Preparing Religions on Earth to Discover “Aliens”

 I’m convinced that the world continues to be prepped for a massive deception involving demons/fallen angels.  It’s very likely that the Antichrist will be involved in this massive deception.  It’s also very possible that when “God sends great delusion” on those people left behind who heard the truth of Jesus Christ but rejected it, will have something to do with them believing the lie about the “aliens”.  As the article says, the false belief that “aliens evolved” just like humans did on earth may force us to rewrite the creation story of Genesis.  This will never happen!  God came to earth as a human being that we were all created in His image.  There is no name under all of heaven by which mankind is saved except the name of Jesus!  I believe this is one other converging sign showing us the nearness of the return of Christ to snatch His bride away from this deceived world.

In a rather bizarre move, NASA has recruited a British priest to prepare the religious for the discovery of alien life as space agencies claim to be getting closer to discovering evidence that life exists outside of planet earth reports The Times.

Reverend Dr. Andrew Davison, a priest and theology professor at the University of Cambridge, is among 24 theologians who participated in a program sponsored by NASA at the space agency’s Center for Theological Inquiry (CTI) at Princeton University. The theologians attempted to assess how major religions would react to news of alien life being found.

The appointment comes as NASA’s $10billion James Webb Space Telescope is scheduled to launch on Christmas day.

The vessel will implement cutting-edge technology to examine every phase of cosmic history inside the solar system to the most distant observable galaxies in the early universe.

The device, which features infrared capabilities, will study a wide array of scientific questions to help mankind better understand the “origins of the universe and humans’ place in it.”

A NASA expert said The Times: “We may not discover life for 100 years. Or we may discover it next week.”

Davidson seeks to answer theological questions such as whether or not God made life in other parts of the universe or if he sent a savior to die for the sins of aliens.

Another question the British priest seeks to tackle is if discovering extraterrestrial life demands religions to rewrite the entire story of creation in Genesis.

Merry Christmas! We Have a Very Bright Future to Look Forward to

 1 Corinthians 2:9

However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”— the things God has prepared for those who love him—

Pretty amazing to ponder what we are going to see and experience very soon!  It’s very possible that we are the last generation—the ones who are going to hear the trumpet, see the dead rise into glory and then exchange our mortal bodies for bodies that are like Jesus’ body in the twinkling of an eye.

But even if lots of us don’t see it and die before he blows the trumpet, that also is going to happen very soon.  We are just a mist that lives life on earth for a very short time and then our bodies go to the grave while our soul goes to be with Jesus!  To live is Christ and to die is gain!

As we celebrate the birth of God into human flesh to save us from perishing, let’s keep our eyes on the prize and let’s be busy doing the only thing we are commanded to do...spread the truth that Jesus is the only way to have eternal life with our Creator.

When I was first becoming a Bible reader and was super excited about what I was learning, one of my co workers came into my office and saw me reading the Bible.  He told me, “Don’t become so heavenly minded that you become no earthly good!”

In reality he was 180 degrees wrong on what the truth is!  The Bible exhorts us; “Don’t become so earthly minded that you become no heavenly good!”

Merry Christmas everyone!  Jesus as suffering servant the first time he came.  Jesus as warrior, judge, executioner and King the next time he comes to earth.  But before that, all believers will be called into the sky to meet Jesus in the air and be taken to an incredible celebration!  What a day that will be!  Maranatha!

Turkey’s Currency Disintegrates

 This is a warning for all governments who believe that there currency will always have value.  It’s simply not true.  We watch Turkey since they are a named player in the Ezekiel 38 coalition and we wonder how this collapsing economy might come into play to bring them closer into orbit with Russia and Iran. Just imagine as Americans what it would feel like to have the value of the US Dollar drop by 50% in one year!  If you had worked hard to squirrel away $100,000 into your savings account and by year end it would only buy $50,000 worth of goods, everyone would pull their money and go buy something before the value drops by another 50%  This in turn would lead to even more rising prices as demand for everything goes up as everyone looks to buy something instead of holding savings.  Could it happen here in America?  Absolutely.  “Lay up your treasures in heaven where moth and rust will not destroy them.”

