California City Looks to Legalize Polygamy

As we approach the Great Tribulation, which begins after the Antichrist goes into the 3rd Temple, we can expect the world to turn ever more godless with each passing day.  Today we read about another attack on God’s plan for mankind.  “We want to marry multiple people at the same time!  Who made the rule I can only have one wife??”

The article also references an earlier news story about a pastor in Ohio introducing his 2nd wife to the congregation.

 The battle over marriage just reached an entirely new level. (Image via Pixabay)

West Hollywood, California, has unanimously approved an ordinance allowing polyamorous relationships involving three or more adults to receive official recognition as domestic partnerships, further challenging the traditional and Biblical definition of marriage and family.

According to the New York Post, the City Council voted in favor of the measure, which allows qualifying relationships to receive different rights, including hospital visitation rights and housing safeguards.

While secular governments continue expanding their definitions of family, an even more alarming question is emerging: Why are some churches beginning to do the same?

As Charisma previously reported, Ohio pastor Israel Ford of LifeWorks Church recently made headlines after his wife, Lydia, introduced Shakayla Ford to their congregation as his second wife.

Ford has defended his arrangement while challenging the traditional Christian understanding of monogamous marriage.

Let that sink in. A pastor, entrusted with shepherding God's people and proclaiming His Word, is publicly defending a relationship that contradicts the Biblical standard for marriage upheld by historic Christianity.

Communists, Socialists and Islamists Are Coming to Power in America But God is Still on Throne

It’s tragic that we are witnessing the fall of America.  But what does this mean in the light of eternity??  

Nothing.

God already knew that the godless, perverts and Muslims were going to win.  He knew it before He brought the first pilgrims to America.  We deserve judgment.  And how does that start?  By putting leaders in power who have NO FEAR OF THE LORD.  Their thinking is foolish and futile.  They can’t tell the difference between male and female.  They pretend that babies aren’t really humans as long as they stay a few inches from birth.  They hate America and want it torn down.

So what do we do now?  Keep praying for America and its leaders.  God can use anyone!  He used Nebuchadnezzar so I think He can deal with a few delusional Democrats.

Also remember that Jesus is coming!   All of this news just moves us one step closer to setting the stage for the Antichrist.  And we all know that when we see the decorations go up for Christmas that Thanksgiving is near.

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

 We woke up yesterday morning to a very different America. We heard a lot about a coming blue wave, but the results of Tuesday’s midterm elections were more like a blue tsunami.

Where to begin? Democrats flipped both the House and Senate by large margins, and now also control a majority of the nation’s governorships.

Those tight Senate races everyone was watching in Michigan and Texas? In the end, they weren’t so tight after all. Abdul El-Sayed, a notorious Israel-basher with family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, will now sit in the U.S. Senate after defeating Republican Mike Rogers by 7 percentage points.

Texas may be an even bigger shocker. Democrats swept races in a state that had been a Republican stronghold for decades. Incumbent Governor Greg Abbott lost to Democrat Gina Hinojosa by at least 7 points. James Tallarico’s declarations that God is “non-binary” and that there are “six genders” didn’t seem to hurt him with voters. He trounced Republican Ken Paxton by some 12 percentage points. Throughout the Lone Star State, Democrats made significant gains, and we can now say Texas, the second-largest state in the union, has flipped blue.

And it’s not alone.

In Iowa and Ohio, both reliably red states, Democrats picked up the governorship and seats in the U.S. Senate. Seven Senate seats in all flipped to Democrats, including South Carolina and Kansas, and Democrats now have a 10-seat majority in the upper chamber. In the House, it was even worse for Republicans. Democrats flipped some 25 seats and now have a large majority there as well.

The good news for Republicans is that they did hold Florida, where Byron Donalds was elected the state’s first African-American governor, and Ashley Moody barely turned back socialist Angie Nixon.

All in all, an absolute debacle for Republicans. There is no way to sugarcoat it.

How did it happen? Exit polls showed that many voters were upset by the Iran war and the price of gas.

In my view, that’s an issue that could have been avoided if President Trump had only finished the job in Iran back in April, but the president made the absolute right call to destroy Iran’s nuclear weapons program. The world’s number one state sponsor of terrorism was on the verge of acquiring the world’s deadliest weapons. Trump realized that a nuclear bomb in the hands of Islamic fanatics who are sworn to our destruction was a clear and present danger to the United States.

He had the courage and moral clarity to act, knowing there may be political fallout in an election year. In the long run, history—our kids and grandkids—will judge him kindly for it, but he made a big mistake in stopping short and not finishing the job after dealing crushing blows to Iran’s regime early on. We entered into a seemingly endless cycle of talking to the regime, then bombing, then pausing, then more talks. All the while, it was obvious that Iran’s fanatical leaders had no intention of agreeing to any credible deal with the United States. As a result, the war dragged on for months right into the midterms, and gas prices remained high.

