Left is Never Right

Just stumbled upon this seven and a half year old article... it'll probably offend some but, well, so be it.
 
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2016/07/the_stupidity_of_the_left.html
 
Offence, on my part, is unintentional but in today's climate of compulsory exacting mental absenteeism it would seem that offence is inexorably unavoidable.  Merely opening one's mouth these days seems to draw the ire of all manner of federal fops more concerned with the fleeting thoughts of defenseless denizens of ancient philosophical thoughtscapes than do the transgressions of megalomaniacal global destroyers of life and obfuscators of truth.  Far too many delicate egos constructed like toilet tissue origami scaffolding in the typhoon tropics.  A skinless breed of Leninbots and Marxbots fleeing the stinging rays of the light of truth, scampering like roaches into dark corners and under rugs, and all masturbating each other with their glibbery virtue signalling in congratulations of their self-superiority in all fields of endeavour... except those in the real world... and to think that I was once on the side of the left!  Admittedly, that was a long time ago, when the left still meant something, and I was very young and, as with all young people, young and dumb, though I cannot say that I was ever drawn to Marx and his mindless minions.  Such never elicited praise from me.  Once upon a time, the left cared about people, or did they really?  Those drawn into it thought so but, in truth, the heart of the left is envy and covetousness... and careful examination of the exposed character of the most renowned leftists through the eyes of others who personally knew them reveals the truth... it always has been.

Ideology, really of any kind, the belief that one can comprehend the uber-complex real world through a mere handful of childish simplisms, is for children, perhaps even only infants.  That there are people who never grow out of such a mindset only shows us how absurdly retarded human culture has become, particularly in the west.  It deserves to... no... needs to... die.

The fear of God is the true beginning of wisdom, and that respect for God by respecting His law, a perfect reflection of His character, ensures one will never be drawn into the web of deceit that is today's hyper-divisive politics.  People are people, both good or bad, righteous or wicked, no matter the culture or creed, clan or continent.  Ideas, however, have a life of their own and can destroy a human being in the blink of an eye.  Adam really did die on the day when he ate of that embittering fruit, and all of us with him but, thanks to our true and merciful God, we have life again in Christ.  God's mercy I will never deserve, but His forgiveness is there for all.  Trusting Him is up to us.

Trust God, not silly, silly man.

War and Numbers

Prepare for war!  Gird your loins, put on your armor, don your helmet, take up your shield and your sword, and off to war we go!  Got any nukes handy by any chance?  Preferably thermonukes but the purely fission variety will do in a pinch.
 
It does not bode well for western nations, not well at all, because it is primarily the western nations which comprise the beasts and those affiliated with the beasts.  Those of us who have foolishly aligned ourselves with the USA which is the second beast (two horns like a lamb but speaks like a dragon, that is, gives the appearance of a nation with great power and Christian culture but is a liar, speaking in the natural tongue of the dragon) will likely suffer the same fate as that beast.  I know that Los Angeles will be taken out in the middle of the night, that one I have already seen many years ago.  Likely also attacked will be New York, San Francisco, Washington DC, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Dallas, and perhaps other major urban centres.  If I was living in any of those places then I would be leaving very shortly.  My "gut" tells me that we will not see this decade out before WW3.  The current incarnation of the first beast, the mostly Vatican-controlled WEU and locally allied nations, and its eastern counterpart, the beast that comes up from the abyss, the Islamic nations of the middle east, will also suffer a similar fate, though I do not know that middle eastern nations of largely Islamic believers will necessarily suffer nuclear attacks, the reason being that the only nation to have ever used nuclear weapons in wartime against another nation is the USA.  He who lives by the sword will die by the sword.  Likely both the USA and large parts of the Eurasian continent will be glowing eerily in the dark by the time this is all over.  Maybe even Australia will be hit, but I am not so certain of that one (and, from a personal perspective, I hope not, but the possibility does seem to linger).

There is a lot of hope, I would posit false hope, about reviving the USA and restoring it to its former glory, particularly before it became so corrupted with greed and a lust for power over all the world.  I do not expect it to happen.  It will retain significant power though nowhere near all of it, but the idea of a free people nation is gone, now in the dustbin of history.  It seems there has never been an honest government in the USA since the days of the ill-fated JFK, if not earlier.  In reality, since the banksters took over early in the 20th century, the USA was already lost.  All of its thriving since then appears really to have been for the advantage of the globankster criminal cabal whose current goal is total and absolute global control and micromanagement of every single human being, machine, patch of land, ounce of water, erg of energy and every single resource on this planet.  To them we are merely another resource to use and then discard when done, merely numbers.  That type of delusional thinking is the fruit of the complete rejection of the creation account given to us by God through Moses and its substitute belief in time and chance, a world with no meaning, no purpose and no pre-existing destiny, the world of the evolution of mindless matter.

Did you ever wonder why the Lord was angry with king David for numbering his fighting men?  The obvious reason is that he was failing to trust God for their needs in times of war but it is not so obvious when, in other parts of the bible, we read of one census or another, the numbering of all manner of people, including fighting age men, musicians, priests, and so forth.

So, it appears to be a sin to reduce humanity to numbers for certain kinds of purposes.  What kinds of purposes and why?  A human being is made in the image of God and, as such, every single human being, though finite, is unique, because God is unique.  Would you dare treat God as a mere digit on a computer?  It is all very fine to number people for purposes that serve those people but the sin comes when we number people for the purposes of controlling and using them, which reduces them to resources and makes them all common and alike, discarding the reality that each and every one is made in the image of God regardless of how corrupted that person has made that image, for God still sees what He made as well as what it has made of itself.  Numbering of people for the purpose of using them is a sin because it reduces people to the status of deterministic automatons whose existence is to serve the state, which is anathema before the truth, but numbering people for the purpose of serving those people is not a sin because such numbering is really intended for calculation of the required resources for the service of those people, so such numbering is not really numbering of people but numbering of resources.  We must be careful to never reduce individual human beings to statistics and mere resources.

This particular sin occurs not only in the secular world (which it does to an unimaginable extent) but also in "churchianity".  There is a big difference between counting congregants in order to know how much tea and coffee to provide and how many chairs to set out, as opposed to counting people in order to know how much money you are going to receive as offerings.  The former serves the people individually but the latter uses the people, disregarding them individually, in order to serve the coffers and those who have access.  How many "evangelists" seek to fatten their congregations with ever increasing nunbers of people for their own financial purposes or for fame and the power and money it brings?  In my view, I suspect that God sees the tiny gathering of faithful believers at somebody's home as being easily as important as the gathering of many thousands of people at a so-called "mega-church" and, in fact, perhaps more valuable in a certain sense, regarding the servitude of the individuals towards God, because such tiny congregations have not yet been corrupted by the influences of financial gain.  Those who are wed to wealth become hard as stone, unable to change, for the comforts and ease that wealth brings makes them forget God and their purposes in serving Him and become completely consumed with self-interest... with the consequent desire to fill ever larger, ever more palacial buildings with ever greater numbers of financial contributors, an undifferentiated collective bringing in the dough rather than individuals in need of help or even salvation.  Little wonder that king David asked the Lord to make him neither too poor lest he resort to theft to feed himself nor too rich lest he forget the Lord.  Many "churches", it would seem, have largely forgotten the Lord.

