WW3 Already?

Warning:  Extreme levels of speculation ahead; navigate with caution.

I wrote this post almost a week ago but was reluctant to publish it because it seems too specific and simultaneously too nuts.  Then, thought I, "What the heck!  They know it's all just wild guesswork... don't they?"

Thought I would comment on one possibility of what may happen in the coming months or so, perhaps even as far out as a number of years, regarding the escalating circumstances on the Eurasian continent.

The sore losers of the US election (supported by the deep state, the UN, globanksters, EU lefties and their useful idiot portion of the left in general) are doing precisely the kind of thing I would expect of them... attempting to create an irreversible escalation of the conflict with Russia before Trump can take control.  As said in a previous post, these people would choose to destroy the entire world, every person in it and all life on earth rather than lose global hegemony.

The leftist media and others are already calling this latest situation World War Three.  Perhaps it is but I have a somewhat different take on this.  Dare I to speculate?  Sure, why not?

As it stands, there is no well defined way of declaring what is "world war", whether entering a war, currently in a war or from a historical perspective.  My view is that it must be, firstly, a hot war (munitions are in use, physical destruction and potentially loss of life is taking place), then it must also be concurrently multiregional (regional meaning that physically neighbouring nations are in conflict thus defining a region) and a third requirement is that it must be directly (not indirectly) engaging nations not of a region within that region for at least one or more of the concurrently warring regions, thus making it a global conflict.  However, there is the natural tendency to see things in hindsight and define the start of a world war as the moment when the first of the involved regions fell into a state of war.  This can only be done in retrospect after a war has clearly become a world war but it is not a very useful indicator for the present moment while moving into the future.  For me, at least, it seems to be the reason that there is so much disagreement among historians with regards to exactly when the previous world wars began (although certain views do dominate the discourse).  I do not believe it is necessary that every conflict in a multiregional conflict need be a result of other regions being in conflict.  If every regional conflict began on its own for its own reasons, this could still be considered a world war.  As far as I know, nobody has ever defined the means by which we determine the temporal or physical bounds that "contain" a war.  This means that many concurrent and physically separate wars can be simply called war.

What I think may occur, as a possible series of events, is that Trump, once he is inaugurated, will make it his first order of business to de-escalate the situation using his greatest talent; negotiation.  This will buy the world a little more time but, in my personal view, it will be perhaps only a few short years.  Remember, the scripture tells us that people will be saying "peace and safety" when sudden destruction comes.  Once everyone has been saying "peace and safety" for some period of time (a year?.. three years?.. any idea?..), the trigger is pulled.  By that stage, the buildup of naval and army personnel and weaponry in and around the middle east will be substantial, perhaps accompanied by some battles between Israel and Iran and their various allies, but that on its own is not WW3 since it is essentially still singularly regional, directly involving neighbouring nations and probably indirect involvement of the international community.  If the Ukraine-Russia conflict is still active then perhaps one could call it WW3 since it is growingly obvious that the USA is directly engaging in that conflict at the current moment, but this may cease for a while with Trump's intervention.

Then, after a year of very great prosperity across the globe, the assassination of a high ranking official occurs in the region of the Balkans, this being an intentional attempt to trigger a war in a similar way to how WWI came about.  My view is that, since the EU and, thus, the globalists, despise Victor Orban because of his very successful, thoroughly anti-woke, anti-globalist government, Orban might be the one targeted.  Since Orban and Hungary have tried to maintain a more traditional and more conservative culture than most EU-connected governments, which is despised by the would-be-god, totalitarian-minded globalists (i.e. the satans) but which is probably held in high esteem by many Russians, including Putin, who likely sees Hungary as a kind of religious, political and cultural "ally", in order to re-escalate the conflict with Russia, the assassination of Orban may invite a Russian invasion of the EU.  If this dreadful event occurs, and I would rather be completely wrong on Orban's fate but, if it does occur, I would suggest that Russia already has forces readily stationed at several latitudes along the border with EU nations, and will launch a massive invasion within a few days after the assassination.  In reality, the assassination itself will only serve as an excuse for the invasion.  Russia is fed up with NATO's lies and constant threats and bad behaviour (though it does not absolve Russia of its own sins).  Poking the bear for decades can only end very badly.  Maybe Russia has already planned an invasion with the view to re-establishing its empire or, perhaps, Russia has chosen to strategically position military forces in case EU/NATO forces did something stupid like try to attack or invade Russia (something most definitely on the globalist psychopath agenda, to capture a huge land mass and its enormous resources).  Given the current circumstances the second of those two possibilities seems not at all unlikely.

The invasion may ultimately converge on Germany (and perhaps also northern France) since, as said in a previous post, there is yet a lot of "bad cultural blood" between Russia and Germany for what the NAZI's did to the people of the Soviet Union in the previous world war and, also, Germany is, or has been, both a political and an economic powerhouse within the EU (though it looks like it is economically disintegrating due to the consequences of the green agenda, consequences which Germany is desperately trying to reverse) and the German government, from my perspective, is the currently active head of the (first) beast of the Book of the Revelation to John.  It is the head that had a deadly head wound and ceased to exist at the end of WW2 and yet has returned to life with the rise of the EEC, followed by the integration of European governments in the form of the EU.  I could certainly be completely wrong on that but it is merely my current perspective.  The caretaker nations (Soviet Union, USA, Great Britain, France) who managed Germany after the war essentially brought it back to life.  The final stage came with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the re-uniting of East and West Germany.  The modern day powerhouse of the EU beast was back and its formerly deceased head was now alive and well and didn't the world "marvel" and celebrate at the beast's head coming back to life?  I certainly remember it that way!

As far as nuclear war goes, my view is that Trump will be somewhat instrumental in God's purposes regarding cutting that time short "for the sake of the elect" (see Matthew 24:22).  Nuclear war will come, perhaps initially in the form of small tactical weapons but ultimately the use of large weapons will occur and that will be the terminal part of the relatively short-lived global conflict.  The war may last within the range of ten to eighteen months and the terminal nuclear conflict may be only a few days to a week.  The post war nuclear fallout, which will be significant mostly in regions struck by nuclear weapons (modern nukes are all thermonuclear fusion devices but all of them still require a small fission bomb to trigger them, thus the radioactive fallout) will not be so widespread as to cause all land on earth to be useless for food production and all drinking water to become contaminated.  Primarily, the nations which choose to engage in the conflict will be likely targets.  I guess that it does not bode well for me!

Should the above sequence of events actually occur then I would be very surprised.  So, why speculate in such a manner?  I guess that we all want to have some sense of what may be coming and in that regard I am no different to anybody else.  My musings in this particular post are not based entirely on biblical scripture but also on prophecies by seers who have lived over the past few hundred years and some of my own observations over the years.  There is a potentially infinite variety of possible specifics regarding the required state of the world which could fit with biblical prophecy and this was simply one of those uncountable possible permutations, in a sense an attempt to fill in the picture.

As always, no claims to prophesying, none at all.  Just an observer's scantly-educated guess.  However, what if it actually happens?  What then?  What a horrible thing to get right!

Stay focused on God, not on man, and He will guide your thoughts and the outcomes thereof.

A Stump about Stopping WW3

Just a little earlier I watched a short video, an interview with Tulsi Gabbard, a rare kind of woman in the world today, in which she speaks about the goals of the Trump administration regarding the ending of wars and implementation of peaceful agreements between warring nations, in the hope of preventing WW3 and, particularly, nuclear holocaust.

See the video here:
For plaintext browsers:  www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7fO8vuS6tA

I genuinely hope they can pull it off!  A stay of execution for the world!  However, and I do not say this easily... I do not think that it can be prevented at this point.  Delayed, perhaps, even somewhat curtailed, but not utterly avoided.

