  • The Time Is Coming

    History repeats itself. This is something I have learned at UTA. Is that, when something happens in History, it happens again. Something has to break the cycle. A miracle. But what miracle would that be? America is Lukewarm towards Israel- not a good sign. At a time when the world is united against Israel and the Jews. You see it at the United Nations, and in the way the News handles the stories about Israel. Yes, sure Israel launches airstrikes against Syria, but CNN never reports the missiles that Hezbollah attacked Israel with.

    Someone shared this riddle with me:

    Tooth for tooth, limb for limb, eye for an eye, life for life- 400 years of slavery for 400 years of slavery. Also is the Golden Rule, which comes from Jesus: “Do unto others, as you would have done unto you”. More and more, they talk about reparations as well. You know, repayment of the blacks for slavery. Also Project 2025 was rejected- in favor of Project 1619. What am I talking about?

    The coming enslavement of white Americans. The riddle I shared above is rooted in scripture, where Jesus quotes part of the Law of Moses. But the person who shared the riddle added the phrase “400 years of slavery for 400 years of slavery”. Now, the Democrats would have stopped it. But the Democrats have been defeated by Trump. What is more, Democrats are quickly being tied to the Epstein scandal. There will not be a white Democrat President for a thousand years, when Trump is finished.

    On top of this, I found a video on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1FW1Vb3xsz/

    If you follow that link, they discuss the return of slavery to North America. It won’t happen over night. First will come the “discrimination”. Reverse discrimination as President Obama called it. Where, you or me will not be allowed to enter McDonald’s for example, or the grocery store, or any places like that. Why? Because for 100 years, the blacks faced this same dilemma. Because of the color of there skin they could not enter any restaurants. There freedom was used to make them wish for slavery. What will you do when you can no longer just buy food?

    Slavery is wrong. It is a crime against humanity. But nevertheless, America had slavery. Even as it birthed the Constitution and Bill of Rights, they had slavery. Any attempts to end slavery were shutdown. Now one part of society, the blacks, have endured slavery, now its our turn! Trump has a heart of gold though- Trump wants all Americans to be equal. See how Trump really does love America- and he is going to honor the will of the American people, and preserve America. But to do it, we will go through the darkness of slavery for 400 years.

    But according to my source- there will be a revival! In the midst of shame and suffering, people will turn to Jesus. Because there will be nowhere else to turn too. How will you get food? You will learn to go to your master and beg. How will you get cloths? From your master. So, you see, there are benefits to slavery. You will be fed, and clothed.

    I will go more into detail another time. I apologize, no updates and no scriptures, other than whats quoted in the link I shared. But remember this- Jesus is the Light. Whatever comes, stay focused on Jesus. For him that endures, there is a crown, and He will wipe away all tears! God bless you.

  • Distractions

    So, today I woke up at just before 11. I wanted to share this meme below, but I kept getting distracted. I intended to share it last night.

    Searching this image on Google, I found a number of sources sharing it. It is such a haunting reminder, that those who follow Jesus will suffer persecution. Jesus said this would happen. Yet, the Fake News is completely silent about this. Why?

    I used to have a map above my bed. From Voices of the Martyrs, and it showed every country where there is persecution. My Mom introduced me to VOM when I was in high school. I would sit by the heater, and read VOM and WORLD and I learned so many things from doing that. But one thing I am certain of is, that CNN, and even Fox News ignore persecution- because the scarry thing is, they are on the side of the persecutors. Thats quite an accusation. But Jesus Himself said this would happen.

    Imagine for a moment, not being able to get food- and your crime is that you belong to the Son of Man. It is a very sobering reality, and it seems everyday the persecution gets more and more intense. But there is a beacon of hope in it all-

    China

    One of the places where persecution has been the most intense, is China. Those people go to jail for going to church, praying, worshipping, and reading a Bible that is NOT state approved. They have every reason not to go to church, and yet they go. I don’t believe its in vain either. I believe, that one day, China will be a Christian nation. It will turn China into a power. As Christianity spreads in China, it will become something that the government cannot stop- and it already is. There power is in danger, to the One who sits on the throne!

