PRO-LIFE vs. ETERNAL LIFE!

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and windy (63 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 19 robins, 17 grackles, 10 blackbirds, 6 crows, 4 cranes, a bunny and a dog! Thank you, Jesus!

Years ago, I was told by a local Christian radio host that I should go to Milwaukee and lead my people in a pro-life demonstration at an abortion clinic. Though I didn’t want to go, I decided to go to see what it was like. And, though I wasn’t surprised by the two sides on two different sides of a fence, I was surprised by those on the pro-life side who were carrying statues of Mary and praying the Rosary. And, then, it dawned on me – just because you are pro-life doesn’t mean you are saved and on your way to heaven. The apostle Paul, in Ephesians 2:8, 9, wrote: “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works (praying a prayer, getting baptized, being confirmed, being pro-life, etc.) that no one should boast.”

The Scriptures are clear: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by Him through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24). Jesus is the only Way to heaven (John 14:6). So, please, forget about your religion and all your good works and agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior and believe Jesus died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (I Corinthians 15:1-4; John 3:16). And, if you do, I’ll see you in heaven. Preaching today; need prayer. Thanks, Doug (6/26/22)

SIGNS in the SUN & on EARTH!

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and warm (68 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 21 grackles, 19 robins, 14 blackbirds, 12 crows, 2 bunnies, a cardinal, a deer and a dove! Thank You, Jesus!

This headline, from Live Science, caught my eye this morning: “Giant sunspot doubled in size in 24 hours, and it’s pointing right at Earth.”

In the article, Ben Turner wrote: “A gigantic sunspot has swelled to twice Earth’s size, doubling its diameter in 24 hours – and, its pointed right at us. The sunspot, called AR3038, grew to 2.5 times Earth’s size – making the sunspot roughly 19,800 miles, or 31,900 kilometers, in diameter – from Sunday (June 19) to Monday night (June 20).” Remember, Dr. Luke said, in Luke 21:25, that, before Jesus comes, “there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars.” Could this be one of them? Stay tuned, dear brothers and sisters in Christ and keep, watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes.

Here’s another headline, from Megan Redshaw of the Defender, which could be prophetic: “Monitoring System for Safety Signals.” Redshaw reports: “The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention today released new data showing a total of 1,307,928 reports of adverse events following COVID-19 vaccines were submitted between December 14, 2020, and June 17, 2022. That’s an increase of 6,572 adverse events over the previous week. The data included a total of 29,031 reports of deaths – an increase of 172 over the previous week – including 242,022 serious injuries, including deaths, during the same time period – up 1,610 compared with the previous week.” These could certainly fall under the categories of “war” and “plague” (Matthew 24:6; Luke 21:11). Note: So much for the “safe and effective” vaccines and, I might add, with no liability for injuries or deaths.

Yes, dearly beloved in Christ, Jesus is coming! And, based on what He said, in Matthew 24:34, we could very well be the “generation” which sees all the “signs” of His return. So, let us continue to watch, wait, work, witness for, walk with and worship Jesus until He comes. And, if you are not a believer, why not become one today by agreeing with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) Who died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (I Corinthians 15:1-4; John 3:16). Blessings with love and prayers, Doug (6/25/22)

WILD SOLAR WEATHER!

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and warm (66 degrees) where, on my morning walk, I saw: 26 robins, 17 blackbirds, 3 doves, 2 grackles, a bunny, a crow and a dog! Thank You, Jesus!

This recent headline, from Space.com, got my attention this morning: “Wild Solar Weather Is Causing Satellites to Plummet From Orbit. It’s Only Going to Get Worse.”

In the article, Tereza Pultarova reported: “In late 2021, operators of the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Swarm constellation noticed something worrying: The satellites which measure the magnetic field around the Earth, started sinking toward the atmosphere at an unusually fast rate – up to 10 times faster than before. … The last cycle, which officially ended in December 2019, was rather sleepy, with a below-average number of monthly sunspots and a prolonged minimum of barely any activity, But, since last fall, the star has been waking up, spewing more and more solar wind and generating sunspots, solar flares and coronal mass ejections at a growing rate. And the Earth’s upper atmosphere has felt the effects.” See Revelation 21:25-28.

Also, of note, was this “rumors of war” headline from the Jerusalem Post: “Taiwan jets scramble as China air force enters air defense zone. In the article, the Reuters Staff wrote: “Taiwan’s air force scrambled on Thursday to warn away 22 Chinese aircraft that entered its air defense zone,’ Taiwan’s defense ministry said.” See Matthew 24:7 and Mark 13:7.

