The Second Horn – Randy Nettles - https://www.rev310.net/post/the-second-horn
 
An infamous map that divided the world into different regions was drawn up and published in 1942, after the attack on Pearl Harbor and the entry of the U.S.A. into World War II. The Outline of the Post-War New World Map was created and self-published by Maurice Gomberg of Philadelphia PA, on February 25, 1942. “Gomberg, a Polish Jewish emigre to the United States, created the map as a personal project, and little else is known of him. It shows a proposed political division of the world after World War II in the event of an Allied victory in which the United States of America, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union as well as the Republic of China would rule. The map includes a manifesto describing a ‘New World Moral Order’ along with quotes from Roosevelt's Four Freedoms speech.” More on this and the proposed map can be found on Outline of the Post-War New World Map - Wikipedia.
 
The Club of Rome was established in 1968 after a think-tank of scientists, politicians, heads of state, financiers, and industrialists from ten different countries, met at David Rockefeller’s private estate in Bellagio, Italy. It was established with a membership of 75 prominent elites from 25 different countries, with many of the executives coming from NATO. The Club of Rome functions as a research institute on economic, political, and social problems, and claims that “there is no other viable alternative to the future survival of civilization than a new global community under a common leadership.”
 
On September 17, 1973, the Club of Rome released a report called the “Regionalized and Adaptive Model of the Global World System.” This model plan would unite the entire world under a single form of government by dividing it into ten political/economic regions. These ten regions would be: North America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Japan, Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, South and Southeast Asia, China, and the rest of the developed world. The report claimed that “the solution of these crises can be developed only in a global context with full and explicit recognition of the emerging world system and on a long-term basis. This would necessitate, among other changes, a new world economic order and a global resources allocation system.”
 
In 1976, the C.O.R. published another report called “Reshaping the International Order” which called for a new international order, including an economic redistribution of wealth. They also called for depopulation through sterilization, abortion, contraception, genocide, and starvation through creating famines and diseases. In Taylor Caldwell’s 1976 novel Ceremony of the Innocent, she writes “there will be no peace in the tormented world, only a programmed and systematic series of wars and calamities- until the plotters have gained their objective: an exhausted world willing to submit to a planned Marxist economy and total and meek enslavement- in the name of peace."
 
In the fifty years since 1973, there have been many regional trade agreements between two or more governments/countries for the purpose of trade and commerce, such as the EU (Europe), CSME (Caribbean), EAEU (Post-Soviet Union), GCC (Arab States) Mercosur (South America), SICA (Central America), AU (Africa), ASEAN (Southeast Asian nations), and NAFTA, or now known as USMCA (United States, Mexico, and Canada). There have been numerous military alliances formed as well, such as NATO (U.S., Canada, Europe), NORAD (U.S. and Canada), CSTO (Russia and several post-Soviet States), ANZAC (Australia and New Zealand), AU (Africa), etc.
 
Thirty years ago, on Nov. 1, 1993, the first supranational union was formed when the European Union was formed. A supranational union or government is defined as a multinational union or association in which member countries cede authority and sovereignty on at least some internal matters to the group, whose decisions are binding on its members. A supranational organization involves a greater transfer of or limitation of state sovereignty than other kinds of international organizations. The EU has deep political, economic, and social integration, which includes a common market, joint border control, a supreme court, and regular elections. They have their own parliament, a combined-arm military unit, and even their own currency.
 
Now in 2023, I believe we are witnessing the second (of ten) supranational unions/governments beginning to form, the USMCA Union, between the United States of America, Canada, Mexico, and Central America. Our national sovereignty is being diminished by land, air, and sea assaults as we speak. Thanks to the 30330 man, Joe Biden, and his behind-the-scenes handlers (both human and demonic), we now have a country without borders. Of course, a country is not a country if it doesn’t have borders. Our borders with Mexico and Canada are wide open and emigrants from all over the world are pouring in. The monetary, cultural, health & welfare, and safety (for citizens and emigrants alike) ramifications of this worldwide mass emigration are highly destructive to its citizens and cannot be sustained for long if a country wishes to retain its national sovereignty.
 
We just witnessed the Chinese spy balloon that traversed much of the continental United States before finally being shot down. This was a blatant violation of our national air space by a foreign country with the intent of espionage, and yet President Biden and the military allowed it to happen before they finally acted. I believe the only reason they acknowledged it, and after several days shot it down, was because it was spotted by civilians and reported to the media. They should have known about it and shot it down while it was still above the Pacific Ocean before it ever entered Alaska. What would have happened if this balloon had a payload of an EMP nuclear bomb that was to detonate above the skies of America? Is the U.S. government and military deliberately setting up this country to fail?
 
It certainly makes one wonder about their weak and incompetent actions. 
 
“The Pentagon recently released a map showing the travel paths of Russian and Chinese naval vessels, alongside important undersea cables, as a part of its 2021 National Defense Authorization Act request, commonly referred to as the DoD’s budget. The map clearly shows the heavy traffic in both The Atlantic and Pacific oceans, with Russian subs encroaching on America’s eastern seaboard and Chinese submarines creeping up in the west.” DoD map shows Russian and Chinese subs are too close for comfort - Sandboxx.
 
The assault on our national sovereignty by land is self-inflected as we allow immigrants (and some terrorists) from around the world to illegally enter our country. Allowing our military to concentrate on wokeness rather than military readiness and demonstrating weakness (by land, air, and sea) rather than strength to our enemies is emboldening them to test us. Our country’s concentration on Russia as our greatest threat instead of China is a huge mistake in my estimation. Our lack of manufacturing and dependence on China’s exports makes us very vulnerable in our capacity to wage war. A war between our countries would basically cripple both economies.
 
