Europe is Preparing for War and They're No Longer Hiding It

 Wars and rumors of war!  What DO you do about Putin?  He clearly told the world that his nation will not tolerate NATO on it's borders.  And yet the West pushed ever closer to this borders.  In an interview he said he just doesn't want the trash of the West starting to drift into Russia...you know like abortion demands, LGBTQ normalization, gay marriage, men saying they can get pregnant and should be allowed to change and shower with little girls...that kind of crap.

And then he launched into Ukraine to take some more territory as a buffer zone in case Ukraine decided to join NATO.

Let me remind you that NATO has a rule in it's charter that, "an attack on one member will be treated as an attack on us all."  That was really the purpose...to threaten the Soviet Union during the cold war.

So now what do you do about Putin?  Ukraine CAN NOT beat them on their own.  The West can send them missiles and drones but without sending them soldiers and airmen to fly war planes, Putin isn't going anywhere.

And he certainly will NEVER say, "OK world...I was wrong, you were right...I'm taking my soldiers and heading back to Russia so Ukraine can have all the territory we were fighting with them for.  My bad!  Sorry to all the thousands of Russian mothers, but your kids died for nothing."

So now Europe has to assume that if Russia is willing to take territory from Ukraine, why wouldn't they maybe want some territory from Finland, Germany, Norway or Sweden?

Europe is doing something it hasn't done in generations: preparing openly, urgently, and systematically for a major war on the continent. Not a limited skirmish. Not a border dispute. A large-scale, society-shaking conflict reminiscent of the wars our grandparents and great-grandparents endured.

That warning didn't come from some fringe alarmist. It came directly from the head of NATO, who recently cautioned that the alliance must adopt a "wartime mindset" and be ready for a conflict comparable to the world wars of the 20th century. When the top official responsible for Europe's collective defense uses that kind of language, it's not a slip of the tongue. It's a signal.

And across Europe, governments are acting as though they agree.

Europe is experiencing the most aggressive military expansion in more than 30 years. Policymakers aren't simply adding a few extra battalions or refreshing aging equipment -- they are rebuilding the continent's defense posture from the ground up, reversing decades of demobilization and budget cuts.

Consider just a few of the dramatic shifts underway:

France is expanding its army and restoring military service nearly 30 years after ending conscription. While voluntary for now, the move reflects a growing consensus that France needs a significantly larger reserve of trained personnel. Why? If a peace deal with Russia were anywhere on the horizon, such an expansion would be unnecessary.

Germany is transforming its military at a pace unseen in its modern history. It plans to dramatically increase the size of the Bundeswehr and pour unprecedented sums into new weapons systems, advanced defense technologies, and logistical capacity. Next year's defense procurement budget is projected to reach record-breaking levels.

Other nations are following suit:

Denmark extended conscription to women and lengthened the required service time.

Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania maintain universal or lottery-based conscription, preparing new waves of soldiers annually.

Croatia has reinstated a draft it abandoned nearly two decades ago.

Poland is developing plans to conduct mass-scale military training for adult males, hoping to double the size of its army.

Norway has begun reopening Cold War-era bomb shelters and expanding its "total defense" system, preparing civilians and infrastructure for the possibility of large-scale conflict with Russia. 

Sweden is upgrading its vast network of 64,000 wartime shelters and revitalizing national civil-defense planning, signaling that it too is bracing for the kind of crisis Europe hoped it would never face again.

These moves aren't sporadic. They're coordinated. Sudden. Simultaneous.

When half a continent shifts into military-industrial gear, it's not coincidence. It's preparation.

Hospitals Preparing for Tens of Thousands of Casualties

Perhaps even more unsettling is what's happening outside the barracks.

In France, hospitals have been instructed to prepare for a massive armed conflict by early 2026. Planning documents outline scenarios where 10,000 to 50,000 wounded soldiers could require treatment within a few months. Hospitals are being told to expand trauma care capacity, ready supply chains, and coordinate with regional emergency centers in anticipation of wartime conditions.

This isn't routine civil-defense planning. It's not a COVID-style contingency.

This is explicit preparation for large-scale military casualties.

Germany is undertaking similar efforts, quietly updating civil-defense frameworks and hospital networks to handle mass injuries in the event of war on European soil.

If peace with Russia were imminent, such preparations would be unnecessary -- even absurd.

But if war is on the horizon, they make perfect sense.

A Wartime Mindset Returns to Europe

The NATO chief's warning that Europe must prepare for conflicts on the scale of the world wars was not a metaphor. Those wars were total conflicts involving entire societies -- not just armies. Factories, hospitals, railways, politics, and culture were drawn into the struggle.

When he said Europe must return to a "wartime mindset," he meant preparing for exactly that kind of comprehensive challenge:

Fully mobilized economies

Expansive militaries

Hardened infrastructure

Civilian readiness

Rapid wartime production

National survival as a strategic objective

Across the continent, leaders are speaking more bluntly about Russia's intentions. Many now believe Moscow is preparing for a long confrontation with the West -- not just a limited conflict in Ukraine, but a broader strategic challenge that could eventually reach NATO territory.

European officials are no longer asking whether Russia might become a threat. They're acting as if that moment is inevitable unless the continent vastly strengthens its defenses.

Why Now? Why All at Once?

