PROPECY UPDATE...............11/29/2022

 

Give Us A Leader - By Daymond Duck - https://www.raptureready.com/2022/11/26/give-us-a-leader-by-daymond-duck-2/   Since the mid-term elections, TV and social media pundits are saying, “Biden, Pelosi, Trump, and McConnell are too old. We need fresh blood, someone with new ideas to solve our problems. It is time for someone else to lead, someone that can appeal to young voters, a uniter, not a divider.”   The interesting thing about this is that Bible prophecy teachers have long said there will be an outcry for “a man with a plan” at the end of the age.   We can be sure he (the Antichrist) is coming, and it is even likely that he is alive and ready to answer the call.   It is no coincidence that both parties are calling for a new leader at the same time the New York Federal Reserve Bank and several other banks are conducting a 12-week pilot program (The 12 weeks started on Nov. 15, 2022) to study the use of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).   Just to let you know, LifeSiteNews posted an article by Emily Mangiaracina dated Nov. 16, 2022, that says:   Some banks involved in the 12-week pilot program are global banks (As global banks, they will impact the global economic system).   The government says CBDCs will speed up transactions and improve the global financial system (They are predicting a worldwide impact).   If the government starts using CBDCs, they can monitor everything people buy and sell (in every nation that uses them).   If the government wants to impose negative interest rates on citizens, the government can charge interest on the money citizens have in the bank.   If the government wants to deduct taxes from citizens’ bank accounts, the government can deduct taxes without the citizens’ permission.   If other nations want to use the CBDC, it can be a multi-national currency (It can even be transformed into a one-world currency).   The U.S. government has not said when a CBDC might be implemented, but the 12-week pilot program is taking place now (It could be implemented when the U.S. government wants to implement it).   (My opinion: The Mark of the Beast will be implemented in the middle of the Tribulation Period. Christians will see it beginning to come to pass, but the Pre-Trib Rapture will remove Christians before it is implemented.)   (Another opinion: At the same time that all of this is beginning to come to pass, globalists want to replace the Ten Commandments in the Bible with ten climate change commandments and make them global law. Should I say Mystery Babylon the Great, The Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth?)   (Another opinion: These prophecies were given almost 2,000 years ago, and anyone that thinks it is just a coincidence or a conspiracy theory that all of these things are happening at the same time needs to think again, and they may need to make their salvation sure.)   Here are more prophecy-related current events that recently made the news.   One, concerning the tracking of all buying and selling: on Nov. 9, 2022, a joint directive by China’s National Health Commission and other health-related agencies called for the healthcare records of China’s 1.4 billion citizens to be digitized and linked to their national ID number by 2025.   Chinese government agencies can then track and deny benefits to any citizen that doesn’t comply with government policies.   Two, concerning the growth of Israel at the end of the age: on Nov. 18, 2022, it was reported that Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to legalize dozens of settlements in Judea and Samaria within 60 days of being sworn in as Israel’s next Prime Min.   This will have to be approved by the Knesset.   Pres. Biden, many world leaders, and the Palestinians will strongly oppose it.   Three, according to Rev. 16:12, the great Euphrates River will dry up during the Tribulation Period to allow the Kings of the East (an alliance of Eastern nations probably under the leadership of China) to move their 200-million-man army into the Middle East in preparation for an attack on Israel.   On Nov. 18, 2022, it was reported that the rainfall in Iraq has declined by 30% over the last 3 decades, almost 40% of Iraq is now desert, dams are reducing the flow of water from Turkey, and the flow of water in the river is now down to about 20% of what it once was.   (Note: This is causing lakes behind dams to dry up, reducing the supply of electricity, causing crop failure, threatening the supply of food and drinking water, and more. It is a major disaster in the making.)   Four, concerning world government: at the recent G20 meeting (19 major nations plus the EU) on Nov. 15-16, 2022, Klaus Schwab, head of the World Economic Forum (WEF), said, “We (the nations) need a “deep systemic and structural restructuring of our world.”   The nations are transitioning to a restructured world (called Build Back Better or The Great Reset) right now, and this transition will lead to the rise of Antichrist and the Tribulation Period.   Five, concerning world government: on Nov. 18, 2022, French Pres. Emanuel Macron said, “We need a single global order” (a New World Order to maintain peace and stability in the world).   Many students of Bible prophecy know the UN goal is 2030 or sooner.   Every day takes us one day closer, and they are going by fast for some people.   Six, concerning the coming world religion and the Conference of Parties (COP27) meeting at Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, earlier this month: on Nov. 21, 2022, it was reported that members of the Interfaith Sustainable Development Center took their 10 climate change commandments to Mt. Sinai and smashed them to mirror Moses’s smashing the stone tablets that God wrote the Ten Commandments on.   The 10 climate change commandments were written by the Elijah Board of World Religious Leaders, and they were smashed to protest the world’s inaction on climate change.   Seven, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has an undeniable record of supporting unlimited abortion, same-sex marriage, gender conversions, climate change which favors reducing the population of the earth, and Covid-19 vaccinations that cause miscarriages or infertility.   According to the National Center for Health Statistics, the birth rate in the U.S. has dropped to the point that we are no longer replacing all our deceased citizens.   This has prompted Schumer to say the U.S. has a worker shortage and we need to embrace more immigrants.   Have you got that?   Schumer wants to kill babies of U.S. citizens, pay for transgender operations and Covid-19 vaccinations to prevent babies from being born, etc., but he wants to increase the population of the U.S. with illegal immigrants from other countries.   Who would have ever thought that a U.S. Senator would want to stop U.S. citizens from reproducing and replace them with illegal immigrants?   Eight, concerning pestilence and a deliberate reduction in the population of the earth: on Nov. 22, 2022, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), delivered a speech about Covid-19 at the White House where he said, “I did not imagine, and I don’t think any of my colleagues imagined that we would see a three-year saga of suffering and death and a million Americans losing their lives.”   One million people might not have died if Dr. Fauci and his colleagues had not deliberately blocked the use of Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine.   The blood of one million Americans may be on their hands.   Nine, concerning corruption in the recent elections: a Trump supporter, Kari Lake (R), challenged Arizona’s Sec. of State, Kati Hobbs (D), for Governor.   As Sec. of State, Hobbs was Arizona’s top election official.   The Republican, Lake, called for the Democrat, Hobbs, to resign her position in charge of the election, but Hobbs refused to resign.   There were 223 polling places in Maricopa County where most of the Arizona voters live, and the printer ink in the tabulation machines was too light in 70 of the tabulation machines that were in predominantly Republican areas.   The voting was slowed, and voters were told to leave their ballots so they could be counted someplace else.   With 98% of the votes counted and Hobbs leading by about 17,200 votes, Hobbs declared herself the winner of the election.   Lake has requested a revote in those areas where the tabulation machines failed, and the votes were counted someplace else.   Hobbs, who oversees the election and declared herself the winner, refuses to do it.   As the person in charge of the election, Hobbs had 2 years to be sure the tabulation machines had the right ink in them and they worked properly.   Hobbs’ actions have caused doubt about the validity of the election.   Lake has attorneys reviewing the situation and says she is still in the fight.   Arizona’s Attorney Gen. has ordered Maricopa County to submit a full report on how the election was conducted, and election officials in two Republican-led counties are refusing to certify the election.   (Note: Demonstrators protesting about a stolen election in Brazil have had their bank accounts frozen and been banned from posting information on social media.)   Ten, concerning inflation: on Nov. 19, 2022, the American Farm Bureau Federation reported that the average Thanksgiving meal with all the trimmings will cost 20% more in the U.S. this year than last year.   (More: A report by the Heritage Foundation says inflation in the U.S. has cost the average family $7,400 in 2022. At this rate, many families will own nothing before 2030.)   Eleven, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog in the latter days and latter years: this week, I read that Israel is extremely concerned about recent developments in the relationship between Russia and Iran (sale of drones, oil, etc.), so Israel is monitoring and assessing that relationship every day.   (More: On Nov. 21, 2022, it was reported that Israel’s National Security Advisor notified Russia that Israel will start supplying high-precision missiles to Ukraine if Iran starts supplying ballistic missiles to Russia. Putin has warned Israel against supplying weapons to Ukraine.)   Twelve, concerning world government: on Nov. 22, 2022, lifesitenews.com reported that Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano recently told a group of medical doctors (summarized in the words of Vigano and myself):   At the recent G-20 Summit, Klaus Schwab discussed the World Economic Forum’s future steps toward the creation of a world government.   Schwab said: “In the fourth industrial revolution, the winners will take it all, so if you are a World Economic Forum first mover, you are the winners.”   Vigano said, “These (Schwab’s) very serious statements have two implications: the first is that ‘the winners will take it all’ and will be ‘winners.’ The second is that those who do not adapt to this ‘fourth industrial revolution’ will find themselves ousted and will lose – they will lose everything, including their freedom.”   Vigano added, “It is a global coup d’état…. Those who govern nations have all become either enslaved or blackmailed by this international mafia.”   “The driving principles (of people like Klaus Schwab, George Soros, and Bill Gates) are rebellion against God, hatred for the Church and humanity, and destructive fury aimed against Creation and especially against man because he is created in the image and likeness of God.”   “It is not possible to pretend that what is happening before our eyes is solely the result of profit-seeking or the desire for power. Certainly, the economic part cannot be disregarded, considering how many people have collaborated with the World Economic Forum. And yet, beyond profit, there are unstated purposes that stem from a “theological” vision – one that is turned upside-down, it’s true, but still theological – a vision that sees two opposing sides: the side of Christ and the side of the Antichrist.”   “Our battle is not against creatures made of flesh and blood, but against the Principalities and Powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the spirits of evil that dwell in the heavenly places” (Eph 6:12).   As I understand Vigano, there is more behind the creation of a New World Order than well-funded rich men lusting for money and power.   World leaders are under the influence of organized spiritual forces that are working to get rid of God and enslave everyone under an antichrist government.   One of Vigano’s most profound statements is, “There can be no neutrality because when there is a clash between two armies, those who choose not to fight are also making a choice that affects the outcome of the battle.”   Here is a link to the article:   https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/abp-vigano-the-covid-pandemic-farce-served-as-a-trial-balloon-for-the-new-world-order/?utm_source=daily-usa-2022-11-23&utm_medium=email   Twelve, concerning world government: on May 22-28, 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) met to vote on 13 amendments the U.S. wanted to a treaty that would give the WHO control over the healthcare of every individual on earth.   12 of the amendments were tabled, and all the nations were given permission to submit amendments until Sept. 2022.   WHO’s consideration of the amendments was scheduled to begin in Nov. 2022.   The WHO soon announced that it would draft a new treaty called the International Pandemic Treaty based on the requested amendments.   The WHO also wanted the power to declare public health emergencies, require a digital passport, and a digital ID system.   So, the WHO said it would draft a treaty that would allow the WHO to:   Declare public health emergencies, Control everyone’s health care, Require a digital passport, and Require a digital ID system.   The WHO said it would ask for the New International Treaty to be finalized by 2024 (By 2024 probably means before the end of 2023).   In addition to declaring a public health emergency over nations, the WHO said it would also ask for the power to declare a public health emergency over regions of nations.   Nothing was said about how many regions of nations there will be.   The WHO said it wanted an Emergency Committee of “Regional Directors” (or Regional Czars) that would report to the WHO Director-General.   The WHO would have the power to declare (and enforce) a public health emergency even if the leaders of individual nations disagreed.   This means the WHO Director-General and Regional Directors would have power over the nations.   Think about it: global digital passport, global digital ID system, the world divided into regions under Regional Directors, the Regional Directors reporting to one man (the Director General).   I don’t know if all of this is in the treaty or not, but this I do know: On Nov. 11, 2022, naturalnews.com reported that the New International Pandemic Treaty is in the final stages of development.   According to Mike Adams and Dr. Francis Boyle, the treaty has been “specifically written to overturn the United States Constitution and all domestic laws in every nation worldwide.”   The article says, “In essence, the new WHO pandemic treaty turns the entire world into a China-style medical police state where sovereign nations, states, and individuals themselves have no recognized health freedom rights whatsoever.”   It says, “Even worse, the WHO pandemic treaty calls for global censorship against all who disagree with the WHO, allowing the WHO to dictate which voices or organizations should be removed from tech platforms.”   “In essence, it makes the WHO the ‘Ministry of Truth.'”   Here is a link to an article:   https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-11-22-who-pandemic-treaty-in-final-stages-overrule-us-constitution-medical-dictatorship.html   Here is a link to a video:   https://www.brighteon.com/f6c011ae-e0a1-4693-be9b-60e0ca13ddf5   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

The Infrastructure Of Antichrist - By Hal Lindsey - https://www.hallindsey.com/ww-11-27-2022/   We live in the age of surveillance. Cameras (attached to facial recognition systems), satellites, street sensors, license plate readers, drones, credit cards, computers, phones, televisions, “smart” devices, and other technologies watch every move we make. Corporations use this avalanche of data to make money. But does it work? Not always. According to Business Insider, Amazon is on track to lose $10 billion dollars on its Alexa division this year. That’s billion… with a “B.”   Amazon is big, but the loss of that kind of money still hurts. According to Macrotrends, “Amazon net income for the twelve months ending September 30, 2022 was $11.323 billion.” So, on paper at least, Alexa losses this year will almost equal Amazon’s profit. What do they hope to gain from Alexa in the future that makes it worth that level of loss today?   Alexa is a cloud-based personal assistant. The original idea was that it would build brand loyalty to Amazon by giving people easy access to things like the weather or favorite music. Planners had also hoped to make it easier for people to order products from Amazon. That part hasn’t worked too well. It turns out that people want to see products (or at least pictures of those products) before they buy them.   But Alexa is more than an assistant. It is also a massive data vacuum cleaner. It sucks up information about you at unprecedented levels. By default, the microphones on Alexa devices are always on. They are required to be on so that Alexa can know when you are addressing it, and then follow your instructions. Amazon says that Alexa only listens for key words that “wake up” the device. But that’s something we just have to take their word for.   A few years ago, Samsung admitted that its smart TVs listen to all kinds of things. “Please be aware,” Samsung warned, “that if your spoken words include personal or other sensitive information, that information will be among the data captured and transmitted to a third party through your use of Voice Recognition.”   Samsung openly warns us to be careful what we say in the vicinity of their smart TVs. They record conversations and send them to Samsung computers. Their user agreement then allows them to sell the data contained in those conversations — no matter how private — to third parties. The good news is that you can turn off voice commands on the TV. The bad news is that you have to take their word for the fact that Samsung microphones (and cameras) are really off.   What do these companies do with all that data? If Alexa is any indicator, they do not make money with it. But government has lots of uses for it, and in the future will be able to tap into it at will. Services such as Alexa were originally built to make money and serve customers. Sadly, the companies that built them were unknowingly building the infrastructure of Antichrist.

