New BRICS Currency Backed by Gold Will End US Dollar Dominance

 If you think things look a little sketchy for America going forward, just imagine the day when the rest of the world quits clamoring for US Dollars and the demand for said dollars goes crashing down.  The standard of living in America will start to be put under serious pressure because we WON'T BE ABLE to borrow or print our way into a lifestyle we can't afford.

Think of it like this;

Your childhood friend who you haven't seen for 30 years shows up in your driveway.  He's driving a huge pickup and pulling a huge 5th wheel camper.  Wow!  What have you been up to you ask.  Oh just been living the dream!  We are putting the final touches on our new home so bought a camper and truck to travel around in until our lake home on Minnetonka is finished.

You quickly add it up in your mind and you realize that this dude has some bucks to be living the life that he just explained.

A few months later you read in the paper that this dude was arrested for stealing clients money and spending it on himself.  In reality this arrest record reports that his real assets were almost nothing.  Now you know the REST OF THE STORY.

The same thing will be true when America falls and we look at the balance sheet and see $100 trillion of obligations and no money in the bank and no way to print the money that the world now wants.

Is the global dominance of the U.S. dollar in danger?  In recent weeks, there has been lots of speculation about the introduction of a new BRICS currency that would be backed by gold.  In this article, my goal is to sort through what is true and what is not true.  

From August 22nd to August 24th, the 15th BRICS summit will be held in Johannesburg, South Africa.  Back on July 5th, RT sparked a firestorm of rumors when it reported that a decision to introduce a new BRICS currency that would be backed by gold would be made prior to the upcoming summit in Johannesburg...

BRICS is set to introduce a new currency backed by gold, in contrast to the credit-backed US dollar, with the decision coming a month ahead of the bloc's summit in Johannesburg. With the growing initiative, more and more countries are lining-up to join the group.

In the aftermath of that report, many prominent voices were warning that the U.S. dollar was in big trouble.

For example, author Robert Kiyosaki boldly declared that the U.S. dollar "will die"...

The end of the U.S. dollar is near, said the best-selling author of 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' Robert Kiyosaki, citing an upcoming BRICS summit in South Africa as a trigger.

Kiyosaki is projecting that the BRICS group, comprised of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, will announce their new gold-backed digital currency during its summit on August 22-24, and it will have dire consequences for the U.S. dollar.

"August 22, 2023, in Johannesburg, South Africa, BRICS nations announce gold backed crypto. US $ will die," Kiyosaki tweeted last week. "Trillions of US $ rush home. Inflation through the roof."

Without a doubt, the dominance of the U.S. dollar is under threat from multiple directions.

But a new BRICS currency will not be introduced during this upcoming summit.

During an interview with Bloomberg, one of the top executives at The New Development Bank publicly admitted that the creation of a new BRICS currency is "a medium to long term ambition", but he also confirmed that such a currency will not be introduced right now...

The New Development Bank, a financial institution created by the BRICS bloc of emerging markets, doesn't have any immediate plans for the group to create a common currency, its vice president and chief financial officer said.

While the members of BRICS - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - are pushing to conduct more trade between each other in local currencies, they aren't ready to challenge the global dominance of the dollar, Leslie Maasdorp said in an interview on Wednesday with Bloomberg TV's Haslinda Amin.

"The development of anything alternative is more a medium to long term ambition," he said. "There is no suggestion right now to creates a BRICS currency."

But that doesn't mean that really big things aren't happening.

And during this upcoming summit, finding more ways for BRICS countries to settle trades "in their own national currencies" is something that will be on the agenda...

Sooklal says BRICS, which is made up of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, is looking to strengthen economic ties among member nations by settling trades in their own national currencies.

The CBDC Threat: Overcoming the Financial Control Grid

"What we have said and we continue to deepen is trading in local currencies and settlement in local currencies."

Sooklal adds that the decision of the US and its allies to impose financial and economic sanctions against Russia for the war in Ukraine has catalyzed the move of the economic bloc to shift away from the dollar.

They really do intend to move away from using the U.S. dollar.

This is a process that will take time, but the dominance of the U.S. dollar in global trade is definitely starting to erode.

So whether the BRICS countries choose to establish a new currency or not, the truth is that things are changing.

The U.S. dollar will never again be as dominant as it once was, and great economic chaos is ahead of us.

The western elite had dreamed of uniting the entire globe under one economic and financial regime, but right now the very deep divisions between east and west continue to grow with each passing day.

Remember that the US Dollar is based totally on FAITH AND CONFIDENCE IN THE US GOVERNMENT.  One day, maybe soon, the world will cease to have faith and confidence in the US Government and when that day comes they will flood to someplace that backs their currency by something more than air and empty promises.

