Scripture for Today, 2-20-20: Futile Wrath of Man

​The Futile Wrath of Man
“Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.”

Picture
Psalm 76:10

2-19-20, Henry Morris, PhD -- One of the most amazing anomalies in human life is the oft-repeated testimony to God’s grace and power unwittingly rendered by men who would dethrone Him if they could. Biblical examples are numerous:
  • Joseph’s brothers hated him and sold him into slavery, but “God meant it unto good . . . to save much people alive” (Genesis 50:20).
  • Haman tried to destroy the Jews in the days of Queen Esther; but instead their leader, Mordecai, was elevated to prime minister, and Haman was hanged upon his own gallows. (Esther 7:10)
  • Daniel’s enemies maneuvered him into the lions’ den, but these enemies themselves were later devoured by the animals, and King Darius decreed “that in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever” (Daniel 6:26).

In the awful hour of Satan and the powers of darkness, Jesus died on the cross, but “having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it” (Colossians 2:15). “Why did the heathen rage? . . . the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.” Their plans turned to frustration and rage because all they could do was “whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done” (Acts 4:25-26, 28).

The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church, and the more His enemies rage, the more will God be glorified. The wrath of man can never prevail against the Lord. In due season it will either be restrained or will be turned into praise, for “we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28).  Source

"God Looked Down on His Newly Created Paradise and said, "I need a caretaker!" So God Made a Farmer -- Paul Harvey
God told Adam to care for the newly created Garden of Eden
​ - he was the first farmer

Genesis 2:15-17, 29; Leviticus 19:23-25; Psalm 85:12; 2 Timothy 2:6

2-19-20, Billionaire Mike Bloomberg Democrat presidential candidate claims he "could teach anybody to be a farmer," even implying that farmers don't have the same level of "skillset" or "gray matter" [brains] as folks in tech jobs. His outrageous, elitist, demeaning and out-of-touch opinions are breath-takingly appalling. Farmers have a vast skill set to do the very necessary and important job feeding America. We sure don't need you, Mr. Bloomberg - a stock broker.

In 1978 at the Super Bowl the late Paul Harvey speech:
 
"So God Made a Farmer"

“And on the 8th day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, "I need a caretaker." So God made a farmer.
 
God said, "I need somebody willing to get up before dawn, milk cows, work all day in the fields, milk cows again, eat supper and then go to town and stay past midnight at a meeting of the school board." So God made a farmer.

"I need somebody with arms strong enough to rustle a calf and yet gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild. Somebody to call hogs, tame cantankerous machinery, come home hungry, have to wait lunch until his wife's done feeding visiting ladies and tell the ladies to be sure and come back real soon -- and mean it." So God made a farmer.

God said, "I need somebody willing to sit up all night with a newborn colt. And watch it die. Then dry his eyes and say, 'Maybe next year.' I need somebody who can shape an ax handle from a persimmon sprout, shoe a horse with a hunk of car tire, who can make harness out of haywire, feed sacks and shoe scraps. And who, planting time and harvest season, will finish his forty-hour week by Tuesday noon, then, pain'n from 'tractor back,' put in another seventy-two hours." So God made a farmer.
​
God had to have somebody willing to ride the ruts at double speed to get the hay in ahead of the rain clouds and yet stop in mid-field and race to help when he sees the first smoke from a neighbor's place. So God made a farmer.
Picture
God said, "I need somebody strong enough to clear trees and heave bails, yet gentle enough to tame lambs and wean pigs and tend the pink-combed pullets, who will stop his mower for an hour to splint the broken leg of a meadow lark. It had to be somebody who'd plow deep and straight and not cut corners.

Somebody to seed, weed, feed, breed and rake and disc and plow and plant and tie the fleece and strain the milk and replenish the self-feeder and finish a hard week's work with a five-mile drive to church.
​
"Somebody who'd bale a family together with the soft strong bonds of sharing, who would laugh and then sigh, and then reply, with smiling eyes, when his son says he wants to spend his life 'doing what dad does.'"

So God made a farmer."

Scripture for Today, 2-18-20: Value of the Elderly

2/18/2020

In Case You Had Any Respect Left for the Elderly … 
Now Academics Want to Label Old Age a Disease
"With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding. With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding."

Job 12:12; Ecclesiastes 1:18

2-17-20, * -- Prominent academics are pushing for the World Health Organization (WHO) to include old age on its list of diseases. They say it will improve old people’s lives – but in reality, it will give everyone the excuse to write them off. Once upon a time growing old possessed the positive connotation of gaining maturity and wisdom. [Ecclesiastes 1:18; Job 12:12] However, too often in current western society rarely is old age assciated with any positive attributes. At best, the elderly are dismissed as out of date and irrelevant people, whose archaic views ought to be ignored. At worst, the elderly are demonized and scapegoated for robbing the young of their future and condemned for being responsible for the environmental crisis facing the world.
 
