Moral Values

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Righteousness exalts a nation, 

But sin is a disgrace to any people. Proverbs 14:3

The founding of America was based on Judeo-Christian values.  Morality, acknowledgment of an Almighty God.  Our founders thought morally, with a Biblical worldview.  Edmund Burke (1729-1797) put the matter well in his famous statement: ”All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”  Most Christians understand that America is in a serious state of moral, social, cultural, and especially political decline.  This implies that America has fallen from a better situation to a worse situation.  As Christians we recognize a connection between a country’s religious faith and its adherence to the Word of God.  We have fallen because we have turned our back as a nation from Almighty God to a god of our own making. Let me share a warning before I go further, “The wicked will return to Sheol; Even all the nations who forget God” (Psalms 9:17).

Previously I stated we have made our own gods, (small g) which are not gods at all but we place them just as Israel did, before our worship and recognition of the Lord.  We have chosen the god of self.  We do as we please, following “our heart”, except the Bible says our “heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9.  We worship the god of prosperity and pride.  We worship the god of pleasure, if it feels good we do it.  Morality is not an absolute, but just merely a suggestion on how to live.  Today we aren’t even sure if the Bible is true, or If it even matters since many don’t believe in the Lord, except the one that gives them freedom to live as they wish.

Climate change is also a religion that puts the creation above the creator.  Mankind destroying the environment is not settled fact, however we must tax and buy carbon credits (penance) to escape our doom.  I could go on forever.  Let’s not forget evolution, a baby is a fetus etc.  

We can look back on our history and realize that we have been greatly influenced by our Christian faith.  We have never officially been a Christian Republic, but those roots run deep in our past prosperity.  Unfortunately, our national situation is much different today.  Barack Obama (while Senator and later as President) has repeatedly sought to distance America from its Christian heritage.  In 2006, he stated that “whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation.”  In 2007 in Turkey of all places, he stated ”we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation.”  This might be the only statement BHO ever said that I could agree with, sadly.

We are in trouble until we accept the truth that we have sinned and turned our back on Jesus Christ.  Repentance and a turning away from sin is mandatory to renew morality in America.  God be merciful to us.

A National Forerunner Of A Global Blueprint: The Grave Implications Of A Digital Health Tracking System In America – Harbinger’s Daily

In less than a year, the Trump administration has made great strides to untether the United States from globalist chains (such as withdrawing from the World Health Organization) and return to upholding foundational constitutional freedoms. But now, a Big Tech-backed, Trump-approved digital personal health tracking system has appeared on the national…

Will we ever be able to free ourselves from this one world (1984) type big brother? Apparently not, the beast is being let loose. If AI aficionados have their way we will all be tracked every step of the way to total control “for the greater good.” Rh

From Capitol Hill to Mount Zion: Huckabee’s Wake-Up Call to America

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

July 18, 2025

Below is an article that tells us all we need to know about how far America has drifted from it’s moral foundation. Pray for our country! It is badly needed, we are so far gone only a genuine revival will ultimately save us. Rh

In the latest episode of The Jew and Gentile Podcast, Steve Herzig and I had the opportunity to speak with Ambassador Mike Huckabee, a longtime friend of the Jewish people and one of the clearest voices today on Israel and the Middle East.

Fresh off meetings in Washington, D.C. with President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Huckabee offered firsthand insights into discussions about the future of Israel in a new Middle East with the expanding reach of the Abraham Accords.

But it wasn’t the closed-door diplomacy that surprised him most—it was the streets of his own nation’s capital.

Twice, while walking through Washington, Huckabee was aggressively confronted by pro-Hamas protestors. “They recognized me, surrounded me, screamed at me,” he told us. “It made things so uncomfortable that about fifteen D.C. police had to intervene. That happened—not once—but twice.”

In a comment that startled many, Huckabee added, “I got to get out of this crazy town, Washington, and get back to Jerusalem, where I’m safe. People laughed—they thought it was a joke. I said, ‘No, I’m serious.’ I feel very comfortable and safe in Jerusalem. I do not feel that way in my own nation’s capital.”

Think about that. 

A former governor and presidential candidate—targeted and heckled in the heart of American democracy—feels safer in Jerusalem than in Washington, D.C. What does that say about the state of our national discourse? And more importantly, where does it point us as people who are Biblically minded?

It points us to Zion.

In the ancient days of Israel, the prophet Micah envisioned a time in the future when peace wouldn’t be legislated from the palaces of human power, but from the holy mountain of God.

