"I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan" (Revelation 2:9).
Growing up in a Jewish family, I knew quite a few “Jewish” people who actually detested being Jewish. They also loathed Israel.
I wondered what made these people tick. Were they just ignorant of the centuries of persecution of our people; or perhaps they were embarrassed at being a Jew because they rationalized that there must be a reason that their people were so hated and persecuted.
So, in their mixed up minds, they figured that it was better to be on the side of anti Semitism to “fit in.” You know – they could even laugh at Jewish jokes told by non- Jews.
One common trait of a self-hating Jew is Atheism. And when you think about it, how can you be a real Jew without believing in God?
You can’t.
I’ve written so many articles (ad nauseum) about George Soros and how he is the quintessential self-hating Jew.
Now, we have one running for the presidency of the United States of America
Bernie Sanders is a hippie in a 78 year old body. His body grew and grew “old” but his brain remained the brain of a hippie.
I was a hippie chick. Does that shock you? I really was. Hair down to my waist, beads, shoeless and brainless. But then I grew up and my brain “caught up.”
When I was born again in 1983, my mother said that she could take that I believed in Jesus; but she could NOT take that she gave birth to a Republican.
Bernie Sanders is a Communist. He has been in love with Russia since he was a young man. He even honeymooned in Moscow. The DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) are rejoicing that their man may be the Democratic contender in the 2020 election.
I personally believe that Donald Trump will make chopped liver out of Bernie Sanders in the debates and ultimately in the election.
Here is what Bernie listens to as he drifts off to sleep at night:
The Real Bernie Sanders
Watch Bernie call the Israeli Government Racist
Bernie says how much his being Jewish means to him:
Anyone with a beating heart who is not a Neo-Nazi can be brought to tears watching films and photos of the Holocaust. The answer that Sanders gave about what his so-called “Religion” means to him was pure hogwash.
Bernie is an ATHEIST
Don’t ever forget that. And I would venture to say that the vast majority of his brainless followers are Atheists as well.
They want free stuff and they will NOT have anyone telling them that they are sinners. So, they are becoming the “Bernie Bros” following after their Communist leader as if he is a type of Pied Piper. He has become an idol to them. They are worshiping this man.
I do pray for Bernie Sanders and his faithful but misguided followers. As a matter of fact, while writing this, I stopped and prayed with my husband for these people and for America.

This morning I spoke with our son who lives and works in S. Korea. He told me that people are forbidden to go out in public without a mask.
He began to tell me about a Cult in the southern region of Korea, who the government is holding responsible for the current outbreak of Coronavirus in that country. Our son lives and works in Seoul, which is in the north.
I had not read about this, so immediately I began researching. It did not take me long to find it – and the biggest story was in The NY Times – which I do not ordinary use as a source.
To say that this is alarming would be a gross understatement
Brethren, whenever you read the word “church” as describing this CULT – remember that you are reading from The NY Times.
As the country’s infection numbers soar, most cases have been connected to the Shincheonji Church of Jesus, which mainstream churches consider a cult.
SEOUL, South Korea — At meetings of the secretive Shincheonji Church of Jesus, worshipers sit packed together on the floor, forbidden to wear glasses — or face masks. They come to church even when sick, former members say. After services, they split up into groups for Bible study, or to go out into the streets and proselytize.
After the first coronavirus infection was reported among its members, they were told to lie about being followers, though the church later said that was not its policy.
Now, health officials are zeroing in on the church’s practices as they seek to contain South Korea’s alarming coronavirus outbreak, in which members of Shincheonji, along with their relatives and others who got the virus from them, account for more than half of the confirmed infections. On Saturday, the number of cases in the country soared to 346 — second only to mainland China, if the outbreak on the Diamond Princess cruise ship is excluded from Japan’s count.
More than 1,250 other church members have reported potential symptoms, health officials said, raising the possibility that the nation’s caseload could soon skyrocket further. In response, the government is shutting down thousands of day-care facilities, nursing homes and community centers, even banning the outdoor political rallies that are a feature of life in downtown Seoul.
