BLP: Nayib Bukele Calls out the
United States Government for Criticizing El Salvador’s Pro-Law & Order Policies
- By Jose Nino - Mar 8, 2023 - Ever since president of El Salvador Nayib Bukele
unveiled a new mega prison towards the end of February, his government has
received criticism from Western public officials and the usual assortment of
non-governmental organizations (NGOs). This mega prison was created to house
potentially 40,000 prisoners, mainly from criminal gangs such as MS-13 and
Barrio 18. Thousands of detained gang members were transferred to the prison
dubbed as the “Center for the Confinement of Terrorism.” Its creation is part
of Bukele’s broader efforts to fight crime in El Salvador, which has a
reputation of being one of the most dangerous countries on the planet. (Comment:
The MS-13 gangs were the ones the Obama/Biden communist regime were letting
across the border, then using them to assassinate whomever they wanted. That is
why the white hats have dopplegangers as well as the black hats.) On March 7th
he stated, “The United States Government is putting PROVEN INNOCENTS in jail
and is, at the same time, concerned about us putting PROVEN CRIMINALS in jail.”

HAL TURNER SHOW: Financials getting

Credit Suisse Winding Down? – NATION - HAL TURNER - 10 MARCH 2023 - Silicon
Valley Bank online banking system and mobile services are now unavailable for
business clients. The stock is down over 80% yesterday alone. In 2021 SVB saw a
mass influx in deposits, which jumped from $61.76bn at the end of 2019 to
$189.20bn at the end of 2021. As deposits grew, SVB could not grow their loan
book fast enough to generate the yield they wanted to see on this capital. As a
result, they purchased a large amount (over $80bn!) in mortgage backed
securities (MBS) with these deposits for their hold-to-maturity (HTM)
portfolio. https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/en/news-page/news-nation/financials-getting-destroyed-silvergate-capital-svb-financial-down-70-rumors-of-bank-runs

MISES WIRE: A Permanent Wartime
Economy Macroeconomics Monetary Theory - 03/08/2023Jeff Deist - This is the
argument for more money printing, and perhaps unlimited money printing,
recently advanced by Professor Mariana Mazzucato on prime-time BBC. - Progressives
of all political stripes would happily put America and the West on a permanent
wartime footing. Mazzucato and her contemporaries are political people, and
politics is war by other means. Inequality, climate change, racism,
transphobia, pandemics, and a host of other issues—none of which ever should
have been politicized—are now tantamount to battlefields. War costs money, and
magic economics wants us to believe national treasuries and central banks can
foot any bill. https://mises.org/wire/permanent-wartime-economy

REAL RAW NEWS: JAG Sentences Janssen
Vaccine Scientist to Death - By Michael Baxter -March 8, 2023 - The United

maintaining a confidential company database detailing how Janssen prevented
trial participants whom the vaccine had sickened from seeing their personal
physicians. Instead, Janssen’s compulsory NDA mandated—through coercion and
litigation threats–that the sick use hospitals and clinics where the
pharmaceutical company had a presence, even if the ill had private or
employer-sponsored health insurance. https://realrawnews.com/2023/03/jag-sentences-janssen-vaccine-scientist-to-death/
REAL RAW NEWS: Marines “Unalive”
Clinton Clones in New York and San Diego - By Michael Baxter -March 5, 2023 - “The

“unalived” two Hillary Clones on opposite sides of the country at the same time
of day. When Gen. Smith heard that Clinton would attend a Monday memorial
service for a liberal billionaire who allegedly put a bullet in his brain on 23
February, he activated a Marine reconnaissance platoon to investigate the
claim. He was doubly concerned because Clinton was also scheduled to attend a
fundraising brunch at the Coasterra Restaurant in San Diego—3,000 miles away
and only an hour after Thomas H. Lee’s Manhattan memorial was scheduled to
begin. Unless the person purporting to be Clinton had access to a Star Trek transporter
or could pilot an SR-71 Blackbird, she couldn’t magically appear simultaneously
in New York and California…. https://realrawnews.com/2023/03/marines-unalive-clinton-clones-in-new-york-and-san-diego/

Recommended Books on Bible Prophecy
by Dr. David R. Reagan
Published on: December 7, 2013
Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd
March 10th 2023
PROPHECY STUDY RESOURCES
One of the best overall books on
Bible prophecy that has ever been published is Things to Come by Dwight
Pentecost (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 1964). It is scholarly and
comprehensive, written for serious, college level students.
