The World on the Brink of Collapse and Utter Annihilation

In the News an honest question echoed and reverberated in my head and around the world too, as to the why do these people in power here namely the Democrats who are full blown hard left radicals, hate America?

I’ll tell you; the long and the short of it, point blank, like a punch to the head, or a bullet whizzing through the air why they do!

They are Antichrist and filled with hate from Satan, who is controlling them now! They wanted “absolute control and power” more than anything, so the Devil gave it to them in exchange for their souls; and now they became so gloated with that Insane “singularity of purpose” that yes; they indeed became “possessed!”

Look at any of those “mean and ugly” people at the top, and all you see is “out of control selfishness and absolute abhorrent lies on top of lies,” which they have become; as “a group of people that serve The father of  All Lies,” the Devil!

This Nation under God, these “United States of America” is “The Crown Jewel” which Satan has wanted to possess and control on earth; because why else?

Since the “Founding Fathers those Geniuses” formed this “One Nation under God” the Evil One has considered how he could take control of it and bring ruin to something that began with “a call to arms” that “the enemy was coming” when Paul Revere made that historic ride on horseback shouting to the citizens of this “New Nation” in its infancy, “the British are Coming.”

Ever since “The Bill of Rights and the Constitution” were drafted that monster has poked and prodded now and again, “trying to create conflict within” with “all kinds of disruption, dissent, jealousy and hatred to tear it all up!”

In this present time there is one surefire means at his disposal to do just that; not only to bring down America but the entire world with the granddaddy of them all “WWIII through Communist China” which is demonically controlled! Do you see or read in the news where that polar opposite to America atheist CCP has complete control of that nation, which now even opened a so called police department in New York City!  What the hell is that Commie Controlled Evil Nation guilty of Genocide and “Crimes Against Humanity” doing with any police or military presence in our “Nation under God,” let alone to now be “interfering with our elections” via third party foreign contractors!  Yea, that is true; they are more than influence peddling, but, are now embedded in our American System for decades in the making, while buying up prime land all over the place along with that globalist psychopath Bill Gates!  “The takeover began in earnest now” and those Commies are not the British, they are much worse than any Red Coats were back in 1776 by exponential factors, in that they are possessed by Satan! They are part and parcel 100% Snake, derived from that “serpentine creature or fallen angel Lucifer,” who has not only entered the house, but, already has its coils wrapped around the hearts and souls of many key individuals throughout the US Political Power Structure of the Legislature, Big Tech Digital Media and the Military!

Dig it, I wrote this excerpt back on June 28th 2020 that now bites me on the ass making me realize I’m one of those Americans that allowed this!

“I just heard that a city council meeting may have started out with a prayer to Allah and Satan, which I certainly will investigate, but, I bring it up not because I already know that is quite possibly true, and because of what you mentioned already in your writing on the blog along with my own insights of how the Free Masons and Illuminati along with the Luciferians, and all manner of evil occult practices are thoroughly permeated into the fabric of our high-tech digital, AI networked global society, that has turned its back on Jesus Christ and thusly God the Father; with a rebellion I feel is not unlike the beginning of all rebellion, when Lucifer with the fallen angels rebuked and transgressed God.

I prefer to think you’re the one in the greater state of grace being truly inspired, but, I’m a hit or miss sort who wants to do better for God and do at times and then I allow the bad that has happened, to gain my attention and distort my feelings or clarity.  I mostly let anger get a grip and my blood boils, but, never to actually strike out at all, just only hurting myself with stress and worry which the Devil loves any of us to do.  It’s best to look at it like my father always told me, “they can do anything to this body and even destroy it, but my soul belongs to God!”  That sums it up as to being strong in one’s faith not letting anything come between us and God through our faith in Jesus Christ!  We just need to do the work and commit daily, religiously and even a regimental practice keeping our asses in alignment with His will.

“Stay Cool, Calm and Collected!”

What I admit here is I’m a very passionate and compassionate man, but, by the hand of the dirty crooked world I was damaged and because of that have some residual anxiety, which we all actually have honestly speaking if you’re a human being with a real conscience and feelings in these insane times, how could we not be stressed, sad and worried with all of what is happening in the world and even in our own backyards, it will surely take away your ease or true peace of mind.  So, besides having to survive day to day with the work and toil of the living, we now are faced with this added stress factor which is real and people can choose to ignore it or numb it, and the final option which I utilize is turn it over to the Lord with genuine humility allowing Him to manage it or even heal it giving inner strength to any who follow Him, to carry their own cross, and, this is indeed part of doing that which is mandatory in today’s Helter-Skelter Mad-cap World! 

I used to care what people think about me or want them to like me, but, that is so much vanity and is foolish to me now, I only need Jesus Christ, I have no one else anyway really, none of us do, because, we all face our own death with only ourselves in that moment of leaving this life, I know that, and this world means nothing to me.  I think I can safely say that I know what martyrdom tastes like up close and personal, it’s hard, but, Jesus is there to help.

“There are many who call me the Devil himself!”  Mind you this is a person in a government agency with a big responsibility to the public and all of the personnel that worked in that location; and this blatant arrogant vile statement was beyond the “Emperor having no cloths,” but, was telling me clearly this man was either demonically influenced with a network of the same within this overall organization to be so flippant and brash, or he was actually possessed!  He was even witnessed as saying he blames God for everything.  Me, the happy go lucky nice big brother to anyone was put in this predicament for a good reason, just like my Dad always said, there is a reason for everything!  My priest friend now, knows all of these things and not even family know the half of it, nor have time for it.  Some people don’t care out of selfishness and being somewhat weak, not having a strong enough faith that they practice.  I’m telling anyone who reads this I do it only for one reason, because, we are in the End Time and you better get your ass in gear to prepare your own souls for judgment; I know this is part of my duty to say this, and, I do hope in my heart I’m helping someone out there.

I had a few ladies lately speak about Catholics and how they being in other churches see this all as too much pomp or tradition and ritual!  I say this today to anyone that will listen.  Don’t you see how conflicted and sick humans are and how much sin they possess?  Do you really think you can skate though life and be devoid of making huge mistakes in your faith for Jesus?  I see the regimented doctrinal practice of faith as an only tool that keeps people on the straight and narrow, because, what did Jesus say!”  

“Enter the narrow gate, for the gate is wide and the road is spacious which leads to destruction, and many are those who are going in it.” Matthew 7:13

Here is the link to the whole enchilada as they say or my full spiel.

An Eye is Taken for An Eye-I see Trouble on the Way

Remember this brothers and sisters;

Matthew 7:14 “But small is the gate and narrow and difficult to travel is the path that leads the way to [everlasting] life, and there are few who find it.”

Someone wrote recently a thought they had which pointed out how an old now classic movie “Easy Rider” was more relative to this time and circumstance today than it was back when released in1969!  I say that is a true statement and think about it, how Drugs, Lies and Evil have taken hold of everything, even when it comes to babies in the womb which wasn’t an issue like it is now back then just before Roe/Wade!

Kinda Back to The Future on Steroids; those dudes had a premonition of the shit to come and didn’t even know as they tripped out on acid!

I’m more anti-establishment than I ever could have been back then in the years of the Hippie “counter culture!”  The World is so sick and fucked now!

The kicking God out of public schools and then the denigration of innocent human life was the “Canary in the Cave” Warning but too many didn’t pay attention or even give a shit because just like what Dennis Hopper said in this Film Clip!  Then they left the door wide open for the Devil to begin his assault and bring that “Atheist Empire” under his control to roost here in America!

“Tombstones in Their Eyes!”

“Man everybody got chicken that’s what happened!”

Kick Him to the Curb docu +

I know about that shit; I had this damned crooked system bite me in the ass and then try to kick me to the curb, but I said No Way Jose and fought back with all I had; only making out because Jesus Christ was there!  But who was really behind that personal attack and all the rest of this fucking up?  The Devil; that is absolutely what was behind it all, and still is!

God Almighty is the “Only” answer to fixing what is broken or having any chance of getting out of here intact! For our immortal souls to make it to heaven!

Think about it!

Back to the Future on Steroids!  Well now it’s actually Fentanyl.

Time is Running Out-Yea, Them Guidestones got Blowed-Up!

The Pusher Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You know I’ve smoked a lot of grass
O’ Lord, I’ve popped a lot of pills
But I never touched nothin’
That my spirit could kill

[Verse 2]
You know, I’ve seen a lot of people walkin’ ’round
With tombstones in their eyes
But the pusher don’t care
Ah, if you live or if you die

[Chorus]
God damn, the pusher
God damn, I say the pusher
I said God damn
God damn the pusher man

[Verse 3]
You know the dealer, the dealer is a man
With the love grass in his hand
Oh but the pusher is a monster
Good God, he’s not a natural man

[Verse 4]
The dealer for a nickel
Lord, will sell you lots of sweet dreams
Ah, but the pusher ruin your body
Lord, he’ll leave your
He’ll leave your mind to scream

[Chorus]
God damn, the pusher
God damn, I say the pusher
I said God damn
God damn the pusher man

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]
Well, now if I were the president of this land
You know, I’d declare total war on the pusher man
I’d cut him if he stands, and I’d shoot him if he’d run
Yes, I’d kill him with my Bible and my razor and my gun

[Outro]
God damn, oh, the pusher
God damn the pusher
I said God damn
God damn the pusher man…

Update: 1/17/23

My perception of a back to the future reality taking place on a global level is coming out as an accurate assessment being produced by the most sinister diabolical human beings to have ever lived on this planet; a now in the making of Hell On Earth paving the way for the antichrist to rule the human race into utter despair to ultimately be owned by Evil.

I quote a piece of current findings in this path to destruction:

“The origins of the World Economic Forum

The WEF was not the brainchild of Klaus Schwab, but was, like Facebook itself, initially a creation of the U.S. National Security State. The idea of the World Economic Forum emerged from a broader movement of technocratic post-industrial theorists in the late 1960s, whose chief concern was the use of technology to better manage future populations.

It was people such as Henry Kissinger, John Kenneth Galbraith, and Herman Kahn who, through the Nixon-era Council on Foreign Relations, first travelled to Europe with Schwab in 1970 to recruit the future membership of the World Economic Forum. The result was the first European Management Forum, as it was then called. Schwab himself admitted this in a New York Times piece on Davos in 1997:

‘I got John Kenneth Galbraith, Herman Kahn and a few other people I had met in Cambridge to come and explain,’ he said, and with a staff of two secretaries and an assistant he later married, he organized the first European Management Symposium in 1971. It attracted 444 business leaders, each paying a substantial fee.

According to the above article by John Vedmore:

Kissinger would introduce Klaus Schwab to John Kenneth Galbraith at Harvard and, as the 1960s came to a close, Galbraith would help Schwab make the World Economic Forum a reality.

Vedmore noted that Kissinger’s involvement continued:

Years later, Henry Kissinger would make the opening address of the World Economic Forum’s 1980 conference, telling the elites at Davos: ‘For the first time in history, foreign policy is truly global.’”

“House of the Rising Sun” video tribute

🎶 There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I’m one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin’ man
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he’s satisfied
Is when he’s all drunk

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun
Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I’m goin’ back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I’m one

Time is Running Out Fast for This Messed Up World-Realize the Suffering!!!

  1. See what Dennis Hopper said there in those prophetic words written for this movie, “Man everybody got chicken that’s what happened,” back in 1969 and now some man writing in response to a current news article about corruption in Congress just said this!

    “If all this is true, and has been known and repeated by many, and I don’t doubt one word of it, WHY IN THE HELL doesn’t somebody in authority do something about it instead of simply talking about it and then ignoring it. That is what is wrong with our “whiny, pansy” country today. Everybody knows what is wrong and how to correct it, but nobody in authority will do anything about it. When the top is crooked, they tell all the “pansys” to sit on their hands. That’s what “pansys” do!”

    Yup, I’d say that is all about chicken shit wimpy pansy politicians, who love to rake in the easy ill-gotten gains like Biden, Pelosi, whiny Schumer, mumbles McConnell and all the rest; but won’t lift a finger to fix the problem and do their damned job of Serving the People!!!

  2. Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 10: 37-42

    “Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;

    and whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.

    Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

    Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.

    Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is righteous will receive a righteous man’s reward.

    And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones to drink because he is a disciple – amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his reward.”

    I hope all of you out there can have the contrite, humble heart that is needed in order to allow God Almighty, by His Holy Spirit to take charge of your immortal soul and lead you to paths of righteousness, so that you will enter by the narrow gate into His eternal kingdom. Amen.

    God bless you all.

  3. A Lovely Evil World We Humans Are Manufacturing For The Benefit Of Elitists (PIGS)

    The New York State Supreme Court dealt a blow to New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ pandemic policy when they ruled that New York City cannot fire employees for not getting vaccinated against COVID-19.

    The court ruled that companies must reinstate all fired employees and grant them back-pay, citing the fact that being vaccinated against COVID-19 does not stop an individual from catching or spreading the virus, and thus being vaccinated does not grant enough community-wide benefit to warrant a mandate.

    The health commissioner “acted beyond his authority” by mandating the vaccine permanently opposed to temporarily.

    Back in early 2020 when I was stating from all the evidence I could dig up that the lying scumbag Main Stream News was burying or hiding I was immediately labeled what’s known as a “conspiracy theorist” and a bad person! Well to all those evil and rotten backstabbers I say; “Suck On It!”

    Here is more of what I published back then.

