The Coming American Holy War?

 Many on the Right in America are God fearing.  Many on the Left are Mother Nature worshipping. Many on Right are convinced Trump election was literally stolen. Many on the Left are convinced that Trump was trying to steal the election. Many on the Right are concerned that the Lefts battle to silence them in the public square is exactly what the Nazis did.  Many on the Left are concerned that Trump and his followers are repeating what Hitler did.  The author isn’t predicting a holy war but is making an observation that the elements are present for one to break out.  Remember friends, “The joy of the Lord is my strength.”  If you are depressed by all this news instead of excited for what Jesus is about to do, then shut off the news and spend more time reading the Bible, praying, laughing with friends and using the gifts the Holy Spirit gave you.

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

We stand at enormous risk today of “holy war” in America.

Usually those words are used as a figure of speech, or even as a joke. Today I mean neither of these. We’re looking at the grave possibility of the real thing. Not that there’s anything the least bit holy about “holy wars.” The name comes instead from both sides believing they’re fighting morally necessary battles, for values of  of ultimate, sacred importance. Both sides, I emphasize. We could be on the brink of that such an unholy disaster even now, even in America.

I do not write this as a prediction of holy war, only to describe the conditions that have put us at unacceptably high risk of one.

Be advised that it’s very likely you will react as you read some portions of this. “How could their side have done that to us!? Look at them — it’s all their fault! How could they think they’re so right?! They’re trying to destroy everything this country stands for!” Be assured that people on the other side are saying the same about yours. That’s why this is so fraught with danger.

I’ll try to describe the situation as objectively as I can.

Farewell to America’s Greatest President

Bible believers, pro-lifers, Israel lovers and USA lovers have enjoyed the past 4 years of Trump. We may have disagreed with some of his Tweets and rhetoric but we sure appreciated his common sense and boldness to do the things his opponents said could never be done. Now with Biden pulling the levers he will quickly take us back to Obama days. It was fun while it lasted but maybe now we will focus even harder on the New Country where our citizenship truly lies.

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

President Donald John Trump will forever be remembered by the people of the State of Israel. The years of plenty have come and gone, and the President who exemplified the Jewish value of unwaveringly standing with the truth in the face of derision, slander, and violence will now stand aside as something else inherits the levers of power in Washington D.C.

President Trump, you became the envy of the people of Israel when you proved yourself to be a national leader who keeps his campaign promises. We now see that if there is a will, it is indeed possible.

For as long as any Jew living today can remember, the possibility of a U.S. leader not only recognizing the truth of Israel's cause, but at times even being a fiercer advocate than Israeli leadership itself and doing the things President Trump has done, would have seemed as impossible as the idea that a Jewish State would arise at all just one century earlier.

Palestinians Gloat As Biden Tears Up Trump Peace Deal

 The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob said that He will bless the nations whose Lord is Him and also will bless the nations who bless Israel and will curse the nations that curse Israel.

Israel loved Trump and he was most likely the biggest blessing that had comer their way in a long time.  But now Biden comes along and starts telling the Palestinian leaders that he plans on going back to the way things were under Obama....which was a nightmare for Israel.

So now we have Sleepy Joe reading from the book of Palms while he climbs in bed with the god of Abraham, Ishmael and Muhammad.

How do you think that might play out for America?

PA gloats as Biden team returns to old peace formula: The deal of the century is dead

Palestinian minister says that the PA had received assurances that the “Deal of the Century” has been taken off the table.

The Palestinian Authority (PA) reacted with relief Tuesday to the Biden administration’s new-old approach to the Arab-Israeli conflict as outlined by the U.S. acting ambassador to the UN earlier in the day.

“For the first time, President Biden’s administration has officially expressed its position toward the peace process and the two-state solution,” said PA Minister of Social Development Ahmed Majdalani.

“We believe that this position constitutes an important positive step on the road to restoring U.S.-Palestinian bilateral relations and opens the door wide to restore the peace process within the framework of multilateral international sponsorship.”

Majdalani also noted that the new American administration had quietly told the PA that it rejected former president Trump’s peace plan, which had been hailed in Israel as a workable basis for negotiations with the Palestinians, but which the PA had vetoed out of hand.

“There are channels of communication between the Palestinian Authority and Biden’s staff, and it’s now possible to get relations with the U.S. back on track after important indications were received regarding the removal of the Deal of the Century off the table,” he said.

