Unprecedented Record Floods All Over the World

 Maybe you have seen the video out of Germany and Belgium?  Towns just destroyed when a river that's usually 3 feet deep rose to 24 feet.  How about the record flooding in China that has burst at least two dams that we know of?  How about Poland, France, and Luxembourg?  It's the most rain EVER!!  The worst flooding EVER!!

One Rabbi thinks he knows why all this flooding is happening.  They are expecting the messiah to come.

In the last week, heavy rains and flooding have hit separate sections of the globe with disastrous effects.

While some Biblically unsophisticated onlookers associated the flooding with the deluge in the age of Noah, two noted Israeli mystics noted that the floods were, on fact, carrying out a pre-Messiah function that, while it will be massively destructive, will not threaten the entire world.

“That is why all these floods came as they did, from rivers and not from oceans, all in the space of two weeks. It is happening now because we are nearly at the end and the people who hate Israel and the God of Israel will not be allowed to benefit from the wondrous times that are about to happen.”

“The waters are doing God’s will in their own way,” Rabbi ben Artzi wrote. “They want Messiah. They are yearning to do their part in bringing the Nation of Israel to redemption, just as the Red Sea did in the Exodus. Those who help Israel are doing the same. Those who do not will be swept away in the waters just like the army of Pharoah.”

The article has a handful of videos from the flooded areas that are pretty amazing to watch.  One is of a dam breaking in China.

Please note that the Jews are talking A LOT about their messiah coming.  We have said this more than once but will say it again;  the fact that the Jews are looking for their messiah, who will end up becoming the Antichrist, should be one more reason for followers of Christ to be expecting Jesus Christ to blow the trumpet and call us home sometime soon.

Jesus told the Jews that they won't accept him as their messiah when he comes in his own name but they WILL accept a false messiah who comes in another name.

Zechariah prophesied that 2/3 of the Jews are going to die when the Antichrist turns on them after 3 1/2 years (halfway) through the 7 year peace agreement that Antichrist confirmed.

VP Kamala Uses Bible and "Love Thy Neighbor" as Reason to Get Vaccine

 As the article points out, it is pretty funny when non-Bible-believers who support the murder of babies at will, then turn around and use the Bible to support getting vaccinated.

You do have to scroll down in the article and watch the schmalzy video of Kamala saying such.

I will remind you that it's the Left who claims to be the party of science and yet they deny that a baby in it's mother's stomach is actually a baby.  They also deny that babies are born either MALE or FEMALE, claiming instead that any person can claim any identity that they want by simply speaking it. "I declare that today I am a black, female, 12 yr old girl.  Since I'm gender-fluid I may declare something different tomorrow."   Yes!  Very sound science indeed!  Follow the science for sure!!

It’s always laughable when Democrats start thumping their (probably borrowed) Bibles to preach to Christians, but it’s downright absurd coming from the likes of Vice President Kamala Harris.

The abortion-supporting politician has been attempting to evangelize the reluctant faithful into taking the hastily developed, novel COVID-19 vaccine by telling them it’s a way to follow the biblical edict to “love thy neighbor.”

She has trotted out this message on several occasions, including last month in Greenville, South Carolina, as the Biden administration was feverishly working toward its goal of having 70 percent of Americans vaccinated by July 4, the Post and Courier reported.

“You know, a couple weeks ago, I was down in Atlanta at Ebenezer Baptist Church. And it was good to be back there,” she told the crowd on July 12.

“And the church — of course, you all know this is the church where Dr. King preached until the day he died,” Harris went on.

“And today, it is a place of worship. But as most places of worship, also a place of healing; it is a vaccination site,” she said, subtly elevating the vaccine to something akin to a sacrament. “Then and now, a place of healing.

“And when I was there, I talked with a bunch of folks and, in particular, I met with a bunch of folks who had just been vaccinated and the health care workers who administered the vaccines. And I said then what I will repeat today: I do believe that the act of getting vaccinated is the very essence — the very essence — of what the Bible tells us when it says, ‘love thy neighbor.’ Right?” she asked the approving crowd.

Her handlers apparently think this is such a home run point for her that it’s been produced into a clip tweeted on her official account, complete with schmaltzy piano music for full emotional effect.

I will remind you that Joe Biden is not well.  Almost daily he mumbles something incoherent from his presidential podium.  Most of us know that Joe IS NOT running the country but that his handlers are.  We may be days, weeks or months away from Crazy-Kamala actually taking the reigns of the most powerful office in the world.

