Nothing Israel Faces Can Change the Promises of God – By Amir Tsarfati – https://harbingersdaily.com/amir-tsarfati-nothing-israel-faces-can-change-the-promises-of-god/
(Galilee, Israel) — Shalom from the Promised Land – Yes. Things are escalating in the north. Yes, we have political turmoil. Yes, my region of the world is chaotic. However, none of these realties change the fact that the promises of God are sure. God initiated my blessed country through Abraham. He rescued it through Moses. He restored in through Joshua. He preserved it through David. He rebirthed it from the ashes of the Holocaust, and He’s going to do an amazing work in my people in the future, just as He promised through the prophets and New Testament authors. Romans 11:25-27 KJV – “For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.” Israel’s Internal Circumstances Tragically, the progressive movement within Israel continues to push on despite our existential threats. These people are ready to bring everything tumbling down with them as long as it means removing Netanyahu from office. First, they capitalized on COVID and the fake trial, then it was the judicial reform, and now it’s the hostages. I feel bad for the families of the hostages. The progressives are sympathizing with the hostages for their own gain and nothing else. They are being used and abused! If there is something I hope my country has learned from October 7, it is to never underestimate our enemy and overestimate our own capabilities. Just like it’s taking us over 8 months in Gaza, Hezbollah won’t go down without a long and painful fight. My hope and prayer are that hostages won’t be part of our war this time! We must make sure Hezbollah doesn’t get the chance to do to us what Hamas did. War in Gaza The war rages on as the IDF focuses primarily on Rafah. However, our troops are continuing to eliminate targets in other cities as well. In fact, our soldiers eliminated #4 in the hierarchy of this depraved terrorist group just days ago! Psalm 94:1 KJV – “O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.” Hamas has become accustomed to starting a war, negotiating a ceasefire, begging Gulf countries and the West for money for reconstruction, and then using most of that money to build tunnels and prepare for the next round. Meanwhile, their leaders get richer. The other Palestinians are just useful pawns. That which was shall be no more! The West Bank Last night, our soldiers conducted an overnight operation in Jenin wherein one soldier was killed and 16 more were injured after an improvised explosive device (IED) was detonated next to their armored vehicle. When the rescue force arrived, another IED went off. We continue to operate in the West Bank (Judea & Samaria) on a daily basis. The Coming War in the North We’re continuing to exchange strikes with Hezbollah on a day-to-day basis despite there technically being no declaration of war. Moreover, targeted assassinations are becoming a frequent occurrence. Multiple countries around the world have called on their citizens to leave Lebanon immediately. Everyone knows a war is imminent. However, strikes aren’t limited to Lebanon. Israel has also recently targeted Iranian-backed militias in Eastern Syria. If dealing with Hezbollah isn’t enough, we now know that Iran is not afraid to attack us directly. They intend to involve themselves in any war we have with Hezbollah. And they’re not alone in this vow. Their militias in Iraq have vowed to involve themselves as well. Things are getting more prophetic by the day. Many Christians are asking me what can they do to help. The answer is the same today as it was yesterday and even decades ago – Pray! Things are going to be very tough, rough, ugly, and painful. But since when do the people of God rely on circumstances? We have two promises: 1) That the God of Israel will help Israel and won’t allow it to be annihilated! And 2) That the enemies of Israel once again will be defeated! My prayer is that through the pain, sorrow, and sadness my nation is going through, more and more would lift up their eyes to see that our help comes from the Lord and it’s time to return back to Him. So, in a nutshell, please pray for two things: 1) For God’s victory to be quick and 2) for Israel to have the humility to acknowledge that the victory is from the Lord. Trouble in the Gulf The Houthis once again claimed to attack a commercial ship in the Gulf of Aden in addition to carrying out another strike targeting the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower in the Red Sea. This ship has now made its way to the Mediterranean Sea before heading back to the US. Russian Activity Following the meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean Dictator Kim Jong-un, the two countries made a military agreement just days ago. In the aftermath of this agreement, North Korea now intends to send some of its soldiers to Ukraine to help with Putin’s war. Happenings Around the World US apathy and manipulation remains a constant issue for Israel as we seek the end of Hamas. By now, you should be asking yourself, “Why would a country stand in the way of Israel trying to eliminate a terrorist organization that killed 1,400 civilians?” Ironically, the US has vowed to provide any aid we need should we enter into a war with Hezbollah, but we’ll see what happens when rubber meets the road. High-ranking US military personnel have already started to issue a recall on this promise. The pro-Iranian militias in Iraq carried out a drone attack on the Al-Tanf base of the US military forces on the Syria-Jordan-Iraq border. This is the first attack by the militias against the Americans in nearly five months. You’d think activity like this would force the Biden Administration to see that we’re dealing with the same threats and that its time to stop playing diplomatic games ahead of another election. Unfortunately, Armenia has now decided to become the ninth country to recognize a Palestinian state. The global deception is clearly continuing to increase. 