JESUS DID TELL US TO PREPARE — FOR OURSELVES AND SO THAT WE CAN HELP OTHERS: NOW DO YOU SEE THE WORDS OF JESUS COMING TO PASS THAT IF HE DIDNT SHORTEN THE DAYS - SLEEPING PEOPLE STILL DONT SEE HUMAN EXTINCTION!

Luke, Chapter 21 is an interesting area of Scripture that deserves our study. More study than I will have time to go into in this message. It begins with the disciples admiring the beauty of the temple, and Jesus telling them that there will come a day when not one stone will be left upon another. The disciples ask Him when this will happen.

And then Jesus speaks of false christs and how many will follow after them. He speaks of wars and rumors of wars, but says that “these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately.”

And then, starting at verse 10, we read, “Then He said to them, ‘Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven. But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and rulers for My name’s sake. But it will turn out for you as an occasion for testimony. Therefore settle it in your hearts not to meditate beforehand on what you will answer; for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist. You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relatives and friends; and they will put some of you to death. And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake.’”

In verse 20, He says, “when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near.” Jesus goes on to describe the destruction of Jerusalem, which we know took place in the year 70 A.D.

This chapter of Luke describes not only the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D., but also the last days before Jesus’ second coming. I believe He often explained things that would be taking place soon right alongside things that would be taking place at His second coming.

In Luke 21, He goes on the describe His second coming starting in verse 25: “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

In verse 29, Jesus tells them the parable of the fig tree — how when we see the tree begin to start budding, we know that summer is near. And then He says, “So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away ‘til all things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.”

Then a warning for us to be prepared for His coming: “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch, therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

Obviously, He was speaking not only of the destruction of the city and the temple in 70 A.D., but also His second coming…because the generation that saw the temple destroyed did pass away, and like Christians in every generation, they did suffer great persecution first.

But Jesus spoke of a generation of people on the earth that would witness His second coming firsthand, and His coming would be preceeded by signs in the sun, moon and stars, distress of nations here on earth, with perplexity. The sea and waves roaring. Men’s hearts failing them because of fear. Famines, pestilences. The powers of the heavens are shaken. And THEN they see the Son of Man coming on a cloud with power and great glory. That didn’t happen in 70 A.D., but it WILL happen when Jesus returns.

We’re admonished to pay attention to the signs leading up to His coming, like the fig tree, and when we see all those things taking place, to be ready for that Great and Terrible Day of the Lord. We’re also told that this day will come as a snare on all who dwell on the face of the whole earth — most will be paying no attention to the most important things. Instead, they’ll be caught up with carousing, drunkenness, and hearts weighed down with the cares of this life. Most will be unprepared. Have you tried to explain the truth of what’s been happening to someone who knows nothing about the Globalist agenda? You’ll find they don’t care at all. In fact, they think you’re crazy. Just as the devil and his demons hope for. Distracted by the cares of this world, carousing, entertainment, luxury and ease… yet Jesus said His coming will be a “snare” on all who dwell on the face of the whole earth.

Yes, Jesus tells us to prepare and be ready, to understand the wiles of the devil and be prepared to do daily battle. I think we should always be prepared to meet our Lord, because none of us knows the number of our days. And persecution of Christ-followers is greater in America now than it’s ever been. There was a time when being a “good Christian” was a good thing, but now, according to our American government, there’s no greater threat to the nation than those who name the name of Christ. We are the new “terrorists” that must be done way with. Perhaps more precisely stated: no greater threat to their demonic regime, but I digress.

Yes, we’ll be seeing signs in the sky — in the sun, moon and stars. The sea will be roaring. Men’s hearts will be failing them for fear. Distress of nations with perplexity. This reads like every day’s headlines now. I’m sure many generations saw their own days in these words, but never before have we seen the “buds” on the “fig tree” so ready to burst forth with fruit as we see every day now.

I’m not one to just sit back and wait for the Lord’s return. I believe we’re to occupy until He returns.  I believe when He comes, we should be found doing our Father’s business. I believe we should be living each and every day circumspectly, following in our Savior’s footsteps the best we can, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. And I believe we should always be prepared.

