"Are You Woke To The Days We're Living In?"

In his classic book Escape The Coming Night, David Jeremiah wrote:

"Jesus told the disiples that before He returned, the earth would be as it was "in the days of Noah". While Noah was building the ark on dry land, his neighbors were laughing at what they believed were the efforts of a madman. They really didn't care what that family of religious fanatics did, because the people's lives were so evil and self-centered that God's warnings were ignored...In the days before the flood, people were looking out for number one, until that final hour when the Noah family and their animal friends entered the ark. When the flood came, the remaining citizens of earth had no dry ground or life rafts to rescue them. With thrir last drowning breath, it was too late to ask God for mercy."

Jesus and the prophets warned us of all the signs to watch for signaling that the time of the final judgment is near. Those signs are here right now, but as in the days of Noah,the warning is falling on deaf ears.

Why? Because let's face it,gang-it's hard to believe. Nothing like it has ever happened before, at least not since the days of Noah. The people of Noah's time didn't believe in Noah's warning because they had never experienced rain before-let alone a flood.

The Bible says,

"...that in the last days there will be scoffers who will laugh at the truth and do every evil thing they desire. This will be their argument: Jesus promised to come back did He? Then where is He? Why as far back as anyone can remember,everything has remained exactly the same since the world was first created" (2 PETER 3:3-4).

According to Greg Laurie, of Harvest Christian Fellowship,

 "The scoffers in this passage mistook Christ's delayed return to earth to mean that there would be no final judgment at all. They not only doubted Christ's return but forgot about God's judgment in the past. More importantly, those scoffers overlooked God's love and mercy. It is for their sake that God is restraining His judgment because "He is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance" (2 PETER 3:9).

God will surely accomplish His purposes and promises, even though it may appear that He is slow in doing so. Someday our time here on earth will be up, either through death or the Rapture of the Church.

What happens to us after that? Depends on what we do now.

A wiseman once said: "No one can deny that the world is in trouble. Tragedy stalks our streets. Violence and bloodshed fill the news. Today's political debates spotlight the deep and bitter divsion in a society that often seems to be coming apart at the seams. How do we explain so much chaos? Jesus said there would be days like this".  -David Jeremiah, author

"Everything I prophesid has come true, and now I will prophesy agaim. I will tell you the future before it happens" (ISAIAH 42:9). 

"He will bring salvation to all those who are eagerly waiting for Him" (HEBREWS 9:28).

"Look I am coming soon!" (REVELATION 22:7).

"Cash Won't Last"

New cases of COVID isn't the only thing spiking these days.

"Across the globe, COVID-19 is fueling the rise of the cashless economy as employees and consumers alike worry that the direct handling of paper currency could spread the coronavirus," reports Bloomberg News.

Despite the fact that medical and public health experts say there is little data to support this concern, (as long as we wash our hands), many stores will no longer accept cash, especially in Europe.

For instance, in the U.K., the consumer watchdog group "Which?" reported that 1-in-10 people were refused service at shops trying to pay with physical money during the lockdown.

In the U.S., Lululemon & Nordstrom will go completely cash-free when they reopen, while Starbucks plans to "shift toward a more cashless experience," according to their CEO. Even U.S. casinos are leaning toward digital payment options, along with Pizza Hut, Whole Foods, Living Spaces and scores of other brand-name stores.

"And while not all small and midsize businesses have gone cash-free," according to Bloomberg News, "many are pushing card and contactless payments."

Though we're not expecting the world to go cashless overnight, it does appear the pandemic has given this move a giant leap forward.

Why should we care? Because the Bible has predicted we'll go cashless in the End Times.

"The fact that the words of Revelation 13 were penned in the age of wood, stones, and swords, makes this prophecy one of the powerful proofs of the inspired nature and reliability of Gods' Word," declares Dr. Mark Hitchcock, prophecy expert.

"Who could have predicted the technology described in the Bible 2,000 years ago, except God?"

And who could have guessed at the beginning of 2020 how rapidly our world would change, except, you guessed it--God.

A wise man once said: "The Bible says there are things that we should look for that signal the last days and one of them is the scattering and regathering of the nation of Israel, which we know happened in 1948 when Israel was declared a nation. But the Bible also tells us, for instance, that there is going to be a cashless society. The Bible tells us that there is going to be global instability and excessive violence in the End Times. As we look around right now at the way the world is changing...I think maybe we are in the last hours..." -- Greg Laurie, Harvest Christian Fellowship

"You also must be ready all the time. For the Son of Man will come when least expected"  (MATTHEW 24:44).

"And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and the life is in His Son. So whoever has God's Son has life; whoever does not have His Son does not have life"  (1 JOHN: 5:11-12).

"Political Scientist's Prediction for 2020 Election"

Helmut Norpoth is at it again.

You remember him--the political science professor at Stony Brook University that has accurately predicted the winner of the last five presidential elections dating back to 1996.

Though a majority of polls begged to differ in the last presidential election, Norpoth--alone in his prediction--insisted Trump would win.

And against all odds (and every poll) Trump won.