We hope that day doesn't arrive until after the rapture but there can be no promises of that.

The US Government Just Told Us About Aliens and No One Cares

 One would think that it would be in bold print in every paper all over the world!  We have alien craft and alien bodies!!  But folks just yawn and keep scrolling.  Satan’s plan is complete in that he can release his demons dressed up as aliens and the world won’t freak out.  In fact the people of earth will say, “welcome! We’ve been expecting you!  What took you so long?”

Foxes Seen in Jerusalem and Temple Mount

The Jews in Israel who are reading the Talmud and Torah are getting excited because their prophesies and signs are manifesting.  This means that the 3rd Temple is going to be built.  They believe the messiah is going to sit in that temple and bring Jerusalem back to glory.  In reality, they will accept the Antichrist as their messiah and he will begin to destroy them 3 1/2 years after signing a peace agreement.  For Christians an article like this should be one more signpost in a long line pointing to the soon return of Christ to call us into the clouds.

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

In a clear sign of the imminent rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem, a fox was spotted near the Zion Gate in the Old City on the evening of Tisha B’Av, the day commemorating the destruction of the two Temples.

The fox was photographed by Barak Blumenthal as he toured the city on the auspicious day.  

While not miraculous, foxes generally avoid cities and populated areas. Indeed, the sighting comes when Jerusalem was full of people coming to commemorate the day. In 2019, several foxes were spotted on the Temple Mount during the nine days of austerity leading up to the Ninth of Av. 

Wild foxes at the site of the destroyed Temple are described specifically in the Talmud.

This story in the Talmud describes foxes on the Temple Mount as a sign that Jerusalem will be rebuilt. This precise scenario was discussed in the Talmud (Makkot 24b). Rabban Gamliel, Rabbi Elazar ben Azaria, Rabbi Joshua and Rabbi Akiva went up to Jerusalem.

When they reached the Temple Mount, they saw a fox emerging from the place of the Holy of Holies.

The others started weeping, but Rabbi Akiva laughed. Rabbi Akiva asked the rabbis why they cried and they explained that to see a wild animal in such a holy place, a place which was forbidden to unfit men, was distressing. Rabbi Akiva noted that this was precisely the reason he laughed. He explained that the fact that the prophecy of Uriah related by the Prophet Micah had come to be was proof that the prophecy of Zechariah would also come to be.

The Prophet Micah described the total destruction of Jerusalem.

 Assuredly, because of you, Tzion shall be plowed as a field, And Yerushalayim shall become heaps of ruins, And the Har Habayit A shrine in the woods. Micah 3:12

The Prophet Zechariah described the return of Jerusalem to its days of glory.

Thus said the lord of Hosts: There shall yet be old men and women in the squares of Yerushalayim, each with staff in hand because of their great age. And the squares of the city shall be crowded with boys and girls playing in the squares. Zechariah 8-4

Indeed, the fox was witnessing the manifestation of the prophecy as the city was full of Jews, young and old, enjoying what had historically been a day of austerity.

The Inconvenient Truth About the History of Democrats

 While in a debate with a liberal school teacher who proudly waves the flag of Democrat, he said that he would be offended by the Confederate Flag and would allow it nowhere near his classroom.  He claimed that any black students would equally share his offense.

I asked if he was equally offended by the word DEMOCRAT and if he realized that any of his black students might be offended at the mere mention of the word OR at the sight of their blue donkey mascot?

So let's look at the history of Democrats and then be prepared to have the discussion with them of just how offensive their name really is.

This article was written by Carol Swain, professor of political science and law at Vanderbilt University

When you think about racial equality and civil rights, which political party comes to mind? The Republicans? Or, the Democrats? Most people would probably say the Democrats. But this answer is incorrect.

Since its founding in 1829, the Democratic Party has fought against every major civil rights initiative, and has a long history of discrimination.

The Democratic Party defended slavery, started the Civil War, opposed Reconstruction, founded the Ku Klux Klan, imposed segregation, perpetrated lynchings, and fought against the civil rights acts of the 1950s and 1960s.

In contrast, the Republican Party was founded in 1854 as an anti-slavery party. Its mission was to stop the spread of slavery into the new western territories with the aim of abolishing entirely. This effort, however, was dealt a major blow by the Supreme Court. In the 1857 case Dred Scott v. Sandford, the court ruled that slaves aren’t citizens; they’re property. The seven justices who voted in favor of slavery? All Democrats. The two justices who dissented? Both Republicans.

The slavery question was, of course, ultimately resolved by a bloody civil war. The commander-in-chief during that war was the first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln – the man who freed the slaves.

