The Rapture is Imminent - By Rick Segoine - https://www.raptureready.com/2023/07/18/the-rapture-is-imminent-by-rick-segoine/
 
Speaking of the Rapture to His disciples, Jesus made it plainly clear when He said, “But of that day and hour no man knows, no, not the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only” (Matthew 24:36; (Mark 13:32).
 
In these same chapters of Matthew, Mark, and Luke 21 as well, Jesus gave numerous signs to look for so that those alive in the days just preceding the Rapture would realize that the very time was at hand. Jesus had chastised the Pharisees and Sadducees for being blind to the signs of His first Advent.
 
“The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven. He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times” (Matthew 16:1-4).
 
On the other hand, Jesus blessed all who, in the future, would be reading the words of prophecy and watching so as to be able to discern the signs of the times and the approaching of His second Advent.
 
“Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near” (Revelation 1:3).
 
What does it mean to say that the Rapture is imminent? The meaning of the word imminent can be expressed in a number of ways that all mean basically the same thing, such as: about to occur, soon to happen, ready to take place, just around the corner, just up around the bend, sooner than you might think, and nearer than you can possibly imagine, just to name a few. And yet, we must remember, the Father alone knows the day and the hour.
 
Ever since the first century and up to the present times, individuals have incorrectly predicted the day and hour in utter defiance of the words of Jesus. The false prophecy Hall of Shame is packed with wannabe prophets who tried and failed to predict the day and the hour. An interesting side note is that the current ongoing record for false predictions is ten. This Hall of Shame dubious honor goes to the Jehovah’s Witnesses.
 
God Almighty, who declares the end from the beginning, gives us many scriptural signs and clues and commands us to watch and to discern and to pay attention to these clues, and these signs, and all of the historical events recorded in the Bible, as well as the Hebrew festivals and marriage protocols that are much like shadows (previews if you will) of things to come.
 
All of the signs are converging right this very minute, and other clues are being revealed also, from both Old and New Testament scriptures.
 
In Luke 12:2, Jesus says, “There is nothing concealed that will not be made known.”
 
Without predicting a day or an hour, here are some biblical clues to consider regarding the nearness to the day the Apostle Paul describes in the passages of 1st Thessalonians 4:16-17 when he says, “For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the Archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall be ever with the Lord.”
 
One of the most familiar signs of the end times is the rebirth of the nation of Israel in 1948, which many regard to be the starting date for the fulfillment of the words spoken by Jesus when He said, “I tell you the truth, this generation shall not pass away until all these things take place” (Matthew 24:34; Mark 13:30; Luke 21:32).
 
There are debates as to how many years comprise a generation according to Hebrew traditions, but modern-day Israel just celebrated its 75th anniversary. Many scholars believe that 75 years represents one full generation.
 
The rebirth of Israel, the formation of the end-times geo-political alliances prophesied in Ezekiel 38-39, the staggering level of international moral decay, the vile satanically inspired globalist assault on humanity and on everything decent, the assembly of the monetary systems that will allow the antichrist to control buying and selling along with the now in place technology to administer the mark of the beast – together with all of the other signs given by Jesus in Matthew chapter 24 and Luke chapter 21 converging for the first time here in the year 2023 — are alone strong evidence of where we are on the prophetic timescale. In Matthew 24:33, Jesus says, “When you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door.”
 
Those of us who are obeying the command of Jesus to watch and are watching closely and with a passion and a longing for His return can see by the converging signs and also sense by the groanings of the Holy Spirit within us as we witness the worldwide acceleration of mind-numbing wickedness, that not only are we in the very closing stages of the church age but actually right at the very door of the fulfillment of 1st Thessalonians 4:16-17.
 
Will the Rapture happen this year in the year 2023?
 
No human can guarantee it happening in 2023, but there are reasons to believe that it could happen, and for some watchers, even considered to be probable.
 
Besides so many signs of the end times converging all at the same time, some of the clues appear to be mathematical.
 
I say “appear” to be mathematical because that is where things can get tricky. That is where sincere and well-meaning sincere seekers of biblical truth can get tripped up. It is possible to get tripped up mainly because of the various types of calendars and time-measuring methods that have been employed over the centuries by different cultures and groups, many of which do not line up with one another. This has caused confusion and much disagreement.
 
