"Israel is an Evil State and Must be Destroyed"

Last week a woman journalist from Al Jezeera was killed in the Palestinian Territories while covering a story of unrest.  Her funeral was this week and the Muslims were out in force calling for the destruction of Israel whom they accuse of shooting her.  Israel has denied the charge and they have asked to see the bullet that killed her but last I read, the Palestinian authorities had refused.  The Hamas terrorists have a long proven history of killing or maiming their own people to whip up hatred of Israel in hopes it will make them more popular.  But this story is hi-lighting the hatred for Jews and Israel coming from a South African communist party made up of black people.  So you see, black people can be racist too!  Gonna guess you won’t see this story reported on CNBC.

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

 Israel is an "evil state which must be destroyed as a matter of urgency," South Africa's radical left-wing communist party Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) said in a statement released after the violent clashes during the funeral of Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh last week.

The EFF, the third-largest party in the South African parliament, is a pan-Africanist faction that "draws inspiration from the broad Marxist–Leninist tradition," according to its constitution. The party and its leader, Julius Malema, have been criticized for encouraging racist sentiments against whites and Indians and Malema himself was twice convicted of hate speech.

In the statement, the EFF said it condemns the "sadistic, cruel and genocidal Israeli apartheid state" for Israel Police's actions taken against Palestinian rioters at the funeral of the Al Jazeera reporter. 

According to the radical left-wing faction, Israel is a "sick, fascist and inhumane regime whose actions eclipse those of an apartheid state."

The EFF also called on the South African government and President Cyril Ramaphosa to expel the Israeli ambassador from the country, saying the world's patience has led "Zionist maniacs to believe they are untouchable."

The party also lamented the lack of sanctions imposed on Israel that are "so easily imposed" on socialist states.

UFO's. Are We Being Set Up for the Great Delusion?

 Some of you may have heard me speak at Adult Education this past Sunday at Buffalo Covenant.  The title of my current events class was DELUSION.

One of the headlines that I used was this week's Congressional Hearings on UFO's.  I wondered aloud to the class whether this could be be related to the GREAT DELUSION that GOD WILL SEND on the left behind world following the rapture?

So you could imagine my smile when I saw this article published in Prophecy Watchers today.

Are We Being Set Up For The Great Delusion? Congress Opens Hearings On UFO's

Why have they suddenly decided to reveal so much?  For decades, a very thick cloak of secrecy has surrounded what the government really knows about UFOs, but now our politicians are talking openly about such things.  In fact, Congress just held their very first public hearing about UFOs in 50 years.  

So what has changed?  If anything happens in Washington, it is usually because someone has an underlying agenda.  Could it be possible that we are being prepared for some sort of a huge revelation?

To me, it is clear that something is up.

And I think that it says a lot that the power structures in our society are now treating this topic very seriously.  At this point, even CNN is admitting that UFOs are no longer being "relegated to the fringes of public policy"...

Key lawmakers warned at a House hearing on Tuesday that unidentified aerial phenomena -- popularly known as UFOs -- must be investigated and taken seriously as a potential threat to national security.

The event marked the first congressional public hearing on UFOs in decades, a high-profile moment for a controversial topic that has long been relegated to the fringes of public policy.

During the hearing on Tuesday, U.S. officials confessed that there have been at least 400 "unexplained sightings" by members of our military...

US SPY chiefs were grilled by lawmakers in a historic hearing on UFOs as dramatic videos of two sightings were shown.

Security officials were forced to admit there have been 400 unexplained sightings reported by the US military .

That number is very different from the number that we were given in 2021.

Late last year, the Pentagon told us that there were just 144 unexplained sightings.

But now we are being told that the real number is nearly triple the original number.

And on Tuesday we were also told that there have been "11 near misses" with U.S. military aircraft...

They also confessed there have been 11 near misses with unidentified objects and US military aircraft, and they are probing incidents where craft may have attempted "jam" US planes.

So let me get this straight.

11 different times our aircraft were almost hit by other aircraft that we simply cannot identify?

Why weren't we told about this a long time ago?

Of course there is so much more that the Pentagon is choosing not to tell us.  According to Politico, one Defense Department official is freely admitting that there is a great deal that is not being publicly revealed...

"Without forcing peoples' hand, it is going to be very difficult to uncover legacy ventures and programs that we know about based on oral interviews we dug up," said a Defense Department official who is involved in the new effort but was not authorized to speak publicly. "There has to be a forcing mechanism."