Surveys
The Master Plan, by David Reagan
(Eugene, OR: Harvest House, 1993) contains a comprehensive survey of all aspects
of Bible prophecy. It was written for the layman and is easy to read and
understand. A similar comprehensive study that is more scholarly in its
approach is a book by Paul N. Benware entitled Understanding End Time Prophecy
(Chicago, Moody Press, 1995).
With regard to end time prophecies
only, one of the best surveys for the more general reader is Leon Woods’ book,
The Bible and Future Events (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 1973). Other very
readable surveys are The Final Chapter by S. Maxwell Coder (Wheaton, IL:
Tyndale House, 1984) and A Survey of Bible Prophecy by R. Ludwigson (Grand
Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 1973). The King is Coming by H.L. Willmington (Wheaton,
IL: Tyndale House, 1973) presents an overview of end time events in a very
unique and easy to follow outline form.
A spiral bound study guide by David
Reagan, called, The Christ in Prophecy Study Guide (Plano, TX: Lamb & Lion
Ministries, 1987), presents an analytical survey of all Messianic prophecy
contained in both the Old and New Testaments. Another indispensable reference
volume that presents an exhaustive survey is All the Messianic Prophecies of
the Bible by Herbert Lockyer (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 1979).
A survey book intended for the
serious student is Arnold Fruchtenbaum’s encyclopedic study of Tribulation
events which bears the strange title, The Footsteps of the Messiah(Tustin, CA:
Ariel Press, 1982). It focuses on showing the sequence of end time events and
their relationship to each other.
A brief and fascinating survey book
full of penetrating insights is one titled What on Earth is God Doing?
(Neptune, NJ: Loizeaux Brothers, 1973). It was written by Renald Showers, a
gifted teacher and writer who serves the Friends of Israel Ministry. The book
presents a capsule overview of God’s purposes in history from start to finish.
Interpretation
Nothing is more important to the
understanding of Bible prophecy than the principles of interpretation that are
applied to it. An excellent introductory book for the general reader isHow to
Study Bible Prophecy for Yourself by Tim LaHaye (Eugene, OR: Harvest House,
1990).
The most profound book ever written
on the topic is The Interpretation of Prophecy by Paul Lee Tan (Winona Lake,
IN: Assurance Publishers, 1974). This book is an essential tool for any serious
student of prophecy.
The history of prophetic
interpretation is presented in great detail in the amazing, four volume,
encyclopedic study calledThe Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers, edited by LeRoy
Edwin Froom (Washington, D.C.: Review and Herald Press). Volume 1 (1950) covers
the Early Church. Volume 2 (1948) surveys the Pre-Reformation and Reformation
periods. Volume 3 (1946) looks at the Colonial American and European Awakening.
Volume 4 (1946) provides a look at the 19th Century. This great work of
scholarship took years to complete. The first two volumes are based upon
original research conducted throughout Europe in the 1920’s and 1930’s,
utilizing ancient documents, many of which were destroyed in World War II.
Symbolic
Perhaps the least understood area of
prophecy is symbolic prophecy, sometimes called prophecy in type. About half of
Herbert Lockyer’s book, All the Messianic Prophecies of the Bible, is dedicated
to this important topic (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 1979).
Two books concerning symbolic
prophecy that are easy to read and are full of useful insights are Christ in
the Tabernacleby Louis Talbot (Chicago, IL: Moody Press, 1978) and Jesus in the
Feasts of Israel by Richard Booker (S. Plainfield, NJ: Bridge Publishing,
1987).
