SCROLL DOWN TO READ Separated from God - By Randy Nettles - https://www.raptureready.com/2021/02/06/separated-from-god-by-randy-nettles/ I believe we (Americans) are living in the equivalent of the times of ancient Judah when Manasseh came into power. Judah had previously enjoyed prosperity and relative peace during the righteous reign of their former king, Hezekiah. Now, I am not comparing Donald Trump to Hezekiah, as I do not consider Trump to be a particularly righteous person. However, he did what was right in regards to the betterment of his own people (Make America Great Again), as did King Hezekiah. On the other hand, Manasseh did what was right in his own eyes and did not care how it affected the people in a harmful way. “Manasseh did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out before the children of Israel” (2 Kings 21:1). Manasseh worshipped idols and the false god Baal instead of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He believed in human (children) sacrifice, as did the heathens in the land of Canaan, for he murdered his own son by making him pass through the fire. Manasseh was an occultist, as he dealt with spirits and wizards. “He wrought much wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger” (2 Kings 21:6). King Manasseh also shed very much innocent blood, as he killed and persecuted anybody who opposed him, be it prophets, priests, or princes. The Bible says he filled Jerusalem from one end to another with this blood. Likewise, I am not comparing the evilness of Manasseh to Joe Biden, as Biden is a mere pawn under the control of evil men, powers, and principalities. However, Biden and his administration (as well as the media, big tech., academia, and billionaire progressive elites) are doing what is right in their own eyes with no regard for the American people and our way of life. They are only interested in their goal of accomplishing a one-world government, currency, and religion. These progressive/socialist Democrats copy Manasseh’s evil policy of child sacrifice by passing laws such as Roe vs. Wade, making it legal to abort (murder) unborn babies (up to the time of birth). Yes, America has shed much innocent blood since 1973, from one end of America to the other. As I wrote about in “The Fullness of Sins – Part VI,” if you average the three kingdoms of Israel’s (12 united tribes of Israel, 10 tribes of Israel, and the kingdom of Judah) existence, you get 225 years. They had a total of 44 monarchs (43 kings and 1 queen) including Saul, David, and Solomon. In comparison, America has been a nation for 245 years and has had 45 different presidents (Grover Cleveland was elected to two non-consecutive terms). Manasseh worshipped idols instead of the living God as the New World Order elitists worship the false idols of power, money, sex, and control of the masses. Most of them are either atheists or occultists who worship the false god, Lucifer. Manasseh provoked the Lord to anger by not obeying God’s statutes and commandments, just as the current president of the U.S. and his administration are doing. For Manasseh’s and Judah’s evil actions, God declared, through his prophets, that He would destroy the kingdom of Judah. Will God judge America in a similar manner for our fullness of sins? “The office of prophet was instituted during the days of Samuel, the last of the judges. Prophets stood with the priests as God’s special representatives. The prophet’s role was to speak for God, confronting the people and their leaders with God’s commands and promises. Because of this confrontational stance and the continuing tendency of people to disobey God, true prophets usually were not very popular. But though their message often went unheeded, they faithfully and forcefully proclaimed the truth. The book of Isaiah is the first of the writings of the Prophets in the Bible; and Isaiah, the author, is generally considered to be the greatest prophet. He was probably reared in an aristocratic home and was married to a prophetess. In the beginning of his ministry, he was well liked. But, like most prophets, he soon became unpopular because his messages were so difficult to hear. He called the Jewish people to turn from their lives of sin and warned them of God’s judgment and punishment. Isaiah had an active ministry for 60 years (740 BC – 680 BC) before he was executed during Manasseh’s reign (according to tradition). As God’s special messenger to Judah, Isaiah prophesied during the reigns of several of its rulers, including Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, and Manasseh.” {1} Although Isaiah chapter 59 was written for the kingdom of Judah in regard to their rulers’ (kings, princes, priests, administrative assistants/elders, judges) great sins against their own citizens, Isaiah’s words are just as relevant to our present time here in America and the rest of the world. We are now facing the same tyranny, persecutions, restrictions, censorship, lawlessness, corruption, and evil (against God and humanity) as the ancient Israelites did under their governmental system. If you feel as I do, that there is no true justice administered these days (or it is prejudiced in favor of one side) for those who are guilty of crimes, falsehoods, slanders, and fake news, then read and meditate on Isaiah 59. God is not mocked. He will repay in His own time, for He is the ultimate judge and jury. Isaiah 59 Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear. For your hands are defiled with blood, And your fingers with iniquity; Your lips have spoken lies, Your tongue has muttered perversity. No one calls for justice, Nor does any plead for truth. They trust in empty words and speak lies; They conceive evil and bring forth iniquity. They hatch vipers’ eggs and weave the spider’s web; He who eats of their eggs dies, And