Ham was a son of Noah who survived the flood and ended up dishonoring his father when he found Noah drunk. As a result Noah cursed Ham’s son, Canaan. Canaan ended up being a major enemy of the Jews called the Canaanites. Canaan also became the father of the Hittites.

Many of them believe that God will send them the heifer when He is about to allow them to build the Third Temple. The Hamas Muslims are even worried about such because they decided to invade Israel on October 7th in part to stop the heifers and Temple chatter.</p><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Titillium Web", sans-serif;"><i>Game changing developments are happening right now in Israel concerning the Third Temple.

When Israel declared independence in 1948 all those nations chased the Jews out and demanded they go to the Jewish place along the sea. They next believed that once the Jews were all there they could attack them with their armies, kill them all, drive them into the sea and take what was left.</p><p>So how crazy must you be, when Muslims say NO JEWS!, to demand that Israel accept Muslims into their society?? IN fact they call the Jews racists and bigots if they try and limit access into Israel by Muslims but NEVER point out the double standard!!</p><p>And now we have US Senators and President saying that Israel really MUST give the Muslims another terror state even though they STILL ARE HOLDING JEWISH HOSTAGES!!!!</p><p><i>While the Biden administration and the European Union were working on creating a "Palestinian" state, the real details were being fleshed out in Moscow, where the Palestinian Authority, Hamas and other terrorist groups were meeting.</i></p><p><i>The summit, convened at the Institute of Oriental Studies, once a vehicle for Soviet influence operations in the Third World, brought together Azzam al-Ahmada, a member of the PLO Executive Committee, and Mousa Abu Marzouk, a top Hamas leader, as well as a representative for Islamic Jihad, the PFLP, DFLP and other terror groups.</i></p><p><i>The goal of all these terrorists coming together was to create a "technocratic government".</i></p><p><i>What is a "technocratic government"? It's a front for the terrorists and composed of nonprofit executives, academics, economists and others who have experience dealing with the international community and extracting foreign aid from them.</i></p><p><i>Hamas will not officially be part of the puppet regime, but will control the puppets.</i></p><p><i>"I hear a lot internationally, did Hamas agree? It's none of your business," Husam Zomlot, the Palestinian Authority's ambassador to the United Kingdom told The Financial Times, adding, "About Hamas -- there are ongoing discussions... but this government is a technocratic government, it's not made of any political factions, because this is not the time for political factions."</i></p><p><i>That's what the Biden administration and the EU want to hear, but while Qatar is helping assemble a new "technocratic" front for the terrorists, the Moscow summit made it clear that the real agenda of the new government would be terror against Israel and the U.S.</i></p><p><i>The PLO-Hamas-Islamic Jihad summit in Moscow concluded with a commitment to "national unity that embraces all Palestinian forces and factions within the framework of the Palestine Liberation Organization" and laid out the main goals, beginning with "confronting Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and Jerusalem, which is carried out with the support, assistance and participation of the United States."</i></p><p><i>The only actual point of unity for the Islamic terrorist groups that met in Moscow was fighting Israel. And that will be the only mission of any regime they put into place.</i></p><p><i>According to a report from the Lebanese Al-Mayadeen, "the statement expressed support for the resilient Palestinian people and their Resistance, particularly in Gaza, the occupied West Bank, and al-Quds... and providing assistance to the families of martyrs." Translated into ordinary English, that means supporting the Hamas attacks on Israel and providing funding for the Islamic terrorists and their families.</i></p><p><i>Hamas won't be out front, but the new "technocratic government" will work for it.</i></p><p><i>"The time now is not for a government where Hamas will be part of it, because, in this case, then it will be boycotted by a number of countries, as happened before," Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki told the UN correspondents' association. "We don't want to be in a situation like that. We want to be accepted and engaging fully with the international community."</i></p><p><i>It isn't time yet for Hamas to be part of the government until the puppet regime has managed to pump the international community for money and diplomatic recognition. And the Biden administration and the EU are only too eager to provide both.</i></p><p><i>The only question is whether Hamas will be willing to go along this time. Every previous unity proposal had blown over this same issue, but this time Israel has Hamas on the ropes, and this may be the terror group's only survival strategy. In Moscow, Hamas signed on the bottom line of a unity statement endorsing the PLO as the representatives of the "Palestinian" people.</i></p><p><i>It was only appropriate since the "Palestinians" had been invented not in the Middle East, but in Moscow, under the old Soviet apparatchiks who are still running things now. They include Putin's Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov, who convened the summit. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas composed his Holocaust denial thesis while studying at Moscow's Patrice Lumumba University, which had trained a generation of third world terrorists, and Abbas allegedly worked under Bogdanov as a KGB asset using the code name "mole".</i></p><p><i>At the Moscow summit, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told the representatives of the PLO, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and half a dozen other terror groups that Abbas had "changed the government, dismissed the previous one, and began the process of selecting new technocratic ministers," which the Putin official hoped "will contribute to the intensification of the inter-Palestinian dialogue."