21 Facts That Joe Biden Doesn’t Want You to Know - by Michael Snyder – https://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/21-facts-that-joe-biden-doesnt-want-you-to-know/ It takes a lot of gumption to go on television and repeatedly lie to more than 300 million Americans. I honestly don’t know how Joe Biden does it. I suppose that after you have been lying for your entire career, lying comes as naturally as breathing does. Sadly, there are still millions of Americans that are falling for his lies after all this time. Biden would like for us all to believe that the economy is “booming”, that the southern border is under control, that our communities are safe, and that Ukraine is going to win their war against Russia. Our entire society is literally crumbling all around us, and Biden and his minions have brought us to the brink of global war. I am entirely convinced that he has been the worst president in U.S. history, and that is really saying something. Ultimately, Joe Biden is just another slimy politician that is trying to save his job. I get that. But come on man, how can anyone actually believe the nonsense that he is shoveling? There are a few numbers that Biden can cherry pick to try to make himself look good, but here are 21 facts that Joe Biden doesn’t want you to know… 1. It takes the typical U.S. household $1,069 more a month just to purchase the same goods and services that it did three years ago. 2. Two-thirds of the respondents to one recent survey indicated that they had to take action to deal with rising financial stress within the past year. Those actions included “cutting back on spending, skipping monthly bills, or taking an additional job”. 3. Home insurance rates have risen by 38 percent since 2019. 4. Home rental prices are up 30 percent since Joe Biden entered the White House. 5. A whopping 61 percent of U.S. renters cannot afford the rent on a median-priced apartment in the United States right now. 6. Gasoline prices are up 46 percent since Joe Biden entered the White House. 7. The average rate on a 30 year fixed mortgage is up 148 percent since Joe Biden entered the White House. 8. According to Zillow, the monthly mortgage payment on a typical home in this country has almost doubled during the past four years. 9. One recent poll discovered that 44 percent of retired Americans are considering going back to work because the cost of living has become so oppressive. 10. New home sales fell 11.3 percent last month. 11. Pending home sales are dropping at the fastest rate ever recorded. 12. According to the House Budget Committee, there have been more than 8 million migrant encounters nationwide while Joe Biden has been in the White House. We truly are in the midst of an immigration crisis that is far greater than anything that we have ever witnessed before. 13. Thanks to our unprecedented immigration crisis, the homeless population in the city of Chicago actually tripled in just one year. 14. Murder rates are up by double digit percentages in many major U.S. cities this year. 15. Continuing jobless claims just shot up to the highest level in almost three years. 16. The number of job openings in the United States has dropped to the lowest level in more than 3 years. 17. Rite Aid just announced that it will be closing 27 more stores. That is on top of more than 500 stores that it has already decided to shut down. 18. Walgreens plans to close approximately one-fourth of its 8,600 U.S. stores. If the economy really was “booming”, why would they be doing this? 19. Today, 20 percent of the entire population of the state of California is living in poverty. 20. According to one recent survey, 46 percent of Americans don’t even have 500 dollars saved up. 21. So far, the U.S. has spent a total of approximately 175 billion dollars on the war in Ukraine, and the Russians are still winning. Over the past three and a half years, there has just been one epic failure after another. The nightmarish withdrawal from Afghanistan set the stage for the entire Biden presidency. Everything that Biden and his minions have touched has gone sour. In fact, usually the best thing that Biden and his minions can do to solve a problem is to do nothing at all. Have you ever known someone that has a knack for royally messing things up no matter how hard they try? Unfortunately, Biden and his minions aren’t just incompetent. They have blended extreme incompetence with sheer evil, and now they are asking voters to give them a chance to run America for another four years. But if we stay on the path that we are on, will our nation even survive? If we want to turn things around, we need to do the exact opposite of what we have been doing. And we better move fast, because the clock is ticking… PROPHECY UPDATE VIDEOS

