Prophecy Update: There is No Climate Emergency! - By Daymond Duck - https://www.raptureready.com/2023/08/26/no-climate-emergency-by-daymond-duck/
In the summer of 2022, a group of scientists and professionals connected to the study of the climate started seeking signatures on a document that states that there is no climate emergency. Climate change supporters quickly started saying the document is “anti-science,” “the work of uninformed people,” “untruthful,” and things like that. On Aug. 16, 2023, The New American reported that now more than 1,600 scientists and professionals, including two Nobel Prize winners and experts from MIT, Princeton, and other notable institutions around the world, have signed the document. Some of the things in the document these universally recognized men signed are (in their words and mine):
One signer of the document, Dr. H. Sterling Burnett of the Heartland Institute, said, “Most (supporters of climate change) are profiting in terms of money or power from the so-called climate crisis.” Here is a link to the article: Nobel Prize-winner Clauser Signs “There Is No Climate Emergency” Declaration – The New American If these distinguished scientists are right, those that are shutting down jobs in the coal, gas, and oil industries; trying to force citizens to buy electric vehicles, walk to work, or ride a bicycle; trying to force citizens to go hungry, starve, or eat bugs, crickets, worms, and fake meat; trying to censor the truth; putting citizens off their farms and out of business; killing cattle, etc., for money or power should be prosecuted. (More: On Aug. 17, 2023, it was reported that Patrick Moore, Co-founder of Greenpeace, said achieving net zero in carbon emissions “is a death wish in disguise.” He added that “if we actually achieve net zero, at least 50 percent of the population would die of hunger and disease.” One aspect of the plan to achieve net zero involves a reduction in the use of nitrogen-based fertilizers, but a reduction in the use of nitrogen-based fertilizers will result in a reduction in food production and an increase in hunger, starvation, famine, and pestilence as in the four horsemen of the Apocalypse.) (My opinion: The main goal of the most powerful climate change supporters is to establish a godless New World Order. Another goal is to reduce the population of the earth. We are truly living in perilous times when deceit and the wickedness of man is great, as foretold by Jesus and Paul, and as it was in the days of Noah.) Here are some recent current events that seem to indicate that history is close to the Rapture and Tribulation Period. One, concerning climate change: in an interview on Aug. 14, 2023, Alberta, Canada Premier Danielle Smith was asked if climate change is the cause of “the unusually rampant wildfire season in Alberta this year.” Smith replied, “All I know is in my province, we have 650 fires, and 500 of them were human-caused.” I don’t know who is doing it, but I find it interesting that Canada’s globalist puppet Prime Min. Trudeau wants to pass a bill to make Canada’s power grid carbon neutral by 2050, Smith opposes it, someone has started a lot of fires in her province, and it is often blamed on climate change. (FYI: I have seen several articles and a video suggesting that the wildfire in Maui was deliberately set because globalists want the property to turn the city into a 15-minute city, and the owners would not sell. According to the reports, destroying the houses and businesses allows the government to seize the property for their Build Back Better campaign. There have been complaints that the fire sirens never sounded; firefighters were called off and told the fire was under control; some citizens started protecting their property by watering it down, and then the water was suddenly turned off; police set up roadblocks that caused traffic jams and prevented people from escaping; some citizens jumped into the ocean, but the police boats were not used to rescue them; children were sent home from school to empty houses with no parents and some died; people sent food and supplies to help the victims, but the government hasn’t delivered some of them, etc. Why would officials silence the sirens, call off the firefighters, turn off the water, block the roads, not rescue people during a fire, and not deliver aid to the victims? These questions need to be answered. On Aug. 21, 2023, it was reported that 850 people are still missing; the number of confirmed deaths is 114, and still increasing.) Two, concerning Jerusalem: in his Aug. 10-17 weekly newsletter, Bible prophecy teacher Amir Tsarfati said Israel’s Foreign Ministry has announced that Paraguay will open its embassy in Jerusalem this year. Three, Concerning Jewish worship on the Temple Mount: on Aug. 8, 2023, a group of Jewish rabbis and former members of the Israeli Knesset sent a letter to the Israeli Min. of National