Why are We here; Is it Worth Being Born?

“Total humility is the beginning of acceptance and understanding”

First this life and my thoughts now aren’t about believing in Santa Claus or not!

A year passed and have things changed; not really the same game but worse!

Let me ask you; do you really prefer to think that not being born would be better for you and your children? Because I can absolutely guarantee you that is exactly what the Devil wants you to believe, that master of all lies wants any of us to think we are defeated before we start. Start what you might say with; how about the greatest and most magnificent journey that the brightest of minds couldn’t imagine in a million years! A way for everything to add up and come out perfect! Who else can sort all of this out, but the author of existence, certainly we mere inklings of a shadowy concoction of energy, matter and substance don’t have a fart in the winds chance of coming up with The Solution to all that has, is and will be happening on this planet our home we call earth.

You see I’ve learned that God absolutely exists and God’s purposes and Plans are all that matter not we free willed sometimes foolish, silly or arrogant creations of; His. “Total humility is the beginning of acceptance and understanding” that we are here for a God given reason not our imperfect sometimes self-righteous thinking or vision of what this has to be about living among the dead as we do; for I say to you this isn’t really living not with a price on all of our heads that says nobody gets out alive! We are looking with eyes half shut or in many cases wide shut in which case even though we think they are open they see nothing, not the Truth of God; never really seeing the length and depth of all that is really going on, and is always beyond our grasp; yet it’s as plain and simple as the morning turns to night and after the night a new dawn comes. No degree in rocket science required, only a genuine humble heart on bent knee which will open not only your heart to God but will open up the ultimate world of possibility and endless love! Something must bridge that enormous GAP for us, and that can only be the One who set this all in motion to begin with! Being BORN into this at times so chaotic and even rotten world is I assure you a Blessing, and no matter who it is or what they have or don’t have, being able to exist is our one sure ticket to the Ultimate Destination. Which is to be with God the One who made this all possible and is always waiting first for our recognition of Him to acknowledge we know we are helpless babes in the woods and need Him above all there is in this existence! That He must be our primary focus and then to learn with His unrelenting undivided help and attention; to Trust in Him! If we are making this connection as individuals that I’m speaking about to you placing Him front and center in our lives, then that will ensure us of our lives being worth something and a whole lot more than we can ever come up with or concoct on our own for being here in the first place!

Life is the most beautiful incomparable gift and blessing of absolute LOVE! We are suffering here and some so much more than others;many through NO fault of their own but the world is riddled with sin and evils that effect even the most innocent among us! What’s fair and fun about that you might ask, and I say not much, that at times to me really sucks, that so much pain and suffering is going on and so many dreams and hopes getting dashed or crushed under the enormous weight and burden of sin, imperfection, stupidity, hate and the list goes on as you are well aware I’m sure! But for this to all get sorted out and for any of us to make heads or tails of it all, is a fool’s errand, unless we have God on our side, you hear that; God on our side. He actually is, that is why this whole damned world didn’t get wiped away like so much chaff in the wind long ago, to our concept of time; but really a flickering flame to God which He hasn’t extinguished yet! We are absolutely at His Mercy and He wants us with Him in His Glory! How do we get that you might wonder here; we start by wanting Him so badly that it becomes our life force and breath our very REASON for LIVING, so we can be a part of His heavenly eternal Glorious and totally wonderful kingdom! I see it clear my friend, we are so lucky to be here and each of us will be nothing but dust, these bodies in the end, with our souls damned to oblivion or complete separation from God’s glory, his eternal kingdom; not even being a memory without God setting the record straight and bringing absolute Justice to all things in His good time when it is appropriate for any of us!

Now that was coming from my own heart that God has opened and restored countless times because due to my own errors and shortcomings, He knows I belong to Him though I don’t deserve to in a sense, yet I do; because I decided with my Own Heart that I want to and must if I’m to be worth anything after it’s all said and done and this carcass I occupy is eventually in the dirt where it belongs, “the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak;” but my soul belongs to Him my Maker, who Gives, who gives all things; to those who love Him back! But how much grander is what comes for us if we stay strong in our faith no matter what, and “keep Jesus Christ front and center in our hearts and minds!”

Universe docu final — The star-forming region NGC 3603 – seen here in the latest Hubble Space Telescope image – contains one of the most impressive massive young star clusters in the Milky Way. Bathed in gas and dust the cluster formed in a huge rush of star formation thought to have occurred around a million years ago. The hot blue stars at the core are responsible for carving out a huge cavity in the gas seen to the right of the star cluster in NGC 3603’s centre.

1 Corinthians 2:9

9 But as Scripture says:

“No eye has seen,

no ear has heard,

and no mind has imagined

the things that God has prepared

for those who love him.”

Love must be a two way street and we can never give a fraction of what God is giving or ultimately offering!

Saint Dismas a scoundrel of a man and bad dude before he met Jesus Christ who was nailed to the cross next to his, he Dismas to the right side of Jesus saw all that transpired that day his final day, when his heart opened up like never before watching this man who said He is the Son of the Father in the heavenly Kingdom saying things like, “Forgive them Father for they know not what they do!” Dismas was so rapt in awe he asked this dying man the Savior to “just remember me when you join your Father in Your kingdom.” He as then in that moment being honest and humble having admitted he deserved every bit of what he was getting being tied to a cross and crucified for all of his crimes against men, as well wasting his life being a scoundrel, but, then surely as Dismas correctly said to Jesus, in essence his meaning being; you deserve none of what they have done to you, you have to be who you say you are, just by how you are forgiving these same people doing this to you, you have shown not even one complaint or modicum of anger or hatred, you are praying for them instead!

“One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”

But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”

Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”

—Luke 23:39–43 (NIV)

And so Dismas then asking Jesus in all humility and heart felt compassion not thinking in the slightest that he deserved even this opportunity to ask, the Messiah; “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Jesus answered him, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise” (verses 42-43).

“As Jesus was hanging on the cross, paying our penalty for sin, He made a promise to a dying, repentant thief. By the grace of God and the power of Christ, that promise was kept. The thief’s sins were washed away, and his death that day was his entrance to paradise.” gotquestions.org/today-paradise.html

What does “if God is for us, who can be against us” mean in Romans 8:31?

Romans 8:31 says, “What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” The “things” are the dozens of amazing proofs of God’s unfailing love listed in the preceding verses. Romans 8 contains many of the cherished verses that comfort us, such as “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (verse 1). And the one that gets us through difficult times: “We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (verse 28). Verse 31 of Romans 8 is a culmination of all those wonderful promises. It reminds us who God is and how He helps us. When we grasp the truth that God is for us, we have nothing to fear.

God is “for” us in the sense that He is on our side; He is working on our behalf and for our good. He has proved His benevolence in that He has adopted us (Romans 8:15), He has given us His Spirit (verses 16–17, 26–27), and He has determined to save us (verses 29–30).

The follow-up question, “who can be against us?” is rhetorical. It’s another way of saying, “There is no one who could possibly be more powerful than God” or “No one can destroy us.” The idea is not that we will never face opposition; it’s simply that our opposition is doomed to failure. They may be against us, but not successfully against us. Since God is on our side, we have nothing to worry about.

Romans 8:31 is an echo of other passages that say the something similar:

• Psalm 118:6 says, “The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”

• 2 Kings 6:16: “‘Don’t be afraid,’ the prophet [Elisha] answered. ‘Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.’”

• Psalm 56:9: “My enemies will turn back when I call for help. By this I will know that God is for me.”

