When Will Everyone Be Resurrected?

 While lots of Christian churches may teach differently about the resurrection of the dead, they ALL have to be in agreement that there WILL be a resurrection of the dead.  We all say it in the Apostle's Creed, so it's part of the Christian faith just like Jesus died and was resurrected is part of the faith.

Here's the simple answer and then I will give you some links from a source I trust.

Jesus was the first resurrection.  He was the "first fruits" and an example of what believers will eventually become.

The next resurrection will happen at the rapture.  All believers from the Day of Pentecost until the trumpet sounds announcing the rapture who have died will be resurrected and given new bodies.  Those of us who are still alive will then be transformed into our new bodies in the twinkling of an eye and together we will all meet Jesus in the air.

Next up will be when Jesus returns to earth to establish his 1000 year reign and sit on David's throne in Jerusalem.  At this point all the people who died having faith in Jesus during the Great Tribulation will be resurrected to rule and reign with Christ for 1000 years.  This is also the time that all the OT saints like Noah, David, John the Baptist, etc... will also be resurrected and given new bodies.

At the end of the 1000 years all the unbelievers throughout all of time will be resurrected and stand at the Great White Throne judgment.  They will bow to Jesus, some will try and convince him that they knew him, but Jesus will sentence them all to eternal damnation at this judgment.

This really only leaves one group to be resurrected.  This would be the people who survived the Great Tribulation as humans and entered into the 1000 years in their human bodies.  They and their kids, grandkids, and all their great, great, great grandkids will still have human bodies throughout the 1000 years.  The Bible doesn't speak specifically as to WHEN they will get their new bodies so that they can inhabit eternity, but some evidence would point to this happening at the end of the 1000 years.  At the end of the 1000 years God is going to burn the entire earth and make a new heavens and a new earth so they will need to have their eternal bodies at this point.

The first great resurrection was the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is documented in each of the four Gospels (Matthew 28; Mark 16; Luke 24; John 20), cited several times in Acts (Acts 1:22; 2:31; 4:2, 33; 26:23), and mentioned repeatedly in the letters to the churches (Romans 1:4; Philippians 3:10; 1 Peter 1:3). Much is made of the importance of Christ’s resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15:12-34, which records that over five hundred people saw Him at one of His post-resurrection appearances. Christ’s resurrection is the “first fruits” or guarantee to every Christian that he will also be resurrected. Christ’s resurrection is also the basis of the Christian’s certainty that all people who have died will one day be raised to face fair and even-handed judgment by Jesus Christ (Acts 17:30-31). The resurrection to eternal life is described as “the first resurrection” (Revelation 20:5-6); the resurrection to judgment and torment is described as “the second death” (Revelation 20:6, 13-15).

The first great resurrection of the Church will occur at the time of the rapture. All those who have placed their trust in Jesus Christ during the Church Age, and have died before Jesus returns, will be resurrected at the rapture. The Church Age began on the Day of Pentecost and will end when Christ returns to take believers back to heaven with Him (John 14:1-3; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). The Apostle Paul explained that not all Christians will die, but all will be changed, i.e., given resurrection-type bodies (1 Corinthians 15:50-58), some without having to die! Christians who are alive, and those who have already died, will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air and be with Him always!

Another great resurrection will occur when Christ returns to earth (His Second Coming) at the end of the Tribulation period. After the rapture, the Tribulation is the next event after the Church Age in God’s chronology. This will be a time of terrible judgment upon the world, described in great detail in Revelation chapters 6-18. Though all Church Age believers will be gone, millions of people left behind on earth will come to their senses during this time and will trust in Jesus as their Savior. Tragically, most of them will pay for their faith in Jesus by losing their lives (Revelation 6:9-11; 7:9-17; 13:7, 15-17; 17:6; 19:1-2). These believers in Jesus who die during the Tribulation will be resurrected at Christ’s return and will reign with Him for a thousand years during the Millennium (Revelation 20:4, 6). Old Testament believers such as Job, Noah, Abraham, David and even John the Baptist (who was assassinated before the Church began) will be resurrected at this time also. Several passages in the Old Testament mention this event (Job 19:25-27; Isaiah 26:19; Daniel 12:1-2; Hosea 13:14). Ezekiel 37:1-14 describes primarily the regathering of the Nation of Israel using the symbolism of dead corpses coming back to life. But from the language used, a physical resurrection of dead Israelis cannot be excluded from the passage. Again, all believers in God (in the Old Testament era) and all believers in Jesus (in the New Testament era) participate in the first resurrection, a resurrection to life (Revelation 20:4, 6).