So, having apparently run off on a tangential topic, what has this all to do with WW3?  Simple, really.  Man thinks he can win wars based on numbers - numbers of warplanes, warships, tanks, guns, bombs, missiles, infantry, pilots, sailors, analysts working in the back rooms, industries manufacturing the weapons, support from allies, and so on and so forth.  That may actually be, to some extent, true where all sides are similarly estranged from God but such circumstances also mean utter devastation for all sides no matter the way the war goes.  Man foolishly trusts in his own power, using numbers, to not only create numerous weapons and train numerous fighters but also, to compute the resources needed under the misguided belief that numbers are what really counts, altogether forgetting that it is God who decides the direction of the war and the direction of the world; man has become a worshipper of mere mechanistic numbers - we see this in the corruption of governments, science, and all manner of "learned" institutions and the medical field.

Can you see how it is that the Lord God will be seen as glorious when He conquers all nations?  None of them actually trust in Him... but I do and I hope that you do, also.

This coming great war, a war that will truly end all wars, and like all other wars in the past century or more, will be driven by an insatiable lust for wealth and power, control of resources and the use of humanity as mere cattle and chattel, as weapons of war no more valuable than a mortar shell or a cannon, mere numbers on a spreadsheet.  That the people involved, which will be a very large part, or perhaps most, of humanity, have departed from God and are willing to be nothing more than mere numbers on their government's abacus, numbers awaiting to be marked by the beast and become the eternal possession of the fallen one, to be used as one uses a rag and throws it away when done just because they have hoped in mankind rather than God, means that most of humanity will likely be destroyed.  Perhaps that destruction will, for many, come sooner than the mark and, in doing so, there may yet be some hope for many of them, as there was for the man on the cross next to the Lord when, during the final hours of his life, the Lord said to him, "Today, you will be with Me in paradise."

Trust God, not numbers and not man, but trust God alone.

When the Righteous Depart

I received word this morning that an uncle in Spain has passed away, a good, exceedingly kind and merciful, God-fearing man.  He is the last and the youngest of my father's siblings, my father having himself passed away over 17 years ago.  They were a large family of mostly brothers and a few sisters, now all gone.  They were all righteous, God-fearing men and women, some more so than others but all good people, all walking according to the decrees of God, though imperfectly, still always discerning the right from the wrong, understanding which their parents instilled in them as children.  Now they are all together again... and I cannot help but think of this...

Isa 57:1-2 KJV  The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.  (2)  He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.

I had this feeling, for some time now, that this was just around the corner, this anxiety that, upon the passing of the last of my father's clan, the horrors of the tribulation would begin in earnest.  For some reason, January 11/12 next year seems to be on my mind... perhaps it's nothing, I don't know.  One has these kinds of days once in a while, days when one awakens from many strange dreams over many nights, dreams which leave one astonied, perplexed, even anxious.  My life here has become very strange, almost alien to me.  I do not recognise this world at all, so far has it departed from the world in which I grew up, so profound is the abyss into which it has headlong plunged, drowning in an overwhelming ocean of lies, deceit, delusion, insanity, psychosis, a complete departure from truth, from reality, madness personified, to wit, we are witnessing the mind of Satan.  These are the conditions for the rise of the son of perdition, these are the days of the end of the age, of that I have little, if any, doubt.

Take heed when the righteous pass on from this mortal world, from this place of confusion, from this Babylon... ah, Babylon the Great, how short are your days now.  I will sing at your death, I will never bemoan you, I will dance on your ashes and then I will forget you forever and forever and ever.

Trust God, not man, for goodness sake not man!  The fear of God is truly the beginning of real wisdom.

A Rambling Rant - The World Has Gone NUTS!

Do I need to prove to you the widespread existence of anti-Semitic hatred that has been hiding in the hearts of so many?  Obviously not!  However, what did surprise me was the level of Jew hatred that has shown its ugly mug here in Australia.  Sure, I knew there was some, it's everywhere... but... but... the extent to which it has gripped this nation is astonishing!  Really, I should not be surprised that since Australia completely left the cover of God's law then the influx of people adhering to that demonic-minded belief system full of oppression, hatred and violence (which I shall not name but you know what it is, that beast which comes up from the bottomless pit) has hugely increased and their threatening influence is so excessive now that they get away with all manner of law-breaking with hardly a peep out of the police or the government.  Australia is surely in rapid decline.  As with other western nations which have foolishly fallen prey to the beliefs of the globalist materialists, the increasing division is accelerating the demise of modern civilisation... but then, with a heart as rotton as a one-week-old cadaver putrefying in the desert sun, there really is no surprise.
 
We know that, despite the evils of Israel, it is still a nation of God's promise, for He never breaks His oath and he made a promise to Abraham that whoever curses Abraham, and by extension his descendents, will be cursed by God and whoever blesses Abraham and thus his descendents will be blessed by God.  Which descendents, though?  I would argue it must be those who kept the faith of Abraham.  One could argue that it applies only to the spiritual descendents of Abraham but, from observations of history and in spite of the suffering over the millennia of the remnant of ancient Israel, the Jewish nation, we see that it is not Christians who are unconditionally blessed in the present world, not at all, but the Jews who, wherever they go, do so well or, at least, that is the case until the Jew-hating demonic spirit takes hold of the people around them, which it appears to do time and time again.  After all, why do demons hate those people so much more than anyone else?  Through them came the Messiah, through them came God's law and promises, through them came the hope of the world and through them will come God's government on Earth.  As the Lord said, salvation is of the Jews.  Remember that the twelve apostles, who are twelve Jews and the original Christians, are twelve chief justices, each one presiding over 12,000 regional justices scattered all over the world and they are all under the rulership of Christ... that is the structure of the government to come.  Little wonder that the devil so desperately wants to rid the world of those people for, in doing so, not only would he destroy the hope in God's promises for israel but he would also utterly destroy the hopes of all Christianity for, if the Jewish nation ceases to be then why wouldn't their spiritual counterpart, Christianity?  Clearly, as God is God and the devil is not, such a plan can never succeed.  Oooooh it must be so deeply irritating and frustrating to that old serpent, so horrible to him but so inevitable.  It would be like having your head thoroughly super-glued to a rail as a freight train was coming down the track, the outcome so utterly inevitable.
 
