Trump's Peace Plan

History tells us that the Arab armies attempted to roll over the Jews of Israel and told all the Arabs living in Israel to vacate for a few days while they killed all the Jews, then they could come back and occupy their homes and businesses!

Well, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob had other plans.  Not only were the Arabs unsuccessful in their plans but the Jews knocked them back on their heals and won territory they didn't previously have!!

As for the Arabs who left Israel to "visit their cousins" in Arab lands....they are still there.  Living in Jordan and Egypt and other places.  And their Arab hosts haven't been real nice to their "Palestinian" cousins...as they are still refugees 50+ years later.

But Trump might have a Peace Plan up his sleeve that will force these Arab nations to recognize these folks.

President Donald Trump will push for Jordan to grant citizenship to one million Palestinian refugees as part of his "Deal of the Century," according to the Lebanese newspaper Al Akhbar. 

Trump will also ask Egypt to grant citizenship to Palestinian refugees. Granting Palestinians refugees citizenship status from other countries may be a way for Trump to avoid establishing a Palestinian state. The report hints that a confederation of three states may be an option, where there would be a joint government between Israel, Jordan, and the Palestinian Authority for specific and limited purposes. 

According to the report, Jordanian King Abdullah II expressed opposition to the establishment of a joint confederation and told Egyptian leaders that he prefers Jordan to remain in charge of the holy sites in Jerusalem "without interfering in the details between the Israelis and the Palestinians."

If the Al Akhbar report is correct, Jordan and Egypt will receive USD $110 billion in economic aid, according to the report. It is not yet clear where this reported aid will come from. Jordan would receive USD $45 billion, and the remainder would go to Egypt. For both of the countries part of the money will be used for implementing projects on the ground.

Clearly, prophecy watchers should be WATCHING this push for some type of peace plan that includes Israel and it's sworn enemies.

Why?

Because Daniel tells us when the Antichrist shows up he will CONFIRM a peace plan...which very possibly could mean that there is already a peace plan in place.

If Trump's prophetic moves continue unabated, maybe he is just the dude who could get it done?

World Ending WWIII Gathering in Venezuela

The headline on this article is very blog-worthy!  It fits nicely into the file labeled WARS & RUMORS OF WAR.  The article comes from a left-leaning news source so take it for what it’s worth.  Yes Venezuela has collapsed and made a vacuum that is drawing in USA, Russia and China, that’s a fact.  It’s also a fact that Russia and China would love to topple USA from our 70 year perch as King of the Hill.

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

At first, the US's aggressive position on Venezuela seemed uncomplicated. Troops were quickly on the mind of the top hawk in D.C.—White House National Security Adviser John Bolton, the man who, in the first years of the 2000s, played a key role in leading the US into an adventure—the second Iraq war—that proved to be disastrous, and placed American imperial power in a terminal crisis (the collapse of the Project for the New American Century). The fickle public had forgotten about all that. Bolton, a member of the "old gang" (Cheney, Rummy, Wolfowitz), could resume the war drumming he loves so much. The press could be expected to amplify it. And old allies would fall into line. Venezuela has oil, a socialist government in turmoil, and pro-American opponents who are ready to exploit the oil and turmoil. What could go wrong with the regional exertion of basic imperial power?
But what would trigger a third world war? Simply the escalating costs of maintaining the key capitalist directive, which is limitless growth, in the face of real limits posed by climate change. We can expect this situation to be exacerbated by the world-historical development at this conjecture, which is the transition of political/economic power from Washington, D.C./New York City to Beijing/Shanghai. What the history of capitalism makes very clear is that such transitions (the Dutch to the British, the British to the US) are not gradual and peaceful, but always accelerated by war.
Then the Russians arrived and began supporting the socialist leader that the US wants to oust, Nicolas Maduro. And now a team from the largest standing army in the world, the Chinese People's Liberation Army, have, according to Al-Masdar News, been deployed to a crisis that's becoming more and more dangerous. What this means is that three major nuclear-weapon countries are converging on Venezuela.