</i></p><p><i>What the Moscow summit revealed was that the only "inter-Palestinian dialogue" would be between different terrorist groups. Whatever puppets might be out front in the "technocratic government", the actual government would be the terrorists.</i></p><p><i>The Biden administration and the rest of the international community are eager to solve the problem posed by October 7, Israel's campaign against Hamas, and the domestic Muslim outrage in the West, by doubling down on the 'two-state solution' and creating a "Palestinian" terrorist state. </i></p><p>Here; <a href="https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=6753">All Palestinian Factions Agree - A Palestinian State Will Be A Terror State (prophecynewswatch.com)</a></p><p>Remember that hundreds of millions of Muslims believe the saying, "First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people." Of course this means they will first try to conquer and control the Jews and then they will turn their full attention on conquering and controlling the Christians. And how many Democrats in power have ANY IDEA THAT THIS IS THE PLAN OF ISLAM??</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p></p>Dennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03685862430370173564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356588014812300590.post-15394975135808769222024-03-14T11:17:00.002-05:002024-03-14T11:17:38.499-05:00Senator Chuck Schumer Blasts Netanyahu<p> Senator Shumer is a Jew and he's also a leading Democrat. No big surprise that American Jews tend to be Democrats. It must have something to do with the temporary blindness that God has inflicted them with until the "fullness of the gentiles come in".</p><p>The headlines today are telling us that Senator Schumer is demanding that Israeli's have a new election and toss out Netanyahu. Who the heck does he think he is??</p><p><i>In the speech, Schumer expressed concerns that Netanyahu’s clear rejection of a two-state solution, in which Palestinians would have their own country, will mean a future of constant war and isolation for Israelis. He laid out what he describes as four main obstacles to peace and a two-state solution — the existence of Hamas and Palestinians who support the group, right-wing Israelis in government and society, and 88-year-old Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, whom he described as a “terrible” leader of Palestinians in the West Bank. The fourth obstacle was Netanyahu himself.</i></p><p><i>“He has put himself in coalition with far-right extremists like Ministers [Bezalel] Smotrich and [Itamar] Ben-Gvir, and as a result, he has been too willing to tolerate the civilian toll in Gaza, which is pushing support for Israel worldwide to historic lows,” Schumer said, referencing two of Netanyahu’s radical cabinet ministers who have called for permanently pushing Palestinians out of Gaza. <b>“Israel cannot survive if it becomes a pariah.”</b></i></p><p><i>The Senate majority leader said he understands some Israelis’ fears that a Palestinian state could make Israelis more vulnerable to attack, and lamented that more Palestinian leaders have not rejected Hamas. But he pushed both sides to reject what he called “from-the-river-to-the-sea thinking,” a reference to a slogan that often refers to one group controlling the entire territory occupied by both Palestinians and Israelis.</i></p><p><i>“The bitter reality is that a single state controlled by Israel, which they advocate, guarantees certain war forever, and further isolation of the Jewish community in the world to the extent that its future would be jeopardized,” he said.</i></p><p><i>Netanyahu’s opposition to a two-state solution and refusal to engage responsibly in a “day after” discussion of what Gaza will look like after the war disqualifies him from the position, Schumer suggested.</i></p><p><i>“The U.S. government should demand that Israel conduct itself with a future two-state solution in mind,” Schumer said. <b>“We should not be forced into a position of unequivocally supporting the actions of an Israeli government that includes bigots who reject the idea of a Palestinian state.”</b></i></p><p>Here; <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/03/14/israel-elections-netanyahu-charles-schumer/">Sen. Schumer to call for new elections in Israel in speech on Netanyahu - The Washington Post</a></p><p>We aren't sure if this type of chatter by a US Senator is actually a cursing of the Jews? He wrongly says that "Israel can't survive if it become a pariah." Clearly he is biblically illiterate because Israel's survival as a nation has NOTHING to do with what the world thinks or does and ONLY to do with what God has already said and done!</p><p>And of course he calls anyone who disagrees with him IN THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT "bigots".</p><p>It would be really interesting if Uncle Chuck suffered some type of "hand of God" discipline for sticking his nose into something that has nothing to do with him. He sits in his ivory tower, bathed in American wealth and power, and makes demands on a few millions Jews on the other side of the world who are already surrounded by millions of Muslims who dream of killing them all.</p><p>Unbelievable.</p>Dennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03685862430370173564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356588014812300590.post-55207411672132343292024-03-13T10:14:00.000-05:002024-03-13T10:14:35.851-05:00If Trump Wins, Expect Attacks Against Christians to Skyrocket<p>Folks on the Left may believe they are the peaceful protesters but in reality they are the ones who go bat-crap crazy at the slightest reason when they feel offended. They believe that Christians are Trump’s most ardent supporters, and maybe they are, and that if Trump wins it will be the Christian’s fault. They believe that a Trump election will spell the end of American democracy and they are being prepped to not accept it. Attacks on churches are already way up in the past 5 years and we could expect them to skyrocket if Trump wins. Don’t be surprised when people hate you. They hated Jesus first. But Jesus, this is America! Founded by God-fearing people!! Yep, and how quickly folks forget.

