NASA IS WORRIED ABOUT SPACE JUNK AKA ORBITAL DEBRIS
9-28-18, Currently, there are about 4,000 intact spacecraft living in orbit around Earth, only 1,800 of which are operational. Yet, many companies want to dramatically increase that number. Satellite operators are eager to launch thousands of probes that can beam internet connectivity down to Earth, providing global coverage. SpaceX has filed applications with the FCC to launch nearly 12,000 internet-beaming satellites — first, an initial constellation of 4,425 probes, followed by a constellation of 7,518. Meanwhile, the European company OneWeb received approval to launch up to 720 satellites from the FCC, and it recently requested permission to launch an additional 1,260.

Board games don't just bring us together
11-24-14, Guardian -- With so much concern about screen time, board games are a sociable reminder of the real dynamics of family life but sadly many of today's children have never enjoyed them. Board games teach useful lessons about taking turns and handling defeat. They provide an outlet for tension and rivalry. They require family members to sit down and interact with each other – increasingly important in a world where we spend much of our time in separate rooms, triple-screening and arguing over Skype about whose turn it is to change the toilet roll. But perhaps best of all, they remind us how to play.

War Hawk John Bolton is Fired [finally]
9-13-19, Fox News -- The departure of National Security Adviser John Bolton this week was the culmination of months of conflicts between Bolton and officials at all levels of Pres Trump's administration who were lobbying for his ouster. ... Sec State Mike Pompeo is poised to exert even more influence on foreign policy now that Bolton is gone with the possibility of him assuming the role of national security adviser on top of his current position. This would follow what's called the "Kissinger model" [in reference to when Henry Kissinger served in both roles under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford].

Mark 4:39-41; Matthew 14:22–33
 
12-14-18, BRAD BURTON -- In one of the most frequently repeated scenes in Looney Tunes, a character, often Wile E. Coyote, runs headlong off a cliff and continues running through thin air—until he looks down. Once he realizes the potential danger he is in, he falls with a stupendous crash.

Lord, save me!
 
For Looney Tunes watchers, Peter’s experience of walking on water may seem faintly familiar. As Jesus' disciples were on a boat in the Sea of Galilee, they saw a figure walking toward them. Although they suspected it was a ghost, Jesus assured them it was in fact Him (Matthew 14:26–27). Peter then appeared to have sought proof, saying to Jesus, “Tell me to come to you on the water” (Matthew 14:28). When Jesus did, Peter with boldness climbed over the side and walked toward Him. Unlike Wiley Coyote silly stupidity, Peter’s defiance of physics began not by accident but with an expression of faith. Peter believed in the power of Jesus, who had shown that faith could heal (Matthew 14:9) and would promise that it could even move mountains (Matthew 14:17-20).
 
Yet Peter, like the Coyote, soon realized the potential danger he was in and began to plummet. When a strong wind blew, Peter went from faith to fear and began to sink. Still, his faith did not disappear entirely, for he had enough to cry out to Jesus for help: “Lord, save me!”  and Jesus did not hesitate to save. He reached out “immediately” (Matthew 14:30-31).
 
At times born again Christians will find themselves in situations of danger or distress. However, we can enter into them with the faith that enables us to walk through the seemingly impossible with boldness and faith - whether good or bad the Lord Jesus will sustain us.
 
The classic hymn “How Firm a Foundation” depicts God promising: “When through deep waters I call thee to go, the rivers of sorrow shall not overflow; for I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless, and sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.”

We need to pray for the faith that all distresses will serve God’s purposes and trust in His power to bolster our courage and give us His peace.

9-12-19, Canada Free Press -- Democrat presidential hopefuls, formerly described as the ‘Bus Full of Crazies’ in this third primary debate, went all-out for the jugular—each other’s. Their mantra is all about President Trump being a racist, 'free stuff for the masses' they basically want a complete government takeover of:

• health care
• open borders for illegal migrants
• open borders for child traffickers, rapists and murderers
• radical gun control measures leaving guns available only to criminals
• government becoming wholly liberal socialist [..snip] 

We won’t bore you with the he-said-she-said routine while Drudge is already doing that, other than to ask why sleepy Joe Biden’s failing memory should be of such concern when mental health as a factor in recent shooting sprees is all but totally ignored by mainstream and social media as they scream to take weapons away from law abiding sane citizens.

