PROPHECY UPDATE..................9/19/2022

 

Preparing for the Man with a Plan - By Daymond Duck - https://www.raptureready.com/2022/09/17/preparing-for-the-man-with-a-plan-by-daymond-duck/   Russia recently announced a stoppage of the flow of gas to the EU through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline and that the flow will not be restarted until the EU cancels its economic sanctions on Russia.   Some EU citizens are starting to suffer, and they know their suffering is going to get much worse when winter arrives.   It is not surprising:   That the value of the Euro is at a 20-year low. That the high cost of utilities and food have triggered a cost-of-living problem, and many EU citizens are moving toward poverty (owning nothing but not happy). That more than 70,000 Czechoslovakian citizens recently marched on their capital (Prague) to protest the situation and to call for an end to the sanctions on Russia. That all the EU nations are anticipating more protests in the coming months. That this is happening and the rider on the black horse during the Tribulation Period is hyper-inflation, economic collapse, and famine (Rev. 6:5-6).   (More: On Sept. 7, 2022, EU Commission Pres. Ursula von der Leyen announced that the EU plans to impose mandatory electricity rationing and price caps on natural gas from Russia. Vladimir Putin called the plan “stupid” and said prices will go even higher.)   (More: On Sept. 8, 2022, it was reported that tens of thousands and perhaps hundreds of thousands of the sick and elderly will die; think population reduction.)   (More: On Sept. 8, 2022, it was reported that a failure of EU banks this winter will impact banks in the U.S. and the value of the dollar—major economic problems could be just months away.)   (More: On Sept. 8, 2022, it was reported that proposed legislation in Switzerland requires citizens in gas-heated buildings to keep their thermostat below 66.2 degrees F this winter. Intentional violators will be fined and could face up to three years in prison.)   (More: On Sept. 14, 2022, it was reported that the sale of appliances and other expensive items is in decline because poverty is spreading.)   Be aware that some reports say this is happening because the EU is following the World Economic Forum (WEF) agenda, and it will happen to every nation on earth (including the U.S.) because the WEF agenda is a global policy.   (My opinion: The problems in the EU and the WEF agenda guarantee that the mess this world is in will get much worse before the end of winter. The upcoming election could be critical for the survival of America.)   When asked about the signs of His coming (at the end of the Tribulation Period), Jesus replied that there will be distress of nations, with perplexity (Luke 21:25).   Many prophecy teachers have long expected global problems that will cause people to accept “the man with a plan” who will rise in the EU and be known as the Antichrist.   At the time of this writing:   The media has reported that Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II has passed away, and Charles is preparing to take the throne as the King of England. Charles has attended globalist Bilderberg meetings, has been an extreme climate change fanatic, co-hosted a WEF meeting, and is a friend of Klaus Schwab, but he now says he is going to change because the King is not supposed to be political (his change may be questionable, but time will tell). At the UN COP26 meeting, Charles called for trillions (trillions, not billions) of dollars to be available to someone (a male ruler; some think he was referring to “the man with a plan;” the Antichrist) to immediately change the global economy, go green, and bring about the WEF Great Reset.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMRjfKhCpSo&t=17s   Here are more events that seem to indicate that we are getting close.   One, concerning climate change and going green in the U.S.: on Sept. 8, 2022, it was reported that “Californians are being asked to cut back on cooling their homes and using large appliances to prevent rolling blackouts as the state buckles under the weight of its outdated infrastructure and increasing reliance on unreliable ‘clean energy’ sources.”   Governor Newsom advised citizens to:   Set their thermostats at 78 degrees. Turn off unnecessary lights. Avoid using large appliances.   According to the report, part of California’s power shortage problem is its shift to the WEF Great Reset plan.   The report quotes WEF founder Klaus Schwab as saying every “country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed.”   (FYI: On Sept. 1, 2022, it was reported that a power company took control of the smart thermostats in about 22,000 homes in Colorado, and the homeowners could not control the temperature in their own homes.)   