Old Testament Prophets
A magnificent introduction to all the
Old Testament prophets is provided by Leon Wood in his exceptional book, The
Prophets of Israel (Schaumburg, IL: Regular Baptist Press, 1979).
One of the finest commentators on the
Old Testament prophets is Charles Feinberg, a Messianic Jew. His works include
God Remembers: A Study of Zechariah (Portland, OR: Multnomah Press, 1965);
Jeremiah: A Commentary(Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 1982); and The Prophecy of
Ezekiel: The Glory of the Lord (Chicago, IL: Moody Press, 1969). A good
introduction to Isaiah can be found in the book by Herbert Wolf entitled
Interpreting Isaiah: The Suffering and Glory of the Messiah (Grand Rapids, MI:
Zondervan, 1985).
An outstanding series of scholarly
commentaries on Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel can be found in volume 6 of The
Expositor’s Bible Commentary edited by Frank E. Gaebelein (Grand Rapids, MI:
Zondervan, 1986). The commentary on Isaiah is by G. W. Grogan; Jeremiah is by
Charles L. Feinberg; and Ezekiel is by Ralph H. Alexander.
There are a number of good books
about the Minor Prophets. Two that are designed for the general reader are
Major Truths from the Minor Prophets by John Hunter (Grand Rapids, MI:
Zondervan, 1977) and Will We Ever Catch Up with the Bible? by David Hubbard
(Glendale, CA: Regal Books, 1977).
The best scholarly resource on the
Minor Prophets is to be found in volume 7 of The Expositor’s Bible
Commentaryedited by Frank E. Gaebelein (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 1985). The
authors of the commentaries on the specific books read like a who’s who of
Evangelical scholars. A fine single volume scholarly study is the one by
Charles Fineberg entitledThe Minor Prophets (Chicago, IL: Moody Press, 1976).
Israel
The best panoramic survey of Israel
in prophecy is contained in Walter K. Price’s intriguing book, Next Year in
Jerusalem(Chicago, IL: Moody Press, 1975). Another very good overview is
Richard Booker’s outstanding study, Blow the Trumpet in Zion (Tulsa, OK:
Victory House, 1985).
An excellent book that relates
prophecy to the history of Israel, particularly modern history, is called It is
No Dream(W. Collingswood, NJ: The Spearhead Press, 1978). It was written by
Elwood McQuaid, the Director of the Friends of Israel Ministry. Charles Feinberg
has also produced an excellent volume that mixes prophecy with history. It is
titledIsrael: At the Center of History and Revelation (Portland, OR: Multnomah
Press, 1980).
Daniel
An outstanding verse by verse
commentary on Daniel is the one by Leon Woods that is simply entitled, A
Commentary on Daniel (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 1973). The best one for the
general reader is by Renald Showers. It is titled The Most High God (W.
Collingswood, NJ: The Friends of Israel, 1982). A lighter book that is both fun
to read and inspirational in character is Daniel: God’s Man in a Secular
Society by Donald Campbell (Grand Rapids, MI: Discovery House, 1988). It is
designed to serve as a study guide for Bible study groups.
No book of the Bible has been
attacked as viciously by theological liberals as the book of Daniel. A
tremendous defense of the book’s integrity can be found in a volume
calledDaniel in the Critic’s Den by Josh McDowell (San Bernardino, CA: Campus
Crusade for Christ, 1979).
Revelation
Many excellent studies have been
published about the book of Revelation. For the general reader, the two best
areRevelation Illustrated and Made Plain by Tim LaHaye (Grand Rapids, MI:
Zondervan, 1973) and There’s a New World Coming by Hal Lindsey (Santa Ana, CA:
Vision House, 1973). Lindsey’s book is the best one he has ever written.
For those who desire to dig deeper,
The Revelation Record(Wheaton, IL: Tyndale House, 1983) by Henry Morris
presents a detailed verse by verse analysis. Dr. Morris is the distinguished
founder of the Institute for Creation Research.
A very unique study of Revelation is
the one produced by Salem Kirban, a born again Arab. The book utilizes hundreds
of photos, charts and drawings to visually present the message of Revelation.
