YOU ARE STILL BEAUTIFUL.....

I am distracted these days. Home alone, and not enjoying it. God is here though, and Jesus talks to me through his Word. 

If your love is still with you, tell them you love them before they are gone.

THE EASTER FOOL AND THE EASTER HERO

THE EASTER FOOL

This pastor is not a servant of Jesus Christ. He is a beast, and servant of Satan. He is in total violation of the Word of God where he is told to submit to those in authority because they are given to us by God himself (Romans 13). Pray that God will strike this pastor down. He is murdering people by playing games with their minds and their faith so that they will expose themselves to the virus.

This pastor is a BASTARD. Here is the proof.

Hebrews 12:7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

Because this pastor is not being chastened by God, we may assume he is a bastard, not a son of God.



THE EASTER HERO

It has to be terrifying to spend day after day in a white hot infection area like the ICU of any hospital where the Cornoavirus is being treated. There must be many more nurses and doctors who have very tired souls and tormenting emotions when no one is looking. And, the pressure to save just one more patient is constant. This is the world of a full blown epidemic. This sort of thing usually never happens in America. It is supposed to be the plight of only Africa or Asia. But, here it is in our home town, and it will not go away soon.

The most deadly thing in such a time is fear. We must not give way to living in perpetual fear. Fear makes us all do frantic things and do harm to one another. Our leaders who give way to fear become deadly like mad dogs. They have the power to destroy the nation, and they do not have the personal strength to control themselves.

Psalms 37:34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

GUATEMALA POLICE PREACHING THE GOSPEL

This is astounding. This is also impossible to imagine in America. Perhaps our huge number of Covid cases are because America will not repent as Italy and Guatemala and other nations have.

SILENTLY, WITHOUT HASTE, COMES THE SHADOW OF FEAR

Very softly down the glade runs a waiting, watching shadow,
And the whisper spreads and widens far and near;
And the sweat is on thy brow, for it passes even now.....
It is Fear, O trembling one, it is Fear. 

Adapted from Rudyard Kipling

Fear.....

It devours our peace, and it tempts us to lose faith in God.

Research tells us that fear and anxiety can turn a light case into a deadly one.

Sadly, many people fill the Internet with fear and seem to gloat at the thought of causing their audience to lose hope.

If we let these predators destroy our peace, we have no one to blame but ourselves.

Just stop clicking on the links.

Matthew 6:34 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.

Jesus

DAY BY DAY
Don't be shy, whether alone or with friends, please sing along. 

1	Day by day, and with each passing moment, Strength I find to meet my trials here; Trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment, I’ve no cause for worry or for fear. He, whose heart is kind beyond all measure, Gives unto each day what He deems best, Lovingly its part of pain and pleasure, Mingling toil with peace and rest.
2	Every day the Lord Himself is near me, With a special mercy for each hour; All my cares He fain would bear and cheer me, He whose name is Counsellor and Pow’r. The protection of His child and treasure Is a charge that on Himself He laid; “As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,” This the pledge to me He made.
3	Help me then, in every tribulation, So to trust Thy promises, O Lord, That I lose not faith’s sweet consolation, Offered me within Thy holy Word. Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting, E’er to take, as from a father’s hand, One by one, the days, the moments fleeting, Till with Christ the Lord I stand.

GOOD NEWS

Italians are turning in desperation to Jesus Christ for deliverance. And, the video is of all men, kneeling and praying for help from God. Could you ever imagine this happening unless God had allowed the virus to devastate Italy?

Caitlin Johnstone of Medium.com on surviving the epdemic

I have long thought that it would be awesome if the world could just take a nap for a minute. Capitalism is built around the glorification of busyness. We’re going to find out how many jobs we can do from home, how many jobs are only busywork, how many jobs we can comfortably consolidate or do without completely, and how many jobs are actually harmful. A big chunk of jobs have nothing to do with feeding, housing or caring for us, and everything to do with persuading people that they are deficient in some imaginary way and require this placebo tonic snake-oil to make us better again. Religion is one such job. Advertising, marketing, and most media are others. If we redesign the economy, we could do away with those altogether and have all that creative effort go toward healthy things.