Pray for America.  She is on a very slippery path.

Transgender Man on Cover of Sports Illustrated

Pretty sad that America has reached this point where a man can use surgery and chemicals to look like a woman. Pretty bizarre that the first thing that “woman” wants to do is become a sexualized object!  Something that real women have been screaming against for years!

Also note that this man was raped as a young boy. That’s how’s demons pass themselves along. Demons are sources of confusion that will do anything to keep people off the path of discovering their Creator.

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

Leyna Bloom says she was raped as a child, sexually fetishized her entire life and forced to hide who she really was. Now, she’s the first transgender woman on the cover of Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue, celebrated as “a symbol of beauty.”

Bloom, a 27-year-old model, actress and dancer, is one of three women to appear on the 2021 edition’s cover when it hits stands later this week, the magazine announced on Monday. The others are tennis star Naomi Osaka, 23, and rapper Megan Thee Stallion, 26.

“This moment heals a lot of pain in the world. We deserve this moment,” Bloom said on Instagram. “… Many girls like us don’t have the chance to live our dreams, or to live long at all. I hope my cover empowers those, who are struggling to be seen, feel valued.”

China Threatens WW III

We can file this under “wars and rumors of war”.  Japan has done horrendous things to the Chinese over the past centuries and the Chinese haven’t forgotten. Also they want Taiwan and if China sent invasion force tomorrow would the world go to war against China to stop them?

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

A video has appeared online that reportedly is circulating among Chinese Communist Party channels in which the repressive regime on the mainland there threatens to unleash a "continuous" nuclear war on the world.

"When we liberate Taiwan, if Japan dares to intervene by force, even if it only deploys one soldier, one plane and one ship, we will not only return reciprocal fire but also start a full-scale war against Japan," the statement threatens.

"We will use nuclear bombs continuously until Japan declares unconditional surrender for the second time. What we want to target is Japan's ability to endure a war. As long as Japan realizes that it cannot afford to pay the price of war, it will not dare to rashly send troops to the Taiwan Strait.

"In 1964, when our first atomic bomb was successfully detonated, we promised the world that we would not use atomic bombs against non-nuclear countries and that we would not be the first to use them. Nearly 60 years have passed. Although the strength of our nuclear deterrent has been somewhat affected this decision has been a success, and has safeguarded our peace when we built our country."

Lebanon Fires Missiles Into Israel

 Lebanon is collapsing.  The value of their currency has plummeted so folks are losing all their savings. Hezbollah are some freakish Muslim terrorists who have a whole lot of power in Lebanon.  Just yesterday they decided it might be a good idea to lob some missiles into Northern Israel maybe in an attempt to get the Lebanese people focused on hating Israel instead of hating their Hezbollah leaders.

The Israel Defense Forces shelled targets in Lebanon on Tuesday morning after two rockets were launched from Lebanon at northern Israel on Monday night.

Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system downed one of the rockets, while the second fell in an open area, according to the military. No injuries or damage were reported, and the IDF Home Front Command issued no special guidelines for residents of the north.

Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz warned on Tuesday that Israel would not tolerate the current Lebanese crisis spilling over into Israel, and reiterated that Israel holds Lebanon responsible for attacks emanating from its territory.

“We will not allow the social, political and economic crisis in Lebanon to turn into a security threat to Israel. I call on the international community to take action to restore stability in Lebanon,” said Gantz.

“The state of Lebanon is responsible for the rockets fired overnight, as it allows terrorists to operate within its territory. Israel will act against any threat to its sovereignty and its citizens, and will respond in accordance to its interests—at the relevant time and place,” he added.

Lebanon is in the midst of a severe economic crisis, with shortages of fuel, medicine and basic goods. The Lebanese currency is foundering and banks have moved to restrict withdrawals and transfers.

Gantz offered Lebanon assistance in a July 4 speech, saying Israel was “ready to act, and to encourage other countries to extend a helping hand to Lebanon so that it will once again flourish and emerge from its state of crisis.”

“As an Israeli, as a Jew and as a human being, my heart aches seeing the images of people going hungry on the streets of Lebanon,” said Gantz.

The crisis, which began in late 2019, is blamed by many in Lebanon on corruption and mismanagement by the political class.

