Train burglaries in the style of the nineteenth century are making a comeback. Looting, car thefts, and indiscriminate murders of the innocent were all part of 1970s urban violence.
Following the failure in Afghanistan, we have reverted to the dark ages following the loss in Vietnam, when U.S. deterrence was destroyed as well, and worldwide extremism and instability were really the norms.
Who’d have guessed a year back that America would be begging Saudi Arabia and Russia to pump more oil while pulling our existing oil licenses, pipelines, and oil fields?
It’s not really an earthquake, climate change, nuclear war, or even the COVID-19 outbreak that will bring our systems down.
The majority of our ailments, on the other hand, are self-inflicted. They’re the outcome of woke ideas which are simultaneously brutal and diametrically opposed to conventional American pragmatism.
Have to stop calling it, *woke* or the left, or the democraps. Let’s call it what it is, communism, it’s a communist takeover. What happened to, kill a comie for mommy?
They stopped saying that when they started telling they where bad for acting like men.
Yes modern day man must show his feminine nature as well.
And the woke folk do not love God.
That is a fact.
His red headed mouth piece calls vax people marked.

Still there are deniers that it is the mark of the beast.
The spiritual mark has been with us always. Never thought i would see a physical adaption. many “christians” do not see this because they were told by false leaders and prophets they would not be here.
Not sure they are Christian if they deny what is unfolding. If you take the mark you are destined to Hell. This is something a Christian should be looking at and in deep prayer about. There is no going back once you take the mark.
Been thinking of this lately also. Does it say in the bible that if you take the mark you can not be forgiven?
And yes i know what is instore for those who willingly accept and know what the mark is and is all about.
As long as a person is alive i believe they have a chance at repentance.
i can only think of one unforgivable sin that we are warned about.
Not sure it give distinction to knowing, there will be a great delusion.
2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 -- 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Revelation 14:11 -- 11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Revelation 19:20 -- 20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Interesting point that I’ve heard come up in conversation is…
Can someone have taken the mark without worshipping the beast?
The verses you posted here suggests …yes. You see.. in Rev. 14:11 and 19:20 it speaks of the “one who worships the beast and his image” and “whoever receives the mark” which suggests that they don’t necessarily both have to exist in the same person. One person could worship the beast, and another takes the mark…both are cast into the lake of fire.
That is the way I read it.
Interesting times. Thanks for your input.
From the article; “Who will prevent our spiral into communal poverty, divisiveness, and self-inflicted craziness as we approach the 2022 midterm elections?” Lord Jesus, the risen Son of God, could and would prevent our downfall, if a majority of the American people humbled themselves, repented of their gross sins, and asked Him for forgiveness and His wise counsel. But the American people haven’t done that, have they? No! They have said to Him; “Get away from us. Leave us alone. We don’t need you or your counsel. We are the center of all knowledge and learning in the entire universe. We have all the answers.” Really? What utter arrogance. And pride always precedes fall.
First, they will drink the dregs of their own unbelief, get drunk, puke and fall in it.
Isa65:12 Therefore I will number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called ye did not answer; when I spake ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.
Thanks, Tom. God’s will be done.
Even Lincoln said we would fall by suicide

Hearing and Doing
…24and after observing himself goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom, and continues to do so— not being a forgetful hearer, but an effective doer— he will be blessed in what he does. 26If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his heart and his religion is worthless.…