"There has to be something to hold people accountable but also give them a chance to come out clean for a period of time," the official added, noting that in his experience the Pentagon oversight group has been "stonewalled."

That same official went on to explain that the people that are refusing to come forward are protecting some "very interesting information".

I would definitely like to know what that "very interesting information" is.

Wouldn't you?

I think that most of the population would be completely floored if everything that the government knows was finally put on the table.

According to one member of Congress, our military has actually recovered physical wreckage from a UFO that crashed...

A CONGRESSMAN has claimed the US has wreckage recovered from a UFO as the phenomena takes centre stage today in Washington.

Rep. Tim Burchett - a long term advocate for disclosure - told The Sun Online he has been informed by reliable sources that "material" has been recovered from the objects or craft that have been reported in skies over the US.

So why can't the American people know about this?

What are they trying to hide from us?

Burchett says that he can't say more because this information was given to him in a "classified setting"...

The Tennessee Republican declined to elaborate further as he said the information had been passed to him in a "classified setting".

"I've been told by multiple sources we have recovered something from these [crafts or objects]," Mr Burchett told The Sun Online.

It is so frustrating to hear about this and know that we will probably never be given the specific details.

The American people deserve the truth, but so much is being purposely hidden.

Lue Elizondo, a former senior staffer at the Pentagon, says that there has been much speculation in military circles about the true source of these unidentified craft...

'People jump to speculation that it's from the Pleiades or something like that, when in fact one of the hypothesis when I was in AATIP was this could be as natural to Earth as we are, but we are just at a point where technologically we aren't advanced enough we can collect information on it and begin to try to figure out what it is,' he said.

'There's been another hypothesis that these things are possibly from underwater and as outlandish as it may seem, there is some anecdotal evidence that supports all of these observations, so what we want to do is try to get as much data on the table as we can before we start eliminating,' said Elizondo.

He said way too much right there, because he got way too close to details that we aren't supposed to know about.

If he keeps talking like that, he could end up being killed.

Because even though our officials are now talking more openly about UFOs, there are still many things that they would very much prefer to keep secret.

These unidentified aircraft are very real, and every year they are spotted thousands upon thousands of times all over the globe.

Now that this subject is being brought out into the spotlight,  many Christians believe it could be part of a larger plan that could involve a 'great deception or delusion' that scripture talks about in the last days.  

That deception ties in directly with the rise of the Antichrist and is not so much based on aliens from another planet - but from the spiritual dimension and more specifically, demonic, in origin.

Here;  Are We Being Set Up For The Great Delusion? Congress Opens Hearings On UFO's (prophecynewswatch.com)

So even Michael Snyder has arrived at the opinion that these 'aliens' are not from other planets but are demonic in origin!

As my friend Mick has often told me when I proposed this to him over 10 years ago, "Lingo, if you're not ON SOMETHING, then you are ON TO SOMETHING."

I can honestly say I am 100% certain that "aliens" will be used to explain what happened to the millions of Christ-followers that suddenly vanish from planet earth.

And the fact that this is all over the news TODAY should give us one more hint of how close the rapture hopefully is.

"Encourage each other with these words.  Even more so as you see the DAY approaching."

Maranatha!!

US Debt Cannot Be Inflated Away

 I would say that America is at a tipping point when it comes to government finances.  Just like a consumer who buys more than they have money for ("But I really wanted it!!  In fact I needed it!!) so has the US Government been spending money that they don't have.  The accomplish this by issuing US Gov't Bonds they sell in the open market at auction.  If there aren't enough buyers to buy all the new US Gov't Bonds then the Federal Reserve 'buys' them.

But this is really kind of a Ponzi scheme because the Federal Reserve doesn't have a big stack of money that they earned by hard work that they use to "buy" the bonds.  Nope!  They just take the bonds and put them in their "inventory".  When the interest payments are due on those bonds the US Treasury can technically print all the money they want to pay those interest payments.

But as we have pointed out numerous times, if printing money was all that had to be done by the governments of the world to alleviate poverty, then there would be no poor people on all of planet earth!!  We would just print enough money for EVERYONE!!!

Everyone SHOULD have a nice car!  Here's some money!!  Y'all go out and buy the one you want!!

Everyone SHOULD be free from student debt!  Here's some money!!  Y'all go pay off your student loans!!