Yes, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, these are, indeed, both scary and exciting times, as we see Bible prophecy being fulfilled right before our eyes. So, stay tuned and keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes. And, if you are still not a believer in Jesus, please, agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) Who died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (I Corinthians 15:1-4; John 3:16). Blessings, Doug (6/24/22)

VIRTUAL CHILDREN & ROBOTS!

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and 61 degrees Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 26 grackles, 17 robins, 10 blackbirds, 4 crows, 3 doves, 2 deer (including my first fawn) and 2 bunnies!

These headlines, from Dr. Joseph Mercola, were stunning and scary:

#1. Virtual Children to Help Combat Overpopulation

#2. Wall Street’s Best-Kept Secret: A Robot That Owns Everything

In the first article, Dr. Mercola reported: “Artificial intelligence expert Catriona Campbell predicts virtual children will be commonplace within the next 50 years, which can help combat overpopulation. The virtual children would only exist in the metaverse, and parents would interact with them using high-tech wearables like gloves that can deliver tactile feedback to replicate physical sensations.

Climate change, over population, transhumanism and the digitization of human life are all part and parcel of the The Great Reset agenda, which will not be complete until humanity is enslaved to the unelected few who will run the world through algorithms and AI (Artificial Intelligence).”

In the second article, Dr. Mercola wrote: “A robot named Aladdin has taken over Wall Street. As the brainchild of Larry Fink, billionaire CEO of the multinational investment corporation that also is the world’s largest asset manager, BlackRock, Aladdin represents AI at its extreme.

If it sounds like science fiction, be aware: “It’s real. Aladdin controls $21 trillion of the global economy and, according to the New York Times best-selling author Roger James Hamilton, ‘it directs the actions of the U.S. Federal Reserve, every major bank and investment fund on Wall Street and over 17,000 traders.

EFTSs and the bond market are also in Aladdin’s pockets. It also knows everything about you, too, and, as the biggest ‘shadow bank’ in history, it makes it easy for BlackRock to control everything, from the price of housing to President Joe Biden’s National Economic Council, which is headed by BlackRock’s former global head of sustaining investment, Brian Deese.” Source: YouTube Roger James Hamilton

Wow! Wow! Wow! Now, I don’t know about you but, should the Lord tarry, I am thinking things are going to get really weird here on this earth, unlike anything we have ever seen, all part of the so-called “Great Reset” where, according to the experts, “You will own nothing and be happy!” Their ultimate goal: Transhumanism or man becoming God which, sadly, was Satan’s desire from the time He was created. See Isaiah 14:12-14; Ezekiel 28:12-19.

And, to the unbelievers out there, please, I beg of you – agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) Who died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). Believe me, you will be eternally grateful. Blessings with love in Christ, Doug (6/23/22)

And so, I ask you, my brothers and sisters in Christ, are you ready for tougher times which may very well include persecution? We should be, based on what the apostle Peter said in I Peter 4:12, 13: “Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you; but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing; so that also at the revelation of His glory, you may rejoice with exultation.”

AFGHAN QUAKE!

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and warm (65 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 16 grackles, 14 robins, 8 blackbirds, 4 crows, 3 doves, 2 dogs, a bunny and a cardinal! Thank You, Jesus!

This headline , from the AP (Associated Press), got my attention this morning: “1,000 dead, 1,500 injured in Afghan quake.” This “moderate” quake registered 5.9 on the Richter Scale. It was one of 5 “moderate” quakes from around the world, over the last 24 hours. The others were in or near Indonesia (2), Iran and Papua New Guinea.

Let me remind you that Jesus said, in Matthew 24:7 and Mark 13:8, that, before His return, “there will be earthquakes in various places.” And, He also said, they would increase in frequency and intensity like “birth pains” (Matthew 24:8). So, stay tuned and keep watching for more frequent and intense earthquakes, even here in the U.S., as we get closer to the Lord’s return.

Jesus also said, in Matthew 24:6 and Mark 13:7, “you will be hearing of wars and rumors of war.” This headline, from the June 22nd Jewish News Syndicate, fell into the “rumors of war” category: “Ex-Russian diplomat: ‘US-Moscow confrontation more likely in Syria than Ukraine.'” And, as I have also said before, I believe (and I could be wrong), according to the prophecies of Isaiah 17:1 and Ezekiel 38, 39, both Syria and Russia will be destroyed. Stay tuned!

Yes, dearly beloved in Christ, Jesus is coming and reminds us to “be on the alert” (Mark 13:33, 35, 37) which we can do by watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes. And, if you are still not a believer in Jesus, please agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe Jesus died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). And, if you do, I’ll see you in heaven. Glory to God! Blessings with love, Doug (6/22/22)

WHAT ABOUT the BABIES?

