Good morning, blog readers, from rainy and cool (63 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw a dog, the same dog who lets the neighbors and me know I’m not wanted. Thank You, Jesus, for keeping me safe and mostly dry in a heavy rain!

This headline, from today’s Technocracy News, really got my attention this morning: “15-Minute City: This Statement Should Be Read At Every City Council Meeting in America.”

The TN Editor wrote: “After this statement that ‘schooled’ the entire city council in Aurora, ON (Ontario, Canada), notice the spontaneous standing ovation (see the video) that lasted over 30 seconds. Do you think the citizens got it? Most of the council members look like deer caught in the headlights. I am honored that my work on Technocracy is cited here. Most Canadiens understand Technocracy better than their American counterparts. Still, American citizens could read this statement word-for-word to their city council (Hartford, Wisconsin?). If you don’t know how to do it, go to Citizens for Free Speech and our signature training center.

Joel Sussman said: “Restructuring of Canadian mayors and municipalities under the auspices of the United Nations began in 1992. PM Mulrooney signed Canada onto UN Agenda 21`. Canada thus became a UN member nation-state. 178 countries signed on, lured by the promise of big money to go green. By 2000, countries, including Canada, were being governed by directions of the UN, the G7, the G20, World Economic Forum and World Health Organization, to name some.

The International Council on Local and Environmental Issues (ICLEI), became the main source of consultation to push and fund the global agenda. We remind you that the WEF and the UN signed a strategic partnership framework in 2019 to jointly accelerate the implementation of the 2030 agenda for Sustainable Development. This is the same WEF whose chairman, Klaus Schwab, famously declared ‘you will own nothing and be happy.'”

This reminded me of what the apostle Paul said of the believers in Jesus in Philippians 3:18, 19: “For many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ, who end is destruction, whose god is their appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who set their minds on earthly things.” Then, in the next two verses (20, 21), Paul wrote of the believers in Jesus: “For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we wait eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ Who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself.”

And, there it is, my friends and enemies: you have a choice: Jesus, a glorified body and an eternity in heaven or Klaus Schwab and his buddies and eternal agony in hell. My prayer is that you will choose Jesus 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). To God be the glory! Doug (7/27/23) P.S. Sorry if you only got part of my blog. My mistake!

Good morning, blog readers, from rainy, windy and cool (64 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, for the second day in a row, I did not see any of God’s creatures, got a little wet, but made it home safely. Thank You, Jesus!

This morning, I was blessed to watch a video, “Are the Ashes of the Red Heifer the Final Piece?” by Gary Stearman and Mondo Gonzales of “Prophecy Watchers.”

Some of you may remember that, on September 15, 2022, I watched a plane carrying 5 red heifers land in Israel. To most of the world, that was not a big deal. But, for the Orthodox Jewish and prophecy watchers among Christians, like me, it was a very big deal. For, you see, the ashes of the red heifer, according to Numbers 19, are necessary for the Jews, according to William MacDonald, “particularly with removing defilement caused by coming into contact with a dead person.” This would be one more step towards the Jews rebuilding their temple and reinstituting their temple sacrifices. Already, the Sanhedrin (the Jewish Supreme Court) has been reinstituted, along with the temple choir and instruments in preparation of the rebuilding of the Jewish temple in Jerusalem which, according to Daniel 9:24-27, could very well be part of the “firm covenant” the antichrist will make with “the many,” not all of the Jews for seven years, only to break it halfway through, stop the temple sacrifices and go into the temple and declare that he is “god” (II Thessalonians 2:1-4).

All before Jesus returns to the earth to destroy His enemies, rebuild the temple (Ezekiel 40-48) and set up His kingdom (Revelation 19:11-20:15). Yes, these are exciting times for the believers in Jesus, as we watch the “signs” of His return becoming more frequent and intense like “birth pains,” just like Jesus said they would in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21.

So, let me ask you again: “Are you a believer in Jesus?” Have you agreed with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believed 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)?” Now, if you are a believer in Jesus, “stay on the alert” (Mark 13:33, 35, 37) and watch, wait, work, witness for, walk with and worship Jesus until He comes. And, happy birthday to our son, Scott, with love! Dad (9/26/23)

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and mild (66 degrees) Wisconsin where get this, on my morning walk, I did not see any of God’s creatures!

Today, I thought I would give you a number of different “signs” from different places you may have never heard of. For instance, over the last 24 hours, according to the USGS, there was a “light” (4.5) earthquake, 11 km north of Nzega, Rwanda. And Jesus said, in Matthew 24:7 and Mark 13:8, “there will be earthquakes in various places.”

