Churches That Have Abandoned Scripture Are On Road To Collapse
The overall picture is dire for the Episcopal Church -- at the current rate of decline the church will be empty by 2050. There is one overriding reason for this massive loss: People don't want to belong to a denomination that is Christian in name only.

Just A Taste Of What Will Happen To Our Economy If We Go To War With China

Chinese forces are gathering directly across from the Kinmen Islands.  Those islands are currently controlled by Taiwan, and China may be preparing a move to grab them.  If China actually does such a thing, all hell could break loose.  Taiwan could potentially start launching missiles at any Chinese units that try to invade the Kinmen Islands, and if that happens the Chinese would inevitably return fire.  

In addition, there is no way that the Biden administration would allow such a move by China to go unanswered.  Earlier this year the entire world was shocked when Russian forces moved into Ukraine, and we could be right on the verge of another historic moment that changes everything.

Of course we would not be talking about this right now if Nancy Pelosi had not gone to Taiwan.

Over the past couple of days, there is one question that I keep pondering.

Why did Nancy Pelosi really go to Taiwan?

Top politicians such as Pelosi usually have very selfish motives for many of the decisions that they make.

Does Pelosi think that this trip will make her look "presidential"?  Could she actually be planning a run for the presidency if Joe Biden can't do it in 2024?

She is very close to the end of her career, and so maybe she figures that she should give it a shot before she is gone for good.

In any event, Pelosi's stunt has absolutely infuriated the Chinese, and they are promising that there will be severe consequences for "those who play with fire"...

The Communists raged Pelosi's visit was a "serious violation" of their sovereignty and vowed to take "all necessary measures".

"These moves, like playing with fire, are extremely dangerous. Those who play with fire will perish by it," said the China's foreign ministry.

A lot of people expected the Chinese to respond militarily as soon as Pelosi arrived in Taiwan.

When that didn't happen, China was relentlessly mocked on social media in the western world.

But that is not how these things work.

Major military operations are quite complicated, and it takes time to properly coordinate them.

So it may be days or even weeks before we learn exactly what the Chinese have planned.

Meanwhile, the Chinese have announced that there will be a series of live-fire drills in the waters off Taiwan from Thursday through Sunday...

Beijing announced six exclusion zones encircling Taiwan to facilitate live-fire military drills from Thursday to Sunday, with some of the areas crossing into the island's territorial waters. The size and scope of the areas could set the stage for the Chinese military's most provocative actions near Taiwan in decades.

Separately, the People's Liberation Army said exercises could start as soon as Tuesday, leaving open the possibility of military activities around Taiwan while Pelosi was visiting. The operations include "long-range live firing in the Taiwan Strait" and "regular-guided fire testing in the eastern waters" off Taiwan from Tuesday evening, the PLA said.

And it was being reported that the office of Taiwan's president was hit by a massive cyberattack just before Pelosi arrived...

The website of Taiwan's presidential office went dark Tuesday due to an alleged distributed denial-of-service attack, with other government websites also impacted.

Tense moment: The attack took place hours ahead of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan. The Chinese government threatened to take action to respond to the trip, and Taiwan is reportedly readying air raid shelters in anticipation of a potential Chinese attack.

It would be wonderful if the Chinese stopped there.

Unfortunately, that is not likely to happen.

In fact, it is being reported that Chinese tanks are massing "on the coast of Fujian along the Taiwan Strait"...

A furious Beijing today warned US politicians they will 'come to no good end' if they 'play with fire' over Taiwan as video emerged purportedly showing tanks lined up on beaches opposite the island.

Chilling footage shared on Chinese social network Weibo appears to show amphibious tanks on the coast of Fujian along the Taiwan Strait. Further footage shows military equipment on the move in the city of Xiamen.

And another news source has pointed out that this area is very close to the Kinmen Islands...

And chilling footage shared on Chinese social network Weibo appears to show a column of amphibious tanks reportedly massing on beaches in Fujian along the Taiwan Strait.

Other footage shows a large amount of military equipment on the move in the province, including tanks on trains and columns of vehicles gridlocking Xiamen.

The closest point between China and Taiwan is the Kinmen Islands - which are around six miles east of Xiamen.

At this point we do not know if the Kinmen Islands will be a definite target.

But we do know that commercial flights have been "abruptly canceled from airports in several cities in Fujian province"...

In the last 24 hours, commercial flights have been abruptly canceled from airports in several cities in Fujian province. These airports include Xiamen, Fuzhou and Quanzhou. Xiamen Airlines put out a statement saying that the flight cancelations were due to "regional traffic control" and did not elaborate further.

We will have to wait and see how this plays out.

But without a doubt, I fully expect the Chinese to make some sort of a major statement in the days ahead.

And the Chinese military certainly seems to be shifting into full-blown war propaganda mode...

Chinese propaganda released yesterday showed off their military as soldiers in the clips vowed to fight to the death.

"We are fully prepared for any eventuality. Fight upon order, bury every intruder, and move toward joint and successful operations," the troops said, reports Chinese state media tabloid The Global Times.

"We are PLA soldiers, we swear to defend the motherland to the death."

Here in the United States, we are being told to disregard such "propaganda" and the "empty threats" that the Chinese are supposedly making.

But are they really "empty threats"?

What if they aren't?  What if the Chinese really mean what they say?

I think that something that Caitlin Johnstone tweeted sums things up quite well...

Russia: Don't cross our red lines in Ukraine or we'll take action.

US politicians: They're bluffing. Cross those red lines.

*Russia invades.*

China: Don't cross our red lines in Taiwan or we'll take action.

US politicians: They're bluffing. Cross those red lines.

Ultimately, the Chinese were probably planning to invade Taiwan fairly soon anyway, but Pelosi's visit certainly has the potential to greatly accelerate matters.

And even though Taiwanese officials are welcoming Pelosi's visit, they are also preparing for war at the same time...

Taiwanese defense officials have canceled the leave of some soldiers and officers "to immediately prepare" for the chance of war in response to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Asia this week, according to local reports.

Sadly, war with China is coming.

It is just a matter of time.

So what would such a conflict do to the U.S. economy?

Well, for one thing it would absolutely devastate the pharmaceutical industry...

Consider that Chinese firms are said to supply more than 90 percent of US antibiotics, 70 percent of acetaminophen (that's Tylenol), and almost half of the anti-coagulant heparin. "Are said to" because we struggle even to gather information on this because of the opacity of the Chinese market and state-dominated record keeping. 

Some studies suggest up to 80 percent of the basic ingredients in US drugs come from the PRC. China is also the second largest exporter of biologics and the prime source of medical devices per the FDA. In some cases, it appears that India is a prime source of a key import - generics, for example - but that masks the fact that India sources up to 75 percent of its own pharma ingredients from China.

The food industry would also be turned upside down.  In fact, it is being reported that "it is almost impossible to have a diet with foods that were not produced in China"...

According to CNN.com, experts believe that it is almost impossible to have a diet with foods that were not produced in China. Products such as chips and garlic are produced in China. Spices and herbs such as ginger and garlic are grown in China and exported to foreign markets. Chinese factories make vegetarian meat products. Many canned foods on market shelves were manufactured in China.

Our ability to produce our own food would also be greatly affected, because China produces so much of our farm machinery...

Farm machinery such as tractors, egg incubators and harvesters are manufactured in China. Chain saws, wood chippers and shredders are also produced in the country. Elevators and bulldozers are also assembled in China.

Are you starting to get the picture?

We should have never become so dependent on Chinese production, because it really is a major national security threat.

Of course the Chinese also produce a lot of our clothes...

Chinese factories manufacture winter coats, gloves, mittens and hats for consumers around the world. These factories also produce maternity clothes and infant clothes as well as wedding dresses and tuxedos. Underwear, T-shirts and slips are among the items exported from China to consumers around the world. Sports caps are also produced in China as are belts and bras.

And it turns out that 70 percent of our shoes come from China too...

The United States sources 99 percent of shoes sold from overseas, with 70 percent of those coming from the PRC. Same with 72 percent of smartphones. The artificial sweeteners in Diet Coke. Toys, furniture, sports equipment ... what you buy every time you go to Target.

The moment we go to war with them, the flow of cheap goods from China completely stops.

In addition, once the Chinese invade Taiwan there will be an absolutely excruciating computer chip shortage.

It was recently being projected that chipmakers in Taiwan would have a 66 percent share of the total global market by the end of 2023...

Taiwan's contract chipmakers will expand their global market share to 66% by revenue this year, cementing the island's dominant position in the chip supply chain, a new industry forecast shows.

As I have discussed previously, just about every industry in the United States relies on equipment that contains computer chips.

If the flow of chips from Taiwan is eliminated, the entire global economy would come to a crashing halt.

I am not just talking about a recession or a depression.

I am talking about an economic collapse on a scale that most people would not be able to comprehend right now.

This is a war we are not currently prepared to win and it's timeline just accelerated.

Has The Final Beast Empire Of Revelation Come Knocking?
News Image BY PNW STAFF JULY 06, 2022
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has declared his his support for a political union that includes not only the EU but also the former realm of the Roman Empire.

Though Britain left the European Union in 2020 in a move known as Brexit, some European leaders feel Russia's invasion of Ukraine has created a greater need for unity in the face of a common threat. A parallel organization would enable Britain to join without reentering the EU.

Johnson revealed his modern Imperium would extend from the UK to the Maghreb region of northern Africa and eastward to Turkey. He claimed he had come up with the idea "back when I first became foreign secretary" and that he thought "we should basically be recreating the Mare Nostrum of the Roman Empire." 

The Mediterranean Sea was given the Roman name Mare Nostrum when the Roman Empire ruled over most of Europe, the northern African coast, modern-day Turkey, and parts of the Caucasus.

French leader Emmanuel Macron has long championed a greater European political community and has been calling for a "true European army" since he took power.  Johnson's plan, however, sets out a much larger vision of who should be included.

Some of Europe's most prominent politicians have argued for years that to become a true global power, the E.U. needs its own defense force, one that is independent of the U.S.-European NATO alliance and does not rely on the United States.