Even many an actual mathematical genius has burned the midnight oil in efforts to come up with the correct numbers. Yet, it is scriptural that numbers play a big part in the revelations God has given to us.
 
It is revealed in 2nd Peter 3:8 and Psalm 90:4 that with the Lord, “a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.” This declaration simplifies things for a non-math genius like me.
 
A thousand years as a day to the Lord has been discussed in many wonderful articles. The Lord’s Week of Creation. Seven millenniums. Seven is the Lord’s number of completion.
 
Many, if not the majority of Bible scholars, agree that the most accurate calendar is the Hebrew calendar, also known as the Lunar-Solar Calendar. According to this, Jesus was born in 4BC and was crucified and rose from death in 30AD. If that is accurate, and I, along with many, believe that it is, then that means when 2,000 years, or two days from the Lord’s point of view, have passed from the year of the Resurrection, we come to the year 2030.
 
The next day (1,000 years) from that point would be the 7th millennium aka the 7th day of the Lord’s “Week of Creation.” If we allow for the 7-year tribulation period aka “the 70th week of Daniel” aka “the time of Jacobs Trouble,” which precedes the year 2030, we land on the year 2023 as the year that the “restrainer” is removed, the remnant church is taken up and the 7-year tribulation period begins soon thereafter. The “restrainer” being the Holy Spirit, who also resides within all true believers.
 
This is, if accurate, a huge mathematical clue. This combined with the first-time-ever convergence of all of the end times signs given especially by Jesus in the gospel books Matthew, Mark, Luke, and the book of Revelation, as well as the revelations given to and through the Apostle Paul, and the Prophet Daniel, all together declare that the Rapture is indeed imminent.
 
There is another intriguing and quite amazing clue, and it can be found in the very first word in the book of Genesis. It is the Hebrew word “berisheet,” which, translated into English, literally means “in the beginning.” In this one word, God declares the end from the beginning. Literally from the beginning. Isaiah 46:9-10 says this: “Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God and there is none like me. I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.'”
 
The Hebrew language is written from right to left and contains words and word pictures, and each letter and each word contain numerical values. It is unique in this way, and as far as I know, it is the only language on earth that has these three combined characteristics.
 
In regard to this word “berisheet,” I would recommend a video on YouTube entitled “Berisheet Passover Prophecy,” where the narrator, who is well-versed in Hebrew, breaks down the very first word of the Bible in great detail. It lays out the “Week of Creation” in its’ entirety and also arrives at the year 2030 for the Second Coming and the year 2023 for the Rapture.
 
That one word, the very first word in the book of Genesis, is a brilliantly designed capsule containing the 7,000-year plan of our Creator and what will come to pass at the end of His “Week of Creation” when He creates a new heaven and a new earth that will be without a trace of wickedness — which means no more wickedness for all of eternity. For those of us who are sick and tired and just fed up with wickedness, we all say together with one voice to echo through the Halls of Heaven, Hallelujah and Praise the Lord.
 
In summing up, it is true that no one knows the day or the hour. Nowhere in scripture does it say, however, that the year could not be known. Especially, in light of the revelation that in the end times, the hidden things would be uncovered and made known to all. (Luke 12:2)
 
To this watcher, the years 2023 and 2030 ring true, but I am not predicting it, but rather taking a very long and strong look at this possibility because if it is true, then the Rapture is imminently imminent. If 2023 should pass and the Rapture does not happen, we then must continue watching, preparing, praying with great patience, and doing our all to share the Gospel of Salvation. Bottom line is always Thy Will be done, oh Lord. The Rapture will happen when the Lord decides it is time and then only. It is a very good thing, however, and to be like the five virgins whose lamps were full and fully prepared to stand before Lord Jesus.
 
I would encourage anyone who has not seen the video to watch it, and then decide for yourself.
 
WATCH: https://youtu.be/WIWSqT7T-is
 
There is one thing for certain: The Rapture is not getting farther and farther away. It is, for a fact, getting closer and closer, and the signs don’t lie. The signs don’t lie because they come from the Lord Himself, and the Lord not only does not lie; He is incapable of such a thing.
 