100 Million Dead Birds Are Just The Beginning, Because This Pestilence Is Far From Over… - by Michael Snyder - http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/100-million-dead-birds-are-just-the-beginning-because-this-pestilence-is-far-from-over/   Did you know that an extremely vicious virus that is currently sweeping across the globe has already killed more than 100 million birds? If you haven’t heard about this yet, don’t feel bad, because most people in the general population don’t know about this either. Like so many of the other nightmares that we are facing right now, the mainstream media continues to downplay the bird flu crisis and continues to insist that authorities have everything under control. But of course the truth is that they don’t have this outbreak under control. Flocks are being steadily wiped out all over the planet, and prices for turkey, chicken and eggs just keep going higher and higher. If the bird flu spreads even faster in 2023 than it did in 2022, it won’t be too long before we have some pretty serious shortages on our hands.   Over the long Thanksgiving weekend, it was being reported that the official death toll in the U.S. has now reached 50.54 million. That makes this “the worst animal-health disaster in U.S. history”…   More than 50.54 million U.S. birds have died in what is the worst Avian flu outbreak in U.S. history, according to data from the Department of Agriculture, Reuters reports. It also marks the worst animal-health disaster in U.S. history.   But it is perfectly “normal” for tens of millions of our turkeys and chickens to be wiped out, right?   Unfortunately, this pestilence is not just limited to the United States. In fact, the UK and the European Union “are also suffering their worst avian-flu crises”…   Losses of poultry flocks sent prices for eggs and turkey meat to record highs, worsening economic pain for consumers facing red-hot inflation and making Thursday’s Thanksgiving celebrations more expensive in the United States. Europe and Britain are also suffering their worst avian-flu crises, and some British supermarkets rationed customers’ egg purchases after the outbreak disrupted supplies.   We have never seen anything like this before.   According to CNBC, the number of dead birds in the EU alone has reached “nearly 50 million”…   Governments across Europe have culled bird populations to limit the spread of avian flu. Almost six million birds have been killed in the Netherlands since October 2021, while Spain, Bulgaria, Denmark and France have also been badly affected.   Nearly 50 million birds have been killed in Europe this year as countries try to contain the disease, according to the EU’s Food Safety Agency.   Actually, that figure is a bit old, but I was not able to find an updated one.   But if you take that number and add 50 million from the United States, that gives us a grand total of approximately 100 million dead birds, and that doesn’t even account for the remainder of the globe.   For example, nearly 3 million birds have already been wiped out in Japan, and at this point the bird flu is beginning to spread like wildfire in that country…   Cases of the highly pathogenic avian influenza, or bird flu, are spreading at an unusual pace in Japan, with 18 outbreaks confirmed this season through Saturday at poultry farms in 12 of the country’s 47 prefectures.   But that number is expected to rise further, in line with global trends.   This has truly become a worldwide crisis.   Past outbreaks have either greatly subsided or completely gone away during the hot summer months, but that did not happen this year.   In 2022, the virus “continued to fester” during the warmer months, and now authorities are concerned that things could get much worse during the cold months that are in front of us…   “The virus has mostly impacted turkey and egg operations, sending prices to all-time highs and contributing to soaring food inflation. While the spread slowed during the warmer months, it continued to fester and now risks further spread as cooling temperatures prompt more birds to migrate,” Bloomberg said.   Of course this comes at a really bad time, because if you follow my work on a regular basis you already know that global food production is being hit hard from countless directions right now.   The UN has already been warning us that 2023 will be a year of famine in many areas of the planet, and so it would be very helpful if the bird flu were to disappear.   Unfortunately, that is not likely to happen any time soon.   And actually we have been extremely fortunate so far.   If the bird flu were to mutate into a form that humans can catch and spread easily, we would rapidly be facing a global health scare of epic proportions.   Up to this point, it has been rare for humans to catch the bird flu, but when it does happen the death rate can be as high as 60 percent…   But when the bird flu does infect people, it can be quite severe, with a mortality rate estimated to be at approximately 60 percent, according to the CDC.   Can you imagine how frightened people would be if such a virus started spreading among humans in our major population centers?   The panic would be far beyond anything that we have experienced over the past few years.   So this is a story that we will want to keep a close eye on.   For years, I warned my readers that we were moving into an era of great pestilences.   Sadly, the times that I warned about have now arrived.   Of course what we have been through so far is just the beginning.   The pestilences that we are currently dealing with will continue to spread, and more are coming.   Millions upon millions of people have died up to this point, and tens of millions more will eventually die.   A lot of you have been waiting for life to “return to normal”, but that isn’t going to happen.   Global events have begun to spiral out of control, and things are only going to get more intense as we roll into 2023.

