*CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS! – WATCH THAT YOU ARE NOT DECEIVED!

 

Jesus’ famous warning about these last days to watch that we are not deceived was not said to a group of nonbelievers!  It was spoken to his closest disciples!  So obviously it is a great and sincere warning to each of us who have Jesus as our Lord.
 
After watching the behavior of various persons and groups, including people who are believers, over these past few years, I see a real need to point this out and to give some guidance.  Let’s look at these illustrations:
 
LAST INAUGURATION DAY
In the last presidential election, even after election day and in the period leading up to the inauguration day of January 20, there was among some believers a sense that the former president, Donald Trump, had a group of persons supporting him with a lot of power – including military for example – and that just before January 20 he and they would take over the government. They would expose all the evil doing among various politicians in the country and Trump would be put back in as president.
 
 
Now this so impacted some believers that as that day approached, I suddenly received an email from one of our partners who had heard all this.  She wrote to inquire about it and when it was going to happen, if it was going to happen.  She pointed out that the “prophets” were all saying this, prophets well respected by others.  By the word prophets she evidently meant some of the prominent tv and internet persons who call themselves prophets. 
 
 
 
None of this turned out to be true.  These so called prophets – including apparently some fairly well known persons – had gotten their views from who knows where.  Perhaps it was wishful thinking.  I could do little to help her except to tell her to pray about those giving out words she thought prophetic, to inquire of God and to search the Bible to see if their words or what they were doing seemed to fit and be right. 
 
 
 
This was a group of people – perhaps not connected to each other at all – who were living in delusion and deception or who were misleading people willing to believe a hope, a fantasy.  They were people who operate in the Christian world and indeed maybe they are sincere believers.  They themselves may have been deceived.  I want to point out right now, not all deceivers are from the far left, progressive, woke, cancel-culture side of things.  Obviously some are from the conservative and supposedly Christian side.
 
 
 
You can’t just depend on others to tell you what to believe and how to act.  You have to discern yourself, to seek the Lord’s guidance.  This is where being filled with and baptized in the Holy Spirit is such a great help.  The Holy Spirit will guide you in all truth.  He will show you the right path if you are open to him and willing to let him do so, if you will just spend sufficient time with the Lord to hear.
 
 
 
COVID
Today I just saw an email from another follower of our ministry. They were concerned about my reporting in a recent Watchman Warning that virtually all the people in the hospitals today for covid are unvaccinated people.  They said I should stop looking at the media.  Evidently they thought I was being misled. 
 
 
But you too should know if you pay attention to the hard facts, the statistics, that this is indeed true.  Everywhere now from numerous sources - such as government and university groups that keep such records to newspapers and local television stations  to just plain good old local doctors - this truth is known.  The overwhelming number of persons in the hospitals and dying with covid are those that have not been vaccinated.
 
 
 
I know many people from various backgrounds for various reasons were and are greatly concerned about this vaccine – some thought it not tested enough, some for the fear that comes from their ancestors having been used unknowingly in a medical test decades ago, some others believing that those behind the vaccine were part of a conspiracy.  I know that even some people in the medical field have not had the vaccine.
 
 
 
But all this does not change the fact that those sick enough from covid to be in hospitals and those dying of the covid virus are almost entirely unvaccinated people. 
 
 
 
Don’t be deceived.  Deception can come from the conservative side and indeed from some in the “Christian” community too, as I just described above.  It is up to you to decide what to believe and how to go forward.  So many individuals don’t want to have to figure things out, to discern for themselves.  God is here to help you in that, but you have to take the steps, spend the time, do the research.  Or at the least find persons and authorities you truly know are serious believers that God guides you too.  Be suspicious and check out anyone with unusual, unorthodox theories.  Maybe one will be true.  Maybe a lot will not.
 
 
 
AFGHANISTAN
Right now our nation is going through the throes of a complete catastrophe in Afghanistan. The management of the withdrawal has been a nightmare.  Taking out the military before removing the American citizens and the Afghans who had worked with the Americans is almost unfathomable, yet that is what the current American government did.  And in doing so, it showed the world and our giant adversaries on earth like China and Russia and others, just how confused and apparently incompetent the leadership of America now is.
 
