now have a President who knows nothing about war from personal experience. I have heard him say, in an interview, that the US should never go to war unless we get oil out of the deal. Since Damascus does not offer us war, Trump could be the novice war maker who decides to blow Damascus off the map. An event like this would certainly get the heat of Mueller off his back for a while. 

CHINA IS NOW IN THE MIX

This complicates things for the US Government, but also for the prophecy student. China is not among those who later come down against Israel with Russia in Ezekiel 38. So, whatever China's present role is in the Syrian and Damascus events, China will move to the sideline before Ezekiel 38 happens. But, China's entry in a big way into the theater of the Middle East now adds them to those with a vested interest of conquest at the battle of Armageddon at the end of the Great Tribulation. So, China is probably in the Middle East to stay. 

Also, we now see that both Russia and China need Syria to remain intact to justify their ongoing presence in the Middle East. Rescuing Asaad is not at all a matter of supporting an old friend. That has not been the case with Russia and China. The saving of Asaad is so that they have a viable leader in the area to keep them invited to participate.

Now, do you see why Donald Trump, the warrior of the business world, with no real warfare history, is out on a limb with Syria? He has no idea how to handle this, and the Neo Cons are pushing for more war in Syria. They want all out war with Russia, even if the USA ends up with half our cities nuked.

There is also a very real chance that the Neo Cons are mad about Trump's tariffs on Chinese products, and they want Trump to make a fool of himself with China in Syria. The Neo Cons are the ones who have given China the US market place as a personal possession. 

So, where do Bible believers fit into this picture? 

The Rapture of the Lord's Church could happen at any moment. The destruction of Damascus by a nuke could happen right after the Rapture, and the whole world would suddenly be in a panic to find a peace maker to make sure more nuclear attacks do not happen. This could at once bring forth the Antichrist, the false peace maker. 

The destruction of Damascus does not have to happen before the Rapture, and the attack on Israel in Ezekiel 38 could actually be the tidings from the north when the northern nations attack the Antichrist (Daniel 11:44). You can see that this includes tidings from the east at the same time. This could easily be a double attack on Antichrist from Russia and China. 

And, if you are a Bible believer, you will be gone. 

If you are not a born again Christian, especially if you live anywhere in the Middle East, Russia, the USA, Europe, China, or Israel, you are in for a very hot time. You in America will see the USA destroyed. We are nowhere in Bible prophecy, so the USA will be trashed so that they never get in God's way again.

If you crave some good news in all of this, you need to make sure you have confessed faith in Jesus Christ.

Romans 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.



UPDATE 4/10/2018

My friend who fought with the IDF several times has some interesting thoughts on prophecy. Here is his report on recent talks between Russia, Turkey, and Syria. Keep in mind that Russia and Turkey have been deeply at odds over what to do with Syria, and Erdogan hate Asaad of Syria.

"Iran, Russia and Turkey have teamed up to forge a strong if brittle tripartite alliance aimed at holding ascendancy in Syria, taking advantage of the West’s reluctance to engage militarily in the country.The presidents of the three countries, long seen as regional rivals rather than strategic allies, will meet Wednesday in Ankara for their second three way summit on Syria in a striking demonstration of unity." 

Webb here. I find the use of the word brittle above to be very interesting in that they'll all be strong enough to invade Israel together, yet while the attack is underway inside Israel they'll open fire on one another. EZ38:21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother.

WC

This helps understand why the Neo Cons, and the President, of the US, along with the US Military, are deeply frightened by events in Syria. It also looks like an alliance which could stand down President Trump and scare him off.

This three way alliance could end up solidifying and becoming a powerful block that could threaten Israel. Also, remember, Turkey is thought to be Gomer in Ezekiel 38, and this alliance locks Turkey into the prophecy. And Persia (Iran) is in the list in Ezekiel 38. If this threesome survives and thrives, brittle though it be, we have to be close to the day when Gog and Magog (Russia) starts gathering the mob to come down against Israel. Also, watch for Putin to soon give more hugs to Netanyahu to try to keep him off guard.

