One, following the signing of the normalization agreement between the UAE and Israel, it was reported that the U.S. will sell F-35 stealth jets to the UAE.
Critics contend that this will endanger Israel by reducing its military edge over its enemies.
It has been reported that the U.S. has not signed an agreement to sell the jets to the UAE, but there is a plan to sign an agreement with the UAE on Dec. 2, 2020.
It is impossible to predict what will be in that agreement, but because the U.S. has signed contracts to sell the F-35 Jets to other nations (Israel and Poland), the U.S. expects it to take a 6-7 years to get the UAE planes off the production lines.
The idea of a potential agreement tied to a peace treaty with a 7-year timetable is stirring speculation about the future 7-year covenant with many.
Two, concerning world government, on Sept. 22, 2020, French Pres. Macron told the UN General Assembly that France wants “a new era of globalization.”
He said, “We must together lay the foundations for a fairer, more balanced, more equitable, more sustainable globalization.”
Three, On Sept. 23, 2020, Roman Catholic Archbishop Carlo Vigano offered a letter to the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast that said the outcome of the presidential elections in November “will be decisive not only for the United States of America but for the whole world.”
The Archbishop believes the election is a war between American citizens and the demonic forces of the deep state and against the New World Order” (world government; people like French Pres. Macron; Henry Kissinger and George Soros).
Four, last week my article mentioned that Elon Musk has been authorized to put 12,000 satellites (and he wants to up it to 40,000) into orbit to make high-speed Internet and TV service available everywhere on earth.
The article pointed out that this will allow the Antichrist and False Prophet to track all buying and selling, for everyone on earth to see the bodies of the Two Witnesses laying in the street and to see them raised from the dead (Rev. 11).
An astute reader reminded me that this will also allow everyone on earth to see the Second Coming of Jesus (Rev. 1:7).
The writer said, “As I understand it, global satellite internet access will be available in the US to the northern states this year, and it will be available globally by 2025.”
Here is a link to some interesting information about these satellite launches.

Five, Amazon has installed hand scanners at two of its Seattle, WA. stores that reads palms, lets people enter, and allows customers to buy products by scanning their hand.
Amazon believes their hand scan technology will allow people to make purchases in other places, and they expect to install scanners at some of their other stores in the coming months.
Six, on Sept. 24, 2020, it was reported that Arab contributions to the PA have been zero since March and foreign aid contributions have been half of what they were last year.
Overall, Arab gifts and Foreign Aid to the PA are down 85%.
The PA is borrowing money and seeking funding from other sources.
This could ultimately lead to war and/or the worthless 7-year covenant.
Seven, concerning the days of Noah (specifically wickedness or lawlessness), on Sept. 20, 2020, US Att. Gen. William Barr designated NY City, Portland, Ore. and Seattle, Wash. as “Anarchist Jurisdictions” that will lose federal funding for impeding law enforcement, defunding the police, tolerating violence, endangering innocent citizens, etc.
These cities are expected to fight this in court.
Eight, on Sept. 22, 2020, it was reported that billionaire Michael Bloomberg, former candidate for the Democrat nomination for Pres. of the U.S., is likely to be the subject of a potential criminal investigation for paying the fines and restitutions of about 32,000 felons who are mostly black in Florida so they can vote in the upcoming election.
Data shows that 90-95% of the black voters in Florida vote for Democrats, and there is concern that Bloomberg has raised more than $16 million to illegally buy black votes in Florida.
Bloomberg is calling this a political ploy.
This comes on top of earlier reports that NY Democrat Mayor de Blasio’s daughter was arrested with people that rioted there and that 13 members of Democrat Pres. nominee Joe Biden’s staff took up an offering to bail out protesters.
It has also been reported that Chelsea Clinton Mezvinsky (Bill and Hillary’s daughter) has bragged about bailing out protesters.
And in the late of night on Sept. 24, 2020, 24 people, including Democrat State Representative Attica Scott, were arrested in Louisville, Ky (where 2 police were shot) for unlawful assembly, failure to disperse, and rioting in the first degree by allegedly breaking windows, damaging busses and trying to set fires.
At least one bailed out criminal is already being accused of committing murder.
If our nation elects leaders that tolerate or participate in illegal or corrupt activity, our nation will reap the consequences of their leadership.