So there will not be ONE resurrection but many.  But one thing is for sure, EVERYONE WILL BE resurrected at some point.

Preparing for Interplanetary War?

 UFOs and "aliens" are back in the headlines today.  Disclosure by the government that these entities exist has already been done after 70 years of denying, covering up and threatening those with information.  So that part of the narrative has already played out.  And with every article like this making it to mainstream news and discussions the inhabitants of planet earth are totally accepting now that we are not alone in the universe. 

Some believe that the government is now going to allocate time and money in to preparing for interplanetary war with these beings.  Others believe that these alien beings are simply here to try and help humanity.

What we do know for sure is that there are no beings who "evolved" on other planets.  And of course the reason that so many humans now believe the lie is because they first believed the lie that humans evolved from non-life with no intelligent design needed.  They reason that if it happened here on earth then it had to happen on millions of other planets in the exact same way.

What we also know for sure is that that this deception is all part of the Last Days deception that will come upon planet earth during the Great Tribulation.  Those doing the deceiving are the same demons and heavenly powers that have been deceiving men since Satan deceived Eve in the garden.

The U.S. government is finally getting back into the UFO business.

And depending on which UFO believer you ask, it's either a historic step forward to getting to the bottom of conspiracies or a ploy to regain control of the narrative — and possibly even prepare for interplanetary war.

The establishment of a new office, signed into law just before New Year's, to study “unidentified aerial phenomenon” has divided the loose community of activists, researchers and pseudo scientists who hunt for proof that we are not alone in the universe.

Some hail the legislation creating the new office, tucked into section 1683 of the massive National Defense Authorization Act, for bringing new resources, rigor and officialdom to the investigation of a phenomenon — and a potential national security threat — that has long been stigmatized in a way that makes it difficult to study.

“Our national security efforts rely on aerial supremacy and these phenomena present a challenge to our dominance,” said Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., who spearheaded the bipartisan measure. “The United States needs a coordinated effort to take control and understand whether these aerial phenomena belong to a foreign government or something else altogether.”

It’s been decades since Washington formally studied UFOs in any kind of comprehensive way, so one might expect the news would be cause for celebration among so-called ufologists.

But the movement has long believed the government is covering up the greatest secret in history, so many are having a hard time believing the feds want to do anything other than clamp down again after several years in which it became socially acceptable for former presidents and CIA directors to talk publicly about weird things they’d seen in the skies.

Dr. Steven Greer, who retired from the emergency room to pursue the hunt for aliens as the self-described “world’s expert on UFOs,” objects to the notion that UFOs should be treated as a national security threat at all.

As he sees it, aliens are here to help us and the military-industrial complex is hyping their danger and creating the U.S. Space Force to prepare for interplanetary war, arguing movies like “Independence Day” are part of “a false narrative created by covert groups striving to generate fear of ETs.”

But Stephen Bassett, the only lobbyist in Washington dedicated to the “formal acknowledgement by the U.S. government of an extraterrestrial presence,” as his official lobbying disclosure puts it, sees this moment as the culmination of everything he and others have been working toward.

“No, this isn't a new psyops program. It is a planned effort to end the truth embargo,” Bassett said. “While I appreciate those who are skeptical, that group has tried to find the dark side of every development — the hidden hand.”

Instead of a renewed cover-up, Bassett views the new office as one piece of a multiyear plan by a faction of insiders to finally force the government to reveal that it has had contact with aliens for decades.

No, Dr. Greer, the demons are NOT here to help us.

Remember, our battle isn't against flesh and blood but against the forces of evil in the heavenly realms who may soon be visiting the Left Behind humans and deceiving them like never before.

