REAL RAW NEWS: Putin Executes Defiant 5G Executives - By Michael Baxter -August 14, 2023 - On Vladimir Putin’s orders, Russian Armed Forces on Friday executed a roomful of Telecom executives who eschewed Putin’s 5G moratorium and began raising a new 5G tower in Moscow’s opulent Ramenki District, an elite neighborhood with the corresponding price tag for real estate. As reported last week, Putin banned 5G throughout the Russian Federation and dismantled existing towers in Russia’s three largest cities—Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Novosibirsk—citing reports that electromagnetic frequencies had killed school children. At an earlier meeting, an agent with Putin’s Presidential Protection Force shot an MTS Telecom executive dead for questioning the Russian president’s authority. https://realrawnews.com/2023/08/putin-executes-defiant-5g-executives/

TIM BROWN - Peymon Muttahedeh on the IRS: Those Who Pay Tribute to the Beast Worship the Beast (Videos) - Tuesday, August 15, 2023 - During the course of the Red Pill Expo this year, I met an energetic American who believes in decentralization and most definitely does not believe in the income tax or the Internal Revenue Service.  That man is Peymon Muttahedeh.  He runs FreedomLawSchool.org and advises every American to stop filing 1099s and stop paying income tax unless they serve the Beast DC government in DC, something I have advocated for quite a while as there is no law stating that one must file a 1099.  I was able to sit down with him for a few minutes and if you go to his site, he will teach you, for free, how to even keep your employer from robbing you for federal government taxes from your paycheck before you get it…. https://beforeitsnews.com/u-s-politics/2023/08/peymon-muttahedeh-on-the-irs-those-who-pay-tribute-to-the-beast-worship-the-beast-video-2606665.html

The plans are for the village to be established between the cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg as part of a 5-year pilot program. Konstantin Klimenko, who leads the Eurasian International University (EIU) and serves as general representative of the AIC in Russia, confirmed the news in a statement. “We plan to establish 30 settlements in Russia for Afrikaners seeking immigration,” Klimenko said. https://bigleaguepolitics.com/russia-is-creating-a-village-for-white-south-african-refugees-to-escape-black-terrorism/

TIM BROWN: Nurse Diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis After COVID Vaccine Sues Former Employer - Tuesday, August 15, 2023 - More of this is coming, and possibly legal charges against doctors, nurses, hospitals, pharmacies and Big Pharma itself, along with political pimps who promoted the deadly, experimental COVID shots.  A recent indication came in an interview I did at the Red Pill Expo this year with Scott Schara, whose 19-year-old daughter Grace was targeted by a Catholic hospital in Wisconsin.  Schara told me that the judge is allowing the suit to go forward and that nurses on the Zoom link gasped, “We’re all in jeopardy now!”  However, an Ohio Nurse is suing her former employer after being coerced into taking the shot, which led to her being diagnosed with transverse myelitis. https://beforeitsnews.com/u-s-politics/2023/08/nurse-diagnosed-with-transverse-myelitis-after-covid-vaccine-sues-former-employer-2606658.html

ATLAS SHRUGS: President Trump Is Charged as a Racketeer and Boss of a ‘Criminal Enterprise’ For Questioning Rigged Election - Tuesday, August 15, 2023 - The indictment of President Trump and 18 others in Georgia for concocting a “criminal enterprise” intended to overturn the results of the 2020 election — they are accused of being racketeers — is the last legal shoe to drop, and it’s as big a boot as can be imagined. The indictment, handed up by a grand jury at Fulton County, will be prosecuted by District Attorney Fani Willis. In its multitude of defendants and roster of charges — 41, all told — it exceeds in scope and severity the indictments drafted by Special Counsel Jack Smith and District Attorney Alvin Bragg. (Comment: This is all a farce of course because the true ballots were water marked meaning these were the only ballots that could be used. Any mail in ballots without the water mark should not have been counted.) https://beforeitsnews.com/opinion-conservative/2023/08/president-trump-is-charged-as-a-racketeer-and-boss-of-a-criminal-enterprise-for-questioning-rigged-election-3670193.html

