THOU SHALT NOT KILL!

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and cool (32 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 4 deer, 3 bunnies and got a “beep” from a truck driver when I waved! Thank You, Jesus for Your creatures and the truck drivers!

This headline, from today’s “Christian Post,” really saddened and angered me: “Abortion is the leading cause of death worldwide for fourth year in a row.”

Post Reporter, Ryan Foley, wrote: “Statistics reveal that abortion was the leading cause of death worldwide for the fourth year in a row, as the number of abortions nearly quadrupled the number of deaths from infectious diseases in 2022. Worldometer, a database that keeps track of statistics about health, the global population and other metrics in real-time, continuously compiles information about the number of abortions worldwide. The last available snapshot of the Worldometer from 2022, captured on December 31 by the internet archiving tool, The Wayback Machine, shows that more than 44 million abortions took place last year.

While Worldometer cites a fact sheet from the World Health Organization as the source for its abortion statistics, the WHO maintains that ‘around 73 million induced abortions take place worldwide each year.’ The global organization characterizes abortion as an essential health service.” Really!

And, in a similar vein, there was this headline from Ed Dowd of Brighteon: “7,500 Americans are killed or disabled each day, due to the COVID-19 vaccines.” One of the more startling conclusions in all this is that the United States of America is suffering the ‘early stages of a decivilization’ event, not merely a temporary bump in the road. That term refers to the dismantling of the critical, complex pillars of a modern advanced civilization rendering it unable to function.”

And, one more headline to show this is not only limited to the USA: “Breaking: Data of 72 Million Insured Shows ‘Sudden, Unexpected Deaths Exploded in Germany Since 2021!” Pierre Gosselin reported: “The number has more than doubled since the vaccine was introduced at the end of 2020, jumping from about 6,000 per quarter to 14,000 per quarter currently. The difference, 8000, means more than 80 people each and every day are dying suddenly and mysteriously.”

And, the Lord God said, in Exodus 20:13, “You shall not murder!”

And, King David wrote, in Psalm 139:13-16, “For You (God) formed my inward parts; You wove me together in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to You (God), for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth; Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in your book were written the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them.”

All of this made, me think of Acts 17:30, 31 where Dr. Luke wrote: “Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men/women that all people everywhere should repent, because He ha fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man (Jesus) whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men/women by raising Him from the dead.”

Yes, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, Jesus is coming! And so, our marching orders are the same: 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) 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 and prayers, Doug (1/5/23)

THE FULFILLMENT of PSALM 83?

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and cool (37 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 3 deer and a bunny! Thank You, Jesus!

This headline, from yesterday’s Jewish News Syndicate, really got my attention this morning: “Hezbollah chief: ‘Middle East could explode after Ben-Gvir’s Temple Mount visit.'”

Question #1: “Just who is this Ben-Gvir?” Answer: “He is the National Security Minister of Israel.” Question #2: “Why would he be responsible for starting a war?” Answer: “He visited the Temple Mount on the fast day commemorating the beginning of the siege of Jerusalem by the Babylonians that led to the destruction of the first Temple. The visit lasted 15 minutes and there were no incidents.

So, “What’s the big deal you might ask?” Well, it seems as though the Palestinian Authority, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, France, England and the UAE all condemned the visit, calling it “an attack against the mosque.” And, get this, even “Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef and the Haredi UTJ party blasted Bev Gvir for visiting the temple Mount, because they consider it to be forbidden by Jewish religious law.” And also, “Palestinian factions in Gaza also condemned the visit, calling it ‘a desecration of the Al Aqsa Mosque, a cowardly act and a serious escalation.'” Question: “Would this escalation lead to another war, perhaps a “Psalm 83 war” between Israel and her Muslim neighbors? I believe it is possible and could even happen in our lifetime. Stay tuned!

