David Cameron and Theresa May

COGwriter

Apparently, because of pressures from the European Union and elsewhere, UK Prime Minister David Cameron has decided to resign months before he originally planned.  He is expected to be replaced by Theresa May:

July 11, 2016

Another day in post-Brexit British politics and more surprises. Government officials and Buckingham Palace were scrambling Monday to nail down the procedures for the country’s long-serving interior minister Theresa May to move into Downing Street on Wednesday, replacing outgoing Prime Minister David Cameron.

The scramble was triggered following the abrupt withdrawal by May’s rival, Andrea Leadsom,from what would have been a long, drawn out contest to lead the country’s Conservative Party. Leadsom, a mother of three, quit following a brutal weekend of media and party criticism for ill-judged comments in which she suggested that she was better equipped to be Prime Minister than the childless May. http://www.voanews.com/content/in-britain-may-to-run-unopposed-after-leadsom-quits/3413306.html

11 July 2016

Theresa May promised to build a “better Britain” and to make the UK’s EU exit a “success” after she was announced as the new Tory leader and soon-to-be PM.

Speaking outside Parliament, Mrs May said she was “honoured and humbled” to succeed David Cameron, after her only rival in the race withdrew on Monday.

Mr Cameron will tender his resignation to the Queen after PMQs on Wednesday.

Mr Cameron, who has been UK prime minister since 2010, decided to quit after the UK’s Brexit vote.

It follows another day of dramatic developments in the political world, when Andrea Leadsom unexpectedly quit the two-way Conservative leadership contest, saying she did not have the support to build “a strong and stable government”.

Her decision left Mrs May – the front runner – as the only candidate to take over leading the party and to therefore become prime minister. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-36768148

There have been a lot of ‘sudden developments’ in UK politics the last month or so.  Boris Johnson, who was widely expected to become the next UK Prime Minister, suddenly dropped out.  David Cameron who said he would stay on until October (see UK votes YES to leave the European Union–What is now prophesied to happen?), is now leaving this week.  And now Andrea Leadsom unexpectedly quit in her attempt to become the next Prime Minister.

Theresa May is one who some think can be the ‘iron lady’ in the mold of the late Margaret Thatcher. In one at least one respect, she seems to be an odd choice. Why? She opposed the Brexit (BRitish EXIT from the European Union) even though about 2/3 of her party voted in favor of it. On the other hand, the Europeans she will need to deal with might respect the fact that she wanted the UK to remain part of the EU.

Here is some information about Theresa May:

July 11, 2016

The United Kingdom is about to usher in a leader who is every bit as formidable and steady as the last woman who ran the country: Margaret Thatcher.

Like the “Iron Lady,” who served as prime minister from 1979 to 1990, Home Secretary Theresa May has a reputation for steely determination and a willingness to stand up to the men who traditionally dominate British politics.

May joins German Chancellor Angela Merkel as the leader of one of Europe’s biggest nations. If Hillary Clinton wins the U.S. presidential race in November, women would be in charge of the Western world’s most powerful countries. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2016/07/11/united-kingdom-theresa-may-prime-minister/86936882/

May held the office of Minister for Women and Equality in parallel to her office of Home Secretary from 2010 to September 2012, when this role was taken over Maria Miller. …

Support for same-sex marriage

In May 2012, May expressed support for the introduction of same-sex marriage by recording a video for the Out4Marriage campaign.May became one of the first high-profile Conservative MPs to pledge personal support for same-sex marriage. …

2016 Conservative leadership election

On 30 June 2016, May formally announced her candidacy for party leader to replace Prime Minister David Cameron who had resigned after the European Union membership referendum. May emphasised the need for unity within the party regardless of positions about leaving the EU and said she could bring “strong leadership” and a “positive vision” for the country’s future. She insisted that there would be no second referendum about the UK remaining in the EU. “The campaign was fought … and the public gave their verdict. There must be no attempts to remain inside the EU, no attempts to rejoin it through the back door … Brexit means Brexit,” she said, adding that Article 50 (the formal notification of Britain’s exit from the EU) should not be filed until the end of 2016. …

Religious views

May is a member of the Church of England and regularly worships at church on Sunday. (Theresa May, Wikipedia, accessed 07/11/16)

The UK apparently is about to get its second female prime minister brings the following scripture to mind:

12 As for My people, children are their oppressors, And women rule over them. O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err, And destroy the way of your paths.

Margaret Thatcher was the first female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.  It looks like the LGBT agenda supporting Theresa May will be the second. The Bible warns about leaders who do not promote biblical values:

16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err, And those who are led by them are destroyed (Isaiah 9:16).

Of course, this is not just a UK problem.

Since the time of Margaret Thatcher, I have felt that it is likely that the USA would end up with a female president or at least a highly influential woman in a top level federal government job. As it turns out, the four remaining predominantly British-descended nations (the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand) all have had not only queens (they shared the same ones), but all have already had a woman in the office of prime minister. The prime minister is the chief executive official in a parliamentary system of governance. The female who looks to be the US Democratic party presidential nominee is perhaps even a bigger supporter of the LGBT agenda than Theresa May.  The two might possibly work together to promote this nationally and internationally.

This is not good.

That being said, we will see when and how the UK negotiates its exit from the European Union. EU leaders have asked for it to be sooner than later, and since David Cameron said he wanted the next Prime Minister to do it, the beginning of the negotiations may happen sooner than even Theresa May has indicated.

The recent shootings and protests are troubling many in the USA:

July 11, 2016

WASHINGTON—The United States finds itself beginning a new work week Monday after enduring a week of violence – two police shootings of African American men at point-blank range in Louisiana and Minnesota and the shooting deaths of five police officers in Dallas, Texas, at what was a peaceful demonstration against alleged police brutality.

Police in Dallas say gunman Micah Xavier Johnson had plans to deliver more destruction in Dallas.  Police Chief David Brown said “We’re convinced that this suspect had other plans and thought that what he was doing was righteous and believed that he was going to target law enforcement — make us pay for what he saw as law enforcement’s efforts to punish people of color.” …

Bomb-making materials and a rambling journal were found at Johnson’s home during a search.

“The materials were such that it was large enough to have devastating effects throughout or city and our North Texas area,” Brown said. …

The president plans to visit Dallas Tuesday and deliver remarks at a memorial service. Demonstrations have been held in many cities across the country in recent days with some confrontations between protesters and police, as well as numerous arrests.

“I would like all sides to listen to each other,” Obama said in reference to protestors such as those involved with the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement and police organizations throughout the U.S. http://www.voanews.com/content/us-looks-ahead-after-a-week-of-deadly-violence/3412014.html

July 11, 2016

Dozens more people were arrested Sunday night as protests continued in Baton Rouge, La., following the fatal police shooting of Alton Sterling last week, authorities told NBC News.

At least 48 people had been were taken into custody by midnight Sunday, said Casey Rayborn Hicks, a spokeswoman for the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office. The new arrests followed more than 100 others that were made Saturday.

Among those arrested Saturday was DeRay Mckesson, a prominent leader of the Black Lives Matter movement. Mckesson, who released Sunday . . .

“Arrests were inevitable,” Col. Michael Edmonson, supervisor of the Louisiana State Police, said in a statement Sunday. “Our troopers maintained their poise and demeanor and focused on the job at hand, all the while enduring angry epithets and an occasional water bottle hurled from inside the crowd.”

Edmonson told the Times-Picayune newspaper of New Orleans that some officers were struck in their heads by hurled as police chased a large crowd after a tense standoff. http://www.aol.com/article/2016/07/11/48-more-arrests-made-as-protests-continue-in-baton-rouge-la/21429625/?icid=maing-grid7|main5|dl1|sec1_lnk2&pLid=243753939_htmlws-main-bb

Racially-motivated violence, like that done for sure by the Dallas shooter (and perhaps possibly by one or more of the police officers this week–and as that is being investigated that allegation is not publicly certain) is wrong.

Some suspect that the Dallas shooter may have had ties to Islam, though it appears his motivations were more racial:

July 10, 2016

Micah Xavier Johnson . . . was a black nationalist who showed affinity for the Nation of Islam. Johnson “liked” pages related to Elijah Muhamad, the Nation of Islam founder, as well as Facebook pages of the Black Riders Liberation Party, the New Black Panther Party and the African American Defense League. A group called the Black Power Political Organization took responsibility for the Dallas attack. …

• In March, WND reported the concern of FBI counter-terror specialist John Guandolo that Black Lives Matter radicals were beginning to team up with Muslim elements to provoke trouble in U.S. cities that he said will surprise most police agencies.

• Prior to the Dallas shooting, reported Heavy.com, a Black Lives Matter member reached out to ISIS on social media, and ISIS supporters have since commented on the attack.

