Expecting the Resurrection

As Christians we live in a Good Friday type of world.  You know a world where chaos, fears and evil things happen on a regular basis.  Sometimes we as Christians ask why?  Why do bad things happen to good people, especially Christians.  The simple answer is, I don’t know.  However the deeper and more relevant answer is that we live in a Friday type world.  You know that type of day, sickness happens, jobs are lost, fears attack us, we long for peace but it escapes us.  That is a Friday world, where sin is everywhere.   When Adam sinned he brought an inherent sin nature that invaded every person’s DNA.  Sin is a part of the “Friday World.”  Prayers are offered, but the answer never comes.  That is the kind of world we all live in.

We call it Good Friday because Jesus died for our sins, but the reality is there wasn’t much good about that day.  The night before in the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus had made peace with His imminent death for you and I.  After all, that is the reason for His incarnation and birth.  As He stood before Pilate he carried the burdens of the world, literally.  He bore our sins, each and everyone one of them.  You see the Jews didn’t kill Him, the Romans didn’t kill Him.  He died willingly for us.   (I Corinthians 5:21) He who knew no sin, became sin for us.”That was the reason He came to earth.  Jesus was born to die a substitutionary death for mankind.  (John 3:16) “For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son.”

Paul lived in that kind of “Friday world,” beatings, riots and fear of his life.  He made a profound statement when he said if all we have is this world, we are most pitiful. 

Our hope in Jesus gives us citizenship in Heaven.  This isn’t my world, this isn’t my home, I have a home in Heaven.  Bought and paid for by the most precious element on earth.  The Blood of Jesus!

America Is Divided By Sin Not Politics

The devil saw my head down and he thought he won, until I said Amen!

There is division in America.  That is a fact, no one can doubt that premise.  However it is not by politics, but by sin. The division comes from two opposing world views.  One is a Biblical worldview and the other is a secular humanist worldview.  That is the  red line in the sand.  Neither side will give in.  I will never compromise my Biblical Moral Worldview.  

 America has a rich tradition of being a nation built on traditional family values, Judeo-Christian values.  God ordained us to spread the Gospel around the world and we did that by sending missionaries to far off distant counties.  Our mandate came through a prophecy by  Vicar Robert Hunt (1586-1608) the first Anglican chaplain of the Jamestown expedition and is renowned for a 1607 prayer and prophecy dedicating the new American land to God. Upon landing at Cape Henry, Hunt planted a seven-foot cross and “declared a covenant in the Gospel would go forth from that shore to the entire world”.  Furthermore he stated “we should focus on the mandate to raise up Godly generations after us”.

I will say,  we tried.  The United States experienced three or four Great Spiritual Awakenings:

First Great Awakening (1730s–1740s): Led by figures like Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield, this period focused on personal conviction, redemption, and a shift away from traditional, formal religion.

Second Great Awakening (1790s–1840s): Characterized by camp meetings and the rise of itinerant preachers like Charles Finney, it resulted in significant church growth and reform movements.

Third Great Awakening (1857–1859): Often called the “Businessmen’s Revival,” this movement began with prayer meetings in New York City during a financial crisis and spread nationwide.

Fourth Great Awakening (Late 1960s–early 1970s): Debated by some, this wave is often linked to the “Jesus Movement” and rapid growth in conservative denominations

What America needs is not a new or reformed political party, but another great Spiritual awakening.  Our government as it is now is a corrupt “ruling class” entity that does whatever it desires.  Two passages in the Bible give us an insight into how the Almighty looks at us.  It’s not a pretty sight.  One thing I know is that God is not mocked, we will reap what we sow.

1 Timothy1:9-10

“knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine,”

Take a look again at some phrases:

  • murders; abortion and rage of violence 
  • fornicators; our sex craved society
  • sodomites; the entire gender mafia
  • kidnappers; sex slaves
  • liars; our government hides and lies constantly
  • perjurers; truth has fallen in the street

Read Isaiah 59:1-10: hands defiled with blood, feet that run to evil, no justice, lack of truth, and our thoughts are continually on evil and iniquities. 