1st Thessalonians 4:15-18 says these amazing beautiful words: “For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort each other with these words.”
 
If you are someone who has read this article and have never given your life to Jesus, please consider doing so this very day. He loves you more than you can imagine. He willingly laid down His life for you and for me and for everyone so that we may live eternally with Him. Believe in Him and trust in Him. He will become your very best friend and will remain so for all eternity.
 
Romans 10:9-10 says this: “If you declare with your mouth Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.”
 
Lord, may your will be done,

Programmable Digital Currency Is Coming Sooner Than You Think – Aaron Dykes - https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=6223
 
Central banks and governments, at a global scale, have prepared to implement CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies) with important consequences for every aspect of freedom in our lives.
 
Though they will introduce it to the public gradually, its capacity for total control is immense.
 
It isn't merely that the new dollar is digital, traceable and trackable. It's based on blockchain technology, of course. It isn't merely that small business will be hurt (yet again) or that private transactions will be eradicated. Nor will it be merely consequential for drug dealers, scammers, or illicit trades.
 
CBDCs will be PROGRAMMABLE. Where and how money is spent is literally built into this new currency. And they plan to use it to change how money is used.
 
Yes, CBDCs are programmable. The executives that frequent the World Economic Forum and the other elite forums have said so.
 
And so, CBDCs will not just be money. No, not at all. CBDCs are designed as tools of a very political and ideological agenda; some of the worst policies that have been pushed in recent decades will now have the force of spending controls to "nudge" people into submission and compliance.
 
Again, CBDCs ARE PROGRAMMABLE. Whoever controls the money controls the agenda. That is the point.
 
Why is this important? Central banks, private banks, government authorities and global designers will have the power to turn on and off transactions of every kind. They can algorithmically-determine precisely what the CBDC money can be spent on; when and under what conditions; and by who.
 
At the touch of a button, PROGRAMMABLE cash in the form of CBDCs can block the sale of firearms, alcohol, cannabis or tobacco. Or other sensitive products. But that's just the start (you knew that).
 
At the same touch of a button, PROGRAMMABLE CBDCs can prevent the sale of meat, dairy, candy and junk food, or disallow the purchase of gasoline or use of a vehicle (and an endless array of other examples; you get the idea.)
 
With yet another press of the button, they can also freeze bank accounts of political dissidents -- like those supporting the recent trucker protest in Canada, for instance.
 
Spending under CBDCs could be allocated for specific purposes -- like rent and groceries -- or be timed to expire, requiring, for instance that money be spent by the end of the month.
 
CBDCs could also prevent individuals with "bad social-credit scores" from purchasing anything more than the bare basics of survival. Black Mirror's Nosedive has already depicted as much, but that's mild compared to what's possible.
 
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink recently said: "Behaviors are gonna have to change. And this is one thing we're asking companies -- you have to force behaviors, and at BlackRock, we are forcing behaviors."
 
The compliance of private businesses -- any major business who relies upon good standing in the global financial system -- can also mandate adherence to any number of political agendas and purchasing behaviors. Energy caps; green conscience laundering; medical misinformation policies; sensitivity about world events, wars and catastrophes; identity politic political correctness shifting sand madness; polka-dots-over-stripes; anything is possible!
 
And the private policies of private banks and businesses -- ultimately steered by central bank CBDC policies -- could easily circumvent restrictions on our civil rights under governments and public systems. (And what could you really do about it? Where else could you go?) The Bank for International Settlements recently announced 93% of the world's central banks are currently working on a CBDC, and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is already hard at work on a global CBDC platform.
 
Social media and other tech giants have already paved the way to this version of circumnavigation-hell (I'm not touching you; I'm not touching you!!), even as it emerged that shadowy government agencies were literally coordinating the takedown of free speech online in violation of First Amendment protections.
 
This nightmare of privacy-less technological enslavement under CBDCs is complicated and perhaps predicated by the advent of AI and the loss of employment for hundreds of millions and even billions of people who once held relative autonomy over their own lives.
 
UBI (Universal Basic Income) funds will be increasingly provided by governments -- as it perhaps must be in a scenario with no meaningful employment -- not just for the poor and unemployed, but for nearly everyone. Certainly, people will need financial support to live their lives.
 