It would appear they are making plans to dominate the world and that will be really hard to do without a direct confrontation with America. So today we read about some type of massive tunnels that they are making. Maybe they realize that the future belongs to those who can survive a nuclear exchange?? What else could it be? Unlike Hamas, they aren't trying to tunnel into enemy territory, so what gives?</p><p><i>At a time when their economy is really struggling, the Chinese are increasing military spending and ramping up preparations for war. But who is China preparing to fight a war with? Needless to say, the answer to that question is obvious. </i></p><p><i>Yes, the border dispute between India and China could erupt into something significant, but that is not likely. The only other opponent that the Chinese would be fighting a major war with would be the United States. And right now, Chinese shipyards are churning out military vessels at a pace that the U.S. simply cannot match...</i></p><p><i> </i><i>The US cannot match the pace of building in the shipyards of Shanghai, which have already turned out two new aircraft carriers with a third expected to begin sea trials soon.</i></p><p><i>The latest vessel, the Fujian, features catapults to launch heavy, fixed-wing aircraft with immense bomb payloads. These shipyards are also building a new type of amphibious assault vessel, and many roll-on, roll-off ferries, which could have a dual purpose - transporting cars in peacetime, and armored assault vehicles in the event of an attack on a neighbor, such as Taiwan.</i></p><p><i>Of even greater concern is the vast network of tunnels that the Chinese have been constructing.</i></p><p><i>We are being told that this network of tunnels makes the Hamas tunnels under Gaza "look like holes scooped by children in a sandpit"...</i></p><p><i>While the West has been scaling back its military spending in favour of welfare and healthcare, China has been building artificial islands as naval bases and airfields. Less obvious but more ominous, it has also been digging a vast network of tunnels and bunkers that make the Hamas warrens in Gaza look like holes scooped by children in a sandpit.</i></p><p><i>The Chinese tunnels stretch for hundreds of miles and their plans are so closely guarded that Western intelligence agencies have little idea what is down there.</i></p><p><i>Domestic spies in the pay of the West, who have attempted to smuggle out information, have been caught and executed.</i></p><p><i>Nobody knows why China has been putting so much effort into these tunnels.</i></p><p><i>Are they anticipating that vast numbers of Chinese will need to shelter underground during an apocalyptic conflict with the United States?</i></p><p><i>In recent years, the Chinese have been feverishly upgrading and expanding their strategic nuclear arsenal...</i></p><p><i>Most alarming of all is the build-up of nuclear missiles. Throughout the Cold War, though China has been a nuclear power from the mid-1960s, its atomic arsenal was limited. </i></p><p><i>By the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the People's Liberation Army had only 30 or 40 long-range nuclear missiles - because that, it believed, was more than enough. As President Deng Xiaoping chillingly taunted American journalists: 'How many Los Angeles can you afford to lose?'</i></p><p><i>That policy has changed. More than 100 nuclear missiles with multiple warheads have already been built and armed, with production expected to exceed 500 by the end of this decade, if not sooner.</i></p><p><i>The moment the Chinese invade Taiwan, they know that it will mean war with the United States.</i></p><p><i>If that war is limited to conventional weaponry, the Chinese will win a war in Taiwan, and every war game that our leaders have conducted in recent years has shown this.</i></p><p><i>The U.S. could try to threaten China with nukes, but if China now possesses enough missiles to wipe out dozens of U.S. cities our leaders may not want to risk a nuclear confrontation.</i></p><p><i>The Chinese know that most battles are won before they are ever fought.</i></p><p><i>So they are trying to position themselves for a positive outcome before the very first missile is fired at Taiwan.</i></p><p>Here; <a href="https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=6752">China Is Actively Preparing For War With The United States (prophecynewswatch.com)</a></p><p>While America is busy trying to decide if trans-men can participate on women's sports teams and what the penalty should be for mis-gendering someone, the forces of darkness are making plans to survive a war with America.</p><p>File this under WARS AND RUMORS OF WAR</p><p><br /></p>Dennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03685862430370173564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356588014812300590.post-643815434055678792024-03-11T08:57:00.001-05:002024-03-11T08:57:05.771-05:00NPR Article Mentions Rebuilding 3rd Temple <p> The most Holy piece of land on earth is under a microscope again. Solomon built his temple there. After the Babylonian exile the Temple was rebuilt so could be called the Second Temple or most call it Herod’s Temple. This would have been the temple in place when Jesus was on earth. And now the Muslims might start freaking out as they realize there will be a 3rd Temple. How it gets built, whether or not the Antichrist is involved, whether or not the Dome of the Rock will stand next to it…nobody knows! But how interesting that an NPR article mentions “building the third temple”.</p><p>*************************</p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: NPRSerif, serif; letter-spacing: 0.02em;">Last week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said Israel would allow access to Al-Aqsa as it had in previous years – when nearly everyone was allowed – at least for the first week.