Trump's election seems to be an act of God in many ways, particularly because of the endless and repeated yet failed attempts by nefarious actors to silence, imprison, and even murder him.  He is a huge threat to the hegemonic, dictatorial power of the unelected, unaccountable elitists, the globanksters and others of the parasite class.  People have died in the pursuit of such goals as those he is declaring.  In any case, on the one hand, he could be there to prevent global nuclear war altogether but, on the other hand, as stated in a previous post, he could be there simply to cut that time short (as a consequence of ongoing efforts begun to actually prevent it) so that not all flesh will be annihilated, in keeping with the prophetic words of the Christ Himself.  For me, it seems an each way bet at the moment, not being a genuine prophet of any kind, just one who attempts barely semi-educated guesses at the outcomes of inordinately complex situations and processes.

As you can also observe on many videos and other reports coming in on independent, non-leftist media, the left continue in their efforts to prevent Trump's presidency, now seeking ways to prevent his inauguration completely.  If they do that, it is not probabilistically unreasonable to expect a civil war!  There are no fools worse than wicked fools, and there are no infantile fools worse than the modern left.  Derailing Trump is to derail any chance to avoid global war.  The left have wandered off to the diametrical opposite end of the universe as regards their original so-called "ideology".  What they say and what they do appear to be consistently contradictory.  The outcomes of their actions always seem to completely oppose their stated motives, a clear sign of a complete absence of a grasp of reality, the absence of truth.  Total psychosis seems the norm for such now.  As the Lord said, you will know them by their fruit.

As always, I admonish all to look to the Ever Living God for peace, salvation and eternal security, not ever to fallen man.

Addendum, 2024-11-12.

It occurred to me that the deportation of illegal immigrants from the USA at this late stage, as is clearly on the books, may backfire badly come the great war.  It would not really be the fault of the soon-to-be incumbent government, at least not in any significant way but, rather, of the current, soon exiting government, and its ideological predecessors, which enabled this situation in a foolish attempt to shore up votes.  Most responsible would be the so-called "deep state", the perpetual, unelected, unaccountable war mongers who have enabled the situation for the gain of the moneyed powers who grease their palms.  When the great war comes and if the USA is pummeled with nuclear weapons, there will be an exodus of citizens both north and south, perhaps mostly south, but will those nations accept the genuine refugees?  Seems unlikely to me given the rejection and deportation of current illegal immigrants in the USA, regardless of their illegal status.  This may also occur with other western nations which are destroyed and perishing under a pall of nuclear fallout, unable to grow their own food any longer, people seeking refuge in third world countries that, to date, the global elitists have oppressed so that they could never develop.  Those countries, not struck down with death from the sky, and barely able to feed themselves, will be well within their rights to reject such refugees.

We face a terrifying future should such circumstances arise.  My view, which I have held for the better part of the past 25 years, is that we should take all steps necessary to prepare to survive right where we live, if at all possible.  Once again, I would remind the reader that I make no claims to prophetic insights and merely express my current views, the most important of which is to trust in God.

Still Watching Jimmy

A splinter on the longevity of Jimmy Carter...

With all that is going on in the USA, I found myself thinking about an old post from May, 2017, entitled, "Watch Jimmy", since, at that time, I thought that his death may be imminent and that it would mark the time just before the great tribulation.  However, it is clear that, regarding his longevity, I was way off!  See the post here if you wish.  Anyway, I still contend that his death will be a significant marker regarding the great tribulation.  Perhaps his great longevity is really just God being merciful toward us all, holding back until the human crop is absolutely ripe, both the darnel and the wheat.  At this point, I really can't see the former POTUS lasting much longer.  The poor old bloke is barely conscious of the world around him at this stage, or so it would appear.  Seven years ago I was not that afraid of the coming global war but it unnerves me a lot more now, having thought much more about the consequences of global war ending in a nuclear holocaust.  The hope I have is, as always, in Christ, for in Him there is no death, not ever again.  I pray that He is also your hope and the rock upon which you are firmly fixed.

If the Donald Wins?

As you may know, I have previously said that I believe that the corrupt establishment, along with their useful idiots among the Trump-hating masses, will do whatever it takes to ensure they retain power no matter what the majority of legitimate voters in the USA want.  I should point out that it is not necessarily the case that they would win but only that they would hatch any and every conceivable wicked plan to do so (and even at this late stage I would not put it past them).  However, this morning, while writing an email to a friend whose view of Trump is severely skewed by the MSM, it occurred to me that if Trump is placed back into office then there may be a good reason for it... and the following is an excerpt from that letter:

"I do not know if it is too late already to stop WW3 but, if it isn't, then having a globalist establishment useful idiot, a woman who is dumber than dust and has been failing up continuously over the past four years, a woman totally controlled by the global bankster parasite class who profit heavily from all wars and catastrophes and social discord and economic disruption, a woman whose morality is historically completely absent, whose fruit of her actions has been poverty, suffering and death to many people, Kamala Harris, sitting in one of the most powerful offices in the world, can only guarantee WW3 and nuclear holocaust... but, as I said, I do not know if it is already too late to stop it.  The Lord said, "... that time will be cut short for the sake of the elect or no flesh would survive."  That suggests to me that, by some means, God will ensure that, although the coming tribulation (and we are surrounded by its signs already) will be the worst time in all of history, He will ensure it does not utterly consume all life and, specifically, human life.  Maybe that is a reason to have Trump in place?"

If Trump re-enters the office of president and if it is already too late to curtail WW3 and its terminal stage of nuclear catastrophe (and it does increasingly appear to be the case), perhaps he, and his party, are put there to be part of the process that helps to cut the time of terrible tribulation shorter than it would otherwise be.  After all, Christ-haters, like Harris and their ilk, who are pressing forward as much as possible with every imaginable anti-human and ecologically destructive "green" policy they can dream up, do not have the kind of spirit which seeks to save humanity, or life in general, from total annihilation, especially if it threatens their hegemonic power to do so.  They each house the spirit of death, Satan, the spirit of not-God.  They each have a choice to make, to choose repentance and return to God and all truth or to continue in their path of eventual inevitable total destruction.

One cannot guarantee that Trump will do what is right but, it does appear, based on his previous time in office and his clear move towards Christ more than he ever has before, God may have a special role for him to play which, although begun, may not yet be complete.  We can only pray and watch and do what we can in our own individual spheres of influence.  If you continually seek God, He will continually establish your steps even without you realising it.  I also want to remind every reader that I make no claim to prophetic insights... that is for God to do and the means of delivering such messages is always for Him to decide.

Anyway, it was all just a thought that occurred to me on this momentous occasion.  As always, do not trust in the things and ways and ideas of godless man, whose spirit is becoming ever more akin purely to Satan, but trust only in the Ever Living God and His Christ, Yeshua, our saviour, our redeemer, our eternal king, in whom we have hope and life eternal and in whom is all authority in heaven and on earth for ever and for ever and ever.

