3-23-23, The Apostle Paul told the Philippians that the persecutions of Christ's believers actually magnify the Lord and embolden the faithful. Paul assures them that - on the contrary - all these things tended to further Christ's gospel.

Israel Nullifies 2005 Disengagement of Samaria

Israel’s Knesset Approved Nullification of the 2005 ‘Disengagement’ of Samaria that Took Place During Ariel Sharon’s Leadership and Withdrawal of all Jews from Gaza

3-20-23, *-- The bill states that the prohibition of Jews entering and staying in areas in northern Samaria, which was first imposed during the 2005 Disengagement from Gaza and northern Samaria, will be lifted. The law will regulate the status of the students of the Homesh Yeshiva and will allow the residents of Homesh and Sa-Nur to reside there in an orderly manner. The law does not apply to the territory of the Gaza Strip that was the major issue of the Disengagement and the forcible removal of all Jews from Gaza.
 
MK Yuli Edelstein said: 
"17 years of attempts, an uncompromising fight and a strong belief in the rightness of the path came together to one moment when the Knesset plenum voted in favor of canceling the Disengagement Law. The State of Israel tonight began its recovery process from the disaster of the expulsion. History has shown, and continues to show us, that whenever we give up parts of our homeland, we will receive increasing terrorism. It is a clear and well-known equation, with results that never change. This is the first and significant step towards a real repair and establishment of Israel in the territories of the homeland that belong to it."

US Opposes Israeli Law Repealing 2005 Disengagement in Samaria
 
3-20-23, JerusalemPost -- The US voiced its opposition to the Knesset’s final vote to repeal the 2005 Disengagement Law in northern Samaria, a move that could pave the way for the reconstruction of the four West Bank settlements that were destroyed there 18 years ago.
 
US Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides told The Jerusalem Post:

​“We have been very clear [that] we oppose the bill that the move ran counter to the understandings worked out in 2004 between the late former prime minister Ariel Sharon and US president George Bush in 2004, prior to Israel’s evacuation of 21 settlements in Gaza and four in northern Samaria.”

Comics, 3-15-23: DEATH OF US DOLLAR?

3/15/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture
3-15-23, * -- “BRICS” is an acronym for Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa; nations who want to free themselves from the dollar-based US hegemony. Currently the dollar may be the ‘world’s reserve currency,’ but chains are made to be broken. The BRICS countries want trade to be more free and fair. They do not wish to be yoked to a slave currency based on debt.
 
The money masters behind our debt currency, the US dollar, are able to counterfeit as much of it as they like in order to further their wealth and power. Citizens are required to pay it all back with interest, which ultimately we cannot do without counterfeiting ourselves and if we tried, we’d be tossed in prison. Even worse, banks are allowed to engage in fractional reserve banking, which means they can loan out money many times what they have on deposit. When their loans and ‘investments’ go bad and they’re on the edge of collapse, those in charge start threatening contagion and economic disaster. The Federal Reserve then steps in to bail out the failed banks. Their managers even get bonuses! The bankers enjoy privatized profits while their losses are socialized. The powerless citizens (seen as suckers by bankers) are forced to pick up the tab by means of inflation and a devalued currency. This is not capitalism!
 
The globalists, who like to call themselves ‘the elite’ have grown fabulously rich and powerful as they stripped US citizens of their hard-earned labor by means of onerous income taxes. 
The elites purchased politicians stripped law abiding US Citizens of our rights and liberties sending many generations of young people to die in their wars designed to bring about world government, which they cynically call ‘our democracy.

​’It’s no wonder the BRICS nations are rebelling. They want to use their own stable currency—one based on commodities. It remains to be seen if all the BRICS countries will implement a commodity-based currency for trade while avoiding such a parallel digital currency, but one thing they have in common is a marked distaste for the global dominance being meted out by the US at the behest of globalist tyrants. Mexico floated the idea of joining BRICS, and they were immediately threatened by military action by some in Congress. They talked about going after Mexico’s drug cartels. Still, the US can’t crush all those wishing to free themselves from the debt dollar. Saudi Arabia and Iran are considering joining BRICS. Even Turkey! These countries are not like Libya and will be far more difficult to crush.
 
The US needs to abandon global empire, close its borders, end the wars, end the Fed, end the IRS, enact term limits to prevent a corrupt Congress, and return sound money and constitutional rights to We The People.

"A Mighty Fortress is Our God!"
John 14:30; 1 John 3:8; 1 Peter 5:8; Ephesians 2:2, 6:12; 
 Psalm 46:1-2
The hymn is here: https://tinyurl.com/3b7mw38w or here https://tinyurl.com/5dttd7r7
Lyrics:

A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;
  1. Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing:
    For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe;
    His craft and pow’r are great, and, armed with cruel hate,
    On earth is not his equal.
  2. Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing,
    Were not the right Man on our side [Jesus], the Man of God’s own choosing:
    Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He;
    Lord Sabaoth, His Name, from age to age the same,
    And He must win the battle.
  3. And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,
    We will not fear for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us;
    The Prince of Darkness
    [Satan] grim, we tremble not for him;
    His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure,
    One little word shall fell him.
  4. That word above all earthly pow’rs, no thanks to them, abideth;
    The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him Who with us sideth;
    Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also;
    The body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still,
    His kingdom is forever.