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

Another day, another collapse in the Turkish lira, only this time there was a twist: as the hyperinflating currency implodes, Erdogan has finally had enough of the relentless pummeling, and is starting to shut down Turkey's markets.

But first, let's back up: heading into Friday, the lira accelerated its historic descent, weakening past the 16 per-dollar mark for the first time ever, as the central bank's pledge to end a four-month cycle of interest rate cuts on Thursday failed to convince investors that inflation can be brought to heel. That was just the start however, and the currency plunge only accelerated crashing as low as 17.14 just hours later, bringing declines this week to 17%. YTD the currency has lost more than half of its value!

As a reminder, the central bank yesterday cut its benchmark one-week repo rate by a further 100 basis points to 14%, its fourth reduction since September spurred by demands from President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to lower borrowing costs in the face of surging consumer prices as part of his batshit insane monetary policy Erdoganomics whose only possible outcome is the collapse of Turkey's economy and hyperinflation. The resulting sell-off accelerated a 54% plunge in the currency so far this year as real rates fall further below zero with inflation now standing at an annual 21.3%.

12 Signs We Are Living on the Edge of Eternity

 Found a great list from a prophecy writer that should keep us all looking up because our redemption seems very close.

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

1. Rebirth of Israel

The rebirth of Israel forms the bedrock of our conviction that we live in the last days of human history as we know it. Most, if not all, other end-time prophecies depend on a restored Israel. For example, according to Jesus, the antichrist’s future defilement of the temple happens during the Tribulation (Daniel 9:27; Matthew 24:15). This could not happen apart from the rebirth of Israel as a nation.

The reemergence of Israel in 1948 as a nation after two thousand years was an astounding miracle, and it happened precisely as the prophet Isaiah predicted (66:8). It sets the stage for the rest of the signs regarding the end of the age.

2. Third Temple Preparations

In AD 180, church father Irenaeus wrote that someday the antichrist would defile a rebuilt temple. [i] Isaac Newton, known for his great scientific mind and discoveries, predicted over two hundred years in advance that Israel would again become a nation. Not only that, but he also predicted that the antichrist would desecrate the temple during the Tribulation period.

Today, this third temple is far along in the planning phase. Based on over thirty years of research, the Temple Institute in Israel has prepared most of the furnishings for it, procured the architectural plans for it, and is training Levites to serve as its priests. The fervor for building this temple is strong within the nation. Israel has already begun planning the infrastructure to deal with the large crowd of visitors once it’s completed.

Recently, the Facebook page of the Temple Institute in Israel displayed a LEGO depiction of the planned third temple in Israel.

3. Vaccine Mandates/Passports

The vaccine mandates, along with the issuing of vaccine passports, foreshadow the coming mark of the beast as depicted in Revelation 13:16-18. In several places in America and around the world, one cannot eat in restaurants or attend public events without proof of vaccination.

In a previous post, Transhumanism: The Path to the Mark of the Beast, I demonstrate how current technology, meant to enforce vaccinations, will later lead directly to the fulfillment of Revelation 13:16-18.

What we see today with the mask and vaccine mandates is conditioning people to accept the future mark of the beast. The push for transhumanism on the part of the most powerful people in the world lies behind the vaccine mandates of so many governments around the world.

4. Worldwide Obsession with the COVID-19 Vaccines

In Revelation 18, which speaks to the destruction of Babylon, we find these words, “and all nations were deceived by your sorcery” (v. 23). The word for “sorcery” in the Greek is Pharmakeia from which we get our English word “pharmaceuticals.” It’s more than a little interesting that during the Tribulation, drugs will be a key means of deception.

As JD Farag points out, there has never been a time when all the nations of the world are promoting a vaccine. Some are more forceful than others, but that does not diminish the prophesied worldwide obsession over them that we already witness.

Peter Koenig, a geopolitical analyst and former Senior Economist at the World Bank and the World Health Organization (WHO), wrote the following about the universal push for the COVID-19 injections.