    “A specialist in biomedical data science and statistics, Professor John Ioannidis argued in the report that the response to the pandemic could be a “fiasco in the making” because global governments are making huge decisions based on data that is “utterly unreliable.”

    It’s quite clear that a large portion of the population doesn’t agree with various medical mandates, and wearing masks is one of those mandates. The reason is justified, and that’s simply because there is no evidence that they can protect the general public, and depending on the material, in some cases it can be harmful. I find it hard to believe that someone would have an issue with someone else not wanting to breathe in their own carbon dioxide, but I also understand that many peoples perception with regards to this pandemic has been severely manipulated.

    On the flip side, due to so many instances where things don’t make sense, this pandemic is contributing to another large amount of people questioning what we are being told and being forced to do by our government, this is causing a deep awakening of the masses. Perhaps this is the larger reason it’s playing out from a collective consciousness perspective.

    At the end of the day, more measures are continually pushed upon the population without their consent. We don’t have to continue to obey, continue to elect, and help maintain a system that is clearly not serving us to thrive.

    In the 1919 influenza pandemic, masks were available and were dispensed to populations, but they had no impact on the epidemic curve. At the time, it was unknown that the influenza organism is nanoscopic and can theoretically penetrate the surgical mask barrier. As recently as 2010, the US National Academy of Sciences declared that, in the community setting, “face masks are not designed or certified to protect the wearer from exposure to respiratory hazards.” A number of studies have shown the inefficacy of the surgical mask in household settings to prevent transmission of the influenza virus…

    A study published in 2015 found that cloth masks can increase healthcare workers risk of infection. It also called into question the efficacy of medical masks. You can read more about that and access it here. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4868614/

    The physiological effects of breathing elevated inhaled CO2 may include changes in visual performance, modified exercise endurance, headaches and dyspnea. The psychological effects include decreased reasoning and alertness, increased irritability, severe dyspnea, headache, dizziness, perspiration, and short-term memory loss. (source) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4868614/

    There are studies out there that also suggest that wearing masks can indeed help prevent Covid-19, especially in an acute care setting, it’s just that we are hearing so much of it that we forget to examine the science on the other side of the coin.

    The list goes on, these are just a few examples.
    Manufactured Panic?

    The next important question to ask ourselves is, are health authorities making this pandemic out to be more serious than it actually is? Many scientists and epidemiologists from around the world have expressed this belief, and many of them, as a result, have been censored by social media platforms. Why is there an authoritarian “fact-checker” going around censoring information, evidence, and opinions being presented by some of the worlds leading scientists in this area simply because it opposes the narrative given to us by organizations like The World Health Organization? (WHO)

    Are masks being used to prolong fear and hysteria?

    John P. A. Ioannidis, a professor of medicine and epidemiology at Stanford University has said that the infection fatality rate is close to 0 percent for people under the age of 45 years old. Why are we taking such measures for a respiratory infection when tens of millions of people get infected and die from respiratory viruses every single year?

    Why is there so much controversy surrounding the deaths? For example, in Toronto Canada, “Individuals who have died with COVID-19, but not as a result of COVID-19 are included in the case counts for COVID-19 deaths in Toronto.” (source)

    “Stanford Professor John P.A. Ioannidis, the co-director of the Meta-Research Innovation Center at the university, as well as a professor of medicine and population health, released an analysis on Tuesday that argued the world may be overreacting to the coronavirus pandemic.

    “A specialist in biomedical data science and statistics, Professor John Ioannidis argued in the report that the response to the pandemic could be a “fiasco in the making” because global governments are making huge decisions based on data that is “utterly unreliable.”

    “Ioannidis claimed in the report that the United States, as well as European governments, is likely to be overreacting.”

    “In the piece, published by STAT, Ioannidis argued that the virus has been labeled a “once-in-a-century pandemic” but “may also be a once-in-a-century evidence fiasco.”

    “China Is Hiding Something Big — Government Forces U.S. Journalist Out Of Country ”

    By Katie Pavlich March 19, 2020

    “Yesterday afternoon the Chinese Communist Party in Beijing announced journalists from the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post have been expelled from the country. Journalists who remain are being told to report to the Chinese government.”

    “All of these outlets were working on stories about the Wuhan coronavirus, which the government has repeatedly covered up. This censorship led to a devastating pandemic, which is wreaking havoc on the global economy as the virus continues its lethal path of destruction.”

    “This expulsion of reporters, who have been publishing crucial information about the virus, proves China has more to hide.”

    “The disinformation campaign that they are waging is designed to shift responsibility. Now is not the time for recrimination. Now is the time to solve this global pandemic and work to take down risks to Americans and people all across the world,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told reporters Tuesday.”

    The World Health Organization has been ridiculously anemic in its efforts to get at the actual truth and more interested in gaining political capital as well as mocking President Trump with the MSM and leftist agenda all heading toward the New World Order! We can’t rely any longer on so called authorities to be the mainstay of our factual information or aiding we citizens with “a concise factual presentation of the truth” in such matters, so, we all should be willing to keep digging for the truth, remaining vigilant in our quest to understand and act accordingly.

    You should be ashamed! Creating fear instead of reporting facts. Clearly the risk is too low to justify the draconian measures you mandate so you use all deaths to bolster your numbers!

    Dr. Ngozi Ezike, Director of the Illinois Department of Public Health, recently stated that, even if it’s clear one died of an alternative cause, their death will still be marked as a COVID death.

    The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment announced a change to how it tallies coronavirus deaths amid complaints that it inflated numbers. This has been a common theme throughout the US as well as the World.

    Vittorio Sgarbi, Italian politician Mayor of Sutri gave an emotional speech at a hearing on the 24th of April where he emphasized that the number of deaths in Italy due to COVID-19 are completely false and that the people are being lied to.

    This isn’t even the tip of the ice-berg when it comes to manufactured deaths.

    What’s really going on here? Is this actually about the pandemic, or was Edward Snowden right? That governments are using the new coronavirus to impose more authoritarian measures on the population, measures that will stick around long after the virus is gone? You can read more about his comments here.

    Was Dr. Ron Paul correct when he said that this virus is less dangerous than it’s being made out to be? And that people will profit both politically and financially from this in the form of more of our basic rights being taken away? Is this simply being used like the justification for mass surveillance was used? To protect the population, or is it for, as NSA whistle-blower William Binney says, “total population control?” You can read more about his comments here.

    We’ve Been Had; the Global Hoax

    I had this to say back in April 2020.
    Bill gates and many other extremely wealthy individuals have slipped into a time space concept here, black hole, which now possesses their every conscious moment above ground! That sentient power that many sense trying to take over is real but it’s a diabolical force of consciousness beyond mere human capacity and is working feverishly manipulating various key players in their giant global chess match which is bringing the human race speeding toward the precipice with one goal; to destroy it! It is us who are the prize creation of God Almighty the Creator of all things; which this alien and alienating force is countering with all it’s got to bring horror and ruin to all of this human civilization and possibly to enslave the human race gloating with defiance before the ultimate total destruction of life on earth.

    What’s really scary is how a sort of Trojan Horse operation is in place where we have evil minded enemies within that are out for blood and the heart of America to devour it and then spit it out; they are such vile contemptuous creatures! I believe the poison was injected into the society at large here over many years slowly then with Obama installed as the first “Fraud POTUS” and “True Enemy of America” they sunk their fangs in deep to inject the mesmerizing narcotic of seduction into the carotid artery then a pathway to the Aorta, Washington DC the seat of US Government Power, and this was achieved with carefully plotted schemes or smoke and mirror parlor tricks by means of the MSM and cultural shift rhetoric by social science engineers promoting appeasement and outright capitulation with its basis in the manufactured belief that the enemy is really a poor suffering peasant who is misunderstood and whom we should embrace; thus all of these Muslims or even Jihadists being given a blank check to nearly fill out as they wish while knowing full well their intent is to divide and conquer the American stuffed pigs(Infidels) in a bloodbath of slaughter when the framework is established to use our own system against itself, with all the preemptive rhetoric already in place about Islamophobia and minority discrimination or suppressed freedom of religion employed, in protecting them and their hidden agenda giving them privilege over the majority of Americans! Even if that religion states clearly they’re our enemies; and then to top it off they take an oath of office not on a Bible but the Koran which is fundamentally in complete opposition to Christendom and the Constitution; which is supposed to be taken to uphold and protect it and this Nation under God which the Founders of America based the Bill of Rights and US Constitution upon, the Judea-Christian God in the name of Jesus Christ whom all Muslims say was nothing more than a prophet or a teacher if that? We’ve had too many nefarious cohorts scheming or selling out for the almighty dollar for years while the MSM now drives their agenda to neutralize and overpower America from within; with what I can only term as Satan’s Venom, from the evil snake and serpent from hell that even tempted Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane! Doing it here with politicians and media puppets is “Child’s play” to the Master of all Lies!

    The Communist Chinese Government is like the H.G. Well’s Alien World watching the earth but in this scenario because China with it’s overwhelming human population and highly contaminated ecosystem have been watching with envy and carefully devising schemes and plans to take hold of America, and as in The Invaders television series plot take it over from within to become part of China. So, these jealously awaiting earthly enemies are methodically moving toward the time that they can slowly but surely ruin America from within, then make their move with most probable Bio-Warfare attacks to take over America and like the Invaders Show to make it their world! The Demorats waiting for the toppling of our system from within to gain the upper-hand with their nefarious partners, over “We the People” so as to enslave us like the “Planet of the Apes,” making us subservient to their Globalist ruling class will, and then with impunity crush all those who resist in any way. No freedom of expression or thought will be allowed under their rule once they are fully prepared co-conspirators with the Communist Chinese Government calling the shots, and then AI watching everyone! This is like a homemade ALIEN INVASION!

    Self-isolating the whole population is “grotesque, absurd and very dangerous. All these measures are leading to self-destruction and collective suicide caused by fear.”

    The virus expert who is one of the most cited research scientists in German history asserts that self-isolating the whole population is “grotesque, absurd and very dangerous”.

    All these measures are leading to self-destruction and collective suicide caused by fear.

    “This is the incredible tragedy, because all these adopted measures are actually senseless and meaningless.”

    “The life expectancy of millions is now being shortened because of this. The horrifying impact on world economy threatens the existence of countless people.”

  5. A long comment I posted on another blog site that was shutting down where the authors had a very similar mindset and outlook as myself; which does hopefully give added clarification to my more restricted use of my own site now. This came to my attention today by another bloggers commenting about my spiel or explanation here.

    Hi my fellow Christian sister and brother. Thank you for this fine message which interestingly enough came and coincided with exactly what my heart and mind have been aligning with as far as a true sense of purpose and direction in this world gone mad! I just thought early today how it’s not getting any better out here and is still incrementally getting worse, so I’ve decided this is the Lost Generation of all time and this world does not have much time as far as individuals making up their minds once and for all if they actually believe in Jesus Christ or they are just one of the reckless minions of this Modern Day Fall of The New Global Roman Empire!

    Yesterday in my local supermarket I did as I many times will do and struck up conversation with what appear to be decent folks like you or me and some that I know over time in the community; even store employees if they aren’t too busy. Because of my interest in serving God’s will in what I see as the “Latter Days,” I first check to see if they are interested and receptive to a bit of honest discussion about what we are experiencing in this obviously very sick world lately and get their honest opinions; to better equip me in expressing my own gut feelings and thoughts here in my writing. One of the persons I spoke to, a middle aged mother and grandmother was very candid and expressed how she thinks people are so stupid and that she is really disgusted with the human race, so much so that she wishes she could drop off the grid! I told her she isn’t alone for sure, and that a man I know that had a landscaping lawn care business who is a retired Marine Corp Veteran had told me several years ago how he bought a parcel of land out in the remotest area in our region and planned to end up there; which he just did recently, and did “drop completely off the grid” with his wife. In my entire life I never saw anything close or even similar to this overwhelming sense of defeat and loss by my fellow human beings and even devout Christians!

    Matthew 24:21-23 “For at that time there will be great tribulation, unmatched from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again. 22 If those days had not been cut short, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short. 23At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.”

    I’m someone who had my life altered by external nefarious forces acting upon it well over 15 years ago that were no doubt from evil origin, forcing me into as they say a hell-ride and I too was like many or most people, having taken some things for granted or having been mesmerized by the “great delusions, distractions, ulterior designs and massive deception going on which is all being driven by absolute evil through many persons with earthly power facilitating it! I did wake up and suffered greatly through this personal battle, when I had been anticipating things getting so much better and relaxing in middle age and beyond, but, this unexpected horror show was good in my case to set my mind and heart on a new course that would be more focused on “trying to make a difference” according to “God’s plans and wishes for me,” and so I figured it out, that I work on myself while simultaneously I can shine some light on something that needs to be exposed; with “God’s will being my compass” in this to help others see Truth; then I’m making a difference.

    But now I see where the corruption is so deep and so many are actually luxuriating in it or as you alluded to the idea of “worshiping things that are not of God” but of the Devil and selfishness! We are now as Christians in a place that is much worse than climbing a steep hill in our attempting to penetrate so many who will not see or hear any of it; as in most cases “they don’t even care” and I’m literally being setup to be stuck between a rock and a hard place getting nowhere at all, but, so much more frustrated and ill over the sorrow and pain of that which is enveloping the world!