Skull of a Giant Found in China

 After looking at the evidence already found on earth and comparing it with what Genesis 6 has said all along, we are convinced that giant humanoids were roaming the earth before the flood of Noah.  The Bible says they appeared on earth after the flood too.  We have posted the hundreds of newspaper articles found in American papers from the 1800's and early 1900's when farmers would discover giant skeletons buried in mounds on their property.  But somehow all those skeletons were "lost" when they were shipped to the Smithsonian.  Could it be that Satan didn't want this evidence to come out because it would lead people to reject evolution and may convince many to believe the Genesis account?  Of course we already know that the secret power of Satan is very much alive and well on planet earth because he is the Prince of the Earth.

Today we find more evidence of giants.  And already the scientists are clamoring to explain it away because it doesn't meet their evolution narrative.

Truth is often stranger than fiction, and some people will never accept the truth no matter how much evidence you show them.  In this article, I am going to discuss two brand new discoveries that are radically shaking up how scientists view human history.  Many of the experts are having a really tough time explaining these new discoveries, because they seem to directly contradict long established narratives that have been taught as “truth” to young students for decades.  Unfortunately, we live at a time when narratives have become more important than facts, and scientific authorities have shown that they will go to great lengths to ensure that their most important narratives are carefully preserved.

Last week, news that a “new species of ancient human” had been identified in China made headlines all over the globe.  According to CBS News, the fossilized skull that has created such a fuss is “gigantic”…

A gigantic fossilized skull that was hidden in a well in China for 90 years has just been discovered by scientists — and it’s making them rethink human evolution.

The skull was originally found in 1933 by Chinese laborers building a bridge in Harbin, a northern Chinese city, during the Japanese occupation, researchers said. To prevent the skull from falling into Japanese hands, it was wrapped and hidden in an abandoned well. It was only rediscovered in 2018 when the old man who originally hid it told his grandson, shortly before his death.

In order to support a “gigantic fossilized skull”, a body that is also “gigantic” in size would be required.

In other words, what has been discovered in China is the skull of a giant, but nobody in the scientific community would ever dare to use that sort of terminology.

After all, certain narratives must be maintained at all costs.

But the skull is what it is.  We are being told that it is “massive” and that it is “significantly larger than the modern human skull”…

One of the most remarkable aspects of the Harbin cranium is its massive size, which, at 9 inches long and more than 6 inches wide, is significantly larger than the modern human skull.

Unfortunately, most news outlets in the United States are carefully avoiding any discussion about what the rest of the body of this creature must have looked like everyone though one paleoanthropologist is openly admitting that “the massive head should match a height higher than the average of modern humans”…

The researchers believe the skull belonged to a male, about 50 years old, who would have been an impressive physical specimen. His wide, bulbous nose allowed him to breathe huge volumes of air, indicating a high-energy lifestyle, while sheer size would have helped him withstand the brutally cold winters in the region. “Homo longi is heavily built, very robust,” said Prof Xijun Ni, a paleoanthropologist at Hebei. “It is hard to estimate the height, but the massive head should match a height higher than the average of modern humans.”

It only makes sense that a “gigantic” head should go with an equally “gigantic” body, but the scientific community will never, ever come out and tell us that evidence of “giants” has been found.

The Price of Bread Can Bring Revolution

 Some of you may know that we raise cattle from calving in the spring to butchering fat steers in the fall.  Our costs for this little cattle operation went up enormously in 2021 because the price of corn went up about 40% and we feed our fat steers tons of corn every year to get them fat.  Throw in the drought which raised the cost of hay by 50% and dried up our pastures to nothing, and there was little money to be made by raising cattle in Buffalo, MN in 2021.  In fact we lost some thousands of dollars in actual expenses versus income.

I also help a local farmer with spring field work and fall harvest doing field work.  I recently heard from him the cost of fertilizer went up by 400% from last year to this year.  Last year a ton of nitrogen was $425.  This year he's being quoted $1650 per ton.  In his words these price increases are "unsustainable in the long term."

If you think beef and cereal went up at the grocery store last year, just wait until these cost increases make it to the meat market, milk market and bread market this year.