From thirty prestigious universities like Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Cambridge Imperial and UCL – experts have decided that ageing is no longer a normal feature of life. They want the WHO to classify ageing as a disease. This diseasing of old age represents another blow to the respected status of the elderly.
 
Being a "senior citizen' is already considered to be an unattractive and undesirable stage of life. The call to diagnose ageing as a form of illness will merely enhance its negative image.
Picture
Older people are castigated as far too old-fashioned to offer modern advice to parents struggling to bring up their children. Time and again, experts lecture mothers and fathers not to bring up their offspring in the same way as their parents or grandparents did. [Discipline**] From the perspective of the Western parenting professional, grandparents offer a negative model of child-rearing – a moral contrast to the supposedly up to date parenting promoted by 21st century technocrats. However, God's word has given wisdom to parents of prior generations creating the leaders we have today:
  • Proverbs 13:24. - He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him …
  • Hebrews 12:11. - Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: …
  • Proverbs 23:13-14. - Withhold not correction from the child: for [if] thou beatest him with the rod, he …
  • Ephesians 6:4. - And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the …
Often  the elderly are not simply condemned as the cause of young people’s problems, but as unworthy of the kind of esteem given to other groups in society. In a world where acts of prejudice directed at groups are universally condemned it’s still OK to demonize the elderly; as they ignore the fact that those born in the prior decades built the western nations to it's current successes. If not, who did?

Scripture for Today, 2-17-20: God's Promises & Times

2/17/2020

Almighty God’s Promises to Israel & His Appointed Times
God promised Israel: Deliverance, Salvation as a nation and a World Blessed Through Her
David said, “How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?”​

Picture
Exodus 23:25-31; Psalm 14:7; Genesis 12:2-3; Psalm 13:1

2-17-20, * -- I love the fact that God has appointed times. The problem we have regarding the return of Christ to take us and His second coming is because we fail to understand the sovereignty of God in appointing times. Therefore, because He promised and He's the same yesterday, today and forever; because He does not change - we believe all His promises. Many have already been fulfilled. ONE huge one is that the Savior Jesus came, died, arose from the dead and all who repent and believe on Him will have eternal life with Him. Halleluah! [Isaiah 7:14; 9:6-7; John 3:16; and Galatians 4:4-5]

When Paul was in the city of Athens he said: Acts 17:26 "And He has made from all, from one blood, every nation of men to dwell on the face of the earth. And He has determined their pre-appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings." Also Habakkuk 2:3 "For the vision of yet an appointed time." There is an appointed time. God will do it.  See Galatians 4:1-5

Among all the realities of life, one of our least favorite things for us to do is wait. We often express our excitement about something by saying; I "can't wait" for this or that. Each year many say: "I can't wait for Christmas," or some say "I can't wait to go on vacation." While the expression is one of anticipation and excitement, the truth is, waiting is a part of life including waiting for God's appointed times. “They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength …”  Isaiah 40:31

The word "wait" in Isaiah 40:31 means; to bind together. Solomon painted a good picture for us of what being "bound together" with the Lord looks like; Ecclesiastes 4:12 “Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”

In the depths of despair of King David's cry to the Lord, we see him "binding himself" together with the Lord. [Psalm 13:1] He does so by trusting in God's mercy, rejoicing in God's salvation, singing to the Lord for His wonderful bounty. These are all things that we also can do, as none of them were specific to David's role as King or David or being a Jew. That means as we wait for the prodigals in our lives to come home or our circumstances to change, we too can bind ourselves to the Lord and renew our strength while we wait.  [Isaiah 40:31]

Picture
If we have to wait another day, week, month or year for the Lord's trumpet call we must "bind together" with Him while renewing our strength soaring like an eagle above the difficulties of life, run the race with endurance untangled and unwearied by the weights and temptations that so easily beset us (Hebrews 12:1). We can walk the walk of faith without fainting [Galatians 6:9] because we know that He who promised is faithful and we have bound ourselves together with Him. [Colossians 3:14; Titus 2:11-14] ​While we're waiting, watching and praying ... we can with excitement say:

"I must and can wait for Jesus to come
for His church; we'll  forever be with Him!"