Of course, those in charge don’t want the U.S.A. to retain its national sovereignty. It’s very obvious by their deliberate ruinous policies. Nobody can be that incompetent. The “elites” (in their own mind) want to form a second supranational union and government, based on the European Union, consisting of North and Central America. The one-world godless “build back better (Tower of Babel)” pawns of Satan want to create ten regions of power modeled after the Club of Rome’s ideal new world order. Each region will have its own government and currency but will probably take its directives from the EU where the Antichrist will eventually come from. South America, Africa, and Southeast Asian nations will follow the USMCA’s lead in merging sovereign nations into supranational governments until all ten regions are formed, just as the Bible describes.
 
I believe the Rapture will greatly speed up the process of the formation of the Beast (Ten horns/kings) Kingdom mentioned in Daniel 7:7-8, 23-25, and Revelation 17:12-14. The ten governments will eventually transform into a one-world government with an oligarchy of ten kings. A one-world currency will be implemented as well. There will also be one state-sanctioned religion. The Beast Kingdom will be a socialist/communist type of government with the citizens of the world being delegated to serfs. Massive depopulation of the earth (by whatever means necessary) will be a major objective of the Ten Kings’ government. These are the ultimate goals of the WEF’s Great Reset Initiative and the U.N.’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (climate change, etc.).
 
It would not surprise me if the future ten kings prophesied in the books of Daniel and Revelation attended the WEF’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland during the month of January 2023. One of these ten regions to be formed will be the USMCA and one of the ten kings shall rule in North America. If I was a betting man, I would put my money on Barack Obama, who once said (perhaps prophetically) at a White House Correspondents Association dinner in 2016, “the end of the Republic has never looked better.” What Barack Obama started, Joe Biden and the demonically-controlled Democrats (and some RINO Republicans) are determined to finish.
 
In the time of Moses and the Exodus, the law concerning witnesses was established. The law said, “by the mouth of two or three witnesses a matter shall be established” (Deuteronomy 19:15). The matter we are discussing is the end times for mankind according to the Holy word of God. Daniel, representing the Old Testament (book of Daniel), and John, representing the New Testament (book of Revelation) are the two witnesses required for this truth to be determined. Let’s examine how they intertwine and complement one another.
 
In Daniel 7, the vision of the four beasts is explained to Daniel by an angel. Most scholars believe it is a more thorough examination of Daniel 2 regarding the bi-metallic image or statue which represents four world (Mediterranean area) empires. The first kingdom represented Babylon which had the regal splendor of a lion (king of beasts) and an eagle (king of birds). The second kingdom represented the Medo-Persian empire. It had great power, like a bear, but not the regal characteristics of Babylon. The greater power of Persia as compared to the Medes is indicated by the bear raising up on one side. The three ribs in its mouth are a reference to the three provinces of Babylonia, Persia, and Media that they controlled.
 
The third kingdom was Greece represented by a leopard. It had all the characteristics of a leopard that strikes its prey with great speed and ferocity. The four wings and four heads of dominion are indicative of Alexander’s four generals who assumed control of Alexander’s kingdom after his death. The third and fourth kingdoms are identified by name in chapter 8 (20-21). Vs. 12 says that the first three kingdoms had their dominion taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time. This is referring to the fact that each kingdom was absorbed into the kingdom that followed.
 
The fourth kingdom was not named but was historically fulfilled by the Roman Empire. It crushed and devoured the countries it conquered. In Daniel 7:7, Daniel was told that the ten horns represented ten kings who would eventually arise from this conglomerated Roman Empire. They are also mentioned in Revelation 17:12-14. One of the ten horns represents a future Roman Kingdom (the EU) that will reappear in the end time.
 
Another “little horn” shall come up after the ten horns and shall subdue or conquer three of the kings (and/or kingdoms), per Daniel 7:8,24. This little horn is the Antichrist who is described as different from the ten kings, probably in reference to his acquiring his kingdom by force. The remaining seven kings will give their power and authority to the beast (little horn or A.C.) at this time according to Revelation 17:13. “These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast.” This will occur at the mid-point (in the midst) of the seven-year Tribulation (Daniel’s 70th seven).
 
According to Daniel 9:27, the Tribulation will begin when the “prince who is to come” (the A.C.) confirms a covenant with many (including Israel) for “one week” or seven years. The Rapture of the Church will occur prior to this “confirmation” (strengthening) of the covenant. I believe it could take several years after the Rapture before the A.C. arises after the ten kings (Daniel 7:24) to accomplish this important and historical (and prophetic) event.
 
This seven-headed beast with ten horns and ten crowns is further described in Revelation 13. “Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority” (Revelation 13:2). This beast kingdom has all of the military characteristics of the three world empires (Greece, Medo-Persia, and Babylon) mentioned in Daniel 7. The final world ruler gathers into his kingdom all the power of the ancient rulers and their territory and eventually becomes ruler over the entire globe, something that has never been accomplished before. 
 
“And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Revelation 13:3-8).
 
Here is how Daniel describes the actions of the beastly Antichrist: “He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, Shall persecute the saints of the Most High, And shall intend to change times and law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand for a time and times and half a time” (Daniel 7:25).
 
The “saints” mentioned here are the chosen people of God, the Jewish people. Time, and times, and half a time is referring to three and a half years, the last three-and-a-half years of Daniel’s 70th seven (Daniel 9:24-27), otherwise known as Jacob’s trouble or the Great Tribulation. The Bible refers to the last three and a half years of the Tribulation in three different ways. I mentioned the first description, “time, times, and half a time” in Daniel 7:25. It is also found in Daniel 12:7 and Revelation 12:14. The second description is “forty-two months” and is found in Revelation 11:2 and Revelation 13:5. The third way of referring to 3.5 years is “one thousand two hundred and sixty days” and is found in Revelation 11:3 and Revelation 12:6.
 