• In March, the former FBI analyst Guandolo warned the Muslim Brotherhood is teaming up with the Black Lives Matter movement to create violent events that will surprise many police agencies in cities across the U.S. http://www.wnd.com/2016/07/the-obama-islamic-links-to-dallas/#2HIFzxKfdtVED9ZI.99

July 10, 2016

The Dallas cop-killer frequented black-power events despite no official membership and was so committed that he wrote one group’s motto with his own blood.

DALLAS — Micah Johnson sought to join a black militant group two years before he targeted white police officers for death but was turned away after a background check.

Though shunned from groups like the People’s New Black Panther Party and the Black Riders Liberation Party, Johnson continued attending protests and events in the area, according to multiple people within the Dallas activist community.

Online, Johnson was loosely affiliated with the African American Defense League, the Black Riders Liberation Party, the Huey P. Newton Gun Club, and South Dallas’ Muhammad Mosque Number 48, which is run by acolytes of Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam. Both the Houston and Dallas chapters of the People’s New Black Panther Party said unequivocally that Johnson was never a member of either group. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/07/11/micah-johnson-was-blacklisted-by-black-power-groups-as-unstable.html

July 8, 2016

Micah Johnson, 25, of Mesquite, Texas, was identified by police as the sniper who shot 12 people during a Black Lives Matter protest in downtown Dallas on Thursday night. By Friday, the authorities had found “bomb making materials, ballistic vests, rifles, ammunition, and a personal journal of combat tactics” in the Army veteran’s apartment—evidence suggesting that the killings might have been only one part of Johnson’s violent plans.

Johnson left the Army “under a cloud of sexual harassment charges made by a fellow soldier who sought an order of protection against him and said he needed mental health counseling.” And on social media, Johnson left traces of a militant mindset. Johnson’s profile photo on Facebook shows him in a dashiki, holding a clenched fist in the air. Johnson’s cover photos are a black liberation flag and a black power fist. …

Johnson did not explicitly identify himself as a member of the Nation of Islam, a militant black Muslim group, but liked pages relating to Elijah Mohammed, the group’s deceased founder. Johnson also liked several militant and black separatist groups such as The New Black Panther Party and the African American Defense League.

The league posted on Facebook after Johnson’s massacre: “ATTACK EVERYTHING IN BLUE EXCEPT THE MAIL MAN, UNLESS HE IS CARRYING MORE THAN MAIL.” http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/07/08/micah-johnson-dallas-cop-killer-was-black-nationalist.html

Update, 7/8: Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings today identified a suspect as Micah X. Johnson, a resident of Mesquite. Micah X. appears to have been named after Malcolm X., one of the founding members of the Nation of Islam. “While in prison, Malcolm X became a member of the Nation of Islam, and after his parole in 1952, quickly rose to become one of the organization’s most influential leaders.”

Micah Xavier Johnson, who died in a shootout with police, told authorities he was upset about recent police shootings and ‘wanted to kill white people, especially white officers.’ He is the only suspect Dallas police have publicly identified so far, and also the only dead suspect. http://www.nowtheendbegins.com/5-dallas-shooting-suspects-muslims-attended-south-dallas-mosque/

‘Black Lives Matter’ Member Had Reached Out to ISIS

July 8, 2016

Prior to the deadly shooting carried out by Micah Xavier Johnson that killed 5 police officers in Dallas last night, a BLM member had reached out to the Islamic State on social media. Supporters of the so-called Islamic State have since commented on the attack. http://heavy.com/news/2016/07/micah-xavier-johnson-dallas-sniper-sniping-police-shooting-black-lives-matter-blm-isis-islamic-state/

The item above showed a Facebook post from an alleged ‘Blacks Lives Matter’ supporter who basically called out for the Islamic State to kill every time a black person was killed.

Obama defends Black Lives Matter movement as protests heat up

July 10, 2016

During a visit to Spain early Sunday morning, President Obama defended the Black Lives Matter movement and the right of activists to demonstrate in cities across the United States, following a long night of ongoing protests over the highly public deaths last week of two black men at the hands of police.

“One of the great things about America is that individual citizens and groups of citizens can petition their government, can protest, can speak truth to power,” Mr. Obama told reporters in Madrid. “And that is sometimes messy and controversial but because of that ability to protest and engage in free speech, America over time has gotten better. We’ve all benefited from that.”

The president pointed to sometimes contentious demonstrations in American history — spawned by abolitionists, suffragettes, civil rights activists, and others — that faced criticisms similar to the Black Lives Matter movement.

“There were times when activists engaged in rhetoric that was overheated and occasionally counterproductive,” Mr. Obama conceded, “but the point was to raise issues… I think what you’re seeing now is part of that long standing tradition.” http://www.cbsnews.com/news/obama-defends-black-lives-matter-movement-as-protests-heat-up/

Some believe that US President Barack Obama has fanned the flames of violence. Here is one:

July 10, 2016

Judge Jeanine Pirro said the Dallas police ambush is a reflection of a growing racial divide in America, a divide that was created by President Obama.”Dallas was about anarchy. It was about lawlessness. It was about the rhetoric that too easily inflames those who feel wronged, rhetoric that does nothing but repeatedly stoke the flames and scars of old wounds resolved long ago,” Judge Jeanine said.

She explained that whether it’s the death of Trayvon Martin in Florida or Michael Brown in Missouri, Obama stokes the flames of racial unrest every chance he gets.

“Mr. President, you’ve done nothing but tell us we deserve it. You’ve done nothing but look back in the rearview mirror,” Judge Jeanine said.

“But when I look at Dallas, all I saw were whites and blacks running away from anarchy. All I saw were whites and blacks picking each other up. That’s the America I see. And no one is going to change my mind. And no one – not even you, Mr. President – is going to do that.” http://insider.foxnews.com/2016/07/10/judge-jeanine-pirro-dallas-shooting-reflection-racial-divide-created-obama

The shooting in Dallas was not just about racism. Make no mistake, that dirt bag shooter who will remain nameless in this open, was a racist. An African-American, he wanted to kill only white people, especially white officers.

And the shooting in Dallas wasn’t just about police brutality. I got news for you, folks: Police brutality is color blind. It crosses all racial and ethnic lines. I know – I’ve prosecuted them.

It wasn’t just about someone mentally ill. I’ve always found that stigma too easy an excuse for evil.

And it wasn’t just about guns, either.

Dallas was about anarchy. It was about lawlessness. It was about the rhetoric that too easily inflames those who feel wronged, rhetoric that does nothing but repeatedly stoke the flames and scars of old wounds resolved long ago.

At a time when Americans were both experiencing and fearing the reality of a Muslim jihad against us, our president – at a prayer breakfast, no less – attempts to reconcile or explain murders in the name of Allah with this.

And after the shooting of 12 police officers, he seeks to again remind us not of the situation at hand the shooting of 14 people but instead talks of the deaths of two African-Americans, a follow-up that seems like another “get off your high horse.”

Every chance he gets, he stokes the flames. Example: Trayvon Martin, followed by a not guilty verdict. And Ferguson’s Michael Brown, a thug who tried to grab a cop’s gun and got himself shot. There wasn’t an indictment and not even federal charges against the police officer.

Ferguson was about anarchy, and anyone with a functioning brain would have to assume for Michael Brown grab a cop’s gun suggests it wasn’t his first encounter with the law. Who told Brown that he and not the law should be in control? And yet the Department of Justice the attorney general and high end government officials rush to Ferguson, to his funeral as well.

And Baltimore – another training ground for anarchists. A perceived wrong, the response based on rhetoric of racial injustice and hate should be a violent protest? The burning of businesses, many owned by African Americans? A DA who outrageously runs to a microphone and announces an indictment of six cops saying she hears the calls of a lawless mob. And again all the police painted as racists, yet no convictions. And it was an African-American judge who made the calls.

And in New York the chant: “What do we want? Dead cops. When do we want them? Now.” And then two cops innocently eating lunch in their squad car assassinated not long after.

We have leaders who vehemently support the First Amendment language and protests that call for the deaths of those who wear the badge, but then caution us to not say something that would offend another’s religion.

And our president – upon hearing of the assassination of five police officers, all white, and the shooting of seven other officers – wants to talk about a white kid walking into a black church shooting. Why, Mr. President, are you even bringing this up? It’s the same thing you did at the prayer breakfast. After an American has his head cut off, you want to talk about the crusades, as if, “It’s your turn.” Mr. President, you’ve done nothing but tell us we deserve it. You’ve done nothing but look back in the rearview mirror.

But when I look at Dallas, all I saw were whites and blacks running away from anarchy. All I saw were whites and blacks picking each other up. http://insider.foxnews.com/2016/07/10/judge-jeanine-pirro-dallas-shooting-reflection-racial-divide-created-obama

Although many had high hopes that racial tensions would lesson because of the 2008 election of Barack Obama as US President, that has not seemed to be the case.

