Prayer request:
I have been working with May Bay to help her get everything
in order after David's passing into glory. We have most
everything squared away except social security and they
are just slow. Yesterday coming back from the social
security office Mary's car, a 2015 Hyundai Sonata, broke
down and was towed to the shop this morning. Pray that
it is a minor repair and that it can be fixed quickly.
Meanwhile I will make sure she gets out for groceries
and any other needs until her car is back.
Thanks and God Bless,
Jim

Description of this podcast.
The goal of the Illuminati is to change society and
peoples values, economy and religion in such a way that
they can bring on their superman that they call Antichrist.
This podcast discusses how the Illuminati knows it must
control the news media in order to accomplish their
new world order plan. The news media is now slanted
to convince the masses that they need a global government.
The 10 nation confederacy spoken of in scripture is
identified in this podcast. More scripture is studied
to show how it parallels this globalist plan.

1. TWO-STATE SOLUTION
FOR PALESTINE
by
Mac Dominick
(The
following article is an excerpt from Mac Dominick's
latest book, Cosmic Conflict: Jerusalem vs. Babylon,
available at www.cuttingedge.org )
Everyone in the media
and government has the answer to the conflict between
Israel and the so-called Palestinians. Whether you listen
to the Biden administration, the United Nations, or
even the Jerusalem Post, the answer always seems to
be a plan that incorporates a separate and independent
country carved out of the current geography of Israel
for the Palestinian people. This is commonly referenced
as the 2-State Solution. The sentiment goes something
like this: If the Israelis would just "get over
themselves," give the Palestinians the entire West
Bank, the Gaza Strip, and the city of Jerusalem as their
own country with no ties to Israel, everyone would be
happy and there would be peace in the region.
There are distinct fallacies
associated with this statement:
1. This has already been
done, and it did not work. When the original Mandate
for Palestine was issued in 1919, the land set aside
for the Jewish homeland was not only the land of Israel
west of the Jordan River, but it also included a larger
segment of land east of the Jordan River. This larger
eastern piece of real estate included the Golan Heights
and "Transjordan" east of the Jordan River.
In 1922, the British awarded the area of Transjordan
to the Hashemite Dynasty of Mecca for a separate Arab
state. The thought process was that the Arabs west of
the Jordan would migrate to their own state east of
the river. This land east of the Jordan River became
the Kingdom of Jordan.
In 1948, when the state
of Israel was declared, the Arabs in Israel did not
move to Jordan because (for one reason) Jordan did not
want them. The refugees who crossed the river into Jordan
and the West Bank were placed into refugee camps financed
and supported by the United Nations. Thus, the Arab
state formed in 1922 that was carved out of land originally
designated as a Jewish homeland would not accept as
full citizens the Arabs who evacuated Israel. In effect,
the "Palestinians" had their state, but their
state would not accept them.
2. The late Dr. Chuck
Missler famously said, "The Palestinians never
miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity." (1)
This is not an unusual occurrence in groups of individuals
that are so spiritually blinded with hatred from evil
entities. Dr. Missler made this statement referring
to the number of times that the Palestinians were offered
a state of their own but refused. Examples of these
offers are prolific:
• 1937 --The Peele
Commission in the UK offered to create a separate Arab
state east of the Jordan River. Instead of embracing
the idea, the Jerusalem Grand Mufti, Hajj Amin Husseini
refused to live in a nation adjacent to the Jews. He
wanted a nation for the Arabs, but only if all the Jews
were deported from the region.
• 1947 --The same Mufti refused the United Nations
partition plan. He rejected a 2-State Solution until
the day he died.
• 2000 --Husseini's successor fared no better.
PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat rejected 2-state offers if
there was a Jewish presence in Palestine. His obstinance
was the reason for the failure of the Camp David Summit.
• 2005 --When Israel evacuated Gaza, there was
a golden opportunity for the Palestinians to prove they
could live peaceably in a country of their own. Instead
of embracing this opportunity, the citizens of Gaza
elected the terrorists of Hamas to continue their fight
against Israel.