Donald Trump versus the Mother of Lies

Regardless of what that debate appeared to be, or how it appeared to go, one thing was clear... it was ABC/Harris versus one lone human being, Trump.  Satan, the accuser, is the father of lies and, when Satan lies, that is his natural tongue.  It would appear also to be the natural tongue of Harris and the "moderators" at ABC News.  It is a clear mark of the children of the devil, bold-faced accusation and lying.  Literally on every point during the few minutes that I could barely stomach, Harris spoke the diametrical opposite of the truth.  She accused Trump of undermining democracy, but he has not and, rather, the Democrats and the MSM have done so relentlessly and, additionally, the USA is not a democracy, it is a constitutional republic operating (or, which once upon a time, operated) under the rule of law, and which incorporates what can only be described as some kind of "democratic" sub-processes in the election of representatives (a pure democracy can only ever devolve into a tyranny and the founders of the constitution clearly understood it); she accused Trump of undermining the constitution when it is the Democrats and the MSM who have been relentlessly attacking the constitution for decades; she accused Trump of inciting a violent riot at the capital on January 6th, 2021, when it is clear to all and sundry that no such thing ever occurred (we've all seen the footage of law enforcement officers actually leading the unarmed "rioters" peacefully into the building and who ever heard of an unarmed insurrection, anyway?); she claimed that law enforcement officers were killed at the so-called January 6th "riots" but no such thing occurred; she claimed she was there that day but, as far as anyone knows, she was only there in the morning and left for the rest of the day, and the list goes on and on and on.

Do you notice a couple of important telltale signs in the things she said... they carry the two clear indicators of the spirit we call, Satan -- accusation and lies, the signatures of Satan.

I am going to be candid with you, my small handful of readers, since you are only a small group, although I do not personally know you, but you take an interest in what I have to say... I had a personal and direct encounter with the prince of darkness many years ago, when I was a young 24 year old.  I will not describe the details except to say that it was an assassination attempt on me by that dark spirit, an attempt which the Lord personally stepped in to block, a personal encounter of both of the opposite ends of the spiritual realm, the greater reality that is hidden from our physical senses.  Again, I will not attempt to describe how all this came about, what it was like, etc., being that it is very difficult to convey such a thing, except to say that the name, Satan, which primarily means accuser, is exactly correct and the encounter was simply the most terrifying experience I have ever had even up until now, but the encounter with the Lord (and that was not the only one) was one of the most incredibly wonderful experiences I have ever had.  An interesting aspect of that experience was that, in the process of the attack, the enemy did not accuse me of anything I had not done but only of things I had done and, being only recently born again of water and of the Spirit of God, I had no clue as to how to combat this, but I remembered, later when it was all over, that all my sins had been forgiven.  That is something to keep in mind; forgive others who have sinned against you and seek God's forgiveness for your own misdeeds.  The enemy may have ammunition to use against you but it is rendered as nothing more than scary, very noisy blanks by the mercy and grace of God.  Why did the devil accuse me not of things I had not done but only of those I had done?  Accusing one of that which one has not done can only cause anger but accusing one of those things one actually has done fills one with humiliation and fear, an intensely deep sense of shame, the sense of being exposed as a wicked sinner, and is an overwhelming experience against which one feels completely defenseless... thus the need for the shield of faith, the trust that God has forgiven us when we are in Christ and we repent of and confess our sins to Him.  I was attacked that way because I did not remember that I had that shield, a consequence of my inexperience as a Christian.

The name, Satan, is also taken to mean destroyer but that is not quite right.  He is also called Abaddon (Hebrew) and Apollyon (Greek) in the Book of Revelation (Rev 9:11), and those names are also perfectly chosen, for that spirit is the spirit of lies, hypocrisy and accusation, the spirit of destruction, the spirit of death, the spirit of annihilation of existence, the spirit of everything that is in opposition to the nature of the Ever Living God.  Remember, Satan is a spiritual being, not a singular being, and every singular, personal being who rejects God and Christ is subject to Satan and is moving towards the full expression of that spirit (losing all retention of truth - and truth is reality - and becoming void and nothing but emptiness and falsehood, devoid of created form, devoid of goodness which is what evil really is - the absence of good, and "full" of nothingness which is what lies really are, in essence becoming worthless, returning to "uncreation", the formless void, nonexistence).  Likewise, the opposite is true of those who love God and are in Christ, moving towards the full expression of Christ (the fullness of God and of His created good for all that God created was good).  Just as darkness is not the presence of something but the absence of it, specifically light, evil is not the presence of something but its absence, the absence of some or all of the good which God created in the beginning.  An evil spirit is a spirit whose expression lacks the good created by God, thus its nature is chaos and destruction, not order and creation, and it motivates and moves inexorably towards the cessation of existence.  Whenever you read of Satan, saying something or doing something as recorded in the scriptures, it can be any one of the fallen angels or demons or a group of them, etc., for, since they are departed from, or already apart from, physical existence, no restraint remains to their full expression of the enemy of God and they are all fully Satan, the full expression of that spirit, and they do have a hierarchy based on fear and terror, and how fundamentally destructive they are, how leading they are in opposing God, so they have chiefs among them and an ultimate chief, one who could be considered the Satan, if you like.  Enoch (in the book of Enoch) called all the violent and destructive, illegitimate progeny of the fallen watchers, the satans, and you can now understand why.  Remember, spirit is primary, it is the fundamental form, the basis of all that exists, it is the means of the expression of some kind of nature and no personal being can exist without some form of expression, without spirit.  Every spirit is an expression of some characteristic or characteristics and they are the fundaments of existence which God has created, but a spirit whose existence came about by departure from God of a created being is or becomes evil, losing all its good if it had any to begin with, departing from its original form, because it is severed from connection to the Creator and source of life and existence, thus becoming evil and void.

Also, did you notice the chapter and verse number in Revelation, 9:11, wherein reference is made to the king of the bottomless pit, "the destroyer", Abaddon and Apollyon?  The secular date of the destruction in New York, the date of the "debate" yesterday, is a seemingly "special" date for the prince of darkness to express himself in the USA.  Perhaps it is a coincidence but, after almost sixty years on this planet, I can assure you that there are no coincidences in related matters.  "Destroyer" would seem to be an appropriate moniker for the coming "son of perdition".

It is difficult, at this stage, to believe that the appearance of the son of perdition is yet distant but, whatever things corrupt or wicked people say or do, we must pray for those whose expression is Satan, who are expressing opposition to God's plans for His creation, for humanity, since such people can yet be saved if they choose to repent.  We must pray for all people.  As long as they live and breath, as long as their hearts beat, they can yet be saved... if they choose to repent.  Only God knows which is which, only God knows the innermost thoughts of the hearts of mankind.

There may be more I have to say on the debate and, if so, I will append it to this post but, for now, I will simply leave you with a reminder to place your trust in God, not in man, for only God can and will triumph over all evil for He has not, will not and absolutely cannot fail.

A painful splinter... "Raygun"... we're so embarrassed!

I caught wind of "Raygun's" so-called "breaking" performance.  Have not been following the wokelympics, it is so utterly worthless now.  Truthfully, all that thoroughly pagan Olympics nonsense lost my attention decades ago.  In any case, I decided to have a look at what all the fuss was about... and I cringed, cringed, then cringed some more and could not watch the whole thing through, or even half of it.  It was worse than listening to Kamala Harris' verbal diarrhoea.  I did not know that was possible!  We are SO embarrassed.  Almost feel sorry for her... almost.  Guess she'll receive a participation award since that is what woke gives you for scoring a big, empty zero.  I knew Australia was already half way down the woke toilet but this?  I think we're already in the woke sewer on the way to the treatment plant... which typically involves complete destruction of all that remains leaving only mud and silt for fertiliser.  That's about all that I expect will remain after these troubled times.  God help us!!  Oh well, at least it was good for a (nervous) laugh even though I winced in the process.

