Well, brethren – we have been taken on a wild ride for the past few weeks – wouldn’t you say?  

We have witnessed:

• The rapid deterioration of Biden’s cognitive functions
• Biden’s cringe-worthy showing at the debate
• Obama and friends seemingly ganging up on Old Joe to pull out
• Biden and bulldog wife, Jill, digging their heals in and saying NO!
• Trump at rally coming so close to death – his ear grazed by an AR-15 bullet
•  Secret Service were not really Secret service – real security detail was sent to protect Jill Biden who just happened to be in PA
• Shooter was not really a shooter- was rejected from the rifle club at school
• Shooter was the ‘fall guy’ taken out by bullets to the back of his head 
• There were 1 or 2 REAL shooters at the rally

Is the reader’s head spinning yet? 

And today we are told that Old Joe is throwing in the towel and will not run for president – but he is not resigning. So, think about this: He is well enough to run our country but not well enough to run in this race, as VP candidate JD Vance said earlier.

Then we were told that he is not endorsing Kamala. Not 5 minutes later, he IS endorsing her.

A couple of weeks ago, I read that Obama and friends were making a list of viable substitutes for Biden. Obama was quoted as saying that Biden could NEVER beat Trump in this election.

Here are a few names on Obama’s short list:

• Gavin Newsom
• Hillary Clinton
• Gov Gretchen Whitmer
• Gov Josh Shapiro

And there were other names……

The Caveat

I realize that what I am about to say is not going to be popular, and many will not want to believe it. I must say that I sincerely hope that I am wrong – but I don’t think that I am.

I firmly believe that the LEFT Is using their tactics from 2020 to steal this election no matter who is running on their ticket.  They blatantly stole the election from Trump right before our eyes and I think those same devilish tactics will be in play in this election.

The Good News

As believers in Jesus Christ, we know that no matter what happens – HE is in full control AND HE is allowing whatever is happening to HAPPEN! It may not be what we want but it IS His will. I believe that what He allows is part of His judgment. Do you think that God is pleased  at the direction the GOP is taking on abortion?

He is furious at this!

When we read Matthew 24, do we think that everything will be wonderful in America and all things will go our way?  I think that many of us need to go back to that passage of Scripture and read it over and over again!

We should end every prayer we utter to God with this:

“According to Your perfect will.”

President Joe Biden is ending his quest for reelection.

Biden announced his intention Sunday afternoon, promising to reveal more about his decision soon.

This is a developing story.

DEMONCRAT’S POLITICAL THEATER:

  ACT 1

Spoiler alert:

THEY HAVE ALREADY RIGGED THE ELECTION FOR THE DEMS TO WIN.

From raptureready.com

On July 10, 2024, it was reported that a large TV station (Auf1) with outlets in Germany and Austria that opposes forced COVID-19 vaccinations, transhumanism, climate hysteria, the Great Reset, and more has had 8 bank accounts shut down in recent weeks.

Stefan Magnet (the station founder and editor-in-chief) said:

• We were already a painful thorn in the side of the political and media cartel during the coronavirus era, and now that the Great Reset is being prepared and implemented at breathtaking speed on many levels, we are even more in their way.
• The globalists use their direct connections in the control centers of the banking industry to get rid of annoying opponents at the drop of a hat.

Magnet (who employs lawyers and tax advisors to ensure that he obeys the laws) has reluctantly moved the station’s bank accounts from Germany and Austria to Hungary.

The station’s problems have implications for:

• Globalism (silencing the opponents of world government).
• Birth pains (prophetic fulfillment speeding up at the end of the age).
• Mark of the Beast (kicking people out of the economic system if they do not support the globalist agenda).

These signs are shaping up at breakneck speed.

When Jesus was asked about the signs of His coming, one thing He said was:

“When these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree [Israel], and all the trees [nations]; When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. So likewise ye, when ye see these things [signs] come to pass, know [don’t assume; know] ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

“And take heed to yourselves [don’t get careless], lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares [catches you not watching]. For as a snare [like a trap that slams shut like when God closed the door to the ark in the days of Noah] shall it come on all them [them, not us; all unbelievers] that dwell on the face of the whole earth [all over the world]. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man” (Luke 21:28-36).

All the signs indicate that society is fast approaching the Rapture and Tribulation Period. Our generation could very well be the Terminal Generation that will never die (Jn. 11:25-26).

Here are some of the signs that seem to indicate this:

One, on June 21, 2024, it was reported that Brexit leader Nigel Farage (head of a political party called Reform UK) was debanked.

He pointed out that Canada’s government froze the bank accounts of Canadian truckers who were protesting draconian COVID mandates.

When asked who is doing this, Farage said global and banking institutions, including the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development OECD), the Bank of England, the European Union (EU), and the United Nations (UN).

When asked how people can combat this, Farage said,

• Don’t vote for globalists.
• Have more than one bank account (3 is not too many).
• Buy hard assets such as gold.
• Use cash (don’t cooperate with the globalist cashless society).

(Note: I am not giving anyone financial advice. I am telling readers what Farage said.)

Two, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on July 10, 2024, the U.S. and Germany announced that the U.S. will deploy long-range Tomahawk and newly developed hypersonic missiles in Germany in 2026.

Russia called it a serious mistake.

(More: On July 13, 2024, Russia’s Pres. Putin warned the EU that deploying U.S. missiles to their countries would put their capitals in danger, and deploying long-range missiles to Germany could spark WWIII.)

Three, concerning deceit and a population reduction: on July 11, 2024, it was reported that the Heritage Foundation’s Nonpartisan Commission on China and COVID-19 found that the pandemic caused 1,476,457 excess deaths in the U.S. from 2020 to 2022 and cost the U.S. more than 18 trillion dollars, but no one has been held accountable.