Two, concerning deceit, Pres. Biden (the “big man” in the Biden criminal cartel) recently addressed the nation twice:   There are too many lies and too much deceit to comment on, but among other things, the “big man” said (words in parentheses are mine):   “MAGA (Make America Great Again) Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic.” “MAGA forces are determined to take this country backward — backward to an America where there is no right to choose (no right to an abortion), no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love (no right to same-sex marriage).” “MAGA Republicans look at America and see carnage and darkness and despair. They spread fear and lies. Lies told for profit and power.” MAGA Republicans “are destroying American democracy.”   Notice that Biden (who calls himself a good Catholic):   Opposes Making America Great Again. Champions abortion (against his Catholic faith) and same-sex marriage (against the Scriptures). Accuses MAGA Republicans of lying (even though he lied about uniting the U.S. during his campaign, has changed his position on abortion and same-sex marriage from against to for, is lying about Hunter, lying about inflation, lying about the U.S. border with Mexico being secure, etc.). Wants citizens to believe that MAGA Republicans are destroying American democracy at the same time that he is working to destroy American democracy by bringing in the New World Order.   “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!” (Isa. 5:20-23).   (Something to think about: During his presidency, Biden has spent more time and money trying to kill babies in their mother’s womb than he has spent trying to get baby formula for those babies fortunate enough to be born.)   Three, concerning Israel having silver and gold, cattle and goods in the latter years and latter days: Israel is expected to start pumping gas at its big Leviathan field in about two weeks.   Some prophecy teachers have long believed that Israel’s oil and natural gas could be the hook in Gog’s jaw that leads to the Battle of Gog and Magog.   Four, concerning the coming economic collapse: U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen recently warned that the Federal Reserve strategy to bring down inflation could launch the nation into a recession.   Five, concerning the economy and a coming global economic collapse during the Tribulation Period: on Sept. 13, 2022, it was reported that the U.S. inflation rate is up slightly to 8.3%.   This sent the Dow Jones Stock Market into a steep decline, and it lost 1276 points by the end of the day.   While this was going on, Biden was celebrating his $70 billion falsely named Inflation Reduction Act on the White House lawn.   Biden has now added $4.8 trillion to the national debt (which is now approaching $31 trillion) in less than two years, and he wants to keep spending.   Six, concerning persecution, censorship, and corruption of the DOJ and FBI: on Sept. 13, 2022, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was approached by FBI agents and asked questions about Dominion voting machines (possibly used for election fraud); they served him with a warrant and seized his cell phone.   (More: Just one day before the seizure of Lindell’s phone, the U.S. Dept. of Justice (DOJ) admitted that it recently served more than 40 subpoenas on associates of former Pres. Trump and seized the cell phones of at least two of Trump’s top advisors. The DOJ and FBI are supposed to treat everyone the same. They are seizing phones from Trump associates, but they helped Hillary Clinton destroy hers.)   Finally, are you Rapture Ready?   If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.   duck_daymond@yahoo.com

Another Harbinger to the Building of the Third Temple–Arrival of the Red Heifers – A.V. Rauf - https://bibleprophecyfortoday.com/2022/09/18/another-harbinger-to-the-building-of-the-third-temple-arrival-of-the-red-heifers/   As we are now entering the Fall season, 4 months removed from 2023 A.D., events continue to unfold at a rapid pace that are paving the way for the fulfillment of the Bible prophecy.   We are just over a week away from Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year and the rest of the Fall feasts (Yom Kippur, Sukkot & Simchat Torah) arrive in October.   Seven Years ago, on May 27, 2015, on a mountain ridge overlooking the Old City of Jerusalem and the ancient Temple Mount, Jewish Ancestral priests otherwise known as Kohanim, performed a dry run of the Temple Service for the Shavuot (Pentecost) holiday. All three of the major components of the holiday service – bringing of the first fruits, preparation of two loaves of bread using the season’s new wheat, and a special holiday offering – were conducted to as great a level of detail as is possible at this point in time. This ceremony was a joyous one, as the people gathered to celebrate God’s abundant provision of food.   I mentioned in a previous post that the Passover service was also re-enacted by the Jews and that red heifer had been found. More about that in a minute.   Here is the link: https://bibleprophecyfortoday.com/2015/04/14/does-the-building-of-the-third-temple-seem-to-be-drawing-closer/   As mentioned in the article above, the offering of the Omer is not the only service connected to the rebuilding of the Temple for which careful planning is underway for quite some time. There has also been an aggressive an search for the Biblically required Parah Adumah otherwise known as the Red Heifer. It is important to note that a Red Heifer must be found before a rebuilt Temple goes into active use.   