Are You with Israel or Not? America and Christians Need to Stop Sitting on The Fence - By Robert Gottselig - https://harbingersdaily.com/are-you-with-israel-or-not-america-and-christians-need-to-stop-sitting-on-the-fence/
Are you with Israel or not? That’s a great question for US President Joe Biden, who is playing both sides of the Israel-Hamas War. One moment, he supports Israel’s right to defend itself and defeat Hamas; the next moment, he seems to want to let Hamas live to fight another day. Such was the case just last week when Biden approved a pause on the shipment to Israel of 3,500 pound bombs, 6,500 kits used to turn dumb bombs into precision-guided weapons, tank munitions, mortar rounds, and other weapons. Biden told CNN on May 8th, “I made it clear that if they go into Rafah – they haven’t gone in Rafah yet – if they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities – that deal with that problem.” US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, along the same lines, told CBS News on Sunday, “What we’ve been clear about is that if Israel launches this major military operation into Rafah, then there are certain systems that we’re not going to be supporting and supplying for that operation.” Blinken asserted that Israel, instead of working to eliminate Hamas’ in its last stronghold (Rafah), should pull out of Gaza entirely. The Secretary of State claimed Israel’s exit would be a “more effective, durable way” to demilitarize Hamas. Seriously? Israel should just forget about it and let Hamas live another day? You can’t be serious… but that’s what they’re saying. These threats have been coming out of the United States for quite some time now. In response last week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, “If we have to stand alone, we will stand alone. I have already said that if we have to – we will fight with our nails. But we have much more than our nails, and with the same determination, with God’s help, we will win together.” On May 14th, Israel celebrated Independence Day. Seventy-six years ago, in 1948, they defeated five Arab countries that came against the Jewish people and vowed to finish what Hitler started. The armies of those Arab Nations (Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon) lost despite having ten-to-one odds in their favor. That should tell us something. The God of this universe has His hand on His chosen people, and He is regathering them back to their ancestral homeland. No one can thwart those plans. Are you standing with Israel or not? I also asked that question to all pastors. Many, even of the dispensationalist pastors who are solid in what the Bible says concerning Israel and the Jewish people, since October 7th have been silent at their pulpits. Why? Your silence resonates loudly with those that hate Israel. Why not instead educate your congregation on what God’s Word says concerning Israel in the days in which we live? Teach your congregation to obey God’s command to comfort and move with compassion for His chosen people. Perhaps a rereading of Ezekiel 36-37 and Romans 11 would help! Are you with Israel or not? I also ask that question to all of you reading this article. If you say that you are with Israel, then show it. Demonstrate it by standing, loving, and supporting Israel and the Jewish people—this includes speaking out against anti-Semitism, looking for ways to help, and maybe getting involved in the Jewish community—don’t idly sit on the fence. If you’re not with Israel… shame on you! Historically, geopolitically, and most importantly, Biblically, the Jewish people have a right to the land of Israel. It is where God has placed His name forever. God owns the land; He can give it to whomever He chooses, and he has selected the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Period! Psalm 105:8-9 says, “He [God] remembers His covenant forever, The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations, The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac, And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant, Saying, ‘To you I will give the land of Canaan As the allotment of your inheritance,'” There you have it. God is with Israel, and if you’re not or you’re sitting on the fence, you are playing right into the hand of Satan, who wants nothing more than to wipe Israel off the face of the map. Hamas is a terrorist organization that carried out the most heinous, evil, and demonic atrocities against innocent Jewish lives on October 7th. Some point to the innocent lives that Israel has taken since October 8th in Gaza. However, there is much doubt surrounding these numbers. Hamas can’t even come up with a list of 10,000 names of the so-called 34,000 people they claim have died. This is not to mention the fact that Hamas uses their own people as human Shields. Hamas is 100% responsible for any and all deaths in this war—not Israel. To let Hamas live another day is to open the door to a repeat of October 7th, which they said they would do all over again. To insist Hamas live another day