Lebanon used to be called "The Paris of the Middle East".  It was a destination vacation site for much of Europe.  Gorgeous beaches, beautiful hotels and night clubs.  Then Islam showed up and Civil War was the result.  Today Lebanon would not be a place that anyone would try to immigrate into.  It's a mess.  Just one other nation that the Curse of Muhammad's Islam has infected.

Afghanistan Will Be a Mess for the Civilized World

 Do you remember in Genesis when God told Hagar that the son she had with Abraham, Ishmael, would be a wild donkey of a man?  

Genesis 16

11 The angel of the Lord also said to her:

“You are now pregnant

    and you will give birth to a son.

You shall name him Ishmael,[a]

    for the Lord has heard of your misery.

12 He will be a wild donkey of a man;

    his hand will be against everyone

    and everyone’s hand against him,

and he will live in hostility

    toward[b] all his brothers.”

And of course the REST OF THE STORY is that Ishmael became the father of the Arab peoples.  And then the Arabs became Muslims after they were deceived by Satan via Muhammad.

Afghanistan is a mess.  America has been there for almost 20 years.  Thousands dead and wounded  And now we are pulling out completely without accomplishing our goal of setting up a civilized government who could control ISIS and Al Qaida.  And now those two demonic, Muslim groups who love to kill, rape and destroy, will fill the power vacuum and turn Afghanistan into a terrorist headquarters.

As the United States prepares to complete its withdrawal from Afghanistan by August 31, 2021, a growing number of Arabs are worried that the American move will not only bring the Taliban back to power there, but also lead to the re-emergence of other Islamist terrorist groups such as Al-Qaeda and Islamic State (ISIS).

The Arabs are saying that the Americans are mistaken if they think that the war on terrorism will end with the withdrawal of the US troops from Afghanistan.

They are warning the US that it will pay a heavy price for allowing Afghanistan to fall into the hands of terrorist groups. They are also saying that they see no difference between the Taliban, Al-Qaeda and ISIS, and how these groups openly cooperate with each other.

Mounir Adib, an Egyptian expert on Islamic movements and international terrorism, pointed out that the Taliban had previously protected Al-Qaeda and even refused to hand over Osama bin Laden to the US while he was residing in Afghanistan, on the pretext that the Americans failed to prove his relationship to the September 11, 2001 attacks.

"The Taliban refused to hand over the leader of Al-Qaeda and provided him with the protection that his group continues to enjoy today," Adib wrote.

"Intelligence reports confirmed that there is security and military cooperation between the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, whose fighters fought together against the US forces over the past two decades. This means that the Taliban is committed to the core principles that it shares with Al-Qaeda. The danger of Al-Qaeda and the Taliban will continue to threaten the world."

Adib warned that the US will pay the price for its exit from Afghanistan. "The cost of the withdrawal will be greater and more dangerous for America and the entire world," he said. "Al-Qaeda and the Taliban are preparing to establish a state whose features will be close to those of ISIS. The threat of ISIS is still there and its cells are still spread everywhere."

According to the Egyptian expert, the threat of terrorism will grow because of the Americans' failure to consult with their allies in the Middle East, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, regarding the war on terrorism.

In a more recent article, Adib ridiculed the US administration for its readiness to negotiate with Taliban:

"America entered Afghanistan two decades ago in order to eliminate the rule of Taliban... Now, America is negotiating with them. Most of the intelligence reports say that Taliban will extend its political and military control over all Afghan lands. The Americans are leaving Afghanistan despite Taliban's embrace of Al-Qaeda. The American retreat in front of Taliban and Al-Qaeda confirms that we are facing a new scene through which Al-Qaeda may return to the forefront of jihadist action. The biggest catastrophe is that Afghanistan will become the capital of terrorism again, and now we have the threat of Al-Qaeda making a comeback. The battle of terrorism is witnessing a decline after America's withdrawal from Afghanistan as these groups feel proud and victorious, which will push them to continue fighting against America and the Arabs and Europeans."

Adib said that the Taliban succeeded in capturing new areas even before the departure of the American forces from Afghanistan. "This move aims to convey a message to the world that the American withdrawal was nothing but surrender and defeat," he remarked.

"The consequences of the withdrawal will appear within the first year of the withdrawal of the American forces, and Taliban will control Afghanistan completely within two years of it. America, through its policy, will restore the Taliban regime that it toppled twenty years ago, and is also rebuilding the capabilities of Al-Qaeda. America holds a confused vision in the face of terrorism that may portend dire consequences for the world."