One of our readers, from Maryland, recently suggested that I speak on the topic of being prepared and so I’ll share some thoughts with you here. We must all be prepared for the days ahead — whether we live to see our Savior’s coming on the clouds of heaven or whether we go to be with Him on our own first — because things are not getting any better in this world. On the contrary, the days are becoming darker all the time, as evil is celebrated and good is vilified. Justice no longer exists in our country, and we cannot expect justice for ourselves when our doors are broken down and we’re unjustly accused, tried and sentenced. This is happening on a daily basis now — yes, to Christians, and yes, here in America. Christ-followers are now “public enemy number one” in just about every area of society. I’m not just talking about “church-goers.” Simply going to church and calling oneself a “Christian” won’t get you into any hot water. But start actually living the Christian life — start actually following Jesus — and you’ll find it is THEN that you become a “terrorist.” That’s when you become the greatest threat to the regime.

So we must prepare spiritually and physically. Jesus told us what’s coming. He gave us the “weather forecast” and told us what to expect and that we should prepare. If we’re caught in a “snare” like the rest of the world when the storm hits, we’ll have no one to blame but ourselves. The time for preparation is now — before the storm. Here’s how we can prepare spiritually:

First, review your commitment to Jesus and draw closer to Him. 2 Corinthians 13:5 says, “Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves.” Also pray without ceasing. (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Be in constant communication with the Father, through the Son and the Holy Spirit. Be in such close contact that you need only utter a “thought” to the Lord and you KNOW that He not only hears you but is ready and willing to answer every prayer.

Many think they’re “good to go” with God’s Word… no need for a time of serious Bible study every day. But we need more Bible study, not less. There’s always more to learn, and the most devout of Bible students always finds new insights every time He opens the Scriptures.

And as you sanctify yourselves, redeeming the time, spending more time in communion with the Lord, seek out good and Godly teachers — perhaps men of old, heroes of the faith — or modern day saints who are teaching the whole counsel of God. Run from people pleasers. Also, your heart will rejoice at the great old hymns of the faith as you draw closer to Christ as well… in a way the “praise choruses” of modern so-called “worship music” can never do. Listen to, and sing, some of the old hymns each day, and be blessed.

As we pray without ceasing, we should also maintain a prayer journal and an intercessory prayer list, praying for family members, neighbors, friends, co-workers, and others. Pray for their physical needs, but more importantly, their spiritual needs, that they may come to know Christ as Savior and that you may have an opportunity to lead them to Him. This is the will of God.

Regarding physical preparation, take this time now to get any dental work, eye exams and medical issues taken care of. Improve your health naturally and keep your immune system strong. Pay attention to what you eat, and eat as close to naturally as you possibly can. Understand that today’s genetically-modified foods (which is just about all of them now) are not only unhealthy, they’re designed to keep you sick. Eat clean and be healthy. Let your food be your medicine. Don’t allow yourself to be weak and sickly when the storm comes, if you can build and strengthen your health naturally now. Then you’ll not only fare better yourself, but you’ll be prepared to help others as well.

Pay off debts as soon as possible and live within your means. Make sure you have a vehicle that’s reliable and one you can drive long distances in emergency situations if necessary. Get out of crime-ridden cities. Seek small towns, and even the countryside, if possible. The cities are only going to continue to decline and get worse. They’ll also be the first places to be locked down under government control and martial law. For the safety of yourself and your family, escape now, while you still can.

Begin storing pure water, and have a way to purify it again when you’re ready to use it. Understand that in the wild, the one place where most animals become easy prey is at the watering hole. Don’t get yourself in that position. Start a system of storing, maintaining and purifying water now. We cannot live without it. Along with water, begin storing food that will last until needed, and have multiple ways to cook and prepare it with no electricity or gas to cook with. Food and water will become necessities when we’re no longer allowed to buy or sell as Christians. They’ll also be valuable for bartering in an underground economy, which I believe will be needed soon. And have ways to heat your home off the grid, so you don’t freeze to death in winter.

Now, these are just a few ideas, but yes, Jesus did tell us to prepare — for ourselves and so that we can help others. I don’t believe we’ll escape the coming storm… why else would He tell us to prepare? Before He comes on the clouds of heaven, we’ll see great confusion, distress of nations, with perplexity; men’s hearts failing them for fear. Chaos. Anarchy. Sounds like to bad storm to me. And we know the wiles of the enemy, the Globalists, bent on our destruction. We’ve already been named as the most dangerous threat to America. A prudent Christ-follower would prepare for the storm before it hits and overtakes us. Jesus told us to be ready. Let us not be “ensnared” like the rest of the world.