Europe cut defense budgets for 30 years, assuming permanent peace. That era is over. The combined factors driving the buildup include:

Russia proving it is willing to launch large-scale invasions.

Uncertainty about long-term U.S. commitment to European defense.

A munitions and manpower gap that could leave Europe dangerously exposed.

A realization that the post-Cold War order is collapsing.

Europe has awakened to the reality that if conflict comes, it may not be small, containable, or short-lived. It may require mobilizing entire societies -- not just professional armies.

The Unspoken Conclusion

European leaders publicly say they want peace. But in private planning, emergency memos, military expansions, and sweeping defense budgets, they are preparing for something else entirely.

Because the truth is simple:

If peace with Russia is around the corner, none of this makes sense.

If war with Russia is coming, everything suddenly does.

Europe is no longer behaving like a region drifting toward conflict.

It is behaving like a region bracing for it.

And when NATO leaders warn us to prepare for a war reminiscent of the world wars, we would be wise to take them at their word.

Here;  Europe Is Preparing for War - And They're No Longer Hiding It

It's true.  Europe cut it's defense spending for the last 30 years.  Why spend money on guns and bombs when America is going to spend all it's money to protect us?

Well, America is now $38 trillion in debt and the interest on our debt now exceeds all the spending for military...so we simply don't have the money right now.  But if you want to pay us to keep our bases in Europe and pay for our guns, bombs and planes, then maybe YOU buy less cars, houses and vacations and provide more for your own defense?

And that's what they are deciding to do.

Interesting times.  Come Lord Jesus.

Israel Supplies Germany With Air Defense System

 The Jews are truly a blessing to the entire world!

Just imagine this story.  80 years ago the Germans were rounding up all the Jews in Europe and murdering them in the most heinous fashion.  Now today the Jews of Israel have installed an air defense system into Germany to protect them from the Russians.

When Israel unveiled the Arrow-3 system in Germany last week to protect it from a potential Russian ballistic missile attack, only 80 years after the Holocaust, reality was defying human imagination, former IDF air defense chief Brig.-Gen. Ran Kochav has told The Jerusalem Post.

Noting that this process turns history on its head, he said, "Less than 80 years after the Luftwaffe planes terrorized Europe and destroyed our people, the Jewish state provides Germany with the umbrella that will protect its skies. This is the triumph of the Israeli spirit and resilience."

“There is a very deep significance in the fact that Germany, 80 years after the Holocaust, is choosing Israeli technology to protect its citizens. This testifies to the path that the two countries have traveled and the mutual trust that has been built," stated Kochav.

Kochav recounted to the Post how he suddenly became a commander for an Arrow battery overnight when the prior commander was fired.

Though he was higher ranked, Kochav said he underwent a series of basic courses with brand new non-officer soldiers for several weeks, learning about its weaponry, its monitoring functions, its command and control systems, and its radar systems.

He eventually became commander not only of one Arrow battery, but of all of them, and eventually of the entire IDF Air Defense Command.

While Kochav had tremendous pride in his Arrow unit, he told the Post that he was very disappointed when the Second Lebanon War came in 2006, and his unit's high level of operational readiness did not match the much lower quality rocket threat which Hezbollah showered over northern Israel.

It would be almost half a year later before Israel would produce the Iron Dome to combat lower grade rocket threats, given that Jerusalem started developing the Arrow much earlier after being attacked by Iraqi ballistic missiles during the 1991 Gulf War.

Another personal story Kochav shared with the Post was his traveling to Alaska after the Second Lebanon War to test fire the more advanced Arrow-3, which shoots down misisles beyond the atmosphere.

Kochav laughed about having been "frozen like an icicle" and noted that it took three days to travel to the location and three day to get back to Israel for only two days of testing.

But he said he took great pride in shooting down the first ballistic missile for Arrow-3 along with a team that included Boaz Levy, who was then a missile defense specialist for Israe; Aerospace Industries IAI).

Levy later became IAI's president and Kochav the head of all of Israel's air defense.

Next, Kochav stated, "Back then, the mission was to defend Tel Aviv, Haifa and Jerusalem. Today, this technology, the fruit of the feverish minds of our best engineers, is being sent to defend Berlin."

Getting more personal in terms of his concrete experiences commanding the Arrow system as part of Israel's air defenses, he said, "As someone who commanded this unit, and later the entire IDF system, I remember the long nights in the control cars, the enormous tension before a test, and the heavy sense of responsibility."

The former IDF air defense chief continued, "There are moments in history when reality surpasses all imagination. Last week, when the components of the "Arrow-3" batteries were delivered to the German government, we witnessed one of these moments."

There can be no doubt that "God's chosen people" were chosen for delivering the Word of God, delivering the Messiah Jesus, showing the gentiles what blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience actually means and blessing them with intelligence to survive anywhere they were scattered.  Look up how many Nobel Prizes the Jews have received.  Understand that they are the heads of all types of industry and innovations.  They have been a blessing to the world, exactly as God said they would.

USA Could Potentially End Up Fighting Lots of Nations at the Same Time

I hope this doesn’t turn out this way, but the headline of the article was SO End Times that I just had to post it.

