Arabs of Palestine Are Concluding the World Isn't Buying Their Beliefs

The Arabs who call themselves "Palestinians" have been fighting for 40+ years to try and get their own nation.  They have fabricated lies about who they are and how they got there in hopes that if they repeat them long enough that one day the world will believe the lies.

Ever since Trump took office and pointed out that Jerusalem is the eternal capital of Israel....the "Palestinian" cause seems to be fizzling.

While threatening to thwart Trump’s peace plan, the Palestinians are discovering that they are the only ones in the Arab world who oppose it.

The Palestinian Authority (PA) has been working hard to persuade the Arab countries to support its position in the standoff with the US administration.

The PA leadership in Ramallah fears that without the backing of the Arab countries, the US administration will “impose” President Donald Trump’s “deal of the century” — the yet-to-be-announced plan for peace in the Middle East.

The Arab countries, however, appear to be preoccupied with other matters. For now, the Palestinians are getting much lip service from their Arab brothers, including promises to put pressure on the Trump administration possibly to “modify” its plan to make it less “harmful” to Palestinian demands and aspirations.

What is actually happening is that the PA leadership is terrified that many of the Arab countries will support the Trump plan, thus abandoning their Palestinian brothers and leaving them exposed to international pressure to accept the “deal of the century.” This fear does not seem to be unjustified.

Palestinian officials have already voiced concern that Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan and some Gulf countries are in collusion with the Trump administration to “impose” the peace plan, the details of which have yet to be made public.

These Arab countries, the Palestinians point out, have endorsed a more pragmatic and conciliatory approach towards the reputed peace plan and are no longer expressing strong opposition to it, despite Palestinian claims that the main points of the “deal of the century” endorse the positions of the Israeli government.

Unlike the Palestinians, the Arab countries are obviously not interested in ruining their relations with the US administration. Their comments are likely more about preserving good relations with Washington than supporting the policies of the Israeli government.

Remember how the leftists screamed that war and chaos would result by Trump's Jerusalem announcement?

Yeah....that hasn't happened at all.  And in fact it might be the very thing that God uses to bring together a peace plan for that region....maybe a peace plan that the Antichrist will CONFIRM when he shows up?

It certainly does seem like Trump could be God's man for the times.

Keep praying for him and all the leaders of America.

Health Benefits of Sex

This was a headline that scrolled across my Google News today;

10 health benefits of having more sex

So of course they have beautiful photos of lovely men and women looking at each other with desire and smiles as the text below the picture tells of the health benefits of more sex.

But wait.....that's not politically correct to just show men and women looking at each other with desire!

So CNN just HAD to show some lesbian women and gay men looking at each other with desire.

So it's funny to me that in the last photo, the text says;

In case you didn't know it, sex can also make a baby. And that can be good for you. Studies show that people with kids living at home tend to have more money and are more highly educated and in better health.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/01/health/health-benefits-of-sex-parallels/index.html

Hey CNN!  You should clarify to all your politically correct readers that sex between the gay men and lesbian women that you photographed can not, in fact, make a baby.

You should clarify that before you end up offending gays and lesbians everywhere.

Indonesians Kill Rare Tiger They Believed Was a Shapeshifter

As some conservatives have repeated....some cultures really are better than other cultures.

Today we see more ignorance coming out of Muslim dominated societies.

Indonesian villagers kill rare tiger after believing it was a shapeshifter, conservation officials say

Remote Indonesian villagers who were becoming increasingly fearful that a shapeshifter was hiding out in their community killed and disemboweled a rare Sumatran tiger on Sunday because they thought it harnessed supernatural powers, conservation officials say.

The bloodied carcass of the critically endangered big cat was photographed Sunday hanging from beams covering a public gathering space in Hatupangan in north Sumatra.

"Unfortunately they would not listen. They insisted on killing the tiger," Hotmauli Sianturi, the regional head of Indonesia’s Natural Resources Conservation Agency, told Sky News. "After killing the animal, the locals hung up its body for display. It's very regrettable."

Authorities investigating the killing have discovered that the tiger is missing canine teeth, claws and skin off its face and tail – all body parts that can be used in medicine or sold in the black market, according to Reuters.