This Is The Technology The Bible Warned Us About: The future government that Satan will control and use to deceive and manipulate the nations through the False Prophet and Antichrist

Imagine a world of the future. It is a desperate world where human beings are controlled by a single, tyrannical power. If we look behind the curtain to see what energizes this power, we find something much more sinister than a corrupt political agenda or master plan of greed. We find a plot hatched by the dark prince of the universe whose ambition it is to become God.

The book of Revelation prophesies a future government that Satan will control and use to deceive and manipulate the nations through the False Prophet and Antichrist:

And he [the False Prophet] deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast [the Antichrist] who was wounded by the sword and lived. He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666 (Rev. 13:14–18).

Verses 16–18 are undoubtedly the most familiar passages in Revelation, not only to believers, but also to millions of unchurched people who know nothing about future prophecy and may never have opened a Bible.

Those who receive the mark commit the ultimate, tragic, irrevocable choice to reject Christ and embrace the Antichrist as God, thus reaping everlasting judgment (14:9–11).

Revelation 13:14–15 describes the world stage that precedes the mark of the Beast. The False Prophet, the Antichrist’s coconspirator, will perform counterfeit miracles and exercise global power as a religious leader.1 The most spectacular of his feats will be the Antichrist’s faux resurrection after it appears he was assassinated (v. 14).

Although the False Prophet gives lifelike “breath to the image of the beast” (v. 15), it will be left to individuals around the world to build the image (v. 14). And those who refuse to worship the image will be killed.

This joint project for interactive imagery will be coordinated by a central command that connects everyone worldwide to a despotic system of control, raising the specter of innovation run amok.

How might technology play a part in these events? The manufacturing of this image is obviously significant since Revelation mentions the image six more times (14:9, 11; 15:2; 16:2; 19:20; 20:4).

As I worked with my coauthor, Tim LaHaye, on our recent novel, Mark of Evil—the last of our four-book, futuristic fiction series released earlier this year—we wrestled with the relationship between technology and future events. Though it is only fiction, the novel earnestly seeks to examine current innovations to see if and how they might fit into this prophetic landscape.

In the last decade and a half, technology has provided us with a glimpse of how this particular part of the most demonic scheme in human history might be accomplished.

Big-Data Revolution
Until the digital information explosion in the last half of the 20th century, the thought of a global system of imagery projection and instant, worldwide human control (let’s call it digital devilry, or DD) seemed like science fiction. But with the rise of personal computing, Internet communications, and the stunning increase in digital data transmission, such global control is indeed realistic.

The science of “big data”—the ability of computers to accumulate and then analyze titanic amounts of information extremely rapidly—has made DD possible.

The retrieval and analysis of huge amounts of voter data helped tip the U.S. presidential election in favor of incumbent Barack Obama in 2012, according to a Democratic insider:

Big data gave Obama 2012 the names of all 69 million people who voted for the candidate in 2008 and allowed the campaign to rebuild that winning coalition, vote by vote. Big data told the campaign which voters were undecided, and even which voters with otherwise Republican attitudes could be swayed to vote for the president.2

The author admitted big data can be used for good or evil: “Not all the consequences will be good. New technology can manipulate, empower, or do both.”3 Today we can instantly process and control all of the essential data concerning not just the American electorate, but the entire human race. Google advertises that its “cloud platform” for data storage and retrieval can handle some 4 trillion message transactions per month. The Knowledge Society has also tabulated some startling facts about the meteoric rise of big data. In 1986, the growth rate of data storage was 23 percent per year. By 1996, it had increased 800 percent; and by 2004, data storage was up by 4,100 percent.4 The report cites Google’s former Chief Executive Officer Eric Schmidt, who said in 2010 the total of all documented information between “the dawn of civilization” through 2003 equaled about 5 exabytes of data—roughly the amount of data being created and stored every two days today.

If DD is going to play a part in the fulfillment of Revelation 13:14–15, then it will require a massive information-retrieval-and-storage capacity to track and manipulate the billions of people on planet Earth. We are rapidly approaching that point. In fact, we may have arrived there without knowing it.