Primarily though, we all need a big rest from constantly doing such soul-draining things. Having to do this while under the worry that we won’t be able to pay our rent and bills is not ideal, but do as my Mum always says — worry about the things you can change, and for the things you can’t change right now, leave them for the birds. Leave the bills for the birds for now. We will work out something; we always do. But for now, you are safe and you have everything you need. Notice that. Once you’ve established that you’re solid in this moment at least, take this time to really dig as deeply in to relaxation as you can. Watch some stand-up and get yourself laughing, sing to some youtube karaokes, nap often and deeply, take showers and baths, really taste your food and enjoy your breath, yawn and stretch and cuddle and shake it all out. Forget about cleaning out the cupboards or learning that instrument or reading that book or whatever cute thing you decided you really should do now that you have the time — let your animal body lead the way, and give your brain a rest from all the shoulds and shouldn’ts. You’re fine just to do nothing at all. Sink in to that.

Your uncle Steve adds some thoughts.

Do you really believe this verse should be in the Bible?

Psalms 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

It is taught that being still is evil in most churches. We are hammered to keep busy for the Lord, win souls, if you don't do your part, millions will go to Hell.

I have news for you. Jesus never once said to his disciples, "Hurry up guys, we need to get moving." Jesus was NEVER in a hurry. He came to save the world from sin and damnation, and he did it at a stroll.

And, your panic over not being able to go to church and join the herd........ Your truly born again friends are also at home. Call them, and fellowship. You could go drop off a dish of food on the doorstep of someone in quarantine. Call them by phone of course after you leave it so they know it is there.

Christianity is not a religion..... It is a way of life. Religion has been shut down in America, and it is the best thing to happen to this nation in many years. Maybe some real Christians will find a way to glorify God from home. We have all gotten used to having our weekly dose in a large glorious piece of real estate, and that is NOT where the Church in the New Testament met. The Church of the Apostle Paul met in homes.

And, all of those employees of your religion who produce the big show on Sunday morning...... It was time for them to also go home and see if they could be a real Christian between Sundays. Stop feeling sorry for them. Just don't let your pastor starve please.

Finally, take a walk. Avoid people of course, but if you have a place to walk, go walk. Get the sun for Vitamin D, a very useful way to lift your immune system. Cook things you never cook, like dry beans, bake bread, and use the grill more. Roast your own coffee. Order the green beans online. Bake cookies. There are many things you have not done in years because you have become so busy out grabbing dollars.

Oh, and do keep your powder dry friend. If food shortages get severe, there will be lawless people out roaming about.

Finally, someone you know is very depressed. They are looking at no paycheck, and they have all their kids at home all day. What can you do to take some of the load off? Can you call each one of the kids and chat or play a word game on the phone? Can you look up a Bible verse every day that will encourage the Mom? How about starting a pun contest with the kids, and give awards for the best pun of the day? Do this on the phone or in Google Hangouts.

Control bad news. Try to talk to friends on the phone without passing on bad news. Give ideas for survival and where to find food and deals, but stop taking your friends down with more bad news. Limit Drudge Report to one visit per day, and do not part there for hours.

God allowed a virus to turn our lives upside down for his own reason. He sure did not plan on you going into a panic and letting it destroy your mind. What does God want you to accomplish during this time in your life?

Here is something to play online in the background to clear the mind:

THE PSALMS READ BY ALEXANDER SCOURBY

HYMN FOR SUNDAY- PASS ME NOT, OH GENTLE SAVIOR

It is very likely that someone visiting this blog today needs this hymn.

Psalms 116:1 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. 
3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. 
4 Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
6 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.

TO PASTORS WHO FEEL WHIPPED BY FALSE RELIGION

Here is a post by Pastor Craig Edwards from Facebook:

I feel deeply impressed to share this post with my Christian friends, from my heart to yours: I am consistently receiving phone calls, and texted messages from pastors (some older....mostly younger) with lots of questions and real valid concerns. 