is also to severely degrade the worth of Israel, and for that, we will all have to give an account one day to the God of Israel, who has an everlasting love for His chosen people. In Isaiah 49:14-16 we read, “But Zion said, ‘The Lord has forsaken me, And my Lord has forgotten me.'” God responded, “‘Can a woman forget her nursing child, And not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, Yet I will not forget you. See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me.'” Are you with Israel or not? It’s Anti-Semitism: What Else Could It Be? - By Jonathan Brentner - https://www.raptureready.com/2024/05/11/its-anti-semitism-what-else-could-it-be/ I’ve known for many years that the time would come when the United States would no longer defend Israel. The Gog/Magog prophecy of Ezekiel 38-39 is remarkable for its absence of any nation, including America, coming to the aid of Israel as massive forces invade the Land. I could never have imagined, however, that a U.S. President would choose to protect an organization so barbaric and monstrous as Hamas at the expense of Israel. The Biden administration is currently refusing to ship weapons to the nation unless it relents from its intent to invade Rafah, the last stronghold of Hamas. He seems to have forgotten the horrors of October 7, 2023, and how the Gazans rejoiced following the brutal and murderous attack on Israel. Not only did Hamas kill well over a thousand Israelis last October, but they also slaughtered many people from other nations, including those from the U.S. Demonic is the only way to describe the viciousness of that attack. It gets worse. In his article, Biden Risks American Lives to Protect Hamas, journalist Daniel Greenfield wrote the following: Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin recently admitted at a congressional hearing that American soldiers operating Biden’s disastrous “aid pier” for Gaza could come under attack from Islamic terrorists. Biden has not sent a single soldier to recover American hostages being held by Hamas, but there are now soldiers in the line of fire in order to send aid to Gaza. [1] Why is President Biden risking the lives of U.S. soldiers in such a way? Will they interfere with Israeli forces when they enter Rafah? Some fear it will bring the two sides into direct conflict. Intense hatred for the Jewish people. That’s the only explanation I can think of for Biden’s reckless betrayal of Benjamin Netanyahu and the Jewish people. His proposed “two-state solution” for the Land God gave to the descendants of Jacob will not resolve the current hostilities. Israel recognizes that such a division of the Land would be suicidal, while the Palestinians desire the total elimination of Israel. That’s what they mean when they chant, “From the river to the sea!” They want to annihilate both the nation and its people. The Biden administration is pursuing anti-Semitic policies that will surely bring God’s judgment upon the U.S. Is it any wonder why there’s no mention of America in Bible prophecy? The following thoughts keep me sane as news of Biden’s inane policy blunders toward Israel flood our newsfeeds. We Live in Biblical Times The Bible tells us that, someday, Israel will agree to a covenant of peace with the coming antichrist (Daniel 9:27, 12:11; Isaiah 28:14-19). The Lord Jesus referred to the breaking of this deal in Matthew 24:15, as did the Apostle Paul in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-8. The betrayal will occur halfway through the seven-year agreement. The actions of the U.S. and other nations are pushing Israel toward this deal in at least a couple of ways: First, the limiting of Israel’s response to its enemies ensures that the threat of warfare will not end anytime soon. Since Biden and other world leaders will not allow its armed forces to completely destroy its adversaries, their continued vulnerability to future attacks will lead them to accept the terms offered by the coming “man of lawlessness.” Second, the unrelenting outside pressure for Israel’s leaders to agree to a long-term solution will eventually wear them down to the point where they will agree to the “covenant of death” offered by the antichrist. The anti-Semitic rancor from the left in America, Europe, and even in Israel itself is already preparing them to accept the terms offered by the coming antichrist. Please know that God will severely judge those that are now seeking to divide His Land (Joel 3:1-3). The fact that we are seeing all this develop in our day shouts that we live in biblical times. The Lord Jesus Will Directly Intervene in World Affairs Not only do we see Bible prophecy unfolding before our eyes, but soon, the Lord Jesus will directly intervene in the affairs of mankind. The Rapture will mark His first direct intrusion into the course of human events. The Bible tells us that this will happen suddenly and set off a time of destruction on the earth known as the Day of the Lord (see 1 Thessalonians 5:1-10). Months afterward (or longer), the antichrist will make his