A wake up call for America: stop pressing snooze

Unless you have been hiding in an igloo like Al Gore has during these frigid temps, most of us know about the events in Egypt. However, what a lot of us don’t know is how this directly relates to America.There are three basic points America must understand in order to grasp somewhat of an idea of what is happening, what Americans should learn from the current situation and where we go from here.

There are three basic points America must understand in order to grasp somewhat of an idea of what is happening, what Americans should learn from the current situation and where we go from here.

OIL: The uprising in Egypt should serve as a reminder to all Americans that we must drill for oil here and we must do it now! How hypocritical of the left to wave their anti-war sign ‘’no more blood for oil” but yet due to their over sensitive environmental concerns, America is prohibited from domestic drilling and forced to protect our sources overseas. The left is screaming about how we shouldn’t be supporting dictators like Mubarak and nations like Saudi Arabia (hmm…didn’t see them up in arms concerning the brutal dictator Saddam Hussein) and they are absolutely right. However, thanks to them they have put us in this situation because their fear of killing a water bug overrides that of national security.

The events in Egypt also serve as a reminder as to what took place in 1973 when OAPEC (Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries) placed an embargo on oil because America supported Israel in the Yom Kippur war thus exploding oil prices and creating a real problem for Americans to refuel at the pump. This is just the tip of the ice berg as to what can happen when we place our biggest necessity in the hands of regimes that have the oil joystick at America’s expense. The Muslim Brotherhood just recently called to cut off the Suez Canal where if that happened, it would remove two to three million barrels a day of oil. America must stop putting ourselves in this vulnerable spot.

DEFENSE FIRST: Those of us who remember the morning of September 11, 2001 as if it were yesterday, realize America is vulnerable to those who wish to harm us. That is why when America elects an administration that does not have America’s safety as the number one priority; it presents an opportunity for America’s enemies to not only attack us but America’s allies. I’m not saying that the economy isn’t important. What I am saying is that if America awakes one day to an EMP attack (electro-magnetic pulse) which would place us a lot further back than the Great Depression, we can kiss goodbye debating about renewable energy and electric cars because American’s will be peddling Flintstone style.

What is taking place in Egypt is a clear example of what can happen within other nations where terrorist groups lurk to take over and initiate their Islamic Jihad goals. I hear a lot of pundits talk about Jordan, Turkey and Syria perhaps following suit however the one nation that hasn’t been mentioned as much is Pakistan or as Obama says in his language: Pahk-ee-stahn. Pakistan is on its way to becoming the fifth largest nuclear state and there are already rumors of a possible uprising taking place. No worry though because the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is really going to increase America’s military numbers! We’ll be able to stretch our military from sea to shining sea for sure now!

If America doesn’t put our defense on the forefront, every single issue we are trying to tackle will be meaningless. Unless we flex our military muscles just like Iran, China, North Korea and Venezuela are doing, America is going to be caught way off guard. I guess as in the case of Barack, if you have no muscles to flex that is the opportune time for radical regimes to rise up.

PROTECTING ISRAEL: Fear is raging, and it is raging through the veins of our dearest ally in the Middle East ,Israel. Israel has seen this ‘’uprising’’ before and they have every single right to be concerned. In 1979 the Shah was ousted due to the ‘’uprising’’ of the Iranian people and over time turned into Israel’s biggest threat today: Ahmadenijad and his plan to wipe Israel off the map. I don’t care what the name of the group is infiltrating the uprising in Egypt. I don’t care if it’s the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, or any other group. They all share the same common goal: to annihilate Israel. As news networks try to trace the beginnings of the Muslim Brotherhood and banter back and forth as to whether or not they truly are a threat, all one has to do is take it from the horse’s mouth. Mohamed Ghanem, one of the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt as of yesterday called on Egypt to refrain from pumping gas to Israel and prepare the Egyptian people for war with Israel. He also stated the Egyptian police won’t be able to stop the Muslim Brotherhood. America needs to quit getting distracted by the intricacies and start looking at the bigger pictures. Jihad is Jihad. It doesn’t matter what name one puts in front. It is the Third Jihad according to them and the final Jihad to implement total world chaos. Radical Muslims don’t worry about whether we are Democrat or Republican. They look at us as a whole; Americans. All these groups are a whole: Umma ushers.