Former President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, has suggested Europe transform itself into what he called a "superpower" that could act as a "global security power". He went on to say, "the Americans, to whom we owe much... will not ensure the security of the Europeans in the long term. We have to do this ourselves and the only way forward is to combine our forces and strengthen not only our capacity, but also our will to act".

Armin Laschet of Germany said recently that Europe must be strengthened "such that we never have to leave it up to Americans.

The idea of an EU army to defend Europe has been around since the days of Churchill and seems to be revived every decade.  While most attempts have failed there are some followers of Bible Prophecy who see the potential for a future 10 nation alliance out of Europe to fulfill the prophecies of the Book of Daniel & Revelation in which a 10 nation alliance from Europe (the Beast of Revelation) becomes the seat of power for the Antichrist on his way to global domination.

Some have speculated about whether these prophecies in Revelation refer to 10 nations, 10 world regions, or simply 10 leaders. When the European Union first emerged and eventually grew to 10 member nations, prophecy students were sitting up and taking notice, until the EU grew past 10 nations (current EU members total 27 nations). Then the excitement died down considerably as Europe failed to demonstrate any united military capability.

Now with talk of a fresh desire to expand European political and military alliances into most of the former Roman Empire, people are starting to pay attention again.  Especially as it coincides with so many other important prophetic events happening such as the shadow war between Iran & Israel, the players for Ezekiel 38 all in alignment (including Afghanistan thanks to Biden), the advancement of technology that could fulfill the mark of the beast, natural disasters, the global impact of disease, a potential economic crisis/reset and the list goes on and on. 

There are more questions and speculation than anything else at this point regarding the future of the European Union and recreating the Roman Empire but with so many prophetic events converging at this time it is time to be paying attention more now than ever before.  We know from scripture a final world empire ruled by the Antichrist will emerge.  It is only a matter of how and when.

For those wanting to dig deeper and have a better understanding of what the Bible says about the future we recommend the DVD series "Decoding The Future".  This DVD series will help walk you through the Book of Revelation in an easy to understand fashion that will familiarize you with the prophetic trends to be watching for the last days.  Available in our store here.

Global Digital ID With Real-Time Tracking Of Everyone & Everything Is Coming
News Image BY DIDI RANKOVIC/ACTIVIST POST JUNE 22, 2022

facebook sharing button Sharetwitter sharing button Tweetemail sharing button Emailsms sharing button Shareprint sharing button Print
The World Economic Forum's obsession with not only merely digitization, but digitalization as a means of tracking and control, is manifest in yet another document that has come out of the group.

This time, the WEF is joined by the World Trade Organization (WTO) in drafting their thoughts on what the future of trade, but also, when all's said and done - humanity - should look like.

The joint report, The Promise of TradeTech: Policy Approaches to Harness Trade Digitalization, came out in April, and addresses end-to-end trade digitization to include a digital ID certification framework that would, needless to say, be global - and apply to physical and digital objects, but also, people, i.e., natural persons.

Even now, when the pandemic, the supply chain mayhem, and many key geopolitical trends are showing that the heyday of globalization is over, this concept remains firmly embedded in the thinking of the Davos-based WEF, and, it turns out, of the WTO, also based in Switzerland.

The report explains the need to build "end-to-end trade digitization" - where natural and legal persons and objects are treated equally - with so-called identity silos, or identity domains, no longer viable. In other words, interoperable ID systems must become "global."

WEF's "spiritual leader" and its founder Klaus Schwab in 2017 wrote in his book, The Fourth Industrial Revolution, that people and movement would soon be treated the same as "any package, pallet or container" - with these physical objects at the time tracked only by radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, sensors, and transmitters.

That idea seems to have matured in the meanwhile with a number of digital ID and tracking initiatives that have come out of this year's gathering in Davos, and the new WEF/WTO report notes that not only movement and location, but also performance and contribution to "a global circular economy" can be monitored thanks to traceability.

There's also a name for what a future set on such foundations is likely to spawn: "digital dictatorships." Control and monitoring has been at the heart of any dictatorship since the dawn of time, and the digital world is providing more tools than ever to achieve just that.

The topic of RFID tags emerged during this year's WEF, held in May, a month after the publication of the report, and this time it was more concrete in the way the technology described as applied to humans.

Short of wearing tracking devices under one's skin, the next best thing - from the point of view of monitoring and tracking enthusiasts - is to place them "onto" people's skin, by way of the clothes they wear.

Active RFID tags send out a signal all the time, which is expensive but handy for real-time tracking, while passive tags are the less expensive variety often used in various packaging. What they had in common in the past is that they were clearly visible.

But there are companies now like Swicofil who produce RFID fibers and yarns that are "high performance" - and lasting a long time, since they can be integrated into clothing and are washable. In other words, not something you're likely to notice and peel off.

There are also those who already specialize in putting together RFIDs and biometrics, like facial recognition data. While RFID technology automatically identifies tags that are placed on objects, biometrics come in to identify the actual person, and reports say that this is used to automate employee monitoring.

Yuval Noah Harari, popular with the likes of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, introduced on the WEF website as historian and philosopher who co-founded Sapienship - "a multidisciplinary organization advocating for global responsibility and clarifying public conversation" in terms of technological disruption, ecological collapse and the nuclear threat, spoke in Davos in 2020, to share insights such as that those who have enough data about a person can "hack" their "body, brain, life."
Omnipresent tracking certainly provides a massive amount of data, including biometrics, while Harari seems to think that "reverse engineering" of human beings is what can easily happen next.
"By hacking organisms, elites may gain the power to re-engineer the future of life itself. Because once you can hack something, you can usually also engineer it," he said.

Are We On The Verge Of The Tribulation Described In The Book Of Revelation?
News Image BY BRITT GILLETTE/END TIMES BIBLE PROPHECY APRIL 18, 2022
After two years of global turmoil, people are starting to realize we aren't going to "return to normal." We've endured a global pandemic, widespread social unrest, vaccine passports, and compounding global supply chain issues. Now, we have a major war in Eastern Europe, fuel and food price inflation, and rumors of an impending global financial crisis. Everywhere you look, it seems as though the end is near. Is it? What does the Bible say? How close are the end times, the Tribulation, and the rapture of the church?

Fortunately, we don't have to guess. Jesus Himself told us how to recognize the general timeframe of His return. When the disciples said, "Tell us the signs of your coming and the end of the age" (Matthew 24:3), Jesus told them a number of things to look for. He then said, "When you see all these things, you can know my return is near. I'm right at the door" (Matthew 24:33). He also said, "When all these things begin to happen, look up for your salvation is near!" (Luke 21:28).

This means the #1 indication Jesus will return soon is all the signs appearing together. Both Jesus and the prophets told us what those signs are, and the appearance of just one is reason enough to take notice. But the arrival of one sign after another demands your attention. It's the sign Jesus said to look for. This convergence of signs is confirmation our generation will witness the Second Coming - not according to me, but according to Jesus.

The Convergence of Signs
So what are these signs? This article will only cite a few. These signs are undeniable, and their convergence should convince you the return of the Lord is close at hand. They include:

Israel Back in the Land - God promised to bring the Jewish people back into the land of Israel before He returned (Jeremiah 23:7-8). He said He would call them from "among the nations" (Ezekiel 39:28), from "the farthest corners of the earth" (Isaiah 11:12), and from "north, south, east, and west" (Psalm 107:3). He promised to welcome them home from the lands where they were scattered (Ezekiel 20:34). When they did, He promised to return and establish His everlasting kingdom (Isaiah 11:11-12).

The Jewish People in Control of Jerusalem - Jesus said armies would surround Jerusalem, destroy the city, and enslave its citizens. The Roman legions fulfilled this prophecy in A.D. 70. Jesus then said people other than the Jewish people will control Jerusalem for a time, until the Jewish people once again control Jerusalem. When they did, Jesus promised to return (Luke 21:24-28). Since 1967, the Jewish people have controlled Jerusalem.

The Gospel Preached Throughout the World - When asked about the end of the age and the signs of His coming, Jesus said to look for a very specific sign. He said the Gospel will be preached throughout the entire world. Every nation will hear it. And then? And then, the end will come (Matthew 24:14). For centuries after the crucifixion, the Gospel was confined to a small area surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. In the past two centuries, Christians have brought the Gospel to every nation in the world. Today, missionaries are in every nation. The Bible is translated in hundreds of languages, and the message of Jesus is sent around the world by radio, TV, satellite, and the Internet. For the first time in history, this generation is on the verge of spreading the Gospel to every last person on earth.

An Increase in Travel and Knowledge - Six hundred years before Jesus, an angel gave Daniel a special message. He said "travel and knowledge" will increase in the end times (Daniel 12:4). For centuries of human history, dramatic gains in travel and knowledge did NOT take place. Yet the last two hundred years have seen explosions in the speed and frequency of travel as well as the amount and availability of knowledge.

Arrival of the Exponential Curve - Jesus said a variety of global signs will come before His return and the end of the age. These signs will be spiritual, natural, societal, and political in nature. He said they will appear in a distinct way - "like birth pains" (Matthew 24:3‐8). This means the frequency and intensity of these signs will increase as we near His return. Our generation has seen the exponential increase in war and famine Jesus said to look for. In the 20th Century alone, more people died from war and famine than lived on the earth when Jesus spoke these words.

Israel Surrounded by Enemies - The Bible says enemies will surround Israel in the end times. Those enemies will say "Come, let us wipe away the nation of Israel. Let's destroy the memory of its existence" (Psalm 83:4) and "Let us take for ourselves these pasturelands of God" (Psalm 83:12). Ezekiel said Israel's neighbors will say "God has given their land to us" (Ezekiel 11:14‐17), and "Israel and Judah are ours. We will take possession of them. What do we care if their God is there?" (Ezekiel 35:10). Ever since the rebirth of Israel in 1948, the daily headlines have included these Bible verses. Israel's Muslim neighbors claim the land of Israel for themselves, and they have no regard for the God of Israel.

Israel's Exceedingly Great Army - Ezekiel said, in the end times, Israel will field "an exceedingly great army" (Ezekiel 37:10). Zechariah said Israel will be like a fire among sheaves of grain, burning up the neighboring nations (Zechariah 12:6) and even the weakest Israeli soldier will be like David (Zechariah 12:8). Since 1948, Israel has fought no less than four conventional wars against its neighbors. Despite being outnumbered more than 50 to 1, Israel has achieved overwhelming victory every time.