 
The behavior of our current president has led many to question just who is running things in the government.  Whoever it is is not doing a good job.  One Washington official just declared he wants to know who is behind the curtain. I’m sure we all would like to.
 
 
 
In any event, this administration and whoever is behind it have indeed sought to deceive the American people with the health and abilities of the current president, but that deception is becoming more evident.  What will happen next in the government?  That I don’t know.  Maybe nothing.  But you yourself must seek not to be deceived.  Live with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
 
 
 
 
 
That’s enough for now.  Obviously we are in the midst of the last days.  Obviously deception is everywhere.   
 
And obviously so many things are happening.  Jesus warned of nation against nation, of earthquakes and pestilence and storms and fearful things and on and on.  Well, we are in the midst of this.
 
In all things keep your eyes on Jesus.  Use the gifts of the Spirit, especially the gift of discernment, to see and understand the truth in situations.  And if you don’t have the Holy Spirit or know what I am talking about, find some spirit filled Christian to pray for you to receive and be baptized with the Holy Spirit.

* SIGN OF THE TIMES: HATRED

Terrible subject.  I don’t like writing about it.  But I tell you this article is worth your reading and rereading and sharing as you can.  Please read it to the end. 

Surely you have noticed the intense, even frightening hatred many leaders in various fields have for the past president and for those who voted for him.
 
We are going to look at this and where we are right now in spiritual timing.
 
Step back a moment.  Remember over your lives, how in past elections for president or governor or other positions, year after year, one person wins and another loses.  And in all that, some are happy and others are disappointed.  Yet in all that virtually all people realized what was a general truth – that while the approach and some details of the opposing candidates might be different, the fundamentals of support for traditional American truths were followed by most.  In general, everyone stood behind the president even if they had not voted for him and even did not like him.
 
That all changed in 2016.  The winner of that presidential election was a multi-billionaire businessman, not a politician.  There was no reason for him to run for president from a personal standpoint.  He could have lived out his life as a multi-billionaire, a pretty nice life indeed in physical terms.  But no, he actually decided to throw himself and his family into the cauldron of American politics and run for office?  Why?  We have to assume he thought he had something to offer the country, to help the country.  That was the general thrust of his campaign.
 
But remember now that from his surprising victory there was instant hatred from many politicians and office holders, a large majority of the media, many entertainers and others.  Real hatred.  They said things that we all knew were not true.  And they refused to believe he was the president.  This went on for four years.  Absolute vitriol.  Stay focused now.  We are looking at this hatred.  That’s the subject. 
 
Remember all the efforts to discredit him.  Remember the obviously made up scandals, the attempt to impeach, on and on.
 
Now we have just passed another presidential election and inauguration.  And the hatred continues.  The former president is out of office.  His staff are out of office.
 
But this incredible hatred goes on.
 
It is not enough for his opponents that he has lost reelection.  No.  Now they apparently want to destroy him forever and thus they went forward with another now failed impeachment effort.  They want to crush the previous president, make it impossible for him to do anything meaningful in the future. 
 
Think for a moment.  From the news reports and actions of leaders you would think only a small number voted for the past president.  But the fact is almost half of those who voted in the 2020 presidential election voted for him, yet those supporting the victor want those people crushed.  You see almost daily some popular entertainer or politician talking about “retraining” them, “reeducating them.”  I saw one entertainer saying their children should be taken away and reeducated. 
 
Hatred.  This is hatred.
 
So what do you think?  Is any of this of God?
 
Hardly.  Here is a scripture that really fits the situation:
 
But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them.– 1 John 2:11 NIV
 
Note the second sentence in this verse: They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them.  
 
Right.  That is what is happening.  And I want you to realize that.  I have written often about deception and delusion in these times, and they are very real.  And surely you see these hating people, I should say blind hating people, are just this.  They can’t see the truth.  They don’t know the truth.  They hate.  They really can’t see the truth.
 