I’m sure there are many ideas about that, but the best possible leader is King Jesus. There will be no peace on earth until He reigns, and I look forward to that time. There has always been a need for strong world leaders who know the Lord, and the Psalmist writes “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.” Psalm 33:12. This, of course, is speaking of Israel, but the truth is universal. If God’s laws and His word are taken seriously by government leaders, that nation will not fail. Struggles might arise, but if God is the King, who can stand against Him? Israel has had a long history of struggles, and those struggles still go on today. God chose Abraham to be the father of the nation of Israel. Abraham learned to trust God and God allowed hm to father a son in his old age. Isaac was the promised son and the one through whose lineage the nation of Israel would be established through his son Jacob, who was renamed Israel. Jacob fathered 12 sons and a daughter, and those sons were the patriarchs of the 12 tribes that formed the nation of Israel. The Old Testament is a history of the nation of Israel as well as prophecy, and we can learn so much from Israel’s struggles. God gave Abraham the Promised Land forever, and today we are watching an evil war because their right to the land is being challenged. We must always remember that God told Abraham “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” Genesis 12:3. A good national leader will bless Israel and God’s blessings will follow. At one time America blessed Israel, but today our leadership…or lack thereof…doesn’t bless God or Israel. Our nation is falling apart. God called Abraham away from the pagan life and idol worship in which he had lived. It’s impossible to serve God while serving pagan idols. Abraham was quite old when God told him he would father a son. The conversation was overheard by Sarah, Abraham’s wife, who was well past the age of bearing children, and she laughed “And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.” Genesis 17:19. His name was to be Isaac, which means “he laughs”. Abraham and Sarah did have a son, named Isaac who grew and became the father of twins, Esau and Jacob. Esau was the eldest, but not at all leadership material. Jacob had many drawbacks, but God knew he would become a Godly man, and chose him to be the one to establish the nation. Jacob wrestled with God and God allowed the struggle until Jacob was ready to submit. Jacob was given a new name. “And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel, for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.” Genesis 32:28. Jacob means “heel holder” or “supplanter” but Israel means “God prevails”. We can learn a good lesson from Jacob and how he struggled against God. We can fight God and wear ourselves out holding on to our own selfish ways, or we can stop fighting God and allow His blessing on our life. Jacob was blessed, and his descendants became the nation of Israel. The family moved to Egypt to avoid famine, and eventually became slaves. After many years as slaves, they began to worship the pagan idols found in Egypt. God never turned away from them and eventually sent Moses to convince Pharoah to set them free. When they finally gained their freedom, God established his Law by giving it to Moses who led the Israelites out of Egyptian captivity. God’s Law gave them a standard by which to live; a moral foundation to build their life upon. Israel hasn’t always been obedient to God’s word, but He has always loved them. After leaving the captivity in Egypt they were to travel to and possess the Promised Land. Unfortunately, they were afraid to enter the land that God had promised to Abraham many years before. “And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.” Numbers 13:33. The giants they found there were Nephilim. Even though God had proved over and over that He would take care of them, their fear stopped them from trusting Him. Their lack of trust caused them to wander for 40 years until it was time for them to conquer their God-given land. Led by Joshua, they were able to claim their God-given land. Joshua was a smart man. Before they started to fight, he required the people to get right with God. He circumcised the men and re-established Passover. It's always smart to be right with God. Maybe Christians need to pay attention. First, get right with God by repenting of sin and wickedness, then live according to God’s word. Then we will be equipped to fight the spiritual battle before us. After the fighting was done, Joshua called the leaders of the tribes together to review their history and remind them what God had done for them. It’s time that Americans review the history of our nation and remember what God has done. Joshua reminded them of how Abraham’s family served false gods, but God brought Abraham away from the evil life of idolatry. Joshua reminded them of how God blessed Abraham. Years later, Jacob and his family moved to Egypt because of famine, and the circumstances that made his son Joseph ruler over Egypt, only subject to Pharaoh. That ultimately led to the Hebrews becoming slaves in Egypt, but God had sent Moses and Aaron to Egypt to free the