• 2008 --Prime Minister Ehud Olmert made a sweeping
"land for peace proposal," but Mohammed Abbas
would not accept any 2-State Solution that did not give
the Palestinians all of Jerusalem.
• 2019 -- Donald Trump's Deal of the Century once
again offered a 2-State Solution to Abbas. He would
not even read the contents of the proposal once he was
told the "deal" did not include Jerusalem.
(2)
3. Multiple polls have
been taken in the West Bank and Israel on the attitudes
toward a 2-State Solution. Repeatedly, the results indicate
that neither the Jews in Israel nor the West Bank Palestinians
are ready to accept what politicians around the globe
desire to "shove down their throats." Two
of the later examples from the Gallup organization reveal
the following:
• In December 2022, support for a Palestinian
state alongside Israel was 33% among Palestinians, 34%
among Israeli Jews, and 60% among Israeli Arabs. 82%
of Israeli Jews and 75% of Palestinians believed that
the other side would never accept the existence of their
independent state.
• At the end of October 2023, the two-state solution
had the support of 71.9% of Israeli Arabs and 28.6%
of Israeli Jews. In that same month, according to Gallup,
just 24% of Palestinians supported a two-state solution,
a drop from 59% in 2012. (3)
These survey results indicate that the Arab citizens
of Israel want a separate Arab state alongside Israel,
but a vast majority of the West Bank Palestinians do
not want to share the region with Israel.
These fallacies send 2 strong messages to the world:
1. The Palestinian leadership will not agree to an autonomous
Palestinian nation without the inclusion of Jerusalem.
2. If a Palestinian nation was formed, there would be
no tolerance for a Jewish nation in the region. There
would be no peace in the region and no safety for the
inhabitants of Israel.
In conclusion, this author
finds it amazing that any sane individual would possibly
think a 2-State Solution in the region of Palestine
will work--much less bring peace to the region. The
history of the last 100 years should have taught any
intelligent individual that the Arabs in Palestine have
one goal, and that goal is not to live in peace and
harmony with their neighbors. That goal is the genocide
of the Jews.
The entire world should
listen to the wisdom of these men:
Benjamin Netanyahu: "Countries
that unilaterally recognize Palestinian statehood are
rewarding terror, given that 80 percent of the Palestinian
people support Hamas’s October 7 attack...This
evil must not be given a country.” (4)
Chuck Missler: “It
is time to realize: The God of the universe has put
His name on a particular piece of real estate... He
has chosen a particular parcel of ground on His Own.
It does not belong to the (so-called -ed.) Palestinians;
it does not belong to the UN, it does not even belong
to Israel, except as tenants under the condition of
obedience.
When we muck around in
the Middle East foreign policies, we are poking our
finger in the eye of God. It's His land, and we need
to stand clear of His plans and programs.” (5)
It All Comes Back to Jerusalem
When considering the dilemma
of peace in the Middle East, Jerusalem is the most difficult
problem of the Arab-Israeli conflict. To the Jews, the
city of Jerusalem is the Axis Mundi where the Earth
is closest to Heaven. To the Jews, the Temple Mount
is the holiest place on the face of the Earth. It is
God's Cosmic Mountain. "They will not after 2000
years of wandering and coming back and capturing it
give it over to anyone else." (6)
We know the day will come
when there will be peace in Jerusalem. The Bible is
very clear on that, but as for today, there are several
points to remember:
• Satan hates Jerusalem
and there is more blood to be shed on its streets before
all is reconciled.
• Satan wants God's Holy Mountain for himself.
• Satan is the leader of the evil supernatural
entities from ancient Babylon that will continue to
incite those prone to manipulation until these entities
are defeated at Armageddon.
Once we as Christians
recognize the spiritual aspects of these battles, we
must be sure we are on God's side. Despite their present
state of unbelief, we must support the nation of Israel.