But the fact does remain that America has been the big dog for 80 years now.  The rest of the world has stayed relatively calm during that time knowing that America will protect them from any Boogey Man.  But nations can’t remain the Big Dog forever.  Ultimately they end up with military bases all over the world meant to cast their power and serve to remind any Boogey Man to stay away.  But slowly they start to run out of money because they put too much on credit believing they will pay it off one day.  The causes of overspending all sound great, “feed the children, house the children, healthcare for all people under certain income  level, subsidies for farmers, aid for foreign nations, college loan forgiveness, etc…”  

And then one day we wake up and realize that the INTEREST alone on that borrowed debt is GREATER than our entire military spending.  The Boogey Men start to make plans together.  China throws out tik tok to spoil the brains of our kids, makes fentanyl to destroy our kids, and starts threatening America’s allies Japan and Taiwan.  Russia gives us the finger while taking land from Ukraine and threatening European armies with destruction.  Venezuela dictator starts working with Boogey Men and soon is their good friend.  Mexico gets run by cartels who are responsible for getting the Chinese drugs into America.

We threaten them all but they may all know we can’t afford to wage war against them all to enforce our threats.

Oh yeah, don’t forget that America is split right down the middle and has now gone to fighting with each other because the split has gotten too large to compromise a solution.

I’m glad Jesus has it all under control because it’s looking like a nightmare scenario is forming.

************************

With each passing day, the pressure on our European allies to intervene in Ukraine grows even stronger.

To most EU leaders, allowing the Russians to win this war would be completely and utterly unacceptable.

But the Ukrainians have no chance of defeating the Russians by themselves.

At some point EU leaders may give in to temptation and start sending large numbers of troops into Ukraine, and that will put us right on the brink of nuclear war.

Interestingly, the UK Ministry of Defence just announced that a member of the UK Armed Forces has died in Ukraine…

Once our European allies are directly fighting the Russians, it will just be a matter of time before we are directly fighting them too.

In the Pacific, the war of words between Japan and China is rapidly approaching a boiling point…

Beijing escalated its war of words with Tokyo after Japan said Chinese fighter jets aimed a fire-control radar at Japanese F-15s flying near Okinawa, an action Tokyo called “dangerous” and “extremely regrettable.”

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told his German counterpart Johann Wadephul in Beijing that “Japan is threatening China militarily,” a stance he called “completely unacceptable,” after the radar incident, Reuters reported.

Wang accused Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi of “trying to exploit the Taiwan question — the very territory Japan colonized for half a century, committing countless crimes against the Chinese people — to provoke trouble and threaten China militarily. This is completely unacceptable,” Wang said, according to China’s official Xinhua News Agency. He added that Japan, as a World War II “defeated nation,” should act with greater caution.

If the Japanese and the Chinese actually start shooting at one another, there is no way that we could stay out of it.

Today, we have approximately 120 military installations in Japan.

We are Japan’s protector, and the Chinese know that.

I have been warning about a coming war with China for a very long time.

But we could soon be facing a scenario in which we aren’t just facing one opponent.

If the wrong decisions are made, we could potentially find ourselves fighting Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico, Russia and China simultaneously.

Needless to say, we should be trying to avoid such a scenario any way that we can.

41% of Netflix Kid’s Shows Include LGBTQ Themes

Do you think a headline like this would ever make it onto Google News?  Would your local news channels run with this story?  Would the daytime TV talking heads ever tell us?  Of course not!  Because the whole deal is run by liberals who vote Democrat and they WANT our kids to be turned into liberals who vote Democrat.  So they start at a very young age and continue with their agenda in public school and all the way through college.

*****************************

It’s not in your imagination: children’s television has been overrun with LGBT themes, and Netflix is leading the charge, waving the rainbow flag right into your living room.

A new report from Concerned Women for America (CWA) confirms what many parents have long suspected about LGBT propaganda in kids’ entertainment. According to the study, one-third of all Netflix shows rated for children contain LGBTQ characters, themes, or messaging, and the percentage jumps to 41% in both TV-G and TV-Y7 categories.

In other words, the shows most aggressively marketed to the youngest viewers now routinely include sexual-identity content that would have been unthinkable in children’s entertainment just a decade ago.

The Antichrist Will Not Be a Muslim

 I’ve posted the teaching by Amir Tsarfati.  Most of you probably know his name as he’s been a frequent visitor on Understanding the Times and has numerous prophecy books out.  In this video teaching he takes us through the Bible and explains why the Antichrist can’t be a Muslim.

When he gets to the part about the Bible suggesting that the Antichrist will worship a god not currently known Or worshipped by anyone before, it makes us believe (even more) that some type of “alien” will be introduced to the world.  And these “aliens” will really be demons in disguise. Probably telling a story of how they “seeded” life on earth millions of years ago and have been watching our development all along.  They will also show the videos of how they monitored us over the years and how they “interrupted” nuclear missile accidents in Russia and USA to save the world from from ourselves.  

They will come with some great solutions and the post-rapture world will welcome him and them.

As Amir points out, he won’t be a Muslim because the Jews would NEVER let a Muslim have anything to do with the third Temple.  Also the Muslims would never allow another Muslim to cancel the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount to allow a Jewish Temple to be built there.

But most importantly, the Muslims of Turkey, Iran, Libya and Sudan will have just been supernaturally destroyed by God himself using hail and fire and earthquakes in Ezekiel 38.  This will leave millions of Muslims questioning how weak their god, Allah, really is.  They will be looking for answers and will easily fall under the spell of a new religion brought by the Antichrist.

