JUST the BEGINNING?

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and cool (33 degrees) where, on my morning walk, I saw: 5 deer and a robin! Thank You, Jesus!

This recent (4/4/23) headline, from AccuWeather, caught my eye this morning: “Historic EF3 tornado confirmed in Delaware.”

In the article, AccuWeather staff writer Allison Finch reported: “At least one fatality has been reported after a historic EF3 tornado, packing wins of 140 mph, ripped a 14-mile-long path through parts of Delaware Saturday. Following a severe weather outbreak that spawned 80 tornadoes Friday across the Midwest and South, another outbreak formed across the Northeast Sunday.” Note: This tornado which killed one man was “the first fatality in Delaware in 40 years. The last killer tornado to touch down in the state occurred on July 21, 1983, when an EF2 twister touched down in Kent County, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).”

And Jesus said, in Matthew 24:8, “But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs (pains).” Question: “What things?” Jesus listed a number of them in Matthew 24:5-14, “false Christs, wars and rumors of war, nation against nation, kingdom against kingdom, famines and earthquakes in various places, the persecution of believers in Jesus, even unto death, apostasy in the church, false prophets, an increase in lawlessness and the gospel of the kingdom preached around the whole world. Oh, and He also mentioned in Luke 21:25, 26: “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 fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.”

And so, like birth pains, these “signs” will increase in frequency and intensity until Jesus comes. As a result, we can expect all kinds of powerful storms, earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes and, even large asteroids hitting the earth. And, as frightening as these prospects are, we are not to be afraid, but we are to continue to watch, wait, work, witness for, walk with and worship Jesus until He comes.

And, if you are still not a believer in Jesus, c’mon now, swallow your pride and 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). On this Easter (Resurrection) Sunday, may you rejoice in faith, hope and love in Jesus until He comes. Blessings, Doug (4/9/23)

PROPHECY in the MAKING!

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and cool (39 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 5 deer, a bunny and a robin! Thank You, Jesus!

This morning headline, from the Gatestone Institute, does not bode well for the USA: ‘A New World Order’? The Iran-Russia-China Axis During the Biden Administration.”

In the article, Majid Rafizadeh reported: “The Biden Administration has created a vacuum of leadership on the global stage. If the US further pulls out of Asia, the Indo-Pacific, the Middle East, Ukraine, Latin America – anywhere – the vacuum created will surely be filled by the new axis of China-Russia-Iran. A US pullout is, most probably, just what they are hoping for. If Putin sees any gains in Ukraine, China will try to seize Taiwan.

“We’re sitting still, and the Chinese, the Russians, Iran, North Korea, and several others, are moving to shore up their relations and threatens us in a lot of different places. It’s an indication that the Saudis and others are (also) trying to hedge their bets with China and Russia, because they don’t think the United States has the resolve and the fortitude necessary to do what they need to do to protect the world against Iran and its intentions,’ said former US National Security Advisor John R. Bolton.”

As I have said before, the Bible prophesies, in Ezekiel 38-39, of Russia, Iran and a host of other nations, invading Israel to “take a spoil,” only to be destroyed by the Lord God Himself. Bye, bye, Russia and Iran! That opens the door for China and North Korea and the other “kings from the east” (Revelation 16:12-16) to march to Megiddo where they will be destroyed by the Lord Jesus at His coming (Revelation 19:11-21). Bye, bye, China, North Korea and their allies!

Then, Jesus will return to the earth and set up His kingdom for all those who have believed in Him as their Savior and Lord. I believe (not all Christians do) that Satan will be bound and the kingdom will last for 1,000 years (Revelation 20:1-10) after which time, Satan will be released, take one final shot at Jesus and His people, only to be cast into the “lake of fire” (hell) for eternity. Glory to God!

So let me ask you: “Where will you spend your eternity: heaven or hell?” Please know it all depends on whether or not you have agreed 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). My hope and prayer is that I will see you in heaven. Blessings, love and prayers, Doug (4/8/23)

ISAIAH 17:1?

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and cool (32 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 6 robins and 2 deer! Thank You, Jesus!