I’ve been saying it here since April: Mr. President, you made the right call. Now finish the job in Iran.

We will see what effect yesterday’s results have on that going forward, but there are a few other takeaways.

Our American electorate can now be described as politically schizophrenic. The past 20 years have seen wild swings in practically every election cycle, from the presidency on down. In 2024, Republicans won the presidency, the House, the Senate, and a majority of governorships. Now, just two years later, that’s all been flipped on its head. We have now entered an unprecedented moment in American history, where literal socialists and radical Islamists who hold views that are inherently hostile to our country will now sit in the U.S. Congress.

Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan is one of them. Consider his acceptance speech from last night: “Michigan, we did it! My name is Abdul Rahman Muhammad El-Sayed. And I am so proud and honored to stand here as your senator-elect from the great state of Michigan. Up until right about now, you might have noticed I always say, inshallah, or Allah willing, whenever the outcome of this race was mentioned. But today, tonight, we can turn that inshallah into alhamdulillah. Donald, look, I know you struggled with my name. So after J.D. swears me in January, you can just go on and call me senator.”

He is riding high now. He and his fellow Democrats will undoubtedly use their newfound power to obstruct President Trump at every turn. Impeachment and investigations—it’s all on the table. They have been telling us their plans openly. Fasten your seatbelts. I hope people realize what they voted for.

Now, at the end of the day, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and even Ronald Reagan all suffered big midterm election setbacks. Republicans are not out, but it is a very tough moment, no doubt, as we look ahead to 2028.

Isn’t it good to know that through it all, God is still on the throne? He’s in control, even when everything seems to be falling apart. It’s time to pray for our nation like never before.

There Will Be a Famine of Hearing and Knowing God’s Word

Certainly we are in the very Last Days.  

God is clear that He sets up and tears down nations.  He tears them down because they refuse to listen.  And how do we listen to God today?  Through reading and knowing His Word and by prayer.

So what percentage of Americans would you guess spent any time on any given day, reading the Bible, studying the Bible and praying to their Heavenly Father?  What percentage do you think would say “Yes, I fear the Lord and live my life respecting Him and knowing one day I will answer to him.”  5% of Americans?  A little more or a little less?

Well certainly the Americans who go to church regularly know their Bibles!?

Ummmm….no.

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

Imagine walking into church this Sunday, sitting through worship, listening to the sermon, and then being handed a basic Bible knowledge test. Would you pass?

 According to a troubling new study from Lifeway Research, nearly two-thirds of American churchgoers would not.

The research, involving more than 2,000 Christian churchgoers, found that 65% scored below 60% on a Bible literacy quiz. The average score was just 51%. Only 9% earned an A, while another 8% managed a B.

These were not questions designed to stump seminary professors. They covered foundational biblical knowledge: important people, familiar events, books of the Bible, well-known verses, and basic teachings of Scripture.

The findings raise an uncomfortable question: How did a nation filled with churches, Christian books, Bible apps, podcasts, and religious programming produce so many Christians who barely know their own Bible?

And perhaps more importantly, what happens to the Church when biblical ignorance becomes normal?

The Numbers Reveal A Troubling Reality

Some of the individual findings are particularly revealing.

While 94% correctly identified Moses as the man who received the Ten Commandments, only 45% knew Saul was Israel's first king. Nearly one-third incorrectly chose David.

Only 11% could correctly arrange four significant Old Testament events in chronological order.

More concerning, nearly half of churchgoers failed to recognize that the familiar saying "God helps those who help themselves" is not found in Scripture.

The Battle Inside Today’s Churches

 It’s sad, and even tragic, that you can tell how Biblically solid a church is today by simply finding out their thoughts on Israel.  If they preach that Israel WAS something important a long time ago but that now they are just another nation, then you can be certain that they have lots of other doctrine out of place too.

When you drive by a Methodist church and see the big rainbow flag and “All are welcome here!”sign, Bible believers know to stay away from that church.  But if you see a church with an Israeli flag outside or maybe a sign that says, “We stand with Israel!”, you can be pretty safe in knowing that’s a church that preaches from all the Bible and knows that Jesus isn’t done with the amazing Jews and the country of Israel, which emerged from the ashes and bones in 1948 and will never be destroyed again.

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

The Battle Inside Today’s Churches

I was intrigued by a recent Prophecy News Watch article titled: “The Battle for Israel Is Now Being Fought Inside the Church.” Of course, the mainline denominations have become increasingly anti-Israel. This isn’t surprising given that for centuries they have accepted the tenets of Replacement Theology, believing that God long ago rejected the Jewish people.

The article correctly described the premillennial beliefs of those it described as “evangelicals.” However, not everyone in this group sees Israel’s rebirth as a nation as the first step toward the Lord restoring the kingdom to the nation at His Second Coming.