    I try to encourage; like in my posting today, to tell people we can and must hang in there but to be honest nearly nobody is listening or cares. So just before I opened my email and started to check my WP account I saw your posting listed at the top and it “hit straight home” for me or the “proverbial nail on the head” like a “Godsend” saying , “yes it is time to reel in the effort” and tend to what’s close to home and my own heart and not waste so much energy or precious time with “a world gone mad” and “mostly not listening or even having heart about any of it,” it’s so sick and out of control; pure evil is rearing its ugly head everywhere now! Churches are contaminated and even elementary schools are also; so where is the true sanctuary in this world, where now “nothing is held up as scared anymore!” I’m not expressing true defeat but I am seeing “the writing on the wall” and how lost this civilization is now and I know it will get worse but hopefully sooner rather than later “God will step in directly to end it once and for all;” because in my humble opinion it must be ended!

    Evil is now running rampant throughout civilization and even given a platform as if to say; “here worship this because this is all there is, take it or leave it!” The WEF is literally saying that and states as you know, that by 2030 we will own nothing and be happy; if that isn’t Satan’s work then this all must be a mass hallucination and we will all wake up tomorrow! Biden who is linked directly to the WEF came right out and said as much about his agenda for America being like that, to more than half the nation’s citizens in his now infamous rant where he literally said, everyone has to fall into line with the plan; which goes back to what I’ve tried to tell people for years now, that he is absolutely tapped directly into diabolical evil straight from Satan himself!

    Nobody can prove to me that there are individuals that can put the clamps on this and control it to the point of saving America and the world, because I don’t see the potentiality of that at all now; save only through God Almighty and the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

    I would love to be totally wrong about this and have someone toss a wet blanket on my perspective but I know in my heart, mind and soul; that isn’t going to happen.

    I’m not going to withdraw from here completely but I am going to be much more limiting on what I do and with whom I engage with moving forward on this platform; I never wanted to be “a click bait follower” like multitudes are doing here online which is why I never had or wanted Facebook or any what is to me digital empire trash.

    I think any of us needs to pray more and be devout to our faith and serve God and His will through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.
    I will see what the Spirit instructs me to do and say moving ahead.

    Thank you for all of the work and effort you have put into this fine Christian News Advisory Site of yours.
    God bless both of you! Amen.

  6. Reblogged this on Zero Lift-Off and commented:

    First an excerpt from this article all of you should read and meditate on!
    “How can someone with so many followers and so many book sales be wrong?” It’s because of ‘itchy ears’, especially in these end times that Scriptures warn us of.
    Take a look on the horizon. Persecution is just around the corner for those who hold onto what the Bible truly teaches. Those with twisted liberal views will be pointing the finger at those who stand true with what the Word of God rightfully says and they will declare us ‘intolerant’. At that point we will become a threat to society and labelled ‘terrorists’.”
    I do see clearly and what is coming is so obvious to me! I also see a generation that is so deluded with itself and quite foolish playing with its toys and the games people play to gain one thing or another which is all for naught!
    “35For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and for the gospel will save it. 36 What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? 37Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?” Mark 8:35-37
    This while the manmade world and system is coming apart at the seams with vile corruption abounding from the top down and bottom up! So many running rampant trying to get theirs whether fame or fortune in this fallen material world! While those that have so much already like a Bill Gates into the billions of dollars, it isn’t enough, and so he schemes for more by even the death of other humans as he grabs more in this deteriorating, nightmare sick world that is ruled by the master of all deceptions; and to what avail when these lives we now have in the flesh are so fragile and short!
    “20But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:20-21
    Stop your chasing of your own tail as the saying goes and humble yourself to the all-knowing and everlasting God Almighty; on bent knee cry out in solemn prayer to Jesus!
    I’m nobody and I don’t want to change that even if I can because this life means nothing and what life I can have means everything so my greatest and really only hope is that I can make it to heaven!
    “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.” 1 John 2:15-17
    “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:2
    “If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” John 15:19
    “Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.” John 18:36
    “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” 1 John 2:15
    “I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.” John 17:14
    “Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.” Colossians 3:2
    “They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.” John 17:16
    “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

    Stay in the good graces of God and stop any self-worshiping you may very well be doing and seek only Jesus Christ and His kingdom to come; that is what you should want and see how vitally important it is that you not be caught unawares chasing folly and fictions to your own demise. Do this as you pray daily for your deliverance being sure to discern what is going on around you and in this world that is most assuredly heading toward DESTRUCTION! Wake Up!
    Take time to read this entire article as it will be helpful and enlightening for you! Amen.
    God bless you.

    “Here I am;” I just passed through that wispy whimsical wishy-washy realm of shadow and substance a transitional place where matter and time are one with energy, directly entering into uncharted territory and yes now that I stepped backward from the future perhaps only a day some may say, but nonetheless I’ve traveled through the Quadric Variances of time space continuum’s gossamer fabric, that thin veil between the past, present, and future which maintains the endless stream by which we all travel to our ultimate destination; that one final stop out there in the vast beyond where all things must inevitably converge, in “The Twilight Zone.”

  8. Is This Really America? Shocking Testimonial From J6 Political Prisoner Goes Mega Viral

    My take on this atrocity!

    This situation is beyond cruel and unusual punishment and in fact is torture, being all politically motivated which is absolutely something one would expect to see in Third World dictatorships or Communist China and North Korea! All this malarkey about Covid is just a huge lie, because its not any real treat at all, but was and is a globalist tactic that was unleashed upon the planet to gain the upper hand and Control, just like this example proves to us to the nth degree, as the authorities use it to manipulate these political prisoners as though they are in some Russian Gulag in Siberia!

    This all falls under the heading of Torture and Crimes Against Humanity! God will repay ALL those responsible for this whole affair; but I pray that the tides turn very soon to alter the political narrative toward absolute TRUTH, in order to turn the table on the wardens along with all of the many henchmen doing these evil things to other human beings who are American Citizens! This is being done solely for hate and their own evil political designs; while actual criminal alien invaders are pouring through our Southern Border some coming from as far away as Pakistan and given better treatment along with more American Citizen Rights as well as Privileges, that these Actual Americans are being robbed and stripped of!

  9. Luke 12:4-6 “I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. 5But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear the One who, after you have been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear Him! 6Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.”

    Matthew 10:27-29 “What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops. 28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 So do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows. 32 Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven. 33 But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven. 34 Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I came to SET A MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND A DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW; 36 and A MAN’S ENEMIES WILL BE THE MEMBERS OF HIS HOUSEHOLD. 37 He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38 And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39 He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it.”

  10. I got pissed off at Trump for ragging on DeSantis but I’ve been concerned about him even since he was the one who pushed operation Warp Speed and even recently taking credit and pushing the Jab which is a bio-weapon/hoax along with ventilators back when I knew they were killing people in the hospitals with them and remdesivir intentionally! He also couldn’t read the tea leaves of how Fauci and many in the CDC should have been canned immediately when they contradicted themselves and when Fauci was locking down the country; which proved he was part of a global conspiracy fueled by Big Pharma and the Globalists WEF! Trump was my hero but he is so full of himself and doesn’t take blame well or humble himself to learn from his own mistakes!

    He is one heck of a businessman and very bright but isn’t the genius that the thinks he is!
    I think too many conservatives have looked to him as some messiah but that is BS because that is a joke; nobody will be a great deliver now, as we are in End Time!
    Trump did a whole lot of good but nobody is going to fix stupid and the human race is off the rails with that! Too little too late and that is all she wrote folks! Waste of time! The diabolical have too strong a grip now and that is all part of biblical prophecy which we know doesn’t end pretty for this world! This battle is way bigger than the stupid people causing all this mayhem, aka look at Biden, WEF, Xi; and the forces of Good and Evil are about to duke it out Big Time!

    They do say that but that should tell you were we stand as a human race on the actual precipice overlooking hell! NOBODY on this earth is going to right this listing sinking ship; I hope you get that! Look around and see the stupidity everywhere with a civilization that is so lost and mesmerized with digital technology and triviality; and while most of the human-race is going moronic! Puffed up, materialistic, secular or even pagan, stupid imbeciles is mostly what people have become! Get real is all I can say! Read Scripture more too while you pray sincerely!

    This is what I’m saying and exactly where we are folks! The TRUTH is so apparent now so don’t be deceived! The deception is going to become stronger!

    2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 “and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. 11 For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie, 12in order that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness.”

    Matthew 7:12-14 “In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you. For this is the essence of the Law and the Prophets. 13Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.”

    And so many are going to hell because of this failure!! “disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness.”

    They will all get what they deserve and preferred; sorry to say more are going to hell than are not!

    Now some very important clarification will follow.

    Like

  11. We can also remember what a theologian/friend once told me while he was studying for the priesthood; that God’s judgment is great and perfect but his mercy is greater!

    Then recently a woman who is a member of a very devout and strict order of Catholic nuns explained to me how God has an “ocean of mercy.”

    As I see it we are all fallen from God’s grace and unworthy of being in the presence of absolute Holy God in His glory and perfection. But through the sacrificial gift of redemption through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ we can be made worthy by this cleansing of our immortal souls by the shed perfect body and blood of Christ. This is available to any of God’s children who are willing to admit all of their faults and sins with a sincere completely humble repentance from our deepest heart, giving our hearts to Him our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who redeems us into the glory and presence of our Father in heaven; providing us with perfect eternal life.

    I see as the best to me shining example of this; being what God illustrated on the day Christ was crucified and to his right side also being crucified was Dismas, while to the left was Gestas. Gestas mocked and rejected Jesus and all He was saying aloud directly to them, Gestas having no faith in the Son of God coming in this perfect human form as the Savior; the Sacrificial Lamb of God! But, Dismas was the opposite becoming thoroughly moved, ashamed, remorseful and sorrowful for having wasted his life and being a sinful scoundrel of a man who admitting from his own mouth and lips said he deserved every bit of the punishment that he was receiving, but that Jesus was who He said He was and didn’t deserve any of what was being done to Him on that cross.
    And here is what saint Dismas said; to which Jesus replied.

    Luke 23:41-43 “We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.” 42Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!” 43And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

    Parable of the Lost Sheep
    “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.”
    Luke 15:3-7

    High-Level Takeaway:
    “Although it may not seem sensible to leave 99 sheep to go search for 1 lost sheep, the shepherd knew the 99 would be safe within the sheepfold, and it was the 1 that was lost that was in critical danger. Also, each sheep was of significant value, so the shepherd knew that finding the lost sheep was worth his time. Similarly, God’s love for each of us is so great that he seeks each of us and rejoices each time one of us is “found.” Like sheep, when we are “lost” (lost in sin) we are in critical danger, and Jesus is our good shepherd who seeks us and saves us!”

    Parable of the Lost Sheep (a “Deeper Dive” Commentary)
    “In Luke 15:3-7 and Matthew 18: 10-14, Jesus taught His disciples a simple story to illustrate a spiritual truth. Jesus taught about a shepherd who had 100 sheep, and one of the sheep wondered off by itself. The sheep was lost; the word “lost” is the same word that means “perish.” In other words, in great danger, headed for destruction, because it had left the safely of shepherd’s flock. A shepherd knows all of his sheep and is concerned about the condition of every one of them. He decides to go after that sheep and save it, because it went astray!”

    “God knows whether people are saved or lost, he knows the condition of every lost soul and devised a plan to do something about it. He sent his only begotten son, Jesus Christ, to pay the penalty for their sins so they wouldn’t have to be punished. By coming to earth as a human being, Jesus died on a cross to reconcile us to a Holy God, because we were spiritually separated from Him due to our sinful nature inherited from our natural parents.”

    “That lost sheep in the story may have wandered away from the shepherd, but because the shepherd is a “good” shepherd who loves and cares about his sheep, he went looking for it. Another shepherd might have counted the 99 and decided it wouldn’t be worth his trouble, and the time it would cost him to go after just one dumb sheep. But Jesus is not like that, He is the “Good Shepherd” who came to this world to give His life because He cares about us.”

    “The shepherd in this story didn’t stop until his mission had been completed and the sheep had been found! The final words that Jesus cried out on a cross when He was crucified was “It is finished.” The Good Shepherd perfectly fulfilled His mission, and all those who believe in what He did for them by shedding His sinless blood are saved, adopted into God’s family, and guaranteed a home in Heaven. The sheep that was lost was now found, saved because of what the Good Shepherd did for it. The word “saved” means “to rescue from all harm.” That’s what Jesus, the Great Shepherd, did for all of us to deliver us from the penalty and power of sin.”

    “By believing that fact, God declares us righteous, meaning just as if we had never sinned at all, which gives us the legal right to make us fit to enter a holy heaven.”

    “That sheep in this story may have been dumb enough to have wandered away from the flock, but getting it home was the responsibility of that good shepherd who owned it.”

    “When the good shepherd found that sheep, he saved it and brought it home where it belongs. Jesus said in John 10:28, I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. True believers in Christ are described by Jesus as sheep; the Lord’s sheep are saved by God’s gift of undeserved grace.”

    “Jesus said he came into this world to “seek and to save that which is lost.” You don’t need to worry about being lost ever again, just as long as you place your faith in Jesus Christ.”

    “The Bible makes it clear that all the angels in heaven rejoice over every sinner who comes to Jesus by faith that secures eternal salvation for their lost soul.”

    “Because of that new spiritual rebirth, our relationship with Christ restores fellowship between a Holy God and lost sinners.”

    “Are you in a relationship with the Good Shepherd? or are you still lost? If so, then you can be saved, but only if you come to the one who can help you, and who died for you to take away your sins. His name is Jesus Christ.”