This recent headline, from The Times of Israel, got my attention this morning: “After airstrikes, Syria warns Israel not to drag region toward ‘total escalation.'”

In the article, the TOI Staff reported: “Syria’s foreign minister on Tuesday warned that Israel risked dragging the region toward ‘total escalation’ after another overnight airstrike near Damascus attributed to the Jewish state. ‘Syria warns Israel and its sponsors once again of the dangers of these aggressive policies, which push the region towards total escalation and a new phase of insecurity and instability,’ it said in a statement.

The ministry accused Israel of striking Syria in order to ‘escape its internal problems through aggressions and crimes outside its borders. A fourth airstrike in Syria attributed to Israel within the span of a week was carried out early Tuesday morning, reportedly killing two Syrian civilians.”

So, you might ask, “What’s the big deal about this conflict between Israel and Syria which has been going on for years?” The big deal is that the prophet Isaiah, some 2,735 years ago (according to Matthew Henry) prophesied: “Damascus is about to be removed from being a city, and it will become a fallen ruin.”

You see, Damascus has been destroyed and rebuilt numerous times. This prophecy seems to indicate that she will, at some time in the future, maybe even in our lifetime, be totally destroyed and no longer exist. Turn to Psalm 83 and, in verse 8, you will see “Assyria” (modern-day Syria) listed among the enemies of Israel who want to “wipe Israel out as a nation, that the name of Israel be remembered no more.” And yet, by the providence and protection of the Almighty God, a remnant of believing Jews in Jesus (one third, according to Zechariah 13:8, 9) will still be here when the Messiah (Jesus) returns to set up His kingdom on earth. 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 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 (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). Blessings with love, Doug (4/7/23)

WAR with CHINA & the WEF!

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny, windy and cold (30 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 4 robins and got two “beeps” from the truck drivers when I waved at them! Thank You, Jesus, for the truck drivers!

These two headlines, from this morning’s news, reminded me of the dangerous world in which we live:

#1. Gatestone Institute: “China’s Race to Dominate the Military and Emerging Technologies.”

#2. Prophecy News Watch: “The WEF’s ‘AI Enslavement’ Is Coming For You!”

In the first article, Lawrence A. Franklin reported: “The US has only a little time left in this race. Reports indicate that deep cuts to the military made by several administrations have severely impaired its ability to catch up. Remaining talent and resources will possibly be reallocated in a new administration, if it is not too late by then.

China has been supercharging its military for years while the US has sat back, watched and argued about unrelated social issues. Communist China is currently preparing its people for war. America is not. The American people, who take their magical lives – when compared to so many people in the world – for granted, may be in for a tormenting shock.”

In the second article, JB Shurk wrote: “When Sir Thomas More wrote his socio-political satire about a fictional island society in the New World, he gave it the fabricated name, Utopia, derived from simple Greek and meaning ‘no place.’ Although More was humorously telling his audience that his idealized community existed nowhere, centuries of central planners chasing the fantasy of utopian societies have failed to get the joke. Worse, for every peaceful, religious community seeking separation from modern civilization, there is a power-hungry tyrant seeking to impose his will upon everyone else. It seems as if not a generation goes by when some megalomaniac does not rise to proclaim, ‘If only the world does exactly as I demand, I will deliver you paradise on Earth.’ Usually, these same narcissists go down in history as either vainglorious buffoons or bloodthirsty tyrants – often both.

Today, Klaus Schwab rises as leader of the World Economic Forum (WEF) to promise a ‘Great Reset’ for the human race. He envisions a future Utopia achieved through technological precision, centralized management of Earth’s resources, careful observation of citizens, the merger of human and artificial intelligence, and the monopolization of government power by a small class with recognized expertise.” Note: “Can you say, ‘follow the science?'”