Security requesting that they be allowed to blow the shofar (a trumpet made from a ram’s horn) and pray on the Temple Mount on Rosh Hashanah (sundown Sept. 16 to sundown Sept. 18 in Israel this year). Blowing the shofar and praying are mandated in the Torah (Num. 29:1). Here is a link to the article: Advocacy group petitions Ben-Gvir to blow shofar on Temple Mount on Rosh Hashanah – Israel365 News (FYI: I do not know if it is true, but I have read that some scholars believe Abraham made the first shofar from one of the ram’s horns that he sacrificed on Mt. Moriah as a substitute for his only begotten son Isaac; Gen. 22:11-18. That story is real, but it is a picture of the future substitutionary death and resurrection of Jesus. Also, be aware that Mt. Moriah and the Temple Mt. are one and the same.) (FYI: God told the Jews to observe seven feasts: Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Weeks or Pentecost, Atonement, and Tabernacles; Lev. 23. The first three feasts picture the gospel: the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. The fourth feast pictures the beginning of the Church: Pentecost. Some, not all, believe the last three feasts – Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles – picture the Rapture, Second Coming, and Millennium.) (FYI: Some believe Ex. 19:1-19 pictures the Rapture, and the voice of a trumpet that sounded long and waxed louder and louder pictures the last trump at the Rapture; I Cor. 15:51-52.) (Caution: A few excellent Bible prophecy teachers are cautiously expressing their opinion that they believe the Rapture could—could—not will—happen on Rosh Hashanah in Sept. of this year. All the signs are beginning to come to pass, and I hope it does, but be careful because we do not know that it will. It may, and it may not. I like what the great Liberty Univ. Professor Dr. Ed Hindson used to say: Do not waste your time trying to guess the time. Jesus can come anytime, so be ready all the time.) Four, concerning the Mark of the Beast and tracking of all buying and selling: it was recently reported that the New York Mets and the Cleveland Guardians (formerly the Cleveland Indians) baseball teams have started using face scans and digital IDs for entry into their home baseball games. And the Philadelphia Phillies will start using them on Aug. 21, 2023. According to the report, if enough fans voluntarily sign up for Philadelphia’s face scan and ID system, the program will become mandatory at every MLB park in the next couple of years, and fans will not be allowed to attend games unless they are in it. Five, concerning deceit and the decline of America: on Aug. 19, 2023, it was reported that the U.S. had more than three hundred million dollars worth of supplies that the Trump administration bought with taxpayer money to build a wall on America’s border with Mexico. In July 2023, the U.S. Senate (Republicans and Democrats) passed a bill to force the Biden administration to use the supplies or give them to states like Texas to build a wall. Next, the bill must be passed in the Republican-led house before it can go into effect, and that seems to be a done deal. However, the Biden administration started selling the supplies for pennies on the dollar before he is forced to build more wall or let the states build more wall. Our open border allows the terrorists, drug cartels, sex traffickers, criminals, and spies to keep coming, and Biden continues to say our border is secure. Six, Concerning the Antichrist confirming (strengthening) a seven-year covenant that will begin the Tribulation Period (Dan. 9:27): it is looking more and more like that is shaping up. For one thing, UN Sec. Gen. Guterres has scheduled a meeting for Sept. 18-19 to push world leaders to commit to “seven years of accelerated, sustained, and transformative action, both nationally and internationally, to deliver on the promise of the SDGs” (Sustainable Development Goals that are in essence the creation of a world government). In my words, Guterres wants world leaders to agree (to make a covenant) to speed up the development of a world government by making more and faster changes over the next seven years. In addition to that, many Bible prophecy teachers believe the Abraham Accords could lead to a covenant of peace in the Middle East, but Saudi Arabia must become a member, and Israel must make some concessions to Palestinians for that to happen. It is now being reported that the Biden administration wants to conclude a deal by March 2024 (or at least in the next 9-12 months), is pushing Saudi Arabia and Israel to act, and some favorable comments have come out of both sides. To summarize, the UN (many) wants a seven-year agreement for the establishment of a world government, and Israel and Saudi Arabia may be making progress on normalizing their relations at some point in 2024. (My opinion: It seems very unlikely that these two major things