deal with Israel, and the clock will start ticking on the seven-year Tribulation. This time of Jacob’s trouble will seem calm at first; most of the Jews will not heed the warnings of the two witnesses in Jerusalem (Revelation 11:1-14). The horrors for the Jewish people will start when the man of lawlessness defiles their temple and forces them to flee for their lives. At His Second Coming, Jesus will complete His destruction of Satan’s kingdom and directly kill the antichrist, tossing him into the “lake of fire” (Revelation 19:11-20:4). Though many Jews will perish during the latter half of the Tribulation, one-third will survive and take part in the Lord’s glorious restoration of a kingdom to Israel. The news of our day is quite disturbing for those of us who love Israel and the Jewish people. President Biden and those influencing his policy are actively pursuing an anti-Semitic agenda. I can’t find any other explanation for their vile attempts to preserve Hamas. The Lord’s direct interference with history will result in a horrible fate for those now seeking to divide God’s Land and aid Israel’s enemies. You would not want to be them. No, not at all. For those of us who know Jesus as our Savior, there’s good news in the midst of a world that’s gone crazy. Jesus is coming again, and it’s likely to happen in the near future. Maranatha!

For years, poverty and homelessness have been on the rise. According to a recent report from Harvard University, the number of homeless Americans has increased by almost 50 percent in less than a decade. Meanwhile, the ranks of the poor have been growing as the middle class has been eroding. Today, approximately 40 percent of the entire U.S. population is considered to be either living in poverty or among the “working poor”. According to Wikipedia, the bottom 50 percent of the U.S. population only has 2.6 percent of the wealth. And that number is from 2021, and so things are almost certainly even worse today. All of this economic suffering is helping to fuel a deeply alarming explosion of theft and violence in our major cities, and our leaders don’t seem to have any solutions. Everyone knows that homelessness is out of control in large coastal cities such as Los Angeles and New York, but we are seeing the same thing happen in the middle of the country too… Nashville residents say they are increasingly struggling to afford a home as an influx of out-of-state buyers drive real estate prices up, leaving many with no where to go. Rates of chronic homelessness in the Tennessee capital have soared 77 percent this year, according to the city’s official stats. 77 percent in one year. Take a moment and let that number sink in. Many of these homeless people are actually working, but affording a place to live is out of reach. Today, the average one bedroom apartment in Nashville will set you back more than $1,400 a month… Rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the Nashville area soared $200 in the past year to $1,442 a month, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Young said without more affordable housing, the issue will worsen: ‘I guarantee you it’s going to double from where we are now.’ And home prices in Nashville have soared to absurd heights… The median home sale price in Nashville at the end of February was $414,012, compared to $290,983 five years prior. Home prices are at the heart of the cost of living crisis that is causing so much pain all over the nation right now. As I discussed yesterday, home prices in the U.S. have risen by 47 percent since the start of the decade. So this helps to explain why tent cities are popping up from coast to coast. In my entire lifetime, I have never seen so many people sleeping in the streets of America. Many of them are addicts, and San Francisco has decided to “help” them by giving them free beer and vodka shots… The City of San Francisco is providing free beer and vodka shots to homeless alcoholics at taxpayer expense under a little-known pilot program. The “Managed Alcohol Program” operated by San Francisco’s Department of Public Health serves regimented doses of alcohol to voluntary participants with alcohol addiction in an effort to keep the homeless off the streets and relieve the city’s emergency services. Experts say the program can save or extend lives, but critics wonder if the government would be better off funding treatment and sobriety programs instead. “Established in countries such as Canada and Australia, a managed alcohol program is usually administered by a nurse and trained support staff in a facility such as a homeless shelter or a transitional or permanent home, and is one method to minimize harm for those with alcohol use disorder,” the California Health Care Foundation explains in an 2020 article describing the pilot program. Are you kidding me? Of course, San Francisco has been giving free syringes to drug addicts for a long time too. Needless to say, the problems that San Francisco is facing have only gotten worse, and we have seen countless businesses leave the city