I felt led again to address this threat to Western Civilisation, Christians & last but not least Israel & Jews worldwide. Islam is not just another religion, but is totalitarian, oppressive system that honours violence, death & terror: Muslim Crowd DEAD SILENT After Daniel Johnson’s Gives Brutal Details on Islam! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlEVi6cysSk We have even seen recently in Australia, with the hatred vented by 2 nurses towards a Jewish person, that the government & judicial authorities refuse to call it by it's name. They are quick to call it "right wing extremism or Nazis" but not: Extreme radical Islam ! Please listen to this speech from all well known ex-Muslim born & raised in Gaza ! Mosab Hassan Yousef EXPOSES the SHOCKING Truth About Islam That NO ONE Dares to Admit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uEXC_M8vWs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tECapgdWXE Below is the Sana oldest Quran in existance (40% missing).

In an age of increasing government overreach, moral relativism, and open hostility toward Christian values, believers across the West are facing a steady erosion of their freedoms. Religious liberty, once a pillar of Western civilization, is now treated as an inconvenient relic of a bygone era. The right to publicly express Christian convictions is being curtailed under the guise of “tolerance,” and those who refuse to conform to the reigning secular orthodoxy are ridiculed, censored, or even punished. How should Christians respond? Should we resign ourselves to the fate of cultural obscurity, hoping to practice our faith quietly in the shadows? Should we compromise with the world to maintain a modicum of peace? Or should we resist with unwavering faith, prepared to suffer for Christ? 1. Recognizing the Signs of the Times The first step is to acknowledge reality. Too many Christians still cling to the false hope that things will “return to normal,” failing to recognize that we are living through an epochal shift. The West is not merely in decline; it is in active rebellion against God. As Isaiah warns: “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness” (Isaiah 5:20). The loss of freedoms is not happening in isolation; it is part of a larger war against truth. The sexual revolution, radical individualism, and the denial of natural law are not simply social trends—they are manifestations of an anti-Christian ideology that seeks to dethrone God and enthrone man. To respond correctly, Christians must reject the illusion of neutrality. The world is not indifferent to Christ—it hates Him (John 15:18-20). The sooner we understand this, the sooner we will realize that compromise is not an option. 2. Strengthening the Church and the Family As public institutions fall deeper into corruption, Christians must fortify the two institutions ordained by God: the Church and the family. These are the last bastions of truth, and if they crumble, so too will our ability to resist. The Church : Too many churches have bowed to the spirit of the age, preferring social acceptance over biblical fidelity. Pastors must return to preaching the whole counsel of God, even when it offends. Churches must not only offer Sunday worship but serve as strongholds of Christian community—centres of discipleship, education, and mutual aid. The Family : The destruction of the family is one of the primary tactics used to weaken Christian civilization. Parents must reclaim their God-given duty to educate and form their children in righteousness. Home-schooling, classical Christian education, and intentional family discipleship are critical. A strong, faith-filled family is an act of defiance against the forces of cultural decay. 3. Practicing Civil Disobedience When Necessary When laws and policies contradict God’s commands, Christians are not obligated to obey them. The Apostles themselves declared: “We must obey God rather than men” (Acts 5:29). Throughout history, faithful believers have refused to bow to unjust rulers. The early Christians defied Rome’s demand to worship Caesar. The Reformers refused to submit to corrupt ecclesiastical authorities. In modern times, Christians behind the Iron Curtain secretly gathered to worship despite government prohibitions. This does not mean seeking out conflict for its own sake, nor does it justify violence. But it does mean standing firm when pressured to deny biblical truth. Whether it be refusing to use false pronouns, keeping churches open despite lockdowns, or rejecting indoctrination in schools, Christians must be prepared to suffer for obedience to Christ. 