Good one! I wish more people understood that we're not to worship a leader or country and that this world is NOT our home! I wish they also realized that a new president, representative, or congressman is not going to change things. I get so tired or seeing people who are or who say they are Christians, acting like the person they think should be president is God's gift to the world and everyone should love him. The only thing that can change things is if more people get saved, not another election.
Ok, I'll get off my soap box now

Following Elon Musk’s release of internal Twitter documents on Dec. 2, 2022, it should be clear to everyone:
- That America’s shadow government went all out to stop Trump and the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement in the 2020 election.
- That there was collusion between the FBI, Biden’s campaign committee, Twitter employees, and some members of the Obama administration to lie to the American people about the Hunter Biden Laptop story.
- That the FBI knew that the Hunter Biden Laptop story was true, but the FBI intentionally deceived the public by calling it Russian disinformation.
- That the FBI, Biden campaign committee, Twitter employees, and others have censored many Americans and denied them their freedom of speech.
- That the FBI, Biden Campaign committee, Twitter employees, and others blocked freedom of the press (censored the New York Post story).
- That Trump and his MAGA supporters have legitimate complaints about the fairness of the 2020 election.
This reminds me of something Paul said, “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness” (Rom. 1:18).
There can be little doubt that these people are guilty of suppressing the truth with unrighteousness, and this is not the first time by any means.
- They did not hesitate to help Hillary Clinton cover up her hacked computer files.
- They did not hesitate to lie to the FISA court to get warrants to spy on Trump and some of his associates.
- Suppressing the truth with unrighteousness has become a way of life in the FBI and the Dept. of Justice.
- Those that deny it probably believe Merrick Garland when he looks into the cameras and says America’s border with Mexico is secure.
Their actions are one reason why the wrath of God (Tribulation Period) is on the way.
Here are a few prophecy-related events that recently made the news.
One, concerning an economic collapse: on Nov. 30, 2022, it was reported that 41% of U.S. small business owners said they could not pay the full amount of their rent on time in Nov. 2022.
The number was 30% in Sept., 37% in Oct., and 41% in Nov.
Two, concerning the Mark of the Beast in a person’s forehead or in their right hand: on Nov. 30, 2022, Elon Musk said his company hopes to begin human trials of its Neuralink wireless brain chip within 6 months.
Musk is trying to develop brain chips that will restore a patient’s eyesight/motor functions and possibly allow them to mentally control electronic devices.
A chip implanted in one’s brain (forehead) could be tracked, but skeptics believe it will be a while before society gets to that.
Three, concerning the Mark of the Beast: on Nov. 28, 2022, a writer named JD Heyes expressed the opinion that governments are trying to develop a digital currency (CBDC) to gain control of people’s spending habits (to influence or block people’s buying and selling).
Four, on Nov. 30, 2022, Presumptive Israeli Prime Min. Netanyahu promised three things:
- He will neutralize the Iranian nuclear threat against Israel.
- He will expand the Abraham Accords and make peace with Saudi Arabia.
- His first state visit will be to the UAE (the first Arab nation to make peace with Israel in 25 years) to demonstrate that he is serious about making peace with the Arabs.
Five, concerning who is running things in the U.S.: on Dec. 1, 2022, former Pres. Obama traveled to Atlanta, Georgia, to campaign for Sen. Raphael Warnock.
During a campaign speech on Warnock’s behalf, Obama said, “We love Uncle Joe. We just don’t give him very difficult things to do.”
Obama is on video publicly admitting that he and others are controlling what Biden does.
Put another way, even if Biden won the 2020 election, it has been stolen because Obama and others are in charge.
Six, concerning the decline of America: on Dec. 1, 2022, highly respected conservative writer Victor Davis Hanson posted an article listing ten ways someone could destroy the U.S. if they really wanted to.
Here is Hanson’s incredible list (in my words).
- Destroy America’s energy independence.
- Print and distribute trillions of dollars to weaken America’s money.
- Erase the border and allow millions of people into America.
- Destroy the public’s confidence in America’s elections.
- Redefine crime, change and ignore the laws to exempt some criminals.
- Divide America, tear down its existing culture, identify people by their race, gender, etc., call people names (racists, etc.).
- Betray America’s allies (Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, etc.) and appease our enemies (Iran, Venezuela, etc.).
- Destroy the first amendment to the Constitution, censor free speech, call some free speech hate speech, etc.
- Demonize America’s citizens (MAGA Republicans) and prosecute politicians (Trump) that oppose you.
- Mandate restrictions on Americans (force vaccinations, use of masks, lockdowns, etc.).
(My opinion: Mr. Hanson is right on target. There appears to be a deliberate effort to weaken America and surrender its sovereignty to a one-world government. Sadly, multitudes could soon find themselves, family, and friends in the Tribulation Period. Thankfully, the Rapture comes first, multitudes will get saved during the Tribulation Period, and Jesus will deal with those that are destroying America.)
Seven, concerning world government: on Dec. 1, 2022, The American Thinker posted an opinion piece by Robert A. Taft.
According to Taft, the East (Russia, China, and their allies) and the West (the U.S. and EU) have agreed to the following since they met on Nov. 15-16, 2022, at the G-20 meeting in Bali:
- Implement a communist-style global government.
- Reduce the global population of the earth.
- Implement global healthcare.
- Use technology to control everyone (to force everyone to think alike and submit to world government).
- Advance transhumanism (the merger of people with technology).
- Digitalize food processing and develop a sustainable food supply.
Here is a link to Tate’s opinion, but know that Tate doesn’t think this East-West agreement will hold.
www.americanthinker.com/articles/2022/12/triggering_the_great_reset.html
(My opinion: Whether Tate is right or not remains to be seen, but these are very important issues that relate to Bible prophecy, and no other generation has seen such things.)
(My opinion: Biden often accuses Ultra MAGA Republicans of destroying Democracy. If he has agreed to implement a communist-style global government, he is one that is destroying Democracy, and he is suppressing the truth by accusing others.)
Eight, concerning famine: on Dec. 1, 2022, the German government ordered farmers in a large, highly productive farming area of the nation to cut their use of nitrogen-based fertilizer by 20%.
This is not good, but it is believed to be just the first cut, and that more cuts are on the way.
Nine, Concerning the decline of America: on Dec. 5, 2022, it was reported that a George Soros-funded group called Governing for Impact (GFI) has advised the Biden administration that the Clean Air Act gives the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the authority to control or prohibit the manufacture and sale of any motor vehicle fuel including gasoline by declaring that the fuel emissions endanger public health.
Apparently, GFI recommended a partial ban (not a total ban) of gasoline because the courts would likely strike it down.
(My opinion: Reducing the manufacture and sale of gasoline in the U.S. would negatively impact the U.S. in a major way, and Americans should be very concerned about any advice that George Soros gives to the U.S. government.)
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; believe that 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.