Sadly, the battleground is no longer between mainline denominations and evangelicals, but it’s rather inside the walls of churches that profess to be Bible-believing.

The Roots of Antisemitism

Amillennial beliefs have surged in recent decades in churches that profess belief in Scripture’s inspiration and inerrancy. It’s not uncommon for statements of faith to include strong language affirming Scripture as God-breathed while also proclaiming an end-of-the-age Second Coming as the very next event on God’s prophetic calendar.

The most popular no-Israel belief of our day is that of Dominion Theology, which teaches that the church will change the world and bring millennial conditions to the world before Jesus’ return to Earth. The aforementioned Replacement Theology remains a close second in popularity among “evangelicals.” Those in the Covenant Theology camp believe it was always God’s intention for Israel to transition to the church.

The dismissal of Jesus’ thousand-year reign from Mount Zion, as common in all these variations of Amillennialism, has long been a breeding ground for antisemitism, and today is no different. Pastor and author Gary Hamrick described it this way in an article on Harbinger’s Daily.

We’re seeing pastors today who refuse to support Israel because they’ve been influenced by Replacement Theology’s faulty interpretation of Scripture, and there are terrible repercussions for giving place to this damaging theology.

When the church entertains the idea that God has somehow replaced His covenant with the Jewish people—it provides fuel for the fire of those who would do Israel harm.

Make no mistake—this is a spiritual battle. Satan incites antisemitism, and antisemitism is satanic. And no one bears more responsibility in the fight against antisemitism than the church.

It’s not that all those who ascribe to a no-Israel view of future Bible prophecy have ill feelings toward Israel or the Jewish people. They do not. However, there has been a cause-and-effect pattern throughout church history as the teaching that God has rejected Israel has provoked hatred of the Jews. As Pastor Hamrick stated, it’s “a spiritual battle,” and it’s behind today’s resurgence of antisemitism.

Why Does It Matter?

Sadly, the battle extends beyond just hostility toward Israel and the Jewish people. In many instances, amillennial beliefs chip away at Scripture’s authority in other areas far too important to ignore.

It’s no accident that churches’ mainline denominations, long steeped in Replacement Theology, are the most prone to acquiesce to the world’s woke agenda. If God’s Word doesn’t really mean what it says about Israel, then alternative views of other passages become more inviting and eventually accepted.

As if the tendency toward antisemitism and wokeness were not enough, the belief that God could turn His back on promises to Israel also erodes the foundation of salvation “by grace through faith” (Ephesians 2:1-10). If faithfulness to the Lord matters in God keeping His covenant promises to the Jewish nation, then is it not possible to extend the same reasoning to believers under the promises of the New Covenant?

I recently learned that a prominent advocate of Dominion Theology believed we are responsible for both being saved and remaining saved. That’s not grace, and it contradicts what Paul wrote in Ephesians 2:1-10. Besides that, such teaching creates a clear path to boasting about one’s salvation.

Another prominent advocate of another no-Israel view of Bible prophecy believes that Jesus’ death on the cross didn’t pay the penalty for our sins, but only made our salvation “possible.” Is that not light-years away from the Christian faith revealed throughout all of Scripture? And yet, he’s a revered author.

Granted, these are isolated examples and don’t reflect the views of most Amillennialists. On the other hand, Replacement Theology opens the door to elevating behavior over that of relying solely on God’s merciful and gracious provision for our salvation. If God can renege on His promises to Israel because of behavior, what does that say about our security as believers?

I wrote my latest book, Irrevocable: The Case for Israel (now available on the Westbow Press online store), to provide irrefutable evidence for Israel’s continuing place in Bible prophecy. In the process, however, I was awestruck by how God’s merciful dealings with Israel mirror His steadfast love to me and to all who trust Him as their Savior. Like Israel, we rely on God’s unfailing promises.

As I studied and wrote, the book became so much more than just compiling an abundance of evidence pointing to Israel’s future restoration as a kingdom. It also became a way to highlight the wonders of God’s unfailing love to His people, whether to the Jews or to us as New Testament saints.

The surging tide of antisemitism prompted me to start writing a book defending Israel’s place in Bible prophecy. In the end, it also became a way to proclaim God’s steadfast love.

America's Standard of Living has Become MUCH More Expensive

 This is one reason WHY the Republicans could get crushed in Tuesday's election.  Groceries, cars, houses and healthcare have become so expensive that most Americans are working and simply scraping by.  And no, Trump and the Republicans didn't cause this, but since they are in power now they will be blamed.

Of course it make ZERO SENSE to vote Democrat in hopes of lowering prices.  9 out of 10 of the most expensive American cities have been run by Democrats for the last decades, so why would anyone trust them to be the party of lower costs?

It might not be that.  It might just be that the American voter has become so uneducated and so unpracticed at critical thinking that the thought process goes like this;  "I'm not happy cuz I barely have enough.  The Republicans are in control and I'm not happy.  I think we should throw them out and try the other guys!  I'm voting Democrat!"

