THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE IN-BETWEEN

Apostasy and Doctrines of Demons

Iniquity Shall Abound

Days Of Noah: The Earth Is Once Again ‘Filled With Violence.’ Moses wrote this about conditions on the earth before the Noahic flood, “Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight, and the earth was filled with violence” (Genesis 6:6). The days of Noah have returned. The violence of our day is mind-numbing.

Last Days Treachery

First, some good news: Trump signs order calling for closure of US education department.
US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday to shut down the Department of Education, fulfilling an election campaign promise and a long-held dream of American conservatives.

Hillary Clinton Calls For Thought Police…. She always has a knack of popping up just when you’re about to forget she exists to remind everyone what kind of hell we’d be living in had she not lost to Trump nine years ago. Here she is in Germany at the “World Forum” this week once again calling for her side, in whatever form that comes in, to have the authority to control how people think, ironically in order to, she asserts, stop “autocrats” from taking over society.

And their Plan-Demic

The Left Knew They Were Lying To Us All Along. For years, the left has advanced utter untruths for cheap partisan purposes it knew at the time were all false. Now, when caught, they just shrug and say they lied all along. Once it was known that the first COVID case originated in or near a Chinese communist virology lab engineering gain-in-function deadly viruses—with help from Western agencies—the left went into full persecution mode. They damned as incompetent, racist, and conspiratorial any who used logic and evidence to point out that the Chinese government and its military were culpable for the virus and lying. A million Americans died of COVID. Millions more suffered long-term injuries. Still, left-wing media and the Biden regime demonized any who dared speak the truth about a lab origin of the deadly virus.

Also their Deliberate Border Disorder

Hezbollah Operative Planned to Bomb New York After Crossing Biden’s Out of Control Southern Border. Interesting details are emerging about a Hezbollah operative arrested right here on American soil. He came into the country a year ago, bound for New York. He admitted his ties to the terrorist group when captured by border agents in El Paso, Texas.

The number of people inside the club was at least double its official capacity of 250. “We have grounds for suspicion that there is bribery and corruption in this case.”

Wars and Rumors of Wars

Ukraine Accepts Partial Ceasefire After ‘Very Good Call’ Between Zelensky and Trump. Putin rejected an unconditional ceasefire offered by American and Ukrainian negotiators earlier this month but did accept an offer to restrict attacks on energy infrastructure in both countries. Further negotiations will be conducted in Saudi Arabia, including discussions on potentially expanding the partial ceasefire to include the Black Sea as an intermediate step to full ceasefire. Then this occurred…

SABOTAGING THE PEACE: After Zelensky Ramps-up Demands, Ukraine Blows-up Russian Gas Substation in Kursk Region, Defying Trump-Mediated Energy and Infrastructure Ceasefire.
Right after Ukrainian leader Zelensky ramped up his demands for territorial integrity in peace negotiations with Russia – something he will not get – now we see further proof that Ukraine is determined to sabotage the peace process and stop it dead in its tracks.

France issues its citizens with an invasion guide – including how to survive a nuclear attack – after Macron warned Europe must prepare for war. France is set to issue a survival manual to households, warning citizens how to respond to an invasion or any other ‘imminent threat.’ The dramatic move comes as tensions rise in Europe and fears grow over Russia’s aggressive tactics.

Trump releases US restraint, and empowers Israel to confront Iran, threatening to do what no American leader has ever dared.

Trump orders strikes on Houthi rebels over attacks on Red Sea shipping. President Trump launched a large-scale military strike against the Iran-backed Houthi rebels of Yemen on March 15. “They have waged an unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American and other ships, aircraft, and drones.”

Civilian death toll from Syrian government massacres surge past 1,300. As of March 12, the civilian death toll from the recent massacres committed by Damascus forces against Alawites on Syria’s coast has surged past 1,000.

The facility was used to plan and coordinate terrorist activities against Israel. The strike is part of Israel’s ongoing efforts to prevent terror groups from using Syrian territory as a base of operations.

Syria Attacks Lebanon; Israel Prepares For More Chaos. Major escalation at the Syria-Lebanon border. Fighting started after Hezbollah operatives kidnapped three Syrian army soldiers, dragged them to Lebanese territory from Syrian territory, and executed them. Both Syria and Lebanon are increasingly growing more unstable. Israel has been preparing for the chaos, insisting that not only the IDF stay in southern Lebanon but continue to attack both Hezbollah positions throughout Lebanon and Islamic Jihad bases in Syria. Israel’s government views both as enemies. The only way to ensure protection for Christians and Druze in the Levant is for Israel to extend its military oversight over the entire area – southern Syria and the whole of Lebanon.