Counterfeit Commandments – Terry James - https://terryjamesprophecyline.com/2022/11/28/counterfeit-commandments/   We’ve looked many times at how Satan wants to be worshipped as God. From the very beginning, in the account of his actions against God, we can see that prideful tendency that exploded into full-fledged rebellion.   For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. (Isaiah 14:13–14)    As brilliant as this angel is (at one time he was said to be the most powerful of God’s angels), Lucifer (Satan) apparently never had an original thought. His only strategy seems to be mimicking God–counterfeiting what God has already finished.   Probably the best example of this is seen in what is prophetically scheduled for the Tribulation (Revelation 19:11). I and others have pointed out on numerous occasions the nature of Satan’s activity during that most terrible time of all history, as Jesus called it (Matthew 24: 21).   Lucifer will counterfeit the Trinity (God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit). This is found in Revelation chapter 13, with the introduction of the first beast, the second beast, and Satan himself as giving power and authority to these wicked cohorts during the Tribulation era.   Satan is, in the Revelation 13 account, the counterfeit of God the Father; Antichrist is counterfeit of God the Son; and the False Prophet is scheduled to be the counterfeit of God the Holy Spirit. We usually call these three the “unholy trinity.”   This evil triumvirate will cause all to worship Satan or be killed. They will be able to perform imitations of miracles—one of the most dramatic of which is described as follows:   And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. (Revelation 13:3)   This deception, of course, will be Satan mimicking Jesus’ return to life after death. The Antichrist will appear to be raised from the dead in a mocking counterfeit of the magnificent Resurrection of Jesus Christ.   So the time of the Tribulation will be an era marked by satanic counterfeit miracles–signs and wonders from the dark dimension. The entire world full of deluded earth-dwellers, as they are called, will follow this false trinity to their doom.   We often point out that we’re now seeing foreshadows of things that will be in full force from Satan once the seven years of hell on earth arrive. For example, the Antichrist regime is in view in the form of the globalist efforts such as Agenda 21 and the World Economic Forum. Artificial intelligence (AI) and other technological wonders foreshadow the coming absolute surveillance controls that will be in effect when the marks-and-numbers system of Revelation 13:16–18 is in effect.   And, most interestingly, the harlot religious system of Revelation chapter 17 has leaped to the forefront of hints of things to come. We’ve recently looked at this blatant false religion emerging, and now eerie details are suddenly right in our faces as we watch prophetic progression.   Many of us remember the Cecil B. DeMille movie, The Ten Commandments. Despite literary license and occasional glaring errors, it was, in my view, a masterpiece.   One of the most dramatic scenes was when Moses came down from Mt. Sinai carrying the two tablets bearing the Ten Commandments that had been carved by the finger of God.   Remember how Moses, infuriated that the children of Israel were dancing nude and worshipping the golden calf, raised the tablets above his head and flung them angrily toward the then-terrified people. It was one of the most powerful moments of the film, as God’s righteous anger brought an earthquake, and many were swallowed in the fissure that opened beneath their feet.   Well, Satan’s foreshadowing is again in view as he prepares equally rebellious people of earth for his continuing intention to usurp the throne of God. We see this in the following:   A group of religious leaders held a ceremony in the Sinai Peninsula to call on the world to pay more attention to the environment by smashing a pair of tablets on the ground earlier this week.   In an initiative called The Sinai Climate Partnership, The Interfaith Center for Sustainable Development (ICSD), The Elijah Interfaith Institute, the Peace Department, the United Nations Faith for Earth Initiative, Gig watt Global, and the Israeli environmental advocacy organization, Adam Teva V’Din took part in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP27), which is taking place in the Sinai Peninsula, in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.   But the faith leaders took an alternative approach, seeking a faith-based solution to the ecological crisis by promoting the “Ten Principles for Climate Justice” in a global initiative. Toward this end, they held a sunrise ceremony on Sunday at the summit of Jabal Musa, a mountain in the southern Sinai Peninsula that according to some traditions is the site where Moses received the Ten Commandments.   A symbolic delegation of five members ascended and was joined by several participants from the COP conference. The group read from a new draft of their “Ten Principles for Climate Repentance,” recently composed by dozens of multifaith leaders meeting in London over the week. (“Spiritual ecological partnership smashes Tablets on Mount Sinai claiming ‘broken promises.’” Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz, Israel365 News)   Seems that Satan’s human minions have watched DeMille’s movie, too. The ten counterfeit commandments point to the false religion of Mother Earth worship that is front and center. The climate changers are angry that we aren’t all falling in line to join their one-world effort to save the planet—thus the symbolic Charlton Heston slamming of the tablets.   All of this means that the Lord’s call to His Church must be very near indeed.   Don’t be left behind to face what this devilish religious system has in store for those who will have rejected Jesus Christ–the only Way, Truth, and Life with God the Father in Heaven for eternity.   Here is how to make sure you don’t miss that call to “Come up here!” (Revelation 4: 1):   That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:9–10)

Daily Jot: The censorship machine - Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com   In all the 20 years of writing and publishing The Daily Jot, it never has been censored. Even though many controversial topics have been covered from a biblical worldview. Through the entire COVID episode of unconstitutional lockdowns and mandates, quarantining of healthy people, coercing the public through fear and leveraging an unholy alliance of business, media and government to take an experimental shot that didn’t work as advertised and is known now to have many side effects, The Daily Jot was not censored. I was able to cover both sides, or all sides, of the many heated debates with clear documentation. Last week, however, that track record was broken. The Daily Jot was censored.   The column “Stupidocrisy: Biden targets senior citizens” was published on Wednesday, November 23 through all the normal channels. The column quoted word for word the White House fact sheet on how it planned to launch a nearly half-a-billion dollar marketing campaign to get people to take the COVID shot. Word for word on how the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services was going to issue new regulations to police senior centers and nursing homes to hold them accountable for the proper “education” of residents to take the booster shot. That “nursing homes with low vaccination rates will be referred to state survey agencies for close scrutiny, and that facilities that do not comply with the requirement to offer and educate on the benefit of lifesaving COVID-19 vaccinations will face enforcement actions.”   The column also quoted from several peer-reviewed studies from reputable sources about the risks and effectiveness of the COVID shot. Documented sources included MIT, the International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice and Research, the New England Journal of Medicine, the UK government Vaccine Surveillance report, and the VAERs reporting system. Yet when the column was posted to Twitter and Facebook, crickets. Nothing. Two days go by and nothing. Usually these posts appear immediately. I decided to try to post again, but editing out the obvious statement about how the Biden Administration was conducting this campaign despite widespread studies questioning the shot’s efficacy and safety.   When I reposted the edited version to Facebook, it posted but with immediate warnings: “Missing context Independent fact-checkers say this information could mislead people”; “Visit the COVID-19 Information Center for vaccine resources”; “Fact Check: CDC’s VAERS ‘Reports’ Are NOT Solid Proof of Vaccine Injuries Or Deaths — Just Starting Point for CDC, FDA Investigators” and this directed readers to a website called “leadstories.com”. Had I not edited the content and reposted, the column would not have been read on Facebook or on Twitter. And when it was reposted, Facebook put warnings all over it to make it look like it was not credible. This is how truth is censored. It is how science is censored. And it is how people are deceived by agenda-programed censor machines. Christ said in Matthew 24:4, “Take heed that no man deceive you.” We all have to be on guard, 24-7 because we don’t know who fact checks the fact checkers.