would be taking place at the same time unless history is getting close to the confirmation of the seven-year covenant.) (FYI: Understand that the UN voting to commit to bringing in a world government in seven years is one thing, and the Antichrist confirming (or strengthening) an existing seven-year covenant is another thing. The UN can vote for it in Sept., but the Antichrist can sign it any time during the seven years or later.) Seven, concerning a population reduction on earth: on Aug. 17, 2023, it was reported that an Oxford Univ. professor with ties to the World Economic Forum (WEF) said falling birthrates in the West are “good for the planet.” The False Prophet and Antichrist will reduce the population of the earth during the Tribulation Period by beheading those that refuse to take the Mark of the Beast. Eight, concerning the decline of America: many Christians know that God promised to bless those that bless Israel and to curse those that curse Israel (Gen. 12:1-3). On Aug. 18, 2023, it was reported that candidate for the 2024 Republican nomination for Pres. of the U.S., Vivek Ramaswamy, promised to cut back on America’s aid to Israel if he is elected Pres. America’s attitude toward Israel impacts God’s attitude toward America. Nine, concerning the days of Lot: on June 16, 2023, the Los Angeles Dodgers brought in “The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” (a group of transgender men that pretend to be Catholic nuns, mock the Church, mock the resurrection of Jesus, etc.) to celebrate Dodger Pride Night at the baseball stadium. On Aug. 20, 2023, a 5.1 earthquake and several aftershocks struck just north of Los Angeles, and an exceedingly rare tropical storm (the first to strike So. Cal. in 84 years) dumped heavy rain on California, flood water surrounded the stadium, and the Dodgers game with the Miami Marlins could not be played. One writer called the earthquakes, tropical storm, flooding, and resulting mudslides “Biblical.” FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6). Finally, are you Rapture Ready? If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this. [email protected] New Lockdowns: “Battening Down the Hatches” – Terry James - https://terryjamesprophecyline.com/2023/08/27/new-lockdowns-battening-down-the-hatches/ A couple of weeks ago in my blog article, “Looking Up While Locking Down,” I attempted to foster a bit of comfort. I tried to make the point that while we see the powerful and wicked minions, both human and demonic, going all out to bring all people on the planet into global gulag, we can know that Jesus’ call to believers in the Rapture must certainly be drawing near. Surely we are in the time of Luke 21:28, because we’ve been seeing “all these things come to pass” for quite some time. Jesus said when we see all of these things, we are to “look up,” for our Redemption–Jesus, Himself—will be drawing near. Paul told us we should “take comfort” in anticipation of that glorious event. For those who are “watching” as Jesus admonished (Mark 13:37), the evidence is literally in every direction on the prophetic horizon. All of the signals are converging—in a proliferation of end-times signals that hasn’t happened before. So there is every reason to be “looking up” as Jesus instructed those two thousand years ago when He was sitting atop the Mount of Olives. And now the ominous reports are beginning to come forth, as if they’re paving the way to prepare for the minions’ next major attempt at bringing the populations of earth under the lockdowns that are obviously a part of the blueprint for the Great Reset. It is all within the Luciferian scheme the World Economic Forum and other Ephesians 6:12 powers and principalities intend to implement in establishing their New World Order. Apparently, this September through December is the time they plan to again bring about the lockdowns that were successful in their previous such wicked, freedom-robbing test to see who would and would not comply. The following somewhat gives a heads-up on what we might be facing before this year is out. The Biden regime is preparing to reinstate full COVID-19 lockdowns, beginning with masking mandates for TSA and airport employees reportedly as early as mid-September, Infowars first to report. A high-level TSA official reached out to Infowars, detailing a Tuesday meeting where TSA managers were informed of new memorandums and policies that would reimplement mask-wearing. These policies will reinstate the mask mandate for TSA and airport employees starting in mid-September. According to the TSA official, further details on how the policy will escalate will be provided next week. The official added that by mid-October, mask-wearing will be mandated for pilots, flight staff, passengers, and all airport patrons… [A trusted Border Patrol source] corroborated the directives, confirming that similar measures were being planned for Border