Micah 4:1–4 reads, “In the last days, the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and peoples will stream to it. Many nations will come and say, ‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways so that we walk in His paths.’ The law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He will judge between many peoples… they will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up the sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Everyone will sit under their own vine and under his own fig tree, and no one will make them afraid, for the Lord Almighty has spoken.”

What Micah describes isn’t a political ceasefire—it’s transformation. It’s not temporary relief brokered by diplomats—it’s lasting peace ushered in by the Lord Himself.

And that’s the contrast Huckabee felt so keenly. Washington is a place of power, but not peace. It’s a city filled with tension, noise, protest, and confusion. But Jerusalem—despite being surrounded by enemies—holds a remarkable sense of clarity and calm for those who understand its Biblical significance.

Jerusalem is where God’s promises converge. It’s where His Word was written, His Son was revealed and resurrected, and His kingdom will be established. When Huckabee says he feels safer in Jerusalem, he’s not just making a statement about crime or politics. He’s articulating something deeper—a spiritual alignment, a sense that in Zion, God’s purposes are unfolding, even amid present conflict.

It’s no surprise, then, that supporters of Israel are increasingly targeted in major US cities and on American college campuses. We are watching in real time as standing with God’s people is met not with applause, but with opposition. But the ancient call still stands: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord.”

That mountain—Mount Zion—is where peace will come. Not Capitol Hill. Not the UN. Not any man-made institution. Peace begins with the Prince of Peace, and He has chosen Jerusalem as the city of His throne.

So as the noise of culture grows louder, and the pressures to compromise truth intensify, let us remember where true peace is found. It’s not in the fleeting treaties of men, but in the eternal promises of God.

Capitol Hill may pass laws—but Mount Zion will bring lasting justice. Washington may host summits—but Jerusalem will send out the Word of the Lord. And while ambassadors are shouted down in D.C., one day, nations will stream to Jerusalem to learn the ways of peace.

Just as the prophet Jeremiah foretold, the Holy Spirit writes God’s law upon our hearts—and in doing so, He directs our attention toward Zion, where the Word of the Lord will go forth and peace and justice will be made known.

The Founders Meant to Keep Government Out of the Church, Not God Out of the Government

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Paul Strand

This is a wonderful, factual article. The left has duped American to believe a lie. Our founders were terrified of a government run church. After seeing the overreach of government these last few years, their fear is well grounded. Enjoy the article. Rh

The 4th of July makes us think of our independence and freedoms. And legal battles in recent years over religious liberty in the U.S.A. raise serious questions about the freedom to worship in America. So when our Founders came up with the First Amendment, were they trying to keep the government free from religion, or religion free from government?  

These days, the phrase “wall of separation between church and state” has come to mean keeping God or His believers from having a big effect on government and public life. But that’s far, far from what the Founding Fathers were thinking of when they were separating church and state.

Fear of an All-Powerful State Church Wed to the Power of the Government

They were afraid of what so many of the Old World countries had: a religion established by the state as its one true religion, that would tyrannically rule over the faith and conscience of every citizen.

As the Providence Forum’s Peter Lillback put it, “They recognized having a monolithic church was a dangerous thing.”  That’s because it made the king not only their physical sovereign but also their all-powerful spiritual ruler.

Before the Pilgrims fled England, Wallbuilders’ David Barton recalled, “The Pilgrims’ pastor was executed because he made the statement that Jesus Christ is head of the church. And the monarch said, ‘Oh no, I’m the head of the church. You’re dead.’”

Wouldn’t Allow a Church of America Like the Brits Had the Church of England

Knowing of such terror and tyranny, AmericanMinute.com historian William Federer explained how the Founders felt: “Their big fear was the federal government was going to follow the blueprint of every country in Europe and pick one national denomination.”

So what they meant by saying in the First Amendment “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion” was that the federal government was banned from creating – or “establishing” – a national religion with the national government wedded to it.

“They didn’t want to have a national, established Church of America like you have the Church of England, forcing people to believe something that they didn’t believe in,” said Jerry Newcombe, host of the radio program “Vocal Point”.

“What they said was, ‘We don’t want a state church here. Consciously, therefore, they were separating the church from government,” Lillback said.

But that was strictly to protect the churches and each believer’s faith and conscience from the government.

All About Protecting Each American’s Conscience and Freedom to Believe

Not only did the First Amendment say, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,” but it also said, “or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”

“What they wanted was the freedom that we have in the Bible: the rights of conscience,” Barton said. “And they didn’t want the state telling us how we could or couldn’t practice our faith.”

Lillback said the Founders keeping government control away from faith meant, “Each of us has a right to be who we are before God. It has been well said and it’s a classic statement of religious liberty that man is not free unless he is free on the inside.  We have to have the freedom to believe what we believe. That’s what the First Amendment protects.”

