Pompeo Urges Americans Abroad To Return Home Immediately

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said it’s unknown how long flights from other countries will continue operating, so Americans abroad who wish to return should do so immediately.

Pompeo warned that the window to bring Americans home from abroad could be closing.

Pompeo said more than 26,000 U.S. citizens from more than 50 countries have been repatriated back to the U.S.

The top diplomat said the repatriation task force remains committed to bringing all Americans home.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is urging Americans who are still abroad and wish to return to the United States to do so “immediately,” as commercial and government-chartered flights could soon stop due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“Americans who wish to return home from abroad should do so immediately and make arrangements to accomplish that,” Pompeo said during a Tuesday briefing.

Pompeo said his repatriation task force is committed to bringing all U.S. citizens home, but cautioned that the window to do so is becoming more narrow.

“We do not know how long the commercial flights in your countries may continue to operate,” he said. “We can’t guarantee the U.S. government’s ability to arrange charter flights indefinitely where commercial options no longer exist.”

I always receive a lot of insight by simply accepting traditions as fact, *meaning* that even if a date or teaching can't be confirmed objectively as fact, or even if it contradicts absolute proof, it's an unquestioned *fact* that certain traditions are what they are.

Christians celebrate Jesus' birthday on Dec. 25th, regardless of the actual date of birth. That's a fact.

The Western calendar is a system based on Christ's birthday as the starting point, even though the actual date is not known, or regardless of how many proposed birth dates are out there, or who's right, or even if none of them are correct. "AD" - MMXX - it's just what it is.

So when I take the *fact* that the day celebrated as Annunciation Day is March 25th and Christmas follows 9 months later...

One of the dates that determine the birth of Christ at Dec. 25 is Annunciation Day which is on March 25. 9 months between those two dates.

... and that in March 2020 a weird "corona" virus started keeping people around the world at home with nothing better to do, such that baby boom jokes abound...

... and that the traditional imagery of baby Jesus portrays him (as well as his parents) with a halo, basically a corona...

(Astronomical sense of "luminous circle observed around the sun during total eclipses"..)

... and that the family had to make the best of it alone by themselves, repurposing a manger into a bassinet (how about that Joseph... talk about cobbling together a solution on the fly), because everywhere else they went, the people were gathered thick together...

... and that the NT describes Jesus as the special son conceived a different way than the rest of humanity, the one who shows the way (demonstrating and teaching by example) so people can emulate him (see and do)...

Then "AD" 9 months after a little corona starts stealthy seeding itself everywhere and...

Corona-babies will start popping out at the Christmas season.

A large % of the planet - regardless of religious beliefs - is aware of the literal, factual existence of the imagery that is associated with Dec 25th:

Talk about timing. Oh and it's the year of the census. You can't make this stuff up. Epic coordination. The weird is the "tell" that's it's all under control. God's got this, even messaging by way of famous movie quotes, such as Oddball (played by a famous actor named Donald) saying,

"Have a little faith, Baby. Have a little faith."

An important message to remain focused on, considering:

Luke 21:23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

When no one has a job (or cash, or hope) anymore is the time to test who has the patience of Job:

Matthew 24

12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

BTW, Job's name: איוב

= 19.

Isaiah 40:3
The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

Which is also translated with the comma in another place:

Isaiah 40:3
A voice cries, Prepare in the wilderness the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God:

"Beacon" of hope: bacon.

There's already a meme for that! "Please don't die."