Six days after the Confederate army surrendered, John Wilkes Booth, a Democrat, assassinated President Lincoln. Lincoln’s vice president, a Democrat named Andrew Johnson, assumed the presidency. But Johnson adamantly opposed Lincoln’s plan to integrate the newly freed slaves into the South’s economic and social order.

Johnson and the Democratic Party were unified in their opposition to the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery; the 14th Amendment, which gave blacks citizenship; and the 15th Amendment, which gave blacks the vote. All three passed only because of universal Republican support.

During the era of Reconstruction, federal troops stationed in the south helped secure rights for the newly freed slaves. Hundreds of black men were elected to southern state legislatures as Republicans, and 22 black Republicans served in the US Congress by 1900. The Democrats did not elect a black man to Congress until 1935.

But after Reconstruction ended, when the federal troops went home, Democrats roared back into power in the South. They quickly reestablished white supremacy across the region with measures like black codes – laws that restricted the ability of blacks to own property and run businesses. And they imposed poll taxes and literacy tests, used to subvert the black citizen’s right to vote.

And how was all of this enforced? By terror -- much of it instigated by the Ku Klux Klan, founded by a Democrat, Nathan Bedford Forrest.

As historian Eric Foner - himself a Democrat - notes: “In effect, the Klan was a military force serving the interests of the Democratic Party.”

President Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat, shared many views with the Klan. He re-segregated many federal agencies, and even screened the first movie ever played at the White House -the racist film “The Birth of a Nation,” originally entitled “The Clansman.”

A few decades later, the only serious congressional opposition to the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 came from Democrats.

Eighty percent of Republicans in Congress supported the bill. Less than 70 percent of Democrats did. Democratic senators filibustered the bill for 75 days, until Republicans mustered the few extra votes needed to break the logjam.

And when all of their efforts to enslave blacks, keep them enslaved, and then keep them from voting had failed, the Democrats came up with a new strategy: If black people are going to vote, they might as well vote for Democrats. As President Lyndon Johnson was purported to have said about the Civil Rights Act, “I’ll have them n*****s voting Democrat for two hundred years.”

So now, the Democratic Party prospers on the votes of the very people it has spent much of its history oppressing.

Democrats falsely claim that the Republican Party is the villain, when in reality it’s the failed policies of the Democratic Party that have kept blacks down. Massive government welfare has decimated the black family. Opposition to school choice has kept them trapped in failing schools. Politically correct policing has left black neighborhoods defenseless against violent crime.

So, when you think about racial equality and civil rights, which political party should come to mind?

Why There Will be No Civil War in Israel

 The folks in Israel seem to be very divided over the Netanyahu government pushing some court reforms.  In fact some of the articles had quotes from those against saying, "civil war is a possibility".  We don't know how similar this might be to American's frustration with our Supreme Court rulings but maybe it does have some similarities.

For instance, back in the 2010's here in America there was great debate about legalizing gay marriage.  All of the States were putting together plans to make gay marriage NOT LEGAL.  And then in 2015 the Supreme Court stepped in an over ruled all of the State's plans and ruled that GAY MARRIAGE IS NOW THE LAW OF THE LAND.  Can they really do that??  Of course!  And they did!  So now you have a few unelected Supreme Court judges saying that gays can marry anywhere in the country.  They did the same thing with abortion and now last year a different Supreme Court voted to put abortion back into the hands of the states.

I believe this is the similar frustration going on in Israel.  Netanyahu and his government want more power to come from the elected officials.  So will it lead to a civil war?  The author of this article says it won't.

Readers of the mainstream Israeli press see an avalanche of articles and advertisements every day proclaiming that the country is on the edge of civil war and then blaming the right’s judicial reform proposals for bringing us there. But we are not there.

One might pause and point out that the claim of causation is known to be false because the protests were planned before the judicial reform proposals were even released. In this respect, the protesters’ advocates are no different from PLO head Yasser Arafat, who claimed that the Second Intifada was “caused” by Ariel Sharon’s visit to the Temple Mount in September of 2000. In fact, we know the terror program was planned in advance. Sharon’s visit was simply used to justify it, as if anything could justify the mass murder of civilians.

But I wish to call attention to a different and more fundamental point, which is that the left and the right in Israel do not play by the same rules.

The left, well advised by expensive PR firms, has seized on the Israeli flag as its prop, and justified the intensity of its opposition to judicial reform with the age-old maxim,אין לנו ארץ אחרת—“We have no other country”—to add to their display about their team’s irrevocable commitment to Israel. At the same time though, protest leaders—a group coextensive with the high-tech, wealthy, secular, elite—have called for an exit to or reliance on exactly that: other countries. They threaten to leave for other countries; to move their money or their businesses to other countries; to send their children there. And they call for Israel to be stripped of the ability to defend itself unless their views of politics are adopted as binding upon everyone.

