My article on Nov. 26, 2022, was titled “Give us a Leader.”

Among other things, I wrote:

• Since the mid-term elections, TV and social media pundits are saying, “Biden, Pelosi, Trump, and McConnell are too old. We need fresh blood, someone with new ideas to solve our problems. It is time for someone else to lead, someone that can appeal to young voters, a uniter, not a divider.”
• The interesting thing about this is that Bible prophecy teachers have long said there will be an outcry for “a man with a plan” at the end of the age.
• We can be sure he (the Antichrist) is coming, and it is even likely that he is alive and ready to answer the call.

Following Pres. Biden’s recent disastrous debate with former Pres. Trump, most of the Democrats, many in the major media and social media, and many foreign leaders appear to be freaking out over America’s leadership and the upcoming presidential election.

Most have finally stopped lying and started admitting that the man that is now in the Oval Office is unqualified to hold it for 4 more years.

Some ask:

• Who should we get to replace Biden in the presidential campaign?
• Should it be Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Gavin Newsome, Gretchen Whitmer, who, who, who?
• Who can stop Trump, stop Russia, establish peace in the Middle East?

Some say:

• The consequences are far too high; Joe must go.
• The Democratic Party has panicked.
• Concerns over his mental health have exploded.
• Many Democrats and media sources are in disarray because it is clear that they have been lying to the public.

I do not know what they will do or who they will get.

I just know:

• That there is an outcry for a leader unlike anything I have ever heard before.
• That it is 2024, and the globalists want a New World Order (world government) by 2030 or sooner, if possible.
• That God raises up leaders, and God brings down leaders.
• That God gives some nations weak leaders and other nations strong leaders.
• That God will decide who becomes president of the U.S.

And I don’t know, but it is my opinion that the person God chooses could be in office when the “man with a plan” arrives.

We know that he is coming, and it looks like the stage is being set for his arrival.

Here are other recent events that seem to indicate that the end of the age is near:

One, concerning wars and rumors of wars, the Battle of Gog and Magog, and a possible Psa. 83 war: on July 3, 2024, i24News reported that Israeli intelligence officials have new intelligence that shows that Iran is actively extending its influence through proxies in Jordan, Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Sudan, and now, the Horn of Africa (home to Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Somalia as well).

(More: On July 7, 2024, it was reported that Avigdor Liberman, a member of the Israeli Knesset, said, “Without a decisive blow against Iran, we will not overcome Hezbollah or Hamas. We are fighting many fronts, but there is only one thing we need to do, to go to the source, which is Iran. Without Iran, there is no Hezbollah, no Islamic Jihad, and no Hamas.”)

(More: On July 9, 2024, it was reported that satellite pictures show that Iran is expanding 2 of its missile production facilities.)

Two, concerning world government: on July 6, 2024, Prophecy News Watch posted an excellent article (posted on Activist Post on June 29, 2024) by Tracy Thurman about the globalist One Health agenda.

This is extremely important because the One Health agenda is being pushed by the World Health Organization, the World Bank, Bill Gates, the Rockefeller Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the Center for Disease Control, the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and others.

The One Health crowd wants world leaders to approve a global institution to control the health of the planet, including the health of all people, the plants, the animals, and the ecosystems (swamps, prairies, oceans, forests, etc.).

According to Thurman, among other things, to ensure sustainability of everything, they want to:

• Require prescriptions for groceries (to make sure you are eating what they say is good for you, good for the planet, good for the plant and animal world, etc.).
• Control (limit) your healthcare (if they think it is damaging the environment, you have not been vaccinated, etc.).
• Decide whether you need to live or not.

Here is a link to the article:

https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=7068&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

Three, concerning the salvation of all Israel at the Second Coming of Jesus (Rom. 11:26): on July 4, 2024, it was reported that a Jerusalem Post poll taken in Feb. 2024 found that 33% of Israelis report a strengthened faith in God since October 7th.

Faith in God is not the same thing as accepting Jesus as their Saviour, but many are becoming more spiritual, and ultimately all that survive the Tribulation Period will accept Jesus.

Four, concerning a falling away in the Church and the coming one-world satanic religion: I recently reported that Roman Catholic Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano was summoned to appear at the Vatican on June 20 to face the beginning of a trial on charges that he has committed schism (promoted discord; caused dissent or conflict) and denied the legitimacy of Pope Francis.