    I don’t know of any way to help these Christians in Sudan. That was one thing I liked about Mike Pompei is that he was attentive to the persecution, during Trump’s first term. I regret that the media will not highlight that either- what Trump is doing to help the persecuted church. Bush did some things in Iraq, and they did not share this either.

  • Rejoice In Our Salvation

    Philippians 4:4 Always be joyful in the Lord! I’ll say it again: Be joyful!

    Philippians was written by the Apostle Paul. He wrote it from prison. Yet, it is considered the “Book of Joy”! But what is this joy about? It is about our salvation. This joy is not just something we produce in response, but is also imparted to us from the Holy Spirit.

    Context, or the “Big Picture”

    Sometimes, you will see me mention the word context. Or maybe you have seen me say, “The Big Picture”. Thats a phrase I picked up in the NAVY as a GCCSM tech. We always would focus on the big picture, and keeping the big picture available to all ranks of people in the NAVY. The Bible has a context, or a “Big Picture”.

    I am only sharing one verse. But sometimes, when I see a meme, or a scripture on Facebook, or share one, I will be asked why I share one scripture and not another. My answer to them is, “Why not just share the whole Bible”. But everyone has a favorite verse that sticks out to them. My favorite verse is John 3:16 For God so loved the World that He sent His only begotten Son into the world, that whoever believe on Him will not perish, but have eternal life. See how it sticks out to me.

    Maybe there is a scripture that sticks out to you, as well. I believe the whole Bible is important, yet I share only a portion of scripture. Yet, even Jesus Himself, would share portions of scripture to illustrate His point. He knew, and His listeners knew there was a context to scripture. That context is the Gospel, or the Goodness of Jesus.

    So, we know that Paul in Philippians discussed salvation previously, to this verse. So, we can tell, without quoting those scriptures that Paul is telling us to rejoice in our Salvation. In other words, we can have Faith that we are saved. This is why sometimes, I just quote one verse, and use it because the context, or Big Picture, of scripture is always the same.

    I just finished watching the betrayal of Jesus, in The Chosen, with my Dad, and thought to write this scripture. I explained the context, and who it is who provides the joy for us! We alone, cannot produce the peace of Jesus, but the Holy Spirit does that. So, just as He produces the Peace of Jesus, He also produces the joy in our salvation! See how, we don’t have to have all the answers!

    Hobby Lobby

    My Dad suggested that I apply to work at Hobby Lobby. One reason why, is because they are closed on Sundays. So, I went and asked if they were hiring. The cashier turned to her manager, and the manager said they were not hiring. Nevertheless, so they know I want to work there, I am going to bring my resume over, and give it to the manager. The Christmas season is coming up.

    Prior to going to Hobby Lobby, I went to Batteries Plus again. I paid for the battery I ordered. I did not figure out when it comes in, but the lady I talked to mentioned something about Friday. So, I will check back on Friday. I am on a quest to reconnect with some old friends. To tell them, of the story, where God answered my prayer. The one I prayed at the House of Prayer, with them. I have not spoken to them, in about 10 years. I wonder how they are doing?

    Well, I just thought I would provide an update to my blog. Here it is, almost Tuesday in a few minutes. I hope this post finds you all well.

  • Tidbits From My Day and Israel

    Greetings, I am just writing a little about my day. Plus, I want to write about Israel a little bit. I have been reading, off and on, Bibi’s book. It is pretty good, and he is so honest in it too. I appreciate it. Sometimes authors like, but the Prime Minister of Israel comes out punching.

    Anyways, I made pizza!

    Just Pepperoni for me please. I don’t especially like onions in my pizza. They are a nasty surprise when I have had them. But Pepperoni is my favorite. The O’Connell family introduced me to pepperoni, and it was love at first sight.

    I visited my Mom for a bit. I told Mom about God answering my prayer. She explained that she loves God even when He doesn’t answer prayer, but I believe He will! He has so far.

    Eventually, the government, may require things of us. But we must stick to what the Bible says. Let us keep our eyes on the prize, eternal life, and press forward serving Jesus. He died for us, and rose again, and He is our Savior. There are complex details to it all, but in a nutshell that is what I believe about the Bible. There is nothing I want from this world. This is why I voted for Trump- so I would not be conformed to this World.

