2016: Mrs. Clinton So Far Ahead in polls that she doesn't have to campaign Oct 24, 2016 - Hillary Clinton is so far ahead of Donald Trump in the race for the presidency that she no longer even feels the need to pay attention to Trump and visit some states. Polls find Mrs Clinton leads Trump among likely voters 51% to 37%, a significant lead over the Republican candidate. Apparently she has support of 90% of likely Democrat voters, as well as support from 15% of moderate Republicans....
In USA Black Citizen's Successes: Ten Percent Is Not Enough |
9-23-14, * -- For almost 150 years the United States has been conducting an experiment; the subjects of the experiment: black people and working-class whites. The hypothesis to be tested: “Can a people taken from the jungles of Africa and forced into slavery be fully integrated as citizens in a majority white population?” The whites were descendants of Europeans who had created a majestic civilization. The former slaves had been tribal peoples with no written language and virtually no intellectual achievements. In 1863 acting on a policy that was not fair to either group, the government released newly freed black people into a white society that saw them as inferiors and America has struggled with racial discord ever since. Decade after decade the problems persisted; but the experimenters never gave up insisting that if they could find the right formula the experiment would work! They tried with money, special programs, relaxed standards and endless hand wringing to close the “achievement gap.” Their new laws intruded into people’s lives in ways that would have been otherwise unthinkable concocting program after program and:
| <-- There is a Talented Tenth: Black Americans who are talented and educated who have become entrepreneurs, lawyers, doctors and scientists are approximately ten percent of their population. A tenth is not enough. For the experiment to work, the ten percent has to be followed by a critical mass of people who will attend and graduate from schools, hold jobs and promote social stability. That’s what’s missing. Through the decades too many American cities have failed:
|
THE “EXPERIMENT” HAS FAILED
The experiment has failed not because of culture, white privilege or racism. The fundamental problem is white people and black people are different and the differences result in a large social incompatibility.
~~~
- just how tired their white subjects are with this experiment
- that white people aren’t out to get black people; they are just exhausted with them. They are exhausted by the social pathologies, the violence, the endless complaints, the blind racial solidarity, the bottomless pit of grievances, the excuses and reflexive animosity
- that white people are not racists – they are just frustrated as most of the efforts and attempts to placate and encourage the successes of all black people has resulted in a small percentage being educated and successful ... with still more rioting

On June 22, 2020 the city of Seattle saw three people shot one killed during the Anarchists 'CHAZ' takeover. The mayor Ms Jenny Durkan said that protests in the area would still be allowed, but authorities would try to scale back evening activities; police officers wouldn't force protesters to leave the area, but would instead ask them to voluntarily leave the area [pretty please].

Lawlessness in the World
End of America as we know it ...
The Apostle Paul said, "Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto Him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity [lawlessness] doth already work: only He who now letteth will let, until He be taken out of the way. And then shall that wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause - God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."
6-21-20, Pastor JD Farag of Calvary Chapel in Hawaii USA proclaims reasons why we are near the end of the age as we know it. The unchecked and growing shameful lawlessness now ongoing in the world with the false premise of racism ... the desire of the wicked to defund and disband America's law enforcement as in Seattle. Murder and mayhem reins in California, Georgia, New York, Minneapolis MN and Chicago Ill ... more.
The courts are corrupted ... the USA is in the downward slide of extinction.

The Railroading of Michael Flynn - Commentary Magazine 6-17-20, CommentaryMag -- Gen Michael Flynn the former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency and in May 2020, another Justice Dept investigation was concluded as Obama minions tried to convict and jail him. The Trump administration went to court and moved to drop the federal government’s case released while also releasing shocking documents from inside the executive branch that reveal the extent of the injustices done to Flynn. The stunning response from senior Obama officials, including Obama himself, was to condemn the supposed politicization of the Trump Justice Dept. Now the Judge hearing Flynn’s case has paused the motion. Michael Flynn is still in limbo. | Michael Flynn Responds to John Gleeson's 'Assault' 6-18-20, Law&Crime.com -- On June 17, 2020 attorneys for former National Security Advisor and retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn responded to the lengthy filing by court-appointed amicus John Gleeson saying: “This court exceeded its authority under the Constitution to solicit amici and to appoint an amicus. That chosen amicus has now engaged in a flagrant personal and partisan assault on General Flynn, Attorney General Barr, and the President of the United States,” the filing began, before saying that Gleeson ignored evidence that Flynn was victimized by the FBI. “This court’s friend simply ignores the indisputable, newly-produced evidence proving that it is General Flynn who was singled out for a baseless, politically motivated investigation and prosecution.” |

6-2-20, John Haller at Fellowship Bible in Ohio reports on world conditions as they parallel with God's Holy Word. More so than ever before, the world is faced with decisions that may have long-term impact:
- Virus scare: Mask or no mask?