The Race Card was once again the big star of the debate with Julian Castro, Beto O’Rourke and Kamala Harris each linking Trump to last month’s mass shooting in El Paso even though the shooter specifically said he wasn’t inspired by Trump. (Daily Caller, Sept. 12, 2019)

Vaping: What You Need to Know (for Teens) 
9-10-19, KidsHealth.org -- Vaping is the inhaling of a vapor created by an electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) or other vaping device. E-cigarettes are battery-powered smoking devices. They have cartridges filled with a liquid that usually contains nicotine, flavorings, and chemicals. The liquid is heated into a vapor, which the person inhales. E-cigarettes also:

• irritate the lungs
• may cause serious lung damage and even death
• can lead to smoking cigarettes and other forms of tobacco use

Some people use e-cigarettes to vape marijuana, THC oil, and other dangerous chemicals. Besides irritating the lungs, these drugs also affect how someone thinks, acts, and feels. 

1. ​Jerusalem and its temple will be destroyed and the Temple Mount laid bare (Matthew 24:1-2)
2. The Jewish people will be scattered all over the world for a long period of time and will face hardships and persecution everywhere they go (Deuteronomy 4:27, 28:64; Ezekiel 36:24).
3. While the Jews are away from their homeland it will be a desolate wasteland, but once they are back it will spring to life (Ezekiel 36:34-35).
4. The Jewish homeland would be controlled by Gentile nations during Israel's dispersion (Luke 21:24).
5. Centuries later the Jewish homeland will be reborn [in a single day] as a unified nation (Ezekiel 37:15-22) called Israel (Isaiah 66:8) and at a time when they have lost all hope (Ezekiel 37:11-12).
6. The ancient Hebrew language would be revived (Zephaniah 3:9, Jeremiah 31:23).
7. A remnant of Jews will accept Jesus as their Messiah, but most will be blind (Romans 11:25) that their Messiah Jesus Christ already came.
8. Israel would face hostility from neighbors, being greatly outnumbered and attacked from all sides by Egypt, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon, but will miraculously survive as victor regaining capitol city of Jerusalem and develop a very strong military (Zechariah 12:1-6).

 
ISRAEL CURRENTLY HAPPENING:

1. Israel would become so wealthy that several large powerful nations will want what she has (Ezekiel 38:10-12).
2. Pending war will not involve Israel's previous border enemies, but will also involve an outer ring of nations (Ezekiel 38:1-5).
3. Iran and Turkey (Ezekiel 38:7) will lead an alliance of countries including Sudan and Libya that will come against Israel from the north; Lebanon & Syria. [Some end time believers think Russia will be involved.]
4. There will be a great increase in worldwide anti-Semitism and anti-Israel positions and actions (Zechariah 12:1-9). The nations of the world will be obsessed with the tiny nation of Israel--wanting to move her borders and condemn her at every turn (Zechariah 12:3).
5. There will be some sort of a broad peace agreement between Israel and many Islamic nations (Daniel 9:27) [possibly the US Pres Trump's Mideast Peace Deal, Sept 2019].
6. Nations who protest the attack on Israel are England and areas that came out of England: America, Canada & Australia (Ezekiel 38:13). And for the first time ever, Israel’s former enemy, Saudi Arabia protest attacking Israel and is working together.

 
WORLD EVENTS AND BIRTHPAINS:

1. Earthquakes, natural disasters, tsunamis, wild climate extremes and perplexing conflicts will increase in frequency, scale and intensity with no solution (Matthew 24:7-8, Luke 21:25).
2. Mankind has grown noticeably course, vile, immodest, unloving, lawless, violent, legal murder of newborn babies in abortion and increased insanity (2 Timothy 3:1-5).
3. Rise in cults and the occult (1 Timothy 4:1, Matthew 24:5).
4. People confused about morality, sexual/gender norms as created and designed by God: man and woman marriage & homosexuality (Romans 1:18-32).
5. Much of the church will lose its effectiveness, watered down message (2 Timothy 4:3-4, Revelation 3:14-18), and a great number will fall away in a mass exodus (2 Thessalonians 2:3).
6. The Gospel will increase around the globe (Matthew 24:14).
7. The persecution of Christians will increase (Matthew 24:9-10).
8. Unusual signs in the sun, moon and stars (Luke 21:25).
9. The push toward globalism and a one-world religion (Revelation 17:1-18).
10. People will scoff and scorn the beliefs of: God the Creator, the flood of Noah's day and in Christ's return although there is tangible evidence for all three (2 Peter 3:3-13). 