    Israel

    This is what Bill Maher had to say. I believe he is an athiest, and yet even he sees the hypocrisy towards Israel. When Israel defends itself, the DemoKKKrats call it a war crime. The Fake News consistently ignores it when Hamas attacks Israel too. Just like they ignore the attacks against Christians in Nigeria, and elsewhere. The World is quickly uniting against Israel and the Church. Thus, why the world ignores one side of the conflict in each case. Because they ignore the Christians in Nigeria, there is silence. Yet- they cannot name one place where Muslims peacefully co-exist.

    Israel is God’s chosen people. The Jews are the people of Salvation. Without the Jews, we would have all died in our sins, unable to approach God. See how God told Abraham- “Your people will bless all the nations” and this is exactly what happened. My favorite verse in the Bible is John 3:16. It is a good one to know. Because it speaks of the blessing, which God promised to Abraham about 2000 years before.

    I do not know what lays instore for us in Paradise, with Jesus. But I know its worth it. Jesus promises us a crown! Eternal Life and a crown. That is hard to beat. More and more as the days pass by, I find myself leaning on the everlasting arms of God my savior. Although, I know its not popular, and won’t cause everyone to like me, I know that God loves me, and will provide. I keep Him close in prayer. God has answered my prayers, more than once. But I will share the most memorable with you, someday! So you will know God answers prayer, I will share more than one example where I have seen God answer my prayers. Rest assured, one day Jesus will unite His Church and Israel together. But before that happens, we must endure the “Shadow of the valley of Death” as it says in Psalm 23.

  • An Update

    Today, I had more car troubles. I went for a drive, towards Abilene, but had to turn back at Weatherford. This was because my front bumper was lose. Later, during the day, I took my car to the Paint and Auto Body shop in Kennedale. The man there, I don’t know his name, but he screwed the bumper to the frame. So, it should prevent the bumper from falling off. Though, it still might come lose again. I am not sure why it does that. It is annoying.

    Yesterday, I talked to Mary. She told me that her daughter, Amy, and her husband moved to Texas. She said where they moved, but I forgot already. I have memory problems. I was so excited to hear that though, I wish they could all live in Texas. I also told Mary about my adventure at KCBI. Then, after that I went to eat at Raising Cane’s.

    It has been storming. I prayed last night that it would storm, harder than it has ever stormed before. I love a good storm. My Mom does to, and sometimes I go over during a storm, and listen to it with her. Its fun.

    Right now, I am listening to Jack Graham. His program is so uplifting. I listen on KCBI, my go-to for Christian programming. His program is edifying, and convicting too. After Jack Graham, Tom Pennington comes on. Have you ever heard of Tom Pennington? His teaching reminds me of Pastor Ganger’s teaching.

    You need ID for everything else. Why don’t you need an ID to vote? Its so they can allow cheating. That is why. They call us “racist” because we want voter ID. But, is it racist to ask for ID at the bank? At the liquor store? To buy cigarattes? Everything else we do, we need an ID- except for voting. This is an obvious loophole. Don’t be fooled by the Dem strategies! Trump is right. We need voter ID! All the states where Trump won, they had voter ID. That was according to Fox. Originally, only those who owned land could vote, so that is why at this juncture we do not have voter ID. But it should be a National requirement. But the DemoKKKrats are the authors of confusion. That is why they want to introduce another voting method, that even its description sounds confusing. I will discuss it at some point. I can’t remember the title of the voting method, but I was turned off from it immediately, on hearing the title.

    I just wanted to share a little bit about Jesus. Sometimes I forget to, but I saw this meme, and made sure to share it. Jesus loves you. John 3:16 For God so loved the World that He sent His only begotten-Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. God hears our prayers. Be careful what you pray form, because you will probably get it. I know this to be very true. James 5:17 Prayers offered by those who have God’s approval are effective. It makes me think I have God’s approval, because He has answered my prayers- more than once. God is still able. Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God crated the heaven and the earth. God crated then, and He is going to create again, when He creates the New Heavens and the New Earth. I believe Jesus is coming back. I don’t know the exact date, or when the rapture will happen, but the Bible tells me, these things will happen. God is a deliverer. Jesus will deliver His Church from the tribulation. I believe Jesus will unite His Church and Israel. One day, the Jews will be eating Bacon with Jesus! God bless you!

