Senator Rand Paul Recovering from Lung Surgery Needed Because of 2017 Attack8-15-19, Rand & Kelly Paul interview on Fox; seven minute video here
Sen. Rand Paul easing back in public view after lung surgery 8-13-19, LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — U.S. Sen. Rand Paul has started easing back into public activities after his recent lung surgery that sidelined him. The surgery became necessary after he had struggled with what turned out to be a lingering infection in the damaged lung from when in 2017 his neighbor, Rene Boucher tackled him from the behind while he was doing yard work at his Kentucky home. Paul never saw or heard him coming ... he suffered six broken ribs and an infection in his lung. Boucher pleaded guilty to the assault receiving a 30-day prison sentence. Federal prosecutors have appealed, saying 21 months would have been appropriate. Paul sued Boucher and a jury in Bowling Green, Kentucky awarded the senator more than $580,000 in damages and medical expenses. [Boucher no longer lives next door to the Senator.] Rand Paul's Attacker Is Suing Himl 6-28-18, After Paul filed a civil suit against Rene Boucher, who was convicted of assaulting the senator, Boucher’s attorney is seeking to dismiss Paul’s lawsuit. The countersuit cites Paul’s wife Kelley and says the Pauls were in violation of the Rivergreen Homeowners Association’s bylaws as they piled up “unsightly” debris and limbs near Boucher’s property. Court documents during the criminal case claimed Boucher did not like that Paul continually dropped a mound of branches near the line separating their property and at one point poured gasoline on them and set them on fire. Boucher’s lawsuit said Paul violated a clause in the HOA’s bylaws saying “Each owner shall refrain from any act or use of his Lot which could reasonably cause embarrassment...."

Israel spokesman said: "Apparently her hate for Israel overcomes her love for her grandmother!" President Trump suggested Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., may have tried to set up the Israeli government after she backed away from her stated intention to visit her grandmother in the Middle East nation. Israel was very respectful & nice to Rep. Rashida Tlaib, allowing her permission to visit her grandmother.

Zechariah 12:8-9; Genesis 12:3 2-28-18, In December 2017 President Trump announced the USA intention and plans to move the U.S embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem; Israel’s capitol. It has been done with other nations following. [1] Jesus spoke about the timing of 'that day;' He declared that the generation that sees: ‘the fig tree's branch put forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: so likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." [Matthew 24:32-34; 25:46] Many believe that the time frame for a generation is described in Psalm 90:10-12 – seventy to eighty years. The current generation has seen Israel restored [like the budding fig tree] in 1948 [71 yrs] and Jerusalem in 1967. God's mysteries have been sealed since Daniel 12:4, 8-10 ... many have made predictions of the end time scenario that have been incorrect. They have been called false prophets; no they're not. They were just wrong. We can conclude that the Bible interpretation errors of the past may have been caused because God's truths were not yet unsealed as described in Revelation 22:7-10. Therefore, we hope that we NOW have the Word unsealed and are able to better understand God’s holy word that gives us peace. [Psalm 34: 13–15] Daniel told the Lord he didn’t understand and the Lord said: v4" O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. v8 Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.” Daniel 12:4, 8-10 [1] May 14, 2018 US moved embassy a year later...
Guatemala moved it’s embassy to Jerusalem on May 16, 2018; then Paraguay on Mar 31, 2918 and Brazil opened a new trade mission to in Jerusalem.

Israel's Election: Prime Minister Netanyahu's Time Running Out? 8-12-19, Haaretz -- In the upcoming Israel Election #2, Sep 17, 2019 Prime Minister Benjamin Netayahu's historic alliance with the religious right has begun to show cracks. This may be significant enough to deny him another win. For the past 20 years, the pact between Israel’s leader and his religious-fundamentalist allies has been of the utmost mutual benefit. The past blanket support of Haredim / Netanyahu has been looking like a survival pact.