If Trump survives the present chaos, and if he comes out "clean," he will be trying to kiss and make up to Putin, as he suggested during his campaign. This could result in Trump getting promises from the three nations above to keep the peace rather then keep stirring it up.

This alliance is the first really historic and prophetic step to the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38, at least in my lifetime. 

WILL CHINA COMMIT ECONOMIC SUICIDE

The media, including some alternative sources, are wringing their hands and prophesying disaster for the USA because of President Trump's tariff and trade policies with China.

These sources are almost all making assumptions about China which are insane. China is really boxed in by Wal Mart and BRICS. How so?

Wal Mart, and all the other big box stores in the USA, are China's biggest foreign export markets. If China adds more tariffs to American exports to China, Trump can double down and put tariffs on every toaster and broom in Wal Mart. This would be highly destructive to China. So, forget about China doing a lot more tariffs on US exports to China.

And, these news sources tell us about China selling off their Treasury Paper. This would definitely hurt the US because it would devalue any attraction left to other nations to buy our debt. But (You are still free to use you brain in America), those Treasury Paper notes are the most powerful weapon China has against the US. If they dump them, it would be like destroying all their nukes. The weapon would be gone, and Trump might even forbid the US Treasury to ever again sell debt notes to China, thus blocking China from playing that game in the future. China will not sell off US Treasury Paper. They may sell a portion, hoping Trump will panic, but this business man has stared down many powerful adversaries in his career. He will play an Ace from between his knees.

Now, the news sources also tell us China will devalue their currency, the Yuan. Not a chance. China is desperate to be the world's reserve currency. If they devalue the Yuan, the world, especially BRICS, will see China as in trouble with its currency, and they will be terrified to hold Yuan in their national portfolios, let alone trade in Yuan. It would be the same effect as if the US devalued the dollar.

So, what is China doing? They are waving their weapons in the air and sending an aircraft carrier to the South China Sea and talking about starting shooting. When Communist Block nations start talking about starting a real war and shooting at us we know they have lost face in some area. China is looking very foolish.

Why?

Answer: The whole world knows China is dumping in order to destroy US industry. China is subsidizing their industries in order for the companies to greatly under price against US commerce, and even against world manufacturers. China also pays their workers like slaves. The world has seen the stories, and China is now having to eat their surplus of junk they have under priced. China is the world's most treacherous "loss leader" nation. So, China has lost face with the whole world as Trump has put the hammer to them.

Prediction: Xi will soon come to Trump with his hat in his hand begging for mercy. Trump will throw the dog a bone and let him save face with a small tariff decrease. Trump will also make a clear threat that if China does not back off on their dumping, he will put the tariffs right back.

Xi will end up bowing to Trump as Chinese industry takes a dive because of these tariffs for one simple reason. Xi has just convinced the Chinese leaders to make him dictator for life, and an economic war lost right now would give them second thoughts.

And, that is how I see it on April 9, 2018. We all have issues with Trump in certain areas, but this China trick is working just fine for Trump. And, it is good for America. It is a very big farce to see the Liberal media complaining about a decision which has put thousands of Americans back to work and brought US companies back home. This shows the mindless hate in the Liberal press. They would rather have to step over the homeless every day than see Trump win a round.

BEULAH LAND

Does it seem like some people in the shadows are destroying your world?

If you have confessed Jesus as your Savior, you have another land to look forward to, a land where King Jesus will rule for 1000 years...... BEULAH LAND

FAKE NEWS ABOUT WOMEN

Anyone who has lived in America for over 60 years knows that women need other women as friends. They can get crazy and have fun in a way that is very different from their times with their husbands or kids. This is true in secular circles, and it is true in the Lord's Church. 

The ladies' missionary society is a classic illustration. These ladies can talk about things that their husbands find boring or "off topic" to their own lives. The Amish are a great example. The wives get together and do hand work and trade stories and basically let their hair down. This characteristic in women, having lady friends, is ancient.