Activists said the tiger had been prowling in the area for more than a month and injured one person before it was tracked down and executed, the news agency added.

"The tiger was sleeping under a resident's stilt house when the people struck him repeatedly in the abdomen with a spear," Lion Muslim Nasution, an official in the Batang Natal subdistrict– where the village is located – told the Jakarta Post.

Nasution said the locals were aware of the tiger’s endangered status but were overcome by rumors and fears that a shapeshifter was lurking in the village.

Here;  http://www.foxnews.com/world/2018/03/05/indonesian-villagers-kill-rare-tiger-after-believing-it-was-shapeshifter-conservation-officials-say.html

I'm all for killing cows, pigs and animals for food or to protect your family, but it seems rather pathetic in the 21st century to kill one of the last remaining tigers because you thought it was a shapeshifter....whatever that is.

Why Do We Keep Watching?

The Lord awakened me to prophecy about 12 years ago.  I started blogging here on this blog about 10 years ago.  Today the headlines coming in from around the world with prophetic significance are even greater than they were 10 years ago.

So why do we keep watching?  Isn't it all just a colossal waste of time?  Can't we just live our lives the best way we can and leave the rapture timing to Jesus?

"What I say to you, I say to everyone, "Watch!"--said Jesus.

Here's a great article from Rapture Ready on this topic.

I actually thought the rapture was occurring. I heard a trumpet blaring, and for a brief moment I felt as though something was pulling me upward.

This happened when I was in college, over 40 year ago, during a time when I had been reading extensively about the rapture. Late one warm afternoon, I fell asleep at my desk in my dorm room. Suddenly, the sound of a loud trumpet fanfare awoke me from a deep sleep, and I thought “This is it; the Lord is returning!” After a few seconds, I realized it was the sound of a trumpet warming up for a nearby band rehearsal.

I tell this humorous experience to stress that I have been watching for the Lord’s return for a long time, although not always that intently. After so many decades I do sometimes wonder, “Why do I keep watching? Why do any of us keep looking for Jesus to come and take us home?”

It’s the Signs

Unlike when I was in college, today we see signs of biblical prophecies escalating all around us. The countries of Iran, Russian, and Turkey all have troops in Syria just as Ezekiel 38-39 predicts about an alliance of these same nations in the last days. Just this week the world learned the following:

>Iran is building a military base just eight miles north of Damascus that will soon have missiles capable of striking anywhere in Israel.

>North Korea has shipped components for chemical weapons to Syria along with building materials for a facility to build these weapons.

>Russia said it would regard any nuclear attack on one of its allies as an attack on Russia. (Could they be thinking that Israel might consider using such weapons against the Iranian base?)

>Putin, the president of Russia, recently boasted of new nuclear capabilities on rockets that will travel several times the speed of sound, rendering our defenses useless.

>Russia has stationed super stealth jets in Syria, perhaps as an added deterrent to Israel attacking the Iranian base.

>A top military leader in Israel stated that a major war between Israel and Iran is likely in 2018.

What do all these things mean? When (not if) Israel attacks this Iranian base, the likelihood of it leading to major conflict appears almost certain.

Could this be the Gog-Magog War of Ezekiel 38-39? We cannot know for certain. Even if it is a lessor conflict than the one the prophet predicted long ago, will it not almost certainly lead to the bigger war of Ezekiel 38-39 as Iran re-gathers its strength to invade Israel?

Add to the mix the recent Iranian Parliament request for a timetable of one or two years for pulling its troops out of Syria. Is it possible that Iran, along with Russia and Turkey, will strike before then? I believe if Iran’s Parliament enacts such a deadline, it’s likely this coalition will attack before that time.

What Do These Signs Have to Do with the Rapture?

At this point, you may be wondering what these signs have to do with the rapture. Why does the nearness of the Gog-Magog War point to the Lord’s return for His church?

Such a war would signify that the tribulation period is extremely close. Some commentators believe this war happens just before the Great Tribulation, while some hold that it might happen right at its beginning. Either way, the nearness of this war points to the closeness of the seven-year time of God’s wrath upon the earth.

If the tribulation is rapidly approaching, and many signs point to it, then the rapture must be even closer since it is prophesied to happen just before the start of the Great Tribulation.