So here we go again. Mediate.com is reporting that despite recent polls that identify Joe Biden as the heavy favorite in 2020, Professor Norpoth is doubling down on his Trump win prediction.

The political science professor believes his prediction, based on his "Primary Model", (which has been correct in every single election but two in the past 108 years) will again prove accurate.

"The Primary Model gives Trump a 91% chance of winning in November," Norpoth said. "This model gets it right for 25 of the 27 elections since 1912, when primaries were first introduced."

Norpoth's model examines presidential primary results as the strongest indicator, not the polls, and that puts Biden in a much weaker position than Trump according to this model.

"The terrain of presidential contests is littered with nominees who saw a poll lead in the spring turn to dust in the fall," Norpoth said.

Of course, as even Norpoth admits, Trump's primaries were held long before the devastation of the last few months.

Bottom line? The outcome of this election all depends on whether or not God is done with Donald Trump.

Romans 13:1 says, "Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God."

A wise man once said: "There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry, 'Mine!'"-- Abraham Kuyper, Dutch theologian

"I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. As you make your requests, plead for God's mercy upon them, and give thanks. Pray this way for kings and all others who are in authority, so that we can live in peace and quietness, in godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior, for He wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth" -- 1 TIMOTHY 2:1-4.

"Happiness At 50 Year Low"

Everyone wants to be happy--but according to a recent study--almost no one is.

Americans are more unhappy today than they've been in almost 50 years.

This survey, funded by the National Science Foundation, and conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago, found that only 14% of American adults identify as being very happy.

That's an all-time low in a study that's been collecting data on American attitudes and behaviors since 1972.

And get this--most of the survey's interviews were completed last month before any of the following had even happened:

• the murder of George Floyd that touched off nationwide rage
• the riots/looting and anarchy that followed
• the demands to defund or even abolish the police
• the full economic impact of 44 million job losses
• the bankrupting of millions of small/medium -sized businesses

That's right people, this survey was completed back in the day when our biggest problem was dodging the virus and even then we saw a massive surge in suicide, alcohol and drug abuse.

If we've learned anything from the past few weeks and months it is this--happiness is fragile. And while none of us  knows how long this current crisis will last, we do know that today, more than any other time in the history of man, events are occurring that foreshadow things to come exactly as predicted in the Bible.

The alignment of nations; the collapse of law and order; the lies and deceptions and the weakening influence of our leaders to control the masses, are just a few of the indicators of the era directly preceding the return of Christ.

So what are we trying to say? Being unhappy is the least of our problems. God is sending a wake-up call that even the dimmest among us can't possibly miss. 

According to Got Questions.org the message God is sending is this: 

"Repent and turn your life around. Make a conscious decision to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well (MATTHEW 6:33). The meaning of this verse is as direct as it sounds. We are to seek the things of God as a priority over the things of the world...believers who have learned to truly put God first may then rest in the promise...and all these things (like love, joy, peace) will be given to you as well, then, whether Jesus comes for you at the Rapture or at your death, you will be ready for an eternity of pure joy."

"...what joy for those whose record the Lord has cleared of sin, whose lives are lived in complete honesty" (PSALM 32:2).

A wise man once said: "According to the Bible, if you know God and discover His plan for your life, you will find the happiness you're searching for. It doesn't come from seeking to be happy in and of itself. It comes from knowing and seeking the God who created you and discovering His plan and purpose for your life." -- Greg Laurie, Harvest Christian Fellowship

"See, I am coming soon, and My reward is with Me, to repay all according to their deeds" (REVELATION 22:12).

"New Report: The China Threat"

As if all the racial tensions and COVID scares weren't enough, a new report warns that China has high-tech weapons zeroed in on the U.S. power grid.

That's right, people. China has used stolen U.S. technology to build a trio of weapons that could be used to throw America back into the dark ages.

According to a summary of the report from the independent EMP Task Force on National Homeland Security:

"China now has a network of satellites, high-speed missiles and super-electromagnetic pulse weapons that could melt down the U.S. electric network, fry critical communications and stifle aircraft carrier groups."

In other words, China has an EMP with our name on it. And despite China's promises not to attack unless we attack first--has lied.

The EMP report, written by longtime expert and task force executive director Peter Pry, reveals new data that proves the communist nation is eager to attack

The report, Pry explained, shows China's "military doctrine" including:

• numerous examples of using EMP attacks to defeat the U.S.
• a surprise "Pear Harbor" style attack
• is replete with technical operational planning consistent with a nuclear first strike  

The report found China's People's Liberation Army textbook already preaches the need for such warfare.

The good news? After years of warning former administrations against the possibility of EMP attack, President Trump and the Pentagon are finally taking the threat seriously. Trump has already issued an executive order: "Coordinating National Resilience to Electromagnetic Pulse."

William R. Graham, Chairman of the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse Attack, warns, "such an attack could turn the lights out for a year." Better pray it's not too late.

A wise man once said: "Satan knows that prayer brings us victory and spells his defeat. He knows it's the deciding factor in our spiritual warfare. That's why he concentrates all his efforts against prayer. He'll do all he can to upset our prayer time, and keep us from praying." --Chuck Smith, pastor

"Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts. They have no fear of God to restrain them. In their blind conceit, they cannot see how wicked they really are. Everything they say is crooked and deceitful. They refuse to act wisely or do what is good. They lie awake at night, hatching sinful plots. They make no attempt to turn from evil" (PSALM 36:1-4).