Connectivity Revolution
Simply having the ability to marshal and control big data, however, is not enough. DD would also require a heightened ability to connect people, collect data about them (such as their identities, locations, behavioral patterns, and movements) and then tie everything to a central portal. Enter the World Wide Web and the universe of digital connections.

This principle of connectivity is a mainstay of new-media Internet communications—notably Facebook, Twitter, and a variety of smartphones like the iPhone. Their developers pride themselves on having created the capability to digitally link people and groups instantaneously—transcending time zones, travel restrictions, and geographic distances. The result is a different way of viewing the world because of technology.

A string of events in 2011 helps shed light on the social and political force of these new-media connections. All these events were coordinated and fueled by cellphone or smartphone texting, emails, Twitter messaging, or Facebook postings:

• Anti-government protests in Tunisia and Tahrir Square in Cairo, Egypt
• Protests in Yemen, Bahrain, Libya, Morocco, and Syria
• The cessation of the “jasmine revolution” in China after cell service was shut down
• Protests in Athens, Greece, over pay and pension cuts
• Hundreds of teens swarming to a beach party in Boston, Massachusetts, after instantly responding to a Facebook invitation, thus warranting the response of a SWAT team
• A similar incident in Shaker Heights, Ohio
• Organized riots due to digital messaging in the United Kingdom cities of Tottenham, Enfield, and Liverpool
• Hundreds of thousands of people marching or protesting in Israel, as well as in U.S. cities like New York City; Portland, Oregon; Boston; Chicago; and San Francisco5

But social protest is not the only evidence of the power of connectivity. Technology companies are making a concerted effort to link the world’s people together through a wide variety of gadgets, activities, and places, using an increasingly smaller number of wireless networks. One commentator described the phenomenon (now dubbed “Internet of things”) this way, regarding only one area—the automobile:

Consider this: The American Automobile Association [AAA] said in its letter to the FTC [Federal Trade Commission] that vehicles are rapidly becoming two-ton smart phones. The number of cars connected to the Internet will grow from less than 1 million in 2009 to an estimated 42 million by 2017, the letter said. And that’s just vehicles. Millions of people connect through security cameras, home appliances, medical devices, and other products. AAA wants to know who controls all that data.6

Meanwhile, tech giants like Qualcomm and Cisco are trying to create a universal global standard (a “language”) to enable all digital devices to “talk” to each other. Such a project has the potential to link together an ocean of digital objects across the globe, such as automatic garage doors in homes, heating and air conditioning thermostats, lawn sprinklers, baby monitors, video games, personal vehicles and taxicabs, central offices’ building controls, restaurants and retail stores, as well as televisions, radios, cellphones, computers, and—of course—millions of security cameras around the world.7

Facial- and Voice-Recognition Revolution
In the world of the future, Earth’s inhabitants likely will be connected through digital communications and Internet tracking, with the information stored through the big data capacity of ultrafast computer systems.

If that data is ultimately used to manipulate and control them, what about the dissenters? What about those who refuse to engage in technology?

Today in America, by virtue of the human-recognition innovation, technology can come to people whether they like it or not. Federal agencies like Homeland Security, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Central Intelligence Agency, and now local police departments, can use biometric technology to match people on the street with a catalog of photographs and identify them in seconds.8

The U.S. government has even granted Apple Corporation a patent for facial recognition features on  its iPhone. Presumably, iPhones will eventually recognize callers through photo ID images and instantly identify them based merely on their facial characteristics.9

Facebook has already been using facial recognition technology to mine facial imagery data posted on Facebook, although its current uses are still sketchy.10

But facial recognition is not the only way technology can trace you. Voice recognition systems can identify you through your speech patterns.11 In Mark of Evil, Tim LaHaye and I wrote a fairly disturbing scenario of the possible sinister uses of these types of technology.

Kingdom Renewal
However, we need not view technology exclusively as the Devil’s tool. Though Satan’s plan will be impressive, it will not be flawless. Where Satan rules, God can overrule. And we have reason to believe God will provide for the needs of His people who refuse the mark of the Beast, just as He provided for the Israelites during their Exodus from Egypt and their wanderings in the wilderness.

In fact, technology may well play a powerful part in God’s redemptive plan for the human race and in accomplishing His great commission of carrying the gospel of salvation to the ends of the earth.