[Ecclesiastes 3:1, 17; John 14:2; Mark 13:33, 37]

Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus! [Revelation 22:20]

Americans convert to Islam after the 9/11? [September 11, 2001]

It is only the media that is controlled by the government that manipulates and gives a wrong message."-- Hussain Shaherwala  
This is totally false! All through history Islam [Muslims] has always been warmongering killers. Peace loving non-Muslims are now deluded as they - with generous hearts - want to help the killers. They blame all sorts of things on the 'reason for their killing.' Remember Obama's gal Marie Harf who said in 2015 they just 'need jobs' others say they need love. Ridiculous.

Week's Update from John Haller
Illinois: Gun & abortion laws, witchcraft and more 

"Our citizenship is in heaven" ... "We are ambassadors for Christ" ... our allegiance is to Christ, the King of the Kingdom of God); we are "strangers and pilgrims" in a foreign land... Our land is the Kingdom of God." 

Philippians 3:20; 2 Corinthians 5:20; 1 Peter 2:11

​2-16-20, John Haller's weekly update is jam packed with news of the current week's world. He covers the horrific increase in milk toast wishy washy churches who are driving away believers - so many do not teach/preach the truth from the Bible about sin and salvation. Where are they going in search of real spirituality? To Satan worshiping places. He also reports on the USA state of Illinois where they approve killing unborn babies up to and including their full term due date at nine months. Dr Robert M. Grant Jr prays for Illinois much to the discomfort of Illinois law makers John plays video of his prayer.

On Facebook a Lutheran church posted an image of a lantern with the scripture from 1 John 1:5 that God is light and in Him is no darkness. Huge outrage ensued calling the message racist!! Much more ...

God wants us to play active roles in not only seeking Him, but being ambassadors on His behalf to witness to a world that is sitting in the driving seat waiting to see where their chosen vehicle will take them.

The Lord Jesus gave His life in payment for mankind's shortcomings and sin. As believers, we cannot take the road most traveled, but must deliberately guide our steps toward the one less so. Based upon our faith in Him, we pray that our journey contains safety, peace and rest in the eternal Light of our Heavenly Father. ​1 John 1:5

"Five Secular Reasons for America to Reverse the Abortion Law
"For the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it."  .. "​And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire [sacrifice] to Molech." ...

​America is guilty too!


Pastor Steve leads a Biblical tour group to pray and break the curse of abortion at the Valley of Hinnom (or Gehenna in Hebrew), literally the name for "HELL" according to the New Testament. This was the place of burning babies. 

Sacrificing Children to Satan [Molech]
"For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people. 30Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God."

Worldwide in 2019 Abortion Was the Leading Cause of Death
12-31-19, LifeNews.com -- An estimated 61 million unborn babies have been killed in abortions in the U.S. since Roe v. Wade law was passed in 1973. In January 2020 pro-life advocates will gather for the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. to remember the anniversary of that infamous decision and call for restored protections for the unborn.


​The Lord said: "The children of Judah have done evil in my sight: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by My name, to pollute it. And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not. Therefore, behold, the days come, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place. And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away. Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate."

​Senator Amy Klobuchar’s ‘scrappy, happy’ campaign finally clicks
2-12-20, WashExam -- The Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar has sold herself as the pragmatist with a history of winning elections in the politically divided Midwest. Now, she's trying to prove - if given the chance - that she’s someone who can go toe-to-toe with President Trump. "If you're tired of the political noise ... you have a home with me."
Yes, Amy Klobuchar’s New Hampshire surge really was a big surprise
2-12-20, WashPost -- Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) finished third in the New Hampshire primary with roughly 20 percent of the overall vote, vaulting past former vice president Joe Biden and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass). One news talking head suggested a Buttigieg-Klobuchar ticket for the 2020 campaign ...
Amy Klobuchar Might Finally Have Some Momentum
1-29-20, NYMag -- Minnesota Democrat Senator Amy Klobuchar is sensitive to the concern that she struggles to win over non white voters — she recently reshuffled her schedule so she could address a Martin Luther King Jr. Day... Like Buttigieg, she speaks often of her ability to win over Donald Trump voters.

Scripture for Today, 2-15-20: Why Hate?

Why the World Hates Christians
Jesus said, “If the world hates you, remember that it hated Me first. Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you, for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets.” Everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution; the world will hate you.

