THE WRATH of GOD!

Good morning, blog readers, from clear and cool (53 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I was once again blessed to see the heavens declaring the glory of God (Psalm 19:1)!

This morning, as part of my devotions, I read from Chapter Six of Dr. Henry Morris’ book, “The Revelation Record,” which was titled: “The Great Day of God’s Wrath.” Now I don’t know about you or your church, but I don’t hear a lot of preachers preaching these days on “The Wrath of God.” Here’s what Dr Morris had to say: “The time of singing has finally ceased, for the hour of judgment has come. The Lamb, whose right it is, has received the earth’s title deed and now must begin to take possession of His kingdom. The scroll whose writing is within has been rolled and sealed with seven seals. Before the great claim can be verified officially, the seals must be broken and the writing openly displayed. By the same token, the invaders of earth and their human lackeys must be expelled before the Lamb’s divine ownership will ever be openly recognized. Thus, the opening of the seals coincides with the judgments on the earth. As each successive seal is broken, the wrath of God takes successive toll on the earth and its inhabitants. Thus begins a seven- year period of the most severe troubles the world will ever know. This is “the day of the Lord,” the time when God breaks His agelong silence and speaks from heaven in mighty power. The great judgments of this period are described in words of fire by the prophets of the Old Testament, especially Isaiah and Daniel. It requires the Book of Revelation, however, to provide a basic topical and chronological framework which enables us to sort them all out and put them in right perspective.

This seven-year period (see Chapter 1) is also the same as Daniel’s famous ‘seventieth week’ (Daniel 9:24-27). With respect to the unbelieving nation of Israel, it is to be ‘the time of Jacob’s trouble’ (Jeremiah 30:7). For the unbelieving Gentiles, it is ‘the time of Jacob’s trouble’ (Jeremiah 30:7). For the unbelieving Gentiles, it is the time of ‘the indignation of the Lord upon all nations’ (Isaiah 34:2).” All I can say is: “Wow! Wow! Wow and Wow! But, thankfully, we have a Savior from sin, judgment and wrath. Thank You, Jesus!

Please know, if you are not a believer in Jesus, you are under the wrath of God and destined for an eternity in hell. But, there’s “good news,” you don’t have to go there. Simply, 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 (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! Then, simply, watch, wait, work, witness for, walk with and worship Jesus until He comes. Love, Doug (9/5/24)

DISCERNMENT!

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and cool (53 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 3 deer! Thank You, Jesus!

Dearly beloved in Christ, I just got word from Amazon that my latest book, “Discernment,” had been published and is now available on Amazon.

Personally, I believe that many Christians today are not able to discern truth from error and, as a result are being deceived by our adversary, the devil, who “prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour (I Peter 5:8).”

Peter then admonishes us, in the next verse (verse 9), to “resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world.” William MacDonald comments: “There must also be constant vigilance, a preparedness to meet every attack of the wicked one. Here the adversary is described as a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. The devil has different poses. Sometimes he comes like a snake, seeking to lure people into moral corruption” which, sadly today, is happening among some of the most well-known evangelical pastors in this country and around the world.”

MacDonald continues: “Sometimes he disguises himself as ‘an angel of light,’ attempting to deceive people in the spiritual realm. Here, as a ‘roaring lion,’ he is bent on terrorizing God’s people through persecution” which, I personally believe, will be increasing in this country and around the world until the Lord comes. So, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, 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, why not become one today by simply agreeing 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 (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). Love and blessings in Christ, Doug (9/4/24)

FUNNY RIVER!

Good morning, blog readers, from mostly sunny/partly cloudy and cool (50 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk under clear skies, I saw the heavens declaring the glory of God (Psalm 19:1), a deer and heard the horn of a freight train going through town! Thank You, Jesus!

Over the last 24 hours, according to the USGS, there were 18 “minor” to “light” earthquakes in 7 different states (Alaska, California, Hawaii, Montana, Oregon, Tennessee and Texas) with the cutest and largest of them all a “light (4.2) quake, 210 km W of Funny River, Alaska!

Yesterday, you may or may not have noticed, I did not write a blog, simply because I forgot. Please know I am not making excuses, but have been diagnosed with an “early onset dementia” which will, at times, cause me to forget all kinds of things, particularly, short-term memories. Also, I have been finishing my sixth book, “Discernment,” which I hope to have on Amazon this week. So, if you think about it, please pray for me that I will still be able to write a daily blog and teach Bible prophecy which I really love to do. and, Lord willing, will be doing tomorrow.

