7-29-23 May Be Our Last Chance

May Be Our Last Chance - By Daymond Duck - https://www.raptureready.com/2022/10/16/may-be-our-last-chance-by-daymond-duck/ On Oct. 3, 2022, Franklin Graham wrote, “To say that much is at stake (in the Nov. 8, 2022, election) is a gross understatement. It isn’t just control of Congress; it may be our last chance to stop the immoral and ungodly policies that have brought our great nation to the moral brink of disaster.” He asked, “What happens to a nation that continues in its wicked ways with no repentance?” He responded, “Israel and Judah both went into captivity and exile.” Two days later, on Oct. 5, 2022, it was reported that Tony Perkins said in an interview with Decision Magazine that we are not only in “a battle for the soul of the nation, but it’s a battle for the children of our nation—their souls.” Perkins added, our government is locking “children into a path that leads to destruction.” We are hearing that the Nov. election may be the most important election of our lives, and that may be true, especially for the future and eternal destiny of our children, grandchildren, etc. (Note: Some officials and prophecy teachers believe the Democrats will create a crisis to change the voting rules or call off the election if they think they are going to lose.) (Note: On Oct. 6, 2022, it was reported that a study by the Public Interest Legal Foundation found that 13.3 million voters in New York do not have documents to prove their identity.) Here are more articles about “immoral and ungodly policies” in our nation and signs that the end of the age is near. One, concerning deceit: on Oct. 5, 2022, it was reported that Pres. Trump wanted to fill America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPR) in 2020 with U.S.-produced oil that cost $24 per barrel. According to the report, Sen. Chuck Schumer defeated Trump’s proposal and boasted that he and the Democrats had blocked Trump’s “bailout for big oil.” Pres. Biden has sold a lot of America’s SPR to try to stop the rise of gasoline prices before the mid-term elections. It is now being reported that Pres. Biden recently tried to secretly keep OPEC+ from cutting their oil production by offering to buy up to 200 million barrels of OPEC+ oil at a cost of $80 per barrel to refill America’s SPR. Have you got that? Democrats blocked Trump from buying oil for $24 per barrel from U.S. oil companies, but Biden offered to buy oil from OPEC+ for $80 per barrel from foreigners. America badly needs leaders that put American jobs and taxpayers first. (Note: Biden has not only sold a lot of America’s SPR, but he has also given so many of America’s weapons to Ukraine, and the U.S. military now says our supply of weapons is at dangerously low levels. If we get into a major war, it is beginning to look like America won’t have enough oil, troops, or weapons.) (Note: On Oct. 11, 2022, a former 4-term Democrat Congresswoman and former Democrat candidate for Pres. of the U.S., Tulsi Gabbard, announced that she is leaving the Democrat party. Gabbard said, “I believe in a government that is of the people, by the people, and for the people. Unfortunately, today’s Democratic Party does not. Instead, it stands for a government that is of, by, and for the powerful elite.”) Two, concerning wickedness and corruption in the U.S. Dept. of Justice (DOJ): under the Biden administration, more than 100 pro-life pregnancy centers and churches have been vandalized, there have been hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage, and video cameras have recorded some of them, but not even one person has been arrested. On the other hand, about 15 vehicles carrying 25-30 FBI agents with drawn guns recently showed up at a pro-life speaker’s home at 7:05 in the morning to arrest him for a one-year-old incident that has already been tried and thrown out of court. It now appears that some criminals (those that damage pro-life facilities — for example, arsonists and looters with Antifa and Black Lives Matter) — are immune from FBI arrest, but innocent people are being arrested and hauled away by FBI agents if someone in our government opposes their politics, their position on abortion, or whatever. Three, concerning wickedness and corruption in the DOJ: according to a DOJ document that a whistleblower gave to Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee titled “Retirements and Resignations During Unwelcome Sexual Conduct Adjudications,” more than 660 FBI employees, including 45 top-level officials, resigned before they could receive a disciplinary letter. According to the Report, on Oct. 6, 2022, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Chuck Grassley, sent a letter to U.S. Attorney Gen. Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray requesting information on what they are doing to address the situation. Four, concerning corruption in the White House: Federal agents have been investigating, lying, and covering up for Hunter Biden since 2018. On Oct. 7, 2022, it was reported that they may now be getting ready to charge him with lying and tax evasion. It is impossible to predict what the government will do, but there is speculation that Hunter will receive a slap on the wrist (a small fine), his dad will pardon his crimes, and then the DOJ will say they have to go after former Pres. Donald Trump and his children to be fair to both parties. Time will tell, but there is something rotten in Washington when Hillary and Hunter are untouchable, but people that want to Make America Great Again are hauled away from home by the FBI. Five, concerning deceit and corruption: on Oct. 9, 2022, it was reported that two states (Missouri and Louisiana) and several individuals have filed a lawsuit against 67 officials and agencies (against Pres. Biden; individuals in the FBI, the FDA, HHS; against Dr. Anthony Fauci, Facebook, Google, Twitter, and others) for violating the First Amendment rights of citizens. Among other things, the lawsuit claims these 67 officials and agencies possibly communicated with each other to censor citizens on: Covid-19 information. The Hunter Biden laptop information. Election security, integrity, outcomes, and/or public confidence in election outcomes. The states and individuals are backing up their lawsuit with e-mails obtained through the discovery process. (Note: On Oct. 10, 2022, it was reported that the two FBI agents that contacted Facebook before the 2020 election and recommended the censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story donated money to the Democrats.) Six, concerning deceit and corruption: on Oct. 10, 2022, a Pfizer executive told the European Parliament the company never tested its Covid-19 vaccine to see if it would prevent the transmission of the virus. Millions of citizens were forced to get vaccinated to protect others from Covid-19, and we now know that the claim of protection was a fabricated lie. Seven, concerning deceit and corruption in the FBI