“UN”… UNNATURAL, UNHOLY, & UNDER THE INFLUENCE

Isaiah 9:16: “For the leaders of this people cause them to err, and they that are led by them are destroyed.”

The description well defined by the majority but the true manifestation of it is now glaring as unnatural positions are being taken by the governing powers that be.

Attitudes that are not only unnatural but completely illogical and ludicrous, attitudes that can only be explained by demonic influence over those who hold power and positions.

And those who scream out their doctrines of hate guised as charity and idiocies are snared by that same demonic force.

I watch in both shock and amazement that these people can stand by their arguments with straight faces and feigned outrage over Israel’s determination to avenge and defend itself.

It is sickening to continue to hear the cries of foul by the UN and other leaders as they demand ceasefires and concessions to terrorists while hostages, beautiful human beings, wounded, abused, starved, treated as subhuman, a precious child and a beautiful baby whose smile should melt any heart, are being held captive and suffering that only God could know and yet they never once bother to demand their release.

No, they are much too concerned with keeping their homeboys happy by playing the true advocate of the true devil and the majority goes right along for the ride, repeating and clinging to their options,

Defending the rights of crackpots who transport and hold dead bodies hostage also.

Who does these things? The same who is pulling all the strings.

Jude 1:9: “Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses…”

That’s who does that sort of thing, same devil, same demonic influence at work.

Not only them but the people who are held in China, North Korea, and untold numbers persecuted and trafficked, and do they care?

It’s the entire bloody world, can they not do better? Can they not free people?

Where is human concern, compassion, or common decency toward other humans for the sake of being human?

As they have refused to believe, while others have turned from the truth, they have become only puppets to their true master.

2 Corinthians 4:4: “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not…”

They cannot even think for themselves and will only do and continue to do the will of their master, the devil, who has control of not only the minds but the souls of those who have given themselves over to him and his demonic realm for power, prestige, and wealth, all that one day will burn with them in eternal torment.

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

For men (humans) shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 

WITHOUT natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 

Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

Having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers (various) lusts,

Ever learning, and never being able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.” 2 Timothy 3:1-8

We all know and understand that this was written to us, well in advance so that we could discern the times in which we would find ourselves and we can easily go through each horrendous adjective that describes the inhabitants of the end times and quite clearly see each and every flaw in our society with absolute clarity.

It can also be traced back, taking it generation by generation seeing the normalization of absolute perversion and Godliness festering into hatred and detest for all that is Holy and just.

Ephesians 6:12:”For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

They have aligned themselves perfectly with the end time prophecies of those who will pledge allegiance to the beast and anti-Christ.

It was truly a shock to see how fast the escalation has been as specific nations end time roles are becoming evident as South Africa has chosen the wrong team, as we were enlightened in our verse above that leaders can and do lead their people in the wrong direction.

Jeremiah 49:12: For thus saith the LORD; Behold, they whose judgment was NOT to drink of the cup HAVE assuredly drunken; and art thou he that shall go unpunished? thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink of it.”

I do hope this has been a little food for thought today as we continue to watch it all unfold, increasingly swift as it takes us to that day.

“Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound the alarm in MY holy mountain: let ALL the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;

A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath NOT ever be the like, NEITHER shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.

A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a fire bureth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness, yea, and nothing shall scape them.

The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.

Like the noises of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.

Before their face the people shall be much pained (horrified at the sight) all faces shall gather blackness.

They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:

Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall NOT be wounded.

They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall; they shall climb upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.

The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:

And the LORD shall utter HIS voice before HIS army: for his camp is very great: for HE IS strong that executeh HIS word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?

Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:

And rend (tear open) your heart and not your garments and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteh him of the evil.

Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?

Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:

Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breast: let the bride forth go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.

Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, SPARE thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to the reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?

Then will the LORD be jealous for HIS LAND, and pity his people.

Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen.

But I WILL remove far off from you the northern army and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, and his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.

Fear not, O Land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.

Be NOT afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness so spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.

Be glad then, ye children of ZION, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the later rain in the first month.

And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil.

And I will RESTORE to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar and the palmerworm, my great army with I sent among you.

And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.

And ye shall know that I AM in the midst of ISRAEL, and that I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.

And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out of my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and daughters shall prophecy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.