Rise of the Gog of Magog Alliance - The Bible says a military alliance that includes Russia, Iran, Turkey, and a number of Muslim nations will attack Israel "in the latter days" (Ezekiel 38:8) when God brings His people home from among the enemy nations (Ezekiel 39:27). Today, we see those very nations coming together for the first time - an alliance that has never existed in world history.

Rise of a United Europe - The Bible says a revived Roman Empire will come to power in the end times (Daniel 2, Daniel 7, Revelation 17). According to Daniel, it will be a ten nation alliance of weak and strong nations. Some parts will be as strong as iron, while other parts will be as weak as clay (Daniel 2:42). We see the beginning of this alliance in the European Union - a coalition of weak and strong nations struggling to stay together.

The Rise of Global Government - The Bible says a single government will rule the world politically (Revelation 13:7), religiously (Revelation 13:8), and economically (Revelation 13:16‐17) in the last days. It will rule over "all people, tribes, and languages" on the face of the earth (Revelation 13:7). Its authority will be so complete no one will be able to buy or sell anything without its permission (Revelation 13:16‐17). For centuries, a true global government was impossible. Today, world leaders openly discuss it.

Denial of the Signs - Almost two thousand years ago, Peter issued a warning. He said in the last days people will mock the idea of Jesus returning. They will make fun of those who believe in the Second Coming and say exactly what we hear today - things like, "I thought Jesus was coming back? What happened to His promise? Generation after generation has said He's coming. Yet, since the beginning of the world, everything has remained the same!" (2 Peter 3:3‐4).

The Hour is Late
Keep in mind, these signs haven't always been present. Generations of Christians lived and died without witnessing any of these signs. For centuries of Christian history, none of these signs were present. Today, they all are. Jesus said when you see these signs, you can know His return is near. He's right at the door (Matthew 24:33). In fact, Jesus said the generation witnessing these signs will not pass away before He returns (Matthew 24:34). So despite the skeptics and naysayers, Jesus is coming, and ours is the generation that will witness His return. The convergence of all these signs confirm it. 

Are We on the Verge of the Tribulation?
For many years now, we've seen the convergence of the signs Jesus and the prophets said to look for. Now, in 2022, we see a specific alignment of events that could lead to the outbreak of the Tribulation at any moment. These specific events are identical in nature to the events the Bible says will occur during the Tribulation. Whether or not these events are merely a preview of the events to come, or the actual events the Bible describes for the Tribulation, remains to be seen. However, keep in mind these events will roll out in the midst of the very season when Jesus said He would return. 

So what are these possible Tribulation events in the making? Here are just a few:

Central Bank Digital Currencies - Over the past couple of years, central banks have openly discussed the introduction Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). The central banks wield power over some of the largest economies in the world - the United Kingdom, Canada, China, the European Union, and the United States. Despite these public discussions, conventional wisdom says the rollout of CBDCs remains years in the future. The conventional wisdom is wrong. China has already released a digital yuan, and recently released digital yuan wallets for both Android and iOS smartphones. 

In March, President Biden signed an Executive Order titled "Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets." The order requires federal agencies to submit to the President within 180 days:

"a technical evaluation of the technological infrastructure, capacity, and expertise that would be necessary at relevant agencies to facilitate and support the introduction of a CBDC system should one be proposed. The evaluation should specifically address the technical risks of the various designs, including with respect to emerging and future technological developments, such as quantum computing." 

By September 2022, this technical evaluation will be complete. Then, have no doubt about it - once the next crisis hits, the U.S. will roll out its own CBDC to replace the dollar.

Why does this matter? CBDCs will be centralized, government-controlled programmable currency. This means if the government decides it doesn't like you for whatever reason (think Canadian truckers), they can cut off your access. In other words, you won't be able to buy or sell. Sound familiar? The Bible says the Antichrist will implement this same system. Those who refuse the mark of the beast will be unable to buy or sell (Revelation 13:17). We're now on the verge of a global rollout of a technology identical in ability to the mark of the beast technology the Bible says will dominate the world during the Tribulation.

World War III - The Bible says there will be a World War III (Revelation 6:4), and we're much closer to it today than when 2022 started and probably the closest we've been since the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. Every day seems to bring a new escalation between NATO and its allies and Russia over the latter's invasion of Ukraine. NATO has sanctioned Russia, is providing arms to the Ukrainian resistance, and many of its members have called for direct intervention in Ukraine. 

Even if NATO avoids a direct military conflict, all it takes is for Russia to make one mistake which leads to a deadly strike in Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, or Romania (all NATO members bordering Ukraine), and all of NATO will be obligated to respond. A full-blown war between Russia and NATO means World War III and the likely use of nuclear weapons. In 2019, the U.S. ran a war game to simulate what would happen in the event of a Russian invasion of Ukraine. The result was nuclear war with over a billion people dead. It's a stark reminder that, at any moment, the war in Ukraine could escalate into World War III.

Hyperinflation - In 2022, inflation has become a serious problem for almost every major economy in the world. The March 2022 headline inflation number for the U.S. was 8.5% - the highest since 1981. For the EuroZone, it came in at 7.5%. In Germany, wholesale prices rose 22.6% year-over-year. EU natural gas prices increased six-fold. Global oil prices rose 67%, wheat prices doubled, and corn prices went up 50%. Fuel and food riots have erupted in Peru, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan. And unrest is brewing in countless other countries as well. 

Could we be on the brink of hyperinflation? Maybe. Maybe not. But the Bible says the whole world will one day experience hyperinflation. When that happens, an entire day's wages will only buy enough food to barely survive (Revelation 6:6).

Global Famine - As we entered 2022, the world already faced a major food crisis, both in terms of supply and price. Since then, the situation has only gotten worse. The Russian invasion of Ukraine cut off Russian and Ukrainian exports via the Black Sea. Together, they account for 12% of all global calories consumed. The sanctions against Russia have compounded ongoing supply chain issues, and many countries have banned agricultural exports. Add in poor harvests, rampant fertilizer shortages, and an avian flu plague destroying millions of chickens and turkeys, and it becomes clear we're heading toward the worst food crisis in modern times.

In fact, it's worse than that. Famine is coming on a mass scale. We simply aren't going to grow enough food in 2022. The result will be a biblical famine. The only question is whether it will be one of the famines Jesus spoke about in Matthew 24:7 or the Tribulation famine of Revelation 6:5-8.

Jesus is Coming Soon
If the world stage is now set for the Tribulation, how close must the rapture be? The Bible says the rapture will take place before the Tribulation. Jesus promised His church, "I will keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth" (Revelation 3:10). If you're reading this and you're a Christian, your time on this earth is short. Your race (1 Corinthians 9:24-27) is nearing its end, so make sure to finish well. 

Live a holy, godly life as you look forward to the day of His coming (2 Peter 3:11-12). Take advantage of every opportunity to spread the Gospel. Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything Jesus has commanded (Matthew 28:19-20). The day will come when you will lose the opportunity to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. So do it now while you still can. Jesus is coming soon.

PROPHECY WATCH: The Destruction of Iran From Jeremiah Chapter 49
Jan 08, 2020 09:16 am
PROPHECY WATCH: The Destruction of Iran From Jeremiah Chapter 49
(OPINION) Christian Evidence – There is another prophecy concerning Iran that possibly precedes the Gog and Magog scenario outlined by Ezekiel. In Jeremiah 49:34-39, we are told that Elam will come under the judgment of God for conspiring to launch an attack against Israel in the “latter days”. Modern-day Iran is comprised of ancient Elam (about one-tenth) and Persia. This prophecy concerning Iran has not yet been fulfilled but seems to align with Iran’s current nuclear aspirations!

The End-Time Fire-Pot As We Approach 2020
 
Most prophecy experts agree that the birth pains began with the rebirth of Israel and have steadily increased since that all-important prophetic event. At some point the baby must be born. Things are truly happening at breakneck speed-right now.
 Breakneck Speed
 
I've been hesitant to write a prophecy update lately because things are happening at such a rapid pace that it is difficult to keep up with everything happening. Yet, this is exactly what Jesus said would happen at the time of the end. He said over and over again that he would come at a time when the signs were occurring in rapid fire.
 
He used the Greek word tachu (think tachometer) and various forms of the term. He wasn't saying he was coming "soon" as some translations render it, but that he was coming "swiftly" at a time with things were revved up-at the top end of the end-time tachometer, so to speak. We seem to be there now. I suppose things could rev up even more-but at some point, the tachometer is going to redline. 
Jesus also referred to these as birth pains. Most prophecy experts agree that the birth pains began with the rebirth of Israel and have steadily increased since that all-important prophetic event. At some point the baby must be born. Things are truly happening at breakneck speed-right now.
Snapshot of the Current Perplexity and Lawlessness
In the Olivet Discourse Jesus said the nations would have perplexing problems in the last days-problems they didn't even know how to fix. In the context of the aforementioned birth pains, he also taught that these (and other signs) would increase in frequency and intensity the closer we got to his return.

Unusual Seismic Activity On The West Coast Has Experts Extremely Concerned
The west coast never stops shaking, but lately the shaking has gone to an entirely new level, and this has many people deeply concerned about what may be coming.
 Last summer, a series of alarming foreshocks immediately preceded the two historic quakes that shook the Ridgecrest area in southern California.  But those quakes were nothing compared to “the Big One” that scientists assure us is way overdue.  

Someday an earthquake that is hundreds of times stronger will absolutely devastate the California coastline, and it may be arriving a lot sooner than many people think.  

Farther north, the Cascadia subduction zone is a ticking time bomb that could literally unleash an unprecedented disaster at any moment.  

What I am talking about is an event that will completely wipe out entire cities and that the region will never recover from.  As I have detailed repeatedly, authorities have warned us that “everything west of Interstate 5 will be toast” when an absolutely massive seismic event along the Cascadia subduction zone sends a gigantic tsunami sweeping inland.
And without a doubt, that day is coming.