As of Saturday, more than 700 members of Shincheonji, which mainstream South Korean churches consider a cult, still could not be reached, according to health officials, who were frantically hoping to screen them for signs of infection.
“Shincheonji members know of their bad image and they usually hide their affiliation from nonchurch members, even from their parents,” said Hwang Eui-jong, a pastor who has researched the church. “No wonder many of them are unreachable. They must be huddled together somewhere, praying that this will eventually go away.”
The snowballing outbreak among the church’s followers is testing South Korea’s health care system, which successfully tamed a deadly outbreak of Middle East respiratory syndrome in 2015. Experts on South Korean religious sects and former members of the church said its practices made its members unusually vulnerable to contagious diseases.
“Unlike other churches, Shincheonji makes its members sit on the floor tightly together during services, in neat, militarylike ranks and files,” said Lee Ho-yeon, who left the church in 2015. “We were not supposed to have anything on our faces, like glasses or masks. We were trained to sing our hymns loudly.”
“We were taught not to be afraid of illness,” Ms. Lee said. “We were taught not to care about such worldly things like jobs, ambition or passion. Everything was focused on proselytizing, even when we were sick.”
The outbreak has struck hardest at Shincheonji’s church in Daegu, a city of about 2.5 million in the country’s southeast, where a 61-year-old woman known as Patient No. 31 is believed to be a link between many of the cases. The restrictions on public gatherings have been implemented more forcefully in Daegu than elsewhere in the country.
Patient No. 31 checked into a small Daegu hospital on Feb. 7, after a minor traffic accident. The next day, she complained of a sore throat. The day after that — a Sunday — she attended a Shincheonji church service, health officials say.
She developed a fever the next day, one that lingered, and she stayed in the hospital. Still, she slipped out the following Sunday to go to church again. At least 1,000 Shincheonji members attended one of those two Sunday services, officials said.
At least twice, doctors recommended that the woman transfer to a bigger hospital to be tested for the coronavirus, but she refused, health officials said. She insisted that she had not visited China in recent months, nor had she met anyone known to have the virus.
Finally, on Monday, she felt sick enough to check into a government-run clinic for a coronavirus test. On Tuesday, she was confirmed to be infected.
“Her behavior is not surprising to people familiar with the church,” said Chung Yun-seok, an expert on religious cults who runs the website Christian Portal News. “To them, getting sick is a sin because it prevents them from doing God’s work.”
The church dismissed criticism of its practices on Friday, calling it “slandering based on the prejudices among the established churches.” It said its members sat close together on the floor because local authorities would not give it permits to build bigger churches.
Health officials were still trying to figure out how Patient No. 31 contracted the disease. Mr. Hwang noted that the church had been proselytizing among ethnic Koreans in northeastern China, many of whom it invited to South Korea.
Jung Eun-kyeong, director of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said the authorities were investigating reports that Shincheonji had operations in Hubei, the Chinese province that includes Wuhan, where the virus emerged. The South Korean news agency Newsis reported on Friday that Shincheonji had opened a church in Wuhan last year, and that references to it had been removed from the church’s website. Church officials could not immediately be reached for comment.
South Korean officials learned that Patient No. 31 had visited Cheongdo, a county near Daegu, in early February. As of Saturday, 108 patients and medical staff at a Cheongdo hospital had tested positive for the coronavirus; two of them died this week.
Cheongdo is the birthplace of Lee Man-hee, the 88-year-old self-styled messiah who founded Shincheonji, and followers regularly go on pilgrimages there and do volunteer work. Church members are also believed to have attended the funeral of Mr. Lee’s brother in Cheongdo in early February.
On Friday, Newsis quoted Patient No. 31 as saying that she had not visited the hospital or attended the funeral, but that she had used a public bathhouse while in Cheongdo.
“We need a thorough investigation of the people who attended the church services and the funeral,” President Moon Jae-in said on Friday while presiding over an emergency meeting on the outbreak.
After the case of Patient No. 31 was first reported, social media messages went out to Shincheonji members telling them to continue their evangelical work in small groups. The messages also told members that if officials asked, they should deny that they belonged to the church or went to its services.
