Lawlessness in the Last Days

 The blizzard in Buffalo, NY was awful.  Folks froze to death in their cars while waiting for help.  Typically at times like these folks rally together to care for each other and a spirit of good will can take over.  But not in these lawless last days.  Check out the videos of the stores that were looted and destroyed while police were trying to help people.  The looters are actually proud of their activities and post their progress to social media.  Can we survive much longer so many with rotten people starting to swamp the boat?

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

 As a winter snow apocalypse descended upon Buffalo, N.Y., ahead of Christmas Day, city residents faced another disaster: A looting and crime wave.

Multiple posts on social media show the chaos as police worked like mad to contain the wave of business thefts as shops and stores closed down due to the inclement  weather, and most residents stayed indoors.

But not all: Scores of others saw the snow emergency as an opportunity to take what didn’t belong to them, with some containing audio of multiple shots being fired.

Elon Trolls the Left

 Elon has been pretty fun to watch.  I have no idea if he’s a conservative and certainly hasn’t said he’s a follower of Christ.  In fact he recently said he will most likely go to hell since he believes that’s where most humans will go.  But it’s fun to watch him point out the hypocrisy and foolishness of the Left.  Check out this article and look at the meme he posted on Twitter yesterday.  It’s hard not to smile.

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

Twitter CEO Elon Musk posted a politically charged meme on Wednesday accusing his left wing critics of being “brainwashed.”

The meme shows a human figure plastered with corporate logos and left-leaning political symbols. The figure tells a man, “They brainwashed you,” and the man, holding only an American flag, replies, “Really?”

15 Facts That Prove the Economic Meltdown Has Already Begun

We remember how close we were to a total economic meltdown back in 2007-2009.  It was very, very close to the financial system imploding.  But God had other plans.  He allowed America to remain a little while longer.  Did we actually fix anything?  Nope!  We just doubled down by printing/creating trillions of dollars to inject “confidence” into the beleaguered system.  We have no idea if God will grant us a reprieve again.  Some are saying the next economic implosion has already started. If you want more evidence of the runaway train of US spending, pay attention to the end of the article.  Congress just passed a 4000 page spending bill with over a trillion more in spending and no one even read the bill.

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

Economic conditions just keep getting worse.  As we prepare to enter 2023, we find ourselves in a high inflation environment at the same time that economic activity is really slowing down.  And just like we witnessed in 2008, employers are conducting mass layoffs as a horrifying housing crash sweeps across the nation.  

Those that have been waiting for the U.S. economy to implode can stop waiting, because an economic implosion has officially arrived.  The following are 15 facts that prove that a massive economic meltdown is already happening right now…

#1 Existing home sales have now fallen for 10 consecutive months.

#2 Existing home sales are down 35.4 percent over the last 12 months.  That is the largest year over year decline in existing home sales since the collapse of Lehman Brothers.

#3 Homebuilder sentiment has now dropped for 12 consecutive months.

#4 Home construction costs have risen more than 30 percent since the beginning of 2022.

#5 The number of single-family housing unit permits has fallen for nine months in a row.

#6 The Empire State Manufacturing Index has plunged “to a reading of negative 11.2 in December”.  That figure was way, way below expectations.

#7 In November, we witnessed the largest decline in retail sales that we have seen all year long.

#8 Even the biggest names on Wall Street are starting to let workers go.  In fact, it is being reported that Goldman Sachs will soon lay off approximately 4,000 employees.

#9 The Federal Reserve is admitting that the number of actual jobs in the United States has been overstated by over a million.

#10 U.S. job cuts were 417 percent higher in November than they were during the same month a year ago.

#11 A recent Wall Street Journal survey found that approximately two-thirds of all Americans expect the economy to get even worse next year.

#12 A newly released Bloomberg survey has discovered that 70 percent of U.S. economists believe that a recession is coming in 2023.

#13 Inflation continues to spiral wildly out of control.  At this point, a head of lettuce now costs 11 dollars at one grocery store in California.

