Netflix Epic on Moses Platforms Biased Scholar Who Expressed Joy on Oct.7
A newly-released Netflix documentary series on the biblical story of Moses has given a platform to an Egyptian scholar who referred to the biblical Promised Land as “Palestine” and expressed happiness during Hamas’ October 7 massacre in southern Israel, HonestReporting revealed this week.
“Testament: The Story of Moses” is currently riding high in the Netflix Top 10 in numerous countries, including Israel and others in the Middle East.
But the exposure of one of its interviewees — Dr. Monica Hanna from Egypt’s College of Archaeology and Cultural Heritage casts a shadow over an otherwise enjoyable and informative documentary drama released just in time for Passover.
In the show, which depicts the saga of the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt, Hanna shoehorns “Palestine” into the narrative, although it did not exist at the time:

(Slay News – Frank Bergman) Alarming figures revealed in official government data expose the shocking impact on young people from the global Covid mRNA vaccination campaign.
Official data published by the UK government’s Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows that young people who have received four Covid shots are a staggering 318% more likely to die than their unvaxxed piers.
The data shows a huge spike in sudden deaths and major health complications of quad-vaxxed young people aged 18-39 years old.
An analysis of the data by The Exposé revealed that February 2023 shows the widest margin of mortality rates between the unvaccinated group and those who had received four shots.

I likewise am not feeling the best. For one thing we have a lot of rain again... and even at best, that often makes me sleepy/tired. But also I am just so tired of being in pain! And then, I seemed to be fighting a slight cold, sneezes and coughing sigh!
However, you have had such an incredible hard year, Cindy... it's amazing you are on your feet at all! I would be under the covers and not been seen for months or longer!I'm so sorry you're not feeling well hon. I'll pray you feel better quickly! I do understand about being really tired of being in pain though. I am too, but then I'm sure Jesus was pretty tired of it even before He was nailed to the cross. I think of things like that to help me persevere. Then I think of the fact that this pain is temporary and we will never ever feel pain again once we get to heaven!
The Lord answered my prayer and I was better yesterday so we were able to go to Chris' house and get the TV's and one of the guys, Bob, found the pictures for me! Finally! Kids are coming over today so I have to get busy NOW!
You got that right Bank rules MSNBC LOL! OH MOM she yelllng at TV right now Ive been trying to understand something - the jews originally were the church, but God then opened the church to gentiles. if after the church ceased to be purely jewish, is the country of israel still relevant in scripture, and as such are old testament prophecies also still active? I know many people consider israel to be the church, not a physical country so am trying to unravel it all.... Steve, there is a GREAT deal of false teaching about the church and Israel today, just as there's a ton of false teaching about everything else now, since we're actually living in what is called the "great falling away" or the "apostasy" or the "rebellion" etc. All of those are speaking of people listening to false teaching rather than the truth.(2 Thessalonians 2:3) Anyway, yes, Israel is very relevant in scripture and all the Old testament prophecies WILL be fulfilled! In fact, we're seeing the start of some of them now! All of God's promises to Israel will be fulfilled during the Millennial Kingdom, after "all Israel" has been saved. Sadly, two thirds of the Jews will perish during the Tribulation so only one third will remain to be saved, but God will save them and then pour out his blessings on them in fulfillment of all His promises to them. They will have finally paid for rejecting Jesus as their Messiah the first time around. Jesus Himself told us “not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.” (Matthew 5:18) The full answer to your question requires a great deal of detail. I don't mind explaining it all, but only if you really want to hear it. The very short answer is this: don't listen to anyone who says that Israel isn't relevant now or won't be relevant; don't listen to anyone who suggests that the church is Israel! That's ridiculous! Those are false teachings that I sure wouldn't want to stand in front of our Lord and have to admit that I'd bought into them! For now I'll just give you a few links that talk about this:
www.gty.org/library/sermons-library/45-82/has-god-cancelled-his-promises-to-israel--part-1
There's a bunch more on MacArthur's site. On the upper right hand side of these sermons is a 'search' link you can click on. Just type in "Is God finished with Israel" and it'll show you all the sermons about it.
this should keep you busy for awhile !

