THE NATIONS ARE RIPE FOR GOD’S WRATH 

Apostasy and Doctrines of Demons

Kamala Harris Claimed at a Pennsylvania Church That Voting for Her Fulfills God’s Will. One person spoke up and disagreed but was escorted out of the church.

Christians demand Welby’s resignation after gay sex comment. UK Christians are calling for Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby’s resignation following his comments supporting same-sex relationships.

Vatican unveils Jubilee Year mascot ‘Luce’ created by pro-LGBT artist, which aims to connect with young Catholics through ‘pop culture.’ The blue-haired cartoon pilgrim wears a rainbow-colored rosary around her neck. This isn’t the first time the Vatican has appeared to promote pro-LGBT artwork.

Global Warming aka Climate Change Agenda. CO2 emissions don’t cause climate change. Causes are solar cycles, volcanoes, ocean currents, and atmospheric moisture, not caused by humans. Marxists embrace the climate scam because it damages industry, raises costs, and undermines the economy. Their agenda is to destroy then rebuild their way. Green Agenda Scammers – investors in windmills, solar modules, EVs, and other infrastructure of the climate scam – stand to make billions with help from extravagant government subsidies. They don’t care that it collapses in the end as long as they get rich at taxpayer expense in the meantime.

Islam Incursion

Islam and Leftism: A United Strategy to Destroy Western Freedoms and enforce ideological control, gradually dismantling individual sovereignty and reshaping society from within.

Hatred of Jews and Israel

Chicago Jihad Attack: ‘Allahu Akbar’ Shooter Targets Jewish Man on Way to Synagogue; Media and Police Whitewash Islamic Threat (video). Mainstream media reports on the attack downplayed the shooter’s cry of ‘Allahu Akbar,’ failing to acknowledge religious motivation.

Brooklyn’s Jewish Community Under Siege: Media, Democrats, and Pro-Hamas Allies Turn a Blind Eye to Rising Antisemitic Violence, fueled by open-border policies and ignored by a complicit media, threatening their safety and silencing their voices.

Israel Passes Landmark Law Ending UNRWA Activities. “UNRWA is not a refugee aid agency; it is a Hamas aid agency.”

Pervasive Perversion

Lawsuit Filed After School Forces 5th Graders to Recruit Kindergarteners into Gender Ideology. Two Christian families are suing two teachers, a principal, and Encinitas Union School Board in California.

Transgender Sues Hooters Over Employment Denial. A New York biological male claiming to be a woman filed a lawsuit against Hooters for discrimination after being denied employment on multiple occasions. “Brandy” Livingston alleged that workers harassed them when Livingston would frequent the establishment as a patron. “They would use male pronouns – they would refer to me as ‘he,'” Livingston, who recently transitioned, complained.

UK: ‘Dangerous predator’ caught in online sting. Jared Lamb sent explicit messages about how he intended to abuse a five-year-old child along with a series of indecent images to undercover officers posing as the girl’s father, South Yorkshire Police said.

Last Days Traitors and Their Treachery

As Christians Go to The Polls, We Must Remember: The Future of Our Nation Is at Stake. America has drifted far from the Biblical values that once stood as our rock-solid foundation. Progressive, liberal thought and activism have so contaminated the mainstream of American life and culture that once-unthinkable abominations such as same-sex marriage, abortion on demand, and transgender advocacy have become dogma in the Democrat Party’s platform.

3 Ways the Left Plans to Stack Every Branch of Government. Liberal candidates have endorsed plans that would fundamentally transform all three branches of government, assure permanent left-wing power, and effect the domination of American politics.

Ben Shapiro Reveals New York Times’ Strategy to Silence the Right Ahead of Election Day. It’s pressuring YouTube to take adverse action against conservatives who allegedly spread “election misinformation.” Shutting off news information a week before the election – that’s The New York Times’ trick, representing media’s “October surprise,” last-minute effort to sway the presidential election.

Biden Lies to Explain Why He Called Trump Supporters’ Garbage.’ Also see White House Alters Biden’s ‘Garbage’ Comment In Transcript.