  12. I repeat here what I said on another author’s blog post about trans-humanism and the whole Klaus Schwab WEF Global Reset and 4th Industrial Revolution coupled with the Information Highway rubbish!

    I’m more than happy to offer what I can here as I’m very pleased to find your writing to be something grounded in God’s truth and deserving of my respect and time to be quite frank! I’ve found over the last few years how wasteful the internet or digital realm or medium can actually be taking far too many hours of precious time and tossing it into cyberspace with little to no actual net improvement or essential value at the end of the day just a frittering away of life! I recently had this image of little old ladies or men sitting at one arm bandits in the big casino just chasing the big win akin to chasing shadows but they have this compulsion or addiction to dropping more of their needed resources into the machine and pulling that lever again and again like automatons; the digital realm is that kind of place for the most part. If used only as a tool with sensible restriction it has some basic value; but as my dad always taught people are meant to be out in the real world working and accomplishing meaningful useful tasks like making a living or earning one’s keep!
    And as far as the dark side of all this digital technology the bad guys are even out in the open stating their intentions and plans for mankind and it’s all evil! I hate to be too cliché but the proverbial cat is out of the bag and running hog-wild causing an accelerated mayhem and pending demise!

    Sorry to carry on here but I just wanted to share his additional commentary I just made on another site that correlates concisely here as well!

    Glad to offer what I can to help. To be frank though a majority of people are convinced the digital arena is awesome; I do not think that at all. Contrary to that opinion I’ve observed and learned that this so called information highway has created a log jam or flood of extraneous data in people’s faces continually. Akin to what they used to say about television several decades ago calling it the “boob-tube,” which is exponential in this digital realm and it conditions, manipulates, distorts reality, mesmerizes and even confuses many or let’s say clutters minds with the unessential! As the old adage goes “too much of a good thing,” generally “isn’t good” as it ends up doing harm! And look around to see plainly it does apply here; which to me is like the double edged sword aspect of mankind’s technological advancements, and there is always a trade-off eventually, especially when we put away perhaps the “tried, tested and proven or established ways of many past generations of those often “solid traditional truths!” Only to replace them with something “totally different” perhaps even “radically” so, a new something that has many bells and whistles that tantalize or seduce, and like another old adage states how, “all that glitters is not gold,” so is fake! I think mankind has leaped into a more complicated “Pandora’s Box” leaving behind the “basic simplicity” of just “living and being a simple humble human being,” that “God intended,” and now has ventured into places better left alone! My point is things will only get worse as time marches on, but, there will be a real breaking point; that “straw that breaks the camel’s back,” and it won’t end pretty!

    God bless!

  13. “Election Judge Confesses: Machines Were Set Up Intentionally To Reject Ballots”
    https://billingsreport.com/author/steven/

    After reading this article I had the following to say!

    Correct and consider this; Albert Einstein once said “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

    So it looks obvious to me that we have a load of insane people in America or just too damned lazy to fight for the right causes but they would rather complain about triviality! In other words too many messed up heads running loose here; very “weak minded and immoral” people!

    Why did our Constitutional Republic allow God to be kicked out of the schools; even a moment of prayer? So schools could breed more dysfunctional immoral citizens that would rather go along with sin and vice than do anything virtuous and in accordance with what our Founding Father’s framed the Constitution in; God!

    If you think I’m wrong go look up what actual letters and statements the Founders wrote to one another during the time they drafted the Bill of Rights and the Constitution; they all at times mention God and how it is He who guides them!

    The current environment in America not only favors corruption and underhandedness but it actually invites it, thus the Democrat party of thieves and liars along with the RINO’s are destroying what good had existed here back in the day!

    I’m sorry to say that NOBODY is going to save the day other than “We the People” taking a stand and solving this massive problem once and for all! And yes it requires arresting, trying and hanging many traitors or even an outright civil war; I fear anything short of those options is just kicking the can down the road for more of the same and much worse to come; when China will own us via the evil Democrat&Rino traitors selling our Nation out for personal wealth and power!

    Ponder these echoing words from a great mind and soul of the past in America!

    “When the Constitutional Convention of 1787 bogged down over the issue of representation in the new Congress, Benjamin Franklin called a halt to the rancor and implored his fellows to turn their faces to God for assistance.”

    “I have lived, sir, a long time; and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men! And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid? —We have been assured, sir, in the sacred writings that, ‘except the Lord build the house they labor in vain that build it.’ I firmly believe this; and I also believe, that without his concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel: We shall be divided by our little partial local interests, our projects will be confounded, and we ourselves shall be become a reproach and a by-word down to future ages…
    I therefore beg leave to move, that henceforth prayers, imploring the assistance of heaven, and its blessings on our deliberations, be held in this assembly every morning before we proceed to business; and that one or more of the clergy of this city be requested to officiate in that service.”
    Amen.

  14. The liberal woke progressive American Marxist has been allowed to propagate because the weak kneed Republican politicians in Washington, as I see it even as a sheer example for me former VP Pence projects this idea as he like so many so called Republicans think they can hedge their bets to stay in office by playing middle of the road and be tolerant or “NICE.” The root of the word nice goes back to meaning foolish and stupid which is just what they’ve been allowing the entire nation to decay and regress into; anarchy! “Nice, it turns out, began as a negative term derived from the Latin nescius, meaning “unaware, ignorant.” This sense of “ignorant” was carried over into English when the word was first borrowed (via French) in the early 1300s. And for almost a century, nice was used to characterize a “stupid, ignorant, or foolish” person.
    So yes all those Liberals and Many Republicans running to and fro supposedly being “NICE” are nothing of the kind and are really a scourge on our civilization; because saying no and something is not acceptable may take some Moxie “Moxie definition, courageous spirit and determination; perseverance” and actual Virtue these days, but “it’s always the right thing to do if a person is honest and really cares!” A Nation which was a Republic under God has been allowed to backslide into this current quagmire of a nation that is failing on all fronts! These Marxists attack “Traditional America” and its foundational precepts for many years now saying that a “traditional nuclear family” by means of a “Christian Marriage” which has always been “the joining of one man and one woman together in blessed God ordained matrimony” which is the start of a family producing unit which truly can protect the children they procreate!

    Tell me if you can which I know you can’t how it is not completely foolish and idiocy to listen to these Liberal Progressive Marxists say that two men can marry and men can have babies; which is what they say now! What has happened is, our society has flipped, and “normal which really does exist” is now being pushed aside to allow these fools to spread and promote these utter “Lies as the Truth!” This insanity and evil filling young minds with falsehoods if not stopped will decay civilization to utter hell on earth and total destruction!

    Currently a large national group called Antifa which was at one point a few years ago designated as a Domestic Terror Group by the DHS, which always resort to violence and attacks upon anyone or any group that is not in-line with their perverted violent agenda; such as now of late, they are threatening to burn to the ground car dealerships! They are allowed to propagate and carry out their destructive mission because our own Government is so corrupted now; “that what was right is now wrong and what was always wrong is now propped up as right!” This can only lead to Civil War if these terrorist enemies of the Republic under God are not all arrested by the authorities and prosecuted fully with a minimum of life in prison as their sentence!

    Our government is all out of whack and actually helping to destroy not just America but humanity; this is all supportive of the antichrist along with what is developing around the globe! Most of our elected officials and powerful corporate elite are failing miserably!
    God help us and bless America once again!

  15. An important statement that I had to make in the cyber-world.

    Ted Weiland: the Founders of this Constitutional Republic were brilliant and a faithful to Christ the Lord people, who got the program going. But over the years struggles ensued from this side verses that side making for a more divided Nation as the decades passed; not a truly United One under God! Man’s ways or the material world and power took over! But what you point our is easily recognized now as a Counterfeit Republic under God because of the sheer obvious truth of the Bible being tossed aside just like school prayer was in all public schools many years ago!

    Now can anyone seriously say that someone like Omar or AOC and any of the Squad for that matter or even reprobates like Schumer and Pelosi or even RINO’s like McConnell all actually use the Bible to be sworn into office taking that oath under God Almighty the Judaeo-Christian One and meaning it 100% for those that do use it, and we know some will not use the Bible as they are Muslims or whatever; and now where even Satanists are appointed to our government as we just witnessed Biden do? Not at all can anyone say that this is a solemn unequivocal oath by all parties concerned and be 100% honest, that it is all proper and Truth! And Pelosi along with many others have stated their perspective when they have said the Constitution is an outdated Old Document; in other words it doesn’t mean diddlysquat to them! So the government consists of outright swindling liars and antichrists which is the absolute opposite of what the Founders absolutely intended on establishing and did but it has been grievously perverted!

    This nation is way off base and I will state that it unequivocally is an Abomination to God, being built now on many lies and evils’; so much hypocrisy and we know God will not ever tolerate the hypocrite!

    1 Peter 2:16 “ Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves.”

    Mark 7:66 He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.”

    Romans 10:33 “Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.”

    Titus 1:16 “They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.”

    The good well or fount within has been poisoned with pure evil from hell!

    So yes things have gotten progressively worse and this is a ship that is sailing with no rudder to be honest; which can only lead to utter destruction, as its a Blasphemy against God Almighty to use Him and His word as a false front to set up a counterfeit kingdom that only pretends to take its inspiration and directives from God Himself, but instead only listens to the fickle nature of man and the wicked ways of the world! End of Story!

  16. I agree Ann Marie! One thing I must add is that Biden is ridden with pure Evil which has had its grip on him for over 50 years so that should spell out what forces are at play in this madhouse scenario! Also you’re right about what I’ve called for the last several years “the 8 darkest years in America” the “Fraud Obama” presidency! That man is the epitome of evil full of him-self and lies coming out of his ears!

    I mean come on, look who he was paired with for those eight years none other than the evil bastard Biden who we are stuck with again; and make no mistake about it, this was not by some remote freak accident of chance or fate; it was a designed evil plot from hell! So looking at how long these diabolical, pathological liars have been in the top echelon of our “US Government power grid” should spell out to anyone with a clue just how sinister and destructive the plan or underlying agenda actually is; Annihilation!

    Is it any wonder now that we have a so called president who states with a hot open mic nearby that “nobody f-s with a Biden!” That evil traitor should have been executed decades ago but yet here we are!!!

    “President Biden stunned viewers of a Hurricane Ian recovery briefing Wednesday by saying into a hot mic that “no one f—s with a Biden” shortly after he told devastated residents of southwest Florida that he can commiserate due to a minor house fire that destroyed an “awful lot” of his own home almost 20 years ago.” nypost

    The gall and vile arrogance to this degree from anyone calling themself the president points out a clear and present danger for America how this is a sign of absolute madness and the working of a wicked tyrannical soul; truly diabolical. The emperor truly has no cloths or a human heart!

    As far as any trials and culpability being held to account; I won’t hold my breath, I have “slim to no,” faith in our Government!
    Sorry, this scenario is sort of “up the creek without the proverbial paddle!”

    As I see it, realistically speaking as far as our leadership and system goes, “too little too late!” They were and still are too busy “passing the buck!” They love their “gravy train” too much! I mean “come on,” look at scoundrels like Pelosi, Schumer and McConnell; that is leadership? Yea, sure if it’s about making oneself filthy rich off the system and backs of the taxpayers, sure it is, they “lead their own SCAM!” But a small group of them being taken down and fried for their crimes? Can’t happen, if you do it to several you’d have to do it to almost all of them, because that is how crooked most of them are being in the game to start with! This is why I believe we see such arrogance and outright “in the open corruption!” Say for example Katie Hobbs in Arizona who obviously lost an election but won because she was able to rig it and doesn’t care what anyone thinks; because she figures she has it all covered and is invincible being a “Grade-A Liar Insider Crook,” playing the game!

  18. Excellent posting which to me falls under the heading of “morality and decent human behavior.” You actually speak to the heart of what I had to write about late yesterday!

    One of my grandmothers used to tell us all growing up that if the children are rude and getting into trouble she blames the mothers because proper behavior and decent manners start at home and it’s a mother’s duty to instill the right qualities in her children. Now that is “the old fashioned folks” talking and she was that in spades; if she saw how things are done today she would be beside herself and very sad.
    I can say that the world has gotten way too tricky and complicated and it’s all par for the course as we move into a more artificial cyber-minded world! I remember not that many years ago before Big Tech if people were phonies and selfish users or abuses they were referred to as “plastic people,” say for example in Los Angeles some years back when I lived there. But now, OMG the digital cyber pretend world has absorbed people’s minds making reckless moronic ninnies out of far too many of them! What happens to one of them if you extract them out of that cocoon like fantasy realm without their smartphone with apps and insert them into a real time, real world of hardship and challenge, what will ya get; I can only imagine some sort of gobbledygook!

    OK, so where am I heading with this rant, I see the problem as much huger than what grandma was thinking back then and what I see is a bizarre world unfolding, one in which the mindset is being established by not only this digital cyber fake realm but those engineering madmen or those sinister schemers behind the curtains, because it’s not harmless and so innocent as some people actually want us to believe! It’s beyond propaganda and into “mass delusion or formation psychosis” and mind control on steroids, just look at what happened around the planet for the “Covid Death” with a typical actual real time survival rate of 99.98%; I mean come on the CIA and other so called government agencies that are supposed to protect the citizenry are also involved in manipulating them all, to “Control!”