Welcome To Post-Christian Christmas: Millennials Don't Know The Christmas Story
A recent poll discovered that 38% of Britons between the ages of 21 and 28 did not know the identity of the baby in Christmas Nativity scenes. Around 37% could identify neither Joseph nor Mary. Fewer than 10% could name the gifts given to Jesus by the three wise men and some even believed that Santa Claus was somehow linked to the Christmas story.
 A few years back, before we were married, my wife worked in the catering business. As the Advent season began, one of her colleagues asked her a question that floored her: “What is Christmas all about?” 

As it turned out, her colleague had never heard the Christmas story before. She’d never heard the story of the Lord Jesus in the manger, the Saviour born in Bethlehem, the shepherds, the angels—nothing. She had grown up in a once-Christian country without ever hearing one of the foundational stories of Christianity. 
The upcoming generations of the West are not only growing up in a post-Christian culture. They are growing up in nations where their families are often several generations removed from any semblance of Christian belief—and increasingly, any semblance of Christian knowledge.

Turkey's Turn To The Dark Side - A Very Big Concern For 2020
Erdoğan has warned that if the U.S. continues to "disrespect" Turkey, Ankara will seek "new friends and allies." Those new friends include Russia & Iran.
 While NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, celebrated its 70th anniversary on December 4, these days it is sitting on a different paradigm than it did since its birth in Washington DC in 1949. Three years later, in 1952, Turkey, along with its Aegean rival Greece, became a member.
In the 67 years since its membership, Turkey has moved from being a staunch ally defending Europe's southeast flank in the Cold War to being NATO's unresolved burden.
In nice, Kodak-moment speeches, optimists cite Turkey's unique geography, its airbases, it warehoused American nuclear weapons, its past in the alliance, its strategic presence in the Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea, its leverage on Muslim countries, a growing need to "keep the family together" and fear of losing Turkey -- especially to Russia.

The new Conservative government will make it illegal for public bodies to boycott Israel.

The policy was unveiled on Thursday in the “most radical Queen’s Speech in a generation”, which also included measures to toughen up criminal justice, invest in the NHS and deliver on the “people’s priorities”.

Speaking in the Commons, Johnson said: “One innovation that this Queen’s Speech introduces, is that we will stop public bodies from taking it upon themselves to boycott goods from other countries, to develop their own pseudo foreign policy against countries, which with nauseating frequency turns out to be Israel.”

Top Three Prophetic News Stories Of 2019
 As 2019 draws to a close, what were the biggest prophetic news stories?
 
 
Netflix: Turning Blasphemy Of Christianity Into Entertainment
Netflix has released a blasphemous "Christmas special" movie that depicts Jesus as a homosexual, the Virgin Mary as an adulterer who smokes weed and Joseph as a bumbling carpenter who can't build a table.
 The major entertainment companies in the United States all produce a relentless deluge of filth and garbage, but Netflix is the worst of them all.  
For years they have been creating vomit-inducing movies and shows that openly mock faith, family and traditional American values, but their subscriber base just kept growing and so they just kept doing it.  
Over the years, the general population has become entirely desensitized to the sex, violence and foul language that is peppered throughout our "entertainment", and that is extremely unfortunate.  
But what Netflix is doing is on an entirely different level.  They have literally turned blasphemy of the Christian faith into "entertainment", and apparently they believe that the American public is willing to accept this.

Confusion In The Church - LGBT Clergy Expands Across The Nation
This month the Evangelical Lutheran Church celebrated it's newly formed Westview Lutheran Church in Boulder, Colorado. At the head of that new church is the nations first transgender Latina pastor Nicole Garcia. Nicole is part of a growing number of LGBT clergy that has infiltrated the leadership of churches that have bowed down the altar of moral relativism.

Instead of provided clear Biblical answers to the cultural chaos, such churches have fallen in league with it by aligning the Gospel message to conform with a progressive message where feelings are emphasized over scriptural facts, essential Christian doctrines are open for interpretation, historical terms are redefined, and the heart of the Christian message shifts from sin and redemption to social justice.

Church Removes Adam & Steve Gay Altarpiece To Avoid Offending Transgenders
For many years now, the Swedish Lutheran Church has been decidedly liberal, questioning or even denying some of the most fundamental beliefs of the Christian faith. What happened this month however is beyond bizarre.
The story was so bizarre and preposterous that I had to check it on multiple sources to confirm its accuracy. But it is absolutely true, as far-fetched as it sounds. And it illustrates how spiritual apostasy leads to moral perversion. I'm speaking here of developments within the Swedish Lutheran Church.
For many years now, this branch of the Church has been decidedly liberal, questioning or even denying some of the most fundamental beliefs of the Christian faith.
In keeping with that "progressive" swing, the Church recognized same-sex "marriage" back in 2009 and has remained at the forefront of LGBT activism.

We all know some individuals who are so obviously good and kind that we are certain if anyone were to dislike them, that's all we would need to know about the person. We would immediately assume he or she is a bad person. To hate the manifestly good is a sure sign of being bad.
Such is the case regarding the left's hatred of The Salvation Army. You don't have to be a Christian -- I am not -- to appreciate the goodness of the people who run and work for The Salvation Army. 
They devote their lives to helping the poorest, the saddest, the loneliest and the most troubled among us -- completely irrespective of race, gender, transgender identity, faith or no faith. And they do it for almost no money. They do it because of their Christian faith.
They provide these downtrodden people with not only food and shelter but also human warmth and love. And they offer the people they care for the one thing most likely to get them out of their predicament: meaning. They offer it; they do not coerce it.

The Rush To A Cashless Society Plays Into Globalists Hands

A fundamental pillar of true free markets is the existence of choice; the availability of options from production to providers to purchase mechanisms without interference from governments or corporate monopolies. Choice means competition, and competition drives progress. 
Choice can also drive changes within society, for if people know a better or more secure way of doing things exists, why would anyone want to stay trapped within the confines of a limited system? At the very least, people should be allowed to choose economic mechanisms that work best for their particular situation.
This is NOT how our society functions today, and free markets do not exist anywhere in modern nations including the US. Whenever I hear someone (usually a socialist) blame free market "capitalism" for the oppressive ailments of the world, I have to laugh. The alliance between governments and corporate monopolies (what Mussolini called national socialism or fascism) makes free markets utterly impossible.

Muslim Community Patrol: Sharia Law Coming To Community Near You
image: https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/images/recent/muslilmpatroldec122019.jpg
News Image BY CLARION PROJECT DECEMBER 12, 2019
Share this article: 
"Bullying" and "gangster-like" tactics have been reported by locals in New York areas where the Muslim Community Patrol & Services operates.
These tactics are beginning to create a backlash against the self-described "civilian patrol organization" among local residents.
The Muslim patrol gained international attention in the fall of 2018 after several of its patrol cars -- which look like New York Police Department (NYPD) cars -were spotted in Brooklyn and Staten Island.
A little digging shows that the Muslim Community Patrol has an underlying agenda: to enforce Islamic sharia law first in the Muslim community and then in American community at large.
The patrol originally said its purpose was to serve as a liaison between Muslims and the NYPD.  But after two consecutive mosque shootings in New Zealand last March, where a gunman live-streamed his murder of 51 Muslims on Facebook, the patrol publicly altered its purpose.
It now describes itself as a law enforcement organization, claiming its goal is to "protect members of the local community from escalating quality-of-life nuisance crimes."
It's precisely that "law enforcement" definition that is now landing the Muslim patrol into hot water with New York City residents, particularly those living in the Brooklyn area of Bedford-Stuyvesant.
"They are bullying people and getting out of their patrol cars looking like gangsters," said one resident, who asked to remain anonymous. "The people in Bed-Stuy don't want them there."

In light of that, let me present what I think are the top ten Bible prophecy signs of 2019. As stated, I could present 110. In some cases, these signs are Tribulation-related events but they are still casting a shadow on the Church Age. 

They are not in order of importance because each item is important! 

1) The spirit of the Antichrist has been poured out around the world. 

In dozens of countries, we see anarchy, lawlessness, rage, and violence. It even came to the heartland of Minneapolis when President Trump spoke here in October. The area around the rally turned into a war zone. It is now cool to be a member of Antifa and to create destruction. 

2) The last year has seen the rise of Romans 1 behavior and thinking, the explosion of strong delusion, and the increase in the hatred of God. 

There is a collective shrug over things like "Drag Queen Story Hour." So what, yet this measures our decay more than anything else. A 6'5" male won the "woman of the week" award at the University of Montana--strong delusion.  

Millions of free Americans long to have our country succumb to Socialism and some are praising Marxism. Again, an irrational delusion.

The Western world now has a rabid hatred of God that would be unexplainable had the Bible not warned us that the last days would be characterized by this sentiment. First Europe threw God out and now America is close to it. This is again delusional thinking.

Seminary students in New York are praying and confessing sins to plants. How else can these things be explained other than the pouring out of strong delusion and reprobate mind thinking in these last days? 

3) In the last year we have seen a rise in a new world religion. 

The Pope of climate change has announced a global crisis. So will climate be the pathway to the New World Order? I think so. The NWO must have a crisis. It will ultimately be the Rapture of the Church but before that, their sky is falling with perceived rising temperatures. 

How does an autistic teenager take the world by storm just for having a climate temper tantrum at the U.N. in September? Greta Thunberg was named the successor to Jesus Christ by her home nation of Sweden. 
 
Understand she has a machine behind her--a globalist climate-alarmist machine. And this kind of radicalism is becoming a global religion. It will be a major component of the coming one-world religion. 
image: https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/images/ads/TPW_Paper_500x250.jpg



4) There is a stunning rise in wickedness. Yes, evil is to wax worse and worse (II Timothy 3:13), but it is now out-of-control. 

Voodoo dolls are sold in retail stores. Witches continue to try to hex President Trump as well as all Christians or conservatives. Today this makes headlines and is the lead story on Fox News. 

Walmart, Amazon, Target, Barnes & Nobles, and others, are selling the "Children's Book of Demons", teaching them how to conjure demons and implement them in their lives. They advertise saying, "summoning demons has never been so much fun." 
 
We learned this year that the drag queen story hour is really rooted in occultism. And the world's largest Ouija Board made national headlines. 

There are now more witches in America than there are Presbyterians according to the Pew Research Center. 

