11-28-22 Post-Election Review for Australia

Post-Election Review for Australia :: By Ron Ferguson Published on: May 25, 2022 by RRadmin7 Category:General Articles I hope those in the United States won’t dismiss this — because it will come to your nation. In this article, the ALP is the Australian Labor Party, our equivalent to the Democrats but hard-line like Bernie Sanders’ thinking. The Jews clamored for a king even though they had One over them. The LORD was their King, but by demanding an earthly king, they were setting God aside and establishing a man-run show. The reason why they wanted this earthly ruler is clearly expressed in 1Samuel 8:19-20; “Nevertheless, the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel, and they said, ‘No, but there shall be a king over us, that we also may be like all the nations, that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles.'” It was all about conformity and falling in line with the international order. When one pursues that track, God is discounted. A few of ...

11-28-22 Power, Love, & Sound Mind in Perilous Times

Power, Love, & Sound Mind in Perilous Times :: By Jeffrey C. Ady Published on: May 25, 2022 by RRadmin7 Category:General Articles I am presently in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, in a cove surrounded by rocky, chaparral-clothed ridges, situated on a plateau forested by oaks and buckeyes, punctuated by boulders and arroyos. I am normally at profound peace in this place. I can breathe; I can rest; I am free from migraines; I am home. I sat outside this morning enjoying a cup of coffee, listening to the sounds of deer, wild turkeys and blue jays, woodpeckers and titmice (after feeding them all), and hawks and ravens. The ever-present sound of the Kaweah River provides a welcome pink noise against which the soloes of the many creatures around me scintillate. But even here, I can feel the ending of the age, a crushing sensation. The feeling of this age, the zeitgeist, the unstoppable demolition of everything on which the world has depended creeps over these mountains li...

11-28-22 It’s Too Late for Me

It’s Too Late for Me :: By Dave Hubley Published on: May 25, 2022 by RRadmin7 Category:General Articles (There is a special message at the end of this article for those who do not have Jesus in their life and are looking for peace and a way to better understand the present-day insanity and confusion.) A few years back, I was witnessing to a close friend. During the conversation, his face became anguished and very distraught, and he literally blurted out, “It’s too late for me!” It was a very emotional moment for us both. For him, it was a soul-born expression of hopelessness and despair. For me, it was a heart-wrenching, twisting moment of sadness as I realized that he had no idea of the mercy of God, the price Jesus paid for him, and the joy of the Holy Spirit’s promise of guiding all who receive Jesus into all Truth. For a moment, there was the silence of despair. I asked him what he meant by it being too late for him. In his response was a clear glimpse into the price paid ...

11-27-22A Waste of Life

Daily Devotion: A Waste of Life - by Greg Laurie – www.harvest.org Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! —Psalm 46:10 https://harvest.org/resources/devotion/a-waste-of-life/ - Listen I wonder when we stand before God if He will ask us about what we did with our time. People waste so much time every day. And they waste a lot of it on their cell phones. Kids spend eight to twelve hours each day on a cell phone, teenagers spend about nine hours a day, and adults spend around four-and-a half hours per day. It’s a big waste of life in many ways. I think we need to make a conscious effort to put down our devices and spend time with each other, talking to each other and listening to each other. Most importantly, we need to spend time with the Lord. Interestingly, when someone asked Billy Graham if he had any regrets in life, he said yes. He wished he had spent more time praying, more time studying the Bib...

11-27-22 Stupidocrisy: Monkeys in the middle

Daily Jot: Stupidocrisy: Monkeys in the middle – Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com Joe Biden in Japan Monday said that America is “going through an incredible transition” to “be less reliant on fossil fuels.” And herein is why, according to the US Department of Agriculture, a family of four on a thrifty food plan will pay $917 for groceries in May, up about 65% from a year ago. It’s also why gasoline prices have jumped over 53% from $2.46 a gallon when Biden first took office to $4.56 a gallon on Monday. A “transition,” as he calls it away from fossil fuels. This isn’t a transition, it is a blunt force political hammer that smashes the budgets of families around the world and causes hunger, malnutrition and starvation. This is inhumane stupidity. A “transition” would be enacting a plan over a reasonable time. Biden also has been working under the radar to turn over America’s sovereignty to the World Health Organization. Biden wants to allow WHO to establish world governing authori...