as a result. The latest one to leave downtown San Francisco is American Eagle… Yet another retailer is leaving Downtown San Francisco amid the city’s spiraling crime and homeless crises – at the especially embattled San Francisco Centre mall. American Eagle announced it is closing its doors at the former Westfield San Francisco Centre over the summer, citing more 100 significant security incidents that allegedly occurred between May 2020 and May 2023. Drug addicts constantly have to steal stuff in order to fund their addictions. Right now, we are in the midst of the worst addiction crisis in the entire history of the United States, and this is one of the primary reasons we are facing the worst retail theft crisis in the entire history of the United States. Retail shrinkage has more than doubled during the past five years and is now costing retailers more than 100 billion dollars a year… If you’ve paid attention to recent retailer earnings reports, you have undoubtedly heard the phrase retail shrink cited as a key factor contributing to margin erosion and poor earnings performance. Shrink is the industry term for inventory loss often attributed to theft and shoplifting, damage or errors. Once simply considered a cost of doing business, retail shrinkage resulted in profit losses exceeding a staggering $100 billion in 2022. What’s more problematic, the trend of shrink appears to be far from reversing course, with losses more than doubling over the past five years. These are the facts. I am sorry if some people out there do not like them. In addition to rampant theft, our streets are also filled with rampant violence. Earlier today, I was shocked to learn that police officers in the United States were attacked more than 79,000 times last year… The rate of assaults on American law enforcement reached a 10-year high in 2023, with more than 79,000 officer attacks reported, according to a new FBI report released Tuesday. The report analyzes data from state, local, federal and other agencies across the U.S. to determine trends in violence against law enforcement. It shows that the number of officers assaulted and injured by guns is also climbing. I would not want to work as a police officer in any of our major cities at this stage. It is way too dangerous. Sadly, our ongoing national crime wave is being made worse by “organized crime groups” that are coming in from other countries… A Michigan sheriff is sounding the alarm on “burglary tourism” – a recent trend where international organized crime groups enter the U.S. to skillfully rob wealthy suburban homes. “We believe that there has to be some kind of training camp because they come so well-trained, so equipped, and so knowledgeable about how to move and how to attack a home,” Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard told “Fox & Friends” Wednesday. “They do a lot of pre-op surveillance. They determine as best they can when someone won’t be in a home. They go very quickly to the home, they break a window. They go through it, not opening a door or window. They have an electronic jammer.” Bouchard says that the gangs that are causing so much chaos in his area of Michigan are mostly coming in from Chile… Bouchard said the gangs, mostly from Chile, are then able to quickly target home safes and small high-end items. “They’re very focused on high-end jewelry, like watches, cash, high-end purses… things that are highly, valuable and disposable. And out they go and they move on. They usually hit a number of homes in our area, and then they move on to another part of the country, and then another crew will come in. And it’s been a cycle.” In other parts of the nation, groups from other areas are responsible for enormous spikes in crime. The federal government keeps trying to tell us that things aren’t that bad, but a Gallup survey discovered that a whopping 63 percent of all Americans believe that crime is either an “extremely serious” or “very serious” problem in this country… Sixty-three percent of Americans describe the crime problem in the U.S. as either extremely or very serious, up from 54% when last measured in 2021 and the highest in Gallup’s trend. Our society is literally coming apart at the seams all around us, and this is precisely what I have been warning would happen. Decades of very bad decisions have brought us to this point, and our politicians continue to take us in the wrong direction. But if you think that things are bad now, just wait until you see what conditions are like a year or two from now… Are You Ready for Battle? - Nathele Graham - [email protected] Picture in your mind a battlefield. The enemy is formidable and armed with their weapons of battle. What are those weapons? Lies, deception, temptation, fear, chaos, and all things evil. As you look around at your fellow soldiers in this war, you catch a glimpse of an enemy soldier lurking behind the ranks. That enemy is whispering lies to the troops. The enemy seems to know their weapons well and how to use them skillfully. You’re certain that the battle will