Listen to Amir explain it all himself right here: https://youtu.be/-En0awUoKCE?si=FXXbfWx2I_Hqd7KN

The Future of US Debt and Fiscal Policy

 We have been preaching about financial collapse for over 15 years on this blog.  We know that it starts slowly and happens suddenly.

We have even used this quote from Alexander Tytler a few times over the years.

So America has had loose fiscal policy for going on 50 years.  When Nixon took us off the gold standard in 1971 and we started down the road of just selling US Bonds to finance all the stuff we wanted or needed.  Every election we started to elect the politician who would tell us what our itchy ears wanted to hear.  "You can have it today and the government will provide it and it will cost you nothing!"

But spend some time reading this article below from Peterson Foundation.  They claim to be a non-partisan source and simply look at charts, numbers and history to see where things are.  And I do believe this is accurate.

Please notice this one paragraph in the article;

Currency, banking and debt crises are a recurrent feature globally. They often happen “slowly then all at once”; fiscal deficits and debt burdens mount for a long time, then market participants suddenly shift their collective views, often in response to some new piece of information.

Slowly then all at once...suddenly.

Now continue to read the article about all that Trump is doing that breeds uncertainty into global players that have come to rely and trust the US Government.  

Now go back to Tytler's quote above and see how history always replaces a democracy (yes, I know that we are a Constitutional Republic, but our votes count to elect our representatives) with a dictator.

Now understand that Trump was put on the throne by God.  Does God put leaders in place to move prophecy forward?  Yes.  

Does America deserve judgment for the millions of babies we have murdered in the last 50 years?  Yes.

Does God warn nations about dividing Israel and messing with Jerusalem?  Yes.

Has Trump recently entertained the idea of selling out a TWO STATE SOLUTION to Saudi Arabia?   Yes.

Would that include dividing God's land?  Yes.

Has Trump surrendered his life to Jesus Christ and is he truly born again?  I don't know.  I can't see any fruit because I don't know his personal life.  Could he be a baby Christian?  Yes.  Could he be a mature follower of Christ?  I can't see it.

Could Trump actually end up being the dictator of our fallen democracy if it collapses in the next 3 years?  Maybe.

Am I thankful that God is in control of it all and "sets up and tears down leaders and nations"?  YES!!

Do I believe that the rapture of the church is closer today than it's ever been?  YES!!

Do I still believe that the financial collapse of America is going to happen immediately following the rapture?  I DO!

Read and study this Peterson article below and let me know what you think.

Mosley: Exorbitant Politics? The Future of U.S. Debt & Fiscal Policy

I think we all need to realize that we are in the very final innings of the game.  The American Experiment is coming to a close.  If we put all of our faith in the USA then we are going to be sorely disappointed.

But for most of my readers who have put their faith alone in Jesus, there is a glorious future awaiting us all and it starts when we leave these sin-filled bodies.

Maranatha! 

Most Christians Think Doing Good Things is All You Need

This makes a lot of sense when you consider that Jesus asked if he would find any faith on earth when He returns.  The very folks who call themselves Christians don’t even have faith in Christ but rather are relying on their own good works to get them to Heaven.  How sad.  How much longer can America last when even the “Restrainer” Holy Spirit isn’t actually indwelling most of those who identify as Christians?

***************************

New research reveals that most self-identified Christians think doing “good things” for others is enough to secure them a spot in Heaven, in what one leading researcher laments as the latest example of a widespread embrace of “unbiblical beliefs” among American Christians. 

A recent report released by the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University examining Americans’ views on the afterlife constitutes the latest installment of the American Worldview Inventory 2025, a survey of 2,000 American adults conducted in March. 

Overall, majorities of all Christian subgroups believe that every person will be judged personally by God, with 95% of theologically identified born-again Christians, 86% of Pentecostals, 84% of Evangelicals, 84% of independent and non-denominational Christians, 83% of Protestants, 82% of Mainline Protestants, 78% of self-identified Christians and 74% of Catholics embracing this belief. 

A majority (53%) of self-identified Christians agree that “A person who is generally good, or does enough good things for others, will earn a place in Heaven.” A majority of Catholics (73%) believe that doing “good things” is enough to secure a place in Heaven. Less than half of Evangelicals (43%), Mainline Protestants (43%), theologically identified born-again Christians (42%), Protestants (41%), Pentecostals (41%) and Christians who attend independent and non-denominational churches (35%) said the same. 

While over half of Catholics (54%) believe that “There are many paths to eternal salvation; you can choose whichever one you prefer,” less than half of self-identified Christians (41%), Evangelicals (37%), Mainline Protestants (35%), Pentecostals (34%), Protestants (34%), and Christians who go to independent and non-denominational churches (31%) and theologically identified born-again Christians (27%) held this opinion.

America's Education System Exists to Create Angry, Activist, Voting Liberals

 We really can't disagree with this.  My wife was a teacher in public schools for 30 years to we would receive the quarterly news letter from NEA.  I would read them in amazement as it seemed the biggest union in America (Teachers Union) would embrace every woke idea and then make sure to shove it down every teachers throat in hopes it would make it into every schoolkid's ears.

If Satan wants to ruin America, and he does, you would start making sure that all the kids heard plenty about evolution, gender theory, climate change, white privilege and racist white people.  At the same time they would hear nothing about God or each student being created by Him for a purpose.