Speaking at the monthly UN Security Council meeting on the Middle East, Richard Mills had stressed the importance of “renewing U.S. relations with the Palestinian leadership” and reinstating American aid as part of confidence-building measures to encourage negotiations toward a two-state solution.

Largest Financial Bubble in World History

 Last year we spoke at a church event for Seniors. We spoke about our belief, backed by scripture, that the world will be “pretty much business as usual” right before the rapture of the church. People will be marrying, giving in marriage, eating, drinking, planting and building.  If the entire global financial system were to collapse today, the chaos that would ensue would most likely NOT meet the parameters that Jesus spelled out. We know the financial markets will implode but it is our blessed hope that Jesus calls us into the clouds before this happens.  In the meantime we have billions of lost souls who need to hear the Gospel. Maybe your next door neighbor or your best friend from High School?

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

As we begin 2021, global markets signal a rebound in economic activity. The widely held belief is everything will eventually bounce back to pre-pandemic levels once COVID is vanquished. At least, that’s the consensus. Unfortunately, it’s not reality. The global economy is in terrible shape, maybe even in terminal condition.

Right now, the global economy is much like someone who just survived a bad car wreck. Immediately afterward, they walk away. They feel and look fine, and they think they’ve escaped unharmed. They don’t yet realize the extent of their injuries and only discover how serious they are hours or days later. This is where we are right now with the global economy.

Government programs have covered up the true extent of the damage, but they can’t do so forever. Business bailouts, direct government payments to individuals, and rent and mortgage moratoriums have delayed the pain. Because of them, many people can’t see the true extent of the economic damage. But these government band-aids won’t prevent the inevitable. The economy won’t “spring back” due to pent-up demand. Yes, once the pandemic ends, more people might decide to take cruises or eat out at restaurants. But they won’t book two cruises for the same weekend or order 15 meals in a single night to make up for the cruises they would’ve taken or the meals they would’ve eaten. Those transactions are lost forever.

In many cases, the economic damage from COVID-19 is permanent. The National Restaurant Association reports more than 110,000 U.S. restaurants permanently closed their doors in 2020. This is compared to 2019 which saw an increase of more than 10,000 restaurants, and the carnage isn’t over yet. Many of the 2020 survivors will go out of business in 2021. More than 15,000 retail store locations closed their doors in 2020 in the United States alone. The list of companies impacted includes iconic brands like Pier 1 Imports, Lord & Taylor, and Neiman Marcus.

Rent and mortgage forbearance has kept many from losing their homes, but what about the landlords and bondholders who haven’t been paid? Eventually, someone has to pay for all those who have lived rent and mortgage free in 2020. And what about the commercial real estate industry? With restaurants and retailers not making their lease payments, commercial real estate firms face ruin. With many employees successfully working from home, many commercial real estate leases won’t be renewed. This leaves vast amounts of office space vacant in big cities throughout the world. And this is just one example of the coming debt defaults and bankruptcies that will soon ripple throughout the entire global economy.

Right now, the world is drowning in debt – $277 trillion in debt. Much of that will never be paid back. When the defaults and bankruptcies start to take place, they’ll cascade throughout the global banking system and create another financial crisis. The only way to avoid a massive deflationary spiral like the Great Depression will be for governments to print and hand out currency to keep people and businesses from going under. But this will create its own crisis – a hyperinflationary crisis. In other words, there’s no way out. We’re on the brink of a major financial crisis. Government policy can delay it, but any delay is simply the calm before the storm.

Church Bombed in California

 Let's note the double standard that applies to Liberals and Democrats in America once more.  If BLM riots, loots and burns then it's supported by Democrats and necessary activity to get their point across.  If Trump supporters do anything violent it's called an insurrection or a hate crime.

If a Muslim mosque preaches hatred of Jews and Israel and the mosque get's bombed then the Left calls that a hate crime and screams for religious freedom.  If a church that preaches traditional marriage and calls gays perverts and sodomites gets bombed, then the media makes apologies for the bombers because of the "hate speech" that was delivered by the pastor.

Got it?

If you saw the headlines for the story about what took place at the First Works Baptist Church in El Monte, California you wouldn’t have thought it was as alarming as it turns out to be.  At first, when you read the headline you thought it was just a minor incident, maybe punk kids screwing around with fireworks.  But it wasn’t fireworks, rather, it was a real hate crime.