    We have grown and changed into a world where “indifference and lack of respect” are a given because people aren’t only becoming “plastic and phony” but they are becoming “alien” to what humanity was intended to be in the first place! I can setup an example of what I’m referring to with the at times polar opposing subject of abortion. As I see it this is a subject that is cut and dry and humans should not destroy an innocent life which is a great affront to God to me on the level of human sacrifice; albeit in abortion a “sacrifice to the modern way of thinking and lifestyle of doing it my own way;” that selfish thing rearing its head! Well, not to burst any bubbles, but, it comes down to not getting pregnant in the first place so that is a huge responsibility to consider by both the woman and the man; just like my mommy and daddy taught me as a child “not to play with matches or fire” because “I will get burned!” We people if we are truly honest with ourselves can see the blatant levels of sheer disrespect in this upside-down world today and it only seems to be getting worse! Figure if people are willing to totally disrespect that little innocent life in the womb and not take the responsibility for having started it in the first place; to me that speaks volumes of what is wrong in people’s heads, hearts and souls!

    So I went on this bent because just yesterday I received an email from an organization “Students for Life” comprised of some very sensible, caring younger women and men who are many of them college students who are doing a very fine job of promoting the good that I say is so lacking or dissipating rapidly in this world today. So on that note I can admit there is hope and for that matter as long as we are breathing “there is always hope!” We have to and should always at least give it our best shot and “try our best because this is a test,” as mom told us all from a young age! Which does go to prove what Grandmother said was true it’s the success or failure of the mother in the home if the children are doing the right or wrong thing in public. I sure didn’t go off the rails nor did my siblings; so we have mom and grandma to thank for sure!

    Sorry for the long winded spiel but this “lack of respect and immorality” is way out of control in the world these days and heading to hell in a hand basket; so as I see it we all need to talk about it more often, but then put our words into action and change the paradigm!

    So here is what I had to write and say in regard to that email from the Pro-Life group which was sent out stating how some very sad and scary developments came up.

    I won’t mince words because it’s reached the boiling point as far as I’m concerned with the “Deplorable” most heinous Hillary speaking the way she is in this regard to Pro-Life advocacy! She is a vile and extremely dangerous person fanning the flames of hostility and hate while our DOJ is obviously wicked to allow this kind of instigating threatening rhetoric and behavior to transpire here in America! This can only mean that while the Media and many of our government officials are being this biased and incredibly immoral or hostile in regard to this matter; this can only mean that the system is not only out of whack, but is also blatantly out of control!

    Planned Parenthood and these off the rails government officials both present and former one’s are derelict and absolutely sinister; I would add in my own eyes they are diabolical when they allow a radical terrorist group like Jane’s Revenge to threaten extreme violence with guns which is an outright ominous threat of murder and mayhem, fomenting severe civil violence, and so every one of those individuals in that organization should be arrested and prosecuted for domestic terrorism!

    Planned Parenthood and most if not all of the abortionists call it healthcare which it absolutely is not; real healthcare would be proper enlightenment and education coupled with instilling a sense of morality and conscience in individuals when it comes to relationships that have the capacity to produce a pregnancy, a huge responsibility, which turns out with too many individuals as being the first stumbling block that leads to failure by persons who must ultimately take responsibility for their actions or suffer the consequences for not doing so; all of us must take responsibility for our own actions! But as it turns out with far too many people this “miracle of procreation” for them becomes the selfish act of only looking to “sweep it all under the carpet” as the saying goes, by taking an innocent human being’s life, in order to bury their own guilt and failure of “morality and decent human behavior!”

    This atmosphere is producing multitudes of incredibly reckless and immoral human beings who become more destructive with each passing year to the point where they can no longer see reality, or what is “just and proper;” as we now witness with a group like Jane’s Revenge! But making this exponentially worse is the biased media and corrupted government establishment promoting this debauchery; and to me it’s not unlike what the Communist Cultural Revolution did in China during the time of Mao. This is a “Revolution” and everything is at stake! So I leave with this great quote that fits our time to a “T.”

    George Orwell quote: “In times of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act”.

  19. “So he can never say he did not receive Mercy.” I quote you for good cause.

    “If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning you: and in their hands they shall bear you up, lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone” (Matthew 4:6). Jesus answered him, “You shall not tempt the Lord your God” (Luke 4:12).

    Satan was trying to take advantage of Christ’s humanity and kindness as I see it just like the many evildoers have done to the American Way of self-governance and used its strengths for weakness and sin; a perversion, a turning of it inside out!

    We are saved by grace through faith but that requires remaining in the path of obedience. Jesus demonstrated this while having perfect trust in His Father he would not knowingly place Himself in a circumstance or predicament to seek Divine Providence to force God’s grace and mercy which He does provide through the salvation; as though some game. In other words it’s not some game or let’s see what we can get to happen and test the Father which much of civilization is doing right now in spades, I mean look around where don’t we see the many deceptions and false facades or the outright lack of human respect and decency, nothing is held sacred on many fronts being pushed to the limit; as I mentioned with regard to the current administration as an example; all of which will bring God’s wrath with certainty! Was Sodom and Gomorrah a joke or just some out of context story? It is all relevant today and actually exponentially more so as we are in the generationally speaking extremely wayward time! In Germany some nut case is proposing 30,000 per year human factory farming where all the human babies will be produced in vats with digital apps that the parents can check in on their baby with, and as well determine eye color and other physical attributes before the baby is fully cooked! What could possibly go wrong or be used for evil purposes with this!

    Yes I say Sodom and Gomorrah is a nursery rhyme fable compared to this evil generation now! And Satan is having his hour in glory with the likes of Bergoglio fanning the flames of hell within God’s beloved Church; that is an “abomination,” I won’t partake of that at all and will not show any respect or concern for that human devil promoting and facilitating this grave transgression! I wrote to him early on in his appointment of debauchery before I was aware of all this subversion and I opened up with some very personal and political information, all of which I had been attacked with over several years because of my political stance in some big money making, power monger matters locally, and I was then set-up and attacked further which demonstrated that Bergoglio and evil dark forces are at work in the Vatican; as well they are throughout the earth now, making him connected to such even in my locale that tried to destroy me!

    There comes a point where this all about love feature of Christianity becomes “sympathy for the devil” and that can never be allowed or should it be advocated in any way, because then one is partaking of that most heinous evil derived from Satan willingly! We must always do our best to discern and also as Jesus does, look to separate the goats from the lambs, not comingle them say like the Current out of control US Government Administration is doing with forcing Drag Queens and non- binary madness upon grade school children to groom them as future perverts and derelicts, I say even more antichrist people! No there is far too much shocking and evil behavior running rampant throughout civilization already because “foolish people” have let their guard down and accepted the “far left mantra of tolerance and acceptance is paramount!” No it is not; because there is a set order to things God created and for humans to think they can override that natural order “He established” is blasphemy and may very well be an abomination in some instances; so take care in where you drive this point and be weary not to help the negative to propagate as it has in the Church under Bergoglio, whom I don’t pray for at all being the evil transgressor and disruptor he is! He has undermined and attacked that which I hold sacred, so he is no friend but a foe and I know how to handle my foes; I did it alone with Christ in the court system when nobody cared, say but for my own mother and a couple of saintly souls God sent to me!

    “Vanity of vanities and all is vanity.” Eccles 1. 2. “Except to love God and serve Him alone. This is the highest wisdom, by despising the world to tend to heavenly kingdoms.”

    I can’t be achieving that higher calling if I fragment my devotion between loving God and loving fools who care not to change or actually love evil! I’ve grown through hardship and specific circumstance to despise this world, and many of the man-made trappings in it; its garbage and filth! I do hate it!

    How many in this saturated materialistic selfish world are of this cause?

    Matthew 19:21 (expanded) Jesus answered him, “If you wish to be perfect [that is, have the spiritual maturity that accompanies godly character with no moral or ethical deficiencies], go and sell what you have and give [the money] to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me [becoming My disciple, believing and trusting in Me and walking the same path of life that I walk].”

    Thank you for your thoughts and may you go in peace with God’s mercy always!

  20. “CHRISTmas”

    I wrote this with my intention on Christmas being to spend time focused on seeing the reality that Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior was born as one of us but the crucial difference being He is human perfection totally without sin and in doing so, He God Almighty could light the way ahead of each of us with God’s Absolute Truth, Power and Glory in order to bring us to everlasting life with Him our Eternal Glorious Father; through His only begotten Son Jesus!

    I read and hear controversies about this celebration of the birth of Christ Jesus and many say how pagan associations have been incorporated into this occasion which is true to an extent! But I say this; we are still here in the imperfect flesh and we must never as they say throw out the baby with the bath water! We can find fault with any human celebration, finding flaws or faults in what is being done, even with Easter or our own birthdays, which if we researched these particular dates or time frames would find that some completely foul or even some pagan act was committed sometime in the past which is associated with that date. But we would not cancel our own birthday celebration because of such a thing! Therefore I say it’s what is genuinely in the heart based on Truth and Love that we want to express our thanks and total appreciation for our being born; our being given a life with a purpose that comes from God!

    The birth of Jesus is the most important birth in all time, that we must cherish and to the very best of our ability expressing our thanks as well as appreciation for this miraculous gift that could only come from God the Father Himself; which was a human baby was born who was named Jesus and would grow up to be our Savior in order to keep us out of hell and eternal damnation; instead bringing us to eternal life and peace in heaven! Think hard now about what that means to you personally and your loved ones; how vitally crucial and important this gift from God actually is, and put all of your heart and soul into expressing your own appreciation of this Truth and Gift from God on “this day and throughout the year” by means of placing your life humbly in the hands of our Lord Jesus Christ and “live the love” He has given to you with each breath and step you take; to the very best of your ability! This way you are doing no harm at all, but, instead are very pleasing to our heavenly Father in this showing true respect and adoration for Jesus who makes all things possible with His Birth and then shed blood as the only sacrifice for the redemption of souls that is worthy and capable of atoning for all sin; so that each of us might be brought to eternal life by “accepting Jesus and loving Him above anything;” even our own lives! God’s eternal light shines upon this world to overcome its fallen nature.

    Because of the “Absolute Plain Truth” from God that Light will always overcome the darkness!

    Therefore we must see it’s only through God’s light that True Love can be born and flourish, where there is “Free Will;” Anything short of that would not be love!

    Blessed are those who come in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ!

    “She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”
    – Matthew 1:21 (WEB)

    I wish you all good health, peace, happiness, and good success in what you do as you live by the will of God through Jesus Christ. Amen

    Merry Christmas! All His Love Honor and Glory be received by those who genuinely open their hearts to Him alone and accept “His Gift,” the Christmas Gift of Eternal Love, which is Him; Jesus! Humble yourselves to Him, devoting your lives and love to Him, He loves you and you need Him; we all need Him more than anything else in existence, for He is the Savior of mankind! He doesn’t ever want to lose you! Amen.

  21. Matthew 3:1-12

    1 John the Baptist appeared, preaching in the desert of Judea
    2 and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!”
    3 It was of him that the prophet Isaiah had spoken when he said: A voice of one crying out in the desert, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.
    4 John wore clothing made of camel’s hair and had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
    5 At that time Jerusalem, all Judea, and the whole region around the Jordan were going out to him

    6 and were being baptized by him in the Jordan River as they acknowledged their sins.
    7 When he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
    8 Produce good fruit as evidence of your repentance.

    9 And do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you, God can raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
    10 Even now the ax lies at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

    11 I am baptizing you with water, for repentance, but the one who is coming after me is mightier than I. I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
    12 His winnowing fan is in his hand. He will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.”

  24. Hey Vera,
    No worries that is how things get in this fast paced getting more digital/AI world these days and life doesn’t slow down to accommodate so we have to like mom always said, “try your best because this is a test!” You said so much here in limited space and time! Yes its hard to really enjoy with so much coming at us by the minute now in the tumultuous world we humans have manufactured, and it gets scary even! But you got it figured so well; “But God is great, & He has come through & provided for me in so many ways.” That is so true and is exactly why I’m still alive and able to function after some very bad things that were tossed in my lane of travel which could have killed me or at least left me in dire straits, so oh yea I have so much to be thankful for because it was God who gave me the break and help I needed to overcome it all! But, the battle to move forward goes on and it will always be difficult to some degree as long as I’m in this fallen world; still praying and learning how to do God’s will better and be stronger, yet more humble all the time! I guess what I’m saying is its most important to let God through Jesus Christ lead the way and really trust in Him! Can be easier said than done, but, He knows our hearts and if we truly believe and want to give Him our all through our genuine hearts He will take care of us “from here to eternity!”

    Thank you for the well wishes and my holidays are much more quiet and nothing like the old days when many of the older generation of family were here and the way they brought us all together for a big loving family gathering; but at least I had many of those great times which I can reflect upon now when I need the inspiration and sill can feel all the love! Yes times have changed too and not so much for the better but we have to hold onto Hope that God provides and let’s us know that there is always plenty of that for the taking, which builds character and inner strength to help us keep looking forward to the great times to come! God keeps His promises for sure He is all knowing, loving and perfect so who better to respect and trust than Him!

    Dad always told us that your health is so crucial because without it you have a much more limited ability to meet the daily challenges of life! So I hope you and your family are all healthy but most of all that your faith is always growing!

    It was interesting and good to meet you in that unexpected little way through my need to make that business call that day, so I appreciate the opportunity to have met you and become a bit acquainted like this!

    PS I just yesterday had seen this video clip which was brought to my attention in my email as part of a news article which I was just sending to one of my sisters when I right after that saw your new email so of course I should send it to you too! Maybe because I just lost a beloved dog companion pet which I had with me for nearly 16 years; and she passed at home with me tending to her as she took her last breath; and because it hurt so bad I think God in His mysterious ways is giving me more incentives to push forward and to know its all fine because He loves all of the good within His creation, even the dog more than I can imagine, and He will help me get through it because He surely loves me and wants me to heal!