#14 Overall, vegetable prices in the United States are more than 80 percent higher than they were at this same time last year.

#15 Thanks to the rapidly rising cost of living, 63 percent of the U.S. population is now living paycheck to paycheck.

In a desperate attempt to get inflation under control, the Federal Reserve has been dramatically increasing interest rates.

Those interest rate hikes are what has caused the housing market to crash, but Fed officials insist that such short-term pain is necessary in order to tame inflation.

But meanwhile our politicians in Washington are busy creating more inflation by borrowing and spending money at a rate that is absolutely unprecedented in our entire history.

This week, an abominable 1.7 trillion dollar omnibus spending bill is being rammed through Congress, but not a single member of Congress has read it.

Record Number of Jews Continue Returning to Israel

 There is no doubt that the rebirth of Israel after 2000 years is the largest prophetic event that has happened in the last 75 years.  The dried up bones of Israel, as mentioned in Ezekiel 37, now have life!  And as persecution continues for Jews around the world, tens of thousands continue to return to the very land that God promised them 3000 years ago.

Some 70,000 people from 95 different countries immigrated to Israel in 2022 with the assistance of the Jewish Agency for Israel, in cooperation with the Ministry of Aliyah and Integration.

It was the most olim in 23 years and a dramatic increase from 2021, when about 28,600 immigrants arrived in the country.

Jewish Agency data for the period between Jan. 1 and Dec. 1, 2022, shows that 37,364 olim arrived from Russia; 14,680 from Ukraine; 3,500 from North America, with assistance from Nefesh B'Nefesh; 2,049 from France; 1,993 from Belarus; 1,498 from Ethiopia as part of Operation Tzur Israel; 985 from Argentina; 526 from Great Britain; 426 from South Africa; and 356 from Brazil. Final totals for 2022 will be available after the year concludes.

Approximately 27% (about 19,000) of this year's olim are young people between the ages of 18 and 35, who will boost Israeli society and the economy, including professionals in fields where there is a labor shortage in Israel such as medicine, engineering and education. Around 24% (16,500) of the olim are ages 0-17; 22% are between 36 and 50 years old; 14% are aged 51-64; and 13% are 65 and over.

"It was a dramatic year that emphasized the value of mutual responsibility among the Jewish people and during which the Jewish Agency helped strengthen the resilience of Jewish communities, empowered weaker populations in Israel, brought tens of thousands of olim, saved lives from all over Ukraine and brought them to a safe harbor in Israel," said Jewish Agency Chairman Maj. Gen. (res.) Doron Almog.

"Aliyah is of existential importance to the State of Israel, both at the practical and moral level. It expresses the nature of Israel as the state of the entire Jewish people and the strategic partnership between Israel and world Jewry. The tens of thousands of olim who came to Israel this year will help build the resilience of Israeli society and will be a major growth engine for the Israeli economy," he added.

It is predicted that by the year 2048, the 100th anniversary of the State of Israel, two thirds of the world's Jewish population, about 12 million, will live in Israel.

Let's remember that that vast majority of Jews are being brought back to Israel in a state of unbelief in Jesus.  This is also what the Bible says will happen.  Zechariah says that 2/3 of the Jews will be killed by the Antichrist and his teams during the Great Tribulation.  As Christians we should be bold in our witness to our Jewish friends.  They are not saved simply because they are Jewish.  No man comes to the Father except through Jesus...and that includes Jews.

But this news about Israel and returning Jews should be one more signpost on the road that tells us how near we are to the return of  Jesus.  And that should make us very excited indeed!

US Government is Imploding Because of Widespread Corruption

 We have no idea WHEN the USA is going to meltdown.  But we do know it's going to happen.  I like how Pastor Robert Jeffers uses the word picture of a building that wired with dynamite for implosion.  You first hear the explosions knocking out all the foundations. But then there is a pause of a few seconds before  gravity takes over and pulls the building down on top if itself.  He believes that America is in those few seconds just waiting for gravity to kick in.  There really can be no argument about the foundations being pulled down.  So really, it is just a matter of time.