Harmonizing the Gospels - Tuesday, August 15, 2023 - Skeptics of the Bible nitpick different accounts of similar events. If the four gospels don’t align exactly at every detail, the claim is made that there are mistakes in the Bible. It seems to me that when the Gospels were put together, the compilers would have noted differences and fixed them if they were thought to be a problem historically. They didn’t. The different Gospels are an interrelated harmony that tell a rich historical story. Luke includes some material not found in Matthew. He compiles his gospel account like an investigative reporter: https://beforeitsnews.com/opinion-conservative/2023/08/harmonizing-the-gospels-3670191.html

ACTIVISTS POST - Twin Crises Rattle America: Suicides And Drug Overdoses Hit Record Highs - TOPICS: Addiction Mental Health – By Tyler Durden - AUGUST 12, 2023 - A disturbing trend in America: New data reveals that suicides and drug overdoses climbed to a record high in 2022. The twin crises have been rapidly accelerating post-Covid and could be a symptom of a worsening nationwide mental health crisis. Instead of “woke” corporate media outlets pushing gender-identity conversations and warning about the end of the Earth because the hamburger that you eat and the car you drive are allegedly heating the planet (what about El Niño ? or the billionaires who fly around in private jets and sail on diesel-powered megayachts?) — Perhaps America’s mental health crisis is a more urgent topic. https://www.activistpost.com/2023/08/twin-crises-rattle-america-suicides-and-drug-overdoses-hit-record-highs.html

NTEB: Located in the literal valley where the Battle of Armageddon will be fought lies a 2,000-year old 'Jesus fish' mosaic on the floor of the Megiddo Prison – Aug. 15^th 2023 – By Geffory Grider - The term 'Armageddon' is used to often in our pop culture that we might tend to forget that it's an actual place, the valley of Megiddo in northern Israel. We might also tend to forget that the Battle of Armageddon, to be fought in the valley of Megiddo, is a war that will be just as real as WWI, WWII and WWIII. Hope you like horses 'cause you'll be riding one soon. "And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon." Revelation 16:16 (KJB) - Today, we have this tantalizing and fascinating story  of a mosaic that was uncovered on the floor of the Megiddo Prison, nearly 2,000-years old and showing what looks like a direct First Century reference to the followers of Jesus Christ. When you look at many of the discoveries found in biblical archaeology over the past 5 years, one can't help but think the Lord is pointing our attention directly to the pages of Bible prophecy as it begins to come alive. The Battle of Armageddon is when King Jesus returns with us, His redeemed soldier Bride army, to fight the demonic hordes of Antichrist at the Second Advent.

Can We Know When Jesus Will Return?

By Britt Gillette

Published on: June 18, 2017

Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd

Aug. 15^th 2023

 

Can we know when Jesus will return? No. When it comes to the exact timing of His return, we can’t know. Jesus Himself said “no man knows the day or the hour of my return, not even myself. Only my Father in heaven knows” (Mark 13:32). Jesus reiterated this concept when He said He would come like a thief in the night “when least expected” (Matthew 24:43-44).

 

This idea, coupled with the statement “no one can know the day or the hour” of His return, has led many Christians to believe they can’t know anything about the timing of His return. After all, if Jesus comes like a thief in the night when least expected, how could you know when He’s coming?

 

That’s a good question. And while it’s true we can’t know the day or the hour, the idea no one has a clue as to whether it’s tomorrow or a 1,000 years from now is just plain wrong. The Bible is clear we can know the general “season” of His return.

 

Like a Thief in the Night

 

Many people who believe we can’t know anything about the timing of Christ’s return base their belief on the idea Jesus “will come like a thief in the night.” Jesus did say He would come unexpectedly, like a thief in the night (Matthew 24:43-44). And Paul said the same thing (1 Thessalonians 5:2).

 

But if you read the rest of Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians, you’ll see he said something else as well. Paul said those of us who live in the light will not be surprised. While Jesus will come like a thief in the night when least expected, those who know God’s Word will not be surprised.

 

Here’s the full context of that passage (emphasis mine):

 

“But you aren’t in the dark about these things, dear brothers and sisters, and you won’t be surprised when the day of the Lord comes like a thief. For you are all children of the light and of the day; we don’t belong to darkness and night. So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded. Night is the time when people sleep and drinkers get drunk. But let us who live in the light be clearheaded, protected by the armor of faith and love, and wearing as our helmet the confidence of our salvation.” (1 Thessalonians 5:4-8 NLT)

 

How can this be? If Jesus comes unexpectedly like a thief in the night, how is it Christians are not surprised? It’s because we know to expect Jesus at any moment, and we obey His command to be alert and ready at all times. We also know the Second Coming of Jesus Christ to establish His Millennial Kingdom comes with many signs.