- Border war: Pakistan, India or China?
- Rioting, vandalism, looting in America: Send in the National Guard, or let the cities destroy themselves?
- Turkey or Iran will invade Israel?
- Vote in November 2020: Democrat or Republican?

6-20-20, Turkey and Russia postpone talks addressing conflicts in Libya and Syria where they support opposing sides in long-standing conflicts. [..] Recently the United Nations said that warring sides had begun new ceasefire talks in Libya, where Ankara supports the internationally recognized Government of National Accord (GNA), whose forces have in recent weeks repelled an assault on Tripoli by the Libyan National Army (LNA) of militia leader Khalifa Haftar.Last week, Turkey dismissed an Egyptian proposal for a ceasefire, calling the plan an attempt to rescue Haftar after his forces were defeated in their 14-month campaign to take the capital. Moscow, along with the United Arab Emirates and Egypt, backs the LNA in the long-running Libyan conflict.
In Syria, Russia supports Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces, while Turkey backs opposition fighters. Although a Turkish-Russian brokered deal three months ago produced a ceasefire that halted fighting in northwest Syria's Idlib, air strikes have once again hit the region in the last week.

Lyrics:
Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Thou art the Potter, I am the clay.
Mold me and make me after Thy will,
While I am waiting, yielded and still.
Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Search me and try me, Master, today!
Whiter than snow, Lord, wash me just now,
As in Thy presence humbly I bow.
Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Wounded and weary, help me, I pray!
Power, all power, surely is Thine!
Touch me and heal me, Savior divine.
Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Hold o’er my being absolute sway!
Fill with Thy Spirit till all shall see
Christ only, always, living in me.

Thirteen Post-Resurrection Appearances of the Lord King Jesus:
He appeared to His eleven disciples, women and hundreds of others.
Seven times in Jerusalem, three times in Galilee, one time in Nazareth, one time in Bethany and after ascension - to Paul on road to Damascus.
He appeared to His eleven disciples, women and hundreds of others: seven times in Jerusalem, three times in Galilee, one time in Nazareth, one time in Bethany and after ascension to Paul on road to Damascus. During those forty days there are thirteen recorded times of His appearances; following in chronological order: [FYI from Jerusalem it’s appx 200 miles to Damascus and 114 miles to Galilee]
- Mary Magdalene at the open tomb (Mark 16:9-11; John 20:11-18) Jerusalem
- Other two women who were with Mary Magdalene—Salome and Mary the mother of James (Matthew 28:9-10) Jerusalem
- Peter (Luke 24:34; 1 Corinthians 15:5) Jerusalem
- Cleopas and another man Jerusalem on the road to Emmaus (Mark 16:12-13; Luke 24:13-32)
- Ten apostles without Thomas in the upper room on Mount Zion just outside the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem. (Luke 24:36-43; John 20:19-25) Jesus asked them to give Him something to eat, and He ate a piece of fish in front of them. (As we will be like Him(1 John 3:2) in our resurrected bodies we to will be able to eat food.)
- Eleven apostles with Thomas (John 20:26-29). Upper room, Jerusalem - As Thomas said, “Except I shall see in His hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the nails and thrust my hand into His side, I will not believe.” (John 20:25) A few days later, the risen Christ again appeared to them and said to Thomas, “Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing… Thomas, because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed.” Then Thomas said, “My Lord and my God!” (John 20:28)
- Peter, Thomas, Nathaniel, the two sons of Zebedee, and two others on the shores of the Sea of Galilee (John 21:1-25). They were fishing in a boat not far from shore, and they fished all night fishing on the sea of Galilee without a catch. The next morning Jesus appeared on the shore. They saw Him but they didn’t recognize that it was Him. Jesus said to them, “Have you caught any fish?” Jesus told them to try again and where and they caught a lot of fish. Apparently the Lord cooked the fish and ate with them.