I had to use the above graphic again because I can't believe how old those two are now! Grace, will be 14 years old tomorrow and just last week, Elijah, turned 17 years old! On top of that, yesterday, my second oldest granddaughter, Jessica, shared that she is pregnant with my 5th great grandchild! It seems like yesterday when all my grandkids were playing on the porch or out in the yard together, like the picture above. I loved watching them play! What a great blessing they've been, and I know they'll continue to be.
I guess I'd better go wrap Gracie's mini gift. I broke down and got each of them a $10 gift for their birthdays so they'd have something to open. But their real birthday gift they got back in June when we got them a basketball hoop and a volley ball net and the balls to go with them. They loved them!
Have a wonderful day everyone!

Many Churches in CA shut down during covid, but MacArthur's church actually grew by over 7000 members that first year, and more since then. That's not just people coming because they couldn't go to their own church, but people who came and fell in love with MacArthur and have become members of his church! It just proves that God always has a remnant!

Yes, Pink was a good pastor and teacher. I have a number of his books and have enjoyed them. Sadly, toward the end of his time, he did go off course, but most of his books are very good.
That's to bad the lady with the dogs is like that. But I'm glad you won't let the dogs go hungry. That's very good of you, especially when she won't acknowledge it! But that's ok, because Jesus will acknowledge the good you've done!
It's been totally crazy here and today's no exception. That's why I've been awol. Sorry I'm so late posting this for us, but here's the latest article:

By Daymond Duck
The phrase “Stupid is as stupid does” became famous in 1994 with a movie called Forrest Gump.
(Note: I do not like the word “stupid.” It sounds unchristian, but readers will understand it better than “A reprobate mind is as a reprobate mind does.”)
Most Bible prophecy teachers are aware that the World Health Organization (WHO) is drafting an International Pandemic Treaty and the WHO is asking for the Director-General to be empowered to declare public health emergencies and require global obedience to WHO policies.
Giving control of the healthcare of everyone on earth to one person will put all of us in great danger, but this week, it was reported that Pres. Biden said he will sign that treaty when it is released.
As I understand it, the International Pandemic Treaty is already several dozen pages long, it is almost finished but not finished yet, and Biden has already said he will sign it.
Why would he agree to sign a document that will impact the lives and healthcare of every American while it is still being changed?
Please excuse me for saying it, but “stupid is as stupid does.”
Consider what happened on Nov. 23, 2022.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), spent about 7 hours answering questions in a lawsuit filed by the Attorneys General in 2 states: Louisiana and Missouri.
During questioning, Fauci admitted that the idea of an economic lockdown of the U.S. came from Communist China.
Instead of obeying the Constitution of the U.S., Fauci decided to imitate Communist China, and that:
- Caused billions of dollars of economic damage to the U.S.
- Caused small business owners to lose their business.
- Caused schools to shut down and students to stay home.
- Caused a decline in Church attendance and some to not return.
- Led to vaccination requirements that caused healthcare workers and others to be fired, military people to be dismissed, citizens to have adverse reactions including death, strokes, and other disabilities.
- Led to treatments being forbidden (Ivermectin, etc.) that could have saved lives.
- Led to people losing freedom of speech.
- And more.
Fauci’s decision to imitate Communist China and ignore the laws of the U.S. shows the danger of putting too much power into the hands of one person.
Nevertheless, the International Pandemic Treaty is expected to empower one person to control the healthcare of everyone on earth, and one person called the Antichrist will rise over the New World Order.
The creation of a world government without the Lord God Jehovah is leading to major mistakes.
We are now being told we will own nothing and be happy and that those who cannot afford to eat traditional foods should learn to eat bugs and worms.
I will not say I will never get hungry enough to eat bugs and worms, but I will say that I find the thought repulsive.
I prefer that our nation change leaders and that the Church returns to God.
The following stories seem to indicate that we are getting close.
One, concerning reprobate minds: I recently reported that America’s national debt now exceeds $31 trillion, inflation is higher than it has been in about 40 years, America is running low on weapons for its military, America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserves are low, the lines at food banks are increasing, several major cities could run out of water next year, etc., and Biden’s State Dept. sent $20,600 to a cultural center in Ecuador to fund 12 Drag Queen shows, 3 gay workshops, and a short documentary.
On Nov. 27, 2022, it was reported that the Biden State Dept. has given $50,000 to promote transgender rights in India.
(My opinion: This continued support for unbiblical acts says a lot about the spiritual decline of America and the morals at our White House and State Dept.)
Two, concerning a departure from the faith and false teaching in the Church: on Nov. 27, 2022, it was reported that a speaker with a PhD degree told worshippers at a University of Cambridge chapel service that the spear wound in Jesus’ side (John 19:34) looks like a vagina.
According to the report, the speaker was implying that Jesus died with a trans body and may have been a transgender person.
Following several complaints, the Dean of the college defended the message.
(My opinion: Some PhD degrees are worthless, and divinity students would do well to avoid schools that support the teaching of false doctrines.)
(Another opinion: There has always been a departure from the faith and false teaching in the Church, but it is a growing problem, as prophesied in the Bible.)
Three, concerning world government: world leaders, including the Biden administration, are cooperating with godless men to determine what the coming world government will be like.
These godless men are destroying western democracy and replacing it with a demonic system that is shaping up like the rule of Antichrist.
They have come out in the open and are no longer hiding what they have been doing behind the scenes for decades.
An excellent video by The People’s Voice (8 min. and 51 sec.) allows viewers to hear World Economic Forum (WEF) leaders Klaus Schwab and Yuval Noah Harari make the following stupid statements (I apologize for the word “stupid,” but that is my honest opinion of what these 2 evil men have said). They said:
- God is dead.
- Jesus is fake news.
- WEF leaders have acquired divine powers to rule over humanity (stupid).
- The New One-World Religion has arrived, and it unites all of humanity in worshipping at the altar of climate science, techno-communism, and eugenics.
- The WEF has been so successful in its plans that it is acquiring divine powers of creation and destruction.
- The WEF is upgrading humans into gods.
- If you read between the lines just a little, it’s clear the WEF is consciously attempting to supplant Jesus.
- Humans do not have a soul; they are hackable animals that do not have the capacity of free will.
- The World Economic Forum has spent decades quietly infiltrating democratically elected governments, penetrating cabinets, and wielding an outsized influence on the world from the corridors of Schwab’s Swiss hideout in Davos.
Here is a link to the video: [Editor’s Note: When clicking on this link, a message comes up that says, “This video is no longer available because the YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated.”]
The WEF global reset is leading the world into depravity, death panels, depopulation, and total control of everyone on earth.
Four, concerning world government: on Nov. 25, 2022, it was reported that Klaus Schwab, head of the World Economic Forum (WEF), said, “We are moving toward global governance for the good of the planet. We need global cooperation to combat climate issues.”
Klaus Schwab was asked what global governance would look like, and he replied, “China.”
Five, concerning China: on Nov. 28, 2022, it was reported that massive protests have broken out in many Chinese cities (worse than any other in more than 30 years) over China’s Zero-Covid lockdown policy.
Waves of dissenters are protesting being locked in their houses for more than 3 months, the loss of work, food shortages, lack of medicine, and other grievances.
The police are using tear gas and batons, arresting demonstrators, and banning people on social media, but the protestors are fighting back, busting through barricades, wrestling with police, demanding the resignation of Pres. Xi, etc.
This should tell us something about the kind of world government the WEF wants for everyone on earth.
- On Mar. 6, 2018, it was reported that China was evaluating a program that required every citizen to have a National ID number and a Social Credit Score.
- Every citizen was being tracked, and their Social Credit Score went up or down based on what groups they belonged to, what they bought, what they read, the websites they browsed, what others said about them, etc.
- A high Social Credit Score meant the person was a good citizen.
- A low credit Social Credit Score meant the person was not a good citizen.
- People with high Social Credit Scores were rewarded by letting them have better jobs, live in better houses, send their children to better schools, etc.
- People with low Social Credit Scores were given low-paying jobs and poorer housing, their children were sent to poorer schools, etc.
- How much a person earned, what they could buy and sell, etc., will be based on their loyalty to the government.
- During the test, millions of citizens were blacklisted.
- Now we learn that Klaus Schwab wants this for everyone on earth.
Six, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog: on Nov 23, 2022, it was reported that Israel’s presumptive Prime Min. Netanyahu said he will do everything in his power to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and the power to use them, even if it means straining Israeli ties with the U.S.
He added that if defending Israel against Iranian nuclear missiles means he must oppose U.S. policy, he will do it.
(Note: I have heard statements like this for so long that I am reluctant to write about it anymore, but I also believe that Netanyahu is more likely to follow through than his predecessors, and time is short.)
Seven, concerning hatred for the nation of Israel at the end of the age: on Nov. 23, 2022, terrorists exploded bombs at two locations (a crowded bus stop and at a bus station) that killed one student and injured scores of people.
Palestinian terrorists have used knives, guns, and car rammings to kill 29 people in Israel this year (many in Jerusalem), but this is the first time they have used bombs to kill and injure people in Jerusalem in nearly a decade.
Trump cut off funding to the Palestinians, but Biden has resumed it, and now terrorists are stepping up their violence.
It is disappointing that the U.S. is giving money to corrupt Palestinians that is being funneled to terrorists who are killing innocent Israeli men, women, and children, but it is a fact.
(More: On Nov. 27, 2022, it was reported that presumptive Israeli Prime Min. Benjamin Netanyahu has reached an agreement with other parties, and he will be able to establish a “right-wing government.” This government is expected to act with greater force against terrorism, to push harder for Jewish access to the Temple Mount, and to finally act against Iran’s efforts to get nuclear weapons even if the U.S. refuses to help.)
Eight, concerning God drawing the Jews back to Israel at the end of the age: on Nov. 18, 2022, it was reported that more than 61,000 people have immigrated to Israel this year (32,494 from Russia, 14,450 from Ukraine, 3,280 from North America, 1,957 from France, 1,750 from Belarus, 1,474 from Ethiopia, 1,000 from Argentina, 493 from the UK, 411 from South Africa, and others).
Nine, concerning the globalist desire to reduce the population of the earth: on Nov. 22, 2022, it was reported that Philippine leaders have rejected UN pressure to legalize abortion on demand, same-sex marriage, and divorce on the grounds that these things conflict with the nation’s values, religious beliefs, and cultural traditions.
According to the article, abortion is the number one cause of death worldwide (estimated to be between 42 to 73 million in the past year).
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; believe that 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.