Here is part of Vigano’s response (with my words in parentheses):

• Bergoglio (Pope Francis) promotes uncontrolled immigration and calls for the integration of cultures and religions (a one-world religion).
• Bergoglio authorizes the blessing of same-sex couples and imposes on the faithful the acceptance of homosexualism while covering up the scandals of his protégés and promoting them to the highest positions of responsibility. (He promotes and covers up immorality in the Church.)
• Bergoglio… supports the Agenda 2030 (the coming satanic world government) and attacks those who question the theory of manmade global warming (attacks those that disagree with the unproven views of climate-change radicals).
• He has mandated the use of experimental gene serums (Covid-19 vaccinations), which caused very serious damage, death and sterility, calling them “an act of love” in exchange for funding from pharmaceutical companies and philanthropic foundations.
• Bergoglio is to the Church what other world leaders are to their nations: traitors, subversives, and final liquidators of traditional society who are certain of impunity (he supports the satanic New World Order).
• I am honored not to have – and indeed I do not want – any ecclesial communion with them: theirs is a lobby, which conceals its complicity with the masters of the world in order to deceive many souls and prevent any resistance against the establishment of the Kingdom of the Antichrist.

Vigano’s trial is now over, and here is an update:

• Vigano decided not to attend his trial or defend himself.
• On July 4, 2024, Vigano was found guilty of schism.
• On July 5, 2024, Vigano was notified that he would be excommunicated (meaning he cannot take communion, but if he will repent, Pope Francis can cancel his excommunication).

(My opinion: Since Bergoglio became Pope Francis, some have suggested that he might be the coming globalist False Prophet. I have often expressed doubts because of his age. Vigano has often and clearly spoken out against Pope Francis and some of the Roman Catholic leaders who, in my opinion, are guilty – but I believe Vigano was calling for repentance, not schism. Nevertheless, his statements about Pope Francis and some Roman Catholic leaders, his trial, and his sentence reflect the prophesied falling away in the church at the end of the age. The Bible says it would happen, and it is happening.)

Five, concerning a falling away and a new global religion: on June 27, 2024, LifeSiteNews reported that a new Roman Catholic Document called “The Bishop of Rome” reveals that Pope Francis plans to replace the current papacy with a new kind of papacy that will lead to a global ecumenical church without doctrine or discipline.

29 years ago, at the request of Pope John Paul III, many non-Catholic denominations submitted their objections to Roman Catholic doctrine and their suggestions for changing the Roman Catholic Church.

As I understand the article, Pope Francis is preparing to follow through on the non-Catholic objections and suggestions to hopefully create a new united world religion.

There is a lot that I do not understand, so here is a link to the article:

https://www.lifesitenews.com/analysis/new-vatican-document-reveals-francis-plan-for-a-grotesque-parody-of-the-papacy/?ct=t(EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_9_24_2018_20_33_COPY_01)&mc_cid=463f43ce10&mc_eid=db0e058bb1

(My thoughts: I am wondering if this has anything to do with the excommunication of Archbishop Vigano, and, considering that we are getting close to the Tribulation Period, if we are seeing a major step toward MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH; Rev. 17.)

Six, concerning a ceasefire in the Middle East: on July 7, 2024, Netanyahu’s office issued 4 things that Israel will require:

• Any deal will allow Israel to return to fight until all the war’s goals are met.
• Weapons will not be allowed to be smuggled to Hamas from the Gaza-Egypt border.
• Thousands of armed terrorists will not be allowed to return to the northern Gaza Strip.
• Israel will maximize the number of living hostages that are freed from Hamas captivity.

Seven, concerning inflation and the decline of America: on July 9, 2024, the Biden administration announced that it has blocked all drilling, mining, and gas and oil development on 28 million acres of land (about the size of Pennsylvania) in Alaska, and it has cancelled the construction of a 211-mile Trump-approved gravel road that would connect mines to a major highway.

An Alaska official said this makes 65 times the Biden administration has damaged Alaska’s economy.

Here is my daily update on the Israel-Hamas war:

Wednesday, July 3, 2024 (Day 272): The two-hundred sixteenth day of the resumed war. Day 58 of the attack on Rafah.

