The Bible speaks often about signs that would warn believers of the End of Days. Could the events that the world is witnessing today be the very signs that Christ, the OT prophets and the apostles mentioned? Please feel free to leave comments or news that you have seen.
It’s Saturday and I’m blogging on my iPad outside Kalispell, MT. Soon we will be heading into the woods North of Polebridge and will be “off the grid” until next Saturday. No cell and no WiFi means no blogging! I believe I have been blogging almost daily for the past 14 years! So please don’t leave my little blog just because you see no activity from August 28-September 3.
Have a great week!

Full disclosure continues to come. We now have members of the US government more and more admitting that some of these UFOs are “not man-made”. Hmmm...if they aren’t made by men but clearly are made by something intelligent, just who are these beings making flying ships that cruise around earth doing things way beyond our technological capacity? Of course the lie being sold is that these are alien beings that evolved long before we did. That’s a lie. Theses beings seem to be demons who are disguising themselves as “aliens”. Don’t be deceived.
*****************************
In July, Congress quietly admitted that Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) are not “man-made” and that the threat is “expanding,” burying the startling revelations in a report added to the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023. The finding was first reported by Vice on Tuesday.
The report stated that the new Department of Defense (DoD) led Unidentified Aerospace-Undersea Phenomena Joint Program Office is tasked with addressing “cross-domain transmedium threats to United States national security” that “are expanding exponentially.”
Congress explained that the office should focus on objects that are not “man-made” and directed the office to send “man-made” objects to “appropriate offices,” adding that “man-made” objects “should not be considered … unidentified aerospace-undersea phenomena.”
“This implies that members of the Senate Intelligence Committee believe (on a unanimous, bipartisan basis) that some UFOs have non-human origins,” von Rennenkampff continued. “After all, why would Congress establish and task a powerful new office with investigating non-‘man-made’ UFOs if such objects did not exist?”
“Make no mistake: One branch of the American government implying that UFOs have non-human origins is an explosive development.”

Remember when Obama gave literal plane loads of cash to Iran as part of a deal that would prevent them from getting a nuclear bomb? Trump canceled it right away when he was elected. Now Biden is bringing it back and rumor has it that more plane loads of cash will be included. Israel can’t believe we are doing this idiotic thing again. Meanwhile Iran keeps making uranium in its underground facilities and plans for the destruction of Israel and America while supporting terrorism all over the world using Obama-bucks.
*********************************
Mossad director David Barnea strongly criticized the Biden Administration over the impending agreement to restore the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
"We are making a pasted copy of the 2015 agreement, and the only thing that remains from then is the text," Barnea said in closed conversations. He estimated that the agreement will be signed within a few weeks and that the chances of it being signed are close to 100 percent.
Barnea said that the deal the US Administration presented to Israel is "based on lies."
Barnea also warned that the worst part of the agreement, according to the information Israel has received, is that already in 2025 some of the restrictions on Iran will be lifted and it will then be one step closer to a nuclear bomb.
“The American willingness to sign the agreement goes against common sense. The agreement will be bad even if the US accepts some of our comments," Barnea said.
Barnea pointed out that Israel will not be a party to the agreement and its sole commitment is to the security of its citizens and within this framework will do whatever is necessary regardless of the text of the deal.