Maybe you were pleased that your employer saw fit to give you a raise of 5% in your wages this past year.  Awesome!  But if gasoline went up 50% and groceries went up 30% did you really end up with more money in your pocket from your raise?  Or at the end of the year did you actually end up with less money in your pocket?  I think you know the answer.  That's why inflation is such an unseen "tax" on your income.  Clearly it doesn't affect the rich who only eat and drive the same amount as you do.  But it does affect the working class and middle class a great deal.  How long can this go on before the people rise up and say, "Enough!"

Politicians can get away with an astonishing level of corruption and incompetence, and their citizens will tolerate it. But if enough people struggle to put food on the table for their families, trouble is coming.

Any politician with half a brain understands this lesson. Sadly it's not clear if the people in charge today even have half a brain.

Inflation has been rising for nearly a year. None of the so-called experts saw it coming. Even when inflation was obvious, their approach was to gaslight people and deny it.

Then they told us that inflation was "transitory".

Then when they finally admitted it was a problem, they said they'd consider doing something about it in a few months.

After its two-day meeting this week, officials from the Federal Reserve are expected to announce that they're FINALLY going to take some action to combat inflation... in MARCH.

So just sit tight another month and a half. 

Unfortunately, any action the Fed takes at this point is "too little, too late".

Today's inflation is the result of a number of factors- demand, supply, and money.

On the demand side, the federal government literally deposited cash in people's bank accounts, fueling a surge in consumer spending.

Yet on the supply side, they closed businesses, told people to stay home, and compelled companies to fire millions of heretical workers.

The end result is fewer goods and services being produced, at a time when people have more money to spend and the appetite to do so. This is what has caused rising prices.

Yet on top of this mess, the Federal Reserve has been supercharging inflation by shoveling money into the US economy by the trillions.

Now they're promising to reduce their money printing and promise to have a few tiny, symbolic interest rate increases.

Sorry, but this won't really move the needle, especially when it comes to food.

Most people would be surprised at how labor intensive agriculture is. Certainly there are a number of crops (especially grain) that are fully mechanized throughout the entire process- planting, maintenance, harvest, and distribution.

But many key food products require significant manpower at some point in the chain.

Meat, for example, is very labor intensive because of the number of people required to run a pack house operation.

And many staple fruits and vegetables require an army of harvest workers to hand pick the produce.

So now, because of Covid (and the government response to Covid) pack houses in the US are struggling to maintain staff. And finding enough harvest workers in America has become borderline impossible.

There's also a major problem in US agriculture that so many farm costs, from fertilizers to fuel to even packing materials (like cardboard and plastic containers) are soaring. And these costs are all obviously passed on to consumers.

Container ports also continue to be a major bottleneck, as meat, fruit, vegetables imported from overseas are literally rotting off the coast of California.

Increasing interest rates by 0.25% is not going to fix any of these issues. It won't clear the ports, and it won't bring the workers back.

Fortunately it's not 1789 anymore. And even though capitalism is on the ropes, there's enough of it remaining for now to prevent dire food shortages.

Talented people around the world are working very hard to ensure that quality food is being grown and delivered to consumers, despite every obstacle the government puts in their way.

So I'm not suggesting that food riots are imminent.

But rising prices? Absolutely. And that's going to have serious implications for political leadership.

Here;  The Lessons Of History - The Price Of Bread Can Bring Revolution (prophecynewswatch.com)

Remember a few things;  If the politicians and Federal Reserve screw up our money system enough, the $1 million we worked hard to save these past 30 years possible won't be enough to buy a used Prius.  All savings would be wiped out.  Also remember that the Bible is very clear that massive inflation will be part of the Last Days.  Hopefully it won't happen until AFTER the rapture.  But it clearly says that inflation will be so bad that men will work all day long just to get enough money to buy the food they need to sustain their lives.  Meanwhile, the rich folks of those days will still have enough to not only buy their food but also still have enough to buy oil and wine...which will be a luxury, in those days, for the working class.

The rich folks will meet their demise at the very end but the poor and middle class will be wiped out first.

So, as followers of Christ we continue to understand why Jesus told us to lay up our treasure in heaven where bugs, rust and inflation will never destroy them.