If you go to bed at night worried about money and you get up in the morning still worried about money, you are far from alone. In 2026, financial stress is an inescapable reality for most Americans. There is still a very small segment of the population that is doing really well, but the vast majority of us are just trying to find a way to scrape by from month to month. When you work as hard as you can and it just isn't enough, it can be absolutely soul crushing. As I discussed last week, 44 percent of Americans struggle to even afford the most basic necessities. We can all feel that the middle class is steadily eroding, and in this article I am going to share some shocking new numbers that absolutely prove that this is happening.

When I was growing up, it seemed like almost everyone was living a middle class lifestyle. Homes were very affordable, nobody had anxiety about paying for healthcare, gasoline was extremely cheap, and grocery prices were not a concern at all.

Beef was so cheap in those days, and we ate like kings.

But now who can afford to eat beef on a regular basis?

Perhaps the wealthy can, but for most of us a simple visit to the grocery store is very painful.

In fact, many Americans now skip meals on a regular basis just to save money.

And a single trip to the hospital can mean financial ruin.

This is what life is like in America today.

Yes, we are making far more money than we once did.

But the purchasing power of our money has declined much faster than our paychecks have risen.

The fact that median household income is 9.7 times higher than it was in 1971 sounds like great news.

But the bad news is that the amount of gold that the median household income can buy has dropped by 88 percent since 1971.

If you look at the chart above, you will see that our standard of living has really been going downhill since the year 2000.

Needless to say, those at the bottom of the economic pyramid have been hit the hardest.

In a different post, Adam Livingston also pointed out that the federal minimum wage has lost about 95 percent of its value since 1971 when measured in gold...

Here;  Over The Past 55 Years, American Workers' Standard Of Living Has Fallen Much More Than Most People Realize | ZeroHedge

I'd have to agree with a lot of this.  This blog has been warning about MONEY PRINTING since we started over 15 years ago.  Fiat currency is is a Latin word meaning "We declare this to be money".  It's not backed by anything except faith and confidence and a declaration.

When a government walks away from backing their currency by gold or something else of value, that same government soon realizes they can print money and buy things they promised their voters.  It usually starts out slow as the government doesn't want to "overdue this privilege", but at some point they just keep doing a little more here and a little more there and before you know it they have debased the currency. 

For every generation of American history, the kids ended up better off than the parents.  But that may be no longer true.

So people vote for the other party hoping that they will give them more free stuff to help them afford life...never realizing that they are cooking themselves in a 'debased currency Ponzi scheme'.

Are They Telling Us to Prep for Financial Doomsday?

 Maybe this has something to do with why the governments of the world are telling their citizens to have food, water and CASH on hand in their homes?

While I don’t believe the global economy is going to collapse BEFORE the rapture, we could certainly expect to see all sorts of warning signs and pre-prophetic fulfillment signs…and this could be one of them.

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

Could insidious forces use ultra-powerful AI agents to create a “financial doomsday” by hacking into banks all over the globe? Financial executives have been forced to prepare for a “day after” scenario because the number of AI cyberattacks is increasing at a blistering pace. As AI models become even more powerful and even more sophisticated, the attacks on our financial system will only get worse. It appears to be only a matter of time until a worst case scenario materializes. How will our economy function when that day suddenly arrives?

We never should have allowed our financial system to become so deeply dependent on the Internet.

Some of our best and brightest minds are creating AI models that are insanely formidable. That technology can be used for good purposes, but it can also be used for evil purposes.

What would you do if you woke up someday and all of the money in your bank account was gone?

What would you do if you woke up someday and all of the money in your entire bank was gone?

There are all sorts of nightmarish hypotheticals that I could mention.

For a long time, U.S. banks were way ahead of the game, but now attacks have become so sophisticated that they are “preparing contingency plans” for a “day after” scenario…

Doomsaying about the coming AI apocalypse is no longer relegated to outbursts from a few tech billionaires.

Now, the major American banks whose policies dictate the flow of capital throughout the world are starting to worry about rogue AI, preparing contingency plans for the “day after” a theoretical AI-driven catastrophe.

Our banks are under constant attack now.

The End-Time Reprobate Mind

 How is it possible for the Democrat Socialist Left to be so delusional that they don’t believe that a woman is pregnant with a “baby”, that men can put on a wig and say “I’m a woman!”, and they will let her into a girl’s locker room and let him play against girls?  How is it that 20% of them approve of and celebrate the murder of Charlie Kirk?  How can they cheer for the devils in Palestine and celebrate the immigration of millions of Muslims into Europe and America?  

The Bible tells us that God will ultimately give over the unrepentant sinners to a “reprobate mind”. 

