The Hearsay Impeachment - Lawyer,  Gregg Jarrett
10-23-19, Fox News -- The Democrat Party has painted itself into a corner promising the American people that they have evidence showing that President Trump has committed multiple impeachable offenses. However, the witnesses they're attempting to use have no first-hand information about the actions that the Democrats cite for the grounds for impeachment. Most of the evidence that these witnesses offer are their own feelings and opinions on hearsay information that they heard through office gossip. The American people must demand an end to the tomfoolery that has consumed those we entrust with our country.

Heaven: What's it like?

Heaven: Will We Recognize Our Loved Ones?
“And it came to pass, that the beggar Lazarus died and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried; in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments seeth Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom.” V12 “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”

Luke 16:22-23; 1 Corinthians 13:12
 
1-11-20, Almighty God’s word, the Holy Bible gives us a glimmer of understanding of what heaven will be like; we know the struggle of sin will be over; “nothing unclean will ever enter it, only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.” (Revelation 21:27) We also know that people in heaven have feelings joy, singing, laughter but no sadness or tears. Revelation 21:4; Luke 6:21
 
If we're born again [John 3:3,7] children of God, we have no fear of the day we stop breathing on this earth. We’ll have eternal life with the Lord Jesus Who has gone to prepare a place for us – Heaven. John 14:3; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17
Picture
Many wonder if we’ll recognize our loved ones in our eternal abode that we call 'Heaven.' Scripture doesn’t explicitly describe how it is in Heaven, the relationships of believers and if we’ll recognize each other. However many scriptures describe facts that are convincing that we will know our loved ones there. The Apostle Paul declared, “Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known” (1 Corinthians 13:12). We’ll also have new healthy bodies. 2 Corinthians 5:1-3
 
The sister of Lazarus [not the beggar Lazarus, Luke 16:22-23], Martha said to the Lord Jesus when her brother died: “I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day." John 11:24. Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.” John 11:25 After Jesus arose from the dead, His disciples were still able to recognize Him and we will be like Jesus*. 1 John 3:2; Matthew 17:2 and equal to the angels. Luke 20:36
 
Among the wonderful promises of the Lord Jesus; #1 of course is the forgiveness of our sin and His guidance to all who honor and obey Him. Then when we stop breathing - we go into the presence of the Lord. Colossians 2:5; Luke 11:28 Hallelujah!

US Voter Machine Hackable: Need Paper Ballots

In the 2018 Election When the Democrats Took Control of the US House of Representatives - computerized voting machines may have been hacked

Picture
Looks like Pelosi and her minions may have fraudulently taken back the house - here
11-22-19, AmerThinker — In essence, widely understood among reasonably sophisticated IT people the security protections in software operated on voting machines throughout the USA had been purposely disabled or ‘un-activated;’ allowing possible penetration of the machines via online access methods. Also mismatches in time-stamped data flows suggest votes were changed.   For example, using open-source “Burp Suite” web-crawling software, the investigators looked into a company that supplies software used at polling locations in Texas and 15 other states.  They found readily accessible information within this company’s website showing purposeful disclosure of passwords by which anyone could log in to databases that include a wide range of voter and precinct and poll-worker information, including voter names, addresses, social security numbers, driver’s license numbers, etc.

Blatant Voter Fraud In Plain Sight In 2018 Mid-Term Elections
​

11-27-18, The United States is currently in a constitutional crisis, and has been for years, over having the dirtiest elections in the world. Of course, there are the usual voter fraud tactics being used such as people voting multiple times in the same election, illegal aliens being allowed to vote, electronic ballots programmed to switch votes for a particular candidate and votes being cast by dead people. Now, we are dealing with local precincts who have elections supervisors who destroy, deliberately hide, and claim to miraculously find literally hundreds of thousands of votes after elections are called. Of course, the main counties involved are the usual dens of corruption that have been at it for decades, namely Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade counties in Florida.
More devastating accessible ‘storyboards’ effectively amount to disclosure of source code for this software (in both IoS and Android form), opening a range of possible nefarious ‘black hat’ hacking and manipulation that can enable, in bottom line terms, control over any and every voting results in America. (..snip)
​A vigorous investigation, exposure and correction would be a monumental republic restoring process.  AG William Barr needs to get on this! If the fraud is as widespread and systemic as many believe - there isn’t going to be a technical fix in time for the 2020 elections. There may in fact be only one solution: 
An American grassroots effort on a scale never before seen to demand that the 2020 election be by paper ballot, counted manually, in all 50 states.