Oh, and one more “prophecy nugget” for you to consider – over the last 48 hours, there have been 17 “moderate” (5.0-5.6) earthquakes in or near 10 different places: the Balleny Islands (2), Japan (2), the Mid-Atlantic Ridge Region, Papua New Guinea (4) the Philippines (2), Kiribati Region, New Zealand, Reykjanes Ridge Region, Russia, South Sandwich Islands Region (2). Remember: Jesus said, in Matthew 24: 7 and Mark 13:8, “there will be earthquakes in various places!” Wow! 17 earthquakes in 10, different places! Sounds prophetic to me. So, 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 still not a believer in Jesus, I wonder, “what will it take for you to become one?” A “great (8.0+) earthquake, tsunami, volcanic eruption, hurricane, tornado, plague (worse than COVID), intense heat, wild beasts, a nuclear war, signs in the sun, the moon and the stars. And, if you don’t believe me, read Revelation 6-19 and you will see I am not making this up. So, please, today, right now, 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 with love and grace, Doug (1/4/23)

PLAYING GOD!

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy, cool and rainy (33 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk which was cut short by the rain, I saw: 2 deer!

Here are a couple of recent headlines from Technocracy News and Trends which, I believe, fall into the category of “Playing God.”

#1. Geoengineering: Startup Company Says It’s Already Begun Releasing Particles Into Atmosphere.

#2. Will You? The Brain-Computer Interface Is Already Here.

In the first article (1/2/23), the TN Editor reports: “This is no joke operation. The co-founder and CEO of Make Sunsets is Luke Iseman, formerly director of hardware at thoroughly Technocratic-run-Y-Combinator. Question: “Who gives a private company the right to alter the atmosphere for the planet?” Answer: “No One!”

A startup claims it has launched weather balloons that may have released reflective sulfur particles in the stratosphere, potentially crossing a controversial barrier in the field of solar geoengineering. Geoengineering refers to the deliberate efforts to manipulate the climate by reflecting more sunlight back into space, mimicking a natural process that occurs in the aftermath of volcanic eruptions. In theory, spraying sulfur and similar particles in sufficient quantities could potentially ease global warming.”

In the second article (12/28/22), the TN Editor wrote: “Beware the dangers of transhumanism and the merging of human flesh and technology. Don’t expect transhumanism to be aligned with any political ideology, whether left or right. It is apolitical and very closely aligned with Technocracy. BCI (brain-computer interface) is only one aspect; genetic engineering is another.” Neuralink is ready to stick chips in humans. Synchron and Blackrock Neurotech have already done it – as have many others.”

Let me remind you that, when Lucifer/aka Satan (Isaiah 14:12-14) was created by God as an “anointed cherub and guardian of the throne of God,” (Ezekiel 28:12-19), he was not content with his position and wanted to be God. He then rebelled against God and took with him a third of all the angels (Revelation 12:4) to do battle against the Lord Jesus and His angels which continues to this day and will continue until Satan and his angels are finally defeated by the Lord Jesus Christ and thrown into hell for eternity (Revelation 20:10).

Those of us who are familiar with Daniel 9:27 and Revelation 13 are well aware that, one day in the future, a man, a “boastful man” (verse 5) aka, the Antichrist, will bring “peace on earth,” take over the world, rule with an iron fist and demand that he alone be worshiped with the death penalty for all who resist him (verse 15). But, praise God, the Lord Jesus will take care of him and his followers (Revelation 19:11-21).

Wow! All I can say is that things are shaping up exactly the way Jesus said they would in Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21 and Revelation 6-19. Are you ready? I’d like to think I am. But, I need to remind myself and you daily that Satan is more powerful than us, as believers in Jesus. And so, we need to “take up (put on) the full armor of God that I (we) might be able resist (Satan and his demons) in the evil day (today and everyday), and having done everything, to stand firm (Ephesians 5:13).”

And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, please don’t put it off for another minute; 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 with love, Doug (1/3/23)

WHAT to EXPECT in 2023?