- Eleven disciples again this time in Galilee on a mountain (Matthew 28:16-20; Mark 16:15-18). He gave them His orders for their mandate of the “Great Commission:” Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you”
- Over five hundred at once (1 Corinthians 15:6) [1] Galilee (Matthew 28:16-20; Mark 16:15-18). https://taylormarshall.com/2018/04/resurrected-christ-appeared-500-happen.html

- Apostles day of His ascension Jesus ate a meal with them in Jerusalem (Acts 1:3-8; (Mark 16:19-20; Luke 24:50-53) and gave final instructions to preach His Gospel good news] in all the earth. His ascension (Acts 1:9-12; Mark 16:19-20; Luke 24:50-53).[
- Apostles at ascension in Bethany, on the Mount of Olives (Acts 1:9-11)
- Paul (1 Corinthians 15:8; Acts 9:1-6; 18:9-10; 23:11)

Rhode Island USA Bans Blind Gail Blair [63] From Public Park for Street Preaching Jesus as She Handed Out the Bible's Gospel of John
6-17-20, Rhode Island USA, (TargetLiberty.org) – FREEDOM OF RELIGION IS #1 IN THE CONSTITUTION, yet one association singled out 63 year old blind woman Gail Blair of Westerly, RI, who is a member of the Pocket Testament League for exercising her freedom of speech and religion rights.
Rhode Island officials gave Ms Blair a two-year ban from her local park and library because she shared Jesus with the Bible's Gospel of John to anyone who was interested. Now the Memorial and Library Association who runs the park and Westerly Library, says she can’t do that anymore.
Apparently some library association members called the police complaining that Ms Blair was “accosting” park visitors. Last July 2019, the Westerly PD asked her to leave the park and informed her that she was trespassing. On Tuesday, June 17, 2020 Ms Blair, represented by law firms First Liberty Institute and William Wray Jr. and Adler Pollock & Sheehan P.C., filed a discrimination complaint with the Rhode Island Commission for Human Rights against the library association. In the complaint, Ms Blair, who worked as a nurse until 1991 and suffered from a disorder that caused gradual vision loss, says she was banned “because of [the Associations’s] unlawful discrimination against me on the basis of my disability and my religious beliefs.”

In 2020 we have savage mobs from Minnesota to California and parts in between!
The USA is committing suicide just like he feared.
Abraham Lincoln Speech, Springfield, Illinois, Jan 27, 1838 [excerpt] ..." In the great journal of things happening under the sun, we, the American People, find our account running, under date of the nineteenth century of the Christian era. We find ourselves in the peaceful possession, of the fairest portion of the earth, as regards extent of territory, fertility of soil, and salubrity of climate. We find ourselves under the government of a system of political institutions, conducing more essentially to the ends of civil and religious liberty, than any of which the history of former times tells us. We, when mounting the stage of existence, found ourselves the legal inheritors of these fundamental blessings. We toiled not in the acquirement or establishment of them--they are a legacy bequeathed us, by a once hardy, brave, and patriotic, but now lamented and departed race of ancestors. Their's was the task (and nobly they performed it) to possess themselves, and through themselves, us, of this goodly land; | and to uprear upon its hills and its valleys, a political edifice of liberty and equal rights; 'tis ours only, to transmit these, the former, unprofaned by the foot of an invader; the latter, undecayed by the lapse of time and untorn by usurpation, to the latest generation that fate shall permit the world to know. This task of gratitude to our fathers, justice to ourselves, duty to posterity, and love for our species in general, all imperatively require us faithfully to perform. How then shall we perform it? At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. | At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide! I hope I am over wary; but if I am not, there is, even now, something of ill-omen, amongst us. I mean the increasing disregard for law which pervades the country; the growing disposition to substitute the wild and furious passions, in lieu of the sober judgment of Courts; and the worse than savage mobs, for the executive ministers of justice. This disposition is awfully fearful in any community; and that it now exists in ours, though grating to our feelings to admit, it would be a violation of truth, and an insult to our intelligence, to deny. Accounts of outrages committed by mobs, form the every-day news of the times. They have pervaded the country, from New England to Louisiana..." |
No Time For Timid Faith!
Wail for the day of the Lord is near; as destruction from the Almighty it will come. The Lord comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger, to make the land a desolation and to destroy its sinners from it!
6-18-20, Archives of David Wilkerson 2010 AD -- Take a look at the current condition of the USA and the world. What do you see? Christ’s prophecy is being fulfilled before our very eyes: “On the earth distress of nations, with perplexity … men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken” (Luke 21:25-26).