Pelosi forced to send articles of impeachment to Senate or it'll be dismissed
1-10-20, RT.com --  After Republican leadership in the Senate rejected Pelosi's requested conditions and moved to dismiss the charges unless impeach articles sent, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi caved saying they will be transmitted next week. Republicans pointed to the delays as proof the Democrats were not serious and that the entire process was a partisan attempt to overturn the 2016 election. They also pointed to Pelosi holding a vote to approve the trade deal with Mexico and Canada a day after the hoax of impeachment, and inviting Trump to deliver the annual State of the Union address on February 4, 2020 as if nothing had happened.
Why Pelosi stalled for three weeks to send President Trump impeachment articles to the Senate

Dec 19, 2019 · The drama over when Pelosi will send Trump’s impeachment articles to the Senate ... she's stalling because she knows there is no 'there' there! It's a phony political hoax ... so she stalled hoping to pull some magic trick out of the hat preventing his acquittal.

Impeach Barack Obama! U.S. citizens killed in Obama drone strike
3-19-14, On May 22, 2013, the Obama administration "formally acknowledged for the first time that it had killed four American citizens in drone strikes outside the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq"...As LaRouche Democrat and U.S. Senate candidate Ms Kesha Rogers of Texas calls for the impeachment of Democrat President Barack Obama, she lists among her reasons the "assassination" of U.S. citizens.

The Obama White House claims that only American Anwar al-Awlaki was specifically targeted. However, there is no way to verify that, since the deliberations are secret.

Anwar al-Awlaki and Khan were killed in Yemen on Sept. 30, 2011. A March 9, 2013, 
Times news story about the strike said al-Awlaki, a Muslim cleric born in New Mexico, incited and plotted terrorist incidents involving U.S. targets, including lending support via email to Muslim killer Nidal Hasan in 2009 before he killed 13 and wounded more than 30 people at Fort Hood in Texas. Khan, who the story said came from North Carolina, edited the online Islamic al-Qaeda propaganda magazine Inspire that promotes killing and arson wildfires. More here

DEUTERONOMY 4:11, 5:23 "ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness. V23  And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;

NAHUM 1:5-6  The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.  Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him."

Tsunami on Israel's Shores?
5-2-14,  JPost --  Dr Beverly Goodman said, “There will be a tsunami on our shore – the question is when?” Her lab is housed in the Dr. Moses Strauss Dept of Marine Geosciences. The last tsunami recorded off Israel’s shores occurred in 1956, as a result of a large earthquake in Greek waters. While earthquakes stronger than 7.5-magnitude have the potential to cause tsunamis, they can also be caused by underwater landslides.

Extinct volcanoes are coming back to life
​1-2-20, Watchers.news* --  An extinct volcano by definition is a dead volcano, which has not erupted in 1000s of years. It's now obvious that volcanoes are erupting at a faster pace, not only around the ring of fire, but also around the entire globe. Even dormant & extinct volcanoes are becoming active again. An extinct volcano by definition is a dead volcano, which has not erupted in 1000s of years and is not expected to erupt ever again. In other words there's no magmatic, seismic or degassing activity going on. Following are five extincts that are suspicious:
  1. The Bolshaya Udina volcano is located in eastern Russia may be active again and scientists are worried that it could have "catastrophic" consequences1
  2. The Oraefajokull volcano in Iceland has been dormant since its last eruption in 1727-1728 may be waking up2
  3.  Sotarà volcano in Columbia has eruption warning levels and would be first in recorded history3 
  4. Cerro Negro volcano, and Volcán Chiles volcanic complex  are located along the border of Columbia and Ecuador are are  experiencing unrest.4 
  5. California's dormant volcano shows earthquake actovotu on the West Coast — Mammoth Mountain California5 
  6. More importantly, unrest is growing right now among some of the world's Super-volcanoes like Laguna del Maule in Chile and Italy's Campi Flerei -- under the city of Naples. Since 2005, Campi Flegrei has been undergoing what volcanologists call an uplift. Campi Flegrei showing signs of reawakening, Italy6
  7. Toba in Indonesia is showing signs of a possible eruption. People in a state of panic as the ground beneath their homes is becoming hot and emitting steam that smells like sulfur and gas."8
  8. The Seulawah Agam volcano Sumatran seems to be waking up after 170 years of quiet. 
  9. Indonesian volcano: Seulawah Agam and Sinabung9 that had been dormant for about 400 years.