As noted in a previous post, this is all about bringing the crop to full maturity, the righteousness of the righteous out in full view and the wickedness of the wicked out in full view, bringing completely out into the open all that is hiding in each and every heart, so that when the harvesters come then they will make no mistakes.  First, the weeds to be gathered and bundled together to be destroyed and only then the gathering in of the wheat.
 
However, there is much to pass through before we reach that place, before the day of the Lord comes, so much must we endure and many will not reach that day, perhaps as many as one in two or three people.  The events of the past couple of years are dramatic and we see an ongoing escalation of drama, with each new catastrophe, whether war or natural disaster, outstripping previous events in suddenness, sometimes also in extent, and then followed by an apparent lull.  So acclimated to the craziness of it all do we become that the intervening periods seem almost calm, though they are anything but calm.  So, upon each new drastic event, do not consider it in the light of other recent events but instead in the light of events at least a decade or more ago.  Then you will gain a better sense of how truly dramatic each event really is and you will also get a much better sense of the words of the Lord, wherein He described the events of the last days as being like birth pangs, each stronger than the last, with each interval shorter than the previous.
 
It is always difficult to estimate what is about to come, often being not much better than a guess.  We do eventually gain twenty-twenty hindsight when we finally properly understand the fulfillment of scriptural prophecy in a historical context, but then we're still left wondering exactly where we are in that prophetic narrative of scripture.  However, what we do not need to wonder about is whether or not God can be trusted.  The creator of all and the author and finisher of our faith can be completely trusted, no matter how difficult it appears to us at times.  Not man, but God, trust God.

Stumped by UFO's

Shortly after 9pm daylight savings time this evening, only just over half an hour ago as I write this post, here in central Victoria, while I was sitting on the front porch and watching the clouds go by lit by the moonlight, I began to wonder about all this UFO phenomena and asked myself, "Would I be afraid if I saw one?"  Only two minutes later, that question was answered.
 
Just before going back into the house, as it was growing cold, I decided to take a brief walk up the driveway to scare off a rabbit that was messing around there and after I chased off the bunny and turned back to the driveway, as I turned to head back to the house, three bright lights in the sky caught my attention.
 
I looked up, toward the south-western sky, not far from overhead, and three bright lights were flying in linear formation, perhaps separated only by a few degrees of arc in the sky from one another, evenly spaced, with one leading, one in the middle and one trailing.  They made no sound, were of essentially the same brightness as each other, were far too bright for satelites (and satelites do not follow each other around in such neat formation), and were heading north east.  As they were almost directly overhead, a smaller light shot off at high speed towards the south east from the trailing light and quickly disappeared.
 
The whole thing lasted for about two to three minutes before they eneterd the shadow of the earth, so it is clear that their brightness was reflected sunlight, not their own light.  They were each as bright as the brightest stars in the sky though not as bright as Venus but perhaps as bright as Jupiter on a good, clear night.  The lights appeared to be a slightly blueish white so I imagine that is an effect of the reflectivity of the metal shells of the craft.
 
The middle one did not appear to be flying as steadily as the other two, with small, somewhat erratic deviations from its central position in the formation, jostling slightly to and fro, left and right, jittering as it were, sometimes a little closer to the leading one, sometimes a little closer to the trailing one, sometimes a little to the left or the right of the main trajectory they appeared to be on.
 
The last time I saw any such phenomenon was when I was about 12 years old, late one night outside in front of my parents' home, in suburban Melbourne.  That was 46 years ago.

Anyway, my question was answered... afraid?  No, but perhaps a touch of anxiety, especially considering I was just thinking about such phenomena which is not something I contemplate much to be honest, and there it was.

We are to expect a growing trend of strange events, but fear nothing of this world.  Fear God and worship Him only.

__________________________

Addendum 2023-11-05.
 
All too often, when describing such things as written above to someone else, they jump to the conclusion that you have yourself jumped to a conclusion, and they assume that you have not considered any other possibilities first, that you simply leaped immediately to "UFO" as an explanation (which, by its own definition, is actually the lack of an explanation) and that was that... but, of course, they are the ones making the assumptions, all too easy to do when they have not themselves been witness to the events and all too ready to dismiss such things with nary a second thought, in effect implying that the witness to the events is either stupid or gullible or given to delusional flights of fancy.
 
So, I should point out something about my approach to analysis...
 
"UFO" was the very last thing I thought of in spite of my earlier  contemplations.  Being an electronics design engineer with nearly 40 years of experience (i.e. not quite the sort of person one assumes is stupid or delusional), I am highly analytical, thoroughly logical and pedantic when it comes to details.  When I saw those things in the sky, my thoughts immediately turned to all manner of identifiable flying craft, beginning with the most obvious, whether terrestrial craft or spacecraft, and other things such as meteors, asteroids, et cetera, even missiles (God forbid!) among other things.  As I watched, my mind went through each possibility but, as it did, each possiblity was shot down by ongoing observations, strange things unlike anything I have ever seen, until all possibilities known to me were exhausted and then, and only then, I was left with "unidentified flying object", the very definition of what I had seen.

So, a friendly note on this... please be careful of how you react to people who describe such events, particularly people who, for all intents and purposes, are rational and logical and not easily inclined to delusions.  The right question to ask yourself would be, "If this is all a lie, what are they hoping to gain by it?"  Nobody goes around declaring they were witnesses to such things because they want everyone else to think that they are completely insane (that is, unless that person is already short of a few sheep in the top paddock).  So, please be careful with how you treat other peoples' strange experiences.  Otherwise, we only cause them to hide their experiences and we therefore have fewer accounts to go on regarding the signs of the times.  I am not suggesting that you simply believe whatever you hear, only that you do not write it off as nonsense without very careful consideration.

As for those things I saw, I cannot say what they were, I cannot say if they were manmade or something else (personally I lean towards the manmade explanation but, short of adequate evidence, I will not declare it so) and I cannot say who or what was piloting them, if at all.  All I can confidently say is that they were very strange and I could not identify what they were.

A Sapling about this Middle East War

A relatively small and undeveloped post about the war going on over there...
 
I do not believe it is the start of WWIII.  Of course, I could be completely wrong on that but it is my current belief that WWIII will start in an unexpected place and in an unexpected way, and starting in the middle east is hardly what one would call an "unexpected place" or an "unexpected way".
 
Many self-proclaimed "prophecy experts" (and I am unclear on how one earns such a title -- how does one become an expert on understanding events which have not yet occurred?) have stated innumerable times that the final great war will begin involving Israel, but I am of a different view.  I think it will start with an event in one of the Balkan states, or somewhere like that, leading to a preplanned invasion of Europe (specifically targeting Germany) and Turkey by Russia, and later attacks on the USA and perhaps on others by China, all leading to other nations being foolishly drawn into battle and resulting in their own great harm.  Those that avoid engaging in this coming war will probably fare the best.
 