Patrol personnel. “They were told it was not a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’ official Covid numbers will go back up and they expect by mid-October a return to forced-masking policies that the Biden administration previously only reluctantly ended after massive pressure. (“Biden Regime to Reinstate COVID-19 Restrictions Beginning with Mask Mandate as COVID Cases Rise, Say TSA and Border Patrol Whistleblowers,” Jim Hauft , Gateway Pundit, August 19, 2023) The lockdowns are apparently going to be used to again influence the US presidential elections in their favor—i.e., steal the election. As we’ve said many times, America must be brought into compliance with the globalists’ plans. This nation is the holdup to their Great Reset blueprint implementation. They can’t allow an administration that believes in national sovereignty and borders to win as did Trump in 2016. Their plans were upset then, and they are doing all within their power to prevent Mr. Trump or anyone who puts national interests above globalist interests to again attain power. So, while they think they are locking down America and the world’s populations, they are, in nautical terminology, battening down the hatches for a storm, the likes of which they cannot survive. It will be that great Tribulation storm Jesus said will be the worst time in human history. Considering that all flesh except for Noah, his family, and the animals aboard the Ark was completely destroyed in the Flood of Noah’s day, Jesus’ description—followed up by His presentation in Revelation, is indeed a terrifying forecast! Jesus said: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. (Matthew 24:21) There will be no battening down of the hatches…no place to find safety during that future Tribulation storm on earth. You don’t want to be here during those seven years of hell on earth. Here is how to go to the safety of Heaven when the Lord Jesus calls His own from this judgment-bound sphere: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:9–10) Prophecy Update Videos Must Watch Videos! Videos You Can Trust

He is to urge God’s people to live faithfully and warn them of any risks that may tempt them to take their focus off the Lord (Ezekiel 33:7). With that said, let me ask you three questions:
NFC Tags Near Field Communication technology, called NFC tags for short, is being used in many daily activities, often without people realizing they have this technology at their fingertips. Anyone with a smartphone has NFC technology built in. For example, anyone who uses systems such as Apple Pay uses NFC technology. NFC tags allow technology to communicate without the need for an internet connection. Businesses have been using this technology for a while. Kraft Foods have used NFC tags to provide instant coupons, special offers, and product information directly on their packaging. While shopping, they have made it easy to download Kraft’s iFood Assistant app and see recipes, generate shopping lists, and buy more of their products. Designers have used NFC tags for security and to authenticate their brands. But now consumers have found that having NFC tags embedded in their clothing allows them to do tasks such as turning their phone to silent during important meetings. Arrow shirts have placed an NFC tag on the cuff, and by tapping your phone on your cuff, you can complete such tasks as sending someone your business card, changing the music on your cell phone, and sharing a Facebook link. Nail salons are starting to embed the NFC nail tag onto customers’ nails, allowing them to have the same technology abilities at their fingertips. Couples who want to take their wedding announcements to the next technological level now have options. Wedding invitations are now available using NFC technology, and by doing so, couples can send out wedding announcements embedded with video, audio, and pictures. NFC technology is becoming so common you can buy a lot of NTAG215 Blank NFC Cards on Amazon or eBay. These cards store over 500 bytes of memory, are waterproof, and give you access and convenience. You can turn home systems and appliances on or off with these cards. You have instant access to event tickets, you can store personal information, and the NFC tag can be used for cashless payments. Credit cards, smartphones, store shelves, clothing, and nail salons. What is the next innovation in wearable technology? How about the human body? The medical field has been a driving force behind this new renaissance, taking digital technology directly to the human body. Digital Tattoos A digital tattoo can allow medical professionals to monitor one’s blood sugar level or patient blood pressure. The University of California San Diego also has developed a “lab on the skin.” This wearable device can monitor glucose levels and things like alcohol and lactate levels. This is applied directly to the skin and sends data