Pakistan's 'Earthquake Island' Has Vanished 
7-11-19, LiveScience -- According to NASA  a mud island that burst from the waters off the coast of Pakistan during the deadly 2013  magnitude 7.7 earthquake and volcano has now disappeared into the sea after another earthquake. The 6-year-old island was the product of a "mud volcano," with boulders and rocks on the surface of the 65 feet high, 295 feet wide and 130 feet long island named Zalzala Koh (which means "Earthquake mountain" in Urdu). Now, satellite images show, it's pretty much gone. Officials report that "Islands produced by mud volcanoes in this region have a history of coming and going."

Big Events in Iraq & Iran
Fear Not
Jesus said, “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.  In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.”

John 14:1-4
​
1-9-10, * -- The recent big drama in Iraq is a game changing event. On Jan 2, 2020 the USA Military eradicated the no.1 master mind of terror in the Middle East and the bitterest enemy of Israel since its RE-birth in 1948 – Iran’s General Qassem Soleimani.
 
Since Soleimani’s death the Iranians have retaliated with a face saving rocket attack on Iraq – killing no one. [Except a commercial Ukraine Airliner with 180 passengers. (1)] Apparently this current round of violence has ended, but a new round of President Trump’s sanctions targeting Iran’s non-oil industries and ruling elites while the U.S. will ratchet up enforcement of existing sanctions. (2) [Sadly dozens of Iranian citizens were killed during a stampede at the burial procession of Soleimani (3).]
 
The Iranian & US fake news media attempted to deceive the world by reporting that there were 80 U.S. casualties in the Iran rocket attack. An hour later, both the U.S. president and the Iranian foreign minister tweeted that there were no American casualties and no additional hostilities planned. In reality, the Iranian strike was far less severe than the one Iran launched last week that started this whole round of escalation.

This isn’t the Ezekiel 38:1 scenario war; it’s different as Iran won’t act alone in the Magog war. I believe for the Magog war to be fulfilled in 2020, either Pres Trump or Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu have to lose in their upcoming elections or the rapture** must take place.  [Israel Election March 2020, US Election November 2020; Proverbs 29:2]

As world events are unfolding and the truth of the Word of God, I’m getting excited understanding the times and the seasons as we keep the faith and occupy until He comes to take us out of here. Hallelujah!

Simple method to check your dogs weight:
Run your hands along his back and sides - if he's proper weight you'll feel the ribs & spine and small amount of fat covering them. Also, at the base of the tail you'll feel a small layer of fat and it is smooth to the touch.

Scripture for Today, 1-8-20: God's Wisdom

1/8/2020

​The Wisdom of God and Leadership
“And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do judgment.” 

Picture
1 Kings 3:28; Proverbs 10:27-29; Ecclesiastes 7:17

10-12-19, Henry Morris, PhD -- Although God’s wisdom is expounded in depth in the Scripture, there are only seven times that the specific phrase “the wisdom of God” is used as such. The above text is indicating that God’s wisdom can actually be manifested in men through divine inspiration. The Persian [current day Iran] king recognized this also in Ezra. “And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God, that is in thine hand, set magistrates and judges . . . all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye them that know them not.” (Ezra 7:25)

Thus, the wisdom of God is always consistent with His laws—that is, with the Scriptures.

The first New Testament reference is from Christ. “Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles” (Luke 11:49). Here the Lord is applying a scriptural principle from 2 Chronicles 36:15-16, in effect calling the Scriptures themselves “the wisdom of God.”

Then three times the Apostle Paul uses the same phrase: “In the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God.”  

Picture
Finally, with God’s wisdom manifested through chosen people of God, we also can preach true wisdom in Christ:
​
“We preach . . . Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.” That is, through both the written word and the living Word, we can proclaim true wisdom. “We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery . . . which God ordained before the world unto our glory.”
1 Corinthians 1:21, 23-24; 2:7
“to the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God.” Ephesians 3:10 "For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:" Romans 1:20  Source

Full Transcript President Trump's Remarks
"Iran appears to be standing down...."
Regarding Iran Military Action and
US Disposal of Iran's General Soleimani

Picture
11:30 am, Wednesday, January 8, 2020
United States White House
Washington DC, USA

President Donald J. Trump:
"As long as I am President of the United States, Iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.

Good morning. I’m pleased to inform you the American people should be extremely grateful and happy that no Americans were harmed in last night’s attack by the Iranian regime. We suffered no casualties, all of our soldiers are safe, and only minimal damage was sustained at our military bases.

​Our great American forces are prepared for anything. Iran appears to be standing down, which is a good thing for all parties concerned and a very good thing for the world.