Once it is a global war, it will then converge on the middle east with anti-Israel nations, taking their cue from Russia's trek west across Europe, and bearing down on Israel, which will itself be deserted by its very busy no-longer-so-friendly allies.  Eventually Russia and China will converge towards Israel as their battles elsewhere are flagging, the USA following them into that arena, and a standoff between Russia and the USA for a period will probably ensue.  If it occurs, that standoff will, I believe, eventually culminate in a global nuclear holocaust.  The whole war will probably last between two and three years and the ministry of the two witnesses will either bookend the war or begin during the war, and they will testify of the truth of Christ and His imminent return, with midnight being the darkest hour, the week of the nuclear holocaust.  It will not be long after that, perhaps less than a year, when they are murdered and their resurrection takes place a few days later.  It is shortly thereafter when the third woe and seventh trumpet occur, the return of the Lord, who will have His angels sweep the world clean of the remaining wicked and all that causes sin and then gather His own to himself.
 
Eventually, I will attempt to spell all or most of this out in more detail when (or maybe if?) I have the time to devote to it but, as always, I am not claiming to be a prophet, let alone a "prophecy expert" (whatever the heck that is), and everything herein written could be completely wrong.  Nevertheless, I write it because I believe that views like my own are unheard in the world and that all too many people are easily sucked into the poplular but often deeply misguided beliefs of so many so-called "experts", too many voices claiming to speak for God and yet disagreeing with each other, leading to the secular world seeing God as being somehow schizophrenic and, thus, non-existent, not a real god.   It is a great disservice to the Lord and those who unrepentantly continue on such a path will be held to account for maligning His Great Name.
 
The current war between Hamas and Israel is, I believe, simply setting the stage for the unification of Israel's regional opponents, with political, if not military, support of global powers such as Russia and China, and general opposition to Israel being fomented in extremely anti-Israeli MSM reporting of the horrors of what Hamas has done (mostly silence on that) but exaggerations and outright lies on what Israel does to defend itself.  The world must be brought to the point of standing against Israel for the end to come, for God to be shown gloriously victorious over all the nations.  It is the forces of darkness which are lashing out violently as their demise draws ever closer and, the closer it is, the worse such events will become.  Recall that Islamic states have not been unified for a long time and none of them acting alone has power to overthrow and destroy Israel but they will perhaps come to believe that all together they can.  Of course, the battle goes the way God decides, not men.
 
Trust God, not man, trust only the Ever Living God, our ever-loving heavenly Father.

A Stump about Censorship

It is growingly and glaringly apparent that the corrupt powers all around the world are desperately trying to implement full internet censorship of information, in particular from entirely independent sources that are not paid by powerful interests and are, in spite of human errors we all make, thus, almost incorruptible.  In their desperation to cling to power, all of which is built entirely on lies which are non-existent nothings that do not offer any real support since only the truth, which is the foundation for reality, can support anything at all, they seek to shut down all alternative voices and, therefore, stifle and destroy all alternative views, that is, all ideas that run contrary to their claims, those being that which attempt to justify their continued oppression, robbery and murder of others.  Independent thought, being that it will, sooner or later, draw nearer to the truth, must be completely curtailed and any person who continues in it must be destroyed.  The flailing, thrashing beast will only grow more desperate to survive and more violent and destructive as it goes to its inevitable, absolutely ineluctable demise.

However, never fear, for Christ Yeshua is the truth and Christ Yeshua has overcome the world and Christ Yeshua is the King of kings and Lord of lords and no false word can stand before Him; every one of them, with their unrepentant purveyers, will be destroyed.  God will not allow the truth to go without a voice for how can reality be voiceless and yet unreality have a voice?  That is a self-contradiction, it is impossible and can only be a momentary illusion... so, as pointed out in a post many moons ago, when all other free voices are silenced then the two witnesses will be that final voice before He returns and not a soul on earth will have the power to silence them.

Fear God, not man, and trust in the reality and truth and wisdom of God and not in the fairytales and foolishness of man.  Hope in the Lord is hope in the immovable Rock of Ages, the eternal, Ever Living God and anchored to that rock makes you immovable, too.  Ask Him to anchor you to Himself, ask with a humble and contrite heart, a heart He always hears, and you will also be built onto the eternal rock.

A Stump

I was just now watching a short video with Professor John Lennox being interviewd by John Anderson...
 
 
It occurs to me that people do not consider carefully the outcome of a social credit total surveilance system.  One day, soon enough, the sun is going to decomission that electronic system with a massive and unprecedented CME.  What do you suppose will happen?  A billion adult-sized infants, people who were never allowed to grow normally and had to live as robots, suddenly they are no longer contained and constrained... what do you think will happen?  Violence, looting, murder, arson, terrorism, a completely psychotic mass-rage will break out and nobody will be safe, not a single soul will escape the fury of a billion people who never had to learn right from wrong, never had to learn to do good of their own volition, never had to learn self-imposed selflessness, and only had to be robots to satisfy a purely deterministic mechanism in order to get what they need.  It will be hell on earth... literally.
 
Quick update on the next plandemic...
... just heard about some virus called "nipah".  Deadly, they say... outbreak, they say... started developing an mRNA vaxx for it just last year, they say.  Really?  what an awfully "fortunate coincidence!"... don't ya think?... but you know what I think of supposed coincidences of related matters!  I wonder if this is the one?  Or is there yet another, and another, and so on, like the UN promised, a decade of plandemics?

Gen 8:21 NKJ  "And the LORD smelled a soothing aroma. Then the LORD said in His heart, “I will never again curse the ground for man’s sake, although the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done."
 
Trust God, and not the troublemakers around us.

The Desperately Flailing, Dying Globalist Powers

Back in late April, I wrote a post, entitled, "Here We Go Again".  You may have read it but, if not, I was pointing out that there was evidence that the global psychopaths were readying another plandemic.  At the time it was uncertain what form it would take and I speculated, as did many, that it might be a "bird flu" or some nonsense like that.

Well, now we are seeing it happen in the USA - yet another CoViD... really?  Is this all that the satans, the walking dead, could come up with?  Of course, when this also fails, or only partially succeeds, they still have nuclear war up their sleeves, but look to God, as always, for your future, not to man.

The main reasons should be fairly clear... the UN, that is, the Image of the Beast, has an imperative to establish a global, unelected, unanswerable, irremovable, autocratic, technocratic world government, for its true masters, the money changers, the globanksters, those of the synagogue of satan, a world government in a form described by the WEF's supposed "4th industrial revolution" and "great reset".  As you will recall from Revelation, the Second Beast, that is, the USA, whose head is the corrupt power that currently exists, has an imperative to enforce the diktats of the Image of the Beast, to enforce its rules.  With the upcoming global plandemic "treaty" being the means by which the WHO (a terrorist organisation, a branch of the UN and a sock puppet of the globanksters) will establish initial global control over all submitting populations of the world, but being nothing more than a hollow carcass, part of the fake power of the UN (the power of satan, the power to control by instilling fear through deception), it simply cannot enforce its diktats without a real beast of substance acting in its behalf, not an image, a head without a body such as the UN, but with a body and with power to cause harm, carrying out such tasks.  Thus the need to ensure that the globanksters and their sock puppets stay in power in the USA... which is why you are seeing the return of lockdowns, mask mandates, and so forth.
 