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and warm (70 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 28 robins, 10 blackbirds, 4 doves, 4 grackles, a bunny, a crow and a dog!

This headline, from yesterday’s Technocracy News and Trends, grieved me this morning: “Pfizer Document Reveals High Rate of Vaccinated Pregnant Women Who Lost Their Babies.”

In the article, the TNT staff reported: “According to traditional medicine, vaccines were never given to pregnant women or even those who were trying to conceive. mRNA vaccines were and still are not approved by the FDA and yet are being widely promoted to pregnant women in a complete flip-flop of successful medical practice. The real science no longer matters. Pseudo-science is calling the shots.

On June 1, 2021, retired neurosurgeon Dr. Russell Blaylock recorded the insanity of this U-turn: “As of May 20, 2021, approximately 1,140 pregnant women reported adverse events after receiving one or two doses of this vaccine. In the past, it was standard knowledge that a woman should not receive any vaccine during pregnancy or if a woman even intends to get pregnant. The WHO (World Health Organization) agreed with this policy but, because of objections from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) , they switched their recommendations from no vaccines to endorsing the vaccination of all pregnant women. This is despite the admission by all the makers of these vaccines that no studies of the effect of these vaccines on pregnant women or their babies had been conducted. Blaylock was vilified for his view that ‘immune stimulation early in pregnancy results in high rates of ‘miscarriage’ while noting that, according to VAERS data, ‘we have 351 reports of miscarriage and premature births among women vaccinated during pregnancy.”

One year later (May, 2022), after Pfizer lost its quest to hide internal documents forever, they were sprung by a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request plus a court order. Those documents reveal that 82% to 97% of vaccinated pregnant women lost their babies! This clearly means that Pfizer knew full well that their EUA-only mRNA injections could have catastrophic outcomes for pregnant women and yet its executives opened the floodgates of propaganda to inject as many pregnant women as possible.”

Wow! How sad! Jesus said, in Matthew 19:14, “Let the children (and, I would add ‘babies’) alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

So, let me ask you a question: “To whom are you listening?” Jesus, the Creator of life (Colossians 1:16) or Satan, the destroyer of life (John 8:44)? My prayer is that, if you haven’t already done so, you will agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) Who died on a cross for your sins (past, present and future), was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). And, if you are a believer in Jesus, may you find grace and mercy in Him, as you watch, wait, work, witness for, walk with and worship Jesus until He comes. Blessings, Doug (6/21/22)

PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE!

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and warm (68 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 36 grackles, 28 robins, 5 blackbirds, 4 bunnies, 2 dogs a crow, a deer, a dove and a finch! Thank You, Jesus!

In yesterday’s news, I saw this scary headline from Technocracy News and Trends: “US Government Is Waging Psychological Warfare on the Nation, Weaponizing Everything!”

In the article, the TNT Staff reported: “A certain marker of war is the presence and use of psychological warfare to confuse and dominate the enemy. It is unfortunate that we have been declared the enemy and rampant psychological warfare is leveled at us with every new barrage of propaganda. Have you ever wondered who’s pulling the strings?

Well, according to the U.S. Army Psychological Operations recruitment video, “The U.S. government is waging psychological warfare on the American people.

Psychological warfare, according to the Rand Corporation, involves the planned use of propaganda and other psychological operations to influence the opinions, emotions, attitudes, and behavior of opposition groups.

For years now, the government has been bombarding the citizenry with propaganda campaigns and psychological operations aimed at keeping us compliant, easily controlled and supportive of the police state’s various efforts abroad and domestically. For instance, how many times have you heard the expression, “follow the science,” when it is not science or “the vaccines are safe and effective” when they are not.

Sadly, the government is so confident in its Orwellian powers of manipulation that it’s taken to brag about them. Just recently, for example, the U.S. Army’s 4th Psychological Operations Group, the branch of the military responsible for psychological warfare, released a recruiting video that touts its efforts to pull the strings, turn everything they touch into a weapon, be everywhere, deceive, persuade, change, influence and inspire.” This reminded me of James 4:16 where the half-brother of Jesus wrote: “But as it is, you boast in your arrogance; all such boasting is evil.”

Remember, Jesus said in John 14:6, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me.” And, also remember, He said of the devil, in John 8:44, “he was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature; for he is a liar and the father of lies.”