As the USA moves further away from biblically-related morality and justice, increased violence is expected.

Violence, itself, often begets violence.

The Bible teaches:

9 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Enough, O princes of Israel! Remove violence and plundering, execute justice and righteousness (Ezekiel 45:9)

9…You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. (Romans 13:9-10)

Expect to see more violence and civil unrest in the USA.

As far as violence goes, the Bible shows that God is against violence and that destruction will come because of it:

23 ‘Make a chain,
For the land is filled with crimes of blood,
And the city is full of violence.
24 Therefore I will bring the worst of the Gentiles,
And they will possess their houses;
I will cause the pomp of the strong to cease,
And their holy places shall be defiled. (Ezekiel 7:23-24)

22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man — and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality…30…violent, proud, boasters,…31…unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. (Romans 1:22-32)

8…And the violence of the land and the city, And of all who dwell in it. ( Habakkuk 2:8)

Notice the violence is prophesied to result in the worst of the Gentiles to come and take possession of houses–this will happen to the USA during the Great Tribulation (see also When Will the Great Tribulation Begin?).

Even now, it can be said of various cities in the USA, “the city is full of violence.” And it will get worse.

Irvin Baxter’s Four Horsemen (Endtime Ministries Website)

COGwriter

A while back, I caught a few minutes of Irvin Baxter’s End of the Age program where he discussed Islam and his view of the ‘four horsemen of the apocalypse.

He claimed that each of the four horsemen represented one of four spirits. He claimed that the white horseman represented the Roman Catholic Church, the red horseman represented communism, the black horseman represented capitalism, and the green horseman represented Islam.

He showed at least part of the illustration shown at the beginning of this post. He claimed it was amazing how all of these (supposedly) fit in with Bible prophecy.

One of his biggest ‘proofs’ is that he showed a video clip that had a greenish image fade in a crowd prior to the overthrow of Egypt’s President Hosni Mubarak. He said this was proof that his ‘green horse’ was Islam. He showed the video clip at least three times that I noticed. The clip reminded me of an email that an Eastern Orthodox supporter in eastern Europe (Bulgaria, I believe) of an ‘angel’ which supposedly proved that the Eastern Orthodox faith was the correct one (see also Satan’s Plan).

But the criteria for truth is the Bible and the Bible does NOT endorse the Eastern Orthodox faith nor Irvin Baxter’s interpretation of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Anyway, here is some information written by Irvin Baxter on his views on the four horsemen and Islam:

Revelation 6:1-8 depicts four riders on white, red, black and pale horses. These spirits have competed with each other and patrolled and dominated the earth for the entire last century. They certainly appear to fulfill Bible prophecies concerning the very Antichrist philosophic and political movements of Catholicism, Communism, Capitalism and Islam as we move towards the end of days.

The Fourth Horse “The Green Horse”

The translators of the King James Version of the Bible used the word “pale” for the fourth horse, which is better translated “green” from the original Greek word, “chloros.” Green is the universally identifiable color of Islam.

“And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with death.” (Revelation 6:8)

According to a 2013 report in muslimpopulation.com, Islam has 2.04 billion adherents, 23% of the world population, projected to be 2.8 billion by 2014. According to a 2013 report in The Economist magazine, over 70% of Muslims support Sharia law and 90% support execution of apostates.

The Mark of Islam: Death

The green horse is marked by death. Islam is associated around the world with the nearly 3,000 deaths in the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks, and the over 22,594 deadly terror attacks around the world since that time, according to thereligionofpeace.com. It is the culture of death. Yet, Islam claims to be the “religion of peace.” http://www.endtime.com/islam/ accessed 07/05/15

Is any or all of that right? And he is not the only one pushing this.

Here is something from a preacher named Ken Raggio:

Who are the Four Horsemen? Catholicism. Communism. Capitalism. Islam.
It’s in the Bible! …

THE FOURTH HORSE – The “Pale” Horse

NOW, I want to address one more very important component of this topic – the subject of the FOURTH HORSE – the Pale Horse. This one is too amazing to believe on first glance, but take my word for it; you WILL see the evidence shortly!

The translators of the original King James Version of the Bible (1611) gave us the word PALE for the fourth horse. Let’s look at how they came up with that. In the GREEK text, the word “chloros” is present. “Chloros” means GREEN. It is the same as seen in the world chlorophyll, which is the green color of plants. Obviously, the translators could not imagine a green horse, so provided the word “pale” instead. The Old Testament reference to the fourth horse in the KJV said, “grizzled and bay.” However, neither of those words appear in the ancient Hebrew. The best interpretation is “strong-colored” horse.

Therefore, when we look at the fourth horse in both Zechariah and Revelation, we see a “strong-colored” – “green” horse.

The universally identifiable color of Islam is green. Look at virtually ANYTHING that has to do with Islam, and you will see GREEN.

So, Islam is the green horse of death seen in Revelation 6:8. The prophecy there foretells Islam’s patrolling fully one-fourth of the earth, now 1.5 billion people.

Due to Islam’s growth and subsequent threats in even Western nations such as England, France, and Spain, anti-Americanism is flourishing in many new places. Islam is a driving force in more and more nations around the world, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Kashmir, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Turkey, all the Eastern Block nations of Europe, Russia, and many others. Radical extremism around the globe, including cells in America pose increasing threats to Israel and America’s futures.

DEATH is the trademark of the GREEN HORSE. Can anyone question the accuracy of that prophecy when Islam today is associated around the world with the nearly 3000 deaths in the World Trade Center attack of 9-11-01, and over 8,000 subsequent Muslim bombings around the world since that time? Where is this so-called “religion of peace”??

Muslim clerics cynically boast that the West loves life, but that Islam loves death. They teach their followers that the most glorious path to paradise is martyrdom – death by killing others while performing the act of suicide. …

In the first half of Daniel’s 70th week, (in the first 3.5 of the last 7 years before Armageddon) the Holy Roman Empire, also known as the European Union, backed by the Roman Catholic Church, will enjoy a short-termed renaissance, and global supremacy.

In the middle of that seven years, Antichrist will impose the Mark of the Beast with Roman Catholic Church endorsement.

But as Islam quickly takes over London, Madrid and other population centers of Europe, Islam is likely to challenge the Roman Catholic Church’s influence on politics. …

I predict that Islam will, at the end of the seven years, finally rise up to take control of Europe and simultaneously destroy the Roman Catholic Church. (Raggio K. The Four Horsemen of Revelation. Copyright 1988-2010. http://kenraggio.com/KRPN-CathComCap.htm)

Both Irvin Baxter and Ken Raggio teach that the first horse represents the Catholic Papacy, the second horse Communism, the third horse Capitalism, and the fourth horse Islam.

Now let’s again look at the opening of the fourth seal.  This fourth horsemen represents pestilence and death:

7 When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.” 8 So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth. (Revelation 6:7-8)

Irvin Baxter and Ken Raggio claim that this refers to Islam.  Yet, Islam has not been killing people with hunger and by the beasts of the earth (pestilence).  It has not killed a quarter of the earth’s population, nor will it.  Although it does appear to be prophesied to cause death (e.g. Psalm 83:4-8 ) and lands dominated by it look to be part of the final King of the South (Daniel 11:40-43), this would mainly be through terrorism and war.  Islam most assuredly is NOT the fourth horseman of the apocalypse.  Irvin Baxter and Ken Raggio are wrong about the identity of the fourth horseman, even if Islam does contribute to some of the prophesied deaths.

To determine why they are wrong we need to look at the Bible and world history while we consider each of the four horsemen individually.

The four horsemen are listed in the Book of Revelation chapter 6. They are listed sequentially and each one begins to ride after a seal is open.

The first horsemen represents a successful false ecumenical religion:

1 Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see.” 2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer. (Revelation 6:1-2)

Could this represent some version of catholicism as Irvin Baxter claimed?

Well, if catholicism means ‘universalism,’ which it does, and Irvin Baxter means a church that will use the term ‘Catholic’ to refer to itself, then yes, Irvin Baxter is correct. Basically, my read of scriptures, such as Daniel 11:36-38, Revelation 13:4-8, and Revelation 17, confirms that in the end time, a church of the city of seven hills that has political connections (Revelation 17) will be changed by the influences of a political leader (Revelation 13:1-10; Daniel 11:36-38) and false prophet (Revelation 13:11-18). They will be successful for a time, until their destruction will come (Revelation 19).

Now let’s look at the opening of the second seal. This second horsemen represents war:

3 When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come and see.” 4 Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword. (Revelation 6:3-4)

Irvin Baxter claims that this second horseman represents communism. That is not the case. While red is the color of the communists and communists have engaged in war, communism per se did not take peace from the earth. Communism did not cause either World War I nor World War II. Nor will communism cause World War III (see also World War III: Steps in Progress). Irvin Baxter’s interpretation of this is wrong.