CNN’s Hypocrisy on Full Display at Trump Rally at Madison Square Garden. CNN is using the same line they used in 2016 and 2020 – that Trump is a “Nazi.” In reality, to see where Nazi flags and antisemitic ideologies thrive, they’re on liberal indoctrinated college campuses where protesters proudly display flags of terror organizations and scream anti-Jewish epithets. It’s absurd to label Trump a Nazi or a Fascist. He’s a straight-talking businessman who hates political correctness and means what he says.

We simply can’t afford to give the Biden team another heads-up. First, they leaked top-secret intelligence to interfere with Israel’s execution of an attack on Iran. Then, the Biden team risked the lives of our pilots by revealing our targets mid-operation!

‘Useful idiot’ media is implementing Sinwar’s genocidal strategy. Documentary evidence confirms what many already knew: that Hamas leader Sinwar weaponized the death of Gazan civilians, especially women and children. He admitted putting their own people in harm’s way to increase casualty figures. Yet the media make it seem as if Israel is the worst offender in history. And useful ignoramuses on university campuses, along with bigots in international organizations, falsely accuse Israel of genocide despite successful efforts of the IDF to reduce civilian casualties to the minimum possible, consistent with achieving their military goals.

Israel’s ambassador to UN Sec. Gen: “How dare you justify and defend an organization that employs murderous terrorists.” He presented a photo of an UNRWA worker abducting a murdered Israeli civilian’s body to Gaza.

Their Depopulation Agenda

Legalization could lead to coercion and societal pressure to opt-in to “assisted dying.” On Nov. 29, the “assisted dying” bill will have its second reading in UK’s House of Commons. State-approved euthanasia could lead to coercion of patients to agree to be killed by their doctor and how those “offered” euthanasia will be expanded to include others and not limited to those as stated at the bill’s inception.

Their Destroy and Replace Marxist Agenda Through Deliberate Border Disorder

UN Non-Profits Pave the Way for Permanent Mass Migration. A 75,000-square feet mega-mall, built to enable industrial-scale illegal immigration to the U.S. southern border, is scheduled for a December opening. Powerful global agencies that will run the mass migration operation inside, the UN key among them, are very much bullish on a long-term future of continued heavy U.S.-bound illegal immigrant traffic through Mexico.

Migrants surging into US ahead of election. If Trump wins, free lunch would likely come to an end. Among the large groups crossing into South Texas are more migrants from countries deemed as “special interest” due to being hotbeds of terror suspects – including Iran, Angola, Guinea, and Pakistan. The number of special interest aliens crossing the southern border have surged under the Biden-Harris regime with 1.7 million encounters of such migrants.

MS-13 gang member found guilty of several murders in Northern Virginia. Federal court documents describe the gruesome killings, which included stabbings, shootings, limbs being cut off and discarded or buried. The victims range in age from a 19-year-old waitress in Fairfax shot sixteen times in the face after making a social media video disparaging MS-13 to a fellow gang member. Five victims were in Northern Virginia; one was in Massachusetts. One of the victims was killed because he was on a walking trail in Reston that the gang considered their turf.

Illegal immigrant MS-13 gang member arrested for murder of Virginia couple. The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office announced that an arrest has been made in connection with the shooting death of a couple in August. The suspect is reportedly an MS-13 gang member and is in the US illegally.

Illegal Migrants Account for Most Looting Arrests After Florida Hurricanes.

Orwellian Society

Surveillance State has Arrived, and It’s Being Implemented by Our Cities and Towns. Cities across the US are installing hidden surveillance cameras that track everyone everywhere.

Plague, Pestilence, and Plandemics

Biden-Harris regime spent $900 million pushing faulty COVID messaging. For instance, the report cited the CDC telling Americans that taking the Covid vaccine would prevent them from getting Covid, which turned out to be false. The report also pointed out that “The CDC had inconsistent and flawed messaging about effectiveness of masks” and “the CDC consistently overstated the risk of Covid to children.”

Doctor breaks down how Covid outbreak was used to force injections, ‘not deal with the virus.’

After discussing the “missteps,” Dr, Ngare concluded: When only those promoting the Covid shot “have the right” to an opinion, and anyone promoting other kinds of prevention and treatment doesn’t have that right, then clearly there’s “an agenda” afoot. So, what’s the game plan? What’s the end goal?