Do that for about 18 years and you'll have lots of Democrat voters!  And if a few slip through the cracks before High School is done, then send them to college and the liberal professors will do their best to finish the job.

In a quick summary: Karens and liberals are the death of American greatness, and the factories which produce them must be destroyed for our survival. The first factory: big government where a bureaucrat flunkey whose personal emotional weakness of inner fears “climate change gives me anxiety” leads him to use his position to ban gas stoves as is already the case in California. And not just gas stoves but gas hot water heaters, leaf blowers, generators, furnaces, weedwackers. Important to note Californians never voted to have their property deemed illegal. It was decided, unilaterally, by the government machine where liberals see their authority as a vehicle to push agenda and rule over you without your input. For democracy, or something.

The next pernicious liberalism factory we’ll discuss is higher education. Really all education, as innumerous examples of children as young as kindergarten being told by so-called teachers that their gender is a choice and the abortion is healthcare… but I will limit my advocacy for education scorched earth to higher ed: colleges and universities (C’s & U’s).

The goal of the American university system is no longer to educate but to manufacture angry, activist, voting liberals.

Almost a decade ago a Yale professor had the nerve to tell students at Halloween to accept costumes even if deemed “offensive”. At the time, I remember laughing at the overblown and insane response of students who were “literally shaking” at the mere idea someone might dress as Pocahontas.

That was a prelude to where we are now. Today, personal offense is license for justifiable violence, and the schools will say nothing. Yesterday’s crying Yale student is today’s dangerous Columbia student where recently “Free Palestine” activists attacked a janitor for the crime of cleaning the building where Jewish students had gathered.

One of the agitators, Mahmoud Khalil, became a household name when the Trump Administration begin the process of his deportation. 1800 professors have boycotted Columbia University for not protecting Khalil.

No such boycott for the cause of the janitor…

Higher education insanity is not new. Berkley was an activist mess starting in the late 1960’s… but the insanity is deeply intensifying. When Riley Gains tried to speak at San Francisco University, she was not just heckled or protested, she was assaulted and forced to take shelter in a locked classroom. Her crime: believing that men should not compete against women in sports.

Kids make mistakes, even smart kids at smart universities, so let us give them an enormous measure of grace saying their protest “got out of hand” but then it behooves the university administrators to set things straight, right? Right?

The administration stood with the students.

No one was expelled or even disciplined. You dare to come on our campus and say men who castrate themselves cannot get pregnant? You deserve the violence you get. Put simply: make me stop hitting you.

And that proves my point: C’s & U’s are not about education but factories for turning out liberals. Ms. Gains brought an ideology which threatens it, and that threat had to be eliminated.

The greatest threat to C’s & U’s was Charlie Kirk, and he was successfully eliminated. Look at the response from the left. “I condemn violence, but Charlie Kirk…” deserved it. If you didn’t want to die you wouldn’t have spoken these words on our campus.

Charlie knew C’s & U’s were a problem. It’s why he set up his organization and focused on them. It’s why he pitched his tent on their quads. It’s why he called it “Turning Point” because young people were being steered into the abyss, and he was desperate to share with them another direction which points towards freedom.

It is perfectly fitting that Charlie was killed on a college campus. That is the battleground.

The left dominates C’s & U’s by eliminating choice. It’s a common tactic of the left. If we don’t allow a Christmas display, then eventually people will stop celebrating the Christian season. If we prohibit conservative thought, then eventually people will think liberalism is the only acceptable way to think.

The left even does it to their own kind. Look at Kamala: eliminate the ability for others to run and you get their version of unity.

To maintain the purity of liberalism, every course, every discipline, becomes aligned to goal of inculcating and solidifying liberalism. Jordan Peterson began his meteoric rise as an international thought leader because he refused to align his work as a clinical psychologist to the university’s wokeness agenda.

There is no less wiggle room in the hard sciences, either.

A University of Pittsburgh Anthropology professor claims there is no difference in male and female skeletons defying both basic biology and… anthropology.

A University of Wisconsin Dean declares that math is violence against blacks. No one knows what that even means.

Such professors do not want to teach Anthropology or Math. They want to teach liberalism. And they keep such stupidity afloat with “purity.” Upwards of 95% of university faculty and personnel are liberal. They create a culture which only allows liberalism, denying any alternative to liberalism, for the sole purpose of churning out liberals. Who cares if they are dumb or their degrees are useless (last year more than 15,000 people graduated with a degree in gender studies) they are liberal and more importantly the graduates will vote liberal.

In America, 28% of the population identifies as “liberal”. At C’s & U’s, it’s 50%. At post-grad levels, it’s 75%. The factories produce them very successfully en masse.

This is how we get statistics like “97% of scientists agree” that climate change is a threat. It is how we got medical professionals pushing mask mandates and social distancing even when science (and common sense) demonstrated their futility to the layman. Who needs science when you have a cause?

And the cause is liberalism.

We cannot shut down Harvard. We cannot prevent people from attending Brown. But we sure as hell can stop giving them tax dollars.

And you can stop sending your kid there. Yes, it sounds impressive when you say “my son is at Yale” but what is the value of 18 years of raising him on your values and beliefs only to have all your work undone in four years. Even worse, you are paying for it. Stop paying people to turn your kid into a liberal.