So, the following article is a lot of rubbish talk. Someone has found a way to do a research on women in which the outcome was predictable. The questions were undoubtedly loaded in the direction of feminist thinking of course, so this historic aspect of women's lives is translated into a premise that husbands are failures. This is exactly what we would expect from feminazis, and the media grabs the myth and runs with it.

READ THE ARTICLE

Any smart husband knows that his wife needs women friends to keep her balance in life. A wise husband will encourage his wife to make lady friends. What is totally missing here is a survey of husbands whose wives have lady friends to see how this actually makes them better wives and more interesting to their husbands.

The assumption from damned-to-Hell feminists is that husbands are again being mindless and uninteresting brutes. Men need to repent and start watching soap operas and reading Harlequin novels so they can have a lady-man session with the wives.

The irony is, men do the same thing. Men have male friends with whom they roar and have fun because they need the iron-sharpeneth-iron experience. Men need to go fishing and hunting with other men to have a balanced personality.

So, let's have no more of this blather, bluster, and bull about husbands letting the world down because their wives need lady friends. When you hear this rubbish, slap it down with a vengeance. The only thing that could come from this is for decent women to feel guilty because they have women friends whom they need to be socially balanced. What a wicked world it would be if women all decided they did not want to have other women for friends. 

If you men are nervous about what your wife talks about with other women, ask your wife not to discuss your intimacies with her lady friends. Talk about this instead of worrying about it. And, you men do the same courtesy with your wife when you are with your man friends.

You men also need to help your wife find time and geography opportunities to be with other women, whether in groups or one on one.

You women who avoid other women, especially in the local church, are not balanced in your life. You single women who have man friends instead of women friends are fools. Virtually all of those men are just waiting for you to crack the door open to intimacy. None of those male friends are just interested in you intellectually or spiritually. That is the way God made men. They are looking for the woman they are meant to marry, and some of those men are plainly looking for any woman they can lead to bed. And, this happens at the First Baptist Church of Saint Innocent. 

I am even talking about Christian women who have a friendship with their pastor. If he participates in this, he is getting ready to take you to bed. A godly pastor has only male friends. He lets his wife be the friend of the ladies in the local church. Any other arrangement is polygamy and adultery.

In nearly every local church in America is a man who is tired of the whores he has been chasing and bedding down, and he is looking for a godly Christian girl to finally marry and settle down. Let me tell you a secret, dear lady..... That dude will run out on you within thirty days of marrying you. I suggest you get close to a couple of God fearing woman to whom you can be accountable. Other ladies, who care about their lady friends, will warn them when they are about to befriend a mad dog.

The bottom line is this..... Stop letting the media define who you are and who is important in your life. Let God the Holy Spirit do that for you by getting into the Bible, and stay close to a Bible preaching church. And, do make a friend of an older godly woman in the church who is walking righteously with the Lord.

Titus 2:3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

Women..... If any woman friend of yours teaches you to be unlike the qualities seen in verses 4-5, shuck them off at once. A good friend will send you down the road to be a biblical woman.

FIVE THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER DO

These come from a hick preacher from Kentucky and myself. I admit that these "never do" items are colored by my experience in life, but I suspect you will learn something from this blog post that will help you stay out of trouble.

Number One- Never assume you know everything there is to know about anyone.
There are no experts. When you hear and expert on any topic, understand that he has inhaled the incense of a fool if he really believes he is an expert. 

Example: My wife and I lived through a Marxist coup in Ethiopia. The new regime was known to be Communist and Marxist, after a couple of days. We learned later from the American ambassador that Henry Kissinger sent millions of dollars and fighter jets to the new regime to curry favor with them. This usually works, but Henry was dead wrong this time. He got nothing but trouble for his diplomatic trick. This is because Henry does NOT know everything, and in this case, he did not understand the mind of Ethiopians. 

When you hear a preacher called "the answer man," he ain't. The answer man implies the guy can answer any question from the Bible. Understand at once that he has his own presuppositions, and one of them is that he has all the answers. He cannot be right all the time because he did not inspire the Bible..... God the Holy Spirit did. The best teachers are the ones who regularly say, "I am not sure what that means," or, "I will look into that and get back to you."