I am reminded of a word God said to me many years ago about such people:  They don’t know because they really don’t know.
 
Or said another way, they don’t know they are deceived because they are deceived.
 
Yes, they hate.  And they are dangerous.
 
They are not of God.  Surely you can see that.
 
We have not seen such absolute raging hatred on such a large scale in America in a long time.  Actually, I would say never in our lifetimes.
 
I remain hopeful they do not represent the majority of Americans.  I do know that true born again, Spirit-filled believers in Jesus can discern the truth so surely they see this hatred for what it is.  I hope that even basically decent people who are not yet believers can tell something is truly wrong here.
 
So there is one last major point I hope you can see: What is behind such blind hatred beyond the deception and delusion and the obvious influence of the evil one?  What is it? 
 
Remember the several presidents from both political parties before this past president? Remember how under their leadership the United States steadily was moving ever more to larger and larger government, more influence of government in individuals’ lives, ever more loss of personal freedoms, more and more movement to an end to borders and open international trade, more and more to that “one-world” future.  But suddenly in the 2016 election an outsider stepped into the presidency and all that stopped.  For four years an outsider kept the progress of the USA toward joining this future “one-world” government at bay.  He stopped the progress of the world to that last days world system that is run eventually by the antichrist.  Now the 2020 election and the new president have the USA back on track to joining this world system.  We are rushing to the time of the antichrist.  That’s the reason for the raging hatred of the past president – he interfered in the progress to the one world government!
 
So we are in the last of the last days.  I have written this so long.  And so much.  I am sure many of you really see and understand that.  I ask you to hold steadfast to your faith.  Keep your eyes on Jesus.  Do whatever you can to get that truth to others around you – by talking with them if possible, by sending material such as this writing, by giving material perhaps such as our WAKE UP AMERICA! book, certainly by praying for God the Father to lead them to a saving knowledge of Jesus.  No one can come to Jesus unless the Father draws that person to Jesus.  The Lord said that himself.
 
May you live in the blessings of God always.

SIGN OF THE TIMES: EXTRAORDINARY EVENTS OF OUR DAY RIGHT NOW, ALL EXAMPLES AND SIGNS OF PROPHECY FULFILLED

How about taking a moment to look at a few illustrations of actual end times events happening in our day.  I have done this before and think it is time again for such a list.  Some of you depending on where you live and what news sources you have to receive from may not know to just what a terrible state your nation has fallen and how the prophecies of the last days are right before our faces – prophecies like deception, delusion, falling away from God, rise in lawlessness, roaring and tossing of the sea, and more.

As you go through this, keep in mind these Biblical warnings among many:

Watch out that you are not deceived. – Luke 21:8 NIV

…many false prophets will appear and deceive people. – Matthew 24:11 NIV

… that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness[a] is revealed, the           man doomed to destruction. – 2 Thessalonians 2:3 NIV

They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness. - 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 NIV

There will be terrible times in the last days.  People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God - having a form of godliness but denying its power.  Have nothing to do with such people.  - 2 Timothy 2:1-5 NIV

After you finish reading the items below, you may want to read some uplifting  scriptures, look at pretty flowers, go outside and listen to the birds singing, focus on whatever is lovely or admirable as Paul encourages (Philippians 4:8).  It is hard to believe we are living in such times and that so many people or events are like those described below.  But they are.

Thank God, we know Jesus and we know the future.

MINNEAPOLIS CITY COUNCIL STUNNED BY RISE IN CRIME – Just a few months ago we all witnessed a civil rights protest suddenly turn into a horrible riot in Minneapolis with destruction and physical violence and more.  The police were clearly held back in enforcing basic laws of society.  The call from demonstrators and supported by the city council members was to defund the police, even get rid of the police and replace them with some type of social workers.

Since then there has been a great upsurge in crime in the city.  And the response of the city council?  They ask where are the police.  Why aren’t they doing their job.  The city council wants to know why the police are not responding to the violence!