What these measures do – “Vaccination Certificate / Passport” for the jabbed – is to separate society into the “good ones,” the “vaccinated” ones; and the “bad guys,” those who are not vaccinated, do not intend to get the deadly jab ….

. . . all 193 UN member countries whose governments have been coopeted in a long preparation period – would like you to believe that the non-vaccinated are a danger for society. [ii]

Just as John predicted in Revelation 18:23 in regard to the seven-year Tribulation, we find that all the nations of the world are already hooked on a Pharmakeia, or what we know as the COVID-19 vaccines.

5. The Great Reset/Build Back Better

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, the phrases “Great Reset” and “build back better” have become a part of our vocabulary, but so few recognize the sinister agenda behind them.

The “Great Reset” represents the building back of sustainable economic and environmental systems to replace the current failed system; i.e., capitalism. Klaus Schwab, the founder and chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF), unveiled his Marxist agenda in May of 2020, hoping to capitalize on the turmoil caused by COVID-19.

Klaus Schwab said this in July of 2020, “The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world.” [iii] Here “reimagine” equals the merging of humans with machines, and “reset” refers to the Marxist regime that the WEF promotes under via its build back better campaign. The Great Reset is the economic side of the New World Order envisioned under the UN’s agenda 2030.

Prophetically speaking, these phrases point to the coming kingdom of the antichrist that’s already forming throughout the world. Do not be deceived by benign-sounding terms such as “build back better”; they foreshadow a wicked tyranny that will be far worse than anything the world has ever experienced.

6. Prince Charles’ Speech at COP26 

Prince Charles, speaking about climate action at the COP26 Climate Summit in Glasgow on November 1, 2021, made a startling statement regarding “economic transition,” which is the Great Reset advocated by the WEF that helped sponsor the event. Here is a quote from his speech:

We also know that countries, many of whom are burdened by growing levels of debt, simply cannot afford to go green. Here we need a vast military-style campaign to marsh the strength of the global private sector, with trillions at his disposal far beyond global GDP, and with the greatest respect, beyond even the governments of the world’s leaders. It offers the only real prospect of achieving fundamental economic transition. [iv]

Many students of biblical prophecy wonder about Charles’ reference to having trillions of dollars at “his disposal.” Who is this mysterious person? Could it be the coming “lawless one” waiting in the wings for the right time to step onto the world stage?

How eerie is it that Prince Charles may have actually referred to the antichrist as someone already alive and able to demand such allegiance?

He also may have inadvertently confirmed that the massive transfer of wealth to corporations and the rich taking place through the climate change emergency and the COVID-19 vaccines is all about the coming New World Order.

7. Inflation

The inflation that’s sweeping across America and much of the world is just a small sampling of what lies ahead in the not-too-distant future. For many years, I have suspected that the economic turmoil described in Revelation 6:5-6 was just around the corner. In several ways, the fact that it has not yet happened defies some of the things I learned about economics in my MBA classes at the University of Iowa.

I believe the Lord is sovereignly holding back the fulfillment of the economic chaos predicted in Revelation 6. At some future point, however, the Lamb will open this seal and unleash the monetary crisis that many financial experts predict will happen as the result of the massive worldwide debt and printing of money.

8. Deception

Scripture tells us that the Tribulation period will be a time of widespread deception upon the earth (Matthew 24:23-25; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12; Revelation 13:11-15). The antichrist will deceive multitudes of people who will, in turn, worship him.

The amount of deception present in our world takes my breath away; it’s staggering. The duplicity already rampant in our world tells me that the Lord is already preparing the world for the future “wicked deception” that will pave the way for the rule of the antichrist (2 Thessalonians 2:10).

9. Lawlessness

In Matthew 24:12, Jesus predicted that during the Tribulation, the world would see an increase in “lawlessness.” In 2 Thessalonians 2:3-9, Paul refers to the antichrist as the “lawless one” and the “man of lawlessness.” Lawlessness will define both the antichrist and his kingdom.