Economic and Food Insecurity

Food Bank Lines in Swing States Growing Longer. The president of Feeding America West Michigan said, “We have never seen this level of need in the 43 years we have been serving this community. It is significantly higher than during Covid and has pressed us beyond our capacity.”

Polish radio station mocked for replacing its presenters with AI and interviewing dead people. The radio station fired several journalists and replaced them with AI presenters who conducted interviews with dead people using AI-generated responses.

Weather Events

United States sees record-breaking 24 billion-dollar weather disasters in 2024, with 418 fatalities. This year’s toll greatly exceeds the long-term annual average of 8.5 events recorded between 1980 and 2023 and surpasses the recent five-year average of 20.4 events.

U.S. National Hurricane Center tracks 3 disturbances as Subtropical Storm Patty forms. What does it mean for the U.S. coasts? It’s all clear this weekend, but stay aware of the situation.

Concern that drought conditions could worsen over much of U.S. Midwest. Dr. Eric Snodgrass, an atmospheric scientist, says there are two strikes against a large region of the Corn Belt that is extremely dry. “Low soil moisture throughout the Great Plains to the Midwest all the way to the Great Lakes, one of the driest falls on record. The other strike is this weak La Nina.” He said historically that means there’s about a 60% chance of drought next year.

Cleanup begins in Valencia after Spain’s worst floods in history claim over 200 lives.

Tropical Storm Trami (aka Kristine) has affected the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, and China, causing widespread flooding, landslides, and fatalities, impacting over 7.9 million people. Overall, Trami was responsible for 162 deaths, 31 missing, and 125 injured. The Philippines was hit the hardest, with at least 126 deaths.

Remnants of Typhoon “Kong-rey” (aka Leon) bring record rains to China, risk of landslides and severe flooding in Japan after causing destruction in Taiwan, with 3 dead and over 500 injured. Japan is already experiencing its effects, which are expected to last through Nov. 3.

Wars and Rumors of Wars

US Intelligence Report Says China Leads ‘Rapid Expansion’ of the Nuclear Arsenal. China is on track to possess over 1,000 operational nuclear warheads by 2030.

‘Backbone of Iran’s missile industry’ destroyed on Oct. 26. Israel hit targets where Iran produced solid fuel for long-range ballistic missiles, severely harming Iran’s ability to replenish its inventory.

Netanyahu Says Israel Hit Iran Hard. “We hit hard Iran’s defense capabilities and its ability to produce missiles that are aimed at us,” Netanyahu said, calling the attack “precise and powerful” and saying it met all its objectives. Israel’s defense minister said Hamas no longer functions as a military network in Gaza, and Hezbollah’s senior command and most of its missile capabilities are wiped out.

Iran vows response to Israel attack with all available tools despite a warning from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to stand down or pay a heavy price.

Khamenei said to order retaliatory attack against Israel after realizing damage from IDF strike too large to ignore.

Iran says it’s capable of building a nuclear weapon; Ayatollah Khamenei vows ‘tooth-breaking’ response to both Israel & the US. A top advisor to the Ayatollah said, “If an existential threat arises, Iran will modify its nuclear doctrine; we have the capability to build weapons and have no issue in this regard.” General Naeini of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said a strategic and crushing response beyond the enemy’s comprehension will be given to the enemy’s new aggression. Some reports suggest Iran could wait until after the U.S. presidential election; others say Iran’s retaliatory strike could come at any time.

Israel’s PM Netanyahu signaled that Iran’s nuclear program could be Israel’s next line of attack as Iran promises to return fire following last week’s air strikes. He said, “Halting the nuclear program has been and remains our chief concern. “…we will not take our eyes off this objective,” he added. A report by Axios said Israeli intelligence believes the imminent attack on Israel may not come directly from Iran next time but from an Iranian-backed militia in Iraq.

7 people in Israel killed in Hezbollah rocket attacks; deadliest day in months for northern Israel. Five people working in an apple orchard were killed when a rocket fired from Lebanon struck them on Thursday. Another was seriously wounded. One was an Israeli citizen; the others were foreign nationals. Hours later, two more people were killed while in an olive grove as Hezbollah fired dozens of rockets.

Iran And Its Proxies Aren’t Battling Israel—They’re Going Up Against Almighty God.

