Most Americans Have no Clue

 What is “money”?  Over human history and cultures money has been a lot of things.  It has to be rare and has to agreed upon by everyone using it.  One island culture used rare rocks from another island as money.  The only way to get their money was to have brave men cross the ocean in dugout canoe risking their lives to get to another island and successfully bring back rocks that only existed on this far away island.  Gold and silver has been used for millennia.  But who would agree to use paper?  Paper is in limitless supply so why would anyone agree to trade paper as currency?  In America 80 years ago our Federal Reserve agreed to only print $35 of paper for every ounce of gold that the Federal Reserve owned.  But we abandoned that idea in 1972 and since then our paper money is only based on faith.  So why did .05 cents buy a Hershey Bar 80 years ago and today they cost $2.50?  Read the whole article linked below.  Here is just a piece to get you started.

Sadly, most Americans don’t even understand what the Federal Reserve is.

One thing that the Federal Reserve is NOT is a government agency.  In fact, it is about as “federal” as Federal Express.  It is a private central bank designed to make money for the people who created it.  In fact, the Federal Reserve was the culmination of an effort by the international banking elite to force a permanent private central bank on the American people that began all the way back during the days of our Founding Fathers.

But don’t just take my word for it. The following are 21 quotes about central banking from past presidents, congressmen and other notable historical figures…

#1 John Adams, the second president of the United States: “All the perplexities, confusion and distress in America arise, not from defects in their Constitution or Confederation, not from want of honor or virtue, so much as from the downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit and circulation.”

#2 James Madison: “History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and it’s issuance.”

Replacement Theology Spreads in the Church

 We don’t understand how so many churches have convinced themselves that God has replaced the Jews with the church.  We think it stems from 1900 years of Israel being gone from the world stage and people trying to read the Bible and make sense of all the Israel prophesies while under the belief that the Jews will never inhabit Israel/Promised Land again.  Another reason is Satan whispering non-stop that God is done with His covenant people.  A third reason is the misunderstanding of the phrase “God’s chosen people”, and applying it to the Jews.  Preachers today say, “they can’t be God’s chosen people any longer because they rejected Christ and aren’t chosen for salvation!”  But the correct answer is that the Jews weren’t chosen for salvation.  They were chosen to deliver us the Bible, deliver us the Messiah and to be used by God to show the world what happens to nations who bless God and obey Him and curse God and rebel.  They are CHOSEN for that…and they still are!  Watch the news and read your Bibles and you can know that Israel is at the forefront of prophecy.  God never breaks promises.  They are still His chosen people which is why Satan wants them all dead so they can’t fulfill the Bible’s final prophecies.

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

It’s becoming increasingly popular in churches today to assert that God has replaced Israel with the church. Some believe that the Lord rejected Israel, while others see the church as somehow the spiritual fulfillment of the kingdom promises made to Israel.

This teaching is often referred to as “replacement theology.” I have many problems with such teaching, starting with the words of Paul in Romans 11:1-2, “Hath God cast away his people? God forbid… God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew.” I am not sure how some get around Paul’s clear assertion in this text that God has not replaced or rejected Israel.

Besides the fact that this teaching contradicts Paul’s words in Romans 11, there is a more fundamental reason for discarding replacement theology: such teaching undermines the credibility of God.

No, I am not out of mind. Allow me to explain.

God Made Many Great Promises to Israel

Throughout the Old Testament, God made many promises to Israel based on the covenants He made with the Patriarchs.

The Lord said that the coming Messiah would one day reign on the throne of David (Isa. 9:6-7). The prophet Isaiah expanded on this theme throughout his book. A couple of chapters later, he predicted a righteous rule over the world from a future descendent of King David, undoubtedly Jesus (11:1-5; 32:1). Zechariah prophesied that one day the Lord would “be king over all the earth,” during which time the nations of the world would come to Jerusalem to worship Jesus (14:9-21).