It is amazing how fast, so many things are happening now!! Setting up for the coming tribulation.
Thinking, for example, of the mass hatred of the Jews!
I can see how when the anti-Christ turns up, and says he can make it all go away, and give them peace, many of them will be on his team... at least for a while.
But, the unveiling of the hatred was so fast! 6 months time only...
and it seems everywhere in the world, is hatred for Jews and Israel! So, so sad! But God did tell us this would be!
I completely agree!

Barbara, when I googled about the church threat, it did show one for 2018, so maybe that's where he got it from. I have no idea. But usually there's what we used to call "a paper trail" when something is true, and I didn't see that for that video.
I checked before coming here and that video is still on my news feed so people can still access it if they want to.
I haven't been feeling well since yesterday afternoon, so I'm not up to doing much more today. Sorry.

Barbara, I don't know how long it will stay up, but I got that video on facebook.... I just posted it here under a different title and posted that thread on facebook.
fresh-hope.com/thread/9889/video
By the way, I'm not saying it's not true, but I googled it and couldn't find any real evidence that churches were at a higher risk of attack now than they were last year.
I also posted a study I'd been working on for quite awhile. You're welcome to check it out, but if you do, you may want to first just skim it and get down to the end and see what the point of it all is, and then go back if you want to and check it out further. It'll at least save you time lol
fresh-hope.com/thread/9888/study-working-on-wanted-share
I posted a couple of those other videos in End Times as well so other people would see them besides just us on this thread.

I have been studying in Genesis lately as well as Revelation and would like to share some of the things that it's caused me to think about and see what insights you may have about it as well. First I'd like to share with you the ages of our first ancestors and how long they lived. Math is not my thing, but I used a calculator and triple checked each one, so I think my numbers are right. I'll come back and include the scriptures for when the person was first born and mentioned for you as I have for Seth and Enosh already (just hover your mouse over them to read them)... Also, feel free to check my math, as it's not my strong suit!.
Trust me...there is a point to all of this. You may want to just skim through all of to the very end and see the point and then come back and note whatever is of interest to you. I found it fascinating. Adam had been dead 726 years when the flood came. Seth had been dead 614 years when the flood came. (Genesis 4:25 is when he was born) Enosh had been dead 516 years when the flood came. (Genesis 4:26) Kenan had been dead 421 years when the flood came.

(Genesis 11:12–15) Eber was 385 when when Jacob & Esau were born. Eber lived 464 years. (Genesis 11:16–17)
The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah is used over 20 times in Scripture as an illustration of God’s judgment during the days of Abraham and Lot (Gen 18:22–19:29). This destruction was in view of their apostasy, since it occurred about 450 years after the Flood, when at least one of Noah’s sons, Shem (Gen 11:10-11) was still living. This was only 100 years after Noah’s death (Gen 9:28), so people would have known about the message of righteousness and judgment from God which Noah preached, and which they rejected.

I agree that the AI has now become "God" to many people, including many who call themselves Christians. For some it's happened without them actually intending it to, yet it still happened. It's scary how AI has taken over everything.

Iran has been hit by extreme flooding, and at least 18 people have died in flash floods that have swept the southeastern Iranian province of Sistan-Baluchestan. Several villages were destroyed, and power and water were cut to around 300 more. Landslides that have blocked critical roads and communication routes. Government sources have indicated damage to water facilities in 289 villages and six cities.
Iranian state news agency IRNA reported on Thursday that heavy rains and flooding also hit the provinces of Bandar Abbas, Kerman, Sistan, and Baluchistan. Rivers overflowed, and residents were warned by the Department of Environment, highlighting concerns about “short-nosed crocodiles” being forced out of their natural habitats.