Netflix is releasing a new feature January 1 titled "Messiah" but in looking at the trailer, one has to wonder if it isn't promoting the Antichrist.

5) The mocking and scoffing of the truth has risen to new levels (II Peter 3). 

People who want to share the good news of the gospel or the hope of Christ's return have few who will listen and those who will listen shoot the messenger and the message like never before. 

Joy Behar on "The View" is acclaimed for saying Mike Pence has mental illness because he hears the voice of God.

Have you attended a good Bible prophecy conference lately? Understand these are just "hysteria conferences." Shame on you for believing that the King is coming any day. 

Just about the entire secular Left is mocking Christianity or coming up with new laws to undermine Christianity. 

6) Christians and Jews are on the run. 

Christians are running for their lives and Jews are running to Israel for safety. As The Gatestone Institute reports, the numbers of Christians being killed for their faith is "too many to count." 

Pope Francis just stated that fundamentalist Christians are a "scourge." Jews and Christians are the "people of the book" and the predicted last days' condemnation on both has risen to new heights in the last year. 

A pro-Palestinian group at the University of Minnesota, just 20 minutes from my home, just called for the slaughter of all Jews and had enormous local support. 

Anti-Semites like Rick Wiles are gaining in popularity as he calls the mess in Washington a "Jew coup" and blames the Jews for every problem in the world. He even says their goal is to kill all Christians! 

   

 
7) The "epicenter"--the Middle East--is in a shake-up. 

Vladimir Putin is now being called the new "King of the Middle East." Is this a foreshadowing of Ezekiel 38-39--the Gog-Magog war? 

The players in the Middle East are re-aligning according to the Bible since President Trump abandoned the Kurds this year. Even Israel was shaken by that mistake. Many Jews are asking if Israel is the next to be betrayed?

The constant turmoil is a foreshadowing and stage-setting of a foretold event, the obliteration of Damascus (Isaiah 17:1) likely followed by the Gog-Magog War. 

 We are just one election away from the complete U.S. abandonment of Israel if a leftist gains the White House. 

8) The efforts of the globalists were advanced in the last year. 

Pope Francis continued to beat a drum for globalism. Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu continue to represent the nationalist mentality and the globalists are trying to run both out of office. 

The United Nations called for global government in less than 12 years. 

Europe cries for no borders and liberals in America decry borders. 

The world continues to long for a single leader to make all things right as well as for global government. 

9) The Church of Laodicea blossomed and lurched even further to the left in the last year.  

Apostasy is talked about more than just about any other end-time phenomenon. 

Movements such as the New Apostolic Reformation gained new strength calling for Heaven on earth and emphasizing experiential Christianity. This is the fastest-growing "denomination" in the world.  
 
Social justice and "critical race theory" became prominent in the evangelical church that once emphasized soul-winning. 

Bible prophecy and Christian support for Israel fell deeper into obscurity in the church.

10) The surveillance of humanity is now big business and privacy is completely gone. 

New technologies have emerged that reveal our every step is now being tracked. Someone is following our every move online and our "smart" devices, that seem smarter than humans, are spying on us 24/7. This is a set-up for Antichrist's empire, as is new technology utilizing artificial intelligence. 

Limiting my list to just ten important items forced me to leave off events such as third temple talk in Israel, record-setting birth-pang natural disaster destruction, and the stunning "convergence" of things we have never seen so prominent. 

But, I hope I have helped you focus on "signs of the times" that are a herald of His coming in the last year. 

And keep in mind that many of these items are going to fully blossom in the Tribulation. What we have now is just a foretaste. God will spare His Church from this wrath as we are enjoying Heaven during this seven-year period of utter chaos on earth.

While it is a challenge to be born for such a time as this, it is encouraging to know that everything is falling into place just as God promised it would.

This Weeks Top 4 Prophetic Stories
Pope Francis Declares That Christian Fundamentalists Are "A Scourge"
As the Pope travels the world in a push to promote his "inter-religious cooperation" there is one group that he has singled out as not welcome - Evangelical Fundamentalists.
 Why does it seem like virtually everyone wants to attack Christian fundamentalists these days?  Two weeks ago, Pope Francis made some extremely controversial remarks, but those remarks really didn't get much attention from the mainstream media.  Of course if the Pope had targeted the LGBTQ community or some other favored group, it would have instantly made headlines all over the globe.  
 
But he didn't.  Instead, Pope Francis specifically attacked fundamentalists, and in today's world that is considered to be perfectly okay.  The following comes from the official transcript of the remarks that the Pope made on the 18th of November...
 
Beware of the fundamentalist groups: everyone has his own. In Argentina too there is a little fundamentalist corner. And let us try, with fraternity, to go forward. Fundamentalism is a scourge and all religions have some kind of fundamentalist first cousin there, which forms a group.
 
Ostensibly, these remarks apply to fundamentalists from all religions.  But by mentioning Argentina, the Pope made it exceedingly clear who his real target was.

A Whole Lot Of Shaking Going On: Mt Rainier & New Madrid Fault
Mt. Rainier and the New Madrid fault zone are both shaking, and a catastrophic seismic event at either location would cause death and destruction on an unimaginable scale. Mt. Rainier has been called "one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world", and scientists tell us that it is just a matter of time before a major eruption occurs.
 When that day finally arrives, Mt. Rainier has the potential to bury hundreds of square miles with a colossal tsunami of super-heated mud that is literally several hundred feet deep.  And since Mt. Rainier is very close to major population centers, we are talking about the potential for the worst disaster that we have seen in modern American history.

The Dangerous Progressive Christianity Message Of Mayor Pete
Pete Buttigieg may be a more dangerous candidate than most Christians realize. It was clear from the beginning that Buttigieg was going to use a progressive imitation of Christianity in order to attack his political opponents. In interview after interview, he has targeted Vice President Mike Pence as a Christian undeserving of the title.
 With the exit of Kamala Harris from the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, America has been given a reprieve from an utterly amoral and narcissistic politician who will do anything it takes to get to the top. 
I say reprieve only because I'm sure her campaign for the vice presidential nomination is already underway. She is also ruthlessly ambitious: Remember, this is the woman that took Planned Parenthood cash to fund her senate campaign, and while serving as California Attorney General ordered a raid on the home of pro-life journalists who investigated the abortion giant. She also began prosecuting them.
Harris was the candidate that worried me most, but that isn't saying much. All of the top-tier Democratic presidential candidates have stated that they will fund Planned Parenthood, force taxpayers to fund abortions both in the United States and abroad, and codify abortion throughout all nine months of pregnancy into federal law to ensure that Roe v. Wade will live to kill another day even if the Supreme Court decides to overturn the ruling.

The Last Acceptable Discrimination: Political Affiliation Bias
The bias against those who are not politically affiliated similarly is the last acceptable form of discrimination. It’s now okay and accepted by the masses, to treat other human beings as less than if they disagree with you on politics.
 One new study is showing that most are embracing this type of discrimination with extreme fervor. This discriminatory behavior thrives in the one area where it remains socially acceptable to judge people based on shared attributes: political affiliation.

The letter from 107 Democratic members of Congress declaring that Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, and much of Jerusalem, are illegal is wrong on so many levels that I wonder if even most of the signatories themselves understand the implications of what they signed.
 Members of Congress are busy men and women. I get that. They don't have time to carefully read every request that comes across their desks. They can't familiarize themselves with every nuance of the issue under consideration. They often must rely on their senior staff to provide guidance. If that's what happened here, then they received very poor guidance indeed.

Church Of England - One Step Forward, Two Steps Back
Widely reported in the British media last week was a Church of England "teaching document" on Christian-Jewish relations. The document, titled "God's Unfailing Word," was generally headlined as "historic": a long-overdue "call to repentance" for antisemitism, and acknowledgment of Christianity's role in the Holocaust.
 For several years I have been campaigning against antisemitism in the Church of England, my own faith community. Earlier this year I wrote an essay accusing the Church of institutional antisemitism. Some of the responses I received vindicated my accusations, including clergy blaming Jews for antisemitism, comparing Israeli Jews to Nazis, and comparing Israeli military actions to the Holocaust.

Space Wars: Satellite Warfare Could Be America's Achilles Heel
When the first Star Wars movie was released back in the late 70's, audiences imagined intergalactic battles taking place at a time far in the future - possibly a full century into the future. No one could have predicted technology would improve at such an incredible rate in the decades to follow.
 When the first Star Wars movie was released back in the late 70's, audiences imagined intergalactic battles taking place at a time far in the future - possibly a full century into the future. 
No one could have predicted technology would improve at such an incredible rate in the decades to follow. Here we are approaching 2020 and as the last Star Wars movie approaches it's release - we are reminded that a "star war" is a very real possibility.
Much of the technological advantage enjoyed by the United States and other world powers is owed to the use of satellites. 
Troop movements can be precisely coordinated with GPS, drones can be flown from bunkers on the other side of the globe, battlefield commanders can communicate over vast distances and high-resolution cameras can provide insight into enemy positions. 
We have become so dependent upon satellite technologies that without them it would be fair to say we would be "flying blind" both figuratively and literally. Some experts have even warned that our dependence upon them has created an Achilles heel due to their potential vulnerability to our adversaries.

 Nothing describes the social pressure to conform better than Hans Christian Andersen's parable, "The Emperor's New Clothes."
Do you remember it? An emperor hires two weavers who claim they can make a garment so fine it's only visible to the very wise. Of course, they end up not making any clothes at all. They pocket the emperor's money and send him on procession through the city naked.
No one--not even the emperor himself--dares to say anything, thinking if they do, it means they're fools.  Only a child is willing to shout out, "The emperor is naked!"
Each week, I come across a headline that makes me think, "Finally! This has got to be our naked emperor moment. Somebody is going to call this out."