• Hebrews 13:6: “So we say with confidence, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?’”

• Psalm 27:1: “The LORD is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?”

Sometimes our hearts respond to verses like this with consternation: “I’ll tell you who can be against me! The IRS, my in-laws, terrorists, corrupt politicians—” and the list goes on. Our real-life enemies seem to overshadow the ideas conveyed in Romans 8. Despite spiritual promises, we still have to endure physical, mental, and emotional struggles—so much so that we may wonder if God is truly for us.

The man who penned Romans 8:31 (Paul) faced the same struggles we face and many more. He lists some of his sufferings in 2 Corinthians 11:22–28 as proof that he did not write from a plastic bubble of ethereal peace. However, his intimate relationship with the risen Christ had become his all-consuming passion. He said he considered everything else “garbage” compared to knowing Christ (Philippians 3:7–9). He had learned the secret of contentment, whether he was celebrated or imprisoned, and he stated that secret: “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13, BSB).

So when Paul writes, “If God is for us, who can be against us,” he is comparing earthly opposition to the eternal power and presence of Almighty God—and he declares the winner. No one can overcome God’s love for us.

Jesus taught the same thing. In Luke 12:4–5, Jesus said, “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.” His point, as was Paul’s, is that, no matter what may happen to us here on earth, there is a higher reality. There is a bigger war than the one we think we face, and God is the ultimate winner (Ephesians 6:12). If we are on His side, then we will win, too. (Revelation 21:7–8, 27).” gotquestions.org/if-God-is-for-us-who-can-be-against-us

I Lawrence say with absolute confidence God is with us right now and never leaves our sides but we do have crosses to carry while here which is absolutely worth it! He Jesus Christ overcame all of this conflict and suffering and did it out of “Pure Absolute Love” and I tell you as I look around this world, me an imperfect nobody, I see so much I wouldn’t want to be any part of, yet I’m so happy to be dealing with the blood, sweat and tears of it all; because I have a shot through Jesus Christ of making sure that my life a gift from God was and is all worth it because He overcame all obstacles to Paradise; our path is to follow Him our Lord Savior and Redeemer. Amen.

I knowing through and by my own heart with Him Jesus Christ that we are going to make it there to the Promised Land, Hallelujah!

God bless you brothers and sisters!

Why America Will Disappear from World Prominence

Zero Lift-Off Only The Beginning

August 1, 2021

I’ve often wondered about this as many of you and others have through the decades and centuries! I had always had some interest in whether the Statue of Liberty and NYC with the United Nations being located there along with Wall Street a global trading financial hub would result in some specific Biblical prophecy but for the most part like multitudes of other people wasn’t connecting any dots indicating such a connection existed; until now! What follows are some Scriptural verses along with some of my own thoughts derived from recent developments in the Nations or Super Powers vying for World dominance and NWO then finally a writing on this subject that I just came upon which could very well be a most plausible reason why America isn’t mentioned in the final days leading up to Armageddon and Jesus Christ’s Second Coming to finally end this world.

“I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters”

Revelation 17:1-18
Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality, and with the wine of whose sexual immorality the dwellers on earth have become drunk.” And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality. And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: “Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth’s abominations.”

Look at what symbol now sits at the UN that was recently added as an icon of Peace!

This may very well be the infant Nation much newer and younger in comparison to all European and Middle East ones, the New Babylon the Great. Could it be The United States?

Liberty and Freedom are most definitely eroding here in the US just as they are throughout the world but this is a big deal here where our US Constitution and the Bill of Rights make it abundantly clear that American Citizens are supposed to be a Free and Christian People! As it was clearly stated by all of the Founding Fathers here is just one example of just how key and crucial a role Christianity and Freedom played in the establishing of this Republic under God!

Alexander Hamilton
First US Secretary of the Treasury
“In my opinion, the present constitution is the standard to which we are to cling…. Let an association be formed to be denominated ‘The Christian Constitutional Society,’ its object to be first: The support of the Christian religion. Second: The support of the United States.”
Apr. 16-21, 1802, Letter to James Bayard
That is a clear indication of what America was to be based on and represent for its People. Then there was this.
Patrick Henry
Member of the First Continental Congress, Governor of Virginia
“The great pillars of all government…[are] virtue, morality, and religion. This is the armor, my friend, and this alone, that renders us invincible.”
Jan. 8, 1799, Letter to Archibald Blai

And then this beautiful statement.

Thomas Paine
Writer, Revolutionary leader
“The cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind. Where, say some, is the king of America? I’ll tell you, friend, He reigns above.”
1776, Common Sense

I add these few additional statements by other Founding Fathers that make it quite abundantly clear what the mindset and actual principles of America were intended to be, and I say why America rose to such prominence, prowess and power as the leading Nation of all Nations around the Globe for hundreds of years; a very blessed Nation.

John Adams
Second President of the US
“We have no government armed in power capable of contending in human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other.”
1798, Address to the militia of Massachusetts
“The experiment is made, and has completely succeeded: it can no longer be called in question, whether authority in magistrates, and obedience of citizens, can be grounded on reason, morality, and the Christian religion, without the mockery of priests, or the knavery of politicians.”
1788, “A Defense of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America”

John Jay
First Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court
“Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.”
Feb. 28, 1797, Letter to clergyman Jedidiah Morse

George Mason
Delegate to the Constitutional Convention, called the “father” of the US Bill of Rights
“The laws of nature are the laws of God, whose authority can be superseded by no power on earth.”
Robin v. Hardaway, Gener

But here is the catch now for America and beyond! Most if not all of these prerequisites for this Nation under God to remain strong enough in a violent corrupted “Ways of The World” battle which the world has always been with all Nations feuding or attacking others, these precepts have been transgressed or marginalized to the point of practically being nonexistent and we can now see the results with mostly corrupted self-serving dirty scoundrel politicians and most despicable leadership on all fronts, with sin and blasphemies against God and his Commandments overflowing through this Land of once truly Free People. I call it a “Nut House” now with factions like BLM or Antifa and Corporate Groups that pull all the Punches and Shots needed in unison with all of the low life politicians; in order to rule this polluted system stepping all over our rights and even now attacking our health and happiness with injecting horrible untested concoctions into our bodies and having us “Lock Down” like prisoners while many criminals are set free to run loose and this while We the People are “Not Free” to move around; as we just witnessed for the last year and a half.

Please try to read on through the entire fairly short article; which will shed some light on what may very well be going on, and what to expect!

Mystery Babylon

Who is the Whore of Revelation 17?

Revelation 17:1 “And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, “Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”

There is a popular belief that mystery Babylon refers to the Roman Catholic Church. One of the books most often quoted in support of this idea is Alexander Hislop’s “The Two Babylons”. The problem with this view is the fact that there are many false religions on the face of the earth that are neither Catholic nor Christian! As will be seen, the scriptures speak about this woman, whose origins are from ancient times, long before Christianity took up the cup of her abominations!

The idol Ishtar, from the Babylonian empire, is very likely what is spoken of by Jeremiah the prophet as the queen of heaven (Jer 7:18; 44:16-19)

Jeremiah 7:18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other elohim, that they may provoke me to anger.

Is there any way of identifying this queen of heaven? Looking up Jeremiah 7:18 (quoted above) in a couple of references, we find the following:
1. In the commentary of the Ryrie Study Bible: The queen of heaven. The Assyro-Babylonian goddess Ishtar.
2. In the commentary of the NIV Study Bible: Queen of Heaven. A Babylonian title for Ishtar, an important goddess in the Babylonian pantheon.
3. In Ungers Bible Dictionary it says under the heading “Queen of Heaven” (Hebrew Meleketh hashshamayim, Jer 7:18; 44:17-19, 25) Astarte, an ancient Semitic deity, identical with Babylonian Ishtar (Venus)
Is there any symbol in the world today that represents the idol Ishtar?

