PREPARING FOR THE SABOTAGE OF THE INTERNET AND SURVIVAL IN A POST-CHRISTIAN WORLD: FROM CLUELESS TO EXTRA HAM IN SEVEN MONTHS: A Scribe’s Take on Politics and Biblical Prophecy

 

My Ham Radio Call Sign is KO4LBS
 


What would happen if the Internet was to be taken down by enemy combatants? Or our trusty iPhones were rendered inoperable by malware? Maybe China pulls a fast one. Or what about Russia? It seems like everyone wants to blame Russia for everything. Did you notice Putin’s face when he conversed with Biden at their most recent meeting? What did his eyes tell you? Putin is not a dummy. Did you hear the audio recording of someone feeding Biden the answers to questions at the press conference before being removed from YouTube?

Or maybe it’s not China or Russia that wants to take us out. Maybe it’s Iran. I’d say several colorful countries around the world would love to see America brought to its knees.

When I was in Washington, D.C. on January 6—along with a million Trump supporters who protected our U.S. Capitol from an attack by Antifa and Black Lives Matter—it was impossible to access the Internet. That got me thinking, what if...and you can fill in the blank.

A conductor orchestrated the January 6 insurrection, and it wasn’t Trump or Trump supporters.

The Capitol was broken into before Trump finished his speech, and it was a 30-minute walk from the Whitehouse to Capitol Hill. Nobody knew anything had happened because there was no Internet. I also wondered where the police were. I guess they had better things to do than worry about an insurrection by people dressed in black banging on Capitol windows. I’m glad we had some heroes in the Trump crowd to take down those thugs. We sure didn’t have police.

I don’t know what’s going to happen in the future. I thought Trump would be our next president. I’m glad I’m not a prophet. I guess I’d be out of a job. No, I’m just a daughter of the American Revolution witnessing our country go to hell in a handbasket. The reality is, we are just like all the other nations. The great ones throughout history have had a limited lifespan of around 200 years. Invading armies either destroyed them or those countries succumbed to internal collapse because of moral decay and depravity.

Will we survive as a nation? I have hope, and it’s rooted in my belief in a gracious, merciful God who is also a Righteous King. God has not destined His Church (Bride) to wrath. Therefore, I believe Scripture points to a pre-tribulation rapture. However, Jesus talked a lot about the “beginning of sorrows” before the Day of the Lord. The only way America will survive as a nation is if we ask God for forgiveness, repent of our sins nationally, and forge a new path based on Biblical principles.

Unless we do that, our days are numbered. They must be. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out the United States is in trouble, and we don’t have a national leader right now who has the fortitude to stand up to the far left. We had that person in Trump. But anyone who tries to turn our nation back to what our Founding Fathers envisioned, based on the Bible, knows they will be canceled. There is only one thing left to do—destroy our Constitution. 

We no longer have election integrity. We have a government that is systematically taking away our freedoms, and Big Brother is increasingly watching every move we make with the help of artificial intelligence. Scientists frame it in the context of convenience and innovation. Have you noticed how Siri and Alexa help you to be lazy? These robotic voices listen to what you say. They make you dependent on them once you start using them, and they give you the information they want you to trust. It may or may not be accurate. It’s censored data.

So, without a repentant spirit, our nation goes caput. Do you have food stored up? Do you have a water source you can tap into? Do you have alternative energy available? Could you live for a while without going to the store for supplies, like toilet paper and dishwashing soap? 

I think everyone should own a gun and know how to use it. That was my gift for my birthday last year. I never thought I would need one. I figured I’d call 911, and the police would come to my house immediately. That’s what I used to think until I captioned a news broadcast last year in Orange County, California. Rioters were breaking into stores, stealing commerce, and in the process destroying buildings. The police looked on and did nothing.


We are entering the days of trials and tribulations spoken of in the Bible. War is coming to the Middle East, and I believe our freedoms will become more restricted. Christians are being canceled, and division in families seems the norm now rather than the exception. 