Putin, Macron Say Ukraine-Russia Prisoner Swap Positive Step
8-8-19, RadioFreeEurope -- Russian Pres Putin and French Pres Macron met to discuss the Russia and Ukraine prisoner exchange and peace with Ukraine. On Sept 7, 2019 a total of 70 prisoners were exchanged; a move praised by the West as an opportunity to improve tense relations between Kyiv and Moscow. After being elected in April 2019, Ukraine’s new President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called for a four-way meeting in a Normandy format: Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France to revive peace talks with Putin. Macron and Putin also discussed Iran and keeping in place a 2015 deal that gave Iran access to world trade, including the sale of oil, in exchange for curbs on its nuclear program.

Volodymyr Wants to Meed Vladimir
7-8-19, Reuters -- Ukraine's Pres Elect Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said, “And now I want to turn to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Need to talk? It is necessary. Let’s discuss to whom Crimea belongs and who is not there in the Donbass.” 

Vladimir Shows Carrot and Stick to Volodymyr
4-25-19, WallStreetJourn -- Apparently Russian President Vladimir Putin has extended an olive branch to Ukraine’s president-elect Volodymry Zelenskiy in his first public comments since Sunday’s vote. He said, “We want and are prepared to fully normalize our relations, but we cannot do that unilaterally.” According to Gazeta.ru (Russian news site based in Moscow) Russia does not need to return to the G8. Russia, regardless of its presence or absence in the G8, is becoming the most important negotiating party for the West ... Russia has already returned to the club of leading world powers.

Galatians 5:13; John 8:44 ; See also Acts 13:10; 2 Peter 2:15
 
9-11-19, God created mankind to have a free will. We human beings are pretty much free to do as we choose; Jesus said:
 
“Whosoever will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for My sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” Mark 8:34-36
 
We might wish that God established a set of boundaries, beyond which people would be punished. Ok, what should God do with, say, people who are verbally abusive? Words can wound deeply, what about adultery, stealing, murder - salvation? The potential for mankind's wickedness is far reaching; where would we want God to draw the line? Should He force people to believe in Him?
 
God has revealed to us how to best live our lives to honor and glorify Him; and as a teaching tool He gave us His TEN Commandments [Exodus 34:28], but because of our free will – many would rather live for Satan. What??!! We may say – I don’t believe in God or trust Jesus, but I don’t live for Satan! The Bible says we do. “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” John 8:44
 
John 3:18 “Whoever believes in Jesus is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the only begotten Son of God." [Also see John 5:24; Mark 16:16]
 
The good news is we can be born again; Jesus invites us to repent of our sin and receive Him into our hearts, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in…” [Revelation 3:20, John 14:6]
 
Jesus laid down His life for us on the cross; He did so because He loves us.
 “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” [John 15:13]

Summary of the 9/11 Attacks on America

​A series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda against the United States on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001 killing 2,996 people, injured over 6,000 others and caused at least $10 billion in infrastructure and property damage. Additional people died of 9/11-related cancer and respiratory diseases in the months and years following the attacks.
 
Four passenger airliners operated by two major U.S. passenger air lines were hijacked by 19 Muslim terrorists all of which departed from airports in northeastern United States bound for San Francisco and Los Angeles.

• Two of the planes, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, were crashed into the North and South towers, respectively, of the World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan. Within an hour and 42 minutes, both 110-story towers collapsed. Debris and the resulting fires caused a partial or complete collapse of all other buildings in the World Trade Center complex, including the 47-story 7 World Trade Center tower, as well as significant damage to ten other large surrounding structures.
• A third plane, American Airlines Flight 77, was crashed into the Pentagon (the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense) in Arlington County, Virginia, which led to a partial collapse of the building's west side.
• The fourth plane, United Airlines Flight 93, was initially flown toward Washington, D.C., but crashed into a field in Stonycreek Township near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after its heroic passengers thwarted the hijackers. 

 
Although not confirmed, there is evidence of Saudi Arabian involvement in the attacks. More here

John 15:11; 1 Peter 1:8

What was the joy that Jesus had?
Joy should not be confused with happiness.

It's an insult to Jesus Christ to use the word happiness in connection with Him. The joy of Jesus was His absolute self-surrender and self-sacrifice to His Father— the joy of doing that which the Father sent Him to do.