 “You want your perverted sin so bad?  Ok then!  Here you go!  Here’s a hog pit filled with perverted crap!  Go wallow in it until you can’t see or hear anything that comes from God.”

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

Should the great Apostle Paul be allowed to return from Heaven to get a glimpse of things going on here at the moment –a thing he would likely decline if offered—I believe upon his taking one glance at today’s so-called leftists’ thinking, he would say this was exactly the point he was making as recorded in Romans 1:28.

Here are those things wrapped in the apostle’s words, under Holy Spirit Inspiration:

“Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 

“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them (Romans 1: 24-32).

Now these accusations can be leveled all across the human dimension, for all have sinned and come short of God’s Glory, as the Scripture informs. However, as an ideology that has manifested these ungodly characteristics to the slightest detail, the leftist-progressive mindset personifies Paul’s description of the reprobate mind (v. 28).

The following journalistic piece, to my way of observation, frames precisely this mindset against all that is godly that we have been subjected to for more than a few decades –particularly, for the past decade:

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.  Such is often the case with far-left political candidates and their thinly veiled rhetoric.  Not long ago, these officials used to hide their more radical beliefs behind a facade of “centrism,” but then something magical happened: The year 2020.

This was the year the mask was ripped off completely, and progressives showed their true degenerate colors to the world.  The combination of pandemic hysteria, the BLM riots, the NGO-funded transgender movement (targeting children), the contested presidential election, and the rise of the Biden regime gave the political left more jumped-up arrogance than they had ever shown before.

They had gone insane with dreams of perpetual power. 

In the wake of the leftist frenzy, many Democrat politicians felt emboldened to come out of the closet as the Cultural Marxists they truly are.  However, with the fall of Biden and the collapse of DEI, these same officials are now attempting to distance themselves from what they call “Woke 1.0,” and they are putting the trusty masks back on.  One such person is James Talarico.  In fact, Talarico represents the quintessential militant leftist in centrist clothing.

The Texas State Representative has been in the news recently for his bizarre two-week disappearance at the peak of campaign season, which he claims was due to the flu.  Conservative influencers Nick Sortor and Rhein Amacher posted on X asserting that a hospital employee at the Lindner Center of Hope (a mental health facility in Mason, Ohio, near Cincinnati) had confirmed that James Talarico had been a patient there and was recently discharged.

Source: The Madness Of James Talarico,  ZeroHedge, Rapture Ready News, October 14, 2026 

With the nation being split pretty much down the middle regarding morality and social issues, as the younger generations are fed lies about America’s founding and about God’s Governance through a godless education system, and pumped full of half-truths and outright lies by social and mainstream news and entertainment media, Paul’s words are fully in view as Prophetic Truth. Much of the nation has, it seems, been or is in process of being turned over to that reprobate mind (Romans 1:28).

While we watch things unfold as the Mid-term elections approach, it is not out of order to wonder whether America is past redemption in the sense of maintaining national sanity or maybe being returned to national sanity.

Certainly, this is no time to give up on this once great nation, as it was founded on Judeo-Christian principles. The Second Chronicles 2:14 promise is still there in God’s Holy Word. And it applies to America and her people who belong to God’s Family as much as to all of God’s people of all the ages.

The end-time reprobate mind is a national, even worldwide, sin-infection, but God’s Remedy is available as the Rx for this Satan-spawned Dementia.

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14).

Why Are Governments Suddenly Telling Everyone to Stockpile Food, Water and Cash?

 We think it’s a great idea to have some food, water and cash in you home.  Why?  Because if there is an emergency or power outage, the stores will go empty in a nanosecond.  And you don’t want to be like folks in emergencies past that came to blows over the last bottled water at a Walmart near you.

But what is interesting is that all the governments of the Western world seem to be issuing the warning/advice at the same time.  Do they have a hunch that Russia is about to use a nuke?  Maybe the “aliens” are coming?  Maybe an asteroid?

Pete Hegseth has told all military bases to be self sufficient for 90 days with no help from the outside world.

Just a suggestion here, but if there is a nightmare scenario and the military closes its gates to the outside…there is no help coming to your neighborhood from military, police or fire fighters.  It might be a good time to rebuild that depression room you last stocked before the financial meltdown of 2007-2009.

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

Around the world, governments are increasingly advising their citizens to have provisions in the case of an emergency such as war, extreme weather and cybersecurity threats.

Different countries advise different levels of preparedness. Having emergency supplies for a three-day period is commonly advised. France and the U.K. recently advised people to have supplies for a period of 72 hours ready.

There has been a specific focus on emergency preparedness in Europe over the past two years. The European Commission unveiled its Preparedness Union Strategy in March of 2025 and said that Europe faced growing geopolitical tensions and conflicts, as well as the threat of natural disasters owing to climate change. 

While advice on the exact amount of time people should have provisions for varies, guidance on what the contents of an emergency kit should be is relatively consistent, with governments advising stocks of non-perishable food, water, medicine, batteries, a flashlight and a radio.