Bogus Ideas Coming From Pope Almost Daily

The world believes the Pope is one of the biggest, most important Christians on planet earth.  Satan conjured up Islam by possessing a pagan named Muhammad and feeding him lies that are directly opposed to Jesus Christ and attempt to refute most of what He said.  How can the Catholics, Methodists, Lutherans and other “Christians” be so blind as to believe Islam can have anything to offer followers of Jesus?

Just one more sign that the Age of Grace must be nearing its last days.
***********************

When? Where? When has it ever borne fruit? Where and when, in the 1,400-year history of jihad, have Christian lands near Muslim lands ever been left alone by the Muslims? When, in that 1,400-year history, have Christians living in Muslim lands ever been granted equality of rights and been treated as full citizens? The Pope is guilt-tripping Christians into accepting mass Muslim migration into Europe while ignoring the history of Islam and denying the doctrines of Islam, and demanding that everyone believe that the situation will be different this time, despite the absolute lack of any reason to believe that it will be. Is he bent on destroying Europe as a home for free societies and obliterating the remnants of Christendom? That certainly will be the result if his exhortations are heeded.
“Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14)

Trump Cuts to Planned Parenthood

After seeing the movie UNPLANNED last night I am thrilled to see this news today.  Everyone must see this movie so they understand the violence that ends a baby’s life and also see that PP’s main purpose is selling and performing abortions.

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

The grant announcement was released Friday on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) website. Among those no longer receiving grants are Planned Parenthood affiliates in five states: Hawaii, North Carolina, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Virginia, according to the abortion group’s website.

As Politico reports:

… seven Planned Parenthood affiliates in eight states are still set to receive funding through 2022 beginning on Monday. Oregon and Washington state’s health departments will also continue to serve as the sole grantees in those states. Those states and Planned Parenthood are suing to block the new anti-abortion rules due to take effect May 3, and threatening to withdraw unless federal courts step in.

Planned Parenthood’s $16 million-a-year allotment is a steep drop from the $50 to 60 million the group had been receiving annually.

The change amounts to about a $44 million cut in taxpayer funding to Planned Parenthood annually.

The new “Protect Life” rule prohibits Planned Parenthood and other abortion businesses from receiving any of those tax dollars unless they completely separate their abortion businesses from their taxpayer-funded services. That mean housing their family planning services in separate buildings with separate staff from their abortion businesses and a denial of funds if they fail to do so. Most Planned Parenthood entities are not expected to comply.

Pope Warns Catholics NOT to Convert Muslims

This Pope dude seems to be campaigning for the future role of False Prophet!  It seems with every passing day he comes up with some statement that proves he has little to do with believing that Jesus is God and is the only name given to men by which they can be saved. Instead he has been rallying all the false-satanic inspired religions and preaching the lie that all religions are about peace and worshipping god. When in fact Jesus is the only way to have peace with God.  Wrath remains on all others.
***************************************

Pope Francis warned Catholics in Morocco not to attempt to convert Muslims to Christianity, as he addressed a large crowd of his Moroccan flock on Sunday.The head of the Catholic Church issued the warning during an address at St. Peter's Cathedral in Rabat, Morocco before roughly 400 Christian followers.During the speech, in which the pope also discussed the rights of migrants and promoted open borders, the pope urged Christians to unite with Muslims, before he warned: "Please, no proselytism!"Trying to convert people to Christianity "always leads to an impasse," said the head of the 1.3 billion-member church, as reported by Agence France-Presse.

China Bans the Koran

The MSM seems to not care that China has over 1,000,000 Muslims in concentration camps as they hope to “recondition” them.  We wonder if they will report about banning the Koran?  We wonder if the majority-Muslim nations will scream, riot and rage in protest?  Nahh

“Chinese Police Order Xinjiang’s Muslims to Hand in All Copies of The Quran,” Radio Free Asia (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Chinese authorities in the northwestern region of Xinjiang have ordered ethnic minority Muslim families to hand in religious items including prayer mats and copies of the Quran to the authorities, RFA has learned.