The latest example of this is a statement issued on July 20 by Nadav Argaman, the former head of the Shabak (Israel’s FBI) that passage of legislation, barring the courts from striking down Knesset-enacted laws simply on the ground that a majority of one court panel think the law unreasonable, will constitute a breach of the solemn contract between soldiers and the state. Therefore, he claims, the soldier’s oath to obey orders and to defend the country no longer applies.

Such a statement by such a man might make one tremble for Israel’s future. That is exactly the goal, just as the torrent of articles about hundreds of reserve soldiers who say they will not show up for duty when called might lead one to believe that most of the most important fighters will choose to leave the country defenseless if their demands are not met.

This is false, as is revealed by both recent events, not-so-recent events, and events from long ago. And the driver of these events is a politically incorrect fact that must be confronted: the left and the right don’t play by the same rules.

While the sarvanut—refusal to serve—of some soldiers has received a wide broadcast from a sympathetic press, it is dwarfed to insignificance by the insistence on serving by tens and tens of thousands of other soldiers who know better. Letters circulated among reservists for one day—one day alone—promising never to refuse orders were signed by more than 60,000 people. In 24 hours. No mention of these letters appeared in any large circulation Israeli newspaper or website so far as I can tell.

But this commitment to the command structure and to that most basic principle of democracy—civilian control of the army—is part of a larger cultural fact: that when the Israeli government doesn’t do what the right wants, the right never threatens to turn over the board and walk away from the game.

This was true during the removal of all Jews from the Gaza Strip, which was passionately opposed by the right but ordered by the government. No political leader on the right encouraged soldiers to refuse to obey orders to carry out the directive. As committed as they were to the Jewish communities in Gaza, the right’s leaders were far more deeply committed to the State of Israel. And they knew that sarvanut—refusing orders, even orders that they were convinced were violations of deep religious principles about the holiness of the Land of Israel—would lead to a civil war that could destroy the state. So they did not refuse and did not encourage refusal. The few marginal figures who did publicly contemplate refusal were dismissed as unpatriotic. And such people were ignored.

We can go back further. In 1944, the right-wing Lehi assassinated a British official in Egypt. In a period known as the saisson, British forces were joined in their retaliation by David Ben-Gurion’s Palmach, which rounded up and tortured their opponents in Menachem Begin’s Irgun.

Begin’s men wanted to retaliate against the Palmach. But he refused to allow it because Begin knew that retaliation would lead to civil war. His men obeyed him. So there was no retaliation.

The same deep wellspring of commitment to the Jewish state is what led Begin to order his men on the Altalena not to fire back when Ben-Gurion’s soldiers fired on that ship in the midst of a struggle over who would have control over weapons on board, which had been brought to arm Jews defending the nascent state from those who sought to destroy it. The same principle was at stake, and the same action was taken: Shooting back would threaten civil war. So the right did not shoot back.

So it was then; so it is today and so it will be tomorrow. The right will not shoot back at the left.

In contrast to the menacing, if not outright violent, demonstrations conducted by the left, the right do not try to disrupt the operation of the country. It’s not only that they don’t try to paralyze the army or use the army to cause the rest of the country to do their will. It’s also that they don’t try to shut down the country. They don’t shut down the airport or the nation’s train system; they don’t scream at their political opponents in restaurants or disrupt their opponents’ home lives or Sabbaths.

The right will also not do something else the left talks about and sometimes does: leave. While they march to the tune of אין לנו ארץ אחרת, the left has gone so far as to embrace a BDS campaign against their own country. They have called for the exit of investment cash and for the emigration of what they believe to be Israel’s most valuable citizens— themselves —if laws are passed with which they fundamentally disagree. Los Angeles, New York, Berlin (really? Berlin?) are the places to which such Israelis go. They do indeed have other countries. Or at least they think they do.

The right does not do this and, I believe, never will. When the right says אין לנו ארץ אחרת, they know it’s true. They don’t threaten to leave on the ground that their politics are not the dominant politics, and they don’t actually leave for that reason. After all, the right was the losing side of politics for the first three decades of the country’s existence. But there was no movement of Jabotinskyites or haredim threatening to move … anywhere. They were committed to the country (and to their families), which is why they are now the majority.

So the right doesn’t fight the way the left does, both because of this deep commitment but also because the right knows it doesn’t have to. This is true in part because it outnumbers the left, and because that population gap will only grow over the coming years as the fertility of religious and traditional families outstrips that of secular ones.

