Arrested for Your Thoughts

 Great Britain is further down the road to destruction than America is.  They rejected Jesus years before we did.  They let Muslims into their country and they allowed the Left to take control sooner than we did.  The result is pretty concerning.  Read on.

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

In a moment reminiscent of George Orwell’s, 1984, yesterday marked a watershed moment for free thought in the United Kingdom. British Army veteran Adam Smith-Connor made history as the first person convicted for thinking the wrong thing in the wrong place.

This ruling comes almost two years after Smith-Connor was approached by Bournemouth police under suspicion of violating a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) in November 2022. Although he had not spoken to anyone and stood behind a tree facing away from an abortion facility as he prayed, Smith-Connor was charged under section 4a of the PSPO for “engaging in an act of approval/disapproval with respect to issues related to abortion services.” These acts include any type of protest through “graphic, verbal or written means, prayer or counseling.”

In the video recorded by Smith-Connor during the confrontation, he informed the police that he was “praying for his deceased son.” Smith-Connor elaborated on his reasons for praying by sharing the following with ADF UK:

“22 years ago I drove my ex-girlfriend to a facility and paid for her to have an abortion. It was a pivotal moment in my life. The consequences of my actions that day came back to grieve me years later, when I realized I had lost my son Jacob to an abortion I had paid for.”

He continued, “I would never have imagined being in a position to risk a criminal record for praying silently. In the past, I assisted with abortions in hospital as part of my army medical training, but now I pray for those who perform abortions because I realize how harmful abortion is to women and families, and that every single human life is valuable—no matter how small. Most of all, I’m moved to pray because of what happened to my son, Jacob.”

In addition to ordering the father of two to pay prosecution costs of £9,000 ($11,700 USD), the court issued Smith-Connor a two-year conditional discharge. This means that if he is convicted of any further offenses within that period, he will face sentencing.

In response to yesterday’s ruling, Smith-Connor said, “I served for 20 years in the army reserves, including a tour in Afghanistan, to protect the fundamental freedoms that this country is built upon. I continue that spirit of service as a healthcare professional and church volunteer. It troubles me greatly to see our freedoms eroded to the extent that thought-crimes are now being prosecuted in the U.K.”

One Step Closer to 3rd Temple

Pretty amazing to be alive today and watch all the prophecy begin to unroll right in front of our eyes.  Other generations longed to see and understand, but we seem to be the generation to see all the signs of the pending 70th Week of Daniel and Great Tribulation.

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

The Temple Institute announced a remarkable development that brought Israel one step closer to the Third Temple. For the first time since the Temple stood in Jerusalem 2,000 years ago, a kohen (male descendant of Biblical Aaron the High Priest) ascended to the Temple Mount wearing the Biblically mandated Kohanic garments. While on the mount, the Kohen joined in a prayer quorum and gave the priestly blessing to those gathered. 

The Temple Institute prepared the garments in preparation for the return of the Temple service.

This impressive feat was accomplished despite the numerous extra-legal restrictions placed on Jews at the site.  There is no law preventing Jews from praying on the Temple Mount, and the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Jewish prayer several times. Jews do pray at the site in inconspicuous manners and out of sight from the Arabs, but the police frequently prevent this from happening. On Tuesday, Jews prayed freely in minyanim (quorums of ten).  

On the first day of Rosh Hashanah, a group of Jews smuggled shofarot (ritual rams’ horns) onto the Temple Mount and, despite police efforts to stop them, blew all of the requisite shofar blasts for the holiday. Jews have recently begun performing the commandment of prostrating themselves on the stones of the Temple. In June, a Jewish man wore tefillin (phylacteries) at the site. 

In August, the Biden State Department issued a statement condemning Jewish prayer at the site.

I'm Actually Clapping for President Biden Today!

 Check out this Whitehouse Statement that came out today!

Early this morning, Israeli authorities informed my national security team that a mission they conducted in Gaza likely killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.  DNA tests have now confirmed that Sinwar is dead.  This is a good day for Israel, for the United States, and for the world. 

As the leader of the terrorist group Hamas, Sinwar was responsible for the deaths of thousands of Israelis, Palestinians, Americans, and citizens from over 30 countries.  He was the mastermind of the October 7th massacres, rapes, and kidnappings.  It was on his orders that Hamas terrorists invaded Israel to intentionally – and with unspeakable savagery – kill and massacre civilians, a Holocaust survivor, children in front of their parents, and parents in front of their children. 

Over 1,200 people were killed on that day, the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust, including 46 Americans.  More than 250 were taken hostage, with 101 still missing. That number includes seven Americans, four of whom are believed to still be alive and held by Hamas terrorists.  Sinwar is the man most responsible for this, and for so much of what followed.  

