Minnesota: Proposed standards ask teachers to make students’ agents of social change.’ It’s politically and ideologically biased, not academic. Of course, it promotes the gay/trans agenda.

Victoria, Australia: Failing to affirm a person’s chosen gender now illegal; Long jail terms and hefty fines imposed.

Liberals Want to Defy US Constitution. Many on the left continue to attack our founding governmental document. New York Times article: two Ivy League law professors say Congress could “openly defy” the Constitution with the basic structure of government “decided by the present electorate…” “… this would make clear our ability to engage in the constant reinvention of our society under our own power…”

How tyrants and lunatics are enslaving Americans by redefining everything. Greatest and freest nation in history now almost completely controlled by lying, power-mad sociopaths with contempt for America, its history, Constitution, Judeo-Christian culture, and people. They’re successfully waging an insane Marxist revolution.

DELIBERATE BORDER DISORDER

4.9 Million Illegal Aliens Crossed US Border Since Biden Took Office. His regime is running ‘world’s epicenter’ of child trafficking due to open borders agenda.

China Working with Mexican Cartels to Get Fentanyl to US. Now they’re making it look like rainbow candy!

New Yorkers, you’re on your own. Unless you’re a migrant. New York is rife with crime and instability while droves of migrants receive free healthcare coverage, food, other supplies, even free phones. The Biden border crisis has been devastating to border states. Earlier this summer, Texas’ frustrated governor began sending busloads of migrants to DC and New York City.

WEATHER EVENTS

We keep hearing of once in 500, 1,000, even 1,200-year events. But it doesn’t make sense.  See this week’s Rapture Ready’s Nearing Midnight article by Todd Strandberg titled “More 1,000-Year Floods.”

6 rare ‘1,000-year’ rain events within a month? The report says, “As climate change increases frequency and intensity of heavy rainfall events in the US, NOAA may soon update its thresholds for what constitutes a 1,000-year rain event.“

Increasing in intensity and frequency? Where have we heard that before? Jesus gave the signs that would converge and increase in frequency and intensity (birth pains) as His near return approached. “All these are the beginning of birth pains [sorrows]” (Matthew 24:8). God is in control!

HATRED OF JEWS AND ISRAEL

‘ABC News’ Falsely Blames Israeli Airstrikes for All Gaza Fatalities during the recent outbreak of fighting. However, most were killed by Islamic Jihad rockets that went off course. Other lamestream media downplayed Islamic Jihad’s involvement.

ISLAMIC TERRORISM

Afghanistan: Former US Marine speaks out about Kabul Airport blast that killed 13 American service members a year ago. The suicide bomber was spotted for two days until the blast, but the military wasn’t allowed to kill him. There was even a countdown in the hour before the blast. The Taliban laughed afterward.

WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS

US military launched second set of strikes against Iranian-backed fighters in Syria less than 24 hours in direct response to attack on a compound housing US troops. Three US service members were injured.

US Alerts Americans Still in Ukraine to ‘Leave Immediately’ Ahead of Expanded Russian Strikes.

Netanyahu said signing new Iran nuclear deal is madness, even worse than the first one; it will pave Iran’s path with gold to a nuclear arsenal. US Senator Ted Cruz said the nuclear deal is designed to let the Ayatollah cheat his way to a nuclear arsenal.

The world is leaving Israel on its own against Iran. This doesn’t surprise those who study Bible prophecy. A few nations (Ezekiel 38:13) will question the Russian-Arab coalition’s invasion but will do nothing to help Israel (Ezekiel 38:13). God alone will destroy the vast army of invaders. He will use this to turn Israel back to Him during the Tribulation. “Surely it is coming, and it shall be done,’ says the Lord God. ‘This is the day of which I have spoken'” (Ezekiel 39:8).

DEMONIC DELUSION

Congress Says UFOs Not ‘Man-Made,’ Says ‘Threats’ Increasing ‘Exponentially.’ Those who’ve heard the gospel of Christ and rejected it will be sent a strong delusion in the Tribulation so that they would believe the lie. Given the strong promotion these days of UFO threats, this seems likely to be part of the delusion. Read 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12.

The Thessalonians were worried by false reports that they’d missed the rapture. Paul explained to them:

“Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him [the rapture], That ye be not soon shaken in mind… that the day of Christ is at hand [the Tribulation] … for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition … Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

“For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way [removal of the restraining power of the Holy Spirit, also believers in Christ as Savior since they have the Holy Spirit in them]. And then shall that Wicked be revealed … with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

 

In the Midst of a Crooked and Perverse Generation

The Apostle Paul said that in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, brethren in Christ are to be shining lights in the world (Philippians 2:15). He also said “have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove [rebuke; expose] them” (Ephesians 5:11).

APOSTASY IN THE CHURCHES AND DOCTRINES OF DEMONS

Hot Pagan Nights of August. They’re naming heat waves – this one “Zoe,” which was how assimilated Jews in Egypt rendered “Eve,” meaning mother of all life. Postmoderns think they’re too wise to believe in the Bible and God creating the world. But people with nothing to believe in must turn to something. Global warming is the old pagan climate religions: worship of created things rather than the Creator.

Episcopal Church support “gender-affirming care” of any type and for any age, including children.

Evangelical Lutheran Church in America approved proposal to possibly remove a statement that respects conscience of members who oppose same-sex marriage.

Southern Baptist Convention: Justice Department investigating SBC over clergy sex abuse. SBC hired an outside organization months ago to investigate claims of 20 years of sex abuse and mishandling cases; it secretly maintained a list of several hundred clergy and other church workers accused of sex abuse. SBC released the list, but now DOJ is investigating. [Research shows reports about this first showed up in 2019.] Some reports claim DOJ is doing this to persecute the church and that the current regime’s hiring of 87,000 more IRS agents will also be used to persecute the church. However, this is not to defend the SBC. How far churches have fallen in these last days!

School board in North Dakota stopped saying Pledge of Allegiance before meetings, claiming mention of “God” runs contrary to principles of diversity, equity, & inclusion.

UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development has determined that for the planet to survive, we need to start eating insects & cricket flour. No doubt, Godless, nature-worshiping, totalitarian government elites will have people eating rats and roaches while they eat steak and lobster.

PLAGUE/PESTILENCE…

1st suspected case of human-to-dog monkeypox transmission. The case in France involves two gay males who live together and also have sex with others. They showed symptoms a few days after sleeping with others. 12 days later, their dog that slept beside them tested positive.

Experts now say Monkeypox Spread is fueled by Gay Sex Between Men (oral & anal), not skin-to-skin contact. The claim that skin-to-skin contact during sex between men instead of intercourse drives most monkeypox transmission is likely backward, a growing group of experts say. Yet a dog owned by two gay men caught it, and 9 children have been diagnosed. Hmm... 9th child in US tests positive. In the latest child case, “We have a known connection to a previously diagnosed case. This child did not get the virus at school, child care or another community setting.”

Unlike the rabies shot, COVID shot’s adverse events are not being investigated.

LAST DAYS TRAITORS

14 FBI whistleblowers have come forward. It’s the top that’s the problem. The issue is weaponization of federal gov’t’s law enforcement. Under Obama, IRS openly targeted conservative and Christian organizations. Dems, DOJ and FBI worked together to fabricate “Russiagate” claims against candidate Trump.

CONCLUDING SCRIPTURE

“For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light… Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is” (Ephesians 5:8-17).