4. Building Parallel Christian Societies As Western institutions become increasingly hostile, Christians must begin constructing parallel systems that allow for the free exercise of faith. This includes: Christian Schools & Home-school Networks – Protecting children from state propaganda and ensuring they receive a Christ-centred education. Christian Businesses & Economies – Supporting faithful enterprises that resist the demands of woke ideology. Christian Media & Platforms – Creating alternatives to mainstream outlets that distort truth and silence believers. Christian Community & Mutual Aid – Forming local networks to support one another through persecution, financial hardship, or legal battles. This is not retreat; it is strategic resistance. When pagan Rome collapsed, it was Christian monks, scholars, and families who preserved knowledge and rebuilt civilization. The same calling now falls to us. 5. Cultivating the Virtues of Martyrs Ultimately, our greatest weapon is not political power or cultural influence, but holiness. The early Church did not conquer Rome with armies, but with faithfulness unto death. The loss of freedoms should not drive us to despair, but to a renewed commitment to Christ. “Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10:28). We must pray for the courage of the martyrs, the wisdom of the saints, and the endurance of the early Christians. We must be willing to lose everything for Christ—our jobs, our reputations, even our lives—knowing that in the end, the victory belongs to God. Conclusion: The Time for Lukewarm Christianity is Over The age of comfortable Christianity is ending. The cost of discipleship is rising, and every believer must decide: will we conform to the world, or will we take up our cross and follow Christ? There is no middle ground. Either we resist the forces of darkness with faith, courage, and love, or we will be swept away by them. But let us take heart, for our Lord has already told us the outcome: “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). Let us then press forward with unwavering faith, ready to defend the truth, strengthen our families, and prepare the way for revival.

Quite some years ago already , I heard about churches having "Santa" or any sort of pagan paraphernalia included in some of their Christmas services. I know that apostacy has been prophesied, but you still sometimes stand in amazement what pastors introduce & allow in their churches. I personally think you have lost the plot, if you do as a pastor & church as a whole. The modern-day Santa Claus is an American version of Saint Nicholas, a fourth century Roman Catholic bishop from Asia Minor who was noted for his good deeds and gift giving. This tradition first spread throughout Europe, and then found its way to America by the early Dutch settlers. Since God's word warns us to BEWARE of tradition (Col. 2:8), we shouldn't be surprised to find the Devil right in the middle of the world's most celebrated holiday. Lucifer's desire has always been to dethrone God and exalt himself (Isa. 14:12-15). He desires worship (Luke 4:7; II Ths. 2:3-4). Perhaps you've never thought of it, but please note how Satan robs the Lord Jesus Christ of His glory by spreading the Santa Claus tradition... SANTA IS ETERNAL a child knows nothing of his beginning. To a child, Santa has just always existed. JESUS CHRIST IS ETERNAL "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." (Rev. 1:8) SANTA LIVES IN THE NORTH Tradition holds that Santa Claus lives at the North Pole, a place ABOVE the rest of us. JESUS CHRIST LIVES IN THE NORTH "Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King." (Psa. 48:2) SANTA WEARS RED CLOTHING Santa wears a red furry suit. JESUS CHRIST WEARS RED CLOTHING "And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God." (Rev. 19:13) SANTA HAS WHITE HAIR Santa is always pictured as an old man with white hair like wool. JESUS CHRIST HAS WHITE HAIR "His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;" (Rev. 1:14) SANTA FLIES AROUND GIVING GIFTS