These are pastors who are tired of religious politics; tired of religious clicks; tired of the pretending; tired of the hype and fluff; tired of the pressure placed on you by others who seek to control you; tired of having to live by someone else's rules. They see the difference between Bible Convictions and personal preferences. They see the difference between sound doctrine and man made traditions. They see the difference between religious politics and Biblical principles. They see the difference between pretending and being genuine. They see the difference between character and image. They see the difference between working the crowd and a real move of God. They are "hungry" for something real and authentic, and they totally understand there is a price to pay for freedom. 

Many are afraid; afraid of being attacked; afraid of being alone; afraid of what others might say; afraid of losing popularity and friends. TO THOSE PEOPLE I WOULD SAY....... the more I look back and see where God has brought me from, the more grateful I am for what He has done, and is doing in my life. If I could put everything back just like it was, there is NO WAY!!! 

Once you see the truth, it is impossible to unsee it. Has it been easy? Absolutely not!!! Has it been worth it???? Yes it has!!! Jesus, and Jesus only is Lord of the Church, not man, even though he may bear the title “Pastor!” Having the freedom to serve Jesus, knowing He is the ONLY ONE you have to please, and the freedom to make the Bible (and NOTHING but the Bible) your standard, makes it worth it all!!!! 

It has been a 51 year journey, but all things considered, I would do it all over again!!! In spite of the imposters, power hungry men, religious manipulators, and religious entertainers, GOD IS REAL....HIS WORD IS TRUE....JESUS IS LORD....and everyone will STAND BEFORE GOD! Love God, love people; do right and let the chips fall where they fall; maintain a servants heart, and always tell the truth .....no matter the cost.....and when that day comes and we stand before Jesus, you’ll be so glad you did!!!

Craig Edwards is pastor of Mayberry Baptist Church-
Mount Airy, North Carolina

ONLY CHRISTIANS CAN SING THIS SONG

Whether your are a Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, Atheist, Episcopalian, or Unitarian, you cannot stand this kind of music. Your religion does not have music that is alive and joyful In Islam, we learn from the Hadith (Sayings of Mohammed) that music is of the devil.

I feel sorry for you if you are in a religion which finds no exaltation in music.

Psalms 40:1 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

IT IS NO SECRET

WHAT GOD CAN DO...............

There is no power can conquer you while God is on your side.

Judges 6:14 And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?

If God has sent you to live the life he gave you, he will give you the strength to finish it in victory.

CHARGE YOUR BATTERIES

This hymn singing does not exist in 90% of the rest of the world's religions. Islam has NO singing in their mosques, in fact, Mohammed hated singing and almost all music. Hindus have no such singing in their temples. Liberal Christianity has no such joy, only dull banal moaning.

And, the most pathetic denomination of all, as to group singing, is the First Church of Satanic Evolution. Antibishop Richard Dawkins and friends have no such songs of joy.

So, CLICK HERE, get a cup of coffee, and enjoy old timey song singing by Bible believers.

THE DESTINY OF THE LEFT

The Progressive Left is made up of the scum of the earth.

We need to stop talking about Hillary, Obama, and Maxine Waters in breathless terror. These creeps do not have the power to take control because they do not occupy the high ground. They stand for murder of babies, sodomy, and pedophilia. Where did we get the idea that they could prevail?

The whole issue is fear. Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh, and other such hucksters of terror, have gotten the limelight as they try to stampede Americans into total panic in the face of Liberal Leftist Marxist loud mouths like Bernie Sanders.

Who should Bible believers fear?

Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

The only entity to fear is God himself. He can send you to Hell. If you are born again, he will NOT send you to Hell. So, whom have we to fear ultimately? 

If Hillary and Obama have you in deep terror of what they may do to you, they already have captured your soul and mind. Fear is a prison which keeps its inmates locked behind the bars of their overactive imaginations. In all my life I have heard of conspiracies that are alleged to be absolutely impossible to stop. The Council on Foreign Relations, the Bilderbergers, the Illuminati, on and on it goes. The irony is, I have yet to find any of these boogie men doing me or anyone else harm. The only power they have is secrecy, and secrecy is a lot of rubbish if it never results in action and conquest.