No American or Iraqi lives were lost because of the precautions taken, the dispersal of forces, and an early warning system that worked very well. I salute the incredible skill and courage of America’s men and women in uniform.

For far too long — all the way back to 1979, to be exact — nations have tolerated Iran’s destructive and destabilizing behavior in the Middle East and beyond. Those days are over. Iran has been the leading sponsor of terrorism, and their pursuit of nuclear weapons threatens the civilized world. We will never let that happen.

Last week, we took decisive action to stop a ruthless terrorist from threatening American lives. At my direction, the United States military eliminated the world’s top terrorist, Qasem Soleimani. As the head of the Quds Force, Soleimani was personally responsible for some of the absolutely worst atrocities.

He trained terrorist armies, including Hezbollah, launching terrorist strikes against civilian targets. He fueled bloody civil wars all across the region. He viciously wounded and murdered thousands of U.S. troops, including the planting of roadside bombs that maim and dismember their victims.

Soleimani directed the recent attacks on U.S. personnel in Iraq that badly wounded four service members and killed one American, and he orchestrated the violent assault on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad. In recent days, he was planning new attacks on American targets, but we stopped him.

Soleimani’s hands were drenched in both American and Iranian blood. He should have been terminated long ago. By removing Soleimani, we have sent a powerful message to terrorists: If you value your own life, you will not threaten the lives of our people.

As we continue to evaluate options in response to Iranian aggression, the United States will immediately impose additional punishing economic sanctions on the Iranian regime. These powerful sanctions will remain until Iran changes its behavior.

In recent months alone, Iran has seized ships in international waters, fired an unprovoked strike on Saudi Arabia, and shot down two U.S. drones.

Iran’s hostilities substantially increased after the foolish Iran nuclear deal was signed in 2013, and they were given $150 billion, not to mention $1.8 billion in cash. Instead of saying “thank you” to the United States, they chanted “death to America.” In fact, they chanted “death to America” the day the agreement was signed.

Then, Iran went on a terror spree, funded by the money from the deal, and created hell in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, and Iraq. The missiles fired last night at us and our allies were paid for with the funds made available by the last administration. The regime also greatly tightened the reins on their own country, even recently killing 1,500 people at the many protests that are taking place all throughout Iran.

The very defective JCPOA expires shortly anyway, and gives Iran a clear and quick path to nuclear breakout. Iran must abandon its nuclear ambitions and end its support for terrorism. The time has come for the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Russia, and China to recognize this reality.

They must now break away from the remnants of the Iran deal -– or JCPOA –- and we must all work together toward making a deal with Iran that makes the world a safer and more peaceful place. We must also make a deal that allows Iran to thrive and prosper, and take advantage of its enormous untapped potential. Iran can be a great country.

Peace and stability cannot prevail in the Middle East as long as Iran continues to foment violence, unrest, hatred, and war. The civilized world must send a clear and unified message to the Iranian regime: Your campaign of terror, murder, mayhem will not be tolerated any longer. It will not be allowed to go forward.

Today, I am going to ask NATO to become much more involved in the Middle East process. Over the last three years, under my leadership, our economy is stronger than ever before and America has achieved energy independence. These historic accompliments [accomplishments] changed our strategic priorities. These are accomplishments that nobody thought were possible. And options in the Middle East became available. We are now the number-one producer of oil and natural gas anywhere in the world. We are independent, and we do not need Middle East oil.

Picture
"The American military has been completely rebuilt under my administration, at a cost of $2.5 trillion. U.S. Armed Forces are stronger than ever before. Our missiles are big, powerful, accurate, lethal, and fast. Under construction are many hypersonic missiles.

The fact that we have this great military and equipment, however, does not mean we have to use it. We do not want to use it. American strength, both military and economic, is the best deterrent.

Three months ago, after destroying 100 percent of ISIS and its territorial caliphate, we killed the savage leader of ISIS, al-Baghdadi, who was responsible for so much death, including the mass beheadings of Christians, Muslims, and all who stood in his way. He was a monster. Al-Baghdadi was trying again to rebuild the ISIS caliphate, and failed.

Tens of thousands of ISIS fighters have been killed or captured during my administration. ISIS is a natural enemy of Iran. The destruction of ISIS is good for Iran, and we should work together on this and other shared priorities.

Finally, to the people and leaders of Iran: We want you to have a future and a great future — one that you deserve, one of prosperity at home, and harmony with the nations of the world. The United States is ready to embrace peace with all who seek it.

