By Mike Wingfield

For many decades I have been sounding the alarm about the coming of a diabolical and ruthless New World Order (NWO). The prophetic Word of God repeatedly declares that when the end comes, the leaders of the world will “take counsel together against the LORD, and against his anointed” (Psalm 2:2). The Bible tells us that this will be a grass-roots movement of the godless people of the world. In this same psalm, the psalmist asked, “Why to the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?” (Psalm 2:1) The word “rage” speaks of open defiance, disorderly conduct, while attempting to overthrow law and order that is promoted by human government. We are now witnessing the fulfillment of this prophecy in Psalm 2. The United States and the nations around the world are experiencing a tsunami of anti-government riots and marches. Even Israel is experiencing major civil unrest, which is unlike anything experienced to this degree in the modern state of Israel.

The nations are finding common ground with a goal to remove God from our modern culture. They want to rid of world of God, His Word, and His people. They are violently opposed to God’s plan for Jesus to rule the world from Jerusalem (Psalm 2:3-6). The wicked of our world want to be free to express their sinful desires. They want to be set free from the basic Biblical foundational principles of our society. They want to erase all of God’s guidelines for marriage, gender, sexual morality, and law and order. For them, freedom is doing whatever they want to do whenever they want to do it. All of this is preparing for the entrance of the one the Bible calls the lawless one – the Antichrist (2 Thessalonians 2:8).

There are two nations that have a significant remnant clinging to the Judeo-Christian values found in the Bible – America and Israel. It is not an accident that those who are planning a global government without God are taking aim at these two nations in an effort to diminish their power and influence. Without question, these two nations are constantly subjected to vicious attacks and rejection within the United Nations. The United Nations is controlled by an alliance of Islamic and Communist nations. And, it is revealing to note that the media, as well as the educational, and political systems of the liberal West are in a mode of appeasement as they support these groups. The appeasement of these governments within the Democrat Party in the U.S. is very troubling. For four years, the Democrats opposed the efforts of President Donald Trump’s administration to strengthen the U.S. This has demonstrated that many of these leftist in our government hate America and are plotting its demise. The evidence of the voter fraud in this past election will expose this agenda. How will America respond? It is my opinion that when the socialist enemies of America are exposed as the ones who orchestrated the deception in this election to impose their will upon the American people, it will bring about a violent revolution within this nation. Or, perhaps all of the fraudulent voter evidence will be conveniently swept under the rug and completely ignored by the liberal judges, complicit media, and all of those who hate President Trump and America.

One of the major developments of the last days is the proliferation of antichrists who will prepare the way for the Antichrist. Near the end of the first century, the Holy Spirit caused the Apostle John to write, “Little children, it is the last time; and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time” (1 John 2:18). Our world is filled with godless, evil tyrants who are antichrists, and some of them have been and are currently involved in American government.

It is not a secret that the socialists and the communist dictators of the world are atheists. They promote a utopian kind of society in which they make themselves god and force the people over whom they rule to be their slaves. Like Satan, they make many deceptive and empty promises, while down deep inside, they know they are speaking a lie. Jesus exposed the true character of Satan when He said to the fake religious leaders of His day, “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it” (John 8:44). When Jesus spoke of the lust of Satan, He was speaking about the great desire of Satan – power over God’s kingdom. This has been the age-old scheme of Satan. In Isaiah 14:13, the Lord revealed that Satan wanted to overthrow God’s kingdom in heaven and on earth. Satan boldly declared, “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High” (Isaiah 14:14). When Satan spoke of God, using the name “the Most High,” he was revealing the lust of his heart. The title, “the Most High God,” means God is “the possessor of heaven and earth” (Genesis 14:22). Satan wants power over God’s kingdom in heaven and on earth. It is a struggle for political power and religious authority over all of God’s creation.

The prophet Isaiah also spoke of Satan as the one who “weaken[s] the nations” (Isaiah 14:12). History teaches that one of Satan’s chief instruments on earth he uses to accomplish his agenda is the deception and manipulation of human governments for his diabolical purposes. He weakens them by deceiving them to pursue power over the nations to lead them in a defiant rebellion against God. The book of Daniel focuses upon the course of human history by displaying the succession of evil empires that were symbolically depicted as wild animals, having no conscience (Daniel 7). Daniel’s prophecy traces the trail of these godless empires as it leads to the final wicked kingdom of the Antichrist.

At the beginning of Christ’s ministry, Satan tempted Jesus to submit to his authority. He took Jesus “up into an exceeding high mountain, and [showed] him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou [will] fall down and worship me” (Matthew 4:8-9). Jesus did not fall for Satan’s temptation of power and glory within the kingdoms of this world. However, Satan continues to offer this power to desperate men who want that kind of glory. As a result, they have become pawns in his hands in the great rebellion against the Lord.