This one you gotta read to believe. Of course Joe Biden announced that the Government is going to forgive $10,000 in student loans for those who still have them. If you worked hard the past 10 years to pay yours off early..."Sucker!!"
Sleepy Joe hasn't yet announced how he is going to pay the $trillion dollar bill, but never mind. They will just print more money and take one step closer to collapsing the entire financial system.
So check out this black lady and her excuse for WHY she took on all this student debt in her 50's! And WHY she believes that YOU AND I should pay all of her debt for her!
Please notice that she is black....so if you call her "stupid" you might be a racist.
At the crux of her argument is that she is a black immigrant who always encouraged her kids to get a good education. Suddenly, in her 50's she realized that she can't really give educational advice to her kids when SHE doesn't have the maximum education! So she went to school to get her DOCTORATE!
Hey lady! How did you figure you were ever going to make that pay off if you didn't get your doctorate until you were 60 years old?? Doctor of what?? HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT!!!
Yes for sure the USA needs lots and lots of Doctors of HRM!
Please help me Jesus!...I'm living in a world of make believe and morons.
On Wednesday, the White House announced its long-awaited debt cancellation plan. Joe Biden will erase $10,000 for borrowers who make under $125,000 a year, and $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients. The federal student loan payment moratorium will also be extended until December 31.
Sadly, this news does almost nothing for me and millions of others. It falls far short of what economic and racial justice demands. That’s why I have joined over 250 people, all over age 50, who are pledging to strike our student loans when payments resume. Our numbers are growing every day.
Most people think of the student loan crisis as a problem affecting young people. As a 65-year-old woman, however, I am actually among the fastest-growing demographic of student debtors. We know that this debt won’t go away – for us or Americans of any age – unless we stand up and fight it. That’s why we’re prepared to strike.
I have over $300,000 in student debt. The burden is negatively affecting my emotional and physical existence. You may wonder how it is possible to accumulate such a large amount of student debt, so let me explain.
As a single, Black, immigrant woman, I always told my four kids that education was the most important part of their upbringing. But it didn’t take me long to realize that I was hardly following my own advice: I was not comfortable advising my children to achieve the highest level of education when I myself didn’t. I am a mentor, educator and adviser to my kids. I wanted my mentorship and advice to be built on a strong educational and intellectual foundation.
In January 2010 I began a doctoral degree program in human resources management. My biggest mistake was enrolling in a for-profit school. I did achieve my academic goals in August 2016. That feeling of success was short-lived, however. After graduation, I had to begin repaying student loans.
My school didn’t play fairly with me while I pursued my doctoral degree. The administrators changed the length of my program from three to six years. They actively steered me away from my research interest in the effects of slavery and globalization, adding more time to my program of study. Meanwhile, I continued to pay. From an initial loan payoff of $75,000 per year, my debt rose to $300,000.
Then my children started college. Because of my own debt, I was unable to qualify for parent loans to help my younger two children pay for their undergraduate studies. I was also unable to plan for the future. I exhausted my retirement funds trying to repay these loans and have not been able to replenish them because, as a good citizen, I prioritized repaying my student loans above all else.
My debt is an economic drain but it’s also an emotional one. I have been stressing over it for 12 years now, and the stress has taken a very real toll on my physical health. I suffer from hypertension and high cholesterol and recently had emergency surgery to remove my gall bladder due to digestive issues caused by unnecessary stress. I spend a lot of time thinking about the fact that I am 65 years old, with projected loan repayments for the next 21 years of my life – meaning I will be 86 when I pay them off. When you are burdened by student debt, there is no quality of personal or work life. You are stuck at home – foregoing vacations, visiting family and friends, professional conferences, everything.
Like so many debtors, I’ve found it hard to see a way out. As an older person, I’ve often felt particularly alone as a student debtor. When I learned of the Debt Collective, the nation’s first debtors’ union, I realized I was not alone. I found others with similar stories and experiences, including many other older people. As a group, we understand that we’re stronger together. And we are taking action. If Biden won’t cancel our debt, we will go on strike.
I joined the 50-over-50 debt strike to make sure that the world knows that older debtors exist, and that we are growing in number. Because student loans are structured as a debt trap, there are more and more older debtors every day. My fellow strikers and I can’t pay – and won’t. We shouldn’t have to take money from our retirement to pay for college. I accumulated this massive student debt because of the inhumane policies of lending institutions and for-profit schools, and the lack of support and intervention from government agencies. Biden has the power to cancel student debt for all of us, automatically and immediately. Why isn’t he using it?
The fact that this Doctor of Human Resources believes that Joe Biden has the power to cancel student debt "for all of us" is tragic and scary. It's scary because the Guardian saw fit to even print such an absurd opinion piece. It's doubly scary that millions of Democrats are reading this article and saying, "Poor black lady! She just wanted her Doctorate! Joe Biden should swipe his pen and make $5 trillion dollars cancel student debt for everyone!"
The fact that really stupid people get to vote is the exact reason our forefathers believed that only educated people should vote.
The stupid people will one day swamp the entire boat and ALL OF US WILL DROWN.