Now let’s look at the opening of the third seal. This third horsemen represents food shortages and famine:

5 When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.” (Revelation 6:5-6)

Irvin Baxter claims that this third horseman is capitalism. That is not the case. Capitalism existed before communism, thus this interpretation of the third seal is in sequential error. God does not make those type of mistakes.

Furthermore, history suggests that communism causes more food shortages than capitalism. Irvin Baxter’s interpretation of this is wrong.

Now let’s look at the opening of the fourth seal. This fourth horsemen represents pestilence and death:

7 When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.” 8 So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth. (Revelation 6:7-8)

Irvin Baxter claims that this refers to Islam. Islam has not been killing people with hunger and by the beasts of the earth (pestilence). It has not killed a quarter of the earth’s population, nor will it. Although it does appear to be prophesied to cause death (e.g. Psalm 83:4-8) and lands dominated by it look to be part of the final King of the South (Daniel 11:40-43), this would mainly be through terrorism and war. Islam most assuredly is NOT the fourth horseman of the apocalypse (see also Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse). Irvin Baxter is wrong about the identity of the fourth horseman, even if Islam does contribute to some of the prophesied deaths.

Overall, Irvin Baxter is wrong about his identification of three of the four horsemen of Revelation 6. Yet, he has a significant following. Those who want to live as a Christian should pay attention to biblical prophecy, but need to be careful that they do not follow those that are in significant prophetic and doctrinal error.

While many prophecy watchers will rightly discount Irvin Baxter (and Ken Raggio), let me state that all real and claimed Christian groups outside of the Continuing Church of God that I have looked into related to prophetic teachings ALL have provably clear prophetic errors. Here is a link to some related to Protestantism: Dangerous Protestant Prophetic Errors. Some related to Catholicism are in the article Which Is Faithful: The Roman Catholic Church or the Continuing Church of God? And here is a link that has 30 prophetic errors related to the Laodicean COG groups: The Laodicean Church Era.

Protestants are not the only ones with prophetic error (see also Why Be Concerned About False and Heretical Leaders? and How To Determine If Someone is a True Prophet of God).

In the Continuing Church of God:

19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts (2 Peter 1:19, KJV).

The Bible says:

21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. (1 Thessalonians 5:21, KJV)

Ukraine in dark green, with Crimea in lighter green  (Rob984)

COGwriter

The Ukrainian press reported that NATO officially is pledging support:

July 10, 2016

NATO pledges more support for Ukraine and Georgia

NATO calls on Russia to use all channels of communication with the Alliance to address critical issues and challenges.

Heads of state and government of the NATO member countries have pledged more support for Ukraine and Georgia, the Alliance said in a communique issued on Saturday, July 9, at the conclusion of its two-day summit in Warsaw.

“We believe in a Europe whole, free and at peace. NATO will provide more support to Ukraine and Georgia, and continue to assist the Republic of Moldova,” the final communique said.

NATO also said the Alliance is committed to deepening its engagement with partners in the Black and Baltic Sea regions, and in the Western Balkans.

While many in Ukraine hope this means that it will become more tied to Europe than Russia, not all see this.  Notice a different take on the NATO meeting from a German news source:

July 9, 2016

If NATO is rattling its saber then it’s doing it very softly. In military terms, the four battalions it has agreed to station at its eastern border are not really a threat to Russia’s much stronger forces. Moscow is unlikely to be impressed by this increase in NATO’s capabilities.

Nor is that something anyone in NATO had expected. It was much more a matter of demonstrating unity – and about showing the Baltic states, which were once occupied by the Soviet Union, and the former countries of the Soviet-forged Warsaw Pact that NATO understands their concerns.

No one at NATO seriously believes that Russia intends to attack current NATO countries or to launch hybrid attacks against them as it did with its “little green men” in Ukraine. NATO’s reading of Russian President Vladimir Putin is that he’s after something else. He wants to secure Russian influence in Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Azerbaijan and Armenia. …

NATO’s Warsaw summit has set the tone for mutual interactions that are firmly grounded in realpolitik. But there are losers from NATO’s dual strategy of gentle saber rattling and dialogue: Ukraine and Georgia. They have to get used to the fact that Russia will long remain a thorn in their side and that there is nothing NATO can – or wants – to do about it.

The right response

Putin is to be fenced in where he is now. But the return of Crimea – or a retreat from Abkhazia or Transnistria – remains an illusion. http://www.dw.com/en/opinion-nato-has-the-right-strategy-toward-russia/a-19390634

Europe and the USA have given lip service about Crimea, but Russia has no intentions of returning it to a Ukraine that is looking towards NATO. NATO is not going to go to war against Russia for Crimea (Ukraine is not a member of NATO).

Russia wants to have nations on its western border to be allies of Russia, not allies of the USA. Russia has a lot of  influence in Moldova and still has influence in Georgia (though it is relatively more popular with those who live in Moldova than those who live in Georgia).

So what is ahead for Ukraine?

As I have written before, that is a bit tricky.

While Ukraine blames Russia for problems in eastern Ukraine, Russia tends to blame the Ukrainian government and NATO:

MOSCOW, July 8. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin, in a telephone conversation with German and French leaders Angela Merkel and Francois Hollande, has drawn attention to the provocative nature of the Ukrainian troops’ actions in southeastern Ukraine. “Vladimir Putin drew attention to the provocative nature of the actions of the Ukrainian troops in southeastern Ukraine,” the Kremlin press service reported. “In this regard, the Russian president urged his counterparts to more actively influence the Ukrainian side, including during the upcoming contacts with (Ukrainian President) Pyotr Poroshenko in Warsaw to ensure strict compliance with the Minsk agreements.”

The three leaders noted the need to intensify negotiations in various formats to ensure the full and comprehensive implementation of the Minsk accords. “(They) pointed to the viability of synchronizing efforts in the field of security and the political settlement, which includes provision of a legislative framework for a special status of Donbass on a permanent basis, Constitutional reform, amnesty and organization of local elections,” the Kremlin press service said. “They agreed to continue consultations on the Ukrainian issue at various levels.” http://tass.ru/en/politics/887115

MOSCOW, July 7. /TASS/. Russia is concerned by the redeployment towards Donbass of the Ukrainian army units trained by NATO instructors, the Russian ambassador to NATO, Alexander Grushko, said in an interview published by Kommersant Daily.

“Assistance programs NATO is implementing in Ukraine play into the hands of the ‘party of war’ and incite the feeling of a possible military revenge among some forces in Kiev,” Grushko said. “We’re also concerned by the redeployment of units trained by NATO instructors to the line of contact in Donbass.” http://tass.ru/en/politics/886821

Prophetically, there are a couple of options here.

Various ones believe that at least some of those in Ukraine descended from the ancient Medes. According to biblical prophecy, the Medes will end up supporting a Russian led confederation in the end times (e.g. Isaiah 13:1, 17-19). However, as there are ethnic differences in Ukraine, not all are Medes. This is part of why since late 2013, I warned that some type of split could occur in Ukraine. Years earlier (2008/2009), I also discussed religious splits there as well. We have already seen Crimea become part of Russia (officially and we may ultimately see Donbass and other parts of Ukraine as part of Russia or otherwise allied with Russia.

Also, if enough get disillusioned with the Kiev government, the EU, and the USA, we may see more in Ukraine concluding that they were better off working towards closer ties to Russia than the West.

That being said, the Bible teaches that the European Beast power will expand to the south and the east. Notice:

9 And out of one of them came a little horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the Glorious Land. 10 And it grew up to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the ground, and trampled them. 11 He even exalted himself as high as the Prince of the host; and by him the daily sacrifices were taken away, and the place of His sanctuary was cast down. 12 Because of transgression, an army was given over to the horn to oppose the daily sacrifices; and he cast truth down to the ground. He did all this and prospered. (Daniel 8:9-12).

And while the above has had a past fulfillment, this prophecy seems to be dual (compare with Daniel 11:27-39). The European Union has mainly expanded south and east of the Benelux nations Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg)–which is where it initially formed. Now, approximately 500 million people are now under a new, single (though not completely united) government, called the European Union, headquartered in Brussels. As the map at the beginning of this post shows, Ukraine is mainly east of much of the EU–thus its geography is consistent with being part of the EU.

But notice also:

1 The burden against Babylon which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw…

17 “Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them,
Who will not regard silver;
And as for gold, they will not delight in it.
18 Also their bows will dash the young men to pieces,
And they will have no pity on the fruit of the womb;
Their eye will not spare children.
19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms,
The beauty of the Chaldeans’ pride,
Will be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. (Isaiah 13:1, 17-19)

11 Make the arrows bright!
Gather the shields!
The Lord has raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes.
For His plan is against Babylon to destroy it,
Because it is the vengeance of the Lord,
The vengeance for His temple. (Jeremiah 51:11)

Biblically (because of prophecies involving the Medes, some of which are in Ukraine, and some in the “north and east” in Daniel 11:44), it would seem that Russia (a power of the “far north” Ezekiel 38:3,6) would be closer to at least parts of Ukraine (like some of the eastern portions of it) in the end, after the start of the Great Tribulation, than many realize. (There is also a YouTube video available titled Ukraine in Prophecy?)