Daily Devotion: Repentant? Or Just Remorseful? - by Greg Laurie – www.harvest.org   For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death. - 2 Corinthians 7:10   https://harvest.org/resources/devotion/repentant-or-just-remorseful/ Listen   If I were to get in my car and go down the freeway at 140 miles per hour, I would be remorseful if the highway patrol pulled me over. Why? Because I’d pay a penalty for my choices. I’d get a ticket and maybe even spend the night in jail. And my insurance rates would go up significantly.   But if I were to get in my car and do the same thing the next day, it would show that I was not repentant.   There’s a difference between remorse and repentance. Sometimes we confuse the two. We’re remorseful when we’re sorry for getting caught. But we’re repentant when we’re sorry enough to stop doing the same thing.   A lot of people feel remorse. Maybe someone traps them in a lie or catches them stealing. Or maybe they sin in some other way, and it catches up with them eventually. Thus, they’re remorseful. But do they change their behavior?   If they simply plot a little more carefully the next time and hope they won’t get caught, that’s not repentance; that’s just remorse.   The Bible says, “For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death” (2 Corinthians 7:10 NLT).   If you can continue on a course of sin despite feeling guilty about it, that tells me you don’t know God.   Maybe you’ve never given your life to Jesus. Maybe there has never been a moment in your life when you said, “Lord, I’m sorry for my sin, sorry enough to turn away from it.” Perhaps you’ve been sorry because you’ve been found out, but are you willing to turn away from that sin and put your faith in Jesus?   Jesus is telling us, “Friend, I love you, and I’m reaching out to you.” But you must reach out as well and take His hand. Have you done that yet?

What Is Satan’s Five-Part Plan to Destroy America? - By Nathan Jones - https://www.raptureready.com/2022/11/12/what-is-satans-five-part-plan-to-destroy-america-by-nathan-jones/   Our nation is under attack! Jarring social changes and frightening geopolitical events pummel our sensibilities like waves endlessly breaking upon the shore. Life’s been getting a whole lot crazier with each passing year. And now, an election season fraught with epic consequences is bearing down upon us all.   What exactly is going on behind the scenes that’s causing so much confusion?   Satan has a five-part plan to disrupt and destroy the United States of America and other Western societies. Allen Parr of Allen Parr Ministries and host of the hit YouTube channel The BEAT joined me on Prophetic Perspectives to reveal Satan’s insidious plan.   #1 – Breaking Down Families   The breaking down of families isn’t something necessarily new, but currently, there are a whole lot of woke organizations out there that have been fighting for evil under the banners of feminist rights and many other anti-family positions. Clearly, a war on the traditional nuclear family is being waged. As a result, divorce rates climb ever higher, even among Christians. We have more and more people giving up on their marriages. The Enemy knows that people are stronger together than apart, so Satan has made a concerted effort to tear apart the foundational structure of our society — the nuclear family.   Jesus in Matthew 19:1-10 reiterates what was written in Malachi 2:16, “For the Lord God of Israel says that He hates divorce, for it covers one’s garment with violence.” Satan absolutely hates the nuclear family because the family establishes the very foundation for a just and godly society.   As the family goes, so society goes. The Enemy knows this truth, and so he creates conflict and discord within the home for the purpose of causing families to break up. Divorce creates a significantly negative effect on children of broken homes, often causing young adults to prefer to just live together in sin or wait to get married much later in life, sometimes well past their child-rearing years.   If Satan can split children off from a nurturing family structure, then they become far more vulnerable to temptation. That’s the number one tactic in Satan’s strategy to destroy the foundations of a nation.   #2 – Abortion   If you cannot break a family, then eliminate it before it ever begins. Americans have aborted 63 million babies since 1973 when the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision legalized abortion. China has aborted 300 million babies in that time! Even with the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the death toll due to abortion in the US and across the globe is both shocking and genocidal.   God abhors abortion! Let’s call abortion what it truly is — murder. God in Exodus 20:13 commands, “you shalt not murder,” which is the Sixth Commandment.   The Enemy has been trying to normalize murder through abortion. Same as the homosexual agenda, Satan has been working to minimize this sin as not being a big deal. He’ll cloak murder under the auspices of a women’s right to choose or that an unborn baby isn’t really life yet, so abortion isn’t really murder. Satan works to place doubts in people’s minds to desensitize them to what is really happening, which when it comes to abortion, is most definitely murder in God’s eyes.   #3 – Confusion Over Sexual Identity   The third tactic Satan has been using to attack our nation, especially targeting the newest generation, is by causing great confusion over one’s gender and sexual identity. It seems like now, more than ever, our youth have become terribly confused about something as simple as their own gender.   In interviews on college campuses, when students are asked how many genders there are, some amazingly respond with “infinite,” and some just make up numbers because they simply have no idea. Job applications are offering the choices of “Male,” “Female,” and “Other.” Gender is also being removed from birth certificates. The Enemy is doing a job on our youth by getting them confused over the biological identity to which they were born.   And yet, the Bible declares there are only two genders. Genesis 1:27 states, “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” This verse clearly does not say “male, female, fluid, and so on” It states that God created two genders and only two genders.   Not only has confusion over gender and sexual identity been running rampant, but gargantuan efforts have been made to create sexual preference confusion as well. The LGBTQ+ agenda is being pushed on almost every television program that is available to watch. It’s blatantly obvious that the Media is strenuously attempting to normalize the homosexual agenda with regular characters that are same-sex couples or by extolling characters who are inclined to be same-sex attracted. “Family friendly” entertainment companies such as Disney and, shockingly, even some of our public school teachers work hard to normalize sexuality, even as young as the tender elementary ages.   We are watching in horror as the Enemy weaves into the fabric of our country the normalization of extra-marital sexuality, which is something God has clearly defined as sin (Lev. 18:22; 20:13; Rom. 1:24-27; 1 Cor. 6:9-10; 1 Tim. 1:9-10). In his insidious effort, Satan has particularly been targeting the minds of our newest generation to lead them into bondage to lust and confusion and so separate them from their Creator’s good and perfect will.   #4 – Emotional Disorders   We are living in a time when many kids suffer from low self-esteem, depression, and anxiety. Children are being prescribed massive amounts of medication to deal with these emotional conditions.   And yet, our Lord Jesus says in John 10:10, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” Our Creator cherishes each and every one of His creations made in His image, but Satan steals their identity away from them with Evolution and other Humanist philosophies. This tragically has resulted in a generation that sees life as pointless and concludes that its existence is meaningless.   #5 – Division   The last component of Satan’s five-part plan to destroy America involves tribalism. The Enemy attacks our nation by fomenting division. Americans are so divided right now! You cannot go on social media and have a discussion without endless arguing and strife. Social media has become one of the main tools in Satan’s insidious work toward sowing discord and division throughout our society.   Three different ways Satan causes division: race, politics, and denominationalism. Obviously, there has been a whole lot of racial tension in our country, especially since the Floyd police incident and the subsequent riots of 2020. The Enemy has been using Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality to sow discord and divide people along ethnic lines.   Politics, especially in an election year, are always divisive. Christians are called to vote for biblical values, which often puts them at odds with family and friends. Each side of the political aisle acts as if their vote determines the eternal existence of the nation, and whose hype creates even greater discord and division.   Denominations are also well known for arguing and fussing over various doctrines and other ecclesiastical subjects instead of keeping the focus on Jesus Christ and the primary doctrines. Sadly, Christians don’t often get along very well with each other. It’s rather a sad blight on the Church. Christians should all be on the same team, and yet we’ve long been letting denominationalism break us apart. Christians don’t even realize that denominationalism is being used as a tool of the Devil to create discord within the Church.   These five key tactics are employed by Satan to wreak havoc for the purpose of eventually destroying our society. Now that we know what Satan’s five-part plan is, we can counter it. Christians remain called to continue to be “salt and light” in this fallen world. We stand for righteousness in an increasingly dark era. And, as we wait for the return of Jesus Christ, we continue to share the Gospel, all the way up until the King of Kings’ glorious return to conquer Satan and his minions of evil.   https://christinprophecy.org

Foreshadowing Foretellings – Terry James - https://terryjamesprophecyline.com/2022/11/14/foreshadowing-foretellings/   Again we consider the words of the greatest of all prophets. He is the greatest of all prophets, of course, because He is God.   The words of Jesus Christ are reverberating today to all who are familiar with end-of-the-age signals. And one instruction the Lord Himself gave for this very generation, I’m convinced, is the most significant. It is the “heads-up” we’ve looked at continually for months and even years.   And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. (Luke 21:28)   Jesus had just stunned His disciples, telling them that the beautiful Temple they were looking at would be completely thrown down. The Lord then addressed the questions Peter, James, John, and Andrew had asked: “Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?” (Mark 13:4).   We’ve gone over the Olivet Discourse many times, learning all of the things Jesus said would come to pass. He told of the horrors of the coming Tribulation, the arrival of Antichrist, and the plight of the Jewish people at the time of the Great Tribulation.   But let’s remember that Jesus wasn’t limited to only prophesying things that were scheduled for fulfillment. Concerning Jesus Christ, we are told: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1).   Every single prophecy in God’s Word, no matter the prophet through whom it is given, is a foretelling by the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the Word! So whether we’re considering the prophecy given under Ezekiel’s watch, or those given under the Apostle Paul’s, or those presented by anyone else in Scripture, it is the same as the Lord Himself speaking.   When Jesus left us with the command to “look up and lift up your head” when “you see all these things begin to come to pass,” He was saying that we should pay close attention to every prophecy for the end of the age. He was directing believers to carefully observe all prophetic signals when we know these things are beginning to happen, because, at that time, He is on the very cusp of calling all of His children to Himself.   So we look now at the title of our commentary: “Foreshadowing Foretellings.”   Jesus said we will “see these things begin to come to pass” (Luke 21: 28). He didn’t say “if” we see them come to pass. He was telling obedient believers who “watch,” as given in Mark 13:37, that we will know He is drawing near when we see things prophesied for the end of the age “begin” to come to pass.   Observation of these signals involves “foreshadowing of foretellings” found throughout the Word of God. We’ve looked—in practically every blog, article, and book I’ve written—at how things are precisely setting the stage for fulfillment of prophecy.   We’ve looked at the events and issues of these times that foreshadow the formation of the New World Order; we’ve seen the forming Babylonian beast that both Daniel and John said casts a darkening cloud of coming horrors upon the geopolitical landscape at this late hour.   We’ve gone over Israel’s rebirth into modernity and the prophecies surrounding that miracle. We have examined the headlines involving Israel’s enemies to the north as foreshadowing the Gog-Magog attack Ezekiel foretold.   The man of sin’s platform of world power seems almost ready for Antichrist’s ascendance.   We recently looked at the world’s governmental and religious leaders now coming together at the traditional Mount Sinai (Sharm El Sheikh) in Egypt—to pay homage to the planet by bringing their unholy machinations to bear in their insane efforts to save Mother Earth. We thereby see the foreshadowing of the false worship system of Revelation chapter 17—the whore that rides the beast foretold by Daniel (chapter 7) and John (Revelation chapter 13).   Time and time again, we ‘ve gone over the cultural and societal wickedness that has saturated our nation and the world with Sodom and Gomorrah-like evil. These blasphemous, debased developments foreshadow Jesus’ prophetic words of Luke 17: 6–30.   A number of personalities arising in world leadership seem to foreshadow entities foretold to appear at the end of the age.   Vladimir Putin of Russia, for example, seems to have the characteristics of the one who will be the “Gog” Ezekiel described. And all circumstances surrounding what’s going on in the Middle East and with Mr. Putin add to the intrigues regarding the possible soon fulfillment of the Gog-Magog prophecy.   And now I find most interesting the 33-year-old Jewish rabbi who is praised and even worshipped in some Jewish Orthodox circles. Rav Shlomo Yehuda is believed to be a miracle-worker who can quote the Torah and other Jewish holy scrolls with instant and total recall. He has been filmed performing healing and other miracles, according to reports.   Whether or not he might turn out to be the False Prophet—the second beast of Revelation chapter 13—his appearance at this time certainly is a false Messiah-type foreshadowing. That is, it seems to foreshadow Jesus’ foretelling about deceivers who would come in His name as the time of His return nears.   Jesus told Israel that they would reject Him, but would accept as Messiah another who would come in His name.   When I began my novel a number of months ago—MESSIAH and the Prince That Shall Come, this candidate for that end-times partner of Antichrist wasn’t in view.   Jesus’ words about these things beginning to come to pass are now on a fast track. Let us follow his directive!   But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. (Mark 13:32–37)