It is also unnecessary because the logic of the left’s position is clear, and it will be followed: If, in fact, you think that your commitment to the state is merely conditional—I promise to serve only as long as the government doesn’t do anything I fundamentally disagree with—then when you really think that commitment is broken you want to leave and you will leave. That’s what they say on the left, and there’s little doubt that at least some of them mean it.

So they will go. They may be missed by some, but contrary to these worthies’ estimation of their own importance, the state will survive.

Still, there is an alternative, which is that they will come to their senses and realize that they were right when they said we have no country other than this one. They will stay. They will realize they must fulfill their commitment to their country. They will live as free people in communities that share their values, and they will participate in the political process here just as minorities do in every democracy.

Of course, there’s also a third option: The Israelis who leave for what they think are greener pastures might soon find out that those pastures are not so pastoral. Perhaps they will go out for sushi in LA or to a supermarket in Paris and be reminded why their grandparents found it necessary to create a Jewish state.

Then they will see that they were right when they said we have no other country.

Here;  Why there will be no civil war in Israel - Israel365 News

We do know that Israel will most likely grow more divided as the Great Tribulation nears.  This would be one very good reason WHY the Antichrist will be able to come to power and be accepted by Israel...because he will have a great way to pull the Jews of Israel into his web of lies by promising peace.

UFO Hearings

 The push to disclose the existence of “aliens” and their “off-world” aircrafts continues at lightening speed.  The headlines about such are in the headline news almost daily now.  There can be little doubt that this alien agenda will be used for a Last Days deception of epic proportions.  Here is just one more headline article that appeared on Google News today.

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

How did we get here?

In June, Grusch, a former intelligence official, shocked people in the US and beyond when he claimed the US government has possession of “intact and partially intact” alien vehicles.

Grusch, who led analysis of unexplained anomalous phenomena (UAP) within a US Department of Defense agency until 2023, alleged in a series of interviews that the government and defense contractors had been recovering fragments of non-human craft, and in some cases entire craft, for decades.

Some of those craft were “very large, like a football field kind of size”, Gruschtold NewsNation. He added that there had been “malevolent events” connected to UFOs.

Grusch has not seen the alien craft himself, but said in an interview with the Debrief that his claims are based on “extensive interviews with high-level intelligence officials”.

Wednesday’s hearing was sparked by Grusch’s allegations that information on these alien vehicles is being illegally withheld from Congress. Grusch said the government had a crash retrieval program which had collected downed UFO craft, and that his investigation into that program was stymied.

That prompted the House oversight committee to order an investigation and hearing into what the government knows, or doesn’t know, about UFOs.

Which witnesses will appear at the hearing?

The star turn will be Grusch himself, and he will be joined by David Fravor, a former navy commander who reported seeing a strange object in the sky while on a training mission in 2004.

Ryan Graves, a retired navy pilot who in 2021 told the 60 Minutes news showhe had seen unidentified aerial phenomena off the Atlantic coast “every day for at least a couple years”, will also appear.

Has there been a smooth path to this hearing?

Not really. In fact, Burchett gave a furious press briefing on Thursday, when he alleged that the investigation into Grusch’s claims had been “stonewalled” by federal officials.

“We’ve had a heck of a lot of pushback about this hearing. There are a lot of people who don’t want this to come to light,” Burchett said. “We’re gonna get to the bottom of it, dadgummit. Whatever the truth may be. We’re done with the cover-up.”

After Grusch initially aired his claims, the US defense department told NewsNation it has “not discovered any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programs regarding the possession or reverse-engineering of any extraterrestrial materials have existed in the past or exist currently”.

Will we get proof of UFOs?

It seems unlikely, but the hearing is likely to raise questions. We can expect to hear Grusch give a detailed version of his allegations regarding what the government knows about UFOs, and potentially more claims of evidence of aliens.

We might hear new information, too. Since the oversight committee began its investigation Burchett, without naming his sources, has not been shy in claiming that the US has proof of extraterrestrials.

On the Event Horizon podcast, Burchett was asked if had seen “compelling evidence” that the US was seeing things in the sky “that might not be of this earth”.

“Oh, 100%. 100%. No question,” he said.

Burchett has also said the US has evidence of technology that “defies all of our laws of physics”, and speculated that the extraterrestrial craft could be dangerous.

“If they’re out there, they’re out there, and if they have this kind of technology, then they could turn us into a charcoal briquette,” Burchett said.

A Lot of Fear

 I posted this article in full because there is a lot of fear out there even though there should be no fear amongst Bible believers.  What we are watching might make us feel sorrow as we watch our nation fall away from having any FEAR OF THE LORD but it should not illicit fear in us!  On the contrary we are the ones who should have the joy of the Lord in spite of the daily barrage of headlines telling us how bad things really are...and they are!  Remind ourselves that we are already winners because God chose us for eternal life!  This short season of life on earth is going to pass away for everyone of us and Jesus is soon going bring “on earth as it is in heaven”, so let’s encourage each other with these words.