    I’ve seen the Rocky movies but never this one so it was meant to happen at the right time that I should see this!

  25. The world of the high-tech revolution has the human race moving much too fast for their own good! We have entered into an age of a real and very dangerous “Pandora’s Box” which has captivated massive numbers of people who are mesmerized and hypnotized if you will, to be puppets on a string and then we ask for what purpose or who is the master puppeteer pulling all the strings; as we see plainly in the music and entertainment industry some pop artists have been swept up in dark and sinister manifestations of the occult and demonic!
    I say this is actually quite insane to move haphazardly or quickly into this uncharted territory of human behavior gone amuck! Your concern about a fear of failure isn’t unwarranted and it’s been a natural reaction by many sensible persons to the taking on new challenges as long as people have been on earth, I do believe! But now it’s taken on a dimension of exponential proportions of possibly unforeseen consequences and we know from basic physics that “for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction!” So my supposition in all of this by my own observations and some experience is to think about that phrase that may very well be a good warning to all who fly around in the “Digital Empire!”
    “The phrase “For fools rush in where angels fear to tread” (or various iterations of it) has gone on to be used by a variety of well-known people, including among others: Abraham Lincoln who cited the phrase in his speech made at Peoria, Illinois October 16, 1854.” fdotstokes

    The third article mentioned really bites of the corrupt commie nation and administration we now live in or under!

    “(3) the intentional damage or destruction of a reproductive health care facility or a place of worship.”

    Yet look what Jane’s Revenge were doing; going into actual churches, real places of worship during the mass or religious proceedings and stripping naked or otherwise totally disrupting the religious service, and yet are those arrogant, disrespectful, vile lunatics on trial???

    Or more to the point of what the “FACE Act” speaks to, what about Antifa actually attacking, firebombing and destroying actual Pro-Life counseling offices and other facilities to intimidate the Pro-Life citizens from speaking; a “violation of their First Amendment Rights” during the Supreme Courts imminent decision against Roe vs. Wade last year being struck down, with then the ensuing riots and mayhem being carried out by the Abortionists on all fronts! Yet again we hear crickets and no harsh action taken by our DOJ to go after all these actual felony criminal perpetrators and anarchist Marxist enemies of America, who would gleefully toss out the US Constitution if they have their way with the ever so criminal, communist political hack bureaucrat Merrick Garland; who I don’t even call a DOJ AG!

    You can be sure China’s CCP and our internal enemies of America have been working clandestinely on causing all of this mayhem for many years to “divide and concur” or “destroy from within” which is just what Lenin, Marx, Stalin and Khrushchev all said they would do to America; which the CCP is now really taking that rally cry to the limit!
    I tell you; too many American’s have been soft and allowed too much wickedness to take root in our beloved nation under God!

    There is always hope but “too much water has passed over the dam” as they say and it may be too late, unless the masses join together and demand that or liberties be reinforced while fully “re-Constituted!” Amen.

    “The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the republican model of government are justly considered, perhaps, as deeply, as finally staked on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.” George Washington, First Inaugural Address, April 30, 1789

    “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” ― Thomas Jefferson

    “It has been observed by an honorable gentleman, that a pure democracy, if it were practicable, would be the most perfect government. Experience has proved, that no position in politics is more false than this. The ancient democracies, in which the people themselves deliberated, never possessed one feature of good government. Their very character was tyranny; their figure deformity.” ― Alexander Hamilton, Speech to Congress, June 21, 1788

    “Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.” Thomas Paine, Common Sense, 1776

  30. Beatitudes
    Solemn blessings which mark the opening of the Sermon on the Mount

    Beatitudes, THE EIGHT, the solemn blessings (beatitudines, benedictiones) which mark the opening of the Sermon on the Mount, the very first of Our Lord’s sermons in the Gospel of St. Matthew (v, 3-10). Four of them occur again in a slightly different form in the Gospel of St. Luke (vi, 22), likewise at the beginning of a sermon, and running parallel to Matthew, 5-7, if not another version of the same. And here they are illustrated by the opposition of the four curses (24-26). The fuller account and the more prominent place given the Beatitudes in St. Matthew are quite in accordance with the scope and the tendency of the First Gospel, in which the spiritual character of the Messianic kingdom—the paramount idea of the Beatitudes—is consistently put forward, in sharp contrast with Jewish prejudices. The very peculiar form in which Our Lord proposed His blessings makes them, perhaps, the only example of His sayings that may be styled poetical—the parallelism of thought and expression, which is the most striking feature of Biblical poetry, being unmistakably clear.

    The text of St. Matthew runs as follows:

    3. Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
    4. Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land.
    5. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
    6. Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill.
    7. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
    8. Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God.
    9. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
    10. Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

    TEXTUAL CRITICISM.—As regards textual criticism, the passage offers no serious difficulty. Only in verse 9, the Vulgate and many other ancient authorities omit the pronoun autoi, ipsi probably a merely accidental omission. There is room, too, for serious critical doubt, whether verse 5 should not be placed before verse 4. Only the etymological connection, which in the original is supposed to have existed between the “poor” and the “meek”, makes us prefer the order of the Vulgate.

    First Beatitude.—The word “poor” seems to represent an Aramaic anya (Hebr. ani), bent down, afflicted, miserable, poor; while “meek” is rather a synonym from the same root, anwan (Hebr. Äòanaw), bending oneself down, humble, meek, gentle. Some scholars would attach to the former word also the sense of humility; others think of “beggars before God” humbly acknowledging their need of Divine help. But the opposition of “rich” (Luke, vi, 24) points especially to tile common and obvious meaning, which, however, ought not to be confined to economical need and distress, but may comprehend the whole of the painful condition of the poor: their low estate, their social dependence, their defenseless exposure to injustice from the rich and the mighty. Besides the Lord’s blessing, the promise of the heavenly kingdom is not bestowed on the actual external condition of such poverty. The blessed ones are the poor “in spirit”, who by their free will are ready to bear for God‘s sake this painful and humble condition, even though at present they be actually rich and happy; while on the other hand, the really poor man may fall short of this poverty “in spirit”.

    Second Beatitude.—Inasmuch as poverty is a state of humble subjection, the “poor in spirit” come near to the “meek”, the subject of the second blessing. The `anawim, they who humbly and meekly bend themselves down before God and man, shall “inherit the land” and possess their inheritance in peace. This is a phrase taken from Ps., xxxvi (Hebr., xxxvii), 11, where it refers to the Promised Land of Israel, but here, in the words of Christ, it is of course but a symbol of the Kingdom of Heaven, the spiritual realm of the Messiah. Not a few interpreters, however, understand “the earth”. But they overlook the original meaning of Ps., xxxvi, 11, and unless, by a far-fetched expedient, they take the earth also to be a symbol of the Messianic kingdom, it will be hard to explain the possession of the earth in a satisfactory way.

    Third Beatitude.—The “mourning” in the Third Beatitude is in Luke (vi, 25) opposed to laughter and similar frivolous worldly joy. Motives of mourning are not to be drawn from the miseries of a life of poverty, abjection, and subjection, which are the very blessings of verse 3, but rather from those miseries from which the pious man is suffering in himself and in others, and most of all the tremendous might of evil throughout the world. To such mourners the Lord Jesus carries the comfort of the heavenly kingdom, “the consolation of Israel” (Luke, ii, 25) foretold by the prophets, and especially by the Book of Consolation of Isaias (xl—lxvi). Even the later Jews knew the Messiah by the name of Menahhem, Consoler. These three blessings, poverty, abjection, and subjection, are a commendation of what nowadays are called the passive virtues: abstinence and endurance, and the Eighth Beatitude (verse 10) leads us back again to the same teaching.

    Fourth Beatitude.—The others, however, demand a more active behavior. First of all, “hunger and thirst” after justice; a strong and continuous desire of progress in religious and moral perfection, the reward of which will be the very fulfilment of the desire, the continuous growth in holiness.

    Fifth Beatitude.—From this interior desire a further step should be taken to acting; to the works of “mercy”, corporal and spiritual. Through these the merciful will obtain the Divine mercy of the Messianic kingdom, in this life and in the final judgment. The wonderful fertility of the Church in works and institutions of corporal and spiritual mercy of every kind shows the prophetical sense, not to say the creative power, of this simple word of the Divine Teacher.

    Sixth Beatitude.—According to Biblical terminology “cleanness of heart” (verse 8) cannot exclusively be found in interior chastity, nor even, as many scholars propose, in a general purity of conscience, as opposed to the Levitical, or legal, purity required by the Scribes and Pharisees. At least the proper place of such a blessing does not seem to be between mercy (verse 7) and peacemaking (verse 9), nor after the apparently more far-reaching virtue of hunger and thirst after justice. But frequently in the Old and New Testaments [Gen., xx, 5; Job, xxxiii, 3; Pss., xxiii (Hebr., xxiv), 4; lxxii (Hebr., lxxiii), 1; I Tim., i, 5; II Tim., ii, 22] the “pure heart” is the simple and sincere good intention, the “single eye” of Matt., vi, 22, and thus opposed to the unavowed by-ends of the Pharisees (Matt., vi, 1-6, 16-18; vii, 15; xxiii, 5-7, 14). This “single eye” or “pure heart” is most of all required in the works of mercy (verse 7) and zeal (verse 9) in behalf of one’s neighbor. And it stands to reason that the blessing, promised to this continuous looking for God‘s glory, should consist of the supernatural “seeing” of God Himself, the last aim and end of the heavenly kingdom in its completion.

    Seventh Beatitude.—The “peacemakers” (verse 9) are those who not only live in peace with others but moreover do their best to preserve peace and friend-ship among mankind and between God and man, and to restore it when it has been disturbed. It is on account of this godly work, “an imitating of God‘s love of man” as St. Gregory of Nyssa styles it, that they shall be called the sons of God, “children of your Father who is in heaven” (Matt., v, 45).

    Eighth Beatitude.—When after all this the pious disciples of Christ are repaid with ingratitude and even “persecution” (verse 10) it will be but a new blessing, “for theirs is the kingdom of heaven”.

    So by an inclusion, not uncommon in Biblical poetry, the last blessing goes back to the first and the second. The pious, whose sentiments and desires, whose works and sufferings are held up before us, shall be blessed and happy by their share in the Messianic kingdom, here and hereafter. And viewed in this light the different kinds of blessing enumerated in the intermediate verses seem to express, in partial images of the one endless beatitude, the same possession of the Messianic salvation. The eight conditions required constitute the fundamental law of the kingdom, the very pith and marrow of Christian perfection. For its depth and breadth of thought, and its practical bearing on Christian life, the passage may be put on a level with the Decalogue in the Old, and the Lord’s Prayer in the New, Testament, and it surpasses both in its poetical beauty of structure.

    Besides the commentaries on St. Matthew and St. Luke, and the monographs on the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes are treated in eight homilies of ST. GREGORY OF NYSSA, P.G., XLIV, 1193-1302, and in one other of ST. CHROMATIDS, P.L., XX, 323-328. Different patristical sermons on single beatitudes are noticed in P.L., CXXI (Index IV), 23 sqq.

      CHAPTER VI

      “BE careful not to follow the way of life now laid
      down for you with an eye to human appreciation ; if
      you do so, you take all the virtue out of it from God’s
      point of view. When you are practicing your charities,
      you are not to obtrude them upon public notice as self-
      advertising philanthropists do in church or street, to
      win the applause of men. Of course they get what they
      want, and there is an end of the matter. But when
      you are doing a brotherly action, your left hand is not
      to know what your right hand is about ; you are not to
      feel virtuous. Nor need you concern yourselves
      about reward, for there are no secrets to which God our
      Father is not a party, and He will make it up to you.
      When you pray, you are not to go about it like the people
      who air their piety ; you know how fond they are of
      engaging in prayer for the edification of onlookers.
      They get what they want admiration ; but God has
      nothing to do with this kind of thing. When any one
      of you is drawn to pray, he will do well to go apart and
      retire into himself, there holding converse with God,
      who dwells in secret places ; his Father, from
      whom no secrets are hid. will Himself reward him.”

      CHAPTER VI 15

      “with him ! You must make your choice between
      devotion to God and absorption in this world’s business,
      for no one can really bind himself to the service of more
      than one master at a time ; he will either dislike the
      one and love the other, or he will become attached to
      the one and disparage the other. So I bid you not to
      worry about yourselves, so far as food and clothes are
      concerned. You are far more important than the food
      you eat ; your bodies are more beautiful than the clothes
      you wear. Study the wild birds ; they do not sow or
      reap or lay up a store for the winter, yet God your
      Father looks after them,- and you are more precious in
      His sight than they ! Worry never makes you any
      better-looking, does it ? What is the use of worrying
      about clothes ? Learn a lesson from the wild flowers
      they have no toilsome dressmaking to do, yet I tell
      you Solomon in full dress was not so well clothed
      as they ! If God dresses the very grass so well,
      the grass which grows in the meadow to-day, and to-
      morrow is dry and dead, surely He will take more pains
      with you, you poor, mistrustful people ! You must
      not let yourselves worry, or say, ‘ How are we
      going to make ends meet ? ‘ or, ‘ What about the
      clothes I want so badly ? ‘ The thoughts of worldly
      people revolve round subjects like these ; surely
      God your Father knows how many your needs are !
      The bringing to birth of God’s new world, the practice of
      His way of life, must be your first concern ; all other
      needful things will come your way, if this be so. Live
      a day at a time, and let to-morrow look after itself.
      Every day brings its own burden of care, and one day’s
      trouble at a time is as much as you can”

      NOTE BY THE TRANSLATOR

      THE object of this paraphrase is not to take the place of
      any ancient or modern translation of the Gospels even
      within its own restricted range, but to render the words
      of Jesus in the current colloquial language of our time,
      in something the same way as the Master might have
      spoken to a band of modern disciples, as eager to learn
      and yet as little able to understand any but the simplest
      teaching as His first apostles were when first He called
      them. There is no attempt at word-by-word transla-
      tion, but the purpose has been to bring out as much
      as possible of what is suggested in the Sermon as we
      have it, without adding or omitting anything.

