A WHOLE LOT of QUAKING!

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy, windy and cool (51 degrees) where, on my morning walk, I saw: 36 robins, 19 grackles, 5 geese, 4 doves, 4 red-winged blackbirds, 2 cardinals, a crane and a crow! Thank You, Jesus!

Yesterday, there were, according to the USGS: 4 “moderate” (5.0, 5.0, 5.2, 5.5) and 2 “major” (7.0 and 7.2) earthquakes around the world. And, over the last 24 hours, there have been: 4 “moderate” (5.1, 5.1, 5.1, 5.2) and 3 “strong” (6.2, 6.2, 6.4) quakes for a total of: 8 “moderate,” 3 “strong” and 2 “major” quakes over the last 24 hours. Some of you might say, “So what?” or “Who cares?”

Well, let me tell you that Jesus cares and will, one day, increase the number and frequency of earthquakes around the world, including here in the U. S., like “birth pains,” as He told us in Matthew 24:7, 8 and Mark 13:8. And, I find it interesting that Dr. Luke (have I told you he is my favorite gospel writer?) wrote in Luke 21:11, “there will be ‘great’ earthquakes in various places.” And, it just happens to be that the largest of all earthquakes, according to the USGS, are called “great” (8.0+)! And, if you want to see what these look like, read Revelation 11:13 and 16:18.

Yes, dearly beloved in Christ, He is coming! And, I personally believe (and I could be wrong) He could even come in our lifetime, based on the most recent shootings in Texas and Buffalo which made me think of what Jesus said in Matthew 24:12, “And because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold.”

And yet, as “most people’s love grows cold,” our love for Christ, lost souls and other believers should grow hot that we might reach the lost for Christ, as well as build up the body of Christ, the Church, until He comes, to His glory. And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, please know that God loves you and wants you to spend eternity with Him in heaven. But first, you must 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). Praying I’ll see you in heaven. Blessings, Doug (5/27/22)

AN ASTEROID & a QUAKE!

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and warm (64 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 45 robins, 9 grackles, 4 geese, 3 deer, 3 red-winged blackbirds, 2 bunnies, 2 cranes, a cardinal and a dove! Thank You, Jesus!

These headlines got my attention this morning:

#1. Space.com: “Asteroid four times the size of the Empire State Building barreling toward Earth on May 27.”

#2. USGS: This morning, there was a “major” (7.2) earthquake, 13 km WNW of Azangaro, Peru. This was the third “major” quake this year in the world. The other two were: a 7.3 in Japan and a 7.0 in New Caledonia which is about 900 miles east of Australia.

In the first article, Brandon Specktor wrote: “An enormous asteroid four times the size of the Empire State Building will make a close approach to earth on May 27 (tomorrow), according to NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies. It will zoom past Earth at 47,200 mph. NASA has classified the asteroid as ‘potentially hazardous,’ meaning it could do enormous damage to our planet if its orbit ever changes and the rock impacts earth.” Note: Stay tuned!

And so, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, our mission is the same: watching, waiting, working, witnessing for and walking with Jesus until He comes. And, if you are still not a believer in Jesus, c’mon now, simply 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). It’s as simple as that. The choice is yours: Jesus or Satan; heaven or hell. My prayer is that you will choose Jesus and that I’ll see you in heaven. Blessings, Doug (5/26/22)

LAWLESSNESS & RUMORS!

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy, cool (52 degrees) and windy Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 30 robins, 7 grackles, 6 geese, 3 red-winged blackbirds, 2 cranes, a deer and a dove! Thank You, Jesus!

These headlines really got my attention this morning:

#1. 19 Children and 2 Teachers killed in latest mass shooting in the U.S. (AP News)

#2. Russia, China fly nuclear-capable bombers in joint military drill during Biden trip to Japan (Fox News).

#3. Seoul: North Korea fires suspected ICBM and 2 other missiles (hours after President Joe Biden ended a trip to Japan, AP News).

As sad and troubling these headlines are,, we can be thankful these “rumors of war” are still “rumors” and not the wars themselves, although I fear that a war or wars between the superpowers (Russia, China and the United States) may happen in our lifetime. Stay tuned!

The first article about another mass shooting in this country was actually prophesied by Jesus in Matthew 24:12 where He said to His disciples then and now: “And because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold” which we are now seeing big time, almost daily it seems, in this country.

So, in light of these mass shootings, threats from Russia, China and North Korea, the recent pandemic and the other negative news we hear daily, what are we to do? First of all, if you are not a believer in Jesus, you need to become one 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). And, if you are a believer in Jesus, read your Bible daily, pray, fellowship with other believers in Jesus and watch, wait, work, witness for and walk with Him until He comes. Blessings, Doug (5/25/22)

TRANSFORMING OUR WORLD?