Of all these descriptions, only Revelation 11:3 is (presumably) referring to the first half of the seven-year Tribulation. If it wasn’t for this verse in the New Testament and Daniel 9:27 (referring to one week/seven years) in the Old Testament, you would think the Tribulation’s duration was for only 3.5 years instead of 7 years. I believe these three-and-a-half years, or 1260 days, are not calculated from some sort of “prophetic calendar” (360 days per year) but are in reference to the Jewish calendar where there are 1260 days from Nisan 10 (the prophetic day Jesus rode into Jerusalem as the Jews king) to Tishri 1, the Feast of Trumpets when Jesus will return to the earth as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
 
Many students of Bible prophecy have asked the question, “is the United States in Bible prophecy?” Although the U.S. is not mentioned by name and is not destined to play a major role in eschatological events, I believe our country can be found in some of the scripture we have discussed. However, it will not be in its current form as a sovereign nation called the United States of America but will be in its new form as a supranational union/region called the USMCA Union or something similar. The USMCA Union will be one of the Ten Kings, mentioned in Daniel 2 (one of the toes of iron and clay), Daniel 7, and Revelation 17, that will rule the world until they abdicate their power and authority to the Antichrist at the mid-point of the seven-year Tribulation.
 
The Antichrist’s absolute monarchy in which he will rule the earth will only last for 3.5 years, the same duration as Jesus’ ministry. “And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Revelation 13:5-8).
 
The Antichrist will be aided in his campaign of world domination by another beast “coming up out of the earth” (possibly of Jewish lineage). He is described as having two horns like a lamb and speaking like a dragon (Rev. 13:11). He is the main priest of a religious cult that is called Mystery Babylon (Revelation 17). His two horns could represent a form of Chrislam, a merging of apostate Christianity and Islam. After the 10 horns destroy this apostate church (and the city it resides in - Rome), the second beast known as the false prophet will cause the peoples of the earth to worship the Antichrist as a god. He will set up an image of the beast in the newly built third temple in Jerusalem and demand that everyone worship it.
 
“He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666” (Rev. 13:15-18).
 
Daniel the prophet speaks of this abomination of desolation in his prophecy of the 70 sevens. “Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate” (Daniel 9:27).
 
After this horrific event for Israel, the true nature of this “great man” comes out and he is exposed for what he truly is, “the man of sin.” Jesus spoke of this tragedy during his Olivet discourse. “Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place, then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake, those days will be shortened” (Matthew 24:15-22).
 
In the Bible, the number 12 represents governmental perfection, especially in relation to the 12 tribes of Israel. It’s interesting that both Daniel 12 and Revelation 12 speak of Israel during the end times known as Jacob’s Trouble or the Great Tribulation, the last 3.5 years of Daniel’s 70th seven. Let’s compare chapter 12 in these two books.
 
“At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, Every one who is found written in the book. And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever. But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase” (Daniel 12: 1-4).
 
“Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth. And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne. Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days” (Revelation 12:1-6).
 
“Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ” (Revelation 12:13-17).
 
Of course, we know what this imagery represents. The woman is Israel and her child (who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron) is Jesus Christ. The dragon represents Satan. The rest of the woman’s offspring are the Jews. The 1260 days begin after the mid-point of the Tribulation (Abomination of Desolation), when the Jews flee to Petra in Bozrah (Southern Jordan), and end when Jesus returns to the earth.
 
Unlike Daniel’s prophecy where the angel tells Daniel to shut up the words and seal the book until the time of the end, John is told by an angel “do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.” Of course, we as Christians, know how all of this will end, for the two witnesses tell us. Spoiler alert: It’s not how the global elites imagine. It’s their worse nightmare come true (besides their eternal abode in the lake of fire). They finally realize that the Christians were right after all and Jesus is truly the Son of God and judge of the entire earth.
 
Daniel 2 tells us: “A stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found. And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth” (Daniel 2:34-35). Jesus is the stone cut without hands. The image of the beast is the Gentile nations that coalesce into a one-world government. This government and kingdom will be completely destroyed and Jesus and His saints’ kingdom will then rule the world.
 
“But the court shall be seated, And they shall take away his dominion, To consume And destroy it forever. Then the kingdom and dominion, And the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, Shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And all dominions shall serve and obey Him” (Daniel 7:26-27). The Antichrist will only have a very short reign, whereas Jesus and His saints will have an everlasting kingdom.
 
“Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. Then the beast was captured and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh” (Revelation 19:11, 19-21).
 
After Jesus destroys His earthly and demonic enemies, He will then set up His kingdom which will last for a thousand years. The true Great Reset and New World Order (with a one-world theocratic government) will begin at this time. Satan is bound with a great chain and cast into the bottomless pit for a thousand years and will then be released for a short time. He will deceive many peoples throughout the Gentile nations to gather them to battle against the Jews and Jerusalem. God will instantly send fire down from heaven and destroy them all. Satan will be thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. “And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever” (Revelation 20:10).
 
Then God will judge the unbelieving dead from all ages. This is known as the Great White Throne Judgment. They will all be found guilty of their sins and cast into the lake of fire. “Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire” (Revelation 20:14-15).
 
“Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. For He has put all things under His feet. But when He says ‘all things are put under Him,’ it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted. Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all” (1 Corinthians 15:24-28).         
 
After Satan and death are conquered by Jesus the Son, the millennium kingdom will have come to an end. All things will now have been placed in total subjection to the Messiah. As the scripture says “You have put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that He put all in subjection under him, He left nothing that is not put under him (Hebrews 2:8). The totality of subjection will now be subjugated to God the Father in order that God may be all in all.
 