John 15:18; Luke 6:26; 2 Timothy 3:12; 1 John 3:13

1-5-20, * -- It doesn’t matter who you are; if you profess Christ as your Lord and Savior, you will be persecuted. If you feel bad because you have never been persecuted for your faith in Christ, don’t worry it’s coming. When evangelizing we should stand firm and preach the whole truth. It doesn’t take much for you to be hated; some people are cowards they will never preach against sin - they will silently watch people go to Hell. These are the type of people the world likes - those that condone wickedness and never talk about sin or Hell. They are friends of the world. [Luke 6:26] I’ve seen Christians preach on homosexuality in the kindest most loving manner explaining the hope in Christ if the homosexual would repent and trust in Christ alone. Yet, the unbelievers said, “wow Christians are so hateful.” In today’s society if you say nothing and allow someone to go to Hell that's love. If you say in a loving manner that something is a sin and headed for hellfire, that's being hateful. True hate is watching someone who is on their way to eternal pain and torment and saying nothing.

A.W. Tozer once said: “To be right with God has often meant to be in trouble with men.”

Many people sit in churches and all they hear is love, love, love and nothing about sin and repentance. When they go out and find a true believer who explains about salvation thru repentance of sin and faith in Christ; they say, “Jesus preached only about love; you’re wrong!” False converts sitting under a false teacher hate real Christians because the true message has been adulterated causing hate of truth. Following are fourteen reasons why the world hates born again believers in Christ who are also called Evangelicals:
  1. We are not part of their world. John 15:19; 1 Peter 2:9; James 4:4; Psalm 4:3
  2. We follow Christ. John 15: 18; Matthew 10:22, 24:9
  3. The world hates God. We remind them of the God they hate so much. Romans 1:29-30; John 15:21, 25
  4. The darkness always hates the light. John 3:19-21; Matthew 5:14-15
  5. Lost people hate the truth. Romans 1:18; Amos 5:10; Galatians 4:16; John 17:17
  6. They mistake love for hate. Proverbs 12:1, 13:24, 27:5
  7. The world thinks Christians are stupid. 1 Corinthians 1:27
  8. Because of false teachers. Matthew 23:15-16
  9. They want to keep their life of one foot in and one foot out. Luke 14:27-28; Matthew 16:25-26; John 7:7; Ephesians 5:11
  10. Satan has blinded the world. 2 Corinthians 4:4; Ephesians 2:2
  11. They don’t want to be held accountable for their sin. Romans 2:15, 3:23, 14:12
  12. We are foreigners and foreigners are always distrusted & mistreated. Hebrews 13:14; Philippians 3:20
  13. Because of the actions of fake Christians or immature believers. Romans 2:24
  14. Christians are bad for wicked business: clubs, abortion clinics, pornography sites, casinos, prosperity preachers, psychics, all things that are evil. Luke 16:13-14; Acts 16:16-20, 19:24-27
Picture
These days mocking the Lord Jesus using His name in vain and blaspheming Him in movies and in music videos is entertaining to the lost world because they honor their father Satan. [John 8:44] Pray for those who hate and persecute you. [Matthew 5:44] Continue to preach the gospel with patience and love. We love them and don’t want them to suffer the pains of hell; they must repent and trust in Christ alone for salvation. [John 14:6] However, we are not to beat our heads against a wall with an abusive lost person. Jesus said to dust off and move on. [Matthew 10:14-15]

What socialism is — according to Bernie Sanders
2-15-20 --U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders has been calling himself a democratic socialist since the 1960s. Bernie's use of the word "socialist" has attracted both love and ire from the left. His definition of socialism is vague, but is the basis for many peoples' understanding of the concept.
The senator's support for "socialist" policies catapulted him from an obscure senator from Vermont an  admired politician. However, it has also sparked an ideological debate in this country that will likely continue for some time.
The Democratic Socialists of America like him, but they are to his left; clarifying their support for and ideological relationship to him, in 2016 they "made clear that Bernie's New Deal or social democrat program did not fulfill the socialist aim of establishing worker and social ownership of the economy. But in the context of 40 years of oligarchic rule, Sanders' program proved sufficiently radical and inspiring." More here
BERNIE SANDERS IS A COMMUNIST AND AN IGNORAMUS - He's not actually democratic or socialist 
7-15-15, FrontPage -- Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has been getting away for years with describing himself as a socialist, when in reality he is an outright America-hating communist. Just look at his platform that reveals his plan to be hopelessly utopian and insane. It will extinguish freedom and shutter businesses and cause widespread suffering especially among the poor people he claims to want to help.

However, identifying Sanders as a communist can be a risky in modern-day America. The Left supports Bernie and dominates American culture; the word communist itself has become jarring, not because communism is bad, but instead because ignorant American leftists believe communism is good...
...In 1985 he visited Nicaragua to celebrate Daniel Ortega’s sixth anniversary as leader of the Marxist-Leninist Sandinista government. Sanders wrote an open letter to the people of Nicaragua attacking the US President Reagan’s administration, claiming was a puppet of corporate interests, for its anti-Communist activities.  Sanders wrote to Ortega: “In the long run, I am certain that you will win and your heroic revolution ...”
 In the event Vermont’s favorite communist moves into the White House, it seems likely Ortega will at long last accept his comrade’s invitation to the U.S. At that time Bernie Sanders and Daniel Ortega will dance on America’s grave.

