Six Reasons Why Every Christian Should Desire The Soon Return of Jesus The writings of the early Church Fathers (100 to 300 A.D.) reveal that one of the earliest prayers of the Church was “Maranatha!” (1 Corinthians 16:22). That word is actually an Aramaic phrase that means “Our Lord come!” This prayer expresses a fact that is confirmed by many other scriptures; namely, that the First Century Church had an ardent desire for the soon return of Jesus. A Waning of the Zeal The Twentieth Century Church seems to have lost that desire. Most professing Christians today do not pray “Maranatha!” They do not yearn for the return of the Lord. Instead of yearning, they are yawning. Christendom at large is caught up in apathy regarding the return of Jesus. And that is sad, for the Word says that the return of the Lord is our “Blessed Hope” (Titus 2:13). Also, we are constantly admonished in Scripture to watch for the Lord’s coming and to be ready. Jesus Himself said, “Be dressed in readiness, and keep your lamps alight… for the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not expect” (Luke 12:35,40). Paul exhorted Titus to live “looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and savior, Christ Jesus” (Titus 2:13). And as Paul faced death in prison, he wrote: “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.” — 2 Timothy 4:7-8 Think of it, Paul says that a special reward — “a crown of righteousness,” will be given to any person who lives his or her life loving the appearing of the Lord. Are you a candidate for this reward? Do you have a zealous yearning in your heart for the Lord’s soon return? Do you pray daily, “Maranatha!”? Looking for Jesus There are at least six reasons why every Christian should earnestly desire the soon return of Jesus: 1) Jesus: When Jesus returns He will get what He deserves — honor, glory and power. When He came the first time, He was repudiated by the Jews, rejected by His home town, and spurned by his family. He was persecuted by the religious leaders, betrayed by a friend, denied by another friend, deserted by His disciples, and mocked by the masses. He had no place to lay His head. His only possession was a robe. He was born in a stable, raised in poverty, nailed to a tree, and buried in a borrowed tomb. Today, people scoff at Him and ridicule Him. His name is used as a curse word. That is not what He deserves! It is going to be different when He returns. The first time He came as a gentle and helpless baby. He is going to return as a mighty warrior. He came the first time as a suffering lamb to die for the sins of the world, but He will return as a conquering lion who will pour out the wrath of God on those who have rejected the love, mercy and grace of God. His first coming was marked by compassion, humility, and a willingness to be judged and to die. He will return in triumph and in wrath to judge and make war against the enemies of God. He came the first time as a Servant; He is returning as a Monarch. Jesus was humiliated in history. I want to see Him vindicated and glorified in history. And He will be because His Father has promised Him that He will reign over all the earth (Psalm 2:7-9). He has also been promised that He will manifest His glory before His saints (Isaiah 24:21-23) and before the nations of the earth (Isaiah 66:18 & Psalm 22:27-31). Paul says He is returning “to be glorified in His saints… and to be marveled at among all who have believed” (2 Thessalonians 1:10). 2) Satan: When Jesus returns, Satan will receive what he deserves — defeat, dishonor and humiliation. I’m sick of Satan. I’m tired of his plots and schemes and lies and deceptions. I’m fed up with his sicknesses and temptations. I’m weary of his physical, emotional and spiritual pollution. I’m disgusted with his wrecking of marriages and homes. I loath his wars and terrorism. I despise His ceaseless attacks on the Church. I often feel like the martyrs portrayed in Revelation who cry out day and night before the throne of God, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood?” (Revelation 6:10) Like Isaiah, I want to cry out to God, “Oh, that You would rend the heavens and come down!” (Isaiah 64:1). The fate of Satan was sealed by the Cross, but his nefarious activities will not cease until the Lord returns. At that time, the Word says that God will deal with Satan decisively. Luke 18:7 says that God will vindicate His elect who cry out to Him day and night by providing them justice. Romans 16:20 says that Satan will be “crushed.” The book of Revelation says he will then be thrown into the lake of fire where he “will be tormented day and night forever and ever” (Revelation 20:10 — see also, Isaiah 14:12-17). But Satan doesn’t want to go to Hell alone. He’s working overtime to take as many people with him as he can. And I want that work stopped! I want Satan to get what he deserves. 3) The Creation: When Jesus returns, the creation will receive what it has been promised — restoration. The material universe was originally created in beauty and perfection. There were no poisonous plants or animals, nor were there any meat eating animals. There were no natural cataclysms like earthquakes and tornados. Mankind lived in perfect harmony with nature. But when Man rebelled against God, one of the consequences of his sin was that God placed a curse on the creation. Poisonous plants and animals suddenly appeared. The animal kingdom turned against itself and Man as some of the animals became meat eaters. And the natural cataclysms began to take their toll. Man now had to strive against nature to survive. But the moment God placed the curse on the creation, He promised that one day it would be lifted through “the seed of woman” (Genesis 3:15). That promise is repeated throughout the Scriptures. For example, in Isaiah 11, the prophet says that when the Messiah comes to reign, “the wolf will dwell with the lamb” and “the lion will eat straw like the ox.” He further states that “the nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra” because the snake will no longer be poisonous. Paul reaffirms this promise in the New Testament in the eighth chapter of Romans. He pictures the whole creation as being like a pregnant woman gripped by birth pains, crying out for the moment of delivery. He says that moment will come when “the sons of God are revealed.” In other words, it will occur at the resurrection when the Lord returns (Romans 8:18-23). On the day the Lord returns, the earth will be renovated by earthquakes and supernatural phenomena in the heavens (Revelation 6:12-17). The result will be a refreshed and beautified earth. The destructive forces of nature will be curtailed. Deserts will bloom. The plant and animal kingdoms will be redeemed. Poisonous plants and animals will cease to be poisonous. The carnivorous animals will become herbivorous. All of nature will cease to strive against itself. Instead, it will work together harmoniously to the benefit of Man. (Isaiah 11:6-9; Isaiah 35:1-10; Isaiah 65:17-25; Acts 3:19-21; and Romans 8:18-23) 4) The Nations: When Jesus returns, the nations will receive what they have been promised — peace, righteousness and justice. Mankind has dreamed of world peace throughout history. Disarmament treaties have been negotiated, peace treaties have been signed, international organizations have been created, but true peace has remained elusive. The Bible says that permanent world peace will never be achieved until the Prince of Peace, the Messiah, returns. Both Isaiah and Micah prophesied that when the Lord returns, the nations “will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks” and that “nation will not lift up sword against nation, and never again will they train for war” (Isaiah 2:4 and Micah 4:3). The hope of the world for peace will never be realized in summit conferences between heads of state. The only hope is the return of Jesus who will rule the world with “a rod of iron” (Psalm 2:9 and Revelation 2:26-27). 5) The Jews: When Jesus returns, the Jews will receive what they have been promised — salvation and primacy. God has made many wonderful promises to His chosen people, the nation of Israel. Most of these are unfulfilled and will not be fulfilled until a remnant of the Jews turn to Jesus and accept Him as their Messiah. The prophetic scriptures tell us this will happen at the end of the Tribulation when the Jews who are left alive have come to the end of themselves and decide to turn to God. Zechariah says this remnant will “look upon Him whom they have pierced and will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only son” (Zechariah 12:10). The prophet also says that on that day of repentance, “a fountain of salvation will be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for impurity” (Zechariah 13:1). This believing remnant will then be regathered to the land of Israel to receive the blessings that God has promised the nation. Those incredible blessings are described in great detail in chapters 60 through 62 of Isaiah. God’s Shekinah glory will return (Is. 60:2) to a rebuilt Temple (Is. 60:7). The nations will send all kinds of assistance (Is. 60:10), including their wealth (Is. 60:5). The land of Israel will be reclaimed (Is. 60:13), the nation will receive respect (Is. 60:15), the people will enjoy peace (Is. 60: 18), and the Messiah will live in their presence (60:13,19). All the ruins will be rebuilt (Is. 61:4) and the land will be filled with joy (Is. 61:7-8) and praise (Is. 61:10-11). The nation will be a beacon of righteousness, and its glory will be witnessed all over the world (Is. 62:1-3). To sum it up, Isaiah says the nation of Israel will be “a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of God” (Is. 62:3). In effect, the world will be turned upside down regarding its relationship to the Jews. Today the Jewish people are despised and persecuted. They are the butt of jokes and ridicule. But a day is coming when all that will cease. Zechariah says that during the Lord’s millennial reign the Jewish people will be so honored that when a Jew walks by, ten Gentiles will grab his clothing and say, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you” (Zechariah 8:23). 6) The Saints: Some of the promises to the Saints — to those who are member’s of the Lord’s Church — will be fulfilled at the time of the Rapture. At the Rapture, the dead in Christ will be resurrected and the living will be translated to meet Him in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18). It is at this time that both the living and dead in Christ will receive their glorified bodies. These will be immortal, perfected bodies — like the body that Jesus had after His resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:42-53 and Philippians 3:21). When Jesus returns to this earth, the Saints will come with Him and will witness His glorious victory over the Antichrist and his forces (Revelation 19:11-21). The Saints will then receive what they have been promised — a redeemed earth and ruling power over the nations (Matthew 5:5 and Revelation 2:26-27). Chicago gets ‘weird’ for DNC with abortion trucks, inflatable IUD and free vasectomies, conservatives say ‘We'll see the craziest of the crazy at the DNC,’ comedian Tim Young says 8/20/2024 Planned Parenthood Great Rivers of St. Louis is offering free abortion medication and vasectomies inside a "mobile health clinic" parked in Chicago during the convention. Since former President Trump picked Sen. JD Vance as his running mate last month, many Democrats have attacked the Republican candidates as "weird," an attack line that has been repeated ad nauseam by Harris surrogates and media allies. "Even if you're pro-choice, abortion isn't something that anyone ever takes lightly," Young continued. "It's never a light subject, and definitely not something that you get done curbside next to a truck selling falafel." The Planned Parenthood location noted that there is a waiting list for vasectomies during their time at the convention. Young added that "a man who would think, ‘Oh, I could get a discount on a vasectomy if it hit the truck outside of the DNC,’ is also weird." Young recently mocked the DNC on X, snarking that it’s "for totally normal people to get abortions and vasectomies like they're going to a taco truck. "Providing free abortions at the DNC is a concerning display of disrespect towards human life and motherhood, as it overlooks the need to provide support and options for a pregnant woman. We expect no less from Planned Parenthood. It's just shameful how low Democrats have sunk," Democrats For Life executive director Kristen Day posted on X. Olympics Chief: No Way to Tell: No ‘solid’ way to distinguish a man from a woman – IOC chief Thomas Bach has stood by his committee’s decision to clear for competition two boxers at the center of a gender eligibility controversy August 10, 2024 International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach said on Friday he is not aware of a ‘scientifically solid’ way to distinguish a man from a woman, defending the body’s decision to allow two boxers whose gender eligibility has been disputed to take part in the women’s boxing championship. Bach’s words came in response to a question about whether the IOC would consider reviewing its gender identification guidelines in light of the controversy surrounding a pair of boxers, Algerian Imane Khelif and Taiwanese Lin Yu-ting, being allowed to take part in the Games as women despite previous allegations that they are actually biologically male. We have said from the very beginning, if somebody is presenting us with a scientifically solid system how to identify men and women, we are the first ones to do it. We do not like this uncertainty,” Bach stated, adding that chromosome testing is not enough to scientifically distinguish between men and women “anymore.” He noted also that “it is not possible” for the IOC to make its decisions based on “someone saying this is not a woman just by looking” or “by falling prey to a defamation campaign by a not credible organization with highly political interest.” AntiChrist and Islam: A False Jesus & Islamic Eschatology The purpose of this video is to educate Christians on what the false religion of Islam believes with regard to Jesus and the end times. John MacArthur explains in depth Islamic eschatology and their false views of Jesus. James White backs him up proving to an actual Muslim, Imam Muhammad Musri, that Jesus is God. I’m hoping this video brings to light this false view of the Lord thereby bringing Him glory and honor. I’m also hoping this can provide my fellow believers with knowledge that can equip them in their evangelistic endeavors to Muslims or any other false religion. The hour is getting late, and Christians MUST BE on their guard! MUST WATCH! God Taken over by AI - This is Crazy  September 22, 2023 Microchips implanted in our brains and artificial intelligence much smarter than humans. It sounds like a science fiction novel, but could such technological advances really be imminent? That question seems to keep repeating itself. It's reminiscent of the final scene in the 2004 movie The Aviator when Howard Hughes (portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio) looks into a mirror and keeps saying, "The way of the future" over and over again. As The Movie Blog explained in 2020, "The final scene makes it clear that Hughes has a long and difficult life ahead of him." But what about humanity and the advancement of technology? Do we have a long and difficult battle ahead? One author says it appears to be an unavoidable part of our timeline. The founder members of BRICS face a historic decision as they attempt to reshape the world order Expanding the membership and working towards financial independence from the West are two important challenges to be discussed at the Johannesburg summit August 21, 2023  About 20 countries are reportedly seeking admission to the five-member organization and the list of countries that will be represented at the meeting in South Africa is three times as long. This is a sign of the times and points to two things: the yearning of many non-Western nations to become more consequential to how the world is run, and the growing pushback against self-serving Western dominance in global politics, economics, finance, and the media. This does not mean, however, that BRICS (an acronym made up of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) will have an easy run in reshaping the world order. Ahead of the Johannesburg summit, two issues emerged as the main challenges to the group’s further evolution. One is expanding membership. A number of countries from all over the globe have lined up at BRICS' door, ready to walk in. These include Algeria, Argentina, Bangladesh, Belarus, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cuba, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The other challenge for the bloc is coming up with new financial instruments to reduce the non-Western economies’ dependence on the dollar. Washington’s weaponization of its currency in its Hybrid War against Russia and its concurrent manipulation of trade and technology against China have made the issue urgent. Western restrictions have hampered the activities of the BRICS’ New Development Bank. Calls have been made for the group to create a common currency, to break the dollar's monopoly in world finance. Yet, it is self-evident that creating a reserve currency for five very different economies, of which China accounts for two-thirds of the combined nominal GDP of the group, will run up against the jealously guarded principle of national sovereignty. The original goal of achieving financial independence will not be met. Is America Doomed? August 8, 2023  Is time running out for America? Throughout human history, great civilizations have risen and fell, and many believe that the U.S. will be no exception. At this point, we have already drifted so far from our core values that our founders would not even be able to recognize the Republic that they once established if they were alive today. Of course most Americans realize that something has gone horribly wrong, but most of them also believe that sending the right people to Washington is the answer. But is that really the solution to what ails us? Over the next year there will be endless campaigning as the upcoming election approaches, but meanwhile our society is being ripped to shreds right in front of our eyes. In Chicago, predators literally roam the streets in their vehicles in the middle of the day looking for someone to attack. When a suitable target is identified, brutal violence often ensues. In the old days, thieves would at least wait until the cover of night to go out and do their thing. But now there is very little fear of the police. There are more than 1,000 identifiable gangs in the city of Chicago today, and mafia-style killings have become quite common…READ MORE: Biblical illiteracy is setting the stage for world's deception by the Antichrist AUGUST 08, 2023 Prominent pastor and author Michael Youssef has warned that many churches today are failing to teach the whole Gospel or equip Christians with biblical knowledge, setting the stage for the world to be deceived by the Antichrist. In an interview with The Christian Post, the 74-year-old pastor of the Church of the Apostles in Atlanta, Georgia, homed in on the increasing biblical illiteracy prevalent among professing Christians, something he sees as the “great problem with the Church in America.” “Biblical illiteracy is rampant, and people are going to fall for deception, for false teachings, for anything, because they're not grounded in the Word of God,” he said. The world is really being prepared for the Antichrist,” he said. “But when the Antichrist comes and deceives the world, we have no discernment because we do not know the words of Jesus.” He referenced Jesus’ teachings in Matthew 24 and 25 to identify signs of the End Times and the Antichrist. He described the Antichrist as a “man of peace; a smart, slick politician who's going to make everybody feel good about him.” READ MORE: Atheism’s obsession with God: Is it ‘cultural theism’? AUGUST 04, 2023  The amount of time that atheists dedicate to God is a bewildering paradox. They write massive books. They are constantly appearing on podcasts, video blogs, and platforms to discuss God. This obsession seems unjustifiable. How can so much time be spent denying a being that doesn’t exist? Couldn’t that precious time be utilized for solving humanitarian crises? In 2006, an atheist published a lengthy book claiming that God is a delusion, with an arrogant comment that a religious believer who read it would become an atheist. Then in 2019, he wrote a copious guide on how to outgrow God. If God was already established as a delusion, why waste time instructing on how to outgrow Him? Perhaps G. K. Chesterton was right, “If there were no God, there would be no atheists.” The atheist preoccupation with God doesn’t seem to be sensible. The term “atheist” should be replaced by a more befitting term. God remains compelling and so atheism prefers to deny Him at every opportunity because it desires a world without Him. It’s not strictly about science, reason, or evidence (I have argued this point elsewhere). “I want atheism to be true and am made uneasy by the fact that some of the most intelligent and well-informed people I know are religious believers. It isn’t just that I don’t believe in God and, naturally, hope that I am right in my belief. It’s that I hope there is no God! I don’t want there to be a God; I don’t want the universe to be like that.” "Better wake up" Fresno Lab: China's Operation to Exterminate Americans August 3, 2023 Prestige BioTech, a Nevada company fronting for parties in China, was caught operating an "unlicensed laboratory" in Reedley, California in March. State and Fresno County officers raided the facility, and the FBI and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have since been participating in the investigation. The illegal operation housed white lab mice—773 live and more than 175 dead—that were genetically engineered to carry disease. Authorities also found medical waste and chemical, viral, and biological agents. There were on site at least 20 potentially infectious pathogens including those causing coronavirus, HIV, hepatitis, and herpes. The lab is "mysterious," as the California Globe news site proclaimed. We know enough, however, to be alarmed. The lab was supposed to be producing COVID-19 and pregnancy tests, but the facility contained items inconsistent with that explanation. The seizures at the lab strongly suggest China's regime is preparing to spread diseases in America, undoubtedly in the months before a war. General Chi Haotian, when he was China's defense minister two decades ago, reportedly gave a secret speech advocating the extermination, by disease, of Americans. His plan was to clear out the hills, plains, and valleys of North America so that the Chinese people could settle in the vast spaces left uninhabited. Since then, the mass murder of Americans has been a popular theme in Chinese society. The Communist Party, which tightly controls discourse in the People's Republic of China, permits and even encourages incitement to kill Americans. "We are ahead of schedule in terms of overtaking the United States," said prominent Chinese sociologist Li Yi in a public speech in late 2020, after talking about the devastation caused by COVID-19 to America. "There will be no problem reaching this goal in 2027. The U.S. will not survive." Then he added this, to make clear he was not merely making a prediction: "As long as we go to work every day, we will drive the U.S. to its death." "The problem with the report of the Chi Haotian speech is that it cannot be verified," Richard Fisher of the International Assessment and Strategy Center told this author. "When it was revealed in 2005, it seemed fantastical that China would unleash biological warfare against the United States to massacre its population and pave the way for a Communist Party invasion, occupation, and exploitation." https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/19858/prestige-biotech-china Beware: Change in Currency Coming Establishment Economists Are Finally Realizing It’s Time To Pay The Piper  The latest US bank failures seem to be ringing their bell the past couple of months, that’s for sure. In a survey managed by the World Economic Forum, over 80% of chief economists now say that central banks “face a trade-off between managing inflation and maintaining financial sector stability.” They now warn that price pressures look likely to remain higher for longer and they predict a prolonged period of higher interest rates that will expose further frailties in the banking sector, potentially compromising the capacity of central banks to rein in inflation. This is a HUGE reversal from their original message of a magical soft landing. Imagine that. The very thing alternative economists including myself have been “ranting” about for years, the very thing they used to say was “conspiracy theory” or Chicken Little doom mongering, is now accepted as fact by a majority of surveyed economists. But where does this leave us? After acceptance usually comes panic. The credit crunch is just beginning and the absorbing of the insolvent First Republic Bank into JP Morgan is a median step to a larger crash. The expectation is that the Federal Reserve will step in to dump more stimulus into the system to keep it afloat, but it’s too late. My position has always been that the central banks would deliberately initiate a liquidity crisis through steady interest rate hikes. This has now happened. The World Economic Forum report for May outlines this dynamicto a point, but what it doesn’t mention is that there are extensive benefits attached to the coming crisis for the elites. For example, major banks like JP Morgan will be able to snatch up smaller failing banks for pennies on the dollar, just like they did during the Great Depression. And, globalist institutions like the WEF will get their “Great Reset,” which they hope will frighten the public into adopting even more financial centralization, social controls, digital currencies and a cashless society. For the average concerned citizen out there, this narrative change matters because it’s a signal that things are about to get much worse. When the establishment itself is openly acknowledging that gravity exists and that we are falling instead of flying, it’s time to get ready and take cover. They never admit the truth unless the worst case scenario is right around the corner. One Step Closer To NWO Project Icebreaker: The Beginning Of A One World Digital Currency System?  There has been extensive discussion in the past couple of years within alternative media circles about the dangers of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs); a currency framework very similar to blockchain based products like Bitcoin but directly controlled by central bankers. It’s a threat that some analysts including myself have been writing about for more than a decade, so it’s good to finally see the issue being addressed more in the mainstream. The Orwellian nature of CBDCs cannot be overstated. In a cashless society most people would be dependent on digital products for exchanging goods and labor, and this would of course mean the end of all privacy in trade. Everything you buy or sell or work for in your life would be recorded, and this lack of anonymity could be used to stifle your freedoms in the future. For example, say you like to eat steak regularly, but the increasingly authoritarian government decides to list red meat as a health risk and a “climate change risk” due to carbon emissions from cows. They determine by your purchase history (which they have full access to) that you have contributed more carbon pollution than most people by eating red meat often. They declare that you must pay a retroactive carbon tax on your past purchases of red meat. Not only that, but your insurance company sends you a letter indicating that you are a medical risk and they cut off your health coverage. Products you consume and services you use can be tracked to create a psychological profile on you, which could then become a factor in determining your social credit score, just as CCP authorities do in China today. Maybe you refuse to purchase an annual mRNA booster shot, and the tracking algorithm makes a note of this. Now you are under suspicion for being “anti-vax” and your social credit score plummets, cutting you off from various public venues. Maybe you are even fired from your job. In the worst case scenario, though, economic access is the greatest oppressive tool. With CBDCs in place and no physical cash in existence, your savings will never be truly yours and you’ll never be able to hold your purchasing power in your hands. The means of exchange would be bottle-necked by the banks, and governments would have the option to freeze your ability to transact. If one day you get angry about a particular government policy and openly call the system corrupt on social media, they can simply shut off your option to transfer your digital money to others until you submit, or die. AI- Part of an Upcoming System (of the Beast) Governance By Artificial Intelligence: The Ultimate Unaccountable Tyranny  It’s no secret that globalist institutions are obsessed with Artificial Intelligence as some kind of technological prophecy. They treat it as if it is almost supernatural in its potential and often argue that every meaningful industrial and social innovation in the near future will owe its existence to AI. The World Economic Forum cites AI as the singular key to the rise of what they call the “Fourth Industrial Revolution.” In their view, there can be no human progress without the influence of AI algorithms, making human input almost obsolete. This delusion is often promoted by globalist propagandists. For example, take a look at the summarized vision of WEF member Yuval Harari, who actually believes that AI has creative ability that will replace human imagination and innovation. Not only that, but Harari has consistently argued in the past that AI will run the world much better than human beings ever could. The globalists argue that AI will be everywhere – In business, in schools, in corporate operations, in scientific enterprises, and even within government. It MUST run everything. Why? They don’t really say why other than to make vague promises of incredible advancements and previously unimaginable benefits. To date, there have been no profound innovations produced by AI, but I suppose pro-AI propagandists will say that the golden age is “right around the corner.” Tide is Turning against Christianity: War on Jesus' name? Atheist group urges community to report 'illegal' Christian signs Atheists United head denies targeting Christianity, but says it's the 'only religion incapable of following the law' May 5, 2023 “Obviously, they have a motive. There’s a kingdom of darkness and a kingdom of light, and they’re working for the kingdom of darkness,” says Brent Farley, founder of Jesus Saves Signs, a ministry that works to spread the Gospel using signs placed on telephone poles and elsewhere around Southern California. Farley isn’t shy about how he views efforts by a local atheist group to take down his sign. “There’s a real battle at hand, there’s a real fight … for the Word of God, and it’s obvious, if you look at it through biblical times, what's happening,” Farley told The Christian Post Thursday. Led by executive director and activist Evan Clark, Atheists United is also behind a volunteer group called “Atheist Street Pirates,” whose stated mission is to “remove illegal religious signage” in communities around Southern California and other U.S. cities. Mark of the Beast - Economic Stranglehold  April 2, 2023 For decades, the U.S. dollar was the undisputed king of global currencies, but now dramatic changes are happening. China, Russia, India, Brazil, Saudi Arabia and other nations are making really big moves which will enable them to become much less dependent on the U.S. dollar in the years ahead. This is really bad news for us, because having the primary reserve currency of the world has enabled us to enjoy a massively inflated standard of living. Once we lose that status, our lifestyles will be much different than they are today. Unfortunately, most Americans don’t understand any of this. Even though our leaders have treated the stability of our currency with utter contempt in recent years, most Americans just assume that the dollar will always reign supreme. Meanwhile, much of the planet is preparing for a future in which the U.S. dollar will be far less important than it is right now. The following are 7 signs that global de-dollarization has just shifted into overdrive… #1 The BRICS nations account for over 40 percent of the total global population and close to one-fourth of global GDP. So the fact that they are working to develop a “new currency” should greatly concern all of us… #2 Two of the BRICS nations, China and Brazil, have just “reached a deal to trade in their own currencies”… #3 During a meeting last week in Indonesia, finance ministers from the ASEAN nations discussed ways “to reduce dependence on the US Dollar, Euro, Yen, and British Pound”… #3 An official meeting of all ASEAN Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors kicked off on Tuesday (March 28) in Indonesia. Top of the agenda are discussions to reduce dependence on the US Dollar, Euro, Yen, and British Pound from financial transactions and move to settlements in local currencies. #4 In a move that has enormous implications for the “petrodollar”, Saudi Arabia just agreed to become a “dialogue partner in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization” #5 The Chinese just completed their very first trade of liquefied natural gas that was settled in Chinese currency instead of U.S. dollars… #6 The government of India is offering their currency as an “alternative” to the U.S. dollar in international trade… #7 Saudi Arabia has actually agreed to accept Kenyan shillings as payment for oil shipments to Kenya instead of U.S. dollars… Evangelical leaders in US, Israel praise Netanyahu for stopping legislation to ban the Gospel in Israel March 31, 2023 An article on Sunday by ALL ISRAEL NEWS first broke the story of the dangerous bill in which two ultra-Orthodox members of Knesset – Moshe Gafni and Yaakov Asher – were determined to outlaw anyone from sharing the Gospel of Jesus the Messiah in Israel, and punish violators with prison sentences. Sam Brownback – former U.S. ambassador for international religious freedom in the Trump-Pence administration – was the first American leader to publicly sound the alarm about what a threat to religious freedom and human rights the bill posed. Brownback also became the first to praise Netanyahu for taking a strong stand against the bill. “Bibi Netanyahu is an amazing leader of courage,” Brownback told ALL ISRAEL NEWS in a text message on Wednesday. “I applaud his quick and decisive move to address what could have become a major issue.” What does the Bible say about the importance of the red heifer, the Third Temple and the coming of the Messiah? With the arrival of five red heifers to Israel, it’s time to talk about what this might mean and why it could matter ALL ISRAEL NEWS was one of two outlets that initially covered a story intriguing to religious Jews, Messianic Jews and Evangelical Christians who believe that the Third Temple must be built in Jerusalem before the coming – or Second Coming – of the Messiah. “Five rabbi-approved red heifers arrived from Texas on Thursday to a ceremonious welcome at Ben-Gurion Airport – and touched off a whirlwind of speculation as to the prophetic significance of their presence in Israel and whether we are barreling toward a Third-Temple period or the ‘last days,’” Throughout the Old and New Testaments, the prophets spoke of another Temple – a Third Temple – that would be built in the “last days” of history. After the prophetic rebirth of Israel in May 1948 – and the subsequent reunification of Jerusalem under Jewish Israeli sovereign control in June 1967 – many religious Jews – as well as Christians – began speculating as to when the Third Temple could be built, and praying for it to happen in their lifetime. And thus, many have wondered when a ritually pure red heifer would emerge that could be sacrificed in preparation for the building and operation of that Third Temple. READ MORE: Anyone Awake? Rabbis ask Netanyahu to allow Passover sacrifice on Temple Mount during Ramadan Jerusalem police is vigilant, as Temple Mount activists are urging Jews to offer biblical Passover sacrifice at the holy site. April 2, 2023 Fifteen rabbis have asked the Israeli government on Thursday to ascend the Temple Mount and al-Haram al-Sharif next Wednesday, when the Jewish holiday of Passover begins, a move that could exacerbate tensions in Jerusalem during the ongoing Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
The rabbis have put a request to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir on Thursday to ascend to the Temple Mount and for Jews to be allowed to offer the Passover, the way it was practiced in biblical times.
Over the years, a majority of rabbis has ruled that Jews are not allowed to ascend the Temple Mount site, since purification rituals cannot be performed in times when the temple is destroyed. Most rabbis also object to reviving biblical sacrifices of lambs or goats. Still, far-right religious activists have registered a clear trend in recent years of an increase in the number of Jews ascending the Temple Mount compound. The calls for a Passover sacrifice come on the backdrop of especially high tensions in Jerusalem this year, as Ramadan and Passover overlap. Traditionally, Jerusalem police limits the entry to the site for Jews during Ramadan in order to minimize frictions, especially in the last 10 days of the holy Muslim month. The fact that Ben-Gvir, who had called over the years for Jews to ascend Temple Mount, is currently responsible for Israel's police, seems to aggravate the already volatile situation. Ben-Gvir’s wife is a known Temple Mount activist.
Amputated Toes Grow Back? Skeptics demand proof after megachurch pastor claims prayer regrew woman’s amputated toes March 25, 2023  A Missouri megachurch is facing criticism and demands for evidence after reporting an alleged miracle in which a woman's amputated toes were said to have regrown after a prayer session. John Lindell, the pastor at James River Church in the Springfield area, claimed during a livestream last Wednesday that a "creative miracle" occurred the previous day at the Joplin campus of James River Church, where Kristina Dines saw her amputated toes grow back. The church organized a "Week of Power." The alleged healing occurred as guest Pastors Bill Johnson and Randy Clark led services. Johnson is a well-known charismatic pastor at Bethel Church in Redding, California, which runs a School of Supernatural Ministry. Lindell said Dines, a mother of four, had to undergo the amputation of three toes after her ex-husband shot her three times in 2015. She was reportedly in a coma for two months. Her injuries included the need to have three toes amputated. ... Kelly, who serves on the prayer team, told her that the Lord wanted to grow her toes back tonight. So, Kelly had her take off her shoe and anointed where each of the toes would be and began to pray," Lindell said. "The skin began to change color. Pretty soon, there was a pulse in the foot that she could feel. All of a sudden, Krissy said, 'Are you kidding me?' And they saw the toes begin to grow." "It took about 30 minutes, but they saw the bone come, wrapped in flesh," Johnson told his congregation. "And by morning, the toenails, everything had formed; she got three brand new toes." On his Friendly Atheist blog, Hermant Mehta wrote, "Don't bother looking for video of the forming toes. No one decided to break out their phones to document this medical miracle. We're just supposed to take her word for it." He added: "For a church that clearly has a state-of-the-art video production team, it's baffling that no one seems to have captured any of this on film. Nor are there any doctors who can attest to what her toes looked like last week versus this week. (For many reasons, I'm not about to believe the unnamed doctor who apparently examined those toes)." Utah parent demands school library remove Bible, cites Jesus' words as 'pornographic' March 25, 2023 With a list citing verses from Genesis to Revelation, a Utah parent is calling for the Word of God to be removed from a high school library for being "pornographic." A request filed on Dec. 11, 2022, with the Davis School District, located just north of Salt Lake City, calls the Bible "one of the most sex-ridden books around" and, therefore, violates Utah state code, The Salt Lake Tribune reported this week. According to a copy of the request obtained by The Tribune, which has since been taken down, the parent — whose name, address and contact information were not disclosed for privacy concern"Incest, onanism, bestiality, prostitution, genital mutilation, fellatio, dildos, rape, and even infanticide," the parent was quoted as writing in the request. "You'll no doubt find that the Bible, under Utah Code Ann. § 76-10-1227, has 'no serious values for minors' because it's pornographic by our new definition." The code referenced in the request defines pornographic and harmful materials as those which include a "description or depiction of illicit sex or sexual immorality" or a "nude or partially denuded figure." s — specifically asked for the Bible to be removed at Davis High School in Kaysville, about 15 miles north of Salt Lake City. The parent also included with the request a list of more than 130 passages from Scripture that the parent described as offensive. https://www.christianpost.com/news/utah-parent-demands-school-library-remove-bible.html?clickType=link-most-popular One World Religion Move The Abrahamic Family House of H.

Heading down a downhill slope to a World Reset 'PERFECT STORM': UN chief warns of global economic disaster January 18 I hope you are wide awake friends. The Mark of the Beast will come sooner than we have believed. 63% of chief economists warned a global recession 'likely' or 'extremely likely' in a World Economic Forum survey "We are looking into the eye of a Category 5 hurricane. Our world is plagued by a perfect storm on a number of fronts," Guterres said at the World Economic Forum Wednesday. "Start with the short term, the global economic crisis. The outlook, as we all know, is bleak. Many parts of the world face recession and the entire world faces a slowdown. And we see deepening inequalities and the rapidly unfolding cost of living crisis affecting women and girls the most. Supply chain disruptions and an energy crunch, soaring prices." Guterres further elaborated his fears over the "perfect storm" hitting the world on "Mornings with Maria" Wednesday. "I'm worried with the fact that we have a combination of things that are all interlocked and that have negative synergies," he said. The World is focusing on Jerusalem: Fight over Jerusalem's Temple Mount holy site: Why is it so important to Jews, Muslims and Christians? Jan 4, 2023 The controversial firebrand Ben-Gvir tweeted a picture of himself on the Temple Mount with security officials, writing, "The Israeli government of which I am a member will not surrender to a vile organization of murderers. The Temple Mount is open to all and if Hamas thinks that if it threatens me, that will deter me, they had better understand that times have changed. There is a government in Jerusalem." Israel has declared all of Jerusalem its indivisible capital. Palestinians want East Jerusalem, where the Temple Mount is situated, as their capital of an independent a state along with the absorption of the disputed West Bank territory. According to Jewish tradition, the 3,000-year-old Temple Mount is the location where God collected dust to create Adam—the first human being. The Temple Mount is also holy for Jews because it is the location where Abraham almost sacrificed his son Isaac to affirm his faith. The Jewish King Solomon built the First Temple of the Jews at the site. Muslims also term the Temple Mount the Haram al-Sharif, the Noble Sanctuary, where the Al-Aqsa Mosque and Dome of the Rock are located. The founder of Islam, Prophet Muhammed is, according to tradition, said to have ascended to heaven from the Noble Sanctuary. The Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas, which was designated a foreign terrorist entity by the U.S. and European Union and rules the Gaza Strip, warned the "continuation of this behavior will bring all parties closer to a big clash." Hamas threatened a "religious war" against Israel in September 2022, after Jewish activists visited the Temple Mount. Rabbi Yishai Fleisher, an advisor to Ben-Gvir, told Fox News Digital, "Freedom to pray at one's holy sites is a basic human right - and that is why Minister Ben-Gvir visited the Temple Mount today. The fact that Jews are barred from praying or condemned for ascending is racist and discriminatory. This government has shown today that it will not be held hostage to terrorist threats - and will promote the values of religious freedom and freedom of expression for all." One Mind- One World Order : Secret societies: Harmless members-only clubs or dire threats to democracy?  A curious feature of our modern times is the number of secret societies operating in our midst, setting the global agenda behind closed doors Former singer-songwriter and winner of The X Factor Australia, Altiyan Childs, for example, shared a five-hour video where he proclaims that nearly every Western institution has been infiltrated by the Freemasons, to the point where it is nearly impossible to rise to high office – from the world of entertainment to politics and everything in between – without the silent nod of this international fraternity. That video has been viewed nearly four million times.
While it may be easy to laugh off such outlandish claims based on the ‘Illuminati’ and other such groups, there are other societies that make no secret about their secrecy and have a much more tangible claim to controlling the world. If there were a reigning king of secret societies today, the title would undoubtedly go to the World Economic Forum. Founded in 1971 by the German engineer and economist Klaus Schwab, the foundation, which brings together the top 1,000 most powerful corporations in the world, views its mission as "improving the state of the world by engaging business, political, academic, and other leaders of society to shape global, regional, and industry agendas." Democratic procedure doesn’t seem to have a place in this formula. As the author and social critic Nick Buxton described the annual confab, held in the mountains of Davos, Switzerland, “this unaccountable invitation-only gathering is increasingly where global decisions are being taken and moreover is becoming the default form of global governance.” Schwab has gone on record as saying that “the sovereign state has become obsolete,” and that in order to fill the power void there needs to be a “global issue alliance” apparently with himself at the helm. Not only does Davos serve as an elitist cocktail party for “improving the state of the world” far from the prying eyes of humanity, it also works to “penetrate” governments around the world with their self-taught protégé. We are flat losing it: Transgender 'bill of rights' would erase women Democrats' Trans Bill of Rights guts protections and programs for biological women July 20,2022  More than 80 House Democrats recently introduced a resolution they call the Trans Bill of Rights. The authors claim it will ensure that transgender and nonbinary people are, as a lead sponsor Rep. Marie Newman put it, "free to live as their authentic self." In practice, the Trans Bill of Rights guts protections and programs for biological women. Every American must now decide: do I support this vision of trans rights, or do I stand for women’s rights? It is impossible to support both because they are in direct conflict. The press materials promoting the Trans Bill of Rights focus on the idea of inclusivity, personal fulfillment, and preventing the bullying and mistreatment of LGBTQ+ and gender-nonconforming communities, all of which sounds very nice. Of course, Americans oppose bullying and want everyone treated with kindness and respect. But the Trans Bill of Rights isn’t just a feel-good statement of support or warning against bullying. It has serious legal implications — particularly for women. We already see this happening today. Female athletes around the country are being forced to compete against physically-advantaged biological males. NCAA Swimmer Lia Thomas is the most notorious example, with the NCAA just last week selecting Lia as the "female athlete of the year." https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/transgender-bill-of-rights-would-erase-women?dicbo=v2-fb9d189c23931f96f4a1bcb8f4d22418 Orchestrated Global Food Crisis has started: The Coming Food Crisis Is Man-made; the Globalists’ Agenda Against Farmers and Fertilizer Protests have broken out in the Netherlands, where the government has begun restricting agriculture in a push to reduce nitrogen use. This follows a broader global trend, where governments are placing restrictions on farmers and fertilizers under claims of fighting global warming. And meanwhile, Sri Lanka serves as an example of where these policies could lead, where restrictions on fertilizers caused food shortages that are now sparking riots. WATCH THIS EYE OPENING VIDEO: Christian Population Will Be Erased Soon? Church Warning Says Many At Risk of Persecution June 20,2022 An intentional strategy is being done to weaken, silence, or completely erase the Christian population from some parts of the world. According to Christian Today, one of the key findings in The Church on the Run: Internally Displaced Person (IDP) and Refugee Report 2022 by charity Open Doors stated, "While displacement is sometimes perceived as an unintentional by-product of persecution, in many instances, it is intentional and can be part of a wider strategy to completely eradicate Christianity from the village, region or country. In some instances, the strategy is overt and public, in others it is covert and informal," There was also a story in the report about a 47-year-old Iranian pastor who was forced to get away with his family after local authorities were constantly harassing them. Their home was raided in January 2021, where Bibles, mobile phones, and other personal possessions were confiscated. This was then followed by a summon for the pastor to be questioned, where he was interrogated for eight straight hours and threatened to serve in prison for a long time. More so, Christian pastors and their families were also forced to leave their homes in India after "intense" harassment from their local community. Condemned for allegedly forcing others to be converted, "they were arrested, physically attacked and threatened over their church activities," which led them to no other option but to flee. Iraq was an example of this situation, which was once a community flourishing with over one million Christians but has now plummeted to 166,000. "Everyone is slowly leaving. It happens quietly, but it is happening every day. People pack up their things, lock their doors, and leave behind their entire lives," Shoot them in Jesus' Name: Alabama church gunman drank alcohol moments before opening fire, survivor says June 20, 2022 A survivor of the shooting during a potluck dinner at an Episcopal church in Alabama that left three dead recalled that the suspected gunman sat alone and rejected invitations to socialize before the killing started. St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Vestavia Hills was hosting a "Boomers Potluck" for older attendees when the suspect, who authorities identified as 70-year-old Robert Findlay Smith, produced a handgun and began shooting. The man is a formerly licensed federal gun dealer cited by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms on Feb. 7, 2018, for shoddy recordkeeping. According to authorities, he's now facing capital murder charges for the deaths of one man and two women related to the shooting incident. New World Order shaping up ARE THE GLOBAL ELITE PREPARING THEIR FINAL PLAN? While the world appears to be falling apart, the global elite have been busy scheming for a final plan of world dominance. Headed by Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum, the elite are planning to track and control humanity. In the past they tried to keep their plans hidden, but with all the chaos they themselves brought, they appear unafraid to announce their plans. One speaker in Davos this year told the audience that international agencies were preparing to track a person’s carbon emissions and y doing so they would be able to track when and where that person had gone. Beyond that, the same technology can track what the person is eating in order to determine how much the person consumes. From seizing private property to rendering “wealth” obsolete, Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum is in the driver’s seat when it comes to total control.

ISRAEL HEEDS JOSEPH’S ADVICE; STOCKS UP ON WHEAT FOR UPCOMING FAMINE MAR 24, 2022  Citing fears of possible food shortages amid the Ukraine crisis, Israel’s transportation minister instructed that cargo ships importing grain and animal feed be given priority for unloading at the port docks over the next month. This solution of stocking up on grains before a predicted famine mirrors the Bible’s Joseph. Joseph, son of Jacob, was promoted to be the prince of Egypt after he interpreted Pharaoh’s dream of withering grain stocks devouring healthy ones as an imminent famine in Egypt. Joseph then advised Pharaoh to stock up on wheat to have enough reserves once the famine strikes. The State of Israel must safeguard its food security by strengthening our domestic agriculture. Taking steps to get the grain and fodder that Israeli agriculture relies on, the nation will quickly ensure that we maintain Israeli food security despite changes worldwide.” David Beasley, the UN World Food Program’s executive director, warned that the conflict in Ukraine could spark off a refugee crisis worse than any ever seen before and a global food crisis in a combination. He described it as “hell.” Nearly 2.8 Million Birds (Mostly Chickens And Turkeys) Have Died In The First Month Of America’s Raging New Bird Flu Pandemic March 9, 2022  On top of everything else, now a highly pathogenic avian influenza pandemic is ripping across the United States, and it has already resulted in the deaths of almost 2.8 million birds. Most of the birds that have died have been chickens or turkeys. And since this was just in the very first month of the pandemic, there is no telling how bad it could eventually become. What will the eventual death toll look like? Will it be in the tens of millions? That is definitely a possibility. And what would happen if the bird flu mutates into a version that spreads easily among humans? We might want to start thinking about that, because that is possible too. READ MORE: Christian Mich.

Stout's lawyer characterized the decision to suspend Stout by the district as a "blatant violation of the First Amendment." "They have no right to have a heckler's veto over speech or to stop it," Kallman said of the district. "David wasn't attacking any particular person.

THOUSANDS OF DOCTORS AND SCIENTISTS STAND UP TO EXPOSE THE TYRANNY OF COVID MANDATES (MUST WATCH VIDEOS) January 24, 2022 What is happening in the world is absolutely insane.

And now, 17,000 of them are uniting together to stand up against the COVID mandates, the FDA, the CDC, the media, the government, and anyone else trying to silence them. Humanity has been lied to by too many people that were “trusted.” Doctors and scientists have lied. Governments throughout the world have lied. People are being forced to wear masks when they shouldn’t be told what to do – and when many masks have been proven to do absolutely nothing anyway. People are being forced to vaccinate when everyone’s own health should be their OWN responsibility and not that of the government. If someone wants to get vaccinated, they can. And if someone does not want to be forced to take a vaccine, then they shouldn’t be kicked out of restaurants and gyms; they shouldn’t be treated as second-class citizens! "Train up a child in the way they should grow up" School district defends decision to allow After School Satan Club at elementary school  JANUARY 15, 2022 An Illinois school district is defending an elementary school after it received criticism from parents for handing out flyers promoting a controversial After-School Satan Club for students in the first through fifth grades sponsored by the Satanic Temple. “Hey Kids, let’s have fun at After School Satan Club,” read the flyer distributed by Jane Addams Elementary School in Moline, Illinois. The flyer says the program is about “science projects, puzzles and games, arts and crafts projects, nature activities.” The Satanic Temple says on its website: “Proselytization is not our goal, and we’re not interested in converting children to [s]atanism. After School Satan Clubs will focus on free inquiry and rationalism, the scientific basis for which we know what we know about the world around us… We prefer to give children an appreciation of the natural wonders surrounding them, not a fear of everlasting other-worldly horrors.” It is happening before our very eyes: Pope Francis praises nun who ran LGBT ministry  US Embassy at the Vatican Pontiff’s own stance on homosexuality wavers between conservative and liberal 8 Jan, 2022 Decades after she was barred from pastoral work by the Vatican, Pope Francis has sent a letter of thanks to an American nun who held services for LGBT people, in which she questioned some teachings of the Church. Francis has stood by this view, stating in 2020 that “homosexual people have a right to be in a family,” but should opt for civil partnerships instead of marriage. Two years earlier, he recommended that gay priests should stay out of the Church, saying “It’s better for them to leave the ministry or the consecrated life rather than to live a double life.” However, the pontiff has made several notable statements in support of the LGBT community. Back in 2013 he declared that “if a person is gay and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge?” Last summer he praised the work of Rev. James Martin, a Jesuit priest and gay rights campaigner who once ministered alongside Gramick, saying it “reflects the closeness of God.” The previous year he sent a letter of support to an Argentinian nun running a home for transgender women, declaring that the transgender are the “lepers of today.” Check this out: AMAZING IS OMICRON A MANUFACTURED CRISIS?

Messing with God's Work: Are motherless babies from artificial wombs the future we’re heading for? Nov 8, 2021  The ability to grow children independently from their mothers is currently the stuff of science fiction, but in our increasingly transhumanist, managerial world could they one day be a horrifying feature of reality? Artificial wombs are in fact a hot topic in predictive science news. While originally this ‘mad scientist’s dream’ may have been on a list of other crazy inventions dreamed up by an unfettered atomic-age imagination, for it to be trending nowadays seems more due to the progressive obsession with transhumanism and the escape from the bounds of ‘gender’ or traditional fertility. Exogenesis is the term for growing a baby outside the womb. The only non-horrifying aspect to this research is for the development of a prototype for gestating premature babies. But, sadly, in all cases where Western liberal science refers to exogenesis for premature babies, you will find the excited follow up: “and we might be able to do away with human wombs altogether.” All such plans, including the food industry’s Frankenstein laboratory attempts to ‘grow meat’ – tend to view life from a decidedly industrial lens. All life on earth, when viewed in purely materialist and quantifiable terms, has the potential to be treated like factory-farm hogs or hens. A matter of numbers, in a system of the purest practicality. Globalist food distributors would like nothing better than to grow living, oven-ready chicken nuggets in a giant lab. Perhaps they already do? Shock and Awe Coming: Confronting a Financial Assault on America's Future October 12, 2021  If the tragic day ever comes when America's global leadership is but a distant memory it will not be because of a nuclear strike, a searing pandemic, or even a crippling cyberattack. No. It will be from a self- inflicted mortal wound called "the deficit." Far more destructive than most Americans could ever imagine, the nation's multi-trillion dollar deficit now being advocated by progressive socialists in Congress would place our future on a collision course with catastrophic bankruptcy. Such an event would destroy the very foundation of our financial system, the savings of every hard-working middle class family, and our country's very ability to defend democracy. Which may just be the outcome some in Congress are seeking to achieve. Consider the enormity of the Senate's recent action to forestall our government's descent into bankruptcy. They needed to approve legislation to temporarily raise the federal government's $28.4 trillion debt limit and thereby avoid the risk of a devastating default. But that was just a temporary fix as a new deadline looms at the end of the year. Setting up the universal income system: The Next Financial Crisis Could Accelerate Prophetic Events October 2021  Since 1971, the U.S. government has been on a spending binge. In 1971, the U.S. national debt was $398 billion. Today, it's $27.8 trillion. That's an almost 70-fold increase in debt in the past 50 years. To fund this massive rise in debt, they've run the printing press. This means the value of a dollar has decreased significantly in the past 50 years. In 1971, an ounce of gold was $35. Today, an ounce of gold is $1,781. That's a 98% decline in the dollar's purchasing power. And before you attribute the rise in national debt to the declining purchasing power of the dollar, take a look at the debt relative to national income. In 1971, the U.S. debt to GDP ratio was 34%. Today, it's 127%. That's an almost four-fold increase in real terms, and it's a debt level many economists believe is unsustainable. As bad as this is, the United States isn't alone. In a world awash in fiat currency, debt to GDP ratios are terrible all over the globe. Japan's debt to GDP ratio is 256%. Canada's is 116%, and the United Kingdom's is 107%. The Eurozone alone is home to a number of troubled nations - Greece (181%), Portugal (132%), Italy (155%), France (115%), etc. Compounding the problem for these nations is they owe their debt in a fiat currency they can't print. The European Central Bank controls the euro, and that puts all these nations at potential risk of default if they can't make their debt payments. When the next economic downturn arrives, it will be in the form of a severe global depression. Unable to service their massive debts, many individuals and companies will default. Those defaults will leave the banking system on the verge of bankruptcy and politicians scrambling to put together another series of bailout packages. The government and central bank response to this crisis will be bigger than their response to the COVID-19 crisis. What will they do? They'll run the printing press. They'll bail out companies on the verge of bankruptcy. They'll buy stocks and corporate bonds. They'll backstop people's mortgage and student loan payments. They'll do anything and everything they can in an effort to avoid the inevitable economic pain. And then they'll institute something they've wanted for a long time - universal basic income.