Shortly after the October 7 massacres, I directed Special Operations personnel and our intelligence professionals to work side-by-side with their Israeli counterparts to help locate and track Sinwar and other Hamas leaders hiding in Gaza. 

With our intelligence help, the IDF relentlessly pursued Hamas’s leaders, flushing them out of their hiding places and forcing them onto the run.  There has rarely been a military campaign like this, with Hamas leaders living and moving through hundreds of miles of tunnels, organized in multiple stories underground, determined to protect themselves with no care for the civilians suffering above ground.  Today, however, proves once again that no terrorists anywhere in the world can escape justice, no matter how long it takes.

To my Israeli friends, this is no doubt a day of relief and reminiscence, similar to the scenes witnessed throughout the United States after President Obama ordered the raid to kill Osama Bin Laden in 2011.

Israel has had every right to eliminate the leadership and military structure of Hamas. Hamas is no longer capable of carrying out another October 7.

I will be speaking soon with Prime Minister Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders to congratulate them, to discuss the pathway for bringing the hostages home to their families, and for ending this war once and for all, which has caused so much devastation to innocent people.  

There is now the opportunity for a “day after” in Gaza without Hamas in power, and for a political settlement that provides a better future for Israelis and Palestinians alike.  Yahya Sinwar was an insurmountable obstacle to achieving all of those goals. That obstacle no longer exists. But much work remains before us.

Here;  Statement from President Joe Biden on the Death of Yahya Sinwar | The White House

America can still be a blessing to Israel!  But beware of what happens when all of Hamas is dead and America starts drawing up plans for another Arab nation and demanding that Jews divide THEIR LAND to accomplish it.

Remember, Jordan was the land given to Arabs and was everything WEST of the Jordan River.  The Jews of Israel were to get everything EAST.  And now, the Arabs have cried about it for the last hundred years and even invented a new people group;  The Palestinians!  And the world has fallen for the lie.

THERE's NO SUCH THING AS PALESTINIANS!!  They are just Arabs.  No king, no history, ho monetary system, nothing that would ever show they are a special people group who need special protection.  But none of the Arab nations are willing to take them.  Why???

It's a great question which has something to do with how Satan hates Jews so does his best to make the world hate Jews.

US Bombers are Now Bombing Yemen

 It would sure seem we are taking some further steps toward WWIII.

I'm not saying I wouldn't do the same thing as President to stand against these crazy Houthi terrorists of Yemen who are funded by Iran who is most likely still spending the windfall $billions that Obama made sure they got.

But if USA starts killing Muslim terrorists in Yemen, we just expanded our battlefield.

Also remember that USA doesn't currently have a massive war chest of money to drop $billions of missiles and arm the world's missile defense.  Our only choice is to try and sell more US Treasury bonds to other suckers in hopes that our "faith and confidence" will support the US Dollar for a while longer.

U.S. B-2 bombers attacked weapons caches belonging to Houthi rebels in Yemen and Israel claimed it had killed the top Hamas leader as multiple conflicts involving Iran-backed militant groups heated up Thursday.

The attack on Houthi weapons appears to be the first such use of the strategic stealth bomber against the militia. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a statement the operation late Wednesday was ordered by President Joe Biden to "further degrade" the Houthis' ability to launch attacks on commercial and military ships in the Red Sea. The strikes could also be a warning to Iran at a time when Tehran and U.S. ally Israel have appeared on the verge of a full-blown war.

Austin did not mention Iran by name. However, he said the use of the B-2 bomber, which is the only warplane in the U.S. arsenal that can carry 30,000-pound so-called bunker busting bombs, "was a unique demonstration of the United States' ability to target facilities that our adversaries seek to keep out of reach, no matter how deeply buried underground, hardened or fortified. The employment of U.S. Air Force B-2 Spirit long-range stealth bombers demonstrates U.S. global strike capabilities to take action against these targets when necessary, anytime, anywhere."

Sinwar Killed

 The leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah have to be living deep in a bunker looking at every single shadow or person they come in contact with.  Israel just keeps picking off anyone of them, anywhere and anytime.

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip, Israel Foreign Minister Israel Katz said Thursday.

Sinwar has been credited as the mastermind behind the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel that led to the deaths of 1,200 people, the worst terrorist attack in Israel's history.

"The master murderer Yahya Sinwar, who is responsible for the massacre and atrocities of October 7, was killed" by Israel Defense Forces soldiers, Katz said in a statement. "This is a great military and moral achievement for Israel and a victory for the entire free world against the evil axis of extreme Islam led by Iran."