I want to thank you, and God bless America.
Thank you very much."

US Officials believe Iran intentionally killed no one
1-8-20, Fox News -- Reportedly Iran fired dozens of missiles aimed at bases in Iraq in retaliation for the American strike that killed Iranian general Qasem Soleimani last week. Iran may have chosen to just send a face saving message rather than take significant enough action to provoke a substantial US military response. Many believe the current action is possibly a signal that the Iranian administration's current desire is to calm tensions. Iranian missiles landed close to the US consulate in Erbil, but didn’t target the consulate itself, though the belief is that they could have...

Obama's Legacy Is Dead and Trump Killed It
5-20-18, RedState -- Obama was a race-baiter ... he spent a decade or more in a church led by a virulent racist and bigot. Throughout his tenure in office, he sought to stoke racial tensions for political goals. Whether it was the “beer summit” or Trayvon Martin or Michael Brown or #BlackLivesMatter, Obama consistently pitted races against each other. [..] World events certainly are not peaceful, but are better than they were in 2016.
Pres Trump has changed the world: 
  • NATO is closer to paying their share in its own defense.
  • The Middle East is adjusting; bringing Israel and some of the Arab nations to a form of cooperation
  • Muslims in Israel "Palestinians" have been relegated to the margin
  • Iran has hit a wall although she was invited to normalcy by Obama
  • North Korea is on the cusp of normalcy

John 14:27; 1 Corinthians 13:11; Philippians 4:7; Colossians 3:15

1-7-20, As we watch the world's terror in the Middle East, Israel, Australia and mayhem in governments ... we just want peace. True peace can only be achieved from within. How? Well, when we're born again in Christ [John 3:3, 7] the holy Spirit dwells within us. The Apostle Paul says that it will go deep into our hearts and minds.

Contrary to the pontificating of liberals and their psychobabble, it isn’t something that can be explained in a self help book or with a few simple steps ... it only comes from God (John 14:27).

Followers of the Lord Jesus Christ - most of us - are at peace. It's not because our surroundings are peaceful, but because our hearts and minds are at peace with God. We are children of the King of Kings [Revelation 17:10-11] and He has everything under control. Whatever the evil world leaders plan ... the Lord is WAY ahead of them. Much of what we see that incomprehensible lunatic leaders contrive may be the result of God's strong delusion. [2 Thess 2:10-12]

​Be at peace.

Dozens arrested for arson as deadly wildfires ravage Australia
1-7-20, Two hundred people arrested for arson in Australia;  85% of bushfires started by humans… most deliberately. The fires are primarily raging in New South Wales, which is home to Sydney and more than seven million people.  The fires have killed 25 people [that's known so far] and destroyed hundreds of millions of animals and livestock, thousands of homes and more than 19 million acres of land. [..] Those charged with arson could face harsh penalties, including manslaughter, which carries a penalty of 25 years in prison. Police in New South Wales have taken legal action against 183+ people for fire-related offenses since early November 2019, including "discarding a lighted cigarette or match on land." More here

Bushfire arson: Why do people deliberately light bushfires?
11-13-19, Australia's most notorious bushfire arsonist is Brendan Sokaluk, a former Victorian Country Fire Authority volunteer, who killed 10 people when he deliberately lit a bushfire on Black Saturday. Sokaluk became one of Victoria's worst killers in 2009 when his fire killed 10 and razed more than 150 homes.

Australian Rainforest burning
9-10-19, Guardian -- In Australia 50% of the Great Barrier Reef, the potential loss of these areas is burning ... there are about 80 fires in Queensland and a further 60 blazes raging through New South Wales. The maps show the east coast terrifyingly lit up like a grotesque Christmas tree. Many of these fires are burning out of control as the relentlessly gusty winds ground the firefighting aircraft needed to bring the blazes under control.

Hero ex-FBI agent who stopped Texas church killing
​
12-30-19, Fox News -- The West Freeway Church of Christ in Hood County Texas was very fortunate that Jack Wilson was in attendance on Dec 30, 2019. Yes, a good guy with a gun put down a killer with a gun. When the gunfire began, Mr. Wilson said initially there were people between him and the shooter who were standing; he wanted to be sure he didn't hit those in the path in front of him; quite a marksman - perfect head shot one bullet.
​Within six seconds, the gunman was down, bleeding "profusely" from his head. Mr Wilson then pulled the shotgun away from the killer's body as he was "twitching" and stood over him in case the shooter tried to get up, which he did not. The 43 yr old killer, Keith Thomas Kinnunen murdered two members of the church Mr Wallace, 64, from Fort Worth and Mr White, 67, from River Oaks. More from Fox News and CNN

Scripture for Today, 1-6-20: Joshua

God Tells His Children to have "Good Courage"
***
Almighty God told Joshua: “Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them"...God told Joshua to fear not when his army was fighting the Amorites. God sent hailstones and the sun stood still.