from that which is crushed a viper breaks out. Their webs will not become garments, Nor will they cover themselves with their works; Their works are works of iniquity, And the act of violence is in their hands. Their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed innocent blood; Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; Wasting and destruction are in their paths. The way of peace they have not known, And there is no justice in their ways; They have made themselves crooked paths; Whoever takes that way shall not know peace. Sin Confessed Therefore justice is far from us, Nor does righteousness overtake us; We look for light, but there is darkness! For brightness, but we walk in blackness! We grope for the wall like the blind, And we grope as if we had no eyes; We stumble at noonday as at twilight; We are as dead men in desolate places. We all growl like bears, And moan sadly like doves; We look for justice, but there is none; For salvation, but it is far from us. For our transgressions are multiplied before You, And our sins testify against us; For our transgressions are with us, And as for our iniquities, we know them: In transgressing and lying against the Lord, And departing from our God, Speaking oppression and revolt, Conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. Justice is turned back, And righteousness stands afar off; For truth is fallen in the street, And equity cannot enter. So truth fails, And he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. The Redeemer of Zion Then the Lord saw it, and it displeased Him That there was no justice. He saw that there was no man, And wondered that there was no intercessor; Therefore His own arm brought salvation for Him; And His own righteousness, it sustained Him. For He put on righteousness as a breastplate, And a helmet of salvation on His head; He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, And was clad with zeal as a cloak. According to their deeds, accordingly He will repay, Fury to His adversaries, Recompense to His enemies; The coastlands He will fully repay. So shall they fear The name of the Lord from the west, And His glory from the rising of the sun; When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him. The Redeemer will come to Zion, And to those who turn from transgression in Jacob, Says the Lord.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. Randy Nettles nettlesr@suddenlink.net End notes: {1} Life Application Study Bible – Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. pg. 1310 The Purge - By Jan Markell – www.olivetreeviews.org The road ahead in America will be the greatest challenge ever for people of faith. The Godless Left is now in charge of our country: White House, House, and Senate. And these secularists are urging all leaders to stick it to people of faith. To take away every aspect of religious freedom. In their sights are churches, ministries, and individuals who refuse to see government as god. In May of 2017 in the Rose Garden, President Trump used his executive pen to ensure Christians and other people of faith don’t have to check their beliefs when entering the halls of government. He also prevented the federal government from going after pastors and other leaders who speak about political issues from a moral perspective. Four years of this environment was too much for secularists to tolerate. The Left wants people of faith to be targeted, bullied, and silenced. So, new on the scene to counter Christians is the organization Secular Democrats of America. They see Christians as a “Christian nationalist movement” giving cover for “white supremacy.” They insist that rather than faith, Americans employ “reason, science and evidence, and to disentangle government policy from the influence of sectarian religious interests that have become dangerously entrenched at all levels of government.” This outfit has a 28-page document urging the Biden Administration to strip First Amendment rights from Christians who advocate for traditional biblical positions on the sanctity of life, marriage, education, and the family. It encourages the purging of social conservatives from all levels of government. Christians are deemed enemies of the state. The document encourages that Christians be ostracized from society. A few extremists encourage sending Christians to re-education camps. This is today’s Progressive, yet some Christian leaders discouraged believers from even voting in the 2020 election, including Dr. John Piper. They were offended by the character of President Trump, but are okay with this new assault on every person who has faith. Beth Moore called Trumpism “dangerous to the saints of God.” Really?? And today’s Progressive movement is not? Are you folks deluded? Let’s go back to 2016 when Hillary Clinton stated that people with “deep-seated religious and cultural beliefs, cultural codes and structural biases have to be changed.” She was not challenged by anyone on the left. Do you think that a Chinese-supporting Biden Administration won’t welcome this challenge? Yes, elections have consequences, but that worn-out phrase is hardly a comfort. Yes, the Bible calls the last days “perilous.” Yes, Romans 1 is the prevailing mentality of the last days—a depraved mindset. We just want that shining city on a hill back. Reality check: That is very likely not going to happen ever again! What’s coming is the New World Order. But Christians are still called to be salt and light and to delay the decay no matter how much we are persecuted! God has spent all of 2020 reminding us that this world is not our home. We are only briefly passing through. Why would anyone want to cling to this? A new day is coming. A new world is coming. Very very soon.