Christian apologist Ravi Zacharias has called the new-media world of Facebook, Twitter, Apple, and Google “the new tower of Babel.” But he also sees their positive potential and said they are “not intrinsically evil.” His advice: “Be wise, be careful, but harness it for good. It is here to stay and will only multiply in its capacity.”12

Almost daily in my work with the National Religious Broadcasters, I see ways in which gospel communicators are using the tools of new-media technology to penetrate the globe with the Good News of Jesus Christ. When the inventions of radio and television became available to the masses in the 20th century, preachers rushed to the forefront, seeking ways to use them to communicate truth to the world. This trend is continuing today by followers of Jesus who use Internet-based communications and wireless devices for the glory of God.

Whatever the means of fulfillment of the prophecies in Revelation 13, one thing is certain: God will wrap up human history and establish His Kingdom exactly as He has promised. Unlike the short-lived kingdom of the Evil One, God’s Kingdom will be everlasting and the grand setting for our eternal reunion with Him.

Just imagine for a moment what a world like that will look like. The Bible gives us an electrifying glimpse:

And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away” (21: 3–4).

All that God has planned and all that He has accomplished through His intervention in the affairs of the human race have been for one purpose: to bring us to Himself. That is the single most important example of “connectivity” in the history of the universe. And that divine and eternal connection is the one that counts.

WORLD WAR III IS ON THE HORIZON: Most Americans Are Sleep Walking and Clueless About All of This. For Those Who Are Awake, I Suggest That You Do Something, Anything, for Your Own Preparedness Sake. And Do It Soon

We are quite likely on the cusp of WW3. I suggest that you urgently, yet calmly, shore up your practical preparedness. I do believe that most people have absolutely no idea of what may be about to happen.

UPDATE (6-NOV)
Originally posted 20-OCT, here we are ~3 weeks later as the situation in the Middle East is spiraling out of control. Many nations are fortifying and have unified their alliances as assets are being positioned for the theaters of existing and planned conflict.

The War Drums are pounding while the bombs are blasting. And it has only just begun.. Of the many, many detailed developments during these several weeks, I am updating this post with 3 particular striking pieces of information that are ‘time sensitive’.

Imminent Escalation

Iran’s Defense Minister just said, “…the destruction of the Zionist regime is imminent.” “If this war and the crimes of the Zionists against humanity do not stop, they will soon receive a heavy blow in the region and beyond.”

Which leads to the next point..

Apparently both Hezbollah and Iran have notified the US and Israel that if the [atrocities] do not stop by Friday, all out War will be declared.

Evidently Hezbollah will broadcast a message Friday, 3PM Lebanon time (9AM Eastern time). A presumed outcome? Perhaps all out War sometime Friday, and the days (weeks and months?) beyond.

And now there’s this:

During 1-NOV, the 118th Congress voted and passed (354/53) H.Res. 559 “Declaring it is the policy of the United States that a nuclear Islamic Republic of Iran is not acceptable.”

This resolution declares that it is the policy of the United States
(1) to use all means necessary to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, and
(2) to support the freedom of action of partners and allies to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

This has quite obviously (in my opinion) set the stage for (possibly imminent) strikes upon Iran, In other words, War with Iran. As a result, this (in my opinion) will likely unleash terror cells here in the US, among other actions. Other nations will get pulled in upon further escalation.

The number of warships in the region is astounding. The buildup of assets has been in High Gear. I presently Do Not see a likelihood of de-escalation. Rather, all I hear and see is War, War, War! WW3.

Most Americans are Sleep Walking and Clueless about all of this. For those who are awake, I suggest that you do something, anything, for your own preparedness sake. And do it soon.

Now back to the original post:

World War 3 Is Likely Upon Us

For those who have not been following world events, go back to sleep. But for those of you who have been paying attention, digging deeper, and seeking detail about the unfolding events, it’s time to presume that it’s about to hit the fan.

I do believe that any one of many existing ‘triggers’ could get pulled at any moment. Engrained normalcy bias makes it difficult to consider. Especially the bias of “It will never happen here, or affect me here”. But you may be very wrong about that..

This post is not purposed towards rehashing all of the “why’s”, or the many details of what is unfolding in the Middle East, and the world right now. There are many sources out there for discovery (tip: seek out all sides).