Dark Outlook by Americans for America

 The mood in America seems to be going dark.  Most of us can see the massive divide between GOP and DFL and realize that nothing is going to get done because these folks quite obviously can't stand each other.  We can see the divide between terrified mask wearers on the Liberal side vs. the "I refuse to live my life in terror" attitude of those on the conservative side.  We can see employers who are "woke" firing employees who refuse to be vaccinated.  Further we can see those same employers denying the science of natural immunity by allowing Covid-recovered employees to keep their jobs.  We have the Liberals who believe that if the folks in Mexico aren't happy they should be allowed to walk into America and start gathering at the public trough.  We see Liberals who want to see an I.D. and a PROOF OF VACCINE card in order to get into any sporting event or restaurant but FREAK OUT if Conservatives suggest that people show an I.D. in order to cast a vote.  And Joe Biden did NOTHING to bring people together.  He's making it worse.

Between a senile teleprompter president who recently admitted he can't in fact 'shut down' Covid as promised, rampant inflation causing real wages to stagnate, and ongoing division over everything from election integrity to pandemic mandates to what's being taught in schools, Americans have become extremely sour on the future - less than 10 months before midterm elections.

"Downhill, divided, doubting democracy, falling behind, and tuning out — this is how Americans are feeling as they're heading into 2022," said Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt of Hart Research Associates, who conducted the survey with conservative pollster Bill McInturff of Public Opinion Strategies.

The poll has "President Joe Biden's approval ratings remaining in the low 40s, Republicans holding a double-digit edge in enthusiasm and key Democratic groups losing interest in the upcoming election."

On the economy, while job creation is up and the unemployment rate is down, 61 percent of respondents in the poll say their family’s income is falling behind the cost of living.

That’s compared with 30 percent who say they’re staying about even and 7 percent who say their income is going up faster than the cost of living. -NBC News

When it comes to national policies - 70% say America is so polarized that it can no longer solve major issues - and that the division will only continue to grow. 27% on the other hand feel that America always overcomes its differences to solve the greatest challenges. In 2010, 50% of those polled said America 'always comes together,' and 45% said political differences would continue to grow.

The timing couldn't be worse for Democrats - who have fewer than 300 days until the November midterm elections. While 47% of those polled by NBC say they prefer a Democratic-controlled congress, one should keep in mind that 47% of those polled voted also voted for Biden, while 44% voted for Trump.

Republicans enjoy a double-digit advance on enthusiasm ahead of November’s elections, with 61 percent of Republicans saying they are very interested in the upcoming midterms — registering their interest either as a 9 or 10 on a 10-point scale — compared with 47 percent of Democrats who say the same.

In previous midterm cycles — whether 2006, 2010, 2014 or 2018 — the party that held a double-digit advantage in enthusiasm ended up making substantial gains.

Additionally, overall enthusiasm for the upcoming midterms is down from 59 percent who indicated a high level of interest in October, to 51 percent in this most recent poll.

And some of the biggest drops have come from key segments of the Democratic base, including Black voters, young voters and urban voters. -NBC News

Here;  "Dark Outlook": Dismal NBC Poll Reveals Most Americans Think Country Going "Downhill" And Is "Lost" | ZeroHedge

The real problem confronting America is the huge move away from FEARING THE LORD.  Without the fear of the Lord their is no wisdom, no discernment, no common sense and no joy.  Happiness comes and goes based on what happened to you 5 minutes ago, but the joy of the Lord comes when you surrender you life to Christ and start focusing on heavenly things instead of earthly things.  Then you can be joyful even when circumstances all around you have gone to crap because we know this earth is not our home.  Soon and very soon we are going to see the King.

"The joy of the Lord is my strength".

Dough Without Yeast Carried in Troughs Covered With Cloth

 In doing my Bible reading this morning I noticed something cool that I maybe hadn’t seen in a while.  We are in Exodus and the Passover has just happened.  The Israelites have killed the spotless lamb and covered their doors with the blood of the lamb.  The angel of death has passed over all of them and now Pharoah has told them they can leave Egypt.  They leave exactly 430 years to the day from when Jacob and his family had first arrived.

So of course the entire Passover story is foreshadowing Jesus who would arrive as OUR spotless, sinless, lamb. And so we are covered by his blood so the wrath of God is no longer upon us.