Through the prophet Jeremiah, the Lord announced that as long as the sun gives light and the fixed order of the moon and stars remain, Israel will be a nation in His sight (49:35-40). The latter verses in this passage make it clear that this is a reference to a physical Jerusalem as the capital of this nation.

In Psalm 105:8-11, the Lord leaves no doubt as to the eternal nature of His covenant of the Land with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. While Israel’s enjoyment of the land depended upon her obedience, the promise of the Land to Israel came from an “everlasting covenant,” one that was unconditional at the time the Lord made it with Abram in Genesis 15:12-21.

God Made the Promises Knowing Israel Would Reject Jesus

Did God know about Israel’s rejection of the Messiah when He promised that “the Lord will be king over all the earth” reigning from Jerusalem (Zech. 14:9-21)? Absolutely! How could He not know?

Just two chapters earlier, the prophet Zechariah wrote this, “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn” (12:10). Before predicting Jesus’ rule over all the earth, Zechariah prophesied that the people of Israel will look upon the Savior they crucified with the result of a huge outpouring of repentance and weeping (12:10-13:1).

Do not miss this: after prophesying that the Jews would be responsible for piercing the Messiah, the Lord, through the prophet, said that one day the Messiah would rule over all the earth (Zech. 14:9).

When God promised a great kingdom to Israel, He knew the people would reject the Messiah, leading to His crucifixion. This is clear from Isaiah 53 and Psalm 22.

The Lord made all His marvelous promises to Israel, knowing full well the nation would reject His Son, which would lead to His crucifixion.

Did God Renege on His Covenant with Israel?

If God has rejected Israel or even simply replaced her, it means He did so despite knowing all about Jesus’ crucifixion when He made His kingdom promises to Israel.

Why would the Lord fill the Old Testament with promises for Israel and her kingdom if He knew they would reject His Son, which would lead to His casting them aside? Or, why would He make grand promises to Israel if He knew He would replace her? What does that say about His character?

No, God can never renege on His promises to Israel. He has not rejected her! He has not replaced here with the church! To do either of these would undermine His credibility and the very holy nature of His name.

Is this not what the Lord proclaimed in Ezekiel 36:22-23 as His key motive for restoring Israel, “Thus says the Lord God: It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations to which you came. And I will vindicate the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, and which you have profaned among them. And the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Lord God, when through you I vindicate my holiness before their eyes.”

The Lord has already begun fulfilling His words in Ezekiel 36-37. It’s all a part of His great steadfast love for Israel and the sanctity of His name as a covenant-keeping God!

He will someday fully restore the kingdom to Israel to demonstrate that He is a God who keeps His word! The Lord will also keep His promises to us. As His children, we are absolutely secure in His steadfast love!

The Lord will never renege on His promises to Israel. He will never renege on His promises to us as New Testament saints!

“May 2025 be the End of Israel!”

 When you allow Muslims to come into your country, they bring their Jew hatred with them.  When they use your nation’s freedom of speech, they end up saying the most vile of things.  Jew hatred is not going to end until Jesus returns after the Great Tribulation.  The fact that hatred of Jews is spreading from sea to shining sea is just one more sign of the nearness we are to the Great Tribulation.  Followers of Christ won’t see this as we will be with Jesus when all hell breaks loose on earth.

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

An award-winning Australian writer has called for the destruction of Israel and the “death cult of Zionism” in what was apparently meant to be a message of hope and optimism for the new year.

“May 2025 be the end of Israel. May it be the end of the US-Israeli imperial scourge on humanity. May we see the abolishment of the death cult of Zionism and the end of US empire and finally a world where the slaughter, annihilation, and torture of Palestinians is no longer daily routine,” Randa Abdel-Fattah posted on X/Twitter on Wednesday evening.

“And to achieve that,” she continued, “is to snowball collective liberation because the tentacles of Western imperialism oppress and dehumanize us all. May every baby slaughtered in Zionism’s genocide haunt you who openly support or acquiesce through your gutless silence.”