I believe that we are living through a ‘fourth turning’ empire struggle for world domination. East vs. West. United States / NATO (coupled with dollar hegemony) versus an ‘East’ alliance of nations influenced most by Russia/China (and all of their proxy states/nations).

In my view, it is about to explode in the Middle East region. Soon.

The United States

Look around you. The division(s) is astronomical. Societal decay has reached previously unimaginable depths. Civility is all but gone. Seething anger. In other words, it’s a tinder box out there, even here in the ‘United’ States.

Sleeper cells will be activated. There is zero doubt in my mind. They are here. How did they get here? Well, they simply walk right in. Blame your congressperson.

There are so many ways to disrupt here in the United States. Cyber. Grid. Infrastructure. Civil War. I’m telling you, when one of these WW3 triggers are pulled, there’s going to be $hit happening here in the USA. I’ll leave it at that..

And I haven’t even begun to mention what may happen when the first U.S. Aircraft carrier (several currently in theater) is sunk by a hypersonic missile. Or when the first nuclear tipped weapon is used (of which there are an overabundance thereof – by many nations/states).

Prepare Now – The Clock Is Ticking..

Security. Food. Water. Only ‘you’ know where you might be lacking. Just get it done. Now.

Are you able to defend yourself and your household? Do you have the tools necessary?

Remember that most grocery stores basically resupply on a 72 hour rolling basis. In other words, upon ensuing panic, grocery store shelves could run empty much sooner than you may realize. After that, you will be $hit out of luck. You will go hungry. Desperate. Worse..

Though I feel that I am quite well prepared in general, this week I’ve acquired even more foods of a fairly substantial amount. That’s how much my gut is telling me that it’s about to hit the fan.

I do not know to what extent WW3 may affect me where I live. However it is easy for me to hypothesize how bad that it could get. So given that I have the present resources to prepare more, that’s what I’ve been doing in a variety of ways.

If WW3 never happens, or if we here in the United States skate through it unscathed, well, the acquired supplies will remain to be an insurance policy to keep my household alive, should it become necessary..

WITH WAR, FAMINE, DISEASES AND MASS CHAOS BEING UNLEASHED AGAINST US, THE COMMUNIST GOALS FOR AMERICA ARE BEING SLOWLY BUT SURELY IMPLEMENTED: 45 GOALS TO DESTROY THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Communism, Liberalism, Socialism, Progressivism, National Socialism, New World Order Globalist, the United Nations and the American 'Democratic' Party's ...... 45 goals to destroy the United States.

“The Naked Communist” 45 goals, by Cleon Skousen, 1958.

On Jan. 10, 1963, Congressman Albert S. Herlong Jr. of Florida read a list of 45 Communist goals into the Congressional Record. The list was derived from researcher, and former FBI Agent, Cleon Skousen’s book “The Naked Communist.” These principles are well worth revisiting today in order to gain insights into the thinking and strategies of much of our so-called liberal elite:

CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.“
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

"My child, you must not have fear at speaking the truth. It is for the salvation of souls and the recovery of your country. America the beautiful must not fall to communism, My child. America the beautiful shall not be sold into slavery. Cast out the money changers in your government! What manner of government is there that condones sin? Abomination upon abomination--giving monies for the murder of children, giving monies for the murder of the elderly! Your government, My child, has been infiltrated by men of sin." - Our Lady of the Roses, September 13, 1975

End of the World Prophecy and the War in Israel - ARE WE GOING TO WITTNESS A PALESTINIANS HOLOCAUST?

For decades, war hawks who hold “End Times Christian” views have been claiming the decisive chapter of planet Earth is coming soon.

They see ultimate rescue from Above, for true believers, but a vast decimating War MUST come first.

However, some of these men have also been trying to encourage and promote and push opposing forces INTO that War.

I’ll describe their basic specific strategy.

It involves so-called holy sites, holy objects, and shrines. Including the fabled Ark of the Covenant, and “the room where God once lived.”

Back in the mid-1980s, I wrote an article about much of this for the LA Weekly. As the current War in Israel broke out, what I detailed in that piece suddenly came back and hit me between the eyes.

It’s very applicable to today.

I just completed further research and found more connected “prophecy” factors that loom over the current War in Israel and Gaza.

This is vital material.

The whole story is quite bizarre and dangerous.

It reinforces my view that organized religion is organized deception which attempts to rob people of their own spiritual decisions.