What went off at the church was an improvised explosive device (IED) of the same nature as what our military soldiers had to deal with in Iraq and Afghanistan.  The explosion was so powerful it blew out all of the windows and sent smoke belching from the building afterward.  In the aftermath, if you went inside you found the walls were covered in hateful graffiti.  The FBI is now looking into it, but after what the FBI has done over the last four years can they be trusted to investigate a crime against a church?  It just so happens that the pastor of the church contacted the FBI two weeks ago to report threats of violence in arson.

“Anytime a house of worship is attacked, we will respond,” the FBI spokeswoman said. “If it was motivated in any way by hate, that’s always a working theory when a house of worship is attacked, although that has not been confirmed.”  But what about when there are warnings brought to the attention of the FBI by houses of worship that an attack is imminent?  In this case, the FBI did nothing.  They got involved after the fact.

Folks, this is the type of attack that conservatives have been warning about if Biden won the election.   Millions of Americans believe he didn’t win but successfully stole the election from President Trump.  We told you that attacks like this would continue and probably exacerbate because the anarchist groups like ANTIFA, and BLM would feel that they now own the country.

The LA Sheriff’s department set up a command post near the church following the explosion.  The bombing of the church happened only two weeks after Pastor Bruce Meija said that he contacted the police after getting a threat on social media that his church was going to be set on fire.

“It appeared that the walls to the church had been vandalized as well as all the windows at first appeared to be smashed,” El Monte Police Department Lt. Christopher Cano said. “Then, we realized that the windows were not smashed and that they had actually blown out from some type of explosion.”

The most sickening thing about this is that our mainstream news media didn’t really focus on the bombing of an American church, rather, they focused on the fact that the church opposes same-sex marriage.  So, according to the reaction of our mainstream news media, a hate crime against a church is not newsworthy if the church’s dogma goes against a leftist dogma.  Ladies and gentlemen that is a sick attitude by any industry that is supposed to bring truth to the American people.

For example, KTLA5 ran a headline “FBI investigating bomb ‘attack’ at anti-LGBTQ church in El Monte.”

NBC ran a headline saying “FBI investigates explosion at anti-LGBTQ church in California.”

ABC ran with “FBI investigating explosion, graffiti at California church known for anti-LGBT views.”

Did they have to add in “anti-LGBTQ” to their headlines?   The purpose of that was to dehumanize the people from the church.  The Woke has to dehumanize the unwoke in order to discredit them so that they can be dismissed.  The American media has in effect blamed the bombing of a church on the church itself.

Here;  https://djhjmedia.com/rich/christian-church-bombed-in-california-media-blames-church-for-preaching-traditional-marriage/

Can you even imagine NBC reporting the bombing of a mosque by saying, "FBI Investigating bombing at Jew-hating mosque".  Of course not.

Welcome to the world of America where the mainstream media controls the narrative and decides what is news and what isn't.

We hope that the Bible believing churches in America are going to begin to make preparations for how they are going to react when the bully-government continues to tell them when they can be open, how many people can attend, what they can preach and whom they are legally required to marry.

The Left is not in power to build the unity of America as Biden and company have already lied about. They are in power to seek revenge for anyone that disagrees with them.

"This is a Warning to Christians Everywhere"

 How tragic that some of my ELCA Lutheran friends believe that Muslims don't need to be evangelized. "We all worship the same god!  Whether they call him Allah, which is Father in Arabic, it doesn't really matter because there is only one god and he will answer no matter what you call him."

Those of us who read and believe our Bibles know that the satanic fruit built into Islam is visible everywhere you look.  They need Jesus Christ to have eternal life...but quite sure the ELCA and other liberal denominations will be offering to them anytime soon.

In the meantime Satan continues to use Islam to butcher followers of Christ EVEN TODAY!!

Nigeria: In a video that appeared on Dec. 29, Islamic terrorists executed five Christians. The footage shows five armed members of the Islamic State (West African province) standing behind five men dressed in orange suits, and on their knees with their arms tied behind their backs. The terrorists order each of the men to say their names and the hostages oblige, each adding, "I am a Christian." One of the terrorists then says "This is a warning to Christians in all parts of the world and those in Nigeria.... Use the heads of these five of your brethren to continue with your ungodly celebrations," a reference to Christmas. The five Muslims then open fire into the back of the Christians' heads and kill them.

Uganda: A Muslim mob attacked and killed a man "a few days after he renounced Islam to follow Christ." On Nov. 30, Yusuf Kintu, 41, then an imam at a mosque, converted to Christianity. Pastor Andrew Nyanma said:

"We had been talking on several occasions, but he was so argumentative when we touched on matters related to faith. He was a brilliant Muslim Imam but also respected other people's faith. On this day [of his conversion], he was calm and receptive."