Newsweek has compiled a map of countries where governments are advising for emergency preparedness and recommending stockpiling of food.

Newsweek has contacted the White House for comment via email outside of regular business hours.

Pastor in Cleveland Takes 2nd Wife and Congregation Applauds

 As the return of the Lord draws near, Jesus said there would be a great falling away.  Many Bible believers think that means that many (most?) people who identify as “Christian” are actually not saved.  They have not repented.  They have invented a different Jesus that has no power to save them.  They have a “form of godliness but the Holy Spirit is absent.”

Today we have a loud, proud pastor who refers to himself as a prophet (red flag) and his priestess wife announcing they have taken a 2nd wife, and the congregation applauds.

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

During a jaw-dropping Sunday service at LifeWorks Church in Wickliffe, Ohio on October 25th, self-proclaimed “prophet” Israel Ford and his wife Lydia Ford revealed an absolutely shocking secret. With no shame at all, they told the congregation that they have been in a polygamous marriage for three years. Ford and his wife have decided that limiting a man to just one wife is “unbiblical”, and so that would apparently open the door for more wives in the future.

Standing right next to her husband on stage, Lydia Ford welcomed minister Shakayla Ford to the altar as her “sister in marriage”…

In the four-minute video, Lydia Ford described their relationship as a “polygynous marriage,” according to a transcript. Polygyny is a version of polygamy, defined as a marriage of one man to more than one wife simultaneously.

“My husband, our prophet, he has a second wife. Y’all know her. Y’all love her. Y’all benefit from her ministry every week,” Lydia Ford told the congregation.

The first wife then introduced the second as her “sister in marriage.”

You would think that they would want to keep this sort of thing quiet.

But instead, Israel Ford proudly posted video footage of the announcement on Instagram.

As you can see below, the congregation responded to the announcement with a standing ovation…

To me, the way that the congregation reacted is the most shocking element of this story.

They seem to think that it is perfectly fine for their pastor to have a second wife.

On his Instagram account, Israel Ford defiantly declared that those that are teaching that a man should only have one wife are “unbiblical”…

I would like to introduce to the world, my second wife, Shakayla Ford!!! As a nation we have been taught that a man should have one wife only. This is unbiblical. I encourage you to watch today’s sermon in its entirety (uploaded later this week). I understand that this is an unpopular truth that we have gotten away from and many Pastors will not preach. I have no plans to choose pleasing man over what God has revealed. People may not accept this and choose to disconnect, and that is ok! This life will be over soon and we can all laugh about it in Heaven.

Wow.

Perhaps he should have looked into the laws of the state that he is living in before revealing all of this.

God Says He Destroys Nations that Refuse to Listen, So Where Does that Leave America?

 In my daily Bible reading, I'm in the book of Jeremiah.  As you recall, Jeremiah prophesied about the destruction of Jerusalem and Judah.  He did so for 40 years!  The folks of Judah ignored him.  They scoffed at him.  They refused to listen.  And one day the nation of Babylon showed up and they were used by God to carry out His judgment.

"But if any nation does not listen, I will completely uproot and destroy it", declares the Lord.

That's from Jeremiah 12:17

We know that God is never changing.  We also know that America falls under the definition of "any nation".  So where does that leave us?

Let's look at some stats from 2025.

A study by the Cultural Research Center has revealed that 'Christianity' in America is becoming an increasingly vague term, as only 40% of Americans believe God exists and influences human lives.

Even for those who believe, an increasing number say they are hesitant to “develop intimacy” with God, or allow Him to impact their lifestyle choices.

Two-thirds of American adults identify as “Christian” – yet only 16% of those surveyed say that God is the “most important” element of their life.

Of those who believe in God’s existence, 30 million reject the notion that He is actively involved in every aspect of their life, whilst over 80 million admit they do not have an intimate, interactive relationship with Him.

When asked what the God of the Bible provides to them, a majority of believers said He supplies hope (72%), comfort (71%), love (70%), peace (65%), guidance (64%), compassion (60%), joy (60%), and mercy (58%).

For people who believe that God exists and affects human lives, 38% described God as the most important element of their life. One out of seven adults (14%) described Him as somewhat important in their life, with 5% saying God is either 'not too' or 'not at all' important in their life, and the final 3% thinking that God's importance that His importance varies according to their circumstances.

Three in four said the God of the Bible is actively involved in every moment of their life

Barna describes the figures as “shocking”, saying that the survey indicates a widespread version of ‘Christianity’ which has little to do with God – and more to do with nominal cultural markers.

Author and research director, Dr George Barna says: “When you put all of these insights together, we understand we have fashioned the God of the Bible to be a deity reconfigured into our own image in order to fit within our personal comfort zone.