Hebrew slaves. Pharoah refused, so God sent plagues until Pharoah finally set the slaves free. After that, God provided protection by allowing them to pass through the Red Sea as if they were walking on dry land, but the Egyptian army was drowned. God gave manna for them to eat and provided water. God helped them win the battle for their land. As Joshua recounted their history, he challenged his listeners.: “Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD. And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye shall serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Johsua 24:14-15. Oh, to have a leader like Joshua. Not only did he understand what God had done for Israel and how they should honor Him, but Joshua understood that as a man of God, he needed to lead his family in the service of the Lord. How did the people respond? “And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods.” Joshua 24:16. How would you answer Joshua’s question? Would you put your trust in the false gods of sin or would you follow God Almighty? The Israelites understood what God had done, but their memory would soon fade. It’s always good to review history and see what God has done. For the Christian, we should be very enthusiastic to serve the Lord. Jesus fulfilled the Law and He laid down His life to be our final sacrifice for sin, and to offer salvation to all who truly believe. Review what He has done for you, then answer Joshua’s question. Who will you serve? After Joshua died, things got tough. There were still battles to be fought, but God should have been their king. The people moved farther and farther away from God. Judges were raised up periodically to hear God and lead the nation for short periods. Ultimately, the Israelites came to the point that lawlessness was abounding. “In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.” Judges 17:6. It seems we are once again at that point. Lawlessness abounds. The “woke” generation is ignorant about God and what He has done, they are also ignorant of American history, and even world history. Most are just concerned about their own selfish wants and desires, giving no thought to God. What a sad place to be in life. I have to say that I admire the Governor of Louisiana for signing into law that the Ten Commandments be displayed in every classroom in the state. It’s about time that the filth that’s being taught to children is counteracted by God’s Truth. I’m sure the Civil Liberties Union will have a lot to say, but what are they afraid of? Are they afraid that children will learn that they are created male and female with no grey areas? That they should not lie or steal? That they should honor their parents. Are they afraid that people will be stopped from doing what is right in their own eyes and realize that there is a God who needs to be honored? That we are to have no gods before God Almighty. When people follow the ways of the world, there is trouble. Israel had God’s law to follow but they wanted to be more like the world. Big mistake. God had chosen a man to be a great king over Israel, but at that time, David was just a boy watching over his father’s sheep. Samuel was a judge and a prophet of God. He had two sons who were not at all Godly men. “And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.” 1 Samuel 8:3. Sounds a lot like politicians today. The elders of Israel went to Samuel “And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.” 1 Samuel 8:5. Why would they want a king like the world when God’s rule is so much better? Samuel wasn’t happy so he went to God. “And the LORD said unto Samuel, “Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.” 1 Samuel 8:7. Is that what America has done? Rejected God? It sure looks that way. This is a very sad comment about Christians. If we are solid in our faith and honor God, how is it that America allows abortion, same sex marriage, child pornography, transgender atrocities, and more? Like Israel, we have rejected God and have received what we deserve. Israel was given King Saul who was a bit crazy. Today America has a president who seems to be unable to put a thought into intelligent words. Unless we get on our knees and earnestly repent and pray, more and more evil will be poured out upon this once great nation. There is a remnant who honor God, and we need to become the majority. God did eventually send Samuel to anoint David as king over Israel. David loved the Lord and, though he made some huge mistakes, he truly repented and turned from his sin. Remember, when a person truly repents and turns to God, their sins are forgiven. As we think about elections and who will lead our nation, remember the history of America. Our history has included some bad things, but that’s no excuse to allow riots that destroy property and livelihoods. We cannot continue to condone sexual perversion and the murder of babies. When everybody does what’s right in their own eyes, we cannot expect God to bless us. Think about how the man you vote for feels about Israel and remember that God blesses those who bless Israel. Only God can make a nation great, and it’s up to each of us individually to honor God with our life. If you’re looking for a king, look to Jesus, not the world. If you’re looking to elect a president, pray and turn to Scripture for guidance then vote wisely.