The president of the commission that issued the report, Jean-Marc Sauve, said the estimate, based on scientific research, includes abuses committed by priests and others clerics as well as by non-religious people involved in the church. He said about 80% are male victims. "The consequences are very serious," Sauve said. "About 60% of men and women who were sexually abused encounter major problems in their sentimental or sexual life." The report says an estimated 3,000 child abusers -- two-thirds of them priests -- worked in the church during that period. Sauve said the overall figure of victims includes an estimated 216,000 people abused by priests and other clerics. Archeology Speaks : Archaeologists Find ‘Boat-Like Formation’ Matching The Bible’s Description About Noah’s Ark In Turkey SEP 30, 2021  Archaeologists reportedly found a "boat-like formation" matching the Holy Bible's description of Noah's ark in the mountains of Turkey. The Christian Headlines said the discovery was made by biblical archaeologists of the Noah's Ark Scans project using 3D scans. Meanwhile, The U.S. Sun said the team of archaeologists used a ground-penetrating radar to probe the location where the boat-like formation was found. Project Lead Andrew Jones disclosed that he believes the boat-like formation does match that of the Bible's Noah's ark. "This is not what you would expect to see if this site is just a solid block of rock or an accumulation of random debris from a mudflow. But these results are what you would expect to see if this is a man-made boat matching the Biblical requirements of Noah's Ark," According to the archeologists, the boat's length is exactly that of Noah's ark, which the Bible says is 300 cubits or roughly 150 meters. The discovery is regarded as ground-breaking since 3D scans have initially shown a man-made object beneath the mountain and investigators are hopeful it is the Ark of Noah. The Noah's Ark Scans project website revealed that the new GPR data present angular structures and parallel lines of "8 to 20 feet down." World's Religions coming Together: Abrahamic Family House (Temple) in Abu Dhabi to open in 2022  The cultural landmark in the UAE capital, which includes a synagogue, a church and a mosque, is meant to be a beacon of understanding and peaceful coexistence, inspired by the Document on Human Fraternity. The design of the Abrahamic Family House was first unveiled by Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, at a global gathering in New York in 2019, during the 2nd meeting of the HCHF. IT said the design was also presented to Pope Francis and the Grand Imam during a meeting with them in November that year. “The Abrahamic Family House epitomizes interfaith harmonious coexistence and preserves the unique character of each religion,” said Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, Chairman of the Department of Culture Abu Dhabi and an HCHF member. He said, “It personifies Abu Dhabi’s vision for human fraternity and embeds coexistence into the already diverse cultural fabric of the UAE. Overseeing the development of this iconic project is inspiring and reflective of the UAE efforts in realizing the values of the Document on Human Fraternity and fostering its lofty principles.” God is watching: Christian leaders slam Lutheran denomination's transgender bishop: a 'revolt' against God Al Mohler: "It's a new religion" altogether Christian leaders condemned the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America for its decision to install its first openly transgender bishop, calling the move a "subversion of the creation order" and proof that some mainline Protestant denominations have abandoned Christianity altogether. The ELCA installed its first openly transgender bishop, the Rev. Megan Rohrer, in a service at San Francisco's Grace Cathedral on Saturday, the Associated Press reported. Rohrer will lead one of the church's 65 synods, overseeing nearly 200 congregations in Northern California and northern Nevada. Rohrer, who has identified as lesbian, now reportedly identifies as non-binary and prefers to go by "they/them" pronouns. The biblical worldview begins with making distinctions. First, the distinction between God and His creation and then the distinction between human beings and other creatures and then, third, the distinction between male and female," Mohler explained, citing Genesis 1. "The entire transgender revolution is a revolt against the order of God in creation and God’s intention for humanity." Better start storing up water Saints!: 40 Million People Rely on the Colorado River, and Now It's Drying Up August 2021 The first-ever official shortage on the Colorado River is expected to be announced on Monday, Aug. 16. A shortage will mean mandatory cutbacks to some users in the Southwest and offers a stark warning of what's to come if conditions don't improve. Watch Shocking Video: Great River Euphrates Drying Up: Disaster looms in Syria as Euphrates dwindles Experts warn of an impending humanitarian catastrophe in northeast Syria, where waning river flow is rapidly waning. August 30, 2021  Syria’s longest river used to flow by his olive grove, but Khaled al-Khamees says it has now receded into the distance, parching his trees and leaving his family with hardly a drop to drink. “It’s as if we were in the desert,” said the 50-year-old farmer, standing on what last year was the Euphrates riverbed. “We’re thinking of leaving because there’s no water left to drink or irrigate the trees.” Aid groups and engineers are warning of a looming humanitarian disaster in northeast Syria, where waning river flow is compounding woes after a decade of war. They say plummeting water levels at hydroelectric dams since January are threatening water and power cutoffs for up to five million Syrians, in the middle of a coronavirus pandemic and economic crisis. READ MORE: Saints - start storing up water: America Is Drying Up - We Could Soon Be Facing Worst Water Crisis In US History  We all knew that this day was coming eventually. At first dropping water levels in the Southwest were an annoyance, then they became a problem, and now they have become a crisis. In fact, as you will see below, we are now potentially facing the worst water crisis in all of U.S. history if current trends continue. Supplies of water are extremely tight throughout the state, and we just learned that a "supply alert" has now been issued for southern California... Southern California's powerful water agency on Tuesday issued a supply alert, calling on the region to conserve vital resources and prepare for continued drought -- a move that brings the state's largest population center closer to the tough water restrictions imposed on communities elsewhere. Elsewhere, the crisis has become even more serious. Water levels in the once mighty Colorado River just keep dropping, and this is an enormous problem because so many major cities in the Southwest are deeply dependent on it... Today, this river system supplies 40 million people in seven western states and Mexico, and irrigates more than 5 million acres of farmland on its way into Mexico and the Gulf of California. Las Vegas relies on the river for 90% of its water supply, Tucson for 82% and San Diego for around 66%. Large portions of the water used in Los Angeles, Phoenix and Denver also come from the river, and experts say these booming metropolises would not have been possible without its supply. Without the Colorado River, the entire region would look completely different. There are two giant reservoirs that are particularly important. Unfortunately, water levels in both Lake Mead and Lake Powell have dropped to historically low levels... Lake Mead -- the largest manmade reservoir in the US, which is fed by the Colorado River -- recently sunk to its lowest levels since the lake was filled in the 1930s. Its water levels have fallen more than 146 feet since their peak in January of 2000, and the lake is now just 35% full. Lake Powell, the river's second largest reservoir, sits at 32% of its capacity. As water levels drop, billions of kilowatt hours of hydroelectricity that power homes from Nebraska to Arizona are also at risk. If water levels in Lake Mead and Lake Powell keep dropping, we are going to see things happen that would have once been unimaginable. https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=4923 We are in Trouble: What Is America Going To Look Like If This Continues?  You can’t have a civilization without civility. We may possess technology that is more advanced than any previous generation of Americans has had, but when it comes to how we treat one another and how we conduct ourselves, we are the worst generation in U.S. history by a very wide margin. We have truly become a “Hollywood culture”, and I don’t mean that in a good way. The average American spends 238 minutes a day watching television, and it is inevitable that putting so much garbage into our minds is going to result in garbage coming out. Most Americans learn how to express themselves by emulating what they see on their screens, and so now we have tens of millions of extremely crude people running around all over the place. Murder rates were way up all over the country last year, and they are way up again all over the country this year. We have become a brutal, violent, blood-soaked country, and that is because we have a brutal, violent, blood-soaked culture.

It also illegally collected social security numbers. The country’s personal information protection watchdog ordered Facebook to pay 6.4 billion won ($5.5 million) for the unauthorized use of user-image information for its automated facial recognition software between April 2018 and September 2019. Announcing the preliminary findings of its privacy probe on Wednesday, the Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) said Facebook had “preset consent” for the feature for new profiles created on the platform. The regulatory body also stated that users were prevented from revoking consent using the settings tool later. The social media giant was penalized another 26 million won ($22,000) for a number of violations, including obtaining resident registration numbers in an “illicit manner” and not issuing notices to users about changes to its privacy and personal-information management policies. "Men's hearts failing for fear observing things that are coming upon the Earth" An American apocalypse – why people of all classes, races are filled with fear What started out as elite woke nonsense now warps everyone’s daily life August 14, 2021 For the first time in their lives, all Americans of all classes and races are starting to fear a self-created apocalypse that threatens their families’ safety and the American way of life. The crime wave is not accidental. It is the logical result of deliberate nihilistic policies of releasing thousands of criminals from jails and prisons, defunding and defaming the police, and empowering woke mayors and prosecutors to contextualize crime as the fault of society, not of the criminal. Airliners cannot take off due to fuel shortages. Automobiles, houses, gas, and lumber are in short supply. Consumers can’t get their roofs fixed or their houses painted or the trees trimmed as employers plead to their idle government-subsidized employees to come back to work. No one knows whether our laws even still exist—or at least exist haphazardly depending on who breaks them. Thieves steal with brazen impunity. The police predicate arresting suspects on criteria that have nothing to do with breaking the law. Soaring prices are a direct result of incentivizing the unemployed not to work, while discouraging manufacturers and producers of food, gas, oil, timber, mineral, and metals. Inflation is roaring back as the administration is printing trillions of new dollars that do not reflect commensurate gains in productivity or population. Rumors of War: China Calling for Civilizational War Against America and the West  China's regime continues to talk about China's rise, but now Beijing's propaganda line is shifting in ominous ways. Ruler Xi Jinping's new narrative is that China is leading the "East." In a landmark speech he gave at the end of last year, he stated "the East is rising and the West is declining." This theme evokes what Imperial Japan tried to do with its notorious Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, beginning in the 1930s, an attempt to unite Asians against whites. Racial divisions bring us to Samuel Huntington's The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order. "In the post-Cold War world, the most important distinctions among peoples are not ideological, political, or economic," the late Harvard political scientist wrote. "They are cultural." Analysts and academics have severely criticized Huntington's seminal 1996 book, yet whether or not this work is fundamentally flawed, Xi Jinping is in fact trying to remake the world order by leading "the East" in a civilizational struggle with "the West." Xi's conception of the world is abhorrent and wrong, but Americans do not have the luxury of ignoring him. They and others must recognize that in Xi's mind, race defines civilization and civilization is the world's new dividing line. Xi is serious. In January, he told his fast-expanding military it must be ready to fight "at any second." That month, the Party's Central Military Commission took from the civilian State Council the power to mobilize all of society for war. Militant states rarely prepare for conflict and then back down. For China's Communist Party, there is a smell of gunpowder around the world, as Xi is triggering a clash of civilizations — and races. A Shadow of things to come: Religious Freedom In China Under Peril As Communist Regime Pressures Churches To Publicly Glorify CCP And Xi, Not God July 16, 2021  Religious freedom in China continues to be under peril as the Communist Regime led by President Xi Jinping pressures Christian churches to publicly glorify the government instead of God. ANI reported that the Chinese Communist Party has mandated various religions across the country to display banners containing their political ideology and to sing China's national anthem before Christian hymns to demonstrate their loyalty to the government above God. The move comes after Chinese pastors were forced to include Xi's speech in church sermons and Bible study discussions due to the recently-concluded 100th anniversary celebrations of the Chinese Communist Party's establishment last July 1. This is a slippery slope: 'Lawlessness': San Francisco's shoplifting problem increasingly frustrates business owners, employees 'It goes on from morning to night every single day, over and over and over again,' one employee said July 20, 2021 Shoplifting and car break-ins are becoming more brazen in San Francisco and residents, business owners and employees told Fox News they're becoming increasingly frustrated. "This is really bad. I’ve been in the Bay area 20 years, I’ve never seen this," a local security guard, J.C. Hernandez, told Fox News. "It’s just lawlessness," he continued. "People are just openly coming in and stealing stuff." California Retail Association President Rachel Michelin told Fox News the extent of the problem "blows your mind away." She said multi-millions of dollars worth of merchandise is being stolen from retailers in San Francisco and the money is ultimately used by crime syndicates. San Francisco car break-ins up over 750% in some areas, police say Shoplifters aren't stealing "one or two items that someone might need to get by," San Francisco Police Department spokesman Robert Rueca told Fox News. "Our investigations have shown that there are organized fences where people are selling these products that they steal." One tenth of global population undernourished last year: UN report 13th July 2021  Around one tenth of the global population - between 720 million people and 811 million - were undernourished last year, according to a UN report published Monday. Global hunger levels have skyrocketed because of conflict, climate change and the economic impact of COVID-19; and one in five children around the world is stunted, according to The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021. New data that represents the first comprehensive global assessment of food insecurity carried out since the coronavirus pandemic began, indicates that the number of people affected by chronic hunger in 2020, rose by more than in the previous five years combined. Globally, 2.4 billion people did not have access to sufficiently nutritious food in 2020 - an increase of nearly 320 million people in one year. https://www.bignewsnetwork.com/news/270271081/one-tenth-of-global-population-undernourished-last-year-un-report Interesting Slant : Digital Currency - Control over Masses This Big Development in China Is Setting Up the World for the Mark of the Beast  07-06-202 Have you ever wondered about the passage in the Bible about a government restricting the population so that you cannot buy or sell unless you have a particular mark? Well, China's move toward a cashless society is the answer. This is where the entire world is literally being set up for that kind of government control. The Chinese government is pushing ahead on many fronts to restrict what its population can and cannot do. They already restrict the right of assembly. They already restrict religious freedom. They certainly restrict political speech. And any speech that is critical of their government (and the way they run things) is definitely cracked down on. But just imagine a government that if you step out of line they can now turn off all your money and do it instantly so you cannot buy or sell, you don't have the right in the marketplace to participate anymore. That's what digital currency allows a government to do. And if you think it's just going to happen in China think again. The Federal Reserve already has a study group looking at a digital currency for the United States. Why are they doing that? Because they're afraid China will usurp the U.S. and become the world currency, that digital currency is taking over. A Hate U.S.A. Alliance is developing: Russia, China, Iran Step Up Talks as Afghanistan Loses Border Control 7/9/21  China, Russia and Iran are stepping up talks geared toward preserving stability across Central Asia, including in Afghanistan, where the country's government is rapidly losing control of its borders to Taliban advances in the wake of a U.S. military withdrawal.As the U.S. pulled the last of its forces out of a 20-year war set to officially conclude by the end of August, fighters of the Taliban movement have gained control of key border crossings with neighboring Iran, Tajikistan and, most recently, Turkmenistan. Russian is now claiming that the U.S. has a responsibility to prevent another Afghan collapse. "As so many facts have proven, between the morally right thing to do in the world and selfish interests, the U.S. always chooses the latter," Wang Wenbin said. "The U.S. has been trying to force its so-called freedom and democracy on others and push for regime changes around the world. This has led to conflict, war, terrorism, refugees, among other complications that still persist today." Anyone really know what time it is? San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus faces backlash after releasing ‘we’re coming for your children’ video The San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus has faced intense backlash after releasing a song that many believe is intent on pushing the LGBT agenda on children. In the song, which was released earlier this month but made private Thursday following immense public criticism, the choir sings such phrases as, “we’ll convert your children” and “we’re coming for your children,” which was viewed as an overt threat to parents. "You think we're sinful. You fight against our rights,” one choir member sings in a solo at the beginning of the song. “You say we all lead lives you can't respect. But you're just frightened.” “You think that we’ll corrupt your kids if our agenda goes unchecked,” he continues. “Funny, just this once, you’re correct. We’ll convert your children. Happens bit by bit. Quietly and subtly. And you will barely notice it.” “You can keep them from disco,” the full chorus sings. “Warn about San Francisco. Make ’em wear pleated pants. We don’t care. We’ll convert your children. We’ll make them tolerant and..." Watch the Video: Germany faces ‘EPIDEMIC’ of child sex abuse; WHO estimates of a million victims are ‘too low’ – it has to be stopped! 8 Jul, 2021 In Germany’s latest horrific case of child abuse, paedophiles filmed sex acts on their own children to share online. Kids learn ‘stranger danger’ but a leading campaigner says to ‘think the unthinkable’ about who real abusers are. As four evil paedophiles begin their prison sentences this week having been found guilty of being part of the biggest child abuse ring ever uncovered in Germany, one of the nation’s most tireless campaigners has warned that sex abuse of children is at epidemic levels. Activist Julia von Weiler, from the German branch of global NGO Innocence in Danger, says that the World Health Organisation estimates of a million German children having suffered sexual violence is way too low. The problem authorities face in compiling figures is the high incidence of unreported abuse. Several years ago, “the Mikado Study, funded by the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs found that two-thirds of child abuse survivors never disclose their trauma to anyone. Ever. And, in a put-on-your-seatbelt moment, the study also pointed out that just 1% of abuse cases were reported to police and/or youth welfare agencies,” she says. “So if we take that 1 percent as our baseline then the 1 million estimate by the WHO is actually a rather low figure.” Grasshopper infestation ravages drought-stricken West Infestation could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in agricultural losses July 4th 2021 The western United States, already stricken by a severe drought, now has plague of grasshoppers to contend with. Agriculture officials have launched the largest grasshopper-killing campaign since the 1980s as the insects strip an already ravaged land. The swarms are so dense they cover roads and pelt bicyclists. "They’re everywhere," Frank Wierderrick, a Montana native, told the Los Angeles Times. "Drought and grasshoppers go together, and they are cleaning us out." Oregon and Montana have seen the worst of the infestation, with 13 other states facing similar damage. Agricultural losses due to grasshoppers could be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Peaceful Islam: Muslim father beats, poisons daughter for putting faith in Christ after ‘miraculous healing’ SATURDAY, JULY 03, 2021 A 38-year-old mother of three is recovering in a hospital in eastern Uganda after her Muslim father and other relatives attacked her with a blunt object and forced her to drink poison in her pastor's house, where she had been taking refuge since her conversion to Christianity following a “miraculous healing.” The father of the woman, identified as Hajat Habiiba Namuwaya from Namakoko village in Nangonde , and her other relatives arrived at her pastor's home on the morning of June 20. Namuwaya put her faith in Christ on Feb. 24 after the pastor prayed for her and reportedly healed her from breast cancer. “He started beating and torturing me with a blunt object, inflicting bruises on my back, chest and legs, and finally forced me to drink poison, which I tried to resist but swallowed a little of it,” Namuwaya, a former Islamic teacher, was quoted as saying. “Radical Islam’s influence has grown steadily, and many Christians within the majority-Muslim border regions are facing severe persecution, especially those who convert from Islam,” a Voice of the Martyrs factsheet explains. Sounds like a Biblical Plague: Historic drought in West brings plague of grasshoppers  The insects thrive in warm, dry weather June 24, 2021 A punishing drought in the U.S. West is drying up waterways, sparking wildfires and leaving farmers scrambling for water. Next up: a plague of voracious grasshoppers. Federal agriculture officials are launching what could become their largest grasshopper-killing campaign since the 1980s amid an outbreak of the drought-loving insects that cattle ranchers fear will strip bare public and private rangelands. Agriculture officials had seen this year’s infestation coming, after a 2020 survey found dense concentrations of adult grasshoppers across about 55,000 square miles (141,000 square kilometers) in the West. A 2021 grasshopper "hazard map" shows densities of at least 15 insects per square yard (meter) in large areas of Montana, Wyoming and Oregon and portions of Idaho, Arizona, Colorado and Nebraska. The grasshoppers start eating tender plants first, then move on to fully-grown plants and the seed heads of grain crops, killing them, said Marko Manoukian, a Montana State University agriculture extension agent in Phillips County. Farmers can collect insurance on damaged crops, whereas ranchers have no recourse when the grasshoppers remove vegetation from public lands. "They are competing against our food supplies," said Manoukian. Jonah Imitator: Cape Cod: Whale swallows man, who lives to tell about it Michael Packard, a commercial lobster diver, says he was about 45 feet deep in the waters off Provincetown when "all of a sudden I felt this huge bump, and everything went dark." June 13, 2021 A commercial lobster diver who got caught in the mouth of a humpback whale off the coast of Cape Cod on Friday morning said he thought he was going to die. Michael Packard, 56, of Wellfleet, told WBZ-TV after he was released from Cape Cod Hospital that he was about 45 feet (14 meters) deep in the waters off Provincetown when "all of a sudden I felt this huge bump, and everything went dark." He thought he had been attacked by a shark, common in area waters, but then realized he could not feel any teeth and he wasn't in any pain. "Then I realized, oh my God, I'm in a whale's mouth ... and he's trying to swallow me," he said. "And I thought to myself OK, this is it – I'm finally – I'm gonna die." His thoughts went to his wife and children. He estimates he was in the whale's mouth for about 30 seconds, but continued to breathe because he still had his breathing apparatus in. "Hi everyone, I just want to clarify what happened to me today. I was lobster diving and a humpback whale tried to eat me. I was in his closed mouth for about 30 to 40 seconds before he rose to the surface and spit me out. I am very bruised up but have no broken bones. I want to thank the Provincetown rescue squad for their caring and help," he wrote. "I could sense I was moving, and I could feel the whale squeezing with the muscles in his mouth," he added. "I was completely inside; it was completely black," Packard further told the Cape Cod Times. "I thought to myself, 'there's no way I'm getting out of here. I'm done, I'm dead.' All I could think of was my boys – they're 12 and 15 years old." Falling Away From the Faith Once delivered to us: Are You Prepared to Engage a Post-Christian Culture? June 10, 2021 Once again, we're confronted with statistics that may startle some Christians. The health of the Christian worldview appears increasingly bleak. According to the American Worldview Inventory 2021, nearly half of the millennials surveyed said they either don’t know, don’t care, or don’t believe that God exists. Only 26% of Gen X, and a mere 16% of millennials, understand and believe the basics of the Gospel. In addition, 31% of teens and young adults “strongly agree” that what is “morally right and wrong changes over time, based on society.” While these trends should not surprise those who believe in the traditional Christian doctrine of the Fall, certain observations of recent Christian and American history might also help explain how we got to where we are. It didn't happen overnight. Short of a monumental move of God, we won't get out of it overnight, if at all this side of heaven. In one sense, an increase in religious diversity is to be expected as immigrants bring their religions and cultures with them. Such diversity can enrich everyone's experience. And for the Christian, the mission field is conveniently coming to us. READ MORE!: Heading Torwards Sodom: Amend Equality Act – Biden can protect both faith and LGBTQ communities. Here's how 5/12/21  Both religious convictions and sexual identity are spheres of profound importance Now that the dust has settled around the passage of the Equality Act in the House of Representatives, it is time for proactive presidential leadership as the proposal moves to the Senate. On the campaign trail, Joe Biden identified the bill as a top legislative priority and referred to it as "historic." He named trans rights "the civil rights issue of our time," as if there were no reason to perhaps tread a bit more cautiously. One cannot overstate how consequential and far-reaching this clash is as a matter of law and policy.

In a Wednesday episode of his podcast “The Briefing,” Mohler blasted the church's advancement of Isaac Simmons as “an intentional refutation and revolt against the very order of creation that God has given us, and a direct violation of the clear teachings of Scripture concerning the fact that those whom God has made as men should identify as men.” “This is open revolt, and of course, you're going to see a division between those who are appalled by it, deeply troubled by it, deeply concerned by it and opposed to it on the one hand, and those who celebrate it and say that it's arrived far too late on the other hand,” READ MORE: Things are drying up: Farmers Warn That A Megadrought In The Western U.S. Threatens To Cause Devastating Crop Failures In 2021 APRIL 20, 2021 Throughout U.S. history, there have always been droughts in the western half of the country from time to time, but what we are dealing with now is truly alarming. Scientists tell us that a multi-year “megadrought” has developed in the southwestern portion of the country, and this is the worst year of that “megadrought” so far by a wide margin. If conditions do not radically improve soon, we are going to have a major agricultural disaster on our hands. Some farmers have already decided not to plant crops at all this year, but many others have decided to plant anyway knowing that if enough rain doesn’t come their crops will certainly fail. As I have discussed previously, the epicenter of this “megadrought” is the Four Corners region in the Southwest, but this drought is so immense it is even causing nightmares for farmers as far away as North Dakota. Right now, nearly the entire state of Texas is in some level of drought, and we haven’t even gotten to the summer months yet. To call this a “plague” would be a major understatement. On the border of Oregon and California, farmers just learned that water levels are so low that they will only get “a tiny fraction of the water they need” in 2021. READ MORE: Pay Attentioh to this : Pentagon Develops Microchip That Detects COVID When Inserted Under Skin 04-13-2021 Medical researchers at the Pentagon have been working to develop what is, in essence, a microchip capable of detecting a COVID-19 infection when inserted under the skin. While it might sound like science fiction — or akin to the unfounded conspiracy theory that the COVID-19 vaccines currently in circulation are laced with microchips — the technological development is entirely true. “It’s a sensor,” said Ret. Col. Dr. Matthew Hepburn, a program manager for DARPA. “That tiny green thing in there, you put it underneath your skin, and what that tells you is that there are chemical reactions going on inside the body and that signal means you’re gonna have symptoms tomorrow.” The doctor suggested the implant is similar to a “check engine light” that, if fully implemented, would potentially be used by the military to detect an infected officer before he or she could infect fellow soldiers. Shadow of things to come: Freedom of Religion in Crosshairs: Proposed French Law Lumps All Religions with Islamic Extremism 4-16-2021 "The wind has changed in France," Clément Diedrichs, general director of the National Council of Evangelicals in France (CNEF) which represents half of the French protestants, told Christianity Today (CT). The government has "clearly indicated that we're no longer in a Christian society." "Religion has become expendable," he noted, saying that the country's leadership no longer has any desire to protect space for any faith. The proposed law also targets the financing of missionary outreaches from abroad by limiting overseas funding of church planting and building in France, a move that apparently conflates such foreign donations with Islamic funding of terrorism. According to CT, the law would also "increase government surveillance of pastors' teaching and increase religious leaders' legal liability, proposing steep sanctions for speech deemed to encourage disrespect of laws."

Written by CNN breaking news reporter Devan Cole, addressed South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s executive orders banning biological males who identify as females from competing in women’s sports at the K-12 and collegiate levels.
When it was originally published Tuesday, the article asserted that “it’s not possible to know a person’s gender identity at birth, and there is no consensus criteria for assigning sex at birth.”
Additionally, the article characterized the idea that “transgender women are not women” as “transphobic."

While the UN's Sustainable Development Goals call for water and sanitation for all by 2030, the world body says water scarcity is increasing and more than half the world's population will be living in water-stressed regions by 2050.

People's Lives 'In the Hands of the State': Spanish Lawmakers Vote to Legalize Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide 03-24-2021 Legislators in Spain have passed a law making euthanasia and assisted suicide legal, making it the sixth country in the world, and the fourth in Europe to approve of such practices. The BBC reports Spain's lower house of parliament voted 202 to 141 to pass the measure, which included support from center and left-wing political parties. Promoted by the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party, the legislation will allow adults with "serious and incurable" disease that causes "unbearable suffering" to choose to kill themselves. Euthanasia — when a doctor directly administers fatal drugs to a patient — is either legal or sanctioned by courts in Belgium, Canada, Luxembourg, Colombia, and the Netherlands. In Switzerland and some U.S. states, medically assisted suicide — when patients self-administer lethal drugs under medical supervision — is permitted. Portugal's parliament had sought to pass a similar law, but the effort was stymied after the country's highest court declared the practice unconstitutional. Some Spanish politicians believe the passage of the new law helps the country become more humane and free. But conservative and religious groups are condemning the law and have vowed to repeal it in the future.

This left-wing dystopian dream is called the Great Reset, and you're supposed to be excited about it. The Great Reset Is Well-Documented The Great Reset has been labeled a conspiracy theory and parts of it sound like a conspiracy theory, but everything we know about it comes from the global elites themselves, who have been quite open about it. "This is not a conspiracy theory. This is a well-documented. Evidence in this Video: Anyone have ears to hear? IMF warns of new ‘Great Depression’, Russia ahead of the curve due to increased cash & gold reserves  Last week, the IMF issued a stark warning about the global economy. While most large Western states are vulnerable to a new crisis, Russia has prepared its defenses. Kristalina Georgieva isn’t any sort of conspiracy theorist; she’s the head of the International Monetary Fund. And when she warns that the global economy risks another “Great Depression,” you would think everyone would listen. But the Western reaction to her statement last week has been muted, with plenty of media outlets leaving it ‘buried in the mainstream’. Or simply ignoring the story. The reasons are simple, according to insiders in Russia: western governments have accumulated too much debt over the past decade, and there are a number of concerning bubbles in the system. These include US stocks, German and British property, and the oversized valuations of tech companies, especially startups unlikely to ever return their costs. Throw in aging workforces, wage stagnation, higher living costs, and disruption to traditional industries from IT innovation, and you have all the ingredients needed for a ‘big bang’. READ MORE: Silencing the Christian Voice and the First Admendment: HuffPost blaming Christian curriculum for Capitol riots is slanderous January 27, 2021 The Huffington Post ran an article that was extremely hostile to Christian education here in the United States. The overall implication of the article was that the January 6 rioting at the Capitol building was directly tied to the government allowing and possibly funding conservative Christian education in the US. “Their religion-centered, anti-Democrat, anti-science, anti-multicultural message mirrors the Christian nationalism seen at the U.S. Capitol riot. Scholars say textbooks like these, with their alternate versions of history and emphasis on Christian national identity, represent one small part of the conditions that lead to events like last week’s riot at the U.S. Capitol, an episode that was permeated with the symbols of Christian nationalism.” The most fundamental issue at stake is that progressives are now openly contending that one worldview is dangerous and are laying a foundation for the ostracization of the religious freedoms of anyone who disagrees.

Now that Trump is gone- the stage will be set. WATCH VIDEO: Violence covered the Land in Noah's Day 2020 Will End as One of America's Most Violent Years in Decades Across the U.S., this year has taken a heavy toll. The coronavirus has upended daily life and resulted in the deaths of over 300,000 people; 2020 is on track to be the “deadliest year in U.S. history,” according to The Associated Press. This year, many Americans have experienced significantly higher levels of violence both wrought on and within their communities. Gun violence and gun crime has, in particular, risen drastically, with over 19,000 people killed in shootings and firearm-related incidents in 2020. This total includes victims of homicides and unintentional deaths but does not include gun suicides. And despite there being no “large-scale” shootings in 2020, the number of mass shootings—which are classified as an incident in which four or more people are shot and injured or killed—has actually risen, drastically, to over 600, the most in the past 5 years and a nearly 50% increase Homicides increased by 36% across 28 major U.S. cities—including Los Angeles, Atlanta, Detroit and Philadelphia—between June and October 2020, when compared to the same time period last year. In Chicago, 3,237 shooting incidents have occurred as of Dec. 27, an increase of over 50% from the 2,120 incidents reported in the same time frame in 2019. The city also saw a 55% increase in homicides. New York City has had 1,824 shooting victims this year as of Dec. 20, compared to 896 in the same time period last year, and a 39% increase in homicides year on year—the New York Times reporting that 2020 has been the city’s deadliest in “nearly a decade.” READ MORE: https://time.com/5922082/2020-gun-violence-homicides-record-year/ Bringing down the House: Finished with your tyranny': California churches turn into temporary 'strip clubs' to remain open December 3, 2020 Two California megachurches pastors have rebranded their churches into temporary “strip clubs” in protest of the state’s closing down of places of worship due to the COVID-19 pandemic while permitting strip clubs to stay open. In November, San Diego Superior Court Judge Joel R. Wohlfeil ordered California to end any actions that prevent clubs from “being allowed to provide live adult entertainment.” Meanwhile, several California churches continue to fight legal battles with authorities to reopen in-person indoor services. Last Sunday, Godspeak Calvary Chapel Pastor Rob McCoy, who has sparred with local authorities over orders prohibiting indoor worship services, circumvented the restrictions by turning his church into a “strip club” of his own. https://www.christianpost.com/news/california-churches-turn-into-temporary-strip-clubs-to-be-open.html?clickType=link-most-popular Tip of the Iceberg - Persecution ramping up in America

Maryland pastor who is also a physician issued citation for not wearing mask in empty church
A Maryland pastor and physician, who was recently issued a citation by a local health official threatening a fine, jail time and the shutting down of his church for answering his door without a mask, is now speaking out.
“The document that they handed me suggested that if we weren’t in compliance, first of all, they would shut us down completely and that I could be fined $5,000 and imprisoned for one year,” the Rev. Dr. Dennis Jackman, who leads the Community United Methodist Church in Pasadena,
“I just can’t believe this. I truly believe the power of the church to help to facilitate the American Revolution and to have churches shut down? The flip side is we have people out there that are hurting dramatically that need love and care. People that are deeply depressed and what we’ve done is isolated people and said we can’t have contact with people.” Where is all of this Heading? San Diego strip clubs reopen, but churches ordered to remain closed Nov 14, 2020 A California judge ordered San Diego to reopen strip clubs while the county carries on with its crackdown on churches and restrictions on in-person learning at schools. San Diego Superior Court Judge Joel R. Wohlfeil ordered California to end any actions that prevent the clubs from “being allowed to provide live adult entertainment,” according to The Washington Free Beacon, which noted that the decision is not final as a full hearing will be held at the end of the month. “If you’re going to accept that argument that dancing nude is protected speech that’s so significant that it overcomes the government’s interest in regulating its citizens with COVID-19 orders, then obviously the divine worship of God, which is expressly mentioned in the First Amendment, should be held to a higher standard,” Jonna told the Beacon. https://www.christianpost.com/news/san-diego-strip-clubs-reopen-but-churches-ordered-remain-closed.html Freedom From Religion? Calif. church appeals governor's ban on Bible studies, in-person worship: 'Church more essential than ever' SEPTEMBER 06, 2020 The Pasadena-based Harvest Rock Church and Harvest International Ministry have appealed their case regarding Gov. Gavin Newsom’s ban on all in-person worship, including home Bible studies and fellowship with anyone who does not live in the home. The lawsuit challenges “both the total ban on in-person worship (including in private homes) in the counties on the ‘County Monitoring List,’ and the ban on singing and chanting in the remaining counties,” Liberty Counsel said in a statement. Harvest Rock Church also has many “Life Groups,” which are home Bible studies and fellowship groups. “These too are prohibited under Gov. Newsom’s July 6 (no singing and chanting) and July 13 (no worship) orders.” “While he discriminates against churches, home Bible studies and fellowship meetings, the governor continues to encourage thousands of protestors to gather throughout the state," Liberty Counsel argued. "Like Gov. Newsom, Pasadena has allowed hundreds and thousands of protestors. Freedom from Religion: Satanic Temple threatens to sue Mississippi if state adds 'In God We Trust' to new flag JULY 09, 2020 An atheist group that calls itself The Satanic Temple has threatened to sue Mississippi if it decides to add the national motto “In God We Trust” to its flag. Recently, Republican Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves signed a law to change the state flag in order to remove the Confederate battle flag, which has long been on the banner. The Randazza Legal Group, which is representing the Satanic Temple, sent a letter to Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch, protesting the decision. “… removing one divisive symbol of exclusion only to replace it with a divisive phrase of exclusion does not eliminate exclusion,” claimed the letter. “[W]e can imagine that there would be some Mississippians who would be a bit put off by the words ‘In Satan we Trust’ on the state flag.” Temple spokesperson Lucien Greaves said in a statement released Tuesday that his group was “fully dedicated to preserving Religious Liberty, and that includes the rights of non-believers and believers of alternative faiths to live free of government coercion or sanction related to their personal religious opinions.” http://www.christianpost.com/news/satanic-temple-threatens-to-sue-mississippi-if-state-adds-in-god-we-trust-to-new-flag.html A shadow of things to come in U.S: Blind woman banned from park for 2 years for sharing Jesus 6/17/2020 A blind woman in Rhode Island was banned for two years from a public park and library in Westerly for sharing her Christian faith, according to a discrimination complaint. Officials at the Memorial and Library Association, in charge of Westerly Library and Wilcox Park, demanded Gail Blair, 63 at the time and blind, stop having conversations with others in the park about Jesus. During the chats, Blair typically would offer a copy of the Gospel of John. Association members called the police on June 24, 2019, claiming she "acosted" patrons by "stopping" and "giving them religious pamphlets." In July 2019, Blair was volunteering with her church's Bible school event in the park when the Westerly Police Department informed her she had trespassed. They warned her a future violation would result in her being arrested. Jeremy Dys, special counsel for litigation and communications for First Liberty, the largest religious freedom legal group in the U.S., called the incident "outrageous and discriminatory" in a statement to Fox News. "No government entity should ban anyone—let alone a gentle, blind woman— for simply carrying on conversations about her faith and giving them a copy of the Gospel of John in a public park," Dys said. https://www.foxnews.com/us/christian-woman-rhode-island-park-discrimination-lawsuit Rich Men will weep and howl someday: Putting the national debt into perspective and why it matters May 14, 2020 It is peculiar to think that we find ourselves in a current state where the word trillion is becoming such a commonplace measurement. While our debt is north of $25 trillion, it is dangerous to think that the national debt is something so large and abstract that it does not concern the everyday American. Nothing could be further from the truth, and framed correctly, our national debt is very comprehensible. For starters, it is paramount to fully understand the significance of our national debt, and that it is in fact, OUR debt. The United States Department of the Treasury borrows money for government spending by issuing Treasury bills, notes and bonds ranging from four weeks to 30 years. According to the Treasury Department, as of December 2019, 74% of all U.S. debt is owned by American households, pension funds and institutions. For reference, China, the second largest foreign debt holder, currently holds approximately 4% of all U.S. government debt. Japan, the largest foreign debt holder, currently holds 5% of all U.S. government debt. As the majority owners of this debt, we should make no mistake that this is our problem. Fundamentally, the trillions of dollars that are being thrown at this pandemic will need to be paid with our future taxes. One must understand that the government’s obligations in the future are truly the obligations of the American people. If you divide our national debt by the number of taxpayers, that equates to over $200,000 of debt for every tax paying American. It is also critical to understand that defaulting on this money or wiping it away, is simply not a viable option. https://www.titusvilleherald.com/opinion/letters_to_editor/article_83fe1ef2-95c2-11ea-bba7-1f928e1b6615.html One of the G-7 Group: Economic Collapse worldwide: Japanese PM Calls Global Economic Collapse ‘Once-In-A-Century Crisis’ May 14, 2020 Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe says the world economy is facing a “once-in-a-century crisis.” He made the remark Thursday while lifting a national coronavirus emergency except for Tokyo and seven other prefectures that remain at high risk. “The spread of global infection is never-ending. The world economy is facing a once-in-a-century crisis and is not even comparable to the Lehman shock,” Abe said, referring to the giant investment bank and the financial crisis of 2008. He added that even the world’s largest corporations are suffering significant damage and that it is “absolutely necessary to prevent chain bankruptcy.” https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/japanese-pm-calls-global-economic-collapse-once-in-a-century-crisis People will hate one another- because iniquity abounds - the love of many wax cold: U.N. Chief Targets 'Dangerous Epidemic of Misinformation' On Coronavirus April 14, 2020 The world is facing "a dangerous epidemic of misinformation" about COVID-19 — and the only vaccine is to reestablish public trust, the head of the United Nations said Tuesday. "Around the world, people are scared. They want to know what to do and where to turn for advice," said U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres. The distortion and willful ignorance of scientific facts is a "poison that is putting even more lives at risk" during the most challenging crisis since World War II, Guterres said. "Wild conspiracy theories are infecting the Internet. Hatred is going viral, stigmatizing and vilifying people and groups." Shadow of things to come for America: Mississippi pastor sues police after congregants were ticketed at drive-in service: 'Doesn't make any sense' April 14, 2020 Mississippi Pastor Arthur Scott, who is suing the city of Greenville after police officers issued tickets to people attending the church’s drive-in service last week, said on “Fox News @Night” on Monday that he hopes the mayor takes action to lift the penalties. Police shut down the Temple Baptist Church’s drive-in service in accordance with a city ban on large gatherings amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Speaking on “Fox News @Night,” Kristen Waggoner, with the ADF, said during the church’s drive-in service “everyone was in their car and they were listening to an FM transistor radio.” She said about 20 cars were in the church’s parking lot when eight police officers came and gave the Temple Baptist Church and Pastor Scott $500 tickets for being there. Waggoner said she filed the lawsuit just before Easter and negotiated a stay through Easter, but the mayor “doubled down again” on Monday morning “saying he would enforce the order against the church. We’re deeply concerned because the First Amendment is not completely suspended even during times of crisis,” Waggoner said. Christian Freedom Attacked Again in America – Wake Up! Mississippi city's coronavirus shutdown bans drive-in church services ahead of Easter April 11. 2020 Drive-in church services that attempt to adhere to social distancing guidelines by keeping worshipers physically apart from one another in their own cars will not be allowed this Easter Sunday in at least one Mississippi community, as the coronavirus crisis has left wide swaths of the country shut down. The Rev. James Hamilton of the King James Baptist Church in Greenville tried to hold a drive-in service anyway -- and police arrived to shut it down, as seen in cellphone video he recorded.

Revelation 6:3-4 April 3, 2020 Al-Maqdisi disputes those - who think that every individual can become a believer if Muslims show them kindness or - who believe that it is allowed to pray for and guide every human being. This kind of argument is "too kind and absurd," "There is no dispute over the fact that every infidel who acknowledges the faith of Islam has a notable status among us, this does not prevent us from rejoicing at his death, since - he not did become a believer [i.e. did not convert to Islam] or - was among those who fight against the Muslims." Buttressing his arguments with Quranic verses and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, he concludes by emphasizing that Muslims: "should not be ashamed to pray to Allah for Him to diminish all those who fought [against] Islam, and kill them, and not save any one of them. Oh Allah, tighten your grip on them; "Allah had a certain wisdom when he created infidels, the same as when he created animals, insects, and everything else. Yet this should not be a reason for us to think, or for leading people to think, that because Allah had a wisdom of creating infidels... we should rejoice their disappearance, if they were killed or crushed or died because of the coronavirus." "I say these wishes and this kindheartedness should not nullify the classification of the infidels into warriors that we should fight and wish destroyed. Rejoice at their deaths, whether at our hands or by the coronavirus," "Oh Allah, punish them by our hands and inflict them with coronavirus, plagues, and diseases." A Domino effect: One in Five Americans Ordered to Stay Home In Coronavirus Crackdown Strict new directives, in New York, California, Illinois and other states, were intended to slow the spread of the coronavirus. March 21, 2020 America plunged into a deeper state of disruption and paralysis on Friday as New York and Illinois announced a broad series of measures aimed at keeping tens of millions of residents cloistered in their homes, following similar actions by California and a patchwork of restrictions from coast to coast. Increasingly severe shutdowns and restrictions on Americans’ movement — which public experts consider essential to reduce the alarming rate of infection — have turned much of the country quiet. Forty-five states have closed all their schools and the other five have closed at least some of them. Bars, restaurants and other gathering spots have been abruptly shuttered.

Christian sects around the world are reeling from the virus. Catholicism has been particularly hard-hit, largely due to the spread of coronavirus through Italy. Vatican City has become a near ghost town, with Pope Francis live-streaming addresses on screens in St. Peter’s Square. Rome has suspended all Catholic masses in the city – reportedly the first time since 1155, during a revolt against the papacy. Other Christian sects have taken similar measures. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (also known as the Mormon Church) announced last week that it was suspending gatherings worldwide “until further notice” due to the virus. n Singapore, Hindus have been forced to cancel part of their annual Panguni Uthiram festival, which includes a foot and chariot procession. The religious event usually draws around 10-15 thousand pilgrims each year. The virus has imperiled the Hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca that all Muslims are expected to take. The Saudi government has already called off another pilgrimage, the Umrah, and all mosques in the country have been shuttered.

Kataib Hezbollah, of the Popular Mobilization Forces issued a statement Thursday warning that "the occupation forces must bear the consequences of their illegal presence on the land of dear Iraq" after the Katyusha rocket attack on Wednesday. The strike killed two U.S. service members and a British soldier, while also wounding others, at the Taji military camp north of Baghdad. The group blamed the enemy's "disregard for the will and the dignity of the Iraqi people." "We ask God to bless those who carried out the accurate jihadi operation that targeted the U.S. occupation forces at the Taji base in Baghdad," the statement continued. "For their timing was very appropriate, not without success, and we believe that it is the most appropriate time to resume national and popular jihadi operations to expel the evil aggressors from the land of the holy shrines."

Last year, it was announced that same-sex spouses were not invited to the Lambeth Conference, a global Anglican bishops’ summit attended by some 1,000 bishops from 165 countries that takes places once every 10 years, and will be held in Canterbury, U.K., this summer. Glasspool, the first married lesbian to be made bishop in the Anglican Communion, told The Guardian in an interview that she believed Justin Welby, archbishop of Canterbury and leader of the Anglican church, had “gone out of his way to uninvite individual persons in a breach of hospitality.” “The LGBT+ community in the U.K. and other places might not understand that they are invited to celebrate at the Christian table,” said Glasspool. “We need to make it known that everyone is included — all are invited to this particular celebration.” https://www.christianpost.com/world/married-lesbian-bishop-lead-church-service-protest-ban-on-gay-partners-anglican-summit.html The Money God is crumbling: Dow plunges as much as 2,000 points, oil crashes as price war erupts and coronavirus spreads West Texas Intermediate crude oil plunged by as much as 33.8 percent 3/9/2020 U.S. equity markets were sharply lower Monday morning after an oil price war broke out between Saudi Arabia and Russia and the new coronavirus showed signs of spreading.

Just five planes are currently spraying as Kenyan and other authorities try to stop the locusts from spreading to neighboring Uganda and South Sudan. The United Nations has said $76 million is needed immediately to widen such efforts across East Africa. A fast response is crucial. Experts warn that if left unchecked, the number of locusts could grow by 500 times by June, when drier weather will help bring the outbreak under control.

Karla Quintana, head of the National Registry of Missing or Missing Persons (RNPED), revised the number of missing to 61,637 people, a figure far surpassing a previous estimate of 40,000 from June. The revised numbers come as Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has faced criticism for his policy of using “hugs, not bullets” when fighting drug cartels amid a skyrocketing murder rate during his first year in office. In November, new figures from Mexico's Secretary General of National Public Safety showed that the country's homicide was on pace to reach its highest overall annual total since the government started tracking in 1997. The data showed that there had been 29,414 homicides in 2019 — that's nearly 100 people killed each day. In 2018, there were a total of 36,685 murders in Mexico, the most since the office started gathering data on the crime more than two decades ago.