Within two years, control of the Strip was wrestled away by Hamas. Since then, Israel has suffered countless attacks, including the firing of more than 50,000 rockets at Israel, the building of a 500-mile-long underground terror tunnel infrastructure, the kidnapping of Israeli citizens, and the worst massacre in Israel’s history on Oct. 7.</p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; border: 0px solid rgb(221, 219, 217); box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 1.25rem; letter-spacing: 0.42px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem;">The massacre proved Israeli fears correct—that an independent Palestinian state would be a launchpad for continuous terror and an existential threat to the Jewish state.

How do you control an intelligence that doubles its knowledge every few days and will have read every book ever published in the entire world in the next few months? How will you control a machine who is the best computer hacker in the world? And certainly we all know that it won’t take AI very long to realize that humans are the problem behind all bad things on earth. We are the murderers, the thieves, the polluters, rapists, drug addicts, porn addicts and the folks who hold the keys to nuclear destruction. So how long before AI tries to shut off the worst offenders on planet earth, humans? And as a Bible believer, we can be quite certain that Satan and his minions will be inside the AI machines leading the way in some global plot to kill all humans.

And we already know that Hamas and the agents of Satan are watching this curious development and even credited their decision to invade Israel on October 7 because of their awareness of the red heifers.</p><p>Can this story get any stranger?? You simply can't make this stuff up!!</p><p>As the article says, most secular Jews are totally unaware of what is going on with the Temple and the red heifers...because they don't read their scriptures just like most Americans don't read their Bibles.</p><p><i>Game changing developments are happening right now in Israel concerning the Third Temple. Probably the most critical missing link preventing the rebuilding of the Temple, is set to fall into place within months with crucial help from Christians. </i></p><p><i>Meanwhile Hamas is watching the developments closely and have even claimed it to be a major part of their motivation for the heinous Oct. 7 terror attack. With tensions already at boiling point across the Middle East, will we shortly see Israel take bold steps towards rebuilding the Temple? </i></p><p><i>Christian Rancher Provides the Missing Link</i></p><p><i>The final missing piece of the Third Temple project - the infamous ashes of a red heifer - is now only months away from falling into place. Theses ashes are Biblically mandated for purification in a range of situations including contact with dead bodies (see Num. 19). </i></p><p><i>Without the red heifer ashes, priests and Levites currently in training with the Temple Institute are disqualified from serving in a future rebuilt Temple. Furthermore, with all the bloodshed on the Temple Mount down through the centuries, the Mount itself must be cleansed before the Temple can be built.</i></p><p><i>The problem is that finding an unblemished red heifer is extremely rare. In recent years, Temple activists have had their efforts end in frustration time and again. Potential red heifer candidates have been located with great excitement, only to end up later developing white hairs or getting otherwise disqualified before they reach the required age to be sacrificed. </i></p><p><i>It was in this context that Byron Stinson, a Christian rancher from Texas, baffled Rabbis in 2022 as he invited them to his ranch to inspect what turned out to be five unblemished red heifers.</i></p><p><i>What happened next sounds almost like it was taken from a Hollywood movie script as the heifers were airlifted to Israel at around 1 year old (how do you even go about flying cows to the Holy Land?). Being greeted at the airport with a special ceremony officiated by Rabbis, the heifers were then taken out of the public eye to continue being quietly and meticulously groomed for the sacrifice. </i></p><p><i>Although one of the five was disqualified last year due to the emergence of a few white hairs, the remaining four remain on track to be eligible to be sacrificed this year. According to All Israel News, Temple Institute Rabbis hope to perform this ceremony prior to Passover this year while other sources claim it will happen sometime between Passover and Pentecost. </i></p><p><i>Linking Cows and Terror</i></p><p><i>While the story of the flight of the five heifers to Israel and their subsequent journey has certainly stirred great excitement among Temple activists as well as Christian students of Bible Prophecy, it curiously hardly got a mention in mainstream Israeli news. </i></p><p><i>It will surprise many Christians to discover that by and large, secular Israelis are uninterested and unaware of these developments. In addition, many Orthodox Jews are opposed to the any current moves to rebuild the Temple as most hold that it can only be rebuilt by the Messiah in the Messianic era. </i></p><p><i>However, the radical Islamic world understands the significance of the arrival of the red heifers and are incensed by their presence. It was no co-incidence that Hamas called its infamous and deadly October 7 terror attack "Operation Al Aqsa Flood". Speaking at the 100 day mark of the current war with Israel, Abu Obeida, a military spokesman for Hamas, said that the aggression against "our path and Al-Aqsa" reached its peak with the "bringing of red cows."