Romans 1:18-32
(18) For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
(19) because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.
(20) For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.
(21) For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God, or give thanks; but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
(22) Professing to be wise, they became fools,
(23) and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.
(24) Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, that their bodies might be dishonored among them.
(25) For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
(26) For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural,
(27) and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
(28) And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper,
(29) being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips,
(30) slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,
(31) without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful;
(32) and, although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them. [Added by SLM editor]
The Bible is clear that man is made in the image of God; but if man continues to reject God, then man is led more and more by evil spirits and he no longer has a human mind, but rather a reprobate or animalistic mind.
This explains how Hamas can brutally control and even kill their fellow Arabs, now called Palestinians, living in the Gaza Strip. It also explains the demonic, beastly behavior toward over 1,400 Jews they savagely murdered. They kidnapped over 250 and held them as hostages. They raped women and killed parents in front of their children and children in front of their parents. Hamas has beheaded babies, cut babies right out from their mother’s womb, burned families alive inside their homes and done other horrible atrocities showing no human emotion. Their minds are reduced to that of sheer animals that prey on each other.
Matthew 24:3-8
The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age
3Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” 4And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8All these are the beginning of sorrows.”
Matthew 24:14
A SPECIFIC SIGN IS TO PREACH THE TRUE GOSPEL
14And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
Matthew 24:16-21
16“then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. 18And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. 19But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. 21For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.”
Luke 21:7-36
The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age
7So they asked Him, saying, “Teacher, but when will these things be? And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place?” 8And He said: “Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’ Therefore do not go after them. 9But when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately.” 10Then He said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven. 12But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and rulers for My name’s sake. 13But it will turn out for you as an occasion for testimony. 14Therefore settle it in your hearts not to meditate beforehand on what you will answer; 15for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist. 16You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relatives and friends; and they will put some of you to death. 17And you be hated by all for My will name’s sake. 18But not a hair of your head shall be lost. 19By your patience possess your souls.”
The Destruction of Jerusalem
20“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. 21Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. 22For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 23But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. 24And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.”
The Coming of the Son of Man
25“And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
The Parable of the Fig Tree
29Then He spoke to them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. 30When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near. 31So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. 32Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place. 33Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.”
The Importance of Watching
34“But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. 35For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
Mark 13:3-27
The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age
3Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked Him privately, 4“Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?”
5And Jesus, answering them, began to say: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 6 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and will deceive many. 7 But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet. 8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows.” 9“But watch out for yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils, and you will be beaten in the synagogues. You will be brought before rulers and kings for My sake, for a testimony to them. 10And the gospel must first be preached to all the nations. 11But when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand, or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. 12Now brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. 13And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.”
The Great Tribulation
14“So when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not” (let the reader understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15Let him who is on the housetop not go down into the house, nor enter to take anything out of his house. 16And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. 17But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 18And pray that your flight may not be in winter. 19For in those days there will be tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the creation which God created until this time, nor ever shall be. 20And unless the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake, whom He chose, He shortened the days.” 21“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, He is there!’ do not believe it. 22For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 23But take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand.”
The Coming of the Son of Man
24“But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; 25the stars of heaven will fall, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. 26Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 27And then He will send His angels, and gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven.”
Hama’s Foreshadow of the Great Tribulation
The horrific, animalistic, demonic actions against the Jewish people on October 7, 2023, are a foretaste of the Great Tribulation and demonstrates how men can turn into animals, no longer operating with a human mind.
Man’s capacity for evil is once again on full display and certainly was exposed in the Jewish areas surrounding Gaza. The world witnessed Hama’s hatred from hell itself against fellow human beings, whether it is Jews, Americans, or Palestinians living in the Gaza. Hamas used them as human shields and threw their political opponents off buildings, et cetera.
Anti-Israel Obama and Biden Administrations
Even though President Biden echoes words of support for Israel, yet the reality is that Biden’s government is very hostile toward Israel. Biden is carrying out former President Barack Obama’s anti-Israel policies.
Obama weakened Israel and empowered Israel’s enemies, especially Iran every chance he had. Consequently, Obama is also complicit and responsible for Iran and Hamas horrific murderous crimes against Israel. Obama supported the Muslim Brotherhood and even helped put them into power in Egypt, betraying President Mubarak who had been an ally of America. Obama brought thousands of radical Muslims to America and is still working to overthrow Judeo-Christian values with those of the New World Order, which is Islamic and Communistic.