I don’t know about you but, based on my understanding of Scripture, the world is being groomed for the coming of the antichrist and not Jesus Christ. Read Revelation 13, if you dare, to see what this will look like. This also made me think of the prophecy of Jeremiah 6:12-14 where the prophet wrote: “Their houses shall be turned over to others, their fields and their wives together; for I will stretch out My hand against all the inhabitants of the land,’ declares the Lord. “For from the least of them even to the greatest of them, everyone is greedy for gain, and from the prophet even to the priest, everyone deals falsely. They have healed the brokenness of My people superficially, saying ‘peace, peace,’ but there is no peace.”

Note: And, there will not be true “peace on earth” until the “Prince of Peace,’ the Lord Jesus Christ, returns to destroy His enemies and bring in His kingdom. And, 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, 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 (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). Blessings with love, Doug (4/6/23)

THE SAD SHAPE of AMERICA!

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy, stormy, rainy and balmy (43 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk before a thunderstorm, I saw: 2 robins!

This morning’s headlines literally paint a sad picture of the shape of America.

#1. Michael Snyder, in his article, “End of the American Dream,” reported: “Let’s just hope the U.S. does not need to fight a major war anytime soon. Right now, the U.S. Army is actually shrinking because so few young people are being recruited. Interest in serving in the military has plummeted dramatically, and meanwhile the percentage of our young adults that actually qualify to serve has fallen to a depressingly low.

According to a recent Pentagon study, 77% of all Americans from age 17 to 23 are ineligible to serve in the military for one reason or another. That is a pathetically low figure, and it is the main reason why we need other countries to fight our wars for us at this point. Just look at Ukraine. We are providing the funding, the equipment, the ammunition and the intelligence, but they are providing the warm bodies. If that changes and our young people are actually forced to fight in a major conflict, they will quickly find out that a real war is nothing like Call of Duty or Fortnite.

During the most recent fiscal year, the U.S. Army missed its recruiting goal by 25%. It turns out that school closures during the pandemic have had an enormous impact on military recruiting because test scores have been dropping like a rock. Of course low test scores are not the primary reason why so many young Americans fail to qualify for military service. Sadly, obesity is actually the number one problem.”

#2. Michael Snyder also wrote: “For decades, the U.S. dollar was the undisputed king of global currencies, but now dramatic changes are happening. China, Russia, India, Brazil, Saudi Arabia and other nations are making really big moves which will enable them to become much less dependent on the U.S. dollar in the years ahead. This is really bad news for us, because having the primary reserve currency of the world has enabled us to enjoy a massively inflated standard of living. Once we lose that status, our lifestyles will be much different than they are today.”

Note: The above two articles paint a grim picture of the physical side of America. Then, there is the spiritual side which is just as sad. Since the pandemic, more and more “Christians” are leaving the faith, have no faith or more faith in themselves than in the Lord Jesus Christ. This should not be a surprise to any of us, as “born-again Christians” because Jesus Himself prophesied this would happen in Matthew 24:10. And, the apostle Paul, in II Thessalonians 2:3, wrote: “Let no one in any way deceive you, for it (the day of the Lord) will not come unless the apostasy comes first.”

And yet, despite all this “bad news,” there is “good news!” Jesus said, in John: 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” And, He also said, in John 14:1-6, “Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also. And you know the way where I am going.” Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”

Yes, dearly beloved in Christ, He is coming! And, His coming is our “blessed hope (Titus 2:13)!” So, let us “be 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, 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 (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). Praying I’ll see you in heaven! Blessings, Doug (4/5/23)

8 BILLION to 6 BILLION to?

Good afternoon, blog readers, from rainy, windy and cool (41 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 3 robins, 2 bunnies and a deer! Thank You, Jesus!

This headline, from Live Science, may just be prophetic: “World’s population could plummet to 6 billion by the end of the century, study suggests.”

Ben Turner reported: “A new model has predicted that Earth’s population is likely to decrease in all scenarios across the next century and will peak nowhere near the 11 billion previously forecast.”

That made think of Revelation 5:7 and 8 where the apostle John wrote: “When the Lamb (that is, the Lord Jesus) broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, ‘Come.’ I looked and behold, an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth.”