The situation in Ukraine is still tense and more destabilization in Ukraine is likely.

James Dale Davidson of Strategic Investment posted the following:

There is nothing — absolutely nothing — that Washington can do to stave off the financial bloodshed that will be unleashed on millions of Americans as the dollar is dethroned.

For the unprepared, investment accounts will suffer as the stock market plummets 60% (or more), streets will be littered with foreclosed signs as millions are evicted from their once-cherished homes that were suddenly stripped of 50% of their value, millions more will be decimated as unemployment triples, while those on the sidelines, who think they are out of harm’s way, will be shocked as their life savings are vaporized by as much as 80%.

In over 30 years as an economist, I’ve predicted some of the biggest economic and geopolitical events in our lifetime, but I’ve never been more confident — than I am now — about what’s to come.

Remember, in 1987, I was one of the first to sound the alarm that the Soviet Union was about to collapse … in 1989, I predicted the Japanese depression that struck just one year later … I predicted the dot-com crash in 1999 … and I predicted the subprime mortgage crises, along with the collapse of the real estate market, years in advance.

Washington, Wall Street and most of America have ignored my dire warnings; to do it again would be a very dangerous risk to take.

And while America’s day of reckoning is unavoidable, there are practical ways to prepare — at this very moment — so that you can stay safe, and even prosper.

He also has a video where he claims that 57 nations have gotten together with a plot to overthrow the economic dominance of the USA.  He claims this will result in a 60% reduction in the stock market and a 50% reduction in property values.

Here is what J.L. Yastine says James Dale Davidson stated:

July 7, 2016

He showed me ironclad evidence that our fiercest enemies—and now our closest allies—have just formed a 57-nation alliance. They have one goal: to dethrone America as the world’s financial superpower…even if they have to dismantle the European Union to do it.

Taking documents from his briefcase, this man revealed how this “alliance” has already obtained a $47 trillion financial arsenal — 300% larger than that of the United States.

He exposed their exact plot, naming names and pulling reams of intelligence from his briefcase … diplomatic cables, photos, data sheets and more…

My stomach turned as he revealed why the financial fallout from this betrayal could equate to three Great Depressions — striking all at once — sending tens of millions of Americans from Starbucks lines to breadlines.

“Life savings will be vaporized by 80%. The stock market will plummet by 60%. Real estate will fall by 50%,” he warned. “Millions of seniors will go from luxurious retirement communities to government-sponsored nursing homes as Social Security and Medicare get slashed.”

He then handed me a video saying, “This reveals everything.”

Anyway, I watched parts of the related video and then saw a transcript.  Here is information from the transcript of the video of what James Dale Davidson said:

With a $47 trillion economic arsenal, this alliance has 3 times the financial strength of the United States … soon, it could be FOUR … even FIVE times as big.

Let that sink in for a moment.

For the first time ever, the MAJORITY of the economic world has banded together in a 57-nation alliance, and the United States is on the outside looking in.

Compared to the United States, this alliance presently has 15 times the population, 6 times the land mass, and its military budget is 1.7 times bigger.

Mark my words — the economic threat this 57-nation alliance poses is bigger than anything else America will face in the years ahead. It’s bigger than Iran’s nuclear ambitions. It’s bigger than the threat of Islamic terrorism. And it’s bigger than an all-out war with any number of our enemies.

Most unnerving of all, the evidence I’ve uncovered suggests this new 57-nation alliance has a clear plan to take America’s economy down. It won’t entail an attack in any military fashion … no guns or missiles will be needed. Their plan is much more calculated and stealthy than that.

One of my sources, an Austrian economist, disdainfully called their mission “a little experiment in revenge,” as one of the leaders of this alliance attacked America by saying it is “like a parasite.”

When they achieve their goal … and they will … millions of unsuspecting Americans will be crushed under an economic bombshell that will leave a trail of financial devastation unlike anything we’ve ever seen.

The stock market will collapse by 60% … wiping out $21.4 trillion in wealth, home values will get slashed in half … erasing $13.8 trillion in equity … and as my insider from the CIA says, “The dollar is going to collapse 80% or 90%,” obliterating $9.5 trillion in savings. …

Simultaneously, food prices will jump up as much as 300% and gas prices will increase to $6.00 per gallon … before making their way up to $7.00 and even $8.00 a gallon. …

These 57 nations already represent 62% of our global economy … that’s 3 times the economic power of the United States.

And more countries are lined up to join … indeed, 27 are scheduled to be ratified by the end of 2016. …

Russia is quietly corralling this alliance of nations that have lost trust in the U.S. dollar and that are fed up with a dollar-dominated world.

These recent headlines have exposed Russia’s intent…

• Putin Targets U.S. Monetary System — Zero Hedge
• Putin Wants U.S. Dollar Banned from Russian Trade — ValueWalk
• Russia Shuns Dollar — The Wall Street Journal

Early on, many of our leaders dismissed Russia’s threats, just like they dismissed the threat from ISIS.

However, things spiraled out of control when 23 nations quickly joined this new alliance in late 2014…

“23 Countries Now Abandoning U.S. Dollar”

Now, it was no surprise when Eastern countries like India, Saudi Arabia and South Korea quickly jumped on board.

But on December 3, 2015, everything changed…

The United Kingdom — America’s closest ally — didn’t just join this new alliance —they became a “founding member.”

Many saw it as the ultimate betrayal since they did it despite Washington publicly begging them not to join. There was even a headline in Reuters.

“U.S. Urges Allies to Think Twice
Before Joining [the 57-Nation Coalition]”

But the United Kingdom, for the first time in 70 years, ignored their plea.

Business Insider called it “a massive embarrassment for Obama.”

The Huffington Post called this action “the end of the American century.”

Forbes reported: “Britain’s decision is just a recognition of new realities.”

Once Britain joined the alliance, Australia, Italy, France, Germany and many more followed suit by the end of the month.

And in just the last few weeks, 9 nations — including Israel, Denmark and Finland — made the final step to becoming a member of this alliance. …

This alliance has already reached the key milestone for global dominance … these 57 nations represent 62% of the world’s economic power … 3 times the economic power of the United States.

An alliance with 15 times the population, 6 times the land mass and a military budget 1.7 times bigger than the United States. …

This alliance of 57 nations has already, albeit stealthily, declared a currency war. A war in which they have “pointed a gun” directly at the dollar.

They’ve already completed the first 3 of their 4-phase plan of attack.

• Phase I: Blatantly Ignore the Bretton Woods Agreement The first phase is to blatantly ignore the Bretton Woods Agreement. The agreement clearly states that all international trade is to be done in U.S. dollars. However, as Brazilian economist Ricardo Amaral recently said: “The U.S. dollar served its purpose since the end of WWII and became the major foreign-exchange reserve currency … (but) the days of the U.S. dollar playing that special role … has reached the end of the line … today that system is very sick.”China and Russia have already created their own $24 billion currency swap, and then did a $450 billion energy trade, directly … completely sidestepping the U.S. dollar. Others are joining in.

• Phase II: Create Their Own International Monetary Fund Phase II is to create their own International Monetary Fund (IMF). For the last 70 years, the IMF, located in Washington D.C., has fostered “global monetary corporation.”Now, this 57-nation alliance has come together to rival the IMF with their own umbrella organization — based in Beijing, China. It’s called the AIIB.

• Phase III: Create Their Own Currency ABC recently reported: “China is calling for a global currency to replace the dominant dollar, showing a growing assertiveness on revamping the world economy.”An article in China leaked that “a basket of currencies called the ‘AIIB currency’ would most likely be adopted as the bank’s currency for settlements.”Once these 57 nations agree on this basket of currencies, the dollar is doomed.

Now, I admit, when they release this new currency, which could be any day now … you likely won’t hear about it … simply because the media, Wall Street and our elected officials fail to understand the ramifications of such an action. http://pro.strategicinvestment.com/NDPCUR1/ENDPS437/Full

The AIIB (Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank) is something that the USA asked nations not to be part of, but many decided to join it anyway.  I have written about it in the past, starting first in October 2014 (see China and 21 other Asian nations take another step to break USA dollar dominance) and then in March 2015 that Europeans, like the Germans were coming on board with this program (see Europe is pivoting towards China and away from the USA). The next month, I reported that former US Treasury Secretary Larry Summers said the USA had just lost its global economic lead because of this (see Former Treasury Secretary: USA Lost its Global Economic Leadership Last Month).

