5-25-11, Ellicott's Commentary: Matthew 5:13-14 The Light of the world in its highest or truest sense of the word belongs only to the Lord Jesus Christ (John 1:9; John 8:12). The comparison to the “candle” or “lamp” in Matthew 5:15 indeed shows that even here the disciples are spoken of as shining in the world with a derived brightness flowing to them from the Fount of light: Jesus. John 9:5; Philippians 2:15

Russiagate, Ukraine Hoax, More5-24-22, Harley Schlanger [1] -- The testimony in the trial of Hillary Clinton's attorney Michael Sussman is confirming what intelligent people already knew: the whole Russiagate story was a fabrication based on utter lies. While Donald Trump was a target, due to his professed desire to make peace with Russia the ultimate targets were Russia and Putin, as we now see in the proxy war in Ukraine designed to destroy Russia. schillerinstitute.com/blog/category/harley_schlanger_daily_update/ See ten minute video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSdEEhMAd7w [1] About Harley Schanger: Vice President of the Schiller Institute USA, National Spokesman for Lyndon LaRouche.

5-25-22, Shiller Inst -- Col. Richard Black (ret.), former head of the U.S. Army’s Criminal Law Division at the Pentagon and former Virginia State Senator in an April 26 interview with EIR, stated: “We need to understand the gravity of what we’re doing. Perhaps if it were a matter of life and death for the United States, what happens in Ukraine would be one thing. Certainly, when the Soviet Union put missiles in Cuba that targeted the United States, that was worth taking the risk, because it was right on our border, and it threatened us. It was a battle worth fighting and a risk worth taking. The Russians are in this in exactly the mirror image of that situation, because for them, the life of Russia depends on stopping NATO from advancing further right into Ukraine, right to their borders. They cannot afford not to fight this war. They cannot afford not to win this war… And yet we’re playing this reckless game, toying with this constant escalation in a war that risks the lives of all people in the United States and Western Europe for nothing! Just absolutely for nothing!” More here: schillerinstitute.nationbuilder.com/us_and_european_military_and_security_experts_warn_the_insanity_of_politicians_threatens_nuclear_war
5-24-22, Our Lord Jesus attended public worship on the sabbaths. A woman came to Christ and He relieved her bodily infirmity. If Jesus speaks the word and puts forth His healing power, sinners are set free. This deliverance is often wrought on the Lord's day; and whatever labor tends to put men in the way of receiving the blessing the people see it and know it as they rejoiced. Luke 13:10-17 -- Matthew Henry, https://biblehub.com/commentaries/mhc/luke/13.htm
Imagine the Unimaginable
Meanwhile, left-wing elites will do their best to ignore Supreme Court decisions, illegally cancel student debts and likely by the fall issue more COVID lockdowns. When revolutionaries undermine the system, earn the antipathy of the people, and face looming disaster at the polls, it is then they prove most dangerous — as we shall see over the next few months.

This passage of scripture in Luke 10:17-24 reports the joy Jesus’ seventy disciples felt when they returned after performing many miracles. All our victories over Satan are obtained by power derived from Jesus Christ and He must always have the praise; we must beware of spiritual pride, which has been the destruction of many. Our Lord rejoiced at the prospect of the salvation of many souls and it was fit that particular notice should be taken in that hour of joy as there were few such, so in that hour He rejoiced.

WHO Pandemic Treaty: A power-grabbing act
4-1-22, The World Health Organization (WHO) is determined to stay in power and make its “pandemic leadership” permanent, to the point that it will extend into the health care systems of all member countries of the United Nations (UN). The new pandemic treaty proposed if accepted by enough member countries by 2024 is seen as a direct threat to countries’ sovereignty in making decisions for their citizens. In an interview with Shabnam Palesa Mohamed, a member of the steering committee of the World Council for Health, the treaty gives the WHO “an inordinate amount of power to make decisions in sovereign countries as to how people live and how they deal with pandemics, from lockdowns to mandates over treatment.” In other words, the organization will create a one-size-fits all approach to diseases, without regard for the varying situations in individual countries.

5-22-22, Matthew Henry expounds on Luke 11:27-28: While the scribes and Pharisees despised and blasphemed the discourses of our Lord Jesus, a woman admired them wanting to bless Jesus mother, Mary. Christ led the woman to a higher consideration; that those who are truly blessed of the Lord hear His word, keep it in memory and keep to it as their way and rule.