Fact: One of the worlds largest idols that has ever been constructed is the Statue of Liberty in the harbor of New York City. According to the following research, the Statue of Liberty is an idol which represents something specific:

The sculptor of the Statue of Liberty was Auguste Bertholdi. He belonged to the Masonic Lodge in Paris. Before beginning the statue of liberty project, Bertholdi was seeking a commission to construct a giant statue of the goddess “Isis,” the Egyptian Queen of Heaven, to overlook the Suez canal. The statue of Isis was to be of “a robed woman holding aloft a torch” [The preceding information is from, “IS THE STATUE OF LIBERTY PAGAN?” by William Dankenbring]

If Revelation 17 is referring to Ishtar, represented by the Statue of Liberty, it would not only be the sins of Christianity, as would be the case with the Roman Catholic Church, but it would include most all false religions on the face of the earth, whereas Islam is possibly the beast. The beast hates the whore (Rev 17:16).
Continuing on in Revelation 17…
Revelation 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

It can be seen here that the whore rides upon the seven headed beast, which represent the seven empires that have existed throughout world history (see Daniel 7 and Rev. 13)
Revelation 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Mystery Babylon is guilty of being the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth. Even though the Roman Catholic Church has been referred to as the mother of the protestant reformation, the mother goddess Ishtar has even deeper roots.

It is interesting to note that ancient Babyon’s chief deity “Ishtar” (AKA “Iana”) held the very same title in Babylon, “Mother of Harlots”.

As Alexander Hislop shows, in his book entitled, “The Two Babylons”, Isis is the Egyptian name for the Babylonian goddess Ishtar, who is also the same as Athena (Greece), Minerva (Egypt and Greece), Astarte (Syria), Cybele (Rome), Ashtoreth (Israel), and Diana (Ephesus).

A site on the internet entitled, Statue of Liberty Facts, makes the following statements: http://yahushua.net/babylon/liberty/libertyfacts.htm
7 Spikes in the Crown represent:
Either Seven Seas:
Arctic, Antarctic, North & South Atlantic,
North & South Pacific, Indian.
SEVEN SEAS — Figuratively, all the waters or oceans of the world.
The phrase probably has its origins in Brahmanic (Hindu) mythology:
The seven seas dividing and surrounding the seven land masses of the earth. In modern times it has been applied to the seven oceans.
Or Seven Continents:
North and South America, Europe,
Asia, Africa, Antarctica, Australia

Continuing on with Revelation chapter 17
Revelation 17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Yahushua: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. 7 And the angel said unto me, “Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. 8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. 9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.” 10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

A familiar explanation of verse 9 is that the seven mountains represent the seven hills of Rome; but how many believe that the seven heads of the beast represent the seven hills of Rome? Notice that in verse nine, it says, “And here is the mind that has wisdom.” So, in order to understand the rest of verse nine, along with verse ten, it requires wisdom…
Proverbs 9:10 The fear of YHWH is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the set-apart is understanding.

In Daniel chapter 7, the seven heads are on four beasts (representing four kingdoms). But, in Revelation 17:10, it says that there are seven kings. So the seven heads represent seven kings, and by implication they can represent seven kingdoms. Can we identify seven kingdoms that have existed, starting from the time of the flood?
It says that five are fallen, one is, and the other is not yet come. From the time of the flood, there have been five kingdoms that have fallen: Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia and Greece. The one that was during the time of John was Rome. And one that had not yet come was the Ottoman Empire. It seems that the whore, that rides upon this beast, is the mother of all the false religions within these empires.
According to Revelation 13, the seven headed beast represents the final evil empire during the great tribulation (A culmination of the preceding 7 empires).
As we have already seen (in Revelation 17:1), this woman sits upon many waters. Then in verse 15…
Rev 17:15 And he saith unto me, “The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.”
It is interesting that the promoters of the Statue of Liberty claim that the seven spikes of her crown represent the seven seas!

Emma Lazarus (1849-1887)

The idol Ishtar (represented by the Statue of Liberty) was known, in ancient Babylon, as the goddess of personal freedom and the goddess of immigrants. The following was taken from, “America the Babylon” by Richard Coombs:
Ishtar was called the matron goddess of prostitution because she promoted sexual freedom. Indeed, she had invented the concept. Slaves considered her their goddess in the hopes of winning their freedom. Many women who gained freedom later turned to prostitution to survive and thereby retained Libertas as their goddess, especially if they became priestesses in the Libertas cult. Libertas was also a goddess of war in order to fight for freedom. She was also referred at times as the goddess of victory because freedom must have victory in order to survive. This goddess was also the goddess of immigrants. The whole idea of immigration connoted the idea of freedom. Her popularity was also unique because of her unique doctrine of hearing personal prayers. This unique doctrine was something that most of the pagan deity doctrines were not disposed towards.

We know that this goddess existed because of the records left behind to us. We have the ancient writings of Cicero who writes of this goddess and her Temple on the Aventine Way in Rome. She was depicted on some Roman coins as wearing a freedom cap and having a wreath along with a spear or sometimes a sword. Such coin images were not the only depictions. Sometimes she was well robed and at other times seductively unclothed in both sculptures and paintings. We know of Libertas being referred to as the Mother of Harlots by the famous Roman historian (and senator) Cicero’s writings. Cicero indicates that she was also a very early goddess of the Greeks even before early Roman civilization developed.

This very freedom has brought to these shores (America) every false religion known to man. Even if one were to have the wisdom of Solomon, they would still be vulnerable to the snares of false religions. Solomon committed fornication with the whore of Revelation 17…
1 Kings 11:4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other elohim: and his heart was not perfect with YHWH his Elohim, as was the heart of David his father. 5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
Remember that Ashtereth is another name for the Queen of Heaven. Again, Revelation 17, verses 1 and 15 call her a whore that sits upon many waters, which seems to represent the entire world!
Revelation 17:16-17 talks about ten kings hating the whore and making her desolate…
17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. 17 For YHWH hath put in their hearts to fulfil His will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of YHWH shall be fulfilled.
The Beast is going to be a one world religion/government that will not tolerate religious freedom of any kind. (see 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4)
Notice how the following verse in Revelation ties chapter 17, religious Babylon, with chapter 18, commercial Babylon…
Revelation 17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

By now it should be obvious that the Statue of Liberty represents the whore spoken of in Revelation 17. Not only does the Statue of Liberty represent the religious (idolatrous) freedom found in the United States, but she is also a symbol for New York City, the economic capital of Babylon the Great, spoken of in Revelation 18.

In closing I hope this has been an interesting eye opener for you and will at least help you to stimulate some further thought and conversations with others to seek out God’s Truth and Discern all past, Present and potential Future factors so that you will have the wisdom and insight god wants you to possess in order not to be fooled or led astray! As mentioned in Scriptures a serious horrible event would come about in End Time to eclipse all previous human attacks upon other people that would bring on unbelievable misery, suffering and death before the end!

