What newly-leaked DNC emails reveal should TERRIFY Christians
Verse of the Day
1 John 3:13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
Commentary
Relentlessly, day by day the Hard Left is moving against real believers in the Lord. They are like the incoming tide which is always coming, even if you can’t see it. The Democratic Party has sold itself to satan and is totally given over to evil. This party will be the political arm to try and destroy the Church in America. There are serious God-haters and reprobates within the Democrat Party.
I report this assault against the Church on a regular basis, and you can see it coming together before your eyes. At some point, this is going to cross the line to outright persecution, just as the Nazis crossed the line against the Jews.
No matter what happens stay anchored in the Lord Jesus and look for his coming as a bride looks for the groom.
May the Holy God of Israel bless and protect you.
1 John 4:5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
Hard Left/ American Politics
What newly-leaked DNC emails reveal should TERRIFY Christians 07/30/16 It’s becoming clearer by the day that the real goal of the Hard Left is the destruction of Christianity, and of all believers. They have no love for either the Constitution or the American nation because both stand in their way toward fulfilling this goal of eliminating God from society.
“More disturbing revelations about the DNC continue to come to light as hacked emails continue to be published online, exposing the radical left for who they really are for the whole world to see.
One of the latest developments to surface are emails that show the Democratic Party was working with anti-religious freedom groups to get around religious liberty laws that protect our First Amendment right to believe what we want, worship where we want, and live out our beliefs both publicly and privately.
This is truly atrocious.”
EEOC Decides Gadsden Flag Is Racist 08/04/16 This is over the top. Anyone who claims that something is offensive now has the upper hand, and even things with historical significance and pride for Americans suddenly are labeled intolerant or racist.
The article continues to make the point that this type of submission to claims of offense can easily be attached to political or religious views, noting that, “”Workplace harassment law has become a content-based, viewpoint-based speech restriction, including on core political speech.” What better way to shut down free speech altogether, than by subjecting employers and anyone else to damage claims for subjective offenses?
“The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has now taken the position that displaying the Gadsden flag (AKA the “Don’t Tread on Me” flag) constitutes racial harassment.
As UCLA Professor Eugene Volokh points out in The Washington Post, the EEOC decided the case of Shelton D. [pseudonym] v. Brennan two months ago: The complainant, “Sheldon D,” argued that as a black man he had been racially discriminated against because a coworker wore a hat with the Gadsen flag emblazoned on it to work.
What logic did “Sheldon D.” use to make his accusation? That the 18th century designer of the flag, Christopher Gadsden, was a “slave trader & owner of slaves.” He also contended that Gadsden Flag is a “historical indicator of white resentment against blacks stemming largely from the Tea Party.”
At first, the EEOC seems rational, stating, “ … it is clear that the Gadsden Flag originated in the Revolutionary War in a non-racial context. Moreover, it is clear that the flag and its slogan have been used to express various non-racial sentiments, such as when it is used in the modern Tea Party political movement, guns rights activism, patriotic displays, and by the military.”
But with a chance to put the fear of government into the workplace, the EEOC continues, “However, whatever the historic origins and meaning of the symbol, it also has since been sometimes interpreted to convey racially-tinged messages in some contexts. For example, in June 2014, assailants with connections to white supremacist groups draped the bodies of two murdered police officers with the Gadsden flag during their Las Vegas, Nevada shooting spree.”Great. Two nutcases use the Gadsen flag, and suddenly the flag’s historic meaning has no relevance any more?
Wait, it gets even more ridiculous. The EEOC asserts, “Additionally, in 2014, African-American New Haven firefighters complained about the presence of the Gadsden flag in the workplace on the basis that the symbol was racially insensitive.”
On what basis, pray tell? Because some people ascribe nefarious motives to a symbol of revolution against tyranny we have to take them seriously?”
Hard Left in the Military
GENERAL ALLEN’S SERVICE TO AL QAEDA’S PAYMASTERS 08/06/16 General Allen is the perfect example of the type of military leader that Obama wants. Obama can’t handle a real soldier. I was cringing while reading about the mentality of Allen. How do we expect to win anything with generals like this in power and Obama as the Commander-in-Chief!
This is what happens when God moves to judge a nation:
Isaiah 3:1-4 For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water, The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient, The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator. And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
“General Allen had already apologized to the killers for the “desecration” of the Koran by American soldiers who had been destroying copies of the hateful document being used by Taliban prisoners to send notes to each other. “I offer my sincere apologies for any offence this may have caused, to the president of Afghanistan, the government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, and most importantly, to the noble people of Afghanistan,” he had whined.
The “noble people” of Afghanistan were the ones chanting “Death to America” and “Death to Infidels”.
Meanwhile General Allen was telling the American soldiers grieving the loss of their own that the real tragedy was the destruction of the terrorist books. “Now is how we show the Afghan people that as bad as that act was in Bagram, it was unintentional and Americans and ISAF soldiers do not stand for this.”
