Russia, Turkey & Iran in Headline Again

My readers know that Ezekiel 38 speaks of a coalition in the very last days of these 3 nations.

Come on!  You can’t make this stuff up!
********************

The presidents of Turkey, Iran and Russia gathered at Sochi on Russia’s Black Sea coast at the end of last week to discuss the situation in Syria in the latest of several high-profile gatherings of these countries to seek a way to end the conflict and to increase their coordination on regional issues.

This direct challenge to US power in the Middle East was scheduled to coincide with the US-led meeting in Warsaw that included calls by Washington to challenge Iran.

Israel Looking Forward to Trump Peace Plan

We know that when the Antichrist comes he will CONFIRM a peace plan that is already in place regarding Israel and it's hateful neighbors.

So could THIS BE the peace plan talked about?

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US Vice President Mike Pence met in Warsaw Thursday, where the Israeli leader said he was eager to learn details of the Trump administration’s peace plan for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

“I look forward to seeing the plan once it is presented,” Netanyahu said to Pence ahead of talks they held at the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews.

While they are saying "Peace and Safety" destruction will come upon them suddenly.

Zechariah says that 2/3 of the Jews will die in the coming Holocaust that the Antichrist will bring upon them.

Thank you Jesus that all your followers will have flown away before this dreadful day comes upon planet earth.

All Are Welcome Here

I still think this is a great idea!! 

Do you know there rainbow signs people put in their front yards that say "All are welcome here!"  It's supposed to show their community that they are welcoming of gays, transgenders, queers and lesbians.  But if ALL really are welcome into their homes, why don't we gather up the 500,000 homeless people who are pooping on the streets and shooting drugs with needles, and bring one each to these homes?

All means all!

If these uber-tolerant people refuse to let a homeless person use their guest bedroom, then I think we should make signs that say, INTOLERANT OF HOMELESS PEOPLE and pound it in the ground next to their ALL ARE WELCOME HERE sign.

It has been said that “as goes California, so goes the country”, and if this is where the rest of the nation is headed then we are in serious trouble.

When Bill Blain recently visited San Francisco, he was so horrified by what he encountered that he felt he must write about it…

I hope my American hosts will forgive me for raising this, but the squalor we saw in The City was frightful. San Francisco has always been one of favourite US cities, but the degree of homelessness, mental illness and drug abuse we saw on this trip was truly shocking. Walking round SF on a Sunday Morning and we saw sights we couldn’t believe. This must be one of the richest cities in the world – home to 4 of the 10 richest people on the planet according to Wiki. I asked friends about it, and they shrugged it off.. “The City has always attracted the homeless because of the mild weather,”.. “It’s a drug thing”.. “its too difficult”… “you get used to it..”

Well, I didn’t.

I found it quite shocking the number of folk sleeping rough on the sidewalks, the smell of weed and drug impedimenta everywhere, the filth, mental illness and degradation on view just a few meters from the financial centre driving Silicon Valley. It’s a city where the destitute seem to have become invisible to the Uber hailing elites. We found ourselves hopping on one of the beautiful F-Route Trolley Buses to find nearly every seat occupied by someone lugging around their worldly possessions around in a plastic bag. It was desperately sad.

San Francisco has a new mayor, and they are going to spend millions upon millions of dollars to try to clean up the streets.

But it won’t be easy to turn things around, because more drug users and homeless people are moving into the city every single day…

And San Francisco is generous. It offers street people food stamps, free shelter, train tickets and $70 a month in cash.

“They’re always offering resources,” one man dressed as Santa told us. “San Francisco’s just a good place to hang out.”

So, every week, new people arrive.

We like to think that we are setting a positive example to the rest of the world, but the truth is that they are laughing at us.

America is in an advanced state of decay, and it is getting worse with each passing year.

If we keep doing the same things we will keep getting the same results, and right now there are no signs that the overall direction of this nation will change any time soon.

Is Car-Mageddon Right Around the Corner?

Do you remember when 10-12 years ago before the real estate collapse when Hummer's and big pickup trucks were what every good American felt they needed to show they had arrived?  It's when gasoline went up to $4.25 per gallon and real estate prices fell by upward of 50% when everyone realized that maybe that's not such a great idea?