The Weapon of Indignation will be released upon America by Putin to wipe-out its Grid and this powerful EMP weapon will cripple the entire military and all of its infrastructure plunging the once Great New Babylon the Great into the Stone Age essentially. Putin is the King of the North mentioned in Revelations and of an Atheistic Brutal Communist controlled nation based on the evils that Lenin, Marx and Stalin laid the foundation for through the last century after the 6th Earth Kingdom the Ottoman Empire came to a close; leaving us now with the 7th and final Earthly Kingdom! And it is very likely when one looks at a Global map drawing a line from Moscow in the north and finding it ends up crossing down though Kenya Africa in the South; so Putin is the one mentioned in the book of Revelation while Obama is the King of the South “from Kenya Africa” as he is the true and “Real Illegitimate Shadow President” of the United States who is now ruling America through Biden, and all his corrupted government cohorts; all of which serve Satan.
God bless you.

Why America Will Disappear from World Prominence

On July 30, 2021 By LFTBH AdministratorIn Current Events, MAGA

As noted before, America is nowhere to be found in Bible prophecy. But why would the world’s greatest superpower not play a part in God’s plan of the end? There are lots of potential reasons:

America could be attacked by those intent on our destruction.
Poor judgment by government officials could render America’s military lacking in power and ability to defend itself.
The US could become so distracted by domestic issues that our defenses let down.
Our American economy could collapse, leaving us unable to maintain a strong military.
Enemy regimes could launch a cyber attack, leaving us without ample power to respond.

OR…

The rapture might occur, taking millions of Americans (and others)!

That’s definitely my choice…how about you!?!

But let’s consider something going on in our nation that could play a part in total implosion. If you study history, perhaps you have noticed that immorality tends to precede the fall of nations. Consider what one of our founding fathers, John Adams, had to say:

I agree. How about you?

There are dozens of things that challenge America’s morals. The murder of millions of unborn babies. Rampant drug use…some of it now legal. Unchecked adultery and promiscuity. Lying, cheating and defrauding. Acceptance of homosexuality and all sorts of deviant behavior.

Even more disturbing is the level at which young people are exposed to such blatant and intentional godlessness. For example, 4th graders in Minnesota were given an “equity survey” and were explicitly told not to tell their parents! You can read that story here.

https://dailycaller.com/2021/07/26/students-were-told-not-to-tell-their-parents-about-a-fourth-grade-equity-survey-critical-race-theory/?tpcc%3D=newsletter

That is only one example of the effort by the socialist left to brainwash our children and lead them down paths of immorality and lawlessness.

The Bible teaches us that Israel will eventually stand alone, and that all nations will be brought before the Lord in judgment. Yet, there are people from all over the world risking their lives to break into the United States! Why is that?

Could it be that, despite the downward spiral happening in our country, America is still a great nation? As Mike Pompeo states, “America is exceptional!” Indeed we are, thanks to the grace of God.

Now the question: How do we continue to make America exceptional?

Not by might, nor by power. Not by political maneuvering, but by Christians becoming involved in every phase of society (including running for office)!

Where has God placed you? Are you being used by Him to advance His Kingdom?

23 Let’s hold firmly to the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; 24 and let’s consider how to encourage one another in love and good deeds, 25 not abandoning our own meeting together, as is the habit of some people, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
~Hebrews 10:23-25

As we consider what is being taught to our young people, let’s seek out ways to hold fast, encourage one another, and join together in worship. Let’s overcome the brainwashing, and let’s teach our kids truth from God’s Word. The day of Jesus’ return is drawing near. Are you ready?

What follows is my heart felt response to another blogger and advocate of good.

Thank you very much for your kind suggestion and consideration, as well for your thoughtfulness in making this gesture to me!

The sad thing about the main stream media is they too often sensationalize to exploit something as if normal business as usual practice or standard operating procedure! It being a billion dollar business or industry it’s doing so for purely monetary or political purposes falling in line with the ruling elite or some very powerful influential individuals, and not acting as any agent of public edification or some virtuous body of positivity to foster and improve anything; they only use and discard moving on to the next sensationalism. Look what the George Floyd media circus was really all about and how it enabled mobs to go out and victimize or destroy with no accountability! All over a man that was a criminal thug drug dealer and user with a long rap sheet never doing anything to better himself as a human being or help others in need as a charitable person would but instead selling dope to others that kills a sinful act; an action sanctified by media that caused losses in the multiple billions of dollars and death to many innocent persons! All of that while these domestic terror organizations like BLM and Antifa by generating so much mayhem further sensationalizing a story for the media to exploit further while these criminal perpetrators bring in billions of dollars of revenue support to use as they wish for personal material gain buying exclusive million dollar homes or to use in conducting further terrorist plans and fund other elicit operations like some kind of giant Mafioso crime syndicate organization. Comparing all that to a child getting his knuckles wrapped with a ruler or some other corporal punishment many decades ago hardly seems like a serious problem to be bringing to the fore in the midst of all this current mayhem; unless there is a hidden nefarious agenda or something in play, which there is; a very dark and sinister one! This agenda is currently and will be moving forward causing even more damage than all of the George Floyd riots did; and because of these hidden agendas or purposes, some of the most deadly nefarious persons are being allowed to get away with perpetrating such evil upon the naïve or confused public, all in the name of power and money.

Right now, today, we could point out instances of child neglect or abuse like the young girl that was paddled by teachers in a Florida elementary school an old corporal punishment practice; for her being totally unruly! So we do observe by this example how there are still indeed things happening which demonstrate how many things which are promoted or allowed as just everyday news are being promulgated throughout society by the major media outlets which are damaging people’s minds, especially the children with a toxic soup of negativity and confusing mixed messages; or even hidden agendas to condition the public, CIA stuff! We can point out how the Bible states in Scripture to spare the rod is to spoil the child; which sounds old fashioned to today’s let them get away with whatever appeasing mindset but what the matter boils down to is discipline and proper guidance which all children and adults must learn and abide by; or we end up with BLM and Antifa crazies running loose; a corrupted and enabled society! We are all now witnesses to a steady stream of propaganda that is not only damaging individual minds and hearts with poison; but the whole of society. Child abuse is happening right out in the open and all in the name of so called diversity acceptance and other such smoke screens for nefarious agendas. The Devil is sure getting his due today! I include an article I wrote which clearly points this out.

The Devil Gets His Due from the Devil’s Advocates

As to what I was originally saying about Native Americans my basis of commendation to many of them is that they are a people who had to accept huge changes that came to a land as humanity evolves, but have complained the least! And when many of them were in their old cultures or practices and some still are today, a virtuous noble people, that in my opinion always deserve credit and appreciation for setting good examples; like Jim Thorpe did, and multitudes of others! They grew to appreciate opportunity, and accept things they must facing adversity while therefore making the best of any given situation; so unlike what George Floyd did during his whole adult life of deprivation, being an ingrate and despot of society! I hate to use such a cliché but it fits too well so I must; you make your bed so you have to lay in it!

I would love to help Naïve Americans if at all possible and will if given that opportunity but not by attacking anyone or our Great Nation under God! Here I want to insert a bit of wonderful information that is a great testimony to my point I make here about Native People’s in the North American Continent!

“St. Kateri Tekakwitha is the first Native American to be recognized as a saint by the Catholic Church. She was born in 1656, in the Mohawk village of Ossernenon. Her mother was an Algonquin, who was captured by the Mohawks and who took a Mohawk chief for her husband.

She contracted smallpox as a four-year-old child which scarred her skin. The scars were a source of humiliation in her youth. She was commonly seen wearing a blanket to hide her face. Worse, her entire family died during the outbreak. Kateri Tekakwitha was subsequently raised by her uncle, who was the chief of a Mohawk clan.