Awaiting His return, Jan Markell Nearing Midnight: There’s Method to the Madness – Terry James - https://www.raptureready.com/category/nearing-midnight/ I’m in agreement with my close friend and colleague in Bible prophecy commentary, Daymond Duck. I read where he wrote in effect that he really would like to move away from things surrounding the evils of the political, societal, and cultural war today and deal with strictly Bible prophecy study. But all of this is so closely related to where this generation stands on God’s prophetic timeline that, for the moment, at least, I, like Daymond, must deal yet again with these matters. It is all maddening to those who still retain rationality while observing the things going on. It’s maddening because thinking from the other side—the side that wants to change America from the nation founded upon Judeo-Christian principles to one along the lines championed by Marx and Mao—seems to have lost all sanity in their plans to force us into compliance. This, we have alluded to before, is because, as Paul points out in Romans chapter 1, their rejection of God has caused development of the collective reprobate mind of verse 28. Evangelist Mike Gendron correctly assesses a large part of the American populace turning their backs on God. America has become a moral cesspool that is overflowing with ungodliness, unrighteousness and wickedness. Our government has given women the right to murder their babies in the womb, and as a result, tens of millions of human beings have been killed in abortion clinics. Sexual perversions of all types are defiantly flaunted and widely accepted. God’s unique design for marriage was overturned in a landmark decision by the Supreme Court in 2013. Our country has also become the largest supplier of pornography throughout the world. These are all symptoms of a greater evil which is the sin of idolatry (Col. 3:5). Our nation has turned its back on the one true God by worshipping gods of all the false religions (Exo. 20:3). As a nation, we should no longer ask for God’s blessings but instead expect His judgment. “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness” (Rom. 1:18). (Mike Gendron, “Let us not lose heart,” February 1, 2021, wwwproclaimingthegospel.org ) Again, half of the voting population, it is evident from developments since the 2020 presidential election, have observably rejected Heaven’s prescription for living under godly morality. The problems that have burgeoned in the nation’s division are from those who want America transformed and are determined to brutally enforce quickly accumulating executive dictates. Yet those against America as founded blame those of us who want to continue life under the Constitution as framed by men who claimed our rights as God-given to be the troublemakers. They continue to tell lies through every venue available. Yet their chief cry as of late is that it is those who oppose their lawlessness and godlessness who are telling the “big lie.” The “big lie” accusation by the man currently occupying the White House claims that political opposition in constantly proclaiming the election to be fraudulent is alien in the same vein of Adolf Hitler’s and Josef Goebbels’ “Big lie” against the Jews that eventually brought on the Holocaust and the genocide against Europe’s Jewish people. The following article excerpt explains to some extent. [President Joe Biden and his cohorts accuse] President Donald Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz, and Sen. Josh Hawley of a “Big Lie” ; Rep. Mazie Hirono went on Anderson Cooper to accuse the Republican senators of a “Big Lie”; Dominion Voting Systems has alleged a “Big Lie” in their lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani; Jake Tapper has used the term repeatedly on Twitter and on air to describe allegations of fraud in the 2020 election. Bloomberg explained the analogy in September: “Adolf Hitler and Goebbels, his minister of propaganda, espoused a technique known as the ‘Big Lie,’ which involved repeating a colossal falsehood until the public came to believe it was true.”… [In his book, Mein Kamf] Hitler charges the Jews with destabilizing society by promulgating a big lie—the narrative that provided a sinister rationale for the detainment and mass murder of the Jewish people. In the Hitler/Goebbels “Big Lie” analogy flowing freely from the mouths of Biden, Tapper, and others, the accuser would be analogous to Hitler, and the person being accused of lying would be analogous to the Jews. In other words, the Hitlerian strategy is to accuse one’s enemies of using a “Big Lie” to gain and consolidate control. To accuse your opponent of a “Big Lie” is to borrow a murderous, anti-Semitic slander directly from “Mein Kampf”—and to align oneself with Hitler in the analogy. (Noelle Garnier, “The left keeps accusing conservatives of ‘The Big Lie’—a term invented by Hitler as he prepared to persecute German Jews, TheNationalPulse.com, Rapture Ready News, January 29, 2021) So, to try to clear up a deliberately convoluted tactic by the present regime in the White House, the administration and their many mouthpieces are accusing those who claim the election was stolen through fraud are evil like Hitler. These rant that to claim the 2020 election fraudulent through illegal mail-in votes and the crooked Dominion Voting System is a Nazi tactic, using a “Big Lie” in the way Hitler employed the tactic. In fact, it is these leftist operatives who are doing the very thing they accuse their opposition of doing. They are using Nazi-like methods with their “Big Lie” against those who see and report the fraud the left has perpetrated. So there is method to their madness. All lies are from the father of lies, Lucifer the fallen one. His method hasn’t changed since the time of the Garden of Eden when He told Eve, upon tempting her to eat of the forbidden fruit, “Ye shall not surely die.” Let us pray that many will turn from the father of lies to the Father of Truth, and be saved from the sin that ensnares them. Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began. (Titus 1:1–2) Dangerous New Pestilences Are Breaking Out All Over The Globe - by Michael Snyder - http://endoftheamericandream.com/dangerous-new-pestilences-are-breaking-out-all-over-the-globe/ Did you hear about the outbreak of the new “mystery disease” in Tanzania? What about the alarming new outbreak in Congo? New developments in South Africa are making headlines all over the globe as well. Despite all of our advanced technology, humanity remains extremely vulnerable to outbreaks of disease, and many believe that the COVID pandemic is just the beginning. Fearsome new bugs are constantly being cooked up in labs all over the planet, and it is inevitable that there will be more “accidents” that result in more of these bugs getting released in the future. As we have seen, a single virus can rapidly spread throughout the entire world, and it is just a matter of time before a pandemic comes along that will wipe out tens of millions of people. This is a hot button topic for me, and so I am constantly monitoring news sources for new pestilences that may be emerging. Needless to say, when news stories about a new “mystery illness” in Tanzania started coming out, that definitely got my attention… A MYSTERY illness which causes patients to vomit blood has killed at least 15 in Tanzania, officials said. More than 50 people have been hospitalized in the south of the country due to the unidentified condition which also causes nausea in sufferers. Authorities in Tanzania do not know what is causing people to vomit blood and drop dead. But they did suspend the doctor that first reported this outbreak for “causing panic”… Tanzania has suspended a medical officer who reported that a mystery disease had killed 15 people in the country and caused people to throw up blood. Felista Kisandu, the chief medical officer for the Chunya district, had described how patients ‘vomit blood and die when they get to the hospital late’ in an unexplained bout of sickness which was said to have affected more than 50 people. At this point, officials are insisting that there will not be a wider outbreak, but of course Tanzania would also have us believe that COVID does not exist in their country when there is a tremendous amount of evidence to the contrary. So far, this new mystery disease does not appear to match the type of killer pandemic that I described in my latest book, but we will continue to monitor the situation. Meanwhile, a new Ebola outbreak in Congo is creating a tremendous amount of concern… Health officials in Congo confirmed another Ebola outbreak in the country’s east on Sunday, the fourth in less than three years. On February 3, a woman died in Butembo town in North Kivu province, Minister of Health Eteni Longondo announced. The woman from the nearby village of Biena felt sick for a few days before being tested in a clinic there. She then went to a hospital in Butembo, but died before receiving the results. The government has begun tracing everyone who came in contact with her to try to “eradicate the epidemic as soon as possible,” said Longondo. The good news is that it is not easy to transmit Ebola from one person to another. But of course Ebola could mutate at any time. Speaking of mutations, the number of cases of “SUPER COVID” in the United States appears “to be doubling about every 10 days”… Cases of the ‘super COVID’ variant that originated in the UK are spreading rapidly across the United States, a new study claims. Researchers estimate that the variant, known as B 1.1.7., is between 35 percent and 45 percent more transmissible than strains seen earlier on in the pandemic. Because of its more contagious nature, infections of the variant in the U.S. appear to be doubling about every 10 days. Some health experts believe that this will cause the largest wave of COVID that we have seen so far, but others dispute that claim. Of even greater concern is the COVID variant that has emerged out of South Africa. At the moment, confirmed cases of that variant have been identified in three different states… The South Africa coronavirus variant has been identified in Virginia, the third state to report a B.1.351 variant case, according to Feb. 7 data from the CDC. Maryland and South Carolina have also reported cases of the variant, bringing the nation’s total to six known cases. One of the reasons why the South African variant is causing so much concern is because vaccines appear to be of little use against it. In fact, South Africa just suspended their entire vaccination campaign after the results of a shocking new study were released… South Africa suspended its vaccination campaign against COVID-19 Sunday after a new study revealed that the AstraZeneca vaccine is less effective against a variant of the virus found in the country. The World Health Organization is holding a meeting Monday about the latest development in South Africa. If the South African strain becomes dominant all over the planet, that will be a complete and utter nightmare for global health authorities. And we are being told that COVID is going to keep mutating in the years ahead. This is a disease that is simply not going to be eradicated, and even the Wall Street Journal is admitting that this virus could be with us for “decades”… Governments and businesses are increasingly accepting what epidemiologists have long warned: The pathogen will circulate for years, or even decades, leaving society to coexist with Covid-19 much as it does with other endemic diseases like flu, measles, and HIV. So those that were expecting their lives to “get back to normal” are going to be deeply disappointed. Thomas Frieden, the former director