We as Bible-believing Christians must exercise biblical
discernment when encountering the new trends of antisemitism
among those who call themselves "Evangelicals."
We must remember God's words to Abraham:
"I will bless them
that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and
in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."
(Genesis 12:3)

2. Title: Discerning
the signs of the times (Matthew 16:3) by Ron Riffe
Subtitle: Does a tree have to
fall on us to get our attention?
Everywhere we look today—if
we have the spiritual ability to see and recognize it—prophetic
signs relating to the hatred being expressed by individuals
and nations are flashing like red lights on 100 fire
trucks at a five alarm fire! True spirituality and godly
worship of professed believers are becoming “as
scarce as hen’s teeth.” People no longer
dress up in their “Sunday best” to come
into the Holy presence of their God and King. “Just
come as you are” is the order of the day. Many
preachers today stand behind their pulpits to expound
God’s Word dressed in casual attire. And more
often than not, the forthcoming “sermonette”
is a “feel good about yourself” devotional
rather than a wake-up call to godly living. Why am I
making a big deal out of this? My friends, God’s
people are not treating Him with the respect and awe
He rightly deserves. 1 Peter 2:17 says, “Honour
all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the
king.” Those exhortations are directed toward
believers in which God would have us to honor human
kings! How much more should we fear and honor the King
of kings and Lord of lords by showing proper and reverential
respect? There is an old adage that says, “familiarity
breeds contempt.” Untold numbers of believers
today have come to the point of getting entirely too
comfortable with our heavenly Father and it shows in
how they approach Him in worship. Needless to say, He
is not our “buddy” and we sin when we fail
to show the utmost respect and reverence for Him. A
worship service is an opportunity for us to acknowledge
His worth. [The word "worship" has its origins
in Old English, specifically from the word "weorþscipe,"
which combines "weorþ" (meaning worth
or value) and "-scipe" (denoting the state
or condition of).] This is not stressed today and that’s
the whole point! I’m 85 years old and for most
of my life nearly every Christian I knew adhered to
that principle. Even the Boy Scouts of America included
(and still does) reverence as a part of the scout oath:
“On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to
God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help
other people at all times; to keep myself physically
strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. A scout
is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous,
kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and
reverent.” But in these last of the last days,
attitudes among God’s people have deteriorated
greatly—along with church attendance. And this
sad state of affairs is being noticed by articles appearing
on the Internet which I think are generated by ungodly
people who are downright happy about it—one more
of the many “signs of the times.”
What the bible refers
to as “The Day of the Lord” (His end-time
judgment upon the earth) is obviously approaching. Signs
are becoming more and more obvious that some day soon
God is going to instantly remove the Church from this
sin-cursed world and Satan will be given the freedom
to do his worst. So wake up folks!!!
The writer of the article,
Bradley Greer, gives us his personal view of what Gates
had to say about Artificial Intelligence (AI):
“If you thought
Bill Gates’ deadly DNA-altering vaccines were
bad, wait until you hear about what he had to say about
ushering in a new global religion to accommodate artificial
technology. During an appearance on the “Possible”
podcast, co-hosted by LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman,
Gates insisted humanity needs a new type of global religion
to coincide with AI technology. During the unnerving
episode, Gates reflects on “spirituality”
before suggesting that the current religions of the
world will become obsolete.”
“The potential positive
path is so good that it will force us to rethink how
should we should use our time,” Gates said. “You
know, you can almost call it a new religion or a new
philosophy of, okay, how do we stay connected with each
other, not addicted to these things that’ll make
video games look like nothing in terms of the attractiveness
of spending time on them.”
That’s right, Gates
wants us to all begin worshiping machines and reject
God. He appears to suggest that transhumanism and new
virtual worlds would be so alluring, that some sort
of spiritual authority would be needed for this shift.
“So it’s fascinating
that we will. The issues of, you know, disease and enough
food or climate if things go well will largely become
solved problems,” Gates said. “And, you
know, so the next generation does get to say, ‘Okay,
given that some things that were massively in shortage
are now not, how do we take advantage of that?'”