Kateri was known as a skilled worker, who was diligent and patient. However, she refused to marry. When her adoptive parents proposed a suitor to her, she refused to entertain the proposal. They punished her by giving her more work to do, but she did not give in. Instead, she remained quiet and diligent. Eventually they were forced to relent and accept that she had no interest in marriage.

At age 19, Kateri Tekakwitha converted to Catholicism, taking a vow of chastity and pledging to marry only Jesus Christ. Her decision was very unpopular with her adoptive parents and their neighbors. Some of her neighbors started rumors of sorcery. To avoid persecution, she traveled to a Christian native community south of Montreal.

According to legend, Kateri was very devout and would put thorns on her sleeping mat. She often prayed for the conversion of her fellow Mohawks. According to the Jesuit missionaries that served the community where Kateri lived, she often fasted and when she would eat, she would taint her food to diminish its flavor. On at least one occasion, she burned herself. Such self-mortification was common among the Mohawk.

Kateri was very devout and was known for her steadfast devotion. She was also very sickly. Her practices of self-mortification and denial may not have helped her health. Sadly, just five years after her conversion to Catholicism, she became ill and passed away at age 24, on April 17, 1680.

Her name, Kateri, is the Mohawk form of Catherine, which she took from St. Catherine of Siena.

St. Kateri Tekakwitha was canonized by Pope Benedict XVI on Oct. 21, 2012. She is the patroness of ecology and the environment, people in exile and Native Americans.” catholic.org

All those rioters were actually encouraged by MSM (media) and government officials who promoted the entire George Floyd evil media circus of debauchery as though a good thing; have condemned themselves to great suffering here and in the next world; I assure you by the humble saintly name of St. Kateri Tekakwitha! They should all be cowering in shame and fear of God’s judgment, but they have none; as they have been touched and given the mark of not just sin but evil!

I appreciate the consideration and thoughtfulness on your part my friend.

God bless all involved in these benevolent aspirations to do good for others.

“Our society has been infected by an anti-life ideology, treating its most vulnerable members as disposable objects”

“Abortion that was once thought of as a last resort in a medical emergency has become the new normal”

I love this man Doctor Ben Carson for being a real human being and wonderful doctor who had performed countless brain surgeries, many of them on children making the difference in saving their lives and or giving a quality of life that would otherwise not have been! Here he worked hard growing up in a tough needy environment but yet he pursued goodness only wanting to do good in this world, and what is obviously the right thing to do! He put so much effort in saving human life; then we see the extreme opposite in the form of people like AOC a true wench and wretched human being just like Pelosi, Biden and all of the leftist hateful destructive self-worshiping derelicts of the pro-abortion ilk; so called doctors that tear apart little helpless human beings in a mother’s womb or now completely born just snipping their spinal columns or leaving the baby to die in a closet, and not calling that murder or batting an eyelash over it; what wicked humans they have become!

Look at what Doctor Carson says here and please realize we are looking at night and day or Good versus Evil in a world that is so out of control! Saint John Paul II another wonderful human being who grew up in Poland during WWII and on into the Soviet Union dominance of Eastern Europe with so much communist oppression and hate, yet he like Doctor Carson would do all he could to protect innocent human life and he did state in his writings how we now live in a Culture of Death which is exactly what Doctor Carson is pointing out!

God bless!

Devil’s Work: Our culture of death: The darkness is getting darker

The Light at the End of the Tunnel

From the Desk of Dr. Ben Carson:

Hello,
I feel like our culture has forgotten—or ignored—some very important and basic lessons when it comes to the development of human life.
Our society has been infected by an anti-life ideology, treating its most vulnerable members as disposable objects. Abortion that was once thought of as a last resort in a medical emergency has become the new normal.
Medicine tells us that life begins at the moment of conception. It also tells us when an unborn baby develops a heartbeat, brainwaves, and nervous system. Yet, despite all of this, the unborn are not treated as though they are alive or even human.
As a surgeon, I have operated on infants pre-birth. I can assure you that they are very much alive.

Dr. Ben Carson, Founder and Chairman of American Cornerstone Institute
Life is a precious gift that has been given to us from our creator. No person is disposable, and every life is precious according to Him.
I believe that everyone deserves life, even those who have been denied this right by our society. I believe that together we can make a difference and bring dignity and a voice to the unborn. I also believe that I’m not alone in this belief.
I believe that you believe that too.
I’ve started working with a group of like-minded individuals who are looking to change our culture. We want to build a society that values life but that takes people like you and I making a commitment.
The first step is clearly stating what we believe and what we are willing to do to protect the lives of the unborn. . Will you join me today and stand up for those who cannot do it for themselves?
I’ve created a new pro-life pledge; I’d love your support. Would you read the pledge below to see if you align with our shared goals and are willing to commit to fighting for the lives of the unborn?

Purpose and Sacrifice

“There is no greater love than this: that a person would lay down his life for the sake of his friends”

All souls are always being tested; but like no other time the process is building to a crescendo by factors that have never existed on planet earth!

“There is no greater love than this: that a person would lay down his life for the sake of his friends.” John 15:13

“24Then Jesus told His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. 25For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 26What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?” Matthew 16:24-26

“32Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father in heaven. 33But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven. 34Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.” Matthew 10:32-34

In this present extremely technological age, a very secular materialistic self-centered global culture the occasion of a person absolutely willing to give up his own life so he could allow others to live is even more rare today; but it happens. Back in the day I was told by some World War II Veterans; that acts of courage and complete sacrifice happened as they personally witnessed some soldiers singlehandedly run straight into a machine gun nest and toss a grenade into the encampment to neutralize the enemy that had been wiping out many soldiers as they were attempting to take the hill or high ground; but in the process this selfless duty bound soldier did what needed to be done, saving many of his fellow soldiers and advanced the goal of overtaking the enemy in order to win the battle and eventually end the war!

“My kind of people,” the real heroes who are the complete opposite of the bottom feeding parasites who occupy Washington and many places throughout who are the oligarchy elitists!

God bless them all! Amen.

“A dying breed, today these people are lazy; yes also arrogant and selfish.”

This past Wednesday I was at a retail shopping plaza where two major retail stores are located. I parked my vehicle in the parking lot in front of the store where I needed to buy the items. When I was finished I had just put my supplies in the vehicle and thought I actually do need to shop in the other store, but decided I don’t need to drive my vehicle through the large parking areas to get closer to that store, because I have two legs and I’m fully capable of doing the little hike over to the other store.

After shopping there I walked out with the shopping carriage and walked to the other parking lot and unloaded those items, and because the shopping carriage was the property of the store I just purchased those items from I thought that it wouldn’t be right to leave their shopping carriage in another retail outlets parking lot. So I wanted to take the hike through the parking lots to the front of the store and put that carriage in the area where it belongs. As I got there I suddenly saw another man coming around from behind some parked cars and trucks with a shopping carriage and he looked me straight in the eyes and said, “we’re a dying breed,” to which I replied yes that’s true people have changed, when he then said, “they’re lazy,” and I then added, very arrogant and selfish too.

I think God intended on that encounter to happen as a Godsend and it was a direct recognition of what I had been thinking about that day and much of the week, about how people have changed so much for the worse, in this present time. I thought how I’ve seen a drastic radical change in just the years since I was a boy to now, where things have grown progressively very sad and cold, very vicious; and how people like frightened animals are getting more nasty with each other while self-preservation is ruling their thinking as well as their hearts too much; making the old adage, “it’s a dog eat dog world,” very true. But this whole experience did fit what I had been contemplating writing in this latest essay, and served as an encouragement!