Israel Launches 200+ Airstrikes in Escalated Operations Across Gaza and Lebanon. On Thursday, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) responded to projectiles launched from Lebanon toward northern Israel by striking the launch site and neutralizing the suspected assailant.

Russia-Iran treaty includes military pact, threatens Israel. Russia is seeking to consolidate its alliances with other anti-Western, authoritarian countries such as Iran and North Korea. The “comprehensive treaty” between Iran and Russia will include military cooperation and may pose a threat to Israel.

Two-State Delusion

Is The World Pushing Israel into The Arms of The Antichrist? We’re seeing stepping stones leading to the prophecy in Daniel 9:27. We’re told the Antichrist will confirm a covenant, a peace treaty, with Israel, but it will be a false peace. Isaiah 28 calls it a “covenant with death and hell.” Nevertheless, the world is pushing Israel to make peace. But Israel has bent over backward time and time again to obtain peace. The stumbling block is those who’ll never accept Israel as a Jewish State.

And a World in Confusion

Misplaced ‘Hope’ Has Made the World Ripe for The Reign of The Antichrist. As natural disasters, wars, rumors of wars, and diseases continue to cause great distress among the nations, people are searching for some type of hope to comfort them. In their frantic search, they look inward and outward instead of upward. This, to some degree, explains why the world is becoming ripe for Antichrist’s reign. Many will believe he’s the man with a plan who’ll restore hope. Not content to live by faith in Christ, many will fall for the wicked agenda of the Antichrist because they prefer to live by sight.

“Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us…. And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming” (1 John 2:18-19, 28).

TROUBLESOME TIMES

Apostasy and Doctrines of Demons

Self-proclaimed Witches Complain It’s Difficult to Cast Spells on Trump because he has “some kind of protection around him.” A witch then encourages her coven to perform “uplifting kinds of spells to help Kamala & the Democrats,” which is presumably needed given their increasingly dire poll numbers.

Kamala Harris Tells Christians, “You’re at the Wrong Rally. After Kamala made her pro-abortion, anti-Christian stance clear, a couple of pro-lifers shouted, “Jesus is Lord” and “Christ is King,” to which she said mockingly, “Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally. I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street,” referring to a Trump rally. The pro-lifers were mocked as they were escorted from the rally. (However, the opposite happened when a rally attendant shouted “Jesus is King” at a Trump/Vance rally. Sen. Vance quickly responded, “That’s right, Jesus is King.”)

Christianity Today (CT) Gaslights Israel One Year after Oct. 7th Terrorist Attack. One would expect Christianity Today to provide its subscribers with at least one article about the massacre. Instead, the theologians focused on how Israel makes its own enemies.

Islam Incursion

Minnesota’s Largest Muslim Cemetery: Step Toward Islamization in U.S. This 72-acre development will offer nearly 50,000 burial plots in the latest example of Islamic encroachment on American soil.

Six Al Jazeera ‘journalists’ exposed as Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists. Al Jazeera is the most anti-American, anti-Israel news media outlet in the Arab world. After terrorist attacks against the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001, that killed nearly 3,000 Americans, the TV network began giving Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda terrorists free access to broadcast their Islamist speeches/messages on its airwaves. Now, it appears Al Jazeera may have actual Islamist terrorists on their payroll.

Pervasive Perversion

Walz’s DNR funds “trans nonbinary naturalist’s” outdoor excursions for kids to explore “intersection of queerness and nature.” Parents are asked not to attend. Minnesota Gov. Walz’s Dept of Natural Resources funds the program catering to youth as young as 11. It’s called QUEERY and is led by a “trans-nonbinary naturalist” named Heron Mahr.

Parents plead with Supreme Court to uphold state bans on transgender mutilation of children, including some whose children were mutilated with transgender drugs and surgeries.

Tip leads to arrest of pastor/foster parent charged with 100 counts of child porn.

He was a foster parent to 76 children over the years.

Ex ‘American Idol’ Contestant Arrested on Possession of Child Pornography Charges. When he was a contestant in 2018, Katy Perry surprised him with a kiss, and he later complained that he wanted his first kiss to be special. We can assume he’d have preferred it from a child.

Women Have Lost Hundreds of Medals To ‘Transgender’ Athletes. Almost 900 medals that should have gone to female athletes have instead been awarded to men who claim to be “transgender.”