The SPLC Strikes Again: Christian Zionist Group Dropped By Amazon
Proclaiming Justice to The Nations (PJTN), a Tennessee-based nonprofit evangelical Christian organization committed towards standing with Israel and fighting anti-Semitism, has been removed from the AmazonSmile program, which enables Amazon customers to donate a percentage of their purchase to their favorite charity.
 Proclaiming Justice to The Nations (PJTN), a Tennessee-based nonprofit evangelical Christian organization committed towards standing with Israel and fighting anti-Semitism, has been removed from the AmazonSmile program, which enables Amazon customers to donate a percentage of their purchase to their favorite charity.
PJTN president Laurie Cardoza-Moore told JNS that "all of a sudden, we began being inundated with e-mails from supporters whose AmazonSmile donations to Proclaiming Justice to the Nations had been repeatedly rejected. They were being instructed to choose another charity, despite wanting to support PJTN."
After reaching out to Amazon for an explanation--assuming it was a technical glitch--the retail giant informed PJTN that customers would no longer be able to donate towards the organization using the AmazonSmile platform, following the listing of PJTN as a "hate group" by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).
The SPLC, whose website says that part of its mission is to monitor domestic hate groups in the United States, has PJTN listed on its "hate map" as being one of 36 Tennessee-based hate groups. SPLC specifically accuses PJTN of being "anti-Muslim."
An email request by JNS to SPLC asking for an explanation about their listing of PJTN went unanswered as of press time.
When asked by JNS what would cause the SPLC to label her organization as being anti-Muslim, Cardoza-Moore responded, "Proclaiming Justice to the Nations exists to fight the oldest hate on earth: anti-Semitism. We were given no explanation as to why we were blacklisted. 
If our work highlighting anti-Semites like [Reps.] Ilhan Omar [D-Minn.] and Rashida Tlaib [De-Mich.] got us on the list, we'll wear it as a badge of honor. 
Despite the financial penalties that we are facing with AmazonSmile, will not be silenced for fulfilling our biblical responsibility to defend the State of Israel and Jewish people in the face of growing global anti-Semitism."
She added that "sadly, the SPLC lost its way long ago, becoming a tool to shame any organization that doesn't share their extremist agenda."
Cardoza-Moore says that initially, she thought it was a joke that PJTN had been placed on the SPLC list of hate groups alongside the KKK. However, she said that "I have now learned that this political witch hunt against those who don't share SPLC's extremist liberal views has been adopted as a religious doctrine by Amazon. This could dramatically affect our ability to raise funds and function as a nonprofit organization."
She added that it appears that Amazon "has become the nation's new moral compass powered by the subversive Southern Poverty Law Center. Charities should not be persecuted in this way; this has to stop."
An Amazon spokesperson confirmed to JNS via email that PJTN had been dropped, saying in a general statement that according to their policy, "organizations that engage in, support, encourage or promote intolerance, hate, terrorism, violence, money laundering or other illegal activities are not eligible."
The statement mentioned that since 2013, Amazon has relied on the SPLC along with the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (of the U.S. Department of the Treasury) to make its determination on which organizations are eligible for the AmazonSmile program.
Cardoza-Moore says that as a result of being dropped, she is calling on her donors to bypass Amazon in order to help support Israel and combat anti-Semitism.

Argentina's Spiritual Transformation - Evangelicals Increase, Catholics Decrease
According to a new survey, the number of people who identified as evangelical Christians in Argentina increased from 9% in 2008 to 15.3% in 2019. Meanwhile, the Roman Catholic Church of the Latin American country has lost a large number of members.
 The government of Argentina published this week the figures of the Second National Survey on Beliefs and Religious Attitudes. 
It is a detailed research which compares the social and religious evolution of Argentinians in the last 11 years (from 2008 to today). 
According to the data of this survey, the number of people who identified as evangelical Christians in Argentina increased from 9% in 2008 to 15.3% in 2019. 
Meanwhile, the Roman Catholic Church of the Latin American country has lost members. 
In 2019, 76.5% of the population identified with Catholicism, now the figure has fallen to 62.5%. 
The decline is starker if the Catholic affiliation is compared with the 1960 decade, when over 90% of Argentinians identified as Catholics. 
In contrast, almost 2 in 10 Argentinian citizens now say they do not identify with a religion (18.9%), a significant increase compared to 2008 (10%).   
DISTRUST OF INSTITUTIONS 
"The survey shows that the belief in God is at around 80%, but we are in a context of distrust in the institutions in general, a reality that affects religious organisations as well", said sociologist Fortunato Mallimaci, leader of the research group commissioned by Ministry of Society, Culture and Religion.
 "That could be what explains why 60% of believers admit that their relationship with God is managed on their own, and only 30% attend a church building".

Earthquake Activity In North America Continues To Rise

Why is the mainstream media being so quiet about all of the seismic activity that has been happening all across the United States?  
During the last 7 days, there has been an earthquake swarm directly along the New Madrid Fault zone, Kansas and Oklahoma have been hit by a very unusual number of significant quakes, and there have been several sizable seismic events in the vicinity of the Yellowstone supervolcano.  

But of course the west coast is getting hammered more than anyone else.  According to Cal Tech, there have been more than 1000 earthquakes in California and Nevada over the last week, but of course most of them have been very small.  Overall, the latest USGS numbers tell us that there have been more than 2,000 earthquakes nationally during the last 7 days, and apparently we aren't supposed to be alarmed by that.  
But could it be possible that all of this seismic activity is leading up to something really big?

Rainbow Wars - Student Suspended For Hate After Opposing LGBT Rainbow Poppy

17-year old student Natalie Salisbury of Manitoba, Canada decided to take matters into her own hands after LGBT supporters and teachers at her school, Stonewall Collegiate, began to circulate the idea of wearing rainbow poppies to show LGBT solidarity this Remembrance Day.
In an interview with The Post Millennial, Natalie says she disagreed with the decision to change the traditional red-and-black poppy used to honor Canadian veterans during the Remembrance Day holiday. "I typed up papers on a computer, printed them off, and taped them up in the halls."
image: https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/images/ads/970x250.jpg



The printed papers contained quotes from news stories and people on social media Natalie had collected of individuals expressing criticism of the rainbow poppy. Some of the quotes on the paper included:
"Never seen something so disrespectful in all my days."  "What does LGBT have to do with the war?"
"Red represents Blood, black represents widows and loved ones, Green represents land the blood was spilled on. NEVER change the poppy."
"You've got a whole month dedicated to the LGBT community, but the people who legitimately made a difference and died so that we could live decent lives have one day. You don't need a poppy, you just clearly want attention."
"One day to remember the real heroes how about we don't make it about your sexuality for once?
Natalie says she was just trying to express her beliefs and opinion on the matter but as soon as she put up her fliers teachers tore them down and had her report to the principal's office where she was accused of hate speech and endangering the physical safety of a group of individuals [LGBT students].

Instead, the board game now comes with a voice-controlled, artificial intelligence device shaped like a top hat to help control the digital transactions.
Countries from around the world have been eager to implement a cashless society but none have moved as fast as Sweden.
Notes and coins now make up less than 1 percent of Sweden's economy which is ironic considering it was the first European country to issue modern banknotes, in 1661.
"No cash accepted" signs are now the norm in shops across Sweden as payments go digital and mobile but many Swedes want to take it to the next level as they blend tech with the human body.

As Iranians took to the streets this week to commemorate 40 years since the U.S. embassy takeover in 1979, Iran announced new violations of the nuclear deal it signed in 2015. 
The rogue Islamic Republic admitted that it now operates 60 advanced IR-6 centrifuges and is working on a new type of centrifuge that will work 50 times faster than what is currently permitted under the deal.
This announcement comes after Iran has engaged in attacks on oil tankers and Saudi oil facilities, shooting down an American drone, and, of course, its ongoing and aggressive efforts to build a war machine against Israel in Syria and elsewhere.

Drag Queen Story Hour is a phenomenon that has been making libraries a cultural battle ground as it spreads across the nation but the progressive left has found new allies for promoting such events - the church.
The Park Church, a Lutheran ministry in Greenpoint, Brooklyn held it's first Drag Queen Story hour this week with Drag Queen "The Rev. Yolanda" who is known for her "Church With A 2 Drink Minimum" slogan at various spiritual events.

Perhaps Park Church felt inspired by Cincinnati's Mount Auburn Presbyterian Church which recently greeted its visitors on Sunday with Drag Queen "Sparke Leigh", complete in purple dress, makeup, high heels and a glitter beard.
Following the song "God Welcomes All" by the church choir, Sparke Leigh walked up on stage and called the children up to sit at his feet.  Rather than reading from the Bible, he read the book Pride: The Story of Harvey Milk and the Rainbow Flag .

Dangerous Trends: More Than Half Of Americans Want Government To Censor Speech

The results of a new survey are truely disturbing.  More than half of Americans want themselves, others, and the media censored by the government. 

Unfortunately, instead of learning from history, people are actually asking for a repeat of Nazi Germany or the gulags of the Soviet Union.
image: https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/images/ads/970x250.jpg



The First Amendment, which guarantees Americans freedom of speech, should be overhauled to reflect current cultural norms, according to 51 percent of the respondents to a survey published by the Campaign for Free Speech. 
The campaign is hoping to call attention to the dire state of Americans' preeminent civil rights with the poll, which breaks down opposition along gender, race, class, and educational lines.
History will continue to repeat until humans learn the lessons of the past.  Censorship is always necessary for tyranny to thrive.
The younger respondents were, the more they supported overhauling the law to restrict speech. 
However, college graduates were the least likely of all educational groupings to support the restrictions, indicating that the increasingly regulated speech environment at American universities may be backfiring in some cases and producing adults who cherish their rights because they know what it's like to be deprived of them.

Is Christianity Really In Numerical Decline In America?

Share this article:
Do recent polls really tell the full story here in America? Is it true that Christianity is experiencing a serious, ongoing, numerical decline? 
Those polls could well be accurate, speaking of a major spiritual crisis in our nation. But there may be a different way to understand what is happening, one that points to separation and refining more than to backsliding and apostasy.
image: https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/images/ads/336x280.jpg
First, let's look at the results of the most recent Pew Research Center poll.
As reported on October 19, "The religious landscape of the United States continues to change at a rapid clip. In Pew Research Center telephone surveys conducted in 2018 and 2019, 65% of American adults describe themselves as Christians when asked about their religion, down 12 percentage points over the past decade. 
Meanwhile, the religiously unaffiliated share of the population, consisting of people who describe their religious identity as atheist, agnostic or 'nothing in particular,' now stands at 26%, up from 17% in 2009."
Additionally, "Both Protestantism and Catholicism are experiencing losses of population share. Currently, 43% of U.S. adults identify with Protestantism, down from 51% in 2009. And one-in-five adults (20%) are Catholic, down from 23% in 2009."
Most significantly, "More than eight-in-ten members of the Silent Generation (those born between 1928 and 1945) describe themselves as Christians (84%), as do three-quarters of Baby Boomers (76%). 
In stark contrast, only half of Millennials (49%) describe themselves as Christians; four-in-ten are religious 'nones,' and one-in-ten Millennials identify with non-Christian faiths."
What are we to make of this? And do these figures truly indicate that Christianity is in numerical decline in America?