What Is the Bema Judgment Seat of Christ?
“We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what we have done whether good or bad.”
8-13-19, With the death of Christ on the cross and His resurrection - the destiny of all who repent and trust Him as Savior - their eternal destiny has once-and-for-all been settled - their sin has been forgiven and there is no condemnation. (Romans 8:1) The believer’s judgment, with respect to sin, is long past. (2 Corinthians 5:21) In the Bible the word "judgment" is used in two senses:
Unbelievers' judgment and condemnation:
- The Lord Jesus will sit in judgment over the nations according to their deeds. Those who have not followed the Lord Jesus will be consigned to hell. The Great White Throne Judgment is the final judgment of unbelievers from all the ages; they’re judged for their sins and consigned to the lake of fire. (Matthew 25:31–46; Romans 6:23; 1 John 5:11; Revelation 20:11–15)
- All believers will stand before God and be individually judged. (Romans 14:10). The participants in the judgment seat of Christ are members of the New Testament church; people who have repented trusting Christ as Savior and are born again. [John 3:3, 5, 7] God will reward the actions of believers (Psalm 62:12). The rewards are in the form of crowns (2 Timothy 4:7). Jesus said: “For the Son of Man is going to come in His Father's glory with His angels, and then He will reward each person according to what He has done.” (Matthew 16:27; 1 Corinthians 4:2; Ephesians 6:8)
- At the judgment seat of Christ, there will be those who suffer loss; not everyone will receive the same rewards. [2 Timothy 1:8,12] “If anyone's work is burned, they will suffer loss; but they themselves will be saved, yet so as through fire.” (1 Corinthians 3:15) Fire is used in Scripture as a symbol of judgment (Genesis 19:24) and the holiness of God. (Revelation 1:14; Deuteronomy 4:24)
- All who experience the judgment seat of Christ will possess the privileges and honors as children of God. Jesus said He will acknowledge those who have believed in Him before His Father and before the angels. (Matthew 10:32)
Muslim Leader in Israel, Mahmoud Abbas Slips ... he said:
'We are the Canaanites!'
8-12-19, Breaking Israel News -- At a speech in Ramallah, Israel on 8/10/19, Muslim/Arab [Palestinian] President Mahmoud Abbas has perpetuated a myth that is one of the main Palestinian talking points he said: “We will remain in our homeland and the outsiders on this land has no right in this country. The land is for its inhabitants, this land is for the Canaanites who were here 5,000 years ago, and we are the Canaanites.” Quoted in Asharq Al-Awsat. The so called Palestinian leaders - despite its blatant lack of historical veracity - have repeatedly made this claim. Abbas' political position rejecting the US “Deal of the Century,” affirming that no meetings are accepted or attended without the Palestinians’ consent; and that Jerusalem will remain Palestine’s capitol. He urged Palestinians in Gaza Strip to end the division that only serves the enemy, adding that Hamas [Islamic terror group ruling Gaza] and its leaderships are working for the enemy, not for Palestine. [History of the name 'Palestine' here] Dr. Mordechai Kedar, a senior lecturer in the Dept of Arabic at Bar-Ilan University, stated that all Arab peoples first arrived in the land of Judea with the Muslim invasion from the Arab Peninsula in 637 AD.