“Here we see the final triumph of Christ over all evil, over all power, and the Son giving up to the Father the kingdom of this world, which in His humanity He conquered for the Father as well as for Himself. Christ laying the spoils of a conquered world at the foot of the throne of the Father, shows, by that supreme act of self-sacrifice, that in His office as Redeemer He came, not to do His own will, but the will of the Father. In this sense the Son Himself, as Redeemer, is "put under Him"--God is all in all.
 
The direct government by God of all creatures is to be at last attained. All the interventions of authority and power which the fall of man rendered necessary will be needless when the complete triumph of Christ comes in. Thus Humanity, having for ages shared the condition of fallen Adam, will be finally restored to the state of unfallen Adam. Man will see God, and be ruled by God face to face.” {1}
 
The eternal Kingdom of God now begins with a new heaven and earth, for the first heaven and earth have passed away. John, in his vision, caught a glimpse of the new heaven and earth. There was no more sea (oceans) on the new earth. He also saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. “And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away” (Revelation 21:3-4).
 
Then He who sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said to me, Write, for these words are true and faithful. And He said to me, it is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son” (Revelation 21:5-6). These are the words of Yahweh Jesus Christ, the Alpha and the Omega of God’s Word, God Himself! As Jesus is the son of God, so shall we be Jesus’ sons. “We are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together” (Hebrews 8: 16-17).
 
“And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever” (Revelation 22:1-5).
 
“He who testifies to these things says, Surely I am coming quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen” (Revelation 22:20-21).

Is The U.S. Military Shooting “Alien Aircraft” Out Of The Sky? - by Michael Snyder - http://endoftheamericandream.com/is-the-u-s-military-shooting-alien-aircraft-out-of-the-sky/
 
The Internet is full of speculation that at least some of the “unidentified objects” that the U.S. military has been shooting out of the sky may be “alien aircraft”. Could this be possible? The head of NORAD says that he is not ruling anything out at this point. What we do know is that the balloon that initially created this wave of hysteria did belong to China. The Chinese claim that it was a civilian air balloon that went off course, while U.S. authorities are telling us that it was likely a spy balloon. But once the Chinese balloon was shot down, NORAD made “adjustments” to their radar systems, and all of a sudden they noticed a number of other unexplained objects floating around. In recent days, three of these “unidentified objects” have been shot down, and right now we do not know what they were.
 
The first “unidentified object” we shot down was floating over Alaska. According to ABC News, the object was “cylindrical and silver-ish gray”…
 
ABC News Chief Global Affairs Correspondent Martha Raddatz first reported that when fighters were scrambled, the pilots did visuals, got images and said there was no sign the object had propulsion.
 
It was described as “cylindrical and silver-ish gray” and seemed to be floating, a U.S. official said.
 
That caught my attention right away, because there have been many reports of “cylindrical” UFOs over the years.
 
In addition, it is being reported that the object “was actually interfering with the sensors” of the aircraft that were sent to shoot it down…
 
“When the US first detected this object over Alaska on Thursday, they sent up F-35 jets to … see what was going on,” she explained. “And these pilots reported back very conflicting accounts”.
 
The pilots of the cutting-edge stealth fighters said “that this object was actually interfering with the sensors of their aircraft and they couldn’t figure out why, because there was no identifiable kind of surveillance equipment on the object,” she said.
 
This is a huge red flag.
 
In addition, we are being told that the object appeared to be floating without “any sort of propulsion”…
 
According to Bertrand, the pilots “were saying that they did not see anything on the object that appeared able to propel it, that it seemed like there was no way that this was actually able to stay in the air”.
 
It’s possible that in the head of the high-speed, high-altitude encounter the pilots may have misinterpreted the type of aircraft, which was described as being “about the size of a small car”.
 
A Pentagon official told ABC News that the object was “cylindrical and silver-ish gray” and gave the “balloon-like” appearance of floating without “any sort of propulsion”.
 
Either the Russians or the Chinese have some sort of technology that we currently do not understand, or this object came from an unknown source.
 
Needless to say, either option is quite chilling.
 
The second “unidentified object” we shot down was floating over northern Canada.
 
In this case, the “unidentified object” was also “cylindrical in nature”…
 
A U.S. fighter plane shot down a second unidentified high-altitude object on Saturday in Canadian airspace over Yukon. According to NORAD, the object was first spotted late Friday night and briefly entered U.S. airspace, at which point two U.S. F-22s were sent to monitor it. It moved into Canadian airspace on Saturday, and President Biden and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau authorized shooting it down.
 
In a Saturday evening news conference, Canadian defense minister Anita Anand said it was flying at an altitude of 40,000 feet and “posed a reasonable threat to the safety of civilian flight.” She also described it as “potentially similar to the one shot down off the coast of North Carolina though smaller in size and cylindrical in nature.”
 
It is probably likely that the cylindrical object over Alaska and the cylindrical object over northern Canada both originated from the same source.
 
We just need to figure out who sent them.
 
The third “unidentified object” we shot down was floating over the Great Lakes.
 
But this time, the object had an “octagonal structure”…
 
“I’ve been in contact with DOD regarding operations across the Great Lakes region today,” Rep. Jack Bergman (R-Mich.) wrote on Twitter at around 3:30 p.m. Washington time. “The US military has decommissioned another ‘object’ over Lake Huron. I appreciate the decisive action by our fighter pilots.”
 
Bergman told Fox News on Feb. 12 that the object had an “octagonal structure” and was shot down by an F-16 jet at 20,000 feet. He cited Pentagon officials for the information.
 
“They informed me that an F-16 using an AIM-9 missile had shot down an octagonal structure over Lake Huron. The altitude was about 20,000 feet,” Bergman said in a phone interview aired by Fox News.
 