In their evil rebellion against God, these governments always expose their malicious character by hating God’s Biblical commandments and order (Psalm 2:3). They also always hate Christ’s disciples (Daniel 8:25; John 15:18-23), and the Jewish people (Jeremiah 30:3-7; Daniel 12:1). As you consider this, think about where the far left in the U.S. stands on these matters? What are they saying about the Bible, Christians, the church, and Israel? This will tell you whose side they are on!!

Godly civil leaders, who exercise the authority given to them by God, do not promote themselves to gain selfish power. They want to serve people. When some of Jesus’ disciples exposed their own selfish and sinful desires to have positions of authority in Christ’s coming kingdom, He rebuked them. Listen to what He told them, “Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise [power] over them; and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your [servant]; and whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many” (Matthew 20:25-28). Like a good husband/father in the home, a great leader will not flaunt his power and use it for his own gain. Instead, he will shepherd those under his authority as a servant who cares for them.

I am concerned that we are on the precipice of perilous times in America. It is very clear that this past election was filled with corruption and deception. Evil individuals, both national and foreign, were involved in voter fraud in an attempt to see Democrat Joe Biden elected. The progressives (socialists) were confident during the years of President Barack Obama’s administration that they were successfully moving the U.S. toward a socialist takeover. Their plans were surprisingly thwarted by the election of Donald Trump. From the very beginning of his administration in 2017, the socialist elements in America attempted to remove him from office, or impede him from being successful as the leader of a free, constitutional government of America. When all of their efforts failed, they were determined to remove him through the electoral process, by any and every means available to them. As this newsletter goes to press, President Trump’s legal team is uncovering massive amounts of data that prove that crimes were committed in several states to change the voting in Biden’s favor.

If all of this evidence of voter fraud is received in a court of law, and found to be true, it should be a day of great mourning in America. It is frightening and sad that we have come to this point in the history of America. The fact that many people are not alarmed, or seek to dismiss these claims is more alarming. This simply means that facts and laws do not matter to them. This indicates that we have reached a very dangerous period of lawlessness in America that will lead to great civil strife, or civil war. In the play book of the socialists, this is what they want. They want a revolution to overthrow America. The socialists have been very successful in sowing seeds of discord and hatred for many decades. No one can pretend to know what the exact outcome of all of this will be. For the first time in my life, I fear for the immediate future of the America I love and cherish.

It is very apparent that our world is pregnant with the signs of the birth of the coming New World Order. There is an abundance of evidence that the powerful and rich elite in our world want to use the COVID-19 global pandemic to bring a radical change in our world. While this pandemic presents a real threat to us, it is very apparent that it is being used to create a climate of fear around the world. Leaders who thrive on power are anxious to use this pandemic to force our world to accept their vision of a New World Order. They want to control every facet of our lives and destroy our freedoms.

At the end of January 2021, the World Economic Forum (WEF) will hold its 51^st annual meeting in Davos, Switzelland. This group of liberal, left-wing rich individuals, like George Soros, will meet to formulate what they call “The Great Reset.” These people want us to believe that the COVID pandemic and global climate change, are serious threats to the future of our world. Therefore, they believe there needs to be a one-world government to oversee and direct the radical changes that need to be imposed upon all the nations to deal with these kinds of dangers. They believe the nations must move away from nationalism and embrace a form of global socialism.

The members of WEF believe that we need to have a radical reset that will reboot the world’s foundational economic and social systems. They promote a government that will bring about income equality, gender equality, and health equality. In order for this to take place, all nations must submit to the one-world government and all of their agencies that will oversee the consumption, production, and management of all wealth and natural resources. In essence, they will promote taking the wealth from the more wealthy nations and giving it to the nations living in poverty. As the richest nation of earth, America is their number one target!

In order to make this happen, the WEF seeks to transition the world into the age of “the Fourth Industrial Revolution.” This will force all global participants to transition into a world that will employ the newest technologies in the digital, biological, and physical world. In other words, we must accept the latest trends that rely upon super-computers, including artificial intelligence robots. This is the perfect setting for the Antichrist’s global government that will seek to control every person on the planet.