wirelessly to a custom smartphone app. Taking the possibilities of the digital tattoo further, the Motorola Corporation launched the digital tattoo for its Moto X handset. The digital tattoo sticker unlocks the smartphone without the need for a password. With this development, a digital tattoo has more potential than only medical purposes. A digital tattoo can be used for both good and evil. The concern is if our culture adapts and accepts the digital tattoo for everyday activities such as buying and selling, how far of a leap will it be to the open acceptance of the Mark of the Beast!? “The Great Narrative” a Sequel to “The Great Reset” The World Economic Forum Founder and Executive Chairman Klaus Schwab and his co-author Thierry Malleret released their new book, The Great Narrative. The Great Narrative is phase two of the Great Reset. This book encapsulates the Davos Vision and explores how we can shape a “constructive, common narrative for the future.” The book describes how we can “create a more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable future.” Our world is putting the technology the Antichrist will use to control and dominate the world into the hands of people willing and able to develop and launch the Antichrist system. Synthetic Biology The World Economic Forum, in its book The Great Narrative for a Better Future, explains:
In this book, written by Klaus Schwab, the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, says: “We will re-engineer biological systems. We are at the dawn of the genetic revolution. We now understand how to rewrite the genetic code” (page 102). Rewriting the genetic code is what they call synthetic biology, and they say it delivers on its promise. AI and Warfare Schwab explains: “Cybercrime and cyberattacks occur in the digital realm, without shots being fired or bombs being launched. This is fundamentally different from modern warfare, which is fast becoming cyber, combining deadly forces with digital capabilities” (page 100). Drones can be used for military purposes. Countries can now use this technology to protect their borders. But understand, on the evil side; drones can also be used to target the civilian population. In March 2021, the United Nations confirmed that for the first time, military-grade autonomous drones could fly to specific locations, pick their targets, and kill without deploying any humans on the battlefield. Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) According to the Great Narrative, which is phase two of the Great Reset, “The Network for Greening the Financial System is a group of 91 central banks committed to mobilizing mainstream finance to support the transition towards a sustainable economy” (page 125). What does that mean? It means central banks will now adopt their policies around what will be considered climate-related risks. The World Economic Forum is playing around with the concept of “carbon quantitative easing,”’ meaning having central banks create a “carbon coin” and paying companies to keep carbon in the earth. Quantitative Easing If you remember, Quantitative Easing, or QE, was a financial strategy central banks, such as the Federal Reserve, used during the Great Recession of 2008. The Federal Reserve purchased large amounts of securities, such as mortgage-backed securities. They made these purchases by simply printing more money. When a central bank prints money, the supply of dollars increases, which could lead to inflation. From 2008 to 2014, the Federal Reserve completed three rounds of Quantitative Easing. Now central banks are committing to mobilizing again. Morality and Values In The Great Narrative, the World Economic Forum is saying we must reconsider the role of morality and values in our lives and re-evaluate how they (morals and values) affect our behavior and decision-making. Seriously?! “We cannot do things the way we normally do them and must reflect on the values that guide us. This is what the idea of COVID-19: The Great Reset was premised upon: change is always painful. This requires a re-examination of the role of morality and values. How critical are they, and how can they best inform our decisions and calls for action?” (page 135) Well, what do you think? Does synthetic biology, AI and warfare, a greener financial system, morals, and values sound like things we should be concerned about? Should we be willing to turn these areas of life over to technology for convenience or to make life easier, supposedly? There is now a movement working around the clock to install the Antichrist system, and so far, the sheep are cheering this plan on. The sheep are lining up excited to implement new technology, oblivious that the wolf is watching and ready to pounce! It’s time to sound the alarm! The world is being set up for a perilous deception. 