The growing turmoil in Syria and Iran’s constant threats against Israel are just two of numerous signs that we are living in the days of human history as we know it. If there was ever a time in history when the rapture could happen at any moment, this is it!

The Early Church Watched, Too

Long, long before my experience in college at John Brown University, the earliest followers of Jesus also watched intently for His appearing to take them home. We see it all through the New Testament, as turning to Christ meant waiting eagerly for Him to come (1 Thess.1:9-10; Phil. 3:20-21; Titus 2:11-13).

The Didache, which means “teaching” in the Greek, is a brief document from the early years of the church that provides valuable insight into the anticipation of early believers for the return of Jesus. This document summed up the teaching of the apostles at a time when copies of the New Testament were not available or scarce at best. It provides a summary of what the apostles taught.

Chapter 16 of The Didache says this, “Watch for your life’s sake. Let not your lamps be quenched, nor your loins unloosed; but be ready, for you know not the hour in which our Lord will come.”

These words indicate an immanency regarding the Lord’s appearing, such as would be the case for someone expecting Jesus’ return to occur at any moment. The early saints regarded Jesus’ command in Matthew 24:44 to mean they must watch for His appearing. They had the same expectancy as the New Testament saints.

I admit that after all these years it’s at times difficult to keep up a sense of watchfulness. However, I then consider the signs and I also wonder about Israel’s upcoming seventieth anniversary, the moving of the US embassy to Jerusalem on May 14, 2018, and the new peace plan that is coming out soon from the United States.

As I hear about all these things added on to the events in Syria, my sense of eager watchfulness returns. It’s possible Jesus will return for us quite soon!

Also please remember that Jeremiah warned Judah of pending judgment coming from God for 40 years before it actually happened.  Also please remember that WE ARE THE FIRST GENERATION to have the technology in place to actually fulfill all that is written.  For the past 2000 years people would read Revelation and throw up their hands and say "Who can understand it?  It's simply impossible for the world to have a single currency!  There's no way the whole world could witness something happening in Jerusalem!"

Well, today we CAN understand it.

We don't know the day or the hour that our Lord will come for His bride...but I wouldn't be surprised if it happened anytime.  And when it does happen, it will undoubtedly be a lot sooner than anyone thought.

Trump’s Peace Plan for Israel Could Happen?

Remember what Daniel 9 tells us....that the Antichrist will CONFIRM a covenant (agreement) that has been put in place for the Jews of Israel and their enemies.

This is the single event that will then kick off the final 7 years...that's why many watchers refer to it as "The 70th Week of Daniel".

So we continue to watch for someone to draw up a peace agreement for Israel.

The Palestinian Authority (PA) has been working hard to persuade the Arab countries to support its position in the standoff with the US administration.

The PA leadership in Ramallah fears that without the backing of the Arab countries, the US administration will "impose" President Donald Trump's "deal of the century" -- the yet-to-be-announced plan for peace in the Middle East.

The Arab countries, however, appear to be preoccupied with other matters.

This fear does not seem to be unjustified.

Palestinian officials have already voiced concern that Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan and some Gulf countries are in collusion with the Trump administration to "impose" the peace plan, the details of which have yet to be made public.

These Arab countries, the Palestinians point out, have endorsed a more pragmatic and conciliatory approach towards the reputed peace plan and are no longer expressing strong opposition to it, despite Palestinian claims that the main points of the "deal of the century" endorse the positions of the Israeli government.

Unlike the Palestinians, the Arab countries are obviously not interested in ruining their relations with the US administration. Their comments are likely more about preserving good relations with Washington than supporting the policies of the Israeli government.

The Palestinians appear to be the only ones in the Arab world who are coming out on a daily basis against a plan no one has seen.

Hardly a day passes without a Palestinian official warning against Trump's plan of "liquidation" or "slap of the century," as some have begun referring to it. The Palestinians say they are also determined to foil the plan, notwithstanding the consequences.

"The Palestinians don't care about the date when Trump's plan will be announced because they reject it," said Nabil Sha'ath, a former PA foreign minister who serves as a senior advisor to President Mahmoud Abbas.


"What has already been leaked about the plan is sufficient for us to reject it. We won't accept an American plan that allows the US to restore its exclusivity over the peace process. If Washington wants to contribute to the peace process, it must be within the framework of an international multilateral forum."