LDS Church pressed struggling members for tithes despite $100B stockpile, whistleblower says DECEMBER 17, 2019 Despite amassing some $100 billion dollars in accounts meant for charitable purposes, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints pressed struggling members to tithe while bailing out a church-run insurance company and a shopping mall with billions, a new whistleblower complaint to the Internal Revenue Service alleges. The confidential complaint was filed at the IRS on Nov. 21 by David A. Nielsen, a 41-year-old Mormon who worked as a senior portfolio manager at the church’s investment division, a company named Ensign Peak Advisors. “Would you pay tithing instead of water, electricity, or feeding your family if you knew that it would sit around by the billions until the Second Coming of Christ?” Some $2 billion from Ensign has been used over the past decade to bail out church-run insurance company, Beneficial Life, and a shopping mall in Salt Lake City, which was a joint venture between the church and a major real estate company, the report said. The “apostisia” (falling away) already has started: The Great American Slumbering? December 6, 2019 Is it possible that we are living through “The Great American Slumber,” a time when too many churches are not pressing for the reform of the nation but lining their pockets, becoming court evangelicals and traveling around by private jets? Are these churches asleep while the youth of the nation are “woke?” If that is the case, one can only hope, as this author does, that the number of awakened millennials grows and that they evangelize the slumbering churches. It is to this situation that Nicholas Kristof, a well-known columnist for The New York Times, recently wrote a fine opinion piece, “We’re Less and Less a Christian Nation, and I Blame Some Blowhards.” His point was one that has, in part, been made by many observers of the American scene, namely that millennials are leaving the churches and not returning. How odd, then, that the current custodians of the evangelical movements would be seen, rightly this author judges, as anything but progressive and in fact stunting the work of churches to labor for greater freedom, inclusion, aid and equality of people as marks of a robust religiousness. https://religionnews.com/2019/12/06/the-great-american-slumbering/ Solution-Restore Sabbath Rest: Portland pastor on the biggest problem for American Christians November 20, 2019 The Bridgetown Church pastor used to believe the biggest problem for American Christians was liberalism, secularism or the breakdown of the family. But he now has a different answer and outlook on life, based on advice from his mentor. "I think, in all honesty, it is hurry," the 39-year-old pastor told Fox News. The author of “The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry” said the root of many problems in the country goes back to people being too busy, too hurried, too distracted or exhausted to enjoy God and others. He calls this counter-cultural because the average millennial spends five and a half hours on their phone per day -- and so many are addicted to binging Netflix, getting likes on Instagram, and scrolling Facebook and Twitter. On a practical level, Comer encourages people to limit themselves from being constantly distracted by phones and digital devices, and cultivate a daily time of quiet to sit, pray, process, and be still before God. He calls this "massive and life-changing." But, beyond that, he said people can start capturing the practice of Sabbath once again, something Americans did in some form or another since the founding until decades ago. "It's an ancient human practice that has been lost in our culture since the 1960s and I think it’s had disastrous consequences for Christian and non-Christians across the soul of our society," Comer explained. "Sabbath or Sunday was essentially built into our cultural architecture. We had no phone – a day to rest – and that has just been swallowed up by commerce and the digital age…what we’ve lost has been emotionally, spiritually, and mentally devastating." https://www.foxnews.com/faith-values/portland-pastor-problem-american-christians 154 U.N. nations call Temple Mount solely by Muslim name Haram al-Sharif November 18, 2019  The UN gave its preliminary approval to a resolution that referred to the Temple Mount solely by its Muslim name of Haram al-Sharif. Ben Bourgel, the Israeli political coordinator at the UN mission in New York, pushed the committee on the issue of Jerusalem, asking why it was so difficult for UN member states to use the phrase Temple Mount. “Is it acceptable in this committee’s view that in the resolutions presented it is inconceivable to add the phrase ‘Temple Mount?’” Bourgel asked. His remarks referenced the resolution entitled, “Enforcing Israeli practices affecting the human rights of the Palestinian people in the occupied Palestinian territory, including east Jerusalem.” That text states that the UN is “gravely concerned by the tensions and violence in the recent period throughout the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including east Jerusalem and including with regard to the holy places of Jerusalem, including the Haram al-Sharif.” Better keep an eye on this: World’s 1st robot citizen wants her own family, career & AI ‘superpowers’  Sophia, the first robot to be awarded citizenship in the world, has said she not only wants to start a family but also have her own career, in addition to developing human emotions in the future.

The statue of Moloch outside the Colosseum was billed as celebration of Carthaginian culture and art. "A reconstruction of the terrible deity Moloch, linked to Phoenician and Carthaginian religions and featured in the 1914 film 'Cabiria' (directed by Giovanni Pastore and written by Gabriele D’Annunzio) will be stationed at the entrance to the Colosseum to welcome visitors to the exhibition," a press release about the exhibit states. Christian Speech a Hate Crime? Politician Faces Police Interrogation for Posting Bible Verse November 2019 A Christian politician from Finland will be interrogated at police headquarters Friday in a hate speech investigation for sharing a Bible passage on social media. Päivi Räsänen is a member of the Finnish Parliament, and she's under investigation for committing a so-called hate crime after she posted a Bible verse aimed at Finland's state church for promoting the homosexual lifestyle. "In my tweet, I directly cited Romans first chapter and verses 24 to 27 and posted the picture of the passages from the Bible.That passage condemns homosexual relations. She said her purpose was to wake up the church in Finland. "And and when praying, I got convinced that it is not my time now to jump out of the sinking boat as a parable of the church, but to try to wake up the sleeping ones in the church in that boat. And that's why I decided to write to social media," Räsänen said. How the American church is grappling in a society that's abandoning God October 29, 2019 “Do you ever miss being a Christian?” “No,” replied Anthony B. Pinn comfortably. The Agnes Cullen Arnold professor of humanities and religion at Rice University in Houston, Texas, then paused before continuing quickly. “No, because no longer being a Christian doesn’t mean that I’m without ritual, without community, that I’m without relationship or without a sense of awe. I continue to have a sense of awe, but it’s secular. I walk outside and I’m baffled by the beauty. I think about life even from an evolutionary perspective and it creates a sense of awe that we are here,” “I decided that I really didn’t believe in God anymore. I wasn’t a Christian. I wasn’t even a theist anymore. And so I contacted the minister at the church where I’d been working, indicating I would not be returning. I contacted my church officials and indicated I wanted to surrender my ordination and I left the church and left theism,” he said. Persecution in America is - McDonalds giving us the wrong order: Islamic Republic of Iran: Nine Christians jailed for leaving Islam OCT 23, 2019 Imagine the outcry if nine Muslims had been jailed for leaving Christianity. But no one will take any significant notice of this. In any case, it could have been worse. They could have been sentenced to death. The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law. It’s based on the Qur’an: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper.” (Qur’an 4:89) A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law according to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence. Church leader Matthias Haghnejad and the other believers were each sentenced to five years imprisonment after a short hearing on September 23, trial observers confirmed. https://www.jihadwatch.org/2019/10/islamic-republic-of-iran-nine-christians-jailed-for-leaving-islam C'mon - is this the best they have? Seriously? Warren threatens Israel: Accept “two-state solution,” or “everything is on the table” October 25, 2019 Senator Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) took a hard line on Israel Saturday saying “everything is on the table” in imposing a two-state solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict. “It is the official policy of the United States of America to support a two-state solution, and if Israel is moving in the opposite direction, then everything is on the table,” Warren said during a press availability with reporters Saturday. In a formulation more commonly deployed by previous presidents in threatening the use of force against America’s enemies, Warren repeated the phrase but did not clarify precisely what pressure—military or otherwise—might be brought to bear. “Right now, [Israeli prime minister Benjamin] Netanyahu says he is going to take Israel in a direction of increasing settlements, [but] that does not move us in the direction of a two-state solution,” Warren was quoted as saying. For Convenience's Sake: Financial Biometrics Month: Payments Ditch the Wallet October 25, 2019 Cash is getting scarce. It wasn’t so long ago that most transactions done in stores involved hard currency, but over time, dollars and bills have been increasingly displaced by debit and credit cards. Convenience is a big part of the reason, especially in countries where NFC-enabled POS terminals allow consumers to pay just by tapping their cards, though in a sense that has brought back a security risk that used to be associated with cash – the threat of physical theft, since criminals don’t necessarily need to know your PIN with these cards. Apple Pay, which is now supported by the Face ID authentication system built into all of Apple’s latest iPhones. Based on sophisticated laser imaging technology, Face ID enables three-dimensional facial mapping, meaning that Apple Pay users get to confirm their transactions with some of the most advanced biometric authentication technology on the market – and just by looking at their phones, to boot. And the same goes for the newly-launch Apple Card, which is itself a virtual credit card (or a physical one, if you prefer) that can operate in much the same way as Apple Pay. These mPayment platforms and others such as Google Pay and LG Pay are now available in many countries around the world. And while only a small proportion of consumers are currently using them, a Goode Intelligence forecast from the start of this year projected mobile biometric payments would reach $1.67 trillion per year by 2023. Perilous Times will come: World in flames: why are protests raging around the globe? October 21, 2019 Protests and demonstrations have rocked every corner of the world in recent days, with tax hikes, corruption and supposed environmental injustice all raising public anger. But why have they spread? Watching the news over the last week, one would be convinced that the world has devolved into a series of flashpoints, with corrupt governments across the political spectrum facing the wrath of their enraged citizens. To be fair, that’s not far from the truth. Four continents have seen anti-government demonstrations over the last week, many of them sparked by seemingly innocuous taxes or changes to the law. In Lebanon, protesters have set Beirut ablaze in response to a proposed fee of 20 cents per day on internet voice calls, dubbed the “WhatsApp tax.” Chileans set metro stations on fire following a $1.17 increase in public transport fares, and the streets of Ecuador are filled with rubble after a planned removal of fuel subsidies triggered mass unrest. So why has unrest seemingly erupted all over the world at once? According to a University of Arizona study, protest is contagious. The study’s authors found that “violent domestic conflicts spread between countries via spillover effects and the desire to emulate events abroad.” Will You Make a Stand? UK Doc Fired for Not Calling Bearded Transsexual 'Madam' Will Appeal, Remain Faithful to Jesus Christ David Mackereth, the UK doctor whose speech was labeled as "incompatible with human dignity" last week by an Employment Tribunal says he didn't want to call a biological male 'madam' because his desire was to remain faithful to the Lord Jesus Christ. "At that moment, I knew that if I simply gave in, my fellowship with the Lord Jesus would be breached and that I would do something that was dishonoring to him," Mackereth explained. "He gave me the strength to take that stand." The British government's Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) fired the 56-year-old Mackereth from his job as a disability assessor in late June 2018 because he refused to use politically correct speech when addressing a six-foot-tall bearded transsexual.

Barr, a devout Catholic, told students and faculty at the university's law school that "the problem is not that religion is being forced on others, the problem is that irreligion is being forced — secular values are being forced on people of faith." “Among the militant secularists are many so-called progressives,” he said. “But where is the progress? We are told we are living in a post-Christian era, but what has replaced the Judeo-Christian moral system? What is it that can fill the spiritual void in the hearts of the individual person?

The shoes have been injected with holy water sourced from the Jordan River. The water, which is visible in the see-through sole, has some coloring added to enhance visibility. The kicks, succinctly called “Jesus Shoes,” also feature the Bible verse Matthew 14:25 — the passage describing Jesus walking on water — and a single blood drop to represent the blood of Christ. Among the other religious details are the frankincense-scented insoles, a crucifix threaded through the laces, and a red sole, which references the red shoes traditionally worn by past Popes. Darkness is covering the Earth: Oregon-based exorcist says demonic possession cases ‘are getting darker’ September 20, 2019  An exorcist based in Oregon and who belongs to a splinter Catholic group has stated that incidents of demonic possession are “getting darker” in recent years. James Cloud, a former Anglican who is presently an Archbishop in the Advent Catholic Church, gave an interview with Emily Burris of the Portland-based KOIN 6 after reportedly performing an exorcism. “If I hadn’t seen half the stuff I’ve seen in life, I wouldn’t believe it, either — until it actually happens,” said Cloud, who is also a licensed counselor, to KOIN in a story published last week. “Throughout the scriptures, we see examples of angels interacting on Earth — devils and Satan himself interacting on Earth.” Cloud explained to the local media outlet that he feared that too many churches gave a “very sanitized” approach to spiritual life that omitted possessions, with the exorcist claiming that he was kicked out of the Anglican Church for his focus on spiritual warfare. https://www.christianpost.com/news/oregon-based-exorcist-says-demonic-possession-cases-are-getting-darker.html Guess what this tells us?

The photo published on the supreme leader’s official website shows Nasrallah with Khamenei on his right and Qassem Soleimani — the commander of Iran’s elite Quds Force — on his left.

The Everett family was heading to lunch after church one Sunday in January, they explained, when a vehicle in the parking lot appeared out of nowhere, crushing their small son Titus underneath. As Titus lay trapped under the SUV, his dad, Jason, tried to lift the 5,000-pound vehicle off of his son, but the car wouldn't budge. "I just laid down on the ground holding his hand saying 'God is with you Titus, God is with you, and we just kept singing 'When I am afraid I will trust in you" an emotional Sarah recalled. Watch the Video: Anyone awake? One World Religion: Pope Francis Says All Major Religions Are ‘Meeting God In Different Ways’  A new video has just been released in which Pope Francis very clearly expresses his belief that all of the major religions are different paths to the same God. He says that while people from various global faiths may be “seeking God or meeting God in different ways” that it is important to keep in mind that “we are all children of God”. This is the most recent example that shows that the Pope has completely abandoned any notion that a relationship with God is available only through Jesus Christ. As he has done throughout his papacy, he continues to lay the groundwork for the coming one world religion, and yet hardly anyone seems upset by this. By their fruit – you will know them: For the Love of Money: Kenya’s False Prophets and Their Wicked and Bizarre Deeds September 11, 2019  In recent years, Kenyans have witnessed scandals involving pastors who prey on their gullible followers to enrich themselves. Cult-like followings in the country are breaking up families and causing immense distress and hardship. In the last couple of weeks, several bizarre YouTube videos of the self-proclaimed “Apostle” James Maina Ng’ang’a of the Neno Evangelism Ministry have been doing odious rounds in cyberspace. In these videos, Ng’ang’a has been captured haranguing his congregation in the most despicable and vilest of language a man of God can possibly utter. In most of these videos, a convict-turned-televangelist who runs one of the largest deliverances and healing ministries in Kenya – is shown abusing everybody, from his partner pastors (who he refers to as bishops) to the men and women who fanatically and religiously attend his church, in the foulest of language. Angered by the behavior of certain men in his church, he lectured the congregation for 20 minutes before threatening those men with castration. “After I’ve castrated you…you’ll be left just admiring your wives impotently,” he said. He called the men “these cows” as he walked back to the pulpit. Bizarrely, the congregation applauded his abuse and insults. https://www.nation.co.ke/video/news/4146788-5139332-5djj0z/index.html Iran - Going Downhill quickly: EDITORIAL: Khamenei at a Terminal Impasse 19 September 2019. Iran's regime is embroiled in a major crisis stemming from the United States’ 'maximum pressure' campaign including new sanctions, Arab countries’ position against its regional warmongering, and the explosive situation of Iranian society. The regime’s increasing factional feuding is reflective of this crisis. The Iranian regime is grappling with three major issues: First is the international crisis over its nuclear and ballistic missile program that has led to biting sanctions against the regime’s oil industry. Second is the regional crisis, a result of the regime’s regional meddling, terrorism and warmongering, and its establishment of proxy groups, all of which have united Iran's neighbors against the regime. Just last week, four Arab countries - Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain - in a joint statement, once again underlined the Iranian regime’s destructive role in the Middle East. The third crisis, which arguably is the root of the other crises, and which the regime fears immensely is the existence of a frustrated and angry society that could erupt at any time and lead to the downfall of the regime.

Citing a reactionary “cycle of panic and neglect” in which health emergencies are dealt with as they arise, rather than before they start, the Global Preparedness Monitoring Board – an entity formed last year by the World Bank and the World Health Organization – has called for immediate and massive investment in emergency preparedness systems in its first-ever report, titled “A World At Risk.” “The world is not prepared for a fast-moving, virulent respiratory pathogen pandemic,” the report, posted on Tuesday, warns, claiming that such a crisis would kill off 50 to 80 million people – 2.8 percent of the population – ravage the global economy and trade, and “destabilize national security.” Countries must “be prepared for the worst,” if they want to avoid getting crushed by the next pandemic. Verifiable Prophecy: “The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.” Luke 19:43-44 The Most Powerful Movie on the Destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Temple  The Roman Empire destroyed the Second Jewish Temple 2,000 years ago in the year 70 AD. It was a devastating blow to the Jewish people with utter destruction. This is the most powerful movie that depicts the factual history of the Jewish rebellion against the Roman Empire. It depicts the ultimate demise of the Jewish people in their homeland that sent them into exile for 2,000 years. Today we know the factual accounts of the rebellion thanks to the historian Josephus Flavious who was present to document it with the Roman forces. Flavious was previously known as Josepsh ben Matityahu. He was a Jew from Jerusalem and one of the most successful Jewish commanders of the rebellion. Since Josephus Flavious was a Jew, his historical account of the Roman conquest of Judea included some interesting anecdotes. Flavious himself writes that it wasn’t the Romans that crushed the Jewish rebellion, but it was the One above.

From India to Iran to Botswana, 17 countries around the world are currently under extremely high water stress, meaning they are using almost all the water they have, according to new World Resources Institute data published Tuesday. Mexico’s capital, Mexico City, is drawing groundwater so fast that the city is literally sinking. Dhaka, Bangladesh, relies so heavily on its groundwater for both its residents and its water-guzzling garment factories that it now draws water from aquifers hundreds of feet deep. After a three-year drought, Cape Town in 2018 was forced to take extraordinary measures to ration what little it had left in its reservoirs. That acute crisis only magnified a chronic challenge. Cape Town’s 4 million residents are competing with farmers for limited water resources. Likewise, Los Angeles. Its most recent drought ended this year. But its water supply isn’t keeping pace with its galloping demand and its penchant for private backyard swimming pools doesn’t help. Four asteroids on COLLISION course with Earth August 2019  It’s a scenario straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster, an asteroid is careening towards Earth and is set to wipe out human existence. To mark Asteroid Day, here are four space rocks on a collision course with our planet. The United Nations fears that the possibility of an asteroid smashing into a densely populated area isn’t being taken seriously enough, so it designated June 30 as International Asteroid Day to raise awareness about the potentially catastrophic occurrence. With its 900-meter diameter, if this enormous rock hits our planet the impact would be devastating. It’s currently hurtling through the solar system at nearly 70,000kph and is getting almost 30km closer to Earth every second. Of course, a big part of the danger with hazardous space objects is that we are not good at detecting them and some of the most dangerous ones have caught us by surprise. When the Chelyabinsk meteor entered Earth’s atmosphere undetected, its explosion released up to 30 times more energy than the atomic bombs the US dropped on Japan in 1945. As recently as last December, another asteroid broke apart over the Bering Sea that was 10 times more powerful than the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Neither Near Earth Objects (NEOs) were tracked in advance. It’s hoped that International Asteroid Day will prompt authorities around the world to improve how they detect the potentially cataclysmic space rocks. https://www.rt.com/news/463071-asteroids-collision-course-earth/ Iran against the West: Ushering in the Islamic Imposter: Senior ayatollah says Iran must engage in “widespread fighting” with the West for the Hidden Imam to reappear AUG 8, 2019 The Shi’ite prophecies that the Hidden Imam will not return until the Muslims are suffering unprecedented persecution. The Iranian leadership has more than once spoken about provoking this denouement by attacking Israel and/or the U.S., so as to bring on a counterattack that would trigger the return of the Hidden Imam. Western analysts routinely dismiss religious statements from jihadis; in the context of the Islamic Republic of Iran, they do so at their and our peril. Mohammad Mehdi Mirbagheri: “If we stand by our ideology of truth, it is moral for us to fight. ‘Fighting in the cause of Allah’ constitutes an entirely moral war. We will never reach the age of the reappearance [of the Hidden Imam] unless we go into widespread fighting – a comprehensive clash that will escalate into fighting. The Quran says: ‘Fight them so there is no discord, and religion in its entirety is to Allah.’ This addresses all the imams throughout history, and first and foremost the Hidden Imam. “Why should we maintain our revolution? Why should our regime be revolutionary? Because our rivalry [with the West] is not yet completed. We did not carry out a revolution in order to join the international community and accept liberal democracy. It has all been done to bring about the age of [the Hidden Imam’s] reappearance. So the same revolutionary spirit that prevailed among the believers at the advent of Islam, during the Ashura, and following the occultation of the Hidden Imam should prevail now.” https://www.jihadwatch.org/2019/08/senior-ayatollah-says-iran-must-engage-in-widespread-fighting-with-the-west-for-the-hidden-imam-to-reappear Bizarre Combination: Worship and Snakes: What Hollywood Gets Right About Snake-Handling Christians The sincere portrayal in “Them That Follow” gives mainstream believers perspective on the real oddity of our faith. AUGUST 5, 2019 It can be easy to convince ourselves that those outside our community are uncomfortable with Christianity because they think religious faith itself is naïve. But this is why Them That Follow proves to be such an insightful film. In its sympathetic handling of its religious characters, told from the perspective of outsiders looking in, it dares to suggest that it isn’t snake handling that outsiders find off-putting about Christianity. If anything, to “pick up snakes with their hands” without being poisoned is a genuine sign of deeper spirituality.

Bronx pastor Reginald Williams of Charity Baptist Church of Christ and two others — Bennie Hadnott and Naomi Barrera — were arraigned on grand larceny charges in Manhattan Supreme Court on Wednesday. The three pled not guilty to the charges, according to the New York Post. Williams was the CEO of a tax-payer funded nonprofit called Addicts Rehabilitation Center Fund and was chairman of the board for another tax-payer funded entity Addicts Rehabilitation Center Foundation. According to the district attorney's office, the organizations contracted with the city and state agencies to provide housing to New Yorkers with substance and alcohol dependency issues as well as those who live with HIV/AIDs. It's alleged that Williams sought the help of Barrera and Hadnott to implement a series of schemes he devised to embezzle money from the organizations.

In contrast to the concept of violent jihad, the filmmakers introduce the concept of "cultural jihad as a means to infiltrate and undermine our society from within." The overriding theme from their perspective is how this "cultural jihad" is a threat to United States national security. The film contains excerpts of speeches by Islamic organizations and terrorist groups, includes interviews with government officials, interspersed with footage of terrorist attacks, human rights violations, and growing support of jihadist movements.

Meanwhile, the military is sending planes to extinguish the flames. Every shaman will hold a ceremony at their homes on Friday, after which “the rains will fall,” according to Timofey Moldanov, a prominent anthropologist from the city of Khanty-Mansiysk on the Irtysh River in western Siberia. He said that the shamans had already talked to the spirits, and have “the backing of the higher powers secured” for the upcoming rite. The wildfires are raging in isolated, hard-to-reach areas and don’t directly threaten any settlements, but they pose a serious threat to Russia’s forest resources. Siberia is also suffocating from smoke, which has already become a problem in the Urals on the border between Europe and Asia. Concerns were also raised that the fumes may reach as far as Moscow.

And if you are legally obliged to refer to patients in a way your conscience does not allow, does that mean you are no longer fit to be a doctor?” he asked. “This case is all about whether I am legally clear to say — on the grounds of my religious conscience — No, I can’t call you ‘she’ or ‘he,’ not because I want to hurt you or don’t accept you, but because my Christian convictions simply won’t allow me to do that.” Mackereth warned that redefining words like “he” and “she” and using them in an arbitrary manner renders them meaningless.

"The situation in North Korea is absolutely dire," said Olivia Enos, a policy analyst in Asian studies at the Heritage Foundation, noting that credible reports consistently rank North Korea as the worst place in the world for Christians and anyone of any faith in terms of oppression and human rights violations. "This is emblematic of what it's like to be a Christian inside North Korea." she said, adding that "it's very telling how the Kim regime conceives of religion in general." Communist governments are right to fear religion, she added, citing how peaceful religious movements toppled communist regimes in decades past as in Eastern Europe. "The Kim regime sees religion as potentially threatening to its leadership." "They said 'we are not afraid of nuclear weapons ... we are afraid of someone like you bringing religion into our country and use it against us and then everybody will turn to God and this will become God's country and we will fall," Religious Freedom in North Korea (Video) VERY MOVING – Think you have it bad? Christians and other religious believers in North Korea face the most severe persecution of any religious minorities in the world. It is undeniable that the right to freedom of religion is not respected in North Korea. The Pyongyang regime persecutes Christians in a particularly brutal fashion. Prayer, worship, congregating, and possessing sacred texts are severely penalized by torture and imprisonment. The reality of religion in North Korea is best seen in Kim Jong-un’s demand for total allegiance to himself from the North Korean people. The North Korean constitution does not allow religious freedom because the constitution bars any religious ideology from posing a threat to the political status quo. Many false prophets will arise and deceive many: Nigerian Televangelist T.B. Joshua Is Coming to Nazareth, and Locals Are Furious Temitope Balogun Joshua, arguably one of the most popular TV figures in Africa and Latin America, is set to hold two events at a Christian site in the city Temitope Balogun Joshua, also known as T.B. Joshua, is famous for performing exorcism rituals in his native country, and is set to hold two events at the Christian site in Nazareth. Thousands participate in his prayer sessions and exorcism rituals. Many video clips have been released on social media in recent days announcing the "rock-star" pastor’s visit. “We beg you not to play in the hands of those organizing this type of festival which is an affront to the principles of Christianity, and our national identity, and deals a blow to the social fabric of a city like Nazareth,” they wrote. Church officials quoted text from the New Testament about how believers must be cautious about false messiahs who try to convince people they’re performing miracles. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-nigerian-televangelist-t-b-joshua-is-coming-to-nazareth-and-locals-are-furious-1.7394912 Freaky Religion: Cult of Death: Despite deaths of its chief promoters, Mexican cult of Santa Muerte prospers
July 5, 2019
The cult to Santa Muerte has been gaining more devotees every year in Mexico and has expanded to the United States and areas of Central America. Santa Muerte International grew dramatically from 2008 until her death in 2018, and is now estimated to have more than 10 million followers worldwide. Santa Muerte International has a 70-foot tall statue of Holy Death at their temple on the northern stretches of Mexico City. Here's the fuel for the fire: The “Holy” Quran on the Jews: The Qur’an depicts the Jews as “inveterately evil and bent on destroying the wellbeing of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); as fabricating things and falsely ascribing them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); claiming that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); loving to listen to lies (5:41); disobeying Allah and never observing his commands (5:13); disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more.” This could BREAK the Great Horn and affect the whole world as Daniel prophesies:: $300 oil? US war with Iran spells catastrophe for global economy, expert tells RT 25 June 2019 An armed conflict between the US and Iran would send oil prices soaring and global stocks crashing, which will certainly not play into the hands of Washington, according to political and economic analyst, Shabbir Razvi. He told RT that the United States understands that surging oil prices “will have a dramatic impact on the global economy.” A full-blown war, with Iran shutting down the Strait of Hormuz, could be catastrophic, Razvi said. “From a purely economic angle, it will have a huge impact,” he explained, citing analysts’ data that between 25 to 40 percent of global oil passes through the 29km-long Strait of Hormuz between Oman and Iran. The stock markets will come crashing down; all kinds of other challenges will be faced by the global economy. And certainly Europe is in no position to sustain that kind of increase or hike in the oil price." “Overall, I think just a purely economic and financial situation will be catastrophic for Japan, India, Europe, and many other countries if this situation is taken to its full-blown conclusion as the hawks in Washington wanted it to be,” he said. Jerusalem syndrome: Spiritual experience or psychiatric condition? 5/23/19  Jerusalem locals know they’re surrounded by historical and religious monuments every day. But residents also see a huge influx of tourists who aren’t so used to the surroundings—with some tourists breaking down into what appears like psychotic episodes. These tourists often enter the Holy Land, take in the sights and then begin thinking of themselves as historical, religious characters. Tourists may take on new identities and believe they are on a mission from God or that the end is coming. According to The Telegraph, Israel’s health ministry records around 50 cases of this phenomenon each year. Often these require police involvement and hospitalized treatment. The Telegraph describes several cases, such as a woman who thought she was Mary about to give birth to Jesus. The woman wasn’t even pregnant at the time. Another case occurred when a German chef demanded to use a hotel kitchen to prepare the Last Supper, reports Jerusalem Post. Psychiatrists have dubbed this condition “Jerusalem syndrome” with the idea that somehow the city triggers the tourists’ strange reaction. The Mullahs Promise "Demise of Israel" and American Civilization June 15, 2019 Iran recently produced a program on its state television channel demonstrating that the government is currently practicing missile attacks, with the purpose of carrying out actual attacks on Israel.... The video excerpt included in the television broadcast showed how the operations the Iranians are striving to put into action will bombard Tel Aviv. The Iranian government continues to defy international standards, as it refuses to act as a rational and constructive state, even apart from its repeated malign behavior in the Gulf of Oman this week. Iran's Supreme Guide Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who enjoys the final say in all of Iran's domestic and foreign policies, recently proclaimed to the youth in Iran that they will soon witness the demise of Israel and all of American civilization. This announcement was confirmed on the Supreme Leader's official website. Khamenei made Iran's intentions clear while meeting with students. "You young people," he declared, "should be assured that you will witness the demise of the enemies of humanity, meaning the degenerate American civilization, and the demise of Israel". Israel: The Middle East' Largest Homosexual event: Its coming....Judgment: With glitz and glamor, Tel Aviv celebrates Mideast’s largest Pride parade  250,000 expected at annual event that concludes month of LGBTQ activities; major streets closed; top activist says while march is happy, discrimination is ongoing 14 June 2019 Tens of thousands of people were celebrating in Tel Aviv’s streets Friday as the famously gay-friendly city put on one of the world’s larger Pride parades. Rainbow flags flooded the streets, and organizers said some 250,000 people were expected to take part in the annual event. With the temperature Friday at a balmy 28 degrees Celsius (82 Fahrenheit) clothing was for the most part minimal. The march this year is being held under the slogan “The Fight for Equality,” with activists decrying continuing discrimination by the state. Ohad Hizki, director of The Aguda – Israel’s LGBT Task Force, said marchers hope “to bring about change in Israeli society and send a message that we need to end discrimination against the gay community and create an equal and tolerant society. Very Eye Opening! The Third Jihad is a film that exposes the threat that Islamic extremism poses to the American way of life. In 1988, the FBI discovered a secret Muslim Brotherhood document which laid out their plans to replace the Constitution with Islamic Sharia law. Original document accepted as evidence in Holy Land terror financing trial: document stated that "The Ikhwan [Muslim Brotherhood] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging' its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers..." We better pay attention to this: Christian school raided by California gov't as religious freedom concerns cloud future June 11, 2019 A Christian boarding school run by Teen Rescue in Northern California faces the possibility of closing after it was raided by state investigators earlier this year. The head of the school claims that its First Amendment rights, as well as parental rights, are being violated. River View Christian Academy (RVCA), which serves to help troubled teens from across the U.S., has faced pressure from the Department of Social Services for over a decade over claims that it operates as an “unlicensed community care facility.” According to a lawsuit filed against DSS, a team of 16 armed law enforcement from the California Highway Patrol (CHP), 2 canine units, and 17 social workers searched the school on Jan. 18. What signal do you see? Christianity is dying in Germany while Islam rises Demographics, lack of community cohesion and lack of belief have brought about a mass demolition of churches. 5/20/19 The demolitions will not stop at 540 churches. “We are just beginning this development”, said Albert Gerhards of the University of Bonn. “If there is no rethinking, a sharp increase in demolitions is foreseeable in the coming years”. In Europe's most important country, Andreas Püttmann, a researcher with the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, wrote a book in which he called the situation Gesellschaft ohne Gott, the society without God. But he is wrong… Christianity is dying - but Islam is rising. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/23897 What? Dad faces arrest if he refers to trans-identified daughter by her birth sex: court order April 30, 2019 A father in Canada is facing the possibility of arrest if he refers to his trans-identified 14-year-old daughter as a “girl” after a court ordered that the teen be allowed to begin taking testosterone. The teenager's mother supports the gender transition while the father is opposed. After the British Columbia Supreme Court ruled in February to allow the 14-year-old girl, Maxine (not her real name), to begin taking drugs to transition to look more like a boy, the court issued a “protection order” this month in an attempt to stop her father (known as Clark) from continuing to privately or publicly refer to his daughter as a female. “This court has already determined that it is a form of family violence to AB for any of his family members to address him by his birth name, refer to him as a girl or with female pronouns (whether to him directly or to third parties), or to attempt to persuade him to abandon treatment for gender dysphoria,” Marzari writes. The Beast System is getting connected: Enterprise Biometrics Month: New Frontiers in Enterprise Security April 11, 2019  Biometric technologies tended to be seen in the past as hi-tech tools for use by military and law enforcement agencies, but the biometrics boom of the last couple of decades has seen a proliferation of such technologies in additional areas, with the enterprise sector being one of the most important. The massive wave of digitization that has swept the business world has led to the need for new forms of security for the protection of internal assets; and at the same time, the longstanding need for on-premise physical security is starting to be transformed by new, highly effective biometric access control technologies. As momentous as this trend is, biometrics in the enterprise still has something of the shock of the new when it comes to actual deployments – however mainstream biometric technologies are now, they are definitely still seen as hi-tech, almost to the point of science fiction. With that in mind, a good approach to understanding this revolution is to take a look at some of the more innovative solutions that are currently blazing a trail in the enterprise sector. A number of solutions have sought to take advantage of another trend that digitization has delivered to the workplace: Bring Your Own Device culture. Employees are increasingly using their own smartphones at work, whether it’s for accessing important files or simply replying to emails. We’re used to using our phones for everything, so why not add authentication to the mix? Ipsidy, for example, launched a new app last year that is designed to let employees verify their identities with a selfie: you simply take a photo of yourself, and then the Ipsidy App uses facial recognition technology to create a biometric template that you can be matched with going forward. https://findbiometrics.com/enterprise-biometrics-month-new-frontiers-in-enterprise-security/?omhide=true This is the basis of the New World Order: The Power and Urgency of the Golden Rule 04/10/2019 The Golden Rule is a maxim that is found in one form or another in most of the world’s major religions and cultures. That is why in 1993, 143 religious leaders spanning the world’s major faiths endorsed the Rule as part of the landmark document that came out of Chicago Parliament of the World’s Religions, called “Declaration Toward a Global Ethic.” That universal ethic was recently upheld and supplemented in the seventh Parliament of Religions in Toronto in November 2018. In its positive and directive form, the Rule enjoins us to treat and act towards others as we would want others to treat and act towards us. One can analyze the basic thrust of the Rule at many different levels. At the most basic level, the Rule directs us to go beyond self-centeredness or selfishness to think about others and their preferences as fellow-human subjects The Rule and the associated ethic of reciprocity have a fruitful application to interreligious dialogue. The rule then becomes: do not view and judge another religion by the standards and norms of your own. Rather, attempt to see the “other” religion from the eyes of its own religious practitioners. In other words, see the other religious devotee as a fellow religious seeker, who approaches the Divine along different paths than your own. Another Eye Opener for American Believers - James Dobson: Christians targeted by dark new bill James Dobson: Christians targeted by dark new bill 'A thinly veiled attempt to finish off religious liberty in America once and for all' 03/27/2019 James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family and the James Dobson Family Institute, the author of dozens of books on family and adviser to presidents, warns the Democrats’ proposed Equality Act is a really, really bad deal for the nation. Dobson, on behalf of his James Dobson Family Institute, wrote, “Make no mistake – the so-called Equality Act is nothing but a thinly veiled attempt to finish off religious liberty in America once and for all, which ought to be plainly obvious based upon a cursory reading of the First Amendment.” The proposal, H.R. 5 and S. 788, would provide special protections for the LGBT community throughout American society. It would state that religious beliefs are not a defense in a dispute between gay rights and constitutionally protected religious rights. “I wish I could say I was shocked to see the speed with which Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats have brought to committee the sweet sounding but entirely treacherous Equality Act. This decision demonstrates a frightening willingness by those on the left to advance a radical social agenda at a time when our nation already faces so many other divisive challenges,” he said. “Simply put, by creating a protected class of citizens out of the LGBT community, this bill places Christians who believe in traditional marriage at grave legal and civil jeopardy,” said Dobson. : Coming To America - Hate Speech Law: PENNSYLVANIA MUSLIM LAWMAKER: PRAYER IN NAME OF JESUS IS “ISLAMOPHOBIC" Time for all Christians to convert to Islam. Anything else would “offend." March 27, 2019  Ibrahim Hooper, call your office: there was an outbreak of “Islamophobia” Monday at the Pennsylvania State Assembly. Luckily, Muslim state Rep. Movita Johnson-Harrell was there to blow the whistle on this bigotry and hatred. The “Islamophobia,” according to journalist Todd Starnes, was committed by another state Representative, Stephanie Borowicz, who prayed this to open a legislative session: “Jesus, you are our only hope. At the name of Jesus, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess Jesus, that you are Lord.” Johnson-Harrell was livid. The prayer, she declared was “highly offensive to me, my guests, and other members of the House.” In a statement, she added that the prayer “blatantly represented the Islamophobia that exists among some leaders — leaders that are supposed to represent the people.” Something to think about SERIOUSLY: Contradicting Jesus on End Time Bible Prophecy March 27, 2019 End time Bible prophecy is perhaps the most debated topic in all of scripture among Christians. Healthy debate is expected, given the multiplicity of denominational backgrounds and varying levels of Bible knowledge. While differing views about the end-times can be a good thing, there is a dangerous unbiblical precedent being set. Bible prophecy is being attacked from within the church. Let's look at the deception that Jesus and the apostles warned us would come. Jude 1:17-19 It is the all-out assault on end-time Bible prophecy proliferated by a growing number of leaders in the church. When these people call Bible prophecy a distraction or make fun of it, they aren't calling out the sensational, they are maligning the Word of God. READ ARTICLE: The Almighty Intervened: 2 Islamic Groups Target Nigerian Christians - 300 Killed While 72 Others Supernaturally Saved from Firing Squad March 20, 2019 A story of tragedy reportedly turned into a supernatural rescue for 72 of those Nigerian Christians who were facing a Boko Haram firing squad. Four leaders of the Christians were told to renounce their faith in Jesus and revert to Islam. When the men refused, they were executed in front of their families. Then the wives of the four men were told to renounce their faith or their children would be executed. That's when something remarkable happened. The children in the group said the Lord Jesus appeared to them that night and told them "All would be well," according to sources with the Barnabas Fund. They were told not to fear, that He would protect them, and that they should not renounce Him but stay strong knowing that "He is the way, the truth, and the life." The next morning, the terrorists lined the children against a wall and told the four mothers they could save their kids if they would only renounce Jesus Christ and return to Islam. The mothers refused. As the soldiers prepared to fire, something happened. They dropped their rifles and started to grab at their heads, screaming and shouting "Snakes! Snakes!" Some of the soldiers ran off, and others dropped dead where they stood, according to the Barnabas Fund. After one soldier had dropped his weapon in fear, one captive attempted to pick up the rifle in order to fire at the fleeing terrorists. He stopped when a four-year-old child told him about angels who were protecting them. "You don't need to do that. "You don't need to do that. Can you not see the men in white fighting for us?" The lives of all 72 Christians were spared and they were relocated to a safer region of Nigeria. When the Barnabas Fund's contact asked the group's pastor why he thought Jesus appeared to them and not to others, he gave this answer: "He does not need to. You have over 200 versions of Scripture and many people able to explain the Bible to you... These people do not." http://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/cwn/2019/march/2-islamic-groups-target-nigerian-christians-300-killed-while-72-others-supernaturally-saved-from-firing-squad We call it child molestation: Yemen: Girls as young as three being married off to much older men MAR 5, 2019 Why is this even considered an option? Because child marriage is sanctioned in Islam. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad consummated his marriage with (i.e., raped) Aisha when she was nine, and the resultant fact that child marriage is accepted in wide swaths of the Islamic world. Child marriage has abundant attestation in Islamic tradition and law. Turkey’s directorate of religious affairs (Diyanet) said in January 2018 that under Islamic law, girls as young as nine can marry. “Islam has no age barrier in marriage and Muslims have no apology for those who refuse to accept this” — Ishaq Akintola, professor of Islamic Eschatology and Director of Muslim Rights Concern, Nigeria Girls as young as three are being married off in war-stricken Yemen because their families are unable to afford to feed them, according to charity Oxfam. Starving Yemeni families have revealed how they have had no choice but to force their young daughters to marry much older men, in order to use the dowry for food and shelter to save the rest of the family. The war in Yemen has triggered what the United Nation has called the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, with more than ten million people at risk of starvation. https://www.jihadwatch.org/2019/03/yemen-girls-as-young-as-three-being-married-off-to-much-older-men My words will never pass away: Firefighters praise God after not 1 Bible is burned in fire that destroyed church March 5, 2019 Members of the Coal City Fire Department in West Virginia acknowledged God’s power Sunday after a devastating fire burned down a local church but failed to destroy any of the Bibles inside. “Picture this, a building so hot that at one point in time, firefighters had to back out. In your mind, everything should be burned, ashes. Not a single Bible was burned and not a single cross was harmed!! Not a single firefighter was hurt! Prayers for the pastor and the congregation today,” the fire department wrote in a post on Facebook about the fire that destroyed the Freedom Ministries Church early Sunday morning. “Out of every structure fire I have responded to in the past 20 years, not one Bible has burned, they might have smoke damage or charred around the edges but you could still read every page. We gave the owners back a lot of Bibles over the years. It just goes to show that God's word is more powerful than the devil's fire and fury no matter how hot it gets. BIG Trouble Brewing- Who is: King of the Mountain? Israel bans top Palestinian Waqf officials from Al-Aqsa Move follows Waqf Council's decision to defy a 16-year Israeli ban and reopen the Bab al-Rahma building in Al-Aqsa. 3/4/19 Police in Israel have extended bans on top Palestinian officials who oversee Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa compound from entering the holy site, in a move analysts warned could further escalate tensions. Jordan's Waqf ministry condemned the bans on Sunday, describing them as "intimidation of the [Waqf] Council members" and a "direct targeting of the Hashemite [Jordanian] guardianship of Islamic and Christian holy sites". Jordan oversees the Al-Aqsa compound via the Waqf Council according to a 1967 status quo agreement with Israel. The deal prohibits non-Muslim worship at Al-Aqsa, but many Palestinians accuse Israel of trying to undermine it. Following his ban, Salhab told Arab48 news website that with the expulsion of scholars and guards from the site, Israel's right-wing government is trying to "ignite a religious war" as it continues to "facilitate Israeli extremists' intrusions" into the compound. “That day will be a day of wrath-- a day of distress and anguish, a day of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness—" Zephaniah 1:15 As the Perfect Storm Approaches, Most Americans Are Partying Instead of Preparing  February 26th, 2019 In America today, most people either believe that the future is going to be totally wonderful or that the future will be totally wonderful once we get rid of Trump. Because so many of us have adopted one of these false narratives, most Americans are partying instead of preparing, and that is going to mean big trouble when things really start going haywire. I can’t think of a time when Americans were more apathetic about getting prepared, and yet this is exactly the time when the urgency to get prepared should be at the highest. Earlier today, my wife Meranda and I were discussing the fact that every single element of “the perfect storm” is coming together just as we had anticipated. One by one, the pieces are all falling into place, and I share the most recent things that my research has uncovered with all of you on a daily basis. Unfortunately, most Americans are absolutely convinced that there is no reason to get prepared for hard times because everything is going to be just great. Unfortunately, all parties eventually come to an end, and the end of this one is going to be particularly painful. When disaster strikes, most Americans are going to be out of resources very, very rapidly. One survey found that 78 percent of all American workers are living paycheck to paycheck. That number is a little higher than other figures that I have seen, but everyone agrees that a solid majority of the country is barely scraping by each month. When things get really bad, I honestly don’t know how most people are going to make it. A number of years ago, a survey asked Americans how long they thought they would survive if the electrical grid went down for an extended period of time. Nearly 75 percent said that they would be dead before the two-month mark. Be careful what you sow: Convicted child killer in 1997 cold case was strangled in Oklahoma prison cell, officials say 2/27/19 An inmate who was convicted in the 1997 cold case murder of an 8-year-old girl — whose body was never found — was strangled in his Oklahoma prison cell last month, officials said. Palma, who was convicted in 2017 of killing 8-year-old Kirsten Hatfield, was killed by his cellmate Raymond Pillado, authorities said. Both inmates were serving life sentences for murder. Anthony Palma, 59, died from “ligature strangulation and blunt force trauma to the head” on Jan. 11 while he was in his cell at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester, KFOR reported. Texas ‘prophet’ followers call ‘Jesus in the flesh’ shown in sex tape with multiple women FEBRUARY 25, 2019  Self-styled Texas prophet and internet preacher Joshua Holmes, who went viral in recent months for his ministry theatrics that led many of his female followers to start calling him “Jesus in the flesh," has been captured in leaked video recordings indulging in explicit sexual activity with two women who are not his wife. “This is a sex tape. This is a sexual escapade captured on the phone,” Reid told his audience about the recordings. Holmes, a flamboyant young minister, whom many critics have dismissed as a dangerous departure from orthodox Christianity, has been defended by his followers as “Jesus in the flesh” as he professes healings and "money miracles." War is coming-one of the ones at the end: Are Israel and Iran on a Collision Course in Syria? VIDEO With rhetoric and tit for tat measures increasing between Israel and Iran, the question on everyone’s mind is if the Jewish state and the Mullahs in Tehran are heading to all-out war. One ominous sign is the fact that the IDF has placed iron domes and patriot missiles in the Tel Aviv vicinity, a move that indicates a preparation for a serious conflict. While this may be just cautious behavior, the fact is that Syria already fired a missile back at Israel after the IAF’s last mission. While it is assumed that the US Syria pull out will weaken Israel and has inspired Iran to push forward, President Trump has moved most of the fighting force into Iraq, just over the the Syrian border. Given Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s statement of support to Israel to bomb Iranian positions in Iraq as well, it would seem that this means the IDF has a green light to expand the conflict before the Iranians have a chance to secure a defensible hold on Syria. https://israelunwired.com/are-israel-and-iran-on-a-collision-course-in-syria/ What kind of gospel is this? Liberal Lutheran pastor melts purity rings into vagina sculpture, presents it to Gloria Steinem FEBRUARY 15, 2019 Liberal Lutheran Pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber unveiled a sculpture of a vulva made entirely of old purity rings to protest evangelical purity culture and presented it to pro-abortion second-wave feminist Gloria Steinem. Bolz-Weber, the founding pastor of Denver’s House for All Sinners and Saints, showed off the sculpture — which was made by melting down the old jewelry — during the 2019 Makers Conference last week. “Every single thing and person that seemed so powerful and inescapable, I name them and then I just go ‘footnote,’” Bolz-Weber told conference attendees. “I mean, seriously, Pontious Pilate? He’s a footnote. Your bully from middle school? Footnote. Your depression? Footnote. Your s----y boss? Footnote. All of those things are very real, and the harm that they have on us and the world is also real. But to me, the whole point of having faith is it allows us to believe in a bigger story than the one we tell ourselves. Those purity rings are a footnote,” she declared, unveiling the sculpture. “The [rings] we couldn’t melt down spell out the word ‘freedom’ and were woven into this heart,” Bolz-Weber said, gesturing toward the sculpture. “Isn’t it amazing?” she said while presenting the sculpture to Steinem amid audience applause. The controversial pastor, who has defended the use of so-called “ethically sourced porn,” first announced her art project at the 2018 Makers Conference, where she explained she wants to “take down” the “church's teachings around sex” and evangelical purity culture. “This thing about women that the church has tried to hide and control and that is a canvas on which other people can write their own righteousness ― it’s actually ours,” Bolz-Weber told HuffPost. “This part of me is mine and I get to determine what is good for it and if it’s beautiful and how I use it in the world.” She then put out a call on Twitter, asking any women who no longer use their purity rings to donate them to her for use in the sculpture. In exchange for donating their ring, the pastor said she would give each person a copy of her new book, Shameless: A Sexual Reformation, in which she argues that Church teaching on sexuality has caused harm to many people. Turkish computer game incites Jerusalem Muslims to wage jihad and “liberate” Temple Mount Feb 15, 2019 A new computer game, “Mosque Guards,” is “being distributed in eastern Jerusalem that is suitable for smartphones and the home computer.” The game was developed by “a Turkish society called ‘Reading Time.’” It’s no surprise that Turkish developers are behind it. Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a fervent supporter of the Palestinian jihad. He called last March for an “army of Islam” to attack Israel on all sides. Erdogan also proclaimed that “‘Jews in Israel’ beat Palestinian women and children, telling his audience at an Istanbul meeting of the Turkey Youth Foundation that Muslims must ensure Israelis are ‘taught a lesson.’” He went on: “But as Muslims, will confront these people [the Jews] if they have courage to deal with us and we’ll teach them a lesson.” https://www.jihadwatch.org/2019/02/turkish-computer-game-incites-jerusalem-muslims-to-wage-jihad-and-liberate-temple-mount Children of the Grave: Kids: Chasing Paradise (Trailer) Feb 11, 2019 Clarion's forthcoming film Kids: Chasing Paradise https://kidsthemovie.com is a powerful new film that takes an unflinching look at the brutal exploitation of youth by extremists worldwide.