But that money would be used to control as much as it would be used to provide sustenance. Not only would every transaction large and small be tracked, but its use would be specifically tailored to the vision of life proscribed by the very powerful and their AI tech tools. Anything in violation of prevailing policies would be automatically out-of-bounds.
 
While this design could be used for good (though such powers are unwise), and many would give it that benefit of the doubt, those paying attention can see plainly its drawbacks and potential for the very worst.
 
With little-to-no context and no one to appeal to, an "artificially intelligent" system administers, gives, and takes away as it is programmed to do. Perhaps clumsily suppressing on the basis of key words and categories... perhaps insidiously on the basis of personalized profiles with millions of pieces of data. This system can and will automatically behaviorize all who live under its auspices, with grave consequences which are easy to predict. And even worse outcomes are quite possible.
 
Even under the most glowing version of this vision of the near future, where personal behaviors are improved, and people become "better" citizens, nicer neighbors and excellent stewards of the environment -- even then, if a positive outcome can even be supposed -- it would be a world without freedom.
 
Freedom itself is on the line under programmable CBDCs, in an almost direct way.
 
Instead of technology freeing us from worry, labor, and drudgery, it stands to reinforce and radically expand top-down control. This is not hyperbole.
 
New behaviorism -- such as living within one's allotted carbon footprint allowance -- could and would be enforced easily, but tyrannically under this kind of system. Likely it would come with a velvety touch and a gradual implementation to dissuade outrage and condition acceptance; but in of itself, the system could nonetheless be flipped-on overnight.
 
A government powerful enough to give to all, and yet also take away from all is not only possible, but immediately part of the scheme. Accountability, dissent, free expression, and independent lives could all become a thing of the past, replaced by an engineered obedience, dulled further by the extremes of algorithmically driven group think.
 
Polls show that CBDCs -- now being pursued by the Federal Reserve in the United States and by most every major government and financial system around the globe -- are extremely unpopular with the people, but only by those who are aware of their potential existence and uses.
 
The vast majority of the public -- most already lost in a sea of apathy and indifference -- remain ignorant of how radically the money system they live under is changing. People need to be informed. Dissent needs to be expressed now while it still can be.
 
The unfortunate, flawed maxim "If you're not doing anything wrong, you've got nothing to hide" is due for a nightmarish upgrade. The elites, already concentrated in wealth and power -- and now unleashing AI -- plan to literally program and control your entire life through digital currency.

Lab-Grown Beef and Chicken Will Soon Be In Your Local Grocery Store… - by Michael Snyder - http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/lab-grown-beef-and-chicken-will-soon-be-in-your-local-grocery-store/
 
Would you like to eat a slab of “beef” or “chicken” that has been artificially “grown” inside a giant vat filled with disgusting goo? Personally, I will never eat any “beef” or “chicken” that scientists have cooked up in a lab somewhere. In fact, I would rather crawl on my belly for a mile on a gravel road filled with razor-sharp glass shards than eat a single bite of lab-grown “meat”. I am sure that many of you feel the same. But it is coming anyway. In fact, CNN is reporting that Americans will be able to try lab-grown chicken “soon”…
 
Soon, Americans are going to be able to try chicken that comes directly from chicken cells rather than, well, a chicken.
 
On Wednesday, the USDA gave Upside Foods and Good Meat the green light to start producing and selling their lab-grown, or cultivated, chicken products in the United States.
 
The USDA really does a bang up job of protecting us, don’t they?
 
I can only imagine the new dangers that this sort of “meat” will bring to our population.
 
If you are not familiar with “lab-grown meat”, the following is a pretty good summary…
 
In a nutshell, lab-grown meat — or cultivated or cell-based meat — is meat that is developed from animal cells and grown, with the help of nutrients like amino acids, in massive bioreactors.
 
This happens in a production facility that looks a lot like a brewery: When you picture it, don’t think of people in white coats and hairnets peering through microscopes into petri dishes, but instead people in white coats and hairnets wandering between giant vats.
 