What a nasty fellow!  I'm going to guess he isn't drinking wine while cavorting with 72 virgin women right now.  Muhammad, inspired by Satan, fed those folks a load of lies and they took them hook, line and sinker.

Another "First Time in Human History"

 What's it about today?  Well today we are learning from a CNN article that human activity has thrown off the entire world's global water supply!

Seriously, if Artificial Intelligence reads all the articles on how bad mankind is for Mother Nature, for all the wars, murders, rapes, kidnapping...it won't take long for AI to realize that mankind is the PROBLEM OF EVERYTHING!

Humanity has thrown the global water cycle off balance “for the first time in human history,” fueling a growing water disaster that will wreak havoc on economies, food production and lives, according to a landmark new report.

Decades of destructive land use and water mismanagement have collided with the human-caused climate crisis to put “unprecedented stress” on the global water cycle, said the report published Wednesday by the Global Commission on the Economics of Water, a group of international leaders and experts.

The water cycle refers to the complex system by which water moves around the Earth. Water evaporates from the ground — including from lakes, rivers and plants — and rises into the atmosphere, forming large rivers of water vapor able to travel long distances, before cooling, condensing and eventually falling back to the ground as rain or snow.

Disruptions to the water cycle are already causing suffering. Nearly 3 billion people face water scarcity. Crops are shriveling and cities are sinking as the groundwater beneath them dries out.

The consequences will be even more catastrophic without urgent action. The water crisis threatens more than 50% of global food production and risks shaving an average of 8% off countries’ GDPs by 2050, with much higher losses of up to 15% projected in low-income countries, the report found.

“For the first time in human history, we are pushing the global water cycle out of balance,” said Johan Rockström, co-chair of the Global Commission on the Economics of Water and a report author. “Precipitation, the source of all freshwater, can no longer be relied upon.”

Here:  The system that moves water around the Earth is off balance for the first time in human history | CNN

We don't argue that sinful humans are causing lots and lots of problems on planet earth.  No doubt forests are cleared to make way for farm land...but what are 8 billion people going to eat if farmers have little land to farm.  No doubt forests have been cleared and swamps drained to make cities and towns for people to live in!  But where are 8 billion people supposed to live?  In tents in the woods??  They'd all have to burn fires to keep warm and then with billions of fires going on every night they would still cause so much global warming that CNN would still be publishing an article about it.

This world is groaning for it's redemption.  Jesus is close.  The curse will  be lifted for 1000 years and the earth will enjoy it's Sabbath day of rest.  After that the entire world will be burned up and a new heavens and a new earth will be our future.  So don't panic about the headlines.  Jesus has it all under control.

Why do Democrats Love Abortion?

 It’s amazing and sad to watch all the Democrat commercials as Election Day nears.  It seems the single most important topic they are running on is keeping abortion legal up to birth in all 50 states.  The idea of dismembering and killing a human baby in it’s mother’s womb doesn’t register as wrong or evil, no, it registers in their deluded brains as “the most important right that women have.”

We already know that most Democrat voters do not believe in the authority of scripture.  And probably most haven’t fully surrendered to Jesus while repenting of their sins.  So their delusion really shouldn’t surprise us.  What do you expect the unsaved to behave like?

But when you do get into a debate with a Democrat about abortion, just remember that Jesus silenced Satan by quoting scripture so memorize this one as your go-to verse for why you are pro-life.  There is no doubt that God knows his children in their mother’s womb.

Isaiah 49:1

Before I was born the Lord called me;  from my mother’s womb he has spoken my name.

Pope Meets With LGBTQ

 The Pope sure keeps making the news.  A few weeks ago we see that he says there are many ways to God...and NOT just Jesus.  But we know that Catholics have been praying to dead people forever, so maybe that wasn't a total surprise but today we read that he's cuddling up to folks in the LGBTQ arena.

He certainly seems to be pushing for the ONE WORLD RELIGION where everyone can do as they want, pray as they want, just so long as they're spiritual and behave as "good people."  This is exactly what the WORLD wants!

Pope Francis met today with a diverse group of transgender, intersex, and ally Catholics, including a medical doctor who provides gender transition care. The group urged Pope Francis to move past the Church’s negative approach to gender-diverse people, and to encourage Church leaders to listen more attentively to the lives and faith of LGBTQ+ people.

The nearly 90-minute meeting was arranged by Sister Jeannine Gramick, SL, a U.S. nun who has ministered with LGBTQ+ people and their families for more than 50 years. The visit was sponsored by New Ways Ministry, a national Catholic outreach to the LGBTQ+ community, which Sister Gramick co-founded in 1977 with the late Fr. Robert Nugent, SDS.