We need an awakening, repentance and a turning from the evil that permeates our society.  The division is caused not by political, but spiritual warfare that divides us more than even a civilian war based on political ideology.  We need intercessors more than candidates.  We need hungry hearts and souls that long after the Lord.  Humility filled with a desire for the things of God.  Turning from evil and pushing into the holy place where God resides.

Unfortunately the majority of the American church is living in a daze of the prosperity gospel, feeling they have need of nothing.  Bills are paid, money in the bank, but all the while Jesus is knocking on the door of our hearts desiring a deeper relationship with His church.

We need the Ekklesia to become the remnant that pursues the holiness of God more than the pleasures of the world.  Jesus is the only solution for a deprived world.  He is our only hope.  The world is on a downward path, the Bible tells us for a fact that a spirit of anti-christ will invade the last days.  We are there now.

Let me be clear, I am not saying we shouldn’t be involved with politics.  We most definitely should.  We as Christian Conservatives vote our Biblical values.  It is our duty and I believe a mandate from the Lord.  Look through the slick commercials and line up your candidate with the Word of God.  What I am saying is this…we need a “Great Awakening” to save this country.  

Spiritual warfare is real and we must win the spiritual war first and then the awakening will come.  Lord Jesus raise up holy intercessors in this time..  You were born for such a time as this.

Biden-Era CIA Analysis Linked ‘Motherhood And Homemaking’ To ‘Violent Extremism’ – Harbinger’s Daily

After the American public witnessed the Department of Justice target school board parents during President Joe Biden’s term, the DOJ lawyers might have been outdone by secretive analysts at the CIA and their hated target: Stay-at-home moms and their organic gardens.

WOW! Truth Bomb

Rare moment of truth at the UN from brave Kuwaiti dissident Jasem Aljuraid, invited by UN Watch:

Mr. Chair,

I heard the term “colonizers.” But who are the real colonizers? A Jewish Kingdom ruled in Judea for a thousand years. We, the Arabs, took this land.

Who Arabized Egyptians, Phoenicians, Persians and Amazighs? It was us, the Arabs.

So why does the council enshrine a lie by keeping a permanent agenda item on Palestine, while ignoring the indigenous heart of Israel returning home?

Let us be clear about who is actually defending our sovereignty. Today, Israel is a fighter for peaceful nations, freeing Gaza from Hamas and saving Iranians from the Islamic Republic.

What Israel is doing to the IRGC — stopping a genocidal regime from acquiring nuclear weapons — is a gift to humanity.

There are 57 Islamic countries and only one Jewish state, Israel. Despite the ongoing hateful desire to eliminate it, Israel has not only survived, it has thrived.

I don’t believe in miracles, but this is one.

So I ask the UN: when will you end the ritual of condemning Israel?

Is it not time, instead, to learn from Israel? How to defeat terror, defend free societies, and pursue peace.

Thank you.

(UN Watch)

I hope he survives, however there are more Arab states that privately understand this reality. Iran is not a friend of anyone except terror groups. Saudi Arabia and other somewhat “moderate” states understand Israel has no intention in their destruction. They do fear Iran as witnessed by their missile and drone attacks. Rh

Trump Statement

President Trump:

I am pleased to report that the United States of America and the country of Iran have had, over the last two days, very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East. Based on the tenor and tone of these in-depth, detailed, and constructive conversations, which will continue throughout the week, I have instructed the Department of War to postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five-day period, subject to the success of the ongoing meetings and discussions.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

President Donald J. Trump

Interesting, who blinks first?  Obviously Iran needs a deal regardless of what they may put out for public consumption.  Trump has declared to destroy oil infrastructure soon.  Don’t think Trump is bluffing, but obviously complete and total surrender with the US getting all the processed uranium out of Iran might just stop this war.  America has to make sure Iran is defeated and can not develop more nuclear material or work on ballistic missiles.  That should be a given.

Following Trump’s announcement of talks, markets reacted immediately. Oil prices dropped by 8%, but futures rose by 2-3%.

The back and forth continues. Please Trump don’t stop until you have all the objectives accomplished,  Don’t Bush this wart, by stopping too soon and have issues in the future!