Abdel-Fattah’s tweet came in response to a social media post by the Turkish public broadcaster TRT World saying that three newborn Palestinian babies died from extreme cold in Gaza, where Israel has been fighting Hamas since the Palestinian terrorist group invaded the Jewish state on Oct. 7, 2023.

Abdel-Fattah, a lawyer and Future Fellow in the Department of Sociology at Macquarie University in Sydney, is one of Australia’s most prominent pro-Palestinian activists. She has also written 12 books, for which she has won multiple awards..

The Australian Jewish Association lambasted Abdel-Fattah for her comments, responding that “evil hate speech like this has no place in Australia.”

Trump Suggests Canada Becomes 51st State and We Buy Greenland

We have an idea that Trump says things just to troll the insane-left knowing they will go bonkers over his words.  But honestly, when it seems like all of Central America wants to come to America, why not just take over Mexico and make it the 51st, 52nd and 53rd states?  Why not offer to buy Greenland?  Why not take over Canada and make it into a few states?  Who would stop us?  The entire nation of Canada GDP is smaller than the GDP of Texas…so Trudeau is really less powerful than a U.S. Governor…which Trump points out.

President-elect Donald Trump took aim at Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal in a series of Christmas Day social media posts that suggested the United States could take control of all three.

Writing on his Truth Social platform, Trump kicked off the lengthyposts by wishing a merry Christmas to all, “including to the wonderful soldiers of China, who are lovingly, but illegally, operating the Panama Canal.”

He referred to the American lives lost during the canal's construction more than 100 years ago and added that the United States "puts in Billions of Dollars in ‘repair’ money, but will have absolutely nothing to say about ‘anything.’”

Trump then mocked Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whom he referred to as “governor," and suggested once again that the United States could annex Canada as its 51st state.

He wrote that "if Canada was to become our 51st State, their Taxes would be cut by more than 60%, their businesses would immediately double in size, and they would be militarily protected like no other Country anywhere in the World."

Trump continued his post by addressing “the people of Greenland, which is needed by the United States for National Security purposes and, who want the U.S. to be there, and we will!”

Trump said in another post that he had encouraged former professional hockey star Wayne Gretzky to run for prime minister of Canada but that Gretzky “had no interest.”

In his posts Wednesday, Trump also mocked President Joe Biden as “a man who has absolutely no idea what he is doing” and sent season’s greetings to the “radical left lunatics.”

The posts build upon a series of messages Trump has delivered in recent weeks.

Be Afraid! What Now? Volcanic Eruptions!

Just when we are being told we can’t survive global warming much longer they roll out another fear factor…global cooling!  A volcano could erupt throwing millions of tons of ash into the sky blotting out the sun!  The crops will fail and it will kill millions!  There’s nothing we can do!

Bible believers can stay joyful cuz He’s got the whole thing in His hands.

***********

 Earth faces a one-in-six chance of experiencing a massive volcanic eruption this century, scientists warn, and 'humanity has no plan to address it.' 

Such an event, according to climate professor Dr. Markus Stoffel, could trigger 'climate chaos' similar to the 1815 eruption of Indonesia's Mount Tambora. 

That eruption released 24 cubic miles of gases, dust, and rock into the atmosphere, causing global temperatures to plummet. 

Crops failed, famine spread, diseases surged, and tens of thousands of people died. 

Unlike the 'Year Without a Summer' that followed Tambora's eruption, a 21st-century mega-volcano would add to the disruptions already caused by humanity's reliance on fossil fuels. 

'The effects could be even worse than in 1815,' geological scientist Dr. Michael Rampino explained. 'The world is more unstable now.' 

Ironically, the greenhouse gases released over the past century could make the aftermath of such an eruption even colder. 

Volcanologist Dr. Thomas Aubry's research suggests that a hotter, more turbulent atmosphere would spread sulfur dioxide gas—and the cooling sulfate aerosols it forms—more quickly, intensifying the cooling effect.