It is titled, Revelation Visualized(Huntingdon, Valley, PA: Salem Kirban, Inc.,
1978). What makes it even more unusual is that it is co-authored by Gary Cohen,
a born again Jew!
An outstanding introduction to
Revelation and the various methods of interpreting it is supplied by Merrill
Tenney in his remarkably balanced volume, Interpreting Revelation(Grand Rapids,
MI: Eerdmans, 1957).
Millennial Viewpoints
The best introduction to the various
and often confusing viewpoints of end time prophecy is a book by Robert
Lightner called The Last Days Handbook (Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson, 1990).
A very thought provoking book on the
topic is one edited by Robert G. Clouse entitled The Meaning of the
Millennium(Downer’s Grove, IL: Inter-Varsity Press, 1977). It contains four
viewpoints presented by advocates of those viewpoints. A similar but more
detailed presentation of the four viewpoints can be found in the parallel
commentary by Steve Gregg calledRevelation: Four Views (Nashville, TN: Thomas
Nelson, 1997). A scholarly presentation and analysis of the various views is
contained in John Walvoord’s book, The Millennial Kingdom (Grand Rapids, MI:
Zondervan, 1959).
For a classic presentation of the
fundamentals of premillennial theology, the book to read is The Basis of the
Premillennial Faith by Charles Ryrie (Neptune, NJ: Loizeaux Brothers, 1953). It
is brief and incisive, and it is written with an irenic spirit.
The Antichrist
One of the most detailed studies of
the Antichrist ever written is the book by Arthur W. Pink entitled, The
Antichrist. It is thoroughly biblical and very thought provoking. It was
originally published in 1923 but has been recently republished (Grand Rapids,
MI: Kregel, 1988). The best current day study is the book by Ed Hindson
entitled, Is the Antichrist Alive and Well?: Ten Keys to His Identity (Eugene,
OR: Harvest House, 1998).
The Rapture
The important controversy over the
timing of the Rapture has been best addressed by John Walvoord in two of his
books:The Blessed Hope and the Tribulation (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 1976)
and The Rapture Question (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 1979). Walvoord is the
former President of Dallas Theological Seminary. Another fine book on the topic
isThe Rapture by Hal Lindsey (New York, NY: Bantam Books, 1983).
Tim LaHaye has written a very
powerful and exhaustive defense of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture entitled No Fear
of the Storm: Why Christians Will Escape All the Tribulation(Sisters, OR:
Multnomah, 1992, later re-published as Rapture Under Attack, 1998).
Signs of the Times
This is a field that attracts many
sensationalist writers. There is an abundance of books, but few good ones. One
of the most fascinating is World War III: Signs of the Impending Battle of
Armageddon by John Wesley White (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 1977).
A volume that is comprehensive in
scope but exceptionally brief is Signs of the Second Coming by Robert G. Witty
(Nashville, TN: Broadman Press, 1969). A more recent study, and an excellent
one, is by Henry Morris. It is titled Creation and the Second Coming (Green
Forest, AR: Master Books, 1991).
One of the best prophetic writers to
emerge in recent years is Ed Hindson of Liberty University. His books are
solidly biblical and down-to-earth, readable by the average Christian. He has
written two outstanding studies of the signs of the times:Final Signs (Eugene,
OR: Harvest House, 1996) and Earth’s Final Hour: Are We Really Running Out of Time?
(Eugene, OR: Harvest House, 1999). Another excellent writer in the field of
Bible prophecy is Dave Hunt of Berean Ministries. He has produced a very
insightful study of the end time signs in his book, How Close Are We? (Eugene,
OR: Harvest House, 1993).
Heaven
The Eternal State has been the most
ignored area of Bible prophecy, probably because the Bible says so little about
it. The best book on the topic – one that covers death, resurrection and
eternity – is The Future Life by the Frenchman, Rene Pache, translated into
English by Helen Needham (Chicago, IL: Moody Press, 1962). A very worthwhile,
exhaustive study of the Eternal State can be found in Bob Chambers’ book,
Heaven (Joplin, MO: College Press, 1991). This is an unusual book because
Chambers is an Amillennialist who spiritualizes the prophecies about the
Millennial while interpreting the prophecies about Heaven literally!