  • The Coming Persecution

    It is already happening around the world. The Fake News Media, doesn’t discuss it. But in many places around the world, becoming a Christian is a crime. Owning a Bible, means jail time. The government in China beats people who attend services at places, other than state run churches. The main stream, Fake News Media will not discuss Christian persecution, because they have embraced the Godlessness of the same people, who are persecuting Christians abroad. It is coming to America soon. We will not have Trump forever.

    I wanted to share a few images with you. At the very end, I will post a YouTube as well.

    The first image I shared, is of an e-mail that Voice of the Martyrs sent. It discussed the hardships being experienced by Afghan Christians, forced to return to the Taliban. While the DemoKKKrats fight for illegal aliens, in this country, not a word about those Christians who desire religious freedom being persecuted. The news is from JUly 9 2025.

    I remember this story, very well. It comes from Acts. The Apostles were teaching, in the name of Jesus. They were whipped, and commanded by the High Priest, not to teach in the name of Jesus. But the Apostles responded, with this phrase. As I have pointed out, Trump will not be President forever. He is holding back a tidal wave of persecution, of the Church in America. He is giving them what for too. But in the mean time, they cannot persecute the Christians because Trump is President. But, we did see what the persecution will be like. During COVID, they shutdown churches, yet bars remained open. Worship centers were stormed by SWAT Teams, and boarded up. Even here in Texas, the church I went to was closed. Yet, you could still go out, and get a beer. This was backwards. It was a nightmare.

    After Trump left office the first time, the Biden administration continued the persecution. By hounding churches, over there stances on his policies, especially his policies allowing young boys, into the female locker rooms. Believe me, the persecution is coming, and I am here to warn anyone who will read it. If you error on the side of the Bible, you will be persecuted. God made us men or women. It is God ordained. You, nor me can change it.

    You think, that by ignoring the persecution, that God is somehow going to spare us? That is ludicrous thinking. It needs to stop. Wakeup America!!!

    Encouragement

    This was an image, and scripture shared by my Aunt Janet. I love the scripture. It comes from Philippians. Paul, wrote this book of encouragement, from prison. I had no idea, while I was reading it for 30 days, on a challenge by a Pastor I know. Yes, the persecution is coming, but for those who endure to the end a crown awaits them!

    Anyways dear readers. You might be wondering, how I am doing. Now that we have discussed the coming persecution. Let me enlighten you. I had Burger King today, as you can see from the picture. Burger King has started, on Wednesday’s having a $4.99 Whopper Special. So, on Wednesdays me and my Dad eat Burger King. Its delicious.

    Tomorrow, I am hoping to attend the KCBI Prayer Day. I have some items I want prayed over. For other people, and myself. Sometimes it feels like things are falling a part. But I just remind myself, that things are actually falling into place. Today, was one of those days where I had to remind myself of that.

    Thank you for reading my writing. As promised, I am including a YouTube video, that I hope will be informative. It jives with my topic, of the coming persecution in America. I believe the persecution will come from within, and without the Church. Alas, here it is the YouTube.

    Enjoy! Remember to pray for America. Trump will not always be President.

  • Mom’s House

    I am at my Mom’s house. She just got back from teaching, not to long ago. Mom is such a hard worker. All she wants to do when she comes home, from teaching, is sit in her recliner. I just found out that my nephew, is having surgery on Thursday, to have his tonsils removed. He is such a brave little boy. I hope he will be alright. I never had my tonsils removed. So, I am not sure why people get there tonsils removed.

    Anyways, I am just sitting at my Mom’s house, enjoying her company, and her dogs. I was playing Eve Online. I bought a new cruiser on there, a Thorax. I should have bought a Vexor, because of the drones. But, its just that in my mind, the Thorax looks like a cruiser. I will upload a picture of it, at some point. I am waiting for some of the skills to train. So, I popped off, to write this blog post.

    The dogs are playing in the background. They always get worked up. I think its because they have very little space to run around. I feel bad for dogs, when they are cramped up like this. Its no wonder they bark all the time. My Mom keeps her dogs pinned up, while she teaches, too.