Palestinian Cameramen Exposed in New Footage Documenting Oct. 7 Atrocities Side by Side with Terrorists
Harrowing footage distributed by Israeli media on Wednesday, April 17, showed Palestinian cameramen filming the violent abduction of Yarden Bibas into Gaza on October 7.
While their identity remains unclear, their presence amid a blood-thirsty mob of terrorists proves a disturbing truth: Gaza-based journalists covering Hamas atrocities that day did not bravely risk their lives, as declared by institutions that recently granted them awards, but operated easily without any objections from the perpetrators.

“The report calls for sex between adults and minors to be decriminalized, so long as the minors ‘consent’ … Minors, of course, cannot truly consent to sex with an adult — something these so-called experts should know.”
(Micaiah Bilger – Life News) A disturbing new report from the United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) adds to growing concerns about global leaders pushing to normalize pedophilia.
The report “The 8 March Principles for a Human Rights-Based Approach to Criminal Law Proscribing Conduct Associated with Sex, Reproduction, Drug Use, HIV, Homelessness and Poverty” on the UNAIDS website offers legal guidance on issues related to sex, including involving children under age 18.
Without any discussion about what the age of consent should be, the report suggests minors can consent to having sex with an adult.
“Sexual conduct involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual in fact, if not in law,” the report states.

Watch the video.
www.independentsentinel.com/victor-davis-hanson-us-civilization-is-in-freefall-its-all-mounting/
(Mary Dowling) “You can see it’s all mounting,” Victor Davis Hanson says in the clip below. “It’s a civilization in freefall.” When you know the problem and can’t fix it, society collapses.
These people causing this are very, very wealthy, all from political families, they all know each other, and they are all hard left. They never pay the consequences of their actions.
In California, illegal aliens are eligible for loan interest home loans, while citizens struggle, unable to pay their rent….
California is the fifth largest holder of natural gas, but gas at the pump is extremely expensive. It’s insane, VDH says.
The US abandons the melting pot and encourages people to behave as they would in their countries. There is no unity and assimilation so it becomes lawless. There is no law in Biden’s America.

“Like any slippery slope, the idea pushed boundaries further into the LGBTQ agenda when they cast a “gender non-conforming” person who goes by the name Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for the park. Videos surfaced of Bibbidi, who is clearly a man with a mustache wearing a dress and sprinkling pixie dust on children…”
(John Del Arroz – PJ Media) Disney is ramping up the grooming operations at their Walt Disney World park in Florida. In 2022, the company announced that it wouldn’t consider gender when casting for different characters in the park, which sparked backlash from responsible parents as they didn’t want Disney World to turn into a drag show for kids. According to a new report, parents’ fears have become a reality.
Disney went all in on the culture war to fight with Florida Gov. Ron Desantis, leading to a Republican primary election in which many thought Desantis had a chance against Donald Trump. While his candidacy misfired, his war with Disney and its push of evil gender ideology onto children continues. Nothing is more central to this war than Disney theme parks, a major source of revenue for the company and the only element of the media corporation that seems to be doing well in the culture war.

(Sarah Arnold – Townhall) In a shocking revelation, the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Dr. Hanna Nohynek admitted that COVID-19 vaccine passports may have been a scam.
During a recent testimony in a Helsinki courtroom, Nohynek—a chief physician at the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare and serves as the WHO’s chair of the Strategic Group of Experts on immunization— suggested that vaccine passports were part of a plan to advance the global vaccine agenda. She also claimed that the WHO knowingly endorsed the Covid mRNA jab despite being fully aware of their limited efficacy against the virus.
During that time, the WHO said it was working to “create an international trusted framework” for safe travel while EU regions were just beginning to enforce COVID passports for anyone wanting to dine in a restaurant, see a movie, or go to the gym, among other things.