Atef Al-Saadawi, an Egyptian expert in strategic and international affairs, warned that the war on terrorism is not over. Saadawi said that ISIS continues to pose a serious threat to security and stability of the world.

"The danger of ISIS is still present," he noted. "The belief that ISIS is finished, and making decisions based on this wrong assumption, are the greatest gift that can be given to this terrorist organization."

Therefore, Al-Saadawi added, "there is a great responsibility of the international coalition to fight ISIS, and the continuation of this alliance should not be a matter of discussion, and its mission should not be affected by the change of the US administration."

Saadawi scoffed at President Joe Biden's statements that the US has achieved its goals in combating the terrorist threat in Afghanistan.

"How can you claim that you have succeeded in combating terrorism without building a nation that incubates moderate ideology and provides a decent living that prevents people from embracing extremists?" he asked.

"While Biden expressed confidence in the ability of the Afghan army to confront the Taliban, he admitted that the Taliban is trying to exploit the American withdrawal and expand its control over the country. The return of the Taliban to control the situation in Afghanistan means a possible and undesirable return of Al-Qaeda and its terrorism and threats to the entire world. Any future government in Afghanistan in which the Taliban participates could contain elements of Al-Qaeda, which will give a huge morale boost to this terrorist organization and help it regroup once again. All indications are that chaos and instability are about to happen in Afghanistan."

As the return of the Lord draws near, we can expect the world to spin more and more out of control.  When the rapture happens and millions vanish and America collapses taking the world's reserve currency with it, the world will quickly find itself in chaos.  They will welcome anyone who shows up who has an idea how to FIX IT!  Of course that man will be the Man of Perdition...the Antichrist.

America may have had a great idea for going into Afghanistan to destroy Osama Bin Laden's training camp and to free the Afghans from their ruthless warlords thereby making civilization possible.  But what happens if the majority of Muslim men in Afghanistan don't want civilization and freedom from Islam?  What if they like beating their wives and killing any of their neighbors who disagree with the Taliban, ISIS and Al Qaida?

Well, a dog does always return to its vomit.  It would appear that Afghanistan is going to do just that.

Social Media; Glorifying God Or Yourself?

 How many Christians are caught up in this mess of trying to show the world how much fun you are having, how many trips you’ve gone on, how cute your family is?  How many folks scroll through Facebook and see how perfect and successful their friends appear only to walk away feeling like you are less than they are?  We know it’s a fact that the more time folks spend looking at others, the more depressed they become.  Think about it.  Is all this posting of everything you are doing really helping out the Kingdom?

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

But should we be more wary about our social media presence? Are we celebrating God-honoring things or are we boasting and promoting our own success? While we fashion perfect posts to elicit the right amount of positive feedback, are we not seeking a bit of envy in others?

A fair number of our friends and followers may not be Christians, but they know we are.  Do they view our prideful posts as proof that we are as conceited and materialistic as the rest of the world? God knew social media would be a 21st Century tool for good or evil. The question we must ask ourselves is how are we using it to promote ourselves instead of our faith?

Are we sharing things that build others up, or only ourselves? Are we inflating our self-worth to become more popular and desirable—or are we seeking to use social media to advance God’s purpose? There is a line that we cross where we reveal our pride in all its ugliness. I have crossed that line plenty of times to know better. Perhaps if I memorized Proverbs 27:2 it would help: “Don’t praise yourself. Let someone else do it. Let the praise come from a stranger and not your own mouth.”

Then there are the battles waged on social media. As Christ-followers, when we share over-zealous posts about politics, share vitriolic opinions, and then get caught up in any of the current media firestorms, we only serve to make us appear like we are part of the problem without any solutions.  This is not our true calling from God. Instead, we should put our posts through the fruit of the spirit editing process: Does it show love, joy, peace. patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control? (Galatians 5:22-23).

What is most concerning in our social media life is the idea that we can self-promote ourselves to a place where God never intended us to be. When we can buy followers and inflate our worth in the social media world, it is totally possible to fool ourselves into thinking we’ve made it—we’re famous in our own eyes. But this promotion is doomed to fail. We know how God feels about pride: “Pride leads to destruction; a proud attitude brings ruin.” Proverbs 16:18