Four, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog: on July 12, 2024, Russia urged Israel to refrain from attacking Syria and warned that continued attacks on Syria might lead to dangerous consequences.

(More: On July 13, 2024, Israel struck a Syrian command center and several sites in and around Damascus.)

Five, concerning the attempted assassination of former Pres. Trump on July 13, 2024: here are some of my thoughts:

• There will be great wickedness at the end of the age like it was in the days of Noah (Matt. 24:37).
• Murder will be a prominent sin during the Tribulation Period (Rev. 9:20-21).
• The coming world government (the Antichrist and False Prophet) will kill many during the Tribulation Period (Rev. 13:15).
• Making America Great Again (MAGA) goes against the globalist intent to surrender the sovereignty of the U.S. to the New World Order (Rev. 13:7).
• Globalists (and their puppets in the Democrat Party) have done everything they can to stop Trump and MAGA (investigate him on fake Russian collusion charges, raid his home, impeach him on made-up charges, ruin him financially, possibly jail him, import illegals, and empower them to vote, censor him on social media, etc.).
• Democrats have panicked (they are afraid a Trump victory will increase the Republican lead in the House, shift the Senate majority from Democrat to Republican, appoint conservative judges to the Supreme Court, pardon the J6 group, retaliate for their unlawful actions, fire the heads of the FBI, CIA, Justice Dept., etc.).
• Democrats in high offices in Washington have openly called for Trump to be stopped at any cost.
• Some, including Pres. Biden and many in the media, have often compared Trump to Adolph Hitler and said his election would be the end of Democracy.
• When Trump supporters spoke out about the Democrats’ dangerous rhetoric, they were often accused of spreading conspiracy theories.
• Members of Trump’s family publicly expressed concern that someone might try to kill him.
• For an amazing video (11.25 min.) about Trump being shot in the ear and more, go to this link:

https://www.lifesitenews.com/episodes/prophecy-unveiled-pastors-vision-of-trumps-assassination-attempt/?utm_source=digest-prolife-2024-07-16&utm_medium=email

(Note: I don’t know what to say about this, and I am not endorsing Roman Catholicism, but God knows what will happen before it happens, and all things are possible with God. I strongly recommend you watch all of it.)

• I have read that Trump asked the Secret Service to increase his protection, but it was denied.
• Many of my friends have expressed concern that someone might try to kill Trump before the Nov 5, 2024, presidential election.
• Several times, I have said there is no telling what the globalists will try to do to stop Trump.
• It has been reported that some Secret Service agents at the Trump rally were temporary agents, not Trump’s regular detail.
• Prophecy expert Bill Koenig believes Trump has major angelic protection beyond that of the Secret Service.
• Trump said it was God alone that prevented the unthinkable from happening.
• An unidentified source close to Trump said Trump believes he has been given a gift from God, and Trump intends to change the theme of the Republican National Convention and use it to try to unify the U.S.
• One Rapture Ready reader suggested that God may be giving the U.S. one last chance to keep its sovereignty. I hope so, but I believe all nations, including the U.S., will lose their sovereignty (Rev. 13:7).
• The House Committee on Oversight and Investigation has already announced that it will investigate the incident.

(My opinion: I am not surprised that someone tried to assassinate him, and I will not be surprised if there are more attempts in the future.)

(More: On July 15, 2024, Trump announced that he has selected J.D. Vance to be his Vice. Pres. running mate. Vance has been a staunch supporter of Israel. This is particularly important because of God’s promise to bless those that bless Israel and curse those that curse Israel. If Trump does become the next president – a big if – replacing him with a staunch supporter of Israel will be good for America.)

Six, concerning false accusations, deceit, and corruption in Washington: on July 15, 2024, the U.S. District Court Judge who was presiding over the case that accused former Pres. Trump of illegally taking classified documents to his home in Florida dismissed it.

Judge Cannon ruled:

• That U.S. Attorney Gen. Garland illegally appointed Jack Smith to be a Special Prosecuting Attorney to prosecute Trump.
• That the prosecution was improperly funded by a Congressional fund that was established for other purposes.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said the ruling must be appealed immediately.

According to the report, Smith will likely appeal Judge Cannon’s ruling.

Seven, concerning the days of Lot (sexual immorality) and the decline of America: on July 16, 2024, it was reported that Elon Musk said he will move X (formerly Twitter) and Space X from California to Texas because California passed a law that will harm children (force the LGBTQ agenda on children without the parent’s knowledge).

Here is my daily update on the Israel-Hamas war:

Thursday, July 11, 2024 (Day 280): The two-hundred twenty-fourth day of the resumed war. Day 66 of the attack on Rafah.

• Israel said it will not stop fighting until all the hostages are returned.
• Israel notified the UN that it had identified 100 terrorists who worked for the UNRWA.
• The UNRWA has been endorsing terrorism under the guise of helping Palestinians.

Friday, July 12, 2024 (Day 281): The two-hundred twenty-fifth day of the resumed war. Day 67 of the attack on Rafah.

Sunday, July 14, 2024 (Day 283): The two-hundred twenty-seventh day of the resumed war. Day 69 of the attack on Rafah.

• A lone terrorist in Israel used his vehicle twice to run down 2 Israeli troops (4 altogether) before one of the victims shot and killed him.

Monday, July 15, 2024 (Day 284): The two-hundred twenty-eighth day of the resumed war. Day 70 of the attack on Rafah.

• Late Tuesday and early Wednesday, Hezbollah fired about 100 rockets into northern Israel from Lebanon.
• Residents in northern Israel want the government to respond more forcefully to Hezbollah’s attacks.

FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).

Finally, are you Rapture Ready?

If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.