“[Therefore], the trials and tribulations, as well as the multifaceted demise of the nation, come into sharper focus.”

Here;  Most Americans don't believe in God, says new study

If anyone has eyes to see, we'd have to be intentionally blind to not understand that all of the elements of judgment have currently manifested in America.

Yes!  We have been worshipping other gods.  Yes!  There is a famine of understanding and knowing the Word or God.  Yes!  We have rejected the Son of God.  Yes!  We have fashioned Jesus into a form that suits us!  Yes!  We are scoffing at the warnings of destruction that apply to ANY nation that refuses to listen.

So we should be very careful in putting our future HOPE in America.  Our hope and help ONLY comes from the Lord.  And our BLESSED HOPE is that Jesus, our only Savior, will soon come in the clouds and snatch His bride (the true church) off this sin-saturated earth and take us to the place He has prepared!

Come Lord Jesus!!  Pray it is today!!

Netanyahu is Clear: More War is On the Way

 For those who are hoping for peace to break out all over the world...don't hold your breath.  Wars and rumors of war can be expected to continue until the rapture of the church.  After that, the world will be desperate to have someone, ANYONE!, who can bring some order and sense back to the world.  Of course this will be the Antichrist whom the world will welcome.

So today we read from the leader of Israel to expect more wars.

1. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rushed to the scene of the deadly terrorist attack near Hebron two days ago, in which Staff Sgt. Ron Yonatan Roytman and Sgt. Yuval Shai Svilem were killed, and announced that the IDF had prepared plans for a sweeping operation in the West Bank "unlike anything carried out since the Six-Day War."

"It's coming," he emphasized.

Well, then: If you were looking for the real election results — a preview of what awaits us if Netanyahu wins the election in two days — you have your answer: "It's coming."

And if that's the case, what exactly have we been through until now?

But Netanyahu also intends to lead us into another round of war with Iran, so get your reinforced safe rooms ready.

And when it comes to the sanctions the international community intends to impose on the banking system, Netanyahu plans to circumvent the sanctions regime by using cryptocurrencies, just as Iran, North Korea, Russia and Venezuela do.

This is not inflammatory rhetoric from his opponents. If you vote for Netanyahu, this is what you will get — straight from the horse's mouth, as they say.

2. The poet Andrei Voznesensky, one of the Soviet Union's greatest poets of the 20th century, wrote in his poem "Untitled":

"There is no need for evasive words, no need for nonsense. We are the children of the cult of personality, we are its flesh and blood. We grew up in a two-faced fog, between delusions of grandeur and poverty of spirit."

Here;  Netanyahu's warning is clear: More war is on the way

Clearly, YNET News leans left and they DON'T want Netanyahu re-elected. 

Israel is very split, just as America is, between those who believe that war is "bad" and those who believe war is necessary to stop the Muslim genocidal horde from wiping out all the Jews.

The Bible says that during the Great Tribulation, 2/3 of the Jews will be killed in another Holocaust at the hands of the Antichrist.  But God always keeps a remnant.  And the Jews who survive will have been supernaturally protected by God himself and they will accept Christ as their savior and will be ushered into the Millennial Kingdom while still in the human bodies.

What an amazing story!

A Frenchman’s Warning to America About Voting Democrat

It sounds like a great idea, “tax the rich and use their money to give all of us free healthcare, education, food, clothing and housing.  All those things are human rights!”

But in reality nothing is free.  You have to rob Peter to pay Paul.  And in a free nation all the Peter’s realize it’s time to leave for a better nation.  Witness France today.  And if America doesn’t change course we will be there real soon.

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

“A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.” So noted famed English author George Bernard Shaw, lamenting the British political system in 1944. And now a Frenchman, lamenting the French political system today, has a warning for Americans.

Don’t be Paul.

Paul believes promises. He gets pain — and maybe even poverty.

Issuing this message was Brivael Le Pogam, “co-founder and self-proclaimed ‘techno-emperor’ of the French AI company Argil,” to quote Fox News. His nation has figured prominently in the media lately, being wracked by riots from Paris to Pau. But on Le Pogam’s mind recently was something else: Our nation — and our upcoming election.

As the tech entrepreneur wrote on X last Tuesday in a post that went viral:

I’m French. I want to talk to Americans who are about to vote Democrat. Not to insult you. To warn you.

I come from your future.

In France we did everything your progressive politicians promise. Free healthcare, free college, generous welfare, strong unions, heavy regulation, high taxes on the rich, a state that takes care of everything. Public spending close to 57% of GDP, one of the highest on the planet. On paper, it’s the dream.

Here’s what it looks like from the inside. France hasn’t passed a balanced budget since 1974. Our debt is above 3,300 billion euros. Interest on that debt is becoming one of the biggest items in the national budget. Our hospitals are collapsing despite record funding. Our schools rank lower every year. Young people with degrees can’t afford an apartment in the city they were born in. Our best engineers leave for London, Zurich and San Francisco. And the rich you wanted to tax? They left too, and took the jobs with them.