God: He’s on Both Sides of the Wall’

And that’s what Christian historian Eddie Hyatt explained Thomas Jefferson was talking about when he wrote the letter that first used the famous “wall of separation” phrase to a group of worried Baptists.

“He said that the First Amendment had erected a wall of separation that would protect them from any intrusion of the government,” Hyatt stated. “In Jefferson’s mind, the wall of separation was a uni-directional wall, put there to keep the government out of the church; not to keep the influence of the church out of the government.”

There was no antipathy towards the Lord in all of this, Lillback insisted, saying, “But the idea of God: He’s on both sides of the wall. And He’s welcome there. And He should be.”

The Government Is Reaching Over that Wall, Bossing Around People of Faith

But today, there’s been a complete flip.

Lillback said, “Those who once believed in this really high and impregnable wall of church and state, we now see the government reaching over that wall and saying, ‘but don’t preach that text of scripture.’”

Barton added, “All of a sudden the government’s regulating religious activities, which is what Jefferson said they would not do because of separation of church and state.”

Hyatt lamented, “The Founders would be so distressed to see how that statement has been turned on its head.”

As Newcombe explained, “They absolutely did not mean the separation of God and government, which is what’s often being practiced today.”

No One ‘Under Government,’ but Each One ‘Under God’

Lillback encourages Americans to remember what the nation’s Founders intended.

“This is a theistic government. So God was not separated from government,” he insisted. “So any interpretation of the First Amendment that takes God out of government is turning the whole story on its head. Rather it was taking a formal state church out of the equation, leaving it up to each individual. But all, as we still say, ‘under God.’ That was the view of our Founders.”

They believed a nation based on liberty could only stay free if its citizens were godly people. As Barton pointed out, believers in God have their eyes on eternity, and it makes them practice self-control.  

Knowing You’ll Answer to God Makes You Govern Yourself

“When you’re God-conscious, you realize, ‘ya know, I’m going to have to answer to Him for what I do,’ and it limits my bad behavior,” Barton stated.

Newcombe added, “That’s something the Founders believed very strongly: that we’re going to be accountable before God.”

Hyatt said of those Founders, “They knew that they were creating a nation for a free people, but also for a virtuous people who would govern themselves from within.”

You need very little police power if people, because of conscience, will police themselves.

Green Bean Control Laws?

“Self-control is what you need,” Barton explained. “We can pass all the control laws we want. But unless you control the heart, you’ll never control behavior. I mean, I can kill somebody with a can of green beans. What are we going to do?  Pass green bean control laws if somebody does that? No. It’s on the inside.”

And the Founders knew to keep America true and free, they also needed the perfect law of a loving, all-wise God.

As Lillback put it, “There was a clear understanding that the government needed to have an ultimate check and balance, even beyond the people that ran it and their elections. And that is the transcendent law of God.  And so that is why when we look at our Declaration of Independence, there are four references to Deity.”

Going through the Declaration, Lillback laid them out: “‘We’re endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights.’ The laws of God and nature. And it tells us there’s an appeal to the Supreme Judge of the world. And, finally, a dependence on the Providence of God. Four references to Deity.”

Not Godless at All

But then came the US Constitution, which some say is a godless document because God isn’t mentioned in it. As soon as they were done with it, though, the Founders called for a day of Thanksgiving to God.

“They were not thinking ‘let’s get rid of God,'” Lillback stated. “They said, ‘We have been given now a new Constitution, and now amendments that give us our freedoms. And where do we turn? We turn to heaven and thank God for this.'”

“Now, if their intent was to get rid of God from government, boy did they miss their point,” Lillback said.  “Because they turned around and thanked Him for everything that they had. It shows the utter historical absurdity of ‘the godless Constitution’.”

Constitution’s Last Words Reference Christ

And God isn’t really absent from the Constitution or its authors’ lives.

“They are not godless,” Lillback insisted. “They are people who, at the very end of their work, said, ‘In the year of our Lord, 1787.’  The very last words in the Constitution are a reference to Jesus Christ.”

He concluded, “It’s no surprise then that the ultimate motto is We are One Nation Under God.”

Genocide and War Crimes

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) confirmed inThe a statement on Wednesday that they are launching an investigation into individuals they suspect of having participated in “genocide, war crimes, or crimes against humanity” during the Israel-Hamas war.

The RCMP referred to its quietly introduced investigation as a “sensitive matter” in its statement, which was released in response to news reports exposing the clearly anti-Israel probe. Despite their insistence that the investigation “does not target any community or group,” media outlets have sounded the alarm that Canadian citizens who have served in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) could be in the crosshairs of police.