What happens if prophecy turns into military planning?

Jewish people call the Holocaust the ‘Shoah’, which means ‘destruction’ or ‘catastrophe’ in which it’s estimated that 6 million Jewish people died.

Jews believe a man called Abraham was the the first person to make a covenant with God. Abraham was a Hebrew. Jews believe God named Abraham’s grandson Israel. After this, the Hebrews became known as the Israelites. Abraham is considered the father of the Jewish people and the Israelites are his descendants.

Jews’ social segregation and their refusal to acknowledge the gods worshipped by other peoples aroused resentment. Unlike polytheistic religions, which acknowledge multiple gods, Judaism is monotheistic—it recognizes only one God.

The founders of Zionism and the leaders of the State of Israel had presumed that the normalization of the Jewish condition—that is, the achievement of statehood and with it a flag and an army—would seriously diminish anti-Semitism. However, from the Yom Kippur War of 1973 onward, the existence of the Israeli state seemed to have the opposite effect, fuelling rather than quenching the long-standing fires of anti-Semitic hatred.

It now appears that we are on the threshold of another Holocaust not a Jewish one but the annihilation of of Palestinians. It is universally believed that such a genocide as the Holocaust must never be allowed to happen again. We can no longer say we do not know that hatred and intolerance lead to war and genocide. We cannot afford to stand still for one moment.

With the out brake of hostility this line has not yet been crossed but current events must serve as a wakeup call.

Today we cannot say that we do not know what happens when hatred in all its forms rears its head.

Even though the vehemence of the anger and attacks against Israel appeared not to differentiate between Israelis and Jews, the United Nations and International Community musts issue a warning that there will be no acceptance of such a course of action by Israel. 

The persistence of anti-Semitism into the 21st century and the marked rise in anti-Semitic incidents in the early decades of the century have prompted new consideration of how to define and combat the phenomenon, which has both incorporated old tropes and taken on new forms.

Double standards (judging Israel by one standard and all other countries by another), delegitimization (the conclusion that Israel had no right to exist), or demonization (regarding the Israeli state not merely as wrongheaded or mistaken but as a demonic force in the contemporary world).

Antisemitism is not a Jewish illness.

ARE YOU PREPARED FOR THE COMMUNIST TAKEOVER? TOO MANY IN THE U.S. ARE LOSING TOUCH WITH THE IDEALISM, AND THE SPIRIT OF FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY, AND THEY WILL PAY DEARLY FOR THAT IGNORANCE IN THE COMING DAYS

In the chaotic world we live in, a catastrophic event could come from just about anywhere, but the one that I want to focus on in this article is a Communist takeover of America.

No one who has been paying attention could doubt the reality of this threat to our country. The communists have been slowly taking over the institutions of this nation for the last hundred years. Now, they appear ready to make a push for complete control of the country. They do not always call themselves Marxists, or Communists, or Socialists, but their goal is the same—to create a Soviet America.  

In The Communist Manifesto, Karl Marx spoke of the ten steps by which the communists intended to accomplish their goal of “revolutionizing the mode of production,” which in the end would destroy Christianity and eventually the family structure:

1. Abolition of property and land, and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all right of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralization of the means of communication and the means of transport in the hands of the state.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state; bringing into cultivation of wastelands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of the population over the country.
10. Free education for all children in public schools

Karl Marx’s communist vision was displacing or dethroning God as the creative intelligence of the world and destroying free enterprise. Under the philosophy of Karl Marx, the communists announced that they were on their way to turning the world into a paradise.  But they failed to fulfill their promises of a better life for the masses.

Instead, millions were slaughtered while others were kept in slave labor camps that Solzhenitsyn described as the gulag archipelago. These concentration camps worked millions of people to the point of disease, starvation, and even death. We have FEMA camps for that now that are prepared and waiting to do just that.

They conquered Eastern Europe, China, North Vietnam, North Korea, Cuba, Uganda, Ethiopia, as well as other nations. They promised a prosperous society. All who resisted and disagreed with this utopia were murdered. Before the world woke up, one-third of the earth’s population was captured and fell under the control of the communist world dictatorship.

In 1956, the Communist leader of the Soviet Union Nikita Khrushchev delivered this quote at a press conference: “We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S.; we will destroy you from within.” And in 1959, he said: “We can’t expect American people to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders by feeding them small doses of socialism until they awaken one day to find they already have communism.”