“The true gospel is offensive to the world, the lost world, which hates us because of Christ. Will we embrace the indignation that comes with uncompromising truth, or will we settle for a counterfeit Christianity that ultimately leads to spiritual ruin?”
(The Dissenter) Today’s Evangelical landscape reveals a chilling spectacle—a dismal reality where the very foundation of Christianity has been grossly diluted. This watered-down gospel, prevailing in the vast majority of what calls themselves “churches,” caters to a cultural craving for affirmation and comfort while discarding the inconvenient truths of Scripture…. It’s a grueling scene where many so-called “churches” have surrendered their duty to equip, teach, and evangelize. Instead, they’ve embraced an ethos of entertainment and delusional self-help motivational preaching that distorts the true function of the Church making a mockery of its God-given call.

Can you imagine sitting with any or all of the apostles to discuss the Word together? Of course learning from Jesus would be best but I'd love to learn from all of them. Actually we already do learn from the ones that wrote scripture but I'm talking about being able to discuss it with them. That would be so cool! Talk about Heaven!

I've never trusted doctors very much. There are a few I've trusted, and still would if they were around, but most are gone now. Like you Barbara, I too can see the S curve in my lower back. In fact, it was feeling that and then seeing it that made me ask for the MRI and other tests back in 2017. I knew something new had happened as it had also gotten much harder to walk. Also like you, the doctor that ordered that MRI told me when he saw it that I needed surgery, the sooner the better. I thanked him but declined. I don't do surgery anymore!
I've had any number of diagnosis's on my back, most of which simply meant that they didn't know what was causing all the pain. They knew some of it, but not all of it. I always appreciate it when a doctor admits he doesn't know something. I'd much rather they do that than make up something! They knew I had two very bad disks that had blown out on both sides in my lower back. And like everyone else I had degenerative disk disease. But my first doctor ignored my hips even though I kept telling him that they hurt. He insisted it was my pelvis, but I knew it was my hips. They also saw some arthritis in my spine.
Other doctors really didn't try to discover why I hurt, they just kept filling the narcotic medicine. So I've been on that same narcotic, same dose for 17 years and it doesn't do all that much anymore. Now I have Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in my spine and just about every joint in my body, especially my hips, knees and hands.
Doctors don't understand God at all. They're always shocked when I tell then that the Lord always gives me at least 5 days a year when I don't need to take any of the narcotic. Their reply is, "don't you have withdrawals?" No! God wouldn't do that! This one then said, "Well I bet if you went 3 days in a row without any, then you'd have withdrawals!" I didn't reply, but when I got in the car to go home I had to laugh because about 5 years ago the Lord DID give me 3 days in a row with no narcotics, and no withdrawals! I tell them I don't take the stuff if I don't need it and I don't even think about it if I don't need it. They don't believe me although they haven't yet actually verbalized that. I went to this guy because I really want off the pain med. I've been praying about it for the last couple of years and I want to take something that's not a narcotic if possible. So I may put up with this guy for awhile if he's willing to do that.
This evil is so overwhelming. I'm tired of thinking.
Going to listen to some Bach: Danill Trifonov "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" and Polina Osetenskya " Where Sheep May Safely Graze", thats where I would sure like to be. I love "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring"!It is because it is a pink full moon tonight, Seven and Oliver. lol Went to the transfer station today, a truck load, I am cleaning and getting rid of all that I do not use. i plan on things to do but my body always says slow down, I get too tired to finish the work and there is always a new day to accomplish more.
That Azure Standard that I get my food from is now able to go LA because they bought a small truck just for driving in the big city, they are expanding their drop off along the West coast Interstate from WA to CA. They don't pay a fee for delivery but the midwest and eastern states pay 8% fee for delivery, glad I am still in the area of free delivery, also those states must have a $3,400 minimun at each place they stop to drop off. They get so much business now that they are often out of stock on things to order, it is good qualilty but of course then is high priced. I looked it up Marlene and it looks really good! They even have a drop off that's only 20 minutes away. Taking a truck load to the dump is exactly what I want to do too! Hopefully in a couple of weeks after we get paid again.