"Lawless in Seattle"

"Are we living in the end times as many believe? How can we be sure? Gary Stearman of Prophecy Watchers believes 2 Timothy Chapter 3 offers a detailed and graphic view of society in the latter days.

According to Stearman:

"Timothy warns us of those perilous times to come, using specific words in the Greek text that indicate a fierce and raging insanity. In fact, this key Greek word is used in only one other place in Scripture and it establishes the proper context for today's shocking events."

In Matthew 8:28 the same Greek word is used to describe two exceedingly fierce demon-possessed men.

Stearman's conclusion? Paul's words in the book of 2 Timothy predict a time in history (now?) when demonic spirits will greatly influence the behavior of the masses.

"Reading [the book of] Timothy's words is like turning on the news and seeing them come to life," Stearman said.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God...2 TIMOTHY 3:1-4

In the last weeks riots have broken out, not just in the U.S., but in the United Kingdom. Germany, South Korea, Hong Kong, Israel, Italy, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, and elsewhere.

And now a new insanity has swept the U.S. with calls to defund the police or abolish them entirely as several city blocks in Seattle known as the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (aka CHAZ) has done. A self-declared country separate from the United States, CHAZ has banished the police force and abolished the rule of law.

In Jesus' Olivet Discourse, He prophesied that in the end time lawlessness will abound.

The Greek word translated "lawless" is anomia. The literal meaning? "Without law".

Because the time of Tribulation is still in the future, we can chalk up this current insanity to yet another birth pain which will (hopefully) die down. The "lawlessness" Jesus predicted will lead to an almost total societal turn toward evil and wickedness. Jesus said it will be "as the days of Noah were" (MATTHEW 24:37). Then "every intent of the thoughts of man's heart was only evil continually" (GENESIS 6:5).

So, are we there yet? Nope. But getting closer every day.

"Let no one deceive you in any way, for that day will not come unless the rebellion comes first and the man of lawlessness is revealed..." (2 THESSALONIANS 2:3)

A wise woman once said: "2 Thessalonians occurs during the Tribulation from which the Church is absent. Yet what we have seen playing out on the streets of America in May and June is a dress rehearsal, though subdued compared to the lawlessness and turmoil in the Tribulation. It is still setting the stage. -- Jan Markell, Olive Tree Ministries

"Unmasking The Truth"

In a nation torn by divisions of every kind, racism has taken center stage in the wake of George Floyd's death. But in 2020, even insignificant differences in opinion are enough to rip us apart. Take the mask issue, for instance.

"People resisting mandatory mask policies are, per usual, painted as unreasonable, headstrong, and backward--displaying ignorant, American bravado while rejecting science and good sense," writes Molly McCann, of The Federalist.

Surprise, surprise--the nation is divided again, reports Marc Fisher of The Washington Post, "and in painfully familiar ways, by politics and by attitudes about government power and individual choice."

"Kevin Krannawitter won't wear a mask because he just doesn't think it's necessary whatever the scientists say. Marilyn Singleton won't wear one either--and she's a physician--because she says it's un-American for the government to force people to cover their faces. You won't see Ricardo Thornton in a mask because it reminds him of a time when he wasn't free to make his own decisions about his life," Fisher explains.

"Masks have become a major metaphor, not least for national and international confusion. For some, covering the face defines civic virtue; for others, it's a concession to government overreach, a denial of individuality," contends The Imaginative Conservative.

Like pretty much everything else these days, this virus has become weaponized and the mask has become a symbol (to some) of which side you are on.

No mask = a knuckle-dragging Neanderthal too thick-headed to understand the science and too selfish to care--a typical Trump supporter.

Mask compliant = the exact opposite

Does it matter that the "experts" (including Dr. Anthony Fauci himself in a "60 Minutes" interview in March) dismissed masks as essentially useless early on in this pandemic?

Nope. What matters is the agenda.

According to The Federalist masks are only a small part of a much longer agenda.

"Mandatory masks are a critical predicate conditioning us to accept abuses of our liberty. Mandatory masking provides the foundation on which governments continue to justify emergency measures and rule by executive fiat, and it creates a national mood of consent that America will accept indefinite government expansion because we face a new normal."

But, it's just a mask, you say. True, but a cause of division because some believe it tells them all they need to know about the one wearing it or not wearing it. Masks have become an emotional issue, a symbol of all the mind-blowing life-altering global changes of the last three months. All pointing to the End Times scenario. A scenario, sad to say, that makes no mention of the United States of America.

A wise woman once said: "We're not just end-time kooks wandering down Main Street warning about a zombie apocalypse. We're warning that the Bible predicted some things that would set the stage for the final moments of history as we know it...That final scene is imminent. Everything is falling into place. Don't delay putting your faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life. You are not guaranteed a tomorrow to make that call." -- Jan Markell, Olive Tree Ministries

"If a Kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand." (MARK 3:24-25)