Scripture for Today, 3-11-23: Facts About Hell

When A Sinner Goes To Hell. . .

3-11-23, * -- The Lord Jesus often preached about Hell for one basic reason: HE DOES NOT WANT US TO GO THERE! He's warning lost unrepentant sinners of this horrible place. And as followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, it is our Christian duty to WARN people about the eternal torments of Hell. [Ezekiel 33:6] Scriptures about Hell follow:
  • “ My people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.” Isaiah 5:13-14
  • "....the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame." Luke 16:22-24
  • "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels. . ." Matthew 25:41
  • "Enter ye in at the straight gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because straight is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." Matthew 7:13-14 “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?  then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.“ Matthew 7:21-23
  • "But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." Matthew 8:12
  • "And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for the to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched." Mark 9:43-44
Picture
THE SUDDENNESS OF HELL
Jesus said in Luke 16:22-23 that the rich man died and was immediately in Hell. He was a non believing, unrepentant sinner, so he went straight to Hell. Hell is filled with people who thought they'd trust Christ to save them someday. Proverbs 27:1 says, "Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth." The rich fool in Luke 12 had big plans for the future, but God said, "Thou Fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee."
​THE SUFFERING OF HELL
Think about the rich man of Luke 16, he was tormented and begged to send someone to warn his family not to come there. You say, "God wouldn't allow such a thing to happen." Sure He will! God allows people to suffer all the time. God allowed Hitler to murder 6,000,000 Jews, Herod to kill the children under two years old (Matthew 2) and currently in the USA God is permitting the slaughter of millions of babies in abortion. If God will allow innocent babies to be murdered, then why wouldn't He allow a Christ rejecting blaspheming sinner to burn in Hell? If you choose to go there you'll remember your spouse and your children. Just as the rich man in Luke 16, you'll remember it all! You'll also remember the chances that you had to be saved and when you REJECTED Jesus Christ as your Savior.
Picture
​THE SHAME OF HELL
Imagine being in Hell for eternity and thinking, "I didn't have to come here! I could have received Christ! Oh, what a fool I was! If only I had not been so selfish and stubborn!” If...if...if...!" That's the shame of Hell: going there when you DON'T HAVE TO GO! People accuse God of being unfair in sending sinners to Hell. However, the decision is YOUR'S, not God's. Because of God’s love [John 3:16] He gave His Only Begotten Son to die as a payment for our sins. If you go to Hell, you will go AGAINST God's will, because God wants you to REPENT and trust Christ to save you ( II Peter 3:9). 
Picture
SALVATION FROM HELL
Isaiah 1:18 says, "Come now, let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." 
All men are sinners and need to be cleansed from sin (Romans 3:23), and that cleansing can only come through the precious Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ (Revelations 1:5; Colossians 1:14).

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." 

Your only way to Heaven is through the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ. John 14:6 and Romans 10:13 says, "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:9 says, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." 

Why not turn to Him right now?
Turn from your sins!
Claim His promises and trust Him to save you while there's still time.
​Tomorrow may be too late.

Picture
3-10-23, Although it's God's gracious method to be patient with sinners, yet He will not always. At length He will not spare those who remain obstinate and refuse to repent. So the apostles, as God's instruments, must prove their tempers and conduct. If they proved themselves not to be reprobates & not disowned by Christ; they ought to know if Christ Jesus was in them, by the indwelling of His Spirit, by His kingdom set up in their hearts.

We must question ourselves; either we are true Christians, or we're deceivers. Unless Christ be in us by His Spirit and power, our faith is dead and we are disapproved by our Judge.

3-3-23, Death “is done away with.” 1 Corinthians 15:26, 32, 55-57; Revelation 20:14, 1:18. Jesus was the 'first fruits' of the resurrection [John 11:25]. If death be an enemy to be destroyed; there's no other way to destroy death except by the Lord God causing resurrection from the dead.

It's the saints' passage to glory - freed from the troubles of this world.

When we stop breathing on this earth, we will remain in the grave under the power of a corporeal death [called 'sleep' Mark 5:39] till the resurrection. Then the saints will be raised, enjoying everlasting life with the Lord Jesus in the utmost happiness. [No more sin, grief, sickness. Revelation 21:4] Although the non-believing unforgiven sinners, when they resurrect, will rise to damnation shame and contempt. They too will always live, though in torment where the worm never dies or the fire quenched. Mark 9:48