11-27-22 Planting Seeds of Faith

Planting Seeds of Faith - Nathele Graham - twotug@embarqmail.comssa Spring is the time of year that reminds us of rebirth. Winter was a time of trees with no leaves and bitter cold with no flowers to brighten the gloom. All seems dead and lifeless. Spring brings hope with birds singing and trees sprouting leaves and the flowers pushing their way up from the ground. “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:” Ecclesiastes 3:1. Farmers prepare their land for crops and then plant seeds. That shows faith. A seed goes into the ground and it looks small and not at all like what is expected to grow. Yet, the seed is planted and with water and nurturing, it grows into peppers or tomatoes. That’s a picture of what Christians are to do. This world is filled with darkness and the gloom of winter holds little hope, but we plant seeds of faith in Jesus Christ, and suddenly the promise of life eternal brings light into the darkness. There are many people...

11-27-22Well, Lo and Behold! Event 202? Monkeypox

Well, Lo and Behold! Event 202? Monkeypox - By Cynthia Nuara - https://www.raptureready.com/2022/05/25/well-lo-and-behold-event-202-monkeypox-by-cynthia-nuara/ Last year, in a discussion at a conference in Munich, they had a “fictional” simulation in which a lab-modified version of monkeypox was intentionally released via aerosols in train stations in the fictional country of Brinia by agents of a terrorist group operating in neighboring Arnica. This mid-May outbreak in Brinia quickly spread to the rest of the world. The exercise scenario concludes with over three billion cases and 270 million fatalities globally. The conference was called Strengthening Global Systems to Prevent and Respond to High-Consequence Biological Threats: Results from the 2021 Tabletop Exercise Conducted in Partnership with the Munich Security Conference. (As part of the scenario development process, NTI conducted a virtual consultation with experts in December 2020.) How “coincidental” it is th...

11-26-22 Apostacy and America

Apostacy and America – Terry James - https://terryjamesprophecyline.com/2022/05/24/apostacy-and-america/ We who look into Bible prophecy and try to understand things taking place that might have prophetic significance are often accused of approaching all this through an Amerocentric prism. That is, we concentrate too much on how it might apply to America. If we do this—and I concede that we do in much of our analysis—we look through this prism because America, as a nation, is so obviously guilty before God. This nation is the most materially blessed in all of human history. America is also one of the most spiritually blessed, in that the nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles by men who, if not Christian, at least chose to tether our founding to the unmovable pillars of biblical morality and reverence for human life. I say America is guilty because it takes a very little look into matters to see that we have strayed about as far from biblical precepts for conduct ...

11-26-22 The Tribulation at Our Doorstep

The Tribulation at Our Doorstep – Pastor Mike Taylor – https://pastormiketaylor.blogspot.com/2022/05/the-tribulation-at-our-doorstep.html 15 “When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. 19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.” (Matthew 24:15-22) As the hour approa...

11-26-22 A Judgment of Faithfulness

Daily Devotion: A Judgment of Faithfulness - by Greg Laurie – www.harvest.org Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! —1 Corinthians 9:24 https://harvest.org/resources/devotion/a-judgment-of-faithfulness/ - Listen I have five grandkids, so I’ve noticed the trend in youth sports today is to not keep score. This is to stress the idea that there are no winners or losers. Everyone is a winner. That sounds good, but it isn’t true in life. And it isn’t true in the Bible, either. In the Bible there are winners, and there are losers. On more than one occasion, Scripture compares the Christian life to running a race. For instance, the apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 9:24, “Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win!” (NLT). If you’re competing in the Olympics, you go for the gold. And if you’re living as a Christian, you should go for the gold as well. Run t...