What a smart Syrian knows about Iran's Agressivness: Syrian activist slams Iran and shocks viewers in this epic debate (Video) January 28, 2019 In this debate between Syrian opposition activist and writer Issam Zeitoun and Lebanese professor Ra’ed Al-Masri is too good. Zeitoun actually believes that Iran is the “bad one” and Israel is good. There are a few points he makes that are especially noteworthy.

NY Times says robot marriage becoming mainstream; pastor believes church partly to blame JANUARY 24, 2019  "The idea that flesh-and-blood humans may actually forge fulfilling emotional, or even sexual, relationships with digital devices is no longer confined to dystopian science fiction movies," the newspaper declared on its Twitter feed. “It happened first with porn, then with Internet dating, then with Snapchat sexting. One by one these technologies come along and there’s this wave of panic. But as people start to use these technologies, they become part of our lives,” he told the newspaper. "Since we are made in the image of a Creator God, we too will one day be creating autonomous AI that, much like sci-fi cylons, may be virtually indistinguishable from present-day humans. I think what we are experiencing now is our initial exploration into that space. In the future, we will see more and more cyborg humans that will complicate the issue even further," Benek explained Chinese artificial intelligence engineer Zheng Jiajia made headlines when he married the robot he built in 2016, having given up on finding a human spouse.

Iran is hurting: Drought-stricken, parched Iran is sinking – literally Massive sinkholes around Tehran are threatening vital infrastructure, including the capital’s international airport 24 January 2019  Fissures appear along roads while massive holes open up in the countryside, their gaping maws a visible sign from the air of something Iranian authorities now openly acknowledge: the area around Tehran is literally sinking. Stressed by a 30-year drought and hollowed by excessive water pumping, the parched landscape around Iran’s capital has begun to sink dramatically. Seen by satellite and on foot around the city, officials warn that what they call land subsidence poses a grave danger to a country where protests over water scarcity already have seen violence. Over the past decade, Iran has seen the most prolonged and severe drought in more than 30 years, according to the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization. An estimated 97 percent of the country has faced some level of drought, Iran’s Meteorological Organization says. They wil all have "one mind" Israel’s president hails interfaith dialogue January 24, 2019 President Reuven Rivlin chaired on Jan. 23 a moving meeting in Paris between leaders of the Jewish and Muslim communities in France. Rabbis and imams sat in a circle and spoke with the Israeli president about dialogue and coexistence between religions and communities in both Europe and the Middle East. "There is a widespread belief that religion is at the heart of ethnic tension. But this is a mistake. The belief that links Judaism and Islam must be the key to peace, not a justification for violence. Now, when nationalism and religious extremism are rising in the world and in the West, your leadership is vital," said Rivlin. Rivlin’s proactive approach could be explained in part by his upbringing in Jerusalem, which is home to Jews, Arab Muslims, Christians, Armenians and more. "This meeting reminds me of my childhood when I learned that it is possible to find a common language between different peoples and religions. I was brought up to understand the importance of knowing and fully understanding the beliefs of other people," said Rivlin in Paris.

The calculation is the same as last year’s, which means it’s still the closest we’ve ever gotten to the end of the world since 1953, when Soviet dictator Josef Stalin died and the U.S. and the Soviet Union had their nuclear arsenals pointed at each other. “There is nothing normal about the complex and frightening reality we are describing today," said Rachel Bronson, president and CEO of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, which oversees the clock, in a press release on Thursday. "Though unchanged from 2018, this setting should be taken not as a sign of stability but as a stark warning to leaders and citizens around the world.” How much longer will you put up with this Yahovah?

According to The Daily Mail, Greg, Jody and Jayden Rogers are believed to be Britain’s first two-generation trans-identified family. “We haven’t encouraged Jayden to do this, despite what people think and we are hurt at the suggestion,” Greg Rogers, who was born a female but began transitioning at the age of 16, told the news outlet. “She has no idea that I’m transgender,” he added. “Having been through this myself, I have conflicting emotions about [him] deciding [that he] doesn’t want to be a boy anymore.

Shaped to resemble a piece of candy, the nine-foot-tall statue bears the Kingdom’s emerald flag emblazoned with the Arabic inscription, “There is no god but Allah, and Mohammed is the prophet.” It was created by French sculptor Laurence Jenkell in 2011 as part of the larger installation “Candy Nations” which depicts G20 countries as sugary delights…. Although the installation was originally created in 2011 to convey “an optimistic message of unity beneath external differences,” its placement at the World Trade Center raises questions given longstanding accusations directed toward Saudi Arabia in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks.

Dead Sea, River Jordan where Jesus was baptized, shrinking fast in ‘disaster,' experts say JANUARY 03, 2019 Bodies of water mentioned in the Bible, including the Dead Sea, the Sea of Galilee, and the River Jordan, where Jesus Christ was baptized, are shrinking fast in a looming “disaster,” experts say. Sky News reported that the Dead Sea in particular is seeing its water levels decline faster than ever before, losing as much as five feet each year. "If we keep taking fresh water from nature, from the Sea of Galilee, or from the Euphrates for example, or the Nile, we will eventually ruin the local environment. We need to take care of nature or else we all sink with it." The River Jordan, once strong, has now been reduced to a trickle, scientists added in a warning of an "environmental disaster in slow motion. Manufacture more water in the Mediterranean, produce renewable energy in the desert areas and create healthy interdependencies amongst us Israelis, Palestinians and Jordanians first. Or we're going to see potentially more conflict rising out of these increasingly scarce water resources," he said. Sick Imposters: Priest who said he urinated in communion wine, was attracted to satanism gets 25 years for child porn December 26, 2018 The Rev. W. Thomas Faucher, a retired Idaho priest who once claimed to have urinated in communion wine at least once at his church, was sentenced Thursday to 25 years in prison without parole for what investigators said was the most disturbing child pornography case they had ever seen. According to the Idaho Statesman, Faucher, 73, who pleaded guilty in September to five felony crimes stemming from amassing thousands of child porn images and videos on his home computer, will also have to register as a sex offender. Over several months, Brumbaugh said verified chats and emails showed Faucher was “actively seeking interests with gay men, satanic interests” as well as the rape and killing of minors. The detective described the contents of the images police found on Faucher’s cellphone, computer and Dropbox account containing more than 2,500 files displaying child pornography described as violent, disturbing, torturous and included children crying. Pray and get your miracle! : Incurable tumor disappears from Texas girl’s brain after community lifts her in prayers  DECEMBER 18, 2018 Nearly six months after an 11-year-old old Texas girl was diagnosed with an incurable brain tumor called diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, or DIPG, doctors can no longer find a trace of it after her family and friends prayed for a miracle. Dr. Virginia Harrod with Dell Children’s Medical Center told KVUE that DIPG is a rare and devastating disease. "It is very rare, but when we see it, it is a devastating disease. You have decreased ability to swallow, sometimes vision loss, decreased ability to talk, eventually difficulty with breathing,” she said. The doctor explained that the 11-year-old had gone through weeks of radiation treatment but there was no expectation that the tumor would just disappear.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram released an extensive, eight-month investigative report Sunday recounting the stories of women who were victims of sexual misconduct, including molestation and rape when they were minors, in IFB churches. Yet their perpetrators, who were in positions of church leadership, were able to weave away from accountability, and never faced criminal charges. As has been similarly uncovered in the Roman Catholic church in recent years, the network of these churches often covered up their actions and facilitated the relocation of offenders to other congregations. Over 200 current or former church members, young and old alike, shared what happened to them with the Texas newspaper pointing to a culture of strict, unquestioned male authority.

The Urus, with prices starting at about $200,000 in 2017, according to Fortune, has a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine that produces 650 horsepower. It also boasts an automatic eight-speed transmission, can travel 0 to 62 miles per hour in 3.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 189 mph.

Pope: Christians murdered by Muslims are testament to God’s plan for peaceful coexistence of Christians and Muslims December 10, 2018 “The lives of 19 religious men and women martyred during the Algerian civil war are a testament to God’s plan of love and peaceful coexistence between Christians and Muslims, Pope Francis said.” A more serious analyst would note that they were, after all, murdered, so they might not be that great a testimony to peaceful coexistence between Christians and Muslims. But this is the Pope who has said that “Muslim terrorism does not exist.” So he affirms that “by beatifying our 19 brothers and sisters, the church wishes to bear witness to her desire to continue to work for dialogue, harmony and friendship,” ignoring the fact that the murder of these people drowned their desire for “dialogue, harmony and friendship” in their own blood. There may be some room for dialogue, but only if it is informed and realistic, not based on wishful thinking and willful ignorance. “Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14) Archeological Verification: King Hezekiah’s personal seal found in unprecedented discovery December 6, 2018 King Hezekiah lived around 2,800 years ago. At the archaeological digs right outside the Temple Mount, in the City of David, a seal that he used was just found. It almost seems like the sky is the limit when it comes to archaeological discoveries in Jerusalem. Why is it so important to find a seal that says, “From Hezekiah the son of Achaz, King of Judea.” The issue is that this seal is so clearly something that was used by Hezekiah. He was not just another name in the Bible. He was a central personality – the King – and a good one at that. The Biblical narratives from 2,800 years ago can now be held in one’s hand in the form of a seal that the King himself used. https://israelunwired.com/king-hezekiahs-personal-seal-found-in-unprecedented-discovery/ Its heading back to this place: Rare interfaith Temple Mount confab highlights a ‘Christian awakening’ Participants come for the ‘conspiracy theories’ about where Temple was located, stay for the activism in unusual show of evangelical Christian support for Jewish right-wing cause December 5, 2018 Some 150 evangelical Christians and Jews gathered in Jerusalem on Wednesday in a highly unusual interfaith conference on right-wing Temple Mount activism that aimed to dispel what its organizers described as an insidious, viral “hoax” taking hold in the Christian world — that the two historical Jewish temples had never been located on the iconic, holy, politically explosive compound. “Listen, it was evangelicals who helped usher in the move of the embassy to Jerusalem with President Donald Trump.

Pairing AI and Nukes Will Lead to Our Autonomous Doomsday As we commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, which transformed how wars are fought and won, the world again stands on the precipice of a dramatic revolution in warfare, this one driven by artificial intelligence. While both AI and the debate about the implications of autonomous decision capabilities in warfare are only in their early stages, the one area where AI holds perhaps the most peril is its potential role in how and when to use nuclear weapons. Advances in AI are on a fast track, and the United States is indisputably in an AI arms race with two of our most formidable competitors, both nuclear powers, China and Russia — the former with a smaller but growing nuclear arsenal in size and sophistication, and the latter, which along with the U.S., possesses 90 percent of the global nuclear weapons stockpile. Early and determined U.S. leadership is essential to ensure that we are not just competing but also jointly cooperating with our nuclear-capable adversaries to ensure that AI does not destabilize nuclear command and control. The stakes are high; the consequences potentially existential.

Willful Ignorance: Pakistani PM denigrates Jesus, wants world convention to prevent insult to Islam ‘There is no mention of Jesus in history,’ says Imran Khan, ‘but the entire life of Muhammad, who was Allah’s last prophet, is part of history’ 30 November 2018 Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has called for an international convention banning speech deemed insulting to Muslims and claimed there does not exist any historical “mention” of Jesus. Khan, a former cricketer with a reputation as a playboy, whose first wife has Jewish roots, has worked to portray himself as a devout Muslim in recent years since becoming one of Pakistan’s most prominent political figures. In a speech on November 20 marking the Prophet Muhammad’s birthday, Khan denigrated prophets from Judaism and Christianity who are also revered in Islam, claiming that — unlike Muhammad — there was “no mention of them” in history. “Every few years, in some Western country, our dear Prophet is blasphemed against and dishonored. What is the consequence of this? Muslims become angry. We take to the streets in protest, [protesters] break things in our country… It enables the enemies of Muslims to tell people in the West: ‘See, Islam is a big religion that spreads violence,'” he said. He also said Pakistan’s lobbying on the issue to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the United Nations was leading to less tolerance for alleged blasphemy in the West. This will take the world by surprise: Winds of Change: The Case for New Digital Currency By Christine Lagarde, IMF Managing Director (International Monetary Fund) November 14, 2018 Let me begin with the big issue on the table today—the changing nature of money. When commerce was local, centered around the town square, money in the form of tokens—metal coins—was sufficient. And it was efficient. The exchange of coins from one hand to another settled transactions. So long as the coins were valid—determined by glancing, scratching, or even biting into them—it did not matter which hands held them. We are at a historic turning point. You—young and bold entrepreneurs gathered here today—are not just inventing services; you are potentially reinventing history. And we are all in the process of adapting. A new wind is blowing, that of digitalization. In this new world, we meet anywhere, any time. The town square is back—virtually, on our smartphones. We exchange information, services, even emojis, instantly… peer to peer, person to person. And this is key: money itself is changing. What role will remain for cash in this digital world? Already signs in store windows read “cash not accepted.” Not just in Scandinavia, the poster child of a cashless world. In various other countries too, demand for cash is decreasing—as shown in recent IMF work. And in ten, twenty, thirty years, who will still be exchanging pieces of paper? This is not science fiction. Various central banks around the world are seriously considering these ideas, including Canada, China, Sweden, and Uruguay. They are embracing change and new thinking—as indeed is the IMF. Today, we are releasing a new paper on the pros and cons of central bank digital currency—or “digital currency” for short. It focuses on domestic, not cross-border effects of digital currency. The paper is available on the IMF website. More fundamentally, the case is about change—being open to change, embracing change, shaping change. Technology will change, and so must we. Lest we remain the last leaf on a dead branch, the others having decided to fly with the wind. We need to harness change so it is fair, safe, efficient, and dynamic. https://www.imf.org/en/News/Articles/2018/11/13/sp111418-winds-of-change-the-case-for-new-digital-currency “As it was in the days of Sodom” Scientists: 'superheated blast from the sky' destroyed Dead Sea cities, pointing to Sodom in Bible NOVEMBER 25, 2018 Scientists have found that a "superheated blast from the skies" destroyed cities near the Dead Sea 3,700 years ago, which biblical analysts are saying echoes the destruction of Sodom. Science News reported that the new findings were revealed at the annual meeting of the American Schools of Oriental Research last week by archaeologist Phillip Silvia of Trinity Southwest University in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The scientists discovered radiocarbon dating and unearthed minerals that instantly crystallized at high temperatures at what used to be cities and farming settlements north of the Dead Sea, suggesting that a massive air-burst, possibly by a meteor, destroyed communities in a 15-mile-wide circular plain. Some of the strongest evidence for a low-altitude meteor explosion was found at the remains of the city of Tall el-Hammam, where radiocarbon dating shows that the mud-brick walls of nearly all structures were suddenly wiped out 3,700 years ago. Other remarkable finds show that the outer layers of pieces of pottery seemed to have melted into glass, as a result of extremely high temperatures. The Times of Israel pointed to other archaeological research, such as a 2013 Biblical Archaeology Review article by TeHEP co-director Dr. Steven Collins, revealing that the Tall el-Hammam site offers evidence it could have been the Biblical city of Sodom. https://www.christianpost.com/news/scientists-superheated-blast-from-the-sky-destroyed-dead-sea-cities-pointing-to-sodom-in-bible.html Beast Stuff: Facial recognition technology will change the way we live | The Economist  Facial recognition technology will transform the way we live in 2018.

And make no mistake about another point as well: once anything — anything at all — is established as off-limits to criticism, you are not living in a free society, but in a tyranny, for those who adhere to the ideology that cannot be criticized can do anything they want to you and others, and you won’t be able to say a word about it. So what Pakistan is trying to do with this initiative is establish over the entire world the tyranny of Sharia and its blasphemy laws that forbid criticism of Islam. Speaking at the Eighth Global Forum of the United Nations Alliance of Civilization, Pakistan’s Ambassador to the UN, Maleeha Lodhi, said the premier had made a major announcement to counter Islamophobia and incitement to hatred being witnessed in some parts of the world. “Hate narratives are spreading in several parts of the world; Islamophobia is on the rise and diversity is being seen not as a source of enrichment but as a threat, and politics of fear seem to be replacing politics of hope,” she asserted. In the face of such troubling trends, the Pakistani envoy said, the role of bridge builders and peacemakers becomes even more pivotal. She also stressed the importance of countering Islamophobia and incitement to violence and hatred that is being witnessed in some parts of the western world by the negative depiction of Muslims. Catholic leaders enter final week of debate on how to receive LGBT churchgoers October 21, 2018 Over the past three weeks, Catholic bishops have dissected and debated an array of flashpoint issues impacting young Catholics, and this week are slated to wrap up one of the most divisive: how the church should receive those within the gay and broader LGBT community. The 25-day synod of bishops will end this week with the adoption of a final document, as voted on by the 26 bishops, priests and cardinals from all over the world. The Vatican seemingly embraced that possibility in its preemptory document, acknowledging “LGBT” – which stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender – for the first time in its history. Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput asserted his speech, according to the Associated Press, that “there is no such thing as an ‘LGBTQ Catholic’ or a ‘transgender Catholic’ or a ‘heterosexual Catholic,’ as if our sexual appetites defined who we are.” READ MORE: Destroyed for lack of knowledge? (Hosea 4:6) Witches Outnumber Presbyterians in the US; Wicca, Paganism Growing 'Astronomically'  Oct 10, 2018 The population of self-identified witches has risen dramatically in the United States in recent decades, as interest in astrology and witchcraft practices have become increasingly mainstreamed. While data is sparse, Quartz noted, the practice of witchcraft has grown significantly in recent decades; those who identify as witches has risen concurrently with the rise of the "witch aesthetic." "From 1990 to 2008, Trinity College in Connecticut ran three large, detailed religion surveys. Those have shown that Wicca grew tremendously over this period. From an estimated 8,000 Wiccans in 1990, they found there were about 340,000 practitioners in 2008. They also estimated there were around 340,000 Pagans in 2008." Pew Research Center studied the issue in 2014, discovering that 0.4 percent of Americans, approximately 1 to 1.5 million people, identify as Wicca or Pagan, meaning their communities continue to experience significant growth. "It makes sense that witchcraft and the occult would rise as society becomes increasingly postmodern. The rejection of Christianity has left a void that people, as inherently spiritual beings, will seek to fill," said author Julie Roys, formerly of Moody Radio, in comments emailed to The Christian Post Tuesday. "Plus, Wicca has effectively repackaged witchcraft for millennial consumption. No longer is witchcraft and paganism satanic and demonic," she said, "it's a 'pre-Christian tradition' that promotes 'free thought' and 'understanding of earth and nature." Yet such repackaging is deceptive, Roys added, "but one that a generation with little or no biblical understanding is prone to accept." 1 Thessalonians 5:3: "While they are saying, "Peace and safety!" then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape." Astana meet calls for peace and stability in world  October 13, 2018 Political and faith leaders gathered in Kazakhstan's capital of Astana to present a united call for peace and stability in the world. The call was made during the 6th Congress of the Leaders of World and Traditional Religions, an event held every three years in the Central Asian giant. Over 80 delegations from more than 46 countries attended the congress, with senior politicians and faith leaders representing all the world's major faiths on hand. "Peace and security are the most important common values of all nations in the world, and messages of peace should be the basis of the international order." "Today, the greatest responsibility for all religious and thought members, and community leaders, is to defend the fundamental rights of every human being on earth, regardless of race, belief, color, geography, or status; staying on the side of justice." Representatives of Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Buddhism and other faiths called on humanity to unite to ensure peace and harmony in a joint communique that stated, "We appeal to all people of faith and of good will to be united during this difficult time and to assume their responsibility in ensuring peace and harmony on our planet."

Toronto Closes First-Ever Sex Doll Brothel Week Before Opening Day August 31, 2018 Toronto has shut down what was going to be the first-ever sex doll brothel in North America just a week before it was slated to open. Because of a decades-old bylaw, city officials in the North York region of Canada's most-populous city said this week that the Aura Dolls brothel would be illegal because it falls under the category of "adult entertainment parlor" and is therefore not allowed in the neighborhood in which it had planned to set up shop, Yet another company a few miles away, Kinky S Dolls, which opened in May of last year, maintains it's actually the first "adult love dolls brothel in North America." The owner reportedly has approximately 500 male clients and the shop has a business license and is run like a sex retail store. Clients have the option of renting the dolls first before buying them. According to the Toronto Sun, an hour with one of the dolls at Aura Dolls costs $120, and double that for two dolls. The shop had planned to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. https://www.christianpost.com/news/toronto-closes-first-ever-sex-doll-brothel-week-before-opening-day-227126/ What is going on here? Satan is on a rampage: An alarming number of pastors have taken their own lives in the last five years. And despite the increasing prevalence of suicide nationally, and the troubling rates at which the epidemic has been affecting certain groups of clergy, many churches remain silent on the issue. In the fall of 2013, the Rev. Teddy Parker Jr.'s wife found him in the driveway of their Warner Robins home in Georgia with a "self-inflicted gunshot wound." Many were stunned. Parker never believed in suicide and often admonished his parishioners against it. "I'm very surprised because he didn't preach that. He preached totally against it. It's something that the congregation don't really understand," Russell Rowland, a member of the Bibb Mount Zion Baptist Church in Macon, Georgia, where Parker was leader, said at the time. "Everybody is just kind of stunned right now. I think a lot of people are just trying to understand why that happened. We're just praying to the Lord for guidance on this," he said. A few months after Parker's death in April 2014, then pastor of Community Bible Church in High Point, North Carolina, Robert McKeehan, 42, was found hanging inside his home. He was the same age as Parker and was also a father of two. Three months later it was the Rev. Allen "Tommy" Rucker. Two months after that it was Pastor Robert McKeehan. Less than a month later is was Pastor DB Antrim. Then three months later it was the Rev. William "Bill" Scott who also killed his wife Charlotte. Less than a year later in May 2015 it was Phil Lineberger, former president of the Baptist General Convention of Texas and pastor of Sugar Land Baptist Church. Three months after that in August 2015 it was the Rev. Seth Oiler. About a year later in August 2016, it was Pastor Lawrence "Larry" DeLong. Less than six months later and just before Christmas in December 2016 it was Pastor Daniel Randall who also took the life of his 27-year-old daughter Claire. Then last December, after a brutal struggle with his mental health, suicide expert and senior pastor of Christ the Rock Community Church in Menasha, Wisconsin, Bill Lenz, took his life too.

What a lie," Graham wrote on Facebook Wednesday. "Hitler probably also claimed that killing the Jews would be good for their economy. Legalizing abortion hasn't added anything to our country, it has only taken away. It has cost this nation more than 60 million lives — lives precious to God. Clinton said: “Whether you fundamentally care about reproductive rights and access right, because these are not the same thing, if you care about social justice or economic justice, agency — you have to care about this. It is not a disconnected fact — to address this T-shirt of 1973 — that American women entering the labor force from 1973 to 2009 added three-and-a-half trillion dollars to our economy. Right? The net, new entrance of women — that is not disconnected from the fact that Roe became the law of the land in January of 1973. So I think, whatever it is that people say they care about, I think that you can connect to this issue.” Some feed sheep – some eat sheep: Celebrity Pastors Falling Hard; Evangelicals Must Be More Suspicious: Theologian Aug 13, 2018 In the wake of the fall of some celebrity megachurch pastors, evangelicals must start becoming much more suspicious of who they trust, a prominent Baptist theologian is warning. Olson pointed out that in recent years, "several founders and leaders of evangelical, independent mega-churches have fallen off their celebrity-pastor pedestals hard. It's happening again, right now, at perhaps the best-known and most influential of them all." His comments were made a day after the entire elder board of Willow Creek Community Church in Illinois resigned over accusations of sexual misconduct and abuse surrounding founder and former senior pastor Bill Hybels. Hybels, who has maintained his innocence, has been accused by several women of inappropriate conduct, including suggestive comments, extended hugs, an unwanted kiss, and invitations to hotel rooms. Most recently, a former employee accused him of groping and oral sex. Besides moral failings, fraud has also been a big concern for large churches. Pete Evans, lead investigator at the Dallas-based Trinity Foundation, which has been tracking religious fraud and helping victims of religious fraud for almost 30 years, recently told The Christian Post that billions are being lost in church fraud annually due to a lack of transparency. https://www.christianpost.com/news/celebrity-pastors-falling-hard-evangelicals-must-be-more-suspicious-theologian-226752/ Another wolf in sheep's clothing... End Times Cult Leader Says He Is Biblical Jacob, Elijah and John; Sentenced for Child Bigamy, Sodomy Aug 9, 2018 A doomsday cult leader who claims he is the reincarnation of several biblical prophets has been sentenced to 26-to-life in prison on the charges of child bigamy and sodomy in Utah. John Alvin Coltharp, 34, was sentenced in Manti's 6th District Court on Wednesday, according to Fox 13. The man, who led an apocalyptic group known as the "Knights of the Crystal Blade" in Spring City, pleaded guilty of inflicting trauma on six children. The cult leader kidnapped four children last year in central Utah. Police found two of them in a mobile home near Cedar City, while the other two children were found hiding in empty water barrels near freezing temperatures. Samuel Shaffer, another cult member who was charged, said that he was "betrothed" to Coltharp's 8-year-old daughter, while Coltharp himself was married to his 7-year-old daughter. He made several claims during his sentencing, including that he is the reincarnation of Old Testament prophets Jacob and Elijah and of John. https://www.christianpost.com/news/end-times-cult-leader-says-he-is-biblical-jacob-elijah-and-john-sentenced-for-child-bigamy-sodomy-226696/ Signs signs signs... Earth Changes Accelerate: What Is Causing These Record Heatwaves, Massive “Firenadoes”, Giant Dust Storms and Large Earthquakes? Major changes are happening to our planet, and the experts are groping for answers. In recent days some have suggested that what we are witnessing is the natural progression of “man-made climate change”, but that explanation has generally been received with a lot of skepticism. Something truly dramatic appears to be happening to the globe, and it isn’t just because the amount of carbon dioxide in the air suddenly reached some sort of magical “tipping point”. But without a doubt, temperatures are getting warmer. In July, Death Valley experienced “the hottest month ever recorded on the planet”. Over in Europe, Saturday was being billed as Europe’s “hottest day ever”, and temperatures in Lisbon, Portugal were expected to top 107 degrees both Saturday and Sunday. On the other side of the planet, the crippling drought in Australia is devastating farms “like a cancer”, and things are so hot in North Korea that the government has declared “an unprecedented natural disaster”. In California, extreme heat and bone-dry conditions continue to fuel some of the worst wildfires in the history of the state. According to Cal Fire, more than 15,000 personnel are on the lines of 18 large blazes across California on Saturday. So far, the fires since June have killed 8, burned more than 559,000 acres and damaged or destroyed over 1,800 structures. Roughly 17,000 homes continue to be threatened by these fires, and about 45,000 residents are under evacuation.

Pompeo exits North Korea emptyhanded, leaving US with three options -- all of them bad July 8, 2018 Secretary of State Mike Pompeo seemingly failed to gain a single concession from North Korea after meetings Friday and Saturday in the communist nation’s capital of Pyongyang to discuss America’s demand that the North get rid its nuclear weapons. In fact, it seems both sides can’t even agree on what was discussed or how the talks went, with the North now even threatening to walk away from its vague pledge to denuclearize. Following Pompeo’s talks with high-ranking North Korean government official Kim Yong Chol, North Korea accused the Trump administration of making a “unilateral and gangster-like demand for denuclearization” that was “deeply regrettable.” Mike Pompeo is not naive. In fact, the New York Times reported Saturday: “Privately, Mr. Pompeo has said that he doubts Mr. Kim will ever give up his nuclear weapons. And those doubts have been reinforced in recent days by intelligence showing that North Korea, far from dismantling its weapons facilities, has been expanding them and taking steps to conceal the efforts from the United States.” For there are only three possible paths for the Trump administration now, all of which are unappealing. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2018/07/07/what-now-pompeo-exits-north-korea-emptyhanded-leaving-us-with-three-options-all-them-bad.html Snapshot of Training Children to Hate Jihad Generation is a documentary film that will explore and expose the complex topic of the exploitation of children by extremists. Jihad Generation will give voice to voiceless children abroad and in the United States and start an urgently needed conversation about the growing problem of child indoctrination and incitement. Childhood is supposed to be a sacred time of innocence. A time to grow and play, to explore and learn about the world. All children should have a peaceful upbringing and the opportunity to pursue a meaningful life. But today, radical regimes and organizations are systematically indoctrinating the next generation of kids to embrace violence and hatred. At best, these children internalize toxic values and become full of hate. At worst, they become terrorists themselves. Turning kids into terrorists is a horrifying violation of their human rights as defined by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. https://clarionproject.org/jgen/ Church folks with their conscience seared with a hot iron: Record Number of Christians Think Pornography Is Acceptable 6/8/2018 According to a new Gallup survey released this week, 43 percent of Americans now consider pornography to be "morally acceptable," a seven percent spike from last year and the highest level since Gallup's Values and Beliefs survey began in 2011. The 2018 survey notes, "Compared with a number of demographic traits or characteristics that help shape a person's moral perceptions of pornography —including gender, age, importance of religion in one's life and marital status—two subgroups saw a big year-over-year spike in their acceptance of pornography. These are nonmarried individuals and men aged 18 to 49." The percentage of nonmarried respondents who find pornography morally acceptable was 50 percent, an increase of 15 percent. Married individuals accepting pornography was at 35 percent. Gallup reports 67 percent of men aged 18 to 49 said pornography is morally acceptable, up 14 points from 2017. But women's age categories also revealed higher percentages. Women aged 18 to 49 showed a four-point increase and women 50-and-over jumped seven points. The survey confirmed that the shifting perceptions of porn also affects the church. For those who claim that "religion is very important" to them, 22 percent said pornography is morally acceptable, a 6-point rise over 2017. For respondents saying that "religion is fairly important," there was an 8 percent increase (from 42 to 50). These results are a wake-up call for the church. Christians must strongly proclaim that pornography is both morally unacceptable and also harmful to individual and relationships. Dr. Richard D. Land, president of Southern Evangelical Seminary, said, "Americans who want to see moral reformation or "re-formation" in their culture should do all they can to confront and minimize pornography's impact on the nation's citizens, especially its young people. Pornography is the propaganda for a paganized sexual morality which will submerge our culture in a tidal wave of sexual deviance if uncontested and uncontrolled. With 68 percent of men in the church viewing porn on a regular basis, it is hard for the church to take the moral high ground. Healing must start from within. Thankfully there is a movement of men who are breaking free from pornography through a powerful cinematic DVD series called the Conquer Series. https://www.charismanews.com/culture/71548-record-number-of-christians-think-pornography-is-acceptable Islam: Religion of Peace? Man arrested for sacrificing daughter to 'appease Allah during Ramzan' Jun 10, 2018 A man was arrested on Saturday in Rajasthan's Piparcity area for allegedly sacrificing his daughter to appease Allah during the ongoing holy month of Ramzan, police said. Nawab Ali's elder daughter Rizwana (4) was found dead with her throat slit at his residence on Friday morning, Superintendent of Police said. Ali came under suspicion as the house was locked from inside, Dushyant said. When grilled by the police, he admitted to have killed his daughter to obtain Allah's blessings during Ramzan, the SP added. At midnight, he took her downstairs, made her sit in his lap and recited Quranic verses before slitting her throat with a sharp-edged knife, the police added. He then came back upstairs to sleep with the others, they said. http://www.wionews.com/india-news/rajasthan-man-arrested-for-sacrificing-daughter-to-appease-allah-during-ramzan-143369 Another NWO article in mainstream media: Multipolarity: The foundation of a New World Order June 7, 2018 The fallout from globalization is paving the way for nationalism and the rise of protectionism across the world. Some observers see the rise of nationalism in the West as the emergence of a new world order. But historical evidence suggests that nationalism has never been successful in shaping a peaceful world order that is sustainable. World War I and World War II are classical examples of how nationalism always fails to provide growth and prosperity in the world. But there is likely a solution to the existing problems of the current world order –multipolarity. Multipolarity is a system based on shared values – the idea that each credible nation has a moral responsibility to help to collectively maintain peace and prosperity in the world. There is an urgent need for a global institution that reflects the current realities of the global power structure. Key institutions like the IMF, the UN and the World Bank must recognize the legitimacy of the new power club in order to maintain their authority. Emerging nations must be given a substantial say in how these leading institutions are run. It’s time to change the nature of the global economy – from one that is war-based to one based on sharing. The sharing economy will not bring about the end of capitalism, but it will certainly redefine the system by creating more prosperity at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder. New institutions should be established to redefine the global agenda and order. The world at a large will be better off if we make a transition from globalization to multilateralism. http://www.atimes.com/multipolarity-the-foundation-of-a-new-world-order/ Revelation 8:8 “ And the second angel sounded, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood”; Scientists discover asteroid, hours later it strikes Africa 6th June 2018 Merely hours after scientists discovered a six-foot-wide asteroid, the space rock struck Africa, causing awe and alarm. On Tuesday, scientists revealed that the meteor that lit up the sky over Botswana, Africa, early on Saturday evening, was named 2018 LA. When it was spotted on June 2 by the Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona, it was said to be almost as near as the moon. Reports pointed out that while NASA tracks 90 percent of near-Earth objects that are larger than 150 meters in diameter, it misses lots of the smaller ones until they’re close by. According to scientists, the rock entered the atmosphere traveling around 38,000 miles per hour at 6:44 pm Botswana time, creating a fireball, lining up with the predictions. While small asteroids either hit or fly close by the Earth - they are often discovered only a short time before the actual impact, if any. Scientists are tracking what they call “potentially hazardous” asteroids, that actually have a fair chance to hit Earth - as part of research around the world to track Near Earth Objects or NEOs. According to experts, some asteroids that do hit Earth, such as 2018 LA, typically occur with little to no warning. https://www.bignewsnetwork.com/news/257422583/scientists-discover-asteroid-hours-later-it-strikes-africa Israel Palestine heading to showdown: How can Israel and Palestine Make Peace?

How is the FBI countering that threat?” Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) asked at the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Subcommittee hearing to examine the FBI’s annual budget request. “It seems to be very difficult to identify these individuals.” Wray told the senator she put her finger “on what I would call sort of our highest counterterrorism priority at the moment.” “We have about 1,000 investigations into exactly the kind of people you’re describing, covering all 50 states as I’m sitting here right now. And that’s not even counting, you know, the al-Qaeda investigations, the traditional ISIS investigations, the domestic terrorism investigations, but just the group you’re talking about,” he said. https://www.jihadwatch.org/2018/05/fbi-1000-homegrown-jihad-terror-investigations-active-in-us-not-counting-islamic-state-and-al-qaeda-suspects IF THE BLIND LEAD THE BLIND- THEY BOTH FALL INTO THE DITCH: Why Jesus Is No Longer the Only Way for Many American Christians May 19, 2018 Just over two months ago, as winter landed its final blows of snow in New York City, Michael A. Walrond Jr. of Harlem's 10,000-member First Corinthian Baptist Church landed an ideological blow of his own in traditional Christendom. People take many paths to God, he argued, noting that he personally celebrates the paths others take in finding Him — even if that path does not involve faith in Jesus. "And so the key is you believe in God. And whatever your path is to God I celebrate that. Personally, I celebrate that," Walrond said. While Walrond's openness as a Christian to the idea that there are many paths to God beyond Christianity may have been shocking to some, new research shows a widespread departure among Christians from traditional Bible teaching such as Jesus being the only way to God. And some scholars have blamed this ideological shift in part on influential divinity schools and charismatic church leaders. Ken Stone, academic dean at Chicago Theological Seminary where Walrond serves as a trustee and adjunct faculty member, told The Christian Post that Walrond's celebration of "multiple paths to God" and the wisdom and truth found in various religious traditions is in line with the school's approach to faith. It is, said Stone, the "future of theological education." https://www.christianpost.com/news/why-jesus-is-no-longer-only-way-for-many-american-christians-223601/ If the church is this confused - how do we expect the ones around us who don’t know God to act? Transgender Church Leader changes from "Donald" to "Donnie" 5/15/2018 The Rhode Island State Council of Churches says Anderson its executive minister, shared with the board she is transgender and is transitioning. The organization granted Anderson a three-month sabbatical and notes she'll change her name from Donald to Donnie. The Rev. Donald Anderson, 70, executive minister of the Rhode Island State Council of Churches, will take a three-month leave beginning June 1 to complete the transition to becoming a woman. Anderson is an American Baptist. “Right now, at this point, this is still a very personal thing,” Anderson told Religion News Service by phone Tuesday (May 15). “We’re working this through as a family. When the fall comes, I’ll be happy to talk to people in depth.” Anderson has been executive minister, the day-to-day head of the state council, for 11 years. She has been noted for her political positions, including opposing numerous actions of the Trump administration. Speaking with RNS, Anderson affirmed that the response of council members has been positive. “The response has been overwhelmingly supportive,” Anderson said. “That’s not to say some people have (not) had some negative response, but (it’s been) over 98 percent supportive.” https://religionnews.com/2018/05/15/rhode-island-council-of-churches-director-takes-leave-for-gender-transition/ The Trend: People selling out for Convenience: All the Rage in Sweden: Embedding Microchips under Your Skin 5/14/2018 Wallets are such a bother.

Why do we still have to lug around several different credit cards, or keys for irritating doors to the car and the office, when technology has far surpassed the need for any of them? Lots of people are moving to store these sorts of things in their smartphones, of course, using services like Apple Pay and smart locks. But phones can be lost and hacked.

Supporting 16% of the world’s inhabitants is daunting enough, but it is even more so when recognizing that population is crammed into an area one-third the size of the United States. Then consider that India only possesses 4% of the world’s fresh water and the crisis can be more fully realized. India may not be the only nation in this predicament, but theirs is at a stage more critical than most. Severe lack of regulation, over privatization, general neglect and rampant government corruption have led to multiple generations thirsting for more than just a few drops of hazard free water. The situation has grown to the point that regional disputes have risen over access to rivers in the country’s interior. Those disputes take on a global scale in conflicts with Pakistan over the River Indus and River Sutley in the west and north and with China to the east with the River Brahmaputra. Surface water isn’t the only source reaching a breaking point.

Asteroid the size of a football field makes 'surprise' flyby past Earth 4/16/2018 A football-sized asteroid – called 2018 GE3 – buzzed by Earth Sunday in one of the closest encounters the planet has seen in a while. The 2018 GE3 asteroid was discovered just one day before it skimmed past Earth in what scientists are calling a "surprise" flyby. The asteroid that flew by Earth Sunday was up to six times the size of the meteor that exploded over Russia's Ural Mountains in Chelyabinsk back in February 2013. That meteor – estimated to be about 10 tons and 49 feet wide – entered the Earth's atmosphere at a hypersonic speed of at least 33,000 mph and shattered into pieces about 18-32 miles above the ground, injuring 1,100 people (mostly from flying glass), the Russian Academy of Sciences confirmed.

"It was completely unprotected. It was wide open. All the things around it were burned. Everything in there was destroyed, and there laid my Bible," Wendy Crawley told NBC 26. The family's home in North Augusta was completey destroyed and they lost their two dogs. Crawley said that she still hears the crackling of the fire in her mind more.

One of the triggers of the syndrome comes from unrealistic expectations before visiting holy sites. MARCH 17, 2018 Jerusalem syndrome” is a diagnosis commonly applied to explain the behavior of certain unique “characters” who are sometimes seen roaming the streets of the city. Donning biblical garb, experiencing delusions or hallucinations, taking on a different name, and refusing to leave the city or Israel itself are some of the symptoms that are considered evidence of this unusual affliction. Is Jerusalem to blame for these episodes? Is there even such a thing as Jerusalem syndrome? What is it about this place that has such a strong and sometimes dangerous effect on some people? “The ‘Jerusalem Syndrome’ – Fantasy and Reality: A survey of accounts from the 19th century to the end of the second millennium,” published in the Israel Journal of Psychiatry and Related Sciences (1999), aims to define this phenomenon and looks at nearly two centuries of patterns of tourists who experience a temporary insanity and often assume the role of prominent biblical figures. “When people land here, specifically on religious- based tour groups, they have very high expectations of spiritual significance that were built up prior to the trip; and when they get to these places and their expectations are not met, they become disappointed, and this triggers the symptoms of what is known as Jerusalem syndrome,” Witztum explains. “Or the expectations are built up so much that, upon reaching such places, especially around the Old City, they become delusional and lose themselves in the moment, triggering a psychotic or schizophrenic episode.” A German chef walked into a hotel, asked for access to the hotel’s kitchen and spoke with the chef and the kitchen staff. After a while, he told the staff that he would be taking over the kitchen because he was sent by God to prepare the “Last Supper,” as the end of days was coming. Naturally, the staff refused and a scuffle ensued, before the police were called. http://www.jpost.com/In-Jerusalem/Jerusalem-syndrome-543868?utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=18-3-2018&utm_content=jerusalem-syndrome-543868 Need an Exorcism? Apply online! Is demonic possession ruining your life? Catholic sect lets you apply for exorcism online March 5, 2018 An independent Catholic church which specializes in demonic possession is so busy carrying out exorcisms that you can now order the ‘service’ online. What’s more, it’s free of charge. The Vatican News reports that the number of people seeking out exorcisms has tripled in a short time. The demand is so great that the Catholic Church is scrambling to train more priests in demon fighting to tackle the backlog. Meanwhile, a California- based independent Catholic church called the Order of Exorcists has risen to meet this demand, even streamlining its service by offering an easy-to-use exorcism application form. The order is not part of the Catholic Church, rather a branch of the faith which is under the independent Catholic jurisdiction called the Sacred Order of Saint Michael the Archangel. It claims to have its roots in the ancient Old Roman Catholic Church of the 12th Century. “Members are from many religious orders; priests, seminarians, paranormal investigators, and bishops of many jurisdictions, from around the world,” the order says on its website. “Our priests are available, after the medical and psychological reports are reviewed, with the approval of their bishops, to perform the rite of exorcism.

Punished for Not Chanting "Death to America, Israel, Britain" March 3, 2018 Some sympathizers with extremist Muslims even try to insist that these messages are merely examples of "cultural differences". The goal of these sympathizers seems to be to mislead a vulnerable populace into thinking that they should not worry about these chants or about the open and passionate threats against their communities. This dumbing-down is especially intriguing because the same people who attempt culturally to explain, justify or minimize the meaning of "Death to America" and "Death to Israel" have never lived under Islamic rule or even studied those fundamentalist states. Yet they take it upon themselves to explain the meaning of these chants as if they know better than the people issuing them. Ultimately this conditioning of the Western culture allows the extremist Muslims to expand their agenda slowly and covertly, while those who raise the alarm are shoved to edge of society and ostracized as "racists" or "Islamophobes," while the public remains lulled into a slumbering state. The question is: if "Death to" does not mean what it says, why is it that when anyone in a targeted nation or group is killed, the extremist Muslims go out of their way to celebrate? At first, when such extremist Muslim chants began, many took them lightly. It seemed foolish to believe that such threats were actually serious. But soon some Islamic groups, such as Iran, Al Qaeda and ISIS, and their followers, started transforming these chants from words into actions: crashing airplanes into buildings, slitting throats, ramming trucks into people, murdering people in restaurants, nightclubs or simply on the street. Other examples of this behaviour include the Suicide bombing in Lebanon that killed 241 American servicemen (220 Marines, 18 sailors, and three soldiers); the Khobar Towers bombing, the bombing of the USS Cole with the direct support and involvement of Hezbollah, Al Qaeda and Iran. Any scholar or policy analyst who has studied these matters even a little would be cognizant of the fact that there exists an abundance of evidence of the Islamic regimes and groups killing Americans, Israelis, and Westerners. Moreover, such chants by leading imams and states serve to incite further global hatred and antagonism towards Christians, Americans, Jews, Israelis and people in the West. Such chants do lead to acts of terrorism and will again. They inspire the radicals and their strict followers to feel the urge to take matters into their own hands and kill "the enemy". By fulfilling the calls of Islamic these rulers, many followers believe that in the next world, they will receive "blessings", such as Allah (God) giving them 72 virgins in the afterlife. https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/11953/punished-chanting-death The Stage is being set: US Evangelical Leaders and Megachurch Pastors Visit Jerusalem, Pray in Magdala Feb 21, 2018 More than a dozen evangelical leaders and megachurch pastors from the United States have come together in the biblical city of Jerusalem this week to meet with political, religious and business leaders and to experience parts of Israel they have never seen before.

Greek culture has presented the world many gifts, from democracy to sculptures like the Venus de Milo. Now witness the unusual and raucous party for a god you may never have heard of - Dionysus. Hundreds of festival goers donned fake penises and masks in honor of the deity, who in Greek mythology is said to have been the product of Zeus’ relationship with a mortal woman. Footage of the unusual event reveals how revelers enjoying the night out paraded through the historical center of Athens chanting and carrying large phallic objects.

A serious one. At any moment, a life-threatening global pandemic could spring up and wipe out a significant amount of human life on this planet. The death toll would be catastrophic. One disease could see as many as 100 million dead. It sounds like a horrifying dream. It sounds like something that can’t possibly be true. But it is. The information comes from Tedros Adhanom, Director General of the World Health Organization. He spoke today at the World Government Summit in Dubai, and according to his assessment, things are not looking good. “This is not some future nightmare scenario,” said Tedros (as he prefers to be called by Ethiopian tradition). “This is what happened exactly 100 years ago during the Spanish flu epidemic.” A hush fell across the audience as he noted that we could see such devastation again, perhaps as soon as today. Tedros was equal parts emphatic and grave as he spoke: “A devastating epidemic could start in any country at any time and kill millions of people because we are still not prepared. The world remains vulnerable.” https://futurism.com/officially-path-global-pandemic/ Don't Judge a Book by its Cover: Can someone be long-haired and Christian? Feb 10, 2018 Meet 15-year-old Ben. Ben has long hair. Ben listens to wildly inappropriate music. Ben is rebellious, bitter and has no respect for authority. Ben smokes behind the barn and slings a vocabulary saltier than beef jerky. Maybe that’s all true. Perhaps this great church friend of mine is all those things. Or maybe he just has long hair. Let’s confess – most of us have made quick judgements about people who don’t fit our mental image of a modern-day disciple of Christ. Too often we want white teeth, short hair on males, a light amount of makeup on females, neat clothes and maroon minivans. What would we see if we looked on Ben’s heart? What would we find if we didn’t let our eyes get tangled in his hair? Ben is more Christ-like than most people I know. He’s thoughtful, soft-spoken, respectful and kind-hearted. He’s talented, self-aware and forgiving. He has a long list of leadership qualities and owns that kind of warm personality that makes you want to be around him. Ben’s not perfect, of course, and he has teenage moments like every other kid, but he starts each day desiring to be a little bit better than the day before. He wants to be even kinder, more patient and more willing to serve. He’s working to become a better son, brother and friend. My dear friend knows that the day will come for shaves and haircuts. In fact, he’s planning to donate his long hair to Locks of Love, a well-known nonprofit that provides hairpieces to patients battling cancer and other illnesses. Sounds like something Christ would do, doesn’t it? http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2018/02/10/can-someone-be-long-haired-and-christian.html Here it Comes!

Demon-busting Irish priest calls for more exorcists Feb 2, 2018 An Irish priest wants the Catholic church to increase the amount of exorcists in its ranks to combat evil which he believes is on the rise. The spooky religious practice dates back to the Dark Ages, when demonic possession was the go-to explanation for many problems, including mental illness. The practice is still very much alive within the Roman Catholic Church which published guidelines for exorcism as recently as 1999. Now, Irish priest Fr. Pat Collins has claimed that demand for the banishing of demons has increased significantly. He added that he can’t see why exorcists are not being used more commonly to investigate incidents that appear to involve the “malicious activity” of the devil. In 1999, the Vatican renewed a decree on exorcisms under Pope John Paul II. In the document, the church describes exorcism as a ‘pious supplication’ through which god can set Christians free from dangers, including the “snares of the devil.” It directs priests, who have been given the authority to carry out exorcisms, to begin by sprinkling holy water before reciting a number of prayers before the ‘possessed’ person. The priest must then place his hands on the person before breathing on their face.“When these things have been completed, the exorcist shows the troubled person the lord’s cross, which is the source of every blessing and grace, and the sign of the cross is made over the person, by which Christ’s power over the devil is shown,” the renewed guidelines state. https://www.rt.com/news/417656-catholic-church-exorcism-priest/ Revelation 11:2: “Leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles.