Then, according to Amir Tsarfati, in his recent “Behold Israel Weekly News,” he reported: “Hostilities broke out between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the disputed Azeri autonomous region of Nagorno-Karabakh. This has led to years of tension which occasionally breaks out in outright war, as it did last Tuesday.” And, not surprisingly, Tsarfati also wrote: “Once again, China is asserting their dominance in the South China Sea. In a single 24-hour period from Sunday to Monday, they sent a record-high 103 warplanes toward Taiwan. While turning back before actually reaching the island, many still crossed into the nation’s airspace.”

Remember, Jesus said, in Matthew 24:6, 7 and Mark 13:7, 8, “And you will be hearing of wars and rumors of war; see that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. These things are merely the beginning of birth pangs (pains).”

As I have said before, I personally believe (and I could be wrong) we are now experiencing what I like to call the “first trimester” of the birth pains, leading up to the return of Christ. And, if I am right, these pains will increase over time in frequency and intensity. All I can say is: “Stay tuned!” Or, as Jesus said, in Mark 13:33, 35, 37, “Keep on or be on the alert!”

As believers in Jesus, we know He is coming. We just don’t know “the day or the hour” (Mark 13:32). But, I do believe, based on what Jesus has given us, in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 and Paul in I Thessalonians 5:1-9, the “day of His coming” will not surprise us as one in darkness.” So, let me ask you, “Do you know Jesus as your Savior? If you were to die today, would you be 100% sure you would go to heaven to be with Jesus for eternity?” And, despite what others may have told you, that you can never know for sure, if you have eternal life, John 3:16 tells us otherwise. So, if you haven’t already done so, 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). Then, simply and lovingly: watch, wait, work, witness for, walk with and worship Jesus until He comes. Blessings, Doug (9/25/23)

Good morning, blog readers, from partly cloudy/sunny and cool (57 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: Venus shining brightly and “Goldie” the dog! Thank You, Jesus!

This headline, from a recent Technocracy News, got my attention: “Technocracy: Digital Public Infrastructure for “One Earth, One Family, One Future!”

In the article, the TN Editor wrote: “According to the UN, ‘Digital public infrastructure (DPI) has emerged as a critical enabler of digital transformation and can turbocharge progress to deliver on the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). Technocracy is coming full circle now by requiring a common identity to track everything that is made or consumed. If you fail to understand this, you’re fate may already be sealed.

Everything the G20 does is based on Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals. The leaders of the world’s 19 largest economies commit to ‘accelerate the full and effective implementation of a social credit system that rewards ‘correct’ sustainable behavior. As expressed in the G20 High Level Principles on Lifestyles for Sustainable Development: Leverage data to support and enable last mile behavior change towards adopting and incentivizing sustainable lifestyles and consumer choices.

In order to fulfill the SDGs and tackle other global challenges, artificial intelligence will also be used in a ‘responsible’ way (really?) and, for example, be used to detect potential risks. To unlock the full potential of AI, equitably share its benefits and mitigate risks, we will work together to promote international cooperation and further discussions on international governance for AI.

The DPI concept includes, among other things, digital identity, digital payment systems and data sharing mechanisms.” Sounds a lot to me like the “mark of the beast” system of Revelation 13:11-18 which, sadly, many people will probably sign up for, for the sake of convenience.

The bottom line is: Jesus is coming! And, if you look at the “signs” He gave us in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21, you would have to think His coming will be sooner than later. In fact, He said, in Luke 21:28, “But when these things (the signs) begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, please, I beg you, 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, keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes. Blessings with love and prayers, Doug (9/24/23)

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and warm (67 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: a dog who was not happy to see me and let me know about it. Thank You, Jesus!

This morning-headline, from the Gatestone Institute will, once again, prove that Bible prophecy is true and going to be fulfilled: “Thanks to the Policies of the Obama and Biden Administrations, the New Axis of Evil – Russia, China, North Korea, Iran – Posing a Worldwide Existential Threat.”

In the article, Majid Rafizadeh reported: “The Biden administration is financing the ruling mullahs of Iran with billions of dollars to put the finishing touches on the country’s nuclear program and for delivering more weapons to Russia with which to attack Ukraine. We’re sitting still, and the Chinese, the Russians, Iran, North Korea, and several others are moving to shore up their relations and threaten us in a lot of different places,” according to Former US National Security Advisor John Bolton (whom I highly respect and love to watch when he is a guest on News Nation).

Now, this is where, I believe, a good understanding of Bible prophecy is helpful in the midst of these scary threats and possibilities. As I have said before, based on the prophecy of Psalm 83:1-8, Israel will, at some time in the future, be attacked by her Muslim neighbors to “wipe her out as a nation, “that the name of Israel be remembered no more.” Note: According to the prophecy of Jeremiah 31:35-37, there will always be an Israel, but sadly, according to Zechariah 12:7-9, only 1/3 of the Jews will survive God’s judgment and enter their long-awaited kingdom when their Messiah comes.