Then Allen said that he was “proud” to call General Sher Mohammad Karimi “my brother”. Karimi, was the Afghan military strongman who had defended previous attacks on NATO troops and demanded that the American soldiers be put on trial.
“We admit our mistake,” General Allen cringingly continued. “We ask for our forgiveness.”
World War 3
How the US Army Is Getting Ready for the Unthinkable: War with Russia or China 08/06/16 This is an excellent article on the state of the US military and where it is heading. I got a lot of information from this.
World War 3 is on the way, and this is why we should look for the coming of the Lord Jesus.
Isaiah 2:4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
“The Army is developing its weapons, technologies and platforms with a greater emphasis on being ready for great-power, mechanized force-on-force war in order maintain cross-the-board readiness and deter near-peer adversaries from unwanted aggression.
While the service aims to be prepared for any conceivable contingency, to include counterinsurgency, counterterrorism and hybrid-type conflicts, the Army has been shifting its focus from 15-years of counterinsurgency war and pivoting its weapons development toward major-power war.”
Beijing sends bombers, fighter jets on combat patrols over contested S. China Sea 08/06/16 As I report on this almost on a daily basis, I wonder if this is all a bluff. or are we sleepwalking into WW3? This seems not real. The Chinese are both preparing and threatening war, while the mainstream media is failing to report on it.
Is Obama going to challenge China in the South China Sea? I hope not because we don’t want a real war with him as Commander-in-Chief.
Matthew 24:6-8 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.
“China has said it carried out a combat air patrol over contested islands in the South China Sea. In a separate incident, roughly 230 Chinese fishing vessels and Coast Guard ships were spotted near East China Sea islets, triggering an angry response from Japan.
Several Chinese aircraft, including H-6K long-range bombers and Su-30 fighter jets, went on patrol over two contested islands in the South China Sea, Senior Colonel Shen Jinke, a spokesperson for the Air Force said on Saturday, according to the Xinhua news agency.
The warplanes were escorted by Airborne Early Warning Aircraft (AWACS) and flying tankers, which were part of “actual combat training to improve the Air Force’s response to security threats,” the Air Force said.
Prepare for possible ‘war on water’ over South China Sea tensions, Beijing tells citizens
The patrols included “air defense early warning maneuvers, air combat and island patrolling, in a complicated electromagnetic environment,” the Xinhua report said without elaborating on when the mission took place.”
Hard Left – Killing Babies
NOW President: Even If Fetuses Are Children, Women Should Be Allowed To Kill Them 08/04/16 The president of NOW is exhibiting a murdering spirit in acknowledging that children are being killed by abortion but stating that their lives, and deaths, are irrelevant. That spirit easily could be transferred toward us, as this virulence explodes against anyone standing in their way.
But what may be saddest are her remarks farther down in the article, about her own inability to have children and the lives that never were. Could it be that her hostility, coldness and bitterness come from an unacknowledged broken heart?
“Terri O’Neill, feminist professor and president of the National Organization for Women (NOW), said she believes women should have the option to abort their unborn babies even if they are considered children.
In an audio recording obtained by The Daily Wire, O’Neill expressed her disdain for the GOP platform, saying it was “quite clear” that Republicans are anti-women, citing GOP criminalization of abortions as evidence.
The audio featured a radio interview between O’Neill and KTTH’s Jason Rantz at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Philadelphia, where the two discussed whether Republican opposition to abortions is anti-women.
“Why do you think Republicans are against abortion?” Rantz asked O’Neill, to which O’Neill responded she thinks the GOP’s position is driven by religious mandates which state that “women really need to be controlled by the men in their family and that would include controlling the ability to control their own bodies.”
Rantz told O’Neill that as a Republican, he thinks the opposition to abortions “has to do with whether or not a fetus is considered a life.” He urged O’Neill to look at all sides of the perspective instead of simply assuming Republicans hate women.
O’Neill said she thinks it’s unfair that vasectomies are not being criminalized by religious leaders the way abortions have been. She deemed the whole discussion surrounding whether or not the fetus was a life as irrelevant.
“Of course it’s potential life. No woman doesn’t think it’s potential life,” she said. “They need to make these decisions for their families themselves, and the fact that it is potential life does not take away from the fact that it is women’s own ability to control their own bodies.”
Christian Apostasy/ Transgendered
Leading Faith-Based University Embraces Obama Admin’s ‘Transgender’ Mandate 08/07/16 This is a great example of the collapse of the West and Christianity. Without any pressure, this college caved to the Hard Left! They fear man more than God. It is sickening to watch hirelings fold before the reprobates.
Proverbs 28:1 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.
