Scripture for Today, 5-25-22: Salt & Light

5/25/2022

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, More

5-24-22, 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/

The West: USA & NATO are Goading Russia
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:

Joe Biden after 10 months: Worst president ever
10-17-21, ReporterNews --The Joe Biden presidency has after 10 months is simply the worst president to date, ... Biden is incompetent, incoherent and frail. Joe Scarborough, liberal MSNBC host sums it up by saying. "Democrats can't protect us across the world. Democrats can't protect our streets, and Democrats can't protect us at the border."

And he is destroying our democracy.

Has there ever been a more cruel, tone-deaf, president?
5-24-22, AmericanThinker -- Those who've known Joe Biden over the years know he's always and only cared about Joe Biden. Anyone who's known him well knows he is not a good man, all of which makes the people who installed him in the office of the president as heartless and power mad as he is. ... He lied when he said that after the assault weapon ban shootings went down. They did not. Joe Biden is the worst president in my lifetime for countless reasons, but his contempt for those of us who revere the Bill of Rights and the Constitution makes him the most dangerous.

Scripture for Today, 5-24-22: People Rejoiced!

5/24/2022

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.

America: the New Low

5/24/2022

Imagine the Unimaginable

5-12-22, Victor Davis Hanson* -- Americans are now entering uncharted, revolutionary territory. They may witness things over the next five months that once would have seemed unimaginable. [..] The traditional bedrocks of the American system are dissolving:

a stable economy
energy independence
vast surpluses of food
hallowed universities
a professional judiciary
law enforcement
a credible criminal justice system

Gas and diesel prices are hitting historic levels. Inflation is at a 40-year high. New cars and homes are unaffordable. The necessary remedy of high interest and tight money will be almost as bad as the disease of hyperinflation. And there is no southern border.

Police are underfunded and increasingly defunded. District attorneys deliberately release violent criminals without charges. (Literally 10,000 people witnessed a deranged man with a knife attack comedian Dave Chappelle on stage at the Hollywood Bowl last week, [1] and the Los Angeles County D.A. refused to press felony charges.) Murder and assault are spiraling. Carjacking and smash-and-grab thefts are now normal big-city events.

Crime is now mostly a political matter. Ideology, race, and politics determine whether the law is even applied. [..]
An illegal leak of a possible impending Supreme Court reversal of Roe v. Wade that would allow state voters to set their own abortion laws has created a national hysteria. Never has a White House tacitly approved mobs of protesters appearing at at Supreme Court justices’ homes to rant and bully them to alter their votes.

There is no free speech anymore on campuses.
Merit is disappearing.
Admissions, hiring, promotion, retention, grading, and advancement are increasingly predicated on mouthing the right orthodoxies or belonging to the proper racial, gender or ethnic category.

When the new campus commissariat finally finishes absorbing the last redoubts in science, math, engineering, medical, and professional schools, America will slide into permanent mediocrity and irreversible declining standards of living.

The common denominator in all of this is ideology overruling empiricism, common sense, and pragmatism. Ruling elites would rather be politically correct failures and unpopular than politically incorrect, successful, and popular. [..]

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.

5-18-22, THECONVERSATION -- In order for new Nato members to be accepted, all 30 existing members have to agree to accept them. However, Turkey president Recep Erdoğan objects to Sweden and Finland joining the alliance. He likens the Scandinavian countries to “guesthouses for terrorists”. For some time Turkey has accused Sweden of giving shelter to supporters of the Turkish cleric Fethullah Gülen who is accused by some critics of being behind a coup to overthrow Erdoğan, which Gülen denies.[..] Turkey maintains an important economic relationship with Russia, relying on Russian natural gas.

FINLAND & SWEDEN SEEKS TO JOIN NATO
5-23-22, TASS -- Recently the ambassadors of Finland and Sweden officially delivered to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg the applications for their countries to join NATO.

Scripture for Today, 5-23-22: Names in Heaven!

5/23/2022

5-23-22, Matthew Henry shares important truth about joy over accomplishments. 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.

USA Sovereignty at Risk?

BIDEN ENEMY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
The WHO Plans to Strip 194 Nations, and the US, of Sovereignty...