A major part of their strategy is to promote a radical and unscientific view of the threat of global climate change. In just 10 years, they hope to move the world away from the use of fossil fuels – oil and coal. The current vehicle of compliance to accomplish this goal is the Paris Climate Accord. This is an attempt to get nations to begin to move away from fossil fuels and replace them with cleaner forms of energy – solar and wind. An examination of the compliance of the nations who have consented to this agreement, indicate that they are not serious about submitting to this plan, especially China and India. President Trump removed the U.S. from this agreement because he realized that it was being used to bring about the demise of the U.S. economy. However, under the Trump administration, the U.S. has made more progress in dealing with the climate change pollutants than other countries remaining in the Paris Climate Treaty. Stephen Moore, a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, comments, “The one country making substantial progress in reducing carbon emissions is the U.S. under President Donald Trump. Even though our domestic product is way up over the past four years, our carbon dioxide emissions are DOWN. Our air pollution levels and emissions of lead, carbon monoxide and other pollutants are at record-low levels” (Stephen Moore, www.gopusa.com, November 24, 2020).

Everyone knows that President Trump’s main focus for four years has been to “Make America Great.” He has restored a major wave of patriotism across America. He has openly and repeatedly stated that he is against socialism and a one-world government. In complete opposition to Trump’s agenda, the Democrats and Joe Biden are great supporters of the socialist agenda and NWO. Joe Biden says that one of his highest priorities as president will be to re-enter the Paris Climate Accord.

Is it any wonder that we have seen so much voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election? The entire world, with the exception of Israel, was promoting the election of Joe Biden. China, Russia, Iran, and other enemies of America, were against the re-election of Donald Trump. The radical left in America and around the world wants to get rid of Donald Trump. His presidency was and would be a roadblock to the success of the creation of a NWO, supported by all of the enemies of a free America.

The WEF has stated that it will attempt to force its agenda of a NWO upon the will of the nations. In order to do this, they have declared they will engage the younger generation to aid them in their agenda. They are forming a network of young people under the age of 30 that agree with their mission. They have already enlisted more than 7,000 members in 369 city-based hubs in 171 countries, calling them “the Global Shapers Community.” They hope these youth will help them to address local, regional, and global challenges that will assist the WEF to usher in a NWO.

Why are the NWO insiders recruiting the younger generation (up to age 30) to assist them in forcing their socialist agenda upon the world? They know that many of these youth have been uniquely misinformed and brainwashed by a wicked culture to lead the world into the slavery of a tyrannical one-world government. In his excellent book, The Gathering Storm, Albert Mohler, who is the president of a Southern Baptist Seminary, a prolific writer, and a major voice in American evangelical circles, devoted an entire chapter in his book describing this generation and what makes them unique. While citing several current surveys, Mohler describes them as a generation that is disconnected from God, church, and family. The most important thing in their life is self. They aspire to spiritual and moral relativism. That simply means that spiritual and moral values have no right or wrong answers. It all depends upon how you personally feel about it. Mohler says they have “replaced the sovereignty of God with the sovereignty of self” (p. 128). The Bible has warned us that this would be the core problem in the perilous times of the last days (2 Timothy 3:1-7).

In essence, this generation lacks maturity. They have had very few responsibilities in their childhood and adolescent experiences. Their time has been spent glued to a screen! They have been greatly influenced by social media, smart phones, and technological gadgets. “Their emergence into adulthood has been delayed by higher education, by delay of marriage, by economic instability, and the continued financial support of their parents” (Mohler, p. 129). This means that they do not understand the real matters that bear upon personal or family economics. Therefore, they have acquired an entitlement mentality. This is the perfect foundation for falling prey to the deception of a big government that promises to pay your bills and take care of you.

This generation has been brainwashed by liberal university and college professors who hate God, family, and the Bible. The great majority of these youth openly accept the socialist agenda. Most of them hate the Republican Party and are great fans of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, a radical liberal socialist who has many communist connections and friends.

It is not just a coincidence that this summer the U.S. witnessed unemployed youth rioting and looting in U.S. cities. It has been reported that these rioters were not local youth. It is apparent that someone has paid for their expenses in order for them to participate in these riots across America. Now, we know that all of this is being orchestrated by the far-left. Therefore, it is not a surprise that these same people would also steal the election from Donald Trump.

It is time for us to get on our knees and pray. The Apostle Paul exhorted the church to pray “for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:2-4). Only God can rescue us from the brink of national collapse.

What are we to think about all of this? Should we be troubled or concerned? Are we to remain silent and let come what may? Or, do we engage in the fight for America, by praying and exposing the evil agenda that is threatening America? I direct your attention to a godly servant – the prophet Daniel. When God gave him the vision and understanding of the wicked, blood-thirsty one-world government that would be controlled by the Antichrist, Daniel was deeply troubled.