 Joshua 1:6, 10:1-13

7-29-18, Henry Morris, PhD. -- This admonition to be strong and of “good courage” (Hebrew, amass) is given some ten times in the Old Testament, plus another nine times using a different word (chasaq). The first occurrence of amass is in Deuteronomy 3:28 where it is translated “strengthen:” 

“But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him:
for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause
them to inherit the land which thou shalt see.”


Christians today surely need good courage to face a dangerous world, with all its temptations and intimidations, but nothing today could compare to the challenge facing Joshua. Trying to lead a nondescript multitude of “stiffnecked,” desert nomads into a land of giants and walled cities would surely require courage beyond anything we could imagine. Giants and walled cities are no match for the children of God when He goes with them.

However, Joshua had access to invincible resources and so do we; God said:

“Be strong and of a good courage. Be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed:
for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”
Joshua 1:9; Romans 8:31

God did go with Joshua; the Israelites defeated the giants, destroyed the walled cities and took the land. And we have the same promise today courage is really another name for faith:

“He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, 'The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me'.”  v21“what He had promised, He was able also to perform.” (Hebrews 13:5-6; Romans 4:21) Source

Iran, Libya, Iraq Muslim Terror & Obama

Obama's Benghazi in Baghdad

Picture
1-5-20, * -- Recently US embassy in Iraq was attacked by Iran’s Islamic Shiite members of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), it was a deliberate recreation of the February 1979 attack on our embassy in Tehran Iran that ushered in a new age of Shiite terror, the media was quick to label it 'Trump's Benghazi.' The parallels are certainly there.
 
In both Benghazi and Baghdad, Islamist terror militias who we thought were our allies turned on the United States. In both cases, there was nothing surprising or unexpected about this inevitable development to anyone except foreign policy experts and the media. Obama had helped birth the Islamic State by backing Iran's takeover of Iraq. Forced to fight ISIS, he doubled down on the same strategy. And that completed the takeover.
 
 
And, in both Benghazi and Baghdad, the Obama administration's policy of cultivating Islamic terrorists had come home to roost. The current Islamists who attacked the US embassy in Baghdad were not Trump's allies, but Obama's allies. When in 2011 the head of Badr Brigade of Iraq visited the White House … it was Obama’s not Trump’s. The close IRGC ally was welcomed by Obama, and played a role in the current embassy attack. Trump listed the IRGC, Iran's global terror hub as a terror group - Obama resisted it dating back to his time in the Senate [2005-08].
 
Once in the White House, Obama's policies so empowered and enabled the IRGC that in one of the most infamous incidents in American history, members of the Islamic terror group captured and humiliated American sailors. There is little doubt that the IRGC was the hidden hand behind the embassy attack in Baghdad through its PMF proxies.
 
The rise of ISIS and the attack on our embassy in Baghdad had their roots in Obama's backing for Iraq's Shiite dominated government. [..] Obama wanted to pull out of Iraq as soon as possible. His plan for a quick pullout was to allow Iran a free hand in Baghdad. The Sunni Islam tribal leaders who had made the 'awakening' against Al Qaeda possible were ignored by Obama when they came to D.C. seeking support against Iran.
 
While the media went on touting Obama's incredible successes in Iraq, the country split into two terror camps. While the Popular Mobilization Forces rolled up Shiite areas, Al Qaeda in Iraq reinvented itself as ISIS.
 
Unlike President Trump, Obama chose not to hit ISIS hard. Instead, after Iraq's military collapsed, his administration's anti-ISIS strategy relied heavily on supporting the Shiite PMF militias which included embedded Iranian forces.
 
Iran's takeover of Iraq, like its involvement in Yemen's civil war, in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza [in Israel] were funded by the wages of Obama's nuclear sellout. The billions that Obama directly and indirectly handed to the terrorists of Tehran were used to fund soft and hard influence across the region.
 
The Iran deal didn't just mean that the terror regime was able to continue building up its nuclear program, but that it could increase its financial commitments to the Islamic terror group Hamas [in Gaza], help build up Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen and the PMFs in Iraq. [..]