One Way Or Another, The Population Of The Globe Will Soon Be Much Smaller Than It Is Right Now - by Michael Snyder - http://endoftheamericandream.com/one-way-or-another-the-population-of-the-globe-will-soon-be-much-smaller-than-it-is-right-now/   This week it is being reported that the human population of our planet has now reached 8 billion. We should all remember this moment, because soon the population of the globe will start getting much smaller. In “End Times”, I explain that we are moving into one of the most chaotic times in all of human history. There will be wars and rumors of wars, economic collapse, worldwide famines, horrifying pestilences and great natural disasters. Needless to say, in such a future the global population would fall very rapidly. But for purposes of this article, let’s imagine that none of those things will happen for the foreseeable future. For a moment, let’s imagine that conditions will be pretty much like they are today for decades to come. Unfortunately, even in such a wildly unrealistic scenario the human population of our planet would still plummet dramatically in the years ahead. In fact, if current trends continue there will be hardly anyone left by the end of this century no matter what happens.   I realize that I have just made some very outrageous statements, and a lot of you are probably wondering how I could have come to such wild conclusions.   So let me take this one step at a time.   According to the UN, the population of the world just hit 8 billion for the first time ever. The following comes from the official website of the United Nations…   The global population is projected to reach 8 billion on 15 November 2022, and India is projected to surpass China as the world’s most populous country in 2023, according to World Population Prospects 2022, released today on World Population Day.   “This year’s World Population Day falls during a milestone year, when we anticipate the birth of the Earth’s eight billionth inhabitant. This is an occasion to celebrate our diversity, recognize our common humanity, and marvel at advancements in health that have extended lifespans and dramatically reduced maternal and child mortality rates,” said UN Secretary-General António Guterres. “At the same time, it is a reminder of our shared responsibility to care for our planet and a moment to reflect on where we still fall short of our commitments to one another,” he added.   But the population of our planet is not growing as rapidly as it once was.   In fact, even the UN is acknowledging that total population growth has dropped to just a trickle…   The global population is growing at its slowest rate since 1950, having fallen under 1 per cent in 2020.   In many wealthy areas of the planet, birth rates have already dropped well below replacement level. This is true in the United States and Japan, and in Europe the population is steadily declining even though there has been a massive influx of migrants….   The European Union’s population shrank for a second year running last year, the bloc’s statistics office said on Monday, as the region reels from over two million deaths from the coronavirus.   According to Eurostat, the population of the 27 countries that make up the bloc fell by close to 172,000 from the previous year and over 656,000 from January 2020.   One of the big reasons why birth rates are falling in wealthy countries is because men in those nations are a lot less fertile than they used to be. In fact, researchers have just released a study that shows that the decline in sperm counts “has only accelerated since the turn of the century”…   Plummeting sperm counts ‘threaten mankind’s survival’, researchers dramatically warned today.   Counts have more than halved since the 1970s.   And the decline has only accelerated since the turn of the century, according to a global analysis.   Once your sperm count gets low enough, it becomes almost impossible to have children.   So this is a really big deal.   According to the study, average sperm counts have been declining by 2.64 percent per year since the year 2000…   Results showed the mean sperm count fell by 51.6 per cent between 1973 and 2018 across men from all continents.   And concentrations have been falling by 2.64 per cent per year since 2000, quicker than the previous drop of 1.16 per cent annually from 1972.   Average sperm counts have already fallen into “the danger zone”, and if this trend continues average sperm counts will fall by another 50 percent in less than 20 years.   At that point, it is likely that the number of men that are infertile will be far greater than the number of men that are still able to have children.   And that is a recipe for catastrophic population decline.   If you are a man that wishes to remain fertile, one thing that you can do to help yourself is to stop carrying around your phone in your pockets.   Constantly exposing your genitals to microwave radiation is a really bad idea if you want to have kids.   Of course the human race is killing itself in countless other ways as well.   For example, even though we know that glyphosate causes cancer, we keep feeding foods that have been sprayed with it to ourselves and our children on a daily basis.   As a result, approximately 80 percent of the entire U.S. population now has glyphosate in their urine…   Part of a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention program, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey found glyphosate in 1,885 of 2,310 urine samples representative of the population at large. Nearly a third of the samples came from kids, ranging in age from six to 18.   “Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the country, yet until now we had very little data on exposure,” Alexis Temkin, a toxicologist at the Environmental Working Group, said Monday in a statement. “Children in the U.S. are regularly exposed to this cancer-causing weedkiller through the food they eat virtually every day.”   Why would we do this to our kids?   Are we insane?   Another way that we are literally killing ourselves is by our widespread use of plastics that contain cancer-causing chemicals.   When we dispose of a plastic item, it slowly starts breaking down into smaller and smaller pieces. Over time, the pieces become so small that they can barely be seen. There are trillions upon trillions of these “microplastics” in the air, water and soil all over the planet. In fact, researchers have found microplastics wherever they have looked. They have been discovered in the remotest parts of the Earth, they are in the rain that falls from the sky, and they now make up approximately 40 percent of the dust in our homes.   Unfortunately, these microplastics often contain cancer-causing chemicals, and studies have shown that exposure to microplastics can cause “cell death”…   Microplastic particles can cause cell death, cellular wall damage and allergic reactions in humans – at levels ingested by people via their food, a study has warned.   Researchers led from the University of Hull reviewed 17 previous studies on the toxicological impacts of microplastics on human cells in a laboratory setting.   The team then compared the levels of microplastics required to cause cellular damage with those taken in via drinking water, seafood and table salt.   If you get enough plastic in your system, you will die.   And the amount of plastic that we create each year has been rising at an exponential rate.   So this is a health crisis that is only going to get worse.   But even if we were able to eliminate all plastic use immediately, this crisis would continue to escalate for a long time to come, because all of the plastic that we have already discarded will continue to slowly break down for decades.   Sadly, what I have covered in this article is just the tip of the iceberg.   The air that we breathe, the beverages that we drink and the food that we eat are all toxic.   If all that wasn’t enough, there are numerous other ways that we are literally committing societal suicide on a scale of epic proportions.   So the population of the world will not stay at 8 billion for long.   Even if global conditions remain relatively stable, a future of widespread infertility and mass death is ahead.   The clock is ticking for humanity, and the mess that we have created is way too big for us to fix on our own.