Here;  The American education system exists to manufacture angry, activist, voting liberals

We really don't see how this American Experiment is going to continue on it's current path much longer...short of supernatural intervention.  But since Jesus paints a picture of the times getting more and more godless as the DAY approaches, we can see where this is going and we pray more fervently that Jesus would come soon!

Iron Mixed With Clay

 When Daniel interprets Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, we are told the last kingdom on earth will be destroyed by a stone “not made by human hands”, and this will be Jesus coming on Revelation 19.  We are also told in chapter 2 that the whole statue represents all of human history and it stands on feet made of iron mixed with clay.  Jesus smashes that last kingdom at His return.  For years we have believed that the iron and clay is going to be the Antichrist’s kingdom mixed with some type of fallen angel/“aliens”/demons.  This would line up with Jesus saying “as it was in the days of Noah”.

Now today I see that I’m not alone in piecing this together because Terry James wrote a very good explanation of why he sees this as a possibility too.

*********************

Days of Noah-level Corruption

Many questions have come to me over the years about topics such as the biblical reporting on strange things that have happened from the beginning of humankind.

One such line of inquiry by some has been about the fallen angels (those who followed Lucifer in the rebellion against God) and their sexual insinuation into humanity.

Some theologians and others see this Genesis chapter 6 account as the sons of Cain, Adam and Eve’s son, as having sexual relations with Seth’s daughters, Seth being another son of the couple. This is in error, in my view and that of others. Many, including yours truly, believe the Bible says these fallen angels saw human women and found them sexually attractive, so they mated with them. These unions produced the Nephilim–the giants from which many believe the legendary demigods such as Zeus, Thor, Hercules, et cetera, came.

The questions sometime involve how beings such as Heaven’s powerful angels can have such relations with human women of mere flesh and blood. Or, how angels can reproduce, since Jesus Himself said human beings are like the angels in that they neither marry nor are given in marriage once they’re in Heaven.

However, in the case of the first question, we have stories of angels taking on the form of men, such as in the account of their visit to Abraham before they went to Sodom to deal with that city and remove righteous Lot. These angels/men were attractive to the homosexuals, who demanded to “know” them sexually.

In the case of the second question, we must recognize the term “in Heaven.” They have no marriage-type relationships while in the heavenly realm. But outside of Heaven, there is no such restriction or encumbrance—at least none found in Scripture.

The Bible doesn’t say that angels are sexless–without the ability to procreate—only that they don’t have such relationships in Heaven.

Upon giving King Nebuchadnezzar the interpretation of the metallic man dream-vision, Daniel implies that the wicked angelic forces possess sexual “seed”:

“Whereas thou safest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay” (Daniel 2:43).

Here the prophet was giving a picture of how the world system of rebellion against God will come down to a ten-kingdom configuration, which Jesus Christ will destroy when He returns at Armageddon. Apparently, the agglomeration of evil leaders, “kings,” and their “kingdoms” will be influenced by and probably intermingled biologically with demonic forces (fallen angels).

This is seen as being the case even now through Paul’s warning about the powers and principalities we struggle against today (Ephesians 6:12).

And this brings me to the point I would like us to look at regarding days-of-Noah-level corruption.

Jesus said the time of His return would be like it was “in the days of Noah.” The specific thing for us to examine is found in Christ’s Words in Genesis. (And, yes, Genesis is the “word of Christ”; Jesus is “the Word,” as we are told in John 1:1.)

We find in Genesis the following description of those days of Noah:

“The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth” (Genesis 6:11-12). 

The word to consider for our purposes here is “corrupted.” All flesh had corrupted itself; all was, in God’s holy eyes, changed from the genetic configuration He had created. Therefore, the following verses tell us that He would destroy the world, and He told Noah to prepare the ark for their physical as well as spiritual salvation.

Satan and his fallen horde of angels had been instrumental in this “corrupting” of all flesh. The genetic contamination was so great that God no longer recognized humanity as worth saving, except through the one family that hadn’t corrupted themselves by being part of the world of rebels.

My point is that if we are again in a time like Noah’s days, we must be in a time of corruption at least in some regard, like it was then.

This Could Collapse Every Civilization All at Once

 As a financial consultant for the past 38 years, I've seen a lot of stories about people who are disciplined and save money and live without debt.  But I've also seen plenty of stories of people who were never satisfied with what they had, were never willing to sacrifice today to have something for tomorrow, borrowed all they could to have the cars, houses, vacations and toys TODAY.

Of course it's not FAIR that the responsible people who worked hard, sacrificed and saved for their futures, will ultimately have their savings taken from them to pay for all the people who refused to work, sacrifice or save.

Also we have written plenty on the topic of paper money and how the USA has benefited wildly from owning the printing press to the world's ONLY reserve currency.  This has been our privilege for the past 80 years.  But it won't last forever.  Our discipline started to wane in 1971 when Nixon took us off the gold standard.  This started the slide to our $38 trillion in national debt today.

Great societies always start with discipline.  And when they start to have success they enter these different stages.  Ultimately they get to the point where they believe that THINGS WILL ALWAYS BE LIKE THIS.  And they get lazy, obese, undisciplined and unwilling to save a dollar while demanding the government pay for all they need.

Remember that the Antichrist will likely rise out of a very confused, scared world who are looking to someone who can have an idea to get them back on the track to prosperity.  And maybe the rapture will be the final nail in the coffin that collapses the current global financial system led by America.