Strange weather that threatens crops seems to have become the norm. Most folks who don't believe what the Bible has to say can only come up with, "Man-made global warming!" They will continue to scream about cow farts, gasoline cars, coal power plants and our immediate need to rid the planet of all such things.
We already know Texas wheat crop has failed. Last week we heard that Italy and France have crops the are being decimated by heat and drought. Ukraine has it's own problems that will lead to low crop production, and now we see that China and it's billion people might not be growing enough food to feed it's people.
So how much of the world's grain crop can be decimated before we understand, "there WILL BE famine."?
BEIJING, China — A crippling drought exacerbated by a record heat wave has spread out across half of China and reached the normally frigid Tibetan Plateau, according to official data released ahead of more searing temperatures on Thursday.
The world’s second-largest economy has been hit by heatwaves, flash floods and droughts — phenomena that scientists say are becoming more frequent and intense due to climate change.
Southern China has recorded its longest continuous period of high temperatures since records began more than 60 years ago, the agriculture ministry said this week.
Experts have said the intensity, scope and duration of the heatwave could make it one of the worst recorded in global history.
A chart from the National Climate Centre showed Wednesday that swaths of southern China — including the Tibetan Plateau — were experiencing “severe” to “extraordinary” drought conditions.
The worst-affected area — the Yangtze river basin, stretching from coastal Shanghai to Sichuan province in China’s southwest — is home to over 370 million people and contains several manufacturing hubs including the megacity of Chongqing.
Temperatures as high as 45 degrees Celsius (113 Fahrenheit) have led multiple Chinese provinces to impose industrial power cuts, as cities struggle to cope with a surge in demand for electricity.
Record low water levels on the Yangtze River have also put pressure on the region’s hydropower generators.
Recent heat broke records in Sichuan, where one county recorded a temperature of 44 degrees Celsius (111 Fahrenheit) Wednesday.
The daily news continues to point to perilous times coming for the inhabitants of planet earth.
What is needed is for humans to repent and turn back to God and pray for Him to heal their land.
Sadly, I don't read my Bible and expect to see that forthcoming.
Instead I see wonderful promises on the horizon for those who trust in Jesus Christ for salvation and I see terrible times coming for those who reject the Son. In fact the times will become so bad that if Jesus didn't return to Jerusalem to shorten those terrible times, NO FLESH would survive.
Are we right on the cusp of Great Tribulation? It's getting harder to deny. Of course God can extend any reprieve that He chooses if He is waiting for those last souls written in the Lamb's Book of Life to come in. But certainly the birth pangs can't continue forever! Eventually the birth pangs cease and the baby is delivered.

Here's a prophetic headline for today. USA has attacked Iranian forces in Syria.
The United States said Wednesday that although it "does not seek conflict with Iran," it will continue to "defend" its troops against Tehran-backed militias in Syria.
Three U.S. service members were injured in separate rocket attacks on two facilities housing American troops in northeastern Syria on Wednesday, prompting U.S. forces to respond, according to a statement from the U.S. military's Central Command.
Beginning at approximately 7:20 p.m. local time, several rockets landed inside the perimeter of Mission Support Site Conoco. Shortly after, more rockets landed in the vicinity of Mission Support Site Green Village. Both sites are located near large oil and gas fields in northeastern Syria. One service member at Mission Support Site Conoco was treated for a minor injury and returned to duty, while two others were under evaluation for minor injuries, CENTCOM said.
Speaking with ABC News, a U.S. official characterized the injuries as "very minor."
CENTCOM said U.S. forces responded over the last 24 hours with Apache attack helicopters, AC-130 gunships, and 155mm artillery, "resulting in four enemy fighters killed and seven enemy rocket launchers destroyed."
"We will respond appropriately and proportionally to attacks on our servicemembers," Gen. Michael "Erik" Kurilla, commander of CENTCOM, said in a statement on Thursday. "No group will strike at our troops with impunity. We will take all necessary measures to defend our people."
Colin Kahl, the U.S. undersecretary of defense for policy, was asked about the latest exchange in Syria during a press briefing on Wednesday afternoon in Washington, D.C. Kahl told reporters he did not have any details to share at the time but noted: "As a general matter, we're not going to hesitate to defend ourselves."

The movement towards Ezekiel 38 being fulfilled continues. Headlines like this should give us all the more reason to "look up, for your redemption is near."

Many years ago we blogged on The Carrington Event. It happened back in the late 1800’s when electricity had just started to be used in America and power lines mostly ran along railroad lines to connect rail stations. A solar storm of such strength scored a direct hit on planet earth and fired all the electrical lines and even lit the rail stations on fire because the lines got so hot. Scientists tell us this will happen again and when it does may knock out all vehicles with electronic ignition and may knock out the entire US power grid. If you want to, ponder how quickly America, and the world, would turn into Armageddon and chaos if the lights went out for 6 months. Science says it could happen. If it did happen, chances are better it would happen during a solar maximum which happens in 2023.
*****************************
The solar maximum, which occurs in 2023 at the end of the Sun's 11-year cycle, is soon to arrive. The occurrence of solar storms has become more frequent recently, albeit their power is still relatively low. Because of this, these solar storms have not caused any harm to Earth except for producing auroras in the northern sky and briefly disrupting radio communications. A horrifying development, however, may soon change all that.