I'm thankful that some Christians used AA and got better, but I would never, ever recommend AA to anyone. I'd much rather recommend a godly program like Teen Challenge or the one you suggested. AA and other secular programs teach them that they will always be an alcoholic or drug abuser. But Jesus says that once you're saved you are a new creation and the old has passed away! That sounds like a much better deal to me!

Thank you for your kind words. I'm sorry I didn't see them before as I was ill, and then just plain forgot about this thread. That's one thing I hate about this board is that you don't get notified like we did on my old site. But then you get what you pay for I guess lol. This is certainly much better than nothing when you can't afford to continue the price of having your own site. I've always loved Teen Challenge. They're the best!

I really enjoyed your post! Thanks so much for taking the time to post it Barbara. I enjoy both McGee and MacArthur too. I also believe it will be taught in heaven, because Jesus said: “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.” (Matthew 24:35) At least I hope so cause I want to study it with Jesus!

Thanks for telling me about it. I'm not going to read it though as I refuse to put that kind of stuff into my mind.

I totally agree Barbara. I had a very long doctors appointment yesterday which has me kind of befuddled. After looking at my xrays and MRI etc this doctor told me basically that I've been misdiagnosed for the last 24 years. He doesn't know that I have what the orthopedic doctor told me about my MRI and other tests in writing, and what he told me was the opposite of what this doctor says. All the doctors agree except this one. So do I believe the majority or the one? He wants new xrays which I'll do, but I told him there was no way I could lay down for a MRI, so at least I don't have to have that done again. So now I have to go back on Friday for xrays. I chose that afternoon since Bruce has an appointment with another doctor then anyway. Josh just sent me a message that he had to sign for mail for one of the estates, so we'll have to go get that today too. I was really hoping to just get to rest today.

Thank you all for your prayers. Yes, the last two days were especially hard. I was so angry at the way Christopher's friend stopped taking care of his cats. I had originally told him I'd take them to the shelter but he insisted he'd care for them, so I mistakenly let him. Only to discover recently that all three had been left outside (they're mainly indoor cats although allowed out during the afternoon if they want to go out. They have been living in a filthy garage for the last few weeks apparently. I hate it when animals are abused and while they weren't actually abused, they were neglected and certainly weren't loved. I also went in the house and it's filthy too. It looks like it hasn't been cleaned at all in the last month and Chris kept it really clean. I'll be glad when the Sheriff evicts Josh.
It only took us about 5 minutes to get the last little girl cat. Thankfully, she did well on the drive to the shelter. Actually both girls did well on the long drive. (it's about a 45 minute drive to the shelter.) But the boy cat, Merlin, he was really stressed out the whole way there. Nothing I did or said calmed him at all. About two minutes before we got there, he finally made himself sick he was so stressed. Both of the girls just settled down and took a nap. I just kept telling them that they would never be cold, hungry or thirsty again and would have someone to really love and care for them soon, and till then, they'd have lots of friends. I was encouraged when we brought the last one in yesterday because when one of the girls happened to look up and see us, she told the girl who was getting the papers out on the cats that, "Oh, that's Ki Ki, (pronounced Key Key - my ex husband named her) she's the sister of Merlin and Cocoa who came in yesterday. The lady with us realized who we were then.
I have to run now as I have a doctors appointment and then have to stop at the lawyers to sign a paper for him.