and the Democrat National Committee: on Oct. 11, 2022, it was reported that an FBI supervisor (Brian Auten) admitted that the FBI offered $1 million to ex-British intelligence agent Christopher Steele for proof that his allegations in the famous Steele Dossier against former Pres. Trump and his 2016 campaign were true, but Steele said he could not prove the allegations. According to Auten (who was under oath in the trial of a Russian that was involved), the FBI used the unproven information in court to get a warrant to spy on Trump campaign aid Carter Page. Auten also testified that the Steele Dossier was commissioned by a firm called Fusion GPS that was being paid with money funneled through a law firm (Perkins Coie) by the Hillary Clinton Campaign and the Democratic National Committee. If I understand this correctly, Hillary and the Democrats paid people to create the so-called “Russian Collusion” story to try to defeat Trump in 2016, the FBI offered $1 million for proof that the “Russian Collusion” story was true (and there was no proof), but the FBI still used the unproven information to get illegal court warrants (perhaps 4) to spy on Trump campaign aids. There is more: the FBI then put the Russian that apparently made up the lie on the government payroll and paid him for 4 years during the Trump administration, and when the Hunter Biden laptop story broke, the FBI put Auten in charge of the cover-up. Trump should have been exonerated but wasn’t; people’s lives were ruined, millions of taxpayer dollars were spent investigating Trump, and some Democrats want Hillary to run for president again. Eight, concerning perilous times: Russian Pres. Putin recently said he will use every weapon (including nuclear weapons) at his disposal to win the war with Ukraine. On Oct. 4, 2022, it was reported that Ukraine is sending potassium iodine pills to evacuation centers for public distribution in case Russia follows through on the use of nuclear weapons. On Oct. 5, 2022, Poland announced that it has asked the U.S. to station nuclear weapons on its territory (note: U.S. officials denied that they have received the request). On Oct. 5, 2022, the Biden administration announced plans to buy $390 million dollars’ worth of Nplate, a drug used to treat radiation sickness (note: this drug can cause deadly side effects). On Oct. 6, 2022, Pres. Biden said the risk of a nuclear Armageddon is at the highest level since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. As far as I know, there are no Scriptures about the use of nuclear weapons before the Tribulation Period, but there are verses that seem to indicate that nuclear weapons will be used during the Tribulation Period (Zech. 14:12; Rev. 6:14). Some or all this talk about using nuclear weapons may be propaganda, but tensions are rising, threatening to use nuclear weapons should not be taken lightly, and officials need to look for ways to calm the situation. Nine, concerning the tracking of all buying and selling: on Oct. 5, 2022, the Canadian government admitted that it has signed a $105.3 million contract with the World Economic Forum (WEF) to create a digital ID system for travelers. It has also been reported that they want every Canadian in a national ID System. Ten, concerning the tracking of all buying and selling: on Oct. 7, 2022, it was reported that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has pledged $1.27 billion to the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals with the understanding that $200 million will be spent on creating a global ID system with a data-sharing system, and databases. The goal is to get everyone on earth into a single global database by 2030 with information on what they do, say, write, buy, sell, etc., that can be used to control them. This sounds very much like the prophesied Mark of the Beast system that will bring an end to freedom on earth (and the Rapture is a minimum of 3 ½ years before that). Eleven, concerning offending people: on Oct. 3, 2022, the famous Hal Lindsey pointed out that Jesus was talking about signs of His Second Coming when He said, “then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another” (Matt. 24:10). According to Lindsey, “There has never been a time when more people were more offended over more things than right now” (things real and imagined, words spoken and unspoken, political affiliation, etc.). As usual, he is right on target. Twelve, theft is one of six sins that the Book of Revelation says unbelievers will not repent of during the Tribulation Period (Rev. 9:20-21). On Sept. 28, 2022, it was reported that the District Attorney in El Dorado County, Cal., said shoplifting is out of control in the state. Thirteen, on Oct. 8, 2022, it was reported that Tyson Foods announced that it will move its corporate headquarters from Chicago, Il, to Arkansas because of crime. Approximately 1,100 employees will be impacted. Fourteen, concerning the Temple: on Oct. 7, 2022, a District Court Judge in Jerusalem ruled that banning Jews from the Temple Mount is a serious violation of Jewish freedom of movement. The Judge also ruled that banning Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount is illegal. Fifteen, concerning Temple worship: on Oct. 12, 2022, Jewish priests and Levites dressed in priestly clothes performed the water libation service (pouring out of water: Jesus poured out His soul on the cross to give us living water; salvation, eternal life, the Holy Spirit). They started at the Temple Dung Gate, played musical instruments, blew trumpets, beat drums, sang, and danced their way to the Pool of Siloam at the base of Mount Moriah. They filled a golden flask with water, took it back up to an altar that had been set up near the Wailing Wall, and poured out the living water (pure running water). They are ready to resume the service at the Temple as soon as it is rebuilt. Sixteen, concerning famine, pestilence, and war: on Oct. 10, 2022, a veteran of the U.S. Army Special Forces said: 26 major fertilizer plants in Europe have closed or are on the verge of closing. The fertilizer shortage will lead to famine. Famine is one side of a triangle of death (famine, pestilence, and war). One side of the triangle always leads to the other two sides. Many nations have been importing fertilizer from Europe, so the lack of fertilizer in Europe will lead to a lack of fertilizer in other nations. Seventeen, concerning world government: on Oct. 12, 2022, it was reported that an investigation by a news outlet in Hungary called Index found that the U.S. Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), investment banks, prominent academic institutions, the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), George Soros, and other globalist groups are giving money to candidates that will push the globalist agenda all over the world. Finally, are you Rapture Ready? If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this. duck_daymond@yahoo.com