  • Fars News Agency quotes an Iranian source: “There are no direct or indirect negotiations with Trump. He backed down after hearing our threats.”  Not sure if true or not, but Iran is notorious for lying about talks and negotiations.  So take it for what it is.
  • Reuters: Washington updated Israel on its talks with Tehran, and Israel is likely expected to follow the US and suspend any attacks on power plants and energy infrastructure in Iran.

Trump on Iran

  • “Well, they’re gonna have to get themselves better public relations people. We’ve had very strong talks. Mr Witkoff and Kushner had them. They went perfectly.” – Trump on Iran denying that any talks happened.
  • Trump: “If we have a deal with Iran, we will go down to the nuclear facilities and take the uranium ourselves”. 
  • We want no enrichment, and we also want the enriched uranium.
  • If this happens, it is a great start for Iran to build itself back.
  • We want the nuclear dust. We’re going to want that, and I think we’re going to get that. 
  • We’ve agreed to that—yeah, we’re going to; we’ve agreed to that.

Well there you have, it if Trump is telling the truth he just doubled down on his requirements to end the war.  I have no reason to doubt him, but….remember Iran is a bunch of lying extremists.  Their religion allows them to lie for the greater good of Islam.  Stay tuned.  Rh

Essential Liberty

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” Benjamin Franklin.

Do they know what they are doing??  Yes

Good morning and welcome to a rather long, I fear, and disjointed effort to dislodge my thoughts that keep burrowing in my head. I want to share with you some of what is going on that to be quite honest are (shocking, unbelievable).  The smartest of the smartest, or at least those who think they are, have charted this world on a course of destruction.  Whether it be AI or a call for a one world government, with one distinct person in charge, opening borders that destroy nation pride and identity.  Planned destruction?  I think so.  

Let me explain, greed and a lust for power have motivated people all the way back into Bible days. But today the lust for control is growing and becoming an almost daily occurrence in our news.  Take for example the octogenarians that waddle into the Senate and grace our hollowed halls of government, they just can’t turn loose of power.  The Bible says that pride goes before a fall, and at times they do fall, literally.  There seems to be more walkers and handicap parking in Congress than brains. The spectacle is embarrassing.  Go home, be with your family.  Cognitive test anyone??

They, whoever they may be, we know the usual suspects, or culprits if you will. The world economic forum, club of Rome, the rulers and potentates of several European countries, even looking into our own country in the Congress, which has senators and representatives that have allowed a beginning destruction of not only our values, but also of our morality.  Desiring  the destruction of our identity of who the United States of America truly is. What might seem to be deception and disinformation or uncertainty is actually a playbook for control and manipulation. 

2 Timothy 3:1, which I use ad nauseam, talks about that the last days would have perilous times. In the Greek that word perilous means the idea of a “raging sea or wild animals roaming” through cities and in the countryside. What a perfect description of what we’re seeing today. It may be a little uncouth and mean spirited to say it, but we’ve seen wild animals roaming in Minneapolis, Portland, and New York in particular. They are planned seeds of destruction, not random peace rallies that happen to go out of control. They’re bought and paid for and their purpose is to continue the further destruction of law and order and the rule of law and truth in America. 

 The reaction of the feds is totally different than it was on January 7th. When socialist maim and burn a city, it just got out of hand, when Patriots do it without violence they are put into the political “gulag”. The rule of law does not exist in our country anymore, the American politburo won’t allow their kind (ruling class) to be held accountable. Rumors of paid slush funds, taxpayer money paid to silence alleged sexual  misconduct by high ranking Congressional officials.  The Epstein files were released with heavy, almost unreadable redactions. The two tiered Justice system is driving a wedge in this country and causing division that puts one tribe against another tribe and destroying unity and love for this land, and American culture. 

Let’s talk truth, what is truth?  Truth is found in a person, Jesus Christ.  The battle to silence truth is only going to get worse with AI. What to believe, and even how to distinguish truth is difficult.  Truth has fallen in the streets, trampled upon with the destruction of our heritage and values that are quickly fading away.  With the coming AI revolution with its deceiving ability, who knows what to believe. Deception, the greatest tool of the enemy of your soul.  Guard your hearts my friends and seek genuine truth.