8-1-19, Spectator.org -- An observer's own racism defines whether he/she are racist. For conservatives, it is not about race; we love Black conservatives as we do White ones. Perhaps the most disgusting piece of FakeNewsmedia is accusing innocent people of bigotry. Republican conservatives love Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina. Not because he is Black, but because he is Tim Scott. We love Ben Carson, Herman Cain, Thomas Sowell, Alan Keyes, Clarence Thomas, Col. Allen West, David Webb, Sheriff David Clarke and — wow is she great! — Candace Owens. Of course white supremacists are racist; just as the bigoted Al Sharptons and Louis Farrakhans are racist ... Black Supremacists. That is what it is. [...snip] In one of this week’s Democrat debates, CNN's Don Lemon asked this question: “What do you say to those Trump voters who prioritize the economy over the president’s bigotry?” That “question” was perhaps the most disgusting piece of Fake Newsmedia bigotry … all week! It is in fact Don Lemon who is bigoted, especially against Blacks with whom he disagrees. It is time to call them out for their racism, for their anti-Semitism, for their anti-Hispanic bigotry, for their pigeonholing all Blacks, all Hispanics & more. It's anti-Semitic to employ, as CNN does, only "Left Jews" as commentators in a country with conservative Jews being banned like Dennis Prager, Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro & more. It's racist to employ exclusively "Left Blacks" in a country that has so many brilliant Black conservatives. [see photo] That's racism and bigotry — manipulating a society into believing stereotypes that all people of a certain race, ethnicity, or religion are in the same camp. They are not. There's no racism like the racism of racism.
The Damage and Affects of Volcanic Ash
Sun, Moon Darkened; Mountains Moved
The Apostle John saw: "the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. v20 And every island fled away and the mountains were not found."
Earthquakes and eruptions go hand in hand
8-12-19, As we attempt to understand and interpret almighty God's mysteries of the end time events; we can logically conclude that the darkening of the moon & sun are being caused by volcanic ash. The world currently has over 50 active volcanoes.
Volcanic ash particles of igneous rock is blown into the air by an erupting volcano. The ash column produced by the eruption of Mount St. Helens Volcano in Washington State USA lifted over 70,000+ feet into space.

In Revelation 6:14, 16:20 it says mountains will be moved.

Hymn: On Eagle's Wings
Christian Hymn Written by Michael Joncas
Lyrics: You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord, who abide in His shadow for life, say to the Lord: "My refuge, my Rock in whom I trust!" Refrain: And He will raise you up on eagles’ wings, bear you on the breath of dawn, make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of His hand. The snare of the fowler will never capture you, and famine will bring you no fear: under His wings your refuge, His faithfulness your shield. | Refrain And for to His angels He's given a command to guard you in all of your ways; upon their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.

Iran Seeks a "Palestinian" State Tehran undermines Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts through military support. Since its establishment in 1979, the Islamic Republic of Iran has become a leading patron of the Palestinian cause.

6-22-19, BusinessInsider -- The Iran deal did not restrict Iran’s ballistic missile program that was not included in Obama's 2015 agreement – its nuclear activities beyond 2025 nor its role in conflicts in Yemen and Syria.

Iran must release those detained on this basis immediately and unconditionally. Two women’s rights defenders, Yasmin Aryani and Monireh Arabshahi, have been detained in the past week and that a third activist, Vida Movahedi has been detained since October 2018; she was sentenced to one year in prison protesting forced veiling [aka hijab head sack].
We Need Criminal and Crazy Control
... Not Gun Control
***
When Cain Killed His Brother Abel With a Rock – God Didn’t Ban Rocks
- Rammed a truck into a crowd – killed 86, injured 458 2016 France
- Set a subway train on fire with gasoline - killed 192, injured 151: 2003 South Korea
- Crashed airplanes into buildings – killed 2,977, injured 6,000 2001 USA
It’s not the purpose of government to control weapons, but to control criminals.
A moral society locks up dangerous people while a progressive society locks up everyone.
- When we fail to lock up criminals, society becomes a “prison.”
- When we don’t institutionalize the insane, then society becomes the insane asylum.
- When we don’t stop foreign gangs and terrorists from entering our country, then we wake up to realize that we are living in El Salvador, Mexico, Pakistan or Iraq.
There are two ways to cope with mass shootings and killings:
1.We can work to turn our societies into giant prisons in the hopes of impeding that 0.1% of the population that is inclined to violence and murder
2.We can get rid of that 0.1% and actually have a free and safe society
We’ve tried turning our country into a giant prison while failing to protect our borders, crack down on gangs or stop the psychos. Murder thrives under leftist governments, whether in Venezuela or Chicago. And the experiment has devastated virtually every major city, cost tens of thousands of lives, made flying miserable and brought our country to the brink of destruction.
Maybe we ought to try common sense; if we want to stop mass killings, we’ve got to restore a moral society based on individual responsibility. Either we control the criminals or we lose all control over our own lives.
If we want to stop killings, mass or singular, we have to drive our own Cains out of our civilization; or reconcile ourselves to living in a society where Cain has a gun and Abel is always on the run.