Looking Back - Daniel 2:43 and the Seed of Men

While watching reports of the trouble in the UK, trouble which will, with little doubt, come to America and perhaps Australia, the western nations in general, I recalled a post I wrote about seven years ago regarding multiculturalism's true intent.... and if you have not read it and are interested, here is a link:
 
https://rustybasalt.blogspot.com/2017/01/daniel-243-and-seed-of-men.html

Yeshua is our hope, and reading that line from Daniel, where it says, "Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.", brings cheer to my heavy heart.  My aspiration is that such hope in the inerrable word and promise of God lights up your heart, too.

Onwards and upwards, brothers and sisters, for the Kingdom of Heaven is nigh.

Is Kamala Dumber than Dust? A splinter rant.

Is Kamala Harris really that profoundly stupid or is it all a bluff?  I'm aware that she is not exactly Mensa material but I saw part of a late night Sky News Australia programme reporting on the things she says and listening to Harris was so "cringy" that I actually had to switch it off... it was embarassing to watch, it was painful.  Is she actually just a drug-addled moron?  Is this really what the USA has come to?  Is this the result of equity, giving kids participation awards and other such cultural Marxism nonsense?  She is possibly the most stupid person I have ever seen (that is putting it mildly) and she is running for the office of the president!  She has to be the ultimate useful idiot and it is disturbing that she appears to think she is being deep and that others should be spoken to as if they were children!  If you haven't, until now, thought the world was in trouble, well, perhaps Harris will change your mind.  This world is in serious, indeed very serious trouble!  Having somebody dumber than a fart occupying one of the most powerful offices in the world can only end very, very badly.
 
Yes, I know, we should be all kind and blah blah... but, seriously?  To say she is human is one thing but to call her intelligent should be a crime.
 
Trust God, not man and definitely not Kamala Harris!!!  Trust only God.

"What Can Be, Unburdened.. "... blah blah ... a splinter on that nonsense

All around is commentary on what Harris means by, "What can be [is] unburdened by what has been."  It is neither deep nor completely meaningless.  It is simple... "We want to throw off the restraints of the past for the possibilities of the future."  It is, as mentioned in the previous post, almost as profound as a dry puddle, it is less than two dimensional as, it would seem, is Harris.  In essence, she is saying that she wants to cast off the lawful restraints of a Christian culture to allow a pagan, free-for-all, do as you please "culture" (I wrote that last word in quotes because chaos, which is undefinable, is not culture which is comprehensible, has meaning, structure and purpose).  Not that the culture of the USA is currently Christian but its founding documents incorporate Christian values which, necessarily, demand self-governing behaviour, something the left despises.  Harris is promoting lawlessness but fails to recognise that she, the US government and pretty much all western governments, if not all governments, are already lawless.  True law, by its very nature, is eternal and unchanging but governments across the world are constantly changing the definition of what is "lawful".   That behaviour is, by definition, lawlessness, and a clear indication of the last days.

Harris is plainly and openly rejecting the God of all creation, the One who is referenced in the founding documents of the USA and by whose Son western civilisation was possible, the One who imbues human beings with inherent value.  Harris is, as far as I can see, a dimwitted muppet ultimately under the control of the globanksters, though there are several intermediate layers to the control stucture.  This is both sad and incredibly dangerous... and I have little doubt as to where this is intended to lead.  Will it go there?  We will soon enough see!

I say it again and again and again, ad infinitum, and I hope it never grates on your nerves because it is essential to our future; the only true hope any human being has... trust God, look to Christ, there is no other way through this mess.
 
 

Now, About that Intellectual Giant, Harris...

The real danger with Kamala Harris is that she appears to believe her own nonsense, she appears to actually believe that she is somehow wise and deep... though nobody else seems to think so (perhaps except for that 27% of voting age USA'ians who think that Biden is competent as POTUS).  She's almost as deep as a dry puddle.
 
Why, you may ask, is it a grave danger?  Simply because if such a nit-wit begins to officiate from the oval office, delusionally believing that she is somehow intellectually and philosophically gifted, then seriously erroneous judgements and choices will be made and, when such bad decisions are made in one of the most powerful offices on Earth with regards to international affairs then the potential for global conflict will escalate beyond the darkest nightmares of the most depraved of Hollywood directors.
 
The hallmark of the left is the hallmark of Satan, pride, in this case expressing itself as the wilful self-deception of great self-importance.  A person so lacking in understanding and coming from the legal profession, wherein she discriminated against politically opposed people by treating then unjustly for petty offences, may well fit the prophecy of William Branham, wherein he said that she would be a cruel-hearted woman... but something very similar could be said of Hillary Clinton, I guess.  Given Harris' anti-Trump rancour, it would not surprise me in the least if she was one of the first to re-introduce the use of the guillotine, particularly against Christians.  We know that is coming... that is why it was depicted by the "elitists" at the Olympic Games opening ceremony with a beheaded Marie Antoinette, in essense a message disguised in a historical account.  The blasphemy of the LGBT last supper tells us their plans regarding their global religion and the depiction of a beheaded person is telling us their plans for their enemies, Christians.  The beheading of Christians is well documented in the future history written in the book of Revelation.

Personally, I believe that if KDH becomes the next POTUS then WWIII within her first term will almost certainly be assured... and, well, you know that I actually think, at least at this point, that she will get in, whether honestly or not.  If she does find herself with her back to the oval office window, will there be revolution in the USA?  Would it surprise anyone?  Or, at least, anyone who is not electroencephalographically challenged?

Nevertheless, we never need trust in the ways and institutions of man.  We only need to trust in God.

A Twig - Harris or Clinton? i.e. the Devil or the Devil?

There's been talk around the rumour mill about Clinton re-entering the race.  Could be, but seems all a bit too late, though we don't know what kind of wicked scheme the lefties are planning.  Nevertheless, seems that the current VP may be a more likely choice despite her inconsistent public persona and apparently fruit-loop intellect.  I recalled a post I wrote about Harris some years ago... could it be coming true?  I guess we will have to watch...
 
rustybasalt.blogspot.com/2021/02/kamala-devi-harris-prophesied-by.html

The end is very near, of that I have little doubt.  Trust in God, not man whatever you do, look to the Ever Living God, to His only-begotten Son, the eternal King of Righteousness and Peace.

Tangentially, I noticed that in that old post I assumed that the two witnesses would appear either before or after the great war but currently my view is that they are concurrent, at least to a great extent, the two witnesses appearing on the scene during or at the beginning of the war and continuing after it ends until they are killed.  The war is likely to be short compared to the previous two great wars, I think perhaps between ten months and two years.  All just my personal view.

Addendum 2024-07-24

You know, I was just thinking... if Harris takes over during the current Biden reign, does that count for a term in office thus limiting her to only one more?  Is this an issue considered by the powers-that-be so that they would keep propping up old "Bernie", uh, I mean Biden, until the "weekend" is over?  Perhaps they have a more sinister plan in place in the case that Harris has to warm the oval office chair before the election, you know, something like creating a crisis to enable a police state and suspension of elections or something to that effect, or even changing laws to enable eternal occupation of the office by the deep-state-selected psychopaths (after all, they are accusing Trump of planning such a thing which means it is something they have definitely themselves considered doing).  As for the mark of the beast, my figuring is that it comes in during or immediately after the great war as a supposedly "necessary" measure due to complete collapse of national and global financial systems but I suspect that you already realise the reason for the war is the mark of the beast and its intended outcome, total enslavement and destruction of God's family (the devil is not interested in attacking the damned).  NATO (i.e. globankster cartel's war machine) is not provoking Russia for nothing.
 
A quote from another one of my early 2021 posts...
 
"It would not surprise me in the slightest if, suddenly at some point, Biden were to be declared unfit for office, due to his clearly declining mental health, or even turn up dead due to "natural causes", like so many who have had a brush with the Clintons in years gone by, and Harris would then become the effective president."