It wasn’t supposed to be available to the public so quickly, but apparently some people have already had an opportunity to sample it at a restaurant in San Francisco…
 
On Saturday, cultivated chicken tempura will be on Bar Crenn’s menu, served with a burnt chili aioli and garnished with greens and edible flowers. Chef Dominique Crenn took meat off the restaurant’s menu in 2018 “because of the impact of factory farming on animals and the planet,” according the the restaurant’s website, but is comfortable selling cultivated chicken.
 
Upside Foods held a contest on social media to determine who would be able to try the product at Bar Crenn, and those winners will be able to dig in this weekend. They’ll each pay a symbolic $1 to try the chicken. Contest winners also get to tour Upside Food’s Engineering, Production, and Innovation Center.
 
Yuck.
 
Just plain yuck.
 
We are being told that “lab-grown beef” is coming soon too, and it is being touted as an environmentally-friendly alternative to normal beef.
 
But according to one recent study, “lab-grown beef” is actually far worse for the environment…
 
Researchers at UC Davis have made a startling discovery that could change the way we view lab-grown meat.
 
As detailed in a yet-to-be-peer-reviewed paper, they found that the meat alternative’s environmental impact appears to be “orders of magnitude” higher than retail beef you can buy at the grocery store — itself already a very environmentally damaging foodstuff — at least based on current production methods.
 
If confirmed, the research could be damning: lab-grown meat, long seen as a greener alternative to meat products that don’t involve the slaughter of animals, could be more harmful to the environment than the products it’s trying to replace.
 
How ironic.
 
But no matter what the science actually shows, global leaders are not going to end their relentless war on normal meat any time soon.
 
In Germany, the minister of agriculture has come up with a plan to reduce the maximum daily intake of meat for Germans to just 10 grams…
 
Recently, the German Minister of Agriculture made another shocking statement. He plans to reduce the amount of meat eaten by all residents in Germany, aiming to change the diet structure by changing the habit of eating meat, so as to be environmentally friendly. He advocated “taking nutrition from green plants” and called for a maximum daily intake of 10 grams of meat per capita.
 
If this plan does get implemented, I think that there will be riots.
 
Nobody wants our politicians dictating what will and will not be in our diets.
 
But most of our politicians are control freaks that love to “play god”, and the same thing is true for many of our scientists.
 
For example, one team of scientists is actually trying to grow artificial human eggs in a laboratory…
 
Conception is trying to accelerate, and eventually commercialize, a field of biomedical research known as in vitro gametogenesis (IVG). “Basically, we’re trying to turn a type of stem cell called an induced pluripotent stem cell into a human egg,” Krisiloff says. “[This] really opens the door, if you can create eggs, to be able to help people have children that otherwise don’t have options right now.”
 
The experimental technology could help women who have lost their eggs to cancer treatment, women who have never been able to produce healthy eggs and women whose eggs are no longer viable because of their age.
 
This is so wrong.
 
If they are actually able to fertilize such a “human egg”, would such a being even be human?
 
It turns out that the same scientists are also growing “mini-ovaries” that will be used to “nurture” the artificial human eggs that they are developing…
 
Hurtado quickly returns the cells to the incubator and pulls out a rectangular dish. “These are some of our mini-ovaries,” he says. “These are a few weeks old now.”
 
Mini-ovaries are combinations of cells that the company has grown to nurture those primordial cells into becoming immature human eggs.
 
How sick is that?
 
There are certain things that should never be done.
 
But our scientists seem to have lost all restraint in this day and age.
 
As I have repeatedly reminded my readers, scientists are conducting extremely dangerous and extremely bizarre experiments in secret labs all over the planet.
 
The stuff that actually gets into the news is quite tame compared to what is really going on behind the scenes.
 
Our world is becoming a little bit more like a bad science fiction movie with each passing day, and in future years we are going to see things that will absolutely horrify all of us.

 


 


 
Nearing Midnight: The Worst President in American History – Todd Strandberg - https://www.raptureready.com/category/nearing-midnight/
 
It is quickly becoming obvious that Joe Biden is the worst Chief Executive we’ve ever had in the White House. The forces backing him have to be insanely evil and determined because a normal person would have long walked away from this mess.
 
The Biden family is completely corrupt. Everything Biden touches turns to trash — the economy, the failed banks, inflation, the ruined Mexican border, and the killer drugs. Biden’s thugs in the FBI, D.O.J., and New York have taken to arresting his political opponents. The modern Democrat party is turning America into a Banana Republic police state.
 
