Matthew 24:3-31, Mark 13:3-27, Luke 21:7-30,1 Thessalonians 4:13-18,1 Corinthians 15:51-58 Summary: Mark 13, Matthew 24, and Luke 21 are all dedicated to the prophetic warning given by the Lord Jesus to His disciples as to what to expect regarding the spread of the Gospel and the increasing evil of the world. Apostate Judaism has had its last chance. Jesus had finished with the Pharisees, Sadducees, and others who had challenged His authority, teachings, and miracles. He will again face them on the day of His crucifixion. He had shed tears over Jerusalem and had pronounced judgment upon it. The apostles...

Virginia’s governor-elect Glenn Youngkin says he won’t take action to prevent localities in the state from mandating the COVID jab or masks for their constituents.“Localities are going to have to make decisions the way the law works and that is going to be up to individual decisions but, again, from the governor’s office, you won’t see mandates from me,” he said during an interview over the weekend.The comments from Youngkin aren’t the first time the Virginia Republican has seemingly shied away from going on offense against vaccine coercion efforts. When twice asked by the moderator during the first gubernatorial debate...

White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters that the Biden administration has been in communication with local law enforcement in Kenosha, Wisconsin, of possible unrest following the verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse case. A jury of seven women and five men declared Rittenhouse, who was accused in the shooting deaths of two men on a night of riots and protests last year, not guilty on all five charges on Friday afternoon. The most serious charge would have carried a maximum sentence of life in prison. Psaki on Friday said that the White House “has been in close touch with...

Fox News host Tucker Carlson joined my radio program this week, and he had a lot to say on an array of subjects. We discussed the ratings success of his show and his methodology for preparing each episode (he shuts out social media, but is in touch with a large network of friends and sources via text). The topic of Carlson's self-identified flaws arose in the context of how he feels about his haters, especially those who toil endlessly to get him fired or forced off the air. In response to an outrageous anti-Fox smear from a progressive MSNBC opinion...

The verdict is in and the trial is over. Kyle Rittenhouse has been judged not guilty on all counts in connection to the shooting in Kenosha, WI. As you might have expected, the left wasn’t too happy about the jury’s decision. At this very moment, the Twitterverse is full of hot takes from aggrieved, virtue-signaling leftists whining about how America is such a racist nation because it did not convict a man who clearly defended himself from three aggressors. Here are some gems for your viewing pleasure. Voto Latino, a left-wing activist organization ostensibly dedicated to “empowering a new generation...

President Biden's Build Back Better plan is somewhat in flux, but as of this writing it looks as though it is likely to include a loophole which would be highly beneficial to wealthy people in high tax states. What light can the Bible shed on policies like this? First, let's deal with the problem of hyper-spirituality among some Christians. This problem limits God's authority in advance, telling Him which topics He's allowed to talk about in the Bible. In this view, salvation, personal devotion, evangelism, church life, family life, sexual morality are Christian topics. But budgeting, taxation, finance, wealth, poverty,...

... police departments are preparing behind the scenes for what could be a weekend of chaos Sergeant Betsy Brantner Smith, a retired 20 year veteran, said violence is 'likely' and it may start tonight The fact the verdict came in on a Friday means more people are likely to protest because they aren't at work It also came in late so it will be darker sooner in much of the country than it was in August last year She said forces must use a zero tolerance policy but that local, state and federal leaders need to urge calm too

↑Chuck Schumer, back in January, 2017, gave the game away as to who or what actually runs this country. It is in fact, per Schumer, the intelligence agencies; why? Because, “they have six ways from Sunday to get back at you.” For context, he was referring to some perceived slight from a comment President-elect Trump had made about the IC. Let’s recall that, under the perverse penguin, John Brennan, the CIA actively spied on the Senate committee charged with its oversight. To date, if anything of consequence was done as a response, it has not been made public. What Schumer...