With massive droughts in Texas and the Southwest, supply chain issues, failing crops, Lake Mead drying up, massive inflation and the US Government spending money like drunken sailors, we wonder if the entire civilized world is now at the “end of abundance”. God seems to have a pattern of blessing those who fear and adore Him. He also seems to have a pattern of destroying those nations who reject and mock Him. Where is America in the fear him vs. mock him category? Pretty sure France has been in the “mock him” category since the “age of enlightenment”.
***************************
In a bracing message, President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday warned the French people to be ready for “sacrifices” as the country is facing "the end of abundance" amid a series of crises.
“What we are going through is a big shift, a big upheaval," Macron said at a Cabinet meeting at the Elysee Palace after a three-week holiday break. He cited a “series of serious crises” from the instability triggered by the Ukraine war to the disturbing effects of climate change, including the unprecedented drought that has gripped the entire country.
He said France now faces an “end of abundance” visible since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in early 2020 in terms of public finance, shortages of certain materials, and a breakdown in the supply chain. He warned the French that they would have to face the consequences.
“Our freedom has a cost, and sometimes when it has to be defended, it can mean sacrifices," he said.
Macron also urged the members of his government to act with seriousness and credibility as they address the crisis and “not to give in to demagoguery," apparently referring to how society often lays blame on outsiders and minorities amid hard times.

Yesterday I posted a "Hell on earth" video featuring Gerald Celente. He's kind of famous for recommending the three G's..."Gold, Guns, Get-away plan." He and many others see inflation coming and the destruction of the US Dollar. I would agree that day IS coming. However, while I don't argue with the idea to own a little silver and gold in your gun cabinet, I do wonder if these "buy gold" guys have totally forgotten the day when the US government made owning gold ILLEGAL and demanded that every American turn all their gold into the bank in exchange for $20 per ounce?
You don't remember that? Probably because it happened in 1933 and was in force for 4 decades.
With global financial markets in disarray, many investors are turning to classic safe havens. Gold is trading above US$1,750 (£1,429) per troy ounce, which is the standard measure – more than 15% above where it started 2020. Even after a strong rally since March, the S&P 500 stock market index is down nearly 10% over the same period.
Gold confers familiarity during downturns. Its returns are uncorrelated with assets like stocks, so it tends to hold its value when they fall. It is also a good way of avoiding currency devaluation. It therefore features in any well diversified investor’s portfolio, whether via gold-mining shares, gold funds, bullion or whatever.
Yet there are two slight caveats to viewing gold as a safe haven. Early in an economic downturn, gold prices often plummet with the rest of the market. This is from investors selling gold to offset losses in shares and other assets. We saw this in March, when gold fell 12% in two weeks, then quickly recovered. If the coronavirus causes more market panic, this could happen again.
During extreme crises, governments can also seize people’s gold. There have been some stunning examples of “gold confiscation” in the past. Most memorably, this occurred in the US in 1933 during the great depression – albeit it’s more accurate to call it a nationalisation than a confiscation, since citizens were compensated. The government of Franklin D Roosevelt seized all gold bullion and coins via Executive Order 6102, forcing citizens to sell at well below market rates. Immediately after the “confiscation”, the government set a new official rate for gold that was much higher as part of the Gold Reserve Act 1934.
This was the era of the gold standard, which meant dollars were tradeable for an exact amount of the precious metal. Seizing the metal enabled the government to print more dollars to try to stimulate the economy, and also to buy more dollars on the international markets to shore up the exchange rate.
Many gold owners were understandably unhappy about the gold seizure, and some fought it in the courts. Ultimately, however, the government could not be stopped, and gold ownership remained illegal in the US until the 1970s.
This intervention was not unique, even in contemporary history. In 1959, Australia’s government put a law in place that allowed gold seizures from private citizens if “expedient to do so, for the protection of the currency or of the public credit of the Commonwealth [of Australia]”. And in 1966, to stop the decline in the pound, the UK government banned citizens from owning more than four gold or silver coins and blocked the private import of gold. This was only lifted in 1979.
Here: How the US government seized all citizens' gold in 1930s (theconversation.com)
So for those folks who think that their gold is going to save them from financial ruin...I would remind you there is only one man who can save you. And Jesus told us to lay up our REAL treasure in heaven where bugs, weather, inflation, thieves and governments can never touch it.