So here is the verse that jumped out at me today from Exodus 12:34

34 So the people took their dough before the yeast was added, and carried it on their shoulders in kneading troughs wrapped in clothing.

I had never seen the detail of Jesus in that verse before.  Jesus is the bread of life. Jesus was free from yeast in his flesh which of course is sin. The yeast-less dough left Egypt being carried in troughs wrapped in cloth.

1500 years later Jesus was born in Bethlehem and laid in a feeding trough wrapped in clothes.

The detail of our God never ceases to amaze!

Some More Great Words From Amir Tsarfati

 We have heard some great words in the past from this Israeli-Christian who also serves in the Israeli military and has been a frequent guest on Jan Markell.  Today we find more from him.

"Things are not gonna get better. Yes, I have the gift of encouragement. But I will tell you, you’ve seen nothing yet. And I say that just so you understand that you must stay in the Word, and you must hold on to the promises that we have and remember that He who promised is faithful. He cannot change. Even if we are faithless, He is faithful because He cannot deny Himself. That’s the God we serve. God is not waiting for your approval. Will you allow me to do this or that? No. I always tell people that we live in a world where things have been already seen by God. And, thankfully, He sends us an email with an attachment telling us exactly what is going to happen by His grace. Isaiah 46:9-10 says, “I am God, there is no other; I am God, there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times, things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure.” God is never taken by surprise.”

A wonderful pastor and friend, Chuck Smith, used to equate our view of the world with watching a parade. We are seated on the curb and can only see what is passing by in front of us. God, however, is seated in majesty on high and can see the whole parade from beginning to end. There are multiple things we can glean from this wonderful word picture.

 

The first is that if God has seen it and said it, it is going to happen just as He said. This is one of the most crucial parts of understanding and applying Biblical prophecy. Prophecy is not predictions, it is the revelation of information that God has already seen that we cannot observe from our perspective on the curb. In other words, if God has already seen it and had His prophets record it, then nothing is going to change it. We cannot change things we have already seen happen, and God, from His seat on high, has already seen the future and revealed His response to the actions of man and Satan.

 

The second thing for us to consider about Bible prophecy is that while there is figurative language used to describe situations and events in order that all generations may understand them, the only way to interpret them is literally, not allegorically:

 

Revelation 9:7-11
The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were crowns of something like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men. They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth. And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle. They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months. And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon.

 

John repeatedly inserts the preposition “like” to inform us he is doing his best to describe what he is seeing in terms we can all understand, no matter what point in the “parade” we are living. There are, during the tribulation, going to be a swarm of locust-like creatures who look like battle horses, with human-looking faces, hair like a woman, and teeth like lions, and when they fly their wings will make a sound similar to the thundering hoofs of many horses pulling chariots behind them into battle. Their king is the Destroyer who rules the bottomless pit. (Abaddon and Apollyon mean “Destroyer”.)

 

Maybe now would be a good time to pause and remind us all that the church – born again believers – will not be here to see and experience this! But it is going to happen as the Bible says. This is why it is important to understand what prophecy actually is as it relates to the last days. It is God revealing what is going to happen in the future with the same clarity we would report on something that has happened in the past. Some have described prophecy as “history in advance”.

 

Isaiah 46:9-10
“Remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure.’”

 

What an incredible concept to consider that we know and serve a God who sits on high and can talk about tomorrow with the same certainty as we can talk about yesterday. He knows how things began because He began them, and He knows how things will end for He will end them. He has also told us where things are going and we can believe with certainty that it is where they are going.

 

So do we just sit back and watch them unfold because they are inevitable? To do so would deny our roles as being salt and light. So what do we do? Consider another word picture: imagine you had a near brush with death and barely missed going off a bridge that had been washed out. It would have meant certain death, as your car would have plunged into the raging flood waters below. You have information about this bridge that others don’t have and there is no question more vehicles are headed the same way.

 

Since you know what lies ahead, you cannot just sit back and bask in the glow of your own escape. You must try to stop others from meeting the fate you avoided. God has told us the future for a reason and it is not just so we can only rejoice over what we missed. It is so we can tell others how to miss certain death by changing their direction in life.

 

Jude 20-23
But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And on some have compassion, making a distinction; but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.