Bernie Sanders Lifelong Career Politician
2-18-16, DailyWire -- Bernie Sanders graduated from the University of Chicago. Bernie Sanders was a bum who didn't earn a steady paycheck until he was 40. One of his first government jobs was registering people for food stamps. Desperate, he tried carpentry but could hardly sink a nail. He spent most of his life as an angry radical agitator who never accomplished anything. He tried freelancing for leftist media rags, writing about 'masturbation and rape' and other crudities for $50 a story. He drove around in a rusted-out Bondo covered Volkswagon bug. Friends said he was 'always poor' and his 'electricity was often turned off.'

Sanders took his first bride to live in a maple sugar shack with a dirt floor; she soon left him. Penniless, he went on unemployment...


...Then he had a child without the benefit of marriage. In 1988 he took his current wife, Jane to the Soviet Union on their honeymoon.  
In 1981 he became Mayor of Burlington VT; re-elected three times. Lifelong politician he became a Congressman to US House of Rep in 1990. He became a US Senator in 2007 the only thing those who knew him said he ever seemed good at was ranting about the moral imperative of taking other people’s money.  Now he thinks he deserves and is qualified to run America and the finances of all Americans. He said, "We will raise taxes - yes, we will!"  
The only thing he was good at was talking ... non-stop about Socialism and how the rich were ripping everybody off. The bitter lay-about Sanders once said, "The whole quality of life in America is based on greed. I believe in the redistribution of wealth this nation." ​

Scripture for Today, 2-14-20: Valentines

2/14/2020

Valentine's Day
“Who so findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.” 

Picture
Proverbs 18:22; Matthew 19:4-6; John 13:34; Ephesians 5:25

2-14-20, Henry Morris III -- Embedded in many of our customs and holidays are a mixture of pagan and biblical principles. Saint Valentine’s Day is no exception. Mystery surrounds who Mr. Valentine really was. He was probably a priest martyred in 269 AD at Rome. Among Roman Catholics, he is called the patron saint of affianced couples, beekeepers, epilepsy, fainting, greetings, happy marriages, love, lovers, plague, travelers, and young people. He is one busy (and confused) man!

In the Western world, the emphasis is on human expressions of love and friendship. That is certainly important and, when guided by the biblical principles, a godly ardor worth commemorating.

Here are a few guidelines to remember this season:
  •     “Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good” (Romans 12:9).
  •     “Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart” (2 Timothy 2:22).
  •     “See that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently” (1 Peter 1:22).
  •     “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it” (Ephesians 5:25).
  •     “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares” (Hebrews 13:2).

The objective of every kind of biblical “love” is stated in Paul’s prayer for the Philippian church: “And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ. Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God” (Philippians 1:9). Source

Islamic Leaders aka 'Mullah's' War With Each Other
 “... I set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against them.”

Magog, Meshech, Tubal are all located in what is now modern Sunni Islamic Turkey and Persia is modern day Shitte Islamic Iran. ​Ezekiel 38:2, 5
The beast with seven heads introduced at Revelation 13:1 represents a coalition of Israel enemy Islamic nations. It has authority, power, and a leader called the Caliphate. Erdogan of Turkey has claimed that title. Thus, the wild beast of Revelation 13:2 represents a composite political organization. (Daniel 7:2-8, 17, 23)

2-13-20, * -- Struan Stevenson has laid out a clear-eyed picture of the collapsing Islamic Republic of Iran that is as good as anything you’ll read.

So it’s a civil war within Iran [aka Persia], fought between the different elements of the Islamic ruling classes. Since the spoils of this war will be measured in terms of government posts and bank accounts around the world, it’s a very intense struggle. 

Under the leadership of Iran's President Rouhani, the Islamic Shiite Republic has executed more than four thousand persons, including women and children, thereby making it the leading per capita executioner in the world. Contrary to the myth of Rouhani’s “moderation,” he has made Alireza Avaei the Minister of Justice. Avaei has been singled out as a leading terrorist for his role as the killer of political prisoners in 1988, when more than thirty thousand followers of the MEK opposition movement and their friends were slaughtered.
Someone said: "The regime gave them an economy that's plummeting, a government that has invaded every aspect of their lives, [Revelation 13:17] whether that's your private life, your religious rights, your everything. You've had many celebrities defecting... This is a really strong signal to show that people are no longer buying in."