I didn't get much sleep last night so I've been sleeping sitting at my desk instead. I think I'm awake now, but I'm going to need more coffee for sure!
I wonder if people who are being forced to wear masks realize the harm they're doing to their immune system. If this continues, their bodies won't be able to ward anything off. The number of deaths then will make covid and everything else look like nothing.

By Britt Gillette
On December 7, 1941, Japan caught America by surprise when it attacked the U.S. naval base in Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii. Japan sought to destroy the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Fortunately, that attack didn’t destroy the United States. But the future may not be so kind. Why? Because the U.S. is setting itself up for a modern-day Pearl Harbor – one from which it will never recover. And it won’t be the result of a military strike. It will be the result of an economic one. To understand what’s coming (this attack is already underway), we need to understand our history.
The Bretton Woods System
In 1944, the Bretton Woods Agreement established the financial rules and monetary system governing western nations. The system required participating nations to guarantee convertibility of their currencies into U.S. dollars at a fixed rate with the dollar convertible to gold by foreign governments. This essentially put the world on a type of gold standard via the U.S. dollar.
This system served the world well until the late1960s when it became clear the United States was printing dollars without the gold needed to back up those dollars. Out-of-control government spending via a host of new government social programs and the war in Vietnam threatened to deplete U.S. gold stockpiles. So on August 15, 1971, President Nixon “temporarily” closed the gold window (it’s never been reopened) – terminating the convertibility of dollars into gold. This made the dollar a fiat currency, meaning it wasn’t backed by anything of value. To prevent runaway inflation, the United States brokered a deal with Saudi Arabia, which effectively set up a new world monetary system.
The Petro-Dollar System
Following the 1973 Yom Kippur War, the United States found itself the target of an OPEC oil embargo as a result of the military aid it provided to Israel. Oil prices quadrupled. With the dollar no longer tied to gold, inflation soared as the U.S. continued to run annual budget deficits. Facing these headwinds, in 1974, the U.S. brokered a deal with Saudi Arabia to stabilize the dollar. The U.S. agreed to buy oil from Saudi Arabia and defend the kingdom militarily while also providing military aid and equipment. In return, Saudi Arabia (and the rest of OPEC) agreed to sell oil only in U.S. dollars and use those dollars to buy U.S. debt, effectively supporting both the dollar and U.S. deficit spending.
For nearly five decades, the U.S.-Saudi relationship held up well. The United States successfully defended Saudi Arabia in Operation Desert Shield in 1990-1991, and Saudi Arabia continued to sell oil in dollars. But in recent years, the U.S.-Saudi relationship has started to fray, and over the past 18 months, it’s all but fallen apart. That means the days are numbered for what remains of the petro-dollar system.
A Critical Turning Point: August 2021
Exactly fifty years to the day from when Nixon closed the gold window, the Taliban entered Kabul, and the Afghan president fled the country. In hindsight, this event struck a fatal blow to the petro-dollar system. The petro-dollar is still alive, but it won’t last much longer. Why?
The U.S. abandoned its allies. It left Americans behind enemy lines and allowed those who assisted America to fall into the tortuous hands of the Taliban. In the face of such a betrayal, is it any surprise Saudi Arabia might begin to question U.S. commitment to its security? The U.S. showed itself to be an unreliable partner. Russia was quick to capitalize. Unnoticed by many in the western media, Russia brokered its own security deal with Saudi Arabia, undermining the petro-dollar and threatening its future.
The Russian Invasion of Ukraine
Fast forward to February 2022. Russia invaded Ukraine. In response, the U.S. and its allies imposed sanctions on Russia, froze Russian assets, and kicked Russian banks out of the international financial messaging system, SWIFT. This served as a major wake-up call to the nations of the world. Just as America’s abandonment of Afghanistan made every nation question America’s commitment to its allies, U.S. actions against Russia made the nations of the world realize what would happen if they ended up on America’s “bad list.” They now understand the risk of holding too many U.S. treasuries or of being too reliant on an international financial system dominated by the U.S. dollar. The result? These nations are now willing to explore (if not actively seek) an alternative to the dollar.
BRICS
In 2006, Brazil, Russia, India, and China (the BRIC nations) held the first BRIC Summit. The goal was to increase cooperation and explore opportunities for economic growth between these growing nations. In 2010, South Africa joined, and the coalition took on the moniker BRICS. Since then, BRICS has worked to create an alternative to the SWIFT payment system as well as a commodity-backed currency to challenge the U.S. dollar. As 2022 draws to a close, a host of additional nations have expressed interest in joining the BRICS coalition. Among them are some of the most important producers of oil and natural gas – Nigeria, Iran, Argentina, Algeria, Kazakhstan, and Indonesia. The latest nation to express interest? Saudi Arabia.
The Coming Destruction of the U.S. Dollar
If BRICS creates its own commodity-backed currency as an alternative to the U.S. dollar, and all the nations expressing interest join BRICS, it will destroy the dollar. Those nations represent over 50% of the world’s population and an even larger share of the world’s commodity production. If oil starts trading in other currencies… If the dollar loses its reserve currency status… If international trade is conducted in fewer and fewer dollars – meaning demand for dollars drops while supply remains the same – then a flood of dollars will return to the United States. This will cause massive inflation, a collapse in confidence in the U.S. dollar, and major destruction throughout the American economy. Interest rates will skyrocket, and the four pillars of American wealth – stocks, bonds, dollars, and real estate – will collapse in real terms. The U.S. will no longer be the world’s financial center. Its power will erode significantly.
CBCDs
Then what? Once the petro-dollar ends and the dollar experiences massive inflation or even hyperinflation, a new monetary system will have to take its place. Will it be the new BRICS currency or something else? We don’t know for sure. But in all likelihood, it will be built on blockchain. Many believe if BRICS creates a new commodity-backed currency, that currency won’t be convertible into the underlying commodity. Instead, the commodities will be pledged and anchored to the new currency via blockchain technology. Meanwhile, central banks openly discuss their plans to replace today’s national currencies with central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). Either way, a “great reset” is coming to the global financial system, and digital currencies will take over. When they do, government will wield unprecedented power. With such power, not only will government be able to track everything you buy or sell, it will be able to kick you out of the economic system – just as the Bible says.
What’s Coming to the World
When government-sponsored cryptocurrencies replace paper currencies, individual freedom and liberty will disappear. Governments will be able to “turn off” your cryptocurrency or reprogram it to determine how you can use it. For instance, if your social credit score isn’t high enough, they can reprogram the currency in your account to only work within five miles of your home or limit it to the purchase of specific “pre-approved” items. Ultimately, if you do something the government doesn’t approve of, they’ll be able to shut down your ability to buy and sell altogether. The Canadian government already showed its willingness to do this when it cut off financial access to anyone who supported the Canadian trucker protest.
The Bible says this is precisely what will happen in the end times. The Antichrist will establish a global system of commerce. His system will play a part in every economic transaction on earth. It will be so dominant that no one will be able to buy or sell anything without the Antichrist’s approval (Revelation 13:17). Does this sound like something far off in the future? It’s not. It’s fast approaching. We see the foundations of the Antichrist’s economic system coming into place today. The U.S. dollar will soon lose its status as the world’s reserve currency, and the world will be one step closer to the mark of the beast system.
It’s yet another sign we live in the season of the Lord’s return. We just experienced a global pandemic (Luke 21:11). A global famine is on the horizon (Matthew 24:7). Israel is back in the land (Jeremiah 23:7-8). The Jewish people are back in Jerusalem (Luke 21:24-28). And the Gospel is being preached throughout the world (Matthew 24:14). Make no mistake. The tribulation, the Antichrist, and global government are part of the world’s immediate future. But don’t despair; this also means the return of Jesus is part of our immediate future (Revelation 22:20). And His is an everlasting kingdom (Daniel 2:44) with no more death or crying or pain (Revelation 21:4). So keep your eyes fixed on Him!