 

God has told us through His word what the last days will be like – perilous, loveless, truth-less, filled with deceptions and delusions that cause people to live like the bridge is not out up ahead. But the bridge is out and we need to warn them, pulling them out of the fire.

 

Tell someone today about the hope you have in Jesus and warn them that the bridge is out up ahead and the only way to avoid certain death is through Him.

 

Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus

80% of All US Dollars Created in Past 2 Years

 The financial world will one day have a massive meltdown.  The Bible tells us so.  As we fill up our cars on $3.20 gasoline and buy a bag of salad at the grocery store for $6 and notice the price of meat skyrocketing it can make one wonder if all the ingredients are here for massive inflation leading to a massive financial mess?

It's a very simple fact that if you print massive amounts of paper currency it will devalue the currency that was already out there sitting in your savings account.  If you did nothing else but double the amount of dollars during a short period of time, prices of goods would automatically double.

Now check out this report with a Federal Reserve chart attached that shows just how much money has been printed out of thin air in the past few years?  And rather than be alarmed about it, the Biden administration just keeps pushing for more and more spending which will require more and more money printing leading to more and more inflation.

Please remember that ONLY the ultra rich would survive a massive inflationary meltdown.  Even if you had managed to squirrel away $1 million dollars over the past 30 years in your savings, what good would it do if you awoke next year to find out the price of a used car was now $1 million.  You think that could never happen?  It HAS already happened many times before in many places.

Since March of 2020, Americans and the world alike have watched from the sidelines as power-hungry politicians have ushered in draconian lockdowns, shutdowns, police state measures, and brought the economy to its knees. While governments around the planet used their central banks to devalue their currencies by printing money to fund their tyranny, the US led the way down this road to fiscal horror.

Thanks to the trillions of dollars the Federal Reserve has printed over the last two years, America is currently in an inflation crisis. One need only look at the price of groceries over the last two years to realize just how bad of a crisis we are currently experiencing.

As the Biden Administration blames high prices on greedy industries, this is little more than a distraction from the actual perpetrator. Nevertheless, the left continues to attribute soaring costs on businesses making "too much profit."

While these corporations are not innocent in this debacle, the role of America's central bank is far more insidious. As government spending has skyrocketed over the last two years, they have financed their massive expenditures by stealing value from your savings by printing more money through the central bank.

When you print more money it means there are more dollars chasing the same amount of goods and services, which causes prices to rise. In just the past three fiscal years, federal spending has swollen to nearly $7 trillion a year, up from about $4.4 trillion in fiscal year 2019. Spending was $6.6 trillion in 2020, and $6.8 trillion in 2021.

If we want to put this into perspective, we can take a look at the monetary supply at the beginning of 2020, which showed just $4.0192 trillion in circulation. By January 2021, that number had jumped up to $6.7 trillion -- but this was only the beginning.

By November of last year, that number climbed to $20.354 trillion dollars in circulation -- meaning that since January 2020, the United States has printed nearly 80% of all US dollars in existence. 

Not coincidentally, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) which tracks the cost of everyday items has seen a similar increase. It's shot up a whopping 6.8 percent over the past year, the biggest increase in almost 40 years. Gas is up 51 percent, beef is up 20 percent, and furniture by 11 percent.

Since 1913, all of this taxation, inflation, and fiscal irresponsibility has been facilitated largely by the group responsible for printing America's currency -- the infamous privately owned, Federal Reserve Bank.

Unfortunately, we are entering uncharted waters in regard to money printing and even the mainstream media is being forced to report on it now. 

Instead of proposing solutions to the policies that got us into this debacle, the Biden administration is doubling down by throwing another $2 trillion at the problem through the "Build Back Better" plan.


Please remember that America is the leader of the financial world.  If we make a massive mistake with our dollars and start melting down, the rest of the financial world will also start melting down.  And of course this will give rise to a NEW WORLD ORDER with a new financial system...one that will require a mark on your body to access.  It's GOING TO HAPPEN.  We just can't say exactly when, but the conditions are now ripe.  Many now believe the only reason it hasn't happened yet is because God's staying hand is still upon it, waiting for HIS perfect timing to pull out the rug.  We hope that the rapture of the church is the event that will pull the rug.