And that He draws them to Himself through the Good News of Yeshua (Jesus), the Messiah. 5-21-22, Jesus said, ‘TAKE HEED’ – Ellicott’s Commentary: “The oft-repeated scripture warning (Revelation 3:3; 1 Thessalonians 5:2-3; 2 Peter 3:10; Luke 12:35-40) reminds us not only that our Lord Jesus may come unexpectedly, but that He may even come & we'll be unaware. There's one day when He will come & every eye will behold Him. Blessed are they who are ready & watching. However, vigilance is not enough: our ‘garments’ must be kept as sloth & pleasure may tempt the watcher to take rest & sleep. The earnest watcher is clad in the true righteousness of obedience & faith (Philippians 3:9).

Today, Currently Euro News reports that the current drought is so severe it's dried up the Po River. Giancarlo Mantovani, the Director of a consortium that protects the delta’s biodiversity reports that now seawater has been sucked back upstream because the water in the delta is higher than upstream. Therefore, the vacuum left by the lack of river water is being filled by seawater. For farmers it means saltwater seeping into the soil and poisoning crops, which are blackened and wilting. There has been no rain for three months and counting. The source of the problem starts in the Alps, where snowfall is now at its lowest level in over twenty years, measuring fifty percent lower than average... More here
Democrats, Biden and left-wing media ...
How is it that the Lord Jesus is both God and man at the same time? The following scriptures should convince you that Jesus is not half-human and half-devine … HE IS WHOLLY DIVINE AND WHOLLY HUMAN following are substantiating scriptures:
________
Only God can be worshiped; the Lord Jesus was worshiped. During the time of King Herod, when Jesus was born, the Magi came asking: “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We have come to worship Him.” Matthew 2:1-2 And others when He was worshipped here: Matthew 2:11, 9:18, 14:33, 28:9; John 9:38; Luke 24:52; Titus 2:8; Philippians 2:10 The Savior Jesus Christ is THE BIGGEST GREATEST miracle of almighty God that He is Theanthropos, the God-man. He is one eternally divine Person who will forever possess two distinct yet inseparable natures: one divine and one human. Praise His holy name!

And Revelation 12:10-12 says 'a loud voice ... speaking of 'salvation come ... the power of Christ, the rejoicing of Heaven and the woe of Earth.' The power of Jesus Christ is to resurrect and rapture [snatch out] His Body of Christ Church to heaven. Even so, come Lord Jesus. Revelation 22:20
Biden omits the word 'God' from national prayer declaration
5-7-22, NYPOST -- Ole Joe Biden omitted the name of almighty 'GOD' from his remarks in the annual 'NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER' ... first time ever. In his 47 second speech he said: "I want to thank you all for praying for our nation. I join you in these prayers today and everyday. I know how much it matters because I've seen the power of prayer in my own life. Like so many of you, prayer has nourished my soul, delivered strength and hope and guidance when I needed it most and carried me and my family through moments of fathomless grief and despair. It means the world to me to know that there are people across the country who include Jill and me in their prayers and I hope you know that you and your families are in our prayers as well." [Note: Considering he did not invoke the name of almighty 'GOD' in his remarks we can only assume maybe it's not GOD he's praying to. [John 8:44] By contrast, President Trump’s Day of Prayer proclamation mentioned 'GOD' eight times, with three more mentions taken from quotations. Obama found space to mention God twice in his 2016 declaration, while IN 2008 President George W. Bush mentioned God four times. *** Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that YOU will draw the USA people back to You as we repent of our sin. Please dear Lord, give us an honorable president and heal our land. In the precious name of Jesus I pray. Amen *** 2 Chronicles 7:14 We pray God will heal our land; but He has conditions:
5-17-22, Scripture for Today Job 39:1-30: Almighty God inquires concerning several animals humbling Job. In this chapter several animals are spoken of as God challenges Job forcing him to see God is the CREATOR; it's HIS power and beauty in all - as in the feathers of the peacock. All these beautiful references to HIS works, should teach us a right view of the riches of the wisdom of Him Who made and sustains all things. 1 Kings 10:22; 2 Chronicles 9:21