OK, I know. You are really incredulous, but that is what the city council is asking.  This is really impossible for a rational person to believe.  But then these people are not rational people.  They are deluded, lost, confused.  Amazing.  It’s like watching the theater of the absurd.

FBI DIRECTOR WRAY HAS WARNED CONGRESS IN PERSON NOT TO IGNORE ANTIFA.  He has confirmed the existence of this anarchist organization.  He has noted that they have arrested several in the country who say “I am Antifa.”  He also has said it is more like a movement than an organization.  Some leading democratic politicians have stated they believe Antifa to be a myth (Congressman Nadler for example).  Despite all we have seen in recent months.  We are living in a very unreal world.

BLACK LIVES MATTER, THE ORGANIZATION - The phrase “black lives matter” is of course true.  But the organization Black Lives Matter is another story altogether.  Founded  by two trained Marxist lesbians and dedicated to pursing clearly non-American positions, this is a dangerous group.  In its mission statement on its website you can read that it does not support the nuclear family concept of raising children (the mother, father, children approach) and that it lends its encouragement to “queers” (their word) and to transgenders.  Leaders of the movement speak absolute violence. All those nice sweet older people in the suburbs of America with Black Lives Matter signs in their yards have no idea what they are supporting.  (Just as the case with the multi-millionaire professional athletes who wear names of popular victims on their hats or shirts - The great black athlete Hershel Walker asks if they know the people whose names they are wearing.  Do they know what these people have done – some are serious criminals).  America is in real trouble if it does not wake up to what this organization really is.  If black lives mattered to this organization, it would have been in Chicago the last few years where every weekend many blacks, mostly young and often children, are shot and often killed by other blacks.  The overwhelming number of black people shot and killed in this country are shot and killed by other blacks.

IN LANCASTER PENNSYLVANIA, POLICE SHOT A MAN CHARGING AT THEM WITH A KNIFE.  Needless to say, crowds rioted.  The police released a video of this to show what had happened, with no effect on the riot.  Eight of the destructive rioters were arrested – 3 black, 5 white.  And then surprise of all surprises.  The court held them on 1 million dollars bail each.  Obviously none could raise that.  There were screams of harsh treatment.  Is this the first bright light of those interested in safety and peace realizing for once that laws must be enforced? (The bail has since been reduced.).

THE BIZARRE RACIAL MIXTURE OF THE VIOLENT DEMONSTRATORS – I do not know if you realize, but many of the truly aggressive, violent demonstrators in the Black Lives Matter protests and other recent demonstrations are younger white people.  It is amazing what our colleges and families have produced in recent years.  In New York six or seven young such white people were arrested by the police, and it was noted that they were children of wealthy parents in NY City and (likely) had no idea at all of what life is like for lower income people.

THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THESE MARXIST GROUPS (BLM AND ANTIFA) AND THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY and maybe other foreign communist groups needs serious investigation.  A recent report showed that one of the co-founders of BLM has teamed up with a Chinese Communist Party supported organization to support and fund lobbying operations in America.

FOX NEWS this week stopped Newt Gingrich in his tracks when he mentioned George Soros’ funding the very liberal progressive prosecutors who are not prosecuting serious violent rioters and are arranging for their release (even those charged with serious crimes).  More than one Fox host shut down all mention of Soros, whose reputed efforts to fund activities damaging to the US are popularly and widely known.  So now we must wonder if this Fox News organization has itself become highly compromised (e.g., truly tainted).

RECORD NUMBER OF HURRICANES and other storms – I am sure you are noticing all the storms hitting the US or missing or going elsewhere.  This past week there were a record number of named storms in the Atlantic.  Already the weather bureau has used up the alphabet in naming stores, and they are now using the Greek alphabet.  All this fits Jesus’ warning about people being frightened by the roaring and tossing of the sea.  Well, that is what the sea is doing.