Two Gay Husbands Sentenced to 100 years

When you think you’ve heard it all, a new headline comes out and you repeat Jeremiah in your head, “the heart is wicked.  Who can know it?”  In this case of two gay men who married and adopted two little boys only to sexually abuse them and post the videos for other perverts, we’re guessing they’d been “given over” already for living in perversion.  Satan them took them to a whole new level.

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

A Georgia couple that pleaded guilty in August to sexually abusing their two adopted sons will now spend 100 years in prison without the possibility of parole, according to the Alcovy Judicial Circuit District Attorney's Office.

William Zulock pleaded guilty to six counts of aggravated sodomy, three counts of aggravated child molestation, two counts of incest and two counts of sexual exploitation of children. His husband, Zachary Zulock, pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated sodomy, three counts of aggravated child molestation, two counts of incest, two counts of sodomy, three counts of sexual exploitation of children and two counts of pandering to a person under 18.

Netanyahu Will Not Attend Auschwitz Ceremony

 The leader of the Jewish State of Israel will not be allowed to attend the 80th anniversary memorial of Auschwitz because he would be arrested by Poland.  What a strange irony!  The news is filled with headlines that show the world turning on Jews and Israel.  Satan is the Prince of this world so it shouldn’t be a surprise that the world hates Jews and it should be one other sign to us all that we are near the End of the Age of grace.

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

Poland’s Deputy Foreign Minister Wladyslaw Bartoszewski confirmed on Friday that the country will arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he attends the 80th-anniversary memorial of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp on Jan. 27. This is due to an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC), accusing him of alleged war crimes in the Gaza Strip.

"We are obliged to respect the decisions of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague," Bartoszewski told the prominent Polish paper Rzeczpospolita. As a member of the ICC, Poland is formally obliged to respect the international court’s legal decisions. 

Israeli Education Minister Yoav Kisch will reportedly be the only official representative of the Jewish state at the Auschwitz memorial. ceremony. 

Approximately one million Jewish men, women and children were murdered by the Nazis in Auschwitz. 

In late November, the ICC issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and the former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant who are both formally accused of “war crimes, starvation, crimes against humanity” without providing any credible evidence. 

Israeli leaders have firmly rejected the ICC’s decision and accused it of ideological bias against the Jewish state. 

“The absurd decision of the International Criminal Court, made in bad faith, turned universal justice into a universal joke. It ridiculed the sacrifice of all those who fought for justice – from the Allied victory over the Nazis until today,” Israeli President Isaac Herzog stated. Opposition leader Yair Lapid, a vocal critic of Netanyahu, also strongly condemned the ICC by stressing that Israel is defending itself against genocidal enemies. 

The United States has also condemned and rejected the ICC’s decision against Netanyahu.

Poland is one of 27 European Union member states that is legally required under the Rome Statute to comply with decisions made by the ICC. However, the court’s decision has divided the European nations.

Pope Reminded that Jesus Lived and Died as a Jew

The evidence of Jews in the Promised Land is overwhelming and undeniable.  The same is true about Jesus being a Jew.  So when the Catholics start putting baby Jesus in an Arab scarf used by Arabs who are pro-Palestine, someone has to point out how wrong the Catholics are…again.

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

 Following several instances in recent months where Pope Francis appeared to endorse Palestinian narratives, Amichai Chikli, Israel's Minister for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism, issued a strongly worded protest letter to the Pope.

Chikli began his letter: “H.H. Pope Francis, Shalom. It is a well-known fact that Jesus was born in the city of Bethlehem, as described in Chapter 2 of the Gospel according to Matthew: ‘Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king.’”

The minister’s first argument referenced a nativity scene featuring the baby Jesus lying in a manger draped with a Palestinian keffiyeh that was showcased in St. Peter’s Square in Rome, Italy. After significant backlash, the Vatican chose to remove the display shortly later.
