Ramblings

 All over the internet these days, you constantly hear younger folks and hoary old white women screeching about how Trump and the Republicans are 'fascists'. How Trump won't leave office at the end of his term, how he's this evil bugaboo, etc. For the younger crowd, I feel sorrow, as they've been indoctrinated and lied to about fascism. Worse, they've been fed the lies since they were small children, along with the evils of transgernderism and all the other perversions of Leftists. They were never told the truth about the evils of Marxism/Socialism/Communism. Equality is their buzzword. They know nothing of the fallen Nature of man, or that the isms they're so enamored of lead to 2 classes: those at the top who never want for anything, and the masses, who only get the dregs. They've been told that the US invented slavery, as well as every other ill the planet suffers. The really sad thing is, once someone has been exposed to the evils of Leftism for a lo...

 So many see what's going on in the Middle East as prophecy being fulfilled. They are almost giddy at the thought. They can't even entertain the possibility that they are wrong. The slaughter happening there doesn't seem to register with them. It's pretty sad, really. They have taken Biblical prophecy written to people of another time and extrapolated it to this time. Many of them have been steeped in this kind of thinking their entire lives, never having even looked at other possibilities. Not once did they think they, and their teachers, might be wrong.  Revelation was not written to us. Nor was Daniel, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, or any of the other prophets. They were written to the people of their time, in their context. We can learn from them, we can strive to avoid the traps and snares those people fell into, but they were not written TO us. They were passed on to us as a warning, a lesson. We are not doing well at learning the lesson. Neither have the Jews learned. They ...

 "Ever since Christ's ascension, world history has been a mopping-up operation. The Church Militant, so long as she is The Church Obedient, will be The Church Triumphant as well." The Days of Vengeance by David Chilton, pg. 324. The Church hasn't been any of these for at least 70 years. She started fading after WWII, as people doubted God after all the violence and horror of war. Many had their faith strengthened by the war, but it seems like many more began doubting. This slow decline went on for some time, but gained steam in the late 60's. Since then, much of the Church no longer warns of sin and judgment. Rather, she seems to want the World to like her, to see her as 'nice'. She refuses to warn against homosexuality, lust, greed, and all forms of perversion and evil. She says, "We need to meet people where they are." No. You need to call them from where they are, in the muck and mire of impending eternal death, call them to rise to eternal li...

  Disclaimer : My thoughts on Iran are not informed by a deep knowledge of the Nation or Geopolitics. Just the opinions of what I've seen and read. Take it for what it is. Iran. This sucks. We didn't need another war. I don't know what the thought processes are of those at the top, whether Trump was put in a bad position by Israel, or if he has a good reason we don't know about. As for Israel, it wouldn't be the first time they put us in a position to have to support them or watch the Middle East go to complete hell. I am NOT a Zionist. I recognize Israel's right to exist, but it is a Nation like any other. They are not without issues of their own, and they are not always right. They do bad things like any other Nation. What I do know is that this conflict will, in my opinion, come to our shores. Our border has been wide open for so long that I do believe there are 'sleeper-cells' here, and that sooner or later, they'll strike.  Trump. I saw where ...

 Leftism is evil. You can't hate it enough. It is perverse and regressive. It is satanic. It twists the minds of its adherents and poisons them with hate. The longer one is a leftist, the more their conscience is seared. Look at what it's done to this Nation. Look at who and what Leftists defend. There is no talking to many of them, as they are so invested in it that facts and reality will mean absolutely NOTHING to them. They are part of the so-called 'tolerant and virtuous' crowd. It's everything to their self-image, and they will try to destroy anything that threatens it. Again, look at their protests, what they destroy, who they hate, and who they try to defend.  We the People are partly to blame for this, as we were so busy working and living that we didn't pay attention to the creep of evil seeping into the Education system, the Media, Medicine, and every other area of life. Now it will take decades to root it out, IF it can be rooted out. I seriously don...

 As we come into another celebration of the birth of the Messiah, it is well to consider that He alone is the hope of Israel. We celebrate it in December, but I've seen a credible theory posit that he was actually born in September. It matters not. He was truly born, and He brought us the Good News of the Gospel, the way to be reconciled to God, for Jew and Gentile alike. Israel was in rebellion against God when He came, and He warned them of their coming destruction. Israel is STILL in rebellion against God. Until Israel repents and turns to their one true Savior, they remain under judgment.  There is one Israel of God, comprised of Jews and Gentiles alike, who serve the one true Messiah of God, Jesus. Read Romans. Paul lays it all out throughout that book. This is not replacement theology. Paul explains it well; it's fallen man that wants to deny or pervert its meaning. Modern Israel is no different than any other unbelieving Nation. In fact, the World will experience consta...