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and cool (30 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 3 deer! Thank You, Jesus!

Most of you, who have been following my blog for some time, know that I love to teach and write about Bible prophecy. In fact, you may also know I have written a “Beginner’s Guide” to Bible Prophecy, “Birth Pains: An Introduction to Bible Prophecy” which, to my knowledge, is still available on Amazon under my pen name (D. B. Livingston).

You may have heard me say this before, but let me repeat it, I am not a prophet. But, I do believe the Lord has given me a prophetic ministry. And so, I like to take prophetic passages of Scripture, like Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 where Jesus Himself told us of the “signs/birth pains” (Matthew 24:8) which will lead up to His return: “false Christs, wars and rumors of war, plagues, famines and earthquakes in various places, signs in the sun, the moon and the stars, ferocious storms, persecution and martyrdom of the believers in Jesus, apostasy in the church, an increase of lawlessness and the preaching of the gospel to the whole world which is now possible through today’s technology.

And, keep in mind, like “birth pains,” the “signs of Jesus’ return” will increase in frequency and intensity, as we get closer to His return. For instance, there was this headline from yesterday’s news: “Earthquake (5.4) rocks Northern California weeks after different, strong (6.4) quake.” Personally I believe, based on what Jesus said, we will be hearing of more frequent and intense earthquakes around the world and in the U.S. in this new year. Stay tuned!

Also, keep an eye on the Middle East and watch for the possibility of another war between Israel and her Muslim neighbors (Psalm 83) which, I believe (and I could be wrong) Israel will win, but leave her vulnerable to a Russian-led coalition of nations attacking Israel to “take a spoil,” only to be destroyed by the Lord God Himself (Ezekiel 38-39).

Then, there was this article in today’s israelAM: “The Syrian army said today that Israel carried out a missile strike on Damascus International Airport overnight and put it out of service. Missiles also hit targets in the south of Damascus, killing two members of the Syrian armed forces and causing some damage.” Let me remind you of the prophecy of Isaiah 17:1, “Behold, Damascus is about to be removed from being a city, and it will become a fallen ruin.” Could this prophecy be fulfilled in 2023? Stay tuned!

Certainly, God only knows what will happen in this new year. Regardless, as believers in Jesus, we need to continue to watch, wait, work, witness for, walk with and worship Jesus until He comes. And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, why not become one today and right now 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 (John 3:16). Blessings with love and prayers, Doug (1/2/23)

Jesus Christ or Antichrist? Who Will You Follow in 2023?

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and cool (33 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 2 deer and a bunny! Thank You, Jesus!

This headline which Dr. Joseph Mercola wrote on December 26, 2022, really got my attention this morning: “Bill Gates’ Global Takeover Is Official.”

In the article, Dr. Mercola wrote: “The World Health Organization (WHO) has become extraordinarily conflicted, primarily through its funding, and by serving corporate masters, it fails miserably at promoting global health. The Who will form the foundation for a one-world government, under the auspice of coordinating and ensuring biosecurity. This becomes evident when you review the proposed amendments to the 2005 International Health Regulations (IHR) and the WHO Pandemic Treaty.

The proposed IHR amendments will erase the concepts of human dignity, human rights and fundamental freedoms from the equation. The first principle in Article 3 of the 2005 IHR states that health regulations shall be implemented ‘with full respect for the dignity, human rights and fundamental freedoms of persons.’ The amendment strikes that sentence.

Instead, international health regulations will be based on ‘principles of equity, inclusivity and coherence’ only. This means they can force you to undergo whatever medical intervention they deem to be in the best interest of the collective.

The IHR amendments grant dictatorial powers to the WHO director-general and unelected regional directors. The Who’s ‘recommendations’ will be legally binding by all member states, and will supersede all national and state laws, including the U. S. Constitution.” Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! All I can say is, “Come, Lord Jesus!”