And once again, in this case it is being reported that the object did not appear to have any visible propulsion system…
 
The object President Biden ordered shot down over Lake Huron on Sunday was described as “octagonal” in shape with strings hanging off, flying at roughly 20,000 feet. U.S. military officials had stated that the craft have no discernable propulsion systems.
 
Could it be possible that all of these objects will turn out to be Chinese spy balloons?
 
Sure.
 
But right now the head of NORAD is saying that he is not ruling out the possibility that at least some of them could have been alien aircraft…
 
General Glen VanHerck, who leads NORAD and the U.S. Northern Command, said he would leave the possibility of aliens up to the intelligence community. U.S. fighter jets have shot down three unidentified “objects” in as many days this week, but the military has yet to confirm what they are.
 
“I’ll let the intel community and the counterintelligence community figure that out. I haven’t ruled out anything,” VanHerck told reporters Sunday when asked about the possibility of the objects being extra-terrestrial.
 
“At this point we continue to assess every threat or potential threat, unknown, that approaches North America with an attempt to identify it,” he added.
 
Did he really just say that?
 
Yes, he did.
 
But when the Biden administration was asked about the possibility of alien aircraft, they gave a much more politically-correct answer…
 
Speaking from the White House podium, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said she wanted people to hear straight from President Joe Biden’s administration that alien involvement with these incidents is not a working theory.
 
“I know there have been questions and concerns about this, but there is no ― again, no ― indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity with these recent takedowns,” she said, referring to authorities shooting down four high-altitude objects, including a suspected Chinese spy balloon, over North American airspace this month.
 
Of course the truth is that the Biden administration cannot tell us what these “unidentified objects” were, and so far our military has not recovered wreckage from any of the three that were just shot down…
 
The Pentagon is yet to recover debris from the three UFOs shot down this weekend over Alaska, Canada and Michigan and is yet to offer any kind of explanation as to what they are, how they were able to fly, or whether they pose a genuine threat to America.
 
Hopefully, the wreckage will show that the objects belonged to the Russians or the Chinese.
 
Because if the objects did not come from them, we may have been shooting at aircraft that belong to some very dark forces.
 
As I discussed in a previous article, hordes of unidentified aircraft have been violating U.S. airspace for years, and U.S. Senator Marco Rubio just made the exact same point in one of his most recent tweets…
 
Republican Rubio tweeted: ‘The last 72 hours revealed to the public what was happening for years, unidentified aircraft routinely operating over restricted US airspace.
 
‘This is why I pushed to take this seriously and created a permanent UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena – equivalent to UFOs) task force two years ago.’
 
He is right.
 
But up until now, the general public had not been fired up about such things.
 
In one of the forty-three chapters in my latest book, I take a look at what our leaders have been publicly admitting about these unidentified aircraft.
 
There is much more going on than most people realize.
 
The Russians and the Chinese are definitely significant threats, but there are also other threats that are looming out there that are even more sinister.

Mr. Biden, Balunacy, and Minnesota Madness – Terry James - https://terryjamesprophecyline.com/2023/02/13/mr-biden-balunacy-and-minnesota-madness/
 
Can there be any doubt? In every direction we look, Romans 1:28 projects from our TV screens and computer monitors. The proof of reprobate, aberrant thinking reddens the horizon with warnings of dangerous times ahead.
 
Anti-God forces have put the planet’s populations in a position that, like in the time of the antediluvian world of rebels, God’s wrath and judgment must again fall. This article will, I hope, point to several examples that typify the reprobate mindset and show how far into upside-down thinking those, particularly within leadership positions, have descended.
 
Being several months older than the current US president, it gives me no pleasure to point out what everyone knows but few amongst the media and elective government will verbalize. Joe Biden is in obvious cognitive decline. His leadership as a US senator and ice president has been the topic of concern for many years, but lately the mental decline is manifest anytime he is off the prompter. He answers practically no questions from the press assigned specifically to solicit answers that inform the American public.
 
A mainstream news media with a collective ideology that views America’s founding as being wickedly flawed–even evil from inception—covers up the president’s refusal and/or inability to cogently frame thoughts that American presidents have always been demanded to verbalize. I offer as evidence, for those old enough to remember, the way the wolves of the mainstream media tore at Vice President Dan Quayle for simply misspelling “potato.” This president makes gaffe after gaffe constantly without a word from the sycophantic press. They consistently prevaricate in their “reporting” in order to make the anti-America-as-founded charges, apparently wanting to move this nation as far ideologically left as most of Europe now is—or even farther left politically.
 
The most recent cover-up situation by what used to be referred to as “the fourth estate” involves Biden’s apparent business partner, China. The balloon sent from that Far-Eastern enemy of the United States floated across the Pacific Ocean, the largest body of water on the planet, then traversed the entire nation at 60,000 feet before finally being shot down in US waters less than 12 miles off our East Coast.
 
The balloon was technologically directed by China, according to some in the know. It did not just drift accidentally into American air space. The Biden administration allowed the invasion of territory some 60,000 feet above the nation. The excuse so far offered for not shooting it down is a fear that the heavy parts would crash to earth, endangering the American people.
 
The balloon first attracted public controversy Wednesday as it hovered near multiple military sites in Montana. China has insisted that the balloon was a civilian airship that went off course.
 
A report on Bloomberg said that U.S. officials were aware of the balloon back on Jan. 28, when it first entered American airspace over the Aleutian Islands. The balloon then drifted into Canada before returning over Idaho on Tuesday…
 
Despite downing the balloon on Saturday, the Biden administration took withering criticism from E. Casey Wardynski, a former assistant secretary of the Army for Manpower and Reserve Affairs in the Trump administration, according to Fox News…
 
Wardynski said the lack of action that took place as the balloon drifted across America amounted to” an excuse to do nothing, which is the kind of government we’ve got—a do-nothing government.”
 