While the RCMP stated that the probe is not a “criminal investigation,” it added: “Should a perpetrator of core international crimes—such as genocide, war crimes, or crimes against humanity—with the appropriate nexus to Canada be identified, the RCMP will initiate a separate criminal investigation.”     

 Robert Gottselig, Executive Director of the Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry Canada, spoke out against the anti-Israel statements by the Liberal Government, cautioning: “This will not bring blessing to Canada; it will bring curses upon my country, as the God of this universe promised in Genesis 12:3.”  Breanna Claussen is the President and Editor In Chief for Harbingers Daily News Media.

Can I be honest here?  Canada is lost to a woke left wing Luciferian government.  I guess it is too much to consider an attack on unsuspecting young people who are attending a music festival and concert and then brutally being killed, raped and slaughtered is not a war crime??  Let’s not forget the babies that were put in microwaves or others who were burned alive.  How about being starved during captivity and left in dark rooms without fresh water and having to eat moldy bread?  No, let’s look into the IDF to see if the soldiers did anything we can pin a charge against.  Are you kidding me?  Anti-semitism has reached an unbelievable high in the world.  Typical!  Liberals love picking the wrong side. 

I stand with Israel and their response has been measured. Rh

‘The Divine Feminine’?: New Age Practices, Secular Psychiatry, And The Rejection Of Bible Truth – Harbinger’s Daily

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

For those who hold to these beliefs, the Divine Feminine represents a goddess archetype, promoting self-empowerment and intuition above Biblical truth.  It is yet further evidence of what we already know – the world is blinded by the god of this age.  Many are trapped in New Age practices because…

I try to keep up with the latest in rejection of Biblical purity. This one makes sense, even though this is the first time I heard about it. Am I trying to tie the (as I call it) Gender Mafia movement in this country to this anti-Biblical movement? Maybe, probably, but it does make one think. I do remember a female Senator who stated, if women ran the country they (we) would solve all our nation’s problems. Luciferian’s will do anything to destroy our family values and our American way of life. Rh

Passover: Jesus Is The Substance Behind Every Prophetic Shadow

This is a fairly long article.  Please read until the end.  It will bless you on this Resurrection weekend.   Amir is a Christian writer and speaker, who loves our Lord Jesus Christ. Rh

Did you know that God’s calendar actually begins with Passover? In Exodus 12:2, God tells Moses, “This month shall be your beginning of months.” God’s calendar could have started with the creation, the flood, Adam, or Abraham, but instead, He chose to start it with the Exodus from Egypt.

So much of Passover points to Yeshua—the lamb, the blood, the unleavened bread—it would be simpler to tell you what doesn’t point to Him! Today, I want to show you how these ancient symbols reveal our Messiah.

First, let me explain what the Passover Seder is. The word “Seder” in Hebrew means “order.” It’s the traditional meal and ceremony that Jewish families have observed for thousands of years to commemorate our deliverance from Egypt. While the Passover itself is commanded in scripture, the specific seder rituals and traditions developed over time in Jewish practice. During this special evening, we eat specific symbolic foods, drink four cups of wine, and tell the story of the Exodus to our children.

Did Jesus celebrate the Passover Seder? Absolutely! In Luke 22:15, Jesus says to His disciples, “With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer…” Jesus not only celebrated it, He was eager to do so because He knew this ancient celebration was always about Him. This wasn’t just another religious ritual for Jesus; it was the moment He would reveal Himself as the fulfillment of everything the Passover represented.

Colossians 2:16-17 tells us that the festivals, new moons, and Sabbaths are “a shadow of things to come, but the substance is Christ.”

I want to show you how the Messiah is revealed in every symbol on the Passover plate and why this feast perfectly covers the timing of His death and resurrection—distinguishing him from any false prophet, false teacher, or false messiah.

Let’s go over the traditional seder plate the Jews have on their tables to this day. I promise you you won’t be left spiritually hungry today! Each element has incredible significance that points directly to our Messiah, Yeshua.

Blood Of The Passover Lamb

Let’s start with something fascinating about the Passover lamb and the blood that caused God’s judgment to pass over.

When God instituted Passover, He didn’t say, “The angel will pass over the houses of the Jews.” No, the instruction in Exodus 12:23 was clear: “And when he sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to strike you.” It wasn’t about ethnic identity; it was about the blood.