Santa has the ability to defy the laws of gravity and fly around giving gifts to people. JESUS CHRIST ASCENDED AND GAVE GIFTS UNTO MEN "But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men." (Eph. 4:7-8) SANTA IS COMING SOON During the Christmas season it is emphasized over and over that "Santa is coming". JESUS CHRIST IS COMING SOON "He which testifies these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus." (Rev. 22:20) SANTA IS OMNISCIENT Children are taught that Santa "knows when you've been good, and he knows when you've been bad". JESUS CHRIST IS OMNISCIENT "The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good." (Pro. 15:3) "And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?" (Mat. 9:4) SANTA IS OMNIPOTENT He has the ability to carry presents for over a billion children. JESUS CHRIST IS OMNIPOTENT "And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." (Mat. 28:18) SANTA IS OMNIPRESENT Santa must be omnipresent, because he has the ability to visit over a billion homes in a twenty-four hour period. That's over 1100 per second! JESUS CHRIST IS OMNIPRESENT "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." (Mat. 18:20) SANTA HAS SPIRIT HELPERS CALLED ELVES Webster, 1828: "ELF...a spirit, the night-mar; a ghost, hag, witch" JESUS CHRIST HAS SPIRIT HELPERS CALLED ANGELS "Then the devil left him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him." (Mat. 4:11) SANTA - SANAT - SATAN? Sanat Kumara is worshipped by some new age groups as God. H.P. Blavatsky, the mother of the new age movement, said on page 350 of her book, The Secret Doctrine, Vol. 2: "The name isn't important. It is the letters". "Santa" has the same letters as "Satan"! According to G.A. Riplinger, "Ole Nick" is listed as the name of a fallen angel in the Dictionary of Fallen Angels. (New Age Bible Versions, Gail Riplinger, pg. 53) Friend, don't glorify Satan by giving the glory and attributes of Jesus Christ to Santa Claus! Santa is a COUNTERFEIT GOD, and you are honouring Satan when you teach your children to believe in Santa! Christians should teach their children the TRUTH. We should glorify God by teaching our children about Jesus Christ and His saving grace!

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?tab=rm&ogbl#inbox?projector=1 For those who love Jesus, Israel & the Jews in general we have had to justify the Jewishness of our Messiah more then ever before. The de-judaization of Yeshua is not a new concept, but until recently, taking His Jewish roots away from Him was always done to make Yeshua more into a blue eyes/blond hair Gentile than anything else. For the most part, when people made Yeshua look more like a Gentile than a Jew, it was either out of ignorance or possibly because of a mild case of cultural appropriation. When corrected, these people usually accept the fact that Jesus was a Jew. "Christian" Palestinianism Jesus, the “Palestinian” comes from a completely different agenda. It is still considered an attempt at the dejudaization of Yeshua, but for different reasons. It falls into one of the three Ds of Natan Sharansky’s antisemitism test. Trying to turn Yeshua into a Palestinian is part of the delegitimization agenda of the enemies of Israel. The concept would have never worked two or three decades ago, but armed with patience, the pro-Palestinian faction pressed on with their propaganda. Historical revisionism finally seems to be paying off. During the 2024 Christmas season, the Vatican received a gift from Palestinian artists. It was a baby Jesus, Joseph, and Mary made out of olivewood, resting in a manger… wait for it… the manger was covered with the Palestinian keffiyeh (head covering made popular by PLO leader Yasir Arafat.) A photo of Pope Francis sitting in a wheelchair and admiring the nativity scene was circulated worldwide through the Internet, only to quickly be removed after receiving a lot of backlash. The Palestinian Jesus was borne out of a faulty theology known as Christian Palestinianism. It is the same theology promoted by the creators of “Christ at the Checkpoint.” The agenda aims at re-writing history to take everything Jewish out of the Bible, including Jesus’ Jewish heritage and identity. Christian Palestinianism is Replacement Theology on steroids and is very dangerous. Here are six reasons why: A Distortion of