Why Arabs and Muslims Will Not Accept Israel as the Jewish State JANUARY 19, 2018 Unsurprisingly, Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital aroused massive outrage in the Arab and Islamic world. This was for two main reasons — one religious and one nationalist. The religious reason is rooted in Islam’s conception of itself as a faith whose mission is to bring both Judaism and Christianity to an end, and inherit all that was once Jewish or Christian: land, places of worship, and people. In Islam’s worldview, Palestine in its entirety belongs to Muslims alone, because both Jews and Christians betrayed Allah when they refused to become followers of the prophet Muhammad. Their punishment is to be expulsion from their lands and the forfeiture of all rights to them. Throughout the history of Islam, Muslims turned churches into mosques, including the Great Mosque of Ramle, the Bani Omaya Mosque in Damascus, the Hagia Sofia of Istanbul, and many Spanish churches. The reason is their belief that Christianity, like Judaism, is nullified by Islam, making churches unnecessary. For both religious and nationalist reasons, the Arabs and Muslims are incapable of accepting Israel as the Jewish state that it is. The question that Israelis, both Jewish and Christian, are forced to ask themselves is whether they are going to recognize the Muslim and Arab problem but tell them in no uncertain terms that Jerusalem belongs to the Jews, and that they are going to have to learn to live with it — or whether they are going to give in to the Arab and Muslim dreamers who refuse to accept the reality that the Jewish religion is alive and well. https://www.algemeiner.com/2018/01/19/why-arabs-and-muslims-will-not-accept-israel-as-the-jewish-state/# Messing in God's Territory-Danger ahead: An AI expert explains how robot-human offspring would work Can robots and humans make babies together? This is a serious question inspired by some of the advances already achieved in the 21st century by researchers in cell biology and in a discipline variously known as biorobotics, synthetic biology, or bionanotechnology. Suddenly the very real possibility has appeared on the horizon of the robots of the future manipulating human skin cells to create human sperm and human eggs, and from them, using the Ohio discovery of TNT as the basis, creating an entire human-robot baby whose embryo can be nurtured and carried through pregnancy by a mother surrogate. By injecting genetic code into skin cells à la TNT, the Ohio researchers have paved the way for the genetic code of a robot, containing some of the characteristics of the robot, to be passed on to its offspring along with human genetic code. This is how I believe it will be possible, within the foreseeable future, for humans and robots to make babies together.

Temple Institute head Rabbi Yisrael Ariel responded to the special prayer session held on Thursday at the Western Wall, when thousands gathered to pray for rain. In an interview with Arutz Sheva, Rabbi Ariel said, "At the beginning of the Second Temple Period, before the Second Temple was built and the Jews brought their sacrifices in the courtyard, Haggai the Prophet said that when there is an arid year with no rain, the reason is that the Holy Temple has not yet been built." "So instead of awakening, we're going to visit the Western Wall and pray? Each person lives in their own private home, but the gentiles are crowing in our Holy Temple. How do our ears not hear this?" According to Rabbi Ariel, the solution to a drought is simple: Ascend the Temple Mount and open its gates. "This is why today is a fast day, so that we can repent, stand up, and fix the destruction [of the Temple - ed.]," he concluded. https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/239993 The war is coming: Iran IS strong This video discusses the problem of what will happen if we take on Iran.

Furthermore, Salman warns that his country “will not wait until the battle takes place in Saudi Arabia” and as such, “will work toward having the battle in Iran.” The video, with English narration and captions in Arabic, garnered over 860,000 views on YouTube as of Tuesday, and was widely shared on Twitter with translations in French, Turkish, Farsi, Spanish and Hebrew.WATCH VIDEO: https://www.haaretz.com/middle-east-news/1.829993 Could the "antichrist" come through the back door? A ray of hope in chaotic times December 19, 2017 Even in these chaotic and perilous times, there is reason for hope. Humanity finds itself at a major crossroads: Do we choose the path of selfish separatism and inequality based on greed and competition, leading to the destruction of ourselves and planet Earth; or the path of cooperation and sharing leading to global peace and prosperity?

At their head stands a being of the most extraordinary compassion and insight: Maitreya, the World Teacher. As the one awaited under various names by all major religious traditions, and as a Teacher for all humanity, Maitreya, along with the Masters, is here to guide us safely into the future. According to the Ageless Wisdom tradition, as it is known, these highly advanced Teachers have lived in the remote areas of the world through the ages, helping and guiding humanity from behind the scenes.

With respect to Iran’s continuing involvement with North Korea’s nuclear program, there is growing speculation based partly on the recent occurrences noted below. U.S. intelligence agencies, according to US Senate Intelligence sources, have photographs and tapes of scores of Iranian defense officials living for weeks at a time in Pyongyang. It is suspected that these Iranian visitors along with their hosts are jointly working on nuclear technological advances. These increasing contacts are cause for alarm according to a Senate Intelligence Committee because they suggest that Iran is indeed racing to develop nuclear weapons-- but mainly inside Korea not in Iran-- due to UN oversight of Iran. Iran is currently in negotiations to acquire North Korea’s longest-range ICBM’s to counter Israeli and American threats. This, as pressure mounts given mixed signals emanating from other nuclear arsenals, which given the right cash incentive, may well cooperate with the growing number of Iranian detractors, Arabs, and Sunni Muslims globally among others. The three DRNK Nuclear warheads and the ‘dirty bomb’ deliveries to Iran allegedly took place during the spring of 2017. They were transported under heavy guard from Pyongyang’s Sunan International Airport on four separate North Korean regularly scheduled passenger flights of its Air Koryo airline to Iran Air at Russia’s Vladivostok airport in Russia. https://ncr-iran.org/en/news/nuclear/23995-menacing-nuclear-cooperation-between-iran-regime-and-north-korea Narrowing down the conflict to the temple Mount: Al-Aqsa Mosque: Five things you need to know December 6th 2017 Here's a breakdown of why the al-Aqsa Mosque (Temple Mount) compound in Jerusalem is a constant point of contention in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Instead, they need to be relentless in seeking a common good for their nation and its diverse peoples. The Parliament of the World's Religions is committed to holding leaders to such standards, because the religions and spiritual communities of our world expect this of their own leaders and those in power in other spheres of human society. It is out of this commitment that we condemn the irresponsible retransmission of false and racist videos against the great religious tradition of Islam by the President of the United States, as well as his entirely inappropriate words to demean a political opponent at an event meant to honor Native Americans who served the United States with the deepest of commitments. We invite other religious and civic leaders to join together in condemnation of the dangerous and disrespectful behavior by the President, who should apologize and exercise the discipline required of his office, his nation, and his position on the world's stage. https://parliamentofreligions.org/blog/2017-12-04-1451/condemning-president-trumps-disrespect-indigenous-peoples-retweeting-anti?utm_source=Email%20Updates&utm_campaign=e3dfa2f51e-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_05_04&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_5516d1b278-e3dfa2f51e-87741585&mc_cid=e3dfa2f51e&mc_eid=b99c7fea40 This would put America back to the Dark Ages: US Must Act on EMP Terror Warnings Not only China and North Korea know about EMPs, but also Russia, Iran, Pakistan and India similarly know about EMP and have incorporated the concept in their military doctrine.

In knowing what the impact of an EMP would be on electrical grid systems and all electronics, these countries are undertaking efforts to harden their own electronics to mitigate EMP effects on their technology-based systems.

Earth's rotation, as with many things, is cyclical, slowing down by a few milliseconds per day then speeding up again. To start, the research team of geologists analyzed every earthquake to occur since 1900 at a magnitude above 7.0. They were looking for trends in the occurrence of large earthquakes. What they found is that roughly every 32 years there was an uptick in the number of significant earthquakes worldwide. The team was puzzled as to the root cause of this cyclicity in earthquake rate. They compared it with a number of global historical datasets and found only one that showed a strong correlation with the uptick in earthquakes. That correlation was to the slowing down of Earth's rotation. Specifically, the team noted that around every 25-30 years Earth's rotation began to slow down and that slowdown happened just before the uptick in earthquakes. The slowing rotation historically has lasted for 5 years, with the last year triggering an increase in earthquakes. To add an interesting twist to the story, 2017 was the 4th consecutive year that Earth's rotation has slowed. This is why the research team believes we can expect more earthquakes in 2018, it is the last of a 5-year slowdown in Earth's rotation .https://www.forbes.com/sites/trevornace/2017/11/20/earths-rotation-is-mysteriously-slowing-down-experts-predict-uptick-in-2018-earthquakes/#6f3e8f9b6f24 They ought to be locked up: THE VIDEO ABOUT SHARIA LAW YOUTUBE KEEPS TAKING DOWN NOVEMBER 20, 2017 This is just plain disgusting.

Police formed a human barricade between a few dozen Muslim residents trying to pray Friday in the streets of Clichy-la-Garenne and more than 100 demonstrators trying to stop them. As the Muslims chanted “Allahu akbar,” or “God is great” in Arabic, the demonstrators sang the Marseillaise.

"I have been shocked and saddened by the actions of the school, which, in my opinion, reflect an increasing trend of Christians being marginalized in the public square, and unpopular beliefs silenced," said Joshua Sutcliffe, 27, a teacher at a state secondary school in Oxfordshire. The controversy began after Sutcliffe, who also pastors at an evangelical church in Oxford, reportedly said "Well done girls" to the teenager, who was born a female but identifies as a male, and a friend when he spotted them studying. He apologized when corrected by the student, but six weeks later he was suspended from teaching after the pupil's mother lodged a complaint. Following an investigation, he has been summoned to a formal disciplinary hearing this week to face misconduct charges for "misgendering." He also faces claims that he is breaching equality policies by referring to the pupil by name rather than as "he" or "him," http://www.gospelherald.com/articles/71595/20171113/christian-teacher-suspended-misgendering-transgender-student-political-correctness-gone-mad.htm Public calls for prayer under vicious attack Texas church shooting: Keep my thoughts and prayers out of your political agenda November 6, 2017 As well-intentioned Americans pray for their countrymen who were just gunned down while worshipping God, gun control advocates are bashing them for their expression of faith. It’s one thing to hold strong opinions about gun control. But it’s entirely different to direct anger towards people of faith after such a horrific tragedy. Just because you might not believe in prayer, doesn’t give you the right to publicly insult those who do. In some ways, this outrage against prayer is emblematic of national trends. As America grows increasingly hostile to Christianity, inappropriate and insensitive rhetoric regarding expressions of faith has become more acceptable. It seems the same people who pride themselves on advocating religious and cultural “tolerance” are the least tolerant when it comes to American Christians. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2017/11/06/texas-church-shooting-keep-my-thoughts-and-prayers-out-your-political-agenda.html Moral Satanist: ??? Satanic Temple billboard protesting corporal punishment rankles Texas town November 2, 2017 Arther Culpepper, a sheet-metal mechanic and part-time pastor in the South Texas town of Three Rivers, first noticed the billboard out of the corner of his eye. He was driving south on U.S. Highway 281 — near the local Dairy Queen — when the message caught his attention: “Our religion doesn’t believe in hitting children.” The sign was paid for by the Satanic Temple, a national group whose Protect Children Project takes aim at paddling in public schools. “The community is upset, not happy,” said Kevin Mackey, minister of the Three Rivers Church of Christ, which responded on its own sign: “Satan doesn’t own all the signs in (Three Rivers) — don’t let him own you.” According to the Protect Children Project website, the Satanic Temple “believes that children should not be objects of physical violence or psychological abuse. We have prepared a letter that can be signed by students which informs their public schools that their deeply held beliefs do not allow for them to be hit in school, physically restrained, placed in solitary confinement, or deprived access to a bathroom.” http://religionnews.com/2017/11/02/satanic-temple-billboard-protesting-corporal-punishment-rankles-texas-town/ Wolves run in a pack: Wake up America, Islamic terrorism targets you! The NYC bicycle-path-terror was consistent with the definition of terrorism - a systematic and deliberate targeting of civilians - aiming to erode the confidence of Americans in their country's homeland security forces. The claim that the perpetrator of the November 1, 2017 NYC bicycle-path-terror is a "lone wolf" ignores the wider context of Islamic terrorism, oversimplifies and underestimates the threat, alleviates the pressure off anti-US Islamic rogue regimes, and derails counter-terrorism. The "packs of Sunni and Shia wolves" has been unleashed against the USA, which is rightly perceived by Islamic rogue regimes to be the most critical obstacle on their way to dominate the Persian Gulf, the Arabian Peninsula, the Middle East at-large, Africa, Europe, South America and the rest of the globe. It was carried out in an attempt to emulate a litany of prior acts of Islamic terrorism against Western democracies, and especially the US, which is rightly regarded by Islam as the pillar of Western democracy, economy, science and military. In order to defeat Islamic terrorism, Western societies – led by the US - must rid counter-terrorism of the "lone wolf" mentality; acknowledge the inherently non-compromising nature of Islamic terrorism and confront Islamic rogue regimes (just like rogue gangs at home) militarily, not diplomatically; recognize the centrality – and obliterate the infrastructure – of hate-education and incitement in the US and other Western democracies, as well as in Muslim countries; preempt, rather than react. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/21221 So much for exorcisms today: Psychiatrist Describes 'Creepiest' Exorcism Witnessed; Possessed Woman Levitated From Bed Nov 1, 2017 A prominent psychiatrist with decades of exorcism experience has shared details behind the "creepiest" case of demon possession he witnessed, in which a woman displayed unnatural strength and levitated from her bed. During the actual exorcism ritual, a voice emanated from the woman, warning the priests to back off. "The voice was sometimes guttural and vaguely masculine and high pitched at other times. Julia's comments usually expressed hatred for anything religious. Animal-like growls — un-human-like sounds — also came from her. Sometimes objects flew off shelves and Julia knew things about team members she had no natural way of knowing. For instance, she knew that Gallagher's mother had died from ovarian cancer," the article describes. Gallagher noted that the woman, who only spoke English, used voices in Latin and Spanish, insulting the participants in crude ways. "Julia also exhibited enormous strength. Despite the religious sisters and three others holding her down with all their might, they struggled to restrain her. Remarkably, for about 30 minutes, she actually levitated about half a foot in the air," he shared. After eight exorcism sessions, Julia remained possessed. Ater a pause of one year, she said that she wanted to continue the sessions, revealing that she was dying of cancer. Gallagher told her that he would discuss her request with his team but then she disappeared, never to be heard from again. "We think she died," he concluded. https://www.christianpost.com/news/psychiatrist-describes-creepiest-exorcism-witnessed-possessed-woman-levitated-from-bed-205072/ Everyone should watch this and stay watchful: Obsession: The Movie Every believer ought to take this film very seriously- understand this.

Hindu extremists compelled state officials and police to issue orders to the churches in Coimbatore District to stop worship unless they obtain permission from the collector’s office, and the extremists intend to target 20 others in the same way, church leaders said. “It is a well-planned conspiracy against the Christian community, as the Hindu extremists know that it is not easy to approach the collector’s office for such permissions,” pastor Johnson Sathyanathan, president of the Synod of Pentecostal Churches of Coimbatore, told Morning Star News. “The time to get such approvals can stretch from a year and a half to many more years.” https://morningstarnews.org/2017/11/officials-police-tamil-nadu-state-india-halt-worship-10-churches/ Where's this "love one another" thing? Mom Who Beat Daughter for Not Reciting Bible Verses Correctly Sent to Prison Oct 27, 2017 A mother who allegedly assaulted her 13-year-old daughter after she failed to correctly recite Bible verses earlier this year was sentenced to two-and-a-half to five years in state prison Wednesday after she pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, strangulation, terroristic threats and endangering the welfare of a child. When the teenager told her mother that "God said to forgive his son," Shoffner grabbed her by the hair and slammed her head into a wall. Each time the teenager gave an answer Shoffner did not find acceptable she slammed her daughter's head into bathroom drywall. She did this at least five times, police say, even as her daughter begged her to stop. Shoffner then told her daughter to lie on her back and the girl complied, she began to strangle her, declaring: "I'm gonna kill you (expletive)," police said.It was at this point that the teenager, afraid she might die, began fighting her mother. Shoffner responded by biting her daughter's left forearm and sinking her teeth into her left shoulder. The teenager kept fighting until the frustrated mother told her "just leave and don't ever come back." She grabbed a coat, a pair of sneakers and her phone and fled. She was then met by her father who took her to the police who later charged Shoffner.

"As you see the birthday cake in question is to celebrate the birthday of Lucifer, or as they are also known Satan who was born as Satan when he was cast from heaven by God. The cake only needs to be a simple 9x13 single layer cake, with red and black icing. As well as to contain an upside down cross, under the head of Lucifer," the email reads. "I thought I would seek you out, to bake this cake since you appear to be a very moral person since you refused to bake a cake for same sex couples. And since religion is a protected class, I hope you will be willing to bake this cake, so my small group of religious friends can celebrate the birthday of Lucifer this coming November, just a few days after Halloween." "The request from the Satanists is essentially the same as the request that Jack Phillips received from the same-sex couple to create a cake that violates his beliefs, because in both instances, the requester can say the law covers my request. For the Satanists, they're going to say it's religious discrimination for you to say no to a cake that I'm requesting because of my protected status." http://www.christianpost.com/news/christian-baker-jack-phillips-asked-to-make-birthday-cake-for-satan-with-upside-down-cross-203092/ Where's the outcry from those who uphold God's Big Ten? NM Ten Commandments Display Unconstitutional, Supreme Court Affirms in Declining Case Oct 16, 2017 The United States Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal in a case regarding a Ten Commandments display on public property in New Mexico, thus allowing a lower court ruling against the display to stand. On Monday morning the highest court in the land issued an order list in which it declined without offering comment to hear the appeal in City of Bloomfield, New Mexico v. Felix. "But by allowing the Tenth Circuit decision to stand, the Supreme Court has given anti-religion advocates a license to challenge any monument that they see and offends them." A six-foot tall Ten Commandments display weighing approximately 3,000 pounds was erected at the city hall in Bloomfield in July 2011. In Aug. 2014, U.S. District Court Judge James Parker ruled that Bloomfield City Hall must remove the display, saying that it violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. "The Ten Commandments monument is government speech regulated by the Establishment Clause because the Ten Commandments monument is a permanent object located on government property and it is not part of a designated public forum open to all on equal terms," http://www.christianpost.com/news/new-mexico-ten-commandments-display-unconstitutional-supreme-court-203146/ Revelation 6:9-11: “When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held." Unrelenting killing of Coptic Christians intensifies debate over martyrdom October 13, 2017 The group that calls itself the Islamic State has launched waves of attacks on the Coptic community in recent years – claiming at least 70 lives and wounding scores of others – an unrelenting assault that has opened a debate in the community about martyrdom. The issue has been most recently punctuated by the deadly knifing of a Coptic priest in a poor Cairo neighborhood Thursday (Oct. 12). A suspect was arrested but his motive is still unknown. Recently, another Coptic priest — the well-known Rev. Boules George from the well-heeled Cairo suburb of Heliopolis — took to the television airwaves to “thank” the Islamic State terrorists who launched the Palm Sunday church bombings that claimed 45 lives, saying they provided “a rocket” that delivered victims straight to heaven. “Thank you very, very, very much,” George told the viewers of his program on Egypt’s Coptic TV channel just hours after the terror attacks. “You have given us the death of Christ himself, and this is the greatest honor that of any of us can attain.” Many Copts rejected that assertion. “This death doctrine is terrifying,” said Jacqueline Ezzat, 21. “Jesus died for a cause and a purpose. Those who die in violence are lost to us for no reason. Father Boules’ doctrine is insidious. It’s like he wants us Christians to be zombies.” It’s hard to argue against martyrdom for the 28 people who died in the attack, some community members say. Survivors said their assailants ordered them to fast because it was the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, killed their husbands and brothers, and ordered them to convert to Islam. “After spraying us with gunfire and taking our jewelry, they ordered the women and children who were still alive to recite a testimony to convert to Islam,” said Hanan Adel, a 28-year-old survivor. Those horror stories don’t inspire all Copts to embrace martyrdom. http://religionnews.com/2017/10/13/unrelenting-killing-of-coptic-christians-intensifies-debate-over-martyrdom/ 2 Timothy 3:1, 4: “In the last days there will be…lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,” Get set for sex robot revolution, survey says October 11, 2017 According to a survey conducted by YouGov Omnibus, half of American adults — 49 percent, to be exact — believe having sex with robots will become common in the next 50 years.

The Pakistan-based spiritual leader of Muslims of America (MOA), Sheikh Gilani, told top MOA officials (known as “khalifas”) to order all unarmed members to obtain firearms, licenses and hunting permits in order to resist raids on the group’s approximately 22 compounds that they expect to happen under the Trump Administration. Additional “security” was also called up and assault rifles have been mentioned as desirable. The group now expects the FBI “to reopen its cases against them as a homegrown terrorist organization,” one of the confidential sources told Martin Mawyer of the Christian Action Network and Ryan Mauro of the Clarion Project. The sources independently stated that members across the country were told of instructions from Sheikh Gilani to “be prepared to fight.” https://www.israelvideonetwork.com/islamist-compounds-all-over-us-stockpiling-weapons-in-preps-for-jihad-against-trump/ Ecumenism is rapidly coming to the forefront: Anticipating the Coming of The Messiah, Christians And Jews Celebrate Feast Of Tabernacles In Jerusalem "The time has come to unite in the belief in one God." October 10, 2017 These days, thousands of evangelical Christians follow the example of the Jews and ascend to Jerusalem to take part in the Feast of Tabernacles, the Christian name for Succot. This year, the Feast of Tabernacles celebration started on Friday night, when thousands of Christians gathered in Ein Gedi at the shores of the rapidly shrinking Dead Sea. The celebration at the Dead Sea was followed by a mass baptism ceremony for converted Christians in the Jordan River near Yardenit in northern Israel. On Tuesday, the annual Jerusalem March was on the agenda of the Christian pilgrims, with thousands of them parading through the streets of downtown Jerusalem to show their love and support for Israel, as well as their belief in the end of times prophesy that people from all over the world will flock to Jerusalem on Succot. Many religious Jews and evangelical Christians share the belief that we are experiencing the end of times, or the end of days (Acherit ha Yamim in Hebrew,) and that the time has come to unite in the belief in one God. https://www.westernjournalism.com/anticipating-coming-messiah-christians-jews-celebrate-feast-tabernacles-jerusalem/ When did “freedom of religion” in our nation’s Constitution morph into “freedom from religion?” West Florida judge outlaws historic cross September 30, 2017 In mid-June, U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson gave municipal authorities in Pensacola, Fla., 30 days to remove an imposing cross that had stood in their Bayview Park for seventy-six years. During those years, that cross served year after year as a rallying point for civic functions on Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day. Also for Easter sunrise services. Patriotic, God-fearing, tax-paying citizens often gathered around that cross. Not once had any citizen professed to be offended by it. But the extremely anti-Christian secularists in the Freedom From Religion Foundation now claimed that this long-honored symbol of Christian faith was an insult to all non-Christians. They filed suit to have it banished from that public park. Judge Vinson’s remarks seemed to express a sensitivity to the feelings of the majority of Pensacolans who were proud of their historic cross. But it had to go, he ruled. What he felt about it didn’t matter, he said. Nor, evidently, did the will of the people — the rule of democracy — any longer seem to matter. That cross had to be removed because “it’s the law.” http://amarillo.com/faith/2017-09-30/shelburne-west-florida-judge-outlaws-historic-cross You can run -but you cannot hide: You Can Protest, But You Can’t Hide From Government Facial Recognition (For Much Longer) Artificial intelligence is giving rise to unprecedented capabilities for surveillance. Artificial intelligence is giving rise to unprecedented capabilities for surveillance, from facial recognition at bridge crossings to the ability to identify thousands of people at once. Now, new research suggests that AI could potentially be used to identify people who have taken steps to conceal their identities by wearing hats, sunglasses, or scarves over their faces. The paper, accepted to appear in a computer vision conference workshop next month and detailed in Jack Clark’s ImportAI newsletter, shows that identifying people covering their faces is possible, but there’s a long way to go before it’s accurate enough to be relied upon. Researchers used a deep-learning algorithm—a flavor of artificial intelligence that detects patterns within massive amounts of data—to find specific points on a person’s face and analyze the distance between those points. When asked to compare a face concealed by a hat or scarf against photos of five people, the algorithm was able to correctly identify the person 56% of the time. But those imperfect results don’t mean the paper should be ignored. http://www.defenseone.com/technology/2017/09/you-can-protest-you-cant-hide-government-facial-recognition-much-longer/140813/?oref=d-dontmiss Matthew 24:7: “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

SEPTEMBER 2017 Israel, who has been fending off threats emanating from its neighboring countries, fails to prepare for a major threat posed by Mother Nature. Seven thousand dead; 9,000 wounded, mostly in serious condition; 30,000 buildings so damaged that they will no longer be inhabitable, leaving hundreds of thousands of people without a home and on the street where damage to infrastructure is estimated to reach up to NIS 200 billion. The result of a future war with Hezbollah? No. A nuclear attack by Iran? Also no. Instead, this is the government’s official worst-case scenario of what it predicts would potentially happen one day when a major earthquake shakes the State of Israel. Israel does not have to worry about hurricanes for the simple reason that the climate in the eastern Mediterranean is too dry for the likes of the storms that have been pummeling the southern part of the United States. But earthquakes are a different story. Israel sits on the Syrian-African fault line, part of the Great Rift Valley that encompasses the area from northern Syria to Mozambique. While earthquakes in the region tend to be small – the most recent one which hit near Acre in April measured 3 on the Richter scale – it is not immune to larger and deadlier quakes. Israel, these scientists believe, is sitting on a time bomb. http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Editors-Notes-Are-we-ready-505151 Desperate folks go to insane meaures to resolve the crisis: Witch doctors are sacrificing children in this drought-stricken African country September 26, 2017 Jackline Mukisa sobbed as she described how her 8-year-old son was found in a nearby swamp in February without teeth, lips, ears and genitals. “My innocent son died a painful death,” said Mukisa, 28. “How could somebody intend to murder my son?” A motorcyclist offered John Lubega a lift as he walked back from school, according to fellow students who saw him last. His remains suggest he was slowly killed as part of a human sacrifice ritual performed by witch doctors, apparently to appease the spirits, said Mukisa, who filed a police report. Seven children and two adults were sacrificed last year, said Moses Binoga, a police officer who heads Uganda’s Anti-Human Sacrifice and Trafficking Task Force. Seven children and six adults were sacrificed in 2015. Times are tough in Uganda, and people are looking to sacrifices to improve their fortunes. The worst drought in over half a century has hit parts of East Africa, leaving more than 11 million people in this landlocked nation facing food insecurity and 1.6 million on the brink of famine, according to the Ugandan government. “There is no food due to the ongoing drought, and some believe that this has been brought by ancestral spirits,” said Joel Mugoya, a traditional healer. “So there is a high desire for people to conduct sacrifices so that they come out of this problem.” http://religionnews.com/2017/09/26/witch-doctors-are-sacrificing-children-in-this-drought-stricken-african-country/ Islam: Bizzare religion kills Christians - yet loves its women?

According to the latest numbers provided by the U.S. Treasury Department, the national debt passed the $20 trillion mark on Friday and continues to grow. To hit the milestone, the total debt increased $317 billion in one day after President Trump signed a bill on Sept. 8 that temporarily suspended the $19.84 trillion debt ceiling so that federal aid could be provided for victims of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. "It took America more than 230 years to accumulate its first $10 trillion in debt. Obama-Clinton policies doubled it, adding another $10 trillion to our national debt in a matter of eight years," Trump said in July 2016 during the presidential campaign.

"TV evangelism is one of Satan's greatest weapons. They put these guys on a pedestal and all of a sudden they get caught with a prostitute and every Christian I know then, is under the gun. So you don't think that's kind of a set up? Yeah, I'm telling you, the Devil is very smart," Cooper warned. "He's not going to come out with the horns and the tail, he's going to come in as the slickest car salesman you ever saw. I've seen some pretty slick pastors on TV." lthough raised in a Christian home with a father who was a preacher, Cooper lost his faith during his rock career which reached its peak with his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. However, the singer maintains that while he wasn't a Christian at the time, many of his songs "have totally got all kinds of Christian bywords going all the way through it, because it comes out of you. Even when I wasn't a Christian I was saying... 'God and the Devil, don't pick the Devil, because it's a bad idea," he said. But after embracing Christianity many years later, Cooper drastically changed his tune, beating his alcohol addiction and becoming a strong witness for Christ. "So I always refer to myself as the real Prodigal Son, because I went out and the Lord let me do everything," said Cooper. "Maybe didn't let me but allowed it, and then just started reeling me back in. You know, you've seen enough.

'The Exorcist' Filmmaker: Filming an Actual Exorcism for New Documentary Was 'Terrifying' Sep 5, 2017 A prominent Hollywood movie director has captured footage of an actual exorcism taking place that was included in a documentary film released last week. The experience, he said, was "terrifying." William Friedkin, who made the 1973 movie "The Exorcist" has made another film called "The Devil and Father Amorth" which came out Thursday. Variety reported Sunday that Friedkin got connected with Father Gabriel Amorth, a Roman Catholic priest in the Diocese of Rome, and acquired access to observe and film an actual exorcism for inclusion in the movie. "It was terrifying, I went from being afraid of what could happen to feeling a great deal of empathy with this woman's pain and suffering, which is obvious in the film," he said. This was reportedly the woman's ninth exorcism session, as she had been seeing Father Amorth for some time.

Personality Glenn Beck explains the dangers of the 12th imam. Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, along with Ayatollah Khamenei, is a “Twelver”. That is, they believe in the coming of the twelfth Imam, the “Mahdi”, as their messiah. But the Mahdi is believed to arrive only during a period of chaos. Thus, in order to speed the arrival of the Mahdi, Iran’s leaders believe they must create this chaos – by attempting to destroy Israel and America. Considering that the largest branch of Shi’ite Islam is the Twelver Shi’ite, with about 85% of all Shi’ites – approximately between 148 and 296 million – Twelver Shi’ites, this is extremely terrifying. The world must ensure that Iran never gets the nuclear bomb and desists from supporting terrorism and generating chaos and bloodshed in the Middle East. http://www.israelvideonetwork.com/the-12th-imam-is-apparently-here-heres-what-it-means/?omhide=true All for security and catching the bad guys? FBI builds mammoth facial recognition database raising huge privacy concerns Just last week it was widely reported that the Federal Bureau of Investigation wants to create a software that identifies, automatically, tattoos related to criminal organizations, religious groups, political ideologies and gangs. Now, according to a congressional audit, the bureau has developed a massive facial recognition database of about 400 billion pictures in order to assist its investigations. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) found out that the database is home to more than 411 million images out of which 140 million belongs to foreigners who applied for US visa and 30 million mugshots of criminals without any oversight. That’s not all, the database also contains driver’s license picture databases from 16 states in the country who have never been to prison nor they have ever been accused of any wrongdoing, reports TechCrunch. The huge database — which enables investigators to automatically search images for criminal suspects — “is far greater than had previously been understood” and raises concerns “about the risk of innocent Americans being inadvertently swept up in criminal investigations,” said Senator Al Franken. https://www.hackread.com/fbi-facial-recognition-database/ Revelation 8:8 : "Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood."

It’s just a matter of time. In the aftermath of a Wisconsin firm embedding microchips in employees last week to ditch company badges and corporate logons, the Internet has entered into full-throated debate. Religious activists are so appalled, they’ve been penning nasty 1-star reviews of the company, Three Square Market, on Google, Glassdoor and social media. On the flip side, seemingly everyone else wants to know: Is this what real life is going to be like soon at work? Will I be chipped? “It will happen to everybody,” says Noelle Chesley, 49, associate professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. “But not this year, and not in 2018.

The Temple Mount Crisis has – for the time being – been contained. The emphasis here must be on the words “for the time being,” because the situation is still highly unstable and could change any minute. But, at least at this particular moment, the crisis that began three weeks ago with the murder of two border policeman near the Temple Mount – and snowballed into a full blown crisis with the installation and later removal of metal detectors at the site – did not ignite a third intifada. Former National Security Council deputy head Eran Lerman has in the past divided the region into four camps – Iran, Islamic State, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Camp of Stability – saying that each of these is vying for control of the Middle East. All the struggles in the region – from Libya to Yemen and culminating in Syria – can be seen through the prism of this titanic battle between the camps for Mideast hegemony. But one not need look as far afield as Libya, Yemen or Syria to see this competition; it can also be seen in Jerusalem. slamic State was not a player in the recent events in Jerusalem, but the other three camps were. The Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood camps, on one hand, had an interest in inflaming the passions and creating chaos and violence, while the countries in the Camp of Stability – states like Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt had an interest in containing the violence.

Several dozen youngsters prayed outside a makeshift "electronic gate” manned by teens dressed as Israeli soldiers and carrying mock rifles. The group pelts the soldiers with paper rocks, and amid the ensuing attack, the announcer declares that "one martyr has fallen while carrying out a stabbing operation and killing one of the Zionist pigs." Other teens, dressed as 'Izz Al-Din Al-Qassam Brigades militants, join the fray, ultimately "blowing up" the security measures and "liberating the Al-Aqsa Mosque from the defilement of the occupation."

The Islamic religion is not even 2,000 years old. The golden dome on the Temple Mount is a monument – not even a Mosque. The Al Aqsa mosque is the small black dome off to the side of the golden dome. How did the Islamic religion take over the holiest site to the Jewish religion.

If our country stays on the path that it is currently on, it is very difficult to see how we are possibly going to make it. Throughout human history every great society has eventually entered a period of decline, and sadly that is happening to us as well. My hope is that we can wake the American people up while there is still time, and that we can return to the values and the principles that this nation was originally founded upon. Below are 16 facts that prove that America is in deep, deep trouble. Many of these numbers come from my new book, and many of them seem almost too crazy to believe… When Ronald Reagan won his first election, the U.S. national debt was less than one trillion dollars. When Barack Obama entered the White House it was sitting at 10.6 trillion dollars, when the Republicans took control of the House of Representatives in 2010 it was about 14 trillion dollars, and now we have nearly reached the 20 trillion dollar mark. We have been stealing money from our children and our grandchildren at the rate of more than 100 million dollars an hour, and yet most Americans don’t seem to care that we are rapidly bankrupting our nation. In 1956, approximately 5 percent of all babies in the United States were born to unmarried mothers. Today, things have obviously changed tremendously. 2008 was the very first year in United States history when 40 percent of all babies were born to unmarried mothers, and we have now stayed at that level for eight straight years. Many Americans don’t realize this, but the United States has the highest rate of illegal drug use on the entire planet. But we actually have an even bigger problem with legal drugs. According to a study conducted by the Mayo Clinic, nearly 70 percent of all Americans are on at least one prescription drug, and an astounding 20 percent of all Americans are on at least five prescription drugs.

California Imam under fire after asking Allah to 'annihilate' Jews in sermon July 26, 2017 Jewish groups have asked Homeland Security and the U.S. Attorney's office to investigate a California Imam who gave a sermon calling on Allah to "annihilate" Jews "down to the very last one" -- and asked for his congregants to take part in the slaughter. Imam Ammar Shahin gave the sermon at the Islamic Center of Davis, California on Friday. He asked for Allah to liberate the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Israel from "the filth of the Jews," according to a translation by the Middle East Media Research Institute, and cited an Islamic text that calls for a Judgement Day fight between Muslims and Jews. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/07/26/california-imam-under-fire-after-asking-allah-to-annihilate-jews-in-sermon.html Microchips in the news alot lately!

Sex with Robots Goes Against God's Plan, Christian Ethicists Warn, Urge Ban on Child Sex Robots Jul 6, 2017 A number of Christian ethicists have responded to a new report exploring the possible benefits and dangers of humans having sex with robots, including robots designed to look like children, stating that such sexual activities go against God's design. The Foundation for Responsible Robotics recently released it's first consultation report, titled "Our Sexual Future With Robots," which explores several big questions in the growing field of humans having intimate relationships with robots, including whether sex with robots designed to look like children should be against the law. The FRR report takes into account public surveys and opinions of various experts in the field, and finds that there is a market for sex robots, albeit men are twice as likely than women to engage in such a practice. The report finds that robots would be accepted as sex workers, and says that they could potentially help with sexual healing and therapy — but also warns that sex with robots could lead to greater social isolation. http://www.christianpost.com/news/sex-robots-against-gods-plan-christian-ethicists-warn-ban-child-sex-robots-191084/ The world is getting weirder by the minute: 'Non Binary Trans' Parent Fighting to Register Newborn Baby as 'Gender Unknown' July 5, 2017 A Canadian parent who does not identify as male or female is fighting for the right to not give their baby a gender, claiming a biological examination is "restrictive" and cannot uncover the child's true identity. Kori Doty, who uses the pronoun "they", says they want their eight-month-old baby, named Searyl Atli, to be able to choose its own gender when it is old enough. Doty told CBC a medical examination at birth cannot determine a child's true gender, because a baby might be intersex or grow up to identify with a gender that is different to their biological sex. "When I was born, doctors looked at my genitals and made assumptions about who I would be, and those assignments followed me and followed my identification throughout my life," they said. "Those assumptions were incorrect, and I ended up having to do a lot of adjustments since then." "I'm raising Searyl in such a way that until they have the sense of self and command of vocabulary to tell me who they are, I'm recognizing them as a baby and trying to give them all the love and support to be the most whole person that they can be outside of the restrictions that come with the boy box and the girl box," they said. http://www.gospelherald.com/articles/71082/20170705/non-binary-parent-fighting-register-baby-gender-unknown.htm WHAT??? Womb Transplants for Gay, Transgender and Straight Men Who Want to Carry a Child? July 3, 2017 Fertility doctors in the U.K. are reportedly working on womb transplant procedures that would allow transgender people born as males, and also other men, to have babies. Moreover, National Health Service doctors told The Mail on Sunday that taxpayers should fund such transplants, citing "equality enshrined in law." Dr. Amel Alghrani of Liverpool University said that such a transplant procedure is a real possibility, and explained that it could help not only transgender women have children, but also gay and straight men who "wanted to experience the joys of carrying a child. Homosexual couples may also wish to procreate in this fashion, while single men may opt for it to avoid surrogacy." http://www.christianpost.com/news/womb-transplants-for-gay-transgender-and-straight-men-who-want-to-carry-a-child-190576/ America is going downhill rapidly: Breaking the Ten Commandments Monument: A Prophetic Picture of America Jul 2, 2017 It was the act of only one man who drove his vehicle into a Ten Commandments monument in Arkansas, but it reflected the sentiments of a growing number of Americans: "We do not want the Ten Commandments in our midst, nor do we want the God of the Ten Commandments in our midst." In that sense, the destructive act of this individual reflected the attitude of tens of millions of Americans. This is not simply a decreased interest in the Bible and the God of the Bible. This is outright rebellion. Today we are told that the Bible is an evil book and the God of the Bible an evil, bigoted, petty tyrant. Such tyrants deserve our scorn. That is that attitude aflame in many American hearts today. Consider this extraordinary quote from our second president, John Adams: "Suppose a nation in some distant region should take the Bible for their only law book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited. Every member would be obliged in conscience to temperance and frugality and industry, to justice and kindness and charity towards his fellow men, and to piety and love, and reverence towards Almighty God. In this commonwealth, no man would impair his health by gluttony, drunkenness, or lust — no man would sacrifice his most precious time to cards, or any other trifling and mean amusement — no man would steal or rile or any way defraud his neighbor, but would live in peace and good will with all men — no man would blaspheme his maker or profane his worship, but a rational and manly, a sincere and unaffected piety and devotion would reign in all hearts.

Among the most powerful under-reported trend lines now forming is the global trigger point for war, under the groundless guise that Iran is “the No. 1 terror state” threatening stability in the Middle East and the world. The war trend we forecast is driven by heated rhetoric and unsubstantiated claims that have deep political roots. And now, military maneuvers and regional news events have further distorted Iran as an arch enemy. THE ‘EVIL IRAN’ CAMPAIGN This now clearly defined “let’s hate Iran” trend was popularized during the 2016 US presidential election, when then-candidate Donald Trump repeatedly and aggressively denounced the Iran anti-nuclear deal that the Barack Obama administration orchestrated. “The worst deal ever made in the history of mankind,” Trump proclaimed repeatedly. Playing the Trump Card on Iran, he branded the country as the “No. 1 terror state” and as an imminent nuclear threat. Upon taking office, a parade of US generals and cast of White House militarists in Trump’s administration have vowed swift, decisive military action against Iran at the slightest provocation. Secretary of Defense James “Mad Dog” Mattis, who has branded Iran as the world’s chief recruiter of terrorists, has a “let’s hate Iran” viewpoint that dates back decades. In 2012, he infamously claimed that the US faces three severe threats: “Iran, Iran and Iran.” http://kingworldnews.com/celente-this-trigger-for-a-global-stock-market-crash-will-devastate-the-world/# Religious leaders of all faiths converge to protect the earth: World Faith Leaders to Protect Global Deforestation June 17, 2017 Norway will host an Unprecedented Meeting of World Faith Leaders to engage Global Deforestation on Monday, June 19, at the Nobel Peace Center, Oslo, Norway. Norway will host leaders from world’s spiritual and religious traditions, engaging faith communities to protect rainforests. Leaders from Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Pagan, Daois and, Jewish leaders will join with both indigenous forest guardians and leaders from International Interfaith Organizations to express moral commitment, explore faith-based mobilization to end deforestation. The multi-faith summit marks the first significant engagement by the world’s religions with an issue that climate scientists and development experts argue is a lynchpin for global efforts to address climate change, poverty, food insecurity and violations of human rights. It also heralds the first time that religious leaders from a broad spectrum of faiths will work hand-in-hand with indigenous peoples, the historical guardians of rainforests, on an action agenda to end deforestation. http://regionalinterfaith.org.au/?p=1766#more-1766 Getting more mixed up by the day... Are Lady Clothes the New Trend for Men? Jun 18, 2017 The trend of feminine and ultra-casual clothing for men has several theologians observing the influence of the "gender cult" and the decline of masculine dress, calling the church to model how men should wear clothes. An Instragram account called sparkiebabyofficial, which has over 81,000 followers, showing the development of sheer lace shorts for men. Designer Palomo Spain recently released his menswear collection featuring skirts and dresses with ruffles, garters and virginal bridal garb. This is not mere fashion industry silliness and the designer is indeed making an ideological statement reflecting a cultural trend, said Fay Voshell, a theologian and regular contributor at The American Thinker. [Fashion house] Palomo Spain seems to be a devotee of the current gender cult that believes the distinctions between men and women are either insignificant or should be eliminated altogether," Voshell said. http://www.christianpost.com/news/lady-clothes-new-trend-men-188352/#PQWLR8Ywbd0hvIfW.99 Revelation 17:17 " For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled. Parliament of World Religions Video The Parliament is the oldest, the largest, and the most inclusive gathering of people of all faith and traditions. Some of the themes of this Parliament were: Healing the Heart of Humanity, The Human Rights and Dignity of Women, Climate Change, Emerging Youth Leaders, and more. The Parliament was created to cultivate harmony among the world's religious and spiritual communities and foster their engagement with the world and its guiding institutions in order to achieve a just, peaceful and sustainable world. To accomplish this, we invite individuals and communities who are equally invested in attaining this goal. This shared commitment has opened the way for a new era of cooperative action among the world's religious and spiritual communities as well as civil and political societies. The well-being of the Earth and all life depends on this collaboration! I hope through this video you can get a sense of how special of an event this is, and with over 10,000 people attending, this was the largest Parliamentary event thus far. I can only imagine things getting better and larger from here on out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-ozAHWKPSI Great info regarding lockdown in times of trouble or crisis: What you need to Know About Martial Law What Is The Definition Of Martial Law? What is the first thing that comes into mind when the phrase “Martial Law” is mentioned? Do the images of tanks rolling in the streets, accompanied by fully-armed soldiers cross your mind? Do you instinctively flinch in fear at the gloomy thought that war is being fought right at your doorstep? Martial law is an act designed to control the society as war is being fought in actual or theoretical war zones. It can also be used as a measure for when civil unrest, nationwide emergencies or when chaos ensues throughout a country. In layman’s terms, Martial Law is the final resort of a country that has found itself unable to deal with a potent threat. There are actually two types - the first is a localized level in which only certain parts of the nation are affected, and the dreaded national martial law, from which everyone living in that country is now affected. Martial law is not a pretty picture to behold. Don’t hold any illusions, because life will definitely become tougher after it becomes fully implemented.

June 4, 2017 Islam's doctrine of jihad, expansion and dawah (Islamic outreach, proselytizing) rely heavily on the use of both terror and luring. Targhib wal tarhib is an Islamic doctrine that means "seducing (luring) and terrorizing" as a tool for dawah, to conquer nations and force citizens to submit to Islamic law, sharia. It amounts to manipulating the instinctive parts of the human brain with extreme opposing pressures of pleasure and pain -- rewarding, then severely punishing -- to brainwash people into complying with Islam. Most ordinary Muslims are not even aware of this doctrine, but Islamic books have been written about it. Mainstream Muslim sheikhs such as Salman Al Awda have discussed it on Al Jazeera TV. On a show called "Sharia and Life," Al Awda recommended using extremes "to exaggerate... reward and punishment, morally and materially... in both directions". "The use of terror under this doctrine," he said, "is a legitimate sharia obligation." Having lived most of my life under Islam, I am sad to say that people the West calls "moderate Muslims" are frequently, in fact, citizens who have learned to live with and accept terror as normal. For centuries, many have made excuses for terror, condemned victims of terror, remained silent or equivocal, and have even compromised with the terrorists to survive. The Islamic culture in which I lived looked the other way when women were beaten. When girls were honor-murdered, the question was "what did she do?" instead of "how could that be?" When Christians were killed and persecuted, many blamed the Christians for their own persecution at the hands of Muslims. The normal Islamic response to terror became: "None of my business." https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10474/islamic-terror-new-normal EGYPTIAN HISTORIAN MOHAMED ELHAMY: JIHAD WILL CONTINUE UNTIL JUDGMENT DAY (Video Clip) "Jihad has been established (in Islam), and it will continue until Judgment Day. Jihad was established in order to transfer the believers from weakness and enslavement to strength and empowerment. Truth by itself is weak. It needs force. It was through Jihad that the Muslims transformed from a state of weakness and enslavement in Mecca into power and sovereignty in Medina. Jihad was established also in order to save humanity, in order to save the subjugated and the oppressed. Therefore, Jihad is the enemy of injustice and tyranny. There is not a single tyrant or oppressor who does not fight the principle of Jihad, just like the occupiers did, when they invaded our countries. They even created Islamic sects and movements that would repudiate Jihad. They tried to secularize Islam, and thus to eliminate the notion of Jihad from Islam, so that the (occupied) countries would stay calm. The occupiers, the oppressors, and the tyrants are well aware – even more than those who are on the side of Truth themselves – of the importance of Jihad for the sake of Allah. They know they cannot subjugate the people unless they remove their (notion) of resistance, and remove the will to wage Jihad for the sake of Allah from the people’s hearts and minds. Through its Jihad, which will continue until Judgement Day, the Islamic nation represents the cultural alternative, and the hope of supporting the subjugated and the oppressed all over the world." https://www.memri.org/tv/egyptian-historian-jihad-to-judgment-day The International Globalist meeting behind closed doors after Paris Climate Rejection: Secretive global group gathers in US to mull Trump era 131 members discuss future of EU, transatlantic relations at covert Bilderberg summit June 2, 2017 A secretive group of global power brokers including politicians, bankers, business titans and European royalty gather behind closed doors starting Thursday to debate the merits of Donald Trump’s fledgling US presidency. The four-day Bilderberg meeting takes place in Chantilly, Virginia, where 131 elites — from elder statesman Henry Kissinger to NATO secretary Jens Stoltenberg to civil rights activist Vernon Jordan will discuss transatlantic relations, the future of the European Union and “a progress report” on the Trump administration, according to a statement from the group. Burns, the current president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, has warned that Trump “risks hollowing out the ideas, initiative and institutions on which US leadership and international order rest.” Anti-globalization protesters reportedly have descended on the location of the meeting. The secretive nature of the group has given birth to conspiracy theories. Some have warned, for example, that Bilderberg is a group of rich and powerful kingmakers seeking to impose a one world government. http://www.timesofisrael.com/secretive-global-group-gathers-in-us-to-mull-trump-era/?utm_source=The+Times+of+Israel+Daily+Edition&utm_campaign=75bfa803e8-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_06_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_adb46cec92-75bfa803e8-54606857 The Third Temple for ALL nations? The event that rekindled hope that the Third Temple would soon be built June 1, 2017 The Temple Mount had not been in Jewish hands for close to 2,000 years.

