Prophecy Update: Prophecy Smorgasbord 7/31/20
Jesus said, if they hated Me they will hate you!
If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. John 15:18
The hatred that we see exhibited today in America is part of the move towards global government. To bring down the United States, Satan desires to destroy and persecute Christianity.
You may have heard of the pastors in California defying the governor’s decree regarding churches. John MacArthur came out strong this week with a sermon that told the governor of California that Jesus is the Lord of the Church. Unfortunately, the United States Supreme Court has ruled against the church several times since the virus outbreak. “In a 5-4 Decision the United States Supreme Court has determined that California restricting church gatherings is not unconstitutional, and does not violate the “free exercise clause of the First Amendment. The Ninth Circuit Judges, regarding restrictions against churches regarding the free exercise of their religion, and more specifically, worship services, said, constitutional standards that would normally govern our review of a Free Exercise claim should not be applied. The last time I checked, the First Amendment does not say, “Freedom of Religion, unless there’s a virus.” CanadaFreePress.com
“Supreme Court denies Nevada church’s appeal of attendance restriction amid coronavirus pandemic. Nevada has placed a 50-person cap on all places of worship, no matter the capacity of the building, as a part of the state’s coronavirus restrictions. But casinos, along with other businesses such as restaurants and movie theaters, may permit up to 50 percent capacity, allowing casinos to grant access to hundreds of patrons at a time.” FoxNews.com Christians are being harrassed all across the nation. My question for Christians is serious: Will you obey God or man?
Jesus said that lawlessness will prevail
“And every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.” 1 John 4:3
The lawlessness enveloping the country is a result of the spirit of antichrist. Part of this lawlessness is the fact that whether in politics or in sports, the nation has adopted a globalist mentality. Anyone not going along with globalism, progressivism, and the New World Order needs to be isolated and eliminated. The tower of Babel is the model for Satan. Satan is moving politicians, businesses, and sports teams to reject being American and embrace the New World Order. Satan has the goal of bringing down the United States because the One World Government cannot abide by free and independent Americans. One person standing up to the move towards globalism is Congressman Louis Gohmert. Last week he confronted the Democrats and put a spotlight on their moves to tear down statues and rewrite history.
“Louie Gohmert Urges House to Ban Democratic Party for Supporting Slavery. Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) introduced a privileged resolution on Thursday that calls upon Congress to ban the Democratic Party for supporting slavery and the Confederate States of America, Breitbart News has learned exclusively.” Breitbart.com Representative Gohmert quoted the 1860 democratic parties position on slavery.
“The Democratic Party platforms of 1840, 1844, 1848, 1852, and 1856 stated “that all efforts of the abolitionists, or others, made to induce Congress to interfere with questions of slavery . . . are calculated to lead to the most alarming and dangerous consequences; and that all such efforts have an inevitable tendency to diminish the happiness of the people and endanger the stability and permanency of the Union, and ought not to be countenanced by any friend of our political institutions.”
Gohmert went on to highlight these facts: “No Democrat in Congress supported the 14th Amendment, which gave full citizenship to freed slaves. It passed in 1868 with 94 percent Republican support and zero support from Democrats.”
No wonder the states Democrats control are attacking Christians and supporting rioters over free law-abiding citizens. Rep. Gohmert went on to say; “As outlined in the resolution, a great portion of the history of the Democratic Party is filled with racism and hatred. Since people are demanding we rid ourselves of the entities, symbols, and reminders of the repugnant aspects of our past, then the time has come for Democrats to acknowledge their party’s loathsome and bigoted past, and consider changing their party name to something that isn’t so blatantly and offensively tied to slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination, and the Ku Klux Klan.”
The progressive mentality comes from the spirit of antichrist, propagates violence, encourages rebellion, and wishes to overthrow the constitution of the United States. Sports is a big part of American culture and the left has done a good job of turning the NFL and NBA into globalist organizations. As the NFL and NBA make statements about social justice issues it becomes increasing clear that they are coming from the communist/Marxist worldview.
This conflict between nationalism and globalism took center stage when players began kneeling during the playing of the national anthem. Former coach, Mike Ditka had a lot to say about it recently:
‘If you can’t respect our national anthem, get the he– out of the country’ The Chicago Bears legend and NFL Hall of Famer said he opposed players kneeling for the national anthem. “You don’t protest against the flag and you don’t protest against this country who’s given you the opportunities to make a living playing a sport that you never thought would happen,” Ditka told TMZ. “So, I don’t want to hear all the crap.” FoxNews.com
Lawlessness has reached the pro sports teams. The NFL and the NBA are actively supporting the New World Order. The NBA stands with the communist Chinese, refusing to let any team support the freedom loving people in Hong Kong. They have violated the first amendment; restricting free speech because they are afraid of the Chinese Communist Party.
“Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold.” Matthew 24:12
“NBA afraid to stand against China because money talks. National Basketball Association finds itself in a standoff with the Chinese government over a tweet sent by a member of the Houston Rockets front office that was supportive of the anti-government protestors in Hong Kong. The NBA has also long snuggled up to China because it realizes the potential to make billions of dollars in a country that has a growing love of the sport of basketball.” LewistownSentinel.com
The compromises made with the Chinese brought condemnation from many including congress.
“US Senator Josh Hawley, a Republican from Missouri, sent a mass letter criticizing NBA commissioner Adam Silver and the league’s relationship with China. He asked why “Free Hong Kong” and other conservative messages weren’t a part of the league’s initiative to allow players to put a social justice statement on their uniforms in place of their names.” Deadline.com The response from the NBA and Adam Wojnarowski was strange for Americans who love this country!
“ESPN said an obscene tweet by star NBA reporter Adrian Wojnarowski to Republican US Senator from Missouri Josh Hawley was “completely unacceptable behavior” and promised internal discipline. On Friday, Hawley posted a screenshot Wojnarowski’s email on his Twitter feed, noting, “Don’t criticize #China or express support for law enforcement to @espn. It makes them real mad.”
Let’s get this straight, supporting Hong Kong and our own police makes the NBA, ESPN, and China real mad so senator, stop supporting police and Hong Kong. Wow! “The company statement came after Wojnarowski tweeted “F**k you” to Hawley, who asked in a tweet and letter to NBA Commissioner Adam Silver why NBA players were not allowed to put “Free Hong Kong,” “Support Our Troops,” “Back The Blue” and other conservative statements on their shirts.”
In fact, the NBA said they approved 29 messages for players to put on their jerseys and none of them support the United States. One of them is “Group Economics” and this is proof that the NBA is serious about following an international rather than a national mentality. Since Donald Trump became President, the tension between those who want to stay an independent nation and those who want a global government has reached the tipping point. (Thursday night the NBA started their season. The league announced that they will allow the message, ‘freehongkong’ after the games started. This was an attempt to alieve themselves of all of the criticism.)
Defund the police movements across the country are evidence that we have entered the stage of collapse in the country. It is a great example of lawlessness!
Jesus said that Israel will be attacked
“Alas! for that day is great, there is none like it; and it is the time of Jacob’s distress, but he will be saved from it.” Jeremiah 30:7
The tensions rising in Israel are at epidemic levels. Iran suffered attacks every day for the past three weeks. They are beside themselves with rage towards Israel and the United States. Just this week, Israel attacked twice on their northern border.
“The Israeli military on Friday said its helicopters struck Syrian army targets in response to mortars fired toward the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. Syria’s state news agency SANA quoted a military source as saying Israeli helicopters targeted three outposts in Syria’s southern Quneitra area with anti-tank guided missiles, causing two injuries and some forest fires. Tension rose this week along the Israel-Syria frontier after a fighter of the Iranian-backed Lebanese Shi’ite group Hezbollah was killed in an apparent Israeli strike on the edge of Damascus on Monday.” Reuters.com Using F-16 and Apache helicopters, Israel attacked Syria this weekend killing military leaders from Iran and Hezbollah.
“Israel has reportedly conveyed to international officials that it doesn’t want Monday’s border altercation to descend into a war with Hezbollah terror group. The message also warned that if needed, Israel was ready to deal a “painful blow.” TimesofIsrael.com
“Washington offered to give Hamas $15 billion in aid if it would agree to disarm. Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said Monday that his organization recently turned down a substantial aid package from the United States because it would have had to lay down its weapons.” IsraelHayom.com
“Erdogan’s vision: Uniting an ‘Army of Islam’ to destroy Israel in 10 days. An article in a Turkish paper with close ties to Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan exposes the regime’s desire to form an “Army of Islam” to attack and destroy the State of Israel. The article calls on the 57 member nations of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) throughout the Muslim world to join forces against the Israeli “occupiers” who would then be vastly outnumbered and unable to defend their country.” KehilaNews
God is moving the ball forward to fulfilling His promise to give all of the land back to Israel. The West Bank will soon see war and Israel will move in. This will fulfill the Word of the Lord and all of the social justice warriors will scream ‘unjust’. Is anything God accomplishes unjust? Believing the LORD and His prophetic Word is the right and privilege of all born-again Christian. Doing so will bring the condemnation and scorn from the false churches and social justice warriors. The same people who support the social justice message in America are the same people who want Israel destroyed! The battle lines are drawn. Where will you stand?
Hatred of Jesus and His people, lawlessness pervading culture, and attacking Israel are the three key thoughts this week. The divisions in America will reveal the sheep from the goats. Trust in the promise Jesus made!
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.” John 10:27-28