Right now, we have approximately 8 billion people living on the earth. If a quarter of the population (2 billion) died from this judgment, that would leave 6 billion people on the earth. However, God is not done, as we read, in Revelation 9:13-15, “Then the sixth angel sounded, and I heard the voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, one saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, ‘Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.’ And the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released, so that they would kill a third of mankind.” And, one third of 6 billion would be another 2 billion, leaving 4 billion on the earth, many of whom still refused to receive God’s grace Wow! Wow! Wow! All because they did not see the need of a Savior.

So, what about you? Have you agreed 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)? It is a matter of life or death, heaven or hell and for eternity. My prayer is that I will see you in heaven. And, if you are a believer in Jesus, you know the drill: “watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes. Blessings with love and prayers, Doug (4/4/23)

2030: PART THREE!

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and balmy (41 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: a deer! Thank You, Jesus!

Over the last two days, I have been telling you about the Globalists’ “2030 Agenda.” Today, I will bring you: “PART THREE: “People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace and Partnership!”

The UN (United Nations) on People: “We are determined to end poverty and hunger, in all their forms and dimensions, and to ensure that all human beings can fulfill their potential in dignity and equality and in a healthy environment.

The UN on Planet: “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 UN on Prosperity: “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 UN on Peace: “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.”

The UN on Partnership: “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 ensuing 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.”

There it is: Man’s idea for a “peaceful and prosperous” future. Now, more importantly and truthfully, let’s look at what Jesus had to say to His disciples (then and now) about the future in Matthew 24:4-14. First of all, He said to them (and us): “See to it that no one misleads you. For many will come in My Name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many. 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 and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs (pains). Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations on account of My name. And at that time many will fall away (from the true faith in Christ) and will deliver up one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise, and mislead many. And because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come.”

Certainly, Jesus’ prophecy of the near future is not as pleasant and hopeful as the globalists. But, keep in mind, the globalists who have nothing to do with the God of the Bible, are followers of Satan who Jesus called, in John 8:44, “a murderer, a liar and the father or lies.” Jesus, on the other hand is “the Way, and the the Truth and the Life (John 14:6).” So, please, 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, watch, wait, work, witness for, walk with and worship Jesus until He comes which might just be sooner than you think. Blessings with love and prayers, Doug (4/3/23)

2030: PART TWO!

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and cool (28 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: a deer and a shooting star! Thank You, Jesus!

Yesterday, I wrote a little something from the United Nations about its “2030 Agenda.” This morning, let me give you more of the details. First, here is its Preamble:

“This agenda is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity. It also seeks to strengthen universal peace in larger freedom. We recognize that eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including extreme poverty, is the greatest global challenge and an indispensable requirement for sustainable development. All countries and all stakeholders, acting in collaborative partnership, will implement this plan. We are resolved to free the human race from the tyranny of poverty and want to heal and secure our planet. We are determined to take the bold and transformative steps which are urgently needed to shift the world onto a sustainable and resilient path. As we embark on this collective journey, we pledge that no one will be left behind. The 17 Sustainable Developments Goals and 169 targets which we are announcing today demonstrate the scale and ambition of this new universal Agenda. They seek to build on the Millennium Development Goals and complete what these did not achieve. They seek to realize the human rights of all and achieve gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls. They are integrated and indivisible and balance the three dimensions of sustainable development: the economic, social and environmental. The Goals and targets will stimulate action over the next 15 years in areas of critical importance for humanity and the planet.”

Wow! Wow! Wow! I don’t know about you, but these ideas make me want to sing: “We Are the World,” Kumbaya” and “Imagine.” I also found it interesting that the U.N. actually used some Biblical ideas on the second coming of Christ with terms like – “Left Behind,” a very successful book series on the “Rapture of the Church,” and the “Millennium” which, according to Revelation 20:1-6, refers to the “Millennial Kingdom of Christ” on the earth.

As Christians, we know that Jesus is coming again to set up His kingdom on earth. Some of us, including me, believe His coming will be in two stages: First, He will come “for His saints” in what is known as the “Rapture of the Church” (I Thessalonians 4:13-18; I Corinthians 15:50-57) and, second, “with His saints” when He comes to set up His kingdom on earth (Matthew 24:29-31; I Thessalonians 3:13).