• Following the assassination of a senior Hezbollah commander, Hezbollah fired 100 rockets from Lebanon at Israeli targets.

Thursday, July 4, 2024 (Day 273): The two-hundred seventeenth day of the resumed war. Day 59 of the attack on Rafah.

• Hezbollah fired 100 rockets from Lebanon at Israeli targets for the second day in a row.
• In addition to 200 rockets in 2 days, Hezbollah attacked Israel with 20 drones.

• 63 members of Israel’s Knesset (a majority) requested a law to oppose a Palestinian state on the West Bank.
• Israel is reporting that there has been a breakthrough, and a hostage deal could be getting close (there are still unresolved issues, but the negotiations are continuing and making progress).

Friday, July 5, 2024 (Day 274): The two-hundred eighteenth day of the resumed war. Day 60 of the attack on Rafah.

• Hezbollah’s number-two official said the protests in Israel for a hostage deal and against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are likely to lead to a deal that ends the war in Gaza and leaves Hamas intact.

Saturday, July 6, 2024 (Day 275): The two-hundred nineteenth day of the resumed war. Day 61 of the attack on Rafah.

• 16 people were killed, and more than 50 were wounded at a municipal building and UNRWA school that Hamas was using to attack Israeli soldiers.

Tuesday, July 9, 2024 (Day 278): The two-hundred twenty-second day of the resumed war. Day 64 of the attack on Rafah.

• In recent days, Israel has discovered and destroyed 6 tunnels in Gaza City, discovered and destroyed several booby-trapped buildings, and killed more than 150 terrorists. One tunnel was a command-and-control center; several valuable intelligence documents were captured along with dozens of weapons (sniper equipment, RPGs, grenades, AK-47 rifles).
• Israel detected, and fighter jets stopped a suspicious object approaching Israel from the east.
• Israel struck an air-defense system that was operated by an Iranian-backed terrorist group in Syria.

Wednesday, July 10, 2024 (Day 279) The two-hundred twenty-third day of the resumed war. Day 65 of the attack on Rafah.

• Legislation to declare the UNRWA a terrorist organization cleared a committee in the Israeli Knesset and will now be voted on by all the Knesset members.
• Israel discovered evidence that Hamas was re-establishing its forces in Gaza City, and Israel ordered everyone to leave before Israel attacked.
• The U.S. will dismantle and abandon the $230 million pier it assembled in Gaza for the delivery of humanitarian aid.
• Israeli intelligence said Iran funded some of the pro-Palestinian protestors in the U.S.

FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).

Finally, are you Rapture Ready?

If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.

On June 24, Michael Snyder (Author, Speaker, End of the American Dream) wrote:

• We are closer to the unthinkable than we have ever been, but I have noticed that concern about global war has fallen to an exceedingly low level in the Western world. Many people are just having a good old time as if they didn’t have a care in the world, and meanwhile, global leaders on all sides are dragging us to the brink of destruction.

There is a great article (https://www.raptureready.com/tribulation/) on Rapture Ready by Dr. Thomas Ice, Dr. Harold Wilmington, and Terry James that lists 12 titles of the Tribulation Period.

Here are just 5: The Indignation; Day of God’s Vengeance; The Time of Trouble Such as Never Was; The Great Day of His Wrath; and The Hour of His Judgment.

Just a few undeniable signs that this time of God’s judgment is approaching are:

• The nation of Israel will come back into being, have a powerful military, be in possession of Jerusalem, be surrounded by enemies, be hated by all nations, and make plans to rebuild the Temple.
• Nations from the old Roman Empire (the EU) will unite.
• Knowledge will increase (AI).
• World government will begin to appear (globalism, the New World Order, the Great Reset by 2030 or sooner, if possible, borders erased, etc.).
• The technology to identify everyone and track all buying and selling will be coming on the scene (digital ID, digital currency, etc.).
• Good will be called evil, and evil will be called good (opposing abortion, LGBTQ, etc., is called evil; supporting these evils is celebrated).
• Russia, Turkey, Iran, and others will become allies and oppose Israel.
• And many more.

The thing that triggered this article is Michael Snyder’s statement that “Many people are just having a good old time as if they didn’t have a care in the world, and meanwhile, global leaders on all sides are dragging us to the brink of destruction.”