We must have such fear of God that there is not fear left in us to fear men.

1 Peter 2:17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

You are NOT told to fear the king, nor any of his cohorts and politicians.

ANGRY OLD MAN

When wicked men try to take power it is historic that they are soon taken down and often killed. They at least end up fleeing to some other nation in terror. Witness Idi Amin and Menguistu Heile Mariam of Ethiopic. When the day comes that God has exhausted his mercy on Hillary Clinton and George Soros, they will end up in a fancy box in a hole in the ground. Kings bleed just as easily as you do.

What is really deadly to the Church of Jesus Christ is when his people stand around in the church house foyer, or at church dinners, and trade horror stories to drive one another into dread and panic. And, the worst of it is that this is often done in front of little children so that these kids grow up with hearts filled with terror rather than the fear of God.

If you, pastor, preside over such a local church, you need a millstone tied around you neck and throw you into the lake. You are a bastard son who is unwilling to teach children to fear God. I hate you with perfect hatred because you are the enemy of God.

Isaiah 66:2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.

How does God feel when he looks at you and hears your conversation? Does God remember you?

Psalms 103:17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;

THEY HATE YOU IF YOU ARE WHITE- WHAT TO DO?

Members on the Left have no rational way to ask questions or make debate with the Right.

This is because they hate the Right, and they hate White people, and they hate men. You need to get used to this. It will never again be anything but what it is now.

How shall we then live?

1. Do not return hate for hate. If the hate comes with bullets, return bullets if you must, but not out of lust to kill. You do have the right to defend yourself.

2. Discipline your mind to stay rational and curious. Read and investigate as if you did not have anyone who agreed with you. You must keep from becoming pathological in your thinking and speech just because you are the minority.

3. Defend other Whites, men, and Conservatives. If you are a Bible believer, defend Bible believers. If this requires doing harm to Leftists, do it. The Left has no inalienable right to destroy people.

4. Take the high ground by using true facts and reason against the Left. They are so ingrown and simple minded that they can be easily destroyed in real debate. Do so, and make no apologies.

Here is an example of a brat trying to interview Stefan Molyneux and Lauren Southern. You will see that the man is desperate to stick his victims with guilt for something. This is not an interview, this is war. Stefan bashes right back eventually and calls the man on his tricks.

The classic moment in this video was when Stefan asked the dim bulb to define "the extreme Left and the extreme Right." The idiot had no idea what they were. This is because his university professors and Hillary Clinton never defined the extreme Left or extreme Right. This proves me right. Being on the Left is not about rational thinking, it is about who to hate.

This is the philosophical foundation of the ongoing Civil War in America. If you do not join the Hate fest of the Left, you are the enemy, and you must be killed. Extreme Leftists most certainly would kill me if they could get away with it. That is one reason I like Texas. A Leftist in Texas who attacks a White person, male person, Christian, or Conservative will get more lead back than he sends. But, he needs to make his first shot count, because I will not shoot first. I fully intend to end up on the high ground morally.

This Civil War is not my idea of how to live. It is being forced upon me and my friends by rabid dogs who want to see blood flow. I will try to make sure their blood is mingled with mine before the party is over. But, for the record, bleeding to death in the street is not my idea of social justice and cultural fellowship. They asked for war, and they will get it.

FINAL THOUGHT: If you watched the whole video, you heard the interviewer say, "I think I'm a little more understanding." This tells me that we must never give up on a sincere seeker. The young buck came on rather sinister, but he ended admitting he had learned something. Do not make Conservatism, maleness, Christianity, or Whiteness a private club. Be willing to welcome cross overs.

Proverbs 11:25 The liberal (generous) soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

ALTERNATIVE TO INSANITY

The world, at least the American part of the world, is going mad. Hate is driving so many people.