soon be fully raging in all-out war. There have been many small skirmishes, but nothing that has tried the troops like what is about to come. You know that your side of this war also has weapons, and you look around at your fellow warriors, and your heart sinks. Look at them! Where’s their armor? They’re dressed in shorts, Hawaiian shirts, and sandals. What happened to the battle gear that the Instruction Book described? You think hard trying to remember what the Book said. Something about putting on armor, but nobody in your troop seems to have put on any armor. Peeking out from under a bunk, you notice that somebody had hidden the Instruction Book. It was opened to a section about the battle gear. As you pick it up to begin reading, a voice whispers from behind you “You can read that later. The battle hasn’t started and some of your fellow soldiers are watching TV and playing cards in the other room. That will be much more fun than reading this ancient book.” The whispering voice made sense. Why upset the troops with stories of battle, and tales of an enemy, when there’s much more interesting activities to do. You know that you are armed for battle, but as you look down at your feet, your heart sinks. You only see sandals, but you recall the Book instructed “And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace.” Ephesians 6:15. Spiritual sandals just aren’t spiritual battle gear. Is that just an imaginary story? Something that makes for interesting reading, but just not applicable to you or your fellow soldiers? Sadly, most Christians are clad in vacation clothing rather than the full armor of God. “Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” Ephesians 6:13. There is a war raging all around us, but many Christians aren’t fit for battle. They’ve chosen to listen to a watered-down Gospel that tickles ears and doesn’t prepare anybody for war. I have to be honest and say that I’ve attended churches where the preacher has no grasp of Scripture. There is a growing trend found in many pulpits to ignore the battle, make the congregation feel comfortable and cozy, and send them to battle in flip-flops. Pastors should know Scripture and be able to discern the times in which we live. Sadly, in this day and age of softening God’s word so that congregations and offerings grow, God’s word has gone missing. That’s another piece of the armor that seems to be misplaced. “And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;” Ephesians 6:17. Christ hung on a cross, shedding every drop of His blood in order to offer salvation to all of humanity. That salvation has to be accepted by each individual. Protect your head and brain from enemy attack. Wear your salvation like a helmet to protect you from the lies of the “feel good” Gospel. Your salvation was purchased at a great expense, but is offered to you freely. Admit that you are a sinner and cannot save yourself. Your sin has condemned you to eternity in Hell, but you have a choice. Choose to repent of your sin, and accept the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for salvation. Too many Christians stop there, “I’ve gone to the altar and mumbled a prayer, so I’m set for eternity”. Well, if your trip to the altar and your repentance was sincere, you have been sealed by the Holy Spirit. Now you need to show evidence of your changed attitude and turn from your sin. Pick up the “…sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:” Ephesians 6:17b. Don’t wait for a preacher to arm you, but allow God to fit you for battle. Pick up your Bible, study it, and apply it to your life. In studying Scripture for yourself, you’ll learn that there is a real spiritual battle raging. It began in the Garden of Eden, and has never eased up. The unseen realm is very real, and overflows into the physical realm. “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12. Our enemy is not flesh and blood…it’s not people. It may look as if our enemy is human, but we all have spiritual ears. We can choose to listen to Satan’s voice and act out his evil towards fellow humans, or we can choose to listen to God, and show His love to others. Jesus said “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.” John 13:34. We are to love our fellow Christians. Well, we need to love people in general, but our brothers and sisters in Christ are family. Don’t waiver from God’s truth. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17. If you are sitting in a congregation where the preacher compromises God’s truth, you need to use Scripture to rebuke the teaching. Does your congregation accept sexual perversion? Get out of there. If you continue to listen to liberal teachings, you allow your spiritual armor to be tarnished. If you continue to listen to false teaching, you will be shod in flip-flops rather than having your feet shod with the Gospel truth. Stand firm on God’s truth and don’t waiver. “Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;” Ephesians 6:14. You need to know God’s truth by knowing His word. Put on His armor and don’t take it off. How can you know a false teacher? First you need to know God’s truth. If your pastor doesn’t rebuke sin, there’s a problem. If your pastor doesn’t teach that Jesus Christ was God incarnate, there’s a problem. If your pastor doesn’t understand how important Israel is to God, there’s a problem. False teaching comes from Satan. Just as he confounded Eve in the Garden by twisting God’s words, that evil being is still twisting Scripture. You need to know God’s truth and stand firm on your faith. “Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.” Ephesians 6:16. When you come to faith, and especially if you allow your faith to guide your life, you become a target for the enemy. God won’t let you be a casualty of the spiritual war, but you need to stand with Him, not against Him. When Jesus was in the wilderness, fasting and praying, Satan in all his pride and arrogance tried to twist God’s words to the One who wrote those words. Jesus was in the beginning with God and He created all things. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” John 1: 1-3. John goes on to say that the Word was made flesh. The Word was Jesus…God in the flesh. This is truth. You can either believe it, or you can believe Satan’s lies. Personally, I believe God. As Satan tried to manipulate Jesus into sinning, he pulled Scripture out of context and twisted the meaning. Jesus cannot be fooled and Satan lost that battle. Satan is always a loser. Your faith will be challenged, but don’t compromise. Parents, you need to teach your children God’s truth and prepare them for the spiritual battle they will face. Fathers, be sure you are teaching your sons to be godly men. Lead by example. Mothers, teach your daughters to honor God and not to compromise their faith by living worldly lives. I am horrified at what is being taught in public schools, and any Christian parent who accepts the curriculum that’s being taught needs to examine their own faith. Anyone who claims to be a Christian, yet can teach children Satan’s lies, also needs to examine their faith to see if it is real. Never compromise God’s truth. Study to know what you believe and why you believe it. “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear” 1 Peter 3:15. Scripture is truth and from beginning to end and it never changes. If you think Scripture should be “updated” to fit into modern society, then you need to check your spiritual armor. You’re allowing it to become tarnished. Satan’s fiery darts are messing with your mind. Don’t forget to pray. Prayer is an important piece of God’s armor. “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.” Ephesians 6:18. Praying for all saints? These aren’t humans who the pope has deemed special. If you are a person who has submitted to Christ and know that your righteousness is only through Him, you are a saint, holy and set apart for God. Live your life to honor Him and never be ashamed to openly let your faith be known. “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” Romans 1:16. Wear God’s armor proudly, and never be ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. The spiritual battle may be unseen by human eyes, but it is all around. It is spilling into the physical realm and manifesting in the acceptance of the moral decay and mental illness of confused people who think they are something they aren’t. People are not animals, girls are not boys, and boys are not girls. No matter how much you mutilate your body, males are males and females are females. Stand firm on God’s word, put on the full armor of God, and be ready for battle.

Daily Jot: Cleveland Clinic: COVID Vaccine offered lower protection and higher risk - Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com A Cleveland Clinic study of 47,561 Cleveland Clinic employees indicated that the COVID-19 vaccine was only 23% effective and higher doses were associated with higher risk of COVID-19. The study sates: “There was no significant difference in the cumulative incidence of COVID-19 in the 2023- 2024 formula vaccinated state compared to the non-vaccinated state in an unadjusted analysis…Consistent with similar findings in many prior studies [3,8,10,12,18–20], a higher number of prior vaccine doses was associated with a higher risk of COVID-19. The exact reason for this finding is not clear. It is possible that this may be related to the fact that vaccine-induced immunity is weaker and less durable than natural immunity.” Another recent study, Review: N1-methyl-pseudouridine (m1Ψ): Friend or foe of cancer?, published in the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, drew a distinct correlation between the Moderna and Pfizer COVID 19 vaccines and cancer. A very technical expose’ of ingredients used by the big pharma conglomerates demonstrated that adding 100% of N1-methyl-pseudouridine to the mRNA vaccine improved its effectiveness. This is the story that was told to the public. What was not told to the public, and was found in this study, that modifying mRNA vaccines with 100% N1-methyl-pseudouridine “stimulated cancer growth and metastasis, while non-modified mRNA vaccines induced opposite results, thus suggesting that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines could aid cancer development.” Another peer-reviewed study is showing that “data suggest a potential link between young age, mRNA, and viral vector vaccines with new-onset psychosis within 7 days post-vaccination.” In fact, in the limited study “Psychotic events were potentially induced by the mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine in 33.3% of cases.” This adds to the literally hundreds of studies that show the vaccines were neither safe nor effective. The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) maintained by the CDC has over 1.6 million reported adverse events and over 37,000 reported deaths. These studies and statistics are so compelling that even the New York Times, a staunch advocate of the mRNA vaccines, censor of “misinformation” about the vaccines, and vocal foe of “science deniers,” wrote an article documenting the horrors of mRNA vaccine side effects. Meanwhile, the CDC still maintains on its website that the serum is both safe and effective and recommends that children 6 months to 4 years need multiple vaccinations. This is the biggest public health scandal in generations. A confidential Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine adverse event report to the FDA dated April 3, 2021 listed 9 pages of “Adverse Events of Special Interest,” including spontaneous abortions, myocarditis, pericarditis, cardiovascular issues—with nearly a 10% fatality rate. But the report concluded that it “does not raise new safety issues.” Many are in denial that the shot they took was harmful. Reality is, it was neither safe nor effective. The government lied while calling Whistleblowers liars. In Matthew 24:4, Christ says, “Take heed that no man deceive you.” Today, knowing what we know, the vaccinated should take immediate steps to detox, and no one should ever trust the government with their health. Your wellness depends on it. Daily Devotion: Missed Opportunity - by Greg Laurie – www.harvest.org Herod was delighted at the opportunity to see Jesus, because he had heard about him and had been hoping for a long time to see him perform a miracle. —Luke 23:8 https://harvest.org/resources/devotion/missed-opportunity/ - Listen The moment had finally come. Herod was about to meet the famous Jesus. And the Bible says that he was “delighted at the opportunity” (Luke 23:8 NLT). Herod wanted to be dazzled. He wanted to see a miracle. But it’s doubtful that it was because Herod wanted to know God. What he essentially wanted was a magic trick. And not only did Jesus refuse to perform a miracle for Herod, but He also refused to speak a single word. When we read the Gospels, we discover that Jesus had a lot to say to a lot of people. We see in John 3 that he had an extensive conversation with Nicodemus. And in John 4, we find another conversation that He had with a woman at Jacob’s well in Samaria. The Lord jousted verbally with the scribes and Pharisees. He even exchanged words with Pontius Pilate. But He wouldn’t speak a single word to Herod. Why? Jesus, being God, could see Herod’s heart. And He knew that Herod had gone beyond the point of no return. Therefore, Jesus could see that it was futile to talk to Herod. There really was no reason to do so. Matthew 7:6 tells us, “Don’t waste what is holy on people who are unholy. Don’t throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you” (NLT). Some people love to argue. Sometimes, people walk up to me and say, “Greg, I want to talk with you.” Often, it’s because they want to argue with me. It becomes apparent they have a list of talking points or a hypothetical situation they want to present. So, I simply say, “Well, you go ahead and believe that if you want to. I’m not going to try to talk you out of it. I don’t want to stand here and argue with you.” Now, if someone asks a legitimate question and is willing to listen to my answer, then I’m happy to talk. But if it’s just going to be an argument, then I have other things to do. That’s because someone else with a genuine spiritual need might be waiting to speak with me. And they might be overlooked because someone simply wants to argue. That is basically what Jesus was doing with Herod. He was saying, “There is no point.” And effectively, the party was over for King Herod. Talk about opportunity. First, he had access to the greatest New Testament prophet ever, John the Baptist. But he had him beheaded. And then God Incarnate stood before him. But Herod only wanted to see Him do a trick. He could have poured out his heart to Jesus, confessed his sins, found forgiveness, and resensitized his seared conscience. But he did not. Instead, Herod rejected Christ, and Christ rejected Herod. Don’t mess with your conscience, lest you end up like Herod and come to a point where Jesus says, “The conversation is over. I’ve said everything there is to say.” Don’t let that happen to you.