LOCUSTS – For some time now swarms of locusts have been attacking areas of the world.  The latest presence seems to be in South America and Asia.  Pestilence.  Another sign.

CALIFORNIA VOTES TO REDUCE PENALTIES ON PEDOPHILES.  I know this is impossible for any decent people to even conceive, but yes it is true.  The leaders of California are truly lost, living in delusion and confusion.  It is astounding to consider this action. 

CALIFORNIA FIRES  - Enormous fires continue up and down California as well as the unruly Washington and Oregon states where out of control destructive riots in Seattle and Portland were and have been allowed to continue for long periods.   The smoke from the monster fires now hangs even over the East Coast and areas like NYC and Washington DC.  In Western cities at times daylight hours look like night or have strange colors.

I saw a comment from California wondering why God is allowing these fires.  I don’t know what God is doing in California or if he has allowed these fires in some judgmental way.  But if that is so, it is not hard to imagine why.

THE US ATTORNEY GENERAL MENTIONED THAT THE US IS CLOSE TO MOB RULE.  In a related report, it was also noted that the Justice Department had investigated the mayor of Seattle for prosecution, for she surely did not fulfill her duties as city leader to protect the safety of the citizens or the physical buildings and companies in the city.  We must wonder why the Justice Department has not investigated more such politicians and why it has not acted on that.

THE FIRM OF THE HUSBAND OF KAMALA HARRIS, the democratic candidate for vice president, represents Chinese Communist Party corporations and employs ex-CCP officials

IN THE LOS ANGELES AREA, A MAN WALKED UP TO A PATROL CAR AND SHOT TWO POLICEMEN IN THE HEAD.  Both thank God survived.  There is even a video of this horrible event.  But as you may know, while and after this happened, some bystanders shouted and celebrated and did nothing to help them.  Then a crowd of these people went to the hospital where they had been taken and blocked the entrance to the emergency room.  They stood outside and cheered : “I hope the _____ die.”  Yes, these really are human beings although you may not think so.  They did not behave that way.  Yes, they are physical people.  But they are totally deluded, lost, confused, and obviously spiritually lost.

ISRAEL – UNITED ARAB EMIRATES AND BAHRAIN PEACE ACCORDS – The US at the White House hosted the signing of a peace agreement between Israel and the UAE and Bahrain.  This is certainly and obviously a step in peace between the arab countries of the Middle East and Israel.  In their signing, the UAE and Bahrain join Egypt and Jordan who signed such agreements many years ago.  Some wonder if this is leading up to the peace agreement in Daniel 9:27, the signing of which leads the Israelis to believe they are living in true peace and to let down their guard, to live in unwalled villages as noted in Ezekiel 38. Such an eventual event will be the beginning of the Tribulation.  We do not know when that will of course happen, for not all Arab countries have signed on and surely Israelis do not think they are living in true peace.  But also surely we are moving toward that moment.

CORONAVIRUS – You might wonder why I haven’t already written about this worldwide scourge and horror – about the terrible disease and the truths and lies of that, about the outrageous behavior of some politicians and governors and national leaders using this disease for political purposes, about the whole world being locked down, about the notorious behavior of the media in scaring people so, about   the great question of whether this was the right thing to do, about the very likely intentional actions of the Chinese government in the development of this disease and its getting loose on the world .  I haven’t written of that here because I’ve written so much before.  And because I did not want you all to get distracted from all else that is happening in these last days in line with prophesy.  Surely coronavirus is one of the great horrors and also great scandals in the history of humankind.  Truth has been the greatest victim of this pandemic.

NOW THAT YOU HAVE READ ALL THIS, CONSIDER SHARING IT ESPECIALLY WITH THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW THE TIMES THEY ARE LIVING IN OR THE IMMINENT RETURN OF JESUS.  PERHAPS THESE POINTS WILL SHOCK THEM INTO BEING OPEN TO LISTEN TO YOU TELL THEM ABOUT ALL THAT AND ESPECIALLY ABOUT JESUS AND THE GOSPEL.