The choice is yours: Jesus or Satan? Heaven or hell? I am praying that, if you have not already done so, you will agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (I Corinthians 15:1-4; John 3:16). And, if you are a believer in Jesus, please “fix your eyes on Him” (Hebrews 12:2) and keep them there while watching, waiting, working, witnessing for and worshiping Jesus until He comes. Blessings, Doug (6/20/22)

THE HEAVENLY FATHER!

Good morning, blog readers, from partly cloudy/sunny and cool (52 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 39 robins, 18 grackles, 13 blackbirds, 6 doves, 5 bunnies, 2 deer and a crow! Thank You, Jesus!

When I think of Father’s Day, I think of my Mom who fathered my brother and me while we were growing up without a Dad. But, more importantly, I think of my Heavenly Father Who sent His only begotten Son to die for me and my sins that, as I believe in Him (Jesus), I would not perish in hell, but have eternal life in heaven (John 3:16).

So, if you are growing up without a father, please know God loves you and wants you to spend your eternity with Him in heaven. And, all you need to do is – agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) Who died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins (past, present and future) and give you eternal life (John 3:16).

And, if you are a believer in Jesus, fix your eyes on Him (Hebrews 12:2) and keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes. Love and blessings, Doug (6/19/22)

STILLMORE!

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and cool (49 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 45 robins, 19 blackbirds, 18 grackles, 5 doves, 3 cranes, 3 crows, 3 deer, a bunny, a cardinal and a duck! Thank You, Jesus!

Now, if you’re like me, you probably have never heard of “Stillmore, Gorgia” where, you might have guessed, there was a rare and “minor” (3.9) earthquake this morning. And, speaking of “quakes”(which I like to do), there were also 6 “moderate” (5.1, 5.1, 5.2, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4) quakes in or near Indonesia, the Kermadec Islands, Mexico (2), Vanuatu and Indonesia. Remember, Jesus said, in Matthew 24:7, “in various places, there will be famines and earthquakes. So, stay tuned and be thankful these were “moderate” quakes and not “strong” (6.0-6.9), “major” (7.0-7.9) or “great” (8.0+) which, I believe, are coming as we get closer to the Lord’s return.

And, speaking of “still more,” the Gatestone Institute reported this morning of “still more threats” against Israel by way of Iran, including the “threat to eliminate Israel” which, according to Psalm 83:1-8, is also the goal of Israel’s neighbors. But, let me remind you, from the Word of God (Jeremiah 31:35-37), as long as there is a sun, moon and stars, there will always be an Israel.

So, stay tuned, dearly beloved in Christ and know that Jesus is coming! So, let us keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes. And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, please agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe that he died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (I Corinthians 15:1-4; John 3:16). Blessings, Doug (6/18/22)

ISRAEL, RUSSIA & SYRIA

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and warm (63 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 39 robins, 14 grackles, 8 blackbirds, 5 doves, 2 dogs, a bunny, a cardinal, crow and a deer! Thank You, Jesus!

This headline, from the June 15th Times of Israel, caught my prophetical eye this morning: “Russia summons Israeli envoy for clarifications on Damascus airport strike.”

In the article, Lazar Berman and Emanuel Fabian reported: “Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister has summoned Israel’s ambassador, Alexander Ben Zvi, to express Moscow’s concern over a strike on Damascus International Airport last week that was widely attributed to Israel.

According to Russia’s Foreign Ministry, Mikhail Bogdanov told Ben Zvi that Moscow is not pleased with the justifications offered by Israel thus far, and that it is waiting for additional clarifications ‘within the framework of the existing Russian-Israeli mechanism to prevent dangerous incidents in Syria.'”

Let me remind you again that, based on the prophecy of Psalm 83, Assyria (modern-day Syria), along with a coalition of Israel’s enemies in the region will, one day, “conspire to wipe Israel out as a nation, that the name of Israel be remembered no more (verses 3-8).”

In my opinion (and I could be wrong), Israel will defeat her neighbors, perhaps even “nuke” Damascus, thus fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah 17:1. Then, at a time when Israel is living in “peace and safety” Russia, Iran, Libya, Turkey and a host of other nations will invade Israel “to take a spoil,” only to be destroyed by the Lord God Himself (Ezekiel 38-39). So, stay tuned, as we could actually see some or all of this happen in our lifetime.

Yes, dearly beloved in Christ, Jesus is coming! So, let us keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Him until He comes. And, if you are still not a believer in Jesus, there’s still time for you to become one – simply agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe Jesus died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (I Corinthians 15:1-4; John 3:16). And, if you do, I’ll see you in heaven, if not sooner. Glory to God! Blessings, Doug (6/17/22)