And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

And I WILL shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

The sun SHALL be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and the remnant whom the LORD shall call.” Joel 3

One big aspect to that passage is that is shows the need for repentance from the priests to the ministers, to the congregation and God shows us his gentleness and kindness in the promise of the pouring out but in his blessing and a double blessing at that with the former and later rain being given simultaneously and in a beautiful, often overlooked by many, display of gentleness and sovereignty, even the animals are promised goodness and told to not be afraid.

Please continue to pray for Israel and all the enslaved and captive the world over all those who will be saved, all those who are trying their best to hang on to their faith during this time.

Stay vigilant, stay focused and let your trust be in Jesus and in Him alone.

I know some of it may seem repetitive, but it applies when it applies, and we need to always be aware of the time.

Matthew 10:16:” Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.”

Peace & love till next time! Thanks for reading!

“As the Pages of History Yellow.”

Proverbs 24:3-12:”Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:

And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.

For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.

Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.

He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.

The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.

If thou faint in the day of thy adversity, thy strength is small.

IF THOU FORBEAR (abstain or refrain from) TO DELIVER THEM THAT ARE DRAWN UNTO DEATH, AND THOSE THAT ARE READY TO BE SLAIN;

IF THOU SAYEST, BEHOLD, WE KNEW IT NOT (didn’t know); DOTH NOT HE THAT PONDERETH THE HEART CONSIDER IT? AND HE THAT KEEPETH THY SOUL, DOTH NOT HE KNOW IT? AND SHALL NOT HE RENDER TO EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS WORKS? 

Just off the cuff, please know that I am not shouting, my underline option seems to have transported itself somewhere deep into the unknown of cyberworld, and even with bold type and italic, I still really, really wanted and needed for you to dig these passages.

I remember as many of you do, the days when being an American could be something to take pride in, not false arrogant pride, but joy in knowing that our country stood for something and that something was freedom, and hope.

And while it was never, ever perfect as no earthly nation will ever be.

And with the influx of greedy, evil barbarians that flooded in shortly after the Puritans, at the inception of America, we know that many horrors also came, their horrendous treatment of the Indians, as their land was stolen, forcibly, violently taken away from them as they were marched off, many to their deaths, to be hidden away on reservations, as the powers of that day thought that in doing so they could destroy a people and a culture from existence.

That’s a subject we could deal with for multiple posts. And we will never forget the horrors and atrocities of slavery.

Quite honestly, all these sickening Pro-Hamas/ Pro-Palestinian rallies are no different.

These people are so reminiscent of the news clips of old which show the cross burnings and marches of the KKK and the belligerent, angry, hate-filled spewing’s of the white supremacists and the blood thirst and sadistic rhetoric of the segregationists.

As I said before, all through time, different era, different bodies possessed by the same old devils.

So as all nations have had their evil ones to contend with, once upon a time, American had laws and decency and passed new laws to deal with such and through it all, there were still decent, compassionate people who fought on the side of truth, many giving their own lives to make a better life for others.

Soldiers through the ages fighting for the causes of right, many wounded, often left disabled and their minds and souls forever changed, and many again, giving the ultimate sacrifice because they believed something so much greater than themselves.

Through the heartache, turmoil, and idiocy of so many, such as the protests during the Vietnam war, when so many, with the average age being nineteen years old, were sent to fight in a conflict that they had never asked for, only to return from absolute hell on earth to be met, not with a hero’s welcome, but with screams of “Baby Killer”, poison flowing from lips of those who had never fought for anything in their lives.

I have wondered through much heartache, at the unimaginable sorrow that will be felt by those hostages that have been released, having watched their families and friends be murdered, held captive by demonic beasts, when they discover that a majority of the world laughed and rejoiced in their pain and that there were thousands calling for their complete destruction.

And as we have all seen footage over the years of the concentration camps and piles of naked, Jewish bodies from the Holocaust and our government vowed “Never Again!”

We had those precious moments when Red, White, and Blue stood for something, as citizens we often did not agree with everything, but we could usually always agree that we were blessed to be citizens of a country where we could express our opinions without fear of being imprisoned or slaughtered.

We were free to pursue happiness without having to give account for our ever move. We were confident that if trouble arose, we would have friends and neighbors that would have our backs. We were free to try to bring about change for the truth and decency.