Of course the human memory is extremely short, so most Americans have already forgotten how scary the collapse of 2007-2008 actually was.  We weren't sure IF we were goings to find bottom when Lehmann Brothers collapsed.

So it really shouldn't surprise us that Americans have been embracing debt again!  We love our $80,000 trucks because gas is only $1.90/gallon and the payment is only $800/mo for 7 years with really low interest rate!  That's a good deal...right?

Debt has become an issue of concern for those who care about their financial future. But with the government setting the terrible example of drastically spending more than they bring in, many in America are following suit and it is leading to a crisis and a red flag for the economy.

Just on the heels of the United States government's debt surpassing $21 trillion comes the news that there are now a record number of Americans who are behind on their record high car payments. According to CNBC, more than 7 million Americans are at least 90 days behind on their auto loans, according to the New York Fed. This is a major concern, considering the average car payment in the U.S. is now $523.

"More and more people are buying too much car for what they can afford," said Ed Mierzwinski, senior director of U.S. PIRG's federal consumer program. Overall, auto debt accounts for about 9 percent of total U.S. consumer debt, up from 6 percent in late 2011, separate data from the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City show.

The amount of Americans currently in default of their car loans is higher than in 2010 when many were still reeling from the 2008 Great Recession, a statistic that is once again, showing that the U.S. economy may not be nearly as strong as the media's talking heads present. The "number of distressed borrowers suggests that not all Americans have benefited from the strong labor market and warrants continued monitoring and analysis of this sector," Fed economists say.

Auto debt has soared and with that comes people who cannot pay the bill they signed up for. The dramatic uptick in delinquencies came along with a dramatic $584 billion jump in total auto loan debt. That's the highest increase in car debt since the New York Fed began keeping track 19 years ago.

Most American's don't have $1000 and if they miss even one paycheck, their debt ridden lives would all start to collapse like a house of cards.

Knowing that most Americans have not surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ it would be safe to say that Mammon has become America's false god.  Should it really surprise us if our entire financial system, built on massive debt, collapses in a heap of rubble one day?

We hope it happens AFTER the rapture of the church...but it could happen tomorrow.  The signs of pending implosion are everywhere.

Foreshadowing of False Prophet

Yep!  The Pope!  We aren’t saying he’s the False Prophet, but if the trumpet had blown yesterday we believe he would be a prime candidate.
*************************************

The declaration signed by Pope Francis and Sheik Ahmad el-Tayeb, the grand imam of al-Azhar, during the pope’s trip to the United Arab Emirates “is a clarion call for robust dialogue that leads to peace,” said the Catholic chairman of the National Catholic-Muslim Dialogue and the chairman of the U.S. bishops’ Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs.

“In our increasingly hostile world in which violence too often predominates between Christians and Muslims — violence that has led to tragic consequences for the most vulnerable humans — we welcome with great joy this historic joint statement on human fraternity,” said Cardinal Blase J. Cupich of Chicago and Bishop Joseph C. Bambera of Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Pope Francis and Sheik el-Tayeb, a leading religious authority for many Sunni Muslims around the world, signed “A Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together” Feb. 4 in Abu Dhabi.

“We, who believe in God and in the final meeting with him and his judgment, on the basis of our religious and moral responsibility, and through this document, call upon ourselves, upon the leaders of the world as well as the architects of international policy and world economy, to work strenuously to spread the culture of tolerance and of living together in peace,” the document said.

Plummeting Insect Numbers "Threaten Collapse of Nature"

I believe it was Albert Einstein who told us if the bees disappeared that humans would be extinct about 3 years later.  Why?  Because bees pollinate a large percentage of our food.

Today we read this headline that nature could collapse.

We are going to guess that if nature collapses, then humans won't be far behind.

Remember what Jesus said would happen during the Great Tribulation?  Famines.

The world’s insects are hurtling down the path to extinction, threatening a “catastrophic collapse of nature’s ecosystems”, according to the first global scientific review.