And, where will it end? We are staring down the barrel of a gun held in the hands of mad Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama. They want us to join in civil war with them.

Be careful my friend..... you could become a sucker and end up in a FEMA camp, or a UN detention camp in South Sudan.

What is the alternative?

Think about when you were about ten years old. What did you dream of becoming?


So, how did you get HERE?

You cannot go back and start over, not really. You are stuck with house and car payments and a family to care for. But, you can replace much, if not all, of the terror with a big dose of that dream from long ago.

One man did this, and you will wonder if he really is a bit crazy. But, look at the joy he shows as he lives out his dream.

Let us all so live our life that, when we have lived our last day, folks will say, "He had his problems, but he sure lived life well to the end."

2 Timothy 4:6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

And.................. let the devil and Hillary take the hindmost.

LIBERALS ARE CALLING AMERICA TO WAR

The Progressive Liberal left has called for physical violence and war in the streets.

SAMPLE OF HATE AND CIVIL WAR MONGERING 

It is July, and it is hot. This is when civil war, like the Watts riot, starts. The Watts riots started on August 11, 1965. I was there. I know what happened, and the whole riot was imported in gray unmarked buses by civil rights leaders. A friend of mine passed the long line of buses on the Santa Ana Freeway on their way to Watts.

Barak Obama and George Soros will use the wild threats by US Congressional members, and by rock stars and hate groups, to send their soldiers to the streets in the hope of destroying the US democracy once and for all.

The threats are real, and we will soon see violence by Blacks and rabid millennials as they attack Americans. They want war..... Defend yourself. This attack will not be only against Republicans and Trump supporters. It will soon be Blacks attacking Whites, and Hispanics in California attacking Anglos.

I am not making this up. A large percentages of Americans believe a civil war is coming soon. READ HERE

And, the Right is not holding back the rhetoric.

I am certain that Trump will wimp out in this civil war. He will not send the National Guard, via the help of governors, into the streets to control the war and end it. Trump will see this war and killing as the best assist he has to be reelected. Let the Liberals kill Americans, and public opinion will do the follwoing.

1. Republicans will become viciously united and reelect Trump. Disillusioned Democrats will also vote for Trump, or not at all.

2. US Congress members will have to decide if they will support or stand against civil war.

3. The Democratic Party will become totally divided as the hate mongers call for killing and rape, and the rational Democrats will flee to a safe position. This is good.

4. Trump will eventually have a situation that allows him to justify the Emergency Powers Act which will make him dictator.

5. The end of the civil war will also be the end of US power in the world. This will leave the Middle East free of US meddling so that Bible prophecy can move forward. 

You jerk Christians who worship our lord and savior Trump, as if God was walking among us in the person  of Trump, will soon live under a dictator who will NOT remind you of God. God is not mocked. You have exalted Trump far above what he really is, and God will punish American Christians for being so cheeky to a holy God.

Meanwhile, arm yourself. When physically attacked, shoot to kill.

Keep a safe zone around you as you walk about in the market place. Look for glaring eyes and men hanging around idle. Be always ready to change your plans and direction in order to avoid evil.

Stop mouthing off about Trump when there are unknown parties present. You could be put on a hit list.

Be careful what you search online. Facebook and Google may very well be sending identities of Conservatives to Obama and the Liberal thugs, whom they will then target in their homes or by hacking.

Christians need to stop the patriotic talk, and start talking like New Testament saints.

2 Corinthians 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

If you are a born again Bible believer, call yourself that instead of using political monikers. Behave like an ambassador of Jesus Christ, not a shill of Trump. Ambassadors do not get entangled in the politics of the nation to which they are sent. When challenged, tell the attacker you are an ambassador for Christ. If you have to die, by any chance, do you want to die for Trump or for Christ? It is time you figured this out before you have to stand before Christ and tell him why you were killed for Trump.

Christian men, never be alone with a woman. There will be political warfare Me Too feminists who will accuse Christian men of raping or assaulting them. Pastors must run off feminists who visit their churches.