But now, as we watch our government cower as protesters scream their hatred flying their flags in our country, citizens having to fear in their own homeland. Listening to Blinken and Biden cower before the world, before Hamas and all the terrorists as they pressure Israel to lay down arms and in effect cease to be a nation and not even bother to avenge the slaughter of their people.

And it is absolute cowardice. It really drives the point home concerning how easy it will be for the anti-Christ to be given the power and allegiance of the nations. It is not taken; they pledge their allegiance to him.

It is not just America, it seems when it comes to the massacre, all nations would rather side with the enemy, in feigned hope of not having to fight them.

I was especially sickened when the rapes and slaughters were finally mentioned.

Oh, I suppose they hadn’t noticed what had been done and was being done.

Funny, I saw it on the news, on October 7th, as the whole world did, one clip in particular, a young lady being pulled from the back a vehicle, her pants soaked with blood, her face bloody, being pulled by hair to be shoved in to back of that vehicle.

OH BUT NO, they hadn’t noticed that!

Horror stories that played out in real life, things so horrifying, women being murdered during these rapes. Dismembered and carried about as some sort of sick trophy for Palestine. Videos posted to praise the evil and fuel for the sicked appetites of snuff films enthusiasts.

So disgusting that the whole world could just view what she and so many others went through. Another symptom of downfall of humanity, anything can be posted, no concern or common decency or respect for anyone or anyone’s family.

All this so reminiscent of the story of the murdered concubine from the Book of Judges, you may be unfamiliar with it, it doesn’t make sermon material very often, actually I have never heard it mentioned, even though it is definitely needed, if you like, you can read it here.

No, guess they hadn’t noticed, after all it was only a female, no matter our nationality, our age, whatever, we are indispensable right?

Who cares if we are raped, slaughtered, sold or tortured?

Well, I tell ya, I know one who really does care, and the day is coming that all the precious blood of our sisters the world over will be avenged.

We do not know the exact time, as ACTS 1:7 states: “And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.“

But we do know from Bible prophecy that these events are only in hasting of that day.

Not to even mention the treatment of children and burning babies alive and sadistic cruelty that defy any human logic, psychological cruelty to the victims and the hostages because killing is not enough for them, they want to destroy their very souls and destroys the souls of all who witness it.

And when the world saw and became aware of what had taken place, the leaders came with great lip service, while their actions spoke much different words.

As our verse stated, they have done nothing, absolutely nothing, to help them.

I couldn’t help but notice the use of the word “forebear”, bringing back to mind America abstaining from the recent UN vote and in doing nothing, they have chosen their path.

As we look back today at atrocities in our own history committed in times past with absolute disbelief, the history yet to be told will tell a most shameful and disgraceful tale.

What history that is left for America, the history that will go down in the annals of time, will not be a glowing tribute to the Red, White, and Blue.

The colors that we have so proudly waved symbolic of Valor, Purity, Perserverance, and Justice.

Values that we once pledged to attain, cherish, and protect have now taken on a strange yellow sheen; the yellowing brought about by the lack of backbone and spine in those who have been elected to lead.

That cowardice in failing to speak out and fight for those who need us most, those who are persecuted by the entire bloody world, and allowing others to come onto our soil and persecute those who have sought refuge here for generations, without any fear of prosecution, only proves to the entire world that we would not defend our own.

That yellow is going to be very, very hard to wash off.

To reiterate:

“IF THOU FORBEAR (abstain or refrain from) TO DELIVER THEM THAT ARE DRAWN UNTO DEATH, AND THOSE THAT ARE READY TO BE SLAIN;

IF THOU SAYEST, BEHOLD, WE KNEW IT NOT (didn’t know); DOTH NOT HE THAT PONDERETH THE HEART CONSIDER IT? AND HE THAT KEEPETH THY SOUL, DOTH NOT HE KNOW IT? AND SHALL NOT HE RENDER TO EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS WORKS? 

As a nation, as a world we will be receive as we have given and considering the advice we have been handing to Israel and the dance with the devil we have performed with terrorist nations, it is safe to assume that as a nation we are in for a world of hurt.

And we will be shown the same mercy, and compassion that we have shown others of the world, and I can you tell you, when it comes to standing with Israel, it sure hasn’t been much.

As always, Blessing and Peace till next time, ever praying, “Even So, Come Lord Jesus.”