Snyder didn’t say it, but it sounded like something Jesus said:

But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

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 (Matt. 24:37-38).

Before the Great Flood, Enoch (who was Raptured; Gen. 5:24) named his son Methuselah, which some scholars say means, “When he is dead, it (the Great Flood) shall be sent.”

As Enoch was nearing the end of his life (969 years), immorality and wickedness was great on Earth, Enoch’s grandson Noah was building a great Ark, and he was warning people to repent because a Great Flood was coming.

The people ignored the Rapture of Enoch, Noah’s great Ark, and his prophetic warnings.

They lived their lives as though God didn’t exist and nothing bad would happen.

Jesus was saying when the Tribulation Period is approaching, immorality and wickedness will be great on Earth; most of society will ignore the Rapture, the signs, the prophetic warnings, and live their lives as though God doesn’t exist and nothing bad is going to happen.

To most of society, the judgment of God will be unthinkable, and they will not prepare.

Sadly, it is unthinkable to many in the Church and many behind the pulpit, too.

When prophecy is mentioned to some pastors and Church members, they say, “I have heard that all my life. Nothing has changed.”

It is unthinkable that some believe nothing has changed, but they say it.

We are not living in the same world we lived in 10-20 years ago.

(More: Enoch prophesied the Second Coming – Jude 1:14 – And Methuselah was an ancestor of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob or Israel, Mary, and Jesus.)

Here are recent current events that seem to indicate the unthinkable is close:

One, concerning wars and rumors of wars at the end of the age: on June 26, 2024, Israel’s President Herzog said,

• The international community cannot act surprised if the situation (between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon) spirals out of control, as the international community has almost done nothing to contribute to the full security of the residents of Israel despite repeated violations of treaties and international agreements from Lebanon by Hezbollah.

Two, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on June 28, 2024, it was reported that Israeli citizens have been preparing for an Israeli war with Hezbollah in Lebanon for months.

The CEO of a large store that sells tactical and outdoor equipment said:

• Customers are stocking up.
• Some gear up with weapons, while others focus on generators, lights, radios, and solar equipment. Many also bought bulletproof gear and tactical wearables. Thousands of generators were bought in the past few months, thousands of shelters were built, and tons of food and other emergency supplies were purchased.

Three, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on June 28, 2024, following Hezbollah rocket and drone attacks on Israel, Israeli jets conducted waves of attacks on several Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon.

(More: On June 29, 2024, the U.S. and Europe warned Hezbollah to ease up on attacking Israel and to back off to avoid a war with Israel. They believe Hezbollah is powerful but overconfident and unable to prevail over the power of Israel.)

(More: On July 2, 2024, Lebanon notified Israel through a third-party message that it does not want a war with Israel. Israel responded, “We need to return our residents to their homes; if it is not through a diplomatic solution, it will be through war.”

(My comment: No matter how powerful Hezbollah is and who helps them, they are unable to prevail over the power of Israel’s God.)

Four, concerning wars and rumors of wars at the end of the age: on June 28, 2024, following Ukraine’s use of U.S.-supplied weapons that killed 4 Russians and about 150 others in Crimea, Russia summoned America’s ambassador to Russia and informed her that Russia and the U.S. are no longer at peace with each other.

It was not a declaration of war, but it clearly signals a bad turn in the relationship between Russia and the U.S.

Five, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog in the latter days and latter years: on June 26, 2024, it was reported that Russia and Iran are in the final stages of a “big” treaty (comprehensive bilateral cooperation agreement) that will reflect an unprecedented upswing in their relationship.

This “big” treaty will strengthen their political, trade, and military relationship.

Six, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog: on June 27, 2024, it was reported that Israel has been practicing long-distance flights and operations for military activity in distant locations, including refueling aircraft and transporting planes and additional military units in case they need to strike Iran.