Israel Launches Surprise Attack On Gaza. After Hamas refused to release the rest of the hostages, the IDF launched a wide-ranging set of airstrikes across the Gaza Strip beginning at 2 am on Tuesday morning.

‘Hamas eats like kings while hostages starve,’ Eli Sharabi tells UN . The UN cannot dispute the testimony of a hostage survivor who saw with his own eyes Hamas benefiting from U.N. humanitarian aid. “They would eat many meals a day from the U.N. aid in front of us, and we never received any of it,” he testified. “When you speak of humanitarian aid, remember this. Hamas eats like kings while hostages starve.”

IDF struck Syrian military bases to neutralize threats on March 21. Israel’s Air Force, in recent weeks, struck dozens of military targets belonging to the old regime of Assad, intending to further degrade the military infrastructure for fear it would fall to hostile elements operating in the country’s territory. In February, Defense Minister Katz confirmed Israel was striking targets in Syria, saying, “The air force is currently striking with force in southern Syria as part of the new policy we have defined of demilitarizing southern Syria. And the message is clear: we will not allow southern Syria to turn into southern Lebanon.”

BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH

Apostasy and Doctrines of Demons

Mardi Gras Draws Ire of Christians in Australia After Open Mockery of Jesus. Sydney was once again the host city for a Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, which ran from February 14 to March 2. The theme for this year’s festival was “Free to Be.” After witnessing one such moment, where a drag performer was pointing a spear at a person dressed as Jesus Christ, it is clear that some participants wanted to exercise their freedom to be blasphemous!

The Church of AI And the Techno-Utopian Gospel. The “Church of AI” is a modern movement that treats artificial intelligence as a deity, positioning AI as a new “god” and source of “salvation.” Its website (church-of-ai.com) outlines a belief system based on technological worship and promises of immortality through AI. The “Church of AI” stands as a clear antithesis to biblical Christianity. Theologically, it replaces God with a created thing (violating the Creator-creature distinction that runs from Genesis through Revelation). Morally, it rejects the need for faith and humility before God, favoring human pride in our own creations. And eschatologically, it aligns with the Bible’s depiction of end-times deception: a strong delusion drawing people into worshiping a false god and seeking salvation apart from Jesus.

Islamic Terrorism

Syrian Christians ‘hid under furniture’ to escape slaughter in Syria. Abu Ali, an Evangelical Christian from Jerusalem, compared the current situation of Syria’s Christians to the terror Israeli residents faced on Oct. 7, 2023. “This is a reality they face every single day. Except, there are no heroic soldiers coming to defend them. They’re on their own,” Abu Ali said.

Pervasive Perversion

Agriculture Secretary Cancels $600K Grant To Study ‘Menstrual Cycles In Trans Men.’ The United States Department of Agriculture announced they’ve canceled a grant worth $600,000 for the study of menstrual cycles in transgender men.

The Abortion Abomination

Planned Parenthood Kills 18-Year-Old Girl in Botched Abortion. Lexi experienced an amniotic fluid embolism (AFE), a life-threatening complication with a high death rate, especially in 2nd and 3rd trimester abortions. Amniotic fluid enters the mother’s bloodstream, which can lead to an array of serious and sudden reactions, including cardiac arrest and widespread bleeding.“ This young woman was nearly six months along in her pregnancy.” The later in pregnancy a woman has an abortion, the higher the risk. Did anyone tell Lexi about that risk before she chose to undergo a procedure that ultimately cost her life, along with the life of her child?”

Iniquity Shall Abound

Killing site in Jalisco, Mexico just the latest in a long series of gruesome discoveries. Prosecutors in western Mexico confirmed the discovery of hundreds of clothing items and bone fragments by a group searching for relatives at a previously known cartel training site. The gruesome discovery in Jalisco was hardly the first. Mexico’s official registry counts over 120,000 disappeared people. The discovery of such places has accelerated in the past 15 years as more relatives do the work the government often won’t to search for missing loved ones.

Last Days Traitors

In Portland, Oregon: Shots fired into Tesla dealership in string of attacks on company since Musk began advising Trump. For the second time this week gunshots were fired into an Oregon Tesla dealership amid ongoing protests and vandalism against the company.