</i></p><p><i>Hamas' passionate calls for the 'liberation' of the Al Aqsa mosque from the Israeli threat, hits receptive ears in the Islamic world. Highlighting the broad level of Islamic concern for this site, the Organization of Islamic Co-Operation was founded in 1969 with the specific goal of protecting the Al-Aqsa mosque. Today this influential organization boasts 56 member states and is the second largest intergovernmental organization in the world after the UN.</i></p><p><i>Will there be a Third Temple?</i></p><p><i>Israeli government officials of all persuasions are highly aware of Islamic sensitivities concerning the Temple Mount and have through the years repeatedly committed themselves to maintaining the 'status quo' on the Temple Mount for this very reason.</i></p><p><i>While the ashes of a red heifer may become available in the next few months, the Temple rebuilding project still seems unrealistic in the current environment. The fears of the Israeli government leaders of sparking all out war, combined with the lack of interest and even outright opposition from many Israelis to the project, makes it seem completely impossible.</i></p><p><i>However, the events of October 7 show how quickly long-held views can change. Prior to this heinous terror attack, the majority of Israelis were seeking to get on with their lives in some kind of peaceful co-existence with Hamas being contained by Israel's state of the art border fence. The dismal failure of this high-tech fence to stop the October 7 attack has smashed this long-held Israeli view, changing the perspective of the nation overnight into a determined decision to eradicate Hamas from its borders. Similarly, I believe that long held Israeli reservations towards the Third Temple will one day change. </i></p><p><i>What does the Bible say?</i></p><p><i>'...not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord' (Zec 4:6)</i></p><p><i>Rebuilding the Temple seemed completely impossible for the impoverished Jews returning from Babylonian captivity in the days of Nehemiah. Into this context of mounting opposition from surrounding nations and countless delays, Zechariah the prophet spoke the above words of encouragement proclaiming that God Himself would make a way by His Spirit. </i></p><p><i>Through the prophecies of Zechariah and Haggai, God's Spirit indeed strengthened the hands of the builders, paved the way politically and enabled the miraculous construction of the Second Temple which stood when Jesus came to earth. Couldn't God do the same again in our day?</i></p><p><i>I believe that both Old and New Testament Bible prophecy is clear that the Temple will be rebuilt in the End times. In his famous Olivet discourse, Jesus predicted "when you see the 'abomination of desolation,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place .... then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains...For then there will be great tribulation" (Matt 24:15-21). </i></p><p><i>While some Bible prophecy teachers interpret these words of Jesus in symbolic sense, Jesus' Jewish listeners would have understood His words quite literally. They would have seen His words as referring back to an almost identical event that occurred around 170 B.C. where a literal idol was erected in the Temple leading to widespread persecution. Jesus' prophecy was therefore seen as predicting a literal repeat of these events to occur in a real physical Temple in Jerusalem at the End of Days. </i></p><p><i>Being Ready</i></p><p><i>The Temple Institute speak of the shame they would feel if they were given the go-ahead to build the Temple tomorrow and were caught completely unprepared. They have therefore spent many years in meticulous preparation and training for that day to come, and the ashes of the red heifer will mark the crowning achievement of this preparation. </i></p><p><i>While many Israelis are unaware of these developments, so too is much of the Church. Just as He promised, Jesus is soon returning to this earth to rule and these developments point us to the nearness of His coming. Following the example of the Temple Institute, we too should be preparing ourselves for the soon fulfilment of prophecy, doing everything in our power to be ready for that great day. </i></p><p><i>Let us also remember to pray not only for the fulfilment of Bible prophecy and the coming of the Messianic kingdom, but also for the eternal destinies of Jews and Arabs caught up in the current and future waves of conflict. Days of great tension lie ahead, but God's purpose in the midst of these shakings is to bring many people into His Kingdom. May we all play our part at this significant time in history. </i></p><p>Here; <a href="https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=6739">Red Heifers Ready For The Temple By Passover?