Nine, on Sept. 23, 2020, two U.S. Senate committees (the Homeland Security Committee and the Senate Finance Committee) issued a joint report titled “Hunter Biden, Burisma and Corruption.”
The most damning evidence came from the files of Pres. Obama, Vice-Pres Joe Biden, the U.S. Treasury Dept., and e-mails sent by John Kerry whose stepson was one of Hunter Biden’s business partners.
According to the report, Hunter Biden and another business partner, Devon Archer, received more than $4 million dollars from a corrupt energy company in Ukraine named Burisma – plus Biden, his family and Archer received millions more from foreign nationals of questionable character.
The report shows potential criminal activity; possible ties to sex-traffickers and Russians; silencing of concerned government officials; a major coverup by Obama, Biden, and Kerry; and that the House impeachment of Pres. Trump and charges of Russian collusion were part of the effort to keep this information from the public.
It has been reported that these things are in addition to Biden’s China connections, this was just a partial report, and more is coming.
Ten, Los Angeles, County Cal. is trying to send Dr. John MacArthur to prison on contempt of court charges for defying an order to limit worship services at Grace Community Church.
The judge presiding over the case has ruled that the case can go to trial.
This could well wind up in the U.S. Supreme Court, and the beliefs of the U.S. Supreme Court Judges and the importance of the U.S. Constitution could very well impact religious freedom in the U.S.
Eleven, Pres. Trump has nominated Amy Coney Barrett to replace justice Ginsburg on the U.S. Supreme Court.
Barrett has a long history of supporting the U.S. Constitution.
Democrats are calling her a threat to the U.S.
As far as I am concerned, Amy Coney Barrett is not the real threat to the U.S.
The real threat to the U.S. includes trying to remove all mentions of God from our society; trying to lockdown churches; trying to force the LGBTQ agenda on everyone; abortion; bailing arsonists, looters and killers out of jail; defunding the police; including the Muslim terrorist group CAIR in the U.S. government (as Obama and Biden did and Biden seems to be supporting again); disarming U.S. citizens; transforming the U.S. into a socialist nation; surrendering the sovereignty of the U.S. to a world government and an anti-Christ world religion; and more.
I expect things to get worse by the day as the Tribulation Period nears, but it never occurred to me that politicians would openly support things like this.
There is no doubt that we are getting closer to the Rapture by the day.
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.

Four and Twenty Elders
This essay is about what I believe to be the most compelling reason to believe in a pre tribulation Rapture gathering of the Body of Believers in Christ, The One True Church ( Matthew 16:18 )gathered to Christ in the air and returned to The Father's House. ( John 14; 1 ; Thessalonians 4:13-17 )
If we are seeing this accurately, the gathering unto Him event is very close, since the gathering unto Him happens before the Tribulation begins and assumes a period of business in Heaven before the final judgments begin with the opening of the seven sealed scroll. ( Revelation 5:5 and following ))
For those who have not yet believed in Jesus, time is short, very short. Don't continue to wonder and ponder and not make a choice. Choose you this day life in Him and don't be left behind for the horrors which will follow Him gathering those who believe in Whom God sent for their salvation. ( John 6:29 )
Most Christians believe The word of God teaches a Gathering unto Christ, because Jesus introduced the notion in John chapter fourteen. To those who believe the event will happen the issue filters down to 'when', as in before the Tribulation, during the Tribulation, or after the Tribulation (this is not about the specific day or hour).
There are those who call themselves and believe themselves to be Christian who reject the notion of a Rapture. So be it with them, I pray for them and pray earnestly that this essay might be of help for them, also.
If we can show that the Body of Christ, the Ekklesia, The Church per se is in Heaven when the seven sealed scroll is opened by Christ ushering in the Tribulation Time of Jacob's Troubles, there is no further argument on the when for the Rapture. Please follow along as we point to clues from The Word of God which take our presence in Heaven at the opening of the seals as axiomatic, a notion fundamental to the scene.
In 1st Chronicles 24 and following David identifies a category of priesthood involving many families from whom the duty as priests for the Temple work will activate. Though the Temple is not yet built, these are the category identified as the four and twenty elders. This is a category identity since the numbers are well beyond a mere twenty-four individuals and refers to the rotating priesthood of Temple workers drawn from many families named in the passages there in 1st Chronicles.