Everyone SHOULD have a safe, dry, warm place to live!  Here's some money!!  Y'all go out and buy yourselves a really nice house!!

Everyone SHOULD have access to good health care!  Here's some money!!  Y'all go out and build all the hospitals and clinics you need and staff them with the best doctors!!  Oh year...and FREE HEALTH INSURANCE FOR ALL FOR EVER!!!

Money printing exceeds 2.5 times the combined costs of our recent wars. It’s ginormous. Compounding that problem, the U.S. debt cannot be paid, even in inflated dollars. Serious inflation is inevitable that will crash stock and bond markets, in addition to devaluing the dollar.

Three years ago I wrote Per Capita World Debt Has Surged To More Than $200,000, one of my most-read articles. Many of the comments said money printing is the solution: “Just pay the debt with inflated money.”

In the following, I explore the practicality of settling the debt with newly printed money. We’re poking the inflation bear, but haven’t made a dent in the debt because there’s way too much of it.

Where we are now

The official U.S. debt of $27 trillion is 130% of GDP, but Professor Lawrence Kotlikoff has warned about “off-balance-sheet debt” from Social Security and Medicare that totals another whopping $76 trillion. All-in U.S. debt is $103 trillion, which is 490% of GDP.

Can the government realistically print $100 trillion? In theory, the government can print all it wants, but it needs to stop when all that money causes serious inflation. There is a limit to how much money can be printed, and we’ve reached it.

Money is “printed” when the Treasury issues bonds. If those bonds do not clear the market, the Federal Reserve buys them. Lately the Federal Reserve has been buying most of the Treasury’s new issues.

Money printing and the U.S. debt

Starting with quantitative easing (QE) in 2009, the government has printed $16 trillion through 2022 so far. This has caused inflation to become serious at 8.5% and rising.

With all that is going on in the world, wars, looming famines, earthquakes, drought, record flooding, perversion at a new level, 57 genders on Facebook, and now UFO's and 'aliens' being discussed in Congress...we are starting to believe that we are in the VERY end game for the current system on planet earth.

When the US economy collapses, it will drag the rest of the world down with it.

We HOPE and PRAY that the rapture of the church is the final blow and that we are out of here when it does happen.

This, of course, will give rise to the MAN WITH THE PLAN!  Also called the Man of Lawlessness, who will come up with a new financial system for the world.  Of course it will be digital and it will require a mark on your hand or forehead to buy or sell anything. 

Finland and Sweden File NATO Applications

Yes, Russia says this action will be seen as a threat to them.  The chess game continues.  Can the world stay away from WWIII or is this just more movement towards such?

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

The pivotal Nordic countries of Finland and Sweden formally applied to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Wednesday, amid Russia's continuing invasion of Ukraine.

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told reporters that the treaty organization had formally accepted the applications, which have been in development over the past week.

"I warmly welcome the requests by Finland and Sweden to join NATO. You are our closest partners," Stoltenberg told reporters after a receiving their application letters from the two Nordic countries’ ambassadors.

Russia Fires at Israeli Jets

 Do you want to know how WWIII would actually start?  Probably not with a huge bang, but probably with Russia going into Ukraine, China invading Taiwan, Russia firing on Israeli jets and killing the pilots, Iran firing on US troops in Iraq, and a handful of other military events all happening at once.  They would all add up to the day when nations would all need to take sides.  Some would be drawn in by errant fire.  Some events could be False Flags, but when you add it all up you would discover that the whole world was at war someplace.

Soon, neutral countries like Finland and Sweden realize that it's kind of scary to be threatened by a massive bully next door.  So they join NATO and now Russia feels threatened by the giant NATO bully next door.  So they decide to lash out even more!...like maybe shutting off all gas to Germany or all electricity to Finland!

Today's headline is interesting because Israel has been doing it's level best to stay on good terms with Russia.  As we know, Russia has been in Syria helping Bashar Al Asad with his Civil War.  Up til now they have allowed Israel to fly bombing missions into Syria and destroy anything that Israel thinks is not good for their interests.  But now we read that maybe Russia isn't going to give Israel a pass anymore?  Maybe they are going to try and shoot down Israeli jets flying over Syria?  That could escalate things further.

Russia used advanced anti-aircraft missiles to target Israeli jets carrying out airstrikes in Syria, marking a major departure from a previous policy of essentially allowing the Israeli Air Force free reign to operate in the area, according to a report from Channel 13 News.