What if an Egyptian family had overheard Moses’s instructions and put lamb’s blood on their doorposts? I have news for you: their firstborn would have been spared! We are not saved by our ancestry or ethnicity. It’s not about the blood that runs within your veins; it’s about the blood you sprinkle on the doorpost of your heart.

Bones Of The Passover Lamb

The shankbone is a symbol of the Passover lamb. For generations, Jewish families sacrificed an innocent, unblemished male lamb. Paul, once a persecutor of the church, wrote in 1 Corinthians 5:7, “For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.” When the scales fell from his eyes, he could see who the true Passover was.

According to Exodus 12:46, not one bone of the Passover lamb was to be broken, and when they came to Jesus on the cross, John 19:33 tells us, “But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break His legs.” He fulfilled the requirements perfectly.

Matzah Bread

On matzah bread, you notice stripes and piercings marked into it. Isaiah 53:5says, “But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him and by His stripes we are healed.” Zechariah 12:10 speaks of the One whom they pierced. This unleavened bread symbolizes the sinless life of Jesus.

Pay close attention to this: in every Passover seder, we have three matzahas placed together. The Jewish rabbis say they represent the priests, Levites, and the people (the Israelites), but why then do we take the middle one, break it, and hide half of it, this hidden piece we call the “Afikoman,” and later redeem it for a reward? If this isn’t about the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—with the Son being broken for us and hidden for a time—what is it?

The word “Afikoman” actually comes from Greek; it means “what comes after” or “that which comes later.” Jesus is still hidden from His own people, but the day will come when all Israel will recognize Him and be saved.

When rabbis are asked why they break the middle matzah, they simply say, “That’s our tradition!” But traditions always have origins and meanings. This tradition perfectly pictures our Messiah who was broken for us, hidden, buried, and then returned resurrected.

Bitter Herbs

The bitter herbs remind us of the suffering of our ancestors in Egypt, but they also remind us of the bitter cup Jesus drank in Gethsemane when He said, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death” (Matthew 26:38). Be willingly took that bitter cup for us.

Four Cups Of Wine

The four cups of wine each represent a promise from Exodus 6:6-7. God would bring Israel out, rescue them, redeem them, and take them as His people. The cups represent sanctification, judgment, redemption, and praise.

During the last supper, something incredible happened. Jesus took the first cup as normal, but then he did something unexpected. He skipped the second cup—the cup of judgment. Why? Because He was about to go to Gethsemane to drink that cup alone for us. Instead, after supper, He took the third cup—the cup of redemption—saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is shed for you” (Luke 22:20). What grace! He took the judgment so we could have redemption.

When you take communion, you’re not participating in some man-made ritual; you’re connecting to this ancient celebration of God’s redemptive plan. The cup and bread that Jesus used to institute communion were part of this Passover meal.

Here’s a thought that will blow your mind: when Jesus shed blood for the first time, it wasn’t on the cross; it was in the garden of Gethsemane, where Luke 22:44 tells us, “His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.” The first Adam sinned in a garden, bringing death. The last Adam suffered in a garden, bringing life!

An Empty Seat For Elijah

Jewish people set an empty seat for Elijah, waiting for him to announce the Messiah. But Jesus tells us in Matthew 17 that Elijah already came through John the Baptist. The messenger has come, and so has the Messiah.

He fulfilled his role as suffering servant and will return as conquering King.

Singing ‘Dayenu’

During the seder, we sing Dayenu, meaning “It Would Have Been Enough.” Each line of the song declares, “It would have been enough,” but God gave more! As believers, we can say, “If you had only forgiven our sins, Dayenu, but He also made us children of God and co-airs with Christ.”

Even facing crucifixion, Jesus still sang the Passover hymns in His darkest hour. Our Messiah praised God. Psalm 116:13 says, “I will take up the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.” This is what Jesus did for you and me. He took that cup of salvation, drank the cup of judgment, and now offers us eternal life.

The Substance Behind Every Prophetic Shadow

What makes Jesus fundamentally different from any false messiah? He died as our Passover lamb, precisely on Passover day, at the exact time the temple lambs were being slaughtered. He was buried during the feast of unleavened bread, symbolizing his sinless body. He rose on the feast of first fruits. No human could orchestrate this divine timing. Only the true Messiah, who established these feasts with Moses 1,500 years earlier, could fulfill them with such precision.

Friends, the mystery of the Messiah, hidden for ages, is now revealed. He is the substance behind every prophetic shadow. These feasts were prophecies in action that only the true Messiah could fulfill to the letter.

God is not after the rituals, He wants hearts that recognize His Son. I pray that you will see through the beauty of Passover how God planned your salvation from the very beginning and how only through Him can we “Passover” from death to life.