If you are a Black Christian, understand that Black Americans will soon be divided very violently into two tribes, those who hate Trump and Whites, whom they want to kill, and those Blacks who want to live at peace. You may be approached one day and asked to take an oath of allegiance. This was a device used by the Mau Mau Rebels in Kenya in the 1950s. Oathing is powerful during asymmetric warfare. Obama will soon enlist the Black street gangs in big cities to do his killing for him.

Also, Black Christians need to be aware that White based racism may surge back as evil men unite to punish Blacks for the sins of the Obama thugs. Be careful where you go and who you talk to. It may not feel like America soon.

Pastor, beware of honey traps, especially by women and girls in your local church. Hillary and Obama hate Jesus Christ, and they will quickly use civil war as an excuse to target conservative Christian churches for destruction.

Hispanic Christians, be aware that American Hispanics will also be divided into two tribes, those who hate Trump and Anglos, and those who want to live in peace. You may also be forced into very ugly choices to try to force you to support the killing programs.

The universities of the USA will soon become war zones. The leaders of universities will pander to the students until the Liberal terrorists rule the university. This will result in many universities being closed down, possibly by order of the President. This is typical during any civil war.

Minnennials in America are laying around with no jobs and resenting the older generation who lied to them about how grand they were and how they would conquer the world. They will quickly be targeted by Obama to enlist them into the civil war. They will be lousy soldiers, but they will be useful to run in the streets and send them to be slaughtered by law enforcement or the Military. This is the Stalinist solution.

Understand something right now..... this is not going to be a revolution. A revolution is a rebellion against the government. This is a civil war waged by tribes. There will soon be, indeed are NOW, two tribes of Democrats. Even CNN and some media are walking their hate campaign back a bit to identify themselves with law and order. Democrat will be against Democrat. Black will be against Black. Hispanic will be against Hispanic, father against son, and daughter against mother. This is a war of we the people against we the people. The last Civil War America experienced resulted in 620,000 dead soldiers. That is exactly half of all deaths from all American wars. I fully expect to see the tribes slaughter one another just like African tribes wiped one another out before the colonial era.

This civil war will most certainly result in the disintegration of the USA. It will not be long before some state decides to walk away and become a free nation so that they can declare war on the idiots who are killing one another in their own state. Once a state is an independent nation, they can kill the rebels in a massive slaughter according to their own laws.

The Stock Market is scheduled for a serious reset. Predictions are rampant of a major collapse of the market by as much as 70%. If this civil war environment becomes pervasive throughout American cities, New York City will be trashed by Obama's rebels. This will be deadly for the economy. It will stampede the New York Stock Exchange.

If you are trusting President Trump to take you to the Promised Land, get ready to feel like a big donkey. You are leaning on a dead reed waving in the wind. Trump cannot stop civil war. All he can do is fan the fires of war and make himself a military dictator. He will keep on tweeting and raising the level of hate until the blood flows.

During the US Civil War of past years, life moved infinitely slower than it does today. In twenty minutes Obama can easily have thousands of his troops in the streets looting and burning, AND HE WILL. The US Military, President Trump, and the US Congress will have talks ad nauseam, and by the time they engage the enemy, the whole nation could be burning downtown. This will result in a huge over reaction by the US Military, and millions of Americans will end up in FEMA camps under detention until the war is over. 

Give the Government no reason to round up you or the church you attend. If your pastor makes this event into a big blast from the pulpit, count on it..... he and you will end up held under detention. And, the FEMA camps will become war zones as tribes inside kill one another off. Thus, flee from a church that becomes a war defender.

What is the good news in all of this?

Answer: For Bible believers this is a great time to offer troubled friends and neighbors the Gospel of Jesus Christ. People will also be ready to hear how such events fit into End Times prophecy. Christians, REAL Christians, will be representing Christ to the lost, and Christians will not participate in the hate fest going on. Beware of diving into hate comments on Facebook and in other online media areas. The Federal Government will be looking for people who are talking rough to put them away until the war is over.

Isaiah 19:2 And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.