Five of the group of 11 Catholics who met with the pope shared their testimonies with him, including:

Nicole Santamaria, an intersex woman from El Salvador who immigrated to the United States because of death threats.

Michael Sennett, a transgender man and a theology graduate student, who has been involved with church ministry for many years.

Deacon Raymond and Laurie Dever, pastoral ministers who are the parents of a transgender daughter, whose difficult transition led to a suicide attempt.

Dr. Cynthia Herrick, a medical doctor specializing in endocrinology and a co-director of a gender medicine clinic.

Of course we don't condone gay people being killed or trans people being tortured and tormented by other people.  But we do want everybody to repent and accept Christ as the ONLY way to salvation.

  Telling people that everyone is OK and that they can keep living their confused and sin-filled lives is NOT the message of the Gospel.

So the Pope continues pushing for the role of FALSE PROPHET.  He's the dude who will join with the Antichrist in gathering people to a ONE-WORLD-RELIGION.  And this will all happen AFTER the rapture...so it's one more sign of the nearness of that day.

Global Public Debt to Exceed $100,000,000,000,000

Who holds all this debt?  What happens when people start getting late on payments?  What happens when citizens are in poor financial health and demand that the government take care of their needs?  The government is then forced to borrow more money by selling more debt.  What happens when the government can’t pay the interest on its own debt without borrowing more money to do it?  The whole Ponzi scheme starts to explode.

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

 WASHINGTON, Oct 15 (Reuters) - The world's total public debt is set to exceed $100 trillion this year for the first time, and may grow more quickly than forecast as political sentiment favors higher spending and slow growth amplifies borrowing needs and costs, the International Monetary Fund said on Tuesday.

The IMF's latest Fiscal Monitor report showed global public debt will reach 93% of global gross domestic product by the end of 2024 and approach 100% by 2030. That would exceed its 99% peak during COVID-19. It would also be up 10 percentage points from 2019, before the pandemic exploded government spending.

Hamas Admits 80% of Casualties Are Terrorists

As we expected….

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

 Recent reports from Israel’s Channel 12 indicate that Hamas privately acknowledged that approximately 80% of the casualties from the war against Israel were affiliated with the organization or are their family members. This revelation casts doubt on claims made by the Biden administration and the United Nations concerning civilian deaths.

Hamas has claimed that the total death toll in Gaza has reached around 40,000. However, it is crucial to note that the group does not differentiate between terrorists and civilian casualties in its figures, raising questions about the accuracy and reliability of this data. The Ministry of Health in Gaza, which operates under Hamas, reports that nearly 40% of those killed are adult males aged 18 to 59, a demographic that includes combatants.

Turkey Calls for Ezekiel 38 Alliance

We’ve got the mother load of prophetic stuff here!  Russia, Iran and Turkey alliance, Damascus mentioned and Turkey wants Muslim nations to attack Israel…again.

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

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoǧa told local media on Saturday that Russia, Iran and Syria should do more to protect Syria’s “territorial integrity.” 

“It is essential that Russia, Iran and Syria take more effective measures against this situation, which poses the greatest threat to Syria’s territorial integrity,” Erdoǧan said when asked about the recent alleged Israeli airstrike in the nation's capital, Damascus. 

“We must be very strong so that Israel can’t do these things to Palestine,” Erdoğa said in his speech. “Just as we entered [Nagorno-] Karabakh, just as we entered Libya, we might do the same to them. There is nothing we cannot do. Only we must be strong.” 

The Turkish leader has also called for an “alliance of Islamic countries” to stop “Israeli arrogance.” 

Notably, some bible researchers have identified an alliance of Russia, Iran and Turkey as being the fulfillment of biblical prophecy, especially the War of Gog and Magog from Ezekiel 38.

“Human Life expectancy Won’t Increase By Much More”

 This article, and the “experts” they quote has to have God laughing at the folly of men and their thinking.  

A day is coming, way sooner than most people think, where if someone dies at age 100 they will be considered just a young child.  That day will be during the millennial reign of Christ.

And to say that humans simply weren’t made to live past 30-60 years is a massive joke considering that God made the first man, Adam, and he lived over 900 years!  

No doubt something happened on earth at the flood because people born after the flood could still live a long life, but went from 900 years down to 175 for Abraham.  And if you read the genealogy table after the flood it becomes obvious.

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

Olshansky explained that humans were not made to live as long as they do now, as the natural life expectancy for humans is 30 to 60 years.

"This means the vast majority of the population that now lives past age 60 is living on survival time that was manufactured by medicine," he said. "The power of medicine to extend human life is extraordinary."