The apostle Paul speaks of this time: “When they say, ‘Peace and safety!’ then sudden destruction comes upon them” (1 Thessalonians 5:3). Paul is describing a people who live smugly and securely, boasting, “We’ve achieved success and peace. Everything is going along just fine.” Yet, at the very moment people feel most secure, destruction comes. Suddenly, the security they cherished vanishes and society is overwhelmed by fear.
[Note: In 2020 before the Covid virus scare, most Americans did feel safe and secure as President Trump's plans were succeeding ... then disaster struck with the virus lockdown and now the rioting and mayhem. Yet we are not to fear as God’s strong delusion may be in effect ... 2 Thessalonians 10-12 and if not - He still isn't surprised at the wicked behaviors of the God haters and baby killers in America. All will be well we have the peace that passes understanding. Philippians 4:7 Hallelujah!--Annette]
Our Captain, The Lord Jesus is calling us to stand up in the midst of a fearful society and engage in “power faith.” We are to make the declaration: “God sent me before you to … save your lives by a great deliverance” (Genesis 45:7). When the world is reeling from disasters, with sorrows mounting on all sides, God will be calling forth faithful soldiers who have been trained for battle. These devoted men and women have endured trials and emerged with a sure faith. The power of God rests on them. Such power may not be seen on a grand scale; it may be seen only in simple ways: a smile in a sea of frowns, a peaceful demeanor in turmoil no fear in mind and body as others tremble.
Joel 2:1, 11, 30-31; Isaiah 13:6, 17:12; Ezekiel 32:7; Luke 21:24; 1 Thessalonians 5:2; 2 Peter 3:10

NATO was created in 1949 when Soviets were a threat ...
Is Russia still a threat? Does the world need NATO?
6-17-20, Scott Ritter* - By calling out Germany for failing to pay its fair share of the cost of North Atlantic Treaty Org [NATO], US President Donald Trump has challenged the legitimacy of the foundational premise upon which the alliance was built. This is a good thing. Experts now speculate that a second term for Pres Trump could fatally weaken NATO the transatlantic alliance that has been since 1949 charged with deterring the perceived Russian aggression since the end of the Second World War. The Trump administration has announced it will withdraw some 9,500 troops from Germany as punishment for Berlin’s failure to raise its required contribution to defense spending of two percent of its GDP. | Pres Trump’s actions, and the concerns of the international academics about the possible demise of NATO, are perhaps best evaluated by NATO’s first secretary general in 1952 - Lord Ismay said that the purpose of alliance was “to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down." [..] This relentless search for an enemy worthy of a transatlantic alliance [NATO] has brought the world full circle ... Russia is neither seeking nor is prepared for a major conflict with the West, and yet the NATO alliance problems that don't exist. “Keeping Russia out” has never been a problem – Russia never wanted in.

6-16-20, DW.com -- On June 15, 2020 US President Donald Trump said the USA is reducing the number of American troops deployed in Germany accusing Berlin of being "delinquent" in its contribution to NATO. He said: "We're protecting Germany and they're delinquent. That doesn't make sense; the deployment of US troops comes at a tremendous cost to the United States. [USA $686 billion in 2017; Germany $45 bln - CNBC report here]
Russia is no threat; no need for NATO In addition to projecting a non-existent Soviet desire to occupy Western Europe, the US manufactured so-called “missile gaps” and “bomber gaps” that fueled an arms race with the Soviets of its own making. The US needed NATO as a justification for priming a post-war military industrial complex that underpinned American economic viability, and NATO needed a Russian threat to justify its continued existence. From George H.W. Bush through to Barack Obama; only Donald Trump has refused to play their game. Trump has envisioned a world where the US and Russia could get along as friends, calling out the hypocrisy of the US ... | continuing to pay the lion’s share of a bloated NATO budget, and re-examining America’s relationship with the world in a context other than simply preserving 75-year-old “rules,” Trump has challenged the very foundation of legitimacy NATO has manufactured for itself. It has taken the Trump administration four years to strip away the veneer of legitimacy surrounding NATO. If re-elected, the reality is that a Trump administration, given four more years, will tear down the entire NATO edifice. Given that NATO was born on a false premise that has been artificially sustained for nearly 70 years, such an outcome cannot come soon enough. |