Always allow that your information on any topic, person, or situation is defective, and be ready to accept new information or advice from new sources. Make changes in your dealing with the thing accordingly. If you were wrong, admit it to those you work with, but most importantly, admit it to yourself. If you do not do this, you will become a self-deluded pest to society and to the Lord's Church.


Number Two- Never allow yourself to be disarmed.
This usually applies to weapons like guns or mace. But, to a Bible believer it means to never be without the Word of God as a weapon to do combat with the devil and his helpers. Here is the way to "carry" for a Bible believer:

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

In dealing with the devil or troublesome people, the Bible will cut through the rubbish information and get you to the solution and the answer every time. But, you must have it in your mind.

Psalms 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

God has chosen to send you into combat spiritually and intellectually. There are people you will deal with who are hand picked by Satan to destroy Bible believers. You need to be full of the preparation of the Gospel. The Bible is called the Sword of the Spirit for a reason..... you are in warfare with the wicked, and God plans on you winning by his strength and his Word.

As to the issue again of carrying a gun or other weapon, there are some options that will work if you cannot carry a gun. Pepper spray is useful, but an easy one is pharmaceutical grade ammonia in a spray container. Just do not aim for the eyes. Hit the threatening person or dog in the chest or lower face. The fumes will incapacitate them.


Number Three- Never get on the bus.
The bus could be going to a FEMA camp some day, and you will be told, "Just get on the bus, and we will take you where people are ready to take care of your every need." When the government offers to take care of you, you are a blithering idiot to believe there are no strings attached. You are a fool to believe they really care about you.

The same applies to the bus to a Gothard rally or some seminar where a Christian guru is going to make you into a better Christian. When you are told that the only way to have victory in your life is to ride a bus clear across the state to some rally, you are a fool to leave the local church where the Holy Spirit said that Christ would build his Church.

This applies to any self-improvement program or presentation. If there is a guru involved, it is not of the Lord Jesus Christ. Who has God given you to teach and help you in the Christian life?

Answer: People with spiritual gifts in the local church.

Ephesians 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

If your local church does not seem to have such people it is because you are in a crippled or heretical church. Move along until you find edifying men in a local church, and stay there. God has given you the power of the will and of choice. It is up to YOU to refuse the invitations to get in line and obey other people. 


Number Four- Never stop improving your life or situation.
If you grow a garden you know about this very well. Any serious gardener is always listening and reading to see if he can get better results from the soil, seed, watering, or any other gardening choices. 

If you are in a self-defense situation, and you are hiding behind an object from an approaching enemy, can you improve your chances of winning the battle? Can you put the enemy under terror in some way.

Example: During the Mau Mau uprising in Kenya in the 1950s, a team of African soldiers were chasing several Mau Mau through the forest, The Mau Mau were keeping ahead of the soldiers, but they came to a steep hill. If they climbed the hill, they would escape, so one soldier stood and yelled, "Stay where you are, they are coming up to you now." This panicked the Mau Mau because they thought another group of soldiers were at the top of the hill hiding. The Mau Mau turned and ran into an area where they could be caught.

When you are in combat with Satan or his servants, anything you can do to improve your chances of defending yourself, your family, or your Christian friends must be added to the ongoing battle strategy. 

Example: In a church I pastored, I decided to start attending all the public school board meetings of the public school nearby. I wanted to know what was going on and register my opinions from the perspective of a Bible believer. This went on for a while, and the school board got to dread seeing me in the audience. The board meetings were on Thursday evening, so they changed them to Wednesday evening because they knew I had to lead Wednesday evening prayer meeting and Bible study. So, our church changed prayer meeting to Thursday evening so that I could go to the school board meetings. The board gave up on trying to escape from me. 

Keep your position in the Christian warfare improving so that you have the high ground in Christ. Your knowledge of the Bible is never good enough. Keep studying it. Your knowledge of the tactics of the devil must be improving. I know preachers who claim they learn nothing about the cults and false religions. They just rely on the Bible. God cannot use the man who refuses to learn the tactics of the enemy.