I decided that I needed another way to stay in touch if the Internet went down or my phone was useless. Don’t think that can happen? I used to have landlines until they quit working. AT&T wouldn’t service them. Things you never thought imaginable are happening. I keep telling myself I can’t be surprised anymore by anything, but then I am when something happens that seemed unimaginable only a couple of years ago. 

Don’t believe for an instant that Covid is going away. It’s not. In fact, I believe the Covid-19 pandemic is a manufactured event by the pharmaceutical companies and specifically Fauci at the CDC.




Pastor Steve Cioccolanti has made the statement he believes the rider on the white horse mentioned in the Book of Revelation is Fauci. He said this a year ago. Could he be right? Time will tell, but I’m not dismissing it. 

Doctors and pharma reps wear white. The Latin word “corona” means crown. This “plandemic” has affected the entire world, and it’s subjugating people. If you don’t wear a mask, you can’t travel. The Book of Revelation talks about a mark. Is there any correlation? Again, only time will tell. But it seems to me like limiting our freedom of movement if we don’t wear a mask could be a prelude to upcoming events.

There is only a one-letter difference in the words “mark” and mask.” The distinguishing “mark” of the future world leader will be his demand for the worship of his image. To separate those who will worship him from those who won’t, that identifying mark on the head or hand will be the symbol to show compliance or martyrdom. 

In the Bible, pharmakeia carried with it the idea of sorcery, occultism, and black magic. It is in this sense that Paul used the term in Galatians 5.20 as the word “witchcraft.” In Rev. 9:21 & 18:23 it is translated “sorceries.”[i]

I want one thing: I want freedom. I don’t want someone telling me I have to take a jab that I don’t want. I don’t want someone listening to my phone conversations or prying into my personal life through A.I. I don’t want my tweets censored or my Facebook posts removed by twits who think they know more than I do. Don’t silence me because you think I’m writing something offensive. Someone died to give me that right. In fact, thousands of Americans have been killed over the last 200 years, so that we have the freedom to point out the elephant in the room or to say the emperor has no clothes. If it weren’t so serious, it would be humorous. But no one is laughing because it’s not funny. It’s scary.

It begs the question, what can we do? While it might seem insignificant, the most important thing Christians can do is pray. And pray some more. God never tires of us communing with Him. And keep looking up, knowing that the devil is working overtime because he knows his time is short. Satan will attack anyone who is vulnerable. We must protect ourselves spiritually. We must claim the name of Jesus to put a wedge between ourselves and the world. Only then can we be wise. Wisdom comes from God and God alone. 

Jesus said, “Behold, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; so be wise as serpents, and innocent as doves [have no self-serving agenda]” Matthew 10:15 (AMP).


So, what does all of this have to do with my becoming a ham radio operator? There is a connection. The simple fact is, I don’t trust our government. I don’t trust any government. I can now communicate with anyone around the world. There is no way any government in any country can control all the airwaves because virtually every country uses them on the planet.

It’s one tool in my arsenal. On a broader scale, we need to think about what we need to survive. Suppose China took over? Say goodbye to those checks Washington has doled out over the last eighteen months. Get over it. Our government wants to make us dependent on them. Be dependent on yourself and not on the government. Almost always, unless it’s in the context of Biblical grace, whenever someone gives you something for free, there is a catch.

The folks in Washington have one agenda: Total control. Why? Because they have sold their souls for greed, power, perversion—you name it. Dare I say it? Ninety-nine percent of political pundits care nothing about you or me. They care about their egos. They have enriched themselves at the expense of the people who pay their exorbitant salaries through taxes.

Why do you think the political leaders and the world’s elitists hate Trump so much? Why do you think 90 percent of the media speaks the same narrative? Whatever happened to divergent opinions that aren’t driven by political insiders? All the major news outlets in the United States are owned by a handful of companies pushing a globalist agenda, and globalists want power. They want a one-world government. It seems like I’ve read that prophetic statement in the most popular book ever written: The Bible.

If you don’t believe the media is lying about Covid-19, about curative treatments, about what happened in Washington D.C. on “Insurrection Day,” wise up. Ask God to open your eyes. Pray for yourself, your family, your neighborhood, your city, and your country. God is on the side of truth. Whose side are you on?