Now we come to what’s to me a very profoundly important conversation I had with a really good guy that works for the government locally who has an equally good wife and teenage children; a wonderful family! He and I would have lengthy conversations during the most harrowing time period in my life when it seemed for all intent and purposes that I had been fighting a long battle on my own because the system and most people are too jaded, corrupted or very heartless toward even a person who has been wronged and severely damaged both physically and emotionally primarily for speaking truth and taking a stand opposing the corruption; to only bring positive change. Then as this new found ally had put it, “it’s like you’re being tested by fire.”

Purpose and Sacrifice

What did Jesus say; that there is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for another? Sacrifice, isn’t this the ultimate duty of all who wish to do God’s will in this short life or temporary existence on earth? If we are to imitate Christ during our trials and tribulations here, should we do less, than to give up what is most precious to each of us, to freely give in to that, means to an end? To make an offering of our own selves out of love and compassion for others, so that in doing this we provide an opportunity for those who receive our ultimate sacrifice, to learn and grow in their own understanding and appreciation by our example, of what this life here is really all about, so that they who are and become more enlightened can know and fully appreciate the love that God has for each of us.

During a special conversation I had with this new friend I spoke about “The Thin Red Line,” and how I recognized that Jim Caviezel played the part of a Christ like figure named Witt; when he told the two younger recruits with him to go on ahead without him, to make their escape down the river, while he will distract the attention of the enemy, the Japanese soldiers, in order that these two innocent victims of circumstance, (they were unfairly assigned such a dangerous mission), can make their escape to safety. But, more importantly they will learn about selfless compassionate love, what it really means; to love one another also as I have loved you. This kind of act is obviously a moment of awakening, revelation and even rebirth. In that moment of self-actualization, those two young recruits were given the gift of continued life here in this physical plane of existence by another giving up his own precious life and blood, so that, more importantly they might go on to learn that it is not this life that is most important but rather, the Life to Come, and that what we all should recognize is that the belief of an eternal life to come is more real and precious than this temporary one could ever be. This life is like the mere flickering of a flame in its delicate balance between light and darkness, as it dances for a short while, only to be extinguished any moment without warning or recourse into oblivion. Not even a memory of the beautiful flickering flame of light would exist if not for the Power and Glory of God. Only through God’s Majesty and Glory can the inner meaning of pure never ending love be found or can our lives be of any real value, for without “eternal love” there can be no “purpose” or significance to anything we perceive and experience here in the flesh. “It’s only love that makes all of us greater than the sum total of these chemical and biological earthly forms,” and, it was the greatest love that began or sent forth this journey through time and space, in order that we may all be part of that “Glorious One’s Eternal Kingdom.” For now we are all mere babes in the woods seeking and only trying to find our way home, but, “having to learn that without love there is no way home” and more poignantly that “there is no home at all without absolute true love.” Only God can give and only God can take away, that which was given so freely and with absolute perfection. Yes, we all do ourselves, and, more importantly others, more good by laying down that which does not really belong to us, but, rather to God the Creator of all things. To know God and Love God with all of our being should be our main purpose as we journey forth always seeking to do God’s will.

As this scene in the story progresses to Witt being shot, it’s like he is suddenly seeing his life flash before him as I see it; but the place his soul is immediately experiencing on his way to heaven is seen as the time he had spent with the island children swimming under the ocean surf, so free and oblivious; quite carefree! Which to me is reminiscent of being born, going back to that most beautiful precious time any of us have experienced in our short lives; when completely innocent in our mother’s womb! Being in that tiny secure ocean of love and life so intimately connected and protected; insulated from the worries of the world, which once we came into it we immediately have to cry; and will many times to come!

Witt had a mission to take those two, wet behind the ears, fresh recruits sent on a dangerous mission that would surely get them all killed once surrounded by the enemy forces up the river; but Witt foreseeing just how potentially hopeless and fatal this mission was even for experienced soldiers, offered at the last second to accompany them! Once up the river heading into enemy fire and overwhelming numbers Witt decided that it wasn’t a fair assignment; especially not for those two young men! So he took it upon himself to give them the time they needed to get back to the platoon and safety while he distracted the enemy; drawing them away from the recruits but surely setting himself up for a fall! He laid down his life out of love for his friends!

There were variations on this theme, like when some WWII Army recruits were only 16 having fudged a document in order to meet the minimum age requirement to enlist and even made speedy progress to become battle hardened soldiers. One such soldier ended up in the thick of it being in some of the worst combat battles in the history of the war and singlehandedly fought off overwhelming enemy combatants in the battle field, saving many of his fellow soldiers! One such hero was a young man that joined the Army at 16 years of age who during the war rose to the rank of 2d Lieutenant and later after the war became a Hollywood movie star; Audie Murphy!

“He was one of the most decorated American combat soldiers of World War II. He received every military combat award for valor available from the U.S. Army, as well as French and Belgian awards for heroism.” Wikipedia

Watching this longer clip of the film “The Thin Red Line” gives a better sense of the heroic sacrifice that is required by some to fulfill a purpose that God ordains in His infinite wisdom by means of His will, to those he chooses to accomplish a given purpose which ultimately brings the intrinsic meaning or purpose to our lives in a multitude of situations; which is all centered on God’s eternal love, and there are many who do His will!

Who are we to question God or His ways and purposes! Didn’t He give up His only begotten Son our Savior Jesus Christ, to take away all the sins of the world; that all of us have and will commit! Sacrifice is crucial in all of our lives, at least on some level we should all be willing to sacrifice and give more than we receive!

Acts 20:35 “And I have shown you everything, that thus it is necessary to labor and to take care of those who are weak and to remember the words of our Lord Yeshua, who said, ‘He who gives is more blessed than he who receives.’”

Who is Jesus Christ to You?

God Bless This Real Woman and Child of God’s in the Most Precious Holy Name of Jesus Christ! Amen and Amen.

Deborah I was so touched and moved by this posting of yours, and even got tears in my eyes; thinking of the young girl you were back then having to feel such shame or ridicule in such a tender, gentle, innocent heart with so much love in it!

Yet you carried on with God’s Holy Spirit guiding you and giving you courage, as you would not let go of that one hand of Salvation that you held onto regardless of what this mean and ugly “Ways of the World” was saying; you would not let Jesus be taken away from you, so you endured the pain and sadness brought on by others so that you could be right where you are now; doing God’s will! Amen!

Thank you for your courage and most of all for your abiding, beautiful Faith in our Savior Jesus Christ who will save anyone that turns to Him in humility on bent knee and asks to receive His gift of eternal Love! Amen.
God bless you and yours!

Life Hub Inspirations

Don’t hide it. I remember when I was in high school, I felt too ashamed to carry the Bible. Most of the Bibles we had back then were big ones. You can’t carry one inconspicuously. Yes, I felt too embarassed to carry a Bible. Most of my friends did not carry the Bible along and seeing one wih a big Bible on hand gave a kind of different impression. They all tend to think you are that godly, angelic, holy saint. And then they would treat you like one until you make one mistake. It puts a great social pressure plus some laughs at you for carrying a Bible. I was definitely hiding my faith. Scared of what people thought of me. As for my beliefs, I wasn’t assertive about it either. I was not the kind who talks about Jesus unless a friend asked me about God and what…

Never Forget Pearl Harbor 1941

This is a great reminder to anyone reading it of what it took to put us Americans where we’ve been living for the last several decades since Pearl Harbor, in the best country on earth; but it came as always with a huge price! These days I know it’s safe to say that a large percentage of the American population perhaps even a majority now have no appreciation for these truths and many of them actually don’t care; that is a huge problem moving forward if this nation is to survive another several decades as a Free Nation with True Freedom for its citizens!