If the wicked cannot fully control the outcome of the upcoming presidential elections, whether by indicting and imprisoning non-deep-state contenders or by impoverishing access to real information on-line or by an MSM tsunami of propaganda, distractions, "multi-crises" as mentioned by the chief satans of the WEF and the UN, or by illegally manipulating electoral results, and so on, there is a very real chance that the WHO, regardless of its so-called "treaty" with other wicked, satanic governments around the world, will be unable to globally enforce its draconian, demonic agenda and the UN, WEF and other bureaucratic ghost monsters will dissolve into the irrelevancy they really have always had.  Their webs of deception will be undone, their power will vanish like a mist in the desert at sunrise, because it was never real, anyway.  They only have power as long as people fall for the lies.  Behind the lies is a void, a blacker than black, empty nothingness, eternal darkness, the spirit of death.

Remember, though, that they are mere humans caught in the snares of that wicked power whose every action is to oppose the Ever Living God.  They are not gods as they seem to think themselves to be and their task, whether they recognise it or not, is to bring right out into the open all the wickedness of their hearts, the true darkness of that spirit called satan, so that it will be finally manifest in the flesh which will be destroyed by the brightness of the coming of the Lord and the fallen ones imprisoned for a thousand years before their trial, and so that all evil intent and action will be fully condemned by its own word and hand.  This disease, the real spiritual disease, needs to be fully purged at the establishment of the millennial reign of Christ and His 144,000 judges, a fresh start, the true great reset.  Remember that the devil, whenever he can, always sets up a red herring, a distracting and deceiving counterfeit of God's plan, ahead of God's true plans... but our almighty God is still on the throne, that will never change, so always look to Him, to Christ our saviour and eternal Lord of lords and King of kings; there is no other Rock, we know not one.

Fear not these flailing, dying beasts, the madness of crowds, the insanity of dead people who can only kill the flesh and then do nothing more.  Fear only Him who created the heavens, the earth and all that truly exists and worship only Him who can destroy, forever, both body and soul in gehenna.

Don't fear silly man, fear the eternal and righteous, infinite God and call on and worship Christ Yeshua in truth and in spirit.

Titanic Failure - Again

If you recall my post in August, last year, entitled, "Clash of the Titans and the Inevitability of WWIII", you will recall that the word, "titan", actually derives directly from, and essentially means the same as, "satan", and yet again it happens, 111 years later (and that number may be significant).
 
I do not wish to implicate the CEO of Ocean Gate for I have no idea of what his character was like.  There are those who say he was arrogant because he persistently dismissed the serious concerns of others working in the same field and, yet, there are others who personally knew him and say that he was not arrogant but was adventurous, though careful.  Whatever the sequence of events that led to such an horrific disaster, I cannot get away from the fact that the vessel's name was "Titan", a boastful name if ever there was one, and literally could be replaced with, "Satan", the name of the spirit of destruction.  Titan implies greatness, power, strength but Satan implies accuser, destroyer, death.  As noted above, if you have read that previous post then you will understand how this difference came to be and that the commonly accepted meaning of Titan is merely a boastful lie.

Something I have noted for many years is that you cannot rid something of its root without destroying the very thing that grew from it.  A tree cannot be transposed without its root, a perfect parable of the concept, so the initial cause or reason of a thing or an idea is always at the heart of everything built on it and cannot be removed without that thing's complete destruction.  Renaming things or redefining names does not change them but can, instead, simply disguise them which is essentially a lie.

What exactly the Titan disaster signifies, I cannot say at the moment, but nor can I assume that there is nothing to consider.  On a first point, it seems that the "re-disaster" is a reminder to the world that man's imagined grandiosity is just that, imagined, and nothing occurs without God's say-so.  In that fact we can be truly grateful to the Ever Living God for all that He has allowed us to accomplish, learn, create and so forth, even trips to the moon.  However, we now live in an age of complete denial of reality, denying the reality of gender, of rightly-ordered male-female relationships, true historical accounts rather than imagined ones designed to incite hatred, rebellion and imagined victimhood, and so forth, ultimately the complete denial of a holy and righteous and just God.  We live in the age of strong delusion and that is a sign that we are seeing the complete fulfilment of some scripture (as always, of course):

2Th 2:8-12 ASV  And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestation of his coming;  (9)  even he, whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,  (10)  and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.  (11)  And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie:  (12)  that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Yes, I have quoted that scripture on numerous occasions but only because I believe it is so pertinent to indicating just where we are in the scheme of things.

Consider that it is in the current age that we are seeing the near-complete outworking of that prophecy and, if that be the case, then I am confident that we will soon see the first global public appearances of the son of perdition, called in the above scripture, "the lawless one".  We are most definitely in the age of lawlessness and strong delusion, shortly to be completely fulfilled.

However, it appears to me that the boasts of the Titanic and the Titan and their terrible demise serve as reminders to us all that satan, the spirit which man takes on when separated from God, will be sent to the completely dark and crushing depths of perdition and there is no hope for such, no future whatsoever.  All who do not renounce that spirit and repent and come to the Lord will perish with that completely evil spirit.  I have a gut feeling that, from this time forth or a time shortly to come, whoever continues to completely reject repentance towards God and salvation in Christ will have lost their final opportunity.  The curtain must eventually fall and the signs are indicating that the son of perdition will soon make himself known, as will the two witnesses who will be the ones to make the final call to salvation and complete the great commission.  Those who reject the undeniable evidence of the two witnesses and all that is occurring in the world are lost because they have become utterly devoid of truth so that there is no means to draw them back to God and nor is there anything left worth saving.

Yes, WWIII is inevitable but not terminal for those in Christ.  We are rapidly approaching the darkest hour, some time in the next three to seven years is my guess (but don't trust those figures; assume it is always just around the corner).
 
Trust God, not man and again I say, trust God.

A Stump

I was just listening to some recent guff about Betelgeuse, now something like double its usual brightness, and there's all the talk of it going nova at any time from now to almost forever in the future... and I thought, "What if it went nova on the solstice this month or on some other conspicuous date such as the equinox in the next season or during an eclipse?  Wouldn't that be something all too weird and utterly fantastic?  Would it be a coincidence?  If, having stated it now and considering that thoughts are not random and that the "experts" stack the odds heavily against it happening, would it still be considered an incredible coincidence?"
 
Just thought I would mention it in this stump, you know, because of "signs in the heavens" and such.  I truly do not know what to expect but, really, I would love to see that thing go pop!  It would be spectacular and certainly not only to folks who enjoy astronomy, like me!
 