What Does Defund the Police Really Mean? 6-14-20, TheAtlantic -- 'Defund the Police' Does Not Mean Defund the Police. Although the protesters explicitly, and without a doubt sincerely, have said they no longer wanted any police in their neighborhoods. They say “Defund the police” but it does not mean defunding the police, except when it does, whether next week or in the next decade. One observer who insists on taking the phrase both seriously and literally is Joe Biden. On Monday the presumptive Democrat nominee hastened to let American voters know that he doesn’t like the idea, whatever it is... | <-- Biden himself was recently tripped up by a literal reading of the slogan “Believe women.” Many of his supporters joined him in insisting the words be taken merely seriously, to mean “Believe women, but not Tara Reade his accuser.” The number of activists, partisans, and politicians who hop back and forth across the literal/serious divide—saying something with no expectation they will be taken at their word—will only grow this season. The spectacle raises the obvious question of how we should take them: seriously, or literally? The answer, of course, is neither. | MS Gov Reeves says efforts to defund police make no sense 6-8-20, Mississippi Gov Tate Reeves said, "We are a nation of laws. We must stand up and protect those who get up and put on the uniform every single day to protect our families. So the notion that we're going to defund the police makes no sense. In fact, we ought to be talking about and having a conversation about spending more money on police. Many times, these incidents are occurring because you're putting police officers in a situation in which they have fear because they don't have proper backup and, in many instances, proper training." |
6-17-20, Attorneys Clark Brewster and Paul DeMuro, Tulsa, OK filed a lawsuit claiming Pres Trump's 'KEEP AMERICA GREAT' rally would endanger the public's health; because the rally is bringing thousands of people into an indoor arena. The lawyers wanted to enforce masks and social distancing at the Saturday, June 20, 2020 rally where reportedly a million people have requested tickets. The lawyers argued that the Covid virus cases in the city of Tulsa and state of Oklahoma increased since June 1, 2020 [YEAH A WHOPPING 24 people].
The rally will go forward as scheduled at the BOK Center with overflow audiences going to the Cox Convention Center. Each person entering the arena will have their temperature checked, provide masks and hand sanitizer.

Sunday, June 21, 2020: Rare Ring of Fire Eclipse from Book of Joshua to Appear Over Israel
"the sun stood still & the moon stayed until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies [the Amorites]. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven & hasted not to go down about a whole day. And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man [Joshua]: for the LORD fought for Israel."
History: On August 21, 2017 the complete solar eclipse transversed the continental United States many believe it ushered in the most devastating hurricane season in US history. Eclipse of the Sun is considered a bad omen.
Sunday, June 21, 2020, 7:26 to 9:26 am in Israel
Annular Solar Eclipse Will Occur
6-16-20, Breaking Israel News -- A rare annular solar eclipse will appear in the heavens over Israel on Sunday, June 21, 2020. According to experts, this type of eclipse described as a “ring of fire” was responsible for Israel's victory under Joshua against the Amorites and the miraculous ‘stopping of the sun’ during battle exactly 3,227 years ago.
The eclipse will be visible in appx 37 mile wide path traversing Israel, Africa, Pakistan, India and China. It will be visible in Israel for two hours from 7:26 AM to 9:26 AM local time, reaching its peak one hour later about 8:26 AM and disappear at 9:26 AM. The sun will be 99% obscured by the moon, making the sun’s corona appear as a "ring of fire" [Zechariah 2:5] around the dark circle of the moon.
In its discussion of eclipses, the Hebrew Talmud that is commentative and interpretative writings that hold a place in the Jewish religious tradition (Sukkot 29a) specifically described solar eclipses as being a bad omen for the nations who base their calendars on the solar cycle. “When Israel does the will of the place (God), they have nothing to fear from all of this,” citing the Prophet Jeremiah as a source. [Jeremiah 23:3; Zechariah 1:12, 16] Thus said Hashem [God]: Do not learn to go the way of the nations, And do not be dismayed by portents in the sky; Let the nations be dismayed by them! Jeremiah 10:2
Researchers Attribute the Bible Account of the Sun Stopping for Joshua to an Annular Eclipse: In a paper published in the scientific Journal Astronomy and Geophysics in 2017, researchers from England’s Cambridge University confirmed a theory first suggested by Israel's Ben Gurion University researchers: that Joshua’s miraculous ‘stopping of the sun’ during a battle to allow the Israelites more time to defeat their enemies was actually an annular solar eclipse. They even pinpointed the exact date – the afternoon of October 30, precisely 3,224 years ago when Joshua led the Israelites into battle with the armies of five kings in order to help the besieged Gibeonites, with whom they had signed a peace pact. In the battle as the Israelites began to gain the upper hand, Joshua prayed for the sun and the moon to stand still in order to complete the defeat. His prayers were answered. Joshua 10:13 --> | <-- The Cambridge researchers understood this passage as an important historical account: “Modern English translations, which follow the King James translation of 1611 Bible, usually interpret this text to mean that the sun and moon stopped moving, but going back to the original Hebrew text, we determined that an alternative meaning could be that the sun and moon just stopped doing what they normally do: they stopped shining. In this context, the Hebrew words could be referring to a solar eclipse, when the moon passes between the earth and the sun and the sun appears to stop shining.” He added that the interpretation was supported by the fact that the Hebrew word meaning ‘stand still’ shares a root with a Babylonian word describing eclipses found in ancient astronomical texts. |