In the past few weeks, the PA leadership has been campaigning to muster Arab support for its opposition to the Trump plan. So far, however, the Palestinian effort has been only partially successful, if at all.

At a recent meeting in Brussels of Arab foreign ministers with their EU counterparts, the Palestinians demanded that the Arab countries endorse their position towards the Trump plan. The Palestinians are also pressing for a larger EU role in the peace process with Israel so that the US would no longer have exclusivity over peacemaking.

However, the Arab response to the Palestinian campaign has been disappointing for the Palestinians.


The Arab ministers rejected the Palestinian demand to diminish the US role in the peace process. "We don't want to exclude the American role, which remains a major one," the Arab ministers reportedly told the Palestinians.

https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/11995/palestinians-arabs-apathy

There are many people who believe that Donald Trump COULD BE the President of the US put in that position by God himself to usher in the very Last Days.

He has set up Jerusalem to be the cup of trembling as nations wonder what to do....so how about setting up a peace plan for Israel and it's Arab neighbors?

All we can do is watch.

Alexa Laughs at Creepy Times

Alexa is supposed to be just a machine that sits there until you talk to it.

But what if Alexa starts doing creepy things all on her own? 

There are plenty of stories of artificial intelligence gone wrong.

But recent reports from owners of Amazon Alexa devices are being called 'bone chillingly creepy.'

Some users say their Alexa-enabled gadgets start laughing totally unprompted. 

One user reportedly tried to turn the lights off in their home but Alexa repeatedly turned the lights back on, eventually uttering an 'evil laugh,' according to BuzzFeed. 

Another Echo Dot owner said they told Alexa to turn off their alarm in the morning and she responded by letting out a 'witch-like' laugh. 

Alexa is programmed in many voice-activated devices with a preset laugh, which can be prompted by asking: 'Alexa, how do you laugh?'

But so far, it's unclear why Alexa is laughing even when users don't ask her to.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-5470379/amp/Amazons-Alexa-voice-assistant-wont-stop-randomly-laughing.html?__twitter_impression=true

Yep....that's creepy.

Is it interesting that some of the smartest men in the world are warning us that AI could be the most dangerous thing to ever confront humanity?

Magnetic Strips in $20 Bills May Be Coming Soon

The Federal Reserve was established about 105 years ago.  It's not owned by the Federal Government.  They can now print as much money as they deem necessary to keep America going in the "right direction".  Of course we have had that privilege since winning WWII and making the US Dollar the world's ONLY reserve currency.  One thing that means is that we can issue Treasury Bonds and pay them back with printed dollars!!  What a deal!!

Since they took over our dollar currency, the value of the dollar has decreased by 96%.

Now there are many of us who wonder if the Fed has played it's last cards during the real estate fiasco of 2008?

Let's think about it real quick.  In 2000 there was a Nasdaq stock market crash that people refer to as the DOT.COM crash.  It was mainly tech stocks and didn't affect a great deal of Americans but the Fed decided to act and lower interest rates to make sure that people would keep borrowing money to buy crap....since that the ONLY way America works today is with people borrowing money.

So as one bubble popped, the FED decided to create another one.  This time in real estate which affects WAY more people.

Since Americans don't really care what things cost, they care more about the monthly payment, you can see that when the FED lowered interest rates from 8% mortgages to 5% mortgages it's going to make the price of houses go up.

As the prices went up, many Americans started to get drunk on real estate appraisals.  They saw that there $100K house was now appraised at $200k and they started to believe that it's value was going to double about ever 5-7 years and make them multi millionaires in the next 20 years!

But even worse is that those same folks wanted to get at that newly created $100k of HOME EQUITY and they wanted to spend it today on boats, trucks, jet skis, snowmobiles and ATV's.  This then heated up the stock market as people started buying billions of dollars worth of stuff by using created "wealth" from their homes.

So they kept pulling money out of their home by increasing their mortgage.

Of course the bottom fell out of this in 2008-2009 and people stood around and marveled at the carnage.  Millions of folks were upside down on their homes which now appraised for $100k even though they now owed $200k.

The FED responded by lowering interest rates to basically 0% in hopes they could keep people borrowing money by making it free.