The Rescue of The Rapture – Bill Perkins - https://compass.org/the-rescue-of-the-rapture/ Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come. 1Thes. 1:10b Today ads still run in Santa Clara County, California, pushing the Covid va((inations. Let me repeat, the local county public health is still advertising for its citizens to take multiple Covid va((inations. Those who have followed Compass eNews know full well taking any Covid or mRNA va((nation is ludicrous. But guess what, so do the employees in Santa Clara County. Their own data shows that if you take the shot, you are more likely to get Covid.(1) Not to mention it could cause disability or even death. So you have a public health department that knows 100% that it’s dangerous to get the va((ine, but it’s not warning anyone of that danger. Why in the world do we have public health departments? Shouldn’t one of their responsibilities be to warn citizens of a deadly dangerous drug—and not to encourage taking it? Shouldn’t they demand that a dangerous drug be taken off the market to protect its citizenry? Facts don’t seem to matter. Bizarre health decisions, like from Santa Clara County, are still happening all over the earth. Worldwide, the leaders who have control are hiding the death and disabilities of all the people who have taken the Covid shot(s). For four years we’ve shown in this eNews scores of studies and surveys proving millions have already been disabled or have died around the world from the Covid mRNA va((ines. Recently, the certifiably brilliant Dr. Peter McCullough wrote: “Serial injections of lipid nanoparticles laced with pseudouridinated mRNA coding for the Spike protein of a coronavirus sounds like a bad idea from the description. “Now four years into the mass vaccination debacle, more manuscripts have emerged describing the broad and long-lasting effects of these injections on the human body. “It should be no surprise that allergic dermatitis, mast cell activation syndrome, asthma, increased frequency of upper respiratory illnesses, and other syndromes consistent with immune system dysregulation occur after COVID-19 vaccination.” Dr. McCullough made these comments after researching a study(2) on the immune system deregulation and inflammatory signatures left by the vaccines in the human body. The study showed substantial evidence that COVID-19 vaccines exposed people to an increased risk of immune deregulation. When your God-designed immune system is compromised, cancer and autoimmune diseases flourish in the human body. The killer (pun intended) is that the Globalists/Satanists in control worldwide knew they were dangerous before they were distributed worldwide. That’s called premeditated murder. It was only because the bad guys had control of most news and social media that the Globalists/Satanists were able to pull off the ruse. As evidence leaked out showing problems of disability and death with the va((ine rollout, it’s been proven that it was covered up as much as possible …in order that the poisonous shots could continue to be given. (They even duped a lot of Christians.(4) And I’ve not heard one apology from one well-known Christian admitting they were duped and were sorry for what they advocated. Hopefully I missed some of those apologies.) I’ve often wondered what Christian ministries received wads of money to encourage the death shots? None have admitted their guilt, but God knows who they are and they need to come clean. Using underhanded tactics to coerce people into taking va((ines was stated by none other than the head-demon in charge of the death-shot rollout, Dr. Fauxi himself, in his recent congressional testimony. Fauxi ADMITTED he and the Medical Industrial Complex exploited the COVID-19 crisis for profit and control. Fauxi ADMITTED that when lawsuits dismantled his original “legal basis” for an mRNA vaccine mandate, he helped orchestrate the private sector to implement baseless over-reaching Covid vaccine mandates. And to repeat Fauxi’s now famous quote: “When you make it difficult for people in their lives, they lose their ideological bullsh**t.” The only thing you can conclude from all these verifiable facts is that the vaccines have a larger, worldwide, sinister purpose. And, as we already know, this fits like a glove with Bible prophecies that declare billions of people will die during the tribulation—tied majorly to the use of “pharmakeia”; i.e., drugs. …they did not repent of their sorceries [drugs] (Greek word—“pharmakeia”) Rev. 9:21 And if in fact Babylon is the USA in the latter days, and I contend it is(3), God says: …all the nations were deceived by your sorcery [drugs]. [Greek word “pharmakeia”] Rev. 18:23 Don’t miss the “all”… meaning worldwide. I wonder which nation has been distributing poisonous drugs worldwide? Hmmm… And if billions are to die right after the Rapture, if we’re