Getting back to the video transcript, James Dale Davidson said:

The dollar’s day of reckoning is here.

America’s day of reckoning is here.

All this 57-nation alliance has to do is complete phase IV of their plan…

Phase IV: Trigger the Dollar
Collapse

Phase IV is to pull the trigger on the dollar collapse.

And they will do this by selling it in droves. …

Now, as this 57-nation alliance dumps the dollar, the greenback will start to collapse.

And fast.

The Federal Reserve knows this.

Which is why they are going in and buying their own debt. Just take a look at this chart. Our own Federal Reserve now holds more of its own debt than any other time in history. Nobody else will buy it. So they have to go in and buy it.

The time will come when the US dollar is totally worthless and will stop being a world reserve currency.

The Bible also has an end time prophecy that those who read it may want to run:

2 Then the Lord answered me and said:

“Write the vision
And make it plain on tablets,
That he may run who reads it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time;
But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. (Habakkuk 2:2-3)

What is this end time prophecy about that should cause people to run? It is a prophecy about debt accumulation:

6 “Will not all these take up a proverb against him,
And a taunting riddle against him, and say,
‘Woe to him who increases
What is not his — how long?
And to him who loads himself with many pledges’?
7 Will not your creditors rise up suddenly?
Will they not awaken who oppress you?
And you will become their booty.
8 Because you have plundered many nations,
All the remnant of the people shall plunder you (Habakkuk 2:6-8)

Getting back to the video transcript, James Dale Davidson says:

One day … maybe in a week from now, maybe in a few months from now … the full force of the financial hurricane will hit our shores.

You will wake up to the reality that the dollar is no longer the “world reserve currency.”

A white paper distributed by Project Censored describes what that world will look like:

The impact on daily living for the U.S. population could be severe. In addition to increased costs, states and cities will see their pension funds drained. The government will be forced to sell off infrastructure, including roads and transport, to private corporations. People will be increasingly charged for privatized utilities that were once regulated and subsidized. Commercial and private real estate will be worth less than half its current value. The negative equity that already plagues 25 percent of American homes will expand to include nearly all property owners. It will be difficult to borrow and impossible to sell real estate unless we accept massive losses. There will be block after block of empty stores and boarded-up houses. Foreclosures will be epidemic. There will be long lines at soup kitchens and many, many homeless.

Extreme?

Hardly. …

Day of Reckoning Fallout No. 1: The Collapse of the Dollar

The dollar will collapse, almost overnight. …

Day of Reckoning Fallout No. 2: Prices of Everything You Buy Will Double

Secondly, the price of everything we buy will double.

And not just because “when the dollar goes down, prices of every day goods go up.”

That is just the start. …

Day of Reckoning Fallout No. 3: Unemployment Triples

Right now the unemployment situation doesn’t look too bad. But once the dollar is no longer the “world reserve currency,” that financial sector will be blindsided. And while you might not be in that industry, those people make billions of dollars that they use to buy stuff — houses, cars, gadgets and more. My point is, there will be a ripple effect. I expect unemployment to triple.

Day of Reckoning Fallout No. 4: End of Social Security

Without the ability to print money, the 161 million Americans who have some form of government benefits will get hit hard. …

Day of Reckoning Fallout No. 5: Taxes Will Double

Tax breaks will be wiped off the books as Washington tries to stave off the carnage. This chart reflects how much money the U.S. government is collecting per year. It’s gone up nearly 50% in the last 5 years alone. Expect your overall taxes to increase from 30% to 40% to 50% and higher.

Day of Reckoning Fallout No. 6: Real Estate Will Plummet Home prices are going to fall by 50% in the next few years. …

Day of Reckoning Fallout No. 7: Stocks will Collapse by 60% (or More)

In the video transcript, James Dale Davidson, does not advocate the nation turning back to God, instead his survival plan is discussed:

Your Survival Plan …

It’s called The Day of Reckoning Survival Plan. …

When this next crisis hits, gold will again go up 300%, before going up even higher. …

I’m not the only one who believes this. In fact, in preparation for what’s to come, China secretly bought 604 TONS of gold since 2009, second only to … you guessed it, Russia.

The accumulation of gold by China has been covered here before (see China, Gold, and the AIIB). Various ones in Europe have been repatriating gold from the USA, like the Germans (see Germany is repatriating and accumulating gold–why?).

Here is something from my book Hillary Clinton, Prophecy, and the Destruction of the United States, 2nd edition: Is Hillary Clinton Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic Catholic, Hopi, and other America-Related Prophecies? What About Donald Trump?:

Since many are now questioning the role of the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency, more are looking into other currencies as well as gold.  Gold will set records in U.S. dollar terms.  When the U.S. dollar totally collapses people all around the world will consider that even if the Euro (or something similar) is strong, having a more gold-backed currency would be safer.  The collapse of the U.S.A. dollar will shake a lot of the world’s confidence in non-gold backed currencies. The Europeans do not have to have a perfect currency, only one that is perceived to be in better shape than the USA dollar.  Having the European power acquiring more gold to back the Euro or possibly another future European currency (that might potentially replace the Euro or even a basket of currencies) may greatly increase European credibility, prosperity, and influence around the globe, even if the backing is only implied. (Thiel B. Hillary Clinton, Prophecy, and the Destruction of the United States, 2nd edition: Is Hillary Clinton Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic Catholic, Hopi, and other America-Related Prophecies? What About Donald Trump? . Nazarene Books, 2015, p. 161)

Germany is getting more gold. The Bible teaches that the final King of the North will accumulate gold and take it from Egypt in Daniel 11:40-43; cf. Revelation 18)

In the video transcript, James Dale Davidson states.

While it may be America’s day of reckoning, it won’t be your day of reckoning. …

At this very moment, more countries are swearing allegiance to this 57-nation alliance … 27 are expected to make it official this year.

They already control the majority of the world’s economic power … soon, it will be 70% … then 80%.

They will dominate the money!

They will dominate the world!

The hurricane is already heading to our shores. Make sure your house isn’t on a sandy beach, but rather built high upon a rock.

You have to prepare, and you have to prepare today!

Now the video essentially ends up being a sales pitch for a newsletter I have never read.  In addition to gold, he makes comments about stocks and various currencies.

So, why bring any of this up?

Because, despite having misunderstandings of prophetic events, even secular sources are seeing that there is a trend to topple the USA as the world’s dominant economic power.

And, according to biblical prophecy that will happen–and it will be worse for the USA than what James Dale Davidson is claiming.

The Bible shows that a powerful international economic leader will arise (cf. Revelation 18) and it will NOT be the USA.

The USA, after having financial and other troubles (Mark 13:6-8) will finally be taken over.  Not just financially, but according to the Bible militarily.  Normally I would just quote Daniel 11:39, but this time first let’s also look at an earlier verse:

23 And after the league is made with him he shall act deceitfully, for he shall come up and become strong with a small number of people. 24 He shall enter peaceably, even into the richest places of the province; and he shall do what his fathers have not done, nor his forefathers: he shall disperse among them the plunder, spoil, and riches; and he shall devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time. (Daniel 11:23-24)

The ‘he’ is the final European King of the North power, called the Beast of the Sea in Revelation 13:1-10.  Notice that he gets in deceitfully and makes plans against “the strongholds.”  Notice what Daniel says this leader will later do:

39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain. (Daniel 11:39)

In the 21st century, the strongest fortresses belong to the USA and to a much lessor extent, its Anglo-Saxon descended allies. And while some do not believe that America’s European friends could betray it, the Bible teaches otherwise:

1 How lonely sits the city
That was full of people!
How like a widow is she,
Who was great among the nations!
The princess among the provinces
Has become a slave!

2 She weeps bitterly in the night,
Her tears are on her cheeks;
Among all her lovers
She has none to comfort her.
All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
They have become her enemies. (Lamentations 1:1-2)

The USA and Great Britain (including its Anglo-Commonwealth members, like Australia and Canada) were “great among the nations.” And the Bible is clear that betrayal is coming from national FRIENDS!

That betrayal will result in the complete end of USA dominance in the world.

Politicians will NOT be able to save the USA, nor its Anglo-Saxon descended allies (UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand).

The total end of the USA dollar will happen.  But it will not be as soon as James Dale Davidson seems to be claiming.

With the Republican National Convention less than two weeks away, moderate Republicans are drafting an amendment that would soften the GOP’s official position on gays and lesbians, CBS News has learned.

The party’s official stance on LGBT issues will be debated during next week’s meeting of the RNC’s platform committee, a 112-member group of Republican activists from around the country.

Outside Republican groups have been publicly pushing the party to modify its stance on same-sex marriage for over a year, but multiple sources told CBS News that the effort has officially taken hold among a group of platform committee members who are furiously polishing their amendment ahead of the party gathering in Cleveland.