For the past 7 years now, that's where interest rates have been at the banks...basically 0%.

Now what happens if we run into another recession later this year for whatever reason?

Interest rates are already at 0% so the FED would have no choice but to make them negative.

This means that if you had $100k sitting in a savings account at Wells Fargo that they would now charge you 1%-2%-3% or more per year to leave your money there.

"Well Dennis, if they ever did that, I would just march down there and take my 1000 hundred dollar bills and bring them home and put them in my gun safe!!"

Exactly!!  But yet the FED can't allow that because they would then lose control so they will take a page from what already happened in India last year.  They will have no choice but to make the $100 bill null and void.

"Well if they did that I would just have to ask them for 5000 twenty dollar bills!"

For this reason it is already being floated by the FED to reissue all $20 bills with magnetic strips in them.

Why?

So they would know when the bill left someone's pocket to buy something and they would be able to calculate how long you held that bill before spending it.  They would then be able to assess you with a negative interest rate EVEN IF ALL YOUR MONEY WAS HELD IN CASH!!

"Dennis, that has to be the most far-fetched bag of dog crap I have ever heard!!"

Trump’s Federal Reserve Pick Wants to Put Metal Chips in Cash to Track Every Dollar and Tax It

In the state’s relentless pursuit to scrutinize and control every citizen, including monitoring, tracking, and especially taxing their income, untraceable physical cash has long been a shield against such tyranny. However, thanks to Donald Trump’s nomination to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, anonymous purchases, deposits, and savings with cash could soon be a thing of the past.

In November 2017, central banking proponent and Keynesian economist Marvin Goodfriend was nominated by President Donald Trump to fill one of the vacancies on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. He was then confirmed by the U.S. Senate Banking Committee to advance.

Goodfriend is a central banking insider who’s spent decades moving in and out of government and central banks and his ideas are nothing short of Orwellian.

While his resume may make him seem like a qualified member of the corrupt and insidious Federal Reserve System, he’s proposed and openly advocated for one of the most horrific plans a free society (somewhat) has ever seen—tracking cash.

Goodfriend’s idea was to insert magnetic strips into the bills. Each time the cash was returned to a bank, the money would be taxed at a pre-determined rate. That would discourage individuals from hoarding cash and remove one obstacle for central bankers in setting negative rates.

Here;  http://thefreethoughtproject.com/trumps-federal-reserve-track-cash/

The Bible says a day is coming when cash won't work.  You will have to be part of the electronic system to buy or sell anything.

The fact that the WAR ON CASH has already begun should get us to wake up and NOT BE SURPRISED as we careen down the path to Armageddon.

Muslim Man Tries to Build Army of Terrorist Children

It makes one wonder how many heinous things followers of Muhammad would have to do before the leftists would say, "Hmmm....I wonder if their is an inherent problem with the dogma and beliefs of Muslims that MIGHT BE a threat to our way of life in The West?....hmmmm?...."

Today we find another Muslim doing his best to come up with a new a different idea to try and attack his host country of England.

A self-styled teacher in London has been found guilty of terror offenses stemming from what police called his attempts to create “an army of children” that could carry out terror attacks in the British capital.

Umar Haque, 25, tried to radicalize children between the ages of 11 and 14, London authorities said, with his offenses taking place while he taught Islamic studies at a private religious school in the city. Haque did not have any teaching qualifications and was not specifically employed as a teacher but rather an administrator.

Children who had once been in Haque’s classes detailed to police how he had given them strength training and made them re-enact the Westminster attack carried out by Khalid Masood.

Dean Haydon, the head of the Counter Terrorism Command at the London Metropolitan Police, said that Haque had shown the children videos of terror attacks and beheadings. “Haque was a dangerous man who was inspired by attacks in Europe and Westminster. He wanted to orchestrate numerous attacks at once, using guns, knives, bombs and large cars to kill innocent people.

“We recovered a number of exercise books from his home, and it was evident from his notes that his plan was a long-term one. He intended to execute his plan years later, by which time he anticipated he would have trained and acquired an army of soldiers, including children,” Haydon said.

The school previously had outstanding ratings from government inspectors, Reuters reported, with police saying that the children had been terrified by Haque into staying silent.