It tells the story of a woman born with no uterus. She ended up getting a uterus transplant but her body can’t get pregnant without IVF. I can already see the next article that we will post in the coming months, “Man receives uterus transplant and now carrying baby. When interviewed, the man couldn’t contain his elation. ‘I never thought I’d be able to fulfill my dream of carrying, delivering and nursing a baby! But thanks to my new uterus, my new vagina and my new mammary implants, I’m going to show the world that babies aren’t only for ladies anymore!”</p><p>Something tells me that just because medicine CAN do something doesn’t mean that God gave us the technology to make it possible.</p><p>Just because science can splice together the genes of different animals and make chimeras doesn’t mean that doing it is pleasing to God. Imagine when these purple haired freaks discover they could order an embryo that is half human and half cat so “I can finally fulfill my dreams of having a real cat-girl!” You think I’m kidding?

It turns out that the planets are all going to line up on April 4th just 4 days before The Great Eclipse!</p><p>Of course God says there will be signs in the heavens, in the sun, moon and stars. We have no idea what this could all mean but we wonder if God is saying, "Here's your sign! If you had any doubts that Jesus is coming, then here's your sign! It's never happened in history and it will never happen again!"</p><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Titillium Web", sans-serif;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">The Great American Eclipse of 2024 is truly going to be a once in a lifetime event.