Officials across Xinjiang have been warning neighborhoods and mosques that ethnic minority Uyghur, Kazakh and Kyrgyz Muslims must hand in the items or face harsh punishment if they are found later, sources in the region said.

“Officials at village, township and county level are confiscating all Qurans and the special mats used for namaaz [prayer],” a Kazakh source in Altay prefecture, near the border with Kazakhstan told RFA on Wednesday.

Is Trump Like Cyrus of Persia?

Many of you already know that The Temple Institute has minted coins with the likeness of Cyrus and Trump on the face of the coin.  When Trump finally told the truth about Jerusalem and moved our embassy there, he became a hero to lots of Jews.  Now he has doubled down and told the truth about the Golan Heights.

The Jerusalem Post has this to say about Trump.

Following President Trump’s proclamation recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights on Monday, Prime Minister Netanyahu compared the American leader to Cyrus the Great. While Trump’s words and actions deserve our appreciation, comparisons to Cyrus are premature.

During the signing ceremony at the White House, Prime Minister Netanyahu established the historical significance of the Golan decision. “In the long sweep of Jewish history,” declared the Prime Minister, “there have been a handful of proclamations by non-Jewish leaders on behalf of our people and our land: Cyrus the Great, the great Persian king; Lord Balfour; President Harry S. Truman; and President Donald J. Trump.”

This was not the first comparison of a US president to the Persian king.

President Truman was the first when he actually compared himself to Cyrus. Introduced at a dinner by his friend Eddie Jacobson as the man who “helped create the State of Israel”, Truman cried, “what do you mean, helped create? I am Cyrus! I am Cyrus!”

Cyrus the Great (600-530 BCE) was the founder of the Persian Empire who expanded his kingdom into the largest empire the world had yet seen during his 30 year reign. From a historical perspective he is known for his many achievements, but the Bible remembers him fondly for a very specific reason.

Cyrus was the Persian king who defeated the Babylonians after their destruction of the First Temple in 586 BCE. According to the Bible, one of his first acts was to reverse the damage caused by the Babylonians:

In the first year of King Cyrus of Persia, when the word of Hashem spoken by Yirmiyahu was fulfilled, Hashem roused the spirit of King Cyrus of Persia to issue a proclamation throughout his realm by word of mouth and in writing as follows: “Thus said King Cyrus of Persia: God of Heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and has charged me with building Him a house in Yerushalayim, which is in Yehuda. Anyone of you of all His people—may his God be with him, and let him go up to Yerushalayim that is in Yehuda and build the House of God of Yisrael, the God that is in Yerushalayim.” (Ezra 1:1-3, The Israel Bible)

https://m.jpost.com/Opinion/Trump-Isnt-Cyrus-Yet-584831

Amazing!  The eyes of the world are on Israel.  Just as the Bible said they would be in the very Last Days.

Trump is certainly a FAR FROM PERFECT man....but the Bible tells a long history of God using far from perfect men to accomplish His purposes.

Amen!

Communist Playbook?

I ran across this old newspaper clipping that was making it's rounds on Twitter today.  A quick fact check can't disprove the article was, in fact, published in a local newspaper, but you might want to fact check the "Dusseldorf in 1919" before you preach on it from your pulpit this week.

It would sure seem that lots of these plays from their playbook have taken root in America and other Western nations.

While we fight over allowing men to shower in girl's locker room provided they FEEL like women that day, or fight over whether 3 gay men should be allowed to get married and adopt kids...we are stepping ever closer to the collapse of all things as we know them.

Is Gluttony a Sin?

We have blogged about this before.  The Bible-believing Church has a big blind spot when it comes to gluttony.  They can wag their fingers at gays, lesbians, adulterers and fornicators, they can say, 'I've never drank a single drop of the devil's due called alcohol!"....but then they can go to KFC after church and eat 2 fried chickens, drink 2000 calories of Coke and chase it all down with a chocolate malt.  They might have a 52 inch waist and weigh 500 pounds but has ANYBODY in the church gone to them and said they can't be on the praise team, they can't be an elder, they can't teach adult education or preach from the pulpit?  They can't be in leadership because they are involved in a public display of sin.