The most scary part is not that Biden has clear signs of dementia. Nobody in authority is willing to step in and resolve this problem. Joe Biden wandered around lost on stage at July 4th celebrations after barely slurring his way through a teleprompter speech.
 
“I don’t, man! I want to say hi to him!” Biden blathered, adding, “You’re trying to get me off stage! You’re afraid I’m gonna start singing!”
 
When a bag of cocaine was found at the White House, the story was not covered by the four major nightly news shows. If this discovery had occurred during the Trump administration, they would have broken into regular programming. Biden was asked questions about the cocaine, but he just ignored them because he knows he was not accountable.
 
Joe Biden’s mantra has always been that ‘the absolute most important thing is your family.’ It is the heart of his political narrative. Biden’s White House has been instructed not to acknowledge Hunter’s illegitimate daughter, which is why Biden has stated several times that he only has six grandchildren.
 
Milking family tragedies for political gain has long been his stock in trade. The moral tragedy of his son’s doing should be an opportunity to show how he really cares about family. His treatment of his granddaughter Navy just shows his true callous nature.
 
Up until now, the worst president in history was Jimmy Carter. He had the lowest poll numbers of any president since Harry Truman. Carter is the only Chief Executive to reach an approval rate that was in the 20s. Carter’s ratings wildly moved around. By the start of Carter’s four years, his approval rate had recovered to 57%. He left office with his ratings near his all-time low.
 
The approval rates for Biden have been in a steady decline the whole time he has been in office. He started out at 55%, and his rating quickly declined in the lower 40% range. The fourth year typically is the worst year for a president, but Biden may soon take out Carter’s record low.
 
James Howard Kunstler is a type of political writer who does not suffer fools gladly. At times, he is a harsh critic of both Republicans and Democrats. With most of the liberal media unwilling to say anything negative about Biden, it was refreshing for me to run across some of Kunstler’s remarks about the man:
 
Consider for a moment and be grateful for how perfect “Joe Biden” is as president of this foundering republic. He and his family project the rectified essence of every depravity now driving the life of our nation to some murky bottom, where it may be forced to assess its sorry state, repent, and perhaps recover (or just give up and die). There he stands, without ambiguity or conscience: “Joe Biden,” the personification of a failed state.
 
What we’re witnessing is an order of magnitude greater than Greek tragedy: the implacable drive to destroy not just the father, who happens (by the sheerest electoral subterfuge) to be president, but to take down the nation with him. And it’s working. The Biden family is crashing into smoldering wreckage, and so is the USA — as acted out in the sad-sack nation of Ukraine, a festering hub of Biden family moneygrubbing going back more than a decade, now being needlessly sacrificed as part of a massive criminal cover-up, with America’s geopolitical prestige on-the-line.
 
I know, the complexity of this melodrama is overwhelming. How can one bumbling political idiot wreak so much havoc? It’s a wonder, all right. But it’s all playing out before us in real time. “Joe Biden” — who (let’s face it) is only partly there.
 
If you have ever wondered how the American people could be so foolish to elect a man like Biden, you can credit God for this decision. The Lord gives a nation the leadership it deserves. Having a president that doesn’t know where he is half the time is a clear sign that God is very unhappy with our nation. I hope Jesus comes for the Church before the 2024 election. Since Trump will likely be the Republican Candidate, I greatly regret having to vote for him a third time. Trump is a deeply flawed person, but he is ten times better than someone like Biden.
 
“If you will fear the LORD and serve Him, and listen to His voice and not rebel against the command of the LORD, then both you and also the king who reigns over you will follow the LORD your God” (I Samuel 12:14).

 


 


 
Daily Jot: Stupidocrisy: Pulling the cocaine over our eyes - Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com
 
The Secret Service apparently has ended its investigation into the great cocaine finding at the White House. They don’t know. Inconclusive. Can’t figure it out. The only thing that would be more surprising is if they tried somehow to blame it on Donald Trump. Given the ridiculousness of this scam investigation, and the obvious attempt to cover it up by telling everyone that they just can’t find the person who put it there, they must take everyone in America to just be stupid. With all the visitor logs, the security clearances, security cameras and time stamps, it just doesn’t meet the “straight face” test that the most powerful investigative agencies in the world can’t find the cocaine stasher at the White House.
 