What About the Children? - By Hal Lindsey - https://www.hallindsey.com/ww-11-13-2022/   One of the problems with idolatry is that it does not sit still. It grows. Satan always wants more. Eventually, he even demands the children. Deuteronomy 12:31 explains where idol worship leads. “They burn even their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods.” Do you get what that’s saying? Those ancient idol-worshipers burned their own babies alive!   God’s command is firm. In Leviticus 18:21, He said, “You shall not let any of your descendants pass through the fire to Molech.”   In this enlightened 21st century, we would never do anything like that, right? Wrong. We kill kids, too. The difference is that we do it while they are still in the womb.   Until recently, anti-abortion sentiments had been growing in the United States. That may be because improved ultrasounds allow us to look into the faces of the unborn. But in the aftermath of the Supreme Court striking down Roe versus Wade, the tide turned. Marchers, politicians, celebrities, and reporters yelled to women, “They’re taking away your constitutional rights!” And that’s what many of them believed.   I despise it when government encroaches on rights — mine or those of someone else. But abortion was never a constitutional right. The Tenth Amendment to the US Constitution specifically forbids the federal government from taking over areas of law not given to it by the Constitution. And the Constitution does not give the federal government rule over matters such as abortion. It’s one of the many areas that the Constitution leaves up to the states.   But that’s just a legal argument. The abortion issue is more than that. It is moral. It boils down to three questions. Is the fetus alive? Is it a part of the mother like her thumb or her foot? What species is the child?   The unborn child is dependent on the mother, but he or she is not an appendage. The mother’s thumb has the same DNA she has. The unborn is a unique life. His or her DNA is different from the mother’s. If the unborn child were just another part of the mother, then she would have two heads, two hearts, four kidneys, and twenty toes. The unborn is a unique person. The other two answers are even simpler. The unborn baby is alive — and its species is human.   Therefore, abortion kills a unique human being.   If you have ever had an abortion, please don’t feel condemned. If you have turned to Christ, He has completely forgiven you. If you have not, then ask Him and He will forgive. According to Jesus in John 8:36, the person Jesus makes free, is “free indeed.”   Christians and others in the pro-life movement must remember that the answer to abortion is not violence or rage. It is loving persuasion. Listen to what the other side has to say, then present your side with kindness. Be civil. But do not hide from this issue. Tell the truth.   Christians should exhibit the fruit of the Spirit as we attempt to persuade. Galatians 5:22-23 says, “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.”

Daily Jot: Stupidocrisy: Ignoring the gaslit youth - Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com   Exit polls on election day indicated that young people came out in droves to vote. They were all fired up about abortion. That should tell us a lot about the future of this country, and, quite frankly, how we are getting there. Many news outlets reported the shocking display of youth power in the midterm elections. A Tufts University survey of exit polls indicated 27% of young people (ages 18-29) turned out to vote in the 2022 midterm election, the second-highest youth turnout for a midterm election in the past 30 years, and just four percentage points behind the record set in 2018. According to National Election Pool surveys, votes cast by this age group comprised 12% of all votes in the election.   These vote totals are just slightly behind the turnout in 2014 and 2018 when Barack Obama was in office and midterm of Donald Trump. Tufts’ Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement reports, “Young people also continued their trend of strongly backing Democrats by wide margins and having an impact on elections around the country. According to the National Election Pool survey conducted by Edison Research, nationally 63% of youth voted for a Democrat, and 35% voted for a Republican candidate to the U.S. House of Representatives. That closely matches 2020 but represents a slight shift from 2018, when 67% of youth voted for a Democrat and 32% for a Republican.”   Youth ages 18-29 are the only age group in which a strong majority supported Democrats. Abortion was far and away the most important issue of these voters, 44%–more than a 10 percentage point lead over all other age groups. It is projected that youth voters decided the elections in key battleground states such as Nevada, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Wisconsin and Georgia. The balance of the Senate was determined by this age group and Republican Hershel Walker would have won the Georgia Senate seat outright if not for the youth voting for his opponent. These analytics tell us a lot about the past, present and future. Public schools and college campuses are turning out leftist activists.   The normalization of immorality and lack of common sense is having a current impact that will determine the future. Combine this phenomena with young people leaving the church in droves, the opportunities to hold any kind of moral or fiscal accountability are becoming very narrow. Youth programs are not working. The pulpit is weak. Parents need to take control of raising their kids and not leaving it to the public school system, even if one parent must be a stay-at-home. The youth are being gaslit with a Marxist lie. Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.” Right now, it’s cutting the wrong way. Ignoring the analytics on this election and not taking it seriously is, say it with me…Stupidocrisy.   Sources:   #   https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/nov/11/young-voters-us-midterms-democratic-youth?CMP=share_btn_link

Daily Devotion: Welcome God’s Discipline - by Greg Laurie – www.harvest.org   As you endure this divine discipline, remember that God is treating you as his own children. Who ever heard of a child who is never disciplined by its father?  —Hebrews 12:7   When my sons were growing up, it was my right, even my responsibility, to correct them when they did something wrong. I didn’t have that right with someone else’s child (although I wish I did at times). It’s someone’s right and privilege only with their own children. And it’s a right they ought to exercise.   The same is true with God. He corrects and disciplines those who are His.   The writer of the book of Hebrews in the Bible says, “And have you forgotten the encouraging words God spoke to you as his children? He said, ‘My child, don’t make light of the Lord’s discipline, and don’t give up when he corrects you. For the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes each one he accepts as his child” (12:5–6 NLT).   It’s frightening to think that someone could be tremendously exposed to God’s truth yet remain in—and even become strengthened in—unbelief. A perfect example of this is Judas Iscariot, whom Jesus handpicked to be His disciple.   Judas watched as Jesus walked on the water and raised Lazarus from the dead. He witnessed blind men seeing and deaf people hearing. He saw Jesus heal people who had been afflicted with the dreaded disease of leprosy. He saw and heard it all, but his heart became even more hardened. And of his own volition, he betrayed the Lord.   The Bible tells us, “So now we can tell who are children of God and who are children of the devil. Anyone who does not live righteously and does not love other believers does not belong to God” (1 John 3:10 NLT).   Therefore, if you find yourself immediately being disciplined by God when you start to cross a line, if you find that deep guilt sets in when you have sinned against God, then rejoice.   Rejoice over being disciplined and feeling a deep guilt? Absolutely. These are reminders that you are indeed a child of God.