Three days later, his wife divorced him and left the house with his two youngest children. On Dec. 6, one week after his conversion—or, in Muslim eyes, apostasy—an angry Muslim mob rose up against him. According to one source, "the local Muslim community was upset in [sic] Yusuf for leaving Islam and becoming a Christian. Yusuf was seriously beaten and left unconscious." Pastor Andrew found him in the morning and took him to a hospital, where, on Dec, 7, Yusuf succumbed to his injuries.

Artsakh: Muslim fighters tortured a 58-year-old Christian woman of Armenian descent by hacking off her ears, hands, and feet before finally executing her. According to the Jan. 14 report:

"On the same day of talks between Erdogan and Putin, when Turkey's leader said he would like to create conditions of 'coexistence' between Armenians and Azeris, officials located the body of an Armenian woman today who had been reported missing.

"The woman has been identified as 58-year-old Alvard Tovmasyan who was a resident of Karin Tak village, near the Shushi region of Artsakh currently occupied by Azerbaijani forces.

"Tovmasyan was a second degree intellectually disabled person killed and 'tortured beyond recognition' outside of her home with her hands, ears, and feet cut off, according to her brother Samvel Tovmasyan who confirmed her identity by recognizing the clothes she was wearing."

As to why she was mutilated before being killed, jihadis often cite the Koran's calls to cut off the hands, feet, and throats of infidels (e.g., Koran 5:33, 47:4).

Democratic Republic of Congo: Members of the Allied Democratic Forces, widely acknowledged as "an insurgent jihadist group," slaughtered at least 30 Christians and raped ten women and girls in five villages between Nov. 20 and Dec. 3. One of the survivors, Tony Longi, managed to escape his home in time and hide in the outside bathroom: "through the ventilator of the latrine he saw the rebels killing 4 members of his family including his wife and 3 children." According to one local official, "We got information that as they killed the Christians the[y] were saying that they were killing them because they refused to convert to Islam." Another report describing these raids said there were "scenes of terrified Christians flooding into the streets as the jihadists surrounded churches in each of the five villages armed with guns, machetes, clubs, swords and axes."

Uganda: A Muslim man beat and forced his wife to drink pesticide on learning that she had become Christian. Three months after Zubeda Nabirye, a 38-year-old mother of three, had secretly converted, her husband discovered Bibles in her possession and demanded if she had apostatized. She told him that "a friend had given me the Bibles, and I was using it to compare it with what is written in the Koran, and after all religion is a matter of personal choice... My husband began reading verses in the Koran that allowed men to beat their wives if they disobey them, and after that he started beating me with slaps and sticks. As if this was not enough, he forced me to take Dithane M-45," a toxic pesticide. He forced the poison into his wife's mouth; though she managed not to swallow most of it, she "ingested some while he was trying to strangle her and hitting her leg with sticks... He also injured her chest, neck and thigh." It was late in the night when "I regained consciousness and found myself surrounded by neighbors."

In a separate incident in Uganda, on Dec. 21, Muslims gang-raped a female church pastor. The widowed mother of five was walking home from Christmas preparations at her church when she heard someone crying for help in the dark. "When I stopped," explained the 50-year-old whose name is withheld for security reasons, "I was surprised to see people coming from the bush, and one of them shouted in the Arabic language, 'Allah is greater—we have warned you several times to stop converting Muslims to Christianity. Today we shall teach you a lesson that you will not forget.'" One of the men covered her mouth with a chemical-doused handkerchief that caused her to lose consciousness. She awoke three hours later and was found by her nephew. "He saw blood on my torn skirt. He could not stop tears rolling from his cheeks, crying and shouting for help, and he took me to a nearby clinic for medical treatment."

Pakistan: On Christmas day, a mob consisting of as many as 60 Muslim men attacked a church during Christmas service. According to the Dec. 30 report, "They aimed to kidnap and assault the women in attendance." However, the church's security guards and male congregants "fought back with bare hands against the staff-wielding intruders, giving the women time to escape. Many Christian men suffered blunt trauma injuries and fractures in the fight." Before things got violent, the Muslim invaders had made derogatory comments about the Christian women, adding that they were "looking dashing today. Let us have all of them in our beds." When one of the Christian defenders angrily rose up, "The Muslims," he said, "warned me never to stop them from doing whatever they wanted to do with Christian girls." The authorities, on arriving, "helped the defeated Muslims escape, and blamed Christians for fighting back."