On July 5, Trump asked on Truth Social, “Does anybody really believe that the COCAINE found in the West Wing of the White House, very close to the Oval Office, is for the use of anyone other than Hunter & Joe Biden. But watch, the Fake News Media will soon start saying that the amount found was “very small,” & it wasn’t really COCAINE, but rather common ground up Aspirin, & the story will vanish.” Trump also asked where the security tapes were, “which will quickly show where the cocaine in the White House came from???,” adding that they already know the answer, but probably don’t like it. Certainly, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to answer whether Biden or his son may be responsible or whether the White House supports prosecuting the unknown cocaine smuggler.
 
As Trump predicted, the mainstream news media took sort of a “ho hum” approach to coverage. NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell tweeted, “Sources say the FBI crime lab used advanced techniques to attempt to lift a usable print. The packet was tested at two federal labs.” This followed her previous tweet: “New information on cocaine packet found in the WH July 2. Sources tell me no information resulting from forensic testing or video review has been able to identify a suspect. A list of several hundred individuals was compiled who may have had access to area.” Well, I guess that about wraps it up. Maybe they will move on to more in-depth coverage of something far more dangerous to national security—like Trump’s classified documents that exposed all of the US military secrets to the world—I’m being facetious.
 
The House Oversight letter demanding a briefing on the topic revealed that “According to a senior law-enforcement official, the cocaine was found in a storage facility that is “routinely used by White House staff and guests to store cell phones.” Maybe add to it and “secluded enough to snort cocaine without any possible detection.” I don’t know. But this is the type of investigation and wordplay that the leftists in charge think is fine and dandy to satisfy the peasants’ curiosity on things they just are too ignorant to understand—get my drift? Take heed. For as in 2 Corinthians 2:11, “Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” While many believe what they want to believe, we are not ignorant of what’s really going on here. One form or another, it’s, say it with me…Stupidocrisy.

 


 


 
Daily Devotion: Mouth Guarding - by Greg Laurie – www.harvest.org
 
Take control of what I say, O LORD, and guard my lips.
—Psalm 141:3
 
https://harvest.org/resources/devotion/mouth-guarding/ - Listen
 
Have you ever noticed that God gave us one mouth and two ears? Perhaps it’s because He wants us to listen more and speak less. How often we will jump to conclusions and pass judgment in a situation.
 
Yet the Bible says, “Spouting off before listening to the facts is both shameful and foolish” (Proverbs 18:13 NLT).
 
Sometimes we’ll hear a rumor and immediately conclude that it’s true. Instead, it would be better to say something like this: “I don’t know whether that necessarily would be true. What if it’s a complete lie? Let’s go ask that person about it.” You just might stop a rumor or put an end to gossip.
 
But how often we will pass a rumor on as though it were the truth. As a result, we can be guilty of slandering another person.
 
James 1:19 tells us, “Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry” (NLT).
 
David’s enemies lied about his character, and he wanted to be sure he didn’t make the same mistake they did. In Psalm 140 we read his laments over the lying tongues of others. But in the psalm that follows, we read how David recognized the danger of his own tongue.
 
He prayed, “Take control of what I say, O Lord, and guard my lips” (Psalm 141:3 NLT). That is something every one of us should pray daily.
 
David was essentially saying, “I can’t stop other people from lying about me, but I will not do it to them. I will not be guilty of it. But I need Your help, Lord. I can’t do this in my own strength.”
 
One little rumor, one little statement about someone that comes from our lips could inflict terrible damage. Don’t let that happen. Ask God to guard your lips.

"Folks, it's all beginning to unravel. America is in more danger of falling than at any time in its history. But I believe Bible prophecy predicts this very decline. From this point on, we believers have to get serious. We are going to face discouragement, disillusionment and, most certainly, persecution in the time between now and the Rapture. But don't be discouraged or disillusioned. The coming turmoil will provide us unrivaled opportunities to share the good news of the Gospel. So be ready to share your faith and your hope with those who need Christ. We still have time to reap a great harvest of souls for God's kingdom!" - Hal Lindsey