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and cool (50 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 36 robins, 17 red-winged blackbirds, 15 grackles, 3 crows, 3 deer, 2 cranes, a bunny, a dog and a dove! Thank You, Jesus!

This morning, I saw this headline from the United Nations: “Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.”

In its preamble, the first “P,” the UN wrote: “This agenda is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity. It also seeks to strengthen universal peace in larger freedom.”

The second “P” is for “People,” saying,” We are determined to end poverty and hunger, in all forms and dimensions, and to ensure that all human beings can fulfill their potential in dignity and equality and in a healthy environment.”

The third “P” is for “Planet,” saying, “We are determined to protect the planet from degradation, including through sustainable consumption and production, sustainably managing its natural resources and taking urgent action on climate change so that it can support the needs of the present and future generations.”

The fourth “P” is for “Prosperity,” saying, “We are determined to ensure that all human beings can enjoy prosperous and fulfilling lives and that economic, social and technological progress occurs in harmony with nature.”

The fifth “P” is for “Peace,” saying, “We are determined to foster peaceful, just and inclusive societies which are free from fear and violence. There can be no sustainable development without peace and no peace without sustainable development.”

And, the sixth “P” is for “Partnership,” saying, “We are determined to mobilize the means required to implement this Agenda through a revitalized Global Partnership for Sustainable Development, based on a spirit of strengthened global solidarity, focused in particular on the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable and with the participation of all countries, all stakeholders and all people. The interlinkages and integrated nature of the Sustainable Development Goals are of crucial importance in ensuring that the purpose of the new Agenda is realized. If we realize our ambitions across the full extent of the Agenda, the lives of all will be profoundly improved and our world will be transformed for the better.”

Wow! Doesn’t that sound nice? Did you notice that there were two important words missing from this so-called “Agenda?” God “Who delivered us from the domain of darkness, and transformed us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in Whom we have redemption and forgiveness of sins. He (Jesus) is the image of the invisible God, the first born of all creation. For by Him (Jesus) all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities – all things have been created by Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together (Colossians 1:13-17).” Amen and Amen!

If you are reading this and looking for this wonderful kingdom proposed by the “United Nations,” and created by man, then I feel sorry for you for you will walk right into a “false peace on earth” under the Antichrist who will lead you straight into hell for eternity. But, there’s “good news” – it’s not too late for you to 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). And, for my dear brothers and sisters in Christ, “fix your eyes on Jesus” (Hebrews 12:2) while watching, waiting, working, witnessing for and walking with Him until He comes. Blessings in Him, Doug (5/24/22)

SIGNS in the HEAVENS!

Good morning, blog readers, from partly cloudy/sunny Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 23 robins, 9 grackles, 5 red-winged blackbirds, 3 doves, 2 cranes, a bunny, a crow, dog and a goose! Thank You, Jesus!

Here are some interesting and, maybe prophetic, headlines from EarthSky:

#1. Sun activity: A calm before a storm (EarthSky)

#2. Tonga volcano blasted winds to the edge of space (EarthSky)

#3. Biggest (earthquake), yet detected on Mars (EarthSky)

In the first article which was posted by C. Alex Young, Raul Cortes and Michael Maimone, they reported: “Sun activity continues to be low, with only small C-class flares over the past 24 hours. The current chance for more flaring is 99% for C-flares, 40% for M and 5% for X. History tells us this calm won’t last for long. We are now heading toward the peak of the current 11-year solar cycle, Solar Cycle 25. That peak is known as solar maximum. The current chart shows the current sunspot number continues to exceed the predicted number. This indicates that the coming solar maximum – predicted for around 2025 – will be larger than predicted for this 11-year period. A larger maximum will mean more sunspots and larger, more frequent solar activity. So the current calm doesn’t mean much. Overall the sun is telling us it’s just a small calm before the next storm.”

In the second article which was posted by Deborah Byrd, she wrote: The Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai eruption on January 15, 2022, sent shock waves rippling through Earth’s oceans and atmosphere. Its massive global effects will go down in history, scientists said. They said Tonga’s eruption dwarfed the biggest nuclear detonations yet conducted. And this month they said that – in the hours after the eruption, the blast from the Tonga volcano caused greater-than-hurricane-speed winds and unusual electric currents to form high in Earth’s atmosphere, in the layer we call the Ionosphere.