You may wonder why Gates
isn’t reaching for current religions like Christianity
or Catholicism (sic), which still dominate American
faith identification and significant segments of public
life.
That’s right; Gates
is expecting, or hoping, that technology will make Christ
obsolete, allowing elites to manufacture their own God.
They don’t want you to connected to a divine creator
they have no control over; they want you connected to
their own creation. Elsewhere in the interview, Gates
discussed how things like sports will become obsolete
in the new tech era.
“You know, do we
ban AI being used in certain endeavors so that humans
get some — you know, you know, like you don’t
want robots playing baseball, probably,” Gates
said.
“Because they’re,
they’ll be too good. So we’ll, we’ll
keep them off the field. Okay. How broadly would you
go with that?”
“We are so used
to this shortage world that, you know, I, I, I hope
I get to see how we start to rethink the, these deep
meaning questions,” Gates concludes. (End of article)
Then when we add to this
blatant expression of human unbelief the undeniable
facts that there exists today an ungodly cult of death
bent upon murdering babies by abortion upon demand.
That additives are being put in our processed foods
which cause sickness and death. That “vaccines”
are being advertised by governmental agencies exhorting
the public to avail themselves of inoculations which
will keep them from getting sick—when the so-called
vaccines themselves are causing sickness and death.
(Please understand that I am not saying all vaccines
are evil). Wars have been and continue to be instigated
across the globe by nations with the intent to kill
as many people as is possible. Cases in point are the
present conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, along
with a consortium of nations (Iran and her terrorist
surrogates, Hamas and Hezbollah) trying to obliterate
Israel.
These things, in an of
themselves, are terrible—but are almost insignificant
when compared to what the Bible tells us is coming!
The Book of Revelation details a heavenly vision ordained
by God in which the Apostle John was told to write down
all that he saw and heard. If you have never read it,
you really should! Following the first three chapters
addressed to “the seven churches in Asia,”
in which the Lord chided them for their sins and shortcomings,
are horrible things which will come upon the earth during
“The Time of Jacob’s Trouble.” Today
this is generally known as “The Tribulation Period”
in which God will pour out His unmitigated wrath upon
the nation of Israel due to their history of gross unbelief
and murder of their Messiah, Jesus Christ. An analogy
that fits this situation is seeing very black clouds
on the horizon with lightning flashing and very strong
winds blowing—indicating to everyone with common
sense that a storm is coming. So my advice is to stop,
look and listen (the warning posted on all railroad
crossings) to what is taking place across the entire
world. Pay close attention to the news, because if you
have any discernment at all you should realize that
life as we have known it is rapidly vanishing.
The Presidential election
of Donald Trump to his second term in office has, for
a time, seemingly vanquished the specter of what another
four years of Democrat ineptitude and deceit would be
like. He has promised a new “golden age”
for our nation and I for one truly hope he does. However,
I was born at night, but not last night! The man has
made good on prior promises and may do so in the future—but
neither he nor anyone else can stop God’s plans.
Judgment is coming upon Israel in particular and the
rest of the world in general. And when “all the
dust has settled,” the vast majority of humanity
will be gone and only a fraction will be alive to witness
the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. So if this does not
capture your undivided attention, nothing will.
If you are a genuine Christian
possessing the Holy Spirit of God within you, time is
obviously running out and we have been exhorted by God
to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and the salvation
of Israel. And one of the most glaring of the red lights
alluded to at the beginning of this article is the seemingly
existential situation Israel faces at this hour. We
know from the bible that God will not allow them to
be totally exterminated, but even if they defeat their
enemies today—their long range problem will not
go away. It has been foreordained that the apocalyptic
events of Revelation will come upon them. And if our
understanding of prophecy is correct, the Church will
be in heaven while God unleashes His cataclysmic judgments
upon Israel in particular, along with the rest of the
world in general. But in the meantime we need to live
in a manner pleasing to our Lord and Savior and keep
on praying.