I'm sure many will welcome the antichrist, even right now. By the time he is revealed though, most ill welcome him. thankfully, we'll be gone by then!

Christians need to be careful not to follow the words of man, their influences and intellect, instead of the words of God. speaking of man's false words, sorcery, etc. I just read where Klaus Schwab Says ‘God Is Dead’ And The WEF ( world economic forum) Is ‘Acquiring Divine Powers but not only does he say that...they actually say:
The World Economic Forum, have also declared that “Jesus is fake news,” and that WEF leaders have “acquired divine powers” to rule over humanity...
According to the WEF, Jesus is fake news, God is dead, and you do not have a soul.
You are a “hackable animal” who does not have the capacity for free will.
plus Klaus Schwab’s right hand man Yuval Noah Harari also promises the WEF will turn humans into gods
Who also said that? 4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” Genesis 3:4,5
Did you read that from the articles quoted in the latest article I posted here?

That's ok hon. Don't worry about it. We can hardly believe it's even winter as it's been so warm here. In fact, it's been so warm that weeds have grown back in my garden! I always make sure I've gotten rid of all the weeds by the end of fall, so come spring it's not already overrun with them. But I was shocked the other day when I glanced at the garden and saw all kinds of weeds! It's only gotten down to freezing a couple of times so far. Normally the high is in the thirties in November, but not this time. I just looked at the forecast and it looks like we won't get to the thirties till the middle of December this year. Doesn't look good for snow before Christmas.
It's amazing that we humans don't understand what God says or how the world is against Him. If the world says something is good, then you can bet that Jesus says it's evil. If the word is against something, you can bet that God is for it. That's how our sin natures are, and it's how Satan is. Only those of us who are saved can understand this; the rest simply can't see it. So whenever the church starts agreeing about anything with the world, it's a HUGE red flag to me. It doesn't matter whether it's a political party, or candidate, or the best way to witness about Jesus, if the world likes it, God doesn't!