And, as always, if you are not a believer in Jesus, why not become one today, right now, by simply agreeing 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 (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, if not sooner. Jesus told His disciples, in Mark 13, 33, 35, 37, to “stay or keep on the alert.” So, let us watch, wait, work, witness for, walk with and worship Jesus until He comes. Love, Doug 9/3/24)

MOSHIACH!

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and warm (78 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk under clear skies, I saw a deer and the “heavens declaring the glory of God (Psalm 19:1)!” Thank You, Jesus!

This morning, I would like to share with you a little something, from Chabad,org, titled “Moshiach: An Introduction.”

In the article, the rabbi wrote: “Two of the most fundamental tenets of the Jewish faith – as listed by Maimonides among the Thirteen Principles of the Jewish Faith – are the belief in the ultimate redemption, an awaited era of world peace, prosperity and wisdom and the belief that the dead will be resurrected at that time.

The Messianic Era will be ushered in by a Jewish leader generally referred to as the Moshiach (messiah: Hebrew for “anointed one”, a righteous scion (descendent) of King David. He will rebuild the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and gather the Jewish people from all corners of the earth and return them to the Promised Land (Israel). At that time, “delicacies will be commonplace like dirt.” All the nations “will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore (Micah 4:3). Humankind will be preoccupied with only one pursuit: the study of G-dly wisdom.”The earth shall be filled with knowledge of G-d as water covers the seabed (Isaiah 11:9).”

Okay, so it’s going to happen – that’s what we (as Jews) believe. But why is this important today? Why is the coming of Moshiach so central to the Jewish belief system?” Because the Torah teaches us that there is purpose to our world. And the Messianic Era is the actualization of that idea.”

Now, personally, I (Doug), as an evangelical Christian, believe the Moshiach (Messiah) has already come in the person of Jesus of Nazareth and that, one day, He will come again to conquer His enemies, rebuild the temple in Jerusalem and usher in a kingdom of “peace on earth and good will to all men, women, boys and girls.” I can’t wait! But, wait I must and watch, work, witness for, walk with and worship Jesus until He comes.

And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, please, I beg you, become one today by agreeing with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believing He 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). Blessings with love & prayers, Doug (9/1/24)

SHOCK EVENTS!

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and cool (53 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk under clear skies, I saw the heavens declaring the glory of God (Psalm 19:1)! Thank You, Lord!

This recent headline, from Prophecy News Watch: “ECO-ANXIETY and AI,” grabbed my attention.

In the article, the PNW staff reported: “The climate change hysteria is wreaking havoc, as intended so that governments can continue to spend on an unidentifiable problem without the masses questioning their perpetual spending.

Then we have the claims that 50% of the work force will be replaced with AI, leaving human beings utterly useless and disposable. Again, both of these fears have been orchestrated by the same organization that wants to ease them.

Perhaps the most ominous piece in this article is Klaus Schwab’s promise that the world is on the cusp of ‘an era of shock events.'” Question: “What are these ‘shock events?”

#1. “A new global extremist group emerges with the world distracted with multiple major wars and major leadership in decline, this could be an opportunistic time for a new extremist group to make its mark – and maybe not face as many consequences. Perhaps it will even leverage AI tools to kick off a new phase of terrorism.

#2. A cyber pandemic, that is intentional. For example, the massive global IT outage in July was not terrorism, but simply a software update from a cybersecurity firm. Yet, it cost Fortune 500 companies $5.4 billion in damages and shut down flights, banks, hospitals, retailers and other services worldwide. Imagine if a bad actor did this – on purpose and on an even grander scale?”

In the post-pandemic area: the COP28 plan to phase out fossil fuels may take decades and it’s unclear whether world leaders will follow through. What’s more probable is that in the meantime certain island nations will keep fighting their cause, whether it is through international law or new climate funds. But, if these islands do succumb to climate change, sinking a lot faster than we expect, how will climate activists and world leaders react? Klaus Schwab’s organization is promising civil unrest, economic collapse, World War III and the evaporation of a nation.”

Let’s face it, there isn’t a lot of “good news” out there in the world. But, then, there is the real “good news” that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:16)!

Please know I am praying for those of you who are lost and still in your sins that you would 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 (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, please know I am praying for your sanctification (Christlikeness) and that you will grow in His grace and knowledge (II Peter 3:18) to the glory of God. Love in Christ, Doug (8/31/24)

BRAIN CHIPS!