Do you want more evidence that the folks in DC have no clue how inflation works? Here’s one more example. Let’s print more money by creating more Federal debt to give a handout to mostly Democrat voters. Also the unfairness to the folks who worked hard to pay off debt, will they be willing to give that money back to them? When Elizabeth Warren was asked that question she just laughed it off.
************************
Washington — President Biden announced Wednesday he is forgiving up to $10,000 in federal student loan debt for millions of Americans and an additional $10,000 for low-income borrowers while extending a pause on monthly payments, delivering on long-awaited relief just weeks before the midterm elections.
Under the plan, which the president unveiled on Twitter, borrowers earning less than $125,000 a year, or couples earning less than $250,000 a year, would be eligible for up to $10,000 in loan forgiveness. Recipients of Pell Grants, which are given to students with the greatest financial need, would be eligible for another $10,000 in relief. Loan payments will also be capped at 5% of monthly income.
The president is also deferring student loan repayments until the end of the year, and the Education Department said it would be the last time the pause is extended. Mr. Biden is set to deliver remarks on Wednesday afternoon, the White House said.

As long as the black community continues its belief that they are victims, they will continue to slide further into poverty, crime and hopelessness. Of course some blacks see the problem but sadly get shouted down or canceled or called “uncle Toms”. We have said it numerous times but will say it again; most problems plaguing society today can be traced back to fatherlessness. And the black community is the poster child for fatherlessness. Most likely white people aren’t going to be able to fix that for them.
************************
VICTOR challenges the popular narrative about the black community.
“We didn’t used to live like this as a culture. Eighty percent of our families were two-parent families. Today in major cities, we’re 80 percent fatherless homes. The film challenges the black community. It’s a challenge from the black community to the black community to get back to the basics of what we used to be: faith, family, and education,” Mr. Qualls said.
“People share their personal stories of how they overcame hardships. I’ve seen it several times. I still get teary-eyed because it’s so powerful. As these people tell their incredible stories, one common theme emerges: Resolve that they would not be victims of their circumstances,” Mrs. Qualls said.
“We never hear, ‘you can do it.’ We only hear that we are victims and we will forever be at a disadvantage because of the past,” she said.
TakeCharge is purposely pushing for a shift in the popular narrative and no longer accepts the idea of communities filled with fatherless homes as an acceptable norm, Mr. Qualls said.
TakeCharge is a nonprofit that promotes the idea that the promise of America works for anyone, regardless of race or social standing. It also focuses on restoring the two-parent black family.

This LGBTQ Youth Training is being encouraged for all teachers in Texas. So of course it will be coming to a school near you very soon. This is a sad situation where an entire society is being given over to the desires of their flesh. I agree with Ben Shapiro when he said, “If this nation is going to survive, we all need to pull our kids from public school immediately.” Yes, our schools seem more like indoctrination camps than anything else.
**************************
The training documents offer teachers an example on how to respond to a girl who is confused about her sexuality and gender identity.
“A 14-year-old youth, who recently asked to be called Ronnie not Veronica, discloses to you a desire to go by ‘they’ pronouns,” a slide in the training presentation states. “Ronnie wants to cut their hair short but isn’t sure how their parents will react, making them feel anxious. Ronnie is also stressed because while they have been dating Julie and ‘came out as a lesbian’ in 7th grade, they have started to have feelings for Ted, who identifies as male, and this is confusing for them.”
The course includes a “gender questionnaire,” that asks, “What is a boy?”, “What is a girl?”, “How do you know?”
Another slide encourages teachers to describe their own gender identity.
The “Be a Beacon gender training was developed by Out Youth, an organization that “promotes the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and social well-being of sexual and gender minority youth so that they can openly and safely explore and affirm their identities,” according to its website.
Out Youth hosted a drag show for “all ages” to celebrate Austin Pride Weekend on Aug. 21.