Forgive my ranting, but somebody needs to rant. If it’s not me, God will call on somebody else to do it. We need a few people to get voicy about the things that matter to God. Gone is the time to be agreeable. There is nothing agreeable about socialism or communism. Big Brother wants to own you.

Make sure you have several months’ food supply on hand. Have a resource for bartering, like silver. Purchase the silver that’s referred to as “legal tender.” Don’t rely on the greenback. Its days are numbered. You can’t continue to print money and dole it out and expect it to retain any value. 

Get your radio technician’s license and preferably your general radio license so you aren’t dependent on the Internet for all your information. Whatever information you get on the web will continue to be censored.

And those 5-G towers, the phone company will tell you to upgrade your phone to use them. They will tell you how awesome 5-G is, like you can use it to control your lights, feed the dog, wash your dishes, start your coffee—yes, what an amazing world we live in when we need those props to exist. I watched a ten-minute video on the virtues of 5-G. If you want to be a lazy person, then go for it. Let those A.I.s invade your home and take control of your life. Become a puppet of the strings of convenience. Know that comfort comes with a price. Big Brother is watching you.

I heard Pastor Billy Crone make an interesting reference to something Jesus said in the Olivet Discourse.

Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house (Matthew 24:17 NIV).



What a strange thing for Jesus to say. Why not go back to your house? Is there a backdoor to that T.V. set in your living room, your iPhone, and all those 5-G devices? Could drones be swirling overhead to take you out? Why would someone be standing on their housetop anyway? Could it be to scan the sky to see if the government’s drones are spying on you? That’s what they do in China.

The fact is, you and I are being watched. Big Brother knows what you are doing all the time. To take it one step further, with 5-G, there will be no limit to the government’s control. Medical passports are coming. The government will require you to have a Covid vaccine to travel. Probably it will be indirect control.

The folks at the top of the food chain will pass the directive on to companies to implement, like the airline industry, the cruise lines, and maybe to conduct transactions like buying a car. Imagine a car that can smell your breath to determine if you’ve taken the vaccine. No vaccine, your car won’t start. The government needs companies and A.I to implement their nefarious agenda. None of this is by coincidence. 

I’m only scratching the surface. I could say more. Don’t dither around wondering where to start. Just get started. You must enter the mindset that you need to prepare yourself for war. It’s that simple. And remember, China wants our resources. They want Silicon Valley, our entertainment industry, agricultural lands, and infrastructure. They don’t want to blow us to bits. They will take us over through stealth and not with nuclear missiles. Those missiles will land in the Middle East. The Ezekiel War could happen at any time. Read Ezekiel 38 and 39. God wrote it three thousand years ago.

Ham radio is a healthy and simple way to make sure you stay in contact with those you love and with folks around the world. It’s not hard to learn, and it’s been around a long time. There are thousands of hams in the United States. And I’m sure other countries have many as well. Take a class online; I took all three tests for the three radio licenses online and passed them on the first try. When I began the journey in January 2021, I didn’t know the first thing about ham radio. 

My advice: Avail yourself of every opportunity to be self-sufficient. You don’t need to be paranoid. You need to be, as Jesus said, as harmless as doves and as wise as serpents. Be prepared for the unexpected, and don’t believe everything you hear. Avail yourself of independent sources for information. Most importantly, keep looking up. Trust God. He’s got this!



“So when all these things begin to happen, stand and look up, for your salvation is near”(Luke 21:28 NLT).

If you don’t remember anything else I’ve written here, remember this: Jesus is coming soon. Don’t leave earth without Him.

After a series of devastating events, Daniel Sperling, a gifted seventeen-year-old Israeli boy, becomes the focus of a wager between good and evil. Marked by one, he travels to first-century Israel and meets a doctor who becomes his mentor.

When he unwittingly makes a pact with the devil and the girl he loves is betrothed to another, his life takes a different course, until his eyes are opened. 