In Daniel 7:15 he testified, “I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.” The word “grieved” in the original language of the text indicates Daniel was distressed or very anxious about the matter of the Antichrist’s kingdom. The word translated “troubled” could also be translated “terrified,” or “frightened.” So, Daniel was saying that he was emotionally stirred by the vision of the kingdom of the last days. Later, in Daniel 7:28 he said that his thoughts “much troubled [same word as in verse 15] me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.” Several chapters later, God told Daniel what would happen to his people “in the latter days” (Daniel 10:14). This vision troubled Daniel to the point that he fasted for three weeks and was in a deep state of mourning (Daniel 10:2-3). What can we learn from this testimony of Daniel? Remember that Daniel understood the sovereign hand of God in the process of kings and kingdoms (see Daniel 2:21). Daniel had great boldness and confidence while he spent the night in the lions’ den. However, this godly man was deeply moved by the understanding of the wicked NWO of the last days. For me, this is a great example for all of us. We are not to be detached from the world to the point that we do not care about what is taking place. I believe that we too need to be troubled and grieve for what we see taking place in our beloved nation. I must confess that in recent weeks, I have lain awake at night, concerned about what is about to take place in America. I am very concerned for my family and friends for what we are about to face. How should we pray? What should we do? How should we prepare? How can I best glorify my Lord? What can I do for my country?

We know how all of this is going to end. The Lord will eventually be coming to establish His kingdom upon this earth. It will be a time of righteousness. The law of God will rule over the nations. Evil and lawlessness will not be allowed. The King is coming!

However, before that kingdom comes, a great spiritual darkness will cover the earth (Isaiah 60:2). The evil empire of the Antichrist will march across the face of this earth. During the 7-year Tribulation Period, perhaps 85-90 percent of the world’s population will die. Listen to Isaiah 13:9, 11–12, “Behold, the day of the LORD [the Tribulation Period] cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. … And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. I will make a man more precious [rare] than fine gold…”

The other morning I looked out the back window of my house through the fog and the autumn leaves at an exceptionally beautiful sunrise. I was reminded of Lamentations 3:21-24: “This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul: therefore will I hope in him.”

In the midst of all the trials and disappointments of 2020, we need to focus upon the goodness and mercy of our great God. The leaves on the trees and the governments of men are forever changing and being tossed about. But, our God is like a rock and is forever unmovable and unchanging.

As we move deeper into these last days and all of the uncertainty, don’t take your eyes off Him. Isaiah 26:3 gives us this promise, “Thou [will] keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee: because he [trusts] in thee.”

Lies about Temple Mount Exposed

According to modern Islamic tradition, their founding prophet, Muhammad, ascended to heaven in his infamous “Night Journey” from the oldest mosque on the Jewish Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa. Therefore, according to this tradition, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem has become the third most holy site within the religion of Islam. However, in recent weeks, a Saudi Arabian journalist, Osama Yamani, has exposed the lie that has gripped the Middle East for many decades. According to Yamani, his research indicates that the real location of Muhammad’s night journey was not from Al-Aqsa in Jerusalem, but was from a mosque near Mecca in Saudi Arabia.

This “fake news” about the mosque in Jerusalem has been the battle cry for wars, violence, and bloodshed in the region. So, why did the Muslims promote this lie and advance this theory as a very important part of their faith? When Yamani was asked this question, he said, “The answer lies in the fact that Islam defines itself as a religion that did not enter the world to live in peace with Judaism and Christianity, the religions that preceded it, but as a universal religion that is meant to obliterate them and take over the world. Islam sees itself as ‘Din al-Haqq,’ the true religion, and Judaism and Christianity as ‘Din al Batil,’ the false religions. The Muslims fear that the Jewish people’s return to their land, cities, and the site of their Temple will grant Judaism the status of a vibrant, active and true religion, posing a theological threat to the very existence and raison d’etre of Islam.

“That is the reason that all Jewish activity on the Temple Mount, especially Jewish prayer, infuriates them, and they will do everything, including spreading prevarications and outright lies, to prevent the Jews from returning to the places from which they were exiled almost 2,000 years ago. That is what makes the conflict over Jerusalem the basis of a theological struggle whose source is the Muslim world’s inability to recognize the history and religious rights of non-Muslim believers, all whom are slated to disappear, according to Islam” (Adam Berkowitz, www.israel365news.com, November 16, 2020).

The timing of the exposure of this lie within the Islamic world is very significant. According to an understanding of Biblical prophecy, the covenant of the Antichrist that will inaugurate the beginning of the Tribulation Period will be also attached to the efforts of Israel to rebuild their temple on the Temple Mount. We know that at the middle of the Tribulation, three and one-half years later, the Antichrist will enter the temple and seize it for his purposes as a Muslim global leader (Daniel 9:27; 2 Thessalonians 2:4; Revelation 11:1-2).