But the church later said those messages did not reflect its official policy, and that it had disciplined the person who sent them out.
On Friday, Mr. Lee urged his members to “follow the government’s instructions,” asking them to avoid gatherings and take their proselytizing online.
“This disease outbreak is the work of the devil, which is hellbent on stopping the rapid growth of the Shincheonji,” he said in a message to his followers.
South Korea has long been fertile ground for unorthodox religious groups, some of which have amassed enormous wealth and influence. After an overloaded ferry sank in 2014, killing more than 300 people, South Koreans were shocked to learn that the ferry company was controlled by a religious leader who had been shunned as a heretic by mainstream churches.
Shincheonji claims 150,000 members and has 12 congregations in South Korea. It also has many smaller operations, which present themselves as cafes or churches of other denominations and are used for proselytizing, said Mr. Chung.
Shincheonji has long been criticized for its aggressive evangelical work. Many mainstream churches post signs warning undercover Shincheonji missionaries not to try to infiltrate their congregations.
Members of Shincheonji have recently targeted young South Koreans, offering them free tarot readings, personality tests and foreign-language classes, according to Mr. Hwang.
Moon Yoo-ja, 60, who spent years trying to “rescue” her daughter from the church, accused Shincheonji of ruining many families.
“Once they fall into the trap of the church, they often abandon school and jobs,” Ms. Moon said. “Some housewives packed up and joined the church, abandoning their husbands and children.”
Hwang Gui-hag, editor in chief of the Seoul-based Law Times, which specializes in religious news, cautioned against focusing too much on Shincheonji’s practices, some of which he said could be found in other South Korean churches.
“This is essentially not a religious issue, but a medical and health issue,” Mr. Hwang said. “If we pay too much attention to religion, we miss the point. How would you explain the huge outbreak in Wuhan, China, which is not really caused by any church?” source
I just found another source in Korea which I think is very important for the readers to see:
Korea’s virus cases surge to 433 on church services, cluster outbreak at hospital
hwayoung7@yna.co.kr/2020-02-21 21:04:33/
South Korea reported 229 new cases of the the new coronavirus on Saturday, the largest spike in a single day since its first outbreak in late January, bring the total number of infection in the nation to 433.
The number of COVID-19 infections here has soared in the past few days, with most infections traced to a hospital in the southeastern county of Cheongdo and a minor Christian sect (Cult) in the south easters city of Daegu, which constitutes some 80% of the total infections here.
Daegu, where the 2.5 million inhabitants have been asked to stay indoors, and neighboring Cheongdo were designated as a “Special Management Zones”on Friday.
Of the 229 new cases, 95 are related to Daenam Hospital in Cheongdo, where the South Korea’s first Coronavirus fatally occurred, the Korean Center for Disease, Control and Prevention [KCDC] said.
A 63 year old man, who died of pneumonia at the hospital on Wednesday, posthumously tested positive for the virus.
On Friday, another patient died from the Coronavirus at a hospital in Busan after being transferred from Daenam Hospital, the second death from the virus in South Korea.
The Public Health Agency said 62 new cases are tied to the minor Christian Sect (CULT) known as Shincheonji in Daegu, about 300 kilometers southeast of Seoul, and neighboring north Gyeongsag Province and other areas.
So far, a total of 114 virus cases– 9 hospital staff and 102 patients — have been reported from Daenam Hospital, and so -called cohort isolation, the shut down of an entire medical institution to prevent the spread of an infectious disease, was in place for the hospital, according to the health authorities.
The health authorities said 231 virus patients have been traced to the Shincheonji church’s services in Daegu, according to the KCDC.
The KCDC said it has placed a total of 9336 Shincheonji members in self quarantine. Among them, 544 people suspected of having contracted the virus are being tested for the virus.
The country’s 31st patient, a probable “Super spreader” had attended the Cults worship services in Daegu, and the 61 year old South Korean woman, who tested positive for the virus earlier this week, us believed to have infected others.