Children
Only one book has ever been written
for pre-school and elementary children concerning end time prophetic events. It
was written by David Reagan and is entitled Jesus is Coming Again! (Eugene, OR:
Harvest House, 1992). The book emphasizes the positive promises of God
regarding the Millennium and the Eternal State.
Media
Dave Reagan and Chuck Missler have
both produced cassette tape albums that contain verse-by-verse commentaries on
the book of Revelation. Reagan’s Revelation Overview (Lamb & Lion
Ministries) contains 12 tapes. Missler’s Revelation Commentary (Koinonia
Ministries) consists of three albums with eight tapes each. Jack Van Impe has
produced an excellent series of video commentaries on Revelation
calledRevelation Revealed (Jack Van Impe Ministries).
Ray Stedman’s outstanding commentary
on Revelation can be found posted on the Internet in 23 messages atwww.pbc.org/stedman
(Peninsula Bible Church).
The best illustrations of Revelation
have been produced by Pat Marvenko Smith. She has illustrated every main scene
of the book and has made the pictures available in a variety of forms — slides,
posters, overhead transparencies, video, and PowerPoint (Revelation Illustrated
Ministries).
Fiction
The “Left Behind” series of books by
Tim LaHaye and Larry B. Jenkins present a fictionalized story about the Rapture
and the Tribulation that is based upon biblical prophecies. This series is
published by Tyndale House and has broken all sales records for prophetic
books. The series of novels has become a best seller even when compared to
secular books. The books have been made available on audio tape, and special edited
versions have been published for teens. The first of the volumes, entitled Left
Behind, was published in 1995.
Bibles
The very first study Bible ever
published came out in 1909. It is still one of the best selling study Bibles in
the world. It was produced by a Dallas pastor named C.I. Scofield and is
calledThe Scofield Study Bible (Urichsville, OH: Barbour Publishing, 2000) It
has been revised and updated regularly over the years by an editorial committee
representing a premillennial, pre-tribulational viewpoint.
A newer study Bible that presents the
same view of the passages related to end time prophecy is The Ryrie Study Bible
(Chicago, IL: Moody Press, 1976). Both the Scofield and Ryrie commentaries are
available in a variety of translations. The latest and most up to date study
Bible that focuses on the interpretation of prophecy is The Tim LaHaye Prophecy
Study Bible (Chattanooga, TN: AMG Publishers, 2000).
The Living Bible Paraphrased
(Wheaton, IL: Tyndale House, 1971) though not a typical study Bible, is
nonetheless an interpretive Bible that reflects a premillennial interpretation
of all key prophetic passages.
Classics
The greatest and most enduring
classic on the return of Jesus is William E. Blackstone’s book, Jesus is
Coming. It was written in 1878. The third revised edition of 1908 has been
recently republished with an introduction by John Walvoord (Grand Rapids, MI:
Kregel, 1989).
A foreign book that has come to be
considered one the great classics of end time prophecy is The Return of Jesus
Christby Rene Pache, translated into English by William S. LaSor (Chicago, IL:
Moody Press, 1955). It is must reading for any Bible prophecy enthusiast.
The 20th Century American classic is,
of course, Hal Lindsey’s book, The Late Great Planet Earth (Grand Rapids, MI:
Zondervan, 1970). The New York Times has certified that it was the number one
best selling book in the world (with the exception of the Bible) for ten years,
between 1970 and 1980!
Perhaps the most unusual book ever
published on Bible prophecy is Dispensational Truth by Clarence Larkin
(Philadelphia, PA: Reverend Clarence Larking Estate, 1920). Larkin was a
draftsman who devoted his talents to illustrating prophetic concepts with
fascinating charts and diagrams. This is a classic that will keep you up all
night!