More than 40% of insect species are declining and a third are endangered, the analysis found. The rate of extinction is eight times faster than that of mammals, birds and reptiles. The total mass of insects is falling by a precipitous 2.5% a year, according to the best data available, suggesting they could vanish within a century.

The planet is at the start of a sixth mass extinction in its history, with huge losses already reported in larger animals that are easier to study. But insects are by far the most varied and abundant animals, outweighing humanity by 17 times. They are “essential” for the proper functioning of all ecosystems, the researchers say, as food for other creatures, pollinators and recyclers of nutrients.

Insect population collapses have recently been reported in Germany and Puerto Rico, but the review strongly indicates the crisis is global. The researchers set out their conclusions in unusually forceful terms for a peer-reviewed scientific paper: “The [insect] trends confirm that the sixth major extinction event is profoundly impacting [on] life forms on our planet.

“Unless we change our ways of producing food, insects as a whole will go down the path of extinction in a few decades,” they write. “The repercussions this will have for the planet’s ecosystems are catastrophic to say the least.”

We believe this is more evidence that the world is groaning.  It's groaning in its desire to leave the curse that it's been under since Adam and Eve chose sin. 

One day soon, Jesus will sit on David's throne and the lion will lay down with the lamb, the child will play with a poisonous snake with no fear and the ground will put forth crops so fast that they harvester will follow the planter after a very short period of time.

What a day that will be!!

Muslim Congresswoman From Minnesota

The goofball from Minnesota elected to Congress has said some pretty damning things.  Do you think the MSM will hold her feet to the fire?  Of course not!  She's a woman and a Muslim...so they will do everything they can to defend her statements....or at least ignore them.

Resurfaced video shows Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar defending the actions of those behind a terrorist attack in 2013, stating it was “a reaction” to “our involvement in other people’s affairs.”

In the video, Omar is questioned during a local television interview about the deadly brutal al-Shabab attack on a Kenyan shopping mall in 2013 that resulted in 71 total deaths and wounded approximately 200 people.

“When are we gonna decide or realize that terrorism is a reaction?” the host asked Omar, an activist at the time.

“It’s an ideology, it’s a means of things. It’s not an entity, it’s not a place, people. It’s a reaction to a situation.”

She agreed with the assessment, stating that “nobody wants to take accountability of how these are byproducts of the actions of our involvement in other people’s affairs.”

“Nobody wants to face how the actions of the other people that are involved in the world have contributed to the rise of the radicalization and the rise of terrorist acts,” she added.

It is a concept that is commonplace with the radical Left, which has suggested all the way back to 9/11 days that terrorists are simply misunderstood and reacting to American influence in their homelands.

Shockingly, it’s not the first time Omar has offered sympathy for terrorists.

https://www.theisraelwire.com/2019/02/05/radical-muslim-democratic-congresswoman-actually-defends-an-islamic-terror-attack-and-its-not-the-first-time.html

Yes Omar!  Terrorism IS a reaction to a situation!!  Millions of Muslims want the entire world to be ruled by Islam!  The fact that it's not means that THEY can do horrendous things to other people who disagree with them!

I can't even believe that Pelosi put Omar on House Foreign Affairs Committee.  Where is the outrage?

UPDATE 2/11/19
Omar is in trouble again today for her antisemitic comments and Pelosi has publicly asked her to apologize!  But why not resign!!  If the Gov of VA is being asked to resign for painting his face black at Halloween 35 years ago, certainly Omar should be held to the same standard by Democrats?

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) apologized Monday afternoon for what many saw as anti-Semitic comments perpetuating the stereotype that Jews control politics with money.

Omar’s mea culpa came as prominent members of both parties denounced the first-term congresswoman’s statements and urged her to apologize.

"Anti-Semitism is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of anti-Semitic tropes,” Omar said on Twitter. “We have to always be willing to step back and think through criticism, just as I expect people to hear me when others attack me for my identity. This is why I unequivocally apologize.”

Earlier Monday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and other Democratic leaders said in a statement that Omar’s use of “anti-Semitic tropes and prejudicial accusations about Israel’s supporters is deeply offensive,” but added that her critiques of Israel’s policies and its treatment of Palestinians are protected by free speech.