Back on December 8th 2019 I wrote this blog essay.
Putting Things in Their Proper Perspective
“THE BIBLE SAYS that the plan of salvation is so simple that even a child can understand it.”

Let me share a portion of that posting here with the link to further inspire others as I’m sure this fine blog posting is doing today as it does me! Because I deeply appreciate what all those past veterans did for us and our nation I really don’t think there could ever be enough said to even come close to showing the debt we in subsequent generation owe them! I only try to give my own deeply emotional perspective here as I have in the past and will always; as long as I’m alive on earth!

https://lawrencemorra.com/2019/12/08/putting-things-in-their-proper-perspective/

You know what’s wrong with so many ungrateful disrespectful, whining, antagonistic spoiled rotten Americans these days? They don’t know how to “put things into their proper perspective” having lived like spoiled rotten got it so damn easy selfish gimme, gimme takers with zero moral conscience, and now they set out to ruin the very land of milk and honey they are blessed to be a part of! Starting with our top government leaders many of which are doing all the wrong things for our nation under God which is the actual foundational heritage and history of how this nation was born and forged with blood, sweat, tears and great suffering to achieve all of the enormous blessings, prosperity and opportunity sitting on our laps here! These trouble makers today should be the ones living back during the time of WWII when push came to shove and 16 year old boys thinking they were men, and compared to many of the youth of today they absolutely were, fudged their birth documents and enlisted in the Armed Forces to go and fight unseen enemies for their country tens of thousands of miles from home sweet home like even some of my own relatives did! Then they saw hell on earth and fellow shipmates or others being killed before their eyes and being eaten alive by sharks in the Pacific Ocean as ships sank after being torpedoed in the ensuing battles after Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese, all leading up to the War being the biggest armed conflict on earth in history! What 16 year olds today would be willing to do that or even have what it takes to leave home for God’s sake where they have the cushy life and are so overly pampered or being brainwashed by stupid pop culture and nefarious mind-sets meant to control them making minions of them for communistic control which here in America the Democrat Party have been exacting upon the people for decades now!

President Franklin Roosevelt called December 7, 1941, “a date which will live in infamy.” On that day, Japanese planes attacked the United States Naval Base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii Territory. The bombing killed more than 2,300 Americans. It completely destroyed the American battleship U.S.S. Arizona and capsized the U.S.S. Oklahoma. The attack sank or beached a total of twelve ships and damaged nine others. 160 aircraft were destroyed and 150 others damaged. The attack took the country by surprise, especially the ill-prepared Pearl Harbor base; after which on the following day December 8, 1941 the President with the whole Nation behind him declared War on Japan.

In contrast to this today we have far leftist radical liberals declaring war on the Salvation Army, marriage between a man and a woman, protecting the unborn and even day of birth innocent babies, our Constitution, law enforcement, the military, Christianity, Judaism, Jesus Christ and even God as if they know better that there really isn’t any Creator and how they just appear to be hell-bent on attacking anything that is good or wholesome; could they be that devilish or obsessed and even possessed! These are the people that love ruin and suffering so wouldn’t it be nice if we could send them back to this period in our history and let them deal with that harsh reality of defending what is good and just!

The following is a bit more history on that horrible war before we get down to brass tacks of the mess people are making of things today!

“On 8 December 1941, after the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States declared war on Japan and became an active participant in World War II. For some months prior to that attack, however, the United States had been supporting China’s war against Japan with money and materiel. Pearl Harbor formally brought America into World War II, but it was an earlier American commitment to China that drew the United States Army into the Burma Campaign of 1942.

Japan had invaded China in 1937, gradually isolating it from the rest of the world except for two tenuous supply lines: a narrow-gauge railway originating in Haiphong, French Indochina; and the Burma Road, an improved gravel highway linking Lashio in British Burma to Kunming in China. Along these routes traveled the materiel that made it possible for Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalist Chinese government to resist the Japanese offensives into the interior.

In 1940 Japan took advantage of the German invasion of France to cut both supply lines to China. In June, with France focused on the war in Europe, Japanese warships moved into French Indochina and closed the railroad from Haiphong. A month later, threatening war if its demands were not met, Japan secured an agreement from the hard-pressed British government to close the Burma Road to war materiel temporarily.

The Burma Road reopened in October 1940, literally the sole lifeline to China. By late 1941 the United States was shipping lend-lease materiel by sea to the Burmese port of Rangoon, where it was transferred to railroad cars for the trip to Lashio in northern Burma and finally carried by truck over the 712-mile-long Burma Road to Kunming. Over this narrow highway, trucks carried munitions and materiel to supply the Chinese Army, whose continuing strength in turn forced the Japanese to keep considerable numbers of ground forces stationed in China. Consequently, Japanese strategists decided to cut the Burma lifeline, gain complete control of China, and free their forces for use elsewhere in the Pacific.”

To reiterate the severity and desperation this attack on Pearl Harbor wreaked upon our nation and indeed the world at the time here is an additional commentary about that event.

“The Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor began just before 8 a.m. local time Sunday morning, December 7, 1941. For over an hour, in two waves, some 350 Japanese aircraft—having taken off from six aircraft carriers 230 miles north of Oahu—attacked the naval base. Japanese forces wreaked havoc on US naval vessels and on US aircraft on the island’s airfield. In all, 2,403 Americans, including 68 civilians, died in the attack. In comparison, Japan suffered relatively light causalities—it lost only 29 aircraft and a few mini-submarines.

The American people were shocked, bewildered, surprised, and angered by the attack. On December 8, President Roosevelt addressed a joint session of Congress in the Capitol, his words broadcast on radio to the nation: “Yesterday, December 7, 1941—a date which will live in infamy—the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.”

There is a lot more to read in this long essay but here I insert this potion to bring it into s tighter perspective!
In other words you don’t see the forest for the trees and you think you offer some wisdom here when all you do is divert from the TRUTH which means you would be better to keep your trap shut and stay out of major world crises and stick to rolling another joint or picking your toenails, if this is going to be the extent of your offering to your fellow man! Read my other comments and consider that you have so much to learn in order to understand that God exists and there is a battle going on between “Good and Evil” and mankind is smack dab in the middle of that battle for a reason! Mankind is a minuscule agent in this existence and it’s not his plan but only the plan of the Most High and Holy One; God. In the meantime also consider where you would like your immortal soul to reside for eternity, which ultimately is something you are responsible for and only you will fail or succeed in making sure your soul will be in peace or anguish forever. Avoiding the truth that has been provided to mankind will be no excuse either because you have the basics you need to work with and can understand enough to decide for yourself.

“THE BIBLE SAYS that the plan of salvation is so simple that even a child can understand it.”

This is what I hope to convey to those multitudes I mentioned that don’t get it or don’t even care about the cost of Freedom and the total sacrifice made by some great men and women!
I close out with this excerpt which is from another posting I wrote December 7th 2019 that tied into the above posting perfectly and closed with these words.

“A Touch of Evil” that Will Not Dishearten God’s Elect!”
“through genuine humble faith on bent knee from the heart even if no larger than a mustard seed.”

https://lawrencemorra.com/2019/12/07/a-touch-of-evil-that-will-not-dishearten-gods-elect/

Yes you and I know who I speak about and we witness this abomination by the Greatest Nation on earth, but we must all pray and look beyond all of this wickedness that is trying to overshadow our Great Nation under God and not allow us to clearly remember who this holiday is about; “the one true power, honor and glory which it is about, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,” who will have the final say in everything in all of existence!