"God loves you, and He doesn't want you to destroy your life. Not only will Christ give you a new desire to do what's right, but He'll help you overcome the greed and the yearning for excitement that are behind most gambling. One of the Ten Commandments says, 'You shall not covet ... anything that belongs to your neighbor' (Exodus 20:17)." According to statistics from The National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG), 15 percent of Americans gamble at least once per week, and approximately two to three percent of Americans meet the criteria for "problem" gambling. That's around 6 million adults and about a half million teens. NCPG notes the annual cost associated with gambling (crime, addiction, and bankruptcy) is $17 billion. The evangelist explained that Bible doesn't say much about gambling, it does tell us two important truths that one should keep in mind before gambling."First, it warns us about the dangers of greed," said Graham. "When greed grips our souls (as often happens with gambling), money takes over our lives - and that is wrong." Second, the Bible urges us to use our money wisely, and to save all we can," the evangelist said, quoting Proverbs 10:4, which states, "Diligent hands bring wealth." He goes on to say, "Gambling is also wrong because of the motives involved. Some people gamble for thrills and excitement. Others gamble because they have a greedy and covetous attitude about money. Some gamble out of a false belief in luck. All of these motives are wrong for the Christian, for they are all self-centered and materialistic." http://www.gospelherald.com/articles/70721/20170530/billy-graham-reveals-why-gambling-dangerous-overcome-addiction.htm Everyone is jumping on board the Transgender Movement: Hallmark Now Selling Cards Celebrating Gender Transitions May 31, 2017 Hallmark, the largest greeting card manufacturer in the U.S., is offering cards celebrating a person's gender transition. "Hallmark is committed to helping people share what's in their hearts with those they love, and we strive to be inclusive and relevant with our products," the spokesperson told HuffPost. "We are committed to reflecting people's real lives and enriching their relationships, and our mission includes all people." The new line of greeting cards targeted specifically for transgender persons features themes expressing support and affirmation to those who identify as transgender, well wishes for those who will go through sex change surgery and celebrations for those who have transitioned to another gender. The cards are filed under "Encouragement: Transgender/Transitioning." http://www.gospelherald.com/articles/70739/20170531/hallmark-now-selling-cards-celebrating-gender-transitions.htm Sir Issac Newton was a smart man: Are These Irreversible End-Times Signs Converging Right Now? Sir Isaac Newton said, "About the Time of the End, a body of men will be raised up who will turn their attention to the Prophecies, and insist upon their literal interpretation, in the midst of much clamor and opposition." Best known for his scientific thought, Newton was also an avid researcher of biblical apocalyptic prophecy. Something dramatic, global and irreversible lies just ahead. There is no way to avoid it. Every condition and marker we would expect to see in the last days are now in active play on the earth. The stage is set and the actors are in place, preparing to follow their script for what will shortly transpire. God's people must be equipped, like the sons of Issachar, to understand the times (1 Chron. 12:32). Approximately 27 percent of the Bible is prophecy. Prophecy is sort of like a jigsaw puzzle. You begin by getting all the border pieces in place before you start connecting the other pieces. When you assemble the border first, it's much easier to find, little by little, where the remaining pieces of the puzzle fit. There is tremendous and uncanny interest in apocalyptic prophecy today among people of all backgrounds. People have a sense that the stage is being set for the final events of this age. Everyone is asking, "What will the future bring? How can we know for sure?" http://www.charismamag.com/spirit/apologetics/32700-are-these-irreversible-end-times-signs-converging-right-now EMP is a real deal: Is North Korea's EMP threat real or 'something out of a James Bond movie'? May 29, 2017 "A failure of imagination" is how some experts described the intelligence community's inability to foresee and interrupt the 9/11 plot. But it might as well describe America's apparent disinterest in preparing for a potentially bigger threat - an EMP, or electromagnetic pulse, a nuclear capability that North Korea is believed to be pursuing. An EMP is a short burst of electromagnetic energy, specifically gamma rays, that all nuclear explosions produce to varying degrees. A large EMP triggered over the United States from a ballistic missile or a satellite orbiting at the right altitude could fry unprotected electronics from coast to coast, rendering electric grids, cellphones, banking and financial institutions, automobile computers, railways, air traffic control, and airplanes themselves, useless. Food would rot in refrigerators and in farm fields, with no means of transporting agricultural products to population centers. "We have information, data from actual high altitude nuclear detonations that were conducted by us and the Russians back in the 1961-62 time frame, that did things like knock the lights out in Hawaii," Pry said. "But most dramatically what the Russians did when they triggered a series of high altitude EMP tests that destroyed electric grids and critical infrastructure at Kazakhstan, then an industrial area, an area larger than Western Europe." http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/05/26/is-north-koreas-emp-threat-real-or-something-out-james-bond-movie.html Are you kidding me? Teacher Files Lawsuit after School Threatens to Fire Her for Saying 'I Will Pray for You' May 23, 2017 Toni Richardson, a devout Christian teacher and mother of two who was warned by the Cony School in Augusta, Maine, that she could be fired for using phrases such as "I will pray for you" and "you were in my prayers" while at work has filed charges of religious discrimination and retaliation with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The school charged that their investigation revealed that Richardson was alleged to have imposed her religious belief on the male teacher by using phrases such as "I will pray for you," during their interactions. "An investigation of your concerns indicated that you may have imposed some strong religious/spiritual belief system toward Mr. [redacted]. Stating, 'I will pray for you,' and 'you were in my prayers' is not acceptable — even if that other person attends the same church as you," school officials warned Richardson. "What Augusta Public Schools did by punishing Toni for discussing her faith in a private conversation with a coworker is unconscionable," Timothy Woodcock of the Maine law firm Eaton Peabody said in the release."We want to make sure that teachers and employees everywhere understand that you can certainly talk about your faith in private conversations at work," Read more at: http://www.christianpost.com/news/teacher-files-lawsuit-school-threatens-fire-her-for-saying-i-will-pray-for-you-184711/#K7Y3HEhF5mhxBpbV.99 Fighting over Jerusalem: Jerusalem's 5 most contested holy sites May 22, 2017 Heaven and Earth are said to meet atop Jerusalem's sacred mounts, but the city's streets have seen more than their share of violence. King David fought the Jebusites, the city's Canaanite founders. The Babylonians and Romans routed the Jews. Muslims booted the Byzantines. Christian Crusaders mauled Muslims and were, in turn, tossed out by the Tartars. The Ottomans followed, then Britain, then Jordan, before finally, in 1967, the city came nearly full circle when Israel annexed East Jerusalem. That sparked another cycle of violence, this time between Israelis and Palestinians. Why do people fight so fiercely over a holy place? You might call it the Jerusalem Paradox: If the city wasn't considered so sacred, it wouldn't inspire such unholy violence. Some Muslims say Jerusalem never housed a Jewish temple; some Jews argue that Mohammed never visited the sacred city, and the argument runs on and on ... for centuries. And it's not just Muslims, Christians and Jews fighting each other. Sometimes the most serious squabbles erupt within the faith themselves. Want to see Christian monks fist-fight? Go to Jerusalem. The good news is, all three Abrahamic faiths teach that the Messiah will eventually return to Jerusalem and sort the whole thing out. http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/22/world/jerusalem-most-contest/ What are we doing to our children? Libraries Offering 'Drag Queen Story Hour' to Teach Children about Homosexuality, 'Gender Fluidity' May 22, 2017 The Brooklyn Public Library in Park Slope has reportedly been offering "Drag Queen Story Hour" (DQSH) since the fall: "DQSH captures the imagination and play of the gender fluidity of childhood and gives kids glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models," the website for the effort reads. Over the weekend, a man who dresses as a woman and identifies as "Lil Hot Mess" appeared at the Brooklyn Public Library in a silver sequin dress covered with rainbow stickers. He read the book "Worm Loves Worm"-a story about "marriage equality"-to the group of children and their parents, according to The Blaze. Following the reading, he led the children in a song and dance, singing, "The hips on the drag queen go swish, swish, swish" and "The heels on the drag queen go higher, higher." http://www.gospelherald.com/articles/70575/20170522/libraries-offering-drag-queen-story-hour-teach-children-homosexuality-gender.htm Pretty Strange stuff going on here!  Great Testimony of God Healing a Hindu through Jesus' Servant: Hindu Leader Bedridden for Years Due to 'Black Magic' Embraces Christianity after Miraculous Healing May 22, 2017 The prominent leader of a Hindu temple who practiced "black magic" and was left bedridden for two years due to a serious illness embraced Christianity after Jesus miraculously healed him. The director of an indigenous ministry in southern Indonesia shared with Christian Aid Mission how the Hindu leader believed his mysterious illness stemmed from his years of practicing black magic and asked for prayer. One day, the temple leader's wife called the ministry director and asked him to visit, saying the local shaman - a Hindu spiritual guide and practitioner - had stopped visiting him. In fact, the shaman had been coming but was mysteriously unable to find him, the director said. "I came to visit again, and I just asked him to invite Jesus the Doctor, saying He is God who can make you healed," he said. "I said, 'I'll pray for you, but you must believe that He is God and will make you well.' He prayed for him and went home. The director returned the next day and found the temple leader well enough to be mixing cement to build a wall. "When I came, he said, 'Hello Mr. Church,' because he doesn't know my name," he said. "He said, 'Please pray for me and let me know more about Jesus,' and afterward I gave him an MP3 player with the gospel. The next week I came and baptized him." http://www.gospelherald.com/articles/70573/20170522/hindu-leader-bedridden-years-due-black-magic-embraces-christianity-miraculous.htm Trump calls for all religions to unite against evil:: Video: Trump’s full Saudi speech: “This is a battle between Good and Evil” MAY 21, 2017 “Every time a terrorist murders an innocent person, and falsely invokes the name of God, it should be an insult to every person of faith. Terrorists do not worship God, they worship death.” “If we do not act against this organized terror, then we know what will happen. Terrorism’s devastation of life will continue to spread. Peaceful societies will become engulfed by violence. And the futures of many generations will be sadly squandered. If we do not stand in uniform condemnation of this killing—then not only will we be judged by our people, not only will we be judged by history, but we will be judged by God.” “This is not a battle between different faiths, different sects, or different civilizations. This is a battle between barbaric criminals who seek to obliterate human life, and decent people of all religions who seek to protect it. This is a battle between Good and Evil.

Los Angeles: Public School Teaching Kids “Allah is the One True God” You thought what’s going on the college campuses in the U.S. is out of control, promulgation of Islam’s religious ideals and beliefs, to the negation of all other religions, has spread to the public school system. This news story is not something exceptional. In California and several other states, a 7th grade course is being taught in Middle Schools on Islam. Not just about Islam’s history and culture. This course is about being a Muslim. For three weeks, children are asked to dress as Muslims, change their names to Muslim names, memorize verses from the Koran, and make Islamic faith declarations. The field trip of the month is a visit to a mosque. Many non-Muslim parents are very upset by this new course which appears as a chapter in a widespread social studies book. Yet the school system seems to be defending the course. http://www.israelvideonetwork.com/la-public-school-teaching-kids-allah-is-the-one-true-god/ America: It's downhill from here: More Americans Now Believe Bible Is a Book of Fables, Not Literal Word of God: Gallup May 16, 2017 More Americans now believe that the Bible is a book of fables and history than those who believe it's the literal Word of God, a Gallup poll released Monday has found, and even fewer than a third of Christians say it's to be taken literally. "Over the past three decades, Americans' view of the Bible as the literal Word of God has been declining, while their view that the Bible is a collection of fables, myths and history recorded by man has been increasing," Gallup observed about the poll. "Most Americans don't know first-hand the overall story of the Bible — because they rarely pick it up," Scott McConnell, executive director of LifeWay Research said in an earlier report. "Even among worship attendees less than half read the Bible daily. The only time most Americans hear from the Bible is when someone else is reading it." http://www.christianpost.com/news/americans-believe-bible-book-of-fables-not-literal-word-of-god-gallup-183718/ Attack on our Power Grid will knock us into the Dark Ages Trump Orders Preparation for Electric Grid Cyber Attacks Policy upgrade comes as threats to infrastructure increase May 12, 2017 President Trump ordered the federal government to prepare for a devastating cyber attack against America’s electric grid amid growing fears foreign states are set to carry out attacks aimed at plunging the nation into darkness. New cyber security measures outlined in the executive order come as the commander of Cyber Command warned two days earlier that America's critical infrastructure is vulnerable to disruption by foreign cyber attacks. Cyber command chief Adm. Mike Rogers said several nations, including Iran, have been tied to disruptions and remote intrusions into U.S. critical infrastructures, such as the electric grid, financial networks, and others. Iran tried to disrupt the function of a dam in upstate New York in 2013, and Russia has used industrial control malware called BlackEnergy to attack Ukraine's electric grid, Rogers said. "Infiltrations in U.S. critical infrastructure—when viewed in the light of incidents like these—can look like preparations for future attacks that could be intended to harm Americans, or at least to deter the United States and other countries from protecting and defending our vital interests," Rogers said. http://freebeacon.com/national-security/trump-orders-preparation-electric-grid-cyber-attacks/ Will God Bless America?

On issues like divorce, same-sex relationships, having a child out of wedlock, and polygamy, Americans have either tied past record high support or broken the record for acceptance. Record highs noted in their findings, which were released Thursday, include support for birth control (91 percent), divorce (73 percent), same-sex relationships (63 percent), and pornography (36 percent).

While apocalyptic beliefs about the end of the world have, historically, been the subject of religious speculation, they are increasingly common among some of the leading scientists today. This is a worrisome fact, given that science is based not on faith and private revelation, but on observation and empirical evidence. Perhaps the most prominent figure with an anxious outlook on humanity’s future is Stephen Hawking. Last year, he wrote the following in a Guardian article: “Now, more than at any time in our history, our species needs to work together. We face awesome environmental challenges: climate change, food production, overpopulation, the decimation of other species, epidemic disease, acidification of the oceans. Together, they are a reminder that we are at the most dangerous moment in the development of humanity. We now have the technology to destroy the planet on which we live, but have not yet developed the ability to escape it.” http://www.salon.com/2017/04/30/its-the-end-of-the-world-and-we-know-it-scientists-in-many-disciplines-see-apocalypse-soon/ More Archeological evidence of the Truth in Scripture: Ancient Babylonian Tablet May Depict First-Ever Image of Biblical Tower of Babel [WATCH] May 8, 2017 An ancient tablet believed to depict the Biblical Tower of Babel has been deciphered 100 years after its discovery and may represent the first-ever image of the real Tower when it stood in Babylon during Biblical times. The amazing tale of the tablet is told in a series produced by the Smithsonian. For scholars, the tablet offers proof that the Tower of Babel wasn’t just a work of fiction, the series argues, but “an actual building from antiquity.” The sixth-century BCE tablet, found a century ago but, as part of a private collection, never studied or exhibited until now, depicts a Babylonian tower known as a ziggurat. After deciphering the tablet, Dr. Andrew George, an expert on ancient Babylon, became convinced it shows the true source of the famed Biblical story. “As an Assyriologist, I don’t deal in the Bible, and I am not a religious person, but in this case, I can say there is an actual building which does seem to be the inspiration for the Biblical narrative,” Dr. George acknowledged to Breaking Israel News. https://www.breakingisraelnews.com/87748/ancient-tablet-proving-existence-tower-babel-deciphered-100-years-video/#e3SWlXbpBtihuZsl.99 The future of the Palestian Peace Accord with Israel: WATCH: Powerful Video Shows How Palestinians Teach Children To Hate Jews Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tweeted a powerful video on Thursday which demonstrates the anti-Jew hatred with which Palestinians imbue their children.

The video begins with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas discussing the issue of Palestinian incitement against Israelis. "There is another case that the Israelis are raising, which is incitement," Abbas says. "That means the Palestinians are inciting consistently against the Israelis int heir media, schools, books, official statements, etc. Indeed, we are inciting!"

The chaotic years of this new twenty-first century might summon another such seismic shift. Some points to consider might include: Almost all of the great religions prescribe peace, harmony and a universalist inclusiveness. At the same time, almost all religions contain exhortations that can incite and provide internal legitimacy to violence against others. Modern experience offers evidence that the post-Westphalian conclusion that all religions are “causes of quarrel” was mistaken and indeed has been misappropriated by some seemingly secular states to support their own international security decisions for war. Somehow, improbable as it may seem, all major world religions in their American forms—Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism (even if not exactly a religion), Islam and others—have enabled themselves to adapt and thrive in this New World environment, able to adjust to sharing the public space in mutual respect. http://www.newsweek.com/role-religions-continue-play-world-affairs-594808 Bringing a satanist monument to stay at a Veteran's Memorial??? Satanic Monument Heading to Belle Plaine Veterans Memorial After a battle to reinstall a cross on a Veterans memorial, residents of Belle Plaine, Minnesota may see another addition to the public space May 2, 2017 After fighting to restore a monument designed to honor veterans, the people of Belle Plaine are now dealing with the unintended consequences of their actions as a satanist group makes plans to install a monument of their own. As Alpha News previously reported, the controversy surrounded a monument of a kneeling soldier in front of a cross-shaped grave marker with a rifle in his hand. The Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF) succeeded in removing the cross from the Belle Plaine Minnesota Veterans Memorial in January by taking their complaints to the city. Now, the Satanic Temple in Salem, Mass. is planning to put a monument of their own in the Memorial Park. The Star Tribune reports the memorial is designed to be a black cube, inscribed with inverted pentagrams and crowned by an upturned helmet. “Belle Plaine’s limited public forum policy creates a space for private expression honoring veterans. It is consistent with the First Amendment, which protects private expression including speech that many may find objectionable.” Wardlow told Alpha News. “The people viewing the displays can judge for themselves whether the expression is worthy of praise or condemnation.” Wardlow said. http://alphanewsmn.com/satanic-monument-heading-belle-plaine-veterans-memorial/ United Nations taking the initiative to be of "one mind" : Baku Forum to promote sustainable development and human security through dialogue 2nd May, 2017 Ilham Aliyev, President of Azerbaijan, and Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO, will open the Forum, which is hosted by the Government of Azerbaijan, in partnership with UNESCO. The event will provide an opportunity to examine effective responses to challenges facing human security, including massive migration, violent extremism and conflicts. A boom in the world's population (more than 7 billion in 2017), the power of technology, more salient human mobility, and the increased flow of goods and ideas across borders has brought cultures much closer together in the 21st century in ways unimaginable only a few decades ago. But as some doors have opened, others have closed in particular in the minds of women, men and children living with increased and more complex manifestations of diversity. This has strengthened prejudice, intolerance, racism, xenophobia, discrimination, radicalization and violent extremism. In this context, the Forum will bring together heads of government and ministers, representatives of intergovernmental organizations and the private sector as well as policy-makers, cultural professionals, journalists, intellectuals and civil society activists, to reaffirm the imperative need to expand, consolidate and intensify dialogue among peoples and cultures, religions and beliefs. UNESCO will host more than ten sessions at the Forum, showcasing the Organization's diverse work on intercultural dialogue to address issues such as the integration of migrants in cities, and counter the proliferation of violent extremism as well as the growth of youth radicalization on the internet. It will underscore that dialogue is a prerequisite to preventing and addressing the challenges we face, for without dialogue the aspirations of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all will remain elusive. http://www.bignewsnetwork.com/news/253033079/baku-forum-to-promote-sustainable-development-and-human-security-through-dialogue The World is "spiritually" coming together: Toronto, Canada Named Host of the 7th Parliament of the World's Religions in 2018 05. 02. 2017 Toronto--acclaimed by the United Nations as the most diverse city in the world and home to six million Canadians—has been chosen as the host city of the 7th Parliament of the World’s Religions, to be convened in November 2018. The selection of Toronto was made by the Board of Trustees of the governing organization at its April 2017 meeting. Since the historic 1893 World’s Parliament of Religions in Chicago, modern Parliaments have attracted participants from more than 200 diverse religious, indigenous, and secular beliefs and more than 80 nations to its international gatherings in Chicago (1993), Cape Town (1999), Barcelona (2004), Melbourne (2009), and Salt Lake City (2015). These Parliament events are the world’s oldest, largest, and most inclusive gatherings of the global interfaith movement. Professor Mark Toulouse, Co-Chair of the host committee, believes that “the selection of Toronto was a perfect match for the Parliament.” He continues, “As one of the most international, multicultural, and religiously pluralistic cities in the world, Toronto provides a perfect venue for the Parliament of the World’s Religions. More than 140 languages are spoken every day, and at least 47% of Toronto’s population speak a native language other than French or English. Over half were born outside of Canada, representing more than 200 ethnic origins.” In a May 2 press conference and reception at the Toronto City Hall, Parliament of the World’s Religions Executive Director Dr. Larry Greenfield said the 2018 event is an “extraordinary opportunity for people of the globe to engage the crucial issues of our world, such as climate change, poverty, and violence." https://parliamentofreligions.org/blog/2017-05-02-1519/toronto-canada-named-host-7th-parliament-worlds-religions-2018?mc_cid=3d7103ad7c&mc_eid=b99c7fea40 Christianity is dying = Islam is growing rapidly: Europe: What Happens to Christians There Will Come Here April 30, 2017 In the Middle East, "Christianity is over in Iraq" due to Islamic extremism; in Europe, Christianity is committing suicide. Within 20 years, more babies will be born to Muslim women than to Christian women world-wide; it is just the latest sign of the rapid growth that seems to be making Islam the world's largest religion by the end of the century, according to a new study released by the Pew Research Center. "Christianity is literally dying in Europe," said Conrad Hackett, the head of the researchers who worked on the Pew report. According to it, between 2010 and 2015, the Muslim population increased by more than 150 million people to 1.8 billion. Father Benedict Kiely, a Catholic priest who founded nasarean.org, which helps persecuted Christians in the Middle East, recently met some Christians persecuted by ISIS in Iraq. As he left the country, another elderly priest, himself a refugee, gripped Kiely's hand and told him in Arabic: "Be careful, be very careful. What has happened here will come to you".

It also includes national suffering inflicted upon the Jewish people, such as persecution, exile and anti-Semitism, Rabbi Kessin continued. Millennia of Jewish suffering, along with Jews who have done God’s will in the form of mitzvot and teshuva, have helped bring the world to a state of 98 percent readiness for the Messiah today. What is the purpose of all of this preparation? According to Rabbi Kessin, all of human history has been about preparing the world to receive God’s goodness. “God created the universe to bestow an infinite amount of goodness on a human being… What God wants is that you should be attached to Him.” For humans to be attached to God is, as Rabbi Kessin explains, the endgame of the redemptive process. Today, humanity is closer than ever to achieving that closeness. https://www.breakingisraelnews.com/84110/world-98-ready-messiah-says-end-days-rabbi/#RgEcQRSURylDza5b.99 40 years of hatred encapsulated in Iranian (US) Embassy Museum: Inside Tehran's monument to US 'arrogance' April 26, 2017 The US embassy in Iran has been reopened as a museum chronicling the bitter history of bilateral relations. Payam Mohseni, the director of Harvard University's Iran Project, noted that in light of Iran's "long arm" in conflicts throughout the Middle East, the Trump administration cannot approach any major regional crisis without dealing with Iran in some capacity. "Iran will be a top priority for Trump's Middle East policy, and whether he chooses to increase tensions or de-escalate, he will be forced to deal with Iran over issues ranging from Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen to Persian Gulf security in the Middle East". On a recent afternoon, a handful of tourists strolled among the various artworks outside the embassy's front entrance. Labelled the "Museum-Garden of Anti-Arrogance", the lawn is packed with anti-US and anti-Israel political statements: One poster shows drops of blood raining down and burying the Statue of Liberty; another depicts the US flag with guns for its stripes; a third features an image of the devil with the caption "I love Israel". These decades of tension are evidenced within the walls of the embassy museum, where one-sided exhibits paint the hostage crisis as a victory exposing the extent of the subterfuge perpetrated by the "Great Satan". http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2017/04/tehran-monument-arrogance-170424122742752.html What you sow – You reap: ISIS Radicals Killed by Wild Boars After Jihadists Slaughter 25 Captives Apr 27, 2017 A stampede of wild boars killed at least three Islamic State fighters near farmland in Iraq, reports have said, not long after the radical group slaughtered 25 captives. The herd of wild boars attacked the jihadists as they were setting up an ambush in a bed of reeds near fields in the Hamrin mountains, about 55 miles southwest of the city of Kirkuk. The IS fighters, who were getting ready to attack local tribesmen who have been aiding in the fight to drive the extremists out of the country, apparently disturbed the boars, who were hidden in the reeds. "It is likely their movement disturbed a herd of wild pigs, which inhabit the area as well as the nearby cornfields," said Sheikh Anwar al-Assi, a chief of the local Ubaid tribe and supervisor of anti-IS forces. "The area is dense with reeds, which are good for hiding in." Another five IS members were injured by the hogs, along with the three fighters that were killed. Iraqi News reported that the incident took place shortly after IS radicals executed 25 people who had been trying to flee the captured territory near Kirkuk. http://www.christianpost.com/news/isis-radicals-killed-wild-boars-jihadists-slaughter-25-captives-181897/#KhvTxl0GScAccAtF.99 No Word -No Faith: The Bible – helpful, but not read much April 25, 2017 The Bible may be a source of wisdom for many Americans but most don’t read it for themselves, a new survey shows.

So did Iran and Libya…until Islamic Revolution…. (Video) April 26, 2017 You’ll probably find this hard to believe, but forty to fifty years ago, in the 1960s and 1970s, countries like Afghanistan, Iran and Libya used to be pretty cool places. Women were liberated and could be educated. There was music and dancing and laughter. People were reasonably free. People were almost behaving like what most of us would consider to be modern human beings. In fact, Afghanistan, Iran and Libya almost resembled many European countries - Then came the Religion of Love and Slaughter and I guess you know the rest. http://www.snouts-in-the-trough.com/archives/18565 More talk and hope for the "Third Temple": Over a thousand participants in circling of Temple Mount The traditional monthly circuit of the Temple Mount gates took place Tuesday night in honor of the new month of Iyar 4/26/2017 More than a thousand marchers participated Tuesday night in the monthly tradition of going round the gates of the Temple Mount in honor of the new Hebrew month of Iyar. Rabbi Yosef Palay from the El Har Hamor association which organizes the circling of the gates said that the month of Iyyar is the month in which Solomon completed the building of the First Temple.

College Bans Christian Preaching, Calling the Gospel 'Fighting Words' Apr 22, 2017 In response to a First Amendment lawsuit against it, Georgia Gwinnett College argues that it removed a Christian preacher from campus because his speech, though made in a "free speech zone," rose to the level of "fighting words." Student Chike Uzuegbunam's discussion of his Christian faith led to "fighting words" and he "used contentious religious language that, when directed to a crowd, has a tendency to incite hostility," the school says in a motion filed earlier this month seeking to dismiss the case, according to Campus Reform. "If students want to speak — whether through oral or written communication — anywhere else on campus, then they must obtain a permit from college officials. Thus, students may not speak spontaneously anywhere on campus. If students violate this policy, they ... expose themselves to a variety of sanctions, including expulsion," the student noted in his complaint against the school. "I was walking across the grassy area near Fort Hill after class at about 3:15 when I saw someone sitting in a folding chair. Next to him was another folding chair with an 8x10 sign that said PRAYER. I approached him and we sat down to pray for a few minutes. When we finished, a man from the university approached us and said he could not be praying there because it was not a 'designated free speech area' and presented the person who was praying with a form for the procedures for applying for 'solicitation' on campus. He told him he had to leave." http://www.christianpost.com/news/college-bans-christian-preaching-calling-the-gospel-fighting-words-181301/#aFDXegHcMGvwJ9gH.99 Israel's Prime Miister Tells it like it is! Netanyahu: Palestinians must make ‘real change’ for peace (Video) In Fox News interview, PM calls on Trump to pressure Abbas at upcoming meeting on incitement, payments to terrorists’ families April 22, 2017 'They pay terrorists on a sliding scale... the more you kill, the more you get' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday called for international pressure on the Palestinians to stop incitement and halt stipend payments to the families of terrorists, in what he called “the first test of peace.” Speaking to Fox News’s Sean Hannity ahead of US President Donald Trump’s meeting with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in Washington on May 3, Netanyahu said that while Israeli leaders are “held accountable for every word… in the case of Abbas it’s like he lives in a different universe. He can say ‘I want peace’ to Western leaders, ‘I want peace, I’m willing to recognize Israel,’ but then to his own people he says the very opposite.” Netanyahu speaks on many important issues in this 13 minute video: http://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-palestinians-must-make-real-change-for-peace/?utm_source=The+Times+of+Israel+Daily+Edition&utm_campaign=cb5e7dd0cb-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_04_22&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_adb46cec92-cb5e7dd0cb-54606857 Water will be more valuable than gold soon... South India's Drought: Five states face severe water crisis made worse by the onset of summer April 21, 2017 South India is parched — Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu are already reeling under severe drought, and Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are on the brink — now the blistering heat waves will probably put more pressure on the existing water resources. While Kerala and Tamil Nadu are facing an unprecedented drought – the worst ever in over a century, according to experts; Karnataka’s northern districts are without water for the third consecutive year. Groundwater is being drawn at an alarming rate by the civic bodies, citizens and illegal water tankers alike. As a result, groundwater levels have fallen drastically – between 5 and 10 feet – across the state. Water supply has been rationed. “It is a drought we have not seen in 110 years. Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and it is due to global climate change. We may see a repeat of 2015 (floods) next year or the rains may fail again like they did in 2016.

Climate change is turning abnormal weather into a common occurrence: Last year was the warmest year on record, the third in a row, and there were more heat waves, freezes and storms in the United States that caused $1 billion or more in damage just in 2016 than in the years 1980 to 1984 combined. Anything that improves conditions for mosquitoes tips the scales for the diseases they carry as well: the West Nile virus that flattened Dallas, the dengue that returned to Florida in 2009 after 63 years and the newest arrival, Zika, which gained a toehold in the United States last year and is expected to surge this summer. “These aberrant years are becoming more common,” Haley told me. “Climate change is clearly altering the environment in ways that increase the potential for these diseases.” When the health effects of climate change are discussed, the planet-scale impacts get the attention: rising temperatures, which can cause death from overheating; earlier springs, which pump more pollen toward the allergic; runoff from violent storms, which washes fecal bacteria out of sewer pipes; changing airflows that trap ozone near the ground, stressing the systems of people living with heart disease. When former Vice President Al Gore spoke at a meeting on climate and health in Atlanta in February, he chose to start his talk not with a starving polar bear or a glacier falling into the sea, but with images of mosquitoes and ticks. “Climate change is tilting the balance, disrupting natural ecosystems and giving more of an advantage to microbes,” Gore said, standing in front of a giant image of Aedes aegypti, the mosquito species that transmits yellow fever and dengue, and now the Zika virus as well. “Changing climate conditions change the areas in which these diseases can take root and become endemic.” Right now, yellow fever is causing an epidemic in South America, and dengue has been increasing in Central America. But in the United States, the most alarming disease linked to mosquitoes is Zika, which can cause devastating birth defects. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/20/magazine/why-the-menace-of-mosquitoes-will-only-get-worse.html What’s going on for efficiency and convenience sake ?  Swedish tech firm implants chips in employees’ hands Epicenter workers who opted for procedure can now unlock doors, operate printers at office by simply waving their hands. How would you feel about having a microchip implanted in your hand to make things more convenient at work? In Sweden, some workers are actually volunteering to do just that, electing to have a chip the size of a grain of rice implanted in their bodies to help them unlock doors, operate printers, open storage lockers and even buy smoothies with the wave of their hand, according to an Associated Press report. The promise behind the implat being offered at Epicenter is efficiency. People who get “chipped” — the same technology used to track pets or deliveries — can replace things like key cards, employee badges and credit cards for certain functions at the facility with technology that can’t be lost or left behind. the technology could be tried in the United States within a few years, at least as the next iteration of biometric scanners that log people in and out of work sites. C.R. Wright, a partner with the employment law firm Fisher & Phillips in Atlanta, said technology like fingerprint or hand scans have become more popular as a way to avoid forgotten badges, prevent workers from “buddy punching” the clock, and secure particularly sensitive or secretive facilities. “We already have biometric tags and packaging, it’s jumping to the human application,” he said. Though any kind of embedded microchip is likely to bring pushback from workers, “within the next five years I would think it will be tried here." https://www.thestar.com/business/2017/04/06/swedish-tech-firm-implants-chips-in-employees-hands.html This comes across a a very much needed security apparatus in today's world of thiefs and scammers: Eye Scans and Fingerprints: Covering Biometric Authentication April 20, 2017 As data hacks proliferate, financial institutions, government agencies and others are fighting back on multiple fronts. Many are piloting or implementing biometric authentication, using voice prints, facial recognition, eye scans and other physical characteristics to verify a user’s identity. It sounds like a scene from a James Bond movie, but the science is basic. A biometric system records records a person’s voice, fingerprint or other physical trait and translates it into code. The code is placed on file; the next time you use the system, your physical trait is matched against the code. Readers may not know the technical jargon, but they could already be interacting with biometrics. For instance, they might use a fingerprint to unlock their smartphone or log into a mobile banking app. Or if they’re part of NEXUS, a program that expedites border-crossings between the U.S. and Canada, they might undergo an iris scan. The technology is intriguing and the industry is full of potential business stories. http://businessjournalism.org/2017/04/covering-biometric-authentication/ New Age -New Spiritual Pursuit– New World Religious Order on the way: A new kind of sacred space on campus April 21, 2017 Despite a well-documented drop in enthusiasm for organized religion among young people, many are still looking for avenues to spirituality that value dialogue, understanding, empathy and authenticity. The recently opened Snyder Sanctuary at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla., is an architectural answer to facilitate this spiritual search, to help people of all backgrounds find common ground and to inspire them. Through light, space, materials and geometry, the new Snyder Sanctuary recalls some of the timeless architectural qualities that have marked sacred places around the world for thousands of years. It is a new sacred space, a spiritual place for a new generation seeking understanding and acceptance. http://religionnews.com/2017/04/21/a-new-kind-of-sacred-space-on-campus/ Everyone sees it… it’s time to wake up: 50 years ago Jerusalem was finally reunited.

As a result, our options to stop them from developing a delivery system capable of reaching our shores are severely limited. The hard lesson from our failure to stop North Korea before they became a nuclear power is that we MUST stop Iran from ever developing or acquiring a nuclear arsenal. A nuclear Iran would be far more dangerous to American interests than a nuclear North Korea. Iran already has missiles capable of reaching numerous American allies. They are in the process of upgrading them and making them capable of delivering a nuclear payload to our shores. Its fundamentalist religious leaders would be willing to sacrifice millions of Iranians to destroy the "Big Satan" (United States) or the "Little Satan" (Israel). The late "moderate" leader Hashemi Rafsanjani once told an American journalist that if Iran attacked Israel with nuclear weapons, they "would kill as many as five million Jews," and that if Israel retaliated, they would kill fifteen million Iranians, which would be "a small sacrifice from among the billion Muslims in the world." He concluded that "it is not irrational to contemplate such an eventuality." Recall that the Iranian mullahs were willing to sacrifice thousands of "child-soldiers" in their futile war with Iraq. There is nothing more dangerous than a "suicide regime" armed with nuclear weapons. READ MORE: https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10233/north-korea-iran Here in America? Better keep your eyes open: FBI Investigating Radical Terrorists in All 50 States as Threats Hit Peak Terrorists inside America plotting attacks 'each and every single day' APRIL 20, 2017 Department of Homeland Security Kelly says: “We are under attack from terrorists both within and outside of our borders. They are without conscience, and they operate without rules. They despise the United States, because we are a nation of rights, laws, and freedoms. They have a single mission, and that is our destruction.” The FBI has "open terrorist investigations in all 50 states," according to DHS Secretary John Kelly, who disclosed on Tuesday that there have been at least 37 "ISIS-linked plots to attack our country" since 2013, a number that shows no signs of diminishing. "We don’t know their intentions," Kelly said during an address at George Washington University. "We don’t know why they’re here or why they’re coming. We are completely blind to what they’re capable of." Terrorist also continues to sprout inside American communities across the country, according to Kelly, who said that in just the past year, there have been "36 homegrown terrorist cases in 18 states." "We’ve seen an unprecedented spike in homegrown terrorism," Kelly disclosed. "These are the cases we know about—homegrown terrorism is notoriously difficult to predict and control." Terrorists in the United States are plotting attacks "every single day," according to Kelly. "I tell you, without exaggeration, they try to carry out this mission each and every single day and no one can tell you how to stop it. No one," he said. http://freebeacon.com/national-security/fbi-investigating-radical-terrorists-50-states-threats-hit-peak/ Denial or willfull ignorance? Fresno, California: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” murders three people, cops unsure if this was terrorism Feb 20, 2017 It is unclear as of yet whether or not Kori Ali Muhammad had an ISIS membership card, hence cops are holding out hope that he is “mentally ill.”And so the denial and willful ignorance persist in the face of the ongoing jihad. According to Police Chief Jerry Dyer, the suspect was later spotted by a police officer, after which he “literally dove onto the ground”. While being taken into custody, the man – identified as 39-year-old Kori Ali Muhammad – shouted “Allahu Akbar.” It is not yet known whether the shootings are an act of terrorism, Chief Dyer said.

Annette Pryce, a NUT executive member from Buckinghamshire, claimed that the U.K. government hasn't been doing enough to promote inclusion. "Those generations of young LGBT people who have been failed by the system are still not told explicitly in the law that their lives are important too. The NUT ... needs to ensure that SRE is inclusive to LGBT young people now and forever," Pryce said. http://www.christianpost.com/news/children-must-be-taught-transgenderism-homosexuality-nursury-school-uk-teachers-say-181006/#5Zfq7wAGj2je1WCM.99 Matthew 24:8-9: “All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My Name's sake.” WAR, TERRORISM, AND THE CHRISTIAN EXODUS FROM THE MIDDLE EAST April 2017 The largest exodus of Christians is in Iraq, where the group has been trapped in escalating sectarian clashes between Sunni and Shiite Muslims, targeted by an Al Qaeda franchise, and forced to flee by the Islamic State. “There were 1.3 million Christians in Iraq in 2003. We’re down by a million since then,” with hundreds more leaving each month. Bashar Warda, a Chaldean bishop in the northern city of Erbil, the Kurdish capital, told me last month, “It’s very hard to maintain a Christian presence now. Families have ten reasons to leave and not one reason to stay. This is a critical time in our history in this land. We are desperate.” Last month, I drove to Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city and home for two millennia to one of the world’s oldest Christian communities. Within days of its conquest of Mosul, isis issued an ultimatum to Christians to either convert to Islam, pay an exorbitant and open-ended tax, or face death “by the sword.” Homes of Christians were marked by a large “N” for “Nassarah,” a term in the Koran for Christians. Some thirty-five thousand Christians fled. Many of their homes were ransacked and then set alight. En route to Mosul, I passed other Christian villages, like Bartella, that had also emptied. Even gravestones at the local cemetery were bullet-ridden. In all, a hundred thousand Christians from across the Biblical Nineveh Plains are estimated to have abandoned their farmlands, villages, and towns for refuge in northern Kurdistan—or beyond Iraq’s borders. “For the first time in the history of Iraq, Mosul is now empty of Christians,” the Chaldean Patriarch Louis Sako told Agence France-Presse. The Christian flight has broader implications for the Middle East. “If one of the most important religious groups in the world continues to be forced out of the Middle East, this bodes negatively for pluralism, tolerance, and the ability of the region’s people to live interlinked with the rest of the world.” Much more: http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/war-terrorism-and-the-christian-exodus-from-the-middle-east Professing to be wise, they became fools... SILICON VALLEY’S QUEST TO LIVE FOREVER April 2017 Can billions of dollars’ worth of high-tech research succeed in making death optional? Joon Yun, a doctor who runs a health-care hedge fund, announced that he and his wife had given the first two million dollars toward funding a challenge. “I have the idea that aging is plastic, that it’s encoded,” he said. “If something is encoded, you can crack the code.” To growing applause, he went on, “If you can crack the code, you can hack the code!” It’s a big ask: more than a hundred and fifty thousand people die every day, the majority of aging-related diseases. Yet Yun believes, he told me, that if we hack the code correctly, “thermodynamically, there should be no reason we can’t defer entropy indefinitely. We can end aging forever.” Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google “called me yesterday and said, ‘I’m reading this book, “Homo Deus,” and it says on page twenty-eight that I’m going to die.’ I said, ‘It says you, personally?’ He said, ‘Yes!’ ” (In the book, the author, Yuval Noah Harari, discusses Google’s anti-aging research, and writes that the company “probably won’t solve death in time to make Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin immortal.”) Brin, sitting a few feet away, gave the crowd a briskly ambiguous nod: Yes, I was singled out for death; no, I’m not actually planning to die.” Martine Rothblatt, the founder of a biotech firm called United Therapeutics, which intends to grow new organs from people’s DNA. “Clearly, it is possible, through technology, to make death optional,” Rothblatt said. (She has already commissioned a backup version of her wife, Bina—a “mindclone” robot named Bina48.) “It’s enormously gratifying to have the epitome of the establishment, the head of the National Academy of Medicine, say, ‘We, too, choose to make death optional!” http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/04/03/silicon-valleys-quest-to-live-forever Tell your kids to use condoms, but don't tell them the Easter Bunny isn't real???

There are very few people in the world that capable of doing that. Yet Yousef, known by his cover name, “The Green Prince”, found himself reexamining all of the axioms he had been taught by his father, Sheikh Hassan Yousef, one of the founders of the Hamas. What makes Yousef unique is that is he able and willing to come forward and state that he does not oppose individual people, but he feels that Muslim society needs to rethink its value system. That is what he did individually. “I’ve seen death and I came from hell,” he explains. It is an incredibly courageous thing to stand up against your own society’s basic beliefs, and a equally as courageous to speak about it. Yousef’s hope and optimism for the Muslim People is utopian, but, having lived in that world and gone through that exact journey himself, he is the one person that can give us all the faith that things can change, and the desire to work to make that hope a reality. http://www.israelvideonetwork.com/the-son-of-a-top-hamas-leader-just-said-something-that-will-completely-shock-you/ Hate Speech or a warning?

Gen. Zaher al-Sakat, who defected from Assad’s forces in 2013 and currently resides in an undisclosed European country, told the newspaper the Syrian leader had deceived United Nations inspectors sent into the country to destroy his chemical stockpiles. Sakat, who was head of chemical warfare in the Syrian army’s Fifth Division, has long claimed that Assad secretly held on to much of his stash. And after an April 4 suspected chemical attack killed at least 87 people, the defector has said the regime still has hundreds of tons of chemicals at hand. “They admitted only to 1,300 tons, but we knew in reality they had nearly double that,” Sakat told the Telegraph. “They had at least 2,000 tons at least.” Sakat has said in the past that he himself was ordered to carry out chemical strikes on three different occasions before he defected. In those instances he switched out the deadly agents in the bombs for harmless chemicals. “I couldn’t believe at the beginning that Assad would use these weapons on his people,” he said. “I could not stand and watch the genocide.

Here’s the new kid game for the Palestinian kids: In Gazan Version of 'Snakes And Ladders' Board Game, Players Proceed Towards Jerusalem Using Tunnels, Rockets April 10, 2017 A new board game for children called "Reaching Jerusalem" was recently launched in Gaza, created by a Gazan media producer who works at the Hamas Interior Ministry and aimed at "strengthening children's military culture and love of jihad." The game is a version of Snakes and Ladders in which the players' objective is to reach Jerusalem. The "ladders" that bring the players closer to the finish line are tunnels and Hamas-manufactured rockets, such as R160, M75 and S55 rockets, whereas the "snakes" that hinder their progress are IDF tanks and helicopters. The board is sprinkled with illustrations of Hamas fighters lying in wait for the enemy, attacking, and crawling through tunnels, as well as photos of cities inside Israel, such as Tiberias, Ashdod, Acre, Haifa, Jaffa, Ramlah and Safed, where Palestinians lived before the founding of Israel and where many of them demand to return. https://www.memri.org/reports/gazan-version-snakes-and-ladders-board-game-players-proceed-towards-jerusalem-using-tunnels This is uor challenge - are we going to stand back and let this type of hatred spread across the world?

Obsession: Radical Islam’s War against the West (Documentary) April 11, 2017 Yhis is a full length documentary put out by the “Clarion Project”, and it is an incredible education about radical Islamic terror around the world. The media of a nation helps understand its culture and its psyche. If that is the case, this film, which shows authentic Islamic media which is rarely seen in the West, presents a foreboding picture of a culture which emphasizes violence, violation of basic human rights, and nonacceptance. As Abd Al-Hamid Al-Ansari, former Dean of Islamic Law at Qatar University explains, “Our satellite channels deserve the name, ‘Media of Terrorism.’ They spread among the youth ideas that might not be considered outright terrorism but spread extremism. Such extremism is the beginning of violence and fanaticism, and violence leads to terrorism. Fanaticism – extremism – violence – terrorism.” That is a frightening and true statement… Time to watch this important documentary and.. wake up! http://www.israelvideonetwork.com/the-war-against-the-west-the-media-doesnt-like-to-tell-you-about/ Eree Speech is going to start unrestarained violence: Islamists Are Preparing to Take over America and Have Already Initiated Step 1 April 8, 2017 Universities across America are under threat.

Man Granted Divorce after Claiming His Wife Was Possessed by Satan April 11, 2017 A man has been granted a divorce after arguing in court that his wife was controlled by Satan via demonic possession. The unnamed Italian was allowed to separate from his wife after a court in Milan was told of her “inexplicable behavior” – including fits, levitation and superhuman strength. According to a report on Italian news site TheLocal.it, the man claimed his wife had been exhibiting bizarre symptoms for the past 10 years which were beyond the powers of medical science to explain. A priest and a monk were called as witnesses. One claimed that the woman, in the grip of a demonic force, picked up an entire church pew with one hand and threw it at the altar. https://heatst.com/life/man-granted-divorce-after-claiming-his-wife-was-possessed-by-satan/ Training for reinstating sacrifice for the Third Temple: 17 held for attempts to ‘sacrifice’ goats in Jerusalem Six animals seized by authorities in Old City; police check vehicles for goats to prevent activists from carrying out Biblically commanded offering April 11, 2017 Police said they detained at least 17 people over the course of Monday in Jerusalem over a number of suspected attempts to sacrifice kid goats for the Passover holiday. Police believe the suspects were en route to the Temple Mount to perform the act, in an attempted reenactment of the Passover sacrifice as described in the Bible. Activists annually request permission to fulfill the ritual, commanded in the Bible, on or near the Temple Mount, where such sacrifices were carried out in ancient times, when the sanctuaries stood at the site. Police and courts have refused to okay the practice on the grounds that it could cause unrest if it is held at one of the most contested sites in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The flashpoint Temple Mount is the holiest site in Judaism and the third-holiest in Islam after Mecca and Medina.Last week, security forces allowed a rehearsal sheep sacrifice to take place in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City. Previously, police had prevented such events anywhere in the Old City. http://www.timesofisrael.com/police-detain-17-over-suspected-attempts-to-sacrifice-goats-in-jerusalem/?utm_source=The+Times+of+Israel+Daily+Edition&utm_campaign=443a4b93b3-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_04_11&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_adb46cec92-443a4b93b3-54606857 The Road to peace in the Middle East?

Just like the Passover sacrifice that was offered in the time of the Temple, it will include slaughtering a lamb, flaying it in the traditional manner, throwing its blood on a model altar, and roasting and eating it. It will be preceded by a discussion of the Jewish laws of the ritual and the launching of an application to coordinate tours of the Temple Mount.