Obama wants the collapse of the Republic and has been pushing this lawlessness in America. He backs Antifa, BLM, Islamic terrorist organizations, and Hamas protests in the United States. When he was president, he appointed a Communist CIA director, John Brennan, and was involved in framing President Trump. He weaponized the legal system in America including the CIA, FBI, DOJ and others.
These Islamic terrorist organizations and countries such as Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Syria etc., can see that America doesn’t fully support Israel. Now Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah and others are becoming emboldened to be more aggressive in their attacks on Israel and people in the United States.
25 Prophetic Dreams
Since April 2020, I have had 25 prophetic dreams. They all involve Civic Unrest, Civil War and an Invasion. We have seen Civil Unrest relentlessly throughout America since the dreams. Antifa, BLM, and Hamas protests are led by Islamic and Communistic professors who are terrorists themselves. When President Trump was in office, we witnessed sheer hatred against him, his followers, conservative Supreme Court Judges, etc.
One can smell the toxic hatred in America exhibited by liberals, especially those in Congress. America is divided by intent, as powers are pushing for war, both civil and international.
THE DOUBLE STANDARD OF JUSTICE NOW IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS CLEAR, EVEN FOR A BLIND MAN.
Daniel 2:31-38
31“You, O king, were watching; and behold, a great image! This great image, whose splendor was excellent, stood before you; and its form was awesome. 32This image’s head was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, 33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. 34You watched while a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. 35Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found. And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.” 36“This is the dream. Now we will tell the interpretation of it before the king. 37You, O king, are a king of kings. For the God of heaven has given you a kingdom, power, strength, and glory; 38and wherever the children of men dwell, or the beasts of the field and the birds of the heaven, He has given them into your hand, and has made you ruler over them all—you are this head of gold.”
NOTE: History reveals to us that these four beast empires were the Babylonian, Persian, Greco-Macedonian and Roman. These four empires were led by men with the heart and mind of a Beast. They committed horrific human atrocities!
Daniel 4:13-16
13“I saw in the visions of my head while on my bed, and there was a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven. 14He cried aloud and said thus: ‘Chop down the tree and cut off its branches, Strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the beasts get out from under it, And the birds from its branches. 15Nevertheless leave the stump and roots in the earth, Bound with a band of iron and bronze, In the tender grass of the field. Let it be wet with the dew of heaven, And let him graze with the beasts On the grass of the earth. 16 Let his heart be changed from that of a man, Let him be given the heart of a beast, And let seven times pass over him.’
As described in my book, THE SCIENCE OF JUDGMENT, men can turn into a beast if they continue to reject the ways of God and continue to be led by evil men influenced by evil spirits.
The only remedy is repentance, and then God can change their heart once again into a heart of man! READ BELOW – God gave Nebuchadnezzar a man’s heart once again. God had to punish Nebuchadnezzar seven years where he had to live like a beast until he came to his senses to repent.
Daniel 4:33-37
33 That very hour the word was fulfilled concerning Nebuchadnezzar; he was driven from men and ate grass like oxen; his body was wet with the dew of heaven till his hair had grown like eagles’ feathers and his nails like birds’ claws.
Nebuchadnezzar Praises God
34And at the end of the time I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me; and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever: For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, And His kingdom is from generation to generation. 35All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; He does according to His will in the army of heaven And among the inhabitants of the earth. No one can restrain His hand Or say to Him, “What have You done?” 36 At the same time my reason returned to me, and for the glory of my kingdom, my honor and splendor returned to me. My counselors and nobles resorted to me, I was restored to my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added to me. 37Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, all of whose works are truth, and His ways justice. And those who walk in pride He is able to put down.
In Daniel 7:3 we see these same four beastly empires
3And four great beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other.
Dear Saint, as Nebuchadnezzar lived like a wild beast, no longer with the heart of a man, so the Babylonian system has continued to leaders with the minds of wild animals. The Persians, Greeks, Romans, and Europeans, with leaders like Hitler and Mussolini, have all been cursed to be led by men who no longer have a human heart, but that of a savage beast/animal.
I hope I have made it clearly understood how serious the situation is in America and the world. Only the influence of the Christians, who have enough righteousness in them to combat evil forces, has historically turned back the tide of evil beastlike men with no human heart or mind.
If we don’t have another Great Awakening NOW, the Republic of America will fall and millions of Americans will die. True Christians will become the enemy of the state.