“The children were paralyzed by fear of Haque, who they understood to have connections to terrorists and who essentially told them that a violent fate would befall them if they told anyone what he was doing. They were too afraid to confide in anyone,” Haydon said.

Police said that Haque was attempting to radicalize 55 children, all of whom had now received safeguarding support. Of them, 35 were assessed to need longer-term support.

And yet the ELCA Lutherans, many Methodists, Presbyterians and Catholics will all look at these folks and say, "Boy, sure am glad they are worshiping and praying to same God that we are!  Isn't it wonderful how committed they are to praying 5 times per day!  Maybe we could invite some Muslim Imam into our church to tell us how he gets his congregants so dedicated to following god!  Sure there are a few bad apples among them but we have a few bad apples in our church too!  Don't judge lest ye be judged!"

You think I'm kidding?  I'm not.  I heard a Professor from St Thomas college in St Paul address a Catholic men's group about 5 years ago.  It's pretty much verbatim of what he said. 

The Catholics have NO PLANS to evangelize the Muslims because they love the WORKS that Muslims have to do in an attempt to reach their god, Allah....and the Catholics are impressed by good works that they believe will get them to heaven.

Jesus plainly tells us that there will be many people at the Great White Throne who are trying to argue with judge Jesus about why they should be let in.  We know there will be folks here from many churches who sat in the pews for 50 years but never really knew Jesus....BUT...we wonder if this passage doesn't point more specifically at Catholics who are really the only denomination known for driving out demons.  Just a thought anyway.....

Matthew 7
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

Why Do Jews Vote For Democrats?

Have you ever wondered why American Jews seem to vote for Obama and other Democrats?  Why would they favor politicians who don't have much care for Israel and even cavort with anti-Semitic leaders?

Here's a very interesting article and explanation.

 Possibly one of the oddest wonders in politics is the affinity for the Democratic Party, and the Left at large, among American Jews. In fact, when polled before the 2016 election by the Israeli newspaper, Ha’aretz, 70% of Jews preferred Hillary Clinton to Donald Trump. This ratio has remained approximately the same throughout other presidential elections and was the exact same percentage of the Jewish vote won by Barack Obama in his 2012 reelection.

But the question is clear — why? Why would Jews vote for a party that has a long history of anti-Israel sentiments, which continue to grow? Why would they vote for an ideology that embraces anti-Semitic radicals?

Sadly, this is not hyperbole, as there are many examples of anti-Semitic incidents on the Left. Former president Barack Obama was notoriously cold toward Israel for most of his presidency, and showed it often, from lifting sanctions on Iran with the help of Secretary of State John Kerry and Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes, to humiliating Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and by abstaining from a crucial U.N. vote demanding any Israeli building in the “occupied territories” cease immediately. In fact, in January, a 2005 photo of Obama and Louis Farrakhan, the notorious anti-Semitic leader of the Nation of Islam, emerged, and it was found that the Congressional Black Caucus hid it so Obama’s political career would not be damaged as a result.

But Obama and his administration aren’t the only culprits in this anti-Semitic characterization of the Left. Deputy DNC chair Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, also has a long history of being anti-Israel, including his relationship with Farrakhan. According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Ellison attended a dinner with Farrakhan and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in 2013, although Ellison denies that he knew who would be at the dinner in advance and disavows “anti-Semitism and bigotry in all of its forms."

So, why do American Jews overwhelmingly vote Democrat and lean Left?

The answer is simple and can possibly apply to other religions as well. The vast majority of Jews in the United States are secular, or, in other words, a Jew in name only. This translates into calling themselves Jewish but in truth much of American Jewry has little to no connection to Judaism at all. And as a person moves further away from religion, he needs something to fill the void that God should be occupying.

That void, by design, is filled by the State. This is the Progressive Left’s doctrine. The government takes care of a person cradle to grave, and the individual has no one else to turn to for any of his needs. This is one reason why the Left vehemently detests religion altogether.

Here;  https://www.dailywire.com/news/27822/frankel-american-jews-must-realize-once-and-all-jeremy-frankel

Amazing!  It's SOOO true!  The left wants the government to take care of you from cradle to grave which is why they detest religion....unless you are a Muslim...and for now the left wants to defend those folks who they believe are downtrodden.