Here’s what I also believe (and I could be wrong): After Israel defeats her Muslim neighbors, she will be living in peace when, according to the prophecy of Ezekiel 38-39, Russia, Iran and a host of other nations will attack Israel to “take a spoil” (something Israel has which the other nations need), only to be defeated and destroyed by the Lord God Himself. Then, some time after the Ezekiel 38-39 war, I believe China, North Korea, the other “kings from the east” (Revelation 16:12-16) and the other unbelieving nations which may or may not include the U.S., will be destroyed by the Lord Jesus when He returns to the earth to judge the nations and to set up in His kingdom.

Personally, I also believe (not all Christians do) in a pre-tribulation “rapture of the church” and that we will miss the “worst of the worst” on earth, But, I also believe (not all Christians do), we will experience some “tribulation,” but not the so-called “Great Tribulation” of Matthew 24:21 before Jesus comes for His bride, the church, which is made up of all those who have been “born-again” (John 3:3, 7) and “saved by God’s grace through faith in Jesus, His death, burial and resurrection (Ephesians 2:8, 9; I Corinthians 15:1-4). So, until He comes, let us watch, wait, work, witness for, walk with and worship Jesus. Love, blessings & prayers, Doug (9/23/23)

So, if you haven’t already done so, please agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (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 (John 3:16). And, if you are a believer in Jesus, keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes.

Good morning, blog readers from mostly cloudy and warm (62 degrees) where, on my morning walk, I saw “the bright morning star,” Venus, aka the Lord Jesus Christ in Revelation 22:16. William MacDonald, in his Believer’s Bible Commentary, wrote: “The Bright and Morning Star appears in the sky before the sun rises. Christ will first come to the church as the Bright and Morning Star, that is, at the Rapture (which I believe, but not all Christians do). Later He will come to the earth as “the Sun of Righteousness with healing in His wings (Malachi 4:2).”

And, speaking of the heavens, there was this headline in a recent edition of LiveScience: “Asteroid hit by NASA’s DART space craft is behaving unexpectedly, high school class discovers.”

In the article, Brandon Spektor reported: “The asteroid Dimorphos is behaving in unexpected ways after being hit with a NASA rocket.”

Let me remind you, Jesus said, in Luke 21:25, that, before His return, “there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and waves, men fainting from and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world’ for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” Read Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 where Jesus gave us more of the “signs” leading up to His return: “false Christs, nation against nation, kingdom against kingdom, wars and rumors of wars, , famines and earthquakes in various places, an increase of persecution for the believers in Jesus, even unto death, apostasy in the church, an increase in lawlessness and the gospel of the kingdom preached in the whole world which is now possible with apps like “Babel.”

Whether you believe in the “Rapture,” as I do, or not, as Christians, we should all be watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes. And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, you can become one right now 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). Then, be about the 6 “ws” (above) until Jesus comes. Love & prayers, Doug (9/22/23)

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and mild (63 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: a deer, a dog, heard a freight train and got a “beep” from a trucker! Thank You, Jesus!

Here’s a couple of headlines which should frighten and concern you:

#1. “Big Brother: Your WiFi Can Now Be Used to ‘See’ Throughout Your Home (Technocracy News)

#2. UN President Approves Pandemic Declaration – Privacy Experts Warn of ‘Digital Gulag’ (The Defender)

In the first article, The TN Editor wrote: “This should make your hair stand up! Your WiFi router and all your smart appliances (including your smart meter) create a dense web of EMF radiation in your home that can be used to see everything and anyone. A scanner used by someone outside your home can see through walls, spot people inside, see all your stuff, etc. Technocrats invent without conscience, ethics, or morality. Note that the team at Carnegie Mellon University of Waterloo ‘built the device using a store-bought drone and $20 of easily purchased hardware.'”

In the second article, Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D. of The Defender, reported: “Over the objections of 11 nations, the United Nations General Assembly president today (9/20/23) approved a declaration on pandemic prevention that seeks to create a global pandemic authority. Critics said the declaration supports COVID-19 style restrictions including closing schools.” Dr. David Bell, a public-health physician, biotech consultant and former Director of Global Health Technologies at Intellectual Ventures Global Good Fund told the Defender: The declaration was not written with serious intent, but is essentially empty rhetoric promoting a continued centralization of control that the U. N. and WHO are openly seeking, at the expense of democracy, human rights and equality.”

Let me remind you: Jesus is coming! Question: “Do you know Him as your Savior?” Your answer will determine where you spend eternity. Please know, if you are not a believer in Jesus, you can become one right now 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). That’s it. And, once you believe in Jesus, He then wants you to find a church which preaches the true gospel (many do not) and watch, wait, work, witness for, walk with and worship Jesus until He comes, Doug (9/21/23)

Good morning, blog readers, from partly cloudy/ sunny and cool (57 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 4 deer, Venus shining brightly and a moth! Thank You, Jesus!