Hadi al Amiri, who led a pro-Iran siege on the US embassy in Baghdad on Tuesday, 12/31/19 stands behind the sofa wearing a blue tie as part of Maliki's delegation  ... here
***

Under Obama, billions in foreign currency were illegally flown into Iran on unmarked cargo planes, then Pres Trump cut off the cash.
 
The cash crunch not only weakened Iran's regime, where fresh protests arose, but its terror networks, including in Iraq, began facing their own cash shortages. And so Iran's rulers, their IRGC hidden hand, and their Islamist PMF proxies decided to send America and the protesters a message. [..]
 
Who helped build up the Islamic terrorist infrastructure? The Obama administration did. Beyond the cash shipments to Iran and the sanctions relief, the PMFs benefited from US foreign aid directed through Iraq's Interior Ministry. Even as Iraq's Interior Ministry was headed by a Badr leader trained by Iranian forces who had been arrested for smuggling explosives used to attack American soldiers, US foreign aid kept flowing through an Iraqi ministry run by terrorists.


The stated reason the Obama administration was funding Islamic terrorists was to fight terrorism. It was the same disastrous scenario that had led to the 2012 massacre in Benghazi when four Americans were killed when the embassy was taken by Islamic terrorists. Obama's foreign policy operatives and the Dems and liberal Trump hating media have blamed the current 2020 Iraq US embassy attack on Trump's pressure on Iran, rather than on Obama's years of appeasement of Iran.

The Obama administration may be history, but the damage it did still reverberates through the region as the Islamist forces it unleashed continues to tear apart nations and threatens American lives.

How the 1979 Iran Hostage Crisis Became a 14-Month Nightmare
In Nov 1979 Jimmy Carter was the Dem US President; a group of Iranians stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran holding FIFTY-TWO Americans hostage for 444-days.  Carter ordered a military operation involving an elite rescue team that failed when their helicopter crashed into a transport plane, killing eight American servicemen. Amid constant media coverage, Carter’s weakness & failure to resolve the hostage crisis was one of many reasons that Republican Ronald Reagan became the US President causing Carter not to serve a second term. Soon after Reagan's election in Nov 1980, the Iranians agreed to release the Americans just minutes after Reagan delivered his inaugural address on January 20, 1981. Strength works!

Prophecy of Israel - Almighty God said:
​"Behold, I will bring them [Israel] from the north country and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither. ... for I am a Father to Israel. v16 Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded and they shall come again from the land of the enemy. And there is hope in thine end.."

Jeremiah 31:8-9, 16-17

​1-5-20, Today in John Haller's weekly update he gives us a review and report of the first 5 days of the new year 2020 (not the new decade; it starts in 2021). He has accumulated much material approaching this update from a forward-looking stance, focusing heavily on the events that have occurred in the Middle East in just the past few days and some harrowing and terrifying videos from the horrific deadly wildfires in Australia; showing a woman with a waterhose trying to save her house - fire fighters trying to get out of the conflagration. At 4 pm in the afternoon it was dark as night ... people were forcefully warned to get to the water/ the beach as the fire was coming!

The powers are aligning. The stage is being set. It's just a question from where the spark comes. Who knows? It may have already come from the US Reaper Drone at the Baghdad Iraq Airport when the US Military took out the wicked killer from Iran Soleimani...

Peace I Leave with You
The Lord Jesus said: "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Ye have heard how I said unto you, 'I go away, and come again unto you'. If ye loved Me, ye would rejoice, because I said, 'I go unto the Father: for My Father is greater than I.' And now I have told you before it come to pass [prophecy], that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh and hath nothing in Me. But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave Me commandment, even so I do."

Liberal Media Trashed Pres Trump 90% of the Time - But it didn't matter
1-15-19, Newsbusters --  Since January 20, 2017, the Media Research Center [MRC] has analyzed every moment of coverage of President Trump on the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts, seen by approximately 23 million people each night finding that 90% of news coverage on the president had negative tones, with only 10% of coverage having a positive tone. At the midpoint of Pres Trump’s first term, the establishment media’s obvious hostility shows no signs of relenting, but polls show this negative coverage has had no discernible impact on the public’s attitudes toward the President.
Six Corporations Control 90% Of The Media In America

Israel: Abortion Rates on the Decline: 
However, 18,000+ Killed in 2018

Picture
Exodus 1:17

1-2-20, Although abortion has declined in the Jewish state it's still a blot against God's law as it's murder. Over 18,000 human lives were taken in the barbaric and brutal act of aborting human lives from their mother's womb.