“A prominent faith-based university has quietly embraced the Obama Administration’s mandate on “transgender” students and will allow students to use restrooms and locker rooms of the opposite sex, as it has now withdrawn its exemption from the government policy.
Pepperdine University is a private California school affiliated with the Churches of Christ. In terms of a total number of students, Pepperdine is the largest Church of Christ-affiliated university in the U.S., with a total student body of approximately 7,500.
As a university that identifies itself as Christian, Pepperdine advertises its adherence to biblical morals.
“Founded in the Church of Christ tradition, Pepperdine University proudly upholds Christian values,” the university’s website states. “We believe these values complement and support the pursuit of knowledge.”
Israel/ Jerusalem
Israel’s Sanhedrin takes on U.N. 97/31/16 The UN is moving on an attempt by Palestinians and Jordanians to declare that the Jews have no historical connection to the Temple Mount. Israel is fighting back against this revisionist history. It’s getting serious when the UN is taking up the agenda. For a long time, the official Palestinian party line has promoted this view which has no historical basis, but this movement by the UN is the start of a move to keep Jews from their holiest site.
“Israel’s ancient high court, the Sanhedrin, now reborn, has issued a statement warning the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization not to try to interfere with – or change – the history linked to the Temple Mount.
A report by Breaking Israel News says the U.N. agency wants to adopt a resolution at its current meetings in Istanbul that would declare the Temple Mount, site of the ancient Jewish temples, is “sacred to ‘Muslims only.’”
The proposal comes jointly from Palestinian and Jordanian interests and follows an earlier decision by the agency to call the site in Jerusalem in official papers only by the name created by Muslims – Al-Aqsa.
But Breaking Israel News reported the new plan is “far more radical.”
It said “UNESCO’s very unholy actions” would deny that there is any Jewish link to the location at all.
That prompted the Sanhedrin, which is known in the New Testament for condemning Jesus, to act.
The court, which was disbanded about A.D. 425 and now has been re-created, released a statement warning that the U.N., through its statements and comments, is fomenting global terror.
“The Jewish right to the Temple Mount was established in the Bible, and should therefore be recognized by Christianity and Islam,” the Sanhedrin said in its statement. “In fact, the Jewish claim to Jerusalem is as essential to those religions as it is to Judaism. The biblical connection between the Jews and Jerusalem led to the building of the First Temple by King Solomon, which strengthened our claim to Jerusalem even more.”
Israel
African Kings With Jewish Roots to Convene Royal Gathering in Jerusalem to Praise God of Israel 08/07/16 This is a very interesting article showing that many African kings believe they are of Jewish decent.
“One of the more remarkable incarnations of the prophesied ingathering of the exiles is the discovery of Jewish roots in African tribes. The King of Togo, a country in West Africa, plans to strengthen that Messianic vision by bringing hundreds of African kings to the Western Wall in Jerusalem this Sukkot (Festival of Booths) to sing out their love of the God of Israel.
King Ayi was crowned in 1994 as King of the Ayigbe people of the Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, and Benin. The seat of this Kingdom was in Togo, although most historians confirm it started in Accra, Ghana. He presently lives in exile in the US. In 2002, at the second World Conference of the Counsel of Chiefs and Kings of Africa, King Ayi was crowned by his peers as head of the Organization of Kings and Queens of Africa, in the republic of Benin.
At the following conference in 2005, he announced his desire to bring all 350 African kings to Israel, to recite the ‘Shema’, the Jewish declaration of faith, at the Kotel (the Western Wall in Jerusalem). His announcement was received with overwhelming enthusiasm.”
Psalm 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Isn’t the Church of Christ pretty much like the Presbyterian USA group? I have a friend who went one time to a local Church of Christ assembly and she came away very disappointed. She whispered to me, “I don’t think those people are Christians”. She said she would never go there again. Since the Pepperdine University has sold out to the freak show in the white house, haven’t they pretty much sold their souls?
Jesus really, really needs to come back very soon! He is the only One who can stop this madness!
That is why ‘ism’s’ cannot save anyone.There are many who walk an aisle,belong to a certain denomination,were raised in christian homes,had a mom or dad that believed in Christ..but God has no grandchildren.We must all be born again,’of the Spirit’ of God,as you are.It’s a ‘God thing’,from start to finish.We add nothing to gain or keep salvation,we take nothing from it.As all who come here know..Eternal life is a free gift,because only Jesus could have,[and did],pay our sin debt in full.Churches are made up of living building stones,[us],and congregations have both living and not living stones in them…one day soon,the living and not living stones shall be gone through by the Lord.We have nothing to fear,..but oh,..the lost………
Thank you John. You are always on the cutting edge of what is happening around the world. Our news media is useless, bought and paid for by the elite. It’s good to know what is hoing on spiritually as well do we know how yo pray. May God keep you safe and in the center if His perfect will.
Thanks and God bless you.