I've never seen it happen.

I ran across this answer that y'all might find interesting.

"Is gluttony a sin? What does the Bible say about overeating?"

Answer: Gluttony seems to be a sin that Christians like to ignore. We are often quick to label smoking and drinking as sins, but for some reason gluttony is accepted or at least tolerated. Many of the arguments used against smoking and drinking, such as health and addiction, apply equally to overeating. Many believers would not even consider having a glass of wine or smoking a cigarette but have no qualms about gorging themselves at the dinner table. This should not be!

Proverbs 23:20-21 warns us, “Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags.” Proverbs 28:7 declares, “He who keeps the law is a discerning son, but a companion of gluttons disgraces his father.” Proverbs 23:2 proclaims, “Put a knife to your throat if you are given to gluttony.”

Physical appetites are an analogy of our ability to control ourselves. If we are unable to control our eating habits, we are probably also unable to control other habits, such as those of the mind (lust, covetousness, anger) and unable to keep our mouths from gossip or strife. We are not to let our appetites control us, but we are to have control over our appetites. (See Deuteronomy 21:20, Proverbs 23:2, 2 Peter 1:5-7, 2 Timothy 3:1-9, and 2 Corinthians 10:5.) The ability to say “no” to anything in excess—self-control—is one of the fruits of the Spirit common to all believers (Galatians 5:22).

God has blessed us by filling the earth with foods that are delicious, nutritious, and pleasurable. We should honor God's creation by enjoying these foods and by eating them in appropriate quantities. God calls us to control our appetites, rather than allowing them to control us.

https://www.gotquestions.org/questweek.html

When we realize that tens of millions of Americans are MORBIDLY OBESE we can have a discussion about sugar, fast-food, education, ignorance, and the monetary cost of eating healthy, but of course it's just one more sign that this nation has already spiraled out of control.

We can't control our spending, we can't control our illegal drug use, we can't control our drinking, gambling, porn use and certainly we can't control our ability to push ourselves away from the table and go for a walk instead of gorging ourselves day after day and ending up as gluttons.

61 Yr Old Woman Gives Birth

What a strange world we live in!  Things that would have never been thought of are now happening on a daily basis...some because of technology advancements and some because or morality setbacks.

This next article is a case in point.

As nature dictates, these two gay men can get married and hump each other all they want but neither one of them will ever get pregnant!

Hey!! That's not fair!!

So one gay man convinced his sister to donate an egg to them, the other gay man donated his sperm to fertilize the egg in a test tube and then they planted the fertilized egg into one of the gay man's 61 year old mother and she just gave birth!!

The Yahoo News reporter is crying because it's such an emotional and "beautiful" story...but it makes me wonder when Jesus is going to come and put a stop to all this strange twisting of LIFE??

“Being a part of this incredible journey has been one of the most magical experiences,” photographer Ariel Panowicz told Yahoo.

Uma Louise was born Monday morning at the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha to proud dads Matthew Eledge and Elliot Dougherty, who are married.

She was conceived via in vitro fertilization, using Eledge’s sperm and eggs from Dougherty’s sister, Lea Yribe.

And it was Eledge’s 61-year-old mother, Cecile Reynek Eledge, who served as the gestational carrier and gave birth to Uma, helping her son and son-in-law become first-time parents.

The incredible moment was captured by Panowicz, who has followed the couple’s journey right from the start.

“From witnessing the moment Matt and Elliot met to photographing their wedding, maternity photos and then the birth of their baby girl, it’s been so amazing watching their love and family grow,” she told Yahoo.

“The strength and poise that [she] demonstrated at 61 years old while giving birth was truly a sight to see. She was so calm, (literally didn’t make a peep during birth), and had the energy of a true warrior.

The same Left that is celebrating this bizarre twisting of God's original plan is also hell-bent and making sure that women can also kill their babies up to the very second before they leave the birth canal.

Certainly more evidence of how their minds are being GIVEN OVER to futile and foolish thinking because they have REJECTED Jesus Christ and his free offer of salvation, only available through Him.