He noted that the balloon was treated differently than almost any other aircraft.
 
“It’s our airspace. They [China] would’ve shot this thing down long ago if it was an American aircraft,” he said.
 
The Biden administration’s blustering “feeds into the overall picture of the Defense Department, which is that it’s a crowd that can’t shoot straight,” he said. (“Breaking Update: Chinese Spy Balloon Shot Down,” Jack Davis, Patriot Update, February 4, 2023)
 
More troubling than not being able to “shoot straight” is the fact that the administration no longer seems able to “think straight.” It seems the “reprobate mind” infects Washington, DC.
 
And it infects governments of lesser status as well. Minnesota state government manifests the Romans 1:28 malady, too, it is more than obvious:
 
Democrats [who hold a 34–33 majority in the state senate and a 70–64 advantage in the state house] in Minnesota banned coal, oil and gas after passing historic legislation in the state House of Representatives on Thursday…
 
And the legislation will cause electricity prices to skyrocket.
 
This comes at the same time that Joe Biden banned mining in the Iron Range, a Democrat-dominant working-class area in north-eastern Minnesota.
 
The new energy infrastructure in Minnesota will ban mining here at home as Biden struck a deal with African nations who use child labor and China where they use slave labor.
 
All in the name of climate change – the new religion of the left…
 
This is an unrealistic timeline that could endanger the lives of Minnesotans if it fails while causing their electricity bills to skyrocket, Republicans argued throughout the night.
 
They unsuccessfully offered several amendments to the bill, including lifting the state’s moratorium on new nuclear power plants, allowing for the use of carbon sequestration technologies, and delaying the standard to consider its impact on child and slave labor in the green energy supply chain.
 
“Frankly, what this bill will be doing today is making Minnesota reliant on nations around the globe that have no labor standards and no environmental standards. Minnesota in this bill will build a clean grid economy on the backs of child slaves in China and poor environmental regulations in Indonesia and the Congo,” Rep. Spencer Igo, R-Wabana Township, said at a press conference ahead of the debate.
 
He said the resources to build a clean energy future are right in Minnesota’s backyard, yet the federal government has now banned mining on 250,000 acres of the Iron Range.
 
“The third-largest deposits of copper, nickel and cobalt that exist in the known world are only 250 miles north of this Capitol. Instead of investing in those resources … we have decided to export it around the world where carbon emissions will be 20, 25, or 30 times higher than if we were to do it here in Minnesota,” he continued. (“Suicide Pact: Minnesota Democrats Pass Bill to Ban Coal, Oil and Gas in One of Nation’s Coldest States – As Biden Bans Mining in State’s Iron Range,” Jim Hoft, Gateway Pundit, February 3, 2023)
 
Minnesota, one of the very coldest states of the Union, has as its elected leadership a majority that insists on doing away with affordable ways to keep warm. Reprobate minds, to be sure…
 
I tend to agree with the assessment that says blame for this and most other craziness shouldn’t be placed on this cognitively dysfunctional president. These things are being perpetrated and/or allowed—certainly directed—by the globalists. Mr. Biden is but a useful tool in the hands of those such as Klaus Schwab, George Soros, and others, it seems to me.
 
This upside-down non-reasoning all means that Christ’s Rapture call to believers in this anti-God age so near the Tribulation can’t be far distant. Christ’s promised return to end the madness is a bright beam of hope piercing the darkening horizon.
 
He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. (Revelation 22:20)

 


 
Revelation 8: Silence in Heaven? - By Mark Creech - https://www.christianpost.com/voices/revelation-8-silence-in-heaven.html
 
Revelation chapters 6-19 describe the Tribulation period during the End Times. After the Church is taken out of the world in what might be called the first phase of Christ’s return, the Rapture, the time of God’s wrath, emerges in three waves of seven: seven seals, seven trumpets and seven bowls.
 
There are many titles in Scripture for this period, such as the “Day of the Lord” (Obadiah 15; Joel 1:15; 2:1, 11, 31; 3:14; Amos 5:18, 20; Isaiah 2:12; 13:6, 9; Zephaniah 1:7, 14; Ezekiel 13:5; 30:3; Zechariah 14:1), the “Great and Terrible Day of the Lord,” (Malachi 4:5), the “Day of Wrath” (Zephaniah 1:15), the “Day of Jacob’s Trouble,” (Jeremiah 30:7), “The Day” (I Thessalonians 5:4), “Those Days” (Matthew 24:22; Mark 13:20), “The Tribulation,” (Matthew 24:29; Mark 13:24), “The Great Tribulation,” (Matthew 24:21; Revelation 2:22; 7:14).
 
Starting in Revelation 6-7, and the start of chapter 8, the Lamb of God, Christ, opens the seven seals of the scroll given to him, which is the title deed to the earth. These seven seals and their judgments represent the first half of seven years of what the book of Daniel calls the 70th week (Daniel 9:25-27). It is the darkest moment in human history — a time of spiritual apostasy and the rise of a mighty world figure who deceives the masses — a time of war — a time of famine — a time of death — a time of Christian martyrdom — a time of terror when the universe itself is shaken.
 
In Revelation 8, Christ breaks the seventh seal, and this is what happens:
 
“When the Lamb broke the seventh seal on the scroll, there was silence throughout heaven for about half an hour. I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and they were given seven trumpets” (Revelation 8: 1-2).
 
Silence in Heaven for about a half hour? What is this momentary pause that creates a solemn interval where everyone and everything within the heavenly realm is hushed?
 