10 Signs That U.S. Culture Is Being Turned Completely Upside Down - by Michael Snyder - http://endoftheamericandream.com/10-signs-that-u-s-culture-is-being-turned-completely-upside-down/ They wanted to fundamentally transform America, and they have succeeded. So now instead of a “Leave It To Beaver” society, we have a society where literally anything goes. Our families are disintegrating, traditional moral values have been completely discarded, our young people are running wild in the streets, crime is totally out of control, and our system of government is melting down right in front of our eyes. So what is going to happen to our once great nation if things just continue to get even worse? Our politicians like to tell us that “America is great because America is good”. But the truth is that America stopped being good a long time ago. The following are 10 signs that U.S. culture is being turned completely upside down… #1 It has finally happened. The elite have such disdain for the choices of average Americans that some of them are starting to float the idea that elections should be eliminated. The following comes from an article that the New York Times published just last week that was originally entitled “Elections Are Bad for Democracy”… On the eve of the first debate of the 2024 presidential race, trust in government is rivaling historic lows. Officials have been working hard to safeguard elections and assure citizens of their integrity. But if we want public office to have integrity, we might be better off eliminating elections altogether. If you think that sounds anti-democratic, think again. The ancient Greeks invented democracy, and in Athens many government officials were selected through sortition — a random lottery from a pool of candidates. In the United States, we already use a version of a lottery to select jurors. What if we did the same with mayors, governors, legislators, justices and even presidents? #2 The war on the family continues to escalate, and it is now being projected that 45 percent of all U.S. women in their “prime working years” will be single and childless in 2030… We’re told by our culture that a woman who is unmarried and has no children is empowered and in charge of her own life. She has escaped the unnecessary burden of raising a family and being a slave to her husband. At least, that’s what our society has convinced us. Sadly, many women have adopted the modern feminist lifestyle and have chosen to sleep around, abort their baby if they unexpectedly get pregnant, and swear off marriage. But these cultural trends are going to have a tremendous impact on the future of American society. Morgan Stanley estimates that 45% of women in their “prime working years” (ages 25 to 44) will be single and childless by the time 2030 arrives. #3 Theft is going to cost U.S. retailers more than 100 billion dollars this year, and at this point organized retail crime has become such a crisis that even Dollar Tree is being forced to take drastic measures… The company, which runs Dollar Tree and Family Dollar, has “several new shrink formats” that it intends to roll out in the final six months of the year, CEO Rick Dreiling said in the morning. “Shrink” typically means theft and other types of inventory losses in the retail industry. “It goes everything from moving certain SKUs [stock-keeping units] to behind the check stand,” he explained to those who tuned into the company’s earnings call. “It has to do with some cases being locked up. And even to the point where we have some stores that can’t keep a certain SKU on the shelf just discontinuing the item.” #4 When I was young, I actually applied to go to school at Yale. At that time, it was one of the most prestigious universities in the entire world. Unfortunately, at this point violent crime in the city of New Haven is off the charts… Yale University is rushing to reassure freshman students and parents after the school’s police union, which in the midst of contract negotiations, distributed flyers with stark warnings about high crime in New Haven, Connecticut — complete with a graphic of a grim reaper. They warned incoming students to avoid walking alone and avoid public transport. Forget night life: Student should stay in their dorms and “off the streets after 8 PM.” Presented by the Yale Police Benevolent Association as “A Survival Guide for First-Year Students of Yale University,” the flyers were distributed on freshman move-in day. “The incidence of crime and violence in New Haven is shockingly high, and it is getting worse,” the flyers warned. “During the seven month period ending July 23, 2023, murders have doubled, burglaries are up 33% and motor vehicle thefts are up 56%.” #5 One man in Texas was just “forcibly removed” from a school board meeting for reading a book that had actually been available in the libraries of that school district… A man was forcibly removed from a Tuesday school board meeting by law enforcement while reading a passage from a sexually explicit LGBT