Trapped in the seventh dimension, how far will God go to save him?





EXCERPT FROM 

CHAPTER ONE 

DEATH

 

“Please, God, don’t let him die!” I cried.

General Goren’s face turned blue as the medic and nurse rushed into the room.

The nurse barked orders. “Start chest compressions. One, two, three, four—” seconds passed.

“No pulse,” the medic said.

After applying gel, the nurse placed the defibrillator pads on his bare chest.

“All clear,” she yelled.

We stepped back and waited.

The heart monitor remained flat.

“Again,” the medic said.

On the second attempt, General Goren’s eyes fluttered open.

A faint hope stirred in the room.

The death cat stood in the doorway. The nursing home mascot had never been wrong—maybe just this once. I wanted to yell at the cat to go away.

“Daniel,” a voice said faintly.

I leaned over and squeezed the General’s hand. “Yes, I am here.”

His eyes met mine. I drew nearer, avoiding the wires leading to the equipment. His breathing was labored. I was thankful the nurse and medic didn’t insist I leave.

“There is something I need to tell you,” he said faintly.

I shook my head. “No, save your energy. You don’t need to tell me now.”

“I must,” he pleaded. “You must know.”

I glanced at the medic and nurse. He was in no condition to talk. “Know—what?”

He squeezed my hand reassuringly. “You saved my life at Synagogue Hall.”

“What?” The man must be hallucinating.

The General continued. “May 1948—hospital in Jewish Quarter.”

“No. It was someone else. I’m Daniel Sperling, son of Aviv, a volunteer at the Beth Hillel Nursing Home. I’m seventeen years old.” 

“Let him talk,” said the medic. He lowered his voice, “In case he dies.”

“Don’t say that,” I whispered.

The cat stood in the doorway—watching.

General Goren pulled me closer. “No, Son. It was you. They carried me in on a stretcher. I had a collapsed lung. The Arabs had burned everything but the hospital. The flames—cries of children—horrible. Mothers and fathers—all gone. The children—” he stopped, unable to continue.

I reassured him. “You did the best you could. Everyone did.”

General Goren flinched. “Dr. Laufer and Dr. Riss had a flashlight. Nurse Tzviah tried—” his voice cracked again. “I told them not to waste any more time on me, to help the others.”

I’d never heard this story. The war hero rarely talked about those weeks in Jerusalem. Despite his success many years later, he apparently never forgot that night.

“The reinforcements didn’t arrive in time. We held out as long as we could.”

“Forgive yourself.”

Tears welled up and he coughed. His eyes stared and the medic shocked him again.

“We have a heartbeat, a faint one,” the nurse said.

Should I leave so he could save his strength or stay and let him finish?

General Goren said, “I must tell you this before I’m gone.”

“I’m listening.”

The room became quiet. The only sound was his weak, raspy voice.

“You had a scar on your forehead. You walked over and touched me. The pain left. I cried out to the nurse—I wanted to know who you were—but you were gone.”

My hero had mistaken me for someone else.

“Thank you for saving my life,” the General said. “I didn’t tell you before because I didn’t think you would believe me.”

I squeezed his hand.

“God has great plans for you. You’re an angel.” The old man stopped breathing.

“He’s gone,” said the medic.

We checked the monitor. The war hero who had survived so many battles was no longer with us.

I ran out the door, tripping over the cat. I stopped and turned to face the poor creature. “Sorry,” I muttered.

His gray eyes stared into space, but the cat’s purrs reached my ears. 

I reached down and picked him up. Stroking his head gently, I leaned over and kissed him. Couldn’t the blind animal have been wrong just this once?

THE COST OF LIVING IN AN UPSIDE-DOWN WORLD: Christian Blogger Lorilyn Roberts




To My Readers,

 

My good friend, Michael Jack Webb, sent me the following email a couple of days after I posted my blog post of 5/24/2021, “Is It Time to Leave Your Church? Why I left Mine,” and his insights were so good, I received permission from him to post his words here in a follow-up post. 