Although the Iranian people protests have been overwhelmingly peaceful, at least two acts of resistance against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps . The firebombing of the Guards base in Tehran on January 19, 2020 and the following day a similar attack on the Headquarters of State Security Forces in Mashad on Jan. 20, 2020. 

The clock is ticking on the Iranian regime. Any one of several factors could throw the country into turmoil. Khamenei is eighty years old, and his death could be a precipitating event.
Faster, please.

*Excerpted and adapted full original message from Daniel Greenfield here

Could be fulfillment of Book of Daniel where Turkey & Iran go to war: 

Picture
The nations listed in Psalm 83:6-7 - it's clear it's an Islamic coalition that tries to come against Israel.
Possible that - as Iran becomes weaker - Turkey will pounce!! Daniel 8:5-7 speaks of two warring factions one from the west and one from the north doing battle; a goat & a ram -  according to scripture in this battle, the goat wins. ​More here

Candidate Bloomberg Says He Wants to Take Away Americans' Guns
1-3-20, NewAmerican -- billionaire Michael Bloomberg — who himself is protected by armed guards — pretends that his support of gun control is about saving lives, but when confronted with the irrefutable fact that a civilian in a Texas church with his own weapon saved over 200 lives, Bloomberg was forced to reveal his true agenda: disarming the people of the United States; controlling who gets to defend themselves against potential harm. In Michael Bloomberg’s world, he and his fellow elitists will decide who can and cannot possess a firearm, and he has now made it very clear that if you are an “average citizen” you would not make the cut.
Mayor Bloomberg: Breastfeed!!
8-6-12, Reason.com --  New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg cares a whole lot about what you drink. First he acted to take away your 32-ounce Big Gulp and he also wants to take away your baby formula; forcing moms to breastfeed. Nurses in hospitals of New York  will be required to deliver a grim lecture to new Moms who persist on not breastfeeding and why they're making a mistake. If Moms insist, their baby's nourishment will be taken  from its locked location with the staff signing it out, keeping records on distribution and forward the information to the NY health department. It may be easier to get marijuana.
NYC Mayor Bloomberg: 'Government has right to infringe on freedoms'

Can Mike Bloomberg’s Money Buy Him the Democrat Nomination?
1-12-20, NEW YORK — THE SWANKY hotel ballroom was packed with an estimated 1,000 women, carrying glasses of wine and waving campaign signs as they greeted the slight, nerdy-looking 77-year-old as if he were a music legend. "We Like Mike!" they shouted, drowning out the pop music blaring from a sophisticated sound system. So, can Bloomberg just “buy” his way into the election? It’s not quite clear that you can simply spend your way to victory. He's worth nearly $60 billion and isn't afraid to spend it – even if he ends up spending it to elect a Democrat nominee who isn't him. Recently Mike Bloomberg said he would be willing to part with even $1 billion, to elect the eventual Democrat nominee. More here from USNews

Scripture for Today, 2-12-20: Bible Attacked in UK

UK Judge in Anti-Christ Court:
​Bible Is Incompatible with Human Dignity"

"The time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.​"

2 Timothy 3:2-4, 4:2-3; Mark 10:6; Genesis 1:27

2-12-20, * -- In another sign that Britain has officially entered a post-Christian age of barbarism, a judge in the United Kingdom just ruled that belief in the Bible is “incompatible with human dignity.”  Christian Legal Center attorney Michael Phillips noted that this ruling officially excludes Christians from legal protections. 

However, the only reason that “human dignity” exists is that God–the author of the Bible–made man in His image. Without God, there can be no inherent value to human life at all.

The crazy case in the U.K. involved a self-proclaimed “transgender” [homosexual] man who wanted his doctor to refer to using objectively incorrect pronouns of the opposite sex. Citing Genesis 1:27, though, which states the fact that God created people male and female, Dr. David Mackereth refused to play along with the delusion. Of course, Romans 1:27 makes clear that certain truths–the fact:
​
  1. God exists and is the Creator of All
  2. There are men and women nobody needs a Bible to realize that God created people as male and female.
  3. Every strand of DNA testifies to this truth there are differences in the sexes

In his court filings with the Employment Tribunal, Dr. Mackereth said he “holds to the principles of the Great Reformation of the 16th Century including a commitment to the supremacy of the Bible as the infallible, inerrant word of God as his final authority in all matters of faith and practice.”
The good doctor argued that authorities discriminated against him and his religious beliefs. However, the court ruled that “belief in Genesis 1:27, lack of belief in transgenderism and conscientious objection to transgenderism in our judgment are incompatible with human dignity.” (2 Timothy 4:2-3)

The court also claimed that adhering to one’s belief in the Bible would “conflict with the fundamental rights of others, specifically here, transgender individuals.”And so, unable to play along with the patient’s dangerous and objectively false delusion, Dr. Mackereth lost his job at the Dept for Work and Pensions.