We have wondered for a few years how much longer the Left and Right are going to be able to co-exist. I must say as I was driving to work today I pulled up to a stoplight in Maple Grove and came alongside a woman in a Hyundai. She was all by herself and was wearing a serious mask covering her face and nose. I doubt she was simply virtue signaling. I believe she was truly terrified of what is waiting for her inside and outside her Hyundai!
Look at the abortion demons screaming they want to kill kids anytime, anyplace, any age. Look at the LGBTQ and how they are soon adding pedophiles to their ranks. After all, if "love is love" then how can you fault a dude for loving a 10 yr old girl? Look at the "let's make drugs legal" crowd. Look at the gay marriage crowd.
I'm just not sure I want to raise my kids and grandkids in a nation that encourages their children to choose their gender at age 5. I'm not sure I want to raise my family in a nation that is filled with the Lunatic Fringe of the Left.
And according to this guy, he's saying the Left is now talking non-stop of not wanting to co-exist with us anymore.
How much longer can this hatred foment? How much longer can all the folks in the rural areas co-exist with the liberals in the cities who have no idea where milk comes from?
Watch this short video by Victor David Hanson about the talk of Civil War happening.
All this being said, I'm very much aware that our mission field is to save the unsaved. And most of those unsaved would be on the Liberal side. I get this. While I can maybe handle myself out in the world of the lunatic fringe, I'm not sure that our kids can. I hear more and more stories about families in tears because some or none of their kids is walking with the Lord at all! So how can we send our kids to schools that are literally preaching godlessness? How many stories do we hear of kids who seemed to be walking the walk at church youth group only to end up at college and soon want nothing to do with Jesus?
Tough balancing act for sure.

Some of you maybe have even heard of this guy named Gerald Celente. He's been around for a long time telling about financial trends, bubbles, stock market banter, etc...
I happened to see a recent interview he did and of course the Title caught my eye. "I see the future and it's hell on earth."
He's saying that because of a strange financial event coming that upwards of 40% of the companies that you and I use every day could go bankrupt. If you start to imagine the chaos that would ensue for America if huge companies start to go under due to financial duress, you can also imagine that this would be the PERFECT TIME to roll out a brand new DIGITAL CURRENCY. We blogged on this yesterday and is referred to as CBDC (central bank digital currency).
You can watch this HELL ON EARTH video here and see if you agree with Mr Celente. "We are in the for the biggest collapse of all time and all they are doing is pumping it up with artificial money. The game is rigged by an elite club and you aren't in it!"
Also please remember that the Bible says a type of HELL ON EARTH is in the future and it's called the Great Tribulation.
Remember as well that Apostle Paul told us about the "secret power of lawlessness" that really was running things on earth. Everything that Celente says points to this secret power...and he's not a Christian at all...he just sees it based on evidence.
"There will be perilous times..." and the world seems to be about there. Of course the staying hand of Jesus will keep things going as long as He decides. We continue to hope that Jesus comes for us during the time on earth when people are eating, drinking, marrying, giving in marriage, planting and building. If the days are coming that Celente says are coming, there won't be much of any of those things going on.
This could be one more piece of evidence that points to the nearness of the return of the Lord.