Is this happening?  Is Bernie Biden conveniently gone before the "weekend" is over?  If so, I fear for his wife and family... but I really can't say so I will watch very carefully.

A Stump on Trump

It was clear that this would eventually transpire, that some lunatic leftist would attempt to assassinate Trump.  Yes, I am speaking from a place of partial ignorance, that is, I do not know who actually shot him and killed another and injured others, I do not know that psychopath's mental state or political affiliation... but, c'mon!  How much evidence do we need to know that this was an attempt either by a hired hitman knowingly working for a cabal of globalist, deep state conspirators or a so-called "lone" lunatic leftist unwittingly working for a cabal of globalist psychopaths?  The fact is that the left has demonised and attacked Trump so thoroughly and so persistently for years now that it was difficult to see how this year's election was not going to be preceded by attempts to permanently derail him.  My view was that the Democrats would seek a way to stop the election if they could not stop Trump's election campaign and intent to run.  They have tried everything; lawfare, constant false accusations of collusion with Russia and other state enemies, attacks on his character in the media, casting Trump as a lunatic, a psychotic dictator, as Hitler, and even as the devil.  Biden himself recently said that "it's time to put a bullseye on him," or something to that effect.  Deep hatred for Trump has been fomented by the deep state and other globalist billionaires and state leaders and the globanksters using the useful idiots of the left and it has influenced the entire world, with the dutifully partisan leftist MSM kindling the fires of hatred day after day, month after month, year after year.  TDS (Trump derangement syndrome) is a real phenomena.  And, why?  Because Trump is not one of them.  He is anti-globalism and, in spite of his checkered past, he is pro-family, pro-life, pro-freedom, in short, Trump is pro-everything which is pro-humanity and, therefore, anti-everything globalist.  The devil ain't happy with that!  His useful idiots are foaming at the mouth, chomping at the bit, wishing deep down that the bullet had found its intended mark.  Oh, they would still come out condemning it but it would be crocodile tears and would have got them what they have been chasing for years.  People who do not bat an eyelid at the industrialised mass murder of infants, even enforcing it as law, will not, even for a yocto-second, regret the assassination of their opponents.  They have absolutely no regard for other peoples' lives and no regard for truth.  As with their father, the devil, there is no truth in them, none left at all.  There is literally no way to save the souls of such people, and there is nothing left worth saving, anyway.
 
Hopefully, many, and if at all possible, most on the left who are not yet completely deranged, will start coming to their senses, recognise that this is the result of all their hatred and division, and repent of such behaviour, come to the table and negotiate.  There are also those falling for this madness on the right and this will, I hope, wake them out of their slide into oblivion.  My concern is that this will actually become like what has happened with Israel, Hamas and their terrorist supporters around the world.  The vast bulk of political violence around the world for many years now has been from the left, not that there is none from the far right, but the left lose their minds at the tiniest thing and they have stood behind Hamas, never for a moment condemning the attacks on innocent Israelis, the mass murder, torture, raping and kidnapping of Israeli people, many men, women and children.  They could have condemned Hamas while still supporting afflicted Gazans, and I am no supporter of the Israeli government in as far as they have at times done abominable things (and I never conflate a government with its people), but that is not what leftists around the world have done.  The problem with collectivism is that there is little to no individual thought, collectivists tend to think alike because they do not think for themselves, rather, they are indoctrinated in how to think and what to believe.  I fear the same will happen with this situation, with Trump, as has happened with Israel, the hard left lionising people who attempt to "take out" their figure of unimaginable and completely unmerited hatred, never condemning what has occurred.  This is exactly what the globalists want... division, submission, enslavement and death.  Do not play their game, for it is siding with Satan.
 
Of course, there will be a "thorough" investigation, sweeping under the rug all of the cursing and polemics against Trump by the radical left, whitewashing themselves of their part in this event.  It will be a worthless investigation if controlled by the current administration or any of the three-letter deep state organisations, except that there may be members within those organisations who, sooner or later, blow the whistle.  Who knows?  Maybe it will be a proper investigation, but my gut tells me... no, it probably won't.  If anything, they will likely say it was a lone, lunatic gunman, despite the long range of the shot requiring a reasonably skilled sniper (although, perhaps not a professional hitman, but one cannot be certain), and they will play down any political affiliation if it is with the left, for which there is little to no doubt in my mind.  Frankly, I am growing very weary of the radical left, they are deranged, dissentious, demonic, disconnected from reality, deluded, dangerous and destructive.  Pray for their eyes to be opened, but be careful not to be drawn into their divisive rhetoric.

As always, trust in God, not in man, for, although many have good intentions, the outcome is always dependent on the spirit motivating them and, for the most part, that spirit is evil.  The road to hell is paved with "good intentions."  Trust God, not man.

__________________________
 
Addendum:
 
I have just heard that the would-be assassin was a 20 year old man.  Hardly likely to be a professional hitman, more likely to be someone who, in my view, like any 20 year old, had little to no real world experience, had little or no useful understanding of political, geopolitical, philosophical, economic, cultural and spiritual matters and realities, no historical knowledge (or, at least, none that is correct and balanced) and had been completely indoctrinated with Marxist leftist, anti-USA, anti-Trump, anti-Christian, misanthropic, thoroughly pagan, evolution-believing, idolatrous, hate-filled rhetoric, driven mad by emotions resulting from climate alarmism, false religion and corrupted morals instead of reason and a firm moral foundation.  The departure from the true God leads to insanity and death... but I am just speculating here, not declaring.  We will simply have to wait, but I have little confidence in seeing an honest result.  Like 9-11, it will probably be whitewashed with the declaration that "it was an outsider" and they will excuse or memory-hole all that hatred they have been spewing against Trump and conservatives for such a long time, claiming it has nothing to do with this event.  How did he get anywhere near the stage from a rooftop vantage point and a clear line-of-sight path to the stage?  How did the secret service so glaringly fail?  The questions go on and on... but we will just have to wait and pray that nobody else comes anywhere near this close to succeeding at what the hard left have been wishing into reality for such a very long time.

Twig - Possibly 27% of USA'ians are Demented.

For future reference, a Twig is the tiniest post I write, a Stick is a small post, and a Stump or a Sapling is a relatively small post compared to a Post.

Anyway, apparently 27% of voters in the USA think that Biden is mentally competent to continue as POTUS.  So, does that mean that about 27% of voting age people in the USA are even more demented than Biden?  That would be a very serious problem but would also explain the current condition of the country.  Perhaps it's the long term consequence of the loony-leftist, magical-thinking, drug culture... it would not surprise me at all.

The World is Largely Antichrist

As you are probably aware, the threat to Russia posed by the US and NATO is real, but it is also intentional and will lead us to WWIII.   I know that many say it "might" lead to war but, unfortunately for the world, it does.  Don't try to cage an already angry bear; it cannot result in good things.  Antichrists (socialists, communists, all the 'ists and their close relatives) whose central tenet is that there is no God and Christ has not come in the flesh (John, the disciple of the Lord, gave us the definition of "antichrist" so no need to look to scholars of ancient Greek - always remember that the scripture interprets itself) believe in only one thing - power.  So, with an antichrist in the office of POTUS, surrounded by antichrist sycophants, willed on by a popoulation which has a large contingent of antichrists steeped in fictional demonic world-views, allied to other nations brimming over with similar antichrists, it is impossible to see how this will end well and impossible to see how there will be anybody left... except that our Lord and Saviour has told us that the time will be shortened for the sake of the elect or, otherwise, no flesh would survive.
 