Several speculations have been advanced. Some speculate it’s like the calm before the storm. Others contend it’s like that moment of great solemnity when everyone waits silently with bated breath for the Judge to reveal his verdict. Still, others argue it’s a deafening silence generated by the shock of what God is about to do to the prideful rebels who repudiated his grace and mercies. It’s a half-hour of tense expectation, they say.
 
A Frankfurt prayer from the 16th century says:
 
“Lord, the Bible says: ‘There is a time for silence and a time for speech.’ Savior, teach me the silence of humility, the silence of wisdom, the silence of love, the silence of perfection, the silence that speaks without words, the silence of faith.
 
“Lord, teach me to silence my own heart so I may listen to the gentle movement of the Holy Spirit within me and sense the depths of God.”
 
Surely all these virtues are rolled into that half hour of silence in Heaven. But a better interpretation of the text connects this silence with the following verses:
 
Then another angel with a gold incense burner came and stood at the altar. And a great amount of incense was given to him to mix with the prayers of God’s people as an offering on the gold altar before the throne. The smoke of the incense, mixed with the prayers of God’s holy people, ascended up to God from the altar where the angel had poured them out. Then the angel filled the incense burner with fire from the altar and threw it down upon the earth; and thunder crashed, lightning flashed, and there was a terrible earthquake (Revelation 8:3-5).
 
In The Revelation of Jesus Christ, John Metcalfe offers the best explanation for the silence. He writes:
 
“Silence pertains to the ear. It is what is required if something is to be heard by those who listen. They are not making the noise. They are not making a sound. The noise comes from elsewhere. And all Heaven is still during this sufficient interval to catch the sound. What sound?
 
“Since the following verses show that the prayers of all saints are ascending into the silence of Heaven, for long enough an interval for Heaven to catch all that is breathed; to every sigh; and to listen to each one of the groanings; indeed, to detect even the near silent drop of every tear; the whisper of every lip: then the reason for the silence is confirmed.
 
“That is why there is silence in Heaven, because by this, in a figure, God is assuring his elect that all Heaven — in a moment, in one brief, but very distinct interval — inclines to hear the very words and sighs breathed from the saints below…
 
“Revelation 5:8 manifests the things in Heaven and speak of the golden vials full of odors ‘which are the prayers of the saints.’ The opening of the fifth seal revealed the souls of them, which are under the altar, slain for the Word of God and for the testimony which they held. This was their prayer: ‘How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?’ (Rev. 6:10).
 
“With this prayer. Revelation 8:3 agrees. If these are the prayers of the suffering saints on earth, and if the prayers of all saints are preceded by the symbol of silence in heaven and followed by the figure of prayer ascending up as incense, the cause of silence in heaven is no longer a matter of conjecture.
 
“Here is metaphorical language. Truth is conveyed by figures: by pictorial imagery. Silence, therefore, answers to the quiet command in heaven to give ear to the prayers of all saints. It is all saints to whom the God of Heaven is listening. In connection with those prayers, the seal had been broken, and the seven angels with the seven trumpets appear.”
 
What a word from God! What comfort for all who suffer for their faith in Christ! What hope that their pleas, holy complaints, and anguish are always heard and answered. These prayers are of the utmost importance to God. They take priority. Just as the four angels were instructed to hold back the winds of God’s judgment upon the earth until the Lord’s 144,000 Jewish evangelists were sealed, God’s dreadful judgments in the seven angels who will blow their trumpets are delayed until the prayers of God’s Tribulation saints are gathered in a golden incense burner as a sacrificial offering on the altar. This golden censer filled with the prayers of God’s servants is mixed with incense, poured out on the altar, and ascends to God’s throne. This golden censer is then taken and filled with fire from the altar and thrown down on the earth. Consequently, there comes a loud rumble of thunder and lightning flashes and a terrible earthquake. In so many words, these prayers have set in motion the coming judgments in the second half of the Tribulation.
 
The late T.F. Torrance, a Scottish theologian and professor of Christian dogmatics at New College in the University of Edinburgh, wrote:
 
“What are the real master powers behind the world, and what are the deeper secrets of our destiny? Here is the astonishing answer: the prayer of the saints and the fire of God. That means that more potent, more powerful than all the dark and mighty powers let loose in the world, more powerful than anything else, is the power of prayer set ablaze by the fire of God and cast upon the earth.”
 
No doubt, many of these prayers offered were imprecatory. Imprecatory prayers ask God to bring judgment to those who despise his ways and his people. These are not petitions for personal vengeance.
 
The Psalmist David prayed imprecatory prayers. He prayed, “O God, declare them guilty. Let them be caught in their own traps. Drive them away because of their many sins, for they have rebelled against you (Psalm 5:10). He also asked God, “Don’t let them get away with their wickedness; in your anger, O God, bring them down” (Psalm 56:7). David even prayed prayers asking God to deal in judgment with those who had treated him unjustly when he had done what was godly.
 
Some would say these prayers are beneath the Christian today and no longer proper for a New Testament believer. Nevertheless, making ethical distinctions between Old and New Testament believers is flawed.
 
David Chilton, in his book, Days of Vengeance, admonishes:
 
“If our churches were more acquainted with the foundational hymnbook of the Church, the Psalms, instead of the sugary, syrupy, sweetness-and-light choruses that characterize modern evangelical hymnals, we would understand this much easier. But we have fallen under a pagan delusion that it is somehow ‘unchristian’ to pray for God’s wrath to be poured out upon the enemies and persecutors of the Church. Yet that is what we see God’s people doing, with God’s approval, in both Testaments of the Holy Scriptures…Much of the impotence of the churches today is directly attributable to the fact that they have become emasculated and effeminate.”
 