Catherine Austin Fitts (CAF), Publisher of The Solari Report and former Assistant Secretary of Housing (Bush 41 Admin.), says the U.S. government is so fraudulent that it will self-destruct much sooner than later.  CAF predicts, “If you look at FTX, my question is how much of the money sent to Ukraine got laundered right back for the (2022 midterm) election?  So, to me, Ukraine is not a destination point, it is a through put point. . . . At this point, and I hate to say it, but we are in full scale implosion.  The corruption is that bad.  That’s why I am telling you what we need is sovereignty.  The federal government is not going to deliver. . . . The financial coup has reached a point where if you want sovereignty, the only person who can deliver that is your state governor and your legislature. . . . If you’ve got a great state AG, if you have great legislature, if you have a great governor, you better start supporting them.  They are the people that can protect your sovereignty.  You need governmental sovereignty if you are going to have individual sovereignty, and you better do it now.  You have no time to be entertained by Joe Biden, Trump and Hunter Biden.”

The federal government corruption was turbocharged in 2019.  CAF says, “While everyone was focusing on the teenage sex life of the Supreme Court nominee Kavanaugh, the House, the Senate, the White House, Democrat and Republican, both sides of the aisle got together and approved Statement 56 of the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board (FASAB) which said they could keep secret books.  That was everybody—together.  So, there is no Right vs Left.  There is no Trump vs Biden.  There is a machine in control of a spending machine that is financed with our taxes, and debt borrowed in our name, that is being sold into our pension funds and retirement accounts. . . . That machine, to keep balancing the books, is implementing a depopulation plan.  That is the reality that has to be faced and changing the President won’t matter. . . . If you want to make real progress against the machine, you’ve got to talk turkey about where your money is going, who are the local leaders and who are your state legislators who are going to support you when this machine fails you completely.  If it doesn’t fail you in 2023, it will fail you in 2024.  So, you better be ready.”

CAF says a big trend in 2023 that is already underway is people realizing the CV19 injections were not meant to save you but harm and kill you.  CAF say the CV19 injections were a bioweapon meant for depopulation, and everybody in America will know this in 2023.  CAF says, “The mainstream media has done a good job painting a different picture, but at some point, you cannot defy reality, and that is coming out.  We have already seen it translate into market action.  We see life insurance companies trading down 30% and the funeral home business trading up 20%.  That is a 50% divergence.”

CAF talks about the importance of physical gold and silver in the not-so-distant future.  CAF also talks about using cash, growing clean food, paying down debts, Central Bank Digital Currency, places to live to weather the coming storm, taxes and the strength of binding together for sovereignty against the machine.

In closing, CAF says, “Get out of fear and stay out of fear. . . .You think a snowflake is weak and fragile until enough of them get together, and then they can shut down New York City. . . . If we can face it, God can fix it.  Don’t go to fear.”

We have said it for years.  Most Americans believe that the battle is between Republicans and Democrats.  Satan loves it that way because it ignores God's clear words in Ephesians 6 that our battle isn't with flesh and blood humans but with the forces of evil in the heavenly realms.  He gets us so focused on hating Joe Biden or Donald Trump that we don't see what's actually happening behind the scenes.

Congress just passed a 4600 page spending bill and they only had 48 hours to read it before they were forced to vote on it.  Do you really think anyone really cares that we just keep creating trillions of dollars out of thin air?  Is there any financial sanity anywhere to be found?

As always, we continue to hope that America's final collapse happens when millions of Americans suddenly vanish to go meet Jesus in the clouds.  But, of course, we have no guarantee it will happen like that.