1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

How do we learn about our adversary? Watch what he does to brethren in the world. How does he attack other people, and what do his servants teach those who are deceived?

Finally, never start coasting in your earthly vocation. If you have a job where you are very much needed by your company, do not become complacent my friend. Find ways to keep doing your job better. There is someone hanging around nearby who wants you job, and he better not be better than you at it if you can possibly help it.
Number Five- Never quit. People quit because they get discouraged. They get discouraged because they lose their confidence. This may be confidence in God, in your spouse, or in people in general. 

Hebrews 10:35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

Patience is usually missing when someone wants to quit. There are always reasons to quit because life has a way of going wrong from time to time.

Example: Have you ever watched a stock car race, and you wonder why the guy in last place keeps driving? He has virtually no chance to win.

Kyle Larson was last in the starting field at this NASCAR race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, starting in 39th place. He fought his way to win second place in the end. At any point along the way no one would have blamed him for losing his fighting spirit as he had to pass 37 other cars to get his win. SEE THE END OF THE RACE

In the race of life, God has no second or third place in mind for his children. Everyone is considered a winner according to the Apostle Paul:

Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

As one man said, "Lead, follow, or carry ammo." You are never out of the battle with Christ. He has no plans for you to be defeated.

Never say, "Quit."

UPDATED- MICROWAVE, WI-FI, AND YOUR HEALTH

UPDATE IS AT THE END.

This is a topic which is almost totally avoided by official government health and safety agencies. The reason is obvious. The whole world is connected and functioning in such a way that reversing the connectivity technology to the point that it is safe would rip the whole thing to bits.

Thus, information on WI-FI and microwave, of which the atmosphere all around us is saturated, is hard to find.Those who do the research on this subject are seldom placed in front of a mic to discuss their findings. This is all because of self-interest by all the news media and officials who need the ongoing technology to keep right on functioning.

This paper was buried or destroyed by the police authorities, and Tetra was put in use and required by policemen. One of the police salvaged the report and published it. Thus, the cat is out of the bag on weaponized microwave.

ONE HOUR INTERVIEW OF BARRIE TROWER

THIS IS THE MOST EXHAUSTIVE INTERVIEW OF TROWER
You will hear horror stories on this one. You will learn why the people who know about this danger will not talk. You will also be able to figure out why official statements of safety are totally bogus in most cases. You also learn that there are very few defense devices or plans which can be depended on to protect you. You learn that forty five to fifty nations are targeting Americans for many reasons.


There it is. Decide what to do about this. Your kids may be genetically changed if you do nothing. You may be driven to do things and buy things by unscrupulous people. If you want to diminish the level of electromagnetic energy around you and your family, Google it, and learn what to do. It is all there. 

A minimum effort would involve placing WI FI in your home at a distance from where you sit and use the computer. Keep it away from your kids. Turn it off at night and when you are not using it. If possible, move to a property where your home is over 150 feet from the fence, and have a locked gate.

You need to understand that every email and phone call may be recorded by up to fifty nations. All of your Internet use is being logged by these people also.

If you are approached with a blackmail threat, go at once to the FBI, and tell them the story so that the threat is defused to the attacker. If it involves you breaking the law and being blackmailed on that basis, you still need to open the thing up so that you are not owned by evil men.

Determine before being attacked that you will stand on your convictions at a Bible believer. This will give you a mental defense against attack.

Home school your children so that you can build a space you feel is safe for them to learn in.

Be very careful who you make for an enemy. It better be only for the Gospel's sake. Understand that people you cannot get at can decide your fate in all issues regarding technology.

Forget about what is legal for the US Federal Government to do. They will do what they wish, and they will target anyone they want to.

Understand that the business world is far more likely to target you than the government. They want to make money, and any way they can influence you to buy is considered fair game by the business world.

If you are twenty years of younger, you will live in the USA when it is totally dysfunctional. America will be populated by foreigners who will dominate all American life.