And, in the third article which was posted by Paul Scott Anderson, he wrote: “NASA’s InSight lander has been recording marsquakes since it set down on Mars in 2018. So far, the quakes have been low-key, up to magnitude 4.2. But, on May 4, 2022, the lander felt its largest marsquake yet, at a record magnitude 5.0. Its not just the biggest marsquake. It’s the biggest quake detected on another planet so far.”

So, what do all these articles have in common? They are all prophesied in Scripture by Jesus, in Luke 21:25, as future “signs in the sun, the moon and the stars,” which, in verse 26, will cause “men (and women) to faint from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken!”

Believe me, you don’t want to be around when the “powers of the heavens will be shaken.” And, as I have said before, these three articles testify to the fact that Jesus is coming, but, before He comes, He will pour out His wrath and judgment on the earth and the unbelievers unlike no other time in human history (Matthew 24:21). But, there’s good news! You don’t need to go through this so-called “Great Tribulation” if you are willing to 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). Good news indeed! And , if you are a believer in Jesus, get ready for tougher times before Jesus comes by watching, waiting, working, witnessing for and walking with Him until He comes. P.S. Webb finished in a tie for 20th place. Please continue to bless him, Lord, to be a light for you on the PGA tour. Blessings, Doug (5/23/22)

RUSSIA, SYRIA & ISRAEL!

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and cool (47 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 31 robins, 16 grackles, 2 cranes, 2 doves, a bunny, a deer, a dog and a red-winged blackbird! Thank You, Jesus!

These headlines caught my attention this morning:

#1. Three Syrian Soldiers Killed in Friday Night Missile Strike (Jewish Press News)

#2. Russia’s Military Deployment in Syria and the Israeli Challenge (Alma Research and Education Center)

In the first article, the JPN Staff wrote: “The official Syrian News Agency reported that on Friday night, at 11:01 pm, Israel launched surface-to-surface missiles from the Golan Heights towards targets in southern Damascus. The report claims that Syrian air defense systems intercepted most of the Israeli missiles, though three soldiers were killed in the attack, which also damaged infrastructure.”

In the second article, the Alma Research Staff reported: “Until the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, Syria was the most extensive arena the Russian military was deployed permanently. Nevertheless Russia will not abandon the Syrian arena, which it considers a strategic arena, leaving it in the hands of the Iranians. Before the outbreak of war in Ukraine (February 24, 2022, the Russian military force in Syria consisted of around 10,000 soldiers in 12 bases. … As of now, it is not clear whether, in light of the war in Ukraine Russia, has substantially reduced the number of troops in Syria and has transferred them to fight in Ukraine.”

Let me remind you again that, in my opinion (and I could be wrong), at some time in the future, Syria (Assyria in Psalm 83:8) will attack Israel, along with Israel’s other neighbors to “wipe them (Israel) out as a nation, that the name of Israel be remembered no more” (verse 4). And, according to Isaiah 17:1, Damascus (Syria) will “be removed from being a city and will become a fallen ruin.”

And, as I have said before, from my understanding of Ezekiel 38 and 39, when Russia and her allies invade Israel to “take a spoil,” the Lord God Himself will destroy all the invaders. And, I might add, I believe (and I could be wrong) we may actually see these prophecies fulfilled in our lifetime.

Oh, and one more thing, over the last 24 hours, there were two “strong” earthquakes: a 6.1 quake near the Philippines, a 6.3 quake, south of the Fiji islands and a “light” (4.7) quake, east of Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. Stay tuned!

It’s almost time for worship. So, I will sign off for now. But, before I go: please pray for Webb Simpson, a brother in the Lord, to do well at the PGA Championship today in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Thanks and blessings, Doug (5/22/22)

DAVOS 2022, MAY 22-26

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and cool (51 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 24 robins, 20 grackles, 20 red-winged blackbirds, 2 cranes, 2 geese, a bunny, a deer, a dog and a dove! Thank You, Jesus!

Tomorrow, Lord willing, nearly 2,500 leaders from politics, business, civil society and media will be gathering in Davos, Switzerland to participate in the unique spring 2022 Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum. The meeting will be centered around the theme: “History at a Turning Point: Government Policies and Business Strategies.”

Gayle Markovitz, Business Editor, WEF and Beatrice Di Caro, Virtual Event and Social Media Lead, Digital Media, WEF, report: “Nearly 2,500 leaders from politics, business, civil society, academia, media and the arts are set to descend on the Swiss mountain village of Davos, as the World Economic Forum hosts its first in person Annual Meeting for more than two years. This extraordinary event takes place at a watershed moment in history from 22-26 May 2022, convening nearly 2,500 leaders to tackle global issues and find solutions to the world’s most urgent challenges including the ongoing global pandemic, the war in Ukraine, geo-economic shocks and climate change.”