Russian Leader Lists his Wish List for 2023

 Medeved was the President of Russia who held the place for Putin to be re-elected after they changed their constitution.  He tweeted his wish list for 2023.  This is interesting in that he has Civil War in America on the list and also the collapse of the Bretton Woods system which has given America access to the world's only reserve currency these past 75 years.  It's also interesting in that he dreams of the new currency being fully digital.  

1. Oil prices rise to $150 a barrel and natural gas to $5,000 per 1,000 cubic meters.

2. Britain returns to the European Union.

3. The European Union then collapses, along with the euro currency.

4. Poland and Hungary capture the western regions of “the former Ukraine.”

5. Germany creates a “Fourth Reich” with Poland, the Baltic states, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, the “Kyiv Republic,” “and other outcasts.”

6. War breaks out between France and the Fourth Reich, leading to a new partition of Europe.

7. Northern Ireland leaves the U.K. and joins the Republic of Ireland.

8. American Civil War: California and Texas split, declare independence; Texas and Mexico create union state; Elon Musk is elected president “in some of the states assigned to the Republicans after the civil war.”

9. Major stock markets and financial activity move from the U.S. and Europe to Asia.

10. The Bretton Woods financial system, IMF and World Bank collapse; The dollar and euro are rejected as world reserve currencies. Gold standard returns, and “digital fiat currencies” become actively used.

Also kind of funny is that he dreams of Elon Musk being elected President of the states assigned to Republicans following the Civil War.  Elon Musk responded to the Russian Tweet with "Lol...remind me of this in a year."

No doubt we are living in strange times.

Prophecy Communication Compliance Day

 It would appear that folks like us who warn against impending doom for the nations and sinners may be in trouble for saying such things if we were in Ghana.

The police said they had adopted 27 December as Prophecy Communication Compliance Day.

"This day is being set aside to remind all of us to practice our faith within the confines of the law to ensure safe, secure environment, free of anxiety generated from predictions of impending harm, danger or death," the statement said.

They don't want anyone warning others that their lifestyles and rejection of Christ could lead them to an eternity in hell...because that could cause folks to become anxious.

Mother Earth or Father God?

 Last night we stumbled upon a PBS show that followed a Nature show we had intentionally watched.  The show consisted of showing us all how these people from various parts of the world were all flying to Rome to meet the Pope to discuss what they can all do to save the planet.  One dude was from the rain forest in Brazil and he wore a feathered head dress the entire time.  He also mentioned that his god was some god he called Tuta...or something like that.  Another was a 13 year old girl from India who was a kind of Greta Thunberg except from India.  She had the message that the previous generations had destroyed the earth and now mother nature HAS to be fixed or we're all going to die.  The next dude was from Senegal and the rain and ocean had flooded a school so the kids had no place to study.  His god was Allah.  There is video that he plays of his friends sailing away in an overcrowded boat hoping to get to Europe and enter illegally.  The boat sinks and people die and this is blamed on global warming and social injustice.  And finally we had a husband and wife from Hawaii that flew planes and equipment over the coral reefs and have determined it is all dying because of rising ocean temps and rising sea levels.

So there was our cast.  And now they all made their way to Rome to meet the Pope!  The Pope met with them and said that the Bible has a mythical creation story but has nothing to do with reality.  Furthermore that Mother Earth is being destroyed!  And all the major faiths of the world need to come together and share their efforts with the unbelieving scientists and Social Justice Warriors to stop climate change or we are all going to die.

It was very hard to watch as the Pope never mentioned anything about the weight of sin, the reality of hell, the necessity of Jesus Christ and NOTHING about the problems that God warns of to those who would worship CREATION INSTEAD OF THE CREATOR!!

Of course everyone cried at the end when they all realize together that the planet is dying.  And they all vow to work together and say things like "I'll never forget you!  We can all do this!"  There was no mention of HOW they were going to stay in touch with the feather-wearing Indian who travels by canoe in the rain forest.  Also there was no mention of how much jet fuel was expended by these people flying and driving to get to Rome to see the Pope!  There was no mention on how the 13 yr old girl was qualified to speak at all.