Micah 7:8 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.

Matthew 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

2 Corinthians 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

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.

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. 

TRUMP CAN GRAB SOME CONSERVATIVE VOTES

White South Africans want to leave SA and move to the USA. They are openly asking President Trump to help them.

READ THE ARTICLE

The Progressive Liberal Marxists, Obama and Hillary, will fan up an inferno if Whites are told they are welcome in the USA. Racism will run wild again.

The irony is, these South Africans have a hard work ethic going way back to the late 1700s when they entered South Africa from Europe and found huge areas with no Africans even living there. The migration since the Genesis Flood has been so recent that the first White explorers in South Africa found no Africans there. They had not yet migrated that far.

So, Whites in South Africa are descended from the original inhabitants of their homeland, and the politically correct mob will just have to deal with that. It is in the history books. That is not my idea.

The problem in South Africa is that Black politicians, like Barak Obama, have been trying to take power by calling for the confiscation of all White land and the slaughter of Whites at the hands of thugs. Nelson Mandela saw this day coming and spoke against it.

When, and if, South African Whites immigrate to the USA, they will ALL find jobs and go right to work. They are fantastic farmers and would be a great addition to the expertise needed to develop farms in the US Southwest.

Furthermore, they are mostly Dutch, and if you are not Dutch, you are not much. At least that is what the Calvinists in Western Michigan tell me.

Some of these Whites are married to Black Africans. I wonder if the racist Marxists in our deformed political system would allow these mixed race South Africans to immigrate to the USA?

DON'T QUIT- ONE MAN WHO DIDN'T

This documentary of a life, the life of Charles Krauthammer, will be better for you than a thousand hours of therapy. If you are struggling with whether or not to quit, this will most certainly help you.

Philippians 4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

So, what is next? Where were you going before you stopped and started licking your wounds?

With the promise of God, as spoken by the Apostle Paul above, you simply need to get back on target and go forward.

Question: Do YOU plan to die doing what God has called you to do?

SOCCER (FOOTBALL) TENDER MOMENTS

Sir Alex certainly has done soccer a service in catching the special goals, saves, and other high moments.

This is, by far, the best work of Sir Alex.

I'LL MEET YOU IN THE MORNING

And, we'll sit down by the river..............

Just like we did back in 1950 when I was a kid singing this song in a school house along the Canadian River in Oklahoma. Dad, "Brother Van," was leading the singing, and Mom played the piano from the shape note hymn book.

The coal oil lamps were all glowing in the windows, and the black iron pot bellied stove was roaring as the snow blew outside. Everyone sang their hearts out, and if you couldn't carry a tune, no one would judge you. We were all to occupied with lifting up praise to God.

I was extremely blessed to find these folks in Gardendale First Baptist Church, Alabama, still singing the old hymns that we sang in the days of the Old Paths.

Enjoy

THE FUTURE AND DONALD TRUMP

Now that Donald Trump is elected, I already get the impression that some people are turning pessimistic about the future with The Donald. This seems to reflect the ongoing cynicism in America today. 

Here is our dilemma. Research shows that Americans, and people in all nations, tend to think their life will be better than eventual reality makes it. No one really believes they will get cancer. Nor do newly weds believe they will end up in divorce in spite of the fact that 40% of marriages end in divorce.

But, the weird researched facts also show that we all expect a lot more pain and suffering for other people than we do for ourselves. This may explain why Alex Jones has such a large following. He regularly tells you how the other guy will end up hanging on the inside of the fence in a FEMA camp. You will not, of course, because you will buy his survival vitamins and his cool stun gun he sells.

So, apply this to The Donald. 

We Conservatives were desperate to block Hillary from becoming President. And, in fact, Democrats were trying to block Trump from becoming President. We at first felt great relief when Trump won. But soon, we Conservatives will start fretting about what this maverick stranger from New York City will do with Texas, Delaware, and Utah. Will he have any idea how to force Mexico to actually pay for his new fence?