Good morning, blog readers, from rainy and cool (67 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my walk which was cut in half because of the rain, I did not see any of God’s creatures!

This recent headline, from Technocracy News and Trends, really got my attention: “Oh, Elon: Millions of People Will Get Neuralink Brain Chips?”

In the article, Anthony Cuthbertson via The Independent (UK), reported: “Elon Musk comes clean on his original plans for Neuralink, going far beyond medical needs. Now, he reveals that his implant will offer ‘super-human’ abilities to millions with no medical condition. Is anyone surprised? Musk the Transhuman is definitely staking his claim in Klaus Schwab’s 4th industrial Revolution world of human enhancements.

Elon Musk hopes to implant millions of Neuralink chips into people’s brains over the next decade, the tech billionaire has said. Musk announced his plans following an update from the neurotech startup that revealed new capabilities of its brain-computer interface. According to the firm, the second patient to be fitted with the device was able to use it to play first-shooter games and design three-dimensional objects. If all goes well, there will be hundreds of people with Neuralinks within a few years, millions in 10 years,” Mr. Musk wrote on X in response to Neuralink’s blog post. Neuralink said that the latest participant in its first ever study of the technology was able to perform new tasks using their thoughts, such as designing 3D objects using computer-aided design (CAD) software.” … The Prime study has focused on people with quadriplegia, though Mr. Musk claims the technology will one day allow humans to merge with artificial intelligence in order to augment brain and body performance.”

WOW, WOW and WOW! This sounds to me like something right out of Revelation 13, the coming of the Antichrist and the “mark of the beast” technology. So, please, if you are a believer in Jesus, don’t get all excited about the possible scientific and medical benefits of this technology which is being created by Satan and his demons to “be like God” which is right out of Satan’s playbook from Genesis 3:1-5.

And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, please become one today by agreeing 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 (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! And, believe me, you will be eternally grateful. In the meantime, keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes. Love in Christ, Doug (8/30/24)

THE SUMMIT of the FUTURE!

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy, windy and humid (63 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I did not see any animals or birds, but did see two neighbors! Thank You, Jesus!

This morning, I woke to the following headline from Doctor Robert W. Malone: “Globalism: The UN ‘Summit of the Future!'”

In the article, Dr. Malone wrote: “From 22-23 September, the United Nations will convene a ‘Summit of the Future’ to obtain official States Parties signatures on a series of multilateral ‘Pacts,’ or international agreements, between participating nations. According to a UN website, the aim of the Summit is twofold: 1. Accelerate efforts to meet our existing international commitments, and take concrete steps to respond to emerging challenges and opportunities. This will be achieved through an action-oriented outcome document called ‘the Pact for the Future.'”

The Pact will be negotiated and endorsed by countries in the lead-up to and during the Summit in September 2024. The result will be a world – and an international system – that is better prepared to manage the challenges we face now and in the future, for the sake of all humanity and for future generations.

The ‘Summit of the Future’ pact and annexes include the ‘Pact of the Future,’ the Declaration on Future Generations,’ and the Global Digital Compact. In other words, this ‘Summit of the Future’ will define a new international system, otherwise previously known as the ‘New World Order.'”

All I (Doug) can say is: we are well on our way to a one-world government under the Antichrist which means that Jesus’ coming is that much closer. So, if you are not a believer in Jesus, I urge you, become one today by simply agreeing 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 (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, He warned us, in Mark 13:33, 35, 37 to “be on the alert” which means we are to watch, wait, work, witness for, walk with and worship Him until He comes. Lord willing and the trumpet doesn’t sound, I’ll write again tomorrow. Love in Christ, Doug (8/29/24)

PESTILENCES & PANDEMICS

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and warm (68 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 2 deer, a plane and heard an owl hooting! Thank You, Jesus! Some of you know I wrote a book called “Birth Pains: An Introduction to Bible Prophecy” which is kind of a “Beginner’s Guide to Bible Prophecy” and, as of this morning, still available on Amazon.

I wrote this book, based on the fact that many people, even Christians, are either scared by or don’t understand the Book of Revelation. So, I wrote “Birth Pains,” based not on what John told us in Revelation, but what Jesus told us in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21. Please read these chapters and watch the news to see if what Jesus said is coming true.

Personally, I believe these headlines could very well be a “word of warning” to the believers in Jesus and unbelievers alike of what to expect before He returns to the earth to set up His kingdom, although I personally, do not believe the true believers in Jesus will be here for the “worst of the worst.”