Back to the Franklin quote. My dear Benjamin, excuse me for the informality, but yes we will give up liberty for seeming safety.  The seeds of that notion, perpetrated by the Federal government, happened decades ago.  As a Russian dictator once said, while being shoeless at the United Nations “We do not have to invade the United States, we will destroy you from within.” Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev. 

Sorry, Nikita, don’t think it will happen but we are only one election or maybe two away from that possible realization. Check out the socialist haven called New York City.  Gotham has fallen, has fallen!

Ben is turning over in his grave.  God have mercy on us!

Scientific Shift Toward God

For centuries, people have been told that science and belief in God are on opposite sides of a growing divide — that as science uncovers more about the universe, faith becomes less necessary.

But something surprising is happening. Instead of pushing God out of the picture, some modern discoveries in physics, cosmology, and biology are prompting scientists to ask questions that sound remarkably theological — questions about beginnings, purpose, and design.

A striking example of this is the recently released book God, the Science, the Evidence: The Dawn of a Revolution by French researchers Michel‑Yves Bolloré and Olivier Bonnassies. Drawing on contributions from more than twenty scientists, including a Nobel laureate, the book argues that science today — from the Big Bang to the astonishing complexity of life — increasingly points toward a Creator rather than blind chance.

One example the authors highlight is DNA, the molecule carrying the instructions for all life. Its intricate structure and immense information content appear far more like a coded design than something that could easily arise by accident. 

This, they argue, challenges the idea that life could have emerged purely through random processes. The book has already sparked conversations worldwide, showing that questions of faith and science are far from mutually exclusive.

https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=9678

IMO It is nonsensical to believe this intricate design of our human body could be by chance. DNA and other bodily creations such as how does an eye see or how does the human brain work, defies the possibility of evolution. Just think of the vastness of our universe. The perfect place of earth as it circles the Sun. God is the only answer. That isn’t even a statement of faith, it’s a statement of intelligent thinking. Common sense lets me know there is a creator. But faith is belief in Jesus Christ as my savior, that He died for me and rose from the grave. Faith is, I believe the Word of God to be true and a roadmap for humanity. Faith lets me know God has it all under control, even when it looks like the world is falling apart, when it’s only falling into place. Prophecy foretold, prophecy fulfilled! Rh

Who is the Iranian Islamic Republic’s ayatollah, Mojtaba Khamenei? 

Mojtaba is the second son of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was eliminated in an Israeli strike at the start of Operation Roaring Lion; He is considered more extreme than his father

Well that’s not good news, someone more extreme than Khamenei.  It seems he might be responsible for the crackdown when protests began in January. Doesn’t bode well for regime change which is the priority, IMO.  But  you will get what you get in an Islamist republic. Rh

Mojtaba Khamenei was officially chosen Sunday evening as the Supreme Leader of Iran, according to state media. Mojtaba is the second son of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was killed in an Israeli strike at the start of Operation “Lion’s Roar.”

A decision on the matter was supposed to be published last week, but was apparently postponed due to concerns he would be assassinated. Those responsible for the decision to choose Mojtaba are the Assembly of Experts, which Israel attempted to strike last week — 88 clerics who have the authority to determine the identity of the next leader.

Nevertheless, among the current leadership in Iran there are also opponents. The most prominent of them is Ali Larijani, the Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.

In 2004, Mojtaba married Zahra, and in 2007 their first child was born. According to reports, he was forced to seek fertility treatment abroad, and earlier this week it was reported in Iran that his son and wife were killed in an attack alongside the former Supreme Leader and his wife.

He studied in religious institutions in the city of Qom and received approval as a cleric. He is close to the Revolutionary Guards and established his connections with those who would later become high-ranking members of the organization during the Iran-Iraq War. His wife and one of his children were killed in the opening strike of Operation Roaring Lion.

In recent weeks, claims have been made in Iran that Mojtaba played a significant role in suppressing the protests in January, coordinating actions with the Revolutionary Guards. If the regime maintains its current hierarchy, it is expected to make the country even more conservative, and is also likely to promote the election of conservative allies to key positions in the country, just as he promoted former Iranian President Ahmadinejad to his role.  I 24 Israeli News

Latest Update: Mojtaba has a broken leg and some type of eye injury and is the hospital. Maybe he is just scared about elimination. Hospital is a good place to hide. Rh