The Last Days According to Everyone
“Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure.’”
8-9-19, * -- Every religion and/or belief system in the current world has some view, position, or opinion about what they consider the ‘end-times’ or the ‘last days.’ Islam of Turkey & Persia [Iran] predicts that the end will come when the ‘Mahdi’ returns. Jews are looking for the first coming of their Messiah and Christians believe Jesus Christ is the Messiah looking for His return when He will bring judgment to the wicked blaspheming world. The world’s theists, skeptics & some scientists too are a ‘religion’ who posit that the world is overdue for an occurrence such as a meteor, super volcano, global weather extreme, or other cataclysmic earth-ending events will happen.

- Islam has 56 minor signs of the end of the world. The most damning against it as a viable eschatology is that of Isa (Islam’s Jesus) return prior to the Mahdi.

Gracious Strength
“Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.”
8-9-19, Henry Morris, PhD -- As with so many other character attributes, a Christian cannot measure strength as the world does. True strength is not military might or athletic skill or purchasing power. “For . . . not many mighty . . . are called: But God hath chosen . . . the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty.” (1 Corinthians 1:26-27)
A Christian is strong when he or she is a person of gracious character, strong in the grace manifested by Christ in word and deed. The Lord Jesus told the apostle Paul, “My strength is made perfect in weakness.”(2 Corinthians 12:9) Paul then prayed that we would also be “strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness.” (Colossians 1:11) How does one acquire such strength in grace?
- It's by the working of the indwelling Holy Spirit in the believer’s life--“strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man [person].” (Ephesians 3:16)
- It's by spending times of quietness before the Lord in prayer and study. “Their strength is to sit still. . . . in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength.” (Isaiah 30:7, 15)
Not by human efforts frantically trying to acquire the power one needs to accomplish a task or to reach a goal; in the end that will be futile. “They that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength.” (Isaiah 40:31, 41:12 )
In Nehemiah we see that after the people spent a day before the Lord and His written Word they were assured that “the joy of the LORD is your strength.” (Nehemiah 8:10) “Blessed is the man whose strength is in Thee.” (Psalm 84:5). Source
Another Killing in America By Person Who Shouldn't Even BE HERE!!
Sean Buchanan Killed by Salvadorian Illegal
Mr Buchanan was riding his motorcycle on Highway 83 when Colorado State Patrol troopers said Valente's truck swerved into his lane and killed him. Those who know the illegal migrant from El Salvador reports: "This family deserves to know who they’re dealing with; Valiente is an alcoholic and an abuser."
According to Valiente's court records, Colorado State Patrol charges for reckless endangerment in 2011 in Douglas County and domestic violence in 2016 in El Paso County; both cases were dismissed by the District Attorneys Offices. In 2018, he plead guilty to a 2017 charge of driving under the influence and his license was revoked. One day before he drove again killing Mr Buchanan, on 8-2-19, his probation for that DUI was extended because he had not completed alcohol therapy and community service.
Valiente was not arrested; he was taken to the hospital. People who know him are concerned he will escape justice. More here

Wickedness: World Wide Terror
“The wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. v9 Man's heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked: who can know it?"
8-5-19, Mankind's wickedness is increasing worldwide. Many of God's children have chosen the Devil as their father [John 8:44]. Some are so depraved they murder and kill innocent people. We see a distinct difference between tolerance and the lunacy of political correctness and head-in-the-sand ignoring the reality that is working to destroy many western nations. Many who do not honor and follow God's precepts attack guns instead of the wicked person using the weapon that can defend as well as do harm. Currently a multitude of terrorist acts are performed by Muslim Jihadists.
If the latest batch of beheadings, murders, rapes, tortures of non Muslims are any proof; and its been ongoing for 1,400 years ... Islamic terror hordes have not changed. The killers have been emboldened by the world's nation leaders who pander and protect them - history proves they have not changed as follows:
• In 1571 A.D., the Muslim Army/Navy was defeated by the Italians and Austrians as they tried to cross the Mediterranean to Attack Southern Europe
In the modern world the barbarians are again at the gates and are being welcomed into nations who attempt to show love and kindness to a so called ‘oppressed’ and suffering people. Following is a compilation of actual events perpetrated and carried out by Jihadist Muslim males; attacks since 1968:
1. In 1968, Robert Kennedy was shot and killed
2. In 1972:
a. at the Munich Olympics, Israeli Athletes were kidnapped and massacred
b. Commercial passenger jet Pan Am 747 was Hijacked, diverted to Cairo Egypt & after Landing destroyed
3. In 1973, a Pan Am 707 was Destroyed in Rome With 33 People Killed grenades
4. In 1979, the United States Embassy in Iran was taken over
5. In the 1980’s a number of Americans were Kidnapped in Lebanon
6. In 1983, the United States Marine Barracks in Beirut was Blown up