“…who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross…” (Hebrews 12:2)
“I delight to do Your will, O My God…” Psalm 40:8

Jesus prayed that our joy might continue fulfilling itself until it becomes the same joy as His. 1 Peter 1:8 Living a full and overflowing life does not rest in bodily health, wealth, circumstances, nor even in seeing God’s work succeed, but in the perfect understanding of God and in the same fellowship and oneness with Him that Jesus Himself enjoyed. However, the first thing that will hinder this joy is the subtle irritability caused by giving too much thought to our circumstances. Jesus said, “…the cares of this world,…choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.” (Mark 4:19) And before we even realize what has happened, we are caught up in our cares. All that God has done for us is merely the threshold— He wants us to come to the place where we will be His witnesses and proclaim who Jesus is as we are surrounded in His 'JOY!'

2020 Census To Keep same 2010 Racial, Ethnic Questions that are More Racist than Citizenship Question
1-26-18, NPR -- A Census Bureau announcement about the race and ethnicity questions for the 2020 census cause no outcry ... although the hysteria remains about the citizenship question. Spokesman for the Bureau said that the upcoming national head count 2020 census will keep the same racial and ethnic category questions used for the Obama's 2010 census. The race questions ranged from broad racial groups like "white" and "American Indian or Alaska Native" to specific ethnic groups like "Filipino" and "Samoan." Many Latinos have either left the race question blank or checked off "some other race," which was the third-largest racial group reported in census results for 2010. 

The belligerent ignorance of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez [AOC]
8-24-18, TheMaineWire -- The belligerent and arrogant Miss Cortez shows how ignorant she truly is. The former bartender is always on display making an abject fool of herself especially when trying to fake her way through a discussion of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and claiming the care of the illegal migrants at the border is like a Nazi concentration camp where they had to drink out of toilets. No matter how much she wants to call herself a Socialist, she's not. She's a big government statist who believes in confiscatory taxes, bloated spending, and a government program for every problem in America.

1 John 1:8

8-25-19, Henry Morris, PhD -- Here John is writing to Christians, and his epistle is full of exhortations to the Christian to purge sin from his life, with grave warnings to any who do not. Yet, he also says that for a Christian to claim sinless perfection is self-deception. “If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us” (1 John 1:10).

Only by Jesus Christ Himself could such claims be truly made. The greatest theologian, Paul, said concerning Christ that He “knew no sin” (2 Corinthians 5:21). His closest friends, Peter and John, said that He “did no sin” (1 Peter 2:22) and that in Him is no sin (1 John 3:5). His betrayer, Judas, said, “I have betrayed the innocent blood” (Matthew 27:4); His condemning judge, Pilate, said, “I find in him no fault at all” (John 18:38); and His executioner said, “This was a righteous man” (Luke 23:47).

Christ Himself claimed human perfection:
“For I do always those things that please Him.”
John 8:29

Jesus Christ alone was sinlessly perfect in His human life, and it was because of this that He could die for our sins.

It's arrogant for one of us to claim a state of perfection, thus leading such a person into repeated assertions of boasting and self-justification, trying to explain why apparently sinful behavior is not really sinful. [Ecclesiastes 7:20] Even Paul himself acknowledged:

“Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect.”
Philippians 3:12

Between these two key verses in John’s epistle, he gives us the moment-by-moment remedy for sin in a godly believer’s life:

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
1 John 1:9
“The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.”
1 John 1:7

In 2005 Nine Thousand Israeli Citizens Forcibly Expelled from Gaza - FOR PEACE  
In August 2005, US President George W. Bush convinced Israel's Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to remove all 9,000 Jews from Gaza turning it over entirely to the Muslims [aka Palestinians]. It was called 'Israeli Disengagement' or 'Gaza Expulsion.'

On August 23, 2005 Sharon was praised by the US Pres Geo W. Bush claiming the Palestinians should have their own state. And on that precise day Hurricane KATRINA originated over the Bahamas making landfall as a Category 3 hurricane.  In southeast Louisiana [New Orleans] it hovered over the USA from August 29th lasting until August 31, 2005.

And soon thereafter Prime Minister Ariel Sharon suffered a debilitating stroke that he never recovered from and finally - after nine years in coma - in 2014 passed into eternity.