The Red Heifer is of importance to the Temple rites in that its ashes are used to purify the Temple vessels, priestly garments, and even the priests and Temple themselves so that services may be performed.   However, in fulfillment of the Biblical prophecy of Jews returning to the God given land of Israel and the rebuilding of the Holy Jewish Temple, this re-enactment was one gigantic step forward to the completion when all the nations will gather at the rebuilt Temple in Jerusalem.   However, of paramount importance is the following fact: THE SHAVOUT HOLIDAY HAD NOT BEEN CELEBRATED IN THIS MANNER FOR NEARLY 2,000 YEARS!!!!!   Now about the Red Heifer. The Temple Institute, which is committed to the vision of seeing a third temple erected in Jerusalem, launched its RED HEIFER program approximately ten years go, under the supervision of Rabbi Azariah Ariel. Just this past week, 5 red heifers arrived in Israel at Ben Gurion International Airport.   The red heifer needed to meet strict, specific qualifications according to Jewish teachings. For example, there are to be no more than two non-red hairs on the entire calf. It must also never have been used for any labor or have been impregnated.   The heifer must be two years and one day old to be suitable for the ceremony. Sometimes, a calf that is perfectly red when it is young develops black or white hairs as it grows older or may develop a blemish. Sometimes, the colored hairs fall out or disappear. Certifying the calf requires a complete and intensive inspection in which a rabbi knowledgeable in the laws goes over the entire calf with a magnifying glass.   Furthermore, a calf cannot have any blemishes on its body including piercings.   Well, a Texan farmer who happens to be a devout Christian, began breeding cattle for this trait. One of the major difficulties was that the government required tagging calves right after birth. The ear tag creates a hole in the calve’s ear, a blemish that disqualifies the calf for the Mitzvah. The farmer explained that because of COVID, the employee who normally puts in the tags did not come to the farm when these five calves were born. (Something good came out of COVID perhaps!)   The cows were between 5-8 months old. To be suitable for the red heifer ceremony, the cow must be two years and one day old so these heifers will be raised in Israel until they reach the proper age. This would bring to Rosh Hashanah which falls on October 3 in 2024.   NOW PLAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING:   According to Chanan Kupietzky, an Orthodox Jewish resident of Efrat who is affiliated with the Temple Institute the following information was revealed:   Last year, was the year 5781 in the Hebrew Calendar“In Hebrew numerology, this is תשפא. That is an acronym for תהיה שנה פרה אדומה (it will be the year of the red heifer). The cows we are looking at now were conceived last year,” Kupietzy said.   “This year is תשפ,ב 5782, an acronym for תהיה שנה פרה בישראל (It will be a year for the heifer in Israel).   In two weeks, we will begin תשפג, 5783, the year in which the ceremony of the Red Heifer will be performed.   This is an acronym for תהיה שנה פרה גאולה (It will be a year of the Red Heifer of redemption).”   HOLY COW!!!!!! (No pun intended)   Luke 21:28-33—And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.   Micah 4:1-7—But in the LAST DAYS it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it. For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever. In that day, saith the Lord, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted; And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the Lord shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever.   Ezekiel 36:16-28—Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman. Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it: And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them. And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the Lord, and are gone forth out of his land. But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went. Therefore say unto the house of Israel, thus saith the Lord God; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name’s sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went. And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord God, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.   It is a surety that even today God is making it possible for Israel to re-establish the Old Testament Covenant, of which ceremonies like this are critical. Of course, Christians who know their Bible need to warn all Jews that this activity, including the rebuilding of the Temple, are preparations for the man of deceit, Antichrist.   Most Jews will not listen, but the seed needs to be planted in their minds that the first man on the world scene, claiming to be Jesus Christ, will be the false Christ who will turn to deceive them. He will be followed after 7 years by the real Jesus Christ, Who will come to Earth at the Mount of Olives.   Psalm 122:6–Pray for the PEACE of Jerusalem:they shall prosper that love thee.