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

There’s fear all around. It’s like a bad odor lingering about. Been this way for some time now. Even before COVID, there was this sense of impending and crushing fear in the air. Yet, during and then with the aftermath of the lockdowns and all the other prophetic-related events happening, this fear is amplified and grows every day.

Why Do We Fear?

Why do we fear? First, let’s frame this in the context of the fear of the current situation of politics, fearmongering about climate change, and, yes, the continuing and lingering effects of the COVID thing and other potential pandemics that have gripped the world with a daily dread of impending doom.

The main suspect is Satan and the propaganda put out by those under him who control the narrative. The fear swaying people are those emotions attached to their heartstrings. It’s like watching a sad movie scene being amplified by accompanying music pulling emotions out for the sake of the moment.

The topics of morality, life, death, right and wrong, and the greater good are just a few examples of what people are being inundated with each day to cause a reaction of fear. The effect of this fear is to conjure up illicit compliance and control to the government by those who control policy from the top down.

Why? Because the world system wants people to believe the government knows what is best for them, not God. Satan and his world system need complete control of people. The only way they can do this is to convince people to surrender their individual rights and autonomy to man. They do this through fear under the guise of safety, security, and to save the earth, of course.

Unfortunately, the chords being played by those behind the scenes to affect this compliance are mostly successful. The population at large is throwing their individual and collective rights at the feet of those who have convinced them that they need the government to save them from all the bad in the world.

Why are those controlling the world successful?

This is a simple answer. Satan, the great deceiver, the prince of this world, has pulled the blinds over the eyes of the unsuspecting and non-discerning Christians.

The excuse for those not part of the Body of Christ is that they have no knowledge of the Truth of the Word about Christ yet, or through their blatant denial of this Truth. For those who are falling for these schemes of Satan that are believers, the blame goes to both the individual believer’s lack of effort and those in the pulpit not fulfilling their job.

Satan has convinced unbelieving people that the God of the Bible does not exist, and therefore the answer to long life and security is the government. For Christians, Satan has twisted and tweaked the Word of God to deceive them enough to have blatant or lingering doubts about the inerrancy of the Word and the sovereignty of God. This is done through decisively placed propaganda, social programming, and agents of evil placed in churches and other Christian institutions to skew the facts and truths found only in the Word of God.

Why Discerning Christians see through the lies.

Through the chaos and noise happening all around, the voice of the Holy Spirit is speaking to believers all the time about the truth and validity of what the world is saying and doing. The issue is a vast number of Christians do not hear His voice because they are not attuned to His voice.

If you have ever been in a crowded and noisy room with your spouse or your child, when one of them cries or calls your name, you immediately know who it is and what direction they are speaking from. This is because we recognize and are attuned to their voice. This is how Christians need to hear the Holy Spirit in the noise of the world.

If, in that same room, a stranger called your name, you would not notice or react to it because you are unfamiliar with their voice. This is the same with the Holy Spirit if we are not tuned into His voice.

The Holy Spirit is always talking to us and giving us guidance. That voice in your heart that is pulling you to the things and ways of God is always active. The issue is that some are not familiar with His voice, so they do not pay attention or respond. Therefore, when the world system and those pushing the world agenda speak, the voice of the Holy Spirit that gives discernment to recognize the obvious and subtle lies is not heard.

Christians that have and continually grow in discernment clearly hear the Holy Spirit as He guides their minds and hearts to the truth of those things contrary to the ways and things of God. To be attuned to the Holy Spirit comes through knowing, internalizing, and acting upon the Word of God in Christ-like ways.

Through reading, hearing, and studying the Word of God, the foundational principles of our faith are sewn in our hearts and minds. Our maturity in Christ can only grow and move forward by doing this. This, in turn, gives us Christians the power of discernment. With the power of discernment, we can know when the world is trying to scare us into their beliefs and compliance with their ways.

Wrapping it all up.

In the Bible, there are many examples of men trusting in God in moments where fear could be easily experienced. But they didn’t. These men were not more human than any other human. They did not have special powers but had something available to all of those who believe in God. These men, as normal as you and me, had trust in God. They had faith that God would see them through whatever obstacle was in front of them.

In Hebrews 11:27, the author said of Moses, “By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing Him who is unseen.” By faith and not fear. You see this? Two principal aspects that are as true today as they were when Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt. We do not need to fear!

Fear of mere man is not necessary. In Matthew 10:28, Jesus tells us, commands us, to not fear man but to fear God. Why? Because He says man can only kill the body but not the soul. Another way to look at this is that no matter what a person does to you physically, emotionally, financially, etc., that person cannot take your salvation away.