While never officially confirming nor denying the air strikes, Israel has bombed numerous Iranian assets and targets in Syria in recent years.

Russia, which has partnered with embattled Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, has de facto control over Syrian airspace and until now has not interfered in IAF bombing missions.

According to the report, the IAF targeted a number of sites in northwestern Syria last Friday evening.

In a statement after the air raid, Syrian military forces said they launched dozens of anti-aircraft missiles at Israeli aircraft. Those missiles are not advanced enough to pose a risk to the IAF.

But, Channel 13 noted, S-300 batteries also fired on Israeli jets. The advanced anti-aircraft S-300 were donated to Syria by Moscow and are operated strictly by Russian military personnel.

Although the system was unable to lock onto the IAF jets and the aircraft were not in serious danger of being hit, the move may signal a serious shift in Russian policy regarding Israeli activity in Syria.

In February 2022, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova spoke out against IAF airstrikes in Syria in an unprecedented public statement denouncing Israel.

“Israel’s continuing strikes against targets inside Syria cause deep concern. They are a crude violation of Syria’s sovereignty and may trigger a sharp escalation of tensions,” she said.

In January 2022, Hezbollah-affiliated Lebansese newspaper Al-Akhbar newspaper said that Syria and its allies, including Iran, expressed deep dissatisfaction with the Russians, demanding that Russia stop allowing IAF air strikes in Syrian territory.

Keep looking up and praying Maranatha!  Come Lord Jesus!  We know we sound like a broken record but it really is becoming very obvious that there is NO WAY that we are ever going back to "normal".  And there is no way that men are going to become less sinful.  It's only going to get worse.  We can see where this is all going and I'm getting real eager to see what Jesus has been preparing for us.

Let the UFO Hearings in Congress Begin!

Disclosure of “off -world technology” by the US Government may be right around the corner.  This will confirm to the world what many have believed for years;  mainly that  intelligent life evolved on other planets and they have been visiting earth using advanced technology for hundreds of years.  Of course Bible readers know there was intelligent life created by God before men, called angels.  Bible readers know that life doesn’t evolve from non-life anywhere in the universe.  Bible readers should understand that these UFOs and “aliens” are all part of a grand deception set out by the Father of all lies himself. And yes, the world will believe it.

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

As Congress prepares to hold the first public hearing on UFOs in half a century, the Pentagon and intelligence agencies are feuding internally over how much to cooperate with demands to investigate and share what they know, according to current and former national security officials.

Pentagon officials are under increasing pressure to carry out Congress’ recent mandate to establish a permanent effort to coordinate research into reports of highly advanced aircraft of unknown origin intruding into protected airspace.

But there is a tug of war among competing factions inside the national security bureaucracy that will make it difficult for Congress to compel military branches, spy agencies, national laboratories and other organizations to come clean given the longstanding secrecy and stigma surrounding the issue.

“Without forcing peoples’ hand, it is going to be very difficult to uncover legacy ventures and programs that we know about based on oral interviews we dug up,” said a Defense Department official who is involved in the new effort but was not authorized to speak publicly. “There has to be a forcing mechanism.”

“There has to be something to hold people accountable but also give them a chance to come out clean for a period of time,” the official added, noting that in his experience the Pentagon oversight group has been “stonewalled.”

The official said there are people with knowledge of the phenomena who have yet to contribute to the oversight effort.

“These people exist and they are protecting very interesting information,” the official said.

Finland Cleans Out It's Bomb Shelters

 Finland is going to try and join NATO real fast.  They can see that Russia is getting really upset with certain neighbors and has decided that strength in numbers might be a good thing for them after all!  Of course this action might make Russia feel even more paranoid and more surrounded as Finland borders Russia.

So this headline about Finland readying it's bomb shelters in case Russia decides to launch some nukes is very 'end of days' worthy.

Helsinki is ready for a potential nuclear strike. With fully equipped underground bomb shelters that are safe and offer a level of normalcy for Finnish people forced to seek refuge.

Russia’s ar against Ukraine, along with Finland’s Nato membership application and concerns of mass destruction, have compelled residents of Helsinki to clean out the clutter from their bomb shelters in preparation for potential nuclear war, reports The National News.

Since 1945, Finland has constructed enough bunkers to provide shelter for 4.4 million citizens, just a million short of the country’s total population.