God’s Word The promise of Genesis 12:1-3, made by God to Abraham and the Jewish people, still stands. Blessings or curses will follow those who treat Israel and the Jewish people accordingly. The land boundaries of Genesis 15:18-20 have never changed and have yet to be fully fulfilled: “To your descendants I have given this land, From the river of Egypt as far as the great river, the river Euphrates: the Kenite and the Kenizzite and the Kadmonite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Rephaim and the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Girgashite and the Jebusite.” Why is it that almost nobody questions the historical and biblical revisionism of people like Stephen Sizer, Naim Ateek, Elias Chacour, Munther Isaacs, Gary Burge, Hank Hanegraaff, and the like? We are seeing 21st-century Christians blinded by reports of occupation and ethnic cleansing against Palestinians completely turn their back on Israel. But even more than changing one’s interpretation of the Bible, we also witness rejection of the inspired Word of God. A Rejection of God’s Word Christian Palestinianist Naim Ateek wrote in Sabeel’s newsletter Cornerstone: “The lesson is clear for me: whatever does not agree with the hermeneutic of God’s love for all people has no authority for us and must not be read even if it is written in the Bible…Jesus had a hermeneutic of God’s love for all people and Isaiah’s words did not comply with that criterion.” This desire to ignore and even reject Scripture from the Old Testament simply because it appears to be “in conflict” with later teachings of Yeshua is strangely reminiscent of Islam’s “Law of Abrogation,” when Qur’anic verses can be annulled when historically superseded by contradicting ones. Such an approach to God’s Word is inherently wrong, yet many Evangelicals take their lead from people like Naim Ateek on what they perceive to be a valid biblical approach to the Middle East crisis. Biblical illiteracy is running rampant within the Evangelical Church, and it creates a very shaky foundation upon which historical revisionism can be built with very little challenge, if any. Christian Palestinianists excel at biblical revisionism. In both cases of distortion and rejection of God’s Word, the authority of the Bible is put in question. The God of the Bible, who is the God of Israel, as well as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, is made into a different god. This allows for the insertion of a revised agenda favoring the Palestinian people at the expense of Israel and the Jewish people. The concept of Eretz Yisrael (the land of Israel) being the Palestinian homeland and that of the existence of a native Palestinian people were already looming over the horizon a couple of decades ago, but today, it is no longer discussed. The land ownership is accepted without questions. The false premise of a biblical Palestine was propaganda long enough to become truth, with there no longer being a need to have the information checked for biblical accuracy. A One-Sided Reconciliation Accusations of “apartheid,” “colonization,” “ethnic cleansing,” or “Nazification” of Palestine are constantly brought up without ever speaking of terrorism, rocket attacks, human rights violations, or bloody murder ordered by Palestinian leadership of both Fatah and Hamas. Islamic terrorism is simply dismissed and, in some cases, even justified. Christian Palestinianism offers a one-sided reconciliation, and that, of course, is no reconciliation at all. God is not a Covenant Breaker Christian Palestinianism changes God from a covenant maker and keeper to a covenant breaker. While it might not be clear to many Evangelicals yet, for Christian Palestinianism to exist, Israel has to cease to exist. What better way to postulate that Israel has become irrelevant than to say that God’s covenants with the Jewish people have been changed? If God had reneged on His covenant or changed the original recipients of His covenantal blessings, it would become obvious that He is done with Israel and the Jews. But God never changed His mind when He said to Abraham: “I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you. I will give to you and to your descendants after you, the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.” If God were a covenant breaker, He would also