Oh, and one more thought: While it is noble to want to eradicate poverty on earth, Jesus said, in Matthew 26:11, “For the poor you will always have with you.” Again, I’m going to believe Jesus, not the U.N.

Lord willing tomorrow, I will give you Part 3 of the 2030 U.N. Agenda which will include, get this, five more P’s: “People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace and Partnership.”

So, stay tuned, dearly beloved in Christ, while 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) 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, Doug (4/2/23)

2030?

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and cool (35 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 6 robins and a bunny! Thank You, Jesus!

This headline, from Dr. Joseph Mercola, really caught my eye this morning: “Hell on Earth in the Next Seven Years? The Clock Is Ticking!” Note: The United Nations has big plans for 2030! And, they are all evil. More on that, Lord willing, tomorrow.

So, you may ask, “What’s the big deal about the year 2030?” First of all, some of you know there is coming a time, a seven-year period of time which Daniel wrote about in Chapter 9, which I believe (not all Christians do) occurs after the so-called “rapture of the church” which is then followed by the coming of the Antichrist, beginning a “seven-year” period of time known as the “Tribulation,” the last half of which Jesus described as the “Great Tribulation” and worst time in human history (Matthew 24:21). This will then be followed by the coming of Jesus Christ to defeat His enemies and set up His kingdom on earth for 1,000 years (Revelation 19:11-21) which is then followed by the “Great White Throne Judgment” of all the unbelievers for an eternity in hell and a “new heaven and a new earth’ for all the believers in Christ.

All of this to say, Jesus is coming! And He will either be your Savior or Judge. And, even though we will not know “the day or the hour of His return” (Mark 13:32), I do believe we will know the “season” which, based on the “signs” Jesus gave us in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21, we may just be the “generation” to see His coming. So, if you are a believer in Jesus, keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes.

And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, please, I beg of you, do not put it off for another day or minute. 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 if not sooner. Blessings with love and prayers, Doug (4/1/23)

CHINA, RUSSIA & WYOMING!

Good morning, blog readers, from rainy and balmy (43 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my walk in a steady rain, I saw: a deer! Thank You, Jesus!

Have you noticed that China has been making a lot of headlines lately? For instance, here’s a few of them:

1. Air Force secretary says he’s seen nothing ‘more disturbing’ in 50-year career than this move by China (Fox News.com). Question: “What move would that be?” Answer: “China’s expansion of its nuclear arsenal.”

2. And, speaking of “nuclear weapons,” there was this headline: “Russia Announces It Will Deploy Tactical Nukes in Belarus (AP News)

3. Meanwhile, back to China: “Exclusive: Elon Musk Plans China visit, seeks meeting with premier (Reuters)

4. A new world war is on the horizon, as China is marching toward its stated goal of replacing the U.S. as world’s leading superpower (Gatestone Institute)

5. EU’s Digital ID and the ‘Chinafication of Europe’ (Technocracy News). The TN Editor reported: “The total engineering of society must necessarily start with ubiquitous (omnipresent) surveillance with data tracking, as in China.”

Remember, in my opinion (and I could be wrong), China most likely will be one of “the kings from the east” which will march to Megiddo for the so-called “Battle of Armageddon” and be defeated by Jesus (Revelation 19:11-21).

And, as I have said before, I also believe (and I could be wrong) the Lord will take care of Russia, Iran and a host of other nations when He comes to rescue Israel and destroy her enemies, according to Ezekiel 38-39. Stay tuned, as I believe (and I could be wrong), we may live to see some of these prophecies fulfilled.

Oh, and one more, perhaps significant, headline from the USGS: Over the last 48 hours, there have been: 15 “minor” (2.5-3.7) earthquakes in Wyoming (near Yellowstone National Park where, if it erupts, could be catastrophic). Stay tuned, dearly beloved 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, please, I beg you, before it’s too late, 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 (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). Blessings, Doug (3/31/23)