Certainly, we should lovingly and earnestly pray for the repentance of the unsaved and the enemies of God’s people. Nevertheless, it is not improper to also earnestly pray that if particular individuals or groups callously persist in their sinful ways, if they are hell-bent on spreading their evil to the harm of many others, shamelessly rejecting and ridiculing righteousness — it is righteous to call for God’s judgment on them. It is right to call on God to stop them in their tracks. Out of love and passion for God’s holy purposes, it is appropriate to petition heaven to deal with people who are hardened and arrogant against God — people who persist in defying his objectives in the world. Of course, no one should engage in imprecatory praying before also pouring out one’s heart for the salvation of the wayward.
 
In the end, the prayers of God’s people under severe duress are of the utmost importance to him. All of Heaven bends the ear in silence to hear them. God will respond aggressively to take vengeance on all who despise him and his saints.

 


 
Daily Jot: Balloonathon - Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com
 
The Biden Administration, under the leader of the Commander in Chief, allowed a known Communist Chinese spy balloon to track its way across the United States for several days without taking action. Biden himself ordered the balloon shot down on February 1, but a defense official overruled him because of “safety concerns.” Then Biden’s boys thought they could throw up a smokescreen and say the same thing happened under Trump several times. Just as the news media was buying that story, the American people got a little outraged and the poll numbers started showing that people were upset that their national security was at risk. But what happens next is bizarre.
 
Now it seems that anything that flies and Biden can’t identify, they are shooting it down. The US military has shot down four such “unidentified flying objects” in the last week or so. A military jet on Sunday shot down an unidentified object flying over Lake Huron. Nobody knows what it was, or if they do, they aren’t saying. They say it was “octagonal” with strings hanging off of it. Over the northern coast of Alaska another flying something-or-other the size of a car was shot down. Biden said the operation was a “success.” On Saturday, another object was shot down over Canada that was about the size of three school buses. A balloon, a car, three school busses and something else all in about a week.
 
These leaders in control of the military are not saying what these objects are. And one, General Glen Van Herck, head of NORAD and U. Northern Command, said he wouldn’t rule out something extraterrestrial. How about ruling in something? How about this military, under these particular deep state and socialist leaders, is not up to the task of defending this country and protecting its national security? How about admitting that Communist China or some other similar actor is probing our military while collecting data? How about knowing that the communist military doctrine would probe until it is stopped? And how about understanding that the patterns that Biden establishes in responding to these probes, as well as the information they collect until there is a response, is being used to form strategic dangers to Americans?
 
It just seems that all of a sudden, Biden believes that he needs to show the American people he is watching out for the skies, so anything that moves is fair game. The problem here is that bad things have been going on for a long time—things that put us and our children at risk. We may not know what they are, but these new revelations are signs that something is amiss. May we have a Luke 8:17 moment: “For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light.” And may we be able to identify truth and have the wisdom to respond accordingly to defend ourselves and to save our posterity. These are indeed perilous times and our leaders are not equipped to, or don’t want to, protect and defend this nation. Let’s demand they do, and that they do so wisely.

 


 
Daily Devotion: Let the Light Shine Through - by Greg Laurie – www.harvest.org
 
In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father. —Matthew 5:16
 
https://harvest.org/resources/devotion/let-the-light-shine-through/ - Listen
 
A Sunday school teacher said to her class of young students, “Can any of you tell me what a saint is?” One of the girls in the class thought about some stained glass windows of the apostles that she saw. So she said, “Those are people that the light shines through.”
 
That is true. We might be tempted to put people like Peter, James, John, Matthew, and Paul on pedestals. When we read about them in the Bible, they seem like superhuman individuals. But they were ordinary people like us. They made mistakes, and the Bible is honest about the mistakes they made.
 
But they also were saints. And if you are a Christian, then you’re a saint too. Saint is simply another word for a follower of Jesus Christ.
 
The greatness of the disciples wasn’t because of who they were. It was because God’s hand was on them. The apostle Paul wrote, “Remember, dear brothers and sisters, that few of you were wise in the world’s eyes or powerful or wealthy when God called you. Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful” (1 Corinthians 1:26–27 NLT).
 
These weren’t perfect people; they were ordinary people. But God did extraordinary things through ordinary people. God seems to go out of His way to choose unexpected people to go to unexpected places to do unexpected things.
 
Jesus did not call the apostles because they were great; they were great because Jesus called them. It is not the instrument but the One who holds the instrument. Before we can change the world, Jesus must first change us. Then God can take us, despite our flaws and shortcomings, and use us for His glory.

FROM THE HEART
    
Let Us Make the Short Time We have Left,
Count for ALL of Eternity!

IF YOU HAVE BEEN BLESSED THROUGH THIS MINISTRY, THEN WE ASK THAT YOU WOULD PLEASE REMEMBER PROPHECY UPDATE IN YOUR GIVING - WE ARE TRULY, TRULY, THANKFUL FOR YOUR SUPPORT  
 
WORTHY OF YOUR SUPPORT?
 
One of the most reliable ways to determine if a ministry is worthy of your financial support is to examine its fruits. If Prophecy Update is keeping you informed, and if that information inspires you, and causes you to draw closer to the Lord, if Prophecy Update equips you with valuable information and knowledge to share with and encourage other believers, and open the eyes of non-believers, and if Prophecy Update keeps you connected to current events relating to Bible Prophecy, then you are partaking of the fruit produced through this ministry. None of this would be possible without the Lords blessings and your support. I believe where the Lord guides, the Lord provides, and most of the time He provides through the willing and generous hearts of believers just like you and me.
 
Humbly Seek Your Support
 
Prophecy Update has no corporate sponsors. This ministry is paid for and prayed for by readers and supporters. Without your support, there would be no Prophecy Update, Please pray about becoming a monthly supporter - thanks!

"Share in the Blessings and Rewards that will last Forever!"
 
"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

Our Prayer for You- "Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God's people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else." 2 Corinthians 9:10-13