At this point, we start feeling like things have to go bad for America. But, we still believe tomorrow will be a nice day at our house, and we will put in our new crop of winter greens and carrots. All will be well, and it usually is.

I had a Bible believing History Professor in college who was a Democrat. We had lost the Presidential election to John Kennedy, and we students were sitting in the dining room worrying about whether Kennedy would hand the USA to the Pope. Dr. Henry said something I never forgot. 

"A good President cannot do that much good in one term, and a really bad President cannot do that much evil." Dr. Henry was talking about checks and balances and the horrible sluggishness of the political process in Washington.

So, think about Obama. What was the most evil thing he did? Let Chris Stevens get murdered in Libya? Obama care? He let Michelle force kids in school to eat tofu and weeds. How much did this change life in America?

Look here now. Obamacare looked like the most destructive thing that would ever happen in American history. The panic pundits online predicted the total collapse of the economy and that health care would be hopelessly trashed.

What actually happened? Obama care has run into the ditch. Many states refused to join the thing. And, people are opting to pay the fine because that is cheaper than taking the plan from that loser in the Oval Office.

Furthermore, how did Obama care make YOUR life worse? 

In another area, do you still have your guns? Do you recall all the warnings and panic from Alex Jones and others about the Second Amendment being trashed? Nothing has changed except in Texas. It is easier now to acquire and carry a gun.

So, and I now particularly address you Democrats. Trump cannot do that much good in four years, nor can he do that much evil. He has the House and the Senate to get past to do every one of the things he boasted he would do. If they balk, he cannot do them.
In case you Democrats think that Trump could do great wicked things by using the Executive Order trick which your pal Obama tried to use, do you recall how many times the Supreme Court stopped Obama? He lost a whole pile of his tricks to that check and balance. The Supremes will do the same for The Donald if he goes berserk.

So, life in America will go on. Your life in particular will probably turn out a lot better than you imagine, either in spite of, or because of, Donald Trump.

If you, with bated breath, hang on every word of the panic stricken jerks and jerkettes from Hollywood as they rage and roar about Trump, you are an idiot my friend. These actors and musicians are the worst losers in America. They nearly all die of an overdose. They have one, and only one, talent. That is the ability to memorize lines. Otherwise, they are mental midgets who live on adrenaline, hashish, and Budweiser.

So, Trump may turn out to be a thoroughly botched up President. He may blunder about as badly as Obama. So what? Life will go one.

Now, if you imagine that God cannot step in and set a volcano loose from Yellowstone, or rip the middle of America apart with a New Madrid earthquake, that is very faulty reasoning. But then again, when was the last time this continent was totally trashed by natural disaster? What if God is not as mad at America as you think he is?

Who gave you the inside information from the throne in Heaven when God told the death angel to go down and destroy America? Does God need to consult with you or Alex Jones to determine when to destroy America?

It would be far better for Americans to look at the hate and division in this nation. Democrats hate Conservatives and visa versa. Blacks hate Whites, and Whites arm for race riots. The bitterness and hate is tribal. We all like to think we live above it, but if that is true, who does all the hating we hear about?

We would do well to each determine to be a blessing to someone every day. That is the way Jesus lived.

We would do well to mock at political correctness and drive it out of daily life.

We would also do well to speak of Jesus Christ every day by working him into our conversation.

Salt. It is all about being salt.

Matthew 5:13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

If we could spread enough salt around in American society, the devil would indeed have to take the hindmost. Please see what you can do about this right were you live.

I have heard so much pessimism in recent years from so many Bible believers that I am deeply troubled by it. Things simply did not turn out the way the gurus of fear all predicted.

So, while I know very well that God could totally trash the USA tonight, and, while I know that America must be greatly diminished in the world in order for Middle Eastern prophecy to be fulfilled, nevertheless, I intend to anticipate good things from my Lord for me, AND for you.

See if you can make it happen.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Are you defying God, daring him to be good to you and America? Does he have to ask your permission to bless people, even the wicked with the good?

Indeed, IS GOD TREATING YOU TOO GOOD?