This is Not a Drill - By Hal Lindsey - https://www.hallindsey.com/ww-9-18-2022/   Critics of end-time Bible prophecy often say exactly what the Bible said they would say. 2 Peter 3:3-4 (NASB) says, “In the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, and saying, ‘Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.’”   Wars and rumors of war? Nothing new there, they say. Famines? They were worse in the past. Plagues and pandemics? We had a bad one for a couple of years, but the world has had worse. Lawlessness? Humanity has always had its crooks and creeps. Deception? People started lying right after they started talking. So, what’s new? What’s different?   Those samples of end-time signs all come from the words of Jesus in Matthew 24. There are lots of others, but let’s look briefly at these and see what makes them different today.   Wars and rumors of war. — Before each of the first two World Wars, everyone saw the terrible possibilities. But almost no one really thought it would happen. They thought cooler heads would prevail. But cool heads did not prevail. Pride prevailed. Greed prevailed. Hate prevailed.   It’s happening again, but this time with the added threat of nuclear weapons. As before, no one believes it will really happen. But the signs are there. War threatens every part of the earth, especially Europe. In Ukraine, Russian arrogance has been shattered. Their president, Vladimir Putin, is as proud and as careless with human life as Hitler or Mussolini. And right now, he’s like a wounded animal… with nukes.   That is just one factor that has turned planet earth into a tinderbox. Another would be severe shortages, especially of oil. This is a classic and historic cause of war. And we’re on the verge of shortages not seen since the last World War.   Famine. — This summer, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that present food shortages could trigger a global “catastrophe.” The soaring cost of fertilizer, the war in Ukraine, drought, and many other issues, have placed earth on the brink of major famines — maybe sooner than you think and in places you never thought famine was possible.   Pandemics and plagues. — The Covid pandemic still rages, and others threaten. Technology has made our generation more vulnerability to disease, not less. Several biological threats lurk on the fringes of civilization right now — many of them manmade. Also, superbugs are still on the rise, and we have no known solution to the crises they threaten.   There are other kinds of plagues as well. For instance, computer viruses carry the threat of cutting off essential water, electricity, food, and health care to entire regions.   Lawlessness. — Still another kind of pandemic was recently pointed out by scientists at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine. They reported that 18% of Californians — one in six — experienced physical or sexual violence in the past year. That doesn’t include theft or vandalism or fraud or any number of other crimes. This number only reflects violent crime, and it’s getting worse. Principal investigator Anita Raj said, “Californians are experiencing violence at epidemic proportions.” California is just one example. The epidemic of lawlessness knows no regional or national boundaries. It is global in scope.   Deception. — Fake news is not new. But it has never before been possible on the scale we see today. A global media outlet is built into every new phone. This explosion of media means opportunities for mass deception like no one even dreamed of before this century.   These are just a few of the signs Jesus pointed out in Matthew 24. And that’s just one chapter of the Bible. What’s unique about today is that all the hundreds of biblical end-time signs are converging and intensifying. The 1918 flu killed a higher percentage of people than Covid-19, but the modern nation of Israel did not exist then. Geopolitical alliances predicted in the Bible were not forming at every turn. Satanism was not exploding in popularity and influence. The 1918 pandemic was not accompanied by a rise of technology perfectly fitted to Antichrist and the mark of the beast.   The signs are all coming together right now. Keep your eyes on Jesus. Take care of your business, but do not let the cares of this world distract you from Him. Look up. Maranatha! Jesus is coming soon!