On Apr. 8, 2024, Bible prophecy expert Hal Lindsey wrote,
These (nations arming as never before, Russia attacking Ukraine, China threatening Taiwan, etc.) and a host of other things going on today make a perfect setup for events that the Bible says will take place during seven years of tribulation. I believe those years are very close. But they are not imminent. The global conflagrations described in Revelation will not take place until after the Rapture — that is, until after God has evacuated His people from the planet.
I can only speculate on what Hal Lindsey’s list of “other things” would include, but here is a short list of things that I see:
Israel has come back into being, Jerusalem has been rebuilt, radical Muslims are trying to destroy Israel, the whole world is turning against Israel, Israel has unblemished red heifers, religious Jews want to rebuild the Temple, world leaders are demanding a covenant of peace, etc. - Europe (the Revived Roman Empire) has reunited, leaders are talking about creating and financing an EU military, etc.
- The New World Order (world government by 2030 or sooner) is rising, a global economic collapse appears to be looming, the price of gold and silver is soaring, the technology to track all buying and selling is almost ready, etc.
- Russia, Iran, Turkey, and others have troops in Syria; Russian troops and Iranian proxies in Syria are moving closer to Israel’s border; Russia is building military sites on Syria’s border with Israel; Iran is threatening to attack Israel, etc.
- Deceit, immorality, false teachings, Satan worship, drug abuse, and murder are rampant.
- Knowledge (artificial intelligence, quantum computers, etc.) is increasing faster than society can adapt.
These things are a perfect setup for the fulfillment of Tribulation Period prophecies, and (as Hal Lindsey noted) the Rapture will happen before that. Here are recent events that appear to indicate that the end of the age is near.
One, on Apr. 13, 2024, Iran started attacking Israel:
- Israel, Syria, and Jordan went on high alert.
- It took 4-5 hours for the bomb-carrying drones to reach Israel.
- The drones were large because they had to be big enough to carry several hours of fuel and a bomb.
- It is estimated that about 170 drones, 30 cruise missiles, and 120 ballistic missiles and rockets were fired at Israel (and Israel, the U.S., UK, and Jordan shot down about 99% of them).
- Some of the 1% that got through were shot down over Jerusalem. (Oddly enough, Israel wound up protecting the Dome of the Rock from Iran.)
- Hezbollah fired dozens of rockets at Israel.
- Israel called it an unprecedented attack by Iran on Israel.
- Israel’s war cabinet approved a powerful response on Iranian soil.
- The U.S. urged Israel not to retaliate.
- Biden told Israel U.S. forces will not participate in an Israeli attack on Iran.
- The U.S. asked Israel for advance notice before they respond.
- Israel said it will coordinate their response with the U.S.
- Russia warned the U.S. not to attack Iran.
- Russia started moving ships with supersonic missiles to the Middle East.
- Israel said, “The fact that Iran commanded and synchronized the attack with its proxies (Hezbollah and the Houthis) who also launched drones and missiles, is proof beyond doubt that Tehran directs the forces of terror in the Middle East, is behind efforts to destabilize the region, and is the source of the problem in the area.”
On Apr. 14, 2024,
- At America’s request, the G-7 met to coordinate a diplomatic response to the attack.
- At Israel’s request, the UN Security Council met to discuss the attack.
- Israel notified the UN that it reserves the right to retaliate against Iran if it decides to do so.
- Iran said the matter is concluded, but if Israel makes another mistake, our response will be more severe.
- Israel’s war cabinet met to discuss a response to Iran’s attack but did not make a final decision.
- Some U.S. and Israeli experts said Biden’s timid Iran policy led Iran to believe they could attack Israel and get away with it.
- Iran threatened to strike U.S. bases in the Middle East if Israel retaliates against Iran.
(More: Concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog, God said, “Thou (Russia and her allies) shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.” Iran’s drones headed toward Israel like a cloud. When Russia and her allies attack Israel, the planes and drones will head toward Israel like a cloud: Ezek. 38:9.)
(More: God promised Israel, “No weapon formed against thee shall prosper.” Iran’s drones failed, and the planes and drones of Russia and her allies will fail: Isa. 54:17.)