It is very hard to face the future when you don't have any hope.  Today, our society offers more ways to entertain ourselves than ever before, but it offers very little hope.  
Most people spend most of their lives wandering from one thing to another looking for meaning and purpose, and of course most of those journeys come up empty.

As a society, we are deeply, deeply unhappy, and this is especially true for our young people.  In fact, a report that was just released discovered that there was a 56 percent increase in suicide among Americans from age 10 to age 24 in just 10 years...
Suicides and homicides are on the rise among children, teens and young adults in America, according to a new report that highlights what experts say is a disturbing trend among the young.
The report, published Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, found that from 2007 to 2017, the rate of Americans ages 10 to 24 who died by suicide rose by 56 percent, from 6.8 deaths per 100,000 persons to 10.6.
Is anyone out there going to argue when I say that it looks like what we are doing for our young people as a society is definitely not working?

Dangerous Trends: More Than Half Of Americans Want Government To Censor Speech

The results of a new survey are truely disturbing.  More than half of Americans want themselves, others, and the media censored by the government. 
Unfortunately, instead of learning from history, people are actually asking for a repeat of Nazi Germany or the gulags of the Soviet Union.
The First Amendment, which guarantees Americans freedom of speech, should be overhauled to reflect current cultural norms, according to 51 percent of the respondents to a survey published by the Campaign for Free Speech. 
The campaign is hoping to call attention to the dire state of Americans' preeminent civil rights with the poll, which breaks down opposition along gender, race, class, and educational lines.
History will continue to repeat until humans learn the lessons of the past.  Censorship is always necessary for tyranny to thrive.
The younger respondents were, the more they supported overhauling the law to restrict speech. 
However, college graduates were the least likely of all educational groupings to support the restrictions, indicating that the increasingly regulated speech environment at American universities may be backfiring in some cases and producing adults who cherish their rights because they know what it's like to be deprived of them.

October 28, 1929 - 90 years ago today -  is known as 'Black Monday' in financial circles.
The US stock market had peaked the previous month, on September 3, 1929, with the Dow Jones stock index reaching a record high of 381.
But throughout September and October, nervous investors began pulling their money out of the market.
And over a three-day period in late October (including Black Monday), the market lost more than 30% of its value.
Ninety years later, I thought it would be prudent to look at three key insights from that historic crash, starting with:

In July, 2018, the University of Iowa and its officials restricted from its campus Intervarsity Christian Fellowship (ICF), along with some other religious groups. This was because ICF had the audacity to require that its campus group leaders were Christians.
Last week, "A federal court ruled University of Iowa officials must pay out of their own pockets for discriminating against a prominent Christian student group, calling the university's conduct 'ludicrous' and 'incredibly baffling' during a hearing last week."
Twisting the Meaning of Discrimination
The issue was that the university had no problem allowing secular groups on campus to make specific requirements about who could be in leadership. But when it came to a Christian group, to do so was considered discriminatory.

In a strange sort of way, a recent Sky News story reminded me of Luke 11. That's where Jesus asks, if your child asked for a fish, would you give them a snake? Or if they asked for an egg, would you hand them a scorpion?

Here's the article's headline: "Hundreds of young trans people seeking help to return to original sex." The story featured a woman who, after publicly admitting regret over her so-called "surgical transition," was contacted by hundreds of people in her part of England who felt the same way.

 

One of those people, "Ruby," also struggled with eating disorders. One would think that the combination of gender dysphoria and eating disorders would suggest to medical professionals that Ruby was suffering from body image issues. But, as she told Sky News, the doctors never even suggested there might be a connection there worth exploring.
Instead, it was "Here's your hormones, here's your surgery, off you go." Or, to borrow Jesus' words, "Here's your scorpion, here's your snake."

This story is far from uncommon. Young people in emotional pain and distress are asking adults for help. But, because of our ideological blind spots, we give them serpents and scorpions instead of what they really need.

Just consider the name given to a new children's pediatric clinic at Akron Children's Hospital: "Center for Gender Affirming Medicine." Since the fundamental connection between gender and biological reality has already been severed by our ideological commitments, it's safe to assume that doctors there will "affirm," both in their diagnoses and with their prescribed treatments, whatever gender a child claims they are.

All over the globe, the mood is turning sour.  Anger and frustration are bubbling over, and protests are becoming violent in major cities all across the planet.  In some cases economic pain is driving the protests and in other cases political matters are motivating the protesters, and it has been a very long time since we have seen so many angry protests happening all over the world simultaneously.  

Unfortunately, many believe that what we have seen so far is just the beginning.  Global economic conditions are rapidly deteriorating, and as economic pain intensifies that is only going to make everyone more frustrated.  And here in the United States, the drama surrounding the potential impeachment of Donald Trump is going to greatly escalate the political tensions that are already deeply dividing this country.  
No matter how things turn out, a large percentage of the population is likely to be deeply frustrated with the result, and that could very easily lead to tremendous civil unrest.
But before we get to Trump, let's take a look at what has been going on around the rest of the world first.  In Chile, we are witnessing violent protests unlike anything that we have seen in decades...
Three people died in a fire in a supermarket being ransacked in the Chilean capital early Sunday, as protests sparked by anger over social and economic conditions rocked one of Latin America's most stable countries.
Santiago's Mayor Karla Rubilar told reporters two people burned to death in the blaze and another later died in hospital, after the huge store controlled by US retail chain Walmart was looted.

Two close friends and I were recently discussing Kanye West's profession of Christianity, and one of them confessed that his initial reaction to the news resembled a dismissive gag. Mine, too.
Leaving aside West's unsavory lyrical legacy and life choices, the rap artist has a track record of taking up odd and counter-intuitive hobbies. Who can forget his MAGA hat phase, not nine months gone? Surely Christianity is just his latest gimmick to earn attention. We shouldn't take him seriously. Pearls before swine, you know.
My friend admitted that what shut his mouth in the Job-ian sense was the name of Kanye's new album: "Jesus Is King." Of the three of us, only one is a fan of the genre. I'm not likely to ever listen to any of the songs, except by accident. But as my friend put it after hearing that title, "Okay Kanye, you've got my attention."

Our discussion soon drifted closer to home. We have a longtime mutual friend who was raised in church but has spent the last five years professing atheism and living (or attempting to live) a profligate life. The nature of our group has always involved affectionate teasing, but at times, we probably stepped over the line with this prodigal pal.

Erdogan's Summit With Putin Should Ring Alarm Bells For NATO

With Turkey seemingly intent on forging an ever-closer relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the time has come to give serious consideration to Ankara's continued membership of the NATO alliance.
When the Turks first became members of NATO back in 1952, it was because their country was seen as a vital bulwark against the Soviet Union. Having Turkey in NATO meant it was easier to monitor the activities of the Soviet Black Sea fleet, and limited Moscow's ability to spread its tentacles into eastern Europe and the Middle East.
image: https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/images/ads/Jerry2.jpg
Now, thanks to the increasingly anti-Western conduct of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, none of these considerations remains relevant.
These days, the Soviet Union might be no more, but Russia under Mr Putin's autocratic rule is just as determined to undermine the West and its allies, and Mr Erdogan, to judge by his successful summit with the Russian leader on October 22 at the Black Sea city of Sochi, is proving to be Moscow's useful idiot in accomplishing these goals.
Relations between Ankara and Moscow have improved considerably since Turkish warplanes shot down a Russian military jet that had strayed into Turkish air space in 2015.
Thanks to the close rapport that exists between Mr Putin and Mr Erdogan, Russia's Black Sea fleet is able to operate freely, to the extent that Russian warships based in the area were used to attack rebel forces in Syria fighting the regime of President Bashir al-Assad.

In World War I, generals who studied Napoleon sent waves of troops into a barrage of machine gun fire. The rapid-fire weapons mowed down thousands in minutes. Was this necessary? No. Thousands of young men died all because their commanders focused on fighting the last war. They didn't adjust to new developments and new technologies. 
In World War II, the Polish army defended itself from Nazi and Soviet invaders with horse-mounted troops. They also focused on fighting the last war and were quickly defeated. A few years later, World War II ended when the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Japan. 
Ever since, most people have held the belief World War III will start the same way World War II ended. Anyone who believes this makes the same mistake as those who came before them. They prepare to fight the last war.
Complacency is the Enemy
Our tendency to focus on the past creates a sense of familiarity and comfort, and comfort breeds complacency. When it comes to warfare, complacency is the enemy. For over seventy years, Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD) prevented all-out nuclear war between the major powers. The world emerged from the Cold War intact. Following decades of uncertainty, nuclear war never came. We didn't destroy ourselves. This lulled many into a false sense of security, and complacency set in.

As those of you who read my rundown last week will know, the Democratic Party formally came out of the closet last week at the CNN LGBTQ Town Hall. They promised everything that was requested and more--Joe Biden almost took a lunge at Anderson Cooper at one point--and made it clear (if it wasn't already) that they have chosen their side in the culture war. 
The gay marriage debate is not about "equal rights" or "tolerance" or anything like that. It is about one side winning, and the other side losing. And in this case, the winners want to crush the losers, and the Democratic Party is eager to help.
This is not a surprise, in some ways. After all, same-sex marriage was only legalized across the US in 2015 and already we've got bakers, photographers, and other professionals being driven out of business, LGBTQ education being installed in schools right across the country, drag queens reading stories to children in public libraries, and transgender 9-year-olds showing up on CNN to wild applause and the warm support of Democrat who should be old enough to know better.

