Could Sweden Become First Cashless Society?

The Bible is clear.  A day is coming when everyone on planet earth will need some type of mark on their hand or forehead to access the global financial system which is yet to come.  No cash will trade hands because the new system will be electronic and every transaction will be recorded.  The Bible says those who take the mark will forever give up their chance at salvation through Christ.  It also says that those who refuse the mark will be targeted for death by the Antichrist.  Thankfully, Jesus will be coming for His Bride before this fateful day arrives so that is our blessed hope.  But signs of the coming cashless society are popping up everywhere.  This should be one more indicator of why we shouldn’t be surprised if the trumpet were to blow sometime really soon.

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

FROM THE FINANCIAL POST: Few countries have been moving toward a cashless society as fast as Sweden. But cash is being squeezed out so quickly — with half the nation’s retailers predicting they will stop accepting bills before 2025 — that the government is recalculating the societal costs of a cash-free future.

The financial authorities, who once embraced the trend, are asking banks to keep peddling notes and coins until the government can figure out what going cash-free means for young and old consumers. The central bank, which predicts cash may fade from Sweden, is testing a digital currency — an e-krona — to keep firm control of the money supply. Lawmakers are exploring the fate of online payments and bank accounts if an electrical grid fails or servers are thwarted by power failures, hackers or even war.

“When you are where we are, it would be wrong to sit back with our arms crossed, doing nothing, and then just take note of the fact that cash has disappeared,” said Stefan Ingves, governor of Sweden’s central bank, known as the Riksbank. “You can’t turn back time, but you do have to find a way to deal with change.”

ASK MOST PEOPLE IN SWEDEN HOW OFTEN THEY PAY WITH CASH AND THE ANSWER IS “ALMOST NEVER.” A FIFTH OF SWEDES, IN A COUNTRY OF 10 MILLION PEOPLE, DO NOT USE AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINES ANYMORE. MORE THAN 4,000 SWEDES HAVE IMPLANTED MICROCHIPS IN THEIR HANDS, ALLOWING THEM TO PAY FOR RAIL TRAVEL AND FOOD, OR ENTER KEYLESS OFFICES, WITH A WAVE. RESTAURANTS, BUSES, PARKING LOTS AND EVEN PAY TOILETS DEPEND ON CLICKS RATHER THAN CASH.

Another Conservative Banned From Twitter

You know there are problems with the First Amendment when you say something truthful and you get silenced.  

Muslims are anti Jewish.  Homosexuals are oppressed by Islam.  Muslim women are forced to wear hijabs.  These are facts that you can plainly see in Muslim dominated societies all over the world.  But today in America you can bash Christianity all day long and the leftists will laugh, but you better not point out anything unflattering towards Islam or Muslims lest you find yourself in a heap of trouble.

Far-right activist Laura Loomer became the latest conservative figure to be kicked off Twitter when her account was shut down Wednesday.

Loomer said she was told by the platform that her account violated its rules against hateful conduct after she sent a tweet criticizing Minnesota Rep.-elect Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and her Muslim faith.

In the tweet in question, Loomer called Omar "anti Jewish" and said she is a member of a religion in which "homosexuals are oppressed" and "women are abused" and "forced to wear the hijab." Omar is the first Somali refugee and among two of the first Muslim women to be elected to Congress.

Why Is Turkey Aligning With Russia and Iran?

Here is your headline which points directly at the coming fulfillment of Ezekiel 38.  As the article says Moscow, Tehran and Ankara are now more anti-Western than at any point in recent memory.  After the rapture America will fold up and there will be no one country willing to stand in the way of these 3 powerful militaries...but the God of Israel will arrive in perfect time to defend His client nation.

Turkey is infuriating Trump by aligning with Iran and Russia – is it time to kick them out of NATO?

There are several reasons for Ankara’s emerging alignment with Tehran and Moscow. First, the ascension of Recep Tayyip Erdogan to the Turkish presidency in 2014—a move that marked his consolidation of power after over a decade as prime minister—signaled a shift in the country’s politics. Erdogan has empowered religious factions and moved the country away from Ankara’s celebrated secularism, which dates back to its founder, Kemal Ataturk, in the early twentieth century. Erdogan’s worldview shares many tenets with those of the Islamic Republic and Russia. Like Moscow and Tehran, Ankara is now more anti-Western than at any point in recent memory. In that sense, Turkey is pivoting away from NATO and toward the two revisionist powers.

52 yr Old Man Identifies as 6 yr Old Girl

You need to watch this video.  Further confirmation that the left has lost their minds.

This husband and father of 7 kids decided that he is a 6 yr old girl.  And of course, the left won't say he's got psychological problems...nope!  They will tell the rest of us that we all need to AGREE with this pervert and CELEBRATE his choice or we will be labeled as TRANSPHOBIC and a whole host  of other phobic words.