I know this is easier said than done; we all know this from personal experience. But it takes faith. Even just faith the size of a mustard seed is all we need.

This world can do a lot of bad things to us. Evil people can hurt us, isolate us, turn on us, and deny us anything that is in this world. They cannot take your faith away from you, though! They cannot take Jesus away from you! Why? Because when we put our trust in Jesus, we became sealed in Him by the Holy Spirit.

Knowing this fact, then, when the world tries to scare us to do their will, our stance in Christ gives us the assurance to not fear but to trust in the plan of salvation and eternity God has emplaced through Jesus.

If anything, remember this when you face the world and what it tries to scare you with. Knowing this will make you stand out in the crowd of unbelievers who are stressing and fearing everything going on:

Psalm 118:6, “The LORD is for me; I will not fear; What can man do to me?”

Fed Rolls Out CBDC...While You Were Sleeping

 We know that it's coming.  And there can be no doubt that it has started.  Central Bank Digital Currency.  If you don't know the acronym, CBDC, you should get to know it.

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

Yesterday, with a bit of fanfare but not TOO much fanfare, a "wonderful" new product was launched. FedNow is live, and we can all transfer money to our heart's content via the Federal Reserve.

Wow, that sounds great, doesn't it? Of course, that is a spot created by the Federal Reserve and up on the Federal Reserve YouTube channel.

FedNow is live at 35 banks.

Axios reports that 35 banks across the country are participating in the launch.

By the numbers: So far, 35 banks have signed up as early adopters of FedNow, including JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo, but notably not including Citigroup or Bank of America. That number is rather lower than the Fed led us to believe as recently as recently as June.

The U.S. Treasury is also signed up as an early adopter of FedNow.

In order to use either service, both the sending and the receiving bank need to be signed up for the system.

We are now officially on that slippery slope I've been talking about. I wrote about exactly this happening in my dystopian fiction, Good Citizens, and discussed how this could evolve to control almost every aspect of our lives.

Why I'm concerned that FedNow is live

A while back, I wrote an article discussing a payment gateway designed by the Federal Reserve called FedNow. This is a way to make instant transfers between accounts, sort of like PayPal or Venmo, but without the users having to move the money from various wallets.

While it sounds convenient, the concern is that this creates the infrastructure to quickly roll out CBDCs into place. Previously, I wrote about this.

On March 15th, in the midst of the banking collapses, the Federal Reserve issued a press release detailing a new instant payment system that will be launched in July. That system is called FedNow. Here's what they said about it.

The first week of April, the Federal Reserve will begin the formal certification of participants for launch of the service. Early adopters will complete a customer testing and certification program, informed by feedback from the FedNow Pilot Program, to prepare for sending live transactions through the system.

Certification encompasses a comprehensive testing curriculum with defined expectations for operational readiness and network experience. In June, the Federal Reserve and certified participants will conduct production validation activities to confirm readiness for the July launch.

"We couldn't be more excited about the forthcoming FedNow launch, which will enable every participating financial institution, the smallest to the largest and from all corners of the country, to offer a modern instant payment solution," said Ken Montgomery, first vice president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and FedNow program executive. "With the launch drawing near, we urge financial institutions and their industry partners to move full steam ahead with preparations to join the FedNow Service."

Many early adopters have declared their intent to begin using the service in July, including a diverse mix of financial institutions of all sizes, the largest processors, and the U.S. Treasury.

This has all the hallmarks of a government strategy. First, they offer it as a "convenience" or a "safety measure." Lots of people will jump on board in order to take advantage of this.

Of course, we've heard this song before.

Next, it will be pushed harder, and those who don't adopt it will be mocked, thought of as backward, and treated with suspicion. After that, it'll be darn near impossible to do anything without it. 

Sound familiar?

The Federal Reserve Banks are developing the FedNow Service to facilitate nationwide reach of instant payment services by financial institutions -- regardless of size or geographic location -- around the clock, every day of the year. Through financial institutions participating in the FedNow Service, businesses and individuals will be able to send and receive instant payments at any time of day, and recipients will have full access to funds immediately, giving them greater flexibility to manage their money and make time-sensitive payments. Access will be provided through the Federal Reserve's FedLine(r) network, which serves more than 10,000 financial institutions directly or through their agents.

But what truly makes me worried is that since FedNow is live, this is a soft way to move us all over into using a federal money-transfer system that could easily, easily be the platform for the implementation of CBDCs, the digital dollar that could end freedom as we know it.

Please note that what we have with FedNow is NOT a CBDC. It's just a payment gateway.

But now, the early infrastructure is in place for CBDCs.