On Apr. 15, 2024,
- An Israeli official said an Israeli strike on Iran may be imminent.
- Iran vowed to launch 1,500 missiles at Israel if Israel retaliates for Iran’s drone attack.
- According to Israel Channel 12, an unsourced report said, “The response will be designed to send the message that Israel ‘will not allow an attack of that magnitude against it to pass without a reaction. The response will also be designed to make plain that Israel will not allow the Iranians to ‘establish the equation’ they have sought to assert in recent days. This appears to be a reference to Iran’s warning that future Israeli strikes on Iranian territory, including its international diplomatic premises, will henceforth again be met by Iranian retaliatory strikes on Israel.”
- Iranian citizens posted messages on X urging Israel to kill the ruling Iranian leaders and free them from being oppressed.
- Saudi Arabia blamed Iran for the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel.
On Apr. 16, 2024,
- Israel’s war cabinet expects to make a final decision on retaliation against Iran today.
- The U.S. and EU are considering more sanctions on Iran. (My opinion: Sanctions on Iran are not enforced, and they are a sham that doesn’t work.)
- Israel’s war cabinet decided to retaliate against Iran, but they did not set a date due to the complexities of preparation. Another report said Israel’s retaliation will likely be after Passover so citizens can celebrate the holiday before the fighting spreads.
- Turkish Pres. Erdogan blamed Netanyahu and his “bloody administration” for Iran’s first-ever attack on Israel (think Gog and Magog).
On Apr. 17, 2024,
- The Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah launched a drone in Lebanon that struck a community center in Israel and injured 18 civilians and reservists (4 serious, 14 moderate to light).
- Iran warned that the tiniest invasion by Israel would bring a massive and harsh response.
Two, concerning the decline of America: on Apr. 15, 2024, protestors in NY City,
- Waved Hezbollah (a terrorist group) flags and chanted “Death to America.”
- Grabbed a U.S. flag out of the hands of a young man, set it on fire, and it caught his clothes on fire.
Three, concerning deceit and the coming economic collapse: on Apr. 10, 2024, it was reported that “Democrat economist Larry Summers (served Clinton and Obama administrations; Harvard Univ. Professor; Chief Economist of World Bank, etc.), who repeatedly warned President Joe Biden in 2021 that his reckless government spending would lead to a serious inflation crisis, warned again this week that things have not improved and inflation is running much higher than the official government numbers state.”
As I understand it, this influential, highly respected Democrat warned that the American public is not being told the truth about the rate of inflation and the danger it poses for the U.S.
(More: On Apr. 13, 2024, it was reported that the price of oil has started back up, and if gas reaches $4 a gallon, Biden may sell more oil from America’s strategic oil reserves to improve his chance of being re-elected.)
(More: On Apr. 16, 2024, the Institute for Energy Research said the Biden administration and its allies have taken over 200 actions against the oil and natural gas industries that are deliberately designed to make it harder to produce energy here in America. This is contributing to the price increase, and they may try to cover it up by finishing off America’s already low strategic oil reserves.)
(My opinion: It seems to me that it would be wiser to spend money to replace the oil that has already been taken out of our strategic oil reserves than it is to finance drag shows, transgender surgeries, gay rights, and abortions in America and other countries.)
Four, concerning deceit and bias in the media: a senior editor (a Democrat) at the National Public Radio (NPR) organization recently admitted that 100% of staff in editorial positions are registered Democrats (87 Democrats and no Republicans).
U.S. taxpayers are NPR’s primary source of funding, so Republicans are asking why the organization only employs registered Democrats to edit its programs.
Five, concerning a borderless world and the surrender of America’s sovereignty: on Apr. 11, 2024, a group of 20 state attorneys general sued the Biden administration for flying “hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens from crime-plagued nations directly into cities across the United States.”