      CHAPTER V

      A ND seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain :
      ** and when he had sat down, his disciples came unto him :
      2 And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,

      3 TI Blessed are the poor in spirit : for theirs is the kingdom
      of heaven.

      4 If Blessed are they that mourn : for they shall be comforted.

      5 If Blessed are the meek : for they shall inherit the earth.

      6 If Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteous-
      ness : for they shall be filled.

      7 If Blessed are the merciful : for they shall obtain mercy.

      8 TJ Blessed are the pure in heart : for they shall see God.

      9 If Blessed are the peacemakers : for they shall be called
      sons of God.

      10 f Blessed are they that have been persecuted for righteous-
      ness’ sake : for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

      1 1 Blessed are ye when men shall reproach you, and persecute
      you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

      12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad : for great is your reward
      in heaven : for so persecuted they the prophets which were
      before you.

      13 If Ye are the salt of the earth : but if the salt have lost
      its savour, wherewith shall it be salted ? it is thenceforth good
      for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men.

      14 Ye are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot
      be hid.

      15 Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under the bushel,
      but on the stand ; and it shineth unto all that are in the house.

      1 6 Even so let your light shine before men, that they may
      see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

      1 7 U Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets
      I came not to destroy, but to fulfil.

      tvent up into the hills ; there He sat down, and,

      heart to them, saying in the course of His teaching:

      mourners there is good cheer in store for them ; for the

      look upon God’s face; for peacemakers they shall be
      called men of God’s own pattern ; to those who have
      ever suffered hardship in the cause of right God’s
      new world is their possession.

      That is why you should never fear persecution ; indeed,
      when you have to put up with reproach, ill-treatment,
      every kind of slander, all because you will be My disciples,
      you should welcome your troubles with exulting joy ;
      you will be real prophets then, and, like those who went
      before, God will reward you in His own great way. You
      are the salt of society : that is what you were meant for,
      to keep the world wholesome. No one has any use
      for insipid salt ; people pitch the stuff into the street,
      and there’s an end of it. You are the world’s sun-
      light ; like yonder town on the hilltop, you cannot hide
      if you try. Even with the lamp at home, you do not
      light it, and then put it under a basin, but on the lamp-
      stand, so that every one in the room can see by its light.
      Take care, then, that your light shines out in all men’s
      sight, that they may not fail to notice the Tightness
      of the things you do, and may come to thank God that
      they ever met you.

      Do not suppose that I have come to destroy the
      old religion ; my mission is not to supersede the

      6 THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT

      1 8 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass

      one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till
      all things be accomplished.

      19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least com-
      mandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the
      kingdom of heaven : but whosoever shall do and teach them,
      he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

      20 For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall
      exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in
      no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.

      21 U Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time,
      Thou shalt not kill ; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger
      of the judgement :

      22 But I say unto you, that every one who is angry with his
      brother shall be in danger of the judgement; and whosoever
      shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council ;
      and whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of the
      hell of fire.

      23 If therefore thou art offering thy gift at the altar, and there
      rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee,

      24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way, first
      be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

      25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art with
      him in the way ; lest haply the adversary deliver thee to the
      judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast
      into prison.

      26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out
      thence, till thou have paid the last farthing.

      27 U Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt not commit
      adultery :

      28 But I say unto you, that every one that looketh on a woman
      to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in
      his heart.

      29 And if thy right eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out,
      and cast it from thee : for it is profitable for thee that one of

      CHAPTER V 7

      ancient sanctions, rather to unfold their deeper meaning.
      Mark this ! the universe itself shall pass away, before
      the smallest detail of God’s law revealed in Scripture
      comes to be out of date ; rather shall every part disclose
      a larger truth. It follows that the man whose teaching
      lessens the force of what seem to be the least important
      of God’s laws, has but a very humble place in the age
      which I proclaim ; on the other hand he whose practice
      and teaching enhance their authority shall have wide
      influence there. All the same, your practice of the moral
      law must go far beyond the code of conduct preached by
      professional moralists ; only a new way of life can qualify
      you for the new world that is coming.

      I will illustrate my meaning ; you know the old words
      of Scripture, ‘You are not to commit murder,’ your
      teachers go on to say, ‘ Whoever kills must come up
      for trial.’ What I tell you is that every one who persists
      in unreasonable anger with a brother-man, must account
      for his behaviour ; whoever treats another with contempt
      shall be indicted for blasphemy ; whoever curses another
      brings down upon himself the doom he has invoked.
      And more than this, until you are on good terms with
      your brother, you must not bring your gifts to God’s
      altar ; if, when you have brought your gift you
      remember that he has anything against you, you
      must leave the gift where it is, go and make friends
      with your brother, and then offer your gift. Never
      lose a chance of making friends ; if you are involved
      in a law-suit, you must try to come to an understanding
      with your opponent on the way to court. Remember,
      God is judge ; if you prolong the quarrel, it will be
      you that He will condemn, whatever happens to the
      other man; the man who nurses ill-will always pays,
      and to the last penny too.

      Again the word of Scripture runs, ‘ You must not
      commit adultery.’ What I have to say on this subject
      is : Every one who casts upon a woman a lustful look
      has already in his heart seduced her. If some passion
      of this kind is your hindrance, you must tear yourself
      away from it at all costs ; better to live a maimed life,
      than with all your bodily powers about you be plunged
      into a hell of unsatisfied desire. If your daily business

      8 THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT

      thy members should perish, and not thy whole body be cast into
      hell.

      30 And if thy right hand causeth thee to stumble, cut if off,
      and cast it from thee : for it is profitable for thee that one of
      thy members should perish, and not thy whole body go into
      hell.

      31 It was said also, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let
      him give her a writing of divorcement :

      32 But I say unto you, that every one that putteth away
      his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, maketh her an
      adulteress : and whosoever shall marry her when she is put
      away committeth adultery.

      33 H Again, y e have heard that it was said to them of old
      time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto
      the Lord thine oaths :

      34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all ; neither by the
      heaven, for it is the throne of God ;

      35 Nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet ; nor
      by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

      36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou canst not
      make one hair white or black.

      37 But let your speech be, Yea, yea ; Nay, nay : and what-
      soever is more than these is of the evil one.

      38 ^ Ye have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and
      a tooth for a tooth :

      39 But I say unto you, Resist not him that is evil : but
      whosoever smiteth thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other
      also.

      40 And if any man would go to law with thee, and take away
      thy coat, let him have thy clokc also.

      41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go one mile, go with
      him twain.

      42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would
      borrow of thee turn thou not away.

      43 If Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy
      neighbour, and hate thine enemy :

      44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, and pray for them
      that persecute you ;

      -CHAPTER V 9

      puts a hindrance in your way, be rid of it, whatever it
      costs ; better to be a broken man, than in the full tide
      of your well-being to find yourself in hell. The old law
      ran : ‘ Whoever would be rid of his wife must make
      proper provision for her ! ‘ I go a stage further and say
      leaving on one side the question of misconduct you
      are not to part company with your wives at all ; if
      you do, you are to blame if they go wrong,
      while the man who marries a woman already divorced
      commits adultery himself. Another illustration: you
      have all heard the law once given to your fathers
      ‘ You must not commit perjury, but must fulfil your
      vows as in God’s sight.’ I tell you, you should not need
      to swear by this and that at all. Heaven is God’s throne,
      earth His footstool, Jerusalem the city of the King of
      Kings ; your head for the matter of that is sacred too
      you know you cannot make a single hair really white
      or black. Great words like these are God’s gift to you,
      and are not to be used as makeweights to your light
      talk. ‘ Yes, yes ‘ ; ‘ No, no ‘ ; that is emphasis enough
      for you ; when you go beyond such simple speech, you
      are giving the devil his chance.

      Once more ; you know the words, ‘ Eye for eye, tooth
      for tooth ‘ ; your teachers explain them as meaning ‘ slap
      for slap, or give as good as you get.’ I tell you, to
      follow this line of action is to measure yourself with the
      devil. Whoever slaps you on the right cheek* let
      him do it again, if he wants to ; if some one takes
      you into the law-courts, and to pay the damages
      you have to forfeit your vest, make him a present
      of your upper garment as well ; if you are pressed
      to go one mile in the government service, of your
      own accord accompany the officials who commandeer
      your services the rest of the league. You are to be at the
      service of every claimant, and are not to turn churlishly
      away from any one that wants to borrow of you.

      Again, you have heard the words of Scripture,
      ‘ Love your fellow-countrymen,’ and know the con-
      clusion your teachers draw : ‘ Of course this means that

      *That is, ‘ whoever insults you ‘ ; a blow on the left cheek is a
      figure used for real injury, a slap on the right cheek for insult is
      the idiom current in those days.

      io THE SERMON ON THE- MOUNT

      45 That ye may be sons of your Father which is in heaven :
      for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth
      rain on the just and the unjust.

      46 For if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye ?
      do not even the publicans the same ?

      47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more
      than others ? do not even the Gentiles the same ?

      48 Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is
      perfect.

      T

      CHAPTER VI

      AKE heed that ye do not your righteousness before men,
      to be seen of them : else ye have no reward with your
      Father which is in heaven.

      2 If When therefore thou doest alms, sound not a trumpet
      before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the
      streets, that they may have glory of men Verily I say unto
      you, They have received their reward.

      3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what
      thy right hand doeth :

      4 That thine alms may be in secret : and thy Father which
      seeth in secret shall recompense thee.

      5 f And when ye pray, ye shall not be as the hypocrites :
      for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the
      corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily
      I say unto you, They have received their reward.

      6 But thou, when tho;i prayest, enter into thinr- inner chamber,
      and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret,
      and thy Father which seeth in secret shall recompense thee

      CHAPTER V II

      you are to hate all foreigners.’ I tell you, you must
      iove those whom you have learnt to think of as your
      enemies, and, if they oppress you, must pray for them.
      So shall you really be like God your Father ; you know
      He makes His sun to shine down on bad and good alike,
      and sends His rain upon all men, whether they obey
      or disobey His will. Supposing that you love only those
      that love you back, there is no special merit in that, is
      there ? Quite disreputable people rival you there !
      Or if you are friends only with the people of your own
      set, that implies nothing more than average good-
      nature ; the very heathen are equal to that ! No,
      you are <to be God's men ; your love is to be as catholic
      as His.

      CHAPTER VI

      BE careful not to follow the way of life now laid
      down for you with an eye to human appreciation ; if
      you do so, you take all the virtue out of it from God's
      point of view. When you are practising your charities,
      you are not to obtrude them upon public notice as self-
      advertising philanthropists do in church or street, to
      win the applause of men. Of course they get what they
      want, and there is an end of the matter. But when
      you are doing a brotherly action, your left hand is not
      to know what your right hand is about ; you are not to
      feel virtuous. Nor need you concern yourselves
      about reward, for there are no secrets to which God our
      Father is not a party, and He will make it up to you.
      When you pray, you are not to go about it like the people
      who air their piety ; you know how fond they are of
      engaging in prayer for the edification of onlookers.
      They get what they want admiration ; but God has
      nothing to do with this kind of thing. When any one
      of you is drawn to pray, he will do well to go apart and
      retire into himself, there holding converse with God,
      who dwells in secret places ; his Father, from
      whom no secrets are hid. will Himself reward him.

      12 THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT

      7 And in praying use not vain repetitions, as the Gentiles
      do : for they think that they shall be heard for their much
      speaking.

      8 Be not therefore like unto them : for your Father knoweth
      what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him.

      g After this manner therefore pray ye : Our Father which
      art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

      10 Thy kingdom come. Thy -will be done, as in heaven, so
      on earth.

      11 Give us this day our daily bread.

      12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our
      debtors.

      13 And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the
      evil one.

      14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly
      Father will also forgive you.

      15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will
      your Father forgive your trespasses.

      1 6 U Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of
      a sad countenance : for they disfigure their faces, that they
      may be seen of men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have
      received their reward.

      17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thy head, and wash
      thy face ;

      1 8 That thou be not seen of men to fast, but of thy Father
      which is in secret : and thy Father, which seeth in secret,
      shall recompense thee.

      19 *[[ Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where
      moth and rust doth consume, and where thieves break through
      and steal :

      20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where
      neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not
      break through nor steal :

      21 For where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also

      22 The lamp of the body is the eye : if therefore thine eye
      be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

      23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of
      darkness If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness,
      how great is the darkness !