book that was previously available in the district’s libraries. Mike Cee was escorted out of a Fort Worth Independent School District board meeting this week when he began reading vulgar passages from the book “Flamer” by Mike Curato. Curato’s book is described as a “semi-autobiographical graphic novel” set in 1995 that follows the story of a child named Aiden as he “navigates friendships, deals with bullies, and spends time with Elias (a boy he can’t stop thinking about), he finds himself on a path of self-discovery and acceptance.” #6 It seems like there is a mass shooting somewhere in America almost every day now. The latest incident just occurred in the city of Jacksonville, Florida… Terrifying video shows the moment a crazed, racist gunman enters a Jacksonville Dollar General armed with an AR-15 and then shoots dead three people in a racially-motivated attack. The gunman was identified as Ryan Palmeter, 21, police confirmed on Sunday. They also detailed a manifesto he left behind, calling it the ‘diary of a madman.’ Palmeter used an assault rifle covered in Nazi swastikas in the deadly assault on Saturday before turning the gun on himself, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. #7 Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is admitting that vehicle theft is completely out of control in his city, but instead of going after the thieves he has filed a lawsuit against Kia and Hyundai… Democratic Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s office announced that the city filed the lawsuit against automakers Kia and Hyundai, alleging that both companies have failed to include “industry-standard engine immobilizers” in several models of vehicles, which resulted in a “steep rise” in crime. “The impact of car theft on Chicago residents can be deeply destabilizing, particularly for low- to middle-income workers who have fewer options for getting to work and taking care of their families,” Johnson said. “The failure of Kia and Hyundai to install basic auto-theft prevention technology in these models is sheer negligence, and as a result, a citywide and nationwide crime spree around automobile theft has been unfolding right before our eyes.” #8 Instead of cracking down on crime, federal law enforcement authorities are using their resources to raid Amish cattle farmers… “They came with a search warrant,” softly spoke Samuel B. Fisher, a mild-mannered cattle farmer operating a 100-acre farm tucked away in Virginia’s heartland. Fisher’s bread-and-butter, Golden Valley Farms, carves out the scenic countryside that’s a hop, skip, and a jump away from historic Farmville, a postcard-perfect small Southern town with classical Main Street charm. The father of five had graciously invited us down to his idyllic pasture to rehash the whirlwind of unforeseen events that unfolded over the cruel summer. It was a tumultuous time on the Fisher farm, an upheaval that threatened to upend the man’s livelihood. “Then, they tagged the meat, so that we can’t touch it; we can’t sell it; we can’t feed our family with it,” Fisher told Townhall. #9 The number of transgender surgeries in the United States nearly tripled in just a three year period… Transgender surgeries nearly tripled in the United States between 2016 and 2019, with breast and chest procedures accounting for 56.6 percent of all operations, results of a study published Wednesday in the JAMA Network Open show. Close behind was genital reconstruction, making up 35.1 percent, followed by facial and cosmetic procedures at 13.9 percent. The greatest number of procedures overall were undergone by women, 19- to 30-year-olds, people with private insurance, and people with higher incomes. Most procedures occurred in the West and were performed in urban teaching hospitals. #10 Joe Biden is asking Congress for money for a new shot, and he is admitting that it “will likely be recommended everybody get it no matter whether they’ve gotten it before or not”… Biden, who is vacationing in the Lake Tahoe area, was asked by a reporter on Friday if he could say anything about the uptick of COVID cases and a new variant. “Yes, I can,” the president said. “I signed off this morning on a proposal we have to present to Congress a request for additional funding for a new vaccine that is necessary, that works.” He added, “Tentatively it is recommended that it will likely be recommended everybody get it no matter whether they’ve gotten it before or not.” Our society is going to continue to change. Nothing can stop that. But the direction of the change can be altered. Those that have been transforming our culture are just going to keep on doing what they have been doing, and all that it is going to take for them to succeed is for good people to stand by and do nothing. Daily Jot: When unconditional hate meets unconditional love - Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com Christ said in Matthew 