In 1966, Cloward and Piven, two Sociology professors at Columbia University introduced a strategy to eliminate poverty by redistribution of wealth and create a political crisis that takes complete control of citizens through gradual implementation of Socialism/Communism. Here is their recipe:

Control a nation’s healthcare and you control the people. (Obamacare, Universal healthcare, Single-payer healthcare)

Increase the level of poverty since people with no means are easier to control. 

Increase the debt to unsustainable levels, then increase taxes and create more poverty.

Confiscate guns so the people cannot revolt. (Repeal 2nd Amendment…in progress)

Use government welfare to take control of every aspect of people’s lives: food, housing, and income.

Take control of what children are taught in school, and what people read, see and hear through media. 

Separate people from their religion and ridicule it. (Remove God from government and schools and even the pledge of allegiance to the flag.)

Divide the people with class warfare. (Fair Share, Free College, War on Women.)

Divide the people with race warfare. (Black Lives Matter)

Overload entitlement programs like welfare, food stamps, housing, and the VA until they collapse, and the chaos will allow socialist programs to be implemented.

This agenda matches the Democrat platform and has been insidiously taking over our Republic. Most of our Democrat self-elected official champions, these Socialist/Communist principals including Joe Biden/Kamala Harris. Socialism sounds good to those who want free healthcare, free college, and debt forgiveness.

But the funds ultimately come from taxpayers’ pockets, significantly increasing taxes and reducing the number of jobs businesses can afford. It also creates big government bureaucracies without oversight that greatly reduce the efficiency and effectiveness of services overall. It has always failed the population whenever tried in any country.

Socialism is an economic theory that advocates that all property and means of production, distribution, and exchange should be regulated by the community. This is the opposite of the free-enterprise system of Capitalism, where anyone can own property, run a business, and trade freely.

Communism is when property, production, distribution, and exchange are not only regulated but owned by a ruling class or government. Socialism leads to communism when elected officials and government agencies take control of the people. Communist societies ultimately control and oppress their people and limit access to essential commodities, like food and medical care.

I have not resigned myself to a Communist victory just yet, and I pray their revolution fails. However, as preppers, we should prepare for the worst. In this article, I suggest ways we can spiritually prepare for a Communist takeover.  

First, we need to understand what it is like for Christians living under a Communist regime. Mr. Kengor explains that “religion was viewed [by Marxists] as a dangerous and ubiquitous rival belief system. It was Marxism’s chief competitor for the mind of the working class.” Therefore, Christians in Communist countries are persecuted, subjugated, imprisoned, tortured, and often executed.

Lutheran pastor Richard Wurmbrand and his wife Sabina present an illuminating, albeit terrifying, case study as Christians surviving Communism. Their combined story can be found in the book Wurmbrand: Tortured for Christ: The Complete Story. 

In the book, Rev. Wurmbrand explains: “The Communists rigged elections with fraud and violence, taking total control of [Romania]. Opposition leaders, police officers, and civil servants were liquidated in a swift wave of terror. Then the Communists focused their sights on the church. Catholic bishops and countless clergy, monks, and nuns were targeted next. Tens of thousands of ordinary people disappeared, sent to jails and labor camps…No one’s life remained the same.” 

Are you prepared for that kind of terror? Are you prepared to have your loved ones taken by sadistic thugs working for a tyrannical government? Are you prepared to suffer daily through physical and mental anguish? Are you prepared to stand strong in the faith through it all?

I pray that I am. I pray that my family is. But truthfully, I will not know if I am ready until it happens. And none of us will have the strength to persevere without the power of the Holy Spirit. Just as God sent an angel to strengthen Jesus on the eve of His crucifixion, so will we need to be strengthened to endure such horror. But there are things we can do in the meantime to prepare.

Take full advantage of all the Church has to offer while you still can and most importantly, pray. Pray as often as you can. Pray that you and your family will have the strength to persevere to the end.  

For the survival of the great Constitutional Republic of America, we must be willing to fight for our God-given rights and make others aware of this insidious plan. This is not about right or left, Democrat or Republican, it’s a choice between tyrannical, authoritarian Socialist/Communist government, or freedom to make our own choices, own property, and be able to speak out, run a business, gather together, celebrate our faith and pursue our happiness.