Daniel 12:1-2; 2 Timothy 3:1-5

9-8-19, In this week's prophecy update, John Haller paints a rather bleak picture.  The world is being groomed at many levels to accept falsehood over truth:

• exponential increase of referrals to pediatric clinics for gender confused children
• increasingly complex and constantly changing alliances in the Middle East
• the adversary and author of confusion is assailing men and women all over the globe to swallow poisenous positions that are leading us into a devolving moral and military state that has no point of return

​While "WE Won't Turn This Around", we have faith in the ONE who can and will ... our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  When He returns, the folly of the world's leaders who are following the spirit of deception will be overwhelmed with the Spirit of Truth, and all injustices committed thoroughout the ages will be avenged.  

In the meatime, our mission, should we choose to accept it, it to stand strong in our faith until that day when we shall see Him face to face.

9-5-19, Fox News -- A defector Sang-Chul reports that in 2016 Chinese citizen Christian Pastor Han Chung-Ryeol shared his faith with at least 1,000 North Koreans in the Hermit Kingdom. Since 1990 Pastor Chung-Ryeol ministered, fed and sheltered thousands of North Koreans; many of whom had fled the famine-stricken country in search of food and jobs. Reportedly Pastor Han has been on Pyongyang's most-wanted list as early as 2003 for his Christian faith-based charitable work. One North Korean defector, Sang-chul, shared his story in a documentary on The Voice of the Martyrs, as a way to encourage believers around the world. He said: 

"In North Korea primary school, we were taught that all Christian missionaries were terrorists; that a missionary will be nice to you at first, but when they get you into their homes, then they will kill you and eat your liver." Sang-chul knew something was different when the pastor didn't cheat him out of any money, but he wondered why a Chinese citizen would help him, knowing the danger.

And then one day Han told him: "God is real. There is hope for every person," but he wondered why he would say "Hananim, [the word for God] I could not believe he would say that word, 'God.' Nobody says that word. We know that it is an act of treason ... and can lead to soldiers coming in the night."

Eventually, Sang-chul asked Han for a Bible and shared about the gospel with his wife and best friend, who both found hope before he received the tragic news that Han was stabbed and axed to death by North Korean assassins. 

"Pastor Han gave his life, but he gave hope to me and to many other North Koreans. And despite the ever-present danger, many of us will continue to share the message that God is real. We hope that our sacrifice, when the day comes, will be worthwhile, just like it was for Pastor Han. It is because I am a Christian." -- Sang-Chul

NASA admits that climate change occurs because of changes in Earth’s solar orbit, and NOT because of SUVs and fossil fuels
8-30-19, Natural News -- For more than 60 years, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has known that the changes occurring to planetary weather patterns are completely natural and normal. For whatever reason the space agency has chosen to let the man-made global warming hoax persist and spread, to the detriment of human freedom. [..snip]  The biggest factor influencing weather and climate patterns on earth is the sun, period.  Depending on the earth’s position to the sun at any given time, climate conditions are going to vary dramatically, and even create drastic abnormalities that defy everything that humans thought they knew about how the earth worked.
Rather than embrace this truth, today’s climate “scientists,” joined by leftist politicians and a complicit mainstream media, insist that not using reusable grocery bags at the supermarket, straws and not having an electric vehicle are destroying the planet so quickly that we absolutely must implement global climate taxes as the solution.
The climate change debate is not about science. It is an effort to impose political and economic controls on the population by the elite. And it’s another way to divide the population against itself, with some who believe in man-made global warming and some who don’t, i.e. divide and conquer.

Climate change hoax COLLAPSES as new science finds human activity has virtually zero impact on global temperatures
7-12-19, Natural News -- All the human activity targeted by radical climate change alarmists — combustion engines, airplane flights, diesel tractors — have virtually no measurable impact on the temperature of the planet. Finnish scientists spearheaded the research, releasing a paper entitled, “No Experimental Evidence for the Significant Anthropogenic Climate Change.”Analysis of global temperatures suffers from a glaring error — namely, failure to account for “influences of low cloud cover” and how it impacts global temperatures. Natural variations in low cloud cover, which are strongly influenced by cosmic radiation’s ability to penetrate Earth’s atmosphere due to variations in the strength of our planet’s magnetosphere, account for nearly all changes in global temperature.