The philosophy of collective action had endured for more than 50 years and it has never been more needed than now. The meeting is the starting point for a new era of global responsibility and cooperation. The moment demands it. Sessions address: global cooperation; economic rebalancing; society, equity and global health; nature, food and climate; industry transformation; and innovation, governance and cybersecurity. The focus is on setting strategies for impact, building new frontiers, creating viable future scenarios and providing ambitious solutions to the world’s biggest issues.”

Sounds a lot to me like the “old-new world order” where, according to the Bible, the so-called “Antichrist” will come onto the world scene and bring “peace on earth,” perhaps after the mysterious disappearance of maybe a billion or so, truly “born-again” Christians who have been saved by God’s grace through faith in Christ (John 3:3; Ephesians 2:8, 9) and been “raptured” (I Thessalonians 4:13-18; I Corinthians 15:50-57).

Yes, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, these are exciting and scary times. But, our God is still in control; Jesus is coming; and our marching orders remain the same: Watching, waiting, working, witnessing for and walking with Jesus until He comes. And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, why not become one today by agreeing with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior (Jesus) 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). And, if you do, I’ll see you in heaven. Blessings, Doug (5/21/22)

CHINA’s MASTER PLAN!

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and warm (67 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 31 robins, 19 grackles, 14 red-winged blackbirds, 7 geese, 3 doves, a cardinal and a dog!

This headline, from yesterday’s Gatestone Institute is chilling: “Concerning ‘China’s Master Plan to Destroy America.'”

In the article, Lawrence Kadish wrote: “China has been unabashed about making its intentions known. Already in 1999, two colonels in China’s People’s Liberation Army, Qiao Liang and Wang Xiansui, wrote, ‘Unrestricted Warfare: China’s Master Plan to Destroy America.’ In it, the authors ‘suggest the significance of alternatives to direct military confrontation, including international policy, economic warfare, attacks on digital infrastructure and networks, and terrorism. Even a relatively insignificant state can incapacitate a far more powerful enemy by applying pressure to their economic and political systems.’ Ideally, ‘one might not even know that one is the target.’

Kadish continued: “There seems to be so many policy decisions now that would appear to help America’s adversaries such as Russia and especially China, rather than what is best for America, that, subsequent ‘genuflection’ by way of apology – after mentioning the current administration’s ‘self-created crises,’ noted that almost every page of the Biden’s 3,000 page America Competes Act ‘ has a provision that helps China but hurts America.”

So, where is all this going? Let me remind you again, from the Bible (Ezekiel 38-39), that, one day in the future, Russia, Iran and a host of other nations will invade Israel “to take a spoil” and be destroyed by the Lord God Himself. And, since the Unites States does not seem to be in the picture, that leaves China as the only world power. And, according to Revelation 16:12, the “kings from the east” which, I am thinking, will include China and maybe North Korea will, along with the other surviving nations of the world, march to Armageddon and be destroyed by the Lord Jesus, according to Revelation 19:11-21. And, while I do believe (and I could be wrong) in a pre-tribulation “rapture of the church,” I also believe we may still see some prophecy fulfilled in our lifetime.

So, stay tuned, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, knowing that Jesus is coming which means we need to keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for and walking with Him 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) 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 do, I’ll see you in heaven. Love and prayers, Doug (5/20/22)

RUMORS, FAMINES & QUAKES!

Good morning, blog readers, from partly cloudy/sunny and cool (50 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 32 robins, 5 grackles, 4 red-winged blackbirds, 4 cranes, 4 geese, 3 bunnies, a deer, a dog, a dove, a duck and a yellow finch! Thank You, Jesus!

Jesus said, in Matthew 24:6, 7, “You will be hearing of wars and rumors of war and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes.”

The following headlines, from this morning’s news, point to all three of those signs leading up to Christ’s return:

#1. Report: In 1st, US refuelers to take part in major Israeli drill for strike on Iran (Times of Israel)

#2. New Food System Will Stop at Nothing to Control You (Dr. Joseph Mercola)

#3. 15 “moderate” (5.0-5.8) earthquakes and one “strong” (6.9) quake over the last 48 hours (Me)

In the first article, the TOI Staff reported: “Collaboration involving Israeli fighter jets and American refuelers seen as message to Iran regarding potential for US assistance in an actual Israeli attack. The unprecedented Israel-US aerial collaboration in a drill simulating a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities is seen as a potential message to Iran amid long-stalled negotiations in Vienna over a return to the 2015 nuclear deal, a possibility Israel has repeatedly voiced objection to, warning it would lead to ‘a more violent, more volatile Middle East.'”