It’s unclear if Donald Trump, the party’s likely nominee, supports the changes or is actively involved in shaping the platform.

Perhaps more surprising than the effort itself is the fact that staunch social conservatives from the Midwest and South are prepared to accept rhetorical tweaks. …

But the compromise that some delegates are expecting is the addition of “equality language.”

“Equality for all people,” is how one member of the platform committee described the language to CBS News. “That would be a hard thing for Republicans not to vote for.” …

Trump has positioned himself as a pro-LGBT candidate, especially since the mass shooting at a gay club in Orlando in June.

“Ask yourself who is really the friend of women and the LGBT community. Donald Trump with actions, or Hillary Clinton with her words?” Trump said after the shooting, during a speech on terrorism and national security in New Hampshire, a state that has legalized same-sex marriage.

His self-described ties to the gay community pre-date the 2016 election, by virtue of decades of socializing in celebrity circles and doing business in New York City. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/moderate-republicans-propose-softening-official-gop-position-on-lgbt/

Neither the Democrats or most Republicans seem to appreciate how dangerous the LGBT agenda is.

Consider that the Bible tells of an early event that occurred in the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah between three thousand and four thousand years ago:

24 Then the Lord rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the Lord out of the heavens. 25 So He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground. (Genesis 19:24-25)

And why did it happen?

7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. (Jude 7)

Homosexuality is a form of sexual immorality that involves going after “strange flesh.”

Why mention this in the 21st century?

Because God turned:

6…the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly (2 Peter 2:6)

Thus, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah were to serve as an example to those who would live as they did. Yet despite biblical warnings, many modern leaders are endorsing so-called homosexual “rights” and “same-sex marriage.” The Bible, however, warns about such leaders:

12…Those who lead you cause you to err, And destroy the way of your paths. (Isaiah 3:12)

16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err, And those who are led by them are destroyed (Isaiah 9:16).

So, leaders that ignore what the Bible teaches are leading others toward destruction.

Of course, not everyone in Sodom and Gomorrah were homosexuals as those that strictly practice that could not reproduce. Yet, notice that the destruction that hit their cities destroyed all that were there and notice that something like this is to happen again according to Jesus:

26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; 29 but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. (Luke 17:26-29)

Various ones can pretend that increasing “homosexual rights” is acceptable, but the Bible suggests otherwise. A marriage as the above indicates, as do other scriptures (e.g. Matthew 19:4-5), is between a man and woman (for more details see God Created Marriage). Not two of the same sex.

Homosexual acts are clearly prohibited in the Bible:

22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.  (Leviticus 18:22)

13 If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. (Leviticus 20:13)

Those who try to claim that the Bible does not clearly condemn homosexuality are intentionally misreading what it actually teaches. The Bible prohibits and condemns homosexual behavior–the Bible calls it an abomination!

But what about just accepting the LGBT agenda and not condemning it?

Consider that the New Testament teaches:

9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)

22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man — and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. (Romans 1:22-32)

If the Republican party, like the Democratic one has already done, approves the LBGT agenda, this is not good for the USA. Accepting the LGBT agenda will NOT help ‘make America great again.’

The USA needs the Kingdom of God.

NATO has concerns about Russia and the Brexit vote:

Brexit anxiety eats into NATO summit

July 9, 2016

Officially the talk at this week’s NATO summit in Warsaw was all about deterring a resurgent Russia, supporting Ukraine and Afghanistan, and protecting Baltic NATO members. But in the corridors, there was only one dominant anxiety – Brexit.

Britain’s referendum vote to leave the European Union has triggered uncertainty across the Atlantic and around the continent, which spilled over at the NATO event. Big time.

“It is probably not an exaggeration to say there is almost no other subject on the table when I get together with my colleagues,” Britain’s Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said of a Friday night dinner with his NATO counterparts.

“We are at a NATO meeting but most of the discussions have not been about NATO issues, they have been about the outcome of the referendum and the consequences.”

Outgoing Prime Minister David Cameron, greeted with more sympathy than reproach over the result which prompted him to resign, took every opportunity to reassure allies that Britain would remain fully committed to European and international security even though it was leaving the EU.

Indeed NATO officials said the British, who have Europe’s biggest defence budget, seemed at pains to compensate for Brexit by pledging more commitments to NATO operations.

U.S. President Barack Obama was keen to ensure Washington’s closest ally in Europe is not sidelined or punished by European partners as a result of a vote that he had warned against. http://in.reuters.com/article/britain-eu-nato-idINKCN0ZP0CW

Officially, NATO spent time attempting to deal with perceived threats from Russia at its summit, while unofficially the Brexit vote for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union was a major topic of concern.

Basically, as the above also indicates, the UK plans to remain part of NATO. Here is an article posted a couple of days ago by Kim Darroch, the British ambassador to the U.S.:

Rest Assured, UK Remains Committed to NATO

July 7, 2016

The UK will continue to be a strong and reliable ally, particularly in NATO. …

Just over a week ago, the British people, in one of the largest democratic exercises in our history, made a clear and robust decision to leave the European Union. This has prompted some to question the United Kingdom’s role in the world. However, the UK remains a great country. We will always be capable of thriving and prospering on the global stage. Our voice will always be prominent and we will continue to be a strong and reliable ally, particularly in NATO.

The UK has the world’s fifth-largest defense budget. We are – and will continue to be – leading members of NATO, the G7, G20, and the Commonwealth, and permanent members of the UN Security Council . . .

As leading members of NATO, we have always set the global standard for partnership forged by a mutual history of friendship and military cooperation. These are the values that despite the ocean between us bring us ever closer together and will continue to do so for generations to come. http://www.defenseone.com/ideas/2016/07/despite-brexit-nato-remains/129732/

While I do not doubt that the UK intends to be part of NATO, I do not believe that this should be a cause of assured rest.  For decades, I have wondered if it could end up being a trap.

While some prophecy watchers have improperly concluded that Russia is the prophesied “king of the North” of Daniel 11, thus they have tended to support a strong NATO, the biblical reality is that Russia is NOT biblically the power that is prophesied to takeover the USA and the UK.

Continental Europe, much of which is currently part of NATO, is prophesied to do that (cf. Daniel 11:39).

While various people will claim that the Europeans are the friends and allies of America and Britain, the Bible has the following warning:

1 How lonely sits the city
That was full of people!
How like a widow is she,
Who was great among the nations!
The princess among the provinces
Has become a slave!

2 She weeps bitterly in the night,
Her tears are on her cheeks;
Among all her lovers
She has none to comfort her.
All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
They have become her enemies. (Lamentations 1:1-2)

That passage in Lamentations has long brought to my mind an attack against the USA by its European allies in NATO. The USA and Great Britain (including its Anglo-Commonwealth members, like Australia and Canada) were “great among the nations” and this was basically prophesied to Abraham’s descendants (see Genesis 12:1-2; see also Anglo – America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel).  The Bible is clear that betrayal is coming from allies, national FRIENDS! And the US and UK do not consider Russia to be a friend.

It has long been my view that the USA and/or UK may be attacked under the guise of some type of NATO training exercise. NATO gives the Europeans cover for publicly preparing for a military event, while being able to publicly state that the preparation is only part of an exercise to assist the USA, UK, and Canada (who is also a member of NATO).

The Germans have historically used the element of surprise to gain military advantage and that is what I expect based upon various biblical prophecies. Notice one:

3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes (1 Thessalonians 5:3)

Furthermore, Europe has control over some of the USA’s nuclear arsenal and has an often overlooked nuclear capability (Can Europe really nuke the USA and UK?).  Europe also has been working on a new satellite ‘GPS’ communications’ system called Galileo that the USA announced six years ago that it will rely on for part of its (the USA’s) military defense (see USA GPS and EU Galileo linking was expected).  This will give the Europeans a unique ability to cause a blitzkrieg type war, possibly involving nuclear weapons, against the USA that it will not be prepared for.  One that will result in prophesied sudden destruction!

But what about the Brexit? The UK has decided it would happen:

Government REJECTS petition calling for second Brexit referendum

July 9, 2016

PM David Cameron has formally rejected a second Brexit referendum despite an official petition which received more than 4.1 million signatures. 

The petition, which was started by a Brexit supporter William Oliver Healey, urged a re-run in case there was a narrow Remain victory. 

However, the Government rejected the petition claiming it was now time to exit the EU and ‘ensure the best possible outcome for the British people’. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3682084/Government-REJECTS-petition-calling-second-Brexit-referendum-signed-four-million-people.html#ixzz4DvdiJN8a

So, despite complaints, Brexit looks like it will happen.

The Brexit will get many parts of NATO to pledge to keep the organization going and to strengthen it.  The UK did NOT vote to leave NATO, only the European Union.  The two are not the same. NATO is mainly supported by the USA, and the UK does not want to distance itself from the USA militarily.  But relying on the USA and NATO will NOT save the UK.