Nearing Midnight: The Prophetic Significance of the Death of Queen Elizabeth II – Todd Strandberg - https://www.raptureready.com/category/nearing-midnight/   Several years ago, I noticed our society is being influenced by something that has a direct impact on Bible prophecy. It is a very long-term factor, but it will guide how prophecy unfolds. As one generation dies off, it is replaced by one that is further away from God’s will.   Of the people under the age of 30, nearly 70% have no religious affiliation, they largely support gay marriage, and the majority of them support people who wish to change their gender. They are so liberal in their politics that they would turn America into a one-party nation. Even now, many cities are so heavily controlled by the Democratic party, Republicans don’t even bother to field a candidate.   Queen Elizabeth was generally private about her political views. She saw her role as one who should be on the side that sought the greater good. If the prime minister was from Labor or the Tories, she would give them the same advice.   Many will say that the British monarchy is a bunch of rubbish that is just a huge waste of money. England votes for the people who set the real laws. The queen’s role in government is restricted and largely symbolic. This is a good thing because the British monarchy once had absolute power over the people.   During her 70 years in power, Queen Elizabeth gave up all of her colonial claims. I couldn’t find an example where she sought to expand her power. She wisely realized the British Empire could only be an alliance of equals that shared the benefits of being part of Great Britain. The people of Scotland recently voted on staying or leaving the union, and they decided that staying was the best option.   What Queen Elizabeth lacked in political power, she more than made up in being a great diplomat. She met with hundreds of political leaders and addressed all manners of problems. The general history of the world involves mankind either fighting or talking. Queen Elizabeth had amazing skill at bringing together political opponents. Brian Mulroney, Canadian prime minister between 1984 and 1993, said Elizabeth was a “behind the scenes force” in ending apartheid in South Africa.   Even though Queen Elizabeth was very popular with the public, the liberal media couldn’t help taking a stab at her because of their general hatred of all white people. The New York Times quoted Uju Anya, a Nigeria-born professor at Carnegie Mellon University, who posted a tweet in which she wished the queen “excruciating” pain on her deathbed for overseeing a “thieving raping genocidal empire.”   Buzzfeed gave a voice to Scaachi Koul, who said, “I don’t care that the Queen is dead. She had a good run, and I didn’t know her, so why should I waste the six tears I am allotted per year on a stranger? The only reason I’m here is that I delight in upsetting Europeans, a long-held tradition of nonwhite Canadians for at least a century and a half.”   “The monarchy is defunct, its members are institutionally powerless, and now the Queen is dead. The world is moving on past what the monarchy gave us or, rather, what the monarchy took. Diana’s gone, Meghan’s making podcasts in Palo Alto, and you want me to feel sad that the Queen died? Pass. Save your tears for something that matters.”   Both of these women are disgusting individuals. Most of their writings are laced with profanity, and they have a self-serving fixation on racism. A third-world prostitute would have a better claim of moral superiority than these two dingbats.   I hope the best for King Charles III, but I’m very doubtful that he will come anywhere close to matching his mother’s legacy. Charles has already made several errors that show he lacks good judgment. His failed marriage to Princess Diana is at the top of any list. Charles is a big-time environmentalist. He said that climate change skeptics are playing “a reckless game of roulette” with the planet’s future and are having a “corrosive effect” on public opinion. Charles said he would vow to be a “Defender of Faith” as king, but he came across as a universalist by “ensuring that other people’s faiths can also be practiced.”   A key reason why good people are dearly missed is that most people don’t do anything positive in the world. If you try to bring peace to the world, you have a right to complain about the lack of it.   “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God” (Matthew 5:9).