In the four-minute animated presentation, Rabbi Chaim Richman, Co-Founder and International Director of the Temple Institute walks viewers through halakhic sources. This is the fourth in the "Holy Temple Myth Busters" series which has already accumulated tens of thousands of views on the organization’s YouTube page of over 5 million total views. The Temple Institute has been educating Jews worldwide about the importance of the Korban Pesach for over three decades. However, this is the first time that an English explanation has been prepared with all relevant Torah sources in a way fit for everyone from laymen to scholars. According to Jewish law, the Temple Institute says, the offering is an obligation for all Jews and must be prepared on the Temple Mount on the eve of Passover, even in the absence of a Holy Temple. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/227695 Islamic take over in Great Britain: Londonistan: 423 New Mosques; 500 Closed Churches April 2, 2017 "London is more Islamic than many Muslim countries put together", according to Maulana Syed Raza Rizvi, one of the Islamic preachers who now lead "Londonistan", as the journalist Melanie Phillips has called the English capital. No, Rizvi is not a right-wing extremist. Wole Soyinka, a Nobel Laureate for Literature, was less generous; he called the UK "a cesspit for Islamists". "Terrorists cannot stand London multiculturalism", London's mayor Sadiq Khan said after the recent deadly terror attack at Westminster. The opposite is true: British multiculturalists are feeding Islamic fundamentalism. Above all, Londonistan, with its new 423 mosques, is built on the sad ruins of English Christianity. Since 2001, 500 London churches of all denominations have been turned into private homes. During the same period, British mosques have been proliferating. Between 2012 and 2014, the proportion of Britons who identify themselves as Anglicans fell from 21% to 17%, a decrease of 1.7 million people, while, according to a survey conducted by the respected NatCen Social Research Institute, the number of Muslims has grown by almost a million. Churchgoers are declining at a rate that within a generation, their number will be three times lower than that of Muslims who go regularly to mosque on Friday. https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10124/london-mosques-churches Jihad in America: It won't be too long... Detroit: Convert to Islam plotted jihad massacre in US for the Islamic State, had AK-47s and other weapons March 31, 2017 American officials remain completely uninterested in the recurring phenomenon of converts to Islam falling into what those officials generally insist is a perversion of the true, peaceful Islam. Why do so many converts get the idea that their new religion calls for treason and mass murder? No one seems to care to find the answer to that question A Detroit man accused of plotting jihad on behalf of the Islamic State accepted a plea deal with federal prosecutors Thursday and could spend up to five years in prison. Sebastian Gregerson admitted he acquired a fragmentation grenade last summer from an undercover FBI employee, a crime because the grenade was an unregistered destructive device. In court filings, prosecutors allege he acquired the grenades and other weapons in preparation for an attack in support of the Islamic State. He amassed an armory of weapons that were purchased, in part, by the former Maryland imam, Suleiman Bengharsa. The armory also included AK-47s, handguns, rifles, a shotgun and thousands of rounds of ammunition. https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/03/detroit-convert-to-islam-plotted-jihad-massacre-in-us-for-the-islamic-state-had-ak-47s-and-other-weapons Yes - Right here in America! Florida: Muslim prof teaches Islam as fact, Christian student disagrees, gets suspended, police report filed MARCH 27, 2017 The school’s academic double standard and complacency with dangerous hate speech is on full display. Not even a year after Radical Islamic terrorist Omar Mateen killed 49 people at Orlando’s Pulse nightclub, Rollins College officials are punishing a Christian Conservative student who challenged a liberal Muslim professor and radicalized Muslim student during a conversation on the application of Sharia Law. Marshall Polston confirmed to the Central Florida Post that Professor Areeje [actually Areej] Zufari, who teaches a “Muslim Humanities” course at Rollins, has made outlandish claims against him and even filed a false police report. Early on in the class, Polston said he realized the professor was harboring Anti-Christian beliefs, demonstrated by the professor’s assertion that the crucifixion of Jesus was a hoax and that his disciples did not believe he was God. Now we have learned that Polston has been suspended from the school and ordered not to appear on campus or have any contact with Professor Zufari. The Professor has also filed a police report with the Winter Park Police Department, claiming Polston violated the order and showed up to class on Thursday to harass her, according to documents obtained by the Central Florida Post. https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/03/florida-muslim-prof-teaches-islam-as-fact-christian-student-disagrees-gets-suspended-police-report-filed These religious Pyschopaths have a plan already implemented to eliminate the Unbelievers: The Master Plan of Jihad (Video) March 26, 2017 The jihadi war being waged against the West is not a new phenomenon.

Islam, Not Christianity, is Saturating Europe March 26, 2017 Jihadists seem to be leading an assault against freedom and against secular democracies. Sunni Islam's most prominent preacher, Yusuf al Qaradawi, declared that the day will come when, like Constantinople, Rome will be Islamized. It is Islam, not Christianity, that now saturates Europe's landscape and imagination. According to US President Trump's strategic advisor Steve Bannon, the "Judeo-Christian West is collapsing - it is imploding. And it's imploding on our watch.

The Super Buuble is going to pop: Financial Collapse Will Trigger Civil War-Doug Casey March 22, 2017 Casey says financial markets are all in bubble territory, but the bond market is in the biggest bubble of them all. Casey contends, “What papered things over? Why did it get better for the last few years? These governments have lowered interest rates to not just zero but less than zero in parts of the world. They have created scores of trillions of new currency units which have poured oil on the financial waters. That currency still exists and it’s going to come out, and it’s going to evidence itself in the form of retail inflation. So far, it’s just been inflation in the financial markets. They’ve created a bond super bubble. They’ve created a stock market bubble. They have created a real estate bubble in a number of places in the world. So, this is going to be very, very ugly. It’s hold on to your hat time.” Casey thinks the coming financial collapse will be the trigger. Casey says, “It’s going to come down eventually. I am worried about that, but we are in a situation where the country seems like it is just before a civil war. It will be more serious than just a financial collapse, and it is likely to be set off by a financial collapse.” Casey says, “The country has been living way above its means. The U.S. runs about a trillion dollar trade deficit with the rest of the world, but it’s a great deal for us. The U.S. prints up dollars and we ship them dollars, and they send us Sonys and Mercedes and coffee and all sorts of things imported into this country, but that can’t go on forever. So, what’s it going to look like? It will be very high levels of inflation. In 2007 to 2009, people lost their jobs. When a society is living above its means, people like waiters and bartenders . . . they’re fired because people are going to have to do those things for themselves. So, you are going to see lots of unemployment. There could be a lot of social upsets in this country.” http://usawatchdog.com/financial-collapse-will-trigger-civil-war-doug-casey/ Great information on the contrast between Christianity and Islam: Glazov Gang: Biblical Values vs. Islamic Values This special edition of the Glazov Gang was joined by Nonie Darwish, the author of the new book, Wholly Different: Why I Chose Biblical Values over Islamic Values.

In ‘historic’ move, Trump envoy hosts interfaith meeting At summit with Jason Greenblatt, Jewish, Muslim and Christian clergymen vow to advance peace and to ‘reject all incitement to violence’ March 16, 2017 Jason Greenblatt, the US administration’s Special Envoy for International Negotiations, on Thursday met with senior Jewish, Christian and Muslim religious leaders in Jerusalem, reportedly calling the meeting “the most important” of his visit. Greenblatt — a close confidant of US President Donald Trump — hosted the Council of Religious Institutions in the Holy Land at the US Consulate-General in Jerusalem just before he met for a second time this week with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “The leaders agreed that the search for peace must be governed by respect for life and human dignity for all people; to work together for peace, reconciliation, and a just solution; and to reject all incitement to violence,” said a statement released by the US Embassy in Tel Aviv. “If you don’t want religion to be part of the problem you have to make it part of solution,” Rosen went on. “That doesn’t mean religious leaders should replace politicians — that would be a disaster. But you have to engage with them.” http://www.timesofisrael.com/in-historic-move-trump-envoy-hosts-interfaith-meeting/?utm_source=The+Times+of+Israel+Daily+Edition&utm_campaign=c05aaf30b8-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_03_17&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_adb46cec92-c05aaf30b8-54606857 Debt is coming up to crush us: $21,714 for Every Man, Woman and Child In The World – This Global Debt Bomb Is Ready To Explode According to the International Monetary Fund, global debt has grown to a staggering grand total of 152 trillion dollars. Other estimates put that figure closer to 200 trillion dollars, but for the purposes of this article let’s use the more conservative number. If you take 152 trillion dollars and divide it by the seven billion people living on the planet, you get $21,714, which would be the share of that debt for every man, woman and child in the world if it was divided up equally. We are living during the greatest debt bubble in the history of the world, and our financial engineers have got to keep figuring out ways to keep it growing much faster than global GDP because if it ever stops growing it will burst and destroy the entire global financial system. Bill Gross, one of the most highly respected financial minds on the entire planet, recently observed that “our highly levered financial system is like a truckload of nitro glycerin on a bumpy road”. And he is precisely correct. Everything might seem fine for a while, but one day we are going to hit the wrong bump at the wrong time and the whole thing is going to go KA-BOOM. When you go into debt there are consequences. And when the greatest debt bubble in human history finally bursts, the consequences will be exceedingly severe. The best that our leaders can do for now is to keep the bubble alive for as long as possible, because what comes after the bubble is gone will be absolutely unthinkable. http://themostimportantnews.com/archives/21714-for-every-man-woman-and-child-in-the-world-this-global-debt-bomb-is-ready-to-explode Our Educational Systems are allowing Satanism out in the open: Satanist Students at Clemson University Hold 'Bible Torching' Ceremony March 12, 2017 Students at Clemson University purported to perform a "live bloodletting and lamb sacrifice" ceremony Saturday involving the burning of Bibles to "commemorate" a new chapel on the campus, according to reports. A group of students at the university in South Carolina, who call themselves the Clemson Unorthodox Neo-Satanic Temple and use the acronym C.U.N.T., advertised the event on a flier, inviting students to join them for the "ceremony" but without mentioning any location inside the campus or any contact information. The flier carried satanic images including pentagrams and goat skulls and listed activities that would be performed, such as a "Bible torching ceremony" with a $25 prize for the "C.U.N.T. sucker" who brings in the most Bibles and a "Pentagram completion event" intended to "summon Baphomet to celebrate the new Clemson Chapel," according to the college news website Campus Reform. http://www.christianpost.com/news/satanist-students-clemson-university-hold-bible-torching-ceremony-177327/#idCm5sudOJP3AOAf.99 Underestimated problem the world is facing: Cry of a river (Video) 8 Mar, 2017 According to a World Health Organization report, a full third of the world’s population lives without access to proper toilet facilities.

Iran’s Nuclear Deceit March 9, 2017 There is little if any doubt that Iran is developing nuclear weapons. The two main categories of nuclear bombs they are working towards are exemplified by the first atomic bombs ever exploded: 1) High-enriched uranium (<25 kg), suddenly assembled to form a critical mass (as used on Hiroshima in 1945), and 2) Plutonium-239 (<10 kg) suddenly compressed several-fold to render it critical at its new higher density, as tested at Truth Or Consequences, New Mexico and then used on Nagasaki in 1945. The Encyclopedia Americana article on the subject of atomic bomb design, composed by eminent experts who had served at the heart of the USA nuclear weapons program, is surprisingly informative in regards to Iran’s aspirations. The Islamic Republic has insisted they want nuclear fission reactors only to generate electricity. But they have plenty of byproduct natural gas from their oil-fields, which could be used to generate electricity in power stations. This route to expanding electricity generation capacity would be many times cheaper, several times faster to build and far more reliable than the nuclear route. Iran’s line that it wants nuclear power stations “just for electricity” is thoroughly false and completely deceitful. https://clarionproject.org/irans-nuclear-deceit/ Islam: the Religion of Peace?

However, when it came to answering Biblical or Christian questions, a majority of them lacked the knowledge. George Barna, the director of the survey, stated the study collected information about the attitudes held by American Christians with regard to general topics such as pornography, stealing, lying, cheating, consequences of unresolved sin, and the nature of God. The results indicated a significant discrepancy between the number of Americans calling themselves Christians and the number of Christians who actually held a biblical worldview. The final figure, according to Barna, was “alarming.” http://www.worldreligionnews.com/?p=35645 World War over Water? Very Possible... Pope Francis Warns of World War 3 March 2, 2017 Pope Francis warns the world about a possible World War 3. The Pope stated that the world might be moving toward a major world war for water. His warning focused on effects of water scarcity around the world which could potentially lead to a world war. He made the warning at the concluding session of the international seminar on the human right to water. The event was held at the Vatican’s Pontifical Academy of Sciences. The pope asked the crowd, “I ask if in this piecemeal third world war that we are living through, are we not going toward a great world war for water?” Pope Francis departed from his prepared speech. Experts stated that there is a possibility of an arms race over the possession or even access to water. The pope addressed the 90 experts coming from many countries. He emphasized on the urgent need to address the issue because all people have the right to safe drink water. Unfortunately, no one can guarantee that right today. The pope also cited a statistics from the United Nations, regarding the deaths of children due to water-related illnesses. Additionally, millions of people are consuming polluted water. The pope stated that the statistics are ‘troubling’ and people should not be indifferent to it. http://www.dailydisruption.com/pope-francis-warns-of-world-war-3/7610 Matthew 24:6 : “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars.

The historic era that could be called the post-Cold War order has come to an end. Its main result, as we see it, was the complete failure of the Cold War institutions to adapt to new realities. The world has become neither 'Western-centric,' nor a safer and more stable place. This is evident in the results of 'democratization' in the Middle East and North Africa, and in other places too. "NATO expansion has created a level of tension in Europe unseen in the last thirty years. Yet this year marks the 20th anniversary of the signing of the Russia-NATO Founding Act in Paris, and 15 years since the Rome Declaration on a new quality of Russia-NATO relations was adopted. These documents' basic premise was that Russia and the West took on a joint commitment to guarantee security on the basis of respect for each other's interests, to strengthen mutual trust, prevent a Euro-Atlantic split and erase dividing lines. We categorically reject the allegations of those who accuse Russia and the new centers of global influence of attempting to undermine the so-called 'liberal world order.' This global model was pre-programmed for crisis right from the time when this vision of economic and political globalization was conceived primarily as an instrument for ensuring the growth of an elite club of countries and its domination over everyone else. It is clear that such a system could not last forever. Leaders with a sense of responsibility must now make their choice. I hope that this choice will be made in favor of building a democratic and fair world order, a post-West world order, if you will, in which each country develops its own sovereignty within the framework of international law, and will strive to balance their own national interests with those of their partners, with respect for each country's cultural, historical and civilizational identity. https://www.memri.org/reports/munich-security-conference-russian-fm-lavrovs-call-new-world-order-counter-us-influence If the Christians talk negatively about the Commandments - this happens: Atheist forces school to drop Ten Commandments February 22, 2017 A Pennsylvania school district capitulated to the demands of a militant atheist who filed a federal lawsuit demanding the district remove a Ten Commandments monument erected on a public high school campus. New Kensington-Arnold School District agreed to remove the massive monument within 30 days – ending a lawsuit filed in 2012 by self-avowed atheist Marie Schaub. Schaub claimed the 6-foot stone monument erected outside Valley High School was a religious symbol and therefore was a violating of the U.S. Constitution. Schaub also claimed the monument was offensive to her and her daughter. I can only imagine which commandment she found to be most offensive. Maybe it was the one about graven images. The Freedom From Religion Foundation is a group of perpetually offended atheists, agnostics and self-professed free-thinkers based in Wisconsin. They intentionally bully and intimidate small towns and communities in their quest to eradicate Christianity from the public marketplace. The school district must also pay $164,000 in legal fees. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2017/02/22/atheist-forces-school-to-drop-ten-commandments.html "Holy Father" uninformed and out of touch with reality: Pope Francis Says “Muslim Terrorism” Does Not Exist February 18, 2017 Pope Francis ruffled feathers around the world this week when he denied the existence of “Muslim terrorism” despite hard evidence to the contrary. During his Friday address to an international meeting of populist movements, the pope claimed that, just like “Christian terrorism” and “Jewish terrorism” does not exist, neither does “Muslim terrorism.” While Francis likely meant that not all Muslims are terrorists, his words painfully ignored the fact that innocent victims around the world have been suffering from terror tactics used by radical Muslims.

PM says he won’t allow a Palestinian terrorist state, calls Trump greatest supporter of the Jewish people February 16, 2017 – A few excerpts: PRESIDENT TRUMP: “The state of Israel is a symbol to the world of resilience in the face of oppression — I can think of no other state that’s gone through what they’ve gone [through] — and of survival in the face of genocide. We will never forget what the Jewish people have endured. Your perseverance in the face of hostility, your open democracy in the face of violence, and your success in the face of tall odds is truly inspirational. The security challenges faced by Israel are enormous, including the threat of Iran’s nuclear ambitions, which I’ve talked a lot about. One of the worst deals I’ve ever seen is the Iran deal. My administration has already imposed new sanctions on Iran, and I will do more to prevent Iran from ever developing — I mean ever — a nuclear weapon. Our security assistance to Israel is currently at an all-time high, ensuring that Israel has the ability to defend itself from threats, of which there are unfortunately many.” NETANYAHU: “As you have said, our lives are based on a deep bond of common values and common interest. And increasingly, those values and interests are under attack by one malevolent force, radical Islamic terror. Mr. President, you’ve shown great clarity and courage in confronting this challenge head on. You call for confronting Iran’s terrorist regime, preventing Iran from realizing this terrible deal into a nuclear arsenal, and you have said that the United States is committed to preventing Iran from getting nuclear weapons. You call for the defeat of ISIS. I believe that under your leadership, this change in our region creates an unprecedented opportunity to strengthen security and advance peace. Let us seize this moment together. Let us bolster security. Let us seek new avenues of peace and let us bring the remarkable alliance between Israel and the United States to even greater heights.” http://www.timesofisrael.com/full-transcript-trump-netanyahu-talk-of-regional-approach-to-peace-at-white-house-press-conference/?utm_source=The+Times+of+Israel+Daily+Edition&utm_campaign=30748513af-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_02_16&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_adb46cec92-30748513af-54606857 Very informative and spot on: Convergence Prophecy Conference 2017 – Tom Doyle This presentation is very well prepared and full of current news of how God is taking the reins into His Own Hands. A must see presentation! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdqkRFujSYI&feature=share Security plans for the future: Eye scans- Biometrics Biometrics, borders and banks: what U.S. can learn from other nations Many of the challenges the U.S. government will encounter in implementing a new biometrics identity system are the same ones that banks face. Both would be wise to study what other countries are already doing. In the executive order temporarily banning travelers from seven countries, President Trump told the Department of Homeland Security to expedite the completion and implementation of a biometric entry-exit tracking system for all travelers to the U.S. Canada's program is used by frequent travelers who register to have their irises scanned and undergo a background check in the hopes of a quicker border crossing. Hundreds of thousands of people use it. There's also India's Aadhaar program, which has identified 1.2 billion citizens with iris and fingerprint scans. Though it's a national ID program, rather than a border-crossing program, it's another role model for the U.S., especially because of its large scale. "They've figured out how to store and manage ten fingerprints and two irises from a billion people," Bowyer noted. ID2020 is a United Nations initiative that aims to provide digital identities to everyone, especially the 1.5 billion people who don't have any form of identification, by 2030. It's also making biometrics part of its program. https://www.americanbanker.com/news/biometrics-borders-and-banks-what-us-can-learn-from-other-nations What Banks See in Eye Biometrics February 8th, 2017 Identity verification is a critical problem for banks, but in today’s evolving security landscape, there are many options available to financial institutions looking to provide a biometric authentication solution for their consumers. The problem is, many of these solutions focus more on being consumer-friendly or on the marketing needed to get users interested instead of what really matters – verifying that consumers are really who they say they are. But Toby Rush, CEO and founder of EyeVerify, says it’s possible for banks to have the best of both worlds. “We’re approaching this really as a payment-grade solution — whereas a lot of other biometrics are a little bit more consumer-focused or more about flash and marketing than they really are about security,” Rush explained. EyeVerify is unique in that it authenticates online transactions using pictures of the human eyeball, or eyeprinting. The Eyeprint ID for mobile login solution takes a photo of a user’s eye from the smartphone and examines the eye-vein patterns to create a digital key instead of a complex password. According to EyeVerify, the technology is more than 99.99 percent accurate, making passwords a thing of the past. http://www.pymnts.com/news/biometrics/2017/what-banks-see-in-eye-biometrics/ Still planning on the Third Temple Building: Watch: Will the Holy Temple descend from heaven? Temple Institute continues in Episode 2 of series to challenge commonly-held beliefs about Holy Temple. For the last three decades the Temple Institute in Jerusalem has focused on research and preparation for the Third Holy Temple. Now, a newly released video series entitled “Holy Temple Myth Busters” will share some of its most complex research in easy to understand episodes that destroy ancient myths and pre-conceived notions pertaining to the religious requirements to re-build the Third Holy Temple. The current episode deals with the commonly-held belief that the Temple will miraculously descend from heaven, somehow alleviating the Jewish people of their Biblical requirement to build it. Rabbi Chaim Richman, a co-founder of the organization and its International Director takes viewers on a seven-minute visual journey through the ages that blows this myth out of the water with tens of religious sources and historical precedents. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/224566 Islam is Submission for everyone...

Ali Akbar Velayati, who advises Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on foreign affairs, said that Iran had not breached a nuclear deal reached with six major powers in 2015. "Iran is the strongest power in the region and has a lot of political, economic and military power ... America should be careful about making empty threats to Iran," he added. "Iran will continue to test its capabilities in ballistic missiles and Iran will not ask any country for permission in defending itself," vowed Velayati. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/224348 Wow - UN Chief tells the truth! PALESTINIANS SLAM UN CHIEF'S REMARKS ON JEWISH TIES TO TEMPLE MOUNT Feb 2, 2017 Antonio Guterres also reportedly says that he has no intention of pushing for a peace process between Israel and the Palestinians.Officials criticized United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Sunday for saying that a Jewish temple existed atop the Temple Mount. Gueterres ignored UNESCO’s decision that considered the Al-Aksa Mosque of pure Islamic heritage,” Adnan al-Husseini, Palestinian Authority Jerusalem Affairs minister, told Xinhua, a Chinese news outlet, clarifying that the UN secretary-general “violated all legal, diplomatic and humanitarian customs, overstepped his role as secretary general, and…must issue an apology to the Palestinian people.” Speaking to Israel Radio on Friday, Guterres reportedly said that it is "completely clear that the Temple that the Romans destroyed in Jerusalem was a Jewish temple." The new UN chief added that there is "no doubt" that Jerusalem is holy to all three of the major monotheistic religions. He also said, according to Israel Radio, that he had no intention of pushing for a peace process between Israel and the Palestinians, though he believes in the two-state solution and would assist in that goal if asked. http://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/Palestinians-slam-UN-chiefs-remarks-on-Jewish-ties-to-Temple-Mount-480004 Revelation 11:18: The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come,” Trump Protects U.S., World Gets Enraged Unlike the Berlin Wall, Trump’s wall is simply a national security initiative.

We need you to understand that these political leaders do not speak for us, that they are not acting on our behalf, that, yes, they represent a part of our nation’s past, but not the best of our past. In fact, they represent the worst part of our national history. They do not stand in the lineage of one of our greatest presidents, Abraham Lincoln, who in a time of great national division, asked that we draw on “the better angels of our nature.” Now we are being blemished again, this time by our current president. He is using fear to rally our fellow citizens to demonize people from particular countries and a particular religion and to keep them from entering our country – a country, as you no doubt know, is a nation mostly of immigrants.

(The term “allied” was used in the report because it is not officially a NATO exercise; it just happens to be an exercise conducted by a large number of NATO countries). Hodges was blunt about Russia being the reason for his presence. “Russian aggression takes many forms: Cyber, misinformation, threatening other countries, Russian snap exercises,” he said, adding that he was confident “Moscow will get the message.” General Hodges will be pleased to know Moscow did indeed get the message, as Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov denounced the Poland deployment as provocative and a “security threat.” “We perceive it as a threat. These actions threaten our interests, our security - Especially as it concerns a third party building up its military presence near our borders. It’s not even a European state,” Peksov said http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2017/01/31/nato-tank-maneuvers-poland-not-just-training-exercise/ TROUBLE BREWING: Texas officials warn of Islamic State threat to U.S.-Mexican border January 27, 2017 A report by the Texas Department of Public Safety raises concerns about ISIS terrorists using the Mexican border both to enter and leave the country. It noted that at least 13 aspiring terrorists have tried to cross into Mexico, or considered trying, since 2012. Most of those cases involved people who knew they were on the federal no-fly list but wanted to travel to join terrorists, the report said. Sneaking across the southern border “presents an opportunity for increasing numbers of aspiring foreign terrorist fighters to evade US interdiction efforts such as the No-Fly List.” https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/01/texas-officials-warn-of-islamic-state-threat-to-u-s-mexican-border The world against Israel: Psalm 2:1-4: “Why do the nations rage and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying, "Let us break their bonds in pieces and cast away Their cords from us." He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The LORD shall hold them in derision.” The UN against Israel: Unfair Balances Nikki Haley, Donald Trump’s pick for UN ambassador, strongly defends Israel. It sounds good to hear someone speaking about Israel in a positive way and promising to never throw Israel under the bus. Following recent actions against Israel in the U.N., the U.S. is finally defending the one, tiny Jewish country. Nikki cites some shocking statistics concerning the partial UN against the Jewish state.

Automatic recognition system to replace passport control at Australian airports Jan 22, 2017 he Australian government has announced a radical overhaul of its security system at its airports planning to replace traditional ID checks with a biometric self-processing system dubbed, the Seamless Traveller. The Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) announced that it will proceed with the transition to a “contactless” ID check system this year under the initiative first announced in 2015. The new technology is expected to abolish the need for passenger cards, passport control and will replace manned desks and electronic stations with automatic triage. The SmartGates, which were introduced at Australian airports less than ten years ago and used to electronically scan passengers’ passports, will also be replaced by the new system. Passengers will not need to show their passports or any other ID documents as well as to contact customs officers or other officials, as they will be instead processed through biometric recognition of their face, iris and fingerprints that will be matched to existing data. the passengers are likely to be asked to pass through a sort of a corridor with their biometrics being captured and checked without them even stopping. The analyst also stressed that the proposed innovation could be possible due to the massive amount of passenger data - including ticket information, travel history and criminal records - collected and stored globally. Dutton said that the new tech would be not only more convenient but will also provide a higher level of security. Australia is not the only country developing such technology as similar innovations have been tested by the US Customs and Border Protection in John F. Kennedy International Airport and Washington Dulles International Airport in 2015 and 2016, respectively. The US also plans to introduce such technology at all major airports, although it has not set any specific deadlines yet, the International Business Times reports. https://www.rt.com/news/374723-australia-airports-biometric-control/ War is on the horizon: TRUMP TO DEVELOP MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM AGAINST IRAN, NORTH KOREA 20 JANUARY 2017 The administration also stated it would make defeating "radical Islamic terror groups" its top foreign policy goal. Trump, a Republican, used his inaugural address on Friday to promise to "unite the civilized world against radical Islamic terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the earth." In the statement, titled "America First Foreign Policy," the Trump administration said, "Defeating ISIS and other radical Islamic terror groups will be our highest priority." ISIS is an acronym for Islamic State. In order to "defeat and destroy" Islamic State and similar groups, the new administration said it "will pursue aggressive joint and coalition military operations when necessary," work to cut off funding for terrorist groups, expand intelligence sharing, and use "cyberwarfare" to disrupt propaganda and recruitment efforts. http://www.jpost.com/Middle-East/Trump-to-develop-missile-defense-system-against-Iran-North-Korea-479120 What happens when Christians get persecuted: Scores of Muslims Turning to Christ in Middle East; Churches Expecting 'Millions' of Converts January 11, 2017 Thousands of Muslims are turning to Jesus Christ and what they view as the "religion of freedom" amid ongoing bloodshed in the Middle East, reports indicate.

Sally Sarratt and Maria Swearingen were presented to the congregation during worship services Sunday (Jan. 8) and are set to begin their new jobs on Feb. 26. A spokeswoman for the congregation said she didn’t know whether a gay couple leading a church was a first for Baptists. “We look for the best people in the world and that’s who they were,” said Carol Blythe. “We’re very excited.” In 2014, after the Supreme Court legalized marriage for gay couples, and the court denied South Carolina’s attempt at a stay, Sarratt told The Greenville News that the couple knew many who “chose sexual identity over a life of faith,” but that there is no need to sacrifice either. “We have found it so easy to fall in love with Calvary and its longstanding commitment to be a voice of justice and compassion for those who perpetually find the wholeness of their humanity disregarded and maligned,” the couple said to the congregation Sunday, according to the church. http://religionnews.com/2017/01/09/gay-couple-will-pastor-historic-baptist-dc-church/ The 1 Million who lived here have nothing to come back to.

Battle over the Temple Mount Continues: Islamic Guards Ban Mention of Jewish Connection January 6, 2017 Respected archaeologist Professor Gabriel Barkay was lecturing a group of students from the University of California on a tour of the Temple Mount on Sunday when he was confronted by a Waqf guard who ordered him to stop using the term ‘Temple Mount’. Barkay continued his lecture about the pre-Islamic history of the site and used the term ‘Temple Mount’ once again. The Waqf guard ordered the professor to accompany him and they walked to a nearby group of Israeli policemen. The Waqf guard reported Barkay to the police, telling them they wanted the archaeologist removed from the site. The Israeli police, who have authority over who enters the compound, refused, pointing out that it is not illegal to use the term. The Israeli police advised Barkay to refrain from using the term, and for the rest of the tour, he referred to the site as ‘T.M.’. Rough treatment is not reserved for the Jewish visitors who try to assert their nation’s history. In August of 2015, a Christian tourist was attacked on the Temple Mount by a mob of Muslims, struck on the head with a rock, for the crime of carrying a small souvenir Israeli flag. The guide related how a group of Christians he was leading on the Temple Mount were removed for acknowledging the site’s significance to Judaism. https://www.breakingisraelnews.com/81511/islamic-waqf-guards-ban-mention-temple-mount-holy-site/#3pfl922xU7A40fza.99 Look up... Goodbye cruel world: Professor predicts societal collapse in 2020s Jan 6, 2017 We are living in society’s twilight years – if a professor of ecology and mathematics from the University of Connecticut is correct.

But Professor Peter Turchin from the University of Connecticut claims that it is time to prepare for political turmoil that could rock society to its core. Turchin also notes that the weakening fiscal health of the state, which occurs as revenues fall and expenses rise, while quality of life stagnates and declines, will also play into instability in the US.

UN photographer Muse Mohammed has documented how they have coped Civil war- Climate change- Starvation- Natural disaster- Terrorism: The causes are many, the results are grimly familiar for tens of millions of people displaced from their homes around the world and forced to find shelter and food often thousands of miles away, in unfamiliar, sometimes unwelcoming regions. Such is the prospect faced by communities around the globe in 2017, as this series of remarkable photographs for the International Organization for Migration (IOM) – the United Nations agency – by its staff photographer, Muse Mohammed. Data collected by the UN reveal that there are 65.3 million displaced people worldwide, matching the population of the UK. Most are displaced within their country’s borders and 21.3 million fled as refugees. The UN said in a major report that wars and persecution have driven more people from their homes – some to locations within their own countries, others across borders to communities that may reject them – than at any time since its records began. They are fleeing within and from countries as far apart as Papua New Guinea, Yemen, South Sudan, Nigeria and Cambodia. Many are children: in 2015, children made up 51% of the world’s refugees. Many were separated from their parents or travelling alone. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/dec/31/far-from-home-60-million-people-displaced-un-war-climate-change-terrorism Germany is waking up! German authorities puzzled over Koran disposal January 4, 2017 Police have confiscated tens of thousands of copies of a banned version of the Koran that came under fire for promoting religious hatred. Now the authorities must decide what to do with them. Throughout 2016, German authorities carried out raids on hundreds of locations across 10 federal states in a crackdown on the "True Religion" Salafist group, confiscating tens of thousands of copies of a fundamentalist translation of the Koran. According to media reports on Friday, the government was grappling with how to dispose of the texts - and the only option may be to bury the whole lot in the desert. In one warehouse alone in the Cologne suburb of Pulheim, wrote German broadcaster WDR, some 22,000 of these controversial Korans sit wrapped in plastic. Emblazoned with the word "Lies!" which translates to "Read!" or "Read It," the books were removed from circulation for "spreading messages of hate and anti-constitutional ideologies," in the words of Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere. http://www.dw.com/en/german-authorities-puzzled-over-koran-disposal/a-36956283 Shocking Video: Seeing is Believing!

Our Country's leaders are so blind to what is really going on, so scared of being called racist, so concerned with being politically correct, they have brought to our shores the Islamic terror faced by the Christian’s over in the Islamic countries where it all originates from. Islam is not compatible with western civilisation, and somehow acknowledging that has become something of a racist act. Islam is a 7th century ideology that tells its followers a woman is only worth half a man, that being gay is punishable by death, that rape is an appropriate form of discipline for your wife, alongside beating her and allowing the rape of female slaves. Marriage and sex with minors is also permitted, In fact, it’s encouraged. Sharia law is a barbaric collection of beliefs laws and punishments, many I listed earlier in this article.

The 2001 attacks in America were a wakeup call to many about the enemy we face. Yet sadly for the 15 years that have followed, we don’t seem to have learned all that much. Consider this shocking fact; since that fateful day in September, there have been 30,000 Islamic terror attacks carried out around the world – well, 30,010 to be precise. Consider just a few more of the gory details: in the month of November we had: -231 attacks -2008 killed -3082 injured -27 suicide blasts -29 countries involved Not bad for a month’s work. Not bad for a religion that tries to portray itself as peaceful. Just think about the stats here: There have been 5585 days which have passed since the 9/11 attacks. That means on average every single day since then we have experienced around 5.4 jihadist attacks. Over five attacks every day for 15 years running! Did you get that? All this done in the name of, for the sake of, and by members of, Islam. Just imagine for a moment that during the past 15 years we had 5 Christian terror attacks every single day. Indeed, simply imagine if we had five Christian terror attacks committed altogether in the past 15 years. By now most Western nations would have taken swift and severe action. Inquiries would have been held, the mainstream media would have declared even more war on Christianity, sermons would be closely monitored, and plenty of churches would likely have been closed down. Yet while not one Christian committed an act of religiously-inspired terror this year to my knowledge – or during the past 15 years – we still have the media and the elites hating on Christianity while making every excuse in the book for Islam. https://billmuehlenberg.com/2016/12/30/30000-islamic-terror-attacks/ One step from anarchy - Bizarre: Epidemic of mall brawls spreads across country on day after Christmas December 26, 2016 Numerous skirmishes, fights and altercations were reported across the country on the day after Christmas.

"They are supporting all the terror groups -- the YPG, PYD but also including Daesh (ISIS)," Erdogan charged on Tuesday, using the Arabic acronym for ISIS. "It's quite clear, perfectly obvious," he said, adding that Turkey could provide proof in pictures and video. Erdogan had made a similar claim on a visit to Pakistan in November alleging that "the West stands by Daesh right now" and its weapons were Western-made. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/222393 Is real change coming to Iran? Get ready for March 15, 2017 The hidden Zoroastrians may actually bring about the end of the Ayatollah regime. 12/27/16 On Wednesday, March 15, 2017, the Zoroastrian holiday of Chahar Shanbeh Soori will occur. Zoroastrians all over Iran are planning a "Freedom Holiday" for that date, intending to burst out into the streets in an attempt to overthrow the Ayatollah regime If they are able to get rid of their Muslim rulers, they intend to bring the Shah's son, at present in exile in Europe, back to Iran to assume the leadership of the country like his father, who was deposed at the end of 1978. Can this plan being an end to the Ayatollah regime? It most certainly can, if the Zoroastrians actually all go out to the streets and cause other "outsider" groups, who suffer economically and socially from the unbearable corruption that has taken over government officials, to join them. If the many hidden Zoroastrians who serve in the armed forces turn their weapons on their Muslim colleagues, the army will be paralyzed, and so will the Revolutionary Guard, the Basij militia forces and the branches of Army Intelligence. This will allow the Zoroastrians out in the street to take over the public sphere and force their own agenda upon it. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/19959 80% Stock Market Crash to Strike in 2017, Economist Warns Several noted economists and distinguished investors are warning of a stock market crash. December 23, 2016 Jim Rogers, who founded the Quantum Fund with George Soros, went apocalyptic when he said, “A $68 trillion ‘Biblical’ collapse is poised to wipe out millions of Americans.” Mark Faber, Dr. Doom himself, recently told CNBC that “investors are on the Titanic” and stocks are about to “endure a gut-wrenching drop that would rival the greatest crashes in stock market history.” And the prophetic economist Andrew Smithers warns, “U.S. stocks are now about 80% overvalued.” Smithers backs up his prediction using a ratio which proves that the only time in history stocks were this risky was 1929 and 1999. And we all know what happened next. Stocks fell by 89% and 50%, respectively. Even the Royal Bank of Scotland says the markets are flashing stress alerts akin to the 2008 crisis. They told their clients to “Sell Everything” because “in a crowded hall, the exit doors are small.” But there is one distinct warning that should send chills down your spine … that of James Dale Davidson. Davidson is the famed economist who correctly predicted the collapse of 1999 and 2007. Davidson now warns, “There are three key economic indicators screaming SELL. They don’t imply that a 50% collapse is looming – it’s already at our doorstep.” And if Davidson calls for a 50% market correction, one should pay heed. http://thesovereigninvestor.com/exclusives/80-stock-market-crash-to-strike-in-2016/?z=451509 Berlin attack just the tip of the jihadi iceberg December 20, 2016 The headlines are full of the terror attacks in Berlin and to a degree Jordan but this is just the tip of the jihadi iceberg.

A friend whose goat had recently died offered the horns to group members. Nobody else wanted the dead goat’s hardware; Moonsong couldn’t believe his luck. So he took the horns home, drilled small holes in each one and attached them to his forehead using stretchy, 50-pound fishing line that he wrapped around his head like an invisible skull cap. His life was never the same. Moonsong feels so attached to his horns that he refuses to take them off for anyone — including the state of Maine. In August, Moonsong said, officials at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles in Bangor told him that he would need to remove the horns to receive a state-issued ID. When he tried to explain to bureau employees that he is a “Priest of Pan” — one who considers the horns his “spiritual antenna” — they were not moved. They told that the horns would have to be approved by Maine’s secretary of state. After several months of waiting to hear from the state’s motor vehicle office following his initial visit, he says he informed the bureau that he was in touch with the ACLU. His ID arrived in the mail days later, he says. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2016/12/17/maine-man-wins-right-to-wear-goat-horns-in-license-photo-saying-they-are-religious-attire/?utm_term=.3244b5610cb4 Facial recognition to kick in for 2017 Cameras will soon detect the emotions of a people answering survey questions. That and other facial recognition tech is about to become a lot more important. Dec 19, 2016 Computers fully comprehending things they see in front of them will be the technical advance that takes us to the next level in our digitized world, experts say: “The next leap in computing will be in how we interpret images,” said Jem Davies, an ARM executive at an embedded technology conference recently. “That will be revolutionary,” he said, according to IEEE Spectrum, writing about the processor executive’s talk in the article “Bringing Eyes to the Internet of Things.” One thinks of objects in this context. But a facet to this camera-based artificial intelligence is that computers will also commonly perform facial recognition. Computers will likely become better at recognizing people than humans. Not only that, but they will be better than us at recognizing emotions through facial expressions. Chinese search giant Baidu says its face recognition system is already better at recognizing faces than humans, according to Daily Mail, which wrote about a Chinese tourist town’s facial recognition efforts to track whether tourists have paid to wander around or not. The eye and facial tracking and big data-style analysis can also be used in advertising predictions and medical diagnosis, researchers say. http://www.networkworld.com/article/3150942/software/facial-recognition-to-kick-in-for-2017.html 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 : " for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Israel Getting Ready for Third Temple? Jacob Sheep, Balm of Gilead Return After Thousands of Years December 13, 2016 Jacob sheep are seen returning to Israel and the balm of Gilead is being cultivated again after thousands of years. Could these be signs that Israel is preparing to build the third temple? Jacob sheep, named after the “streaked, speckled and spotted” sheep chosen by Jacob as his wages for years of service for his father-in-law Laban, have returned home to Israel. The first batch of the sheep was flown in on Nov. 30 from Canada, where a Jewish couple had been raising the breed since 2014. Gil and Jenna Lewinsky had a chance meeting with a Jacob heritage farmer in Canada. Upon learning that Jacob sheep were extinct in Israel, the couple decided to raise the breed and bring them back home to where they traced their roots 5,000 years ago. Meanwhile, a farmer named Guy Erlich is cultivating the Balm of Gilead, a plant mentioned in the Bible that is used for worship in the temple. The plant is known to have medicinal properties. It is also used in cosmetics. Is Israel preparing for the third temple? Some groups have been doing a number of preparations, according to Liz Healy, an American who studies the Temple Mount. In an interview with CBN News, she said the Temple Institute has set up a red heifer farm. In the Old Testament times, the red heifer was burned and its ashes mixed with running water. The mixture was then used to purify the Jews so they could enter the temple, Healy explained. “There is a group specifically that has re-established the Levitical priesthood,” Healy said. “They started a school a few months ago and they have a registry for those who are from the Levitical line that they could come and be trained and be ready to do the service in the temple.” http://www.gospelherald.com/articles/68826/20161213/israel-getting-ready-for-third-temple-jacob-sheep-balm-of-gilead-return-after-thousands-of-years.htm#closepopup All eyes on Jerusalem: Judaism's holiness to Muslims is a propaganda myth Though possessing Muslim shrines, including the Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa mosques, the city itself holds no great significance for Islam. 12/19/2016 The media has been abuzz with reports that President-elect Donald Trump intends to honor his pre-election promise to act on the 1995 Jerusalem Embassy Act –– whose implementation has been deferred by six-monthly waivers invoked by successive presidents, most recently last week by President Obama –– and move the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. This clamor and fixation on Jerusalem, quite recent in Muslim history, has led many to conclude that Jerusalem is holy to Islam; therefore any U.S move ahead of a peace settlement is premature. As it happens, however, its a propaganda lie that Jerusalem is holy to Islam or central to Palestinian Arab life. Though possessing Muslim shrines, including the Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa mosques, the city itself holds no great significance for Islam, history shows. Jerusalem is not mentioned even once in the Quran, nor is it the direction in which Muslims turn to pray. References in the Quran and hadith to the ‘farthest mosque,’ in allusion to which the Al Aqsa Mosque is named, and which has sometimes been invoked to connect Islam to Jerusalem since its earliest days, clearly doesn’t refer to a mosque which didn’t exist in Muhammad’s day. It is only under unified Israeli rule since 1967 that the city as a whole has been revitalized, enjoyed stunning growth and also, at last, full freedom of religion for its mosaic of faiths ––precisely what would be threatened by its redivision, as is already obvious in the Christian exodus from Palestinian-controlled Gaza and Bethlehem. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/19926 What a very timely message: the Gospel: Share it! An epidemic of hopelessness December 14, 2016 The health news last week from the federal government was startling. Overall, mortality is up and life expectancy has fallen for the first time since 1993, particularly for Americans under age 65. It appears that the progress in longevity that we have come to expect is reversible. Some of the deaths may be linked to obesity. But experts are also looking at what might be called the hopelessness epidemic – the explosion of drug use and suicide, linked to a number of causes, including economic despair. But that’s not the whole picture. Much of America’s middle-class is now suffering from opioid addictions that some studies trace to uses that began with legal drug prescriptions. Consider that heroin deaths now outnumber gun homicides for the first time, according to the Centers for Disease Control. “The epidemic of deaths involving opioids continues to worsen,” CDC director Tom Frieden said, referring to prescription opioid painkillers such as hydrocodone and oxycodone. “Prescription opioid misuse and use of heroin and illicitly manufactured fentanyl are intertwined and deeply troubling problems.” http://www.jewishaz.com/opinion/an-epidemic-of-hopelessness/article_9a2d59ba-c17f-11e6-b158-7fda17a06d58.html The Third Jihad: Radical Islam's Vision for America A must see documentary concerning the real threat of Islam here in America.

November 28, 2016 The Pakistan-based spiritual leader of Muslims of America (MOA), Sheikh Gilani, told top MOA officials (known as “khalifas”) to order all unarmed members to obtain firearms, licenses and hunting permits in order to resist raids on the group’s approximately 22 compounds that they expect to happen under the Trump Administration. Additional “security” was also called up and assault rifles have been mentioned as desirable. The group now expects the FBI “to reopen its cases against them as a homegrown terrorist organization.” The sources independently stated that members across the country were told of instructions from Sheikh Gilani to “be prepared to fight. You will be tested.” The members believe that President-elect Trump is part of a satanic-Zionist conspiracy to destroy Islam, and that he is fulfilling apocalyptic End Times prophecies. Any action taken against MOA is seen as part of a war on Islam, a situation that permits violent jihad. The preparations for armed confrontation are described as “self-defense measures,” but one source cautioned that the group could decide to take “offensive” action if it believes armed conflict is imminent. https://www.clarionproject.org/analysis/american-islamist-group-preps-jihad-against-trump Israel on Fire: Arab Social Media Hate Rages On: ‘Allah, Make Sure Petrol Falls On Israel Instead Of Rain’ November 29, 2016 Two of the most popular hashtags currently trending on Arab social media are #Zionist_entity_burns and #Israel_on_fire, as a significant volume of users rejoiced in the wake of a string of forest fires striking Israel this week, some of which were reportedly sparked by arsonists. “#Zionist_entity_burns on the anniversary of the martyrdom, on 24 November 1989, of Sheikh Abdullah Azzam.

But the Muslim rate is rising. Most of the Muslims here are from Bangladesh,” stated the finance minister from Assam, . “If this continues, the Assamese Hindus will become a minority soon. We will lose our language, our culture, our identity.” Perhaps the biggest factor in this effort is the fear that radicalized Muslims involved in terrorist organizations, such as the local affiliate of the Islamic State group, may be attempting to gain access to the country by posing as ordinary immigrants or asylum-seeking refugees, a tactic that has been seen throughout the Middle East, Europe and even the United States. Aside from fence construction and security efforts along the border region, India is also working to register immigrants from Bangladesh in Assam and other locations, in the process discovering millions who have entered illegally and obtained fraudulent documents by which they have been able to vote and buy land. If this sounds similar to Trump’s stated goal of detecting and deporting potentially dangerous illegal immigrants in America and instituting “extreme vetting” for those coming from locales with known terrorist activity, that’s because it is. http://conservativetribune.com/muslim-illegal-aliens-india-news/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=PostUp&utm_campaign=CTDailyEmail&utm_content=2016-11-28 MUSLIM REFUGEE BRINGS JIHAD TERROR TO OHIO STATE And the Left uses it to call for…gun control. November 29, 2016 Ohio State University student Abdul Razak Ali Artan on Monday morning set off a fire alarm on campus, the drove his car into the crowd of students evacuating the building. Then he jumped out of his car and began stabbing people with a butcher knife. In a departure from the usual denial and obfuscation, Columbus Police Chief Kim Jacobs was refreshingly honest, saying: “I think we have to consider that it is” a terror attack. Leftists took advantage of the occasion to call for gun control, which might have been a cogent argument were it not for one inconvenient detail: Artan didn’t have a gun. But above all, Artan was a “refugee”: the attack vindicates President-elect Trump on Muslim immigration. Artan was no poster boy for gun control, but he may have been one for the Islamic State, which issued this call: If you can kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be….If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies.

Israel Officially Calling for Third Temple to Replace al-Aqsa Mosque!(Video) November 23, 2016 It is only a matter of time now. The Israel Minister of Housing and Construction Uri Ariel on Friday expressed his wish to see the construction of a “Third Temple” in place of the Al-Aqsa Mosque that is currently occupying the Temple Mount. Uri Ariel said “The first Temple was destroyed in 586 BCE, the second Temple in 70 CE, and ever since, the Jewish People have been mourning its loss.” He then went on to say “Al-Aqsa Mosque is currently in the place of the temple, despite the temple being much holier than it. Al-Aqsa Mosque is only the third most holy mosque in Islam.” “Now that Israel has once again become a Jewish sovereign state, the desire to rebuild the Temple is growing stronger and stronger” he added. http://www.israelvideonetwork.com/finally-israel-officially-calling-for-third-temple-to-replace-al-aqsa-mosque/ America and the World in Transition November 23, 2016 Trump will be greeted by an inbox piled high with difficult international challenges. To be sure, no single problem compares with the Cold War at its height, but the sheer number and complexity of difficult issues is without precedent in modern times. Topping the list will be the Middle East, a region in an advanced stage of unraveling. Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Libya are all dealing with a mix of civil and proxy wars. The Iran nuclear pact at best manages one aspect of Iranian power, and only for a limited duration. The Islamic State (ISIS) may lose its territorial dimension; but it, along with other groups, will continue to pose a terrorist threat for years to come. The plight of millions of refugees constitutes not just a humanitarian tragedy, but also an economic and strategic burden to countries in the region and in Europe. And Europe is already confronting many significant challenges, including Russian aggression against Ukraine, Brexit, the rise of populism and nationalism, and low rates of economic growth. Turkey poses a special problem given its increasing illiberalism at home and mercurial behavior abroad. The fact that Syria’s Kurds have proven to be America’s best partner against ISIS adds to the complexity of the foreign policy choices that await. East Asia’s stability is jeopardized by China’s rise and strategic ambitions, North Korea’s nuclear and ballistic missile advances, and a host of contested maritime and territorial claims. In South Asia, there is renewed tension between India and Pakistan, two nuclear-armed rivals with a history of conflict. Just as uncertain is the future of Afghanistan, where more than a decade of international involvement and assistance has failed to bring about a capable government or quell the Taliban and other armed opposition groups. Closer to home, oil-rich Venezuela has many of the characteristics of a failed state. In Africa, too, a mix of poor governance, low economic growth, and terrorism, civil war, or both is overwhelming many countries. And at the global level, few if any rules or penalties for reckless behavior apply in important domains (cyberspace being paramount among them).