The Gathering Storm

 There is no doubt that the world is on edge.  Ukraine and Russia.  China and Japan.  And it sounds like it soon may be Venezuela and America.

How many war fronts can America afford to fight on?  Is this what Jesus meant went he said, "Wars and rumors of war"?

While many Americans are searching for the best online holiday deals and figuring out what to watch on Netflix tonight, a storm is gathering. Decisions that are being made right now could radically alter the course of human history, but most of the population is so self-occupied that they don’t even realize what is happening. We could soon find ourselves involved in multiple global wars simultaneously, and once we reach that stage there will be no turning back.

Turkey Pushes for Closer Ties With Iran

 Another day, another headline showing how the Ezekiel 38 coalition is coming together for the first time in human history.

Despite the recent reimposition of UN sanctions on Iran, Turkey has called for closer diplomatic and trade relations with the Iranian regime, as both countries seek to bolster their influence in the Middle East while openly targeting Israel.

In a new interview with the semi-official Iranian news outlet ISNA, Turkey’s Ambassador to Iran, Hicabi Kırlangıç, said Ankara was working to expand bilateral cooperation with Tehran by leveraging existing capabilities to increase economic ties between the two countries.

“One of the obstacles to expanding trade relations between Iran and Turkey is the issue of sanctions. However, we should not cling to this excuse and refrain from trying to increase trade relations,” Kırlangıç said. 

“The goal is to raise the level of trade relations to $30 billion, but we are still far from this figure,” he continued, emphasizing the vast potential for economic growth and the need for careful planning to achieve it.

The Turkish diplomat’s latest remarks followed Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan’s visit on Sunday to Tehran, where he also pushed for stronger bilateral cooperation between the two countries and denounced what he called “unfair sanctions” on Iran.

In a joint press conference with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, Fidan reaffirmed Turkey’s support for Tehran while calling for the country’s nuclear program to be addressed through dialogue amid ongoing discussions to restart nuclear talks with the West.

After repeated unsuccessful negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program, European countries launched the process to reinstate wide-ranging UN sanctions earlier this year under the so-called snapback mechanism, adding further pressure on Tehran, which was already facing mounting US sanctions.

Fidan called for the removal of these “unrighteous” sanctions, stressing that the Iranian regime must resolve outstanding issues “on the basis of international law.”

“Turkey has always stood with Iran and will continue to stand with Iran within the framework of international law,” the top Turkish diplomat said, adding that “these unfair sanctions should be lifted.”

Trump Warns Israel Not to Interfere in Syria

 I’ve read that just a few years ago the now President of Syria was an Islamic terrorist with a U.S. bounty on his head.  Now he has a suit on and Trump invites him to the White House and warns Israel to stay away from Syria and let this “great leader” rebuild his war-torn country.

Hmmmm.  Does Trump know anything about Isaiah 17 and the destruction of Damascus?  Does he know he’s walking on thin ice if he starts telling Israel how, when and where they are to defend themselves from Satanic Islamists?  

Keep praying for Trump and his cabinet.  Keep praying for Israel and the peace of Jerusalem.  And keep praying that the churches of America and the young generation watching tik tok videos STOP turning against Israel and Jews.

*********************

US President Donald Trump warned Israel via social media on Monday against destabilizing Syria and its new leadership, shortly before holding a phone conversation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“It is very important that Israel maintain a strong and true dialogue with Syria, and that nothing takes place that will interfere with Syria’s evolution into a prosperous State,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, days after a deadly operation by Israeli forces in the south of the country.

Trump said he was “very satisfied” with Syria’s current performance under former Islamist rebel President Ahmed al-Sharaa, who made a historic visit to the White House in November.

The US president said Sharaa “is working diligently to make sure good things happen, and that both Syria and Israel will have a long and prosperous relationship together.” He added that the United States was “doing everything within our power to make sure the Government of Syria continues to do what was intended” to rebuild the war-torn country.

Good relations between Syria and Israel would add to his efforts for a wider Middle East peace following the fragile Gaza ceasefire in October, said Trump.

Iran is Drying Up Like NEVER Before

 Here is what we know for sure;  no matter how many Muslims gather at a mosque in Tehran to beg Allah for rain, it won’t make a difference because Allah is not God.

What we do wonder about is whether this a curse placed on Iran by God because of how they cursed Israel and lobbed thousands of missiles into her?  Of course we also know Iran has to stay around in the playing field of history to fulfill their role in Ezekiel 38.

But this water shortage sounds like it may even cause the evacuation of Tehran, where the rich, fancy and powerful live.

************************

Rows of worshippers, some with their faces raised toward the sky, others with their heads bowed, prayed for rain at a mosque in Tehran earlier this month. Theirs is an increasingly desperate plea. The city is grappling with a water crisis so severe the Iranian president has suggested people may need to evacuate. The weeks tick by, still the rains don’t arrive.

There are fears water may run out completely in this vast, bustling city, whose metropolitan area is home to around 15 million people.

In a speech earlier this month, President Masoud Pezeshkian said water will be rationed if it does not rain in Tehran by December. If the lack of rain continues, residents “have to evacuate,” he said. Many experts say evacuation is unfeasible, but Pezeshkian’s rhetoric reflects the seriousness of Iran’s situation.