As we examine the current movement of Sunni Arab Muslim nations entering into agreements to establish a relationship with Israel, one wonders if all of this is preparing the Islamic world for their recognition of the Temple Mount as being significant to Jewish history, rather than Islamic history. This could explain why the Antichrist would give Israel permission to build their temple on the Temple Mount at the onset of the Tribulation Period. Once again, one more piece of the puzzle for end-time events to unfold is coming into focus.

Get ready for the shout that will take us out.

Have a Blessed Christmas

As we come near the end of a very difficult year, we rejoice with all of you as we celebrate the first coming of the blessed Lord Jesus almost 2,000 years ago. The eternal Son of God became flesh and walked this earth to become God’s sacrificial lamb. He died for our sins.

When Jesus comes again, He will snatch us away to be His bride and we will be removed from the very presence and power of sin. Oh how we long for His blessed coming!

We thank all of you for your prayers and financial support during this challenging year. The Lord has been so gracious to supply all of our needs so that we could continue to serve Him.

Have a wonderful Christmas as we look for His coming.

Unmasking Socialism

Part Three

“Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife,

… nor anything that is thy neighbor’s.” (10th commandment- Exodus 20:17)

By Mike Wingfield

This article is the third and final part of a three-part series on the evils of socialism. Please read the previous two newsletters before you attempt to read this one. In these articles, I refer to socialism as practically being the same as Marxism or Communism. In principle there is very little difference in these political philosophies. Each of these political agendas originated with Karl Marx, an atheist Jewish German philosopher in the 19th century. The purpose of these articles is four fold: (1) to scrutinize and evaluate the principles of socialism under the lens of Scripture, (2) to help Americans understand the threat of socialism to our faith and freedoms, (3) to review the historical and prophetic impacts of socialism, and (4) to expose the mission and tactics of those who are seeking to destroy the constitutional government of the United States of America and transform our country into a socialist state that will become a puppet of the New World Order. Please share this newsletter with all of your family, churches, and friends. We need to get this truth to America before the election in just a few days. Please join me in prayer that the Lord will use these articles to open the eyes of many Americans who have been deceived into believing that socialism is a good choice for our nation.

In just a few days, Americans will go to the voting polls and select our nation’s leaders. There is no question that this is the most critical election in the history of our great nation. The results of this election could radical change our nation and tragically alter the course of global humanity. It is a fact that what America does as a leader in the world impacts the entire planet.

Statistical data indicate that America has reached a very dangerous tipping point where almost one-half of its citizens look at socialism favorably. Most of those who favor this dangerous ideology are our youth, along with those who affiliate with the Democratic Party. Our young people are being brainwashed by liberal socialist professors at our nation’s universities and colleges. Sadly, our younger generation has been duped into believing that America and capitalism are evil. They have been deceived into believing that socialism is their ticket to economic liberty, with free stuff from the government.

The Democratic Party, in the last few decades, has been hijacked by the left-wing extremists who are bent on transforming America into a socialist state. They want to usher in a New World Order, devoid of God of the Bible, and His commandments. Read Psalm 2.

However, many Americans refuse to believe the Democrat Party is affiliated with socialism. I challenge them to check out the Website of the Democratic Socialists of America – www.dsausa.org . Read about the agenda of these socialists on their Website and you will discover that this is the same goal of Democrats running for office in this election.

Socialists hate Christians because they hate God. They hate God because the Bible exposes their lies and thirst for power. The philosophy of socialism was created by atheists and it is the choice of those who want to ruthlessly rule over people by taking away the freedoms their Creator gave them. Look at the histories of Russia and China. In these communist nations (remember that socialism is only the first step toward communism) the people are the slaves of a government that controls every facet of their lives. They have no rights, no freedoms, and no property.

One of the driving forces behind socialism is the ultimate confiscation of all personal property. Dinesh D’Souza correctly states in his excellent book, United States of Socialism, “the central moral claim of American socialism [is] collective ownership. At least in principle, nothing is yours, nothing is mine, everything is ours” (Dinesh D’Souza, United States of Socialism, p. 14). The collective ownership of all property is controlled by the state. They own everything – banks, all commercial adventures, corporations, farms, resources, personal property, and our life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

Those who promote socialism from the top down, realize they will be the ones who will manage the affairs of the people. History teaches that these leaders deceptively manipulate the people and control the possessions for their own personal gain. D’Souza states that socialism “is driven by lust for money and lust for power …. In principle, no less than in practice, socialism is the ideology of thieves and tyrants. As for the people who fall for the temptation, they are connivers attracted by the rip-off scheme” (p. 9).