The Christian Legal Center that represented Dr. Mackereth warned that the ruling against the Bible and Christians would have “serious ramifications” for Christian professionals and all others.“The judgment dictates the language that professionals must use in the workplace. The ruling contradicts scientific reality and will undermine freedom of speech."

It was not immediately clear whether doctors might also be forced to play along with the dangerous delusions of bulimics and anorexics–potentially even to the point of being forced to provide liposuction. But that would be just as reasonable, or just as ridiculous, depending on one’s views on truth and reality. [..snip]

In 2008 Sweden a court case concluded that God’s Word was a violation of Swedish “hate speech” laws, but at this time it was impractical to ban it.

Today, across the United Kingdom and Sweden, two once-great Christian nations, Christians can be and are being literally arrested and jailed for stating the truth about marriage, sexuality, and gender as revealed in Holy Scripture.

The Apostle Paul described the Tribulation as birth pains. “While people are saying, ‘Peace and safety,’ destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman and they will not escape.” 1 Thessalonians 5:3

This event follows the Rapture and the removal of the Church [1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, 5:9].  The apostle Paul re-emphasizes the absence of the Church from this time period by saying, “For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Matthew 24:9; John 14:6; Revelation 6:12-17, 12:2

​Jesus described the Tribulation using some of the same imagery as Jeremiah 30:7. In Matthew 24:6-8 He stated that the appearance of false Christs, wars, rumors of wars, famines and earthquakes are “the beginning of birth pains.” Jeremiah 30:7 says, “That day is great so that none is like it.” 

This current time in history is unparalleled and fits the prophecy; one point alone ... when in history has the world killed millions of unborn babies lawfully? Gleefully up to and including the natural day of their birth?? They cheered in New York. It's estimated that 61 million babies have been murdered in abortion. 

​On the bright side, the Church tends to grow under persecution. God will not be mocked. And Christ is already victorious. Psalm 110:6

Iowa Caucuses Who Votes, Past Results and Do they Matter?
1-25-16, TheAtlantic -- How did the Iowa caucus—an event where a small number of Iowans gather in homes, schools & civic buildings to support their presidential candidate start in 1840s? How it became such a major political touchstone with a mere 52 delegates? In 1972, state reforms modernized the process and moved the date from May 20 to January 24, making it the first contest in the election. That’s when a campaign worker named Gary Hart convinced Democrat George McGovern to take the state seriously. However, it was Jimmy Carter who revolutionized the role that the Hawkeye State would play in presidential politics. Carter turned the Iowa caucus into a major event in 1976 and thereby demonstrated .how an upstart campaign could turn a victory in this small state into a stepping-stone for gaining national prominence. [Buttigieg anyone?]
Iowa caucus: Do winners of the Iowa caucus become president?
1-6-20, DesMoinesRegister.com -- In 1976 incumbent Republican President Gerald Ford was challenged by former Calif Republican Gov Ronald Reagan. Though Ford narrowly won the Iowa caucus and secured the Republican nomination, he lost the presidency to Georgia Democrat Gov. Jimmy Carter. Carter faced a similar situation four years later as he ran for a second term. Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts challenged Carter in Iowa. Carter won the caucus and the Democratic nomination, then lost the general election to Reagan. The three out of seven candidates who won in Iowa and later won the Republican nomination were George W. Bush in 2000, Bob Dole in 1996 and Gerald Ford in 1976. Every caucus winner since 2000, from Vice President Al Gore to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, has gone on to become the party's general election nominee. Only three have become president: Carter, GW Bush & Obama.

Scripture for Today, 2-11-20: Pride & Body

2/11/2020

We, Being Many = One Body
“For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.”

Picture
Romans 12:4-5

1-22-20, John Morris, PhD -- All too frequently in today’s Christian circles, we place certain individuals and certain gifts on a  pedestal with devastating pride resulting. Pride may be the favorite tool of Satan; it was the reason Satan rebelled and lost his exalted position with God (Isaiah 14:13-14). In the Garden Satan appealed to Eve’s pride (Genesis 3:6) and uses it on us today. Be warned! “God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble” (James 4:6). “Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall” (1 Corinthians 10:12).

Through the Holy Spirit, the Apostle Paul chose to introduce the use of spiritual gifts and unity of the entire body with a warning against pride, admonishing “every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith” (Romans 12:3). His discussion on the many-membered body [Romans 12:4-5] leaves no room for pride; nor does the parallel passage in 1 Corinthians 12:12-31.