God Changes Trajectory of Hamas Missiles

The God of Israel NEVER sleeps and he never even slumbers.

Hamas seems to be a little miffed that they shoot missiles at Israel and then God redirects them to land in places where little damage or loss of life will result.

This isn't the first time we have heard of this.  We remember reading articles where missiles were set to land directly on an Israeli train station during rush hour that would have killed numerous people when out of nowhere a giant wind came up and blew the missile into an uninhabited space.

Hamas terrorists are complaining that Israel’s God is changing the direction of their rockets mid-air.
News 24 reported:

Headlines in Israel claim miracles are protecting the Jews during the Gaza Strip ground war, with one headline proclaiming that Hamas terrorists are complaining about God changing the direction of rockets in mid-air.

In a related report by The Inquisitr, Hamas leader are worth millions of dollars and critics claim they have been skimming money from donations. The issue of donations also came up in regards to the support provided to the Gaza Strip by Israel since the Hamas tunnels were built with cement provided by the government.

As the Gaza ground war has heated up, there has also been a surge of anti-Israel demonstrations which have turned into chaos where looting and car burning has taken place. The war in Gaza has caused some to question whether Israel has the right to defend itselfand its citizens, with Hamas clearly answering “no” to that question.

Are Democrats the Party of Antichrist?

Some of you may be familiar with a woman by the name of Star Parker.  She is a columnist and ex-liberal who was raised on welfare but became a conservative when her eyes were opened to how welfare enslaves its users.  She also happens to be black...which makes her a real problem for Democrats.

Because of its support for abortion on demand, including in the ninth month of pregnancy, the Democratic Party is "evil" and is "the party of Anti-Christ," said conservative author and activist Star Parker, the founder of CURE, the Center for Urban Renewal and Education. 

Parker made her remarks during a Facebook Live interview earlier this year with Patrina Mosley, the director of Life, Culture, and Women's Advocacy at the Family Research Council. 

Mosley spoke about Rep. Steve Cohen's (D-Tenn.) support for abortion and the donations given to liberal lawmakers by the abortion industry and asked Parker why that "symbiotic connection is there"? 

Parker, author of Uncle Sam's Plantation: How Big Government Enslaves America's Poor, said, “Well, the Democrats have always been the party of control. They are the party of slavery, they are the party of Jim Crow, they are the party of the welfare state."

"So, I am not surprised that the Democrats are invested so heavily in making sure that the truth is not out," she said.  

"The people that saw [the exchange with Rep. Cohen] were surprised, I suppose—in particular, those that are voting for Democrats," said Parker. "I don’t think that they understand how evil that the Democrat Party has become and how entrenched it is in the Democrat philosophy and their platform—abortion, killing what God calls His reward.”

“It is the party of anti-Christ,” she said. 

“They do not believe anything of Scripture," said Parker.  "When the Bible says don’t do something, they want to do it. When the Bible says do do something, they don’t want to."

Amen!  It's so true!!  If the Bible says to NOT DO SOMETHING then the Democrats are all for it!!

Because most Democrats have now rejected the fact that God/Jesus is the Creator of all that we can see, their minds have been given over to foolishness.  Their thinking has become futile.  They are now in the process of gathering up God's wrath to be poured out on them and they scoff at any talk of judgment.  They have become the party of perverts.

As you read Romans 1, think about how perfectly this applies to the party of perversion who believes that you can identify as any sex, race, age or species that you desire.  They have lost their minds.

Romans 1

¹⁸ The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, ¹⁹ since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. ²⁰ For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

²¹ For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. ²² Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools ²³ and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

²⁴ Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. ²⁵ They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

²⁶ Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. ²⁷ In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

²⁸ Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.

Witch Numbers on the Rise in USA

Sorry for lack of activity since last Tuesday but I was out of state and away from all computers.

This headline shouldn’t surprise us too much as USA continues to drift away from God and reverence for His Word.  People have a need to worship and believe in something beyond themselves. Jesus said you are either for him or against him...and Wiccans, pagans and witches are definitely against Jesus of the Bible.

A report in the Christian Post contends that the number of witches (and Wiccans) has dramatically increased since the 1990s, to the degree that there may be at least 1.5 million witches in the United States, which is higher than the 1.4 million mainline Presbyterians.

"[T]he practice of witchcraft has grown significantly in recent decades; those who identify as witches has risen concurrently with the rise of the 'witch aesthetic,'" reported the Christian Post in October, citing data from Quartz, a Trinity College study, and the Pew Research Center.

Between 1990 and 2008, the number of Wiccans in the United States grew from 8,000 to 340,000, according to three religious surveys conducted by Trinity College in Connecticut. In addition, the Pew Research Center reported in 2014 that 0.4% of the population -- 1 to 1.5 million Americans -- "identify as Wicca or Pagan."