4-25-22, IndependentSentinel.com -- The World Health Org, Tedros Ghebreyesus is attempting to push through changes to a pandemic treaty that would give them global control over health worldwide. This helps fulfill some of the goals of the WEF’s Great Reset. It is a massive power grab that takes away a nation’s sovereign rights to determine its own health standards. A decision will be made by vote on May 22-28, 2022 at WHO World Health Assembly. Two-thirds of the USA Senate does not have to vote for it. It’s a rule change, but it’s. devastating one. [..] The Biden administration is actively destroying the Constitution by making us part of a global new world order. “It essentially wipes out 194 nation’s sovereignty,” says investigative reporter James Roguski.

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.

Scripture for Today, 5-22-22: Blessed Obedient Believers

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.

Italy: Po River Dries Up

5/21/2022

Italy's longest river, fed by melt from the Alps, dries up, threatening agricultural collapse

5-18-22, DailyKos -- The Italian river Po travels 403 miles from the Alps... the water nourishes the agricultural fields that Italians have farmed for thousands of years providing agricultural products for 40% of Italy's GDP. 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

Scripture for Today, 5-20-22: Greatest Miracle? 'JESUS!'

5/20/2022

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:

Jesus is truly God:

Jesus claimed the divine name He said: ‘before Abraham was born, I am!’ (John 8:58, 20:28; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 1:8)
Jesus said: “Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe.” (John 17:21)
He did things that only God can do. (Mark 2:1–12; Luke 7:48–50)
He never abrogated His divine nature. (Luke 6:5, 8)
“there is one God, the Father, from Whom are all things and for Whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through Whom are all things and through Whom we exist.” (1 Corinthians 8:6)
“To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ." (2 Peter 1:1)
“For in Him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily. and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority.“ (Colossians 2:9-10)
“For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:5)
Jesus has 'God's finger' Luke 11:20

Jesus truly human:

“Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:" (1 John 4:2–3; Romans 1:2-4)
Jesus also displayed the weaknesses and vulnerabilities common to humanity. (Luke 19:41; John 19:28)
Jesus is the second Person of the Trinity taking on human flesh. (Luke 1:35; Hebrews 1:5)
The apostle Paul wrote, “For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:5)
God the Son became a man. (John 1:1, 14)
He had to be both God & man. “He had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that He might make atonement for the sins of the people.” (Hebrews 2:17)
The Son of God took on human flesh to provide redemption to those under the law. (Galatians 4:4–5)

________
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!

Scripture for Today: Death?

5/19/2022

What did the Lord Jesus mean when He said: “some who are standing here will not taste death?”

5-19-22, The context of the Lord Jesus promise 'not see death' indicates that He was referring to His transfiguration. [Matthew 17:1-8, Mark 9:2-8, and Luke 9:28-36] About a week after Jesus told His disciples that He would be killed and be raised to life (Luke 9:22), He took Peter, James and John up a mountain to pray. While praying His personal appearance was changed into a glorified form. His clothing became dazzling white with Moses and Elijah appearing talking with Jesus. The three disciples: Peter, James & John saw Christ as He really is -- the King of Heaven. The disciples were dumbstruck in fear at the sight and "fell on their faces." [Matthew 17:6] The purpose of the transfiguration of Christ into at least a part of His heavenly glory was so His “inner circle” would gain a greater understanding of Who Jesus was. Christ underwent a dramatic change in appearance in order that the disciples could behold Him in His glory.

The disciples, would not see [taste] Jesus' death until they saw Him in power and glory. They had only known Him in His human body, now had a greater realization and understanding of the deity of Christ, though they could not fully comprehend it. Seeing the Lord in glorified 'POWER' gave them the reassurance they needed after hearing the shocking news of His coming death.

Therefore, the proper interpretation of His promise – ‘some would not see death’ in Matthew 16:28; Mark 9:1; Luke 9:27 is a reference to the Lord's transfiguration, which "some" of the disciples would witness exactly as Jesus predicted. More here:

Russia vs Ukraine Lies??

5/19/2022

The 16 Biggest Lies the U.S. Government Tells America About the Ukraine War

5-18-22, * -- In any war, the first casualty is truth; the seven biggest lies follow:

1. “Ukraine is a democracy” - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky banned all opposition parties and banned the use of Russian as a second state language. Why did he violate his 2019 campaign promise to stop the genocidal killing of thousands in Donbas, even though they voted for him?
2. “National sovereignty is sacred” - When Ukraine perpetrated genocide in Donbas and planned to escalate, Russia stopped it. Given Ukraine’s genocide of a national minority, Ukraine’s sovereignty should not be respected.
3. “Putin is a war criminal” - If Putin is a war criminal for causing the deaths of civilians, what do we call Ukraine killing 10,000 civilians in Donbas since 2014? Is anyone calling Zelensky a war criminal? Apparently the U.S. wants this war to continue to the last Ukrainian. The plan of the Rand Corporation is to “quagmire” Russia just like the U.S. bankrupted the USSR by starting the al-Qaeda opposition in Afghanistan.
4. “The world condemns Russia’s invasion” - Actually most of the world does not condemn Russia including China, India, most of Africa, Israel, half of Latin America and many other countries. The two largest political parties in Russia do not oppose Russia’s intervention, the second largest party being the Communist Party.
5. “Putin has threatened to use nuclear weapons” - Russia has the same policy as the U.S. On March 22, 2022 Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia would only use nuclear weapons if its very existence were threatened. Russia had a “no first use” policy until the U.S. refused to do the same, so Russia dropped it. U.S. presidents have threatened to use nuclear weapons several times since the end of WWII against countries not a threat to the U.S.

6. “With his back against the wall, Putin will resort to chemical warfare, just like in Syria” - Russia did not use chemical weapons in Syria. If anyone has their back against the wall, it’s the Ukrainians and neo-Nazis who are trained in false-flag tactics by the CIA. Like in Syria, the U.S. media are falsely blaming the Russians with no evidence whatsoever. Like in Syria, any chemicals released in Ukraine will probably be the work of opponents of Russia to blame Russia.
7. “Russia is targeting civilians in Ukraine” - According to Newsweek, “Putin is not intentionally attacking civilians…Over the course of almost four weeks, missiles fired at Kyiv have been scarce…The destruction is only a small fraction of what is possible.” The alleged massacre of civilians in Bucha, prompting Biden to accuse Putin of war crimes, was perpetrated by Ukrainians who were “cleansing” the town of presumed collaborators after Russian troops had left days before.

The U.S. and NATO are threatening the planet, not Russia. See full list of sixteen here:

The Abbott plant in Michigan spent billions buying back its own stock, however apparently it failed to make necessary repairs.

Therefore, the FDA closure of the ABBOTT plant in February 2022 substantially contributed the national shortage of infant formula. More here:

Ole Joe Biden Omits God From Natl Day of Prayer

5/18/2022

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.

Goya Foods Warning of Food Shortage

5/17/2022

CEO of Goya Foods, Robert Unanue Warns of Looming Food Shortage
5-16-22, Goya Foods, CEO Robert Unanue reports that both Ukraine and Russia provide a large percentage of the world's fertilizer and are major producers of the world’s wheat and corn. Together, they account for about 29 percent of global wheat exports, 19 percent of global corn supply and 80 percent of global sunflower oil exports. Moreover, the irrigation systems in southeastern Ukraine have been have been cut off.
The biggest component of the world's food cost is transportation, so ...

... the current war on fossil fuels has made the United States no longer oil independent. [..]
Nitrogen-based fertilizers are made from natural gas, so the war on fossil fuels and energy independence also impacts the cost of fertilizers.

With a food crisis looming, recent strange warehouse and manufacturing plant fires at a multitude of food processing facilities causes great concerns over yet another burden on an already vulnerable food industry. More here at Epoch Times: bit.ly/3Nn7fyg

This 'Experiment Must Stop!'
3-16-22, ShinyObject -- Richard “Rachel” Levine, USA Today’s “Woman of the Year” is a biological man, born Richard Levine. Since 2011 he divorced his wife of whom he has two children and now identifies as a woman. He's also a ‘four-star admiral’ in the US Public Health Service, which is an honorary title; not EARNED. This will probably spoil your LGBTQIA+2S celebration party and dampen your warm and fuzzy feeling because the current hooplaa about men becoming women and vice verse is FAKE. Levine was born a man and is still a biologican man. It’s that pesky XY chromosome thing again as science rules over feelings. Furthermore, the fake “Admiral” is a political appointee, not even a member of the U.S. Armed Forces.

See USA Other Women of the Year here: www.usatoday.com/storytelling/grid/women-of-the-year-2022/

The US Public Health Service is not a military service, in spite of it’s members wearing a uniform similar to that of naval officers and it's not a part of the US Army, (there are no admirals in the US Army) and the Assistant Secretary of Health doesn’t require any military experience just medical and administrative competency. This social experiment where we call men women, believe that small children are to be sexually identified and available, want to abolish fossil fuels without a replacement strategy, children can “choose” their gender identity at 3 or 4 years of age and start conversion therapy, and call abortion life-saving health care needs to end and to end now.