close to our exciting exit, it shouldn’t surprise us to see the worldwide deaths begin to escalate before the Rapture. “…He who now restrains [God's Holy Spirit present on earth] will do so until he is taken out of the way.” 2Thes. 2:7 And once the devil is unrestrained, he will gleefully usher in unimaginable death and destruction. All this is painfully obvious to any Believer with two brain cells. It’s clearly laid out in the Bible for those who have Holy Spirit illumination. The rest of the non-Believing world (and even some Believers) will be caught totally flat-footed. God is revealing this information to his Church so that we will not be distraught over watching what is happening all around us. He knew we would get nervous watching all that's coming. Rather, we are to comfort one another that we are getting closer and closer to the rescue of the Rapture. Therefore comfort one another with these words. 1Thes. 4:18 How close we don’t know. If I had to guess, the last years of the Church Age are down to single digits. And, of course, the Bible has always said our rescue could happen at any moment. It’s referred to as the “Doctrine of Imminency.” (I would argue that Israel had to have returned to their homeland before the Rapture, but most Bible experts disagree. Not a hill to die on.) And it’s interesting that the Greek word translated “rescue” in 1Thes. 1:10b is the same word used here: He rescued us from the domain of darkness,… Col. 1:13b The Greek word translated “rescue” in both Col. 1:13 and 1Thes. 1:10 is the word “rhoumai.” It means to “draw to oneself.” It may be cleverly connected to the Rapture when Jesus removes/rescues us to Himself in the sky. It is an amazing privilege to be alive at a time like this! Jesus compared today to being just like before Noah’s flood. Things were normal, even though the world was very wicked. Right up to the time when the fountains of the deep were opened and the rain came from above causing the global flood, people had no clue what was coming. all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened. Gen. 7:11b In those days people were buying, selling, eating, drinking, building and having weddings (Matt. 24/Luke 17), then suddenly all Hades broke loose. Jesus said the days before the Rapture will be "just like" the days of Noah before the flood. “For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. Matt. 24:37 “And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: Luke 17:26 So this is what it will look like: "Just like" means "just like!" Most people will have no clue. As you can conclude from the charts above, Noah represents the Church, the Body of Christ. "Just like" Noah, we're taken up and over the Tribulation. And like Noah, we'll return to the earth and a new time period will begin. So if Noah represents the Church, what was he doing right before the flood? Peter gives us some insight... Noah, a preacher of righteousness 2Pet. 2:5b The word "preacher" in the Greek means "herald, of divine truth."A herald is a messenger, an announcer, a bearer of news...like a town crier. My dictionary says a herald also denotes a signal or forewarning. Hence, Noah was busy warning the world about what was coming—a world disaster, a worldwide flood where most air-breathing humans, animals and birds would die. Noah would also have been ridiculed for saying water would flood the earth over the tops of the highest mountains when it had never rained a drop anywhere in the world! But a mist used to rise from the earth and water the whole surface of the ground. Gen. 2:6 Noah did his best to warn a wicked world of a coming worldwide event that had never happened before. We too are placed here by the Lord in this day to warn a wicked world of a worldwide event that's never taken place before. We are to be heralds to our friends, family and coworkers, boldly forewarning of what's coming. And for those who, like in Noah's day, laugh and ridicule us, we need to share with them that if we're right, and the Rapture does happen, and they are left behind, that they can still go to heaven. We’ve said many times that the only thing that matters on this earth for eternity is who goes to heaven and who goes to hell. And since there will be an uncountable number who get saved in the Tribulation, that's huge information to leave behind. After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands; Rev. 7:9 ...these who are clothed in the white robes, who are they, and where have they come from?" I said to him, ...“These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. For this reason, they are before the throne of God; Rev. 7:14b-15a So we have to keep the main thing the main thing as we live out the last days of the last days—planting seeds of hope. Forewarning people of the impending disaster. And even more boldly as we see the day approaching. CQLJ!