Anyway, perhaps you might have a look online for yourself, do a search on it for recent videos in the past week or so.  A lot of it is click-bait rubbish with irritating computer-generated voice-over but there are a few gems worth seeing on this topic.
 
We definitely live in interesting times.

By the way, I am wondering about the whole saga regarding the Dome of the Rock and the temple mount and plans for building the temple, having mentioned it (again) last year but seeing no obvious change in the situation since then.  I read somewhere that it is not necessary for a temple to exist in order to reinstate the sacrificial system but my gut feeling is that they definitely want to bring back the temple.  Anyway, it's just a thought in passing.  I still expect some drama to occur there in regards to this whole issue but just when is anybody's guess.

Whatever happens, whether stars or mosques or wars explode, we can always rely on God, so trust God and not man.

Betelgeuse Being Weird Again

It appears that Betelgeuse, a star in the Orion constellation and one of the brightest stars in the night sky, is going rogue again.  This time, rather than dimming as it previously did a few years ago, it has brightened quite significantly.  Nobody has offered up an explanation for this behaviour.
 
www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOsBvxuqKIk
 
Some theories about its dimming behaviour a few years ago have been proposed, such as dust obscuring the star, or some related phenomena, but nothing has been suggested for the star's recent brightening.  What if the Lord, in order to dispell "scientific theories" about Betelgeuse's recently acquired unpredictable variability, chose to do this to puzzle the learned astronomers and astrophysicists, putting their "wisdom" to shame, while making the statement, "No, this is not merely stellar variability, it is a sign!"?  I am speculating but I think that the idea may be worth some consideration.  It is a variable star but has, for centuries until recently, been quite predictable.
 
Personally, I am expecting a celestial sign of great significance some time soon, one which will mark a brief period before WW3.  This is quite apart from my expectation of a super-Carrington event, which is something I think really will happen, not so much as a sign but more as part of the process here on Earth.  Note that there are historical accounts which suggest that the last time that Betelgeuse changed significantly was around 2000 or more years ago.  Interesting, no?  Whether a sign comes as a massive CME, a comet of unusual size and extreme proximity, a relatively nearby supernova or something else, apart from the Lord, who can say?  However, I am expecting a very significant sign in the sky, and it must be something unprecedented in written records or otherwise it would not act effectively as a unique sign for a unique time in history.  If Betelgeuse went supernova, that would really be a clear sign in the heavens!  Purportedly being only hundreds of light years away and being also a red supergiant, if it went supernova, it could potentially outshine the full moon.  Now that would be a sign!

Whatever signs we see or do not see, we are clearly in the last days.  I strongly recommend that you trust God above all others and all else.

Here We Go Again

You are probably aware of the impending "bird flu", another plandemic on the way.  Already some months ago there were reports of the vax giants shipping large cargos of "something" (more "treatments", no doubt) to warehouses near airports in many countries.  Given that the supposed bug has not magically "transformed" into something that affects humans, how can any vax company have already made an inoculation for it?  It is clearly about two goals; one is to destroy food supplies by slaughtering poultry worldwide, the other is to create another plandemic and further destroy freedoms, businesses and wipe out another large batch of human beings with their "treatments", the satanically inspired "vaccines".

This next plandemic is obviously the next stage of the WHO's 10-years of plandemics plan being rolled out right before our eyes, just in time for its global totalitarian plandemic treaty.  I think that the current goal is to reduce world population by about two thirds by some time in 2025.  Given the dismal failure of plandemic number one, I think they are going to ramp things up a lot harder this time... and still it will fail to achieve even a significant fraction of its intended outcome... which is another reason I believe that WW3 is inevitably on the cards.

The days are evil, indeed!  What, exactly, do the mass murderers and destroyers of God's creation think they are achieving?  The "god" they serve is bent on their destruction, also, but a mind wilfully given over to lies and delusions will only believe the lies and the delusions.

So, here we go again... this time worse than the last.  Try not to bow to illegitimate authority.  They have absolutely no genuine and lawful authority to force you to do anything, least of all let yourself be poisoned with a concoction formulated in the abyss of eternal damnation.  Remember that public servants are servants, not masters no matter how they like to view themselves... all part of their deep delusion.  They have given themselves over to satan and to the same end will they go.

Never trust man.  Trust only the Ever Living God of Abraham, the God of Moses and the Father of Yeshua the Christ.

The Fury of the Sun

(I started this post some time in March but was not quite sure of where it was headed.  However, seeing recent intensifying solar activity prompted me to rush this somewhat, so I decided it was perhaps time to publish it even if it is something of a meandering and incomplete piece.)
 
The first thing I wish to say regarding what I am herein describing is that my views are a combination of expectation based on prophetic scriptures and a certain, quite significant, level of speculation, although the speculation is itself made in accordance with what I believe best fits certain old and ancient writings... and why not?  It is interesting to ponder upon current events in the context of various ancient documents.  I am also going to state up front that it is not only biblically based but also derives support from non-biblical ancient sources (which I will not herein name for now) though not reliant on such.  Thus will I maintain a certain degree of dispassion regarding the possibilities herein described and remind the reader that this is not prophecy but merely one man's tentative views on current and some possibly forthcoming events.
 
A storm is a time of chaos, of extreme, often and typically, destructive events.  Such events are, in the current storm, often perceived as storms in and of themselves but they really are not separate storms.  They are more like downdrafts near a tornado or various localised vortices, developing into thunderstorms, around a major low pressure system.  The actual storm we are currently in began in early 2020 according to what the Lord said to me at that time.  The plandemic was only its beginning.  It currently continues in the forms of financial turmoil, war, increasing food insecurity which will become famine in various places, protests and riots and ever growing political unrest, further plandemics and various natural events which have happened, such as earthquakes, as well as coming events.  (Note that there is good reason to believe that an avian flu plandemic will begin soon with prepared "treatments" recently stockpiled in warehouses near airports all over the world, all timed to occur as the wicked behind the W.H.O. prepare to impose their global totalitarian plandemic "treaty".)  In this post, I want to briefly discuss one such possible "natural" event; a massive solar storm, one of historically unprecedented magnitude and power, which will make the Carrington Event of 1859 look mild to insignificant, with both hugely spectacular and profoundly destructive effects.  This will be, I believe, one of the coming "signs in the heavens" about which the Lord warned us well in advance.

Do not count such an event, should it transpire, as a curse or judgement but, rather, a kind of blessing, for this is what it may take to shut down the global digital surveilance network upon which the mark of the beast will rely.  If nukes don't do it first, this super-Carrington event may, and perhaps will, do the job.  Does God count trees, grass and animals as more valuable than His precious children?  Obviously not!  The Lord unflinchingly sent a large herd of swine to their deaths in order to deliver a single human soul from demonic torment and He told us that we are worth more than many birds.  Those who resist the mark for long enough will be spared its consequences since they will have been guided by the Holy Spirit of the Ever Living God into paths and ways that will sustain them, incredibly difficult as the journey may be.  Certainly, there are those who will die as martyrs but in Christ there really is no death.