Today’s verdict is a stain on the soul of America, & sends a dangerous message about who & what values our justice system was designed to protectWe must stand unified in rejecting supremacist vigilantism & with one voice say: this is not who we are

The Eric Clapton we loved, whose new album is as good as anything he’s ever done, is dead to us, basically. Clapton has doubled down on his anti-vaccine madness and thrown in with Robert K. Kennedy, Jr. Kennedy, a misery to his family– they’ve all criticized him– maintains a loud anti-vaccine campaign himself. Despite suffering from Parkinson’s Disease, Kennedy is anti-public health. His dead uncle, Senator Edward M. Kennedy, who fought for decades for universal health insurance, must be throwing up in heaven. Clapton has now allowed himself to be interviewed by Kennedy and featured on his website. Clapton tells...

Florida resident Bettina Lerman, 69, who was not vaccinated, was visiting Maine with her son Andrew Lerman to help care for his cancer-stricken father, who also contracted COVID-19 but has recovered, CNN reported.

The Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms and the right to bear arms is what has really been on trial in the Kyle Rittemhouse proceedings in Kenosha, Wisconsin. His use of that “giant gun”, as the lib cable media describes his AR-15, to defend himself has been on trial, not the rioting, looting, burning and killing that has occurred in the BLM/Antifa riots that ravaged the nation in 2020’s “mostly peaceful” protests. That he successfully defended himself with that AR-15 against a less than stellar cast of pursuing attempted murderers that were part of a raging mob of...

During the Kyle Rittenhouse trial the prosecutors referred to those shot and/or wounded by Rittenhouse as a “crowd full of heroes.” Protesters outside the Court house referred to those shot as “selfless heroes.” Let’s have a look at those “heroes.” Caige Grosskreutz On Aug. 16, 2020, just days before the Rittenhouse shootings, he was arrested by cops in West Allis for allegedly “prowling” when he was nabbed videotaping police vehicles in a police department parking lot around 1 a.m....

A Penn State student and former high school cheerleader fell 11 stories to her death in a trash chute — after allegedly having a bad reaction to a “smoke.” The body of 19-year-old Justine Gross of Summit, NJ, was discovered last week when a trash hauler emptied its load at a Pennsylvania landfill, her mother told NJ.com on Thursday. Francoise Gross said her daughter, a communications sophomore at the school in State College, Pa., ended up plunging from the chute into a dumpster where she lived at the Beaver Terrace Apartments about a block from campus.

Republican lawmakers are demanding that President Joe Biden apologize to Kyle Rittenhouse for linking him to white supremacism following a Wisconsin jury's not-guilty verdict Friday. 'Joe Biden needs to publicly apologize to Kyle Rittenhouse,' said Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.). Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson championed the verdict. 'I believe justice has been served in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. I hope everyone can accept the verdict, remain peaceful, and let the community of Kenosha heal and rebuild,' he tweeted.

Where do you go to get your reputation back? Kyle Rittenhouse may be justified in asking that question after he was found not guilty on all charges in the shooting of three men in Kenosha, Wisconsin on August 25, 2020. If one had listened to some of the most prominent voices on America's political left over the last 15 months, they may -- understandably -- be shocked by the jury's decision. Because that's not the story that they were told.

Friday in reaction to a Wisconsin jury finding Kyle Rittenhouse not guilty on charges in the fatal shooting of two people during rioting last year in Kenosha, MSNBC “MTP Daily” host Chuck Todd warned that “gun owners with a certain ideology may feel incentivized now, may feel even emboldened.” Todd questioned if the Rittenhouse verdict sends an “uncomfortable message” to gun owners that they could kill someone in future protests and then claim self-defense.

Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Anthony Fauci said Thursday that though he "can't guarantee it," babies and toddlers aged 6 months to 5 years could be eligible for COVID-19 vaccination by spring. "Hopefully within a reasonably short period of time, likely the beginning of next year in 2022, in the first quarter of 2022, it will be available to them," Fauci told Insider in an interview, though he cautioned that he was speculating, adding, "you've got to do the clinical trial." Pfizer-BioNTech previously stated that results from their clinical trial in children in the age...