Thank you Kelly. It's going to take awhile. He still has a lot of tests to go, and even then I'm not sure there's much they can do. But we will see. God's Will will be done and that always works out for our good. I'm planning on just relaxing today for the most part. This is wearing me out some.

I'll have to let Bruce know that the man that played Texas Ranger Trivette died.
Yesterday was a long day for us. We spent hours in the hospital with our son Chris, and today will be more of the same as they're doing all kinds of tests to try and figure out what's causing all his problems.

I've had one cup of coffee already, so I'm ready for my second cup now!
Yes Steve I have noticed that. Check out this latest article. I posted in reply to it about what I found in our little newspaper too.
I hope you're all doing well and that everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Jenn and her family came to our house as usual, as did Christopher and one of his friends. After dinner we all played Monopoly and had a good time!
Here's the link to this weeks article. I'm sorry I'm so late posting it. fresh-hope.com/thread/7688/give-leader

I was reading our local newspaper yesterday and was shocked at what I read. I still can't believe it. A professional photographer wrote a long article about how horrible republicans are and that Christians are even worse. He said, and I quote, "The most frightening aspect of all this, however, is how few Americans are willing to acknowledge and confront the hard line religious nationalism, specifically Christian nationalism in America, that seeks to undermine our democratic principles in order to exclude the Other from the Public Square. And that other - if you are not white, born again, evangelical Christian- includes you." He then went on to say this wasn't just true in America, but all over the world. He speaks about needing a one world government and one world religion, saying that's the only way to fix the troubles of the world! After speaking about other religions and other countries, he finally says "What I do believe, what matters to me is that I'm witnessing in these troubled democratic lands is not Hinduism, not Judaism, not Christianity, but manifestations of using religion as a cloak to conceal their greed and desire for profit and power".
If I'd read this in some big city newspaper it wouldn't have shocked me so much. Mainly because the big cities are usually far ahead of very rural areas. And, since NH only has two real "cities" we're usually the last to follow the rest of the world. So to read that in our little town, was mind blowing to me. It certainly showed me just how advanced the whole idea of people wanting a one world government and one world religion is.