So, what kind of event are we in for?  As already mentioned, it could be described as a "super-Carrington" event but there is likely to be more than one, probably a series of them over some time, whether weeks, months or a couple of years, though I suspect that there will likely be a singularly exceedingly powerful event such as never before known.  As far as biblical prophetic scripture is concerned, this would come under the rubric of "signs in the sun, moon and stars" and "men's hearts failing them for fear of what is coming upon the earth", as was described by the Lord in Luke 21.  What I am expecting is a solar flare (or a series of them) with associated powerful coronal mass ejections (CME's) of such intensity and magnitude that, even if not perfectly earth-directed, will impact the earth on a monumental scale in ways which humanity has never witnessed before, at least not as something recorded in the annals of human history.  If you have read my blog over the years then you may have noticed that sometimes I hint at things like this, more so recently as the likelyhood appears to be growing with each passing day.  Sometimes I mention things obscurely because I do not want to give the impression of prophesying.  My sources are the bible and various extra-biblical writings which, although not to be taken as canon, still serve a useful purpose, all viewed through the lens of biblical scripture in the light of the understanding I already have, a light supplied by God (and He does expect us to make an effort).  Again, a reminder, this is only part speculation and part expectation based on prophetic records and other materials.

In certain non-biblical sources (although such sources claim to have been directed by the Spirit of God), this coming event is described as a great firey cataract from the sky, that is, something akin to a "waterfall" of fire pouring out upon the earth and burning up everything.  I see such a possibility recorded in at least one place in Revelation:
 
Rev 8:7 ASV  And the first sounded, and there followed hail and fire, mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of the earth was burnt up, and the third part of the trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

Although we must read of phyiscal events in the scripture as parable, we should also remember that all physical manifestations have a spiritual reality.  For this reason I do believe it can be taken literally but not only literally, also and primarily, spiritually.  As you will recall, hail was one of the plagues which the Ever Living God used to strike against Egypt in the days of Moses and the exodus.  Blood represents, as you probably know, life, for it is written in the scripture that "the life is in the blood", so the outpouring of blood signifies the outpouring of life in the sense that it is being poured out unto death.  One could imagine a vision of a volcanic eruption wherein the outpouring lava is glowing red hot and gives the appearance of blood, or one could imagine the effects of volcanic sulphurous compounds entering the sea and bringing a very red iron oxide into solution out of the sea floor, giving the appearance of blood.  Worse still, we can imagine rivers completely inundated with blood as a result of intense warfare.  Whether or not any of these is what John saw in his vision, I really do not know.  Smoke is often a depiction of fury, sometimes described as emanating from the "nostrils" of God when He is enraged with the wicked, and also referenced when describing the irreversibility of final judgement on the wicked.  We see smoke pouring out of volcanoes, which are also associated with massive storms and hail events, and we also see great quantities of smoke coming from huge forest fires.  Volcanic eruptions have certainly been on the increase, perhaps not so much in number but certainly in strength.  This is something which, based on historical records, is expected during periods of solar instability and low sunspot numbers as there appears to be a strong correlation between declining sunspot activity, increased power of less frequent CMEs, falling global temperatures and increased global volcanism and seismic activity.  Something similar appears to be happening with fires, also, not increasing in numbers but some appear to be significantly more intense, often due to the extremely poor land management policies resulting from environmental activism, in other words, policies based on pagan world views.  It comes as no surprise that such belief systems work antagonistically against God's creation for, being that His creation is in accordance with His nature, His Spirit, those with an opposing nature will naturally cause harm to the creation.  The increased rate of lightning strikes during CME's and their associated auroras will be something to watch for since these processes are definitely correlated.  More lightning means more naturally occurring fires.

So, what it leads me to believe is that in the coming months to the next few years, we will see a substantial change in solar activity, perhaps slight and gradual at first but picking up pace as time passes, and with increasingly explosive events (flares and CME's, often earth-directed) of increasing power and effects on the earth, leading to increased volcanism, seismicity, thunderstorms, auroras and even, dare I say, a change to the colour of the sun, to a slightly more red appearance, something which, if it occurs, will frighten the living daylights out of the faithless.  You may recall that I mentioned such things already years ago as well as again more recently but did so tentatively since, even to me at that time, it seemed rather outlandish.  However, noting the rapidly changing conditions of human society on the earth, the rapid rise of demonic activity and the rush towards a global, pagan, totalitarian state and a likely world war, such drastic spiritual decline I also expect to be reflected in the natural world.  The two are not isolated, not even a little.

Whether or not these things actually take place I cannot say with any great certainty but my observations of recent solar activity (and, by recent, I mean over the past decade and a half or so) and its effects on the earth suggest that significant changes are afoot, changes we are not ready for, changes we are not really expecting as part of the usual pattern of solar cycles.  Should any of these things come to pass, then whatever explanations are given, remember to vet those doing the explaining for their world views.  Writing off strange events in the sun, moon or stars as expected but unknown simply due to an apparently "short recorded history" against a backdrop of "long ages" of existence merely serves to dodge, instead of deal with, the possibility, and for Christians the certainty, that the scriptures really do have warnings in them worth taking seriously.

Luk 21:25 - 26 ASV  And there shall be signs in sun and moon and stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the billows; (26) men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.

Trust God, not man, for man without God is, in essence, in spirit, satan.  Trust only God.

Do Not Fear

Pro 22:3 ASV  A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; But the simple pass on, and suffer for it.
 
Fearful people cannot allow themselves to think about the growingly clear and obvious signs of coming turmoil.  A typical response, when asked if they have made any preparations (for example, preparations to go through the coming global war), is to be told, "NO and I'm not going to live my life in fear!", obviously taking offense at being reminded of the very thing they fear.  There is a world of difference between preparation and being afraid.  Indeed, fearful people are inevitably UNprepared because of their aversion to considering the growing threat right in front of them.  This avoidance is a denial of the obvious reality and it leads to self-deception and the delusion that what is clearly on the cards is not real at all, a kind of wishful or "magical" thinking, the delusion that if they do not believe it and avoid considering it then it will never happen.  On the other hand, those who do prepare, even if they are unsure about when the catastrophe is to arrive, prepare in a calm, puposeful and methodical way.  Being easily offended and in a state of inner turbulence, given to angry outbursts, are the marks of a person living in fear, not one who is calm and methodical.