But then, I remind myself, as I often remind you, as believers in Jesus, we are to: watch, wait, 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). May the Lord bless and keep you in this New Year with His grace and mercy, Doug (1/1/23)

BIBLE PROPHECY (2023)!

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and cold (24 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I did not see any of God’s creatures, but was thankful I was still able to walk!

So, the question is: “What can we expect from the Lord in the New Year (2023)? From my perspective, based on what the Lord Jesus told us in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21, I expect the “birth pains of signs” will not only continue, but also increase in frequency and intensity.

For example, here are some headlines from today’s news which seem to confirm what Jesus said:

#1. Putin invites (Chinese President) Xi to Moscow to ramp up military co-operation (I24News)

#2. China Sails Warships Near Guam, in Warning to U.S. Over Taiwan (U. S. News and World Report)

#3. North Korea Ends Year with Ballistic Missile Launch toward the Korean Peninsula (BBC News)

#4. Shocking Lab Investigation of COVID Vaccines (Dr. Joseph Mercola)

Sadly, the fourth headline reveals more of how many world leaders and doctors, including those in the United States, continue to dupe, injure and kill millions with their “fake vaccines” which are not really “safe and effective,” as the so-called “experts” say they are. I would encourage you to read today’s article by Dr. Joseph Mercola, “Shocking Lab Investigation of COVID Vaccines. Here’s a sampling of that article:

“On December 12, 2022, The Highwire posted a fascinating and shocking lab investigation of the COVID shots. Del Bigtree begins by reviewing some of the many alleged findings by organizations looking at the shots using various technologies. For example, some claim to have found graphite in the vials, while others have discovered what looks like nanotechnology and parasites.”

Bigtree reached out to Dr. Ryan Cole, a pathologist who has proved to me that he’s impeccable in the work that he does. He’s unbiased. And I said, ‘Would you do me a favor? Can we get hold of these vaccines? I want to see it with my own eyes. Can we bring some cameras in and do a real investigation?'”

Cole agreed and taped the investigation (which you can see in the article). Cole begins by showing what some of the white, rubbery clots look like under the microscope, and slides showing the distribution of spike protein in various tissues. A number of embalmers have reported pulling these stringy, stretchy objects out of deceased people who got the jab, and they’re different from anything they’ve ever seen before. Cole agrees that these clots are something brand-new.”

As I wrote in my latest book, “Birth Pains: An Introduction to Bible Prophecy” which is based on Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21, Jesus gave us some “signs” to look for which, like “birth pains,” will increase in “frequency and intensity,” as we get closer to His return. And so, I believe I can honestly say, “expect more of the same in 2023!”

Yes, dearly beloved in Christ, He is coming! Are you ready? Am I ready? We should be by watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes. And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, all you have to do to become one is: 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 (Joh 3:16). Believe me, you will be eternally grateful! Blessings, Doug (12/31/22)

A CLOSE CALL to WAR!

Good morning, blog readers, from Chicago where our family celebrated my wife’s birthday yesterday! What a blessing!

This recent headline from Reuters really got my attention this morning: “Chinese Jet Came Within Ten Feet of U.S. Aircraft!”

In the article, Idrees Ali reported: “A Chinese military plane came within 10 feet (another article said 20) of a U.S. aircraft in the contested South China Sea last week and forced it to take evasive maneuvers to avoid a collision in international airspace, the U.S. military said on Thursday.” Talk about a “close call” to war! Remember, Jesus said, in Matthew 24:6, “You will hear of wars and rumors of war, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.”

As many of you know, this year we have already seen a “rumor of war” (Russia threatening to invade Ukraine) turn into a “war” with Russia going to war with Ukraine. And now, this “near miss” between Chinese and U.S. aircraft. Could this “near miss” be like a “rumor” which will turn into a “war” between the U.S. and China? Stay tuned!