First, let me say my former church did not like what I wrote. I received this text, “Your blog post was very hurtful to quite a few people who read it,” and in the same text message, I was told, “Please do not come to the One Another Group dinner tonight,” which was the last prayer group meeting until this fall.

These are my final comments (this blog post) on leaving Creekside Community Church. I posted the May 24th blog post not to make my church angry, but because many people had asked why I left. I had been at Creekside for decades, and I didn’t want to have to speak about it anymore. Just rehashing the events that led to my departure was painful. 

As the days before the Lord’s return draw near, I believe God will bring new people into our lives, and He will remove some friends that we always thought would be life-long friends. 

I would urge readers to commit all their relationships to God. The time we have left might be so short that we should surround ourselves with friends passionate about sharing their faith with the unsaved. Associate with those who are unyielding in their commitment to Jesus Christ. Be prepared to lose friendships. It’s part of the upside-down world now in which we live.

As Michael Webb says below, leaving my former church was painful. Lymphedema from my cancer surgery three years earlier flared up. I was sick in bed for two days running a fever, so I went to the emergency room. They discovered I had a UTI and put me on antibiotics.

In the midst of what I can only describe as a crisis, I cried out to God, “Where should I go to church, Lord?” We were in the middle of the pandemic, and most churches were closed. It’s not an easy thing to leave a church you’ve attended for over thirty years and start new relationships at 65 years old in an unfamiliar church. I felt broken and alone. 

As I’m crying out to God with these thoughts racking my brain, God immediately answered, “Kol Simcha.”

God’s swift answer shocked me:  I hadn’t thought about Kol Simcha in decades. However, I knew the rabbi and his wife who founded it. 

We had met at the Jewish Center at The University of Florida in the early 1990s. I remembered the first time they came. I had been dancing with the Jewish students for about a year when they showed up looking for the Jewish dance classes. They had brought their two young children with them. I had stepped outside momentarily, right as they approached. 

It was a divine appointment as we made quick introductions. How often do you run into Christians at a Jewish worship center on a university campus?

Now, thirty years later, we renewed our friendship. As I started attending, I discovered other friends I’d lost touch with that are members at Kol Simcha. Some were people I knew not just superficially but deeply.  

Some have asked me questions about what worship is like in a Messianic congregation, including my mother. She asked, “Do they believe Jesus is the Messiah?”

I think as we near the Lord’s return, we will see the convergence of Jews and Christians in worship. True, undefiled worship is going to become increasingly complex, especially for large churches. Now I’ve found a passion for Yeshua in the Messianic congregation unparalleled in the traditional Christian church.

Yes, Messianic congregations do believe Jesus is the Messiah. For the curious, I will write a follow-up blog post that will focus on the similarities and the differences between Messianic congregations and Christian churches. I’m still learning. I will say here, my understanding of the Old Testament has magnified as I’ve discovered more of the Old Testament in the New Testament. I am growing in my faith and my love for Yeshua Hamashiach, and I’m thankful to be surrounded by others who share my passion and love for the Messiah.

Please read my friend’s email below. I believe God meant these powerful words not only for me but for other Christians who find themselves in a similar situation. Take heart. God has overcome the world and will not leave you or forsake you.


Morning Lorilyn—

 

Very powerful!

I know it must have cost you a great deal to leave and to post your article.

I’m praying for you. (Phil. 6-9)

      

We are in the season of the Great Falling Away. (2Thess. 2:3)

          You can’t “fall away” from something you were never part of.

          So, even though many disagree, large numbers of “Believers” are indeed falling away from Christianity and embracing “another gospel.” (2 Cor. 11:3-4, Gal. 1:5-7).

          It’s both a troublesome and exciting time, for it is Scripture unfolding before our eyes. (Ezek. 39:21)

          God is truly winnowing His “church” identifying and separating the sheep from the goats. (Ps. 77:13-14, 78:65-72).

          He is identifying His Remnant. (Heb. 5:5-11).

          In days to come there will be much weeping, gnashing of teeth, and tearing of garments as Holy Spirit moves in power across the Earth.

