Day Of The Lord? (Beginning Of Sorrows, Five.)

When ye therefore shall see the Abomination of Desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (who so reads, let him understand)

Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Behold, I have told you before.

Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shines even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. ~Matthew 24:15-27

Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows. ~George Orwell, 1984.

I saw this last night.

Evidently, Trump administration officials are trying to figure out who's Jewish and who isn't on college campuses.

Considering that These Fucking People seem undecided between trying to imitate the goddamned Nazis and trying to be the goddamned Beast of Revelation while claiming to be supporting End Times nut Evangelical and Fundamentalist Christians, I'd say that's a bad sign.

And these fucking people been about half a step from trying to claim Trump is Jesus for a while now, that picture was taken at CPAC in February of 2021.

If they start trying to deport American Jews to Israel...regardless of the excuse...they will have clearly chosen the latter.

You need to understand one thing though.

Evangelical "Support" for Israel, same as their "Support" for most things, is completely in bad faith and totally dishonest.

End Times Evangelicals claim that more Jews going to Israel is a sign of the End Times, and they also claim that most Jews will be killed and the rest will be converted to Christianity during the later events of their End Times Narrative.

The actual mechanics of all this vary from one interpretation to the other and from preacher to preacher even in that context...but basically Republican support for Israel is all about fattening it up so that it can be used as a human sacrifice on a national scale to bring about the End Times and summon Republican Monster Jesus.

By the way, both Biblically and in secular terms, all this shit is lies spread by Deceivers...so of course MAGA's believe every damned word of it.

Trump doesn't care about Christ or Christianity, he wants to have himself declared as a god.

And the reason he wants Gaza...is at least on a lizard-brain level he thinks having a patch of dirt in the Holy Land will give him some kind of a shot at this.

Also, don't forget the Tech Bros want to get themselves some kind of an AI "God" probably with CGI "miracles" that they can use to rule over all the fake religious people who might be swayed by such a thing.

I think these fucking people have got bored with the traditional "Christian" view of "No man knows the day or the hour..." and they're going to try to figure out some kind of bullshit way to try and cause the End Times their own damn selves.

They know it's all bullshit.

They know we know it's all bullshit.

But Republicans on an almost theological level seem to think everybody should be miserable and everything should suck forever but they should get to have Power over it (Why else would they love Russia and Vladimir Putin?) and if they can't have that they want to blow up the world and take the rest of us down with them.

If you ask me, this shit is pretty much Demonic and I say that as a former Republican, myself.

And I think as resistance to all this Trump crap here in America and around the world starts to escalate, and things go badly because of their own incompetence, I think we're going to see both real End Times fanaticism from these nuts, and transparently false efforts to either bring about the End Times their own damn selves or to convince their cult that the End Times have already arrived.

These clowns have just enough hubris to think it'll work, too.

And they see actual practicing Christians and sincere faith as deserving only mockery because what these choads really believe in is the Prosperity Gospel.

And they've managed to strip Jesus out of that and replace Him with Donald Trump.

Remember, these are the same damn people who, in 2020, kicked Jesus out of His own End Times narrative and replaced Him with Antivaxxer Woo and conspiracy theories.

And well, now, we have a government of conspiracy theories.

You either believe in freedom...including genuine freedom of religion and thought...or you don't.

You're either willing to fight for it or you're not.

And you have been warned.

Just remember, MAGA's and Republicans, you ain't God.

Слава Україна!

Therefore the Lord, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skillful of lamentation to wailing.
And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the Lord.
Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light. As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.

Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.

Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.

But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. ~Amos 5:16-24