China's War On The Bible: If You Can't Ban It, Alter It

A recent article at WORLD Magazine reported how the Chinese-language app called "WeDevote" recently surpassed 10 million downloads.
That number, as well as the overall success of "WeDevote," is even more remarkable given the back story, one that illustrates Beijing's ongoing war on the Bible.
"WeDevote" is a Bible-reading and devotional app known for its "aesthetically-pleasing" design and respect for copyright laws, a rarity in China. The month after its launch, China's biggest app store listed WeDevote as a "Recommended App" right on its homepage.
image: https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/images/ads/Jerry2.jpg
The Communist Party's crackdown on Christianity in recent years meant that both the app and its developers faced increasing government scrutiny. Eventually, they were given a choice: shut down the app or face jail time.
Well, a third option, transferring ownership of the app to a Hong Kong-based company, provided a temporary respite from the ultimatum, but the government has now banned "WeDevote" from Chinese app stores. Though the developers are actively seeking some kind of work-around, it's a struggle to get the app in the hands of users on the mainland.
The government's shut down of "WeDevote" is part of a disturbing trend. Last year, China banned online Bible sales. Of course, that doesn't mean Bibles are unavailable in China. Chinese publishers continue to print Chinese-language Bibles. Some are exported, of course, but plenty remain in China.
That's good news. The bad news is that soon, at least spiritually speaking, Chinese-language copies of the Bible may not be worth the paper they're printed on. According to the Guardian, the Communist Party has plans "for 'retranslating and annotating' the Bible," in order to "establish a 'correct understanding' of the text."

This country today is engaged in the greatest war it has ever been in. It's not a war being fought with guns and bombs; it is a war of ideologies. It is a war of worldviews. It is a war for the very heart and soul of this nation. And, if we lose this war, we will lose America. That is what is at stake.

Before the United States Marine Corp sends our troops to the battlefield, we sit down and do a briefing. It's called a Five Paragraph Order. I'm going to give you three of those things today: What is our situation? What is our mission? How are we going to execute this mission for nothing less than victory?

We brief our soldiers to protect their lives. I do so now because there are many spiritual lives being lost in America today. They're called our youth. They are being stolen from us.
image: https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/images/ads/Jerry2.jpg



What Is Our Situation?

In our briefing, let's start with part one — our situation. We're being told by the public education system, universities, the news media, and unfortunately many church leaders, that parts of the Bible are not relevant anymore and that we need to reinvent God's Word. So, with this situation, in order to understand how to fight this battle, we've got to know what battle it is we are fighting in. What kind of things are we up against?
Let's start with a case study right out of 1 Corinthians 1:23. "But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block..." Notice preaching the cross and the resurrection to the Jews was a stumbling block. But, look at the second part of that verse, "...unto the Greeks the cross and the resurrection are foolishness." Why the difference? If we don't understand this difference, you're not going to know how to fight this battle. Why the difference?
In Acts 2, Peter is preaching to the Jews, and he preaches the cross and the resurrection, but they only call it a stumbling block. Why? Because the Jews had a common foundation and a common background. They believed in Moses and the prophets. They understood that there was a Creator God, so it was just a stumbling block. But, when Paul preaches the cross and the resurrection to the Greeks, they see it as foolishness. Why? Because they do not understand Moses and the prophets, and they don't believe in a Creator God.

When Israel's Enemies Endorse A Jewish Candidate

At a time when his presidential campaign seemed about to go on life support, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) was thrilled to get a boost from his party's rock stars. Just days after returning to the campaign trail after suffering a heart attack, the 78-year-old avowed Socialist received a much-needed shot in the arm when he received the endorsement of Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.).

Another member of the so-called "Squad" of Democratic left-wingers, Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, initially said she would join in the endorsement but pulled back at the last moment, apparently still undecided about whether she would instead back Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren for the 2020 presidential nomination.
image: https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/images/ads/Jerry2.jpg



Tlaib's dithering notwithstanding, the announcement that Omar--one of the country's leading opponents of Israel, as well as someone who has engaged in egregious anti-Semitic rhetoric--is "feeling the Bern" and putting her not inconsiderable influence behind his campaign is significant.
Many Democrats, including party chairman Tom Perez, have referred to AOC and the other three squad members (Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley being the fourth) as the "future of the Democratic Party." 
The willingness of so many to herald the fact that the most virulent backers of the anti-Semitic BDS movement chose him out of the huge Democratic field as their candidate makes it clear that efforts by pro-Israel members of the party to marginalize Omar and Tlaib have failed.
Nor is Omar the only Israel-hater that Sanders has embraced. As I wrote back in September, Sanders had no compunction about appointing BDS poster girl Linda Sarsour as one of his official campaign surrogates. 
Sarsour has attacked Jewish women for supporting Israel and engaged in her own list of anti-Semitic actions, including support for a hatemonger like the Nation of Islam's Louis Farrakhan during her time as a leader of the anti-Trump Women's March activist group.

Trump's Mideast Moves Show Why Israeli Deterrence Is Crucial

News Image BY EVELYN GORDON/JNS.ORG OCTOBER 18, 2019

U.S. President Donald Trump's latest Mideast decisions cast Israeli airstrikes in Syria and (reportedly) Iraq in a different light. Previously, these airstrikes seemed to be aimed solely at preventing Iran from establishing military infrastructure in both countries that could threaten Israel. 

But it now turns out they were also sending an important deterrent message: If Tehran attacks Israel, Jerusalem will have no qualms about striking back.

The conventional wisdom has been that even if these airstrikes were necessary for Israel's defense, they posed a real risk of escalation. And obviously, that remains a possibility.
image: https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/images/ads/Jerry1.jpg



But given Trump's latest moves, they may actually be making war less likely by letting Tehran know that Jerusalem--unlike, say, Saudi Arabia--won't sit with folded hands if it suffers a significant Iranian attack like last month's strike on Saudi oil facilities. 
The realization that Israel has both the ability and the will to hit back hard might well deter Iran from launching such a strike, even though it now knows that it wouldn't be risking an American response.
For this reason, much of the rhetoric about how Trump's recent decisions will affect Israel is overblown, even though the decisions themselves are unequivocally horrible. Strategically, the U.S. withdrawal from northern Syria abandons that area to very bad actors (Turkey and/or Iran). 
It's also a moral atrocity, as it abandons the Kurds to Turkey's tender mercies despite their having been America's most loyal and effective partner against the Islamic State. And it signals the world that Washington won't protect its allies, thereby reducing the incentive to be an American ally. Trump's inaction after Iran destroyed half of Saudi Arabia's oil processing capacity sent a similar message.
But even though Israel is always worse off when America looks weak or unreliable in the Mideast, it's in a very different position from either Saudi Arabia or the Kurds because it has always insisted on defending itself by itself rather than expecting American soldiers to fight on its behalf.

Don't blame me for writing yet another article on LGBT issues. Blame Beto. Or Booker. Or Biden. Or Buttigieg. Or Warren.
The democratic presidential candidates are pushing this agenda, and quite aggressively at that.
They're the ones talking about what the Bible allegedly says and does not say about homosexuality.
They're the ones threatening our religious liberties.
They're the ones wanting to indoctrinate our children.
All we're doing is responding.
They're the ones telling us we don't have the right to our biblically based beliefs.

China's War On The Bible: If You Can't Ban It, Alter It

A recent article at WORLD Magazine reported how the Chinese-language app called "WeDevote" recently surpassed 10 million downloads.
That number, as well as the overall success of "WeDevote," is even more remarkable given the back story, one that illustrates Beijing's ongoing war on the Bible.
"WeDevote" is a Bible-reading and devotional app known for its "aesthetically-pleasing" design and respect for copyright laws, a rarity in China. The month after its launch, China's biggest app store listed WeDevote as a "Recommended App" right on its homepage.
The Communist Party's crackdown on Christianity in recent years meant that both the app and its developers faced increasing government scrutiny. Eventually, they were given a choice: shut down the app or face jail time.

'Ideas Are More Powerful Than Guns' - Why The Military Isn't Enough

Whether fighting Islamist terrorism, white supremacy or Antifa, the military isn't enough.

It an undisputed fact that the United States has the most powerful military in the world. The latest estimates suggest it could take on at least one full-fledged war while maintaining smaller operations around the globe, although it may struggle to conduct a second war simultaneously.

With all that might, why is the war on terror dragging on?
Asymmetric Warfare is a Different Kind Of War
In conventional warfare, the main goal is to take and hold territory. Pitched battles, towns and cities and control of the skies are the name of the game. In asymmetric warfare, the guerrilla side aims to bleed out the occupying power through small-scale attacks.
Today it is very difficult for all but the most sophisticated terrorists to take out American soldiers. But it is trivially easy to shoot up a group of civilians at a cafe or a nightclub.
"The fundamental aim of asymmetrical warfare is to find a way round the adversary's military strength by discovering and exploiting, in the extreme, its weaknesses," Toni Pfanner, editor-in-chief of the International Review of the Red Cross wrote back in 2005.
"Weaker parties have realized that, particularly in modern societies, to strike 'soft targets' causes the greatest damage. Consequently, civilian targets frequently replace military ones."
Since that article was written, Pfanner's thesis has been proven time and again.

'Smokescreening' - Israel's False Friends

Share this article:
Smokescreening, the false pretense of friendship toward Israel, is a common practice. Practitioners include US Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, former US president Barack Obama, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. 
There is also a mirror phenomenon in which Israeli leaders identify smokescreeners as friends, as when Israeli president Reuven Rivlin called German president Frank-Walter Steinmeier a "true friend of Israel."
Smokescreening is a widespread activity in both politics and society, yet it is mainly looked at as an individual hypocrisy rather than analyzed as a systematic phenomenon. Israel is regularly subjected to smokescreening.
Sanders is a super-smokescreener. He claims he is 100 percent pro-Israel and says Israel has every right in the world to exist in peace and security and not be subjected to terrorist attacks. He also says the US must be more "evenhanded" in how it approaches the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The Biblical Edom Unearthed: Not A Myth, A Historical Reality

Over the years, many scholars doubted the Edomites even existed, at least as described in those biblical accounts. Well, these scholars were mistaken. Recently, a team excavating in Israel's Timna Valley found evidence of a "thriving and wealthy society" dating back to the 12th century before Christ.