The promise was protection. The result is stagnation.

The worst part is that nobody in France voted for decline. Every single step sounded generous, compassionate, reasonable. One more program. One more regulation. One more tax to fund it. Each step alone makes sense. Fifty years of them, and you wake up in a country that can no longer build a nuclear plant on time or keep its streets safe.

What’s untrue in the above: Many Frenchmen did vote for the decline — they just didn’t want it. There’s a difference. (Translation: The electorate often doesn’t know what it’s voting for.)

Le Pogam then concludes:

I love America because it’s the one place on earth where people still believe they can build something from nothing. I came to Silicon Valley as a self-taught kid and it changed my life. That spirit is the most precious thing your country has.

Before you vote, ask yourself one question: is the program you’re voting for making America more like America, or more like France?

Trust me. You don’t want to be France.

France Gets What it Asked For

“I will bless those who bless you (Israel) and curse those who curse you.”

It appears France is going to figure out this biblical truth as Muslims continue to ransack their cities while flying Palestinian flags.  

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

As the expression goes – be careful what you ask for, because it may not work out so well. Surely that must have crossed the mind of French president Emmanuel Macron over the past few days.

The date was September 22, 2025 when he uttered those fateful words… 
“France recognizes the State of Palestine.” 

Just a little over one year later, Paris is burning, Lyons and Marseilles are chaotic, Jewish owned shops destroyed, department stores looted, trash and litter cover French streets, monuments burnt to the ground, more than a thousand arrested, the Palestinian flag has been hoisted next to the tricolor flag of France, and there doesn’t seem to be any let-up in sight. 

Someone might call it karma, but I call it the biblical law of reciprocity. Bless Israel and you get blessed. Curse Israel and you get cursed. The divine reaction to one’s original action is unavoidable.

Europe: Ready for the Antichrist

 We need the rapture, which removes the restraining Holy Spirit present in all believers.  This will cause the collapse of the US Dollar and rip apart the current financial system.  The Leftists of America have a crush on the Leftist leaders of Europe and all of them will be left behind.  America will look to Europe for leadership because they will have far less disruption caused by missing folks taken in the rapture.

You can read the quote below which is quite eerie and which we first read many years ago.  “Be he a god or the devil, we will receive him!”

When the Muslim chaos currently messing up France continues on to mess up Italy, UK, Belgium, Holland, Sweden, Norway and the USA isn’t able to offer assistance, they will welcome the Antichrist with open arms.

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

The title I am using for this article is not mine. It was the title Amir Tsarfati used at my prophecy conference in suburban Minneapolis in the Fall of 2016. It was one of the most captivating and timely messages ever presented at that event that spanned almost 20 years. Dare I say, some 5,000 people sat captivated—even riveted.

Amir described his experience in Europe that year. It left him terrified. You can hear the message here. Remember, this is a decade ago. He knew he was somewhere near the headquarters of a future Antichrist empire. He felt unnerved and even ran back to his hotel room, sensing evil or danger. Shortly after that, he called me, and we did a radio interview.

The Globalists Pave the Way

We’re seeing Europe’s globalists paving the way for the Antichrist. They are throwing out the welcome mat.

No, the title of Antichrist doesn’t belong to bumbling Emmanuel Macron, but in 2016, even The Economist magazine was calling him Europe’s savior. How God humbles the proud. As the head of France, no European leader today should be as ashamed as Emmanuel Macron, who casually enjoyed a Celine Dion concert while policemen were on fire in Paris and elsewhere.

Now the world knows he’s no savior. But there is one standing by somewhere. He will rise from obscurity.

There have been riots and demonstrations in Greece, Spain, Italy, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Portugal, and beyond, but began in mid-September in France.

Be He God or Devil, We Will Receive Him! Seriously?

Europe has cried for a savior in days gone by. Paul Henri Spaak—a Belgian politician called “Mr. Europe”, was Secretary General of NATO in 1957. At that time, he made a statement that lingers and should haunt Europeans today:

“What we need is a man of sufficient stature to hold the

allegiance of all people, and to lift us out of the

economic morass into which we are sinking.

Send us such a man, and be he god or devil, we

will receive him.”

Daniel 9 suggests the Antichrist will come from the region that destroyed the Temple in 70 AD. And while the Roman Empire was huge, most scholars suggest this “little horn” will arise from what is today, the European Union.

Welcoming the Stranger??

Europe has reeked with the familiar mantras of “free Palestine” and “from the river to the sea” since October 7, 2023. Could that be a judgment? Decades ago, Europe killed most of its Jews and then began welcoming Islamic immigrants to the point of collapse today.

Now, they need a savior, and according to Spaak and almost all of today’s globalists, be he god or devil, they will receive him.