Israel has expressed their desire that Mubarak remain in power for now because they fear a second take on what took place in Iran. Israel was upset when Obama stepped right out in his usual ‘’non supportive Israel’’ attire and supported the ousting of Mubarak going even further to imply his ok with the Muslim Brotherhood being part of the government so long as it’s done Democratically. Democratically in the same way Hitler was voted in Obama? Just want to clear that up. Obama has absolutely no discernment. He can’t discern good from evil. As Scripture tells us, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness” Isaiah 5:20. Unfortunately, many American’s are still floating in that very same sea of deception.

Regardless of what any Liberal, MSNBC correspondent, or ACLU lawyer says, politics and religion are entwined and the proof of that is happening before our very eyes. Everything that is taking place in the Middle East is and will ultimately center on the nation of Israel. If Israel asks America to stand with her during this time of major vulnerability for the nation, America must do so. America’s future rests on our relationship with Israel.

It’s interesting to see the Democrats and Liberals jumping on the ‘’Democracy in the Middle East” band wagon. They sure didn’t do this for Iraq and Afghanistan! I guess former President Bush’s point that a more stable Middle East correlates with a securer America. So many laughed at that idea but now some of that truth is revealing itself on our televisions.

As we watch the events unfold in Egypt, let this serve as a reminder that we must protect our nation and if that is through becoming dependent on domestic oil or putting defense back to the forefront of the American agenda so be it. Most of all, we must look at these events on a much larger spectrum. We must see what all of these nations are doing and regardless of name what their ultimate goal is. We must ask ourselves why one tiny nation would pose such a major threat to its much larger surrounding nations.

“And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it” Zechariah 12:3

Donald Trump’s Iran War Sparks Stunning House Rebuke As Republican Defectors In Congress Expose Deep Cracks In The ‘America First’ Movement

‘America First’ Fractures As House Congressional Republicans Join Democrats To Rebuke Trump Over His Unauthorized Iran War

The House vote to rebuke Trump over the Iran war is not merely a “symbolic” slap on the wrist — it is a warning flare from deep inside his own political camp. When Republican leadership has to argue that Congress exercising its constitutional war powers would “weaken the president’s hand,” what they are really admitting is that Trump’s hand is already weak. A strong president does not need Congress to surrender its authority in order to look strong at the negotiating table. The facade is slipping.

“Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.” Jeremiah 17:5 (KJB)

The resolution passed 215–208, with four Republicans joining Democrats to demand that Trump seek congressional authorization or withdraw from military action in Iran. That does not mean the entire Republican Party has abandoned him, but it absolutely means the old automatic loyalty is cracking. The vote came after earlier failed attempts, making this one politically significant because enough Republicans finally broke away to put it over the top. What makes this so damaging is the contradiction at the heart of Trump’s political brand. He ran as the man who would end endless wars, drain the swamp, confront the foreign policy establishment, and put America First. Yet here he is, presiding over another Middle East war, with Congress now having to drag the White House back toward the Constitution. That is not strength. That is the very Washington war machine Trump once promised to defeat.

CLICK TO SEE WHAT’S NEW AT THE BIBLE BELIEVERS BOOKSTORE!!

These GOP defectors are not simply siding with Democrats. They are exposing a fault line inside the MAGA movement itself. Is “America First” a real doctrine, or just campaign-stage decoration that gets tossed aside the moment the drums of war start beating? If Trump can wage war with Iran without clear congressional authorization, then the constitutional conservative argument collapses into personality worship. Republican leaders claim this vote weakens Trump in negotiations with Iran. No — the war weakened him. The rising costs weakened him. The lack of a clean exit weakened him. The failure to secure a durable settlement weakened him. Congress did not create the weakness; Congress exposed it.

The House resolution was opposed by Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and most Republicans, who complained that it undermines Trump and his top negotiators when they are trying to secure a nuclear deal with Iran. Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast, R-Fla., called Wednesday’s action “just a total BS vote.” source

The House vote is a public rebuke of a president whose own party is beginning to realize that bravado is not strategy, escalation is not victory, and loyalty to Trump is not the same thing as loyalty to the US Constitution. For years, Republicans warned about unchecked executive power — until that power belonged to their man. Now, with American forces entangled in Iran and the War Powers clock already blown past, a few Republicans are finally remembering that Congress, not the president, has the authority to declare war. This is even bigger than a Capitol Hill fight. America is being pulled deeper into the Middle East firestorm while its leaders pretend they are in control. They are not. Iran, Israel, the Gulf, oil prices, military escalation, congressional rebellion — all of it points to a superpower strained, divided, and spiritually blind while the voice of the prophets grows louder by the day.