We have blogged much on digital currency and how everything is moving towards the day when governments will have THEIR currency on a digital platform. We have said numerous times that there is NO WAY the US Gov't is going to allow Bitcoin and other digitals to dominate the currency platforms. The governments HAVE to control their own currency or they will be out of business. So they have allowed the private sector to develop all the technology and blockchain and have been watching what works and what doesn't work.
And now as they current system gets close to a total meltdown they are getting ready to roll out a new system.
That being said, Biden issued and Executive Order 14067 last March which begins to address this. I'm guessing the media didn't make a big deal out of this last March when it was issued so maybe it went under the radar for a while.
But let's go to the actual source and see what it says.
Also please notice the the Order makes mention of quite a few times of "within 180 days..." The Order was signed on March 9 and 180 days would put us in September. Maybe this is why it's starting to pop up on some radar screens?
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Policy. Advances in digital and distributed ledger technology for financial services have led to dramatic growth in markets for digital assets, with profound implications for the protection of consumers, investors, and businesses, including data privacy and security; financial stability and systemic risk; crime; national security; the ability to exercise human rights; financial inclusion and equity; and energy demand and climate change. In November 2021, non-state issued digital assets reached a combined market capitalization of $3 trillion, up from approximately $14 billion in early November 2016. Monetary authorities globally are also exploring, and in some cases introducing, central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
While many activities involving digital assets are within the scope of existing domestic laws and regulations, an area where the United States has been a global leader, growing development and adoption of digital assets and related innovations, as well as inconsistent controls to defend against certain key risks, necessitate an evolution and alignment of the United States Government approach to digital assets. The United States has an interest in responsible financial innovation, expanding access to safe and affordable financial services, and reducing the cost of domestic and cross-border funds transfers and payments, including through the continued modernization of public payment systems. We must take strong steps to reduce the risks that digital assets could pose to consumers, investors, and business protections; financial stability and financial system integrity; combating and preventing crime and illicit finance; national security; the ability to exercise human rights; financial inclusion and equity; and climate change and pollution.
Sec. 2. Objectives. The principal policy objectives of the United States with respect to digital assets are as follows:
(a) We must protect consumers, investors, and businesses in the United States. The unique and varied features of digital assets can pose significant financial risks to consumers, investors, and businesses if appropriate protections are not in place. In the absence of sufficient oversight and standards, firms providing digital asset services may provide inadequate protections for sensitive financial data, custodial and other arrangements relating to customer assets and funds, or disclosures of risks associated with investment. Cybersecurity and market failures at major digital asset exchanges and trading platforms have resulted in billions of dollars in losses. The United States should ensure that safeguards are in place and promote the responsible development of digital assets to protect consumers, investors, and businesses; maintain privacy; and shield against arbitrary or unlawful surveillance, which can contribute to human rights abuses.
(b) We must protect United States and global financial stability and mitigate systemic risk. Some digital asset trading platforms and service providers have grown rapidly in size and complexity and may not be subject to or in compliance with appropriate regulations or supervision. Digital asset issuers, exchanges and trading platforms, and intermediaries whose activities may increase risks to financial stability, should, as appropriate, be subject to and in compliance with regulatory and supervisory standards that govern traditional market infrastructures and financial firms, in line with the general principle of "same business, same risks, same rules." The new and unique uses and functions that digital assets can facilitate may create additional economic and financial risks requiring an evolution to a regulatory approach that adequately addresses those risks.
(c) We must mitigate the illicit finance and national security risks posed by misuse of digital assets. Digital assets may pose significant illicit finance risks, including money laundering, cybercrime and ransomware, narcotics and human trafficking, and terrorism and proliferation financing. Digital assets may also be used as a tool to circumvent United States and foreign financial sanctions regimes and other tools and authorities. Further, while the United States has been a leader in setting international standards for the regulation and supervision of digital assets for anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT), poor or nonexistent implementation of those standards in some jurisdictions abroad can present significant illicit financing risks for the United States and global financial systems. Illicit actors, including the perpetrators of ransomware incidents and other cybercrime, often launder and cash out of their illicit proceeds using digital asset service providers in jurisdictions that have not yet effectively implemented the international standards set by the inter-governmental Financial Action Task Force (FATF). The continued availability of service providers in jurisdictions where international AML/CFT standards are not effectively implemented enables financial activity without illicit finance controls. Growth in decentralized financial ecosystems, peer-to-peer payment activity, and obscured blockchain ledgers without controls to mitigate illicit finance could also present additional market and national security risks in the future. The United States must ensure appropriate controls and accountability for current and future digital assets systems to promote high standards for transparency, privacy, and security—including through regulatory, governance, and technological measures—that counter illicit activities and preserve or enhance the efficacy of our national security tools. When digital assets are abused or used in illicit ways, or undermine national security, it is in the national interest to take actions to mitigate these illicit finance and national security risks through regulation, oversight, law enforcement action, or use of other United States Government authorities.
(d) We must reinforce United States leadership in the global financial system and in technological and economic competitiveness, including through the responsible development of payment innovations and digital assets. The United States has an interest in ensuring that it remains at the forefront of responsible development and design of digital assets and the technology that underpins new forms of payments and capital flows in the international financial system, particularly in setting standards that promote: democratic values; the rule of law; privacy; the protection of consumers, investors, and businesses; and interoperability with digital platforms, legacy architecture, and international payment systems. The United States derives significant economic and national security benefits from the central role that the United States dollar and United States financial institutions and markets play in the global financial system. Continued United States leadership in the global financial system will sustain United States financial power and promote United States economic interests.
(e) We must promote access to safe and affordable financial services. Many Americans are underbanked and the costs of cross-border money transfers and payments are high. The United States has a strong interest in promoting responsible innovation that expands equitable access to financial services, particularly for those Americans underserved by the traditional banking system, including by making investments and domestic and cross-border funds transfers and payments cheaper, faster, and safer, and by promoting greater and more cost-efficient access to financial products and services. The United States also has an interest in ensuring that the benefits of financial innovation are enjoyed equitably by all Americans and that any disparate impacts of financial innovation are mitigated.
It's no longer a matter of IF THIS IS COMING (CBDC stands for Central Bank Digital Currency)it's only a matter of when.
Do you realize what a privilege it is to live in these days that Biblical scholars have been blind to for the past 2000 years?! It's almost like we are seeing prophecy play out in REAL TIME.
Amen! Thank you Jesus for setting us up on stage for times like these! Now pray that we can be like the Sons of Issaachar who saw the times they were in in and knew what to do.