have to be a liar. 1 Samuel 15:29 tells us otherwise: “Also the Glory of Israel will not lie or change His mind; for He is not a man that He should change His mind.” A Demonization of Israel Once one is convinced that God is finished with Israel and the Jews, it becomes easier to extrapolate the generalization that Israel is the cause of evil against the Palestinians. The accusations against Israel come from Palestinians, Liberals, and some Evangelicals. They come so strongly that, at times, it becomes difficult to define one source from another. Additionally, the liberal media has absolutely no other agenda than demonizing the victims and victimizing the perpetrators. Facts no longer matter in our postmodern global village. As a matter of fact, radical anti-Zionism is now part of the fabric of society and is in the process of becoming the standard by which one measures his/her degree of tolerance and multiculturalism. French author Pierre-André Taguieff developed it further in his book Israel et la Question Juive when he wrote: “Intellectual and political conformism moves alongside radical anti-Zionism, having nothing to do with a critique of Israel’s politics but rather aiming at the final destruction of the Jewish State.” A Promotion of Islam In her book Eurabia: the Euro-Arab Axis, Jewish author and activist, Bat Ye’or, describes Christian Palestinianism as “Palestinian Marcionism:” “The Christian policy that would eliminate the Jewish source of Christianity by suppressing the link between the Hebrew Bible and the Gospels represents an old and lingering trend, always opposed by the Church. Today, Palestinian Marcionism (Palestinianism) paves the way for the Islamization of the Church as it prepares mentalities for an Islamic replacement theology… and encompasses the whole paraphernalia of traditional antisemitism.” Bat Ye’or’s assessment has tragically proven true in the last few decades. Christian Palestinianism is well on its way to de-judaize Yeshua–a job that the gentile branch of Christianity generously contributed to, out of ignorance and sometimes, pure hatred of the Jews over the centuries. Christian Palestinianism will also continue to invalidate much of the Jewish Scriptures as history gets re-written and Jewish references get replaced to accommodate the “Islamization” of the Bible. The Palestinian Jesus can only exist if we ignore biblical truth. To accept that Jesus was the first Palestinian, we first have to agree that Palestinians are real people from the land of Palestine, currently called Israel. That is a false premise to start with, but it needs to be understood as such. Once we are beyond the false premise of Palestine, we also need to stick to the biblical proof that Jesus was a Jew and the Bible is replete with that kind of data. Following are a few examples: *Jesus was a descendant of Jewish patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob – Genesis 22:18; Matthew 1:1-2 *Jesus came from the Jewish tribe of Judah – Genesis 49:10; Hebrews 7:14 *Jesus was a Jewish prophet like Moses – Deuteronomy 18:15-19 *Jesus was from the line of Jewish king David – 1 Chronicles 17:10-14 *Jesus had Jewish parents – Luke 2:39 *Jesus was circumcised on the eighth day according to Jewish law – Genesis 17:11-14; Luke 2:21 *Jesus was a rabbi – John 1:38, 6:25 *Jesus celebrated the Jewish Feast of Passover – John 2:13 *Jesus celebrated the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles – John 7:2 *Jesus celebrated Hanukkah – John 10:2 *Jesus was called the King of the Jews by Pilate – Mark 15:2 So, no, Jesus is not a Palestinian. Jesus is a Jew. As a matter of fact, He came to the Jewish people first, but eventually, He extended His salvation program to all people who trust in His death and resurrection. Jesus came as the Messiah of Israel, but He became the Saviour of the world. He never was and never will be a Palestinian, but He died for every Jew, Arab, or Gentile in the world, no questions asked and no strings attached.

How good a report card would the church in general get, if we honestly & unbiasedly compare it with the how our Lord addressed the 7 churches in Revelation 2 & 3? From my observation when the church got all "seeker sensitive" & "purpose drive" & "community focussed" (through "social action") we lost the power of the Gospel & more!