As Operation Africa! Continues To Grow, Prisons All Across America Are Reaching Out With A Desperate Need For King James And RVG Spanish Bibles

Operation Africa! ramping up as Bibles Behind Bars reaches a fever pitch as chaplains all across the United States reach out for Bibles and books

Operation Africa! is off to a wonderful start, with hundreds of Bibles already delieverd and hundreds more going out this week. We are preparing to plant two churches, one in Uganda and one in Kenya, exciting stuff! But in the midst of all that, a flurry of Jails and Prisons have also reached out, looking for Bibles in King James English and in RVG Spanish.

“Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.” Hebrews 13:3 (KJB)

Here are just a few of the places we are sending Bibles to this month:

Chaplain Don Parton from the Sevier County Sheriff’s Office wrote and said “I am a Capt. with our department and one of my functions is Director of programs for inmates, also oversee our Reentry division. We would appreciate some Bibles in English and Spanish our facilities house 566 inmates with a population of 30% Spanish. Thank You!”

Chaplain Jason Cizek from the Danville City Jail wrote telling us “I oversee 4 jails with Danville being the largest. Altogether there’s about 500 inmates. Every piece of literature is gifted from donors. My goal is to consistently be able to supply Bibles to those incarcerated. Thank you.”

Chaplain Don Gillis from the Irwin County Detention Center, a facility that had closed during COVID and now reopened under Trump’s new immigration policy, wrote and said “Hello, we house immigration detainees for Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE). We are a relatively small facility having an 1100 bed capacity. The number of detainees being processed through our facility has increased greatly over the last couple of years. I allow and encourage the detainees to take their Bibles with them, if needed, when they leave our facility. This creates a constant need to resupply my inventory. I have been able to secure enough English Bibles but am unable to keep up with the demand for Spanish versions. I am, as of now, completely out of Spanish Bibles. Any help you could give will be greatly appreciated!”

The Lord has filled our plate to overflowing with the sending out of thousands of King James Bibles, RVG Spanish Bibles, scripture portions, gospel tracts and Christian books and literature. All sent out at completely no charge to the chaplains receiving it at the facilities where they work. All made possible by you who pray for this outreach, and who give sacrificially to keep it going all these years. Come help us!

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: The Obama Library Opens In Chicago As A Dystopian Granite Monolith Like The Headquarters Of A Post-American ‘1984’ Future

Barack Hussein Obama’s Dark Presidential Library Rises Over Chicago Like A ‘1984’ Dystopian Fortress From The World Of ‘Leave The World Behind’

Barack Obama’s entire political career was built on image. The logo, the posters, the “citizen of the world” speeches. The “hope and change.” The global adoration, the fainting crowds and the messianic language from the media. The Nobel Peace Prize before he had done anything to earn it. The carefully produced cultural aura surrounding him was always bigger than the man himself. Now that image has been literally poured into concrete and granite, with the result looking exactly like what it always was: cold, controlled, menancing, towering, and spiritually empty.

“Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?” Isaiah 2:22 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, in 2023, Barack and Michelle Obama’s Higher Ground Productions was attached to Netflix’s ‘Leave The World Behind’, the dystopian thriller directed by Sam Esmail in which America begins collapsing through cyberattack, communications failure, infrastructure breakdown, mass confusion, and psychological terror. Netflix identified Higher Ground as part of the project, and the film itself was sold as a story about a mysterious blackout and a nation coming apart under invisible forces. Now take that imagery and place it side by side with Obama’s new Presidential Library in Chicago. On one side, you have Obama’s Netflix-backed dystopian nightmare: America cut off, Americans confused, phones dead, media gone, planes falling, tankers crashing, trust evaporating, and citizens left to wonder who is really behind the collapse. The end of the movie reveals it to be the American government. On the other side, you have Obama’s real-world presidential tower that is massive, dark, nearly windowless, and standing over Chicago like the headquarters of the people who would remain after the collapse was complete. The official story is “democracy,” “hope,” “community,” and “civic engagement.” But the visual story is something very different. The visual story is granite, height, surveillance-age design, digital archives, curated memory, political legacy, and a near-religious treatment of a man whose presidency accelerated America’s transformation into the globalized, technocratic, identity-driven, post-Christian system we are watching harden all around us. It is literally a depiction of George Orwell’s ‘1984’. The UK Guardian said “Towering over a low-income area of Chicago, and wrapped in a speech that’s hard to decipher, this controversial monolith feels like a menacing sci-fi HQ. Is it a monument – or a mausoleum?” That’s a great question, and today we bring you all the news you need to know here on Day 2,270 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve!

I already subscribed.” In that short time we spoke, I experienced from you…a total stranger…peace, joy, kindness, gentleness, compassion, and love.