Changing a nation's entire currency is not an overnight project. If we were to go completely digital with our money, it would take a while. Several things would need to happen first:

A national financial infrastructure would need to be created that links accounts from all the banks to an information highway.

They'd need to get people comfortable with using this system and to do that, it would need to be fast and convenient. Who wouldn't want their money right away? It feels like a win to sell a car and have 20K in your account instantly without waiting for the check to clear.

This provides some time to work out any bugs. The folks adopting FedNow would be the guinea pigs. It's new, but everyone expects new stuff to be glitchy. If you're getting in on the ground floor, you're probably willing to be patient with that.

Next, they'll want to get as many people voluntarily using it as possible. Expect generous offers, outrageous convenience, and free or cheap transactions.

Once it's all in place and running smoothly, the final transition from cash money to digital money would just be a matter of the central bank devaluing our cash but allowing people to trade it for digital at full (or at least greater) value.

If you've never listened to me before, please listen to me now. This IS the road we're on. And once CBDCs are in place, especially if they are the only option, your every transaction will be monitored, data will be mined from your spending, and your choices can be controlled.

Here;  While You Were Sleeping - FedNow Goes Live Providing Path To Digital Currency (prophecynewswatch.com)

As the article goes on to point out, what if you have already flown to Arizona once this year and THEY determine that you have spent all your carbon credits burning jet fuel for your trip?  THEY can then block you from buying anymore plane tickets.

What if THEY determine that you have already bought 100 rounds of .223 cartridges for your prairie dog hunting trip and THEY say, "Due to security concerns you have already purchased enough ammunition."

We are going to be one very small step away from having to take a CBDC mark in order to buy or sell anything.

I pray that this is just one more sign that points to the soon return of Jesus....because all the signs/players/pieces required for the Great Tribulation have been put on the chess board.

Eyeball Scan Will Soon Be Required for Entire World

 What could be the impetus, the driving factor, that would make everyone want to take some kind of mark in order to buy or sell anything?  Maybe you will be more than willing to do it to prove you are human?  When AI begins to hack into bank accounts, social media and anything else it wants to, the world will very quickly have to come up with a way to prove you are human.  Scanning an eyeball while pressing your forehead against a machine could certainly be what scene John the Revelator saw in his vision and said “on the right hand or on their forehead.”  There can be no further doubt that WE are the first generation on planet earth to possess the technology to fulfill all that was written.

CEO of Company that Wants to Scan Your Irises: ‘World ID’ Is Coming ‘Whether You Like It or Not’

FROM BREIRBART NEWS: Worldcoin was co-founded by Sam Altman, who is also the CEO of OpenAI, the company behind the controversial large language model ChatGPT. The AI mogul previously stated his hopes for the technology to “break capitalism” by enabling the more efficient allocation of resources. Previous investors in Worldcoin include disgraced Crypto kingpin Sam Bankman-Fried, founder of the collapsed cryptocurrency exchange FTX.

The company uses technology that scans the irises of people around the world, data which is then use to grant access to the Worldcoin ecosystem, as well as a means of distinguishing between real people and bots.

This means that Worldcoin’s success will in part be driven by the success of AI in impersonating humans, a field that Altman’s OpenAI is also closely tied to. In recent remarks, Blania said that eventually, anyone who wants to use the internet will need to be authenticated by Worldcoin or “something like it.”

“Something like World ID will eventually exist, meaning that you will need to verify you are human on the internet, whether you like it or not,” said Blania.

Coindesk summarizes the ambitious goals of Worldcoin:

To do this, they invented a physical device called “The Orb” that can scan your eyeball. The goal is for The Orb to eventually scan every eyeball of every human who walks the Earth. And at some point, if all goes well, everyone will have access to open-source and decentralized financial tools.

If Worldcoin was the brainchild of some random crypto bro, maybe it could be laughed away as a delusion of grandeur. But the project has real intellectual heft. It was co-founded by Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI (creator of ChatGPT), who’s arguably the most central player in the development of AI. Altman suspects that the world will change forever if — or when — AI becomes so advanced that it achieves AGI, or Artificial General Intelligence, meaning it truly surpasses the abilities of humans.

Distinguishing between bots and humans is rising in importance as AI continues to change the tech industry. Using biometric data, as Worldcoin does, is one potential solution — although the challenge for the company will be overcoming privacy concerns. READ MORE.   https://www.nowtheendbegins.com/ceo-iris-scan-world-id-openai-mark-of-the-beast-666-orb/

Did the Military Make Friends With Little Green Men?

 This was on Fox News a few days ago.  The whole world seems to be talking about “aliens”.  The whole world is ripe for deception.  Bible readers know this is demonic deception.