Venus is visible with the naked eye, but Neptune requires a telescope or binoculars with good magnification. From the Northern Hemisphere, the conjunction will be difficult to see because the planets will be too close to the eastern horizon in the morning.

Both planets will be visible to the naked eye. Observers in the Southern Hemisphere will be able to see the planets high above the eastern horizon in the morning.

This conjunction will be better seen from the Northern Hemisphere; in the Southern Hemisphere, Jupiter and Uranus will be very low.

The apparent distance between the planets will be only 2'14" -- even the distance between Jupiter and Saturn during the Great Conjunction in 2020 was greater (6.1 arcminutes). The conjunction of Mars and Neptune will be much less spectacular, however, because Neptune is too faint to be visible to the naked eye. Grab a pair of binoculars or a telescope and look for the duo in the east in the morning.

One would expect that the more Democrats you find in any one area will coincide with a more Godless population. They may disagree with this if you confront them on the topic and may say something like, “we don’t need a building to be spiritual. And as long as you’re spiritual then you are going to be a pretty good person.” The sad fact is that America is turning Left and denying that God had anything to do with making this nation great and that our liberties and freedom are given to us by God and not by failed men. As the Democrats deny this and gain more votes from their Godless constituents and are elected to more seats and exert more power, America will cease to be great. The writing is on the wall. And yet so sad to watch.</p><p>*************************</p><p><span style="font-family: neuton, Georgia, serif;">Americans have grown less religious over the past couple of decades, and attendance at religious services is down across the country. Of course, some parts of the country are a lot less religious than others. New survey data shows Seattle is one of those places.</span></p><p style="background: 0px 0px repeat; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: neuton, Georgia, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.7em !important; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.7em !important; margin: 0.7em 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">A clear majority of adults in the Seattle area — around 64% — never attend church or religious services, or go less than once a year. That pencils out to about 1.98 million people out of the total 3.1 million population aged 18 and older in the metro area, which includes King, Pierce and Snohomish counties.</p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: neuton, Georgia, serif;">The data comes from the ongoing Household Pulse Survey, a product of the U.S. Census Bureau. The question on religious-service attendance is a new addition to the survey, which was conducted from Jan. 9 to Feb. 5 and had about 68,500 respondents nationwide.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: neuton, Georgia, serif;">The survey includes data from all 50 states plus the nation’s 15 largest metro areas, including Seattle. And among those 15, Seattle ranked the least religious, edging out San Francisco, where 63% never attend religious services, or go less than once a year. Boston was a distant third at 56%.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: neuton, Georgia, serif;">The southern parts of the U.S. tend to be more religious, so it’s not surprising to see three Sunbelt cities with the lowest share of nonreligious residents among large metros. In Dallas, 40.5% never attend a service or go less than once a year. Houston and Atlanta were just a little higher.</span></p><p style="background: 0px 0px repeat; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: neuton, Georgia, serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.7em !important; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.7em !important; margin: 0.7em 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">What may be surprising to folks in the Seattle area, though, is that the rest of Washington is nearly as nonreligious as Seattle. Statewide, 63% never or almost never attend religious services, just 1 percentage point lower than the number for the Seattle area.</p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: neuton, Georgia, serif;">Washington ranked as the fifth least-religious state. Maine and Vermont were at the top, both at around 69%, followed by Oregon (65%) and New Hampshire (64%). Mississippi had the lowest share of nonreligious people, with only 30% never or almost never attending services.</span></p><p><a href="https://americanmilitarynews.com/2024/03/seattle-is-the-least-religious-large-metro-area-in-the-us/">https://americanmilitarynews.com/2024/03/seattle-is-the-least-religious-large-metro-area-in-the-us/</a></p>Dennishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03685862430370173564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356588014812300590.post-73444534766631310942024-03-03T19:34:00.001-06:002024-03-03T19:34:24.937-06:00Wharton Business Prof Says Financial Turmoil Coming<p>We know it’s coming…we just don’t know when.