24:9, “you shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.” And so it is. Disciples of Christ are hated, yet as Christians we are commanded to love one another as he loved us and as we love ourselves. This is an unconditional love. While many can argue that the one condition is acceptance of Christ, it can also be argued that God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life—that Christ came not to condemn the world, but that through him the world might be saved. While the condition of being saved is to believe on Christ, the love of Christ is unconditional. There is also unconditional hate. Unconditional hate, in my opinion, is the absence of God. It is the result of a spiritual condition where the darkness of evil roams as a principality over the hearts of men. Unconditional hate cannot be cured in the natural. It is the hate that cannot be abated through reasoning and logic. Christians and Jews are hated often unconditionally, without rational reason—at least in man’s understanding. Those called to love and to practice love to one another, their neighbors, their community might be rationally hated because of prejudice or fear (which can be reasoned out and set to rest), but unconditional hatred appears to have no reason and cannot be reasoned with. It’s the kind of hate that belies explanation. The example in the Bible of unconditional hate is found in the story of the grandson of Esau, Amalek, and the Amalekites. In Deuteronomy 25:17-18, Moses addresses the Israelites, saying, “Remember what Amalek did to you by the way when you were coming out of Egypt. How he met you by the way, and smote the hindmost of you, even all that were feeble behind you, when you were faint and weary and he feared not God.” The Jewish Encyclopedia describes Amalek as “A kinsman of the Israelites, Amalek nevertheless displayed the most intense hatred toward them: he inherited Esau’s hostility to his brother Jacob. When other nations hesitated to harm God’s chosen ones, his evil example induced them to join him in the fray.” It is for this unconditional hatred that God causes his people to “blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.” Applying this example to today, we can see the spirit of unconditional hate coming from the godless. They are the ones who say “Hate doesn’t live here,” but hate you if you disagree with them. They are those who say “We love the children,” but support killing them before birth and endangering them with sexual perversion. They are the ones who speak freedom, but demand tyranny. They are those of the godless who hate the light of God. The only cure is the unconditional love of God. Their only hope is unconditional love. Think about it. When unconditional hate meets unconditional love a condition will occur. The hate will continue or the love will prevail, giving testimony to the victory of God’s love over the irrationality of unconditional hate. Hate cannot be cured with hate. But God…And we are his ambassadors. Daily Devotion: A Christ-like Fragrance - by Greg Laurie – www.harvest.org Our lives are a Christ-like fragrance rising up to God. But this fragrance is perceived differently by those who are being saved and by those who are perishing. —2 Corinthians 2:15 https://harvest.org/resources/devotion/a-christ-like-fragrance/ - Listen Some people like to wear a lot of cologne or perfume. And if they hug you, you will still smell like them hours later. But what is fragrant to one person may not be fragrant to another. For instance, nothing smells better than when you walk into a kitchen where someone is making spaghetti sauce with garlic. And nothing smells worse than the breath of someone who just ate garlic. That is true of the gospel as well. The apostle Paul described it this way: “Our lives are a Christ-like fragrance rising up to God. But this fragrance is perceived differently by those who are being saved and by those who are perishing. To those who are perishing, we are a dreadful smell of death and doom. But to those who are being saved, we are a life-giving perfume” (2 Corinthians 2:15–16 NLT). Some churches have become a little too preoccupied with being the cook, and they’ve forgotten how important it is to confront people with the claims of Jesus Christ. Sometimes we have the delivery system in place, but we don’t have the message to deliver. And sometimes in our attempts to cross over, we fail to bring the cross over. But if we miss that, we have missed everything, because the gospel is the only hope for our nation and our world. It is the only hope for nonbelievers. When we share the message of the gospel, it will be a fragrant perfume to some. But to others it will be offensive and repulsive. Some people will respond favorably. And others will respond unfavorably. But we still need to share the message. We still need to use every means possible to get the gospel out to as many people as we can.
