Luke 21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. 26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

From last week’s Bible study 10/28/2023: “Heads of states and religious and secular leaders seem to be playing whack-a-mole in real time with the bewildering problems of planet earth”…. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken 10/31/2023: “If we start to peel off pieces of this package, they’ll see that, they’ll understand that we are playing whack-a-mole while they cooperate increasingly and pose an ever-greater threat to our security as well as to that of our allies and partners”

 (CNN) Tuesday, October 31 2023 A storm that brought heavy rain and violent winds to Northern Italy overnight and early Tuesday sent rapid floods through central Milan and caused Lake Como to breach its banks. Several waterside bars were flooded at the lake — a popular tourist attraction.

[The Great Controversy pp 623] Fearful sights of a supernatural character will soon be revealed in the heavens, in token of the power of miracle-working demons. The spirits of devils will go forth to the kings of the earth and to the whole world, to fasten them in deception, and urge them on to unite with Satan in his last struggle against the government of Heaven. By these agencies, rulers and subjects will be alike deceived.

Revelation 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14 And deceives them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!

               From Democracy to Theocracy

Luke 21:10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: 11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

We are beginning to see very troubling signs of the demise of our democracy and according to the Bible some wise soul will have the lights go on in his/ her head, and will come to the conclusion that America needs to turn back to God. In fact, almost every prophecy, pointing to the last days of earth’s history, is now converging on our doorsteps and it won’t be long before theocracy of the man-made sort, will emerge in America. Each prophecy pointing forward to the times spoken of in Daniel, and in the Revelation is currently being fulfilled, and therefore, there is only one more shoe to drop, which is the inevitable transition from our democracy to a theocracy.

CNN Updated 9:19 PM EDT, Tue October 31, 2023 Why Speaker Johnson says America is not a democracy. It might surprise you to learn that the new speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, has said “we don’t live in a democracy.” He described it in the past as “two wolves and a sheep deciding what’s for dinner”.

Instead, Johnson has said that the Founders set up America as a constitutional republic “because they followed a biblical admonition.” Mother Jones reported that Johnson has called for “biblically sanctioned government” and promoted the notion that the United States is a “Christian nation.” As recently as last month, Johnson dismissed as a fiction, the idea of separation of church and state.

Revelation 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