With enough time and research, I could write a very long post detailing the multitude of evidence pertaining to the increased lawlessness in our world. In the U.S., we read of flash mobs that overwhelm stores and steal vast amounts of valuable merchandise. Calls to defund the police and the virtual elimination of bail for arrested criminals all add fuel to the fire of the anarchy and violence present in some cities in the U.S. A dozen cities have already broken records for murders in a year’s time.

We also see lawlessness at the government level in America and across the world as elected officials defy written laws and constitutions and impose their own selfish will upon those they govern.

10. The Rise of a One-World Religion

Under the guidance of Pope Francis and many other religious leaders, the One-World Religion complex in the United Arab Emirates will open in 2022. The website for this initiative describes it as follows:

The Abrahamic Family House will be a beacon of mutual understanding, harmonious coexistence, and peace among people of faith and goodwill. It consists of a mosque, church, synagogue, and educational center to be built on Saadiyat Island, the cultural heart of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. Through its design, it captures the values shared between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and serves as a powerful platform for inspiring and nurturing understanding and acceptance between people of goodwill. The vision for the Abrahamic Family House originated after the signing of the Document on Human Fraternity by Pope Francis and Grand Imam Ahmed Al-Tayeb in February 2019. [v]

Could there be a clearer indicator of the nearness of one-world religion that will emerge during the Tribulation? I don’t think so.

11. Mocking/Loss of Faith

The Apostle Peter warned about scoffers who would arrive on the scene during the last days asking this question, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation” (2 Pet. 3:4).

Jude echoes this sentiment in regard to latter-day scoffers in verses 17-19:

“But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. They said to you, ‘In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.’ It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit.”

During much of the twentieth century, Bible-believing churches proclaimed our “blessed hope” (Titus 2:11-14) as the pretribulation Rapture, and no one laughed. Today, it’s mocked from many pulpits and ridiculed by a great many people both within and outside the church, just as the apostles said would happen in the last days.

12. Gog/Magog War

It’s staggering to contemplate how the prophet Ezekiel, who lived 2,600 years ago, could have so accurately predicted the current situation in the Middle East. Only God could reveal the future with such precision.

Consider three key aspects of his prophecy in chapter 38:

1. Russia, Iran, and Turkey will form a close alliance that will lead the future invasion of Israel (see 38:1-6; it’s based on ancient names for these nations).
2. The prosperity of Israel will cause this group to invade (38:10-12). Israel has incredible wealth through natural gas and oil, among other things.
3. Gulf nations such as Saudi Arabia will merely protest the greed of the invaders rather than join with them (38:13).

Who could possibly have predicted these three things just twenty-five years ago apart from the words Ezekiel wrote long, long ago?

We see tensions continually rising as Israel repeatedly bombs Iranian installations in Syria and sabotages nuclear facilities within Iran.

Today, everything is in place for the spark that will ignite this war. I believe it will happen when the Lord puts into the heart of Gog to go after the current riches in Israel (Ezekiel 38:4, 16).

It’s Time to Look Up

It’s the sum total of these signs, along with others, that tell us we live in the last moments before our Lord Jesus intervenes in world history. As believers, it’s time to live with the awareness that Jesus’ return to take us home is ever so close. It’s time to look up in eager anticipation of the completion of our adoption into God’s family and the redemption of our physical bodies (Romans 8:23-25).

I am not saying He will come for us this year or the next, although that is entirely possible. I am saying that the biblical signs of the last day tell us that we already live in the shadow of the rapidly approaching Tribulation period, which signifies that our homegoing must also be close.

Things That Make You Say “Hmmm?”

 We saw this list in an article and thought it was worth sharing.  The Bible is clear in 2nd Thessalonians that God himself will send great delusion upon those folks left on earth who heard the Gospel but rejected it. We are reminded that great events that will happen during the Tribulation cast their shadows backwards. So we continue to wonder if this delusional thinking we see happening all around us is a foreshadowing of the great delusion God will send after Jesus comes to snatch His bride off the earth?

Ex-US Generals Warn of Coup and Civil War in 2024

 We have blogged frequently about Civil war in America.  How long can can two groups coexist with each other when they are so split in their world views?  How long can a nation continue when so many of it's leaders hate the country they were elected to lead?  Think about Mn Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and her squad of idiots who were given the privaledge of becoming Americans and then see fit to tear it down?