      CHAPTER VI 13

      When you are praying in company with others, do not talk
      for the sake of talking, as the heathen do in their endless
      ?ing-song prayers. They think that they can make
      Heaven listen by sheer persistence. You must not be
      like them, for you must remember that your Father
      knows what you need before you begin to ask. I will
      give you a model for your prayers : ' Our Father God,
      be Thou our God indeed ; let Thy new world come, Thy
      will be all men's law, on earth, as in heaven ; give
      us to-day our food for the day that is coming,*
      and release us from our debts, as we too have
      released our debtors ; and bring us not into trial,
      but rescue us from the devil.' You see, if you
      have forgiven your fellow-men their offenses against
      you, your Father will also forgive your offenses against
      Him ; if you will not, neither will He forgive you. When
      you are undergoing self-discipline, do not affect a sour
      expression, as do those who fast for appearance' sake.
      You know they murder their natural good looks, that
      everybody may see what martyrs they are. Of course
      they get the reputation they desire. When any one
      of you resolves upon a season of abstinence, he should
      be better groomed and more sociable than usual ; the
      attention of his friends is not to be drawn to his self-
      denial. His Father who dwells in the hidden life of the
      heart will see it ; his Father who reads all secrets will
      reward him. Do not hoard material possessions ; the
      moth will consume your finery, rust will tarnish your
      gold, thieves may break into your strong-rooms and
      carry all away. Your provision for future need is to be
      laid up in God's bank no moth, no rust, with Him ; no
      one can rob you of that treasure. Moreover, a man's
      interest is sure to centre round the concerns in which
      his savings are invested. Your soul looks out of your
      eyes, and everything depends upon the clearness of your
      vision. If a man look at others without suspicion or
      prejudice, his social life will be all sweetness and light ;
      if, on the other hand, his way of thinking about them
      is churlish and grudging, the world he lives in will look
      gloomy indeed ; he carries the outer darkness about

      *0r perhaps ' our needful food ' : I cannot decide between these
      two ultimate renderings.

      14 THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT

      24 No man can serve two masters : for either he will hate
      the one, and love the other ; or else he will hold to one, and
      despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

      25 Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for your life,
      what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink ; nor yet for your body,
      what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than the food, and
      the body than the raiment ?

      26 Behold the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither
      do they reap, nor gather into barns ; and your heavenly Father
      feedeth them. Are not ye of much more value than they ?

      27 And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit
      unto his stature ?

      28 And why are ye anxious concerning raiment ? Consider
      the lilies of the field, how they grow ; they toil not, neither do
      they spin :

      29 Yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory
      was not arrayed like one of these.

      30 But if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, which
      to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall He not
      much more clothe you, O ye of little faith ?

      31 Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat ? or
      What shall we drink ? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed ?

      32 For after all these things do the Gentiles seek ; for your
      heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

      33 But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness ; and
      all these things shall be added unto you.

      34 Be not therefore anxious for the morrow : for the morrow
      will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil
      thereof.

      CHAPTER Vn

      IUDGE not, that ye be not judged.

      2 For with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged:
      and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto
      you.

      3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's
      eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye ?

      CHAPTER VI 15

      with him ! You must make your choice between
      devotion to God and absorption in this world's business,
      for no one can really bind himself to the service of more
      than one master at a time ; he will either dislike the
      one and love the other, or he will become attached to
      the one and disparage the other. So I bid you not to
      worry about yourselves, so far as food and clothes are
      concerned. You are far more important than the food
      you eat ; your bodies are more beautiful than the clothes
      you wear. Study the wild birds ; they do not sow or
      reap or lay up a store for the winter, yet God your
      Father looks after them,- and you are more precious in
      His sight than they ! Worry never makes you any
      better-looking, does it ? What is the use of worrying
      about clothes ? Learn a lesson from the wild flowers
      they have no toilsome dressmaking to do, yet I tell
      you Solomon in full dress was not so well clothed
      as they ! If God dresses the very grass so well,
      the grass which grows in the meadow to-day, and to-
      morrow is dry and dead, surely He will take more pains
      with you, you poor, mistrustful people ! You must
      not let yourselves worry, or say, ' How are we
      going to make ends meet ? ' or, ' What about the
      clothes I want so badly ? ' The thoughts of worldly
      people revolve round subjects like these ; surely
      God your Father knows how many your needs are !
      The bringing to birth of God's new world, the practice of
      His way of life, must be your first concern ; all other
      needful things will come your way, if this be so. Live
      a day at a time, and let to-morrow look after itself.
      Every day brings its own burden of care, and one day's
      trouble at a time is as much as you can

      CHAPTER VII

      Do not indulge your critical faculties too much you
      lay yourself open to criticism if you do ; in the long run
      you will be done by as you did. Why do you take so
      much notice of the splinter in your brother-man's eye,

      i6 THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT

      4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me cast out the
      mote out of thine eye ; and lo, the beam is in thine own eye ?

      5 Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own
      eye ; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of
      thy brother's eye.

      6 f Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast
      your pearls before the swine, lest haply they trample them under
      their feet, and turn and rend you.

      7 1f Ask, and it shall be given you : seek, and ye shall find ;
      knock, and it shall bs opened unto you :

      8 For every one that asketh receiveth ; and he that seeketh
      findeth : and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

      9 Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask him
      for a loaf, will give him a stone ;

      10 Or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent ?

      n If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto
      your children, how much more shall your Father which is in
      heaven give good things to them that ask him ?

      12 All things therefore whatsoever ye would that men should

      CHAPTER VII 17

      without stopping to reflect that there is a whole log in
      your own ? Why do you busy yourselves with other
      men's small faults so much, and forget your own big
      ones ? Self-deluded man, first get rid of the log in your
      own eye, then you can see straight to pick the splinter
      out of your brother's eye ! Your fellowship with Me
      and one another is your signet-ring, your circlet of
      pearls ; you are not to. expose this sacred bond to the
      tender mercies of cynical outsiders or mere scandal-
      mongers ; if you do, they trample your treasure in
      the dirt, then turn upon you and take away your
      character too. Ask, and you shall have ; seek, and you
      shall find ; knock, and the door will fly open. Every one
      who persists in asking gets something ; the seeker makes
      discoveries ; to the man who keeps on knocking God's door
      does open. There is not a man among you who would give
      his boy a stone when asked for a loaf, or a snake as a
      substitute for a fish, is there? If, then, sinful men like
      you know what is best to give your children, surely you
      can trust your heavenly Father to give good things to
      those who ask Him ! My rule of life is this : you are to
      treat every one else as you would like people to treat
      you ; this is the essence of God's revealed law of con-
      duct. The door I have now opened to you is narrow,
      but you must enter it ; the road that leads to a wasted
      life is broad and smooth, and there is always company
      enough that way ; the gate is narrow and the road
      toilsome which leads to life in God's new world, and
      few discover where it lies. Do not be misled by men
      who beckon you another way they call themselves
      ' prophets/ and come to you, looking as harmless as
      sheep really they are greedy wolves ; you can tell what
      they really are by the mischief they cause. You do not
      gather grapes on the thorn-bush, or figs on the thistle,
      do you ? A healthy tree bears sound fruit, a decayed
      tree rotten fruit. It is not in nature for a sound tree
      to bear bad fruit, or for a rotten tree to produce fruit
      that is good to eat. Every tree that does not bear good
      fruit is fated to be cut down and burnt. This, then, is
      the test you are to apply you can measure their
      sincerity or otherwise by the kind of results they achieve.
      It is not a question of words merely, for not every one

      is THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT

      prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out devils, and
      by thy name do many mighty works ?

      23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you
      depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

      24 Every one therefore which heareth these words of mine,
      and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, which built
      his house upon the rock :

      25 And the rain descended, and' the floods came, and the
      winds blew, and beat upon that house ; and it fell not : for it
      was founded upon the rock.

      26 And every one that heareth these words of mine, and doeth
      them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his
      house upon the sand

      27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the
      winds blew, and smote upon that house ; and it fell : and great
      was the fall thereof.

      CHAPTER VII 19

      who calls Me ' Lord, Lord ' shall have a place in God's
      new world, but only those who carry out My Father
      God's will. In the day of My coming many shall say,
      ' Lord, Lord, have we not preached, saved men from
      the sway of dark powers of evil, healed them body and
      soul, and all in Thy name ? ' And after all I shall have
      to tell them publicly, ' You were never Mine ; depart
      from Me, you are rebels all of you.' All depends, you
      see, upon the reality of men's relations with Me. The
      man who listens to My words and carries them into
      action is like a sensible builder, who builds his house
      upon the solid rock. The rainy season comes, rivers
      rise, fierce gusts of wind come sweeping down upon the
      house, and yet it does not fall ; its foundation lies
      secure upon the rock. As for the man, whoever he be,
      who listens to My words and does not carry them into
      practice, he is like a heedless builder, who builds his
      house on loose sandy soil.- The rainy season comes,
      rivers rise, fierce gusts of wind batter the house it
      totters then down it comes in utter ruin !

    New Racist Student Club at Elementary School Says “No White Kids Allowed!”

    It’s truly aggravating when someone complaining about a problem is actually the problem. What’s even more irritating is when these same individuals blame everyone else for the problems they’re causing. For decades, America has struggled with racism. It most certainly existed, and at some level, it still exists today.

    But if you listen to the radical progressive left, racism in America is raging. White supremacy is running rampant throughout our society. Every white American has race phobia. Millions of Caucasian Americans hear these claims or read stories about “systemic racism” and ask themselves, “Where”?

    Racism isn’t happening in their neighborhoods. Racism doesn’t even enter their minds unless they hear some far-left parrot spewing the same tired racial narrative. America has battled for many years to heal its racial wounds. We’ve been remarkably successful. Ethnic diversity comes with different cultures and different ways of living. It’s human nature.

    But Americans of all colors and creeds predominately live in racial harmony. Racism in America is a fictional narrative pushed by the same people who insist racism is systemically rooted in our culture. It’s not. These self-absorbed elites must drive a wedge between people of different skin colors. They want a society filled with hatred and fear, just like them.

    The only way they can push their sick agenda is to target the largest portion of the U.S. population, white Americans. It’s the foundation of critical race theory. Americans of one color are terrible people today because a few other people of the same skin color made some mistakes in the past.

    It’s a senseless theory. But to make it work, these people must insist that all the other people of color are oppressed victims. They’re not. Many of them know it. Those who are ignorant of the scheme are those who have been dubbed by the left-leaning mainstream media. With the parrots in the media telling the country we’re all irretrievably racist, it wouldn’t enter people’s minds.

    But the radicals have a strategy. That’s why critical race theory was and is still being pushed in many of our schools. If the radical left can brainwash children into believing that everything in life depends on the color of their skin, they will have instilled a sense of racial fear in generations to come. It’s a revolting idea, but it’s happening in schools all across the nation.

    Despite many Republican-led states pushing back against critical race theory, deep blue lawmakers are using school systems to foster racial division. At one elementary school in the state of Washington, school administrators have approved a new student club. Centennial Elementary School in Olympia is where the club is being created.

    That is why throughout history some groups of people continually proved they were savages and happy being that way! Predominately civilized peoples mostly Whites or Europeans brought more culture and opportunity to various regions of the world making for a better standard of living for all; But there have always been malcontents and they still try to wreak havoc upon the good; it’s just that “primitive stupid behavior” rearing its ugly head that some just won’t shake off in order to move forward into the light out of their cavern of darkness!

    Don’t get me wrong, many of those primitives are more than glad to take the modern implementations and conveniences produced by their cultural betters of the world; but then again all they can do is use and abuse it all not wanting to contribute in like fashion; they are heathens! Look how many people these days are going backward with all the body piercings and tats covering every square inch of their bodies! Stupid is as stupid does!

    Checking the statistics on “usafacts.org”;
    In 2021 the US population was made up 41,685,901 non-hispanic blacks…..
    In 2021 the US population was ALSO made up of 192,392,642 non-hispanic whites.
    (BTW, for the record; I’m NOT white!)
    I ask; WHY and HOW is the minority RULING the MAJORITY????
    “feelings” ??

    Because If that’s the real case then something that has been suggested in the past now has corroborating evidence that needs to be heard… because now we have what was in the past called INSANITY running the entire country…. “Insane Asylums” need to be immediately constructed and all those in need of help placed in them.
    Anyone who thinks there are “more than 2 genders” cannot have graduated high school… or they are certifiably insane.

    Those that are certifiably insane need to housed and cared for away from the general pubic so the majority of people can prosper, and those mentally challenged can be cared for and possibly helped.

    Yes Aubrey, I believe we speak the same language and have the same honest common sense thinking that has always been human kinds best “ace in the hole” within some populations, but that has been tossed for what you said here; “INSANITY running the entire country…. “Insane Asylums” need to be immediately constructed and all those in need of help placed in them.” Absolutely and that would actually be the most humane thing we can do as a society for the betterment of all, rather than allowing this deterioration of society that is presently in full force!

    I said in other comments here and elsewhere that this is the root issue of how so much “Insanity” has been allowed to fester and propagate, to where now it’s even being raised up on a pedestal; in a sense worshiped by some and that is hell on earth!!!
    This will be the fall of humanity completely if not Stopped!

    Back in the early American society and in Europe Insane Asylums at times where down on every street or around the corner to house the barbaric and totally out to lunch; to separate them from typical hardworking decent folks!

    We have the opposite in society at this time and it is totally destructive to the good! I’m considered white and you say you’re considered black but skin color doesn’t even come into question where we are concerned, as I see it plainly that we are fully in agreement on the important issues! We have no racism or prejudice because we are sane and choose to see clearly what the fundamental truth is, period!