The Ben Gurion study based its conclusion on how it was even described in the Book of Joshua as being an annular eclipse because the Bible specifies that the moon was also involved. [As described above, an annular eclipse occurs when the moon passes in between the sun and the earth.] They interpreted the word “dom,” which only occurs one other time in the Bible (Psalms 37:7), not as “stand still,” which is how it is traditionally read, but to mean “become dark.” Their research revealed that there was only one total solar eclipse that occurred in the region between the years 1500-1000 BC, when the Israelites are believed to have entered the land. | The eclipse allowed them to date the battle precisely to 4:28 p.m. on October 30, 1207 BC. With the help of the Merneptah Stele, an Egyptian artifact which independently confirms the Israelites’ presence in Canaan, historians have dated Joshua’s entry into the land to between 1500 and 1050 BC. Using complex calculations, the researchers determined that the only annular eclipse visible from the Canaan during that period took place in October of 1207 BC. The path of this eclipse passed directly over Canaan. *Excerpted and adapted full original report here |
You Cannot Be 'Racist' Against White People 2-28-20, DailyDot -- New York Times did not fire the racist because of her series of old, now-deleted tweets, by Sarah Jeong where she had used the hashtag #CancelWhitePeople, contemplated the idea if whites were “only fit to live underground like groveling goblins” because of their propensity for sunburn, compared “dumbass f—–g white people” to dogs, and called “old white men lemmings.” The paper's response to Jeong stands in sharp contrast to the whole host of other employees who have been fired by their companies for spewing hate-filled language. This year alone, both Papa John’s founder, John Schnatter and Roseanne Barr were fired after what was perceived as hate language. Schnatter for using the n-word, Rosanne for anti-Semitic comment. --> | <--The Times also made headlines when it fired reporter Norton Quinn after his old tweets surfaced using derogatory names for African-Americans and gays and also touting friendships with neo-Nazis. So why is the paper standing by Jeong? The simple answer: Because Quinn is white and Jeong is a person of color. The Truth about Anti-White Discrimination 7-18-19, ScientificAmerican -- As our politics have fractured increasingly around race, there seems to be more and more confusion about who’s discriminating against whom. For example, a national survey reported that both blacks and whites believed that discrimination against blacks had declined over the past few decades, but whites believed that discrimination against whites was now more common than discrimination against blacks. | Racism against whites - American Thinker 8-8-18, American Thinker -- Unless you've been asleep for the past couple of years, you've been aware of a tsunami of racism directed against white people. The accepted racism against whites narrative goes like this: white people are inherently evil, they have caused nothing but destruction and misery, nothing good is possible from them. The white racism is principally being stoked by leftist young whites, if not outright communist whites. True, there have been some blacks and some Latinos expressing this racism, but it is principally by leftist whites. Some of these statements by liberals are so bizarre, so disgusting, that one could be excused in thinking they came from certifiable psychotics. An infuriating thing about conservatives is that many do not fight back... sigh. |
No False Witness
“Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.”
6-15-20, Henry Morris, PhD -- There are several important and very specific words used in this commandment not to tell falsehoods. [Exodus 20:16] An expanded translation could well be: “Do not purposely intend to injure or plan to deceive others by repeating a damaging report about one with whom you have established a relationship.”
The very idea of a lie originated with the great enemy, Satan (John 8:44; 1 John 2:21), no doubt rendering the lying tongue an abomination to God (Proverbs 6:17-19; 12:22).
The willing false witness will not escape punishment (Proverbs 19:5, 9). Indeed, such a person may die prematurely (Acts 5:4-10).
Untruth is not overlooked by God. In fact, those who are “liars” by practice will likely [unless they repent and turn to the Lord Jesus, Luke 13:3] wind up in hell (Revelation 21:8, 27; 22:15).
While the focus of this commandment prohibits a “formal” false witness against someone—which would result in damage to their person, property, or reputation—the biblical applications are many and varied. Our holy God hates a false witness.