“People have not been paying attention to our shelters for decades, using them as storage, but really the Ukraine war made them think about preparedness for themselves and their families,” said Petri Parviainen, Helsinki’s civil defense unit chief.

Parviainen’s shelter is built to withstand the blast of a nuclear bomb. The underground structure is reinforced with an additional set of doors that protect the refuge from radiation and chemical weapons.

One of the more well-known bunkers is located in Helsinki and 93 miles from the border with Russia; the Merihaka bunker features five levels of broad steel stairs.

In case of emergency, the shelter can reach a capacity of 6,000 in approximately 20 minutes. An additional 10 minutes are needed for civil defense volunteers to seal the doors.

There is enough water inside the shelter for almost one month.

The network of bunkers is part of the country’s comprehensive defense plan. It includes a 240,000-strong army and the most extensive artillery stock in Europe. It also relies on military intelligence, which Helsinki hopes will offer the people 72 hours of notice of hostilities and alerts of an imminent attack.

There are 40 sirens located throughout Helsinki. They are designed to alert its 650,000 civilians — along with tens of thousands of tourists and commuters from outside the city — to take cover in shelters with a combined capacity of 900,000.

“If we are under a general warning, people will receive information via sirens or their 112 app to move to the closest shelter,” says Tomi Rask of the civil defense unit.

“When the personnel are in the shelter, the doors are closed, and the shelter is over-pressurized against any hazardous materials. After that, we have several different driving modes depending on the threat. Individual shelters are given notice when to go to radiation-filtering mode. It takes 10 to 15 minutes to close the shelter and go on to full sheltering mode.”

Parviainen added: “Finland is ready.”

Here;  Finland clears out bomb shelters in preparation for nuclear war with Russia (israel365news.com)

Great!  They have 30 days of water once they go into the shelter.  But when you have to come out after 30 days to massive radiation, no housing, no food and no infrastructure...then what??

We continue to cling to Jesus' own words that clearly say people will be eating, drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, planting and building right up to the end.  We believe that the rapture of the church will give rise to a sudden collapse of these "normal" conditions and usher in the need for a new financial system that the Antichrist will take control of soon after it's implemented.

So personally, we don't give much thought to digging bomb shelters and trying to survive the onslaught of the Antichrist's forces killing anyone who refuses the mark.  We continue to look for Jesus Christ and not the Antichrist.

Only 37% of Christian Pastors Hold a Biblical Worldview

 A few months ago we posted the Pew research info that reported that only 6% of Americans hold a Biblical worldview.  Today we discover a good reason as to why that might be.  If only a small percentage of Americans attend church anymore, (fact) then even those that go to church have a 73% chance that the pastor they are listening to doesn't actually believe the Bible.

A majority of Christian pastors in the United States do not hold a biblical worldview, according to surprising new research from pollster George Barna, who says the data shows a spiritual awakening is “needed just as desperately in our pulpits as in the pews.”

The survey, released Thursday by the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University, shows that only 37 percent of pastors in the U.S. hold a biblical worldview.

Among senior/lead pastors, 41 percent possess a biblical worldview – the highest percentage within the sub-groups of pastors. Less than one-third of associate/assistant pastors (28 percent), teaching pastors (13 percent) and children’s/youth pastors (12 percent) hold a biblical worldview, the data found.

An accompanying report labeled the findings “shocking.”

“This is another strong piece of evidence that the culture is influencing the American church more than Christian churches are influencing the culture,” said Barna, director of research at the university’s Cultural Research Center.

The survey’s findings were based on 54 questions in eight categories related to a biblical worldview. Within those eight categories, the only one where a majority of pastors affirm a biblical worldview is related to the purpose and calling of life (57 percent). A minority of pastors hold a biblical worldview in the other seven categories: family and the value of life (47 percent); God, creation and history (44 percent); personal faith practices (43 percent); sin, salvation and one’s relationship to God (43 percent); human character and human nature (40 percent); lifestyle, personal behavior and relationships (40 percent); and beliefs and behaviors related to the Bible, truth and morality.

The data on children’s pastors and youth pastors, Barna said, is particularly discouraging.

Jesus asks if he will find any faith in the world when He returns?  After looking at this data it would sure seem that he won't find much left in America.

It also might help to explain the passage at judgment when Jesus tells people, "Depart from me. I don't know you."