But the health authorities said earlier that it is uncertain whether the patient is the source of the cluster outbreak. The health authorities vowed to make more containment efforts as the potentially fatal illness spreads fast across the country.
The Health Ministry said it will allow hospitals to separate repiratory patients from others in an effort to prevent human-to- human transmissions and will also check all pneumonia patients in Daegu hospitals.
Despite the surge and the number of infections here, the authorities said they will maintain the virus alert at the 3rd-highest, or (Orange) level, but the virus response will be carried out with an urgency appropriate to the (Red) level.
“Community spread of infections began in some limited areas, and we believe that Daegu and North Gyeongsang Province are in a special situation.” Vice, Health and Welfare Minister Kim Kang-lip told reporters on Saturday.
In a sign that the virus may further spread nationwide, other provinces, including Jeju, Chungcheong and North Jeolla, reported cases. Gyeonggi Province also reported more new cases.
Four virus cases were reported in Busan, South Korea’s second largest city with a population of 3.4 million, the first cases in the city since the country reported the first case of COVID-19 on January 20th.
So far, South Korea has released 18 fully recovered Novel Corona Virus patients from hospitals, the KCDC said.The number of people being checked for the virus and under quarantine came to 6,037 up from 5,481 on Saturday morning, KCDC said. The country has tested a total of 21,153 suspected cases, with 15,1016 testing negative.
Most Virus-infected patients are stable, but about 9 patients with underlying illnesses are in relatively critical conditions, the health authorities said (YONHAP) source
This is really hitting home with us, having our son living in Korea. We are praying for him and all people in Korea and in China and every country were this virus is being detected.
Please pray, brethren. However this began (there are so many theories) it is so terrible scary.
Everything we are seeing was told to us by our Lord Jesus. These things would happen in the last days; and so they are.
We are blessed to know that no matter what, when we leave this earth, either by death or Rapture – we will be with our Glorious Savior for Eternity.
Pray for the lost and share the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ with them!
Recently, I have been writing on some very heavy and worrisome topics.
This morning when I awoke, I felt the Holy Spirit urging me to share this incredibly encouraging and beautiful song sung by the Martins. They are one of my all time favorite Gospel groups.
With everything in the news, please take time to sit and relax and listen to this song. I am placing the lyrics to the song as well.
In and out of situations,
That tug-of-war at me
All day long I struggle
For answers that I need
But then I come into Your presence,
And all my questions become clear
And for this sacred moment,
No doubts can interfere
Chorus:
In the presence of Jehovah,
God Almighty, Prince of Peace
Troubles vanish, hearts are mended,
In the presence of The King
Through His love The Lord provided,
A place for us to rest
A place to find the answers,
In the hour of distress
Now there’s never any reason,
For you to give up in despair
Just slip away and breathe His name,
For He will surely meet you there
Chorus:
In the presence of Jehovah,
God Almighty, Prince of Peace
Troubles vanish, hearts are mended,
In the presence of The King
(Repeat)
In the presence of The King
In the presence of The King.
From our Lord:
“Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’ (Isaiah 41:10).
Brethren, I pray for peace in our minds this day. We belong to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords; the Maker of the Stars and all that is around us. Can He not care for us, His beloved?
With so much unadulterated EVIL permeating America, it is sometimes quite hard for me to prioritize my writings.
I get numerous emails from readers, asking me if I would research myriad of topics. I want you all to know that I have not forgotten your requests. But I do seek the Lord on what it is that He wants me to write about first.
Bernie Sanders is now being reported as the most likely Democratic candidate to win the primary. This is disconcerting and downright frightening to me.
The Millennials are duped and totally clueless as to what this man is about. Bernie’s demeanor and his promise of “free stuff” is enough for these young people to not only support him, but there is a violent streak that is rearing its ugly head in Bernie’s camp. Can you say ANTIFA?
Remember in 2017 when Steve Scalise was shot during a softball game with other Republicans? The shooter was a supporter of guess who? Yep – he was a Bernie Sanders supporter!