The sad news is that legal abortions approved by Israel law in 2018 [the last year for which statistics have been collected] are still being done. The Health Ministry, who is responsible for supervising legal abortion procedures - said in its annual report  - that there were 19,543 applications for abortions in 2018. 

Abortion in Israel is permitted when approved by a committee then the Israeli government will pay for women to kill their unborn children in abortion under one of following clauses:
  1. The woman is younger than 17 years and older than 40
  2. the pregnancy was conceived under illegal circumstances (such as rape or statutory rape) in an incestuous relationship or outside of marriage
  3. the baby may have a physical or mental birth defect
  4. continuing the pregnancy may put the woman’s life in risk or damage her physically or mentally. Under these circumstances, the government has been paying for an abortion in women younger than 33 since 2014.
According to govt data, abortions in Israel are lower than: England (16.2) and the US (13.2). 
Israel's abortion rates rank second lowest out of 28 European countries. The number of illegal abortions in Israel was not estimated in the report. More here

Obama paid Iran $400 million ransom for American hostages
8-2-16, WashingtonTimes -- In January 2016 Obama secretly airlifted $400 million in cash to Iran it the same time the Iranians were finally releasing four jailed Americans, he tried to argue it wasn't ransom. [chuckle] The Wall Street Journal, citing U.S. and European officials and congressional sources, reported that Obama procured the money from central banks in Switzerland and the Netherlands. The cash was stacked on wooden pallets and flown to Tehran in an unmarked cargo plane. The cash was paid in foreign currency because any transaction with Iran in U.S. dollars is illegal under U.S. law.
Obama White House Caught Secretly Airlifting $1.7 Billion US

The truth behind the US-Iran nuclear deal, was as WSJ reports that John Kerry and the Obama ordered $1.7 bn of cash to be airlifted the rogue Islamic terror nation of Iran. Obama claimed the events were separate [$400 mill and $1.3 bill], but acknowledged the cash was used as leverage [aka quid pro quo] for the release of American hostages [aka ransom!]. The remaining $1.3 billion represented interest on Iranian cash the U.S. held since the 1970s. More here from LA Times

Obama's Iran deal falls on ominous Bible date - WND

"King Obama has issued his decree putting the Jewish nation at risk of annihilation on the very same day that King Ahasuerus' scribes came together and issued their statement to the rulers of every people of every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language and sent letters by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day." [..] The outcome may already be written down! The Bible records the Jew hater of the Bible's book of Esther, Haman was hanged on the very scaffold he had prepared for Mordecai, a Jew, and the king dispatched a letter exposing Haman's plot, instructing Jews to defend themselves.

In The World We Will Have Tribulation
Jesus said, “Now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom Thou hast given Me, that they may be one, as we are. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Thy name: those that thou gavest Me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. And now come I to Thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have My joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them Thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that Thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that Thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy word is truth. As Thou hast sent Me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.”

John 17:11-19; Psalm 23:4

Those who are born again Christians should not be fearful as the world reels in despair and turmoil with the newest nasty events in the Middle East. The Islamic terror nation of Iran hates Christians & Jews. Jesus warned us we’d be persecuted – and we are. Be at peace. Colossians 3:15; 1 Peter 5:7

A good inspirational message follows from Ray Stedman.
***


1-3-20, * -- In John 17:11-19 we find the Lord Jesus explaining about the secular world that is organized in its antipathy against God; and the church, the body of Christ, God's family. [Matthew 5:11] He knew that there would be this conflict. He called a group out of the world-- not to be separate from it-- but to be a different group. God always sees humanity divided into two categories. Sometimes they are called two kingdoms-- the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan. Sometimes they're regarded symbolically as two cities-- Jerusalem and Babylon.

Jesus, knowing the danger of the world, prays for His disciples. Pointing out the reason the world hates them/us. Here are men who have learned a source of joy that the world does not know how to produce. The world hates Christians because they have a source of life the world cannot explain or destroy. Satan tries to destroy it through the deceitfulness of the allurements of the world.​
Picture

​Jesus prayed not that the Father take His disciples out of the world; without us intermingling with the lost, the world is left without light-- to remain in Satan’s darkness. On the other hand, our Lord was aware of the need to be kept from the evil one; we must be careful avoiding contamination by the world and all its deadly delusions. 

Our Lord is calling for men and women who, like Himself, can live in the midst of the sin filled world without becoming contaminated by it, instead we are to be a source of light pointing to the only way to be saved; repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. John 14:6