Today we find some former Generals on the liberal side of things who are warning that 2024 could see a split in the military amongst Trump-type supporters verses Democrat supporters.  They warn that this could lead to Civil War.

Three Trump-obsessed former generals penned a conspiracy theory laden op-ed for The Washington Post late last week warning of a potential coup and civil war in 2024 unless certain steps are taken now to nullify the threat.

These steps include purging the military of those accused of wrongthink, making it “perfectly clear to every member” of America’s armed forces “whom they answer to” and prosecuting any Republican who challenged the 2020 presidential election results.

Written by retired U.S. Army Gen. Paul D. Eaton, retired U.S. Army Major Gen. Antonio M. Taguba and retired U.S. Army Brigadier Gen. Steven M. Anderson, the piece centers around the thesis that after Democrats win the 2024 election, Republicans will install a shadow government.

This shadow government, the generals claim, will be led by either former President Trump “or another Trumpian figure.”

“Imagine competing commanders in chief — a newly reelected Biden giving orders, versus Trump (or another Trumpian figure) issuing orders as the head of a shadow government. Worse, imagine politicians at the state and federal levels illegally installing a losing candidate as president,” the generals write.

“All service members take an oath to protect the U.S. Constitution. But in a contested election, with loyalties split, some might follow orders from the rightful commander in chief, while others might follow the Trumpian loser. Arms might not be secured depending on who was overseeing them. Under such a scenario, it is not outlandish to say a military breakdown could lead to civil war.”

Here;  Former generals warn of coup, civil war in '24, call for military purge over fear troops may 'follow the Trumpian loser' (bizpacreview.com)

This weekend I saw numerous repostings on social media of a comment that went something like this: Enough already!  Let's build a big wall in America and put the terrified, "government save me!", mask wearing idiots on one said and put the freedom-loving, live my own life, God-fearing folks on the other!"  There were thousands of LIKES to this comment.

So how much longer can we continue on this track?

Of course we have said it numerous times that we hope America stays intact and somewhat status quo until the rapture of the church seals her fate.  When millions of God-fearing, Holy Spirit filled people vanish in the twinkling of an eye to meet Jesus in the clouds, all hell will break loose for America and the world.

"While they are saying 'peace and safety', destruction will come upon them suddenly."

Iran Prepping to Launch Space Vehicle Capable of Carrying Nuke to Israel

 We know that Iran’s nuke facilities are underground, way underground and even under mountains.  They are “hardened” which will make Israel use its best technology to use bunker missiles which can drill into rock before exploding.  But what if Israel decided to destroy this space launch center in Iran which seems like it would slow Iran’s capability of delivering a nuke into Israel?  Let’s watch what Israel does in next few weeks.  As the article points out it’s interesting that Iran is doing this WHILE it’s negotiating with Western powers.  Just remember that the Bible is clear that once God has regathered the Jews from all the nations where they had been scattered for 2000 years and planted them on the LAND that he promised Abraham, Israel will NEVER be totally destroyed again. 

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

Satellite images of the Iranian Space Center show that Iran is preparing to send a space-launch vehicle out of the atmosphere, a new report by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs said on Wednesday.

The report, by Lt. Col. (ret.) Michael Segall, a senior analyst at the JCPA, noted that the development is occurring as nuclear talks between Iran and world powers are occurring in Vienna, adding that “the action may be intended as leverage to further pressure the West in the negotiations.”

“It is widely suspected that Iran is seeking to connect its nuclear capabilities to launch vehicles for nuclear weapons,” added the report.

In February of this year, Iran launched a new, powerful, three-stage rocket called “Zuljanah,” claiming it could lift “a 500-pound payload as high as 310 miles.”

The U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency found that an Iranian space launch vehicle called “Simorgh” could be “capable of ICBM ranges if configured as a ballistic missile,” according to the report. The space satellite is to be launched again by the Simorgh rocket, which has a range of 4,000km, from the Imam Khomeini Spaceport. Iran is 3,000 kilometers from Israel.