As we have mentioned in previous posts, many people chip their dogs so that if the dog goes missing a vet can use a machine to read the implanted chip and contact the owner to tell them where their dog is. So if we care enough about our dogs to put this device into them, why not do the same thing with our kids? Also, lets say you are in a car accident and rendered unconscious? The EMTs could read your implanted chip to find out all your medical history and contacts and be able to take potentially life saving actions even though you can't talk. This sounds like awesome technology all for good!
That's what it will be sold as. But as Bible readers know, one day these chips will be used to show allegiance to the Antichrist and also be required to access the new financial system.
Remember that WE are the first generation to have this technology that John the Revelator would have had no way of understanding...but yet he wrote down that every man will be required to have a mark in order to buy or sell anything.
The latest highly controversial technology/policy that the World Economic Forum (WEF) has set out to normalize is the idea of implanting tracking chips into humans.
It wasn't that long ago that those speculating on a future where this is happening would get dismissed as conspiracy theorists, but now the world elites' most vocal outlet is predicting that chip implants will eventually become just a commodity.
And the WEF makes a case that implanting chips into children could be viewed by parents as a "solid, rational" move. All of this crops up in a blog post on the organization's website dedicated to the future of augmented reality (AR), and what is referred to as "an augmented society."
Like in many of WEF's other takes on the future of various types of technology, the emphasis is put on inserting the "right," i.e., its own "vision" in the direction these should be developing, with the inevitable mention of undefined society stakeholders who will hold the key to the ethics issue of it all.
The WEF is talking up the allegedly broad usefulness of AR going forward in fields such as healthcare, education, and professional settings, with the underpinning notion of providing guidelines as to how to "ethically" regulate this vast potential power - and therefore, when all's said and done, control it.
The WEF calls AR and similar tech transformative - but in need of "the right support, vision, and audacity."
Once again it isn't at all clear why "audacity" is thrown in, unless it is a euphemism to sell some pretty outrageous "visions" that the WEF is expressing, such as replacing drugs with brain implants that will manipulate the body with electrical pulses, and pairing all sorts of chips put into humans through surgery, with sensors one might find in a chair.
And so, with the human and the chair "seamlessly integrated," the quality of life across the board shoots up, the Davos-based group promises.
"As scary as chip implants may sound, they form part of a natural evolution that wearables once underwent. Hearing aids or glasses no longer carry a stigma," the blog post reads. "They are accessories and are even considered a fashion item. Likewise, implants will evolve into a commodity."
But critics of these trends say their opposition has nothing to do with "stigmas" - rather with serious concerns about civil rights, privacy, and the very concept of human autonomy.
I'm of the firm belief that followers of Christ will NOT be around when these chips or marks are going to be required. We believe that the Antichrist will not be revealed until the Holy Spirit is withdrawn in the rapture. But the fact that the WEF is soon going to normalize chips should be just one other sign that it is time to WAKE UP and LOOK UP.

When monkeypox first hit the news there was a lot of “here we go again!” But as the facts kept coming out some tried to ignore them. But now even NBC is publishing articles showing that monkeypox is a gay man’s disease spread by men having anal sex and oral sex with other men. How does the gay community not understand that their behavior is disgusting and perverted when things they do to and with each other can cause severe disease and even death?
Can Romans 1 be any more clear?
In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
Or even more clear is 1 Corinthians 6 that says “men who have sex with men”
Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men[a] 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
Now look at the bold below in article that specifically says “men who have sex with men”
*********************************
Monkeypox has been diagnosed in 38,019 people in 93 countries during this current global outbreak, according to the CDC. And the WHO reports that among cases with proper data, 97% have been diagnosed in gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men. The consistency with which cases have remained so overwhelmingly in this demographic, some experts argue, is further evidence that the virus transmits among them through a behavior that is exclusive to the group — anal intercourse and oral sex between men.