CNN Reports: Study Shows Vegans At Greater Risk than Meat Eaters
 9-4-19, Tammy Tong, a nutritional epidemiologist at the Nuffield Dept of Population Health at the University of Oxford in England research found that vegetarians and vegans had a 20% higher risk of stroke than meat-eaters, particularly hemorrhagic stroke -- caused when blood from an artery begins to bleed into the brain. This translates to 3 more cases of stroke per 1,000 people over 10 years. [Fish eaters had less.] "The exact reasons for this higher risk found in vegetarians are not clear. It is possible that this is due to "very low cholesterol levels or very low levels of some nutrients [like B12]." 

Is it worth debating "vegans" on their narrow-mindedness?

9-5-19, JERUSALEM -- Israeli archaeologists discovered an unusually well-preserved mosaic apparently depicting the miracle of the Lord Jesus Christ feeding the 5,000 as recorded in all four of the New Testament Gospels. The excavation is called "Hippos-Sussita" excavation site.

The mosaic floor of an early 4th century Christian Church overlooking the Sea of Galilee was discovered; it is well preserved because it was covered with the ash from the church being burned.  When archaeologists broke through the ash layer, they found a colorful mosaic depicting images of baskets with loaves and fish, a miracle that is believed to have occurred close to the Sea of Galilee.

Dr. Michael Eisenberg, head of the excavation team in Hippos on behalf of the Institute of Archaeology at the University of Haifa, Israel said, "There can certainly be different explanations to the descriptions of loaves and fish in the mosaic, but you cannot ignore the similarity to the description in the New Testament: for example, from the fact that the New Testament has a description of five loaves in a basket or the two fish depicted in the apse, as we find in the mosaic." ​More here and here

5-1-19, Fairus.org -- Many countries maintain border walls or fences, including Israel, the UK (Northern Ireland),  Spain, Greece, Hungary and India. As of May 2018, there were at least seventy-seven border walls or fences around the world. However, in America, Congress has impeded progress of completion of the southern border security barrier; therefore because of its inaction and obstruction, in Feb 2019, President Trump declared a national emergency to jump start the border wall. Few important facts:
1. In 1996 Congress and Pres Clinton [Dem] passed the “Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA)” to construct a southern border fence: 14-mile, triple-layered fence between San Diego & Tijuana
2. By 2004, only nine miles of fencing were completed so Congress passed the Secure Fence Act of 2006 [double-layered fencing along the border, augmented by manpower and technology and directed Homeland security to construct “reinforced fencing along not fewer than 700 miles of the southwest border]
3. As of May 2015 there was only 350 miles of fencing … Currently there is approximately 700 miles of fencing and barriers along the 1,954-mile USA border with Mexico majority is only for vehicles not foot traffic.
4. In 2019 the Dept of Defense (DOD) redirected funds from existing programs for the purposes of border wall construction under the authority of President Trump’s emergency declaration [In July 2019 Supreme Court approved here]
5.  The estimated cost of the wall is between $15 and $25 billion
6.  After initial construction, especially if high-tech monitoring devices are installed, there will be annual maintenance costs [estimated in 2006] from a low of $115 million to a high of $1.2 billion in FY 2008 before eventually stabilizing at around $400 million in FY 2012. [The overall construction and annual maintenance costs pale when compared to the annual $116 billion FAIR estimates illegal immigration costs American taxpayers.
​7. Securing the southern border is a sound fiscal investment. Besides helping stem the tide of illegal immigration, it also limits the ability of drug cartels, human traffickers, terrorists and other national security threats to access the United States from Mexico and the rest of Central and South America.

Until Jesus Christ calls all born again Christians to Himself, we must have Blessed Hope in the future [Titus 2:13]. Redemption may never come for our nation, but it will come for individuals who put their faith in Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Romans 15:13) Until He does come, we are called to finish the course, keep the faith as we pray & watch for His appearing (2 Timothy 4:7-8).

​Is there hope for America as she teeters on the brink of the almighty righteous God’s dire judgment? I am convinced that the glory of God is leaving America. What was once a shining city on a hill has become a twisted caricature of unholy self righteousness. Like the ancient Israelites of Deuteronomy 28:15-19, we think we are immune from harm because we like to think of ourselves as a Christian nation; God will not be mocked [Galatians 6:7-8].

Applicable today as it was two thousand years ago when Jesus said:

“You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you: ‘This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far away from Me'.” Matthew 15:7-8 [Obey God! Acts 5:29-32]