Doctor withheld results of puberty-blocker study for political reasons. A leading proponent of transgender procedures for minors admitted there were political reasons she didn’t publish results of a taxpayer-funded study showing no positive mental health effects for gender-dysphoric children.

And the Abortion Abomination

Why would any Christian vote for Harris? Pro-lifers react to her ‘anti-religious freedom’ abortion stance. Pro-life organizations are speaking out against the Dem presidential candidate after she stated she didn’t believe in religious exemptions for abortion.

Iniquity Shall Abound

3 Dead, 8 Injured in Mississippi Shooting after a school’s homecoming football win hours earlier. People at an after-party began to fight, pulled out guns, and opened fire.

Last Days Traitors and Their Treachery

Purported leaked US intelligence showed Israel’s plans for attack on Iran.

Biden-Harris admin approves military use of lethal force on US citizens. The Biden-Harris regime’s latest DoD directive has been accused of authorizing the U.S. military to use lethal force against American citizens. The directive gives the Pentagon authority to approve “assistance in responding with assets with potential for lethality, or any situation in which it is reasonably foreseeable … “Under this directive, it will become legal for the U.S. military to shoot and kill Americans who engage in political protest because they disagree with policies in the White House.”

Coming One-World Godless Government

We’re witnessing rollout of final stages of a plan 50 years in the making. We’re at the end of the plan, not the beginning, Dr. Meryl Nass informed the International Crisis Summit 6 in Tokyo. Naming the key players involved in implementing the plan over the last 50 years, she provided an overview of the UN’s “sustainable development” plan and what its goals are.

Orwellian Society

To Our Culture, Convenience and Entertainment Outrank Freedom. Our culture is about to embrace technology that will eventually be used to control, deceive, and lead people away from truth, all in the name of convenience and entertainment. Have you heard of the new Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses? Two Harvard University students were able to hack strangers’ information by wearing these glasses and looking at them. The danger here is that someone can hack your personal information stored in AI data, such as your phone numbers, home addresses, or even your social security number. Once this technology is accepted by the public, the powers that be will easily lead us into the next stage.

Plague, Pestilence, and Plandemics

Whooping cough (pertussis) cases up more than 340% over this time last year.

Wars and Rumors of Wars

Russia aided Houthis in targeting global shipping, disrupting trade.

US bombers struck Yemen weapons facilities controlled by Houthi forces on Oct. 17. For over a year, Iran-backed Houthis have attacked U.S. and international vessels transiting one of the world’s most critical waterways. These U.S. strikes were to degrade their capabilities.

Iranian Plot Confirmed in Failed Assassination Attempt on Netanyahu. Netanyahu and his wife escaped assassination when a Hezbollah drone struck the bedroom window of his seaside residence in Caesarea. They weren’t home at the time. The brazen attack on Oct. 19 is linked to Iranian operatives, marking a dangerous escalation in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah.

Netanyahu promises retaliation after assassination attempt by Hezbollah. Netanyahu said, “Two days ago, we took out Sinwar, the terrorist mastermind whose goons beheaded our men, raped our women, and burned our babies alive. We took him out, and we’re continuing to battle with Iran’s other terrorist proxies.” A barrage of at least 115 projectiles was fired from Lebanon into northern Israel on the same day.

Iran prepares military for war, threatens retaliation if Israel strikes leaders, hits oil or nuclear facilities. Israeli officials deny US leaks pushed back strikes against Iran. Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei ordered his military forces to prepare several options for how to respond if Israel attacks Iran while also signaling that Iran could choose to view the exchange as ended if Israel’s strike didn’t cross certain red lines.

Israel strikes Iran as payback for missile attack, risking escalation of Mideast wars. Israel pounded Iran on Saturday with a series of airstrikes, saying it was targeting military sites in retaliation for the barrage of ballistic missiles the Islamic Republic fired upon Israel earlier in October.

Israel Continued to Hit Iran with Additional Waves of Strikes during early morning hours on Saturday. The strikes appeared to have offered Iran an offramp instead of forcing the conflict to escalate. Israel seems to have limited its strikes to military targets rather than nuclear or oil infrastructure.

Concluding Scripture

Jesus said, “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also…. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (John 14:1-3, 27).