• On June 27, Israeli Prime Min. Netanyahu said, “Iran is fighting us on a seven-front war: obviously, Hamas, Hezbollah as well as the Houthis, the militias in Iraq and Syria, the West Bank, and Iran itself.”
• On June 27, 2024, Netanyahu warned a group of U.S. military officials that Iran is trying to conquer Saudi Arabia.
• On June 28, 2024, Iran warned that an Israeli attack on Lebanon could lead to a wider war involving all resistance fronts; all of Israel’s enemies, as in Psa. 83.
• On July 1, 2024, a senior Iranian official said Iran’s next attack on Israel will lead to complete victory.
• On July 2, 2024, Iran said it will throw all its military power behind Hezbollah if Israel launches a full-scale attack on Hezbollah in Lebanon.
• On July 2, 2024, Russia said if Israel sells Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine, there will be certain political consequences.

(More: Iran is trying to overthrow the government of Jordan – a Psa. 83 nation – to make this an eight-front war. But, even if Iran doesn’t succeed in toppling the king of Jordan, there are terrorist groups in Jordan that are operating against Israel.)

Seven, concerning the fact that Israel cannot be defeated: on June 27, 2024, Bible prophecy expert Amir Tsarfati wrote:

• Things are escalating in the north. Yes, we have political turmoil. Yes, my region of the world is chaotic. However, none of these realities change the fact that the promises of God are sure. God initiated my blessed country through Abraham. He rescued it through Moses. He restored it through Joshua. He preserved it through David. He rebirthed it from the ashes of the Holocaust, and He’s going to do an amazing work in my people in the future, just as He promised through the prophets and New Testament authors.

Eight, concerning deceit and animosity toward Israel: on June 30, 2024, the chair of the U.S. Foreign Affairs Committee (Michael McCaul) said the Biden administration has held up the transfer of 7 weapons systems to Israel.

Iran has significantly increased its shipments of weapons to Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Biden is delaying the shipment of weapons to Israel.

(My opinion: With God on Israel’s side, Israel will win with or without the U.S. Denying the weapons systems could mean that Israel will use bigger and more destructive weapons.)

Nine, concerning world government: last week, I reported that Klaus Schwab said this at the World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Dalian, China on June 25, 2024:

• To drive future economic growth, we must embrace innovation and force the collaboration across sectors, regions, nations, and cultures to create a more peaceful, inclusive, sustainable, and resilient future.

I specifically urged readers to notice that Schwab wants to:

• Force all regions, nations, and cultures to collaborate with the agenda of unelected globalists.

This week (on July 1, 2024), it was reported that UN Sec. Gen. Guterres wants the UN to adopt a set of Global Principles for Information Integrity that will allow nations to:

• Take immediate action to address the harm caused by misinformation, disinformation, and hate speech.

In my words, Guterres wants to monitor the media, online platforms, individuals, and others to silence all opposition to the globalist agenda (silence all opposition to the globalist desired New World Order, one-world religion, tracking all buying and selling, the gay agenda, Covid-19 jabs, to what they want citizens to eat, etc.).

(More: On July 1, 2024, Keisha Bottoms, a senior advisor for Biden’s presidential campaign, criticized The Atlantic Journal-Constitution – Georgia’s largest newspaper – for election interference, for criticizing debate performance.)

(More: When it was established that the Biden administration was conspiring with liberal social media networks – YouTube, Facebook, etc. – to censor users, Texas and Florida passed laws to prevent the censorship from happening. The networks sued to have the laws struck down. On July 1, 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to strike them down.)

(My opinion: Removing all opposition to a godless satanic world government will result in the rise of an evil government and the most disastrous 7 years of human history.)

Ten, concerning natural disasters increasing in frequency and intensity at the end of the age: on July 2, 2024, it was reported that the development of a Category 5 hurricane on or before July 4 is unprecedented, but Hurricane Beryl has appeared and broken the record for earliest Category 5 hurricanes by 15 days.

Brian McNoldy, a hurricane expert at the Univ. of Miami, said, “This storm continues to break records, ravage the Caribbean region, and stun scientists like me.”

Citizens in Mexico and on the western U.S. Gulf Coast need to monitor this record-breaking storm.

Here is my daily update on the Israel-Hamas war:

Wednesday, June 26, 2024 (Day 265): The two-hundred-and-nineth day of the resumed war. Day 51 of the attack on Rafah.

• Israel’s Defense Min. said Israel could take Lebanon “back to the Stone Age” in a war but added Israel preferred diplomacy.

• Israel assassinated a senior Hezbollah commander in Tyre, Lebanon.

FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).

Finally, are you Rapture Ready?

If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.