In Defense of Multiculturalism Today thousands of supplicants come regularly to this grotto to burn incense and pray before one of the brightly painted plaster images-or to sit, as we did, beneath the huge, blossomed trees to honor the memory of their ancestors. Overlooking this temple complex and dotting the lush hillsides surrounding Semarang are dozens of smaller communities populated by simple farming families. Many of the villagers plant and harvest their crops under the watchful eye of Dewi Sri, the rice goddess, or annually carry orchid offerings to the rocky, southern coastline to placate the jealous Goddess of the South Sea. Not far from these traditional folk religionists are located two of the ancient wonders of Javanese religious life: Borobudur, the largest Buddhist temple in the world, and its magnificent Hindu counterpart, Prambanan-each a noble testament to the Hindu-Buddhist kingdoms that flourished in Central Java more than 1200 years ago. Late one balmy night in May, Janie and I watched as saffron-robed monks led a candlelit processional of worshipers up the winding pathway of Borobudur to commemorate the Buddha's birth. On another occasion, under a full moon, we sat listening to the gongs and clangs of percussion instruments as hundreds of Javanese dancers enacted stories from the Hindu Ramayana on the hand-carved stone terraces of Prambanan. Living amid these treasures of religious antiquity, among peoples who practice such disparate rituals but with similar dedication, gave us an appreciation for the rich cultural diversity in the world.

Donald Trump won’t want anything to do with the parade since the group is a Ku Klux Klan hate group. As of February, 2016 there were 190 groups of KKK in the nation. Active hate groups had risen from 784 to 892 in 2015 according to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Law enforcement agencies submitted incident reports to the FBI for the year 2015, involving 5,850 criminal incidents and 6,885 related offenses as being motivated by bias toward race, ethnicity, ancestry, religion, sexual orientation, disability, gender and gender identity. “There were 5,818 single-bias incidents involving 7,121 victims” in 2015, according to the FBI. A percent distribution of victims by bias type showed that 59.2 percent of victims were targeted because of the offenders’ race/ethnicity/ancestry bias; 19.7 percent were targeted because of the offenders’ religious bias, and 17.7 percent were victimized due to the offenders’ sexual-orientation bias. Victims targeted due to the offenders’ bias against gender identity accounted for 1.7 percent of victims of single-bias incidents; disabilities, 1.2 percent; and gender, 0.4 percent. (Due to rounding, percentage breakdowns may not add to 100 percent.) Thirty-two multiple-bias hate crime incidents involved 52 victims. There were 4,482 hate crime offenses or crimes against persons in 2015 as follows: Intimidation, 41.3 percent; simple assault 37.8 percent; aggravated assault 19.7 percent; and 18 percent murders; and 13 percent rapes. Of 2,338 hate crimes against property the majority were acts of destruction/ damage/ vandalism. Sixty-five ercent additional offenses were crimes against society. This crime category represents society’s prohibition against engaging in certain types of activity such as gambling, prostitution and drug violations. These are typically victimless crimes in which property is not the object. http://www.qconline.com/opinion/columnists/marlene_gantt/hate-groups-crimes-alive-and-well-in-u-s/article_0ff07855-2344-5474-a56b-ebfa4cad9780.html HID Global announces one of the world’s most secure Citizen ID Cards “Our OSM cards have set the standard for combining visual, digital and physical security while delivering the highest levels of card durability,” said Rob Haslam, VP and Managing Director, Government ID Solutions with HID Global. “There has been no known instance of a successful attempt to compromise OSM technology’s digital security, and now we’re helping to fuel the future of even more secure citizen identification by including a contactless RFID microcontroller chip into these proven OSM cards.” HID Global’s OSM Multitech cards can be used for applications ranging from national and resident alien IDs to health benefit, public welfare and Social Security cards, as well as driver’s licenses, gun permits and a wide range of other identification cards.

We have a cell here in Minneapolis.” NOVEMBER 21, 2016 “Everyone talks about Brussels or Paris having cells. We have a cell here in Minneapolis.” Davis said that “six to 10” jihad supporters had attended previous hearings and noted that “some defendants gave them signals.” Two defendants, Mohamed Farah and Abdirahman Daud, “flashed index fingers pointed upward as they faced the gallery on their way out, an apparent symbol of ‘tawhid’ that symbolizes an Islamic concept of ‘oneness of God’ but is also a popular symbol used by ISIL supporters.” What was happening was clear to anyone who is informed, but so few people are. Kudos to Judge Davis for telling it like it is. Davis described the cell’s size as being between nine to 20, including those sentenced last week and others killed abroad. Later in the week, he raised eyebrows in the courtroom by telling one defendant that he noted “six to 10” supporters who attended previous hearings and insisted that “some defendants gave them signals. I know they’re out there,” Davis said. “The community knows they’re out there.” https://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/11/u-s-district-judge-everyone-talks-about-brussels-or-paris-having-cells-we-have-a-cell-here-in-minneapolis Under the Dome – Investigating China’s Smog (Shocking Documentary) Former celebrity TV anchor Chai Jing quit her job after her baby daughter was born with a lung tumor, and after a year of rigorous investigation, launched this 1 hour 40 minute documentary about China’s smog: what is smog?

He has repeatedly urged the U.S. to help Israel bomb Iran or do it alone. Even as Iran was in the final stages of negotiating an international agreement that requires it to dramatically scale back its nuclear infrastructure, Bolton recommended a military attack. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/john-bolton-regime-change-iran-secretary-of-state_us_582df81be4b030997bbe0d67?zq1wnrk9 India's currency swap sets off endless lines of frustration November 16, 2016 Last week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced in a surprise nighttime TV address that all 500- and 1,000-rupee notes, worth about $7.50 and $15, would be withdrawn immediately from circulation, a move designed to fight corruption and target people who have been dodging taxes by holding immense stockpiles of cash, known in India as "black money." In a nation hobbled by corruption, and where less than 3 percent of people file tax returns, the plan at first earned widespread approval. But as the days ticked by, it became increasingly clear that the government was ill-prepared for a plan that suddenly pulled 86 percent of the country's money supply out of circulation. Families began hoarding small-denomination currency, merchants reported plummeting business and salaries went unpaid. Many businesses were refusing to accept the only new note rushed into circulation, worth 2,000 rupees, because they were unable to make change for it. The government says it's also trying to get new 500-rupee bills into circulation, but they remain rarities. Overwhelmed banks had no reliable way to ensure that people didn't line up more than once, so on Tuesday, the government announced that banks would begin using indelible ink to mark the fingers of people swapping scrapped currency notes. India uses the same system during elections, to stop people from voting repeatedly. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/11/16/india-currency-swap-sets-off-endless-lines-frustration.html Donald Trump let the painful truth slip out… (GRAPHIC CONTENT) November 9, 2016 (Video) You may pity the freezing snake but eventually it is going to bite (it always does).

Ibrahim Raisi, Iran’s probable next supreme leader, could be the only person in the Islamic Republic who could cause people to miss Khamenei. Raisi is 56 years old and, like Khamenei, hails from the city of Mashhad. After a stint in the seminary, he has spent his entire career in the Islamic Republic’s enforcement arm, serving as prosecutor general, head of the General Inspection Office and lead prosecutor of the Special Court of the Clergy, which is responsible for disciplining mullahs who stray from the official line. In one of his most notorious acts, he served as a member of the “Death Commission” that, in the summer of 1988, oversaw the massacre of thousands of political prisoners on trumped-up charges. Khamenei and the Guards appreciate that the next supreme leader will assume power in a precarious time. This leader has to share their penchant for conspiracy theories, demonstrate contempt for the West and be prepared to shed blood on behalf of the regime. The next supreme leader has to not only believe in the theocracy’s mission of repression but also have been an integral part of that machinery. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/irans-likely-next-supreme-leader-is-no-friend-of-the-west/2016/09/26/eb3becc0-79fb-11e6-bd86-b7bbd53d2b5d_story.html?utm_term=.7b01f7667bbd The Parliament of the World’s Religions Celebrates Entry Into Force of the Paris Climate Agreement 11. 04. 2016 Today, November 4, 2016, the world celebrates the “entry into force” of the historic Paris Climate agreement reached by 196 parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) last December in Paris at the COP21 conference. On behalf of the tens of thousands of participants in the Parliament of the World’s Religions committed to climate action around the globe, we express our gratitude to all who have participated in achieving this critically important step and pledge ourselves to the important work yet to come.

This isn’t the stuff of fringe conspiracy theory lunatics. This bombshell connection between top Clinton aides and the occult is very real — and it’s taking the internet by storm. The email reveals that Podesta, a close aide of the Clinton family, appears to have attended a “Spirit Cooking” dinner with his brother and their wives, hosted by an extreme occult performance artist named Marina Abramovic. https://thehornnews.com/wikileaks-clinton-camp-linked-satanism/?onfile=1 U.N Plan to Turn the World into an Islamic Colony? November 2, 2016 When the news arrived that UNESCO does not recognize the connection of the Jewish people to Jerusalem's Temple Mount, it brought to mind that the UN is the mothership of injustice and radical global Islamization. Its members, which include the large bloc of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) -- 56 Islamic nations plus "Palestine" -- evidently believe that if they want to transform the Western world into an Islamic colony, first they must bring down the State of Israel. If Jerusalem falls into the hands of Islam, the rest of the world will presumably fall. UNESCO's decision is not only nonsensical from a historical perspective (Islam did not even exist at the time of ancient Jerusalem), basically it is also a strategic move against the cultural foundations of the West. https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/9242/un-islamic-colony Welcome to the Islamic State of Germany (Video) October 31, 2016 Germany is not what it once was.

Back in May, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei hammered the US for its schemes against Iran’s military presence in the Persian Gulf and made it clear that the Islamic Republic will continue to demonstrate power at its home, the Persian Gulf. “The Persian Gulf is the Iranian nation’s home ..., and the coasts of the Persian Gulf and large parts of the Sea of Oman coasts belong to this strong nation,” Imam Khamenei said at the time, adding, “Today, the enemies are biting off more than they can chew. For example, they draw plans that Iran should not hold military war games in the Persian Gulf.” http://www.tasnimnews.com/en/news/2016/10/26/1222606/irgc-most-powerful-armed-force-in-middle-east-commander US Faces Growing Worldwide Wrath: Iranian Cleric October, 28, 2016 37 years after victory of the Islamic Revolution, when only the Iranian nation rose against the US tyranny, people in other countries such as Iraq, Bahrain, Yemen and Syria are now filled with anger at the US criminal acts that are carried out by mercenaries in their countries, Ayatollah Mohammad Emami Kashani told worshippers at Friday Prayers in Tehran. “The wrath (at the US) has become global,” the cleric added, saying Washington and the Zionist regime of Israel are behind the atrocities against Muslim nations. http://www.tasnimnews.com/en/news/2016/10/28/1224340/us-faces-growing-worldwide-wrath-iranian-cleric The Awesome Video that will make a Muslim Apologists’ head Explode October 26, 2016 David Wood has some excellent description of worldwide Islamic activities based on the Koran and Muslim theological sources. International current affairs perfectly match his theory of a three part Jihad going on in every country where there are Arabs. What is hard to understand is why almost all of world leadership, the European Union, the president of the United States, the UN, Great Britain and others just don’t get it. They fail to read the writing on the wall, and it’s been etched there since the beginnings of Islam in Mecca. Wood is correct in his appraisal of the situation. It is up to the rest of us to help the world wake up and understand what is going on under our noses.

Walsh, a Seventh-day Adventist lay minister had been hired in May 2014 by as a District Health Director with the Georgia Department of Public Health. A week later, a government official asked him to submit copies of his sermons for review. He complied and two days later he was fired. “No government has the right to require a pastor to turn over his sermons,” Walsh said. “I cannot and will not give up my sermons unless I am forced to do so. He was fired for something he said in a sermon,” attorney Jeremy Dys told me. “If the government is allowed to fire someone over what he said in his sermons, they can come after any of us for our beliefs on anything.” “A new era has come to our shores, a time where government finds it acceptable to suppress the freedom of religion even to the extent of requesting a minister’s sermons,” Caner said. “As an ordained minister, I know that this is not merely an assault on the messenger, but on the very message of our Sacred Scriptures.” Caner correctly noted that the government seems to exclusively target one faith – biblical Christianity. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2016/10/26/state-georgia-demands-pastor-turn-over-sermons.html Video: Robert Spencer on Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, and why jihadis are fighting us OCTOBER 26, 2016 In this new video (4:45minutes), Robert explains why jihadis are really fighting us and explode Hillary Clinton’s false analysis of this question. https://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/10/video-robert-spencer-on-hillary-clinton-donald-trump-and-why-jihadis-are-fighting-us Astronomers believe strange new signals coming from space are probably aliens (Video) October 26th, 2016 Aliens beyond planet Earth exist and are trying to communicate with others.

An analysis of 2.5 million stars that researchers have been watching has revealed 234 stars giving off "strange modulations" that suggest their origins are likely caused by an alien species, rather than natural causes. http://www.aol.com/article/news/2016/10/26/astronomers-signals-space-alien-lifeforms-communicate-earth/21592195/ As the U.N. ignores Jewish ties to the Temple Mount, this completely proves them wrong The United Nations, via UNESCO, just made a horrific “decision” saying that the Temple Mount has no connection to the Jewish people, rather it’s a Muslim site!

They said that the discovery, made last winter during an excavation of a construction site for the new campus of the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design outside the Old City, also finally confirmed the description of the wall that was breached provided by the historian Josephus Flavius. During the dig, the archaeologists found the remains of a tower surrounded by scores of stones and boulders fired by Roman catapults at the Jewish forces guarding the wall, the Israel Antiquities Authority said in a statement. “This is a fascinating testimony of the intensive bombardment by the Roman army, led by Titus, on their way to conquering the city and destroying the Second Temple,” the statement said. http://www.timesofisrael.com/archaeologists-find-battle-site-where-romans-breached-jerusalem-walls/?utm_source=The+Times+of+Israel+Daily+Edition&utm_campaign=6add98b6b1-2016_10_20&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_adb46cec92-6add98b6b1-54606857 After School Satan? Church-state group plays devil’s advocate in public schools (Video) October 18, 2016 Lucien Greaves is the Good News Club’s worst nightmare. Greaves is co-founder of the Satanic Temple, a group dedicated to church-state separation. And his organization’s latest campaign in launching after-school clubs for children, Greaves told RNS before a recent talk in Kansas City, is not so much about indoctrinating children into Satanism — he doesn’t actually believe in the devil as a real being, much less one to be worshipped. Rather, the After School Satan clubs, as they are called, are about making a statement against the government providing facilities exclusively for Christian after-school programs such as the Good News Club. A side benefit is that the publicity surrounding the After School Satan clubs is likely to bring far more attention — and maybe public understanding — to the Satanic Temple than anything else the group could do. “People miss that the self-identified Satanist isn’t merely doing this for the shock value that it provokes among Christians – it very much is a personal statement, a personal declaration of independence against those things they feel oppressed by,” Lucien said. http://religionnews.com/2016/10/18/after-school-satan-church-state-group-plays-devils-advocate-in-public-schools/ Exorcist Watched Possessed Woman Vomit Metal Pins, Says Young Priests Now 'Too Scared' of Job October 18, 2016 A senior Roman Catholic exorcist has said the ritual of ridding people of demonic possession is sometimes too scary for young priests, and remarked that the atrocities carried out by the Islamic State terror group serve as proof that the devil is real. Father Vincenzo Taraborelli, a 79-year-old priest from Rome who has been performing exorcisms for the past 27 years, told BBC News that he knows there are those who do not believe in evil spirits, but one only needs to look at the state of the world today to become a believer. Taraborelli shared with the BBC the process he goes through to get ready to perform exorcisms, following Catholic ritual, and talked about some of his most notable cases, such as a married woman whom he treated for 13 years. "Another man, who was a satanist, wanted her," the priest said. "She refused. So this man told her: 'You'll pay for this.' He cast so-called spells to attract her to him, twice a week.Then they came to me, in this room. I started to pray, and she went into a trance. She would blurt out insults, blasphemies. I quickly understood she was possessed, As the rite continued, she started feeling worse and worse. So when I told the devil: 'In the name of Jesus, I order you to go away,' she started to vomit little metal pins, five at a time " he said. "Aside from pins she would also vomit hair braids, little stones, pieces of wood. It sounds like something from another world, right? Instead, it's something from this world." http://www.christianpost.com/news/exorcist-watched-possessed-woman-vomit-metal-pins-young-priests-too-scared-of-job-170941/#VprKKf13w8DMPp5y.99 Australia Becomes First Country To Begin Microchipping Its Population. RFID Implants in the Human Body October 2016 Under the headline ‘Australians embracing super-human microchip technology’, Australia’s premier media outlet news.com.au (News Corp Australia) reports: “It may sound like sci-fi, but hundreds of Australians are turning themselves into super-humans who can unlock doors, turn on lights and log into computers with a wave of the hand.” Shanti Korporaal, from Sydney, is at the centre of the phenomenon after having two implants inserted under her skin. Now she can get into work and her car without carrying a card or keys, and says her ultimate goal is to completely do away with her wallet and cards. She reports: “You could set up your life so you never have to worry about any password or PINs it’s the same technology as Paypass, so I’m hoping you’ll be able to pay for things with it. With Opal you get a unique identification number that could be programmed into the chip. Any door with a swipe card … it could open your computer, photocopier. Loyalty cards for shops are just another thing for your wallet.” Amal Graafstra, who became one of the world first RFID implantees back in 2005, just made headlines recently in a prototype of the world’s first implant-activated smart gun and is a huge proponent for this new technology. In an interview with the Australian media outlet, Amal explained that the technology he has implanted into his body has “given me the ability to communicate with machines. It’s literally integrated into who I am.” Shanti has bought into the culture that dominates society today, which is one dominated by the fantasy of super heroes that mesmerizes the population at theaters all across the globe. “Ever since watching movies like the Terminator, Matrix and Minority Report I wondered if we could actually live like that. I always wondered why we all weren’t living as ‘super-humans.” http://www.globalresearch.ca/australia-becomes-first-country-to-begin-microchipping-its-population-rfid-implants-in-the-human-body/5549286 Red Alert: UN Weapons Enforcement Vehicle Seen!

While she stands on the threshold of being elected to the White House, she quite literally belongs in a prison cell. This article lays out the case against her, chapter and verse Even during Clinton’s tenure (2009-13) as secretary of state, the Clinton Foundation received millions of dollars in donations from seven foreign governments. Bill Clinton earned a total of $48 million from foreign sources for his appearance and speaking fees during his wife’s term as secretary. In August 2016, the Associated Press reported that 85 of Hillary Clinton’s 154 scheduled meetings and phone calls with non-governmental personnel during her time at the State Department were with donors who gave $156 million to the Clinton Foundation. The AP report also revealed that the Clinton Foundation had received $170 million in donations from at least 16 foreign governments whose representatives met personally with Mrs. Clinton. ISIS, which evolved out of Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), grew into the most powerful, well-funded horde of bloodthirsty barbarians in world history, right under Mrs. Clinton’s nose, and precisely during her watch as secretary of state. While ISIS launched its campaign of mass rapes, beheadings, slaughters, and tortures of unimaginable brutality — and gained control over enormous portions of Iraq and Syria — Clinton and President Obama did absolutely nothing to thwart it. Moreover, the rise of ISIS coincided with the expansion of terrorism to unprecedented levels all over the world. According to the Global Terrorism Index, fatalities caused by terrorism increased from 3,361 in 2000, to 11,133 in 2012, to 18,111 in 2013, to 32,658 in 2014. More than half of the 2014 killings were carried out by ISIS and Boko Haram, the latter of which has pledged allegiance to ISIS. In other words, worldwide terrorism has spiraled out of control under Obama, Clinton, and Clinton’s successor, John Kerry.

Barely acknowledged by the Western media. both Russia and America are “rearming” their nuclear weapons systems. While the US is committed to a multibillion dollar modernization project, Russia is largely involved in a “cost-effective” restructuring process which consists in decommissioning parts of its land-based ICBM arsenal (Topol) and replacing it with the more advanced Yars RS-24 system, developed in 2007. While a new arms race has “unofficially” been launched, the US modernization process pertains to the all three legs of the triad system, -i.e land based airborne and submarine launched atomic missiles. It is also coupled with the development of the B61-12 tactical bomb to be deployed in Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium and Turkey. Rest assured, the B61-12 is a “mini-nuke” with an explosive capacity of up to four Hiroshima bombs. It is categorized as a “defensive” (peace-making) weapon for use in the conventional war theater. According to scientists on contract to the Pentagon, the B61-11 and 12 (bunker buster bombs with nuclear warheads) are “harmless to civilians because the explosion is underground” http://www.globalresearch.ca/dangerous-crossroads-both-russia-and-america-prepare-for-nuclear-war/5548074 The Muslim Brotherhood Plan for America This is scary stuff.

Is this the same Obama who declared, “I have said repeatedly and I will say it today, we are not taking any options off the table, because it’s my firm belief that an Iran with a nuclear weapon would pose a security threat not only to the region but also to the United States.”? What could happen if Iran does indeed develop a nuclear weapon is depicted in all it’s gruesome glory in this chilling video, put out by the Clarion Project. The ramifications of Iran creating a nuclear weapon are unthinkable. What was Obama thinking? http://www.israelvideonetwork.com/if-this-wont-help-you-understand-why-the-deal-with-iran-is-bad-nothing-will/ Border Crisis: Illegal Crossings May Be Far Higher Than Official Numbers Head of border patrol union says government has been 'lying to the American people' 10 Oct 2016 The Associated Press said last week that the report, which has not yet been made public, estimates that 54 percent of the roughly 315,000 people trying to cross the border in fiscal year 2015 succeeded. That is significantly worse than the 81 percent success rate in stopping illegal border crossings that the government officially claims. The study’s authors did not count people who turned themselves in and then immediately applied for asylum. That number was 140,000 last year, up from 20,000 a decade ago. “We’ve refuted those numbers forever,” he said. “Being an agent myself, I know those numbers just aren’t true … It’s just disappointing that they’ve been lying to the American people for so long.” Much more numerous, Judd said, are illegal immigrants who are apprehended and released with notices to appear for a hearing before an immigration judge — only to disappear into the interior of the country. He said as many as 80 percent fail to show for court hearings to adjudicate their legal residency status. Judd said the share of illegal immigrants who make it to America probably is closer to 75 percent when counting illegal immigrants who abscond or are simply allowed to go free without even getting a notice to appear. http://www.lifezette.com/polizette/half-illegal-border-crossings-may-successful/ Obama admits 12,587 Syrian refugees: 12,486 Muslims, 68 Christians, 24 Yazidis OCTOBER 4, 2016 The administration admitted a total of 12,587 Syrian refugees during the just-ended fiscal year, exceeding the target President Obama declared last fall by 2,587 (20.5 percent). Of the 12,587, the vast majority are Sunni Muslims – 12,363 (98.2 percent) – while another 103 are identified in State Department Refugee Processing Center data simply as Muslims and a further 20 as Shi’a Muslims. Sixty-eight of the 12,587 Syrian refugees (0.5 percent) are Christians. They comprise 16 Catholics, eight Orthodox, five Protestants, four Jehovah’s Witnesses, one Greek Orthodox, and 34 refugees self-identified simply as Christians. The remainder of the Syrian refugees resettled in the U.S. in FY 2016 are 24 Yazidis, eight refugees with religion given as “other,” and one with “no religion.” https://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/10/obama-admits-12587-syrian-refugees-12486-muslims-68-christians-24-yazidis US-NATO’s War on Russia: The Winds Howl before the Storm "John Lennon made our fundamental demand, “Give Peace a Chance,” and the CIA shot him in the back" October 05, 2016 The invasion of Syria by their direct forces and ISIS proxy forces under various names, and now it appears Turkish forces, has killed hundreds of thousands of people. While Syria, Russia, Iran and others try to find a peaceful conclusion to the war, the Americans and their gang, perpetually dishonest, talk cease-fire from one side of their face, as, from the other, they give orders to attack. The Americans seem hell bent on war and the up-coming elections in the US hold no hope for the future, only more despair. The Russians and the rest of the world are faced with Godzilla, the monster that threatened Japan in several science fiction films made in the 50’s. Those films were cleverly disguised political attacks on the United States and its destruction and occupation of Japan. America was the monster that was born in the mushroom cloud over Hiroshima. It was the monster threatening to destroy everything in its path. Nothing could seem to stop Godzilla, except of course nuclear weapons. And this is where we are; the Russian government trying everything it can think of to avoid that catastrophe while the Americans keep pushing them and all of us, into a corner there is only one escape from. http://www.globalresearch.ca/us-natos-war-on-russia-the-winds-howl-before-the-storm/5549472 Why do we allow this in our Country? Maryland Imam Tests Limits of Free Speech by Praising ISIS Beheadings Oct 5, 2016 A Muslim cleric in Maryland, who has openly endorsed the Islamic State terror group and funded at least one Muslim convert who was arrested for buying illegal explosives, has not been charged or arrested because, according to authorities, he hasn't broken any laws.

Leaked documents with sensitive FBI data exclusively obtained by Breitbart Texas reveal that 7,712 terrorist encounters occurred within the United States in one year and that many of those encounters occurred near the U.S.-Mexico border. The incidents are characterized as “Known or Suspected Terrorist Encounters.” Some of the encounters occurred near the U.S.-Mexico border at ports-of-entry and some occurred in between, indicating that persons known or reasonably suspected of being terrorists attempted to sneak into the U.S. across the border. In all, the encounters occurred in higher numbers in border states. In one of the states, the majority of encounters in Arizona were with Islamic known or suspected terrorists, both Sunni and Shi’a. Eighty-nine encounters were Sunni, 56 were Shi’a, 70 were “Other International Terrorist Groups or Affiliates,” and only 52 were with “Domestic Terrorism.” https://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/09/leaked-fbi-data-reveal-7700-terrorist-encounters-in-usa-in-one-year The Ministry of Bam Bam Bam (Bullying, Yelling and Violence) The words of Jesus are very clear.

Now I know that hearing that from me must surely come as a surprise, because year after year I’ve stood at this very podium and slammed the UN for its obsessive bias against Israel. And the UN deserved every scathing word – for the disgrace of the General Assembly that last year passed 20 resolutions against the democratic State of Israel and a grand total of three resolutions against all the other countries on the planet. Israel – twenty; rest of the world – three.” And this circus continues at UNESCO. UNESCO, the UN body charged with preserving world heritage. Now, this is hard to believe but UNESCO just denied the 4,000-year connection between the Jewish people and its holiest site, the Temple Mount. That’s just as absurd as denying the connection between the Great Wall of China and China. We will not accept any attempt by the UN to dictate terms to Israel. The road to peace runs through Jerusalem and Ramallah, not through New York. Why keep vilifying Israel? Perhaps because some of you don’t appreciate that the obsessive bias against Israel is not just a problem for my country, it’s a problem for your countries too. Because if the UN spends so much time condemning the only liberal democracy in the Middle East, it has far less time to address war, disease, poverty, climate change and all the other serious problems that plague the planet. http://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahus-full-remarks-at-un-general-assembly/ Palestinian Author : We Can Sacrifice 1-2 Million Arabs a Year to Liberate Palestine from Israel (Video) “There can be only one state and not two.

That is because he doesn’t need a key anymore—he simply unlocks the door with a wave of his hand. The 32-year-old IT expert from the Dutch city of Heerlen is one of a growing number of people with electronic implants under their skin, mostly to use as keys or for identification. Mr. Paumen says the tiny devices simplify his life. When nearing the secure office parking lot, he says, “I just roll down the window, stick my arm out and let the reader at the gates scan the implant, which is just below my little finger. I don’t have to worry about losing my access card.” There is no comprehensive data on how many people have RFID implants in their bodies, but retailers estimate the total is 30,000 to 50,000 people globally. The fact that the tags can’t be lost is one attraction. Another, users say, is that the tags don’t operate under their own power but rather are activated when they’re read by a scanner. That means they can never be rendered useless by a dead battery like smartphones. It only takes a few seconds to inject the small glass cylinder containing a tag, the size of a grain of rice, under the skin. It can be done by anyone, but proponents say it is best done by a trained person with sterilized equipment to lower the risk of infection. http://www.wsj.com/articles/when-information-storage-gets-under-your-skin-1474251062 ISIS Video Features Children Who Aspire To Martyrdom, Says They Are Being Prepared To Conquer Rome, Spain (WARNING: GRAPHIC) September 16, 2016 An Islamic State (ISIS) video released online on September 6, 2016 showcased a shari'a school that it operates in its Al-Khayr Province, featuring its young pupils – "the cubs of the Caliphate" – discussing their aspirations of martyrdom, instructing citizens on approved clothing and grooming, and fighting on the front lines.

U.S. concessions allowing Iran to enrich uranium, develop advanced enrichment centrifuges, and operate a plutonium-producing heavy-water reactor while the JCPOA is in effect not only threatens the security of the Middle East by enabling an Iranian nuclear weapons program, but also harms global nuclear nonproliferation efforts by undermining key nonproliferation principles, to lead other states to pursue uranium enrichment, heavy-water reactors and plutonium separation facilities. The main reason everyone agrees that Iran cannot be trusted is that it has consistently chosen not to keep previous international agreements. It has, most relevantly, ignored its obligations under the Non Proliferation Treaty, and consistently denied reasonable requests for access and information by inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency. That's why supporters of the agreement are quick to say that it is not based on trust of Iran but on the pact's verification provisions. But when you look at those provisions, it is clear that they are full of holes big enough to drive a covert nuclear weapons program through. https://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/ObamaBomb_FINAL_07-12-16.pdf http://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/2016/07/25/book-release-obamabomb-a-dangerous-and-growing-national-security-threat/ IRAN’S DESERT OF HATE A water-starved country can’t turn to the one country that could help.

New York arrests more than 3,800 using facial recognition in DMV 29 August, 2016 Since the facial recognition technology was implemented in 2010, more than 3,800 individuals have been arrested for possessing multiple licenses. Additionally, more than 10,800 facial recognition cases have been solved administratively, without the need for an arrest. If the transactions are too old to pursue criminal prosecution, DMV is still able to hold subjects accountable by revoking licenses and moving all tickets, convictions, and crashes to the individual’s true record. Nearly half of those arrested by DMV investigators are accused of using a stolen identity to obtain a license when their original license under their true name was suspended or revoked. The facial recognition system, which was upgraded in January combats identity theft and fraud, and is designed to remove high-risk drivers from the road. The system New York upgraded to doubles the number of measurement points mapped to each digitized driver photograph to improve the system’s ability to match a photograph to one that already exists in DMV’s database. The new system increases the number of measurement points on the face from 64 to 128. The system also enables the ability to overlay images, invert colors, and convert images to black and white to better see scars and identifying features on the face. Different hairstyles, glasses, and other features that change over time – including those that evolve as a subject ages – do not prevent the system from matching photographs. http://www.secureidnews.com/news-item/new-york-arrests-more-than-3800-using-facial-recognition-in-dmv/ More Than 300 Reindeer Killed by Freak Lightning Strike in Norway (Video) A reindeer mass death has scientists in Norway scratching their heads.

You can find easily find everything you need, and plenty that you don’t. You might even ignore those around you warning you to stock up on food while you still can. In fact, they might seem like Chicken Little desperately calling out, “The sky is falling!” But don’t let the full shelves fool you. While the sky may not actually be falling, the world is facing a food shortage. It’s only a matter of time until it hits. Until then, the government wants you to keep walking into the stores, feeling like everything is fine. The world’s food situation is not fine.

Known as the "After School Satan Club," the group's creation comes in response to the Christian Good News Club that meets at public schools throughout the nation. Douglas Mesner, spokesperson and co-founder of The Satanic Temple who goes by the name Lucien Greaves, told The Christian Post that the Christian clubs being at public schools "created the need for a counter-balance in the extracurricular options." Graves claimed that "While the Good News Clubs teach children shame, guilt, and fear — that they will die and be tormented in Hell — the After School Satan Clubs will focus on art projects and education with no religious opinion inserted." http://www.christianpost.com/news/satanic-temple-launches-after-school-satan-club-in-schools-nationwide-to-counter-christian-groups-167332/#8Jz1cgVcDgfVczjI.99 Pope equates capitalism with terrorism "When you place at the center of the world economy the 'God of Money,' that's terrorism against all humanity." 8/1/2016 In an interview on his flight back from World Youth Day in Poland, where he also visited the Auschwitz death camp, Pope Francis related to the issues of terrorism and capitalism in the world today, even implying a comparison between the two, as reported by NBC News. He said that it is "unfair" to equate 'Islam' with terrorism, claiming that every group has its extremist factions: " "I don't like to talk about Islamic violence. Not all Muslims are violent. In every religion there are small groups of fundamentalists." "We [Catholics] have them, too. So it's not fair to identify Islam with violence and terrorism. It's not fair, and it's not true." Further attempting to downplay a connection between Islam and terrorism, the Pope implied that capitalism, if anything, is a type of terrorism.

The chief prosecutor in Dijon described the attacks, which left 13 injured but no one dead, as the work of a mentally unbalanced man whose motivations were vague and “hardly coherent.” A year and a half later, after Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel slaughtered dozens of people when he drove a 19-ton refrigerated truck through a Bastille Day celebration on Thursday in Nice, France, the authorities did not hesitate to call it an act of Islamic terrorism. The attacker had a record of petty crime but no obvious ties to a terrorist group, yet the French prime minister swiftly said Mr. Lahouaiej Bouhlel was “a terrorist probably linked to radical Islam one way or another.” In September 2014, the spokesman for the Islamic State put out a call for the group’s followers to attack Westerners by any means possible, and to do so without awaiting further instructions from the group’s leaders. “Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him,” the spokesman, Abu Muhammad al-Adnani, said during a 42-minute recorded statement. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/18/world/europe/in-the-age-of-isis-whos-a-terrorist-and-whos-simply-deranged.html?_r=0 Europe is Burning (WARNING: Graphic and Disturbing) July 15, 2016 If Europe doesn’t get a handle on the refugee crisis, the European Union is doomed to total chaos and anarchy very soon. http://www.israelvideonetwork.com/europe-is-burning-graphic-and-disturbing/ The Sad State of the Palestinian Liars about Israel July 11, 2016 “There is no freedom of press under the Palestinian Authority, and no journalist can report honestly without risking his life.” This is not a marginal phenomenon. This is a huge population teaching its people day by day horrible myths and ideas that become part and parcel of the culture. They hear nothing else. It is forbidden to hear anything else. “That leads to a situation where Palestinians are not considered grown-ups, while Jews are demonized in the same way they have been during the worst periods of their tragic history.” Rehov states on French television. He tells the French who live among many Moslems: “If you want to protect Palestinian children, don’t let them be used as human shields by Muslim extremists! Don’t keep silent! Do something, now!” http://www.israelvideonetwork.com/i-died-of-laughter-at-every-line/ The best speech you will ever hear from a former Islamic terrorist recruiter July 12, 2016 Want to fight ISIS? You’ve got to start by recognizing what it really is: part of a worldwide campaign to impose a religion by gunpoint. Maajid Nawaz is not afraid to call radical Islam what it is: A toxic culture that puts the entire world at risk—peaceful Muslims included. And Nawaz would know. He spent 15 years recruiting people to radical Islam, and five years in an Egyptian prison. After discovering secular liberalism, Nawaz wants to help bring down ISIS. But first, he has to convince the leading countries in the war against terror that they’re doing almost everything wrong. http://www.israelvideonetwork.com/the-best-speech-you-will-ever-hear-from-a-former-islamic-terroristrecruiter/?omhide=true&utm_source=MadMimi&utm_medium=email&utm_content=The+best+speech+you+will+ever+hear+from+a+former+Islamic+terrorist+recruiter&utm_campaign=20160711_m132790830_7%2F12+Today%27s+Israel+Connection%3A+The+best+speech+you+will+ever+hear+from+a+former+Islamic+terrorist+recruiter&utm_term=Majid-nawaz-email_png_3F1468308809 Recent U.S. Presidential Candidate Warns: Financial "Martial Law" could seize up to 80% of your lifesavings, Overnight Every person who lives in this country needs to hear what Ron Paul is saying conerning the Governments intent on seizing your IRA accounts and savings, and assets to bail us out of significant economic collapse. http://financialmartiallaw.com/?cid=MKT261537&eid=MKT274874&gclid=CL3qjvfP6c0CFZSIaQod5J0CYg DOW: 6000 HOW IT WILL ALL UNFOLD… And How You Can Be One of the Few to Sidestep the Carnage In short, there is a “perfect storm” of economic and demographic realities brewing that will likely make this decade one of the most trying times in U.S. economic history. Just some of what you can expect in the coming months: Unemployment will surge again as the work pool continues to shrink and companies lean towards employing people with experience (something students entering the workforce obviously lack). Still saddled with high private debt ($42 trillion at the height of the credit bubble – an estimated $140,000 for every man, woman and child in America), falling income and no equity left in their homes… personal bankruptcies and property foreclosures will resurface stronger than ever. Housing prices will start to fall again, by as much as 40% over several years... the so-called "recovery" over the last few years will diminish faster than an ice on a hot summer day as mortgage rates are likely to rise and the wrong group of investors - the speculators - lose their taste for the market.

He suggested the Messianic vision could be realized without touching Muslim structures at the site by simply building a new structure alongside the existing Muslim buildings that stand on the site of the previous two Jewish Temples. In an interview two weeks ago on the Knesset Channel, the Chief Rabbi said that, according to the measurements for the Temple described by the sages, the Third Temple would not take up the entire Temple Mount Compound and there would be plenty of room for “Jews, Christians, Muslims, everyone.” He expressed his vision citing the Prophet Isaiah: My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.

A past member of The National Secular Society which promotes complete separation between religion and state, as well as the One Law for All campaign which opposes the imposement of Sharia law upon British citizens, Waters sees the danger of Islam and Islamic beliefs which are all-encompassing, often denying basic human rights particularly for women and children. In this video, Waters debates at the Oxford Union debating society on the subject of “Is Islam a peaceful religion”. Waters’ argument is not complicated. She points out basic facts that can all be checked about the results of enforcing Islamic law in the “real world” as she calls it. For those who try to separate the violence and abuse of Islamic cultures from the Islamic religion, as Waters explains, “It just doesn’t work.” “Islam is not a religion of peace.” http://www.israelvideonetwork.com/when-oxford-declared-islam-a-religion-of-peace-she-knew-just-how-to-respond/ VIDEO: Is Europe Doomed by Migrants?

Christianity… This Is CHILLING After the worst terror attack on American soil since 9/11, President Barack Obama chose to remind all of us to respect Muslims rather than call for the Islamic State group and other radical Islamic terrorists to be destroyed. But this reaction was only the latest in Obama’s never-ending string of defenses of Islam. Fox News’ Sean Hannity compiled a video of multiple occasions where Obama has defended Islam and insulted Christianity. “Islam is not part of the problem in combating violent extremism, it is an important part of promoting peace,” said Obama http://conservativetribune.com/obamas-true-feelings-about-islam/ When TV Host Asked Arab Woman for The Truth, He Got A Lot More Than He Bargained For Tell it like it is: Nothing but the truth! http://www.israelvideonetwork.com/when-tv-host-asked-arab-woman-for-the-truth-he-got-a-lot-more-than-he-bargained-for/ For all those who still think that Islam is not the problem… (Disturbing) For nearly 25 years, we’ve been clinging to the fiction that groups such as ISIS are anti-Islamic. There is nothing further from the truth. The inspiration for Muslims to brutalize and mass murder gay people does not come from ISIS. It is deeply rooted in Islamic law, affirmed by many of Islam’s most renowned scholars. This is why, wherever sharia is the law, homosexuals are persecuted and killed. The problem with mass immigration from sharia enclaves is not merely that trained terrorists may infiltrate the immigrant population. It is that sharia-adherent, assimilation-resistant Muslims will form sharia enclaves in the U.S., as they have throughout Europe, where young Muslims will be “radicalized” under our noses in the years to come. Today, we have gotten another glimpse of radicalization, which is not “homegrown” but rather fueled by a foreign, anti-American, anti-liberty ideology. http://www.israelvideonetwork.com/for-all-those-who-still-think-that-islam-is-not-the-problem-disturbing/?omhide=true&utm_source=MadMimi&utm_medium=email&utm_content=For+all+those+who+still+think+that+Islam+is+not+the+problem___+%28Disturbing%29&utm_campaign=20160616_m132165846_6%2F16+Today%27s+Israel+Connection%3A+For+all+those+who+still+think+that+Islam+is+not+the+problem___+%28Disturbing%29&utm_term=Shariah-law-kills-email_png_3F1466065095 Infections resist 'last antibiotic' in US The DNA that gives bacteria resistance to colistin - the mcr-1 gene - can spread rapidly between species. The concern is that colistin resistance will now hook-up with other forms of antibiotic resistance to create infections that cannot be treated. Thomas Frieden, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said: "The more we look at drug resistance, the more concerned we are. "The medicine cabinet is empty for some patients, it is the end of the road for antibiotics unless we act urgently." Commenting on the reports Dr Nasia Safdar, from the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, said: "The results are very concerning. "It is almost inevitable that more cases will come to light. It's just a matter of how quickly things spread. With carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, soon after the initial description it became fairly widespread and not just in the US but globally. "It wouldn't be a stretch to say that we are towards the end of effective antimicrobial therapy for antibiotic resistant bacteria." http://www.bbc.com/news/health-36396663 Homeland Security Whistleblower: 10 Jarring Revelations A new book by Dept. of Homeland Security whistleblower Philip Haney is filled with first-hand testimony that will make your mouth drop. June 7, 2016 Investigations into Islamist movements like the Tablighi Jamaat and Muslim Brotherhood were stopped by the federal government in the name of religious liberties. The hard work of the investigations was not only stopped; it was thrown out. Haney was ordered to delete over 800 records related to Islamist extremists. The deleted files may have prevented the “underwear” bomb plot, the Boston bombings and the San Bernardino attacks. When one of their own acclaimed experts offered to explain Islamism and its networks, the higher-ups didn’t even reply. DHS even rejected the FBI’s request to use him for investigating a Muslim Brotherhood front. Senior officials intervened to let Islamists fly into the U.S. against the advice of their own personnel. Six individuals affiliated with Muslim Brotherhood fronts helped craft the Obama Administration’s Countering Violent Extremism approach to counter-terrorism. Haney documented over 50 meetings between members of the executive and legislative branches and members of organizations identified by the U.S. government as Muslim Brotherhood fronts between 1998 and 2009. Islamist political pressure and law fare works. Haney was repeatedly disciplined and investigated for his approach in tackling Islamic extremism, which took on the Islamist ideology as well as the results of that ideology. He was exonerated each time.

Is this about law enforcement or about fighting a dangerous ideology called RADICAL ISLAM? If this is an act of war against the United States, then the fight is against the ideology, and the heart of the spreading ideology is ISIS in the Middle East. If Obama thinks that this is just an isolated crime that a bit of gun control will take care of, then there is no chance at defeating the cancer that is ISIS. The Orlando massacre is a stark reminder that it’s time to wake up and smell the coffee. Radical Islam will either be obliterated or it will terrorize us for decades to come.

The Liberty Counsel, a Christian nonprofit litigation group, is threatening legal action against Desert Rose Elementary School in Palmdale for “an outrageous violation of a first grader’s constitutional rights,” according to a Thursday press release. The group said Ms. Zavala and her son complied with the order and started handing out the verses after school at the gate in late April. The activity became increasingly popular, with at least 15 students showing up every day. On May 9, Principal Melanie Pagliaro reportedly approached C’s father, Jaime Zavala, and demanded he and the boy move completely off school property and onto the public sidewalk. The family immediately complied, the Liberty Counsel said. Later that day, a Los Angeles Deputy Sheriff reportedly arrived at the Zavalas’ home to tell the boy to stop sharing the notes, because “someone might be offended,” the Liberty Counsel said. It was then that the family decided to seek legal help. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/jun/3/elementary-school-sends-deputy-to-boys-home-to-war/ Paul Kalanithi: Why I gave up on atheism May 27, 2016 Although I had been raised in a devout Christian family, where prayer and Scripture readings were a nightly ritual, I, like most scientific types, came to believe in the possibility of a material conception of reality, an ultimately scientific worldview that would grant a complete metaphysics, minus outmoded concepts like souls, God, and bearded white men in robes. I spent a good chunk of my twenties trying to build a frame for such an endeavor. The problem, however, eventually became evident: to make science the arbiter of metaphysics is to banish not only God from the world but also love, hate, meaning — to consider a world that is self-evidently not the world we live in. That’s not to say that if you believe in meaning, you must also believe in God. It is to say, though, that if you believe that science provides no basis for God, then you are almost obligated to conclude that science provides no basis for meaning and, therefore, life itself doesn’t have any. In other words, existential claims have no weight; all knowledge is scientific knowledge. Science may provide the most useful way to organize empirical, reproducible data, but its power to do so is predicated on its inability to grasp the most central aspects of human life: hope, fear, love, hate, beauty, envy, honor, weakness, striving, suffering, virtue. Yet I returned to the central values of Christianity -- sacrifice, redemption, forgiveness -- because I found them so compelling. There is a tension in the Bible between justice and mercy, between the Old Testament and the New Testament. And the New Testament says you can never be good enough: goodness is the thing, and you can never live up to it. The main message of Jesus, I believed, is that mercy trumps justice every time. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2016/05/27/paul-kalanithi-why-gave-up-on-atheism.html?intcmp=hpcmt The superbug that doctors have been dreading just reached the U.S. May 30, 2016 For the first time, researchers have found a person in the United States carrying bacteria resistant to antibiotics of last resort, an alarming development that the top U.S. public health official says could mean “the end of the road” for antibiotics. The antibiotic-resistant strain was found last month in the urine of a 49-year-old Pennsylvania woman. Defense Department researchers determined that she carried a strain of E. coli resistant to the antibiotic colistin, according to a study published Thursday in Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, a publication of the American Society for Microbiology. The authors wrote that the discovery “heralds the emergence of a truly pan-drug resistant bacteria.” Colistin is the antibiotic of last resort for particularly dangerous types of superbugs, including a family of bacteria known as CRE, which health officials have dubbed “nightmare bacteria.” In some instances, these superbugs kill up to 50 percent of patients who become infected. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has called CRE among the country’s most urgent public health threats. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2016/05/26/the-superbug-that-doctors-have-been-dreading-just-reached-the-u-s/ Galatians 5:22-23 : But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, SELF CONTROL.

Potent and frequent solar eruptions could have warmed the planet enough for life to take root, and also provided the vital energy needed to transform simple molecules into the complex building blocks of life, such as DNA, researchers said. The first organisms evolved on Earth about 4 billion years ago. This fact has long puzzled scientists, because in those days, the sun was only about 70 percent as bright as it is today. (7 Theories on the Origin of Life) "That means Earth should have been an icy ball," study lead author Vladimir Airapetian, a solar scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, said in a statement.

He is the son of the Prophet’s 11th Heir Imam Hassan Askari (AS), and was born in 255 AH in the city of Samarra in Iraq. He was five years at the time of the martyrdom of his father, and was entrusted by God with the universal message of Islam at this tender age. He went into occultation (Gheyba) at the start of his imamate. This period is known as "Gheybat us-Soghra” because of its short timespan compared to his second and lengthy occultation known as "Gheybat ul-Kubra”, which continues. During both periods of occultation, the Imam was in contact with his close representatives. Imam Mahdi will return in the end times to fulfill God’s promise. According to the authentic narrations, Imam Mahdi (AS) will reappear as a young man, despite having lived for over a thousand years. So how can this be? How is it possible to live for such a long period? And how can he live long yet not age physically? This paper is going to address these questions on the basis of the ayahs of the holy Qur’an and authentic Hadith.

The Department of Justice has come up with a proposal to exempt the biometric database from public disclosure. It states that the Next Generation Identification System (NGI) should not be subject to the Privacy Act, which requires federal agencies to give people access to records that have been collected concerning them, “allowing them to verify and correct them if needed.” Facebook has long used facial recognition software to identify people in uploaded photographs and offers facial recognition as a method of verifying a user’s identity. The Interstate Photo System contains 23 million front-facing photographs that can be used to identify suspects without human intervention.