We can't imagine how many times this PBS show is going to be played for school kids all over America!  Of course the Public schools will welcome the fact that this propaganda is serving to turn little kids into Mother Earth worshipers. 

Right before we turned on the TV and ended up watchin this show, I had done by daily Bible reading.  Ironically, on Christmas Day my assigned reading came from Zephaniah and Revelation.

Below is the passage from Zephaniah 1.  God says that one day in the future He is going to wipe away everything from the face of the earth.  All the birds in the sky and all the fish in the sea.  He's also going to destroy all mankind...again.  Read the passage below.  

If you believe the Word of God, and you should, these folks featured on the PBS show last night have NOTHING to say or do that is going to save the world.  

Our focus needs to be on saving souls from a hell-bound world.  We need to worship the Creator and care for the nature He has given us...but NOT WORSHIP THE CREATION. 

It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the Living God.  Thank you Jesus for giving your followers peace with God. 

“I will sweep away everything

    from the face of the earth,”

declares the Lord.

3 “I will sweep away both man and beast;

    I will sweep away the birds in the sky

    and the fish in the sea—

    and the idols that cause the wicked to stumble.”[a]

“When I destroy all mankind

    on the face of the earth,”

declares the Lord,

4 “I will stretch out my hand against Judah

    and against all who live in Jerusalem.

I will destroy every remnant of Baal worship in this place,

    the very names of the idolatrous priests—

5 those who bow down on the roofs

    to worship the starry host,

those who bow down and swear by the Lord

    and who also swear by Molek,[b]

6 those who turn back from following the Lord

    and neither seek the Lord nor inquire of him.”

7 Be silent before the Sovereign Lord,

    for the day of the Lord is near.

The Lord has prepared a sacrifice;

    he has consecrated those he has invited.

8 “On the day of the Lord’s sacrifice

    I will punish the officials

    and the king’s sons

and all those clad

    in foreign clothes.

9 On that day I will punish

    all who avoid stepping on the threshold,[c]

who fill the temple of their gods

    with violence and deceit.

10 “On that day,”

    declares the Lord,

“a cry will go up from the Fish Gate,

    wailing from the New Quarter,

    and a loud crash from the hills.

11 Wail, you who live in the market district[d];

    all your merchants will be wiped out,

    all who trade with[e] silver will be destroyed.

12 At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps

    and punish those who are complacent,

    who are like wine left on its dregs,

who think, ‘The Lord will do nothing,

    either good or bad.’

13 Their wealth will be plundered,

    their houses demolished.

Though they build houses,

    they will not live in them;

though they plant vineyards,

    they will not drink the wine.”

14 The great day of the Lord is near—

    near and coming quickly.

The cry on the day of the Lord is bitter;

    the Mighty Warrior shouts his battle cry.

15 That day will be a day of wrath—

    a day of distress and anguish,

        a day of trouble and ruin,

    a day of darkness and gloom,

        a day of clouds and blackness—

16     a day of trumpet and battle cry

against the fortified cities

    and against the corner towers.

17 “I will bring such distress on all people

    that they will grope about like those who are blind,

    because they have sinned against the Lord.

Their blood will be poured out like dust

    and their entrails like dung.

18 Neither their silver nor their gold

    will be able to save them

    on the day of the Lord’s wrath.”

In the fire of his jealousy

    the whole earth will be consumed,

for he will make a sudden end

    of all who live on the earth.

God in Flesh=Emmanuel

 We will spend all of eternity marveling at the amazing story.  The Creator of the universe came into his own creation to be birthed by a lowly Jewish girl in a barn in a backwater podunk town called Bethlehem. He sent himself here to die. He came as the final perfect sacrifice and died at the exact time the Jews were killing the Passover lambs.  He suffered unimaginable pain so that those who believe will never taste hell or death.

Merry Christmas everyone!  Jesus is coming back soon!  And what a day it will be!