          We are at the beginning of the birth pangs of Christ’s return (Matt. 24:7-9).

          God is giving the Faithful an opportunity to draw night to Him in intimacy in preparation for what is racing upon us like a speeding freight train (Heb. 11:6).

          There will be persecution for those who remain steadfast (Phil. 3:9-11).

          Our comfort is that those who persecute us today, we who do not bow to other gods, are of the same spirit as those who persecute(d) Jesus.

          Stay strong, my friend (Eph. 6:10).

          God has given you a powerful voice - His Voice - and a platform.

          Continue to use it wisely as Holy Spirit guides you in all things.

         

Blessings, and shalom,

In Him,

Jn. 14:21

IS IT TIME TO LEAVE YOUR CHURCH? WHY I LEFT MINE: Christian Blogger Lorilyn Roberts



If you are like me, your church is your family. It’s where you go for help, where you go for prayer, where you share your dreams, where you worship the Lord you love, and where you unite with like-minded individuals who share your commitment to Jesus Christ.

When I divorced in 1986, I stayed in Gainesville, Florida, because I didn’t want to leave my church.

When I arrived home with my first daughter from Nepal on May 8, 1994, which happened to be Mother’s Day, my prayer group greeted me at the airport. One of the church leaders prayed over us.

My church was my primary source of support through my year-long bout with late-stage breast cancer. To this day, some people in the church are still some of my dearest friends.

So, what happened that led me to leave my beloved church in October 2020?

The final betrayal to me was when the church leadership abandoned the preeminence of the unborn baby in the mother’s womb. If you aren’t pro-life in every way, then you have left your first love—Jesus Christ.

I have since learned that some of my closest friends and cohorts are pro-choice. They won’t come out and say it, but the truth speaks louder than words when pressed.

One friend said other issues were as important to her as the abortion issue, and she wasn’t a one-topic voter. In fact, she had become a registered Democrat. She hated Trump. A cohort this last week said she could not talk to me about her position on abortion. She also hated Trump.

After being shocked by what they said, sadness filled my heart. I can understand why someone who isn’t a Christian might think abortion is a viable birth control measure; I can’t understand how a Christian could ever feel that way. 

Is it because the evangelical church has become so compromised, so wishy-washy, so consumed with materialism and losing tithers that, in essence, they are the end-time Laodicean church? Neither hot nor cold, they can neither inspire a generation of soul seekers for Christ nor can they discern the signs of the imminent return of Christ.

I’ve discovered many folks who profess to be evangelicals have an amillennial view of the reign of Christ. That means they don’t believe in a literal thousand-year worldwide rule of our Savior as King of kings. 

We live in a time of “tribal” warfare, and I believe this is intentional by God. It’s easy to believe there is safety in numbers. Surround yourself with liars, and you will become one yourself. I understood the millennium just from reading the Bible. I had to have someone interpret amillennialism for me because I could never find it in the Bible.

My former, long-time church in Gainesville, Florida, is filled with doctors, professors, and intellectuals who are much more learned than I am. How easy it is to be intimidated by “teachers” who are more educated. You believe they know better than you—especially a church that “worships” knowledge and prides itself on its meticulous study of Scripture and rightly dividing the Word.

If you visited my former church, that is what would impress you—the supremacy given to Bible study and becoming a learned disciple of Jesus Christ. Of course, there are other good things about my former church, but it’s the lack of living out that faith in accordance with the Scriptures that shattered me.

What specifically led to my leaving? My former church refused to post a letter from James Dobson that I wanted to be made available to the congregants that focused on the differences between the Republican and Democratic platforms.

During that same general time, one of the pastors led a prayer from the pulpit, encouraging the congregation to bend the knee for our confessed and unconfessed prejudice toward African-Americans.

I sent a blog post to my pastors about the origins of Black Lives Matter and a video by Pastor Brandon Holthaus at Rock Harbor Church, in Bakersfield, California, concerning the dangers of Critical Race Theory. One of the pastors emailed me back, “If I follow this pastor’s thinking to his logical conclusion, he would call me a useful idiot.”