What happened in Syria since 2011 was NOT a civil war. It was a proxy war waged by 100,000+ jihadists flown into Syria from all over the world. In 2010, the NY Times travel section listed "31 best places to visit in the world." And Damascus - capital of Syria - was ranked #7! The West once loved Assad. He was called the "Lion of Damascus." * France gave him the highest award -- Legion of Honour. * Queen Elizabeth invited Assad and his wife * Nancy Pelosi flew to Syria * European + Arab leaders met with him all the time * Even the Pope went to Syria Syria under Assad was secular and moderate. Sunnis, Shiites, Christians, Alawites, Kurds, Armenians in the mainly got along with each other. No Al Qaeda, no Sharia Law, no Muslim Brotherhood. In a 2009 Zogby poll - an American firm - Assad was the most popular leader in the region! But the deep state and its evil friends decided to do a regime change in Syria. The "moderate rebels" were neither moderate nor rebels. They are extremists & head-chopping terrorists aligned with Al Qaeda & ISIS. Al Qaeda = "Al Nusra" = "HTS" (Hayat Tahrir al-Sham) US actively planned regime change in Syria as early as 2004. In 2005, CNN's Christiane Amanpour interviewed President Assad, when she brazenly told him that the US is funding Syrian opposition & trying to oust him in a coup. 2011 saw the biggest regime-change operations ever conducted by the US. It was called the Arab Spring. In Egypt, Mubarak was ousted. In Libya, Gaddafi was murdered by NATO. And so on. But Syria was the exception, because Assad was very popular with people and the military. Thus, US deep state recruited Al Qaeda (AQ). Feb 12, 2012: AQ leader Zawahiri called jihadists all over the world to go to Syria & fight Assad ("cancerous regime"). Same day: Jake Sullivan - advisor of Hillary Clinton - sent an email: "Al Qaeda (AQ) is on our side in Syria" Al Qaeda and ISIS got weapons worth billions of dollars. The CIA named its project, "Operation Timber Sycamore." Some Green Beret (US Special Forces) talked about it. General Flynn also wrote the famous memo in 2012, where he told the Pentagon that the groups that opposed Assad consisted of "Al Qaeda, Salafists and Muslim Brotherhood." For that, Flynn was fired! He later joined Trump's campaign. In 2016 Trump said at a forum “Obama is the founder of ISIS. Crooked Hillary Clinton was the co-founder” Al Qaeda leader, Al Golani, is now the presumed leader of Syria. Shortly before the 2003 invasion of Iraq, he joined al-Qaeda in Iraq and fought for three years in the Iraqi insurgency. American forces captured and imprisoned him from 2006 to 2011. His release coincided with the Syrian revolution, and he created the al-Nusra Front in 2012 with the support of al-Qaeda to take part in the Syrian civil war. In an audio statement released on 28 September 2014, al-Julani stated that he would fight the "United States and its allies" In 2017, Trump put a $10 million bounty on Golani. But now that terrorist is whitewashed and glorified by Western propaganda. There were plenty of atrocity propaganda from the jihadists and the West regarding Assad. Like the fake and staged chemical attacks. When it comes to use of chemical weapons, the mainstream narrative has amnesia. The "rebels" - Al Qaeda, ISIS, HTS, Al Nusra, FSA - have produced and used sarin, chlorine and mustard gas in Iraq and Syria for a long time.” What’s tragic about Syria is that a once peaceful country was allowed to be destroyed by the deep state devils. The destruction of Syria has been occurring for over a decade yet the mockingbird media has never called out the involvement of the West. Albeit with much funding from Arab allies who also fund Hamas. Just to be clear I’m sure Assad was no saint, but the deaths being assigned to him last week in the mainstream media are just outright lies. Most of the deaths in Syria were the result of the invasion. Given the lies that were told in order to justify the destruction of Iraq a decade earlier you would think that the media would have been a bit more critical in regards to what was happening in Syria. Of course the mainstream media are nothing more than the propaganda arm of the governments today. Rather than critique the government, they just repeat the government lies feed to them. Of course Syria is just one of many countries that have been destroyed by the deep state. Ukraine and Iran both had their democratic governments overthrown by the CIA. As a matter of fact, Trump himself was probably rolled by the CIA and the FBI in 2020. More and more reveals not just corruption in the election but that January 6 had agent provocateurs planted to distract from Congress scrutinising the election results. We can only hope Trump can end the violence in the Middle East and Ukraine. You can be sure the deep state will do everything to stop him.