Under that grandfatherly image he projects most often to his people, lies a dangerous Communist – a Totalitarian dictator (potentially). And you will notice that I am not using the word “Socialist” or “Democratic Socialism” for a very good reason.
Bernie’s goal is COMMUNISM.
Watch Sanders as a younger man in these video clips. Some will say “Oh, Bernie has changed or softened.” NOT SO. If anything, he has fomented his ideologies, especially now that he is reaching for the grand prize: becoming president of the United States of America.
He must be salivating at the thought.
This compilation of videos of Bernie as a younger man should open the eyes of those who are wondering about this man and his political platforms:
Bernie loves to talk about beautiful chandeliers and wonderful youth programs in countries where totalitarian dictators have taken over:
WHAT???
Some readers will remember that during the reign of Obama, I went into the CDSA (Chicago Democratic Socialists of America) acting like I just wanted more information. I became friends with Bob Roman, a man who was a leader of this movement. Before he realized that I was a Republican just nosing around, he told me this: “We are disappointed in Barack Obama because he is NOT Socialist enough.”
Brethren, it all come down to one major fact: Bernie Sanders LOVES Communism and is bound and determined to take our Constitutional Republic and transform it into another Venezuela. Tell me ……….WHY in the world would Americans want such a thing?
President trump has improved our economy; has the jobless rate the lowest in decades; is calling on the carpet our so-called allies of America to pay their fair share in NATO and other international groups. He is against America always footing the bill.
Trump is looking out for America.
Bernie is looking out for Communism in hopes that it will be implemented in our country.
Senator Bernie Sanders spoke about student loan debt, climate, women’s issues and more at his rally on Jan. 25 at the Ames City Auditorium.
Bernie Sanders is on the record, but even more importantly, ON VIDEOTAPE (from Aug. 8, 1985, and June 13, 1988,) uncritically publicly praising the so-called virtues of communist dictatorships in Cuba under Fidel Castro, in Nicaragua under Daniel Ortega and in the Soviet Union under totalitarian tyranny.
Sanders and his second wife Jane spent their 1988 marital honeymoon in the Soviet Union. Why would Bernie Sanders, of all places on this planet, actually voluntarily pick the Soviet Union as the destination for their honeymoon? (Were all of the available hotel rooms in Cuba, Nicaragua, and North Korea already booked in 1988?)
From the numerous communal kibbutzim in Israel that Bernie Sanders could have chosen from in 1963, why would Sanders have voluntarily joined Kibbutz Sha’ar Ha’amakim, whose founder Aharon Cohen was convicted of spying for the Soviet Union?
According to the Feb. 9, 2016, edition of The Times of Israel, “The kibbutz belonged to the Israeli political party Mapam, which in the 1950s had been a communist, Soviet-affiliated faction. Kibbutz members had admired Joseph Stalin until his death, and they would celebrate May Day with red flags.”
If Sanders were to ever publicly disclose the truth about his prior political activities, that’s the day those much-heralded tens-of-millions of dollars in donations will cease.
These days, your favorite so-called democratic socialist Senator Sanders prefers flying on his personal private jet plane to sitting with us commoners in coach. Joe Biden still rides Amtrak, from what I’ve heard. And I thought Biden was supposed to be the elitist, Bernie?
This might explain why Sanders vehemently refused to disclose any of his tax returns until April of 2019, when Senator Sanders finally had to admit that he has been a member of the top 1 percent of Americans economically all along, while publicly, dishonestly pretending to be otherwise. source
I am pleading with the readers of this article to share it with family and friends who have been duped by this Commie!! We MUST wake them up!
As Christians, we know that God is in control. The Lord tells us to come to Him with our prayers. Scripture also says that we will get what we ask for as long as it is His will.
Please don’t think that I am deceived in thinking that things bode well for America in the future. With the evil in our country; abortion, gay marriage…..I could go on and on – the judgment of God is near and rightly so.
I am praying for another reprieve as we had in 2016. If the Left take the White House, we may well find ourselves having to go underground to worship and pray – just as our brethren in China are doing now.
"I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan" (Revelation 2:9).