The Bible supports the system of capitalism and the ownership of personal property. In the Bible, the possession of wealth is not looked upon as being evil, but is viewed as a sign of the blessing of God (Ecclesiastes 5:18-19).

In ancient Biblical times, people owned property and personal wealth. Land properties were marked (Deuteronomy 19:14). Deeds were recorded and retained by the one who purchased the property (Jeremiah 32:9-12).

God’s law provided protection for people’s personal property. The 8^th commandment states, “Thou shalt not steal” (Exodus 20:15). Obviously, this command demands that others honor the personal ownership of property and wealth of others. Dr. Walter Kaiser, who is president emeritus and distinguished professor of Old Testament and Ethics at Gordon-Cornwell Theological Seminary, states that this commandment also “regarded as criminal all attempts to take that property from a person by a fraudulent way and to then regard it as one’s own.”

The Bible teaches that all wealth and property belong to the Lord (Psalm 89:11; 104:24; Haggai 2:8). Therefore, what we view as being our property really belongs to God. For example, God told Israel that the Promised Land belonged to Him (Leviticus 25:23). Therefore, the Bible teaches that we are only managers of God’s property. Furthermore, private property in the Bible was viewed as a very significant part of God’s order for society. A person’s property was tied to the past and the future of his family. When wicked King Ahab approached Naboth to purchase his vineyard, Naboth said, “The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee” (1 Kings 21:3). When Ahab had Naboth killed, and seized his property, God condemned his sin (1 Kings 21:17-22).

When socialism declares that all personal property becomes the collective ownership of the state, it is attempting to displace God as the owner of all of His creation. In the Bible, God states that human government is to be a servant of God as it serves and protects the people and their properties (Romans 13:1-4). However, the leaders of socialism ignore the ownership of God and forcefully remove the property of others as they ruthlessly rule over them. This is why socialism is so appealing to wicked men who do not honor nor recognize God and His social order.

Socialism is based upon the sins of envy, stealing, and covetousness. The Bible openly condemns these sins as offences to God. Proverbs 14:30 says, “Envy [is as] the rottenness of the bones.” Galatians 5:21 states that those who are filled with envy shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Psalm 10:3 says, “For the wicked [boasts] of his heart’s desire, and [blesses] the covetous, whom the LORD [abhors].” The Bible clearly condemns those who attempt to take away another man’s property by force. This is the very essence of socialism. Micah 2:1, 2 speaks clearly about the evil practices of socialism when it says, “Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! When the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand. And they covet fields, and take them by violence, and houses, and take them away, so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.”

Jesus warned us that covetousness comes out of a wicked heart (Mark 7:21, 22). He said, “Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life [consists] not in the abundance of the things which he [possess]” (Luke 12:15).

It is very apparent that those who are promoting socialism in America really do not care this nation or its people. They hate America! They do not care how much suffering, pain, or death they bring upon people. They only care about their own agenda. They promote division, greed, deception, immorality, violence, and lawlessness. They plunder, steal, murder, brutalize, and rape innocent people. They have joined forces with Satan and his demons who are in the business of deceptively weakening the nations (Isaiah 14:12), destroying marriages and the home, and attacking the church (Matthew 16:18).

For several decades, the socialists in America have attempted to achieve their goal by weakening the nation and dividing its people. They have twisted the facts and manipulated situations to promote a toxic hate across America. D’Souza writes, “Socialism in America today has turned black against white, female against male, homosexual against heterosexual and illegals against legal immigrants and American citizens.

“The point, for the left, is not merely to include but to exclude, to estrange their opponents from their own native land. … Whiteness, maleness and heterosexuality are now viewed as being pathological, as forms of oppression. In this way, the left by design seeks to demonize white male heterosexuality and thus make a large body of Americans feel like aliens in their own country” (pages 95, 99).

The socialists are also attempting to destroy America by attacking our Biblical moral values that have been the very foundation of America. They want us to openly reject the most basic laws of gender identity and the Biblically mandated roles of the husband and wife in the home (Ephesians 5:22-33). They are seeking to destroy the sanctity of marriage and the order of the home. They seek to pay honor to every form of sexually deviant behavior that is condemned by God in the Bible. They have made evil good and good evil. The Bible and history teach that when a culture has destroyed their moral foundation, it will collapse. Psalm 11:3 declares, “If the foundations [the settled order of things] be destroyed, what can the righteous do?”

Why would socialists do this? In their minds, what is the relationship of morality to the political/economic tenets of socialism? Socialists realize that our conscience and common sense tell us that it is wrong to live off of other people’s wealth. Therefore, if they are to successfully advance their case of stealing the wealth of others by causing people to envy the rich and covet their wealth, they must destroy the conscience of those who are being brainwashed by socialism.