So-called “half truths” are not godly, either. Flattery and hypocrisy are wrong (Psalm 12:1-3; Proverbs 29:5), as are malicious joking and jesting (Proverbs 26:18-19; Ephesians 5:4). Even deceptive refusals are considered ungodly behavior (Proverbs 3:27-29; 1 John 3:17-18). And, of course, slander, gossip, and “tale bearing” are wrong (Psalm 101:5).
Those who name the name of Jesus Christ are, simply, to speak the truth (Ephesians 4:25), render sound judgment (1 Corinthians 6:1-5), and not to enter into a plot to do evil (Zechariah 7:9-10; Romans 12:9, 17, 21). Our “yes” and our “no” are to be precise and accurate (James 5:12). Source

Christian Street Preachers Enter Seattle’s Autonomous zone:
One was attacked ... 'Stop choking me!’
At the border of the autonomous zone, a man was armed with a .50-caliber Desert Eagle.
In the video, a man wearing a red bandanna on his face can be heard telling the preacher, “You’ll die out here bro. Do you wanna die out here?” The preacher responded, “Sin is worse than death.” The same people who protested police brutality in the past few weeks, especially chokeholds, were the same ones choking the preacher because he didn’t obey their orders. The preacher screamed, “You’re choking me!” One person in the CHAZ didn’t believe the street preacher should be expelled from the autonomous zone, and he was immediately called a “f***king Nazi sympathizer.” The man in the red bandanna screams at white people for “not being allies” in the Black Lives Matter movement. |
According to Andy Ngo, editor-at-large at The Post Millennial, a man stole the preacher’s speaker. “A prominent Antifa militant in the Portland area,” Luis Marquez, was at the autonomous zone. “The only time we are heard is when we burn s*** down. And if white America doesn’t want to get it right they’re gonna see more burning, more looting.”

Mainstream media downplays 'insanity in Seattle' 6-3-20, FOX NEWS -- Seattle protesters have declared a six-block area “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone,” aka CHAZ, blocking entrance with armed guards. However, the mainstream media doesn’t seem to think the lawlessness is particularly newsworthy. On 6-3-20, Weds CNN only mentioned “Seattle” once when discussing general unrest in major cities, MSNBC didn’t cover Seattle on-air at all during the same time period. According to Media Research Center news analyst Nicholas Fondacaro both networks finally addressed the situation early on Thursday, but only to comment on President Trump tweeting about it and the evening newscasts on ABC, NBC and CBS didn’t mention “autonomous zone” through Wednesday, He said, “It has been days since this nonsense had started and the broadcast networks -- ABC, CBS, and NBC -- have kept it off the air. The networks were busy trying to make the recent nationwide protests seem reasonable by ignoring radical provocations such as the 'autonomous zone.' | Anarchy in Seattle 6-1-20, CITY JOURNAL -- Seattle's hard-Left secessionist movement has claimed its first territory: six blocks in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. For the past week, Black Lives Matter and Antifa-affiliated activists have engaged in a pitched battle with Seattle police officers and National Guard soldiers in the neighborhood, with the heaviest conflict occurring at the intersection of 11th and Pike, where law enforcement had constructed a barricade to defend the Seattle Police East Precinct building. Hoping to break through the barricade, protesters attacked officers with bricks, bottles, rocks, and improvised explosive devices, sending some officers to the hospital. At the same time, activists circulated videos of the conflict and accused the police of brutality, demanding that the city cease using teargas and other anti-riot techniques. Then, in a stunning turn of events, the City of Seattle made the decision to abandon the East Precinct police department surrendering the neighborhood to the rioters. |
US In Moral Freefall
As Everyone Does What Is Right In Their Own Eyes
"In those days Israel had no king; all the people
did whatever seemed right in their own eyes."