of the CDC, says that “we need to come to the acceptance phase that our lives are not going to be the same”… The ease with which the coronavirus spreads, the emergence of new strains and poor access to vaccines in large parts of the world mean Covid-19 could shift from a pandemic disease to an endemic one, implying lasting modifications to personal and societal behavior, epidemiologists say. “Going through the five phases of grief, we need to come to the acceptance phase that our lives are not going to be the same,” said Thomas Frieden, former director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “I don’t think the world has really absorbed the fact that these are long-term changes.” But what Frieden and other experts don’t seem to realize is that this COVID pandemic is not a worst case scenario. Pandemics that are far, far worse are inevitably coming, and they will wipe out tens of millions of people. We have now entered an era of deadly pandemics, and society is going to be completely turned upside down as a result. Daily Jot: Communist-style Impeachment performance art – Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com As senate Democrats wind up for their impeachment pitch, the theatre is reminiscent of an old-time pro wrestling venue—everybody knew it was fake, contrived, and rigged for an outcome. Everybody, except for the rabid fans who would divorce their entire family and friends if the integrity of the match was called into question. The entire fiasco, sadly, is more akin to communist dictatorship railroading a political opponent or dissenter into prison or an execution just to make a point. In this charade, the democrats are hoping to make legal the political assassination of a former president with the stated goal that Donald Trump would never be able to again run for or hold public office. They are that scared of him. Now the Democrat Impeachment Managers are threatening that Trump testify at the trial otherwise face “strong adverse inference regarding President Trump’s actions (and inactions) on January 6.” In a response to Trump’s lawyers, the Democratic Party managers also said that everything that has been charged in the Articles of Impeachment are true and that all defenses against these charges are without merit. They say this impeachment is Constitutional—not by citing any Constitutional or judicial precedent, but because they say it is Constitutional. They say that Trump’s First Amendment rights do not apply because he purposely incited insurrection by continuously lying that the election results were rigged and whipping up the January 6 crowd to storm the Capitol. They can say what they want because they have the votes. Problem for the Democrats is that some of their argument has eroded in the days ahead of the trial. It is reported that the FBI has documented several of the so-called insurgents had pre-planned the action assault on the Capitol, diminishing the claim that Trump incited mob violence. Additionally, there is the question of the election itself. Time Magazine reported about a corporate-labor-leftist “handshake” to “protect” the election. Time’s Molly Ball wrote, “Their work touched every aspect of the election. They got states to change voting systems and laws… They fended off voter-suppression lawsuits, recruited armies of poll workers and got millions of people to vote by mail for the first time…After Election Day, they monitored every pressure point to ensure that Trump could not overturn the result.” My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell also produced a documentary exposing election integrity issues. The Supreme Court also will hear election fraud cases this year. The Epoch Times reports that historian and Hoover Institute Fellow Victor Davis Hanson says the impeachment trial is no less “performance art” very similar to the public shaming methods used by the Chinese Communist Party during their “cultural revolution” in the decade from 1966 to 1976. The Nineth Commandment is found in Exodus 20:16, “Thou shalt not bear false witness against your neighbor.” You’ll see this commandment broken a lot this week. Daily Devotion: His Joy - by Greg Laurie – www.harvest.org Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. —Luke 12:32 https://harvest.org/resources/devotion/his-joy/ - Listen If you never had a problem again, if you never had an unpaid bill, if you or a family member never had a single sickness, a single conflict, or a single problem, and if you always knew the right decision to make, would you still pray? God will allow certain circumstances in our lives to keep us dependent on Him. We call out to Him because we need His help. That’s why God doesn’t give us all of His glorious gifts in one lump sum. And know this: God wants to answer our prayers. Jesus said, “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32 NKJV). Your Father in Heaven loves to lavish blessings on you. It’s His joy. So He effectively says, “I’ll give this to you, but you must come to Me.” Now, He won’t spoil you or give you things needlessly. And He certainly won’t give you things that would hurt you. But He loves to lavish His provision on you. I heard a story about a very wise father whose son was leaving for college. He said, “Son, I’m going to pay all your bills. I’ll take care of everything, and I’ll give you a monthly check.” Then he added, “But I’m not sending it to any address. If you want the check, you need to come home. When I see you, I’ll give you the check.” His son came home every month. In the same way, God says, “Yes, I’ll bless you. I’ll provide for you. But I want you to come to Me. I want fellowship with you.” He’s our Father, and He wants to hear from us. We need answers to our prayers, and God wants to answer them. That sounds like a match made in Heaven, and indeed it is.