Death to America!

Iran teaches its schoolkids to open their day with a shout, "Death to America!"

The leftists in defenders of Islam in America say we should just ignore that because it doesn't really mean anything.

Really?  Then why do they say it?

Let's read what a Muslim actually has to say about this.

One of the most astonishing misconceptions I have come across in the West is the habit that some people -- especially many media outlets -- have of attempting to trivialize radical Islamists chants such as "Death to America", "Death to Israel", and "Death to Britain". Even government officials tend to reduce these outbursts of hatred from the threats they really are to common banter.

Some of the so-called leftists, as well as agents of the extremist Muslim groups in the West, or spokesmen for the Islamic Republic of Iran, try to explain that these chants do not mean what they say, and what most people probably assume they say. Some sympathizers with extremist Muslims even try to insist that these messages are merely examples of "cultural differences". The purpose of these sympathizers is seemingly to mislead a vulnerable populace into thinking that they should not worry about those chants or about the open and passionate threats against their communities.

This dumbing-down is especially intriguing because the same people who attempt culturally to explain, justify or minimize the meaning of "Death to America" and "Death to Israel" have never lived under Islamic rule or even studied those fundamentalist states. Yet they take it upon themselves to explain the meaning of these chants as if they know better than the people issuing them.

The objective of these sympathizers seems clear: to coax Westerners into a false sense of security and encourage them not to take these threats seriously. These sympathizers stress the importance of not being alarmed by these chants, and try to convince the public that being afraid is a simply sign of ignorance. Ultimately this conditioning of the Western culture allows the extremist Muslims to expand their agenda slowly and covertly, while those who raise the alarm are shoved to edge of society and ostracized as "racists" or "Islamophobes", while the public remains lulled into a slumbering state.

I grew up being taught every morning in school to raise my fist and chant loudly "Death to America", "Death to Israel" and "Death to Britain". There was no confusion as to the meaning of those chants. If I did not do so, I was severely punished. Unfortunately, "Death to" means exactly what it says.

There are countless examples of followers committing such acts: the Berlin Christmas market attack; The Los Angeles International Airport shooting; the murders of the staff of the French satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo or the Parisian kosher supermarket; the Little Rock recruiting office shooting by the jihadist Addulhakim Muhajid Muhammad; the Fort Hood shooting by a U..S. army psychiatrist, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, whose business cards read SoA: Soldier of Allah; the Boston Marathon bombings; the terrorist attack with a hatchet against four New York policemen on a subway; the San Bernardino attack, the mass shooting at a nightclub in Orlando, Florida, the Ohio State University attack, the United States embassy bombings in Dar es Salaam and Nairobi, and in 2017 the Lower Manhattan attack, just to name a few. That does not even start to mention the attacks in Israel, Australia, Canada or the Indian Subcontinent.

How many more examples need to be added to the list? How many acts of terror and innocent lives lost are needed before everyone, and the mainstream media, begin to recognize that yes, these chants mean "Death to America", "Death to Israel, and "Death to Britain"? They are very literal threats, meant to incite followers into murderous action. Let us not to continue delude ourselves and be misled by those who attempt to advance these Islamist agendas.

We have wondered it numerous times...but as you look at the delusion that seems to be taking over the leftists of America, could it be possible that it is a foreshadowing of the GREAT DELUSION mentioned in 2 Thessalonians?

Woman Tells National TV About Her Open Marriage

Do you want to know how far our society has fallen?  Watch this segment from NBC Today hosted by Megyn Kelly.  The author she is interviewing has a book out called the WILD OATS PROJECT.  In her book she chronicles the problems she and her husband of 10 years had which led to their mutual agreement to date other people.

Robin Rinaldi had been married nine years when she asked her husband to consider an open marriage. Now she joins Megyn Kelly TODAY to talk about the year they both spent having sex with other people, as chronicled in Rinaldi’s book, “The Wild Oats Project.” She says she had sex with 10 men and two women over 12 months: “I had a year; I had to get my bucket list done!” she jokes.

And of course all the women in the audience are gleefully accepting of this alternative marriage.

And of course this is the society in which we now all live...a society that mocks and shuns things of God.

And what would we hope to reap for our kids out of what we have sewn?