How did we get here? The moral decline, the politicians spouting more lies the ever before, the unprecedented sexual perversion, the promotion of abortion (re-productive rights?) etc I believe mostly because largely the church, who is called to be salt & light in this world is asleep. Busying themselves with building projects, church programs & feel good messages. Basically history repeating itself, like the church in Germany in the 1930's. To busy with programs, tradition & sticking their heads in the sand: "I don't want to know, I don't want to get involved". The rapture is imminent, but that does not exclude us from being watchman & do everything we can to stop the decay. See below a speech from Charlie Kirk, which could be applied to not only America but the church in the West in general. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ah6OoBf5Q8

As we know, the Devil, is the father of all lies. Besides lying his other speciality is imitating, with the false or pseudo, "lookalikes" When the nation of Israel in 1948 was resurrected, so to speak with their own flag, the Evil one, the accuser of the brethren, resurrected another group of people, also in 1948: The so-called "Palestinians" which are mostly of Arab descend, mixed in with other people groups, some even say from Eastern Europe. Regardless they have never been a nation before & still aren't. But they are living in the same geographical location, as the "Philistines", the arch enemies of Israel in the Old Testament. Biblical & other historical evidence is pointing to the fact that these people don't exist anymore as a nation or people group. Is this as coincidence, no I don't think so! Compare the colours of the "Palestinian" flag with the colours of the 4 Horseman in Revelation 6! And also look at the historical meaning of these colours. And then compare this with the beautiful Israeli flag & the meaning of the colours. Look at the images below and judge for your self.

What a violent culture we live in today. Violent crimes are sweeping the world. In many countries people are afraid to go out on the streets at night. Jesus said that things would be increasingly wicked in the last days, and the climate of the time prior to His return would be similar to the climate of the time during Noah’s life. So what was it like in Noah’s time? Are there any distinguishing characteristics that parallel our own? In Noah’s day two sins predominated: excessive violence and sexual perversion. Genesis 6:5 , speaking of Noah’s time, says, “And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” There were other characteristics of Noah’s day as well. Jesus said, “For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be” ( Matthew 24:38–39 ). We might paraphrase this statement by saying it was business as usual. Noah was building a massive ark without a body of water nearby. There hadn’t even been rain on earth at that point. But Noah faithfully followed the directions God had given him. And as the years went by, he kept on with the job God called him to. No doubt people thought of Noah as some sort of crackpot. Jesus was saying that in the last days, people also will ignore prophetic warnings. They’ll disregard the clear message of God to them. For the most part it will be business as usual. People will go on with their day-to-day activities. What It All Means However, the writing is on the wall for anyone who will pay attention. And just as Noah was mocked, followers of Jesus will be mocked as well, because that, too, is a sign of the last days. People today laugh at the concept of Bible prophecy and the return of Christ, but one day their mockery will cease and their laughter will stop when Jesus fulfils His words. He is coming back. According to Scripture, there is a generation that will not see death. Instead they will be removed from the face of the earth in what is known as the rapture of the church. This is what Jesus was referring to when He said: “Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left” ( Matthew 24:40–41 ). Instantaneously millions of believers from around the globe will be caught up into God’s presence. This is spoken of elsewhere in the Bible as well. Paul wrote: “Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” ( 1 Corinthians 15:51–52 ). And John wrote: “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is” ( 1 John 3:2 ). A Happy Anticipation Christ is coming for His church, and He said: “In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also” ( John 14:2–3 ). In the original language, the phrase “come and get you” implies seizing by force. That is exactly what Jesus will do. He will return and take His people into His presence. Are you ready ? Are you ready for His return? Are you looking for it? It means being ready to meet Him. It means living in anticipation of the return of Christ. To put it another way, it means that you shouldn’t be doing things that would hinder your spiritual life. The teaching of the return of Christ should serve as a motivator, as a comfort to you. As John said, “And every man that hath this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure” ( 1 John 3:3 ). There are two ways of looking at the Lord’s coming: a looking for it and looking at it. It is possible to look at it with keen intellect and a profound interest, and yet have it mean nothing to us personally. It is also possible to know but little of the theology of the subject, and yet have a deep and holy longing for the Lord to appear. May this theme be not only our study but also our personal hope. It isn’t just intellectually saying, “I know Christ will come again.” Rather, it’s looking for and welcoming His return. And if there’s anything in our lives that should be changed, anything that is not right with God, we should deal with it now.