Here:  "This Is a Warning to Christians in All Parts of the World": The Persecution of Christians, December 2020 (gatestoneinstitute.org)

"Yeah but Dennis, those are just a very few stories about some bad Muslims.  I'm sure there are an equal number of equally bad stories about Christians doing horrendous things!"  And then they will say really stupid stuff like, "The guy who just shot two people dead in Knoxville was a Catholic!"

Just remember that sometimes it's best not to cast our pearls of truth to the swine. They can't comprehend how Satan works because they don't believe he even exists.

In the meantime, Jesus continues to harvest thousands and tens of thousands of Muslims using dreams and visions. We hope this is more proof that Jesus is getting ready to invade times and space of planet earth and blow the trumpet to call His bride to the wedding!

Please remember to pray for the persecuted church.  The followers of Christ in America may soon be joining them.

On the Brink of a Terrible Civil War

 Another “expert” warning that America is on the edge of a Civil War. How long will Conservatives live with Dem party rulers telling us they want our guns, men are women & women are men, Israel is bad but Muslims are good, words like father and mother need to be stricken from our society and that THEY will use force to shut down any business they choose?  How long will the godless Left let freedom of speech and freedom of Christian values and morals to be taught by Conservatives until their rage breaks out against us?

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

Back in February, I said I wanted a president who could “bring together our country to face our challenges in a more united and less divisive way.”

I wanted someone who would unite people – i.e. who does not view themselves as the leader of the winning side imposing policies the other side would find intolerable.

I believe we are on the brink of a terrible civil war (as I described in The Changing World Order series), where we are at an inflection point between entering a type of hell of fighting or pulling back to work together for peace and prosperity that addresses the big wealth, values, and opportunity gaps we’re now seeing. For that reason I was thrilled to hear what President Biden said at his inauguration. It is consistent with the direction history has shown the country needs to move in.

Now the question is whether the president and both parties will bring that about. Good words and spirit aren’t enough. People will have to agree on both how to grow the pie and how to divide it well. That will require revolutionary change.

Doing it peacefully requires both bipartisanship and skill. It won’t be easy. Our country is still in a terrible financial state and terribly divided. 

While Dalio correctly points out the extremely precarious spot where splintered US society stands right now, it is again disappointing that instead of admitting the true poison eating away at the heart of US society, Dalio once again refers to the symptom - the presidency - and not the underlying diseases that brought it on. We are confident that it has to do with the fact that the well-being of Dalio's own fortune is heavily reliant on not kicking the hornets' nest of catastrophic monetary policy, but merely diverting attention to whatever is the media taking point bulletin du jour, in this case the ongoing Trump vs Biden narrative clash.

We can only hope that one day Dalio will have the guts to tell the truth about why we are indeed "on the brink of a terrible civil war" and expose the real criminals behind the deadly divisions tearing apart US society.

Democrats War on Words

 We already know Dems targeted words like father, mother, sister and brother. Those words are sexist and can make you feel bad, just like boy, girl, male, female already do! Now the latest word that makes Dems cringe is “alien”. No more illegal aliens please! From now on they are “noncitizens”. Please note this new rule in the same notepad you use to remember the preferred pronouns of the gender-neutral folks you will likely be meeting.

Isaiah 28     The Lord will rise up as he did at Mount Perazim, he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gibeon — to do his work, his strange work, and perform his task, his alien task.

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

In a sweeping immigration reform bill, President Joe Biden proposed removing the term "alien" from U.S. immigration laws and replacing it with the word "noncitizen," marking a stark break from the previous administration which encouraged the use of the term "alien."

The bill, which also seeks to provide an eight-year path to citizenship to recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, individuals with temporary protected status and millions of others living in the United States without legal immigration status, "further recognizes America as a nation of immigrants," according to a summary of the legislation released by the new administration.

Ana Maria Archila, co-executive director of the advocacy group Center for Popular Democracy, said in a statement she applauded "many aspects of the proposed legislation, including: the pathway to citizenship," as well as "the elimination of the dehumanizing term 'alien' from the law."

Rep. Joaquín Castro, D-Texas, introduced a similar proposal back in 2015 to remove the phrase "illegal alien" from federal laws and replace it with undocumented "foreign national." The bill would also have ensured that no executive branch agency uses “alien” or “illegal alien” in signage or literature.