A short article worth reading with a video worth watching (the article is short but the video is very long although one gets the gist of where it is going in the first ten minutes and only the audio content is of importance - you could listen while you prepare dinner or clean the house... or something like that, I guess)...

As always, trust the Lord, our Ever Living God.  Fallen man apart from God, as with fallen angels, is Satan, so trust only our Saviour, Christ.

Ridiculous Hype over the Painting of King Charles III

Frankly, I strongly dislike the new and recently revealed portrait of King Charles III, painted by Jonathan Yeo.  Sadly it appears to me as being artistically weak and gives the impression of having been done in a hurry, even though it probably wasn't.  However, there has been much foolish comment on-line regarding the portrait of the much maligned king and former Prince of Wales.  Now, don't misundertand, I am not defending anything that Charles may have said or done prior to this point in time.  He is a strong supporter of the insanity of climate alarmism, the WEF and perhaps other nefarious things of evil intent, and there is much we do not know about him, but the cries about his portrait range from the inane to the ridiculous.  They range from claims of him bathing in rivers of blood to time in hell duelling it out with the devil.  All of this is stupid and I am not going to join in with a chorus of foolishness.  I will judge the art, not the King.

First of all, the colour is not actually red, but leans rather towards hues of scarlet, some pink and in areas towards a slightly vermilion tint, with some fiery redish-yellow spots and other dark spots.  One could argue that it is meant to look hellish but that is making the claim that one knows the appearance of hell, that it is pink with butterflies in it and, if hell were to be all on fire (scripturally unsupported), that portrait looks little to nothing like a firescape.  I can tell you with quite reasonable confidence that all those people saying such things have not a clue about hell, nor about "gehenna" which is always mistranslated as hell in English bibles.

Secondly, the art is of the artist, not of Charles, that is, what is depicted came from the artist's mind, not from the subject.  It tells you much more about the artist and his concept of Charles than it does about Charles.  The art, and remember it is of the artist's mind, not that of Charles, could be perceived as depicting anything from a closeup of the colours within a flower, strongly supported by the presence of a butterfly, to something of a sensually debauched nature, but not fire or blood.  Charles is known for his support of the World Wildlife Fund which, despite being evil in its true intent as far as I can tell, conveys the concept of the preservation of life.  Many people do not pereceive the WWF as anything but charitable because they do not dig deeply enough or simply do not want to know.  On the other hand, Charles is, unlike many of his predecessors, not openly opposed to the destruction of sexual norms or, at least, that is the public perception.  Could that be a factor in Yeo's choice?  I cannot speak to the motives regarding the King's own particular tendencies, nor of his tendencies themselves, whether good or evil, nor about those of the artist, least of all because I do not know either man, let alone their secrets and, most of all because that is for God to judge.  However, I reiterate that the art describes the artist's own ideas, interpretations, perceptions and ways of being, not those of Charles.

Every designer, every person who engages in a creative pursuit (and I can assure you that electronics engineering is a creative pursuit, made much more difficult than many other creative endeavours due to being stringently disciplined by reality, the "forces" of nature, and besides that I play both a guitar and a didgeridoo and have written poetry and songs since I was in my teens) knows or, at least, eventually comes to realise that everything he or she makes is imbued with his or her own ideas.  That is an inescapable reality for every person.  I sometimes feel the need to remind people that something cannot come out of you if it is not already in you and, what does come out of you comes from and through you, making you responsible for it, whatever it may be.

My father was a painter, both kinds of painter, painting houses for a living and portraits and landscapes for a hobby.  He was very good at it.  What I noticed was that, in his earlier years, he strived to reflect reality to the best of his ability, pursuing realism, seeking to reflect what he could, as best as he could, perceive before him.  As he aged, his painting matured, with realism always playing an important role but depicted through a filter of philosophical thought, thereby creating art that was not a photograph of a face or a scene but, instead, an abstract reflection of his response to what he perceived, weaving into the visual components emotional responses and philosophical concepts and ideals.  The art grew more and more abstract with time, but it never departed from depicting reality in some way.  It never wandered into the realm of pure fiction, but always revealed the heart of the painter.

My view of Yeo's painting is that a very similar thing has occurred with Yeo as happened with my father, with respect to his artistic pursuits over time.  As one ages, and I notice this of myself, the perception of the world gradually changes from a superficial perception, such as that of a child, to a deep one, such as that of an adult who has lived through enough real world experiences to no longer see the world as merely the things on Earth.  Of course, there is never a seismic shift in perception at some particular age, since it happens gradually, and much of my undertstanding of the world has grown over decades and is a result of seeing it through a biblical lens, which I have found to be the most reliable of all lenses tried, so much so that I eventually came to realise that when it does not appear to show me reality correctly, it is not the lens that is the problem but, rather, it is me.

Yeo has had his own battles, his own struggles, and whether one likes or hates his art or even him or Charles has no bearing on the truth, for Yeo is, like Charles and you and me, made in the image of God, though warped by sin, with our perceptions of each other and ourselves distorted or discoloured by our own imperfections and those imperfections being made only worse by our pride, an ever lurking tendency to self-importance and belief in the untrue about oneself, protecting the ego with a wall made of lies.  So, I strongly suggest that you avoid joining in with the chorus of hatred and vile speak regarding the individuals involved with that portrait, lest you be the one casting a stone with your own name on it.  Let God be the judge of their hearts.  You can hate the portrait all you like and remain free of being judged for it but it is a potentially dangerous game to engage in because, often without our realising it, we end up vilifying the people for the thing and not the thing itself.  Far too easy to do.  If judging anything, judge sin, not people, except perhaps yourself, but do so truthfully and bearing in mind the love that God has for us, so much so that He gave His only begotten son as a sacrifice to save our miserable, undeserving souls, every last one willing to receive Him.
 
Time will eventually reveal the true intent of Yeo's heart regarding his depiction of Charles.  For now, although I find it garish overall, though Charles' face is quite accurate (even if not very emotionally truthful in my own eyes), I will simply accept it as a piece of art by an acclaimed artist depicting a modern day sovereign, in that regard differing little from such portraiture of the past.  Screaming about the colours being symbols of evil and hell is simply childish and ridiculous.  They are colours, not demons.

Finally, as always, trust God, not man, trust in God and only Him.

Stormy on High

This short post is a quick comment or two regarding some high level auroral activity on the Earth which is currently occuring.
 
Solar storms like we have not seen in decades have been striking the Earth over the past day.  I am expecting increased such activity in coming months and the next few years, in part because we are in the midst of a solar cycle but in part for other reasons.  You may (or may not) recall a post I wrote about a year ago:

rustybasalt.blogspot.com/2023/04/the-fury-of-sun.html

Don't take what I wrote in that post too seriously.  Events that occur in the heavens are things we can do nothing much about.  Whether or not the current activity or even the current sunspots (which may come back around after a couple of weeks and yet again in about a month) are what I have been expecting, it is not possible to say.  The current activity is really not particularly abnormal even though it is unusual.  We are roughly in the middle of a solar cycle, after all.  However, watch for escalation, especially when sunspot 3664 comes back around, assuming it survives (personally, I think it will), and perhaps comes around yet again.  Could there be big storms on the upcoming day of pentecost (shavuot) on the 11th/12th of June?  Note that I go by the Hebrew calendar regarding issues such as feast days.  Western Christianity's dates on such things are plain wrong.
 
There will be signs in the sun, the moon and the stars, but we need not concern ourselves too much with such things except to note and observe them in the context of our current place in the biblical timeline.  Our hope and our trust should be fixed upon Christ and worries about the ephermeral will fade away.

There's an old post regarding multiculturalism which you may not have read and perhaps you might wish to do so and then watch the video linked further down.  I'm no prophet but the bible is full of prophecy, of that you can be certain.