That same pastor said it was wrong to close our southern borders to families with children coming here for freedom. We agreed to disagree. I worked as a court reporter for over twenty years. I believe we must follow all the laws of this great nation as they are written. We can change those laws if they aren’t working. We can’t find all those missing people who have entered our country illegally once they are here. I captioned one of the hearings on C-Span where they talked about this very thing. Most of them never show up for their court hearing. That’s why we have so many illegal aliens in our country.

Think about the ramifications—actually, now you don’t need to. Just watch Fox News and see the consequence of open borders—the heartbreak, the misery, and the suffering. We will be paying the price forever. How sad for all those victims—and it was completely avoidable. My former pastor got what he wanted.

Someone who shall remain anonymous told me that every elder of my former church voted for Biden except one. How tragic. Years ago, there was a book for kids titled, What Would Jesus Do? I wonder, would Jesus have voted for Trump? God has allowed Biden to be our president for a time, but I don’t think he was God’s choice.

When my former church implemented the mask mandate, I returned once. After an hour of torture, I realized I could not sit through a church service wearing a covering over my face and worship the God I love.

One of the elders on the board of my former church is an infectious disease doctor, and he went along with the official treatment narrative of the CDC. Because he said Remdesivir was the best treatment available, everybody at church believed him—everybody except me. He also said hydroxychloroquine was an unacceptable alternative. I knew that wasn’t true.


What about the church’s position on Israel? One member told me she did not believe the promises of God to Israel applied today and that she supported the Palestinians. Now I think this perversion of truth permeated the church’s underlying thought. I don’t remember ever praying corporately for Israel. Based on a sermon one of the pastors gave on the Olivet Discourse, I asked him afterward if he believed in Replacement Theology. He asked me what that was. Perhaps he just wanted to make sure he understood my question. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. 

I anticipate a rocky road ahead for the Christian church. Many evangelical leaders, because they hate Trump, have lost, in my opinion, the ability to lead. John Piper, Max Lucado, Russell Moore, and Tim Keller are four high-profile Christian leaders whose books I read and pastors/authors I admired. I gave away all of my books that they wrote, and I had dozens.

I know many people will disagree with me, and I’m okay with that. I am accountable to God for everything I write and for what I believe. I fear God—not man. For those who share my deeply-held beliefs, know you aren’t alone. Just because a doctor, a pastor, or an intellectual tells you that abortion is acceptable, be a Berean. Search the Scriptures and ask yourself: How is abortion different from child sacrifice to Baal? We know what God said about that. What you may not know is that there is power in that blood—and the Satanists need that power to carry out their demonic purposes. We are waging a battle for the souls of humankind—people that God sent His Son to die for. 

Satan hates all human life, and babies in the womb are an easy target because they are defenseless. Too many have closed their ears to their helpless cries and hardened their hearts to the truth.  The babies’ organs are harvested—harvested while they are still living. Imagine having your limbs pulled off and your organs removed while you are still alive. And you want to tell me you can’t stand up for the unborn child? Anyone who voted for Biden or who calls himself pro-choice will have to answer to God.

I have now officially joined a Messianic congregation, Kol Simcha, in Gainesville, Florida. I am growing once again in my faith and am thankful to be part of a dynamic pro-family, pro-Israel, pro-freedom church that loves the Jewish Messiah, Yeshua Hamashiach. I feel a soul connection and find peace and serenity with other believers who are waiting expectantly for our Savior’s return.

Amid a world turned upside-down, where evil is called good and good is called evil, I’m thankful to unite with others who share my heart for God. I believe no matter what comes, I am safe. I am where I need to be.

If you are unhappy with your church, ask God to lead you somewhere else. Don’t stay in a compromised church. While I believe revival is coming, I also think persecution is coming. 

If the government can mandate a young child to wear a mask, shut down churches, and lie to you, it will have no qualms asking YOU to take the “mark of the beast.” It’s only a matter of time.

Get ready now to fight the greatest battle you’ve ever fought. If you aren’t willing to live for Jesus Christ, you will never be willing to die for Him.