Plague, Pestilence, and Plandemics

Iranian darknet site caught supplying deadly fentanyl to Americans. Iran found a new way to harm Americans. For 3 years, Nemesis operated on the dark web, accessible only to those with specialized browsers designed to mask identity/location. With 1,000 vendors selling narcotics, counterfeit ID documents, and hacking services, the site processed nearly $30 million in sales.

Weather Events

Monster storm across the US sparks threat of tornadoes and fire, killing at least 17. Violent tornadoes that ripped through parts of the U.S. proved deadly as well as destructive as whipping winds moved east into the Mississippi Valley and Deep South on Saturday, with at least 17 people killed and scores of homes decimated. The most fatalities as of Saturday morning were in Missouri (11). On Friday, three people were killed in car crashes during a dust storm in Amarillo, Texas. The deaths come as a massive storm system moving across the country unleashed winds that triggered deadly dust storms and fanned over 100 wildfires.

Wars and Rumors of Wars

‘Evil Empire Summit’ Set for Friday in Beijing: Chinese, Russian, Iranian leaders gathering to defy Trump, sharpen anti-US alliance. On March 14, senior officials of the three most dangerous nations on the planet – Communist China, Russia, and Iran – huddled in Beijing. Why? To defy U.S. President Trump, to strengthen and sharpen their anti-U.S. and anti-Western alliance. Also see ‘It could go very dark, very fast,’ Joel Rosenberg says in drastic warning about Iran, China & Russia.

Putin Issues US List of Demands to Achieve 30-Day Ceasefire. While the Russian leader said he is ‘for’ achieving a 30-day ceasefire, he has raised serious questions about what stipulations must be added. “We also want guarantees that during the 30-day ceasefire, Ukraine will not conduct mobilization, will not train soldiers, and will not receive weapons,” Putin said.

We can definitely see the foreshadowing of the fulfillment of Isaiah 17.

Tulsi Gabbard’s warning to Senate on Syria proves prophetic as Al Qaeda-linked regime slaughters minorities. The Director of National Intelligence’s warning of a terrorist takeover in Syria looks to be coming true amid reports that al Qaeda-linked terror forces aligned with Syria’s interim new president—a former al Qaeda terrorist—are being accused of massacring Alawites as well as members of the country’s dwindling Christian community. Alawhite is an Islamic sect that split with Shia Islam. Also see Jihadists In Syria Massacre Over 1000 Alawite & Christian Men, Women & Children.

After violence in Syria, Israel says it’s prepared to defend Syria’s Druze. Israel has a small Druze community, and there are also Druze living in Israel’s Golan Heights, which Israel captured from Syria in the 1967 Six-Day War. The Druze are Arabs who practice an offshoot of Islam. PM Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz instructed the military to be ready to defend a Druze town in the suburbs of Damascus from Syrian government forces. Also see Israel sends humanitarian aid packages to Druze community in southern Syria.

Israel strikes Hamas & PIJ targets in Syria in drastic warning to leader al-Sharaa. Israel struck a Hamas terror cell in southern Syria and a command center of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terror group in Damascus this week. The cell was planning to carry out terror attacks in the Israeli Golan Heights. Israel delivered 10,000 aid packages to the Druze community in southern Syria. Following the fall of the Assad regime and takeover of the government by the Islamist terror group Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), Israeli PM Netanyahu affirmed Israel’s intent to maintain all of southern Syria as a demilitarized zone.

Conclusion

Wall Street Finally Admits DOGE’s Work To “Detox” Government Is Critical, But Will Be Brutally Painful. “The global handoff from big government to the free market may prove slippery, but it seems necessary given large deficits and bloated debt burdens.” In other words, brace for lots of pain as Trump tries to fix years and decades of uniparty graft and corruption. And not just in the US: the handoff is global: the public-to-private shift is happening everywhere.

Things are worse than we thought. Although Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was referring to the U.S. when lamenting “things are worse than she thought,” it could apply to almost any area in the world at this point. The world is in a sad state of affairs, reeling from the spontaneous combustion of hatred, bloodthirstiness, deep turmoil, lawlessness, and utter chaos. Even the most talented negotiators cannot change the evil hearts of those who are committed to bring down the pillars of the world’s house, whether or not it means their own end, because life, to them, is just a convenient vehicle to destruction.  If they cannot achieve their goals, they will make sure that no one else can either.

But we students of Bible prophecy know what to expect.