    I just finished my coffee. Mom will probably offer me a coke. After my collision, I cannot just sit still. So, Mom will give me a coke, and we will watch a little bit of Fox, or Cops. I can only sit, for as long as the coke lasts though. Then, after I finish the coke, I just head home. Its relaxing, though to watch some Fox or a little bit of Cops. You really can see, some people really need Jesus in that show. Like, the way they act towards the police is so disrespectful. It makes me glad, that we have President Trump back in Office.

    “No Kings”

    Some people get it confused about the “No Kings” protests. The protestors are not protesting against having a king- rather they are protesting for a King of America. They want a King, plus they oppose President Trump. Its all a part of the Beast System of the AntiChrist. By having no King, America has had Jesus as there King for 250 years. But now, they want to depose our Blessed savior as King, and install whoever they want as King. The AntiChrist system is alive, and well.

    America has been drifting from God, and this is why we need Trump as President. If we have no God, no King Jesus, then we need Trump. Trump is like Moses, going before God on our behalf. I believe God is chosen to lead America, and to bless America.

    I found a Meme on Facebook. There was a verse on the meme from Numbers. Its a benediction. I wanted to share it here with my readers. Numbers 6:24-26 The Lord bless you, and keep you: the Lord make His face to shine on you and be gracious to you: The Lord turn His face towards you and give you peace.

    There is a song, with those verses in it. I am spoiled, because I listen to KCBI, and they play it each day. But its nice to know where the scripture comes from. I hope you found it to be encouraging. My Mom prompted me to share the verses on my blog.

    In these days, I keep scripture close by. On my phone, I have scripture memes, and my Bible. I read about once a day. Last night, I read about Jesus arrest. It is always so sad, that Peter denied Jesus. But its important to remember, that later, Jesus forgives Peter. It seems, Jesus would have forgiven Judas too. Here is another scripture I found in a meme. The words of Jesus:

    Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

    I believe these words are being fulfilled even today. Because I am sad, but I feel comforted- peace. I think its Jesus giving me, that peace “without understanding”. I don’t understand how I can be sad, yet at peace. But I am. I think that is a good sign.

  • This Is Not The End. But It Is The End Of The Beginning

    This title is a quote from Winston Churchill. I have to share another quote from Winston Churchill tonight! “Britain will never, never, never surrender!” That is what Winston Churchill said to the British people, and to Hitler, during the Nazi bombing of London. Hitler and the Nazis could not defeat the United Kingdom, so neither will the terrorists! Oh, yes, they will gain control of the government, the military, even the nukes- for a time! But a day will come where they will regret ever laying eyes upon Dover! Trust in the Lord, for He is good!

    Great Britain had an impact in this world, for the sake of Jesus. Jesus will remember His friends. Jesus loves true, heartfelt repentance. I believe the British people, need to repent, and return to Jesus! There first love.

    I am writing this post, because during my time playing Europa Universalis III, trying to form Germany, England always ends up an ally, and in a Personal Union with Prussia. So, I think about these things while I play the game. Something I have noticed, is, when England is defeated, she becomes weak!

    But Britain, will never surrender. In fact, Great Britain will rise again, someday, when her original colonial powers realize the impact she had, for the sake of Christ Jesus! She spread the English language. Was there abuse of power? Oh, certainly there was! Anytime someone has absolute power, there will be corruption. For sure! This is a part of living in a fallen world. “For all have fallen short of the glory of God”, is in the Bible I read!

    Because of the inspiration from there relatives in England, the Germans will have a victory too! Someday, there will be British and German victories again! Because these countries first loved Jesus Christ. But they loved Him, because He first loved them. I have for seen it! Jesus will be victorious! God bless you, and thank you for reading this!!

    The LORD knows the way of righteous people, but the way of wicked people will end

    Psalm 1:6

  • My Week

    So, this week has been filled with nothing but work. I have had little time to enjoy World of Warcraft. I have not read much either. I invested in an unfruitful relationship with a young woman. Unfortunately, things did not work out. I feel, she may have just been after money. She wanted $25. Of course, with my current finances I could not oblige. She asked me not to contact her again. This is unfortunate to me.