Judges 17:6, 18:1, 19:1, 21:25; Deuteronomy 12:8; Psalm 12:4, 73:9 6-15-20, * -- The conclusion of Len Munsil, President of the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University comments: "The consequences of rejecting God's truth are undeniable. We know that what we believe dictates how we behave. Today, we are seeing the moral breakdown permeating the culture around us, and it is playing out with devastating consequences in our culture." The new Barna Group poll revealed 58 percent of respondents said they look to themselves or other people when making moral decisions. Less than one third said that they look to God of the Holy Bible. A total of 58% of U.S. adults agreed that identifying moral truth is up to each individual; there are no constant moral absolutes applying everyone; and sadly, 48 percent of adults who identified as born-again Christians agreed. The Cultural Research Center also found that the type of church the person attends often corresponded with their answer. People associated with a mainline Protestant congregation were most likely to rely upon themselves for moral wisdom (34%) Catholics were most likely to turn to other people (34%). Evangelical church attendees (72%), Pentecostal church attendees (70%) and born-again Christians (69%) were among the most likely to say God is the basis of all truth. Political conservatives were also most likely to rely upon the Bible (40%), while moderates (17%) and liberals (11%) were least likely, instead relying on their own feelings, beliefs, and knowledge for moral direction. Most troubling the moral views of the youngest generation indicate this downward moral trajectory and is likely to continue. Americans age 18 to 29 are least likely--only 15%--to turn to the Bible for moral guidance and instead look to themselves (29%) or to family (25%). This compares with about one-quarter of older Americans, including 23% of those ages 30 to 49, 25% of those 50 to 64, and 26% of those over 64. However, a sizeable percentage of young people still look to their family for moral guidance. It's important for parents and other family members to look for opportunities to share moral truth. | Dr. George Barna said that he was not surprised at the results of the survey as he has observed America's departure from its historic religious foundational moorings for decades he said: "The restoration of biblical truth can facilitate the turnaround of a declining society. It starts with churches relentlessly and consistently teaching biblical truth principles for practical application within all dimensions of life. It requires churches equipping parents to teach those truth principles to their children. It demands parents placing their young people in educational, relational, and entertainment environments where God's truth principles are respected and practiced. It advances by electing public officials who pass civil laws in harmony with God's religious Law. Restoring our foundations will be neither easy nor quick, but such a turnaround can happen if a remnant of God's people devotes themselves to such a process of cultural deliverance." Why Would God Spare America When He Did Not Spare Israel? God said: “When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered & the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; & the thief cometh in, & the troop of robbers spoileth without... & they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before My face. They make the king glad with their wickedness & the princes with their lies. V10The pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek Him for all this. v13 Woe unto them! for they have fled from Me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against Me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against Me.” Hosea 7:1-16 *Excerpted and adapted full original message from Prophecy Watch here |
'Gone With the Wind' fans march on social media to shame ban 8-28-18, USAToday -- The American movie "Gone With the Wind" is gone from a Memphis theater — despite a 34-year tradition — and now social media opponents are shaming its ban. The Orpheum Theatre canceled a long-running screening of GWTW because of "racially insensitive content" in the 1939 film, which won eight Oscars and was based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning 1936 book of the same name. The film's fans, free-expression supporters and Dixie sympathizers are furious about the decision and shouting out on social media against "whiny" and PC-obsessed liberals they blame for the decision they said:
| Why Orwell’s Book '1984' could be about modern times 5-7-18, BBC -- Audiences around the world are re-reading George Orwell’s novel '1984,' that is a handbook published June 8, 1949 about an all consuming overreaching big government. It speaks of totalitarianism and attempts to change the way people even think and remember history: Doublethink (holding two contradictory thoughts at the same time), Newspeak, the Thought Police, the Ministry of Love that deals in pain, despair and annihilates any dissident, the Ministry of Peace that wages war, the novel-writing machines that pump out pornography to buy off the masses: Orwell opened our eyes to how regimes worked as cameras were everywhere 'Big Brother' was watching 24/7. Today as we read the book we have anxious apprehension, using it to measure what our nations and the world have become. Prophetic? Possibly. But stirring, moving, creative, undeniable and helpful? Yes, as it was written out of the battered landscape of total war, in a nation hungry, tired and grey, feels more relevant than ever before, because Orwell’s 1984 also arms us. | 70 years after 1984: How today compares with Orwell’s ... 6-13-19, MilwaukeeIndependent -- George Orwell, published “1984,” now generally considered a classic of dystopian fiction in 1949. The novel tells the story of Winston Smith, a hapless middle-aged bureaucrat who lives in Oceania. Even though there's no laws, there's a police force, with posters constantly reminding that “Big Brother Is Watching You.” Smith works at the Ministry of Truth, and his job is to rewrite history and newspaper reports of the past to conform with the present reality. The society portrayed in 1984 is one in which social control is exercised through disinformation [fake news media!] and surveillance [now drones]. The techniques and technologies described in the novel are very much present in our current world. One of the key technologies of surveillance in the novel is the “telescreen,” a device very much like our own television. The telescreen displays a single channel of news, propaganda and wellness programming... *** NO laws in Oceania?? Big Brother is Watching?? |