As I have said before, based on Ezekiel 38-39, I believe (and I could be wrong), Russia and a host of other nations, including Iran, will, at some time in the future, leave a war (Ukraine?) and go down to Israel to “take a spoil,” that is, something Israel has that Russia and her allies need. The result: The Lord God Himself will set a trap, lure the invaders down to Israel, then destroy them Himself. And, if you don’t believe me, read it for yourself in Ezekiel 38-39.

Yes, dearly beloved in Christ, these are both scary and exciting times, as we see Bible prophecy unfolding before our eyes. And, even though I believe in a pre-trib “rapture of the church,” I also believe (and I could be wrong) we will still be around to see some of Bible prophecy fulfilled in our lifetime.

And, while we may disagree about the timing of future events, we should all, as Christians, agree Jesus is coming. And, as a result, 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, be thankful you haven’t died and are not yet in hell for eternity, and 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 with love and prayers, Doug (12/30/22)

TELLING the TRUTH!

Good morning, blog readers, from dark and mild (44 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: a hawk! Thank You, Jesus!

This headline from the October, 2022 Finance Mail and Dr. Joseph Mercola really got my attention this morning:

“Jeffrey Sachs: “I’m Not Pessimistic for Telling the Truth.”

Now, if you’re like me, you have no idea who Jeffrey Sachs is. According to Dr. Mercola, he “is a world-renowned economics professor and global leader in sustainable development. So, when he speaks, people who know him not only take note of what he has to say, but take him seriously.

It was quite disturbing, then, for Sachs to learn that key world leaders, including the White House, wouldn’t listen to him when he said it was ill-advised to open NATO to just anyone or to get too involved in the Russian-Ukraine conflict.

Sachs continued: “I’ve just never seen anything so reckless and I have no confidence in the U.S. government, no confidence in what we’re doing to head this off, because they’re dead set on, uh, doing whatever it takes,” he says. “That’s why they say all the time, ‘whatever it takes to win this for Ukraine, since I don’t think Russia is going to lose this war short of nuclear war, to my mind we’re on a recipe of continued escalation.” This isn’t pessimism he says. It’s simply acknowledging the truth for what it is. We’re coming closer to nuclear war, and if we don’t stop and listen, we may just end up destroying the world.”

Now, while I agree with some of what Professor Sachs said, I also know what God says in His Word about the end of the world. First of all, the Lord Jesus tells us, in His Word, He is coming again to judge the world and set up His kingdom on earth. And, before He comes, He also gave us some “signs” to look for: false Christs, prophets, miracles, wars and rumors of war, persecution of the believers in Jesus, apostasy (falling away from the truth faith in Christ), an increase of lawlessness, the spreading of the gospel around the whole world and even signs in the sun, the moon and the stars (Matthew 24, Mark, 13, Luke 21). And, He also told us the “signs of His coming” would be like “birth pains,” meaning, as we get closer to His return, the “signs” will increase in frequency and intensity.

As I have said before, I believe (not all believers in Jesus do) we may live to see two possible wars: a Psalm 83 war between Israel and her Muslim neighbors and a Russian-led invasion of Israel “to take a spoil” (Ezekiel 38-39) which, by the way, will end with the Lord Himself destroying Russia and her allies. And, since no one, including the U.S., goes to Israel’s defense, my thought is that the U.S. has either been weakened or destroyed. Stay tuned!

If you are a believer in Jesus, don’t let the enemy or his demons distract or discourage you. Instead, be “aware of his schemes and put on the whole armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil (Ephesians 6:10-17). 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 Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) Who died on a cross for your sins was buried and raised from the dead to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (I Corinthians 15:1-4); John 3:16. Blessings, Doug (12/29/22) P.S. Happy birthday, Judy!

THE BRAIN-COMPUTER INTERFACE!

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and “balmy” (26 degrees) Wisconsin where I did not walk this morning, but did yesterday and saw: 3 bunnies, 3 deer and 2 dogs!