    This happened Wednesday night. It was just after I got paid. But I have bills to pay, so I could not oblige her. I really wanted to though. I really felt she was my link to experience a certain kind of life. She was pretty, and very savvy.

    I started back on my course with Hillsdale College. Hillsdale college offers free college level courses, on different subjects. One of which, I took was Ancient Christianity. It took a while, but finally we ended up at St. Augustine, who wrote “The City of God”, insinuating that though, Rome had fallen, the City of God is eternal. He also pointed out, that Rome had fallen once before. The work, was based on Psalm 48. I wanted to share a particular passage from that Psalm, that the professor read:

    Psalm 48:4-7

    The Kings have gathered. They march together. When they saw Mount Zion they were astonished. They were terrified and ran away in fear. Trembling seized them like the trembling that a woman experiences during labor. With the east wind you smashed the ships of Tarshish.

    I shared this, because as I mentioned, City of God by the author St, Augustine was based on this Psalm, and this particular passage. So, descriptive of how God deals with His enemies- He doesn’t have to do anything. They will tremble in fear, when they witness him.

    I also learned about the back and forth between the sons of Constantine. Constantine the II, Constance, and Constan who all were fighting for the throne. To be emperor of Rome. I also learned in detail about Constantine’s vision of Jesus, telling him to conquer under this sign. The sign of the cross was emblazoned on the shields of his soldiers- and he won the Battle. Also the Edict of Molan. Which granted tolerance towards the Christians, for the first time in the West, and in the Roman Empire. This change was warranted, said the professor, because of the profound influence of Christians throughout the Roman Empire. They were soldiers, and courtesians who all worshipped Jesus now. But Constantine did not become baptized until he was on his death bed.

    Also, Constantine founded his capital, not in Rome, but in the city of Constantinople. Which he built, for his name sake. This city was later captured by the Ottoman Empire in 1453! It was renamed Istanbul. Because I ended up discussing the story of Constantinople and Istanbul, I guess it is only fair to share this song:

    Thank you for reading my blog! God bless you. Enjoy the music.

  • It Rained And Got Hot On The Same Day!!

    I woke up, this morning, it was raining. Pouring really. I was impressed, thought we might get flooded out. But then, it got hot! Almost all the water is dried up.

    Tonight I have to go to work. I start at 9PM, in Garland, Texas. Soon, I will start heading towards there. My Dad suggested taking the George Bush Turnpike, said it goes straight to Garland. It is at an apartment complex. But for now, I am letting my phone charge.

    I really enjoy my phone. It has a lot of memory (120gigbytes). I have a lot of images saved on there. The battery is a little bit weak. But as with all Androids, its very sturdy. SOmetimes, I throw my phone. I had an Apple, once, through it, and guess what? The phone shattered!

    The Apple iPhone is not cheap. So, everyone reading this knows, I lost a lot of money. I only had that phone for about a month. I wish I had known better. I enjoyed listening to music on it. But, I don’t remember that much about it, as compared to the Android. I found myself confused.

    Anyways, enough about phones. I am writing this- and I have a lot of memes on my phone, and on Google Photos. Maybe I will share one of those. Before I do that, I want to share a link for a publication I sometimes see, on iCampus.

    https://www.icr.org/article/15334/

    Although not all seed will come to fruition, it must be sown throughout the world.

    It is from the Institute for Creation Research. The article is titled “The Good Seed”. It describes the “Seed” as being some of the imagery the Bible uses. To describe God’s Word, and the Gospel. The message of hope!

    Sadly, John MacArthur is in the hospital. He is not expected to recover, and the service at GCC (Grace Community Church) in San Diego, was delivered by someone else. I was not familiar with them. But I watched a video, in which prayers were offered for John, and his family! Soon, it seems, John MacArthur will be in the presence of the Savior!

    Speaking of California. We have been bamboozled once again. So, in 2020, it was ok to loot, riot, and burn. But when Americans went and stood with Trump, peacefully, that was called an insurrection. Once again, they were trying to pull that same stunt. But as we see from this image, the riots in Los Angeles are anything but peaceful. It is clear, that the Mayor and the Governor, have lost control of the once great city of Los Angeles. People have begun calling for them to change the location of the Olympics! Pray for Los Angeles. God bless America!