We have churched together, shared holidays, I coached their boys in football, and we even lived together for a while when they were building a house. They now live in South Carolina. And we visit each other as often as we can. The last couple of times we went to South Carolina, it’s been in our RV—something Bob, a former tent camper like me, had been considering. Now Linda is another story. Although she can be a rugged individualist, she prefers comfort. So if she was going to go camping, it would be more of a “glamping” trip. Well, thoughts often become action. You won’t believe what happened to these “first timers.” It all started with a call from their four-year-old granddaughter, “Papa and Gemma, I want you to come to Disney World with me.” As Bob puts it, “If you are a grandparent, you full well know there is only one correct response to an invitation like that.” The Bishop’s son, daughter-in-law and two granddaughters (4 and 1) are full-time RVers because of their work. Bob and Linda seized the chance to rent an RV to meet them in Orlando. And despite advice to the contrary, Bob went big, as he says, “a 38-foot Class A behemoth with a king sized bed, bath-and-a-half, dozens of slide outs, and a full length basketball court!” And so the trip begins. Bob went on: “A right turn out of the RV storage center, a quick lane change to set up a bat-turn across a busy four lane highway, and full throttle to get out of the way of oncoming traffic. “The 38-footer rocked back-and-forth out of the thrilling hairpin turn for the better part of 20 seconds, before finally settling down. All to the dismay of my wife, Linda, who by this time was speaking in an elevated voice, “Bob, we’re going to turn over!” Then there was a near miss of an 18-wheeler on the side of the road. As Bob retells: “Linda screamed, “We’re going to hit that truck!” In fact, she kept screaming it. Like, way more than once. I glanced over and deadpanned, “You are not helping.” We roared past the idling Freightliner, no problem…plenty of room to spare…piece of cake…I would say we had every bit of two inches between our mirrors.” But the wind for a first-timer was really scary. “What was making all of this maneuvering so difficult was a strong crosswind of 25-35 MPH coming at us broadside. “It only took about ten minutes for Linda to reach her conclusion: we are not buying an RV! As for me, it was too soon to conclude anything.” Bob said he was too busy trying to figure out how to change lanes or what he’s to do with that toll booth coming up, and how long to release one hand from the steering wheel to reach for a drink of water with Linda saying, “Keep both hands on the wheel! I’ll feed you a drink of water!” Over the next few hours I became more comfortable with the wind and the handling of the RV. Linda finally settled in, became a little more trusting, and a lot more grateful we were still alive. Well, I say settled in…Linda would say, she was recovering from a nervous breakdown. After a long four-hour drive, we arrived safely at the RV campground near Disney.” Bob concluded, “Curiously, as an aside, when we returned the RV to its owner, Linda stepped out of the rig, dropped to her knees, and kissed the ground. I wonder why she did that?? But, as for me…I was already thinking ahead to that 40-foot Class A diesel pusher…!” The Good Book says that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance character; and character, hope. I’m sure that after that character-building experience, there is a lot of hope—one way or another! Daily Devotion: While We Can - by Greg Laurie – www.harvest.org We must quickly carry out the tasks assigned us by the one who sent us. The night is coming, and then no one can work. —John 9:4 https://harvest.org/resources/devotion/while-we-can/ - Listen The famous film Schindler’s List tells the true story of Oskar Schindler, a businessman during World War II who hired Jewish people to work for him. After seeing the Nazis shoot Jewish people in cold blood in a Kraków ghetto, he decided to spend his life trying to save Jews. And he was quite successful. At the end of the film, Schindler’s factory is shut down, and he prepares to flee the country. Having saved more than one thousand Jews, he says to Itzhak Stern, the Jewish man who was assisting him, “If I just—I could have got more.” Stern says, “Oskar, there are 1,110 people alive because of you. Look at them.” “If I’d made more money,” Schindler says. “I threw away so much money. You have no idea. If I just—” “There will be generations,” Stern says, “because of what you did.” “I didn’t do enough.” “You did so much,” Stern replies. Think about how some people, even Christians, will feel when they look back at their lives. They will say, “What a waste! I could have done so much more! I could have made a greater difference! Why didn’t I do that?” Nothing is ever wasted if it is done with the right heart for the glory of God. For instance, someone might give up a promising career to go to the mission field. Some will say, “What a waste.” Or, you may give up certain pleasures and activities because you don’t want to dull your spiritual life. And some will say, “What a waste. You missed out.” Maybe you recognize that the work of the kingdom is worth investing in financially, so you give faithfully and regularly. And people say, “What a waste. You should have kept it for yourself.” But at the end of our lives, we want to hear God say, “Well done.” One day, as Christians, we will stand at a judgment seat. This won’t be a judgment of whether we will go to Heaven. Rather, this judgment will take place in Heaven. The Bible describes it this way: “But on the judgment day, fire will reveal what kind of work each builder has done. The fire will show if a person’s work has any value” (1 Corinthians 3:13 NLT). As Alan Redpath once put it, you can have a saved soul and a lost life. God will look at our motives, at our whys. And if we have been faithful and served the Lord with what He has set before us, we will be rewarded. It is not enough just to get to Heaven. We want to go to Heaven having done something with our lives for God’s glory. That is what Mary did when she anointed Jesus with the flask of costly fragrant oil. Jesus said, “She has done what she could and has anointed my body for burial ahead of time” (Mark 14:8 NLT). God has given us all influence, opportunities, resources, and time. Let’s do what we can while we can. Because on that final day, we will wish we’d done more.