 

Why Would God Mention Signs?

 

If we can’t know anything about the timing of the Second Coming, then why did Jesus tell us to look for signs? When His disciples asked Him to describe the signs of His return, He told them. He didn’t rebuke them. He didn’t tell them to forget about such things. Instead, He described the signs. Why would Jesus say to look for signs if they don’t exist? Why would He mention them if we can’t know when He’s coming?

 

The answer is clear. We can know the general time frame of His return. We can’t know the day or the hour, but we can know the season. Numerous signs precede the Second Coming. Jesus and the prophets told us what those signs are. And Jesus said when you see them, you’ll know He’s near – right at the door (Matthew 24:33). We see those signs today. So we can know with certainty Jesus is coming soon.

 

A Command to Watch

 

Jesus also commanded us to “Watch!” (Matthew 25:13) This begs the question. Watch for what? Over and over again, Jesus says, “Watch! Don’t let me find you asleep when I come back without warning” (Mark 13:35-37). This is a clear command. But what does it mean? Jesus is telling us to be spiritually alert. If we live a life of faithful service to Him, the day of His return won’t catch us like a trap. Jesus says a faithful servant lives life expecting His return at any moment (Luke 12:35-38).

 

But Jesus is also telling us to watch for signs of the Second Coming. After all, if there are no signs, what are we supposed to “watching” for? Again, it’s clear. Signs will precede the Second Coming. And Jesus expects us to recognize those signs. If He didn’t, why would He command us to watch? He wouldn’t, because we would have nothing to look for.

 

We’re supposed to be watching for the signs. And Jesus says those who are ready and waiting when He returns will be rewarded (Luke 12:37).

 

Recognizing the Signs

 

In reference to His first coming, Jesus told the Pharisees, “You can recognize the signs in the sky and know what type of weather is coming, yet you don’t know how to recognize the signs of the times” (Matthew 16:3). The prophets had written extensively about the coming of the Messiah. The Pharisees knew when the Messiah was supposed to come. They knew the Messiah would perform many miracles.

 

Jesus fulfilled these prophecies right before their eyes. Yet the Pharisees still didn’t recognize who He was. Just as He did with the Pharisees, Jesus expects us to recognize the signs of His Second Coming. He told us what signs to look for. And the same prophets who wrote about His First Coming also wrote about His Second Coming. Like the Pharisees, we’re expected to recognize “the signs of the times.” Those signs tell us the Second Coming is drawing near.

 

Conclusion

 

While we can’t know the day or the hour of His return, we can know the general season. The Bible tells us what signs to look for. And Jesus Himself said when you see all these signs come together, you know His return is near (Luke 21:28). Today, we see those signs. Israel is once again a nation (Isaiah 11:11-12). The Jewish people are back in Jerusalem (Luke 21:24). And the gospel is being spread to the ends of the earth (Matthew 24:14). These and other signs are out in the open for everyone to see. You can’t miss them. For 1,800+ years of Christianity, these signs didn’t exist. Today, they do.

 

God said He will hold us accountable for letting others know about the signs (Ezekiel 33:1-6). Scripture says, “The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, speak to your people and say to them: ‘When I bring the sword against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men and make him their watchman, 3 and he sees the sword coming against the land and blows the trumpet to warn the people, 4 then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not heed the warning and the sword comes and takes their life, their blood will be on their own head. 5 Since they heard the sound of the trumpet but did not heed the warning, their blood will be on their own head. If they had heeded the warning, they would have saved themselves. 6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone’s life, that person’s life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood.’”

 

We’re expected to point out these signs to others. We’re expected to tell others Jesus is returning soon. If the world ignores us, so be it. But if anyone tells you we can’t know the timing of His return, tell them what the Bible says. The truth is we can know the general season of His return. And given all the signs we see today, we can be certain we’re living in it. The time is near. Jesus is coming soon!