By Daymond Duck; November 26, 2022
Since the mid-term elections, TV and social media pundits are saying, “Biden, Pelosi, Trump, and McConnell are too old. We need fresh blood, someone with new ideas to solve our problems. It is time for someone else to lead, someone that can appeal to young voters, a uniter, not a divider.”
The interesting thing about this is that Bible prophecy teachers have long said there will be an outcry for “a man with a plan” at the end of the age.
We can be sure he (the Antichrist) is coming, and it is even likely that he is alive and ready to answer the call.
It is no coincidence that both parties are calling for a new leader at the same time the New York Federal Reserve Bank and several other banks are conducting a 12-week pilot program (The 12 weeks started on Nov. 15, 2022) to study the use of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).
Just to let you know, LifeSiteNews posted an article by Emily Mangiaracina dated Nov. 16, 2022, that says:
Some banks involved in the 12-week pilot program are global banks (As global banks, they will impact the global economic system).
The government says CBDCs will speed up transactions and improve the global financial system (They are predicting a worldwide impact).
If the government starts using CBDCs, they can monitor everything people buy and sell (in every nation that uses them).
If the government wants to impose negative interest rates on citizens, the government can charge interest on the money citizens have in the bank.
If the government wants to deduct taxes from citizens’ bank accounts, the government can deduct taxes without the citizens’ permission.
If other nations want to use the CBDC, it can be a multi-national currency (It can even be transformed into a one-world currency).
The U.S. government has not said when a CBDC might be implemented, but the 12-week pilot program is taking place now (It could be implemented when the U.S. government wants to implement it).
(My opinion: The Mark of the Beast will be implemented in the middle of the Tribulation Period. Christians will see it beginning to come to pass, but the Pre-Trib Rapture will remove Christians before it is implemented.)
(Another opinion: At the same time that all of this is beginning to come to pass, globalists want to replace the Ten Commandments in the Bible with ten climate change commandments and make them global law. Should I say Mystery Babylon the Great, The Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth?)
(Another opinion: These prophecies were given almost 2,000 years ago, and anyone that thinks it is just a coincidence or a conspiracy theory that all of these things are happening at the same time needs to think again, and they may need to make their salvation sure.)
Here are more prophecy-related current events that recently made the news.
One, concerning the tracking of all buying and selling: on Nov. 9, 2022, a joint directive by China’s National Health Commission and other health-related agencies called for the healthcare records of China’s 1.4 billion citizens to be digitized and linked to their national ID number by 2025.
Chinese government agencies can then track and deny benefits to any citizen that doesn’t comply with government policies.
Two, concerning the growth of Israel at the end of the age: on Nov. 18, 2022, it was reported that Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to legalize dozens of settlements in Judea and Samaria within 60 days of being sworn in as Israel’s next Prime Min.
This will have to be approved by the Knesset.
Pres. Biden, many world leaders, and the Palestinians will strongly oppose it.
Three, according to Rev. 16:12, the great Euphrates River will dry up during the Tribulation Period to allow the Kings of the East (an alliance of Eastern nations probably under the leadership of China) to move their 200-million-man army into the Middle East in preparation for an attack on Israel.
On Nov. 18, 2022, it was reported that the rainfall in Iraq has declined by 30% over the last 3 decades, almost 40% of Iraq is now desert, dams are reducing the flow of water from Turkey, and the flow of water in the river is now down to about 20% of what it once was.
(Note: This is causing lakes behind dams to dry up, reducing the supply of electricity, causing crop failure, threatening the supply of food and drinking water, and more. It is a major disaster in the making.)
Four, concerning world government: at the recent G20 meeting (19 major nations plus the EU) on Nov. 15-16, 2022, Klaus Schwab, head of the World Economic Forum (WEF), said, “We (the nations) need a “deep systemic and structural restructuring of our world.”
The nations are transitioning to a restructured world (called Build Back Better or The Great Reset) right now, and this transition will lead to the rise of Antichrist and the Tribulation Period.
Five, concerning world government: on Nov. 18, 2022, French Pres. Emanuel Macron said, “We need a single global order” (a New World Order to maintain peace and stability in the world).
Many students of Bible prophecy know the UN goal is 2030 or sooner.
Every day takes us one day closer, and they are going by fast for some people.
Six, concerning the coming world religion and the Conference of Parties (COP27) meeting at Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, earlier this month: on Nov. 21, 2022, it was reported that members of the Interfaith Sustainable Development Center took their 10 climate change commandments to Mt. Sinai and smashed them to mirror Moses’s smashing the stone tablets that God wrote the Ten Commandments on.
The 10 climate change commandments were written by the Elijah Board of World Religious Leaders, and they were smashed to protest the world’s inaction on climate change.
Seven, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has an undeniable record of supporting unlimited abortion, same-sex marriage, gender conversions, climate change which favors reducing the population of the earth, and Covid-19 vaccinations that cause miscarriages or infertility.
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, the birth rate in the U.S. has dropped to the point that we are no longer replacing all our deceased citizens.
This has prompted Schumer to say the U.S. has a worker shortage and we need to embrace more immigrants.
Have you got that?
Schumer wants to kill babies of U.S. citizens, pay for transgender operations and Covid-19 vaccinations to prevent babies from being born, etc., but he wants to increase the population of the U.S. with illegal immigrants from other countries.
Who would have ever thought that a U.S. Senator would want to stop U.S. citizens from reproducing and replace them with illegal immigrants?
Eight, concerning pestilence and a deliberate reduction in the population of the earth: on Nov. 22, 2022, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), delivered a speech about Covid-19 at the White House where he said, “I did not imagine, and I don’t think any of my colleagues imagined that we would see a three-year saga of suffering and death and a million Americans losing their lives.”
One million people might not have died if Dr. Fauci and his colleagues had not deliberately blocked the use of Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine.
The blood of one million Americans may be on their hands.
Nine, concerning corruption in the recent elections: a Trump supporter, Kari Lake (R), challenged Arizona’s Sec. of State, Kati Hobbs (D), for Governor.
As Sec. of State, Hobbs was Arizona’s top election official.
The Republican, Lake, called for the Democrat, Hobbs, to resign her position in charge of the election, but Hobbs refused to resign.
There were 223 polling places in Maricopa County where most of the Arizona voters live, and the printer ink in the tabulation machines was too light in 70 of the tabulation machines that were in predominantly Republican areas.
The voting was slowed, and voters were told to leave their ballots so they could be counted someplace else.
With 98% of the votes counted and Hobbs leading by about 17,200 votes, Hobbs declared herself the winner of the election.
Lake has requested a revote in those areas where the tabulation machines failed, and the votes were counted someplace else.
Hobbs, who oversees the election and declared herself the winner, refuses to do it.
As the person in charge of the election, Hobbs had 2 years to be sure the tabulation machines had the right ink in them and they worked properly.
Hobbs’ actions have caused doubt about the validity of the election.
Lake has attorneys reviewing the situation and says she is still in the fight.
Arizona’s Attorney Gen. has ordered Maricopa County to submit a full report on how the election was conducted, and election officials in two Republican-led counties are refusing to certify the election.
(Note: Demonstrators protesting about a stolen election in Brazil have had their bank accounts frozen and been banned from posting information on social media.)
Ten, concerning inflation: on Nov. 19, 2022, the American Farm Bureau Federation reported that the average Thanksgiving meal with all the trimmings will cost 20% more in the U.S. this year than last year.
(More: A report by the Heritage Foundation says inflation in the U.S. has cost the average family $7,400 in 2022. At this rate, many families will own nothing before 2030.)
Eleven, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog in the latter days and latter years: this week, I read that Israel is extremely concerned about recent developments in the relationship between Russia and Iran (sale of drones, oil, etc.), so Israel is monitoring and assessing that relationship every day.
(More: On Nov. 21, 2022, it was reported that Israel’s National Security Advisor notified Russia that Israel will start supplying high-precision missiles to Ukraine if Iran starts supplying ballistic missiles to Russia. Putin has warned Israel against supplying weapons to Ukraine.)
Twelve, concerning world government: on Nov. 22, 2022, lifesitenews.com reported that Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano recently told a group of medical doctors (summarized in the words of Vigano and myself):
At the recent G-20 Summit, Klaus Schwab discussed the World Economic Forum’s future steps toward the creation of a world government.
Schwab said: “In the fourth industrial revolution, the winners will take it all, so if you are a World Economic Forum first mover, you are the winners.”
Vigano said, “These (Schwab’s) very serious statements have two implications: the first is that ‘the winners will take it all’ and will be ‘winners.’ The second is that those who do not adapt to this ‘fourth industrial revolution’ will find themselves ousted and will lose – they will lose everything, including their freedom.”
Vigano added, “It is a global coup d’état…. Those who govern nations have all become either enslaved or blackmailed by this international mafia.”
“The driving principles (of people like Klaus Schwab, George Soros, and Bill Gates) are rebellion against God, hatred for the Church and humanity, and destructive fury aimed against Creation and especially against man because he is created in the image and likeness of God.”
“It is not possible to pretend that what is happening before our eyes is solely the result of profit-seeking or the desire for power. Certainly, the economic part cannot be disregarded, considering how many people have collaborated with the World Economic Forum. And yet, beyond profit, there are unstated purposes that stem from a “theological” vision – one that is turned upside-down, it’s true, but still theological – a vision that sees two opposing sides: the side of Christ and the side of the Antichrist.”
“Our battle is not against creatures made of flesh and blood, but against the Principalities and Powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the spirits of evil that dwell in the heavenly places” (Eph 6:12).
As I understand Vigano, there is more behind the creation of a New World Order than well-funded rich men lusting for money and power.
World leaders are under the influence of organized spiritual forces that are working to get rid of God and enslave everyone under an antichrist government.
One of Vigano’s most profound statements is, “There can be no neutrality because when there is a clash between two armies, those who choose not to fight are also making a choice that affects the outcome of the battle.”
Here is a link to the article:
www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/abp-vigano-the-covid-pandemic-farce-served-as-a-trial-balloon-for-the-new-world-order/?
Twelve, concerning world government: on May 22-28, 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) met to vote on 13 amendments the U.S. wanted to a treaty that would give the WHO control over the healthcare of every individual on earth.
12 of the amendments were tabled, and all the nations were given permission to submit amendments until Sept. 2022.
WHO’s consideration of the amendments was scheduled to begin in Nov. 2022.
The WHO soon announced that it would draft a new treaty called the International Pandemic Treaty based on the requested amendments.
The WHO also wanted the power to declare public health emergencies, require a digital passport, and a digital ID system.
So, the WHO said it would draft a treaty that would allow the WHO to:
- Declare public health emergencies,
- Control everyone’s health care,
- Require a digital passport, and
- Require a digital ID system.
The WHO said it would ask for the New International Treaty to be finalized by 2024 (By 2024 probably means before the end of 2023).
In addition to declaring a public health emergency over nations, the WHO said it would also ask for the power to declare a public health emergency over regions of nations.
Nothing was said about how many regions of nations there will be.
The WHO said it wanted an Emergency Committee of “Regional Directors” (or Regional Czars) that would report to the WHO Director-General.
The WHO would have the power to declare (and enforce) a public health emergency even if the leaders of individual nations disagreed.
This means the WHO Director-General and Regional Directors would have power over the nations.
Think about it: global digital passport, global digital ID system, the world divided into regions under Regional Directors, the Regional Directors reporting to one man (the Director General).
I don’t know if all of this is in the treaty or not, but this I do know: On Nov. 11, 2022, naturalnews.com reported that the New International Pandemic Treaty is in the final stages of development.
According to Mike Adams and Dr. Francis Boyle, the treaty has been “specifically written to overturn the United States Constitution and all domestic laws in every nation worldwide.”
The article says, “In essence, the new WHO pandemic treaty turns the entire world into a China-style medical police state where sovereign nations, states, and individuals themselves have no recognized health freedom rights whatsoever.”
It says, “Even worse, the WHO pandemic treaty calls for global censorship against all who disagree with the WHO, allowing the WHO to dictate which voices or organizations should be removed from tech platforms.”
“In essence, it makes the WHO the ‘Ministry of Truth.'”
Here is a link to an article:

Here is a link to a video:

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; believe that 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.

Another good one! I agree with what you said about this verse: ““ ‘And you took your sons and daughters whom you bore to me and sacrificed them as food to the idols. Was your prostitution not enough? You slaughtered my children and sacrificed them to the idols.” (Ezekiel 16:20–21) I've heard some people ask what idol mother mothers are sacrificing their babies to. The answer is the idol of "self" They think the world revolves around them and they want the world to revolve around them. You can see it even in children especially after they've hit puberty. They're often self conscious, thinking everyone is looking at them and seeing every flaw they think their body has. When the truth is that none of their peers are looking at them because they're all thinking the same thing. Again, it's all about self. I can't wait till we're with the Lord so I'll never focus on myself again!
I'd like to add something to what you said about these scriptures: “But God found fault with the people and said: “The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not remain faithful to my covenant, and I turned away from them, declares the Lord. This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.” (Hebrews 8:8–10) This is a quote from Jeremiah 31:31–34, where God is speaking to his people Israel. It's actually an announcement of the good news that Jesus will bring to the remnant of Israel that's left at the end of the Tribulation. For that is when the Jews will realize that Jesus really is their Messiah and will put their faith in Him. At that instant, Jesus will renew their minds, and will pour His love into their hearts, causing them to know and love Him as their Lord and Savior. They will be brought back to Israel and enter the Millennial Kingdom with Kind David as a co ruler of the earth. People all over the earth will go to Jerusalem to learn about Jesus from the Jews. People everywhere will want to know them and be with them. While they were hated on earth over all these years since Adam, from then on they will be loved and sought after by everyone!
You don't have to go back and make up the days you didn't post hon. Unless you really want to anyway. Otherwise, just post what you read the day you're posting.

@lulu We had a wonderful thanksgiving! I hope you all did too!
anna No, no parades here. We're a very small, rural town. When we do have a parade, like on veterans day or memorial day, it's just the local high school kids walking down the street, with the kids in the band playing something and any vets marching along in front of them.
Bruce has a migraine so I need to go check on him. Have a great day you all!