In my book, Living in a World without a Conscience, I explain that immorality and violence are the top two conscience killers. When a person or culture continually ignores their conscience, it will eventually destroy the conscience (1 Timothy 4:1). When this happens, God ceases to strive in the conscience of that person and gives them over to their own depraved and deadly way of thinking (Romans 1:18-22). They are forever doomed for hell. They refuse “to retain God in their knowledge” (Romans 1:28). They are filled with a dangerous toxic love for self (2 Timothy 3:1, 2). Their speech is filled with “lies in hypocrisy” (1 Timothy 4:2). [Think about the truth bashing going on during this election process.]

W ithout any shame or guilt, those who have killed their conscience begin to act like animals. Read the character description of these people in Romans 1:28-32 and 2 Timothy 3:2-9. These people are dangerous and if they gain control of our nation, they will quickly destroy it.

The leaders of this socialist movement are seeking to use our young people, the oppressed, the poor, illegal aliens, and wicked criminals. They know that these groups are vulnerable to their message to steal from those who have worked hard to give it to those who want what others have without working for it. These actions certainly reveal that they do not have the best interest of America in mind as they push forward their evil socialist agenda.

Another tool of destruction of the socialists is to overload the American economy to point of collapse. America is on the verge of bankruptcy. The politicians, especially those who are socialists at heart, are spending money faster than the Federal Reserve can print it. The federal government now has a debt of almost $27 trillion, with $155 trillion in unfunded liabilities. This is unsustainable! America now owes more than it is collectively worth! We are already bankrupt and do not know it!

State debt is also out of control, with 40 states that do not have the means to pay their bills. Remember that it is not legal for state governments to borrow money. Corporate debt is now a staggering $15.5 trillion. Consumer debt now stands at the dangerous level of $13.9 trillion. Americans are now carrying an average debt of $8,398 on their credit cards.

The COVID-19 pandemic, and our reaction to it, is destroying what is left of our economy. It is reported that 60 percent of all U.S. restaurants may close permanently. More than 100,000 small businesses will close their doors. Air travel is down by 70 percent. The hotel industry is collapsing. America is facing an economic disaster that will be more catastrophic than the Great Depression.

When the economy does collapse in America and around the world, the evil leaders of the world, the socialists and communists, will applaud this tragic event. They view problems of this magnitude as an opportunity to seize the moment and take control. I am convinced that many of the socialists want a much larger COVID-19 stimulus bill to be passed to help bring about this collapse a little sooner. If this were to happen before the election, it would serve their purpose.

Another tool of the liberal left is the “Green New Deal.” They want to reorder our world without any use of fossil fuels. For many decades we have heard the political spin on “Global Warming,” and “Climate Change.” When President Donald Trump took office in 2017, he disengaged our country from the international attempts to force upon America unreasonable regulations that were destroying our economy.

The proponents of the “Green New Deal” are trying to frighten the public into believing that man-made emissions are the cause for the warming of the planet. There is some evidence that our planet is warming and that it is the cause of some of the radical deadly weather patterns. However, true science proves that man-made emissions are only a very small fraction of the cause for this warming trend. True science indicates that this warming is being driven by radical and unusual radiation cycles of the sun (Revelation 16:8-9). It is also being fueled by the increasing number of massive earthquakes that are triggering a great number of volcanic eruptions around the world. When these volcanoes erupt, many of them emit dangerous gases from the interior of the earth that destroy our protective ozone layer around the world.

According to the Bible, the end of this age will be a time of increased earthquake and volcanic activity (Luke 21:11). During the Tribulation Period there will be several global earthquakes and massive volcanic eruptions (Ezekiel 38:17-20; Revelation 6:12-14; 16:17-21). The volcanic ash from these eruptions will increasingly fill earth’s atmosphere blotting out the light of the sun around the world (Revelation 8:12; 16:10). All of this will create a major problem with global warming. Listen to the warning about the Tribulation Period in Malachi 4:1, “For, behold, the day [comes] that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble; and the day that [comes] shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts…”

The socialists are condemning President Trump because he is not buying into the warped scientific reports of our day. The bottom line is that global warming is coming. It will be a massive judgment of God that will emanate from God’s control of the sun and the geological processes of the earth that are under His authority. Man cannot stop global warming because it is in the hands of God.

So, the “Green New Deal” is a massive scam to destroy the wealth of America and remake the country into a socialist state that it will fit into the New World Order scheme of the socialists. The socialists are intentionally distorting their facts to promote their agenda. God has a great surprise for them.