The above headline and article from today’s “Technocracy News,” really got my attention this morning. The TN Editor reported: “Beware the dangers of transhumanism and the merging of human flesh and technology. Don’t expect transhumanism to be aligned with any political ideology, whether left or right. It is apolitical and very closely aligned with Technocracy. BCI is only one aspect; genetic engineering is another.

Neuralink is ready to stick chips in humans. Synchron and Blackrock Neurotech have already done it-as have many others. People talk about brain implants as if they’re an imagined behavior in the distant future. This is a misconception. Hardwired trodes already exist, they’re more widespread than you think, and they’ll only be more prevalent as time goes on.

Today’ it’s an iPhone 14 under the Xmas tree. Come the Singularity, transhumanists hope and pray, it will be an iTrode 666 in your cerebral cortex. Could this be the so-called “mark of the beast” from Revelation 13:16-18? Stay tuned!

Now, granted, we will not know “the day or the hour” of the Lord’s return (Mark 13:32). But, I do believe we will know the “season of His return,” based on the convergence of the signs, as Jesus told us, in Luke 21:28, “But when these things (the “signs” Jesus gave us in Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21) begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

Now, I don’t know about you, but the worse I feel, the more I want the Lord to come. Right now, I kind of feel useless and keep asking the Lord to show me His will. Please pray with me that I will not waste any of His precious time, but “redeem the time for the days are evil” (Ephesians 5:16).

Dearly beloved in Christ, may we 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 to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (I Corinthians 15:1-4; John 3:16). Blessings with love and prayers, Doug (12/28/22)

MADE in CHINA/AMERICA!

Over the last number of years, I have been writing about the so-called “kings from the east” which the apostle John mentions in Revelation 16:12-16, as heading to Megiddo, along with the other surviving nations of the world, for the so-called end-time “Battle of Armageddon.”

And, if you’ve been following my blogs, you will know I have also written about a future Russian-led invasion of Israel, along with Iran, Turkey, Libya and a host of other nations who will come against a defenseless Israel, to “take a spoil” from the Israelis. And, even though the Israelis are outnumbered and outgunned, the Lord God Himself will come to Israel’s defense with “a great earthquake, causing the mountains and walls to collapse, a sword (war), torrential rain, hailstones, fire, brimstone and pestilence to destroy Israel’s enemies. You can read “the rest of the story” in Ezekiel 39 which precedes the Millennial Kingdom and the return of Christ to set up that kingdom (Ezekiel 40-48).

That brings me to the following headline from today’s Gatestone Institute: “Biden Opens Door to China Sabotage in North Dakota!” Gordon G. Chang: reported: “The Biden administration just cleared a Chinese company to own 370 acres of land within 12 miles of Grand Forks Air Force Base in Grand Forks, North Dakota. As a result, China will be able to use a proposed $700 million corn milling plant on the site to spy on military communications and even disrupt them. In Beijing, they must be shaking their heads in disbelief …” Talk about dumb!

The failure to include all military installations in the implementing regulations was a clear case of regulatory malpractice. As a result of these enormous mistakes, Fufeng USA, a subsidiary of a Shandong province-based agribusiness giant, is, at least for the moment, free to build its wet corn and biofermentation plant in Grand Forks.”

Chang continues: “The worst case scenario involves active sabotage of operations at the Grand Forks facility. Should the US and China end up in a shooting war over, say Taiwan, Fufeng’s property near the Air Force Base could be used to send malicious signals to jam passing satellites or disrupt the operation of drones. “We have made ourselves vulnerable on our own territory.’ Brandon Weichert, author of Winning Space: How America Remains a Superpower.'”

As I have said before (and I could be wrong), the USA seems to have lost its way both physically and spiritually and will, most likely, be destroyed or weakened by our enemies in the days, weeks, months and years to come. Stay tuned!

So, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping 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 Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) Who died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). Believe me, you will be eternally grateful. Blessings, Doug (12/27/22)