In the second article, Dr. Mercola wrote: “The globalist takeover is coming at us from every possible angle. Whether we’re talking about biosecurity, finance, housing, health care, energy, transportation or food, all the changes we’re now seeing have one goal, and that is to force compliance with a totalitarian slave system. The global food system, and protein sources in particular, are currently under coordinated and intentional attacks to manufacture food shortages and famine.”

And, in regards to earthquakes, based on the USGS’ “Earthquake List,” over the last 48 hours, there have been 15 moderate (5.0-5.8) quakes in or near Japan (4), Timor Leste, Guam (2), the Aleutian Islands Region, Alaska, the South Sandwich Islands Region (3), the Eastern Pacific Rise (2), Tonga, the Macquarie Island Region and a “strong” (6.9) quake in the Macquarie Island Region. Talk about “earthquakes in various places!”

Yes, dearly beloved, Jesus is coming! Are you ready to “meet Him in the air?” which is where Paul said we would meet Him in I Thessalonians 4:17. I’d like to think I am. But, some days (and not many) I’d like to stick around. And yet, I wonder, “How bad does it have to get for me to want to go be with the Lord daily? Should the Lord tarry, we, as Christians, need to be ready for tougher times, including persecution, which might be a real test for us here in “soft” America. But, I trust the Lord will give us “grace and mercy to help us in our time of need” (Hebrews 4:16). And, if you are still not a believer in Jesus, today would be as good as any to become one 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). And, if you do, I’ll see you in heaven or in the air. Blessings, Doug (5/19/22)

MARSQUAKE & UFOS!

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy, rainy, windy and cool (47 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk in the rain, I saw: 25 robins, 7 grackles, 4 deer, 2 geese, 2 red-winged blackbirds, a bunny and a dog!

This headline, from yesterday’s EarthSky, really got my attention: “New 5.0 ‘marsquake’ is biggest yet detected!” In the article, posted by Paul Scott Anderson, he reported: “Earthquakes are common on our planet, and they can be big, with devastating consequences. The planet next outward from the sun, Mars, has quakes too, which we’ve seen as milder so far. NASA’s InSight lander has been recording marsquakes since it set down on Mars in 2018. So far, the quakes have been low-key up to magnitude 4.2. But on May 4th, 2022 – the 1,222nd Martian day of the Insight mission – the lander felt its largest marsquake yet, at a record magnitude 5.0. Its not just the biggest marsquake. Its the biggest quake detected on a planet so far.”

Wow! How cool is that! As many of you know, I have been charting earthquakes for about 16 years because Jesus told His disciples, in Matthew 24:7 and Mark 13:8, there would be “earthquakes in various places” before His return to the earth. Little did I know, there would be measurable quakes recorded on other planets, until now. Stay tuned!

And, in a somewhat related subject, there was this headline from CNET: “Intriguing New UFO Footage Revealed by US Military at Historic Hearing.” In the article by Eric Mack, he wrote: “US military officials unveiled new footage of UFOs – or what they’re now calling ‘unidentified aerial phenomena,’ or UAP – during a 90-minute committee hearing in the US House of Representatives on Tuesday morning. Deputy Director of Navy Intelligence Scott Bray shared clips recorded by military personnel with the White House Select Committee on Intelligence during the first public hearing in over 50 years.

HMMM! Earthquakes on Mars and UAPs. Sounds like something right out of the old “Twilight Zone!” And yet, I am not surprised as Satan is called “the prince of the power of the air” in Ephesians 2:2. Keep in mind, Satan (Lucifer) was created by God to be a guardian cherub of the throne of God in heaven, but was not content with his position and wanted to be God (Isaiah 14:12-17; Ezekiel 28:12-19). And, we also know, from Revelation 12:4, one third of all the created angels chose to rebel against God and follow Satan. As a result, Satan and his angels or demons are very much alive and active in this world and the air above us as well. Oh, and one more thing, angels, including Satan and his angels or demons are, in this life, more powerful than humans. And, that is why, we need the “armor of the Lord” on daily to fend off his lies and schemes (Ephesians 5:10-18).

Yes, dearly beloved, we are in a war against an enemy who is out to destroy us and our witness. So, let us put on the whole armor of God daily to keep the enemy at bay, while watching, waiting, working, witnessing for and walking with 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 (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). Praying I’ll see you in heaven, Doug (5/18/22)