Each Christian with gifts for their particular duties form an equally essential part of the whole church body. Since we are all equal in God’s eyes, and all mutually dependent upon one another what room is there for pride? Isaiah 2:12; Psalm 131:1; Matthew 23:12; James 4:6

Paul also points out that each Christian possesses an equally vital connection with Christ. Who are we to tell Christ a part of His body is less valuable than the rest? He is concerned for each one equally.

“For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory?” (1 Corinthians 4:7).  Source

President Truman's Fair Deal of 1949
In the 1948 US Presidential Election and Democrat Harry Truman's historically unexpected victory over Republican Thomas E. Dewey. Truman repeated his social reform proposals to Congress referring to them as the “Fair Deal;” his reclamation program called for expanded public distribution of federally produced electric power and endorsed restrictions on the amount of land an owner could irrigate from federal water projects. Lobbying efforts by privately owned power companies prevented the spread of public utilities. Political pressure and conflicts with the Budget Bureau and the Army Corps of Engineers kept the Bureau of...
 ... Reclamation from enforcing the excess land law. [Wiki 85]
  • Rural electrification and public power were extended.[86]
  • New conservation projects were initiated.[77]
  • Funds for the Tennessee Valley Authority were increased.[77]
  • Funds were provided for western land reclamation.[87]

Scripture for Today, 2-10-20: Good Scorned

Contempt of United States Congress [Democrats]
"Whoso rewards evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house... therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with. He that justifies the wicked, and he that condemns the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD. v8 The prayer of the upright is the Lord's delight."

Picture
Proverbs 17:13-15, 15:8; Psalm 94:21; Exodus 23:7

​2-10-20, * -- [..snip] It's the Democrat Party leadership that's demonstrating contempt for America, Americans, Christians and Christian values, and the good news that is impacting Americans. There's something terribly wrong with the Democrat Party that it cannot - and will not - accept or celebrate what is good in America and for Americans.
  • What's wrong with people having jobs, people coming off of welfare, minorities who so long have been oppressed being employed at the highest rates in history, that the American standard of living is being restored after the middle class was nearly wiped out?
  • What's wrong with applauding and celebrating these accomplishments? 

Evangelist Franklin Graham noticed this as well when he tweeted, “What we saw from President Donald J. Trump’s opposition last night during the State of the Union address felt like a very personal resentment and hatred for the successes of America that had just been spoken of. How could leaders in Congress be so indignant about good news for the people of this country? Why would they not celebrate people seeing increases in their wages, our military being strengthened, a young girl receiving a scholarship, victories in the fight against ISIS, a military hero reunited with his family, a 100-year-old three-war veteran being honored, and other great news? It reveals contempt for the heart of America. What’s wrong with these people? As one senator said, “You can tear up the speech, but you can’t tear up the accomplishments.””
​
In the Holy Bible the Old Testament Prophet Isaiah 5:20 says:
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

I’m not saying that Republicans have a monopoly on what is good and true. They certainly do not and are also part of the problem. The focus on politics in America has resulted in deadly division. All this contempt is destructive. And this division shows more than ever the void of the Lord Jesus Christ in our country—the lack of Light; the recognition of good; the stand against evil, or even understanding what is evil.

The United States of America needs to return to the ancient paths of righteousness:
  • Love for one another
  • Respecting opinions even though we disagree
  • Making the case for what is right and good
  • Calling good, good and evil, evil. Isaiah 5:20

Why did Democrat Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi Tear Up President Trump's State of the Union Speech?
She said: "It was such a dirty speech ..."


2-4-20, Raw Story --  Speaker Nancy Pelosi revealed why she tore up President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address after his 2020 speech.

She said: “It was the courteous thing to do considering the alternative,”... “It was such a dirty speech.” “I felt very liberated last night. If that is what he is going to do, if that is what he is going to say as he’s taking away disability benefits from people on Social Security, or he is dismantling Medicaid, or he is in court trying to undo the pre-existing condition. The list goes on and on. I tried to find one page I could spare that didn’t have a lie on it.” [What a liar she is!-Ed.]  More here from ABC News

Fret Not that the Wicked Prosper in this World
"Righteous are You, O LORD, when I plead before You... Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all the faithless live at ease? v7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for Him; fret not when men prosper in their ways, when they carry out wicked schemes. v11  "I, the LORD, will punish the world for its evil and the wicked for their sin. ... "
Jeremiah 12:1, 30:15; Psalm 37:7; Isaiah 13:11; Ezekiel 24:14