Headline number One: “The Next Global Pandemic” by Michael Snyder of the American Dream. Michael wrote: “Why are there suddenly so many stories about deadly diseases in the news? And Jesus told His disciples to be on the lookout for “plagues and famines” (Luke 21:11).

Headline Number 2, from Thi Thuy Van Dinh and David Bell of the Brownstone Institute: “The UN Green Agenda Will Spark Famine.” In the article, Patrick Wood wrote: “Where did the UN go wrong? Rhetoric aside, it erred right at the beginning when it decided to meddle with national affairs. However, the old UN was vastly different from today’s iteration, which is based on sustainable development, aka Technocracy. Today’s agenda has baked in famine for humanity.”

Please read Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 to see what else the Lord has in store for planet earth and its people. Personally, I believe (not all Christians do) that the believers in Jesus will be “raptured” or taken up by the Lord Jesus to heaven before the “worst of the worst.” You can read about it in I Thessalonians 4:13-18 which Paul, in Titus 2:13, 14, calls “the blessed hope and the appearing of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus Who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.”

So, let me ask you: “Is Jesus Christ your “blessed hope?” Do you believe He 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)? If you do, you are on your way to an eternity in heaven. If not, then hell will be your future and eternal destination. Please know I love you and am praying I will see you in heaven, Doug (8/28/24)

QUAKES in DIFFERENT PLACES!

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and muggy (75 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw a friend and her dog!

Now, if you’re like me, you have never heard of a place called Muswellbrook before. It is a town in the Upper Hunter Region of New South Wales, about 243 km north of Sydney and 127 km west of Newcastle, Australia with a population of 16,000, as of 2021. And, as you might have guessed, it is where, over the last 24 hours, there was a “very minor” (2.7) earthquake.

As I have said numerous times, Jesus told His disciples, in Matthew 24:7, Mark 13:8 and Luke 21:11 that, one of the “signs” leading up to His return, will be “earthquakes in various places.” And, speaking of which, the most significant quakes over the last 24 hours, were: 3 “moderate” (5.8. 5.1 and 5.0) quakes in Indonesia, Alaska and Chile.

Now, some of you might be skeptical about my research and even ask, “Where is the promise of His (Jesus) coming, saying: “For ever since the fathers (that is, the Old Testament patriarchs) fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.” In other words, “You, Christians, have been talking about the Lord’s coming for 2,000+ years and He still hasn’t come.” I suggest you read II Peter 3:3-13 for “the rest of the story,” as Paul Harvey would say. Please know I love you and am praying for your salvation or sanctification (Christlikeness). Lord willing and He hasn’t come, I’ll share with you more of my thoughts tomorrow. Love, Doug (8/27/24)

MODERATES & STRONGS!

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and muggy (75 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: a deer! Thank You, Jesus!

As many of you know, I have been charting earthquakes for almost 20 years, mainly because Jesus told His disciples that, one of the “signs” leading up to His return, would be “earthquakes in various places (Matthew 24:7, Mark 13:8 and Luke 21:11).” Now, according to the USGS, over the last 24 hours, there were: 34 (2.5+) earthquakes in Alaska, Chile, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Hawaii, Mexico, the Northern Mariana Islands, Oklahoma, Panama, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Russia, Texas and Tonga, the largest of which were 5 “moderate” (5.0-5.9) quakes and two “strong” (6.1, 6.1), The largest of these quakes were in 5 different countries : Tonga (6.9, 6.1, 5.3), Panama (5.8) Portugal (5.4) and Papua New Guinea (5.1).

As many of you know, I have been charting earthquakes for almost 20 years, mainly because Jesus told His disciples that, one of the “signs” leading up to His return, would be “earthquakes in various places (Matthew 24:7, Mark 13:8 and Luke 21:11).” Now, according to the USGS, over the last 24 hours, there were: 34 (2.5+) earthquakes in Alaska, Chile, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Hawaii, Mexico, the Northern Mariana Islands, Oklahoma, Panama, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Russia, Texas and Tonga, the largest of which were 5 “moderate” (5.0-5.9) quakes and two “strong” (6.1, 6.1), The largest of these quakes were in 5 different countries : Tonga (6.9, 6.1, 5.3), Panama (5.8) Portugal (5.4) and Papua New Guinea (5.1).

Remember, Jesus said, in Matthew 24:8, these “signs,” including earthquakes, will increase, like “birth pains,” in frequency and intensity. So, stay tuned, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, and keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes. And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, simply 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 (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16).