All I can say is, all of you faithful please keep praying to our Heavenly Father who is holding back from pouring out His wrath, but make no mistake about it the truth is upon us, we have enough proof my faithful friends; the winds of truth and justice are coming for them and all the other deceivers!

Stay in communion with the Holy Spirit by remaining faithfully vigilant in humble prayer and supplication for Him our Savior Jesus Christ, who loves us more than we can actually fully know and experience being outside of His glorious eternal kingdom; yet He made Himself one of us born of the virgin Mary His earthly mother, to prove without a doubt that we are here for one reason; which is that, through genuine humble faith on bent knee from the heart even if no larger than a mustard seed, that faith is the only other ingredient needed in our Father’s equation and plan for any of us to be united with Him in heaven for eternity.

And He said to them, “Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.” Matthew 17:20

So He was saying, “What is the kingdom of God like, and to what shall I compare it? It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and threw into his own garden; and it grew and became a tree, and THE BIRDS OF THE AIR NESTED IN ITS BRANCHES.” Luke 13:18-19

A Blessed and Merry Christmas to All of You!

Oklahoma Says No to Biden’s Military Vaccine Mandate

“Live Free or Die!”

Fantastic News and Posting!

This is where and how the rubber meets the Road! As in Hit the Road!

God bless Oklahoma’s Military Service Personal and their Leadership!

This is what I’m talking about; let that dictator in the White House who doesn’t appreciate Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness along with his not giving a rat’s ass about America and all those individual Citizens who put it all on the line to preserve and protect this Great Republic under God! How could he when all he has been for the last 50 years is a politician racketeer parasite feeding on anything or person that he could!

This is how We the People Stand Up Against Tyranny and Communism which is being promoted and installed in America mainly because of the “Traitors” like Joe Biden who have been in bed with Communist China’s CCP and government for decades; slowly but surely socking the screws to America and Her People as these Traitors like Biden and even his own son, sold us out while wheeling and dealing for millions and billions of dollars for themselves! These are the “dregs of the world” that have no conscience or ethical principles of morals that God Almighty expects from all of His children on this earth!

Yes I see the bleak future ahead for America and the World, because this world is doomed; it is all spelled out in the Holy Scriptures and “Jesus Christ is Coming Back” to finalize all of creation, judging the living and the dead to set the record straight as to who and what belongs in Hell and so beautifully; who will be with Him for Eternity in Heaven.

Yet we are obligated to do the right thing to the best of our ability in “good God given conscience” always remaining vigilant while we carry on in our lives here; because there is a right and a wrong, so we must choose of our own “Free Will” whether we stand up for Jesus and all He taught the world, or would we prefer joining all those fallen evil forces of Hell being banished and separated from Almighty God for eternity!

This world is not nor can it ever be a rose garden or anyone’s bowl of cherries as some nefarious tyrants so think now, as they keep grabbing and building their ill-gotten gains, growing an earthly empire based on money which is the root of all evil! We who believe in Jesus Christ our Savior and Redeemer know better! And therefore we seek the “one and only answer to a life and everlasting empire,” a true victory which is in Heaven that calls to our hearts daily through the “Holy Spirit to Follow Jesus” because He is the “Way the Truth and the Life!” Amen.

God bless Oklahoma and all of America’s Military Personnel as they are being put to the test; that they can stand tall shoulder to shoulder throughout this Nation under God and resist this tyranny NOW!

We have always been a Free People which was only so provided by God and all those Patriots who laid it all on the line many times to preserve the one thing all must fully appreciate; FREEDOM! And by God; if we must die Free fighting to maintain this core principle; then so be it!

God bless you my Fellow Patriot Americans!

“FREEDOM IS NEVER A GIVEN BUT ONLY ACHIEVED WHEN PROTECTED”

The state of Oklahoma has sued the Biden administration over the Defense Department mandate forcing National Guard members to get the experimental COVID-19 vaccine, calling it an unconstitutional and dangerous overreach by the federal government.

The lawsuit, filed Thursday, seeks a temporary injunction and a permanent restraining order against the mandate. It also asks the court to block a threat by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to effectively withhold funding and salaries for the Oklahoma National Guard and Guard members in the state.

Secretary Austin ordered that all members of the National Guard and Reserve to get vaccinated against Covid-19 or facing loss of pay and being marked absent without cause from drills and training.

The suit intensifies the exceptional clashes of will between Pentagon leadership and states such as Texas, Oklahoma and Florida.

Governor Kevin Stitt (R) called foul on Austin’s demand was a “readiness issue” and that unvaccinated Guard members will…

Hebrews: Anchor of the Soul

“We struggle privately” this is so true and yet a gift as it offers us another opportunity to commune with our Heavily Father in that bare-naked suffering or our pains through Jesus Christ our being moved by His Holy Spirit to learn, see and understand His Truth which is all that matters not any approvals from others or the Ways of the World which is corrupted and fallen!

“The unchanging nature of God’s word and God’s character are grounds for confidence in God.”

I know something about this directly from God because once when in deep devotional prayer during my very painful trials and tribulations I contemplated from my knowledge of finite matter and this existence we are physically part of or attached to when I asked God please tell me how can this be understood better to know a bit more about from where it is we have fallen and suddenly as I lay contemplative almost sleeping a voice from God said to me, “God is matter not of this realm!” It was a beautiful caring and strong voice like a fatherly figure as I reflect back on it. Then when I heard this I became so thankful and overjoyed that I was given a better grip on reality and what is going on here! We truly are in God’s loving precious hands with nothing to fear but fear itself and our sufferings are never in vein if we are seeing and accepting God’s New and Everlasting Covenant with us human beings the Children of God!

So therefore I say with complete confidence that our wonderful Sister Joanne has provided this great clarity in mentioning this “unchanging nature of God’s word and God’s character.”

This is a foundational precept extolled upon us through the ages in prophecy and all of God’s word given to us through the prophets and then our Lord Jesus Christ Himself with His shed blood as the one and only sacrificial lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world so that we through His love, word and sacrifice are saved all in accordance with our Holy Father’s plan. That like His first disciples we should all follow Him becoming true disciples of Jesus Christ in fulfilling the Holy Scriptures His word and Promise!

“Jesus actually fulfilled the requirements of God’s first conditional covenant by living the perfect, sinless life. You and I can enter into God’s new, unconditional covenant of peace and restoration by Jesus’ good works when we receive Him as our Lord and Savior by faith.”

This Friends, Brothers and Sisters, is the story in a nutshell!

“We are anchored in heaven by Jesus Christ. Because He is faithful, we are secure.”

“Jesus alone is a strong enough anchor rope on our lives to keep us securely bound to the throne of God.”

Hallelujah praise God and his glorious Son our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Amen.
Brother in Christ Jesus,
Lawrence Morra III

Grace and Peace, Joanne

The writer had given nearly three chapters of exhortation, dire warnings in stern language. Now he turned to encouragement, feeling certain his audience would respond to God’s call through his letter.

God’s Great Promises

God will never forget God’s devoted servants

Even though we speak in this way, beloved, we are confident of better things in your case, things that belong to salvation. For God is not unjust; [God] will not overlook your work and the love that you showed for [God’s] sake in serving the saints, as you still do.
And we want each one of you to show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope to the very end, so that you may not become sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Hebrews 6:9-12 (NRSV)

This is an encouragement for you and me today as well…