11-26-22 Policy-created food crisis

Daily Jot: Policy-created food crisis - Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com With fuel prices soaring beyond record highs and disruptions in fertilizer and other supplies because of the Russian war against Ukraine, food is going to become even more costly and scarce. The Biden Administration has been and likely will continue to be inept at handling the ripple effect of its reckless energy policy, the supply chain disruptions from the mishandling of COVID, and the international impact of the Russian invasion. All this could top off a perfect storm where energy policy, fueled by radical politics, forces food price inflation, AND the aftermath of war in Europe’s breadbasket creates a global food crisis. Christians need to gird themselves for a very rough time ahead. Here’s why. Russia and Ukraine produce about 30% of the world’s foodstuffs. Wheat is a good indicator of food availability as other crops face similar challenges. The Foreign Agriculture Service of the US Department of Agric...

11-25-22 Running Out of Normal

Running Out of Normal – Pete Garcia - https://www.rev310.net/post/running-out-of-normal I was at the Prophecy Watcher’s conference this past weekend, and it was a truly amazing experience. Arriving a day early, I was pleasantly surprised when Pastor Tom Hughes and his family also arrived giving us ample amounts of time to talk and reflect on the state of the world. I was also pleased to meet and spend time with Dr. Tommy Ice, Don Mercer, Bob Maginnis, Bill Sallus, Olivier Melnick, Nathan Jones, Lee Brainard, Mondo Gonzales, Ken Johnson, Derek & Sharon Gilbert, and many more. I also got to meet so many wonderful people from all over the US and Canada. All of the presentations were amazing, informative, and very encouraging. But it was during Mondo Gonzales’ briefing, Is the Rapture in the Olivet Discourse? that the title of this article came to mind. It got me thinking of all the earth-shattering, norm-breaking, and life-changing events which have been happening since 9/11. ...

11-25-22 The Gog Factor

Nearing Midnight: The Gog Factor – Terry James - https://www.raptureready.com/category/nearing-midnight/ Everything north of Israel is shaping into a configuration that my great, late friend, Chuck Missler, would have found interesting and, as he would put it, “provocative.” He did a lot of research and put much study into the Ezekiel 38–39 prophecy. He would have found, well…provocative…how things in the regions above God’s chosen nation have lined up for fulfillment of Bible prophecy. He wouldn’t have been surprised, but totally fascinated, and would be stimulating us with his superbly intelligent diagnoses and prognoses of things, things that are, and things that are to come. Particularly of interest to him would be an in-depth look at the prophetic character known as “Gog” of the Ezekiel foretelling of the Gog-Magog invasion of Israel. In one of his many writings on who Gog might be, without ever naming anyone in particular as a definite person he thought it would...

11-25-22 The Level of Evil In Our Society Is Off The Charts

The Level of Evil In Our Society Is Off The Charts - by Michael Snyder - http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/the-level-of-evil-in-our-society-is-off-the-charts/ What in the world has happened to our society? Every day I scour dozens of news websites as I do research for my articles and upcoming books, and every day I am horrified by all of the evil that I encounter. We are a deeply, deeply sick society, and more symptoms emerge with each passing day. For example, what would cause an 18-year-old to walk into an elementary school and start gunning down young children? When I was growing up, I never once imagined something like that could possibly ever happen in any of the public schools that I attended. But now this sort of thing is becoming a regular occurrence in America, and the great tragedy that we witnessed on Tuesday quickly made headlines all over the nation… A gunman opened fire at an elementary school in Uvalde on Tuesday, killing 18 students and one teacher, Gov. Greg A...

11-25-22 Keeping Our Eyes on the Prize

Keeping Our Eyes on the Prize – Jonathan Brentner - https://www.jonathanbrentner.com/https/jonathan-brentner-g8fgsquarespacecom/config/2022/5/23/keeping-our-eyes-on-the-prize Looking beyond the mess in this world. As deception, government corruption, violence, and lawlessness increase in our world, it becomes difficult at times to hang on to our hope in Jesus’ imminent appearing. How do we keep our focus on the Rapture during these perilous times? Although this may sound a bit bizarre at first, a story about Israel’s first king provides encouragement for those of us weary of waiting for our “blessed hope.” Those familiar with King Saul know that he’s not a stellar example to follow. First Samuel 13 records his failure to wait for Samuel; his sin on this occasion became a critical turning point in his reign. The excuses that Saul gave to the prophet in defending his impatience on this occasion, however, reveal where his thinking went awry and conversely provide us wi...