Tehran is in the spotlight, but this is a crisis that goes well beyond the capital. Around 20 provinces haven’t seen a single drop of rain since the start of the rainy season at the end of September, said Mohsen B. Mesgaran, an associate professor of plant sciences at the University of California, Davis. Roughly 10% of the country’s dams have effectively run dry, according to Reuters.

He described the country as being in “water bankruptcy,” extracting from its rivers lakes and wetlands (akin to its checking account) and its underground aquifers (its savings account) at a much faster rate than they are replenished.

The government’s aim to achieve food self-sufficiency, partly in response to Western sanctions, is largely responsible for the situation, experts say. “For decades, policies have encouraged the expansion of irrigated agriculture in arid regions,” AghaKouchak said.

Irrigated farmland has doubled since 1979 and crops are thirsty, especially rice, an Iranian staple. The vast majority of Iran’s water, around 90%, goes to agriculture.

Lake Urmia, in northwestern Iran, is a clear casualty. Once one of the planet’s largest saltwater lakes, Urmia has shriveled over the past decades. Drought has played a role but the bigger driver is the dams and wells that have sprung up nearby to support farms, choking off supply to the lake. They have “pushed the system beyond its limits,” Mesgaran said.

Understand That a Mass Delusion Has Struck America

 We've all seen the videos of a dude walking down the street in Any City, USA with a microphone and he asks adults (of voting age), "How many states are in America?", or "What is the capitol of America?", or "How old is America?", or "Who did we gain our Independence from?"....and the blank stares and actual Americans can't answer the question is disturbing.

Next he asks some math questions, "What is 64 + 36?", or "What is 3x3x3?", and the blank stares and inability to answer is equally disturbing.  These are the voters of America!!  They have been dumbed down and their brains have not been trained for critical reasoning.

Now go the ICE protests where a reporter asks people on the streets of NYC, "Should ICE be allowed to deport illegal immigrants?"  And the reporter is met almost instantly with profanities of "F... you!"

What is happening?  Sadly, it appears that a mass delusion has taken over a wide swath of America.

We believe this is precursor to 2nd Thessalonians where it tells us that "God sends mass delusion so that THEY will believe the lie".

If I looked you in the eye and told you the Rocky Mountains don’t exist, you’d think I was crazy.

But give me time, and I could make you believe it.

I wouldn’t need threats or force. I wouldn’t really even need a good argument.

All I’d need is steady, confident repetition. The kind that comes from the voices you already trust.

Say, you lived out on the eastern plains of Colorado. The land is flat and the horizon looks empty.

You’ve got a job, a family, responsibilities. You’re not driving hours west to confirm whether a mountain range is sitting there; it’s not like it’s urgent.

So you don’t push back. You just absorb the disinformation.

And soon enough, you’re not just accepting the idea, you’re defending it.

Your identity becomes wrapped in the belief that the world is exactly as you were told it is.

Any challenge to that belief feels like a personal attack.

Then one afternoon, you drive a little farther than usual and there it is. The massive, immovable Rockies, exactly where they’ve always been

And instead of asking, “Why was I misled?” you lash out.

Who put these mountains here? This disrupts everything! Who do I blame?

And people just like you begin insisting that the problem isn’t the lie… It’s the chain of mountains.

Nothing changed about the Rockies, only your relationship to reality changed.

This is how real manipulation works.

Not by controlling your actions, but by controlling the lens you use to see the world. So when reality finally shows up, you treat reality itself as the enemy.

And that is exactly where America is right now.

Beware the Anxiety Machine

Trump Derangement Syndrome is only one expression of the larger psychological breakdown we’re living through. The same conditioning that drives people into obsession over Trump shows up everywhere else on the left.

Start with the basics…

The constant lies about men becoming women. And remember, that’s just the opening move. It’s the first step in the process.

Tell people to deny something obvious, force them to repeat it and, eventually, you condition them to accept any contradiction.

Then look at climate hysteria.

There are grown adults — not children, not teenagers, adults — who lose sleep because they’ve convinced themselves climate change is going to make humanity extinct.

That’s a real, documented phenomenon on the left. But think about what that means…

For instance, people refusing to have children because of what left-wing propaganda has done to their minds.

People who sincerely believe there is a “genocide” against trans people because we don’t think a 200-pound bearded man should be competing in girls’ athletics.

That which was once on the fringe has now become the left’s mainstream opinion.

And of course, COVID fits right into this: The madness of Fauci-ism was never just about public health.

It was about Pavlovian-style social conditioning.

The idea is simple. Create a stimulus, attach an emotional reaction, repeat until the reaction becomes automatic and bypasses the rational mind entirely.

That’s why the reality of anti-Trumpism is what it is today — absurdity on a loop.

The Russia-collusion hoax

The endless prosecutions

The Epstein insinuations.

The constant, coordinated lies.

For people rooted in reality like you and me, we haven’t handed over our brains to the system. You’re part of Money & Power precisely because you still trust your five senses! As well as your gut.

But ask yourself this:

How many people you know — especially in big blue states, people who voted for Kamala Harris — believe things that are flatly impossible?

How many talking points are repeated that make no sense?

How many become enraged when you question the narrative?

How many behave like they’ve been absorbed into a cult?

That’s what happens when a political movement trains millions to surrender their judgment and react emotionally on command.