Here are some recent and not surprising “wars and rumors of war” headlines in the news:

#1. In ‘unprecedented’ move, Iran bars 1/3 of UN inspectors from accessing nuclear sites (The Times of Israel Staff and Agencies)

#2. Revolutionary Guards chief warns Israel’s life ‘will be cut short’ if it attacks Iran (TOI)

#3. Air Force stages major drill in Greece practicing potential long-range strike on Iran (TOI)

#4. Admiral sounds alarm amid rising Russian, Chinese movement in high north (Breaking Defense)

All four of these headlines should not come as a surprise to those of you who have not only been following my blogs, but, more importantly, reading your Bibles because the Lord Jesus told us , in Matthew 24:6 and Mark 13:7, that, before His return, there will be “wars and rumors of war” which we are now seeing not only between Russia and Ukraine, but also between Israel and her Muslim neighbors (Psalm 83:1-8) and will see, in my opinion, a war between Israel, Russia, Iran and a host of other nations (Ezekiel 38-39). And then, there is the threat of war between the United States and China over Taiwan. Based on Psalm 83, it seems as though Israel defeats her Muslim neighbors, the Lord Himself defeats Russia, Iran and the other nations who invade Israel “to take a spoil (Ezekiel 38-39), probably leaving China and the other “kings from the east as the only superpowers who make it to Megiddo (Revelation 16:1-6) where they will be destroyed by the Lord Jesus Himself when He returns to set up His kingdom on earth.(Revelation 19:11-21).

So, stay tuned, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, and continue to watch, wait, work, witness for, walk with and worship 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 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! Blessings, Doug (9/20/23)

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and cool (56 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: a dog and a moth! Thank You, Jesus!

Yesterday, as I was looking to find a decent movie to see in the theaters, I came across “The Creator” which, I found, is a lot different than the true Creator of the heavens and the earth in Genesis 1.

Here’s a synopsis of the movie: “From writer/director Gareth Edwards (“Rogue One,” “Godzilla”) comes an epic sci-fi action thriller set amidst a war between the human race and forces of artificial intelligence. Joshua (John David Washington, “Tenet”), a hardened ex-special forces agent grieving the disappearance of his wife (Gemma Chan, “Eternals”), is recruited to hunt down and kill the Creator, the elusive architect of advanced AI who has developed a mysterious weapon with the power to end the war… and mankind itself. Joshua and his team of elite operatives journey across enemy lines, into the dark heart of AI-occupied territory…only to discover the world-ending weapon he’s been instructed to destroy is an AI in the form of a young child (newcomer Madeleine Yuna Voyles).” Note: All I can say is “how sad” for those who believe AI will solve all your problems. It won’t and will only land you in hell for eternity. But, there’s good news: you still have an opportunity to go to heaven for eternity when you agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe He died of 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). It’s as simple as that. And, to my dear brothers and sisters in Christ, you know the drill: Watch, wait, work, witness for, walk with and worship Jesus until He comes. Yes, He is coming and, maybe, sooner than later, according to the “signs” He gave us in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21. Love, Doug (9/19/23)

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and cool (51 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: a deer, Venus & the heavens declaring the glory of God (Psalm 19:1)! Thank You, Jesus!

This headline, from a recent “Times of Israel,” got my attention this morning: “Air Force stages major drill in Greece practicing long-range strike on Iran.”

In the article, Emanuel Fabian reported: “The Israeli Air Force (IAF) staged a major long-range strike drill in Greece this week, the latest in a series of drills aimed at preparing the military for a potential strike on Iran and its nuclear facilities. During the drill, dozens of IAF fighter jets, as well as spy planes and refueling aircraft, flew thousands of kilometers from Israel to Greece and back, the Israel Defense Forces said.

Channel 12 news reported last month that the IDF was set to hold a number of major military drills with the United States in the coming months, including one that would simulate an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Israel has been pushing for the US to prepare military contingency plans in order to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Jerusalem opposes US President Joe Biden’s attempts to revive a nuclear agreement between Tehran and world powers.”

Let me remind you that, according to the prophecy of Ezekiel 38-39, Russia, Iran and a host of other nations, will invade Israel at a time when she is living in peace (not now) to “take a spoil.” And, just when it looks like Israel is doomed, the Lord God Himself will come to her defense and destroy the invaders. And, as I have also said before, I believe (and I could be wrong), this war may be preceded by a war between Israel and her Muslim neighbors to “wipe her off the map” (Psalm 83:4), perhaps even in our lifetime. So, if you are a believer in Jesus, “stay on the alert” (Mark 13:33, 35, 37) and 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 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 and prayers, Doug (9/18/23). P. S. Birthday blessings to our son-in-law, Rick!