(More: On Apr. 11, 2024, a federal judge ruled that Georgia’s law requiring voters in Georgia to be citizens of the state of Georgia is legal. Plaintiffs argued that using their driver’s license, etc., to prove they live in the state is an unfair and illegal burden. In essence, the judge ruled that it is reasonable and not illegal.)
(More: On Apr. 13, 2024, former Pres. Trump met with the U.S. Speaker of the House to discuss new legislation to prevent illegal aliens from voting in U.S. national elections and possibly impacting the outcome. The Biden administration opposes attempts to require voters to prove they are citizens.)
Six, concerning deceit, a borderless world, and the decline of America: on Apr. 16, 2024, the U.S. National Security, Border, and Foreign Affairs subcommittee is expecting to be told that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service officials are monitoring 6 million illegal immigrants that have been let into the U.S., and approximately 617,000 of them have criminal convictions or criminal charges pending against them.
The subcommittee expects to be told that many of these criminals are gang members, drug dealers, and outlaws.
Incidentally, the Biden administration has been telling us that our border is secure.
Here is my daily update on the Israel-Hamas war:
Wednesday, Apr. 10, 2024 (Day 187): The one hundred-thirty-second day of the resumed war.
- S. and Israeli sources said an Iranian retaliatory attack on Israel is a matter of when, not if.
- Netanyahu warned Iran that Israel will attack Iran if Iran attacks Israel.
Thursday, Apr. 11, 2024 (Day 188): The one hundred-thirty-third day of the resumed war.
- The U.S. notified Israel that its commitment to Israel’s security is ironclad.
- An Israeli news site reported that Iran has decided to delay an attack on Israel or alter its retaliation plans (perhaps retaliate through proxies) because the U.S. said it might intervene on Israel’s side.
- Netanyahu said, “We set a simple principle: Anyone who hits us, we hit them.”
- 1,000 Jewish protestors marched to Netanyahu’s home in Jerusalem to demand an Israeli attack on Rafah to find and release the hostages.
Friday, Apr. 12, 2024 (Day 189): The one hundred-thirty-fourth day of the resumed war.
- Israeli officials said they believe Hamas is delaying a ceasefire in hopes that world leaders will force Israel to withdraw from Gaza without Hamas being defeated or releasing the hostages.
- An Israeli plan to attack Iran on Iranian territory was approved in the event that Iran attacks Israel on Israeli territory.
- Biden sent Iran a message: “Don’t. We are devoted to the defense of Israel. We will support Israel. We will help defend Israel, and Iran will not succeed.”
- The U.S. is moving warships to the Middle East.
- Israel killed a Hamas commander in the West Bank in Israel.
Saturday, Apr. 13, 2024 (Day 190): The one hundred-thirty-fifth day of the resumed war.
- It was reported that a captured Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) spokesman admitted under interrogation that the terrorists used all the Gaza hospitals and many of the hospital ambulances during the war. He also admitted that the PIJ manipulates the media to create a false narrative about the war.
Sunday, Apr. 14, 2024 (Day 191): The one hundred-thirty-sixth day of the resumed war.
- Following Iran’s attack on Israel, Hamas rejected a ceasefire proposal in its war with Israel in Gaza.
Monday, Apr. 15, 2024 (Day 192): The one hundred-thirty-seventh day of the resumed war.
- Israel warned Palestinians that it would be dangerous to return to northern Gaza with the war still going on.
Tuesday, Apr. 16, 2024 (Day 193): The one hundred-thirty-eighth day of the resumed war.
- Israel killed a senior Hezbollah commander.
- Israel killed a second Hezbollah commander.
FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there (John 14:6).
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 called Christopher's girl friend and she came over to help us. I figured the cats were most likely to come if she called them since she spent more time with them than I had. And sure enough, we had all 3 in the garage within a half hour. Stupidly, we didn't bother to put the "easy" one in a carrier right away. Instead we focused on the two hard ones. Well, she saw what was happening to them and when we tried to get her, she took off! We were out of time by then and had to just take the two we had to the shelter. But his girlfriend is going to meet us there again today and we'll try again! I'm not going to have time to post that new article today as I've got to get redy to leave now. I'll try again tomorrow. Sorry guys!