Jezebel's War With America:
The Plot to Destroy the United States
***
"We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked."
8-9-19, In America more and more wicked women are ruling from Washington ... example: Mrs Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, the two new Muslim women Omar & Tlaib the New Yorker Alexandria Cortez so many more.
God's word tells us we do not war after flesh and blood but against spiritual wickedness in high places. This should be 101 for the majority of Christians; many fall victim because they have not been equipped to do battle in spiritual warfare.
The spirit of Jezebel is alive and thriving working to promote wickedness in the USA. When truth and righteousness are proclaimed the minister the Spirit of Jezebel appears just like it did for Elijah - 1 Kings 19:1
- Jezebel tried to destroy the prophet Elijah's reputation
- Jezebel Brings In With Her the Spirit of hate / slander / accusation / backbiting
- The spirit of Jezebel tries to use discouragement of scorn and scoffing
- It is the spirit of manipulation
- It operates through America's liberal leftist leaders who are attempting [and in many cases succeeding] to accomplish the following:
- Through sexual immorality, abortion, radical feminism and even the fascination with witchcraft and sorcery
- Causing no modesty and more and more sexual immorality as girls/women's restrooms and locker rooms open to boys/men
- A collision course with President Donald Trump as he's maligned being falsely accused attacked
- It operates through America's liberal leftist leaders who are attempting [and in many cases succeeding] to accomplish the following:
According to the Bible, Jezebel was also a seductress, and today, there is an epidemic of sexual seduction through sex outside of marriage, homosexuality, pornography and scorn of those who endorse traditional God honored ideologies of man & woman marriage. No generation before ours had to deal with:
- internet websites devoted to helping you find your adulterous partner [Ashley Madison]
- elementary school children being exposed to homosexuality & pornography
- the legal murder of babies born alive in abortion
- the demand that hard working people support lazy able bodied people who do not work [2 Thessalonians 3:10]
"Is it any coincidence that, today, with the rise of radical feminism, we also see the rise of witchcraft, with some of these witches trying to put hexes on the 'patriarchy'? Is this not the spirit of Jezebel at work again? And it just a coincidence that, as of this writing, 6 out of the 10 most-read books on Amazon are Harry Potter titles? As 'innocent' as these books may be, they are still books glorifying sorcery and wizardry, with children as their target audience. Soon after the Democrat debates, Breitbart reported that "'Witches' for Marianne Williamson Launch 'Occult Task Force. Need I say more?"
God will not be mocked, America is due for judgment just like Sodom & Gomorrah was:
Genesis 6:5,11,12; Isaiah 3:9; Matthew 24:37-39 ; Galatians 6:7;2 Peter 2:4-6 ; Jude 1:7