Do these ultra-rich folks know something the rest of the world doesn’t? Do they have fortune tellers who are summoning evil forces in the heavenly realms to tell them to “prepare for chaos the likes of which the world has never seen”? Of course Bible readers don’t need fortune tellers or shamans because we can read and believe the Living Word of God. We know that the world can’t continue on its current trajectory too much longer. We also know that Jesus is going to come for his Bride because there is no wrath due her. Jesus took the wrath of God on our behalf! That’s the Gospel message!</p><p>But after we are gone and the restraining force of the Holy Spirit is removed, the wrath of God will be unleashed on earth. It will ultimately get so bad that if Jesus didn’t return to earth to put an end to the chaos, “no flesh would survive”. When Jesus returns as judge the rich people will beg the mountains (or their bunkers)to fall on them to protect them from the wrath of the Lamb.</p><p>*************************</p><blockquote style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; border-color: currentcolor currentcolor currentcolor rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05); border-image: none; border-style: none none none solid; border-width: 0px 0px 0px 5px; caret-color: rgb(58, 58, 58); color: #3a3a3a; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 1.2em; font-style: italic; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 20px; position: relative; quotes: "" "";"><p style="border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px;">Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan, co-founder and co-CEO of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, plan to build a 5,000-square-foot underground shelter on their Hawaii ranch with its own energy and food supplies, according to a Wired investigation published earlier this month.</p><p style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The plan is that the shelter’s door will be made of metal and filled in with concrete—common in bunkers and bomb shelters, the news outlet reported in its extensive article citing planning documents and interviews.</p></blockquote><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; border: 0px; caret-color: rgb(58, 58, 58); color: #3a3a3a; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px;">So why is Zuckerberg going to such effort?</p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; border: 0px; caret-color: rgb(58, 58, 58); color: #3a3a3a; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px;">Does he know something that the rest of us do not?</p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; border: 0px; caret-color: rgb(58, 58, 58); color: #3a3a3a; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px;">Yes, it is true that Zuckerberg has always been more than a little bit eccentric.</p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(58, 58, 58); color: #3a3a3a; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 17px;">But many other ultra-wealthy individuals are also preparing for doom.

So how does a 25 yr old white kid from America get to the point where he feels it’s a noble cause to burn himself to death while screaming “free Palestine!” Of course Bible readers know. It’s the work of the evil one. Today he has harvested one more lost soul for all of eternity. If that’s not tragic enough, read the rest of this article and realize that the Pro Hamas Fifth Column in America is getting ready to kill Americans to accomplish their purposes.</p><p>*********************</p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(6, 33, 53); color: #062135; font-family: minion-pro, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">“If your heart is broken by the horrors in Gaza and you are prepared to bear significant consequences to try to stop them, we urge you to do everything in your power to find comrades and make plans collectively,” the site exhorts. “Lay the foundations for a full life of resistance to colonialism and all forms of oppression.

It is an open question of what could accomplish that. Aaron’s action challenges us to answer this question—and to answer it differently than he did.”</p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(6, 33, 53); color: #062135; font-family: minion-pro, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin-block: 0px 0.9rem;">The site is careful about its rhetoric to the point of esoteric writing, but there is a small indication of what it means by “differently.” It states, “If nothing else, Aaron’s action shows that genocide cannot take place overseas without collateral damage on this side of the ocean.”</p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(6, 33, 53); color: #062135; font-family: minion-pro, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin-block: 0px 0.9rem;"><br /></p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(6, 33, 53); color: #062135; font-family: minion-pro, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin-block: 0px 0.9rem;">It is quite clear what “collateral damage” means in this context: dead people. Such dead people will be produced, the site forthrightly states, “differently.” That is, they will not be produced by suicide. People will be murdered.</p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(6, 33, 53); color: #062135; font-family: minion-pro, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin-block: 0px 0.9rem;">I do not think it is an exaggeration to say that the implications of this are fairly obvious: The pro-Hamas fifth column in the U.S. intends to kill people. Given the atrocities of the current moment, it is impossible to imagine that most if not all of those people will be Jews. It seems that however careful they may be about saying so, the death cultists in the U.S. intend to imitate their fellow death cultists in Gaza. The death drive will seek to sate itself on American Jews as it did on Israeli Jews.

So let’s say this girl was denied the right to purchase a gun, couldn’t she have killed herself by hanging, taking an overdose of pills, carbon monoxide poisoning in her own car or 20 other ways to kill your self?