Daily Jot: California attacks free speech – Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com   California’s legislature has pass Assembly Bill 2098 to designate the dissemination of COVID-19 misinformation or disinformation as unprofessional conduct. This means that any doctor that offers alternative protocols to treat COVID-19 could lose their license to practice. It is an egregious affront to freedom of speech and, quite frankly, science. The legislation establishes that the Centers for Disease Control is the sole source of COVID-19 treatment protocols and any alternatives are considered disinformation or misinformation. California is often among the first to adopt extreme concepts that quickly spread across the nation. Beware of this one. It is government censorship of speech and science.   Section 1 of the legislation states: “The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (a) The global spread of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, or COVID-19, has claimed the lives of over 6,000,000 people worldwide, including nearly 90,000 Californians. (b) Data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that unvaccinated individuals are at a risk of dying from COVID-19 that is 11 times greater than those who are fully vaccinated. (c) The safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines have been confirmed through evaluation by the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the vaccines continue to undergo intensive safety monitoring by the CDC. (d) The spread of misinformation and disinformation about COVID-19 vaccines has weakened public confidence and placed lives at serious risk.   “(e) Major news outlets have reported that some of the most dangerous propagators of inaccurate information regarding the COVID-19 vaccines are licensed health care professionals. (f) The Federation of State Medical Boards has released a statement warning that physicians who engage in the dissemination of COVID-19 vaccine misinformation or disinformation risk losing their medical license, and that physicians have a duty to provide their patients with accurate, science-based information. (g) In House Resolution No. 74 of the 2021–22 Regular Session, the California State Assembly declared health misinformation to be a public health crisis, and urged the State of California to commit to appropriately combating health misinformation and curbing the spread of falsehoods that threaten the health and safety of Californians.”   The bill defines disinformation as: “misinformation that the licensee deliberately disseminated with malicious intent or an intent to mislead.” Misinformation is defined as: “false information that is contradicted by contemporary scientific consensus contrary to the standard of care.” This legislation attempts to codify that doctors who have found success outside of government-mandated protocols are subject to losing their licenses. The bill assumes falsely that the COVID science is settled and that the COVID protocols and vaccines are safe and effective—both are misinformation in of themselves as proven by science and experience. This type of legislation is an ingredient of which dictatorships are made. Psalm 119:163 says, “I hate and abhor falsehood.” We all should. And this legislation penalizes those who expose government falsehoods.   Sources:   https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB2098

Daily Devotion: What Are We to Do? - by Greg Laurie – www.harvest.org   So, you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. —Luke 21:32   https://harvest.org/resources/devotion/what-are-we-to-do/ - Listen   The breakdown of the American family is the root of so many of our social ills today. You can take almost every social ill, every societal problem in our nation, and trace it directly back to the breakdown of the family. And it is not just the breakdown of the family, but it’s also the redefinition of the family and, in some cases, the redefinition of a man or woman.   Immorality is being promoted and pushed onto us from every direction, not only in the media but also in our classrooms. Pretty much everywhere we look, we see a breakdown in our culture. We live in a time when our culture celebrates wrong as right and mocks right, as though it were wrong. This reminds me of a verse from the Old Testament Book of Isaiah, which says, “What sorrow for those who say that evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter” (5:20 NLT). It seems like everything is upside down now, doesn’t it?   There is also surging violence on our streets and seemingly no end in sight to a global pandemic, with COVID-19 variants springing up one after another. What are we to do?   What we are to do is watch and pray. I think all the things we see happening around us are signs of the times, reminding us that we are living in the last days. Jesus, speaking of His imminent return and the signs that would come, said, “Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near” (Luke 21:28 NKJV).   We need divine intervention. We need the Lord to hear our prayers and help us. What we need is another Jesus Movement, another spiritual awakening.