If these four and twenty elders are a category representation applied later to The Body of Christ in Christianity, there should be many clues in the New Testament which point to this conclusion. And there are! First, let's see how The Spirit had John the Revelator depict them:
Revelation 4:4
And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
For the readers' context, read Revelation chapters four and five from the beginning as John is suddenly in Heaven in the spirit ... he had not yet received his new body. Note please the identifying points of four and twenty, seated in the Presence of God ( Angels always stand in God's Presence ), clothed in white raiment ( the garb of the redeemed ), and they had gold crowns on their physical heads not spiritual heads ( they had heads, so these are not Tribulation saints who lose their heads during the Tribulation and before ) .
The scholarly question arises 'who are these 'twenty four'; do they represent specific men numbering twenty four ? I am convinced these twenty four represent a category of people numbering much more than twenty four, and I come to this conclusion as follows.
In 1st Chronicles the four and twenty elders represent a vast category of men who will be identified as priesthood serving the Temple work. These twenty-four seen by John are not twelve from the Hebrew patriarchy because the resurrection of the Jews comes at the end of the Tribulation, at the establishing of the millenial Kingdom with Jerusalem as the center of the Earth's nations.
During the Church Age / Age of the Ekklesia there is no differentiation of Jew and Gentile under The Gospel of Christ establishing of the Body of Christ Believers. The twenty four are not specific Apostles since John would be looking at his resurrected body which will have God's Spirit indwelling for eternity and John is still alive in his old body when the Spirit reveals the scene to him.
So next we address the clues fonud in the New Testament and in the Revelation to John which support the notion that the four and twenty elders represent The Body of Believers who have received their new bodies and rewards crowns at the Bema Seat of Christ.
A major clue is the seated position in the Presence of God in Heaven.
Ephesians 2:4-6
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:Mathew 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. [Note the saying twelve thrones does not omit the other twelve thrones for some different category, it addresses directly the positional status of these specific twelve among the four and twenty]
Another clue as to the status of the four and twenty elders is found early in the Revelation:
Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever.Revelation 5: 8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. 9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
Please note that scene -when the Lamb takes the scroll- is in Heaven happening before the seals are opened ushering in the Tribulation, and attended by the category identified as those whom Jesus has redeemed out of every kindred and tongue, and people and nation. This is the more personal identity of the category of four and twenty elders.
This category of The Redeemed are witness to the lamb being worthy AND before He begins to open the seven seal scroll.
The four and twenty elders are a category identified as those The slain Lamb has redeemed from the whole world through their faith alone in Christ alone, They are seated in God's Presence in Heaven. They have white raiment of the redeemed and crowns on real physical heads, crowns which they cast down at the feet of Him Who opens the seven sealed scroll. Folks, Christians,
ALL Christians since the day of Pentecost preaching by Peter and the internalizing of the Holy Spirit are gathered in Heaven before the seven sealed scroll which ushers in the tribulation is even opened. The Rapture Gathering unto Him is very very close, with the tribulation, the opening of the scroll to follow after that super natural event of His Church snatched out of this world.
....Elon Musk has been authorized to put 12,000 satellites (and he wants to up it to 40,000) into orbit to make high-speed Internet and TV service available everywhere on earth....
This will disrupt Earth-based astronomy and should NOT be allowed!!!!
When Christ returns, He will have NO problem making His Presence known. He does NOT need globalist billionaires’ technology! He gives Grace to the humble!!!!
I would add that there is nothing you can do to save yourself. We are abject sinners that need a Savior. We must recognize the utter depravity of the human condition and that we need Jesus’ actions on the cross and the Resurrection to make the payment for our sins. Justice must be served and Jesus’ righteousness imputed to us is that payment.
Absolutely!
In John 6:28-29 He was asked point blank “works we must do” for God.
Our King’s response is genius and speaks volumes about works-based salvation theory. He had the opportunity to deliver an hour long lecture on what must be done, but He didn’t.
John 6:28-29
28 Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?”
29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”
The only cure for the sin disease is accepting Christ’s 100% free gift of salvation by his sacrifice on the cross for the propitiation of our sins.
Believe in Him as Savior, Believe that the Father raised Him from the dead on the 3rd Day, and call our to Jesus - all stated plainly in Romans 10:9-13.
Ah, Jesus won’t need the telecommunications process of men. The antichrist? Well he will need it.
Amen! Hear here ...