Please encourage your friends to vote. Don’t avoid voting because you do not have any candidate that meets all of your criteria for their office. For years, we have had to make a choice for the lesser of two evils in many election choices. There is a vast difference in the candidates running for the office of president this election. One wants to make America great. The other wants to make America a socialist state. One is pro-life. The other candidate is for abortion. One candidate holds to the Biblical order of marriage and decency. The other candidate supports an immoral agenda that honors sexual perversions. One candidate openly talks about God and the Bible, while the other candidate belongs to a party that avoids talking about God. One candidate stands up against evil in China and Iran, while the other one does not. One candidate has surrounded himself with friends and counselors that love America. The other candidate has surrounded himself with friends and counselors who hate America and are plotting the destruction of a free constitutional America.

Frankly, there are some things about all the candidates that I detest. However, I am not focusing on personality issues. I am focusing upon what these candidates believe about God, the Bible, the sanctity of life, justice, freedom, and law and order. I pray that the Lord will give you wisdom to make a choice that agrees with God’s holiness and His Biblical standards. Please put God first, America second, and then consider your political party.

Friends, we need to pray like we have never prayed before. What is about to happen in America will change our nation and the course of human history. This will greatly impact our churches, our freedoms, and our way of life. God is preparing America and the world for the pouring out of His wrath during the Tribulation Period.

I want to encourage you that none of this has caught God by surprise. He is still on the throne and He is the one who is directing the affairs of this nation and the nations of the world. He is the One that “[changes] the times and the seasons: he [removes] kings, and [sets] up kings… (Daniel 2:21). When the hour arrives, He will usher the command to the Antichrist, “Come” (Revelation 6:1).

I believe that the coming of our Lord for His church is imminent. If you know Him, you need to prepare your soul to enter into His divine presence. What a day that will be! As that hour approaches, we need to “abide in him; that when he shall appear; we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming” (1 John 2:28). Do not let the world pour you into its godless mold of wickedness and immorality. We need to act like children of the most holy God! “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it [does] not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him [purifies] himself, even as he is pure” (1 John 3:2, 3).

Friend, if you are not saved, I beg you to confess that Jesus is God, and repent of your sins. If the Holy Spirit is knocking on the door of your soul, please open the door and let Jesus come into your life.

The Bible says, “That if [you shall] confess with [your] mouth the Lord Jesus, and [shall] believe in [your] heart that God [has] raised him from the dead, [you] shall be saved. … Whosoever [believes] on him shall not be ashamed. … For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:9, 11, 13).

Friend, this very well could be your last opportunity to receive Christ and be saved during this age of grace. The deception that is capturing the souls of men and dragging them down to hell is powerful and alive and well on planet earth. Oh how I pray you receive Him before it is too late.

Please help us to get these newsletters on socialism into the hands of many of your friends, family, co-workers, neighbors, and church family. We must arm ourselves with the truth as we vote this year. The stakes are high. America is not mentioned in the events of the end-times in the Bible. Are we watching the end of America as the last free superpower on earth?

May God have mercy on America!

Turkey Claims that Jerusalem “is our city”

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan a few days ago declared that Israel’s capital “is our city” (World Israel News, October 2, 2020). Erdogan has dreams of restoring Turkey’s position as the leader of the Islamic world. The Ottoman Empire controlled Jerusalem and the Holy Land for 400 years, from 1517-1917.

Erdogan continues to express his hatred for the Jewish presence in the Promised Land. He continues to make friends of those who also are enemies of Israel.

Turkey is one of the major nations that will join Russia and Iran (leaders of Turkey and Iran pictured above) in an attempted invasion of Israel during the Gog and Magog war mentioned in Ezekiel 38-39.

According to the Bible, the city of Jerusalem will continue to be at the center of global attention. When the end comes, God will gather all nations to Jerusalem and deal with all nations in judgment at the Battle of Armageddon (Zechariah 14:2, 3).

Israel, a World Leader in Turning Salt Water into Drinking Water

I have been amazed at how God is preparing Israel for her endurance during the Tribulation Period. Because she was so isolated from the international community for decades, Israel made it a point to be self-sufficient as a nation. She grows almost all the food she consumes. She excels in all areas to supply her own needs for transportation, utilities, commercial manufacturing, defense, health and pharmaceutical necessities, and computer technologies.

Israel is also a world leader in producing fresh water from ocean water at several large desalination plants. Israel transforms about 80 percent of all drinking water from desalination technology. No other nation comes close to that.

During the Tribulation Period there will be a major global crisis for fresh water (Revelation 8:10, 11; 16:4-7). Amazingly, God is preparing Israel for this crisis.