Lessons for America From India's War Against Muslim Illegal Migrants
***
India’s 2,582 mile border with Bangladesh is even longer than America’s 1,954 mile border with Mexico
12-20-10, An 8-foot-high, double-walled, barbed-wire fence menaces the border between Sutia, India and Dhannokulla, Bangladesh.
***
8-1-19, * -- India and Bangladesh are divided not only by a border, but by religion. India has an 80% Hindu majority and a rising 13% Muslim minority. Bangladesh has a 90% Muslim majority. And the tide of Muslim migration from Bangladesh to India is rising.
India has spent decades building fences, topping them with barbed wire, and installing lights. The lights are there so that the guards can see. Unlike America, there are guards, they have guns and they shoot.
What makes America’s border different from those of so many other nations isn’t the lack of fencing. Smugglers, traffickers and assorted criminals can often find weak points in any security setup. In most countries, the defense of the border is seen as a national security issue backed by real firepower.
America’s Border Patrol has less than 20,000 people; India’s Border Security Force has 257,363 people. It’s a paramilitary organization with an intelligence network, ten artillery units, air and marine wings, canine and even camel units. And India's guard's weapons aren’t just there for show.
In over a decade over 1,000 illegal infiltrators have been killed trying to enter India from Bangladesh.
[..snip] India’s National Register of Citizens is being used to clarify who belongs in the country and who doesn’t. Those who are unable to prove their citizenship potentially face the Foreigners’ Tribunals, courts that ask the accused to prove their citizenship. If the illegals fail to do so, they can be sent to prison and then deported. If they try to dodge the courts, the machinery of the system will move forward anyway.
India is also moving against the 40,000 strong Rohingya illegal Muslim population which have been a problem in that country, as well as in Myanmar. India is also making it clear that it will respect legitimate refugees by providing sanctuary to Hindu and Buddhist refugees fleeing Islamic violence.
There are important lessons from India's effort for the United States in our immigration challenges.
India’s Modi has been dubbed a natural counterpart to President Trump. Under Modi, the BJP understood that it had to run on migration issues to gain political sanction for a crackdown. Popular support from Indians allowed the government to ignore protests by leftist activist groups like Amnesty and Human Rights Watch, the domestic opposition and even the United Nations.
India understood that border security alone would never be enough. Not unless the illegal infiltrators were made to understand that there was no future for them even if they did make it across the border.
Building a border wall is a partial answer. But the real answer lies in using military force to secure the border, ending the processing of asylum requests, and distinguishing Americans from illegal aliens. India’s example shows that these things can be done. And if India can do them, America certainly can. That winning argument in India, is a winning argument in America.

6-25-19, Under direction from the White House, the Transportation Security Administration [TSA] plans to divert more than 600 workers from airport security to enforce immigration laws along the southern border. WashPost
5-15-19, Fox News - TSA deploying hundreds of officials to southern border to combat flood of illegal migrants. U.S. Customs and Border Protection said it apprehended or turned away more than 109,000 migrants attempting to cross the border in April 2019. Two consecutive months the number has topped 100,000 and averaged more than 3,000 daily apprehensions.
Wrath of God
“Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.” v18“The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men.” v6 “Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.”
v16 “Hide us from the wrath of God.”
8-4-19, * -- The word 'wrath' suggests the strongest form of fierce anger or fury. Throughout the Bible’s scriptures we are warned to be aware of God’s wrath. Whether we experience God’s wrath depends solely on us; it’s our choice. Those who do not know God nor obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ will experience His vengeance in flaming fire (2 Thessalonians 1:8, 2:10-12). In Revelation the Apostle John saw many judgments that will greatly affect both mankind and the earth. The angels were told, “Go and pour out the bowls of the wrath of God on the earth.” (Revelation 16:1)
We live in a world filled with wickedness and turmoil ... born again Christians are currently facing tribulation with everyone else; however believers in Christ have His peace [John 16:33] that passes all understanding [Philippians 4:7]. We realize that we cannot trust the media, some churches, the political scene, or our failing culture; but we can trust our Savior. Regardless of the USA’s good economy and successes of President Trump; Americans [especially conservatives] are hounded and abused with dire proclamations of misery and negativity:

- The persecution of conservatives, Christians, President Trump and his family. https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/if-you-want-to-discuss-the-news-without-the-social-media-rage/
A final warning comes from the Apostle Paul in Romans 5:9 “Since, therefore, we have now been justified by His blood, much more shall we be saved by Him from the wrath of God.” If Christ returns today and you haven’t repented and trusted in Him, your time may soon be up. Even so, come Lord Jesus. [Luke 13:3; Revelation 1:3, 22:12, 20]