As a young man in High School in the Netherlands I was also taught "Evolution Theory" & "Darwinism". But somehow this never stuck with me & didn't make sense even though I was certainly not a Christian at that time. I was amazed at the things I saw growing up on a farm. Seeing the geese flying over in V-formation, coming from Scandinavia flying south to the South of France or even as far as Spain in order to survive the winter. How did they know what to do? This is one of the many examples I saw & pondered on. Sadly many churches, Bible Schools & Seminaries have interpreted the Creation Narrative symbolically & no longer believe in a literal 6 day Creation & relatively young earth. If we move away from this foundational teaching, then we are on a slippery slope as it is key to understanding & believing God & the Scriptures as a whole ! https://www.facebook.com/reel/1192160488677784

The below 3 memes speak a thousand words. Are you also fed up with the hypocrisy from the political left?

The many distractions of modern life keep the majority of people oblivious to the dangers of our fallen world. However, a world of turmoil, violence, and lawlessness in this world sadly, is a view that most people choose to ignore or simply cannot see. The View The conflict in the Middle East is just one of many hotspots that could quickly easily explode into the next world war. I hear threats of impending nuclear warfare almost every day. The debt level in the U.S & many other countries, passed the dollar mark which we can not even pronounce, with almost all of the money collected from individual tax returns needed to cover just the interest for it. I cannot explain how we could reach such a mark without it completely obliterating our economies. As it is, we have an inflation rate that’s significantly higher than what the governments are willing to admit, one that’s severely hurting most families. The deception and gaslighting of our day are off the charts. The book of Revelation tells me that it will get worse once the antichrist arrives on the scene, but that’s more than I can comprehend at the moment. Lawlessness and violence have become commonplace across the globe. Protestors fill our streets in support of the most demonic, despicable, and horrendous terrorist group imaginable. Why the tolerance for demonstrators calling for the elimination of Israel as a nation and the death of all Jews? Smartphones are merely symptomatic of how easily we can become addicted to modern life with its pleasures, entertainment, sports, and travel. There’s nothing wrong with these things by themselves as long as they don’t keep our focus inside the train and anesthetized to the perils outside the window. The Comfort I couldn’t endure all that I see happening apart from the Bible which tells me about Jesus and my hope of His imminent appearing. He is the sum total of my security and hope for tomorrow. Sometimes, my morning quiet times end with my arms wrapped around my Bible. I hug the words of Scripture because they alone comfort and encourage me when I look beyond the peaceful scenes of my neighbourhood. I’m grieved by churches that tell us that matters of Bible prophecy are tertiary, or those of lesser importance than other matters of faith. This assertion defies a realistic view of our current world, which screams with the message that Bible prophecy is of the utmost importance for our time. Believers today desperately need to hear what the Bible says about the future. It’s not debatable, not even close. Bible prophecy is most certainly not a tertiary matter. The passion that keeps me writing is that of offering hope to the saints in these last days. I don’t know how much longer we have until we meet Jesus in the air, but all the signs tell us that the sudden destruction that will mark the start of the Day of the Lord will soon fall on an unsuspecting world, people too distracted to view the chaos of our world. Our hope does not rest in politics or in getting the right person elected. The church will fail us; we dare not place our hope in it or in the Lord somehow subduing the evil around us through it. That’s not the purpose of the church. We are the body of Christ; we are not a kingdom that will succeed in bringing peace to the world. God’s Word tells us that evil and violence will increase in the days before Jesus’ return, just as we now see happening. Believers who possess the discernment of a biblical worldview, one bathed in Bible prophecy, see the world for what it is. We know that the devil’s domination of the nations will continue until Jesus’ all-glorious and spectacular Second Coming. The distractions are many; I know all too well how easily they can take my eyes off the prize of the pre-Tribulation Rapture.