I've said it many times and I will repeat myself ad-nauseum... do NOT trust in man or his ways and his world.  Trust only in God, put your faith in Christ Yeshua, for He is our only true and eternal rock, our ark through this storm, our only true hope.

Yuval Noah Harari - Windbag

Harari, seemingly a know-it-all, claims to know the future... yet utterly denies the existence of He who knows the end from the beginning.  Sadly, Harari is a clear example of the result of the strong delusion, the belief in the godless existence of a causal universe, which is itself finite and temporal but seemingly without a first cause, and the consequent belief in muck-to-man evolution contrary to all well established physics, chemistry and information science.  Such people as this not only deny the existence of the true Creator but end up having to substitute silly fairy tales for real science itself since science cannot, and does not, disagree with the revelation of God in Christ.  It only looks that way to one who is ignorant or ill-informed with biased or corrupted information or who, like a little child who plugs his ears with his fingers and tightly shuts his eyes, deceives himself that what is happening before his face really is not happening... and such is the nature of those who reject the truth, who do not receive a love of the truth because they absolutely hate it since it would mean acknowledging their sinful rebellion, wicked ways, and the need to repent.
 
Personally, thanks to the Lord, I have almost never suffered from the supposed conflict between science and Christianity because it has always seemed apparent to me that Darwinian evolution (including its various derivatives) is merely a bad hypothesis, and now it is utterly discredited, and no field of actual, real science have I ever found in disagreement with what God has revealed to us.  Such disagreements seem only to appear in untested or untestable hypotheses, not in experimentally demonstrable realities.  It is, in fact, the belief of Christians of the past, such as Newton, Galileo and others who, for belief in an orderly Creator came to believe that the creation would thus be logical and comprehensible, which is precisely what gave rise to modern science.  No pagan system of belief can come to that since they all believe in selfish, capricious "gods" who are nothing more than the anthropomorphisation of the "forces" and characteristics of nature or, more broadly, of created things and, being that people can be irrational in their ideas and impulsive in their behaviour, thus are the pagan deities, so why would any pagan expect the universe to be in any way comprehensible?   However, as it always is with humanity's new ventures into unknown territory, wherever the righteous go, the worthless and wicked sooner or later will follow, corrupting everything that has thus far been built.  The wicked are unable to build anything of true worth for themselves, since their worldview is not based in reality, and such have always depended on others to provide them with what they desire, which they then manipulate to their own selfish ends.  This is a characteristic I have noticed for most of my life, that the wicked are invariably parasites in their ways of existence, the more wicked then the more parasitic.  In reality, we are none of us perfect so that we are somewhere on a spectrum between completely righteous and completely wicked, but the worse one is, the more psychotic and parasitic one's behaviour tends to be.  It was interesting to me when, in later years, I learned that this was somewhat akin to C. S. Lewis's view that evil does not exist in or of itself but it has the character of a parasite.
 
Anyway, the link below is to a recent release from the "Stop World Control" website.  I have been unable to watch the video because of my poor (by today's standards) Internet connection and the site on which the video is hosted, Rumble, is not "friendly" when it comes to less than perfect Internet connections, even when I set the resolution to the lowest possible (which should be acceptable for my connection most of the time but still works poorly or not at all... one of the costs of not living in a large urban area but a small price to pay for being less subject to the totalitarian control and total surveillance by modern governments).  Note that although I agree with David Sorensen (of Stop World Control) on some issues, I do not agree with some of his claims, and I have been across much of the nefarious machinations of the globalists since I was in my early twenties nearly four decades ago, so I am not a newbie at this, not by any stretch.  Sorensen appears to sometimes be blinded by what he sees in the physical realm and fails to see what the scriptures clearly tell us is in our future.  I will not write here what my disagreements with Sorensen actually are because I believe that if you watch the video then you should do so without my bias regarding Sorensen's views influencing your interpretation.  However, I suspect that the film is still worth watching even if only to get a better idea of what the WEF and such globalist circuses actually believe is in humanity's future.  The title of this post was because Harari is seen early in the film and I got to hear a few seconds of his speech (before it stopped playing and the browser froze), in essence merely the same old mostly baseless nonsense he has been mindlessly spewing for years.  Why is he so acclaimed?  Well, in reality, he isn't, except by the WEF and the almost entirely globalist owned and controlled MSM.
 
2Ti 4:3 ASV  For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, having itching ears, will heap to themselves teachers after their own lusts;

Simply, the leadership of the WEF uses Harari because he scratches their itching ears for them (both parties being parasitic toward each other), telling them and their acolytes what they want to hear, nothing more, and Harari's status as an academic provides them and their claims with the appearance of authority where in reality there is none.  Meanwhile, he is handsomely rewarded for his pandering to their position, one he has, entirely of his own accord, wilfully deceived himself into believing.

stopworldcontrol.com/endhumanity

Do not let the film (or anything on such sites as Stop World Control) frighten you because your future is not dependent on your ability to defeat the beasts or escape the son of perdition or anything you can do.  Your eternal future depends wholly on Christ if you are already in Him, and your ephemeral experiences between now and the start of your eternity depend to a significant degree on how much you actually do trust God.  So, as I have been repeating for many posts now, and am completely unashamed to say it again and again, with regards to your future do not trust any man, even if he appears to be walking righteously, not Sorensen nor me, not any politician nor academic, not any religious leader nor pastor nor anyone else, not even family.
 
Walk in the ways of Christ, trust only in God.

A Stump

A stump of a post regarding the coming war to end all wars...
 
Naomi Seibt, sometimes known as "the anti-Greta", is a young, intelligent and insightful woman who has the admiration the world over for her stance against climate alarm idiocy and stupidity.  In any case, I had heard nothing from her for some time now until today.  I had been contemplating the reasons that Russia will, I believe, eventually invade Europe, primarily targeting Germany, especially because there is deeply buried, seething anger at the mass murder of Russians by German forces in the great war.  It is a resentment buried in the Russian culture and one that is unlikely to simply disappear.  Nevertheless, Russians tend to know how to hold their liquor... and the anger will show only when the time is right.  It seems that Germany may be bringing that time closer more rapidly than I had imagined.  Young Naomi had something to say on this issue (and you can be quite sure that she is not the only one)...
 
www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/03/could-germany-start-wwiii-leaked-audio-unveils-military/
 
www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/03/is-russia-blackmailing-germany-official-taurus-leak-narrative/
 
So, if (or perhaps, when) Russia invades Europe, it will not be without cause.  Would the European parliament feign surprise?  Of course!  After all, it is run mostly by a bunch of worthless, spineless, avaricious, cowardly, autocratic, misanthropic, narcissistic, sociopathological control-freaks.  Just like a child caught stealing, they will pretend they did nothing wrong.  Well, boo-hoo, crocodile tears will flow and I could not care less.  I'm troubled only by the (potentially) millions of unwitting souls caught in the disaster not of their own making.  They are the people my heart goes out to.
 
Only God is worthy of our trust, even when things appear to be going badly or, perhaps, especially then.

(Welcome to) the Machine

This is a post about the beasts of revelation but I have given it the title, "The Machine" because, in many respects, the beasts are akin to machines, unconscious automata.  However, first, a little diversion, a brief story.

Many years ago, while in my late twenties, I went on a camping trip with some friends, not all that far away but to the high plains and alpine region of Victoria.  We camped by a river and, on one particular day, we decided to visit one of the local mountains, Mt Buffalo, to walk up to its summit and watch the sun set from there.  After that, we began descending along the path we had come and, as the light faded, thousands of Bogong moths had come out of their hiding places.  I say thousands but really I think it was more like hundreds of thousands.  It was a veritable sea of moths, one could not see more than half a metre ahead and the dimming light of dusk immediately turned into pitch black.  Fortunately, I had brought a flashlight with me so that I could still just make out the path right near my feet.  It was an absolutely astonishing sight!