NATO is not what the world needs.  NATO likely will be a trap.

What is really needed is the return of Jesus Christ and the establishment of the Kingdom of God.

Alton Sterling just before being shot

COGwriter

There has been a lot of violence in the USA:

July 8, 2016

Dallas police say a deadly ambush Thursday that killed five police officers during a protest was a “well-planned” attack carried out by several people.

The U.S. military has confirmed one of the people, widely reported in U.S. media to be Micah Xavier Johnson, is a former Army Reservist who served in Afghanistan. Three other people, who have not been identified, are also detained in connection with the attack.

Cornered by police after the ambush, a suspect — believed to be Johnson — told a negotiator he wanted “to kill white people, especially white (police) officers,” and said he was acting alone and was unaffiliated with any groups, Dallas Police Chief David Brown said during a news conference Friday.

The suspect was then killed by police in an intentional explosion after talks broke down. Police used a bomb robot to detonate an unspecified explosive device near him, the police chief said.

Later in the day, Brown said the investigation, however, has “revealed to us this was a well planned, well thought out, evil tragedy by these suspects.”

“We won’t rest until we bring everyone involved to justice,” Brown added.

Ambush

The attack, which city officials labeled an “ambush,” happened toward the end of a demonstration against the killing of two black men by white police officers in Minnesota and Louisiana earlier this week. The suspect told police he was “upset” about recent police shootings, Brown said.

Seven other police officers and two civilians were wounded in the ambush, the city’s mayor said Friday morning.

The suspect told police they would eventually find bombs planted in the city; a suspicious package has been secured by the city’s bomb squad near the site of the attack.

City officials originally said multiple “snipers” were involved in the attack, but details of how many people were part of the ambush remain unclear. The Dallas police chief said one of the detained suspects is a woman. The other two suspects being interviewed, Brown said, were seen with camouflage bags, prompting officers to follow their car. …

About 1,000 people attended the Dallas rally to protest the shooting deaths of two men in Minnesota and Louisiana by police officers earlier this week. Both incidents, captured on video, led to demonstrations in many U.S. cities. http://www.voanews.com/content/shooting-in-dallas/3408984.html

Baton Rouge Police Department spokesman Cpl. L’Jean McKneely said police are “not aware” of a connection between the triple shooting on Gus Young Avenue and protests nearby related to the Alton Sterling fatal shooting case. …

Sandra Sterling, the aunt of Alton Sterling who had raised him, arrived at shooting scene and implored people to go home.

“Y’all going to keep fighting for my son?” she asked while crying.

Kimberly Williams-Cowart, who lives in the neighborhood, said these shootings make her fear for the safety of her 24-year-old son, who she described as “my life.”

“Our community is outraged. We are outraged not only about the shooting of Alton Sterling, but we are outraged over these shootings,” she said. http://theadvocate.com/news/16342399-55/reported-shooting-in-baton-rouge-on-thursday-night-near-scene-of-alton-sterling-shooting

ST. PAUL — Protests over the fatal shooting of Philando Castile by a suburban police officer stretched well into Friday morning near the Minnesota governor’s residence, as new details about the encounter emerged and many here continued calling for a federal inquiry.

Late Thursday night, the authorities said Mr. Castile, a 32-year-old cafeteria supervisor at a St. Paul school, had been killed by multiple gunshot wounds, and the medical examiner ruled his death a homicide. State investigators identified the officer who shot him as Jeronimo Yanez, a four-year veteran of the St. Anthony Police Department.

Much remained unknown about the events leading up to the shooting, about Officer Yanez’s background, and about whether the Justice Department would open a separate, federal investigation into the case.

All through Thursday, hundreds of protesters had gathered outside the governor’s residence in St. Paul, many prompted to act by the Facebook Live video streamed by Mr. Castile’s girlfriend showing the graphic aftermath of the shooting. Both Gov. Mark Dayton, a Democrat, and President Obama spoke out after the shooting, expressing concern about encounters with police officers that have left African-Americans like Mr. Castile dead. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/09/us/philando-castile-jeronimo-yanez.html?_r=0

Racially-motivated killing, like that done for sure by the Dallas shooter (and perhaps possibly by one or more of the police officers this week–and as that is being investigated that allegation is not publicly certain) is wrong.

Here are some comments from US President Barack Obama and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump:

July 8, 2016

“If communities are mistrustful of the police, that makes those law enforcement officers who are doing a great job, who are doing the right thing, that makes their lives harder,” Obama said, in his first public address from Warsaw. “When people say ‘black lives matter,’ it doesn’t mean that blue lives don’t matter. But right now, the data shows that black folks are more vulnerable to these kinds of incidents. There is a particular burden that is being placed on a group of our fellow citizens.”

Donald Trump, meanwhile, went a different path and put out a statement that expressed sorrow for the victims, but called for a return to “law and order” and less divisiveness.

“We must restore law and order. We must restore the confidence of our people to be safe and secure in their homes and on the street,” he said.

Trump then spoke of the earlier “senseless, tragic deaths of two motorists” in Baton Rouge and Minnesota, and offered “thoughts and prayers” for all the victims’ families.

“We pray for our brave police officers and first responders who risk their lives to protect us every single day,” he went on. “Our nation has become too divided. Too many Americans feel like they’ve lost hope. Crime is harming too many citizens. Racial tensions have gotten worse, not better. This isn’t the American Dream we all want for our children. This is a time, perhaps more than ever, for strong leadership, love and compassion. We will pull through these tragedies.” http://www.wnd.com/2016/07/obama-on-vicious-dallas-shootings-lets-remember-black-lives-matter/#T5id1ESItPItmGJu.99

Notice some of Joe Walsh’s view of Barack Obama (basically made before President Obama’s comments today):

July 8, 2016

Former Illinois Congressman Joe Walsh declared “This is now war” and called for President Barack Obama to “watch out” in a Twitter post reacting to the Dallas shooting that killed five police officers and injured seven.

“This is now war. Watch out Obama. Watch out black lives matter punks. Real America is coming after you,” he wrote in the tweet, which has since been deleted.

In subsequent tweets that remained posted as of early Friday, he called the shooters “uneducated black thugs” and blamed Obama and the Black Lives Matter movement for the officers’ deaths.

“I wasn’t calling for violence, against Obama or anyone. Obama’s words and BLM’s deeds have gotten cops killed,” he tweeted.

The Dallas police officers were shot during protest against police brutality Thursday, police there said.

An unrepentant Walsh stood by his tweets Friday morning, saying in a Tribune interview: “Of course I didn’t mean ‘let’s go kill Obama and Black Lives Matter.’ I was not trying to incite violence against Obama and Black Lives Matter. That’s crazy and stupid and wrong.”

He added: “It would end my career and it’s wrong. I would never say anything as reprehensible as that.”

Walsh, a talk radio host who lives in suburban Chicago, said he has had a sleepless night because of death threats against him on social media. He said he had asked for local police protection. …

The controversial tweet was posted at 10:56 p.m. Thursday.

According to Walsh, it was up for an hour or so when he received word electronically from Twitter that it had suspended his account.

“They said the tweet might look like it might incite violence,” he said.

He said he was allowed to reopen his account only if the tweet was deleted, which he said had happened without him taking action.

“Twitter, Facebook — they’re all liberal,” he said. “They’re private companies and they got their standards that I have to follow if I want to be on Twitter. It is what it is.”

“The pre-condition for me reopening my account was they had to delete that tweet,” Walsh said. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-joe-walsh-twitter-dallas-tweet-20160708-story.html

Although many had high hopes that racial tensions would lesson because of the 2008 election of Barack Obama as US President, that has not seemed to be the case.

As the USA moves further away from biblically-related morality and justice, increased violence is expected.

Violence, itself, often begets violence.

The Bible teaches:

9 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Enough, O princes of Israel! Remove violence and plundering, execute justice and righteousness (Ezekiel 45:9)

9…You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. (Romans 13:9-10)

As far as violence goes, the Bible shows that God is against violence and that destruction will come because of it:

23 ‘Make a chain,
For the land is filled with crimes of blood,
And the city is full of violence.
24 Therefore I will bring the worst of the Gentiles,
And they will possess their houses;
I will cause the pomp of the strong to cease,
And their holy places shall be defiled. (Ezekiel 7:23-24)

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality…30…violent, proud, boasters,…31…unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. (Romans 1:28-32)

8…And the violence of the land and the city, And of all who dwell in it. ( Habakkuk 2:8)

Notice the violence is prophesied to result in the worst of the Gentiles to come and take possession of houses–this will happen to the USA during the Great Tribulation (see also When Will the Great Tribulation Begin?).

There will be more violence in the USA.

Even now, it can be said of various cities in the USA, “the city is full of violence.”