Fear causes a person to freeze, like a rabbit stunned by the headlight beams of an oncoming vehicle, not knowing which way to jump, whether to the left or to the right and, consequently, doing nothing until it is too late.  Take the foolish virgins in Yeshua's parable, for instance.  Such people are unable to accept that the elect would remain in the world throughout the time of great tribulation, despite the Lord making it clear again and again.  Consequently, when presented with the notion that they would have an early escape, they latch onto it, in complete denial of any other possibility, and fail to properly prepare for the storm to come, being then unprepared to face the darkest hour, midnight by definition.  They choose to not think about it, even avoiding reading the book of Revelation, saying that it is irrelevant and does not apply to them.  Do such actually believe that the Lord provided us with those 22 chapters just for kicks?  Perhaps you have encountered such people.  When that hour arrives, being wholly unprepared for it, in a panic they will finally act but all too late.  The rabbit is no more.

None of us knows exactly what manner of trouble or persecution we face.  However, we must do our best not to fear what we do not know.  Yes, it can be very difficult, and will be, in the days to come, but the crown of eternal life awaits those who stand firm in faith to the Ever Living God and our Lord and Saviour, Yeshua the Christ, even unto the very end.

If there is any type of fear worth having, it is the fear of God and God alone.

Do not fear man nor the things of man, but do trust in God.

Tired of a World of Lies - a Rant

It really is bizarre!  How many lies can the world tolerate all at the same time before it completely collapses?  We are being overwhelmed from every direction with a veritable Noahic flood of deceptions and delusions, such is the power of the evil one to deceive the willingly self-deceived.  Lies about the climate, about energy, about food, about medicine, about crime, about sexuality, about population, etc., etc., ad infinitum!  I am growing very weary of this, of hearing nothing but delusions and deceptions from all and sundry.  It is wearing me down, it is exhausting in trying to deal with it.  However, one thing that is obvious to me, and perhaps also to you, is that all of this is the result of trusting in man and not in God.  In fact, God has been booted out of all western cultures at this point and nothing is left but a vacuum rapidly sucking in and filling up with deceptions, with delusions, where once there was at least some remnant of truth, of reality.  Authorities the world over are actively suppressing, censoring and deleting the truth wherever it may be found, whether in print, on web sites, in books, in mainstream media, even word of mouth and now, as demonstrated recently in the UK, in our very thoughts, as one can now be convicted of the "crime of thinking a prayer"!  I kid you not!
 
Now we also see the rapidly rising hatred towards all Christians in the western nations.  Truthfully, it was always there but was a shameful thing, since the huge success of western civilisation, in spite of its problems, was demonstrably primarily due to Christianity, so the wicked discussed their hatred for Christ and His followers only in private.  Now they are completely unashamed of it, and of every other abominable sin, in their accelerating quest to bring down and utterly destroy western civilisation or, at least, what is currently left of it.  In many nations, there has been a push for some time to normalise paedophilia, decriminalising those who would and who do abuse children for their own wantonly perverted sexual lusts.  All manner of sexual vice, particularly that which destroys procreation, is promoted as good and normal, whereas healthy, maritally-confined sexual relationships between a husband and his wife are being treated with contempt and discouraged by forces working within governments (and by the expression, "a husband and his wife", I mean an adult biological male human and an adult biological female human who have been formally wedded, and it is a very sad reality that I should now have to make that distinction and clarify my words due to their reassigned meanings in this fallen world).
 
Recently, in Israel, two members of Netanyahu's party, both ultra-orthodox Jews, have put forward legislation to criminalise any attempts by Christians to convert people to Christianity, with penalities of one year or two years in prison depending on whether the potential "convertee" is 18 years of age and older or is younger (a minor), respectively.  Even merely mentioning Yeshua (Jesus or any other suitable name), the Christ, specifically, the Christian Messiah, would be considered a crime.  Fortunately, Netanyahu is opposed to such insanity (for now) since, as he clearly directly implied by his statements in response to the proposed legislation, if it weren't for the Christians then the Jews would not currently have a homeland.  This may well be true because it is, to a great extent, through His people, the Christians, that the Lord worked to rebirth a homeland for the Jews, as prophesied in Isaiah millennia ago.  Having heard about this proposed legislation in Israel, I immediately thought about the coming son of perdition, someone that the orthodox Jews will accept as their messiah, fulfilling the Lord's own words...

Joh 5:43 ASV  I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
 
The state of the world really does appear to be so very close to the end of the evil generations.  Little wonder that the devil and all the dark powers are having conniptions.
 
Here, in my own homeland of Australia and my home state of Victoria, the wicked premier of the state and his lapdog party members, along with the support of green ideologues (i.e. communists) introduced legislation some time ago that criminalises praying for people who are suffering from gender dysphoria or any other such problem associated with sexual identity, even if that struggling person asks a Christian for the prayer!  In essence, this wicked government has inserted itself, via obviously evil legislation, into the private affairs of individuals.  Of course, no Christian worth their salt would deny praying for somebody who genuinely seeks such help but the real problem is that such people seemingly seeking help can at times be working in collusion with authorities to entrap people of good faith.  The result is a chilling effect on open Christian practices, even finding its way into churches.  This government has done many profoundly wicked things to date, and what I have just mentioned is nowhere near the worst but is quite typical.
 
I am certain that, wherever you may be living, you, too, will be experiencing the rapid rise of rabid antichristianity.  There is little to no opposition to other religions and, where there is opposition, it is generally in decline, which should be a red flag to those who are unbelievers and have been sold nonsense such as the debunked old chestnut, "religion is the cause of all wars", and other such lies.  Wars are the result of the spiritual powers of wickedness operating through powerful worldly authorities.  Religion is essentially irrelevant but where it opposes those wicked "powers of the air in high places", such powers foment war, and, of course, the opposition comes primarily from Christianity since it is only Christianity that recognises the reality of those evil powers and actively opposes them.  It is obvious to the awake and alert that, by "religion", what is really meant is Christianity.
 
They have tightly shut their eyes, they have completely stopped up their ears, so that they cannot listen, let alone hear, and they cannot look, let alone see, because they were offered the truth but it is offensive to those who have pleasure in unrighteousness, as it exposes the true nature of the evils they practice, the wicked acts in which they have great pleasure.  Now, in the darkness of their own creation, they see a lie, they perceive something but it is only strong delusion, so that all the wickedness stored up in their calloused hearts may finally find full expression in the world, thus filling brim-full their cup of sin, that they may be judged and fully condemned, without doubt among any as to their wilfull wickedness, without recourse or any hope of reprieve, and that God will be seen glorious in the perfection of all that He has done to save those unwilling to turn away from the path of death and back onto the path of life.  They chose their god, knowingly choosing that which is false, willfully believing a lie, and becoming unrepentant liars.  In short, they chose eternal death.
 
I choose eternal life, with my Lord and Saviour, my King, and even, dare I be so bold and say such a thing, my true friend.  More importantly, He chose me.  It is better to die on your feet, under the blood of Christ, than to live on your knees under the yoke of man.
 
Trust God, not man... and again I say, trust God.