However, something really struck me about this event, the kind of thing a curious mind notices.  In spite of all the moths flying in all different directions and having no synchonisation of the movements of their wings, there was a loud and unvarying hum, a very distinct low frequency note, heard against a background of a much fainter sound of rushing air, what one would call "white noise".  It was as if there was one giant moth.

It is actually the result of a statistical phenomena, slightly analogous to wind in which, although individual air molecules are all rushing about at incredibly high and highly varied velocities in all directions, an underlying similar bias in the direction of a majority of air molecules combines in the sum of all their motions to create an overall gentle breeze.  A clearly distinct and quite strong note was heard from the mass of moths even though they were not flapping their wings unidirectionally in unison, much like a large number of trumpet players all blowing similar notes and doing so in every conceivable direction.  Since the sounds are pressure waves moving through gas, they each have a temporal component, but the apparent paradox arises as a result of the common note which stands out amidst all the chaos and which also must have a well defined temporal variation to be a note at all.  How can thousands of randomly phased waveforms, despite their similarity, combine to produce a temporally defined pattern?  It seems strange but that is the nature of the summation of a large number of randomly phased and randomly directed, temporally similar energy waves, the well defined note shows up in calculations as a significant statistical artefact amid the randomly combined waveforms.  We do not perceive amplitudes of waves, but we perceive their power, that is, their rate of energy transference.

Now, this phenomena may seem trivial, since it is so commonplace, everywhere we listen and observe, that we tend not to think about it in any real depth, but it gives a rather interesting insight into the phenomenon of the "beasts" of Revelation.

Consider any nation or, more specifically, a human culture, and this principle also applies to any human collective, such as large corporations, oversized governments, etc, but here we will focus on national cultures.  The nature of a culture is that it has traits which result from commonly accepted beliefs and practices and it lacks traits connected to uncommon beliefs and practices even though such beliefs and practices exist within the culture.  The culture's characteristics are essentially statistical artefacts arising from the more widespread tendencies of belief and action.

Now, consider what happens when, despite all the members of a given culture going about their daily lives relatively unsynchronised with each other and doing different things, going to different places, holding many differing views, what happens when there is a view or a practice with a common, dominant (in frequency of occurrence) characteristic, even something seemingly innocuous born of what could rightly be called idolatry?  I should point out that a person's idol is that around which his or her life mostly revolves, the dominant "centre of gravity", especially in one's thought life since action is consequential to thought, and it need not be something a person is conscious of.  We often behave in ways we are not aware of until it is brought to our attention.  If the primary concern of a culture lacking the Spirit of God is money, the earning, saving, investing and aversion to the spending of it, if most of what people in a culture do engages in monetary transactions in spite of such having an apparently low level or background role, something to which we are mostly relatively unconscious, would not the sum effect of their actions result in an overall cultural trait of lusting after wealth in spite of the fact that all the individual actions of individual people are different and seemingly unrelated?  Is it not the case that almost all that we hear about from western governments is "the economy this" and "the economy that" as if there was little or nothing else in the world that mattered?  The Lord warned us specifically on the sin of the love of money for a reason.  He knew it would become an ever greater idol, a means used by the powerful to control the masses, as it already was back in the day.

The result of much economic activity is an unconscious but strong, residual force, like wind, with an overall well-defined characteristic, in this case an unconscious force for the pursuit of monetary gain (although that is not the only evil trait we see) and woe betide anything or anyone which stands in its way as such will be utterly crushed by the sheer weight of millions of tiny actions pressuring motion in an overall dominant direction which, although all of the actions are for many apparently different purposes, all pulling in myriad different directions, their effects mostly tend to cancel in their sum except for the common residual component resulting in one powerfully dominating characteristic.  Such a notion well defines the means by which are manifested the characteristics of a "beast".  It is not a conscious entity, not an individual as many incorrectly posit, it is not "the antichrist" as so many ignorantly declare, though it could well be called a spirit of antichrist, depending on its nature.  It is simply a collective entity with a set of dominant behavioural characteristics defined by the dominant near-unconscious desires of the members of the collective.  With regards to this phenomenon, one cannot point at any one individual and make accusations of an evil nature without being a hypocrite.  The wild and destructive characteristics of the beasts of Revelation are the resultant statistical artefacts of the massive combination of the dominant inclinations of millions of individuals when their moral centre is, for the most part, not anchored in the true Ever Living God.  Naturally, this only grows worse as apostasy takes ever increasing hold on people throughout the world, as the moral centres of rapidly increasing numbers of people deviate ever further from a right focus, God, to a wrong one, money and self.  Our mass media bombards us with this pernicious influence every day, every night, relentlessly promoting every kind of something which, in its background at the very least, if not blatantly, involves monetary transactions.  Not love for your neighbour, not the pursuit of justice and righteousness in accordance with the eternal law, not caring for the downtrodden, not freeing the oppressed, and most definitely not the pursuit of a relationship with God, no, none of that.  Only the pursuit of wealth and pleasure.  Bread and circuses.

The beasts of Revelation are unconscious, collective entities, not unlike monstrous machines, whose heads are the primary governing groups in power and whose bodies are the body politic, and which gain their distinctiveness, their definition, their apparent manifestation into existence by the various statistical artefacts resulting from millions of incremental non-God-centred actions with some similar traits, even though all those actions are largely seemingly unrelated to each other, and the resultant characteristics of the beasts tend to revolve around the common evils of mankind.  It is the more-often-than-not common attributes that give a beast its collective characteristics and it is called a wild beast because it "behaves" in a manner not unlike a mindless, wild beast.  Naturally, in understanding this, we would expect these beasts to wax worse, more powerful and more destructive, as the world mostly moves further away from Christ and the Judeo-Christian basis of our western civilisations and, well, that is exactly what is happening.

We have no need of global conspiracies, even though it is arguable (and I do believe) that such things exist, but it takes a lot of influence to redefine the more common tendencies of entire cultures, the near unconscious thoughts of most, if not all, of the people, thus the need for billionaires, powerful financial corporations and governments driven on by their own lusts, as facilitators of the devil's plan to turn mankind entirely away from God.  The fullness of this scheme will be realised at the appearing on the world stage of the one who, in the holy scripture, is called "that Wicked" and "the son of perdition".  It is already clear to me that the restraint God had on the growing evil in the world is almost entirely lifted, in order to bring about the end of the age.  In this age of the Internet and global social media now controlled almost entirely by a handful of corporations and increasingly constrained and censored by godless government bureaucratic busy-bodies and assorted evolution-deluded NGO's and global organisations, it is no surprise that the evil plan is manifesting at an alarming rate.  Such overwhelming influence would have been nigh on impossible only a few decades ago.

We may have advanced technologically but the world is still mostly bereft of sound morals and, with such technology at its disposal, it will only result in one thing; self annihilation.  Thus the need, according to the Lord's own words, to "cut that time short for the sake of the elect."  Nuclear war is a certainty as far as I can tell, because many in high places would rather unleash it instead of letting go of power.  After all, too many of them are where they are as a result of their pursuit of power over others.  Righteous people do not seek such, but the wicked invariably do.  The righteous seek only to correct that which is unjust.

The only true safety we have is in Christ, and in nothing and nobody else.  Trust God, not man, for goodness sake, not man.  Choose to trust God, and God alone.