Amen.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
It’s hard to argue against these conclusions as we daily see this world growing further and further away from God and into the mindset where everyone just does whatever is good in their own eyes. It is shocking to observe all those things that are now considered mainstream where they once were seen as shameful and condemned. In the name of “freedom”, humanity has succumbed to the slavery of sin and evil - and they don’t/won’t/can’t even see it!
Amen to that
Correct
Excellent points!
If you read further, Jesus is talking about the Eucharist,read it all in context:
[26] Jesus answered them, and said: Amen, amen I say to you, you seek me, not because you have seen miracles, but because you did eat of the loaves, and were filled. [27] Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that which endureth unto life everlasting, which the Son of man will give you. For him hath God, the Father, sealed. [28] They said therefore unto him: What shall we do, that we may work the works of God? [29] Jesus answered, and said to them: This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he hath sent. [30] They said therefore to him: What sign therefore dost thou shew, that we may see, and may believe thee? What dost thou work?
[31] Our fathers did eat manna in the desert, as it is written: He gave them bread from heaven to eat. [32] Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say to you; Moses gave you not bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. [33] For the bread of God is that which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world. [34] They said therefore unto him: Lord, give us always this bread. [35] And Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger: and he that believeth in me shall never thirst.
[36] But I said unto you, that you also have seen me, and you believe not. [37] All that the Father giveth to me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me, I will not cast out. [38] Because I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me. [39] Now this is the will of the Father who sent me: that of all that he hath given me, I should lose nothing; but should raise it up again in the last day. [40] And this is the will of my Father that sent me: that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth in him, may have life everlasting, and I will raise him up in the last day.
[41] The Jews therefore murmured at him, because he had said: I am the living bread which came down from heaven. [42] And they said: Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then saith he, I came down from heaven? [43] Jesus therefore answered, and said to them: Murmur not among yourselves. [44] No man can come to me, except the Father, who hath sent me, draw him; and I will raise him up in the last day. [45] It is written in the prophets: And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard of the Father, and hath learned, cometh to me.
[44] “Draw him”: Not by compulsion, nor by laying the free will under any necessity, but by the strong and sweet motions of his heavenly grace.
[46] Not that any man hath seen the Father; but he who is of God, he hath seen the Father. [47] Amen, amen I say unto you: He that believeth in me, hath everlasting life. [48] I am the bread of life. [49] Your fathers did eat manna in the desert, and are dead. [50] This is the bread which cometh down from heaven; that if any man eat of it, he may not die.
[51] I am the living bread which came down from heaven. [52] If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, for the life of the world. [53] The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat? [54] Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. [55] He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.
That’s correct!
There is a direct correlation between the sin of humanity and how well societies can sustain themselves.
Wanna have a big gov’t endorsed orgy?
Feed people with no incentive to work?
Kill the innocent without justice?
Murder babies in the womb?
Good luck with your weather, power grid, food supply, economy, and last but not least - the enemies inside and outside your border.
Hmmm..
That is a mighty Catholic conclusion there.
One has absolutely nothing to do with the other.
But, you can try to “show you your sense” if you wish....
That is the Pelasgian view or the Buddhist view (in a way) that one might say.
Paul's admonitions that
It is clear that we cannot save ourselves - we receive the freely given redemption from the Lord and we are justified by our acting in accordance with the Lord to receive our salvation upon death.
He will do the same miracle in you, if you will only trust His Promise to make you immediately born again, born from above, not your striving. I warn you thhough, time is short.
Your opinion does not match the facts. Jesus plainly tells them they must eat His flesh and drink His blood. He even prefaces it with Amen, Amen, I say to you...He is not kidding.
I recommend you read “Honey from the Rock” compiled by Roy Schoeman. Every one of the testimonies of Jewish converts to Catholicism centers on the Eucharist. Their words are better than anything I can come up with.
It’s not their words either. It is the Holy Spirit speaking.
God will grant you eternal life as Paul wrote in Romans 2:5 "By your stubbornness and impenitent heart, you are storing up wrath for yourself for the day of wrath and revelation of the just judgment of God, who will repay everyone according to his works:[a] 7 eternal life to those who seek glory, honor, and immortality through perseverance in good works
So as it is written clearly you will be repaid according to your good works -- but CLEARLY NOTE -- this is about "repayment" or justification, not about redemption (which is already freely available thanks to Christ's one time redemptory action)
